| atek | Hi guys, I have a question here about compiling 32 bit software in 64bit ubuntu. It seems when I try and compile wine I get the following error: checking whether gcc -m32 works... no | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| atek | configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries. | 00:00 |
| atek | ia32 libraries are definately installed though and I still get this. Suggestions? | 00:00 |
| Ddpbf | dennis_: sorry #ubuntu-app-devel | 00:00 |
| atek | dennis was that directed at me? | 00:00 |
| atek | nvm | 00:01 |
| vivek_ | so anthing other then man bash? | 00:01 |
| jimrew | does anyone want to try proto unity unity 2D? | 00:02 |
| atek | Here's my entire compile string: ./tools/wineinstall | 00:02 |
| atek | Wine Installer v1.0 | 00:02 |
| atek | We need to install Wine as the root user. Do you want us to build Wine, | 00:02 |
| atek | 'su root' and install Wine? Enter 'no' to build Wine without installing: | 00:02 |
| atek | (yes/no) yes | 00:02 |
| FloodBot1 | atek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:02 |
| atek | Running configure... | 00:02 |

| ysis | Hi, I'm running Natty 64bit on a notebook with an Intel Celeron 575 processor and want to use cpu frequency scaling. I found a bunch of forum posts and bug entries about p4-clockmod to be obsolete. Can someone point me in the right direction for this? | 00:13 |
| vivek_ | it will rectify all errors in the disk... | 00:13 |
| zen | . | 00:15 |
| coz_ | ysis, hold on let me find a link for that,, It did work last time I tried it | 00:15 |

| vivek_ | basilfaulty: do you have any other linux cd...sometimes ubuntu cd doesnt work in such cases.. i had a similar problem once and i tried bt.. it worked | 00:18 |
| coz_ | ysis, you might also want to read 'a few posts" about this using this search string ubuntu enable cpu scaling dont settle for the first post that comes up,, make sure they are all consistent | 00:19 |
| ysis | coz_: There is no cpufreq-selector available here. I'm quite sure that it works, because I had it working before with Gentoo and the p4-clockmod module. | 00:19 |
| basilfaulty | not to hand.. I was foolish and let pqmagic 'repair' my partition tables | 00:20 |
| ysis | coz_: Just wanted to check here if there's some magic buzz word which I can search for when it comes to cpu frequency scaling nowadays. | 00:20 |
| coz_ | ysis, well that search string in google should pull up quite a few posts.,, | 00:20 |
| basilfaulty | now linux can see them but windows not.. and linux not able to see any partitions | 00:20 |
| ysis | bisilfaulty: What's your problem? I just recently had some hard drive problem, so I might be able to help. | 00:20 |
| ysis | coz_: Thanks, I'll keep looking. | 00:21 |

| tripelb | Yesterday my 10.04 jammed up and the system monitor showed completely full even when everything was closed, except xchat. Previously I had transmission downloading at 200KBPS (yes!) but I stopped that to get the RAM to clear. then it disconnected me from freenode so I turned the computer off and left it till now. Help me please! (grovel) | 00:26 |
| ysis | basilfaulty: Depends what's in this 2.5 TB. If it's valuable you should definitely do a backup, with ddrescue, for instance. | 00:27 |
| nuefox | can someone help me out please, i can't figure it out, trying to install 11.04 from usb stick,but my installer freezes :( | 00:27 |
| cablop | yes i see that kapackagekit thing i thout it was just for update packages... it seems that the kde thing is ignoring my synaptic setings of prefering maverick-updates and keeps offering me updates | 00:27 |

| basilfaulty | thx | 00:32 |
| qin | tripelb: Well, you would want start from very thorought study of iptables, in short you set extra box "in fornt of router", and letting it bridge connection and there your firewall will act. | 00:32 |
| gorgonzolla | i'd like to make the Q key the A key, for instance. | 00:32 |

| Phong_ | how do i get rid of keyring thing | 00:41 |
| Phong_ | i have no idea what the heck is keyring for | 00:41 |
| gadgetdevil | keyring is for storing various passwords of the system, such as WiFi passwords, etc. | 00:42 |
| aeon-ltd | seahorse | 00:42 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, but i dont want it | 00:42 |
| iuri | Does anyone know how to play .mov on ubuntu ? | 00:42 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, do you log in automatically? | 00:42 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, in older version of ubuntu dont ask me that | 00:42 |

| kylefox | When I'm searching for a package with aptitude, how can I have the output show the version number? | 00:43 |
| Phong_ | hello ? | 00:43 |
| ysis | iuri: Try google. | 00:43 |
| iuri | i tried | 00:44 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, that is the problem, when you enable auto-login, you do not have a keyring that automatically gets unlocked, because that would be unsafe, what you can do is go to Passwords & Encryption keys and remove all your keyrings | 00:44 |
| dj24 | tripelb, how much ram | 00:44 |
| iuri | i already added midubuntu on my source.list | 00:44 |
| ysis | kylefox: "aptitude show <package>"? | 00:44 |
| iuri | and i installed the whole thing in this tutorial | 00:44 |
| gadgetdevil | next time you get asked for a pasword, do not enter a password, instead hit cancel and do not create a password-protected keyring | 00:45 |
| ysis | iuri: Try mplayer | 00:45 |
| Phong_ | ok | 00:45 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, ok boss | 00:45 |
| iuri | did also | 00:45 |
| gadgetdevil | note that this is very unsafe, I would recommend that you just disable auto-login | 00:45 |
| gustonegro | is there a way to add firmware support for my wireless card to an ubuntu instal USB stick? | 00:45 |
| ysis | and you can't play it with mplayer? | 00:45 |
| iuri | i beleive it has to do with gsstream | 00:45 |
| Phong_ | how to disable autologin? | 00:45 |
| ysis | iuri: no, mplayer is independent | 00:45 |
| roarde | What's a good location for binaries that I've compiled myself? | 00:46 |
| iuri | because when i tried to open the link with the .mov it pops up and windows | 00:46 |
| iuri | telling me that i dont have the plugin | 00:46 |
| iuri | i need to find a suitable plugin | 00:46 |
| Jeruvy | roarde: /usr/local/bin | 00:46 |
| ysis | have you tried on the command line "mplayer path/to/mov"? | 00:46 |
| ysis | iuri | 00:46 |
| iuri | yes | 00:47 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, is there software to do image of current drive contain ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, go to System > Login Screen Settings | 00:47 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, i really want to know if there exist imaging softgware | 00:47 |
| Jeruvy | Phong_: dd is widely used. | 00:47 |
| Ddpbf | iuri: vlc and mplayer are playing .mov files | 00:47 |
| gustonegro | I want to add the broadcam sta driver. is there just a .deb package I can add to the USB install stick? | 00:47 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, yes, I recommend using CloneZilla, it is FOSS software to do a bit-for-bit copy of your entire drive | 00:47 |
| ysis | Phong_: use ddrescue (gddrescue in the repos) | 00:47 |
| kaddidle | roarde: I usually put them in ~/bin and add that to my path. Move to /usr/local/bin when you are ready for others to use your program. | 00:47 |
| roarde | Jeruvy: don't binaries from official packages go there? | 00:48 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, does it compress while imaging? | 00:48 |
| Jeruvy | roarde: they can. | 00:48 |
| ysis | iuri: Maybe your .mov file is broken. | 00:48 |
| Phong_ | gadgetdevil, ever heard of Acronis true image? it compress while imaging | 00:48 |
| Ddpbf | iuri: if you are living outside of Northern America just type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:48 |
| iuri | ysis, that is what i am testing now | 00:48 |
| iuri | do you have a valid sample where i can dpwnload? | 00:49 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, yes I have heard of it, this is more of a replacement for Norton Ghost, though you may be able to achieve the same effect by piping the output of dd through bzip | 00:49 |
| Phong_ | how to install clonezilla? | 00:49 |
| Phong_ | or dd | 00:49 |
| roarde | thanks Jeruvy, kaddidle -- that tells me what I wanted to know. | 00:50 |

| ysis | iuri: Again, use google or a search engine of your preference | 00:50 |
| Ddpbf | vlc? | 00:50 |
| Ddpbf | iuri: http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mov | 00:50 |
| iuri | Ddpbf, that is installed too | 00:51 |
| Ddpbf | than it's maybe broken file | 00:51 |
| ysis | iuri: What exactly is the error message mplayer throws? | 00:51 |
| gadgetdevil | Phong_, dd already comes with your system, but you can not backup your entire system while you are using it, if you just want to back up your Home folder you can use dd otherwise use the Clonezilla boot disk | 00:51 |
| iuri | he required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that supports the selected file? | 00:52 |
| iuri | The search will also include software which is not officially supported. | 00:52 |

| djmaster | tomreyn, ?> | 00:57 |
| shuaib | where can I check the md5 | 00:57 |
| basilfaulty | any utils u know of that migt help? | 00:57 |
| ysis | basilfaulty: Depends what's wrong exactly. If it's the partition table, a program like testdisk could do, but if it's the filesystem itself, I don't know. | 00:58 |
| tomreyn | djmaster: you said you did alt+f2 and type update-manager -d. did this make the distribution upgrade work? | 00:58 |
| djmaster | tomreyn, i dont under stand | 00:58 |
| gadgetdevil | shuaib, when you first boot of the disk, press enter and scroll down to verify disk | 00:58 |
| djmaster | tomreyn, no | 00:59 |
| basilfaulty | partition magic said it was fixing the size | 00:59 |
| ysis | basilfaulty: If you value the data on this drive, you should really make a bit-wise backup before proceeding. | 00:59 |
| ysis | basilfaulty: What was your intention when using partition magic in the first place? | 00:59 |
| shuaib | gadgetdevil: I am not able to boot | 00:59 |
| basilfaulty | yes, seems best.. will try copying what I want off | 00:59 |
| shuaib | aren't the md5 liste on the site | 00:59 |
| basilfaulty | resize a partition so I could squeeze ubuntu on | 00:59 |
| tomreyn | djmaster: open a terminal window and run this same command there: update-manager -d | 00:59 |

| n4dsp | whats the best way to learn linux | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | n4dsp: install it and use it | 01:22 |
| gskellig | indeed | 01:22 |
| n4dsp | ok | 01:22 |
| KM0201 | n4dsp: set up a dual boot, so if you hit a major wall w/ Linux, you have Windows to fall back on, otherwise, you'll be reinstalling Windows before the weekend. | 01:23 |
| n4dsp | I tried that a year ago and found myself not wanting to learn linux so i dumped windows xp 2 months ago and now I am forced to learn linux | 01:24 |
| gskellig | lol@forced | 01:24 |
| n4dsp | to use it | 01:24 |
| n4dsp | hahaha | 01:24 |
| gskellig | anyone help me with video drivers/glx issues/unity issues? | 01:24 |
| KM0201 | n4dsp: if can't convince yourself to learn Linux when you have a dual boot system, then you won't convince yourself to use it when you don't have windows, and reinstalling windows is a simple matter. | 01:25 |
| n4dsp | thanks | 01:25 |
| n4dsp | lot of bans here! | 01:25 |
| gskellig | the channel has 1508 people currently | 01:25 |
| Tweaky | sadly i dual boot. but only windows for a decent lightscribe application as none exist for linux 64bit | 01:25 |
| gskellig | i'm surprised theres not more trolls =/ | 01:26 |
| gskellig | and advertisements... | 01:26 |
| rww | gskellig: there's a reason we have floodbots and lots of ops ;) | 01:26 |
| gskellig | NONE seriously Tweaky? | 01:26 |
| gskellig | i dual boot for very proprietary software | 01:26 |
| gskellig | and *games* | 01:26 |
| Narigo | how can i edit the launcher in unity? i want to see why i cannot use the "keep in launcher" feature with some programs (they won't start and i want to know what is different to "regular" installed apps) | 01:26 |
| n4dsp | ok | 01:26 |
| Tweaky | narigo if you find the answer id love to know as well lol | 01:27 |
| KM0201 | gskellig: gaming is the one difficult thing to really do on Linux, unless you're using Linux native games (i like some of the native games) | 01:27 |
| Tweaky | with enough desire it will run anything >_> | 01:27 |
| n4dsp | so this is the best place to ask questions at all hours | 01:27 |
| gskellig | KM0201, playonlinux is amazing | 01:28 |
| gskellig | ubuntu related, yes n4dsp | 01:28 |
| n4dsp | what is that | 01:28 |

| andre_pl | my system wont respond to keyboard or mouse after rebooting today. recovery mode works, but gdm freezes right away | 01:29 |
| Narigo | Tweaky: I only found one should look at "~/.gconf/desktop/unity/launcher/favourites" --- but I do not have a ~/.gconf/desktop/unity folder... | 01:30 |
| andre_pl | xorg in general, i removed gdm amd startx hangs too | 01:30 |
| Tweaky | narigo - not at all? perhaps its hidden? | 01:30 |
| nuefox | is there a problem with ATI cards under Ubuntu 11.04? this is slow as hell | 01:31 |
| Narigo | .gconf is hidden, yes, i can find that, desktop is there, too - but no "unity" subfolder - just a "gnome" subfolder in there... | 01:31 |

| Raikia | Hey, does anyone know of a good bug tracking system? Which is the best (in your opinion) between Trac, Redmine, Bugzilla, Jira, or any others that you know. It needs SVN integration | 01:33 |

| nuefox | is there a way to make mouse slower? | 01:35 |

| nuefox | Tweaky, aye | 01:36 |
| nuefox | Tweaky, but mouse settings doesnt help..it's still too fast | 01:36 |
| gskellig | nuefox, synaptic mouse driver? | 01:37 |
| Tweaky | nuefox: oh you have already slowed it down to minimum? | 01:37 |
| nuefox | Tweaky, yep.. | 01:37 |
| nuefox | gskellig, dont know which driver :P regular one i think.. | 01:37 |
| Narigo | Tweaky: I guess my problem is the Exec=XXXX line in the file /usr/share/applications/XXXX.desktop | 01:37 |
| gskellig | try "synclient MinSpeed=0.5 MaxSpeed=0.5 AccelFactor=0" and change the 0.5 to lower numbers if its too fast or higher numbers if its too slow | 01:37 |
| gskellig | i know that works for synaptics | 01:38 |
| Tweaky | im also having an issue where my window borders disappear | 01:38 |
| Narigo | It cannot find it but it doesn't give me an error :( | 01:38 |
| nuefox | gskellig, no synaptics :P didnt work | 01:38 |

| nbros652 | Hey all, I have an Ubuntu server set up with samba shares. Each user is created with certain files in his home directory. Problem is that I cannot see the files that are put each users account from a remote Ubuntu terminal mounting the SMB share. I CAN however see these files from Windows terminals. Any idea why? | 01:41 |
| linxeh | hmuller: certainly when I was using it on my pentium-m it supported it, and I've not used that for 3-4 years | 01:41 |

| Cameron904 | it takes me like 9 tries to connect to my wifi. | 01:44 |
| Co11ym00r3 | ? | 01:44 |
| hmuller | linxeh: Thanks for the update. I started using Ubuntu around Jaunty/Karmic timeframe and don't remember it being a normal feature at that time | 01:45 |

| linxeh | hmuller: not all cpus were supported though, I was lucky I guess | 01:51 |
| hmuller | linxeh: Ah, Gutsy/Hardy... I remember those, I must have started using Ubuntu earlier than remembered. Gentoo and Linux From Scratch before that. | 01:53 |
| linxeh | hmuller: slackware from 94-2001, redhat/fedora from 2001-2003, debian/ubuntu from then on :) | 01:54 |
| linxeh | I never saw the desire in burning fuel for pointless recompiles with gentoo | 01:54 |
| Co11ym00r3 | well you gotta be more specific | 01:54 |
| Co11ym00r3 | where can I find the Icon that is placed on the systray so i can delete it? | 01:54 |

| mdg2 | Where is a good place to look for info on "sourcing" an app? | 02:11 |
| Narigo | Gorkyman: ls -t would be for "one" directory, indicating which (sub)dir was changed last... | 02:12 |

| Gorkyman | Narigo: what about last 10 changed files for ALL subdirs? | 02:13 |
| cablop | arzy, yes i have problems in my netbook with pulseaudio, afaik, it seems it is something related to the kernel timing or interruptions | 02:13 |
| mdg2 | dooglus: you have to unload the ndiswrapper module | 02:13 |
| Gorkyman | anyone? | 02:14 |
| gskellig | anyone? | 02:14 |
| Edisto | can ubuntu run any package made for debian? | 02:14 |
| artsymptom | I have everything else working exept the audio, I install the restricted stuff from the package manager, but still no audio. | 02:14 |
| artsymptom | is this the right channel for ask for help? | 02:15 |
| cablop | arzy: the bad thing about reverting to alsa i sthe support for the microphone went really bad on it, then i have to enable pulse again and use another workarrount, that is go to pulseaudio settings and create a simultaneous output for all audio outputs then select that virtual device as the default one, the downside of it, if you use multiple users on same machine they cannotnaccess device... | 02:15 |
| cablop | ...audios if your account is on... but cause i'm the only user of my netbook it is pretty enough for me | 02:15 |
| mdg2 | artsymptom: not even beeps? | 02:15 |
| dooglus | mdg2: ok, I can do that. what else? I suspect unloading it will stop me being able to hear the rest of your instructions | 02:16 |

