| draioch | just downloaded firefox-5.0.tar.bz2 and been trying to install it on latest lubuntu which has chrome as browser been looking for a good wiki for install guide or maybe its too early for that | 00:30 |
| OerHeks | draioch, ff5 should be in your updates by now | 00:31 |
| naryfa | anybody knows if moc/mocp will be ever updated or this is as good as it gets? | 00:31 |
| VCoolio | draioch: and you can extract where you like and just run the firefox executable inside | 00:31 |
| mhalligan | Has anyone ever seen "shift: 28: can't shift that many" when trying to restart a service? | 00:31 |
| draioch | thanks oerheks and vcoolio which is easier for a noobish | 00:32 |
| VCoolio | draioch: both are easy, I guess install firefox 5 using package manager is the way to go; if you just want to try some stuff out but keep the old one with add-ons, extract and run | 00:33 |
| SinnerNyx | is there some way in an sh script to check if a particular network interface (eg. eth1) is up or down? | 00:33 |
| qin | naryfa: Are you using 2.5? | 00:33 |
| draioch | dont have an old version thanks vcoolio ill try synatpic maybe thats the easiest | 00:34 |
| Faustus2 | followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing but still cant connect to internett, nor even from comp A to B | 00:34 |

| naryfa | qin: I also don't know how to set quick dir with a space/empty character in the folder name, escaping space with \ doesn't work | 00:35 |

| jjgalvez__ | histo: yep that's what I mean the source.list, that I know about but that won't backup the athentication keys so how do you back that up? | 00:55 |
| wildbat1 | ion_: don't thing it is ubuntu related ~ if you are looking for tools to view in hex there is ghex2, otherwise kinda offtopic. | 00:55 |
| ion_ | wildbat1:without any tools just using the dump program... | 00:57 |
| ion_ | wildbat1:I know is not but please point me the right direction ... | 00:57 |

| D3RGPS31 | VCoolio: itś system-wide >.> | 01:00 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: also check in /etc/apt/ there are some gpg's in there | 01:00 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: no you can just generate a list of installed packagess | 01:01 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: do you have 3rd party repositories enabled? | 01:01 |

| superfly__ | holy smokes, thanks to the bot in here. i didn't realize there were so many games NOT NAMED SOLITAIRE OR FROZEN TUX for linux o_0 | 01:03 |

| gry | superfly__: Sounds great. | 01:03 |
| Pin | Hi everyone, I need help!, how can i hide the Ubuntu 11.04 Sidebar? | 01:04 |
| jjgalvez__ | histo: I guess that is what I am trying to figure out how to do. How would I use keyserver to add the keys back? | 01:04 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: basically once the repos are sorted out. dpkg --get-selections > somefile on the old machine and dpkg --set-selections < somefile on the new machine | 01:04 |
| gry | Pin, clarify please | 01:04 |
| Pin | The sidebar | 01:05 |
| Pin | the launcher sidebar that comes default with ubuntu 11 | 01:05 |
| Pin | How do i hide it? | 01:05 |
| gry | !unity | 01:05 |
| 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. | 01:05 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: then sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade | 01:05 |
| gry | !classc | pin | 01:05 |
| ujjain | How come whne I one time dont want recommends installed, my apt-get stops solving depdencies? | 01:05 |
| gry | !classic | pin | 01:05 |
| ubottu | pin: 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". | 01:05 |
| Pin | what? | 01:05 |
| Pin | No i dont want to switchback | 01:05 |
| Pin | I just want to hide it | 01:05 |
| Pin | so its not in the way | 01:05 |
| histo | jjgalvez__: you could also backup the /var/cache/apt/archives/ and copy all the debs over | 01:06 |
| gry | you'll have no taskbar then you realise? | 01:06 |
| Pin | I said Hide, not erase | 01:06 |
| D3RGPS31 | How do I stop using the characters ´ and ¨, and return to using what their normal alternatives are (us keyboard), itś system-wide | 01:06 |
| jjgalvez__ | histo: right that will install everything from the list, assuming I have all the package sources added correctly | 01:06 |
| gry | do you want to auto-sow it on mouse hover, Pin ? | 01:06 |
| gry | auto-show * | 01:06 |
| Pin | yes | 01:06 |
| LjL | Pin: i can say it's possible from gconf or from some other tweak tool i don't remember the name of, however right now i can't check exactly how it's done | 01:06 |

| histo | jjgalvez__: correct. This is the problem with 3rd party repos | 01:07 |
| superfly__ | wouldn't it be incredible if game publishers were completely on board with linux? wait ... make that printer manufacturers ;) | 01:07 |
| jjgalvez__ | histo: I thought of that too but I get stuck with how to make sure I have all sources configured right, or do I just need to make a list of all the packages and add them with apt-add-repository | 01:07 |
| spacebug- | Pin: install compizconfig-settings-manager then start ccsm and gå to "desktop->ubuntu unity plugin" in that program. There changed "hide launcher" to "auto hide" | 01:07 |
| pc500 | under the vrf I had "Address-family ipv4", but there is no ipv6 option | 01:07 |
| gry | Pin see http://maketecheasier.com/autohide-unity-launcher-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/04/20 | 01:07 |

| gry | grymskaft you can set that, see the URL please | 01:08 |
| Pin | Problem resolved thank you spacebug / gry | 01:08 |
| spacebug- | yw | 01:08 |
| jjgalvez__ | histo: Thanks for the help and advice, I think I know how to do it now, I am just going to have to add the 3rd party repos manually before I do the restore from the list | 01:08 |

| histo | !clone | jjgalvez__ | 01:09 |
| ubottu | jjgalvez__: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 01:09 |

| j_anon2 | I SSHed into one server and ran a wget recursive command to copy a directory via ftp from a different server. If I close the command line window on my current computer (the guest computer i used to ssh into the server), will it stop copying? | 01:19 |
| jrib | j_anon2: yes | 01:20 |
| j_anon2 | jrib: then can i "pause" and resume the command? | 01:20 |
| jaana | j_anon2, you may want to use screen | 01:20 |
| j_anon2 | "use screen"? | 01:21 |
| jrib | j_anon2: in the future use screen or tmux. You can probably get away with just disowning the job at this point | 01:21 |
| kingofswords | how do i make a file executabl?e | 01:21 |
| qin | j_anon2: If its 32bit, try retty for detach/attach process. | 01:21 |

