| harushimo | anyone the answer to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/629599/ | 00:01 |
| Skaag | Dulak: may very well be! | 00:01 |
| cjaredrun | have you run any updates GWild | 00:01 |
| trism | harushimo: install python3 and run it in the terminal as python3 (the default python will remain because it is needed by other programs) | 00:01 |
| GWild | cjaredrun: I'm running them now | 00:01 |
| cjaredrun | i was thinking maybe an update messed with your x conf, but maybe an update will fix it as well | 00:02 |
| diytto | I pressed ctrl alt f1 and went to tty, but hot do i restart the gui? | 00:02 |
| harushimo | trism: from the ubuntu or python.org? | 00:02 |
| soothsayer | OerHeks: Thanks. However when I run that I get "number of created screen does not match number of detected devices" | 00:02 |
| trism | harushimo: sudo apt-get install python3; | 00:02 |
| GWild | cjaredrun: hope so | 00:02 |
| trism | harushimo: so yes, from the ubuntu repos | 00:02 |
| harushimo | i'll do that. how I start the interpreter? | 00:03 |

| Zelda | It runs in Windows 7 fine. | 00:03 |
| soothsayer | rinkukokiri: sudo mount /dev/DEVICEPARTITION MOUNTPOINT | 00:03 |
| harushimo | perfect | 00:04 |
| rinkukokiri | soothsayer, read my problem again | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | soothsayer, it is a basic xorg, make a backup before you edit . | 00:04 |

| Raikia | Hey, so, I want to install the core OS of ubuntu to a solid state drive, but then have all the programs installed onto a regular harddrive. What folder should I put on the other harddrive? /var? /etc? or what? Where is the CORE OS files that don't really change, vs installed files. | 00:04 |
| rinkukokiri | soothsayer, specifically the "WONT SHOW UP IN SUDO FDISK -L" part | 00:04 |
| leftist | i'm curious that when i look at the filesystem in system monitor it shows free 8.1gib but only available 2.6gib. where are the other gig or how are they allocated? | 00:04 |

| soothsayer | in fact I read fstab and not fdisk | 00:05 |
| d9500 | Raikia, that's going to be difficult with the way *nix scatters the parts of a program all over the various directories. | 00:05 |
| Zelda | The computer doesnt recognize the HDMI hardware. Running Nvidia Quadro 570FX card. | 00:05 |
| rinkukokiri | wow. | 00:06 |
| Raikia | d9500: I figured....is there any hope or not? | 00:06 |
| d9500 | Raikia, /usr, /usr/lib, /bin...those may be some of them. there's a reason it takes a package manager tot track tbhhat stuff | 00:06 |
| d9500 | Raikia, you may want to try somethig like pcbsd or chakra instead. | 00:06 |
| Raikia | hmm...what are those? | 00:06 |
| Raikia | ah | 00:07 |
| Raikia | nvm | 00:07 |

| haddiman | I'm using the Ubuntu live CD to run ClamAV (through ClamTk) on a Windows hard drive. I left it running and when I came back and shook the mouse all I see is a black screen and cursor. I can move the cursor with the mouse and I can get do different consoles by doing "ctrl+alt+f1". The hard drive activity LED is still blinking so I'm pretty sure ClamAV is still running. Is there any way I can get back to the main desktop and to ClamT | 00:23 |
| iceroot | haddiman: ctrl + alt + f7 | 00:23 |
| Nobgul-BNC | NegativeOne, I don't use it because there is no need for me but are you changing settings via ccsm? | 00:24 |
| NegativeOne | i've installed the compiz config manager, and i've tried doing stuff like compiz --replace and unity --reset, but they just crash my computer | 00:24 |
| haddiman | iceroot: yea, all I see is a black screen and the cursor (which I can move) | 00:24 |
| LordXe-gnu | fwiw, once you're in a VC you shouldn't need to press ctrl... just alt+Fn should do it | 00:24 |
| Nobgul-BNC | Can you launch the gui for the ccsm? | 00:24 |
| NegativeOne | Nobgul-BNC, yes I am. It doesn't look like compiz is running though if I do ps -ax | grep compiz | 00:24 |
| LordXe-gnu | only need the ctrl from X | 00:24 |
| iceroot | haddiman: check top if %io is high, then clamav is still running. also why not run clamav from the shell instead from the gui? | 00:25 |

| NegativeOne | Nobgul-BNC, yes I can launch the gui | 00:25 |

| iceroot | saidian: what is it? nfs? cifs? | 00:50 |
| szal | froq: XMMS2 is not a traditional-style player application, it's more like a server, similar to mpd, and needs a client to do the actual playing | 00:51 |
| szal | froq: or, better put, for controlling XMMS2 | 00:51 |
| var9 | yea | 00:51 |
| froq | szal, what client do you recommend?! | 00:52 |
| saidian | iceroot: On the Mac, shared as samba. Was working then broke about a week ago. mount -a gets an "error 22" | 00:52 |
| * szal can't recommend any since he never used XMMS2 | 00:52 | |
| froq | szal, I am @ the website, and it mentions that the install comes with a gtk client (wouldn't this be a GUI client?) | 00:52 |
| termsilv | Hello, is anyone here a software developer :) | 00:53 |
| chrisf | froq: it depends on what you want, but xmms2 is about as different from itunes as you can get ;) | 00:53 |

| krzysz00 | Guys, I have an Nvidia Geoforce 8300. At a random time after boot (either < 3min or a good many hours after), the screen starts flickering black rapidly and there is a nearly-complete system lockup (nearly meaning the only thing that works is the magic SysRq). This happens on both available versions of the driver. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 01:00 |
| iceroot | soreau: reflex, always typing sudo if using apt- | 01:00 |
| soreau | termsilv: I think that is what Jordan_U is trying to help with. What is the name of the package? | 01:00 |
| Jordan_U | Mod-R-Focker: Please choose a more apropriate nick. | 01:00 |

| termsilv | it's called metasploit (I'm sure you've heard of it). I'm using it at-home | 01:01 |
| soreau | ! metasploit | 01:01 |
| iceroot | K1ng`: strange never saw http://bd.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 01:01 |

| NegativeOne | Jordan_U, I don't see the sense in taking up the chat space if nobody is even interested in helping. But since you've taken the initiative... that's basically my question. | 01:02 |
| NegativeOne | I can't get compiz to run, and i'm on 11.04, x64. Everything else is details | 01:02 |
| iceroot | K1ng`: you did not run "sudo apt-get update" | 01:02 |

| ginny | iceroot: thanks for the help | 01:47 |
| rita | hola | 01:47 |
| iceroot | ginny: with other versions it was running? | 01:48 |
| Nobgul-BNC | Rita, do you need ubuntu support? | 01:48 |
| var9 | o one? | 01:48 |
| K1ng | iceroot, can you help me write the etc/network/interfaces... its too confusing | 01:48 |
| var9 | no | 01:48 |
| szal | SoKoBaN: sounds like a wireless module acting up | 01:48 |
| iceroot | K1ng: you can use the examples from there just replace the ips | 01:48 |
| ginny | iceroot: tbh, I'm a ubuntu noob. Just swapped about a week ago. | 01:48 |
| scream | I have Natty, after a recent update, my flash in FireFox four stopped working. | 01:48 |
| iceroot | K1ng: the rest with eth0/1 is ok | 01:48 |
| scream | Any ideas? | 01:48 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: nope | 01:48 |
| iceroot | james_1313: restartet? | 01:49 |
| K1ng | oh ok | 01:49 |
| james_1313 | didnt work | 01:49 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: didnt 3work | 01:49 |
| K1ng | iceroot, bond-slaves eth1 eth2 | 01:49 |
| SoKoBaN | szal: Probably, I am not sure if this is an cause.. | 01:49 |
| iceroot | james_1313: is it a fresh install? or do you have important settings done to gnome? | 01:49 |
| K1ng | eth1 and eth2 will be connected to the internet? | 01:49 |
| rita | my webcam does,nt work......What Can I do?? | 01:50 |
| scream | I have Natty, after a recent update, my flash in FireFox 4 stopped working. Any ideas? | 01:50 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: i read that it might be caused by too much data, and that might be the case (stupid duplicating mistake)... could i mount the drive and erase some of the duplicated files? | 01:50 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: not a fresh install | 01:51 |
| iceroot | K1ng: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinkAggregation this is for eth0/1 | 01:51 |
| iceroot | K1ng: sorry | 01:51 |
| Airris | so can anyone tell how do actually do a nox boot? The !nox reponse is very helpful... for configuring GRUB1. everyone's using grub2 now though | 01:51 |
| iceroot | james_1313: you dont need to mount you can access everything from the shell | 01:51 |
| iceroot | james_1313: let me have a look | 01:51 |
| user_ | how to use rescapp? | 01:52 |
| K1ng | iceroot, no. thanks. :D | 01:52 |
| user_ | hellp | 01:52 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: what do you need to look at? | 01:52 |
| K1ng | iceroot, can i do iface bond0 inet dhcp? | 01:53 |
| iceroot | james_1313: sudo chmod 1777 /tmp/ | 01:53 |
| user_ | can anyone direct me on using rescapp to overwrite the leftover grub from ubuntu | 01:53 |
| iceroot | james_1313: please try that. the next step would be to move your gnome-config | 01:53 |
| virtuoussin13 | I should add that all my music plays just fine... | 01:53 |
| user_ | bump | 01:53 |
| iceroot | K1ng: you are using dhcp at your network? | 01:53 |
| K1ng | iceroot, yes. 2 modem. both of them are dhcp | 01:54 |
| iceroot | K1ng: then its fine | 01:54 |
| K1ng | :D | 01:54 |
| Airris | Ok, so all of a sudden I can't minimize or otherwise control fullscreen windows. none of the commands for minimizing or anything work (alt-tab, alt-F9, alt-click) (Ubuntu 10.04). This didn't used to happen, what'd i break? Someone at least tell me where all the configuration controls for gnome are so i can tinker with them | 01:56 |
| iceroot | Airris: f11 also not working? | 01:56 |
| Airris | iceroot, let me check | 01:56 |
| iceroot | Airris: it will resize the window | 01:57 |
| RJ_F1 | Airris: I know this sounds stupid, but have you restarted? It usually fixes several things | 01:57 |
| Airris | iceroot, no dice | 01:57 |
| Airris | RJ_F1, it's persisted across a couple restarts | 01:57 |
| K1ng | iceroot, http://pastebin.com/6pQijtsH you think its good? | 01:58 |

| dr_willis | well flash is working here in google chrome on 32bit install. on youtube | 02:05 |

| dr_willis | whiter, could be the drivers are installed. but not in use. | 02:08 |

| kakashi | hi , i have a python programme and would like to run it as a daemon on ubuntu ,it must be executed each 5minute. so can i do it without using contabe | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | kakashi, you could make a script that sleeps for 5 min.. runs it.. then loops. yes. | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | but thats not really running as a daemon. | 02:09 |
| aauthor | Yeah, thanks dr_willis... I don't know if it's a bug or what. | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | daemons have other features. | 02:09 |
| dr_willis | aauthor, i tend to use devede | 02:10 |
| renfield33 | iceroot, isn't that just moving it onto itself? | 02:10 |
| iceroot | kakashi: why not cron? | 02:10 |
| iceroot | renfield33: no | 02:10 |

| iceroot | renfield33: its putting it one dir up to its not executed on udev-start | 02:10 |
| renfield33 | ahh... gotcha | 02:10 |
| iceroot | K1ng: :( | 02:10 |
| kakashi | because many time my server is busy so con is no very usefull | 02:10 |
| HDYST | :q | 02:11 |
| iceroot | K1ng: no ssh connection to that host so you can copy and paste? | 02:11 |
| K1ng | iceroot, i am getting only lo | 02:11 |
| bnice | question i installed ubuntu via the alternate installer and cant get it to see the ethernet cord connected to it anyone know how to fix this? | 02:11 |
| K1ng | iceroot, its got no network :( | 02:11 |
| aauthor | dr_willis thanks for the suggestion. | 02:11 |
| dr_willis | whiter, what does jockey-gtk say about it being in use? | 02:11 |
| iceroot | K1ng: you have 3 nics in that pc? 2 connected to modems, on into your lan? | 02:11 |
| kexman | hi | 02:12 |
| hariykeyboard | do I have to logout and run under root in the terminal to perform a tarball backup of my root directory, or can I do it while logged in and running programs? | 02:12 |
| whiter | dr_willis, http://i.imgur.com/jLTR9.png | 02:12 |
| kexman | how could i turn my runnig (lamp + openssh) server to only the bare minimal ? | 02:12 |
| duckx0r | hariykeyboard, are you logged in as root? | 02:13 |
| kakashi | so? | 02:13 |
| iceroot | hariykeyboard: with root-directory you mean /root? | 02:13 |
| K1ng | iceroot, http://pastebin.com/iH9TXZ9Z | 02:14 |
| kakashi | must i do a sleep in the script of d=the daemon???? | 02:14 |
| K1ng | iceroot, no its not connected | 02:15 |
| K1ng | only 1 | 02:15 |
| iceroot | K1ng: then you will have eth0 eth0:1 eth0:2 instead of eth0 eth1 eth2 | 02:15 |
| iceroot | K1ng: eth is always a real device, while eth0:1 is a virtual-device assigned to eth0 | 02:16 |
| K1ng | ah | 02:16 |
| iceroot | K1ng: i dont know if bonding is working on virt-devices | 02:16 |
| iceroot | kakashi: i still dont get why cron is not the solution | 02:16 |
| K1ng | i will connect one more connection to eth0 and eth1 | 02:16 |
| K1ng | i mean 2 connections to them | 02:16 |
| Astriano | hello any1 have a time to guide firs time user of linux? | 02:17 |

| iceroot | !ask | Astriano | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Astriano: 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. :-) | 02:17 |
| kakashi | i dont know really but i try it but i dont get a good result when my server is busy | 02:18 |
| K1ng | iceroot, yes that a typo | 02:18 |
| K1ng | :p | 02:18 |
| iceroot | K1ng: ok | 02:18 |
| iceroot | K1ng: the first step should be to have more then 1 real nic | 02:18 |
| K1ng | what is nic? | 02:19 |
| iceroot | kakashi: */5 * * * * command should do the job doesnt matter what load you have | 02:19 |
| rypervenche | Astriano: 你會中文嗎？ | 02:19 |
| iceroot | kakashi: nic = network interface card | 02:19 |
| iceroot | K1ng: nic = network interface card | 02:19 |
| K1ng | ah | 02:20 |
| K1ng | iceroot, its got 3 nic. | 02:20 |
| K1ng | but only 1 connection | 02:20 |
| iceroot | K1ng: ok eth2 is your lan? | 02:20 |
| sudokill | in my .bashrc i have a little ascii pic that displays when i open the terminal. is there a way to make it coloured ascii? | 02:20 |
| kakashi | ok | 02:20 |
| iceroot | sudokill: #bash | 02:20 |
| kakashi | but if i wont to run it as daemon??? how can i do it | 02:20 |
| K1ng | yes. eth0 and eth1 will be forwarded to eth2 | 02:21 |
| iceroot | K1ng: ok | 02:21 |
| iceroot | K1ng: so first setup eth2 to access the pc from your lan | 02:21 |
| iceroot | K1ng: sudo ifconfig eth2 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0; sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 02:22 |
| iceroot | K1ng: change the ips to your needs | 02:22 |
| K1ng | ok | 02:22 |
| iceroot | K1ng: the second on is your gateway | 02:22 |
| Nobgul-BNC | How do you restart the sound system? I closed a video and now the next one is scratchy? | 02:22 |

| rypervenche | sorry, wrong window | 02:23 |
| Nobgul-BNC | nvm got it ty | 02:23 |
| iceroot | kakashi: my command is not running it as a daemon | 02:23 |
| renfield33 | iceman, seems to be stable over at least 3 reboots, so looks like that fixed it. thank you! | 02:23 |
| iceroot | kakashi: its just starting your programm every 5 minutes | 02:23 |
| renfield33 | or, iceroot (sorry) | 02:23 |
| Astriano | i have download the xmms multimedia player, the file is .gz how do i install iT? | 02:23 |
| Nobgul-BNC | Astriano, thats like a .zip file you need to extract it first | 02:23 |
| iceroot | renfield33: fine. problem is that your bios is not detecting the nics always in the same order and the netrules file is for giving the eth names to the nics and its remembering there mac-adresses | 02:24 |
| iceroot | Astriano: isnt it in the repos? | 02:24 |
| kakashi | ok | 02:24 |

| K1ng | yes | 02:27 |
| esmirlin | hey guys how can i completly remove empathy (even all the configuration i did) | 02:27 |
| esmirlin | ¿? | 02:27 |
| iceroot | K1ng: first step should be to configure eth0,1 and 2 correcxtly without using bonding | 02:27 |
| iceroot | K1ng: that is a good base for further steps i guess | 02:27 |
| K1ng | ok | 02:27 |
| iceroot | esmirlin: maybe there is a dir called ~/.emphany ? that you have to delee | 02:28 |
| iceroot | esmirlin: also using "sudo apt-get remove --purge emphany" | 02:28 |
| iceroot | K1ng: i have to sleep now :( | 02:28 |
| K1ng | ok | 02:29 |
| K1ng | good night :) | 02:29 |
| rypervenche | Astriano: Check your private messages. | 02:29 |
| esmirlin | iceroot, thanks hotty!^^ | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | esmirlin, apt-get will NOT remove the users config files in their home dir. | 02:30 |
| tech7 | hey, i know that this sounds crazy, but i'm trying to create a custom launcher for my terminal.. what do i use for the command???/ | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | tech7, to do what exactly? | 02:30 |
| esmirlin | dr_willis, so? | 02:30 |
| tech7 | just open a terminal??? | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | esmirlin, 'even all the configuration i did' -> wjhat do you mean by that | 02:30 |
| dr_willis | tech7 gnome-terminal is the default terminal command. | 02:31 |
| tech7 | cool, thanks dr_willis | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | tech7, you should be able to drag/drop it from the menu to the desktop | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | or from panel to desktop. or somehow. | 02:31 |
| tech7 | i'm trying to make a keyboard shortcut on my xfce interface | 02:31 |
| dr_willis | xfce uses xfterm or xfterminal by default | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | You can use any of the terminal apps you want. | 02:32 |
| esmirlin | dr_willis, like all the folders and all configuration, as if i never installed it | 02:32 |
| tech7 | yeah, but the default xfterm really kinda stinks.. i like using the gnome better.. | 02:32 |
| dr_willis | esmirlin, apt-get handles system config and system files. Not users home/personal configs.. if you need to erase those. You will need to find them and delete them by hand | 02:33 |
| dr_willis | xfce dosenthave the drag/drop support i think.. one of the reasons i dont care much for xfce | 02:33 |
| esmirlin | dr_willis, yes i know, but don't know where they are | 02:33 |
| tech7 | thanks lovely people.. you all have a happy father's day | 02:33 |
| tech7 | yeah, i like standard gnome much better, but i'm using a computer at work and i have to use virtualbox to run ubuntu of this machine.. since we 'exclusively' use windows software here | 02:34 |
| RJ_F1 | tech7:consider liveCD | 02:35 |
| Nounou | TrD | 02:36 |
| hiexpo | sup | 02:37 |
| tech7 | i've got plenty live cds.. but i need to keep the windows 7 running for other reasons.. i just boot up my virtualbox when it's time for me to get down to business :) | 02:37 |
| dr_willis | esmirlin, you will have to exolore the various .XXXX files and dirs then in your home | 02:37 |
| tech7 | thanks guys | 02:37 |

| franklyn | hi | 02:39 |
| afaty | Hello, everyone, in ubuntu, how to check on the situation of runlevel services? | 02:39 |
| dr_willis | afaty, the service command. | 02:40 |
| dr_willis | im not sure if the old sysv commands even work properly these days. | 02:40 |
| arooni-mobile | hi folks; getting a new lenovo t420 with 500gb hard drive. wondering whats the best way to do ubuntu install it? should i dual boot? does windows 7 take up a lot of space? | 02:42 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, if you are lucky,. then windows wont be taking up 4 primary partitions like ive seen several new machines come with these days.. that can make installing linux a real pain. | 02:42 |
| olskolirc | ubuntu for ppc anyone? | 02:42 |
| afaty | How to use the command runlevel services on the situation? like redhat chkconfig - list | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, use win7 to resize the hard drive partitions. leave part of the HD unallocated. and let ubuntu install to the unallocated space. | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | olskolirc, every time ive ever used ppc linux. its always been very lacking. | 02:43 |
| dr_willis | afaty, the service command has a list option | 02:43 |
| arooni-mobile | dr_willis, how much space will i need to give to win7? i only want to boot into for a few apps; and wont fill upstorage | 02:43 |
| olskolirc | got a link dr_willis ? | 02:43 |
| tonyyarusso | arooni-mobile: 50GB would be reasonable. | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, no idea. if you are resizeing the windows partitions - it will depend on whats on it now. | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | !ppc | 02:44 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 02:44 |
| afaty | Example you can？ | 02:44 |
| dr_willis | afaty, service --help | 02:44 |
| arooni-mobile | tonyyarusso, and dr_willis ; i think if ihave a 500gb drive; its reasonable to keep 50gb of it for win7 ... seems useful? | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, my current laptop has 2 500gb hd's in it. :) | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | it all deopens on what you are doing in windows. | 02:45 |
| arooni-mobile | dr_willis, did you get rid of the cd drive? | 02:45 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, nope.. its a beast of a laptop | 02:45 |
| [an]droidman | arooni-mobile: i run xp with 30 gb for exactly the same reason | 02:46 |
| [an]droidman | only use 20 gb of it | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | i did not even realize it had a slot for a 2nd hd untill i got it home. :) | 02:46 |
| dr_willis | a 'preinstalled windows 7' proberly has a lot of cruft you can remove also.. then theres the system-restore partions and other disk wasters | 02:46 |
| afaty | I did not mean | 02:47 |
| arooni-mobile | dr_willis, what do youhave? | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, toshiba X505 | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | its a back breaker | 02:47 |
| arooni-mobile | dr_willis, luckily win 7 home doesnt come with system restore:0 | 02:47 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, the laptop makers proberly have some restore partitons on it. | 02:47 |
| arooni-mobile | so generally it seems wise not to completely wipe the win7 stuff off thedrive | 02:48 |
| arooni-mobile | when installing ubuntu | 02:48 |
| tonyyarusso | *probably | 02:48 |
| afaty | I mean how through the command / etc / rc.d / rc *. d / S * under the service. | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, these days - with a new laptop - i often buy a new HD when i get it and clone the original to the new one.. and keep the original 'safe' :) | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, that way when i give/sell the laptop. i just swap the hd back. | 02:48 |
| dr_willis | in this case.. i found out i had space for both hd's when i got home. | 02:48 |
| afaty | ls /etc/rc*.d/S* | 02:49 |
| afaty | like this | 02:49 |
| arooni-mobile | dr_willis, smart man; cuz i totally wiped the hard drive ofmy t61 including windowspartitions | 02:49 |
| arooni-mobile | so selling it = more difficult | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | afaty, you are not beinv very clear.. you can use 'ls -R ' if thats what you want. | 02:49 |
| twobitsprite | in winetricks, when you say you want to install a game, is there a way to point it to the installer you already downloaded instead of having it re-download the installer? | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | or was it ls -r | 02:49 |
| dr_willis | twobitsprite, winetricks homepage/forum may know. or the wine channel.. ive never tried its 'install a game option' yet. | 02:50 |
| dr_willis | twobitsprite, or let it start to download.. see where its downloading to. stop it.. copy game file over to that location | 02:50 |
| twobitsprite | dr_willis: you know where the wine channel is? there's noone in #wine | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | !wine | 02:51 |
| ubottu | 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 | 02:51 |
| afaty | I want in ubuntu view like redhat "chkconfig -- list" , the same output results. | 02:51 |
| LordXe-gnu | maybe #winehq? | 02:51 |
| dr_willis | afaty, you will proberly have to write your own script then if you wan t output exactly like the redhat commands. | 02:52 |
| twobitsprite | dr_willis: thanks | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | afaty, i doubt if many people in here even know what that output looks like. | 02:52 |

