| DasEi | jaybee__: most are stored there, get the numbers from terminal (sudo apt-get update) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| RocketSnail | oh why? I would like to have both of them so I can use both | 00:00 |
| rinkukokiri | qin, and i have a side by side installation of windows and ubuntu... | 00:00 |
| rinkukokiri | qin, though most call it dual boot | 00:00 |
| WinstonSmith | RocketSnail: provided you have enough space for ubuntu yes you can | 00:00 |
| RocketSnail | I mean will anything bad happen? (to qin and rin) :) | 00:00 |
| s0up | so there is no way to have compiz enabled but have standard gnome classic no effects window decoration? | 00:00 |
| ionwind | hello | 00:00 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: Nope, side by side, means one partition and two systems. | 00:01 |
| ionwind | i need some help please | 00:01 |
| RocketSnail | okay, so there isn't anything bad/ silly ? | 00:01 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: And it is generally bad idea. | 00:01 |
| WinstonSmith | s0up: do you have ccsm installed? | 00:01 |
| Scunizi | !ask | ionwind | 00:01 |
| ubottu | ionwind: 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. :-) | 00:01 |
| RocketSnail | :P | 00:01 |
| === szal_ is now known as szal | ||
| s0up | yes WinstonSmith | 00:01 |
| qin | RocketSnail: Yes, have Linux on separate partition. | 00:01 |
| ionwind | ok , good evening first | 00:01 |
| WinstonSmith | RocketSnail: no. i have used somthing like that for years | 00:01 |
| jaybee__ | DasEi, the numbers are the numbers like 22 in "Get:22 http://security.ubuntu.com natty-security/universe i386 Packages" ? | 00:01 |
| s0up | if i uncheck window decoration all of my movement lag fixes itself but i lose the window controls | 00:01 |
| sam_bris | OK thanks for trying to help.. Time to re-boot windoze.. | 00:02 |
| DasEi | RocketSnail: dualboot is fine, to be on the safe side, consider partioning in first hand, f.e. from windows | 00:02 |
| ionwind | my problem.... i update 11.04 and the grub is missing | 00:02 |
| WinstonSmith | s0up: did you try turning off plugins in there to see if you system gets more responsive? | 00:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Free disk space, hit me up. thx to ubuntu community for making it possible! | 00:02 |
| ionwind | i can just came in livecd | 00:02 |
| RocketSnail | that's what I meant qin :/ sorry. but thanks to you three :) I mean four :D. and I'll do that Das :) | 00:02 |
| s0up | WinstonSmith: ive tried every setting in window decoration with no luck | 00:02 |
| rinkukokiri | qin,Is this during installation? It means that it will shrink whatever is already installed to make space for Ubuntu and will install it "side by side" on the same physical drive as the existing operating system. | 00:02 |
| rinkukokiri | ie: if you had one hard-drive with one partition on it containing Windows, then that partition would be shrunk down and a second partition created on that drive to put Ubuntu on, thus one drive, two partitions - installed "side by side". | 00:02 |
| rinkukokiri | qin http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152532 | 00:03 |
| qin | s0up: Did you try to enable decoration and add ! in front of (any)? | 00:03 |
| s0up | nope should i try that? | 00:03 |
| ionwind | i need some 1 who make a team to came in terminal. i try but i cant :( | 00:03 |
| DasEi | jaybee__:if you do an update and have no pgp-key for a repo, terminal will respond like .... the following keys are missing AF1CDFA7 | 00:03 |
| s0up | sorry about the dumb questions, i've never had issues like this but i dont think fglrx & 11.0.4 play very nicely yet | 00:03 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: Mate, side by side is bad way of doing things, there is no forum post to chnage it. | 00:03 |
| jaybee__ | ah. ta muchly | 00:03 |
| WinstonSmith | 10.10 here | 00:03 |
| * jaybee__ goes and reads manpages | 00:04 | |
| RocketSnail | rin that's what I made qin think I was doing. qins right, that would be dumb. I have 250g for my Win 7 partit. and I'd probably partit. 50g for my ubuntu partition | 00:04 |
| WinstonSmith | and no plan to update | 00:04 |
| bkerensa | Having trouble removing "firestarter" keeps saying I need to reinstall Tucan... Any help? | 00:04 |
| DasEi | jaybee__: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AF1CDFA9 ,so taking above example to add them | 00:04 |
| Scunizi | rinkukokiri, you need a minimum of 2 partitions for ubuntu standard install.. some will get it to 1 by turning off swap.. | 00:04 |
| rinkukokiri | qin maybe if you read things, you would realize you are the only one that refers to 'side by side' as one partition, two systems | 00:04 |
| ionwind | yes it install already without problem in my netbook but in the pc give me that ,mistake | 00:04 |
| s0up | actually qin window decoration enabled w/ the ! before leaves me with the same issue but the lag stays | 00:04 |
| s0up | but if i actually disable win decoration it goes back to being snappy | 00:05 |
| bkerensa | Having trouble removing "firestarter" keeps saying I need to reinstall Tucan... Any help? | 00:05 |
| RocketSnail | also, when I use my jumpdrive install of ubuntu on school computers, why does it not boot and say "Grub not loading" and/or "Gnome not found" on some of the computers? | 00:05 |
| qin | RocketSnail: 50Gb is more than decent, and Ubuntu can access Windows partition with no problem. Remember of swap, you may need this for hibernation. | 00:05 |
| RocketSnail | okay | 00:05 |
| norstrom | Can anyone tell me why when I do an 'ls' listing of a mounted NFS drive, the user and group names are represented in a numerical form? | 00:05 |

| WinstonSmith | RocketSnail: the ubuntu installer has a nice wizard who will walk you through all this. dont worry :) | 00:06 |
| rinkukokiri | side by side = two os on one drive, separately partitioned | 00:06 |
| perscitus | I had a working Ubuntu 11.04 couple days ago and out of the blue, I get this wonder error from my monitor .... " Out of Range" | 00:06 |
| rinkukokiri | qin, according to ubuntu 9.04 install instructions | 00:06 |
| RocketSnail | okay I pretty much lnow whati will do to install my ubuntu, but I'll tell you all right now: | 00:07 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: ok, will have a look in to installer. | 00:07 |
| rinkukokiri | qin, all you have to do is click the link, it shows the step mentioned. | 00:07 |
| Maletor | Hi qin | 00:08 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: urxvt do not click links, moment | 00:08 |
| Maletor | Hi Maletor | 00:08 |
| rinkukokiri | qin well if you're not going to look at the evidence, please stop arguing an invalid point | 00:08 |
| RocketSnail | I'll turn my win7 part. into 2 parts, one for win7 , one for my ubuntu. it'll be 200g for win7, 50g for ubuntu. also there is like another part. already on my system that has recovery tools on it. | 00:08 |
| RocketSnail | case closed. thanks guys | 00:09 |

' I do believe that 'side by side'= equals one system, to os's | 00:11 |

| dydt | Hi all, I want to make a partition that I place files on to use in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04.2. What type of partition should I make? | 00:19 |
| qin | rinkukokiri: Ok, never used "side by side" option of installer, and was right to do it, however, just assumed what mentioned option would place both systems on same partition, this do not find confirmation in ongoing research, so propably you are right. However I do strongly recommend use "manual" option anyway. | 00:19 |
| SpaceBass | hey folks | 00:19 |
| DasEi | dydt: either ntfs or ext3 | 00:19 |
| trism | zgr: yes | 00:19 |
| rinkukokiri | qin, I usually manually specify too. | 00:19 |

| azripah_ | if it's an intel chip it should support any resolution your monitor is capable of | 00:52 |
| thegoodcushion | How can I tell what graphics hardware is on my machine, and whether there are proprietary drivers available for it? | 00:52 |
| [THC]AcidRain | or components rather | 00:52 |
| azripah_ | drivers are open source | 00:52 |
| dodops | rehman, after: apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:52 |
| edbian | thegoodcushion: sudo lspci -k will show you the hardware | 00:52 |
| edbian | thegoodcushion: It also shows you what drivers are installed and which are being used. Google can tell you what are available | 00:53 |
| ionwind | edbian | 00:53 |
| edbian | ionwind: | 00:53 |
| azripah_ | if it's ATi/AMD or nVidia, proprietary drivers will generally improve things | 00:53 |
| juniorbisono | apt-get dist-update does a full os Upgrade? | 00:53 |
| ionwind | could u help to recover my grup+ | 00:53 |
| azripah_ | I think all intel integrated cards are open source though... right? | 00:53 |
| ionwind | grub | 00:53 |
| sabiancrash_cgx | seems that running dpgk-reconfigure initramfs-tools will temporarily fix it for a reboot | 00:53 |
| KM0201 | juniorbisono: if you've set your repos appropriately | 00:53 |
| DasEi | rehman: the resolution should work, not sure for effects, are you using latest natty and kernel ? (>2.6.38-X) ? gma is said to be supported better in the latest kernels | 00:53 |
| ionwind | i try but i cant | 00:53 |
| azripah_ | ionwind:what's the problem with it? | 00:53 |
| thegoodcushion | edbian, Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller | 00:53 |
| dodops | rehman, try it: sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=30 | 00:54 |
| ionwind | i upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 | 00:54 |
| edbian | thegoodcushion: Ok. I don't know anything about it | 00:54 |
| azripah_ | thegoodcushion:nope, open source drivers are all that's available, offical ones though | 00:54 |

| NiMH | Will Ubuntu run well on a Macbook pro? | 00:54 |
| azripah_ | yes | 00:54 |
| ionwind | all right till i restard | 00:54 |
| thegoodcushion | NiMH, yes | 00:54 |

| KM0201 | NiMH: depends on how new.. a friend of mine put ubuntu on a macbook pro.. had a LOT of problems | 00:54 |
| Jon-- | Is there a way I can set up my laptop to suspend after a certain number of minutes on battery power rather than hibernate? I have issues with hibernation | 00:54 |
| azripah_ | ionwind: 1 hour block? what'd you mean? | 00:55 |
| NiMH | I want one of the new models | 00:55 |
| ionwind | just that.... i wait for more than a hour to restard | 00:55 |
| KM0201 | NiMH: you might have some issues, i believe hers is like one of the newest available (she got it like 4-5mo ago) | 00:55 |
| dodops | rehman, close synaptic or Ubuntu software Center, use "sudo" to run the commands | 00:56 |
| dodops | sudo apt-get update | 00:56 |
| azripah_ | ionwind: do you mean when you reboot, it takes an hour? Do you spend that hour in grub or is ubuntu checking your discs or what? | 00:56 |
| dodops | after | 00:56 |
| ionwind | and at the end i need to reboot.... but no restard just ubuntu..... and nothing else | 00:56 |
| dodops | apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:56 |
| DasEi | perscitus: unetbootin | 00:56 |

| NiMH | yeah I know | 00:57 |
| NiMH | which one should I use? | 00:57 |
| NiMH | i386 | 00:57 |
| ionwind | i restard with lifecd i install teamwier | 00:57 |
| DasEi | perscitus: to create a bootable usb from windows, use unetbootin and an ubuntu-iso | 00:57 |
| gohdan | perscitus: asking the same exact thing does not a clear question make | 00:57 |
| ionwind | so some one can see what append | 00:57 |
| azripah_ | NiMH: If you have an x64 processor, use 64-bit or amd64 whichever it says. and use a flash drive, faster than a CD | 00:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it worked. thx | 00:58 |
| perscitus | gohdan, dummy. | 00:58 |

| IdleOne | perscitus: if you can't follow that basic rule I suggest you find another channel to get help in. | 01:00 |
| dodops | ran the commands? | 01:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | to update is aptitude update package right? | 01:00 |
| KM0201 | NiMH: something you should note... my friend, could not get a USB to boot on her Macbook... she actually had to create a USB, and a CD, in order to use a linux live session. It's documented if you do some searching (again.. very new macbook) | 01:00 |
| rehman | dodops, yes but getting same error, nothing is running as update in my machine, should i restart it | 01:00 |
| ionwind | that way i prefer some one who realy know what are doing make a team and do it propetly | 01:01 |
| dodops | ok, one more time; | 01:01 |
| rehman | DasEi, thanks . how i can run xorg.conf | 01:01 |
| NiMH | will checkout google again. Thanks | 01:01 |
| winut | if you have another pc, you can use ssh or vnc to connect to it | 01:01 |
| dodops | close, synaptic or software center if it's running | 01:02 |

| dodops | sudo apt-get update | 01:02 |
| dodops | rehman, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:03 |
| ionwind | so better lose all information, format all agian | 01:03 |
| ionwind | thanx any where | 01:03 |
| DasEi | rehman: disable compiz, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's empty or not even present in default, you can get a first structure by : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:03 |
| IdleOne | LekeFly: probably better to try asking in ##hardware | 01:03 |
| perscitus | IdleOne, i require that ubuntu work 100% of the time. | 01:03 |
| * gohdan arguing with ops... :P | 01:03 | |

| winut | can you ping it? | 01:08 |
| Lxndr | winut: Windows machine is still connecting. Let me try pinging. | 01:08 |
| brown_fern | CVirus: "sensors" or "sensors -f". | 01:08 |
| Lxndr | winut: And yet pinging from my ubuntu box is failing. Harrumph. | 01:09 |

| winut | or a wonderbra | 01:25 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: i wonder how effective that support is though... | 01:25 |
| IdleOne | KM0201: I know the people on the support team personally IRL and they are very knowledgeable | 01:25 |
| gohdan | KM0201: assume that it is quite well for _corporate_ contracts | 01:26 |
| winut | how does that compare to debian? | 01:26 |
| rsharma | I also want to calrify, the music is under MTP, if i transfer it into MSC how would that work? | 01:26 |
| KM0201 | IdleOne: i have no doubt they are knowledgeable.. or at least I'd hope they are.. :) | 01:27 |
| KM0201 | gohdan: i've never heard of a home user having a support contract, so I'd imagine you are right. | 01:27 |
| IdleOne | gohdan: KM0201 they also do per call support, you don't have to sign anything. | 01:27 |
| brown_fern | rsharma: I'm not sure that MS mode would make it also work with Windows, but I believe that it is highly likely, you would want to consult your online manual for that information. I'd be more worried about loosing data if you switched modes, though. =-O | 01:27 |
| IdleOne | anyway OT...back to support :) | 01:27 |
| robin0800 | IdleOne, if your not a business you don't really need paid support just patience | 01:28 |
| IdleOne | robin0800: agreed | 01:28 |
| gohdan | KM0201: although it appears they do offer such a service option. not sure how that would work out in practice though. | 01:28 |
| rsharma | Oh alright, but other then transfering it to MSC their is no insight in MTP mode at all? Because a person from Best Buy told me personally the Sansa Fuze is best for Linux and it completley supports everything | 01:28 |
| * gohdan home user "ZOMG BLEEPING COMPOOTAR!! LOONIX! HOW DOES IT WORK? | 01:29 | |
| brown_fern | rsharma: I've never used that model of player so the manual, which should state player modes and their support for OSes, overrides anything I'd say. | 01:29 |
| rsharma | Alright, I guess I am up for it. Can I just find out one more last thing - When I also plug in my Blackberry 8350i curve (It contains a MicroSD card) it is not detected. Is their a solution for that as well? | 01:30 |
| gohdan | rsharma: use a card reader | 01:30 |
| brown_fern | rsharma: It may very well fully support Linux, but that, I would guess, would be in mass storage mode. | 01:31 |

| thewanderer1s | hi, fellow Ubuntu users. has anyone managed to run Intel graphics on 2.6.39? | 01:41 |
| BigMac | i just installed ubuntu 11.04, but near the end of the installation i got the message "unable to install bootloader" so i chose to proceed without installing the bootloader, and when the install process was finished, i was prompted to reboot, only to find that i got booted into windows, how do i solve this? | 01:41 |
| nimbiotics | I recently 'upgraded' to 11.04 on my laptop and it totally sucks now. I thought it could be caused by unity so I uninstalled it, but the behavior is the same; puter is v.e.r.y. slow, and many programs are unresponsive or just make the puter to freeze. My question is; if I installed from scratch, would I get better behavior? or is it really worth upgradind or should I just forget about 11.04... | 01:42 |
| nimbiotics | ...and go back to previous version? TIA! | 01:42 |
| FloodBot1 | nimbiotics: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:42 |
| aeon-ltd | nimbiotics: no unless the install seriously messed up, reinstalling the same from scratch will get pretty much the same result | 01:43 |
| FrankDrebin68 | nimbiotics: If you upgraded and it introduced problems, it's possible that a reinstall of the *new* version will fix it. | 01:44 |
| nimbiotics | FrankDrebin68: I did have troubles with samba | 01:46 |
| nimbiotics | FrankDrebin68: but im not even using it, for now | 01:46 |
| FrankDrebin68 | nimbiotics: Installing a lot increases your chance of causing problem. Reinstalling is giving up. If you're motivated enough, I think you could solve the problem. | 01:48 |
| FrankDrebin68 | I know that's not very specific, but sometimes I give up and I just reinstall | 01:48 |
| gohdan | aeon-ltd: thats not necessarily true. sometimes config files from older installatons have a way of not being upgrading and sometimes will bork parts of the system | 01:48 |

| PProvost | Hey folks, got a question | 01:50 |
| PProvost | When I login my Ubuntu tells me "88 packages can be updated, 59 are security updates" | 01:50 |
| PProvost | But when I do apt-get update and upgrade, it tells me 0 and 0 | 01:50 |
| gohdan | FrankDrebin68: a plus side to not giving up is that you learn a lot about the system in the process | 01:50 |
| nimbiotics | FrankDrebin68: is not just a motivation issue; I dont know much (if any) about ubuntu or linux for that matter, but I do have a lot of work donw on my laptop and whole lot more to do; I wish I had time to better understand a lot of how it works, belive me; I just cantt | 01:50 |
| PProvost | Wondering if my package lists are out of date or something? | 01:51 |
| nimbiotics | FrankDrebin68: guess i'll just start with a clean install | 01:51 |
| nimbiotics | whats good backup software for ubuntu? | 01:51 |
| gohdan | nimbiotics: if you have a seperate home folder 'tar' works pretty good. otherwise... | 01:52 |
| FrankDrebin68 | I don't know. I just manually backup to a NAS. | 01:52 |
| gohdan | !backups | nimbiotics | 01:52 |

| thewanderer1s | anyone with working Intel graphics on 2.6.39? | 01:52 |
| lapaga | it does not really matter because both are working fine but any idea why winxp and xubuntu would show different ip's? | 01:53 |
| nimbiotics | gohdan: THX | 01:53 |
| lapaga | that would be my ip | 01:53 |
| nimbiotics | Is it possible to have a printout of the applications in the main panel? | 01:54 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: I don't understand. Are you running a dual boot? | 01:54 |
| gohdan | nimbiotics: i can not vouch for any of the tools listed in that entry though. backing up a compressed tar archive to a separate always worked fine for me | 01:54 |
| cypha | I have a server running at the CL, but I want to return to the CL prompt without exiting the server, how can I do this? | 01:54 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, for now am running xubuntu as wubi | 01:54 |
| nimbiotics | gohdan: thx, will do some research anyways | 01:55 |
| * gohdan /separate/separate partition | 01:56 | |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Forgive me, but when you install with wubi, does it install a dual boot or is it virtualization? | 01:56 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, it is a real install on a virtual disk as far as I know (not positive though) | 01:56 |
| rypervenche | FrankDrebin68: It is virtualized. | 01:57 |
| FrankDrebin68 | rypervenche: Thanks | 01:57 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: I guess without getting too into it, there's a half dozen reasons why the two would have different ips, it's nothing to worry about | 01:58 |
| rypervenche | FrankDrebin68: It will work, but you may run into some problems. It is best to run it as a dual boot. | 01:58 |
| FrankDrebin68 | rypervenche: Okay. I am old-school, getting back into it :) Have to learn some new stuff. | 01:59 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, not worried just curious...my ip comes from my cable company and rarely changes in windows just curious as to why it is not the same in xubuntu...like I said it is not important just curious | 01:59 |
| flametai1 | Thank you brown_fern | 02:00 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Are you getting two different external ip addresses or are you behind a router? | 02:00 |
| cypha | I have a server running in the console, and I don't want to have to start a new console session. How can I get back to the command prompt without stopping the server? | 02:01 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, it is an external ip - I have no router...just a nic to a cable modem and then to the cable company | 02:01 |
| rbCanada | Anyone know how to log chats to a file from ircd? | 02:01 |
| Corey | rbCanada: Which ircd? | 02:02 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: If the two installs use the same nic, I have no idea why you could get a different dhcp lease. | 02:02 |
| thedrewsk | lapaga: is it always the same in windows and always the same in ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| rbCanada | Corey, ircd-hybrid | 02:02 |