| znh | Hi. I'm about to download Ubuntu. The website recommends 32-bit. but I do have 4 Gb of ram and a 64bit cpu. what should I do? | 01:25 |
| noisewaterphd | 64 | 01:25 |
| kingofswords | 32 | 01:25 |
| jrib | 64 <-- for the tie-break | 01:26 |
| noisewaterphd | 64 all the way | 01:26 |
| kingofswords | you can get a program that allows you to use 4gb on 32 bit...but 64 is pain in the arse | 01:26 |
| jrib | kingofswords: why is 64 a "pain in the arse"? | 01:26 |
| qin | znh: 64, less battery life, some packages do not have 64 version, but still 64 is better. | 01:26 |
| noisewaterphd | if you really actually end up needing 32 compat you can just install the ia libs later | 01:26 |
| kingofswords | alot of packages dont have 64 bit versions | 01:26 |
| jrib | kingofswords: like? | 01:26 |
| Pin | OMG, I installed Compiz and I enabled Desktop Cube and now my windows have no borders | 01:26 |
| noisewaterphd | see above | 01:26 |
| Pin | HELP! | 01:26 |
| znh | is 64 as stable as 32? | 01:27 |
| kingofswords | god knows | 01:27 |
| qin | jrib: retty | 01:27 |
| Pin | it messed up my ubuntu unity | 01:27 |
| jrib | retty, any others? | 01:27 |
| qin | jrib: Not to my knowledge ;) | 01:27 |
| chrisf | znh: i have had no trouble with 64 | 01:28 |
| bazhang | kingofswords, thats just not true | 01:28 |
| znh | It's for desktop usage. Netbeans/Firefox/Music | 01:28 |
| jrib | znh: while some packages do not have 32 bit versions, I'd argue they are packages that most would not miss. I'd recommend you use 64bit | 01:28 |
| kingofswords | ok...ive had troubles with 64...and wished i had 32 now | 01:28 |
| znh | I'd prefer stability over speed | 01:28 |
| Pin | help my desktop is swiss cheese , I installed compiz and enabled Desktop cube in Ubuntu 11.04 and now my desktop is messed up | 01:28 |

| Pin | help! | 01:28 |

| noisewaterphd | hell even the flash plugin is 64bit now, and if you do manage to find a 32bit only app then just install the 32 bit ia libs and its a non issue | 01:29 |
| Pin | bazhang, I did that thanks, but now my bar dissapeared | 01:30 |

| tjk11 | hello | 02:12 |

| alan_ | Trying to use WinKey+Shift+N (N=1,2,3,4) for Keyboard shortcuts for "move window to workspace N". Doesn't work in 10.04 nor in 11.04. Worked in cat /etc/issue | 02:28 |
| afaty | OK。 | 02:28 |
| qin | fossconn: What was wrong? formatting? can you: cat file1.csv >> ../test && cat file2.csv >> ../test ??? | 02:28 |
| cablop | i have a real problem here | 02:28 |
| caoxiaomin | shift+F!@#$ | 02:28 |
| bazhang | cablop, with what | 02:28 |
| fossconn | No, it works totally fine! And I'm really happy with the result. | 02:29 |
| cablop | i mount the luks devices, then appears an extra one i didn't added on purpose called sdaX_crypt_unformatted | 02:29 |
| bthornton | Running ubuntu 11.04/gnome classic... my windows don't have title bars and I can't move/resize them. I know compiz is still running b/c I can change workspaces... how do I get my window titles back? | 02:29 |
| afaty | But I can stay in this channel, I do not speak | 02:30 |
| bazhang | bthornton, using gtk-window-decorator ? | 02:30 |
| cablop | bthornton: run in a console `compiz-decorator --replace &` | 02:30 |
| qin | fossconn: 02:24 < fossconn > hmm does not work :P [???] | 02:30 |
| bthornton | okay, just tried gtk-window-decorator and compiz-decorator... | 02:31 |
| bthornton | I can see my window titles now | 02:31 |
| cablop | bthornton: then use the compiz config manager to change the default value of the now-tied-to-uniti gtk-window-decorator for the line i provided you | 02:31 |
| bthornton | but can't move the windows. | 02:31 |
| elek | how do i remove x and all its components (gtk/gnome/kde libs/etc)? | 02:31 |
| cablop | now you need to go and use the compiz config an enable the move option | 02:31 |
| bthornton | aha success!! | 02:31 |
| qin | elek: Remove, mean permanently? | 02:31 |
| bthornton | thanks guys! | 02:31 |
| cablop | don't use compiz fusion icon | 02:32 |
| cablop | it will mess your compiz in 11.04 | 02:32 |
| elek | well, just delete them.. so yeah permanently | 02:32 |
| bthornton | yeah I messed up all sorts of things with compiz lately... it all started when I tried to enable wobbly windos and my desktop cube | 02:32 |
| Nobgul-bnc | elek, a lot of other programs will use gtk, if you remove it may be bad | 02:32 |
| bthornton | all just went downhill from there | 02:32 |
| qin | elek: It will be more effective (and faster) to reinstall to server edition. | 02:33 |
| elek | Nobgul-bnc: i dont need x on this install.. not going to run a vnc and no direct access to it | 02:33 |
| cablop | bthornton: anyone who tried to run 11.04 without unity regreted | 02:33 |
| Nobgul-bnc | elek, but the backend libs are still shared | 02:33 |
| bthornton | yup | 02:33 |
| cablop | elek: but, why you want to delete that? just disable it | 02:33 |
| Nobgul-bnc | elek, is what i ment. As bthornton suggest reformat into server would be a better idea in my opinion | 02:34 |
| elek | it was originally a server install.. but some jackass installed xubuntu-desktop packages on it | 02:34 |
| cyperbg | hello, I installed Hardware Sensors Monitor but is there a way to find out which temperature to what sensor corresponds? | 02:34 |
| bazhang | elek, or just use puregnome and dont install kubuntu-desktop | 02:34 |
| Nobgul-bnc | then just sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop | 02:34 |
| cablop | elek but it won't hurt | 02:35 |

| caoxiaomin | what is ubuntu? | 02:37 |
| o_oll | bazhang I'm not sure how in the world i didn't think of that =P | 02:37 |
| Nobgul-bnc | elek, I would be more worried about who got into your server and installed it. and who u gave access to | 02:37 |

| syntaxx | izinucs, yeah but after that it shows something like a debconf | 03:12 |
| joeseph | bazhang: Any specific model recommendations? | 03:12 |
| syntaxx | izinucs, like i need to input the server etc etc for the automatic configurations | 03:12 |

| cablop | ie mysql servr, it will ask you for a root password for the databases | 03:13 |
| syntaxx | cablop, hmm so does it mean it cant be configured using kickstart? | 03:14 |
| izinucs | syntaxx: sounds like a deb you downloaded.. you should only use it if it's not in the repositories.. aside from that if it asks for info after the dpkg then that's part of the library setup I would think. | 03:14 |
| cablop | check that package and what is it asking for | 03:14 |

| bazhang | daniel__, so you used dpkg? gdebi? | 03:22 |
| izinucs | daniel__: put it on the desktop and double click it.. software center might open but it's just an indication it's installing | 03:22 |
| daniel__ | bazhang, know clue what that means | 03:22 |
| bazhang | daniel__, how did you install the .deb then | 03:23 |
| daniel__ | double click | 03:23 |
| bazhang | gdebi then? did software center open? or what | 03:23 |

