| trism | sulucohmun: just download the patch file and in the source directory run: patch -p1 < /path/to/patchfile | 00:01 |
| sulucohmun | in a git-patch, when you see a plus + and minus - symbols next to the lines, does - mean remove the line, + mean add line? | 00:01 |
| sulucohmun | @trism: how would I download this patch? if i use "git clone https://github.com/Caccc/Gnome-shell-extension-Mediasplayers.git" it downloads the unpatched sounrce? how do i specify with git to download it "patched"? | 00:02 |
| feyd | is there a way to delete files that arent on OS drives to the trash? | 00:02 |
| Corey | feyd: Yes. | 00:02 |
| avance0242 | Hey I have a question? I want to know if any of you guys know about any good Wi Fi Login Software, this is for a school network that runs ubuntu 9.04 | 00:03 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: this one http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/ubuntu-releases//11.04/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso | 00:03 |
| sulucohmun | @trism: ill do it that way, I was just wondering if you could download it from GIT already patched by specifying with git clone/pull/feth w.e | 00:03 |
| feyd | Corey: I should tel you im in XFCE | 00:03 |
| Corey | feyd: ...although I can't dig out right now where it lives. :-/ | 00:03 |
| julie | avance0242, a good solution for this is to use a proxy server | 00:03 |
| feyd | Corey: but you can confirm that it can be done in XFCE? | 00:04 |
| Corey | avance0242: Fairly complex stuff; Bradford Networks markets a solution to the educational market. | 00:04 |
| Corey | feyd: I don't do it with window managers. :-) | 00:04 |
| feyd | Corey: I feel like I had it working before and did something and it doesnt work anymore, I wanted to make sure i wanst crazy mostly | 00:04 |
| avance0242 | julie Thanks. I'll take that to consideration. | 00:04 |

| lekefly_ | pfifo: correct right? | 00:05 |
| Corey | Jeff__: Fire up a terminal, sudo apt-get update | 00:05 |
| B105 | I am suffering from Jeff__'s plight as well. | 00:05 |
| trism | sulucohmun: if the patch has been merged you could pull it in, otherwise you need to download it and apply it somehow (I don't see a link to download it so it looks like you need to copy/paste to a file) | 00:06 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, have you ever gotten a linux kernel to boot on this machine? | 00:06 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: nope :S | 00:06 |

| sulucohmun | @trism: i could do it by hand, im having trouble otherwise, I just need to know, does + mean add line, - mean remove line? or does - mean leave line alone? | 00:06 |

| sulucohmun | @trism: also the patch's first line is this: diff --git a/mediasplayers@ycdref/extension.js b/mediasplayers@ycdref/extension.js wtf is that supposed ti mean ? lol | 00:07 |
| trism | sulucohmun: + are lines added, - are lines removed, but just copy/paste the file to a text file, cd into the directory where you cloned the git repo, and run: patch -p1 < /path/to/patchfile.txt; and it should work | 00:08 |

| pfifo | lekefly_, do you know what motherboard it has? | 00:10 |
| szal | Jeff__: open terminal -> sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/* -> sudo apt-get update -> that should fix it | 00:10 |

| joren | Hey, so I recently did an ubuntu server install which kept failing on "installing software" I have a bootable system with apt and everything, but does anyone know if there's a package or virtual package that installes all the extra ubuntu goodies? | 00:18 |
| nincompooop | Stultissimus: I'm afraid that's very hard to do... | 00:19 |
| joren | I think my CD was busted, should probably just re-install, but it might be a bit too late for that at this point | 00:19 |
| nincompooop | Stultissimus: that's pretty much why data recovery centers exist, IMHO (that and HDD failures) | 00:19 |
| szal | Stultissimus: back up the data if they can be recovered, reinstall & put the data back | 00:19 |
| Stultissimus | nincompooop: Hm... do you at least know a way to recover the data in its original structure? | 00:20 |
| Stultissimus | szal: I could do that as a last resort, but I am worried that could take days to sort through all of my files, which show up with no organization. | 00:20 |
| nincompooop | Stultissimus: dunno man, I was never epicly good with data recovery... as far as my knowledge is concerned, unless you have stuff that's backed up, it's toast. | 00:21 |
| Corey | Stultissimus: The better option is to recover from backup. | 00:21 |
| rinkukokiri | see, I was looking into a simple 'undelete' solution for linux as well... something that was as simple as piriform's 'undelete' or the blessed 'R-Studio' however, I was unable to find anything but dd | 00:21 |
| szal | Stultissimus: life lesson hopefully learned. ;) | 00:21 |
| Corey | rinkukokiri: testdisk | 00:21 |
| Stultissimus | Corey: I was stupid and haven't backed up in months... however, that could be useful. | 00:21 |
| nincompooop | rinkukokiri: haha, dd... classic. | 00:22 |
| Corey | Stultissimus: Then you've learned a valuable lesson at probably too high of a cost. | 00:22 |
| * nincompooop should really consider backing things up more often... | 00:22 | |
| Stultissimus | Szal: Nah, I love getting myself in trouble. The adrenaline pulsing through my veins as I bang my head against the desk can't be beat. | 00:22 |
| Ander_ | I have a stupid newbie question | 00:22 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, put your spare usb drive in and unmount anything that gets automounted | 00:22 |
| nincompooop | go ahead Ander_ | 00:22 |
| Stultissimus | Corey: Like I said, the data is there. I might just have to write it all to an external hard drive and drag it back manually after restoring. | 00:23 |
| spinxd | anyone know why doing a whois on a Canadian IP doesnt work? | 00:23 |
| Ander_ | I'm trying to create a panel shortcut for Minecraft. java -jar ~/Minecraft/minecraft.jar works just fine in the console but not in a launcher | 00:23 |
| nincompooop | Stultissimus: sounds like a plan. | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | n0va: did /server irc.evilzone.org work? | 00:24 |
| rinkukokiri | Ander_, you may have to specify the path of java?? in term try which java | 00:24 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: alright done | 00:24 |
| Aginor | Ander_: wrap the command in a shell script | 00:24 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, now sudo -s, and run this command replacing X with the letter of you usb drive (this will erase all data on your disk `wget -O /dev/sdX "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso"` | 00:25 |
| Ander_ | I will try the shell script idea... Only have one path to Java | 00:25 |
| julie | spinxd, what is the IP so I can give it a try to see? | 00:25 |
| nincompooop | julie: 8.8.8.8? | 00:25 |
| nincompooop | it's a DNS server. | 00:26 |
| spinxd | julie 24.37.188.237 | 00:26 |
| Stultissimus | Corey, Szal, Nincompooop: Thanks for your comments. I suppose that it's time for me to start burning to a hard drive, and do a system restore... unless I stumble upon something revolutionary, like a drunken monkey with a knack for electronics. I have one last lead to follow before this, though. I'll talk to you later, after I overwrite my savings account with Ubuntu :> | 00:27 |
| julie | spinxd, it is a Videotron IP... works for me | 00:27 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, in the mean time, on the boot options of the alternate install press fc and choose noacpi andacpi=off then boot with the install ubuntu command | 00:27 |
| szal | lol | 00:27 |
| nincompooop | Stultissimus: no prob. :) | 00:27 |
| spinxd | julie can you msg me what it gives you? | 00:27 |
| julie | sure | 00:27 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, "f6" typo | 00:27 |
| spinxd | thanx | 00:27 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: how do you list drives again? :p | 00:28 |

| engammalsko | The names are "Windows Partition" and "Linux Partition" sorry for confusing. | 00:48 |
| kdog | engammalsko: easiest thing to do is remove the space from the mount direcotry | 00:48 |
| pfifo | engammalsko, then you nee to say it like this "/dev/sdb1 /media/Windows\ Partition ntfs defaults 0 0" | 00:48 |
| szal | Fretta: you're either pretty new or pretty blind if you haven't seen that yet :P .. test case -> 'sudo apt-get -d install emacs' <- that would only download the pkgs, but it'll most likely ask for confirmation anyway | 00:49 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: Alright.. so just run from disk or what? | 00:49 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: oh.. it auto booted.. same error :P | 00:50 |
| Fretta | szal thnx for the nice comments, but also thax for the -d flag | 00:50 |
| gohdan | engammalsko: for future reference, *nix handles spaces as "foo\ bar" | 00:50 |
| szal | Fretta: no offence meant | 00:51 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: in it now again.. just shot if you have ideas what i can try | 00:51 |
| Fretta | szal :) | 00:51 |
| engammalsko | gohdan: *nix ? | 00:51 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, try pressing pause during boot and see if you can get the first error message on the screen | 00:52 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: how? | 00:52 |
| engammalsko | Thanks for the answers anyway :) | 00:52 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, by pressing pause during boot | 00:52 |
| gohdan | engammalsko: its a a commonly used abbreviation for UNIX-like systems. | 00:52 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: as in the pause button on the keyboard? :P ill try | 00:53 |
| gohdan | s/but with less a's :P | 00:53 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, yeah it does actually do something :) | 00:53 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: install or run from usb? | 00:53 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, anywhere it creates that message | 00:54 |
| q__ | hey yall | 00:54 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, can you run any OS on this machine? | 00:54 |
| edbian | q__: hello! | 00:55 |
| q__ | hey pfifo | 00:55 |
| pfifo | q__, what? | 00:55 |
| q__ | you watch anime | 00:55 |

| pfifo | lekefly_, centOS give that same error? | 00:55 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: Something els about kernel panic | 00:56 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, can you successfully run 'memcheck86" | 00:56 |

| Jymmm | Is anyone running an XP virtual machine on an Atom box? | 00:59 |
| jackster | it's not like they're gaining anything | 00:59 |
| jackster | except a rep for being an asshole | 00:59 |
| edbian | Jymmm: What does that have to do with Ubuntu? | 00:59 |
| brianmwaters | wtf was that sasl thing? is that real? | 00:59 |
| Jymmm | edbian: performance | 00:59 |
| Wally | ROFL.. bot | 00:59 |

| brianmwaters | ok | 01:00 |
| edbian | Jymmm: Mmm, I'm not running that :( Sorry! :P | 01:00 |
| edbian | ROFL... Copter | 01:00 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, try booting windows, if that doesnt work then id have to say your hardware is broken | 01:00 |
| gohdan | brianmwaters: these are not the droids you are looking for | 01:00 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: bah.. hehe | 01:00 |
| brianmwaters | lol | 01:00 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: got a video of the boot now.. sec | 01:00 |
| edbian | haha | 01:00 |
| Jymmm | I just want to know if it's even possible on an atom board | 01:00 |
| edbian | lekefly_: ooooh, a video? :D | 01:00 |
| bazhang | Jymmm, ask in ##windows or ##hardware | 01:01 |
| gohdan | Jymmm: depends if the vm youre running has arm support | 01:01 |
| edbian | Jymmm: Virtualization can be done entirely in software. I think it could be done on ANY board. It's just slower without hardware support | 01:01 |
| pfifo | windows suppots more than one architecture now? | 01:02 |
| Jymmm | No not technically, just reasonably quick | 01:02 |

| feyd | can I uinstall a list of packages all at once? I have a txt file with a list of packages, 1 per line | 01:04 |
| bazhang | Jymmm, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support. please take it to the appropriate channel | 01:04 |
| bazhang | feyd, sure | 01:04 |
| Jymmm | bazhang: so which ubuntu channel would that be? | 01:04 |
| bazhang | Jymmm, none. ##hardware | 01:04 |
| feyd | bazhang: any suggestions as to how? | 01:04 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: Can i just get a hold of a windows iso and use the command you gave me to make it bootable on usb? :P | 01:04 |
| bazhang | feyd, you want a purekde or the like? | 01:05 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, thats definatly a hardware issue, the kernel crashes right away | 01:05 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, no that little trick with wget doesnt even work with most linux isos | 01:05 |
| feyd | bazhang: wha? I installed AWN in XFCE, it installed a shitton of Gnome shit that I don't want, so I want to purge the crap that came with it | 01:05 |
| bazhang | feyd, no need for the cursing | 01:05 |
| feyd | bazhang: apologies, not directed at anyone | 01:06 |
| bazhang | feyd, are you removing awn as well? it may need those gnome libs | 01:06 |
| feyd | bazhang: yep, it's all going | 01:06 |
| pfifo | feyd, xfce in ubuntu is just a mini gnome | 01:06 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: What hardware do you think is wrong? :p | 01:06 |
| bazhang | feyd, then copy and paste into the terminal | 01:07 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, your CPU or FSB | 01:07 |
| gohdan | feyd: sudo aptitude purge foo bar pkg1 pkg2 etc1 etc2 | 01:07 |

| lekefly_ | FBS is on the mb right? :p | 01:07 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, yeah | 01:07 |
| Fretta | whats FBS? | 01:08 |
| bazhang | Fretta, try switching mirrors via synaptic package manager | 01:08 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: alright.. ill try to swap mb.. but i just got 2 of the same tho.. | 01:08 |
| bonhoffer | what is /dev/null? | 01:08 |
| pfifo | Fretta, front side bus (FSB) | 01:08 |
| Fretta | ah ok thanks | 01:08 |
| brianmwaters | /dev/null is a bottomless pit | 01:08 |
| pfifo | bonhoffer, nothing | 01:08 |
| Fretta | where do I edit synaptic package manager? | 01:08 |
| bonhoffer | brianmwaters: got that, so is it an empty file? | 01:09 |
| brianmwaters | nope | 01:09 |
| brianmwaters | bonhoffer: do you know what a device special file is? | 01:09 |
| szal | Fretta: if you want to edit something, edit /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:09 |
| bonhoffer | brianmwaters: nope | 01:09 |
| brianmwaters | well | 01:09 |
| Fretta | szal this is the list of where to download packages from? | 01:09 |
| brianmwaters | in unix, almost everything is represented as files...... | 01:09 |
| bonhoffer | i'm the question asker dude . . . your the expert! | 01:09 |
| szal | Fretta: indeed | 01:09 |
| brianmwaters | including devices | 01:09 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: What are the odds that its the CPU rather than MB? both are brand new like 5 days old | 01:10 |
| Fretta | szal nice, :) thanks again | 01:10 |
| bonhoffer | brianmwaters: like /dev/hda | 01:10 |
| brianmwaters | for example, /dev/sda is usually your hard disk. | 01:10 |
| brianmwaters | yes | 01:10 |
| brianmwaters | if you wrote to that you'd fry your os! | 01:10 |
| bonhoffer | got it, so what really is that? -- a device special file? | 01:10 |
| szal | Fretta: note the 2 letters behind the 'http://', that's a top-level domain indicating the country; you could put whatever you like there, I guess, as long as the TLD exists | 01:10 |
| bonhoffer | can you do file operations on those? | 01:10 |
| brianmwaters | yes, /dev/sda is a device file. | 01:11 |
| Fretta | szal thanks for the tip | 01:11 |
| brianmwaters | but there's also a bunch of device files in there that don't correspond to real devices | 01:11 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, pretty good, CPUs are so sensitive to everything | 01:11 |
| szal | other than that, there might be a mirror list to be found somewhere | 01:11 |
| brianmwaters | like /dev/tty0 | 01:11 |
| brianmwaters | and also /dev/null | 01:11 |
| brianmwaters | when you write to /dev/null, nothing happens | 01:11 |
| bonhoffer | brianmwaters: got it | 01:12 |
| bonhoffer | so what is tty? | 01:12 |
| bonhoffer | i see that all over the place? | 01:12 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: bah :p | 01:12 |
| TheLifelessOne | Where is xorg.conf saved at? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | bonhoffer, most of this is easily searchable on the internet and is not ubuntu specific | 01:13 |
| bonhoffer | bazhang: cool, i'm ok with you not participating | 01:13 |
| aeon-ltd | TheLifelessOne: by default there isn't one | 01:13 |
| bazhang | bonhoffer, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic , in other words | 01:13 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: How can i have 2 CPUs that are not working.. *facepalm* | 01:13 |
| lekefly_ | TheLifelessOne: /etc/X11/ | 01:13 |
| bonhoffer | fair enough | 01:13 |
| TheLifelessOne | aeon-ltd: How do I get one? | 01:13 |
| rich | when did ubuntu stop having seperate desktop and server distros? | 01:14 |
| bazhang | rich, they did not | 01:14 |
| pfifo | lekefly_, you have 2 cpus in the machine? you could try testing them seperately | 01:14 |
| bonhoffer | brianmwaters: appreciate the insight | 01:14 |
| TheLifelessOne | lekefly_: There's no xorg.conf in that directory. | 01:14 |
| rich | bazhang, ah, the website just changed a bit. | 01:15 |
| szal | nice, default audio volume in *buntu is louder than in SUSE, and it distorts less :) | 01:15 |
| lekefly_ | pfifo: no in another machine:p | 01:16 |
| TheLifelessOne | Anyone? I kinda need to have the file for my drivers to work properly. | 01:16 |
| bazhang | TheLifelessOne, you need to create one | 01:17 |
| TheLifelessOne | bazhang: How can I do that? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | TheLifelessOne, nvidia card? | 01:17 |
| genetix | TheLifelessOne, did you install a vidcard driver ? I know the nvidia driver creates a xorg.conf | 01:17 |
| TheLifelessOne | bazhang: VIA. | 01:17 |
| TheLifelessOne | openChrome drivers. | 01:17 |
| BigMac1 | does ubuntu 11.04 use gtk 2.xx or gtk 3.xx? | 01:18 |
| pfifo | !info gtk | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Package gtk does not exist in natty | 01:19 |
| pfifo | !info gtk2 | 01:19 |
| ubottu | Package gtk2 does not exist in natty | 01:19 |
| bazhang | BigMac1, whats the real issue | 01:19 |
| BigMac1 | bazhang, i want to download themes, and i'm unsure wether to choose gtk 2 or 3 | 01:20 |
| rww | BigMac1: gtk2 | 01:21 |
| bazhang | BigMac1, seems like gtk2 from the gtk2-engines | 01:21 |
| BigMac1 | rww: ok, thanks | 01:21 |
| gohdan | anyone know how often canonical updates the screenshots.debian.net mirror it uses for the software center? | 01:22 |
| szal | hmmm.. just tried to log into a remote server like I usually do, but got the message "Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)." -- how do I change that? | 01:22 |
| rww | gohdan: as the URL implies, that server isn't maintained by Canonical. | 01:23 |
| gohdan | or a better question would be: why do so many of them on the site have screenshots but the software center mirror doesnt? | 01:23 |
| === Cain` is now known as Cain | ||
| gohdan | rww: the site isnt. but canonical maintains a mirror that it uses to display them in the software center | 01:24 |
| pfifo | szal, use the right password? | 01:24 |
| szal | pfifo: I copied ~/.ssh/ from my other home | 01:25 |
| szal | it should ask me for passphrase | 01:25 |
| pfifo | szal, you need your gpg keys then | 01:25 |
| vanjafx | Is there any way to recreate Desktop, Video, Pictures, etc. folders in /home/<user>? I have /home on separate partition, which I had to reformat and now the above mentioned folders act as normal and not 'special' folders. | 01:25 |
| pfifo | szal, .pki | 01:26 |
| szal | pfifo: ? | 01:26 |
| pfifo | szal, ~/.pki/ | 01:26 |
| szal | pfifo: doesn't exist here | 01:26 |
| pfifo | szal, key based ssh is out of my area of expertise | 01:27 |
| brianmwaters | vanjafx: i don't know how those special folders are supposed to work, because i get rid of them. they are associated w/ a certain package. maybe you could reinstall it. | 01:27 |
| brianmwaters | don't remember what it's called sorry | 01:28 |
| szal | pfifo: ah, slight diversion in syntax | 01:28 |
| vanjafx | brianmwaters, another 'anomaly' is that my actual desktop references to ~ | 01:28 |
| brianmwaters | vanjafx: mine does too! i did it on purpose | 01:29 |
| brianmwaters | it's a symlink on my machine | 01:29 |
| szal | pfifo: on *buntu I need to explicitly state the username as which to log in (on SUSE I don't) | 01:29 |
| vanjafx | brianmwaters, I don't even know what to google for in this case... | 01:30 |
| pfifo | szal, no you dont, if you username on both servers is the same | 01:30 |
| szal | pfifo: ah, then that's the problem, I changed my local username for *buntu | 01:30 |
| brianmwaters | vanjafx: what's so special about those "special" files | 01:30 |
| pfifo | szal, its good habit to just always use a username anyway | 01:31 |
| vanjafx | brianmwaters, Dunno... they have nice icons and show up in the nautilus sidebar, and various apps point to them (think word processor points to Documents, video editor to Videos etc.). | 01:32 |
| vanjafx | when you want to open/save files, that is | 01:33 |
| brianmwaters | vanjafx: just drag them to the nautilus sidebar | 01:33 |
| robin0800 | vanjafx, I would think they are nautilus so sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus | 01:33 |
| brianmwaters | they are not part of nautilus. | 01:33 |
| robin0800 | try ubuntu-desktop then | 01:34 |
| brianmwaters | it definitely depends on ubuntu-desktop. | 01:34 |
| brianmwaters | perhaps indirectly | 01:35 |
| vanjafx | robin0800, will try now | 01:35 |
| vanjafx | nothing changed | 01:37 |
| brianmwaters | haha | 01:37 |
| trism | vanjafx: those directories are controlled by ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and running xdg-user-dirs-update | 01:37 |
| brianmwaters | thar ye go | 01:37 |
| Dismount | Hey guys, I'm running liveCD trying to format and delete /dev/sda5, but it's saying it's mounted. `mount` doesn't seem to say so, though: http://pastebin.com/5iYtUTzy | 01:37 |
| flaiks | hey, wondering if there's any way to hide the unity dock in 11.04 | 01:38 |
| Dismount | My exact error is: http://pastebin.com/pRMjAZ05 | 01:38 |
| flaiks | i wanna use docky instead | 01:38 |
| Dismount | er, trying to format/delete via gparted | 01:38 |
| Dismount | let's try this again | 01:38 |
| flaiks | so, i like the menu system of 11.04, how the application menus are at the top, however, the left dock is kinda annoying, wondering if I can just get rid of that dock and use docky instead ? | 01:40 |
| lekefly_ | How do i fix the "Checking batteri .. ok" message i get on a ubuntu desktop pc? | 01:40 |
| Dismount | flaiks: afaik, the menus at the top are all part of unity's dock. I'd assume you'd simply uninstall unity's dock (or unity) and install docky in its place | 01:42 |
| flaiks | does docky allow the menus at the top ? | 01:42 |
| hank | Hey all, I just installed 11.04 on My macbook pro ( ver 4.1) and for some reason I can not get my sound working. I tried googling but I couldn't find anything. Any ideas? | 01:43 |
| vanjafx | trism: that did the trick! thanks! now i need to figure out how to point desktop to ~/Desktop. | 01:43 |
| brianmwaters | i don't understand vanjafx | 01:43 |
| === mike is now known as Guest95603 | ||
| brianmwaters | can't you just make a folder called Desktop? | 01:44 |
| vanjafx | i just did, but it doesn't link to the desktop per se | 01:44 |
| brianmwaters | what do you mean it doesnt link to the desktop | 01:44 |
| Dismount | Hey guys, it seems like the LiveCD is using my hard drive's /dev/sda5 as swap space. Can anyone tell me more about this? | 01:45 |
| trism | vanjafx: that is one of the options in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, XDG_DESKTOP_DIR | 01:45 |
| trism | vanjafx: you will need to restart nautilus before it takes effect: nautilus -q | 01:45 |
| vanjafx | trism: well i'll be damned. worked | 01:46 |
| vanjafx | love you! :) | 01:46 |

| kennett | I'm looking for a program that can resize photos. | 01:47 |

| Vampire0 | Hi, anyone around? | 01:48 |
| Vampire0 | I'm having a problem. I distribute an application. Actually a Java application. The application also provides a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/. Directly after installing the .deb package, the Dash can find the application, but if I start it, only a gray box with question mark and title "win0" appears in the launcher. Pinning that is not possible and also vanishes if you restart unity. This be | 01:48 |
| Vampire0 | haviour exists until Unity is restarted. From then on all behaves well. Is there any trigger call I have to make in my postinst script to make this work properly immediately after installation? | 01:48 |
| FloodBot1 | Vampire0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:48 |
| === LasTwo is now known as Lasivian | ||
| kennett | I use picasa but for some reason it's not working. Can gimp resize a batch of photos? | 01:51 |
| Dismount | Vampire0: I've had fun with java and unity. Good luck. | 01:52 |
| Vampire0 | Dismount, I don't think that Java is the problem here | 01:53 |
| Vampire0 | If you refer to double icons for running vs. pinned, that is not a problem at all | 01:53 |
| Vampire0 | oh darn, this was a fresh install in a VM so I forgot to kick out the crappy OpenJDK | 01:56 |
| Vampire0 | After installing the Sun JDK it works like a charm right from the start | 01:56 |
| LekeFly | How do i fix the "Checking batteri state.. ok" message i get on a ubuntu desktop pc? cant seem to remove it | 01:58 |
| kennett | nit-wit - gimp only lets you do one photo at a time. | 01:58 |
| kennett | I need to do a batch of over 400. | 01:58 |
| bazhang | kennett, what about imagemagick | 02:00 |
| kennett | bazhang: I'll try it and see. | 02:00 |
| royale1223 | how do i disable network manager? | 02:00 |
| bazhang | royale1223, you wish to use the command line instead? | 02:02 |
| escott | royale1223, i think having an entry in /etc/network/interfaces should disable nm for that device. there is also an nm command line client | 02:02 |

