| jiffe99 | I use ILOs/DRACs on servers, I'm looking for something that I can use in a desktop | 00:02 |
| escott | cassiopeia_, the prompt only shows for terminals that report themselves as xterm-color. you can enable force-color-prompt in your .bashrc | 00:02 |
| escott | bigtfishbone, what platform are you trying to burn the install cd from | 00:03 |
| bigtfishbone | earthmeLon, i don't have it installed | 00:03 |

| entel | m_fulder: double check the auth credentials i suppose | 00:04 |

| escott | bigtfishbone, i was trying to figure out what package cdrecord was in. its evidently not in cdrecord. | 00:07 |
| m_fulder | entel, you mean in postfix configuration? | 00:07 |

| nimbiotics | Hello ya'll. I created an iso file using DVD to which I appended some files using iso master. I burned a dvd which I tried in 2 different dvds and worked in one of them, but what really troubles me is that I cant run the dvd in the same computer I used to burn it, VLC gives me the error message shown at http://paste.ubuntu.com/626938/ | 00:08 |
| wtracy | drpfenderson, it looks like you're doing it right | 00:08 |
| entel | m_fulder: yes | 00:09 |
| bigtfishbone | escott, as in "sudo apt-get install brasero" ? | 00:09 |
| wtracy | drpfenderson, are you creating the link in an existing folder, that you have write access to? | 00:09 |
| escott | bigtfishbone, yes | 00:09 |
| escott | bigtfishbone, they have instructions with screenshots on the ubuntu website | 00:10 |
| wtracy | drpfenderson, also, are both your source and destination on the same partition on the same device? | 00:10 |
| drpfenderson | wtracy, Yes. I am. At first I just "ln -s" the directory, but I only need 1 file linked, so I'm trying to just 'ln' the file.... | 00:10 |
| filo1234 | drpfenderson: why you are using ./ ? | 00:10 |
| drpfenderson | wtracy, yes. Both on the same drive. | 00:10 |

| filo1234 | or ln -s is better | 00:14 |

| pie_ | Has anyone ever had problems with the taskbar and "start menu bar" being blacok or ?not rendering?(at least thats what i think it was) | 00:22 |

| aliverius | np | 00:24 |
| pie_ | I managed to find a solution, I didn't reboot because I could still work and finish what i needed to, I fixed it by putting the Hulu player in full screen and pressing esc to exit it and that seemed to fix it | 00:24 |

| aeon-ltd | Guest41820: for browsing? | 00:29 |

| Guest41820 | No aeon-ltd , but I need the files | 00:29 |

| carmony | escott: ok, thanks | 00:31 |
| Guest41820 | quant, you didn't understand me, you see the variation of choice for latin fonts verdana times new roman, I need other fonts, but korean, please | 00:31 |

| folivora | glxgears | 01:11 |
| zolgar | Is there a way to add the KDE desktop to Ubuntu 11.04? Or would I have to install Kubuntu? | 01:11 |
| Trfsrfr | and I need to figure it out fast | 01:11 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, check restricted drivers program to install proprietary drivers if you want to do so | 01:11 |
| earthmeLon | Wondering if anybody has experience with, or knows of a good place to look to start troubleshooting touchpad problems (not able to horizontal OR two finger scroll or disable touchpad while typing). 11.04 on Vaio VPCF126FM | 01:12 |
| quant | zolgar, sudo apt-get install kde-desktop used to work a version or two ago, not sure if it works now | 01:12 |
| zolgar | Thanks, quant. :) I'll give it a shot. | 01:12 |
| rubenjr7777 | quant, can i instal games from the web on this? | 01:13 |
| andreas__ | Urm, I'm kinda new to Linux. And I'm trying to install spotify on it (Linux version) followed the guid on the Spotify website - to the point, but getting a "The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 01:13 |
| andreas__ | spotify-client-qt : Depends: libqt4-webkit (>= 4.5.0) but it is not going to be installed | 01:13 |
| andreas__ | E: Broken packages | 01:13 |
| andreas__ | " at the end | 01:13 |
| quant | zolgar, then just choose kde session on login | 01:13 |
| andreas__ | hmm..pastebin next time, sorry xD | 01:13 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, what do you mean by "games from the web"? | 01:13 |
| rubenjr7777 | quant like .exe extension games | 01:13 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, .exe files are mostly windows file that you cannot run under ubuntu | 01:13 |
| Hilikus | has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2 | 01:14 |
| rubenjr7777 | ahh okay what types of games do i have to get? | 01:14 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, ubuntu software center -> games | 01:14 |
| madsailor | Trfsrfr, if you detail your issue and the steps you have taken so far someone may be able to help you | 01:14 |
| rubenjr7777 | quant, they arent that good though. like are there any extreme 3d games | 01:14 |
| rubenjr7777 | like call of duty black ops on here | 01:14 |
| Trfsrfr | madsailor, okay, thanks. | 01:14 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, there are no games like that (almost) for GNU/Linux (Ubuntu or any other) | 01:15 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, but, you may be able to run some through wine | 01:15 |
| quant | !wine | rubenjr7777 | 01:16 |
| ubottu | rubenjr7777: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 01:16 |
| andreas__ | anyone know where I can get a backup of /etc/apt/sources.list for Ubuntu 11.04, a fresh one? | 01:16 |
| Trfsrfr | I installed a hp deskjet 3050, and have printed with it. but I cannot make it scan, and cannot find a place to adjust anything. | 01:16 |
| itaylor57 | Muon, yes that is quite old, have you tried running classic instead of unity? | 01:16 |
| madsailor | Trfsrfr, check in the software center for hplip | 01:17 |
| Muon | itaylor57: I *am* running classic | 01:17 |
| rubenjr7777 | ubottu thank you | 01:17 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 01:17 |
| rubenjr7777 | quant thank you | 01:17 |
| scarleo | How do I encrypt an email in Evolution if I have recieved someones pgp/gpg public key? | 01:17 |
| zolgar | quant, It didn't work, so I tried sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop, and now it seems to be installing the necessary files | 01:17 |
| quant | rubenjr7777, sure | 01:17 |
| thecrazy88 | Hello all! I'm using ubuntu for around 2 weeks, and it's being great. But I'm having a major problem in using it more. I depend heavily on MatLab and Photoshop. And I can't use equivalents, I need the originals. Without a virtual machine, there really is no other way I can run those properlly? I've tried Wine and others but no luck. A friend of mine has MatLab for linux but I only have for windows. | 01:17 |
| quant | zolgar, ah, right | 01:17 |
| madsailor | Trfsrfr, it is a config utility for hp devices. Also, have you tried using simple scan that comes standard with ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| Vimes | Sourcelist for 11.04 ? : > | 01:18 |
| Muon | itaylor57: don't even have the option to use the flash new DE trainwrecks :P | 01:18 |
| Muon | *flashy | 01:18 |
| itaylor57 | Muon, maybe someone else more versed in classic can give you help | 01:18 |
| Trfsrfr | madsailor, I have not. All of this is fairly new to me still... | 01:19 |
| quant | thecrazy88, haven't you, more or less, answered yourself already there? :) | 01:19 |
| Muon | itaylor57: it's not so much "classic" as it's a driver problem | 01:19 |
| itaylor57 | Muon, you are running natty right? | 01:19 |
| Muon | I know glxgears isn't a benchmark, but I only get 20 FPS in fullscreen | 01:19 |
| Muon | yes | 01:19 |
| madsailor | Trfsrfr, ok...if you go to the applications menu->graphics->simple scan this is the standard scanning utility that ubuntu ships with | 01:20 |
| Muon | and that's the "accelerated" version | 01:20 |
| thecrazy88 | quant I think so xD But wanted to be really sure I've gone through all the possibilities. So decided to ask you guys who know better than me! | 01:20 |
| madsailor | it works quite well with most hardware | 01:20 |
| Trfsrfr | hey thanks | 01:20 |
| quant | thecrazy88, all I can do is recommend gimp again and running matlab with wine perhaps (or does mathematica do the stuff you need?) | 01:20 |
| mtec007 | I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty? | 01:21 |
| === sbell is now known as TRAMP | ||
| madsailor | np. Like I said, if you want to do all the fancy HP stuff like print head cleaning and aligning etc, you can install hplip from the ubuntu software center | 01:22 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| i3luefire | im having the same problems with ubuntu and archbang but not windows and only sometimes with lubuntu | 01:22 |
| i3luefire | i need help with getting my laptop to connect to my lan. i have arch and kde installed | 01:22 |
| === TRAMP is now known as sbell | ||
| thecrazy88 | quant thank you about gimp, didn't know about that one. I can work with mathematica for myself, but teachers don't want to learn it ahah, they only like matlab. Probably my best chance is to work out a way of having it for linux. | 01:23 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest44728 | ||
| quant | thecrazy88, gimp is really good, and as for math software, besides mathematica and maple (pretty sure there's maple for gnu/linux too), there are many FOSS alternatives available that might suffice | 01:23 |
| Trfsrfr | gimme a minute | 01:24 |
| rationalOgre | i3luefire: Curious, why ask for support for Arch in a ubuntu channel? #archlinux | 01:25 |
| thecrazy88 | quant, thank you very much for the names, I'll take a look on those alternatives ;) | 01:25 |
| quant | thecrazy88, sure ;-) | 01:25 |
| sam555 | hello all! | 01:25 |
| sam555 | anyone know the apt-get command to download tight vnc for ubuntu netbook? | 01:26 |
| sam555 | i just want the viewer | 01:26 |
| Hilikus | has anyone managed to install boxee in ubuntu 11.04? i'm trying a fresh install with it and there's a package i can't find: libsdl-image1.2 | 01:26 |
| i3luefire | rationalOgre: bc it is also happening in ubuntu and sometimes lubuntu | 01:26 |
| rationalOgre | i3luefire: Sounds like a hardware issue then. | 01:26 |
| mtec007 | I've been battling flash, how can i get flash working on 64bit natty? i cant get it working on firefox or chromium-browser | 01:27 |
| i3luefire | rationalOgre: but not windoze | 01:27 |
| sam555 | lost connection, sorry. | 01:28 |
| sam555 | Anyone know the command line for sudo apt get install tight vnc? | 01:28 |
| earthmeLon | If I use mtr on my router and get a 25% packet loss, does that explain why my internet is slow at times? | 01:29 |
| mtec007 | sam555: did you try looking for it? sudo apt-get install tight(tab tab) | 01:29 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: yes | 01:29 |
| quant | sam555, apt-cache search tight | grep vnc and check that output | 01:29 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: packet loss means more packets have to get resent | 01:29 |
| Nisstyre | therefore slowing everything down | 01:29 |
| earthmeLon | Nisstyre, How can I tell that the packets are truly lost, and that the router isn't ignoring them because they ar ICMP? | 01:30 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: with TCP you can tell if a packet was lost or not | 01:30 |
| Nisstyre | UDP is a different story | 01:30 |
| earthmeLon | Nisstyre, do you know how to send tcp packets with mtr? | 01:30 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: TCP is guaranteed to be delivered | 01:30 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: not with mtr, no | 01:30 |
| earthmeLon | Hmmm, is it possible with ping Nisstyre ? | 01:31 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: earthmeLon just fire up wireshark | 01:31 |
| earthmeLon | I guess I'm just over thinking this. My router couldn't possibly be so bogged down it's ignoring ICMP/udp, eh? | 01:31 |
| Nisstyre | and see if it's sending multiple PSH packets | 01:31 |
| Nisstyre | aka repeats | 01:31 |
| earthmeLon | Yes, yes, I saw many repeats last time I opened wireshark, Nisstyre . I think this fishtank behind me is borking my connection | 01:32 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: but, ping should tell you if packets are being lost... | 01:32 |
| earthmeLon | It's the only thing between my laptop and the router | 01:32 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: huh? fishtank? | 01:32 |
| Nisstyre | somehow I doubt it | 01:32 |
| Nisstyre | what's your router model? | 01:32 |
| earthmeLon | Well, don't florescent light affect radio waves? | 01:33 |
| Nisstyre | I've never heard that... | 01:33 |
| * earthmeLon joins #physics | 01:33 | |
| earthmeLon | :P | 01:33 |
| Nisstyre | are they magnetic? | 01:33 |
| Nisstyre | specifically, electromagnetic? | 01:33 |
| sam555 | thank quant and mtec007 | 01:34 |
| quant | sure | 01:34 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: looks like they do produce some kind of electromagnetic radiation | 01:35 |
| Nisstyre | so you might be right | 01:35 |
| === michael is now known as Guest8361 | ||
| madsailor | Nisstyre, maybe his yellow tangs are full of heavy metals like tuna or swordfish and that is swallowing the lost packets ;) | 01:35 |
| Nisstyre | it would still have to be on the same frequency though | 01:36 |
| Clockmens | Gents | 01:36 |
| Imaonline | anyone with good mdadm knowledge can help me with this http://pastebin.com/E7i0cv3u | 01:36 |
| quant | earthmeLon, I really don't think that affects your connection | 01:36 |
| earthmeLon | lol Nisstyre I turned the light off and the % loss is decreasing consistantly | 01:36 |
| dijonyummy123 | is there a way to see io stats graphically, similar to cpu, memory, network? | 01:37 |
| Clockmens | How do I install Windows 7 + ubuntu on the same raid array (Windows already installed) when ubuntu can't see it in the installer. | 01:37 |
| mtec007 | Does anyone have any ideas on getting flash to work on 64bit natty? | 01:37 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: I don't believe you | 01:37 |
| earthmeLon | Will you believe youtube, Nisstyre ? | 01:37 |
| madsailor | dijonyummy, the 'system monitor' has a network tab | 01:37 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: possibly | 01:38 |
| earthmeLon | It went from 30% down to 10% and now it's flux'ing between 10-14% | 01:38 |
| dan_ | problem with update manager: i load it and I see a list of package updates. I click install updates button, the window blinks for a second and them I am brought back to the update manager screen. any ideas on how i can debug? | 01:38 |
| Clockmens | Anybody? | 01:38 |
| myloveisnick | Hey guys I'm having alot of trouble installing openvpn on ubuntu 10.03 does anyone have a guide that is VERY NOOB friendly? | 01:38 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: that's not proof the light caused it though | 01:39 |
| quant | dan_, sudo apt-get upgrade? | 01:39 |
| dijonyummy123 | madsailor: but thats network not, disk io | 01:39 |
| earthmeLon | Absolutely not Nisstyre. Proof would be 1%. It's actually back up to 19%. so, yeah, the effect (if any) was minimal | 01:40 |
| madsailor | dijonyummy123, ahhhh..sry idk offhand | 01:40 |
| earthmeLon | Nisstyre, If I opened wireshark, would it tell me WHY/HOW the packets are being lost? | 01:40 |
| glassresistor | im trying to add a second ati card to my 11.04 box | 01:40 |
| === Imaonline is now known as Skeeter- | ||
| dan_ | quant: hmm, that seems to be working. thanks. wonder why the GUI doesnt work, though | 01:40 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: Where are you seeing packet loss? | 01:41 |
| glassresistor | its not recognizing whichever card is in the 2nd slot, but it is showing up in pci-e | 01:41 |
| quant | dan_, try after upgrade, but I doubt it will be different, and no idea why it's not working, sorry | 01:41 |
| dan_ | quant: will do. thanks | 01:41 |
| ozzloy | why is the group of users allowed to become root called "wheel"? | 01:41 |
| earthmeLon | Between my wlan0->router (so, first hop) | 01:41 |
| quant | dan_, sure | 01:41 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: Ah, over wireless then? | 01:41 |
| myloveisnick | Anyone know why this command isnot working sudo apt-get install openvpn | 01:41 |
| earthmeLon | Yes, Corey. | 01:41 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: Did you try changing channels / base station positioning? | 01:41 |
| glassresistor | it might be a power issue but im curious what i need to do to get it to show up either way | 01:41 |
| quant | myloveisnick, what's the reported error? | 01:42 |
| myloveisnick | E: Couldnt find package openvpn | 01:42 |
| quant | myloveisnick, perhaps because there's no package openvpn then? | 01:42 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: what's your network adapter model? | 01:42 |
| glassresistor | would it show up in pci-e even if its under powered? | 01:42 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: Ideal world, you'd run 5ghz and bypass the overloaded 2.4ghz spectrum, but that requires newer hardware than many folks have. | 01:42 |
| myloveisnick | quant sorry noob here how should I go about getting it? | 01:42 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest81533 | ||
| myloveisnick | Im using putty | 01:42 |
| quant | myloveisnick, that package is not available in repositories, it might have a diffrent name, I don't know what you're after | 01:43 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: also, did you try fiddling with the router antenna? Sometimes the best position isn't the most obvious. | 01:43 |
| myloveisnick | I guess Im just trying to install openvpn on this ubuntu vps | 01:43 |
| myloveisnick | but I cant figure out how to get it to install in the first place, all of the guides online just state that command | 01:43 |
| Clockmens | Nobody got any ideas for my issue? | 01:43 |
| Trfsrfr | madsailor, you still around? | 01:43 |
| Nisstyre | it should actually be so the side of the antenna is facing your direction | 01:43 |
| quant | myloveisnick, are you on natty? | 01:44 |
| Clockmens | anybody about? | 01:44 |
| myloveisnick | natty? | 01:45 |

| myloveisnick | ah | 01:45 |
| earthmeLon | Corey, if I understand correctly, there are 'blind-spots' at the TOP and BOTTOM of the antenna. I normally position one antenna straight up, and another 45deg offset so that I amnot towards the point | 01:46 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: What's the distance from the router to the machine in question? | 01:46 |
| illmortal | Anyone know of a tutorial on how to add Windows 7 from an OEM disc onto a USB disk? | 01:46 |
| wtracy | quant, myloveisnick, Ubuntu package search says Lucid has an openvpn package | 01:47 |
| quant | illmortal, this is ubuntu support | 01:47 |
| illmortal | right... using Ubuntu <_<; | 01:47 |
| earthmeLon | Corey. 10-15ft. There is a wall (sheet-rock) and a fish tank in the way. I have turned off the florescent light, although I have been told that should have no/minimal effect | 01:47 |

| Clockmens | Pretty sure its hardware | 01:52 |
| earthmeLon | Corey, I am going to go to a LAN pc and ensure myself that it is indeed the wireless causing the issue, although I do believe it is. | 01:52 |
| Clockmens | ASUS Crosshair IV Formula, using the built in | 01:53 |
| jgp | Clockmens, make sure it's configured then usually you can log in during bios startup | 01:53 |
| Clockmens | When I installed windows I had to load a driver from CD. | 01:53 |