| RedRobot | LetsGo67: you switch to adsl2 | 03:30 |
| LetsGo67 | bazhang: Why not? | 03:30 |
| LetsGo67 | RedRobot: But say by using compression? | 03:30 |
| bazhang | LetsGo67, thats a bandwidth issue not an ubuntu issue | 03:30 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: unload the other alternative drivers, then manually open load wl with modprobe | 03:30 |
| RedRobot | LetsGo67: doesn't really help that much | 03:30 |
| tensorpudding | compression isn't going to increase your bandwidth | 03:30 |
| D3RGPS31 | cablop: did :/ | 03:31 |
| IdleOne | LetsGo67: you can't..it's dialup after all | 03:31 |
| RedRobot | usually you only get a 10-20% increase | 03:31 |
| tensorpudding | it'll make transferring some things faster | 03:31 |
| syntaxx | can i get specific file in debian repository using apt-get? | 03:31 |
| LetsGo67 | RedRobot: Not with Opera! It gives me 2 times or 3 times! But Firefox doesn't have a compressor! :( | 03:31 |
| pzn | izinucs, you mean simple-ccsm package? | 03:31 |
| bazhang | syntaxx, dont mix debian and ubuntu repos, no | 03:31 |
| LetsGo67 | tensorpudding: It's better than just dial-up, right? | 03:31 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: `modprobe -r b43` or ssb or wl then `modprobe wl` | 03:31 |
| LetsGo67 | IdleOne: When did a compressor start existing? | 03:32 |
| RedRobot | LetsGo67: compression depends on your isp | 03:32 |
| izinucs | pzn: there's another.. search for compiz | 03:32 |
| RedRobot | not on the browser | 03:32 |
| tensorpudding | what does opera's compressor do? | 03:32 |
| izinucs | pzn: simple is .. well.. simple.. ccsm is the real deal | 03:32 |
| tensorpudding | compression requires that your endpoint compress the data before sending it to you | 03:32 |
| cablop | check in the modules ubuntu load if there's a file that one of them leaves that disables the other drivers wt boot up | 03:32 |
| RedRobot | bha so much tab fail tonight | 03:32 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: check last comment | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | LetsGo67: no idea, but like already mentioned this is not an Ubuntu issue. | 03:32 |
| pzn | izinucs, there is no "ccsm" package :-( | 03:32 |
| LetsGo67 | tensorpudding: It makes mobile and desktop pages smaller so that the Internet is 2x to 3x "faster" or more. | 03:33 |
| izinucs | pzn | 03:33 |
| tensorpudding | it's apparently an option for HTTP servers to compress | 03:33 |