| dooglus | mdg2: I think rmmod only lasts until I reboot | 02:24 |

| Aryden | Greetings all | 02:39 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone experienced in setting up an odd number channels on ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| rinkukokiri | *audio channels | 02:40 |
| Aryden | Anyone available to assist me with some driver issues on 11? Cant get my memory sticks or flash cards to mount | 02:40 |
| nbros652 | Hey all, I have an Ubuntu server set up with samba shares. Each user is created with certain files in his home directory. Problem is that I cannot see the files that are put each users account from a remote Ubuntu terminal mounting the SMB share. I CAN however see these files from Windows terminals. Any idea why? | 02:40 |
| rinkukokiri | it appears there is no one in here helping us | 02:41 |
| ubuntuifngv | <pksadiq> :sorry my attention some where else | 02:41 |
| ubuntuifngv | im wanting to remove ubuntuone widget | 02:41 |
| pksadiq | !surround | 02:42 |
| ubottu | If you're having trouble getting surround sound working in Ubuntu, try the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound | 02:42 |
| rinkukokiri | !audio | 02:42 |
| ubottu | 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. | 02:42 |
| Ericthegreat | hello | 02:42 |
| Aryden | @Nbros have you checked permissions? | 02:42 |
| gskellig | can someone help me get glx/unity working on ubuntu 11.04? | 02:42 |
| preecher | upper right where my time & name are on the top panel (ubuntu 11.04) all the icons are ok but the time display & name are very dim barley visable--any ideas on how to fix this--i have tried all the icon & themes and so far nothing is working | 02:42 |
| ubuntuifngv | and i was wondering if i could use k3b as my burner instead of brasero | 02:42 |
| KM0201 | gskellig: do you have 3d drivers installed for your graphics card? | 02:42 |
| ubuntuifngv | with banshee | 02:43 |
| gskellig | I don't know. i915 3D? | 02:43 |
| Ericthegreat | My ubuntu hangs at startup but I have found adding "i915.modeset=0" fixes the problem but now I have no unity, could anyone help me? | 02:43 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: yeah, and I can do whatever I want from windows. The files are just invisible in Linux. If I add files, from linux, I can see those files, and only those files. | 02:43 |
| rinkukokiri | so for three channel sound I would use 3? | 02:43 |
| gskellig | nbros652, i think we have the same problem | 02:43 |
| gskellig | oops | 02:43 |
| gskellig | not nbros, Ericthegreat | 02:43 |
| Ericthegreat | ? | 02:44 |
| Aryden | that sounds like permissions to me. Windows doesnt give a rats tooty, linux does | 02:44 |
| gskellig | i have i915 driver and no unity | 02:44 |
| gskellig | i used to have unity but now i don't | 02:44 |
| gskellig | i915 should be supported with unity | 02:44 |
| Ericthegreat | yea | 02:44 |
| gskellig | what graphics card? | 02:44 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: The files I add have the exact same permissions as the the ones I can't see | 02:44 |
| Aryden | add a file and chmod it to 755 and see if you can see it | 02:44 |
| gskellig | i have an intel GMA x4500MHD | 02:44 |
| === sn1wflake is now known as sn0wflake | ||
| rinkukokiri | pksadiq, so for 2.1 i would use 3? | 02:45 |
| Ericthegreat | hmm | 02:45 |
| rinkukokiri | that page doesn't specify | 02:45 |
| Ericthegreat | does boot hang for you if you dont modeset=0? | 02:45 |
| pksadiq | ruconse: may be , not sure, have not used yet | 02:45 |
| pksadiq | ubuntuifngv: can't you right click on that and do it? | 02:46 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: that does it, but why can't the owner see the file when the owners permissions are set to 7? | 02:46 |
| Aryden | Nbros, I had the same issue with an OSX server, perms were the culprit there, not saying its is here, but worth a look | 02:46 |
| ubuntuifngv | uh? | 02:46 |
| ubuntuifngv | hu? | 02:46 |
| gskellig | i dont know Ericthegreat, i've tried a few things but they usually make it not boot. | 02:47 |
| Aryden | could be an issue with "who" exactly owns the file | 02:47 |
| gskellig | how does it hang? | 02:47 |
| gskellig | I get a mouse and ubuntu loading screen but nothing else happens I can't even ctrl+alt+F1 to get terminal | 02:47 |
| KM0201 | gskellig: whats your graphics device anyway? | 02:47 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: so 755 works but, that doesn't explain why they were hidden when they had the same permissions as files that were visible that I uploaded from linux | 02:47 |
| gskellig | KM0201, Intel GMA x4500MHD, but i also have an nvidia GT210M that's disabled. | 02:47 |
| gskellig | dual gpu laptop. but the nvidia one is turned off | 02:48 |
| Aryden | it does, linux is far more explicit than windows. Windows only cares about who can write and or execute mainly. | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | gskellig: i would think the nvidia would run unity, but thats just a guess | 02:48 |
| roothorick | gskellig: it's a known problem. And the nV GPU isn't actually turned off, it's just inaccessible for now | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | oh | 02:48 |
| roothorick | KM0201: he's talking about nV's Optimus stuff that doesn't work at all in Linux yet | 02:48 |
| gskellig | the intel GMA is under unity supported devices, and i've gotten it to run unity in the past | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | roothorick: oh ok | 02:49 |
| gskellig | roothorick, I've disabled the nvidia card completely, with a modprobe | 02:49 |
| roothorick | gskellig: it's still drawing power | 02:49 |
| gskellig | by default it is, I have actually turned it off | 02:49 |
| roothorick | gskellig: how did you manage that? | 02:49 |
| gskellig | it doesn't come up in "lshw -C video" | 02:49 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: aside from windows though. I from linux, I have files with exactly the same permissions. Some visible some not. Only difference is that the visible ones were uploaded from linux into the mounted SMB folder. | 02:49 |
| gskellig | it did before I turned it off. I found a modprobe online | 02:49 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone know where there's a more up to date version of this?? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525 | 02:50 |
| gskellig | turns it off completely | 02:50 |
| rewt | how do i make isc-dhclient-V3.1.3 (in 10.04.2 LTS) NOT overwrite /etc/resolv.conf ? | 02:50 |
| Aryden | and none that are uploaded fromwindows are visible remotely in terminal? | 02:50 |
| gskellig | it's specifically for the asus UL series of laptops, I can link you if you want roothorick | 02:50 |
| Ericthegreat | gskellig we got same prob | 02:50 |
| gskellig | laptop Ericthegreat ? | 02:50 |
| Ericthegreat | just my other gpu is ati | 02:50 |
| gskellig | oh | 02:50 |
| gskellig | yeah | 02:51 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, do you have any intention of using your ATI card? Or do you only want to use the intel one | 02:51 |
| gskellig | (i'm assuming intel) the on board one | 02:51 |
| Ericthegreat | have you tryed forceing unity on? I am about to? | 02:51 |
| gskellig | how do you "force" It? | 02:51 |
| gskellig | glxgears gives me errors, so I don't think it will even work if i force it. | 02:51 |
| Ericthegreat | I use it in windows | 02:51 |
| gskellig | ditto. | 02:52 |
| Ericthegreat | dont wanna kill it | 02:52 |
| gskellig | double check and see if your ati drivers are completely uninstalled | 02:52 |
| Ericthegreat | compizconfig? | 02:52 |
| Ericthegreat | yea I did that | 02:52 |
| nbros652 | Aryden: No, I can see files on the linux computer that were uploaded from a windows computer. | 02:52 |
| gskellig | I did a sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current and I think it would fix it but for some reason it wouldn't even boot after that | 02:52 |
| gskellig | someone online fixed their problem (identical to mine) by apt-get purge nvidia-current (purging all the nvidia drivers) and it fixed their unity issues | 02:52 |
| gskellig | but just made my problem worse =( | 02:53 |
| Ericthegreat | my prob is ubuntu dont boot lol unless I use i951.modeset=0 lol | 02:53 |
| Ericthegreat | 1/5 trys it will boot with unity lmfao | 02:53 |
| gskellig | i915 you mean? | 02:53 |
| Ericthegreat | modeset=0 will always boot but no unity lol | 02:53 |
| Ericthegreat | yea | 02:53 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: I hope you get command line, login and do sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot | 02:53 |
| Ericthegreat | 915 | 02:53 |
| Aryden | Nbros: private chat? | 02:53 |
| gskellig | pksadiq, why nvidia-xconfig? | 02:54 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: if you are using nvidia | 02:54 |
| gskellig | I don't want to use the nvidia card at all in ubuntu | 02:54 |
| gskellig | i want to disable and uninstall everything related to nvidia while on ubuntu | 02:54 |
| gskellig | and only use the on board graphics | 02:54 |
| gskellig | to save power | 02:54 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: if you are not using nvidia just remove the package and restart sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current | 02:54 |
| gskellig | i did that, and it hung on boot | 02:55 |
| gskellig | it displayed ubuntu loading screen, and i had a mouse i could move | 02:55 |
| gskellig | but i couldn't get a terminal anywhere | 02:55 |
| gskellig | ctrl+alt+F1 didnt' do anything, eventually even the mouse and ubuntu loading animation freeze | 02:55 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: try ALT+CTRL +F1 | 02:55 |
| gskellig | ^^ lol | 02:55 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: I think there is some thing like ALT+CTRL + Print Screen + K | 02:56 |
| pksadiq | gskellig: restart C | 02:56 |
| pksadiq | *X | 02:56 |
| === Gskelling is now known as Gskellig | ||
| Gskellig | yep. ctrl+alt+prntscreen+K worked lol | 02:57 |
| ubuntuifngv | <pksadiq> i solve it by removing banshee | 02:57 |
| Gskellig | also broke my x session O_o | 02:57 |
| Gskellig | took me to login screen | 02:57 |
| Ericthegreat | oh yea you guys I got another prob ctrl+alt+f2 I just get a black screen or a black screen with a cursor no terminal | 02:57 |
| ubuntuifngv | ty btw for helping | 02:57 |
| Gskellig | Ericthegreat, try ctrl+alt+F1 through F6, and ctrl+alt+F7 to get back | 02:58 |
| Ericthegreat | dont work | 02:58 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: now working? | 02:58 |
| Gskellig | nope, still normal gnome pksadiq | 02:58 |
| Gskellig | if I reboot and DO get a terminal, after removing nvidia drivers, what do i do? | 02:59 |
| Gskellig | assuming ctrl+alt+prntscrn+k works, which i'm not sure if it will since ctrl+alt+F1 didn't | 02:59 |
| xmzboys | fine | 02:59 |
| Polah | gskellig: Recovery console to get a command line perhaps | 02:59 |
| Polah | ? | 03:00 |
| Gskellig | so when i get a command line? how do i get gnome and everything working again | 03:00 |
| Ericthegreat | still also in gdm lol | 03:00 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: you installed nvidia-current and you are still getting X on intel :O ? | 03:00 |
| Gskellig | pksadiq, i don't want to use nvidia, i want to remove nvidia-current | 03:00 |
| Gskellig | but if i remove nvidia-current it hangs at boot. Even though i am currently only using the intel card | 03:01 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: do you get terminal (ALT+CTRL+T) if so remove there | 03:01 |
| Gskellig | this is if i reboot after removing nvidia-current successfully | 03:01 |
| Gskellig | i'm using gnome in the system i'm talking about now | 03:01 |
| Gskellig | works fine, just no unity or glx | 03:01 |
| Gskellig | i appreciate your guys help btw. this is further than i've gotten before | 03:02 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: then remove nvidia current and try sudo Xorg -configure and copy the xorg.conf file to /etc/xorg.conf | 03:02 |
| Gskellig | weirdest part is in the past i have installed 11.04 and unity worked right from the get go. THIS time after installing 11.04 it failed on the first boot | 03:03 |
| Gskellig | okay pksadiq, i'm logging onto my other PC so you guys can help me if it hangs, brb | 03:03 |
| olskolirc | how do I completely uninstall ubuntu desktop please? | 03:03 |
| Gskellig | alright | 03:03 |
| olskolirc | sudo apt-get purge remove ubuntu-core? something like that? | 03:03 |
| Gskellig | its removing nvidia-current now | 03:04 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | how do you map around bad sectors on ubuntu?? my storage hd has 26 bad sectors | 03:04 |
| nit-wit | olskolirc, what do you want for the DE ? | 03:04 |
| Gskellig | Ericthegreat, make any progress? | 03:04 |
| olskolirc | my friend has kubuntu so that he can uninstall ubuntu and reinstall b/c it was a bad install it freezes | 03:04 |
| olskolirc | nit-wit, | 03:04 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: do sudo Xorg -confugre and copy the file before restarting | 03:05 |
| nit-wit | olskolirc, what is your friends release? | 03:05 |
| olskolirc | Natty | 03:05 |
| pksadiq | ^ug^ig | 03:05 |
| Gskellig | pksadiq, i tried, it gave me an error about how xserver was already running | 03:05 |
| Gskellig | i figured i'd just reboot and try again | 03:05 |
| nit-wit | olskolirc, you really don't nrrd to remove unty, you can just install another and use it. | 03:06 |
| nit-wit | *unity | 03:06 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: remove the lock file | 03:06 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone successful in setting up a 2.1 sound system?? | 03:06 |
| Gskellig | pksadiq, lock file? | 03:06 |
| olskolirc | nit-wit, i know he wants to reinstall how to completely remove and reinstall please | 03:07 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: sudo rm /tmp/.X0-lock and the Xorg -configure | 03:07 |
| Gskellig | i already rebooted =/ into recovery | 03:07 |
| dooglus | every time I boot, I get a blue kubuntu splash screen. how can I switch back to the black ubuntu one? | 03:08 |
| Gskellig | cant establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running | 03:08 |
| dooglus | and every time I shut down, it hangs (after 'all processes stopped within 2 seconds' or some such) and I have to turn the power off - can I fix it? | 03:09 |
| nit-wit | olskolirc, natty is a bit different I don't think it is as simple a removing unity and installing another. Can you state what you want exactly. | 03:09 |
| olskolirc | uninstall ubuntu desktop nit-wit | 03:10 |
| olskolirc | and then he wants to reinstall ubuntu (classic) 11.04 nit-wit | 03:10 |
| dooglus | olskolirc: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu desktop nit-wit | 03:11 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: do you get tty? | 03:11 |
| nit-wit | dooglus, that will remove very little | 03:11 |
| rinkukokiri | olskolirc, skip all the install/uninstall stuff and just choose classic login from the login screen | 03:11 |
| dooglus | nit-wit: what do you want to remove? | 03:11 |
| dooglus | nit-wit: put the last after 'remove' | 03:12 |
| Gskellig | when I go into recovery I can get it | 03:12 |
| Gskellig | I can't if i boot normally, it hangs on boot | 03:12 |
| nit-wit | dooglus, your talking to the wrong person olskolirc is your target.;) | 03:12 |
| olskolirc | his classic is busted rinkukokiri thats why he wants to uninstall and reinstall | 03:12 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: ok now do sudo Xorg -configure and copy that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:12 |
| Aginor | is the install busted or his settings? if it's the settings then uninstalling and reinstalling the packages won't help | 03:13 |
| nit-wit | olskolirc, they also heve othe rdesktops installed correct like kubuntu? | 03:13 |
| rinkukokiri | see? this is why I question why the heck they added that Unity crap in the first place | 03:13 |
| rinkukokiri | it did nothing but confuze people and | 03:13 |
| rinkukokiri | make others really mad | 03:13 |
| Gskellig | Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running | 03:13 |
| Gskellig | and some other weird errors | 03:13 |
| rinkukokiri | not everyone has a freaking touch screen, netbook, etc. | 03:13 |
| pksadiq | Gskellig: try sudo service gdm stop | 03:14 |
| Gskellig | _XSERVTransSOcketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed and server already running | 03:14 |
| rinkukokiri | oh, and don't even mention you wanna try and use dual heads... | 03:14 |
| rinkukokiri | cause unity is USELESS | 03:14 |
| Gskellig | wow | 03:14 |
| rinkukokiri | </rant> | 03:14 |
| Gskellig | i bet unity works great with a touchscreen! lol | 03:14 |
| nit-wit | ! ot | rinkukokiri | 03:14 |

| dooglus | every time I boot, I get a blue kubuntu splash screen. how can I switch back to the black ubuntu one? | 03:15 |
| rinkukokiri | nit-wit, i already posed my support related question.... | 03:15 |
| Gskellig | pksadiq, Xorg worked! | 03:15 |
| Gskellig | rebooting now. | 03:15 |
| rinkukokiri | i need help activating my subwoofer it's dolby 2.1 on my laptop. | 03:15 |
| Gskellig | copied to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:15 |
| andantino | does anyone here know a channel where i could ask questions related to virtual box? | 03:16 |
| Gskellig | UNITY! | 03:16 |
| Gskellig | pksadiq, youre my hero. | 03:16 |
| rinkukokiri | and complaining about how unity does or doesn't work is support related | 03:16 |
| rinkukokiri | it's part of ubuntu and I have problems using it with dual desktop mode. as a matter of fact. | 03:16 |
| pksadiq | rinkukokiri: just wait some more time every thing here is not like M$, not getting income to answer, but simply for FREE(DOM) | 03:16 |
| KM0201 | Gskellig: thats good news... now you can see the suck that is unity.. :) | 03:17 |
| ubun61 | yaeh.. | 03:17 |
| rinkukokiri | ##windows doesn't get paid either | 03:17 |
| nit-wit | rinkukokiri, ranting is not appreciated, we all have our issues.;) | 03:17 |
| rinkukokiri | although the support there isn't on fire either | 03:17 |
| pksadiq | rinkukokiri: I mean not like windows support ;), if nobody answers you , let me google, wait | 03:17 |
| rinkukokiri | lol already did google on both my questions.. the audio one refers me back to my original ubuntu forums thread titled "anyone got an asus m70vm, i'm getting one and need to know some things" from 2008 | 03:18 |

| Ash-Fox | Greetings. I'm currently trying to store my syslog data 'auth,authpriv.*' directly on to a tape drive raw. And while I have succeeded in doing so, I have ran into a problem where I need to be able to run a set of commands to properly load the tape before rsyslog starts (or before it starts logging data to it). Which config files / manuals should I go about reading up on to set this up? | 03:20 |
| pksadiq | rinkukokiri: did you try changing default-sample-channels = 3 in the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ? | 03:20 |
| rinkukokiri | the issue is with the way the channels are mapped, from what i've read | 03:21 |
| BuenGenio | hello | 03:21 |
| Gskellig | hello! | 03:21 |
| BuenGenio | I'm looking for Dovecot 2 packages for Maverick | 03:21 |
| rinkukokiri | pksadiq, example... channel map goes: FL, FR, RL, RR, CEN, LFE, SL, SR | 03:22 |
| Gskellig | mailserver? good luck. out of my league. | 03:22 |
| rinkukokiri | so where 3 would be front left, front right, rear left | 03:22 |
| metroider | hey, can anyone tell me how to access the clipboard in unity? | 03:22 |
| Gskellig | metroider, ctrl+v | 03:23 |
| Gskellig | just kidding =P | 03:23 |
| nit-wit | BuenGenio, #ubuntuserver might help as well. | 03:23 |
| rinkukokiri | pksadiq, i'm just hesitant about following "the hard way" from a tut (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=795525) that was outdated in 2009 | 03:23 |
| Gskellig | metroider, have you tried diodon? I tried it out awhile back | 03:23 |
| Sanctusorium | I am running into some real trouble with trying to install a GUI into Ubuntu Server 10.04. I've done apt-get ubuntu-desktop, I've installed VNC, and I am connected to the "desktop" via VNC, but I have just a grey background and a terminal window | 03:24 |
| Sanctusorium | Anyone able to help? | 03:24 |
| nit-wit | BuenGenio, sorry #ubuntu-server | 03:24 |
| metroider | Gskellig: i will look for it in the repos --it works with unity? | 03:24 |
| BuenGenio | yeah, already asked ) | 03:24 |
| BuenGenio | thanks | 03:24 |
| Sanctusorium | ... And I'll be asking this in #ubuntu-server as well! xD | 03:24 |
| Gskellig | i believe so. might need to add ppa:diodon-team/stable | 03:24 |
| metroider | hmm yeah i think i will have to add it | 03:25 |
| Gskellig | it says the diodon team provides packages for 11.04, so i would assume it worked with unity | 03:26 |
| goddard | so i got a little server trying to figure out what to do with it | 03:26 |

| gskellig | =\ | 03:33 |
| gskellig | i just fixed my problem. Fully uninstalling the nvidia drivers then reconfiguring X | 03:33 |
| gskellig | i messed with mine for about 3-4 days too | 03:33 |
| Ericthegreat | not all linux stuff windows got screwed up to had to do a reinstall (didnt have much on there tho) | 03:33 |

| gskellig | wubi comes with a utility to boot from USB | 03:38 |
| gskellig | but i agree unetbootin works better | 03:38 |
| gskellig | the wubi installer rather | 03:38 |
| GregAce | yep sorry I did the association a bit quicker | 03:38 |

| MrCartel | So vlc is able to play a stream, but mplayer gets a connection error. What should I check to find out why? | 03:39 |
| gskellig | my solution would to just use vlc =/ | 03:39 |
| gskellig | ive noticed vlc in general works when other stuff doesn't | 03:40 |
| djmaster | help im runing 10.04 and my xubuntu system will not do/show the distro upgarde help | 03:40 |
| nit-wit | gskellig, pendirve linux has two multiload usb apps available one each are for a MS or Linux install. | 03:40 |
| gskellig | interesting nit-wit, I didn't know they had come that far | 03:40 |
| gskellig | thats pretty cool | 03:40 |
| MrCartel | gskellig: Ah, Id still like to figure out why | 03:40 |
| gskellig | if i could help you I would =/ lol | 03:41 |
| nit-wit | gskellig, it is pretty cool the linux one is the better one I think. | 03:41 |
| gskellig | i've used slitaz before | 03:41 |
| gskellig | which is VERY lightweight | 03:42 |
| MrCartel | gskellig: I end up with connection error: connection refused, making me believe it is a permissions issue | 03:42 |
| rinkukokiri | ok so that tut didn't work | 03:42 |
| rinkukokiri | still have 2 of my 3 speakers working | 03:42 |
| pksadiq | rinkukokiri: did you tried this , a little more older @ 2008 http://www.automaticable.com/2008-05-28/how-to-enable-surround-sound-on-ubuntu-hardy/ | 03:45 |
| MK`` | are dvd and bluray disks also mounted in /cdrom? | 03:45 |
| MrCartel | MK``: I use /dev/sr0 | 03:46 |
| MrCartel | MK``: I guess you could mount it anywhere | 03:46 |
| MK`` | yeah I assume /cdrom, /mount, and /media are sort of legacy things | 03:47 |
| MK`` | for convinience | 03:47 |
| nexace | can someone tell me why 'sudo apt-get install apache2' is not resulting in the configuration files being placed into /etc/apache2 ? in fact, it is not even creating the directory | 03:47 |
| Flannel | nexace: You already had apache installed, and removed it (and then deleted that directory), didn't you? | 03:47 |
| nexace | yes | 03:48 |
| Flannel | nexace: So, when you removed "apache2" it only removed the apache2 package, it didn't remove any of the other apache packages (those other packages are where the majority of the config files are). You'll want to purge all apache packages, and then you will be able to install from scratch. | 03:49 |
| Flannel | nexace: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 03:49 |
| nexace | Linux onevo 2.6.35.4-rscloud #8 SMP Mon Sep 20 15:54:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 03:49 |
| Flannel | nexace: lsb_release -a | 03:49 |
| Flannel | 10.04? 10.10? 11.04? etc | 03:49 |
| nexace | 10.04.2 LTS | 03:50 |
| nexace | when apache2 was remove, i did apt-get autoremove | 03:50 |
| nexace | and rm'd /etc/apache2 | 03:50 |
| Flannel | nexace: Alright. Let me pull up the filenames. Just so you know, don't manually remove folders like that. If they came in with a package, they go out with a package (assuming you removed the correct package(s) correctly) | 03:51 |
| nexace | Flannel, actually that wasn't the case | 03:51 |
| gskellig | whoever came in here a bit ago asking about clipboard on unity THANK YOU | 03:51 |
| nexace | i wanted a reset of my configuration, and doing autoremove did not delete the conf files | 03:51 |
| gskellig | rediscovered diodon | 03:51 |
| gskellig | its amazing | 03:51 |
| nexace | so i did it manually | 03:52 |
| djmaster | help im runing 10.04 on xfce x-ubuntu i wont to do distro upgrade im a advanced linux user but xfce is new help | 03:52 |
| Flannel | nexace: Right. If you had removed the correct packages correctly, those config files will be removed. | 03:52 |
| Flannel | nexace: sudo apt-get purge apache2 apache2-mpm-worker apache2.2-common apache2.2-bin | 03:52 |
| nexace | ahh | 03:52 |
| nexace | thank you | 03:52 |
| Flannel | nexace: That should do you (purge is the important bit, it removes config files (well, whole packages) not just the binaries) | 03:52 |
| Flannel | nexace: After that, you should be able to reinstall apache2, and those files should come back. If not, we missed a package somewhere. | 03:53 |
| oo-oo | magizian.hopto.org has those.. | 03:53 |
| Flannel | nexace: If you were playing with apache modules (like libapache2-mod-php5, or something similar) you'll want to purge those packages too. `apt-get purge libapache2*` should work | 03:54 |
| nexace | Flannel: that worked, thank you | 03:54 |
| djmaster | can any body help | 03:55 |
| Flannel | nexace: The above( about modules) is still true, since those make files inside of those folders, so if you added any, purge and reinstall those as well. | 03:55 |
| Flannel | nexace: Just as an additional bit of info, dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you what package added that particular file, so you know what to purge without asking some stranger on the internet :) | 03:55 |
| nexace | Flannel: i'm hardly in a 'stranger' relationship with freenode #ubuntu :) | 03:56 |
| nexace | Flannel: this channel is clutch | 03:56 |
| nexace | but thanks | 03:57 |
| djmaster | fannel can you up date update manager ? i cabt get the distro upgrade even thru camand line sudo... | 03:58 |
| Dinosaurus | how can i disconnect from an sftp server from dolphin? | 03:59 |
| Flannel | djmaster: What error(s) are you getting on the command line? | 04:00 |
| djmaster | Flannel, no eres just no distro | 04:00 |
| Flannel | djmaster: I don't understand. What command are you running, and what are you expecting to happen vs what actually happens? | 04:01 |
| smartass | Does anyone here knows how multiple monitors are handled within ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| JdGordon | smartass: depends on your graphics card | 04:02 |
| JdGordon | with an nvidia card it sucks | 04:02 |
| noisewaterphd | smartass: usually handled by your graphics driver | 04:02 |
| noisewaterphd | i have no problems with nvidia or ati, notebook and desktop repectively | 04:03 |
| djmaster | Flannel, im running sudo apt-get update,sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo aptitude full-update | 04:03 |
| smartass | if I send a mousemove event to 35000 will it move the mouse to the 2nd monitor or does it use the resolution values only? | 04:03 |
| airtonix | why does the pidgin otr plugin fail at sending encrypted messages to windows and mac users ? | 04:03 |
| * airtonix rages | 04:03 | |
| smartass | does it handles each monitor within a virtual desktop? | 04:03 |
| Flannel | djmaster: So, sounds like you're already up to date. | 04:04 |
| Flannel | djmaster: Were you trying to upgrade between versions? (like, 10.10 to 11.04)? | 04:04 |
| noisewaterphd | airtonix: are those folks using otr and do you have their keys? | 04:04 |
| djmaster | Flannel, no 10.04 to 11.04 | 04:04 |
| noisewaterphd | smartass: you can do twinview or separate x screen, so it just depends on how you configure it | 04:04 |
| Flannel | djmaster: Well, you can't upgrade directly from 10.04 to 11.04, you'd have to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, and then from 10.10 to 11.04. | 04:05 |
| qin | djmaster: You system do not see non lts | 04:05 |
| Flannel | djmaster: And, it sounds like you're configured to only get prompted for lts releases, not every release. | 04:05 |
| Flannel | djmaster: If you want to jump off the LTS version (11.04 is not LTS), you can do that on one of the tabs in software sources/software properties. | 04:05 |
| college | How to install flash on Xubuntu | 04:05 |
| Flannel | djmaster: Then update manager will prompt you to upgrade to 10.10 | 04:06 |
| noisewaterphd | college: it's in the apt repositories | 04:06 |
| djmaster | Flannel, even the update manger wont give me a distro upgrade | 04:06 |
| smartass | if I'd my monitors setup as separate screens, what mouse coordinates do I need to send to display the mouse on a 2nd monitor for example | 04:07 |
| airtonix | noisewaterphd: of course they are. i see their messages, but they just see my messages as the raw un-decrpyted message | 04:07 |
| oo-oo | j/who | 04:07 |
| cpt_lame | heyguise, im having a bitch ofa time getting bitcoin to work on 11.04 with an nvidia card, any one have any luck? | 04:07 |
| Flannel | djmaster: You have to reconfigure your software properties to prompt you on every release instead of LTS only. | 04:07 |
| Flannel | cpt_lame: please mind your language. | 04:07 |
| cpt_lame | sorry | 04:07 |
| djmaster | Flannel, how | 04:08 |
| Ericthegreat | I cannot even get 11.04 to boot without i915.modeset=0 lol and when I do that I have no unity | 04:08 |
| Ericthegreat | anyone know how to fix it | 04:08 |
| Ericthegreat | would fbdev driver help? | 04:08 |
| === Rudemeister is now known as Guest21765 | ||
| Flannel | djmaster: Go to Sftware Sources, the Updates tab, and change it to "Normal Releases" (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades ) | 04:09 |
| djmaster | Flannel, thank you i found it | 04:10 |
| noisewaterphd | airtronix: I don't know then, never had an issue. I'd get on the pidgin forums and see if anyone knows anything | 04:11 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, what happens if you type glxinfo | 04:12 |
| Ericthegreat | 1sec | 04:15 |
| nexace | Flannel: perhaps you can help with this issue as well. I am attempting to setup apache2 using VirtualHost. i've used a2ensite to create the symbolic link, but when doing /etc/init.d/apache2 reload i get this error every time: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 50.56.30.223 for ServerName | 04:15 |
| Ericthegreat | not currently installed | 04:15 |
| Ericthegreat | should I install it? | 04:15 |
| gskellig | yeah hold on | 04:16 |