| Nisstyre | Hilikus: you don't | 01:57 |
| Nisstyre | Hilikus: you can install it as a package too | 01:57 |
| Hilikus | Nisstyre: so why did you suggest compiling it? | 01:58 |

| Nisstyre | it's not a bad thing to learn how to compile a library though | 01:58 |
| Hilikus | Nisstyre: i already know, i just try to avoid it since it creates unstable systems quite easily | 01:59 |
| glassresistor | pilot_g2: what kind of lappy? nvidia on 10.04 needs to have xorg.conf modified | 01:59 |
| Hilikus | Nisstyre: do you know which package has this library? | 02:00 |
| earthmeLon | Nisstyre, Corey. Kid in the other room turned on his crt tv. What a jerk-face. That was the problem | 02:00 |
| Nisstyre | Hilikus: only if you create conflicts | 02:00 |
| pilot_g2 | glassresistor: no, it has an intel gma card | 02:00 |
| Nisstyre | Hilikus: no I don't know the exact name it would be | 02:00 |
| glassresistor | hum but the brightness control buttons don't work? | 02:00 |
| Nisstyre | just search for xmlrpc I guess | 02:00 |
| pilot_g2 | it's an emachines eme527 | 02:00 |
| pilot_g2 | nope | 02:00 |
| === chad is now known as ebah | ||
| glassresistor | pilot_g2: ok hum it could either be that you need to set the function keys or that you need to tell xorg.conf to enable brightness control | 02:01 |
| earthmeLon | Actually, no, that wasn't the problem Corey Nisstyre v_v. Was too hasty to get excited | 02:01 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: I've never heard of CRTs doing it either... | 02:01 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: did you try fiddling with the antennas again? | 02:01 |
| quant | earthmeLon, any tesla coils around? | 02:01 |
| Trfsrfr | where do I access scan/printer options? | 02:01 |
| pilot_g2 | glassresistor: well, the brightness keys make that brightness control pop up on-screen, just doesn't do anything | 02:02 |
| ebah | Is it possible to read/write to ufs2(freebsd) partition in ubuntu. Trying to move from freebsd server to ubuntu server. | 02:02 |
| glassresistor | pilot_g2: xorg.conf then | 02:02 |
| earthmeLon | What are you suggestions on positioning, Nisstyre ? Should they both be parallel? Should I try to have them at different angles? | 02:02 |
| Raikia | Hey, I just did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04, removed some packages (pertaining to evolution and empathy), and now my clock indicator applet is gone. What package do I have to reinstall to get it back? | 02:02 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: I'd try making them both parallel at first maybe | 02:02 |
| Nisstyre | and then go from there | 02:02 |
| pilot_g2 | glassresistor: okay thanks, i'll look into it | 02:03 |
| dijonyummy123 | i do too much on my laptop besides browse web, word processing. i cant upgrade to 11.04/unity or will suffer. just want something stable and flexible | 02:03 |
| quant | Raikia, indicator-datetime possibly | 02:03 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: ##networking might have some better ideas | 02:03 |
| Raikia | quant: Thanks, Ill try that | 02:03 |
| glassresistor | pilot_g2: in xorg.conf under device try this "Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"" | 02:03 |
| Raikia | whats the equivalent of killall gnome-panel for 11.04? | 02:04 |
| Nisstyre | Raikia: pkill gnome-panel ? | 02:04 |
| Raikia | oh, no. killall mutter | 02:05 |
| pilot_g2 | glassresistor: okay, thanks, will let you know if it works after I restart X | 02:05 |
| robin0800 | Nisstyre: what panel do you mean? | 02:05 |
| Nisstyre | robin0800: that was in response to his question | 02:06 |
| Nisstyre | Sorry, I shouldn't answer a question with a question | 02:06 |
| escott | Raikia, unity-panel-service maybe | 02:06 |
| Sterist | is there anything in the software center that will zip a batch of files individually? | 02:06 |
| dallas1 | Is Arch Linux basically setting up your own distro from scratch? And is there any particular advantage to that distro over others? Also, as someone who has been using Kubuntu/Ubuntu on and off for two years, what would be some other distros to try out? | 02:07 |
| escott | Raikia, mutter is for gnome3 | 02:07 |
| Corey | earthmeLon: Yeah, radio's a fun thing. | 02:07 |
| Nisstyre | dallas1: no it isn't | 02:07 |
| Nisstyre | dallas1: the advantage is that it's exactly what you want (more or less) | 02:07 |
| earthmeLon | It'll be worth it once I figure it out. I'm reading that glass/mirrors *CAN* cause signals to bounce/fail, Corey, Nisstyre | 02:07 |
| Nisstyre | haha | 02:08 |
| Nisstyre | mirrors? | 02:08 |
| Nisstyre | wow | 02:08 |
| robin0800 | earthmeLon: don't forget the smoke | 02:08 |
| Nisstyre | dallas1: also Arch is a rolling release distro, so you get updates quicker than other distros | 02:09 |
| Nisstyre | downside is that it's a lot of downloading | 02:09 |
| Clockmens | Is libre office rebranded openoffice or something different? | 02:09 |
| escott | Clockmens, yes | 02:09 |
| Clockmens | But Openoffice sucks :*( | 02:09 |

| j2daosh | anyone know what room to go to for help with KML? | 02:10 |
| j2daosh | i tried going to #google/googleapi/kml, but none of those had people that were alive | 02:10 |
| Clockmens | I have a question, why should a generic office/desktop user ever use any distro other than ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| Raikia | quant: Thanks, that worked! | 02:11 |
| robin0800 | Clockmens: when the don't like unity in 11.10 | 02:12 |
| Nisstyre | Clockmens: there some other *nix distros aimed at people not too knowledgeable, e.g. Mint, OpenSuSE, PC-BSD | 02:12 |
| Nisstyre | *are some | 02:12 |
| yarddog | lol @ robin0800 | 02:12 |
| Nisstyre | PC-BSD is lol though | 02:12 |
| earthmeLon | Nisstyre, Networking directed me to http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/367681/what-can-get-in-wi-fis-way | 02:13 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: so get rid of all of those possibilities | 02:14 |
| Nisstyre | and if it's still losing packets then it's something else | 02:14 |
| earthmeLon | Yeah, GF won't be happy to get rid of her 125gal fish tank | 02:14 |
| Hilikus | how can i still a deb package with all its dependencies? | 02:14 |
| earthmeLon | Just thought you'd like to read it, because it has a goodlist of problematic things (some of whichyou said you weren't sure could cause interference) | 02:14 |
| === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D | ||
| Raikia | Hey, so I just installed ubuntu 11.04 and my desktop notifications (from notify-send) is posting the notifications on my right monitor when my left monitor is primary. Is there a way to fix this? (I have two monitors. left is primary). It worked fine in ubuntu 10.10. | 02:15 |
| Nisstyre | earthmeLon: anything that causes electromagnetic radiation can in theory cause interference | 02:15 |
| robin0800 | Hilikus: I like gdebi | 02:15 |
| quant | Nisstyre, sunlight is em radiation :) | 02:16 |
| Nisstyre | quant: yeah | 02:16 |
| Nisstyre | which is why I'm still skeptical | 02:16 |
| quant | Nisstyre, he needs specific type of em to get interference, and I don't think it's happening | 02:16 |
| Kevin147 | I'm having trouble with Ubuntu Server. Everytime I go to install the base system, it gives me errors that 'this file' is corrupt. I've burned like 3-4 disks or more, so its not my disks. and I've downloaded it from ubuntu.com so what could the problem be? | 02:19 |
| yarddog | burn it slowly | 02:19 |
| quant | Kevin147, your hard drive could be the problem | 02:20 |
| Nisstyre | Kevin147: "md5sum *.iso" | 02:20 |
| Nisstyre | and compare it to the md5 on the site | 02:20 |
| dallas1 | Can someone recommend me a distro outside of Ubuntu? I've been using that for quite a while and I'm kind of looking for a new (perhaps more "advanced") experience, as well as trying out desktops other than Gnome (like KDE and what not). | 02:20 |
| Kevin147 | quant: how can my HD be the problem? I can burn ubuntu 11.04 on it just fine. I just want the server version on it, and I get a bunch of crap. | 02:21 |
| Nisstyre | dallas1: Arch or Debian | 02:21 |
| quant | dallas1, debian, but that's not really an ubuntu support question :) | 02:21 |
| Kevin147 | but, thanks for the information yarddog, because I use kde pclos on my desktop, and it burns in like 30 seconds with k3b. or whatever its called. so that must be the problem. thanks! | 02:21 |
| quant | Kevin147, because tens of thousands of people are downloading that same file with no problem... so I doubt that the .iso is damaged, check other options | 02:22 |
| escott | dallas1, you can install kde on ubuntu | 02:22 |
| dallas1 | escott: What's the difference between KDE and Gnome? From what I understand it has more "freedom". | 02:23 |
| === jwulf is now known as jwulf_afk | ||
| Nisstyre | dallas1: don't listen to the people saying that | 02:23 |
| Nisstyre | it's just a different style of desktop manager | 02:23 |
| quant | they're both free open source software | 02:23 |
| escott | dallas1, i dont know what that means. | 02:24 |
| Nisstyre | some people are fascists about software only being free if it has a "GPL compatible" license | 02:24 |
| dallas1 | Nisstyre: So you can do just as much with your desktop using Gnome as you coulkd with a KDE one? | 02:24 |
| Nisstyre | yes | 02:24 |
| jazz2 | I just upgraded my ubuntu server from 9.04 to 10.04 (via 9.10); the server is connected via wlan(wpa2,54MB); the problem started with 9.10: the download speed from the server to any computer in the lan is now down to 100kB total (apache, samba), while uploading is still where it was @~700kB any idea how I can fix that? | 02:25 |
| diegoribeiro | alguem pode me ajudar? | 02:25 |
| escott | dallas1, i think the "freedom" people might be talking about would be a distinction between gpl and non-gpl'ed software which was more relevant when kde wasn't fully gpl'ed these days it is | 02:25 |

| escott | dallas1, kde historically has had more options in its menus, and gnome has gone the opposite with having less options | 02:26 |
| escott | dallas1, but i havent looked at kde in a long time | 02:26 |

| tmg | jazz2: are you sure it is just upgrade/soft problem? doesnt seems like one | 02:26 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, ruby1.9 is in apt | 02:26 |
| jazz2 | tmg, all was good with 9.04, so I guess it is related | 02:27 |
| JRWR | Im having some issues with a semi complex script, http://pastebin.com/8A872nmB - Using netcat, I wish to proxy the traffice from a internal server, LZMA it, pass it over the nextwork, and the client decompresses and passes it to the Client program, and two way traffic is a must, This script fails to work, when something tries to connect to port 1990 on the client, it just resets the socket | 02:27 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: I know... I just found that out... so since I just installed 1.9.1 myself, and will use apt-get to install 1.9.2 I don't want to lay down multiple versions. | 02:27 |
| tmg | jazz2: so maybe some hw problem, if config is the same i will go into drivers tests | 02:28 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, make uninstall then | 02:28 |
| kernelpanicker | aha | 02:28 |
| kernelpanicker | ok | 02:28 |
| jazz2 | tmg, I kept the configs, how would I go about testing the drivers? | 02:29 |
| tmg | jazz2: what i mean you should notice kernel change and maybe it is not workin well in new version | 02:29 |
| jazz2 | tmg, hm maybebe, but what doesn't make sense is that I still can upload to the server at the normal speed and only the download is effected | 02:31 |

| tmg | i realy cant see a reason why software, distro, change can affect that | 02:35 |
| jazz2 | tmg, it's wlan0 on the server (so no cable :), if it was hardware the upload would be affected too ... | 02:36 |
| tmg | not if it is d-link or something | 02:37 |
| tmg | these are weird on wire ;p | 02:37 |
| tmg | i mean on wireless | 02:37 |
| tmg | anyway does your wlan workin at all? can you see AP and just not connect or it doesnt work at all? | 02:39 |

| rationalOgre | david: One of the reasons I will probably never use Unity. | 02:46 |
| robin0800 | jazz2, newer card firmware or ipv6 problem | 02:46 |
| tmg | david: the easiest way is to put some window near the bar, the bar will go into hidden mode then and you have no problem ;p | 02:46 |
| celthunder | david: if you don't like how your de/wm looks use a different one. theres plenty available that do let you customize how they look completely ground up | 02:47 |
| jazz2 | tmg, hmm that is too bad, I wanted to avoid making a clean install, thanx | 02:47 |

| celthunder | rationalOgre: pretty sure apache2 nginx has a diff default directory | 03:05 |
| edmin | please don't bring it down | 03:05 |
| celthunder | infinitux: indeed you are | 03:05 |
| rationalOgre | celthunder: yeah. | 03:06 |
| rationalOgre | celthunder: It's apatche2 | 03:06 |
| rationalOgre | celthunder: http://utech.dyndns.info/blah | 03:06 |
| edmin | I'm not able to ftp to this box yet | 03:06 |
| celthunder | rationalOgre edmin how'd you want to do it or just edit the site as root ad chmod all the files as needed | 03:07 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Ok, so why not just point your apache2.conf to a directory you are able to edit with your user account? | 03:07 |
| celthunder | rationalOgre: edmin see above statement by me | 03:07 |
| edmin | I connect but when I go to move the files, my linux server states something about not being able to get the file size so it never actually moves to this server | 03:07 |

| Barridus | anyone know why unity's launcher bar isn't remembering icon placement? | 03:08 |
| edmin | your saying I can move files with sudo? | 03:08 |
| edmin | do you have the syntacs | 03:08 |
| celthunder | edmin: yeah....mv <file> <destfile> | 03:08 |
| edmin | I'm working with 3-4 books and on line | 03:09 |
| celthunder | edmin: but sort of not the best way to do that | 03:09 |
| edmin | so sudo mv index.html ~/var/www | 03:09 |
| edmin | something like that? | 03:09 |
| celthunder | edmin: yes | 03:09 |
| celthunder | wait | 03:09 |
| celthunder | no | 03:09 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: um, | 03:09 |
| celthunder | NO | 03:09 |
| celthunder | get rid of the ~ | 03:09 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: that will error on you if you run it like that. | 03:10 |
| celthunder | unless your home dir is / | 03:10 |
| edmin | okay if the file is in my home folder how will it know to back out to var | 03:10 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: It won't. | 03:10 |
| edmin | I'll give it a shot so my questions are better | 03:10 |

| gNewPower | Hi! I need to restart the daemon which runs the mouse under U11.04. I tried "sudo service gpm restart" but is says gpm: unrecognized service. how do I restart that? thanks! | 03:11 |
| celthunder | rationalOgre: edmin probably | 03:11 |
| edmin | sorry yes I'm very new | 03:11 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Ok, how's your understanding of linux in general? This your first time using it? | 03:11 |
| celthunder | gNewPower: ? dbus? | 03:11 |
| edmin | nill | 03:11 |
| gNewPower | celthunder, dunno? | 03:11 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: It's quite ok. We all were there at some point. | 03:11 |
| celthunder | gNewPower: /etc/init.d/dbus restart | 03:11 |
| gNewPower | celthunder, lemme try | 03:12 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Right. So you have little to no understanding of what the commands you are issuing are doing. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's important to be aware of it. | 03:12 |
| edmin | I'm able to install from the shell, using apt-get | 03:12 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Ok, cool. So I imagine you ran something like "sudo apt-get install apache2" right? | 03:12 |
| edmin | yes | 03:12 |
| edmin | apache2 | 03:12 |
| edmin | I may have gotten it installing lamp | 03:13 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Ok. | 03:13 |
| edmin | i'd have to go through my notes | 03:13 |
| gNewPower | celthunder, X crashed | 03:13 |
| celthunder | rationalOgre: can i pm you real quick? | 03:13 |
| rationalOgre | celthunder: Sure. | 03:13 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Now, you have a shiny new apache2 installation on your system. Your next step is to learn how to configure it. Right now the DocumentRoot is set to /var/www, but your user account most likely does not have access to that folder. | 03:14 |
| edmin | you are exactly right. | 03:15 |
| BigPalabra | why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S | 03:15 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: So what I suggest doing is going to the Apache2 documentation website and reading up about configuring apache2 for ubuntu | 03:15 |
| edmin | I took owner of it on an earlier try, but then didn't know how to undo it | 03:15 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: Probably better to just google "apache2 configuration ubuntu | 03:15 |
| edmin | thanks I'll give that a shot... | 03:16 |
| edmin | exit | 03:16 |
| edmin | quit | 03:16 |
| IdleOne | /exit | 03:16 |
| rationalOgre | edmin: put a / before the command | 03:16 |
| BigPalabra | why I can't edit or modify the file "etc/default/grub" ??? I have gedit installed :-S | 03:17 |
| celthunder | BigPalabra: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub | 03:19 |
| rationalOgre | BigPalabra: it would be /etc/default/grub and chances are you need to do what celthunder said. | 03:19 |
| rationalOgre | though I would use gksudo | 03:19 |
| rationalOgre | but that's just me. :D | 03:19 |

| Lewoco | Can someone running vlc do 'top' and tell me how much virtual memory the process is using? | 03:20 |
| celthunder | infinitux: good so if you'd googled rather than wasting our time we'd all be happier :) | 03:21 |
| celthunder | Lewoco: that would depend on what you're loading/watching at the time | 03:22 |
| celthunder | Lewoco: nobody's goign to end up with the same result as you and likely not even close | 03:22 |
| bsmith093 | im using nmap, is there a faster why ton gey os info about the network | 03:23 |

| MistuhKurtz | it's got an internal 160GB HDD | 03:26 |
| celthunder | MistuhKurtz: depends on the network too | 03:27 |
| MistuhKurtz | I think i might connect an external USB HDD and use it as a sort of NAS as well | 03:27 |
| MistuhKurtz | local home network, ethernet cable | 03:27 |
| MistuhKurtz | at least for the EEE PC (server) and the xbox, they'd be on ethernet | 03:27 |
| celthunder | yeah that clarifies...10Mbit 100Mbit 1Gbit? twisted pair? | 03:27 |

| alexcockell | Morning.. | 03:34 |
| Tekk_ | do I have it in the wrong place or something? | 03:34 |

