| OerHeks | !gnome3 | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 00:10 |
| OerHeks | not really biami, wait for 11.10 | 00:10 |

| Zeelot | hey guys, if I wrote a little CLI script, how do I go about adding autocomplete for it? | 00:15 |
| OerHeks | the alpha1 that is * | 00:16 |
| Taroven | dr_willis: Problem in the install process. Using the alternate install iso, it's failing at the detect/mount step. Tried 'mkdir -p /dev/loop && ln /dev/loop0 /dev/loop/0' in terminal 2 on an offchance that it'd do something, no joy. Any ideas? | 00:16 |
| qin | Zeelot: You mean putting it in path, or "in script" autocomplete. | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Zeelot, "autocomplete for it" what do you mean? If you create a ~/bin and logout/login it will be in your PATH if that's what you mean. | 00:16 |
| Zeelot | qin: No, I mean autocomplete for the arguments | 00:16 |
| Taroven | dr_willis: Think using the standard install iso would work better? | 00:16 |
| Zeelot | sorry | 00:16 |
| Rrune | hi, is anyone using a fusionio iodrive (or iodrive duo) with ubuntu? Im wondering if it shows up in lspci and if the debs provided by iofusion works well | 00:16 |
| Rrune | as it seems that atleast with dell hardware they officially only support suse and rhel | 00:17 |
| Zeelot | something like ./my-script foo bar biz (I would like autocomplete for the 3 arguments) | 00:17 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Zeelot, there is no way to autocomplete arguments - do you expect it to read people's minds? Arguments are ways to add options?!?! | 00:17 |
| Zeelot | then how does git checko[tab] autocomplete? | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | Taroven, could be a bad iso file. I tend to use the pendrivelinux tools that put grub2 and the iso file on a flash drive. that way i can have several isos on the same pendrive | 00:18 |
| quidnunc | I get the following error when trying to install postgres "/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main is not accessible or does not exist" | 00:18 |
| biami | <Zeelot>: you need default arguments... if there is no supplied argument, go with the default ones... | 00:18 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Zeelot, actually the same for apt-get as well.... so my bad. | 00:18 |
| quidnunc | what gives? | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | !autocomplete | 00:18 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:18 |
| OerHeks | Rhune Binaries and source code are available from Fusion-io support site | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | the bash auto completion feature is amazingly handy and flexiable. | 00:19 |
| dr_willis | bbl ya all. | 00:19 |
| Rrune | Zeelot, check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784605/how-to-define-your-own-terminal-tab-completions seems to adress what you are looking for :) | 00:19 |
| Zeelot | biami: I don't know what you mean by that | 00:19 |
| Zeelot | Rrune: perfect, thanks! | 00:19 |
| Taroven | dr_willis: Could be. Should've run a hashcheck to be sure. I'll give the normal ISO a shot real quick before getting too far into this. | 00:19 |

| Rrune | OerHeks, hi, thanks, Im using those debs and everything looks just fine, except I dont see an iodrive in any of the servers at all :) thats why I wonder if theres an alternative way to check for them, like lspci or perhaps messages during post. Yousee the servers are located on a remote datacenter :s | 00:20 |
| Rrune | also, its the first time I deal with iodrives so, yea :) | 00:21 |
| Rrune | frankly I think dell simply forgot to install them before shipping :| | 00:22 |
| OerHeks | Rrune my knowledge does not go that far, sorry. | 00:22 |
| biami | Zeelot: programName a b c... argv[1]=a, right??? Then if argv[1] is there, then do something like firstArg=argv[1] else firstArg=default | 00:22 |
| Rrune | thanks anyway :) | 00:22 |

| Taroven | Starminn: I believe you'd be looking for a fix or replacement for libnotify1 and/or notify-osd. | 00:35 |

| sarthor | Hi. any one know about linux driver for finger print thumb LighTuning | 00:43 |
| biami | Sovek, what do u want to do? | 00:45 |
| biami | oh well... | 00:45 |
| kyi | to late | 00:45 |
| Taroven | Starminn: Notify-osd remains running after you remove it, at least in my experience. That may be the entire problem at the moment | 00:45 |
| kyi | lol | 00:45 |
| Starminn | Taroven: Ah! That would explain why a reinstall didn't fix it. Would a simple "killall notify-osd" solve this? | 00:46 |
| Taroven | Starminn: Could give 'killall notify-osd && notify-osd &' a shot | 00:46 |
| Taroven | Otherwise, I'd just reboot. | 00:46 |
| Starminn | Taroven: I've rebooted a few times since it's been doing this (although I haven't reinstalled & rebooted) | 00:47 |
| Taroven | Give the quick way a shot first then. =P | 00:47 |
| Starminn | Taroven: "notofy-osd: command not found" | 00:48 |
| Starminn | notify* (That was my error re-typing it) | 00:48 |
| Taroven | Figures. Sec, googling for some old articles | 00:48 |
| biami | notify | 00:48 |
| Starminn | biami: :) | 00:48 |
| Taroven | Starminn: Random curiosity, can you give AWN's notification daemon a shot real quick to see if it works properly? | 00:50 |
| Baion | hello | 00:51 |
| idr0p | Howdy | 00:51 |
| Starminn | Taroven: It works perfectly. | 00:51 |
| biami | Starminn, if its in gnome panel, then try removing the notification applet from the panel and add it again... i don't think that would work, but atleast try once... | 00:51 |
| Starminn | Taroven: notify-osd stopped working around the time I started using AWN's (but I tried it before months ago and this didn't happen) | 00:52 |
| Starminn | biami: Tried already. :( | 00:52 |
| Taroven | Starminn: Ah, I see. | 00:52 |
| Taroven | Starminn: Not entirely sure if this'll break anything, but you could try reconfiguring notify-osd, notification-daemon, and/or notify-daemon depending on what all's installed. Not quite up to date on the programs involved, but at least one of those is involved. | 00:54 |
| Taroven | Starminn: dpkg-reconfigure <insert program here> is the way to go there. | 00:54 |
| Starminn | Taroven: What does that do? Restore all settings to "stock"? | 00:55 |
| Taroven | Pretty much, yeah. | 00:55 |
| ninjah | There seems to be a problem with my firewall and ftp. I have my own ftp server. If I kill the firewall it works. If I leave 20 and 21 open it doesn't. Any ideas? | 00:56 |

| ZykoticK9_ | ninjah, FTP is a firewall nightmare - there are other dynamically assigned ports involved with FTP servers... good luck. | 00:57 |
| Starminn | Taroven: No luck (but no breakage either!), however notification-daemon and notify-daemon do not seem to be installed if that means anything to you. | 00:57 |
| ninjah | ZykoticK9_: Thanks | 00:57 |
| ZykoticK9_ | ninjah, usually you can set the port range for the other ports used | 00:57 |
| Taroven | Starminn: apt-cache policy notification-daemon | 00:58 |
| Taroven | Do the same for notify-daemon, notify-osd, and libnotify1 | 00:58 |

I'm trying to do the same time on Ubuntu, but it's giving me the error mentioned above. | 01:21 |
| link_ | I am using irssi what are you using? | 01:21 |
| bazhang | Rexter, what is the error | 01:21 |
| bazhang | link_, why is that important | 01:21 |
| link_ | It is my first time using it | 01:22 |
| bazhang | !quietirssi | link_ you might like this then | 01:22 |
| ubottu | link_ you might like this then: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS | 01:22 |

| bazhang | Rexter, care to provide a synopsis? was this from additional drivers? did you get it over a wired connection to install? | 01:23 |
| link_ | thanks ubottu but I wasn't planning on staying to long! | 01:23 |
| Rexter | lol common people bazhang is getting clobbered here. | 01:24 |
| bazhang | link_, there is also #irssi | 01:24 |

| hjaxon_rsb | nfs just gave me a headache! | 01:26 |
| Rexter | bazhang, yes it's from the additional drivers lol, I said that like 6 times... you're helping too many people. fun times! :) I am plugged in via ethernet, that's how I'm on the chat right now. | 01:26 |
| bazhang | hjaxon_rsb, then say what you really want | 01:26 |

| abahkaiyisah | is ubuntu support for clustering ? | 01:28 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1278144 sarthor check that link, seems the company behind that technology did not have a linux driver as of July of last year | 01:29 |
| r3m | chaddy: thanks | 01:29 |
| celeryman | bazhang, i know your busy, just letting you know im still here when you get some time thanks in advance | 01:29 |
| chaddy | r3m: no worries, just don't come back asking me how ;) | 01:29 |
| bazhang | abahkaiyisah, what is the real question, what are you trying to do | 01:29 |
| Heston | does ubuntu server come with a mail client? | 01:30 |
| MrPPS | Heston: muts | 01:30 |
| Rexter | Gomazz, no never heard of it, what are you trying to do? | 01:31 |
| abahkaiyisah | bazhang: i have 2 pc and i want to make it a cluster server using ubuntu | 01:31 |
| chaddy | Heston: the installer will ask you if you want to install various mail options | 01:31 |
| bazhang | abahkaiyisah, two pc's is hardly a cluster. what is the purpose of said "cluster" | 01:31 |
| MrPPS | bazhang: probably experimentation | 01:31 |
| Heston | chaddy, ah ok, im using a precompiled image | 01:31 |
| chaddy | Heston: try typing "mail" at the cli | 01:32 |
| Heston | chaddy, i tried that first, it's not installed | 01:32 |
| r3m | chaddy: no update since 2009 | 01:33 |
| chaddy | must be quite a minimal image, then | 01:33 |
| Heston | it would seem so | 01:33 |
| Psydoll | how long should i be using ubuntu before i should install it? when will i know if im ready to install it? | 01:33 |
| bazhang | Psydoll, pardon? | 01:33 |
| abahkaiyisah | bazhang: sorry for unclear definition. i want to make a clustered server. but i still confuse where to start | 01:33 |
| bazhang | abahkaiyisah, to do what | 01:34 |
| Psydoll | bazhang: Im running ubuntu on a live version, i want to know after how long i should install it and use it that way? | 01:34 |
| Rexter | So I just installed Natty, I did the 32 bit version on a Dell Studio 15 with 4GB Ram, does Natty default to the PAE kernel driver, of do i need to apt-get something? | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Psydoll, up to you. thats not really a tech support question. | 01:34 |
| chaddy | Psydoll: how long is a piece of string? whenever you're ready | 01:34 |
| bazhang | linux-generic-pae will pull in what you need Rexter | 01:34 |
| Psydoll | bazhang: chaddy : I know its an open ended question but there should be some things i should be able to do before doing that? | 01:34 |
| abahkaiyisah | bazhang: java application server, database server, mailserver etc. | 01:35 |
| bazhang | Psydoll, its a chat topic, not a question. ----> #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:35 |
| chaddy | Psydoll: if you can point and click you're good to go, assuming your hardware is supported in the live version | 01:35 |
| Psydoll | join #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:36 |
| Psydoll | oops | 01:36 |
| Psydoll | chaddy: yeah i can use the command line a little bit | 01:36 |
| Rexter | Psydoll. I just use the live version to make sure a distro won't totally fail. The performance hit on the live version makes it not very usable for general purpose use. | 01:36 |
| bazhang | abahkaiyisah, you can do that with a single machine | 01:36 |
| Rexter | bazhang, is that the name of the package I should install? | 01:37 |
| Psydoll | Rexter: the only thing im worried about is having to partition hard drives, i used to use suse 8.3 back in the day in 2003 and it was a painful experience | 01:37 |
| bazhang | Rexter, yep | 01:37 |
| chaddy | r3m: it's pretty mature, descended from milkdrop (the visualizer in winamp) | 01:37 |
| abahkaiyisah | bazhang: i prepare it for "scale able " | 01:38 |
| Rexter | psydoll, things are better now-a-days, ubuntu will handle the partitioning for you, unless you have specific needs. | 01:38 |
| Psydoll | I meant to ask is there a way of customizing the way in which the terminal displays the text, ie font, color etc? | 01:38 |
| issac | with >1400 people, I'm surprised this place isn't a scrolling nightmare | 01:38 |
| Psydoll | Rexter: yeah thats what i heard, suse tried to do that aswell but its gui method swallowed something like 99% of the space and left a tiny ammount for windows. | 01:38 |
| skumara | i was syncing my ipod with banshee. it took too long. so I pull the wire out from usb. and than ubuntu freezes. So i restarted the laptop by power off and on. now ubuntu doesn't automount my ipod. how to fix this? | 01:39 |
| chaddy | Psydoll: you can set colours and prompts in .bashrc | 01:39 |
| bazhang | skumara, you just yanked it out without cleanly unmounting it? | 01:39 |
| chaddy | Psydoll: I usually just set my font size through grub's vga option | 01:40 |

| === Guilherme_Milhou is now known as Zerloch | ||
| demonspork | Yukinoroh, which processor do you have? | 01:41 |
| Yukinoroh | demonspork: intel i5 | 01:41 |
| bazhang | Yukinoroh, 64bit if you wish | 01:41 |
| demonspork | Yukinoroh, the 32bit edition is capable of seeing the 4GB (a technology called PAE) but you should use the AMD64 build as that is the way of the future and handles it better | 01:42 |
| Yukinoroh | bazhang: but isn't the 64bit version for AMD cpus only? | 01:42 |
| bazhang | Yukinoroh, no | 01:42 |
| demonspork | Yukinoroh, the AMD64 build is not for AMD only | 01:42 |
| Psydoll | chaddy: sorry im not entirely sure what .bashrc is it the linux version of a .ini? | 01:42 |
| Kardos | .bashrc is what your bash shell runs when it starts | 01:42 |
| Kardos | usually contains aliases and environment variables | 01:42 |
| demonspork | Psychobudgie, .bashrc is a script the executes when you start a bash shell. So a .bashrc in the root of your home folder will run whenever you open up a terminal with bash | 01:42 |
| Yukinoroh | but why did they call it AMD64 then? (Ā°eĀ°) | 01:43 |
| chaddy | Psydoll: you'll find it hidden in your home directory | 01:43 |
| demonspork | Yukinoroh, because it complies with the AMD64 standard, which is also compatible with intel | 01:43 |
| bazhang | Yukinoroh, it works on intel. | 01:43 |
| Rexter | Psydoll, you will get a lot of different opinions here, but the fact is you shouldn't sweat it. If it was me, I would manually create two partitions, one SWAP partition 1.5 times your system RAM size, and one other partition mounted at / for the rest of the available drive, working around, or resizing the Windows partition. | 01:43 |
| demonspork | Yukinoroh, the Intel 64 bit architecture is technically ia64, but amd64 builds will work on both | 01:43 |

| chaddy | rinkukokiri: no | 01:48 |
| biami | Zerloch, if the songs are in the ipod, then the partition is alright... | 01:48 |
| Yukinoroh | is there a way to install ubuntu from a small installer and it'll only download what I need? | 01:48 |
| rinkukokiri | chaddy, then how do i enable/disable them ?? | 01:48 |
| chaddy | rinkukokiri: check synaptic for compiz packages | 01:48 |
| Zerloch | skumura, you can google it, it comes with PhotoRec (to recover files). Go to google and read the manuals on the official website, it may help. | 01:48 |
| skumara | zerlock testdisk only show my hard disk. it did not show ipod | 01:48 |
| biami | try itunes on windows to check if it appears there | 01:48 |
| chaddy | rinkukokiri: there are two, one's simple, one's more advanced, the titles witll tell you which is which | 01:48 |
| rinkukokiri | chaddy, already have ccsm installed, just thought that tab should still be there | 01:49 |

| rinkukokiri | Corey, you're right, uninstalling compiz and unity does nothing to correct my original issue. | 01:59 |

| rinkukokiri | Rexter, Confirmed but that's not a bug, simple-ccsm doesn't work with compiz-0.9 it would need to be updated for the new compiz | 02:00 |

| Rexter | rinkukokiri, yea, you'll have to learn about the full CCSM, but I've heard that it's really easy to break Unity if you mess with CCSM. Be careful, CCSM is not designed to deal with conflicts from Unity. | 02:03 |
| chaddy | Rexter: could you possibly try to install just the wireless driver and post the errors from just that? looks like you were installing everything at once in that last one | 02:03 |

| rinkukokiri | westz, http://pastebin.com/PyCAKdF1 | 02:20 |
| perko | chaddy: where do i get those from? | 02:20 |
| chaddy | ia32-libs* | 02:20 |
| phrostbite | Is there an application like a remote desktop viewer for monitoring a windows 7 machine with an ubuntu laptop? | 02:20 |
| chaddy | aptitude or synaptic, perko | 02:20 |
| newbbb | dragg n drop didnt work | 02:20 |
| perko | cheers | 02:20 |
| green91 | phrostbite i prefer vnc | 02:20 |
| phrostbite | vnc? | 02:21 |
| Rexter | notnotpeter, I had to do it after killing the boot trac by installing windows after linux. I remember it being pretty easy, and simplistic. maybe this? http://opensource-sidh.blogspot.com/2011/06/recover-grub-live-ubuntu-cd.html | 02:21 |
| chaddy | phrostbite: there are a few, I favour nomachine's nxclient and nxserver | 02:21 |
| chaddy | but they are propretary, I think | 02:21 |
| phrostbite | oh | 02:21 |
| chaddy | proprietary* | 02:21 |
| green91 | ive not looked, but i bet theres a rdp client for linux as well | 02:21 |

| biami | newbbb, what exactly are you trying to do? | 02:22 |
| linusA | does a webrowser work? | 02:22 |
| chrome_ | linusA: my network is fine, what do you mean | 02:22 |
| chrome_ | I have full access to the Internet | 02:22 |

| johwil | how to change the log-in screen? | 02:24 |
| chaddy | johwil: cli or X? | 02:25 |
| green91 | phrostbite: look at tsclient, it connects to RDP which wouldn't require you to install any software on the windows pc, just enable remote connections | 02:25 |
| tagza | Hi, can someone please help me get optimal resolution my GFX card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670 running ubuntu 10.04 (upgrading as i write) currently the resolution is 1600x1200 @60hz when it should be at 1680x1050 @59hz (dont know if the extra 1hz makes a difference) i have installed the prosperity drivers from ATI however this only gives me the option to use 1600x1200 reolution and below. | 02:25 |

| johwil | ok thank you linusA | 02:26 |
| linusA | @chrome system/about ubuntu | 02:26 |
| chaddy | Rexter: just copy and paste the command into a terminal, ignore colons, they are punctuation | 02:26 |
| Firefishe | chrome_: lab_release -a | 02:26 |
| phrostbite | ok green91 I will look into it thank you | 02:26 |
| Firefishe | lab_release -a rather | 02:27 |
| phrostbite | green91, that would be easiest because its my grandmas computer and she has no idea what she is doing and I am 2k miles away lol. | 02:27 |

| fikri | hi ppl | 02:27 |
| fikri | may i ask about vbox? | 02:27 |
| chaddy | don't ask to ask | 02:27 |
| chaddy | just ask | 02:28 |
| fikri | haha | 02:28 |
| green91 | phorstbite: since its RDP she will have to have remote desktop connections enabled and also the user acct on the windows box will have to have a PW since rdp doesnt allow blank passwords | 02:28 |
| Firefishe | chrome_: lsb_release -a | 02:28 |
| Firefishe | Finally! | 02:28 |
| tagza | can anyone help please ? | 02:28 |
| fikri | everytime i start vbox, it asks for modprobe vboxnetflt.ko.. | 02:28 |
| green91 | and also, it wont let you watch her screen realtime.. but it will let you log in remotely and administer the pc | 02:28 |
| Rexter | chaddy, | 02:28 |
| fikri | i did insmod ...vboxnetflt.ko | 02:28 |
| Rexter | mike@Ubuntu-Studio-1537:~$ sudo aptitude reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:28 |

| fikri | and vbox can run.. | 02:28 |
| biami | newbbb, that's a complex process... you need to package your app for ubuntu into a deb file and install it... or you can add a launcher (but i don't know how to do that)... | 02:28 |
| fikri | but when i reboot... it asks again.. | 02:28 |
| chaddy | ok, Rexter, sorry s/aptitude/apt-get | 02:29 |
| newbbb | its the launcher im trying to add :) | 02:29 |
| Rexter | chaddy, sorry, I'm too much of a noob to understand how to apply half-commands. | 02:29 |
| [Raiden] | Rexter: sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:29 |
| linusA | @biami deb packages are just compressed archives with a specific directory structure and file list | 02:30 |
| Rexter | ah..... | 02:30 |
| Firefishe | tagza: what is your issue? | 02:30 |
| green91 | deb packages also easily identify/notify you of other package dependencies | 02:30 |
| biami | linusA, and configurations too... | 02:30 |
| westz | i cant find ANY documentation on this | 02:31 |
| chaddy | Rexter: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:31 |
| westz | and why is the #wine channel invite only? | 02:31 |
| chaddy | westz: try #winehq | 02:32 |

| tagza | @Firefishe my gfx card is suposed to be showing resolution at 1680x1050@59hz but instead its showing 1600x1200@60hz ive installed the drivers but there isnt an option for 1680x1050 resolution | 02:32 |
| teage | Ok, I can not uninstall a program. program is called briscad and im using lucid. tried apt-get remove and software center. nothing. | 02:32 |
| green91 | does your monitor even support 1680x1050? | 02:32 |
| westz | xangua, thanks, im already registered | 02:33 |
| tagza | yes, it has done with other versions of ubuntu but for some reason this time it doesnt | 02:33 |
| tagza | iam duel booting it with w7 | 02:33 |
| chaddy | I know who'll win that duel | 02:33 |
| Firefishe | teague: try using syntactic | 02:33 |
| bazhang | teage, how was it installed. there does not seem to be a package called briscad in the repos | 02:34 |
| Firefishe | synaptic rather | 02:34 |
| jar | Does anyone here have experience.. with Ruby installation on 10.04 i might have a newbie question about.. path to rail (default :-( ) | 02:34 |
| biami | teage, find it on Synaptic Package Manager, right click, select 'Mark for Complete Removal' and hit apply. | 02:34 |
| ravyn | Is it possible, running two monitors of different sizes, to duplicate Unity's bar on both monitors? | 02:34 |
| Shaba1 | Hello folks. Are the any wubi specific forums,chat rooms, or other things on the net. Other then the default ubuntu web page that shows you how to install it ? | 02:34 |
| bazhang | jar, better to check their documents and ask in a ruby channel | 02:34 |
| green91 | tagza: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 02:34 |
| bazhang | !alis | jar | 02:34 |
| ubottu | jar: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 02:34 |
| biami | jar: not your night... try on Ruby's channel | 02:34 |
| phrostbite | hey green91 does that terminal server require you to be on the same network? | 02:35 |
| teage | bazhang: its a commercial cad software a lot like autocad. Installed the trial of it from the website. | 02:35 |
| tagza | @green91 thanks very much | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Shaba1: you can ask in here or you might try ask.ubuntu.com | 02:35 |
| jar | i tried.. but very rude people i googled for last 45 minutes. unfortently | 02:35 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, there is a wubi guide sure | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Shaba1: sorry that is askubuntu.com | 02:35 |
| bazhang | teage, then check the installer script, should be an uninstaller as well. unless it was a .deb, was it? | 02:35 |
| Datura | .. | 02:35 |
| teage | bazhang: yes | 02:36 |
| Nobgul-BNC | How would i go about, updating only tcl, | 02:36 |
| Rexter | chaddy, saw an error in there, but might be nothing. going down for reboot. BRB http://pastebin.com/ZbeuypfP | 02:36 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, did you have a specific wubi question? | 02:36 |
| chaddy | Rexter: what was the error? | 02:36 |
| chaddy | pastebin | 02:36 |
| teage | bazhang: cant find it in synaptic either. | 02:36 |
| chaddy | oh dear | 02:36 |
| green91 | phrostbite: as long as she doesnt have a firewall blocking it, should work. may require port forwarding her on part if she has a router | 02:37 |
| bazhang | teage, then use dpkg to unistall the .deb | 02:37 |
| nophone | sweet i got my screen installed :) running irssi in the background :) | 02:37 |
| phrostbite | green91, ok thank you. So just enable it on her machine and then get the ip and good to go? | 02:37 |
| green91 | yea ideally | 02:37 |
| teage | bazhang: How would I use dpkg. I have not ever used it before. Just sofware center and apt-get is all I have ever done. | 02:37 |
| Shaba1 | IdleOne and bazhang everytime I ask in here someone just tells me to partition my hd and install a "true ubuntu" distro. | 02:38 |
| bazhang | Nobgul-BNC, sudo apt-get upgrade tcl ? you mean that? or did you want to compile a version/add a PPA | 02:38 |
| Shaba1 | So I just have stopped asking | 02:38 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, care to ask again, or not | 02:38 |
| IdleOne | Shaba1: because wubi is considered by many to be a "testing" install. | 02:38 |
| chaddy | Shaba1: please ask again | 02:38 |
| Nobgul-BNC | bazhang, when i try to update tcl it says that it is already up to date. there is tcl 8.4 on my system and 8.5 in the repos, it says it has to be manually installed. | 02:38 |
| biami | teage, doesn't my method work??? | 02:38 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, please ask a specific question | 02:38 |
| bazhang | biami, it would not, no | 02:39 |
| teage | biami: which method was that? | 02:39 |
| Shaba1 | Well I do not have a specific question right now. I am on the windows side of my machine. I was on wubi/ubuntu 11.04 but it crashed. | 02:39 |
| teage | biami: synaptic? | 02:39 |
| Rexter | chaddy, you still here? | 02:39 |
| chaddy | Rexter: yes | 02:40 |
| chaddy | just | 02:40 |
| chaddy | any joy? | 02:40 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, so you want to know about the crash? thats a rather broad subject, I am afraid | 02:40 |
| westz | winehq is a dead channel... | 02:40 |
| biami | teage, ya... right click, mark, remove | 02:40 |
| bazhang | westz, so be patient | 02:40 |
| Rexter | chaddy, I'm back, holy crap, i can't believe how fast this thing reboots. | 02:40 |
| Rexter | chaddy, ok did you take a look at that pastbin? | 02:40 |
| westz | i dont have any time, i've got an annoying old woman on my back trying to play solitaire v.v;;; | 02:41 |
| nophone | how do i change my default nick in irssi? | 02:41 |
| green91 | phrostbite: if rdp ends up not working, you may want to take a look at teamviewer.com.. although i'll admit ive never used their linux client before | 02:41 |
| chaddy | yes, looked ok, no serious errors | 02:41 |
| teage | biami: does not matter at this point I guess, it really is a nice software. I will worry about uninstall , maybe, when trial runs out. | 02:41 |
| teage | biami: it is not there | 02:41 |
| bazhang | westz, check the appdb or use other software | 02:41 |
| chaddy | nophone: /msg nickserv help | 02:41 |
| bazhang | !appdb | westz | 02:41 |
| ubottu | westz: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 02:41 |
| phrostbite | Thank you green91 | 02:41 |
| teage | thanks guys | 02:41 |
| bazhang | westz, repeatedly asking for something no one knows won't get it answered any faster | 02:41 |
| green91 | phrostbite: not a prob! it does look like teamviewer has .deb pkg for 32 & 64bit too | 02:41 |
| xangua | westz: lots of solitarie games already on ubuntu | 02:41 |
| Pici | nophone: /set nick, also #irssi | 02:42 |
| nophone | chaddy: that's not what i meant. i meant in the settings of irssi | 02:42 |
| Shaba1 | bazhang or IdleOne could either of you put in that url with the http:// in it so I can just click to open it and bookmark it. I got caught in the scroll | 02:42 |
| chaddy | nophone: sorry, tired, should really just go to bed ;) | 02:42 |
| nophone | when i launch irssi i want it to try to log in with a diferent nickname than it tries to | 02:42 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide Shaba1 | 02:43 |
| nophone | chaddy: me to man | 02:43 |
| westz | xangua, she wont settle, she's addicted to the windoze version's score sheet | 02:43 |
| bazhang | westz, then check the appdb as I suggested | 02:43 |
| nophone | Pici: so if i /set nick and quit irssi and launch it again it will start off as nophone instead of durandal? | 02:43 |
| westz | bazhang, i did, only mentions the win98 version | 02:43 |
| bazhang | westz, it may well not run then | 02:44 |
| chris_peng | Heloo | 02:44 |
| chris_peng | hello | 02:44 |
| nophone | many thank-you's sir | 02:44 |
| chaddy | or noone's been daft enough to try | 02:44 |
| bazhang | chris_peng, hi | 02:44 |
| Shaba1 | I have read that bazhang thanks | 02:44 |
| westz | oi, they can run WoW with full 3d but they cant run solitaire *facepalm* | 02:44 |
| Shaba1 | it must have been IdleOne that mentioned a site | 02:44 |
| IdleOne | www.askubuntu.com | 02:44 |
| Datura | ser | 02:45 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, if you have a specific wubi question I can help, but "crashed" is not clear enough | 02:45 |
| Pici | nophone: be sure to /save after doing so | 02:45 |
| biami | westz, try AisleRiot Solitaire | 02:45 |
| westz | is there a reliable way to search by error? googling it gives me nada | 02:45 |
| westz | biami, i tried, she doesnt like it. she wants the thing that generates a specific game from a seed | 02:46 |
| Rexter | chaddy, are you there? | 02:46 |
| bazhang | westz, if it is not in the appdb it may well not run. be patient in #winehq or try another solitaire game | 02:46 |
| biami | :) | 02:46 |
| chaddy | Rexter: yes | 02:46 |
| Shaba1 | I know bazhang. I have answer enough blender question here on freenode to know that when you ask something you need to be specifice. | 02:46 |
| Rexter | chaddy, did any om me messages about it working come through? | 02:46 |
| chaddy | not that I noticed, all good, then? | 02:47 |
| Shaba1 | But this was yesterday. I think I was reading a forum and downloading spe and all of a sudden I got a black screen of scrolling death :) | 02:47 |
| Shaba1 | I had to hit the power switch to get out of it. | 02:47 |
| Rexter | chaddy, yea let me start over.... It works! it works! I'm on wireless now, thank you! | 02:47 |
| westz | but hey, if anyone knows of a version of freecell that has a game generator based on a seed, and will save/load where you left off, i'd LOVE to know | 02:48 |
| chaddy | no worries, just so you know, all I did was google the part number "bc23423 (or whatever) ubuntu" top link fixed it | 02:48 |
| Rexter | chaddy, so please explain to me what we did. | 02:49 |
| chaddy | you installed the driver by the command line because the gui tool failed | 02:49 |
| Rexter | chaddy, but we use that --reinstall what is that? | 02:50 |
| chaddy | the gui tool was probably just trying to be too clever | 02:50 |
| chaddy | --reinstall was redundant, your error showed it hadn't been installed in the first instance | 02:50 |
| Shaba1 | Oh I do have one specific question | 02:51 |
| Nobgul-BNC | Is there anyway to force install a program via apt-get install? | 02:51 |
| Shaba1 | I have a creative live web cam. | 02:51 |
| Rexter | chaddy, I tried apt-get install whatever-kernel-source, it said it was already installed. | 02:51 |
| Guest67030 | which program acts like "less" but does leave the output available in the Terminal after eof? | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Nobgul-BNC, why would you need to | 02:52 |
| Shaba1 | I looked on thier site but did not see any linux drivers | 02:52 |
| biami | Nobgul-BNC, huh? | 02:52 |
| Shaba1 | is there a way to get it working under linux? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | Shaba1, did you check the ubuntu webcam list? | 02:52 |
| Nobgul-BNC | having the issue where i removed tcl8.4 but tcl 8.5 will not install says i have to do it manually | 02:52 |
| Shaba1 | No I did not. I did not know that there was such a thing. | 02:52 |
| chaddy | Rexter: sorry misread the error, it may have installed but it hadn't built or modprobed the module | 02:52 |
| biami | what do you mean 'force' install? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | !webcam | Shaba1 this may help | 02:52 |
| ubottu | Shaba1 this may help: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 02:52 |
| chaddy | so it wasn't in use | 02:52 |
| biami | Nobgul-BNC, what do you mean 'force' install? | 02:53 |

