| phong_ | pfifo, what is up? | 00:01 |
| ikeakan | Jordan_U: I understand that it's EOL. The problem is that I don't have a cd or dvd burner, so I can't just install 11.04. I need to somehow force it to upgrade or do an installation of 11.04 without cd. | 00:01 |

| Lown | Hey Guy | 00:03 |
| Lown | Va bene ? | 00:04 |
| Scottamunga | hey what's the package name for the volume control applet in gnome panel? | 00:05 |
| Random832 | Scottamunga: i think it's part of the panel now | 00:05 |
| Random832 | since it's treated as a menu/notification icon thing instead of an applet | 00:05 |
| Scottamunga | Random832: oh, I knew it was in natty, now that they're using unity | 00:06 |
| Scottamunga | I'm still using 2.32 | 00:06 |
| Scottamunga | (on mint 11) | 00:06 |
| Random832 | i think it might have been before that - along with the network status and battery | 00:07 |
| Random832 | and weird envelope thingy | 00:07 |
| Scottamunga | oh, I installed/uninstalled kde, and now the applet is gone | 00:07 |
| Scottamunga | lol | 00:07 |
| Scottamunga | thank ya | 00:08 |
| RevSpecies116 | Scottamunga: perhaps if you: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop The notification may come back? | 00:08 |

| djiefo | Hi, I want to install Adobe Shockwave Player, is it possible through xubuntu 11.04? | 00:15 |
| ErrorException | @djiefo I believe that adobe develops for linux in general, so maybe. | 00:15 |
| lazart | djief: look for "flash player" in the software center | 00:16 |
| nosmelc | Why is it that LibreOffice has Base greyed out for me? The LibreOffice channel says it's not a LO problem | 00:17 |
| silit_gembuk | OPEN OFFICE vs LIBRE OFFICE, which one is better???? | 00:17 |
| === un_golan is now known as honestman | ||
| lazart | djief: or flash plugin nonfree | 00:18 |
| lazart | djief: but you have to enable restricted repositories | 00:18 |
| nosmelc | silit_gembuk: there seems to be more development for LO right now. I switched to it from OO | 00:18 |
| rww | nosmelc: because you don't have it installed, perhaps? Try installing the libreoffice-base package. | 00:18 |
| rww | (it's not installed by default) | 00:19 |
| djiefo | ErrorException, i don't find any link on shockwave main site | 00:19 |
| nosmelc | rww: ohh ok. I thought it would be there by default. Thanks | 00:19 |
| silit_gembuk | <nosmelc> i'm using LO,, but it slowly rather tahn OO | 00:20 |
| ErrorException | @djiefo Do you have Wine? You could install the windows version through it. | 00:21 |
| djiefo | ErrorException, it will works fine in Firefox? | 00:22 |
| ErrorException | @djiefo Maybe not in Firefox, i found a linux shockwave player called Gnash. Try looking into that | 00:23 |
| Jon-- | I changed my settings back to default in Compiz and now I have multiple workspaces but they are all considered to be on the same desktop (ie from wmctrl -l). I use scripts that rely on moving open applications between workspaces, and they are now broken. Any ideas? | 00:23 |

| captainjamie | Hello everyone! Does anyone know if Ubuntu will run on a tablet with multi-touch? | 00:25 |
| RevSpecies116 | captainjamie: yes, and no | 00:26 |
| captainjamie | what's the yes? | 00:26 |
| ErrorException | @djiefo I do not have a shockwave player, let me try gnash out first. | 00:26 |
| RevSpecies116 | Have you jailbroken your tablet? | 00:26 |
| captainjamie | I don't have one yet, I'm buying one for Uni | 00:26 |
| captainjamie | wondering which to buy... | 00:26 |
| RevSpecies116 | Well, if you have an Android based tablet [when you buy it], the best community to answer that question is XDA | 00:27 |
| captainjamie | XDA? google... | 00:27 |
| RevSpecies116 | www.xda-developers.com/ <-- That link, captainjamie | 00:28 |
| captainjamie | Ah thanks! | 00:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | No troubles :) Oh, and captainjamie if you have a good Android smartphone [like a Nexus 1], you can install Ubuntu on that, too | 00:29 |
| RevSpecies116 | But that is next to useless, due to the size of the screen - but non-the-less it can be done ;) | 00:29 |
| captainjamie | like this you mean? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-desire-hd-booting-ubuntu-natively/ this is a good site | 00:29 |
| captainjamie | but on an android tablet you think it'd work and be ok? | 00:30 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep, captainjamie :) But there is still some concern that is a 'fake' - most Ubuntu running on Android is via Chroot | 00:30 |
| captainjamie | Chroot? | 00:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | Ubuntu CAN run, and has been shown to run, but via chroot, not nativly | 00:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | I don't know chroot, sorry | 00:31 |
| EastDallas | is there a repository that has older versions of the jre, or do I have to build them? | 00:31 |
| captainjamie | What's so bad about chroot? (or should I just spend some more time on wikipedia?) | 00:33 |
| DevilSolution | hi | 00:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | Nothing 'bad' at all about chroot or chmod - but you just have to be able to have root access to your tablet - and that means voiding your warrenty | 00:34 |
| silit_gembuk | wow,,, really? ubuntu can run on smartphone? | 00:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep, silit_gembuk :) | 00:34 |
| silit_gembuk | how? | 00:34 |
| captainjamie | oh that's fine, i'd void warranty to get ubuntu! | 00:34 |
| silit_gembuk | my phone is symbian, can it? | 00:34 |
| silit_gembuk | <<<<< now listening : Slaves of Pain ^^ | 00:35 |
| RevSpecies116 | Android only, silit_gembuk | 00:35 |
| silit_gembuk | ooo | 00:36 |
| EastDallas | OK, how about this...can someone tell me how to install an older version of the JRE. I've tried multiple times, but still only have one choice when I sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:36 |
| silit_gembuk | how bout galaxy mini? it android too... | 00:36 |

| RevSpecies116 | silit_gembuk: check www.xda-developers.com/ for your phone and ask there :) | 00:36 |
| captainjamie | So can you (or anyone) recommend a cheap but good tablet? | 00:37 |
| djiefo | How can I use Shockwave Player in firefox... Shockwave Player as no linux version | 00:37 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: you can't | 00:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | EastDallas: You either have to compile your own version that is the 'older' one, OR find a repo that has what you want from there\ | 00:37 |
| silit_gembuk | all phone that listed in xdadeveloper can be install ubuntu???? | 00:37 |

| === milind is now known as jhankay | ||
| KM0201 | oops... see above djiefo | 00:38 |
| RevSpecies116 | silit_gembuk: Best ask that question on the XDA forum :) | 00:38 |
| EastDallas | OK...I've compiled older versions multiple times in /opt and still only get one option when I run sudo update-alternatives --config java | 00:38 |
| EastDallas | RevSpecies116: | 00:38 |
| EastDallas | RevSpecies116: one option of the sun jre | 00:39 |
| RevSpecies116 | Ahhh, EastDallas... The solution to that is beyond me then :( | 00:39 |
| djiefo | KM0201, ok thx | 00:39 |
| EastDallas | there's usually over 1000 people in this channel, I can't believe no one here knows | 00:40 |
| EastDallas | thanks anyway RevSpecies116 | 00:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | EastDallas: No troubles - good hunting for a solution :) | 00:40 |
| djiefo | KM0201, i've seen this website and I dont understand the part it says to Add the following two lines to the end of the file... add to what? | 00:41 |
| solteiro2 | Hi I need help to create a User in my ubuntu linux to let the folks at my house or using a password and tals with a friend ... I wonder why I created using the command sudo adduser | 00:41 |
| solteiro2 | and when he went to boot error gave so much! pq this as I do? | 00:41 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: when you run the previous command "gksudo gedit /etc/mozpluggerrc" it will open up a text file... add them to that file | 00:42 |
| RevSpecies116 | djiefo: The end of this file: /etc/mozpluggerrc | 00:42 |
| c2tarun | solteiro2, why did you used adduser? and I guess there is nothing like adduser, why didn't you use GUI? | 00:42 |
| * c2tarun hell there is also an adduser :P | 00:43 | |
| c2tarun | solteiro2, but adduser is for adding user to a group and not for creating accoutns | 00:44 |
| Jon-- | I changed my settings back to default in Compiz and now I have multiple workspaces but they are all considered to be on the same desktop (ie from wmctrl -l). I use scripts that rely on moving open applications between workspaces, and they are now broken. Any ideas? | 00:44 |
| ImDexter | can anyone help me with springs? I have compiled it, but, even bein GIT, I cannot connect to any online game | 00:44 |
| bazhang | Jon--, try in #compiz as well | 00:44 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: springRTS? | 00:44 |
| ImDexter | yes | 00:45 |
| RevSpecies116 | Have you checked for a solution: http://springrts.com/phpbb/ <-- there, ImDexter | 00:45 |
| solteiro2 | how do I can create accounts?! | 00:45 |
| RevSpecies116 | solteiro2: Ubuntu version? | 00:46 |
| Flannel | solteiro2: adduser, or Users and Groups in the gui. | 00:46 |
| djiefo | KM0201, http://paste.ubuntu.com/618675/ | 00:46 |
| solteiro2 | then what the correct command to create an account | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | solars: menu/users and groups? | 00:46 |
| === DevilSolution is now known as Stalin_Cat | ||
| solteiro2 | Linux solteiro2 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: did the gksudo command, open a text file? | 00:46 |
| c2tarun | Flannel, adduser is for adding users to groups and not for creating accounts | 00:46 |
| RevSpecies116 | solteiro2: Unknown, but there is a GUI solution. Do you not have access to the Ubuntu interface? | 00:46 |
| KM0201 | it should have | 00:47 |
| djiefo | KM0201, no | 00:47 |
| === Stalin_Cat is now known as DevilSolution | ||
| solteiro2 | yes | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: i don't see how it couldn't have | 00:47 |
| rww | c2tarun: it does both, actually | 00:47 |
| Flannel | c2tarun: It's for creating accounts and adding users to groups. | 00:47 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: Another thing: ATi or nVidia card while running SpringRTS on Ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| ImDexter | nvidia | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: even if the file didn't exist, it would open a blank file | 00:47 |
| djiefo | look output above | 00:47 |
| KM0201 | i see the output, but it seems it should stoill open the file. | 00:48 |
| c2tarun | rww, Flannel : then I guess man page is incomplete :( | 00:48 |
| bcj1 | Are any of the Ubuntu media players actually able to get track info/album art properly? Tried Sound Juicer and Rhythmbox, but neither understands my CD, even though it's on MusicBrainz | 00:48 |
| Flannel | c2tarun: See the first two examples in the manpage | 00:48 |
| djiefo | KM0201, where its supposed to create a file? | 00:48 |
| c2tarun | rww but why do they need two commands useradd and adduser for same purpose? | 00:48 |
| rww | c2tarun: the /first line/ of the manpage is "adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system" | 00:48 |
| Flannel | c2tarun: useradd is low level, adduser is highlevel. | 00:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: Sorry for the questions, but they are important :) Nouveau or Proprietary driver for your graphics? | 00:49 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: it should create that /etc/mozpluggercc.. or whatever it ws | 00:49 |
| c2tarun | Flannel, what do you mean by low and high level in commands? | 00:49 |
| solteiro2 | humm | 00:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | solteiro2: On your top panel, you should have the 'system' menu | 00:49 |
| KM0201 | djiefo: dunno, maybre those instructions don't work w/ 11.04 | 00:49 |
| Flannel | c2tarun: useradd does nothing for you except what you tell it (and only what you tell it), adduser is a bit more userfriendly. | 00:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | And I believe then you goto Administration, solteiro2 | 00:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | And then I believe you go to 'Add users and groups' | 00:50 |
| Flannel | c2tarun: Even higher level would be the GUI version, because it abstracts away even more by default | 00:50 |
| solteiro2 | yeah | 00:50 |
| solteiro2 | ;D | 00:50 |
| solteiro2 | Ty | 00:50 |
| solteiro2 | RevSpecies116, ty | 00:50 |
| solteiro2 | :D | 00:51 |
| RevSpecies116 | solteiro2: No troubles :) | 00:51 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116, afraid dont understand the question, nvidia driver version 270.41.19 | 00:51 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: No troubles, looks like you are running the driver provided by nVidia, and not the opensource driver :) | 00:52 |
| djiefo | KM0201, whats /etc/ folder? | 00:52 |
| djiefo | KM0201, i dont find it | 00:52 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies, the only thing I can suggest now, ImDexter is going to the springRTS forum and ask there | 00:52 |
| RevSpecies116 | I know several dev's of springRTS do use ubuntu | 00:53 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, did you install it via synaptic? software sources? | 00:53 |

| bazhang | !software > mageranger211 | 00:54 |
| ubottu | mageranger211, please see my private message | 00:54 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, git? stable tar.gz? | 00:54 |
| crash0verride | installation is more simple than windows!;p | 00:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | I added the spring repo then did: sudo aptitude install spring [I use aptitude, dislike apt-get, and will be adding aptitude as an option when 12.04LTS comes around] | 00:54 |
| Jon-- | Where can I find the settings for how many desktops I am using in Ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| edbian | Jon--: Are you using unity? | 00:55 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, care to share the spring repo? you mean ppa, right? | 00:55 |
| bazhang | Jon--, workspaces? or the cube thing for compiz | 00:55 |
| brewster | how do i make it so that the side bar in natty hides when im not using it? | 00:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | Repo is kept up to date, ImDexter - so no need to compile your own springRTS | 00:55 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Ubuntu 10.04 GNOME | 00:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | ppa, yep | 00:55 |
| edbian | Jon--: Running compiz? | 00:55 |
| ImDexter | then im going to do the same, <RevSpecies116> | 00:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | Let me go get the ppa I use (straight from the springRTS iki) | 00:55 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Yes | 00:55 |
| edbian | Jon--: Do you have ccsm? (This probably doesn't feel like progress but it is) | 00:56 |
| basilfaulty | hi ubuntu... I just stopped in to say how awesome you are.. that is all | 00:56 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone know of an app like audiogalaxy for ubuntu ? | 00:56 |
| Jon-- | edbian, the settings manager? Yes. I am asking about DESKTOPS though, not workspaces. AFAIK compiz only changes # of workspaces. | 00:56 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, then I should get rid of my manually compiled spring, right? | 00:56 |
| edbian | Jon--: ... I'm not sure I know the difference. What do you mean then? | 00:57 |
| brewster | rinkukokiri: google osalt | 00:57 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep, ImDexter | 00:57 |
| ImDexter | fine <RevSpecies116>, im doing it your way | 00:57 |
| brewster | stands for open source alternative | 00:57 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Let me explain briefly then, the issue I am having is: | 00:57 |
| Jon-- | I changed my settings back to default in Compiz and now I have multiple workspaces but they are all considered to be on the same desktop (ie from wmctrl -l). I use scripts that rely on moving open applications between workspaces, and they are now broken. Any ideas? | 00:57 |
| RevSpecies116 | :) ImDexter :) | 00:57 |
| edbian | Jon--: aaaa, very interesting. I've often wondered about this. | 00:58 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, i have already compiled it twice, to get the same error | 00:58 |
| Jon-- | Someone stated in #compiz : "Jon--: Compiz only uses one desktop", Then asked "Jon--: What do you have set for desktop size in general options?" | 00:58 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: I'll get you the repo - just finding it | 00:58 |
| RevSpecies116 | :) | 00:58 |
| bazhang | !equivalents > rinkukokiri | 00:58 |
| ubottu | rinkukokiri, please see my private message | 00:58 |
| RevSpecies116 | https://launchpad.net/~spring <--the launchpad page for springRTS [not the repo/ppa] ImDexter | 00:59 |
| edbian | Jon--: Let me tell you everything I know. Workspace and Desktop are interchangeable terms. Gnome has workspaces. When they wrote compiz they decided (for some reason) to re-implement the workspaces on top of gnome. They tell gnome there is one and handle things from there. That is why the gnome-applet can't alter the number of workspaces while compiz is running and why you need to use ccsm to do it. | 00:59 |
| rinkukokiri | neither message helps | 00:59 |
| brewster | anyone know how to make the sidebar in unity autohide? | 00:59 |
| rinkukokiri | thanks though | 00:59 |
| bazhang | rinkukokiri, there may not be one then | 01:00 |
| edbian | Jon--: Having said this. I'm not sure how to get some random 3rd party app to see that there really are e.g. 4 desktops when using compiz. They will see one. The gnome-panel applet is a special case I think that the compiz developers took into account? I'm guessing at this point | 01:00 |
| Jon-- | edbian, they used to see them as unique | 01:00 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:spring/ppa | 01:00 |
| edbian | Jon--: 'They' being what? | 01:00 |
| Jon-- | wmctrl -l listed windows on different workspaces as having their different (and proper) desktop ids | 01:01 |
| Jon-- | It's when I went into my settings and changed my Appearance settings that it started to fail on me again | 01:01 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, wait i am still deleting | 01:01 |
| DevilSolution | using a high definition monitor and got this error trying to install an eclipse package with -f too | 01:02 |

| Jon-- | Is it possible to have certain compiz plugins working if compiz isn't running? I'd think not.. I don't think I've suddenly enabled it and it wasn't before, pretty sure I've had it on this whole time | 01:02 |
| RevSpecies116 | No troubles, ImDexter :) | 01:02 |
| edbian | Jon--: What appearance setting did you change? | 01:02 |
| bazhang | DevilSolution, pastebin the whole error please | 01:02 |
| DevilSolution | k | 01:02 |
| Jon-- | edbian, system->preferences->appearance-> visual effects | 01:03 |
| edbian | Jon--: Oh you turned them on. In answer to your question. You cannot have some plugins on without having compiz-core on. | 01:03 |
| edbian | Jon--: Perhaps wmctrl is controlling the wrong window manager? | 01:03 |
| Jon-- | But some you can? | 01:04 |
| DevilSolution | http://pastebin.com/fTSxQ0Fs | 01:04 |
| edbian | Jon--: No. If any compiz plugin is on then compiz as a whole must be running. | 01:04 |
| boodieman | brewster - http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity | 01:04 |
| Jon-- | edbian, No, it lists the correct windows, just everything is -1 if it has no physical window (like panel edges) or 0. Nothing else. | 01:04 |
| edbian | Jon--: There is compiz and there is metacity (up until now we called this 'gnome') metacity is the actual name of the window manager in gnome | 01:04 |
| Jon-- | It used to be zero indexed through all my workspaces | 01:05 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, I have deleted every spring file found, including my manual compilation, and I have added those 2 ppa lines to my software sources | 01:05 |
| bazhang | DevilSolution, why the -f ? was there some issue earlier? | 01:05 |
| bazhang | ImDexter, so sudo apt-get update , then install the package | 01:06 |
| edbian | Jon--: wmctrl -d ? | 01:06 |

| edbian | Jon--: We have similar output. What (actually) are you trying to do? | 01:06 |
| DevilSolution | bazhang, eclipse failed to install because it said it needed this package | 01:06 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: if you open a terminal and type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:spring/ppa | 01:07 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Use wmctrl -R to move a window to my current workspace. Used to work. Now it fails (as everything is on 0) | 01:07 |
| bazhang | DevilSolution, try purging that package and reinstalling? it seems to be corrupted if that error message is any indication | 01:07 |
| edbian | Jon--: I see. Hang on. | 01:07 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: It will add the repo to your sources with out you haveint to edit it, and will get to gpg's too | 01:07 |

| notNicolas | Hi everyone. I want to install Ubuntu on a notebook PC currently running windows. When I download Ubuntu from the website, it always downloads the desktop version. Is this version appropriate for notebook PCs? | 01:08 |
| ImDexter | gpg: requesting key 8670A035 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com | 01:08 |
| ImDexter | gpg: key 8670A035: "Launchpad PPA for Spring developers" not changed | 01:08 |
| ImDexter | gpg: Total number processed: 1 | 01:08 |
| ImDexter | gpg: unchanged: 1 | 01:08 |
| edbian | Jon--: There must be some way because of the right click menu on the titlebar of an app | 01:08 |
| bazhang | notNicolas, sure, its one size fits all now | 01:08 |
| DaGeek247_ | notNicolas: it works fine, but netbook version is more adapted to smaller screens | 01:08 |
| ImDexter | for your command, <RevSpecies116 | 01:08 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: the repo is install correctly, then :) | 01:08 |
| bazhang | DaGeek247_, netbook version is gone. | 01:08 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Agreed. | 01:08 |
| DaGeek247_ | ! | 01:08 |

| Jon-- | of is wmctrl* | 01:09 |
| boodieman | notNicola - Now I think it its Desktop vs Server | 01:09 |
| DaGeek247_ | o | 01:09 |
| RevSpecies116 | Then, as long as you have sudo apt-get update, and sudo apt-get upgrade, you can then do sudo apt-get install spring | 01:09 |
| DaGeek247_ | wow, | 01:09 |
| notNicolas | Sooo do I get desktop? | 01:10 |
| boodieman | notNicolas yes | 01:10 |
| alexCoder | someone uses xubuntu? | 01:10 |
| notNicolas | Alright then. Thank you. | 01:10 |
| bazhang | alexCoder, whats the question | 01:10 |
| paulharrghis | what excuse do I give my friends so I can leave and go play with Ubuntu? | 01:10 |
| notNicolas | is 64 bit stable? | 01:10 |
| bazhang | notNicolas, yes | 01:11 |
| rww | notNicolas: yes | 01:11 |
| paulharrghis | notNicolas : very | 01:11 |
| bazhang | paulharrghis, #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:11 |
| notNicolas | why is 32 recommended? | 01:11 |
| boodieman | notNicolas, I still use the 32bit version | 01:11 |
| alexCoder | i have a problem D: | 01:11 |
| rww | notNicolas: because 64-bit computers can run 32-bit Ubuntu, but not the other way around | 01:11 |
| alexCoder | with my keyboard | 01:11 |
| RevSpecies116 | Also, here: http://springrts.com/wiki/Ubuntu_install ImDexter :) | 01:11 |
| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, im sorry, but what do i have to do after apt get upgrade? | 01:11 |
| edbian | Jon--: Here's some stuff. Apparently compiz uses viewports which I guess is different from desktops / workspaces. http://superuser.com/questions/264281/wmctrl-says-i-have-one-workspace-when-i-actually-have-four | 01:11 |
| notNicolas | Alright. Thanks. | 01:11 |

| === DaGeek247_ is now known as DaGeek247 | ||
| alexCoder | why my keyboard changes the configuration all time? | 01:11 |
| boodieman | notNicolas, you only really need 64bit if you have more than 4GB of RAM | 01:12 |
| bazhang | alexCoder, no idea, without more info | 01:12 |
| alexCoder | but then i press Ctrl + Esc and everything is ok | 01:12 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Well, clearly there IS some way of having it working, as I did at one point WITH Compiz, until I modified that setting | 01:12 |
| paulharrghis | boodieman : I thought it was 3gb | 01:12 |
| notNicolas | I have 2 lol | 01:12 |
| notNicolas | but my computer is running 64 bit windodws 7 | 01:12 |
| RevSpecies116 | just this, ImDexter: sudo apt-get install spring spring-maps-default | 01:12 |
| notNicolas | *Windows 7 | 01:12 |

| bazhang | paulharrghis, more than 4 | 01:12 |
| boodieman | notNicolas, so is mine | 01:13 |
| edbian | Jon--: Did you switch the settings in system -> preferences -> apperances from 'None' to 'Extra' or.... ? | 01:13 |
| Jon-- | edbian, none to Normal | 01:13 |
| RevSpecies116 | But not sure how much that download size is, ImDexter | 01:13 |
| Jon-- | Compiz was running before though, I was using several of the plugins ? | 01:13 |
| edbian | Jon--: If it was on 'none' compiz was not on. Which explains why it was working. | 01:13 |
| bazhang | alexCoder, here and not PM please | 01:13 |
| edbian | Jon--: What plugins were you running? | 01:13 |
| boodieman | notNicolas, if you don't have more than 4GB of RAM you can use either, if you have more you should use 64bit or you won't see all of it | 01:14 |
| alexCoder | sorry haha | 01:14 |
| mindwarp | Hi, I have a problem with jsMath. I have installed ttf-jsmath, the latest version (in natty) which supposedly includes all the extra fonts. However it does not include jsMath-cmmib10.ttf -- I downloaded and installed that one manually. I followed the instructions to install new fonts, running mkfontscale, mkfontdir, fc-cache, etc. -- however that font is still not recognized either in firefox or chromium. The font is in the same directory as the other | 01:14 |
| Jon-- | Commands, Viewpoint switcher, desktop wall | 01:14 |
| alexCoder | who uses Xubuntu 11.04? | 01:14 |
| notNicolas | Ok, thanks for your help! | 01:14 |

| 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 | 01:14 |

| RevSpecies116 | zanzee, how to get the sound prefs up in a GUI in xubutu? | 01:19 |
| edbian | Jon--: But you're reporting the desktop changing animation is not working. I would be very much interested to see the switch set to None, compiz not running, and desktop wall working. | 01:19 |
| Jon-- | edbian, Then why are my commands and viewpoint switching still working, and why did I have Compiz's Desktop Wall before, with all my settings working, and now I do not? | 01:19 |
| zanzee | i haven't used xfs much | 01:19 |
| edbian | Jon--: You can switch desktops with or without compiz. | 01:20 |
| zanzee | but make sure your sound card isn't muted, a lot are by default after a freash install | 01:20 |
| RevSpecies116 | There IS a huge difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu from a support perspective | 01:20 |
| edbian | Jon--: The commands are working becuase compiz is not running | 01:20 |
| RevSpecies116 | No two ways about that, zanzee | 01:20 |
| Jon-- | I meant that Compiz command plugin and viewpoint switcher plugin are running | 01:20 |
| edbian | Jon--: I believe you were mistaken before. I don't think the wmctrl command work while compiz is running. | 01:20 |
| mrdeb | why would you get an input output error when copying a cd | 01:20 |
| mrdeb | it's an audio cd | 01:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: Everything running smoothly thus far? | 01:21 |

| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116, im reloading sources | 01:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies :) | 01:21 |
| zanzee | you can check your sound mixer from the command line | 01:22 |

| ImDexter | <RevSpecies116>, apply icons dont work, I can only close the window withpout changing or saving anything | 01:40 |
| Tros | srm: Yeah! I thought Ubuntu was pushing for some serious progress! Shoot :[ | 01:40 |
| rozander1 | hey guys | 01:41 |
| rozander1 | can someone please help me install a driver from the file on a Cd..would be much apprevioated | 01:41 |
| rozander1 | appreciated | 01:41 |
| Tros | srm: I also though way back, there was "no more xorg.conf" to fix monitors! And that's pretty awesome! But now I can't figure out how to force a resolution or overscan compensate if I dont' have NVidia's drivers (which I cannot.) | 01:42 |
| srm | rozander1, more details needed. what driver, why do you need to install it and what does "from the file on a cd" mean. | 01:42 |
| eloystebam | spanish? | 01:42 |
| eloystebam | spanish? | 01:42 |
| srm | Tros, I had big troubles with the proprietary Nvidia driver and TwinView, this is just broken. I've moved to xrandr and nuvou and I'm pretty happy. | 01:42 |
| rozander1 | srm..its a wireless card driver and is unsupported by unbuntu ouit of the box...however the cd has a linux file on their to install the driver and i need it becouse i want the internet without wires heh | 01:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: does spring run with a terminal command of just : spring | 01:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | ? | 01:43 |

| Guest65324 | KM0201, http://pastebin.com/abwerpMd | 01:45 |
| Guest65324 | looks like it answered the problem for me | 01:46 |

| boxbeatsy | hi, how can i display the user who is running the tasks that show up with ps ax? | 01:46 |
| Guest65324 | but we both learned :) | 01:47 |
| RevSpecies116 | So give this a try: sudo apt-get install spring-engine | 01:47 |
| Guest65324 | so that good | 01:47 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:47 |
| rozander1 | boxbeatsy...what do you mean ps ax | 01:47 |
| KM0201 | Guest65324: now as long as it works.. :) | 01:47 |

| joseph_ | this fucking cock sucking Ylmf OS still has that shit chinese. Those sons of a bitch needs to fuck them selves!! | 01:48 |
| KM0201 | joseph_: not here | 01:48 |
| KM0201 | .. | 01:48 |
| Guest65324 | KM0201, that's what I'm about to determine | 01:48 |
| KM0201 | lol | 01:48 |
| boxbeatsy | rozander1: i'm listing all current processes running by executing 'ps ax', but how do i show the user that is running all those processes? | 01:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | ImDexter: I also would have no idea how to get rid of the old entry :( | 01:48 |
| rozander1 | are you trying to view the users on a network | 01:48 |
| Guest65324 | KM0201, and it sure did work | 01:49 |
| Guest65324 | :) | 01:49 |
| joseph_ | What happened? | 01:49 |
| * Guest65324 was not aware a user could remove a huber file | 01:49 | |
| KM0201 | Guest65324: great... terminal is weird like that, it'll often tell you what you have to do. | 01:49 |
| boxbeatsy | rozander1: mm i don't think so. im just trying to see which user on my computer is running mysql | 01:49 |
| bazhang | joseph_, no cursing, watch the attitude | 01:49 |
| srm | rozander1, is that the output from lspci? | 01:49 |
| w30 | ps aux | 01:49 |
| Guest65324 | huber=hiber file | 01:49 |
| Guest65324 | as in hibernation file | 01:50 |
| KM0201 | yup | 01:50 |
| rozander1 | srm no thats the model number from the cd supplied | 01:50 |
| Guest65324 | coolness, well I'm off to find some other problem to fret about thanks again | 01:50 |
| w30 | boxbeatsy, ps aux | 01:50 |
| Guest65324 | :) | 01:50 |
| rozander1 | ya ps aux | 01:50 |
| srm | rozander1, check out what lspci has to say. I found "The chipset of EW-7612pin is RTL8191SE" here "http://newsgroupstats.info/article/forums.novell.com/opensuse.org.help.network-internet.wireless/15496/Edimax-wiFi-cards.html" | 01:50 |
| joseph_ | I was just stating that this ***** Ylmf OS still has chinese in it! | 01:50 |
| srm | rozander1, can't be of any more help. I've just fiddled with the BCM firmware | 01:50 |
| boxbeatsy | ah, thanks! | 01:50 |
| bazhang | joseph_, stop it. thats not supported here. try their support. | 01:51 |
| rozander1 | srm alreet thanks..although this should be the right driver...theirs a makefile ect | 01:51 |
| joseph_ | cant fint it, itś based on ubunto | 01:51 |
| rozander1 | should i not just like install it | 01:51 |
| RevSpecies116 | joseph_: Xubuntu is also based on Ubuntu, but it is not supported here | 01:52 |
| srm | rozander1, if there's no manual on how to install it and you don't know how to install it....how would you install it? ^^ | 01:52 |
| bazhang | joseph_, it's supposed to be CHinese. take it elsewhere as it's NOT supported. | 01:52 |
| bazhang | RevSpecies116, sure it is. | 01:52 |
| srm | rozander1, these may be kernel modules to be compiled and added to the bootup scripts | 01:52 |
| rozander1 | haha srm is their not a standard procedure...like cd to directory and do something to the makefule.. | 01:52 |
| joseph_ | ok, then let me ask you this, what is the best Linux to use for beginners? | 01:52 |
| rozander1 | their is also a .tar.gx | 01:52 |
| bazhang | joseph_, #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:53 |
| aeon-ltd | joseph_: define beginner | 01:53 |
| rozander1 | i mean .tar.gz | 01:53 |
| srm | rozander1, no, usually you compile kernel modules and add them to the appropriate scripts to be loaded at boot time | 01:53 |
| rozander1 | hmm then would it be easier to use ndiswrapper maybe ? | 01:53 |
| srm | rozander1, no idea. I'm not that strong with this hardware stuff. | 01:53 |
| rozander1 | hm i do have a manual | 01:53 |
| rozander1 | should i pm it you and see if you can make anymore of it than i can | 01:54 |
| joseph_ | someone that doesn know how to install anything with terminal or even use the terminal. | 01:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | bazhang: The words were too defined, I ment to say: Some Xubuntu methodologies are not supported here: like the lack of ability to follow the instructions to goto System->Preferences->sound, when Xubuntu doesn't have that option ;) | 01:54 |
| srm | yeah, why rozander1 | 01:54 |
| KM0201 | joseph_: ubuntu is fine for beginners, it has a lot of GUI tools, and requires little command line, unless you just want to use it. | 01:55 |
| === improveupon is now known as wirrr | ||
| joseph_ | is there a version thatś simalar to XP? | 01:55 |
| joseph_ | window? | 01:55 |
| bazhang | joseph_, no | 01:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | joseph_: Best to stick to windows if you want XP | 01:55 |
| aeon-ltd | joseph_: making something look like windows but not work like windows is more confusing than something new | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | exactly joseph_ if you want windows. ... nobody does windows better than Microsoft | 01:56 |
| joseph_ | Ylmf, looks just like it, if it wasn for the chinese! it would be great | 01:56 |
| aeon-ltd | KM0201: my contractor does | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | joseph_: looking like it, and acting like it.... are very different | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | aeon-ltd: ;) touche' | 01:56 |
| bazhang | thats neither here nor there joseph_ it's not supported here, let's move on. | 01:56 |
| zanzee | I need some help with samba it keeps locking my home server hard | 01:57 |
| joseph_ | thatś true and I can't afford windows. so I guess ubuntu would be the best. | 01:57 |
| ExtractBeliefs | heh | 01:58 |
| === wirrr is now known as improveupon | ||
| joseph_ | now ubuntu has several distros, which is the best? I don't like the applications on the top of my screen, any with the menu on left corner? | 01:58 |
| bazhang | there is not a best joseph_ try which one you like and use it. | 01:59 |
| zanzee | you can change the panels to your liking | 01:59 |
| bazhang | zanzee, not with unity, at least not yet | 01:59 |
| zanzee | I've switched back to classic myself, the new interface is silly at best | 01:59 |
| zanzee | unity just annoyes me | 01:59 |
| RevSpecies116 | I love the idea of Unity :) | 02:00 |
| zanzee | unity is great for my grama | 02:00 |
| intx | i can't get AMDOverdrivectrl to compile: CAppProfilePanel.cpp:(.text+0x1c4a): undefined reference to `std::_List_node_base::_M_unhook()', anyone know why? | 02:00 |
| joseph_ | ok thank you. | 02:00 |
| zanzee | unity for my tablet is awsome | 02:00 |
| joseph_ | bye and sorry for the cursing, even though it was funny. ha | 02:01 |
| zanzee | but not a server / desktop | 02:01 |
| srm | yeah, a lot to improve on unity, but a cool step in the right direction. | 02:01 |
| zanzee | im more than happy with stock gdm | 02:02 |
| RevSpecies116 | I'm sure Unity will be got right by 12.04LTS\ | 02:02 |
| zanzee | haha | 02:02 |
| RevSpecies116 | I think by 14.04LTS Weyland will be in | 02:02 |