| MistuhKurtz | well i wanna have a WM incase i want to unplug it and use it as a notebook | 03:34 |
| MistuhKurtz | instead of a server | 03:34 |
| MistuhKurtz | so is netbook remix like a specialized window manager then? | 03:35 |

| qin | MistuhKurtz: Pick any from that list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers | 03:36 |
| trism | Tekk_: just install the linux-firmware-nonfree package, that has the firmware for p54usb (it goes in /lib/firmware) | 03:37 |
| MistuhKurtz | why's it feel kinda sluggish if it's supposed to be optimized for low powered netbooks | 03:37 |
| MistuhKurtz | lol | 03:37 |
| trism | Tekk_: however, if this is natty, the device won't work unless you upgrade to linux-image-2.6.38-10 (which has the patch that fixes it) | 03:37 |
| Tekk_ | MistuhKurtz: because it's not | 03:37 |
| Tekk_ | MistuhKurtz: unity is a full 3d desktop, you want unity-2d | 03:38 |

| MistuhKurtz | o lol | 03:38 |

| hiipii | So, I'm trying to install 11.04 on one of my pcs. The box doesnt have a cdrom drive hooked up so im doing it via usb. I used the universal usb stick crator tool to create a bootable usb stick, booted into ubuntu just fine installed to the hard drive just fine (so it seems) but when i reboot without the usb stick it can't find a disk to boot from. any ideas? | 03:47 |
| rationalOgre | hiipii: just one hard drive on the system? | 03:47 |
| hiipii | if i boot back into the live usb i can mount the harddrive and it appears to have all the files on it | 03:47 |
| hiipii | ust one hard drive ya | 03:47 |
| rationalOgre | hiipii: is it dedicated to ubuntu, or dual boot? | 03:47 |
| hiipii | dedicated | 03:48 |
| dr_Willis | grub installed to the usb perhaps | 03:48 |

| dijonyummy123 | a lot of pdfs. i have a huge library so its hard to even pick which book and find it, and go back and reopen them. its not good for me to copy them to a folder | 04:04 |

| dijonyummy123 | can foxit save the open tabs and reopen the same set upon the next startup. i use whatever works. creating softlinks is too manual to type in | 04:13 |
| gohdan | dijonyummy123: not sure but, its the only one i am aware of thats native to *nix at the moment which opens multiple docs simultaneously | 04:14 |
| Tekk_ | okay, I installed the firmware for the p54usb wireless card and it picks up the interface and anything, but it can't connect. it tries to for a while then shows that it's been disconnected | 04:15 |
| trism | Tekk_: you upgraded the kernel too? | 04:15 |
| Tekk_ | yep | 04:16 |
| Tekk_ | kernel and both the firmware packages, and the image of course | 04:16 |
| cvd__ | anyone use xchat? | 04:16 |
| gohdan | dijonyummy123: there is a work around if you kde, that stuffs things into tabs of their file manager. remember seeing it on a friends slackware box. forget what its called though. | 04:16 |
| TrentonAdams | hey guys. I have MAILFROM in my mdadm.conf line, and it just keeps sending email from root@hostname | 04:16 |
| TrentonAdams | Any ideas? | 04:16 |
| Tekk_ | trism: all dmesg gets me is wlan0: direct probe to *ip* timed out after 3 tries | 04:17 |
| trism | Tekk_: that makes me think you don't have the new kernel, because that is the bug that was patched (well a side effect of it anyway) | 04:17 |
| trism | Tekk_: what is: uname -a; | 04:17 |
| Tekk_ | trism: oh, hold on | 04:17 |
| Tekk_ | trism: probably need to update grub, right? | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | if I went through just dpkg | 04:18 |
| trism | Tekk_: the triggers should update it, but you can: sudo update-grub; to be sure | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | yeah, looks like it | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | wait | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | no | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | 2.6.38-8 | 04:18 |
| Tekk_ | which seems to match the package I downloaded | 04:19 |
| dijonyummy123 | gohdan: thanks for the help, i'll try foxit and look somemore | 04:19 |
| trism | Tekk_: yeah, sorry, I mentioned later, it isn't on packages.ubuntu.com because it is in proposed, I have a link, one sec | 04:19 |
| gohdan | dijonyummy123: open/libre office may provide this type of functionality too but i dont use them. good luck on your quest. | 04:20 |
| Tekk_ | trism: oh, sorry. I was probably installing linux at the time and it got washed away by the famous #ubuntu flood :P | 04:20 |
| trism | Tekk_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+package/linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic choose i386 or amd64 at the bottom and it will be in the downloadable files on the next page | 04:21 |
| trism | Tekk_: it was my fault for directing you to the wrong place in the first place :) | 04:22 |
| jgpzen | Where is the intel 64bit distrobution of ubuntu? | 04:23 |
| Tekk_ | trism: so I just need the image or does that include a kernel too? | 04:23 |
| Tekk_ | jgpzen: you're looking for amd64 | 04:23 |
| Tekk_ | unless you want itanium | 04:23 |
| jgpzen | Even for intel processor? | 04:23 |
| trism | Tekk_: linux-image packages are the kernels plus the modules | 04:23 |
| Tekk_ | jgpzen: my x64 debian on a core2duo says yes :) | 04:23 |
| jgpzen | Weird that they call it amd when its used for intel | 04:24 |
| Tekk_ | jgpzen: amd came up with the arch | 04:24 |
| gohdan | jgpzen: its amd's instruction set | 04:24 |
| jgpzen | Guess that makes sense | 04:24 |
| Tekk_ | jgpzen: and they called it amd64, intel's 64 bit arch was itanium, which flopped | 04:24 |
| === alexfpms is now known as alexfpms_away | ||
| trism | Tekk_: you may need the headers too if you use nvidia proprietary drivers (or something similar) | 04:24 |
| jgpzen | Gotcha | 04:24 |
| Tekk_ | trism: nope, I'm good there | 04:24 |
| dr_Willis | amd had it out first | 04:24 |
| gohdan | Tekk_: it didnt flop... just kinda fell over | 04:25 |
| sadbear | itanium too expensive | 04:25 |
| dr_Willis | it exploded in a bad way? | 04:25 |

| earthmeLon | rationalOgre, curl can be used to download a single file from multiple locations? Hmmm | 04:36 |
| ilangeeran | please tell me anybody hearing me | 04:36 |
| celthunder | ilangeeran: yes | 04:36 |
| robin0800 | ilangeeran, because there is no upgrade option on the 9.04 live cd | 04:36 |
| ilangeeran | how are you?/ | 04:36 |

| rubenjr | coz_ yes there are | 04:36 |
| rubenjr | coz_ part1 and part 2 | 04:37 |
| coz_ | ilangeeran, in the paste when you popped in a live cd it would ask if you want to upgrade | 04:37 |
| Nautilus | rationalOgre: ok, have that opened, but now I can't find where FF put the download. I should be looking in /home/username/* ? | 04:37 |

| ilangeeran | can i download videos to my computer using rythmbox | 04:40 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | ilangeeran, try miro | 04:41 |
| coz_ | Jon--, open a terminal and tell me the number this command puts out glxinfo -l |grep MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE | 04:41 |

| Jewfro-Macabbi | ilangeeran, "sudo apt-get install miro" | 04:43 |
| coz_ | Jon--, first that command I gave you with the 8192 is a hardware limitation,, that is a large number but it also means that whichever monitor you use it cannot go above that number horizonatally or vertically | 04:43 |
| coz_ | Jon--, rather it cannto go above that resolution in any direction | 04:44 |
| ilangeeran | i cant install any programs using add/remove programs | 04:44 |

| coz_ | ilangeeran, because the version of ubuntu is out of date ,, no longer supported | 04:48 |

| sktn07 | how to download youtube video .any idea? | 04:50 |
| celthunder | mikha: no | 04:50 |
| ilangeeran | i have connected to the internet.i think that the repository that is in my computer is invalid | 04:50 |
| gohdan | sktn07: youtube-dl | 04:50 |
| celthunder | mikha: well unless you're running a massive database or something | 04:50 |
| Nautilus | I've put a utility app in /usr/local/util_name then made a symlink to the executable file as /usr/bin/util_name (because the later should be in the path) but I get an error looking for another path: /usr/bin/env: php: No such file or directory | 04:50 |
| sktn07 | plz in detail | 04:50 |
| celthunder | ilangeeran: what's your sources.list? | 04:50 |
| mikha | celthunder, i made it 6 gb | 04:50 |
| coz_ | mikau, that should be more than fine | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | browser extensions sktn07 | 04:50 |
| sktn07 | firfox | 04:51 |
| mikha | celthunder, will it do anything bad to my system or no ? | 04:51 |
| Jon-- | I am having trouble hooking up a computer monitor using HDMI to my laptop with an ATI video card. Help? | 04:51 |
| coz_ | mikau, one and one half times the memory is swap,, at least in theory | 04:51 |
| ilangeeran | celthunder can i repair it with my 9.04 cd? | 04:51 |
| celthunder | mikha: meh..waste of 5.75GB of space and probably will kill your disk i/o if you ever actually use it (intensively not just for dead apps that want to idle in swap) | 04:51 |
| gohdan | sktn07: youtube-dl -f $format -t youtube.com/foo | 04:51 |
| dr_Willis | go to the ff extension page theres several that handle yputube | 04:51 |
| coz_ | Jon--, where you type here type this /join #radeon | 04:51 |
| afroman | hello. I have upgraded to 11.04 throu update manager but now my graphic is worse. why? | 04:51 |
| celthunder | ilangeeran: ??? what's in your sources.list | 04:51 |
| mikha | coz_, ok i have 3 gb ram how to make my swap file smaller i have swap 6 gb | 04:52 |
| dr_Willis | !info youtube-dl | 04:52 |
| ubottu | youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube. In component universe, is extra. Version 2011.01.30-2 (natty), package size 30 kB, installed size 156 kB | 04:52 |
| celthunder | mikha: did you make a swap file or a swap partition swap file just delete it and dd a new one | 04:52 |
| Jon-- | coz_, I don't think this is a radeon specific problem, it has to do with X and xrandr, I'd rather not waste time. | 04:52 |
| celthunder | well unmount it first | 04:52 |
| coz_ | mikau, that swap isnt overdoing it,, it should be just fine | 04:52 |
| celthunder | coz_: unless he's running a database server it is | 04:52 |
| ilangeeran | it failed connecting to the urls that is used to install programs | 04:52 |
| coz_ | Jon--, but they would have much more experience with configuring this with an ati card | 04:52 |
| coz_ | celthunder, right | 04:53 |
| gohdan | you'll have to'sudo youtube-dl -U' to update it to the newest version though | 04:53 |
| Honoo | afroman: what is your hardware specs? such as, what graphics does your computer have? | 04:53 |
| celthunder | ilangeeran: answer the question asked or don't bother repeating yourself | 04:53 |
| celthunder | coz_: so it's overdoing it | 04:53 |
| mikha | celthunder, in the first i made a swap partition of 1 gb then in google they suggest 1.5 the rams so i made a swap file | 04:53 |
| gohdan | might have to fire that cmd off twice to get it to work | 04:53 |
| coz_ | celthunder, it may be onver doing,, but not damaging to my knowledge ...yes? | 04:53 |
| celthunder | mikha: yeah theres some times google's just....wrong | 04:53 |
| ilangeeran | i dont understand your question | 04:53 |
| sktn07 | is there any software like idm in windows? | 04:54 |
| dr_Willis | you can delete swap files . no harm. | 04:54 |
| celthunder | coz_: i answered that ...waste of 5.85 gb or so of space and if he uses it (not just for stopped apps that want memoery but like intensively) he'll kill his disk i/o but otherwise no | 04:54 |
| dr_Willis | sktn07: and idm is? | 04:54 |
| Honoo | Internet Download Manager? | 04:54 |
| mikha | celthunder, how to delete my swap file and if i have 3gb ram will 1gb swap file be good even tho ( when i put my system in hibernate it say not swap size ) | 04:54 |

| gohdan | celthunder: "Building XImage...done" still all weird but, lxsession is finicky sometimes so let me log in and out | 05:06 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, My monitor goes from check signal cable to black screen when it is plugged in, suggesting that there is a connection, yes. | 05:06 |
| ahrimen | actually i just selected the numbered version and hit activate. I then restarted the machine. So no I did not uninstall the previous verion | 05:06 |
| coz_ | sktn07, you can use unetbootin | 05:06 |
| coz_ | sktn07, it is not command line althought there may be a cli part to it | 05:06 |
| celthunder | Jon--: check signal cable means no connection if it's flickering between that and black theres a problem | 05:06 |
| Jon-- | It's not | 05:07 |
| celthunder | Jon--: did you try hitting the fn + monitor key or is this a desktop | 05:07 |
| Jon-- | It goes from check cable to just a black screen when you plug it in | 05:07 |
| Jon-- | Remains black until you unplug cable. | 05:07 |
| celthunder | ok | 05:07 |
| celthunder | yeah does your audio see it? | 05:07 |
| coz_ | is there a bios setting for hdmi ? | 05:07 |
| jiohdi | sktn07, in gparted you set the flag on it to boot | 05:08 |
| celthunder | coz_: theres bios settings for hdmi...cool | 05:08 |
| djmaster | coz, no | 05:08 |
| gohdan | celthunder: its a no go. still gdm. | 05:08 |
| coz_ | ok I dont have have a laptop to try for hdmi,, was just checking | 05:08 |
| Jon-- | coz_, I am not sure. | 05:08 |
| celthunder | gohdan: hmm ok what terminal app were you using again? | 05:08 |

| Darkenvy | how do I check my free disk space? terminal | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | im on a VPS | 05:09 |
| Jon-- | coz_, Should I attempt a reboot and check? | 05:09 |
| gohdan | celthunder: gnome-terminal and the lxterminal that ships with lxde | 05:09 |
| coz_ | Darkenvy, df -h | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | thanks | 05:09 |
| celthunder | Darkenvy: df | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | what is df? | 05:09 |
| Irish` | disk free | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | I feel if I knoww hat it is I will remember | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | thaks | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | -h flag? | 05:09 |
| coz_ | Jon--, well I would stick with celthunder for this,, I was just suggesting a possible bios setting | 05:09 |
| Irish` | human readable | 05:09 |
| Darkenvy | ah | 05:10 |
| coz_ | Darkenvy, the -h will make it easier to understand | 05:10 |
| Darkenvy | cool | 05:10 |

| teddyroosebelt | is it possible to use the same hd im ghosting with clonezilla to store the .img/iso file on? i just need to store the iso/img file and then ill burn it, but i don't have an external drive | 05:11 |
| oYseDnV | Yer same here. | 05:11 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, My audio does not seem to see the HDMI either. Though I just checked through GUI. There is definitely a consistent signal [check signal cable goes away and stays away] | 05:11 |
| coz_ | ahrimen, I would uninstall the nvidia drivers and reboot,, then install the one you want to use | 05:11 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, I have a Windows dual boot if you wanted mt to test the monitor in Windows. | 05:12 |
| afroman | since I installed 11.04, my graphic isn't working at 100%, what's wrong? | 05:12 |
| oYseDnV | Hey umm, what can I do with ''cannot find ''MSVCP60.dll'' Please, re-install this application''??? | 05:12 |
| coz_ | afroman, what is "not working at 100%" mean,, its slower,, what | 05:12 |
| ahrimen | ok, thanks | 05:12 |
| afroman | coz_: slower | 05:12 |
| coz_ | afroman, is compiz enabled,, rather are you using Unity? | 05:12 |
| josephoenix | Okay... well I just tried to disable a service using update-rc.d | 05:13 |
| celthunder | Jon--: is this a laptop? | 05:13 |
| josephoenix | and saw "Do NOT use update-rc.d for this purpose in the docs" | 05:13 |
| josephoenix | What should I do? | 05:13 |
| coz_ | afroman, is this 11.04 Unity ? | 05:13 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, yeah | 05:13 |
| afroman | coz_: glx_gears gives me a low number, plus images tends to skip frames when in use of 2-3 progs | 05:14 |
| afroman | coz_: Unity 2d | 05:14 |
| coz_ | afroman, ah | 05:14 |
| daurnimator | how does ubuntu detect my sim card slot? | 05:14 |
| coz_ | afroman, w hich video card do you have? | 05:14 |
| daurnimator | ==> I think its not | 05:14 |
| josephoenix | oh, never mind | 05:15 |
| afroman | coz_: ati radeon mobility hd 3470 | 05:15 |
| coz_ | afroman, ah ok,, I am a complete dunce with ati problems,, I hand you over to someone who knows more than I do | 05:15 |
| afroman | coz_: who would that be? | 05:16 |
| histo | daurnimator: lsusb see if the card reader is listed | 05:16 |
| Jon-- | josephoenix, Ubuntu prefers the use of 'service'. Man it. | 05:16 |
| daurnimator | histo: it appears not to be | 05:17 |
| josephoenix | Jon--: 'k | 05:17 |
| histo | daurnimator: also check lspci | 05:17 |
| coz_ | afroman, not sure who is more experience with ati here,, so just hand out and ask again | 05:17 |
| Jon-- | Unless I misread your question | 05:17 |
| Jon-- | Which is possible | 05:17 |
| josephoenix | Jon--: no, I just don't know how I'm supposed to enable and disable services on this server | 05:17 |
| histo | josephoenix: stop servicename | 05:17 |
| Jon-- | josephoenix, sudo service servicename stop/start/restart | 05:18 |
| histo | josephoenix: start servicename | 05:18 |
| daurnimator | histo: pretty much everything is intel in lspci; not intel is vga card, wireless(wlan) and soundcaard | 05:18 |
| daurnimator | (ps, my touchapd also doens't work) | 05:18 |
| josephoenix | histo, Jon--: that will persist after reboot? | 05:18 |
| histo | daurnimator: you have a sim card reader? how does it connect to the machine? | 05:18 |
| === NoWayJose is now known as Guest57252 | ||
| daurnimator | histo: its a laptop, theres a sim card slot in the back of it | 05:18 |
| === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue | ||
| Jon-- | josephoenix, nah, service works like /etc/init.d/ | 05:18 |
| histo | Jon--: in that case he would use update-rc.d to controll what service at what runlevel | 05:19 |
| afroman | Jon--: thx for the assist | 05:19 |
| histo | daurnimator: ohh for what a cell modem inside? | 05:19 |
| oYseDnV | Heyyyy, what can I do with ''cannot find 'MSVCP60.dll' Please, re-install this application''??? | 05:19 |
| oYseDnV | o.o | 05:19 |
| Jon-- | josephoenix, There's a warning in the man page to not use it? Sorry, I don't know what is prefered. It's probably a wrapper like service | 05:20 |
| daurnimator | histo: yeah.... I just bought a 3G modem for it; put it inside; the 3G modem comes up in lsusb; but I dont' think its found teh sim | 05:20 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, any ideas? | 05:20 |
| daurnimator | (and hence can't use the modem) | 05:20 |
| afroman | anybody help with ATI troubles? | 05:20 |
| josephoenix | Jon--: the warning was in the wiki documentation, and was actually under an older section.. but the rest of the page wasn't any more informative | 05:20 |
| histo | josephoenix: hold up one sec let me read some stuff | 05:20 |
| histo | daurnimator: did you try configuring it with network-manager? | 05:21 |
| celthunder | Jon--: fn + monitor keys switch 2-3 times and each time check xrandr/pulse/catalyst for the hdmi | 05:21 |
| * gohdan gnome sweet gnome | 05:21 | |
| josephoenix | On an unrelated note, anyone know if I can ignore just join/part lines in a channel with irssi? | 05:21 |
| daurnimator | histo: yeah... it found it; but it wouldn't connect | 05:21 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: yeah you can | 05:21 |
| josephoenix | Is it /ignore #ubuntu JOINS? | 05:22 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: google ofr it to find the exact command i just started using weechat instead...has a smartfilter i like better | 05:22 |
| hexacode | can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address | 05:22 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: don't remember | 05:22 |
| josephoenix | k | 05:22 |
| trism | josephoenix: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS (and possibly QUITS NICKS as well) | 05:22 |
| afroman | since I installed 11.04, my graphic is slow, what's wrong? | 05:22 |
| josephoenix | Ah, thanks trism | 05:22 |
| histo | josephoenix: sudo update-rc.d servicename stop 2 3 4 5 or what ever runlevels you want | 05:23 |
| josephoenix | That'll make this channel a little easier to read xD | 05:23 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, I have a button that may control monitors, I've never used it. I hit it three times and checked xrandr, catalyst, and pulse from GUI all three times. There is no change in output(s). | 05:23 |
| hexacode | can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that | 05:23 |
| josephoenix | histo: okay, so 'stop' is the level to disable the service? | 05:23 |
| celthunder | Jon--: you have to push fn key when pushing it (it's a function key right like f6 ) | 05:23 |
| histo | josephoenix: the levels control which runlevels you want to disable it on 1-6 | 05:23 |
| josephoenix | ahh, got it | 05:24 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, Yes. :P. I did so. It looks like an emptyrectangle|filledrectangle | 05:24 |
| histo | josephoenix: mostlike 2-5 | 05:24 |
| histo | josephoenix: sorry most likely | 05:24 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, The other key just seems to turn my monitor off. The other function keys seem unrelated | 05:24 |
| josephoenix | is there a way to list what runlevels it's on? or should I just ls /etc/rc*... | 05:24 |
| coz_ | afroman, the only think I can think of is to disable sync to vblank,, I know this speeds things up with nvidia and a also ati from a few articles I just read | 05:25 |
| coz_ | afroman, not sure how to do that with ati | 05:25 |
| hexacode | can someone tell me why i have 2 different mac addresses for my router? airodump gives me one mac address that my nic is associated with, i assume this is the wireless router im connected to...however, the sbin utlity "arp" gives me a different HWaddress for my default gateway's ip address. what is up with that | 05:26 |
| josephoenix | histo: okay, it looks like there are links for apache2 in rc0, rc1 and rc6.. should I remove those? | 05:27 |
| afroman | coz_: I'll check on ccc, but still the question remains why it would work fine on 10.10 then slow on 11.04 ? | 05:27 |
| celthunder | hexacode: is your default gateway an ethernet? | 05:27 |
| rypervenche | Tristam: That didn't work for me on weechat :( | 05:28 |