| ubottu | LetsGo67: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:33 |
| izinucs | pzn: hang on.. I'll find it for you. | 03:33 |
| tensorpudding | it's totally not an ubuntu thing | 03:33 |
| D3RGPS31 | cablop: i've done every thing on that page and on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx :c | 03:33 |
| LetsGo67 | IdleOne: But isn't "running Windows apps on Ubuntu" related to Ubuntu? | 03:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | pzn, compizconfig-settings-manager (or something SIMILAR) | 03:33 |
| bazhang | LetsGo67, lets move on please | 03:33 |
| tensorpudding | nor does it make your connnection faster, just allows you to transfer data over http faster on some sites | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | LetsGo67: I'm not going to continue more off topic discussion. You know the rules here please take it elsewhere | 03:33 |
| scriptwarlock | LetsGo67, its a wine thing | 03:33 |
| LetsGo67 | bazhang: Final question, is it fun to use the technology on Ubuntu? | 03:34 |
| izinucs | pzn: in Ubuntu software center (if that's where you're looking) it's Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) .. 2 lines above the "simple" listing | 03:34 |
| LetsGo67 | !ppp | 03:34 |
| ubottu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 03:34 |
| bazhang | LetsGo67, /msg ubottu please | 03:34 |
| izinucs | pzn: you'll notice right below it it says "compiz config settings manager" | 03:35 |
| LetsGo67 | Okay, now for an on-topic discussion: my modem says "Santa" on it. What driver do i need? | 03:35 |
| Gnea | ? | 03:36 |
| * Gnea notes that on-topic discussions tend to be serious discussions | 03:36 | |
| LetsGo67 | Gnea: Yes. | 03:36 |
| pzn | ZykoticK9, izinucs thanks, I found ccsm, installing it now | 03:36 |
| Gnea | LetsGo67: got a picture of said modem? | 03:37 |
| bazhang | LetsGo67, that has zero to do with ubuntu | 03:37 |
| izinucs | pzn: np :) | 03:37 |
| scriptwarlock | LetsGo67, be more specific | 03:37 |
| cablop | LetsGo67: you need to get to know the chipset, i forgot the commands... there are some to list your hw | 03:37 |
| DarkStar1 | hi ppl. is there a mail client that can be configured to send a delayed mail? | 03:37 |
| velofille | DarkStar1, cron can do that, but not not really | 03:37 |
| D3RGPS31 | cablop: nvm, it named itself eth2 for some reason i don't want to know | 03:37 |
| velofille | DarkStar1, 'at' command line would also do it. Do not know any clients at all. Look for thunderbird plugin? | 03:38 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: eth0 is the name of the ethernet device from the system point of view, that means you have two ethernet devices | 03:38 |
| DarkStar1 | thx ppl | 03:38 |
| D3RGPS31 | cablop: i have no eth0, i thought that strange :/ my ethernet goes to eth1, and the wireless adapter is eth2 | 03:38 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: well three ethernet devices, eth0 eth1 and eth2 or you had three different devices all the time | 03:39 |
| D3RGPS31 | cablop: should i worry? | 03:39 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: then you had another device in the past, now removed or disabled, and no, no worries, that means your computer remembers its configuration and that's ok | 03:39 |
| D3RGPS31 | this feels dirty :c | 03:40 |
| velofille | try washing it | 03:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | cablop, i too have issues with eth0 appearing as eth1 on SEVERAL installs (though they are VMs, but typically they start as eth0 then majically on reboots become eth1 - it's a pain) | 03:40 |
| cablop | DarkStar1: i remember Eudora was able in the past | 03:40 |
| D3RGPS31 | ZykoticK9: i did my install from a VM then swapped it to a laptop | 03:40 |
| EvilMog | is there any way to purge the mpich2 package from 11.04 and install the 10.04 LTS package in 11.04? | 03:40 |
| cablop | if they become eth1 that means the mac changed, mostly in VMs if you were playing with the virtual eth devices | 03:41 |
| EvilMog | trying to avoid having to do a rebuild | 03:41 |
| Gnea | D3RGPS31: ethernet devices are renaming themselves on reboot? | 03:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | D3RGPS31, ? i just ignore the incorrect numbering and config eth1 and move on... | 03:41 |
| fernando | list | 03:41 |
| cablop | D3RGPS31: that's the thing, eth0 was the virtual eth device, you no longer have that one, so, no worries, continue | 03:41 |
| D3RGPS31 | okei dokei lokei :3 | 03:42 |
| Gnea | I tend to see devices change names when different devices get connected, so the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file tends to keep track of them | 03:42 |
| Gnea | but not everyone winds up finding that out | 03:43 |
| daniel__ | hello would anyone help me learn a little more about transmision liek do i wanna mess with the properties like speed and stuff or will it have a worse outcome | 03:43 |
| cablop | transmission is a bittorrent tracker? | 03:43 |
| Gnea | daniel__: depends on how much bandwidth you've got | 03:43 |
| cablop | i use deluge instead | 03:43 |
| daniel__ | yes | 03:43 |
| cablop | my suggestions, get to know your real download bandwith and your real upload bandwith | 03:44 |
| daniel__ | Gnea, how do i find that out | 03:44 |
| cablop | common isp make it asymetric, so upload is smaller | 03:44 |
| Gnea | daniel__: speedtest.net or something | 03:44 |
| Totem-Schalter | maby sppedtest.org | 03:44 |
| Totem-Schalter | speedtest.org | 03:44 |
| cablop | daniel__: stop downloading hearing online music or youtube... and speedtest.net | 03:44 |
| Totem-Schalter | yeah .net oops | 03:45 |
| cablop | daniel__: check in two different servers, not the one it offers you only | 03:45 |
| creep | hi @ all is there an admin to kick me (just for a test for the irc client that i currently developp plz) ! | 03:45 |
| daniel__ | should i turn off smuxi also ? | 03:45 |
| adminewb | cpu core voltage control, perhaps through sysfs, anyone? cpufreq interface isn't quite enough. | 03:45 |
| cablop | i suggest you to go no more than half the speeds | 03:45 |
| Gnea | cablop: they updated it | 03:46 |
| cablop | and i also suggest you to not to run many upload download threads at the same time | 03:46 |
| creep | hi @ all is there an admin to kick me (just for a test for the irc client that i currently develop plz) ! | 03:46 |
| === RedRobot is now known as Mion | ||
| bazhang | creep, no stop that | 03:46 |
| creep | ok just a question | 03:46 |
| Gnea | creep: just join your own channel and kick yourself | 03:46 |
| creep | not yet implemented ^^ | 03:46 |
| scriptwarlock | hehehe nice idea | 03:46 |
| cablop | Gnea yep, but i cannot trust the servers they offer, for me they offer Quito and seems the Quito one is slower than my bandwidth, then i test with Aruba and China or Japan ones to make an average idea of the effective bandwidth | 03:47 |
| Gnea | cablop: well yeah, they're only basing it off of current ping values, it's a step in the right direction at least | 03:47 |
| celthunder | cablop: why not just test using the gateway ip your isp gives you...it's to there network that's about as fast as it'll get then test again using the exit of there network | 03:48 |
| celthunder | cablop: that's usually about as accurate as anything | 03:48 |
| daniel__ | Gnea, 2.78 Mbpsdownload .72 Mbps upload | 03:48 |
| cablop | celthunder: that will give me raw but not net bandwidth | 03:48 |
| celthunder | cablop: if they're throttling it'd make more sense for them to do it sooner than later. | 03:49 |
| Gnea | daniel__: try some different servers | 03:49 |
| celthunder | not that anything is run using common sense anymore | 03:49 |
| cablop | daniel__: Mbps... consider one think Mb is 1/8 of MB, so adjust the speed according to that | 03:49 |
| cablop | that means 2Mbps are really 256 KBps | 03:50 |
| daniel__ | Gnea, cablop, shoudl i find a server near me ? | 03:50 |
| cablop | ISP providers use Kbps and Mbps for their advertisement because numbers "sound" big | 03:50 |
| cablop | check one near you, check against the starred one closer to you, and check one far far away from you, about the other side of the planet | 03:51 |
| Gnea | daniel__: try 2 near you and 2 far from you | 03:51 |
| cablop | or like Gnea said, two close and two far, ie, i'm in south america, then i test Ecuador and Aruba, and away i test one in Europe and Tokyo or Hongkong | 03:52 |
| daniel__ | Gnea, they are all very close to that first number | 03:52 |
| Gnea | daniel__: add them up and divide by 4 and you'll have the average | 03:53 |
| cablop | daniel__: thwn that's very close to your effective speed | 03:53 |
| === quiesense is now known as quiescens | ||
| cablop | i ĺl sugest to use max speeds at 50~67% of your full speed | 03:53 |
| daniel__ | add the upload and download ? | 03:53 |
| cablop | no, calculate them appart | 03:54 |
| daniel__ | oh ok | 03:54 |
| cablop | avg dl and avg ul | 03:54 |
| cablop | you can in a hurry saturate your dl speed, but never never saturate your upload one, upload speed carries out information to check what network packages are you receiving losing, so they affect your dl speed | 03:55 |
| Totem-Schalter | i would not even mess with it i doubt u will see a diffrence | 03:55 |
| daniel__ | on transmision its in kib | 03:55 |
| cablop | kib... good enough, it is binary rather than decimal based, but umbers are so close | 03:56 |
| cablop | wait | 03:56 |
| cablop | KiB or Kib ??? | 03:56 |
| daniel__ | so what would is KiB | 03:57 |
| mcnellis | I have two cronjobs that I want to be run every 5 minutes, so I've used the */5 syntax for the minute spec. However the two cronjobs must not run at the same time, so how can I specify that one run every 5 minutes but offset by 2 minutes? so that it runs at minute 2, 7, 12, 17, etc. | 03:57 |
| daniel__ | i meant to just say KiB | 03:57 |
| cablop | long story short 1B = 8b, as B stands for Byte and b stands for bit | 03:57 |
| cablop | 1KB = 1000B and 1 KiB = 1024 B | 03:58 |
| bazhang | daniel__, this is really not ubuntu specific | 03:58 |
| woodyjlw | can I look at system info or all hardware info from live cd with terminal? if so what is the command? | 03:58 |
| bazhang | woodyjlw, sudo lshw | 03:58 |
| cablop | bazhang: well, right, but we are close to solve the isue xD | 03:58 |
| daniel__ | bazhang, sorry i will move lol | 03:58 |
| woodyjlw | bazhang, thanks | 03:59 |
| cablop | daniel__: to finish the topic so fast | 03:59 |
| bazhang | daniel__, set upload to 100kb done | 03:59 |
| Totem-Schalter | lol | 03:59 |
| bazhang | daniel__, this is transmission right? | 03:59 |
| daniel__ | yes | 03:59 |
| cablop | assume dl of 2Mbps, that means just 256KB/s then set it to no more than 128KiB to download | 03:59 |
| daniel__ | its preset there | 03:59 |
| freeminds | I am having trouble with setgid. I set the rights this way: chmod a+rx,g+ws . . Now I am trying to run a make install with a user, who is in that group that got the permission, but I get this error: chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/local/mailman/archives/private': Operation not permitted | 03:59 |
| freeminds | any ideas? | 04:00 |
| daniel__ | ok last question here and upload should be the same right ? | 04:00 |
| bazhang | daniel__, set the upload to 100kb, then if you have limited bandwidth click the turtle icon on the bottom | 04:00 |
| bazhang | daniel__, no | 04:00 |
| cablop | assume 0.72 Mbps then 9KiB to upload, LOL | 04:00 |
| cablop | wit, i did something wrong xD | 04:01 |
| bazhang | daniel__, set dl to unlimited, dl to 100kb | 04:01 |
| bazhang | daniel__, whoops ul to 100kb | 04:01 |
| cablop | not that ul, he'll hang the network that value | 04:01 |
| cablop | LOL | 04:01 |
| bazhang | probably | 04:01 |
| daniel__ | ok thanks and sorry for offtopic | 04:01 |
| cablop | 45 KiB of upload, no more | 04:01 |
| bazhang | daniel__, thats not offtopic, the definition of kib and KiB was | 04:02 |
| === guampa1 is now known as guampa | ||
| cablop | that's almost 50% of your ul, but you don't want to hang mail sending or see "lag" at facebooking xD | 04:02 |
| bazhang | daniel__, help with transmission is certainly on topic, just random bandwidth definitions are not really | 04:02 |
| daniel__ | oh i just want the torrents to download as fast as possible dont care if it lags | 04:03 |
| bazhang | daniel__, so set no limit on dl and use dht | 04:03 |
| cablop | daniel__: then still don't use the full ul dw | 04:03 |
| cablop | bw | 04:03 |
| bazhang | daniel__, the key is not setting ul too high, will choke your network for instance with firefox etc | 04:03 |
| woodyjlw | is there any know issues with this nvidia C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 04:04 |
| daniel__ | ok i have it at 100 /45 and now transmision should run smoother:D | 04:04 |
| cablop | daniel__: and also you cannot send the package received information on time, so the other peer won't start sending you more things | 04:04 |