| ubottu | metbsd: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:28 |

| ubottu | movva: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 02:28 |

| billy_ | Snakkah, so you have them installed and just want to switch | 03:15 |
| nit-wit | Snakkah, install startup manager you can change the default,time out, resolution. | 03:15 |

| kennett | nit-wit: What do you mean help me lie? | 03:17 |
| billy_ | Xenland, so why not just switch harddrives and run the install | 03:18 |
| nit-wit | kennett, "I need help changing the date and time on a photo" speaks for itself. | 03:19 |

| billy_ | Xenland, nope you need to do it as an iso because at the moment you only have one file once burned you'll have a complete install | 03:20 |

| kennett | Apple_Cat: Do you know how because I've tried. | 03:24 |
| === david is now known as Guest29013 | ||
| Apple_Cat | kennett: If you're having problems with it there is another program that is made for batch processing (well sort of anyway). It's called ImageMagick | 03:25 |
| kennett | Apple_Cat: It's installed on my system but can't get it to work either. :( | 03:26 |
| Apple_Cat | kennett: Just google imagemagick metadata and you'll find a bunch of stuff, read the man page for imagemagick too | 03:26 |
| Monotoko | hi guys, I have a ubuntu server with native IPv6 capibility, I would like to route my home connection through it, this consists of both Windows and Linux computers, how can I go about getting it work, and most importantly, cross-platform? | 03:27 |
| Apple_Cat | kennett: And if that still doesn't work, I'd just stick to manually editing the metadata on a photo program, this I know gimp does but you might even have luck with regular photo viewing programs | 03:28 |

| rewt | Monotoko, it would depend on how your subnet is routed to you; you may be able to do simple forwarding, or you may have to ndp proxy; maybe try in #ipv6 | 03:36 |

| hypodermia | okay guys. i feel like i'm taking crazy pills. can anybody tell me if it's possible to tell ubuntu to open steam URLs using steam? | 03:44 |
| Xenland | fretta: i followed the sources links in my /etc/apt/source.list and it looks like jaunty dosent exist in the dist folder, that could be a reason why | 03:45 |
| Fretta | Xenland and you tried updating? | 03:45 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: is steam comptible with linux? | 03:45 |
| Xenland | fretta: yeah i tried that, i get 404 errors when running that aswell | 03:46 |
| Fretta | Xenland hmm I wonder if Jaunty is still supported | 03:46 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: runs in wine fine. tbqh i want the URIs handled with this command: wine c:\\program\ files\\steam\\steam.exe | 03:46 |
| Fretta | if not you can work off of old archives | 03:46 |
| Fretta | not sure how, but i know thats an option... | 03:46 |
| Fretta | :/ | 03:46 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: Do you mean you can't access the store and game trailers and what not? | 03:47 |

| mr_rune | is there a way to extract some files from iphone on a virtual machine? | 03:47 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: steam works perfectly. that latter (chrome, xdg-open, whathaveyou) | 03:47 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: nvm i probubly just didn't understand your question | 03:48 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: it'd be super sweet if i could set a URI handler for steam:// URI scheme that opened it with "wine c:\\program\ files\\steam\\steam.exe" | 03:48 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: AHH i wonder the same thing | 03:48 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: what kind of game do you get running with Wine nowa days? i play left 4 dead, tf2 and portal | 03:49 |
| hypodermia | yeah. like. supposedly it SHOULD work if i do this gconf thing, but. | 03:49 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: i don't own l4d, but tf2 and portal work flawlessly | 03:49 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: tbqh my experience was no different than windows. double-click steam installer, then use like normal. | 03:49 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: no kidding!? I remember why half-life2 would barley be compatible... with wine | 03:50 |
| Xenland | but that was a long time ago | 03:50 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: that works perfectly as well. i could dig up a screenshot or two... | 03:50 |
| Xenland | hypodermia: whats the frame rate difference from windows then ubuntu | 03:50 |
| Xenland | i know that was always a prob with wine | 03:50 |
| iLLf8d | hey all is there a hotkey to open the workspace switcher? I dont see one in the hotkeys list | 03:51 |
| hypodermia | Xenland: bear in mind i have no video card, just integrated intel graphics, but my experience is almost identical. maybe a tiny bit better performance with wine. | 03:51 |

| hypodermia | a cylinder is a part of a hard drive in a physical sense. some BIOSs (iirc) have trouble with partitions that don't start and stop on cylinder boundaries | 03:57 |

| hypodermia | Kalvin: it is something i know with my computer i can actually ignore | 03:58 |

| Snake__ | What else can I fo | 04:40 |
| celthunder | badly judging by you're looking for my blood | 04:40 |
| Snake__ | What else can I do | 04:40 |
| prototype | well, actually, I have access to 2 powerful xeons, and about 20 normal ubuntu machines. I don't know what to do with it! | 04:40 |
| Dantonic | celthunder hey! I wanted to thank you for your help the other night... well unfortunately it did not work... | 04:40 |

| celthunder | prototype, if they're really powerful on a decent network sell vps's off them...that's what i do on my power server | 04:40 |
| brown_fern | echeese: I just shrunk a Windows XP partition, that was taking up the whole hard drive of a computer, in order to make room for Ubuntu. I did it with a native Windows software tool, I'd recommend it but I can't remember its name at the moment, are you going to be here for a few minutes, I could find it? | 04:40 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, lol ok what's the issue | 04:41 |
| Dantonic | celthunder it is still failing due to the previous install I think... it crashes at bootup like the old isntall used to... | 04:41 |
| echeese | brown_fern, haha yeah, once I join a channel I never leave. | 04:41 |
| Dantonic | the old 10.04 install | 04:41 |

| celthunder | echeese, doesn't mean it doesn't work | 04:42 |
| Dantonic | celthunder but hang on... I want to bring up another issue... I've realized when this problem with the partitions not being recognized was caused... | 04:42 |
| celthunder | cypha, telnet | 04:42 |
| cypha | without entering elinks, or whatever | 04:42 |
| prototype | how do I put this... I have access access to them, but I do not own them :) So selling them is out of the question. I do have discrete access to them, so I was wondering what I can do to put them to use. They are on a very powerful fiber net | 04:42 |
| celthunder | cypha, telnet? | 04:42 |
| cypha | celthunder, telnet to what? and why isn't using telnet slower? | 04:43 |
| celthunder | cypha, to google.com port 80 | 04:43 |
| mr_rune | please no one use iphone here ? | 04:43 |
| Dantonic | celthunder I was having a grub issue at some point in the past and couldn't get back into my windows partition. someone in the #windows channel suggested I use eASEUS Partition Master... and I did. that helped me fix the problem, but I believe it also caused this issue... | 04:43 |

| echeese | alright | 04:43 |
| cypha | celthunder, and isn't having to create a telnet connection slower? | 04:43 |

| celthunder | Dantonic, ok reboot and write it down please..or if yo uhave another computer handy to connect to irc from? | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ^c|0ud^: yeah just looking now, looks like good stuff | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonja: sure, drop to root recovery mode and run: Xorg -configure | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonja: there used to be a handy one back in Gutsy, but it is no more :( | 04:49 |
| celthunder | Sonja, not really...but what ActionParsnip just said will make a good starting point | 04:49 |
| ^c|0ud^ | what does -lGL stand for when compiling | 04:49 |
| celthunder | ^c|0ud^, what compiler? | 04:50 |
| ^c|0ud^ | I am not sure lol.. I am just doing a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xbmc --enable-vaapi | 04:50 |

| ActionParsnip | Sonja: did you run it in a root recovery console? | 04:51 |
| Snake__ | I want to talk to a sexy smart girl | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonja: it would have required a reboot | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Snake__: that is offtopic here | 04:51 |
| Sonja | what's a root recovery console? | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Sonja: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode, select root | 04:52 |
| brown_fern | echeese: I regret that I have returned without the name of that resizing program, however, I did see that Maximum PC, the same place I found the other one, had good things to say about this tool. http://www.partitionwizard.com/ | 04:52 |
| Sonja | hokay | 04:52 |
| echeese | thanks, brown_fern | 04:52 |

| Dantonic | celthunder I'll logon from my phone | 04:54 |
| brown_fern | echeese: I personally feel that a Windows tool can handle NTFS a little better than a Linux tool, but gparted just keeps getting better and better. that Maximum PC article is this one, by-the-way. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/ask_doctor/shrinking_partitions_raid | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | julie: it needs the X server to not be running, its one of the easiest ways a user can get to that state | 04:55 |
| julie | ActionParsnip, I suppose you may be right but I hate rebooting when it's not needed | 04:55 |
| z00mmer | question, when i tryed to patch my file it gives me Hunk #1 failed at 205 Hunk #2 failed and so on. How can i fixed it to make a normal patch | 04:56 |

| ActionParsnip | julie: oh truly :) but if it makes life easier for new users then I'm all for it | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ^c|0ud^: what nvidia chip do you use? | 04:56 |
| celthunder | ActionParsnip, you can tell it to use a different display than :0 when doign X -configure usually works around having X running | 04:57 |
| julie | z00mmer, this means the patch was not applied to the correct code (probably wrong version or wrong patch) | 04:57 |

| ActionParsnip | ^c|0ud^: so why do you need nvidia anything? | 04:57 |

| Shikhin | I am badly in need of help. | 05:11 |
| Shikhin | I have large amounts of data in my Windows installation. | 05:11 |
| Shikhin | And uh, I can't find the files in G:\ drive also! | 05:12 |
| Dantonic | celthunder so actually it gave some errors "dependency problems prevent configuration of grub-pc | 05:12 |

| panfist | i think a gantt chart might be too complicated for me, but maybe gedit is too simple? | 05:32 |
| panfist | is there anything in between | 05:32 |
| Dantonic | celthunder uhm... not sure | 05:32 |
| justinjk | Maybe I'm missing something I feel pretty stupid either way. | 05:32 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ls (hd0,5)/boot any output | 05:32 |
| julie | justinjk, what password was changed^ | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: if its in a text based agenda, i'd shoot for gedit. What sort of thing did you have in mind | 05:33 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, or ls (hd0,5)/boot/grub | 05:33 |
| Dantonic | celthunder yes it shows a bunch of menu entries looks like | 05:33 |
| justinjk | I was installing packages and obviously it was asking for my pass so I put my set ubuntu password in and everything was working fine (using both package manager and terminal) now neither package manager or terminal are recognizing my password. | 05:33 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ok that's good now do set root=(hd0,5) | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | justinjk: is caps lock on? | 05:34 |
| Dantonic | celthunder ok done | 05:34 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, then do linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro | 05:34 |
| justinjk | ActionParsnip nah I double checked that and I tried with numlock on and off... No luck. | 05:34 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, then initrd /initrd.img | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | justinjk: tried just typing itin terminal, to see if it displays right | 05:35 |
| panfist | ActionParsnip: i guess i'm not quite sure. now i think maybe i should just start with a gantt chart | 05:35 |
| justinjk | Ok | 05:35 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, then type boot | 05:35 |
| Dantonic | celthunder unknown command 'linux' | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: worth a shot | 05:35 |
| panfist | ActionParsnip: i would like to be able to audit a project, but i'm the only developer on it | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: then you have no communication, so you can do as you pleasae :) | 05:35 |
| justinjk | `No command 'itin' found, did you mean: | 05:36 |
| panfist | ActionParsnip: true but in order to be objective about my work i have to be able to analyze it more than just how i think things are going, and to be accountable to my boss | 05:36 |
| panfist | i don't know about you but there is too much crap going through my head on a daily basis to be able to recall in detail exactly what i was doing two weeks ago | 05:37 |
| panfist | maybe it's because im the only developer, but everything is starting to blur together | 05:37 |
| julie | justinjk, ActionParsnip was telling you to type the password in a separate window so you could see what you're typing and then copy and paste it | 05:37 |
| ejv | what are you developing panfist | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: gantt charts sound great, you could use gedit initially so you don't waste time, then draw up a pretty chart late using a tool or gnucalc / libreoffice calc | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ok | 05:38 |
| Dantonic | :( | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | justinjk: it was just to test the right keys were creating the right characters, its not a command | 05:38 |
| justinjk | gotcha | 05:38 |
| panfist | it's an internal app for a small business, half porting an old ms access application, half extending it with new features. the porting is about half done | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | justinjk: have you tried using gksudo instead of sudo? | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, you got a livecd you can boot from? | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | panfist: sounds cool :) | 05:38 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, we can fix it from here but it'd be a lot easier for me if you had one to boot from | 05:39 |
| ejv | very vague but cool :P | 05:39 |
| Dantonic | yup | 05:39 |
| * ActionParsnip loves speeddial2 | 05:39 | |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ok cool boot to the livecd thanks | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | justinjk: if it doesn't work in gksudo then i'd drop to root recovery mode (or log on as another user in the admin group) and set your password there | 05:40 |
| panfist | ejv it's a small manufacturing company and it's just a boring app to track production, customer service, whatever else | 05:40 |
| justinjk | ActionParsnip, nah but it's pretty random how I was using my password fine then out of nowhere it's giving me wrong password. ANYTHING is possible because I once set an incorrect password and confirmed it... This just seems out of the ordinary because I entered the password multiple times without a problem and now it's not wokring. | 05:40 |
| justinjk | Ok | 05:41 |
| mega3 | anything else? | 05:41 |
| justinjk | I did in fact put a wrong password. Talk about a fail. Thanks for the help. | 05:41 |
| Dantonic | celthunder booting | 05:42 |
| justinjk | Literally installed 3-4 packages while typing the incorrect password that I set incorrectly. | 05:42 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, sorry shoulda realized before ... | 05:42 |
| Dantonic | celthunder it's ok... I'm in | 05:43 |
| julie | justinjk, please stop or I won't be able to resists laughing :) | 05:43 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ok open a terminal | 05:43 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, remember the first few commands i made you run last night for the chroot (if not that's fine i can regive them to you) | 05:44 |

| celthunder | Dantonic, seperate the commands with newlines then instead of ; sorry | 05:52 |
| qin | santhosh: locate binary, cd and run via ./ | 05:52 |

| juchipilo | julie.. no that is my problem.. mount does not show where it's mounted | 05:52 |