| kdog | hexacode: my arp shows one mac for my laptop nic and one mac for the AP | 05:28 |
| hexacode | celthunder ...the mac that the arp utility is giving me doesnt match my wireles nic or my wired nic | 05:29 |
| Guest63521 | Unable to install Ubuntu on a DG45ID board from intel. The disks won't mount during install, however, they do mount from the live session. Whats up? | 05:29 |
| histo | josephoenix: 0 is for shutdown phase 1 is for recovery console and 6 is for reboot | 05:29 |
| histo | josephoenix: so if you want. That's the only time it would get called is shutdown reboot or recovery | 05:29 |
| josephoenix | histo: right, I'm thinking I don't need a web server that starts on shutdown... | 05:30 |
| afroman | coz_: could it be a clash between a prog that was running on 10.10 and the driver on 11.04 or something like that? | 05:30 |

| * gohdan glad i made a list of files pulled in prior to installing lxde as i just had to purge them all by hand. weird. | 05:31 | |
| coz_ | afroman, i dont think it would be from any application, you said this was overall systemically..yes? not just with a specific application | 05:31 |
| coz_ | whoa i didnt mean "overall" systemically...talk about redundant | 05:32 |
| ilangeeran | where can i download videos that could be able to play in totem movie player | 05:33 |
| afroman | coz_: I have another prob that I think might be related. I can't listen to 2 sounds simultaneously | 05:33 |
| josephoenix | histo: something else that confused me is that mysql was installed and presumably added to startup, but I don't see links in the rc folders... | 05:33 |
| coz_ | ilangeeran, do you have all of the codecs in stalled? | 05:34 |
| ilangeeran | no | 05:34 |
| coz_ | ilangeeran, most videos ,,"most" should play in totem | 05:34 |

| gohdan | ilangeeran: totem is evil. repent now and join the cult of vlc | 05:34 |
| coz_ | ilangeeran, you may want to first install ubuntu restrected-extras | 05:34 |
| Jon-- | celthunder, I had to reboot with the chord plugged in from the start, it worked. | 05:34 |
| coz_ | ilangeeran, is this 64 or 32 bit/ | 05:34 |
| rypervenche | gohdan: If you've got up-to-date codecs then VLC can be a burden. Just look at VLC+theora. | 05:35 |
| owen1 | is there an app that record a video when there is movment around? | 05:35 |
| ilangeeran | tell me the site where to download that restricted extras | 05:35 |

| theadmin | sudeep: chroot is a way to get to a Linux system's terminal on another hard drive/partition than the current one, basically | 06:09 |
| celthunder | lets start with getting into a chroot yes | 06:09 |
| celthunder | pishguy: exec | 06:10 |
| pishguy | celthunder: exec gksu ... ??? | 06:10 |
| theadmin | pishguy: Normally there's no need for the exec, just type commands as you normally would | 06:10 |
| celthunder | pishguy: you can just run gksu for that... | 06:11 |
| celthunder | pishguy: exec is good for cleaning up if you have a mem leak or something though | 06:12 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:12 |

| JoFo | Hello everybody | 06:15 |
| JoFo | I'm looking for a program such as Freecorder (http://applian.com/freecorder4/) for Linux. Do you know one? | 06:15 |
| Jasman | my modem problem. sierra 305.. it's logs http://www.ihsana.com/jasman/log.txt.. I think this is the wrong port. but I dont know path config NetworkManager and modem-manager.. | 06:16 |
| theadmin | JoFo: You could use an online alternative of some sort. THere is youtube-dl, but that's the closest you'd get to | 06:16 |
| pishguy | celthunder: gksu sep_video don't getting password :( | 06:16 |
| Cheri703 | if I type "sudo apt-get install chromium" it defaults to some game "chromium-bsu" wouldn't it make more sense to default it to the browser? is that something I can file a bug about? | 06:17 |
| josephoenix | Hmm.. looks like my user account was created in a weird way. Anyone know why bash wouldn't read .bashrc on login? | 06:17 |
| theadmin | Cheri703: No, it's not a bug, it's normal -- chromium is in chromium-browser | 06:17 |
| Cheri703 | yes, but chromium-bsu is chromium-bsu, not chromium | 06:17 |
| gohdan | Cheri703: that problem has been solved by naming it $-bsu. which is the work around implemented | 06:17 |
| Cheri703 | but it still did it... | 06:18 |
| Cheri703 | *shrug* was just wondering, because I wasn't expecting to get some random game instead of the browser. | 06:18 |
| JoFo | theadmin: The audio streaming I want to download is not on Youtube. | 06:18 |
| celthunder | Cheri703: search before installing if you don't know the package name | 06:19 |
| rww | Cheri703: the random game was using that package name first, hence the oddness. | 06:19 |
| gohdan | Cheri703: the game was in the debian repo before the browser | 06:19 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, I can do that celthunder, didn't know that I didn't know the package name though | 06:19 |
| Lasivian | Anyone know a channel for shell script help? thanks | 06:19 |
| Cheri703 | rww, gohdan, that makes sense...just...annoying | 06:19 |
| gohdan | Lasivian: #$your favorite sh here????? | 06:20 |
| josephoenix | xD wow. I just found out that the guy I took over from made my account by editing /etc/passwd by HAND | 06:20 |
| Lasivian | gohdan: I really I wish I understood that, pardon my lack of knowledge | 06:21 |
| rww | Cheri703: Yup. Debian switched chromium to point to the browser in sid, but Ubuntu doesn't use Debian's chromium browser packaging iirc, so it's currently not a package at all in oneiric. | 06:21 |
| theadmin | josephoenix: How did you find that out? | 06:21 |
| gohdan | Lasivian: #bash #zsh etc | 06:21 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: what's wrong with that? | 06:21 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: no .profile, groups aren't set right | 06:22 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: i've mad euser accounts by editting /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group | 06:22 |
| Lasivian | gohdan: ahh haa, I had no idea all shell script was not the same. Thank you | 06:22 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: cp /etc/skel /home/<usershome> | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | JoFo, for just "audio" you can do some fancy things with Pulse Audio to record ANY output - there are a couple YouTube Tutorials, as well as written ones. pavucontrol might be a starting search term. | 06:22 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: well, he didn't do that.. and my home directory was world-readable.. | 06:23 |
| celthunder | ZykoticK9: pavucontrol doesn't record anything it's just a mixer...far as i know | 06:23 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: point of the story is that, while that is possible, it is not recommended, because most people do it wrong | 06:23 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: lol chmod it | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, it is - but that might result in some relevant documentation | 06:23 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: most people are idiots..we knew that to begin with...including you and me most likely | 06:23 |
| gohdan | Lasivian: be aware that ubuntu defaults to debian's dash shell, not bash | 06:23 |
| Lasivian | gohdan: ahh haa, very useful info, thank you very much | 06:24 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: which is why most people should use adduser most of the time... :D | 06:25 |
| JoFo | Thanks. I'll try that. | 06:25 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: i'd rather use useradd than adduser 9/10 times | 06:26 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: but that's more a personal preference than any real reasoning | 06:27 |
| josephoenix | Hmm, why? All I know about useradd is that the wiki docs say not to use it | 06:27 |
| celthunder | does it? i prefer useradd cause i can throw the entire command on one line | 06:27 |
| celthunder | i don't need 40 retarded prompts to make one user when i can do it with 1 | 06:28 |

| boomboorum | Hi guys. I chown'ed my /usr/ and now get "sudo: must be setuid root | 06:28 |
| boomboorum | " | 06:28 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | so, i need a 32 bit version of python to run a script, but being that I'm running 64bit, I can't find the 32bit .deb in the repos via the swc. (I also need a 32bit version of Blender to go with the script). Is there a way to make the SWC show 32 bit debs or an easy way to find them manually from the repos via google or something? | 06:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, useradd is certainly more script friendly - but other then that I see NO reason to use it - have to run passwd for everything after generating the user, wher adduser does it in 1 step | 06:29 |
| Acid190 | Anyone here use the Asus Usb-N13 card? | 06:29 |
| rww | boomboorum: chowning /usr/ was not a good idea. congratulations on hosing your system. | 06:29 |
| boomboorum | rww: Can I do something about it now | 06:29 |
| Lasivian | rww: oh, cut him some slack, at least he's breaking Linux not Windows ;) | 06:29 |
| josephoenix | boomboorum: livecd? | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | boomboorum, did you do it recursively? with a "..-r..." option? | 06:29 |
| rww | boomboorum: My solution would be "grab a LiveCD and reinstall", personally. | 06:30 |
| casey_ | Hi there. Does anyone know how to install unexucatable .exe files when running a cd with WINE? I am trying to install Phoshop CS (8.0) since I have an actual serial number. | 06:30 |
| celthunder | ZykoticK9: useradd 2 lines adduser is like 30 it asks a bunch of useless shit like home/phone numbers/etc | 06:30 |
| celthunder | or at least it did the last time i used it | 06:30 |
| boomboorum | ZykoticK9: yes | 06:30 |
| gohdan | can i get nautilus to let me manually type the dir from the gui or do i have to 'nautilus /dir/foo/bar' at the shell? | 06:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, i suppose. i think many people find it A LOT easer. | 06:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | boomboorum, if you did -r then user rww's suggestion. Reinstall. sorry. | 06:30 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: since you seem better versed in this than I am, what would you use to add an admin user to an ubuntu server? | 06:31 |
| celthunder | ZykoticK9: i also said that was mostly a preference for me....i have wierd preferences | 06:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, it's certainly not the most user friendly suggestion for this channel. i understand your preference obviously. | 06:31 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: use wheel | 06:31 |
| Lasivian | boomboorum: Look at the bright side, you didn;t destroy whatever data you might want to backup | 06:32 |
| josephoenix | celthunder: that's a util? I thought it was a group name, and ubuntu seems to use 'admin' instead | 06:32 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: wheel is a group yes and a user account it's disabled by default but it's pretty much the alternate of a root account | 06:33 |
| celthunder | josephoenix: there is really only ONE admin account...and that's root...you can make another root username just make the uid 0 but...i wouldn't do that | 06:34 |
| === ezl-away is now known as ezl | ||
| celthunder | josephoenix: wheel is the next best to root which is the only REAL admin account.....beyond that...explain more what you're user is going to be doing | 06:35 |

| rww | gohdan: no. both maverick and natty imported whatever was in Debian sid at the start of their cycle. | 07:37 |
| celthunder | pishguy: ok i could be wrong here but judging from your lack of knowledge on even the simplest task and willing to google which variable it is....you don't NEED and SHOULD NOT be building your own kernel much less distro | 07:37 |
| bstr8up | whats the best securtiy program for ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| theadmin | zykes-: Copy some huge files over? ;) | 07:37 |

| theadmin | bstr8up: What kind of security? | 07:37 |
| gohdan | bstr8up: common sense 2011 | 07:37 |
| bstr8up | like anti-virus? | 07:37 |
| theadmin | gohdan: lol | 07:37 |
| celthunder | bstr8up: what gohdan said...use common sense | 07:38 |
| theadmin | bstr8up: We don't need any | 07:38 |

| pishguy | celthunder: i'm trying search from google . but i cant find how to change it | 07:38 |
| oYseDnV | I typed "sudo apt-get install irssi" in terminal, and it seems installed to me now, but nothing comes out when I type in " $ irssi" | 07:38 |
| bstr8up | kai, didnt know mangs. cheese. | 07:38 |
| theadmin | oYseDnV: Nothing comes out? | 07:38 |
| celthunder | pishguy: then like i said you don't need your own DISTRO much less KERNEL.... | 07:38 |
| gohdan | bstr8up: just practice safe hex and you should be all right | 07:39 |
| celthunder | pishguy: and it's in the first 3 results i just checked | 07:39 |
| oYseDnV | Umm, it says '' $: command not found '' if that counts. | 07:39 |
| * gohdan guess he left | 07:39 | |
| theadmin | oYseDnV: Just type "irssi", without a dollar sign | 07:39 |
| celthunder | gohdan: i want a hex | 07:39 |
| oYseDnV | Oh. | 07:39 |
| pishguy | celthunder: whats first 3 results ? | 07:39 |
| oYseDnV | O wow, it works! | 07:39 |
| oYseDnV | xD | 07:40 |
| * gohdan puts a hex on celthunder | 07:40 | |
| celthunder | pishguy: what're you making your own distro for? | 07:40 |
| pishguy | celthunder: patch and installing any driver | 07:41 |
| celthunder | pishguy: did you really think this through...also considerng you're asking in #ubuntu..ubuntu is NOT a good distro to start building a distro from....at least imho you're better off using debian or something else | 07:41 |
| theadmin | celthunder: arch | 07:41 |
| theadmin | celthunder: There's no better base | 07:42 |
| celthunder | theadmin: i love arch and use it...but i'd use lfs/slackware as my base :) | 07:42 |
| [an]droidman | opensuse, fedora. heck, just hack into apples computers and steal their source | 07:42 |
| rypervenche | Arch is very nice. | 07:42 |