| relouordi | sorry | 02:57 |
| InfiniteSet | Hello, I downloaded package(s) from the synaptic package manager, and I installed it (I think), how do I run it, I can't find it in my applications? | 02:57 |
| bazhang | sounds like a server issue | 02:57 |
| bazhang | InfiniteSet, what package | 02:57 |
| InfiniteSet | qorganizer I think | 02:57 |
| relouordi | This (feature) is connected on server | 02:57 |
| westz | InfiniteSet, go to stnaptic and look at it in the installed packages list | 02:57 |
| bazhang | InfiniteSet, what does alt-f2 appname do | 02:58 |
| InfiniteSet | How would I do that? | 02:58 |
| bsmith093 | i recently downgraded for firefox 4 to the default ubuntufox version, and now all of my adddons wont install, annoying restart loop that does nothing | 02:58 |
| westz | InfiniteSet, sorry not synaptic, i meant the Ubuntu Software Center | 02:58 |
| bazhang | bsmith093, thats a firefox issue | 02:59 |
| InfiniteSet | oh okay | 02:59 |
| westz | look at the installed packages and see if it's in there | 02:59 |
| bsmith093 | bazhang: ok so? i figure its popular enought that somwone has a clue | 02:59 |
| westz | InfiniteSet, if it isnt, it might need to be run from terminal. out of curiosity, what package? | 02:59 |
| InfiniteSet | I looked at the installed software and it is not there | 02:59 |
| bazhang | bsmith093, why downgrade? try the firefox support forums | 02:59 |
| InfiniteSet | qorganizer | 03:00 |
| bazhang | InfiniteSet, try from the run --> alt f2 | 03:00 |
| Rexter | chaddy, thanks hopefully this will be helpful to others. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26010174-Ubuntu-11.04-proprietary-wireless-driver | 03:00 |
| InfiniteSet | What does that do? | 03:00 |
| phrostbite | green91, Sorry for another question but I am behind a router. DO I need to change ports to connect? | 03:00 |
| bazhang | InfiniteSet, runs the program | 03:00 |
| green91 | you shouldnt | 03:00 |
| bazhang | green91, pardon? | 03:00 |
| Shaba1 | thanks a lot bazhang and IdleOne | 03:01 |
| InfiniteSet | oh I see, thank you, you guys :) | 03:01 |
| green91 | phrostbite: you shouldnt have to do anything on your end, if your mom has a router she may have to set port forwarding | 03:01 |
| westz | InfiniteSet, press alt+f2 and a run dialog will come up. type "qorganizer" in it (without quotes) and run | 03:01 |
| phrostbite | She is not behind any router | 03:01 |
| green91 | and she will need to have remote desktop connections enabled from the system control panel | 03:02 |
| phrostbite | I have the ip address and I set it to access a windows machine and she has it all enabled. | 03:02 |
| chaddy | Rexter: good work | 03:02 |
| phrostbite | She does not have a username or password. when she boots up it automatically goes right to her desktop | 03:02 |
| litropy | what program or library would I use to output the color values of pixels at specified coordinates? | 03:02 |
| Shaba1 | btw I am not a complete computer newbie. I use to be a self taught windows network manager (40 workstations,2 servers, 1 video server 12 client wireless security camera network) before the economy went to hell and I took a janitorial job in order to keep a roof over my head. | 03:02 |
| Rexter | Ok next question! Is there a way to move the dock in Unity from the left side to the bottom? | 03:02 |
| westz | phrostbite, all windows machines have a username and usually a pass, but its not always required to login | 03:03 |
| cola_kid | this wouldnt be a help channel by any chance would it? | 03:03 |
| Shaba1 | the point is I am just delving into linux in order to make myself re-employable | 03:03 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, whats the support question | 03:03 |
| xangua | Rexter: not that i know | 03:03 |
| phrostbite | westz how would I find that info out? | 03:03 |
| green91 | phrostbite: windows rdp requires a user/password to connect. she can look in the user control panel | 03:03 |
| phrostbite | ok | 03:04 |
| cola_kid | i managed to wipe my external hd when i installed a fresh copy of ubuntu.. wasnt paying attention | 03:04 |
| westz | phrostbite, i believe having her go to control panel> users will give the username | 03:04 |
| phrostbite | what if there is no password? just create one? | 03:04 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, want to undelete? | 03:04 |
| westz | phrostbite, what version of windows is it? (havent been paying attention to this) | 03:04 |
| green91 | yes she will have to have one | 03:04 |
| phrostbite | windows 7 | 03:05 |
| westz | phrostbite, windows 7 requires a password, so she already has one, im not sure of an easy way to figure out what it is remotely | 03:05 |
| phrostbite | ok | 03:05 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, is that it? | 03:05 |
| Rexter | xangua, can you just get rid on the dock, and just use cairo dock or something? | 03:06 |
| cola_kid | yes.. i messed with testdisk but didnt really get anywhere.. the exact problem is this.. on instalation i thought i was deleting a second partition on the main drive. deleted the partition and installed what i thought was onto the main drive but it went on the external instead | 03:06 |
| green91 | phrostbite: teamviewer may end up being easier, its a simple website for her to load on her end and youll need the client for ubuntu, it has realtime desktop sharing/control aka you both see the same thing | 03:06 |
| chaddy | night all | 03:06 |
| westz | okay, have her do this: go to the start menu and type "cmd" in the box at the bottom and press enter | 03:06 |
| bazhang | Rexter, no way to move the unity dock, just use classic and something like cairo-dock or awn | 03:06 |
| green91 | phrostbite: and requires no port forwarding etc | 03:07 |
| phrostbite | ok | 03:07 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, you installed over the external hdd data then? | 03:07 |
| cola_kid | yes | 03:07 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, have any backups? | 03:07 |
| zetheroo | cannot get the bleeding VPN service to start! Please help .. | 03:07 |
| cola_kid | nope | 03:07 |
| Rexter | ok, want to play with Unity, not resort back to Gnome. I'll live with it where it is for now. | 03:07 |
| cola_kid | pics and movies | 03:07 |
| bazhang | zetheroo, give way more details | 03:07 |
| Macer | is it possible to assign a drive a uuid? | 03:08 |
| westz | cola_kid, if you've written data over it, it's gone as far as i know | 03:08 |
| bazhang | Rexter, or try unity-2d if that is to resource hungry | 03:08 |
| Macer | as in an entire disk and not a partition? | 03:08 |
| cola_kid | even after a format the data should still be recoverable shouldnt it? | 03:08 |
| bazhang | Macer, what are you trying to do? sudo blkid will list them | 03:08 |
| brokenian | is anyone familiar with ia32-libs | 03:08 |
| zetheroo | bazhang: I enter all the settings into the pptp vpn dialog ... try to connect and it says that "the vpn service failed to start" | 03:08 |
| bazhang | brokenian, whats the real question | 03:09 |
| westz | phrostbite, if you'd still like to get the info for your remote access client, i believe i know a way | 03:09 |
| cola_kid | testdisk didnt display anything other than the linux on it | 03:09 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, if you overwrote it with an install? seems to be completely gone then | 03:09 |
| Macer | bazhang: using a raw disk for virtualbox | 03:09 |
| zetheroo | bazhang: I have no other details than that :( | 03:10 |
| biami | cola_kid, you are dead... it was pics and movies anywaz... get some new | 03:10 |
| Macer | the device assignment in /dev keep changing for the drive | 03:10 |
| bazhang | Macer, no idea, sorry, perhaps #vbox can help | 03:10 |
| cola_kid | lol | 03:10 |
| Macer | so on reboot /dev/sda will move to /dev/sdb | 03:10 |
| Macer | i was hoping to use /dev/disk/by-uuid but uuids seem to be only assigned to partitions | 03:10 |
| brokenian | bahzhang when running a 32bit application, i have to run it via sudo. how can i run it as a regular user | 03:10 |
| cola_kid | stupid question but if files are recoverable after a format ussualy why cant they be recovered after a fresh install? | 03:10 |
| Macer | bazhang: well.. uuids aren't really a vbox thing ;) | 03:10 |
| biami | brokenian, chmod u+x file | 03:11 |
| bazhang | brokenian, that has nothing to do with ia32libs, unless I am misunderstanding you | 03:11 |
| Macer | i was hoping to be able to assign a uuid to the entire drive and not just a partition or try to find out something that works | 03:11 |
| phrostbite | ok what is it Westz | 03:11 |
| cola_kid | shit.. just clicked in my head.. is it unrecoverable because ubuntu will of formatted the drive on install with a new file system? | 03:12 |
| Guest67030 | how can i view long outputs without closing them at the and.. as less and more do..?!? | 03:13 |
| bazhang | cola_kid, it overwrote the data? it's gone. also no cursing please | 03:14 |
| zetheroo | ok, another issue ... 5 out of 10 times when I boot into Ubuntu the system logs me in but I don't get anything more than my wallpaper! Any ideas? | 03:14 |
| biami | cola_kid, see when you format something, it gets removed from the directory structure, but the 1s and 0s on the physical drive exists... until you overwrite it. | 03:14 |
| cola_kid | sorry | 03:14 |
| cola_kid | ok | 03:14 |
| cola_kid | thanks for the help | 03:14 |
| cola_kid | ok.. is there a way to put the dir structure back from ext to fat so its viewable? | 03:15 |
| brokenian | bazhang: the binaries are already executable. If I compile the same source code to run on my native architectecure, it simply runs. when i compile it for a i586, abd try to run it (which I should be able to do, as I've installed ia32-libs) i get a permission denied error. the only difference between the two being the libraries they link against | 03:16 |
| sqlinj | yoo im new this ubuntu stuff and im having huge problems | 03:16 |
| biami | cola_kid, no... its gone... you overwrote it when installing ubuntu on it... | 03:16 |
| bazhang | sqlinj, then ask a question | 03:16 |
| cola_kid | ok | 03:17 |
| cola_kid | thanks for the help | 03:17 |
| cola_kid | laters | 03:17 |
| biami | k... sweet dreams... | 03:17 |
| sqlinj | bazhang how do you PM? | 03:17 |
| bazhang | sqlinj, just ask here first | 03:17 |
| pksadiq | brokenian: try chown and chmod | 03:17 |
| biami | sqlinj, write it here... | 03:17 |
| bazhang | sqlinj, /msg nickname message, but ask first | 03:17 |
| Iron_Chef | what's the easiest way to upgrade to evolution 3.x in Lucid? | 03:19 |
| pappa_bear_ | just ask | 03:19 |
| bazhang | pappa_bear_, he just did | 03:19 |

| pappa_bear_ | sorry lol | 03:19 |
| brokenian | bazhang: im already the owner of the files, and the group is the default of me. permissions are already 755 | 03:20 |
| Macer | ah. never mind. | 03:20 |
| NoWayJose | Okay, so I installed Ubuntu using Wubi through Windows Vista, now my question, can I use Wubi and install Kubuntu as well, and have all 3 on here? | 03:20 |
| Macer | i was able to use /dev/disk/by-id/drive to get it working | 03:20 |
| Macer | thanks anyways. guess a uuid wasn't the best method but the by-id should stay the same when reboot | 03:20 |
| bazhang | NoWayJose, with the package kubuntu-desktop? | 03:20 |
| NoWayJose | bazhang, I was just going to use the wubi installer from the kubuntu installation.. | 03:21 |
| bazhang | NoWayJose, just install kubuntu-desktop then choose kubuntu from the login screen instead of gnome | 03:21 |
| biami | brokenian, then you don't need to be rrot | 03:21 |
| biami | *root | 03:21 |
| NoWayJose | Is it possible to have Vista, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu on the same computer? | 03:22 |
| Iron_Chef | NoWayJose: sure | 03:22 |
| rypervenche | NoWayJose: Yep. | 03:22 |
| biami | maybe some other file it uses doesn't have that permissions | 03:22 |
| bazhang | NoWayJose, sure, but what you are proposing is a lot more effort | 03:22 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: seeing as you have a pretty keen interest.. might I suggest loading Virtualbox in windows as a vm manager and then loading kubuntu/lubuntu etc in that.. or creating a true dual/tripple boot system to play with. | 03:22 |
| Iron_Chef | NoWayJose: you need to install windows first | 03:22 |
| bazhang | Iron_Chef, he has wubi already | 03:22 |
| Iron_Chef | NoWayJose: it's installer clobbers the MBR, but linux plays nice | 03:22 |
| phrostbite | Hey everybody that helped. teamviewer works epically | 03:22 |
| Iron_Chef | kk | 03:23 |
| Iron_Chef | i need to upgrade to Evolution 3.x in ubuntu 10.04 - anyone done this? I'd prefer to use apt | 03:23 |
| NoWayJose | Iron_Chef, I used Wubi to place Ubuntu on here and when the computer starts up it asks me which O.S. to boot into...that is what I was wanting to do with kubuntu as well. | 03:23 |
| NoWayJose | izinucs, I am not sure how to do that just yet. | 03:23 |
| bazhang | NoWayJose, package kubuntu-desktop, choose kde4 at login window. | 03:24 |
| izinucs | Iron_Chef: google for "evolution PPA" and see what you come up with. if it's there for that release go for it.. | 03:24 |
| NoWayJose | bazhang, OK | 03:24 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: you mean a VM or dual boot? | 03:24 |
| lilsec | Hi guys. Trying to get my headphone jack working. I installed gnome-alsamixer, and the headphone jack isn't muted, and it looks like alsa is picking up my sound card correctly. Anybody know of anything else I can try? | 03:24 |
| NoWayJose | izinucs, vm | 03:24 |
| bazhang | izinucs, wubi NoWayJose wubi is not a vm | 03:24 |
| vu1kan | !deop me | 03:25 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: that's easy.. it's like running any other program.. virtualbox.org to download the .exe for windows once installed run it and it will open a window you can paw through to load ubuntu kubuntu in. | 03:25 |
| brokenian | bhazang: the binaries don't need root permission, its apparently the libraries they link against. If I get a permission denied error on files I own that have the appropriate permissions, then the error is with something they are pulling in. I want to know how I can do so without manually setting every 32 bit library in my system to being owned by me. | 03:25 |
| vu1kan | er...disregard, wrong server | 03:25 |
| bazhang | vu1kan, okay? | 03:25 |
| NoWayJose | izinucs, ok thanks | 03:25 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: bazhang is right.. wubi is not a vm.. | 03:25 |
| NoWayJose | wubi is working good so far | 03:25 |
| vu1kan | i'm on another server, writing a bot...i ment to test that function there, not here | 03:26 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: you're a lucky one. | 03:26 |
| bazhang | NoWayJose, then stick with it | 03:26 |
| NoWayJose | i like the way it set up my boot selections. | 03:26 |
| NoWayJose | i have two options, vista, ubuntu... | 03:26 |
| Shaba1 | It was working for me until yesterday NoWayJose | 03:26 |
| NoWayJose | Shaba1, what happened? | 03:26 |
| izinucs | NoWayJose: then stay and play with ubuntu in wubi.. but if you want load kubuntu in virtualbox vm.. it should all play well together | 03:26 |
| NoWayJose | I am guessing ubuntu would be alot better if I were just to format the hard drive and place ubuntu only on it..right? | 03:27 |
| Shaba1 | first time it crashed since I upgraded it to 11.04 a month ago. | 03:27 |
| NoWayJose | izinucs, I will try that. The live cd option is too slow for me. | 03:27 |
| ejv | NoWayJose: several people dual boot | 03:27 |
| NoWayJose | Shaba1, Do you know why it crashed? | 03:27 |
| Shaba1 | Well I was working on something( I cannot recall what) and all of a sudden I got a black full screen with scrolling text and no way to stop it. I just had to power down and reboot back into windows | 03:27 |
| NoWayJose | ejv, I have never tried placing more than 2 operating systems on a comp before...just wondering if one could triple boot. heh | 03:28 |
| NoWayJose | Shaba1, will ubuntu work now? | 03:28 |
| Shaba1 | I have not tried it yet | 03:28 |
| Iron_Chef | NoWayJose: I've had win7. winxp, solaris, ubuntu and gentoo on the same box at the same time - there is no limit. | 03:28 |
| Shaba1 | actually yes I have. for about 10 minutes today just to run a game to see if I installed it correctly | 03:29 |
| Shaba1 | then I just booted back into window | 03:29 |
| NoWayJose | Iron_Chef, sweet | 03:29 |
| NoWayJose | I would like to try Windows 7...they want something I don't have however. Money. | 03:29 |
| Shaba1 | I had a dual boot laptop about 2 years ago. Before I shorted out the motherboard | 03:29 |
| bsmith093 | what do i need to backup to save my gpg key passphrase | 03:30 |
| Shaba1 | I had no problems with it. | 03:30 |
| _Lucifer | is there a way, preferably in gedit since that's what I currently have open, to strip everything after a certain character on each line of a document? long story short, I hosed my system (I think there was an error when I changed the sizes of my partitions, not sure) so I reinstalled. I've got a backup of all the packages I had installed from a couple days back, but I think some of the packages are corrupted or something. I'm thinking stripping everyth | 03:30 |
| _Lucifer | ing after and including the _ from the name of the .deb should give me the package names I need to redownload/reinstall everything | 03:30 |
| NoWayJose | This is a laptop here I am dual booting on. | 03:30 |
| Shaba1 | I just cannot afford the disk space right now | 03:30 |
| Iron_Chef | NoWayJose: win7 is very nice, but ubuntu is better ;-) | 03:30 |
| NoWayJose | I have used Vista 64-bit for 4 years now, I have not had the slightest problem out of it...I know I am lucky. | 03:30 |
| chrisf | NoWayJose: if you were running x64, you probably had h/w that could run it properly ;) | 03:31 |
| Isosceles | hi - I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu ufw firewall for just simple web browsing (desktop). I've allowed 53/udp & 80/tcp, but firefox won't see google if I use ufw default deny? | 03:32 |
| mynotes | test | 03:32 |
| Isosceles | can anyone help? | 03:32 |
| Starminn | NoWayJose: WUBI is *within* Windows. That's why you can add/remove via "Add/Remove Programs." WUBI runs slower than a dual-boot. A dual-boot Ubuntu should be exactly like a single-boot of Ubuntu. Also, not only can you triple boot, you can also: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=147959 | 03:33 |
| Padge | I have a network card that doesn't show up in my list of interfaces, but it shows up in lspci | 03:33 |
| pksadiq | _Lucifer: if you just need to remove the '_' char, just use find and replace | 03:33 |
| zetheroo | anyone know how to fix VPN issues? | 03:33 |
| icode | Isosceles: perhaps you have filtered the output traffic? | 03:33 |
| Isosceles | icode : for web browsing, should I be filtering outgoing or incoming? Do I need both? | 03:34 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, pastebin output of "ufw status numbered" | 03:34 |
| bsmith093 | backup my passphrase for the gpg key? | 03:34 |
| biami | NoWayJose, the only thing good about win7 is that even the viruses are incompitable... | 03:34 |
| NoWayJose | lol | 03:34 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, you don't need to filter outgoing, this isn't windows | 03:34 |
| icode | isosceles: for browsing you need to allow incoming and outgoing | 03:35 |
| _Lucifer | pksadiq yeah, there's that, but I mean things everything after that on a given line as well like one might be "_2.3-14ubuntu1_i386.deb" another might be "_1.2.5.dfsg.1-3_i386.deb" etc | 03:35 |
| Isosceles | kellnola : http://pastebin.com/7egYABQ0 | 03:36 |
| ejv | NoWayJose: i might be in the minority here, but what could you possibly gain by adding a second linux distribution? | 03:36 |
| pksadiq | _Lucifer: I don't know, it on gedit, find and replace don't know the '$' char which means the end of line, but vim does nice | 03:36 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, dude, that's the opposite of what you want | 03:36 |
| pappa_bear_ | isosceles: he just wants the perks of the desktop enviro | 03:36 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, that means you allow traffic IN to port 80 and 53 | 03:37 |
| Isosceles | ok, will try that | 03:37 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, you don't need to do anything to ufw to allow dns and web browsing, by default I'm almost certain it allows all outgoing | 03:37 |
| NoWayJose | ejv, I wouldn't gain anything. | 03:38 |
| _Lucifer | pksadiq thank you. like I said I was only prefering gedit because I already have it open with all the package names on their own line. it'd only be a couple of extra steps to copy and paste into another editor if that'll make it simpler | 03:38 |
| Isosceles | kellnola : I want to deny everything else, want to make a secure simple desktop | 03:38 |
| wildgoose | Isosceles, Try using gufw, set outgoing allow, set incoming deny. | 03:39 |
| kellnola | Isosceles, by default ufw denys everything in unless it was initiated by a connection behind the firewall | 03:39 |
| NoWayJose | I know Firefox won't make my font bigger, grr. | 03:39 |
| kellnola | *denies | 03:40 |
| wildgoose | NoWayJose, CTRL+Scroll UP | 03:40 |
| Padge | sorry if anyone answered and I was gone. I have an Ubuntu box with two NICs, but only one interface is showing up with ifconfig | 03:40 |
| Padge | My router is giving me shit, and I'm trying to get my Ubuntu box to do that job. | 03:41 |
| Corey | Padge: Language, plz. | 03:41 |
| Corey | Padge: So your router is giving you poop. :-) | 03:41 |
| Padge | Corey, Sorry | 03:41 |
| lapaga | since we are discussing firewalls...is there a log file viewer or a ufw interface that shows scanning from outside ips? | 03:41 |
| Corey | Padge: You using networkmanager? | 03:41 |
| GhostWolf | hey is there a speicific chan i can go to to get help on samba for 11.04? | 03:42 |
| Corey | lapaga: That'd drive you slowly mad unless you pointed a log analyzer at it. | 03:42 |
| NoWayJose | wildgoose, okay thank you | 03:42 |
| Corey | GhostWolf: #samba | 03:42 |
| GhostWolf | ok thanks Core_UK | 03:42 |
| GhostWolf | erm Corey | 03:42 |
| Corey | Not to worry. | 03:42 |
| lapaga | Corey, I just sort of like to see. probably already mad... | 03:43 |
| Corey | lapaga: Check /var/log/ | 03:43 |
| Starminn | NoWayJose: I'm not sure if this is by default (I think so, though) but you should be able to SUPER+Scroll Wheel to zoom in and out of the whole desktop. | 03:43 |
| Corey | lapaga: Not sure where in there ufw logs to, I don't run it myself. | 03:43 |
| pksadiq | _Lucifer: any way you can replace '_' with '\n\n', so that it will be placed in a newline, easier to be copied, I hope | 03:43 |
| lapaga | Corey, I know about the logs...just was interested in if there is a pared down version that would only show scans etc without showing all the log. | 03:44 |
| NoWayJose | k | 03:45 |
| Isosceles | ok, now I have 53/udp and 80/tcp outgoing allowed http://pastebin.com/DwsUQ59W | 03:45 |
| taglass | _Lucifer, sed "s/_\\w*.deb//g" < yourlist.txt > outfile.txt might work | 03:45 |
| Corey | lapaga: Now we're back to what I said about "log analysis." :-) | 03:45 |
| Corey | lapaga: Splunk may be overkill, so look into OSSEC-HIDS | 03:45 |
| Isosceles | firefox just returns instantly with an error | 03:45 |
| Corey | lapaga: Failing that, tail -f $LOGFILE | grep pattern | 03:45 |
| NoWayJose | I was in here the other day and some folks was trying to tell me that, I should begin programming starting out with 'C'...I went to the library and got a book on it...I'm not exactly sure this is beginner stuff. | 03:46 |
| biami | NoWayJose, start with python... then C | 03:46 |
| Padge | Corey, I have no such program, evidently | 03:47 |
| ThomasB2k | NoWayJose: don't learn C, it's an old, almost pointless language, and it's not object oriented | 03:47 |
| lapaga | Corey, well was hoping for just something simple:). such as firestarter or what ever. Just like to what my friends in ch or ru are interested in | 03:47 |
| taglass | NoWayJose, http://www.highercomputingforeveryone.com/ | 03:47 |
| NoWayJose | ThomasB2k, What I was hoping to do was to be learn some linux programming and be able to contribue to this ubuntu stuff later on in life... | 03:47 |
| biami | ThomasB2k, hey... C is not old and pointless... you don't have pointers in other languages... pointers rock... | 03:48 |
| chrisf | NoWayJose: ThomasB2k is trolling you. | 03:48 |
| taglass | ThomasB2k, terrible advice | 03:48 |
| ThomasB2k | I am not trolling him. Languages that are object oriented are usually much easier and much better. | 03:48 |
| taglass | ThomasB2k, define better | 03:49 |
| ThomasB2k | NoWayJose: You would be better off learning C++ | 03:49 |
| Blackcamaro8 | Question, how would I go about setting up an IRC server? I have ircd-hybrid and Anope, but all the instructions I'm seeing don't get specific enough for me. | 03:49 |
| taglass | ThomasB2k, a turing complete template system on to pof yoru language. That just screams beginner.... | 03:49 |
| litropy | what program or library would I use to output the color values of pixels at specified coordinates? | 03:50 |
| biami | ThomasB2k, isn't C a subset of C++??? | 03:50 |
| NoWayJose | any of you guys/gals program fluently? | 03:51 |
| ThomasB2k | Yes | 03:51 |
| ThomasB2k | Isn't this off-topic for #ubuntu though? | 03:51 |
| brokenian | i am looking for some help running a 32 bit application using ia32-libs | 03:51 |
| biami | brokenian, which app? | 03:51 |
| NoWayJose | Yea its off topic, sorry about that. | 03:51 |
| Starminn | NoWayJose: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:51 |
| NoWayJose | Starminn, k, sorry. | 03:52 |
| biami | NoWayJose, LEARN PYTHON | 03:52 |
| Isosceles | any ideas why my ufw isn't working for web browsing? http://pastebin.com/DwsUQ59W | 03:52 |
| NoWayJose | biami, Ok. | 03:52 |
| Padge | biami: python has nothing but pointers | 03:52 |
| bpr | hey, somewhere along the line, I've lost the ability to add a folder to Ubuntu One in Nautilus. Has that functionality changed in some update, or something? | 03:52 |
| Padge | biami: c++ has pointers, and it's object oriented | 03:52 |
| Starminn | NoWayJose: Oh, no, not a problem. I didn't think much about it either, but since people are saying 'it's offtopic' I thought I may as well tell you where it would be more *on-topic* | 03:52 |
| biami | padge, excuse me | 03:52 |
| Padge | biami: C# has references (effectively the same) | 03:52 |
| Padge | biami: Pretty much every language either works exlusively by reference or provides access to them | 03:53 |
| whitetiger | sorry guys is there a plugin for xchat or another better client which show me the user which are connected in the chan i am? | 03:53 |
| Padge | Corey: I do'nt have networkmanager, I guess. Should I get it during one of my brief connected periods? | 03:54 |
| biami | whitetiger, biami: click on the text that says '1409 users' | 03:54 |
| brokenian | biami: something i wrote. the problem is that when i try to run it i get a permission denied error. I own the file, and the permissions are already set to 755. If I recompile for 64 bit it just runs. However, the ultimate destination of the software isn't my system, its a 32 bit one, and I need to test the actual binary before i install it. How can I run it without using sudo? I'm assuming I have some setting wrong | 03:54 |
| whitetiger | ahhhhh ok well done thank u very much :D | 03:54 |
| Isosceles | where does UFW log to? I've enabled full logging but my /var/log/ufw.log file is empty? | 03:55 |
| biami | u need to have permission to run the compiler | 03:55 |
| biami | i think | 03:55 |
| qin | Isosceles: Did you restarted ufw service? | 03:56 |
| Corey | Padge: I'd not. | 03:56 |
| Padge | I've been using terminal and gedit | 03:56 |
| Corey | Padge: Configure /etc/network/interfaces properly and it should "just work." | 03:56 |