| mrapple | hello everyone, quick question... i have a user that has a running screen that i want multiple administrators to be able to resume at any time... so first they login as the user (sudo -iu username) and then they type screen -r, however, upon typing screen -r the error "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/12' - please check" appears. (sometimes its 12, or 2, or 3) any help on this one? | 02:52 |
| dr_willis | is redhat using Upstart yet? i recall some other big disrtos planning on switching to it. | 02:52 |
| afaty | O, thank you. | 02:52 |
| arooni-mobile | so if i dual boot; is there a way to have it autopick ubuntu on startup? | 02:53 |
| mrapple | this recommends opening up /dev/pts/12 to the world (chmod 777) http://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/screen-fails-with-cannot-open-your-terminal-devptsx-please-check/ | 02:53 |
| mrapple | but i have a feeling theres a beter, more secure way | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | mrapple, you want several users to connect to the same screen session? at the same time. I thought theres a screen option to do that. | 02:53 |
| dr_willis | actually same user connecting from diffent locations to the same session isent it.. | 02:54 |
| mrapple | no | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | arooni-mobile, grub will defauilt to ubuntu | 02:54 |
| mrapple | it doesnt have to be at the same time | 02:54 |
| mrapple | (they will run screen -dr, so it will detach other sessions) | 02:54 |
| dr_willis | mrapple, thats how screen normally works.. im not sure what would be the issue.. unless the sudo -iu is causing some issues.. try direct logging in as the user. or try 'login username' perhaps as a test | 02:55 |
| mrapple | forgot about the login command, thanks, will try! | 02:56 |
| dr_willis | old skool :) | 02:57 |

| Lawlcat | Quick question! I'm running a simple minecraft server and I'd like to be able to create an account (or two) for someone to be able to SSH into the box, run a specific set of scripts (such as a restart script) and that's it. The script would have to kill the current running process of the minecraft server and then execute a ./start.sh, but how could I do this without granting each user admin/root access? | 03:16 |
| soreau | whiter: Well who knows what the problem is now | 03:16 |
| whiter | i'm pretty sure running it as root did nothing to it.. as it didn't even open | 03:17 |
| whiter | and this was the first time i did that.. it wasn't working before either | 03:17 |
| napster | Is it possible to install the latest single window gimp on ubuntu 11.04? I mean gimp version 2.7 or something like that... | 03:18 |

| termsilv | kev009, what is a backport kernel :) | 03:33 |
| rypervenche | kev009: Yes, you will need a specific PPA for that. I forgot the name though. | 03:33 |
| termsilv | (i am learning) | 03:33 |
| kev009 | termsilv: sorry, backport is debian terminology I guess | 03:33 |
| rypervenche | kev009: Debian high-five! (on Debian Testing) | 03:34 |
| soreau | kev009: What is not working correctly? | 03:34 |
| improveupon | does anyone here use p2p for anything other than torrents? | 03:34 |

| Wildinc | kev009: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa | 03:36 |
| Wildinc | improveupon: What do you mean, torrenting is a form of p2p | 03:36 |
| hamnegga | Is it possible to download a dependency to a directory where your compiling an application and then remove it, so it isn't installed but found by configure? | 03:36 |
| soreau | james_1313: You would need to mount the partition rw (read/write) and have permissions to access the file system (if ext*) | 03:36 |
| james_1313 | iceroot: I am booted into a live USB and I need to delete items from a mounted partition that says I dont have permission to edit it. anyone help me please? | 03:36 |
| kev009 | soreau: likely, no problem on RHEL6 (they do crazy things to their .32, it's that kernel only in name and long term compat) | 03:36 |
| soreau | james_1313: What command is giving you what error? (pastebin it) | 03:37 |
| improveupon | sorry, let me change that to any protocol mldonkey uses other than bittorrent | 03:37 |
| james_1313 | soreau: i dont know how to do it in command line, im using the gui filesystem.... | 03:37 |
| soreau | james_1313: What operation are you trying to perform? | 03:38 |
| james_1313 | soreau: i have a partition that is full and I cant boot into it. when I try to login it goes to the recovery boot screen and then loops me back when I try to log in. the problem, i think, is that the partition is way to full of stuff (a mistake on my part, duplicating files) | 03:39 |
| james_1313 | soreau: so i am booted into a live usb and trying to remove files so i can get in | 03:40 |
| Wildinc | Starminn try and change the setting using HDA Analyzer | 03:40 |
| soreau | james_1313: Use 'mount' to see where your partition is mounted, then use 'sudo rm /path/to/mount/point/file/you/want/to/delete' | 03:41 |

| Wildinc | Starminn: I have had the same issue but i was using an Intel sound card and the fix was to play with settings in the HDA Anyaliser. As for creative sound cards i have no clue.... Sorry | 04:01 |

| mikeru | I click an ISO | 04:31 |
| mikeru | it mounts | 04:31 |
| mikeru | but sometimes it's empty | 04:31 |
| Starminn | richard_: Why not try GNOME3 on 11.04 as opposed ot Unity if Unity is what you are having problems with | 04:31 |
| mikeru | (I think that might be related to ISOs with HFS filesystems though) | 04:32 |

| astraljava | babu__: Options | Language Settings | Languages ? If that doesn't work, then I wouldn't know. | 05:34 |
| babu__ | it doesn't work | 05:36 |
| astraljava | AQuintero: Doubt there's any general reason for that. Probably depends on the protocol used, and some problems in that creating connection to the server. Without any further information, impossible to tell. | 05:36 |
| astraljava | babu__: How it doesn't work? Were you able to select a language? If yes, then what happens? Please elaborate, cannot help with just "it doesn't work". | 05:37 |

| astraljava | midwinter_: There's a good page for that. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 05:46 |

| midwinter_ | a bunch of tildes | 05:47 |
| midwinter_ | so I can't add the line I need to add | 05:47 |
| midwinter_ | tried vi, nano and gedit | 05:47 |
| rypervenche | midwinter_: You'll see those tildas if you're using vi/vim | 05:49 |
| midwinter_ | ryper: how can I get the file to open up so I can add the line? | 05:49 |
| axilla- | man, why do i always have such a hard time coming up with new things to code! | 05:50 |
| astraljava | midwinter_: sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-conf | 05:50 |
| astraljava | Err... sorry, alsa-base.conf | 05:50 |
| astraljava | midwinter_: But use nano if you're not comfortable with vim | 05:50 |
| midwinter_ | k | 05:50 |
| axilla- | don't use nano. | 05:51 |
| axilla- | use vim and get comfortable with it | 05:51 |
| axilla- | you will be glad you did later on. | 05:51 |
| astraljava | Agreed, it's a journey, but a great one at that. :) | 05:51 |
| AQuintero | astraljava: yes ... I was thinking the same ... it could be a problem with the connection to the "Facebook" or "MSN"'s protocol ... but there is something weird, I close VirtualBox and it worked ... I'm gonna test again ... | 05:51 |
| axilla- | thats just my .02... VIM is super confusing at first.. but once you learn to harness its power.. you will learn to love it. | 05:51 |
| rypervenche | midwinter_: You can learn vim by installing "vim" then typing "vimtutor" in a terminal. | 05:52 |
| midwinter_ | woot! | 05:52 |
| midwinter_ | nano worked | 05:52 |
| midwinter_ | let me reboot and see if that did the trick | 05:52 |

| edbian | jkbrntot: Does that happen in certain folders only or any folder? | 06:03 |

| velofille | bazhang, sorry, i was getting there :) | 06:32 |
| velofille | so anyone know of any bugs or problems or help on debugging? | 06:34 |
| velofille | i personally think its related to touchpad, never happens when im not using it. and usually happens when im using the touchpad | 06:35 |

| fisken_ | entel: when i try attatching to pts/1, it thinks i mean 'pts', i don't understand how to do it | 06:41 |
| elssha | so it's not 'real' unity, right? I really don't like it in the new version | 06:42 |
| elssha | I need to know how big a difference on power the netbook ed makes | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | elssha: didn't know there was a netbook Lucid. Netbook editions usually optomize for smaller screens and can have funky UIs. Under the hood is the same | 06:42 |

| amit | I had only Ubuntu | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Amit: there is. What do you think loads your OS? | 06:46 |
| minibnz | ahh right at the start you should be able to press escape just after your bios has done the memory test | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Amit: hold shift at boot and choose memtest there | 06:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Karrot2: what activities do you do remotely. Files can be securely accessed via sftp and may apps have webui | 06:51 |
| elssha | so what I need is the OS that will give me better bat life | 06:52 |
| nexace_ | is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar? | 06:52 |
| karrot2 | ActionParsnip: I want to type through the netbook keyboard and have it interpreted as what I'm typing at the server | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | josh__: what make and model system (if it has one). You should use that instead of "my tower", its more exact | 06:53 |
| josh__ | last try. im running ubuntu 11.04 and audio is coming out of both my tower and my monitor. how do i turn off the audio coming out of the tower? | 06:53 |
| josh__ | lenovo thinkcentre m57 | 06:54 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: if you use netbook, you can try default install. if too slow use unity 2d or ubuntu classic. actually i dont think you'll miss too much if you just use vanilla 10.04 rather than the netbook edition. They just look different and just depends on preference | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Karrot2: you can use ssh for that and console in securely | 06:54 |
| elssha | so no diff as far as battery life? | 06:54 |
| jkbrntot | also unity has some window resizing thing that sometimes gets rid of the top bars/panels to give you more screen space | 06:54 |
| elssha | i assumed the netbook ed would be suited to extend it | 06:55 |
| * elssha dislikes unity anyway | 06:55 | |
| karrot2 | ActionParsnip: with a gui though? | 06:55 |
| nexace_ | is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar? | 06:55 |

| elssha | what's LXDE? | 06:56 |
| b44 | only root can change owner and gid of a file ??? | 06:56 |
| nexace_ | no | 06:56 |
| b44 | also owner ? | 06:56 |
| nexace_ | b44: depends on permissions | 06:56 |
| nexace_ | b44: and group | 06:56 |
| FourDollars | elssha: http://www.lxde.org/ | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | elssha: an alternative to gnome, uses less cpu power | 06:56 |
| jkbrntot | clr: video driver? | 06:57 |
| b44 | nexace_: permissions are rwxrwx--- | 06:57 |
| karrot2 | ActionParsnip: I have a computer with all my movies and stuff on it with a humongous screen, I wanna control it with my netbook and I use a mouseless window manager, so I wanna easily control it from my netbook | 06:57 |
| nexace_ | b44: and what are you trying to do ? | 06:57 |
| elssha | does it still support all the programs ubuntu does? | 06:57 |
| clr | jkbrntot: I forget how to print that out | 06:58 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: you'll still be using ubuntu... desktop is different | 06:58 |
| b44 | nexace_: these are my permissions: -rwxrwx--- 1 me me 233 20. Jun 07:57 subscriber.php ; and chown me:www-data subscriber.php gives error: permission denied | 06:58 |
| josh__ | im running ubuntu 11.04 and audio is coming out of both my tower and my monitor. how do i turn off the audio coming out of the tower? | 06:58 |
| rallias | Is there an available localhost DNS server that is suitable for single person use and automatically updates when the hints file is changed? | 06:58 |
| elssha | i meant in lxde thing | 06:58 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there , I need to set the speed of eth0 to 10Mbps fixed , HOW ? | 06:58 |
| MagusOTB | xgt001: In my experience, it's easier to just convince yourself that you don't need to. | 06:58 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: yes | 06:58 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: i believe lubuntu is lxde | 06:59 |
| elssha | oh, okay | 06:59 |
| nexace_ | b44: try: chgrp www-data ./subscriber | 06:59 |
| elssha | so (if i wanted to) i could run compiz and other frills on it? | 06:59 |
| b44 | nexace_: permission denied, too | 07:00 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: but since there are differences so cant expect everything to work as is, but repos would be there | 07:00 |
| nexace_ | b44: might just have to sudo | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Karrot2: vlc has a great http interface. Xbmc also has one with phone apps which you can use to control it. I use the vlc option personally and tell the pc what to play from my android phone | 07:00 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: lxde is about being light... you probably could run frills.. but if you want to do that just use gnome | 07:00 |
| nexace_ | is it possible to act as my own nameserver for my domain name? i mean, is it ok to run bind9 and point my domain name server entries to my own server through my registrar? | 07:01 |
| b44 | nexace_: as root it works .... but I want to allow it to users ....? | 07:01 |
| elssha | just checking | 07:01 |
| hamnegga | anyone know how I can have a script issue a carraige return for authentication? I have an svn update that I'm automating and it needs to be supplied an empty password for 'guest'. I've tried echo "\r" and echo, and echo "\n", but they're not working... | 07:01 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: :) | 07:01 |
| nexace_ | b44: is "me" part of www-data? | 07:01 |
| elssha | i do have a bit of a sweet tooth for eyecandy and making another user for when i'm on battery so that I can enjoy my desktop cube, etc would be a plus | 07:02 |
| b44 | nexace_, no | 07:02 |
| nexace_ | b44: usermod -G www-data me | 07:02 |
| nexace_ | b44: then try it | 07:02 |
| nexace_ | b44: sorry, sudo that usermod | 07:02 |
| elssha | side Q; If i have a 64bit win 7 installed should I install the 64bit linux os or does it make not difference? | 07:02 |
| Flannel | b44, nexace_: NO, dont' do that. | 07:03 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: yeah you can choose your desktop manager from login screen | 07:03 |
| nexace_ | Flannel: why not? | 07:03 |
| b44 | :D | 07:03 |
| Flannel | nexace_, b44: Because it'll remove him from all other secondary groups (you forgot -a) | 07:03 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: how much memory you have? | 07:03 |
| b44 | ...... | 07:03 |
| Flannel | b44, nexace_: "useradd me www-data" is much safer and easier too, for that matter. | 07:04 |
| elssha | 2gig ram; 320gig HD | 07:04 |
| Flannel | (that adds user "me" to group "www-data" | 07:04 |
| nexace_ | Flannel: usermod has always been the traditional groupadd mod | 07:04 |
| viruxINf3ct3d | hi everyone | 07:05 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: 64 bit programs usually use more memory and hard drive space. You can install either 32 bit or 64 bit if your processor supports it. Since you have 2 gig ram, 32 bit should be good. 64bit for 4gb mem and up | 07:05 |
| viruxINf3ct3d | pls how can i connect my zte usb modem to ubuntu? any idea pls | 07:05 |
| b44 | A file-owner can only set chgroup of the owned file to groups which the owner is a member of ?? | 07:05 |
| Flannel | nexace_, b44: err sorry, adduser, not useradd. | 07:05 |
| Flannel | nexace_: You can use usermod, but you have to make sure you use it correctly. Use of usermod is discouraged in favor of adduser. (see the manpage for adduser for evidence of this, first paragraph of description) | 07:06 |
| elssha | this thing came with 64bit win 7; thus my Q | 07:06 |
| elssha | probably also why it still lags a bit when I tired to run 1080 youtube on it in performance mode -_-; | 07:06 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: maybe it's memory can be upgraded to 4GB | 07:07 |
| jkbrntot | *its | 07:07 |
| elssha | nope | 07:07 |
| nexace_ | Flannel: i'll check it out, but that said, usermod has never failed me | 07:07 |
| nexace_ | Flannel: you are correct on the -a however for append | 07:07 |
| Flannel | nexace_: Sure, except you were just going to remove b44's ability to sudo. ;) | 07:07 |
| Flannel | nexace_: adduser is much safer, and you don't have to remember a bunch of switches | 07:07 |
| nexace_ | Flannel: roger | 07:08 |
| viruxINf3ct3d | pls how can i connect my zte usb modem to ubuntu? any idea pls | 07:08 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: k... only way to know for sure is to try it out. but use 32 bits first | 07:08 |
| viruxINf3ct3d | hav google n found various response but none worked | 07:08 |
| swelter | hello, ubuntu. i'm pretty new to the linux command line - is there anyone out there who can tell me how to pipe the contents of a file found with locate into less, instead of piping the path to that file into less? | 07:09 |
| elssha | good to know, ty | 07:09 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: :) | 07:10 |
| elssha | http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LU.SFT02.082 << that one | 07:10 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: pretty good netbook | 07:12 |
| minibnz | does anyone know where ubuntu keeps the list of printers that have been connected BUT NOT INSTALLED is kept? | 07:12 |
| nexace_ | what is a printer? | 07:12 |
| Mindspider | Hey | 07:13 |
| zeroedout | nexace_:uh oh, is wikipedia down? ;) | 07:13 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Does anyone know if there is a Wacom room for Linux? I've got a pen & touch and want the touch portion shut off so my hand doesn't keep messing things up .. | 07:13 |
| minibnz | nexace_ a printer is a thing that marks paper.. | 07:13 |
| Mandrew | lol | 07:13 |
| Mindspider | Can somebody help me please? I updated from 10.10 to 11.04 and now .avi files hosted on divx websites won't play in the browser, media player or VLC. | 07:13 |
| nexace_ | oh one of those things, i didnt know people still used paper | 07:13 |
| Flannel | swelter: "cat $(locate whatever) | less" or you could just "less $(locate whatever)" | 07:14 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Mindspider: did you re-install the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 07:14 |
| minibnz | MindSpider look at gstreamer codecs | 07:14 |
| NineTeen67Comet | and the libdvdcss2 stuff .. | 07:14 |
| Mindspider | Nope. Is that needed for an upgrade? | 07:14 |
| Mindspider | I assumed it would stay. I don't remember ever having to do it before. | 07:14 |
| minibnz | it could have been turned off in the upgrade | 07:14 |
| elssha | it's going to be my only comp for 2months | 07:14 |
| minibnz | they live in the restricted group | 07:14 |
| swelter | flannel: awesome, thanks a lot! been trying all kinds of combinations to make that work | 07:15 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Mindspider: since they aren't part of the normal package Ubuntu will often times disable the extras stuff; install the stock stuff and leave it to you to update the restricted stuff .. | 07:15 |
| elssha | so i need it to last all day but still be able to enjoy working on when plugged it | 07:15 |
| sudharsh | hey folks, I am trying to install centos guest on a ubuntu host using kvm. Problem is I don't have X installed on the host and starting the console seems to freeze up | 07:15 |
| Mindspider | It says it's there and at the latest version | 07:15 |
| elssha | and satisfy my need for looking good while doing it >_> | 07:15 |
| === semitones_tea is now known as semitones | ||
| minibnz | Mindspider look at your repo's with synaptic and turn them on.. | 07:15 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Anybody play with the Wacom stuff yet? I've got the wacom tablet tool; but it's not working .. the tablet works fine; just want to shut down the touch portion so only my pen tool works .. | 07:16 |
| Mindspider | minibnz: I can't. If I go to settings, repositories is greyed out. | 07:16 |
| Mandrew | NineTeen67Comet did you look at wacoms web site for linux rivers? | 07:17 |
| elssha | is there a place where i can find out more about lubuntu ( i read the wiki)... want to know if i can install all the prorgrams I can in ubuntu (and if it has synaptic, etc) | 07:18 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Mandrew: rodger that .. it's working fine; just need some fine tune stuff .. | 07:18 |
| jamey12 | I used scalpel, which filled my hard drive with files I cant see and now I have no disk space. can anyone help me figure this out? (related: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1421892&page=1) | 07:18 |
| velofille | jkbrntot, nope it did not happen in previous versions. Only started with Natty. I am debating installing debian or an older ubuntu to take hardware out of the equation | 07:18 |
| velofille | sorry for delay, i was cooking and eating dinner :) | 07:18 |
| Mandrew | NineTeen67Comet ok | 07:18 |
| elssha | jamey12 did you try ctrl+h ? | 07:19 |
| minibnz | MindSpider is there a picture of a padlock on that window? you may have to click that and enter password | 07:19 |
| NineTeen67Comet | Mandrew: I'll keep on Googlin' .. most of the time I'll figure it out .. just been messing with this one since 11.04 popped .. | 07:19 |
| jamey12 | elssha: what do you mean? | 07:19 |
| thunder1212 | hi | 07:19 |
| velofille | wow, linux has gui things for undelete now ? neato | 07:19 |
| pinkfox | how do i use the terminal as root? (not sure what that means) but i need to do something that requires root access. | 07:19 |
| elssha | go into folder where it made the invisible files; hit ctrl key and h | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | !sudo | pinkfox | 07:20 |
| ubottu | pinkfox: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 07:20 |
| Mindspider | Minibnz: Got it working. For some reason it didn't ask me for a password as usual and I assumed I'd already entered it. | 07:20 |
| Mandrew | NineTeen67Comet hope you find some easy fix for it :) | 07:20 |
| elssha | idk if it will work for that but it's how you can see hidden files in ubuntu | 07:20 |
| minibnz | MindSpider sweet.. | 07:20 |
| pinkfox | thank you | 07:20 |
| NineTeen67Comet | pinkfox: you can use sudo (just like you'd do with your normal terminal) .. sudo aptitude install gimp .. for instance .. If you need true su .. you might want to know what you are doing a little more .. you can really do some damage with su .. | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | jamey12: Files you can't see? | 07:20 |
| Mindspider | minibnz: Now what do I do? | 07:21 |
| velofille | jamey12, you need to find the files, they are probably in a hidden directory | 07:21 |
| jamey12 | jordan_u: i tried ctrl+h but cant find them | 07:21 |
| velofille | ls -a will show hidden directories or files, but du will show the size of the directorues | 07:21 |
| minibnz | MindSpider do you see the restricted repo's there unchecked? | 07:21 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: ubuntu / linux is good at that. it uses only necessary CPU... keeps things minimal... you'll probably dual boot windows and ubuntu? so you'll have an alternative if one OS goes down | 07:21 |
| elssha | yes | 07:22 |
| Airris | using 10.04 - metacity. The window manager seems to be ignoring all global shortcuts while in fullscreen mode. It didn't used to do this. The ability to minimize/alt+tab a fullscreen app is kinda useful, how can i fix things? | 07:22 |
| elssha | but i still don't want to install lubuntu then find out it doesn't have what i need, format the partition and install ubuntu | 07:22 |
| tobych | how can i add a user using a non-interactive command? | 07:22 |
| tobych | with a password, i mean | 07:23 |
| velofille | jamey12, you will probably need to be root to delete those also | 07:23 |
| jamey12 | you guye are the best | 07:23 |
| jamey12 | thank you SO MUCH | 07:23 |
| elssha | i have to have this fixed and sorted and then I gotta transfer all the files etc before friday | 07:23 |
| Mindspider | minibnz: I rechecked everything that was unchecked. None of them say "Restricted" in the name | 07:23 |
| velofille | jamey12, did you find them? | 07:23 |
| jamey12 | velofille: finally yes, thank you so much | 07:23 |
| jkbrntot | velofille: sounds delicious. im gonna go eat now.. made me hungry... | 07:24 |
| velofille | jkbrntot, it was actually - nachos complete with bacon, sour cream, cheese, etc | 07:24 |
| velofille | jamey12, where did it put them ? | 07:24 |
| elssha | i'll be happy with desktop cube (eyecandy wise), or at least a way that pressing ctrl+alt+-> cycles the desktops (vs stopping at last desktop and making me backtrack) | 07:24 |
| jkbrntot | velofille: yeah trying another kernel or distro or version would narrow it down | 07:25 |
| jamey12 | im my home folder, the ls -a worked and i rm -r 'ed them | 07:25 |
| velofille | sweetbix | 07:25 |
| velofille | jkbrntot, its the whole ass of backing it all up and reinstalling - im so lazy :) | 07:25 |
| velofille | mind you, not going to use encrypted folders next time, that will be a bonus to loose | 07:26 |
| lawltoad | i just ran an update and grub now segfalts!!!!! | 07:26 |
| pinkfox | how do i install a .tar.bz2 package? | 07:26 |
| jkbrntot | velofille: yeah... install on another partition (still need to backup)? try liveCD? liveUSB? | 07:26 |
| velofille | why i chose to opt for 'yes' i dont know. but i couldnt use half my files because the filename was too lo | 07:26 |
| velofille | long | 07:26 |
| velofille | i have 2 hdds in my laptop, both 620gb or so | 07:26 |
| velofille | maybe 640gb? bucketloads anyway | 07:27 |
| velofille | i can squish it into one hdd though just, so ill rsync it all to sdb | 07:27 |
| Jordan_U | !details | lawltoad | 07:28 |
| ubottu | lawltoad: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:28 |
| jkbrntot | velofille: choose yes? you mean the upgrade? also doing a clean install (of 11.04) fixes some of the bugs. lucky you have lots of hdd space on hand | 07:28 |
| Joseto | Hello, can someone help me with JACK control? | 07:29 |
| lawltoad | Jordan_U, ubottu , sorry I'm running 10.10 and i recently ran update manager after maybe a month... one of the updates is for grub2... during it it said that grub2 failed and in the details tab it segfaulted .... runnin ggrub-install /dev/sda (my only hd) segfaults. under dmesg i get this line: grub-probe[22571]: segfault at 0 ip 0022c498 sp bfc8471c error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so. googleing has not turned up anything for me | 07:30 |
| velofille | jkbrntot, on the 2nd install of kubuntu i opted 'yes' for encrypted home dirs, but ended up not being able to use some of my files due to long filenames | 07:30 |
| velofille | jkbrntot, 256chars is the limit, but if you have 36 chars and encrypt it, it makes it a whole lot longer, so reduces file name char limit | 07:30 |
| velofille | i had ebooks i was unable to copy onto the encrypted homedir :/ | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | lawltoad: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo grub-install --debug /dev/sda" and the full output of "dmesg"? | 07:31 |
| dijonyummy123 | any linux tool that can mount a dmg file | 07:31 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: on regular 10.04 if you enable effects, you can use the SUPER (windows) key and tab to flip through your open programs | 07:31 |
| jkbrntot | velofille: ah complexities... good to know, tnx for sharing | 07:32 |
| velofille | dijonyummy123, mount will mount it - use -o loop | 07:32 |
| Joseto | How is it that you erase the fire? | 07:32 |
| velofille | dijonyummy123, actually i may be wrong on that, but it should work | 07:32 |
| elssha | my big thing is to flip desktops, not programs, and one of the things that killed 11.04 for me was that with the wall, once you went to the far left you had to jump back vs just going left once more to be on the far right | 07:33 |
| jkbrntot | elssha: ah you mean workspaces... | 07:33 |
| velofille | dijonyummy123, :~$ mount -t hfs -o loop myImage.dmg /macdisk | 07:33 |
| Reign_ | Among the various problems of my Ubuntu, I am having memory/running issues with Celestia. Its a decent hard drive with 3 gig ram. And Ubuntu. It doesn't run right by itself. How do I check comp speed and such? | 07:34 |
| elssha | yup | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | velofille: dijonyummy123: It would be -t hfsplus, and -t is rarely usefull as if it's going to work at all the filesystem will most likely be able to be detected automatically. | 07:34 |
| elssha | reign system monitor | 07:35 |
| velofille | Jordan_U, im old school, i still use ps -aux :P | 07:35 |
| Reign_ | elssha: looking at it, don't understand it yet | 07:35 |
| elssha | it has tabs up top | 07:35 |
| velofille | speaking of old school, does anyone still remember isapnp ? | 07:35 |
| Reign_ | elssha: 100% memory usage. Uhm, very confused | 07:35 |
| elssha | what do you want to knwo? | 07:36 |
| elssha | know* | 07:36 |
| Reign_ | elssha: how does a Ubuntu program require that much? it doesn't look that fancy. | 07:36 |
| dijonyummy123 | thanks! | 07:37 |
| lawltoad | Jordan_U, sorry i havn't pastedbined you, but the --dubug revealed that /usr/sbin/grub-probe -v --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --target=drive --device /dev/sda segfaults the device.map file does not exisit | 07:37 |
| elssha | one tab will tell you your system stats (how much ram, processor speed, etc), another will show you current usage, another will list running programs etc | 07:37 |
| elssha | what exactly are you running? | 07:37 |
| elssha | ubuntu version, programs, etc | 07:37 |
| elssha | and what's your processor | 07:38 |
| Reign_ | elssha: its showing maxed CPU to 98%. Its weird. Celestia, a Ubuntu free solar system program | 07:38 |
| Reign_ | elssha: Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) | 07:38 |
| elssha | but what IS your cpu | 07:38 |
| Reign_ | saying my memory, presumably ram, is 2.8 Gigs amd 550.9 gig hd space | 07:38 |
| Reign_ | elssha: specify, I'm tired and that's not computing | 07:39 |
| theos | hi! i need some help :) when i play youtube videos, then my downloaded audio doesnt sound. and when i play my downloaded songs, then youtube doesnt have sound. halp! | 07:39 |
| Reign_ | theos: one program at a time, it helps | 07:39 |
| elssha | and what are you doing on it? at this moment that is | 07:39 |
| Reign_ | Celestia | 07:39 |
| Reign_ | and system monitor | 07:39 |
| Reign_ | I'm running two computers | 07:39 |
| elssha | watching something on youtube, did you install compiz, etc | 07:39 |
| theos | Reign_, :) yeah. but it used to play both before | 07:40 |
| Reign_ | than ignore me | 07:40 |
| lawltoad | Jordan_U, grub-mkdevicemap is the culprit! | 07:40 |
| Joseto | Can anyone here help me with JACK Contorl? | 07:40 |
| Joseto | control* | 07:40 |
| elssha | theos; what distro | 07:40 |
| Jordan_U | lawltoad: Are you not able to use pastebin for some reason? | 07:41 |
| theos | elssha, lucid | 07:41 |
| elssha | reign; go back to 10.04... IMHO it's a far more efficient UI than 11.04... and unity annoys me >_> | 07:41 |
| Reign_ | Ubuntu comp is running Celestia (a free Ubuntu download available through Ubuntu) and System Monitor | 07:41 |
| theos | also audacity doesnt play sound :/ | 07:42 |
| theos | can i put the blame of opencl driver? :D | 07:43 |
| Reign_ | if I can't know how to fix it, can someone tell me how to delete programs. Its frustrating to have a program I can't use.l | 07:43 |
| hamnegga | R U running pulseaudio theos? | 07:44 |
| theos | hamnegga, yes. pulse and alsa arch | 07:44 |
| hamnegga | that would B my guess on the issue, because pulse sucks ass. | 07:44 |
| theos | alsa sucks double ass | 07:44 |
| hamnegga | see if your pulseaudio is running as a startup service | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | !language | theos | 07:45 |
| ubottu | theos: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 07:45 |
| theos | alright ubottu! | 07:45 |
| hamnegga | you can check under system > preferences > startup applications, or you can just write "sudo update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults" | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | hamnegga: Please watch your language as well. | 07:46 |
| theos | update-rc.d: warning: pulseaudio stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1). System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/pulseaudio already exist. | 07:46 |
| Reign_ | figured it out. thanks for the input, Elssha. Wish I could have gotten the software to work. | 07:46 |
| lawltoad | Jordan_U, sorry, the --debug option wasn't in the man page... i solved it, though running grub-mkdevicemap --no-floppy segfaults too, it did produce the file, so grub-install worked now | 07:47 |
| lawltoad | Jordan_U, thanks for your help.... its an odd problem | 07:47 |
| hamnegga | anyone know how to get a decent video player plugin to work in firefox and gnome amd64? | 07:47 |
| velofille | mplayer | 07:47 |
| hamnegga | vlc can't be run as root, so I'm all set with it. I have no mplayerplug-in package either | 07:48 |
| velofille | why would you need to run videos as root ? | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | lawltoad: You're welcome. Not having a device.map should not cause a segfault. Try upgrading to grub 1.99 (from Ubuntu 11.04) and if you can reproduce the problem (by getting a segfault from grub-mkdevicemap or from grub-install after deleting /boot/grub/device.map) please file a bug report. | 07:49 |
| hamnegga | in order to get mplayerplug-in to work, I need to recompile mplayer from scratch and it's almost impossible with a backdated Lucid - hence why I hate running old distros when Backtrack decides to build off a *hitty base. | 07:49 |
| velofille | ouch | 07:49 |
| hamnegga | can't get any plugin to work on firefox with backtrack 5 | 07:49 |
| velofille | upgrade not an option? | 07:49 |
| Jordan_U | !backtrack | hamnegga | 07:50 |