| julie | roadfish, then your example is not good | 06:17 |

| roadfish | julie: so even if I am confused about nice levels, why the heck isn't there a redistribution after the renice? instead, the %CPU stays effectively even. | 06:18 |
| julie | roadfish, the cpu scheduler (what deals with process management and priorities) is the most complex part of the kernel | 06:19 |
| roadfish | julie: the pastebin has 5 readings with top. In the fourth reading with top, I have killed waitchew ... and makeinfo is running by itself. | 06:20 |
| d_atharva | Hi...is there any speech recognition software (Like in mac and windows ) for ubuntu ? | 06:20 |
| julie | roadfish, let me see that | 06:21 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, got it installed? then do update-grub | 06:21 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, I first clicked no and it brought me back to the same prompt... I then clicked yes and it closed the installation | 06:21 |
| dantonic2 | so I tried again to start it but now it gives error says device is no longer mounted | 06:21 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, I guess I'll try re-mounting? | 06:21 |
| roadfish | julie: all the top readings are in the pastebin URL that I sent you. It has 924 lines. | 06:22 |
| eboyjr | Hi, trying to download Ubuntu 11.04 to my flash drive, but usb-creator-gtk tells me: "Installation failed", and doesn't print anything to the terminal... Why isn't it working? | 06:22 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, "cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)" | 06:22 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, exit the chroot (type exit) and do the mount commands i gave you earlier (proc/sysfs/dev mounts) | 06:23 |
| Apple_Cat | d_atharva: Have you checked whether any of the windows programs will run under wine? | 06:23 |
| julie | roadfish, yeah and that's why I didn't read the whole page the first time :P | 06:23 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, then reenter the chroot and try | 06:23 |
| roadfish | julie: I separate the top reading by three newlines ... so you can just skip to the reading that is relevant. | 06:24 |
| Shikhin | Anyone help me, please? | 06:24 |
| d_atharva | Apple_Cat :no,But I dont want to run the software in wine..Is there any for Ubuntu ? | 06:24 |
| roadfish | julie: someone on #linux gave me this URL https://lwn.net/Articles/418884/ ... which confirms your comment on scheduling being complex. | 06:24 |
| sleepste1 | anyone know how updated the open-vm-tools package is for natty? I looked at open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net and it looks like it hasn't been updated for a year | 06:25 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, it's not working same problem as before | 06:25 |
| dantonic2 | "mount point proc/ does not exist | 06:25 |
| dantonic2 | " | 06:25 |
| julie | roadfish, so far I don't have any hypothesis... are the two processes touching at the same files by any chance? | 06:25 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, uhm mount -t proc proc proc/ right? | 06:26 |
| a931bw | Hello everybody, i have an ntfs partition with windows, and a separate partition for linux. I wonder is it possible to use something like VirutalBox to launch windows from partition? | 06:26 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, from /tmp/a | 06:26 |
| Apple_Cat | d_atharva: No I don't know of any speech recognition software for ubuntu, but that's not to say there aren't any. Apart from being closed source, is there any other reason you don't want to use wine and a windows program? | 06:26 |
| roadfish | julie: no the processes are quite distinct. The waitchew is just a busy poll in Python and the makeinfo is processing a file (from texi to info formats). | 06:26 |
| spass | a931bw: no | 06:26 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok hang on | 06:27 |
| Apple_Cat | d_atharva: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_recognition_in_Linux | 06:27 |
| d_atharva | Apple_Cat : No.. | 06:27 |
| roadfish | julie: I don't really understand the discussion on that webpage I mentioned (about "Group scheduling and alternatives"). Maybe I need to learn more about scheduling. I just naively thought that "renice" would redistribute. IIRC it did this back on Hardy but now isn't working after my Natty upgrade. | 06:27 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok done | 06:27 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, ok got proc dev and sys mounted | 06:28 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, yes | 06:28 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, then reenter the chroot and try again with the grub commands | 06:28 |
| julie | roadfish, renice is fine but you have another bottleneck (not the CPU) that's causing this to appear so strange | 06:29 |
| plustax | alright I got my window problem fixed. Im having an issue installing simple compiz settings. Says that some packages have unmet dependencies. Anyone help me out? | 06:29 |
| julie | roadfish, you could try dstat to see if your waitchew generates a lot of disk activity that would cause this imbalance | 06:30 |
| julie | roadfish, I was initially expecting to see some wait on your top though | 06:31 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok I"m stuck at the "configuring grub-pc" page but I can't go forward how do I select the <ok> | 06:31 |
| MrPPS | plustax: what unment dependancies? | 06:31 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, tab | 06:31 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok tab :P | 06:31 |
| dantonic2 | haha yeah | 06:31 |
| eboyjr | Has anyone had any problems with usb-creator-gtk? Installing to my flash drive isn't working. ("Installation failed") It doesn't give a reason why... (Ubuntu 11.04) | 06:31 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, lol :) | 06:32 |
| plustax | im not sure mrpps | 06:32 |
| plustax | should I take a screenshot of the error for you? | 06:32 |
| roadfish | julie: what do you mean by "see some wait"? | 06:32 |
| MrPPS | plustax: you can just pastebin it for me :) | 06:32 |
| MrPPS | plustax: and the command you ran to get the error | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | eboyjr: did you MD5 test the ISO you used? | 06:32 |
| eboyjr | ActionParsnip, No, I'll try now, where can I get the md5s? | 06:33 |
| julie | roadfish, when the disk is too busy then the system generates CPU wait cycles | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !hashes | 06:33 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 06:33 |
| eboyjr | ActionParsnip, THanks | 06:33 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, so which would I select? the sdb5? | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | eboyjr: please MD% FIRST in future | 06:33 |
| plustax | mrpps I just tried to install simple compiz settings from ubuntu software center | 06:33 |
| plustax | here | 06:33 |
| julie | roadfish, that isn't your case but I'm suspecting it might be near which would explain why it balances the load this way | 06:33 |
| plustax | MrPPS, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/screenshot1.png | 06:34 |
| MrPPS | plustax: do an: | 06:34 |
| MrPPS | sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm | 06:34 |
| MrPPS | in the console | 06:34 |
| ksinkar | i had made some users on my system yesterday | 06:34 |
| roadfish | julie: ok, thanks for taking a look. Basically, you're saying that I'm using renice properly. But some other factor is messing up the CPU allocation. I guess I'll let my subconscious work on it for a while. | 06:34 |
| MrPPS | and tell me what it's missing in the output | 06:34 |
| MrPPS | i have a feeling you just can't see it due to text colours | 06:34 |
| eboyjr | ActionParsnip, The hashes do* match | 06:35 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok I installed it to the main sdb partition | 06:35 |
| plustax | MrPPS, The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 06:35 |
| plustax | simple-ccsm : Depends: python-compizconfig (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed | 06:35 |
| plustax | Depends: compizconfig-settings-manager (>= 0.8.2) but it is not going to be installed | 06:35 |
| plustax | E: Broken packages | 06:35 |
| eboyjr | ActionParsnip, Should I try unetbootin? | 06:35 |
| julie | roadfish, you don't need to understand it more than that, but you could learn how to pause a process instead of just killin git | 06:35 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, I think that's where it was before | 06:35 |
| dantonic2 | am I done? | 06:35 |
| MrPPS | plustax: have you enabled the multiverse and universe repositories? | 06:35 |
| julie | s/git/it/ | 06:35 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, yo uinstall it to /dev/sdb | 06:35 |
| plustax | MrPPS, not that I know of. I'm a bit of a linux noob, to be honest. | 06:35 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, and then do update-grub | 06:36 |
| dantonic2 | ok | 06:36 |
| magn3ts | Hm, Maybe I should rethink my thoughts about GNOME. With GNOME3, their approach to css, etc, their broadway html5 backend.... pulseaudio... they could really display a remote application in your browser with audio ability easily. | 06:36 |
| magn3ts | They're enabling applications to target the web, trivially. | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | eboyjr: if the ISO is good then yes | 06:36 |
| dantonic2 | celthunder, ok done | 06:36 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | Hi all. Where do I specify the default browser? | 06:36 |
| MrPPS | plustax: alright, in that case, easiest way is to go into your synaptic package manager, and tick the boxes to enable them | 06:36 |
| MrPPS | plustax: let me know once that's done | 06:36 |
| celthunder | dantonic2, ok see pm | 06:36 |
| plustax | MrPPS, where is synaptic package manager? | 06:37 |
| plustax | nvm | 06:37 |
| html_inprogress | how do i know my ubuntu ip ? | 06:37 |
| magn3ts | html_inprogress, that's a loaded question | 06:37 |
| MrPPS | plustax: depends one your version of *buntu, but generally under system administration ;) | 06:37 |
| magn3ts | html_inprogress, do you mean your internal or external ip address? | 06:37 |
| MrPPS | html_inprogress: Go to terminal > type: ifconfig | 06:37 |
| eboyjr | html_inprogress, local ip, internal ip, or external? | 06:37 |
| plustax | MrPPS, there seems to be thousands of things with the universe and multiverse () | 06:38 |
| MrPPS | plustax: go to Settings > Repositories | 06:38 |
| MrPPS | plustax: in that first window, tell me if they have ticks next to them | 06:39 |
| eboyjr | ActionParsnip, unetbootin doesn't support 11.04, so I'm not sure if it will work | 06:39 |
| plustax | They do indeed MrPPS | 06:39 |
| html_inprogress | i want my ip, so i can stream vlc player, a dvd,to play next door to my gf house, which she dont have a dvd player on her pc(netbook) | 06:39 |
| MrPPS | plustax: then I would go to a terminal and type this: | 06:39 |
| celthunder | html_inprogress, whatismyip.com | 06:39 |
| cablop | i was using chatzilla a lot in the past, but i'm realizing after long time of having it open it is starting to eat tons of resources | 06:39 |
| MrPPS | sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install python-compizconfig compizconfig-settings-manager | 06:40 |
| wildgoose | 173-29-215-92 | 06:40 |
| MrPPS | plustax: and tell me what it says after that | 06:40 |
| Dantonic | celthunder still grub rescue... hey I have to get to bed... waking up in 5 hours maybe I'll give it a shot on monday... I'm going on a cruise this weekend :) | 06:40 |
| cablop | is there any good irc client recommended for ubuntu? if it works also in windows it is a plus | 06:40 |
| MrPPS | cablop: Quassel | 06:40 |
| html_inprogress | celthunder, internal ip off my router | 06:40 |
| MrPPS | cablop: works in windows, linux, and mac | 06:40 |
| celthunder | html_inprogress, ifconfig | 06:40 |
| MrPPS | and can have decentralised core and client | 06:40 |
| MrPPS | or combined :) | 06:40 |
| julie | html_inprogress, do you know how to map your router's ports? | 06:40 |
| html_inprogress | ok thanks!:) | 06:40 |
| celthunder | Dantonic, ok gl sorry i wasn't able to help you with the grub issue i'll do some research and shit for ya | 06:40 |
| cablop | mrpps is it java or something like that? | 06:41 |
| html_inprogress | julie, no , whats that ? | 06:41 |
| Dantonic | ok np thanks anyway u don't have to do that | 06:41 |
| MrPPS | cablop: qt4 | 06:41 |
| MrPPS | cablop: static binaries have it inbuilt, i believe | 06:41 |
| Dantonic | ok good night | 06:41 |
| plustax | MrPPS, it installed a bunch of stuff. I tried installing the simple compiz manager again and no dice. Same error. | 06:41 |
| MrPPS | plustax: hmm, I'd probably suggest just going with the plain compizconfig-settings-manager | 06:42 |
| MrPPS | rather than the "simple" one | 06:42 |
| plustax | MrPPS, Unless you can tell me of a way to enable desktop cube without it? I cant find a way to add more homescreens. I just have two right now and I can flip them like the cube | 06:42 |
| julie | html_inprogress, to get an external connection to reach your machine, you access the external IP from your gf's computer and it gets into your router which then either block it or send it to the local machine that's configured for that port | 06:42 |
| cablop | ok, taking note, quassel... any other alternative? | 06:42 |
| MrPPS | plustax: more home screens? like more desktop spaces? | 06:42 |
| plustax | yeah MrPPS I have the regular one. But I cant figure out how to create the cube. I just have 2 desktop spaces | 06:42 |
| plustax | yes | 06:42 |
| julie | html_inprogress, and if that wasn't enough, you may have a firewall to adjust on your ubuntu installation as well | 06:43 |
| frankS2 | Hi, Im installing nagios-nrpe-server, and by some reason this wants to install samba? Is there any sane explanation to this? | 06:43 |
| cablop | plustax, what is your issue? | 06:43 |
| MrPPS | plustax: which version of ubuntu?> | 06:43 |
| plustax | lol yeah im an android user | 06:43 |
| plustax | MrPPS, 11 classic. Unity was too buggy | 06:43 |
| html_inprogress | how do i fix the firewall ? | 06:43 |
| html_inprogress | julie, how do i fix the firewall? | 06:43 |
| MrPPS | plustax: in the bottom right, do you have the desktop switch applet? | 06:43 |
| plustax | yes | 06:43 |
| cablop | plustax sadly 11.04 is too buggy too and many compiz, gtk gnome issues around | 06:44 |
| MrPPS | plustax: right click that > properties | 06:44 |
| MrPPS | plustax: then change number of desktops :) | 06:44 |
| cablop | plustax just don\ t press alt+spacebar | 06:44 |
| plustax | ohh okay | 06:44 |
| plustax | nice that worked! | 06:45 |
| cablop | plustax: don't use simple compiz manager and don't use compiz fusion icon, 11.04 comes with a newer compiz and those items weren't ported to that version | 06:45 |
| plustax | Thank you! | 06:45 |
| MrPPS | plustax: sweet :) brb | 06:45 |
| plustax | cablop, thank you I wont! | 06:45 |
| plustax | MrPPS, you're the man thanks a bunch | 06:45 |
| cablop | and i also suggest you to use the compiz setting manager and tweak each component to make it work, if you enabled the cube, i dunno why, many many things got disabled by default in compiz, even the opengl stuff, | 06:46 |
| cablop | so you need to enable them by hand, things like move window, resize window and so on | 06:46 |
| MrPPS | plustax: not a problem :) | 06:47 |
| cablop | and plustax take care gtk-window-manager is buggy with compiz in natty, a lot, i think because they hardwired the gtk to that unity thing | 06:47 |
| julie | html_inprogress, I don't know which firewall you would have if you do have one but you could check "iptables -L" and "ufw status" to see if they have any rules | 06:47 |
| plustax | ah okay | 06:47 |
| plustax | I wish I could use the unity bar at the same time as the classic setup | 06:47 |
| plustax | It is COOL looking | 06:47 |
| brown_fern | cablop: Try Pidgin: http://pidgin.im/ It runs on multiple OSes and features an IRC client among many other things. | 06:47 |
| MrPPS | plustax: you can sorta emulate it with awn | 06:47 |
| plustax | MrPPS, right, yeah | 06:48 |
| cablop | i think ubuntu must fix natty cds and repos with a big advice that says DO NOT UPGRADE TO NATTY | 06:48 |
| julie | html_inprogress, to configure your router properly, you will need to know which port is used by your VLC player and ubuntu's local ip (obtainable with ifconfig) | 06:48 |
| MrPPS | cablop / brown_fern: i used pidgin, but quassel is much better in the end :P | 06:48 |
| cablop | brown_fern: mmm, nice, second alternative | 06:48 |
| plustax | linux is hard, man. I wish they had an android OS out for laptops :< | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: they do | 06:48 |
| MrPPS | plustax: they do | 06:48 |
| MrPPS | haha | 06:48 |
| plustax | what | 06:49 |
| MrPPS | plustax: they've also got "MeeGo" - relatively simple Linux based OS | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: linux isn't hard, its just that you havent usd it as along as other OSes | 06:49 |
| plustax | wait wait wait | 06:49 |
| MrPPS | plustax: I've got a disabled copy of android on my netbook | 06:49 |
| plustax | There is a laptop android os? | 06:49 |
| cablop | MrPPS, brown_fern i use pidgin as workarround, so i think i'm not going to use it to hardwire it to irc | 06:49 |
| plustax | GTFO | 06:49 |
| brown_fern | MrPPS: My experience is limited here, I'll have to try quassel at some point in time. | 06:49 |
| plustax | Is it functional and useful? | 06:49 |
| cablop | plustax... don't go for an android on a laptop | 06:49 |
| MrPPS | cablop: main problem with pidgin is it doesn't recognise a lot of commands directly, so you have to /quote them | 06:49 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: go research dude, you'll find it | 06:49 |
| plustax | cablop, no? | 06:49 |
| MrPPS | plustax: i didn't much like it | 06:49 |
| plustax | well I imagine it can limit the power of the laptop | 06:50 |
| MrPPS | plustax: but i can't compare it to the phone one, as I use maemo for my phone | 06:50 |
| cablop | android is an OS for mobile devices, a laptop is a full computer, you are going to miss to use the full power of your laptop | 06:50 |
| MrPPS | so it could just be as functional, or less | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: how do you mean "power" | 06:50 |
| plustax | MrPPS, what phone do you have? | 06:50 |
| MrPPS | ActionParsnip: i presume capabilities | 06:50 |
| MrPPS | plustax: Nokia n900 | 06:50 |
| tripelb | I click allow on this adobe flash camera thing from a website and nothing happens | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MrPPS: depends on use | 06:50 |
| MrPPS | ActionParsnip: I agree, just putting in my interpretation ;) | 06:50 |
| cablop | in the other hand... you can get that android for x86 processors and run it on a virtual machine inside your laptop, this would be to have the best of both world in one machine | 06:50 |
| plustax | ActionParsnip, I want android look and feel, but with the capability of ubuntu. webcam stuff, etc etc. Without having to get apps for EVERYTHING | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: depends on needs and use, android may fit the requirements perfectly | 06:50 |
| plustax | cablop, ah okay. | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | plustax: have a play is all I can recommend, you'll break yourOS a lot but you'll learn a lot | 06:51 |
| plustax | ActionParsnip, yeah I think I might. I have everything backed up so its no big deal. | 06:51 |
| tripelb | colonsodigitalcachefly.net wants access to my camera and I cant give it a yes. | 06:51 |
| plustax | When does chromium OS come out? I've been dying to try that. | 06:51 |
| cablop | plustax in few words and a real case, i ditched windows xp on my netbok and installed ubuntu on it, i use full gnome interface and compiz with the cube effect on it, it is running | 06:52 |
| cablop | much much better with it | 06:52 |
| plustax | tripleb go to google type in flash settings manager. second to last tab. allow the site. | 06:52 |
| cablop | ah, i foorgto to say i use full disk encryption and i barely notice it on the netbook | 06:52 |
| plustax | hmm | 06:52 |
| tripelb | plustax maybe I can help you with linux. Have you used mac or windows as well as android? | 06:52 |
| MrPPS | cablop: what algorithm? | 06:53 |
| cablop | hm | 06:53 |
| cablop | the default one, except i changed the size from 256 to 128 | 06:53 |
| plustax | I have a windows 7 pc, an ubuntu 11 laptop which im on now, another macbook air, an original droid1, and a nook color running android 3.0 honeycomb | 06:53 |
| plustax | I root android devices for a living, actually. | 06:54 |
| MrPPS | cablop: fair enough | 06:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | adb oem unlock ;) | 06:54 |
| spass | noone has spectrum or amiga anymore... | 06:54 |
| plustax | cablop, ^^ | 06:54 |
| cablop | plustax i recommend you only one of two distros, Lucid aka 10.04 or Maverick aka 10.10, they're pretty stable and still supported, 10.04 is the more stable of them and you won't suffer a lot | 06:54 |
| plustax | distros of linux? | 06:55 |
| cablop | they come with gnome classic and many many people know how to fix things on those versions | 06:55 |
| cablop | sorry i wanted to say versions of ubuntu | 06:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | plustax: 10.04LTS is very stable | 06:55 |
| plustax | cablop, I feel you. I'm not entirely hopeless. I am a linux noob but I know enough about android to move about pretty easily. Im more used to ubuntu at this point. | 06:55 |
| cablop | 11.04 came with unity by default, a new compiz and many other new things a few people know about and when a bug raises you have to be very patience | 06:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | but 12.04LTS is going to be even better when it is released | 06:56 |
| plustax | yeah I was running lucid lynx which I liked | 06:56 |
| plustax | never should have upgraded | 06:56 |
| spass | oh new version means always a new bugs. that's normal. | 06:56 |
| plustax | Not a big deal. I'm understanding of it. I always have this channel when I need help. Everyone in here is usually pretty awesome. | 06:57 |
| cablop | yes, the recommendation in many forums and other channels is stick to the LTS until the next, you can get many PPAs (something like extra repositories) to add new stuff like firefox4, google chrome, opera askype virtualbox... | 06:57 |
| plustax | brb cigarette | 06:58 |
| cablop | but, from my point of view, when they invented the LTS concept, the LTS was a nice thing, stable and solid, the next release was a real improvement of it, nice, and polished, with a few unstable things... the next two releases are like unstable experiments on what would or could be the next LTS and must be avoided | 06:58 |
| cablop | except if you are testing and conributing to the community | 06:59 |
| plustax | anyone know if chromium os is out yet for beta testing? | 07:04 |
| plustax | im really interested in that | 07:04 |
| Flannel | plustax: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. | 07:04 |
| celthunder | plustax, chromiumos is released on a few devices...sort of a failos though | 07:05 |
| RevSpecies116 | You are welcome, Flannel | 07:05 |
| plustax | ah, :/ | 07:05 |
| cablop | plustax hehe, dunno why they do that too often, and it does feel really aggresive | 07:08 |
| plustax | yeah that was mean :< | 07:08 |
| cablop | plustax: anyway, it is indeed offtopic, | 07:08 |
| RevSpecies116 | Far far too agressive - if you are talking about Flannel | 07:08 |
| plustax | haha | 07:08 |
| plustax | Flannel, respectfully I ask you to take your negativity to #blog | 07:09 |
| plustax | I will provide to you further support from there. | 07:09 |
| ozzloy | i'm testing out a screen+irssi+local notification thing, someone say ozzloy please | 07:09 |
| plustax | Flannel, jk ilu | 07:09 |
| dex7772 | Hello to everybody. Sorry for my question, but i cant find helpful manual about samba4. I install package, and in setting up i had error message 'unknown parameter encountered' and many parameters 'max log size, syslog, unix password sync, and other' How can i solve this? | 07:10 |
| cablop | plustax, but in few words, afaik, people have many many concerns about that os, one, it is not really that open source, two, it is going to be released much more like android, you can get a custom version for your device, but barely s sth you can download and install on your PC, and three, your date lves in the cloud, on google servers... not on your pc... so, in just one word FAIL | 07:10 |
| plustax | yeah that sounds fail tbh | 07:10 |
| Flannel | cablop: Please, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for support for Ubuntu, not general questions. | 07:10 |
| RevSpecies116 | Atually, Flannel , I have a support question for you. I have a whole bunch of mp3's and ogg's and I would like to embed the album art within each file. How do I go about doing that - I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS | 07:11 |
| jxa | ~~~~blabluga | 07:11 |
| jxa | blabluga | 07:11 |
| plustax | lolol I could word it like this. Im on Ubuntu 11 and I have some questions about if it would be a good idea to switch to chromium os and what the benefits would be of switching or not. Or even if the OS is available. | 07:12 |
| celthunder | cablop, lol yep | 07:12 |
| RevSpecies116 | ChromiumOS has its roots in Ubuntu, actually :) | 07:13 |
| plustax | tell me more about that | 07:13 |
| plustax | how ubuntu is completely connected to it | 07:13 |
| Flannel | dex7772: If you don't get any responses here (since we seem to be in a lull right now) you can try #samba as well. But you'll need to register to speak there (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration ) | 07:13 |
| cablop | flannel, if you were payng attention to plustax concerns you knew he was trying to determine how good will be to use ubuntu instead any other alternative | 07:13 |
| RevSpecies116 | Flannel, I would like some help embedding album art into mp3 and ogg files on 10.04LTS. How do I go about doing that? | 07:14 |
| cablop | also, my policy is, if to give a short answer to somebody here or any other channel is lower and more gentle than throwing him to another channel, then i answer, if the effort is too big i politely tell him where to go for further and more complete help | 07:14 |
| plustax | RevSpecies116, doesnt banshee do that with art just dropped in the folder? | 07:14 |
| nonamer | RevSpecies116: chromium os is based on gentoo.. not on ubuntu.. | 07:15 |
| plustax | cablop, for OP tbh | 07:15 |
| RevSpecies116 | http://blogs.computerworld.com/15127/ubuntus_canonical_and_google_partner_to_create_chrome nonamer | 07:16 |
| cablop | and dex7772 i think you could get more help about your samba4 isues in samba or ##linux channels, but give me a sec | 07:17 |
| cablop | !samba4 | 07:17 |
| nonamer | yes, i also thought like that but it uses gentoos package manager and it is based on gentoo.. | 07:17 |
| RevSpecies116 | plustax: I try and avoid programmes that use MONO | 07:17 |
| nonamer | i'll check for the link where i found this. | 07:17 |
| cablop | +1 about the mono thing | 07:18 |

| morpheus_ | any indian arround here | 07:18 |
| cablop | RevSpecies116: dunno if that ubuntu media distro is still out there, maybe some software there could help | 07:19 |
| nonamer | RevSpecies116: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814932.html | 07:19 |
| RevSpecies116 | I really wish Flannel would help though, considering it wants to keep things on a support level basis | 07:19 |
| cablop | revspecies, maybe easytag could do that for you... | 07:19 |
| Flannel | RevSpecies116: Apparently you can do it in Rhythmbox. | 07:20 |
| cablop | my bad, this stuid ubuntu is ignoring mymouse now | 07:20 |
| nonamer | also the wikipedia tells the same thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_OS | 07:20 |
| nonamer | sorry for offtopic... | 07:20 |
| morpheus_ | can any body here help me installing connon LBP2900 in ubuntu11.04 | 07:20 |
| plustax | RevSpecies116, yeah rhythmbox and banshee can do this | 07:21 |
| m_31 | eu.org | 07:21 |
| joseph__ | Hey all, I've been on 11.04 since release and I'm getting constant reproducible crashes of X when I switch from a secondary user account to the primary. I'm running an nvidia geforce 9500GT with driver 173.14.30. Can anyone help? | 07:21 |
| cablop | ok | 07:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | I have Rhythmbox, Flannel - I'll give that a try. And cablop I will look for EasyTAG - I know embedding the artwork is something to do with the metatags | 07:22 |
| cablop | now i have a real support question...my recentl;y installed 10.04 is not recognizing my mouse | 07:22 |
| noisewaterphd | joseph__: you mean you log out of one account and then into another and X crashes? | 07:22 |
| Flannel | cablop: PS2 or USB? | 07:22 |
| joseph__ | yes, or try to do a fast switch | 07:22 |
| cablop | usb | 07:22 |
| RevSpecies116 | nonamer: Looks like Google is picking from the best Linux has to offer - Ubuntu, Gentoo, and others :) | 07:22 |
| noisewaterphd | cablop: wireless or wired | 07:23 |
| cablop | wired | 07:23 |
| xenland | Whats up chat | 07:23 |
| cablop | two different wired mouses to tell the truth | 07:23 |
| noisewaterphd | cablop: try another usb device on same port | 07:23 |
| joseph__ | noisewaterphd, it only happens if I try to fast switch from the secondary to the primary, or if I log our of the secondary. I get a scrambled screen that looks like chopped up pieces of a screen grab of the secondary account. | 07:23 |
| Flannel | cablop: do you see anything in lsusb? how about tty1 when you unplug/plug it in? | 07:23 |
| cablop | already did | 07:23 |
| noisewaterphd | cablop: just to see if you need mobo drivers or if it's the mouse | 07:23 |
| cablop | i switched the muse of the desktop with the one on the netbook | 07:24 |
| cablop | on the netbook it is working with no issues, on the desktop is failing | 07:24 |
| cablop | i mean both mouses work with no issues in the netnbook and both fail on the desktop | 07:24 |
| cablop | additionaly they were working three hours ago whtn the desktop still had natty | 07:25 |
| cablop | well | 07:25 |
| noisewaterphd | joseph__: sorry, I can't really help, I was just asking because I had a lot of problems with X on 11.04 when I tested it out on my desktop with ATI. Very similar stuff to what you have going on. I didn't even bother to troubleshoot though, went back to 10.10 | 07:25 |
| cablop | i thin the isue is another | 07:25 |
| cablop | the system is frozen | 07:25 |
| cablop | so forgot it... restarting the hard way | 07:25 |
| xenland | Has anyone experienced upgrading ubuntu and then the keyboard dosent work upon boot? I might note that the keyboard does work in recovery mode right away | 07:26 |
| MrPPS | xenland: my upgrade worked smoothly, sorry | 07:26 |
| MrPPS | and that would be the first time i've apologised for a smooth upgrade :P | 07:27 |
| cablop | LOL | 07:27 |
| morpheus_ | no upgrade was fine | 07:27 |
| morpheus_ | though i have faced issues with compiz | 07:27 |
| morpheus_ | afterwards | 07:27 |
| cablop | does that quassel client for irc has bugs, any bugs? or is failry stable enough? | 07:27 |
| MrPPS | cablop: only bug I've seen, is in Macs, when you hit "tab" to complete a name, it deselects the typing field, and you have to hit tab a second time to reselect | 07:28 |
| MrPPS | cablop: other than that, it's been bug-free for me | 07:28 |
| MrPPS | and surprisingly useful, and "beautiful" | 07:28 |
| morpheus_ | @ MrPPS | 07:28 |
| morpheus_ | can u help me with compiz | 07:29 |
| MrPPS | morpheus_: depends what the issue is :P | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | how do i get it to work with unity | 07:29 |
| cablop | and about performance... is it a resource hog like chatzilla? | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | in ubuntu | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | well i am using | 07:29 |
| MrPPS | morpheus_: have you installed the compizconfig-settings-manager? | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | 11.04 | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | yes i did | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | and made some changes | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | after that | 07:29 |
| FloodBot1 | morpheus_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:29 |
| morpheus_ | the window borders | 07:29 |
| cablop | morpheus disable compiz fusion icon if you use it before | 07:30 |
| morpheus_ | disappeared | 07:30 |
| cablop | didyou pressed alt+spacebar? | 07:30 |
| MrPPS | morpheus_: also, try restarting unity | 07:30 |
| MrPPS | Alt + F2, then type: unity & | 07:30 |
| cablop | wait Mrpps | 07:30 |
| morpheus_ | well thats what i did finally i uninstalled unity compiz and finally | 07:30 |
| cablop | are you using unity or ubuntu classic? | 07:30 |
| MrPPS | cablop: unity | 07:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | Flannel: Rhythmbox is not doing as you've suggested it can | 07:31 |
| morpheus_ | reinstalled every thing? my q is can i use the effects like i used to do i n previous versions | 07:31 |
| cablop | ok try what morpheus_ said, if not, then try relacing the window manager | 07:31 |
| cablop | sorry | 07:31 |
| cablop | the decorator... mmm | 07:31 |
| morpheus_ | i think there is some prob with the compatibility of these two things | 07:32 |
| morpheus_ | i am scared to use some of the effects now | 07:32 |
| MrPPS | morpheus_: I think compiz is fairly buggy in unity, from what i've heard | 07:33 |
| cablop | the problem from my point of view is cause by two things, one compiz is a new version, they are moving towards compiz+ or sth like that and two, ubuntu 11.04 gtk code is extremely (and harmfuly) oriented to unity | 07:34 |
| morpheus_ | ok | 07:34 |
| acidflash | <acidflash> hi all | 07:35 |
| acidflash | [09:34] <acidflash> i am attempting to mv a folder to another location but its not working | 07:35 |
| acidflash | [09:34] <acidflash> there is no -r switch now | 07:35 |
| acidflash | [09:34] <acidflash> how does one go about doing it in 11.04 ubuntu server? | 07:35 |
| FloodBot1 | acidflash: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:35 |
| cablop | so when you need something that worked fine in gtk-window-decorator it will fail, because it tryis to work for unity instead compiz or classic gnome | 07:35 |
| morpheus_ | so basically i should not mess arround with compiz | 07:35 |
| cablop | acidflash afaik you don't need the -r switch | 07:36 |
| MrPPS | acidflash: works fine for me, like this: | 07:36 |
| cablop | morpheus_: or start with ubuntu classic and tweak compiz a little | 07:36 |
| MrPPS | acidflash: mv dir1 dir2/ | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: gtk is gtk, unity is just a shell, other distros use gtk without unity and it is the same gtk as the one in ubuntu | 07:37 |
| morpheus_ | may be, i actually didnt find unity to be that useful | 07:37 |
| morpheus_ | just window management is better | 07:37 |
| cablop | MrPPS if moving to another partition you should check for the flags to keep permissions anyway | 07:37 |
| MrPPS | cablop: true enough ;) | 07:38 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: do this test, go to ubuntu classic session, then press alt+spacebar in order to raise the window menu, and see how the window decoration dissapears | 07:38 |
| cablop | and no menu raised... maybe because unity is not using the window title part of the window decoration, huh? | 07:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: i dont have ubuntu classic as an option | 07:38 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: i also don't use compiz | 07:38 |
| cablop | natty comes with it by default | 07:39 |
| Ileden | Help! My move operation, done using Nautilus, of over 80GB data from one computer to another (via network) seems to have gotten stuck. Any idea how to troubleshoot? | 07:39 |
| morpheus_ | thanks to both u guys, i needed second opinion on that one. thanks. | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: try using minimal, install lxde, lxdm and unity 2D. I'm using Natty | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: you assume too much | 07:39 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: if you use unity then you have some compiz accel, anyway | 07:39 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: unity 2D doesn't need compiz | 07:40 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i did the test and i know the fix for ubuntu classic | 07:40 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: network connectivity (i.e., ping) still work? | 07:40 |
| cablop | if your windows border dissapear then you need to change the window decorator from gtk-window-decorator to compiz-decorator... | 07:40 |
| rage | Is there a flag for cp or an equivilant of cp that will give me a little report when its complete e.g. Copied 22GB, 35 files? | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: I do have accelleraion, I just choose to se it only when I'm gaming, otherwise unity 2d works just as well and at a fraction of the power | 07:41 |
| cablop | also go to classic and in a command line write | 07:41 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: yes | 07:41 |
| cablop | compiz --replace & and see how it calls something names unity decorator | 07:41 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: i always find it safer to use rsync to transfer files over the network | 07:41 |
| MrPPS | I'd probably suggest doing that, as Nautilus can be a bit buggy | 07:41 |
| ActionParsnip | rage: http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ | 07:42 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: yep, as i told the problem is when you combine the new compiz and gtk in ubuntu | 07:42 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: yea, should've used that, retrospectively thinking. just aren't familiar with it. | 07:42 |
| cablop | i mean in natty | 07:42 |
| === michael is now known as Guest19472 | ||
| ActionParsnip | cablop: i ditched compiz a year or so back, to many breaks for so little gain | 07:42 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: it's fairly easy once you get your head around it :) | 07:42 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: Can rsync be used to move also, not just copy? | 07:42 |
| rage | ActionParsnip: Not after a progress bar, but I'll take a look, might be adaptable | 07:42 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: yes, i believe so | 07:42 |
| ouyes | hi all, I get an OCZ ssd, and I read the production , the ssd has a sata II interface and the read speed should be 200MB/s, but when I did a test using haparm -tT /dev/sda and I got this Timing buffered disk reads: 316 MB in 3.01 seconds = 104.82 MB/sec, it is slow, do I need a better driver for the ssd? | 07:43 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: also, it is simple enough to resume the broken transfer with rsync? In that case I could just cancel the current, stuck, one and pick it up with rsync | 07:43 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: i think the --remove-source-files will do it | 07:43 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: rsync can pick up broken rsync transfers easily | 07:43 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: i'll just keep it on my desktop and netbook, ditching it on the server... dunno why default ubuntu interface comes now with effects by default | 07:43 |
| MrPPS | but ones that have been started with nautilus i'm not so sure | 07:43 |
| MrPPS | because I don't know if rsync has it's own progress file | 07:44 |
| === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego | ||
| ActionParsnip | rage: you could use: copycommand; notify-send "copy done" | 07:44 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: worse comes to worse, if it can't move it, you can always sync it, then rm -rf the source :P | 07:44 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: yes. Well, let's see i guess. | 07:44 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: true | 07:44 |
| rage | ActionParsnip: After a simple listing of how much was copied in particular | 07:44 |
| cablop | ActionParsnip: a few things are very helpful if you tweak compiz to help you avoid injres for using too much the mouse andkeyboard, for me this is enough gain | 07:44 |
| Ileden | It would be interesting to know what on earth made it get stuck, though. | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | rage: that i'm not sure of but you can use notify-send to use the notifier like other apps do | 07:45 |
| rage | ActionParsnip: Yeah thats fine, its easy to know when the copy is done :-) | 07:45 |
| iLLf8d | greetings all can anyone tell me the name of the 8.04 ubuntu wallpaper that was a wooden wall with a turquoise blue metal plate on it? | 07:45 |