| thedoctor | Can someone help me establish a wifi connection on a Lenovo Ideapad S10-2? | 02:03 |
| winut | ctrl alt f1? | 02:03 |
| === root is now known as Guest25368 | ||
| tram | thedoctor, are you sure you have a working wlan? | 02:04 |
| winut | then sudo su and reboot | 02:04 |
| Leif | yes it worked, ty | 02:04 |
| lapaga | thedrewsk, if running from a live cd it always changes in ubuntu and with a wubi install it stays (at least for a couple days) the same but in windows it has been the same for several months | 02:04 |
| winut | cool | 02:04 |
| Leif | I've got an ATI card | 02:05 |
| Leif | maybe that's why it went black | 02:05 |
| Leif | I could see the mouse pointer while in the unity search menu though | 02:05 |
| Leif | (by pressing atl-f2) | 02:05 |
| Leif | it went black after I quit xbmc | 02:05 |
| Leif | can I check some log to find out more? | 02:06 |
| Leif | I mena what log could I check to find out more? :) | 02:06 |
| robin0800 | Leif, don't think you can ctrl+alt+delete lets you reboot but if you enable Ctl+alt+backspace that kills the X server and gets you back to the log in screen | 02:06 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Do you have one NIC or multiple? | 02:06 |
| winut | thx | 02:06 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, just one | 02:06 |
| Leif | roasted winuts tip already worked | 02:06 |
| Leif | oops robin0800 * | 02:07 |
| rbCanada | Any ideas on how to log chats to a file from ircd-hybrid? | 02:07 |
| thedrewsk | lapaga: seems very weird to me. Are the address very close to the same, or are they very different? | 02:07 |
| tram | is it normal to never get a response on channels? | 02:08 |
| lapaga | thedrewsk, one is a 76.171.* and the other is a 76.168.* | 02:08 |
| flametai1 | Is there anyway to add to a partitions size while being mounted? I have G-Parted and a 80GB HDD when I installed Ubuntu 10.10 I split it in half and now I want to add the 40GB's back | 02:08 |
| flametai1 | And I have no Ubuntu Live CD now =| | 02:09 |
| donkeyinspace | hello, im trying ubuntu live from an usb pen. anyone know what to do to get permission to other partitions on the same pen_ | 02:09 |
| thedrewsk | tram: did you ask a question? | 02:09 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Yeah, it's strange. Either the DHCP server is messing with you, or maybe on your old windows install you manually set an ip address and your ubuntu is on automatic. | 02:09 |
| thedrewsk | donkeyinspace: do they show up in gparted? | 02:10 |
| tram | thedrewsk, yeah. it just seems impossible to get ahold of anyone. | 02:10 |
| thedrewsk | tram: what was your question | 02:10 |
| donkeyinspace | thedrewsk, yes | 02:10 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Typically, the dhcp server picks up o your hardware and gives you an IP. With cable, this will typically not change, and if it changes, it will be once and it will be permanent (because the company moved ip blocks or restarted their dhcp server or something) | 02:10 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, yes i agree it is strange...only think in windows is ip assigned by dhcp | 02:11 |
| tram | i just wanted to ask simply if i was in the right channel for my question first of all. | 02:11 |
| thedrewsk | donkeyinspace: are you able to mount the partitions at all? | 02:11 |
| thedrewsk | tram: you should be, this is general support | 02:11 |
| tram | that's why i ended up back here. to make see if there was some reason i never got anyone. | 02:12 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, as far as I know the cable company assigns ip's by the mac address so that makes it even more strange...like I said was just curious | 02:12 |
| donkeyinspace | thedrewsk, yes it is mounted right know | 02:12 |
| FrankDrebin68 | tram: It's poor etiquette to ask to ask a question. Please just ask. | 02:12 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: Right. Based upon your description, I don't know why it would behave that way. | 02:13 |
| brown_fern | BigMac: Did you get any help? I always just install Grub with the OS and have never had to install it on its own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_GRUB#Installation This wiki page talks about the installation of Grub on its own, though, only in brief. | 02:13 |
| thedrewsk | donkeyinspace: are you just trying to get to the permissions list? | 02:13 |
| tram | thedrewsk, is there a channel for noobie/intro device hacking/ | 02:13 |
| tram | FrankDrebin68, thank you and i apologize. | 02:13 |
| thedrewsk | tram: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 02:13 |
| donkeyinspace | thedrewsk, sorry dont know what s the permission list | 02:13 |
| BigMac | brown_fern: no help yet, i was under the impression that grub would install automatically aswell | 02:13 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, if I just use the livecd my ip changes every time I boot so to me at least makes no sense | 02:14 |
| tram | thedrewsk, thanks | 02:14 |
| thedrewsk | donkeyinspace: you asked how to get permission to other partitions on the USB device you're using | 02:14 |
| Bstarek | hello everybody | 02:14 |
| flametai1 | So no one knows? =| | 02:14 |
| donkeyinspace | thedrewsk, yes | 02:14 |

| FrankDrebin68 | tram: No problem. Ubuntu is one of the nicest communities around. Feel free to ask if it's an ubuntu question | 02:15 |
| Leif | arrg I guess I'm too tired | 02:15 |
| FrankDrebin68 | lapaga: How are you viewing your ip address? | 02:15 |
| Leif | :( | 02:15 |
| thedrewsk | flametai1: i don't believe it is possible to combine a partition with a mounted partition | 02:15 |
| rinkukokiri | BigMac, sometimes (like in my case) grub installation defaults to the sd-card and I have to manually choose /sda | 02:15 |
| tram | FrankDrebin68, is it typical for users to so short and rude? lol | 02:16 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, ifconfig | 02:16 |
| donkeyinspace | thedrewsk, has it something to do with the mount po_int | 02:16 |
| Bstarek | i have downloaded a program that used gems version 1.8, but the problem is that i have updated my gems to the last version 1.9.x, is there a way i can use the previous gem version that is 1.8?? | 02:16 |
| brown_fern | BigMac: I don't even remember what the wording of the option to install Grub is, but I would think that it is the default choice. As I'm sure you know, a boot loader of some kind has to be on your system. | 02:16 |
| robin0800 | flametai1, get an ultimate boot cd that has gparted on it but why not just get another live cd? | 02:17 |
| Bstarek | i was talking about ruby gems... | 02:17 |
| Bstarek | anybody knows about this? :) | 02:17 |
| brown_fern | BigMac: No version of Microsoft Windows will see that you've installed Linux along side of it and then provide a menu to aid you in booting into that Linux distro. | 02:17 |
| thedrewsk | donkeyinspace: PM ok? | 02:18 |
| rinkukokiri | Bstarek, you might wanna try #ruby | 02:18 |
| tram | Bstarek, i would say the best way is to uninstall and then reinstall the proper version. | 02:18 |
| Saik | hey guys, got a little issue with wine, but the problem seems ot be centered around xubuntu seeing the file as "dangerous" how do I fix this? | 02:18 |

| Saik | The file '/media/cdrom0/installer.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. | 02:19 |

| Saik | Azelphur, will it work on a CD exe? | 02:20 |
| tyler_d | ooh.... prolly not | 02:20 |
| Azelphur | Saik: maybe, might not do since it's not writable :p | 02:20 |

| Leif | hmm can I get back into x after pressing ctrl-alt-f1? | 02:20 |
| eiriksvin | how do I set my xchat to join a channel and autoop myself? | 02:20 |
| Azelphur | Saik: you can always copy the contents of the CD over and run it off the HD | 02:20 |
| lapaga | FrankDrebin68, well thanks for the time - eventually maybe I can figure out why (not that it matters). | 02:21 |
| Saik | tyler_d, yes but I think it's due to xubuntu not trusting it | 02:21 |
| eiriksvin | theres no aop:( | 02:21 |
| tram | Bstarek, should be something along the lines of 'sudo apt-get uninstall rubygems1.8xxx' | 02:21 |
| tyler_d | Leif: ctrl-alt-f7 I believe is the default run level | 02:21 |
| Saik | Azelphur, not the way this CD is set up | 02:21 |
| wided | cdwsxc | 02:21 |
| tyler_d | Saiyou need to install using the wine util... | 02:21 |

| Saik | Azelphur, chmod: changing permissions of `/media/cdrom0/installer.exe': Read-only file system | 02:21 |
| Saik | <work? | 02:21 |
| Bstarek | tram, alright, ill try that | 02:22 |
| Azelphur | haha, that's not gonna work, yes you need to copy the contents of the CD | 02:22 |
| tyler_d | rinkukokiri: that will not work on the basis that the exe prolly references static locations on teh cd | 02:22 |
| rinkukokiri | tyler_d, he could copy the whole cd off to a folder on his pc then | 02:22 |
| Leif | aaah, so that's how it works | 02:22 |
| Leif | awesome =) | 02:22 |
| Azelphur | Saik: or maybe try wine D:\installer.exe | 02:22 |
| rinkukokiri | saik ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6 | 02:22 |

| tyler_d | sorry, realize I'm late but what are we installing here? | 02:22 |
| Saik | Azelphur, that means I have to do 3 discs of that :( | 02:22 |
| tyler_d | ut? | 02:22 |
| tram | Bstarek, sorry that would ruby1.9xxx since you want 1.8xxx | 02:23 |

| tyler_d | rbCanada: might want to do an lsof on the process and see what its writing to | 02:29 |

| sinistrad | Saik, Yeah, you'll probably need to copy things over or look in forums, as some discs, and Blizzard is notorious for this, in making things weird to install under wine. | 02:31 |
| Saik | RevSpecies116, that's what it's telling me.. | 02:31 |
| Saik | sinistrad, well, there's 3 cds to this game | 02:31 |
| Saik | 4 if you count the expansion | 02:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | CD1 will be the correct starting disc | 02:31 |
| tyler_d | anyone tell my why my sound is so quiet on an ibm thinkpad using 11.04 386 and alsa? | 02:32 |
| sinistrad | Saik, I know. I installed World of Warcraft, And it was a bunch of CDs with the expansions. | 02:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | what is in the installer directory? | 02:32 |
| Saik | RevSpecies116, that's what's in the drive | 02:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | can you ls that? | 02:32 |
| nimbiotics | Is tehre a way to obtain a list of all insttalled applications? | 02:32 |
| rinkukokiri | Saik, you might wanna check out http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=74 as well | 02:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | ls /media/cdrom0/installer | 02:33 |
| tyler_d | nimbiotics: from a terminal use aptitude | 02:33 |
| Saik | xxxguardianangelxxx@xxxguardianangelxxx-desktop:/media/cdrom0$ ls /media/cdrom0/installer | 02:33 |

| RevSpecies116 | Definitly beyond this channel, then, sorry Saik | 02:34 |
| rinkukokiri | saik check out that appdb page, it *should* have help on how to install/run on your system | 02:35 |

| nimbiotics | 'd really like to get is a printout of whatever is under 'Applications' in the main panel. is that possible? TIA! | 02:36 |
| Saik | rinkukokiri, it's these new damn discs.. the old one works fine :@ | 02:36 |
| tyler_d | alsa soundcards any takers to help out? | 02:36 |
| rinkukokiri | lol.. then **disregard this line if you support DRM** copy those disks off to your hdd and the problem *should* be fixed | 02:37 |
| sinistrad | Saik, also check out your winecfg to make sure your drives are referenced properly. It looks odd with the L"E:\\installer.exe". It could also be Blizzard referencing the drive oddly from within the exe, throwing a kink in there. Copying the discs off to a directory should work. That's what I had to do for WoW. | 02:39 |
| rinkukokiri | sinistrad, i think that's just an output error, as I searched that on google and returned results that were corrected without addressing the L"E: issue | 02:40 |
| sinistrad | rinkukokiri, cool | 02:41 |
| Saik | sinistrad, I know the old discs work, perhaps I'll just grb the old ones and use the new key | 02:42 |
| sinistrad | Saik, Whatever works =) | 02:42 |
| jon8 | how can i do a directory listing, from command line, and only display files/directories that are owned by a specific user or group.. | 02:43 |

| Chris | Could someone point me to something explaining using nvidia's drivers on 11.04? I've referred to http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia but they seem to refer to 10.10 and earlier and I cannot get it to work on 11.04 (failure to load nvidia kernel module) uname -r is 2.6.38-8-generic-pae | 02:50 |
| qin | jon8: with ls, you need awk (or sed) to make it work. | 02:51 |
| DBoot | Alright, so I currently have 4 different partitions on my HDD. One is a system partition, one is an unallocated partition with 450gb, one is a recovery partition, and one is a HP_tool partition | 02:51 |
| jon8 | nah.. ill use find :) | 02:51 |
| Saik | sinistrad, I noticed something. the file is "installer tome.mpq" | 02:51 |
| jon8 | much better that way | 02:51 |
| Saik | it has a space in it. and we all know how linux likes spaces.. | 02:51 |
| rinkukokiri | Chris, exactly what problem are you having using nvidia's drivers? | 02:51 |
| tram | Chris, i have the same prob with etiquette | 02:51 |
| rinkukokiri | Chris, srry didn't read whole problem before i started typin :d | 02:52 |

| DBoot | I am able to split the 450gb partition into three unformatted partitions, but when I try and put and format the storage partition to NTFS it says you may only have 4 primary partitions on your hdd. So now I am stuck | 02:53 |

| eekTheCat | tram, every few days at best. no it's not good right now. repeatedly running the command keeps resulting in what seems to be the same output | 02:54 |
| rinkukokiri | Saik, the problem is it's not marked as executable... you need to chmod +x installer.exe | 02:54 |
| rinkukokiri | saik that's why it needs to be on a writeable medium | 02:54 |
| Saik | rinkukokiri, any way to psudo do that? | 02:54 |
| sinistrad | Saik, interesting, maybe the executable bit isn't set when you try to launch from gui, but then again it shouldn't launch an exe from the gui without already knowing that wine is handling those files. | 02:54 |
| rinkukokiri | Saik, not on a dvd/cd rom | 02:54 |

| brown_fern | DBoot: I always install Microsoft Windows 7 first, before any other operating system gets installed. Windows 7 is more particular about where it can be in a partitioning scheme and duel-booters need the boot loader of a Linux OS to provide a boot menu that will list all OSes on the system at launch. | 03:02 |

| KM0201 | [THC]AcidRain: http://medibuntu.org/repository.php at the very top... follow the instructions to add the repository, and the GPG key (just copy paste all that ina terminal).. then run sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 03:15 |
| Roasted | rww, well, I'm beginning to like gnome shell a ltitle more, but I'm skeptical on its dual screen support just yet. I want to try it out but I want to make sure I can bounce back if need be. | 03:15 |

| leandro220-x | Not really, just greeting it has bee a while since i had problems | 03:15 |
| KM0201 | [THC]AcidRain: ah... | 03:15 |
| Roasted | rww, I found directions on purging the PPA and getting back to normal, but I just wanted to make sure that's what would happen | 03:15 |

| rinkukokiri | unless we are still on iggy | 03:20 |
| tram | any reason the 'grep' command will never finish running? | 03:20 |
| rww | tram: because you missed an argument and it's waiting for input, probably | 03:20 |
| qin | perscitus: Remove it, jockey-text will help. | 03:20 |

| etfb | tram: recursive symlinks? | 03:20 |

| sinistrad | [THC]AcidRain, you might try starting the media player from a console so you can see more info on what is creating playback problems. | 03:20 |
| rinkukokiri | !tty | perscitus, have you tried switching to tty1 to see if you can reconfigure x from there? | 03:21 |
| ubottu | perscitus, have you tried switching to tty1 to see if you can reconfigure x from there?: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 03:21 |
| qin | perscitus: oss? You have problem with sound too? | 03:21 |
| tram | etfb, what does that mean? | 03:21 |
| perscitus | qin no. Open Source Software | 03:22 |
| tram | rww, it takes a file name, right? | 03:22 |
| rww | tram: and something to search for, yes | 03:22 |
| qin | perscitus: At this point, fgrlx seems to deliver troubles. | 03:23 |
| rww | grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...] | 03:23 |
| etfb | tram: rww's suggestion is more likely correct. If you type <grep "hello">, the grep program assumes you are searching the next thing you type. If you type <grep "hello" *> it assumes you are searching the files in the current directory. Did you do that? | 03:23 |
| etfb | tram: But if you typed the right thing and it is indeed searching files and not input, then you might have a symlink problem, which I can explain if needed. | 03:24 |
| tram | etfb, rww, ah ha! that makes sense | 03:24 |
| Dark_Angel | hi | 03:24 |
| tram | etfb, let me see if i can get it to work right quick. | 03:24 |

| Flannel | YankDownUnder: That's not really the best way to go about it | 03:33 |
| bonhoffer | hopefully that is what the previous user used | 03:33 |
| YankDownUnder | bonhoffer, Sorry, it's "sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/apache2 | 03:33 |

| melrokz | !moonlight | 03:37 |

| qin | bonhoffer: /etc/ini.d/apache2 | 03:38 |
| bonhoffer | qin, i am suspecting an init script | 03:38 |
| qin | bonhoffer: /etc/init.d/apache2 | 03:38 |
| bonhoffer | just rm -rf it from there? | 03:38 |
| bonhoffer | it is in there | 03:38 |
| Flannel | bonhoffer: No. | 03:39 |

| bobcatgoldwin | so does someone know of a way to make make compile with debug symbols without manually editing the make file? | 03:40 |
| crohakon | YankDownUnder, and how can I be sure which drive is the new drive? Should I assume sdc or is there a way to check? I've done this without gui | 03:40 |
| bonhoffer | qin: so i should leave apache2 in the /etc/init.d/ just chmod it? | 03:40 |
| rinkukokiri | crohakon, sudo fdisk -l (that's a lowercase L) | 03:40 |

| nate | if it's in the GUI.. shouldn't it work | 03:41 |
| rinkukokiri | crohakon, man fdisk may be something you might wanna read (q to exit) | 03:42 |
| Flannel | qin: Because that prohibits you from EVER starting apache the proper way. He just wants to stop it from starting automatically on boot. | 03:42 |

But first I would like to back up the MBR information so that if I mess up, I will still be able to boot up in Windows. What is the best way to go about that? dd ? Thank you.. | 04:46 |

| KM0201 | StepNjump: did you set up a dual boot system, or did you use wubi? | 04:47 |
| nit-wit | StepNjump, backing up the mbr is not needed. | 04:47 |

| StepNjump | KM0201 what is wubi? It was just the ubuntu installer that prepared my new partition and all.... | 04:48 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: did you "boot" the CD, or did you pop it in, and install inside windows? | 04:48 |
| Itqan | hey what does this do/mean: | 04:48 |
| Itqan | sudo ln -s /usr/local/python2.5/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.5 | 04:48 |
| Afteraffekt | how do i pull up the last kmesg? | 04:48 |
| StepNjump | ni-wit, I know I can always do a fixmbr but... | 04:48 |
| maccam941 | StepNjump: wubi is run from within windows, and installs ubuntu into a file on the windows partition | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | wubi | 04:48 |
| Guest1 | itqan it makes a shortcut | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | ;) | 04:48 |
| * KM0201 wishes wubi was removed from the planet | 04:49 | |
| tapple | ubuntu software center is saying "check your connection to the internet", but apt-get is working fine. I disabled NetworkManager because it wasn't respecting my config in /etc/network/interfaces, and now ubuntu software center doesn't work | 04:49 |
| qin | Itqan: And blender you installing from source or repos? | 04:49 |
| Guest1 | wubi is not that bad because you don't have to partition the HD | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: ?.. how did you install ubuntu?.. did you boot the CD, or did you install inside windows. | 04:49 |
| KM0201 | Guest1: yes, wubi is that bad... | 04:49 |
| StepNjump | mmmm that's a good question. I think I just put the usb stick in there and installed by booting right into the installer from Ubuntu.. I don't fully remember KM0201 but I know I partitioned in EXT4 | 04:49 |
| phong_ | hi guys, hwo can i list usb files with command? | 04:50 |
| phong_ | i have plugged usb memory , how can i view it with command terminal screen | 04:50 |
| phong_ | anyone? | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: are you under windows or Ubuntu right now? | 04:50 |
| Itqan | i downloaded .deb file from my father office coz my nets too crappy o download that | 04:50 |
| maccam941 | phong_: your usb device should show up in the computer window | 04:50 |
| Guest1 | KM0201: yeah I agree that it sucks, but for a novice user its not that bad | 04:50 |
| KM0201 | phong_: lsusb should show usb devices | 04:50 |
| Itqan | maccam941 i have done all the things written theree except to add that shortcut but why does it appear in installed programs? | 04:50 |
| tapple | phong_: it's in /media, assuming it automounted correctly | 04:51 |
| Itqan | i can use it from terminal though | 04:51 |
| qin | phong_: df -h (to see if usb is mounted) | 04:51 |
| maccam941 | Itqan: you can use synaptic to generate a list of files to download elsewhere | 04:51 |
| brown_fern | StepNjump: I'm trying to understand, did you install Ubuntu on the same computer that Windows 7 was on? | 04:51 |
| StepNjump | mmm I could be in ubuntu but my X is down because I lost my ice configuration or something like that.. my upgrade didn't go well.. I have access to the shell though by pressing ctrl alt F2 | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | Guest1: the problem is, when wubi breaks, it has a tendency to break both OS's.. where w/ a traditional dual boot system, you will usually be able to boot at least 1 system. | 04:51 |
| nit-wit | StepNjump, when you power on the computer do you get the grub bootloader or the windows menu? | 04:51 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: that was a beautiful answer, that iddn't answer anything i asked.. are you in windows, or ubuntu right now | 04:51 |
| Guest1 | agreed | 04:51 |
| phong_ | maccam941, i dont want to use window click | 04:52 |
| phong_ | i want to learn in the command way of listing | 04:52 |
| KM0201 | phong_: lsusb | 04:52 |
| KM0201 | that'll list all usb devices | 04:52 |
| uglyoldbob | does git-daemon still work for ubuntu 10.04? im having difficulties | 04:52 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i did it and what? | 04:52 |
| Guest1 | ....so question... why doesn't my grub always load up? sometimes it loads fine, sometimes it doesn't load... I can't even get to the grub menu selection | 04:52 |
| StepNjump | brown_fern, yes, it's a netbook so I don't have an optical drive.. Yes it came with Win7 (I only use it for a specific application) and yes then I installed ubuntu on the Win7 computer that I had bought at Costco. It worked well until I tried to upgrade to 11.04 at the terminal level... | 04:52 |
| KM0201 | phong_: do you see your devices? | 04:53 |
| StepNjump | nit-wit: bootloader | 04:53 |
| maccam941 | phong_: what's your native language? there may be another channel that can help you more effectively? | 04:53 |
| StepNjump | KM0201.. I can be wherever you want me to be | 04:53 |
| StepNjump | just tell me | 04:53 |
| cjae | anyone know how to make firefox have a very light grey background instead of white (too bright) without losing how the webpage is supposed to look | 04:53 |
| Itqan | maccam941 i did that only got blender form my fathers pc | 04:53 |
| nit-wit | StepNjump, menu where you choose ubuntu or windows is it grub or a windows menu? | 04:53 |
| Itqan | my problem isnt with blender | 04:53 |
| StepNjump | nit-wit grub | 04:53 |
| phong_ | well KM0201 how can i got to /media | 04:54 |
| qin | phong_: cd /media | 04:54 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: well, first, i'd verify whether you used wubi or not.. boot windows, look in add/remove programs, and see if you see "Windows Ubuntu Installer" or "WUBI" or something to that effect | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | phong_: sorry, i'm not really able to understand your question. | 04:55 |
| rinkukokiri | hopefully I don't break my junk | 04:55 |
| tapple | StepNjump: you can make a rescue disk on a usb disk at http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 04:55 |
| Itqan | IDK why dependency isnt satisfied even after installing python | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | ok KM0201, I will check | 04:55 |
| phong_ | KM0201, i got it.. i can see it with browsing thru /media ;) | 04:55 |
| phong_ | KM0201, thanks | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: now.. assuming you DID use wubi... uninstall wubi, before doing anything else. | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | phong_: ok. | 04:55 |
| maccam941 | Itqan: if you got all of the packages you needed to from synaptic, you shouldn't need to install anything from source | 04:55 |
| nit-wit | KM0201, I agree it took so long to get to the bootloader I don't trust the answer.;) | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | why didn't you say you anted to know where it was mounted | 04:55 |
| StepNjump | ok thanks tapple | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | nit-wit: :) | 04:55 |
| phong_ | KM0201, 1 last thing, how can i do copy file to my home desktop | 04:55 |
| Itqan | k | 04:55 |
| phong_ | let say i 'm in the current direct: i want to copy a file to my home deaktop | 04:55 |
| Itqan | ty | 04:55 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: now, if you DID NOT use wubi.. and in fact have a normal dual boot system.... then there's no need to back up your MBR, because when you reinstall, the MBR is gonna be rewritten | 04:55 |
| Itqan | bye | 04:55 |
| qin | phong_: cp /media/disk/file ~/Desktop | 04:55 |
| phong_ | cp myfile ~/Desktop ? | 04:55 |
| phong_ | oh okay thanks | 04:56 |
| phong_ | got it | 04:56 |
| maccam941 | anyone know what could cause the system v runlevel compatbility init script to fail? i just had a friend run nvidia-xconfig and add the nvidia module to /etc/modules, and upon reboot her system failed to start | 04:56 |
| KM0201 | phong_: i think i have a PDF that has a bazillion terminal commands in it.. might be handy for you... there's also several "wallpapers" out there that have them. | 04:56 |
| StepNjump | oh it says GNU GRUB version 1.99-4ubuntu2 | 04:57 |
| qin | KM0201: "apt-get install sl" seems to be awesome advice. | 04:57 |
| === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel | ||