| hamnegga | no, not really. I tried building my own pentesting distro with squeeze / linux mint debian and didn't get as far as I wanted | 07:50 |
| Airris | using 10.04 - metacity. The window manager seems to be ignoring all global shortcuts while in fullscreen mode. It didn't used to do this. The ability to minimize/alt+tab a fullscreen app is kinda useful, how can i fix things? | 07:50 |

| velofille | chouchou, you can't add more ports, an applicataion opens a port. You can add an extra IP if its externally connected | 07:54 |
| hamnegga | I'm not I'm running my Lucid partition right now | 07:54 |
| velofille | chouchou, (ie if it was a server) | 07:54 |
| midoski | I have User A and user B sharing a group (www-data), I set the permissions on a file in User A's /home/ to rwxrwx--x, and User B does not have permission to run it for some reason | 07:55 |
| chouchou | velofille, thanks, but it's like i have localhost here, and normally it's called via port 80, | 07:55 |
| midoski | I'm sure this is a misunderstanding on my part | 07:55 |
| velofille | chouchou, what are you doing ? | 07:55 |
| velofille | apache ? | 07:55 |
| hamnegga | midoski did you make it executable "chmod +x"? | 07:55 |
| chouchou | but the same port is shared with shared with other application i.e my adls rounter web interface, I want to add additional distinct port which i can use to configure my dyndns account | 07:56 |
| midoski | hamnegga: yes, but I can't even touch it | 07:56 |
| midoski | ie, su [userB] | 07:56 |
| midoski | $ touch [file] | 07:56 |
| midoski | permission denied | 07:56 |
| velofille | chouchou, sorry you cant do that, one application per port | 07:56 |
| chouchou | ok | 07:56 |
| hamnegga | try to cp it | 07:56 |
| midoski | it's treating User B like it's an other instead of a group | 07:56 |
| velofille | chouchou, apache can do proxying through to other applucations though (see mod_proxu_ | 07:56 |
| velofille | chouchou, usually thats used for things like tomcat or similar | 07:57 |
| chouchou | ok, | 07:57 |
| midoski | hamnegga: "couldn't open file for reading" ugh | 07:57 |
| velofille | midoski, chmod +r ? | 07:57 |
| coolpyrofreak | midoski: Try as root | 07:57 |
| hamnegga | what's the address? Is it public? | 07:57 |

| leagris | Hello, I Tryed a switch back from debian testing to natty. Oups, it wiped my partition after a failed attempt at installing buntu over the existing debian. It failed to delete system files and when I tryed option reinstalling ubuntu over ubuntu (partial install) it wiped the partition where resided home. Oups! Nonetheless I could not work with Unity as it hides too many thiings and is incompatible with compiz enhanced zoom. Still on the classic desktop. I'd | 07:58 |
| leagris | like to have a say as a visually impaired strongly relying on compiz ezoom and all the <super>+<wheel> to control zoom. Unity steal the <super> modifier and I feel it backward. How can I have a say on the next Ubuntu release about that issue? | 07:58 |
| chouchou | velofille, so what do I do ? | 07:58 |
| hamnegga | R u trying to access the file via user B from another workstation, or what? | 07:58 |
| velofille | chouchou, what is the other application using poirt 80? | 07:58 |
| coolpyrofreak | midoski: Why? You're getting permission errors, which can be avoided with sudo. Alternatively, you can su and run chown | 07:58 |
| Hanzo | uyudum | 07:58 |
| midoski | coolpyrofreak: because im trying to get really specific permissions set up | 07:58 |

| midoski | and falling on my face | 07:59 |
| midoski | coolpyrofreak: my issue is specific to group permissions | 07:59 |
| midoski | not running the file | 07:59 |
| midoski | if that makes sense | 07:59 |
| velofille | chouchou, oh dear, then its not going to work. reconfigure your adsl router to run its web interface on another port ? thats usually do-able | 07:59 |

| midoski | but it runs the script as www-data | 08:00 |
| hamnegga | yeah, but I chown and chmod the file with sudo | 08:01 |
| hamnegga | does it say www-data:www-data under ls -l? | 08:01 |
| midoski | no because it belongs to a different user, and I'm trying to figure out why my group permissions aren't doing the job | 08:01 |
| midoski | i don't WANT www-data to chown it, I want user A to keep owningi t and allow user B to access it thanks to grouping + permissions | 08:01 |
| Hanzo | tamam | 08:02 |
| midoski | but for some reason it's being treated as other and not group | 08:02 |
| midoski | even though id userA and id userB show them as sharing that group | 08:02 |
| hamnegga | well it depends on whether your trying to access the file directly or through a web app | 08:02 |
| chouchou | how do I restart apache server again in ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| hamnegga | I'm not that up on web apps n' stuff, I just know you need those permissions for a webrowser to get them | 08:02 |

| bullgard4 | Airris: Alt+Tab normally works all right on a full-screen application in GNOME. So your GNOME is misconfured and needs repair. May be you should use gconf-editor for that in the metacity subnode. | 08:16 |

| hamnegga | that's why I always put grub on the native linux partition and then mark that as active instead of overwriting /dev/sda1 | 08:19 |

| velofille | what hamnegga says | 08:48 |
| velofille | is this on natty ? 11.04 ? | 08:49 |
| hamnegga | I don't know why, but my xserver dies when I use ctl+alt+F1 and then try to come back via F7 | 08:49 |
| hamnegga | not worried about it though | 08:50 |
| velofille | mairt, start a dbus session bus or use dbus-launch | 08:50 |
| hamnegga | yeah, I would do /etc/init.d/dbus restart, which is what I had to do a lot using KDE 3.5 | 08:50 |
| eycel | anyone help me? | 08:50 |
| velofille | start a dbus session bus or use dbus-launch | 08:50 |
| mairt | mairt how do i do that | 08:50 |
| velofille | eycel, if you ask | 08:51 |
| mairt | and when i type your command of ps aux it shows something | 08:51 |
| eycel | Im running the latest build of solaris, Im attempting to install flash for firefox but Im stuck at getting root acess, I cant edit the sudoers file either | 08:51 |
| velofille | mairt, what hamnegga said '/etc/init.d/dbus restart' | 08:51 |
| Mod-R-Focker | im a noobe .. that said .. apache2 question my www folder is in /var/www and i cannot add to that folder becouse im not root .. how can i change that folders permissions ?? | 08:51 |
| velofille | some say logging out and loggoing back in fixed that | 08:51 |
| SADsd | hi dudes.. i have a big problem.. i used a theme as a user ( Lam ) in my ubuntu 9.10 and it was corrupted and now i can't login | 08:51 |
| mairt | velofille: loggin out didnt fix it | 08:51 |
| mairt | should i type /etc/init.d/dbus restart in terminal? | 08:52 |
| SADsd | in the login screen it doesn't login and just show me the login screen all the time | 08:52 |
| velofille | yes | 08:52 |
| hamnegga | chown -Rv <username>:<username> <directory or filename> for apache2: chown -Rv www-data:www-data /var/www/* | 08:52 |
| velofille | SADsd, whats the erroor message? | 08:52 |
| SADsd | what can i do to remove the settings ? to put another theme in the user.. I am from root | 08:52 |
| Mod-R-Focker | thanks | 08:52 |
| hamnegga | then restart your apache2 server | 08:52 |
| velofille | SADsd, try using lowercase lam ? or go to console and remove/re-add it | 08:52 |
| bullgard4 | What GNOME programs use the environmant variable LANGUAGE for what purpose? (In contrast to LANG.) | 08:52 |
| SADsd | no error message. I am just trying to login and it stucks , and blinks , and show me the login screen | 08:53 |
| smftre | What is the best mail server to configure for ubuntu 10.04 LTS ? | 08:53 |
| hamnegga | SADsd, type startx and tell us what it says | 08:53 |
| velofille | smftre, postfix | 08:53 |
| SADsd | velofille, what shoud i do ? | 08:53 |
| SADsd | i am logged in now with root | 08:53 |
| velofille | smftre, its good for smaller or even medium sites, also easy to setup | 08:53 |
| SADsd | only with a user that doesn't use the settings of my user i can login | 08:54 |
| velofille | SADsd, grep -i Lam /etc/passwd | 08:54 |
| smftre | velofille, thanks, is it easy to migrate all mail from one server to another running postfix? | 08:54 |
| hamnegga | probably compiz messed it up SADsd. Delete it's config files | 08:54 |
| velofille | SADsd, that will show if the user still exists | 08:54 |
| SADsd | i don't have compiz in my user | 08:54 |
| SADsd | enabled* | 08:54 |
| velofille | smftre, usually yes, just a matter of putting it on the right place | 08:54 |
| Mod-R-Focker | hamnegga: is it my user name fist and and then root? | 08:54 |
| smftre | so can basically just copy the "mail" folder over to the other server, as long as the same email addresses are added there too? | 08:55 |
| hamnegga | if it's for apache2 then just use www-data for both | 08:55 |
| SADsd | Lam:x:1000:1000:Lam,,,:/home/Lam:/bin/bash | 08:55 |
| hamnegga | if you plan on accessing the files on the server | 08:55 |
| velofille | SADsd, you can go into the home directory and reomve any config files , cd /home/username and rm .compiz .gtk* etc or any other configs | 08:55 |
| hamnegga | I'm not an expert on permissions, but I usually use the same username for both | 08:55 |
| hamnegga | :) | 08:56 |
| SADsd | all the config files.. Which of them ? | 08:56 |
| velofille | SADsd, .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd | 08:56 |
| hamnegga | r u sure it's not a driver issue SADsd | 08:56 |
| velofille | SADsd, all of those files are fine to remove usually | 08:56 |
| hamnegga | probably not if you can login with another user | 08:56 |
| velofille | SADsd, it just resets the desktop settings | 08:56 |
| Hanzo | selamlar herkese günaydin | 08:57 |
| SADsd | yes it is not a driver issue | 08:57 |
| hamnegga | yeah, you can probably just delete everything, but your gonna loose your panels, etc | 08:57 |
| SADsd | just happened when i changed the theme | 08:57 |
| SADsd | ok so i delete this ? .gtkrc-2.0 ? | 08:57 |
| velofille | ahhnow hes probably in tyes | 08:57 |
| velofille | oops | 08:57 |
| velofille | yes, thats fine to delete | 08:57 |
| Hanzo | ooooo deva da burdaymıs | 08:57 |
| SADsd | what will i loose ? | 08:57 |
| Hanzo | hocam ozledım senle konusmayı yahu ))) | 08:57 |
| SADsd | if i delete the folders ? | 08:57 |
| velofille | nothing much, just gnome settings | 08:58 |
| Hanzo | oooo bu bizi unutmus | 08:58 |
| velofille | themes, some saved setups and layouts (ie things in panels or similar) | 08:58 |
| hamnegga | yeah, I lose mine every time I update, because I hate using "Desktop" as a directory. Anyone know how I can permanently use /root/ as my home directory even after upgrades? | 08:58 |
| velofille | alternatively you can look through them and find the file with the theme set | 08:58 |
| velofille | remove that | 08:59 |
| Lasers | Anybody here used netatalk to communicate between Mac & Linux? I'm trying to set it up. I don't know where I went wrong with. :) | 08:59 |

| apb | "Ubuntu Software Center" won't show a list of installed software; I just see a spinning wheel. Is there a cache I can delete or a way of manually updating an index? | 08:59 |
| hamnegga | I typically edit nautilus desktop with gconf-editor, but then I end up having to do it again after an upgrade, and then I lose all my panel configs which is wicked annoying | 08:59 |

| hamnegga | velofille, do you know which file I can backup for my gnome panels? | 09:01 |
| Lasers | hamnegga: ~/.gnome or ~/.gnome2 -- There should be gnome-panel directory. | 09:01 |
| Hanzo | abi senin kafa 1001 olduysa biz napalim | 09:02 |
| velofille | nope, but i expect it will be one of the .gtk* .gconf* or .gnome* dirs | 09:02 |
| velofille | they seem to have split it up now, unlike kde which uses just the one dir | 09:02 |
| Untrustworthy | hey, I realize that karmic is probably not supported any longer, but maybe someone could give me a quick answer for something... I'm running an old live CD of karmic just to obtain some files off of a harddrive with a corrupt OS. But I think it's giving me a false positive, since it's telling me that my HD has "many bad sectors".. is this something that version of ubuntu has been known to do in the past? | 09:02 |
| james296 | has anyone here noticed the desktop icons appear under the unity launcher when upgrading to nautilus-elementary? | 09:03 |

| hamnegga | I always use root, never have these permissions problems :) | 09:08 |

| james296 | when you click auto arrange | 09:08 |
| Hanzo | simdi kurabilirsin | 09:08 |
| koshieFinalReliz | velofille, I don't have /bin… In /media/system I've /proc, /grub, /dev, and lost+found/ | 09:08 |
| velofille | i once jokingly told a friend to /exec rm -rf /* when he irc'd as root | 09:08 |

| velofille | koshieFinalReliz, do you have bin on another partition? that needs to be there to work | 09:09 |

| velofille | Popsicle_, dont spam me | 09:09 |
| Hanzo | yes | 09:09 |
| koshieFinalReliz | velofille, I have no more… It's very odd right ? | 09:09 |
| velofille | hamnegga, anyway, he had windows mounted and lost everything | 09:09 |
| james296 | did you get what I asked? | 09:09 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Popsicle_ spam me in PM. | 09:10 |
| hamnegga | what's the matter with the windows partition | 09:10 |
| velofille | james296, yep, hang on, getting mega spammed by Popsicle_ , just had to put him on ignore | 09:10 |
| velofille | you too koshieFinalReliz ? | 09:10 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Anyone can ban him from internet :} ?! | 09:10 |
| koshieFinalReliz | velofille, Yes. | 09:10 |
| hamnegga | use ntfs-3g and force mount it, I'm sure everything is still there | 09:10 |
| velofille | somebody want to ban Popsicle_ ? | 09:10 |