| m0rphin | 3 | 04:16 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, apt-get install xbase-clients | 04:18 |
| Ericthegreat | heres glxinfo | 04:18 |
| Ericthegreat | http://pastebin.com/hfRY5aSg | 04:18 |
| gskellig | can you run glxgears? | 04:18 |
| quiescens | nexace: you are probably missing a ServerName directive inside a <Virtualhost> section somewhere | 04:19 |
| gskellig | shoot, that glxinfo is way more complicated than mine was =/ i can't interpret that | 04:19 |
| gskellig | there may be some hints in there though | 04:19 |
| nexace | Flannel: that was successful at eliminating the error. however, I still cannot connect to the server using the virtual host | 04:19 |
| Ericthegreat | you fix yours gskellig? | 04:19 |
| nexace | Flannel: does the reverse resolution of the IP effect it? | 04:19 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, i did indeed. | 04:20 |
| Ericthegreat | lol ok gears are running | 04:20 |
| Flannel | nexace: No, that error doesn't affect behavior at all | 04:20 |
| Ericthegreat | nice | 04:20 |
| Flannel | nexace: If you can't connect, it's something else. | 04:20 |
| gskellig | just wanted to see if it would run or give you errors Ericthegreat thats all | 04:20 |
| Flannel | nexace: Can you connect with the default virtualhost? | 04:20 |
| gskellig | i fully removed the nvidia drivers, then ran Xorg -reconfigure and used the new xorg.conf | 04:20 |
| Ericthegreat | you guys oo-oo = spammer | 04:21 |
| gskellig | your ATI drivers might be getting in the way | 04:21 |
| gskellig | whats your laptop? | 04:21 |
| Ericthegreat | pavillion dv7 | 04:21 |
| nexace | Flannel: yes default connection works fine, and connecting to localhost and the reverse dns hostname works fine | 04:21 |
| rww | Ericthegreat: hrm? | 04:21 |
| nexace | Flannel: only the virtualhost is not connecting | 04:22 |
| Flannel | nexace: Is it on a different port than 80? | 04:22 |
| Ericthegreat | I have done a complete reinstall since I installed drivers | 04:22 |
| nexace | Flannel: no same | 04:22 |
| Ericthegreat | so there are no more drivers since I never accepted install | 04:22 |
| Ericthegreat | what about useing envy to install my driver? | 04:22 |
| Flannel | nexace: If you disable the default one, do you get to it? or how are you differentiating the two? | 04:22 |
| Ericthegreat | would that work | 04:22 |
| crf | how can I stop a program under GDB if ctrl-c doesn't work? | 04:23 |
| gskellig | i dont have experience with envy | 04:23 |
| Ericthegreat | since I can install newest ati catalyst useing envy | 04:23 |
| Ericthegreat | I understand | 04:23 |
| rinkukokiri | need help mapping audio channels front-left,front-right,LFE | 04:23 |
| gskellig | your laptop has two graphics cards? or just one? | 04:23 |
| rinkukokiri | LFE won't map | 04:23 |
| Ericthegreat | 2 I think | 04:24 |
| gskellig | do you care which one you use? or do you want to use one in specific? | 04:24 |
| gskellig | because i wanted to fix my problem by using the on board graphics card to save battery | 04:24 |
| Ericthegreat | in ubuntu no I do not care | 04:24 |
| gskellig | hm | 04:24 |
| nexace | Flannel: well, that I am unsure of. I figured the client told the server which viritualhost it was attempting to get to. i have not tried to disable the default. my reserve dns is dev.onevo.com, so dev.onevo.com and onevo.com both connect to the default (neither are assigned VirtualHost). However, onevo.org, which has the same A Address in DNS to the same IP, does not connect at all | 04:24 |
| Ericthegreat | in windows yes | 04:24 |
| gskellig | can you pastebin sudo lshw -C video | 04:24 |
| Flannel | nexace: I'd disable the default and see what happens. | 04:24 |
| Ericthegreat | 1 sec | 04:25 |
| nexace | Flannel: disable by simply removing the symbolic link in sites-enabled? | 04:25 |
| Flannel | nexace: Aye, or a2dissite | 04:25 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone have experience enabling LFE on a 2.1 internal audio setup? | 04:26 |
| quiescens | nexace: for what its worth, onevo.org and onevo.com have different IPs | 04:26 |
| Ericthegreat | http://pastebin.com/vyUESwBW | 04:26 |
| nexace | quiescens: LOL | 04:27 |
| nexace | quiescens: thanks, obviously that would be it | 04:27 |
| RoosterJuice_ | anyone know the command to change to the previous directory in linux? | 04:27 |
| quiescens | nexace: but you're welcome to keep debugging apache if you want! | 04:27 |
| nexace | quiescens: lol | 04:27 |
| danny1 | can you convert rpm to deb easily | 04:27 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, see if you can somehow disable your ati graphics card. Google guides for your specific laptop. I have no idea how, I Found a modprobe module for my laptop. | 04:28 |
| gskellig | not necessarily your ATI one either, if you can disable your on board one that would work as well | 04:28 |
| gskellig | you clearly have two active graphics cards, and i think they're fighting for unity | 04:28 |
| Ericthegreat | would that also disable it in windows? | 04:28 |
| gskellig | no | 04:28 |
| RoosterJuice_ | how to you change to the previous directory in linux command line? | 04:28 |
| gskellig | as long as its not BIOS related | 04:28 |
| Ericthegreat | I undestand makes sence | 04:28 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, also see if you can forcibly remove the radeon drivers | 04:29 |
| rinkukokiri | need help with audio channel mapping | 04:29 |
| roothorick | how hard is it to jump from LTS to LTS? | 04:29 |
| gskellig | i dont know the package name, for nvidia it was sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current that completely FIXED my problem | 04:29 |
| Flannel | roothorick: It's as easy as doing any other version upgrade | 04:29 |
| gskellig | if there was some sort of apt-get remove radeon-drivers for you, that *could* fix your problem. | 04:29 |
| gskellig | I believe your two graphics cards and/or graphics drivers are fighting over unity somehow | 04:29 |
| === bluebaron is now known as bluebaron[6] | ||
| gskellig | but i'm not really qualified to go any further, sorry =/ | 04:29 |
| gskellig | i'm already sort of guessing based on how similar your problem is to mine | 04:30 |
| w30 | my libreOffice won't use the top panel for file, edit, etc. Is there a fix for this? | 04:30 |
| gskellig | you've tried logging out and back in with "ubuntu" session instead of "ubuntu classic" right Ericthegreat? I assume that was one of the first things you did, thats basically what everybody was telling me to do first when i had this problem | 04:30 |
| Ericthegreat | um >.> | 04:31 |
| Ericthegreat | log out? | 04:31 |
| Ericthegreat | ok | 04:31 |
| Newguy__ | Hi I just had a quick question, I'm new to ubuntu, and wanted to find out if there is anything I need to look out for on hardaware | 04:33 |
| w30 | RoosterJuice_, cd ../ | 04:33 |
| roothorick | Newguy__: desktop or laptop? | 04:33 |
| Ericthegreat | no I am in Ubuntu mode already | 04:34 |
| gskellig | damn | 04:34 |
| gskellig | thats what I thought | 04:34 |
| Ericthegreat | whats weird is | 04:34 |
| Newguy__ | I'm building an HTPC, and plan to run ubuntu and XBMC and didn't know if any motherboards/cpu's were notoriously good/problematic? | 04:34 |
| gskellig | thats as far as I can go, I'm sorry =\ | 04:34 |
| Ericthegreat | 1/5 times it will boot just fine with unity lol | 04:34 |
| Ericthegreat | its ok | 04:34 |
| gskellig | thats really weird | 04:34 |
| gskellig | youre right. | 04:34 |
| gskellig | Try reconfiguring your Xorg | 04:35 |
| gskellig | sudo Xorg -reconfigure | 04:35 |
| roothorick | Newguy__: you'll want a discrete nVIDIA GPU if you're gonna be doing anything HD. Nothing too fancy, a 210 will do. | 04:35 |
| Ericthegreat | another weird thing is I cannot ctrl alt f2 to terminal I get black screen or blinking cursor | 04:35 |
| roothorick | Newguy__: as for desktop motherboards, enthusiast boards tend to have a minor feature that doesn't work, but all the important pieces should go off without a hitch | 04:35 |
| gskellig | Ericthegreat, after you do that you have to copy the new xorg.conf and replace the old one, I've gotta go. Good luck! | 04:36 |
| Newguy__ | hmm okay, thanks, I've been reading that the new sandy bridge cpu/gpu's work pretty well, but I'm looking at a board that has a slot in case it's not enough | 04:36 |
| Ericthegreat | ok tyvm | 04:36 |
| gskellig | sorry I couldn't be more help | 04:37 |
| roothorick | Newguy__: and do yourself a favor, and wire it. Even discounting the countless teething issues with Linux, WiFi tends to have reception issues regardless due to being next to the "noisy" desktop | 04:37 |
| Newguy__ | yeah it'll be sitting next to my TV which is where my router/modem sits as well | 04:37 |
| roothorick | I had to drape cat5 across the floor :) | 04:37 |
| Newguy__ | it'll probably be running as my media server so wired is pretty necessary | 04:38 |
| Newguy__ | hahaha that's no fun | 04:38 |
| roothorick | I don't really mind, as messy as this house is, you don't even notice the cabling embedded in the carpet :) | 04:38 |
| Newguy__ | I assume RAM is not an issue, but I figured I shoudl ask around as well | 04:39 |
| rinkukokiri | OK so I got a sub on my laptop that works in windows but isn't working in linux... I would like it to work in linux | 04:39 |
| rinkukokiri | not working = alsamixer doesn't even see it | 04:39 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: any alsamixer options named "external amplifier" or similar? | 04:39 |
| rinkukokiri | nope | 04:39 |
| Newguy__ | haha sounds like my old college house, 3 TV's stacked on top of each other (none of them flat panel) and every video game system cable you could imagine going all over the place | 04:40 |
| Newguy__ | is there are reason you suggested Nvidia over ATI? | 04:40 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: spend some time playing with alsamixer, it might just be mislabeled or need something else on | 04:40 |
| rinkukokiri | i got master, pcm, mic spdif, spdif default pcm, spdif 1[off] beep f-mic | 04:40 |
| Newguy__ | I tend to like ATI better, but I don't know if that's a Linux thing or a personal preference thing | 04:40 |
| roothorick | Newguy__: nV is much more Linux-friendly. fglrx is a right mess and DRI radeon doesn't fully support video acceleration yet | 04:41 |
| rinkukokiri | roothorick, only master, pcm, mic beep and mic have volume sliders though | 04:41 |
| === Viliny_ is now known as Viliny | ||
| Newguy__ | alright well i'll keep that in mind, thanks for the quick answers | 04:42 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: hda-intel right? | 04:43 |
| rinkukokiri | yep | 04:43 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: try different values for the model= module arg | 04:43 |
| roothorick | one website suggested trying "ref" | 04:43 |
| rinkukokiri | i don't follow | 04:44 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel && sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel model=ref | 04:45 |
| roothorick | rinkukokiri: see if you have different mixer options then | 04:45 |

| lsv | hypatia: that can be fix with the ls -A option | 05:33 |
| Drucylia | well, that idea didn't work. SATA has no effect :/ | 05:33 |
| lsv | hypatia: I did something similar ls -A | grep ^\\. | 05:33 |

| lsv | hypatia: regex is 'regular expressions' right? | 05:35 |
| hypatia | lsv: yup! they are awesome. that's what grep uses | 05:35 |
| gul | is it possible to use EMERALD with unity without compiz because compiz is crashing......? | 05:35 |

| dyllan | Hi Gents, im getting this weird error when trying to install 1 or 2 packages and i cannot open my Software Center any longer it quite with the same error, any idas? | 06:21 |
| dyllan | dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoServer: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused | 06:21 |
| dyllan | If i try and check if the Dbus service is running it gives me the connection refused error, soming is wrong with dbus?? | 06:23 |
| nit-wit | dyllan, restart x and see if its fixed. | 06:25 |
| lsv | off to bed for me. Godd night people. Shall all your problems be resolved and you might gain widsom along the way. :) | 06:26 |
| dyllan | nit-wit, its a live server with 60 users :/ all are experiencing the same prob, so you think i should reboot? | 06:26 |
| nit-wit | dyllan, No I would think not, it helps to gve that sort of info.;) | 06:26 |
| dyllan | sorry :) been at it for a few hours | 06:27 |
| iceroot | dyllan: is dbus running? ps aux | grep dbus | 06:27 |
| iceroot | dyllan: if not, start dbus | 06:27 |
| dyllan | iceroot, yea dbus is running | 06:27 |
| iceroot | dyllan: use strace to check the status of dbus | 06:28 |
| iceroot | dyllan: any hints in /var/log/syslog? | 06:29 |
| dyllan | http://pastebin.com/K487YSXX | 06:29 |
| dyllan | thats the error when trying to start the software-center | 06:29 |
| iceroot | dyllan: use apt-get so you dont have to kill the system at the moment | 06:30 |
| iceroot | dyllan: also you have to use gkduso software-center instead of sudo | 06:30 |
| dyllan | yea good idea iceroot | 06:30 |

| === tum is now known as Guest72682 | ||
| dyllan | what a rookie error ! thanks iceroot | 06:31 |
| iceroot | dyllan: working with gksudo? | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Poi77: try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade | 06:32 |
| dyllan | iceroot, no its not, i see the admin/rights window try load then it dissapears and nothing happens | 06:33 |
| poi77 | ActionParsnip: Thanks what will that do | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Poi77: what's the output of: lsb_release -d | 06:33 |
| iceroot | dyllan: ok then there is maybe only the reboot option. there are 3 things which needs a reboot to start correctly. dbus, libc and the kernel | 06:34 |

| TrD | "sniffjoke is not running - fatal error - remove /tmp/nam by hand" | 06:35 |
| TrD | anyone have an idea please? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Poi77: thought so. There are no more updates or suppot for Jaunty | 06:35 |
| TrD | i removed the /nam directory | 06:35 |
| poi77 | ActionParsnip: Can I get archived deb;s | 06:35 |
| dyllan | thanks iceroot hopefully it comes back up! | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !eol | poi77 the OS will still function | 06:36 |

| poi77 | dyllan: sorry | 06:37 |
| poi77 | dyllan: What are you saying | 06:37 |
| dyllan | poi77, that although u need to reboot linux from time to time its not as often as a MS machine. | 06:37 |
| dyllan | iceroot, yea :/ i guess, just holding thumbs that it comes back up | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceroot: not with that app which slipstreams the updates in. I forget the name | 06:38 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: ksplice | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | That's it | 06:38 |
| poi77 | dyllan: which server are you referring to? Is it something I posted | 06:39 |
| * ActionParsnip reboots monthly | 06:40 | |

| Usagiakumu | Hello, I want to try Ubuntu without going through the hassle of formatting, Wubi, however, downloads the 64 bit version without giving me the option of not using 64 | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceroot: true :) | 06:40 |
| TrD | anyone has trayed Sniffjoke please ? | 06:40 |
| Usagiakumu | how can I tell Wubi to use 32 bit version | 06:40 |
| poi77 | Where is 293 days coming from | 06:40 |
| Usagiakumu | does the 64 bit version still have problems with flash and wine and some drivers? | 06:41 |
| Usagiakumu | these are 3 really big deal killers for me which will force me to use the x86 version | 06:42 |
| saransh | hey | 06:42 |
| Usagiakumu | hey | 06:42 |
| saransh | wow I just wanted to try this out | 06:42 |
| Usagiakumu | this is a support channel please take all "trying out" to #ubuntu-offtopic please :) | 06:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Usagiakumu: download and md5 test the iso. Mount it with magicdisk and install that way. You'll get a better experience if you resize NTFS (windows7 can resize itself) and install to the free space in the regular way | 06:43 |
| red2kic | Usagiakumu: Use LiveCD if you're just trying out Ubuntu. | 06:43 |
| poi77 | Different question: I have a file with numbers only. What's the easiest way to get the sum | 06:44 |
| Usagiakumu | ActionParsnip, see I dont wanna deal with that just yet when my second drive gets here I will | 06:44 |
| Usagiakumu | I just wanted to muss with the new 11.04 before it does | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Usagiakumu: some drivers, possibly. There is 64bit flash and java. Wine will be the same | 06:44 |
| Usagiakumu | are you on x86 or x64? | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Usagiakumu: both | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Poi77: i'd ask in #bash too ;-) | 06:46 |
| Usagiakumu | I wish people would quit trying to push 64bit it died in 1986, why try to rebirth it? Some of you dont remember it but I do, the dwords were too long then and they are too long now, and you can in effect support all the ram in the world from x86 you just have to code for it | 06:47 |
| dyllan | iceroot, ok machine came back up, shew! SS is working, so far so good thanks ! | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Usagiakumu: 32bit + pae accesses 12gb ram max | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Usagiakumu: 64bit accesses 4Eb without any issues | 06:48 |
| Usagiakumu | I am not talking about pae, I am talking about true excedure map the memory the old way, 640k true, then the rest in "upper ram" you can support 4gig in the true then whatever else in the upper and the sky becomes the limit | 06:49 |
| Usagiakumu | if you use hex numeric page addresses you can literally support up to 8tb of ram | 06:50 |
| Usagiakumu | bits!=speed | 06:51 |
| quiescens | is excedure even a word | 06:51 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| Usagiakumu | sorry I dont know the english word for it | 06:52 |
| Usagiakumu | its a french word from the latin excedar, first-person singular future passive indicative of excēdō | 06:53 |
| Usagiakumu | however translated means to point to | 06:54 |
| quiescens | the older expanded memory spec or extended memory system? | 06:54 |
| trap24 | which is the coolest ubuntu guide for newbies ?? | 06:54 |
| quiescens | swapping pages of memory in and out of usable address space? | 06:54 |
| Usagiakumu | si | 06:55 |
| quiescens | rather than just directly accessing memory? | 06:55 |
| trap24 | which is the coolest ubuntu guide for newbies ?? | 06:55 |
| Usagiakumu | well in effect you are never directly accessing anything you are still going through the dbus | 06:55 |
| quiescens | dbus has nothing to do with memory management | 06:55 |
| Usagiakumu | the old swap trick, uses the dbus and therefore allows you to use all the ram you want | 06:56 |
| trap24 | which is the coolest ubuntu guide for newbies ?? | 06:56 |
| arand | !repeat | trap24 | 06:56 |
| ubottu | trap24: 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/ | 06:56 |
| Usagiakumu | actually it does DBus identifies interfaces with a simple namespaced string | 06:56 |
| quiescens | and you are accessing the memory directly, you ask the OS to access it, but you access the data where it is | 06:56 |
| trap24 | which is the coolest ubuntu guide for newbies ?? I want a link, file or pdf,.. anything will do | 06:57 |
| Usagiakumu | ive been programming since before most of you were probably born I know a few tricks | 06:57 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there , hindi font is not displaying in google chrome on ubuntu 9.10 , any idea how to fix it ? tried adding the language in language settings , firefox works fine | 06:58 |
| Usagiakumu | sure Drucylia | 06:58 |
| Drucylia | Tweaky's been awesome, but I'm stuck again >.< | 06:59 |
| Usagiakumu | sure whats up | 06:59 |
| Drucylia | trying to install from CD, original image is the standard I386 edition from the website. | 06:59 |
| been-here-all-su | Hello my part ion ubuntu part ion is full so i resized my windoze partion and created another 25gb ext4 partion how do i set ubuntu to install software on this new partion?.. | 06:59 |
| Drucylia | MD5 verifies, cd burned at 1x. won't boot, give "cannot find a medium that contains a live filesystem" | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Drucylia: did you MD5 test the ISO? | 07:00 |
| Drucylia | give me chance :P | 07:00 |
| Drucylia | yes, it verifies | 07:00 |
| Usagiakumu | sounds like you got a bad burner | 07:00 |
| Drucylia | there is only one optical drive in the system | 07:00 |
| Usagiakumu | right | 07:00 |
| Drucylia | burner is fine | 07:00 |
| Usagiakumu | do you have a USB drive? | 07:00 |
| Usagiakumu | like a thumbdrive | 07:00 |
| Drucylia | unfortunately not | 07:00 |
| Usagiakumu | right | 07:01 |
| Drucylia | VMware it installs from disc fine | 07:01 |
| GrimmVarg | hey guys, ive been having some problems changing my hostname. Could anyone point me in the right direction? | 07:01 |
| Drucylia | fedora and alinux have burned onto discs from the same spool, and work perfectly. its not the burner | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Drucylia: I'm on a GT540 phone with normal fingers. Makes me type slow :-). Sorry for jumping the gun | 07:01 |
| Drucylia | lol np | 07:01 |
| Usagiakumu | so im guessing BIOS is set to boot from CD first?, try going to the hardware boot menu the key is usually F12 and pick the CD drive directly | 07:01 |
| Usagiakumu | sometimes BIOSes can be sticky | 07:02 |
| Drucylia | it pick up the boot sequence fine | 07:02 |
| been-here-all-su | how do i set ubuntu to install all software to another partion? (my ubuntu partion is full) thanks | 07:02 |
| Drucylia | attempts, then fails half-way through | 07:02 |
| Usagiakumu | yes but its not processing the boot sectors upon boot | 07:02 |
| Usagiakumu | Drucylia, is this a prefab computer or one you built yourself? | 07:02 |
| Drucylia | if it wasn't processing the boot sectors, it wouldn't be giving me the ubuntu splash screen | 07:03 |
| quiescens | wow | 07:03 |
| quiescens | processing the boot sectors | 07:03 |
| pangaea | hello i was just wondering eactly what a keyring password is for | 07:03 |
| Usagiakumu | .........000000000OOOOOO I see | 07:03 |
| Drucylia | its custom. | 07:03 |
| Usagiakumu | whats the error? | 07:03 |
| quiescens | it is able to start booting the system but is unable to find the filesystem that contains the livecd data for some reason | 07:03 |
| Usagiakumu | and by chance is it SATA-1 type drives? | 07:03 |
| greenmang0 | silv3r_m00n, may be you want to use latest google-chrome | 07:04 |
| been-here-all-su | how do i set ubuntu to install all software to another partion? (my ubuntu partion is full) thanks | 07:04 |
| pangaea | just some examples | 07:04 |
| Drucylia | theres a known problem with dual optical drives in the forums, giving the same error. I've disabled sata, cos I'm not using it - but theres only 1 HDD and 1 optical drive, both IDE | 07:04 |
| quiescens | so the bios is able to boot, but the kernel isn't detecting the drive most likely | 07:04 |
| Usagiakumu | try setting the SATA drive to AHCI | 07:04 |
| ActionParsnip | GrimmVarg: open both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts for editting at the same time, change all the old hostnames to the new (very case sensitive). Save the new files and reboot | 07:04 |
| pangaea | and ill be out of your hair | 07:04 |
| Usagiakumu | both IDE ok | 07:04 |
| silv3r_m00n | greenmang0: it's the latest , I upgraded | 07:04 |
| iceroot | pangaea: keyring is a method to store your passwords (e.g. wifi, emphany and so on) with one single password | 07:05 |
| accel | I just updated /etc/hostname. How do I get the system to reflect the new value? | 07:05 |
| silv3r_m00n | greenmang0: the same google chrome shows hindi fonts on ubuntu 11.04 , but on 9.10 it doesn't | 07:05 |
| Drucylia | I figured I need to get to grips with ubuntu cos its what everyone is using. always used fedora/win dual boot before now | 07:05 |
| Usagiakumu | may I pm you to stop the constant scroll | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | been-here-all-su: did you try clawing back space by removing old unused kernels? | 07:05 |
| iceroot | pangaea: also keyring can used for pgp-keys and so on. if the system needs access to them, you will be asked for your keyring password | 07:05 |
| iceroot | !hostname | accel | 07:06 |
| ubottu | accel: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 07:06 |
| greenmang0 | silv3r_m00n, i am not sure if this is the solution of your problem ... try installing ttf-devanagari-fonts | 07:06 |
| Drucylia | sure | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Drucylia: not everyone uses it | 07:06 |
| iceroot | been-here-all-su: not possible to install packages to other locations | 07:07 |
| pylix | will rm - r dir delete the dir also? | 07:07 |
| iceroot | pylix: yes | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Pylix: yes | 07:07 |
| iceroot | pylix: but its rm -r without space between - and r | 07:07 |
| pylix | ok | 07:07 |
| silv3r_m00n | greenmang0: those are already installed | 07:07 |
| pylix | so if i want to just delete all the items in a directory do i need a loop? | 07:08 |
| iceroot | pylix: rm -r dir/* | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | been-here-all-su: i'd also grab bleachbit and close as many apps as possible. Frees a tonne of space | 07:08 |
| iceroot | pylix: -r is the loop | 07:08 |
| been-here-all-su | ok | 07:09 |
| quiescens | technically "rm -r dir/*" won't remove the directory itself, or any .files in the directory whereas "rm -r dir" will | 07:10 |
| iceroot | quiescens: hm, * should match .file also i think | 07:11 |
| iceroot | quiescens: ah ok its not matching it on bash, but on zsh | 07:12 |
| TrD | anyone can help me installing Sniffjoke please ? | 07:12 |
| quiescens | well, i suppose it could match on bash too, just not in the default environment | 07:12 |
| been-here-all-su | bleach bit saved me 1.3mbs of space not really as much as i wonted i guess i can just reinstall ubuntu on the othere partion o have not really got much installed on this partion anyway | 07:12 |
| iceroot | quiescens: yes i think with extglob it can work | 07:13 |
| tomek__ | who knows how to defragment ntfs volume under linux? | 07:13 |
| noiesmo | TrD, have you tried http://turbolinux.org/2011/05/sniffjoke-howto-tutorial/ | 07:14 |
| TrD | yes noiesmo | 07:14 |
| TrD | i have an error message | 07:14 |
| pangaea | iceroot: thanks | 07:14 |
| noiesmo | TrD, ok, I guess thats a given my bad | 07:15 |
| TrD | "sniffjoke is not running - fatal error - remove /tmp/nam by hand" | 07:15 |
| greenmang0 | silv3r_m00n, what's the latest version of chrome you are using? | 07:15 |
| silv3r_m00n | 12.0.72 | 07:15 |
| TrD | i removed that folder noiesmo , no luck | 07:15 |