If I try to launch the app from *outside* (i.e. through a menu), it complains that the particular terminal doesn't have 256 colour support. Any ideas? | 08:10 |

| nikolam | whytehorse, use mdadm to set up linux software RAID. Most controllers on boards that claim "RAID" are actually fake raid and request windows drivers to work with, so basically the same thing like md* devices in linux software RAID | 09:28 |

| whytehorse | do I need to reboot the server or can I do it online? | 09:31 |
| Hordeking | Question: I've noticed that saving a non-default resolution in the xorg.conf file doesn't seem to be reflected upon reboot. Where is the default Ubuntu login manager and subsequent server resolution coming from? I'm trying to force a resolution of 1680x1050 as opposed to an automatic 1920x1080, which causes odd trouble on the screen. | 09:31 |
| nikolam | whytehorse, well, regular raid should have utility for its own for making raid levels. and then represent to any OS disk(s) representing RAID. See card documentation. | 09:31 |
| Hordeking | wildbat: Should be possible. I'm formatting a USB drive with it right now. | 09:32 |
| whytehorse | I followed the card documentation and added the disk as raid0 and initialized it... wtf? | 09:32 |

| nikolam | whytehorse, I might just also add. (and this is blasphemy ;) consider ZFS | 09:34 |

| novitololo | I installed Ubuntu 11.04 in a Dell XPS 15, and it seems I've two graphic cards. How do I know which one is using Ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| hemika | koshie_, okay thanks anyway. | 09:37 |
| Wisien | hi | 09:37 |
| Hordeking | novitololo: I think a better question to ask would be "How do I know which one Ubuntu is using?" | 09:37 |

| theadmin | novitololo: Do "lspci -v", I think | 09:38 |

| theadmin | Wisien: kdenlive | 09:38 |
| novitololo | Hordeking: that's right. I'm not an english speaker. | 09:38 |
| Hordeking | novitololo: Have you considered plugging only one monitor in at a time and seeing which card it's plugged into? | 09:38 |
| Wisien | kdenlive? | 09:38 |
| Sterist | how do i unmount a folder from /media? | 09:38 |
| novitololo | It's a laptop Hordeking | 09:38 |
| theadmin | Wisien: It's a video editing software, quite a good one | 09:38 |
| Wisien | theadmin:like pinnacle under windows? | 09:39 |
| theadmin | Wisien: I never used that | 09:39 |
| Hordeking | novitololo: That's a little beyond me, then. Chances are you have the adapter for the laptop screen, and one for the RGB | 09:39 |
| novitololo | Ok. | 09:40 |
| theadmin | Wisien: Check this list: http://alternativeto.net/software/pinnacle-studio/?platform=linux | 09:40 |
| novitololo | but there is no way to check which one is actually using Ubuntu right now, with my laptop screen? | 09:40 |
| Hordeking | Actually, are more recent editions of Ubuntu better about letting me switch from laptop internal to RGB? The one I have installed is a little out of date, but I have to reset the machine with a monitor plugged in and turned on in order to ever get the "RGB" mode. | 09:41 |

| m_fulder | ok this is just weird. .. I can send mails via my own SMTP postfix server which uses an external one .. but I can't send mail through PHPs mail function .. what can be wrong? I've set the sendmail_path in php.ini to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i | 09:42 |
| m_fulder | can send = while using telnet | 09:42 |
| th^^ | Wisien: i've used pitivi for some simple stuff like doing game frag movies, does the job | 09:43 |
| Hordeking | wildbat: mount has options, I know that. Check the man page. You should be able to mount as a specific user that way | 09:44 |
| wildbat | Hordeking: not for ext4 :< | 09:46 |
| theadmin | m_fulder: Shouldn't sendmail be in /usr/bin? | 09:46 |
| llutz | wildbat: ext4 is a unix-fs, you don't use mount-options for permissions,you use chown/chmod | 09:46 |
| Hordeking | wildbat: There's a setting in udev somewhere, that's probably doing that. | 09:47 |
| === th0r is now known as Guest18202 | ||
| Hordeking | llutz: I don't think you can just chown a mount point owned by root | 09:47 |

| thatbennyguy | I get 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address' when setting up ip alias | 09:51 |
| llutz | wildbat: seems udev handles stuff different. problem with removable hdds and unix-fs is, that on all machines you're going to use it, the UIDs/GIDs have to be the same | 09:51 |

| theadmin | FireStorms: Also I'd use good old tar, not some weird program | 12:11 |
| systemclient | FireStorms: since there are settings for your programs and so on | 12:11 |
| FireStorms | What I don't understand mainly is what hidden files in the home folder are critical and which are not | 12:11 |
| theadmin | FireStorms: All of them are pretty important, but all of them can get recreated, none are "critical" | 12:11 |

| ASKidwai | I've used void in loads of programs | 12:28 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: And you were doing it wrong | 12:28 |
| ASKidwai | windows, Turbo C++ | 12:28 |
| james23 | systemclient: maybe? | 12:28 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: Against the rules. | 12:28 |
| ASKidwai | systemclient, no | 12:28 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: Some compilers may allow it, but not g++ | 12:28 |
| ASKidwai | C++ has no .h | 12:28 |
| james23 | systemclient: the program is QQ a chat client, it's an old version of it, made for an old ubuntu, and every time it is minimized it's completely gone | 12:29 |
| Wonka_ | Turbo c++? I was thinking that turbo c was dead | 12:29 |
| systemclient | james23: I do not know too much of unity, but I would not know where to look when not in the dock | 12:29 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: And what's wrong with XCHat? | 12:29 |
| james23 | systemclient: but the process is still running, and I have to kill it to restart | 12:29 |
| systemclient | ASKidwai: explains a lot | 12:29 |
| ASKidwai | it just dies randomly | 12:29 |
| systemclient | james23: maybe you can just restart it to bring it back up | 12:29 |
| ASKidwai | on 11.04 | 12:29 |
| ASKidwai | it's XChat GNOME IRC Chat | 12:30 |
| OOPSie | helloooo, how does one see what the device names are please? | 12:30 |
| ASKidwai | not the real Xchat | 12:30 |
| pishguy | hi all. how to change gdm theme like with mint ??? | 12:30 |
| ASKidwai | it just says Remote Host Closed Server | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | james23, if its mimimizing to the 'systemtray' like some apps do - the default systetray in unity dosetn allow just anything to appear there any more | 12:30 |
| james23 | systemclient: well, since it's a chat program, that's not really ok, I don't know if I missed messages or whatnot | 12:30 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: Remove the "xchat-gnome" package and install the "xchat" one | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | james23, you could whitelist it and allow it to appear in the systray. | 12:30 |
| james23 | dr_willis: how can I get around this? | 12:30 |
| james23 | dr_willis: awesome! | 12:31 |
| ASKidwai | k | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | i wonder if one of the 'system tray' applications like for windowmaker would let them all show there. | 12:31 |
| OOPSie | what is comamnd for device/drive list so I can find out the sd?? or dh??.. | 12:31 |
| KevinBombino | hey ... not sure if this is the best channel for this question. I created a Ubuntu Live USB stick with persistence, which works great ... until I reboot. Then the USB stick doesn't boot at all. Anyone heard of this? | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | james23, IF its actually mimimizing to the systray that is. :) ive seen many chat apps taht do that. | 12:31 |
| theadmin | OOPSie: Look at the output of "mount" and see it in the list | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, it works once then fails after that? | 12:31 |
| OOPSie | theadmin: I tried that, its useless on the liveCD | 12:31 |
| KevinBombino | dr_willis: yes | 12:32 |
| theadmin | OOPSie: Well you can open up gparted | 12:32 |
| theadmin | OOPSie: And see around | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, did you try a 'sudo apt-get update/upgrade' on it then it failed? | 12:32 |
| ASKidwai | does installing X Chat solve the problem? | 12:32 |
| OOPSie | theadmin: great idea :) | 12:32 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: Kinda yes | 12:32 |
| KevinBombino | it fails even if I do nothing other than just 'sudo reboot' immediately after it starts up | 12:32 |
| pishguy | theadmin: hi . how to change gdm theme like with mint ??? | 12:32 |
| Wonka_ | 'system tray' on Linux | 12:32 |
| theadmin | pishguy: I can't help with that, don't ask me | 12:32 |
| ASKidwai | theadmin, thanks | 12:32 |
| KevinBombino | ... then I have to go make it again from my other PC | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, that is weird. - i alwasy do a full normal install to my 8+GB flash drives. easier then messing with the persisnt save stuff. | 12:33 |
| theadmin | Why does everyone ask me questions as if I know everything? :/ | 12:33 |
| fredl | hi, I want to create an archive of some images with file-roller but when adding an image I can't see a picture thumbnail, is there any way to do that? | 12:33 |
| ASKidwai | cuz you should | 12:33 |
| fredl | if you're an admin you know stuff. | 12:33 |
| fredl | ;) | 12:33 |
| KevinBombino | dr_willis: does that still allow hardware detection at boot the way that a Live CD does? | 12:33 |
| fredl | theadmin, hi, I want to create an archive of some images with file-roller but when adding an image I can't see a picture thumbnail, is there any way to do that? | 12:33 |
| theadmin | fredl: True, but not all stuff | 12:33 |
| fredl | :)) | 12:33 |
| theadmin | fredl: lol there they go again | 12:33 |
| KevinBombino | the point of this USB stick is to work in all sorts of random computers | 12:33 |
| theadmin | fredl: I dunno | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, its identical to how you would install to a normal sata/internal hard drive. | 12:33 |
| fredl | I know, just kidding :) | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, so it does detect for the m ost part.. but installing the nvidia or ati drivers then moving it to a differnt box can cause issues | 12:34 |
| KevinBombino | well interestingly enough this particular use case will only be used in boxes with ATI cards | 12:34 |
| KevinBombino | so if that's the only hangup, then should be fine | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, unless the differnt cards need differnt drivers | 12:35 |
| KevinBombino | ah, I see what you're sayin | 12:35 |
| KevinBombino | ... and this would be very possible | 12:35 |
| ASKidwai | LibreOffice has this habit of opening my stuff in other workspaces | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | KevinBombino, getting the persistant/live setup working with the propiarity drivers (ati or nvidia) can be problematic | 12:35 |
| peto_ | hi...I would like to not show the app and folder icon at the bottom of the Unity launcher. | 12:36 |
| peto_ | Is this possible without having to recompile anything? :P | 12:36 |
| KevinBombino | ok, so then is there an easy way to do a full install to the USB stick from my other computer? | 12:36 |
| KevinBombino | just run the install cd in VirtualBox and point the installation at the USB stick? | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | peto_, its possible. ive seen some sites that detail tweaking the unity launcher. saw some docs a few weeks back on the webupd8 site. | 12:36 |
| zykes- | http://paste.ubuntu.com/627258/ < anyone got a clue on why partitioning aint working here ? | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | peto_, ive also seen/heard of some unofficial/unsupported unity tweaking tools/front ends. | 12:37 |
| ASKidwai | LibreOffice has this habit of opening my stuff in other workspaces | 12:37 |
| theadmin | ASKidwai: really? Never did that for me. Guess Ubuntu guys broke something, file a bug | 12:37 |
| ASKidwai | theadmin, OK | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | search the bug reports and see if others report the same issue first :) | 12:38 |
| peto_ | dr_willis: thx :) I will look :) | 12:39 |

| OOPSie | i tried to mount a device, but it responds with "not a block device" is this an error? | 12:42 |
| theadmin | OOPSie: You're mounting it wrongly then | 12:43 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: what device? | 12:43 |
| Coffe | Hello , is trying to create a custom profile to use with auth-client-config , as i need the value of sudoers: in it, but i have changed some parts of the profile, but it seems like it cant handle the sudoers: part, anyone worked with this ? | 12:43 |
| OOPSie | theadmin: i am trying to mount /media/mydevice /mnt/myroot | 12:44 |

| llutz_ | OOPSie: /media/something isnt a device | 12:44 |

| carandraug | Hi everyone! I have a laptop that for some reason simply doesn't turn on. When I press the button to turn on, the LED of 'on does turn on but as soon as I release it, the light goes off. Even I keep pressing the button nothing seems to happen. I tried connect the laptop to another monitor in case it was just the monitor that broke. I know it's not Ubuntu related but I thought someone could give me an idea of what could be wrong with it. | 12:45 |
| theadmin | carandraug: You'd better seek help in ##hardware | 12:46 |
| Wonka_ | what is the standard C channel? | 12:46 |
| llutz_ | ##c | 12:46 |
| carandraug | theadmin, ok. Thank you. I was never there, didn't knew there was a channel for that. I just turned to my favourite community for help | 12:46 |
| sagi_ | hey, right now for no reason a folder was deleted in this OS. | 12:46 |
| OOPSie | mount: mount point /media/2c568980-b9c9-4ac9-91f4-f6ca9956e3f8/proc does not exist | 12:47 |
| Wonka_ | doesnot work | 12:47 |
| sagi_ | Cant find it in trash and I am really pissed off cause it contained all my research work. Help ! | 12:47 |
| sagi_ | :-| | 12:47 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: what are you triying to do? | 12:47 |
| mastertheknife | I installed Ubuntu 11.04 into a VM, but everytime i login, i get the gnome interface and after few seconds, the interface turns into ugly gray, reminding me of windows... whats wrong? | 12:47 |
| OOPSie | oh just run through a rescue tutorial llutz_ for getting kernels back inline | 12:47 |
| Wonka_ | your research work? | 12:47 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: a mountpoint is just a dir, create it if it doesn't exist | 12:48 |
| yalue | mastertheknife : what vm are you using? On what host? | 12:48 |
| sagi_ | Wonka_, yes..tell me how can I recover that folder ? | 12:48 |
| OOPSie | llutz_: but shouldnt proc already be in the previous root? | 12:48 |
| Wonka_ | 5 years that I dont use Linux now | 12:48 |
| mastertheknife | yalue: VirtualBox. this was fine with Ubuntu 10.10 | 12:48 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: it should, are you sure you mounted the right thing to /media/2c... | 12:48 |
| OOPSie | llutz_: I sure hope so | 12:49 |
| sagi_ | HELP ..anybody please :( | 12:49 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: check it! ls -l ... | 12:49 |
| yalue | mastertheknife: have you installed guest additions yet? | 12:49 |
| mastertheknife | yalue: no, can't do that | 12:49 |
| OOPSie | llutz_: and it is not in the ls list? | 12:49 |
| mastertheknife | yalue: everytime i try to, ubuntu kicks me out and wants me to relogin | 12:49 |
| llutz_ | OOPSie: then its not your root-fs i guess | 12:50 |

| sagi_ | I though you guys could help me out | 12:50 |
| llutz_ | sagi_: you don't want 1600 users have saying "no idea" | 12:50 |
| sagi_ | llutz, what do u mean | 12:51 |
| sagi_ | ? | 12:51 |
| anodesni | sagi_: rm -rf /path/to/folder | 12:51 |
| sagi_ | There's no solution for this | 12:51 |
| sagi_ | anodesni, nothing happendd | 12:53 |
| iceroot | sagi_: no output means directory deleted | 12:53 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: You have a specific error that comes up? | 12:53 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: Provide more information than you already have, please | 12:53 |
| sagi_ | no , no error | 12:53 |
| sagi_ | no output for that command | 12:54 |
| llutz_ | sagi_: that command DELETEs a dir, it won't bring a deleted dir back | 12:54 |
| iceroot | sagi_: no output means directory deleted | 12:54 |
| anodesni | sagi_: I misread your question | 12:54 |
| james23 | So, I am able to minimize QQ to an icon on the system tray, buuut: I cannot bring it back from the icon, I can't right click the icon, double click, anything | 12:54 |
| corecode | how on earth does initramfs load modules? | 12:54 |
| llutz_ | sagi_: and if you blindly type all commands being given here into your system, i doubt you will be happy with your linux in future | 12:54 |
| tic^ | sagi_: are you trying to recover a folder or delete a folder? | 12:54 |
| james23 | I was here about fifteen minutes ago btw | 12:54 |
| corecode | my ubuntu xen domU doesn't load the blkfront driver | 12:54 |
| sagi_ | recover a folder. | 12:55 |
| iceroot | corecode: they are build into the ramdisk so at runtime there are no extra modules loaded | 12:55 |
| anodesni | sagi_: there are some recovery utilities for photo's for linux. They do work for other files | 12:55 |
| tic^ | oh boy, then don't run that rm command. | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | It can be very hard to undelete things on ext2/3/4 | 12:55 |
| corecode | iceroot: yes, but how does it decide which modules to load? | 12:55 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: You want to recover a folder - OKies. What filesystem was the folder on - FAT32/NTFS/EXT2/3/4? | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas | 12:56 |
| sagi_ | RevSpecies116, dont remember acctually | 12:56 |
| sagi_ | maybe fat32 | 12:56 |
| anodesni | sagi_: I hope for you there was no such folder when you rm'ed it | 12:56 |
| Wonka_ | I am interested in that photo recovery utility | 12:57 |
| llutz_ | !info testdisk | 12:57 |
| ubottu | testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.11-2 (natty), package size 1558 kB, installed size 4612 kB | 12:57 |
| theadmin | Wonka_: PhotoRec? | 12:57 |