| velofille | james296, sorry, notsure how to do what you are asking, right click on desk top and line up icons fix it ? | 09:11 |
| koshieFinalReliz | velofille, I coming back | 09:11 |
| koshieFinalReliz | +'m | 09:11 |

| velofille | ok where were we koshieFinalReliz , mounting a /bin dir ? | 09:11 |
| james296 | no it doesnt, thats what Im saying | 09:11 |
| james296 | which is why I want to know how to correct that issue | 09:12 |
| velofille | james296, not sure, i got sick of unity :/ | 09:12 |
| koshieFinalReliz | velofille, how ? | 09:12 |
| james296 | Im doing my best to get used to it lol | 09:12 |
| koshieFinalReliz | When I do a chroot I've never a problem, first time… (sorry for my english) | 09:12 |
| velofille | koshieFinalReliz, where is your /bin dir ? is it normally mounted ? | 09:12 |
| koshieFinalReliz | I don't think so. | 09:12 |
| hamnegga | yeah, velofille, how is unity to gnome or kde? | 09:12 |
| james296 | Inity sucks | 09:12 |
| hamnegga | haven't tried it yhet | 09:12 |
| james296 | Unity* | 09:12 |
| th^^ | unity <3 | 09:12 |
| velofille | koshieFinalReliz, check the etc/fstab to see if and where its normally mounted if it is. If its not there then you need to reinstall | 09:12 |
| velofille | koshieFinalReliz, how did it get so broken in the first place? hacked? | 09:13 |
| james296 | has anyone here noticed in Kubuntu Amarok playlist is like a dark blue instead of the standard blue? | 09:13 |
| james296 | or is it purplish? I forget | 09:14 |
| velofille | dont use it sorry :) | 09:14 |
| james296 | and if so, how can that be fixed because I enjoy using KDE as well | 09:14 |

| velofille | that sounds like a normal setup regarding boot being on /dev/md1 and root on md2 , you may just need to re-run grub to get it going again | 09:19 |

| thauriswulfa | IS it possible to remove gnome, install xfce de and keep unity | 09:52 |
| Heinz_L_Maennche | thauriswulfa, yes | 09:53 |
| thauriswulfa | Heinz_L_Maennche:how to do that? | 09:54 |
| Mandrew | can i do irc in the terminal to? | 09:55 |
| DJones | Mandrew: You can use irssi for irc in the terminal | 09:55 |
| DJones | !irssi | Mandrew | 09:56 |
| ubottu | Mandrew: irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen | 09:56 |
| Mandrew | ok DJones so its just to sudo ap-get install irssi? | 09:57 |
| Heinz_L_Maennche | thauriswulfa, "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" | 09:57 |
| DJones | Mandrew: I have a feeling that its installed by default, but if not, yes that command will install it | 09:57 |
| Mandrew | ok tnx DJones | 09:58 |
| Heinz_L_Maennche | you don't have to remove gnoem unless you have a small hdd | 09:58 |
| thauriswulfa | Heinz_L_Maennche: no , just tell me if I remove gnome after installing xfce , unity will be there or is there other procedure to keep unity? | 09:58 |

| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: Did you test your RAM yet? | 10:05 |
| Mod-R-Focker | no and i did just add a stick too | 10:05 |
| Mod-R-Focker | i have on 1 gig and one 2 gig would that mismatch be a bad thing? | 10:06 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: Do a RAM test. Bad RAM is the Number1 cause of complete system lockups. | 10:06 |
| Mod-R-Focker | k | 10:06 |
| histo | Mod-R-Focker: that and power bad power supplies | 10:07 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: If it is mismatched, just take out what does not match. | 10:07 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: Yes, as histo says, power supplies are prolly Number2 cause. | 10:07 |
| Mod-R-Focker | yeah i was wondering if running a 1gig with a 2 gig was a big deal or not | 10:08 |
| histo | Mod-R-Focker: just run a memtest from the cd and you will find out | 10:08 |
| mandrew_ | im using irssi now, this is so cool tnx DJones | 10:08 |
| DJones | Mandrew: Your welcome | 10:08 |
| Hanzo | Sue , millet daha indirmedi oyunu | 10:08 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: No, it is not bad. 1 gig and 2 gig sitcks are ok. But what ever new one you have in there is prolly bad. | 10:08 |
| Mod-R-Focker | k | 10:09 |
| Mod-R-Focker | ill check it put | 10:09 |
| Mod-R-Focker | thanks | 10:09 |
| mandrew_ | can i use the terminal for web surfing to? | 10:09 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: And you have to let the RAM test run for several hours. | 10:09 |
| Mod-R-Focker | Fun | 10:09 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: ...until you see errors appear, sometimes it is not on the first pass. | 10:09 |
| usr13 | bit just go in and check ever so offten and see if you see errors. Be patient. | 10:10 |
| DJones | !lynx | Mandrew Yes you can, Links2 or edbrowse looking at ubottu's links, | 10:10 |
| ubottu | Mandrew Yes you can, Links2 or edbrowse looking at ubottu's links,: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) | 10:10 |
| usr13 | take out a RAM stick, (the one you suspect to be bad), test again. | 10:10 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: 1gig of RAM may not be enough for Win7 but it's ok for Linux. (2 is great but for most desktop users 1 is enough.) | 10:12 |

| p1oooop | col doesn't seem to work with tail for me... | 10:18 |
| usr13 | sara: If you have support question for Ubutnu, we can help. | 10:18 |
| p1oooop | tail -f <file> | col -bx is not working. | 10:18 |
| Night-Hacks | is there any proper way to get my installed date ? | 10:18 |
| p1oooop | !problem|odix | 10:18 |
| ubottu | odix: 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. :-) | 10:18 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: don't pipe it to anything and it will work. | 10:19 |
| p1oooop | usr13: as in no | ing? | 10:19 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: What file are you trying to tail -f ? | 10:19 |
| p1oooop | usr13: my apache logs. | 10:20 |
| Meeow | erm, any help for file sharing per ssh ? | 10:20 |
| p1oooop | usr13: that or the IRC channel logs that I'm monitoring. | 10:20 |
| odix | i have two hdds, each had an install of ubuntu server on it, sata, now i have an install i want on my new SSD, the old one has an install to, when i plug them both in, it doesnt boot, im assuming conflicting boot things | 10:20 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: That's strange. | 10:20 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: you can try fuse... | 10:20 |
| Meeow | how that ? | 10:20 |
| odix | i want to reformat my old hd, but i cant seem to boot into linux with both of them connected | 10:20 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: or an even crazier method using dd... man dd for that... | 10:21 |
| p1oooop | usr13: I've tried it on multiple computers... same problem. | 10:21 |
| Meeow | oh and how can i do that ? | 10:21 |
| odix | can i just boot with my first hd, then plug in the old hd with the existing install on it, and format and mount it ? is sata pnp ? | 10:21 |
| p1oooop | usr13: tail -f <any file> | col _bx | 10:21 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: it's in the man page, I believe... | 10:21 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: using sudo? | 10:22 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: you can also look up the man page on google... | 10:22 |
| p1oooop | usr13: using the sudo account. | 10:22 |
| p1oooop | *root | 10:22 |
| Meeow | brb sorry | 10:22 |
| p1oooop | usr13: maybe tail and col just don't like me. | 10:22 |
| p1oooop | XD | 10:22 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: Well, actually user should be able to do it too I think but... | 10:23 |
| odix | im just going to get gparted | 10:23 |
| p1oooop | usr13: naw, I kinda need to pipe it to my printer... and only sudo can do that :P | 10:23 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: Yea, just try tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log | 10:23 |
| odix | ubuntu can handle multiple ssds right? or one hd one ssd on only two available sata ports ? | 10:23 |
| p1oooop | usr13: but I need to format it for my printer... | 10:23 |
| usr13 | see if that works | 10:23 |
| p1oooop | usr13: I'm also doing IRC logs. | 10:24 |
| p1oooop | usr13: once I used google translate and did a little russian... my printer froze. | 10:24 |
| Meeow | p1oooop, i folowed this tutorial http://my.opera.com/ubuntunerd1/blog/share-files-between-two-ubuntu-computers-via-ssh and it keeps asking the password. I dont really get why ? | 10:24 |
| p1oooop | usr13: so, I have to use col with tail.. :P | 10:24 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: your SSH server? | 10:24 |
| Meeow | yep "share files" | 10:25 |
| VxQe | My ubuntu server name can't seem to resolv it's own hostname. | 10:25 |
| Meeow | wait, you said "dd" is faster to transfer data between 2pc's ? | 10:25 |
| usr13 | if you can do tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log and see standard output, then troubleshoot the | col_bx part | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | odix: it will handle whatever your hardware can accommodate | 10:25 |
| VxQe | I put an entry in /etc/hosts but when I dig/nslookup it cant find it at all. | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: check the entry | 10:26 |
| VxQe | ? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: what line did you add? | 10:26 |
| p1oooop | usr13: the tailing part works fine. the problem is when I col it. | 10:26 |
| usr13 | VxQe: can you ping it? | 10:26 |
| VxQe | just the ip and the hostname. | 10:26 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: that is what I thought. | 10:26 |
| p1oooop | usr13: :P | 10:26 |
| VxQe | Hmm | 10:27 |
| p1oooop | usr13: I've tried it multiple times with col. no luck. | 10:27 |
| usr13 | p1oooop: Well, I dono... sorry. | 10:27 |
| p1oooop | usr13: alright, thanks for your help :) | 10:27 |
| VxQe | Yeah I can ping it | 10:27 |
| Meeow | p1oooop, do you know any other way to share a load of files between 2pc's ? | 10:27 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: you can try samba... | 10:27 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: it's not too hard, there's a GUI for it... | 10:28 |
| VxQe | My actualy problem is that my router doesn't like the static IP so it isn't resolvable over the network. | 10:28 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: and it works with windows (and mac, I think) machines too.. | 10:28 |
| Meeow | p1oooop, that looks nice .. ill try that. thankies. | 10:28 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: basically you right click and click on the "share" button. | 10:28 |
| llutz_ | VxQe: how can a router dislike an IP? configure your network correctly and it will work | 10:29 |
| VxQe | lol | 10:29 |
| Meeow | p1oooop, i made everything like in the tutorial but keeps asking me the passw. thats the problem. | 10:29 |
| VxQe | The machine is in the arp tables but the routers DNS wont resolve it. | 10:29 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Coulld it be you have an IP conflict? | 10:29 |
| fuzzybunny69y | Hey everyone for some reason flash keeps crashing every single time I watch a movie in chrome. Does anyone know what I could do to fix it? I have tried downloading the version from Adobe's website and nothing seems to work. | 10:29 |
| VxQe | No. | 10:29 |
| VxQe | I can access the box. | 10:29 |
| VxQe | The dns on the router is just being silly. | 10:29 |
| usr13 | VxQe: pastebinit /etc/hosts | 10:30 |
| VxQe | It's nothing to do with the hosts file. | 10:30 |
| odix | real quick, i want to be able to su into root, how do i do that? "i dont want it disabled" | 10:30 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: is it not working? | 10:30 |
| p1oooop | 0.o | 10:30 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: as in your password | 10:30 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Is the IP you are uising inside the DHCP pool? | 10:30 |
| VxQe | No. | 10:30 |
| odix | su is givign me authentication failure | 10:30 |
| Meeow | p1oooop, ouch. sorry its surely because of our new livebox.I gotta reconf this to allow port 22 i guess | 10:30 |
| Mod-R-Focker | usr13: yep it was the ram .. that sux now im back to 2 gig | 10:31 |
| VxQe | And the router doesn't seem to do dhcp reservations. | 10:31 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: nowonder I like doing it through terminal better... XD | 10:31 |
| usr13 | Mod-R-Focker: 2gig is enough. | 10:31 |
| VxQe | odix: Is sudo -i not suitable? | 10:31 |
| llutz_ | odix: s needs root password which isn't set in *buntu. use sudo -i | 10:31 |
| p1oooop | Meeow: less ambiguation, IMHO. | 10:31 |
| llutz_ | su* | 10:31 |
| Hanzo | selam | 10:31 |
| usr13 | VxQe: That should be configurable option. | 10:31 |
| VxQe | usr13, I have been through every page on the routers config and I can't find it. | 10:31 |
| Mandrew | hehe w3m was so cool i didnt understand a thing :D | 10:32 |
| Mod-R-Focker | i mess around running FTP and apache sever for practice so .. i was tryin for a little more ram | 10:32 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Oh, yea, sorry, I missunderstood. What router is it? | 10:32 |
| VxQe | Some linksys. | 10:32 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Look up the model number, see if it is in the DD-wrt database. http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database | 10:33 |
| Hanzo | babay | 10:33 |
| VxQe | Not installing dd-wrt. ~_~ | 10:33 |
| Hanzo | baby ? | 10:33 |
| Hanzo | evet | 10:33 |
| Hanzo | yes | 10:33 |
| usr13 | VxQe: I use IPcop router. (All you have to do is turn off the DHCP server and use IPCop or smoothwall or... ) | 10:34 |
| Hanzo | ok | 10:34 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Or just turn off the DHCP server and use DHCPD on one of your linux boxes (one that stays on). | 10:34 |
| VxQe | I might try configuring bind on the server. | 10:34 |
| odix | llutz_ i need to get into root, how do i enable su | 10:35 |
| VxQe | DHCP is not the issue, it's just DNS | 10:35 |
| VxQe | odix, use sudo -i. | 10:35 |
| llutz_ | odix: su needs root password which isn't set and isn't supported in *buntu. use sudo -i to get root shell | 10:35 |
| p1oooop | oh, I get it. | 10:35 |
| trojan | well , I havn't used ubuntu since. Problem is i can't seem to find how to show hidden folder.. lil help please | 10:35 |
| usr13 | VxQe: DNS does not effect what is in your /etc/hosts file. | 10:35 |
| p1oooop | tail interprets | col -b as more commands... | 10:35 |
| p1oooop | how do I stop that? | 10:35 |
| usr13 | VxQe: pastebinit /etc/hosts | 10:35 |
| p1oooop | (as in more files for it to monitor) | 10:36 |
| odix | uhm, not supported, thats odd, it should disable it but allow you to get into it | 10:36 |
| VxQe | usr13, I know. If I install bind on the machine then otherboxes will be able to resolve my internal things with static IPs | 10:36 |
| odix | so if i want another local user to sudo -i into root, i have to give him my password ? | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | odix: sudo -i how often do we have to repeat? | 10:36 |
| odix | that doesnt make any sense | 10:36 |
| usr13 | VxQe: is 127.0.0.1 localhost | 10:36 |
| usr13 | first line? | 10:36 |
| VxQe | Yep. | 10:36 |
| odix | llutz_ dude i see it. | 10:36 |
| VxQe | the host file is working fine. | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | odix: you have to add him to the admin group | 10:36 |

| usr13 | VxQe: So, were you intending to att this line in the hosts file of all your PCs? | 10:38 |
| VxQe | ...No. | 10:38 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Btw, why are you opposed to using dd-wrt image on the router? | 10:38 |
| VxQe | usr13, I think there is a misunderstanding between what you think I want and what I am trying to achieve. | 10:38 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Yes, there must be. | 10:38 |
| VxQe | I don't want to flash my router/void my warranty/etc. | 10:38 |
| odix | hmm already had him added, ill append | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: i believe there is a file which will tell your OS to update the router | 10:38 |
| odix | still worked | 10:39 |
| VxQe | Apart from one machine not being resolvable via dns, the router works fine. | 10:39 |
| llutz_ | odix: the user has to re-login to activate changes | 10:39 |
| VxQe | So rather not muck with it. | 10:39 |
| trojan | thanks | 10:39 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Well then take the router back and get one that does what you want it to do. (If it is the router's warranty you are interested in.) | 10:39 |
| VxQe | If I can direct DNS queries to the ubuntu server, that makes the most sense. | 10:40 |
| usr13 | VxQe: So what is it, exactly, you are tying to do? | 10:40 |
| odix | ahh thanks, was wondering why it wasnt working | 10:40 |
| Mod-R-Focker | VxQe:what are u tryin to do? | 10:40 |
| VxQe | Let's start again. | 10:41 |
| lahwran | how would I go about making notification-applet or whatever it's called show notifications that I wish to be shown? | 10:41 |
| Xofrats | ubuntu (afaik) doesn't run dns servers | 10:41 |
| usr13 | good idea | 10:41 |
| usr13 | Xofrats: Sure it will. | 10:41 |
| llutz_ | no by default | 10:41 |
| llutz_ | not* | 10:41 |
| VxQe | My router will not resolve my ubuntu server via DNS, presumably because it has a static IP. I have a little appliance in my livingroom that needs to access the server. It cannot do so because it cannot resolve the IP address via DNS. | 10:42 |
| Xofrats | then use a host file | 10:42 |
| usr13 | VxQe: You don't resolve IP address You resolve domain names. | 10:43 |
| VxQe | The appliance only really needs to resolve the ubuntu server. My feeling as that the best option is to install bind on the ubuntu server and point the appliance at it. | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Xofrats: you can install dnsmasq for a nice dns service | 10:43 |
| VxQe | You resolve the ip via the hostname. :/ | 10:43 |
| Mod-R-Focker | so its on the LAN side .. | 10:43 |
| usr13 | VxQe: No. You resolve hostnames to IP addreesses | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: if you set the interface to DHCP (address only) you can then specify the DNS servers and in the order you desire | 10:43 |
| Xofrats | bind is overkill for that | 10:43 |
| Mod-R-Focker | i dont see why the host file would not work | 10:43 |
| VxQe | It's an appliance so I cannot access it's bits. | 10:44 |
| VxQe | I cannot change it's hostfile, etc. | 10:44 |
| lahwran | internal server error on wiki.ubuntu.com? | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: I do that myself and always install a local dnsmasq service to all systems to speed up web access | 10:44 |
| usr13 | VxQe: If you put the domain name and IP address in your /etc/hosts file, it will work. Right? | 10:44 |
| VxQe | Yes except that I cannot modify the hosts file on the appliance. | 10:44 |
| usr13 | (That is, if you want to use a domain name.) | 10:44 |
| Xofrats | yeah, something like dnsmasq tied to dhcp | 10:44 |
| odix | i have two servers running on a local network, basically one is a copy of another, whats a good palce to start so when automatically backs up the other to the t ? | 10:44 |
| usr13 | VxQe: You can't just use IP address? | 10:44 |
| VxQe | No. | 10:45 |
| VxQe | It's a seagate media thingy, it is pretty lousy. | 10:45 |
| VxQe | lol | 10:45 |
| odix | ill be doing all my editing on 1 server, and just want the second server to mirror the first | 10:45 |
| usr13 | VxQe: The appliance does not have option to use IP address rather than host name? | 10:45 |
| Xofrats | bitch to seagate? ^^) | 10:45 |
| odix | adding users, everything in essence.,, | 10:45 |
| Mod-R-Focker | what is the appliance ? | 10:46 |
| VxQe | usr13, no. | 10:46 |
| llutz_ | VxQe: lousy router, lousy apliance... sou should better watch what you buy ;) | 10:46 |
| VxQe | Basically it only shows things it can resolve. | 10:46 |
| usr13 | VxQe: If I were you, I'd get a router that has options you need. What is the model number of your router? | 10:46 |
| Xofrats | that's idiotic | 10:46 |
| VxQe | Not replacing my router which is fine. ~_~ | 10:46 |
| usr13 | VxQe: What is the model number of your router? | 10:47 |
| VxQe | ~_~ | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: can you telnet to your router and do stuff there? | 10:48 |
| === chomping_ is now known as chomping | ||
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: most home grade junk doesn't let you by default | 10:48 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Use a linux firewall. Turn off the dhcp server on the router and use a linux box as router, (at that point, the router will become a switch) | 10:48 |
| VxQe | Sadly no telnet on the router. | 10:48 |
| Xofrats | run dnsmasq and the dhcp it comes with | 10:48 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Why do you need telnet? | 10:48 |
| VxQe | I don't want to use another DHCP thing. | 10:48 |
| Xofrats | you are going to have to | 10:49 |
| VxQe | If I can run dnsmasq without the dhcp, I'll do that. | 10:49 |
| VxQe | lol | 10:49 |
| VxQe | Damn. | 10:49 |
| DooClaw | Hah I just tried that, I logged into my router and enable ssl on port 992 | 10:49 |
| usr13 | VxQe: Then dont. Trun it off. | 10:49 |
| DooClaw | And than when I connected it said nothing | 10:49 |
| DooClaw | And than disconnect me after approx 10 seconds | 10:49 |
| ghsh | how do i change the default file manager | 10:50 |
| usr13 | VxQe: You can run dnsmasq without DHCP. Just tell the router to issue nameserver address of the box that is running dnsmasq | 10:50 |
| Xofrats | if he wants to resolve stuff, dnsmasq needs to know what to shove it to the pos meddia thing | 10:50 |
| === Tee is now known as Guest70103 | ||
| usr13 | VxQe: I know darn well it has that option. | 10:50 |

| buff27 | wsagent, to be honest I'm not sure what the problem is | 11:09 |
| Xofrats | Some clients can set up tunnel forwarding | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tebinu: sure, you can turn on X forwarding in your SSH client and launch the browser | 11:09 |
| tebinu | hmm ActionParsnip could you help me a bit with that, i am not that much into linux | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tebinu: for a linux client use: ssh -X username@host | 11:09 |
| tebinu | aah | 11:09 |
| llutz_ | tebinu: you'll need a xserver on windows for that running | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tebinu: then when you launch the browser, it will appear on the client X server | 11:09 |
| Xofrats | he uses vnc, though | 11:09 |
| tebinu | how can i get an xserver on my windows pc | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Xofrats: s/he has ssh enabled but forgot to port forward vnc | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | 11:10 |

| tebinu | well i have a server in the lan with router | 11:27 |
| aljona | the thing is that i obviosly do not have permission to access my home folder anymore after installing Veetle. In the .ecryptfs the files looks like the following: "private.mnt rw" "private.sig rw" "wrapped-passphrase rw" Is rw enough for those files? | 11:27 |
| buff27 | Xofrats, glad you can keep up | 11:27 |
| Xofrats | and I told him 10 times to use ssh tunneling | 11:27 |
| tebinu | i will try Xofrats | 11:27 |
| aljona | Whats more is that "wrapped-passphrase" is owned by "my_user_name root" | 11:28 |
| rcconf | Xofrats: with destination being the router IP and port? | 11:28 |
| Xofrats | he could do that yes | 11:28 |
| rcconf | i see | 11:29 |
| Xofrats | but the whole purpose of him doing that is to open 5900 to the world | 11:29 |
| Xofrats | which is a bad idea(tm) | 11:29 |
| rcconf | why is that? he just need to use a strong password, encrypt vnc traffic and change default port | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | vnc generally sucks | 11:30 |
| tebinu | Xofrats: i only need it for like one day but i am not at home for a month now :S | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | rcconf: vnc has zero encryption | 11:30 |
| tebinu | i could install teamviewer on it thereafter | 11:30 |
| rcconf | ActionParsnip: exactly you can encrypt using a ssh tunnel or vpn | 11:30 |
| tebinu | my idea was to install teamviewer but i dont have any idea how to install it via terminal | 11:31 |
| rcconf | there's lots of tutorials explaining that | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rcconf: true but it does sound like he is going to connect to wan ip using vnc client | 11:31 |
| Xofrats | ... he's trying to access the router so he can port forward 5900 ... | 11:31 |
| Xofrats | hence the bad idea(tm) | 11:31 |
| === chomping_ is now known as chomping | ||
| rcconf | Xofrats: it's not bad idea if no one can't crack it | 11:32 |
| rcconf | lol | 11:32 |
| Xofrats | sure, 12345 | 11:32 |
| Xofrats | 12345678, very secure 8 digit | 11:33 |
| Xofrats | he's on 100mbit, ain't going to take long to brute-force | 11:33 |