| greenmang0 | silv3r_m00n, strange | 07:17 |
| silv3r_m00n | greenmang0: on another system with 10.04 chome 11 displayed hindi fine , but the moment it was upgraded to 12 , it failed | 07:19 |

| greenmang0 | silv3r_m00n, hmm ... | 07:20 |
| Edisto | what directory is the applications folder under? | 07:20 |
| EastDallas | zagrev: I'm not specifically familiar with the issue, but using ndiswrapper can improve a lot of wifi issues. | 07:20 |
| pylix | EastDallas: it's the only way i got my wireless to work after the natty upgrade | 07:20 |
| Pharaoh2 | also, I have a belkin powered usb hub, and it doesn't work on a USB 3.0 port, works fine on windows on usb 3, and on ubuntu on usb 2 (Ubuntu 11.04) | 07:20 |
| EastDallas | I've got 2 laptops running ubuntu, but neither one is running natty....sorry I can't help. | 07:21 |
| zagrev | ah, thats the only one that i havent tried myself so far, but the thread on ubuntuforums has many people using it and still facing the disconnects.... | 07:21 |
| EastDallas | zagrev: what's the only one you haven't tried? | 07:22 |
| tomek__ | is there an anplication for system cleaning and optimizing like norton 360 in win? | 07:22 |
| zagrev | the ndiswrapper method | 07:23 |
| OY1R | tomek__, bleachbit | 07:23 |

| OY1R | Edisto, terminal locate app | 07:25 |
| EastDallas | zagrev: you've got to install the ndiswrapper. the gtk package in software center is Ndisgtk. | 07:25 |
| tripelb | and, next, I just got a wireless router (Netgear g) and I made open and so do I need to protect MY computer from hacker entrance? | 07:25 |

| Bert- | I have an HTML signature file. This file uses some styles. When I try to insert the HTML file into evolution, style are losts. Signature is OK if I browse it with firefox. A way to make Evolution parse correctly my HTML file please ? | 07:25 |
| EastDallas | zagrev: if it doesn't help, you can always go back to what you have now by removing it | 07:25 |
| YankDownUnder | Bert-, I'd honestly recommend you look at: http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/ | 07:26 |
| brylie | Edisto, this article may help a bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard#Directory_structure | 07:27 |
| tripelb | YankDownUnder, tripelb goes to look at that link too. | 07:27 |
| zagrev | hmm..was going with the wisdom of the crowd :) but i'll try it myself too, couldn't hurt...soon as i get this download finished | 07:27 |
| Bert- | YankDownUnder, ok thx | 07:27 |
| brylie | GNU/Linux doesn't necessarily have a 'Program Files' directory. | 07:27 |
| OY1R | word | 07:28 |
| quiescens | i wasn't aware we had an "Applications" folder | 07:28 |
| Edisto | thanks just trying to find where the chrome folder and firefox are stored or some of these apps i'm installing | 07:28 |
| YankDownUnder | The term "program files" was used originally as a descriptor for what we'd know as /usr and /usr/local => and that came from IBM's OS/2 | 07:28 |
| Diverdude | How can i share a folder in /var/www so that it is accessible via FTP and may be edited remotely? | 07:28 |
| mfaroukg1 | is there a flash problem with web browsers ? in the facebook for example? | 07:28 |
| quiescens | Edisto: if you want to list the files belonging to an installed package you can use, for example: dpkg -L firefox | 07:29 |
| brylie | Edisto, you can see all of the files for a particular application in Synaptic. Are you familiar with Synaptic? | 07:29 |
| Pharaoh2 | Diverdude, you will need a ftp/http server running on your machine | 07:29 |
| Diverdude | Pharaoh2, i have apache 2 installed | 07:30 |

| riktking_ | fredhami: can u run it from a USB stick or CD? | 07:46 |
| riktking_ | kLownish: i find that tightVNC is pretty useful | 07:46 |

| kLownish | the vnc server works, but I was just picking up a terminal window, not an X display | 07:47 |

| _sara-- | tack så mycket | 07:48 |

| llutz | tripelb: can't your router configure a 2nd, open wifi-network, separated from your LAN (which you should wpa2-protect)? | 08:08 |
| tripelb | brylie, noisewaterphd I've been reading about iptables and I'm not sure what this is. My gui is gnome or do you mean something else. You need to get this idea. I am very smart but that means if "something is left out that connects the ideas" I can be dumb as a rock. (the good part is I dont break things. not counting that Thermostat housing I messed up once on a car) | 08:08 |

| brylie | tripelb, Open Mesh routers have dual SSIDs so that you can have an open, bandwidth throttled, network as well as an encrypted wireless network at the same time. http://open-mesh.com | 08:10 |
| tripelb | llutz, I just dont understand enough to parse whether I can, how one could, what that means, I dont know really what a lan is and I could have a password separate from my account password or my wireless password. My wireless is open. | 08:10 |

| ikonia | trijntje_quassel: and you can't alt+tab to it ? | 08:12 |
| noisewaterphd | tripelb: just remember, secure your wireless immediately, and get at least a simple firewall set up on your machine using iptables and firestarter | 08:13 |
| trijntje_quassel | ikonia: no, its like rhythmbox in karmic, the program can 'hide' in the notifcation/system tray area | 08:13 |

| Edisto | is there a big difference in speed running pure ubuntu versus windows installed one? | 08:23 |
| trijntje_quassel | Kroplex: that makes it really dangerous to install ubuntu or change your partitions. If something goes wrong you will lose everything | 08:23 |
| trijntje_quassel | Kroplex: if its less then 2GB you could store it in the ubuntu cloud: ubuntu one | 08:23 |
| tripelb | brylie, if you are still here hehe. If peer to peer means what I think then perhaps I can set up a way for others to break through the "threshold barrier" between ignorance and being able to play -- sometimes there are basics that are hard to get. a midddle ground say on Ubuntu between how to use and how to think about it.

| B9 | I just have a question about Python scripts. I have written a few simple Python scripts in the Bash Terminal by activating Python 2.7.1+ . If I write a Python script in Kate and save the text file with the file extension .py and make it executable, how do I then execute or run it in the Bash Terminal the Unix Shell emulator? I tried the same way I have made compiled Pascal files execute in Terminal previously but it doesn't work, that is with "./< | 09:47 |
| B9 | <INSERT FILE NAME>>" I would really appreciate some assistance. | 09:47 |
| oCean | B9: maybe try #python channel? This is ubuntu support | 09:47 |
| cmoman | Pirsch: so you are using the medibuntu derive ffmpeg library - now what happen when you type the ffmpeg -i <name or your file> | 09:48 |
| shockrates | hey | 09:49 |
| shockrates | how can i find out what architecture my system is? | 09:49 |
| cmoman | B9: python <name of script> | 09:49 |
| th^^ | shockrates: uname -a | 09:50 |
| Evanescence | N8Wulf: you can use ffmpeg to creat thumnails , you can google those similar command lines | 09:50 |
| shockrates | th^^: isnt there a way with flags? | 09:50 |
| oCean | shockrates: uname -m | 09:50 |
| shockrates | oCean: says x86_64 | 09:51 |
| shockrates | oCean: is there a chance it is amd64 ? | 09:51 |
| oCean | shockrates: in that case your OS is amd64 | 09:51 |
| cmoman | BP: if you want to use ./ you need to paste #!/usr/bin/python on the first line of your python script | 09:51 |

| shockrates | oCean: so there must be a difference | 09:52 |
| Pirsch | cmoman: I get "no such file or directory. The name of the file is 'Biology Of dads.avi'. It's on the Desktop. I wrote the command as 'ffmpeg -i Biology Of dads.avi'. Keep in mind, I'm a noob. :) | 09:52 |
| Pirsch | cmoman: do I need to first cd to desktop? | 09:53 |
| oCean | shockrates: no, the naming convention is i386 and amd64, or ia64 which is for Itanium 64 bit | 09:53 |
| B9 | cmoman: thanx for ur time & advice. I tried that... I also had that hashtag comment as the first line in my script as well but it doesn't work... i was trying to do the "Hello World" via a text document rather than directly in Python app in Bash | 09:54 |
| cmoman | Pirsch: you're not escaping the spaces in the file name. so cd to the Desktop and use <tab> to autocomplete the file name | 09:54 |
| sunil | I want to simulate packet flooding on the demo server. anyone having any idea on this. I am using ubuntu | 09:54 |
| avernos | is it possible to make a startup disk with different distros? any howto or wiki ? | 09:54 |
| Pirsch | cmoman: that worked. Nice trick | 09:55 |

| brylie | Diverdude, use the find command. | 09:56 |

| Diverdude | no i need to search inside the files | 09:56 |
| Diverdude | not the filenames | 09:57 |
| brylie | grep then | 09:57 |
| Diverdude | yes i thought : grep adodb_getall | 09:57 |

| osmosis_paul | any idea? | 11:55 |
| anirudhr | osmosis_paul: You want to recover the old passwords? | 11:55 |
| osmosis_paul | yes or at least look what is the new one | 11:56 |
| anirudhr | /etc/passwd won't have the passwords and /etc/shadow will have the hashed passwords. | 11:56 |
| Zeu5 | hi there | 11:56 |
| Zeu5 | i just updated my ubuntu and suddenly i cannot reload or restart my apache 2 | 11:57 |
| Zeu5 | please advise | 11:57 |
| ikonia | how are you trying to restart it | 11:57 |
| anirudhr | osmosis_paul: You can perform a dictionary attack on the hashed passwords, if you know what encryption scheme was used. That is your only option for getting the old passwords. | 11:57 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: service apache2 reload | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: restart is the command | 11:57 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: service apache2 restart | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: what happens when you try | 11:57 |
| Zeu5 | both gave me error mesages | 11:57 |
| Zeu5 | let me bin it | 11:57 |
| osmosis_paul | anirudhr, already get it thanks | 11:58 |
| Zeu5 | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/9GAzyTPk | 11:58 |
| anirudhr | osmosis_paul: So, trying to hack the government? ;) | 11:59 |
| anirudhr | Zeu5: Did you sudo? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | Zeu5: ok, the problem is that a.) the logs can't be opened (probably permissions) b.) and your network doesn't appear to be setup in line for apache | 11:59 |
| osmosis_paul | anirudhr, they hack me yesterday the server :_( | 11:59 |
| Zeu5 | anirudhr: you are right. i forgot to sudo. silly me | 11:59 |
| anirudhr | Zeu5: Happens, mate. :D | 12:00 |
| Zeu5 | anirudhr: i have 1 folder i use symbolic link and i keep getting You don't have permission to access / on this server. even though i have set the permissions to 755 | 12:00 |
| Zeu5 | the other folders that i use symbolic link all can be accessed via http://localhost/ | 12:01 |
| Zeu5 | thanks ikonia | 12:01 |
| anirudhr | Zeu5: Rather than symlinks, use mount --bind and try. | 12:02 |
| anirudhr | Apache2 does not follow symlinks, AFAIK. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | you have to change a directive for apache to follow symlinks | 12:02 |
| Zeu5 | sorry anirudhr what is mount --bind ? | 12:02 |
| anirudhr | Zeu5: Are you familiar with the mount command? You can use the "--bind" option to mount one location in another. Let's say /etc/foo contains baz that you want elsewhere too. You mkdir /foobaz and then "sudo mount --bind /etc/foo /foobaz", and then you can access the baz from both locations. | 12:04 |
| Zeu5 | the command seems similar to ln -s | 12:05 |
| Zeu5 | i give it a try | 12:05 |
| anirudhr | Zeu5: ln makes hard links. apache2 will not follow it. | 12:06 |

| BajK | dr_Willis: never encountered problems with intel and linux. and their drivers are just working. no mess because of no kernel mode setting support and stuff | 12:40 |
| mro3613 | BajK: you never tried running Xorg on the poulsbo chipset, did you? :) | 12:40 |
| BajK | but also I dont understand why in grub's entry theres "gfx_linux_payload=$linuxpayload" and not "text" as I have set it | 12:41 |
| BajK | it's time that X gets burnt down anyway | 12:41 |
| RevSpecies116 | amikrop: you mean you double right click on your desktop and the second right click presses the top option? | 12:41 |
| BajK | Why doesnt windows have an X server? :D | 12:41 |
| BajK | That prehistoric thing would PERFECTLY fit into the prehistoric windows itself :) | 12:41 |
| dr_Willis | ive seen several people with issues with some of the chipsets intel has/had in the past. i dont recall the chipset | 12:41 |
| mro3613 | BajK: well the poulsbo is not a Xorg only problem. there simply is no fully working driver for it. | 12:41 |
| BajK | X sucks anyway :) | 12:42 |
| dr_Willis | xming is an xserver for windows | 12:42 |
| amikrop | RevSpecies116: Or, single right click but for some reason it selects the top option (maybe mouse sensitivity problem?) | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | BajK: in a year or two, X will be replaced by Wayland :) | 12:42 |
| BajK | hopefully | 12:42 |
| amikrop | RevSpecies116: so, a solution would be to set right click *not* to be able to *select* any menu option | 12:43 |
| BajK | but so I will just live with the fact that my notebook wont start up properly for trhe next 4 months^^ | 12:43 |

| hemika | Hello, can anyone please help me with installation of lamp server, i have already installed tasksel but whenever i write " sudo tasksel install lamp-server" i get an error as "tasksel:aptitude failed(100) | 13:23 |
| ikonia | !lamp | hemika | 13:23 |
| ubottu | hemika: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 13:23 |
| hemika | ikonia, i even tried to update using sudo apt-get update but still i ain't able to install it | 13:25 |
| ikonia | hemika: did you read the instructions on that page | 13:25 |
| RevSpecies116 | hemika: you have installed Apache? And MySQL? | 13:26 |
| thrillERboy | hemika: https://gist.github.com/825672 Try these steps, this is how I install LAMP on Ubuntu | 13:26 |
| thrillERboy | Do the second line like "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" only without quotes | 13:26 |
| hemika | RevSpecies116, wouldn't installing LAMP SERVER directly install APache and MySQL in a way ? | 13:27 |
| thrillERboy | this is to restart, apache after every install hope that helps hemika | 13:27 |
| ikonia | hemika: did you read the instructions on that page | 13:27 |
| linuxnewb | how do i output a list of the top 10 biggest files in a directory (terminal) ? | 13:27 |

| pankaj_sharma | u can install them separately aswell | 13:27 |
| linuxnewb | ikonia thank you | 13:27 |
| thrillERboy | hemika: I think theres not Wamp or Mamp like package for linux, but you can install everything seperately though, its very easy. | 13:28 |
| BajK | how can I find out the installed Gstreamer version? | 13:28 |
| hemika | thrillERboy, i thought LAMP is similar to Wamp, isn't it? | 13:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | Nope, hemika :) Got to do a few more steps legwork | 13:28 |
| ikonia | hemika: have you read the instructions on the page ubottu gave you | 13:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | But the legwork is merely finger walking on your keyboard | 13:29 |

| BajK | okay, just looked it up in the repositorie s:) :D | 13:30 |
| ikonia | hemika: ok - so what's not working | 13:30 |
| bazhang | !xampp | 13:30 |
| ubottu | We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 13:30 |
| RevSpecies116 | and Gstreamer dependencies is holding it up | 13:30 |
| hemika | thrillERboy, so basically installing all the three components separately is same as installing LAMP Server? | 13:30 |
| iceroot | hemika: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server | 13:31 |
| thrillERboy | hemika: Absolutely, yes | 13:31 |
| hemika | ikonia, whenever i type the command sudo tasksel install lamp-server i get the error as tasksel:aptitude failed(100) | 13:31 |
| thrillERboy | hemika: https://gist.github.com/825672 << just copy paste these commands, you'll get LAMP installed in notime | 13:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | hemika: Are you joking? | 13:31 |
| hemika | RevSpecies116, joking about what? | 13:32 |
| thrillERboy | hemika: are you connected to Internet? :D | 13:32 |
| ikonia | hemika: that page also gives you instructions on how to install each component | 13:32 |
| ikonia | hemika: so I ask again, have you READ the document | 13:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | you have repeated that 'problem' several times, but you have not answered the question of 'have you followed the instructions ubottu gave you' | 13:32 |

| root_ | hi | 14:20 |
| root_ | is it possible to use irssi over tor network? | 14:20 |
| chocomingo | sorry phone | 14:20 |
| chocomingo | um, i read on the ubuntu help site that maverick doesnt have support for the trackpad on the latest mac pros | 14:21 |
| chocomingo | does this mean that the trackpad isnt supported across all os'es for the new mac pros or that only maverick does not support it | 14:21 |
| root_ | test | 14:24 |
| root_ | LOL! | 14:24 |

| chocomingo | yes i do | 14:25 |
| chocomingo | the 13 inch one | 14:25 |
| chocomingo | 2011 | 14:25 |
| RevSpecies116 | And do you have access to fast internet, chocomingo | 14:26 |
| chocomingo | yes i do. | 14:26 |
| Cypher | Hi, can someone help me out with something? | 14:26 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies, chocomingo, instead of listening/seeing words on forums that could be wrong, I recommend you download and burn that Maverick version of Ubuntu and test it out directly :) | 14:26 |
| bazhang | Cypher, ask all on one line | 14:27 |
| chocomingo | hmm | 14:27 |
| chocomingo | as in run the os from the disk? | 14:27 |
| Cypher | Is there a way to install ubuntu on EEPROM | 14:27 |
| bazhang | Cypher, no | 14:27 |
| Cypher | or another small debian variant | 14:27 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep - not need to install it, chocomingo - it is a LiveCD | 14:27 |
| chocomingo | okay thank you | 14:27 |
| chocomingo | :) | 14:27 |
| bazhang | Cypher, #debian | 14:27 |
| Cypher | roger | 14:27 |
| Cypher | Thanks | 14:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | And then, chocomingo, if it DOES work, register in all the places that claim it doesn't work and tell them they are incorrect ;) | 14:28 |
| chocomingo | hahaha, I would get banned, xD | 14:28 |
| chocomingo | i like the mac hardware but the os is restrictive to say the least, =/ | 14:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | :) | 14:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | Just to let you know, though, the latest ubuntu release is Natty (one up from Maverick], and it still has the old Ubuntu feel [if Unity was not your thing] | 14:29 |
| markss | Could anyone help with me fixing this wireless problem I'm have. The connect button is un-clickable even after I've entered the WPA key | 14:29 |
| chocomingo | hmm, I will look at them all, :) will dual boot probably | 14:29 |
| chocomingo | thanks for the help RevSpecies116 | 14:30 |
| RevSpecies116 | Dual boot is safe, too - Ubuntu will detect that, and guide you through if you choose to install after checking the LiveCD | 14:30 |
| guyvdb_ | Hi, when ubuntu boots, upstart starts various services. I can stop a service via "service <name> stop" how can I administer if it should be started on boot? | 14:30 |
| chocomingo | :) | 14:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | chocomingo: Just for your records, the LiveCD's can be downloaded from www.ubuntu.com | 14:31 |
| chocomingo | thank you! | 14:31 |

| Dexter | quiescens, I dont know, but should that command list those not found files and denied permissions? | 14:42 |
| linusoleander | I can copy a file between two directories, even thou I own the directory | 14:42 |
| Pici | Dexter: /proc is a special filesystem, it contains an interface to the kernel itself, they don't represent files on your drive. | 14:42 |
| linusoleander | Anyone know why this is? | 14:43 |

| quiescens | Dexter: .gvfs is a fuse based directory and probably shouldn't be played with while logged on with the user in question, you are using find with -exec, and it is probably trying to access the files that detail the proccesses that find itself is creating and then quickly destroying in /proc, as pici said you really shouldn't play with permissions in /proc | 14:44 |
| linusoleander | That doesn't make any sens at all | 14:44 |

| malgorath | I just installed ubuntu on a new hard drive with my windows 7 install. But there is no menu to boot between them as I had to do custom partition, is there a page on how to fix this so I can boot windows still for games since wine can't get decent fps yet | 14:54 |
| thomas001 | hello, i am currently upgrading my father's laptop to 11.04. i miss the application menu, where you just select "office > OpenOffice Writer"...is it hidden somewhere or how are you supposed to find the writer now? | 14:54 |
| Pici | thomas001: If you prefer the old interface, you can select Classic Ubuntu from the login menu. | 14:55 |
| edbian | malgorath: There should be a menu. Can you boot Ubuntu and run sudo fdisk -l? (I am nervous you erased windows) | 14:55 |
| Pici | !classic | thomas001 | 14:55 |
| ubottu | thomas001: 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. | 14:55 |
| thomas001 | thanks | 14:55 |

| hobeii | oCean: so the only way would be to install 32bit version of Ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| Malgorath | edbian, the 100m partition in windows is not the /boot for windows, without it there is no way to boot windows and I found a site that talks about your instructions but there is some partition stuff that has to be rebuilt first it says(M$ website) | 15:33 |
| Malgorath | edbian, er is now the /boot for windows | 15:33 |
| syockit | How is ~/.xinitrc handled in ubuntu? is it omitted in favor of /etc/X11/Xsession? | 15:34 |
| edbian | Malgorath: Ahh, did you ever have a /boot partition or something? Where did it go if it was just a folder in windows? (this explains why grub doesn't find it) | 15:34 |

| Malgorath | edbian, if I figure this out I think I might post something about it somewhere as I can see this being a more common problem | 15:42 |
| phox_ | Shouldn't the command "unrar *.rar" unrar any archive in the folder I'm in? | 15:43 |
| Jcook_5xData | sunil, what kind of traffic web port 80 , sip? | 15:43 |
| edbian | Malgorath: sure. I'm more interested in what caused windows 7 to go from bootable to unbootable | 15:43 |
| Snicers-Work2 | Jcook_5xData, is there a risk that they will be unable to restart? | 15:43 |
| Pici | phox_: I remeber someone here saying recently that it doesn't do globbing for some reason. | 15:43 |
| sunil | Jcook_5xData: any type of traffic, | 15:43 |
| phox_ | Pici: ok, so how do I solve it? | 15:43 |
| Jcook_5xData | Snicers-Work2, I very had a problem both on service and desktop. Not there is always that chance. | 15:44 |
| Pici | phox_: Something like; find . -maxdepth 1 -iname "*.rar" -exec unrar {} \; | 15:44 |
| sunil | Jcook_5xData: I want to simulate it on my server. | 15:44 |
| sunil | Jcook_5xData: even if its is syn flood, that also gonna work, but it should be about 400MB/s | 15:45 |
| Jcook_5xData | sunil, just use ping then ping -packetsize 100 10.5.0.0 | 15:46 |
| phox_ | Pici: that just listed all of the options.. | 15:46 |
| klingelbart | is there anyone? | 15:47 |
| sunil | Jcook_5xData: I said 400MB/s, ping cannot produce so much data at this rate. | 15:47 |
| Pici | phox_: sorry, I missed the argument for unraring something. Its unrar x {] I think. | 15:47 |
| phox_ | Pici: ok, so "find . -maxdepth 1 -iname "*.rar" -exec unrar x {} \;"? Do I need the " in front of *.rar? | 15:48 |
| Pici | phox_: yes. | 15:48 |
| Jcook_5xData | sunil, http://sourceforge.net/projects/pfgen/ | 15:49 |
| Pici | sunil: Depending on what you want to test, something like siege, netperf or dbench would likely be appropriate. | 15:49 |
| Pici | sunil: I got all of those from apt-cache search benchmarkk | 15:50 |

| szal | KM0201: are you sure 9.04 can still be upgraded to anything? 9.10 is also EOL, so I somewhat doubt that | 16:25 |
| KM0201 | szal: of course i'm sure. | 16:25 |
| Palzieri | But now it requires to have libraries written in my /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | szal: did you read the link?... there's ways to upgrade EOL releases, | 16:26 |
| schnuffle | FernandoTertiary: normally it asks you if you want to upgrade the packages and you can accept with yes | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | Palzieri: yeah..? | 16:26 |
| schnuffle | FernandoTertiary: can you paste the output | 16:26 |
| Palzieri | yes | 16:26 |
| KM0201 | Palzieri: why is adding sources an issue, thats the only way you're gonna complete an upgrade in this situation,. | 16:26 |
| FernandoTertiary | schnuffle: yes, then it stops with a /tmp location, then suggests "end" then posteri pressing "s" it reads "log file: " | 16:27 |
| Palzieri | but now is it enough if I add the links to my sources.list file?? | 16:27 |