| theadmin | Blue1: Yeah, but the wallpaper... No big deal | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | iLLf8d: there is an archive on omgubuntu with all the past wallpapers in, may have it there | 07:46 |
| iLLf8d | yeah I assume someone is still running it =P | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: it is on the server | 07:47 |
| iLLf8d | lookin for that one wallpaper I liked it | 07:47 |
| cablop | iLLf8d: i suggest you to manually download the wallpapers package from ubuntu and open it with an archive manager and get the wallpaper from there | 07:47 |
| owen1 | hi yuka | 07:47 |
| cablop | it would still be on the repos, if not, you can grab a disk and find it on the deb packages iLLf8d | 07:47 |
| iLLf8d | oh ty | 07:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: its supported on the server until April 2013 which is waay past when support for Natty dies off | 07:48 |
| cablop | it would have wallpapers on the name | 07:48 |

| Blue1 | ActionParsnip: didn't know when is the next lts release of ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| tiox | Yes, this is an RGBA question. | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: 8.04 was LTS, 10.04 was LTS. Have a guess ;) | 07:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Blue1: yes :D | 07:49 |

| Blue1 | ActionParsnip: i am on 10.10 atm, i might switch when that comes out. | 07:49 |
| cablop | tiox rgba is on a ppa, but, sadly it is going to break some programs, like gajim, or custom gtk ones | 07:50 |
| RevSpecies116 | Blue1: 12.04LTS is going to be great :) | 07:51 |
| tiox | cablop: Not to worry. If RGBA breaks something, I can investigate the process name and add it into the list of exceptions. | 07:51 |
| tiox | But, I want to enable transparency for Synaptic. WOuld RGBA break it? | 07:51 |
| owen1 | quit | 07:51 |
| cablop | RevSpecies116: why great? | 07:51 |
| Blue1 | RevSpecies116: well I reserve judgement on 11.04 - it seems to have broken a lot of systems. and I am not sold on unity or gnome 3 | 07:51 |
| linagee | is there a way to make it so when I move a dist to a different computer it doesn't rename eth0 to eth1? (I'd like to keep it eth0) | 07:52 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: So what would be the command to try and resume a transfer? Does this seem ok: rsync -rvh --remove-source-files me@host:sourcepath destinationpath | 07:52 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: Hm, I mean: rsync -arvh --remove-source-files me@host:sourcepath destinationpath | 07:52 |
| RevSpecies116 | cablop: A bug-free Unity implementation, Thunderbird, etc etc | 07:52 |
| cablop | RevSpecies116: if you think unity or gnome 3 are things that would make ubuntu 12.04 rock... many many many places on internet are saying that nity is the thing making them starting to think on a different distro | 07:53 |
| tiox | Also, I had an idea. Canonical should have, in the future, something called a "Stable Long Term Support", or SLTS release that's updated only once every four years. | 07:53 |
| yuka_ | owen1: test | 07:53 |
| RevSpecies116 | cablop: That is a vocal minority | 07:53 |
| owen1 | yuka_: hi | 07:53 |
| cablop | 4 yeas is a very long period | 07:53 |
| tiox | I just feel for some reason two years is still top short when Ubuntu Server gets five years. | 07:53 |
| cablop | 2 years is fair enough | 07:53 |
| tiox | too* | 07:53 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: i'd put a -P in there as well | 07:53 |
| MrPPS | Ileden: puts partially transferred files - better for resuming later | 07:54 |
| cablop | RevSpecies116: not a minority, the main concern is unity and gnome3 has very few options for the user... and sadly people like options | 07:54 |
| pinoyoragon | it seems the swap in my new box (10.10) is not active... how would i enable it? It always shows "read swap header failed: Invalid argument" when i try swapon | 07:54 |

| MrPPS | but hey, rm -rf | 07:54 |

| MrPPS | cablop: haha, really? i use it every day :P | 07:57 |
| theadmin | Viliny: wget -O folderpath blahblah | 07:57 |
| * cablop felt that chill again | 07:57 | |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: fstab points to two swaps /dev/mapper/a-swap_1 and /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 | 07:57 |
| tiox | jasongriffee: Meaning? You want to turn on file as executable? | 07:57 |
| Guest19472 | is there any chance of firefox being updated to firefox 4 in ubuntu 10.04 LTS? | 07:57 |
| MrPPS | Guest19472: you can download it from firefox.com | 07:58 |
| tiox | Guest19472: Use the Mozilla PPA. | 07:58 |
| theadmin | Guest19472: Doubtable, get the firefox-stable ppa | 07:58 |
| cablop | pinoy then you need to check your /etc/crypttab tobe sure you are mounting the right partition to hold the right swap | 07:58 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: then when i look at my /etc/crypttab this appears "cryptswap1 /dev/dm-1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" | 07:58 |
| cablop | pinoyoragon: read my previos line | 07:58 |
| jasongriffee | i have a .exe setup file, has to be from disc, disc is cd so unwritable | 07:58 |
| tiox | Yeah, Guest19472, follow theadmin's advice. | 07:58 |
| jasongriffee | getting permission error | 07:59 |
| tiox | Easy as pie to do in Synaptic's GUI | 07:59 |
| cablop | pinoyoragon: /dev/urandom? | 07:59 |
| tiox | jasongriffee: Wine? | 07:59 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: so is my crypttab pointing to the right swap? | 07:59 |
| jasongriffee | yep | 07:59 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: i think i used lvm during installation, everything was automated (10.10) | 07:59 |
| Viliny | theadmin: -O is for writing documents to a file - i get an error saying mines a directory. Is there another command for directiories im not seeing here? | 07:59 |
| tiox | Hmmm... are you doing this as root or with sudo? | 08:00 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Oh... What's the really big deal with getting your cron job to cd to the directory first? | 08:00 |
| Viliny | hmh? | 08:00 |
| jasongriffee | tiox, im assumeing this is a term job? | 08:00 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Or just write a script and run it in the cron job | 08:00 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| Viliny | so wget can't save to a target folder? | 08:01 |
| tiox | Not entirely. Try installing nautilus-gksu and using the right click menu to open where you want tor go with sudo rights. | 08:01 |
| theadmin | Viliny: I might not know how to... Probably there is a way, but I don't have access to a Linux box right now | 08:01 |
| cablop | pinoyoragon: did you edited the LVM or partitions or anything after install? also, why do you have two swaps on fstab, if both are on crypted partitions, then comment the line with the swap not being reffered in the crypttab | 08:01 |
| tiox | Short of that, in terminal type in sudo passwd and assign root with a password. Be sure to disable it (guides on how in the community docs) afterward. | 08:01 |
| RevSpecies116 | cablop: Ubuntu is going from strength to strength - Unity will not be the death of Ubuntu, it will be the food we all eat up :) | 08:02 |
| theadmin | tiox: Do not suggest or explain how to set the root password in the channel, ops will scream at ya | 08:02 |
| tiox | And of course, log in as root. Just remember, it's a security hole you're opening up for the operation. | 08:02 |
| tiox | Blah. | 08:02 |
| tiox | If it can be enabled, it can be disabled. | 08:02 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: i didn't edit anything... i was just asked of a passphrase... which i forget already.... | 08:02 |
| Ileden | MrPPS: Is there a way to get rsync to first go through all the files, and then give me an estimate of transfer time? | 08:02 |
| Flannel | Viliny, theadmin: use -P not -O (-P sets a directory for files to go to, not an output file for everything to be concatenated to) | 08:02 |
| tiox | Just to pacify them I'll find the command to randomize the root pass. | 08:02 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Oh, cool, thanks | 08:03 |
| Viliny | Thank you Flannel | 08:03 |
| tiox | There, "passwd -l root" turns off root. | 08:03 |
| theadmin | tiox: Nope, not the way you do it | 08:03 |
| tiox | I knew there was another way, I couldn;t find it in short order. | 08:04 |
| Viliny | Flannel: that worked, the description in the syntax list was a little confusing for me but seems it worked flawlessly. Thank you! | 08:04 |
| Flannel | theadmin: `passwd -l root` is the way to lock the root account. | 08:04 |
| cablop | ah, then if you skipped the unlock of the crypted partition you need to find a way to unlock it, if it is a swap you can just recreate it, look for LUKS on google about how to manually encrypt partitions | 08:04 |
| theadmin | Flannel: The docs say, sudo passwd -dl root | 08:04 |
| === andrew_ is now known as freezway | ||
| MrPPS | Ileden: none that I know of, no | 08:04 |
| MrPPS | brb | 08:04 |
| tiox | Here. sudo passwd -dl root | 08:04 |
| Flannel | theadmin: That just deletes the password as well as locks the account, they both lock the account. | 08:05 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: i commented the other swap then entered this command: swapon /dev/mapper/cryptswap1. No errors but i can't see any activity using system monitor | 08:05 |
| tiox | Right, that's the objective. | 08:05 |
| tiox | But what does d do? | 08:05 |
| freezway | ok, so does anyone here have AV sync issues with kdenlive | 08:05 |
| theadmin | tiox: See what Flannel said | 08:05 |
| Flannel | tiox: deletes the password | 08:05 |
| cablop | prety normal, you need to really demand memory to start using a crypted swap | 08:05 |
| tiox | Oh. | 08:05 |
| jasongriffee | tiox, so, log-in as root? | 08:05 |
| Flannel | tiox: -l locks the account, -dl deletes and locks. | 08:05 |
| tiox | jasongriffee: If you think that will do it. Otherwise see what nautilus-gksu does for you. | 08:06 |
| cablop | pinoyoragon: but if you forgot the pwd of the other partition, then i srongly suggest you to recreate the partition, not a big deal, cause it is kjust a swap | 08:06 |
| tiox | !info nautilus-gksu | jasongriffee | 08:06 |
| ubottu | jasongriffee: nautilus-gksu (source: gksu): privilege granting extension for nautilus using gksu. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.2-5ubuntu2 (natty), package size 5 kB, installed size 80 kB | 08:06 |
| Flannel | but, why are we enabling root anyway? what's wrong with sudo? | 08:06 |
| jasongriffee | nautilus-gksu does not work, is there a extra step? | 08:06 |
| tiox | Flannel: It's an end-all solution. | 08:06 |
| pinoyoragon | cablop: can u guide me on how to recreate it? i can't see it in fdisk -l | 08:07 |
| tiox | But, used sparingly, of course. | 08:07 |
| Flannel | (I've been perusing backscroll, I can't find the original question) | 08:07 |
| cablop | flannel, some people came from other linux distros, not only from windows, they need to do things the way they're used to | 08:07 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Everybody hates sudo for no reason tbh | 08:07 |
| theadmin | Flannel: In Gentoo it's even discouraged *shrug* | 08:07 |
| cablop | i hate sudo, because it makes me feel like using windows vista | 08:07 |
| tiox | theadmin: Because n00bs think admin rights should be sprinkled like fairy dust. | 08:08 |
| Flannel | theadmin: That's because it doesn't make flames shoot out of your computer's fans, but we're looking to support people, even if that means explaining that their habits aren't the best way :) | 08:08 |
| MrPPS | im heading off for a bit, adios | 08:08 |
| tiox | Okay, BRB, gonna wreck my system. | 08:08 |
| Flannel | jasongriffee: What permission error are you getting? | 08:09 |
| Flannel | jasongriffee: You can't read the CD? or what? | 08:09 |
| Viliny | Flannel: are you familiar with wput? im trying to upload a file from a certain directory in my home folder but the output on the server saves the directory structure starting from the root so im seeing a home folder user folder and so on in the target location | 08:09 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Well as for me I always configure sudo the ubuntu way, that is with some admin group | 08:09 |
| cablop | Flannel: sadly this is open source world, at some points there's no better way | 08:09 |
| Flannel | cablop: There's no reason to use root, has not been since 5.10 or so. | 08:10 |
| cablop | flannel i do for maintenance when i need fast scripts to solve issues and not willing to deal with pwd management | 08:10 |
| Flannel | cablop: You don't need to use root for that, you can use sudo -i. | 08:11 |
| cablop | i learned linux the red hat way... so i got used to use root directly | 08:11 |
| cablop | then sudo -i drops me in a root console, making me root... same thing | 08:11 |
| Flannel | cablop: No, it's very different. | 08:11 |
| theadmin | cablop: Different, you don't give out root password to people | 08:11 |
| cablop | but flannel, i know a real case when you need to go directly into root | 08:11 |
| cablop | when you have to move home to a different partition preserving permissions | 08:12 |
| woomla | I've mounted a windows share on server 10.04 and can read but cannot write, what can I do to enable write access? | 08:12 |
| cablop | you cannot have any user using /home at that moment | 08:12 |
| Flannel | cablop: You should be doing that from single user mode/recovery console anyway. | 08:12 |
| cablop | and theadmin if you lose your password it is the same deal if they have root pwd or not | 08:12 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Which is a root account anyway ;) | 08:13 |
| cablop | flannel, nope if you cannot interrupt the activity of a server | 08:13 |
| Flannel | theadmin: But you aren't /enabling/ root. | 08:13 |
| theadmin | Flannel: true... | 08:13 |
| theadmin | cablop: ubuntu on a server? wut? | 08:13 |
| cablop | home server | 08:14 |
| Flannel | woomla: Using Samba? or NFS? | 08:14 |
| cablop | development server on an ntranet | 08:14 |
| woomla | Flannel: I think samba | 08:14 |
| Flannel | cablop: regardless, there's no reason to ever recommend anyone enable the root account in this channel. | 08:14 |
| cablop | i saw people installing ubuntu as server to enable just mysql and pache to test what they're evelopng... ah, and the subversion server | 08:14 |
| Flannel | woomla: And you're on Ubuntu trying to write to Windows? or on Windows trying to write to Ubuntu? | 08:15 |
| cablop | flannel... but... i never understood why is that big fear of using a root account | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cablop: its not fear, its smart | 08:16 |
| woomla | Flannel: I'm on ubuntu server trying to write to windows. I have an entry in fsab //server/share /mnt/share cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0 | 08:16 |
| theadmin | cablop: Cause Ubuntu is for hamsters which tend to do weird things with the root account | 08:16 |
| woomla | *fstab | 08:16 |
| cablop | LOL | 08:16 |
| Flannel | cablop: No fear, but it provides zero/little benefit and has some drawbacks. Also, this channel assumes you have the root account locked, and it cuts down on diagnosis time if we don't have to continue to ask people. | 08:16 |
| wildgoose | theadmin, lmao I see what you did there | 08:16 |
| jasongriffee | how to mount folder as D: drive | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: linux doesn't have "D drive" | 08:17 |
| netspy | jasongriffee not heard of D drive in nix | 08:17 |
| MonkeyDust | jasongriffee: in linux, a harddisk is devided in partitions | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: you can mount a samba share to a folder and access it that way | 08:18 |
| theadmin | jasongriffee: "mount /dev/sdz12 /media/D\:\ Drive"? lol | 08:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: what do you actually want to achieve? | 08:18 |
| netspy | mounting a folder on his D drive.... | 08:19 |
| Flannel | woomla: I believe you need to mount it with "uid=whatever-your-user-is", that makes you the owner, and able to modify | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | netspy: makes no sense here, I want him/her to use rgular language, not this "D drive" nonsense which Microsoft makes them use | 08:20 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: I believe he's using Wine, and wants to mount it to D: in Wine | 08:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: until we get context, we'll never know :) | 08:20 |
| woomla | Flannel: In cifspw I have username=<myname> password=<my password>. And I'm able to read the contents and copy etc. | 08:21 |
| netspy | nother possibility Flannel! | 08:21 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: If you lastlog him, you'll see he's using Wine to install something from a CD. | 08:21 |
| freezway | hey | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: not sure pidgin has thatbut I get your point | 08:21 |
| freezway | anyone here use kdenlive? | 08:21 |
| Flannel | woomla: That's the password for Windows, the uid=* is the UID for Linux | 08:21 |
| Flannel | woomla: (one tells you what to tell Windows who you are, the latter tells linux who to mount it as) | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jasongriffee: is "D drive" the CD drive of the system per chance? | 08:22 |
| woomla | Flannel: So I put uid=root at the line in fstab? | 08:22 |
| Flannel | woomla: Probably uid=1000 (assuming you're the first user on the system) | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: i guess we'll never know | 08:23 |
| iLLf8d | anyone here running 8.04 ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| woomla | Flannel: It's actually the second user. How again do I get this uid? (i'm rather new to linux) | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | iLLf8d: if they areit will be on server only (most likely) | 08:24 |

| theadmin | woomla: Run "id" in the terminal | 08:25 |
| con-man | backfired | 08:25 |
| Flannel | con-man: Please stop that. | 08:25 |
| freezway | i need help with kdenlive | 08:25 |
| con-man | ok | 08:25 |
| con-man | I did it one time? | 08:25 |
| theadmin | con-man: More than enough :D | 08:25 |
| rage | Hurry up mkfs.ext4! :-( 3TB is taking 20 minutes | 08:25 |
| con-man | troof | 08:25 |
| Flannel | woomla: 'id' will spit out a bunch of stuff, you're looking for the first bit "uid=1001(woomla)" or something similar, that number is your uid | 08:25 |
| woomla | Flannel: got it | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | freezway: I'm sure a good many users use it. Does that answer your question enough. Look on the notice boards for the app, lots of users discussing it. There are kdenlive users. They do exist | 08:26 |
| con-man | you know I implemented an IRC server out of our local datacentre at work which is now used by 200+ employees and all I got for my company changing project was a $50 spotlight award | 08:27 |
| Loshki | rage: 3TB is quite big. Are the disks still being accessed? | 08:27 |
| jasongriffee | i want to run nfshs on wine, that's it | 08:27 |
| rage | Loshki: Yeah, I'm just been impatient I think :-) | 08:27 |
| freezway | ActionParsnip, yeah, i cant find a soln to my problem. Its 1:22AM here and i got 4 hours sleep last night and i have a massive video project due tomorrow. | 08:27 |
| MonkeyDust | alaska? | 08:28 |
| woomla | Flannel: Works! I put uid=1002 in fstab, mount -a and now I can write to the share for this user. | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | freezway: youo may get more replies if you ask you actual question | 08:28 |
| Flannel | woomla: Glad to hear it | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rage: slow drives huh | 08:28 |
| woomla | Flannel: Can i put more uid in fstab? I want other users to have access to. | 08:29 |
| Flannel | woomla: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html might help if you're looking for more information, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently (the latter breaks down each piece and explains it in the fstab options) | 08:29 |
| rage | ActionParsnip: Yeah, its USB2.0. | 08:29 |
| woomla | Flannel: thanx | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rage: then definately slow | 08:29 |
| Viliny | how can i make "mv" create a target directory if it doesn't exist? | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Viliny: just looked in: man mv doesn't look like it's an option | 08:30 |
| Viliny | ActionParsnip: oh bummer | 08:31 |
| theadmin | Viliny: You can't, but you can "mkdir -p TARGETDIR" first. | 08:31 |
| Flannel | woomla: You can only specify one uid (because that becoems the "owner" of the files, but you *can* specify a gid (group ID), and then let that group have access. But I imagine this problem is more common than just you, so someone may have a more elegant solution | 08:31 |
| freezway | ActionParsnip, yeah, i did. i stated that i cant get AV to sync and i get weird artifacts | 08:31 |
| Viliny | and if it's a bash script that does this several times a day? how does mkdir like existing directories? | 08:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Viliny: by using a script, like "if [directory not exist] then [create directory] | 08:32 |
| theadmin | Viliny: It doesn't. How about combining that with an "if [ ! -d directory ]"? | 08:32 |
| cablop | now i'm rying to figure how to connect to freenode from quassel... quassel seems like a pidgin... to simple to setup so i don't know what to do xD | 08:32 |
| woomla | Tx Flannel, I hope someone read that and can give me some links to how to enable groups rights on windows shares. | 08:32 |
| Viliny | theadmin: im not sure if i know the bash syntax for if clauses though | 08:32 |
| bazhang | cablop, help in #quassel as well | 08:32 |
| theadmin | Viliny: help if | 08:33 |
| cablop | thjanks bazhang | 08:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Viliny: this is the time to learn it, what you want is not too complicated | 08:33 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Simpliest way for you: [ ! -d targetdir ] && mkdir -p targetdir | 08:34 |
| Viliny | -d means directory? | 08:34 |
| Viliny | does that line work in a way that if the first command fails the sceonds doesn't get executed by default? | 08:35 |
| Flannel | woomla: Seems the group thing is what this recommends: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#Multiple%20Users However, you might also try adding "noperm" instead of uid=*, see if that works. | 08:35 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Yeah, && executes the second operand if the first operand succeeds | 08:35 |
| MonkeyDust | idd | 08:35 |
| jjp | Viliny: you can also use 'test' command (test -d) | 08:35 |
| theadmin | Viliny: And yeah, -d means "file exists and is a directory" | 08:36 |
| Viliny | okay, thanks a lot theadmin, you've been of great help | 08:36 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Therefore, "!-d" means "file doesn't exist or isn't a directory" :D | 08:36 |
| Flannel | woomla: The latter suggestion comes from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 (search for samba), it is old though (2006), so that's why I'm not sure if it will work. But we can try it! | 08:36 |
| Viliny | okay :) | 08:36 |
| woomla | Flannel: I'll give it a try | 08:37 |
| Viliny | [ ! -d /home/viliny/reknro/$(date +"%m-%d-%y") ] && mkdir -p /home/viliny/reknro/$(date +"%m-%d-%y") | 08:37 |
| Viliny | sooo that should then work | 08:37 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Probably will | 08:37 |
| Viliny | how do the [ brackets work in this case? | 08:38 |
| Viliny | i mean, the first part is isolated but the second part isn't | 08:38 |
| theadmin | Viliny: [ ] is just a shortcut to the "test" command | 08:38 |
| tiox | Sweetnas. I have Emerald working from a PPA, Darkness theme installed, recompiled Murrine and easily created a custom set of colors for it. :P | 08:38 |

| theadmin | BuenGenio: ifconfig, lol | 08:41 |
| freezway | Loshki, its a shitpit of sfks | 08:41 |
| BuenGenio | theadmin, yah thanks :) something that will be persistent across reboots | 08:41 |
| theadmin | BuenGenio: Hm, files under /etc | 08:42 |
| BuenGenio | ok, another excuse to use vi then! ;) | 08:42 |
| theadmin | BuenGenio: With Arch it'd be the INTERFACES= section of rc.conf, but not sure on Ubuntu. ALso don't use vi, use vim | 08:42 |
| MonkeyDust | BuenGenio: nano is easier to use | 08:42 |
| lesshaste | how do I handle this "ghost" package? | 08:42 |
| BuenGenio | theadmin, vi aliases to vim | 08:42 |
| napnap | /join #php | 08:42 |
| theadmin | lesshaste: Maybe just "dpkg -r" it? | 08:43 |
| BuenGenio | nano is for malnourished admins | 08:43 |