| camilo | hi | 03:57 |
| Padge | Corey: I think I have a driver issue. Would ifconfig show all my interfaces regardless of whether they're configured to be used? | 03:57 |
| brokenian | biami: its already compiled. i have an actual, statically linked binary. As the binary seems to be fine, i can only conclude the problem lies with the libraries its pulling in. I dnoo't want to play directly with their permissions if I can avoid it | 03:57 |
| qin | Hello. | 03:57 |
| Isosceles | qin : I've disabled & enabled it | 03:57 |
| Corey | Padge: no, ifconfig -a might. | 03:57 |
| Mod-R-Focker | yeah im in finally | 03:57 |
| Corey | Padge: And dmesg to a pastebin would help too. | 03:57 |
| biami | i learnt programming like LOGO -> GWBasic-> C-> C++ -> Python -> Js -> Php -> etc | 03:57 |
| qin | Isosceles: sudo service ufw restart ? | 03:57 |
| brokenian | biami: perhaps there is a custom group i have to add myself to? | 03:57 |
| Isosceles | qin : no change | 03:58 |
| lapaga | Isosceles, could be var/log/syslog or ufw.log | 03:58 |
| biami | brokenian, i didn't understand your question fully... when you say you made a 32 bit app, do you modify the processor registers directly or anything??? | 03:58 |
| === Onryo is now known as DB_DROP | ||
| wildgoose | Isosceles, Temporarily allow all outgoing, then open a browser and do some surfing like normal, now go to terminal and run "netstat -atl". This will give you an idea about what ports are being used | 03:59 |
| Isosceles | lapagna: syslog has no ufw entries, ufw.log is empty | 03:59 |
| brokenian | biami: i have a cross-compiler, created using crosstools-ng. my native system is 64bit, but the cross-compiler compilesfor 32 bit | 03:59 |
| Padge | Corey: ifconfig -a only shows lo and eth0. http://pastebin.com/3Nfv88Cs | 03:59 |
| qin | Isosceles: First time in my life using uwf, looks nice... | 04:00 |
| biami | but did u code any stuff that needs to differentiate between 32 bit and 64 bit registers?? | 04:00 |
| lapaga | Isosceles, are you using something such as gufw? | 04:01 |
| Corey | Padge: And lspci may help as well. | 04:01 |
| brokenian | biami: no, but the machine it will be run on is 32 bit, and i586 architecture. I have to compile for the target architecture. | 04:01 |
| Padge | biami: What kind of programming are you wanting to do? Device, systems, application, or web? | 04:01 |
| qin | Isosceles: What level did you set? | 04:01 |
| biami | application and web | 04:01 |
| Corey | Padge: Looks like it's only got eth0 configured. | 04:01 |
| Corey | Padge: What's your desired goal? | 04:02 |
| Isosceles | wildgoose : Looks like www (80) and listening on ipp? http://pastebin.com/a65R6Mku | 04:02 |
| biami | not working yet though... i am studying computer science engineering | 04:02 |
| biami | and i have 2 more years to go... i am yet to learn JAVA and C# | 04:02 |
| Isosceles | lapaga: no, gufw looked like a very simple gui wrapper on ufw. Want to learn to do this by hand. | 04:02 |

| Corey | Padge: Yeah, all I see is that realtek controller. | 04:04 |
| biami | padge: but i can create professional level apps and websites... | 04:04 |
| brokenian | biami: nevermind. although you will be able to answer my question in time, I think you might not be there yet. | 04:05 |
| biami | ok | 04:05 |
| biami | i shouldn't have said that i am a student | 04:05 |
| NoWayJose | lol | 04:06 |
| brokenian | biami: it wasn't meant to be an insult. im sorry if it sounded that way | 04:06 |
| Padge1 | Sorry, I dipped again | 04:07 |
| biami | no... its fine... i mean... i learn in irc in one night what it would take weeks in a class | 04:07 |
| Padge1 | biami: Then I would START with C, learn it until you can build a linked list, then drop it like a bad habit and never look back. | 04:07 |

| thegoodcushion | I'm looking for software to help me study. I want to create individual 'lessons' that consist of about 30 minutes of private study, and be able to define certain sequences in which they have to occur, and have them put to me at random. Any software that can do this? | 04:41 |
| perko | apt is saying ia32-libs has been superseeded but when i install lib32z1 i get the same error as before | 04:42 |
| sammmy | Just finished installing ubuntu. | 04:42 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, pdf +mp3? what format are the lessons | 04:42 |
| thegoodcushion | bazhang: no, the lessons are just text | 04:42 |
| perko | so which 32bit development libs do i use for wine? | 04:42 |
| thegoodcushion | like, "read chapter 1 of chemistry textbook", "read chapter 2 of chemistry textbook", and they have to occur in that order but at semi-random times | 04:43 |
| sammmy | How do you make the dock open and close faster in unity? | 04:43 |
| bazhang | sammmy, use unity-2d? | 04:43 |
| sammmy | bazhang: what's that? | 04:43 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, random? not sure. why not schedule with cron | 04:43 |
| thegoodcushion | bazhang: so when I fire up the software it will say, today's lesson plan is you read chapter 1 of the chemistry textbook plus chapter 2 of the english textbook | 04:43 |
| bazhang | sammmy, less resource intensive version of unity-3d | 04:44 |
| sammmy | bazhang, it's not running slow, that's not the issue. It's just I want to customize the speed. | 04:44 |
| mmason | Has anybody else had trouble getting xulrunner-dev to install on 10.04? | 04:44 |
| thegoodcushion | bazhang: I mean, I could do it manually with little cards like blank business cards. Surely there's software that can do it | 04:44 |
| almoxarife | perko: is all this so you have wine installed? | 04:44 |
| bazhang | sammmy, unity is not very configurable at this point in time | 04:45 |

| jehujake | Hello, I'm a Seattlite in China (Shenzhen). Is my understanding correct that if I grab a package using one of the standard US servers I can be sure the package is the real thing by the checksum being correct? | 04:45 |

| mmason | It (recursively) wants libdbus-glib-1-2 =0.84, while 0.88 is the one available. | 04:45 |
| almoxarife | perko: and what happens when you apt-get install wine1.2 ??? | 04:45 |
| bazhang | jehujake, why would you use the us servers? use the local ones or the ones in taiwan | 04:45 |

| perko | almoxarife: unable to locate package | 04:47 |
| jehujake | bazhang, Ok, thanks! | 04:47 |
| thegoodcushion | jehujake: as the packages pass through the Chinese servers, they get the Chinese spyware added to them and there is padding to make sure the checksum is the same, so don't worry about a thing | 04:47 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, stop that. that is not true | 04:47 |
| thegoodcushion | jehujake: lol, I'm just kidding of course | 04:47 |
| bazhang | jehujake, disregard what thegoodcushion just said | 04:47 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, wrong place and its not funny | 04:47 |
| almoxarife | perko: how about just plain 'wine' ?? | 04:47 |
| Odd-rationale | Where can I find documentation on the default partitioning scheme when installing Ubuntu? | 04:47 |
| jehujake | hmm, there might be a reason you're showing up in red! | 04:47 |
| thegoodcushion | lol | 04:48 |
| bazhang | jehujake, highlighted when you use someones nick | 04:48 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, ? | 04:48 |
| thegoodcushion | bazhang: laughing at jehujake's red comment | 04:48 |
| jehujake | bazhang, I know, it was just a joke | 04:48 |
| bazhang | !partition | Odd-rationale | 04:48 |
| ubottu | Odd-rationale: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 04:48 |
| thegoodcushion | so anyone got any idea for flashcard software or do I need to do this manually? | 04:48 |
| perko | almoxarife: still unable to locate package. i have the wine package, just need the 32bit libs to install as far as i can tell | 04:49 |
| pksadiq | perko: try reloading the package information in synaptic or sudo apt-get update | 04:50 |
| mmason | Any thoughts re: getting an older package? | 04:50 |
| mmason | Or why a dep is broken? | 04:50 |
| almoxarife | perko: then we are back to installing ia32-libs, but you said it can't be found | 04:51 |
| perko | exactly | 04:51 |
| Odd-rationale | What I am trying to figure out is if you install Ubuntu with the default options (not manual partitioning), how does it decide how large to make the swap partition, root, and home partition (if any). And does it use primary or logical partitions? Is there documentation for this? | 04:51 |
| perko | and the replacement packages that come up in apt don't let wine install either | 04:52 |
| almoxarife | perko: add the ppa for wine, and try again? | 04:53 |

| DanaG_ | I just ntfscloned a partition, only to find that it missed like 60% of the files on the partition. | 05:01 |
| sarthor | almoxarife: yes. | 05:02 |
| gulzar | sarthor: sorry! means? | 05:02 |
| Starminn | Odd-rationale: Ubuntu 10.10 using defaults made a swap file of 2GiB (well, 1.98) which was 4 times the amount of RAM at the time (I had 512MiB), it put swap and Ubuntu in an Extended partition, and I just used the slider to decide how much space for me to have. | 05:02 |
| gulzar | I want to disable my internal HDD for about an hour. How to do this from BIOS? | 05:02 |
| bazhang | gulzar, support question? | 05:02 |
| DanaG_ | Okay, so my source partition had 36 gigs used... and the "clone" had only 26 gigs used! | 05:03 |
| bazhang | gulzar, how does that relate to ubuntu | 05:03 |
| DanaG_ | What gives? | 05:03 |
| gulzar | bazhang: umm are you an administrator? | 05:03 |
| bazhang | gulzar, do you have an actual ubuntu support question? | 05:03 |
| Odd-rationale | Starminn: Thanks! Do you know how the installer makes these decisions? | 05:03 |
| sarthor | almoxarife: 109.234.106.53 is showing Location: Germany [City: ] on dnsstuff.com | 05:03 |
| almoxarife | sarthor: you allow access to your machine via remote desktop? | 05:03 |
| DanaG_ | That's like cloning a human and having the head missing. | 05:03 |
| gulzar | bazhang: i know. I am asking this question at ##hardware but people are vey rude and use bad language so shifted here. | 05:04 |
| sarthor | almoxarife: no | 05:04 |
| bazhang | gulzar, this does make ubuntu your backup offtopic questions channel. be patient or search elsewhere | 05:04 |
| DanaG_ | Also, for some reason, my system keeps starting with Metacity, not Compiz. | 05:04 |
| DanaG_ | How do I make it default to Compiz? | 05:04 |
| DanaG_ | Simple-ccsm won't install, so I can't just go to Appearance and enable it there. | 05:05 |
| almoxarife | sarthor: what log are you looking at? specific | 05:05 |
| gulzar | bazhang: will you please tell me what do you mean by ubuntu? If question is asked about firefox people say that go to mozilla. If it is about video prblem users are reffered to vlc...... | 05:05 |
| gulzar | bazhang: but one thing.. | 05:05 |
| Madpilot | DanaG_ that sounds like a GDM issue - on the login screen, check your session options. | 05:05 |
| Starminn | Odd-rationale: Well I dual-boot, so it asked me how much space I wanted to allocate to Ubuntu. I figured 40 Gigs would be fine, so it made root (/) 40Gigs. By default /home is not separate. As far as deciding how large to make the swap file, I'm not sure. There may be an algorithm there, but I can't say with any certainty. All I know is that with 512MiB of RAM, it gave me 2GiB. | 05:05 |
| gulzar | bazhang: You are always here. So are you an administrator? | 05:06 |
| bazhang | gulzar, please stop with the offtopic chat. | 05:06 |
| DanaG_ | Note: I do seem to have 0.9.x installed, in Natty. | 05:06 |
| sarthor | 3com modem. satus and logs. and then logs. | 05:06 |
| bazhang | gulzar, #ubuntu-offtopic is for that NOT here | 05:06 |
| DanaG_ | For me, with 4 gigs RAM, I use one quarter of that for ramzswap. | 05:06 |
| Odd-rationale | Starminn: Thanks. I'll try digging around more. | 05:06 |
| bruderbell | Does anyone have experience with IR Remotes? I'm looking for some help | 05:06 |
| DanaG_ | Frankly, if something eats so much memory that everything goes to swap, I want that something to DIE, not bring the system screeching to a halt. | 05:07 |
| bazhang | bruderbell, using lirc ? | 05:07 |
| sarthor | almoxarife: http://pastebin.com/jukm9dkn | 05:07 |
| DanaG_ | And I have an SSD, so swap on SSD == bad. | 05:07 |
| bruderbell | Well...I bought an offbrand usb receiver w/ remote | 05:07 |
| tanath | can anyone help me get sound working? | 05:07 |
| bruderbell | supposedly MCE compatible, but it only works as a mouse apparently | 05:07 |
| Starminn | Odd-rationale: Yep. | 05:07 |
| bazhang | bruderbell, you want to use it on your ubuntu machine with lirc? | 05:07 |
| bruderbell | Yes | 05:07 |
| gulzar | bazhang: people at Mint are better than You. Far more better. Very helping and nice. And not just putting questions and no help................. I am going there.........:P | 05:07 |
| bruderbell | I've done a lot of googling to no avail so far | 05:08 |
| almoxarife | sarthor: this has nothing to do with ubuntu, so I will keep it brief, change the modem permissions to something new as far as log in, how I don't know | 05:09 |
| pksadiq | bazhang: gulzar didn't said much to block him , Why you did?(correct me if I'm wrong) | 05:09 |
| DanaG_ | Oh yeah, so last time I tried Unity and Magic Trackpad, it behaved really oddly. | 05:09 |

| awakecoding | I have a desktop computer running ubuntu 11.04, and a pandaboard (ARM) running ubuntu 11.04 as well. I would like to cross-compile between the two, since the pandaboard is slow for compiling | 05:36 |

| awakecoding | lawltoad: you can safely use amd64 on an i7, I am... | 05:37 |

| pksadiq | awakecoding: did you try scratchbox?, I think it does something like that , better than crosscompiling | 05:38 |
| blackshirt | heckJ: okey..are you need edit preseed.cfg | 05:38 |
| blackshirt | ? | 05:38 |
| awakecoding | hum... | 05:38 |
| awakecoding | I was looking at the stuff from the linaro project, which is used in ubuntu | 05:38 |
| awakecoding | haven't tried scratchbox | 05:38 |
| IdleOne | awakecoding: there is a #linaro here on freenode also | 05:39 |
| heckj | blackshirt: I have one that I think is at least basically there - but the installer doesn't jump to running through it. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure if it's an error in the preseed.cfg or if it's just not configured correctly to load it and use it. | 05:39 |
| awakecoding | IdleOne: I'm in #linaro as well now :) | 05:39 |

| MaskedMakrel | I mean the app toolbar, not the main menue | 05:47 |
| heckj | blackshirt: initrd exists in /install/initrd.gz on the USB key - drop it in there? I tried stopping the installer when it was rolling and opened the busybox shell. I didn't see any of the .cfg files that drove the installer in that setup | 05:47 |

| MaskedMakrel | Thanks! It worked. I'm using Desktop edition now. | 05:56 |
| MaskedMakrel | No more space eating toolbar. | 05:56 |
| heckj | I'll try back in tomorrow... | 05:57 |
| IdleOne | MaskedMakrel: I guess I was wrong, cookie for syrinx_ :) | 05:57 |
| MaskedMakrel | It's sort of at the bottom. Kind of a strange place, but if you look for it, you can see it. | 05:58 |
| MaskedMakrel | So, it's much better for me with the smaller netbook screen. | 05:58 |
| MaskedMakrel | Not sure why they default to the large applestyle menu on a netbook. Makes more sense on a larger monitor. | 05:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i need help with sound juicer: I can't get it to see the "mp3" output format even though its on the list of availible formats in the "Edit profiles". :-( | 06:02 |
| MaskedMakrel | Next question is a bit more difficult. I'm using an Asus 1015PEB and the webcam won't work with Tinychat. Any ideas? | 06:05 |
| lawltoad | thanks all for the input, late | 06:07 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i add new output formats to sound juicer? | 06:10 |
| MaskedMakrel | Guess it's for another night. Thanks for the help with the menu bars though. | 06:12 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-957.html linux_is_my_hero this? | 06:13 |
| m1chael | i upgraded my ubuntu, and my screen is flickering/black, i drag the mousse around and click, and things become kind of visible, it's very random and weird.. i dont know what to do to fix this.. it's a dual boot with windows xp... | 06:13 |
| linux_is_my_hero | m1chael: after the bios, you get the grub boot loader os selection screen...the flickering problem is when you pick windows or linux? | 06:16 |
| linux_is_my_hero | once i get a **.tar.bz2 file how do i uncompress it to install? | 06:17 |
| bazhang | linux_is_my_hero, what is the package | 06:18 |
| linux_is_my_hero | bazhang: "rubyripper-0.6.0.tar.bz2" | 06:18 |
| === Chiliblue_ is now known as Chiliblue | ||
| linux_is_my_hero | what is a tar, and what is a bz2? im transitioning from linux to windows and i wanna learn how all of this stuff works. | 06:18 |
| linux_is_my_hero | :-D | 06:19 |
| andantino | do you have the file in the directory where you want it | 06:19 |
| bazhang | linux_is_my_hero, in place of sound-juicer? better to install from the repos | 06:19 |
| linux_is_my_hero | sound-juicer wouldn't even see its own alternative output formats, so i couldn't use mp3 format. | 06:19 |
| bazhang | linux_is_my_hero, I gave you a link for that | 06:20 |
| linux_is_my_hero | i went looking for help with that and heard rubyripper is better for several reasons | 06:20 |
| thegoodcushion | Does anyone know of software that can help me arrange a study plan? Like messages (lessons) that have to come in a particular order or frequency? | 06:24 |
| adurodea | thegoodcushion: google calander? | 06:25 |
| thegoodcushion | I don't think it's quite the same. I want to be able to postpone lessons etc | 06:25 |
| adurodea | i'm goin gto stick with any worthwhile calander app should do that | 06:26 |
| adurodea | unless i misunderstood the question | 06:26 |
| ectospasm | yeah, but a calendar app that's geared towards writing lesson plans. | 06:26 |
| dr_Willis | !tar | 06:27 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 06:27 |
| hayseus | pants | 06:27 |
| thegoodcushion | well I'm thinking of buying a stack of blank business cards, breaking up each item that I'm trying to learn into half-hour chunks, then arranging the cards into some type of order so that I can do between 1 and 6 lessons a day, where each subject's cards are in the correct order. Then I can pull the cards out in sequence. | 06:27 |
| ectospasm | thegoodcushion: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/lesson_plan_templates_teacher_tools.htm | 06:28 |
| ectospasm | that's for primary and secondary school | 06:28 |
| thegoodcushion | yeah, a bit like that but more flexible | 06:29 |
| thegoodcushion | like when I was in high school we'd have 6 periods per day and 5 days per week, and a lesson in each one | 06:29 |
| thegoodcushion | like that, but because I'm just an adult working by myself I might take a day off or do twice as much in a day | 06:30 |
| sharperguy | thegoodcushion, I remember there was a piece of software where you make flash cards with questions on them, and then when it shows you one, you can try to answer it first and then indicate how confident you were with it, and it'll wait longer to show you it again if you know it well | 06:30 |
| thegoodcushion | yeah | 06:30 |
| thegoodcushion | I used it to learn Japanese characters | 06:31 |
| thegoodcushion | that's more like what I want than a calendar is | 06:31 |
| thegoodcushion | is it called anki? | 06:31 |
| sharperguy | maybe | 06:31 |
| bazhang | !info anki | 06:32 |
| ubottu | anki (source: anki): extensible flashcard learning program. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-1 (natty), package size 1161 kB, installed size 4488 kB | 06:32 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, ^ | 06:32 |
| thegoodcushion | yep | 06:33 |
| newbie|4 | hello guys, I would like to know how can I update the program vesion of the Software center | 06:33 |
| thegoodcushion | look, I can do it manually with business-card size bits of card | 06:33 |
| bazhang | newbie|4, upgrade version of ubuntu will do that | 06:34 |
| newbie|4 | its that the only thing I can do? | 06:34 |
| newbie|4 | I don't want to upgrade | 06:34 |
| bazhang | newbie|4, why do you need the higher version | 06:34 |
| newbie|4 | because I want the lastest version of a program | 06:35 |
| celthunder | sup ectospasm | 06:35 |
| thegoodcushion | I think he wants to upgrade his repo source | 06:36 |
| queso | What's with the recent update to grub that requires you to say "Yes" to continue without installing grub in order to continue with the upgrade, when in fact, grub is installed and being upgraded (lucid)? | 06:36 |
| bazhang | !latest | newbie|4 | 06:36 |
| ubottu | newbie|4: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 06:36 |
| dr_Willis | what progra, | 06:36 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, thats not right | 06:36 |
| tensorpudding | newbie|4: the version that comes with your version of ubuntu is the version you can have | 06:36 |
| thegoodcushion | bazhang: okay maybe he wants a backport or ppa | 06:36 |
| bazhang | dr_Willis, software center | 06:36 |
| IdleOne | thegoodcushion: stop guessing and make sure before answering | 06:36 |
| bazhang | thegoodcushion, there is not much chance software center will be backported | 06:36 |
| dr_Willis | hes was a little vague about thay | 06:37 |
| criten166 | how's ubuntu's current built in multi-monitor tools like? | 06:37 |
| criten166 | Have they gotten better from v8 | 06:37 |
| bazhang | criten166, xrandr? | 06:37 |
| criten166 | the main problem i used to have was rotating monitors | 06:38 |
| thegoodcushion | I don't think he wanted to upgrade software center, he wanted to upgrade something else and he thought that upgrading software center would give him the later versions of software | 06:38 |
| linux_is_my_hero | where does linux put program files? | 06:38 |
| criten166 | linux_is_my_hero: check the bin folder | 06:38 |
| dr_Willis | criten166: unity can have issues witj multi ,oni setups | 06:38 |
| celthunder | linux_is_my_hero: depends where you install it to | 06:38 |
| criten166 | linux_is_my_hero: you can check where a program has installed things through the apt manager | 06:38 |
| taglass | linux_is_my_hero, man hier to get a feel for where linux puts files. | 06:39 |
| dr_Willis | linux_is_my_hero: depends on the app also | 06:39 |