| Nikro | Hey, I have two questions) I powered off my PC (Ubuntu Server 11.04) and this morning when I turned it on, there were several errors in the boot process, noticed some read/write errors, it tried to correct/recover them and now on each boot it gives me ureadahead error (terminated with status 5) and runs fsck for each partition, and finds more errors. | 12:57 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: If you find it was EXT2/3/4, then you may have no joy getting that back | 12:57 |
| sagi_ | RevSpecies116, okays so what to do now ? | 12:58 |
| sagi_ | redo , my whole work | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | isent there an app called 'photorec' or somthing like that? | 12:58 |
| iceroot | Nikro: change the harddisc and but in you backup | 12:58 |
| RevSpecies116 | BUT if it was FAT32 or NTFS, there are many 'undeleters' for those file systems | 12:58 |
| iceroot | corecode: if i am correct its reading the hardware and decided what to load | 12:58 |
| Nikro | I keep searching, but no luck, finally it boots up and I have my X, but still, I want to get rid of those checks/errors | 12:58 |
| Wonka_ | Nikro, if my friends do it to me I dont know what I will do | 12:58 |
| RevSpecies116 | Naturally they work because Microsoft didn't design them too well | 12:58 |
| iceroot | corecode: imo not all modules are loaded by default | 12:58 |
| mastertheknife | I think ubuntu 11.04 hates me.. Yesterday i tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 but the upgrade failed.. nothing but the 11.04 loading screen for hours. So i reinstalled 11.04, but now the gnome interface turns into some gray interface after few seconds.. any ideas?? i'm losing hope... | 12:58 |
| iceroot | Nikro: backup your system and replace the harddisc | 12:58 |
| corecode | iceroot: exactly, but i'm trying to load xen drivers | 12:59 |
| sipior | sagi_: you have backups? | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife try the ubuntu-classic desktop yet? whats your video card? | 12:59 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: You dual booting, or Linux only? | 12:59 |
| iceroot | corecode: just use the xen kernel | 12:59 |
| sagi_ | sipior, umm nope :( | 12:59 |
| sagi_ | Vm linux. | 12:59 |
| Wonka_ | sagi_ ,yes, where is the backup? | 12:59 |
| sipior | sagi_: consider it a priority in future. | 12:59 |
| Nikro | iceroot: you mean it's the hdd problem? yesterday I have mounted second drive and formatted it, maybe that messed up my partitioning =\ | 12:59 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: this is virtualbox VM | 12:59 |
| RevSpecies116 | sipior: At the moment that is irrelevant, and a gloat can be done if we fail in our task to help sagi_ | 12:59 |
| Nikro | iceroot: on the main hdd I use LVM | 12:59 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: it happens with all desktops.. i tried ubuntu classic too.. the gnome interface turns into gray | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, you are using the latest virtualbox? Unity has issues with the older versions i hear | 13:00 |
| iceroot | corecode: xen kernel on the host and the modules on the guest. best idea is to install also the xen kernel on the guest (metapackage) then the modules are automaticly installed an dloaded | 13:00 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: using sudo gnome-settings-daemon brings the gnome interface colours back | 13:00 |
| sipior | RevSpecies116: not gloating, exactly. and a restore from backups is vastly quicker and more reliable than attempting to recover data from a filesystem. | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, you could install some other window manager untill you get unity/gnome fixed.. if thats the issue | 13:00 |
| sagi_ | RevSpecies116, tell me one thing..am i the first one to come up with this problem | 13:00 |
| james23 | I have a program that when it minimizes to the Systray it will not reopen, but it is still running | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, what version of vbox are you using? | 13:00 |
| james23 | Any ideas??? | 13:00 |
| dr_willis | james23, whitelist it so it can appear in the systray.. :) | 13:00 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: Nope - it happens all the time. | 13:00 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: is this unity thing also running if i use classic ubuntu?? cause im having the same issue there too | 13:00 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: virtualbox 3.1.12 | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, i use Lubuntu these days. so not sure. | 13:01 |
| RevSpecies116 | But the recovery is a different story, sagi_ | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, that may be the issue then.. try a newer vbox version perhaps | 13:01 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: my bad, 3.2.12 | 13:01 |
| livcd | which command to use to find out which process is using a file / directory | 13:01 |
| theadmin | mastertheknife: You should use Virtualbox 4 | 13:01 |
| james23 | dr_willis: It's now whitelisted, and shows in the systray, but doesn't do anything at all when you click it | 13:01 |
| llutz_ | things doesn't "disappear" without reason all the time | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | james23, bummer. | 13:01 |
| ule | Hi guys.. I've restarted my ubuntu-11 (Gnome) and my gnome-panel doesn't have default theme.. all other windows have, but gnome-panel fails.. I've already removed all the .gconf* files from my home user.. but didn't works.. Can anybody help? | 13:01 |
| sagi_ | RevSpecies116, is there no option in ubuntu like recovering like windows have "system restore" ? | 13:01 |
| james23 | dr_willis: i know | 13:01 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: I should correct myself - things like files don't just disapear, though | 13:01 |
| RevSpecies116 | sagi_: that ALWAYS requires user intervention | 13:02 |
| mastertheknife | theadmin: its fixed with virtualbox4? also, why does it happen when i use classic ubuntu, i thought unity is only used in the "Ubuntu" desktop ? | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | james23, you could try one of the old fashioned systemtray replacement apps like for windowmaker in the repos.. it might let it work better.. or the app might have settings to NOT use the systray | 13:02 |
| RevSpecies116 | So perhaps you just downloaded a new malicious app that did it for you? | 13:02 |
| K|nG | HI there can someone help me with this problem >..... http://pastebin.com/s3vimQFV | 13:02 |

| sagi_ | RevSpecies116, i must have created a snapshot few days ago in my VM | 13:03 |

| dr_willis | anteaya, i would just set it uop in the network manager tools.. or miove all the files back. some .XXXX dir progberluy has the configs | 13:05 |
| anteaya | dr_willis, I have the files moved around to suit me, oh well, I can wait until my ISP opens and call them | 13:06 |
| anteaya | just thought someone might know | 13:06 |
| llutz_ | m_fulder: have you fixed your postfix-issue? | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | anteaya, you dont rember your name/password you needed? is that the core of the issue? | 13:07 |
| dr_willis | anteaya, look for the various . dirs (that begin with a .) those must be in your home basically | 13:07 |
| pishguy | how to install this theme?http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/BlueCurl+-+Ubuntu+GDM+Theme?content=103449 | 13:08 |
| anteaya | I enter my password for the ISP but then I get a window asking for a passphrase for a keyring | 13:08 |
| RevSpecies116 | And people - the first thing to do if you delete a file you didn't mean to is: Don't Panic | 13:08 |
| anteaya | I don't recall having to do that, dr_willis | 13:08 |
| anteaya | yeah, all hidden files are where I need them to be | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | anteaya, thats the gnome keyring that helop store passwords | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | anteaya, just hit enter and it will use unsafe storeage and never ask again | 13:08 |
| anteaya | dr_willis, oh, I have never used it before | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | unless you set a password for it once... | 13:08 |
| anteaya | dr_willis, I will try | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | its resetable also... | 13:09 |
| m_fulder | llutz, yeah :D | 13:09 |
| llutz_ | RevSpecies116: panic is for those, not having a backup | 13:09 |
| m_fulder | llutz, it finally worked .. I change a bunch of stuff no idea what the fix was xD | 13:09 |
| anteaya | okay, so the keyring passphrase has nothing to do with my ISP password, correct? | 13:09 |
| llutz_ | m_fulder: ah ok | 13:09 |
| Wonka_ | I am curious about what that rasrach was...,maybe something fast | 13:10 |
| RevSpecies116 | pishguy: What Ubuntu you running? As from KK there is no easy way to theme GDM | 13:11 |
| mastertheknife | theadmin, dr_willis: I am now using VirtualBox 4.0.8 and its still happening, any ideas? | 13:12 |
| zombieSLAYER | i installed 11.04 on a separate hd but now i can't see my main install (10.04) from 11.04 | 13:12 |
| RevSpecies116 | Oh did Sagi_ run away before telling us he found the files? | 13:13 |
| neuroinsleep | zombieSLAYER: Have you updated grub? | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, check the forums and askubuntu.com i dont use vbox, or unity. from what i hear in here it should work with vbox4+ | 13:14 |
| zombieSLAYER | yep i booted from the hd with 10.04 | 13:14 |
| dr_willis | zombieSLAYER, cant 'see' as in theres no grub menu item? | 13:14 |
| zombieSLAYER | and used grub to goto 11.04 | 13:14 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | hello | 13:14 |
| mastertheknife | I will just try installing ubuntu 11.04 again, thanks for the help though :) | 13:14 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | i have some problems with the nvidia driver and using 2 GPU | 13:14 |
| zombieSLAYER | no i cant access the 10.04 files from 11.04 | 13:14 |
| Wonka_ | what kind of cientist sagi_ was? | 13:14 |
| zombieSLAYER | it doesnt see the drive | 13:14 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | i have 2 screens in a twinview, and a second X Screen for the 3rd screen | 13:15 |
| RevSpecies116 | drive, zombieSLAYER ? | 13:15 |
| neuroinsleep | zombieSLAYER: Can you post your grub config file on a pastebin site? | 13:15 |
| sipior | Wonka_: doesn't really matter, and off-topic in any event. | 13:15 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | the problem is the twinview screen is view as only one, so panel and maximized windows are on both screen | 13:15 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | when i have only the twinview there is no problems... | 13:15 |
| zombieSLAYER | no cause i cant see the drive with the config | 13:16 |
| neuroinsleep | zombieSLAYER: Oh, different sort of problem. You just need to mount the partition from within 11.04 presumably | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | Mahoru`Tsunemi, qwhen using twinview in the past. I had to enable twinview then restart the X server. or else the gnome panel would go across both screens | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | Mahoru`Tsunemi, but what you are doing.. is somthing i dident even think would work.. :) ive rarely had 3 monitors work properly | 13:17 |
| Mahoru`Tsunemi | dr_willis: i restart the X server at every modif :) | 13:17 |
| zombieSLAYER | yea but its not in the media folder | 13:17 |
| RevSpecies116 | could be in the /mnt/ folder ;) | 13:17 |
| zombieSLAYER | nope | 13:17 |

| gry | Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. I aim to add Seamonkey 2.1 instead of Seamonkey 2.0.x on the machine. It is not in default repositories or https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa. What can you suggest to use to install it, other than the project homepage which just had an archive with the program files, which I would have to extract to ~ or some similar location, which wouldn't add the 'seamonkey' bash command the right way and do the | 13:18 |
| Magnusson | anyone know why firefox(and all browsers) say i need to install flash when i know it's installed b/c i was watching youtube vids on it last week? | 13:18 |
| llutz_ | Magnusson: sure you havent used youtube with html5? | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | gry, the make a link from ~/bin/seamonkey to the binary.. and it will be in the default path | 13:19 |
| Magnusson | llutz_>hrm honestly not sure, donno what that means exactly lol | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | youtube.com/html5 | 13:19 |
| Magnusson | hrm that's a negative then | 13:20 |
| Wonka_ | not all youtube files are html5 this moment | 13:20 |
| gry | dr_willis: Is there nothing else you can suggest me to do to the sources.list file or something like that to have it auto-update along with having that bash command? | 13:20 |
| Magnusson | i should say i was watching flash videos, not all were on youtube | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | gry, i dont use the latest seamonkey. if you want it updated automatically you will need to find a ppa or repoistiory | 13:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | You could try a purge, gry - but I don't know how to walk you through that | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | gry, IF the thing can update itself that would also work if the user installed it in their homedir | 13:22 |
| gry | dr_willis: Thats what I failed to do myself and am asking this channel about, "a ppa or repository", as the previous version of seamonkey crashes for me (http://eu.gshellz.org/~user/seamonkey-output.txt) | 13:22 |
| tarelerulz | What do you all think about Android and chrome os ? | 13:22 |
| dr_willis | tarelerulz, theres the #android channel :) | 13:23 |
| gry | tarelerulz: they belong to their own channels apparently, and work good for what they're worth | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | and chromeOS is not android. heh.. | 13:23 |
| Nikro | erm, I have LVM with some logical partitions, like / /var /boot /tmp and so on | 13:23 |
| Nikro | how can I reinstall ubuntu with keeping as much data as I can (just formatting /boot or /) | 13:24 |
| tarelerulz | sorry post in the wrong room. I meant it for off topic | 13:24 |
| x-ip | hi, someone knows an utility that let me restrict what a user can do at gnome ? for example, disable to create folders or to change the desktop wallpaper | 13:24 |
| RevSpecies116 | gry: It was only just released as final | 13:24 |
| RevSpecies116 | gry - it WILL come automatically - give it a week or so | 13:24 |
| gry | ~.~ | 13:24 |
| Magnusson | is there a more appropriate channel for my question for that matter | 13:24 |
| gry | Thanks, RevSpecies116 - I'll just wait | 13:24 |
| gry | Magnusson: What's up? | 13:25 |
| gry | Magnusson: (Ask in one line) | 13:25 |
| RevSpecies116 | gry - that would be the best thing - that way it will be supported by Canonical too | 13:25 |
| Skeeter- | yesterday i restored a RAID with mdadm. i tried to activate the lvm on top of that but the UUID is not the same, DID i lose all my data? | 13:25 |
| tarelerulz | I do have problem . When I use nvidia's drivers/ module for my video card it works ,but the setting don't save . I have to set it each time. The place it says it saves don't seem to be read . anyone | 13:25 |
| Magnusson | gry>trying to figure out with everyone's help why my flash plugin is being wonky. won't let me watch flash videos now even though i was doing so last week | 13:26 |
| gry | Magnusson: try #firefox maybe, it's nt as busy | 13:27 |
| mastertheknife | Skeeter-: LVM is very difficult to recover.... | 13:27 |
| gry | not rather | 13:27 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: anything i can try?? when "blkid" md0 doesnt seems to have a UUID | 13:27 |
| tarelerulz | flash is all ways wonky . It works ,but it all ways seem to crash. the windows version never crashes on me. | 13:27 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: wow its still happening.. unbelieveable | 13:27 |
| RevSpecies116 | Magnusson: I think there is a cure by copying an .so file | 13:27 |
| RevSpecies116 | But I am not versed in that method, Magnusson | 13:28 |
| Magnusson | tarelerulz>i have teh same experience | 13:28 |
| Magnusson | RevSpecies116>hmm any idea where i could look? | 13:28 |
| mastertheknife | Skeeter-: focus on recovering the RAID first. only once you have the partition table etc complete, you can begin attempting to recover RAID | 13:28 |
| mastertheknife | recover LVM* | 13:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | But I have seen it done in here AND succeed - something to do with downloading the tar.gz from Adobe and extracting just one file | 13:28 |
| RevSpecies116 | And putting it in the plugin folders of various browsers | 13:28 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: i got the RAID activenow | 13:29 |
| mastertheknife | RevSpecies116: exactly | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | actually dosent the latest google chrome browser have flash built in as an optional feature? | 13:29 |
| mastertheknife | RevSpecies116: you extract the .tar.gz file with tar xvzf and copy the library (.so file) to the plugins folder | 13:29 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: cat /proc/mdstat is ok | 13:29 |
| RevSpecies116 | BUT, people - I don't know that method off by heart, and so cannot walk you through it Magnusson | 13:29 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: i can pastebin you some stuff if you need | 13:29 |
| Magnusson | RevSpecies116>heck it's a lead to start looking so appreciated :) | 13:30 |
| mastertheknife | Skeeter-: not very fimiliar with LVM, but i thought it stores its meta data on the partitions, like linux raid | 13:30 |
| mastertheknife | or does it have a config file? | 13:30 |
| Skeeter- | cant really tell | 13:30 |
| sipior | Magnusson: what does "about:plugins" report when you point to it in firefox? | 13:30 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: nvr had any problem with it so far | 13:30 |
| LinuxPhreak | I just installed mono 2.10 on my Ubuntu 11.04 machine. When I type mono vbappfw4.exe I get an error that says I need mscorlib.dll in /usr/lib/mono/1.0 directory | 13:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | Magnusson: I've seen other folks in here [regulars] solve that exact problem for other people. But it seemed a little complex, so I didn't follow it. Wish I did now so I could help more directly | 13:31 |
| mastertheknife | my ubuntu 11.04 is nothing but grief so far... upgrade failed, reinstalled twice so far and still having issues with the windows decorator, lol | 13:31 |
| Magnusson | sipior>whoa, in fact it says no enabled plugins found..interesting | 13:31 |
| === Krabbe is now known as krabbe | ||
| LinuxPhreak | I currently only have 2.0 and higher in the directory | 13:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | But all I recollect is extracting an .so file and putting it in the browsers plugin folder | 13:31 |
| Skeeter- | mastertheknife: ya, 11.04 is fail | 13:31 |
| Magnusson | RevSpecies116>yeah i figured it had to be a common problem | 13:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | mastertheknife: I take it you have done a 'metacity --replace &' in a terminal? | 13:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | compiz in 11.04 is a little bugged | 13:33 |
| mastertheknife | Skeeter-: I tried to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04. after upgrade completion, i was presented with the loading screen for hours... it was dead, had to reinstall | 13:33 |
| mastertheknife | RevSpecies116: I login to the ubuntu desktop (or ubuntu classic, no difference), and i get the gnome decorator, but after few windows, it turns gray | 13:34 |
| mastertheknife | metacity replace doesnt fix it | 13:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | Ahhh, mastertheknife - an issue beyond what I can help :( | 13:34 |
| mastertheknife | RevSpecies116: sudo gnome-settings-daemon does fix it, but only for few seconds | 13:35 |
| mastertheknife | RevSpecies116: also reinstalled 11.04 but its still happening | 13:35 |
| andycc | mastertheknife: what turns gray? Just the windows or the whole desktop? | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, you could try installing unity-2d | 13:35 |
| mastertheknife | the windows and the title bars, etc | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | but then its niot as fancy a desktop | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | that greyness sounds like compiz hanging | 13:35 |
| mastertheknife | everything is okay after login | 13:35 |
| mastertheknife | but 10 seconds it turns gray | 13:36 |
| susundberg | Hello, any idea why opencl - program started to crash my natty? The screen hangs , keyboard/mouse is unresponsive and some 1s loop is played from sound system | 13:36 |

| mastertheknife | I can't find a process running called compiz, but metacity is running | 13:36 |
| susundberg | In kernel log there wasn't anything that seemd to be related | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, disable compiz, or try unity2d | 13:36 |
| m_fulder | how do I run httpd -S command in ubuntu ? :S | 13:36 |
| susundberg | and i swear it did work for a while ago | 13:36 |
| RevSpecies116 | the 'metacity --replace &' can be put in some config file somewhere at startup [somehow] and it will stop compiz from even loading | 13:37 |
| jiohdi | master_of_master, you can change that in terminal by compiz --replace | 13:37 |
| andycc | mastertheknife: ah, so just the *theme* goes gray? Or the windows actually turn completely gray and unreadable? | 13:37 |
| Guest93333 | hello | 13:37 |
| mastertheknife | andycc: theme | 13:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | m_fulder: it has been changed to apachectl or some such | 13:37 |
| andycc | mastertheknife: then take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/21305/desktop-forgets-theme , there's an answer posted there | 13:37 |
| Magnusson | RevSpecies116>by chance do you remember if it was more of a 64 bit problem? | 13:38 |
| Wonka_ | your spanish is very good | 13:38 |
| mastertheknife | compiz --replace doesn't fix it | 13:38 |
| mastertheknife | however, sudo gnome-settings-daemon does | 13:38 |
| RevSpecies116 | Magnusson: That .so solution should work for both 32 and 64 bit | 13:38 |
| RevSpecies116 | as long as you use the correct .so lib for the version | 13:38 |
| mastertheknife | andycc: thats exactly the issue and how it looks like !! | 13:39 |
| mastertheknife | http://i.imgur.com/QZwbk.png | 13:39 |
| dr_willis | i cant imagine why you would run sudo gnome-settingsdeamon when it should be just 'gnome-settings-deamon' | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | Unless you are logging in as root. :) | 13:40 |
| andycc | mastertheknife: yes, try the first solution (adding the sleep statement) | 13:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | m_fulder: Did you figure it out? | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | I wonder IF that may be the issue.. it could be your setting files are some how owned by root.. and thus your user is having issues with them | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | mastertheknife, as a test. try making a totally new user. see if it affects them also. | 13:40 |
| dr_willis | thunderstorms here.. power flickering.. bye all... | 13:41 |
| mastertheknife | dr_willis: it cant be something done by me because i just reinstalled 11.04 5-10 minutes ago, hehe | 13:41 |
| mastertheknife | i will try that fix | 13:41 |
| mastertheknife | nevermind.. i will just let it like that | 13:43 |
| susundberg | How do i install newer than 38 kernel -- download one from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? | 13:43 |
| mastertheknife | typing gnome-settings-daemon fixes it and it keeps working until relogin.. fair enough | 13:43 |
| susundberg | or is that ppa 39-0 the same as that 39-rc4 listed there | 13:43 |