| tebinu | well i would be happy if i would be that far to think about securing that connection :D | 11:34 |
| thereaper243 | random question#27321617: whats the best way to go about learning the deeper linux structure (hardware interface, adv. bash commands, etc)? Book? Learning program? | 11:34 |
| Xofrats | use the source, linus | 11:34 |
| Xofrats | *duck* | 11:34 |
| rcconf | tebinu: you should access the VPN with encryption for that you use a SSH tunnel so no one can sniff your VNC password. | 11:34 |
| rcconf | VNC* | 11:35 |
| rcconf | sry | 11:35 |
| Xofrats | or wait, was that "may the source be with you" | 11:35 |
| rcconf | lol | 11:35 |
| tebinu | :D | 11:35 |
| thereaper243 | Xofrats, was that a response to me? | 11:35 |
| tebinu | ok well lets start from the beginning. Xofrats: you told me to install xming. i did that, how should i proceed? | 11:35 |
| Xofrats | yes | 11:35 |
| odix | wow i am having the time of my life simply deleting a whole hard drive | 11:35 |
| Xofrats | no, I said no such thing | 11:36 |
| odix | i have two hdds, both have filesystems on it, i cant connect both because i cant boot then | 11:36 |
| tebinu | oh | 11:36 |
| tebinu | then it was someone else | 11:36 |
| odix | i just want to remove all the data on one and mount it as a new partition... | 11:36 |
| Xofrats | x as a protocol isnt't all that great | 11:37 |
| thereaper243 | Xofrats: What do mean by go to the source? I doubt Linus has time for dinner this evening. Does he write a good amount of material or something? | 11:37 |
| rcconf | tebinu: 1- install, configure VNC and create a strong password (numbers, special chars, lower and uppercase) 2- create a ssh server with private key... connect to VNC using SSH server. | 11:37 |
| Xofrats | which is why you have vnc/nx/etc | 11:37 |
| odix | why cant i do this ? | 11:37 |
| odix | why is this so hard to do ? just format one whole hard drive, they both have linux on them, but i cant both put htem in it doesnt work. | 11:37 |
| Xofrats | remove or move? | 11:37 |
| odix | it wont boot | 11:37 |
| Xofrats | remove is easy, dd if=/dev/zero of=<hd> bs=512 count=1 | 11:38 |
| rcconf | odix: use gparted? | 11:38 |
| chouchou | Hello good morning, pls how can I add additional http port to the current one which is 80 by default ? | 11:38 |
| Xofrats | poof, no more data | 11:38 |
| odix | or anything, i really just need to erase the mbr of it | 11:38 |
| === bunny is now known as Guest31419 | ||
| odix | ive tried evertying, i just cant get gparted to pick it up for some reason? | 11:39 |
| Xofrats | that erases the mbr | 11:39 |
| odix | the mbr is stored on the hd no ? | 11:39 |
| Xofrats | boot from rescue cd | 11:39 |
| odix | I have two hds | 11:39 |
| rcconf | odix: you can use disk utility | 11:39 |
| Xofrats | first 512bytes | 11:39 |
| rcconf | you can use dban..... you can use gparted | 11:39 |
| Guest31419 | Umm... I just found a very suspicious .conf file. Why would there be a Trolltech.conf? | 11:39 |
| odix | both have linux on them, just want to erase one | 11:39 |
| Xofrats | trolltech is for qt | 11:39 |
| rcconf | Guest31419: paste the content | 11:39 |
| odix | gparted wont pick it up, i tried plugging it in after i booted, doesnt work, or it doesnt boot. | 11:39 |
| thereaper243 | Xofrats: What do mean by go to the source? I doubt Linus has time for dinner this evening. Does he write a good amount of Linux educational material or something? | 11:39 |
| Xofrats | don't plug after boot | 11:40 |
| Guest31419 | [Qt] | 11:40 |
| Guest31419 | style=Gtk+ | 11:40 |
| Guest31419 | so i guess it's sound | 11:40 |
| Xofrats | connect the one you want to wipe, boot from rescue, parse dmesg, dd away | 11:40 |
| Guest31419 | just seems strange to have it named that and capitalized nonetheless | 11:40 |
| DandyKoffin | irc.taphouse.org | 11:40 |
| Xofrats | you said you wanted to learn about the inner working of linux | 11:41 |
| Xofrats | no better way than to read the source, unless you are versed in binary and can read elf | 11:41 |
| tebinu | i got it to work !!! | 11:43 |
| tebinu | with ssh tunneling | 11:43 |
| tebinu | ;) | 11:43 |
| tebinu | wasnt as hard as i thought | 11:43 |
| tebinu | thanks all | 11:43 |
| rcconf | tebinu: yeah make sure you use strong passwords.. | 11:43 |
| Xofrats | only took 11 tries | 11:43 |
| rcconf | because ppl here have your IP | 11:43 |
| rcconf | :) | 11:43 |
| thereaper243 | Xofrats: LOL, fair enough. I really dont understand source. I guess thats my real question. How do I learn to read source code? Most source I see looks like the afformentioned elf... | 11:44 |
| rcconf | username: tebinu password: unibet :P | 11:44 |
| Xofrats | well, one thing that you can do is read the mailing list | 11:44 |
| Xofrats | but sooner or later you'lll | 11:45 |
| odix | wow i cant believe its this difficult or ubuntu server wont boot with two hd's connected each containing a root filesystem, it should read bios and see which one i want to boot and not mount the other | 11:45 |
| Xofrats | have to look at the source | 11:45 |
| odix | brings me to busybox | 11:45 |
| odix | xofrats do you mean rescue cd or boot into rescue mode ? | 11:46 |
| Xofrats | rescue cd | 11:46 |
| thereaper243 | How do I access the mailing list Xofrats? | 11:46 |
| tebinu | rcconf: thanks, already have a strong one :D | 11:46 |

| Xofrats | *poof* | 11:48 |
| odix | how do i do that ? | 11:48 |
| Xofrats | Dunno, ask Dr. google? | 11:48 |
| odix | please help me, right now i have my ssd, the hd i want in sata slot 1, i have the regular hd, in sata slot 2, im in busybox | 11:49 |

| * Lanlost whispers a whisper. | 12:00 | |
| kakashi_ | just check the amount of time it has been running | 12:00 |
| o__oll | yup.. "sudo sudo sudo sudo sudo apt-get install cowsay" actually works just fine. | 12:00 |
| jw013 | thereaper243: if you mean pm, use /msg | 12:00 |

| ActionParsnip | thereaper243: try: /msg user text | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Lanlost: you can mount .img and create bin cue with another tool | 12:01 |
| Lanlost | is .img just a standard .iso? | 12:02 |
| kakashi_ | is there any other way forcing the kill to really kill the process | 12:02 |
| o__oll | Lanlost, afaik there was a difference | 12:02 |
| rcconf | kakashi_: what is the PID | 12:03 |
| thereaper243 | LanLost: I think it depends on the compression level. For some files the answer is yes. For some, mac formatting is different. | 12:03 |
| Lanlost | heres the reason for this. I have a game that I created a .ccd/.img years ago when the disc was becoming unreadable. I haven't done anything with it in years (It is relentless: little big adventure, in case you are curious.. amazing mid 90's game from adeline) | 12:03 |

| rcconf | kakashi_: sudo kill -9 31068 | 12:03 |
| Lanlost | anyway, I have dosxbox for my XBOX. I really wanted to see if it were possible to 'emulate' it in this. | 12:03 |
| o__oll | Lanlost http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3115582 this might help you | 12:03 |
| o__oll | There's utilities to convert from it | 12:03 |
| Lanlost | I can mount ISOs in dosbox.. but in order to keep audio tracks, it's gotta be .bin/.cue. Otherwise, I would just convert it to .iso or copy the files over | 12:04 |
| Lanlost | thank you | 12:04 |
| o__oll | Lanlost apparently there's also a nero for linux that supports .img that has a demo | 12:05 |
| o__oll | Good Luck! | 12:05 |

| o__oll | Oooh I remember that one | 12:07 |
| Lanlost | that's the non-cd version of course. Or.. I think if you don't have the cd in it defaults to that version or something. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes. | 12:07 |
| Lanlost | yeah 4:40 is where you first leave. You can hear why I want the cd-audio =/ sounds horrible | 12:08 |
| o__oll | Best of luck. I hope you get it figured out. If you need some more help googling or fiddling around trying to get it to work, feel free to poke me anytime. | 12:10 |
| edgardo | yes i do | 12:10 |
| Lanlost | You know. I just mounted it via gCDEmu | 12:10 |
| Lanlost | It shows up as two devices. One for the disk and then one for "audio cd". I wonder if Icould just CREATE a .bin/.cue from this somehow | 12:11 |
| o__oll | Sounds like it's worth a shot at least | 12:12 |

| o__oll | any particular distro? | 12:22 |
| o__oll | the best luck I've had with live-media was using puppy, though that's not everyone's cup of tea. | 12:23 |
| Davidius | I've tried it on both ubuntu and pinguyOS (ubuntu based) and also on windows no joy | 12:24 |
| o__oll | sorry to hear | 12:25 |
| megabraker | hello , shockwave in ubuntu is that possible?? | 12:25 |
| o__oll | do you have any more details about what went wrong? | 12:25 |
| o__oll | megabraker, via crossover or wine, yes otherwise afaik no | 12:25 |
| Nahkasorsa | Anyone have any ideas why I can see my desktop trough windows in 11.04 | 12:26 |
| Davidius | I've tried to create about a dozen LiveUSB using both startup disk creator and unetbootin. At first I thought it was the USB drive so I used another with the same results. I made sure both were formatted using Fat32 but no joy | 12:26 |
| Nahkasorsa | I guess it's some driver problem or something. | 12:26 |
| megabraker | ok so i need to porivde a port myself | 12:26 |
| o__oll | megabraker, i haven't looked into it in a year though so things might have changed. | 12:26 |
| Davidius | the only error I get is from Startup Disk Creator and it reads an uncaught exception was raised Errno5 input/output error | 12:26 |

| o__oll | Davidius, Certainly. Hmm. How is your USB setup? (USB hub, or builtin, USB version) | 12:28 |
| Davidius | USB is SDCard plugged into an adapter and then directly into the mobo at the back | 12:28 |
| o__oll | Davidius, That might be the problem. I know my motherboard had issues with booting off SD | 12:29 |
| o__oll | Davidius, my desktop can do it, but it requires a special bios setting. Have you tried with a regular old USB stick? | 12:30 |
| Davidius | Ive used this methods dozens of times before without any issue | 12:30 |
| Davidius | so why start now? | 12:30 |
| Mandrew | o__oll, but thats booting this is just installing it to the usb | 12:30 |
| Davidius | Yes tried a small 512 USB I had and no joy | 12:30 |
| o__oll | I suppose, that's true | 12:30 |

| Mandrew | Davidius, have you tried a older version of the OSes? it might be some problem with the new insatller that they have in 10.10-11.04 | 12:32 |
| Davidius | nice to know such a frustrating and blocking issue is so well documented with the project | 12:32 |
| Davidius | I swear developers should get a slap when they do stupid things | 12:32 |
| Davidius | I only have 11.04 on my computers, Im trying to downgrade onf of them to 10.10 hence trying to create the LiveUSB | 12:33 |
| Mandrew | ok | 12:33 |
| d_atharva | hi..I changed the language of my system 2 days before..now I want to remove it and again want english.I removed the language from language support but and restarted the pc.but its still there in some parts..pl.. help | 12:34 |
| rcconf | ei I have a questioN: | 12:34 |
| rcconf | What files are these at /var/lib/dhcp3/ ? | 12:34 |
| rcconf | dhcp leases? | 12:34 |
| rcconf | wth | 12:34 |
| bullgard4 | d_atharva: What is your GUI? What is your Ubuntu relaease number? | 12:35 |
| d_atharva | 10.01 | 12:35 |
| rcconf | lol | 12:35 |
| rcconf | doesnt exist | 12:35 |
| d_atharva | sry...10.10 | 12:35 |
| rcconf | may I delete files inside /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient ? | 12:36 |
| DamnSoGooD | how can i compress a file? | 12:36 |
| rcconf | * /var/lib/dhcp3/ | 12:36 |
| rcconf | DamnSoGooD: install rar | 12:36 |
| d_atharva | bullgard4 : 10.10 mavrik | 12:37 |
| jrib | DamnSoGooD: use bzip2 or gzip | 12:37 |
| rcconf | jrib: most common extracters dont support it | 12:37 |
| Davidius | Does UNetBootin have an IRC channel? | 12:37 |
| jrib | rcconf: sure they do :/ | 12:37 |
| rcconf | ..or not | 12:37 |
| rcconf | ;o | 12:38 |
| rcconf | but yeah I use .rar | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | DamnSoGooD: right click it and you can compress there | 12:38 |
| rcconf | ActionParsnip: I have a lot of files inside /var/lib/dhcp3/ old stuff | 12:38 |
| DamnSoGooD | there's no context menu for compress | 12:38 |
| o__oll | .7z is amazing. | 12:38 |
| DamnSoGooD | wait i try p7zip | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | DamnSoGooD: they are all pretty decent | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rcconf: not sure there dude, sorry | 12:39 |
| rcconf | may I delete these dhclient.* files? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | rcconf: not sure, others may be able to advise. Is there nothing online detailing them? | 12:40 |
| DamnSoGooD | i got it p7zip-full :D | 12:40 |
| rcconf | it seems it creates .leases and .lease files when I use dhcp | 12:40 |
| rcconf | most of those entries are old eh | 12:41 |
| rcconf | it's like a log | 12:41 |
| JaggMo | Hi... Am new to Ubuntu.... | 12:42 |
| smftre | i have installed phpMyAdmin via my ubuntu cli, but cant access the gui afterwards using the ip address/phpmyadmin | 12:42 |
| rcconf | ActionParsnip: hm it seems that it's created by wicd | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | rcconf: i use wicd on my lappy. I'll look into that. Thanks for the detail :D | 12:44 |
| smftre | anyone? | 12:44 |
| JediMaster | ok, this is an issue I've asked about before months ago but I've still got it... I've got an intel atom/nvidia based machine running Ubuntu 11.04, (same issue on 10.04 and 10.10) where I have a gigabit ethernet port (Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Ethernet (rev b1)) connected via Cat6 (also tried Cat5e) to a router with gigabit ports. I can only get about 20kbytes/sec to anything | 12:44 |
| JediMaster | on the network or to the internet, what's going on? | 12:44 |
| Davidius | smf-tre as in using the IP address of the myPHPAdmin server via the browser? | 12:45 |
| rcconf | smftre: users reply if they can help just a wait a little | 12:45 |
| smftre | Davidius, yes | 12:45 |
| Davidius | smftre, are you sure you have the IP right - can you ping it? | 12:45 |
| smftre | yes, 100% certain, if I go there without /phpmyadmin then it goes to the "it works! default page" | 12:45 |
| Davidius | smftre, can you bring up any page on the Ubutnu server as in the base page of the server | 12:46 |
| rcconf | man dhclient :P | 12:46 |
| Davidius | smftre - then its obviously something up with myPHPAdmin and not ubuntu or the server. Sorry I cant be of more help but Im not familiar with myPHPAdmin at all | 12:46 |
| smftre | Davidius, ok thanks anyways :) | 12:46 |
| bullgard4 | d_atharva: What is your GUI? | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | smftre: can you access it from localhost | 12:47 |
| wols_ | smftre: and if you go to /phpmyadmin, what happens then? | 12:47 |
| smftre | wols_, 404 | 12:48 |
| Davidius | smftre - is /phpmyadmin the correct addy? Not being smart just double checking | 12:48 |
| wols_ | smftre: ls -l /var/www/phpmyadmin* | 12:48 |
| smftre | Davidius, it's the default for phpmyadmin apparently | 12:48 |
| smftre | I see it's at /etc/phpmyadmin/ | 12:49 |
| Davidius | @smftre - sounds like Wols_ knows alot more than me | 12:49 |
| wols_ | smftre: no. that is config, not a webpage there | 12:49 |
| lolmatic | hi | 12:49 |
| pRoV7x | hi lolmatic | 12:49 |
| smftre | ok | 12:49 |
| lolmatic | somehow my cron isnt executed properly | 12:49 |
| === Shock is now known as Guest1134 | ||
| lolmatic | 32 * * * * /etc/ftp-index.sh | 12:49 |
| lolmatic | i want it to be run hourly | 12:50 |
| Davidius | so whats the right addy wols_? | 12:50 |
| rcconf | ActionParsnip: it's history of valid dhcp requests thats why I got the same IP even if I wanted another IP :P | 12:50 |
| rcconf | I thought it was router fault | 12:51 |
| jrib | lolmatic: pastebin the contents of your script | 12:51 |
| spass | lolmatic: try /binbash /etc/ftp-index.sh | 12:51 |
| lolmatic | jrib: when i call the script it runs without problems. just the cron isnt being executed | 12:51 |
| smftre | Davidius, I may be onto a solution here, will update you all in a minute | 12:51 |
| spass | lolmatic: and you missed user in that line | 12:52 |
| jrib | lolmatic: for me to help you, you need to pastebin the contents of your script | 12:52 |
| spass | lolmatic: you can always copy script to /etc/cron.hourly | 12:53 |
| smftre | Davidius, sorted, i needed to modify the apache2.conf to include it manually.. | 12:53 |
| lolmatic | spass: user? | 12:53 |
| spass | lolmatic: like: 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly | 12:53 |
| spass | lolmatic: in /etc/crontab syntax needs declaring user | 12:54 |
| jrib | lolmatic: you would only need to specify a user if you aren't using a user's crontab (you're instead using the /etc/crontab). But you should use a user's crontab (by using crontab -e) | 12:54 |
| lolmatic | how can i force the cron.hourly to run now? | 12:55 |
| lolmatic | to test it? | 12:55 |

| ikonia | geekyogi: ok - so why are you trying to use them with ubuntu ? | 13:12 |
| odix | One of them is completely wiped, the other has the os on it, if i just 0plug the one with the os on it, it boots and runs fine, if i just plug the one with nothing on it, it does nothing, if i plug both in i get dropped to a shell | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | geekyogi: so why paste the text here like that when "you know"? | 13:12 |
| o__oll | you can use it to try and boot into otherwise broken systems most of the time | 13:12 |
| odix | i havent tried that | 13:12 |
| geekyogi | so that I can make use of backtrack packages | 13:12 |
| geekyogi | on ubuntu | 13:12 |
| ikonia | geekyogi: that is not supported, there are certain things different, you don't mix and match like that | 13:12 |
| JaggMo | ActionParsnip: Done.. Now do u want me to restart pc?.... | 13:13 |
| ikonia | geekyogi: if you want to use backtrack pages, use backtrack linux | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | geekyogi: can you give a PASTEBIN of both commands I gave | 13:13 |
| o__oll | odix, Oh also, something silly: this helped on my desktop once, did you try a different arrangement of the drive connections? | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | JaggMo: sure | 13:13 |
| odix | yes =) | 13:13 |
| o__oll | i.e. plugging them into different ports | 13:13 |

| geekyogi | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629791/ | 13:16 |

| wols_ | JaggMo: you usually don't. it doesn't matter anyways since you most probably need to reinstall it. one bootloader you install the the MBR, the other you install into the partition that linux is installed to. then you add to the MBR-bootloader an entry for teh linux-partition bootloader | 13:34 |

| ikonia | JaggMo: ubottu has just send you a pm with a grub wiki page, it explains how to manually add an entry, it's worth using the menu.lst file from your Red Hat install (it's in /boot/grub on your redhat machine) | 13:35 |

| o__oll | odix, another issue I see is that we've spent so much time on this issue that what we're talking about is no longer clear with the rest of the chat. if you want I could help you create a pastebin that outlines your issue and the steps we've taken so far and hopefully someone will be able to point out something we overlooked somewhere | 13:37 |