| kratosk | theadmin: its not working that way... | 08:51 |
| Juv1228 | cant figure this out. lxe works fine, but if i try and manually specify xorg and fluxbox instead of gdm or something during the livecd build it doesnt boot correctly | 08:51 |
| Viliny | theadmin: i got an error running my script, where should i look for the fault if i get this: -bash: ./rek: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 08:52 |
| === dave__ is now known as luw | ||
| Juv1228 | "startpar: service(s) returned failure: live-config ... failed! | 08:53 |
| theadmin | Viliny: Sounds like your script is not proper Unicode or you have some weird ^M at the end of the interpreter line | 08:53 |
| Juv1228 | then it drops to login prompt instead of auto setting up the environment | 08:53 |
| Juv1228 | user/live credentials work, yet fluxbox still doesnt start up. 'startfluxbox' fails with not being able to contact the xorg server | 08:54 |
| Juv1228 | if i 'xinit' it all works beautifully | 08:54 |
| Juv1228 | what am i missing thats preventing xorg from starting at boot to begin with? | 08:54 |
| theadmin | Juv1228: Suggestion is to add "startfluxbox" to your ~/.xinitrc and start xinit at boot xD | 08:54 |
| Viliny | theadmin: http://pastebin.com/yKSgDP9y | 08:55 |
| Juv1228 | ya, exec startfluxbox is in .xinitrc | 08:55 |
| Juv1228 | where would i put xinit to start at boot before login prompts? | 08:55 |

| theadmin | Viliny: Yeah | 08:58 |
| Viliny | thank you sir | 08:58 |
| woomla | theadmin: ok, but my question is how to make the share writeable for everyone. | 08:58 |
| theadmin | woomla: Okay, I'm of no help there | 08:58 |
| Viliny | woomla: are you 100% on that the windows machine allows writing to that shared folder? | 09:00 |
| woomla | Viliny: yes, su can write to it | 09:01 |

| woomla | spass: I've an entry in fstab, how can I tell which users connects? | 09:02 |
| spass | woomla: smbfs ? | 09:02 |
| woomla | spass: I believe that's my problem. I want group write to it | 09:02 |
| woomla | spass: yes samba | 09:03 |
| spass | you can connect a share with a user password | 09:03 |
| spass | if that user has perms there, he will be able to connect there | 09:03 |
| spass | dunno about group, you would have to see manual | 09:03 |
| woomla | spass: I have //server/share /mnt/share cifs exec,credentials=file 0 0 | 09:04 |
| woomla | in file are username=<username> password=<password> these are the windows usr/pwd | 09:04 |
| spass | if that windows user has perms there, then seems you have to permit other users then root to use this mount | 09:05 |
| spass | check perms for /mnt/share, and check smbfs docs for allowing other users using this mount | 09:06 |
| woomla | spass: yes, I think it comes down to that. root can write, now I want to have a group write access | 09:06 |
| woomla | maybe it is only a linux rights thing? I have to allow linux users to write to that directory | 09:08 |
| lesshaste | where are MANPATH and INFOPATH set in ubuntu? | 09:08 |
| danslo | lesshaste: assuming /etc/manpath.config | 09:09 |

| danslo | lesshaste: yeah... you could try grep 'MANPATH' -Rs / ;) | 09:11 |
| lesshaste | ah | 09:11 |
| spass | woomla: there is nothing like file_mode or dmask in mount.smbfs | 09:14 |

| DeWe | thanks, llutz and ikonia. | 10:00 |
| DeWe | spass, get a life. | 10:01 |
| ikonia | DeWe: uncalled for too | 10:01 |
| deployment | anyone know how to use local_recipient_maps in postfix | 10:02 |
| DeWe | sorry, ikonia. reboot required ? | 10:02 |
| ikonia | DeWe: no | 10:02 |
| Firefishe | okay, changing vbox to NAT mode solved the problem | 10:02 |
| llutz | deployment: http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html and #postfix should help | 10:07 |
| siktion | hi. network problem. my machines are pinging each other, but there is no internet on ubuntu. >>> modem (router) <= wifi => windows xp <= LAN => ubuntu 11.04 <<< can you help me, plz? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | siktion: did this not get resolved last night | 10:10 |
| Ileden | Any ideas why I cannot create a keyboard shortcut for WIN+W (MOD4+W)? All other shortcuts with MOD4 work, and I remapped the conflicting "launch help browser" away. What's could be special about MOD4+W? How do I troubleshoot? | 10:10 |
| siktion | ikonia: no | 10:10 |
| ikonia | siktion: is the ubuntu machine plugged into the router ? | 10:10 |
| siktion | ikonia: solution was worse | 10:10 |
| ikonia | siktion: is the ubuntu machine plugged into the router ? | 10:11 |
| theadmin | Ileden: If you have Compiz running, turn that off. It uses the Super key for it's shortcuts | 10:11 |
| mman | siktion, so your ubuntu is connected via LAN to your winxp and your winxp is connected wifi to the modem? | 10:11 |
| tdn | Is there an easy way of deleting all jpeg files in a folder with resolution less than, say, 256xp? (ie. in which both dimensions are less than 256 pixels?) Maybe by using imagemagick or something like that? Or just a program that can sort files by resolution. So I can delete them manually. I tried Gwenview, but it can't. Also gqview cant. | 10:11 |
| llutz | siktion: you need to configure internet-connection-sharing in XP and let ubuntu use your xp-machine as default-gateway. set ips/dns suitable for your lan | 10:12 |

| ikonia | siktion: is your ubuntu machine plugged into the router ? | 10:13 |
| DeWe | llutz, i made my account "slaver" admin but now when i open package manager with it it requires passwordd, and not root's neither slaver's password working with it, what should i do ? | 10:13 |
| siktion | ikonia: network http://paste.pocoo.org/show/403717/ | 10:13 |
| llutz | DeWe: slaver has to relogin | 10:13 |
| spass | tdn: you would have to make a script that checks image with imagemagic and list it to afile if resolution is lower then desired.... then run rm command against that list | 10:13 |
| DeWe | i did | 10:13 |
| ikonia | siktion: I'll ask you one more time, is the ubuntu machine plugged into the router | 10:13 |

| roarke | help, when installed unity from synaptic,the unity dock wont hide and transparency ad shadows dont work. anyone know what should i do? | 10:20 |

| roarke | tried that it still doesnt work | 10:22 |
| llutz | deployment: what part you don't understand? | 10:22 |
| DeWe | response: the user slaver is already a member of admin group | 10:22 |
| theadmin | Ileden: GLaD I helped. | 10:23 |
| tdn | spass, I was hoping for an easier solution. | 10:23 |
| freebsd_fan | I didn't try other users | 10:23 |
| theadmin | DeWe: Run "EDITOR=nano sudo visudo" and add the following line at the end of file: "slaver ALL=(ALL) ALL", after which hit Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X. | 10:23 |
| freebsd_fan | should I? | 10:24 |
| freebsd_fan | :D | 10:24 |
| deployment | llutz: well i'm trying to make my smtp require a username and password to use it. | 10:24 |
| llutz | deployment: that has nothing to do with local_recipient_maps, you want sasl-auth | 10:24 |
| Ileden | theadmin: weird. still didn't work. But doing it via compiz's "commands" plugin does work, so problem solved. Still bugs me a bit what causes it to fail :) | 10:24 |
| roarke | help, when installed unity from synaptic,the unity dock wont hide and transparency ad shadows dont work. anyone know what should i do? i tried changing the auto hide settings and I also tried configuring it i compiz. | 10:24 |

| deployment | llutz: is this a postfix main.cf change | 10:25 |
| ikonia | DeWe: please show me the output of "uname -a" | 10:25 |
| llutz | deployment: yes http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html | 10:25 |

| Moopz | Hey. Simple question I think but I have this program that I run through the terminal, but for some reason, if I do sudo / gksudo ./ it never prompts me for password, which means the program doesn't have sudo access. | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Moopz: sudo and gksudo have grace periods where the password isnt required to be re-entered | 10:48 |
| Moopz | ActionParsnip: but it doesn't prompt me after I restart either. I know the program doesn't have sudo access because it cannot operate properly without it. | 10:48 |

| ActionParsnip | maalac: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list you will get write access, then you can remove the # characters from the lines with repos on, save the new file,close gedit then run: sudo apt-get update | 11:03 |
| sipior | Moopz: and when you run it via sudo, it drops out without prompting for a password? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | maalac: any with single #s, delete the #, if the line has 2 #s, leave them | 11:04 |
| Moopz | sipior: it says it cannot find it when I use sudo: sudo: ise: command not found | 11:04 |
| sipior | Moopz: what about "sudo ./ise"? | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | maalac: leave the CDROM stuff commented out, you have the web to install stuff with | 11:04 |

| maalac | what does it mean when it says restricted ? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | maalac: restricted == no open source | 11:05 |
| sipior | Moopz: or simply provide the full path to the executable, if you prefer. | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | maalac: you'll end up with this: https://pzt.me/4i3b | 11:06 |
| Moopz | sipior: Yeah I forgot that part. It launched but without prompting me for password. Can you force it to prompt the password? | 11:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | lumbert, Why not just drag them and drop using Nautilus? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | maalac: you get the idea | 11:07 |
| lumbert | Sidewinder1, when I tried it said I need permissions | 11:07 |
| sipior | Moopz: you can try "sudo -K" to remove the timestamp, then try again. | 11:07 |
| maalac | yes i do .. | 11:07 |

| lumbert | Sidewinder1, i was also able to make a folder with the mkrdir command, it worked fine | 11:14 |
| engrxyz | it says that python-application: Depends: python (>= 2.6.6-7~) but 2.6.5-0ubuntu1 is to be installed | 11:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | lumbert, Yes, but to write to ntfs/fat32 you need either fuse or ntfs-3g. | 11:15 |
| Alotesnivek | ActionParsnip, Okay, well so far that seemed to have solved the problem. | 11:15 |
| lumbert | Sidewinder1, doesn't the ability to make a folder mean I can write? | 11:15 |
| morgan | my windows are 'lagging' a bit when i move them around. any tips on that? | 11:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | lumbert, If the flash drive is exclusively for ubuntu, you *may* be able to reformat it to ext3 or ext4 using Gparted, but CAUTION! if you do that ALL existing data on there will be lost. | 11:16 |
| lumbert | Sidewinder1, it seems to me i can already write, i just need to go into a permissible state | 11:17 |
| Sidewinder1 | lumbert, I believe that making a directory and writting files are different. | 11:17 |

| Sidewinder1 | SoftarPaul, I believe Synaptic Package Manager has a "fix broken packages" function. | 11:59 |
| jnlsnl_ | when i use cp -R to copy a directory the ownership and permissions are not identical, how can I make a copy which is ? :) | 12:01 |
| SoftarPaul | Sidewinder1: So, how to find that function? | 12:01 |
| oCean | jnlsnl_: I usualy use -a, that has several options, including -p (which is to preserve ownership, permissions) | 12:02 |
| jnlsnl_ | oCean so like this: cp -r -a path/to/dir path/to/dir ? | 12:03 |
| SoftarPaul | I found it Sidewinder1! Thanks! | 12:03 |
| oCean | jnlsnl_: -a is already recursive: cp -av should be sufficient (and nicely verbose) | 12:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | SoftarPaul, System-->Administration--> Synaptic, it should then list all packages, including the broken ones. Then somewhere, within that program, is fox broken packages. | 12:03 |
| jnlsnl_ | oCean ok ty!! :) | 12:04 |
| oCean | jnlsnl_: welcome | 12:04 |

| clakes | CCSM, just like sbuka said | 12:59 |
| kodapa | winXperts: 23 | 13:00 |
| clakes | lol @ winXperts | 13:00 |
| sbuka | mads: Not really, at least at the moment. The only options I know of are through CCSM, or Gunity/Confity, which must be installed through PPA | 13:00 |
| pfifo | !ccsm | this will do that mads- | 13:00 |
| ubottu | this will do that mads-: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 13:00 |
| mads- | What the hell did they think when they switched to unity then? | 13:01 |
| clakes | haha... c'mon... don't be... mads at them mads- =D | 13:01 |
| mads- | hmmpff clakes | 13:02 |
| clakes | classic session for the gnome2 die-hards is still there in the end | 13:02 |
| sbuka | I think Unity's still rough around the edges since it's the first release with it. I don't mind it, but a lot of people do. I think it'll get better over time, though. | 13:02 |
| bazhang | mads-, use classic if you dont like it | 13:02 |
| mads- | How would I go about doing that? | 13:02 |
| clakes | ditto | 13:02 |
| pfifo | mads-, seriously ccsm is NOT ppa and will hid your programs bar, and about over 9000 other options, sudo apt-get install ccsm and configure away | 13:03 |
| sbuka | Log out, and choose Classic from the session menu in GDM login | 13:03 |
| bazhang | mads-, choose it from login window, once you've selected your user | 13:03 |
| mads- | I hope it will get better over time. It looks pretty and all, but it's like they have left out a bit | 13:03 |
| madper | mads-: log out and change your wm | 13:03 |

| esi | Uhm hi, I'm having a problem: just recently, I added 2 GB of RAM, changed my PSU, added an NVidia GeForce 9500GT as well as a new dvd recorder from LG. In any case, my Ubuntu install broke after this, leaving my windows running with some faults regarding CD/DVD reading (I kind of hoped for this, since it is not unusual after doing big changes), thus I decided to reinstall everything. The thing is, whenever I try to boot from a Ubuntu 11.04 USB install, I ... | 13:06 |
| esi | ... select the install option on the UNetBootin boot menu and I recieve the following error: "BUG: Bad page state in process kwormer/u:0 pfn: (... specifics ...)".

| pcoder | Sidewinder1: any suggestions regarding my question?? | 13:33 |
| s3r3n1t7 | esi, you can mix different chips, as long as you make sure they all run on the exact same setting, preferably with each pair of chips in the correct pair slots | 13:33 |
| esi | it evidently does | 13:33 |
| esi | I didn't make the setup myself, to be honest | 13:33 |

| thedeaths | heh mostly just wanted a way to be able to acces the nas at full 2gbps speed (like when copying a game from nas to pc) | 15:02 |
| thisismygame | pfifo: why is that? i dont have video drivers installed yet, i'm guessing. | 15:02 |
| CoolCoder | How to reset keyboard. My external keyboard num lock keys are not working. I have changes the keybord preferences. I dont know how to revert to default settings. Any help? | 15:03 |
| thedeaths | so ye: why cant windows copy paste it that fast :p | 15:03 |
| sipior | Typh: sticky keys aren't an option? | 15:03 |
| thedeaths | it can handle 95% average on 2 seperate pc's both 1gbps,but on teaming it fails :( | 15:03 |
| pfifo | thisismygame, the kernel is now responsible for setting the video mode, however the older drivers still think its taken care of by X | 15:03 |
| julie | thedeaths, something's missing in your description as copy-paste is not a network protocol | 15:03 |
| thedeaths | heh well | 15:04 |
| thedeaths | no idea what network protocol windows would use if i go to \\ubuntu\storage | 15:04 |
| kratosk | is it possible to use wget on a link that redirects you to the file you want? I tend to just get a nonsense garbage file? Or " ERROR 403: Bad hash." | 15:04 |
| sipior | Typh: you can have a look at xmodmap as well, which should allow you to set keys more or less as desired. | 15:04 |
| thedeaths | and copy paste a file there with explorer :p | 15:04 |
| julie | thedeaths, this means you already have a Samba share | 15:04 |
| thedeaths | ye the share and what else works | 15:04 |
| thedeaths | it's just windows (i think) | 15:05 |
| burrburr | I find both using sources.list and PPA a bit confusing. what to prefer in ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| thedeaths | guessing windows isnt using the teamed interface | 15:05 |
| najib | julie: i am looking if the is already any tool/script to generate MAC address | 15:05 |
| julie | thedeaths, I told you before: FTP would be the fastest solution | 15:05 |
| thedeaths | but rather only uses 1 port | 15:05 |
| thedeaths | but ftp is the annoying solution :p | 15:05 |
| julie | oh well | 15:05 |
| MALICEVSKI | can anyone guide me step by step how can i recover my photos from a damaged hard disc | 15:06 |
| MALICEVSKI | pls | 15:06 |
| julie | MALICEVSKI, is it currently unmounted? | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | !info photorec | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Package photorec does not exist in natty | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | Hmm what is the name of that app. | 15:07 |
| MALICEVSKI | i cant get in it | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | MALICEVSKI, you could try dd_rescue or ddrescue to clone/rescue it to an image file then mount the image file and try to access the photos | 15:07 |
| julie | MALICEVSKI, when dealing with damaged drives or lost data, always unmount the drive ASAP | 15:07 |
| julie | !ddrescue | 15:07 |
| pentarex | hey guys can someone tell me why this script is not working http://pastebin.com/mb8vvE9X, I'm starting it, but when I try to stop it it says no such ID | 15:07 |
| MALICEVSKI | how to do that | 15:07 |
| MALICEVSKI | sorry | 15:08 |
| pradeep | does mounting takes a long time. | 15:08 |
| === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG | ||
| dr_willis | check the ddrescue homepage for its ussage. You will need a spare HD with free space the size of the one you want to recover.. | 15:08 |
| === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ | ||
| julie | MALICEVSKI, you basically turn off the machine and restart it with a recovery disk | 15:08 |
| edbian | pradeep: mounting takes less than a second | 15:08 |
| julie | MALICEVSKI, ddrescue is a good option but is a bit complex to use... | 15:09 |
| MALICEVSKI | ill give a try | 15:09 |
| CoolCoder | can anyone help to get back my default external keyboard settings? I have changed the keyboard preference. Now num keys are not working. There is no option to revert to default settings. Any help | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html | 15:09 |
| pradeep | another thing. i checked the partition with the gui mode, it says some bad sectors | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | ddrescue -i0 -s50M /dev/hdc hdimage logfile | 15:09 |
| oCean | Typh: using xmodmap you could modify keymapping | 15:09 |
| julie | MALICEVSKI, also keep in mind that anything you do on the disk, even with the rescue utility might damage it further, so if you have stuff worth real money, you should hire pros | 15:09 |
| oCean | Typh: not sure what you mean by modifier key though | 15:10 |
| MALICEVSKI | i have all my pics there | 15:10 |

| FloodBot1 | CoolCoder: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:10 |
| Typh | oCean: yeah, that | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | this is when you learn to start keeping backups | 15:11 |
| julie | MALICEVSKI, then I can only wish you good luck | 15:11 |
| CoolCoder | no help for this group!!!! | 15:11 |
| pfifo | pentarex, try echo -n, and ensure that the PID is acttually correct | 15:11 |
| oCean | sipior: Typh ok, I know how to change value's for a key, but not sure how to make it differ between 1 stroke and 'hold' | 15:11 |
| oCean | or combination | 15:11 |
| dr_willis | CoolCoder, flooding the question - tends to get you ignored. | 15:11 |
| === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG | ||
| CoolCoder | simple questions even no one can answer in this group. then why this people is here | 15:11 |
| KNUBBIG | Sidewinder1: sorry for changing my nick but that was my auto away when my session crashed :) | 15:12 |
| * pfifo knows the answer | 15:12 | |
| Typh | oCean: yeah, same. I might have to just settle for seperate keys. | 15:12 |
| pradeep | now ubuntu says unable to open /dev/sda stdin; error 0. and halts | 15:12 |
| CoolCoder | i am getting mad. i am on IRC for last 4 years and in Ubunto chat 5th time. No one even responded to my simple isssues. | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | CoolCoder, you dident just hit the NUMlock did you? | 15:12 |
| compdoc | CoolCoder, is it a laptop? | 15:12 |
| oCean | CoolCoder: is that because you have not received reply in 5 minutes? | 15:12 |
| CoolCoder | yes | 15:12 |
| CoolCoder | laptop | 15:12 |
| CoolCoder | dell | 15:12 |
| CoolCoder | and external keyboard | 15:12 |
| edbian | pradeep: You mount a partition (/dev/sda1) not a harddrive (/dev/sda) | 15:12 |
| dr_willis | I cant recall ever seeing differnt settings for the external/laptop keyboards.. | 15:13 |
| === errorcode is now known as errorINcode | ||
| sipior | oCean: Typh: you can use a "keysym" directive to map the desired meta key to whatever you like, but i don't honestly know how it will work when mapped to Space. I assume you have key repeating turned off, Typh? | 15:13 |
| Guest11444 | Is there a specific chat for ubuntu issues on dell machines? | 15:13 |
| wujie | Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q | 15:14 |
| CoolCoder | oCean: i have waited for 2 hours. because somehow i need to get the issues fixed. not this keyboard. another issues. no one even responded. chat is moving so fast. but there is no one to deal with simple issues like this as i am a beginer in Ubuntu | 15:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | KNUBBIG, No prob. :-) | 15:14 |
| wujie | Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q | 15:14 |
| compdoc | CoolCoder, some laptops have blue function keys, and you can enable or disable the num keys with a function key | 15:14 |
| wujie | Linux Kernel V2.6.39.1.deb down : http://dl.dbank.com/c0uh2z9l6q | 15:14 |
| oCean | sipior: I use xmodmap to change keys, for example to change 'left' key to 'backspace' | 15:14 |
| CoolCoder | It was working compdoc: | 15:14 |
| sipior | oCean: sure, this is just an extension of that. | 15:14 |
| Defusal | hi everyone | 15:14 |
| CoolCoder | since i have changed something on keyboard setting | 15:14 |
| Typh | sipior: yeah, I've mapped it to a normally unused modifier, but getting keyup to just output space seems impossible | 15:14 |
| CoolCoder | its like this compdoc: | 15:15 |
| dr_willis | CoolCoder, does it work properly for a newly made user? if so then its just some user config you you can proberly reset/file you can delete. if it affects all users. then it would be a system wide setting | 15:15 |
| Defusal | can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is? | 15:15 |
| oCean | CoolCoder: don't forget it's all volunteers here, let your attitude reflect that | 15:15 |
| KNUBBIG | I'm not sure what wujie is suggesting there :x | 15:15 |
| julie | Guest11444, it wouldn't make sense to have a channel per computer make, just ask your question | 15:15 |
| CoolCoder | dr_willis: ok let me check that | 15:15 |
| CoolCoder | then will comeback | 15:15 |
| Defusal | !sock5 | 15:15 |
| compdoc | CoolCoder, hold down the func key, and type the key that looks like the numpad (in blue) and try to enable it | 15:15 |
| CoolCoder | thanks everyone. This is my first response for you people. good luck. | 15:16 |
| CoolCoder | compdoc: ok | 15:16 |
| * pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled | 15:16 | |
| pradeep | i can boot from windows but now ubuntu now. live boot also collapse | 15:16 |
| sipior | Typh: typing it twice in a row doesn't output Space? | 15:16 |
| Guest11444 | I can't get my machine to suspend or hibernate (fresh install of natty). I've been looking at launchpad bug-reports and the forums. | 15:16 |
| Guest11444 | A lot of users are having the same issue, but no solutions yet | 15:16 |
| Typh | sipior: nope | 15:16 |
| CoolCoder | "pfifo puts 5 bitcoins on CoolCoder having mouse keys enabled" what is this? | 15:17 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, is your swap at least the size of your ram | 15:17 |
| semi-fly | is it possible to grab the alt. cd and install the base ubuntu system then install gnome3 + ubuntu software centre without it installing unity? | 15:17 |
| pfifo | CoolCoder, try pressing shift+numlock | 15:17 |
| Guest11444 | yeah, it worked in maverick | 15:17 |
| Guest11444 | and the partitions are the same size as before | 15:17 |
| oCean | sipior: Typh maybe something like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2581784&postcount=4 | 15:17 |
| CoolCoder | pfifo: not working | 15:17 |
| CoolCoder | ok let me check for new user | 15:18 |
| RenaKunisaki | has anyone else been having their USB controllers crash on AMD64 Xubuntu 11.04? | 15:18 |
| CoolCoder | and will come back | 15:18 |
| CoolCoder | thanks all | 15:18 |
| pfifo | CoolCoder, better press it again cause that enabled it and that will make things even worse | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | do you guys notice google-linux is no more ...I guess it's relavence was questioned once too often , because I noticed lately that a lot of searches were so. | 15:18 |
| Typh | oCean: that looks promising | 15:18 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, to be exact: my swap is 9gb and i have 4gb of ram | 15:18 |
| RenaKunisaki | sudden spew of errors followed by messages that suggested several USB devices had just been connected (which really had been connected a long time ago), and now I/O errors from a USB disk | 15:18 |
| oCean | Typh: I think so, I hope it's useful.. I have to run afk for a while. | 15:19 |
| sipior | oCean: Typh: might be a way to go, assuming it allows for conditional execution. | 15:19 |
| queso | If I add a ppa that has a package I need, but also includes packages that I don't need, and some of those packages that I don't need have the same name as an ubuntu-supported package that I need, how do I get the ubuntu-supported package? aptitude keeps telling me that the package is from an untrusted source, so it's obviously defaulting to the ppa source. | 15:19 |
| julie | BluesKaj, why would anyone allow Google to spy on their Linux installation? :P | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | julie, ?? | 15:20 |