| MrBushido | is there a single source for port names or are they defined at the descretion of the app? e.g. some apps lets you define a port as "ssh" and it resolves it to port 22. Is there a way to reconfigure this so that ssh refers to port 45432 or whatver? | 02:05 |
| smokeycastle | question, if you ssh to a computer, then ssh from that computer to another computer, then rip a website for offline viewing is that next to nearly impossible to trace? | 02:06 |
| RevSpecies116 | smokeycastle: No | 02:06 |
| The_Letter_M | lol | 02:06 |
| srm | MrBushido, you have to give a parameter to the sshd or your ssh client to use another port. Names are just made-up things. | 02:07 |
| smokeycastle | how do you track something like that? | 02:07 |
| smokeycastle | logs on the servers? | 02:07 |
| aeon-ltd | smokeycastle: ok, since you ( i assume) own both these computers it would trace to a location/area where you live | 02:07 |
| smokeycastle | yes but they would think it was ze other pc right? | 02:08 |
| th0r | MrBushido: the first 1024 I think are assigned. There are websites with the list of assigned port numbers. But to answer your question, yes, you can change the port ssh listens on | 02:08 |
| RevSpecies116 | smokeycastle: Unfortunatly your query is BEYOND how this channel can help you. Sorry... | 02:08 |
| aeon-ltd | smokeycastle: you use public proxies available in other countries, then it traces back there a'ight | 02:08 |
| srm | The ports are only assigned by convention/standard. | 02:08 |
| aeon-ltd | smokeycastle: but you own these to do ssh? ........ | 02:08 |
| smokeycastle | i currently own two linux boxes. | 02:08 |
| smokeycastle | I have no real desire to do it im just trying to understand how ssh works | 02:08 |
| bazhang | smokeycastle, actual ubuntu support question? | 02:09 |
| RevSpecies116 | Perhaps there is a channel dedicated to help with ssh, smokeycastle | 02:09 |
| aeon-ltd | smokeycastle: for ssh? therefore you must own the building/house they are in - that info can be used | 02:09 |
| MrBushido | srm: yah, i get that much. but say when i use iptables i can configure it to accept incoming connections from ssh with "-p tcp --dport ssh", but ssh is assumed to be 22 by iptables | 02:09 |
| srm | MrBushido, right. If you use another port for your sshd you'd have to specify the port directly in the rule | 02:09 |
| smokeycastle | wait this is the ubuntu irc channel? | 02:09 |
| aeon-ltd | yes | 02:10 |
| bazhang | yes smokeycastle | 02:10 |
| rewt | MrBushido: /etc/services | 02:10 |
| duckspeaker | lulz | 02:10 |
| smokeycastle | oh sorry, i thought this was the #linux on irc.rizon.net | 02:10 |
| srm | MrBushido, iptables would resolve 'ssh' to the standard port 22 (as pointed out by t0h and rewt) | 02:10 |
| duckspeaker | i'm picturing smokeycastle walking back slowly | 02:10 |
| MrBushido | srm: ok, just wondered if it was possible to name the port rather than use a number. Makes it easier to read at a later date once the iptables config is a little more messy ^_^ | 02:10 |
| smokeycastle | using irc in bash is confusing | 02:10 |
| srm | rewt, are you saying that iptables would use /etc/services to resolve the name? thought that is hardcoded in the app | 02:11 |
| bazhang | smokeycastle, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 02:11 |
| MrBushido | rewt: oh cool | 02:11 |
| rewt | srm, i'm pretty sure everything uses /etc/services to resolve port names to numbers | 02:11 |
| srm | rewt, coo. I thought of it always as just a quick reference for personal pleasure | 02:11 |
| srm | *cool | 02:12 |
| MrBushido | it would make sense, especially when apps can be dependant on others | 02:12 |
| kermit | is something deleting /tmp/* at boot? if so, what? | 02:12 |
| rewt | /etc/services is to service names as /etc/hosts is to host names and /etc/networks is to network names | 02:12 |
| srm | good to know! | 02:12 |
| MrBushido | thanks rewt & srm! back to configing my fileserver ^_^ | 02:13 |
| imadper | Hi everyone! I bought a HP-probook-4230s, but it's Ralink 3592 couldn't work well in ubuntu, what should I do? | 02:13 |

| imadper | srm: I think it's a 802.11n | 02:15 |
| delinquentme | We also recommend that you add the directory containing the elastic-mapreduce tool to your PATH. | 02:15 |
| delinquentme | how does one do this? | 02:15 |
| KM0201 | imadper: how do you know its a ralink 3592? | 02:15 |
| delinquentme | ( im assuming this is an ubuntu-specific operation) | 02:15 |
| imadper | srm: when i use "ifconfig", i can find wlan0, but can not find single | 02:16 |
| srm | delinquentme, that's a bash/shell specific operation. Do you know what the PATH environment variable is? | 02:16 |
| imadper | KM0201: from my windows | 02:16 |

| imadper | KM0201: thx | 02:18 |
| srm | delinquentme, read the link I gave you. In short: if you enter a (program-)name in your terminal/bash/shell, the shell looks in the current directory for a program with this name to execute, if it can't find it, it goes through all directories listed in PATH to find the program | 02:18 |

| xio3 | i was hoping someone could help me figure out what i'm doing wrong. I would like to generate a bunch of private/pub keys on a server and then package them in a .deb (one key per .deb file) so that a script could connect with ssh and do some port forwarding using passwordess logins. I had no problem generating a public/private key pair on the client and then uploading it and adding it to a authorized_keys2 file. problem comes in when i try | 02:24 |
| xio3 | to do this in reverse. in theory i thought i could generate the public/private key pair, add the pub key to the server's authorized_keys file of the user which the client will connect as and then use ssh -i id_rsa.pub that is in the package installed on the client to connect without a password to the server. i have tried a ton of different things to get this to working and no matter what asks me for a password. | 02:24 |

| KM0201 | rozander1: is it usb, or PCI(internal)? | 02:40 |
| rozander1 | internal | 02:40 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: type "lspci" ina terminal and hit enter, go through the output, and find your wireless card, and tell us what chipset it is. | 02:40 |
| rozander1 | how will i no which line is chipset | 02:41 |
| srm | rozander1, that's a bad habit you have there. bother mentioning the RTL-chipset it uses? bother mentioning that you have a CD with linux drivers to build kernel modules based on HAL (bad thing now) and that this cd provides a wpa_supplicant and all the other stuff you've figured out? | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: cuz it will probably say it's wireless | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: or it may say "802.11g" or something like that | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: if you can't figure out which one it is.. pastebin your lspci and give me the link | 02:42 |

| schnuffle | AJ4X: So where is your problem? | 02:45 |
| AJ4X | i dont want to install under windows | 02:45 |
| dtsund | AJ4X: There's no problem with that. | 02:46 |
| RevSpecies116 | schaumie2222: try this: sudo apt-get install vlc | 02:46 |

| AJ4X | doesnt ubuntu use ext4? | 02:46 |
| schaumie2222 | already installed rev | 02:46 |

| jimjam | schaumie what site are you watching the videos on? Does it apply to all videos or just from one sitE? | 02:46 |
| dtsund | Having different partitions differently formatted is no problem | 02:46 |
| schnuffle | AJ4X: yes | 02:46 |
| AJ4X | i heard if i install under windows it is slower than a fresh install | 02:46 |

| AJ4X | its a aspire one | 02:47 |
| dtsund | Anyway, I've got an upgrading problem, wondering if there's any quick fix: | 02:47 |
| dtsund | I've got a 9.04 machine I'd like to upgrade to 10.04 LTS | 02:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | upgrade or straight there, dtsund | 02:48 |
| w30 | AJ4X, I think you are confusing installing under windows, installing with windows and wubi | 02:48 |
| dtsund | Update Manager shows the upgrade as 10.04, but when I click the Upgrade button it just says I can't go directly from 9.04 to 10.04 | 02:48 |
| schnuffle | AJ4X: So first install windows keep enough free space for 2 partitions at least ( one swap, one for the system) and after win7 install ubuntu | 02:48 |
| grahame | Help, I'm a novice. I have 3 Ubuntu Lucid installations (marvellous) but on one .... All windows are {Closed} when my wife clicks on the minimize button. What has gone wrong, or how can I fix this? | 02:48 |
| KM0201 | dtsund: you can't go straight to LTS from 9.04... your easiest path will be a clean install | 02:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | As the upgrade method needs to update to 9.10 | 02:48 |
| delinquentme | so i've got a program which wants to run another program.. im guessing that there are special permissions i need to give to the slave file? | 02:48 |
| rozander1 | Km/srm since this version has a problem with HAL or watever would it not be a quick fix to downgrade ? | 02:48 |
| dtsund | RevSpecies116: I understand that. | 02:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | and then you need to upgrade to 10.04 | 02:48 |
| rozander1 | to like ubuntu 10.04 | 02:49 |
| dtsund | Update Manager isn't giving me the option, though. | 02:49 |
| schaumie2222 | right click open with vlc is not an option either | 02:49 |
| dtsund | There a command line ritual I can perform? | 02:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | dtsund: open the update manager | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | !tab | rozander1 if you're gnna say my name, complete it, so i don't have to search what you're saying | 02:49 |
| ubottu | rozander1 if you're gnna say my name, complete it, so i don't have to search what you're saying: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:49 |
| AJ4X | so installing under windows wouldnt make it run slower? | 02:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | And then in the bottom of the window, you should see settings... | 02:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | And in the settings, you can tick a button to let you know about OS updates to the next versions | 02:50 |
| schnuffle | AJ4X: Yes and wubi seems to be very prone to update problems | 02:50 |
| AJ4X | oh | 02:50 |
| w30 | AJ4X, there is dual booting with windows as an install and Ubuntu as an install. Wubi runs Linux as an application more or less (mostly less I guess) | 02:50 |
| rozander1 | KM0201: what would be the next step then... | 02:50 |
| === DevilSolution is now known as harrypotheadanda | ||
| AJ4X | i want ubuntu to be my primary and windows just for programs that cant run on linux | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: unfortunately not seeing much of a suggestion.. i'm surprised it doesn't work though, i have an 8198 that works out of the box. | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | AJ4X: then you definitely DO NOT want to use Wubi. | 02:51 |
| AJ4X | oh | 02:51 |
| dtsund | RevSpecies116: Not sure where you mean... | 02:51 |
| rozander1 | hmm i also have one that may be in the 8 series hold | 02:51 |

| AJ4X | so i should install ubuntu first? | 02:51 |
| kevin | Hi guys | 02:51 |
| RevSpecies116 | dtsund: Are you on Ubuntu or on a variant? | 02:51 |
| KM0201 | AJ4X: does your machine currently have windows installed? | 02:51 |
| dtsund | Ubuntu. | 02:52 |
| kevin | I have 2 monitors, the small one keeps coming up as the primary for teh login. How can I change that? | 02:52 |
| RevSpecies116 | dtsund: Please open the update manager | 02:52 |
| * delinquentme does the ubuntu dance | 02:52 | |
| schnuffle | AJ4X: No install win first as the Ubuntu boot loader can add windows but not the other way round | 02:52 |
| dtsund | Well, Kubuntu technically, but I ran apt-get install ubuntu-desktop after finding that KDE4 was, well, KDE4. | 02:52 |
| kevin | I'v tried the Nvidie x config, but no luck | 02:52 |
| dtsund | And I have Update Manager open already | 02:52 |
| RevSpecies116 | And do you have a 'settings...' button? | 02:52 |
| dtsund | Yeah, I have that open | 02:53 |
| jenvy | kevin, the easiest way to do that from my experience is to swap the stuff you plug into the back of your computer ;-) | 02:53 |
| jenvy | input1->input2, input2-input1 | 02:53 |
| dtsund | There's a 'Show New distribution releases' section, but it's already set to 'normal releases' | 02:53 |
| w30 | AJ4X, no, windows will wipe your boot loader for Linux, Linux as the second system will install a bootloader for both Linux and windows | 02:53 |
| RevSpecies116 | And on the settings window, do you see an option to be informed about updates to the next version of Ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| turkfebruary | possible to change the number of workspaces in 11.04? | 02:53 |
| kevin | jenvy, yeah, I wanted to do that but have one DVI and one VGA style adapter... screwed on that front | 02:54 |
| rozander1 | KM0201: i have an 7728 which is also realtek...it didnt work on 10.04 which is why i bought this older one lmao i thought it might be supported.. | 02:54 |
| rozander1 | havnt tried this one with 11.04 though | 02:54 |
| dtsund | RevSpecies116: Yes, and it's already set to do so | 02:54 |
| jenvy | kevin, ah then i don't know.. whenever that happens ijust swap them in the back, i use two dvi though. | 02:54 |
| schaumie2222 | could somebody pm me with some help playing videos in firefox that once worked but have since stopped working | 02:54 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: i thought you said you had 11.04 | 02:54 |
| dtsund | It knows there's a new version, it's just not letting me download the *right* one | 02:55 |
| rozander1 | KM0201: i do...but when i bought this one i had 10.04 | 02:55 |
| KM0201 | .. | 02:55 |

| ubottu | rurufufuss_: 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 | 03:17 |
| rurufufuss_ | oh thanks! | 03:17 |
| schnuffle | Sanctusorium: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 03:17 |
| sigmab3ta | hey everyone. anyone been having issues with natty and glibc version 2.13? | 03:17 |
| KM0201 | rurufufuss_: if you install 32bit on a system w/ more than 3.2gigs of ram, the installer will detect that, and automatically install the PAE kernel.. which i think supports of to 16gigs | 03:17 |
| bazhang | sigmab3ta, what issues | 03:18 |
| rozander1 | KM0201: if the problem is this HAL thing...does 10.04 support hal | 03:18 |
| Jon-- | My sound outputs both to my internal speakers and to my external headphones. How can I set it to only send out to the headphone output when a device is plugged in? | 03:18 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: i think so.. | 03:18 |

| dtsund | RevSpecies116: Looks like it is possible to upgrade, but the process for expired versions is somewhat involved. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades if you're somehow still interested | 03:18 |
| sigmab3ta | for example when I try to run VLC with XvBA decoding (accelerated decoding through radeon graphics card) i get a VLC segfault | 03:18 |
| rozander1 | how do you downgrade | 03:18 |
| dtsund | Thanks anyway! | 03:18 |
| bazhang | rozander1, you dont | 03:18 |
| sigmab3ta | dmesg traces it to "error 4 in libc-2.13.so" | 03:18 |
| bazhang | rozander1, full reinstall | 03:18 |
| rozander1 | lol i kinda need to so i can use wireless | 03:18 |
| rozander1 | really. god sake | 03:19 |
| Sanctusorium | schnuffle: Tried there. The command it tells me to use with the path way just get Ubuntu to lecture me about how I should just call the service. | 03:19 |
| Sanctusorium | The service that isn't running <_< | 03:19 |
| KM0201 | rozander1: i'm not aware of any OS, that supports "downgrading".. windows included | 03:19 |
| rurufufuss_ | question: has there been anyone that managed to run Mac OSX snow leopard on vmware, on ubuntu? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | Jon--, try padevchooser pavucontrol | 03:19 |
| rurufufuss_ | like, how viable is it? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | rurufufuss_, since thats illegal, no | 03:19 |
| rozander1 | hmm so ....can 11.04 not support Hal... | 03:20 |
| rurufufuss_ | right, thanks | 03:20 |
| fartypants | I tried to install MANDVD and it says this... | 03:20 |

| schnuffle | Sanctusorium: I don't see your problem. When you launch the freenx server you can't connect to it with the client? Normally the client opens a ssh connection and launches the server itself before connecting | 03:20 |
| bazhang | !info mandvd | 03:20 |
| ubottu | Package mandvd does not exist in natty | 03:20 |
| bazhang | fartypants, no such package exists, what do want it for | 03:21 |
| fartypants | bazhang: no I downloaded it from sourceforge | 03:21 |
| Sanctusorium | schnuffle: I don't know how to start the server. :P | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: then you need to compile it | 03:21 |
| bazhang | fartypants, to do what | 03:21 |
| schnuffle | Sanctusorium: can you connect with ssh to your server? | 03:21 |
| fartypants | right now its a purple diamond | 03:21 |
| Sanctusorium | Yep, already am :) | 03:21 |
| rozander1 | hm | 03:22 |
| fartypants | fartypants: I liked this software for burning dvd's | 03:22 |
| rozander1 | i think buying a new wireless card might be the way to go lol | 03:22 |
| bazhang | fartypants, explain exactly what you need it for | 03:22 |
| schnuffle | Okay so what happens when you start the NX-Client on some other PC and try to connect? | 03:22 |
| fartypants | bazhang: burning dvd's | 03:22 |
| w30 | How can I have a lower panel in Classic and not one in Unity? | 03:22 |
| fartypants | bazhang: it encodes it and burns it | 03:22 |
| fartypants | good software | 03:22 |
| bazhang | fartypants, many exist in ubuntu already no need for that | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: go here, and download the .deb, it will install much easier... http://www.getdeb.net/software/2ManDVD | 03:22 |
| Jon-- | My sound outputs both to my internal speakers and to my external headphones. How can I set it to only send out to the headphone output when a device is plugged in? | 03:23 |
| rozander1 | so anyone any ideas before i give up and buy a new one lmao | 03:23 |
| bazhang | Jon--, read what I said earlier | 03:23 |
| Jon-- | bazhang, There isn't an already installed package to do this? | 03:23 |
| Sanctusorium | The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host IPHERE | 03:24 |
| bazhang | Jon--, have you tried what I suggested or not | 03:24 |
| fartypants | KM0201: it says could not find package | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | .. | 03:24 |
| xekon | neat | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: hld on | 03:24 |
| fartypants | ok KM0201 | 03:25 |
| schnuffle | Sanctusorium: Did you run the nxsetup script? | 03:25 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: can you give me the link where you downloaded that program?(the one you currently have, the diamond) | 03:26 |
| Sanctusorium | Nope. :P None of the tutorials said to do that. *Sigh* This is how I run linux, lots and lots of tutorials and then the awesome people here when things go wrong | 03:26 |
| fartypants | KM0201: right here... | 03:26 |

| mouse_ | What's the terminal command for changing the sound output to a certain percentage? | 03:27 |
| KM0201 | hagn on | 03:27 |
| w30 | Jon--, I thought that was almost a hardware thing; Did you look in your bios settings for a tweek? | 03:27 |
| Sanctusorium | There it is! Found it on the ubuntu community page. | 03:27 |
| Sanctusorium | :) | 03:27 |

| djmaster | how do i run taz.gz | 03:28 |

| Senix | I have a bit of a problem with WinFF in Ubuntu, It gives me this error when converting things into mp3: Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame' | 03:29 |
| djmaster | bazhang, themes | 03:29 |
| bazhang | Senix, it's installed? or not | 03:29 |
| bazhang | djmaster, drag to theme manager, dont unpack it | 03:29 |
| Senix | bazhang: yes 'sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0' | 03:30 |
| djmaster | bazhang, ty | 03:30 |
| Sanctusorium | Wait. *facepalm* I DID do that. But lets see if re running it after I rebooted did anything. | 03:30 |
| bazhang | Senix, ripping from cd? or converting flac and the like to mp3 | 03:30 |
| Sanctusorium | Nope | 03:30 |
| Sanctusorium | I still get the "not available" issue | 03:30 |
| semitones | how can I troubleshoot this error? "cp: cannot create regular file `/home/warren/.config/autostart/': Is a directory" | 03:30 |

| sirfartsalotzSti | hi | 03:31 |
| Jon-- | bazhang, I am reluctant to install packages I may not need if I don't have to. | 03:31 |
| semitones | I checked and i couldn't find either a file or directory with that | 03:31 |
| Sanctusorium | Is the set up just a script that basically says "do you want to install the default key or make your own?" | 03:31 |
| w30 | AJ4X, I missed your private message window, I got it now | 03:31 |
| bazhang | Jon--, good luck then | 03:31 |
| Sanctusorium | I use the default key because I would not know what to do when making my own | 03:31 |
| Jon-- | w30, I am pretty sure I've had it only playing over headphones before on Ubuntu, and the laptop can certainly do so on the Windows partition. | 03:31 |
| djmaster | bazhang, it did not work | 03:32 |
| bazhang | djmaster, whats the link, what was the error | 03:32 |
| Sanctusorium | Whao! Got it to connect some how! | 03:32 |
| w30 | Jon--, that sucks don't it? | 03:32 |
| djmaster | bazhang, was no error just would not drag to | 03:32 |
| bazhang | djmaster, whats the link | 03:33 |
| Sanctusorium | Thanks for helping :) | 03:33 |

| fartypants | KM0201: ok | 03:34 |
| Sanctusorium | I prefer LXDE due to ram saving | 03:34 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: for what its worth, i don't think that package you downloaded, is put together properly | 03:34 |
| Sanctusorium | How could I add that to the list? | 03:34 |
| Jon-- | w30, ... yes? | 03:34 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | i have a question ,ever since i updated to ubuntu 11.4, have been unable to launch mozilla firefox. All my files also show /home/usrname | 03:34 |

| fartypants | KM0201: No it doesn't | 03:41 |
| KM0201 | ... | 03:41 |
| fartypants | it just opens a seperate winrar looking thing | 03:41 |
| Sanctusorium | schnuffle: I believe so. Is that X server? If so, I think it got installed when I installed LXDE | 03:41 |
| fartypants | with a debian and usr folder | 03:41 |
| KM0201 | fartypants: then right click it, and choose open with software center (assuming mint has that) | 03:41 |

| sylvyor | so, what I have is a natty server installed on an older box which I am trying to i-net connect through a dynex wireless router to a verizon westell which is the dsl connection to the internet. I do have a Laptop and a Desktop (Natty also) that are connected W/L already... any help out there for this? | 03:57 |
| Sanctusorium | schnuffle: Okie :) I'll see what I can do. I would just use gnome, but since its a VPS, I am trying to do GUI as simple as possible. If I go over resources, it doesn't get slow... It just uses more and the hosting co that I have just makes this face: $v$ | 03:59 |
| sylvyor | ... and a glass of wine... | 03:59 |
| semitones | http://paste.ubuntu.com/618763/ any idea if this worked or not? | 04:00 |
| schnuffle | Sanctusorium: here'S a solution: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/9nunmjC95AqDvMLCzP0J | 04:00 |

| Phong_ | and both aren't connect, but it works fine in windows. | 04:01 |
| monkey1883 | hav you tried installing any drivers? | 04:01 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: whats the chipsets on them... ? my belkin works fine, plug it in, "just works" | 04:01 |
| Phong_ | monkey1883, driver? | 04:02 |
| Phong_ | i dont know much about ubuntu man | 04:02 |
| izinucs | Ok.. I can see my launcher bar and the fact that Firefox is running but minimized.. It won't allow me to bring it forward.. how do I fix that? | 04:02 |
| Phong_ | monkey1883, my phylosophy is that if it works on windows, it should work on ubuntu or any OS | 04:02 |
| monkey1883 | Phong_ what are some things that are written on the belkin? | 04:03 |
| Phong_ | BELKIN N wirless | 04:03 |
| Phong_ | ver: 1011 | 04:03 |
| djmaster | bazhang, it wont work what do i do now? | 04:03 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | phong was it detected by ubuntu when u plugged it in | 04:03 |
| sylvyor_ | hmmm... I found a thing written on google about Belkin. | 04:03 |
| DrPenguin | Hello everyone! Have any onf u running Ubuntu 11.04 64bit been experiencing an abnormal number of lock ups and crashes? | 04:04 |

| izinucs | I can't launch anything off the launcher bar. How do I reset it? | 04:05 |
| jonholio | Hello, I have a very simple question. Can anyone tell me why I can't use ctrl-q to quit applications when using 11.04? | 04:06 |
| izinucs | jonholio: try alt+F4 | 04:06 |
| sylvyor_ | hmmm.... I so saw this like a month a ago.... let me see if I saved the url for the fix... there is a thing that you have to do to get it to use another driver.... | 04:06 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: thats weird, i think mine is an 8053.. | 04:07 |
| Phong_ | it's F5D8053 | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: well, yeah.. | 04:07 |
| KM0201 | pretty sure thats what mine is. | 04:07 |
| jonholio | izinucs: yep I know that works ok, but is a bit awkward compared to ctrl-q | 04:08 |
| Phong_ | KM0201, it keeps on connecting but never connect and failed | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 04:08 |
| izinucs | jonholio: never used that combo myself.. so I never got use to it. | 04:08 |
| notNicolas | whoa guys | 04:08 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: have you tried setting you network to "no security" and seeing if it will connect? | 04:08 |
| notNicolas | have you ever double clicked the icon at top left of the window? | 04:08 |
| sylvyor_ | have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1382798 | 04:09 |
| Phong_ | KM0201, haven't try that yet | 04:09 |
| Phong_ | lol | 04:09 |

| monkey1883 | Phong_:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1382798&highlight=F5D8053 try this | 04:09 |
| sylvyor_ | hahaha...Right on Monkey! | 04:10 |
| Konata | Running 10.04 in VMWare. Installed network-manager-openvpn along with dependencies earlier | 04:10 |
| Konata | Trying to configure the connection. I imported the client.ovpn file that I need. | 04:10 |

| w30 | jonholio, are you using Unity or compiz? if so use compiz config settings and change lt and F4 to ctrl q | 04:11 |
| TR4X | help. How do I fix the choppy av playback for everything in lucid 64 bit? Clean install, latest ISO, still broken. | 04:11 |
| KM0201 | monkey1883: thats a good find.. looks pretty simple | 04:11 |
| Phong_ | monkey1883, i have question about this line: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic | 04:11 |
| Phong_ | does that need internet connection? | 04:11 |
| sylvyor_ | 2 answers / 2 people = potentially good find... hahahaha | 04:11 |
| iush | everytime I connect my HP printer, i need to download and install it driver to make it work | 04:11 |
| jonholio | w30: I have tried in both Unity and classic Gnome and is the same in both. | 04:11 |
| monkey1883 | Phong_: Have you had your Ubuntu computer hooked up to the internet at all? like with a cable? | 04:12 |
| Phong_ | monkey1883, nope | 04:12 |
| sylvyor_ | phong... yes... (assumed that you have a wired connections) | 04:12 |
| sylvyor_ | sudo apt-get install will poll online.... | 04:12 |
| Phong_ | monkey1883, it' snot convenience for me,, how about this, i set my router not to use password | 04:12 |
| Phong_ | and try to see if it is connect | 04:12 |
| Phong_ | if it is, then i do the instruction okay? | 04:12 |
| monkey1883 | would you be able to hook it up to the computer? | 04:12 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: i doubt that will work, as it seems to be a driver issue.. it was just a thought. | 04:12 |
| KM0201 | Phong_: you really need wired access to fix this problem. | 04:13 |
| w30 | jonholio, are you using compiz in classic also? | 04:13 |
| Phong_ | KM0201, i'll give it a try | 04:13 |
| KinglyCitrus | Hello, everyone. | 04:13 |
| sylvyor_ | agree with KM | 04:13 |
| Phong_ | ok i'll find a lone wire | 04:13 |
| Phong_ | brb | 04:13 |
| sylvyor_ | I had to wire in to get the right drivers for mine to work... | 04:13 |
| jonholio | w30: yep | 04:13 |
| sylvyor_ | how are you connected now phong? | 04:13 |
| MishaFashionista | Hi there everyone, I have an HP envy and I was wondering if anyone could help me get the dual monitors working. The monitors program on ubuntu doesn't recognize anything out of the hdmi | 04:13 |
| KM0201 | sylvyor_: my guess is, on another computer | 04:14 |
| w30 | jonholio, then you should to edit compiz settings and change it | 04:14 |
| TR4X | help. How do I fix the choppy av playback for everything in lucid 64 bit? Clean install, latest ISO, still broken. | 04:14 |
| sylvyor_ | KM... yeah... been there too... ;) | 04:14 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | oh yes fellas remember whe i said i believe reason my firefox is not opening might due to file permission? reason is I can right click firefox in bib and choose open as admim and it opens | 04:15 |
| sylvyor_ | I wired in from the comp that I was having the wireless prob on and was able to get the drivers that I needed by being wired in... | 04:15 |
| sylvyor_ | otherwise, it's driver, dependency hell | 04:15 |
| monkey1883 | sylvyor: yeah, that was my idea | 04:15 |
| w30 | jonholio, ctrl q isn't used anywhere else I don't think | 04:16 |
| jonholio | w30: thanks I will try that. Seems a bit silly to need to have to do it though. | 04:16 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | but then it open up with new user profile , my bookmarks e.t.c are all missing since profile is admin when it opened | 04:16 |
| KM0201 | sylvyor_: unfortunately, thats the one bad thing, about most drivers, software, etc.. being in online repos. | 04:16 |
| w30 | jonholio, this Unity thing gets sillier every day *sigh* | 04:16 |
| KinglyCitrus | Anyone know much about streaming pulseaudio over ssh? Been poking around different channels trying to figure it out... | 04:16 |
| MishaFashionista | Anyone know how to get dual monitors working on an ati 5650 | 04:18 |
| monkey1883 | Is there anyone here that likes Unity? I, for one, do(works better on my netbook, which is my primary computer) | 04:18 |
| sylvyor_ | so... I am looking for a way to connect a wireless router to another wireless router (which is my i-net connection)... got like 4 comps that need an access point via wireless... | 04:18 |
| notNicolas | uhhmmm | 04:18 |
| notNicolas | can I INSTALL ubuntu ONTO a computer using a USB installation, or can I only run it from the USB? | 04:18 |
| MishaFashionista | You can bridge a router | 04:18 |
| jonholio | Argh ccsm won't let me set <Control>q as the Close Window binding. | 04:18 |
| monkey1883 | sylvyor_: like, do want a repeater? | 04:18 |
| MishaFashionista | You can install and run it | 04:18 |
| w30 | jonholio, I think Conical hired a bunch of MS and Mac coders and are trying to make them play nice together | 04:18 |
| notNicolas | ok, good. | 04:19 |
| TR4X | anyone know anything about pulseaudio's problems? | 04:19 |
| jonholio | monkey1883: I think it's not too bad. Apart from this ctrl-q thing! | 04:19 |
| sylvyor_ | KM, yeah... I beat my head against that wall for about a day before I realized that running 75 ft of wire was easier than trying to figure out how to get it to work w/l | 04:19 |
| TR4X | Has anyone had any solution to choppy audio/video playback in 10.04? | 04:19 |
| KM0201 | sylvyor_: lol | 04:20 |
| monkey1883 | jonholio: were you trying to trick me, or something? | 04:20 |
| sylvyor_ | monkey... hadn't thought of that... | 04:20 |
| KinglyCitrus | Yea, basically, I've got a headless server running in a VM, bridged to the network. X over SSH works fine to run remote programs on my laptop, but I'm having difficulty configuring the audio setup correctly. | 04:20 |
| excedere | TR4X, proper video drivers installed? | 04:20 |
| MishaFashionista | sylvyor you can bridge one router so then you can use it as an access point kinda | 04:20 |
| TR4X | excedere: yes. installed and activates. | 04:20 |
| jonholio | monkey1883: no no, I have a problem with my Ubuntu where control-q doesn't quit applications. | 04:20 |
| monkey1883 | jonholio: really? that's weird. it works for me | 04:21 |
| excedere | TR4X, tried another player? I have issues sometimes with VLC, but parole works flawlessly | 04:21 |
| TR4X | excedere: a/v works fine in natty on my machine, but I'm demonstrating the LTS to my boss for potential deployment | 04:21 |
| Samatros | I have a theory that modelines have no effect over HDMI on an intel GM45 chipset. Is there any way to verify this theory? | 04:22 |
| MishaFashionista | Later guys | 04:22 |
| jonholio | monkey1883: yeah it's very frustrating. | 04:22 |
| TR4X | I just can't fix the a/v issue in 10.04 | 04:22 |
| sylvyor_ | Misha: that's where I was headed next... | 04:22 |
| sylvyor_ | thanks | 04:22 |
| TR4X | it seems to be a pulseaudio problem, although i'm not sure | 04:22 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | oh yes fellas remember whe i said i believe reason my firefox is not opening might due to file permission? reason is I can right click firefox in bib and choose open as admim and it opens | 04:22 |
| TR4X | excedere: I've tried every player I can think of. Even the mighty mplayer is fail. | 04:23 |
| sylvyor_ | Haven't gotten into bridging yet... any good links out there? | 04:23 |
| phong_ | KM0201, hi brother | 04:23 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i got it work by a link that show me | 04:23 |
| phong_ | KM0201, no need internet at all | 04:23 |
| monkey1883 | jonholio: do u use alt-f4 much? if not, you can go to "keyboard shortcuts" and | 04:23 |
| KM0201 | phong_: good, but i didn't show it.. someone else did. | 04:23 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i got my Tenda w311u working now...works like a charm | 04:24 |
| KM0201 | good. | 04:24 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | oh yes fellas remember whe i said i believe reason my firefox is not opening might due to file permission? reason is I can right click firefox in /usr/bin and choose open as admim and it opens | 04:24 |
| sylvyor_ | awesome... success !!!! | 04:24 |
| phong_ | it's about sudo gedit ......./blacklist.conf | 04:24 |
| sylvyor_ | haha... forgot about the blacklist thing.... | 04:24 |
| sylvyor_ | :D | 04:24 |
| excedere | TR4X, strange indeed.. what kind of video hardware are you running? | 04:24 |
| monkey1883 | jonholio: then change "close window" under window management to ctrl-q | 04:24 |
| phong_ | KM0201, all i have to do is add blacklist xxxxxxx 3 lines of codes | 04:24 |
| KM0201 | hmm, ok | 04:24 |
| sylvyor_ | man, once the KT goes by... it goes away... | 04:24 |
| TR4X | excedere: I've noticed the choppiness corresponds to spikes in cpu usage for some gvfs processes and pulseaudio. | 04:25 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i'll try to figure out the belkin | 04:25 |
| phong_ | KM0201, can my pc connect 2 usb wirless? | 04:25 |
| KM0201 | phong_: possibly, but i'd leave well enough alone | 04:25 |
| tsok | OctoByte, you there? | 04:25 |
| phong_ | why? | 04:25 |
| TR4X | excedere: I'm pretty sure it's not the video hardware Nvidia gts250 | 04:26 |
| sylvyor_ | will work on bridging tomorrow... | 04:26 |
| KM0201 | you don't wanna start having driver conflicts, etc | 04:26 |
| phong_ | let me try the other one | 04:26 |
| phong_ | okay | 04:26 |
| sylvyor_ | agrees with KM... | 04:26 |
| TR4X | excedere: it does the same thing with audio files.. | 04:26 |
| phong_ | let me try belkin.brb | 04:26 |
| Samatros | Is there a channel specific to Intel Graphics? | 04:26 |
| jonholio | monkey1883: I have tried that and it won't let me set it as control q unfortunately. | 04:26 |
| sylvyor_ | KM: Phong's gonna break the sys by trying too hard... | 04:26 |
| tsok | . | 04:27 |
| bazhang | !alis | Samatros | 04:27 |
| ubottu | Samatros: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 04:27 |
| Samatros | bazhang: Thanks! | 04:27 |
| KM0201 | sylvyor_: lol, well, at least he knows how what to do when he has to reinstall | 04:27 |
| phong_ | KM0201, lol both works now | 04:27 |
| KM0201 | phong_: that means they likely use the same driver | 04:28 |
| phong_ | KM0201, u meant i don't need to install driver for each brand ? | 04:28 |
| phong_ | lol | 04:28 |
| phong_ | KM0201, nicely..both are working ;) | 04:28 |
| KM0201 | apparently not, they must have the same chipset/driver. | 04:28 |
| phong_ | i c | 04:28 |
| sylvyor_ | KM: Luck Dragon has given Phong a coin! | 04:28 |
| phong_ | golden coin | 04:28 |
| sylvyor_ | :) | 04:28 |