| aurilliance | I'm aware some versions of xampp/lampp aren't supported in #ubuntu, but I'm trying to find the python based xampp starter app that ubuntu has - anyone know where it is / what it's called? It's a little gui window that has buttons for starting and stopping the xampp service... | 04:42 |

| i9c | sup guys, I want to install ubuntu on my new laptop, I have to instal 64bit to get my full 6GB of ram correct? or can I go 32bit and get PAEX (physical address extension) to take care of the rest of my ram? | 04:43 |
| bazhang | i9c, linux-generic-pae for 32 bit you mean? | 04:44 |
| izinucs | i9c: go 64 | 04:44 |
| i9c | I guess, ubuntu has 2 download options from what I can see, 32bit which says reccomended and 64 bit | 04:44 |
| bazhang | i9c, just get 64 really ignore the website | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | i9c, PAE is a sorta "hack" no one program can use more then the 3.2GB (32bit limitation), there are only a few programs that still require 32bit - but if you need one (some drivers) then stick to the 32bit plus PAE | 04:45 |
| i9c | what is PAE used for then | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | i9c, the "system" can use more then 3.2GB | 04:45 |
| i9c | but not applications? | 04:45 |
| bazhang | it can be used i9c but you can certainly go for 64, no reason not to | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | i9c, no "one" application | 04:46 |
| Loto | go 64 | 04:46 |
| arooni-mobile | ZykoticK9, thats annoying i can install air; but no air apps | 04:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | arooni-mobile, i have no idea - but I wouldn't start using Air today, as it may be gone tomorrow ;) | 04:46 |
| === mihow_ is now known as mihow | ||

| i9c | lol should have guessed :) | 04:52 |
| eldank | dd | 04:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | i9c, 64bit is also faster at some things then 32bit (video encoding for one) | 04:53 |

| ZykoticK9 | i9c, both your last questions are better for the OT channel. | 04:56 |
| i9c | why do you use debian over ubuntu? just curious, I don't know much about linux but I do know that ubuntu is based off of debian | 04:56 |

| darnell | can someone help me with the failed repo msgs i keep getting when i try to check for updates? | 05:39 |
| imed | alq | 05:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jeffsi, do you know what card it actually is? specifically what chipset it uses? does it work in other GNU/Linux distros? how many NICs do you have? | 05:39 |
| qin | darnell: You mean like all of updates? | 05:39 |
| darnell | qin: i get repo errors for the InRelease packages | 05:40 |
| darnell | this is a fresh install of 11.04 | 05:40 |
| darnell | some repo packages succeed with the download and the InRelease packages do not | 05:40 |

| adminewb | cpu core voltage control, perhaps through sysfs, anyone? cpufreq interface is not quite enough. | 05:41 |
| Jeffsi | i do know what the mobo number is if u need that | 05:41 |
| imed | gulzar, what about a free partition? | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jeffsi, sorry I can't really help - I can't even search online for a NIC that we don't know... but if lspci isn't show it - it means the kernel doesn't see it. Are you sure it is turned on in BIOS? | 05:42 |
| imed | install in that and keep all the rest and then copy to the new one | 05:43 |
| Jeffsi | ZykoticK9: no, i can check quick | 05:43 |
| qin | darnell: No Natty here to check ;( | 05:43 |
| gulzar | imed: i can keep one partiton for storing the file | 05:44 |
| gulzar | imed; others will change.... | 05:44 |
| darnell | qin: aahhhh, i have also tried mirrors, i get alot of 404s :( | 05:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | gulzar, you will probably want to use "cp -r /path/from /path/destination" the -r is recursive to copy everything underneath | 05:45 |
| darnell | can anybody report fetching failures in update manager when checking for updates? | 05:45 |
| imed | gulzar, yep, partitions are totally sandboxed | 05:45 |
| Jeffsi | ZykoticK9: i dont even see it in here, i may not be looking in the right place though | 05:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | darnell, if updates are failing - you should try switching your mirror (somewhere in U.S.C.) | 05:45 |
| imed | darnell, sorry not right now | 05:46 |
| darnell | ZykoticK9: I have tried other mirrors yet it still fails to fetch a few packages | 05:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jeffsi, not all BIOS have the option to enable/disable onboard NICs - but some do. If you don't remember disabling it at some point - it's probably NOT an issue. | 05:46 |
| gulzar | ZykoticK9: imed: ok...........and what about the configuration files in / like about the previous partitions? I have to change them so that Xubuntu will recognise them and will able to mount . Is it so? | 05:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | darnell, the packages that are failing - are they from Ubuntu - or is it PPAs or 3rd party packages that are failing? | 05:47 |
| Jeffsi | ZykoticK9: this computer was not originally mine, is there a name it may be under? | 05:47 |