| julie | BluesKaj, you know how Google puts spyware on everything they do? | 15:20 |
| thefisher86 | Hello everyone, long time Ubuntu user, first time caller...haha. So I just installed Ubuntu 11 on my work computer and I'm about to start migrating everything from windows xp over to ubuntu... I've come across a couple problems so far but I figure they're easily fixable. Firstly, at first boot-up Ubuntu didn't recognize my windows partition. I tried to mount it via terminal and I got an error telling me it was already mounted, | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | oCean, google-linux is relavent | 15:20 |
| oCean | BluesKaj: no it is not, this is for ubuntu support issues only, thanks | 15:21 |
| julie | BluesKaj, oCean is right | 15:21 |
| TuxOtaku | hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on a gateway netbook | 15:21 |
| TuxOtaku | but for some reason, it can't see the hard drive | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | oCean, well google-linux used to be part of the support searches | 15:21 |
| sipior | oCean: Typh: it's a tricky problem. i'd be interested in hearing how this works for you. | 15:21 |
| TuxOtaku | gparted only shows the USB stick I put Ubuntu on | 15:21 |
| julie | !ot |blueskaj | 15:22 |
| ubottu | blueskaj: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:22 |
| TuxOtaku | the HDD works, windows is running on it right now | 15:22 |
| Typh | sipior: I'll keep you updated | 15:22 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, you should be able to find your windows partition in /media/<drive name> | 15:22 |
| compdoc | TuxOtaku, in the bios, is there an option for sata or ahci emulation for the drives? | 15:22 |
| TuxOtaku | ooooh! never thought of that | 15:22 |
| TuxOtaku | lemme go check compdoc | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | julie, oCean , I have one response ...bah humbug ! | 15:22 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo I looked there, there was nothing | 15:23 |
| OerHeks | julie, pls get ontopic yourself, BluesKaj is helping out here as long as i know. | 15:23 |
| compdoc | TuxOtaku, most linux distros support either ahci or native sata, so its a long shot | 15:23 |
| TuxOtaku | compdoc, it's set to IDE...should it be ahci? | 15:23 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, is it listed in your bookmars as like 123GB partitoin or anything? | 15:23 |
| compdoc | TuxOtaku, should work that way, but its worth a try. AHCI is better | 15:24 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo no it's not... that's my problem | 15:24 |
| RenaKunisaki | [122397.871035] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: fatal error | 15:24 |
| RenaKunisaki | [122397.872856] ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.4: force halt; handshake ffffc9000018e014 00004000 00004000 -> -110 | 15:24 |
| compdoc | IDE shoule work with anything | 15:24 |
| compdoc | should | 15:24 |
| RenaKunisaki | that does look like some kind of software failure... | 15:24 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, can you run these commands 'sudo fdisk -l` and `mount` and copy paste the results to this website http://fpaste.org | 15:24 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo I can do that | 15:26 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo I'm currently in windows, so let me restart | 15:26 |
| TuxOtaku | compdoc, that did it! thanks | 15:26 |
| compdoc | TuxOtaku, cool | 15:26 |
| Loo | Hi | 15:27 |
| Loo | ? | 15:28 |
| KNUBBIG | Loo, good morning/evening/whatever :) | 15:28 |
| Guest11444 | so, any other ideas as to why suspend/hibernate is broken (i definitely have enough swap space)? | 15:29 |
| Viliny_ | Guest11444 had that same problem for ages now | 15:30 |
| compdoc | Guest11444, is the swapo used to hold the hibernate files? I never thought so | 15:30 |
| compdoc | *swap | 15:30 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, Viliny if i had the hardware i could troubleshoot it, but I dont :( | 15:30 |
| KNUBBIG | compdoc: think so, as for me, hibernate fails due to the small amount of swap I have | 15:31 |
| Guest11444 | I dont have anything sensitive here, i could give you remote access :D | 15:31 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, yeah but Id loose it on suspend lol | 15:31 |
| compdoc | it doesnt make sense the hibernate file would be placed in the swap area | 15:31 |
| Loo | Sorry but I'm French and I don't understand. Do you know a french canal? | 15:31 |
| niko | !fr | Loo | 15:31 |
| ubottu | Loo: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 15:31 |
| Loo | ok thanks | 15:32 |
| kivod | je peux traduire sinon :D | 15:32 |
| Guest11444 | compdoc it makes sense to me: ram copied to swap, then swap copied to ram | 15:32 |
| Guest11444 | but i have no clue | 15:32 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo, what was that paste site again? | 15:32 |
| Guest11444 | fpaste.org | 15:32 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, http://fpaste.org | 15:32 |
| Guest11444 | well, what annoys me is that it was working fine in 10.10 then it's broken in 11.04 | 15:33 |
| Guest11444 | It was very, very useful. | 15:33 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, i would start be figuring out what has changed in the kernel | 15:33 |
| pfifo | by | 15:34 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo it's pasted | 15:34 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, can you paste the resulting link here in the channel for us | 15:34 |
| Plugh | When I boot Ubuntu 10.10 and log in I need to manually start pulseaudio to get sound. Any idea why it won't start automatically? | 15:34 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo, so it mounted it as /host from the looks of things... that's weird | 15:35 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, the URL of the paste, I need it | 15:35 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, that's the thing. I can get suspend and hibernate functionality back by using a rather old kernel (2.6.35) but then the touchpad doesn't work the way it should | 15:35 |
| julie | thefisher86, if you did your installation on Windows, then it's normal that the Windows partition gets mounted in /host | 15:36 |
| skyx | how to MySQL upgrade from 5.0.51a to 5.1 ubuntu 8.04 server edition ? | 15:36 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, how do i check the changes to the kernel though? and what can i do about it? | 15:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest11444: to make the touchpad work, you need to add something in the grub, moment, ill look it up | 15:36 |
| Defusal | can anyone tell me what the simplest to install and configure sock 5 proxy server is? | 15:37 |
| Guest11444 | MonkeyDust, in natty i get perfect two-finger scrolling vertically and horizontally. it's beautiful | 15:37 |
| thefisher86 | pfifo don't worry about it just looking at the output of mount I was able to figure it out | 15:37 |
| Defusal | there must be something that works out of the box with minimal config :( | 15:37 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, first check the version numbers, and read the change logs for anything acpi related, thencheck the new kernel to see what the configuration is like. | 15:37 |
| pfifo | thefisher86, a wubi install I take it | 15:37 |
| thefisher86 | yep | 15:38 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, but that's like...30 changelogs! | 15:38 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, debugging is not easy | 15:39 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, ;_; | 15:39 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, but just think of all the glory! youd be a launchpad hero | 15:39 |
| julie | lol | 15:39 |
| Guest11444 | hahaha | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest11444: in /etc/default/grub find this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and add atkbd.reset | 15:40 |
| eiriksvin | Hello all, I have a question, my Ubuntu 11.04 is having issues at the splash screen... it shows the color of the background (in the splash screen) but don't show the Ubuntu and the loading dots. It started happening after I installed World of Warcraft, any ideas what to do? | 15:40 |
| Guest11444 | MonkeyDust, to get the touchpad working properly under 2.6.35? | 15:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest11444: yes | 15:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest11444: atkbd means AT keyboard | 15:42 |
| Guest11444 | MonkeyDust, well, the touchpad "works", it just fails with multi-touch issues | 15:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Guest11444: it worked for me | 15:43 |
| ravn | hi guys, I have a USB spectrometer that I would like to talk to, but I can't find any information about how the USB interface is working these days, only deprecated texts, anyone can point me to some relevant information about USB and how it works these days? | 15:43 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, maybe we will luck out and my mom's new laptop will suffer from that problem | 15:43 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, get her a dell! | 15:43 |
| Trond-- | are there gonna be ubuntu-classroom today? | 15:43 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, I think your mom would love a dell studio 1747 | 15:44 |
| * BluesKaj wonders where those OT cops disappeared to :) | 15:44 | |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, that core i7 processor is just what she needs | 15:44 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, no this is a acer, older model on clearance | 15:44 |
| eiriksvin | ravn: try seeing if its even being recognised by opening a terminal and typing lsusb | 15:45 |
| netspy | Trond--: maybe in the next room | 15:45 |
| Guest11444 | hahaha nuts | 15:45 |
| Trond-- | netspy, I am in the #ubuntu-classroom | 15:45 |
| pfifo | Guest11444, but your right my mom would love that dell lappy, so long as it has a numberpad | 15:45 |
| eiriksvin | ravn: there may be a firware issue involved | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | ravn, what kind of spectrometer ? | 15:45 |
| eiriksvin | oops firmware | 15:46 |
| Guest11444 | pfifo, it does, and a 17 inch monitor | 15:46 |
| ravn | BluesKaj: Ocean Optics USB 2000 | 15:46 |
| ravn | eiriksvin: there is one line listing it, but there is no name printed there... | 15:47 |
| zlikeyou | hi | 15:47 |
| eiriksvin | ravn: then it is a driver or firmware related issue | 15:47 |
| zlikeyou | is there someone? | 15:47 |
| eiriksvin | ravn: one moment, I'm searching for a driver fix | 15:48 |
| julie | Hi zlikeyou, do you have a question? | 15:48 |

| bad_alloc | basil_kurian_:never ask to ask | 16:03 |
| pfifo | bad_alloc, can you paste bin 'iwconfig' and 'iwlist' | 16:04 |
| Guest11444 | eiriksvin, I think there is a way of doing that, but i can't remember where I saw the instructions (this was for 10.10 btw) | 16:05 |

| sipior | codazoda: probably a zombie. can you paste the relevant output line from ps? | 16:07 |
| pfifo | bad_alloc, to fix the dhcpdiscover error... connect to a network with a dhcp server | 16:07 |

| Sahar | and i hv fedora also that i cant see it in my boot menu after install ubuntu | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | err over the yrs | 16:08 |
| bad_alloc | pfifo: the network definately has a dhcp server, as two other computers use that server. only this notebook fails at it. | 16:08 |
| codazoda | gedit won't die. kill -9 fails to work. Output (http://pastebin.com/S7NMt8FG). | 16:08 |
| julie | Sahar, you have to keep in mind that the extended partition is just a mapping partition and it is allocated in the partitions that follow it | 16:08 |
| pfifo | bad_alloc, sounds like your unable to connect to that network | 16:08 |
| Sahar | i dont need it . it wan in use of 7 | 16:09 |
| Sahar | now i want format it | 16:09 |
| codazoda | I believe this is causing "suspend" problems randomly. Since the process refuses to die. Reboot the only option? Seems... wrong. | 16:09 |
| julie | Sahar, partitions sda5-8 are mapped on the extended partition and are all of Linux types | 16:09 |
| Sahar | yes | 16:10 |
| sipior | codazoda: the process is waiting on i/o, and can't be interrupted in its current state. | 16:10 |
| eiriksvin | ravn: I can't find anything worth saying | 16:10 |
| th0r | codazoda: I assume you tried to kill it as joel first | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | codazoda, open system onitor , find gedit and signal, terminate | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | monitor | 16:10 |
| julie | Sahar, so there doesn't seem to be any remaining Windows partitions | 16:10 |
| * BluesKaj checks KB batteries | 16:10 | |
| bad_alloc | pfifo: yes. but why? do I have to deal with it™ or could you give me some pointers to further resources? | 16:10 |
| codazoda | sipior: The io will never occur then. I want to force it to die anyway. No way? | 16:11 |
| codazoda | sipior: I suspect the io might be from a fuse mount, which has gone away. | 16:11 |
| pfifo | bad_alloc, use iwconfig and iwscan to try and connect manually | 16:11 |
| polm | Why would aptitude tell me that a package has unmet dependencies that will not be installed and not install it? | 16:11 |

| codazoda | sipior: Found a fuse mount that says "resource busy" got to be it. Trying to unmount anyway (since the network went away). | 16:16 |
| julie | Sahar, I would suggest you boot in fedora from a restore / install disk and redo its boot configuration to be on the partition itself instead of the mbr, then restart in ubuntu and configure grub to just boot off that partition as a new menu entry... there are other ways to do it but this is the simplest I can think of | 16:16 |

| sipior | codazoda: problem with fuse, i'm afraid. | 16:22 |
| AdvoWork | siavoshkc, also, if i move my mouse or a document out of this monitor, it appears to go somewhere(but you cant see it) Also, since doing that ive now got 4 blocks(desktop bits) bottom right, but only 2 have stuff in | 16:22 |
| julie | pfifo, sorry I don't see why os-loader wouldn't detect your Linux install and it is poorly documented | 16:22 |
| szal | thisismygame: what's weird about that? | 16:22 |
| julie | pfifo, sorry not os-loader, os-prober | 16:22 |
| codazoda | sipior: No doubt. There's probably a solution somewhere thought. Like unmount all fuse mounts on suspend and/or power down. Maybe that would fix it, at least in the future. | 16:23 |
| codazoda | *though | 16:23 |
| codazoda | sipior: Thanks for the info. Knowing to look for io is helpful for future troubleshooting. I'll figure out how to unmount on suspend / shutdown. | 16:24 |

| pfifo | julie, the knowledge can be used either way, its on him if hes doing something illegal | 16:34 |
| galerien | netspy, go to backtrack chan, and they will tell you "!neighbors" ^^ | 16:34 |
| netspy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/623506/ | 16:35 |
| julie | pfifo, I disagree.... you can't go around giving tutorial on committing theft and releasing responsibility that it's up to them | 16:35 |
| galerien | pfifo, but it's on us if he hack someone, we've been providing the information | 16:35 |
| netspy | julie: doing this for my own security not theft. /me responsible person | 16:36 |

| Guest11444 | the name "netspy" does sound suspicious... | 16:37 |

| balleyne | anyone know how to restore Ubuntu Classic compiz settings in 11.04? | 16:38 |
| thisismygame | szal: mostly that it was a strange suggestion, and that it was seemingly unrelated. the solution, as pfifo said, was to put "nomodeset" in the grub command | 16:38 |

| rms_is_god | Is it possible to remove the hovering scollbar and still use Unity? The usability of the scrollbar is dreadful... | 16:41 |
| coz_ | rms_is_god, mm I dont believe so,, although the overlay scrollbar works well here | 16:41 |
| coz_ | rms_is_god, let me check | 16:41 |
| perlsyntax | yes i look at that link before. | 16:42 |
| coz_ | rms_is_god, http://ubuntu4beginners.blogspot.com/2011/04/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu.html also try in google ubuntu 11.04 disable overlay scrollbar for other posts | 16:42 |
| rms_is_god | coz_: Works well? You have to hover carefully over the thin scollbar, and then move the mouse yet again to find the buttons. It takes much longer than before to scroll | 16:42 |
| szal | thisismygame: if that really was the solution then all is well :) .. thing is that, in my experience, analog video card-monitor connections exhibit problems you don't have w/ digital connections | 16:42 |
| rms_is_god | coz_: thanks | 16:42 |

| galerien | rms_is_god, synapse, faster, and this new search thing is here and it's bugging me, even if I don't use it, it's here..... | 16:45 |
| galerien | rms_is_god, what I'd like to know is weather I'm going to have to update nvidia, x or anything else that is kind of dangerous.... | 16:46 |
| balleyne | perlsyntax: wireless router, or your wireless card? (I've not really used wicd much mysql, but have played around with wireless) | 16:46 |
| szal | thisismygame: didn't find a pattern yet.. but w/ my 2nd machine, which I connected to my monitor via VGA, I've had 1280x1024 not showing, or tty not showing.. interestingly not w/ *buntu, w/ that (and Windblows) everything works, but w/ other distros I've had one or the other problem | 16:47 |

| Tetracomm | Hello. | 16:59 |
| coz_ | ImDexter, there are several PDFedit comes to mind http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-pdf-editing-tools-for-ubuntu.html | 16:59 |
| Tetracomm | What does this mean?: nicholas@ubuntu:~$ fsck | 16:59 |
| Tetracomm | fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 | 16:59 |
| Tetracomm | e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) | 16:59 |

| Tetracomm | Truncating orphaned inode 1196777 (uid=1000, gid=1000, mode=0100644, size=0) | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Tetracomm: why are you running fsck ? | 16:59 |
| === eiriksvin_ is now known as eiriksvin | ||
| coz_ | ImDexter, Inkscape also deals with pdf files and can edit them as well | 17:00 |
| Tetracomm | Because of something weird that happened, but do you know what that means? | 17:00 |
| l0n3w0lf | ImDexter: Open Office 3 has some functionality, otherwise check out flpsed and PDFEdit | 17:00 |
| ikonia | Tetracomm: ok - but why are you running it, what made you decide to run fsck | 17:01 |
| ImDexter | open poffice is no longer in use in 11.04 | 17:01 |
| ImDexter | coz, any recommendation? | 17:01 |
| eiriksvin | how do I make my spash screen show at 1280x1024 resolution? | 17:01 |
| l0n3w0lf | ImDexter: true, but you can still install it... you'll need the PDF extension... otherwise try out one of the other two? | 17:02 |
| Tetracomm | ikonia: A folder wouldn't show after I renamed it, and then I found it using file search, renamed it, and is showed again, then someone said to do a filesystem check. Is the message I sent you anything to worry about? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | Tetracomm: nothing to worry about at all, however an fsck shouldn't change the problem you've described | 17:02 |
| galerien | Anyone using ubuntu + gnome 3 ? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | galerien: there is no official gnome3+ubuntu+gnome-shell setup | 17:03 |
| mark__ | I was messing around with compiz and it freaked out and reset a lot of the windowing settings to bare (no titlebar etc) I just noticed that all of my windows are missing the "file edit etc" bar. how do i get that back | 17:03 |

| ikonia | cordiceps: so am I | 17:06 |
| julie | cordiceps, ikonia is right, please give us the error you're getting | 17:06 |

| pfifo | szal, ubuntu cant ship with certan drivers because the not licensed with a free licenst, lame and flac are good examples | 17:08 |
| szal | pfifo: and? what's the issue there if I already installed both? | 17:09 |
| pfifo | szal, s/drivers/codecs/ | 17:09 |
| pfifo | szal, youll have to compile flac support into lame, ubuntu cant ship it like that | 17:10 |
| Tetracomm | ikonia: Ok. Does that mean that something was wrong before I ran fsck? | 17:10 |
| ikonia | Tetracomm: not really no, | 17:10 |
| Tetracomm | ikonia: Ok. What is an orphaned inode? | 17:10 |
| julie | Tetracomm, the fixes made couldn't affect your directory listings but these errors are still a bit abnormal | 17:11 |
| ikonia | Tetracomm: think of it as a pointer to a file that the file no longer exists | 17:11 |
| szal | pfifo: sounds to me like a lame excuse (pun intended).. if *buntu can ship both lame and flac separately, it can also ship transcoding capability between those two | 17:11 |
| cordiceps | ikonia: ok, which options do you pass qemu? I don't wanna spend all day trialing and erroring. | 17:11 |
| cordiceps | cd | 17:11 |

| Yami_Bas | a question how do i uninstall pulseaudio correctly and do i install alsamixer? | 17:13 |
| cordiceps | Tetracomm: what's wrong with you? I know how to run a VM, the only problem was ubiquity/gnome3 NOT being able to show up. | 17:13 |
| julie | Tetracomm, that doesn't really matter, but do you always shut it down properly or did it perhaps crash recently? | 17:13 |

| Yami_Bas | just the normal command remove? | 17:15 |

| Yami_Bas | well i pruged pulseaudio since it's not liking my soundcard... | 17:22 |

| Thalius | aah, and you had the vm tools sync the time with the hypervisor. Had the same mistake once. | 17:23 |
| klown | Possibly..it depends on why your card didnt like pulse. | 17:23 |
| Polah | r1chm, audio output with graphics? That makes no sense. | 17:23 |
| r1chm | i tried a few suggestions from online but non seemed to work :( | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | its creative | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | pulse doesnt like creative cards XD | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | so i've read | 17:23 |
| inckie | Thalius: time is correct now hehe, yeah. i configured some NTP servers in esxi now, should'nt have that problem in the future, thx for your time. | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | and it didnt support the spdif out on mine... | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | so yeah... | 17:23 |
| r1chm | Polah, its a HDMI output. HDMI carries both audio and video? | 17:23 |
| Yami_Bas | i got digital stereo though but it choked on SPDIF | 17:24 |

| Polah | r1chm: Well, if it's a motherboard onboard output it might do, but if it's an output from a GPU it shouldn't have audio. Unless the card is some sort of audio/visual processor since it's for compact laptops (right?) | 17:26 |
| jevidl | r1chm: Do you have a digital audio source hooked up to your video card? I ran into that problem on my machine, but I can't remember if audio pass through is working in linux. Also, another quirk on my system is that I need to change between the sound card output and the built in audio output if I want to send audio over HDMI. This is because of the way I have things hooked up. | 17:27 |

| r1chm | the set up is a Shuttle XS35GT with the onboard Nvidia ION GFX, plugged into a HD monitor/TV with HDMI cable. | 17:28 |

| MonkeyDust | einseenai: click right on the address | 17:28 |
| jevidl | r1chm: ok. :) I'd check your manual and see if there's a jumper that needs to be set, or a wire hooked up. I know on my desktop I had to connect my SPDIF/OUT to the video card so that it had a signal to pass through in the first place. After that was done, I just have to be sure to select the output that is connected to the video card when i want to pass audio through. | 17:29 |

| hittt_ | is this the way myqsld starts as user 'mysql' at startup? | 17:31 |
| r1chm | jevidl, kind of, but i dont understand why the video would work and the audio not when its a HDMI cable carrying both signals... plus the Nvidia ION hdmi output is built in so there is nothing else to plug in.... the only other sound output is a 3.5mm jack plug for normal speakers | 17:32 |
| === ksullivan is now known as Aconek | ||
| Polah | r1chm: Are you audio settings configured to use that device and output for output? | 17:33 |
| jevidl | r1chm: you might need to enable the correct audio output when you want to send it over HDMI vs. connected speakers | 17:33 |
| r1chm | oh yes i tried this before hang on let me check (this is the nth install) after switching versions of Ubuntu / FEdora to try and get it working ;-) | 17:34 |

| ubottu | GOP-USA_dotcom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 17:34 |
| Yami_Bas | no :( | 17:35 |
| Yami_Bas | klown: will do just a sec :) | 17:35 |
| r1chm | polah & jevidl - this is interesting last time I had an option to select HDMI audio output (i did select it and it still didnt work) however this time it is not an option? | 17:35 |
| Polah | r1chm: What are you using to configure it? | 17:35 |
| r1chm | i right clicked on sound preferences Polah | 17:36 |
| r1chm | on the hardware tab and output tab | 17:36 |
| Agent008 | q | 17:36 |
| Agent008 | q | 17:36 |
| Polah | r1chm: The default pulse settings? Try installing pavucontrol, it might give you some better options. There's also an advanced ALSA configuration tool you could use instead but I can't recall the name. | 17:36 |
| Yami_Bas | klown: one problem though | 17:37 |
| Yami_Bas | alsa doesnt recognise my soundcard... | 17:37 |
| Yami_Bas | :( | 17:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | Agent008, And your support question is..? | 17:37 |
| r1chm | ok ill get pavucontrol now and see what it does | 17:37 |
| klown | Yami_Bas, Does ubuntu recognize it? | 17:37 |
| Yami_Bas | pulseaudio did | 17:37 |
| Yami_Bas | but it didnt enable me to passthrough spdif | 17:38 |
| Agent008 | I ganna take a shower... see you guys | 17:38 |
| Yami_Bas | so i guess ubuntu does too... | 17:38 |
| jevidl | r1chm: If you don't have to configure it, another possibility is that the driver did not load correctly, or the correct driver didn't load. If the enhanced configuration tools don't work, you might want to make sure it's identified correctly and loading the correct modules. | 17:38 |
| r1chm | polah, pavucontrol is pulseaudio volume control? | 17:39 |
| jevidl | r1chm: you do get normal audio from the 3.5mm speaker jack, correct? | 17:39 |
| Polah | r1chm: Yes. | 17:39 |
| r1chm | jevidl, unfortunatly i am completly new to ubuntu so i dont know how to do that? :-( | 17:39 |
| r1chm | jevidl, 3.5 jack was working last install - havent tried it this install.... | 17:40 |
| jevidl | r1chm: the basic procedure is to identify what module your sound card uses, and then execute "lsmod | grep <module_name>" and see if it's loaded | 17:40 |