| rinkukokiri | 'additional drivers' says enabled but not in use | 04:59 |
| KM0201 | qin: i've never use sl used ls many times | 04:59 |
| qin | KM0201: Thats must have stuff! | 04:59 |
| lapaga | although wubi is not a end all to be all...it does serve its purpose...i would like to run ubuntu..(actually Xubuntu) and without wubi I would not be able without just a live cd. Unless everyone is willing to have me set up a paypal for donations this is the way things will be. although wubi might break things it will allow one to experience U,K,X,umbuntu | 04:59 |
| StepNjump | KM0201 good point but all I'm trying to do is get some kind of bckup so that if something goes wrong with the new install, the MBR will remember where Windows is located so I can salvage my computer | 04:59 |

| elTigre | I had my PC on standby for the night, now it won't wake up | 05:00 |
| elTigre | "usb device over current status detected" | 05:00 |
| qin | StepNjump: Windows installator have tool to recover MBR, less dangerous than your method. | 05:00 |
| elTigre | google helped a little, but no useful advice | 05:00 |
| StepNjump | KM0201 no.. no WUBI or anything like that in my uninstall window | 05:00 |

| qin | *recovery | 05:01 |
| elTigre | and it worked about 6 hours ago.... | 05:01 |
| KM0201 | StepNjump: ok... so honestly, why do you want to back up your MBR? when all it does is point at a bricked ubuntu install?... reinstall Ubuntu (properly) and grub will be properly rewritten and allow you to boot both OSs | 05:01 |
| elTigre | shouldn't be bios, since it worked before | 05:01 |
| Saik | sinistrad, d2x keeps aborting :@ | 05:01 |

| sinistrad | Saik, DirectX issues? | 05:02 |
| StepNjump | qin, yes that is true but since this is a netbook, I cannot create a recovery CD or DVD because it's too stupid to offer me to create an ISO file. and I dont feel like buying magiciso either | 05:02 |

| LinLex | Hey, I was wanting to find the documentation channel? | 05:02 |

| rinkukokiri | they are stuck at 'enabled, not in use' | 05:50 |

| rinkukokiri | so, they come out with a new release. everything breaks, and they call it a success. | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, check your Xorg logs or "lspci -vnvn" find the VGA section and 'kernel driver in use' -- i think it's a reporting bug of the driver tool, the driver is probably in use actually. | 05:52 |
| rage | The `free` command shows used -/+ buffers/cache. From memory the bot in here has a really nice explanation of what that all means. Could someone provide me with the link? | 05:52 |
| rage | or invoke the bot to provide me with the link? :-) | 05:52 |
| lapaga | seems that the but is showing not in use but is actually | 05:52 |
| rinkukokiri | !memory | 05:53 |
| ubottu | If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 05:53 |
| rage | rinkukokiri: Thanks, thats exactly the article I was looking for | 05:53 |
| rinkukokiri | ZykoticK9, lapaga here's all my relevant info i knew to post ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/47378/nvidia-current-drivers-enabled-not-in-use-help | 05:56 |
| rinkukokiri | those infobytes tell me kernel driver is nvidia, but jockey says it's not in use | 05:56 |
| rinkukokiri | so it's a bug with jockey? | 05:56 |
| rinkukokiri | should i file a bug with jockey then? | 05:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, do you have 3d acceleration working? it is showing kernel as both nvidia-current and nouveau (open source, probably non 3d) | 05:59 |
| rinkukokiri | funny, because i thought i specifically went into synaptic and uninstalled nouveau... i can run glgears | 06:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, do you get reasonable frame rate? even better, can you run Unity or Compiz? | 06:00 |

| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| uglyoldbob | anybody know how i can "fix" git-daemon so it will look at the correct base folder (instead of /var/cache?) | 06:01 |
| rinkukokiri | i can run unity, yea | 06:01 |
| rinkukokiri | how do i blacklist nouveau? | 06:01 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest39678 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | !blacklist | 06:01 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 06:01 |
| sontek | Ubuntu 11.04 offered to install a binary ati driver after install, it totally fucked my system, is there a way to revert back to the old one? | 06:05 |
| rinkukokiri | still nothing | 06:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, i think if you can run Unity that your Nvidia driver is being used - it's just Jockey that's misreporting. Several people have visited this channel with the same issue. | 06:07 |
| sontek | I don't know what driver it was using before, its using radeon right now | 06:11 |

| jtannenbaum | I tried to install Ubuntu on a 40gb interal HDD in my PC.. I succeeded, but now my PC can't boot without the HDD in | 06:14 |
| === spass_ is now known as spass | ||
| fizyplankton | jtannenbaum: it sounds like a bios issue. | 06:14 |
| jtannenbaum | a grub issue I think | 06:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | jtannenbaum, i'd say grub issue as well | 06:15 |
| fizyplankton | jtannenbaum: no. if the hdd is removed, grub is out of the picture | 06:15 |
| lapaga | well have a good night (day all) | 06:15 |
| jtannenbaum | since I get the grub rescue> thing | 06:15 |
| Raikia | I'm pretty sure my Ubuntu corrupts itself. I leave my computer on for weeks at a time, but when I reboot (even after a completely clean install), it fails to boot occasionally (or the mouse/keyboard doesn't work, or my USB controllers fail) | 06:15 |
| jtannenbaum | I have a larger HDD I usually use | 06:15 |
| fizyplankton | jtannenbaum: if you get grub without the ubuntu hdd in, idk what you did. that means l=you have like a ventriliquist hdd, or at the very least a wireless hdd | 06:15 |
| Raikia | Occasionally it boots 100% (complete OS loaded into RAM) and runs fine until it gets rebooted again (obviously: pulling from harddrive to RAM) | 06:16 |
| jtannenbaum | when I have both in, I can use grub to choose between the two | 06:16 |
| jtannenbaum | I have two ubuntu HDDs, I should have said that | 06:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | jtannenbaum, most likely grub in installed on your main HD, but the grub files are on you 40GB... thus the problem if that drive isn't plugged in... | 06:16 |
| honey | i canot install software in my ubuntu10.10? | 06:16 |
| cillin | got a corrupt pkg database saying: Reading package lists... Error! | 06:16 |

| nit-wit | jtannenbaum, you over wrote the bigger hd's mbr with grub. What are the installs on the g=bigger non ubuntu HD? | 06:16 |
| Axalon | What do you mean by that, Honey? You're having problems installing software? | 06:17 |
| honey | Axalon:yeah | 06:17 |
| cillin | how to repair? | 06:17 |
| crass_ | Hey so.. I've got a question for any emulator freaks that might be present: What's your favorite NES emulator? | 06:17 |
| fizyplankton | cillin: two things: pastebin, and try going to update manager and doing a full update. also, sounds stupid, but make sure firefox can connect to the inet | 06:18 |
| jtannenbaum | both are Ubuntu. I started with a 500gb HDD with ubuntu; I plugged a 40gb in and booted to a 10.10 CD and installed Ubuntun on the 40gb with the (now naive-seeming) intent of taking it out and putting it in another computer which wouldn't boot or recognize CD drives | 06:18 |
| jtannenbaum | Ubuntu* | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | crass_, mednafen is decent and in the default repo | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | crass_, it's cli based though - that doesn't work for many people... | 06:19 |
| fizyplankton | ZykoticK9: you kidding me??? CLI FTW!!!!!!1 im even in a cli irc client right now | 06:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | fizyplankton, it's a plus for me too... others, not so much ;) | 06:20 |
| Jon-- | How do I set up Ubuntu to suspend after a certain amount of time, rather than hibernate? I have issues with hibernation on my laptop. | 06:20 |
| nit-wit | jtannenbaum, so could you be real specific here....what are the exact distro's installed and do you know if you were using grub-legacy or grub2, on that bigger HD. | 06:20 |
| rinkukokiri | well, listed my bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/793855 | 06:21 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 793855 in jockey (Ubuntu) "jockey-gtk displays nvidia drivers as 'enabled, not in use'" [Undecided,New] | 06:21 |
| jtannenbaum | The 500gb, which I am currently booted to, is actually 10.4; and I'm not sure which I was using but grub2 rings more of a bell. If there is a way to check I can do that | 06:22 |
| Loshki | jtannenbaum: what you did is entirely reasonable. Your only mistake was in failing to unplug the 500gb disk when you did the install... | 06:22 |
| jtannenbaum | 10.04 or whatever | 06:22 |
| nit-wit | jtannenbaum, so you booted to the hd by having the smaller plugged in correct. | 06:22 |
| rinkukokiri | !grub2 | jtannenbaum | 06:23 |
| ubottu | jtannenbaum: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 06:23 |
| jtannenbaum | yes | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, i think this is the bug you should have marked yourself as being "affected by" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/+bug/771788 | 06:23 |
| kennett | I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop the other day and I have no sound. | 06:23 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 771788 in jockey (Ubuntu) "nVidia driver activated and apparently being used but reported as not being used by jockey-gtk" [Medium,In progress] | 06:23 |
| rinkukokiri | looks like you got grub 2 | 06:23 |
| jtannenbaum | when the 40gb is unplugged, it says "can't find device [buncha letters]-[buncha numbers]-etc" and gives me the grub rescue> terminal | 06:24 |
| nit-wit | jtannenbaum, open a terminal and run sudo grub-install /dev/sda make sure that the 500 gig is reading as sda, then the secound command is sudo update-grub. | 06:24 |
| rinkukokiri | ZykoticK9, well, looks like they'll have to mark a dupe and geton it | 06:24 |
| nit-wit | 8second | 06:24 |
| jtannenbaum | both commands worked fine; thank you | 06:25 |
| nit-wit | jtannenbaum, reboot you should be set. | 06:25 |
| rinkukokiri | unless there's a way I can mark mine as a dupe | 06:25 |
| jtannenbaum | woo | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | rinkukokiri, you could actually | 06:25 |
| crass_ | ZykoticK9: I'm all about the CLI.. I'll give it a shot. Do you know it mednafen runs ok on antique boxes? | 06:25 |
| crass_ | if* | 06:25 |
| rinkukokiri | ZykoticK9, done. | 06:26 |
| jtannenbaum | I really should learn what I'm doing with grub and bios.. there probably ins't a uni course for that stuff | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | crass_, i doubt it's requirements are very high - it emulates several systems as a bonus | 06:26 |
| kennett | Can some1 help me fix the no sound problem on my laptop? | 06:28 |
| linux_hacks | kennett: What's the error? | 06:28 |
| bullgard4 | !sound | kennett | 06:28 |

| gskellig | can someone help me fix unity? When I started it said it wasn't supported, but it was before. gfx card is also listed under unity's supported graphics cards. | 06:29 |
| rinkukokiri | gskellig, what's your video card? | 06:30 |
| gskellig | intel x4500GMA | 06:31 |
| gskellig | I had actually fixed this problem before, but it created a lot of other, much worse problems, so I just tried reinstalling ubuntu | 06:31 |
| gskellig | since ONCE before, installing 11.04 led to unity working fine | 06:31 |
| rinkukokiri | sounds like my install | 06:31 |
| rinkukokiri | lol | 06:31 |
| gskellig | thought maybe i'd get lucky again =/ | 06:32 |
| gskellig | what laptop? | 06:32 |
| rinkukokiri | asus | 06:32 |
| MK`` | When I updated to 11.04 it changed the way notifications appear in the upper right... how can I revert it to the old behavior? | 06:32 |
| gskellig | asus...? | 06:32 |
| brown_fern | jtannenbaum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_loader#Second-stage_boot_loader might make good reading. | 06:32 |
| gskellig | let me guess, asus UL series | 06:32 |
| rinkukokiri | gskellig, i got an nvidia card but the problem here is with jockey | 06:32 |
| rinkukokiri | nope m70 | 06:33 |
| yagoo | !rescue | 06:33 |
| jtannenbaum | danke | 06:33 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 06:33 |
| gskellig | ah | 06:33 |
| gskellig | I have an nvidia card also | 06:33 |
| gskellig | hybrid graphics. =/ | 06:33 |
| gskellig | jockey? | 06:33 |
| rinkukokiri | arrrrgh | 06:33 |
| crass_ | ZykoticK9: Can you remap the keys with mednafen? | 06:33 |
| rinkukokiri | yeah, it's reporting my drivers as enabled, not in use.. but i can use gl soooo... i dunno | 06:33 |
| sontek | Is there a way to reset ubuntu to a specific state? I upgrade and installed new packages and now I no longer have the graphic effects, its like old classic gnome | 06:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | crass_, ya - it's something weird like ALT+1 or ALT+F1... | 06:34 |
| sontek | but glxgears launches just fine | 06:34 |
| gskellig | sounds like at least you know what you're doing rinkukokiri, I'm completely lost | 06:34 |
| crass_ | ZykoticK9: it's probably on the man page huh | 06:34 |
| sontek | I get 60fps in glxgears | 06:34 |
| gskellig | unity worked the first time I installed ubuntu, I reinstalled and it didnt work anymore. Spent hours fixing it, and did but ended up breaking 8 things in the process | 06:34 |
| gskellig | so i started over again at square one. | 06:34 |
| sontek | its using the 'radeon' driver | 06:35 |
| crass_ | oh, shart. it's totally not. | 06:35 |
| rinkukokiri | gskellig, the reason i said it sounded like my install:: i have dual monitor setup, for the last two days i haven't been able to open a second notification area or window list so i can manage windows on the second monitor... all until today when it just freaking worked. | 06:35 |
| honey | how can i enable my dpkg it is disable how can i enable? | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | crass_, or the web site? try "h" for help maybe? sorry I don't have any games/emus installed anymore -- no 3d graphics :( | 06:35 |
| gskellig | oh nvm =( | 06:36 |
| gskellig | yeah i was having issues with dual monitors on my asus as well, before i had all these problems | 06:36 |
| gskellig | window was just black and nothing would show up except the mouse and the menu bars | 06:36 |
| gskellig | if i dragged a window over, it would disappear and I would just see the mouse moving around | 06:36 |
| Dummy | hi, got some real newbie questions about ubuntu server | 06:36 |
| rinkukokiri | I had to also make a shortcut on the panel to do a compiz --reload on the second monitor so i can have titlebars on my windows. | 06:37 |
| crass_ | ZykoticK9: I dig. it's got a local help page installed, so i'll check that. remarkably, the page looks like the help file from fceu. i wonder if it's a fork? | 06:37 |
| rinkukokiri | gskellig, that's probably because you have/had two different x servers | 06:37 |
| rinkukokiri | that's my setup currently | 06:37 |
| crass_ | Dummy: Well, there's plenty of people here to help. Shoot. | 06:37 |
| gskellig | yeah i have a bunch of gfx issues | 06:38 |
| Dummy | right, I've only ever used Dos and Windows in my life. So I've installed ubuntu server and during the install added samba | 06:39 |
| gskellig | would really like to get this sorted out | 06:39 |
| rinkukokiri | i think there are a lot of ppl here with graphics issues.. | 06:39 |
| rinkukokiri | it's sad | 06:39 |
| gskellig | lol | 06:39 |
| Dummy | first thing, when I do "ls" or "dir" at the prompt nothing shows up. so the system is empty? | 06:39 |
| Tadpole_Jackson | will 11 run on half a gig of ram? | 06:39 |
| Tadpole_Jackson | or should i be looking for something else? | 06:39 |
| rinkukokiri | Dummy, try a ls -al | 06:39 |
| rinkukokiri | or a pwd | 06:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dummy, "dir" is an alias (not a real command), ls is the real command to "list" directory contents | 06:40 |
| MrCartel | Anyone know how to have separate openbox configs? | 06:40 |
| Dummy | I see | 06:40 |
| rinkukokiri | Dummy, pwd will show your Present Working Directory | 06:41 |
| crass_ | Dummy: ls -la means 'ls, with long-format, showing all files.' | 06:41 |
| rinkukokiri | so you have reference | 06:41 |
| Tadpole_Jackson | so, will 11.04 run on a 2ghz p4 + 512DDR or am i SOL? | 06:41 |
| Dummy | another thing, since I really struggle with the terminal, how the heck do I get a GUI running? | 06:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dummy, by default your home folder (especially on server) would probably have no files/folders, except hidden - thus "ls -a" should show stuff. | 06:41 |
| Dummy | thanks for all the advice guys | 06:41 |

| * chickadee flutters onto a branch and sits for a bit to observe the ebb & flow of the channel | 06:42 | |
| ZykoticK9 | Dummy, if you want a GUI - install desktop instead of server... really the best answer. | 06:42 |
| crass_ | Tadpole_Jackson: I'm running xubuntu 11.04 on an old POS antique school computer that I bought off of a junkie for $25. It'll work, trust me. | 06:42 |
| JinKazama | while in the same time, my iPhone works perfect on both connections | 06:42 |
| rinkukokiri | Dummy, to get a gui, you would probably want to download ubuntu-desktop and install that | 06:42 |
| JinKazama | and also my embathy doesn't connect | 06:42 |
| rinkukokiri | whoops, looks like some1 beat me to it | 06:42 |
| Dummy | can desktop act as a file server? | 06:42 |
| JinKazama | do anyone knows what's goin' on with my Ubuntu or what do I have to do to fix this? | 06:42 |
| gskellig | can someone help me fix unity? When I started it said it wasn't supported, but it was before. gfx card is also listed under unity's supported graphics cards. | 06:42 |
| Apple_Cat | This is really cool, the notification script sends any hilights to libnotify and then a cool little notification pops up | 06:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dummy, desktop can do anything server can do | 06:42 |
| rinkukokiri | Dummy, sure, it'll just have a bit more overhead with the gui an all but you prolly won't notice it | 06:43 |
| JinKazama | anyone here? | 06:43 |
| Dummy | perhaps that's my best option then, the terminal is a pretty steep learning curve | 06:43 |
| Dummy | thanks for all the info guys | 06:43 |
| rinkukokiri | yeap | 06:43 |
| crass_ | Dummy: What kind of file server are you trying to run? You should probably install Vanilla Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Kubuntu instead. | 06:43 |

| brown_fern | crass: If I were honest, I'd have to admit that I don't spend as much time in any shell/terminal as I should, be that bash or otherwise. :) | 06:47 |
| yfk | rinkukokiri, how the hell would I know that?! thanks | 06:47 |
| crass_ | tlhonmey: Bad CD drive? | 06:47 |
| rinkukokiri | yfk, dunno.. :D | 06:48 |
| crass_ | brown_fern: I used to be able to work wonders with zsh, but now i've gotten lazy. I feel where you're coming from, there. | 06:48 |
| tlhonmey | crass_: It's brand new. And the 32 bit installer boots, but then can't mount the CD. | 06:48 |
| rinkukokiri | yfk, it'll be just a bit unnerving when you realize the entirety of the document is stored as XML data | 06:48 |

| JinKazama | do anyone knows what's goin' on with my Ubuntu or what do I have to do to fix this? | 06:49 |
| crass_ | tlhonmey: or maybe try an older version. | 06:49 |
| brown_fern | crass: I could never work wonders, but I was once a lot better with commands than I am now, it's sad really. | 06:50 |

| mykal | kennett, yeah, that is a problem i have had as well. headphone jack on the front right. never got that one fixed sorry. i usually just plug them into the back or the headphone jack on the speakers. same for mic if needed | 07:15 |
| chickadee | Hello everyone, is anyone available to help me format an external USB hd please? I am running Ubuntu 5.0 on a live disc. | 07:15 |
| tlhonmey | blvnfsm: If you're trying to recover a failed disk, start by making a bitwise copy of it with ddrescue. Otherwise you might destroy what's left of the data with your recovery attempts. | 07:16 |
| rinkukokiri | blvnfsm, does the drive show up in bios??? (i'm asking because I do think the disk is completely SOL) | 07:16 |
| mykal | chickadee, if you can detect the drive, just right click and select format, then whatever options | 07:16 |
| tlhonmey | s/might/will probably/ | 07:16 |

| kennett | mykal: Thanks I'm gonna keep looking around for an answer. | 07:20 |
| chickadee | so i've tried fdisking the /dev/sdb1 and going through the list of menu commands, but without proper knowlege of what the commands do, I am not 100% sure what to do with regards to properly formatting and "zeroing" the drive. | 07:21 |
| chickadee | I've also tried zeroing the drive using the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M command, but that also didn't work. | 07:22 |
| chickadee | i tried cfdisk but it gave me errors | 07:22 |
| rinkukokiri | chickadee, are you sure you want to 'full zero' the drive?? will a simple format suffice? | 07:23 |
| chickadee | so i tried sfdisk but that seemed to provide closer details of what I was looking for, but still no cigar. | 07:23 |