| Magentium | Currently i am using Ubuntu Ultimate 2.9 which is based off of 10.10 | 17:55 |

| akashm1990 | sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst file doesnt exist | 17:56 |
| Magentium | Retail 10.10 install, is there any way to change the Menu for that ? | 17:56 |
| akashm1990 | *want to change the order of boot | 17:56 |
| akashm1990 | make windows default | 17:57 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: you need to edit /etc/default/grub | 17:57 |
| Devio | hello! I've got a really annoying problem which has been escalating recently. Every so often if I press ctrl(more recently it just does it randomly) I get locked out of any drop down menus including right click, my type cursor acts as if whatever I try type in isn't selected and I cant move any windows around.(sorry for the mass text) | 17:57 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: there is a variable GRUB_DEFAULT, you set it to the name of the entry you want default | 17:58 |
| Magentium | Is there a Gnome Channel ? | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: then run 'sudo update-grub', which updates the actual grub configuration | 17:58 |
| coz_ | Magentium, the main gnome channel I believe is on gimpnet under #gnome | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | Magentium: Gnome has its own network, gimpnet | 17:58 |
| tensorpudding | Magentium: i can't say it's very good, though you may get gnome help there | 17:59 |
| Magentium | I am simply looking for a Gnome Panel help but i cant find anything on google :( | 17:59 |
| Magentium | Or a replacement to the Gnome Menu Applet | 17:59 |
| coz_ | Magentium, there is a #gnome channel here on freenode but not sure how effective or responsive they are | 17:59 |
| akashm1990 | tensorpudding, so, I cannot move windows to the top of the list? since everytime there is a Ubuntu update, the serial no. of WIndows will change | 17:59 |
| tensorpudding | Magentium: what exactly is it you're looking for? | 17:59 |
| coz_ | Magentium, there are several optioins for gnome menu if you right click Add to panel | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: what do you mean, "the serial no." | 18:00 |
| coz_ | Magentium, unless y ou are on Unity that is | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: the name of the windows entry won't change, though its position may; if you specify it by name in the GRUB_DEFAULT variable, it will always choose the right one | 18:00 |
| TheeSaga | He's not on Unity | 18:00 |
| Magentium | I am just currently running Gnome 2, and i have the Custom Menu on my panel ( The one with Applications, Places, System) | 18:00 |

| StudyingHard | I've found that ubuntu 9.10 (i.e. karmic) is no longer going to have updates released. What are the implications if I don't update? How risky might this become and how long would it take to get risky from the last update? Also, what are the alternatives to not-updating? The only one that comes to mind is upgrading to ubuntu 10, but given that I use an old machine, that's probably going to make it even slower. Do I have another | 18:01 |
| Magentium | I am seeking help to make it that when one of those are clicked, instead of LISTING the programs in a vertical way, i wish to have the horizontal | 18:01 |
| coz_ | Devio, I havent experienced that ,, at least no yet | 18:01 |
| coz_ | Devio, is this 11.04 unity or classic? | 18:01 |
| Omega | Devio: I've never seen that problem before, you should try on the ubuntuforums, or look on launchpad to see if it's a known bug | 18:01 |
| Magentium | because i have a lot of programs installed for KDE, GDM, and XFCE, they are showing it too many at once | 18:01 |
| tensorpudding | akashm1990: the actual configuration that grub uses is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, you can read that file and look for what it calls the windows entry | 18:02 |
| n8wulf | Devio: sorry mate, that is the weirdest I've ever seen | 18:02 |

| Devio | omega: I've tried ubuntu forums, no one replied and I dont want to make another post. coz_: ubuntu 11.04 as of today but i updated to get away from the problem which started in 10.10 | 18:02 |
| Magentium | Dr_Willis, i only use the menu because i have no idea what apps are installed :P Is there any other sort of, application browser ? | 18:03 |
| n8wulf | Devio: you updated, yes? | 18:03 |
| tensorpudding | Devio: are you using classic? | 18:03 |

| Devio | n8wulf: yes tensorpudding: yes | 18:03 |
| Magentium | Dr_Willis, do you have any links or recommendations for the custom menu applets? | 18:03 |
| TheeSaga | Magentium: Avant Windows Manager is a Gnome-Panel Alternative that has a couple of different options for the style of menu's, one that's Unity-like. | 18:03 |

| n8wulf | yeah, awn is cool | 18:05 |
| tensorpudding | Devio: i fixed it by hitting super+d to minimize windows, then unminimizing them by hitting the key again | 18:05 |
| Devio | tensorpudding: like randomly now the cursor cant decide whether I'm allowed to type or not it's flashing on and off, proper strange | 18:05 |
| Magentium | n8wulf, Awn certainly is nice, i like your style | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | Devio: actually, your bug might be different than mine, since typing works fine | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | Devio: i just can't select other windows, or use the mouse at all | 18:06 |
| Devio | tensorpudding: in fairness that's the only problem i can deal with holding ctrl to move windows or access menus | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | Devio: i've had this bug since before natty released, i assume they'll manage to fix it sometime | 18:07 |
| n8wulf | Magentium: I switched to Unity Vanilla last week, you won't believe how many times my Mouse goes South lookin for my Awn | 18:07 |

The only one that comes to mind is upgrading to ubuntu 10, but given that I use an old machine, that's probably going to make it even slower. Do I have another | 18:07 |

| Magentium | n8wulf : i tried to use Natty Narwhal on this laptop but it lags VERY BADLY because of my ATI Card, another thing i am looking for help with | 18:08 |
| th^^ | StudyingHard: 10.04 isn't really much more demanding, quite the contracty actually | 18:08 |

| sofiankrt | hello | 18:09 |
| ndlovu | I've got a problem with rhythmbox not connecting to musicbrainz to identify CDs on lucid (rhythhmbox 0.12.8-0ubuntu7). seems it's a recognised problem (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+question/158253). Is it fixed in later versions of ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| Pici | GatoLoko: You could mention it in #launchpad | 18:09 |
| Magentium | n8wulf : Well really just Natty. I read up that there is a known problem where Compiz and Natty dont like it each other. Typing etc is fast, but moving windows and stuff is sluggish. With and without unity activated | 18:09 |
| n8wulf | Magentium: is funny it lags, I've got a Intel VGA and it's 100% | 18:09 |
| sofiankrt | I just installed Natty, got ccsm and enabled desktop cube. Everything crashed and now I can use neither Unity nor Compiz. Help! | 18:10 |
| nadim | Is there anything in a vanilla Lucid that blocks incoming port 80 connections (netstat notes that its listening) | 18:10 |
| === tristan_ is now known as Guest64261 | ||
| Magentium | n8wulf, yes, when i run it on my other laptop with a GMA 950 Chipset its fast, its a problem with ATI Drivers | 18:10 |
| Devio | gonna go have a mess about and try and fix this, thanks all! | 18:10 |
| n8wulf | nadim: there shouldn't be | 18:10 |
| Magentium | I found that Natty is slow with ATI, and doesnt like installing NVIDIA Drivers either | 18:11 |
| Guest64261 | connect irc.abjects.net | 18:11 |
| GatoLoko | Pici i think it's more ubuntu related than launchpad related, but ill try, thanks | 18:11 |
| nadim | n8wulf: what's the best way to debug this then - as noted I removed my router and am connected straight to the cable modem - ISP notes not blocking anything, what can I do next ? | 18:11 |

| Psydoll | can someone tell me what is a .ng file and how to install it? | 18:14 |
| nadim | n8wulf: been having a REALLY tough time with apache2 (on lucid) - I thought it was the router, so I removed it and am now connected straight into the cable modem, the ISP (cox) says they are not blocking ports but I can't seem to be able to access port 80 from the outside - localhost works just fine. Ideas ? | 18:14 |
| Magentium | it sounds like something has gotten corrupted, correct me if i am wrong, but have you tried accessing the Shell using CTRL+SHIFT+F1, and then doing a Sudo Apt-get autoclean, and sudo apt-get install -f | 18:14 |
| Magentium | I believe those are the commands to check installs and such but not sure | 18:14 |
| sofiankrt | Magentium: was that for me? | 18:14 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt, yes it was | 18:15 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt, sorry for not being specific, lots of windows opening at once for me currently :p | 18:15 |
| n8wulf | nadim: maybe a quick workaround would be to install No-IP? | 18:15 |
| n8wulf | nadim: are you trying to a Local Hosted webpage from Public? | 18:16 |
| nadim | n8wulf: No-IP as in no-ip.org ? Sorry not following... | 18:16 |
| sofiankrt | Magentium: it's okay :P I just ran both commands. I'm not sure what I should do next | 18:16 |
| n8wulf | nadim: no-ip.com | 18:16 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt, unfortunatley i have not had much experience with natty, or else i would give you more advice, when there are problems like the one you have had i find that those two commands i should use first | 18:16 |
| sofiankrt | Magentium: okay, I'm going to reboot and see if I still have the problem | 18:17 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt i will be online after :) | 18:17 |
| nadim | n8wulf: yeah, I installed apache2 and can see the "It works" from localhost (ie. 127.0.0.1) but if I try to access my IP_address from the outside (ie. the internet) I don't get through - ssh works fine, vnc works fine, if I look at the apache logs so access entry, etc - its simply not coming through from the looks of it | 18:17 |
| nadim | s/so/no | 18:18 |
| Magentium | Looking for help with Ubuntu natty being slow on ATI Hardware | 18:18 |
| nadim | n8wulf: it very much looks like its being blocked but where - the ISP says "not me", I removed the router (so its just the ISP's cable modem) and the lucid box - so what can I do further to debug this ? | 18:19 |
| n8wulf | nadim: I'm thinking... but it feels like I'm Sinking | 18:20 |
| cordoval_ | hi all of a sudden my wireless does not work and it says hardware switch disabled, see the light only orange now, what can I try? | 18:20 |
| cordoval_ | CLI commands anyone? | 18:20 |
| nadim | n8wulf: hehe | 18:20 |
| Magentium | cordoval_ firstly, is there a hardware key on your laptop to turn it on ? | 18:21 |
| nadim | n8wulf: ok, tried something else and that worked | 18:21 |
| cordoval_ | Magentium: yes and it is on position | 18:21 |
| cordoval_ | still does not work, before this would work | 18:21 |
| n8wulf | nadim: what did you try? | 18:21 |
| cordoval_ | I am on natty latest, this was working minutes ago | 18:21 |
| nadim | n8wulf: instead of 80 I modified apache2 to use 3389 (just for grins) and that works fine - I can see the "It works" | 18:21 |
| Magentium | cordoval_ can you please open a terminal and type lspci, and let me know if it recognises your card | 18:21 |
| nadim | n8wulf: so port 80 is definintly being blocked but where and how | 18:21 |
| sofiankrt | Magentium: nope, it doesn't work | 18:22 |
| n8wulf | Magentium: did you do the Hardware drivers Update? which version? | 18:22 |
| sofiankrt | I can make changes to CCSM but nothing works, not even Unity | 18:22 |
| n8wulf | nadim: cool man! | 18:22 |
| Magentium | n8wulf i installed Natty Narwhal, updated all packages instantly, did an image of my system. without drivers it lagged, tried both opensource and proprietory and they both lagged | 18:23 |

| ActionParsnip | nadim: ou do have a firewall, its just configured to allow all | 18:24 |
| Magentium | okay cordoval, it seems that its finding your card, but not initiallizing it. I would go to google first and see if there are any known bugs with your adapter | 18:24 |
| sofiankrt | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure. If you're asking me about my hardware, I think it supports it. If you're asking me if the drivers are enabled, I think they are. Is there any way to check? | 18:24 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt, correct me if i am wrong, but if port 80 was blocked, you wouldnt be able to get any incoming internet data ? or am i thinking of 8080 | 18:24 |
| cordoval_ | are you sure this is finding my card? because I think it has not | 18:25 |
| n8wulf | nadim: I should think not, no reason to be, lemme just remember quick, there is a site somewhere that allows u to test all open Ports on your IP | 18:25 |
| nadim | ActionParsnip: well yeah ipchains is there but there are no settings so effectively nothing there - any way to see what else might be blocking it ? | 18:25 |
| n8wulf | nadim: will get back to u just now | 18:25 |
| sofiankrt | Magentium: iirc, port 80 is for http, yes | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | nadim: netstat -a | less see what's going on | 18:25 |

| ActionParsnip | sofiankrt: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 18:25 |
| nadim | n8wulf: tried canyouseeme.com and it said that 80 is no visiable from outside (what else is new :-) the question is how best to debug this | 18:26 |

| cordoval_ | sorry internal | 18:26 |
| cordoval_ | sounds like it is there | 18:26 |
| Magentium | sofiantkrt the last time i had an issue with port 80 there was a program that was locking to it.... | 18:26 |

| KM0201 | cordoval_: your wireless is int hat list.. | 18:26 |
| cordoval_ | but the hardware switch is off | 18:26 |

| artzz | I got my new computer today and it has 8gb of ram. I suppose I should install linux 64-bit, but I also read somewhere that linux 32-bit may be able to handle that amount of ram. is this true? | 18:28 |
| sofiankrt | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/617685/ | 18:28 |
| n8wulf | Magentium: Kudos to you if you stick with all the Unity issues like me... | 18:28 |
| kleinerdrache | hi there | 18:28 |
| n8wulf | I'd like to see where Ubuntu is going with this | 18:28 |
| petrolman | Hi, is the zeitgeist-daemon an important process for Ubuntu? It always causes a zombie process. I tried to end the zombie with kill -CHLD pid, but no reaction. So I would like to end the father process | 18:28 |
| nadim | ActionParsnip: tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN | 18:28 |
| Magentium | artzz from what i know you can make any 32bit OS READ the 8GB, but not use it | 18:28 |
| artzz | oh ok | 18:28 |
| rww | artzz: 32-bit Linux with PAE enabled can do 8GB of RAM, but can only do up to 4GB per application. If your CPU supports 64-bit, I'd recommend 64-bit. | 18:28 |
| artzz | I meant use them | 18:28 |
| rww | !pae | 18:28 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 18:28 |
| artzz | ok | 18:29 |
| vkamble1 | @artzz - 32 bit cannot use 8 gig RAM | 18:29 |
| artzz | I see | 18:29 |
| n8wulf | k... I'm off to have a Brandy | 18:29 |
| rww | vkamble1: Yes, it can. See above. | 18:29 |
| Magentium | n8wulf, the idea of Unity is amazing, and it runs better then Windows or Mac substitutes, but of course its a new design and new shell, so i cannot expect it to be perfect. I will stick to it as much as possible | 18:29 |
| artzz | so I should install the 64-bit version then, I guess. | 18:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | artzz, see the !pae from ubottu | 18:29 |
| vkamble1 | +1 with rww | 18:29 |
| kleinerdrache | is it possible somehow to use a set of packages from oneiric in natty? best would be to set up a ppa for that set, but how can i get the oneiric sources without installing oneiric here? | 18:29 |

| maco | kleinerdrache: you can get the source packages from launchpad | 18:29 |
| cordoval | I found this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/155210 but it does not look like it | 18:29 |
| spvensko | sorry for the stupid question, but when printing in ubuntu, is there some options to make it so that you can fold the pages and form a book? i already have it printing two pages per side and two sided but i would like to basically change the ordering | 18:30 |
| cordoval | have you found anything? | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nadim: weird, usually gives the program etc | 18:30 |

| Dr_Willis | spvensko: ive seen tools that let you do that. but not used them in ages. | 18:30 |
| kleinerdrache | maco, thats a bit to much i think to many clicks, for that 20 packages | 18:30 |
| Magentium | ubottu thank you for that information, i dont believe windows can do that if i am correct, but i was unsure as to linux | 18:30 |
| ubottu | Magentium: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | spvensko: xprint perhaps? it was an old tool i used years ago | 18:30 |

| cordoval | do you need this output? sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | spvensko: it would be a 'cups' feature actually. ubuntu uses cups. like most every disrto out there. | 18:30 |
| cordoval | hold on I will get the output | 18:31 |
| maco | kleinerdrache: could also add the deb-src line for oneiric to your sources.list and use apt-get -t=oneiric source packagenames | 18:31 |
| rww | Magentium: Depends on your version of Windows. Microsoft limited that functionality depending on how much you pay them ;) | 18:31 |

| Magentium | rww i hate paying for anything, only ever paid for windows once, then i moved to linux :P | 18:31 |
| rcmaehl | solovoy: although it breaks minimization | 18:31 |
| Magentium | Has anyone else had a problem with the battery monitor only showing "Battery Time Estimating" | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | spvensko: i useed to do 2 pages per page all the time. Its possible the cups web interface may have addational options you could use. | 18:31 |

| Dr_Willis | ravkel: you will most likely need to reinstall grub. if you had a spare flash drive you could install g4rub to it.. so you can boot from it - get back to ubuntu, and rerun 'update-grub' | 18:46 |
| Magentium | rcmaehl thank you, if you cannot then it is okay, i value your support already :) | 18:46 |

| Trfsrfr | ActionParsnip, thanks! I think I figured it out. | 18:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Does the live cd have a 'reinstall grub' feature yet? I sware i saw that somewhere.. may have been some ubuntu variant. | 18:47 |

| alvinPH | please tell me how to install a third one | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: learn to restore grub in ubuntu, it should be able to handle the other disrtos via grub2. you may need to configure grub2 by hand to load wattos. (never heard of that one) | 18:50 |

| Kurlon | Just upgraded to Natty, I don't have 3d support so I'm still using the classic gnome shell. My window decorations match the selected theme, but anything else GTK driven (menu bar, status bar, terminal's colors, etc) have reverted to a gray/generic theme and don't respect changes from the appearance panel? | 18:52 |
| Magentium | Dr_Willis currently i believe it is an ext4 partition, i also have the same problem with ext3 and xfs file systems | 18:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Magentium: for linux fs's you can use the 'tune2fs' command. | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Magentium: lavels may not actually 'change' untill you reboot (well the system may keep using the old label) | 18:53 |
| alvinPH | :D, it's easy but I want a persistent one, persistence in live usb sometimes fails | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: not if you do a 'full' normal install to flash drive.. | 18:53 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: i install to them same as i would a internal hd. :) | 18:54 |
| Magentium | Dr_Willis looking a the tune2fs command i cannot see how to change the label, do you by chance know how or know a link that can help me ? | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | but you do need bigger flash drives.. 4gb+ 8+ even better | 18:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Magentium: tune2fs --help its -L or -l | 18:54 |
| alvinPH | I'm just using a usb creator for that way | 18:54 |
| Magentium | dr_Willis thank you i will check that now :) | 18:54 |
| alvinPH | i'm just using a 2gb stick :( | 18:55 |
| rcmaehl | Magentium: is upower installed? | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: i do a normal install via the installer to my flash drives. some times I do need to use 2 flash drives.. one with a 'usb live' setup and boot that to install to the 2nd flash drive. or youi can use a cd -> flash drive. | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | 16gb flash are getting afforadable. :) | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Tristam: what was the magic bullet? | 18:55 |
| Dr_Willis | I grabbed an old laptop and made a little 60gb usb-hard drve for testing also. | 18:55 |

| Dr_Willis | NCS_One: hmm. been ages since i messed with fonts. used to be a fontcach you would need to rebuild.. | 19:16 |
| FlintWestWood | i want mine to look like this http://newtech.aurum3.com/images/firefox_4_preview.png | 19:16 |
| alvinPH | Magentium: no, what i mean is that booting an iso via grub2 is like the principle of wubi. | 19:16 |
| trism | NCS_One: xterm -fa inconsolata-11; seems to work here, don't know if you can use a similar line in .Xresources | 19:17 |
| Magentium | alvinPH oh, my mistake :) I only read that line :P | 19:17 |
| butch1282 | I need to get a laptop that can run ubuntu properly in the next hour - is the live-cd a good indicator for comatability? i have 11.04 | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: not really.. wubi has the linux filesystem in a file.. but i hate wubi anyway. :) | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | butch1282: sure | 19:17 |
| Jordan_U | butch1282: Yes. | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | butch1282: you can do anything in the live OS except reboot | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: grub is just sort of faking a cdrom and passing the right options to the kernel. | 19:17 |
| rod95 | Actionn, alsamixer closes everytime I click in sound proprieties | 19:18 |
| Magentium | butch1282 i find that if it is a fairly common laptop (Dell, HP, Lenovo) it will run fine regardless, I do not take Live Disks seriously as when i boot a live disk on my Laptop sound and Touchpad works, but when i install it does not | 19:18 |
| butch1282 | thanks, second question - do you see any comatability issues with this laptop? its the cheapest i can find. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=357138&CatId=4938 | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | butch1282: allow time for the first set of updates, and so on. :) normally takes less then an hr here. | 19:18 |
| oCean | oal: I guess that means that is not currently mounted, but when you go through Places to that filesystem, it gets mounted under /media. The fact that updatedb does not do 'anything' means that is has nothing to update. As soon as you have mounted the 2nd filesystem, you should run the updatedb command | 19:18 |
| alvinPH | Dr_Willis: ah, therefore if I do the boot iso via grub is like a booting via live cd/usb? | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | butch1282: with laptops often the 'cheapest' is not that much of a value. if you can get 2x the machine for $30 more.. | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: it can be identical to booting from a cd. | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: i think you can somehow set up a persistant save on the hd also. but ive never bothered | 19:19 |
| butch1282 | ok - do you see any issues with the AMD E-Series Processor/Chipsets? | 19:20 |
| computerx | G'day, I have a dual screen setup with 1 workspace. The secondary monitor is smaller and to the left of the main monitor (with the gnome toolbars). When I fullscreen OpenGL or Flash apps, they spread across both monitors. How can I make them only fullscreen on the main monitor? | 19:20 |
| alvinPH | Dr_Willis: I'm looking for an alternative distro that's far different from the looks of ubuntu but still based from it. | 19:20 |
| Magentium | butch1282 if it is anything like the AMD Series then no, i run a 2.2Ghz Single Core V120, and its blazing fast and stable | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: theres dozens of them.. it all depends on your needs. | 19:21 |
| butch1282 | k, thanks | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: been trying Bodhi on this box :) but dont expect support in this channel for the variants. | 19:21 |
| Magentium | computerx if you have Compiz Installed, inside the CSMM i believe there is a plugin to stop windows opening off screen, it should keep them on one screen, but no promises | 19:21 |
| nabi | how do i change ufw DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY ? | 19:22 |
| computerx | Magnetium: I have the compiz manager installed, any idea which plugin? | 19:22 |
| Magentium | computerx give me 1 minute I will have a look | 19:22 |
| computerx | Thank you | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: what chipset are you using? | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ati/intel/nvidia? | 19:22 |
| alvinPH | Dr_Willis: I want a simple and lightweight interface, basically for web browsing, multimedia and office suite. what distro could you suggest? | 19:23 |
| computerx | Nvidia | 19:23 |
| computerx | Proprietry driver | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: go to disrtowatch web site and see.. any of them can do it.. You may as well try Lubuntu first.. since it is almost an official ubuntu variant. :) or will be official soon | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: if you enable twinview. (and restart the x server) when you fullscreen an app it will maxamize to the display its on. | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: unless its a very badly written app. :) | 19:24 |
| alvinPH | what is its desktop anyway? | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !lxde | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu = lxde | 19:24 |
| Magentium | computerx unforunately i cannot find the plugin i had, but the method that Dr_Willis explained also works well | 19:24 |
| Jordan_U | !best | alvinPH | 19:24 |
| ubottu | alvinPH: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:24 |
| computerx | Twinview is with 2 workspaces, toolbars on each? | 19:24 |
| Magentium | LUBUNTU Is AWESOME!! =D I love it | 19:24 |
| nabi | how do i set ufw DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT" ? | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: run nvidia-settings tool. enable twinview.. restart X server (or reboot) | 19:24 |
| george_ | Hello. Do you use mplayer? I'm using the last version on kubuntu 11.04 repositories and can't play mms stream. Any ideas? I have gstream good, bad, ugly installed... | 19:25 |
| irwinfv | alvinPH, xfce (xubuntu) runs pretty lightweight too...Though a little larger the lxde | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: just hitting apply will not work properly in some cases. untill you reset the X server. some apps can get confused. | 19:25 |
| computerx | It's on twinview already. Neverball, Neverputt and Flash in Chrome don't behave. | 19:25 |
| alvinPH | no, you get me wrong, i'm not polling see i'm asking only one person? | 19:25 |
| computerx | More don't behave, they're just three examples off the top of my head | 19:25 |
| Magentium | alvinPH if you are looking for a basic Desktop envionment that focuses on minimal resources, i personally recommend Lxde | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: you did restat the X server? | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | restart. :) | 19:26 |
| computerx | It's been setup like this for months | 19:26 |
| computerx | As Twinview | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: so Some apps do work properly.. and some dont? | 19:26 |
| alvinPH | magentium: ok i'll try what you suggest, thanks to all of you | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont have a 2 monitor sysstem handy to double checn those apps. I cant even recall the last app i saw that worked wrongly.. other then some java apps. | 19:26 |
| computerx | Only "normal" apps seem to work properly. Maximize etc. Anything with a fullscreen option goes crazy. | 19:26 |
| leao | Guys I'm using Xchat-Gnome for my ubuntu, do you have any other suggestions because it SUCKS ! | 19:27 |
| Magentium | alvinPH you are welcome, Even though it is not offically supported, if you wish to use a distribution that has multiple environments installed, then you could try Ubuntu Ultimate | 19:27 |
| leao | it doesnt even show the user names as default | 19:27 |
| Magentium | I have KDE, XFCE, LXDE, GNOME, Openbox and Fluxbox installed by default | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: well.. i definatly CAN (could) use the max/full screen feature in vlc/xbmc/games and if the game window was on the 2nd monitor - it would fullscreen to that monitor only. Double check teh nvidia-settings and be sure twinview is on. and I think xinerama is off.. | 19:27 |
| alvinPH | Magentium: where could i get that? | 19:27 |
| nabi | how do i set ufw DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT" ? | 19:28 |
| Magentium | leao have you tried just normal Xchat? I am using it currently and its create | 19:28 |
| Magentium | Great | 19:28 |
| Magentium | alvinPH i shall get you a link | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ubuntu Ultimate - is definatly not lightweight. :) | 19:28 |
| alvinPH | ok thakns | 19:28 |
| Magentium | alvin, you are competent with Torrents? | 19:28 |
| alvinPH | yes | 19:28 |
| Putr | hey guys. I'm at an event and my friends computer isnt connecting well to the wireless (signal is intermidiate). Is there a way he could connect to me with cable and my computer would work as a network switch? | 19:28 |
| computerx | I did double-check Twinview as you said it. VLC and Totem do work correctly, as it happens. This is becoming relevant as I'm installing Doom3 linux client right now, and this will drive me nuts. I'll check xinerama... | 19:28 |
| === root is now known as Guest78753 | ||
| Dr_Willis | computerx: xinerama is like the 'old' way of handling it. nvidias enhanced way is 'twinview' I Have heard of some issues in 11.04 with multi monitor support. It could be theres some iother issues causing the problem. | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: i would be curious if it worked properly with other window managers like icewm. | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: if running in a window, the CCSM plugin 'window rules' (i think) has ways to set windows to be spefific sizes/locations | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | and even hide decorations i think. | 19:30 |
| yoR | I've just tried installing Ubuntu (from USB drive), loading it from USB worked great, was able to do almost anything, but after installing I just get purple flicker... any ideas? (and is this the correct channel to ask?) | 19:30 |
| === GUIpsp is now known as \n | ||
| Dr_Willis | yoR: whats your video chipset. | 19:31 |
| Magentium | alvin i shall get you a link to the torrent file, it is much faster download, the file size is 2.6GB i believe, and comes with A LOT of programs, Themes, etc. Once you tweak it to your needs, it works justn like any other Distro | 19:31 |
| computerx | I'll check window rules. I'm hesistant to make significant changes because this is primarily my work computer, I spend 90% of my time programming on it, and really don't want to mess it up ;) | 19:31 |
| yoR | I've got an Asrock Extreme 4 motherboard and a ATI 6870 | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: You could always test with a differnt user. | 19:31 |
| yoR | It boots with PCIe as default | 19:31 |
| computerx | Oooh, clever | 19:31 |
| omni__ | hmm | 19:31 |
| Duesentrieb_ | hi all! i'm using natty netbook edition, and it randomly crashes. screen is black, can#t change to vt, no ping, no ssh. there's nothing obvious in the syslog. i wonder how to debug this... | 19:32 |
| Duesentrieb_ | any ideas? | 19:32 |
| Duesentrieb_ | anything i could turn on to find out what's happening? | 19:32 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: i would be curious if the apps did fullscreen properly in icewm, or openbox. | 19:32 |
| === jon5882 is now known as Jon|AFK | ||
| Magentium | alvinPH http://ultimateedition.info/ultimate-edition/ultimate-edition-2-9/ if you go to that link, there is 32Bit and 64 bit, i am sure you can get the downloads from there. Perhaps read up about the install and programs, watch some videos and screenshots etc before you make your choice | 19:32 |
| alvinPH | :D thank you buddy. | 19:33 |
| Pici | alvinPH, Magentium: Please keep in mind that we do not support Ubuntu Ultimate in this channel. | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Duesentrieb_: while its running ssh in, and have the log files being printed in real time.. untill it crashes. (use tail -f /var/log/SOMTHING) and see what the logs say. | 19:33 |
| computerx | I'll try the "not installing stuff" route first ;) | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: i always keep icewm installed for a 'backup/rescue' window manager. | 19:33 |
| computerx | If this PC goes tits up, I lose a lot of time, and then money | 19:33 |
| alvinPH | that's ok, | 19:33 |
| Duesentrieb_ | Dr_Willis: well... which log?... | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: not like icewm is going to blow up your system.. | 19:33 |