| sylvyor_ | no need for hurt phong... all is good fun. | 04:29 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | oh yes fellas remember whe i said i believe reason my firefox is not opening might due to file permission? reason is I can right click firefox in /usr/bin and choose open as admim and it opens | 04:29 |
| monkey1883 | jonholio: sorry, don't know what to tell ya | 04:29 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | any ideas? | 04:29 |
| jonholio | monkey1883: don't worry, I will survive :) I appreciate your help. | 04:30 |
| excedere | TR4X, I googled.. most of the links seem to point to conflicts with certain audio drivers and pulseaudio | 04:30 |
| excedere | hopefully someone with more audio knowledge than myself can chime in | 04:31 |
| sylvyor_ | excedere: what OS installation? | 04:31 |
| sylvyor_ | just catching up with the audio convo. | 04:31 |
| excedere | sylvyor_, TR4X is on 10.03 I believe | 04:32 |
| [deXter] | Hi all, is there a way to make a gnome panel stay on desktop such that other windows can cover it or maximize over it? | 04:32 |
| monkey1883 | anyone know of a good source for learning about the terminal/bash scripting? i have some basic knowledge, but i feel that with linux as my primary operating system, i should learn more. i've been using linux on and off for years, but now i only use windows for itunes | 04:32 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: 10.04 AMD64 | 04:32 |
| sylvyor_ | let me read back a bit | 04:32 |
| bazhang | !abs > monkey1883 | 04:33 |
| ubottu | monkey1883, please see my private message | 04:33 |
| [deXter] | monkey1883: iTunes can be run under Linux using Wine. | 04:33 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i just want to tell you that i really love ubuntu | 04:33 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: latest ISO. downloaded and installed yesterday. | 04:33 |
| phong_ | KM0201, and i want to let you know, i hate Mac..fuking mac | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | phong_: lol, well i'm glad | 04:33 |
| KM0201 | .. | 04:33 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: recently updated | 04:33 |
| bazhang | phong_, watch the cursing | 04:34 |
| monkey1883 | [deXter]: I know, but I cannot sync my iPod that way | 04:34 |
| [deXter] | monkey1883: Ah, if you just want it for syncing your iPod, there are other alternatives.. | 04:35 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i notice that Ubuntu runs faster then windows | 04:35 |
| nickjohn1on | Is anyone able to lend me a hand with a raid boot issue? | 04:35 |
| KM0201 | phong_: typically... | 04:36 |
| djmaster | monkey1883. try armorack | 04:36 |
| monkey1883 | [deXter]: Not currently. I have an iPod touch with iOS 4.3, and i haven't found anything simple that works | 04:36 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X: are you running Ubuntu Studio specifically? | 04:36 |
| nickjohn1on | I have four disks, each identically partitioned. The boot partition is RAID1, and the rest is RAID5. I recently upgraded to bigger drives online, by replacing and rebuilding the array after each drive | 04:36 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: No. default desktop install | 04:36 |
| nickjohn1on | Now when I boot, I get kicked out to an initramfs shell because it can't set up the array correctly. When I look at /proc/mdstat, it shows it's somehow assembled a single raid5 array from the whole drive (not the partitions), which obviously doesn't work | 04:37 |
| djmaster | my bad armarok | 04:37 |
| nickjohn1on | mdadm --stop /dev/md1; mdadm --assemble --scan; fixes it fine, though | 04:37 |
| nickjohn1on | Does anyone know why this happens, and what I can do to fix it? | 04:37 |
| phong_ | KM0201, is it good idea to instal WINE? | 04:37 |
| sylvyor_ | hmm.. you might have better luck getting you HW running with Studio because they set up configs to target video and audio hardware that default doesn't | 04:37 |
| sylvyor_ | I am running studio on my laptop and it can handle just about anything (AMD64) | 04:38 |
| monkey1883 | djmaster: do you mean amarok? | 04:38 |
| sylvyor_ | where as my desktop (32b-default) would have to be manipulated like hell to get some of the basic audio fun running) | 04:39 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: can't be done, I'm demonstrating it for an office environment. | 04:39 |
| sylvyor_ | oooh. | 04:39 |
| sylvyor_ | hmm... | 04:39 |
| sylvyor_ | {tapping fingers} | 04:39 |
| djmaster | monkey1883, yes keybored all messed upp | 04:39 |
| monkey1883 | djmaster: ok haha | 04:40 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: requires pulseaudio for simultaneous VOIP and media playback, otherwise it won't even get a loook in. | 04:40 |
| TR4X | djmaster: studio uses jack AFAIK. | 04:40 |
| djmaster | TR4X, ? | 04:40 |
| sylvyor_ | Jack rocks... | 04:41 |
| TR4X | djmaster: ? | 04:41 |
| djmaster | TR4X, ?? | 04:41 |
| sylvyor_ | at one point, I had jack, hooked into a windows incarnation of reason... that was sick... | 04:41 |
| sylvyor_ | anyway... | 04:41 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X, what's your drop off point? | 04:42 |
| TR4X | bawww, s**ts me to tears. | 04:42 |
| sylvyor_ | when are things hitting the fan? | 04:42 |
| acovrig | I know this isn't *the* place to ask, but does anyone know how to loop through an array and write each value to a file in c++ (or give me a channel name)? | 04:42 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: no deadline yet | 04:42 |
| sylvyor_ | hmmm. | 04:43 |
| djmaster | how do u run multi screan in xfce? | 04:43 |
| TR4X | acovrig: #c++ | 04:43 |
| laverne_ | i've finally had it with windows and i'm ready to take the linux plunge. anything i should know/do before i install ubuntu 11.04? | 04:43 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: It should just work. Natty works, but it's not LTS so not an option | 04:43 |
| excedere | djmaster, what video card do you have? | 04:43 |
| acovrig | TR4X: thanks-I thought I tried that :) | 04:43 |
| nickjohn1on | My question in one place. Help would be _much_ appreciated: http://serverfault.com/questions/277085/linux-fails-to-reassemble-raid-array-after-disk-upgrade | 04:44 |
| sylvyor_ | yeah... TR4X... i know... I am tryin to think through what could be stopping it... | 04:44 |
| djmaster | excedere, idk its the dell latitude c640 defult | 04:44 |
| TR4X | !pastebin | 04:45 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 04:45 |
| sylvyor_ | it's almost like you would have to write the code that already exists non LTS to get them to buy in... | 04:45 |
| excedere | djmaster, You'll need to find that out since each config is likely going to be dependent on what hardware you're running | 04:45 |
| excedere | djmaster, The laziest thing to do would be to enter the service tag at dell.com and view the hardware specs | 04:46 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618804/ that's my hardware | 04:46 |
| djmaster | excedere, well its a pci if that helps | 04:46 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X: I work in the enterprise industry myself so i know your frustration... | 04:46 |
| excedere | chances are its intel, | 04:47 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: yeah I know, I was only planning to pitch some cheap workstations, but they need top notch a/v | 04:47 |
| phong_ | i love this channel | 04:47 |
| pietr101 | hello guys, i'm having some trouble with one of my harddrives. smart says it's ok, but i get dmesg errors (http://pastebin.com/rrPFaTAh) can anyone pls tell me what is going on? | 04:48 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | ok can someone do me a favor PLS . in their /usr/bin folder can u check the permission for ur firefox for me . Mine shows owner and group and i don't see permission for users in mine | 04:49 |
| phong_ | does CloneZilla boot from usb? | 04:49 |
| phong_ | i wish clonezilla has usb boot | 04:49 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: I wonder if it's a kernel issue. might have a look for bugs in the modules | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | phong_: it can usb boot. | 04:50 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X: depends on if they are trying to serve Enterprise level or Public Market... | 04:50 |
| sylvyor_ | h,,,... | 04:50 |
| sylvyor_ | hmm. | 04:50 |
| phong_ | KM0201, really how? | 04:50 |
| phong_ | KM0201, cause right now i boot from CD | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | phong_: how? | 04:50 |
| sylvyor_ | LTS will be slimmed for public ... | 04:50 |
| phong_ | i download the clonezilla and burn to CD | 04:50 |
| sylvyor_ | might not be a bug... | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | ok.. download the ISO.. | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | google "unetbootin" and use unetbootin to unpack it to a thumb drive so you can boot it... should work just fine | 04:51 |
| sylvyor_ | perhaps a designed limitation... | 04:51 |
| Senix | how do i add artist names, album name, and album art to music in Ubuntu 11.04? | 04:51 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | ok can someone do me a favor PLS . in their /usr/bin folder can u check the permission for ur firefox for me . Mine shows owner and group and i don't see permission for users in mine | 04:51 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | anyone? | 04:51 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: Well, I don't know anyone who would want to plug this into their tv with this appalling playback. I noticed canonical had put an advert on the pulseaudio website for an audio programmer. | 04:51 |
| Senix | sirfartsalotzSti: pls don't use talk liek dis pl0x | 04:52 |
| sylvyor_ | that could ba a selling point come to think of it... | 04:52 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: did they? about time | 04:52 |
| mrdeb | maybe linux sound will be fixed some day | 04:52 |
| laverne_ | hmmm...maybe i won't. thanks for all the help | 04:52 |
| Senix | sirfartsalotzSti: and please restate your problem i don't quite understand. | 04:52 |
| sylvyor_ | yeah... I've been off of PA for a while... though when PA came out... it was the HS.. | 04:52 |
| sylvyor_ | things change so fast in tech. | 04:53 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: well, I don't think Shuttleworth's goal of 200m users will be achieved if ubuntu can't play a simple video | 04:53 |
| pietr101 | hello guys, i'm having some trouble with one of my harddrives. smart says it's ok, but i get dmesg errors (http://pastebin.com/rrPFaTAh) can anyone pls tell me what is going on? | 04:54 |
| TR4X | starting to rage. going down for another clean install and trying to find if it's a package that is causing the problem. | 04:55 |
| Vectory | If pppoe is configured, does that mess with the dhcp i usual use? | 04:55 |
| w30 | sirfartsalotzSti, mine is a simlink to firefox.sh which is owned by root and group root and exec for everyone but read only by root and root group | 04:55 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: it can play it with VLC | 04:55 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: too choppy to watch. | 04:55 |
| TR4X | TR4X: same with mplayer | 04:56 |
| mrdeb | if ubuntu didnt have vlc, it would lose millions of users | 04:56 |
| mrdeb | vlc makes or breaks a distro | 04:56 |
| sylvyor_ | hehe... TR4X: that's ubuntu can't play a simple video (using n conditions with a LTS (limited system) on an audio architecture that's pretty friggin complicated... | 04:56 |
| Vectory | Totem is usually good enough | 04:56 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | pietr101 looks like sector errors , don't quote me though cos am not an expert | 04:57 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: ha yes, I now have a feeling it might be the KDE compatibility stuff that's causing this. | 04:57 |
| mrdeb | KDE is not all that compatible | 04:57 |
| sylvyor_ | eh... VLC.... | 04:57 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X.... really... KDE? | 04:57 |
| sylvyor_ | nah | 04:57 |
| pietr101 | sirfartsalotzSti: any advice how to get sure? | 04:57 |
| sylvyor_ | never... | 04:57 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: sylvyor_: It got worse when I installed kvirc and ktorrent | 04:57 |
| tsok | After installing GRUB2 after a windows 7 install I get the error that the file "\NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr" is not found or corrupt, any help? | 04:57 |
| djmaster | excedere, brb im geting it | 04:57 |
| sylvyor_ | kde is perfect (can you smell the sarcasm dripping to the floor)? | 04:58 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | piet no | 04:58 |
| RevT | Kphuqued | 04:58 |
| sylvyor_ | k = kill? | 04:58 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: mrdeb: it might not be the root of the problem, but it may give me an idea as to why pulseaudio can't handle... too many connections or some such | 04:58 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | i know if a hard drive is failing , the data in that sector will be moved to another sector , that is as much as i know | 04:58 |
| madsailor | I am trying to import a pdf on natty with the default libre office, and having no luck. The Libre office site says PDF import is standards v3.3 or later, but my file isn't importing correctly. Is this related to non-free issues, or is there something else I am missing? | 04:58 |
| mrdeb | kde is good for about 5 minutes. then you realize it offers decreased usability compared to gnome 2 | 04:58 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | thx w38 for the firefox permission | 04:59 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: what cant it handle | 04:59 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: mrdeb: I'm using the default gnome, but just installed some KDE packages. It made it even worse. | 04:59 |
| nit-wit | tsok, you using easybcd? | 04:59 |
| tsok | nit-wit: I have it on my windows 7 install but I can not boot to it. | 04:59 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: just play one sound at a time | 05:00 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: sylvyor_: I have a hunch that when lots of processes are accessing it, it can't handle. | 05:00 |
| excedere | Depending on your target audience, XFCE is probably the most idiot proof | 05:00 |
| nit-wit | tsok, I'm not familiar with it. | 05:00 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | Senix , my issue is i cannot open my firefox using my regular user profile . But if i right click firefox .exec in usr/bin and choose run as administrator , it opens | 05:00 |
| sylvyor_ | yeah... the threads get heavy when the kde libraries get involved. | 05:00 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | but the firefox that opens is a brand new profile missing my bookmarks and my setting since it was launched as administartor | 05:01 |
| bobsomebody | anyone in here running xbox live through an iptables masq nat? | 05:01 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: even when I am only playing one sound, several process are still interacting with pulse. | 05:01 |
| phong_ | KM0201, how to install 7z | 05:01 |
| phong_ | when i start the usb create thing it ask that i dont have 7z | 05:02 |
| Vectory | Can noone answer my pppoe q? | 05:02 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | <pietr101> really don't know if u can fix that cos it's just a bad sector on ur harddrive | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: so it slows down, yes? | 05:02 |
| bobsomebody | TR4X, is that a pulse audio error? I get that all the time playing back music on rythmbox | 05:02 |
| phong_ | KM0201, nevermind i got it | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | the problem is that audio in linux is tied to the main processes for some reason | 05:02 |
| Vectory | Im online using my handy, its expensive | 05:03 |
| mrdeb | the kernel should be divided up to separate key process types like audio and video, and other cpu tasks | 05:03 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | think of it like playing music on old LP ,it will continue to skip if ur record player pins goes thru that groove | 05:03 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: mrdeb: and I'm using a 3.4ghz quad core, it glitches or skips chunks of audio, which also interferes with video playback as the decoder tries to sync output. | 05:03 |
| pietr101 | sirfartsalotzSti: i just bought the disk two weeks ago. do you think i can return it for replacement? | 05:03 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | but if u don't play that groove then there is no skip | 05:03 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: it's not the hardware. it's linux | 05:03 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | u might be better off returning it if u still can | 05:04 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: yes, I understand that. | 05:04 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | cos it will not get better | 05:04 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X... honestly, it sounds like your best bet is to start from scratch... as painful as that is... you might be better off building the system from ground up than trying to solve the issues that are caused by dependent libraries. | 05:04 |
| phong_ | KM0201, u there? | 05:04 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: Yes, I tried that. Fresh install yesterday. same problem | 05:04 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | might not get worse either but your computer will not write anything to that sector again | 05:04 |
| mrdeb | it plays fine for the most part, but you will have skipping | 05:04 |
| mrdeb | it doesnt even matter which distro | 05:04 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: and rage. | 05:04 |
| sylvyor_ | if you can't use studio then start with a vanillia install / no audio and work your way up from there... | 05:05 |
| phong_ | KM0201, UNetbootin, i am confused about "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu Only)" what is this? | 05:05 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: natty works perfectly | 05:05 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: with what | 05:05 |
| sylvyor_ | hmm... | 05:05 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: sylvyor_: natty works perfectly for a/v on the same hardware. | 05:05 |
| sylvyor_ | but using natty ain't the $$$ right? | 05:05 |
| gsr | Hi all. I'm using qbittorrent as my bittorrent client. After updating (and subsequently downgrading), when I try to close bittorrent, the gui shuts down, but the process remains as a zombie. Further, this <defunct> zombie takes up 90-100% of the CPU! What could be causing this? I try to kill it (kill -9 PID), and this does nothing. | 05:05 |
| sirfartsalotzSti | w30> thx | 05:06 |
| sylvyor_ | gotta be 10.04 | 05:06 |
| === krups_v2 is now known as krups | ||
| mrdeb | 10.04 has more stuttering with audio | 05:06 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: sylvyor_: remember, I can't use natty because it's not LTS and I am trying to demonstrate this for an enterprise workstation deployment. | 05:06 |
| mrdeb | i noticed that. so it's probably the drivers or kernel | 05:06 |
| gsr | From what I understand, zombie processes aren't supposed to be able to take up any resources. Is there any way to kill a zombie (besides chopping off its head)? | 05:06 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: I thought it could be kernel modules too. | 05:07 |
| lunarblaze | i need unrestricted access to ALL files. how do i do this? | 05:07 |
| sylvyor_ | yep... my statement wasn't a question it. i was point of interest. | 05:07 |
| mrdeb | why do you need perfect audio for enterprise | 05:07 |
| sylvyor_ | mrdeb... have you work w/ enterprise solution before? | 05:07 |
| TR4X | mrdeb: it's the first thing the boss will call me in to fix | 05:08 |
| excedere | Does anyone know how to close the playlist in parole media player? | 05:08 |
| lunarblaze | anyone? | 05:08 |
| mrdeb | sylvyor_: no | 05:08 |
| JayWalker__ | jay | 05:08 |
| mrdeb | TR4X: tell him to reboot | 05:09 |
| mrdeb | lol | 05:09 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: mrdeb: everything worked fine in 8.04 :/ | 05:09 |
| === dj is now known as Guest23372 | ||
| sylvyor_ | getting it right, the firt time around is the difference between asking for $$ and requiring $$$..(count the $) | 05:09 |
| madsailor | I am trying to import a pdf on natty with the default libre office, and having no luck. The Libre office site says PDF import is standards v3.3 or later, but my file isn't importing correctly. Is this related to non-free issues, or is there something else I am missing? | 05:09 |
| ari__ | #ubuntu-indonesia | 05:09 |
| sylvyor_ | trust me... | 05:09 |
| mrdeb | so is 8.04 better | 05:09 |
| sylvyor_ | getting the right A/V solution for TR4X is a good thing... | 05:09 |
| mrdeb | i never used it | 05:09 |
| kaushal | hi | 05:10 |
| kaushal | can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-June/245771.html | 05:10 |
| TR4X | sylvyor_: mrdeb: I might give debian a try. | 05:11 |
| sylvyor_ | TR4X, mrdeb.. I have to head off now... i'll see what I can find... otherwise... good luck... | 05:11 |
| sylvyor_ | I have alway just convinced people that ubuntu studio was created for A/V solutions and that they should use that instead of a vanilla solution... | 05:12 |
| mrdeb | sylvyor_: is studio good | 05:12 |
| sylvyor_ | but my world may be different that yours. | 05:12 |
| sylvyor_ | mrdeb... for A/V... yeah... | 05:13 |
| mrdeb | does it perform better | 05:13 |
| sylvyor_ | studio is up to date but they target a/v hardware issues where default targets office usability... | 05:13 |
| sylvyor_ | for a/v yes. | 05:13 |
| sylvyor_ | depends on the need | 05:14 |
| mrdeb | how do they target it. replace modules? | 05:14 |
| mrdeb | what can they relaly do | 05:14 |
| sylvyor_ | not replace... update, upgrade and install (by default) other necessary components not needed by the default... | 05:14 |
| micahg | kaushal: so, with sources files, they all need to end in .list, however, ones that are not found at the time of update will be ignored, so you could have one for internal and one for external | 05:15 |
| sylvyor_ | the studio market is professional musicians (i.e. Black Eyed Peas, etc) | 05:15 |
| mrdeb | well, what do they do to improve the skipping for example | 05:15 |
| mrdeb | peas use ubuntu? | 05:15 |
| sylvyor_ | :S | 05:16 |
| sylvyor_ | :D | 05:16 |
| kaushal | micahg: ok | 05:16 |
| kaushal | micahg: I have two separate files | 05:16 |
| sylvyor_ | as well as Propellerhead Reason... | 05:16 |
| mrdeb | odd | 05:16 |
| sylvyor_ | why odd? | 05:16 |
| mrdeb | well mac is supposed to be for that | 05:17 |
| tsok | After installing GRUB2 after a windows 7 install I get the error that the file "\NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr" is not found or corrupt, any help? | 05:17 |
| sylvyor_ | mac is built on unix | 05:17 |
| sylvyor_ | {shrug} | 05:18 |
| mrdeb | ok | 05:18 |
| mrdeb | but it has proper driver support, which i thought would be key for a professoinal audio station | 05:18 |
| dan_ | hello | 05:18 |
| mrdeb | maybe i will try ubuntu studio | 05:18 |
| sprink | what is the package name for the "Startup Disk Creator" used on the ubuntu download page, to write the .iso to a usb drive? Is there a alternative in debian? I am trying to create the ubuntu usb stick from a debian system | 05:19 |
| d_atharva | Hi.First I would used to download videos from youtube by copying the video from /tmp.but now I am unable to copy as the file does not exist.How can I download the videos from youtube ??? | 05:19 |
| sylvyor_ | mrdeb: it's fun... I like it... | 05:19 |
| kaushal | micahg: Please suggest further | 05:19 |
| tsok | d_atharva: when watching a youtube video, replace "youtube.com" with "keep-tube.com" | 05:19 |
| micahg | kaushal: I answered your question | 05:19 |
| kaushal | micahg: yeah | 05:19 |
| tsok | d_atharva: it's a website that will allow for downloading youtube videos | 05:19 |

| kaushal | How do i switch it automatically | 05:19 |

| micahg | kaushal: as I said, you can have both enabled and apt will ignore the one that's unreachable | 05:20 |
| kaushal | micahg: i did it but it actually sucks | 05:21 |
| sylvyor_ | mrdeb... totally... | 05:21 |
| sylvyor_ | check it out... | 05:21 |
| kaushal | micahg: like when i am in office it should switch to local and out of office switch to global | 05:21 |

| d_atharva | tsok : thanx dude..Download has started.... :) | 05:22 |
| sylvyor_ | if you are a fan of choosing your software, then I hope that you will be happy with the default selection that's available | 05:22 |
| micahg | kaushal: another idea is to set up hooks based on the network connection, but someone else would have to help you configure that | 05:22 |
| sylvyor_ | dan: how? | 05:22 |

| sylvyor_ | if that doesn't work you might have to scrap and start again... the reason why I asked if it had been running is that unity requires a good deal of graphical processing power and so does gnome 3... | 05:29 |
| ameriserf | notcj | 05:29 |
| dan_ | oh right, graphics aren't a problem.... | 05:29 |
| dan_ | got a decentish gfx card in | 05:30 |
| dan_ | not please about having to reinstall lol | 05:30 |
| Nisstyre | yes | 05:30 |

| === Guest23372 is now known as djmaster | ||
| sylvyor_ | gnome 3 has been known to have issues with natty so ppl are at an interesting crossing point... there are hits out there on google and other SE that talk about the subject so I am surprised that you havent found a solution | 05:30 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest15171 | ||
| dan_ | right, i've uninstalled everything to do with unity with synaptics manager, and installed unity again along with dependencies | 05:31 |
| djmaster | excedere, its a ati radon 7500 | 05:31 |
| excedere | djmaster, You'll need to install the drivers from ati and the aticonfig utility | 05:31 |
| [an]droidman | sylvyor_: most of them are probably a bit technical, and most likely few show how to unscrew up unity | 05:31 |
| sylvyor_ | dan: yeah, I always back up, kill and reinstall my OS every few months or year.... just because things are so chaotic out there... | 05:32 |
| dan_ | going to try rebooting.... | 05:32 |
| djmaster | excedere, how | 05:32 |

| excelsior | anyone running bitcoin on their Ubuntu box? | 05:42 |
| roark | how do i specify ports in etc/hosts file | 05:44 |
| roark | i have a web server running on port 5000 | 05:44 |
| CarlFK | roark: you don't | 05:44 |
| excelsior | bitcoin? | 05:44 |
| roark | CarlFK: I tried changing /etc/services file so that www points to port 5000 | 05:44 |
| roark | i still couldnt get it working | 05:45 |
| tmg | roark: hosts file is for names mapping | 05:45 |
| roark | tmg: how can i override default port of 80 for web servers | 05:45 |
| roark | CarlFK: how can i override default port of 80 for web servers | 05:45 |
| tmg | roark: well it has nothing to these files, you just have to change your httpd config so it will run on other port... | 05:45 |
| CarlFK | roark: in the server's config | 05:45 |
| roark | i dont want to run my webserver on port 80 | 05:46 |
| roark | that requires sudo permission | 05:46 |
| tmg | so just tell us what are you want to do | 05:46 |
| TR4X | I think I found a workaround for my pulseaudio problem. still testing it | 05:47 |
| roark | tmg: i want some random domain name say ... www.google.com on my ubuntu box to be redirected to 127.0.0.1:5000 | 05:47 |
| CarlFK | roark: there are many parts to that problem | 05:47 |
| tmg | oh ok, so you have to configure your httpd to listen at port 5000 | 05:47 |
| === Daniel__ is now known as Drone4four | ||
| tmg | then you add the domain into hosts file | 05:47 |
| === max is now known as Guest94834 | ||
| roark | CarlFK: can you help me solve those parts | 05:48 |
| tmg | you know, /etc/hosts is only mapping for the name, port has to be binded and used by the server | 05:48 |
| roark | i changed /etc/hosts to 127.0.0.1 www.google.com | 05:48 |
| StaticSense | can someone help me with the ubuntu install? :) | 05:48 |
| CarlFK | roark: tmg is doing pretty good | 05:48 |
| roark | CarlFK: cool | 05:48 |
| celthunder | StaticSense: what about it | 05:48 |
| roark | tmg: how do i override httpd to listen to port 5000 | 05:49 |
| celthunder | roark: what are you using for an httpd | 05:49 |
| roark | its a web server callled paste | 05:49 |
| roark | that comes with pylons | 05:49 |
| roark | a python framework | 05:49 |
| roark | i am running that on port 5000 | 05:49 |
| StaticSense | ok, well i'm trying to install, but i keep getting an error | 05:50 |
| CarlFK | roark: what do you run to start the server ? | 05:50 |
| celthunder | StaticSense: ok more useful would be the error | 05:50 |
| celthunder | roark: theres an httpd called paste? never heard of it | 05:50 |
| StaticSense | stdin: I?O error | 05:50 |
| tmg | roark: put in etc/hosts: 127.0.0.2 paste | 05:50 |
| celthunder | StaticSense: when | 05:50 |
| tmg | and try this | 05:50 |
| tmg | but you have to setup vhost in your httpd to use 127.0.0.2 anyway | 05:51 |
| roark | paste is a daemon | 05:51 |
| StaticSense | i hit english, and then choose to install ubuntu, and it says ubuntu 11.04 with 4 white dots | 05:51 |
| StaticSense | and if i hit any key, it'll show that | 05:51 |
| roark | not sure if you want me to put a daemon/process' name into /etc/hosts file | 05:51 |
| celthunder | StaticSense: is your install media damaged? | 05:51 |
| StaticSense | i just burnt it, it shouldn't be | 05:51 |
| celthunder | roark: that would alias paste to 127.0.0.2 | 05:52 |
| NikkiC | is anyone here who knows stuff about lxde ? | 05:52 |
| CarlFK | roark: what do you run to start the server ? (really) | 05:52 |
| tmg | roark: ok simply: /etc/hosts is a place where you can force address-name translation, that's all about the file... | 05:52 |
| djmaster | excedere, could not find it | 05:52 |
| celthunder | NikkiC: out of 1k people not one person here uses lxde | 05:52 |
| roark | paster serve --reload development.ini | 05:52 |
| CarlFK | there we go. | 05:52 |
| celthunder | NikkiC: that was sarcasm btw.. | 05:52 |
| roark | udo netstat -anp | grep 5000 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 9755/python | 05:53 |
| NikkiC | erm :) | 05:53 |
| roark | but the process name which is listening on 5000 is python | 05:53 |
| roark | since paste is a webserver written in python | 05:53 |
| TR4X | excelsior: nope, pulse still bork | 05:53 |
| CarlFK | roark: in development.ini, does it say port = 5000 ? | 05:53 |
| roark | ya | 05:54 |
| roark | CarlFK: ya | 05:54 |
| CarlFK | then you are done. | 05:54 |
| celthunder | TR4X: what have you tried so far (just got here sorry) | 05:54 |
| tmg | it is listening @localhost:5000 | 05:54 |
| roark | tmg: yes | 05:54 |
| tmg | where is the problem? | 05:54 |
| CarlFK | lol | 05:54 |
| tmg | you want new name? | 05:54 |
| roark | tmg: i have 127.0.0.1 www.google.com in /etc/hosts file | 05:55 |
| tmg | so? | 05:55 |
| roark | so when i point my browser to www.google.com | 05:55 |
| roark | it searches for a web server on port 80 | 05:55 |
| roark | and its returning me 404 | 05:55 |
| TR4X | celthunder: tried every media player I can think of but audio keeps skipping and glitching, affecting video playback too. 10.04 amd64, clean install latest iso, HW list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/618804/ | 05:55 |
| StaticSense | ok, so i tried the disc check option, and the purple screen comes up again, saying ubuntu 11.04 with 4 white dotds | 05:55 |
| roark | but i want it to go to port 5000 and fetch a page that is hosted there | 05:56 |
| CarlFK | roark: browsers default to port 80. just add :5000 to the www.google.com | 05:56 |
| tmg | ok, so everything works, except your web server which gives 404 instead some page? | 05:56 |
| roark | tmg: yes | 05:56 |
| CarlFK | tmg: no :_ | 05:56 |
| [an]droidman | StaticSense: are the dots moving? | 05:56 |
| [an]droidman | as in, flashing on/off | 05:56 |
| CarlFK | I sense 2 webservers | 05:56 |
| StaticSense | yes, they become highlighted | 05:56 |
| celthunder | TR4X: ok got enough cpu/ram ? | 05:56 |
| roark | CarlFK: no there is only 1 | 05:57 |
| [an]droidman | then its doing something right now, how long has it been like tha | 05:57 |
| roark | there is nothing listening on port 80 | 05:57 |
| NikkiC | celthunder: well im trying to figure out how to get a key on my keyboard to function as a mouse key.. .. but there is no such settings in the gui (lxinput) | 05:57 |
| CarlFK | roark: then you wouldn't be getting a 404 from port 80. | 05:57 |
| [an]droidman | s/tha/that | 05:57 |
| celthunder | NikkiC: xmodmap | 05:57 |
| TR4X | celthunder: 3.4ghz amd quad, 6GB DDR3 1300 | 05:57 |
| celthunder | TR4X: lol ok sorry didn't actually look at the hardware link...should probably do that now huh | 05:57 |
| TR4X | celthunder: sorry 6GB DDR3 1600mhz | 05:57 |
| tmg | roark: and do you have *good* setup for 127.0.0.1 vhost in your webserver config? | 05:57 |
| roark | CarlFK: you are right it s not a 404 | 05:58 |
| roark | CarlFK: browser complains it is not able to connect | 05:58 |
| TR4X | celthunder: pretty sure it's not hardware. | 05:58 |
| roark | CarlFK: my bad | 05:58 |
| tmg | 404 is like the web server is not configured well, you have no perms to read / | 05:58 |
| roark | tmg: not sure if paste supports vhost | 05:58 |
| CarlFK | roark: paste the output from wget http://localhost:5000 | 05:58 |
| TR4X | celthunder: seems to be either kernel or pulseaudio | 05:58 |
| celthunder | TR4X: might be a better way to test this but...just to prove it's pulse and not something else to blame can you setup mpd playing on a pulseaudio sink and play it through another comp? | 05:59 |
| roark | tmg: my bad its not 404 | 05:59 |
| TR4X | celthunder: mpd? | 05:59 |
| celthunder | TR4X: er setup pulse to play through a sink and set mpd to use it | 05:59 |
| ifconfig1 | I don't want to boot from my MBR. Can I just get a bootable CDROM to stick in the drive and boot from that instead of botting from the hard drive? | 05:59 |
| celthunder | TR4X: it's music player daemon | 05:59 |

| celthunder | ifconfig1: sure in a minute | 06:05 |
| ifconfig1 | celthunder Or do I need to copy the boot image? | 06:05 |
| TR4X | celthunder: yes, still skippy. it was ok for a while, but then started skipping. | 06:05 |
| CarlFK | roark: the easy solution to this is browse www.google.com:5000 - the hard way is port forwarding. which is beyond my powers. | 06:05 |
| roark | CarlFK: ok | 06:05 |
| roark | CarlFK: can you point me to forwarding , does that involve changing /etc/services file | 06:06 |
| avernos | i have a broadcom wifi card, i've installed the driver, i can see networks with sudo iwlist scanning, but notthing shows up in the nm-applet, any idea? | 06:06 |

| roark | ok | 06:06 |
| roark | anyways thanks guys | 06:06 |
| CarlFK | roark: and no to the 2nd question too. | 06:06 |

| ifconfig1 | Wooops - I'm on Ubuntu :-) | 06:07 |
| celthunder | lol | 06:07 |
| TR4X | celthunder: it's like the first process to access the pulse server gets priority | 06:07 |
| celthunder | TR4X: ok so it'sprobably pulse then | 06:07 |
| celthunder | TR4X: are you running pulse systemwide as root or as the user | 06:08 |
| TR4X | celthunder: and keeps it even after you close the application | 06:08 |
| celthunder | (the daemon) | 06:08 |
| TR4X | celthunder: I'm running as user, but I added myself to the audio, pulse and pulse-access groups earlier to try and fix this | 06:09 |

| TR4X | celthunder: actually, no it was using pulse too | 06:11 |
| celthunder | TR4X: kk can you try not using pulse | 06:11 |
| TR4X | celthunder: give me a sec to test with alsa | 06:11 |
| TR4X | celthunder: ok video playback seems fine when I use ALSA for audio output in VLC | 06:13 |
| celthunder | ok | 06:13 |
| yagoo | tmg, use some hardware test tool.. like S.M.A.R.T test tools (like sysrescuecd or ultimatebootcd) | 06:14 |
| TR4X | celthunder: but occasionally there are little micropops, not nearly as annoying as what I was getting form pulse though. | 06:14 |

| boss8055 | we can download youtube videos by watching it and copy from the /tmp folder right? | 06:40 |

| tsok | boss8055: i can help | 06:43 |
| NiMH | I just use Firefox extension for downloading youtube video. | 06:43 |
| rinkukokiri | boss8055, why not just use firefox with an add on? | 06:43 |
| tsok | boss8055: when watching a youtube video, replace the "youtube.com" with "keep-tube.com" | 06:43 |
| ejv | is it ok to interrupt mdadm when it's doing a check ? | 06:43 |
| ejv | i really need to power down this box im working on... | 06:43 |
| tsok | boss8055: keep-tube is an online service that allows high-quality downloading of youtube videos, no watermark etc. | 06:43 |
| tsok | or like rinkukokiri or NiMH said, use a firefox add-on | 06:43 |
| boss8055 | so that option to copy from /tmpfolder is not available now? | 06:44 |
| tsok | boss8055: I'm not sure, I just now got ubuntu so I don't know about any /tmp folder. | 06:45 |
| rinkukokiri | boss8055, it is available, but you really don't get to choose what format to download in, which resolution to download, whether or not you want it converted into mp3, plus you have to actually find the file (it's not as simple as looking for an flv or mp4) | 06:45 |
| scott951 | does ubuntu has an option to redo your mbr ?? | 06:45 |
| tsok | (by /tmp folder I mean the method used to extract videos from it) | 06:45 |
| rinkukokiri | the folder isn't /tmp btw, it's usually your firefox profile cache dir | 06:46 |
| rinkukokiri | about:cache | 06:46 |
| thr01 | it is /tmp go there loock for a FADASDASRF242424 file something random like that | 06:46 |
| rinkukokiri | personally I would just install an add on to firefox though.. it's a lot easier, and you have more options | 06:46 |
| thr01 | then rename it to .flv | 06:46 |
| NiMH | Check out Easy Youtube Video Downloader | 06:46 |
| thr01 | it is the easiest way | 06:46 |
| thr01 | then u can bookmark /tmp on desktop | 06:47 |
| rinkukokiri | actually.. no it's not /tmp | 06:47 |
| thr01 | use arista to convert it to desktop after and ur sorterd | 06:47 |
| NiMH | it's an firefox extension | 06:47 |
| thr01 | actually it is /tm | 06:47 |
| rinkukokiri | /home/mikah/.mozilla/firefox/c54olf27.default/Cache | 06:47 |
| rinkukokiri | no it sisn't | 06:47 |
| thr01 | it is definantely /tmp ive been saving youtube like this for years | 06:48 |
| rinkukokiri | thr01, if you're using firefox it's your firefox disk cache | 06:48 |
| rinkukokiri | i've been stealing from youtube for longer than you | 06:48 |
| rinkukokiri | trust me | 06:48 |
| rinkukokiri | thr01, you are correct that it is named some random set of digits/letters though | 06:48 |
| thr01 | ... /tmp has worked 4 at least 5 years | 06:49 |
| thr01 | if they have moved it must be in very latest firefox | 06:49 |
| rinkukokiri | no... | 06:49 |
| rinkukokiri | it's been like that since at least firefox 3.1 | 06:49 |
| rinkukokiri | thr01, why not just look up a howto and prove me wrong?> | 06:49 |
| rinkukokiri | http://www.walkernews.net/2007/11/19/how-to-save-flash-video-from-firefox-cache-folder/ hrm | 06:50 |

| rinkukokiri | thr01, interesting, which folder in /tmp is the video located in then? | 06:52 |