| mykal | Kamilion, watermark??? really???? kk then, have you tried just heading to the ubuntu software center and using the free ati drivers there, if applicable | 07:30 |
| Klavier | iam using another usb keyboard | 07:30 |
| Klavier | can reset ps2 port without restart pc | 07:30 |
| Kamilion | mykal: yes. That's why I have the watermark. | 07:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | Klavier, i think you need to restart your PC, PS/2 Keyboards are not hot pluggable in anyway (should never be unplugged from a running machine actually) | 07:31 |
| Kamilion | I can't seem to get any newer ATI drivers to work either | 07:31 |
| Kamilion | I think they want kernel 2.6.38, bit 10.10 has 2.6.35 | 07:31 |
| Kamilion | Can't run natty because the ROS packages for it arn't complete yet | 07:32 |
| Klavier | ZykoticK9, i didnt unplugged it | 07:32 |
| Klavier | it locked and not working | 07:32 |
| Klavier | i dont want to restart | 07:32 |
| Klavier | is there another way? | 07:32 |
| Kamilion | Klavier: Unplug the ps2 connector and plug it back in to reset the keyboard's processor. | 07:33 |
| tlhonmey | Ascavasaion: I'm runing 10.04 on this machine at the moment, and all it needed was to have one of the Flash 10 packages installed. | 07:33 |
| tlhonmey | Klavier: replug it? That's about all I can think of. | 07:33 |
| tlhonmey | ZykoticK9: Modern ones are. Anything over about 14 years old though you can burn out the port by unplugging it while it's running. | 07:33 |
| Kamilion | Klavier: if the host side is locked up, nothing you can do but reboot. | 07:33 |
| Ascavasaion | tlhonmey: I thought so as well... so I uninstalled it through synaptic, and am busy reinstalling it as we speak. | 07:33 |
| Kamilion | ZykoticK9: They're not considered hot pluggable because if a PS/2 Device doesn't exist at poweron, the bios will ignore the port and plugging in a keyboard/mouse later will not initialize the port. Electrically, it can be hotplugged without issue. | 07:34 |

| rinkukokiri | Kamilion, advising someone to unplug a non hot-pluggable device isn't usually standard protocol... epically in this channel. | 07:38 |

| Kamilion | Restarting PS/2 devices usually won't cause damage due to the fact that modern keyboard controllers in southbridges tend to have more robust I/O lines built into them which are harder to damage than those of older ISA/PCI controllers. | 07:41 |
| rinkukokiri | This feature is highly dependent on the computer's BIOS. Because | 07:41 |
| rinkukokiri | PS/2 hotplug is not in the PS/2 specification, some PS/2 controllers may not | 07:41 |
| rinkukokiri | correctly handle "hotplugging" of a device, and some may short out devices. | 07:41 |
| rinkukokiri | This new driver does nothing special to accommodate hotplug other than | 07:41 |
| rinkukokiri | ignore initialization errors. | 07:41 |

| Flannel | rinkukokiri: Please stop pasting large things in the channel. Use pastebin. | 07:42 |
| gskellig | how do you fry a 486 | 07:42 |
| Kamilion | Basically, the modern chipsets protect their PS/2 ports the same way the USB ports are protected. Because both are in the same southbridge chip now. | 07:42 |
| skumara | Flannel, gnome classic in natty. I mean natty causes my laptop to heat up compared to lucid. | 07:42 |
| gskellig | is that why modern computers have PS2 ports still? | 07:42 |

| vanquish349 | how would i make a bash script run another bash script | 07:56 |
| sipior | mrkrrtft: might have a look in daemon.log | 07:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | vanquish349, same as running any other command (although you'd need the full path, if the script isn't in your $PATH) | 07:57 |
| vanquish349 | ZykoticK9: ok | 07:58 |
| gskellig | mrkrrtft, try #cyanogenmod, they give a lot of android help, and i know some people there have droidX's | 07:58 |
| mrkrrtft | sipior: nothing in it. I remembered something about dmesg from years ago, so I typed it. I see "wlan0: direct probe to macaddress (try 1/3) to (try 3/3) and then "timed out" | 07:58 |
| gskellig | i have a droidX as well, and it tethers perfectly to my 11.04 laptop | 07:58 |
| mrkrrtft | gskellig: Thanks... I'll try that. | 07:59 |
| mrkrrtft | gskellig: are you rooted? I"m using the stock OTA 2.3 GB that just came out | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | vanquish349: Just use the path to the script. | 07:59 |
| gskellig | you updated with the OTA? not with an unofficial update? | 07:59 |
| === dforthman is now known as dforthman[sleep] | ||
| gskellig | gingerbread broke the traditional tethering for me. I think it had to do with being rooted. I have to either pay for the hotspot or use USB tether now. (wifi tether without paying wasn't illegal before btw) | 08:00 |
| mrkrrtft | gskellig: yep. I wanted to see what the offical release was like. I know I can always SBF back to 2.3.340 and then upgrade. | 08:00 |
| speakman | I'm stuck at an NFS mount failing to mount at boot. It says "Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery". But nothing works! And I can't get it to boot! | 08:00 |
| gskellig | if you got the OTA straight from verizon you should be fine. Also if you pay for the hotspot you should also be fine. | 08:00 |
| gskellig | I DO know for a fact that the rooted wifi tether apps in the market stopped working with 2.3 (OTA or unofficial) | 08:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | speakman, you could "recovery console" and remove the NFS from your fstab? | 08:01 |
| gskellig | good luck either way | 08:01 |
| mrkrrtft | gskellig: argh.... I didn't know you had to pay for it..... I think I may downgrade back to froyo so I can use barnacle again... that worked with 11.04 | 08:01 |
| mrkrrtft | nothing else worked though | 08:01 |
| mrkrrtft | thanks gskellig | 08:01 |
| gskellig | yeah mrkrrtft, barnacle/wifi tether broke with 2.3, stupid verizon. however PDAnet with USB tether still works | 08:02 |
| speakman | ZykoticK9: recovery console also halts on failing nfs mount | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | jtannenbaum: Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" in both your Ubuntu installs and make sure that in each install you select only the drive corrosponding to that install as an install device for grub. That way you will never have an install of grub looking for its files on another drive (just using grub-install is not enough as the grub-pc packaging runs grub-install itself whenever it is upgraded). | 08:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | speakman, really? wow, I figured it would start without trying to mount any NFS stuff. sorry, I have no idea. Best of luck! | 08:03 |
| MK`` | When I updated to 11.04 it changed the way notifications appear in the upper right... how can I revert it to the old behavior? | 08:05 |
| speakman | ZykoticK9: in the best of worlds. Unfortently that's not the case :( | 08:05 |
| Ionic | Hm yeah | 08:05 |
| sipior | speakman: this is the root volume that fails to mount, i assume? | 08:06 |
| Ionic | Getting the source of linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae it says 2.6.38.2 in the Makefile | 08:06 |
| speakman | but - if pressing S or M worked, there wouldn't be any problems. But it doesn't! | 08:06 |
| Ionic | Oh my, I guess I'll never understand Ubuntu *shrugs* | 08:06 |
| Ionic | Thanks though | 08:06 |
| speakman | sipior: nope, it's just a global storage (say NAS) | 08:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | MK``, i highly doubt you can revert to the old behaviour. I certainly could be wrong. Good luck. | 08:07 |
| speakman | Do it has to do with me using USB keyboard? | 08:07 |
| sipior | speakman: try booting from a live cd, and change the mount type to soft (at least temporarily) | 08:08 |

| mykal | mikey_, just ask mate, whats the problem | 08:11 |
| Gorlak | yes coke, i have seen ssh-agent in ubuntu, used by it too | 08:12 |

| chickadee-afk | Out of curiosity, in case I wanted to add a level of security to my storage HD while having it readible (?) by Linux as well as an XP machine, what would be the best way to encrypt it ? | 08:12 |
| mikey_ | i installed ubuntu 11.04 and when i rebooted it up it comes up saying no prefix and im stuck on grub | 08:12 |
| Bakerconspiracy | tlhonmey I probably gotta build that online right? | 08:12 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk, try truecrypt, i found it pretty good for that purpose | 08:12 |
| tlhonmey | Bakerconspiracy: They have deb packages for it at Virtualbox.org. | 08:12 |
| chickadee-afk | Sweet! Thanks, Gorlak! :D I'll try it out!! ^^\/ | 08:12 |
| Gorlak | yea, I used the same thing for a while | 08:13 |
| chickadee-afk | @Gorlak: does it have to be installed? | 08:13 |
| tlhonmey | You're just not supposed to use it commercially without buying a license. (It's quite a reasonable price though.) | 08:13 |
| Gorlak | I had an external storage HD that i encrypted i used it for windows and linux | 08:13 |
| chickadee-afk | or can it be run remotely? | 08:13 |
| mykal | mikey_, how did you install? | 08:13 |
| Gorlak | yes, it does actually | 08:13 |
| Gorlak | its pretty simple for linux and windows though | 08:13 |
| chickadee-afk | sweet! | 08:13 |
| Gorlak | what you would prolly want though- | 08:13 |
| chickadee-afk | O.o ? | 08:13 |
| mikey_ | through usb drive, its on a net book | 08:13 |
| helplearn | After changing the write permissions to /tmp (so that I don't get the sanity-check error) things work fine but, unfortunately, such changes are lost the next time I reboot and I have to issue chmod from the console everytime I reboot, How can I change the write permissions to /tmp and make those changes persist in the future? | 08:14 |
| mykal | mikey_, complete format? | 08:14 |
| Gorlak | is to read some stuff about it, then encrypt your external, with the file system set to NTFS so it can be read by both OSes | 08:14 |
| chickadee-afk | really? NTFS? o.o | 08:14 |
| mikey_ | going off xp | 08:14 |
| Gorlak | well, | 08:14 |
| chickadee-afk | not Fat32? | 08:15 |
| mikey_ | i did a complete format though | 08:15 |
| Gorlak | it has to be read by windows, so NTFS is going to be the file system, | 08:15 |
| === crass_ is now known as crass` | ||
| Gorlak | I wouldnt use any FAT unless its a flash drive, | 08:15 |
| chickadee-afk | ah | 08:15 |
| chickadee-afk | @Gorlak: how come? | 08:15 |
| Gorlak | most flash drives use fat anyway but here is why | 08:15 |
| vanquish349 | how would i make a bash script open another bash script in a new terminal | 08:15 |
| mykal | chickadee-afk, my bad mate, its a usb hard drive, will still be detected | 08:15 |
| chickadee-afk | o.O | 08:15 |
| Gorlak | not stable for long term, high storage needs | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | helplearn: What sanity check error? What is the output of "ls -ld /tmp/" ? Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab? | 08:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | mykal, "gnome-terminal -e foo" perhaps? | 08:16 |
| chickadee-afk | @mykal ? | 08:16 |
| Gorlak | doesnt support all the nice things NTFS does, IF you just wanted it to be used on linux I would say use the truecrypt and then format the drive EXT4 | 08:16 |
| Gorlak | correction-- | 08:16 |
| chickadee-afk | o.O | 08:16 |
| mykal | ZykoticK9, ??? | 08:17 |
| vanquish349 | how would i make a bash script open another bash script in a new terminal | 08:17 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk you format the drive NTFS, then you create a truecrypt file on it which will be just about the size of the whole drive, then when you mount that file as a drive letter, format that NTFS as well. | 08:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | mykal, sorry - nic fail on my part | 08:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | vanquish349, "gnome-terminal -e foo" perhaps? | 08:17 |
| Gorlak | chieckadee-afk there are 2 file systems we are talking about =) | 08:17 |
| chickadee-afk | @Gorlak: Thanks! I will try to accomplish that! ^_^ ' \m/ | 08:17 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk ok. good luck with it, there are plenty of guides, especially for truecrypt | 08:18 |
| Krause | good morning folks, got a question for ya | 08:18 |
| helplearn | Jordan_U: The sanity check error it gives when you boot into your system and /tmp doesn't have write permissions. The output of ls -ld /tmp is obviously such that only the owner has write permissions and the sticky bit is not set: I know how to change that and I do it, solving the error, the problem is that THE NEXT TIME I REBOOT things come back to where they started (no sticky bit, no write permissions,etc.). | 08:18 |
| vanquish349 | ZykoticK9: ok | 08:18 |
| chickadee-afk | now should the Hex code I choose for NTFS be 86 or 87 ? | 08:18 |
| mykal | Gorlak, out of interest, wouldn't some sort of lvm be better for that, not that im great with this stuff | 08:18 |
| Gorlak | mykal for the external? | 08:18 |
| chickadee-afk | lvm ? | 08:19 |
| * chickadee-afk looks up truecrypt in the meantime | 08:19 | |
| mykal | ah, true, not much point. | 08:19 |
| vanquish349 | ZykoticK9: it says foo notfound | 08:19 |
| Krause | I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a server to which I have no physical access and I want to use Python 2.7 instead of 2.6 (which is the default) | 08:19 |
| BiggFREE | Is kernel 2.6.38.10 stable ? | 08:19 |
| Gorlak | mykal for simplicity sake ( and you want that when you are dealing with encryption, as once the whole block is encrypted you must be careful not to damage the file or you could lose all the data) | 08:19 |
| Krause | is there an easy way to upgrade that single package, or what way should I go about it? | 08:19 |
| Gorlak | I would not recommend lvm for an external hard drive, that needs to be encrypted | 08:19 |
| qin | vanquish349: gnome-terminal -e echo foo | 08:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | vanquish349, foo is something you replace - it's a variable. so the script you want to run in place of "foo" | 08:19 |
| vanquish349 | ZykoticK9: ohh lol | 08:20 |
| vanquish349 | i am only just starting out with bash | 08:20 |
| red | Hello, does anyone know how to resolve this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2188345/unity-screwed.png -- the icons are there, but everything is black, when I mouseover the black area I get tooltips showing the hidden icons name | 08:20 |
| red | It had happened during last night, screen locked overnight and when I unlocked it, the icons were missing | 08:20 |
| mykal | vanquish349, the guys in #bash at freenode are always helpful if you want to master | 08:21 |
| Gorlak | red have you rebooted the machine? | 08:21 |
| red | I tried rebooting yes | 08:21 |
| Gorlak | red no joy? | 08:21 |
| red | Also tried changing icon theme, and tweaking Unity settings in compiz config settings manager | 08:21 |
| red | no joy | 08:21 |
| Gorlak | you use unity or gnome? | 08:21 |
| mykal | mikey_, um, perhaps just try reinstall??? | 08:21 |
| red | Unity | 08:21 |
| red | default natty stuff | 08:21 |
| mykal | mikey_, just be sure to cross your fingers extra hard this time | 08:22 |
| red | havent tweaked much since it's my work computer | 08:22 |
| mikey_ | i have 3 times already from flash drive | 08:22 |
| Gorlak | red meh i dont like unity if you were using gnome i would say reset your gnome profile | 08:22 |
| vanquish349 | mykal: ohh lol didnt know about that | 08:22 |
| red | I like Unity over gnome :) | 08:22 |
| vanquish349 | goodbye going there now | 08:22 |
| ghsh | red:that would be a bad .conf file -- just dellete it or the .directory | 08:22 |
| chickadee-afk | @Gorlak: the version of Truecrypt to download -- would it be the Windows version or the Linux version ? and if Linux, which package? | 08:22 |
| chickadee-afk | :X | 08:22 |
| red | ghsh: I suppose I'll try | 08:22 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk you are using this on both windows and linux right? | 08:22 |
| chickadee-afk | i guess it would be the linux version | 08:22 |
| chickadee-afk | @Gorlak: yes | 08:22 |
| chickadee-afk | atm it is plugged into my linux box | 08:23 |
| chickadee-afk | my "bare bones" system | 08:23 |
| speakman | talking about Unity - are there any good keyboard shortcuts to know about? | 08:23 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk then you would need both, download the windows version and install it in windows, and download.. most likely since you are here you will need the debian one, it is actually an install script, sh | 08:23 |
| red | I removed the default super brings out app menu binding since it locks up the system for a good second or two while loading :p | 08:23 |
| Gorlak | red you could try to google 'reset unity desktop | 08:23 |
| Gorlak | red that might set things back to a fresh login once again | 08:24 |
| === tum is now known as Guest70221 | ||
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk you would need the standard linux one, either 32bit or 64 if you have 64bit linux | 08:25 |
| Gorlak | chickadee-afk the file you download you just right click set to run as program check mark, and then issue a command like sudo sh truecrypt-7.0a.tar.gz or whatever the file name ends up being | 08:26 |
| Gorlak | once you have downloaded the file from their website | 08:26 |
| clakes | blah... i've downloaded the 2.6.38-10 kernel... had to update menu.lst to get it shown in grub... then it just loads into tty | 08:26 |

| red | found it | 08:30 |
| strangr | ZykoticK9, oh right | 08:30 |
| Gorlak | red heh feels good when you find it. i think it took me a year to find a solution to something i was looking for and one day i just did a random google for it and found it. | 08:30 |
| Gorlak | red did the reset work | 08:31 |
| Gorlak | ? | 08:31 |
| red | I was too fast to be happy :P | 08:31 |

| shomon | hi, how do I stop a service from starting up at, um, startup? | 09:15 |
| AdvoWork | i have an old server running 6.06lts, i know the distribution is outdated, and it will be replaced, but in the mean time, how would I go about updating my mysql version (server version: 5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.15-log) to the latest? | 09:16 |
| shomon | so as not to have to do /etc/init.d/postgres stop each time I turn on the computer... | 09:16 |
| nopf | fine. now the system is totally borked | 09:16 |
| tlhonmey | shomon: Make the startup script in /etc/init.d non-executable. | 09:18 |
| shomon | aah thanks | 09:18 |
| tlhonmey | AdvoWork: You might or might not be able to without recompiling a *lot* of supporting libraries. But, theoretically you grab the latest packages from mysql and install them. | 09:19 |
| nikhil_ | hi. i'm using firefox 4.0.1 on ubuntu natty 11.04 x64 with the rein theme (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rein/). This is an awesome theme i would love to use, but the right click contextual menu text is the same colour as the menu (i.e. invisible) and only appears when i mouse-over. Anyone know how to fix this? | 09:19 |
| nikhil_ | anyone do any minor firefox (config) hacks? i'm looking to change the colour of the text in a contextual menu in a custom theme... | 09:19 |
| AdvoWork | tlhonmey, why would i have to recompile a lot of things? | 09:20 |
| mkquist | so does the 11.04 live cd have more problems? | 09:20 |
| shomon | tlhonmey, do you mean group, user or owner executable? is chmod x-og enough? | 09:20 |
| mkquist | like does it not boot to a desktop? | 09:20 |
| chenhuaiyu | how beatiful | 09:20 |
| chenhuaiyu | i am chinese | 09:21 |
| tlhonmey | shomon: take the execute bit away from everyone and it's guaranteed to work. | 09:21 |
| shomon | okay will do | 09:21 |
| AdvoWork | and tlhonmey will this be the same for php also? | 09:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | mkquist: Only what is listed on the following site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes | 09:21 |
| tlhonmey | AdvoWork: because the newest mysql probably requires later versions of at least some libraries than you have available for 6.06. So you'll have to upgrade the libraries to upgrade mysql. | 09:22 |
| mkquist | RevSpecies116: ty, ill check it out.. not booting to desktop on my laptop... | 09:22 |
| llutz | shomon: to enable/disable services, use "sysv-rc-conf" (needs to be installed) | 09:22 |
| tlhonmey | AdvoWork: and the versions you need are probably not available pre-compiled. | 09:22 |
| ghsh | nikhil_: should be easy | 09:22 |
| tlhonmey | AdvoWork: And yes, it'll probably be the same way with php. | 09:22 |
| nikhil_ | ghsh, direction? | 09:22 |
| ghsh | nikhil_: let me install it | 09:23 |
| shomon | thanks llutz I used to use some command line thing in older distros | 09:23 |
| tlhonmey | AdvoWork: In my experience you'll be seriously time-ahead to start with upgrading the OS. | 09:23 |

| nalex | I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I'm googling since some days for this problem, though I haven't found any working solution. How can I disable the possibility to shutdown the system by using the offswitch in the panel? | 09:29 |
| mkquist | so thoughts on 'unity'? | 09:29 |
| mkquist | like, dont? | 09:29 |
| th^^ | unity <3 | 09:29 |
| mkquist | th^^: really? | 09:30 |
| th^^ | really | 09:30 |
| mkquist | th^^: advantages? | 09:30 |
| th^^ | just disable panel autohiding, set icon size to 32, perfect :) | 09:30 |
| mkquist | th^^: just asking? on a desktop machine... | 09:30 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: Depends on your hardware. It's probably a setting in the bios. | 09:30 |
| th^^ | mkquist: i just find it stress free and mostly stays out of the way, apps in panel and quick search for apps, i kinda don't need/want anything more | 09:30 |
| th^^ | simple | 09:31 |
| mkquist | th^^: ill have to keep an open mind... off the cuff, not sure any advantages are there... oh well, can always go back. =) | 09:31 |
| th^^ | after using it for couple months it would be hard to go back to old desktop tbh | 09:31 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, I rather would like to make that button disappearing or invalid instead of going through the bios | 09:32 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: Oh.. I thought you meant the physical switch on the machine's front panel. | 09:32 |
| nalex | nonono | 09:33 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: You should be able to simply remove the offending button from the panel. | 09:33 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: why don't you ask in #debian? | 09:33 |
| roniez | Hey all got a question, when i do source /etc/nanorc it gives me BASH include unknown command, i have searched and googled and chcked forums, but i cannot find a solution, i bet its going to be something really stupid. | 09:33 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, the mashine is used by more than one user | 09:33 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: And there is a gconf key that will lock the panel so nobody else can use it. | 09:33 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: err... lock the panel so you can't add the button back. | 09:34 |
| llutz | roniez: why would you source nanorc into bash? | 09:34 |
| roniez | well | 09:34 |
| llutz | roniez: its a nano-config file, nothing for the shell | 09:34 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: Not sure it's worth the bother, it already takes root privileges to shut down the system when other people are logged in. | 09:34 |
| roniez | hm ok | 09:34 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, every user has it's own home folder. Due that I cannot remove it just by one click | 09:35 |
| roniez | Ok thats what i get. | 09:35 |
| roniez | as i said it must be something stupid. | 09:35 |
| roniez | its already working doh.. | 09:35 |
| kamel | tlhonmey: i also used that selector box but it seems to be gone since half a year or so | 09:35 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, yes but sometimes nobody else is logged in. So it works pretty well for anyone | 09:35 |
| kamel | or it was moved | 09:35 |
| tlhonmey | nalex, you should be able to edit the default configuration for all users. Unfortunately I don't know how off the top of my head. Last I knew the directory it was in was called skel, but there have been changes since then. | 09:36 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: If nobody else is logged in, then why worry about them shutting down the machine? | 09:37 |
| vimix | what is ubuntu using as std logging service? | 09:37 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: If it's a terminal server, then remote clients can't shut it down anyway... | 09:38 |
| llutz | vimix: rsyslogd | 09:38 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, because this single computer is actually 24 mashines. And they shall be avaiable 24 hours a day per ssh | 09:38 |
| nalex | no it's not tlhonmey | 09:38 |
| nalex | They can be used locally and per ssh | 09:38 |
| === brian is now known as Guest95978 | ||
| tlhonmey | nalex: I see... They didn't used to be able to... Guess I need to play with the terminal server again... | 09:39 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, the problem is not the remote clients. The problem is that that if they are used local , then they got the possibility to shut them down | 09:40 |
| _Rix | hello | 09:40 |
| _Rix | how do i remove fedora completely from my dual-boot | 09:40 |
| vimix | llutz: does logger(1) exist in ubuntu? (i've no (ubuntu)linux box here to test it) | 09:40 |
| _Rix | i am dual-booting ubuntu and fedora | 09:40 |
| llutz | !info logger | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Package logger does not exist in natty | 09:41 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: If you're concerned about that, you should probably lock up the server and replace that station with a remote client. | 09:41 |
| _Rix | hello "" | 09:41 |
| llutz | vimix: bsdutils brings logger | 09:41 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: Because you can disable the UI all you want, alt-sysrq-b will still reset the machine. | 09:41 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: If you can type it on the console that is. | 09:42 |
| rileyp | how do i add repos to my diskless servers image | 09:43 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, yes but if somebody uses such methods he knows exactly that he should not shutdown the computer. If somebody presses shutdown instead logout though, it's a different thing. | 09:43 |
| thepentester | rileyp, cant | 09:43 |
| === ronin_ is now known as Guest57814 | ||
| tlhonmey | nalex: There's also a power switch and the threat of spilled coffee. | 09:43 |
| rileyp | the pentester what do you mean | 09:44 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, and I really don't want to discuss about the sense of such an action. All I'm asking for is a possibility to forbid the shutdown with the gnome interface | 09:44 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, I can control that with the acpi events | 09:44 |
| nalex | that's not the problem | 09:44 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: and I'm thinking. :) I'm just making sure that's what you really need while I'm at it. | 09:44 |
| rileyp | Id like to add some repos to my diskless image how can I do that | 09:44 |
| rileyp | so it affects all clients | 09:45 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: you could disable gdm on the console and have them log in in text mode and start X manually. If it's done that way, they can't order a shutdown, only a logout... | 09:45 |
| nalex | tlhonmey, I really need it. I can only start those mashines local. And I don't want do go to uni during the weekend because somebody shut them down Friday everying | 09:45 |
| nalex | hmmm | 09:45 |
| rileyp | I know how to add packages and rebuild the image hjust want to add some gpgs and keyrings | 09:46 |
| tlhonmey | nalex: which means, that the setting you're lookng for is probably somewhere in the gdm config. | 09:46 |
| nalex | not userfriendly enough tlhonmey . Don't want to tell some hundret people how to start X | 09:46 |
| nalex | I think in LTS it's called custom.conf | 09:46 |
| nalex | and I tried already "SecureShutdown" "AllowShutdown=false" and such stuff. All without effect | 09:47 |
| rileyp | custom.conf for me??? | 09:47 |
| nalex | no rileyp | 09:47 |