| TianChang | hello people | 17:45 |
| TianChang | Could I ask some qs here? | 17:45 |
| TianChang | about Natty, coz I just upgraded it | 17:45 |
| jpds | TianChang: You just did, proceed. | 17:45 |
| jevidl | I am working on a project to setup centrally managed public SSH keys. I had hoped to declare multiple files in the AuthorizedKeysFile statement, but this does not appear possible on most linux implementations, and may only be available on OpenBSD. Does anyone know how to use multiple AuthorizedKeysFile's in Ubuntu? | 17:45 |
| Yami_Bas | now lets hope it works :D | 17:45 |
| r1chm | Polah, pulse audio isnt listing my HDMI output... which suggests the driver isnt installed? | 17:45 |
| sunredsky | polah: what do most of you guys do to get a machine on your desktop? I have only bought Windows pcs up till now, but I want to try linux. Should I get a used pc? How much should I spend if i just want basic features (mostly command line for development stuff)? | 17:46 |
| TianChang | THank you. I manged to figure out the main problems after upgrading to Natty. But sometimes, my browser or the compiz window just won't respond to my mouse clicks | 17:46 |
| ikonia | jevidl: just put multiple entries in the sshd_config | 17:46 |
| jevidl | r1chm: or that the correct driver does not offer SPDIF support :) | 17:46 |
| cordiceps | lovely | 17:46 |
| Polah | r1chm: It's not detecting the output certainly, if it exists. It could be a driver issue, yes. | 17:46 |
| TianChang | I can see the name of the tab or window changing, but it isn't reacting on my screen as it should be. | 17:46 |
| jevidl | ikonia: I will try that again. I though I tried that, and it only checked the first entry in the config | 17:46 |
| new2net | Whats the difference between the desktop and server iso found here http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/11.04/ is it just a few less apt-get? | 17:46 |
| hittt_ | hm, 2nd question, i have Gnome running as the desktop manager, but KDE as the login manager, how can i tell ubuntu to use gdm for the login manager aswell? | 17:46 |
| jevidl | ikonia: give me a few, I'll check that route again | 17:46 |
| r1chm | Polah, i have found another driver in the "hardware drivers" dialog ill try that... | 17:46 |
| Polah | sunredsky: You can just download the iso and burn it to a disk or install it on a USB drive to try Linux. You can make a new partition on your hard drive and install, there's no need for a whole new system | 17:47 |
| TianChang | so yup. I don't even know what keyword to use for this problem... | 17:47 |
| spartan07 | hey guys does 11.04 have the scheduler patch for the desktop boost enabled? I know it has the right kernal 2.6.38. | 17:47 |
| r1chm | Polah, ive lied. it says its already activated :-( | 17:47 |
| jrib | new2net: yes and server kernel instead of generic | 17:47 |
| llutz | hittt_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 17:47 |
| hittt_ | gotta reboot | 17:48 |
| Polah | r1chm, I can't really help you with driver issues. Sorry. | 17:48 |
| sunredsky | Polah: ok thanks. I should use ubuntu for that? | 17:48 |
| ramu492 | hi | 17:48 |
| new2net | jrib: I see. Any way to just switch my kernel or will that be messy? | 17:48 |
| ramu492 | can anyonr say what is .config file? | 17:48 |
| ramu492 | and where can is see it? | 17:48 |
| ramu492 | can anyone say what is .config file? | 17:49 |
| jrib | new2net: just install linux-image-server (and you'll likely want to remove linux-image-generic) | 17:49 |
| Polah | sunredsky: You can try any Linux distribution you want. Ubuntu would be the easiest for you to use I imagine. You can get the .iso from the Ubuntu website. | 17:49 |
| ramu492 | can anyone say what is .config file? where is it located?? | 17:49 |
| jrib | ramu492: do you mean the ~/.config directory? | 17:49 |
| sunredsky | Polah: Thanks a lot :) | 17:49 |
| ramu492 | yes | 17:49 |
| r1chm | Polah, im going to get the latest driver from the Nvidia website... how do i tell whether i am using 32 bit or 64 bit linux i cant remember which i downloaded..... | 17:50 |

| Polah | ramu492, actually telling us what the config file is for would help. There's thousands of files that could be named as such on your system. | 17:52 |
| klown | ramu492, you are going to have to be a little bit more specific. Who/what is telling you to edit the .config file..why do you need to edit it..and lastly, .config file for what? | 17:52 |

| r1chm | robin0800, i went into alsamixer and it was on "HDA Intel" which ive learned is the analog audio. i pressed F6 and switched to "Nvidia" which is the HDMI however when it changed it said there were no controls for it.... | 17:58 |

| raeven | Anybody out there have cpufrequtils working? | 17:58 |
| Polah | r1chm: Have you checked if there's an audio control panel that was installed alongside the drivers? | 17:59 |
| Polah | !repeat | raeven | 17:59 |
| ubottu | raeven: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 17:59 |
| robin0800 | r1chm, think you might need a driver at least we now know why pulse audio had no controls | 18:00 |
| raeven | Eh... the repeat was accidental - my cat decided to walk across my keyboard | 18:00 |
| r1chm | Polah, i cant see that one has been installed. | 18:00 |

| klown | Yami_Bas, which card? | 18:21 |
| Yami_Bas | Creative X-Fi surround sound 5.1 USB | 18:21 |

| Thalius | sear|work: you mean you want to have dhcpd doing that? | 18:22 |

| robin0800 | r1chm, You might need it then | 18:23 |
| Thalius | sear|work, yes thats possible. Just edit the pool to give out a ip's to certain macs. I can copy paste the config to you if you want | 18:23 |
| BluesKaj | Yami_Bas, open a terminal , alsamixer -V all , then check your audio again | 18:23 |
| sear|work | I would like to have dhcpd match the address that the real dhcp server is handing out (it is doing the same thing, handing out an address based on MAC) | 18:23 |
| sear|work | That would be awesome Thalius! | 18:23 |
| r1chm | robin0800, i am not sure how to load it though... do you know how? | 18:23 |
| Yami_Bas | BluesKaj: i restored pulseaudio again... | 18:23 |

| Polah | r1chn: .deb is the software package format for debian and ubuntu | 18:24 |
| escott | tilleyrw, graphics or just text | 18:24 |
| robin0800 | r1chm, does the file end in .deb | 18:24 |
| BluesKaj | Yami_Bas, then install pavucontrol | 18:24 |
| r1chm | oh its not a file.... i am reading a forum... | 18:25 |
| r1chm | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1617334&page=2 | 18:25 |
| Yami_Bas | BluesKaj: do i still need to do alsamixer -V all then? | 18:25 |
| Yami_Bas | installed pavucontrol lets see | 18:25 |
| BluesKaj | yes that helps turn everything up on the vol ctrls, Yami_Bas | 18:25 |
| Yami_Bas | alright | 18:26 |
| Polah | Yami_Bas: Might want to make sure your speakers/headset aren't on full before testing as well. | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | pavucontrol works for some but not all | 18:26 |
| phox_ | Unity is bugging! If I move the mouse to the top left corner as usual, it comes forward for like a split second and then it disappears. It does this sometimes. How do I fix it? | 18:27 |
| Yami_Bas | polah i know but i wont blow them :P | 18:27 |
| Yami_Bas | got some sturdy stuff here :) | 18:27 |

| domnukalu | Hi. I've installed ubuntu server 11.04 and webmin. I am trying to set up a web server. Question: do I need anything else for security of the server? Or default install is secure enough? | 18:30 |
| r1chm | robin0800, thanks ill try that now | 18:30 |
| phox_ | klown: You can do it in mail programs like evolution, but I dont like evolution | 18:30 |
| jrib | !webmin | domnukalu | 18:30 |
| ubottu | domnukalu: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 18:30 |
| Yami_Bas | i cant sent 5.1 digital over optical i know but how do i enable spdif? | 18:30 |

| Yami_Bas | can anyone takes this over pm with me? | 18:31 |
| Yami_Bas | because converations gets mingled up ;c | 18:31 |
| theadmin | Mirificus: For Linux, there is none | 18:31 |
| BluesKaj | Yami_Bas, setup your spfif output in alsamixer , and in my experience the best player for passing 5.1 DD and DTS is VLC , you need to set that upi vlc tools>audio | 18:32 |
| jrib | domnukalu: ubottu used to mention ebox, not sure why he no longer does | 18:32 |
| theadmin | Mirificus: Mainly because of Linux filesystems | 18:32 |
| jrib | !ebox | 18:32 |
| ubottu | zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). | 18:32 |

| tommis | tortib, yeah, bretty much | 18:34 |
| tortib | am i able to use the main repo for Ubuntu to install the ATI drivers (system is installing as we speak just wanted to make sure) | 18:34 |
| klown | Yami_Bas, if BluesKaj is suggesting that vlc normally has a better chance of working, you should try it, then troubleshoot your media player issues later, after you get sound working..imo of course. | 18:34 |
| tommis | you can have some problems with 6990 though | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | Yami_Bas, sudo gstreamer-properties' (A GUI will open) (After configuring a reboot may be in order) | 18:34 |
| tommis | as it don't have linux support | 18:34 |
| tortib | tommis: well i just didn't know if i had to add another repo for the fglrx module | 18:34 |

| Yami_Bas | alright :) | 18:37 |
| Yami_Bas | BluesKaj: does it need to ask for a reboot or just reboot? | 18:37 |
| drawmeat | theadmin, it says that a subfolder called log is using 98% of my diskspace. 30.7gb. | 18:37 |
| BluesKaj | Yami_Bas, well if it doesn't work after the command , reboot | 18:37 |

| Yami_Bas | i was testeping the pipeline (idk why :S) and now the GUI jammed... BluesKaj | 18:39 |
| theadmin | drawmeat: If it happens fast again, come back and we'll drill down more | 18:39 |

| kbrosnan | phox_: for mozilla binaries you can just extract to the home folder and run sunbird | 18:40 |
| theadmin | phox_: No need. Run this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install sunbird | 18:40 |
| escott | eiriksvin, there are also gui tools if you want to use them | 18:40 |
| r1chm | ok will try it | 18:41 |

| phox_ | theadmin: It wasnt supported anymore. | 18:42 |
| phox_ | kbrosnan: what if it isnt? | 18:42 |
| theadmin | phox_: Okay, I see | 18:42 |
| kbrosnan | phox_: what? | 18:42 |
| theadmin | phox_: Most tarballs are source-code, so you have to compile them | 18:42 |

| phox_ | kbrosnan: oh, ok | 18:44 |
| theadmin | phox_: There's a songbird folder there, right? Run ~/sunbird/sunbird | 18:44 |

| Yami_Bas | alright :) | 18:44 |

| phox_ | kbrosnan: thanx, that worked. Why is the ./ necesary? | 18:44 |

| mr_bibble | Still getting 'remote sound problem' error whenever i try to run skype *sigh* | 19:40 |
| dataphreak | =p It's still ubuntu 10.04, it's jsut the software is different. | 19:40 |
| BluesKaj | mr_bibble, perhaps you might consider the static version ..it's on the skype site | 19:41 |
| Lenin_Cat | Why wont my computer let me kill a process | 19:41 |
| MonkeyDust | !details| Lenin_Cat | 19:41 |

| Snicers-Work2 | When I create a directory as a user in ubuntu it does not inherit the permissions of the parent directory, how do I fix this? | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | dataphreak, go ask in backtrack. this ubuntu | 19:42 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: how exactly are you trying | 19:42 |
| dataphreak | I already have. they couldn't figure it out either. | 19:42 |
| mr_bibble | BluesKaj: I just installed it and i'm getting the same error. Would firewall rules have any effect on it? | 19:42 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: i assume you own the process you're trying to kill | 19:42 |
| smw | Snicers-Work2, that can not be "fixed" | 19:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Snicers-Work2, that's working as designed | 19:42 |
| Lenin_Cat | tensorpudding, Yes, I am doing the command "killall skype" | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | mr_bibble, are you using iptables rules or settings ? | 19:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Lenin_Cat: try pkill skype | 19:43 |
| Snicers-Work2 | How do I control what permissions it has? | 19:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lenin_Cat, are you sure "skype" is the processes name? "ps aux | grep skype" to confirm. | 19:43 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: what error did you get | 19:43 |
| Lenin_Cat | MonkeyDust, not working | 19:43 |
| mr_bibble | BluesKaj: I use ufw to settup the firewall | 19:43 |
| Lenin_Cat | zykes-, yes | 19:43 |
| escott | Snicers-Work2, setguid on the directory? | 19:43 |
| drPoO | hi, has anybody installed flash 10 on 11.04?? | 19:43 |
| Lenin_Cat | tensorpudding, it just runs and returns to a command prompt | 19:43 |

| thedeaths | bah: why are there no drivers for terratec h5 (usb tv tuner) :p | 19:44 |
| thedeaths | only reason i even bothered to try linux is to get tvheadend to work :p | 19:44 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: killall sends SIGTERM, which doesn't always mean that the process quits immediately | 19:44 |
| PMello | anyone uses the SNX checkpoint vpn client ? | 19:44 |
| Snicers-Work2 | setuid or setguid"? | 19:44 |
| Lenin_Cat | tensorpudding, so it keeps running for over 5 min? | 19:44 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: if skype were blocking on I/O or something it'd not quit | 19:44 |
| Lenin_Cat | tensorpudding, how do I send SIGKILL? | 19:44 |
| tensorpudding | Lenin_Cat: what is the state of the running skype process? | 19:44 |

| Lenin_Cat | tensorpudding, thanks for the help anyway. | 19:46 |
| Andi | Hello, i have a problem with Skype and i hope someone can help me out please. When i open Skype it logs in but right after the Programm closes again. | 19:46 |
| escott | jbwiv, you could disable apparmor service temporarily | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | mr_bibble, I doubt ufw would affect your internal sound on skype , but I'm no skype freak so I can't be sure | 19:46 |
| jbwiv | escott, ok, I'll try that. thanks. i'm really curious what's causing it tho | 19:46 |
| escott | jbwiv, apparmor is a security system like selinux, evidently there are some rules that haven't been tested with a reinstall like this | 19:47 |

| Yami_Bas | or wait nvm im using alsa... | 20:01 |
| Yami_Bas | was trying to enter pulse... | 20:01 |
| Yami_Bas | BluesKaj: do you recall the command where i need to select a mixer and im able to select the audio output device and test the pipeline? | 20:02 |
| Karko | cooling fan from my notebook (Toshiba L300) after several minutes goes on higher level of speed without purpose | 20:02 |

| rcmaehl | Do I need: iptables-persistant, nfs-kernel-server, kerneloops, pppd-dns, dns-clean, or acpi-support in my boot? | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | in the terminal alsamixer . Yami_Bas , then make sure your spdif ctrl is turned up , if you have any prefernces in xbmc then you might need to check the digital settings there too | 20:04 |
| mr_bibble | brown_fern: I would also like to note that I cant even change the sound devices in skype. Only pulseaudio server is available | 20:05 |
| Yami_Bas | BluesKaj: i know but that is not the command that helped me | 20:06 |
| Yami_Bas | the command you gave me was also pretty short but made me choose between ALSA PULSE CCS(or something like that), made me choose between the output device | 20:07 |
| Yami_Bas | and made it possible to test he pipelin | 20:07 |
| brown_fern | mr_bibble: I wish that I could help but I don't use skype often enough to work with you on your problem. | 20:07 |
| Yami_Bas | i select ALSA and USB #1 there | 20:07 |
| Yami_Bas | and that made it work | 20:07 |
| BluesKaj | /me grumbls about skype and pulseaudio ... I don't use pulseaudio with the static version, and the audio works fine | 20:08 |
| mr_bibble | brown_fern: thats ok | 20:08 |

| rawfodog | Im in ubuntu 11. I have ubuntu server in a virtual machine. I was wondering how I can set a folder to share via bash/cmd line ? | 20:09 |
| BluesKaj | ok Yami_Bas | 20:09 |
| rawfodog | (so it shows up in my ubuntu host) | 20:09 |
| escott | rawfodog, the guest-addition sharing goes the other direction from host to guest. you would have to use something like ftp to share a folder from guest to host | 20:11 |
| szal | rawfodog: depends on what you use for virtualizing | 20:12 |
| rawfodog | k | 20:12 |
| rawfodog | vbox. Thing is, my wifi wont pass thru to the guest. I think it's because I made the IP static and changed some stuff in network/interfaces | 20:12 |
| rawfodog | So with no internet on my guest I cant apt-get an ftp program | 20:13 |
| rawfodog | lol | 20:13 |
| oCean | rawfodog: use bridging | 20:14 |
| rawfodog | wont that knock my host off the network ? | 20:14 |
| oCean | knock off? | 20:14 |
| rawfodog | one sec | 20:14 |
| rly | Is there some kind of CPU applet for Unity? | 20:14 |
| oCean | rawfodog: in network settings for that vm, choose 'attached to' bridged adapter (wlan0 for example) | 20:15 |
| rawfodog | k | 20:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | rawfodog, oCean you might need to verify that your /etc/resolv.conf has appropriate information as well, if you are using static IP. | 20:16 |
| oCean | true | 20:17 |
| rawfodog | yeah it wont go. The only hope I have is to mount the install ISO and figure out how to apt-get from that source | 20:21 |

| edbian | ? | 20:41 |
| eiriksvin | edbian: yeah, i mean, why not, it would be cool to see | 20:41 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: 1.) raid 0 is a bad idea for a root file system 2.) fake raid is a worse idea as it has terrible linux support (why grub can't see it) c.) the mix of the two is very bad | 20:41 |
| SaraNova | ikonia: that's comforting, thanks :) Are you saying I should just give up? | 20:43 |
| eiriksvin | wow, buzzkilled at the first levity | 20:43 |
| julie | SaraNova, I am tempted to disagree with ikonia as I've used software-based raid for years on different systems and got really good and reliable results | 20:43 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: I'm saying it's worth considering more supported options and more usable technologies | 20:43 |
| SaraNova | i mean when I boot on the livecd, I see all the links (block devices)... not sure when I boot after the install nothing is there anymore (talking about by-uuid directory) | 20:44 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: grub has no kernel to boot, so is not aware of the raid 0 file system | 20:44 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: you need to have /boot on a seperate non-raid 0 partition for example for grub to be able to see it | 20:45 |
| julie | true | 20:45 |
| SaraNova | :( | 20:45 |
| SaraNova | that's a pretty bad news | 20:45 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: however I strongly advise you to look at a.) stable technologies b.) supported technologies | 20:45 |
| julie | Linux software raid is actually very stable and well documented but it is indeed unsupported by the ubuntu people | 20:46 |
| ikonia | julie: linux software raid is fully supported by the ubuntu community | 20:46 |
| morecheese | when adding the current user to another group while in a screen session, is it necessary to restart the screen session? any shells created while in screen session the user isn't part of the new group, but ssh sessions (not attached to screen session) do show as in the new group. | 20:46 |
| SaraNova | sorry, I said Raid 0... I'm using Raid 1 my apologies | 20:46 |
| ikonia | and is exceptionally stable and not a problem to use | 20:46 |
| julie | guess I misunderstood your warning then | 20:46 |
| ikonia | julie: fake raid is not supported and unstable, linux software raid is supported | 20:47 |
| ikonia | SaraNova: ok, so you've removed half the problem then, no /boot is needed, however fakeraid is your problem | 20:47 |
| edbian | morecheese: you have to restart the X session so I expect screen is the same way | 20:47 |
| julie | ikonia, what is fake raid if it<s not software raid? | 20:47 |
| ikonia | julie: it's the motherboard on raid devices that require a software layer | 20:47 |
| morecheese | edbian: figured the same, thx | 20:47 |

| ikonia | SaraNova: have you considering software raid ? | 20:50 |

| edbian_ | phoenixkc: Sure. First thing I do is look up that card on linux wireless . com It says (that link) you need 2.6.39 | 21:02 |
| osse | julie, Ctrl+Arrows work in all four directions, so does Ctrl+Alt+Arrows but Caps+Alt+Arrows work only in three of them when Caps is an additional Ctrl. Strange! | 21:02 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: ok great. kernel is good enough :) | 21:02 |
| folke | How can I change my wifi that is deafult internet connection to my 3G GSM Modem? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | folke: disable wireless | 21:02 |
| fwaokda | anyone using unity in virtualbox??? My theme keeps downgrading whenever i go from fullscreen to window need help fixing it | 21:02 |
| julie | osse, it is kind of strange though | 21:03 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer (see if that installs, if it does, we need that firmware) | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | fwaokda: ask in #vbox too | 21:03 |
| mbeierl | urg. also aptitude install tab-to-complete doesn't work - it used to. Why did all that ttc stuff get turned off and how do I turn it all back on? | 21:03 |
| fwaokda | ActionParsnip, tried that no one so far knows | 21:03 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: done | 21:04 |
| nimbiotics | There is this package (eduke32) I want to install to a pc NOT connected to the internet. I've got the repositories, my question is How do I just download the files so I can later copy them to the target PC and install? TIA! | 21:05 |
| julie | mbeierl, although it is not recommended by the "community", try "sudo su -" | 21:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | Is there a good speech (through mic) to text application for ubuntu? I'm currently using 10.04. | 21:05 |
| osse | julie, hehe, if I just press all three keys at once it works! :D But if I keep Caps and Alt pressed down it doesn't work. | 21:05 |
| [an]droidman | i have a question, whats the command to reset the ubuntu classic launcher? my top bar disappeared. i can access the terminal from unity though and unity works perfectly | 21:05 |
| mbeierl | julie: no, it's not su that I want, I'd like tab to complete for all the things that it used to work for turned back on | 21:06 |
| folke | Yes ofcourse but the problem is that I have a wireless printer connected to my router. If i disabel the wireless I will not be able to print anything from internet because I have to disabel the wireless to connect to the 3G GSM modem | 21:06 |
| folke | Moment 22 | 21:06 |

| lolmatic | what up | 21:06 |
| folke | My comp prefers the wifi | 21:06 |
| folke | as deafult | 21:06 |
| julie | mbeierl, so you mean that in a terminal window, if you type fscTAB, it doesn't work? | 21:07 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: done. next step? | 21:07 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: sudo modprobe b43 (should turn the device on now that the firmware is there) | 21:07 |
| folke | ActionParsnip: Yes ofcourse but the problem is that I have a wireless printer connected to my router. If i disabel the wireless I will not be able to print anything from internet because I have to disabel the wireless to connect to the 3G GSM modem | 21:08 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: the firmware is there and using 3 other modules. but no modules are using it. | 21:09 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: sudo iwlist scan shows networks? | 21:09 |

| ActionParsnip | folke: set the default gateway as via the 3G when you are out and about, or simply switch to the wireless when you are in your network | 21:11 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: restart and if it isn't working give me a pastebin of dmesg ? :) Have you ever done this before? | 21:11 |

| phoenixkc | edbian_: already at the newest version. should be 5.100.something | 21:41 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: ok great. sudo modprobe -r b43 (this removes the b43 driver from the kernel. It's like uninstalling a driver in windows) | 21:41 |

| edbian_ | phoenixkc: now we can confirm which driver is being used by looking at the output of sudo lspci -k (we should see STA is in use and not b43) | 21:43 |

| xen | tell me one more thing | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: that's a real mess. | 21:48 |

| silvering | hi guys, im trying to install vumeter for xmms, but after ./configure it says GTK+ >= 1.2.10 not installed | 21:48 |
| xen | provided a given SSID - hw do i connect to it from commandline? | 21:48 |
| silvering | but i have it installed! | 21:48 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: So that's 2 drivers now that are 'working' but cannot find any wireless networks. I'm not sure what to do at this point. | 21:48 |
| kelvinella | i have about 20 tabs open in ff, and i have computer and ff on for like 2 weeks, is it the cause? | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: run: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:48 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: okay. at least i'm not crazy | 21:49 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: You're not crazy. Try restarting the machine. Sometimes that does magical things. | 21:49 |
| kelvinella | why real mess? | 21:49 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, why real mess? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: you have adobe-flashplugin installed which may cause issue as well as residual config from flashplugin-nonfree which will only complicate stuff | 21:49 |
| folke | julie: Okay sound like an good idee | 21:49 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: I think something is up that your wifi network is not visible. | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: the comamand I gave will strip it all out, then install the one plugin you need | 21:50 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: when i restart the machine, with any of the drivers installed, i have to modprobe when i get back because it won't load on it's own. is that correct behavior? | 21:50 |
| kelvinella | adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree? | 21:50 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: No absolutely not. | 21:50 |
| pokoko222 | how to start mysql? | 21:50 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: I'm guessing that means the system didn't identify any hardware that uses those modules | 21:50 |
| bayer | hi there, for some reason the flash player on my system is crashing _extremely_ often. is there something i can do about it? | 21:50 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: okay. now we're getting somewhere | 21:51 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: I suppose. Hahaha, we're learning there aren't any drivers that work! :P | 21:51 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: like i said, nothing is using the module so says lsmod | 21:51 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, do i execute sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get -y install flashplugin-nonfree in one line? | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: I suggest (if it doesn't work), grab the tar.gz file and extract the .so file to ~/.mozilla/plugins as you appear to only have 10.0.1 and you should be using 10.3 | 21:51 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: which is bad. You should get something like pcmcia_core is using b43 or is using wl | 21:51 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, or should i do them seperately? | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: yes, it's all one line | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: no, tht's why I give them that way | 21:52 |
| kelvinella | should i close ff when i am doing that ActionParsnip ? | 21:52 |
| xangua | ActionParsnip: what's with adobe-flashplugin package¿ | 21:52 |