| Bakerconspiracy | sometimes the additional drivers thing will work properly if you unintall then install again | 08:07 |
| Bakerconspiracy | but you cant do that can you | 08:07 |
| lonejack | llutz_, petrolman, Thank you | 08:07 |
| Bakerconspiracy | like that parts of the GUI that should be loaded into memory | 08:08 |
| Bakerconspiracy | aren't working | 08:08 |
| Blue1 | Bakerconspiracy: hey that's sounds like a windows solution ;-) | 08:08 |
| Bakerconspiracy | it does | 08:08 |
| Bakerconspiracy | but trust me | 08:08 |
| Bakerconspiracy | I have 2 x GT 9800 | 08:08 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: tell me what to do | 08:08 |
| Blue1 | Bakerconspiracy: but what you say is true | 08:08 |
| appu | hey | 08:08 |
| Bakerconspiracy | ielezovikj go to additional drivers | 08:09 |
| Bakerconspiracy | deselect the package and reinstall | 08:09 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: is that the only way? | 08:09 |
| Bakerconspiracy | no | 08:09 |
| Bakerconspiracy | we could do it through the envidia installer | 08:09 |
| Bakerconspiracy | terminal | 08:09 |
| Bakerconspiracy | much harder though | 08:09 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: ok, stay with me | 08:09 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: Now I am removing the driver | 08:10 |
| holx | hello, I have a question | 08:11 |
| celthunder | holx, the answer is blue | 08:11 |
| Bakerconspiracy | ielezovikj what version of the 6200 do you have? | 08:11 |
| holx | what is the kernel path on ubuntu | 08:11 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: I uninstalled it. Now what? | 08:12 |
| holx | I need to compile madwifi | 08:12 |
| Bakerconspiracy | install it again | 08:12 |
| Bakerconspiracy | holx don't you just need modprobe for that? | 08:12 |
| Bakerconspiracy | if that doens't work we gotta look up your drivers from the nvidia site ielezovikj | 08:12 |
| celthunder | holx, /usr/source | 08:12 |
| holx | Bakerconspiracy: how do you mean, Im fairly new | 08:12 |
| celthunder | holx, er /usr/src | 08:12 |
| Bakerconspiracy | I'll help you with that though | 08:12 |
| ielezovikj | Bakerconspiracy: I have GeForce 6200 and I already had tried reinstalling it and it again had the same problem | 08:13 |
| Bakerconspiracy | ok | 08:13 |
| holx | celthunder: thanks | 08:13 |
| Bakerconspiracy | well we are going to get the drivers right from the nvidia site then | 08:13 |

| rcmind | Hello everyone I planning to switch to Libre Office and wanted to know if any one else have it install. | 08:18 |
| celthunder | rcmind, it's basically openoffice | 08:18 |
| celthunder | so if you've ever used that you're not looking at much difference | 08:19 |
| ejv | sanity check my friends! for a large array (formerly five, adding a sixth) of low power green drives, is it customary for a reshape to take 2 days? | 08:19 |
| rcmind | celthumber Yeah but I think it has new features OpenOffice don't. | 08:20 |
| rcmind | I searching google now | 08:21 |
| adminewb | My 802.11g PCI wireless adapter on linux i386 requires ndiswrapper to use a Win32 driver; am I without recourse for using the same hardware on linux amd64? | 08:21 |
| celthunder | adminewb, it would stand to reason | 08:23 |
| applesouce | Hello | 08:23 |
| applesouce | Is there somebody that might have the time to help me :) | 08:24 |
| celthunder | adminewb, if theres not a 32 bit kernel module that supports your hardware without ndiswrapper it's doubtful theres a 64 bit one | 08:24 |
| celthunder | applesouce, 20$ donation required time has run out | 08:24 |
| Bakerconspiracy | lol celthunder | 08:24 |
| xidica | please.... | 08:24 |
| appu | hello | 08:24 |
| xidica | Jun 5 02:02:44 xidbox kernel: [ 291.727163] ata1: SError: { Handshk } | 08:24 |
| xidica | someone help me with this | 08:24 |
| adminewb | celthunder, and you're saying then that no one's done a 64 bit ndiswrapper to support windows 64 bit drivers | 08:25 |
| xidica | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/591532 | 08:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 591532 in linux (Ubuntu) "[LUCID-NATTY] ata errors { DRDY ERR } { ABRT }" [Medium,Triaged] | 08:25 |
| celthunder | adminewb, no i didn't say that | 08:25 |
| xidica | it's related to this, but my hard drive is not failling at all...SATA controller causing these errors | 08:25 |
| xidica | i've tried disabling native command queueing, still have problems | 08:25 |
| celthunder | Bakerconspiracy lol least someone got it | 08:25 |
| RB_ | I want to learn about Terminal . | 08:26 |
| celthunder | xidica what is your sata port mode set to | 08:26 |
| celthunder | RB_, ok what about it? | 08:26 |
| celthunder | RB_, and which terminal | 08:26 |
| xidica | celthunder, it may be set to auto as far as speed between 3GB and 6GB, but it's set AHCI, and it also happens in IDE PATA emulation | 08:27 |
| RB_ | how to use termina in Ubuntu | 08:27 |
| xidica | the motherboard I am using has the marvell sata controller I believe, the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 | 08:27 |
| adminewb | celthunder, so how would I go about discovering one or confirming it doesn't exist? | 08:27 |
| appu | hey | 08:27 |
| celthunder | xidica, was just making sure it was in AHCI.. | 08:28 |
| celthunder | adminewb, whats the chipset in your wireless card | 08:28 |
| appu | <ielezovikj> | 08:28 |
| xidica | celthunder, yes, I also have this patch applied to kernel boot options : GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=noncq" | 08:28 |
| llutz_ | !cli | RB_ | 08:28 |
| ubottu | RB_: 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 | 08:28 |
| xidica | celthunder, it no longer seems to show the errors as it was or freezes hard now, but it does go through excessive periods of SATA/IO lag | 08:29 |
| xidica | celthunder, i was wondering if rolling back to an older kernel or something may fix it | 08:29 |
| celthunder | xidica, did it work with an older kernel? | 08:29 |
| xidica | celthunder, without disabling NCQ | 08:29 |
| xidica | celthunder, one person on bug report said it did, but I don't have any old kernels | 08:29 |
| celthunder | xidica, kernel.org | 08:30 |
| xidica | celthunder, this is a fairly fresh 11.04 natty install, I was thinking about rolling back to an older one | 08:30 |
| xidica | celthunder, I'm normally a CentOS and originally NetBSD/Gentoo guy, so i'm familiar with rolling my own, just not necessarily how "ubuntu does it" | 08:30 |
| xidica | celthunder, should I roll my own manual? or use some ubuntu tool to assist in integrating it with grub-upgrade and the sort | 08:30 |
| celthunder | xidica, lol i use arch i don't even use ubuntu i just help out here so i can feel like i contribute | 08:30 |
| adminewb | celthunder it's a Marvell chip, let me see | 08:31 |
| xidica | celthunder, I hear ya...i've heard great things about arch, may try it...currently jut have my bitcoin mining rig running this ubuntu install so i'm trying to square away this stupid SATA issue | 08:31 |
| celthunder | xidica, could be worse...building gcc takes a lot longer than building a kernel :) | 08:32 |
| applesouce | Hi | 08:32 |
| celthunder | applesouce, welcome back | 08:32 |
| applesouce | Somebody there that could help me with my problem? | 08:32 |
| xidica | celthunder, ha...i remember the old gentoo stage 1 days | 08:32 |
| adminewb | celthunder, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] | 08:32 |
| applesouce | I'm not so good in selfsolving^^ | 08:33 |
| celthunder | xidica, i recently just did an lfs install again because i was bored lol | 08:33 |
| applesouce | I'm a "Fresh" user | 08:33 |
| celthunder | applesouce, tell use the problem not that you have one | 08:33 |
| applesouce | yesterday I switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 11.04 | 08:33 |
| xidica | celthunder, oh lord bootstrap it | 08:33 |
| applesouce | ok so like I said I was a Windows user | 08:33 |
| llutz_ | applesouce: and you problem is? | 08:33 |
| llutz_ | your* | 08:33 |
| xidica | celthunder, you remember the days when linux was actually complicatedish? like 2.0.33 kernel days? | 08:33 |
| new2net | In Natty how do I write an alias (they go away when I restart). Like... alias wth='ps -uxa | more' | 08:33 |
| applesouce | and I like to play games^^ | 08:34 |
| applesouce | computer games | 08:34 |
| xidica | new2net, add it to your .bashrc | 08:34 |
| llutz_ | new2net: add it to ~/.bashrc | 08:34 |
| applesouce | so I wanted to make a virtuell windows | 08:34 |
| celthunder | xidica, it was never complicated...just required actual thought on the user before doing something stupid | 08:34 |
| applesouce | with FauMachine | 08:34 |
| celthunder | xidica, but yes...i do :) | 08:34 |
| applesouce | to install Windows | 08:34 |
| xidica | celthunder, right, but the days of grabbing slackware 3.0 on a dialup windows modem | 08:34 |
| applesouce | and play some games^^ | 08:34 |
| llutz_ | !enter | applesouce | 08:34 |
| ubottu | applesouce: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:34 |
| celthunder | xidica, winmodems were aweful | 08:34 |
| xidica | celthunder, and then having to wait 2 weeks for the distro to download,only to realize that you had to have some janky ndis style crap to even get winmodem to work in linux back then | 08:35 |
| celthunder | applesouce, virtualbox or vmware workstation/player | 08:35 |
| xidica | celthunder, those were the golden days...when getting sound working on linux install was a feat in and of it self, OSS | 08:35 |
| applesouce | Ok, and I have a big and small partition, the big one is /usr/local, and I don't even know what's stored on that, so I wanted to place my machine there, but I can't, please help :) | 08:35 |
| adminewb | celthunder, Marvell wireless chip is 88w8335 [Libertas] | 08:35 |
| celthunder | xidica, :) and you felt proud about your computer having that 5GB hdd | 08:35 |
| xidica | celthunder, and a 233mhz with mmx, you damn right | 08:36 |
| llutz_ | gaming in virtualbox should be restricted to minesweeper due to the poor 3d-graphics support | 08:36 |
| new2net | xidica, llutz_: thank you, someone told me this once before but I forget. hehe | 08:36 |
| YankDownUnder | applesouce, The /usr/local is a system directory | 08:36 |
| applesouce | So it was dumb to make it 800GB? | 08:36 |
| celthunder | applesouce, why would you make /usr/local a big partition? much less on it's own...maybe /usr but why /usr/local | 08:36 |
| xidica | applesouce, yes | 08:36 |
| YankDownUnder | applesouce, If you're going to install a virtual machine - of any sort - you'd want to have it live in your /home/username directory | 08:36 |
| xidica | applesouce, i recommend for a new installer, just do 4GB /tmp, 60GB /, and rest /home if you feel like it | 08:37 |
| celthunder | applesouce, if you're going to do that do it BSD style and make your home dir /usr/local/home | 08:37 |
| applesouce | can't I switch it with gparted? | 08:37 |
| celthunder | applesouce, easiest fix is hat i just said...make your home dir in /usr/local | 08:37 |
| RB_ | thank you | 08:37 |
| applesouce | how | 08:38 |
| celthunder | applesouce, cp -r /home /usr/local/home edit your /etc/passwd to reflect the change and change your $HOME variable to /usr/local/home/<username> | 08:39 |
| celthunder | applesouce, could just use mv instead of cp. | 08:39 |
| celthunder | applesouce, but you're probably logged in atm ...so using cp wouldn't break the hell out of your current X session | 08:39 |
| applesouce | Ok, ehm I use Ubuntu sense yesteday evening, please I don't understand anything.... | 08:40 |
| new2net | xidica, llutz_: Do I need to restart my tty session to see my new .bashrc aliases? | 08:40 |
| celthunder | applesouce, ok start by opening a terminal | 08:40 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:40 |
| xidica | new2net, source ~/.bashrc | 08:40 |
| celthunder | new2net, no source it | 08:40 |
| xidica | new2net, need not restart | 08:40 |
| celthunder | xidica, beat me to it | 08:40 |
| xidica | <3 | 08:41 |
| celthunder | :) | 08:41 |
| celthunder | xidica, pm? | 08:41 |
| celthunder | and how's the kernel build going | 08:41 |
| celthunder | applesouce, got one open? | 08:41 |
| applesouce | yes | 08:41 |
| applesouce | that I meant with ok xD | 08:41 |
| applesouce | sorry^^ | 08:41 |
| celthunder | applesouce, ok type this in or copy paste it sudo su - | 08:41 |
| new2net | xidica, celthunder: it worked :) thank you both very much | 08:42 |
| applesouce | ok now I'm on root | 08:42 |
| celthunder | applesouce, once you've done that you should be at a # sign yep | 08:42 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| applesouce | root@applesouce:~# | 08:42 |
| thomas__ | what channel can help with device file editing/device hacks? | 08:42 |
| celthunder | applesouce, now mkdir /usr/local/home | 08:42 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:42 |
| applesouce | made it | 08:42 |
| celthunder | applesouce, ok now vi /etc/fstab (replace vi with your editor of choice) | 08:43 |
| === Crash is now known as Guest86362 | ||
| petrolman | celthunder, give him nano | 08:43 |
| applesouce | what editor xD | 08:43 |
| xidica | celthunder, check your PM | 08:43 |
| celthunder | xidica, kk | 08:44 |
| petrolman | vi is not for beginners | 08:44 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:44 |
| applesouce | ehm I've just used vi because I don't know any others | 08:44 |
| notNicolas | I am baffled, and even insulted. | 08:44 |
| celthunder | notNicolas, ? | 08:44 |
| applesouce | but it looks complicated^ | 08:44 |
| notNicolas | Why do multiple monitors not work? | 08:45 |
| notNicolas | Why is the maximum resolution wrong? | 08:45 |
| celthunder | notNicolas, which wm/graphics card/etc | 08:45 |
| aricz | vim is pr0n | 08:45 |
| celthunder | notNicolas, man xrandr | 08:45 |
| notNicolas | Where is the taskbar? | 08:45 |
| notNicolas | Why can't I see what the windows are with alt+tab | 08:45 |
| notNicolas | Why did I need to download third party apps to use wireless? | 08:46 |
| celthunder | applesouce, ok you have some options under the /home partition that the /usr/local one does not yes? | 08:46 |
| celthunder | notNicolas, what wm because you have a shitty wireless card and because you didn't bind alt tab to anything | 08:47 |
| tomreyn | And most of all, what is the purpose of life, the universe and anything? | 08:47 |
| celthunder | tomreyn 42 | 08:47 |
| notNicolas | the heck is a wm? | 08:47 |
| celthunder | notNicolas, if you want a taskbar run trayer or something | 08:47 |
| thomas__ | looking for a printer hack channel??? | 08:48 |
| applesouce | well, I don't know, it looks so god damn complicated, I just see a lot of numbers and file systems and nothing to put text in | 08:48 |
| celthunder | applesouce, uhm vi is a text editor...anyway...go down to the usr/local partition (itll be the only one with /usr/local in it) | 08:48 |
| thomas__ | can some please help me out here?! | 08:50 |
| applesouce | ok ehm, I just scrolled and then a lot of B's and A's came and I cant scroll back.... And this all should be in my terminal right .... | 08:50 |
| tomreyn | thomas__: what's your real issue? | 08:50 |
| aricz | Apple, use some other editor instead, vi/vim is complicated | 08:50 |
| bazhang | !alis | thomas__ | 08:50 |
| ubottu | thomas__: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 08:50 |
| thomas__ | there for a sec it seemed like i as invisible | 08:50 |
| notNicolas | In multiple screens, any screen size I set gives mt he message "user set screen size larger than max screen size" QUALITY PROGRAMMING | 08:51 |
| celthunder | applesouce: press esc a few times then :q! | 08:51 |
| thomas__ | i'm just looking for a hack channel for printer hacks | 08:51 |
| bazhang | thomas__, /msg alis list *printer* | 08:51 |
| celthunder | applesouce: then hit enter it should exit | 08:51 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:51 |
| thomas__ | k thanks. | 08:51 |
| bazhang | thomas__, that has nothing to do with ubuntu, so please stop asking here | 08:51 |
| celthunder | notNicolas: xrandr...what's the output | 08:51 |
| petrolman | applesouce, is this your first time on linux? than I advise you to install windows 7 back as your primary desktop system and then start Linux with the vm-ware VirtualBox to become familiar with it step by step | 08:51 |
| applesouce | I made one for back to the roots and opened a new terminal and I'm again on root with #, could I use another editor then vi? | 08:51 |
| notNicolas | dunno dude the terminal won't open anymore | 08:52 |
| celthunder | applesouce: ok nano /etc/fstab | 08:52 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:52 |
| thomas__ | bazhang, sorry i have no idea what i'm doing. | 08:52 |
| bazhang | thomas__, ask for help in #freenode then not here | 08:53 |
| applesouce | still in my terminal nothing really changed, but go on to the next step :) | 08:53 |
| notNicolas | my second monitor's screen size is 1920x1080, but the biggest screen size ubuntu will let me use is 1600x1200 | 08:53 |
| celthunder | applesouce: in the /usr/local mount after defaults add ,user_xattr,noatime | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | notNicolas: which video chip? | 08:53 |
| notNicolas | and on top of that I don't have the option to extend the display, both my screens just show the same thing. | 08:54 |
| celthunder | notNicolas: ctrl alt f1 | 08:54 |
| applesouce | its all in my terminal I can't add there because I cant even write^^ | 08:54 |
| celthunder | .... | 08:54 |
| celthunder | applesouce: fine that parts not technically important | 08:55 |
| celthunder | applesouce: just a few minor disk improvements | 08:55 |
| notNicolas | ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon HD4225 | 08:55 |
| applesouce | ok | 08:55 |
| applesouce | what could then solve my problem? | 08:56 |
| celthunder | applesouce: anyway then exit the editor and cp -r /home/<username> /usr/local/home | 08:56 |
| petrolman | cp -rp | 08:57 |
| celthunder | applesouce: then you WILL need to use an editor (idc what vi/emacs/nano/pico/vim/joe all work fine for me) to open /etc/passwd | 08:57 |
| Fudge | hi what other php packages do i need to install to make apache2 work with .php files instead of trying to save them. | 08:57 |
| applesouce | wait | 08:57 |
| applesouce | I should go back to root right | 08:57 |
| celthunder | applesouce: yeah you should be doing all this as root... | 08:57 |
| iceroot | Fudge: just php5 | 08:57 |
| Fudge | thats what i thought iceroot | 08:57 |
| iceroot | Fudge: after that restart apache | 08:57 |
| applesouce | cp -r /home/<username> /usr/local/home doesn't work | 08:58 |
| applesouce | it says something about missing targetdata | 08:58 |
| celthunder | applesouce: did you literally type that? | 08:58 |
| iceroot | applesouce: -a | 08:58 |
| iceroot | applesouce: and if it is not your home, use sudo cp -a /home/username /usr/local/home/ | 08:59 |
| bazhang | applesouce, did you type <username> instead of your name? | 08:59 |
| celthunder | applesouce: and as petrolman mentioned add -p (i was going to make you do a chown later but that saves a step) | 08:59 |
| applesouce | thats what I typed: cp -r /home/applesouce/usr/local/home | 08:59 |
| iceroot | applesouce: space missing | 09:00 |
| celthunder | applesouce: you deleted the space between applesouce and /usr | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | applesouce: why not just use ~/ instead, it will abstract itself to the user's home | 09:00 |
| zakwilson | gnome-volume-control has the ability to set input and output volumes over 100%, but indicator-sound only goes to 100%. Can I make indicator-sound set the volume higher? | 09:00 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: caue he's doing this as root... | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | celthunder: i see | 09:00 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip: and roots home better be /root unless he moved that too | 09:00 |
| celthunder | applesouce: anyway did you add the p to cp or no (doesn't matter we can change ownership later jw so i know | 09:01 |
| applesouce | now i wrote cp -rp /home/applesouce /usr/local/home | 09:01 |
| applesouce | and it went to the next line without a output | 09:01 |
| adminewb | I've discovered a distinct disadvantage to sharing filesystem "/home" between multiple installations of linux: for instance GNOME config settings or other things in dot directories are in major contention between installation with common user id's. People know of conventional ways to deal with this? | 09:02 |
| celthunder | applesouce: ok perfect now open /etc/passwd in an editor (nano/pico/vi/vim/emacs/joe idc) | 09:02 |
| applesouce | could you recoment an editor^^ | 09:02 |
| holx | how do I install linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic offline? | 09:02 |
| iceroot | holx: sudo dpkg -i debfile | 09:03 |
| roger21 | dpkg -i ? | 09:03 |
| celthunder | holx: download the .deb and then dpkg -i it | 09:03 |
| zakwilson | applesouce: if you have to ask, use nano. | 09:03 |
| celthunder | applesouce: i use vim/emacs | 09:03 |
| holx | thank you | 09:03 |
| applesouce | then nano | 09:03 |
| c2tarun | how to open ubuntu software center from terminal? | 09:03 |
| iceroot | c2tarun: type it in terminal | 09:03 |

| celthunder | c2tarun: synptics? | 09:03 |
| llutz_ | applesouce: if you will succeed and ever will have need for support here, please never forget to mention that you moved your $HOME to a very (linux) uncommon place | 09:03 |
| applesouce | ok | 09:04 |
| applesouce | so I write nano /etc/passwd | 09:04 |
| roger21 | how do i set up my network to auto reconnect ? or never disconnect ? (i meean lose paquet but not disable the connection when it is not working) | 09:04 |
| notNicolas | I got multiple monitors working... | 09:04 |
| notNicolas | but they only work if the screens are one on top of the other | 09:04 |
| celthunder | applesouce: ok got it open find the line with your username and change the /home/applesouce to /usr/local/applesouce | 09:04 |
| notNicolas | what the hell? Who would ever use that? | 09:04 |
| llutz_ | celthunder: /usr/local/home/applesource | 09:05 |
| celthunder | notNicolas: i would...jus to irritate you | 09:05 |
| iceroot | notNicolas: e.g. pinball emulators | 09:05 |
| applesouce | nothing happened so | 09:05 |
| applesouce | just passed to the next line without output | 09:05 |
| celthunder | llutz_: er yeah lol | 09:05 |
| celthunder | applesouce: ? do you have nano installed? | 09:05 |
| applesouce | ehm | 09:05 |
| applesouce | i guess not | 09:06 |
| celthunder | applesouce: even then it hsould return SOMETHING | 09:06 |
| notNicolas | if in Monitor Preferences I set the second monitor to the right of my other screen | 09:06 |
| iceroot | applesouce: why editing directly on /etc/passwd? there is "usermod" | 09:06 |
| applesouce | yes I have it installed | 09:06 |
| celthunder | iceroot: cause i'm lazy...and it's a 1 line edit and i know where it is without looking up the options | 09:06 |
| iceroot | applesouce: and please dont use a root-shell | 09:06 |
| notNicolas | then it doesn't detect the screen | 09:06 |
| iceroot | celthunder: doesnt matter, NEVER edit directly in /etc/passwd | 09:07 |
| applesouce | Ok it's very hard for me to follow one person, but it's even more harder to follow 2 different persons with different advices | 09:07 |
| celthunder | iceroot: i made all my users just fine editting it | 09:07 |
| llutz_ | celthunder: you're not a 1-day linux user | 09:07 |
| iceroot | celthunder: you, but dont suggest something like that in an ubuntu support channel please | 09:07 |
| notNicolas | Okay, if I move the position of my screen in the Monitor Preferences | 09:08 |
| notNicolas | then it disables the screen | 09:08 |
| applesouce | Ok, question here, is there a way to solve my problem in gparted? | 09:08 |
| celthunder | applesouce: lol one minute apparently i'm outnumbered i gotta read a man page for a sec | 09:08 |
| notNicolas | if I try to move the position of my screen in the Multiple Screens, it tells me that the screen has an invalid size | 09:08 |
| celthunder | applesouce: uhm without reinstalling no | 09:08 |
| applesouce | cant I just make my other partition bigger | 09:09 |
| notNicolas | will someone explain to me again how ubuntu passes off as anything better than a science fair project? | 09:09 |
| applesouce | and the usr/local smaller? | 09:09 |
| celthunder | applesouce, one sec | 09:09 |
| celthunder | and notNicolas because you're annoying | 09:09 |
| kerebrus | Can someone explain to me why if they are going to make empathy the default IM program why they don't keep it updated ... | 09:09 |
| celthunder | applesouce, in the root terminal usermod -d /usr/local/home/applesouce | 09:10 |

| applesouce | output came | 09:10 |
| applesouce | only options so | 09:10 |
| celthunder | applesouce, uhm yeah i forgot the user part | 09:11 |
| celthunder | lol | 09:11 |

| celthunder | applesouce, add applesouce after the directory | 09:11 |
| shane1 | hi guys | 09:11 |
| celthunder | applesouce, so your final command is usermod -d /usr/local/home/applesouce applesouce | 09:12 |
| celthunder | shane1, hi | 09:12 |
| applesouce | ok did that, usermod: user applesouce is not logged in at the moment | 09:12 |
| shane1 | i am facing a problem and try to solve this but no luck | 09:12 |
| shane1 | when i try to install in software like sound alsa i face this problem | 09:13 |
| shane1 | "E: oss4-dkms: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10" | 09:13 |

| bernie | is there a specific channel to discuss unity? | 09:14 |
| applesouce | ok | 09:14 |
| celthunder | bernie, #unity? (guessing) | 09:14 |
| applesouce | wait, I have a different idea | 09:14 |
| bernie | celthunder: it's quite deserted... | 09:14 |
| celthunder | applesouce, so did i but 3 people bitched about it | 09:14 |
| applesouce | sense my OS is just one day old, I have no problem reinstalling it^^ | 09:14 |
| === cypha` is now known as cypha | ||
| bernie | celthunder: ah, found: #unity3d | 09:15 |
| applesouce | but there is a last question, I have 1TB of space, how should I use it with what datasystems and stuff | 09:15 |
| llutz_ | applesouce: do a clean reinstall, mount your big partition as /home and you will be fine without trouble | 09:15 |
| celthunder | applesouce, then go for it...if you want advice on partitioning /boot 100Mb / about 7.5/10GB swap about 256MB and the rest in /home | 09:15 |
| holx | grr still cannot compile madwifi | 09:16 |
| celthunder | applesouce, if you want to keep your current install all you have left is setting your users home dir to /usr/local/home/<username> | 09:16 |
| shane1 | here is full detail | 09:16 |
| shane1 | http://pastebin.com/xTaQU2EV | 09:16 |
| applesouce | no it's fine^^ but thanks | 09:16 |
| shane1 | please ubuntu developer help me | 09:16 |
| celthunder | applesouce, and in general reinstalling isn't forced in linux...this isn't window s :) | 09:16 |
| shane1 | i will be thankful to you | 09:16 |

| holx | I've googled my ass off | 09:18 |
| holx | still cant get it to compile | 09:18 |
| holx | says it cannot detect kernel version | 09:18 |
| applesouce | /boot = 100mb, / = 10GB, /swap = 500mb, /home = rest | 09:18 |
| celthunder | shane1: what's in your make.log | 09:18 |
| celthunder | applesouce: how much ram do you have? | 09:19 |
| applesouce | 6GB | 09:19 |
| holx | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/where-is-kernelpath-in-ubuntu-11-04-a-878235/ this error exactly, but the resolution posted won't work | 09:19 |
| celthunder | then don't make a swap | 09:19 |
| applesouce | ok^^ | 09:19 |
| celthunder | or if you do 128/256MB is mor than enough | 09:19 |
| celthunder | you can always make a swap file later if needed or enable compcache etc | 09:19 |
| applesouce | then what exactly does /swap do, virtuell ram? | 09:19 |
| celthunder | yea | 09:19 |
| applesouce | ok that isn't needed yet xD | 09:20 |
| celthunder | pretty much and like i just said you can make a swapfile later/enable compcache (compresses ram) | 09:20 |
| shane1 | where i can view logo | 09:20 |
| shane1 | ? | 09:20 |
| applesouce | and /boot stores the bootfiles, does that make the boot faster? | 09:20 |
| shane1 | celthunder: where i can view make.log | 09:21 |
| shane1 | ? | 09:21 |
| celthunder | shane1: /var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/ for more information. | 09:21 |
| celthunder | applesouce: ? no it just keeps your grub/kernel sepearete | 09:21 |
| llutz_ | applesouce: no and extra /boot makes no sense if you don't use several linux-installations or zfs or raid | 09:21 |
| celthunder | llutz_: multiple kernels | 09:22 |

| celthunder | roger21: what's it going ot do if it's up if theres no networK? | 09:27 |
| roger21 | celthunder, because it does not reconnect when network is up again | 09:28 |
| celthunder | roger21: so that's your real problem...not that it goes down when it's supposed to | 09:28 |
| roger21 | yep, exactly | 09:28 |
| roger21 | and as i can't fix the real problem, i'm looking for an alternate solution | 09:29 |
| celthunder | llutz_: applesouce if you don't want a /boot you could use the 4th one as /usr most of the stuff there is rather small so hoose filesystem type accordingly or /tmp...can secure ita bit that way | 09:29 |
| llutz_ | roger21: using /etc/network/interfaces to configure your network? add "allow hot-plug" | 09:30 |
| Guest37860 | fuck | 09:30 |

| halvor | hello | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | celthunder: having extra /usr makes no sense today, since you cannot mount in ro anymore (imo) | 09:30 |
| llutz_ | roger21: allow-hotplug ethX it s | 09:31 |
| roger21 | llutz_, ok i look for that | 09:31 |
| celthunder | llutz_: eh not being in huge fs blocks | 09:31 |
| livcd | can anyone send me a guide how do i create extended partition ? | 09:32 |
| celthunder | llutz_: most of the stuff in /usr is tiny | 09:32 |
| llutz_ | celthunder: still makes no sense for average desktop-user | 09:33 |
| llutz_ | a 1-day user in special | 09:33 |
| celthunder | llutz_: eh i hate having everything in / and having stuff seperate never hurt if he doesn't want a /boot then /tmp is the next easiest to benefit from...but size is hard to guess ...so /usr is the easiest to do and benefit from | 09:34 |
| celthunder | llutz_: since i have no idea what he's going to throw in his /tmp anyway....besides that it's harder to guess filesize of stuff in /tmp | 09:35 |
| jiltdil | nvidia current version is saying that the driver is activated but not currently in use | 09:35 |
| jiltdil | how to make it in use | 09:35 |
| celthunder | and benefit from not having wierd fs blocks | 09:35 |
| celthunder | jiltdil: restart X? | 09:35 |
| celthunder | jiltdil: modprobe nvidia or whatever module it is and modprobe -r whatever you're using now | 09:36 |
| llutz_ | celthunder: the benefits are marginal and for a newbie-user it just makes it unnecessary complex. there are other things to lear 1st | 09:37 |
| jiltdil | <celthunder>modprobe nvidia saying that module not found | 09:37 |
| celthunder | jiltdil: idk how something can be active and not in use lol but uh that's likely not he module name just saying | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | learn* | 09:38 |
| jiltdil | <celthunder>ok see i am sending screenshot | 09:38 |
| celthunder | llutz_: yes marginal benefits are still fun... even if you don't use them or notice them.. | 09:38 |

| celthunder | adminewb: use the same UID/GID? | 09:40 |
| adminewb | well yes, UID/GID are in common | 09:41 |
| celthunder | adminewb:make sure you have the same version of gnome and etc installed? | 09:41 |
| adminewb | celthunder, that's harder to keep control of | 09:41 |
| llutz_ | adminewb: but you have to, because options/config may differ | 09:42 |
| tx0105 | does anybody know if there is any sort of cloud based office integration in Ubuntu | 09:42 |
| celthunder | adminewb: gnome.org or whatever...i'm sure they have a git repo pull it into your home dir and install the same repo in both ... done | 09:42 |
| adminewb | celthunder, that also doesn't get at the core of the matter, which is that different distros all using same release of GNOME may still have different ideas how they want default settings to be | 09:42 |
| tx0105 | something like a drop box into Google Docs | 09:42 |
| celthunder | adminewb: make them read only after you set the settings how you want | 09:43 |
| jiltdil | see it is saying this driver is activated but not in use http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/screenshotyqe.png/ | 09:43 |
| adminewb | celthunder, that would probably help, once I figure out how to restore things to how they were xD | 09:43 |
| celthunder | adminewb: and the .files are there FOR YOUR SETTINGS if somethings overwriting them it's a trash program anyway don't use it | 09:43 |
| adminewb | celthunder, wish it were so simple | 09:44 |
| jiltdil | i got the solution :) | 09:45 |

| cypha | what's useful about ubuntu server? | 10:01 |
| cypha | over regular ubuntu | 10:01 |
| elky | cypha, you don't have to uninstall a heap of stuff. | 10:02 |
| FranKz | Yesterday one of my friends recommended me a program which made usb bootable. My programs can't detect cds, so I can't burn the image, can I use the usb bootable program on the iso on a folder, then copy those files to cd? | 10:02 |
| cypha | aah, cool | 10:02 |
| FranKz | Would that work? | 10:02 |
| cypha | thanks elky | 10:02 |
| elky | cypha, also, its installer is a bit different and allows you to add some useful things at install time. | 10:03 |
| cypha | k, server edition it is then | 10:04 |
| FranKz | Can somebody help me? I need to burn an .iso and it doesn't detect the cds | 10:04 |
| cypha | seems it would be useful regardless then | 10:04 |
| elky | FranKz, what do you mean it doesn't detect them? Do you mean when you put the blank one in, or when you boot? | 10:05 |
| jenvy | cypha, it's also command line on base install, you have to install whatever desktop you want if you want a gui | 10:05 |
| cypha | elky, why is 32bit the recommended version for standard ubuntu, and 64bit for server edition? | 10:05 |
| FranKz | elky, I've used many cds and dvds because I need to move an .iso file, somehow they're not detected in any program :( | 10:05 |
| cypha | jenvy, ohh, that's really good to know | 10:05 |
| === ServerSurfer is now known as Guest52859 | ||
| FranKz | What can I do, elky? | 10:06 |
| === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw | ||
| jenvy | and cypha, i believe the recommended version is 32 bit because "regular users" will most likely run into less issues due to a wider support for the 32 bit platform, where as a lot of things are still barely/not compatible with 64 bit. i could be wrong though | 10:08 |
| FranKz | Can a CD or DVD with files inside be deleted? | 10:08 |
| FranKz | I mean, the files inside. | 10:08 |
| elky | jenvy, i've had no issues with 64bit in the past few years | 10:08 |
| klown | doesnt the 64bit include all 32bit libs? (could be wrong) | 10:08 |
| jenvy | neither have i :-p | 10:08 |
| cypha | i'm running it on vbox, so I hope 64bit doesn't use up too much memory | 10:09 |
| pfifo | jenvy, its more because 32 runs on 64, and some users dont know how many bits they have | 10:09 |
| cypha | that's my main concern | 10:09 |
| jenvy | it won't, it'll only use up as much memory as you give the vm. | 10:09 |
| FranKz | If I copy an .iso file into a DVD Folder without burn it, would it work? | 10:09 |
| cypha | jenvy, I meant 32 has less of a memory requirement than 64 | 10:09 |
| FranKz | or would it do nothing? | 10:10 |
| elky | FranKz, only special "rewritable" cds let you delete and stuff. | 10:10 |
| jenvy | cypha, if you have a modern computer, 64 bit is pretty safe for everything...(from my experience anyways) | 10:10 |
| elky | FranKz, I can't tell you why your programs cannot see the drive. Possibly the drive is mechanically broken? | 10:11 |
| jenvy | you only start worrying when you run a ton of vms at the same time | 10:11 |
| cypha | i'm on a laptop, and was concerned because i'm running it on vbox to use as a server | 10:11 |
| FranKz | And how can I copy an .iso file into a CD / DVD? I can't burn them because the programs don't detect them :( but folders r still appearing | 10:11 |
| FranKz | how do I repair / download tha tdrive, elky? | 10:11 |
| Fudge | any known problems getting proftpd to work in natty | 10:11 |
| pfifo | elky, ive heard that issue come up many times over the past few weeks, its likely a bug or misconfiguration | 10:12 |
| klown | k, I kind of have an issues, and I'm looking for some solutions. I want to move over from win7 to ubuntu, but there is two reasons why I can't. I use a program once a week that required .net 4, which wine will not support, and I like the "watch it now" netflix movies. I'm considering a VM for win7 for the two programs, but would it be a pain everytime I need windows, to run those two, or is there any other options? | 10:12 |
| pfifo | klown, qemu might work a bit better | 10:13 |
| jenvy | klown, i'd test out watching a movie through a vm in linux first, it might be really laggy | 10:13 |
| FranKz | Now Xfburn is saying "Unit is not accessible (it may be in usage)" and I'm not even using the CD ._. ! | 10:13 |
| pfifo | klown, just dual boot, like everyone else that needs windows :) | 10:13 |
| Fudge | agreed | 10:13 |
| FranKz | I have Win 7 CD, sadly the network is not accessible there, it really sucks checking the network, I wonder why it works on Windows XP, on Xubuntu, and not on Win 7, were there even good changesd? | 10:14 |
| klown | pfifo, I've never had good luck dual booting. Everytime I do, my linux gets destroyed, and I don't know how. | 10:14 |
| klown | not right away either, normally takes a few weeks. | 10:14 |
| FranKz | I've searched for lots of things to do to repair win 7 network, but all of them didn't work | 10:14 |
| pfifo | klown, well thats hardly dual bootings fault, find the root of the problem | 10:15 |
| Leonw | Hi, | 10:15 |
| elky | FranKz, we can't really help with win7, but I suspect it means the drivers are missing. you'll need to search the internet for the model number of the drive with the words "drivers win7" | 10:15 |
| Leonw | any one knows if it's possible to configure apt to run a pre and a post script before and after every run? | 10:16 |
| FranKz | elky, the first time I installed win 7 network was working well, after reboot it wasn't, then I reinstalled and it stopped working | 10:16 |
| elky | FranKz, is this wireless internet? if so, try plugging a cable into it. | 10:17 |
| FranKz | All I wish I could do is burn winxp.iso on CD and install it with Xubuntu, sadly programs aren't detecting the CDs T_T | 10:17 |
| FranKz | I use cable for internet | 10:17 |
| elky | FranKz, which programs? | 10:17 |
| FranKz | Xfburn, Brasero, k3p | 10:17 |
| FranKz | k3b* | 10:17 |
| FranKz | After few secs it says the "UDF Volume" was mounted automatically and a folder empty appears, anyway, Xfburn is still saying it's in usage, or multisession is not supported | 10:18 |