| HerrBlume | FusionX: Debian | 10:18 |
| RenaKunisaki | FusionX, Xubuntu, Kubuntu? | 10:18 |
| RenaKunisaki | those are still Ubuntu but with different programs | 10:19 |
| FusionX | No, not their variations but entirely different distros | 10:19 |
| RenaKunisaki | yeah try Debian then | 10:19 |
| FusionX | HerrBlume: Is Debian user-friendly for people new to linux (not that new).. | 10:20 |
| _Rix | I need to boot into ubuntu from the grub menu | 10:20 |
| HerrBlume | FusionX: not as pollished as Ubuntu, but very consistent | 10:20 |
| HerrBlume | FusionX: e.g. you have to install your properitary drivers by yourself | 10:20 |
| sipior | HerrBlume: what are the contents of LD_PRELOAD? | 10:21 |
| milamber | nalex: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf// seems like you just have to set the .mandatory option | 10:21 |
| FusionX | Hmm..I can do that. | 10:21 |
| icomera | hi, anyone? | 10:21 |
| HerrBlume | sipior: Thanks for the help | 10:21 |
| iceroot | FusionX: why you need another distri? | 10:21 |
| _Rix | grub prompt | 10:21 |
| HerrBlume | sipior: I just preloaded a 64Bit lib for a 32 Bit application | 10:21 |
| FusionX | iceroot: I just want to use something else other than Ubuntu, other reason is that it runs super slow on my crapware | 10:21 |
| sipior | HerrBlume: ah. | 10:21 |
| FusionX | Well, I guess I should go for debian then..Thanks a lot for the suggestion guys | 10:22 |
| FusionX | :) | 10:22 |
| HerrBlume | np | 10:22 |
| RenaKunisaki | I'd recommend Xubuntu, but apparently it's actually bigger than Ubuntu now | 10:22 |
| RenaKunisaki | though it does still run nicely on my 8-year-old machine | 10:22 |
| milamber | FusionX: while not an official derivative, lubuntu is designed for that | 10:22 |
| HerrBlume | apt-cache search build-essential | 10:22 |
| HerrBlume | oops.... | 10:23 |
| RenaKunisaki | ENOTTY | 10:23 |
| sipior | RenaKunisaki: :-) | 10:23 |
| cyberjorge | what's a good linux media server? Aside from ubuntu and amahi? | 10:23 |
| FusionX | RenaKunisaki: The newest version of Xubuntu i.e. 11.04 gives me the same GUI bloat as Ubuntu, which makes it run slow. | 10:23 |
| compdoc | what kind of media server? | 10:24 |
| RenaKunisaki | you might do well just disabling Compiz | 10:24 |
| HerrBlume | FusionX: you can install an minimalist ubuntu without X | 10:24 |
| HerrBlume | FusionX: Just don't select 'Desktop computer' in the installation | 10:25 |
| FusionX | Guys, Which one of the two should I choose, CD/DVD? I don't want to install much from the internet (60 KBps bandwidth). | 10:26 |

| ionwind | minimal BASH-like line editing is suported. For the the fisrt word, tab LISTS possible command comletions. any where else tab lists possible device or file completicions | 10:27 |
| compdoc | hard to say what its doing, but it always seems to d/l stuff from online while installing - even when you tell it not to | 10:27 |
| ionwind | that is the message in the screen .... what i do from here?? | 10:27 |
| _Rix | heelloo ?? | 10:28 |
| FusionX | Guys, Which one of the two should I choose, CD/DVD (Debian)? I don't want to install much from the internet (60 KBps bandwidth) while installing. If CD serves as a basic installation without much bloatedness, that would be fine. | 10:28 |

| compdoc | cyberjorge, I guess mythbuntu wouldnt work? I use that | 10:30 |
| compdoc | anyway, I gtg | 10:30 |
| cyberjorge | HerrBlume: but the problem is I have to install all media softwares one by one unlike media servers like Amahi | 10:31 |
| gartral | nvm | 10:31 |
| cyberjorge | compdoc alright I'll check that | 10:31 |

| adrian15 | Hi. I am trying to setup a nginx server on Ubuntu 8.04 so that it makes a https proxy for a tomcat server. I have tried all the howtos and it does work with ssl engine off (with http). It does not work with https. How am I supposed to debug it? | 10:37 |

| adrian15 | iceroot: Yes, I have it. | 10:40 |
| iceroot | adrian15: logs (in debug) doesnt tell anything usefull? | 10:41 |
| adrian15 | iceroot: No. The problem is that server never answers. | 10:41 |
| iceroot | adrian15: https port is open? | 10:42 |
| iceroot | adrian15: from outside | 10:42 |
| adrian15 | iceroot: Yes, it is open from outside because I formerly had a tomcat server there and I have turned it off. | 10:42 |

| iceroot | adrian15: the start is ok? | 10:47 |
| slooksterpsv | what program or that is ran when I press like a volume softkey on my keyboard in Ubuntu? - it raises the volume and shows the notification that the volume's changed, but what program is that? | 10:47 |
| adrian15 | iceroot: Yes. Running /etc/init.d/nginx start does not complain at all. | 10:47 |
| slooksterpsv | guess I should specify need more specific than like notify-send | 10:47 |
| adrian15 | iceroot: How one is supposed to enable debug-level on nginx ? | 10:47 |
| iceroot | adrian15: nginx --help | 10:48 |

| ionwind | is i life session i have to copy the files before i formatin | 10:54 |

| adrian15 | iceroot: But I suppose that I would get a certificate error on web browser and that's all (Although I am not sure). | 10:54 |
| RenaKunisaki | ionwind, try "sudo -i" | 10:54 |
| slooksterpsv | it should be .conkyrc vanquish349 in your home folder it's hidden | 10:54 |
| RenaKunisaki | _Rix, you might want to look up how to configure GRUB | 10:55 |
| gartral | _Rix: that should be default | 10:55 |
| _Rix | will sudo update-grub work | 10:55 |

| ionwind | the problem is when i update 10.04 to 11.04 the grub coorup | 10:56 |
| adrian15 | iceroot: It is what I want it to do (with https). | 10:56 |
| brian_11_04 | does ubuntu server come preinstalled with Xfree ? | 10:57 |

| afrodeity | this is just typical, I'm not getting WSIWYG in GIMP | 11:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | jnlsnl_, I suspect that they are mounted each time as their mount-points are different (keep in mind that each different/multiple drive must have a separate mount-point), but again, I don't think it will harm them. | 11:23 |
| afrodeity | one cm = one cm, surely? | 11:23 |

| jnlsnl_ | Sindewinder1 but the mountpoint is the same though, if I execute the same command twice: sudo mount -t cifs... Then the grep will show two results | 11:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | jnlsnl_, My question to you is why you mount multiple times? | 11:24 |
| jnlsnl_ | Sindewinder1 but i guess your right, it probably dose't matter | 11:25 |

| bullgard4 | stianhj: Thank you very much for your help. | 12:07 |
| cmr | can I take a .deb of a newer ubuntu release and install it on hardy? | 12:07 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: I can connect to it, and i auth correctly. But.. i get back to my laptop terminal, and not my server | 12:07 |
| FloatingGoat | Is it possible for me to advertise Ubuntu on a local station? | 12:07 |
| stianhj | FloatingGoat, yes | 12:08 |

| Coke | Hello. How can I run unity (with the bar on the left side) in Ubuntu 11.04? | 12:08 |
| FloatingGoat | I think | 12:08 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, but that's via ssh.. i'm asking if you have physical access to the server.. can you log in locally on it | 12:09 |
| FloatingGoat | But its very inexpensive. | 12:09 |

| MonkeyDust | Coke: logout, then login with Ubuntu | 12:09 |
| Coke | I did | 12:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | FloatingGoat, I think it's a great idea; why not contact Conical directly? | 12:09 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: I have it right here yes, but i get no terminal on it. Screen is just black when i plug it in | 12:09 |
| FloatingGoat | Sidewinder1 I don't know how I could. | 12:10 |

| Coke | I'm running "Ubuntu" session. | 12:10 |
| Coke | No sidebar | 12:10 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, well then you should fix that first.. trying to ssh into a server that doesn't work.. | 12:10 |
| Coke | I don't know this doesnt look like unity at all. There's a top bar that looks exactly like the normal gnome3 | 12:11 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: I guess i'll have to reinstall the server then | 12:11 |
| Coke | and no sidebar. | 12:11 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, have you tried the different TTYs? | 12:11 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, like ctrl-alt-f1 f2 etc | 12:11 |
| neoinr | now | 12:12 |
| Coke | How can I replace gnome3 with unity? | 12:12 |
| stianhj | Coke, maybe a hw acceleration issue? | 12:12 |
| Coke | stianhj: it's in virtualbox, ive got the guest addition installed | 12:13 |
| cmyrland | Wow, I actually discovered that qutecom is in the ubuntu repos :) But, and this is a big but, why doesn't the software center allow me to install non-autheticated programs when they are available in default repos? I can do it from CLI, but USC just says "Unable to download, check you internet connection".. That's annoyinh | 12:13 |
| cmyrland | g* | 12:13 |
| === andy_ is now known as Guest37399 | ||
| stianhj | Coke, yeah, don't think that works very well.. even with guest additions | 12:13 |
| Coke | vboxvideo is loaded in the guest system | 12:13 |
| Coke | compiz does. | 12:13 |
| Coke | I'm assuming it's just normal OpenGL? | 12:13 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: That didn't help. I actually doesn't seem to get a signal out at all | 12:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | FloatingGoat, Or you could start here (if you haven't already): http://www.canonical.com | 12:14 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, weird.. reinstall maybe? | 12:15 |
| Coke | stianhj: so, basically, it doesnt work in virtualbox for unknown reasons? | 12:15 |
| FloatingGoat | Sidewinder1 alright thanks :) | 12:15 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: I will. I tried starting in recovery mode, but as fast as the terminal should appear, i loose vide signal | 12:15 |
| EClaesson_ | stianhj: Or perhaps it can't work on HDMI? (No, it's not really a server :P) | 12:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | cmyrland, I prefer Synaptic to Software Centers; you may need to add some specific repositories in order to do what you wish to do. | 12:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | FloatingGoat, No prob. :-) | 12:16 |
| stianhj | Coke, the reasons aren't unknown.. i just don't know them | 12:17 |
| tholl583xx | hi, i have x86_64 desktop running fedora14, a lot of the packages feel a bit rough, i am thinking of switching to ubuntu when i upgrade, how stable is ubuntu x64 ? | 12:18 |
| sipior | tholl583xx: it's fine. | 12:20 |
| cmyrland | Sidewinder1, this is not about personal taste. Canonical wants people to use the USC, and the program I tried to install was in the official repo. So why does USC tell me to check my internet connection, and then tell me the package had "unauthenticated" dependencies and just blocks my download? Not very user friendly. | 12:20 |
| stianhj | EClaesson_, i have no idea.. maybe that need some special gfx card drivers | 12:22 |
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||

| dpecka_ | stianhj: interesting, how they could support then my 10G limit or so | 12:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | szal, I don't know about Software Center, but I believe that Synaptic is simply a front-end GUI for apt-get. | 12:28 |
| stianhj | dpecka_, what do you mean? what has one thing got to do with the other? | 12:28 |
| stianhj | Sidewinder1, software center is just a more fancy front-end GUI for apt-get, isn't it? | 12:28 |
| kirean | I need help with dockbarx. | 12:29 |

| kirean | how do I "kill gnome-panel first if necessary" | 12:30 |
| dpecka_ | stianhj: that's bit of unproportional ... i don't use google much but now i'm unable to send an email with attached 65MB in one file and i just didn't expect that if google still claims with proud how much space we all have that's dumb like this | 12:30 |
| Sidewinder1 | stianhj, Perhaps, I don't know, but last time I checked (Hardy?) Synaptic had thousands more installable packages than Software Ctr. | 12:30 |
| kirean | smart as i am I translated that to delete panel | 12:30 |
| kirean | so now I don't have the old panel and no dockbarx either | 12:30 |
| kirean | how can I activate/enable dockbarx? | 12:31 |

| aar | Hello, any recommendations for desktop file indexing in Kubuntu 10.04? I need it to be able to read into PDFs, DOCs and ODT. | 13:35 |
| auk | juank_prada, funny, see, i'm considering migrating from ubuntu to fedora | 13:35 |
| juank_prada | auk: hehe, well fedora's fine, great distro imho.... I use it with kde though, I really don't like it how the gnome guys implemented their paradigm | 13:36 |
| juank_prada | I just like to test multiple distros and Ubuntu was the first Linux distro i worked with, and it's been a lot of time since i used it | 13:37 |
| th^^ | meh, login to ubuntu wiki doesn't work | 13:37 |
| th^^ | internal server error :( | 13:37 |
| stianhj | My soundcard sometimes drops out. Can I restart the drivers for it without restarting my machine? | 13:38 |
| Sik | sudo alsa reload | 13:38 |
| juank_prada | auk: plus fedora is more for people willing to deal with their OS...I used to have to time to do it, but right now i just need something that works as soon as I install it instead of having ocasional crashes due to some updates | 13:38 |
| Sik | Try if that works >_> | 13:38 |
| auk | juank_prada, i find unity to be very similar to gnome shell, so dunno if you'll like it, but give it a try :) my favorite thing in unity is actually pretty small, the new scroll bars (although there is some polish needed and it doesn't work with all apps) | 13:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | aar, Not sure if it's installed with Kubuntu but Openoffice.org's word processor reads all of the formats that you listed. | 13:39 |
| auk | juank_prada, yeah that is my main concern about fedora is that it would be less stable | 13:39 |
| stianhj | Sik: it reloaded all the kernel modules it seems.. but still no sound | 13:39 |
| auk | juank_prada, i haven't had an ubuntu system fail to boot after upgrade in a few years | 13:39 |
| Sik | Go into alsamixer and check the devices? | 13:40 |
| aar | Sidewinder1, I was thinking of indexing (e.g. Beagle, Kerry, Tracker...) | 13:40 |
| auk | juank_prada, but prior to maybe two years ago, it happened decently often (but rarely) | 13:40 |
| aar | Sidewinder1, I'll try recoll, thanks. | 13:40 |
| Sik | Also the sound panel (left-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, select "sound preferences") | 13:40 |
| juank_prada | auk: well you can alwasy configure update system to only get critical or bug-fixing updates... ans so you wont end up having the latest version of some package which might have some ocasional bug | 13:40 |
| oriba | hi. my sys-update manager showed me some packages that I should install, but which were not authorised. something with sysvinit and libpoppler and such stuff. Instead of security updates it was something from launchpad.net ; that it is not authorised makes me sceptical on if I should install it or better not... | 13:40 |
| stianhj | Sik, everything is unmuted, volume up | 13:40 |
| Sik | Check which device is selected for output | 13:41 |
| juank_prada | auk: as i said, i've nothing against fedora, its a great distro and i work with it at the office... but i want to try somthing different | 13:41 |
| stianhj | Sik: did sudo alsa force-restart, and it worked :) thanks | 13:41 |
| auk | juank_prada, actually i was hoping fedora would offer some in-between, as i find it really annoying how ubuntu doesn't offer updates even for major packages that come out a week after the release | 13:41 |
| stianhj | Sik: force-reload not restart | 13:42 |
| Sik | stianhj: :D | 13:42 |
| RenaKunisaki | oriba, typically do "sudo apt-get update", and if it's still doing that, just wait. installing unauthorized packages is a security risk, but when you get that it's usually just a temporary glitch that will be cleared up in a little while. | 13:42 |
| llutz_ | auk: juank_prada could you please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic, this chan is ubuntu support | 13:42 |
| juank_prada | auk: that is actually the default | 13:42 |

| peter__ | edbian: oh thanks... got it now | 14:49 |
| edbian | peter__: good :) | 14:49 |
| myrmidette | edbian, just one | 14:49 |
| cordiceps | damn!! almos 2000 nicks... | 14:49 |
| myrmidette | it has to be a specific user | 14:49 |
| Pici | cordiceps: Did you have a support question? | 14:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | 1627 | 14:49 |
| cordiceps | is ubuntu channel the largest in all freenode? | 14:49 |
| edbian | myrmidette: sudo chown you:them /path/to/file | 14:49 |
| xskydevilx | When I switch to a different theme, all the fonts change except the ones on the panel (and the global menu which I have installed), on GNOME. Any ideas? | 14:49 |
| myrmidette | I think it can be done by making a group and adding him | 14:49 |
| edbian | myrmidette: sudo chmod 770 /path/to/file | 14:49 |
| edbian | myrmidette: That's one way | 14:49 |
| cordiceps | Pici: as a matter of a fackt I do. | 14:50 |
| myrmidette | edbian, do those two commands do the same thing? | 14:50 |
| sagaci | cordiceps: perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:50 |
| BlouBlou | cordiceps: yes. Now, do you have any *support* question? | 14:50 |
| edbian | myrmidette: To be clear. chown -R you:theGroupYou'reBothIn /path/to/file This makes it so you are the owner and that group is the group owner | 14:50 |
| cordiceps | BlouBlou: I said I do. | 14:50 |
| sagaci | cordiceps: then what is it | 14:50 |
| edbian | myrmidette: The second command describes what those people (you and those in the group) can actually do to do the file. -R does it to all files / folders under that folder. | 14:51 |
| edbian | myrmidette: Are you confused? | 14:51 |
| myrmidette | This makes it so you are the owner and that group is the group owner << please explain that | 14:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | how do i limit the size of a certain directory. what im trying to do is setup and ftp server with a limit of 100GIG on each folder on the drive | 14:51 |
| cordiceps | some kubuntu/ubuntu recent version states that it does NOT have XDMPC support. That's a major wtf, I want to install kubuntu on qemu and remote login. | 14:51 |
| myrmidette | edbian, I have a crystal clear undrestading of chmod but that's not what I need | 14:52 |
| Squarism | "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/24" means network has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 right? | 14:52 |
| cordiceps | Why is XDMPC absent?? | 14:52 |
| edbian | myrmidette: Every file has an owner. (that is clear right?) Every file also has a group that owns it. We're gonna make a group you're both in and make that the group owner | 14:52 |
| Gilos_ | Squarism, yes | 14:52 |
| cordiceps | running emulated display is unnecessary overhead. | 14:52 |
| edbian | myrmidette: What questions do you have? | 14:52 |
| myrmidette | edbian, so chown -R you:theGroupYou'reBothIn /path/to/file also makes that group? | 14:52 |
| edbian | myrmidette: No, we never created the group :P | 14:52 |
| Pici | cordiceps: I was under impression that the newer versions of GDM does not support XDMCP login. | 14:52 |
| edbian | myrmidette: Wanna do that? | 14:53 |

| myrmidette | I'm trying to set up a read-only ftp server | 14:55 |
| edbian | myrmidette: k | 14:55 |
| edbian | myrmidette: so then the other one would be sudo usermod -g ftp otherUser | 14:56 |
| myrmidette | well, with write permissions for specific people | 14:56 |
| edbian | myrmidette: sure | 14:56 |
| [THC]AcidRain | deplyment: goto system --> admin --> menu. add a menu item under accessories "sudo nautilus" | 14:56 |
| llutz_ | edbian: DON'T use usermod -G without -a on an existing user | 14:57 |
| thiebaude | !gksudo | 14:57 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i take that back. its system --> preferences | 14:57 |
| edbian | llutz_: please explain? | 14:57 |
| llutz_ | < edbian> myrmidette: sudo usermod -g newGroup you will "you" kick out from all groups except newGroup | 14:57 |
| edbian | llutz_: This does not explain that! :( http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-add-user-to-group/ | 14:58 |