| theadmin | rage: Arch/Gentoo are the only true bleeding-edge distros | 14:34 |

| ivaylov | anyone tried CrossOver Pro? Is it better then wine? | 14:34 |
| theadmin | ivaylov: Nah, not really | 14:34 |
| rage | theadmin: The main thing is, you can literally run the same config for years on LTS :-) | 14:34 |
| edbian | Kaelo: Firmware is software that runs directly on the hardware (in this case on the card). It is proprietary so Ubuntu does not want to distribute it with their OS. This command adds it the easy way. | 14:35 |

| Kaelo | kk updated | 14:58 |
| Kaelo | firmware try again | 14:58 |
| edbian | Kaelo: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer (yeah) | 14:58 |
| jrib | novitololo: you did not create the symlink in the manner you described, recreate it | 14:58 |
| Kaelo | yay it found it | 14:58 |
| edbian | Kaelo: good. | 14:59 |
| edbian | Kaelo: you edited the file correctly. | 14:59 |
| bigbang | recently i install nvidia additional graphics driver and after rebooting my system hangs what should i do | 14:59 |
| Kaelo | This kinda scares me :| I'm wanting to learn py and I'm having issues just trying to get the system up that I wanna use it on lol | 14:59 |
| novitololo | jrib: I should have mentioned the version of Komodo, I created like this: sudo ln -s ~/Komodo-Edit-6/bin/komodo /usr/local/bin/komodo | 15:00 |
| Kaelo | It finished. | 15:00 |
| edbian | Kaelo: Learning python is easier in my opinion. | 15:00 |
| jrib | novitololo: it seems like you did not use "~/" when you created it. | 15:00 |
| theadmin | Kaelo: Ruby is simplier than Python btw | 15:00 |
| edbian | Kaelo: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter (this extracts the firmware) I think it's installed already but I wanna make sure. | 15:00 |
| novitololo | jrib: sorry, that's right. | 15:00 |
| jrib | novitololo: you need that :) | 15:01 |
| Kaelo | b43-fwcutter is already the newest version. b43-fwcutter set to manually installed. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 158 not upgraded. | 15:01 |
| novitololo | jrib: I created the symlink from inside my ~ and I assumed it would be created there... | 15:01 |
| novitololo | sorry | 15:01 |
| edbian | Kaelo: ok good. last command. sudo modprobe b43 This inserts the b43 module/driver This is the driver that used to run your card. It didn't work before because of the firmware | 15:01 |
| Kaelo | k, it didn't return anything | 15:02 |
| edbian | Kaelo: No news is good news. That means the driver was inserted successfully. Wireless should be working now. | 15:03 |
| Kaelo | Holy hell I see networks D; so many networks! | 15:03 |
| Kaelo | Next I reboot itll be undone eh :(? | 15:03 |
| DeltaEpsilon | Kaelo: you are in the Matrix | 15:03 |
| Kaelo | I know it :| | 15:04 |
| edbian | Kaelo: not sure about the reboot. Try it! I'm not afraid to do all that again. | 15:04 |
| edbian | People are always so surprised when you get things working. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. | 15:04 |
| Kaelo | I think it's more the fact that the person actually has a hand in getting things working but thats just me. Not even sure if I put that right.. | 15:05 |
| edbian | Kaelo: Oh, you mean cause you just did this and it actually worked. It is not surprising that I am capable but that you are. | 15:06 |
| Kaelo | How do I check the mac addy of the nic again? | 15:06 |
| Kaelo | Well yeh, that I'm actually having to type in commands and seek out help. Rather than d/ling a installing a 1 button fix in windows | 15:07 |
| edbian | Kaelo: mac address? It's listed in the output of ip addr | 15:07 |
| edbian | Kaelo: Why do you need your own mac? | 15:07 |
| Kaelo | so many commands lol.. well so I can add it to the list of allowed devices on my modem :) | 15:08 |
| edbian | Kaelo: oh ok | 15:08 |
| Kaelo | Got tired of neighbors piggybacking wireless | 15:08 |
| edbian | Kaelo: There really are only 2 to get the card working. sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and sudo modprobe b43 | 15:08 |

| Kaelo | brb methinks | 15:17 |
| Daemeon | Looking for a little tech help concerning the 11.04 x64 desktop Live CD image I downloaded last night. Due to some hardware issues, I cannot use my DVD drive at the moment, so I created a bootable USB for install. The image matched the provided hash, and the usb tool that came with the image worked fine... but for some reason I am having issues in installing Ubuntu. | 15:17 |
| paradox_ | hello everyone.... | 15:18 |
| paradox_ | I have a file with .vc4 extension | 15:18 |
| Daemeon | My computer either hangs up and does nothing, or kicks me out of the installation GUI and displays nothing more than an "Authentication Failure" message | 15:18 |

| paradox_ | how do i open a disc image with .vc4 extension in 10.04? | 15:19 |
| paradox_ | can any one help??? | 15:20 |
| coz_ | Daemeon, not sure,, by chance do you have an empty external hard drive? I only used usb install a few times and didnt like it at all,, but an external worked just fine using unetbootin | 15:20 |
| Daemeon | @paradox: The .VC4 file is an exact copy (image) of a CD-ROM, stored as a file on the hard disk. It can be used to run CD-based programs without inserting the physical CD. It is common disc image format recognized by several disc authoring programs | 15:20 |

| WorkingOnWise | my uncle, a Linux neophyte, installed natty. then asked me for help with his broadcom WiFi card. in vast versions it is a 5 minute operation. I've done it a million times. but natty has been "improved" to the point that I can't find anything for drivers. or anything else. grr | 15:32 |
| Akuma | hello, I'm compiling an application and I had two questions: 1 - what is the default installation directory for apps, 2 - how do I create a .deb file from my compilation (as opposed to doing make install) | 15:32 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: What card does he have? | 15:32 |
| WorkingOnWise | the directions I find with Google are what I already know, and useless since the system menu is gone. so. help. | 15:33 |
| ikonia | Akuma: what are you building ? | 15:33 |
| Akuma | gnucash | 15:33 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: What card does he have? | 15:33 |
| ikonia | Akuma: that is already in the repos - you don't need to compile it | 15:33 |
| Akuma | ikonia: unfortunately the ubuntu packaged version does not provide database support | 15:33 |
| Akuma | so I need to compile it | 15:33 |
| WorkingOnWise | brodcom. | 15:33 |
| ikonia | Akuma: really, are you %100 sure, I thought it did | 15:33 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: Broadcom what? BCM43xx ? | 15:34 |
| Akuma | I tried with both the ubuntu repo and the getdeb repo | 15:34 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: 4311? 4306 ? | 15:34 |
| Akuma | neither had mysql support | 15:34 |
| paradox_ | sorry | 15:34 |
| WorkingOnWise | yes Edwina. bcm43xx. | 15:34 |
| rage | Akuma: There is no default directory for apps as such. Linux works differently, splits libs and config and puts them into more accessible places. /opt is the best place for your compiled application though | 15:34 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: Edwina??? | 15:34 |
| edbian | I'm never had anybody butcher it that bad | 15:34 |
| Akuma | yea, just wondering what to set for --prefix | 15:34 |
| llutz_ | Akuma: /usr/local | 15:35 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: specifically, what numbers? 4311? 4312 ? | 15:35 |
| rage | Akuma: As for making a deb. Check out checkinstall | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Akuma: one moment - I'll give you some solid info in 2 minutes | 15:35 |
| WorkingOnWise | I never looked for the specific, ubunto made a 5 click solution for the whole 43xx series so I've never worried about it on his. | 15:35 |
| paradox_ | bye everyone | 15:35 |
| Akuma | thanks | 15:35 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: Different cards have different installation sequences now. Are you not on that machine? | 15:36 |
| ikonia | !info gnucash | 15:36 |
| ubottu | gnucash (source: gnucash): personal and small-business financial-accounting software. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:2.4.2-1ubuntu1 (natty), package size 1683 kB, installed size 5812 kB | 15:36 |
| ikonia | ah it's 2.4.6 that contains sql support | 15:36 |
| linuxpusher | Is there an Ultimate Edition channel? | 15:36 |
| WorkingOnWise | no I'm not. from 8.04 to 10.10 the specific card didn't matter | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Akuma: ok here is my suggestion | 15:37 |
| coz_ | linuxpusher, not that I am aware of | 15:37 |
| Akuma | I believe 2.4.2 has it as well, it's just not compiled in the ubuntu versions | 15:37 |
| Akuma | ikonia: I'm all eyes | 15:37 |
| ikonia | Akuma: get the ubuntu source package of gnucash (apt-get source gnucash) modify the decription file to include mysql support, and recompile the package using the official ubuntu package/source/description files | 15:38 |
| ikonia | !packaging | Akuma | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Akuma: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 15:38 |
| edbian | WorkingOnWise: I can't help you if you don't know the number. Giving you a set of steps to cover all possible solutions would be beyond my abilities (and our time) | 15:38 |
| linuxpusher | coz, thanks | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Akuma: that guide should explain how to re-compile the deb, but as you are using the ubuntu source you can pretty much jump to the last steps | 15:38 |
| Akuma | cool, I'll take a look at that | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Akuma: its the best way to confirm compatability and formatting in same way as the existing ubuntu package | 15:39 |

| * d3vil does anyone know any programm for speech recognize? | 16:55 | |
| psycho_oreos | GilAz, there's plenty of other tools, and no ddrescue is not even remotely the solution. ddrescue is somewhat similar to dd and it basically mirrors contents on a lower level than cp for instance | 16:55 |

| psycho_oreos | GilAz, you have two options, you can use ddrescue and forget about data being converted to the destination device as NTFS, the will be exactly the same as source device. That is an easy way, the other is to maybe ddrescue the contents into a big image file and use filecarving tools to carve whatever data you need out of it on the destination device (note that destination device must have at bare minimum the exact amount of storage space than source device | 16:58 |

| cdeszaq | I have ubuntu in a VM with 2 network adapters, one is a NAT through the host that has access to DNS servers and the Internet, and the other is a host-only connection. The problem is that when I just start it up, it can't get to the Internet (can't resolve the domain names). When I turn off eth1 (the host-only connection), the routes fix themselves and it works correctly when I turn eth1 back on. How can I get it to behave correctly on boot? | 17:12 |

The load avarage is always above 1, but I can't figure out why. Where else than top can I search for the cause for thus? | 17:42 |

| TMaYaD | Hi, | 19:18 |
| TMaYaD | I'm trying to install ubuntu server for NAS on a system without keyboard | 19:19 |
| Dobuntu | Corey: I have a feeling this is caused by a recent Ubuntu package update. I have not installed any apps this just started happening. Also, I no longer see any other machines on the network. | 19:19 |
| oCean | Wesss: there are bugs related to this, such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/324051 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/752507, you may look into that | 19:19 |

| TMaYaD | I have configured my router to lease ip address based on the mag | 19:19 |
| TMaYaD | mac | 19:20 |
| TMaYaD | how can I connect to the server and install? | 19:20 |
| TMaYaD | I have ubuntu server 11.04 usb drive created through unetbootin | 19:20 |
| celthunder | TMaYaD: you probably want to connect through ssh to the currently installed os and then do it from there | 19:20 |
| EmuAlert | Is it significantly slower to store most of my files on my NTFS partition? | 19:21 |
| TMaYaD | nothing is installed on the server | 19:21 |
| TMaYaD | its a new flash disk | 19:21 |
| celthunder | TMaYaD: ok then make sure your livecd starts ssh and has a user | 19:21 |
| celthunder | or liveusb whatever | 19:21 |
| TMaYaD | how do I do that | 19:21 |
| TMaYaD | most of the tutorials tells me to use preseed or kickstart | 19:22 |
| Moopz | Hey. I have set the executable bit on a .bin file but cannot execute it. What do I do? | 19:22 |
| celthunder | TMaYaD: yeah that works too | 19:22 |
| TMaYaD | but I neither know the syntax nor have linux to use the kichstart gui | 19:22 |
| celthunder | Moopz: what's the error when you do | 19:22 |

| celthunder | Moopz: did you try sh <file> | 19:23 |
| Moopz | celthunder: It is both 32 bit, I haven't tried sh. | 19:23 |
| celthunder | KyleZero1: what format is the drive? | 19:23 |
| Jon-- | Is there a way to check if a given enabled repository is 'useless'? (ie: No packages installed from it currently) | 19:23 |
| KyleZero1 | Uhm Idk | 19:23 |
| TMaYaD | moopz | 19:23 |
| Moopz | celthunder: sh worked. | 19:24 |
| TMaYaD | what does 'file *.bin' tell you | 19:24 |
| celthunder | Moopz: open it up and add #!/bin/sh with a text editor to the first line to fix that | 19:24 |
| celthunder | KyleZero1: so...is it ext? ntfs? other? | 19:25 |

| dragonslayer314 | TheDead91: i would recommend a tiling wm tho, like awesome or dwm | 19:59 |
| celthunder | TheDead91: uhm openbox xmonad awesome stumpwm fluxbox dwm...lxde/xfce/are lighter than gnome/kde/unity but more resource intensive than the first few | 19:59 |
| celthunder | dragonslayer314: TheDead91 i agree...tiling wm's are good | 19:59 |
| andycc | TheDead91: if you're doing this for a relatively-new-to-Linux friend, I'd go with the classic GNOME desktop or maybe, if you're really having speed issues, Xfce. | 20:00 |
| dragonslayer314 | celthunder: once you go tiling you never go back | 20:00 |
| TheDead91 | dragonslayer314, well I think he alredy tried it out, but he's still looking to save moro second | 20:00 |
| celthunder | dragonslayer314: yep | 20:00 |
| celthunder | andycc: he want's a LIGHT wm...gnome is definitly not light | 20:00 |
| TheDead91 | I will try XFce | 20:00 |
| celthunder | and niether is xfce tbh | 20:01 |
| celthunder | as phrik put it xfce: gnome with more bugs less features and the same bloat | 20:02 |
| suee | ~ | 20:03 |
| extraclassic | how old are the computers you guys use if gnome is too slow | 20:03 |
| dragonslayer314 | i never knew xfce was that bad | 20:03 |
| dragonslayer314 | i never used it that much | 20:03 |
| andycc | celthunder: I didn't say GNOME is lightweight, but I tend to recommend usability over speed. Of course, if you know your way around, screen is very usable, but not for Joe, the average user. | 20:03 |
| iridium | xfce is a good trade-off | 20:03 |
| celthunder | extraclassic: AMD Phenom 840 16GB DDR3 16000 Nvidia 540GTX | 20:04 |
| dragonslayer314 | extraclassic: my computer is new and can definitely use gnome. but i still prefer lightweight applications mostly | 20:04 |
| celthunder | extraclassic: dragonslayer314 exactly...why use 90 percent of the comp's capabilties to do basic tasks when using 40MB of ram will do just fine | 20:05 |

| computerx | I put ubuntu on a vps. Stripped it down, put sshfs on it. Added a user, put that user in sudo and fuse groups. When I try sshfs mounting, it says failed to open /dev/fuse permission denied, even if I sudo it. | 20:16 |

| guntbert | shdd: do you work as root? | 21:12 |
| shdd | yes, but I have people that login to their accounts that need to edit stuff | 21:12 |
| shdd | yes, but I have people that login to their accounts that need to edit stuff gunbert | 21:12 |
| guntbert | shdd: then that is definetely no standard ubuntu system, how did you install it? | 21:13 |
| shdd | guntbert: its a vps | 21:13 |
| escott | J697, ntfs is not an appropriate fs type on which to install ubuntu | 21:13 |
| wildbat | J697: so you wanna remove ubuntu then ~ you need to boot from CD/USB/Net ~ you can't format a mounted fs / , you are trying to do like format c: under windwos .... | 21:14 |
| J697 | escott, I am not tryting to install ubuntu | 21:14 |
| guntbert | shdd: so no standard system: have a look at man sudoers , and the use visudo to edit the file | 21:14 |
| wildbat | Question, how to change the mount point permission for ext4 mount ? or it is always root:root 644 | 21:14 |
| shdd | guntbert: man sudoers? | 21:14 |
| J697 | wildbat, it wont let me in the recovery cds they just give an error of an unrecognized file system | 21:15 |
| guntbert | shdd: yes, that will tell you how to edit that file | 21:15 |
| jrib | !permissions | wildbat | 21:15 |
| ubottu | wildbat: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 21:15 |
| shdd | gunbert: it just says permission denied when i try to nano to the file | 21:15 |
| wildbat | J697: i know ~ i mean you have to boot a ubuntu live CD / Windows Setup CD and redo the partition | 21:16 |
| J697 | wildbat, ok so I get my Ubuntu live CD (which is 10.04 btw) and format the drive and then use the recovery cds? | 21:16 |
| guntbert | shdd: DON'T use plain nano, you might lock yourself out - use visudo | 21:16 |
| MistuhKurtz | hey guys | 21:17 |

| jrib | wildbat: forget about mountpoint, chown chmod whatever file you want to change the permissions of | 21:19 |
| mkanyicy | wildbat: it does apply | 21:19 |
| IAmError | celestica_ oh that's awesome. :) Also, are there other desktops that you can install with ubuntu aside from the Kubuntu one? | 21:19 |
| mushy | is 10.10 -> 11.04 good update? | 21:20 |
| mushy | i develop gtk+ apps | 21:20 |
| celestica_- | IAmError, Yes! Almost any DE you could think of, XFCE, GNOME, Enlightenment | 21:20 |
| wildbat | mkanyicy: i tried, nope can't do | 21:20 |
| celestica_- | IAmError, You'd probably be better of browsing the Ubuntu wiki, you can find a lot more information about different desktop evinorments there. It gets a little involved xP | 21:20 |

| abstrakt | and that works fine, but when i move the myproject folder over to /media/LinuxUser/myproject and then i cd /media/LinuxUser/myproject i can't actually run those scripts anymore | 21:29 |
| hiexpo | centHOGG, go to settings prefs alerts | 21:29 |
| nanomad | abstrakt: maybe the disk is FAT32/NTFS? | 21:29 |
| abstrakt | they have correct permissions from what I can tell, fully chmodded to 777... still no love, the tab completion doesn't work either | 21:29 |
| centHOGG | hiexpo: k | 21:29 |
| abstrakt | nanomad, nope, it's not it's ext | 21:29 |