| Bartzy | hi | 10:20 |
| Bartzy | flush-0:16 - this process is taking 100% CPU of one of my cores, it never stops that. What is that process ? | 10:20 |
| llutz_ | FranKz: replace it | 10:20 |
| FranKz | What do I do with it, llutz? | 10:20 |
| Bartzy | It happens on more than one server, all of them are NFS clients if it has anything to do with it. | 10:20 |
| FranKz | Sorry for the noob question llutz_ , what do I have to type ? xd | 10:20 |

| llutz_ | FranKz: where is your iso located? | 10:21 |
| FranKz | Desktop | 10:21 |
| pfifo | Bartzy, use the 'top' command to track running processes | 10:21 |
| Bartzy | pfifo: I do, that's where I found it. But what is it ? Why is it taking so much CPU ? | 10:21 |
| llutz_ | FranKz: cd ~/Desktop ; growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=file.iso replace file.iso with correct iso-name | 10:21 |
| pfifo | Bartzy, what is it? | 10:22 |
| Bartzy | pfifo: the name of the process is "flush-0:16" . It takes exactly 100% CPU of 1 core . | 10:22 |

| Bartzy | pfifo: Why it takes 100% CPU ? :\ | 10:23 |
| pfifo | Bartzy, it should be ulimited and niced to only take up what you can spare | 10:24 |

| gentoo_drummer | hello everyone.. not familiar with grub 2, can someone tell me how to load ubuntu using grub through the menu.lst? | 10:35 |
| skiwithpete | hi | 10:35 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: theres no menu.lst with grub2, its /boot7grub/grub.cfg | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: theres no menu.lst with grub2, its /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: running "sudo update-grub" should find any other linux-installation and add it to grub.cfg | 10:36 |
| Bartzy | pfifo: I have async on /etc/exports, and acdirmin=0,acdirmax=0 on the client (mount options). That can cause that ? :\ | 10:36 |
| pfifo | gentoo_drummer, it should be as simple as running 'update-grub' and letting it auto probe | 10:36 |
| gentoo_drummer | pfifo: i dont want to do tht.. i am using grub on gentoo and using menu.lst | 10:37 |
| gentoo_drummer | just need the ubuntu entry | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: let ubuntu write grub2 into partition and chainload from gentoo then | 10:37 |
| gentoo_drummer | wtf | 10:37 |
| HowToLearn | pfifo: that link provides instructions on how to configure initcpio, correct. But you cannot set up ubuntu like that, because initcpio doesn't work the same as in Arch. Moreover, Arch's installation GUI allows you to select the destination folders manually, while ubuntu doesn't seem to allow you to do so (i.e. I don't know how to tell ubuntu's installer to use /dev/mapper/whatever as a target instead of /dev/sdaX ) | 10:38 |
| skiwithpete | I'm having problems with Bluetooth, and I'd like to erase the configuration files - where are they and how do I delete them? | 10:38 |
| pfifo | Bartzy, Im not sure what those options do, you can always experiment and see what happens | 10:39 |
| HowToLearn | pfifo: in short, the problem is that you cannot extrapolate Arch's setup to ubuntu's | 10:39 |
| pfifo | gentoo_drummer, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 10:39 |
| gentoo_drummer | i probably just need to add the initrd and vmlinuz | 10:39 |
| pfifo | HowToLearn, can you debootstrap? | 10:39 |
| gentoo_drummer | thats on the /boot ubuntu partition | 10:39 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: just use the links /vmlinuz and /initrd.img | 10:39 |
| thevishy | how do I install cream desktop env | 10:39 |
| HowToLearn | pfifo: I don't know how to use debootstrap | 10:40 |
| vagvaf | pfifo: it cannot even find the package u mention (not even the gnome-desktop3) | 10:40 |
| pfifo | HowToLearn, thats a good place to start, try followint the customizedlivecdfromscratch guide to learn to build a system from nothing, mkinitramfs will use any info in /dev/mapper and /etc/crypttab to setup you initramfs correctly... all the partitioning and background information for dm-crypt is explained on the archwiki page. | 10:42 |
| llutz_ | gentoo_drummer: 5 lines "title ubuntu" "root /dev/sdXY" "kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY" "initrd /initrd.img" "boot" just replace sdXY to your actual partition | 10:43 |
| HowToLearn | pfifo: thank you. I'll start with the guide you tell me and see if I understand it. :) | 10:43 |

| thegoodcushion | llutz_: I actually think that the low-res screen is better. The higher it is, the smaller the writing | 11:26 |
| NineTeen67Comet | thegoodcushion: If you are going to code on a netbook look for the 11.6 version . much better resolution .. still too small really for that; but it'll do in a crunch .. (I use this 13" HP and it does "okay"). | 11:26 |
| azert | hi there | 11:26 |
| azert | is it the correct of sed ? | 11:27 |

| llutz_ | sed -i 's/old.doc/new.doc/' file | 11:27 |
| azert | i can't see the difference between your line and mine ? | 11:28 |

| jiltdil | hi i have nvidia driver recommeded installed but it is showing that the driver is activated but not in use any solution to this. | 11:30 |

| llutz_ | skiwithpete: you might "unset LD_PRELOAD" | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | llutz, that sucks, cuz my webcam still doesn't work in Skype | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | llutz_, just that, unset LD_PRELOAD or the rest of the command too? | 11:37 |
| llutz_ | skiwithpete: "unset LD_PRELOAD" and then just run skype | 11:37 |
| llutz_ | skiwithpete: btw skype sucks too ;) | 11:37 |
| skiwithpete | llutz, what's crazy is that the webcam used to work, then I did a kernel update in 10.04 and it stopped working, and I haven't got it back since | 11:38 |
| skiwithpete | it works in cheese! | 11:39 |
| jiltdil | ActionParsnip:any idea? | 11:39 |

| pantteri | i have clean install of newest ubuntu. What do i have to do to be able to connect it via ssh from another machine? | 12:41 |
| treebeen | oh, nice. this was just a test... :) | 12:41 |
| ikonia | pantteri: install the package openssh-server | 12:41 |
| pantteri | ikonia: thanks. i was not sure that should i install that one or not | 12:42 |
| cypha | ikonia, I'll def be reading the admin help pages. But can you tell me is there an efficient command that can remove the gksu package and its dependencies? | 12:42 |
| ikonia | cypha: that guide will tell you | 12:42 |
| pastorn | HEL!! | 12:42 |
| pastorn | HELP!!! | 12:42 |
| ikonia | pantteri: ask a question then | 12:42 |
| pastorn | I have a space eating monster on my system!! | 12:42 |
| ikonia | pantteri: sorry, | 12:42 |
| ikonia | pastorn: ask a question in a normal sensible way please, explain it | 12:42 |
| pastorn | $ watch -n 1 df -h | 12:43 |
| pastorn | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | 12:43 |
| pastorn | /dev/sda1 7.7G 7.3G 2.9M 100% / | 12:43 |
| pastorn | and it's going down | 12:43 |
| FloodBot1 | pastorn: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:43 |
| cypha | ikonia, apt-get remove --purge gksu ? | 12:43 |
| ikonia | cypha: what does the guide say | 12:43 |
| pastorn | now i'm at 8.0 k | 12:43 |
| pastorn | i just freed up 30 MB by uninstalling something, but the monster ate it all! | 12:43 |
| arand | pastorn: Is there particualrly large files in /var/log ? | 12:44 |
| ikonia | pastorn: stop with this monster stuff please | 12:44 |
| ikonia | pastorn: if you do a "du -h | more" you can see the larger directories, you can then house keep them | 12:44 |
| livcd | What is the error sparse file not allowed and how di i fix it ? | 12:44 |
| cypha | ikonia, apt-get remove foo | 12:44 |
| ikonia | cypha: ok - so do that then | 12:44 |
| livcd | New installation of ubuntu | 12:44 |
| cypha | ikonia, I was concerned about the dependencies | 12:45 |
| ikonia | cypha: that won't get them | 12:45 |
| livcd | Can anyone help me ? | 12:45 |
| pastorn | arand: /var/log$ sudo du -sh * | grep M # gives me nothing :( | 12:45 |
| cypha | adding --purge removes the configurations too, so I guess that should help remove more | 12:45 |
| ikonia | cypha: it won't | 12:45 |
| cypha | ikonia, so how can I get them? | 12:45 |
| pastorn | ikonia: i don't know how else to explain it :( | 12:45 |
| ikonia | pastorn: who told you to do that | 12:45 |
| cypha | , the additional packages, that is | 12:46 |
| ikonia | pastorn: who told you to run that command | 12:46 |
| llutz_ | cypha: learn to use aptitude, it's much better in removing deps etc. | 12:46 |
| Priyanka1 | how to configure network in ubuntu through shell | 12:46 |
| Priyanka1 | ?? | 12:46 |
| cypha | or how can I get a list of recently installed packages, so I can remove them all manually? | 12:46 |
| pastorn | ikonia: arand told me to look for large files in /var/log | 12:46 |
| arand | pastorn: Try likewise in your home dir, /root ... | 12:46 |
| ikonia | pastorn: what command did I tell you to run | 12:46 |
| cypha | llutz_, yeah, that's what all the forums are saying, but i've already dug this whole for myself (but I know for future ref) | 12:47 |
| Priyanka1 | :) | 12:47 |
| mollonado | cypha: dpkg --get-selections | less | 12:47 |
| Priyanka1 | please help me I am new to linux .. | 12:47 |
| ikonia | pastorn: use the gui then | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Priyanka1: use the gui then | 12:47 |
| ikonia | pastorn: sorry, not you | 12:48 |
| arand | pastorn: But You might want to not grep for M if it happens to be files of GB... | 12:48 |
| pantteri | is the default installation of ssh server secure? or should i change something ? | 12:48 |
| mollonado | Priyanka1: man interfaces | 12:48 |
| ikonia | pastorn: cd to / then do "du -h | more" and look for large directories | 12:48 |
| livcd | By looking at google i can see this in a lot of bugtrackers...was this even fixed ? | 12:48 |
| iceroot | Priyanka1: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0; sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 12:48 |
| ikonia | pantteri: it's fine | 12:48 |
| llutz_ | mollonado: that will print ALL installed packages, not only the recently installed | 12:48 |
| Priyanka1 | ya ... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts can we do like that | 12:48 |
| iceroot | Priyanka1: replace it with your ips | 12:48 |
| cypha | mollonado, that doesn't give any indication of chronological order | 12:48 |
| iceroot | Priyanka1: if you want dhcp just use "sudo dhclient eth0" | 12:48 |
| pastorn | ikonia: the list i get is extremely large... | 12:49 |
| Priyanka1 | okay okay.. thanks.. iceroot | 12:49 |
| pantteri | ikonia: maybe i should install fail2ban or something? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | pastorn: yes, so go through it looking for large directories, then house keep them | 12:49 |
| ikonia | pantteri: why ? | 12:49 |
| arand | pastorn: pipe through sort -h | 12:49 |
| arand | pastorn: or do -sh * to only show one depth | 12:49 |
| pastorn | --max-depth=1 + | 12:50 |
| pastorn | ? | 12:50 |

| rcconf | hello | 12:52 |
| cypha | ok, so in conclusion, there is no way to find out what packages were 'most recently' install in order to remove them | 12:52 |
| rcconf | im trying to create an ad hoc network | 12:52 |
| _Narc_ | Hello all. I tried to find a way to reorder GRUB2 entries, but what I found is not very clear. Can someone give me some clues on how to do this ? Thanks. | 12:52 |
| cypha | and I should reformat the drive | 12:52 |
| cypha | to reinstall | 12:52 |
| rcconf | but ad hoc is grayed out | 12:52 |
| llutz_ | cypha: check logs /var/log/dpkg* and /var/log/apt/* | 12:52 |
| rcconf | im using nm-applet | 12:52 |
| rcconf | hm | 12:53 |
| rcconf | do I need 2 computers with an wireless card? | 12:53 |
| Priyanka1 | what is the difference between lilo and grub boot loader | 12:53 |
| Priyanka1 | ? | 12:53 |
| llutz_ | rcconf: how else do you want to establish an ad-hoc connection? | 12:53 |
| rcconf | llutz_: Im learning | 12:54 |
| livcd | Priyanka1: lilo sucks less | 12:54 |
| rcconf | llutz_: what I am trying to do is this: laptop connect to etherned.. ad hoc created... now from this computer I want to use wireless internet but I only have a pen wireless | 12:54 |
| rcconf | connected lol | 12:55 |
| llutz_ | rcconf: so you have to create ad-hoc connection from pc to laptop and enable ip-forwarding/-masquerading on the laptop | 12:56 |
| kdg | Priy, lilo is older than grub | 12:56 |
| pastorn | arand: /usr is 5.3 GB | 12:56 |
| kdg | Priy, when you update lilo, you have to reinstlal it to the mbr | 12:56 |
| rcconf | llutz_: nm-applet detects ad hoc but it's grayed out | 12:56 |
| pastorn | /usr/lib 1.7 GB, /usr/share 1.9 GB | 12:57 |
| pastorn | is this normal? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | pastorn: depends what you have installed | 12:57 |
| pastorn | ikonia: some dev tools, most recently git with -doc and -*something else that was mentioned in Pro Git* | 12:58 |
| ikonia | pastorn: that seems large, but not impossible | 12:58 |
| rcconf | llutz_: "enable ip-forwarding/-masquerading" | 12:59 |
| rcconf | what is that | 12:59 |
| llutz_ | rcconf: "tell the laptop to forward network-traffic from/to your other computer" | 12:59 |
| llutz_ | !ics | rcconf read this to get an idea | 13:00 |
| ubottu | rcconf read this to get an idea: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 13:00 |
| rcconf | llutz_: connect is set to shared | 13:00 |
| rcconf | connection | 13:00 |
| llutz_ | rcconf: ah, its a windows-laptop? | 13:00 |
| pastorn | ikonia: http://codepad.org/QUXglVS9 <-- my space wasters... | 13:00 |
| livcd | btrfs still requires separe /boot partition that is why im getting sparse file not allowed error ? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | pastorn: that doesn't add up to 1.7 gb | 13:01 |
| rcconf | llutz_: ubuntu to ubuntu | 13:01 |
| cypha | llutz_, so basically I installed A LOT of crap I can't use from the CL. what would you do at this point, reformat? | 13:01 |
| pastorn | ikonia: notice the "..." | 13:01 |
| cypha | like it's not practical for me to uninstall each and everything there | 13:01 |
| ikonia | pastorn: no, I don't see any ..... | 13:01 |
| llutz_ | cypha: depends on how long the new setup would take | 13:02 |
| pastorn | ikonia: line 2 and 33 | 13:02 |

| ikonia | pastorn: why are you posting this to me then ? | 13:02 |

| livcd | ikonia: i am enjoying this ride | 13:03 |
| kdg | Cso you installed all the docs? no need to reformat over that | 13:03 |
| pastorn | ikonia: i thought i shouldn't burden you with a paste of all 2092 lines from listing the contents of /usr/lib | 13:03 |
| llutz_ | cypha: there is no easy way to do it, easiest is to use aptitude from start, but even that won't help in all situations | 13:03 |
| ikonia | pastorn: so why give me anything | 13:03 |
| cypha | hmm, good to know | 13:03 |
| pastorn | i uninstalled plt-scheme and my monster is back... could i perhaps query the kernel for any file handles with writing access? | 13:04 |

| ikonia | pastorn: query the kernel....come on | 13:04 |
| pastorn | ikonia: i dunno, maybe htop has some cool features | 13:05 |
| ikonia | pastorn: just look for the big files and what's taking up the space, that will tell you hopefully what's eating the space | 13:05 |

| bazhang | livcd, not with the more recent kernel it does not. | 13:08 |

| livcd | bazhang: what is recent kernel for you ? | 13:08 |

| cypha | i created a short passwd when setting up ubuntu server, but now I'd like to change the password, so I type in passwd at the CL, and try changing the pw, essentially just changing the case. However, it is telling me the password is too short | 13:23 |
| cypha | how do I override this? | 13:23 |
| bazhang | cypha, use a longer one? | 13:24 |
| cypha | other than that | 13:24 |
| llutz_ | cypha: read a lot about "pam" and why you dont want to do, what you want to do | 13:25 |
| knoppies | cypha, Im not sure how to prevent it from rejecting your password, but an obvious (but probably not feasible ) solution would be to re-install the OS. I do recommend you use a longer password though. I am not sure why it lets you use a really short one on install. | 13:25 |
| cypha | the ubuntu install is just for local testing | 13:25 |
| knoppies | cypha, can't you just use the old password? (that not feasible either?) | 13:26 |
| cypha | it's on a vbox | 13:26 |
| cypha | i can do all those things, just wondering if there was a legitimate way to change the pw to what I wanted | 13:27 |
| llutz_ | cypha: there is, root could set short passwords | 13:27 |
| cypha | llutz_, GREAT,thanks | 13:28 |
| llutz_ | cypha: it's still a bad idea. get used to some stuff, even when running it as a vm-toy | 13:29 |

| BluesKaj | jakub, yes? | 14:22 |
| RevSpecies116 | I doubt you can, little_king | 14:22 |
| jakub | BluesKaj i'm in the right cataloge where my file is (via terminal ofcorz) | 14:22 |
| Emile31 | hello | 14:23 |
| Castbound | yo, how are you guys? I have a compaq presario cq62 running ubuntu 10.04 everything runs smoothly but the fact that sound won't autoswitch from speakers to headphones when I plug my headphones, so this results in me hearing from the headphones and the speakers, which is not good | 14:23 |
| jakub | BluesKaj now: ./PokerTH-0.8.3-linux-installer.bin ? | 14:23 |
| little_king | mhh | 14:23 |
| Emile31 | I am sorry to come and ask for a question that I know there are lot of topics on forums but I don't find any working solution | 14:24 |
| Tetracomm | Ok, how do I transfer gbs of files from my Ubuntu computer to the Windows 7 one? My USB drive is not big enough. | 14:24 |
| RevSpecies116 | little_king don't worry - Windows nor MacOSX can do it either | 14:24 |
| jakub | BluesKaj how do i install the bin file? | 14:24 |
| jakub | install nameofbinfile.bin? | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | jakub, yes , your installation will put a folder with PokerTH-0.8.3 or something similar in your /home/user file | 14:25 |
| Emile31 | I have got bootmgr missing when starting my computer, I have Win 7 and I just installed Ubuntu, writing grub on /dev/Sda | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | jakub, hit the enter key | 14:25 |
| Miles--- | Hello guys | 14:25 |
| computerx | Can I set something so that files are always mode 0660? | 14:25 |
| computerx | In a certain folder | 14:26 |
| Emile31 | while Ubuntu is on dev/sda5 and win7 on dev/sda2 | 14:26 |
| little_king | and how can i encrypt a dic | 14:26 |
| little_king | ? | 14:26 |
| afein | Tetracomm, set up an ftp server if they're on the same network | 14:26 |
| Tetracomm | afein: How do I do that? | 14:26 |
| RevSpecies116 | Emile31 - a LiveCD should work | 14:27 |
| cypha | how do i paste into the terminal? ctrl+shift+v doesn't work? and for that matter, how do i highlight? | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | jakub, ./PokerTH-0.8.3-linux-installer.bin in the terminal , then press the enter key to install | 14:27 |
| little_king | how can i reset the apt-get/source list? | 14:27 |
| computerx | Paste from the menu | 14:27 |
| computerx | Highlight/Copy with your mouse and menu | 14:27 |
| cypha | computerx, i'm on ubuntu server | 14:28 |
| LjL | jakub: why would you install that as a .bin? it's in the repositories! | 14:28 |
| LjL | !info pokerth | jakub | 14:28 |
| ubottu | jakub: pokerth (source: pokerth): Texas hold'em game. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.3-1 (natty), package size 1506 kB, installed size 3776 kB | 14:28 |
| afein | Tetracomm: follow this guide http://goo.gl/kN3cG | 14:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | Boot to the liveCD and you can access both HDD partitions and move files between them, Emile31 | 14:28 |
| Emile31 | RevSpecies116 : thanks for anwser, but if i reinstall grub... i ll not have win7 bootloader working ? | 14:28 |
| computerx | cypha: I don't think such thing as a clipboard exists outside of xwindows. You'd have to echo to a temp file.. | 14:29 |
| Castbound | I have a compaq presario cq62 running ubuntu 10.04 everything runs smoothly but the fact that sound won't autoswitch from speakers to headphones when I plug my headphones, so this results in me hearing from the headphones and the speakers, which is not good | 14:29 |
| cypha | computerx, oh, interesting, k | 14:29 |
| RevSpecies116 | Just use the liveCD to move the files - install not required | 14:29 |
| Emile31 | ok | 14:30 |
| bingo | hello | 14:30 |
| Emile31 | RevSpecies116 : would you know what hdX,X (for isntance) dev/sda5 would correspond to ? | 14:30 |
| balachmar | Hi, I want to stop the xserver on a remote machine (I'm logged into it using ssh). Because I need to install the nvidia dev drivers (OpenCL development) However, sudo stop gdm and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop don't do the trick Xserver is still running | 14:30 |
| theadmin | Emile31: hd(0,4) if I recall right | 14:30 |
| theadmin | balachmar: doh. sudo init 3 | 14:31 |
| Emile31 | ok | 14:31 |
| llutz_ | !runlevel | theadmin | 14:31 |
| ubottu | theadmin: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 14:31 |
| theadmin | llutz_: Oh, now that's weird. Okay, sorry | 14:31 |
| Emile31 | well thank you i ll try to solve by using livecd | 14:31 |
| bingo | to emile31: dev/sda5 means device 5 partitions | 14:31 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Don't listen to me, I'm stupid :D | 14:31 |
| llutz_ | balachmar: sudo service gdm stop should do* | 14:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | Emile31 - you will know as soon as you look :-) Windows HDD will have 'program files' and other Microsoft folders, and your Linux HDD will have etc use and other folders | 14:32 |
| bingo | toemile31:what u want to do? | 14:32 |
| balachmar | llutz_ yeah I know, but it doesn't... | 14:32 |
| llutz_ | theadmin: stupid? naaaa, this is ubuntu ;) | 14:32 |
| theadmin | llutz_: I'm an Arch user, so weird runlevel concepts aren't new to me ;) | 14:32 |
| computerx | Is there any way to force certain file permissions in a folder, either 0660 or make group always equal user? | 14:32 |
| rudra1 | what is the default permission number for /var folder? | 14:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | balachmar, try "sudo service gdm3 stop" | 14:33 |
| Emile31 | bingo : I just want to know where I will have to install grub when using livecd according to my installation | 14:33 |
| computerx | rudra1, probably 0755 | 14:33 |
| llutz_ | don't arch-users have a home? i wonder why they're all hanging around here... ;) | 14:33 |
| theadmin | Emile31: /dev/sda, GRUB is installed in MBR. | 14:33 |
| rcconf | llutz_: | 14:33 |
| theadmin | llutz_: I do so cause I'm <censored> bored | 14:33 |
| balachmar | @ZykoticK9: gdm3: unrecognized service | 14:33 |
| bingo | emile31: it will give u options of dev/sda.... | 14:33 |
| th0r | computerx: folders always need to be executable (0770). and to set all the permissions within the folder and subfolder use chmod -R | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | !pm | jakub | 14:34 |
| ubottu | jakub: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 14:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | balachmar, sorry - that's what debian currently uses. i have no idea then | 14:34 |
| Tetracomm | afein: Ok, thank you. I hope it works. | 14:34 |
| osse | I've just installed gnuplot from source. It's located in /usr/local/bin which is before /usr/bin in $PATH. Still, when I type gnuplot at the prompt the one in /usr/bin is started. 'which gnuplot' and 'whereis gnuplot' give different locations.What's going on here?? | 14:34 |
| rcconf | llutz_: now the ad-hoc doesn't appear grayed out because I changed from WPA to WEP (dangerous I know) .. But still can't connect to it | 14:34 |
| Emile31 | theadmin : yes so I told ubuntu to write grub on sda, so why ubuntu does not start ? | 14:34 |
| computerx | Yes th0r, but I want it to be automatic. It's a folder that various programs put files in... | 14:34 |
| rcconf | im using 10.42.43.* Ips | 14:34 |
| bingo | emile31:you want to dual boot or singe boot ? | 14:34 |
| balachmar | theadmin: does the init 3 still provide ssh access? | 14:34 |
| Emile31 | dual | 14:34 |
| llutz_ | computerx: you can try a combination of sticky bit and acls, there is no "per directory umask" unfortunately | 14:35 |
| computerx | Putting a cron bash script for it seems a bit of a hack to me | 14:35 |
| Emile31 | I had win7 and mint before | 14:35 |
| theadmin | balachmar: As I said, don't listen to me | 14:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | balachmar, is "sudo service gdm stop" doesn't work, you could manually kill the Xorg pid | 14:35 |
| Emile31 | so i wanted to install ubuntu over mint | 14:35 |
| phrearch | hello | 14:35 |
| theadmin | balachmar: But do try "/etc/init/gdm stop" | 14:35 |
| Emile31 | so i told ubuntu to write grub on sda | 14:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | balachmar, s/is/if/ | 14:35 |
| th0r | computerx: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=set+default+file+permissions&aq=f&aqi=g2g-v3&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=9589d0f2bb20ed2d&biw=949&bih=567 | 14:35 |
| balachmar | theadmin: that didn't work | 14:35 |
| theadmin | balachmar: I mean, without the .d | 14:35 |
| phrearch | i would like to know the dependencies of libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_1.3.13. i dont have ubuntu installed. is there any source where i can check the dependencies that ubuntu use for this package? | 14:35 |
| rcconf | im trying this ad-hoc for hours | 14:36 |
| bingo | emile31:first give free space in mint and then by guided partition u can install it . | 14:36 |
| anirudhr | phrearch: apt-cache showpkd | 14:36 |
| Emile31 | before I load mint with win7bootloader which brought me to grub then I selected Mint | 14:36 |
| anirudhr | phrearch: apt-cache showpkg | 14:36 |
| theadmin | phrearch: http://packages.ubuntu.com | 14:36 |
| balachmar | theadmin without the .d? | 14:36 |
| Emile31 | ok | 14:36 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Well, as in /etc/init, not /etc/init.d | 14:36 |
| anirudhr | phrearch: Oh wait, you don't have Ubuntu. | 14:36 |
| balachmar | theadmin aah I see | 14:36 |
| phrearch | anirudhr: yea :) | 14:36 |
| jakub | BluesKaj bash says: Acces denied, shal i do sudo ./PokerTh ? | 14:36 |
| computerx | Thanks llutz_ and th0r, I'll read up on both | 14:36 |
| Tetracomm | afein: vsftpd is now installed and started. How do I access my files from the Windows 7 computer which is connected to the same router. | 14:36 |
| balachmar | theadmin: command not found... :) | 14:37 |
| === jhellg is now known as abraxo | ||
| RevSpecies116 | phreach - launchpad should have that information :-) | 14:37 |
| Emile31 | well thank you all, I try to do with live cd and i will come back if i don t find a way to solve that | 14:37 |
| anirudhr | phrearch: Why not just Google it up? | 14:37 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Well too bad, I'm all out of ideas except maybe "killall X"? | 14:37 |
| Emile31 | thank you again, bye! | 14:37 |
| bingo | emile31:best of luck dude..... | 14:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | Good luck Emile31 | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | jakub, yes | 14:37 |
| balachmar | theadmin: what about the init 3? Does that still give me ssh access? | 14:38 |
| phrearch | anirudhr: was looking already, but havent found it yet | 14:38 |
| An_Ony_Moose | Does the main GPG key for the ubuntu repositories change across versions? | 14:38 |

| theadmin | balachmar: As llutz_ mentioned, all runlevels are equal, thus X would still be running if you switch to rl3 | 14:38 |
| ikonia | phrearch: what OS are you using | 14:38 |
| jakub | BluesKaj sudo ./PokerTh-0.8....... | 14:38 |
| jakub | commans not found | 14:38 |
| phrearch | ikonia: archlinux. trying to install a modified webkit binary | 14:39 |
| phrearch | anirudhr: thanks! | 14:39 |
| ikonia | phrearch: ok, then I suggest you ask in #archlinux | 14:39 |
| rcconf | !adhoc | 14:39 |
| anirudhr | phrearch: No problem. :) | 14:39 |
| balachmar | theadmin: aah, I missed that (didn't include my name...) | 14:39 |
| SimeonK | hi, are there any differences between pendrivelinux ubuntu & the normal ubuntu? | 14:39 |
| ikonia | phrearch: (unless I've missunderstood the question) | 14:39 |
| phrearch | ikonia: well, the deb works on ubuntu obviously. im trying to get the right libs that ubuntu uses as well | 14:40 |
| klown | I just installed 11.04 on my desktop, I'm using a 32inch tv as my monitor, whichever resolution I use, the desktop goes past the screen boarders, how can I fix this? | 14:40 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Happens :) | 14:40 |
| ikonia | phrearch: you can download the source package and the dependencies are in the description file | 14:41 |
| balachmar | theadmin: even kill (-9) doesn't work! | 14:41 |
| phrearch | libglib seems to be the source of evil on my system | 14:41 |
| theadmin | phrearch: Again, just navigate to http://packages.ubuntu.com and do a search | 14:41 |
| RevSpecies116 | klown - the problem could be the TV :-) | 14:41 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Okay, now that's totally awkward. | 14:41 |
| Castbound | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1436050 just in case someone is insterested | 14:41 |
| computerx | So the umask is a "not and" bitmask... | 14:41 |
| theadmin | balachmar: Probably a bug in the installer, lol | 14:42 |
| phrearch | theadmin: ok will do. thanks | 14:42 |
| computerx | Sooo, a umask of 07 will mean o-rwx? | 14:42 |
| klown | RevSpecies116, I've installed ubuntu on this, and fixed it before, I just cant recall how. | 14:42 |
| klown | I want to say it was the DPI settings in xorg.conf, but I cannot remember exactly how to do it. | 14:43 |
| llutz_ | computerx: yes | 14:43 |
| computerx | k, I think I get it, thanks :) | 14:43 |
| llutz_ | computerx: but you can't set it per directory | 14:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | computerx, umask is subtracted from default permission | 14:44 |
| computerx | The main program that's causing the issue is the transmission daemon, which I can set a umask in the config | 14:44 |
| RevSpecies116 | Ahhh, klown, I think the conf files are locked down in NN to more degrees than before... | 14:44 |
| balachmar | llutz_: You got any idea on how to get rid of Xorg when even kill (-9) doesn't work? | 14:44 |
| llutz_ | balachmar: what OS/distro? | 14:45 |
| balachmar | llutz_ Ubuntu 11.04 | 14:45 |
| BluesKaj | jakemp, go to the file location right click on it , choose properties , click "make executable ", then try again | 14:45 |
| llutz_ | balachmar: sudo pkill Xorg | 14:46 |
| klown | RevSpecies116, It would appear so, because my xorg.conf only has one line in it. | 14:46 |
| theadmin | Ubuntu without xorg is something ridiculous tbh [/offtopic] | 14:46 |
| BluesKaj | sorry jakemp , wrong guy | 14:46 |

| melvinz | Is it the same as installing Moonlight from the go-mono site? I've tried that but it doesn't work... | 14:59 |

| BluesKaj | theadmin, there's a rumour one can run netflix on linux with moonlight ..it's not the case, so he thought he could use silverlight source code on ubuntu | 15:03 |

| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | nope | 16:00 |

| bazhang | judget, join #freenode | 16:01 |
| plandoll12 | alright I | 16:01 |
| plandoll12 | I'll try that out | 16:01 |
| plandoll12 | if that doesn't help should I try to reinstall the kernel? | 16:02 |
| ikonia | plandoll12: no | 16:02 |
| ikonia | plandoll12: you should do that | 16:02 |
| ikonia | plandoll12: then feed back to us | 16:02 |

| phantomcircuit | i have some code id like to have packaged properly and im willing to pay someone else to do it since i dont have any idea how to do it properly | 16:04 |
| bazhang | !packaging | phantomcircuit | 16:04 |
| ubottu | phantomcircuit: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 16:04 |
| phantomcircuit | bazhang, yeah i was saying i dont know or want to learn so id rather pay someone to do it | 16:05 |
| bazhang | phantomcircuit, not the ways things work here | 16:06 |
| phantomcircuit | how many times do you have someone willing to pay for foss to be packaged? | 16:06 |
| ech0s7 | how can i configure synaptic touchpad speed? | 16:06 |
| ech0s7 | in preference>mouse i can change global speed mouse | 16:06 |
| ech0s7 | (usb + synaptic touchpad) | 16:06 |
| dfordivam | /msg NickServ identify dinoma | 16:07 |
| IdleOne | phantomcircuit: try asking in #ubuntu-packaging, you may find someone willing to take a look at the code and package it for you. | 16:07 |
| phantomcircuit | thanks | 16:07 |
| ech0s7 | i would set different speed for touchpad and usb mouse | 16:07 |
| IdleOne | phantomcircuit: offering to pay is almost insulting btw but maybe someone will take you up on it. | 16:07 |
| tomek_ | what is good video editing software for ubuntu? | 16:07 |

| bazhang | devede tomek_ | 16:08 |
| tomek_ | in win i have pinnacle ... | 16:08 |
| phantomcircuit | IdleOne, well i've had a couple of people say they'd do it and not follow through or even do like half the work | 16:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | tomek_, if you're looking for dvd output check out devede as bazhang just suggested | 16:08 |
| bazhang | tomek_, in other cases handbrake | 16:08 |
| phantomcircuit | IdleOne, i find people finish things if they're paid to do so, even if it's a small amount | 16:08 |
| IdleOne | phantomcircuit: devs like to package what they consider to be quality, this is why I suggest you ask them to help and not offer to pay. | 16:09 |
| phantomcircuit | the code is no quality | 16:09 |
| phantomcircuit | hehe | 16:09 |
| phantomcircuit | not* | 16:09 |
| IdleOne | phantomcircuit: probably why you haven't been able to find someone to attach themselves to it. but anyway ask in there and maybe someone will. | 16:10 |

| barberan | jon_athon, did you find something ? | 16:14 |
| EmuAlert | Can you set more than one key combination to the same shortcut? | 16:14 |
| jon_athon | barberan, my touchpad is erratic | 16:14 |
| jon_athon | if I touch it the pointer jumps all over | 16:14 |
| jon_athon | it clicks just by dragging around | 16:15 |
| jon_athon | double clicks | 16:15 |
| jon_athon | I think it's a speed addict | 16:15 |