| criten166 | dr_Willis: unity? The java game engine? | 06:39 |
| dr_Willis | !unity | 06:40 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME; see !classic. | 06:40 |
| criten166 | Oh wow... i've missed alot hahaha | 06:40 |
| dr_Willis | never hearf of the java thang | 06:40 |
| FreeMan | hi there, I used WUBI.exe to install ubuntu but unfortunately it only cang et started when I boot from ubuntu. I read somewhere that u can use WUBI.exe to run Ubuntu in Windows as a client/window. I use Windows 7. | 06:40 |
| criten166 | dr_Willis: it's been about a year since i've touched ubuntu | 06:41 |
| dr_Willis | unity interface and nulti monitors can be flakey and weird | 06:42 |
| criten166 | dr_Willis: well that's a shame... | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | just a warning | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | kde may be better for you. | 06:43 |
| dr_Willis | it all depends on what you are doing | 06:43 |
| criten166 | I hate the new KDE | 06:43 |
| criten166 | atleast what i used last time.. | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | new? its old now heh. | 06:44 |
| criten166 | bahahaha as i said... it's been a while | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | !lubuntu | 06:44 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | lxde is nice in ways also | 06:44 |
| adurodea | criten166: most ui's are going towards unusability and mass effects that just make things worse unfortunately :( good thing theres still a few decent ones out | 06:45 |
| dr_Willis | these things go in cycles it seems | 06:45 |
| myst1c | Network Manger works, GUI wicd works, Wicd-curses does not. can anybody help me? | 06:46 |
| adurodea | myst1c: use python2 or 3 | 06:46 |
| === som_ is now known as somtec | ||
| adurodea | myst1c: python3 breaks wicd | 06:46 |
| adurodea | for wicd-curses do you have ncurses? | 06:47 |
| bobweaver | anyone know how to make your own repo | 06:47 |
| adurodea | dr_Willis: yeah true enough | 06:47 |
| wafflesausage | adurodea: is there not a package for both python 2 and 3? | 06:47 |
| myst1c | adurdea my interface works, but it won't connect | 06:47 |
| wafflesausage | adurodea: Actually, what I should've asked, can't you have both installed simultaneously? | 06:47 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | finally got upgraded to natty...and now compiz doesn't work | 06:48 |

| [FKU]Greycloak | i can enable compiz, but windows tend to disappear randomly | 06:48 |
| dr_Willis | windows or titlebar and decorations? | 06:49 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | all of it | 06:49 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | if i ctrl+alt+left or right, the window will reappear | 06:49 |
| xiambax | I can start ubuntu in low graphics mode | 06:49 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | and if I draw a selection, it repaints the windows | 06:49 |
| [FKU]Greycloak | its bizarre | 06:49 |
| xiambax | how can i set X to run the way it does in low graphics mode | 06:49 |
| xiambax | Its an MSI with a 8200 | 06:49 |
| myst1c | adurodea: wicd-curses interface works. shows my network, hangs on "Obtaining IP Address," then says not connected | 06:49 |

| wafflesausage | mint is probably "larger" than ubuntu anyway | 06:52 |
| wawa | realy? | 06:53 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | wawa | 06:53 |
| ubottu | wawa: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 06:53 |
| wawa | i do not know | 06:53 |
| bazhang | wawa, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 06:53 |
| Blue1 | xiambax: prolly backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if it exists) then copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf -- YMMV applies | 06:53 |
| wafflesausage | Well, mint is a derivative of ubtuntu, so we may be able to help him if he has an ubuntu-related question | 06:53 |
| bazhang | wafflesausage, nope not here | 06:53 |
| wafflesausage | bazhang: So rebranded versions of ubuntu are simply unsupported in IRC? | 06:54 |

| shorttech | ab2tract both screen turn on, but one of the screens is black and all I can see is the mouse pointer | 07:17 |
| shorttech | ab2tract also when I have the mouse on screen 1 its actually controlling screen 2 | 07:19 |
| shorttech | so anyone else out there that can help? | 07:21 |
| ubuntun00b | ubuntu wont open different partions eventhough there listed in "places" any suggestions? | 07:22 |
| szal | ubuntun00b: error msgs please | 07:23 |
| ubuntun00b | none given | 07:23 |
| ubuntun00b | or you mean through terminal? | 07:23 |
| GhostWolf | hi all, i was wondering if anyone know how i can revert or remove my current version of firefox? i need a toolbar and it is not compatible with the 5.0 version | 07:23 |
| Nuge | Is there a way to use the Gnome environment rather than the Unity environment on a USB live session of 11.04? | 07:23 |
| Nuge | GhostWolf, you can always uninstall then re-install Firefox4. | 07:24 |
| GhostWolf | Nuge, i tried to uninstall but its telling me its not on or no such thing | 07:24 |
| Nuge | You've reached the extent of my knowledge. That's the only way I would know how. | 07:25 |
| szal | ubuntun00b: if Nautilus or whatever you use works remotely like Dolphin, you should see a HAL or udisks msg when trying to enter a partition that "won't open" | 07:25 |
| ab2tract | !classic | nuge | 07:25 |
| ubottu | nuge: 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". | 07:25 |
| Nuge | ab2tract, live USB session. | 07:26 |
| Nuge | Haha... okay then. | 07:26 |
| GhostWolf | does anyone here know how to remove/unintall the current version of firefox so i can install an older version? | 07:26 |
| szal | ubuntun00b: counterchecking on the terminal might also help (ls -lA /mount/point) | 07:26 |
| Nuge | GhostWolf, you uninstall it in the Software Center. | 07:26 |
| ethics27 | hi | 07:27 |
| GhostWolf | Nuge things are better through terminal.. | 07:27 |
| GhostWolf | not everything gets removed if you're always do things through software | 07:27 |
| GhostWolf | center | 07:27 |
| Nuge | I use the Software Center and everything removes fine. | 07:27 |
| Nuge | Anything extraneous that is left over is removed by my computer janitor. | 07:28 |
| Nuge | But suit yourself. | 07:28 |
| Nuge | To each his own. | 07:28 |
| GhostWolf | thats why you use terminal. you can do it at once and not need to do extra steps | 07:28 |
| MaxHR | is there an easy way to install grub from within windows xp to the mbr? | 07:28 |
| GhostWolf | i never even used the computer janitor | 07:28 |
| szal | if you want reliable autoremove when uninstalling stuff, use aptitude exclusively | 07:29 |
| szal | MaxHR: no, since Grub is not a Windows program | 07:29 |
| GhostWolf | szal, i've tried to do it through term but as i mentioned it doesn't show any firefox through term i type sudo apt-get remove firefox5.0 and it says no such thing as firefox5.0 | 07:30 |
| szal | !pm | ubuntun00b | 07:30 |
| ubottu | ubuntun00b: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 07:30 |
| MaxHR | szal: I realize that, I was looking for a windows program that could install grub to mbr... or if that doesn't exist, another useful bootloader, so that I can run ubuntu or other linux live from usb, as my bios doesn't support usbpendrive boot | 07:31 |
| ubuntun00b | alright well when i try and open the other pations (using Thunar) is says "failed to mount...daemon is inhibited" | 07:32 |
| szal | MaxHR: then get a CD drive | 07:33 |
| MaxHR | I have a cd drive, I am looking for a way to avoid wasting a cd | 07:34 |

| ectospasm | MaxHR: there's always syslinux | 07:47 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm but if i want to kill gdm completely? | 07:47 |

| nero__ | i jus downloaded ubuntu on my desktop | 07:52 |
| bkerensa | nero__: Hello | 07:52 |
| FreeMan | aH VIRTUAL BOX Ok | 07:52 |
| satellite10399 | i tried -A -R but am not successful | 07:52 |
| bkerensa | nero__: Need help? | 07:52 |
| nero__ | wats the difference between this and linux | 07:52 |
| FreeMan | thnks for hint, should have thought of that myself | 07:52 |
| FreeMan | =) | 07:52 |
| bkerensa | nero__: Ubuntu is linux | 07:53 |
| nero__ | oh | 07:53 |
| nero__ | is its like an updgaded | 07:53 |
| nero__ | upgrade | 07:53 |
| bkerensa | nero___: There are many flavors (distributions) of linux | 07:53 |
| nero__ | yes i kno | 07:53 |
| bkerensa | nero__: Nope its a full | 07:53 |
| szal | nero__: Linux is the kernel, what's built around it is the distribution, and Ubuntu is one of several hundred | 07:53 |
| nero__ | this is the easiest flavor rite | 07:53 |
| bkerensa | nero__: Its very user friendly | 07:54 |
| nero__ | yea i kno theres a lot | 07:54 |
| nero__ | i messed with free bsd | 07:54 |
| nero__ | n a few others | 07:54 |
| szal | "easy" and "user-friendly" are in the eye of the beholder.. but *buntu isn't the most popular for nothing | 07:54 |
| Christoph_vW | any idea why aptitude wants to install firefox-locale when I try to update my servers? | 07:54 |
| odix | anybody know the best way to set static router ips through ubuntu? it seems i can do it through editing /etc/network/interfaces, but outgoing traffic isnt working correct... | 07:55 |
| szal | nero__: and you might want to speak proper English in here if you don't want to get the queer eye ;) | 07:55 |
| nero__ | one question | 07:55 |
| Christoph_vW | I don't have firefox installed - and it is pretty useless on a server without GUI | 07:55 |
| odix | and hostnames are not resolving which probably has to do with the dns | 07:55 |
| anonwifiissues | I am having issues with my wifi download speed on the ubuntu computer. It is downloading at 20kb per second now. (1.6kb atm on minecraft) | 07:55 |
| nero__ | for example when i watch videos like youtube the video doesnt show clear | 07:55 |
| nero__ | like black spots blinking threw out the video | 07:56 |
| andantino | thats flash player for linux i think | 07:56 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm whats the best editor on ubuntu to edit xorg.conf? | 07:56 |
| nero__ | i dwl adobe the latest one | 07:56 |
| szal | odix: sudo route add default gw <IP or NetBIOS name of machine> | 07:56 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: I prefer vim, but "best" is definitely a matter of taste. | 07:56 |
| nero__ | n still gives prbs | 07:56 |
| andantino | ya flash stinks | 07:56 |
| andantino | streaming vids are a little buggy right | 07:57 |
| odix | szal ? | 07:57 |
| nero__ | is ubuntu compatable with asus netbooks | 07:57 |
| andantino | when you make them full screen you get a bit of a white flash etc | 07:57 |
| odix | i want the computer connecting to the router to assign itself a static ip | 07:57 |
| andantino | i think they have asus nnotebooks with ubuntu preinstalled | 07:58 |
| nero__ | like the videos and webcam and favorite buttons on the netbook | 07:58 |
| odix | while still using dhcp, sort of requesting it frmo that router, is that possible without have to use inet static ? | 07:58 |
| nero__ | i baught mine with win xp n installed winds. 7 pro | 07:58 |
| nero__ | and now i want linus on it | 07:58 |
| odix | also i have another quit weird problem, when ubuntu logs in i just get a terminal screen with the ubuntu background and thast it. | 07:58 |
| wildbat | hmm, anyone installed lxde / lubuntu have idea why "ALT+f2 or W+R " work only once ? | 07:59 |
| nero__ | dam ubuntu doesnt seem so great | 07:59 |
| ectospasm | nero__: welcome to Ubuntu! | 07:59 |
| fairuz | Hi, Natty support is here? | 07:59 |
| fairuz | or +1? | 08:00 |
| shottech1 | whats the urpmi alike for ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| nero__ | so i guess i should have sticked with windows 7 | 08:00 |
| ectospasm | fairuz: natty should be supported here | 08:00 |
| szal | shottech1: either apt-get or aptitude | 08:00 |
| andantino | sudo apt-get install | 08:00 |
| scriptwarlock | nero_: remember ubuntu is not windows | 08:00 |
| shottech1 | thank you | 08:00 |
| nero__ | i kno | 08:00 |
| ectospasm | nero__: remember how much you've paid for Ubuntu. | 08:00 |
| fairuz | Hi, is there no taskbar on Unity? | 08:00 |
| nero__ | yes nothing | 08:00 |
| nero__ | thats y | 08:01 |
| andantino | what package do you want shottech? | 08:01 |
| nero__ | its free so its a little weird | 08:01 |
| Onederfool | is back|track an alternative to ubuntu or can it be implemented within it?? | 08:01 |
| ectospasm | nero__: like any system, it takes getting used to | 08:01 |
| szal | !backtrack | Onederfool | 08:01 |
| ubottu | Onederfool: 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 | 08:01 |
| scriptwarlock | i smell fishy | 08:01 |
| andantino | fairuz you can make one | 08:01 |

| shottech1 | anyone out there that can help with dual monitors?? I have been hitting my head against the wall.. I just can get this thing to work right | 08:02 |
| xt3mp0r | shottech1: whats the problem? | 08:02 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: I use two monitors in Debian here at work | 08:02 |
| xt3mp0r | me too | 08:02 |
| ectospasm | I'm either using TwinView or Xinerama | 08:02 |
| ectospasm | ...can't remember which | 08:02 |
| scriptwarlock | me too i'm using dual monitor but this is ubuntu | 08:03 |
| andantino | fairuz where do you want your taskbar? | 08:03 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm Im trying to use Xinerama, but I keep finding problems | 08:03 |
| scriptwarlock | and its working properly | 08:03 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: yeah, you may want to try XRandR | 08:03 |
| shottech1 | xt3mp0r the problem starts after I make changes on Nvidia-settings | 08:03 |
| fairuz | andantino: I don't mind where, but it will help a lot if I have one =) | 08:03 |
| andantino | you know what i prefer | 08:04 |
| ectospasm | fairuz: taskbars are overrated (-;) | 08:04 |
| anonwifiissues | I am having issues with my wifi download speed on the ubuntu computer. It is downloading at 20kb per second now. (1.6kb atm on minecraft) | 08:04 |
| andantino | i would switch to ubuntu classic desktop | 08:04 |
| fairuz | ectospasm: But it's kinda weird not having it :D | 08:04 |
| andantino | and add windows buttons to the bottom panel | 08:04 |
| fairuz | andantino: I'm doing that right now but for me Unity is cool | 08:04 |
| ectospasm | fairuz: matter of opinion (-; I don't have any taskbars | 08:04 |
| andantino | you could also just add a panel to the bottom of unity | 08:05 |
| andantino | im sure that is doable | 08:05 |
| shottech1 | xt3mp0r after I active the second screen and xinerama. I restart the computer afterwards and them the problem starts. Both screen turn on, but one of the screens is black. Also, for me to do something on screen 1 i need to have my mouse on screen 2 | 08:05 |
| andantino | and then add windows buttons or whatever | 08:05 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, ins't that a wifi issue and not ubuntu? what have you done before it slows down? | 08:05 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm is XrandaR a software or dirver? | 08:05 |
| fairuz | andantino: WIll try that | 08:05 |
| odix | szal.. | 08:05 |

| shottech1 | ectospasm thank you let me give it a shot | 08:10 |
| fairuz | ectospasm: Just wondering since you are not using taskbar, so what do you use to know which programs are opened, to switch from one program to another, etc? alt + tab? | 08:11 |
| andantino | screen switcher? | 08:12 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, no its ubuntu, haven't had wifi issues before ubuntu. ;D I was the one you helped with the wifi issue last night, of it not showing up. I fixed it to show up. But now its downloading slowly. My other computers / iphones / ipad download just fine. | 08:12 |
| Totem-Schalter | hello | 08:13 |
| ectospasm | fairuz: I use a bunch of different workspaces in XMonad, and each workspace has a title which gives an idea of that workspaces purpose. | 08:13 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, wifi speed probably is 54kbps? | 08:13 |
| shottech1 | to restart pc from terminal? | 08:13 |

| fairuz | andantino: I'm at work so can't test it now. I will try your suggestion when I get back | 08:15 |
| ectospasm | random123: no need to boot LiveCD, just boot into single user mode | 08:15 |
| random123 | ectospasm: The root password isn't set | 08:15 |
| shottech1 | I got my screens to work!!! Finally | 08:16 |
| andantino | do we all get a round of drink shottech? | 08:17 |
| ectospasm | random123: to boot into single user mode, edit the grub menu at boot, add the word "single" (without quotes) to the kernel line, and boot from it | 08:17 |
| shottech1 | but its not working right :( | 08:17 |
| andantino | bahhh | 08:17 |
| shottech1 | I should be able to drag windowsn from one screen to the other correct? | 08:17 |
| random123 | ectospasm: tks a ton!!! :) will try that out | 08:17 |
| shottech1 | I can move the mouse curser bettween both screen but it will not let me drag windowns | 08:17 |
| shottech1 | is that normal for ubuntu? I hope not | 08:18 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: sounds like it's a setting... your two displays are actually different software screens, instead of one big desktop | 08:18 |
| === qebab is now known as finnrobi | ||
| ectospasm | except for my MythTV machine, I haven't dragged a window in *forever* | 08:19 |

| ectospasm | I do have some floating windows. | 08:19 |

| lenzoid | Is there a way to get Alt-Tab back into the modern Ubuntu desktop? | 08:20 |
| johanhar | Hi. Any tools I can use to search-replace many files, with a confirm for each replace? Like in vim, ":%s/something/something_new/gc" - but for all my files in the project :) | 08:20 |
| elssha | hi, does 10.04 support touchscreens (tablet laptop touch function) or did that get introduced in 10.10? | 08:21 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, wifi speed of router / network or that I get when I download a file? | 08:21 |
| lenzoid | the value "Cycle windows" in /apps/metacity/global_keycommands was set to <Alt>Escape or so, which didn't work either | 08:21 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: you have nvidia? | 08:22 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm yes | 08:22 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: use nvidia-settings, set up TwinView | 08:22 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, are you downloading a file from your network? | 08:22 |
| ankit_ | anyone having success here installing call of duty 4? | 08:22 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm but I thought TwinView will have both screens doing the same thing? | 08:22 |
| Kartagis | does git use ssh at all? | 08:23 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: no, not here | 08:23 |
| * elssha just got a dell duo tablet netbook; need to know if ubuntu 10.04 will have touchscreen function | 08:23 | |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, are you using a browser for downloading something from a site somewhere? | 08:23 |
| szal | elssha: boot live USB and try it out | 08:23 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, When I download files via firefox / the ubuntu software center, the speed is between 10kb - 20kb a second. I'm downloading from the wireless network of mine. My iPad / other computer has a download speed of 1mb+/- | 08:24 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm thank you once again... | 08:24 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm it worked | 08:24 |
| lenzoid | Kartagis: of course git can use ssh. why? | 08:25 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm kind silly.... on Mandriva I needed to have Xinerama and Separate X screens | 08:25 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm so Ive been going knuts trying to the same here :) | 08:25 |
| asdjaputra | !enter | shottech1 | 08:26 |
| ubottu | shottech1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:26 |
| Kartagis | lenzoid: our netadmin says IDS blocks my ssh sessions, I have just used git and my connection was gone. that's why I wondered | 08:26 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: you can always choose Separate X screen (when you hit the "Configure..." button in "X Server Display Configuration") | 08:27 |
| Kartagis | lenzoid: he says the version of ssh has a security vulnerability so IDs blocks its signature | 08:27 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, try downloading some files using the wget command in the terminal and see the diffrence between browser downloads and terminal | 08:28 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm I know... this whole time I was trying to use Separate X but it was not working | 08:28 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, Ok, I'm unsure how to do that, but I'll see if I can. | 08:28 |
| asdjaputra | anonissimus, wget '<link to file>' | 08:29 |
| lenzoid | Kartagis: did you clone from a repository? usually, most web githubs etc also provide you with a http pull method. and there's also the git:// protocol | 08:29 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, for the sake of testing try this one | 08:29 |
| === baytes is now known as eights | ||
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-64 | 08:29 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, see how fast is your downloading speed using the terminal | 08:30 |
| anonwifiissues | 24.1k/s | 08:30 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, and now go to that site using firefox and download it | 08:30 |
| anonwifiissues | Downloading from firefox is 13 - 15kbs a second. | 08:31 |
| lenzoid | Kartagis: what's IDS btw? | 08:31 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, therefore? | 08:31 |
| elssha | anyone here by chance have a dell duo? | 08:31 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, therefore my wifi driver is messed up still. Ergo I need help? | 08:31 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, so wget is much faster to download compare to firefox? | 08:32 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, thank you for that tip, but I'd be more thankful for help to get from 10kb - 20kb speeds all the way up to my normal 900kb speeds. | 08:32 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, try to use some ff extensions they call downthemall see it can help you | 08:33 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, I'd rather not, I'd rather have normal wifi fix. I've seen others having issues like I have had. | 08:33 |
| ectospasm | anonwifiissues: I suppose what scriptwarlock was trying to determine is whether it's a software issue (in FF and not in wget), or something more low level. | 08:34 |
| === r_ is now known as Guest80584 | ||
| anonwifiissues | ectospasm, It'd have to be an issue with something more. Firefox is slow, wget is slow. It should be 400 times faster. | 08:35 |
| arooni-mobile | hi folks; 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 12.0445 s, 89.1 MB/s ... write benchmark;; and read speed: Timing buffered disk reads: 270 MB in 3.00 seconds = 89.90 MB/sec .... is that pretty decent overall? | 08:35 |
| ectospasm | arooni-mobile: that depends | 08:36 |
| popey | arooni-mobile: is that a spinning disk, not SSD? | 08:36 |
| ectospasm | arooni-mobile: ...compared to what? | 08:36 |
| arooni-mobile | popey, spinning disk | 08:37 |
| arooni-mobile | ectospasm, compared to ssd i suppose? its a 500gb 7200 rpm drive on ubuntu 11.04 with ext4 | 08:37 |
| Kartagis | lenzoid: Intruder Detection System | 08:37 |
| popey | arooni-mobile: yeah, I get 175MB/s on my SSD | 08:37 |
| popey | for buffered reads | 08:37 |
| arooni-mobile | popey, wow | 08:37 |
| shottech1 | so Im inside Disk Utility and it says my second hard drive with windows is mounted, but I cant find it anywhere | 08:37 |
| shottech1 | any thoughts? | 08:38 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: it doesn't tell you the mount point? | 08:38 |
| Kartagis | lenzoid: I was pushing my code | 08:38 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: drop to a shell and type "mount" with no arguments | 08:38 |
| shottech1 | it does and its not in there | 08:38 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, this is atheros issue maybe you can pick somthing from here http://askubuntu.com/questions/37409/why-is-my-internet-so-slow-with-an-atheros-wireless-card | 08:38 |
| arooni-mobile | popey, so roughly double the speed on a ssd as reg disk | 08:39 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, I will have a look. Thanks. | 08:39 |
| popey | arooni-mobile: looks that way, some cheap ssd's are about the same speed as your spinnnig disk though | 08:39 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, but i doubt wifi can give you 900x faster than 54kbps | 08:39 |
| popey | arooni-mobile: and some mobile chipsets are limited to 150Mb/s (Mega Bit) i.e. SATA I rather than 300Mb/s SATA II | 08:40 |
| anonwifiissues | I usually have download speeds of 900kbs from sites. | 08:40 |
| anonwifiissues | not 20kbs. or 10kbs. | 08:40 |
| sammmy | Where should I install my applications? | 08:40 |
| * sammmy is new to the big U | 08:40 | |
| ectospasm | sammmy: use apt to install packages | 08:41 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, ah ok | 08:41 |
| ectospasm | ...or, if you have a .deb, use dpkg | 08:41 |
| sammmy | ectospasm: I'm installing adobe reader | 08:41 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm http://pastbin.com/ARYaBKMK | 08:41 |
| ectospasm | sammmy: why? evince comes preinstalled, IIRC | 08:42 |
| arooni-mobile | popey, yeah i was just curious about the premium id pay to get X boost in speed. i cant really afford the $1500 price tag for a 512GB SSD :) | 08:42 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm take a look at this and tell me if im going crayz | 08:42 |
| popey | arooni-mobile: mine are only 120GB | 08:42 |