| bigeye | qin: My question is about ubuntu keyboard shortcuts. anyway, thanks. | 05:50 |
| darnell | its having trouble downloading some repo packages, not the updates | 05:50 |
| qin | bigeye: Keybindings are configured in ~/.tmux.conf | 05:50 |
| Jeffsi | ZykoticK9: would it maybe be CIR or Midi? | 05:50 |
| qin | bigeye: making shortcuts via gnome do not make sens. | 05:50 |
| imed | gulzar, the / partition is where the core system runs | 05:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jeffsi, not midi that's for sure - don't know what CIR would be? but i doubt that's a NIC... | 05:51 |
| bigeye | qin: I mean, Register launching tmux, not in tmux. | 05:51 |
| imed | you have to keep it if you want to use it | 05:51 |
| bigeye | like launching terminal | 05:51 |
| gulzar | imed: right but there must be some file which holds configuration about the partitons ? | 05:51 |
| bigeye | Actually, I want to launch tmux when I press C-M-T | 05:51 |
| imed | gulzar, /etc/fstab | 05:52 |
| qin | bigeye: So, you want to lauch terminal with command: gnome-terminal -e bash tmux (more-less like this) | 05:52 |

| celthunder | ZykoticK9: hmm is it plugged in tightly? bios see it? | 05:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | celthunder, which does make trouble shooting difficult. It's an onboard NIC so plugging isn't an issue. They don't see anything in BIOS for NIC either??? | 05:58 |
| celthunder | ZykoticK9: ouch...network boot an option usually that displays some info on the nic at the least (or motherboard model would be nice) | 05:59 |

| deekr | I'm running natty on a VM in vista. I just installed ubu and set up unity, but the windowing system is still classic gnome. where would I go to fix this? | 06:17 |
| tntc | deekr: which virtualization software are you using? | 06:17 |
| deekr | tntc, virtual box | 06:18 |
| deekr | latest version | 06:18 |
| tntc | deekr: did you enable 3d support in the display settings of virtual box? | 06:18 |
| deekr | yes | 06:18 |
| tntc | guest tools as well? | 06:19 |
| deekr | but when it first ran ubu during setup, it said that I didn't have the correct hardware and went into classic mode | 06:19 |
| deekr | after the installation, I mounted and ran the guest tools | 06:19 |
| deekr | then did an update, and restarted, but alas, still classic | 06:20 |
| tntc | ok. at the login screen, down near the bottom, there should be an option for the session | 06:20 |
| deekr | I believe it was Ubuntu, ill restart | 06:20 |
| MaxPrt | whats a good VPN client which allows the use of a pin and a pass key? | 06:20 |
| deekr | note that the unity panel on the left appears | 06:21 |
| deekr | just the windowing system is classic | 06:21 |

| _Lucifer | ohzie well, I had it working before in 10.04 10.10 and 11.04, but since I hosed the install (I think it was when I changed the partition sizes, made it unbootable for some reason) and reinstalled, I downloaded the install package and it worked on the first boot, now it's not showing up. every other time it's been the firmware issue, it's shown in the network manager as there but unusable as there was no firmware. now it isn't showing at all, which is odd | 07:53 |
| dia | okay, i think i DLed the driver i need; now how do I make it work (it's in tar.gz atm) | 07:55 |
| _Lucifer | ohzie : getting it working the first time was actually the only hardware issue I've had with ubuntu (other than the communicator puck for the original xbox controller. probably should have checked compatibility before buying it. oh well, it was only three bucks) | 07:56 |

| leagris | While using Unity, How do I enable using <super> modifier to control compiz ezoom I absolutely need as a visually impaired? | 07:58 |
| leagris | Is there an ubuntu accessibility group/irc/support I can discuss and be heard about the upcoming changes affecting usability as it is the case with Unity and be listened to? | 07:59 |

| rypervenche | acp_: I understand. I had the exact same problem, and updating my kernel fixed it as well. | 08:25 |
| glontu | i have a computer which i intend to use as a router with 2 wans and 1 lan. It should have a main wan and a fallback wan. When on one of the wans it should continuously monitor the uplinks and when the main wan fails it should go to the secondary wan | 08:26 |
| glontu | when the main wan is up ( we determine this by pingign gateways ) it should come back to the main wan | 08:27 |
| glontu | so | 08:27 |
| glontu | what's the best approach to solve this ? | 08:27 |
| glontu | i need to run the script as root | 08:27 |
| glontu | and i need my script to be ran when the computer is booted | 08:27 |

| inashdeen | hi, wanna ask, why cant we do a simulataneous install of apps on ubuntu.thanks | 10:03 |
| aliendude5300 | inashdeen: you can, using the terminal and sudo apt-get install ... | 10:05 |
| tanath | any scripting gurus around who can help me fix this if statement? | 10:05 |
| chaddy | inashdeen: there's a lock involved in the package manager so that things don't get confused, you can select multiple items to be installed listwise | 10:05 |
| tanath | if [ $(ls -1 $MPATH | wc -l) > 0 ]; | 10:05 |
| securityxxxpert | Anybody know if you can un fubar your unity desktop if you were messing around with ccsm and disabled desktop wall? | 10:05 |
| tanath | doesn't seem to evaluate. looked up if statements and tried everything i could find. nothing works | 10:05 |
| oCean | tanath: try channel #bash | 10:05 |
| tanath | oCean, thanks | 10:06 |
| inashdeen | aliendude5300: it is not simultaneous, they just queue | 10:06 |
| Mikaze | Anyone know what makes /dev/dsp? | 10:06 |
| securityxxxpert | I guess I may have to reformat | 10:06 |
| tanath | Mikaze, 'makes'? you mean udev? or soundcard? | 10:07 |
| Mikaze | Yeah, for some reason, audio isn't working, and /dev/dsp doesn't exist. | 10:07 |
| oCean | inashdeen: I think that the biggest challange for simultaneous installs would be the resolving of dependencies for the various install processes running. When installing a package, there's a lock on the database that prevents other processes from installing at the same time | 10:07 |
| Mikaze | Am trying to figure out which package creates /dev/dsp so I can do a reinstall. | 10:08 |
| chaddy | Mikaze: http://superuser.com/questions/244173/missing-dev-dsp-under-ubuntu | 10:10 |
| chaddy | Mikaze: do you have /dev/padsp? | 10:10 |
| inashdeen | oCean : knew bout that, just talk to my loco team. but, isnt there any solution for it?? coz ubuntu is dynamic. we have gone through many impossibilties, right?> | 10:10 |
| glenn | gry thanks it works | 10:10 |
| inashdeen | second question, can we have a native debian and rpm based repo?? not using alien?? | 10:10 |
| Mikaze | Nope. No /dev/padsp | 10:11 |
| Mike45 | pear upgrade-all make all thins work again :) | 10:11 |
| chaddy | Mikaze: that's good, you shouldn't have; no /dev/dsp with natty either | 10:11 |
| chaddy | Mikaze: try "pulseaudio -k" as user | 10:12 |
| Mikaze | Oh, gods, not pulse audio... <sulks> | 10:12 |
| fairuz | Hi, for Natty installation, the option install alongside Windows, what it will do actually? Install Ubuntu on the same hard disk? If I want to install it to other hard disk, should I choose the option "Something else"? | 10:13 |
| chaddy | Mikaze: checked all the sensible things like muted sound sources and such in audio settings? | 10:13 |
| Mikaze | Alright. Seems weird that it didn't get installed in the first place. | 10:13 |
| Mikaze | Yeah, alsamixer even sees my SB sound card, but no sound. | 10:14 |