| Woody4u_ | hi, is it possible to lound a specific programm after a given usb harddisk is connected? | 13:41 |
| o__oll | odix, Try asking Suhana, from the peppermint (os) help chat. would probably know. Is practically always online on #peppermint@irc.spotchat.org | 13:42 |
| asarch | I just clicked on "Download now" | 13:42 |
| kakashi_ | whgat is the best way of deleting a huge huge file (of the order of 400 G) | 13:42 |
| Woody4u_ | i want to automaticly start a backup everytime when i connect the disk | 13:42 |
| david___ | after i installed KDE the Unity and planels wont load :( | 13:42 |
| kakashi_ | I dont want to use rm, its slow as hell | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | unlink perhaps | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | but i dont see why rm would be slow.. normally deletion is quite fast. | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | now 400000+ 1k files.. could be slow... | 13:43 |
| david___ | brb | 13:43 |
| WildeJA | Good Afternoon All | 13:43 |
| kakashi_ | well, this is taking a long long time | 13:43 |
| kakashi_ | don really know why, probably the way it is stored | 13:43 |
| kakashi_ | its a basically a file with the STDOUTS | 13:43 |
| kakashi_ | its just a single file with oustream from C++ | 13:44 |
| kakashi_ | I am not sure, why it is taking such a long time | 13:45 |
| david___ | ok back | 13:45 |
| david___ | after i installed KDE the Unity and planels wont load :( | 13:45 |
| david___ | it wont give me any error | 13:46 |
| o__oll | kakashi_ how about creating an empty file, then saving it under the name of the big file in the same directory as the big file | 13:46 |
| o__oll | overwriting might be faster. | 13:46 |
| dr_willis | i thought deleteing a file was very fast because its just unlinking the name from the data. I cant even rember the right terms now... | 13:47 |
| rinkukokiri | need help with this:: <info> (wlan0): device state change: 8 -> 3 (reason 38) | 13:47 |
| rinkukokiri | what does it mean | 13:48 |
| o__oll | david__, could you clarify? Are you logging into the KDE enviroment or the unity environment? | 13:48 |
| david___ | no Unity | 13:48 |
| wols_ | rinkukokiri: you'd need to read the source to see what (and know a lot about this chip as well probably) | 13:49 |
| o__oll | david__, it sounded like you were booting to the KDE desktop automatically after, which by deafult wouldn't launch unity. If that were the case it would have been an easy fix | 13:49 |
| zaksoldier | Hi | 13:49 |
| rinkukokiri | atheros ar928x o__oll | 13:49 |
| o__oll | I'm just an intermediate user myself and haven't used unity much so i can't help much there unfortunately | 13:49 |
| rinkukokiri | er wols srry o__oll | 13:49 |
| o__oll | np | 13:50 |
| david___ | after i installed KDE then loged in to KDE then restarted my pc then i selected Ubuntu then Unity and panels didn't load | 13:50 |
| rinkukokiri | wols_, well, it seems if one user logs out while another is logged in the network applet disappears from the gnome-panel and I then have no internet connection | 13:50 |
| david___ | so why the panels wont load :( | 13:51 |
| cdavis | How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am running natty on that kernel | 13:51 |
| rinkukokiri | Can anyone tell me an alternative way to connect to a wireless connection (in case the network applet crashes again?) | 13:51 |
| o__oll | david__, click log out. When you're logging back in there should be a dropdown box somwhere that allows you to chose your WM | 13:51 |
| o__oll | there select unity | 13:51 |
| wols_ | rinkukokiri: that's not a wlan problem but very very much sounds like the typical shitty network manager idiocy :P | 13:52 |
| david___ | i did | 13:52 |
| david___ | it wont load :( | 13:52 |
| rinkukokiri | wols_, well. is there an alternative? | 13:52 |
| wols_ | rinkukokiri: use wicd if you must have a network manager thingie or use /etc/network/interfaces directly | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | david__, you could try a 'unity --reset' or 'unity --reset-icons' | 13:52 |
| dr_willis | david__, ill exit lubuntu here and go to unity. I got kde, lxde and unity all installed... brb | 13:52 |
| david___ | ok i go try it i will be back | 13:53 |
| squantrill | Printing at cli works using lpr, openoffice printing works from firefox or other gnome apps it doesn't on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas where to look ? | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rinkukokiri: tried a different wireless channel? | 13:53 |
| david___ | plz tell dr_willis i brb | 13:53 |
| rinkukokiri | ActionParsnip, can't try another channel when i can't manage the connection. | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | rinkukokiri: use a wired connection, or another pc | 13:53 |
| rinkukokiri | ActionParsnip, that's not anywhere near what I was asking for... ._. | 13:54 |
| Castatroy | hello folks where does /etc/resolv.conf file get populated | 13:54 |
| * rinkukokiri realizes how useless this chat/release has become | 13:54 | |
| rinkukokiri | ty wols_ peace all | 13:54 |
| Castatroy | when i manually change it - it get overwritten | 13:54 |
| squantrill | nobody knows about printing ? | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | david__, i see the same issue here.. got Kubuntu+ Ubuntu + lubuntu installed.. first time ive tried unity since installig kde... panels are not loading | 13:55 |
| cdavis | Castatroy: dhcp will rewrite that file each time | 13:55 |
| wols_ | Castatroy: whenever you request a IP via dhcp it gets overwritten. there are several ways around it. the cleanest being a dhcp setting not to request a DNS server | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | david__, unity --replace made it come up however.. | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | david__, luckly i had a icon on the desktop to launch a terminal.. alt-f2 was not working either | 13:56 |
| wols_ | dr_willis: ctrl+alt+f2 is always there... | 13:56 |
| cdavis | Castatroy: /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf has a prepend section where you can put your own dns | 13:57 |
| cdavis | How can I download headers for linux-2.6.35-28 I need those headers because I am currently running natty on that kernel | 13:59 |
| === zaksoldier_ is now known as zaksoldier | ||
| david___ | :) thanks | 13:59 |
| dr_willis | !headers | 13:59 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 13:59 |
| david___ | when u said that | 13:59 |
| david___ | i searched for unity the i run that in KDE | 13:59 |
| Castatroy | cdavis: which parameter do i set for a nic in the /etc/net/interfaces file to set dns | 13:59 |
| david___ | now is works thanks :) | 14:00 |
| david___ | it* | 14:00 |
| wols_ | cdavis: packages.ubuntu.com also has it if your current sources.list doesn't have it | 14:00 |
| scarleo | I don't get any update notifications any more after updating to Natty | 14:00 |
| david___ | dr_willis thanks for the info | 14:00 |
| wols_ | Castatroy: do you use DHCP on that NIC? | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | david__, no idea why kde and unity would conflct like that. | 14:00 |
| Castatroy | wols_: please no | 14:01 |
| david___ | but look i searched on the start menu of the KDE Unity | 14:01 |
| wols_ | Castatroy: post-up script then I guess | 14:01 |
| david___ | the run that now it's working | 14:01 |
| cdavis | Castatroy: I don't think you can setup DNS in the interfaces file | 14:01 |
| david___ | then* | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | david__, no idea what you mean by that.. You expected to find 'unity' in the kde menus? | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | Running Unity under kde.. would be.. weird. :) | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | possible though | 14:02 |
| david___ | yah when u open KDE menus search for Unity | 14:02 |
| david___ | lol | 14:02 |
| david___ | yah it looks weird | 14:02 |
| Castatroy | cdavis: i guess thats where the difference lies between debian and ubuntu then | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | i cant even imagine why you would want to david__ | 14:02 |
| david___ | brb | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | I recall years ago accidently geting systems running gnome and kde both at the same time.. caused all sorts of weirdness | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | lxde+ unity2D = winning | 14:03 |
| AdvoWork | ive got a user "ftpmain" and im trying to make a user with pretty much the same permissions but so they can only view a certain folder when they login to my ftp. any ideas please? | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | so far i really havent seen much to relate unity to 'win' :) but it is getting improvements | 14:03 |
| david___ | ok back | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | Now if the panel icons and top menu bar would quit getting all messed up when i run a browser.. | 14:03 |
| dinkdink | i was on debian for a while.. locked up all the time | 14:04 |
| dinkdink | i was on 6.02 i believe it was | 14:04 |
| david___ | lol but did u try run it on KDE? | 14:04 |
| dinkdink | on ppc64 architecture of course | 14:04 |
| dr_willis | david__, i dont see the point of even trying thazt | 14:04 |
| dinkdink | no i went with fluxbox and xorg | 14:05 |
| dr_willis | You can run the gnome-panel on unity. :) | 14:05 |
| david___ | lol it looks cool | 14:05 |
| david___ | gnome????? | 14:05 |

| Jack___ | hey | 14:06 |
| dinkdink | o | 14:07 |
| Jack___ | hello all | 14:07 |

| zaksoldier | Hi man | 14:07 |
| Jack___ | can any 1 tell me how to remove ubuntu from windows boot | 14:07 |
| dinkdink | kde has better leaner running apps than gnome | 14:07 |
| david___ | look now u on Ubuntu? | 14:07 |
| zaksoldier | Manual delete maybe | 14:07 |
| Jack___ | no i am on windows | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, you did a WUBI install? | 14:07 |
| dinkdink | windows.. blehk | 14:08 |
| Jack___ | everytime i start windows asks me to choose win 7 or ubuntu .. | 14:08 |
| dr_willis | wubi/installing inside windows.. should have a entry in the add/remove programs tool. | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack___: how did you install it? | 14:08 |
| zaksoldier | Is good to choose | 14:08 |
| fa_effekt | is there a way to get ad hoc working on an ubuntu desktop? | 14:08 |
| Jack___ | i dont remember may be pen drive | 14:08 |
| david___ | dr_willis u are on Ubuntu? | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack___: do you have ubuntu still installed? | 14:08 |
| squantrill | could my printing problem be caused by gtk2 ? | 14:08 |
| Jack___ | no i have formatted that drive | 14:08 |
| zaksoldier | I did this also | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | fa_effekt: sure, use network manager | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | fa_effekt, ive either had it work... or not work at all. :( i think it may have some relationship to the esact wireless card/drivers. | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jack___: then use your windows install cd and reinstate the bootloader, ask in ##windows | 14:09 |
| zaksoldier | Install ubuntu if you are in windows | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | david__, using unity right now. so yes. | 14:09 |
| david___ | can login to KDE plz | 14:09 |
| fa_effekt | as of now the wireless card is reading all the wireless networks in the local area | 14:09 |
| david___ | can you* | 14:09 |
| lsolesen | How do I change what happens on shutdown in Natty? | 14:09 |
| Jack___ | isnt there any way to remove it from windows.? | 14:09 |
| dr_willis | david__, not right now | 14:10 |
| fa_effekt | but can't seem to get ad hoc to work | 14:10 |
| david___ | ok one more thing | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, if you did a FULL/Normal install - you will want to reinstall the windows bootloader. then delete the linux partitions | 14:10 |
| fa_effekt | cell phone can't see the ad hoc station | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, a wubi install - will have an add/remove programs entry | 14:10 |
| zaksoldier | From boot.ini | 14:10 |
| david___ | i want to run game like NFS HP 2010 on Ubuntu how i do that | 14:10 |
| Jack___ | yeah from boot.ini | 14:10 |
| Jack___ | how to do that | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | !wine | david__ | 14:10 |

| david___ | but i tryed that it wont let install that game idk why | 14:11 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, if its in your boot.ini then you did a wubi install i imagine... again.. see if theres a entry for it in the add/remove programs tool/ | 14:11 |
| zaksoldier | You will see 2 long lines delete 1 line that contains ubuntu and save | 14:11 |

| karthick87 | Where to get the firefox logs? | 14:12 |
| Jack___ | its not there in add/remove | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, it all depends on if you did a WUBI insatll.. or a normal install. | 14:12 |
| Jack___ | a normal install | 14:13 |
| dr_willis | Jack___, if its a normal insatll. Youi want to reinstall the windows bootloader. then delete the linux patitions. Unless you want to keep linux in some way | 14:13 |

| dinkdink | notice Jack___ sweden | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | Chotaz, ive heard bad things about brasero also.. try one fo the many other burning apps. | 14:19 |
| Jack___ | oh no friendly chat allowed here.? | 14:19 |
| Auriga | dr_willis, I have no issues with it thus far, just in Windows it makes a huge difference to productivity. In Linux though... The cube seems more valuable than a dual setup. | 14:19 |

| Lanlost | o__oll, AcetoneISO lets you make an ISO from a cdrom. I mounted the .ccd using gCDEmu. It mounts two seperate drives. One for the audio and fir the data. I then went to AcetoneISO and told it to make an audio image of /dev/sr0 (where it mounded the audio) and it made a bin that is like 80mb. Tehnically, this should work for the game as it will look for this portion of the disk anyway | 14:19 |
| Pici | Jack___: #ubuntu is strictly support. | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | I find the cube useless. | 14:19 |
| Lanlost | pici, before you say it for me too.. sorry | 14:19 |
| cloventt | Jack___: if you want to chat randomly go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:19 |
| Lanlost | I thought I was in offtopic | 14:19 |
| Chotaz | dr_willis, suggestion please? | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | !burn | 14:19 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | Chotaz, personally i always use k3b | 14:19 |
| o__oll | lanlost that should work, alternatively just rip the music and burn it as audio cd to a disc | 14:20 |
| o__oll | and instert that disk | 14:20 |
| dr_willis | xfburn seems ok also. | 14:20 |
| Stockholm_Angel | dr_willis: i feel Pici putting there kick ban bootson | 14:20 |
| dinkdink | wodim is great | 14:20 |
| dinkdink | growisofs too | 14:20 |
| Chotaz | huh, I dont feel like downloading a whole new dm just to get a burning app | 14:20 |
| dinkdink | both great | 14:21 |

| dr_willis | Chotaz, who said you had to.... | 14:21 |
| dinkdink | chotaz are you burning iso to cd | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | Chotaz, k3b is just a kde app.. | 14:21 |
| david___ | thanks for everything | 14:21 |
| Chotaz | i try to install k3b and it asks me to download 245MB worth of files, | 14:21 |
| dr_willis | Chotaz, big deal.... ive seen theme packs bigger then that. | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Chotaz: yep, because it uses Qt, not GTK | 14:22 |
| === zaksoldier_ is now known as zaksoldier | ||

| lenzoid | Help!!! after installing nvidia proprietary drivers I ended up with a ubuntu one-ish desktop. I uninstalled ubuntu-one though but it's still.. where did the old gnome UI go??? Pls help | 14:22 |
| === maxx is now known as Guest96834 | ||
| dr_willis | !classic | lenzoid | 14:23 |
| ubottu | lenzoid: 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". | 14:23 |
| dinkdink | chotaz do this sudo wodim --devices | 14:23 |
| dr_willis | No idea what Ubuntu-one-ish means.... | 14:23 |
| lenzoid | dr_willis: Thnks ;D | 14:23 |
| Chotaz | dinkdink, did | 14:23 |
| lenzoid | Unity, right that was its name.... | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | sounds like the nvidia drivers may not be in use.. or miss-installed. | 14:24 |
| dinkdink | Chotaz: sudo wodim -eject -tao speed=96 -v -data /dev/scd# /pat/to/image.iso | 14:24 |
| Rob_K | hi, i was wondering if there is a tool that lists any system changes like a changelog, perhaps any packages that have been added or removed? does such a tool exist?? thx | 14:25 |
| dinkdink | Chotaz: replace /dev/scd# with your actual burner and path to image to actual location of image | 14:25 |
| Chotaz | its a buncha files, not an iso, i'd use growisofs for that | 14:25 |
| AdvoWork | ive got 2 users that im trying to make the same. uid=1048(testuser) gid=2002(matrixdomain) groups=2002(matrixdomain) AND uid=2002(newuser) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),2002(matrixdomain) how do i make newuser have the gid 2002? | 14:25 |
| dinkdink | Chotaz: well cant help you there.. havent done that myself | 14:25 |
| Pici | Rob_K: There are a number of logs in /var/log for that. Look at /var/log/dpkg.log for package installs/removes | 14:26 |
| Chotaz | xfburn worked just fine, thanks dinkdink, ActionParsnip and dr_willis | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | yeah light apps with the day again :) | 14:26 |
| wols_ | AdvoWork: you can edit your /etc/passwd but be careful | 14:27 |
| Rob_K | Pici: thanks i will take a look. I do a weekly backup of my server, and i though if there was a tool to create a list of changes for the past week, it would be nice to include in the backup | 14:27 |

| dinkdink | Chotaz: working with images is less messy | 14:28 |
| Pici | Rob_K: I personally use logwatch, it sends me a daily email with log entries for the logs I want to look at. I believe you can specify the frequency as well. | 14:28 |

| sudokill | their website | 14:34 |
| ThinkT510 | !backtrack | monkey | 14:34 |
| ubottu | monkey: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 14:34 |
| bazhang | monkey, go to backtrack channel for that | 14:34 |
| dinkdink | backtrack has a channel here bro | 14:34 |
| * dr_willis wonders why beginners always seem to want to use backtrack,. | 14:34 | |
| sudokill | makes people leet | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | monkey: ask in #backtrack-linux | 14:34 |
| * edbian wonders why backtrack people always seem to come to the #ubuntu channel | 14:34 | |
| dr_willis | !manual | monkey | 14:34 |

| dr_willis | edbian, i think the bt people havent changed the irc client to go else where by defaultg | 14:35 |
| * sudokill think it's funny some people use backtrack as their main os, because they think it's more secure | 14:35 | |
| dinkdink | is that what it is | 14:35 |
| dr_willis | edbian, go file a bug report on their site. :) | 14:35 |

| dinkdink | i want to ask about the minimal cd | 14:36 |
| dinkdink | has anyone actually installed here | 14:36 |
| sudokill | what ubuntu? | 14:37 |
| dr_willis | !minimal | 14:37 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:37 |
| dinkdink | well if i do it it's gonna be oneiric.. i'm on lucid | 14:37 |
| bazhang | dinkdink, yes, what's the question | 14:38 |
| sudokill | i was wondering about minimal | 14:38 |
| edbian | dr_willis: ha, Maybe I will... | 14:38 |
| sudokill | is it similar to arch? | 14:38 |
| Pici | sudokill: Its Ubuntu with nearly nothing installed. | 14:39 |
| dinkdink | i don't really have a question of specificity i just want to know in general how does it compare to ubuntu server because i need the optimum low resource install for ppc64.. just found out about lubuntu-desktop and it runs faster than fluxbox on xorg | 14:39 |
| sudokill | yea, but is the installer similar to arch? | 14:39 |
| bazhang | sudokill, no idea | 14:39 |
| ThinkT510 | sudokill: sort of, it gives you a core system which you can build up from (but arch is rolling-release) | 14:39 |
| sudokill | i know | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | dinkdink: then use lubuntu then, server has no X server so will be even faster | 14:40 |
| sudokill | ubuntu minimal sounds good | 14:40 |
| dinkdink | ActionParsnip: i am on lubntu now | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | dinkdink: its all I use :) | 14:40 |
| dinkdink | ActionParsnip: but if i were to minimal install rather than server install would that be worth it | 14:40 |
| penquite | Hi all | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dinkdink: not really, if you want a server install server. If you want minimal, use minimal | 14:41 |
| dinkdink | arch is rolling-release, can you elaborate. i thought arch was another distro | 14:42 |
| sudokill | arch constantly updates | 14:42 |
| sudokill | like gentoo | 14:42 |
| sudokill | no new release every 6 months | 14:42 |
| Auriga | dinkdink, when you update Arch, that is the latest release. | 14:42 |

| Kartagis | edbian: and then? | 14:51 |
| edbian | Kartagis: I'm thinking. | 14:51 |

| ikonia | Roasted: ahhh, my apologies, in that case, no I don't believe it will work, but I'm not %100 certain | 15:17 |
| gamer1990 | I can't install gnome-icon-themes-extra, I get only this message: http://pastebin.com/722jDVD6 | 15:17 |
| zerium1 | ActionParsnip: wasn't there but i looked up how to set it... do i need to reboot for the changes to take effect? | 15:18 |
| suigeneris | hi | 15:18 |
| Roasted | ikonia, all right. I'm trying to get my non-CD drive laptop to boot F15, but unetbootin seems to fail when I make a flash drive. Other users in the Fedora chat confirmed unetbootin's issues with it, so I was trying to find alternatives, such as DD (also failed) and ubuntu's startup disk gizmo. | 15:18 |
| ikonia | gamer1990: broken package | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Roasted: I think your onto a dead one with the startup disk creator tool | 15:18 |
| suigeneris | is it a bug that I can't type in mount point field when installing natty? | 15:18 |
| gamer1990 | the package is broken since last year | 15:18 |
| Roasted | ikonia, it won't work it seems. It won't even allow me to select Fedora, yet Gparted, lubuntu, ubuntu, edubuntu, and my other ISOs are fine to select. sigh... | 15:18 |
| adoet_t | can gnome 3 installed on ubuntu lucid? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | adoet_t: gnome 3 is not a supported/stable package in ubuntu | 15:19 |
| ikonia | (well the gnome-shell gnome3 enivornment) | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | adoet_t: with a ppa, yes | 15:20 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: what version ubuntu are you on? | 15:20 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, 11.04 | 15:20 |
| w00 | I have in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades set: APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; but i would like to know how can i check that it *really* updated the package list? | 15:20 |
| Roasted | ikonia, 11.10 ships with Gnome 3 though, right? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | Roasted: no, not properly, it's still the unity/gnome environment | 15:21 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: no sound at all? have you tried changing settings on the panel's sound preferences? (e.g. unmuting?) | 15:21 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, no sound card is being displayed just the pulseaudio dummy card. | 15:21 |
| v_y | will ubuntu11 live installed on a usb stick have a persistent fs? | 15:21 |
| Roasted | ikonia, well I know Unity comes by default, but Unity (starting with 11.10) will be Gnome 3 based, so Gnome Shell, I would think, would work as good as any other distro once you install Gnome Shell. Eh?? | 15:22 |
| ikonia | Roasted: 11.04 is gnome 3 based | 15:22 |
| Roasted | ikonia, I'm almost certain that isn't true... | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: you sure ;) | 15:22 |
| Roasted | ikonia, in fact I'm positive Unity is based on 2.X | 15:22 |
| ikonia | parts of it certainly is | 15:22 |
| Pici | ikonia, Roasted: gnome3? do you mean gtk3? | 15:22 |
| BlouBlou | ikonia: it's gnome2 with parts of gtk3 | 15:22 |
| Roasted | Pici, I suppose. I just know it as Gnome 2.X or Gnome 3.0, etc. | 15:22 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: ah no sound card detected at all, has it ever worked in the past? what environment? | 15:22 |
| krux | http://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/ you try jhbuild ?.. to get gnome3 | 15:23 |
| Pici | Roasted: They're not the same thing. | 15:23 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: thank you, that's a better description | 15:23 |
| ikonia | Roasted: BlouBlou's got it better | 15:23 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, yes it worked OK on here up until some updates were ran. I tried to revert back without any luck. | 15:23 |
| Roasted | ikonia, gotcha. | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: ahhh that explains a lot | 15:23 |
| Roasted | I certainly hope 11.10's Gnome Shell support is solid. It was just added to 11.10's official repos, so that says something | 15:24 |
| Roasted | I think I'll venture over to the +1 room though | 15:24 |