| [THC]AcidRain | i need help changing permissions of my external drive. when i open nautilus it still says permissions denied | 16:15 |

| djiefo | Hi, is it possible to set Live! Cam Video IM Pro as default microphone with wine? | 16:15 |
| IdleOne | djiefo: ask in #winehq | 16:16 |
| bazhang | [THC]AcidRain, what filesystem | 16:16 |
| djiefo | IdleOne, thx | 16:16 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hold on | 16:16 |
| IdleOne | jon_athon: sounds like the touchpad is set way too sensitive. try adjusting the sensitivity in the Mouse settings. | 16:17 |
| [THC]AcidRain | HPFS/NTFS filesystem | 16:17 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, tried that | 16:18 |
| halvor | hello | 16:18 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, my sensitivity is the lowest it will go | 16:18 |
| robin0800 | jon_athon, install pointing devices | 16:20 |
| drudge01 | how do i gzip? | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | jon_athon: run: apt-cache policy tpconfig | 16:20 |
| [THC]AcidRain | bazhang: my main problem is when im logging into the ftp server. i get an error unable to set anonymous privaledges | 16:20 |
| IdleOne | is it installed? | 16:20 |
| drudge01 | do i use gzip -xcfg folder folder.zip | 16:20 |
| [THC]AcidRain | bazhang: i believe this has to do with me not being able to change the privaledges of the external drive | 16:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | drudge01, gzip uses a gz extension usually, not zip. | 16:21 |
| th0r | I have located a number of pages with differing methods to disable/remove gnome-keyring. Is there an up-to-date way to do this? | 16:21 |
| drudge01 | ok | 16:21 |
| drudge01 | do i use gzip -xcfg folder folder.gz | 16:21 |

| judget | here is a pastebin of what is happening http://pastebin.com/c0mJzR | 16:28 |

| ikonia | judget: that pastebin is empty | 16:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | judget, "Unknown Paste ID!" | 16:29 |
| judget | well the issue is that if i reboot mysql starts and seems to run fine here is my running version mysql> SELECT version(); | 16:29 |

| djiefo | (in xubuntu 11.04) Hi, I installed Ventrilo with wine and I try to find a way to set my webcam (Live! Cam Video IM Pro) as default microphone but I dunno how. And I don't see the option to take it in Ventrilo. All my friends using Ventrilo for voice chat... It works well but no microphone recognized at the moment | 16:29 |
| bazhang | djiefo, doubt that wine can do hardware, try #winehq to confirm | 16:30 |
| judget | ikonia the issue seems to revolve around trying to stop and restart mysql from /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 16:30 |
| djiefo | bazhang, i'm already on it... | 16:30 |
| ikonia | judget: what is the actual issue you're having | 16:30 |
| judget | it appeared during a postfix uninstall / reinstall | 16:30 |
| bazhang | djiefo, so be patient, that's the channel to ask in | 16:30 |
| D0minat0r | hi i have a problem, my /etc/environment has the correct path but all the logge din users gets wrong path, cant run ifconfig and so on | 16:31 |
| ikonia | judget: why do you keep referencing postfix | 16:31 |
| ikonia | judget: is this a mysql problem or a postfix problem | 16:31 |
| D0minat0r | anyone have an idea what i have done? | 16:31 |
| djiefo | bazhang, i'm patient, i am a linux user lollll | 16:31 |
| IdleOne | djiefo: apparently you're not patient you keep asking in here for help about something that isn't provided in here :) | 16:32 |
| judget | My apologies ikonia the issue began when I tried to uninstall / resinstall postfix. | 16:33 |
| ikonia | judget: ok - what is the actual issue | 16:33 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, Well, it's installed.. but it won't let me modify any settings | 16:33 |
| IdleOne | jon_athon: it is a GUI tool? | 16:34 |
| osse | Just installed gnuplot from source. It's located in /usr/local/bin which is before /usr/bin in $PATH. Still, when I type gnuplot at the prompt the one in /usr/bin is started. 'which gnuplot' and 'whereis gnuplot' give different locations. What's going on here?? | 16:34 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, no | 16:34 |
| IdleOne | jon_athon: try running with sudo perhaps. | 16:34 |
| djiefo | IdleOne, apparently... i maybe need a psychologist too | 16:34 |
| IdleOne | don't we all | 16:34 |
| djiefo | IdleOne, :) | 16:34 |
| klown_ | I'm having an issue with my screen resolution, resolutions in nvidia-xsettings wont fix it. Can't see my taskbars at all. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? | 16:35 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, ye I had a root terminal open | 16:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | klown_, are you using Unity or Classic? | 16:35 |
| klown_ | classic | 16:35 |
| judget | ikonia take a look at this paste please http://paste.ubuntu.com/619228/ | 16:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | klown_, ok, just checking | 16:36 |
| IdleOne | sorry jon_athon I don't know what else to suggest. | 16:36 |
| jon_athon | IdleOne, no worries | 16:36 |
| jon_athon | thanks | 16:36 |
| ikonia | judget: whats the problem | 16:37 |
| henux | Hi. | 16:37 |
| henux | How do I install eclipse? It's given me some weird error | 16:37 |
| judget | ikona maybe i shoudl be asking the postfix channel but it seems that postfix is trying to update mysql to 5.1 and for some reason that is failing | 16:37 |
| henux | Hello? | 16:37 |
| judget | ikonia maybe i shoudl be asking the postfix channel but it seems that postfix is trying to update mysql to 5.1 and for some reason that is failing | 16:37 |
| ikonia | judget: why do you keep referencing postfix, they are nothing to do with each other | 16:37 |
| EvilZimsky | Hmmm | 16:38 |
| edbian | henux: What's the error? | 16:38 |
| henux | It gives me 'java 1.4 is not supported by this package. Please install Java 1.6 first" | 16:38 |
| m00se | My mom tried to install walmart's picture upload software on her ubuntu machine and it screwed something up - anyone have any idea on what could have happened? | 16:38 |
| EvilZimsky | Trollolololololololol | 16:38 |
| EvilZimsky | Herpa derpa derpa derp | 16:38 |
| bazhang | EvilZimsky, stop that | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | mysql to 5.1 ? | 16:38 |
| bazhang | m00se, from where | 16:38 |
| judget | ikonia the reason i refer to postfix is that when i attempt to uninstall and reinstall postfix it seems that it may be trying to upgrade mysql or it is confused about the version of mysql that is running and the result is that mysql fails to restart | 16:38 |
| m00se | From the walmart website. | 16:39 |
| EvilZimsky | sorry | 16:39 |
| henux | m00se: ohai | 16:39 |
| m00se | hi henux | 16:39 |
| bazhang | m00se, ubuntu software? | 16:39 |
| EvilZimsky | couldn't resist the urge | 16:39 |
| ikonia | judget: first postfix is nothing to do with mysql - so forget about it, it has no interest/control over mysql | 16:39 |
| bazhang | EvilZimsky, take it elsewhere | 16:39 |
| m00se | I don't think so bazhang - it's windows/mac only. | 16:39 |
| bazhang | m00se, thats why then. not an ubuntu issue | 16:39 |
| [an]droidman | henux: then install java 1.6: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | -jre | 16:40 |
| henux | [an]droidman: oh ok thanks | 16:40 |
| edbian | m00se: Then she shouldn't have been able to make 1 mm of progress on Ubuntu. | 16:40 |
| robin0800 | m00se, was it for linux? | 16:40 |
| m00se | You don't know my mom. | 16:40 |
| winterdj | Has anyone had trouble with APF blocking outgoing traffic (like DNS lookups) even with outgoing filtering disabled? | 16:40 |
| m00se | She probably threatened it with a wooden spoon. | 16:40 |
| [an]droidman | IdleOne: both download for jdk | 16:40 |
| djiefo | IdleOne, actually, we can't do hardware with winehq but there's a linux program to use ventrilo servers called Mangler :) | 16:40 |
| djiefo | That why my question was post in both places | 16:40 |
| IdleOne | djiefo: happy you figured it out | 16:41 |
| judget | ikonia I would agree with you on that but for some reason when i do a apt-get install postfix it is distrubing the mysql | 16:41 |
| judget | if it were a soimple issue i would not be addressing it here | 16:41 |
| edbian | m00se: Well perhaps we can repair what happened. What is the immediate problem? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | judget: it possibly wants to shut it down before the install | 16:41 |
| ikonia | !info postfix | 16:41 |
| ubottu | postfix (source: postfix): High-performance mail transport agent. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.2-1ubuntu2.1 (natty), package size 1137 kB, installed size 3336 kB | 16:41 |
| ikonia | judget: there are mysql modules for postfix, so it may want to shut it down before the install | 16:42 |
| Anastasius | Mysquirrel, (mysquirrel, mysquirrel), talkin' 'bout, my squirrelllll *mysquirrel* | 16:42 |
| IdleOne | Anastasius: please don't | 16:42 |
| Anastasius | k. | 16:42 |
| judget | ok so then maybe i should inquire at the postfix channel? | 16:42 |
| IdleOne | thank you | 16:42 |
| ikonia | judget: why ? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | judget: postfix doesn't make ubuntu packages | 16:43 |
| ikonia | #postfix channel doesn't make ubuntu packages | 16:43 |
| judget | ok well I am happy to follow any suggestions. I have been trying to figure this out for several days | 16:43 |
| jimjam | Klown_ : Did you get your panel issues sorted out? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | judget: I'm still not seeing an actual problem | 16:44 |
| ikonia | judget: what is the actual problem | 16:44 |
| th0r | judget: do you have the latest mysql installed? might be that the latest postfix requires the latest mysql for those modules mentioned earlier | 16:44 |
| badmox | hi i have a problem with the session management on 11.04 it wont re open programs on reboot | 16:44 |
| judget | ikonia I will attemopt to duplicate the problem and pastebin the screen results for you ok? | 16:44 |

| tallnatt | Has anybody had sucess installing Natty Server with RAID 5? | 16:45 |
| klown_ | jimjam, no i didnt. | 16:45 |
| jimjam | klown_: when did the problems start? | 16:46 |
| klown_ | jimjam, when I installed today :P | 16:46 |
| judget | ikonia look at this pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/619237/ | 16:46 |
| judget | after that I cannot start mysql unless i reboot the server that is the problem | 16:47 |
| jimjam | klown_: congrats :-p have you had panels visible at all? Or were they just not visible when you first started up? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | judget: ok - read the error | 16:47 |
| klown_ | they are "visible" but due to screen resolution I cannot see them. | 16:47 |
| klown_ | screen isnt fitting the monitor. | 16:47 |

But when I use uck to make the iso I get "boot error". I also get "boot error" for ISOs other people customized. Any idea? | 16:49 |
| ikonia | judget: no - forget that, the first error, you're trying to purge postfix, it's not even installed | 16:49 |
| ikonia | judget: actually read the errors | 16:50 |
| IdleOne | royale1223: please ask your questions in the channel so that others might help if they can. | 16:50 |

| D0minat0r | anyone have an idea how to get the correct $PATH back? | 16:50 |
| ikonia | judget: what do you want to do ? | 16:51 |

| ubottu | ares__: 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. | 17:16 |

| bittyx-laptop | i have a 2GB SD card i want to format. i can see that it's currently formatted as FAT16. would you recommend reformatting to the same file system, or maybe FAT32 or NTFS? i'm not sure whether formatting to a different file system would stop it from working in, say, a digital camera or something (and i realize this has more to do with the actual cameras, but i just assume that someone here might have good advice to share). thanks in advance! | 17:53 |

| omichalek | could anybody help, pls.? on another machine I just installed natty but no matter what I choose in GDM it just gets stuck showing wallpaper and mouse cursor :( | 17:54 |
| edbian | kay_: You have a BCM4311 chipset. It's the last thing in that pastebin. Do you see it? | 17:54 |
| kay_ | yeah | 17:55 |
| chinnappan | How to give the linux share folder give the access from MS windows ? active directory users | 17:55 |
| edbian | kay_: I am very confident I can get wireless working with this chipset. Are you online using the wired interface? | 17:55 |
| kay_ | yeah | 17:55 |
| klown_ | I'm having an issue with my screen resolution, resolutions in nvidia-xsettings wont fix it. Can't see my taskbars at all. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? | 17:55 |
| edbian | kay_: run this command. sudo apt-get install firwmare-b43-installer It installs software that runs on the actual wifi card. | 17:56 |
| blargg | I mirrored my root (/) partition from sda2 to sda4, and changed the UUID of sda4 and ran update-grub. When I boot, it lists the linux kernels on sda4, but when I select one of them, it mounts sda2 as root and completely ignores sda4. I've edited /etc/fstab on sda2 and sda4 to have the UUID of sda4's volume, but it still mounts sda2 at root regardless. Is there something else that specifies what to mount at / ? | 17:56 |
| edbian | kay_: It is proprietary software so Ubuntu does not like to distribute it with Ubuntu. They do provide an easy way (this command) to install it. | 17:56 |
| TaZeR | hi guys | 17:56 |
| TaZeR | ubuntun 11.10 sucks | 17:56 |
| edbian | TaZeR: It isn't finished yet. | 17:57 |
| linux_hacks | TaZeR: What's next ? | 17:57 |
| TaZeR | xubuntu is the o9nly good distro | 17:57 |
| TaZeR | the unity is much better | 17:57 |
| TaZeR | and not so ingraved | 17:57 |
| TaZeR | as the mainstreadm ubuntu | 17:57 |

| TaZeR | Xubuntu owns now | 17:57 |

| TaZeR | im always right | 17:58 |
| IdleOne | k | 17:58 |
| edbian | kay_: You don't have to disconnect wireless. It isn't working yet. We have to turn on the module (modules are drivers in linux) sudo modprobe b43 | 17:58 |
| edbian | kay_: You have a BCM43xx so we use the b43 module | 17:58 |

| LekeFly | How do i restart X ? | 17:59 |
| edbian | kay_: In unix (and linux) 'no news is good news' That means there were no errors. | 17:59 |
| kay_ | ok... I'm so used to windows | 17:59 |
| edbian | kay_: Look in the applet in the panel and see if wireless networks are listed. If not we need to do one more thing. | 17:59 |
| edbian | kay_: You're doing fine :) | 17:59 |
| edbian | kay_: If you are confused about what I'm talking about ask more questions and I will explain. | 18:00 |
| kay_ | i'm not sure what the applet panel is, but I see wireless networks when I click on the wifi symbol at the top right | 18:00 |
| edbian | kay_: That icon is the applet. The bar it is in in the top right is the panel. The card is now working. | 18:00 |
| edbian | kay_: Click a network and connect to it. | 18:00 |

| klown_ | offtopic= | 18:05 |
| IdleOne | lets move on, we don't provide support for potentially illegal activities here | 18:05 |
| edbian | klown_: Have you looked at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 18:05 |
| edbian | klown_: It seems rather extensive. | 18:05 |
| trijntje | lets talk about third button emulation in natty then, how do I turn it on ;) | 18:06 |
| klown_ | edbian, yes, but every time I try to set the resolution in xrandr I get an error | 18:06 |
| edbian | klown_: What error? | 18:06 |
| klown_ | xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default | 18:06 |

| klown_ | well, I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor. I'm not exactly sure its a "resolution" problem. | 18:10 |
| linux | test | 18:10 |
| klown_ | the current resolution is fine..but the screen isnt fitting on the tv. | 18:10 |
| edbian | klown_: What is the issue? | 18:10 |
| quiescens | aspect ratio? | 18:10 |
| edbian | klown_: The panels are cut off? | 18:10 |
| osse | thevishy, there is a package you can install called nautilus-open-terminal. After that is installed you can right click and then choose "Open in terminal" | 18:10 |
| klown_ | I cannot see my task bars at all. | 18:11 |
| thevishy | thanks osse | 18:11 |
| thevishy | thats what I want | 18:11 |
| Cpt | Could anyone explain how to install java? | 18:11 |
| starZ | hi all, any new about how to use themes with natty and GDM2 ?? | 18:11 |
| edbian | klown_: Yeah aspect ration on the TV | 18:11 |
| edbian | ratio* | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | !java | Cpt | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Cpt: 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. | 18:11 |
| klown_ | changing the aspect ratio on the tv doesnt change anything. | 18:11 |
| klown_ | I've tried. :/ | 18:11 |
| Cpt | Thank you | 18:12 |
| iocor | I like unity | 18:12 |
| edbian | klown_: Try giving the TV a different resolution and then change the ratio. What resolution does the TV support? | 18:12 |
| iocor | but I want to put the launcher bar to the bottom | 18:12 |
| iocor | how do I do this | 18:12 |
| klown_ | edbian, I'm not exactly sure what it supports. | 18:12 |
| IdleOne | iocor: you can't, in the next release you will be able to | 18:12 |
| omichalek | TheMatrix3000 it is something like: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth | 18:12 |
| iocor | ok | 18:12 |
| edbian | klown_: Is it 720p 1080p? | 18:12 |
| klown_ | 1080p | 18:12 |
| edbian | klown_: That can give you a general idea. | 18:12 |
| omichalek | TheMatrix3000 but google it first, there is also one more entry that is for the text splash | 18:13 |
| nit-wit | TheMatrix3000, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739412 | 18:13 |
| edbian | klown_: 1080p is 1920 x 1080 TV's are actually much lower resolution that monitors in general | 18:13 |
| FreedomThroughLi | test | 18:13 |
| edbian | klown_: Look up the TV's manual to see exactly what resolutions are supported. I suggest just trying some though. Can you change resolution in the gui ? | 18:14 |
| guest1 | got it | 18:14 |
| guest1 | i cant get the launcher to open | 18:14 |
| starZ | thx! | 18:14 |
| klown_ | edbian, I can change the one in nvidia-xconfig but it doesnt help. | 18:14 |
| edbian | klown_: To be absolutely clear this isn't strictly an Ubuntu issue. The OS is working fine. | 18:14 |
| edbian | klown_: What resolutions have you tried? | 18:15 |
| guest1 | i need help!!! | 18:15 |
| edbian | guest1: with what dog | 18:15 |
| rShetty | Hey , I Updated latest Ubuntu version and restarted and everything was gone from folders to task bar ... what may be the problem ? | 18:15 |
| guest1 | launcher | 18:15 |
| guest1 | i cant open it | 18:15 |
| klown_ | 1280, 1920x1080 does the same as well. | 18:15 |
| Cpt | Also, sudo apt-get update gives me the error message "The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htt could not be found". Any clues? | 18:16 |
| omichalek | guest1 do you mean the Alt+F2 command? | 18:16 |
| guest1 | ill try... | 18:16 |
| edbian | klown_: Mmmm, I am thinking that the TV settings need to be changed. Typically if all the pixels are not being shown it is an issue with the monitor not the OS | 18:16 |
| omichalek | guest1 or in Natty you just press the "super" (windows) key | 18:16 |
| guest1 | no i mean left taskbar thingy | 18:16 |
| klown_ | its an issue in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. ive had this issue before, but the person who helped filled out the xorg.conf for me (this was my first day on linux, years ago) and I dont recall what they did exactly. | 18:17 |
| omichalek | guest1 that's Unity's panel, hit the upper left corner or push for a while against left edge | 18:17 |
| klown_ | but it was something with the DPI if im not mistaken. | 18:17 |
| guest1 | super key doesnt work | 18:17 |
| edbian | klown_: pastebin it. What changed that it doesn't work now? | 18:17 |
| Cpt | Again, sudo apt-get update gives me the error message "The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/htt could not be found". Any clues? | 18:18 |
| klown_ | edbian, I just installed linux today. 11.04 | 18:18 |
| guest1 | omichalek: it doesnt wrk | 18:18 |
| quiescens | cpt: probably a type in your sources.list or something | 18:18 |
| quiescens | typo* | 18:19 |
| edbian | klown_: Mhmmm, ok yeah lemme see your xorg.conf please. In a pastebin. It is likely that we don't need it at all but we'll try that after I get a look see | 18:19 |
| kavurt | my computer cannot see memory stick. can i do something about it? | 18:19 |
| omichalek | guest1 that is strange, isn't there a program running that is blocking your input maybe? try Super+W or Super+S | 18:19 |

| pozic | Does Ubuntu recognize LVMs of a Fedora installation? | 18:21 |
| guest1 | ySOS im not getting any help here... | 18:21 |

| pozic | So, I can do an upgrade which will basically wipe the root partition and keep my Fedora home? | 18:21 |
| edbian | klown_: let's try temporarily removing the file. sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/backup.Xorg.conf | 18:21 |
| edbian | klown_: And restart the machine and see what happens. | 18:21 |
| kavurt | omichalek: what's disk utility? partition manager? | 18:22 |

| klown | edbian, also, I made a mistake, its 720p | 18:26 |
| edbian | klown: I don't now. Here is how to move the file back: sudo mv /etc/X11/backup.Xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:26 |
| === Guest76952 is now known as m00se | ||

| gohdan | how can i make this annoying output go away?? | 18:26 |
| MonkeyDust | gohdan: that is called 'security' | 18:28 |
| quiescens | gohdan: the message will show up on any account that is in the admin group until they have successfully used sudo at least once | 18:28 |
| gohdan | MonkeyDust: except im NOT trying to run any privileged commands and merely launching a term?? | 18:29 |
| gohdan | karma +1 quiescens | 18:29 |
| omichalek | kavurt maybe try in terminal: dmesg | grep memorystick | 18:30 |
| MonkeyDust | gohdan: maybe you created something as root, so now you have to be root to have acces | 18:30 |
| omichalek | kavurt just to see the history of what Ubuntu saw with "memorystick" in it | 18:30 |
| quiescens | gohdan: technically if you want to short circuit that, you can "touch $HOME/.sudo_as_admin_successful" or edit /etc/bash.bashrc to remove it entirely | 18:30 |
| omichalek | kavurt or it might be named dirrerently, replace "memorystick" with "memory" maybe | 18:31 |
| AlphaAtom | Hey, I've just upgraded to Natty Narwhal | 18:31 |

| MonkeyDust | AlphaAtom: please put your question in one line :) | 18:32 |

| omichalek | kavurt but does it show anything? | 18:32 |
| AlphaAtom | I've just upgraded and it keeps disconnecting me, the connect box appears, complete with my security password, why won't it automatically reconnect, or stop disconnecting me in the first place | 18:33 |
| kavurt | omichalek: no, nothing about memory stick | 18:33 |
| MonkeyDust | AlphaAtom: can you connect with cable? | 18:33 |
| AlphaAtom | I haven't got one with me | 18:34 |
| AlphaAtom | Or anywhere in this house for that matter | 18:34 |
| MonkeyDust | AlphaAtom: first try the easy,normal way | 18:34 |
| AlphaAtom | But that would just be totally impractical - for a laptop. | 18:34 |
| AlphaAtom | So I didn't feel the need to even buy a cable | 18:34 |
| MonkeyDust | i'm working on a laptop, wired connection | 18:34 |
| MonkeyDust | AlphaAtom: cable = easiest, fastes, most secure | 18:35 |
| AlphaAtom | Yeah I know that | 18:35 |
| gohdan | quiescens: glad thats sorted out, thing was driving me nuts. i owe you a beer | 18:36 |
| AlphaAtom | But given the position of our router - bear in mind this is basically the only place we can put it without paying for more sockets, or having ugly cables everywhere - I wouldn't be able to use a wired connection | 18:36 |
| omichalek | kavurt I'm sorry, I am no pro, hopefully someone else here will know | 18:36 |

| omichalek | could anybody help me? I just installed Ubuntu on my other machine but I cannot login, no matter what session I choose I end up with wallpaper and mouse cursor only | 18:39 |
| MonkeyDust | ries: explain what you mean by 'locale', where, in which application etc | 18:39 |
| Rollin | i will try that nomodeset @ edbian .. anything else i should try? thanks | 18:39 |
| [1]user1 | how do i assign a dns name to a ip | 18:40 |
| edbian | Rollin: Not off the top of my head | 18:40 |
| ries | MonkeyDust: that has nothing todo with a application, when I run locale, I don't see the locale I need, so I need to add it | 18:40 |
| MonkeyDust | ries: but what is a 'locale'? | 18:40 |
| gohdan | MonkeyDust: it is pretty clear what they are referring to. please refrain from offering assistance if you have no idea what people are talking about | 18:40 |
| nit-wit | thunder1212, you might consider fedora 15 if you like gnome3 | 18:41 |

| MonkeyDust | gohdan: it is for future reference | 18:41 |
| weside | omichalek I had that same problem where I could not login :/ | 18:41 |

| thunder1212 | i have just downloaded fedora 15 | 18:41 |
| gohdan | ries: np. i was a bit irked from the "security" comment | 18:42 |
| omichalek | should I just try installing kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop etc.? | 18:42 |
| thunder1212 | but i am comfortable with apt and ubuntu | 18:42 |
| omichalek | weside did you solve it? | 18:42 |
| [1]user1 | no one?? | 18:42 |
| gohdan | MonkeyDust: locale refers to the language and regional settings such as fonts or translations etc | 18:43 |

| ries | MonkeyDust: I am a long time IRC user... and to point people directly to some bot is rude if you don't know what the essence of teh question is. | 18:46 |
| edbian | edwardthefma: can you pastebin sudo lspci -k for me? | 18:46 |
| ikonia | ries: it's a pretty reasonable thing to do to get your to explain a bit more | 18:47 |

| Rollin | link to nomodeset for anyone else in need: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 18:49 |
| Foran | where can I get help? :) i am total noob :D | 18:49 |
| edbian | Foran: You're here. Ask away | 18:49 |
| edwardthefma | <edbian>hold on | 18:49 |
| Rollin | foran ask your question, we will direct you | 18:49 |
| edbian | edwardthefma: holding... | 18:49 |
| ries | ikonia: if the question wasn't clear... but in this case the person didn't knew what a locale was/is and teh question by itself was clear 'How to add additional locales' | 18:49 |
| Foran | ok | 18:49 |
| Foran | I'm trying to instal ubuntu 11.04 from USB | 18:49 |
| Foran | and | 18:49 |
| Foran | when I boot from USB I gat some many | 18:50 |
| Foran | menu* | 18:50 |
| Foran | i can chose 5-6 options but just one works | 18:50 |
| ikonia | ries: to the system, the desktop, an application ? | 18:50 |
| Foran | (rescue system) | 18:50 |
| oCean | Foran: try to describe your issue in one single line | 18:50 |
| ikonia | ries: as in isntall them or configure the OS to use them (application/etc) | 18:50 |
| gohdan | MonkeyDust: fairy snuff. however, it is advised to refrain from offering assistance in an area you are no versed in or have no experience whatsoever. as it decreases the credibility of future statements you make in that regard | 18:50 |
| ries | ikonia: | 18:51 |
| KM0201 | Foran: stop hitting enter so much.. are you sure you're giving it lon enough to actually boot... it takes a minute or so (for me) after choosing the first option, for it to boot... if you select the first option (try ubuntu)... can you still use the arrow keys to highlight other menu options?.. if not, just wait, it's booting | 18:51 |
| Foran | So i installed it using that option "rescue system". installation was ok. and now i have Boot menu (Ubuntu and Windows 7) | 18:51 |
| ries | ikonia: I don't want to debate it but when people say 'How to add locale' it usually mean to the operating system. | 18:51 |
| KM0201 | lol | 18:52 |
| PIn | guys type in "sudo shutdown -h 0" in console for a special message of ubuntu owner | 18:52 |
| ikonia | ries: no, I'm actually asking you what you want | 18:52 |
| Foran | When I chose Ubuntu, Black Screen is shown, | 18:52 |
| Foran | and nothing happens | 18:52 |
| ikonia | !locale | ries | 18:53 |
| ubottu | ries: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 18:53 |
| ries | ikonia: I needed to add a additional locale, I know how to use them and apply them to applications | 18:53 |
| KM0201 | PIn: thats not necessary | 18:53 |
| ikonia | ries: the link ubottu just gave you should help | 18:53 |
| Foran | It seems like some graphic problem, becouse i have some pink line on a midle that disapear in 5-6 seconds | 18:53 |
| ralc | hey guys - can i somehow see who made the last change to a file? or is that information not stored at all? | 18:53 |
| ries | ikonia: thanks.... | 18:53 |
| oCean | PIn: do you have a question? | 18:53 |
| PIn | !question | 18:53 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 18:53 |
| ikonia | ralc: not stored unless it's a new file | 18:53 |

| Foran | How to delete Ubuntu (instaled) and reinstall it again? | 18:55 |
| nelson___ | list | 18:55 |

| edbian | maxx_: I'm not sure. If the sliders are all up. Do you have a PCM slider? That is usually a tricky one. | 18:58 |
| maxx_ | yeah. I have a PCM slider | 18:59 |

| Yud_Zroc | Tomy at login, swich your default desktop | 19:00 |
| syockit | EmuAlert: if you're sure that all progs are of the same version, then pretty much yes. But if you do it one by one, you get to prune off unneeded config files | 19:00 |

| Yud_Zroc | (Where you click username/password) its at the bottom center | 19:00 |
| weside | is some people in here still using 10.04 or 10.10 rather than using 11.04, just curious?.. | 19:01 |

| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:01 |
| tomykontroll | Thanks Yud, th problems is that Grub not find the kernel, I have a message of missing sda | 19:01 |
| tomykontroll | But when I boot in Windows this device works | 19:01 |
| rww | !b43 is <alias> bcm43xx | 19:01 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that, rww | 19:01 |
| tomykontroll | How I can respore/repair Grub from Windows? | 19:02 |
| ikonia | tomykontroll: you can't touch grub from windows | 19:02 |
| rinkukokiri | tomykontroll, you can use your live cd | 19:02 |
| cgroza | tomykontrol, you must use a live cd, I recommend puppy | 19:03 |
| KM0201 | rww: :) i make that mistake all the time..lol | 19:03 |
| tomykontroll | I havent Live CD, I installed using WUBI | 19:03 |
| ikonia | tomykontroll: ignore what cgroza has just said | 19:03 |
| ikonia | tomykontroll: using a different distro to fix grub is a very bad idea and will most often end if failure | 19:03 |
| cgroza | ikonia, he has wubi anyway | 19:03 |
| nit-wit | tomykontroll, do you see the grub menu at powering on or the MS boot screen? | 19:03 |
| ikonia | so I see | 19:03 |
| tomykontroll | Thanks Ikonia | 19:04 |
| Yud_Zroc | Can't he just do thbe grub update command? He should be using grub2 no? | 19:04 |
| nit-wit | no | 19:04 |
| tomykontroll | I see the Windows slector for booting, before Grub | 19:04 |
| Yud_Zroc | Oh, forgot about wubi...lol outs my legue I only use grub | 19:04 |
| gantrixx | So if I wanted to buy a netbook and run Ubuntu 11.04 (with Unity) on it, what would you recommend? Is there a graphics chipset that "just works" with Unity? | 19:04 |
| __yhvh__ | gantrixx: intel | 19:05 |
| weside | no way nvidia | 19:05 |
| cgroza | gantrixx, get an NVidia. | 19:05 |
| Yud_Zroc | Well, grantrix get the netbook remix version | 19:05 |
| ravage | gantrixx: in general just don't use any ATI. Intel and NVIDIA work most of the time | 19:05 |
| gantrixx | __yhvh__, my old Dell mini 10 had the Intel chipset on it and I was never able to get it to work | 19:05 |
| weside | ATI hates linux LOL | 19:05 |
| sebastian | huhu | 19:05 |
| Yud_Zroc | Intel, and nvidia (nvidia has better performance 9/10 times | 19:05 |
| gantrixx | I do use the notebook remix version | 19:05 |
| sebastian | exit | 19:05 |
| Yud_Zroc | Weside, not entirly, you just need to fish out the right driver | 19:06 |
| ravage | weside: no but they just can't write good drivers for it | 19:06 |
| heffay | my ubuntu 11.04 suddenly stopped wanting to connect to a shared directory on my network. the error messages said it failed to get the share list from the server. | 19:06 |
| __yhvh__ | gantrixx: well I have nvidia and can't run unity | 19:06 |
| Sanctusorium | Hey ya. I am running a fresh Server 10.10 install. How do I upgrade to 11 through console? | 19:06 |
| nit-wit | tomykontroll, look in this thread and post the bootscript as suggested in the thread if you can't fix it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 | 19:06 |
| gantrixx | It seems that Ubuntu is leading the hardware | 19:06 |
| ravage | __yhvh__: the closed source driver should work for really every nvidia card | 19:06 |
| gantrixx | and that is probably why Dell stopped selling netbooks with Ubuntu NBR pre-installed | 19:07 |
| tomykontroll | Ok ... Thanks Nit-Wit | 19:07 |
| Sanctusorium | I did apt-get dist-upgrade, but lsb_release -a says I am still running 10.1 | 19:07 |
| nit-wit | tomykontroll, no problem it is probably an easy fix. | 19:07 |
| __yhvh__ | ravage: not here, dual head tho | 19:07 |
| rinkukokiri | i got dual heads and unity hates it | 19:07 |
| rinkukokiri | actually.. .i hate unity :D | 19:07 |
| Yud_Zroc | I still stick with gnome | 19:07 |
| weside | I have an Intel video chipset, so far with every linux distro i tried it works just fine, i just know nVidia cards works better for games etc. | 19:07 |
| gantrixx | I'm running 11.04 on my desktop and I opted to go back to straight gnome | 19:08 |
| ravage | rinkukokiri: you are not alone ;) | 19:08 |
| gantrixx | I think there isn't a one size fits all solution | 19:08 |
| gantrixx | desktops are desktops, tablets are tablets | 19:08 |
| oCean | let's get back on topic ok? | 19:08 |
| gantrixx | the topic of Ubuntu? | 19:08 |
| Yud_Zroc | Cyonical is just doing what it has to, to adapt | 19:08 |
| heffay | samba? anyone? | 19:08 |
| oCean | gantrixx: support, not discussion | 19:08 |
| nit-wit | this is not a ubuntu chat | 19:09 |
| __yhvh__ | oCean: so can you answer my driver Q? | 19:09 |
| gantrixx | oh, I thought this is where I come to ask questions | 19:09 |
| rinkukokiri | ok.. how do I uninstall unity completely, i don't want it | 19:09 |
| Yud_Zroc | Sorry | 19:09 |
| oCean | __yhvh__: nope, maybe someone else | 19:09 |
| piaoliu | hello | 19:09 |
| nit-wit | gantrixx, sure but mindless fud is not appreciatted. | 19:09 |
| Yud_Zroc | Yhvh what's your q? | 19:09 |
| oCean | gantrixx: use #ubuntu-offtopic for general discussion | 19:09 |
| __yhvh__ | hey in additional drivers, which is the most up to date driver http://i.imgur.com/B5YBV.png | 19:09 |
| piaoliu | 605796974 | 19:10 |
| Yud_Zroc | The one that's recomended | 19:10 |
| rinkukokiri | __yhvh__, version current | 19:10 |
| oCean | piaoliu: do you have a support question? | 19:10 |
| __yhvh__ | cheers, is that documented anywhere? | 19:10 |
| Yud_Zroc | 173 is like a year + old | 19:10 |
| ravage | __yhvh__: i think they are the same. current is just the mete package | 19:10 |
| oCean | !who | Yud_Zroc | 19:10 |
| ubottu | Yud_Zroc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:10 |
| rinkukokiri | ravage, actually. 173 is 173, version current is like 185 or something | 19:11 |
| Yud_Zroc | Ocean I cant | 19:11 |
| oCean | Yud_Zroc: yes you can, don't be silly | 19:11 |
| ravage | rinkukokiri: right. checked that in apt | 19:11 |
| Yud_Zroc | I'm on my cellphone | 19:11 |
| ravage | i think 173 is for the older legacy cards | 19:11 |
| ravage | they dropped support for the really old ones | 19:11 |
| ravage | in 18x | 19:11 |

| thunder1212 | hi, i want to do manual partitioning; i have a doubt; if i create a separate /home partition ;does it ensure that my data remains safe even when i switch os; say i switch from ubuntu to fedora or vice versa | 19:12 |

| ikonia | thunder1212: it doesn't make it "safe" | 19:13 |
| sup0 | heffay: is the server you're trying to connect to running windows? you might need to disable the windows firewall | 19:13 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, It dose not garentee it, ofcourse if your not looking at you format the partition, its gone. | 19:13 |
| ikonia | thunder1212: it just means it's a seperate partition, how you use that is up to you | 19:13 |
| heffay | no its running debian | 19:13 |
| heffay | windows boxes have no problem connecting to the share | 19:13 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, I would suggest you still do backups. And NEVER have 2 OS with the exact same username share the /home , If you have 2, use different usernames | 19:13 |