| ubottu | Jon|AFK, please see my private message | 19:34 |
| Broc93 | hello everybody | 19:34 |
| Magentium | Pici yes and i respect that :) was just giving him an option for if he decided to try out something that has it built in :) | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | theres kernel log and others.. you may want to monitor several of them | 19:34 |
| computerx | I assume I can apt-get it? | 19:34 |
| Broc93 | how do I delete a file using the console? | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: of course... | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Broc93: rm file | 19:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !cli | Broc93 | 19:34 |
| ubottu | Broc93: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 19:34 |
| computerx | And switching to it? Is icewm the equivalent to metacity/compiz? | 19:34 |
| IdleOne | Magentium: and when he has problems with it he can go to the irc channel and be told to come here where we don't support it. | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: icewm is a widnow manager like metacity.. will add a gdm menu item. | 19:35 |
| computerx | This is part of the X "relationships" I don't "get" | 19:35 |
| alvinPH | Magentium: there's no LXDE for 32bit | 19:35 |
| anthony_dev | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+question/155568 | 19:35 |
| nemo | Duesentrieb_: any issues w/ CPU temperature? also, run memtest already? (maybe you are at something pretty fundamental) | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: its all about layers... X --> Window manager --> File manager and other apps | 19:35 |
| Magentium | IdleOne of course i know that, my appologise for mentioning it | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: icewm is a window manager.. Gnome is a 'desktop' :) which is a WM + other apps.. | 19:35 |
| Magentium | alvinPH you may wish to just install the environment onto your current install | 19:35 |
| anthony_dev | I got same problem, plz help. I cant see menu button at top and even this taskbar or something like that. and I cant see side panel. | 19:36 |
| Duesentrieb_ | nemo: not a temperature issue, no. memory would be possible i guess. though it didn't happen with 10.10... but i probably should run memtest | 19:36 |
| dsockwell | my Ubuntu server doesn't give any output on boot. I'm used to seeing output from the kernel, how can I read that? | 19:36 |
| Duesentrieb_ | nemo: will do next time it crashes | 19:36 |
| Duesentrieb_ | hm... | 19:36 |
| dsockwell | difficulty: the machine won't finish booting. | 19:36 |
| computerx | lol, doom3 went to the bottom-left of the left monitor, at 800x600 "fullscreen". | 19:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dsockwell: you could see if the /etc/default/grub file is hiding the output. replace the 'quiet splash' with '' or 'text' perhaps/ | 19:36 |
| Duesentrieb_ | is there a way to get continuous output from dmesg? | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: given how old doom3 is.. Im not suprised. :) | 19:37 |
| Magentium | dsockwell we had the same issue, try using the -v option when running the kernel | 19:37 |
| nemo | Duesentrieb_: any suspiciousness in dmesg? | 19:37 |
| dsockwell | Magentium: -v? ok | 19:37 |
| nemo | like, that might be warning signs? | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | computerx: you can set up scripts to run xrandr and turn off one monitor, run the game, then reactivate the monitors after the game exists.. | 19:37 |
| Duesentrieb_ | nemo: none that i can tell, no | 19:37 |
| Magentium | dsockwell yes i believe that -v is for verbose unless i am confused with Mac OSX | 19:37 |
| computerx | I don't play... well, games hardly at all. Doom, a little WoW... | 19:37 |

| yoR | Dr_Willis: I'll try running it from the onboard videocard | 19:39 |
| computerx | So I see xrandr should let me be quite specific. I like this. I'll probably go the script route. I'm handy with bash. | 19:39 |
| omni__ | I'm still having a problem with Del Print drivers. the .deb installed it, however i get a kickback error during installation. It is telling me not to be in root, however i'm not. (Here is the Error in Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uhyPS22D ) | 19:39 |

| Dr_Willis | computerx: but it shouldent break antying a log out/back in cant fix :) | 19:40 |

| dsockwell | Magentium: -v did it, thank you | 19:40 |
| Magentium | dsockwell you are welcome, we run 2 LInux servers here and -v is on for both simply because of that issue :) | 19:40 |

| Magentium | computerx you are welcome, i will try and stay online for as long as i can tonight if you need any more help, feel free to email me at admin@magentium.com if you need any other assistance | 19:41 |
| computerx | lol Magnetium. Everything since installing an Nvidia card has paled in comparison to the "joys" of trying to work with an old ATI card. | 19:41 |
| computerx | I've sworn at (a lot) and off ATI since moving to Linux permanently. | 19:42 |
| Magentium | dsockwell LIKEEE, I have to agree. i Installed it for my GF and she loved it cos it was so simple, but for me its the biggest challenge since waking up in the morning :p | 19:42 |
| alvinPH | Magentium: i found what I need, it's BOdhi :D | 19:42 |
| Duesentrieb_ | nemo, Dr_Willis: ok, tail -f running for dmesg and syslog from a different box now. and will run a memtest when it crashes again. hopefully, then i'll know more | 19:42 |

| alvinPH | it's light and the desktop is enlightenment :D | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: i mentioned im using that right now. :) | 19:43 |
| alvinPH | aw. sorry i didn't noticed XD | 19:43 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: its ok. but enlightment is really.. not that impressive to me .. ive used E on and off for years. | 19:44 |
| Polah | alvinPH: Isn't Enlightenment just a window manager, not a desktop enviroment? | 19:44 |
| alvinPH | can i install bodhi on a 2gb stick? | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Enlightment is almost a desktop. :) | 19:44 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: a full install here was a little over 3gb i think | 19:44 |
| user1 | can someone tell me about DNS services in ubuntu | 19:45 |
| Dr_Willis | alvinPH: and when you start using it for real work.. your tmp and caches will start taking up space also. | 19:45 |
| usman | also is necessary to define reverse lookup enteries for a domain then bind will work ?? | 19:45 |
| Dr_Willis | night all.. | 19:45 |
| Polah | Dr_Willis: How can it be almost a desktop? It's either an environment and provides as such, or it's a window manager that sits on top of an environment like GNOME. If it managed windows and did some environment stuff it could conflict. | 19:45 |

| ActionParsnip | alvinPH: could start from minimal and build up | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | User1: dnsmasq can provide a dns service | 19:47 |
| alvinPH | that's my point, I want the minimal but complete for my needs | 19:47 |
| computerx | Next! The audio is crunching and clicking. It won't use OSS (/dev/dsp not found), and is using Alsa. I use Pulseaudio and EsounD (in Wine because it's more stable than Alsa under load, I've found). Any ideas? | 19:48 |
| user1 | ActionParsnip : if i have vps.abc.com and an ip 123.45.67.89 how do i bind them so that i can ping vps.abc.com | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | alvinPH: the default ubuntu comes with a tonne of fluff. Using minimal then only adding what you need keeps it small | 19:49 |
| computerx | user1: sudo nano /etc/hosts - put in 123.45.67.89 vps.abc.com | 19:49 |
| yoR | Dr_Willis: Cool, the default onboard graphic card is working, thanks. Now I can update the drivers etc | 19:49 |
| user1 | computerx: that's done already | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | User1: add it in /etc/hosts | 19:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Magentium: no, minimal. It installs using the web. Just install a base OS then hook up to the web and install apps (wired link makes this easier) | 19:52 |
| computerx | Would it be affected by me running one of my two cores at 100% constantly? Do I need to give alsa some cpu headroom? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | alvinPH: use software centre | 19:53 |
| Magentium | computerx i have had very bad times with Alsa, new kernel and then alsa is gone, i find that when its clicky i check the PCM Volume and update to the latest version and it works | 19:53 |
| Magentium | ActionParsnip, where could i find this install? is it the minimal iso that can be downloaded from FTP sites? | 19:53 |

| ActionParsnip | !minimal | 19:54 |
| oCean | HammerTiem: please stop the public nick changes | 19:54 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:54 |
| Magentium | computerx if you go to a terminal and type alsamixer, it SHOULD come up with PCM Volume i believe it is called, i find that if it is too high, even the Alert Sounds are crackly and horrible | 19:54 |

| bigbang | when i start my google video chat in chrome i get error "A problem occurred while attempting to access your graphics hardware." | 19:57 |
| computerx | alsamixer didn't fix it directly, but it looks like Doom3 was pushing the audio in a little too high. Now I've turned that down, it's fine. Thanks for the guidance | 19:57 |
| Magentium | bigbang what graphics card do you have ? | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Magentium: np man. I use it then install lxde. Very fast and punchy OS plus fewer updates after install as you install from the server | 19:58 |
| Magentium | computerx you are welcome | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Doom3 rocks!! | 19:58 |
| Magentium | ActionParsnip, the main problem i have with ubuntu is when it installes stuff idont need, and then takes HOURS to remove it all safely without bricking the OS. Minimal install sounds like an amazing thing, i shall try i! | 19:58 |

| klingelbart | maco | 21:00 |
| maco | klingelbart: there's also "/root" which id usually call "slash root" | 21:00 |
| klingelbart | is there a different between / and root | 21:01 |
| maco | klingelbart: so /bin, /usr, /etc are all under / | 21:01 |
| klingelbart | but there is a folder called root under / | 21:01 |
| peterhil | Ok, it wasn't there. Maybe no kernel module was loaded or the SATA controller was disabled in BIOS - there was an option for that. And now it seems, I have accidentally set a password... :-/ | 21:01 |
| maco | klingelbart: "the root partition" is how you say it out loud, but when you write, it, it's "the / partition", get it? and yes, there's a /root, which is a directory named "root" inside the / partition, and functions as the root user's home directory | 21:01 |
| Hemika | IsmAvatar: Can you help me with my problem? | 21:02 |
| klingelbart | there is a folder called root under the main directory root? like root-root or "slash root" | 21:02 |
| IsmAvatar | peterhil: if it's not showing up, definitealy check the bios | 21:02 |
| michrz | I have a bit of a problem on my fathers laptop - it's with the detect display function. Displays are detected correctly, but after unplugging the remote screen there is a little box left in the upper left corner with the display name ('Laptop' in this case). And it won't go away until he reoots. Has anyone encountered such problem? | 21:02 |
| peterhil | Well, the machine is great otherwise. Amazingly responsive and fast compared to almost similar HW. | 21:02 |
| IsmAvatar | Hemika: sorry, I have no experience with Wubi. | 21:02 |
| peterhil | It has quite fast buses and memory I think | 21:02 |
| IsmAvatar | Hemika: aside from having lots of problems with it >_> | 21:02 |
| Hemika | IsmAvatar: oh okay | 21:02 |
| klingelbart | thanks maco. got it | 21:02 |
| maco | klingelbart: k good | 21:02 |
| peterhil | It's going to be my Linux dev machine. | 21:03 |
| IsmAvatar | Hemika: my recommendation is to fork over a little partition space and actually install an ubuntu partition. | 21:03 |

| peterhil | Is the only ways to reset the BIOS password to set a reset jumper on the MB or remove battery? | 21:03 |
| peterhil | Are... | 21:04 |
| michrz | it depends on BIOS | 21:04 |
| IsmAvatar | peterhil: if your secondary hard drive isn't showing up, I'd make sure it's connected properly and then make sure it's detected and enabled in the bios | 21:04 |
| edbian | peterhil: You don't know the password? | 21:04 |
| michrz | sometimes you can use one of the universla passwords | 21:04 |
| peterhil | No. I didnät set the password on purposefully... | 21:04 |
| IsmAvatar | because generally hard drives don't just up and walk off inside the OS. | 21:04 |
| klingelbart | the folder "home" is inside the root device. but i thought home and root were different partitions? is that not true? | 21:05 |
| peterhil | Ok, what are the usual ones? | 21:05 |
| michrz | or you can cast reset BIOS with the jumper (hope that it's a correct translation) | 21:05 |
| Hemika | IsmAvatar: Even i don't prefer inside windows but actually everytime i installed normally i never get the menu to choose between windows and ubuntu ie. the grub menu is never there | 21:05 |
| Pici | peterhil: This is a better question for #hardware, as it doesn't really have anything to do with Ubuntu | 21:05 |

| maco | klingelbart: when you mount a partition, you can mount it into any directory on the system | 21:06 |
| IsmAvatar | Hemika: if you install Ubuntu second (after Windows), then grub should show up. | 21:06 |
| Hemika | yes | 21:06 |
| maco | klingelbart: the directory onto which you mount it is called its "mountpoint" -- any directory can be a mountpoint | 21:06 |
| klingelbart | thanks maco | 21:06 |
| maco | klingelbart: if you look in your /etc/fstab file, you can see what the mountpoints are that you have configured for boot | 21:06 |

| evon | Is there a way to change the size of the top panel so that it is shorter just on the left side? | 21:07 |
| maco | klingelbart: if you type "mount" on the command line, it lists ever partition that's mounted, where its mounted, and what its mount options are | 21:07 |

| digger_1967 | Greetings all | 21:14 |
| === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ | ||
| evon | hello | 21:14 |
| meLon | So, I can ping hosts. I can dig hosts. Chromium and Firefox will not load pages. They just load and load and load and load and load. No other computers on the network are having these issues. Any ideas? | 21:14 |
| digger_1967 | melon, is your firewall active? | 21:15 |
| meLon | I have default iptables digger_1967 | 21:15 |
| digger_1967 | Just as a test, try disabling your firewall | 21:16 |
| saamm | is there any command to measure current mouse sensitivity? | 21:16 |
| digger_1967 | See if either browser will load pages | 21:16 |
| meLon | It's not my firewall. I've made no changes to my firewall, digger_1967 | 21:16 |
| meLon | I think it has to do with DNS, although dig is showing very quick resolves | 21:17 |
| IsmAvatar | why would a liveCD complain about "unable to open `/dev/sda`" and then not boot? | 21:17 |
| digger_1967 | Ok, well always try to cover the basics first.. it's a troubleshooting thing | 21:17 |
| peterhil | I think I found the reason now - by default the SATA adapter was set in RAID mode instead of IDE | 21:17 |
| IsmAvatar | peterhil: I was wondering about that when I looked at my new mobo's bios, I saw RAID and IDE. Mine was set to IDE. | 21:18 |
| SophieHoneycomb | Hi. I have a real newbie question. I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop and I want to configure RDP so I can connect to Ubuntu via my Android tablet. My first question is what is the default port the RDP listens to. I've googled like mad and came up with 5900...but I'm not sure if this is right. I can't figure out how to reconfigure the preinstalled RDP Client. | 21:19 |
| matbee | try a port scan? | 21:19 |
| matbee | nmap yourself :) | 21:19 |
| Creeture | That sounds kinky. | 21:20 |
| digger_1967 | 5900 is for VNC SophieHoneycomb | 21:20 |
| IsmAvatar | very | 21:20 |
| Pici | SophieHoneycomb: there is no RDP server on Ubuntu. There is a VNC server though. | 21:20 |
| digger_1967 | 3389 is for actual RDP - if your using Windows Remote Desktop protocol | 21:20 |
| meLon | digger_1967, lynx seems to not have any issues. Just firefox and chromium. traceroute runs fine and ifconfig shows no packet loss/errors | 21:20 |
| Creeture | What's a good set of packages to remove on a machine that was installed as a desktop but I want to pull back to a server role? | 21:20 |
| Creeture | xserver-common ? | 21:20 |
| meLon | You want ubuntu to boot without GDM, Creeture. | 21:21 |
| digger_1967 | However if you want to use true RDP and a windows remote desktop client SophieHoneycomb, you'll need to install XRDP on ubuntu first | 21:21 |
| veresp | hey guys, i remember one scifi show, but i can't remember it's name... maybe someone of you will... they used some devices looking like sort of coffin when they were landing on planet and this probe/module could be lifted back by spacecraft... don't you remember name of this show? :D | 21:21 |
| Creeture | meLon: No, that's easy. I want to take all of the X related packages, all of the gnome stuff off. Don't want to update it anymore. | 21:21 |
| evon | Is there a way to change the size of the top panel so that it is shorter just on the left side? | 21:22 |
| meLon | Well, you still need X, Creeture. You just want to remove gnome, eh? | 21:22 |
| SophieHoneycomb | oh ok. let me try to scan for it. I was just using the Gnome remote desktop that's preinstalled. I guess that's VNC. as long as vnc will clone the browser ok. my adroid tablet still can't play netflix and hulu. :( | 21:22 |
| Creeture | I don't need X for anything on this box. | 21:23 |
| petrolman | Is it possible to replace the image icon of the buttons in the launcher? | 21:23 |
| Creeture | Maybe xauth for ssh forwarding, but not even that really. | 21:23 |
| IsmAvatar | veresp: wrong channel | 21:23 |
| digger_1967 | As long as your android tablet has a VNC client then all you'd need is to open port 5900 and you should be good | 21:23 |
| peterhil | IsmAvatar: Yes, that was it. | 21:23 |
| Pici | veresp: Try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 21:23 |

| adminewb | Fresh troubleshooting data points: it's now confirmed that my system hardware can run linux for amd64 (on sysrescue), but for whatever reason I can run only x86 (32bit) ubuntu, of whatever release build tried... yes ubuntu likes for people to run 32bit, but any explanations for that have been evasive at best. Someone know something about why amd64 support is so poor? | 21:24 |
| SophieHoneycomb | awesome. anyone use a mobile vnc client they like by any chance? I'm not sure why there is such a wide price range in the market... | 21:25 |
| IsmAvatar | SophieHoneycomb: I've always been happy with ssh | 21:25 |
| IsmAvatar | lol | 21:25 |
| digger_1967 | SophieHoneycomb: That's pretty much the nature of mobile apps, the prices on them always vary wildly | 21:26 |
| digger_1967 | However my guess is if you do a google search or two you can probably find a free alternative that works as well as the paid apps | 21:26 |
| petrolman | adminewb, I ve no problems with amd II X4 955 Processor. What s your CPU? | 21:26 |
| Creeture | Ahhh.. aptitude purge x11-common gets me a long way toward my goal. | 21:27 |
| adminewb | AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core | 21:27 |
| adminewb | petrolman, it's possible that the ubuntu kernel (distinct from other amd64 linux distros) doesn't like my extra core, or the unconventional display hardware arrangement. I can't diagnose the syslog messages. | 21:28 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | Hi all. Anyone knows a player possible to play mp3s through ftp protocol? | 21:29 |

| adrian15 | Ivan_The_Terribl: Possibily vlc | 21:30 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | I'll try it, thank you. | 21:30 |
| IsmAvatar | adminewb: I never had trouble with my amd athlon dual core and linux. Granted, I did have trouble with it eating hard drives, but that's unrelated. | 21:30 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 21:30 |
| digger_1967 | So what your saying IsmAvatar is that maybe to get linux to run on an AMD dual core you need to sacrifice hard drives to it occasionally? Lol | 21:31 |
| SophieHoneycomb | is there an ssh client that will get me the gui? I only need the vnc to get around android restrictions on my hulu and netflix accounts. god forbid I haul my laptop to another room if I want to watch battlestar galactica. lol. | 21:32 |
| manumanuel | hola, hay alguien que hable español aquí? | 21:32 |
| adminewb | incidentally, I got only a short way into the debian squeeze amd64 install process, but far enough to lend some credence that I'd not have the same trouble with debian that I do with ubuntu. | 21:32 |
| IsmAvatar | !es | manumanuel | 21:32 |
| ubottu | manumanuel: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 21:32 |
| manumanuel | recibido, Thanks! | 21:32 |
| adminewb | that is to say, debian loads up amd64 kernel (2.6.35?) to run its installer on. | 21:33 |
| petrolman | adminewb, strange, Ubuntu 64 bit should work on all 64 bit CPUs like Athlon 64, Athlon II, Opteron, Phenom..., I even use the amd64 bit version on a notebook with intel core 2 | 21:33 |
| adminewb | petrolman ok | 21:33 |
| __mikem | How come the LibreOffice menu doesn't appear at the top with all the other app menus | 21:34 |
| adminewb | petrolman, well I've collected enough data points telling me I don't have a motherboard issue with respect to amd64 / 64 bit mem address space | 21:34 |
| IsmAvatar | __mikem: It's Unity/Gnome3. I think LibreOffice just doesn't do Gnome 3 yet, but I think they've fixed it for 11.10 | 21:34 |