| jrib | abstrakt: pastebin your attempt at running the script and the output given by your shell | 21:30 |
| wildbat | jrib, that i know ~ but like if i have a usb drive format to ext4 ~ then it will be mount as root with 644 permission. i can change the folder/file within but not the mountpoint | 21:31 |
| jrib | wildbat: why do you care what the permissions of the mount point are? | 21:31 |
| centHOGG | hiexpo: i guess switch to tree mode | 21:32 |
| wildbat | jrib cause it is own but root ~ so users can't create file directly under it | 21:32 |
| wildbat | by* | 21:32 |
| hiexpo | centHOGG, i thought you wanted to turn beeping off? | 21:32 |
| jrib | wildbat: use chown/chmod. | 21:32 |
| abstrakt | bash: /media/LinuxUser/srv/mytestproject/bin/my-utility-script.sh: Permission denied | 21:32 |
| jrib | wildbat: if it's ext4 then that's how you change permissions. | 21:33 |
| abstrakt | jrib, ^ that's the error | 21:33 |
| jrib | abstrakt: what did you execute...? | 21:33 |
| abstrakt | abstrakt@localhost $ /media/LinuxUser/srv/mytestproject/bin/my-utility-script.sh | 21:34 |
| wildbat | jrib, can't change the mountpoint permission with that ~ it is the /media/usb_drive got root:root 644 premission ~ if a user wanna create a file say /media/usb_drive/file123 it will fail ~ | 21:34 |

| UbuntuHero | Good evening? I am using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 at the moment. Is it possible to install the latest version of Ubuntu I think it is 11.04, but without that Unity crap? I really love Ubuntu and swear by it to everyone I come across, but Unity is a piece of retarded fucking shit and I really would prefer to not have that on my Ubuntu. Thanks in advance. :-) | 21:46 |
| traskers | Should there be something in my /etc/grub.d/10_linux file? | 21:47 |
| Corey | UbuntuHero: Your language is inappropriate for this channel. | 21:47 |

| celestica_- | vatts, Correct. Though I believe with a little tweaking GRUB will pick up the Windows partition just fine | 22:00 |
| vatts | Let's hope. I don't want to waste 3 hours (cause 10.04 doesn't boot from CD, i installed 8.04 LTS and did update) :) | 22:00 |

| lillem4n | enjablot: Ah, maybe that feature was added in 10.11. THen you get the options: Overwrite, skip or rename :) | 22:40 |
| enjablot | lillem4n: it only give skip and replace | 22:41 |
| enjablot | i see | 22:41 |
| kdevries | are there any changes for sponsorship in the ¨Ubuntu Certified Professional examen 199¨ program ? | 22:41 |
| vatts | and yeah celestica_- - can be liveCD to boot installed 10.04 versioned with 8.04? cause 10.04 doesn't boot for me. | 22:41 |
| rationalOgre | keithb: the file may exist but I do not believe it is part of the ubuntu boot process. | 22:41 |
| rationalOgre | keithb: Especially since the conversion to upstart. | 22:41 |
| lillem4n | enjablot: Well.. You could update, or do a shell script.. or do it manually :) | 22:41 |
| Metroshica | rational0gre: thanks a ton, I just found that online, this is the sort of help I was looking for | 22:41 |
| keithb | rationalOgre: could be but it's probably not hard to re-enable it | 22:42 |
| lillem4n | Noone knows how I can start several instances of the same application in 11.04 - Unity? | 22:42 |
| iceroot | lillem4n: depending on the application | 22:42 |
| celestica_- | vatts, The LiveCD of 10.04 will not boot? There may be something wrong with the CD itself | 22:42 |
| lillem4n | iceroot: Most important for me: calculator and leafpad | 22:42 |
| vatts | mhm | 22:43 |
| vatts | thats why i installed 8.04 and updated to 10.04 | 22:43 |
| Guest40866 | what does not found string table mean? does anyone know? | 22:43 |
| rationalOgre | keithb: More difficult than you think. Google about it. the solution I gave is one of the "easiest" to mimic rc.local behaviour. | 22:43 |
| blz | lillem4n: i usually use synapse or a similar launcher. you can just punch in the app from there and it'll open in a fresh instance | 22:43 |
| vatts | its just like, booting and not starting XORG / forcing video / i'm comming into terminal | 22:43 |
| celestica_- | vatts, Ah, so your install is currently on 10.04? | 22:43 |
| blz | lillem4n: using the super key and punching in the app name from there works too | 22:43 |
| vatts | mhm | 22:43 |
| vatts | (affirmative) | 22:43 |
| rationalOgre | Metroshica: once you've added local you can just put your scripts in there. | 22:43 |
| blz | lillem4n: and hitting enter will launch the first app in your list of results | 22:43 |
| rationalOgre | and they will run at boot. And you're welcome. | 22:43 |
| celestica_- | vatts, I'm hesitant to advise you on this, I came to ubuntu around 9.10 :P I don't think it should matter which LiveCD you use though ,since we will be editing the file already on your hard drive | 22:44 |
| enjablot | lillem4n: ill prob have to update then, its for my father and he doesnt like to do it the "hard" way | 22:44 |
| rationalOgre | lillem4n: the "one per instance" thing has to do with how unity works. You could enable classic mode. | 22:44 |
| rationalOgre | !classic | lillem4n | 22:44 |
| ubottu | lillem4n: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 22:44 |
| rationalOgre | lillem4n: but it will look different. | 22:45 |
| vatts | file editing! i love that | 22:45 |
| * vatts runs away. "NOT!" | 22:45 | |
| vatts | :) | 22:45 |
| blz | vatts: you might be using the wrong OS, then =) | 22:45 |
| vatts | doh? | 22:45 |
| rationalOgre | heh blz | 22:45 |
| lillem4n | blz: Ah, yes. That works... but its really messy to have to do that each time. :/ :/ The launcher is so... natural place to start a new instance. :) | 22:45 |
| vatts | file editing could be also editing .NEFs from camera, which basically is file editing. even if that file is picture. so i kinda hate editing pictures which aren't good out-of-camera :P | 22:46 |
| blz | lillem4n: yean, unity is still fresh. A bit too fresh imo, but whatever. Honestly install synapse and never look back. I hardly touch the mouse now. | 22:46 |
| vatts | just 2c :P | 22:46 |
| lillem4n | rationalOgre: Thanks. :) But I know, just trying to see if I can get unity to work in a "production" environment for me :) | 22:46 |
| m1chael | i upgraded to the latest ubuntu, and now when my ubuntu machine starts, the display is all weird.. as if the refresh isnt working right... its like black and as you move the mouse and drag stuff around- its very trippy.. what could this be??? | 22:46 |
| vatts | ok, gonna boot from CD now | 22:46 |
| rationalOgre | lillem4n: Sorry, didn't know you knew. Yeah, unity is still... *green* | 22:46 |

| lillem4n | rationalOgre: np. Thanks for the help :) I think I'll stick with LTS for my production desktop | 22:47 |
| enjablot | i still havent messed with unity much, its just so awkward feeling for me, coming form gnome | 22:47 |
| keithb | rationalOgre: on 10.04, it looks like rc.local is still run from reading the scripts, I'll try it and see | 22:47 |
| rationalOgre | lillem4n: That's what I'm running. haven't messed with 11.04 yet. | 22:47 |

| Metroshica | that donesn't work, I have no idea why | 23:09 |
| Metroshica | I have already, but on startup it doesn't do anything | 23:10 |
| keithb | Metroshica: probably because sudo can't authenticate when run automatically | 23:10 |
| rationalOgre | Metroshica: even if you make the command "gksudo etherape <options>" | 23:10 |
| Metroshica | So how do I bypass the sudo authentication? | 23:11 |
| rationalOgre | Metroshica: Try it with gksudo | 23:11 |
| silence9 | Is there an alternative to webmin to perhaps undo what I screwed up with Samba for Ubuntu? | 23:11 |

| Metroshica | I'm googling it right now, but I apologize, I'm not familiar with gksudo, any sort of syntax I should know? | 23:11 |
| ZykoticK9_ | rationalOgre, sudo or gksudo both require user input "password" and thus cannot be used as "startup" applications (by default) | 23:11 |

| itilious | the only place i can ubuntu to "See" it is lsusb, but i can't figure out where to actually access it | 23:17 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: type "mount -l" at the command prompt | 23:18 |
| usr13 | spiderr: The NIC will need to be PXE enalbed. | 23:18 |
| usr13 | spiderr: Some NICs just don't do PXE. | 23:18 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: That will give you a list of drives and where they are mounted | 23:18 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: Look for something mounted in /media | 23:19 |
| ZykoticK9_ | rationalOgre, you really should try finding out what camera it is - it may not be supported by automounting (what mount, "might" but I'm guessing won't show) | 23:19 |
| spiderr | usr13, yeah, I have pxe enabled on BIOS and it boots. | 23:19 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, tried that and looked there already, zilch,, | 23:19 |
| spiderr | ' i get this now: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501700 | 23:19 |
| rationalOgre | ZykoticK9_: Just was checking to see if it was there first, if it was, problem solved, if not well then we can go on to figuring out why. | 23:19 |
| usr13 | spiderr: So, have you configured the DHCP server to point to the PXE server? | 23:19 |
| spiderr | yeah. I have other machines on network PXE booting. this is a new ubuntu image. | 23:20 |
| itilious | i really need to get the USB camer to work in winxp, can't i just block or "blacklist" the camera in some way? | 23:20 |
| spiderr | the lights on the mobo nic go out during kernel boot, and never come back | 23:20 |
| hexacode | can someone show me how to sudo a command that is on the right side of a pipe....for example "somecommand | [i need to sudo this command]write user tty7" | 23:21 |
| spiderr | so I am thinking somehow module for eth0 is not loading before the IP-Config call or something? | 23:21 |
| osmodivs_ | Hello. Why can't I open this .exe file in the Terminal? I can open it with a double click in Nautilus, because I already changed permission to be an executable, but I still get this message in the Terminal osmodivs@Djiin:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/booddanet/Half-Life 2$ ./hl2.exe | 23:21 |
| osmodivs_ | bash: ./hl2.exe: cannot execute binary file | 23:21 |
| Nickkkkk | Ohkay. So I looked through the top command in terminal, and it's showing me Xorg is the biggest sucker of all my ram. What exaclty is that, and is it okay to kill it? | 23:21 |
| ZykoticK9_ | hexacode, use "tee", sorry no specifics for ya - but that is the solution | 23:21 |
| hexacode | ok thanks | 23:22 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: So you want it to NOT load in Ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| Random832 | osmodivs_: because bash doesn't know about wine - try "wine ./hl2.exe" | 23:22 |
| Adamfyre | anyone have use osx in a vm with ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: Your sentence is a bit difficult to parse for me, for some reason. | 23:22 |
| Nickkkkk | I've done it Adamfyre. | 23:22 |
| ZykoticK9_ | osmodivs_, it's the spaces. | 23:22 |
| Nickkkkk | It's smoother than it works with windows ;p | 23:22 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, i was trying to understand how ubuntu deals with it, to hopefuly find out how to get it to work in virtualbox | 23:22 |
| Random832 | Nickkkkk: xorg runs the gui... if you kill it you'll only have a full screen command line | 23:23 |
| ZykoticK9_ | osmodivs_, use double quotes around the path | 23:23 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, and i can't even get ubuntu to access the files | 23:23 |
| Random832 | (actually it'll probably restart itself, but your login session will go away and you'll have to log back in) | 23:23 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: try running this "sudo lshw -C disk > disks.txt" | 23:23 |
| ZykoticK9_ | osmodivs_, oh sorry, is that a cd into the directory? | 23:23 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, so my theory is that if i get it to work properly in host, i can get it to pass thru to guest vm | 23:23 |
| Nickkkkk | Oh Random832. | 23:23 |
| Nickkkkk | Guh, then why is my computer so slow! | 23:23 |
| Nickkkkk | It says everything is else is trunning ohkay :/ | 23:23 |
| Random832 | Nickkkkk: try seeing if anything is using the cpu | 23:23 |
| Nickkkkk | Like? | 23:23 |
| ZykoticK9_ | osmodivs_, after the cd, use "wine hl2.exe" | 23:24 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: Makes sense. | 23:24 |
| Nickkkkk | All I ahve open is terminal. | 23:24 |
| Random832 | ....well what tool are you using to check on memory? | 23:24 |
| Nickkkkk | top | 23:24 |
| Random832 | sort it by cpu usage | 23:24 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: Once that command is done run "less disks.txt" and scroll through it, see if you can find the line that deals with the camera. | 23:24 |
| osmodivs_ | wine hl2.exe worked | 23:24 |
| qin | osmodivs_: wine `fine ~ -name hl2.exe` | 23:24 |
| qin | *find | 23:25 |
| osmodivs_ | qin fine? | 23:25 |
| qin | *find | 23:25 |
| Adamfyre | Nickkkkk what did you use for an iso for OSX? | 23:25 |
| Random832 | Nickkkkk: use "O" [uppercase letter o] to get to the list of fields you can sort by | 23:25 |
| Random832 | and sort by %CPU | 23:25 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, nothing related to camera,, and it IS on | 23:25 |
| Nickkkkk | Adamfyre: uhm. stock dvd. | 23:26 |
| Nickkkkk | ohkay Random832. | 23:26 |
| Adamfyre | Nickkkkk gotcha. I have that but it wouldn't boot from it when I tried it last night | 23:26 |
| itilious | rationalOgre, but lsusb still shows it | 23:26 |
| IAmError_ | whats the package name for chromium? | 23:26 |
| rationalOgre | itilious: Ok, what's the make/model of the camera? and what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:26 |
| Nickkkkk | There we go :3 | 23:27 |
| Nickkkkk | Fixed it. | 23:27 |
| Nickkkkk | :P | 23:27 |
| TheMatrix3000 | anyone know how to remove applets using gconf-editor from users | 23:27 |
| Nickkkkk | Thanks for your guys help. | 23:27 |

| osmodivs_ | qin: osmodivs@Djiin:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/booddanet/Half-Life 2$ wine 'find ~ name hl2.exe | 23:28 |
| osmodivs_ | > | 23:28 |
| qin | osmodivs_: No! Use find if you do not want to cd to .wine directory... | 23:29 |
| ZykoticK9_ | itilious, see if photo2 supports your camera model, http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php if it does, install that and give it a try. Best of luck. | 23:29 |
| osmodivs_ | qin, osmodivs@Djiin:~$ wine 'find ~ name hl2.exe | 23:30 |
| osmodivs_ | > | 23:30 |
| qin | osmodivs_: ...otherwise: cd ~/.wine/... (whereever is hl2.exe) and wine hl2.exe (and do not play this silly game, play 1.6) | 23:30 |
| qin | osmodivs_: No ' you need ` (backquote) | 23:30 |
| osmodivs_ | qin, Yeah, wine hl2.exe works fine | 23:30 |
| qin | osmodivs_: Still css is depavation. | 23:31 |
| judget | how do I get lchown or any other method to change opwnership of a symlink? | 23:32 |
| ZykoticK9_ | itilious, also regarding vbox - the ose version in Ubuntu repo doesn't support USB (just an FYI - you need to get it from Oracle directory for USB and VNC support) | 23:33 |

| Corey | dbox-wifi: But why not try it and find out? | 23:39 |
| ZykoticK9_ | blz, that would be really cool - but i've never seen a way to do that. good luck. | 23:39 |
| Acid190 | I finally got the rt28xxsta driver installed and working in 10.10 | 23:39 |
| dbox-wifi | 'cause i don't have any usb drive | 23:39 |
| blz | ZykoticK9: The answer just became obvious to me. i'll have to write a shell script to create and remove the symlinks as drives are connected/disconnected | 23:40 |
| blz | hmm maybe python is better suited for this actually | 23:40 |

| themexbob | hello need help finding /etc/default/grub file to enable fn keys according to several online posts. kernel 2.6.35.8 | 23:46 |
| robin0800 | sburwood1, I found with two hard drives the live cd would only see one of them had to use the alternate cd to see both | 23:46 |
| SlidingHorn | is there a rdesktop specific channel? | 23:47 |
| robin0800 | themexbob, sudo nano /etc/default/grub | 23:47 |
| sburwood1 | robin0800: I tried each hard drive seperately. The 100GB works now that I formatted it, but I haven't found a solution for the 250GB one | 23:48 |
| ZykoticK9_ | robin0800, themexbob NO - not if you're using grub2! you probably are. | 23:48 |
| ZykoticK9_ | themexbob, /etc/default/grub has a line with the default kernel parameters if you need to change something! you need to run update-grub2 after any changes! that that needs to be chrooted. phone | 23:49 |
| robin0800 | ZykoticK9_, that is the file you are supposed to change but not sure there is anything in there about function keys | 23:51 |
| themexbob | ZykoticK9_: file is not located under directory /etc/default/ how can i find file or where can it be if not on default directory... | 23:51 |
| nimbiotics | I need a dvd with some data files (pictures). I was told that in order to create such dvd I just had to add the files to a folder in the root of the dvd so, after creating the iso file with devede; I used ISO master to add such folder and files. The problem is that the resulting iso file was useless; It worked on some dvd players but not in most (2 out of 6 tested). Also, neither totem movie player nor VLC would play the iso fil | 23:52 |
| nimbiotics | e nor the burned dvd with such modified iso; but everything worked fine when I either burned or used the iso file to watch the video(s). Is there a safe way to add the pictures folders to the dvd iso file? and if so, how? TIA!!! | 23:52 |
| ZykoticK9_ | themexbob, robin0800 sorry my bad - you where asking about the correct file originally! my mind just say the old grub file. sorry but as I said run update-grub2 after any changes! | 23:53 |
| ZykoticK9_ | themexbob, what do you mea? are you on a live cd or something? | 23:54 |
| themexbob | tutorial states that replacing line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT will get my fn keys back... | 23:54 |
| ZykoticK9_ | themexbob, what do you want to add to that line? does it say? | 23:54 |
| Lasers | nimbiotics: I found something -- I never used it myself -- but - 8b1085bed498b82ef1485ef19074c281 | 23:55 |
| themexbob | needs to look like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 23:55 |
| Lasers | nimbiotics: "apt-cache search dvd-s" | 23:55 |
| themexbob | all users on the post confirmed setting. | 23:55 |

| Lasers | numique: You should see dvd-slideshow (something). | 23:55 |
| Lasers | Lasers: No. Bad paste. :( | 23:55 |