| sammmy | So where should I specify to install the application, the terminal is asking me. :P | 08:43 |
| sammmy | Where are all applications installed on ubuntu? | 08:44 |
| popey | sammmy: what application? | 08:44 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: it's not mounted | 08:44 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: unless you check mtab | 08:44 |
| szal | sammmy: it does, but it's hardly useable w/o modification since kerning for OTF fonts doesn't work (yet) in Linux | 08:44 |
| sammmy | popey: adobe reader, but does it matter? | 08:44 |
| j-r | clear | 08:45 |
| j-r | hi | 08:45 |
| popey | sammmy: yeah, it does, most apps dont ask you this | 08:45 |
| anonwifiissues | scriptwarlock, My speed is now 99kbs - 135kbs thanks to that one command of the link you provided. | 08:45 |
| asdjaputra | my internet connection maximum speed is around 30-40kbps, and you guys are still complaining? | 08:45 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm here is the right link http://pastbin.com/ARYaBKMK | 08:45 |
| asdjaputra | heh | 08:45 |
| ectospasm | sammmy: most user apps go in /usr/bin/ but that's only for the executables. | 08:45 |
| popey | sammmy: but if you got an app from a website like adobe.com rather than software centre, then yeah, I'd expect this | 08:45 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, /opt | 08:45 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: no, that's wrong, AGAIN! it's past*e*bin, not pastbin | 08:45 |
| shottech1 | ectospasm sorry here you go http://pastebin.com/ARYaBKMK | 08:46 |
| asdjaputra | ectospasm, patience, lol | 08:46 |
| sammmy | popey: I'm running a .bin file in the terminal | 08:46 |
| littlebearz | lol | 08:46 |
| popey | sammmy: why are you installing adobe reader? | 08:46 |
| popey | sammmy: Ubuntu comes with a built in pdf reader | 08:46 |
| asdjaputra | evince | 08:46 |
| sammmy | szal: what file types does linux kern? | 08:46 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, copy the source folder to /opt | 08:46 |
| sammmy | popey: I just wanted the Myriad Pro font. :P | 08:47 |
| j-r | i want to install a server ssh on my ubuntu. this server has to be not local. First i make the host local ip static. Then it is said thaht I have to open connexion between port 22 and my previous static ip ? How can I do thaht ? | 08:47 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, and ln -s the executable to /usr/bin | 08:47 |
| popey | sammmy: you could probably get that separately, surely? | 08:47 |
| szal | sammmy: ? | 08:47 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, and try running it from Alt-F2 | 08:47 |
| popey | asdjaputra: sammmy is a beginner with Ubuntu, those instructions aren't exactly comprehensive enough for him. | 08:47 |
| weweje | plop | 08:47 |
| ectospasm | shottech1: I already said it's not mounted. The tool you're using is wrong. | 08:47 |
| asdjaputra | popey, k | 08:47 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, open terminal, Ctrl-Alt-T | 08:47 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, then you copy the folder of the source to /opt with: sudo cp -r /path/to/source/ /opt | 08:48 |
| scriptwarlock | anonwifiissues, ok | 08:48 |
| j-r | i want to install a server ssh on my ubuntu. this server has to be not local. First i make the host local ip static. Then it is said thaht I have to open connexion between port 22 and my previous static ip ? How can I do thaht ? | 08:48 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, then you make a link (shortcut in Windows) of the executable to /usr/bin, where you save all your executables with: sudo ln -s /opt/path/to/source/executable.bin /usr/bin/executable | 08:49 |
| llutz_ | j-r: ssh user@host from your client, host is the hostname/ip-addr of the machine, sshd running on | 08:49 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, when you are prompted for password, enter them, and if all the commands succeeded without further prompts you are ready to run executable by Alt-F2, type in executable | 08:50 |
| llutz_ | j-r: if username on both machines is the same, just "ssh host" | 08:50 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, remember change /path/to/source to path of the Adobe reader source | 08:50 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, and change executable with adobe reader's bin file. | 08:50 |
| sammmy | asdjaputra: I'm sorry, I'm getting really lost. :S | 08:50 |
| llutz_ | asdjaputra: better to use /usr/local/bin since that stuff comes not with distribution | 08:50 |
| j-r | llutz_: ok but i want to connect on my host when I am out of the local network (for instance my host is in London and the client is uin paris) | 08:51 |
| asdjaputra | llutz_, hmm yeah | 08:51 |
| sammmy | asdjaputra, all I have is a .bin file. | 08:51 |
| jiltdil | should using 64bit os also increases the speed for the browser? | 08:51 |
| llutz_ | j-r: you need to forward port 22 in your router, pointing to the machine running sshd | 08:51 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, then copy the .bin file to /usr/local/bin | 08:51 |
| sammmy | asdjaputra, ln -s the executable, what executable? | 08:51 |
| sammmy | .bin is known as an executable? | 08:51 |
| j-r | llutz_: How can I do that ? | 08:52 |
| szal | what's this talk abount linking files about anyway? | 08:52 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, yes, it's an executable file | 08:52 |
| llutz_ | j-r: read your routers manual | 08:52 |
| ectospasm | sammmy: not always | 08:52 |
| asdjaputra | szal, installing adobe reader | 08:52 |
| szal | asdjaputra: you don't need to link anything for that | 08:52 |
| wildbat | hmm, anyone installed lxde / lubuntu have idea why "ALT+f2 or W+R " work only once ? | 08:52 |
| asdjaputra | szal, at first i thought he has the source folder | 08:52 |
| llutz_ | j-r: forward external port 22 -> ip-of-the-sshd-machine port 22 | 08:52 |
| FreeMan | thnx for help -cya soon =) | 08:52 |
| llutz_ | j-r: or whatever external port you want to use | 08:53 |
| szal | asdjaputra: since when does Acroread come in source format? | 08:53 |
| asdjaputra | szal, just thought it was | 08:53 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, anyways, why don't you just install it from Software Center | 08:53 |
| rockguy32 | I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Remix version 10.04.2 LTS, however I wish to update to version 11. Unfortunately the update manager doesn't have the update available. Is there a way to update anyways? | 08:53 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, here's how http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/how-to-install-adobe-reader-acroread-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/ | 08:53 |
| szal | sammmy: sudo apt-get install acroread | 08:54 |
| szal | sammmy: way easier than installing from binary pkg | 08:54 |
| j-r | llutz_: i have to configure my router ? Then I have to edit a config file ? | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | j-r: your router should have a webfontend to configure it | 08:54 |
| asdjaputra | szal, the software center is the easiest way to achieve it, he's new to Linux | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | j-r: http://www.portforwarding.org might help | 08:55 |
| sveinse | I have a machine which does not have access to internet. Is there some tool available which can find all updates for this machine and put it on an USB storage device? | 08:55 |
| szal | asdjaputra: GUI software management is a general pita, no matter what the frontend | 08:55 |
| sammmy | So, is software center just a GUI of apt? | 08:55 |
| llutz_ | sammmy: at least it is | 08:56 |
| asdjaputra | sammmy, sometimes | 08:56 |

| szal | rockguy32: define 'this version' | 09:00 |
| rockguy32 | I am running Ubuntu Netbook Remix version 10.04.2 LTS. | 09:01 |
| rockguy32 | I changed the update manager to include normal updates, but it still doesn't show version 11's update. | 09:02 |

| szal | rockguy32: 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 | 09:02 |
| Blue1 | rockguy32: do a fresh install of 10.04 or 10.10 | 09:02 |
| Blue1 | update like that - not recommended | 09:03 |
| szal | rockguy32: if you only want more recent applications, you'll want -backports or a PPA for whatever you want | 09:03 |
| histo | Blue1: you can upgrade from lts to lts | 09:03 |
| rockguy32 | So there's no way to update without a fresh install? | 09:03 |
| Blue1 | histo: i have not had good luck along that path -- I always do a fresh install - YMMV applies. | 09:03 |

| Collin2 | i have wired network setup with a linksys router | 09:48 |
| Collin2 | and a ipv6 modem | 09:48 |
| Collin2 | internet is working fine on my windows machine | 09:48 |
| Collin2 | v6 and 6to4 | 09:49 |
| Collin2 | but the ubuntu machine isnt connecting | 09:49 |
| Collin2 | ive tried rebooting all the network devices in the proper order | 09:49 |
| Collin2 | but its still not working | 09:49 |
| Collin2 | what should I do | 09:49 |
| ragnar0k | what's the ipconfig output | 09:49 |
| ragnar0k | *ifconfig | 09:49 |

| Collin2 | oh sec | 09:49 |
| Collin2 | ill have to screenshot | 09:50 |
| Collin2 | then save to pen drive | 09:50 |
| susundberg | Maybe your modem is not giving out more than one IP? | 09:50 |
| Collin2 | how do i check | 09:50 |
| Clerisy | how come my iphone doesnt mount into linux when I connect it so that I can move files onto it? | 09:50 |
| susundberg | (i guess you can also just type here what it says here for IP and netmask and router) | 09:50 |
| Collin2 | 192.168.1.1 isnt loading | 09:50 |
| susundberg | Shut down windows machine and reboot linux might be the solution if the problem is with the model giving out only one IP | 09:51 |
| susundberg | but that is just an guess | 09:51 |
| susundberg | i mean if modem is ment to share connection for multiple machines it usually haves many LAN-connectors, but this is jsut guessing | 09:52 |
| Collin2 | it has 4 lan connectors | 09:52 |
| Collin2 | the modem is in slot 1 | 09:52 |
| Collin2 | windows in slot 2 | 09:52 |
| Collin2 | ubuntu in slot 3 | 09:52 |
| bhavesh | I am trying to install Java ME SDK on my ubuntu, it is a .sh file. On installation it gives me "No suitable Java interpreter was detected" for which I found a solution on this page: http://unspecified.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/developing-java-me-apps-on-ubuntu/ | 09:52 |
| Clerisy | does anybody know why iphone isnt mounting? | 09:52 |
| bhavesh | but it says I have to do which jar and then stat usr/bin/jar and find one | 09:52 |
| bhavesh | it says "until you find the real location" what is real location? | 09:53 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: why would it only give out 1 address? | 09:54 |

| odix | whats the linux equivalent to format | 09:54 |
| odix | to format a usb drive | 09:54 |
| llutz_ | odix: mkfs | 09:54 |
| susundberg | Collin2: is your windows using dhcp or not? | 09:55 |
| susundberg | Collin2: Is the modem running dhcp-server or are the IP's fixed for the whole network? | 09:55 |
| Collin2 | its running a dhcp server | 09:55 |
| pksadiq | bhavesh: what does you get when you do which jar ? | 09:56 |
| odix | thanks llutz | 09:56 |
| bhavesh | pksadiq: /usr/bin/jar | 09:56 |
| odix | whats the best way to set permissions for /var/www | 09:56 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: the router is running a dhcp server | 09:56 |
| odix | letting unique local users overwrite its contents without setting them to admin group | 09:57 |
| pksadiq | bhavesh: do file /usr/bin/jar and it will show the real path I think | 09:57 |
| odix | or chown /var/www to root ? i think thats bad for security | 09:57 |
| susundberg | Collin2: and the linux machine does not get an ip, but window machine does? | 09:57 |
| mi_mehdi2010 | hi | 09:57 |
| Collin2 | yea | 09:57 |
| Collin2 | does my router putting out ipv6 have anything to do with it? | 09:57 |
| bhavesh | pksadiq: it shows /usr/bin/jar: symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/jar' | 09:57 |
| susundberg | Collin2: you can always try to set the linux machine manually proper settings and then try if the connection works | 09:57 |
| susundberg | Collin2: that might be the case yes | 09:58 |
| susundberg | Collin2: You could also try to swap windows-lan to ubuntu machine and check if that works to eliminate change of physical problem | 09:58 |
| pksadiq | bhavesh: again do file /etc/alternatives/jar and so on, and you will end up with something like ELF 32-bit LSB executable, x86, and give that path | 09:58 |
| bhavesh | ok | 09:59 |

| Isilion | hi i created a VPN connection, but i dont find the place were select which connection attempt to connect. im used to gnome and dont found the equivalent to "connection-manager". | 10:23 |
| wildbat | PythonSnake: speed as graphic, CPU, disk , network ??? XD and i don't think so except disk ~ USB 2.0 ~ you know ~ | 10:23 |
| movan2011 | PythonSnake: If you're talking about disk-transfer speed then usually most definitely. I can't see how else it affects performance outside of not being the latest versions of the kernel, software and drivers. | 10:23 |
| PythonSnake | does ubuntu slow down on live usb ? <--- my question :) | 10:24 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, yes | 10:24 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, somewhat | 10:24 |
| PythonSnake | erf | 10:24 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: yes | 10:24 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: yes as the OS is run in ram and parsed from a slow USB media | 10:24 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, due to write read lagging the system sometimes can be very slow.. | 10:25 |
| movan2011 | PythonSnake: I was going to say what ikonia said. | 10:25 |
| PythonSnake | I 'll use an external hdd | 10:25 |

| PythonSnake | teetasse: What's the best or most popular of these ? | 10:26 |

| === larsemil1 is now known as larsemil | ||
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, if you would like to make a live USB i recommend you to use Kingston DT, it's fast and recognizable at boot | 10:27 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, knoppix, slitaz, puppy | 10:27 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: i would recommend you knoppix if you are new to linux and stuff... if you want something fast and effcitve use puppy linux ... i never tried other live OS | 10:27 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, and even then the write hardware-waits will kill your performance.. | 10:27 |
| PythonSnake | is puppy linux worse than ubuntu ? | 10:28 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: knoppix is a good bit slower tha puppy.... puppy is really frickin fast!!! but it is not as userfriendly as knoppix... | 10:28 |
| faceface | hi | 10:28 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, of course unless you run the whole system from ram | 10:28 |

| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, puppy is damn fast and its useful if you're planning to only use it to code python | 10:29 |
| faceface | but the applet doesn't appear in my sys tray | 10:29 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, slax has copy to ram as a default, however if you want a full development system you will need a lot of memory.. | 10:29 |
| MagePsycho | guys one quick question.. i want to search files (ignoring .svn files) with content "top.links" | 10:29 |

| lapion | PythonSnake, using live systems is not safe as a development system, you have to remember to save your stuffs each time, and if you have a system crash you could lose everything | 10:30 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, if you know how to use the package manager to install openjdk, yes | 10:30 |
| qin | faceface: gnome-panel --replace | 10:31 |

| Guest19730 | is there a way to find a the image of a systray icon of a specific porgram without having to search through tons of folders? i want to replace the xchat icon with a mono-coloured one.. | 10:35 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, but hey, you're asking in #ubuntu what did you expect? | 10:35 |
| qin | PythonSnake: Yeah, sure. | 10:35 |
| PythonSnake | lol | 10:35 |
| pksadiq | PythonSnake: I hope Ubunut is well configured for easy use of linux for Newbies | 10:35 |
| asdjaputra | Guest19730, it should be located at /usr/share/icons | 10:35 |
| pksadiq | *Ubuntu | 10:36 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, only for python right? | 10:36 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: so if i understood your problem right... you have ubuntu system up and running, but you are running out of space and you want to start to develop python.... is that correct? | 10:36 |
| Isilion | asdjaputra: no network manager on notification area | 10:36 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, you could get a bigger hdd.... development will get you money, so you could invest some in advance.. | 10:36 |
| asdjaputra | Isilion, then, add it | 10:36 |
| movan2011 | Guest19730: Most system stored icons use found in the /usr/share/icons folder so you could Alt+F2 and type nautilus /usr/share/icons and browse those folders. | 10:36 |
| Guest19730 | asdja: i can't find it there - i already replaced an xchat icon there, but it didn't have an effect | 10:36 |
| PythonSnake | if I use full system is Ubuntu better than puppy linux ? | 10:36 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: I upgraded my routers firmware | 10:36 |
| Isilion | asdjaputra: name | 10:36 |
| PythonSnake | asdjaputra: yes and later java c++ | 10:36 |
| PythonSnake | and stuff | 10:36 |
| PythonSnake | :) | 10:36 |
| qin | pksadiq: Genius! Ubu-nuts! | 10:36 |
| Collin2 | now im on internet on windows pc, and local-only on ubuntu | 10:36 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, start with Gambas | 10:36 |
| Collin2 | :s | 10:36 |
| Guest19730 | movan, it's certainly not there :/ | 10:37 |
| gasim | hello | 10:37 |
| asdjaputra | Isilion, http://userbase.kde.org/NetworkManagement | 10:37 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: never heard of gambas... | 10:37 |
| PythonSnake | asdjaputra: Gambas ? | 10:37 |
| susundberg | Collin2: local only as you have connection to router but not to internet? | 10:37 |
| gasim | how to install ubuntu minimal on a harddrive | 10:37 |
| gasim | external harddrive | 10:37 |
| pksadiq | PythonSnake: no don't use GAMBAS, it is bad I think, because it's a small replica of Visual BASIC | 10:38 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, teetasse, a VB.Net like language | 10:38 |
| === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ | ||
| gasim | without a cd | 10:38 |
| asdjaputra | pksadiq, yeah but it's good for beginners | 10:38 |
| susundberg | gasim: as installing on any harddrive. Just select proper harddrive when the installer is asking where to install | 10:38 |
| Isilion | asdjaputra: ok i found it. my vpn connection doesn appear, but appears on system settings / networking | 10:38 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: ok, let's say it like this: if you have very limited hardware (low hard disk space, slow cpu, little ram) go for puppy or knoppix... if you computer is a bit faster, go for ubuntu | 10:38 |
| pksadiq | asdjaputra: at my country The students are first taught python, better to read the hacker howto at http://catb.org | 10:39 |
| gasim | i can't get the installer | 10:39 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, i would recommend debian better, Ubuntu's first install have too many eye-candy | 10:39 |
| qin | teetasse: There is lubuntu, xubutnu too | 10:39 |
| gasim | is there any way to do it manually | 10:39 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, wants to develop with python on a live system, he is not thinking straight. | 10:39 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: also, you can do what i did: i have a very weak netbook... so i installed the ubuntu minimal version, and installed fluxbox instead of gnome... that gives you a lot of speed and you still have all benefits from ubuntu | 10:39 |
| movan2011 | Guest19730: try running nautilus, press CTRL+L and type /usr/share/icons into the location bar. You are running ubuntu aren't you 'cause that's where all system installed icons are stored. If you've installed icon themes they're normally in the hidden .icons folder in your user's home folder. | 10:39 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: also, you can do what i did: i have a very weak netbook... so i installed the ubuntu minimal version, and installed fluxbox instead of gnome... that gives you a lot of speed and you still have all benefits from ubuntu asdjaputra | 10:39 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: you there? | 10:40 |
| lapion | teetasse, he doesn't want to install he wants to develop on a live system | 10:40 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, PythonSnake yeah that's a very good idea, fluxbox | 10:40 |
| * asdjaputra like fluxbox | 10:40 | |
| teetasse | fluxbox is the best!!! :D | 10:40 |
| wildbat | "lxpanelctrl run " only worked once per session ~ anyone know y ? | 10:40 |
| * asdjaputra hi-5ed with teetasse | 10:40 | |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: is it important for you tpo have a live system? | 10:41 |
| PythonSnake | fluxbox ? | 10:41 |
| asdjaputra | for me its Fluxboxed Debian | 10:41 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 10:41 |
| gasim | anyone? | 10:41 |
| asdjaputra | Alt-F1 is for opening xterm | 10:41 |
| asdjaputra | and it's fastt | 10:41 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: it is a user interface... like gnome, or kde... but much more minimal and faster | 10:41 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: hmm, maybe no I'll try to get some space | 10:41 |
| Collin2 | can someone help me? | 10:41 |
| lapion | teetasse, asdjaputra he has been talking about a live system the whole time. | 10:41 |
| Collin2 | My windows pc is connected to the same router as my ubuntu pc | 10:41 |
| Collin2 | and the windows has internet, but not the ubuntu | 10:41 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, if you're going to develop applications with Linux you have to get used to some minimal WMs | 10:42 |
| dr_Willis | window manager is fluxbox | 10:42 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, all you need for an install is 8 to 10 maybe 12 GiB | 10:42 |
| Collin2 | the ubuntu is on local-only | 10:42 |
| teetasse | lapion: i understood that he want's a live system because he is running out of space... so either clear up the hdd or mess with live systems | 10:42 |
| PythonSnake | 12 GB | 10:42 |
| PythonSnake | O.O | 10:42 |
| asdjaputra | i don't recommend live systems, they sux | 10:42 |
| wildbat | Collin2: can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 10:42 |
| asdjaputra | sorry for the language | 10:42 |
| Collin2 | sec | 10:42 |
| * teetasse agrees with asdjaputra ... shomehow | 10:42 | |
| PythonSnake | how much space ubuntu require ? | 10:42 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, 2.6 minimal | 10:43 |
| gasim | what is Ubuntu Minimal? | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | it deends on your needs. live cds are handy tools | 10:43 |
| gasim | is it just a terminal | 10:43 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: it says net destination unreachable | 10:43 |
| qin | !minimal | gasim | 10:43 |
| ubottu | gasim: 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 | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | !mini | 10:43 |
| gasim | with the terminal commands | 10:43 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, I ran ubuntu for some years on a 7.8GiB CF card configured as a hdd.. | 10:43 |
| dr_Willis | its what you tell it to install | 10:43 |
| pRoV7x | what's the best email client on Ubuntu? | 10:43 |
| teetasse | gasim: it will only install waht you need... but no eyecandy and stuff... until you add it yourself with apt | 10:44 |
| asdjaputra | dr_Willis, Backtrack live DVD *is* useful, but not Ubuntu's | 10:44 |
| wildbat | Collin2: tracepath 8.8.8.8 | 10:44 |
| ikonia | pRoV7x: best is subjective, try them and see what you like | 10:44 |
| dr_Willis | !best | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:44 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, #ubuntu-bots | 10:44 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, go there and ask BestBot, what is the best email client on Ubuntu | 10:44 |
| gasim | will it have just terminal | 10:44 |
| gasim | cz thats what i need? | 10:44 |
| asdjaputra | gasim, it should be | 10:44 |
| gasim | so its actually OS? | 10:44 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: haha, played around with it when i was a evil HaX0R :P ... but youre right, backtrack has good default settings | 10:45 |
| dr_Willis | gasim: is that what you need? | 10:45 |
| asdjaputra | gasim, yes | 10:45 |
| pRoV7x | < ikonia > what's subjectives | 10:45 |
| gasim | yes | 10:45 |
| gasim | thanks | 10:45 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, i was, and i still am :p | 10:45 |
| asdjaputra | aircrack-ng -w password.lst | 10:45 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: hm, so i should start looking for a cloack for my nick :P | 10:45 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, best thingy | 10:45 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, go to #ubuntu-bots | 10:46 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: collinm2.local 0.696ms asymm 106 | 10:46 |

| PythonSnake | ubuntu minimal version+fluxbox=ubuntu ? | 10:46 |
| gasim | will it work? | 10:46 |
| gasim | grub* | 10:46 |
| susundberg | Collin2, wildbat: since your windows machine is connected, i guess problem is with connection to your router. Can you ping your router Collin? | 10:46 |
| Collin2 | not from my windows machine | 10:47 |
| Collin2 | i cannot | 10:47 |
| susundberg | Collin2: If you can then that is ok, if you cannot, then the dhcp server on the modem/router is not working properly | 10:47 |
| susundberg | Collin2: What! windows machine had the connection working? | 10:47 |
| pRoV7x | < qin > thanks | 10:47 |
| Collin2 | yes | 10:47 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, gosh, just install ubuntu minimal version, then apt-get install fluxbox, there, you got a development environment for python, java, C++ | 10:47 |
| susundberg | Collin2: Did you btw check the cable swappig? | 10:47 |
| Collin2 | ye | 10:47 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, what is your reason for not having space to install a 5 to 6 GiB large system ? hdd media is really cheap currently.. | 10:47 |
| Collin2 | i updated modem firmware | 10:47 |
| susundberg | Collin2: Then why cannot you ping the router from your windows machine? | 10:47 |
| Collin2 | i dont know | 10:48 |
| qin | pRoV7x: try: pro<TAB> | 10:48 |
| PythonSnake | asdjaputra: developing C++ is possible on linux ? o.O | 10:48 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, duh | 10:48 |
| Collin2 | all the stuff in ipconfig is v6 addresses | 10:48 |
| Collin2 | even the default gateway | 10:48 |
| susundberg | Collin2: Did cable swapping work : now ubuntu machine has connection but windows not? | 10:48 |
| Collin2 | and i try to open it and it doent load | 10:48 |
| PythonSnake | lapion: cuz I'll dual boot | 10:48 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: no it did not | 10:48 |
| susundberg | Collin2: what doesnt load? Open what?:) | 10:48 |
| dr_Willis | !compile | 10:49 |

| Collin2 | the router options page | 10:49 |
| susundberg | From what machine? | 10:49 |
| Collin2 | the ubuntu | 10:49 |
| Collin2 | i cant load it on the windows one | 10:49 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, linux has something called a partition manager that can resize any windows partition and make some space to create a linux partition to install any distro on.. | 10:49 |
| Collin2 | but i can from the ubuntu | 10:49 |
| susundberg | Then that is windows problem and not ubuntu problem? | 10:50 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, without any loss of dat on the windows system.. | 10:50 |
| Collin2 | no no | 10:50 |
| susundberg | What is the problem now then? | 10:50 |
| PythonSnake | lapion: huh ? | 10:50 |
| qin | pRoV7x: Keep it in channel | 10:50 |
| lapion | *daTA | 10:50 |
| Collin2 | the ubuntu machine is connecting (local only) to the router fine, and i can ping the router. The windows machine is only connected to the internet, and i cant ping the router | 10:50 |
| Collin2 | is it possible for my modem to prevent my router from sharing the connection? | 10:50 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, eleaborate on huh pls | 10:51 |
| pRoV7x | does evolution, thunderbird download the folders too, the ones in the email account and how | 10:51 |
| susundberg | Collin2: sure it is possible but it sounds weird. | 10:51 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, ask in #thunderbird | 10:51 |
| susundberg | Collin2: is your gateway ok on the ubuntu machine? | 10:51 |
| wildbat | Collin2: do a full reset the router, and reconfig it ? | 10:51 |
| PythonSnake | lapion: like taking 5gb from D: to C: ? | 10:51 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: i did that already, multiple times | 10:51 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: yes | 10:51 |
| susundberg | Collin2: 'route' command on console | 10:51 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: ye, i can | 10:52 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| PythonSnake | and where is that minimal version | 10:52 |
| qin | Collin2: Yes, since router need to (usually) register itself with ISP, what link do you have ADSL? | 10:52 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: on the ubuntu machine? | 10:52 |
| pRoV7x | ok | 10:52 |
| susundberg | Collin2: yes | 10:52 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: please, to make things simple... what is your currents setup? what OS do you have on your computer and what are its specifications? | 10:52 |
| susundberg | qin Collin2 : i guess also that this is the case -- the router needs to be NATing the connection | 10:52 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: windows 7 86x | 10:52 |
| PythonSnake | x86* | 10:52 |
| PythonSnake | ultimate version | 10:52 |
| Collin2 | the modem is connected to ISP, 1 port out going in to port 1 on router, port 2 is windows machine, port 3 is ubuntu machine | 10:52 |
| asdjaputra | pRoV7x, #mozilla | 10:53 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: I have 'NAT' option enabled in the router page | 10:53 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, yes could be done, however it would be more like taking at least 8 GiB from C: and creating linux partition and swap partition ( both not available to windows anymore.. | 10:53 |
| susundberg | Collin2: OK, then that should not be the problem, how about the 'route' output? | 10:53 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, however you do need that amount of freespace in the filesystem on C: | 10:53 |
| Collin2 | sec | 10:54 |
| susundberg | and ifconfig output -- does the address look like one you should get from your router? | 10:54 |
| wildbat | Collin2 ~ you should have WAN port on router connected the modem not port 1 | 10:54 |
| qin | Collin2: Does ubuntu is hook up to modem? | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | yes qin | 10:54 |
| newbie01 | how do I download old versions of ubuntu | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: the address is 192.168.1.101 for the ubuntu machine | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | the dhcp starts at .100 | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | so the windows machine has to be .100 | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | but its not appearing in dhcp client table | 10:54 |
| Collin2 | susundberg | 10:55 |
| susundberg | Collin2: so that should be fine | 10:55 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: and how big is your hard disk? | 10:55 |
| Collin2 | ill get a screenshot | 10:55 |
| qin | Collin2: Does it have ip consistent with windows? Same class? | 10:55 |
| PythonSnake | 320 GB | 10:55 |
| susundberg | Collin2: how about the route command! | 10:55 |
| susundberg | is the gateway proper? | 10:55 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: im getting a screenshot | 10:55 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: and all your partitions are full? | 10:55 |
| susundberg | Just copy-paste to pastebin | 10:55 |
| PythonSnake | yeah | 10:55 |
| susundberg | well whatever | 10:55 |
| lapion | PythonSnake, how much freespace is there in C: and do you actually have a D: partition ? | 10:56 |
| newbie01 | how do I download older versions of ubuntu? | 10:56 |
| newbie01 | i.e. where from | 10:56 |
| fatherjack | Collin2: have u tried to set dns addresses on ubuntu machine | 10:56 |
| wildbat | Collin2: what windows' ipconfig /all give you then ? | 10:56 |
| PythonSnake | lapion: 500 mb and yeah | 10:56 |
| Collin2 | the gateway says: 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 | link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 | default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 | 10:56 |