| brijithmac | Jonny:hi | 10:56 |
| Jonny | how do i get wget to follow redirects.... for example sometimes i wget a file .tar.gz but it is redirected so i get a .html file | 10:56 |
| Jonny | but on the browser i get the .tar.gz | 10:56 |
| Jonny | do u understand? | 10:56 |
| Freakish | @sudokill: Here are some shots of the screen when it crashed: http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Daemeon_Arkenyon_Zane/Natty%20Narwhal%20Issue1/ | 10:56 |

| Jonny | ?????? | 10:57 |
| sudokill | well only because im updating | 10:57 |
| gry | Jonny, that's server setup, you really can't do that, wget only takes direct links | 10:58 |
| slaeya | is there a firewall rule I can write so any outgoing connection on port 21 would use wlan0 ? | 10:58 |
| sudokill | slaeya, ud have to look at an iptables guide | 10:59 |
| slaeya | thanks, i'll go have a look now | 10:59 |

| gry | Jonny, link can end in anything -- what matters is its mime type only | 11:11 |

| Jonny | simple | 11:11 |
| Jonny | so want to do this | 11:11 |
| gry | Jonny, if mime type is html and you open it in firefox, it handles that and downloads the file, but wget isn't a browser, so it'll just download the html page | 11:11 |
| Jonny | but to follow the redirect | 11:11 |

| Snicksie | Hi all, I already asked this in ##mac, but they didnt know a solution... I have a MacBook on which I installed (after Mac OSX and windows) ubuntu 11.04, but now my mac osx doesnt want to startup anymore... I got a'still waiting for root device', which can mean ubuntu has done something with my boot record or whatever... Any ideas/solutions? | 11:16 |
| sudokill | Jonny i tried it too it works | 11:16 |

| sgo11 | hi, is there a plan to release gubuntu (gnome ubuntu)? unity is just slow and ugly. thanks. | 11:16 |
| hammoommah | i am trying to setup home network for me + 5 kidlets, i would like the kids to be able to log into any computer and have same environment every time specific to them. I was wondering if i would be looking at setting up server using UEC using virtual machines or all comps having desktop edtion installed? | 11:17 |
| sudokill | sgo11, classic mode? | 11:17 |
| gry | Snicksie, #grub maybe ? | 11:17 |

| sgo11 | sudokill, what is classic mode? sorry. I just want to use gnome3 for my default desktop manager. | 11:18 |
| sudokill | sgo11, classis mode looks like gnome 2 afaik | 11:18 |
| hammoommah | only hassle is booting from usb sticks, doesnt like them sfor some reason | 11:19 |
| Jonny | how to extract a .tcl.gz? | 11:19 |

| Jonny | tar -zxvf doesnt work | 11:19 |
| gry | Jonny, tar -xvf filename | 11:19 |
| sgo11 | sudokill, i am just wondering if any plan to release gubuntu, just like kubuntu. | 11:19 |
| Jonny | gry tar: This does not look like a tar archive | 11:20 |
| sgo11 | sgo11, really? so how to use gnome 3 on ubuntu then? | 11:20 |
| sudokill | i dont think so | 11:20 |

| ikonia | fa_effekt: when you use "sudo" you are running a command as the root user, the user "root" won't have an evolution address book, so there will be nothing to do, as you can see that command has execute for every one permissions, so if you run it as yourself, it will work, and it will also export your address book | 12:00 |