| llutz_ | edbian: man usermod | 14:58 |
| edbian | llutz_: Thanks | 14:58 |

| edbian | myrmidette: Are you still there? Can you sudo? | 14:59 |
| myrmidette | I haven't run it yet don't worry | 14:59 |
| llutz_ | edbian: better use "sudo adduser user group" to add a user to a group | 14:59 |

| user17 | hi, i've just installed chrome (the propietary version, not chromium), but i also have firefox installed, however, whenever i attempt to open a link in, say, xchat (or any gnome app for tht matter), it opens chrome instead of firefox, even though firefox is configured to be the default browser... wat do? :( | 15:06 |
| fellipe | is there a ubuntu live cd without X, gnome-desktop and theses stuffs? would be better a ubuntu server live cd... do anyone know? | 15:06 |
| osmosis_paul | Please somebody can tell me why suddelnly i lost my root password | 15:06 |
| edbian | !root | 15:06 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:06 |
| edbian | osmosis_paul: There is no root password | 15:06 |
| szal | osmosis_paul: there's no such thing as a root pwd on *buntu; if you set one up, that's not supported here | 15:07 |
| [THC]AcidRain | osmosis_paul: try turning caps lock off ;) | 15:07 |
| user17 | fellipe: ubuntu Jeos maybe? | 15:07 |
| fellipe | user17: I don't know jeos | 15:07 |
| osmosis_paul | [THC]AcidRain, caps lock off? | 15:07 |
| fellipe | user17: what's it? | 15:07 |
| Pici | fellipe: There is no live-cd that doesn't have the desktop. The server installer and the minimal installer both install systems that don't have X or a desktop environment though. | 15:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | root password is case sensetive. ive never known a case where it magically goes away | 15:08 |
| user17 | fellipe: oh nevermind, i thought jeos was still distributed as a standalone distribution... anyway, i think you should go with the server edition | 15:08 |
| osmosis_paul | [THC]AcidRain, it is correct, the only that i did probably is remove one group | 15:08 |

| mtu7618 | cordiceps: oh, you mean communication between host and guest? | 15:37 |

| ZarroBoogs | szal: noted. | 16:00 |
| _joey | netyire: nah, there was a good reason why aptitude was written | 16:00 |
| _joey | as an alternative | 16:00 |
| _joey | it's like lilo and grub | 16:00 |

| _joey | we all knew lilo sucked, and yet many continued to use it | 16:01 |
| * netyire pets _joey on the back | 16:01 | |
| _joey | so | 16:01 |
| genepeer | Sorry for asking to ask, not sure if I was in the right place. Anyway, I had Ubuntu 8.04 on my computer and wanted to upgrade to 10.04 using the alternate-cd. But whenever I try, the update-manager hangs. I don't see how the CD could be corrupt since I downloaded using bittorrent and wrote the CD with minimal speed. | 16:01 |
| _joey | actually, I did not know aptitude wasn't included in Ubuntu by default | 16:01 |
| _joey | let me check if I have it | 16:01 |
| _joey | yes, i have it | 16:02 |

| netyire | genepeer: the UpgradeNotes https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes only mentions upgrading to 10.04 from 8.04 | 16:03 |
| _joey | Ixopop: some drivers on linux suck | 16:03 |
| szal | netyire: that's exactly what's at hand here ;) | 16:03 |
| genepeer | Sidewinder1, I thought torrent-software checks hashes does that on its own | 16:04 |

| donkeyinspace | hello, does it has to be fat system the partition where to create an ubuntu live usb pen drive? | 16:05 |
| netyire | Guest6029: that can be resolved. change the driver 'nvidia' to 'nv' in the Xorg config file. | 16:06 |
| `Shikhin | llutz_: Then why does it fail and why does syslog contain the following: http://pastebin.com/6aQYmWUm | 16:06 |

| _joey | donkeyinspace: if you want to use your pen drive elsewhere | 16:06 |

| Ixopop | joey any idea how to repair y MBR for the secondary drive with the sucky ubuntu drivers? | 16:07 |
| szal | nv was obsoleted when nVidia thought that nouveau was stable enough for everyday use | 16:07 |
| _joey | with mbr/fdisk i guess | 16:07 |
| _joey | Ixopop: | 16:07 |
| donkeyinspace | _joey, do you mean that specific partition? | 16:07 |
| genepeer | Sidewinder1, I thought so too but interestingly enough the Update Manager recognizes that the new available 10.04.2 LTS but says I'll have to download nearly 1GB. This could take 6hrs here. I think I'll run the CD Self-test option and if nothing turns up I'll have no option but to download the whole 1GB :( | 16:08 |
| _joey | mbr is not partion specific | 16:08 |
| llutz_ | `Shikhin: desktop or server? desktop definetly doesn't run dhcpd by default | 16:08 |
| _joey | it's hdd specific | 16:08 |
| Ixopop | sigh - tried that Joey - the changes wont keep | 16:08 |
| _joey | what is the problem anyway? I missed it | 16:09 |
| `Shikhin | `Shikhin: Desktop. If it doesn't how the heck do I solve this problem? Want to see my dhcpd.conf file (if it makes any difference). | 16:09 |
| netyire | Guest6029: looks like that fix won't work. I apologize, I solved it this way back in an earlier version of Ubuntu. Uninstalling the nvidia-glx package should do the trick | 16:09 |
| Ixopop | after upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04 - my 2nd disk was resized from 120gb to 33gb - it is even reporting incorrectly to bios | 16:09 |
| netyire | _joey: bacon or beer? | 16:09 |
| tabu_musti | I use Ubuntu 11.04. I installed 22 extension on chromium-browser. But i have a problem with Chrome. It is always use from cpu. also when i open a page, it use minimum 60 mb and it increase on 400 mb... That is a problem right ? i re-installed it but after extension it always make the same problem. but i change all extensions with alternatives but the same problem still... So we can't use with extension the chrome ? | 16:10 |
| netyire | _joey: now, have you heard of the principle of complementarity? | 16:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | genepeer, The problem is that you can no longer update Hardy (without jumping through hoops) as it is EOL and updating is necessary when upgrading through update mgr. That's why I suggested a fresh install. I hope that makes sense. | 16:10 |
| Guest6029 | netyire Now I have Ubuntu 10.10 | 16:10 |
| _joey | donkeyinspace: delete all your partions, rewrite the mbr. Mount the new partion using "linux utilities" . Some people use ms-windows/dos utilities and then have problems with disk partions under linux | 16:11 |
| th0r | tabu_musti: sounds like you should be complaining to the extension developers. | 16:11 |
| Guest6029 | <netyire> Try or not? nvidia to nv? | 16:11 |
| _joey | netyire: i haven't heard of that principle. What is it and how it's related to ubuntu? | 16:11 |
| _joey | is it complementing other linux distributions? | 16:11 |
| genepeer | Ok then, I hate having to reconfigure Ubuntu everytime after a fresh-install! | 16:12 |
| netyire | Guest6029: remove the nvidia-glx package, I don't believe the old solution will work in 10.10 -- there is no longer an Xorg.conf file | 16:12 |
| Ixopop | thanks _Joey - i'll give that a try | 16:12 |
| tabu_musti | th0r: ok but after i change all extension the same problem still . So this is a problem of chrome 90% ... ? right ? | 16:12 |
| donkeyinspace | _joey, dont know what mbr is but going to google it | 16:12 |

| brown_fern | Ubun: Yes, I'm no expert, but I would think that an Intel Pentium 4 could definitely handle Ubuntu 11.04, remember to backup any files you want to keep and that it's possible to resize partitions in order to make room for Linux if a Microsoft Windows partition is taking up the entire volume. | 16:50 |

| b44 | how to install Glassfish on ubuntu??? there are about 5 packages ....... | 17:59 |
| kLown | tensorpudding: I see "file transfers' but I dont see video/picture | 17:59 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: do as above , sudo nvidia-xconfig , restart and again if you get command line login there and do Xorg -configure , I hope that would be enough | 17:59 |
| zzzombiezzz | kLown, jabber can do media transfers .. | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | kLown: what protocol? | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | kLown: jabber/gtalk supports them | 18:00 |
| kLown | tensorpudding: msn/aim/yahoo | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | kLown: yeah, like i said, the support is incomplete | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | kLown: pretty sure that AIM doesn't support video | 18:00 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok will be try but now I have driver from site of NVIDIA last version | 18:00 |
| tensorpudding | as for msn, i don't think the video part is available in any client | 18:01 |
| tensorpudding | except the microsoft one | 18:01 |
| tensorpudding | but i don't use MSN | 18:01 |
| rinkukokiri | anyone know of a file duplicate finder that actually works?? fslint doesnt work the way it should | 18:01 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: on 8.10 I used 173 version ubuntu package, but now I use nvidia-current package , works well for me | 18:01 |
| kLown | ah, ok. thanks :) | 18:01 |
| rly | !opencl | 18:02 |
| rly | How do I get OpenCL to work on Ubuntu? | 18:02 |
| jhala | zzzombiezzz: no use man | 18:02 |
| rly | (AMD card) | 18:02 |
| rinkukokiri | more specifically, i am looking to remove duplicate mp3's from my music folder, and using FSlint doesn't... it only finds dupe albumart. | 18:02 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> script from NVIDIA installed to me 173 version | 18:02 |
| phaedral | sudo apt-get autoremove knows openoffice is there to remove, but I can't get the shell to admit openoffice is anywhere around to run | 18:03 |
| tensorpudding | rly: what's OpenCL | 18:03 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I see it in menu->Additional Drivers in window | 18:03 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok I will be try insatll the sripts | 18:04 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: is it shown in green? | 18:04 |
| rinkukokiri | I need a duplicate mp3 remover... anyone? | 18:05 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Yes is green "NVIDIA acseler.... grafic driver (ver.. 173)" | 18:05 |
| rly | tensorpudding: opencl is like opengl, but for a wider range of computations. | 18:05 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: Does it have to be graphical? :-) | 18:06 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Current version is gray | 18:06 |
| haavaros | Hi! What is the the name of the notifier app for empathy and evolution, the little envelope thing in the task bar? | 18:06 |
| rly | tensorpudding: GPGPU platform, if that means something to you. | 18:06 |
| realz | sudo /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd start ..... "421 Unable to switch capabilities : Operation not permitted | 18:06 |
| realz | " ... ? | 18:06 |
| rinkukokiri | Corey, i would /prefer/ it be, but no. | 18:06 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: Otherwise I'd probably script something with find, awk, and sort / uniq -c. :-) | 18:06 |
| Pici | rly: I see python-pyopencl in the repositories. | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | rly: so it sounds like you need to find a Linux implementation of it | 18:06 |
| G00053 | haavaros: indicator applet | 18:06 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: try enabling compiz, can you do that? | 18:06 |
| haavaros | G00053: Ah, thx | 18:06 |
| rly | Pici: that's not it. | 18:06 |
| rly | tensorpudding: if you don't know, I do not need hand holding. | 18:07 |
| rly | tensorpudding: if nobody knows, that is an acceptable solution too. | 18:07 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/08/find-duplicate-copies-of-files/ seems to tsill be useful | 18:07 |
| pksadiq | !info fdupes | 18:07 |
| ubottu | fdupes (source: fdupes): identifies duplicate files within given directories. In component main, is optional. Version 1.50-PR2-3 (natty), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB | 18:07 |
| rinkukokiri | yep just found that | 18:07 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: Looks like fslint is the GUI version. | 18:08 |
| rinkukokiri | hum | 18:08 |
| rinkukokiri | then it won't work | 18:08 |
| Corey | Er, FSlint rather. | 18:08 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> What is compiz? | 18:08 |
| rly | tensorpudding: perhaps you can tell me what the initialization file is for a graphical session on default Ubuntu 11.04? | 18:08 |
| aeon-ltd | !info compiz | 18:08 |
| ubottu | compiz (source: compiz): OpenGL window and compositing manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2 (natty), package size 5 kB, installed size 52 kB | 18:08 |
| tensorpudding | rly: well, there doesn't seem to be OpenCL tools in the software center | 18:08 |
| aeon-ltd | Guest35962: there you go | 18:08 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: I mean Visual effects | 18:08 |
| rly | What is the initialization file for a graphical session on default Ubuntu 11.04 (e.g. .gnomerc/.profile/.bashrc/...)? | 18:09 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> What is compiz? Where I must find it? | 18:09 |
| tensorpudding | rly: i'm not sure about that one | 18:09 |
| tensorpudding | rly: why do you ask? | 18:10 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: right click on desktop > change desktop back.. > Visual effects change it to extra | 18:10 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok --)) | 18:11 |
| rinkukokiri | Yep... fdupes does NOT FIND DUPLICATES as I know i have seven in the base dir ~/Music and many many others in child dirs but fdupes only finds jpg's ... | 18:11 |
| PseudoGou | Hello | 18:11 |
| rly | tensorpudding: obviously because I want to know. | 18:11 |
| PseudoGou | What do you guys use for VLC integration in Mozilla Firefox? | 18:11 |
| rinkukokiri | and.. it also incorrectly identifies two files as duplicates when i KNOW they are not | 18:11 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> this mode is not work | 18:12 |
| rly | tensorpudding: 1) do not answer to questions you don't know the answer to 2) do not ask meta-questions. | 18:12 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: ok then open terminal and type sudo nvidia-xconfig | 18:12 |
| rinkukokiri | here's the output of fdupes... http://paste.ubuntu.com/621072/ doesn't seem to work coorectly. | 18:13 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Green color cheated | 18:13 |
| EagleScreen | !policykit | 18:13 |
| rinkukokiri | as you can tell from lines 12 and 13 which are two totally different songs, | 18:13 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok I am tring | 18:13 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Must I before to do commant "stop gdm"? | 18:14 |
| tensorpudding | rly: i only asked why you wanted to know, so that if what you wanted could be done in a different way that i know, i could advise you | 18:14 |
| rly | tensorpudding: I doubt that. | 18:14 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: You sure about that? This operates on a checksum basis. :-) | 18:15 |
| tensorpudding | rly: you may doubt it, but it's the truth | 18:15 |
| Nogoth | Hello everyone. First-time-linux-installer here :> I am trying to install ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso on my new ThinkPad L520. Problem is that both "Run Ubunto from this USB" and "Install Ubunto on a Hard Disk" ... freeze with the last line being "bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0" Hardwarespecs are here: http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=thinkpadfsbs.jpg . So far I figure its because of... | 18:15 |
| Nogoth | ...the integrated grafics it uses. Not shure if I did it correctly but I used xdriver=vesa and commands like that to try and force it to use a general driver. No luck so far. Help? :) | 18:15 |
| FloodBot1 | Nogoth: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:15 |
| tensorpudding | rly: gnome is started with gnome-session, you might check the manual for that one | 18:15 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: if you can't do that uncomment the xorg file and then restart, you get the command line, then login there and type sudo nvidia-xconfig then type sudo service gdm start | 18:15 |
| rly | tensorpudding: the user initilization file is a very basic part of the OS. | 18:15 |
| mark__ | I am going to listen to K3. | 18:15 |
| rly | tensorpudding: again, you are spewing garbage. | 18:15 |
| webPragmatist | anyone know if this is a decent way to install php-fpm http://groups.drupal.org/node/66898 | 18:15 |
| rly | tensorpudding: I said default Ubuntu. | 18:16 |
| rly | tensorpudding: that is Unity. | 18:16 |
| tensorpudding | rly: which is gnome, with the unity shell on it | 18:16 |
| rly | tensorpudding: perhaps. | 18:16 |
| tensorpudding | rly: the specific file for the session is /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session | 18:16 |
| pksadiq | !find php-fpm | 18:16 |
| ubottu | Package/file php-fpm does not exist in natty | 18:16 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I got in X next command now :WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. | 18:17 |
| Guest35962 | New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 18:17 |
| rly | tensorpudding: ok, that's useful. | 18:17 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: ok now type sudo service gdm start | 18:17 |
| alex-- | hi mark__ | 18:17 |
| webPragmatist | !find php5-fpm | 18:17 |
| ubottu | Found: php5-fpm | 18:17 |
| `Allegro | Yes hi. | 18:17 |
| `Allegro | Id like some help. | 18:17 |
| mark__ | You are all a bunch of dirty socialists! | 18:17 |
| alex-- | `Allegro: with what? | 18:17 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> sorry I now in gdm | 18:17 |
| webPragmatist | man i need to switch to fpm on my other server | 18:17 |
| rly | mark__: more like capitalists. | 18:17 |
| pksadiq | !find php?-fpm | 18:18 |
| oCean | mark__: please stay on topic | 18:18 |
| ubottu | Package/file php-fpm does not exist in natty | 18:18 |
| rly | mark__: hello troll. | 18:18 |
| `Allegro | alex--: | 18:18 |
| mark__ | Hello Alex. | 18:18 |
| monaDeveloper | hey fols | 18:18 |
| `Allegro | It keeps saying no root system defined when I try and install | 18:18 |
| monaDeveloper | folks* | 18:18 |
| rinkukokiri | Corey, wow... seems ubuntu has problems copying files from one drive to another then | 18:18 |
| `Allegro | Im not sure what that means | 18:18 |
| mark__ | If I want to listen music on Youtube, (I am using Mozilla Firefox) it doesn’t work. | 18:18 |
| pksadiq | oCean: why shouldn't the bot have the idea to expand common regex? | 18:18 |
| SinnerNyx | I'm using Ubuntu. I'd like to make one of my network cards start offline, but still be setup for dhcp so that I can just type "ifup eth1" and it will activate | 18:18 |
| nopf | well, again the question: if i press the suspend button or activate suspend by some other means on 11.04, where is defined what the 'suspend' actiondoes, in which component/daemon/whatever? | 18:18 |
| SinnerNyx | erm sorry Ubuntu-Server | 18:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | `Allegro, it means you didn't specify a parition for "/" aka the root directory. | 18:19 |
| monaDeveloper | there is a website I'm trying to access (educational) that's developed using microsoft stuff and it requires me to use IE and WMP | 18:19 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: Unlikely. :-) | 18:19 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: md5sum the two files, does it spit out the same? | 18:19 |
| `Allegro | I thought I did D: | 18:19 |
| `Allegro | How do I fix this issue? | 18:19 |
| monaDeveloper | is there a terminal or an online thing that I can over come this obstacle without switching to windows | 18:19 |
| rinkukokiri | Corey, i say that because on my mybook the files work.. after i copied them to my local filesystem they don't work | 18:19 |
| rinkukokiri | so yes, ubuntu has problems copying files from one drive to another. | 18:20 |
| oCean | pksadiq: No idea, maybe ask in #ubuntu-bots-team | 18:20 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: How did you do the copy? | 18:20 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: I've had no issues doing similar things via scp and / or rsync. | 18:20 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I will be to do next step: 1) stop gdm 2) sudo nvidia-xconfig 3) xorg-configure 4) gdm start Ok or not? | 18:20 |
| pksadiq | oCean: I thought you where one of them , sorry | 18:20 |
| rinkukokiri | Corey, i right click > copy, right click > paste | 18:20 |
| kakashi_ | I am able to ping the ip, but not use ssh | 18:20 |
| G00053 | #cmsgs | 18:20 |
| monaDeveloper | I have moonlight lib installed as it requires silverlight as well | 18:20 |
| kakashi_ | what might be the problem | 18:20 |
| oCean | pksadiq: a bot? | 18:20 |
| oCean | pksadiq: I said -bots-team, not -ops :) | 18:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest35962, FYI you don't actually have to stop GDM to run nvidia-xconfig - it won't matter if it's running or not. | 18:21 |
| oCean | pksadiq: there is a slight difference :) | 18:21 |
| pksadiq | oCean: I mean one of the bot customizing team | 18:21 |
| oCean | pksadiq: ah, nope, I'm not | 18:21 |
| monaDeveloper | any idea? | 18:21 |
| webPragmatist | pksadiq: guess it's not on lts | 18:22 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: 1) sudo nvidia-xconfig 2) sudo service gdm start if that don't works then next 1) Xorg -configure | 18:22 |
| monaDeveloper | there is a website I'm trying to access (educational) that's developed using microsoft stuff and it requires me to use IE, WMP, and silverlight | 18:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | pksadiq, Guest35962 for the "Xorg -configure" you DO need to stop GDM | 18:23 |
| monaDeveloper | is there a terminal or an online thing that I can over come this obstacle without switching to windows | 18:23 |
| `Allegro | So like | 18:23 |
| pksadiq | !find php5-fpm lucid | 18:23 |
| ubottu | Package/file php5-fpm does not exist in lucid | 18:23 |
| pksadiq | ZykoticK9: he is already at commandline | 18:23 |
| `Allegro | How do I define a root file system | 18:23 |
| monaDeveloper | I've moonlight installed also using opera | 18:23 |
| jpmut | Are there any bandwitch monitoring software with there own proper GUI interface and "smoother" graphs? | 18:23 |
| xangua | monaDeveloper: moonlight pluguin is only for mozilla i believe | 18:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | jpmut, personally I'm a fan of gkrellm, but it's pretty old-school by modern standards | 18:24 |
| xskydevilx | I'm trying to decide whether to Install Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.10, but I was wonder if it's possible to downgrade Compiz to 0.8.6 on Natty? | 18:24 |
| xangua | and it doesn't support all the charcteristics of silverlight | 18:24 |
| nimbiotics | While trying to install GIMP, im getting a 'Package dependencies cannot be resolved' error. Full message at http://paste.ubuntu.com/620967/. How can I fix this? TIA! | 18:24 |
| monaDeveloper | xangua: no it works on opera as well | 18:24 |
| xangua | monaDeveloper: didin't know that :O | 18:25 |
| monaDeveloper | xangua: so you knew | 18:25 |
| pksadiq | webPragmatist: only a few files there http://ppa.launchpad.net/brianmercer/php/ubuntu/pool/main/p/php5/ why couldn't you install manually? | 18:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | monaDeveloper, <just a comment> but if the site you are visiting requires Moonlight -- it sucks. Best of luck though. | 18:25 |
| Guest35962 | <ZykoticK9> When I must do the command. If my video mode after reboot go to command line or other case? | 18:26 |
| Guest35962 | <ZykoticK9> "Xorg -configure" | 18:26 |
| webPragmatist | pksadiq: package updates? | 18:26 |
| monaDeveloper | <ZykoticK9> yup | 18:26 |
| Nogoth | No Ideas regarding my ... hickup? :| | 18:26 |
| webPragmatist | add-apt-repository ppa:brianmercer/php << is that a real command | 18:26 |
| === JGJones is now known as Nintendo | ||
| Pici | webPragmatist: Yes. You'll need sudo in front of it though | 18:27 |
| webPragmatist | Pici: uh? i tried that | 18:27 |
| HyperShock | what is the best way to fix all the association (mime type) issues in one big go, that is caused by the 11.04 update? been putting up with things since the big upgrade, finally tired of it. example: open things from my download manager doesn't work, neither does going to the download folder from the context menu (downthemall extension), other example, I used getdeb.net and clicking the install link doesn't activate software | 18:27 |
| HyperShock | center, i have to download, then nautilus to the download the folder and double click. anyone have these problems and have got a solution? | 18:27 |
| webPragmatist | Pici: do i have to have some aptitude "extras" package or something | 18:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest35962, sorry I don't have any "real" suggestions for your issue - you might want to check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log after a failed GUI reboot (perhaps pastebin the output?) to see what's causing the error. | 18:27 |
| OctoByte | webPragmatist: What do you get when you try that command? | 18:28 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I made command nvidia-xconfig and I see new file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. But if I make reboot I will be in command line again | 18:28 |
| webPragmatist | sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found | 18:28 |
| sombra | !lee 1600 | 18:28 |
| webPragmatist | maybe not lucid? | 18:28 |
| === Nintendo is now known as JGjones | ||
| OctoByte | Guest35962: sudo gdm start | 18:28 |
| === JGjones is now known as JGJones | ||
| ZykoticK9 | webPragmatist, i seem to recall add-apt-repository being in Lucid (could be wrong) | 18:28 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: ok, now login to command line and try the commands there itself , ok? first type sudo service gdm start | 18:29 |
| Pici | webPragmatist: I believe it was apt-add-repository in that release. | 18:29 |
| S_A | Hi! how to start dhcp server in verbose mode ? | 18:29 |
| webPragmatist | Pici: no | 18:29 |
| webPragmatist | lucid must have a trimed down aptitude | 18:29 |
| jpmut | Zykotick9, that's seems to be better than Console-interfaces still. If it's old-school though, then what are the new software? | 18:29 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok but I only begin reboot after reboot I cann't write to the chat | 18:29 |
| S_A | i am getting some error while strating but do not know what error is tghere | 18:29 |
| eyadof | hi why team viewer show a black screen when connect to ubuntu | 18:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | jpmut, i guess conky would be the "new-school" replacement ;) | 18:30 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I using X's Smuxi | 18:30 |
| webPragmatist | ppa:brianmercer/php << how does it know that that is launchpad? | 18:30 |
| webPragmatist | out of shear curiousity | 18:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | webPragmatist, ppa = launchpad | 18:30 |
| Pici | webPragmatist: Its part of the python-software-properties package, not aptitude. And that package is available in lucid. | 18:30 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: ok, do you know to use command line ? use irssi IRC client then, it will work there :) | 18:30 |
| peewee22 | quit | 18:31 |
| webPragmatist | Pici: ah thanks… ill just add the source manually then | 18:31 |
| jpmut | Zykotick9, thank you! Just what I needed! | 18:32 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: or just note the commands first login to command line then 1) sudo service gdm start if some errors occur and goes back to command line , then type 1) Xorg -configure | 18:32 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> Ok It good recomendation | 18:32 |
| pksadiq | Guest35962: Xorg -configure will tell you what to do next, ok? | 18:33 |
| Guest35962 | <pksadiq> I begin and close templorary the chat | 18:33 |