| sammmy | I want the buttons to be on the right. | 10:59 |
| susundberg | Collin2: your windows machine is not on DHCP, you can see that from the IP address , right? | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | yes | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | but why is the ubuntu | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | and not the windows | 11:00 |
| susundberg | Collin2: The router is configured wrong, and you need to check its manual etc to get it done properly | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | i dont understand | 11:00 |
| wildbat | Collin2 susundberg, you plugged the wrong port ~do the router have a WAN port ? | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: it has 5 ports: 1,2,3,4 and internet | 11:00 |
| wildbat | Collin2: coz you have the modem in port 1 | 11:00 |
| wildbat | that y | 11:00 |
| PythonSnake | ubuntu - applications and stuff = minimal version ? | 11:00 |
| wildbat | modem on internet port | 11:00 |
| Collin2 | when i plug it in the internet port, the internet doesnt work on either machine | 11:01 |
| NET||abuse | wow, updated my 11.04 install on my 3 year old EeePc 1000h, holey crap, it seems to be way faste.r | 11:01 |
| susundberg | Collin2: I am out of ideas, except that router might be badly configured. The modem might be running also dhcp server, giving the only proper addess to windows machine. | 11:01 |
| wildbat | susundberg: port 1-4 is switched ~ | 11:01 |
| wildbat | ^Collin2 i mean | 11:01 |
| Collin2 | ok | 11:01 |
| susundberg | wildbat: I got the picture that its a router machine running NAT not switch or anything | 11:01 |
| Collin2 | susundberg: It has NAT option, which is enabled | 11:02 |
| susundberg | Collin2: or the ISP might be running dhcp server that is visible to windows machine, if the router is not doing NAT | 11:02 |
| NET||abuse | have there been big updates to unity lately, speed improvements? | 11:02 |
| Collin2 | should i disable NAT, plug modem in WAN port, and keep DHCP enabled? | 11:02 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: more or less... the thing is like this: minimal and later add what you need... or full install and then painfully remove all the stuff you dont need | 11:02 |
| NET||abuse | seems way more usable after that update | 11:02 |
| susundberg | Collin2: well i dont know, i would suspect that NAT box | 11:02 |

| PythonSnake | lapion: stuff lol | 11:04 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: maybe with wine... a windows emulator for linux... but it will be better to use open office or libre office | 11:04 |

| dr_Willis | 6 character file name limit old... | 11:07 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: cuz ubuntu is better (faster, more tools....) | 11:07 |
| === mb is now known as Guest73790 | ||
| bp__ | i guess this is how everybody knows it and nobody bothered to change it | 11:08 |
| susundberg | wildbat: so hes router -- that should be natting -- is not working properly right? | 11:08 |
| susundberg | his not hes | 11:08 |
| pksadiq | wildbat: anyway you could alias umount to unmount so to use unmount as command :) | 11:08 |
| PythonSnake | how to install minimal version without cd | 11:09 |
| PythonSnake | ?? | 11:09 |
| dr_Willis | then get confused on other systems | 11:09 |
| dr_Willis | !install | 11:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 11:09 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: ok, first of all, forget about the live systems. they are slow, and if you use a fast one, it will be a minimal one that requries knowledge and skills... the best thing for you is to free up some space, 5 GB or so, and install ubuntu minimal or xubuntu. during the install you can resize the partitions and everything will be ok | 11:09 |
| Clerisy | how can I find my UUID? | 11:10 |
| wildbat | susundberg: no ~ he need NAT ~ and just rourter is connected to the modem on wrong port ~ now he is linked up a modem , router, and pc x2 with a switch ~ | 11:10 |
| ikonia | Clerisy: sudo blkid | 11:10 |
| === lng is now known as Guest51320 | ||
| dr_Willis | you can do a normsl install to a usb flash drive also | 11:10 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: how to install minimal w/out cd | 11:10 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, well said | 11:10 |
| wildbat | susundberg: only 1 will win the race to the modem and get the ip | 11:10 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, if you don't want to waste CDs on small isos, use unetbootin to burn the iso to USB, and run it at boot | 11:10 |
| Kartagis | hi | 11:10 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: afaik xubuntu needs about 3 GB so better go with that because it has graphical installer... that's better and easier to understand for you... think asdjaputra will agree | 11:10 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, so you don't run it from that USB but you install ubuntu through it | 11:11 |
| Kartagis | how can I revert to previous version of openssh? Natty here | 11:11 |
| asdjaputra | xubuntu, yeah its beginner DE but quite strong | 11:11 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: asdjaputra there is a program fro windows that can create bootable pen drives from iso images | 11:11 |
| asdjaputra | unetbootin? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: why would you want to do that ? | 11:11 |
| Hempster | yes that will work | 11:12 |
| dr_Willis | lubuntu is smaller then xfce i belive | 11:12 |
| asdjaputra | dr_Willis, true | 11:12 |
| odix | how can i list my usb drive in ubuntu ? | 11:12 |
| odix | cmd line | 11:12 |
| Onederfool | lsusb | 11:12 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: netadmin says 5.8p1 is blocked by IDS | 11:12 |
| odix | then format use mkfs | 11:12 |
| odix | ok | 11:12 |
| asdjaputra | odix, cd /media;ls | 11:12 |
| teetasse | dr_Willis: asdjaputra but i think xubuntu is better supported... | 11:12 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, lxde's interface is trying to resemble vista | 11:12 |
| PythonSnake | xubuntu ? | 11:12 |
| dr_Willis | i perfer lxde over fxce | 11:12 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: who wants that? | 11:13 |
| teetasse | hahaha | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: then you should talk to your netadmin guys as downgrading ssh to a less secure/bug version is backwards instead of updating the netadmin rules | 11:13 |
| odix | whats the difference in ls and l | 11:13 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, Xfce Ubuntu | 11:13 |
| asdjaputra | lol | 11:13 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | Hey guys, when I connect usb hdd it mounts automaticly with a specific name. How do I change the name it mounts with? | 11:13 |
| iAmZee | hello | 11:13 |
| Hempster | why would you rename the mounted name | 11:13 |
| asdjaputra | Xfce is like Gnome or KDE, but you shouldn't mind about that, you should just know that it works | 11:13 |
| odix | hmm i dont see it, well i see a device | 11:13 |
| odix | unetbootin picks it up but i dont see /dev/sdb1 anywhere | 11:13 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: download xubuntu and use unetbootin to make a pendrive from it... then you can use that pendrive to install xubuntu | 11:13 |
| dr_Willis | Ivan_The_Terribl: change rhe filesystem label | 11:13 |
| pksadiq | teetasse: don't blame anybody, please | 11:13 |
| susundberg | wildbat: oh yeah, i understood his network setup badly, you are right here. | 11:13 |
| gry | odix: think none | 11:14 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, do you need remote help, you sure are new to Linux | 11:14 |
| odix | gry ? | 11:14 |
| qin | odix: sudo fdisk -l , or (if mountd) df -h | 11:14 |
| gry | 12:13:04 < odix> whats the difference in ls and l | 11:14 |
| gry | 12:14:07 < gry> odix: think none | 11:14 |
| susundberg | I understood that surely he has the modem connected directory to router only -- but yeah he says its not | 11:14 |
| odix | thanks | 11:14 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: xubuntu is better than ubuntu mini ? | 11:14 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I don't quite understand. I think if I downgrade to a previous version, the chances of IDS blocking me is slim. why should I talk to netadmin? | 11:14 |
| gry | user@laptop:~$ l --help | 11:14 |
| gry | Usage: ls [OPTION]... [FILE]... | 11:14 |
| susundberg | though that setup should work if he would be using fixed IP's on the PC's .. | 11:14 |
| wildbat | anyone know how to fix "lxpanelctrl run" that it can only once per session on lxde/lunbuntu | 11:14 |
| gry | odix: ^^^ | 11:14 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | dr_Willis, could you explain how exactly? With gparted? | 11:14 |
| asdjaputra | gry, ls = ls --color=auto, l = ls -l | 11:14 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: it is better for beginners | 11:14 |
| dr_Willis | Ivan_The_Terribl: thats one way | 11:15 |
| PythonSnake | asdjaputra: Idk how to remote with linux ... | 11:15 |
| odix | doh, i was sshd into a server | 11:15 |
| gry | asdjaputra: ah | 11:15 |
| odix | no wonder i couldnt see it | 11:15 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, Teamviewer | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: to get the IDS to not block the better version of SSH | 11:15 |
| Ivan_The_Terribl | I see thank you. | 11:15 |
| wildbat | susundberg: fix ip can't help ~ he need NAT for internet sharing | 11:15 |
| gry | PythonSnake: vnc | 11:15 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: Teamviewer during install? | 11:15 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, umm nope | 11:15 |
| asdjaputra | lol | 11:15 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: that's about me I think, not netadmin or IDS | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: what ? | 11:16 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: why do you suggest it when i can not be used during install? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: if your IDS is blocking the new SSH version, update your IDS to not block the newer ssh version, don't downgrade ssh | 11:16 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: ahhhh... you for the setup of the pendrive... my bad | 11:16 |
| asdjaputra | just helping him burn xubuntu to usb | 11:16 |
| PythonSnake | does xubuntu have same compatibility as ubuntu ? | 11:16 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, yes | 11:16 |
| wildbat | susundberg: router will never have the ip as the modem is on the LAN side ~ | 11:16 |

| PythonSnake | ubottu is a bot ? | 11:17 |
| ubottu | PythonSnake: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:17 |

| asdjaputra | hroi, and its kept tradition to name 64-bit distros amd64 | 11:26 |
| dr_Willis | you adked why.. this is why | 11:26 |
| hroi | asdjaputra: first time I see that, used to be calle x86_64 | 11:26 |
| hroi | ohh well | 11:26 |
| dr_Willis | x86 is in kernel versiins info | 11:27 |
| asdjaputra | hroi, so that's compatible from i386 to amd64 | 11:27 |

| teetasse | PythonSnake: just put some of your movies on the external one, and install normal ubuntu | 11:30 |
| wildbat | Collin2: u re welcome | 11:30 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, so? | 11:30 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: | 11:31 |
| Collin2 | 1 problem | 11:31 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, psh, i like fluxbox better to be installed than Unity | 11:31 |
| ziniman | ikonia: I know, but.. *sigh* | 11:31 |
| Collin2 | ipv6 isnt working on either machine now | 11:31 |
| Collin2 | :( | 11:31 |
| ikonia | ziniman: maybe next time, adjust your attitude and you will get answers | 11:31 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: xubuntu or no ? | 11:31 |
| wildbat | Collin2: most router and/or isp don't support | 11:32 |
| ziniman | ikonia: the problem is that I have no time now | 11:32 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, fluxbuntu | 11:32 |
| ziniman | ikonia: so.. | 11:32 |
| qin | Kartagis: Did you think of changeing ssh port? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | ziniman: then you just need to explain that, rather than demanding answers "NOW" | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | wildbat: it was working before | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | it was native | 11:32 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: to be honest i am a bit bad at PythonSnake to waste my time ... i wish he installed unity... or windows vista | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | its probably the router | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | that doesnt support it | 11:32 |
| wildbat | Collin2: if your isp do / you need new router ~ | 11:32 |
| sammmy | how does ubuntu tweek actually tweek the os? | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | ye | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | its okay | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | ipv4 is fine | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | for now | 11:32 |
| FloodBot1 | Collin2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:32 |
| ziniman | ikonia: explain? explain why I need answer asap? | 11:32 |
| Collin2 | thank you. | 11:32 |
| ikonia | sammmy: it just changes config files and the gconf settings, I recommend you don't need it | 11:33 |
| ikonia | ziniman: dead easy "I'm looking for help, I'm short on time so a quick reply would be appricated how do I....." rather than I need help NOW ! | 11:33 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, i dont understand | 11:33 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: huh ? | 11:33 |
| PythonSnake | lol me too | 11:34 |
| viliny | what does ">" do in shell? | 11:34 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: is there any difference package repository wise between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server ? | 11:34 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: fluxbuntu is not well supportet either... he should go for xubuntu... fluxbox can be intalled later... i don't know how comfortable newbies with fluxbox are... maythings different (mostly better) from windows | 11:34 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, you feel bad for wasting your time answering PythonSnake ? | 11:34 |
| dr_Willis | sammmy: gconf settings for the most part | 11:34 |
| dr_Willis | hroi: no | 11:34 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, xfce vs fluxbox | 11:34 |
| viliny | im looking at my old line in crontab that outputs sysinfo to a file on my web server every 10 minutes but i can't understand it anymore :p | 11:34 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: I would like to use the server version, but worry that it uses less current packages. | 11:34 |
| PythonSnake | :( | 11:35 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, install xubuntu | 11:35 |
| dr_Willis | hroi: why use server. you want a gui? | 11:35 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra PythonSnake as i understand it, PythonSnake could easily free some GB and install ubuntu without troubles... but instead he keeps me/us busy with thinking about solution for a non existing problem | 11:35 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, if you don't like it (for being slow and stuff), you could replace it with fluxbox | 11:35 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, ah, ok dont be mad at him | 11:35 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: I want x window support and remote desktop support. | 11:35 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake asdjaputra or did i get something wrong? | 11:35 |
| bunty | hi all. | 11:36 |
| dr_Willis | hroi: use desktop then | 11:36 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, use openbox | 11:36 |
| bunty | I just updated my system and now I don't have the unity desktop. | 11:36 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, ok whatever size your HDD is free on, install crunchbang | 11:36 |
| asdjaputra | #! | 11:36 |
| PythonSnake | fluxbox openbox ubuntu xubuntu | 11:36 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: ok, however, this will be a multi-user "Server" type setup. | 11:36 |
| asdjaputra | it should be able to run on both less memory machine or 250 GB machine | 11:36 |
| PythonSnake | confusing | 11:36 |
| bunty | I get the message on login that my system doesnt have teh hardware to run unity | 11:37 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, pm me, teetasse is mad :p | 11:37 |
| dr_Willis | hroi: wont matter | 11:37 |
| bunty | ? I was just running it fine. | 11:37 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: :P just need some time to cool off... then i'm in again | 11:37 |
| asdjaputra | k | 11:37 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: ok, so no difference in how the kernel is configured to run... | 11:37 |
| PythonSnake | lol | 11:37 |
| dr_Willis | hroi some little things but probely nothing to worry about | 11:38 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: I have heard rumours that distros like Ubuntu, tweek the kernels | 11:38 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: is chrunchbang ubuntu based? | 11:38 |
| asdjaputra | teetasse, yes, but since version 10 its debian based | 11:38 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: lol | 11:39 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: cool... might ceck it out when i feel funny | 11:39 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: i would still recommend xubuntu to PythonSnake ... because xfce is minimal enough, and ubuntu offers the support... | 11:40 |
| teetasse | asdjaputra: i think our friend would be killed with rtfm-answers in the debian irc | 11:40 |
| hroi | dr_Willis: thanks! | 11:41 |
| dr_Willis | you could have installed ubuntu 5x time by now heh | 11:41 |
| asdjaputra | hahaha | 11:41 |
| asdjaputra | true | 11:41 |
| asdjaputra | debian channel is for advanced users i think | 11:41 |
| asdjaputra | beginners start with ubuntu | 11:41 |
| asdjaputra | and ends with debian | 11:41 |
| dr_Willis | then come back | 11:42 |
| teetasse | true | 11:42 |
| ntkm | hi | 11:42 |
| asdjaputra | hi | 11:42 |
| asdjaputra | hihihi | 11:42 |
| jkup | sup | 11:42 |
| teetasse | although i started my linux experinece with gentoo - baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea :P | 11:42 |
| dr_Willis | learning the fundamentals and distro wont matter much | 11:42 |
| sammmy | where's the gconf settings located? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | sammmy: in a gconf database, it's not a flat file | 11:44 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: so can you free up 5GB? you will need this space to install xubuntu. if you lake it and want to use it more often you still can resize the partitions later | 11:45 |
| teetasse | lake = like | 11:45 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: asdjaputra told me to get ubuntu | 11:46 |
| PythonSnake | lol | 11:46 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: ubuntu is good too | 11:46 |
| asdjaputra | 200GB > go for ubuntu | 11:46 |
| asdjaputra | but use 10.04 | 11:46 |
| * teetasse agrees with asdjaputra | 11:46 | |
| sammmy | ikonia: what do you mean? | 11:47 |
| PythonSnake | why not 11 ? | 11:47 |
| ikonia | sammmy: exactly what I've said | 11:47 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: look, stop asking these questions and try it - see if you like it, if you don't, you just change it | 11:47 |
| asdjaputra | PythonSnake, buggy | 11:47 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: you seem to be just asking the same question over and over again | 11:47 |
| asdjaputra | ikonia, easy there | 11:48 |
| ikonia | asdjaputra: it's fine, we are just covering the same over and over again, the advice has been given, try it - it's that simple | 11:48 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: 10.04 is a LTS version.. LongTermSupport that means, that they are more stable and better tested | 11:48 |
| jkup | do you have to declare intergers with $ | 11:48 |
| ikonia | jkup: in what respect ? | 11:48 |
| sammmy | ikonia: how do I access the gconf database? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | sammmy: you use the gconf2 tool | 11:49 |
| aman | I wanna get alert about CPU temp in natty | 11:49 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: also, you will not have that strange unity interface, which might be bestranging for windows-conversts | 11:49 |
| jkup | say i prompt the user "how old are you" | 11:49 |
| jkup | and i wanna print echo "oh so you are $(number they chose)" | 11:49 |
| aman | earlier i used ComputerTemp but its not available in Natty | 11:49 |
| ikonia | jkup: what language are you trying to write in ? | 11:49 |

| sammmy | ikonia, AKA Configuration Editor? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | sammmy: no idea | 11:50 |
| jkup | ikonia:Whats thats supposed to mean? ima newb haha jk x]]] thanks | 11:51 |
| sammmy | so is gconf like the windows' registry? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | jkup: it means $ is not an interger it's just any variable, you may also want to try the ##bash channel for bash help | 11:51 |
| dr_Willis | jkup: there are many bssh guides out there | 11:52 |
| dr_Willis | sammy similer in idea | 11:52 |

| johngilbrough | How do I edit the system crontab? If I do a "sudo crontab -e", I get "no crontab for root". | 11:59 |
| jrib | johngilbrough: why? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | johngilbrough: there is no default crontab for root | 11:59 |

| teetasse | Akkar1n: nope, sorry | 12:00 |
| jrib | !helpme | Akkar1n | 12:00 |
| ubottu | Akkar1n: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 12:00 |
| qin | Neat! | 12:00 |
| johngilbrough | The reason for editing it is to change a time. | 12:00 |
| ikonia | johngilbrough: a time ? | 12:00 |
| anon__ | dirtycookie, xrandr | 12:00 |
| johngilbrough | The time a process runs each day. | 12:00 |
| ikonia | johngilbrough: just do "sudo crontab -e" then and put a crontab in, there is no crontab for root, so you will make one | 12:00 |
| jrib | johngilbrough: what do you want to edit exactly? If you want to edit /etc/crontab, then just use a text editor | 12:00 |
| IanPM-W | I have an interesting problem. My 11.4 install won't see, or bring up my eth0. Although the driver is apparently present | 12:01 |

| Kartagis | technikfreak: clementine or rhyhtmbox | 12:02 |
| bullgard4 | What DEB program package contains the kernel documentation? | 12:02 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: I didn't think you where using lucid | 12:02 |
| teetasse | technikfreak: i think the one with the coolest features is amarok, but it's quite heavy. i'd say rhyhtmbox is waht you might like | 12:03 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: I believe the kernel source package contains the documentation, if by documentation you mean the README for that kernel | 12:03 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: I am using natty. I thought package pinning was done if you want to install an earlier version | 12:03 |
| technikfreak | ok cool thx | 12:03 |
| dr_Willis | if an earlier version is in the repos | 12:03 |
| johngilbrough | Is there anything to run after you've modified crontab? | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: you don't use packages from earlier versions, just an earlier package version within your current distro | 12:03 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: eg: and earlier natty package for you | 12:04 |
| ikonia | johngilbrough: no | 12:04 |

| BasisBit | how to downgrade from 11.04 with unity to an older one with gnome? | 12:05 |
| DJones | !classic | BasisBit | 12:06 |
| ubottu | BasisBit: 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". | 12:06 |
| ikonia | BasisBit: you can't downgrade, you need to re-install | 12:06 |
| gry | rajkosto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10530065&postcount=5 | 12:06 |

| rajkosto | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java instructions give me a 404 in apt-get update | 12:06 |
| misaq | does anyone know why my monitor is turning off | 12:06 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: in what section can I see openssh version on http://packages.ubuntu.com | 12:07 |
| * BasisBit doesn't like 11.04.. | 12:07 | |

| rajkosto | gry, the one that apt-add adds | 12:07 |
| rajkosto | both of them | 12:07 |
| rajkosto | the one you just gave with forums works | 12:07 |
| gry | BasisBit: Downgrade usually is not an option. You aither 1) customise or 2) choose another distro. Downgrade is eventually unsafe. | 12:07 |
| gry | BasisBit: (And the login screen has n option to do what you want, anyway) | 12:08 |
| gry | rajkosto: Pastebin please? | 12:08 |
| rajkosto | lost it now | 12:08 |
| rajkosto | so | 12:08 |
| DJones | BasisBit: You have seen that you can still use gnome 2 with 11.04 by selecting it at the login screen | 12:08 |
| rajkosto | if you follow the page tutorial you will get it | 12:08 |
| misaq | can it be due to Ubuntu? | 12:08 |
| BasisBit | gry: yes... I think I will go with option 2 (another distro) | 12:09 |
| misaq | when I turn on my computer, sometimes the monitor doesn't start | 12:09 |

| ikonia | Kartagis: what do you want to know ? | 12:11 |

| admngy2 | This person left suddenly and without cooperating much on the handout. They had been the CTO responsible for 100% of the code and sys admin. | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: you can't use lucid packages with natty | 12:11 |
| JelteL | xt3mp0r_ I think you should copy your /home folder to usb, install Ubuntu the normal way and then copy your files back to ubuntu? | 12:11 |
| dork | gry: the main toolbar in classic view, toggling transparency only makes the middle transparent and not the task manager or the drop down menus | 12:11 |
| JelteL | something like that | 12:11 |
| Kartagis | ikonia: so I have to luck but persuade netadmin to upgrade IDS? | 12:12 |
| xt3mp0r_ | JelteL: All my main data is in window drives, which get mounted on ubuntu. No other way then backup and restore? | 12:12 |

| IanPM-W | it seems complicated | 12:17 |
| gry | !gksu | IanPM-W | 12:17 |
| ubottu | IanPM-W: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use Ā« gksudo Ā», as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 12:17 |
| jrib | IanPM-W: what file? | 12:17 |
| IanPM-W | ah ha! | 12:18 |
| IanPM-W | thanks :) | 12:18 |
| gry | Sure. | 12:18 |
| IanPM-W | I'm looking into some /etc/network/interface stuff | 12:18 |
| IanPM-W | it's just simpler to do so through the GUI | 12:18 |
| elementz | hi all. my new and first hads SSD arrived today. Is there anything I should watch out for, when installing Natty? Filesystem/alignment/partitioning aso? I haven't found a good guide yet. Mabye some of you have some experience already? | 12:18 |
| jrib | IanPM-W: keep in mind interfaces are managed through network-manager by default nowadays | 12:18 |
| baremetal | gry, i am trying to install 2.6.39 as a deb package on LTS. Can not find 2.6.39 but I can find 2.6.38 | 12:18 |
| gry | baremetal: Then package it. :-) | 12:19 |
| movan2011 | IanPM-W why not press Alt+F2 and type "gksu nautilus <path>" where <path> points to the file you want to edit. Oh and don't add the quotes. | 12:19 |
| gry | baremetal: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ | 12:19 |
| ikonia | baremetal: why do you want that kernel ? | 12:19 |
| movan2011 | @IamPN-W: Sorry, meant gedit not nautilus. | 12:19 |
| IanPM-W | jrib, the problem I have, is that the network interfaces thing doesn't show up eth0 | 12:19 |
| IanPM-W | and I'm trying to troubleshoot i t | 12:19 |
| movan2011 | Seem to be obsessed with nautilus today. | 12:20 |
| IanPM-W | it was working, but seems to have stopped somehow | 12:20 |
| cloudyLights | hi | 12:20 |
| IanPM-W | I might have done something, but I really have no idea what | 12:20 |
| gry | hi cloudyLights | 12:20 |
| IanPM-W | so if anyone has bright ideas about how to get eth0 back | 12:20 |
| IanPM-W | I'd love to hear them | 12:20 |
| cloudyLights | I use 11.04 , when I insert a SD card I see this: | 12:20 |
| gry | hi beginer | 12:20 |
| cloudyLights | I get a window saying unable to mount 4.0 GB | 12:20 |
| beginer | gry, hello | 12:21 |
| cloudyLights | gvfs and xfce are installed and used | 12:21 |
| baremetal | gry, i want 2.6.39 because it has certain drivers i would like to have. among them which is unique to 2.6.39 is zd1211rw (Wireless drivers for zydas chipset usb adapter) whis supports AP mode | 12:21 |
| cloudyLights | how to let my user mount the SD via gvfs? | 12:21 |
| Kartagis | damn you netadmin! | 12:21 |
| baremetal | gry: have you seen http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/kernel-ppa ??? | 12:22 |
| cloudyLights | baremetal: I was looking for someone to tell me how good is the zd as a AP | 12:22 |
| ikonia | baremetal: zd1211rw has been in the kernel since 2.6.18 | 12:22 |
| cloudyLights | but AP is only recent | 12:22 |
| seravitae | hello i have a question about synaptic. it is kind of a programmign question though. I was wondering how when you go 'applying changes' in synaptic - it shows a terminal window inside the application. | 12:23 |
| baremetal | ikonia, zd1211rw has been in the kernel a long time but only 2.6.39 gives you zydas AP mode | 12:23 |
| seravitae | I want to write a program that has a terminal inside it - i have no idea how it is done. anyone have any ideas? | 12:23 |
| ikonia | baremetal: by AP mode, do you mean "master" mode ? | 12:23 |
| baremetal | YES | 12:24 |
| cloudyLights | right | 12:24 |
| jrib | seravitae: read the source code :D Probably look at libvte | 12:24 |
| sammmy | suspend for some reason don't keep my workspace. | 12:24 |
| ikonia | !info linux-kernel | 12:24 |
| ubottu | Package linux-kernel does not exist in natty | 12:24 |
| ikonia | oops | 12:24 |
| sammmy | Could this be because I've used wubi to install ubuntu? | 12:24 |

| ikonia | baremetal: that kernel isn't even in natty, so you're going to be on dubious stability ground as even the later ubuntu release isn't built around it. | 12:25 |
| baremetal | i do not use natty, it is buggy as hell and i like a lot of people hate unity | 12:25 |
| ikonia | baremetal: maybe worth contacting the PPA owner for some support | 12:25 |
| seravitae | jrib - cheers, libvte seems to be it. | 12:26 |
| hammoommah | hello poeples | 12:28 |

| hammoommah | any network specialists? | 12:28 |
| gry | hammoommah: Some. | 12:28 |
| gry | hammoommah: What's up? :-) | 12:29 |
| hammoommah | ok here goes........ | 12:29 |
| zamba | gry: well, i'm basically new to the whole iscsi/multipath thingy.. i have one lun on a san with two controllers with four ports each.. when doing multipath -ll i see 8 devices in total (/dev/sdb -> /dev/sdi).. where should i create my partitions? | 12:29 |
| zamba | gry: http://pastebin.com/Gdv35JWr <- here's the output | 12:30 |
| zamba | in /dev/mapper i have mpath0.. is this the device i should be partitioning? | 12:31 |
| hammoommah | i have imac plus about 6 other oldish boxes, im looking at setting up home network so me/my wife/my 5 kids can all share resourses plus add a ubuntu media centre. i was thinking of setting up unbuntu server with clients attached and join imac plus media centre to that......... if that makes sense | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | hammoommah, so.. you 'are making a home network' ..... | 12:32 |
| gry | zamba: That said, I'm nobody myself; all I did was get you ask this question in full in here, be assured that people in here may be able to respond soon. :-) | 12:32 |