| pozic | ikonia: I mean that I do not use the /home user data. | 19:14 |
| pozic | ikonia: er lose | 19:14 |
| === marco is now known as Guest10272 | ||
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, use dejadup to keep backups. | 19:14 |
| ravage | pozic: at least the alternate installer should recognize your lvm volumes. so you can "reuse" them | 19:14 |
| ikonia | pozic: that's quite hit and miss, it really depends how it goes | 19:14 |
| sup0 | heffay: have you tried opening the share with smb://192.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address) in firefox and seeing if you can connect that way? | 19:15 |
| ikonia | pozic: if the volume group data is sane, yes, you can, if not no | 19:15 |
| alvinPH | hello, how can i install prism? i'm running xubuntu 11.03 | 19:15 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, Or make a 3rd partiton mounted as /media/Shared to keep music and all that. That way you can format /home and / and your data is still safe. | 19:15 |
| cgroza | weside, ubuntu made a lot of changes so they are not binary compatible rigt now. | 19:15 |
| pozic | ravage: the livecd doesn't do that? | 19:15 |
| alvinPH | hello, how can i install prism? i'm running xubuntu 11.04* | 19:15 |
| sup0 | heffay: you can also do that in natilus probably, not sure | 19:15 |
| rinkukokiri | how do I uninstall unity completely, i don't want it | 19:15 |
| ikonia | pozic: normally a vgscan will find the old volume group, and as loong as you don't do a pvcreate on the device, it should be fine | 19:15 |
| heffay | sup8: i have and it wont work | 19:15 |
| ravage | pozic: not sure. but the livecd uses the fancy GUI setup. i don't know if the partiton tool is that advanced there | 19:15 |
| heffay | i dont have natilus | 19:15 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, Remember, your data means everything to you, Daily backups and monthy DVD backups would not be anywhere close to overkill. | 19:15 |
| ikonia | pozic: does that make sense to you ? | 19:16 |
| weside | thanks cgroza | 19:16 |
| pozic | ikonia: yes, but I just want it to run that by itself and then ask to me 'hey, you are using lvm2, shall we map foo to bar for you'? | 19:16 |
| alvinPH | hello, how can i install prism? i'm running xubuntu 11.04* | 19:16 |
| NictraSavios | ravage, Gparted will always be gparted | 19:16 |

| sup0 | ok sry | 19:16 |
| ikonia | pozic: the exportint and importing of volume groups and phsycial volumes requires a manual "do this" | 19:16 |

| NictraSavios | thunder1212, There are tools that can automate it :P | 19:17 |

| NictraSavios | ring1, Waring, you may be stuck at a console login. | 19:17 |

| fyksen | Is there a apt-get based distro with gnome 3? | 19:18 |
| NictraSavios | rinkukokiri, I am using it now, it takes alot of extensions and the gnome-tweak-tool, but its awesome :P | 19:19 |
| iocor | is it possible to add things to the top right text in ubuntu 11.04? | 19:19 |

| NictraSavios | fyksen, Why not make it complete? You do release its what you make it? | 19:21 |
| pozic | ikonia: do you have any more details on setting that up? | 19:21 |
| [THC]AcidRain | !lastseen Octobyte | 19:21 |
| pozic | ikonia: in particular at boot these volume groups need to be activated, etc. | 19:21 |
| ballon5454 | !esound | 19:21 |
| ikonia | pozic: from within the installer or manually post install ? | 19:21 |
| [THC]AcidRain | !esound OctoByte | 19:22 |
| pozic | ikonia: the easiest way. | 19:22 |
| [THC]AcidRain | !stfu Me | 19:22 |
| ballon5454 | !esound OctoByte | 19:22 |
| djiefo | Hi. How can I install a theme file .gz? | 19:22 |
| fyksen | NictraSavios, Well, it's not supported.. Harder to get help. | 19:22 |
| ikonia | pozic: I don't believe the installer can deal with it | 19:22 |
| NictraSavios | fyksen, I have a splash screen on bootup into gdm, I do most of my work on the GUI. But this is #Ubuntu, head to #archlinux to get help with that. | 19:22 |
| genupulas | ballan5454 no document man | 19:22 |
| oCean | [THC]AcidRain: control your language, don'tmess with the bot | 19:22 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sorry. what is the last seen command? | 19:22 |
| pozic | ikonia: /home is on a different hardisk. | 19:22 |
| oCean | [THC]AcidRain: there is none | 19:22 |
| ikonia | pozic: post install you just need to do a vgscan and depending on it's results a vgimport and they should be back for you to use as you want | 19:22 |
| [THC]AcidRain | :( | 19:22 |
| NictraSavios | fyksen, Arch linux isnt mean to be easy. But you can do anything on it | 19:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | can anyone tell me why i cant change permissions on my own external hd? | 19:23 |
| pozic | ikonia: yes, but don't I have to say that it has to do the activation on boot somewhere? | 19:23 |
| NictraSavios | [THC]AcidRain, Is it in ntfs? | 19:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | yes | 19:23 |
| KM0201 | [THC]AcidRain: cuz you don't have permission? | 19:23 |
| llutz | !ntfs |[THC]AcidRain: | 19:23 |
| ubottu | [THC]AcidRain:: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 19:23 |
| nit-wit | NictraSavios, good wiki's though, not that hard.;) | 19:23 |
| NictraSavios | [THC]AcidRain, Then it should be ignored. use sudo to change them. | 19:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i cant | 19:23 |
| ikonia | pozic: if you put the volumes you need in fstab they will get activated | 19:23 |
| NictraSavios | nit-wit, Very good wiki's, | 19:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | permission is still denied through sudo | 19:24 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g |[THC]AcidRain: | 19:24 |
| ubottu | [THC]AcidRain:: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:24 |
| Omega | NictraSavios, I appreciate you coming to help us here, but don't get derailed into off-topicness :) | 19:24 |
| pozic | ikonia: ok, so I can basically just copy the existing /etc/fstab entries. | 19:24 |
| NictraSavios | Omega, Opps, sorry >.< | 19:24 |
| thunder1212 | so if i don't format the /home drive it remains ssafe then how do i mount it back to new os ?? | 19:24 |
| ikonia | pozic: you can use them as a base, but they may change slitly (shouldn't do unless you are using block id's) | 19:24 |
| NictraSavios | Omega, Trust me, I even do that in Arch. Start talking about mint lmao! , Ill try my hardest :) | 19:24 |
| pozic | ikonia: I think I am using UUIDs. | 19:24 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, When your reinstalling, go to "something else" | 19:25 |
| ikonia | pozic: ok, so they logical volumes shouldn't change, but the volume gruop may change it, you'll know once you do a vgscan | 19:25 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, Click on change, mount at "/home" | 19:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | thanks! | 19:25 |
| NictraSavios | thunder1212, If you forget what /dev/sda it is, then open up gparted and take a look-see | 19:25 |
| Foran | hello me again :D | 19:25 |

| Monotoko | heyy guys, I have no CD drive and Windows 7 at the moment..any idea how I can install Kubuntu 10.10 to a memory stick...or would WUBI suffice, or would I get some definate performance upgrades if I install it on its own? | 19:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | does anyone know where i can download the ntfs-config package? | 19:28 |
| hatalar205 | Monotoko try Unetbootin | 19:28 |
| NictraSavios | Foran, Okay, When you get into the grub prompt. You have a few tools. type "set root=(hdX,msdosX)" replace X with what your root system is. then type in "linux /boot/vm" , hit tab, should complete it for you then ls /boot, figure out what the *.img file is your init, then type initrd /boot/XXXX , where XXXX is your image, finnaly, type in boot | 19:28 |
| jnlsnl_ | Im trying to follow this: http://linux.chrissweeney.co.uk/topic.php?t=40 ...When i boot from the sysres cd and run the command: e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/sda1 ....it get stuck on 12.75% every time :-( Not sure how to proceed | 19:29 |
| NictraSavios | Foran, If you get stuck, type "help" to see a list of available commands. Use that to get into ubuntu, then once your in , sudo update-grub | 19:29 |
| Monotoko | hatalar205, thanks! That's the program I've been after for a while...couldn't remember what it was called >.> | 19:29 |
| Foran | it's too fucking har for me xD is there any tutorial ? | 19:30 |
| NictraSavios | Foran, Plenty. | 19:30 |

| JoeA1 | hi I have a problem with tightvncserver, if it crashes all the apps started in the same session terminate, how to avoid that (I'm no familiar with the linux session management)? | 19:31 |
| NictraSavios | Oppie. Always make sure you plug in your laptops power cord | 19:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | JoeA1, if you're using cli apps - check out screen (I don't know of a GUI equivalent) | 19:32 |
| amin` | Do dsl and pptp vpn connection stop and start which managed by network-manager have terminal commands? | 19:33 |
| JoeA1 | ZykoticK9: I'm using VirtualBox in GUI mode (for starting and managing VMs) | 19:33 |

| cody | anywere i should go for help? | 19:34 |
| NictraSavios | cody, For ubuntu? Right here | 19:35 |
| cody | oh ok :) | 19:35 |
| NictraSavios | !ask | cody | 19:35 |
| ubottu | cody: 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. :-) | 19:35 |
| JoeA1 | NictraSavios: tmux supports remote desktop functionality? | 19:35 |
| cody | so whats good channel for role playing (non-sexual) | 19:36 |

| JoeA1 | NictraSavios: okey thanks | 19:37 |

| alvinPH | how can i integrate the webrunner apps to the internet menu? | 19:38 |

| induz | could you suggest me a webcam application | 19:40 |

| donkeyinspace | what does it mean a grey star in synaptic ubuntu packages? | 19:42 |
| llutz | [THC]AcidRain: use mount-options like uid/gid/umask when mounting the hdd to get permissions you want | 19:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm... ill check this out | 19:42 |
| NictraSavios | JoeA1, Oh, Should just happen if your watching it after you run the command. There is something out there to do this put i cannot quite remember it, its like put | aux ... something at the end. | 19:42 |

| elizabethanne | Hello? | 19:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | there appears to be no mount options that say aobut permissions | 19:43 |

| elizabethanne | Please, I accidentally deleted my wireless icon from the top panel in Xubuntu 11.04. When I reboot, it appears for a split-second, then disappears. | 19:44 |

| NictraSavios | JoeA1, Command | tee Filename I belive | 19:45 |
| NictraSavios | JoeA1, Not 100%, never used it once. I always just read /var/log | 19:45 |
| JoeA1 | kitche: so that I always see the new output | 19:45 |
| alvinPH | NictraSavios: i can't find prism or webrunner in software center | 19:45 |

| kitche | JoeA1: tail -f | 19:45 |

| JoeA1 | that is it | 19:46 |
| JoeA1 | thanks a lot | 19:46 |
| NictraSavios | alvinPH, hmm, Do they work in linux? If so, try googling around a little. Ive never heard of either so someone else can probably provide more info. | 19:46 |
| NictraSavios | kitche, Thanks :) Ill remember that one aswell. | 19:46 |
| elizabethanne | ? | 19:47 |
| NictraSavios | elizabethanne, Right click pannel > add to panel | 19:47 |
| NictraSavios | elizabethanne, In gnome not unity right? I dont think you can delete it in unity... | 19:47 |
| elizabethanne | I'm in Xubuntu 11.04, using Xfce. | 19:48 |
| NictraSavios | elizabethanne, Try joining #xubuntu for that | 19:48 |
| tjiggi_fo | elizabethanne, rightclick the top panel, choose "add to panel" and click wireless icon | 19:48 |
| alvinPH | NictraSavios: prism is installed in peppermintOS that's why I am missing it in ubuntu | 19:48 |
| elizabethanne | There's no "Wireless Icon." | 19:49 |
| NictraSavios | alvinPH, Hmm, try getting it from online. Someone else might be able to help more, Idk much about prism or webrunner | 19:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | alvinPH, wasn't prism dropped by mozilla? i could certainly be wrong. FYI prism isn't in Debian (stable) either. | 19:49 |
| elizabethanne | There's Network Monitor and Notification Area. Notification Area is grayed out. | 19:49 |
| Solaris444 | Hi. For some reason I can't get cron jobs to run on my Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS box. | 19:50 |
| tjiggi_fo | elizabethanne, one sec | 19:50 |
| elizabethanne | The only freenode displayed is #ubuntu. | 19:50 |
| alvinPH | ahh, it's renamed as webrunner now and can be added on to firefox , but whenever I create a shortcut it doesn't work | 19:50 |
| NictraSavios | elizabethanne, type /join #xubuntu | 19:50 |
| Solaris444 | I have the following entry in crontab for user "sysadmin": 0 21 * * 0,1,2,3,4,5 sudo backupscript | 19:50 |

| ikonia | Solaris444: use full paths | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Solaris444: make sure sudo is setup to not need a password | 19:51 |
| Solaris444 | It doesn't run when I use sudo /home/sysadmin/backupscript either. | 19:51 |
| llutz | Solaris444: why not using systemcrontab without sudo? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | Solaris444: what happans ? | 19:51 |
| NictraSavios | Solaris444, to edit sudo , if you dont know vi, use EDITOR=gedit visudo | 19:51 |
| Solaris444 | ikonia: nothing happens. | 19:51 |

| ikonia | Solaris444: yes, so sudo needs to be setup for the user running the cronjob | 19:52 |

| omichalek | could anybody help, pls.? on another machine I just installed natty but no matter what I choose in GDM it just gets stuck showing wallpaper and mouse cursor :( | 19:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | arleslie, you're in the right place - I'm just no help. | 19:55 |
| llutz | Solaris444: do you use full pathes inside your script too? | 19:55 |
| arleslie | usr13, the web-interface, the printer application in ubuntu just says "Unable to connect to CIFS host" | 19:55 |
| tjiggi_fo | elizabethanne, check in System Preferences > Startup Applications that Network Manager is ticked | 19:55 |
| arleslie | usr13, I should also point out that the printer is hosted on a Windows 7 computer. | 19:56 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Then it is NOT a network printer. It is a shared printer. | 19:56 |
| Solaris444 | llutz: that shouldn't matter though? | 19:56 |
| Solaris444 | It worked in Ubuntu 8.04 | 19:56 |
| llutz | Solaris444: cron runs in limited environment, it does matter | 19:56 |
| arleslie | usr13, sorry it's what I considered a network printer. | 19:56 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Probably best to plug the printer directly into the Ubuntu machine. | 19:56 |
| Solaris444 | So why did it work in Ubuntu 8.04? | 19:57 |
| Solaris444 | my script does cd to /var/log and then touches the log file for the script. | 19:57 |
| arleslie | usr13, I would if I could, but I guess I can find other work arounds. | 19:57 |
| Solaris444 | Instead of touch /var/log/somelog | 19:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ok so how do i format a drive as a different file system? | 19:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | perhaps that will help me the most | 19:57 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Why can't you? | 19:57 |
| Solaris444 | but like i said, that doesn't explain why it worked in ubuntu 8.04 | 19:57 |
| arleslie | usr13, it's a family used printer and I don't have the room in my room to move it to | 19:58 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Does your router have a print server option? | 19:58 |
| arleslie | usr13, no | 19:58 |
| th0r | [THC]AcidRain: mkfs handles most formats. Start at that man page | 19:58 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Well, I don't know then. I've never tried to access a printer shared from Win7 | 19:59 |
| arleslie | usr13, have you had success trying to access a printer from any SMB? | 19:59 |
| usr13 | arleslie: Yes | 19:59 |
| arleslie | usr13, well I can connect to the printer via smb (the printing application can see it) I just cannot print to it. | 20:00 |
| === nick is now known as Guest54778 | ||

| w1n5ton | It does not do this with windows computers | 20:04 |
| heffay | my ubuntu 11.04 suddenly stopped wanting to connect to a shared directory on my network. the error messages said it failed to get the share list from the server. | 20:04 |
| w1n5ton | Is there a way to force it to use a static IP? | 20:04 |
| heffay | anyone? | 20:04 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, near the top right of the screen, you should see two arrows (one up and one down) | 20:04 |
| w1n5ton | Okay? | 20:05 |
| gdude | okay so I did something stupid, I was going to change the owner of a folder and subfolders (-R) to www-data but I managed to make the change to / ! | 20:05 |
| gdude | sudo stopped working so I logged in as root | 20:05 |
| gdude | changed the owner of everything to root | 20:05 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, right click it, and click "Edit Connections" | 20:05 |
| [1]user1 | if i add a host name to /etc/hosts as ip abc.com and hostname as abc.com how much time later i can ssh into it as abc.com | 20:05 |
| === dell is now known as wakan | ||
| gdude | and now I get when I use sudu... (wait checking) | 20:06 |
| gdude | "sudo: must be setuid root" | 20:06 |
| w1n5ton | Oh yeah I use wifi so it's different | 20:06 |
| cygnus_ | [1]user1: right away | 20:06 |
| === Krabbe is now known as krabbe | ||
| === XLV_ is now known as XLV | ||
| gdude | so what is stuid and how to I change it to root? | 20:06 |
| llutz | gdude: chmod +s $(which sudo) | 20:07 |
| gdude | setuid* | 20:07 |
| w1n5ton | Now what? | 20:07 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, well then you should see a radio signal icon (half ovals increasing upward) | 20:07 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, click the wireless tab | 20:07 |
| w1n5ton | I'm at the edit connections screen | 20:07 |
| w1n5ton | Okay | 20:07 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, select your wireless connect, (auto <connection name>) | 20:07 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i hope this works.... | 20:07 |
| w1n5ton | Okay | 20:07 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, then click edit, then go to the IPv4 settings | 20:07 |
| je0rjey | how to set up a dial up connection for bsnl broadband in ubuntu? | 20:07 |
| w1n5ton | okay | 20:08 |
| Solaris444 | ikonia: and now it works. | 20:08 |
| Solaris444 | for some completely unknown reason. | 20:08 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, if you already know your ip information change the dhcp to manual, if not right click the same icon as before and click "Connection Information" | 20:08 |
| aguitel_ | i need to install network-manager-gnome in other pc with no internet connection ,how i do that ? | 20:08 |
| gdude | llutz: I'm not sure I follow, doing "chmod +s" to a dummy txt file and doing ls -l gives me -rwSr-Sr-- , what are those S's? | 20:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im formatting /dev/sdb | 20:09 |
| je0rjey | clear | 20:09 |
| w1n5ton | Okay | 20:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | is this safe? | 20:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | well i hope it is... its already started | 20:09 |
| th0r | aguitel_: download the package from packages.ubuntu.com on another computer | 20:09 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, once you know your network information, change the Method to manual then click add and type in the same information | 20:09 |
| llutz | gdude: man chmod (suid/sgid) | 20:09 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, after you click save you will have that ip the entire time | 20:09 |
| aguitel_ | th0r, but the dependences ? | 20:10 |
| je0rjey | how to dialup a internet connection when the modem is in bridge mode? | 20:10 |
| Solaris444 | llutz: and now it works for some reason. | 20:10 |
| llutz | [THC]AcidRain: /dev/sdb is the full drive. Are you sure you don't want to use a partition to create a filesystem? | 20:10 |
| arleslie | [THC]AcidRain, as long as you want to erase that drive, should be altho since your not doing a partition I'm not too surer about the outcome. | 20:10 |
| Solaris444 | Didn't do anything different. | 20:10 |
| th0r | aguitel_: you will have to have them as well...will need to figure it all out ahead of time | 20:10 |
| w1n5ton | what do I put for gateway? | 20:10 |
| llutz | Solaris444: moon, stars, who knows | 20:10 |
| Solaris444 | No kidding. | 20:10 |
| th0r | arleslie: you didn't use an ip from the dhcp pool did you? that might be assigned to another computer by the router at some point | 20:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | arleslie: yeah it warned me of that. im just using it for storage. in hopes that i can change user permissions | 20:10 |
| klown | I'm having an issue with my display. I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv) ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260. Any ideas? | 20:11 |
| Solaris444 | Anyway thanks. :) | 20:11 |
| Solaris444 | exit | 20:11 |
| aguitel_ | th0r, ihow download the package with all dependences? | 20:11 |
| Solaris444 | oops | 20:11 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, what is your current ip? | 20:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im hoping thats just my external hdd | 20:11 |
| w1n5ton | 192.168.1.89 | 20:11 |
| th0r | aguitel_: the dependencies are listed at that website if I remember correctly | 20:11 |
| DannyS | Viewing a Quicktime stream from the Apple website is very buggy using gecko engine and mplayer plugin. Pinguy 11.04 seems to have resolved that issue. Streams perform flawlessly. Does anyone know how to get the same result in Ubuntu? | 20:11 |
| cemc | hi. I'm trying to disable ipv6 autoconfig through sysctl, but my wlan0 keeps getting autoconfig turned on, I think by NetworkManager. how can I disable it for good? | 20:11 |
| arleslie | th0r, it is very unlikely for that to happen and the dhcp server normally checks | 20:11 |
| w1n5ton | Put that as the address? | 20:11 |
| w1n5ton | and subnet mask as netmask? | 20:12 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, try 192.168.1.1 if you don't have internet after using that, open it back up and try 192.168.1.254 | 20:12 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, the subnet mask is the netmask | 20:12 |
| w1n5ton | So it's the IP of the router? | 20:12 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, yes | 20:12 |
| [THC]AcidRain | http://whatismyip.com | 20:12 |
| w1n5ton | it is 192.168.1.254 | 20:12 |
| th0r | w1n5ton: you can determine the gateway and dns addresses from ifconfig | 20:12 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, then the gateway would be 192.168.1.254 | 20:13 |
| w1n5ton | I still have internet | 20:13 |
| llutz | [THC]AcidRain: that will hardly tell you your internal ip | 20:13 |
| symptom | wth is wrong with traceroute6 | 20:13 |
| arleslie | [THC]AcidRain, thanks, but we were getting the internal ip | 20:13 |
| gohdan | [THC]AcidRain: that shows the external wlan ip and not the internal address?? O_o? | 20:13 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh sry. | 20:13 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ifconfig is the way to go then | 20:13 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, ok, then you should have the same ip for the entire time that computer connects to your wireless connection. | 20:13 |
| symptom | $ traceroute6 google.com | 20:13 |
| symptom | traceroute: unknown host google.com | 20:14 |
| arleslie | symptom, can you ping google.com ? | 20:14 |
| cemc | symptom: try: ipv6.google.com | 20:14 |
| symptom | yes | 20:14 |
| thepentester | hi | 20:14 |
| w1n5ton | what if it disconnects | 20:14 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, it'll use that IP when it reconnects | 20:14 |
| symptom | cemc, same | 20:14 |
| symptom | arleslie, yes I can ping | 20:14 |
| arleslie | symptom, are you using IPv6 or IPv4? | 20:14 |
| w1n5ton | it works | 20:15 |
| w1n5ton | I tested it | 20:15 |
| w1n5ton | thanks | 20:15 |
| arleslie | w1n5ton, your welcome | 20:15 |
| thepentester | ipv6 doesnt work in turkey ar | 20:15 |
| thepentester | ar | 20:15 |
| cemc | symptom: hm, it works for me, traceroute6 ipv6.google.com | 20:15 |
| th0r | that was a heck of a way to say thank you | 20:15 |
| cemc | but traceroute6 google.com indeed is not working, because google.com doesn't have AAAA I guess | 20:15 |
| ravage | cemc: ipv6.google.com | 20:16 |
| gohdan | http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/ | 20:16 |
| cemc | ravage: that's what I said, ipv6.google.com is working | 20:16 |
| ravage | it's the only available native host for 99% of the users | 20:16 |
| symptom | arleslie, thats a great question... I dont really know. i have both v4 and v6 behind my router | 20:16 |
| ravage | but read the link | 20:17 |
| ravage | all explained there | 20:17 |
| arleslie | symptom, what cemc says is corrent, google.com does not have an IPv6 ip (which means traceroute6 will not work) try ipv6.google.com | 20:17 |
| Lucius_Tolkar | Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem. I installed ubuntu 11.04 yesterday, got diablo 2 to install, downloaded a couple of free gnome programs, and then shut down. Went back to in this morning and now the operating system wont load, I just get a blinking cursor | 20:17 |
| gskellig | awhile ago, I had unity problems (unity would not work at boot) I have since fixed those, but now 3/4 times I boot it just hangs and I have to force reboot | 20:17 |

| klown | I'm having an issue with my display. I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv) ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260. Any ideas? | 20:17 |
| symptom | arleslie, i did... so ubuntu does not come with a traceroute4 installed? | 20:17 |
| usr13 | !grub2 | Lucius_Tolkar | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Lucius_Tolkar: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| arleslie | symptom, interesting ... I guess it does not | 20:18 |
| cemc | symptom: what are you trying to do exactly? | 20:18 |
| symptom | cemc, just fooling around and tab completed tracer and found there was only traceroute6, then it said host not found.... | 20:18 |
| symptom | So i was supprised and posted here. | 20:19 |
| symptom | apt-get installed traceroute works fine | 20:19 |
| NictraSavios | symptom, traceroute www.google.com < what happends | 20:19 |
| Taymon | I have a USB drive mounted and know the mount point, but need to determine the device name. Is there a command for that? | 20:19 |
| [1]user1 | if i add a host name to /etc/hosts as ip abc.com and hostname as abc.com how much time later i can ssh into it as abc.com | 20:19 |
| arleslie | symptom, to install ipv4 traceroute, use command, "sudo apt-get install traceroute" | 20:19 |
| symptom | thanks all.... I suppose Ubuntu is really trying to push everyone to v6... not a bad thing. | 20:19 |
| [1]user1 | anyone?? | 20:19 |
| symptom | arleslie, yea works fine | 20:19 |
| symptom | thanks | 20:19 |
| arleslie | symptom, ok | 20:19 |
| edwardthefma | help | 20:20 |
| guntbert | [1]user1: you need to put the ip address there | 20:20 |
| arleslie | It is rather out that ubuntu does not install traceroute but does install traceroute6 | 20:20 |
| NictraSavios | !ask | edwardthefma | 20:20 |
| ubottu | edwardthefma: 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. :-) | 20:20 |

| [THC]AcidRain | great...IT WORKED! | 20:21 |
| gskellig | Awhile ago I had unity problems, since fixing them my computer hangs on boot 3/4 times, I have to force restart several times before it will start. Any ideas? | 20:21 |

| [THC]AcidRain | thanks for the help again #ubuntu! | 20:21 |
| [1]user1 | guntberg: where? | 20:21 |
| gohdan | symptom: not all google subdomains are v6 ready. so you usually have to specify them manually right now. i.e. www.*, mail.* etc | 20:21 |
| usr13 | symptom: Ubuntu can't really push people to IPv6. It has to be done via the internet's infrastructure | 20:21 |
| edwardthefma | it isint reconsiing my networks | 20:21 |
| edwardthefma | http://pastebin.com/HfWW4mEp | 20:21 |

| usr13 | symptom: Well, it's not just Ubuntu... | 20:22 |
| NictraSavios | edwardthefma, It should. | 20:22 |
| guntbert | [1]user1: just like 134.15.4.1 abc.com | 20:22 |
| NictraSavios | edwardthefma, Your card is one of the ones that should be detected | 20:23 |
| usr13 | symptom: Win7 is also IPv6 capable | 20:23 |
| [1]user1 | guntberg: i have put this in my /etc/hosts 65.xx.23.xx abc.com and ran "/sbin/hostname abc.com". after this i did /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:23 |
| gskellig | Awhile ago I had unity problems, since fixing them my computer hangs on boot 3/4 times, I have to force restart several times before it will start. Any ideas? | 20:23 |
| guntbert | Taymon: mount will tell you | 20:23 |
| gohdan | symptom: most of them come with v6 tools ootb but the system defaults to v4 for the foreseeable future | 20:23 |
| NictraSavios | edwardthefma, Try googling the network controller with "linux driver for ..." | 20:24 |
| [1]user1 | guntbert: i have put this in my /etc/hosts 65.xx.23.xx abc.com and ran "/sbin/hostname abc.com". after this i did /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:24 |
| symptom | usr13, I dont mean to start a flame war here, I just found it interesting. capable is different from only. for the record, it doesnt really bother me, I just found it interesting. | 20:24 |
| symptom | gohdan, ubuntu defaults to v6 utils | 20:24 |
| edwardthefma | <NictraSavios> i think the driver isint working proporl | 20:24 |
| th0r | [1]user1: is that in your computer...you are setting YOUR hostname? | 20:24 |
| guntbert | [1]user1: you want to change the name of your local system? | 20:24 |

| BonnieP | does someone here knows how to unban yourself? | 20:24 |
| BonnieP | on ICQnet? | 20:25 |

| [THC]AcidRain | mkdosfs: Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device '/dev/sdb' (use -I to override) | 20:26 |
| th0r | [1]user1: as soon as you added that to the other computer, they should have been able to ping the name | 20:26 |
| NictraSavios | edwardthefma, I use a gateway md73, atheros ar928x driver, needed it for packet injection. But i know that broadcoms are a pain. | 20:26 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: its not happening . | 20:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | [THC]AcidRain, you format partitions, not drives. like sdb1 - 1 is the partition number you want to format | 20:26 |

| ZykoticK9 | [THC]AcidRain, you can use fdisk or gparted to partition the drive - then format the "partition" | 20:28 |
| th0r | [1]user1: on a virtual server? I doubt you will be given ssh access to a virtual server | 20:28 |

| xrdodrx | trijntje, odd, working for me... | 20:36 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: it has an ip | 20:36 |
| trijntje | xrdodrx, fresh install or upgrade? | 20:36 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: i need to assign its domain | 20:36 |
| klown | gohdan, flatscreen, 720p | 20:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lukas, i highly doubt trying running wine with higher priority will change anything - and running wine as root is a bad idea | 20:36 |
| ohwow | hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens. | 20:36 |
| Lukas | if i want to start a programm with the highest priority i need sudo | 20:37 |
| gohdan | Lukas: it is not advised to run normal native applications as sudo unless absolutely necessary... god help you if you if you do it with wine of all things | 20:37 |
| aziz | guntbert: hmm, I unmounted the device, but still getting the same error | 20:37 |
| th0r | [1]user1:a web hosting server should already be reachable by name. I suspect there is a problem specific to ssh, not a name/IP issue | 20:37 |
| Lukas | mhm | 20:37 |
| Lukas | but it always lags so much | 20:37 |
| th0r | [1]user1: can you get to the http page by name? | 20:37 |
| WizardDio | any1 here whit tablet expiriance? | 20:37 |
| guntbert | aziz: tell us the command too | 20:38 |
| ShermanBoyd | could someone please post their natty /etc/apt/source.list for me? | 20:38 |
| trijntje | Lukas, I dont think it lags dure to lack of cpu | 20:38 |
| Lukas | yes | 20:38 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: no http server is running ther | 20:38 |
| aziz | cat /dev/dvd > /home/aziz/dvd.iso | 20:38 |
| gohdan | Lukas: probably because it is not native. that is the nature of how wine intercepts api calls | 20:38 |
| aziz | cat /dev/cdrom > /home/aziz/dvd.iso | 20:38 |
| Lukas | but under windows it dint lags | 20:38 |
| ohwow | hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens. | 20:38 |
| aziz | dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/aziz/dvd.iso | 20:38 |
| th0r | [1]user1: do you have a domain name registered? | 20:38 |

| KM0201 | . | 20:41 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: i have a ip which has a ubuntu server running on it. | 20:41 |
| trijntje | xrdodrx, no problem, I'm happy I found out how to fix it. And now I thing I'm gonna complain on the bug report for a bit ;) | 20:42 |
| xrdodrx | trijntje, according to this bug report the X.org developers took it out on purpose | 20:42 |
| xrdodrx | why would they do that is beyond me | 20:42 |
| th0r | [1]user1: ok...not a virtual server. you need to enter that name/ip combination in your computer in /etc/hosts. It doesn't matter if it is in the server or not...so long as your computer can convert the name to the ip you should be in business | 20:42 |
| Lukas | is there a away to start windows games with a higher priority? | 20:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | wow. im about to throw this comp | 20:43 |
| ohwow | guntbert: yes | 20:43 |
| trijntje | Lukas, isnt it due to the graphics card, and not the cpu? | 20:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i hate windows. im using ubuntu. but hate windows. | 20:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im off to work | 20:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | peace | 20:43 |
| Lukas | yes but under windows it works | 20:43 |
| Lukas | with very good graphics | 20:44 |
| trijntje | Lukas, nice only works for the cpu, not the video card | 20:44 |
| Lukas | oh | 20:44 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: i have done that. and restarted networking. but cant ping it even from server machine. | 20:44 |
| trijntje | Lukas, sadly wine is not windows, so there might be differences | 20:44 |
| Lukas | mhm | 20:44 |
| guntbert | ohwow: strange | 20:44 |
| trijntje | Lukas, you could try updating to the latest version of wine, and/or ask in #wine | 20:44 |
| th0r | [1]user1: if you ping the name from your computer, does the ping response show an IP address> | 20:44 |
| thepentester | both use ubuntu and windows together | 20:44 |
| gohdan | Lukas: try checking recommendations on appdb.winehq.org or asking on #winehq how to run as a higher priority or with better performance | 20:45 |
| thepentester | grub is made for that | 20:45 |
| MethedMan | anybody know how to *browse* through "dict" servers such as "wn" and "gcine" | 20:45 |
| th0r | [1]user1: the first line of ping should say PING <domainname> <IP> | 20:45 |
| gohdan | Lukas: but DO NOT run it with sudo | 20:45 |
| Lukas | i cant run it with sudo | 20:45 |
| Lukas | its said that its not my libery | 20:45 |
| th0r | [1]user1: even if the ping doesn't work you should see that first line. that would tell you the name/IP conversion is working in your computer | 20:45 |
| guntbert | ohwow: please have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 20:45 |
| gohdan | there is probably a reason for that | 20:46 |
| klown | I'm having an issue with my display. I cannot fully see my task bars due to the resolution being wrong (I'm using a 32in tv as my monitor, its not my tv) ubuntu 11.04 (installed today), nvidia gtx 260. Any ideas? | 20:46 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: no .it resolves on server. but not from my pc. | 20:46 |
| klown | ugh, didnt mean to post that again, lol. | 20:46 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: but even from server showing ip resolution due to /etc/hosts there is no ping reply | 20:46 |
| th0r | [1]user1: running linux on your pc I assume. The entry should be in /etc/hosts, and it might require ipv6 now | 20:47 |
| MethedMan | i am using some of the dictionaries offline but would like to browse through them if possible | 20:47 |
| Lukas | i cant run it with sudo | 20:47 |
| Lukas | that my problem | 20:47 |
| MethedMan | any help would be appreciated | 20:47 |
| gohdan | klown: iirc there is a way to manually reposition the position of the entire display via the os but it was quite some time ago and a rather obscure hack | 20:47 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: come on ipv6. is it already june or was it to launch in august!! | 20:47 |
| Lukas | wine said that i am nit the owner | 20:48 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: how do i do that. | 20:48 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: is this the reason why my firefox refuses to open gmail also often/ | 20:48 |
| gohdan | klown: guess it is time to brush up on your googlefu | 20:48 |
| th0r | [1]user1: if you can't ping the server from the server using the name, then there is a firewall or router issue involved | 20:48 |
| Lukas | so thank you for all the help | 20:48 |
| klown | gohdan, I've done it before, back in like ubuntu 8, but it required fixing the xorg.conf, but the person who helped me, wrote my xorg.conf for me. | 20:49 |
| klown | gohdan, I've been messing with google, I'm not just sitting around, believe me :P | 20:49 |
| ohwow | hello, im trying to install ubuntu from usb stick. i used usb-creator and it wrote .iso to usb. Now, when I try to boot from that usb is just says "SYSLINUX bla bla" and nothing happens. I just tried the same thing with different usb stick. Maybe i have to wait longer before it loads? but 5 minutes sounds enough | 20:49 |
| th0r | [1]user1: for instance, I have the following line in my /etc/hosts/....127.0.1.1 mother.....and I can ping mother from mother | 20:49 |
| th0r | [1]user1: but when you resolve a domain name to an external ip, then the ping has to go out to the network and get routed back, and there is where you are losing it | 20:50 |
| cypha`` | I tried installing VBoxGuestAdditions, but sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run didn't seem to do anything | 20:50 |