| jebula | jkbrntot, already installed | 15:58 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: yes a dell | 15:58 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: i tried a usb also same thing | 15:58 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, u sure they havent locked it down? | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, whats the prompt exactly? does the live-usb even boot? | 15:59 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: well i mean if they did is there anything i could about it? maybe flash the bios with a different one? | 15:59 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, very risky | 15:59 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, this is a laptop you bought FROM dell? or what exactly? | 15:59 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: it goes like as if its about tot ake me to the livecd but then asks me to login | 15:59 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, if they have locked it down u prolly cant flash a new bios ... even if you could they would know and u prolly couldnt access the company network | 16:00 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: its a dell but i got it for free | 16:00 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, i would make a live usb boot and work with that | 16:00 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, ahhhhhh its ur now? | 16:00 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: it wont let me get that far | 16:00 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, could be a video card issue. You could try the 'nomodeset' option, or try the alt-installer cd. | 16:00 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: see if you have the following apt installed: libao-common, libmikmod2, libao4, linux-sound-base, libsox-fmt-alsa, libasound2-plugins, libsox1b | 16:00 |
| sveinse | dr_willis: It was not related to saved session, as it happens on a newly created user as well. Nor did reinstall of every package *nautilus* package help | 16:00 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, what exact model is it? | 16:00 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: dell inspiron 1100 | 16:01 |
| dr_willis | sveinse, bummer... | 16:01 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: yes its mine | 16:01 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: i will try that | 16:01 |
| mosmo | @dr_willis: I can't seem to enter the GRUB settings on boot, neither with pressing shift nor ESC | 16:01 |
| mosmo | Is there another way? | 16:01 |
| sveinse | Does meld work on your machines? | 16:01 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, thats an old assed laptop no? | 16:01 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, ok? | 16:01 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: yes haha | 16:02 |
| MoonTiger | mosmo, maybe boot into it and set the manual log on ... then reboot and change the default session to console ... then reboot | 16:02 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: but as far as i know ubuntu works great with older models | 16:02 |
| jkbrntot | jebula it's all installed? | 16:02 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, yes | 16:02 |
| marekdef | hi guys, If I have 2 activities 1 is using service and is starting other activity | 16:02 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, i would think the usb ports are 1.1 and the cd drive prolly cannot read the discs you are using | 16:03 |
| marekdef | shall I close the connection to the service before I launch new one ? | 16:03 |
| MoonTiger | the xp disk will work as its a prpoerly copied mass produced disk | 16:03 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: the cd drive is a dvd rom | 16:03 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: did you just install some right now, or they were already existing on your system? | 16:03 |
| MoonTiger | so... burn a new disk and burn it at 1 or 2 times speed | 16:03 |
| jebula | jkbrntot, some were installed after running apt-get | 16:03 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: what do u mean the alt installer? | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, ive had quirky desktop systems taht grub would not properly work with a USB keyboard. but would with a PS2 keyvoard.. there a legacy-usb setting the bios that might fix that. | 16:04 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, it *is* set to boot from dvd yes? | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | !alternative | 16:04 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 16:04 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: yes i direct it through the boot menu | 16:04 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, ok just checkin | 16:04 |
| mosmo | dr_willis, I'm trying to manually edit the grub.cfg with nano now | 16:04 |
| mosmo | Is this a bad idea? | 16:04 |
| MoonTiger | doesnt ubuntu use grub2? | 16:04 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: it takes a longtime to read and then takes me to a login screen | 16:04 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | MoonTiger, latest releases default to grub2 yes | 16:05 |
| === Juo_ is now known as Juo | ||
| MoonTiger | so manually editing the grub.cfg isnt smart as it will get overwritten next time something updates it | 16:05 |
| sveinse | Can anyone with an updated natty system test if meld is working, please? | 16:05 |
| mosmo | [17:05] <dr_willis> mosmo, thats one way.. not a great way.. but a way | 16:05 |
| mosmo | Okay | 16:06 |
| mosmo | Do I need to append the "text" after the line beginning with "initrd"? | 16:06 |
| mosmo | Or the one with "linux" | 16:06 |
| MoonTiger | mosmo .... you will have to edit one of the /etc/grub.d/files | 16:06 |
| MoonTiger | i think it's 10 or 20 | 16:06 |
| === Knukles is now known as Knukles[absent] | ||
| mosmo | MoonTiget, already in the file | 16:06 |
| MoonTiger | that will contain the lines you need to edit | 16:06 |
| zerium1 | anyone know which option in compiz it is to scale the left side launcher bar thing? | 16:06 |
| MoonTiger | then do grub-mkconfig | 16:06 |
| MoonTiger | and it will check the file | 16:07 |
| mosmo | Okay, thanks | 16:07 |
| rubenjr | any recommendations on the install? | 16:07 |
| MoonTiger | then you can do "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 16:07 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' | 16:07 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, very odd .... so no usb boot works (too old) and cant boot from dvd ... is it external dvd? | 16:07 |
| mosmo | [17:07] <dr_willis> mosmo, replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' | 16:08 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, the proper way is edit the /etc/default/grub then rerun update-grub | 16:08 |
| mosmo | Okay, thanks | 16:08 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: no internal | 16:08 |
| jkbrntot | jebula: try rebooting now (to be sure) and see if your sound card is detected... | 16:08 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: but it is a dvd rom | 16:08 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: booting off the usb works the same as the cd | 16:08 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, can it read the ubuntu dvd from windows? | 16:08 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: yes it detects it | 16:08 |
| mosmo | dr_willis, I see, thanks - I'm trying if it works and then I'll do it the proper way | 16:08 |
| MoonTiger | and sees the files? | 16:08 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: lets me go in and view all the files on the dvd | 16:08 |
| MoonTiger | ok | 16:09 |
| rubenjr | wierd | 16:09 |
| Kravilanth | @rubenjr I had issues booting from a DVD-ROM on a dell laptop as well. I ended up using a different DVD-ROM and my problem was resolved. | 16:09 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, hmmmmmm i wonder if they have flashed a custom bios .... can u update the bios from windows? | 16:09 |
| zerium1 | is there a way to put a python script in the unity launch bar? | 16:09 |
| rubenjr | Kravilanth: what happens if this is the only dvd rom i have | 16:09 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: i will try that | 16:09 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: wait i forgot i fomated the hard drive already | 16:10 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: should i put xp and try to flash the bios? | 16:10 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, i have never heard of companies doing custom bios builds but im riunning out of ideas why you have this problem | 16:10 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, so blank hdd and no OS right? | 16:10 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: im not sure either cause i mean like i can try the usb but it does the same thing. | 16:10 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: i had xp on it 20 monites ago but i formatted it and even with xp on it it did the same thing | 16:11 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, exactly what happens when it boots from usb / dvd? | 16:11 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: exactly the same thing | 16:11 |
| MoonTiger | what login does it take you to? | 16:11 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: takes just as long and brings me to the same login screen | 16:11 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: and i know its not the cd cause i tried it on my sisters computer ad it worked fine | 16:11 |
| dr_willis | this is the BASH Login screen? | 16:11 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, it isnt set to boot from the network is it? | 16:12 |
| dr_willis | take hd out. put in usb enclosuer, install to it from a differnt pc. replace it in problem pc. :) as a work around | 16:12 |
| MoonTiger | dr_willis, good call | 16:12 |
| mosmo | dr_willis, Stuff went wrong apparently | 16:12 |
| rubenjr | wait what | 16:12 |
| mosmo | After booting and entering GRUB, the screen remains black | 16:12 |
| mosmo | This isn't a huge problem it's a fresh install anyways | 16:13 |
| mosmo | Do you know any way out maybe? | 16:13 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: how do i install it form another pc? | 16:13 |
| sveinse | meld fails because "import gtk" fails. py complains about "_gtk" missing from /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py. But I cannot find that this file belongs to any package! (I'm hoping I'm wrong) | 16:13 |
| MoonTiger | mosmo, sounds like a problem to me :) | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, plug hd into other pc.. boot cd/whatever | 16:13 |
| mosmo | The monitor means: ANALOG OUT OF RANGE 92 khz / 58 hz | 16:13 |
| zerium1 | can i change the archive manager to automatically extract an archive instead of opening? | 16:13 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, what login screen do you get to after boot? im curious | 16:13 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: its a laptop though | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, that means grub is sending info that the monitor cant handle. | 16:13 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, thats why i mentiooned a usb enclosuer... | 16:13 |
| karlshea | any ideas on why the exit status of mountpoint would be wrong? | 16:14 |
| mosmo | I'll boot it up with the live USB and fix the GRUB file | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, i have to tell grub to use a 640x480 res screen here for this monitor.. heres my grub.cfg | 16:14 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: the normal login screen except the name is ubuntu and i tried t login as ubuntu and enter as password it brings me to the same login screen again | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/629869/ | 16:14 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: what do u mean by a usb enclosure? | 16:14 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, a box you put a hard drive in, that ciovnerts it into a USB hard drive | 16:15 |
| mosmo | Thank you | 16:15 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, wait what? i thought you said u cant install anything? | 16:15 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: i cant it doesnt even let me boot up to the live cd. but it lets me install windows xp | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, so it IS biooting the ubuntu cd.. and going to the bash prompt. which leads us to either a weird video card, or optical drive issue with reading the cd. | 16:15 |
| LemonyZ | Evening | 16:15 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, the alternative cd - might work. | 16:15 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: ahh okay and where do i get one of those? | 16:15 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, so you mean the xp login screen? | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, the store. or the internetz | 16:16 |
| mosmo | Oh look @ dr_willis | 16:16 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: no xp works fine it brings me to the ubuntu login screen right before the live cd | 16:16 |
| mosmo | I can still access the PC via SSH | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, that makes it even easier.... | 16:16 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, i thought you said u wiped the hdd? | 16:16 |
| rubenjr | MoonTiger: it is | 16:16 |
| mosmo | Yes | 16:16 |

| jordotech | whats up! I just used Cntr+z to put a process in the background but its stopped.... how can i view all the stopped processes running? | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | mosmo, edit /etc/default/grub and uncomment the 640x480 line, uncomment the 'make a sound beep' line also so you can hear it beep so you know it booted if it dosent work. :) and run update-grub | 16:17 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: is there a way to install it with means of no graphics? | 16:17 |
| MoonTiger | rubenjr, the server edition maybe? | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | rubenjr, the alt-cd is a text based installer.. it dosent need a fancy gfx card. | 16:17 |
| MoonTiger | ahhhhhh or that | 16:17 |
| rubenjr | dr_willis: do u know where i can download the alt cd? | 16:18 |

| dr_willis | mosmo, enable the text menu for grub. and remove the 'quiet splash' words in the /etc/default/grub | 16:19 |
| mosmo | I'm using Xubuntu, just by the way | 16:19 |
| sveinse | meld is trying to import gtk, and it tries /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/cairo/__init__.py, while the python-gtk2 package locates the file at /usr/share/pyshared/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py . I'm confused why it behaves this way. Remnants of maverick perhaps? | 16:19 |
| mosmo | Do I enable the text menu just by removing quiet splash? | 16:19 |
| dr_willis | plymouth causes more problems then its worth | 16:19 |
| mosmo | And what exactly is plymouth | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | theres a line in the /etc/default/grub that enables the text grub menu.. check the file | 16:20 |
| dr_willis | !plymouth | 16:20 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 16:20 |

| sveinse | Python anyone? My system (natty am,d64) has a populated /usr/lib/pymodules/ dir while it seems no package has any files there, yet my python seems to prefer importing from this directory.

| lolzer | dr_willis, but i have no other option.. after the upgrade.... there seems to be some serious compatibilty problems// i now even have no support for laptop camera | 16:33 |
| dr_willis | seems the pymodules dirs are just links to the pyshared directory of the proper version /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 | 16:33 |

| dr_willis | thats the whole bug? the fav-icon? :) | 16:49 |
| Abhijit | dr_willis, i selected the location perfectly but it just selects the location its still not affecting the change of time to UTC. also is UTC=GMT am i right? becuaes there is only option gmt and not utc | 16:49 |

| abstrakt | how do I determine what timezone my server thinks it lives in? | 17:18 |
| abstrakt | and how do I determine whether the server thinks the internal clock is set to GMT or not? | 17:18 |
| abstrakt | it seems like this server thinks it's on GTM, which would suggest that the internal clock is in fact set to GMT but the system timezone hasn't been set yet | 17:18 |
| abstrakt | although, to be truthful i don't actually know the physical location of the server | 17:19 |
| sipior | quixotep: unfortunately, apple has ensured that other players won't connect to an itunes daap export. you can copy your music folder to a linux box, or simply export the volume from the mac via nfs (that might be a bit clunky, though) | 17:19 |
| abstrakt | ok, nevermind, it's in texas :) | 17:19 |

| ntr0py | Yes but its very unstable in Natty... I cant use Compiz control center because it always crashes... | 18:06 |
| dr_willis | shp, it would depend on the app. ive done so with xchat in the past. | 18:06 |
| shp | i created symbolic links but developpers renamed mumble.sqlite into .mumble.sqlite so it does not match | 18:06 |
| dr_willis | ntr0py, ive had more issues with Unity then i have compiz. there are some guides on using the older compiz in natty. | 18:06 |
| ntr0py | All i get is "unity-window-de[1653]: segfault at ffffffff ip 00007f344fb5e2b6 sp 00007fff26b09e50 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.6[7f344fafe000+ed000]" | 18:06 |

| Ahtenus | sipior, Ok, I'll try it | 18:19 |
| dr_willis | penlat_, no hulu there by default. :) i had to add it via the menus | 18:20 |
| dr_willis | dosent like flash. so thats a fail it seems | 18:20 |

| robot_jesus | hey whats the name of that quick launch app for ubuntu where I start typing the program name and it auto completes it and executes it ? | 18:21 |

| go7enks | hello guys! Need help on a quick question | 18:22 |
| lafon | is calibre a redundant program? | 18:22 |
| go7enks | related to installing ubuntu on dual boot | 18:22 |
| dr_willis | !info calibre | 18:22 |
| ubottu | calibre (source: calibre): e-book converter and library management. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.7.44+dfsg-1build1 (natty), package size 9311 kB, installed size 34012 kB | 18:22 |
| penlat_ | dr_willis, i guess it wont work then | 18:23 |
| thegladiator | ubuntu-offtopic | 18:23 |
| lafon | what i mean is that synaptic states it as needing autoremove | 18:23 |
| dr_willis | penlat_, it may be possible to put the flash plugin in some .miro dir. i was thinking it was based on firefox.. or am i thinking of 'songbird' or perhaps both are... | 18:24 |
| go7enks | I have Windows 7 installed on my Laptop and there are 3 partitions: SDA 1 some recovery partition of 15 gb; SDA 2 Win 7 loader 105 mb and SDA 3 main partition of 480+ gb | 18:24 |
| go7enks | can I just change the size of SDA 3 during the installation? | 18:24 |
| go7enks | withotu losing any data? | 18:24 |
| dr_willis | penlat_, http://askubuntu.com/search?q=miro+flash dosent look good. | 18:25 |
| penlat_ | dr_willis, hmmm, i have to find what folder to put plugin | 18:25 |
| wols_ | go7enks: theoretically yes, in practive you always need backups. and you need to create an extended partition | 18:25 |
| Avenger101 | @go7enks:i think no | 18:25 |
| wols_ | go7enks: resizing a partition without backups is always risky | 18:25 |
| go7enks | well I backed up, actually, there's nothing on my laptop that I might use and I created a recovery disk | 18:26 |
| wols_ | then go for it :) | 18:26 |
| go7enks | would it be less risky if I did it via Win 7 partition manager? | 18:26 |
| go7enks | or it's the same? | 18:26 |
| wols_ | you can also, if you want, get the latest gparted live cd, and resize partitions with that | 18:26 |
| wols_ | same risk basically | 18:26 |
| g0rd0n | i have this problem with locales: http://pastebin.com/aMY9pGZG how can i fix it? | 18:26 |
| dinkdink | gparted works wonders on resizing ntfs | 18:27 |
| Avenger101 | Use partitionmanager | 18:27 |
| wols_ | and I'd rather use a live cd which isn't running off that partition you are resizing. | 18:27 |
| go7enks | so gparted is basically my safest choice | 18:27 |
| wols_ | g0rd0n: tried dpkg-reconfigure locales? | 18:27 |
| go7enks | via gparted live cd or usb | 18:27 |
| go7enks | right | 18:28 |
| go7enks | ? | 18:28 |
| wols_ | imho yes | 18:28 |
| g0rd0n | wols_: read the paste... thats the response to the command | 18:28 |
| g0rd0n | i dont even get the possibility to change the locales | 18:28 |
| g0rd0n | just get those errors and thrown back to console | 18:28 |
| go7enks | ok, i'll try that, if I have other questions I'll come back :p | 18:28 |
| go7enks | thanks | 18:28 |
| dr_willis | I find windows 7 resizes ntfs faster then gparted does.. but that dosent do much good if you dont have windows7 :) | 18:28 |
| wols_ | g0rd0n: set every LC variable to "C" | 18:29 |
| wols_ | e.g. export LANG=C | 18:29 |
| wols_ | then try again | 18:29 |
| g0rd0n | wols_: now i dont get those errors anymore, but nothing happens... i press enter and i am back to console prompt | 18:29 |
| CestSebastian | hi, is there a svn command to find the url of the svn repo for the local working copy? | 18:30 |
| wols_ | dr_willis: I don't care about speed. I care about my data and the time needed to restore if it goes tits up. so I rather use a PE or live cd to mangle it than run from the partition I am mangling | 18:30 |
| tomacco | untu | 18:30 |
| wols_ | g0rd0n: you need to read more carefully: there is no error | 18:30 |
| === tomacco is now known as dlublink | ||
| g0rd0n | wols_: but how do i install new locales then? i thought dpkg-reconfigure locales was the way to go | 18:31 |
| dr_willis | !locale | 18:31 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 18:31 |
| dr_willis | I normally remove locals :) | 18:31 |
| classico | ok so I make 1 primary partition for swap, then one extended partition with all my linuxes (each one in a logical partition), and one big primary data partition (ext4?) | 18:31 |
| wols_ | g0rd0n: it normally is. what is your debconf setting? | 18:31 |
| dr_willis | classico, they can all be logicals in an extended if you wanted to | 18:31 |
| eiriksvin | does anyone know of a great eq with a nice gui? I'm trying to jam some sick bassnectar and I want to be able to mix my subs in and have a graphical gui eq | 18:32 |
| go7enks | sorry guys, another question. if I'm installing ubuntu via live cd, having booted with it, it's safe to resize directly during installation? or it's the same thing we were discussing before? | 18:32 |
| dinkdink | classico: multiple.. linuxes.. ? | 18:32 |
| * dr_willis reads eiriksvin 's question 3 times to figure out what hes asking for,,, | 18:32 | |
| wols_ | go7enks: it uses the same programs as gparted, yes | 18:33 |
| dr_willis | !dj | 18:33 |
| classico | oh the logical think does not change the performances? | 18:33 |
| wols_ | classico: no | 18:33 |
| rumpe1 | go7enks, it's never "safe" to modify partitions... do backup | 18:33 |
| classico | think=thing | 18:33 |
| dr_willis | classico, it shouldent. | 18:33 |
| dinkdink | classico: if memory serves you can have up to 4 primary partitions | 18:33 |
| classico | ok thanks guys | 18:33 |
| eiriksvin | I need a gui eq so I can change my bass/mid/treble | 18:33 |
| dr_willis | 4 primary max. ONE of which can be a Extended.. holding a large # of logicals | 18:34 |
| llutz | classico: there is no practical difference between logical/primary | 18:34 |
| classico | i spent hours yesterday researching that stuff | 18:34 |
| classico | especially in the ubuntu documentation, haven't found what you just said | 18:34 |
| dr_willis | eiriksvin, ive seen Pulse Audio Sound Equilizers. but it was some unofficial app. not in the default repos. I must have seen it mentioned once at the omgubuntu, or webupd8 web site. | 18:34 |
| classico | is it easy to update the ubuntu documentation or to just add a note or something? | 18:35 |
| dinkdink | eiriksvin: i think alsa does that | 18:35 |

| dr_willis | Avenger101, winff, or ffmpeg or mencoder. | 18:37 |
| llutz | Avenger101: mencoder, ffmpeg, | 18:37 |
| llutz | grr | 18:37 |
| dr_willis | winff - gui to ffmpeg. very easy to use. :) | 18:38 |
| Avenger101 | Dr_willis: thanx bro, i'll try | 18:39 |
| dr_willis | the ffmpeg homepage has some presets that are not in the normal repo installed version also.. good for android users. | 18:40 |

| chalcedony | matt1888, what did you do exactly? | 19:08 |
| dinkdink | chalcedony: worst case scenario just back up your files and reinstall the operating system | 19:09 |

| lafon | @chalcedony: not even with livecd/usb? | 19:10 |
| dinkdink | chalcedony: not had a lot of foraying into the murky depths of banishment from the system however if you can get a livecd you could .. | 19:11 |

| computerx | G'day. Is there any way to limit the CPU usage of 1 program? Not like nice, but cap it at say 80% CPU use? | 19:12 |
| dinkdink | chalcedony: if you can get a livecd you can also search the drive for badblocks | 19:12 |

| wols_ | computerx: yes there is. look into cgroups | 19:14 |
| Spodey | Evening - can anyone help me work out why my machine hangs on boot if I have a DVI device plugged in? If I wait until half way through the boot process and plug it in, it's fine. | 19:14 |
| computerx | k, thanks both | 19:14 |
| wols_ | chalcedony: you can use smartmon-tools to check for bad sectors from a running system just fine | 19:14 |
| wols_ | Spodey: kmodeset? fb? | 19:14 |
| Spodey | wols_: Is that a question or a statement? I'm wondering if it might be grub related... | 19:15 |
| dinkdink | edwardthefma: i routinely sudo touch /forcefsck but if you are talking scaning for bad sectors then badblocks is the thing to use, have to unmount the drive | 19:15 |
| chalcedony | wols_, live cd sounds right it's just doing it. (i'm still quite sick, recovering from an inefection) | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: hehe | 19:16 |
| wols_ | Spodey: possibley reasons for it going blank | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: i call my mum dude too | 19:16 |
| Spodey | wols_: It's not just going blank - it freezes the whole machine | 19:16 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, ah i see! :) | 19:16 |
| edwardthefma | <dinkdink> i want it to check the whole drive for errors | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | chalcedony: i'll call you dudette :0 | 19:17 |
| dinkdink | Spodey: what's in your inittab | 19:17 |
| Czaruno2011 | Hi all, I think I have a simple question for you guys. I have a fresh Wubi Ubuntu 11.04 install and I tried changing just one thing. I added synergyc to the 'Startup Applications Preferences' and unfortunately now the login screen is not acting normally. I can boot to a command line but I can't find where I can either reset or remove the entry I made into 'Startup Applications Preferences' from the command line to get things bac | 19:18 |
| chalcedony | ActionParsnip, fine son, that will be just great :) | 19:18 |
| Spodey | dinkdink: I don't think I have an inittab | 19:18 |
| Spodey | And besides - I don't think it's getting that far - I don't get an SSD Daemon | 19:19 |
| chalcedony | did you ever try to wake up a guy that can't hear, feel or talk, to ask him for a *working* live cd.. when he keeps them all, working or not? | 19:19 |

| Czaruno2011 | ubottu, from my understanding items in these preferences do not load at boot up but after you login to the window manager, so I don't think the boot option references you sent apply. | 19:20 |

| wols_ | IAmError_: nothing neded. simply running "wine <executable>". what is the error? | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | wols_: wine likes the file it is using to be marked executable | 19:22 |

| ActionParsnip | shp: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see it? | 19:27 |
| lafon | shp: is the windows filesystem mounted? | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | shp, sudo update-grub in the terminal , to start | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | IAmError_: what are you trying to run? | 19:28 |
| IAmError_ | actionparsnip: doesn't matter anymore. it's too much of a hassle. i'll just keep switchin back and forth between partitions seeing as how linux is good for nothing but net browsing and elitist idealists who just want to show off | 19:29 |
| shp | ActionParsnip, yes can see it thanks i'm gonna mount it | 19:29 |

Is there a way to ALWAYS be in command so I don't have to change permissions? | 19:32 |
| BluesKaj | IAmError_, perhaps there's a linux equivalent to the app, have you done any research | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Shp: yeah its one good thing of wubi. I suggest you run: ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Files | 19:32 |
| IAmError_ | Blueskaj: there isn't. | 19:33 |