| hammoommah | yep yep | 12:32 |
| kdbwnf | Hi. I've just installed firefox 5 and now I can't see the firefox icon in the unity when I'm running firefox. Any ideas to solve it? | 12:32 |
| gry | zamba: (Surely this should be a helpful channel overall!) | 12:32 |
| hammoommah | 2 in essence | 12:32 |
| hammoommah | one from server to clients and one to join server imac media centre | 12:33 |
| dr_willis | I dont get why they both cant be the same network | 12:33 |
| hammoommah | thats why im here | 12:34 |

| dr_willis | hroi, ext2 proberly wouldent be any issues either.... | 12:40 |
| teetasse | asdfasdfa: so how are things going on with PythonSnake | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | hroi, but thats going a bit far. :) | 12:40 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: go debian | 12:40 |
| PythonSnake | :D | 12:40 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: pure debian or chrunchbang? | 12:41 |
| dr_willis | I think i could of had Ubuntu installed to 30 machines since this discussion was started with PythonSnake .... :) | 12:41 |
| ikonia | guys - we don't care about non-ubuntu distro dicussion/help in here | 12:41 |
| PythonSnake | teetasse: pure | 12:42 |
| asdjaputra | what was the discussion about? | 12:42 |
| gulzar | ikonia: nice........somebody is there who respects knowledge | 12:42 |
| hroi | dr_willis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 mentions that I may not be able to nfsmount ext4 on older distros. | 12:42 |
| ikonia | gulzar: no, the channels policy is that this channel is for ubuntu support dicussion only - so I respect the topic | 12:42 |
| hroi | dr_willis: Ive got no need for exabyte size disks, so ext3 is safe | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | hroi, and how old is old? Ive never seen anyone mention the issue. | 12:43 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: so install allready finished? asdfasdfa | 12:43 |
| asdjaputra | asdfasdfa, lol | 12:43 |

| asdjaputra | Debian is a yes go here | 12:43 |
| teetasse | PythonSnake: downloading? | 12:43 |
| hroi | dr_willis: I mean, if we have distros that dont come with ext4, 2+ years old, | 12:43 |
| Murdy | How are you? | 12:43 |
| asdjaputra | Murdy, fine, question please. | 12:43 |
| gulzar | ikonia: a long disscussionis surely bad | 12:43 |
| ikonia | gulzar: it's a discussion that's been going on for a long time, hence why I'm asking it to stop | 12:43 |
| hroi | dr_willis: then those systems wont completely support nfsmount from this system | 12:43 |
| gry | Murdy: good, thanks | 12:44 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: are you installing ubuntu, yes/no ? | 12:44 |
| Murdy | Is it obligatory to ask questions? | 12:44 |
| asdjaputra | Murdy, lol no | 12:44 |
| gulzar | go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:44 |
| PythonSnake | ikonia: no | 12:44 |
| dr_willis | hroi, only thing ive ever had issues with when using ext4 was my old 'nas' thats linux based only supported ext3 :) or some old live cd's but are you really going to be using such old stuff? | 12:44 |
| gry | Murdy: in this channel generally yes, otherwise try ther -offtopic channel please | 12:44 |

| asdjaputra | ikonia, lol but he's not even done yey | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | hammoommah, chat in the channel.. You havent really stated what your actual issue is. If its complex. you may want to put the info on a pastebin site. | 12:46 |
| asdjaputra | yet* | 12:46 |

| compdoc | herrgabriel, that is possible. suggestions were on the mailing list recently | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | herrgabriel, its doable - but can take some work. theres a thread on the topic at the askubuntu.com site i saw just the other day | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | herrgabriel, if its a small setup. you can 'dd' to a file then dd it to the other machines hd's and then resize the filesystmes. and fix the hostname and other bits.. | 12:48 |

| herrgabriel | dr_willis, i was thinking about dd'ing as well, but i figured a nice installer would be better | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | herrgabriel, i did a dd method last week - installed to a 8gb flash drive. tweaked it a little.. then dd'd it to a exernal usb hd. worked better then i thought it would. :) | 12:50 |
| compdoc | herrgabriel, if you were to google your question, you should find the mailing lists archives | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | herrgabriel, check askubuntu.com site also. i know they got a question on the topic | 12:50 |
| herrgabriel | compdoc, kk | 12:50 |

| dr_willis | yea - im not sure the cups.org site mentions canon. but it might have some info also. | 12:55 |
| dr_willis | I learned to not buy canon any more if i want decent linux support. | 12:55 |

| Guest47992 | dr_willis, i dont want it to take my whole Desktop-Background | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | there are some autiomated wallpaper changers that might allready do that. but i never use them any more.. played with some about 2 yrs ago | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | Guest47992, there are 'gadgets/gizmos/widigits' you can use on yoru desktop. | 12:58 |

| dr_willis | sammmy, im not sure its possible.. it may need a actual swap partition. | 13:03 |

| dr_willis | sammmy, they alwasy seem to be changeing the names... I can never which one is 'to ram' and what one is 'to hard drive' | 13:05 |
| Guest47992 | gry, i only want to follow a Webcam which updates every so often | 13:05 |
| hammoommah | hmmm good idea, can you tell me when using server/virtual client setup is any computing done client side or is it all done on server? is video processing done server side or client side? | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | hammoommah, i imagine it depedns on the server/client setup. | 13:06 |
| Guest47992 | gry, and i want that picture to be refreshed automatically without opening it every time | 13:06 |
| gry | Guest47992: it'd be an image in front of the desktop icons, then? (not exactly a wallpaper, is that correct?) | 13:06 |

| dr_willis | admgy22, you ONLY need sudo to do 'system wide/config type tasks' | 13:08 |

| rhin01 | just as a matter of interest -- compiz fusion -- one of those things that it is assumed everyone wants -- so it's turned on -- it has caused my system major problems all over the place -- system hanging -- virtual desktops don't work -- x2x failing - slow -- I turned it off and I didn't notice anything apart from my system running ok again -- what the hell is compiz fusion? | 13:15 |
| admgy22 | by the way does "20110104.123925.590510058.3696" look like a directory produced by versioning to you? | 13:16 |

| sammmy | so even though ram has nothing to do with the hard drive, there's no way to suspend to ram with a wubi install? | 13:16 |
| rhin01 | all that for a bit of eye candy | 13:16 |
| dr_willis | admgy22, ithere may be a Git speficic channel | 13:16 |
| rhin01 | can anyone hear me in here? | 13:16 |
| Dragon[ITA] | hmm | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | rhin01, Hmm? | 13:17 |
| rhin01 | ok thanks just thought was in a mode or set with a mode thanks dr_willis | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | compiz is on by default - its used by unity.. rhin01 | 13:17 |
| rhin01 | dr_willis it's caused my system to lock several times | 13:17 |
| compdoc | I hear about Compiz a lot in here, bu6t never knew what it was before now | 13:17 |
| rhin01 | its caused problems iwth remote desktops with x2x -- | 13:17 |
| admgy22 | dr_willis: thanks I'm trying #git | 13:17 |
| dr_willis | rhin01, it can depend ion your video chiopset also | 13:17 |
| rhin01 | ok | 13:17 |
| rhin01 | i've wasted a day because this thing called compiz which doesn't actually do anything is installed by default | 13:18 |
| compdoc | Compiz is a compositing manager, which means that it enhances the overall user interaction by adding fancy effects to your windows, from drop shadows to awesome desktop effects like the Desktop Cube or the Expo view. <- doesnt sound useful | 13:19 |
| rhin01 | I know this -- but it also is a resource hog -- it will kill and even hang up low level gpus | 13:19 |
| dr_willis | rhin01, it is used by default by unity. so it does do somthing.. its the default window manager for UNITY | 13:19 |
| rhin01 | I never noticed any effects | 13:19 |
| Dragon[ITA] | o.o | 13:20 |
| rhin01 | all I noticed was teh PAIN of my system hanging and random things to do with graphics going wrong | 13:20 |
| rhin01 | compiz fusion introduced the only problems I have ever had with ubuntu (major) | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | the next release i hear compuiz will be used by unity-2d and work for other non-3d acell setuos | 13:20 |
| dr_willis | rhin01, and whats your video chipset? | 13:21 |
| rhin01 | not sure | 13:21 |
| rhin01 | how do I find that out -- tell me and I will get back to you | 13:21 |
| ntkm | i am using ubuntu 10.04.can i use unity on it? | 13:21 |
| dr_willis | so you have no idea if you have installed the proper 3d drivers.. that would greatly enhance your unity/compiz experience. :) | 13:21 |

| Bartzy|work | Where "scp -t" flag (and the rest of the "remote side" flags) is documented ? I'm not seeing it in 'man scp'. | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | Bartzy|work, scp is supposed to work virtually identical to the way cp works.. it might be the same as what the cp -t flag does.. (whatever that is...) | 13:26 |
| Bartzy|work | dr_willis: I don't think so :| | 13:27 |
| rhin01 | ok -- how can I be completely sure compiz fusion is disabled in 11.04 -- the "visual effects" tab in system->appearance is no longer there -- people saying elsewhere that selecting "classic desktop (no effects)" only disables the unity desktop -- it doesn't disable compiz fusion - I want it gone | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | thats what i recall from the scp guides ive read in the past at least. :) | 13:27 |

| dr_willis | podzinja, top panel - is very very locked down. | 13:32 |
| podzinja | so no more tomboy notes and other stuff on top panel.. | 13:32 |
| podzinja | why? | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | podzinja, you can get differnt indicator applets that go in the top panel. | 13:32 |

| drose | I'm a gentoo guy with a HP netbook that won't boot *ubuntu* | 14:00 |
| dipankar | dr_willis, I agree with that. But LDAP needs a session to be started. I was thinking of modifying the login, so that authentication can be verified at the startup itself. | 14:00 |
| drose | which means I dunno what to do :) | 14:00 |

| Ntemis | how i remedy this issue? | 15:05 |
| Ntemis | jrib: without any issues | 15:05 |

| virgo | Nvidia | 15:08 |
| Ang3 | o/ | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | virgo: and which driver is it? | 15:08 |
| amalgama | ActionParsnip, netsurf3 : i see in synaptic that gnome 3 is installed. pfff.. do u think an uninstall of gnome 3 would be ok, or would it lead to more problems?? | 15:08 |

| Ang3 | i'm trying to setup a OpenVPN on my Ubuntu Serv. I got some issue it won't start. Any ideas ? | 15:08 |
| ohir | donkeyinspace: so follow grub4dos path or check if your box can have bios ubgraded | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | amalgama: it will need removing as well as the PPA, then you will need to manually reinstall all the gnome 2 stuff, very messy | 15:08 |

| Ntemis | how i fix this? | 15:09 |
| drose | ah this is a waste of time | 15:09 |

| Ntemis | apt-get purge firefox? | 15:09 |
| Ntemis | yes :( | 15:09 |
| ohir | donkeyinspace: most modern bioses can boot pen as usb-hdd (selected usually in [boot options] menu of bios) | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: uninstall xorg and the rest will be autoremoved. You will then boot to a CLI system | 15:09 |
| drose | I can't fix this guy's netbook | 15:09 |
| Pici | Ntemis: Yes, apt-get purge firefox | 15:09 |
| craigbass1976 | ActionParsnip: thanks. That's what Im booting to now anyway. :) | 15:10 |
| amalgama | ActionParsnip: plus to that, i am running a wubi installation... | 15:10 |
| netsurf3 | hmmm amalgama you should be able to find out what you installed by looking in the /var/log/dpkg.log | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | amalgama: thats fine, its still not stable. I'd just reinstall then restore user data from backup. Then stay away from gnome3 | 15:10 |
| ohir | donkeyinspace: I really can not help you more, as I haven't cope with box that cannot boot pen for very long time | 15:10 |

| ActionParsnip | craigbass1976: yeah: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 15:13 |

| dr_Willis_ | Grav: good idea of ay least ram id you want to suspend | 15:42 |
| sipior | Grav: generally, for optimum memory usage, you'll want a swap partition roughly equal in size to the amount of installed ram. | 15:43 |

| louis_ | Hi, anyone experienced this bug? : when I login to unity gives me the side dock if I go to the yop bar there is basic menu. ie. places... help. but if I start an app lets say terminal then after i close terminal the name of the app stays in top bar. always and any app. | 15:51 |
| sipior | Grav: linux can manage memory just fine, but it will kill processes to satisfy memory needs. memory is generally not "cleared" in modern operating systems, simply replaced by new cached material. adding a swap file is pretty easy, though, and will give your system quite a bit more room to maneuver. | 15:51 |
| DamnSoGooD | Grav: you must make a swap partition because it also serves as RAM between mounted volumes | 15:51 |

| lolicon | BluesKaj: I'm planning to buy a E520 and I want to know about the compatible problems. especially the switchable graphics cards feature. | 15:55 |
| InfiniteSet | I was just wondering but is LibreOffice compatiable with Microsoft Word? | 15:55 |
| dr_Willis_ | swithcable gfx cards are nit well supported yet | 15:56 |
| tarzeau | InfiniteSet: more or less, yes | 15:56 |
| Grav | Ok i will try to make a swap file. I was just wondering I have never run out of memory on windows, having many process in background, or playing games. And ubuntu can crash when i have firefox opened few hours and try to open another process. Don't know why it's happening on ubuntu. | 15:56 |
| tarzeau | InfiniteSet: the problems are not exact same rendering, if you miss fonts you miss them.. | 15:56 |
| louis_ | an other problem... I use ubuntu classic theme because the unity gives troubles. but in classic i resize a window and at the top left corner a black square appears. and grows as i resize. and covers the top bar. | 15:56 |
| RedRobot | InfiniteSet: mostly | 15:57 |
| InfiniteSet | tarzeau, RedRobot: Mostly? What things are not compatiable with it? | 15:57 |
| RedRobot | yep | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | lolicon, there is a solution , but it involves using the performance setting for most effects , you may not like it . That's all I know about it | 15:57 |
| tarzeau | InfiniteSet: rendering can be a problem, you don't have wordart | 15:57 |
| tarzeau | InfiniteSet: many small things like that. | 15:57 |
| RedRobot | eg some of the drm/security crud, and embedded activex and other horrible things | 15:58 |
| RedRobot | mostly things you don't want to use anyway | 15:58 |
| tarzeau | RedRobot: ms word and the other products from office are horrible | 15:58 |
| RedRobot | indeed | 15:58 |

| lolicon | BluesKaj: what about AMD ? | 15:59 |
| vooze | I'm setting up, ubuntu server, should i use LVM (i have 3 x 2TB HD's) ? | 15:59 |
| dr_Willis_ | !lvm | 16:00 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 16:00 |
| dr_Willis_ | i find it more hassle then its worth lvm | 16:00 |
| BluesKaj | lolicon, it has to do with the graphics gpus on the laptop more than the cpu | 16:01 |
| dr_Willis_ | but yoir needa mau differ | 16:01 |
| RedRobot | vooze: remember that a default lvm2 setup is like raid0, lose a disk and _all_ the data is gone | 16:01 |
| vooze | okay dr_willis its just a NAS server, so i guess without is fine | 16:01 |
| RedRobot | vooze: I would suggest an extra disk and software raid6 | 16:01 |
| RedRobot | asuming performance is not critical | 16:02 |
| craigbass1976 | ok, wits end... I removed all traces of X, reinstalled thatand GNOME, and still land at a text login. /var/log/Xorg.0.log says, among other things, no screens found. It also says (I think this is particularly funny) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information... | 16:02 |
| vooze | RedRobot: if i buy one more disk, and setup RAID6, how much data will i have then? | 16:02 |
| dr_Willis_ | craigbass1976: video card is? | 16:03 |
| craigbass1976 | dr_willis nvidia Ibelieve | 16:03 |
| craigbass1976 | dr_willis things worked until an update yesterday | 16:03 |
| RedRobot | vooze: 4tb | 16:04 |
| RedRobot | vooze: raid6 is n-2, raid5 is n-1 | 16:04 |
| virgo | is it possible to increase sound volume more than 100%? i think i have looked everywhere and there is 100% but still not strong enough | 16:04 |
| lolicon | BluesKaj: it's acceptable to switch graphics cards in the bios. but the integated card can't be disabled in E520. Will it be any problem? | 16:05 |
| RedRobot | but with raid5, it is not unlikely to get data corruption or a disk loss while you are rebuilding from a single disc failure | 16:05 |
| RedRobot | it can literally take days to rebuild a large raid5 array | 16:05 |
| RedRobot | virgo: some apps allows you to do it, eg using softvol in mplayer | 16:05 |
| dr_Willis_ | virgo: vlc can | 16:06 |
| z3ro | @BluesKaj : can you help me ask my question | 16:06 |

| dr_Willis_ | vid out options n vlc | 16:07 |
| lolicon | BluesKaj: E520 uses a strange policy on switchable graphics cards. that' s why i ask who are using it. | 16:07 |
| craigbass1976 | dr_willis everything I'm finding on setting up nvidia and so forth explains how to do it from the GUI. | 16:09 |
| szal | craigbass1976: setting up nVidia from the terminal is a no-brainer -> sudo apt-get install $nvidia [replace w/ actual pkg name; don't want to look that up now ;)], sudo nvidia-xconfig, reboot | 16:10 |

If I open rythmbox, and try to play a song, the song stays in 0:00 and does not move on. The sound was working good minutes ago.

| fission6 | (i havent played or used my cd drive in ages) | 17:58 |
| DarkSector | Pici: I have two packages 1. python-elementtree and python-celementtree _both_ are stuck | 17:58 |
| jjovereats | Fission6, you are doing everything right so far. | 17:58 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, nothing has happened | 17:58 |
| DarkSector | Pici: dpkg: warning: files list file for package `python-elementtree' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. | 17:58 |

| fission6 | i put the cd in and was hoping for an app to open | 17:59 |

| fission6 | DarkSector, what does elementree do? | 17:59 |
| DarkSector | fission6: its a part of pyogre installation | 17:59 |

| fission6 | sudo apt-get install Torem jjovereats ? | 18:00 |
| jjovereats | totem. If you're in Xfce, or Kde, you go sudo aptitude install totem. | 18:00 |
| fission6 | lets see | 18:00 |
| DarkSector | Pici: now, since its stuck, I'll have to kill dpkg process and remove lock, is that a safe way to do it. It doesn't entertain keyboard interrupts anymore | 18:01 |

| fission6 | something maybe just messy with the build i have cause my computer, since upgrading chrome, just has little memory and is very glitchy then again i have 1 gig of mem | 18:03 |
| DarkSector | Pici: gotcha | 18:03 |

| shafire | how can i check, if i have the server or desktop version? | 18:05 |

| DarkSector | Pici: --force-remove-reinstreq is that a valid option ? | 18:06 |
| gohdan | dean: correct | 18:07 |
| footfetish | Pici: I added I copied and pasted it from the link given. | 18:07 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, yeah i feel i have something just chewing memory, can you recommend a few things to check - i feel i can streamline my machine a bit more to run snappier i just dont know where to start | 18:07 |
| footfetish | https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 18:07 |
| footfetish | Then I did an sudo apt-get update | 18:07 |
| jjovereats | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , f6. | 18:07 |
| Pici | footfetish: You should use 'sudo add-apt-repository' instead, that will automatically add the keys and the source to your sources. | 18:07 |
| dean | gohdan, I installed that straight away lol | 18:07 |
| footfetish | Pici: Now what? | 18:08 |
| fission6 | what will that do, i think i am actually using xubuntu-desktop | 18:08 |
| Pici | footfetish: you can use 'sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> ' now though, use the key on the PPA url. | 18:08 |
| Pici | DarkSector: It should be, is it not working? | 18:08 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, xubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. | 18:08 |
| fission6 | i think its tailoring things not sure where to start | 18:08 |
| DarkSector | Pici: need an action option | 18:09 |
| arooni-mobile | E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras ... how do i fix. i have uncommeted all the deb listings in /etc/apt/source.list | 18:09 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, htop shows 880 M / 1000M being taken when running chrome, 5 terminal tabs, and xchat | 18:09 |
| chaddy | arooni-mobile: try aptitude update | 18:09 |
| gohdan | dean: what were the errors you got? | 18:09 |
| Pici | DarkSector: You need to that along with the remove that you were using before: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq packagename | 18:10 |
| footfetish | Pici: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1024R/CE49EC21 this does not work | 18:10 |
| jjovereats | f6, HUUUUHH? Try FF3. I have 1.7GiB of mem in my laptop, after deducting video RAM! | 18:10 |

| AlexandrosGR | hello | 18:10 |
| fission6 | what do you mean? i just feel my machine should be running smoother and that something is less than ideal in terms of config | 18:10 |
| fission6 | but i dont know where to start my review | 18:10 |
| jjovereats | Run Computer Janitor. It may help. | 18:11 |
| AlexandrosGR | is any program that allow me to set up myself the gpu fans ? | 18:11 |
| footfetish | Pici: That seems to have worked. Thx a lot! | 18:11 |
| dean | gohdan, On dvd95 it just shows conversion error and on k9copy it shows Executable k9copy PID 11564 signal 11 (segmentation fault) | 18:11 |
| gohdan | AlexandrosGR: 'sensors' | 18:11 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, any other fundemental thingas i can check? | 18:11 |
| DarkSector | Pici: okay now I think both are gone, but how do I check the integrity of dpkg, I mean how do I know, I didn't wreck it. Should I try and install something? | 18:11 |
| Pici | DarkSector: Sure, go ahead. | 18:11 |
| AlexandrosGR | no that | 18:11 |
| AlexandrosGR | i want to increase gpu fans | 18:11 |
| jjovereats | fission6, Run System Monitor, the GNOME one, and go to Processes. If there is a drop-down tree, press Ctrl-D. Now click Memory, and see what's at the top. That will advise you about the smartest app decisions. | 18:12 |
| arooni-mobile | BluesKaj, chaddy i did aptitude upgrade; and ran update; still cant install | 18:12 |
| gohdan | AlexandrosGR: sorry. misread | 18:12 |

| === toshi is now known as kuroy | ||
| fission6 | lubuntu hmmm ill try and see if experience is better | 18:16 |
| jjovereats | misaq - the file may or may not become working. | 18:16 |
| fission6 | can i use chrome, totem, etc. | 18:16 |
| jjovereats | fission6 - Chrome is no good IMO. | 18:16 |
| fission6 | why so | 18:16 |
| junixbr | I change my keyboard and now I have 2 layouts... I've tryed to remove Brazilian Layout, but after rebooting, it comes again... | 18:16 |
| das__ | I like Chrome | 18:16 |
| fission6 | and what do you use | 18:16 |
| junixbr | the question is, how can I remove for ever a keyboard layout | 18:16 |
| junixbr | ? | 18:16 |
| jjovereats | Chrome is silly because it has no gopher support. I use FF4 with OverbiteFF. | 18:16 |
| misaq | jjovereats: is it better to delete the file and download again? | 18:16 |
| jjovereats | Yes. | 18:17 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, "lubuntu-desktop: Depends: wicd but it is not going to be installed" | 18:17 |
| jjovereats | sudo apt-get install lxde | 18:17 |
| misaq | jjovereats: you mean the file has been overwritten? | 18:17 |
| jjovereats | misaq - Maybe not. | 18:17 |
| fission6 | ok doing | 18:17 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, what irc client do you use? | 18:17 |
| jjovereats | XChat. | 18:17 |
| das__ | Xchat | 18:18 |
| fission6 | damn ok thats what i am using, i just dont understand why my machine aint faster, grr, i have to choose whether to run xchat or gedit at times | 18:18 |
| kuroy | @junixbr: I used to have the same problem when I used Brazilian Portuguese Layout and tried to change to English. | 18:18 |
| kuroy | Then I changed the layout to Dvorak English and it worked smoothly | 18:18 |
| junixbr | kuroy, my wish is remove the brazilian layout | 18:18 |
| kuroy | Yes, I see. | 18:19 |
| junixbr | yes is working, but each reboot it comes again | 18:19 |
| Raptors | how do you see the list of partitions? | 18:19 |
| kuroy | I had the same problem, it kept coming back | 18:19 |
| jjovereats | sudo fdisk -l | 18:19 |
| junixbr | kuroy, so bored this.. =( | 18:19 |
| fission6 | jjovereats, after lxde what should i do? | 18:19 |
| kuroy | until I used Dvorak English, but it was some time ago and I don't know if it works maintaning Qwerty layout | 18:20 |
| jjovereats | fission6, are you in LXDE yet, or are you not going to go that route? :: You should also install Firefox. or Midori. Both work. | 18:20 |
| kuroy | maybe some problem with portuguese layout | 18:20 |
| jjovereats | etaolin shdrlu | 18:20 |
| junixbr | maybe | 18:20 |

| rypervenche | ry: Yes, it is possible. I have yet to do it on my system, I have LVM on LUKS, but there are guides ou there to resizing your partitions using LVM. Check google a bit. | 18:41 |

| ry | yeah, my question is... if i resize swap simply through LVM and thats -all- i do, will it break anything? | 18:42 |
| kingofswords | any 1 know a good megavideo bypass for ubuntu? | 18:42 |

| ry | awesome =) | 18:42 |
| OerHeks | kingofswords, what do you mean with 'megavideo bypass ' ? | 18:42 |
| ry | i have 8gb ram in this laptop, but barely 2gb swap... when the system runs out of mem, gnome shits itself and takes everything down with it | 18:43 |

| biami | chaddy, no main menu in unity... you need to log in to Ubuntu Classic (GNOME 2.6) to use the menu | 18:53 |
| biami | i think | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | biami, theres some inticator applets taht let you get a gnome-menu in unity :) | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | and theres that cardiro application also | 18:54 |
| jo-erlend_live | biami, you can run gnome-panel with all its applets together with Unity. | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | puts one in the panel :) | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | gnome-panel over unity - is a little messy | 18:54 |
| chaddy | biami: all I need is the name of the app, got as far as alacarte, the editor | 18:54 |
| biami | how? | 18:54 |
| dr_willis | biami, how to what part? :) | 18:55 |
| jo-erlend_live | biami, just run gnome-panel as a normal application. | 18:55 |
| jo-erlend_live | you can add it to startup applications if you want it to always start when you login. But you should remove the upper panel first, since Unity panel will take precedence. | 18:55 |
| biami | ok | 18:56 |
| biami | thanks | 18:56 |