| klown | why am I backing my system up? | 20:51 |
| klown | :P | 20:51 |
| black_ | mam problem | 20:52 |
| th0r | [1]user1: that makes no sense. If you are seeing the ip address when you try to ping the name (from the server), then the ping should work as it is using the IP even if you entered the domain name | 20:52 |
| gohdan | klown: storage is cheap. shame on you for not having your ancient systems and their confs backed up somewhere!! | 20:52 |
| BluesKaj | klown, which graphics card , and which driver is it using ? | 20:52 |
| klown | nvidia gtx 260 | 20:52 |
| klown | and its using nvidia-current right now. | 20:52 |

| insomina | im trying to enable a gdm login theme from gnome-look... is this not possible in ubuntu 10.10 onwards? | 20:53 |
| klown | gohdan, normally I get mad at linux, and swear I'll never go back, and always end up doing it. | 20:53 |
| klown | so, when I format, I'm upset, and backing up is the last thing I think of. | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | ok klown what monitor and connection type ? | 20:54 |
| klown | 32inch tv, hdmi | 20:54 |
| klown | 720p | 20:54 |
| klown | panasonic flatscreen. | 20:54 |
| pozic | Does Ubuntu use any LVM by default? | 20:55 |
| pozic | If not, if I remove a Logical Volume which is now occupied by something else, will that something else not be deleted? | 20:55 |
| pozic | The 'something else' is Ubuntu. | 20:55 |
| gohdan | klown: refresh rate applies too since its a tv | 20:55 |
| melkor2 | hi | 20:55 |
| insomina | i appreciate that my question may seem trivial .. but if anyone could share some light i would be grateful. Is the login screen manager now crippled in releases of ubuntu. i cannot apply themes from gnome-look | 20:55 |
| melkor2 | I have just installed some new packages and the unity's panel has crashed | 20:56 |
| _chun | anyone with dosbox installed do me a quick favour? | 20:57 |
| melkor2 | I restart but I cant get back working | 20:57 |
| melkor2 | not in unity nor in classic | 20:57 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: sorry even the ip is not getting a reply. but why? how do i check if ping server is working or not. what should i install as a dns service or whatever? | 20:57 |
| pankaj_sharma | _chun, hmm | 20:57 |
| gohdan | _chun: whatcha need? | 20:57 |
| melkor2 | and If I run "unity" in the console, I get a segmentation fault.... | 20:57 |
| prower | hello :> i've had a strange problem with my dvd burner since...probably 9.04 actually. although it can burn at speeds up to 32x for cd's and 16x for dvd's, no matter what software i use to burn a disc the speed is always limited to 4x | 20:57 |
| mikikar | lang pl? | 20:57 |
| klown | gohdan, the refresh rate wouldnt have anything to do with the screen being "too big", would it? | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | klown, why 720 , most large scrn monitors are 1920x1080 ..my monitor is a 42" panasonic and that's it's native res ...try changing to that | 20:57 |
| _chun | gohdan: just need someone to try connecting to my ipx server, see if it's possible for people not on my local network | 20:58 |

| prower | hmm...well, hopefully someone will stop by with an answer on that one later :> in a more general sense, how is unity stability wise...i'm trying to decide whether or not to download ubuntu or kubuntu for my upcoming upgrade | 21:02 |
| boodieman | prower, stable here | 21:03 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: ?? | 21:03 |
| iceroot | prower: if you dont like it use kde, xfce4, lxde, gnome2 | 21:03 |
| prower | boodieman: ah, well that's encouraging at least...most of the people i've run into have had nothing but complaints, though i suspect that's probably because it's just radically different from what people are used to on a desktop | 21:04 |
| jkoltner | Hello... This might not be Ubuntu-specific, although I could swear it's only started recently after some Ubuntu updates: If I execute "mv test.txt test.TXT" in bash, I get the error, "mv: 'test.txt' and 'test.TXT' are the same file." Well, um, no, they're not! Any idea how to make this behave? | 21:04 |
| prower | iceroot: i'm aware that there are other choices, yes :> i was just wondering how unity stacked up, never used it before | 21:04 |
| iceroot | prower: use a live-cd and find out | 21:04 |
| thepentester | unity sucks | 21:04 |
| thepentester | :D | 21:04 |
| boodieman | prower, its different, but its stable | 21:04 |
| [1]user1 | th0r: how do i install dns service and remove firewalls | 21:04 |
| jkoltner | Oh, wait, I think I know my problem... this is on a memory card that I believe is FAT32 formatted | 21:04 |
| jkoltner | Sorry :-) | 21:04 |
| prower | boodieman: the impression i got from watching videos was that it was more tablet oriented :> i wouldn't doubt that canonical might have plans to produce an ubuntu tablet sometime in the distant future | 21:05 |
| boodieman | prower, I use it on my desktop machine | 21:06 |
| prower | thepentester, did you have any specific problems or did you just not like it in general? | 21:06 |

| thepentester | prower ı am a netbook user and unity is soo useless for my netbook | 21:07 |

| jkoltner | candyban: /home/jkoltner/Desktop/eBay | 21:07 |
| jkoltner | mmmm | 21:07 |
| thepentester | ı use 10.04.2 LTS right now and its ok | 21:07 |
| iceroot | candyban: no | 21:07 |
| jkoltner | candyban: sorry, I swear copy and paste isn't working, one moment | 21:07 |
| iceroot | candyban: but you can have a linux based terminal server e.g. with nx | 21:07 |
| jkoltner | candyban: Try here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xrdp/ | 21:08 |
| prower | thepentester: ahh, that's unfortunate i was thinking of installing it on my acer aspire one as well | 21:08 |
| aziz | guntbert: now it's working. I didn't invoke the special install script for reading dvd's. sorry for bothering. :) | 21:08 |

| MonkeyDust | about PGP: since the upgrade to natty, i am unable decrypt files, it seems i have deleted some key(s) in seahorse, hint & tips anyone? | 21:10 |
| prower | boodieman: yes, i know :> which is good, you need to have that choice there...i wouldn't run a version of ubuntu that didn't let me choose xorg over wayland for example, what a bug ridden mess that is :P | 21:11 |

| nelson___ | (using ubuntu 11.04)I instaled nvidia drivers with the ADITIONAL DRIVERS option, using the recomended version. Unity is working fine. But i have this message: driver was activated but not in use (something like that, i'm using portuguese version) | 21:13 |
| klown | BluesKaj, I dont think I can change this to 1080i. | 21:13 |
| boodieman | prower, you could always just use the command line :-) | 21:13 |
| gohdan | ShermanBoyd: amateur. i tattoo mine on the back of my eyelids | 21:13 |

| prower | links2 doesn't quite cut it any more | 21:14 |
| boodieman | prower, there is Lynx :D | 21:14 |
| prower | boodieman: that's true, although i've found that links2 does a better job of rendering pages roughly the way they're supposed to look when i've tried it...maybe good old lynx has improved since then | 21:15 |
| gohdan | ShermanBoyd: it is rather troublesome when i have to revoke them... requires a cheese grater and some bleach | 21:15 |

| boodieman | prower, when I stated with unix, it was all command line, been a long time since I used it that way. I do remember pine being a bit of a pita to use, or was that emacs? (shows age) | 21:17 |

| waldir | hi all. I'm looking for an IM that allows connecting to various networks, and keeps the contact lyst synced (so that merged contacts, custom names, groups, etc are the same in every computer I use it). Is there anything that does this? | 22:11 |
| mfaroukg | celthunder, no it still works | 22:11 |
| cypha | Juest, headers for the current running kernel were still not found | 22:11 |
| mfaroukg | celthunder, I just can't see the icon | 22:11 |
| celthunder | waldir: trillian, weechat, | 22:11 |
| Yami_Bas | alright | 22:11 |
| Yami_Bas | well got pavucontrol now ;) | 22:12 |

| Yami_Bas | i should go to bed but mweeeh... | 22:12 |
| celthunder | Yami_Bas: ok got your 5.1? | 22:12 |
| Yami_Bas | not sure yet :P | 22:12 |
| waldir | celthunder: thanks :) btw do know if they can connect to facebook, gtalk, skype and msn? those are the ones I'm interested in | 22:12 |
| celthunder | lol kk | 22:12 |
| celthunder | waldir: i don't use either but theoretically any xmpp client will work for msn facebook and gtalk...skype....fails so idk what protocol they use...i'd say sip...which you can get clients that do xmpp/sip ... | 22:13 |
| gohdan | waldir: pidgin | 22:13 |
| celthunder | waldir: do you want syncing even when ones offline during the initial chat? | 22:14 |
| waldir | gohdan: Ithanks but that fails my first requirement (sync contact lists) | 22:14 |
| waldir | celthunder: not sure what you mean | 22:14 |
| waldir | I just don't want to lose my customizations when I move to another computer | 22:14 |
| celthunder | waldir: eh contact list syncing pretty much forces xmpp server no? | 22:14 |

| lorddelta | Hey, I have a problem with my Ubuntu Desktop, thought I might as well ask to see if its a fixable problem before reporting it as a bug. Often, when minimize my windows, or use the "Show Desktop" command (I have it bound to the same key combo as in Windows), I cannot actually access my desktop, right clicking and such brings up context menus for programs that are supposedly hidden. | 22:16 |
| === elliott is now known as Guest56349 | ||

| Narigo | Hi there, this computer just halted while browsing (worked on the same sites before..) - where can I find information about what happened/what log-files would be good to check and to track down what caused the problem? | 22:17 |
| celthunder | waldir: well...ok theres probably other ways but the only way i've ever seen all contact lists merged at once was when i merged my msn gtalk and yahoo with an XMPP or XMMP server (not sure which it actually is ) | 22:17 |
| pbos | ikonia: was under troubleshooting, didn't get that far, but I got that part working now, so thanks for helping out. Sorry for not reading carefully enough. | 22:18 |
| waldir | celthunder: wait maybe I'm not explaining correctly :) | 22:18 |
| waldir | celthunder: I don't need to merge/sync one IM's contact list to another (say msn/gtalk) | 22:19 |
| waldir | what I want if for the IM client to remember when I tell it that john@hotmail.com is the same guy as john@gmail.com | 22:19 |
| waldir | and that I want to see it on my list as "Johnny" | 22:19 |
| waldir | makes sense? | 22:20 |
| celthunder | oh kk yeah...pick any client and just sync configs then | 22:20 |
| waldir | not sure what you mean. for instance how'd you do that in pidgin? | 22:20 |
| waldir | the configs afaik are kept in a local config file | 22:21 |

| ikonia | iceroot: let him find out - not supporting it | 22:53 |
| celthunder | iceroot: don't see why it would | 22:53 |
| iceroot | celthunder: because its stupid and the biggest security whole you can have | 22:53 |
| ikonia | celthunder: it is, root login is disabled by default | 22:53 |
| gohdan | iceroot: it blocks port 6000 but not root | 22:53 |
| nosmelc | How do I set up a Ubuntu Desktop box so that the user can't do "sudo" using their log in password? Sorry if that's a dumb question :/ | 22:54 |
| Juest | no, iceroot, gdm ask for passwords and for using root you need to set a password, root is enabled | 22:54 |
| ikonia | Juest: it's not - but good luck, let stop discussing it as we don't support that config here | 22:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | nosmelc, remove the user(s) from the admin group | 22:54 |
| celthunder | nosmelc: visudo | 22:54 |
| Juest | ok | 22:54 |
| iceroot | Juest: hm, never heard that root-login is enabled by default in gdm | 22:54 |
| nosmelc | ZykoticK9: ohh ok | 22:54 |
| lsv | nosmelc: keep at least one user with sudo power | 22:55 |
| nemor | it doesn't look very dumb, nosmelc | 22:55 |
| MagicJ | nosmelc: there is a sudoers file that you must be listed in to be allowed sudo | 22:55 |
| celthunder | iceroot: gdm is a login manager...it doesn't care as long as you use a valid login (theoretically) | 22:55 |
| iceroot | celthunder: it blocks uid=0 | 22:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, anyone in the admin group can use sudo | 22:55 |
| Flannel | MagicJ, nosmelc: No, the admin group is listed in the file, and you need to be a member of the admin group | 22:55 |
| Juest | root login is not enabled, just it allows you to login as root (you must have a password for root and you type root in Other...) | 22:55 |
| iceroot | celthunder: or better it blocks everything below 1000 | 22:55 |
| celthunder | ah | 22:55 |
| celthunder | i don't use gdm...i'm lazy..xdm works just fine for me | 22:56 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: are you sure - that certainly did not used to be the case and would be different t Debian | 22:56 |
| nemor | you can esclude user from all groups | 22:56 |
| Juest | iceroot..... | 22:56 |
| Juest | ^^^^^ | 22:56 |
| iceroot | Juest: its not enabled, i was looking it up and please stop using your desktop with root | 22:56 |
| nemor | but one | 22:56 |
| Juest | OK | 22:56 |
| NictraSavios | Would someone mind looking at my /etc/fstab and making and suggestions as to what to change in regards to the the "'defaults", what paramaters should I give them?" | 22:56 |
| nemor | not groups | 22:56 |
| NictraSavios | It is here http://paste.pocoo.org/show/401331/ | 22:56 |
| nemor | wait | 22:56 |
| Juest | i have defaulted my desktop as root :D | 22:56 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: defaults are fine | 22:56 |
| nemor | that's wrong Juest | 22:56 |
| edbian | Juest: That's a really bad idea. | 22:56 |
| celthunder | NictraSavios: defaults,noatime,user_xattr for the /home | 22:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, yes I'm sure. And actually it is the same in Debian, admin group is in sudoers | 22:56 |
| celthunder | NictraSavios: didn't actually look at your current settings just the ones i use | 22:57 |
| Juest | celthunder: better to use gdm or wdm, these DMs allow to choose session | 22:57 |
| iceroot | Juest: as i said that is the stupiest thing you can do | 22:57 |
| NictraSavios | celthunder, Thank you, Can you take a look? | 22:57 |
| Juest | :'( | 22:57 |
| nemor | esclude user from as much user priviliges as appropriate | 22:57 |
| Computer-Freak | edbian: to find my hostname i typed hostname on terminal or is the name that i named my computer? | 22:57 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: the defaults are fine | 22:57 |
| celthunder | Juest: lol if i wanat to change it i'd set it in xinitrc | 22:57 |
| iain80 | Hi, do people use seahorse for general password management? or is there an alternative that's more UI-fancy? | 22:57 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: Yuck - not at you - but at that change - the sudoers file is quite enough but I guess this is the sort of change that someone thought was good | 22:57 |
| nemor | first untoggle "administer the system" ? | 22:57 |
| tolmun | right way to setup root account is without password? | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, sorry on Debian it is the sudo group - so a little differetn | 22:57 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, I heard you. But options are good aswell, Futher security can be gained. | 22:58 |
| edbian | Computer-Freak: hostname is the name you get from the hostname command AND it is the name of your computer. hostnames will not work if you don't have a DNS server. I suggest you use IP addresses. | 22:58 |
| jamesstanley | I recently got a new graphics card (an nvidia one) and I am running the nvidia proprietary driver. I am on amd64. When I try to play DVD's I have sound but no picture. Can anyone help? | 22:58 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: why do you want to change the default options / | 22:58 |
| iceroot | tolmun: right way is to use sudo | 22:58 |
| Juest | DM choose is better than xinitrc, celthunder | 22:58 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: give me 1 reason | 22:58 |
| celthunder | tolmun: lol that's the worst idea i've ever heard of ...have a password at least | 22:58 |
| celthunder | Juest: talk to me when you aren't using X as root... | 22:58 |
| Juest | why? | 22:58 |
| tolmun | ok disable root account? | 22:58 |
| iceroot | Juest: your system is not supported here | 22:58 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, Because i wrote the fstab myself. I know from other user discussing it that setting some as other things , you can gain security and performance | 22:58 |
| Juest | BUAAAAAAHHHHHH | 22:58 |
| iceroot | tolmun: its diabled by default | 22:58 |
| ikonia | tolmun: it's disabled by default | 22:58 |
| iceroot | !root | tolmun | 22:59 |
| ubottu | tolmun: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:59 |
| celthunder | tolmun: or put just an x in /etc/passwd for root pw | 22:59 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: the defaults are "fine" more so as the majority of yours are NTFS mounts | 22:59 |
| Computer-Freak | edbian: you mean on screen 1 and screen 2 to put the IP adresses right? not the hostname. section: screens | 22:59 |

| Maxx640 | Hi there, can anybody tell me if there is a way of getting rid of gnumeric in xubuntu in the application menu after having uninstalled it with the software center? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: so over %50 is non native, the defaults are fine | 22:59 |
| EastDallas | OK, now running X as root -- not such a good idea. I came in on the middle and thought y'all were just talking about having a gui installed on a server machine. Which I think is fine as long as you set it up so that you have to manually start X. | 22:59 |
| edbian | Computer-Freak: Actually. In that config file, hostnames work fine. Sorry for the confusion! | 22:59 |
| edbian | Computer-Freak: Do not paste in the channel. Use pastebin | 22:59 |
| tolmun | thx | 22:59 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, I am by no means looking for "fine", Plus, This is my v1, I plan to reinstall with seperate /boot , /usr and /var | 23:00 |
| celthunder | EastDallas: lol yeah juest thinks it's a brilliant idea..i'll just lol when he gets fucked over | 23:00 |
| nemor | Maxx640: there is a way. | 23:00 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: ok - what do you want to gain, and I'll tell you what options to change | 23:00 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: what do you want to change | 23:00 |
| Maxx640 | Nemor: what is it? | 23:00 |
| Computer-Freak | edbian: so i will put the hostname and not the IP. if i put the IP it's wrong? | 23:00 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, I know what each paramater dose. Ive alredy read the manuals. I want to know if someone thinks i "should" for good reasons, not because "the defaults are fine" | 23:01 |
| edbian | Computer-Freak: I'm not sure IP will mess it up. Looking at mine I have hostnames and I know I don't have a DNS server. All I can see is that hostnames work. | 23:01 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: I think you should not change anything as if you know what the parameters did and you knew how to use them, you would not be asking | 23:01 |
| sleek | Afrix, lol | 23:01 |
| celthunder | NictraSavios: can i get your link agin sorry | 23:01 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, I alredy do. I am unsure if I should. | 23:01 |
| NictraSavios | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/401331/ | 23:01 |
| celthunder | thanks | 23:01 |
| nemor | try System Preferences Main Menu | 23:01 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: I also think that the file systems are known to you, eg: are you running a mail service, in which case noatime would be wise, but not wise if you're not etc, so only YOU can know | 23:01 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, What about for maximium security. | 23:02 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: what about it ? | 23:02 |
| NictraSavios | ikonia, What would i change for that. | 23:02 |
| Computer-Freak | edbian: it does matter if hostname in both PCs is the same? | 23:02 |
| iceroot | NictraSavios: turn off the computer fpr maximum security | 23:02 |

| iceroot | gohdan: stop that here please | 23:02 |
| ikonia | NictraSavios: depends on your system and how you want to use it, as I've said, the defaults are fine unless you have something specific | 23:02 |
| NictraSavios | celthunder, I do have specifics. I am unable to say them | 23:03 |

| th0r | cypha:just open a terminal and do 'su <yourusername> | 23:06 |
| cypha | i just need something with sudo | 23:06 |
| cypha | thanks th0r | 23:06 |
| nemor | ubuntu is so smooth and easy | 23:06 |
| cypha | th0r, ok, the issue is that my password is not changing | 23:06 |
| nemor | i am just afraid it will crash all of a sudden | 23:06 |
| iceroot | cypha: what is not easy about tty2 or ssh? | 23:06 |

| djiefo | Hi, someone know how to downgrade my compiz? | 23:07 |
| iceroot | djiefo: downgrade is not supported | 23:08 |
| djiefo | because the 9.4 version is unstable | 23:08 |
| cypha | th0r, so by doing passwd, am I not changing my user's passwd? and instead changing the root's passwd? cuz I thought my current user was the root user | 23:08 |
| iceroot | is 9.04 still supported? | 23:08 |

| DevilSolution | tip for the guru's, if someone is having issues installing a package and inside the error code it flags anything to do with high def colours or icons, it could be related what mode the user is logged in as (i.e. ubuntu (no effects)) | 23:11 |

| juniorbisono | Seveas, let me take a look around.... | 23:18 |
| nemor | maybe you can try to untoggle some comopiz features | 23:18 |
| nemor | or see if there is some collision with google earth | 23:19 |
| boodieman | Seveas, nothing in there for those | 23:19 |
| nemor | but i don't know | 23:19 |
| djiefo | i dont have google earth | 23:19 |
| Juest | ok, i stopped using X as root | 23:19 |
| nemor | well done Juest | 23:19 |
| Juest | and now, desktop-file-utils can't process | 23:20 |
| nemor | lol | 23:20 |
| Juest | i was trying to purge gnome-screensaver | 23:20 |
| Juest | and i use xscreensaver instead | 23:20 |
| Juest | nemor, | 23:21 |
| nemor | we meant you use your system as XXUser everyday | 23:21 |
| nemor | you can do su for special purposes | 23:21 |
| Juest | what? why? | 23:21 |
| Juest | well | 23:21 |
| nemor | like changing permissions to some difficult directories | 23:21 |
| Juest | sudo, you mean | 23:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | nemo, sudo - not su! | 23:22 |
| Juest | but yes | 23:22 |
| nemor | sudo | 23:22 |
| nemor | sometimes i had to login as root | 23:22 |
| nemor | from another consol | 23:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | nemo, "sudo -i" for that | 23:22 |
| Juest | su, i still have the root password, so now i can su properly | 23:22 |
| nemor | sometimes sudo does not work | 23:22 |
| philipballew | su can be a easy way to not have to type sudo all the time | 23:22 |
| Juest | su never works if you have a blank root password | 23:22 |
| nemor | right | 23:23 |
| [deXter] | Hi all | 23:23 |
| Juest | and better yet, | 23:23 |
| Juest | sudo sh | 23:23 |
| Juest | that's for root term | 23:23 |
| [deXter] | I'm unable to set Chromium as my default browser; even update-alternatives doesn't seem to have any effect. | 23:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Juest, don't use that | 23:23 |
| nemor | time to man sudo? | 23:23 |
| Juest | so froget about sudo sudo | 23:23 |
| ffmjf | hi guys. i'm having an issue where there's no vga output at all after POST until the GUI login. i'm pretty sure it's a grub display settings issue but i can't quite resolve it | 23:23 |
| Rollin | dexter use "preferred apps" | 23:23 |
| iceroot | Juest: your loginshell is not sh so sudo sh is not good and we told you to stop that stupid root actions | 23:24 |
| nemor | sudo -i | 23:24 |
| Juest | [deXter]: read what Rollin says | 23:24 |
| [deXter] | Rollin: O.o Oh, never knew that existed! | 23:24 |
| nemor | interesting | 23:24 |
| [deXter] | Wonder why update-alternatives didn't work.. | 23:24 |
| ffmjf | i suppsoe my first question is after i've made an edit to /etc/default/grub ... is there something i need to run, to make it stick? | 23:24 |
| nemor | thks, ZykoticK9 | 23:24 |
| Juest | ffmjf: run sudo update-grub | 23:25 |
| Rollin | dexter, juest.. ya those settings are really hidden. glad you fixed it! | 23:25 |
| adrian15 | ffmjf: Try adding nosplash to kernel parametres or removing splash and quiet parametres. | 23:25 |
| naptastic | ffmjf, sudo update-grub | 23:25 |

| ffmjf | awesome thank you. i think setting it to the default 640x480 will solve this but i was missing the last bit | 23:25 |
| ffmjf | time to reboot and try it. thanks all! | 23:25 |

| Juest | yes | 23:26 |
| ffmjf | thanks a ton. i'm 99% sure this will fix it | 23:26 |
| phrosty_ | I just installed ubuntu 11.04, is there a way to have the menu bar as a drop down menu rather than all the links on the side? | 23:27 |
| Juest | ffmjf or go sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:27 |
| dijonyummy123 | hard to file cuz hard to know why, it just terminates. then i just restart nautilus, perform same operation and its ok. happens maybe a couple or more times a week | 23:27 |
| Juest | and froget the do not edit this file line | 23:27 |
| nit-wit | phrosty_, the classic desktop menu will do it, choose ot at login. | 23:28 |
| nemor | or eat a ham BURG er | 23:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | Juest, don't make (or suggest) changes to menu.lst - that file is overwritten whenever update-grub2 is run. | 23:28 |
| Sanctusorium | Any one know how I can start Ubuntu Classic mode via terminal? | 23:28 |
| nit-wit | *it | 23:28 |
| phrosty_ | Oh ok so it's at the login screen nit-wit? | 23:28 |
| Juest | wondering why desktop-file-utils fails to do anything.... i get error code exit 1 | 23:28 |
| nit-wit | phrosty_, yeah choose you name then the dropdown for desktops | 23:28 |
| nemor | what is desktop-file-utils | 23:29 |
| nit-wit | Sanctusorium, you have to log out of X | 23:29 |
| Juest | is a package that nautilus and some of gnome apps use | 23:29 |
| Sanctusorium | nit-wit: I am logging in via VNC. Should I just remove the X Start up command? | 23:30 |
| Guest8093 | ok I installed sudo apt-get instal ubuntu-desktop, it is working now but low in system isn't displaying graphics well, video does not refresh quickly, so old info from prior window is still present | 23:30 |
| Guest8093 | in=end | 23:30 |
| nit-wit | Sanctusorium, I haven't used vnc. | 23:30 |
| Juest | Sanctusorium: you have to log in using recovery console, is a terminal, closing it ends the session | 23:30 |
| Sanctusorium | nit-wit: Okie! Thank you! ;3 | 23:30 |
| Sanctusorium | Juest: How should I go about that? | 23:31 |
| Juest | about what Sanctusorium? | 23:31 |
| nemor | Juest it could be permissions on .desktop files | 23:31 |
| nemor | ? | 23:31 |
| Juest | Sanctusorium: yes, as long you can ssh and run it, and better not removing it, maybe vnc fails if no X is there | 23:31 |
| nit-wit | Guest8093, are you running natty? | 23:31 |
| celthunder | Sanctusorium: in your .xinitrc ck-launch-session gnome-session | 23:31 |
| nemor | have you changed anything major | 23:31 |
| nemor | groups users permissions | 23:32 |
| Juest | nemor, yes it manages .desktop | 23:32 |

| === AndMyAxe_ is now known as AndMyAxe | ||
| Juest | Guest8093: you are running natty, (natty= 11.04) | 23:33 |

| nemor | is it in your home directory? | 23:33 |
| Juest | ummm | 23:33 |
| Guest8093 | no unless server 11.04 is natty | 23:34 |

| SuperTeece | Hi all | 23:42 |
| Juest | how i can fix desktop-file-utils error in any apt-get that involves it? | 23:42 |
| th0r | basilfaulty: you can't make a dos partition bootable...there is only one mbr and if you have both linux and dos on the same drive linux (grub) installs to the mbt | 23:42 |
| usr13 | basilfaulty: dd if=/mnt/floppy/ of=/mnt/disk/ | 23:42 |
| heffay | Anyone? This should be a pretty basic feature and easy to troubleshoot... | 23:42 |
| iceroot | Juest: depending on the error | 23:42 |
| ikonia | Juest: it's already installed, why are you trying to install it | 23:42 |
| SuperTeece | Sounds like there may already be a grub discussion going? | 23:43 |
| basilfaulty | will it work with an iso? eg a win install? | 23:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | usr13, i'm not sure your dd command is correct. should that be a device and not a mount point? | 23:43 |
| LuckyStrike | hi again, Lucky here, I have a question: | 23:43 |

| Juest | i just try to purge gnome-screensaver (i use xscreensaver) and it came up an error when dpkg tires to do --purge with desktop-file-utils | 23:43 |
| basilfaulty | th0r: I'm hoping grub will find the other partition after i update-grub | 23:43 |
| ikonia | Juest: why are you doing this ? | 23:44 |
| usr13 | basilfaulty: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/sdb1 | 23:44 |
| ikonia | Juest: it's linked into the desktop, it takes up about 16 of disk space, why are you trying to remove it | 23:44 |
| ikonia | 16k | 23:44 |
| lukecrowe | For a VPS with 512mb RAM, would your recommend Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.04? 32 or 64 bit? | 23:44 |
| basilfaulty | how about dd if=/an.iso of=/dev/sdb1 ? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | lukecrowe: the LTS version is always a good choice | 23:44 |
| Juest | i just want to use xscreensaver not gnome-screensaver | 23:44 |
| ikonia | Juest: that's fine, use it, but you don't need to uninstall gnome-screensaver to do that | 23:45 |
| Juest | and i have iusses with desktop-file-utils | 23:45 |
| basilfaulty | I'm going to try it :) | 23:45 |
| ikonia | Juest: desktop-file-utils is already installed, | 23:45 |

| celthunder | has anyone noted how much faster booting is with e4rat? | 23:45 |
| basilfaulty | does a drive need to be formated before I dd to it? | 23:45 |
| IsmAvatar | If I want ubuntu 11.04, should I download from ubuntu.com or is there a more recent build that I should use? | 23:45 |

| LuckyStrike | My laptop is dying, my HDD shows nothing but internal errors, so just to use internet and stuff, I have to run a LiveCD ubuntu now(10.04), but it takes ages! to boot, because, ubuntu keeps trying to detect and get ready for running the hard drive (ATA). I read somewhere, that you can blacklist devices from the boot sequence. Could | 23:46 |
| usr13 | heffay: nfs? | 23:46 |
| basilfaulty | if I dd a small file onto a large partition.. does the size of the partition change? | 23:46 |
| Juest | i don't try to install it, i just get troubles when dpkg tires to configure desktop-file-utils on any install/uninstall/purge of any package that haves to configure desktop-file-utils | 23:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | lukecrowe, with only 512MB ram it is unlikely that 64bit will be any benefit... but it's possible. | 23:46 |
| heffay | no its a samba share on a debian box | 23:46 |
| nemor | ah it is vps | 23:47 |
| basilfaulty | guessing not | 23:47 |
| heffay | the only computer that refuses to connect to it is ubuntu | 23:47 |
| Juest | ok ikonia? | 23:47 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: you're going to struggle as it needs a hard disk to swap out on to for the livecd | 23:47 |
| nemor | i don't know vps | 23:47 |
| lukecrowe | ZykoticK9: Cool, thanks. | 23:47 |
| LuckyStrike | you tell me how and if I can tell ubuntu on start not to bother about HDD? | 23:47 |
| lukecrowe | bye. | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Juest: you can't remove that, the whole desktop depends on it | 23:47 |
| usr13 | heffay: Why not just use nfs? | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Juest: why are you messing with the desktop packages, they are all needed to run, stop trying to purge things | 23:47 |
| th0r | LuckyStrike: that should be in the setup in the first few seconds of bootup...before linux even starts to load | 23:47 |
| Juest | i am not trying to remove it | 23:47 |
| usr13 | heffay: Is this a wired connection? | 23:47 |
| ikonia | Juest: what are you trying to remove | 23:47 |
| heffay | usr13, that's not really a solution | 23:47 |
| heffay | wired and wireless clients all over the house | 23:48 |
| usr13 | heffay: Why not? | 23:48 |
| Juest | just dpkg tires to configure it and fails | 23:48 |
| Juest | WHY? | 23:48 |
| th0r | LuckyStrike: when the computer first starts it should say something like 'F2 for setup' | 23:48 |
| ikonia | Juest: no it doesn't, it trys to configure it if you tell it to do something, what are you telling it to do | 23:48 |
| heffay | the debian box hosting the share is wired though | 23:48 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia, th0r, yes, dmesg says it's on beggining, but how can I force it not to bother about HDD? | 23:48 |
| Juest | sudo apt-get purge gnome-screensaver | 23:48 |
| linda_ | do someone have the driver for Wireless broadcom M94311? | 23:48 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: it needs one | 23:49 |
| Juest | it says that dpkg exits with error 1 | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Juest: I've just told you to NOT remove it | 23:49 |
| th0r | LuckyStrike: when you press F2 you will be taken to a setup screen where you can tell it to look first at the CD | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Juest: why are you trying to remove it after I've told you not to | 23:49 |
| heffay | why not? because im not going to set up a whole new share and filesystem JUST because ubuntu doesn't want to play nice. macs and windows and other debian boxes connect just fine | 23:49 |
| Juest | not desktop-file-utils is there as not fully installed or removed | 23:49 |
| Juest | now* | 23:49 |
| LuckyStrike | th0r - it's not what I'm asking about.... | 23:49 |
| ikonia | Juest: I told you not to remove gnome-screensaver, why are you telling it to remove it | 23:49 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia, so there is no way? | 23:50 |
| pietr101 | Hello, how do i recursively convert all file extensions to lowercase? | 23:50 |
| ikonia | pietr101: write a script and use "tr" to change them | 23:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Juest, "sudo apt-get -f install" to try fixing any currently broken packages | 23:50 |
| jmcantrell | is it possible to change the sizes with the compiz grid plugin? | 23:50 |
| Juest | froget about the gnome-screensaver uninstall ,now desktop-file-utils is there as not fully installed or removed | 23:50 |
| Juest | ZykoticK9: that doesn't fix it | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Juest: no - you've broke it by trying to remove dependencies from it | 23:50 |
| ikonia | Juest: stop trying to remove parts of the gnoem desktop | 23:50 |
| Juest | it fixes nothing | 23:51 |
| Juest | now i have to install the meta package again -.- | 23:51 |
| linda_ | Where do I find the driver for Broadcom M 94311 Wireless? | 23:51 |
| heffay | So, does anyone have ideas on how to troubleshoot this? | 23:51 |
| ikonia | Juest: that will teach you to stop trying to remove parts of the gnome desktop | 23:51 |
| ikonia | !broadcom | linda_ | 23:51 |
| ubottu | linda_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 23:51 |
| pietr101 | ikonia: i'm not very familiar with regular expressions and tr. any easy/fast way for no pro? | 23:52 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia, so there is no way? | 23:52 |
| ikonia | pietr101: it's pretty straight forward, a recursive loop, pipe through tr, then rename | 23:52 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: how much ram do you have | 23:52 |
| heffay | if i smbclient -L Host i get (Error NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE) | 23:52 |
| ikonia | heffay: can't get to that host, network/firewall/service not running | 23:53 |
| heffay | ikonia, what? | 23:53 |
| ikonia | heffay: "NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE" it can't talk to that service over the network for some reason | 23:54 |
| heffay | right | 23:54 |
| heffay | every other computer in the house can connect just fine. its ONLY the ubuntu computer throwing that error | 23:54 |
| ikonia | so start debugging it, I've just given you some common causes | 23:54 |
| heffay | im trying to figure out why | 23:54 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia 1 GB | 23:54 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: search for livecd boot params to use a ram disk instead of a hard disk, I'm sure it's possible, 1Gb should be enough | 23:54 |
| heffay | so the service is there, and working properly | 23:55 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: although I don't know why you don't just take the hard disk out if it's broke | 23:55 |
| ikonia | heffay: ok - so work on the comms between the two hosts | 23:55 |
| heffay | im trying to figure out what the problem on the ubuntu side is | 23:55 |
| iain80 | Hi, what password managers are people using on ubuntu? is seahorse the best, or would something like keepass be a better choice? | 23:55 |
| tieinv | uses keepass | 23:56 |
| th0r | keepassx is a cross-platform fork of keepass if I remember correctly | 23:57 |
| heffay | what do you suggest ikonia? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | heffay: checking the comms between the two hosts | 23:57 |
| heffay | would you mind elaborating? | 23:57 |
| heffay | i dont know what you mean by that | 23:57 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia about removing hard disk, I was thinking about it, but I remember trying that some time ago and ubuntu was also looking for the HDD and the boot time was also much longer (havn't been trying this now). Would you think it would help? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | heffay: sure, do some tests to make sure the two hosts can see each other on the required ports, telnet is a good test to hit ports | 23:57 |
| ikonia | LuckyStrike: if you're machine won't boot due to a dead hard disk, get a new disk | 23:58 |
| th0r | ikonia: I thought both the usb and live-cd would leave the hd untouched | 23:58 |
| ikonia | th0r: it needs one / likes one to swap out the cd, | 23:58 |
| LuckyStrike | ikonia it's a long story, but I don't think it's just a disk(I need a new laptop, sadly...). | 23:59 |