| brown_fern | losty: Yes, I've noticed formating discrepancies between Microsoft Word and Open Office. I don't know of any work around for this problem though. I have some documents with lots of formating, and most of it translates well, but what doesn't is nerve racking. :-/ | 18:39 |
| gkx | coz_, nothing I do seems to work at all. | 18:39 |
| Lukas | not yet | 18:39 |
| gkx | It gives me a command line with all the things that it does when I shut it off. | 18:39 |
| coz_ | gkx, ok you can try rebooting and holding down the left shift key until you get to the grub menu,, then hit "e" and add nomodeset just before quiet splash in the kernel boot stanza | 18:39 |
| Lukas | but i think i will do it now | 18:39 |

| gkx | coz_, also, regarding restarting, I didn't see your other message. :P | 18:53 |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: do the same above steps with the driver nvidia-current, I hope that would help you | 18:53 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> Yes I go to command line then tried gdm start stop startx .... Then I made comman Xorg -configure and got error: "EE intel(0); no kernel modesettings driver detected" | 18:53 |

| dgags | hi folks, quick question, I am running ubuntu 10.10 server, what is the command line equivalent to the GUI updater? | 18:54 |
| coz_ | gkx, hmm,, then I am puzzled at this point,, i never reccoment an upgrade from one version to another symply because troubleshooting is more difficult and even more so with 10.10 to 11.04 because of the major changes | 18:54 |
| jpmut | Zykotick9, lol I just found out that the built-in System Monitor has a graph for Bandwidth too. | 18:54 |
| sidd | hi | 18:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | dgags, "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" would be the full GUI exquivalant | 18:54 |
| coz_ | gkx, if possible,, I would install fresh to be sure these issues are indeed a result of the upgrade | 18:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | jpmut, true ;) | 18:55 |
| gkx | coz_, that's what I did earlier today | 18:55 |
| dgags | ZykoticK9: Thanks a ton. Much appreciated. | 18:55 |
| coz_ | gkx, clean install? | 18:55 |
| gkx | clean install of 10.10 | 18:55 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> I primery see Nvidia in menu->Additional Drivers | 18:55 |
| coz_ | gkx, oh well I meant clean install for 11.04 | 18:55 |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: in terminal type sudo lshw -C video , does it shows Nvidia? or intel? | 18:55 |
| gkx | coz_, yeah but that means I have to get an iso of 11.04 | 18:56 |
| * gkx groans | 18:56 | |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: Try this please sudo lshw -C video | 18:56 |

| coz_ | gkx, you will get to a point where you choose which evnironment you want to install,,, just use the arrows to scroll and the SPACE bare to tick the box NOT the enter key | 18:57 |
| dgags | ZykoticK9: pardon my doubt, thanks again. | 18:57 |
| coz_ | gtk it will boot into the install procedure | 18:58 |
| gkx | coz_, I don't understand, though. How do I start the ISO, if not from a live CD? | 18:58 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> I see two point 1- product: nVidia Corporation 2- product: Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller | 18:58 |
| jrib | nimbiotics: pastebin: apt-cache policy gimp | 18:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | nimbiotics, i'm guessing you have some 3rd party repo that is interfering. If not try running "sudo apt-get update" and try your install again. | 18:58 |
| coz_ | gkx, well o nce you download that mini cd ,, burn it to disk,, but check the md5sums first just in case, on the iso image | 18:58 |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: ok, then uninstall your 173 dirver and install nvidia-current and repeat the steps | 18:58 |
| mingmen | 9283 | 18:59 |
| sidd | hi | 18:59 |
| coz_ | gkx, then reboot with that cd and you will be directed on what to do ,, it is not difficult | 18:59 |
| mingmen | how can i meke the menu bar transparent | 18:59 |
| mingmen | ? | 18:59 |
| coz_ | gkx, the only thing you have to remember is when you get the "blue" list of environments,, to use the arrows to scroll the list,, and the SPACE bar to tick the box | 18:59 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> I done the steps 1 day ago | 19:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest21095, i'm not sure what the support is like for these hybrid-nvidia/intel cards. What card is it? "lspci | grep -i vga" to find out. | 19:00 |

| coz_ | gkx, rather Ubuntu desktop | 19:00 |
| coz_ | gkx, I believe it is listed as ubuntu desktop in stead of gnome desktop | 19:00 |

| mzuverink | ZykoticK9, chow username? | 19:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | mzuverink, "chown username:username file" | 19:04 |
| kLown | if i install 11.04 on a primary drive, after installing win7 on a secondary drive, will grub pick up the two operating systems and allow me to boot between them? | 19:04 |
| mzuverink | ZykoticK9, dir too | 19:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | mzuverink, and it it's owned by root - you need sudo. What are you actually changing the owner of? | 19:05 |
| celthunder | kLown, it should and if it doesn't it's not hard to add a second os | 19:05 |
| jrib | mzuverink: changing ownership of certain files will break your system. What files are you chowning? | 19:05 |
| mzuverink | ZykoticK9, a dir of .mp3s | 19:05 |
| kLown | celthunder: Is this going to cause an issue since the mbr is on the second drive (id assume)? | 19:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | mzuverink, "chown -r user:user dir/" then | 19:05 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> The laptop samsung RC710 I don't open it | 19:05 |
| mzuverink | ZykoticK9, thank you! | 19:06 |
| celthunder | kLown, grub will ask you where your mbr is | 19:06 |
| Guest21095 | <pksadiq> I can send log of command sudo lshw -C video | 19:06 |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: did you first checked with none of the drivers installed? if so I think you need to install nvidia-current what does the line product: is shownin sudo lshw -C video ? | 19:07 |
| nimbiotics | ZykoticK9: I tried that and also booting in recovery mode and fixing broken packages. any ideas? | 19:08 |
| dforthman | Ok, so I have to go to "Previous linux versions" then any of those work with 11.04 running, but the main linux in grub won't load the userspace splashscreen | 19:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | nimbiotics, sorry no. Good luck. | 19:08 |

| nets | hi all! plz a quick example how do i use makefile command | 19:09 |
| kLown | celthunder: when it asks me to create a partition, do i mark it as logical, or primary? | 19:10 |
| th0r | nets: you just type make | 19:10 |
| celthunder | kLown, generally primary | 19:10 |
| celthunder | nets, use a text editor? then make when it's how you want? | 19:10 |
| kLown | celthunder: thanks, thought so, but I've never dual booted windows and linux before | 19:10 |
| celthunder | kLown, how many partitions are you making on the drive you get 4 primary | 19:10 |
| kLown | celthunder: just one, the entire drive. | 19:11 |
| nets | i dont get it:( | 19:11 |
| celthunder | kLown, ok then yeah primary | 19:11 |
| celthunder | nets, Makefile is just a text file the make command uses...so you can just use a text editor on it | 19:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | kLown, technically that will probably give you 2 partitions (if you use a swap partition, by default Ubuntu does) - but primary is certainly the way to go. | 19:12 |
| kLown | is a swap partition required? | 19:12 |
| celthunder | kLown, no | 19:12 |
| kLown | im using a 500gig hdd for this install. | 19:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | kLown, no - but highly recommended | 19:12 |
| pksadiq | Guest21095: if you need to install nvidia-current you don't need to stop gdm but you need to remove all the previous nvidia packages installed | 19:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | kLown, required for hibernation | 19:12 |
| brown_fern | kLown: Perhaps you already know that there can be only 4 primary partitions, one of those 4 can be used as an extended partition to then be utilized and subdivided for logical partitions. | 19:13 |
| kLown | brown_fern: you just confused me really bad :P | 19:13 |
| nets | okey. i think i get it , so if i want to install something how do i do it then? | 19:13 |
| === napster__ is now known as napster | ||
| celthunder | kLown, Zykotik9 you can make a swapfile later in your / partition if you need it...I've not had a swap file/partition in 2 years works fine | 19:13 |
| nets | apt-get doest work | 19:13 |
| nets | *doesnt | 19:14 |
| celthunder | nets, generally ./configure make's a Makefile then make then make install | 19:14 |
| kLown | Normally if I create a swap file now, from a 500gig drive, what size should it be? | 19:14 |
| bastidrazor | kLown: the same size as your RAM. | 19:14 |
| th0r | kLown: depends on the amount of ram | 19:14 |
| kLown | k, so 8 gigs. thanks. | 19:14 |
| celthunder | kLown, how much ram do yo uhave...if you have over 2GB generally 128MB is good enough unless you're doing video editing or something that's going to take all your ram up | 19:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | bastidrazor, actually "slightly" larger then RAM if you want hibernate ;) | 19:15 |
| oCean | nets: read here how to compile software: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware | 19:15 |
| nets | thanks | 19:15 |
| celthunder | kLown, yeah you can get by with no swap or a very small one with 8GB depending on what you're doing with it | 19:15 |
| nets | i just wanted to search on google | 19:15 |
| nets | cuz im a retard | 19:15 |
| celthunder | nets, what're you trying to install? | 19:15 |
| kLown | as long as I can add it later, I'll skip it for now | 19:15 |
| nets | cowpatty | 19:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | kLown, swap file != swap partition, just sayin' | 19:16 |
| celthunder | ZykoticK9 he shouldn't ever hit swap anyway | 19:16 |
| inktri | where is the httpd home directory located if you install apache via the repository? | 19:16 |
| celthunder | inktri, /var/www? | 19:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, of course it is possible for advanced users to run without swap, but it makes life a lot easier if it's there... just sayin' | 19:17 |
| bastidrazor | celthunder: swap has more uses than just extra RAM.. like hibernation | 19:17 |
| celthunder | bastidrazor other than hibernation and extra ram? | 19:18 |

| yaaar | wow that's really stupid. why doesn't visudo respect either $VISUAL or $EDITOR ? | 19:24 |
| celthunder | yaaar: VISUAL needs to be set to vim | 19:24 |
| ahnfelt | it still shows when I put the cursor in the upper left corner | 19:25 |
| yaaar | celthunder: it's set to vim too | 19:25 |
| celthunder | yaaar: idk then... | 19:25 |
| ahnfelt | coz_: but what does autohide have to do with not showing the side bar? | 19:25 |
| pksadiq | yaaar: might be you have to export them after defining | 19:25 |
| celthunder | yaaar: actually if both are set to vim and it gives you nano that's disturbing | 19:25 |
| yaaar | pksadiq: they show up when i echo them | 19:25 |
| pim_ | Hello when I use 'mount' ubuntu will complain that mount: can't find /media/tempmount in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Why is this? Standard unix behaviour is that it will mount it at /media/tempmount | 19:26 |
| ahnfelt | coz_: I'd like to not show it - not automatically hide it (well I want that too, but that's the default behaviour) | 19:26 |
| coz_ | ahnfelt, well if you mean the large Launcher bar in Unity on the left screen edge,, that is the setting to adjust its behavior | 19:26 |
| celthunder | pim_, well add a rule for what to mount to /media/tempmount in /etc/fstab | 19:26 |
| ahnfelt | coz_: hmm, but I'm still not sure how to make it *never* show | 19:27 |
| coz_ | ahnfelt, well if it is set to automatic hide it will not show up unless you call it by cursor in left upper corner | 19:27 |

| coz_ | ahnfelt, ah I see, i dont know of a way to "remove" the launcher however | 19:28 |
| wmarone | goddamnit | 19:28 |
| yaaar | pim_: you can only mount with one argument if the fs is in the fstab ...otherwise you have to say what and where | 19:28 |
| ahnfelt | coz_: the problem is that I constantly hit the upper right corner, and it's driving me nuts :) | 19:28 |

| pim_ | I know how mount works. I did: sudo mount -o someiso.iso /media/tempmount | 19:28 |
| kLown | k, I installed 11.04, but windows bootloader is coming up, how to I fix this, and make it grub? | 19:29 |
| celthunder | jnlsnl_, .bashrc .xinitrc .profile depending when you want it executed | 19:29 |
| pim_ | on slackware and other linuxes it will mount this way... | 19:29 |
| wmarone | celthunder: it's whatever grub is available in 10.04, which doesn't use menu.lst last I checked. And there should be at least 4 entries. | 19:29 |
| wmarone | but even if I hold the shift keys it's just booting the same broken kernel over and over | 19:29 |
| oCean | pim_: you need the loop option mount -o loop blah.iso /blah | 19:29 |
| ahnfelt | coz_: Heh | 19:29 |
| celthunder | pim_, no it won't unless you added the entries to /etc/fstab | 19:29 |
| jnlsnl_ | celthunder its basically: sudo stop udev, then sudo start udev ...fixes a kernel bug that will spam DRDY error | 19:30 |

| html_inprogress | oCean, thats why im here ,silly ... i no nothing of a atom cup, or a netbook, but i do know theres a ton of ubuntu flavors out there, im not sure what one | 19:39 |
| pim_ | oCean doesn't -o do loop? | 19:39 |
| winmutt | celthunder: come again? | 19:39 |
| celthunder | pim_, no -o lets you set other stuff you could do bind loop etc | 19:39 |
| celthunder | winmutt, snmp...you only get 1 root server ...do you have more than 1 | 19:39 |
| oCean | pim_: in any linux -o is just a switch to the mount command. A switch that requires an option, such as rw, noexec or loop | 19:40 |
| celthunder | that would cause it to not work...and break it quite bad | 19:40 |

| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, I think some of my stuff broke from the earlier tutorials. It froze on the dhclient | 20:13 |
| perscitus | I want to remove window titlebar when it is maximize from top panel, how do i do that? | 20:14 |
| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, I wanted to run those commands on my host right? | 20:14 |
| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, no...on the guest | 20:14 |
| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, the host already HAS an ip...you want the client to get one..the host is also wireless...the client's the one on eth0 | 20:14 |
| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, Well, I tried the ifconfig eth0 up on the guest and it didn't register the eth0 device | 20:14 |
| robin0800 | perscitus: not sure you can in unity only in classic | 20:14 |
| pim_ | is there any way to restart the graphical session? | 20:15 |
| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, sudo ifconfig -a do you have an eth0 | 20:15 |
| pim_ | so something like xstart but then restart? | 20:15 |
| celthunder | pim_, /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 20:15 |
| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, Huh... I guess it is coming up as eth2??? | 20:15 |
| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, ok so use eth2 then | 20:16 |
| pim_ | it says failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager what does that mean? | 20:17 |
| pim_ | nothing else, just that | 20:17 |
| celthunder | pim_, what display manager are you using | 20:17 |
| pim_ | standard one, i presume that is gdm? | 20:18 |
| semitones | Hi, I'm following this guid to stream music from one computer to another: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/582-stream-music-wirelessely-using-pulseaudio-server-device-chooser | 20:18 |
| semitones | it won't work for me, but one of the comments says that opening two ports allowed it to work for him. How do I open up ports in ubuntu? | 20:18 |
| celthunder | pim_, i think so | 20:18 |
| djazz | celthunder: reboot seemed to fix it, now it download the missing packages | 20:18 |
| semitones | (one computer is ubuntu 10.10, the other is lubuntu 10.04) | 20:18 |
| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, The eth2 now has an eth2 inet6 address, but I don't believe it has an actual IP yet. | 20:18 |
| Zzarkc-20 | celthunder, At least I wasn't able to run my apt-get update | 20:19 |
| djazz | bluetooth works with 10.04! it dont in 11.04 or linuxmint 11 :D | 20:19 |
| celthunder | semitones iptables -A -p tcp -m tcp --dport <port> --tcp-flags FIN,SYN,RST,ACK SYN -j ACCEPT | 20:20 |
| celthunder | semitones may need to change tcp to udp | 20:20 |
| semitones | thanks | 20:20 |
| perscitus | robin0800, what is in classic? | 20:20 |
| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, uhm...ok...can you give me the output in a pastebin to ifconfig -a please | 20:21 |
| semitones | celthunder: can I do two ports at once, or just run that once for each port | 20:21 |
| celthunder | semitones once for each port | 20:21 |
| celthunder | semitones check if it worked with iptables -L | 20:21 |
| semitones | it says "bad argument tcp" trying with udp | 20:21 |
| celthunder | semitones i may have made a typo then...tcp should work.. | 20:22 |
| celthunder | even if it's not what you need | 20:22 |
| pim_ | celthunder any idea why gdm won't start? | 20:22 |
| semitones | celthunder: I think it doesn't like the -p tcp part | 20:22 |

| celthunder | Zzarkc-20, shared clipboard between host/guest probably | 20:23 |

| bluethundr_ | I see that libkrb53 is a kerberos library .. can someone clue me in on the best way to find out which package it's in? | 20:31 |

| szal | bluethundr_: apt-file is your friend ^^ | 20:32 |
| Pici | bluethundr_: Two ways: apt-cache search libkrb53 or install apt-file and do sudo apt-file update and then apt-file search libkrb53 | 20:32 |

| PeterNL | Ubulindy: say I wnat to prefer the wifi dns over the wired dns, but use the wired dns when there is no wifi, hoe do I do that? | 21:14 |
| Ubulindy | PeterNL just disconnect one or the other or edit the connection where I said | 21:15 |
| pim_ | Why is there a 'install release' button in the upper left corner of my screen? I already installed ubuntu. Is it to finalise the installation? | 21:15 |

| vpavpa | @ mjr4189 I have regularly issues with icons not working too it's a bit annoying. i have ubuntu natty 11.04 | 21:19 |
| inhumangeek | Hi there. I've been playing with a few things and ended up installing Ubuntu 11.04 three times this week (don't ask - partition errors!). This last install doesn't seem to offer my RAID0 array in the "places" menu - every other installation has had it, and if I boot from the Live CD it's there - any ideas why it's not there in my main install?! Thanks. | 21:19 |
| Pici | proSI: #xchat would be a better place to ask. | 21:19 |
| PeterNL | Ubulindy: And then I can enter a static dns server, but I don't want that! | 21:19 |
| mjr4189 | vpavpa: yeah, its been like this for a few days, even after some restarts | 21:19 |
| Ubulindy | PerterNL once inside you will see tabs, tick and untick the dhcp and manual, and you will dns options | 21:19 |
| proSI | ty Pici | 21:19 |
| vpavpa | @ mjr4189 sometimes it works after a few tries or 10-20 seconds sometimes i don't have the patience so i reboot | 21:20 |
| mjr4189 | vpavpa: very annoying, im guessing its just a bug then. unless someone else has any idea. | 21:20 |
| brown_fern | mjr4189: Yes, try clicking on a nearby area and then hover the cursor back over the area you in fact want to effect. I know it's not ideal but it works for me. | 21:20 |
| SolarBoom | Pici: how i can enable/disable php modules? | 21:20 |
| vpavpa | @ mjr4189 after reboot still not working? that's odd. what icon is it exactly? i had it like 10mn ago on the first icon on the top right | 21:21 |
| Ubulindy | PeterNL then I misunderstood, meaning, you can put any dns there, your isps's or for example opendns | 21:21 |
| Pici | SolarBoom: Uh.. Modify /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ? | 21:21 |
| syst3mw0rm | #hacker | 21:21 |
| mjr4189 | vpavpa: its my home folder | 21:21 |
| PeterNL | Ubulindy: the only thing I want to set is that when BOTH wifi and wired are connected (with different dhcp servers telling me about different dns servers) to use the one provided by the wireless dhcp server | 21:21 |
| vpavpa | @ mjr4189 have you tried creating a launcher from the desktop? command is nautilus | 21:21 |
| Ubulindy | then leave it blank set to auto and let your router handle it | 21:22 |
| mjr4189 | vpavpa: i have run nautilus from terminal and it worked, ill try making a launcher as well | 21:22 |
| brown_fern | mjr4189: The problem I was addressing is very much like yours but happens to me on the task bar. | 21:22 |
| vpavpa | @ mjr4189 I think it may be related to the graphics drivers but i'm not sure. do you have a graphic card? embedded? | 21:23 |
| mjr4189 | brown_fern vpavpa: i made a new launcher on the desktop and then dragged it to the unity bar. so for some reason its just accessing the home folder is a problem | 21:24 |
| === brechdurchfall is now known as brechdurchfall|a | ||