| misaq | llutz, it works! thanks | 19:44 |
| zleslie | I am having trouble getting my natty vm to boot after a fresh install. I am using the same pxe procedure that I used on maverick, but for some reason I never see a grub prompt or anything, just a blinking cursor and a failure to boot | 19:44 |
| zleslie | Anyone know what might be going wrong | 19:45 |
| wn1zid | heh, guess everybody is on vacation. | 19:45 |
| rooly | i can't seem to find any mention of this anywhere, so i'll ask before posting a bug report | 19:46 |
| v0lksman | zleslie, check your ACPI settings or boot the image with noacpi | 19:46 |
| rooly | does anyone else have trouble with indicator applets, they simply fail to open the menu when clicked on | 19:46 |
| rooly | i have to click on one at the far right and then scroll across each one to get to the applet i want | 19:46 |
| Thraspic | I'm having trouble finding a lightweight battery monitor for the system tray, and it must have customizable icons to indicate percent life remaining. I ussed to use Battmon but something is up wth it, Any suggestions? | 19:46 |
| misaq | llutz, yes i read | 19:47 |
| gohdan | claviusmond: there is an addon called 'downthemall' it may offer the functionality you are looking for more easily | 19:47 |
| PythonSnake | hi | 19:48 |
| gohdan | claviusmond: in any event, the cache is stored in your ~/.mozilla directory | 19:48 |
| PythonSnake | I wanna dual boot ubuntu and windows 7 | 19:48 |
| Mandrew | how do i run nvidia-xconfig as sudo in the cli? | 19:48 |
| TTilus | how do i force re-requesting ip from dhcp server even if the lease time is not over yet | 19:48 |
| PythonSnake | have some problems with partition... | 19:48 |
| RobinJ | is the Ubuntu font family (more specifically: Ubuntu-R.ttf) free to redistribute and use? | 19:48 |
| GhostWolf | hi all, does anyone know how i can install firefox 4 or 4.1? i found the tar file but it just has the firefox folder and doesn't install firefox. and when i did it in terminal it tells me it can't find the package | 19:48 |
| PythonSnake | how much space ubuntu need ? | 19:48 |
| === ceed^ is now known as ceed^`away | ||
| RobinJ | i'd like to use it for my website, and upload it on the server for that | 19:48 |
| TTilus | disconnect reconnect net doesnt seem to do that | 19:48 |
| llutz | TTilus: sudo dhclient3 ethX | 19:48 |
| v0lksman | GhostWolf, don't...install FF5...FF4 is dead. | 19:48 |
| GhostWolf | v0lksman, i can't use ff5. i need to use a toolbar that is not compatible with ff5 | 19:49 |
| TTilus | llutz: just plain run dhclient? | 19:49 |
| * TTilus feels stupid right now | 19:49 | |
| TTilus | =D | 19:49 |
| llutz | TTilus: should send a dhcp-req | 19:49 |
| GermainAdrian | RedRobot: can any of them be mounted in reverse? in essense i want to suspend the monitor, instead of propping it up with the arm | 19:50 |
| misaq | what is the difference between xterm and gnome-terminal? | 19:50 |
| gohdan | claviusmond: alternatively, the repetitive task of pushing ^S , ^enter and ^W multiple times works too | 19:51 |
| trism | RobinJ: http://font.ubuntu.com/ufl/ubuntu-font-licence-1.0.txt, the short answer would appear to be yes, but you should probably read it first | 19:51 |
| RobinJ | misaq: the user interface | 19:51 |
| RedRobot | GermainAdrian: all mines are for flat screens, so just a vesa fixture at the end | 19:51 |
| reyes | hi | 19:51 |
| RobinJ | thanks trism | 19:51 |
| GhostWolf | dodes anyone know how to install a previous version of firefox? i can't use the newer one since i need a toolbar that isn't compatible with firefox 5 | 19:51 |
| RedRobot | could easily add a plate to have the monitor hang from it | 19:51 |
| evilbug | misaq: gnome-terminal is more customizable, supports tabs, etc. but they're still a cmd line. | 19:51 |
| GermainAdrian | RedRobot: mine is a flat screen as well. but i want a movable arm, so that i can adjust it, not just hang from it | 19:51 |
| RedRobot | the ones I have are moveable | 19:52 |
| TTilus | llutz: worked | 19:52 |
| reyes | any person have this problem with an integrated Intel graphic http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/pantallazouxg.png/ ? The computers is slowly for some minutes and then the screen shows broken. | 19:52 |
| TTilus | llutz: thanks a bunch | 19:52 |
| neonofneophyte | does anyone know where, in the compiz source, the defualt settings file is? | 19:52 |
| llutz | TTilus: things can be so easy :) | 19:52 |
| wn1zid | does anyone know why ubuntu keeps rebooting ? | 19:52 |
| pappa_bear | GhostWolf, did you try sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0 | 19:52 |
| RedRobot | most of them have two joints and either a fixed or ball fixture at the end | 19:52 |
| TTilus | llutz: with network damager onboard thats not exactly what im used to expecting =D | 19:52 |
| RedRobot | ff5 is out | 19:53 |
| RedRobot | GhostWolf: ^ | 19:53 |
| RA_drc | what happened to open office? what is libre office? | 19:53 |
| claviusmond | gohdan, I am downloading an addon, multiple tabs | 19:53 |
| RedRobot | RA_drc: oracle was being morons, so a load of the openoffice devs decided to fork | 19:53 |
| Artlav | Hello, is there Ubuntu for MIPS, specificaly Lemote laptops? I can google a lot of talk but no builds. | 19:54 |
| RedRobot | RA_drc: some of the story behind it: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/LibreOffice-A-fresh-page-for-OpenOffice-1097358.html | 19:54 |
| GhostWolf | pappa_bear, well i didn't type it like that but let me try that | 19:55 |
| === ceed^`away is now known as ceed^ | ||
| GhostWolf | pappa_bear, i just did that and it tells me can't find any package by regex 'firefox-4.0' | 19:55 |
| pappa_bear | hmm | 19:55 |
| GhostWolf | had same response when i did it with firefox4.0 | 19:55 |
| D-F3NS | am i fine when i want to backup my ./home/user when i use "rsync -avx --progress /home/user/ /mnt/tmp" make a new account, copy this backup to it, delete my old acc and make a new acc with the old username? | 19:56 |
| pappa_bear | GhostWolf, i'm looking at http://crenk.com/how-to-install-firefox-4-on-ubuntu | 19:56 |
| GhostWolf | pappa_bear, i have the tar.bz2 file | 19:56 |
| GhostWolf | so if theres a way to install that way i can but if not | 19:56 |
| llutz | D-F3NS: should do, just make sure to add the new user to admin-group if you need sudo-access. | 19:57 |
| GhostWolf | pappa_bear,i can't view any links i have no browser installed atm | 19:57 |
| trism | RobinJ: oh, you may also be interested in this: http://font.ubuntu.com/web/ | 19:57 |
| RedRobot | GermainAdrian: I have a few that is somewhat similar to http://www.argosyconsole.com/images/argosy_monitorarms/gallery_7500_05_lg.jpg, just a slightly different design, and that they have wall mounts instead of table mounts | 19:57 |
| RobinJ | You can now use the Ubuntu Font Family as a webfont via the CSS @font-face mechanism, << thats what i was planning to do :p | 19:58 |
| RedRobot | GhostWolf: somewhat different first part, so it can go 75Ā° up and down, instead of much more up than downwards | 19:58 |
| jjovereats | ok | 19:58 |
| winut | use firefox next ppa | 19:58 |

| jack_ | Does ubuntu use upstart? | 20:03 |
| DynamicFail | anyway to view the contents of a file live other than tail -f ... tail -f won't work if the file is completly rewritten | 20:03 |
| llutz | jack_: it does | 20:03 |
| winut | you must have been on topic, thats why!! lol | 20:03 |
| jack_ | Is there a way to make services restart if they die with upstart? | 20:03 |
| viii | i have nvidia drivers installed but GLX still fails to work? im on 11.04 natty | 20:04 |
| lucidguy | Installed video drivers from Nvidia (disabled Nouveau etc..) .. noticed a number of my systems when launching nvidia-settings, the system reads GeForce310 for GPU info.. yet its a Quadro5000, any ideas? | 20:04 |
| winut | ubuntu forums are stuffed full of ex army sergeants, very strict | 20:04 |
| llutz | DynamicFail: have you tried "tailf"? not sure if that would work, but maybe worth to try | 20:05 |
| pappa_bear | Anyone know how to add something to a pannel in Unity? | 20:05 |
| winut | lucid, it might just be a device id mixup | 20:05 |
| jack_ | From the upstart page: Services may be respawned if they die unexpectedly. how do you get this functionality with the servicesS? | 20:05 |
| RedRobot | viii: fails to work how? | 20:05 |
| ceed^ | I've installed Natty on a laptop with Intel graphics. The problem is that every time I boot resolution is the to 1024x768 instead of 1280x800. I have to use the Control panel resolution settings every time. Doesn't help to set "Make default" either. Ideas? | 20:05 |
| winut | maybe the same series of gpu chip is in the quadro 5000 | 20:06 |
| beetlejooz | I'm having a routing issue on my ubuntu server. For no reason that I can figure out, I can't ping past the default gw. | 20:06 |
| winut | or vica versa | 20:06 |
| beetlejooz | ifconfig eth0 12.x.x.86 /28 | 20:07 |
| penlat_ | What application will transcode to mpeg2 or avchd? | 20:07 |
| beetlejooz | route add default gw 12.x.x.81 netmask 255.255.255.240 | 20:07 |
| beetlejooz | am I missing something? | 20:07 |
| winut | papa_bear, i would ditch unity myself and logon again in classic desktop (just me) | 20:07 |
| lucidguy | winut: I can't see that being the case | 20:08 |
| viii | RedRobot, in the xorg log it says EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 20:08 |
| pappa_bear | winut, sound advice | 20:08 |
| winut | ok, ill check :-) | 20:08 |
| RedRobot | viii: trow the whole config up in paste.pocoo.org or another sane pastebim | 20:08 |
| kevinh90 | hello | 20:08 |
| RedRobot | -m+n | 20:08 |
| RedRobot | viii: err.. log not config | 20:09 |
| kevinh90 | I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop yesterday. In the past I have used ubuntu with no problems, and on the first few boots everything was fine - now everything randomly freezes | 20:09 |
| xiljin | successfully upgraded a box to oneiric last week (via do-release-upgrade), tried to upgrade a different box today and it bombs just before installing packages with a 'no such file or directory' error .. any ideas or alternative ways to upgrade? | 20:09 |
| Pici | xiljin: Oneiric isn't su[[prted in this channel, please use #ubuntu+1 | 20:10 |
| beetlejooz | Anyone here understand routing enough to help with my ubuntu server routing issue? | 20:10 |
| xiljin | Pici: thanks | 20:10 |
| kevinh90 | when running on battery I could barely even get logged in and unity said my computer didnt meet the requirements(odd since right after I installed and even after I installed updates it was fine) | 20:10 |
| winut | GT218 (310) and Quadro (GT100) yes, quite different http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units | 20:10 |
| kevinh90 | beetlejooz, go ahead and ask | 20:11 |
| kevinh90 | I cant guarantee I can help though | 20:11 |
| beetlejooz | kevin: I already did | 20:11 |
| beetlejooz | can't ping past my default gw | 20:11 |
| DynamicFail | llutz, didn't work but gave me an idea | 20:11 |
| beetlejooz | if i give the same address to my laptop I can get out just fine | 20:11 |
| beetlejooz | same gw | 20:11 |
| DynamicFail | clear; while true; do tailf /file; clear; done; | 20:12 |
| kevinh90 | can you ping the default gw from ubuntu? | 20:12 |
| beetlejooz | yes | 20:12 |
| winut | lucidguy, what version of ubuntu you running? thx | 20:12 |
| beetlejooz | can't ping *past* it | 20:12 |
| llutz | DynamicFail: watch -n 5 cat foo/file :) | 20:12 |
| lucidguy | winut: 10.04.2 | 20:12 |
| beetlejooz | ie, I'm not routing out | 20:12 |
| winut | does it seem ok, have you benchmarked it etc? | 20:12 |
| kevinh90 | could it be a bcast issue? | 20:12 |
| winut | i mean is video and 3d working? | 20:13 |
| lucidguy | winut: Just got it up and running ... nvidia-settings is also ready Memory 512mb .. obviously wrong, The quadro 5000 has 2.5GB to my knowledge | 20:13 |
| viii | RedRobot, http://pastebin.com/FxcQmHB8 | 20:13 |
| DynamicFail | llutz, that works also :) | 20:14 |
| lucidguy | winut: yes seems alright for now, glxgears responded | 20:14 |
| RedRobot | viii: I can't open pastebin.com, which is why I suggested pocoo | 20:14 |
| winut | wow, mega memory :-) | 20:14 |
| winut | do you use this for 3d work? | 20:14 |
| lucidguy | winut: this is a new graphics system I had built for for work. Yes they use it as a graphic workstation. | 20:15 |
| viii | RedRobot, really? id never heard of that, is it a javascript thing? | 20:15 |
| winut | sick | 20:15 |
| lucidguy | winut: 24GB of ram | 20:15 |
| winut | omg !!!! | 20:15 |
| lucidguy | DDR3 also | 20:15 |
| RedRobot | viii: no, it is pastebin.com being silly. not that I would open it if I could anyway, I don't like sites with nasty ads | 20:15 |
| winut | let me know if you have a spare machine like that lol :-) | 20:16 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| kevinh90 | I think my freezing issue might have something to do with my graphics card. glxinfo says I dont have direct rendering even though the vendor string is nvidia corp | 20:16 |
| winut | i can see why the error has cropped up, not many people have this card i imagine | 20:16 |
| lucidguy | winut: we have two of these babies ... 27inch high end LCD also ... 1440 Vertical res .. I think close to 3000 horiz | 20:16 |

| misaq | jerk255, don't worry. if your internet speed is good, like 256 kbps, your update should be done in about one hour | 20:32 |

| asslowashell | oh wow. so baaaasically. I need to downgrade to ubuntu 9 if i want insight working | 21:33 |
| asslowashell | well thats simply a joy :/ | 21:33 |
| NictraSavios | asslowashell: Or use another distro. But... yea. | 21:33 |
| === BlouBlou is now known as BlouBlou1 | ||
| === BlouBlou1 is now known as BlouBlou | ||
| NictraSavios | asslowashell: If you need to downgrade to use something, chances are its because there is a better (thats up for debate), newer version or alternative thats better supported or activitly developed. | 21:34 |
| jetrost | chaddy: after installing openssh-server, what do i do? also, is there any particular port i should be connecting to? | 21:34 |
| asslowashell | NictraSavios: typically, i suppose, but I don't think so in this case. | 21:35 |
| NictraSavios | jetrost: In my experance, Shh servers use port 22. | 21:35 |
| Totem-Schalter | port 22 | 21:35 |
| chaddy | jetrost: putty to user@host, should use default port which is 22 | 21:35 |
| asslowashell | This is why I normally hate updating | 21:35 |
| RedRobot | asslowashell: I would just find a replacement for insight | 21:35 |
| NictraSavios | asslowashell: Ive never used insight, So i have no option on that, But you should try googling around a little, you may be surprised. | 21:35 |
| jetrost | NictraSavios, Totem-Schalter, chaddy: thanks. | 21:36 |
| NictraSavios | asslowashell: Personally, I HATED gnome 3, thought it was the worst thing in the world, till I used it. Now its my favortite DE. You may have the same experance with Insight and whatever alternative, if any, it has. | 21:36 |
| Totem-Schalter | jetrost: dont forget if your going to connect over a router u may wanna open port 22 on the router | 21:36 |
| jetrost | Totem-Schalter: dang, that complicates things. btw, should i run openssh-server after it is installed? or does it handle itself automatically? | 21:38 |
| Totem-Schalter | it start automatically | 21:38 |
| Totem-Schalter | or id did for me | 21:38 |
| DieterBohlen__ | exit | 21:38 |
| NictraSavios | jetrost: Many routers have port 20,22 and a few other common ports alredy open. | 21:39 |
| andrea_ | Herro | 21:39 |
| Totem-Schalter | oh then it should work .. | 21:39 |
| NictraSavios | jetrost: Mine did, and its a belkin. If they have it open, then most do. Cus belkins are the cow poo of routers in my opinion haha | 21:40 |
| jetrost | what would the host be? my ip address? | 21:40 |
| Totem-Schalter | depends if your running Nat | 21:40 |
| Totem-Schalter | if u wanna check over the router use your routers incoming Ip address | 21:41 |
| NictraSavios | jetrost: It would probably be your local ip, like 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.2.2 | 21:41 |
| jetrost | would i be running Nat on a clean install of ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| Totem-Schalter | jetrost: u may wanna google port forwarding and read up an that | 21:42 |
| NictraSavios | jetrost: You can also define these local ips to nicknames in /etc/hosts | 21:42 |
| Totem-Schalter | Nat is run on the router not the computer | 21:42 |
| chaddy | jetrost: NAT is what gives you so many local ip's on your LAN rather than just you external ip which identifies you on the internet | 21:42 |
| NictraSavios | Don't all modern routers use Nat? | 21:42 |
| jetrost | understood. thanks all. i'll research a bit more. | 21:43 |

| NictraSavios | penlat_: Backup your home directory, and use dpkg --get-selections to maintain a list of your installed software | 22:13 |
| abc123xyz | penlat_: take a look at clonezilla | 22:13 |

| NictraSavios | tsrk: When you use the "connect to server" dialog, it lets you specify what folder you want to connect to. Use that as your starting point. | 22:13 |
| th0r | tsrk: you might also look at the ssh_config file in /etc/ssh | 22:14 |
| penlat_ | Alright thats a start. THank you guys | 22:14 |
| tsrk | NictraSavios: That specifies what folder to access on the remote machine. It's not what I need. | 22:14 |
| NictraSavios | tsrk: I thought thats what you wanted, sorry | 22:14 |

| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type Ā« aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages Ā», move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type Ā« sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install Ā» - See also !automate | 22:17 |

| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: But your trying to get help with suse? | 22:29 |
| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: in the ubuntu channel. I want you to stop, think about the logic there. | 22:30 |
| siavoshkc | this feature should be same on most distros I suppose | 22:30 |
| lesnek | ciao | 22:30 |
| siavoshkc | I am trying to get help on linux | 22:30 |
| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: You suppose? ... Getcha but to #opensuse :P | 22:30 |
| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: so shoudlnt you be in #linux? | 22:31 |
| siavoshkc | good idea | 22:31 |
| siavoshkc | I should be there too | 22:31 |
| szal | NictraSavios: he is in #suse, hence my question, because I'm in both chans too | 22:31 |
| qin | NictraSavios: You could give him command to diff /etc/pass... too | 22:31 |
| mattmatteh | anyone know how to get hardware video playback on intel i3 hd 2000 ? | 22:31 |
| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: only there. Unless your ubuntu is acting up, in that case, you should be only in #suse | 22:32 |
| siavoshkc | NictraSavios: err I dont think so | 22:32 |
| NictraSavios | siavoshkc: If your asking for help with suse here, we will give you this "send suse to /dev/null, and use ubuntu only, have a nice day" | 22:32 |
| szal | siavoshkc: just to get things straight, it's definitely not a crime to be in multiple distro channels, but it _is_ bad manner to ask the same question across multiple channels that have nothing to do w/ each other | 22:33 |
| siavoshkc | aha | 22:33 |
| qin | siavoshkc: Just do not admit to having non-Ubuntu distro ;_ | 22:33 |
| siavoshkc | there is a war | 22:33 |
| Freakish | Quick question: I have Natty Narwhal, which is so far a great introduction for me to Linux.... but I installed VMWare recently, via their website because the synaptic packages seemed to not be functioning properly.... and now I don't know how to get it off of my machine (I went with VirtualBox instead), since it doesn't show up as even being installed | 22:33 |
| guntbert | qin: stop that nonsense | 22:33 |
| NictraSavios | Freakish: its probably in /opt/ look in there for an "uninstalll" script, or look on the VM website | 22:34 |
| guntbert | siavoshkc: no war at all but different distros handle things differently and what fit for one may do harm on the other | 22:34 |
| qin | guntbert: 15 lines, and someone just asked for chmod???? | 22:34 |
| Freakish | thanks, Nictra | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Freakish, the apt options only support uninstalling things installed using apt, which VMWare isn't one. See if VMWare has some uninstall instructions. Best of luck. | 22:35 |
| underscor | Hey guys, any idea why this would happen after an apt-get upgrade? | 22:35 |

| SPYWARE | anyone know some good ipv6 ubuntu repositorys in europe? using ftp.heanet.ie atm, but only 100 kb / s =( | 22:35 |
| underscor | NictraSavios: Haha | 22:35 |
| szal | siavoshkc: being new is not an excuse for cross-posting | 22:36 |
| siavoshkc | I tried mint, ubuntu, poppy | 22:36 |
| siavoshkc | I want to say somethin szal | 22:36 |
| siavoshkc | its not a forum | 22:36 |
| siavoshkc | I should think people are different in other rooms | 22:36 |
| Freakish | I wanted to use VMWare, because I hear its a great platform, but whenever I ran it it I got a "Unable to build kernel module." error | 22:36 |
| siavoshkc | so cross posting has no meaning here | 22:37 |

| tsrk | abc123xyz: It turns out the issue that was causing SSH to fail was that the key file I'm using wasn't readable to the user that needed to access it. I have a new problem though, which is that SSH doesn't like key files to be world readable, but I need it to be so that the user can read it. Any idea how to make SSH use it even with 644 permissions? | 22:38 |

| abc123xyz | tsrk: that I can't help with unfortunately, don't have that much experience, sorry, good luck | 22:39 |
| tsrk | th0r: I know, but SSH won't let me use 644 permissions. It ignores the key file, telling me to make it more secure. | 22:39 |
| === Guest6574 is now known as Anonimo | ||
| th0r | tsrk: it probably wants 600, or maybe 640 | 22:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | tsrk, couldn't you copy the key to user's .ssh folder and change permission? | 22:40 |
| NictraSavios | th0r: thats because the 4 means its world readable. | 22:40 |

| metroider | my monitor goes to sleep when using/watching flash video... is there a way to make ubuntu recognize when flash is in use and not turn the monitor off? | 23:35 |
| Ddpbf | GROANMAN: do not use caps lock | 23:35 |
| GROANMAN | sorry..been a while since i've been in a chat room | 23:35 |
| Ddpbf | it is unpolite way of communicating on iternet | 23:35 |
| Ddpbf | :) | 23:35 |

| qin | bazhang: PythonSnake "fdisk -l" http://pastebin.com/bZJd7jCV | 23:36 |
| spacebug- | ubuntuone questions, are they in here as well? | 23:36 |
| bytesaber_work | it wasn't until ubuntu started taking over, that linux docs now confusingly all include "sudo" | 23:36 |
| bazhang | bytesaber_work, and? | 23:36 |
| ZKAT8IT | how would i install a program on ubuntu 11.04 so the system recognizes it as an installed app instead of just a folder with the app in it? trying to install the new blender and theres no repo for it | 23:36 |
| metroider | is there a way to set up a <presentation mode> in unity? --i know there is a gnome plugin. | 23:36 |
| bytesaber_work | why not just su - if you're going to give a user access to every single root command | 23:36 |
| GROANMAN | ok | 23:37 |
| bazhang | bytesaber_work, sudo -i | 23:37 |
| bytesaber_work | sudo was meant for setting up a limited number of commands to a mortal | 23:37 |
| Ddpbf | bytesaber_work: suse also uses sudo | 23:37 |
| ColKurtz | sususususudio | 23:37 |
| Maimster | Sup everyone. | 23:37 |
| Ddpbf | and knoppix, and mepis | 23:37 |
| Ddpbf | etc | 23:37 |
| bazhang | bytesaber_work, sudo is what ubuntu uses. not up for debate here | 23:37 |
| chili555 | bytesaber_work, resistance is futile... | 23:37 |
| GROANMAN | well every time i download a copy of ubuntu or kbuntu i keep getting a file missing no no...i think it says i have one file error | 23:38 |
| bytesaber_work | chili555, >: ) | 23:38 |
| Ddpbf | GROANMAN: try torrent | 23:38 |
| bazhang | GROANMAN, via torrent? http? | 23:38 |
| bytesaber_work | so i install xinetd and tftp server via apt today. did it include a template tftp conf file? nope. But i could good one on ubuntu's forums for one. Why not just include the template file in the .deb? | 23:39 |
| GROANMAN | Ddpbf and bazhang not familiar with torrent or what it is | 23:39 |
| bekir | Hello everybody | 23:39 |
| afeijo | lol, I'm in trouble | 23:39 |
| chaddy | hi bekir | 23:39 |
| GROANMAN | Ddpbf !!!......is it ok to pm you? | 23:40 |
| afeijo | I removed compiz, it toke away the ubuntu-desktop, now I can do nothing with my machine! | 23:40 |
| afeijo | no terminal, nothing | 23:40 |
| bytesaber_work | ubuntu needs to make ubuntu-ism's and not adopt debian-isms | 23:40 |
| Ddpbf | yes | 23:40 |
| oraqol | hey guys, im running spachechem, its a game, natively on linux, its not very graphics intensive, but everytime i play it the cpu hits 85% +. Is that just how its supposed to run? I read somewhere about cpu affinity, but not sure how its done. I have dual core AMD turion | 23:40 |
| GROANMAN | ok kewl | 23:40 |
| bytesaber_work | if you're gonna take over the world, do it responsibly | 23:40 |
| afeijo | first, what is the command to open the terminal? | 23:40 |
| Ddpbf | GROANMAN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol) | 23:40 |
| bazhang | afeijo, ctrl alt T | 23:41 |
| afeijo | bazhang, no | 23:41 |
| chaddy | afeijo: or ctrl alt F1 | 23:41 |
| bazhang | afeijo, you mean tty? | 23:41 |
| afeijo | oh! good one chaddy, I mentally blocked that | 23:41 |
| chaddy | actually F1-F6, you have many | 23:41 |
| afeijo | yes | 23:41 |
| afeijo | trying | 23:41 |
| bazhang | afeijo, then say so | 23:41 |
| Cas07 | how would i debug a hard lockup when resuming from standby? | 23:42 |
| afeijo | bazhang, I dont call it tty | 23:42 |
| bazhang | Cas07, screensaver issue? | 23:42 |
| Cas07 | i dont use a screensaver | 23:42 |
| velofille | Cas07, i have the same thing on my dell laptop, apparently its a bug | 23:42 |
| afeijo | chaddy, it didnt work, F1-F6 show a pice of my desktop wallpaper and that is it | 23:42 |
| velofille | Cas07, is this on natty? | 23:43 |
| Cas07 | velofille: ahh i have a dell too, yeh | 23:43 |
| velofille | Cas07, then its a known bug, disable sleep/suspend and wait for an upgrade :( | 23:43 |
| Somelauw | mod4 + enter | 23:43 |
| Cas07 | do you have a bug reference? | 23:43 |
| chili555 | d00d! yer gonna hate a dell! | 23:43 |
| afeijo | I can create a desktop shortcut, but I need the tty/terminal command | 23:43 |
| chaddy | afeijo: if you have another computer you could ssh in (if you have an ssh server running) | 23:43 |
| velofille | nah the dell is usually great, and they do support linux on their website | 23:43 |
| chaddy | that will give you cli access | 23:43 |
| velofille | Cas07, nope, but google will provide that | 23:44 |
| velofille | Cas07, i expect it should be a faster upgrade, its a kernel bug iirc. | 23:44 |
| Cas07 | velofille: well i have searched and coming here was last resort | 23:44 |
| afeijo | I didnt install ssh server in that vm | 23:44 |
| chaddy | afeijo: mingetty | 23:44 |
| Cas07 | velofille: ok | 23:44 |
| chaddy | or just plain getty | 23:44 |
| Docolero | afeijo: xterm maybe? | 23:44 |
| velofille | Cas07, http://www.google.co.nz/search?q=dell+suspend+freeze+ubuntu+natty | 23:44 |
| oraqol | should a game like spacechem take 85+ cpu? | 23:45 |