| Trfsrfr | hey all, I just purchased a new video card and want to see if its on the accepted hardware list. Can someone tell me where to find that information? | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | klown: you can simply remove one of the panels in the right click menu | 21:53 |
| klown | ActionParsnip, thanks, but I need to remove both | 21:53 |
| xangua | ActionParsnip: so it's besto to install flashplugin-nonfree instead of adobe-flashplugin package} | 21:54 |
| xangua | ¿ | 21:54 |
| klown | ActionParsnip, Correction, I'd *like* to remove both | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | klown: there is an option in gconf editor to make certain apps always run, the default is gnome-panel, change it to avant-window-navigator (or whatever the command is) | 21:54 |

| davidhel1234567 | ActionParsnip: sorry took so long here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/iAqGZdBu | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: yes, close ALL browsers, then when you rerun the plugin will be reloaded | 21:55 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: These people are all trying to get the BCM4311 card to work. You have a BCM4321 so it is totally different story. Additionally, there is no bug with 4311. I personally have it working on the past 3 ubuntu releases. You install firmware-b43-install and b43-fwcutter and restart and it works. | 21:55 |

| Evildaemon | How do I read things printed to stdout but have closed the terminal window? | 21:55 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: One last guess. Do you know the name of the wifi network? Do you need a password? | 21:56 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: did you disable your wireless card in the bios? | 21:56 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/EnvMTZr1 looks ok now? | 21:56 |
| puneet | can anyone tell me what is apr-devel? | 21:56 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: yes but they seem to be using the STA driver. so i've also tried rolling back to the 5.60 driver that was in lucid and maverick and it does not work either. just thought it might be a similar problem. | 21:57 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: yes and no | 21:57 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: i didn't myself unless it changed when i installed ubuntu | 21:57 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: tried finding hidden network in network-manager. no go. | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: looks a lot better | 21:58 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: Ok, well both the hw killswitch and the sofware killswitch appear to be active on your wifi. | 21:58 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, thx | 21:58 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: It might be related. I suggest you make new bug post on launchpad. The more thorough the better. Be very clear that you are using bcm4321 and the output of commands like lsmod | grep b43/wl and sudo iwlist scan | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | davidhel1234567: there is a native driver for that chip, why use ndiswrapper? | 21:58 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: you can connect to a wifi network if you run sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [name] key [wifi key] | 21:58 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, why do i have adobe-flash before? i didnt remembered installing that | 21:58 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: oh, and dmesg which reports all things came up fine for b43 | 21:59 |
| davidhel1234567 | ActionParsnip: I tried that after the wireless wasn't working the first time assuming it was the driver | 21:59 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: you're on a laptop, correct? | 21:59 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: SET failed on device wlan0 ; no such device | 22:00 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: sudo ifconfig -a does it list wlan0 ? | 22:00 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOgre: yes, i have a switch to turn it on but the light dosn't change when i push it | 22:00 |
| Evildaemon | Theres no law against hitting servers with SSH requests, as long as your not obviously trying to/don't crack the box, right? | 22:00 |
| guntbert | Evildaemon: you cannot, gone is gone | 22:00 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: flip the switch then run that last command ActionParsnip gave you. | 22:01 |
| puneet | Can anyone tell me please what is apr-devel? | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | davidhel1234567: look online, there are tonnes of guides for it | 22:01 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: that should turn off the hardware killswitch. | 22:01 |
| Evildaemon | guntbert, what I thought | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: not sure, is it ok now? | 22:01 |
| edbian_ | puneet: development done in april | 22:01 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: hmmm...not anymore. i think the b43 driver called it that. STA calls it eth2 | 22:01 |
| guntbert | Evildaemon: your second quiestion has nothing to di with ubuntu support | 22:01 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: ok ill try that hang on | 22:01 |
| guntbert | *do | 22:02 |
| edbian_ | phoenixkc: eth2 is WRONG. I think the b43 driver is closer to working. However I think both are broken. Clearly STA is broken | 22:02 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: are you talking about a physical switch on the machine or a function key combo to shut off wifi? | 22:02 |
| Evildaemon | Okay. Just asking. | 22:02 |
| phoenixkc | edbian_: agreed | 22:02 |
| puneet | edbian_: do it has some special meaning? | 22:02 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, i dont know, because my computer wont crash unless i have watched many flash video for a long time | 22:02 |
| puneet | edbian_:or some special purpose? | 22:03 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: i pressed it and the hard blocked said no now | 22:03 |
| kelvinella | ActionParsnip, now i am watch some youtube and justin.tv, it looks ok. if there is any problem later on, i msg you | 22:03 |
| xen | hey someone please help me... i have the ESSID for a wifi and i wont connect to it using command line... someone please advice... | 22:03 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: its a physical switch | 22:03 |
| xen | hey someone please help me... i have the ESSID for a wifi and i want to connect to it using command line... someone please advice... | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kelvinella: magic ;) | 22:03 |

| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: Ok, so now we need to find the software switch | 22:03 |

| Poindexter_ | Is it better to uninstall Apache2 and install L | 22:05 |

| Poindexter_ | Lamp | 22:05 |
| dijonyummy123 | is there any decent video capture app for linux that just works. anyone have any success | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Poindexter_: lamp will install apache, no point realy | 22:05 |
| trakinas | Poindexter_: no point. | 22:05 |
| julie | Poindexter_, Apache is part of LAMP, so I don't get where you're going | 22:05 |
| rationalOgre | Poindexter_: Unless you want php and mysql set up for you? | 22:06 |
| trakinas | Poindexter_: plus, you are already in lamp.... | 22:06 |
| trakinas | LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL, Python/Perl/PHP | 22:06 |
| Poindexter_ | I was reading about certain dependencies. | 22:06 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: im looking but i don't see the key for it anywhere | 22:06 |
| trakinas | nothing that APT can't bring you and in a better and more organized way. | 22:06 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: make/model of laptop? | 22:06 |
| Poindexter_ | I suppose the only reason why would be starting afresh and removing the old configurations.j | 22:07 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: HP G60-458DX | 22:07 |
| bazhang | dijonyummy123, capture from what? vidcamera, desktop actions, or streaming video | 22:07 |
| rationalOgre | Poindexter_: Functionally, installing a preconfigured AMP stack is no different than installing and configuring Apache2, MySQL and PHP/Python/Perl yourself. It may be easier for some. | 22:08 |

| sysop-work | hey how do I echo something to the current tty in linux? I am used to doing it in bsd. but when I try it in linux I get permission denied. | 22:13 |
| edbian_ | sysop-work: echo $variable | 22:13 |
| folke | Julie: I cannot connect to the internet even if I make the route command | 22:13 |
| edbian_ | sysop-work: echo 'hello world' | 22:13 |
| sysop-work | you know thats not what I need to do | 22:13 |
| sysop-work | how about some help? | 22:13 |
| julie | folke, I thought you had told me you were able to ping google? | 22:13 |
| bazhang | sysop-work, then say what you do need to do, we cannot read minds | 22:14 |
| edbian_ | sysop-work: ? That's how you echo something | 22:14 |
| sysop-work | ok I need to have a script to write something to the current tty from a bash script. normally I would use the echo command to do that. | 22:14 |
| folke | julie: Yes i was, but it doesent work anyway....ive tried with the new ip I got after connecting once agin to the 3G | 22:15 |
| sysop-work | I want to have a bash script that I send to the background and have it write to the current tty when a time limit is up. | 22:15 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: try this "sudo rfkill unblock 0" | 22:15 |
| julie | folke, so if now your wireless is connected, try again to ping google.com and then tell me what happens when you try to access the Internet | 22:16 |
| folke | julie: ok | 22:16 |
| dijonyummy123 | video download helper doesn't seem to work for creativelive website, so thats why i want something that works that can capture from whatevers on the desktop | 22:16 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: it removed the blocks | 22:16 |
| sysop-work | I used to be able to do to echo "some text">/dev/freebsdtty1 (sorry cant ememeber the format) and it would print to the current tty as long as I got the tty right | 22:16 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: Ok, so did you blacklist the normal driver for your wireless card? | 22:16 |
| bazhang | dijonyummy123, not one tool can do it all. that works for the majority of sites though | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sysop-work: http://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/76660-send-console-message-all-users-tty.html | 22:16 |
| oCean | sysop-work: normally a backgrounded script will send STDOUT to current tty, so any echo would do | 22:17 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: i orginally did but removed them now | 22:17 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: should be b44 | 22:17 |
| rationalOgre | I think | 22:17 |
| sysop-work | ocean that is helpfull, but I kinda wanted it to go to all users. | 22:17 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: so do a sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper | 22:17 |
| rationalOgre | and sudo modprobe b44 | 22:17 |
| julie | sysop-work, that would work if it was your current tty, I just tested it here | 22:17 |

| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: k i typed it but its taking a long time | 22:18 |
| edbian_ | xen: the network shows up in sudo iwlist scan correct? | 22:18 |
| oCean | sysop-work: ok, i still don't understand the question | 22:19 |
| sysop-work | I can show you the code I used to use in bsd. but like I said I know I am tty5 and when I echo text>/dev/tty5 I get permission denied | 22:19 |
| edbian_ | xen: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ | 22:19 |
| folke | julie: Im back and now It works :) | 22:19 |
| sysop-work | so why cant I write directly to /dev/tty5 even as root? | 22:20 |
| julie | folke, just apply the same steps each time | 22:20 |
| xen | edbian_, thnxx for the link buddy.. going through it now... | 22:20 |

| edbian_ | xen: sure | 22:21 |
| tute | Hello, I was wondering, is getting Gnome 3 running on Ubuntu through the PPA repositories the best way, or is there a better way? | 22:21 |
| sysop-work | julie, so linux prevents you from writing to a tty directly even as root? | 22:21 |
| ImDexter | everytime I plug in an external HD ubuntu opens a new window, I want it to open a new tab, can that be done? | 22:21 |
| sysop-work | julie, I was afraid of that but couldnt find a straight answer anywhere | 22:21 |
| davidhel1234567 | rationalOrge: it still working, and i still can't see my networks | 22:22 |
| julie | sysop-work, it's not a generalized limitation as I can on another installation | 22:22 |
| rationalOgre | davidhel1234567: You may need to reboot. Which command is it hanging on? modprobe -r ndiswrapper or modprobe b44? | 22:22 |
| oCean | sysop-work: there's also the 'write' command, but I think it requires username | 22:22 |

| ActionParsnip | valeria: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then wait a few seconds then retry a sound app | 22:28 |
| julie | valeria, can you test earphones? | 22:28 |
| valeria | julie, yes, i'm going to do it | 22:28 |
| valeria | julie, anyway the speakers work on windows | 22:28 |
| DasEi | Maylow: that wierd spam-pm, is why I asked an o*p, if not busy | 22:28 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| julie | valeria, in this case you should try what ActionParsnip just said | 22:29 |
| Maylow | DasEi, yes, it's annoying | 22:29 |
| Maylow | and inappropreate | 22:29 |
| Maylow | free walpapers... | 22:29 |
| valeria | julie, ? | 22:29 |
| julie | valeria, 10 lines above | 22:29 |
| valeria | julie, ok | 22:29 |
| Maylow | did anyone use virtualbox with ubuntu host - ext4, win xp guest - ntfs and shared folders? | 22:31 |
| Maylow | I mean - flawlessly | 22:31 |
| DasEi | Maylow: yes | 22:31 |
| bullgard4 | I bought a computer having 4 GB RAM. I would like to know how much hard disk space should I allocate to a swap partition? I intend to hibernate this laptop computer when need arises. | 22:32 |
| Maylow | DasEi, I have a weird problem - occasionally cannot overwrite files in shared folders | 22:32 |
| valeria | julie, doesn't work | 22:32 |
| DasEi | Maylow: wrong channel here, but the FAQ on vb's homepage explain it very well, also there is #vbox | 22:32 |
| valeria | ActionParsnip, doesn't work | 22:32 |
| folke | julie: It doesent work :( I have to use the sudo route add default gw command | 22:33 |
| Maylow | DasEi, #vbox sounds nice, I'll try it, 10x | 22:33 |
| DasEi | bullgard4: 8 g should be fine | 22:33 |
| smokeytan | quit | 22:33 |
| bullgard4 | DasEi: Thank you. | 22:33 |
| Maylow | DasEi, but since only few people are taking here, if you have any experience with this issue, you may share | 22:33 |
| julie | folke, that is a bit strange but as I mentioned earlier you could make a simple script for it | 22:33 |
| tortib | i added my user to /etc/sudoers with the NOPASSWD: ALL directive and it's still asking for my password one time when i type sudo, how can i have it not ask for a password at all? | 22:34 |
| bazhang | tortib, thats a very bad idea | 22:34 |
| tortib | i don't care if it's a "bad idea" | 22:34 |
| tortib | it works on every other distro except ubuntu | 22:34 |
| julie | folke, are you familiar with shell scripts? | 22:34 |
| bazhang | tortib, and not supported, so please dont ask for help with it here | 22:34 |
| DasEi | Maylow: I had no problems with it, following the setting up from their FAQ's; apart from it I mostly use ssh (rsync,scp), more flexible than shares | 22:35 |
| tortib | not SUPPORTED? | 22:35 |
| tortib | bwahahahahha | 22:35 |
| bazhang | tortib, correct | 22:35 |
| tortib | bazhang: someone should be able to let sudo do what THEY Please | 22:35 |
| tortib | not let the distro decide | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tortib: they can but we won't help you achieve it in here | 22:35 |
| * julie nods | 22:36 | |
| bazhang | tortib, sure. but dont ask for help here | 22:36 |
| Maylow | DasEi, is it possible that way to mount an ubuntu folder as a windows drive transparently? | 22:36 |
| tortib | so i have to figure out what they did to cause this type of behavior to resolve it | 22:36 |
| tortib | or not use the distro | 22:36 |
| doomrobo | I'm running an ssh server on natty and I cannot connect to my own computer within my own network | 22:36 |
| tortib | i know i'm not the only one that wants this | 22:36 |
| julie | as you wish tortib | 22:36 |
| tortib | i'm sure someone in here has set it up the way i'm talking about | 22:36 |
| === niko is now known as evilNiko | ||
| doomrobo | when I type: ssh username@192.168.1.101 | 22:36 |
| DasEi | Maylow: y, I'll pm you | 22:36 |
| doomrobo | it gives me no route to host | 22:36 |
| bazhang | tortib, if they have or not, its not supported. please stop asking | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tortib: sure but it significantly reduces system security | 22:36 |
| julie | tortib, I even have a much simpler solution but unfortunately it's not supported here :P | 22:37 |
| tortib | anyone here setup sudo with the NOPASSWD: ALL directive and have it not ask for the password? | 22:37 |
| sysop-work | yes | 22:37 |
| julie | kick him someone please | 22:37 |
| bazhang | tortib, please stop asking. | 22:37 |
| tortib | stop telling me what i can say and not say | 22:37 |
| doomrobo | tortib Yes, why would you want that? | 22:37 |
| tortib | i'm not being insulting i want to get this done | 22:37 |
| tortib | doomrobo: how did you do it? | 22:37 |
| julie | is there no op here? | 22:37 |
| tortib | i added my user to /etc/sudoers but it did nothing. | 22:38 |
| doomrobo | nope | 22:38 |
| tortib | is there another config? | 22:38 |
| doomrobo | no | 22:38 |
| doomrobo | that's it | 22:38 |
| doomrobo | but you need the right syntax | 22:38 |
| julie | !ot tortib | 22:38 |

| bazhang | null___, then dont use it | 22:39 |
| null___ | how does the ubuntu corporation have all that money and all these bugs? | 22:39 |
| doomrobo | does anyone know if natty comes with a firewall of some sort? | 22:39 |
| julie | this is the problem with a restricted channel and no op!!! | 22:39 |
| doomrobo | because it's acting that way | 22:39 |
| null___ | bazhang: i already installed it and spent days setting it up | 22:39 |
| bazhang | doomrobo, iptables | 22:39 |
| julie | doomrobo, nfw | 22:39 |
| null___ | then decided to hook up my speakers and run into absurd audio bugs | 22:40 |

| null___ | s/ubuntu corporation/canolical ltd | 22:40 |
| doomrobo | julie so what do you think is refusing my incoming ssh connections, iptables is allowing all traffic | 22:40 |
| DasEi | doomrobo: ufw, but can easily disable it | 22:40 |
| === danslo is now known as CrAsHOVerRide | ||
| julie | doomrobo, check "nfw status" to see if it's active | 22:40 |

| Metroshica | how to I untar to another directory than the tarball? | 22:44 |

| soreau | usr13: /dev/dsp might not be present on systems with pulseaudio installed.. | 22:49 |
| valeria | usr13, uses pseudo casual input to generate audio output? | 22:49 |
| folke | julie: Thanks! I will try this :-) | 22:50 |
| usr13 | soreau: Well, yea, I suppose so. That is unfortunate. (I usually remove pulseaudio - and that may be the problem here as well.) | 22:50 |

| Random832 | elks294: what file? | 22:53 |
| DasEi | elks294: nvidia driver ? | 22:54 |
| valeria | usr13, ok, if that isa command that do this automatically I prefer to use it | 22:54 |
| Random832 | (the answer is probably "run it". possibly as root... but there may well be a package you should be using instead) | 22:54 |
| julie | elks294, prefixing it by "bash" should do it but this is unsupported | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | xen: is there no security on the connection? | 22:54 |
| usr13 | valeria: Just edit the file and put your name on that line. | 22:55 |

| soreau | SkotosDeath: Did you check the md5sum of the image you downloaded? | 22:57 |

| tensorpudding | Pin: you can't move or remove it, you can set it to hide always, but it will still be available when you touch the left screen edge, or hover over the ubuntu button | 23:21 |

| [deXter] | Hi all, can someone recommend a backup app/script/technique to backup my / partition from within the OS | 23:21 |
| tripelb | Can I use EVINCE to type on top of a pdf file. I know I have done that. Did I use something else? Thanks. | 23:21 |
| Pin | tensorpudding how do i set it to hide allways | 23:21 |
| tensorpudding | Pin: install the Compiz Config Settings Manager, and follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity | 23:22 |
| lenovice | <ActionParsnip> I do not know how to return an undetectable software I do not find good software to spliiter | 23:22 |
| DasEi | [deXter]: unison or rsync -Pr manually | 23:22 |
| DasEi | sudo rsync.. * | 23:22 |
| Pin | ok thank you! | 23:22 |
| tensorpudding | Pin: select the Autohide option under Hide Launcher in the Behavior Tab | 23:23 |
| [deXter] | DasEi, Thanks, and would rsync work even if the file is in use? | 23:23 |
| Yami_Bas | DasEi: i have pavucontrol and alsamixergui... | 23:23 |
| tripelb | copies advice to [deXter] | 23:23 |
| Yami_Bas | sudo gstreamer-properties then i did this in terminal and let linux use ALSA and my USB soundcard | 23:23 |
| DasEi | [deXter]: both ways are resumable, and that works, yes, also rsync has the -u (only sync altered files) option | 23:23 |
| DasEi | !info rsync | 23:24 |
| ubottu | rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.7-2ubuntu3 (natty), package size 278 kB, installed size 676 kB | 23:24 |
| DasEi | and a better algo then cp, [deXter] | 23:24 |
| [deXter] | Neat, thanks DasEi | 23:24 |
| DasEi | have backup | 23:24 |
| computerx | Hi, I restarted my wireless router, and my fileserver won't reconnect to it. ifup wlan0 says it's not configured. It does show in ip addr | 23:25 |
| [deXter] | DasEi, Could I rsync to a compressed file? like redirect the output to gzip or something | 23:25 |
| tripelb | If I want to type on top of a pdf file (that looks like a form) so I dont have to print it out and rescan (I cant) - what do I use? Thanks. | 23:25 |
| DasEi | [deXter]: you can directly tar it easier | 23:26 |
| mongy | is rcp different to rsync with ssh options? | 23:26 |
| valeria | nooneelse can help me with my audio prob= | 23:26 |
| valeria | ? | 23:26 |
| Polah | DasEi, [deXter], you could tar and gzip it. the -z flag with tar gzips the file | 23:26 |
| computerx | [deXter], you probably want to either use a combination of ssh, tar, cat and > or scp | 23:26 |
| tripelb | computerx you MUST do it like this (In case you have not) turn all off. trun on modem. wait. turn on router. wait. turn on computer. boot... THEN does it work? | 23:26 |
| computerx | tripelb, I really don't want to restart it. The wired connection has 3 PCs with open files right now. | 23:27 |
| [deXter] | computerx, I forgot to mention that I'll be backing up locally mounted FS.. | 23:27 |
| tripelb | well then what can I tell you. This is how AFAIK it must go. | 23:27 |
| tripelb | well then what can I tell you. This is how AFAIK it must go. computerx | 23:28 |
| computerx | tripelb, I know it works if I restart, I was hoping for a live restart of just the wireless network :( | 23:28 |
| computerx | [deXter], So you're basically copying from one folder to another? | 23:28 |
| [deXter] | computerx, Well basically I want to maintain a regular backup of my / partition | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | valeria: what is the issue? | 23:29 |
| [deXter] | Like make a differential backup every week and keep copies upto 4 weeks | 23:29 |
| tripelb | Ask away. But in your question let this special circumstance be known or you'll get repetitions of what I told you. heh. | 23:29 |
| tripelb | computerx ^^^^ | 23:29 |
| DasEi | [deXter]: Polah's hint is good, if there is enough space on the /~ HD, so tar-zip it and then rsync, though missing resume and update option then | 23:29 |
| computerx | [deXter], I do similar with: cp -ru --backup=numbered /home/computerx/workspace/* . | 23:30 |
| valeria | ActionParsnip, my audio stopped work, notwithstanding that speakers work on windows, alsa mixer is well setted and my username is in the right group (audio) | 23:30 |
| computerx | tripelb, Oh well, thanks. I'll restart it sometime over the next few days :) | 23:31 |
| [deXter] | DasEi, computerx Thanks, will explore these options further | 23:31 |
| tripelb | computerx do you know the answer to my question? I want to fill in a form that came on pdf without printing it. | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | valeria: did you try killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | valeria: sorry: rm -r ~/.pulse* | 23:32 |
| valeria | ActionParsnip, yes, nothing go better | 23:32 |
| computerx | tripelb, I have limited experience of pdfs and acrobat. I would take a screenshot and use gimp to overlay the text. I don't know of a better way. | 23:32 |
| tripelb | k | 23:32 |
| nvrpunk | how do I install a mutter theme manually? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | valeria: ok what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 23:32 |
| nvrpunk | i downloaded AdiaWhite from gnome-look.org | 23:32 |
| Polah | tripelb, computerx, have you tried pdfedit? | 23:32 |
| computerx | tripelb, If it's an actual proper PDF form, there's probably a better way. | 23:33 |
| julie | tripelb, when you open it in a browser, can't you fill it? | 23:33 |

| flyback | err logout | 23:49 |
| DasEi | flyback: alt-crtl-F1 | 23:49 |
| flyback | no that takes you to a VC | 23:50 |
| julie | no | 23:50 |
| DasEi | flyback: so can do it manually | 23:50 |
| julie | ctrl-alt-f1 won't bring him back to the login screen | 23:50 |
| flyback | this is worse than FISTa | 23:50 |
| Maylow | flyback, alt-crtl-F1 ten sudo reboot | 23:50 |
| Maylow | flyback, should do the job | 23:50 |
| flyback | I don't want to reboot though | 23:50 |

| s0up | hey would anybody happen to know if there is any known fix for window decorations in natty causing lag when moving windows? | 23:52 |
| DasEi | flyback: I don't use unity, but I'd try sudo service gdm stop, then start to get to the loginscreen, loader might be called different now | 23:52 |
| flyback | yeah I really hate this unity | 23:52 |
| valeria | ActionParsnip, thank you, but I've to discover why it stopped to work apparently with no reasons since this afternoon, nothing has changed in my system! | 23:52 |
| s0up | i don't have any lag whatsoever if I disable window decoration but then I have no window borders.. I can use metacity if needed but was hoping to get some compiz love | 23:52 |
| mrdeb | unity is not bad | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | valeria: makes sense strange indeed. Could read: dmesg | less to see what is going on | 23:53 |
| flyback | omg | 23:53 |
| DasEi | flyback: so switch back to classic gnome and I can help more | 23:53 |
| Maylow | mrdeb, yes it is... | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: its an opinion so is never concrete ;) | 23:53 |
| flyback | I can't even find a vc to run that command from | 23:53 |
| mrdeb | i also like gnome 3 | 23:53 |
| flyback | err xterm | 23:53 |

| valeria | ActionParsnip, yes | 23:54 |
| julie | flyback, ctrl-alt-f3 doesn't give you a login prompt^ | 23:54 |
| flyback | way to make this overly fucking complicated | 23:54 |
| DasEi | flyback: it's supereasy to switch to classic gnome | 23:54 |