| digger_1967 | adminnewb, I suggest you check your BIOS settings on the dual core, sometimes Ubuntu an other distros don't react well to things like overclocking, etc. Usually most BIOS's have a "Load Optimized Defaults" option that will allow you to load standard BIOS options | 21:35 |
| __mikem | IsmAvatar thanks :) | 21:35 |
| adminewb | digger_1967 not overclocking, nothing unusual in BIOS settings | 21:35 |
| digger_1967 | Ok, if you say so. Worked like a charm on the last machine I had problems with - but obviously my help is unnecessary | 21:36 |

| delac | I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and trying to get Natty installed on usb stick with unetbootin. But I only get "boot error" from bios. Can anyone verify that it is somehow possible to get Natty installed on usb stick from 9.10? | 21:38 |
| === lilstevie is now known as lilstevie|ZNC | ||
| __mikem | Are the repositories for 9.10 still on line? | 21:39 |
| s3r3n1t7 | adminewb, what you're describing also isn't Ubuntu specific. This channel is about Ubuntu, more kernel related can be found in #linux | 21:39 |
| xangua | adminewb: well ubuntu is a gnu/linux os, who knows... | 21:39 |
| xangua | __mikem: nop, not supported anymore ;) | 21:39 |
| adminewb | ok then | 21:39 |
| KM0201 | __mikem: i don't think so, but you should be able to upgrade w/ either an ALT cd, or using the EOL repository | 21:39 |

| edbian | delac: It is possible. It doesn't matter what distro you use to create the USB stick. | 21:40 |

| zombi- | group/owner ? | 21:40 |
| Creeture | __mikem: They'e at old-releases usually. I think. Maybe that's Debian. | 21:40 |
| adminewb | is there an easy way to say what distinguishes #linux from ##linux? | 21:40 |
| __mikem | I know, the only reason I ask is because delac said he is using 9.10 | 21:40 |
| edbian | delac: What is your boot priority in the bios. Sometimes the usb keys are in very sneaky spots (like under HDDs of 'removable media') | 21:40 |
| BluesKaj | francesco_, type route in the terminal , the destination gateway is the router IP | 21:40 |
| KM0201 | __mikem: well, then whatever efforts he's making to do something will likely end up fruitless. | 21:40 |
| PalinBachman2012 | bluetooth audio on an IOmega domgle? Natty, YES? | 21:40 |
| ari__ | I just installed ubuntu 'natty' using Wubi. The first time I booted in Linux it worked, but now every time I try it takes so long to finish the booting commands (over 30 minutes) I have to just shut down manually and boot in windows. Other commands take much longer than usual, but I usually get stuck on apparmor stuff. Is this a known problem, any fixes/advice? | 21:41 |
| syockit | zombi-: depends on who you want it to be visible to. For internal use server pages, group/owner only. For public, allow for others as well | 21:41 |
| __mikem | KM0201 he's trying to create a bootable USB of something | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | delac: what are you trying to do? | 21:41 |
| delac | edbian, mike: I dont actually use it myself, but a friend of mine. | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | oh i see | 21:41 |
| syockit | zombi-: by the way you don't have to set it recursively. you can select which directories are public and which ones aren't | 21:41 |
| * __mikem stares lovingly at gnome-terminal running in unity in full screen :) | 21:41 | |

| edbian | delac: ok. Are you using the USB creator thingy? | 21:42 |
| zombi- | but i have /var/www/* all set to root:root | 21:42 |
| delac | edbian: I just wanted a confirmation that there is no nkown problems | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | delac: i take it you have no access to a machine other than 9.10? | 21:42 |
| * edbian tells all his friends to upgrade their Ubuntu | 21:42 | |

| edbian | delac: WEll. There are none that I know about but that isn't saying much | 21:42 |
| syockit | zombi-: yes. What are the files inside going to be used for? | 21:42 |
| zombi- | so im wondering what the best way to go about allowing that is | 21:42 |
| delac | KM0201: the friend doesnt have | 21:42 |
| d1gital | what program will allow me to capture an image from the webcam from a shell script? i had it before, but I can't remember what it's called. | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | ic | 21:42 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zombi-, add him to the group that has write permissions | 21:43 |
| __mikem | delac well, do you have internet access on the box? | 21:43 |
| petrolman | __mikem, yes, full screen terminal is cool with transparent background :-) | 21:43 |
| zombi- | so add zombi to root group? | 21:43 |
| delac | __mikem: yes | 21:43 |
| syockit | zombi-: you can change group, and add both root and yourself to that group | 21:43 |
| BluesKaj | ari__, you didn't actually install 11.04 , it runs as a guest OS on windows ... wubi for ubuntu merely to try it , it's not a serious OS | 21:43 |
| zombi- | usermod zombi -G root ? | 21:43 |
| syockit | zombi-: no, don't add zombi to root group, that'll turn you into a superuser | 21:43 |
| adalberto_ | hello | 21:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | zombi-, wait, does your web server run as root? That's wrong ... both the group and user owner should be owned by a user like www-data | 21:43 |
| syockit | zombi-: create a new group. maybe something named www | 21:44 |
| __mikem | delac okay, and you are trying to create a bootable USB to install off of? | 21:44 |
| CrustyBarnacle | zombi: #ubuntu-server | 21:44 |
| zombi- | CrustyBarnacle: sorry | 21:44 |
| delac | __mikem: yes, that is plan one | 21:44 |
| delac | __mikem: plan two is to make dvd | 21:44 |
| CrustyBarnacle | zombi: You might find more answers there is all. | 21:44 |
| __mikem | delac is there any particular reason why you prefer the USB route? I am not saying there is anything wrong with it, I am just curious | 21:44 |
| s3r3n1t7 | delac, if you have a running system, perhaps that unetbootin is a good plan? | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | __mikem: if you're having trouble w/ the USB setup... you should be able to burn an ISO w/ 9.10... | 21:45 |
| TiCPU | is there a way to force close all handle of all programs to a specific file without killing the programs? | 21:45 |
| __mikem | KM0201 I'm not the one having the trouble :) | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | then let this be a lesson to keep your system up to date | 21:45 |
| zombi- | syockit: so i could just find the user/group apache runs as.. then change the owner/group in /var/www/ to match them.. then add zombi to that group.. and all should be fine? | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | __mikem: i keep forgettin that.... delac see above.. :) | 21:45 |
| delac | __mikem: it's faster nad easier and doesnt use any dvd-r | 21:45 |
| edbian | zombi-: www-data I believe | 21:45 |
| __mikem | delac okay, well, I never did the USB thing before. So I would probably refer you to KM0201 since he seems to know a bit more than I do :) | 21:46 |
| delac | s3r3n1t7: do you know if there is any problems to instaa Natty from 9.10 (with unetbootin), as I dont seem to be able to make it work? | 21:46 |
| s3r3n1t7 | delac, "install from 9.10" ? | 21:46 |
| ari__ | blueskaj I would prefer not to install a whole new OS, Id like to stick with wubi if possible... is wubi so buggy that i should give that up or have people generally been ok with wubi/natty | 21:46 |
| syockit | zombi-: I haven't used a server on ubuntu for a long time. Maybe it's a edbian said | 21:46 |
| delac | KM0201: yes, that is plan two | 21:46 |
| KM0201 | delac: personally, if its available, i'd make it plan 1... the chances of 9.10 being able to burn an Iso of 11.04, is pretty slim. | 21:47 |
| s3r3n1t7 | delac, i didn't have any problems making a bootable USB from 10.04 to reinstall my os, and it's running fine at the moment. | 21:47 |
| zombi- | yeah i always remember it being www-data | 21:47 |
| === me is now known as Guest68064 | ||
| zombi- | but for some reason on this clean install its root:root | 21:47 |
| xangua | ari__: wubi is ok if you want to try ubuntu, to use it dialy better make a real install | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | xangua: meh.. if you want to try ubntu, use a live cd or USB.. | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | to much risk w/ wubi | 21:47 |
| cgroza | ari__, if you want a stable OS I suggest you avoid wubi. | 21:48 |
| * edbian agrees | 21:48 | |
| KM0201 | if you want a stable anything, i'd avoid wubi. | 21:48 |
| zombi- | its all very odd | 21:49 |
| ari__ | alright if the problem i posted isnt a common one with a known solution, I think i will just do a real install | 21:49 |
| zombi- | according to the config apache is running as www-data | 21:49 |
| zombi- | but the www folder is root:root | 21:49 |
| madmoe | hello everyone | 21:49 |
| edbian | zombi-: So change the folder | 21:49 |
| edbian | madmoe: hi | 21:49 |
| zombi- | would seem the obvious thing to do :) | 21:49 |

| CarlFK | is there a sox syntax to do this in one command: "sox -n -d synth .1 sin 500; sox -n -d synth .1 sin 700" | 21:50 |
| edbian | zombi-: The fresh install does not have a webserver. The real question. Why doesn't apache change these permissions? | 21:51 |

| zombi- | well | 21:52 |

| Dcite | hedu: IRC servers are just servers.. or groups of them.. currently you are connected to a group of servers called Freenode, the physical location doesn't matter | 21:52 |
| madmoe | i have a small big problem i have tripple boot on my macbok pro im using rEFIT for the startup screen after installing ubuntu natty when i choose windows boot it falls on ubuntu and from ubuntu grub2 i can see the windows seven loader but it will not boot | 21:52 |
| ari__ | thx for the advice on wubi guys | 21:52 |
| CarlFK | adrian15: im trying to reduce the number of times sox is run. something like "sox high beep, low beep" | 21:53 |
| hedu | Let's try to keep it in english, and most of these terms just i do not know, I installed Ubuntu like 4 days ago.... :-/ | 21:53 |
| edbian | zombi-: I know! apache should really do something with the permissions | 21:53 |
| Dcite | hedu: IRC isn't something linux related at all.. Ubuntu just happens to be supported here. | 21:54 |
| zombi- | ok so im not going insane? :D ill just fix it | 21:54 |
| madmoe | i tried the grub boot repair but still it didnt work | 21:54 |
| hedu | Yes, I nkow, Mirc is for Windoze and all, but I'm just hving problems with this Xchat... | 21:54 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: What is the installation order that you have done? | 21:55 |
| Dcite | hedu: X-Chat and mIRC use the SAME IRC... but how can I try to help you :) | 21:55 |
| madmoe | when booting into windows i get an error that file not found | 21:55 |
| hiexpo | hedu, what problems you having with xchat | 21:55 |
| adrian15 | CarlFK: And using man does not give you any clues ? | 21:55 |
| madmoe | adrian15: OSx Windows seven on bootcamp then ubuntu with rEfit | 21:56 |
| madmoe | adrian15: but my partitioning table is different than the regular one | 21:56 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: I think that you either have rEfit or you have bootcamp. That might be why Windows does not boot. But I am not very sure. | 21:56 |
| hedu | Basically my general confusion of these irc-servers....so if i contact some, hwtaever irc-servers, I can still join channels where ever server they might be ran from...? | 21:56 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: I know... There are not primary and logical partitions. | 21:57 |
| Alexhans | j vim | 21:57 |
| Alexhans | heh, sorry about that | 21:57 |
| CarlFK | adrian15: clue that it is possible, yes. but I can't figure out what the syntax actually is | 21:57 |
| Hemika | hedu: it depends if the channel you want to join is a part of that server or not | 21:57 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes but refit overrides bootcamp | 21:57 |
| Dcite | hedu: Yes, this is the freenode group of irc servers, so if your friend is using freenode too then you can be together. If your friend is on EFNet then you will have to connect to an EFNET irc server too to join him. | 21:57 |
| hedu | That's what I figures....so erm...still new to Xchat, how do I switch between IRC servers....? | 21:58 |
| madmoe | adrian15: now my mouse stopped working im using Natty | 21:58 |
| Hemika | hedu: just type /server "name of the server you wish to join" | 21:59 |
| hiexpo | hedu, when you start xchat you will see the list of severs | 21:59 |
| edbian | madmoe: unplug it. Plug it back in. Your keyboard works? | 21:59 |
| linux | ok | 21:59 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Oh, yes, Did you remove power? | 21:59 |
| Dcite | hedu: You can also use the menu's ontop the bring up a network list or make a new tab for multiple servers. | 21:59 |
| madmoe | adrian15: you mean power cable | 22:00 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: You are supposed to be able to use touchpad, isn't it? | 22:00 |
| adrian15 | ad | 22:00 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Yes, power cable. | 22:00 |
| madmoe | adrian15: | 22:00 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes aleady did im using battery | 22:00 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: If you unplug and plug the mouse you will be able to use temporarly the mouse. It happens to me at least. | 22:01 |
| madmoe | adrian15: how can i unplug its the touchpad!! | 22:02 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Has your touchpad ever worked? | 22:02 |

| edbian | marekw2143: If you have the source repos enabled. sudo apt-get source unity | 22:05 |
| madmoe | if i can remember someone told me about grub customize ppa that can help | 22:05 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -lu output and /boot/grub/grub.cfg contents ? | 22:05 |
| bigbang | when i start my google video chat in chrome i get error "A problem occurred while attempting to access your graphics hardware." I have this graphics card http://paste.ubuntu.com/617756/ | 22:05 |
| madmoe | adrian15: sure | 22:06 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: I believe it will mess with it royally. Copying over some files and leaving some files from the original install. You should unistall from the package manager first | 22:06 |
| ubuntuguy | So, uninstall the current libreoffice, and then install the new one? | 22:06 |
| marekw2143 | edbian: where will sources be then? | 22:06 |
| madmoe | adrian15: this is my problem when fdisk -l the windows partition doesnt show here | 22:07 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: Yes. What do you need a newer version than what is in the package manager? Generally it is a good idea to stay within the package manager whenever possible | 22:07 |
| edbian | marekw2143: In the current working directory | 22:07 |
| madmoe | adrian15: it is /dev/sda5 | 22:07 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: And before installing Ubuntu Windows was also in sda5 partition ? | 22:07 |
| ubuntuguy | Wait, what? | 22:07 |
| ubuntuguy | I'm install the .tar.gz file. I figured it would update for me | 22:08 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes | 22:08 |
| marekw2143 | edbian: are those sources proper "thing" to change bechaviour of pressing "windows key" + w? | 22:08 |
| madmoe | adrian15: let me tell u i think i did something wrong | 22:08 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: No. Installing a .tar.gz means you are installing an app completely outside of the package manager. You will get the version in the .tar.gz and it will never update unless you do it manually (by getting a new .tar.gz) | 22:09 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Windows has never been able to boot by itself from a logical partition. It might have change with Windows 7... but I have my doubts. | 22:09 |
| edbian | marekw2143: No, that's the hard way! :P | 22:09 |
| madmoe | adrian15: in all the tutorials that i have read there should OSX then Windows Then Linux Then Linux SWAP on the partition table | 22:09 |
| marekw2143 | ed1703: so how should I do that? | 22:09 |
| edbian | marekw2143: What does super + w do right now?? | 22:09 |
| madmoe | adrian15: what i have done is that i had OSx and windows on bootcamp | 22:10 |
| ubuntuguy | Oh, I see. But the .deb file is inside of that .tar.gz file | 22:10 |
| marekw2143 | edbian: makes all windows smaller and shows all them on the screen | 22:10 |
| jamfade | hello everyone, does anyone know an ftp server that allows SIZE while in ASCII and has some way of handling windows paths (like mod_rewrite on proftpd)? | 22:10 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: But why windows in a logical partition ? Why not in sda3 ? | 22:10 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: That is a .deg (so the package manager will be aware of it) but it will not automatically upgrade. | 22:10 |
| madmoe | adrian15: so lets say from blok 1 to 50 is OSx and from 51 to 100 Windows | 22:10 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Anyway... can I take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 22:10 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: That also makes it much easier to install. I don't think it will screw up if you don't uninstall first (since the package manager knows about it) but I'm not sure | 22:10 |
| madmoe | adrian15: and everything was working fine | 22:10 |
| edbian | marekw2143: open a terminal, run ccsm | 22:11 |
| madmoe | adrian15: sure just a sec | 22:11 |
| xangua | ubuntuguy: i would better add the libre office ppa | 22:11 |
| ubuntuguy | What's the PPA? | 22:11 |

| edbian | ubuntuguy: If there is a PPA then that is perfect! That keeps things inside the package manager entirely and you get a newer version right away. It is auto-updated as well. | 22:11 |
| madmoe | this is for the fdisk -lu http://paste.ubuntu.com/617840/ | 22:12 |
| ubuntuguy | Yeah, there'sa PPA | 22:12 |
| ubuntuguy | Is it the most recent verision? | 22:12 |
| ubuntuguy | version? | 22:12 |
| * MonkeyDust never trusts a PPA | 22:12 | |
| marekw2143 | edbian: ok, I've launched it | 22:12 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: That's the point of a PPA | 22:12 |
| xangua | only if the author updates it ;) | 22:12 |
| edbian | ubuntuguy: It's more recent than what's in the repos usually | 22:12 |
| edbian | marekw2143: go down to 'scale' | 22:12 |
| ubuntuguy | If I install the PPA will I need to remove libreoffice first? | 22:13 |
| marekw2143 | edbian: ok | 22:13 |
| edbian | marekw2143: I'm pretty sure that it. Under the key-binding tab you can change what button combo causes that to happen. You could also turn the whole plugin off by ticking it's checkbox | 22:13 |

| adrian15 | MadMoe1: Maybe you have to type ctrl+c to go into console I am not sure about the hotkey. | 22:33 |
| Magentium | gavin_ can you remember what packages were upgraded ? | 22:33 |
| gavin_ | Magentium: unfortunatly not. It was a significant upgrade of circa 150mb | 22:34 |
| adrian15 | MadMoe1: Do you see (hd0,gpt5) on ls output ? | 22:34 |
| gavin_ | so... quite a few. | 22:34 |
| eiriksvin | anyone know Blender in here? | 22:34 |
| gavin_ | Im just trawling through the net now to see if there is anything / bugs. | 22:34 |
| Logan_ | eiriksvin: #blenderQA | 22:35 |
| eiriksvin | thanx | 22:35 |
| Logan_ | eiriksvin: sorry, #blenderchat | 22:35 |
| matt1s | YankDownUnder, true enough, it will all come down to taste in the end. I really like the keyboard shortcuts for managing windows though. ctrl+alt+<numpad-[0-9]> is excellent for positioning windows | 22:35 |
| AlvinPh | hello, how can i open files from other partition, i'm running xubuntu 11.04 and i'm using lxde desktop now but my problem is it says permission denied when i try to access other partition | 22:35 |
| not_insane | AlvinPh: Mount them while root/via sudo | 22:36 |
| AlvinPh | what's the cmd line? | 22:37 |
| rannmann | sudo? | 22:37 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: command line -- open a terminal | 22:37 |
| YankDownUnder | matt1s, This is true, my friend - we all drink our tea/coffee/chai differently - I'll stick to my ancient Gnome2 with Compiz and Cairo-dock and be happy and productive - especially using two monitors for a single desktop...that's the paradigm I prefer... ;) | 22:37 |
| Magentium | yo AlvinPH u had any luck ? | 22:37 |
| not_insane | AlvinPh: sudo mount /dev/(device) /mnt | 22:37 |
| madmoe | adrian15: can you repeat i got DC | 22:38 |
| KM0201 | think of command line as DOS on steroids | 22:38 |
| madmoe | pressed c and then ls | 22:38 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: On grub you press 'c' key. You get to the grub console. | 22:38 |
| madmoe | adrian15: im now on grub screen | 22:38 |
| matt1s | YankDownUnder, does Ubuntu Classic / Gnome 2 support the way of organizing windows that Unity has? I refer specifically to ctrl+alt+<numpad> combinations | 22:38 |
| Magentium | Anyone else got a problem with Slow Natty narwhal while using an ATI Graphics Card ? | 22:38 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes | 22:38 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Do you see (hd0,gpt5) on output ? | 22:38 |
| not_insane | AlvinPh: Then your files will be under /mnt | 22:38 |
| AlvinPh | Magentium: i've already tested wattOS and i found that it runs on LXDE but the problem is it does not have ubuntu software center :( | 22:38 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: you can install Lubuntu if you like LXDE... and then you can install ubuntu software center on it. | 22:39 |
| Magentium | Ahh i see, well why not install an ubuntu install, and then install LXDE onto that ? Just switch at startup :) | 22:39 |
| YankDownUnder | matt1s, There is ALWAYS a way - and if it's a matter of just re-assigning keys to window controls or combos, yes, it can always be done... | 22:39 |
| madmoe | adrian15: i got (hd0) (hd0,gpt5) (hd0,gpt4) (hd0,gpt3) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) | 22:39 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes | 22:39 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Ok. Let's try manual boot before doing anything | 22:40 |
| MonkeyDust | gpt<, | 22:40 |
| MonkeyDust | gpt? | 22:40 |
| madmoe | adrian15: how is that? | 22:40 |
| matt1s | YankDownUnder, thanks for your time. I'll ponder a bit and see if I change back | 22:40 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: set root=(hd0,gpt5) | 22:40 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: chainloader +1 | 22:40 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: boot | 22:40 |
| AlvinPh | ouch, sorry i forgot, my other account is logged on.. how stupid am i XD | 22:40 |
| Magentium | omg, after like a year of pain, i find out the rattle in this laptop..is the HDD | 22:41 |
| Magentium | OMG\ | 22:41 |
| tabacanal | HI, I want to show a popup window with a message in ubuntu 10.14 after the user logs in in gnome. How can I do that? | 22:41 |
| KM0201 | tabacanal: just propse on one knee, its easier | 22:41 |
| KM0201 | lol | 22:41 |
| Magentium | you COULD use a program like QT to design it to run as a program at startup ? | 22:41 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Type these three commands. Each one on a different line. This should boot you into Windows. It might be that grub2 is detecting the wrong uuid for the windows partition after all | 22:41 |
| MonkeyDust | zenity is for creating popups | 22:41 |
| madmoe | adrian15: same error: find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr | 22:42 |
| Magentium | lol maybe he has bad knees :P | 22:42 |
| KM0201 | lol | 22:42 |
| tabacanal | yes, but tehre is not an easy way sop I dont' have to program? | 22:42 |
| tabacanal | I dont knwo about programming | 22:42 |
| adrian15 | tabacanal: With gdm2 I knew how... with gdm3 I have not clue at all. | 22:42 |
| madmoe | adrian15: Error 15 File not found | 22:42 |
| nemor | hi there, hello | 22:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | tabacanal, 10.14 ehh (what was the code name of that?), I guess you mean 10.04LTS. But I don't have an answer so I'll shutup ;) Good luck. | 22:42 |
| madmoe | adrian15: Press any key to continue | 22:42 |
| Magentium | What do you call something that is awesome and wont ever cheat on your , leave you, or abuse you ? | 22:42 |
| Magentium | Ubuntu of course! | 22:42 |
| tabacanal | 10.04 sorry | 22:42 |
| nemor | who is using unity | 22:42 |
| Magentium | I was, whats up ? | 22:43 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Have you selected the windows boot entry ? | 22:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: a dog | 22:43 |
| nemor | natty narwhal | 22:43 |
| not_insane | tabacanal: Go to startup applications and enter this in the command - zenity --error --text 'Hi!' | 22:43 |
| === eliezer is now known as eliezer_ | ||
| Magentium | MonkeyDust lol yes dogs will do that. Stick a dog in the trunk of your car for a day, and your gf in the trunk of a car for a day and see whos happier to see u when u open it | 22:43 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes its in gpt5 /dev/sda5 | 22:43 |
| Magentium | Anyone know anything about ATI Drivers etc ? | 22:43 |
| iceroot | !ati | Magentium | 22:44 |
| ubottu | Magentium: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 22:44 |
| AlvinPh | LOL, Magentium is sick of his GF | 22:44 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: And what about my commands? | 22:44 |
| Magentium | iceroot, more about their compatibility with Natty... | 22:44 |
| tabacanal | not_insane, thatnks, but hwo do I do so that script runs at startuyp? | 22:44 |
| madmoe | adrian15: i did then and on "boot" | 22:44 |
| madmoe | it gave me the previous error | 22:45 |
| not_insane | tabacanal: Go to system>preferences>startup applications, create a new one and enter it there | 22:45 |
| Magentium | My laptop seems to lag baddlyy with 11.04 when i move windows etc, i turn off Detect Refresh Rate, and Sync to VBlack and it helps a little but overall still slow | 22:45 |
| not_insane | tabacanal: Or do you mean when the computer starts up before anyone logs in? | 22:45 |
| djiefo | hi :), about setting for cube, how can I see 4 faces on the cube? | 22:45 |
| Magentium | djiefo are you talking about the Compiz Desktop Cube ?/ | 22:45 |
| djiefo | yup | 22:46 |
| not_insane | djiefo: Install compiz-config | 22:46 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Grub2 developers and their black magic! Commands making more things that what they are supposed to do! | 22:46 |
| Magentium | The number of faces depends on the number of virtual desktops you have :) | 22:46 |
| djiefo | done | 22:46 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Are you in grub console? | 22:46 |
| djiefo | i have the cube but its only 2 faces | 22:46 |
| madmoe | yes | 22:46 |
| madmoe | adrian15: yes | 22:46 |
| Magentium | Do you only have two virtual desktops ? | 22:46 |
| madmoe | rebooted though | 22:46 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: sorry, got sidetracked, if you want software center w/ LXDE.. you can install lubuntu and then install software center, its easy (but software center really sucks, if you understand how to use synaptic)... | 22:47 |
| niikon | hello | 22:47 |
| KM0201 | !info software-center | 22:47 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Ok. | 22:47 |