| azert | what not allowing to do multi task ? | 21:47 |
| rinkukokiri | azert because apt-get locks the installation directory to PREVENT ISSUES | 21:47 |

| proSI | except that, ubuntu is working flawless for me. :D | 21:48 |
| guntbert | azert: thats the way it works, you really don't need to run upgrade on a server so often | 21:48 |
| Ahoalton | I have the Latest Ubuntu CD can I just put it in and upgrade from 10.04? | 21:48 |
| Pici | azert: its not designed to allow multiple processes to modify dpkg at the same tme. | 21:48 |
| rinkukokiri | OctoByte, i get rc libubuntuone-1.0-1 | 21:49 |

| erkan^ | !fonts | 21:49 |
| Craig` | ashmew2: no i can't do that | 21:49 |

| afeijo | OctoByte, I have a vmware guest from another server that I need to run at this server | 21:49 |
| ukr_888 | I got a weird NFS prob if someone wants to look at.. | 21:49 |
| guntbert | Ahoalton: did you read the links? you can upgrade over the network or with the alternate CD | 21:49 |
| Craig` | ashmew2: i cannot simply do `iso2opl foo.iso bar dvd` -- so what you said is wrong. | 21:50 |
| guntbert | afeijo: vbox can work with vmdk too | 21:50 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: You want to remove winXP and keep ubuntu? But you installed ubuntu inside winXP? | 21:50 |
| Craig` | ashmew2: you see, the output is http://pastie.org/2034334 | 21:50 |
| OctoByte | ukr_888: NTFS? | 21:50 |
| ukr_888 | No NFS (Network File System) | 21:51 |
| afeijo | guntbert, I'll try | 21:51 |
| ashmew2 | Craig` : wheres the output | 21:51 |
| OctoByte | ukr_888: Oh, whats the problem? | 21:51 |
| guntbert | afeijo: and vbox support is in #vbox :) | 21:52 |
| rootarindam | OcoByte: well my knowledge is poor but I thought I did so ......but on the other hand when I'm booting my machine it is giving the option for xp or ubuntu so I'm confused | 21:52 |
| azert | ok thanks | 21:52 |
| a_ | I am very new to here | 21:52 |

| moozee3e | hi. is there any English - English Dictionary in ubuntu softwares.. (to work ofline!) also with pronunciation? a very professional one?? | 21:52 |
| proSI | moozee3e google is your friend? | 21:53 |
| Ahoalton | I didn't get the alternate CD | 21:53 |
| Ahoalton | just the CD | 21:53 |
| ukr_888 | OctoByte: even though the exports point to different directories and they are mounted on different directories | 21:53 |
| moozee3e | proSI: actually i'm not online all the time! most of the time i have no internet conneciton!! | 21:54 |
| guntbert | !alternate | Ahoalton | 21:54 |
| ubottu | Ahoalton: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 21:54 |
| guntbert | Ahoalton: but the easiest way is over the network | 21:54 |

| juank_prada | where can I find the new features that ubuntu 11.10 will have? | 21:55 |

| proSI | moozee3e, http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/105 | 21:55 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: Well, if you installed inside winXP, that is what is supposed to happen. You are now dual booting winXP and ubuntu. | 21:55 |
| guntbert | Ahoalton: that is a very good reason, but you will still need the alternate CD | 21:55 |
| Ahoalton | ahh, dammit | 21:56 |
| Ahoalton | I | 21:56 |
| Ahoalton | I'll just make a new VM | 21:56 |

| proSI | moozee3e, from Yahoo Answer. Go to System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager. It will have a looong list of available downloads. You can narrow it down by category on the left. I have seen several dictionaries listed there. | 21:57 |
| ukr_888 | Any suggestions? Or places I can look? | 21:57 |
| moozee3e | proSI: thanks dude. i have to give it a try1 | 21:57 |
| moozee3e | ! | 21:57 |
| proSI | no problem :) | 21:58 |
| moozee3e | proSI: but the article was written in 2009 ! i dno't know if it works or not! but thankx anyway! | 21:58 |

| n1xNc0d3 | hi, what is the alternative for libgnucrypto-java in Ubuntu Natty? | 22:08 |
| rootarindam | OctoByte: Honestly, I don't remember...............I went to ubuntu download page, clicked the download button and followed the instrucion | 22:08 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: But you were in windows when you installed ubuntu? | 22:09 |
| rootarindam | OctoByte: yes | 22:09 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: I guess you can check in your add/remove programs if you see WUBI anywhere, just to be sure | 22:09 |
| rootarindam | OctoByte: add/remove in xp? | 22:10 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: yep | 22:10 |

| Kenty22 | ukr_888: no I did not touch it at all, I just restarded the PC, thinking about it though, before this started hapenning, on one of the loads, it said that the xorg failed to initialise and prompted me to restart it | 22:13 |
| Kenty22 | which I did, and then it hanged, I had to hard-restart and this started hapenning | 22:13 |
| OctoByte | rootarindam: Well, you can only install from inside windows using wubi AFAIK, but I was just asking just to make sure. I'm positive that you used wubi to install but you can never be too sure. If you check your add/remove programs in XP you should se "Ubuntu" listed. That's how you know you used wubi. | 22:13 |
| rootarindam | OctoByte: also few days ago when I opened xp after 1.5 months I observed it has become extremely slow........ubuntu runs fast though | 22:13 |
| ukr_888 | Kenty22: What kind of video card you have? Using any third party drivers? | 22:14 |

| rootarindam | OctoByte: yes I saw ubuntu in add/remove | 22:14 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: nvidia drivers, proprietary ones, recommended for distro, didnt install anything before the reload though, so it shouldnt be me installing something new | 22:14 |

| brown_fern | iLLf8d: What is the URL (web address) on that fix? | 22:20 |
| bcj | Is this a known issue and is there a work-around? | 22:21 |
| SalahGo | There was program that could manage the startup programs through terminal, anyone knows its name? | 22:21 |
| ukr_888 | you can google for adding a script to the startup. You can create your script in /etc/init.d/ directory and chmod +x the file | 22:21 |
| ukr_888 | then you can run update-rc.d <scriptname> I believe | 22:21 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: got it, I logged in | 22:21 |
| notNicolas | Hey. My notebook running 10.04 freezes when I unplug the power. Is this alarming? | 22:21 |

| SalahGo | ukr_888, i see, thx! ^^ | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | Milos_SD, the recommended driver for ubuntu is NOT on the nvidia site , some if those drivers won't work , open sustem admin/additional drivers and install the recommended driver | 22:21 |
| bcj | rinkukokiri: If it was a widespread thing, then you might have known about it anyway. | 22:22 |
| bcj | I'll try and find out when my chipset is | 22:22 |
| robbyrob_ | Can someone at least point me to a support forum where someone might be able to help me get 2 monitors running with SLi enabled? | 22:22 |
| Milos_SD | BluesKaj, Like I told you, it started doing that when I switched to bigger resolution. Drivers are working good. Is there a way to alocate system RAM to graphics card? | 22:23 |
| Milos_SD | that RAM I have a lot (8GB) | 22:23 |
| notNicolas | Is it possible that broken drivers are overcharging and wrecking my battery pack o_O | 22:23 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: I logged in on F2 window, shall I do what you said earlier about scripts? or was that for someone else? | 22:23 |
| ukr_888 | Kenty22: when you can manage to login or ssh into your machine do a sudo su so you will be permanent root for the session and type nvidia-update | 22:23 |
| bcj | It's "Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless WiFi Link 5100" | 22:23 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: command not found | 22:24 |
| OctoByte | Milos_SD: maybe you should turn down the resolution | 22:24 |
| ukr_888 | Kenty22: you may be able to update your nvidia driver using the nvidia-update command | 22:24 |
| Craig` | hey guys, i'm wanting to resize my main partition (/dev/sdc1) so that i have 50GiB free space (and then later allocate that to a new partition), am i doing everything correctly so far? http://pastie.org/2034527 .. i was following this guide, http://gotmarko.com/article/61/shrinking-a-partition-in-linux -- i just don't want to make any silly mistakes | 22:24 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: there is no such command available | 22:24 |
| brown_fern | iLLf8d: Thank you in advance, I'll be away from my keyboard for awhile. I'm glad that you found what you were looking for! | 22:25 |
| losty | not sure, but has anyone come across an issue with gwibber, whereby, you can't scroll using the arrow keys? (on 11.04) | 22:25 |
| Milos_SD | OctoByte, that is not the solution :) I don't want to use non-native resolution... | 22:25 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: only bug-report detector settings smi and xconfig | 22:25 |
| OctoByte | Craig': Do you have anything on that partition? OS, data? You really should back up before shrinking. | 22:25 |
| ukr_888 | Kenty22: ok let me see what I can dig up | 22:25 |
| EmuAlert | Is there any way to set multiple key combinations to the same shortcut? | 22:26 |
| Craig` | OctoByte: yes it's my main partition | 22:26 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: thank you | 22:26 |
| BluesKaj | Milos_SD, if they're using all the ram on the card then they're not working properly, I have the same card and there'no where tnear that much memory being used | 22:26 |
| Craig` | where can i back it up though? it's got around 1.5TiB worth of data | 22:26 |
| BluesKaj | bbl | 22:26 |
| OctoByte | Milos_SD: Looks like your gfx card can't handle it though... | 22:27 |
| Craig` | OctoByte: you see i'm using this program and it one of the arguments has to be the drive you want the output to be stored at, i was hoping i can just direct the output to where i execute the command but no said i could. | 22:27 |
| ashmew2 | Craig` : for the current directory , use the ./ | 22:27 |
| Craig` | ashmew2: yes i know that, i've told you that does not work. | 22:27 |
| Craig` | I know how you specify that, i was telling you that it wants a drive, it verifies it's arguments | 22:27 |
| ukr_888 | Kenty22: What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 22:28 |
| OctoByte | Milos_SD: Ohhhh, never mind, forget what i said | 22:28 |
| ashmew2 | hmm ok | 22:28 |
| Kenty22 | ukr_888: 10.04 LTS | 22:28 |
| Craig` | OctoByte: http://pastie.org/2034553 -- you see the second argument requires a drive, i didn't really want to specify a drive (as i don't want it on a different drive etc), do you have any idea how i could do this? | 22:29 |

| sdf_scp | i'm a new ubuntu user, and i have a problem with the program winscp. i can't rewrite a file oder copy a new file onto the ubuntu desktop. what should i do? i login with the admin account (and yes, in the ubuntu he's in the admin-group. | 22:47 |
| zelozelos | rickabillie: i saw that once when i logged out of a live cd once, when i rebooted it wanted a password/user. rebooted again but shutdown the sys them rebooted and it fixed it | 22:47 |
| rickabillie | I've noticed that they do of you say, load the prop vid drivers, then want to log out and log back in | 22:47 |
| KM0201 | sdf_scp: are you using sudo? | 22:47 |
| HelloWorldofTomo | sdf_scp: try #winscp | 22:47 |
| sdf_scp | @KM0201 i try it from my pc to the ubuntu desktop, i can not do sudo (windows) | 22:48 |
| zelozelos | rickabillie: thats when i discovered you can deselect the option to ask at login for a password under the users/groups | 22:48 |
| intrin | any ideas to why locate wont display folder that i know is there? after running updatedb? | 22:49 |
| notNicolas | Hey guys. I set up a dedicated ubuntu box with both 10.04 and 11.04 on it | 22:49 |
| rickabillie | zelozelos: thanks, that will be handy next time i'm logged in. | 22:50 |
| zelozelos | what is the name of the program that lets me set up a disk to automount at startup? | 22:51 |
| notNicolas | it's being a huge piece ocf crap | 22:52 |
| julie101010 | zelozelos: you can format your partition and add it in fstab | 22:52 |
| notNicolas | when I boot up the machine, the option for starting 10.04 appears twice | 22:52 |
| notNicolas | when I turn on 10.04, it has some problems then turns itself on in the command line | 22:53 |
| zelozelos | julie101010: yup aware of the hard way rofl. but im prone to messin up stuff like that i would prefer a gui | 22:53 |
| notNicolas | then if I wait for the monitor to go to sleep and I wake it up, it wakes up in the GUI mode | 22:53 |
| notNicolas | what the hell is going on | 22:53 |
| notNicolas | this thing has a mind of its own | 22:53 |
| julie101010 | notNicolas, look at your logs | 22:54 |
| julie101010 | dmesg could also help | 22:54 |
| brandon_ | thst doesnt sound like fun sounds like the makings of a bad day | 22:54 |
| notNicolas | On the positive side, I fixed that it was freezing when I unplugged the power. I just had to update ATI drivers. | 22:54 |
| nerdy_kid | I would like to have apt.ubuntu.com redirect to apt.marcoceppi.com, I think I just have to add a line to /etc/hosts? | 22:54 |
| sbarcteam | hi guys. | 22:54 |
| notNicolas | julie101010, is it normal that different OSes show up more than once in the list of OSes to boot when one starts up the computer? | 22:55 |
| julie101010 | zelozelos, it is not risky to add a partition to the fstab unless you really screw up bad | 22:55 |
| notNicolas | In the list I have like | 22:55 |
| sbarcteam | Is it a bad practice to install a system over a RAID based partition ? | 22:55 |
| notNicolas | linux (version of ubuntu 10.04) | 22:55 |
| julie101010 | notNicolas, it does the same on my system | 22:55 |
| notNicolas | well, are they both the same? | 22:55 |
| notNicolas | does it matter which one I choose? | 22:55 |
| Pici | nerdy_kid: If you're trying to use a different apt mirror, the preferred way would be to modify /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:55 |
| julie101010 | sbarcteam, it doesn't matter as long as it works :) | 22:55 |
| notNicolas | hoho | 22:56 |
| sbarcteam | julie101010, I am talking about good practice vs. bad one. | 22:56 |
| julie101010 | notNicolas, the default option is usually fine | 22:56 |
| julie101010 | it doesn't matter | 22:56 |
| notNicolas | Is it possible to easily rename them? | 22:56 |
| notNicolas | that way I can call one "Work" and "Home" or something | 22:56 |
| Kenty22 | Well... still there. Please someone help. When I login to ubuntu 10.04, it blinks black screen, and pops me back to the login screen | 22:56 |
| sbarcteam | julie101010, my idea is it would be bad to put stuff like swap, and other stuff on a RAID. but I'm open to hear arguments against my point of view. | 22:57 |
| sbarcteam | I mean it would be bad in case of disk failure, etc. | 22:57 |
| notNicolas | Kenty22, have you tried in text only mode? Maybe you will get a useful error message. | 22:57 |
| julie101010 | it is indeed pointless to install a swap partition on raid as swap partitions are already treated like raid 0 | 22:57 |
| zelozelos | they should add an option in the properties of a drive to check that will automount if presant or whatever | 22:58 |
| Kenty22 | notNicolas: I tried in tty2 and yeah I can login, but there are no error messages. | 22:58 |
| sbarcteam | julie101010, what do you mean "treated like raid 0" ?! | 22:58 |
| julie101010 | the system automatically fragments swap access across available partitions | 22:58 |
| notNicolas | Kenty22: Okay well, if google doesn't find your answer I'm too noob to help you any further, lol. | 22:58 |
| notNicolas | Maybe you can try switching the theme of it | 22:59 |
| ysis | Hi, how can I check which upstart services are currently running and which are set up to start at boot? | 22:59 |
| notNicolas | or other random options that appear at the bottom of the screen when you choose which user you want to login as | 22:59 |
| julie101010 | sbarcteam, and for corruption risks, they are lesser if you use RAID 2/5/10 | 22:59 |
| sbarcteam | julie101010, if you spread swap into several partitions you mean. | 22:59 |
| julie101010 | on different disks | 23:00 |
| sbarcteam | (naturally) | 23:00 |
| julie101010 | yes | 23:00 |
| zelozelos | Kenty22: try this, google on adding a user via command line, add a user then log into that user. if it works all you need to do is log into the orig user (one thats not) and delete its settings | 23:00 |
| sbarcteam | julie101010, so partitioning the RAID targetted disks into 2 pieces, say swap and the rest, is not a good idea ? | 23:00 |
| julie101010 | it would be fine sbarcteam | 23:01 |
| sbarcteam | (I mean swap as simple partition, and the rest as food for the RAID) | 23:01 |
| Kenty22 | zelozelos: I have 4 users on the system, 2 of which I never used before, all of them end up having the same symptoms | 23:01 |
| zelozelos | Kenty22: ahh | 23:01 |
| julie101010 | but there's one thing though sbarcteam... | 23:01 |
| sbarcteam | it would be more complicated to replace that hard disk. | 23:01 |
| sbarcteam | in case of failure. | 23:01 |
| julie101010 | sbarcteam, if you use one partition for swap on a disk that's part of an array, then it will reduce the overall performance if swap is used a lot | 23:02 |
| sbarcteam | swap off, remove from raid, add new disk, repartition, swapon, add to raid.... | 23:02 |
| julie101010 | but no problem with failure | 23:02 |
| sbarcteam | ok... | 23:02 |
| julie101010 | I think you should probably leave your swap on raid as you're currently set-up | 23:03 |
| nerdshell | how can I permanently change the name of my machine (host), I tried looking on the net? configured /etc/hostname, but it didn't work. | 23:03 |
| julie101010 | at least it balances disk access | 23:03 |
| Magnusson | can someone help me with a boot problem? whenever i start my computer, it gives me "input signal out of range, please adjust to 1680x1050 @60hz" and constantly tries to autoadjust itself. i've noticed this is only when the computer first starts, or when booting to linux | 23:03 |
| zelozelos | Kenty22: do you have stuff on that partition/system that you need 2 save, if so, login to live cd, access the drive, back them up, reinstall is the only thing i can suggest | 23:03 |
| sbarcteam | what kind of characteristic load does version control server impose ? I'm guessing lots of writes, some reads, and memory utilization for indexing, etc.... | 23:03 |
| julie101010 | nerdshell, the command is hostname | 23:04 |
| === phrostbite is now known as Guest38418 | ||
| Pici | !hostname | nerdshell | 23:04 |
| ubottu | nerdshell: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 23:04 |
| sbarcteam | nerdshell, don't forget to update your /etc/hosts file | 23:04 |
| zelozelos | Kenty22: just in case you didnt know- live cd dosent save anything, youll have 2 put them on some other drive, partition, or media | 23:04 |
| nerdshell | julie101010: the hostname command changes the hostname for the active session, if you reboot, the hostname will be changed again. | 23:05 |
| Kenty22 | zelozelos: I would prefer a different solution that a complete re-instal, thanks :) | 23:05 |

| linxeh | EastDallas: I might be wrong though - I'm a java developer, but I've not done that much with linux over the last 2-3 years | 23:25 |

| === chomping_ is now known as chomping | ||
| atxq | this morning I downloaded 11.04 and burned it to cd, only to have issues after the install. | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 23:45 |
| atxq | I got a error message about how the disc or dvdreader could be broken; only then when install 10.10 again, worked fine | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible? | 23:45 |
| atxq | the cd live booted peoperly; then when I installed it everything was fine | 23:45 |
| atxq | after restart, black screen | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: did you test the ISO? | 23:46 |
| atxq | even upgrade I get an error | 23:46 |
| meisth0th | i think it's display driver issue | 23:46 |
| atxq | the iso was working fine; the issue was installing it | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: yes there may be bit errors in the image, last time now: did you test the ISO? | 23:46 |
| jfe | hi all. any idea how i can mount my android phone to the latest ubuntu? | 23:46 |
| atxq | no one else with this issue? | 23:46 |
| jfe | i thought it might auto-mount but apparently not.. | 23:47 |
| fightling | I'm, having problems with empathy on naughty when connecting to jabber it shows a "network error" - any help? | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: if you won't respond, why should we help you? I have asked several times but you kept yammering on, so it's pointless helping you as you simply WON'T reply | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jfe: on the phone you need to tell the phone to mount, it will then be accessible | 23:48 |
| atxq | the iso booted fine; I did not test the md5, but even upgrading causes errors | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: you still haven't answered the question... | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: did you MD5 test the iSO? | 23:48 |
| zth | hello! i installed xfce on my 11.04 ubuntu, but it cannot decrypt my homefolder? how do i solve this? i want to use xfce but do not wanna make a fresh xubuinstall | 23:48 |
| atxq | no | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: then how did you know the image was complete or consistent | 23:48 |
| nm5tf | AP: had a similar prob as atxq because I burned the CD at hi speed--redid it a slowest speed & it worked fine--sounds like he didn't test the ISO tho | 23:49 |
| atxq | because I did a live boot and it worked fine | 23:49 |
| atxq | I have never had issues before with any of the past releases | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: that is moot, there could be bit errors in packages used to install the OS but the data to get the live environment running could be fine | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: the live CD booting is NOT a test to see if ALL the data is good | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: get the image MD5 tested and then if it is tested as good, we can continue | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:50 |
| atxq | it was enough for me at the time; listen, so I cannot upgrade either without getting an error message | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: yes because the data may have issues | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: but you haven't tested it, so we currently don't know | 23:50 |
| atxq | I can download it again and test it, but at this point not sure it might help much | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | jfe: did you tell your phone to mount the file system so that it is accessible? | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: you don't need to, you just need to test it | 23:51 |
| atxq | was mostly just wondering if anyone had this issue too or not | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: you could statistically download an infinite amount of files and never get a good one, simply redownloading does nothing | 23:52 |
| atxq | so I can md5 test on the cd? | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: its a known issie but until we know the data you are using is good, any efforts will be for nought | 23:52 |
| atxq | so can I run the test on the disc, or do I need an iso? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: you can boot to the CD, when you see the keyboard and stickman screen, press SPACE and select "Check CD for defects" | 23:53 |
| atxq | even easier | 23:53 |
| atxq | so there have been similiar issues then from other users? | 23:54 |
| atxq | I will check the disc later; running a clean 10.10; thanks for the help | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: yes, what video chip do you use? | 23:55 |
| brown_fern | atxq: I have not heard of anyone with that particular problem but that mean little, as I am not well informed. :) | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | atxq: intel? nvidia? ati? | 23:57 |