If I alt-ctrl-f1 it takes about 5 minutes to get a login prompt. another 5 to 10 before I get a bash prompt. ther | 20:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | e's nothing listed in dmesg when this happens. no other programs give me issues. I have an nvidia 6800gtoc and I'm using the recommended driver (dual head config) | 20:05 |
| clix | can you get a list of available kernel modules? I want to find one for my wireless card | 20:05 |

| C4colo | I have a 1TB mirrored array that was encrypted prior to an upgrade and now when I unlock it, well, it just says "unpartitioned" | 20:08 |
| Foloex | I have some trouble with my network interface, it's acting wierd. It's working during short periods. My dmesg is full of "eth0: link up" (but no link down). It use to be working fine. I'm running 11.04 amd64 desktop with a r8169 chipset. | 20:08 |
| kvarley | When I do "tar jcvf archive.tar.bz2 /home/kvarley/Documents" it makes the archive BUT within it there are folders home kvarley, I just want it to put Documents in there. What am I doing wrong? | 20:08 |
| C4colo | no data there | 20:08 |
| Renekton | I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and wanna know if is possible to start wireless connection before fstab... | 20:09 |
| C4colo | 8.04 everything there, do an upgrade to 10.04 and it is now an empty partition | 20:09 |
| BlouBlou | C4colo: All applications had been upgraded | 20:09 |
| clix | llutz, that shows active modules? or installed ones? or just what's in /lib/modules? I mean can i see a list of modules from ubuntu servers that i can install? | 20:09 |
| C4colo | so a new version of encryption will not decrypt when given the same passphrase? | 20:09 |
| jakemp | I just made firefox visible in all desktops, how do I undo this? | 20:09 |
| llutz | clix: it show modules available, used modules to list "lsmod" | 20:09 |
| C4colo | should that not be disclosed during the upgrade process? | 20:09 |

| SockPants | hi all | 20:10 |

| SockPants | i'm trying to make a usb drive with the latest install on it to install on my netbook | 20:10 |
| SockPants | i'm using a mac | 20:10 |
| clix | ok, so I have some 80211 modules in kernel/net/wireless how do i install new ones? | 20:10 |
| SockPants | the mac will read the usb drive i've made, the windows netbook will say i need to format it and it will not boot from the usb key. | 20:11 |
| lafon | did you make the usb bootable? | 20:11 |
| SockPants | doesn't say i need to anywhere | 20:11 |
| llutz | clix: either install packages containing new modules, a new kernel-package or build modules yourself | 20:11 |
| lafon | did you extraxt the .iso to the usb or use a program? | 20:11 |
| SockPants | lafon: i followed the instructions on the site. they involve converting the iso to an img file and then dd'ing it to the usb drive. | 20:12 |
| C4colo | also, while I'm here, I edited the stupid gconf-editor setting for the button_layout and it did nothing to move the buttons back to where they belong. Is there another user-specific override for that setting? | 20:12 |
| clix | llutz, right, so where's the list of packages containing new modules, so i can install the right one? | 20:12 |
| mBull | hi, anyone experience with dyndns, or a similar service to provide dns serverices? | 20:12 |
| C4colo | I have done that on 20 other systems and it always seems to work, what did I do on my desktop that prevented that setting from moving the buttons | 20:12 |
| lafon | SockPants: try finding an app that'll do it for you and then see | 20:12 |
| llutz | clix: what exactly do you miss/need/want? | 20:12 |
| SockPants | i'm wondering whether the instructions only work if you want to actually install ubuntu on a mac, not just any computer. that doesn't seem likely though | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Mbull: i use no-ip | 20:13 |
| C4colo | but more importantly, why the fuck isn't my encryption string decrypting the volume anymore? | 20:13 |
| SockPants | why would i need an app, the instructions are on the official site. | 20:13 |

| C4colo | anyway, seems the disk utility doesn't like my fstab entry so it was mounting it at /media/VOLUMELABEL instead of where I told it to, and add that to the fact that the disk manager doesn't know it doesn't know how to read encrypted partition tables it is saying it is unpartitioned | 20:32 |

| alienmindtrick | I'm using Google Chrome in Natty and I have problems with Java on some sites. I'm using the current Java 6-26 version. Any idea what I can do? | 20:43 |
| nnull | when performing eg: "apt-get install firefox" --- where does apt-get put the tar.gz files before it makes them? equivelent of c:/windows/temp ? | 20:43 |
| ManoloMtnez | nnull: /temp ? | 20:43 |
| sburwood1 | BluesKaj: I have everything enabled except for Opera beta. That should include what I need, no? | 20:43 |
| ManoloMtnez | nnull: Sorry /tmp I meant | 20:44 |
| sburwood1 | BluesKaj: And I even tried 10.10 and Windows XP in VirtualBox, so I have a real problem | 20:44 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: Have you tried Chromium? | 20:44 |
| llutz | nnull: /var/cache/apt/archives except its .deb and not tar.gz | 20:44 |
| BluesKaj | sburwood1, everything ? how did opera repository get in there ? | 20:44 |
| nnull | hmm ManoloMtnez , im assuming apt-get deletes the files after making them then.. which makes sense i suppose.. mmk, thanks. | 20:45 |

| HelloWorld123 | but my CD-Rom is physically busted (won't open); for whatever reason my USB installer won't boot. Is there a way to double check the USB installer to make sure it's valid? It looks valid from doing ls on it, but I don't know what I'm looking for. | 20:51 |

| SockPants | Galvatron: probably unity, it's the latest live version | 20:56 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: Are you using IceTea, or Sun java? | 20:56 |
| katsrc | is it unity? or is it unity 3D? | 20:56 |

| SockPants | i feel like it's a bit of a cheat | 20:57 |
| tranquilwaters_ | edugonch: maybe it's muted, or else some hidden channel in sound mixer settings is muted? | 20:57 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: Try IceTea | 20:58 |
| alienmindtrick | Galvatron: I ditched IceTea in 10.10 because the updates lagged behind the real world so badly. | 20:59 |
| Galvatron | SockPants: It's just the Unity being not as intuitive | 20:59 |

| sburwood1 | BluesKaj: And how do I list /etc/apt/sources.list? | 21:01 |
| HelloWorld123 | SockPants: the latest Ubuntu on Unetbootin is 10.04. I have the 11.04 ISO in my downloads folder. Can/should I set the ISO to 11.04 ? Should I use the HDMedia option? | 21:01 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: I would stil recommend trying IceTea. | 21:01 |
| SockPants | i just booted it... assuming stuff like that works | 21:01 |
| === ahs3_ is now known as ahs3 | ||
| alienmindtrick | Galvatron: Should I uninstall Sun Java first? | 21:01 |
| SockPants | HelloWorld123: the version i downloaded has 11.04 as well (scroll down?) but i had the iso already so i just used the 'iso' option at the bottom instead. | 21:02 |
| BluesKaj | sburwood1, alt+f2 type /etc/apt/sources.list , then copy and paste the text into pastebin | 21:02 |
| Randytravis | i use 10.04 i think thats the militairy version | 21:02 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: yes, so you will be sure it's not getting in the way (like removing Flash prior to trying Lightspark/Gnash) | 21:02 |
| HelloWorld123 | SockPants: I just installed it, and I also run the package updater for good measure. I swear it doesn't have 11.04, but it does have "Daily Live" | 21:02 |
| alienmindtrick | Galvatron: Will do! | 21:02 |
| HelloWorld123 | SockPants: there you go ... I'll just use the ISO that I have. | 21:03 |

| HelloWorld123 | SockPants: I df/l'ed my Unetbootin from the Synaptic Package Manager | 21:03 |
| tauren | sometimes when my 11.04 system sits idle, it goes to a blank screen but keyboard or mouse actions do not show the login box. | 21:03 |
| Galvatron | Being kicked out to the login screen might mean X-server restart | 21:03 |
| tauren | I can ctrl-alt-F1 and get a terminal to restart system | 21:04 |
| Galvatron | alienmindtrick: What is your video card? | 21:04 |
| SockPants | HelloWorld123: ah ok, i'm using it on windows and downloaded it from the website, maybe the one in the repo's is old. it might work anyway with the iso though | 21:04 |
| SockPants | dont see why not | 21:04 |
| sw0rdfish | hey guys how do I install python-software-properties in 11.04? | 21:04 |
| edugonch | tranquilwaters_, the headset is ok with the volume :P | 21:04 |
| Randytravis | tauren cause u have it on auto hibernate | 21:04 |
| HelloWorld123 | and then what do I do with it? boot it? | 21:04 |
| tauren | Randytravis: it doesn't always do this though | 21:04 |
| tranquilwaters_ | edugonch: ok, I just thought I'd ask, that was my problem when my speakers didn't work, alsa muted some hidden channel somewhere XD | 21:05 |
| tauren | sometimes it gives me a login box, other times it doesn't | 21:05 |
| Randytravis | i know my laptop does the same thing tauren | 21:05 |
| SockPants | HelloWorld123: if it's done creating the usb installer it should ask you to reboot and you can boot it | 21:05 |
| sburwood1 | brb | 21:05 |

| SockPants | don't know what you were planning to use it for | 21:05 |

| HelloWorld123 | it's asking! | 21:05 |
| HelloWorld123 | SockPants: I'll reboot it | 21:05 |
| tauren | Randytravis: so do you turn off auto-hibernate to solve it? | 21:05 |
| HelloWorld123 | tx | 21:05 |
| SockPants | np | 21:05 |
| sw0rdfish | yes trism, its unsatisfied with the dependency Python being 2.7.1 or whatever | 21:06 |
| edugonch | Well, I have all the alsa channels up | 21:06 |
| Randytravis | if i shut my laptop screen it will hybernate and i cant use any keys or mouse or options besides turn it off for 2 mins and restart it but if i dont shut the screen it will go to the blank screen saver | 21:06 |

| Monotoko | Noelle, if you don't want Windows to be able to access it, otherwise ext3 | 21:08 |
| tauren | Randytravis: ok, thanks | 21:08 |
| camille | but that shuts down just everything | 21:08 |
| SubKid | c | 21:08 |
| camille | and i have to use the command line to get back in and it is basically just a command line restart | 21:08 |
| camille | which is not what i want | 21:08 |
| Noelle | monotoko should it be primary or logical | 21:08 |
| Monotoko | Noelle, primary | 21:09 |
| camille | i feel like i have to hard restart the computer at least once a day | 21:09 |
| Monotoko | although I think Linux can run from Logical | 21:09 |
| Galvatron | Monotoko: First of all, it's still in development, so you better prepare a separate Ubuntu installation for experimenting with it. It also has a different configuration file format, so it it highly recommended to make a backup of all your configs in home folder. | 21:09 |
| camille | maybe since i have a netbook, i just need to be mindful not to run too many programs at once | 21:09 |

| sw0rdfish | I need to set that up I believe | 21:10 |
| Monotoko | Noelle, are you installing it alongside Windows? | 21:10 |

| Monotoko | Noelle, it'll give you an option to just take the entire drive...click that and it will do the rest | 21:10 |
| SockPants | camille: ah. well if i want to kill an individual application i just use terminal | 21:10 |

| tranquilwaters_ | Noelle I used a SMC usb wlan unit, and it worked out of the box :-) not sure which type exactly, but it claimed to support linux on their website | 21:25 |
| trism | sw0rdfish: not sure why the system indicates natty, that isn't a stock sources.list though, anyway, easiest fix is probably to revert to the lucid python: sudo apt-get install python=2.6.5-0ubuntu1; then python-software-properties should install | 21:25 |
| Noelle | misa_ yeah, that would be fine | 21:25 |
| trism | sw0rdfish: unless of course there are deeper problems | 21:25 |
| fortiss | anyone know of an iphone like swipe to unlock app for ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| misa_ | Noelle, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 21:26 |

| tranquilwaters_ | Noelle: smc.com | 21:26 |
| Noelle | misa_ tranquilwaters_ thanks | 21:26 |
| sw0rdfish | thanks trism, and hey installing it like that will remove the current version of python and install that one? | 21:26 |
| tranquilwaters_ | it's a white usb stick, but I am not sure if they have types that don't work. I just remember that mine had a linux support claim on the product website and that it worked right away | 21:27 |
| trism | sw0rdfish: yes | 21:27 |
| sw0rdfish | cool | 21:27 |
| sw0rdfish | thanks trism :) | 21:27 |
| trism | sw0rdfish: you're welcome | 21:27 |
| wols_ | trism: that python there is there for a reason. just downgrading won't work, since well, downgrading doesn't work and is not supported | 21:27 |
| blkdg | thanks anyhow | 21:28 |
| trism | wols_: he has lucid repos, the natty python is there, but it has no repo, that command just reverts to the version for the repos he has | 21:28 |
| wols_ | trism: and besides from this little python problem, mixing different versions is a quick way to disaster. by getting python, his libc6 is now natty too, etc | 21:29 |

| wols_ | !doesn't work | 21:37 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 21:37 |

| wols_ | sw0rdfish: the difference is, the 2nd way breaks your ubuntu real quick and makes ubuntu obsolete. if you want to do it like that fine, but then you don't want to run ubuntu but something like linux from scratch or such | 21:41 |

| wols_ | shingen: no. as the name implies: errors | 22:06 |
| lafon | knxville, what i meant is that (as an example only) say that the font that all title bars on your windows will be comicsans | 22:06 |
| distressed_dude | @lafon When trying to install (partition stage) it freezes. When I try to repartition it through live mode, I get "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_create_partition_table: device_file=/dev/sda, scheme=0 got it got disk committed to disk BLKRRPART ioctl failed for /dev/sda: Device or resource busy" | 22:07 |
| knxville | lafon, yeah.. im using monospace size 8 now.. its way better.. | 22:07 |
| fortiss | anyone know how to get an onscreen keyboard working for the lock screen? | 22:07 |
| shingen | velofille: my machine was already crawling like a snail when my low hdd space warning came up, didn't have a chance to check... deleted the file, but since it was an open file handle, the space wasn't released, so I had to shut down my open apps and reboot to reclaim the space.... | 22:08 |
| misa_ | distressed_dude, are you trying to use some special partition setup? | 22:08 |
| shingen | wols_: that's a great help there, thanks! | 22:08 |
| lafon | distressed_dude, almost sounds like the disk is mounted | 22:08 |
| wols_ | shingen: not exactly. and: you could have just closed X | 22:08 |
| velofille | shingen, restarting X will release the space probably, keep an eye on it and see whats filling it up from now on | 22:08 |
| distressed_dude | @misa_ no, just trying to erase the entire disk | 22:09 |
| shingen | wols_: if my hdd is full and I kill X and all the apps in it, I lose all my work... not the best way to help | 22:09 |
| misa_ | distressed_dude, are you installing from cd or usb? | 22:09 |
| velofille | shingen, yeah but X was keeping the log file open in the first place | 22:09 |
| distressed_dude | @misa_ dvd | 22:10 |
| RoMar | dose anyone know how to setup a main dual boot on a external hard drive? | 22:10 |
| lafon | distressed_dude, if you don't want anything from it mount it externally to another computer and reformat then install | 22:10 |
| velofille | shingen, the other option is apt-get clean to clean out all old packages, giving enough space to save your work and restart X | 22:10 |
| wols_ | shingen: next time run apt-get clean instead or delete *.gz in /var/log | 22:10 |
| shingen | velofille: right, but the machine was crawling already, I had critical work to save and trying to figure out what's wrong was not the best way to go | 22:10 |
| shingen | guys, this is a brand new install less than 1 day old | 22:10 |
| velofille | shingen, did you learn to autosave ? :) | 22:10 |
| shingen | I have no old packages... | 22:10 |
| velofille | in any case, tail -f the file | 22:11 |
| shingen | velofille: if my machine has no space, will it autosave? :P | 22:11 |
| velofille | find the error, post it into google :D | 22:11 |
| velofille | nah but it means you loose less when things break :) | 22:11 |
| misa_ | distressed_dude, you could also try a gparted live iso | 22:12 |
| velofille | shingen, so you're on it now? tailing log? | 22:12 |
| distressed_dude | @misa_ Tried that many a moon ago. Doesn't work. | 22:12 |
| tripelb | I'd like some basic help. i click on Places, Computer to get a Nautilus file browser window (actually I use the Computer icon I put on my panel, next to the Username icon, and the Desktop icon). then how do I "open in new tab" or "open in new window"? - I've tried r-click and I've tried all of the following combinations, shift|cntl|windowskey|alt-click. Isn't it possible? | 22:13 |
| shingen | velofille: yeah, but when it happens it happens fast, so there is no point in watching it.... | 22:13 |
| tripelb | And when something labeled 31 G filesystem opens it has this long number of a name. Can I rename the volume? | 22:14 |
| lafon | tripelb, ctrl+t opens new tab | 22:14 |
| biggerfisch | so... I have a problem. on my ubuntu server, cron jobs don't seem to run anymore. I didn't make any changes, as far as I know, but none of my backup jobs seem to run. Any ideas? | 22:14 |
| edbian | tripelb: You cannot open new tab from the place menu because you don't have a nautilus window open yet. Once it is open you can right click to open folders in a new tab. | 22:14 |
| shingen | velofille: I just have to keep Virtualbox and Remmina up and do some web browsing to replicate... I've seen this a couple of times before using other distros based off 11.04, so it's definitely an 11.04 issue, but saving my virtubalbox state is the most important thing before finding the problem, as worse comes to worse, I drop ubuntu and try another distro | 22:14 |
| xperia | hello to all i have a netopia 3342 usb modem. All Leds do blink when i connect it to the Ubuntu Box but i dont see any possibility how to use it to make a internet connection. Can anybody help me ? | 22:15 |
| velofille | shingen, the fact that its virtualbox may be an issue, it could be related to the 3d required of unity in a virtual enviroment or similr | 22:15 |
| xperia | good will be if i had it at least in the ifconfig list but i dont see it there | 22:15 |
| lafon | xperia, ubuntu finds the modem | 22:16 |
| tripelb | edbian, what kind of window did I open? It looks like a nautilus window. I'm not right tabbing from the menu but from the window that came when I clicked on (my)Computer. | 22:16 |
| shingen | velofille: could be remmina too... I saw this on my laptop while running pinguyos (11.04 based), which I don't run vbox on... | 22:16 |
| xperia | lafon yes if i do lsusb it show it | 22:16 |
| tripelb | edbian, it is nautilus. I looked at about | 22:16 |
| edbian | tripelb: If you click on anything in places it opens a nautilus windows | 22:16 |
| xperia | i just need now somehow to make a internet connection to this usb modem in ubuntu | 22:17 |
| tripelb | edbian, yes. I'm not near that basic. I want to open something in a new tab. this isnt the soert of thing that should be difficult. or to open it in a new window. I am looking at a set of drives. | 22:18 |

| tripelb | If I have more than one partition on this drive, will it show in "my computer? How do I see it? Must I use gparted? | 22:20 |
| coz_ | tripelb, it should not effect the speed of the system at all | 22:22 |
| coz_ | tripelb, if you are installing ubuntu you can direct it to one of the partitions for install | 22:22 |
| tripelb | coz_, nothing *I* said was about speed of the system. (I'm in a parallel world) -- no I'm not installing ubuntu. I just want to be aware of my drives. Actually I want to copy what's on my other drives to my "big drive" | 22:23 |
| coz_ | tripelb, ah I see ,, sorry , I misunderstood | 22:24 |
| tripelb | I cant tel what's happening because all the partitions look like a windows file system or an ubuntu file system and I cant tell them apart when I open them. I want to name them. Howto? | 22:24 |

| Dulak | neurre: because 64 bit is a little more complicated, and the recommendation is aimed at new users who might be confused, or not even have a 64 bit cpu. 32 bit is the safe choice since it will run on both 32 bit and 64 bit cpus | 23:14 |

| SummerB | Hello, Um, In windows 7 If I had 2 files, and they were both "foo" , when I copied them to the same folder, one became "foo" and the other "foo (1)", If I had another "foo", and added it, it became "foo (2)", Now , If I had 2 folders with "foo foo(1) foo (2)" and added them, they became foo (1) foo (2)... foo (5) , and so on. How do I get this sort of behaviour from nautilus | 23:21 |
| velofille | rump, i'll second what shingen says :) | 23:22 |
| rump | is it desktop oriented? | 23:22 |
| LinuxMario | =( | 23:22 |
| velofille | lots of our customers use it with no problems (rimuhosting.com) | 23:22 |
| rump | versus like rhel or centos | 23:22 |

| Jake123 | I was just reading up on the notes for the Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha, and it says that the classic desktop is gone. IS that going to be in the final release!? Or is that just not included in the alpha. | 23:23 |
| idi0t | possible bug: i have problems relating to mouse support with a rotated monitor/desktop - external mice work fine and map fine when the desktop is rotated, but my internal touchpad does not | 23:23 |

| SummerB | Jake123, I do not use Ubuntu. I came here for an issue with nautilus. This is the best place for awnsers to the sort of question I asked. | 23:26 |
| yhager | I've added a ppa, but when I do 'apt-get install <package>', I don't get the version I expect - the one in the ppa, rather the old one in the main repo. I ran apt-get update. | 23:26 |
| yhager | I am relating to https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/calibre | 23:27 |
| Jake123 | Dulak: I hope you're right. I'd keep using my KDE desktop, but for whatever reason it's having major issues opening icons. | 23:27 |
| SummerB | So, may I assume nobody knows an answer to my query? | 23:27 |
| trism | Jake123: there is still gnome-session-fallback, which is like ubuntu classic (panel on the top/bottom, gnome applets, etc) but also a bit different being gnome 3, further discussion should be in #ubuntu+1 though | 23:27 |
| Dulak | Jake123: I am moving off ubuntu over unity, it's horrid. I am waiting for the next LTS hoping they clear up the issues, but I am note hopeful. | 23:28 |

| SummerB | royale1223, Read the Manual | 23:32 |
| === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower | ||

| SummerB | royale1223, man irssi | 23:32 |
| ejo | I just get "sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found" | 23:33 |
| trism | ejo: add-apt-repository is part of the python-software-properties package | 23:33 |
| SummerB | ejo, It means there is no such command on your system. | 23:33 |
| ejo | no kidding? ok | 23:33 |
| velofille | ejo,try the correct command | 23:33 |
| velofille | ejo, apt-add-repository | 23:33 |
| royale1223 | doesnt mention in the manual. | 23:33 |
| ejo | cool beans -- I had no idea of that since I was following an "installing postgresql on ubuntu" tut | 23:33 |
| trism | velofille: they both exist in recent versions | 23:33 |
| ejo | dunno why they didn't mention that that command wasn't basic | 23:33 |
| io | royale1223: set your services password as the server password, or use SASL, or use WAIT <seconds>;, or use timer.pl | 23:33 |
| SummerB | royale1223, It dose. There is a delay timer for joining channels :P | 23:33 |
| ejo | thanks! | 23:33 |

| velofille | curious | 23:35 |
| ejo | no idea | 23:35 |
| io | royale1223: you have now compromised your password. -autosendcmd isn't suggested on a network that supports services passwords as server passwords, or supports SASL | 23:35 |

| ejo | well thx for the springboard and I'll investigate further. ty ty | 23:35 |
| WXZ | how do I un-clean, I forgot | 23:35 |
| WXZ | there's a way to unconfigure things | 23:35 |
| Dulak | EvilPhoenix: unetbootin should be able to do that, just about any linux iso will work in my experience | 23:35 |
| io | royale1223: /server add -network freenode irc.freenode.net 6667 <services password> and then remove your current server | 23:36 |
| EvilPhoenix | Dulak, thanks | 23:36 |
| ejo | trism: nope, only us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ | 23:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | EvilPhoenix, if you are using the Debian 6 ISO CD1 or DVD1 they are hybrid - you can use either dd or cat to create USB. Personally I'd still recommend unetbootin however. | 23:36 |
| SummerB | I suggest using port 7000 or 7070 | 23:36 |
| SummerB | the SSL ports. | 23:36 |
| io | royale1223: I also suggest changing your services password now, see '/msg nickserv help set password' | 23:36 |
| velofille | ejo, i suppose linode may have custom images for VPS anyway (i know we do at rimuhosting.com) | 23:36 |

| rump | no /etc/hostname in ubuntu? where do i change it? | 23:36 |

| io | !hostname | rump | 23:37 |
| ubottu | rump: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 23:37 |
| ejo | velofille: yeah seems so. So yeah, python-software-properties got me hooked up. thanks again | 23:37 |

| royale1223 | thats not my passwd | 23:38 |
| velofille | all good | 23:38 |
| royale1223 | :p | 23:38 |
| io | royale1223: use the server password method, or SASL if you can be bothered to set it up | 23:38 |
| io | royale1223: SASL requires a stack of perl modules and other things, more information on the freenode blog | 23:39 |