| djiefo | well i see 4 in the tray.. | 22:47 |
| eiriksvin | can someone help me with this: | 22:47 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Try: inmod part_gpt | 22:47 |
| madmoe | do u want to PM me cuz i doesnt know how to | 22:47 |
| eiriksvin | http://pastebin.com/GuZbeWJY | 22:47 |
| adrian15 | madmoe: Yes, it is better. | 22:47 |
| Magentium | hmm, possibly try going to the Cube settings in CCSM and see if it has a value for it | 22:47 |
| nemor | does anyone know if i should install grub with a couple of lines : one kernel xxxyyy(system recovery) ?? | 22:48 |
| djiefo | no 2 faces again | 22:48 |
| nemor | & how | 22:48 |
| Magentium | when you install grub, it should automatically do that for you | 22:48 |
| Magentium | it did that for me atleast | 22:48 |
| Magentium | once its configured to the HDD it should show your kernel, plus a recovery option for it | 22:48 |
| nemor | 1 os? | 22:48 |
| nemor | ok | 22:48 |
| Magentium | Yes even with 1 OS | 22:49 |
| AlvinPh | KM0201: how can i get USC via terminal or synaptic? | 22:49 |
| nemor | how do you install grub the easy way | 22:49 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: exactly. | 22:49 |
| Magentium | it comes up with mine as Ubuntu blah blah blah, then underneath is the sae but with (Recovery mode) at the end | 22:49 |
| nemor | ok M | 22:49 |
| Magentium | !grub nemor | 22:49 |
| nemor | what i needed to know | 22:49 |
| Magentium | didnt work | 22:49 |
| nemor | thks | 22:49 |
| === Axlin|Mac is now known as Axlin|MB | ||
| Magentium | stupid Xchat | 22:49 |
| Magentium | I will get you a link | 22:49 |
| nemor | ah | 22:49 |
| not_insane | AlvinPh: Install the package software-center | 22:49 |
| djiefo | oh i just solve my problem | 22:49 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: just install Lubuntu, then search synatpic for "Software Center" and you'll have software center (but software center sucks compared to synaptic, not sure why you'd want it if you know how to use synaptic and apt-get | 22:50 |
| Magentium | nemor : http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html | 22:50 |

| AlvinPh | KM0201:USC helps me to choose software for an overview :D | 22:50 |
| xangua | ups :S | 22:50 |
| Magentium | KM0201 yes, i second that. I usually dont like it and tomorrow i am going to be getting rid of my install to get Minimal on so NO resource center :p | 22:50 |
| Magentium | xangua, dont think the bot recognises it | 22:50 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: i guess... it just sucks to much memory, and its not that useful... synaptic provides the same information | 22:51 |
| AlvinPh | KM0201:another is the filename of the software to be used in the terminal | 22:51 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: what about it?... | 22:51 |
| tabacanal | not_insane, that worked | 22:52 |
| tabacanal | for gnome | 22:52 |
| tabacanal | thanks | 22:52 |
| AlvinPh | KM0201:I just use USC to get the filename of a software then install it via apt-get :D | 22:52 |
| tabacanal | I'm going to restart to test it | 22:52 |
| tabacanal | bye | 22:52 |
| not_insane | tabacanal: You're welcome :) | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: no offense, but you can do that w/ apt-get also.. | 22:52 |
| AlvinPh | how | 22:52 |
| KM0201 | apt-get lists packages by package name, just as software center does... not bagging on you, but what you're saying makes no sense | 22:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | KM0201, you might want to try "apt-cache search foo" from cli as well. | 22:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | AlvinPh, ^ | 22:53 |
| KM0201 | ZykoticK9: i don't need help.. :) | 22:53 |
| AlvinPh | hehehe, it's opt to be coz i'm just a newbie in linux :D | 22:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | KM0201, sorry, nic fail. | 22:53 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest60424 | ||
| not_insane | AlvinPh: If you want to get a console-based interface for managing packages, you might want to look into aptitude, just run it from the shell and you'll see what I mean | 22:53 |
| nemor | i guess i have to configure it | 22:54 |
| KM0201 | ZykoticK9: i can see where apt-cache search can be a little overwhelming though | 22:54 |
| KM0201 | sometimes it can return a bazillion results | 22:54 |
| Magentium | At first Apt-Cache was horrible for me, but once i got into it it is much easier then the software Center | 22:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | KM0201, a bazillion ehh? Has Ubuntu passed Debian for number of packages all of a sudden? And by a large margin ;) | 22:55 |
| KM0201 | ZykoticK9: lol.. touche' | 22:55 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: apt-cache search isn't bad, when you know what you're looking for... | 22:55 |

| Squeezer | is there a gui in ubuntu to start services like nginx or mysql? | 23:01 |
| Squeezer | without going into the terminal | 23:02 |
| Magentium | KM0201 sorry for late reply, i agree apt-cache is good if you know what you are a looking for, i found that for new users though the USC is nicer for them, a lot of people are scared to touch the terminal | 23:02 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: yeah.. | 23:02 |
| Juest | squeezer have you tired searching for it in repos??? | 23:03 |

| Magentium | I want to run Natty :( | 23:03 |
| fr00g | Does anyone know what video editor was used to create the Celebrate Ubuntu videos? | 23:03 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: what's the prob? | 23:03 |
| Magentium | MonkeyDust my Graphics card has a known problem with the Compiz settings, the whole install grinds to a halt, its un-useable | 23:03 |
| AlvinPh | sudo mount doesn't work | 23:03 |
| KM0201 | AlvinPh: well you gotta put a path to a device after it | 23:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: can you boot into the system and something won't work? | 23:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: or can you not even boot into the system? | 23:04 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: when you do that minimum installl, you should check out lxde, small and fast | 23:04 |
| Magentium | Monkeydust Booting is fine, everything works PERFECTLY in it, except that there is a Compiz problem where it doesnt detect refresh rate properly and all Compiz effects are really slow. Even with 2D Unity, its an actual bug in how it processes whats on screen | 23:05 |
| Magentium | but unforatuntely there i no know proper fix | 23:05 |
| ibrahim | hi | 23:05 |
| Magentium | and i dont want to go installing natty if i cannot get full speed | 23:05 |
| paulgulley | So i've just updated to natty on my netbook, and unity appears to be broken. log-in page works fine, however once i get on an account, i get only a black screen. Status bubbles and the like (for internet connections etc.) still appear, but that's about it. | 23:05 |
| Kroplex | Does anyone know the command to look at your current network devices (ethernet and wireless)? | 23:05 |
| ibrahim | help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:05 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: type this in a terminal : gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace <enter> | 23:05 |
| Kroplex | ~ask ibrahim | 23:05 |
| ibrahim | ?????????????? | 23:06 |
| Kroplex | !ask | ibrahim | 23:06 |
| ubottu | ibrahim: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:06 |
| Magentium | kroplex ifconfig | 23:06 |
| Magentium | ibrahim whats up? | 23:06 |
| Magentium | KM0201 Yes i was running LXDE on my ubuntu install and it is indeed nice, i may actually switch to it seeing at its fast, and i heard can still use Compiz :) | 23:06 |
| Kroplex | Magentium, not exactly, that gives me current connections but yesterday someone gave me a command and it actually showed something along the lines of "realtek blah blah (ethernet) blah blah marvell topdog" | 23:07 |
| Magentium | MonkeyDust, is that to try and fix the Compiz error? as i am currently running on 10.10 | 23:07 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: well, i don't know about compiz w/ LXDE (although I don't see why not)... you shoudl check out Lubuntu... it's about as bare bones as it gets | 23:07 |
| Kroplex | Magentium, I more want to know what hardware I have for my wireless so I can get the correct driver to install on ubuntu. | 23:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: it worked for me and some other user, yesterday, here, on this chatroom | 23:07 |
| Magentium | KM201 Ive heard of it, never used it though. I have the ISO on my storage drive but i havent tested it yet | 23:07 |
| djiefo | hi, I lost my windows bar... the bar above the screen with _x_ button | 23:07 |
| ysis | Kroplex: try lshw | 23:08 |
| Magentium | Kroplex, try lspci\ | 23:08 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: i switched to Debian for a long time, and Lubuntu is what broght me back. | 23:08 |
| Magentium | ysis yes, or that one | 23:08 |
| fr00g | Does anyone know what video editor was used to create the Celebrate Ubuntu videos? | 23:08 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: it'll be an official release in 11.10, rather than a community port though | 23:08 |
| hiexpo | djiefo, what version ubuntu you using and are you using gnome ? | 23:08 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: copy paste the line i just put here | 23:08 |
| Kroplex | Magentium, thank you that worked. | 23:08 |
| Magentium | Monkeydust, yes but is that for Natty or 10.10 as i do not have Natty installed on this laptop | 23:09 |
| djiefo | xubuntu and i verified if Gnome Comp is on and yes it's on | 23:09 |
| Pirolocito | hello | 23:09 |
| Magentium | hello :) | 23:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: ok, never mind, it's for natty | 23:09 |
| djiefo | xubuntu11 | 23:09 |
| tjiggi_fo | Kroplex, sudo lshw -C Network works better | 23:09 |
| Magentium | I was thinking of doing a new install of Natty on here, but I am thinking that Lubuntu might be a much better choice | 23:10 |
| Magentium | or Fedora | 23:10 |
| Magentium | What do people recommend? I want something that looks good, runs well, is functional | 23:10 |
| hiexpo | djiefo, sorry i am unfamiliar with that version of xubutu | 23:10 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: well, you can do lubuntu Natty... :) | 23:10 |
| ysis | Magentium: I use xubuntu and am pretty satisfied. | 23:10 |
| Magentium | MonkeyDust, what exactly does that command do ? | 23:10 |
| djiefo | could be same moves than ubuntu11 | 23:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: in natty, it sets compiz to defaults | 23:11 |
| Magentium | KM0201 do you think it will fix the problem that i am having though ? seems like its the entire of Natty thought LXDE may actually be better | 23:11 |
| Magentium | MonkeyDust oh okay, thank you :) | 23:11 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: i wasn't aware you were having a problem.. thought you just didn't like the bloat of Unity. | 23:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Magentium: it may work for maverick, but i cannot tell | 23:11 |
| Magentium | KM0201 i like Natty even though its bloated, but icannot run it due to graphical problems | 23:12 |
| Magentium | MonkeyDust yes that commands works in Maverick as well :) | 23:12 |
| paulgulley | Is there an easy way to install gnome via command line? My unity is broken, it seems. | 23:12 |
| Magentium | Okay i am goign to test Natty and install LXDE onto it see if it works better :) | 23:12 |
| cillin | im running virtualbox and 11.04 server as guest, the server can ping anything and reach internet, but how to reach the server? ifconfig in guest gives 10.0.2.15, but thats not reachable | 23:12 |
| KM0201 | Magentium: ok, what happens when you try to start it, you just get dropped to a command prompt or what? | 23:12 |

| doxin | i've got someone leeching my wifi, what to do> | 23:16 |
| doxin | ? | 23:16 |
| ugarte | is it encrypted? | 23:17 |
| th0r | doxin: turn on mac address filtering, enable wpa, | 23:17 |
| qin | doxin: you can monitor it using airodump-ng | 23:17 |
| doxin | th0r: i have wpa, which is the odd thing. | 23:17 |
| th0r | doxin: I don't depend on wpa, always use mac address filtering | 23:17 |
| ugarte | if you dont need wifi now, you could turn it off. they would probably go find somewhere else to leech | 23:19 |
| doxin | th0r: meh, put him on child protection, only 1min allowed a day, that should annoy him away | 23:19 |
| qin | doxin: and eventually spoof intruder :) | 23:19 |
| doxin | qin: upsidedownternet :P | 23:19 |
| roothorick | is the bootsplash not working on nvidia cards a known issue? | 23:20 |
| doxin | qin: problem is that my wifi router aint too advanced. | 23:20 |
| roothorick | also, what's with the ugly burgundy tint in the bootloader? It looks like my monitor has sun damage D: | 23:20 |
| qin | doxin: you do need to have goor wifi card close to ruter, and some time ;) | 23:20 |
| qin | *good | 23:20 |
| doxin | qin: what are you suggesting? | 23:21 |
| qin | qin: airckack-ng as first, arpattack (or whatever), wireshark, ssldump | 23:22 |
| doxin | qin: yeah, hack into my own wifi, sounds like a great way to keep people out :P | 23:22 |
| qin | doxin: It is called offensive security. | 23:22 |

| Afflicto | hey everyone | 23:26 |
| Afflicto | does anyone know how to run minecraft in ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| Kroplex | Afflicto, wine might work | 23:27 |
| Haitham76 | urgent help needed | 23:27 |
| Afflicto | well it is made for linux too | 23:27 |
| rww | Afflicto: download the .jar file from Minecraft's website, install Sun Java, and run it. | 23:27 |
| * KM0201 can't understand what everyone sees in Minecraft | 23:27 | |
| rww | !java | 23:27 |
| 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. | 23:27 |
| Afflicto | ok thanks rww | 23:27 |
| Kroplex | Afflicto, ^ | 23:27 |
| Kroplex | lol | 23:27 |
| adrian15 | !ask | Haitham76 | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Haitham76: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:27 |
| Haitham76 | anyone expert in installing USB dongle for broadband? | 23:27 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: i doubt there's an expert in that field, weren't you here the other day asking this? | 23:28 |
| Haitham76 | no | 23:28 |
| doxin | KM0201, qin: its a fritzbox | 23:28 |
| KM0201 | fritbox? | 23:28 |
| KM0201 | what the.. | 23:28 |
| doxin | fritZbox | 23:28 |
| Haitham76 | but it seems that this is a common problem | 23:28 |
| qin | Haitham76: Start form hardware: is it Huwaii? | 23:28 |
| qin | hm, do not look like right name... | 23:29 |
| doxin | KM0201, qin: fritz!box 7340 | 23:29 |
| KM0201 | doxin: are you in the US? | 23:29 |
| doxin | KM0201: lolno | 23:29 |

| edbian | I am able to torrent when I'm on the LAN at my school but not over wifi. Ideas? | 23:29 |
| KM0201 | doxin: i sincerely doubt tomato or ddwrt would work w/ such an obscure piece of equipment | 23:30 |
| Haitham76 | ok. let me give the info i have. it is a USB dongle that i purchased from an ISP here. i don't know the hardware's name | 23:30 |
| doxin | KM0201: they don't | 23:30 |
| thewanderer1 | hi. should byobu work on a vt100 terminal? | 23:30 |
| tbruff13 | Yes I am having trouble play the online game evony in ubuntu 10.10 | 23:30 |
| qin | Haitham76: lsusb, and paste,ubuntu.com | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | doxin: have you considered purchasing a router from the 20th century? | 23:30 |
| Haitham76 | the driver provided with it says something like iburst | 23:30 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: take a xannex, and do what Haitham76 said, need to figure out what the device is first | 23:31 |
| thewanderer1 | I'm getting strange glitches - byobu's bottom line is printed twice, one over another, and there is some flicker. vt100, 115200 baud | 23:31 |
| KM0201 | woops.... do what qin said.. :) | 23:31 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone have experience with HDA-Analyzer? | 23:31 |
| Haitham76 | guys i'm working on Windows now since i can't connect to the internet from my Ubuntu | 23:32 |

| qin | thewanderer1: Sorry, disregard | 23:33 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: this will be near impossible to help you fix, if you can't get online via Ubuntu | 23:34 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: or at least online from another machine, while sitting in front of your ubuntu machine | 23:34 |
| tbruff13 | evony wont play in chrome or firefox | 23:34 |
| NoPinky | hello | 23:35 |
| maco | Haitham76: usually if you can get a wired connection to your ubuntu, getting wireless drivers becomes a lot easier (There's an automated tool for it that should launch when you plug in) | 23:35 |
| Polah | good evening | 23:35 |
| Haitham76 | ok i'm dual booting on my laptop, i have to reboot to ubuntu. what info do u want to extract from there? lsusb from terminal? | 23:35 |
| rinkukokiri | Can anyone help me decipher the interface for hda-analyzer? | 23:35 |
| NoPinky | can someone please tell me how long the check filesystem will take to check 250gbs of ext2 file system? | 23:35 |
| qin | Haitham76: lshw, lsusb, ifconfig, iwconfig, dmesg (after plug in usb dongle) | 23:36 |
| alessio_alex | Hello, what's the easiest way to make an image of my current Ubuntu (I want to install the same config on a server somewhere, such as Amazon AWS). Thanks | 23:36 |
| NoPinky | there is no progress indicator at all... | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | qin: lol, hope he has a printer | 23:36 |
| qin | KM0201: or good memory | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | lol | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: did you say it came w/ a Linux driver?.. does it have instructions on how to install it? | 23:37 |
| cillin | noone? running 11.04 server as guest on vbox, but how to reach server from network? | 23:38 |

| rinkukokiri | anyone familiar with hda-analyzer and how I can use it to determine my soundcard setup? | 23:39 |
| === mogli is now known as sickfick | ||
| rinkukokiri | Can anyone help me use HDA Analyzer? | 23:44 |
| NoPinky | can someone please tell me how long the check filesystem will take to check 250gbs of ext2 file system? is it more like 3-5hours or rather like less than 1 hour? | 23:44 |
| dah42 | Can someone tell me how many times do Brasero tries to read a scratched dvd's sectors before it gives up and goes to the next? | 23:45 |
| dijonyummy123 | is there a good linux native app similar to adobe lightroom? | 23:45 |
| deuterium | hi, anybody using fail2ban here? | 23:45 |
| deuterium | dijonyummy: hardly | 23:45 |
| dah42 | dijonyummy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=708466 | 23:46 |
| dah42 | dijonyummy, but you can always try to run it trough wine or inside a virtual machine | 23:46 |
| dah42 | dijonyummy, they are both 10-min like procedures | 23:46 |

| palli | Oh right... Ubuntu outconnects to irc.ubuntu.org... am i on freenet ? | 23:47 |
| braiam | where i can found the gstreamer camera conf file? | 23:48 |
| Kroplex2 | hey | 23:48 |
| Haitham76 | back | 23:48 |
| dijonyummy123 | i run it through virtualbox now but a little slow. would it be faster if through wine? | 23:49 |
| rinkukokiri | palli, you are on freenode... | 23:49 |
| Haitham76 | qin? anyone? | 23:49 |
| Haitham76 | i ran lsusb the hardware is Kyocera Corp. iBurst Terminal | 23:50 |
| palli | rinkukokiri, Trying out xchat-gnome for the first time, it hides the sidebar so i could not tell :) | 23:50 |
| rinkukokiri | dijonyummy, "good linux app" and "adobe" are never in the same sentence together | 23:50 |
| rinkukokiri | s/good linux app/good app/ | 23:50 |
| Polah | palli: xchat-gnome? Difference from regular xchat? | 23:50 |
| rinkukokiri | palli, np ;D | 23:50 |
| KM0201 | Polah: xchat doesn't suck? :) | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Polah, i personally can't stand xchat-gnome - but others like it. | 23:51 |
| Polah | KM0201: Use it myself, it's pretty good I thought | 23:51 |
| Polah | ZykoticK9: What's the difference? Different layout/style? | 23:51 |
| KM0201 | Polah: not compared to xchat, but there's certainly a lot worse IRC clients out there | 23:51 |
| dah42 | dijonyummy, keep in mind there are other programs in linux wich do what lightroom does, they are just not bundled in a single package. I might be wrong but an easy browsing trough your Ubuntu Software Center should clear the doubt | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Polah, xchat-for-dummies ;) joking! | 23:51 |
| Polah | KM0201: We all know Mibbit is actually the best irc client. | 23:52 |
| * KM0201 agrees | 23:52 | |
| KM0201 | lol | 23:52 |
| Haitham76 | i need help installing my USB dongle | 23:52 |
| dah42 | are #ubuntu and #ubuntu-unregged 2 different channels? | 23:52 |
| Polah | Haitham76: What kind of dongle? Wi-Fi connector, bluetooth connector, storage drive, something else? | 23:52 |
| palli | Up untill recently i was still an irssi user... guess it is time to upgrade to something from this decade :) | 23:52 |
| * rinkukokiri hates the term 'dongle' | 23:53 | |
| dah42 | palli, the future is console :D | 23:53 |
| Haitham76 | it is a broadband dongle | 23:53 |
| ezl | whats the command to have a program output go to the screen _and_ to a file? | 23:53 |
| KM0201 | dah42: lol, that seems a silly question | 23:53 |
| Haitham76 | Kyocera Corp. iBurst Terminal | 23:53 |
| Polah | dah42: -unregged is the verification channel for users that aren't identified on freenode. Stops bots and spammers and whatnot. | 23:53 |
| rinkukokiri | By definition a dongle is A device that is connected to a computer to allow access to wireless broadband or use of protected software | 23:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | ezl, &> maybe? I don't remember. If you don't get an answer here, ask in #bash | 23:53 |
| dah42 | KM0201, its not clear to me... I am pretty sure they are 2 different channels, but xchat shows I am in 'ubuntu', not 'ubuntu-unregged'... and I am not using a registered nick | 23:54 |
| rinkukokiri | i'm not regged | 23:54 |
| adrian15 | ezl: Check tee command | 23:54 |
| KM0201 | dah42: you'll occasionally (randomly) get kicked into unregged | 23:54 |
| Haitham76 | the driver enclosed is ibdriver 1.2.9 | 23:54 |
| Haitham76 | when i run it in terminal $make it doesn't work | 23:55 |
| dah42 | KM0201, so -unregged is a completely different room (and I am in it), seems clear now (even if I don't understand why xchat labels this as just 'ubuntu' | 23:55 |
| === christian is now known as Guest88502 | ||
| dijonyummy123 | i like xchat, more than mirc which you have to pay for | 23:55 |
| syockit | my chat client shows #ubuntu-unregged in addition to #ubuntu. Am I still in #u-unregged or not? | 23:55 |
| dijonyummy123 | too bad the windows version of xchat isnt up to date | 23:55 |
| rinkukokiri | too bad the windows version of xchat is paid for | 23:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | dijonyummy, more importantly xchat is FAIF, mirc is not. | 23:55 |
| Haitham76 | do i have to install a different or updated ibdriver? | 23:55 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: this is gonna be impossible to help you trouble shoot, when you have to reboot back to ubuntu then back to windows, i don't know what more to tell you | 23:55 |
| rod95 | hi, need some support. my onboard card sound intel ac'97 not working after install 11.04 | 23:56 |
| Haitham76 | ok KM0201 | 23:56 |
| === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler | ||
| dijonyummy123 | anyway do you think lightroom would run faster under wine than under virtualbox. i notice even stuff like web browsing seems noticeably slower under latest virtualbox, even when i give it lots of ram | 23:57 |
| Haitham76 | is there a link that could help me? at least to have an idea of what could be the problem? | 23:57 |
| biberao | oops wrong channel | 23:57 |
| KM0201 | Haitham76: only link i have found that might be helpful, given the limited info you've provided, is this one... http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/archive/index.php/t-82091.html | 23:58 |