| gry | !antivirus | 12:12 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 12:12 |
| gry | pRoV7x, see above | 12:12 |
| Kuzad | pRoV7x, You might want a firewall, and a backup program. | 12:13 |
| pRoV7x | i see thank u all | 12:13 |
| Kuzad | Hello. I am installing 11.04, or at least I will be. I plan to partition it in different partitions, such as /boot having a small partition, / having about a 40-80 GB partition, and /home having a large partition of indeterminate size. While I was doing my configuring in the installer, I noticed that another part of the root existed. /usr/local. I want to partition this as well, and I need to know what its size should be? | 12:13 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: no need for boot to be separate any longer | 12:14 |
| pRoV7x | so there won't be a hacking chance or something | 12:14 |
| pRoV7x | is it that safe just wonder | 12:14 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: it depends on how many packages you'll be compiling outside of apt | 12:14 |
| glenn | szal restat isn't working | 12:14 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: I don't make /usr/local a separate partition | 12:14 |
| ectospasm | ...I usually set /home to be my largest, and everything else goes into / (and swap) | 12:15 |
| Kuzad | ectospasm, Alright. So my current partition layout will work, /boot, /, and /home? | 12:15 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: wasting time with /boot | 12:15 |
| aliali | hey guys. I have problem installing tor on ubuntu maverick. i have search for it and try lots of methods. | 12:16 |
| ectospasm | it used to be you needed a separate boot partition, but not any more with GRUB | 12:16 |
| glenn | how can i get my firefox 5 in a other language | 12:16 |
| Kuzad | ectospasm, I know that, but it's easier to repair GRUB if it messes up when it has its own partition. | 12:16 |
| Clerisy | when I put my mouse over the "minimize maximise close" buttons on any video players, it crashes my system and sends me back to login? | 12:17 |
| Cycovince | Glenn: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/linux-x86_64/xpi/ | 12:18 |
| Kuzad | Either way, if I might be installing a lot of packages within apt, how large should the root partition be? | 12:18 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: I dunno about that... GRUB just defines a pointer to any partition | 12:18 |
| ectospasm | ...in the MBR | 12:18 |
| nophone | how do i install g77 compiler? | 12:18 |
| Clerisy | Could somebody please help..... ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ | 12:18 |
| Kuzad | Clerisy, does it crash when you click them, or when you hover? | 12:19 |
| Clerisy | hover Kuzad | 12:19 |
| oCean | glenn: just so you know, there is a dutch help channel, #ubuntu-nl | 12:19 |
| ectospasm | nophone: do you need a FORTRAN 77 compiler? | 12:19 |
| nophone | ectospasm: it's for physics | 12:20 |
| ectospasm | nophone: I didn't ask why, I asked if that's what you want. | 12:20 |
| Clerisy | Kuzad» any ideas? | 12:21 |
| glenn | oCean, there is not muth help | 12:21 |
| nophone | ectospasm: ah well yes then. alot of ppl are condecending about the fortran programing language lol sorry for being so defensive | 12:21 |
| Kuzad | Clerisy, None at all, unfortunately. | 12:21 |
| Clerisy | gahh | 12:21 |
| oCean | glenn: you have not asked a question yet | 12:21 |
| ectospasm | nophone: aptitude install fortran77-compiler | 12:21 |
| glenn | Cycovince, what you give me works | 12:21 |
| Cycovince | good | 12:21 |
| Cycovince | glad it helped | 12:21 |
| nophone | tyvm | 12:21 |
| ectospasm | nophone: hey, my first real programming language experience was with FORTRAN 90 | 12:21 |
| Kuzad | ectospasm, if I may be installing a lot of packages from Apt or SC, would that be a difference in the root size? What part of the system is the data stored for programs from Apt/SC? | 12:22 |
| ectospasm | nophone: the flat memory model older FORTRAN versions used was quite elegant in its simplicity | 12:22 |
| glenn | oCean, i ask there many tims questions no answer | 12:22 |
| bleet | anyone know if its possilbe to edit the Compresss dialog from the right click menu | 12:22 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: I have never needed more than 30GB worth of space for / (including /usr, et cetera) | 12:22 |
| Kuzad | Alright, thanks for the help, ectospasm. | 12:23 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: YMMV, but if you're worried about it, put /usr and /var on LVM volumes, so you can grow them if you need it | 12:23 |
| * Kuzad runs off to his installer | 12:23 | |
| Cycovince | Glenn, is your problem solved ? | 12:23 |
| nophone | ectospasm: aparently i have to install aptitude as well | 12:23 |
| ectospasm | nophone: yeah, that's a "feature" of Ubuntu | 12:24 |
| chaddy | nophone: apt-get instead of aptitude, if you like | 12:24 |
| ectospasm | nophone: you could use apt-get, or use Synaptic, if you wish | 12:24 |
| ectospasm | nophone: just remember that I found the package you needed by typing "aptitude search fortran" | 12:24 |
| Cycovince | or software center, which is merely a gui to apt-get | 12:24 |
| nophone | tyvm ttyl | 12:24 |
| ectospasm | ...there are similar methods for apt-get (apt-cache search) and synaptic | 12:24 |
| one-guy | hey gues whats the off-topic chanel ? | 12:25 |
| ectospasm | one-guy: #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:25 |
| gry | !ot | one-guy | 12:25 |
| ubottu | one-guy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:25 |
| one-guy | thanks ectospasm | 12:25 |
| ectospasm | one-guy: there's also ##club-ubuntu for no-holds-barred, unofficial banter | 12:25 |
| glenn | Cycovince, yes | 12:25 |
| ikonia | ectospasm: please don't advertise that channel in here | 12:26 |
| Cycovince | glenn, Alright, just wanted to be sure ;) | 12:26 |
| Stava | Did I configure /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts correctly if "hostname" outputs "server1" and "hostname -f" outputs "server1.example.com"? | 12:27 |
| ectospasm | ikonia: heheheh, OK. Seems it strikes nerves. | 12:27 |
| sachin | when i log in ubuntu session i know but when i log into ubuntu only i can see only my desktop icons nothing else. no unity bar no top panel | 12:27 |
| ikonia | ectospasm: no, it's just not associated with ubuntu and against it's policies, hence why it's not advertised here, | 12:27 |
| ectospasm | heh, I'm not surprised by that comment ikonia | 12:28 |
| Cycovince | ikonia, what "policy" are you talking about ? | 12:28 |
| Kuzad | ectospasm, you said that I could create an LVM for those partitions. How would I do that? | 12:28 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: use the alternative installer | 12:28 |
| superhiha | what ^^ | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Cycovince: jump into #ubuntu-ops and I'll explain | 12:29 |
| Kuzad | ectospasm, Is it possible to do within GParted? | 12:29 |
| Clerisy | when I put my mouse over the "minimize maximise close" buttons on any video players, it crashes my system and sends me back to login? | 12:29 |
| ectospasm | Kuzad: I've never done it with GParted, but I don't really know. | 12:30 |
| CQ | hello, what font package do I need to install to get Arial in libreoffice? | 12:30 |
| ectospasm | Unless Natty has built the LVM stuff into the main LiveCD installer (which I always thought possible)... you need the alternate install (curses-based installer) | 12:30 |
| IanPM-W | is there a simple way to return my Ubuntu 11.4 install to the original install state? | 12:31 |
| one-guy | hey, does anyone here speak arabic ? | 12:32 |
| glenn | what is the best way to upgrade firefox | 12:32 |
| CQ | glenn: apt-get update; apt get upgrade | 12:32 |
| CQ | IanPM-W: probably not, no... | 12:32 |
| oCean | CQ: arial is in ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which is part of ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:33 |
| ectospasm | CQ: aptitude show ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 12:33 |
| ectospasm | oCean: beat me to it... | 12:33 |
| oCean | :) | 12:33 |
| petsounds | glenn, i think you can run firefox without having to install it, download firefox from the official website, extract it and paste the path to firefox shell in alacarte/main menu | 12:33 |
| oCean | glenn you have been told how to use the mozillateam ppa | 12:34 |
| Cycovince | Mozilla team stable | 12:36 |
| ikonia | not always | 12:36 |
| glenn | oCean, what ? | 12:36 |
| Cycovince | Glenn, you're already using Firefox 5, why would you want to upgrade then ? | 12:36 |
| oCean | glenn: we have been over this before | 12:36 |
| oCean | glenn: you asked how to get to ff5 and bazhang told you how to use the ppa | 12:37 |
| Clerisy | when I put my mouse over the "minimize maximise close" buttons on any video players, it crashes my system and sends me back to login? | 12:37 |
| icio | I'm having trouble setting up xorg to use the correct resolution for my monitor. Not sure where to begin. | 12:37 |
| pRoV7x | if i use wine with some windows programs, though im most of the time sure they're safe, in this case could the Linux OS get affacted or dameged in anyway that can't be fixed easly? | 12:37 |
| glenn | oCean, i wan't to now how to upgrade in the futher | 12:37 |
| Cycovince | Glenn: follow the instructions: http://bit.ly/l3sN0T | 12:37 |
| ikonia | Clerisy: as I suggested earlier, that was a known issue with an ati driver set and card earlier, and I believe nvidia had a similar issue at one point | 12:38 |
| oCean | glenn: once you've added the repo, it will provide further updates | 12:38 |
| Clerisy | ikonia» are you saying theres nothing I can do about it? | 12:38 |
| Clerisy | Because it hasnt happened until recently | 12:38 |
| ikonia | Clerisy: possibly, possibly not, if depends if it's the same problem | 12:38 |
| jnlsnl_ | anyone have experience with IMCE module ? | 12:38 |
| Clerisy | what do you propose ikonia? | 12:39 |
| pRoV7x | ubottu: i read it all thank you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 12:39 |
| ubottu | pRoV7x: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:39 |
| CQ | oCean: thanks | 12:40 |
| pRoV7x | i see thank gry then, hhhh | 12:42 |
| daedra | Ubuntu 11.04, Unity desktop environment, TwinView: the vertical application launch bar appears on the RIGHT screen, but is activated by moving the mouse to the left edge of the LEFT screen. This is VERY annoying. How do I fix it? I know I can press Super key to activate it but I still have to mosey on down to the right screen to launch apps :S | 12:42 |
| pRoV7x | thanks | 12:42 |
| IanPM-W | <CQ> IanPM-W: probably not, no... | 12:42 |
| IanPM-W | shame :( | 12:42 |
| glenn | oCean, but how can i see that here is a upgrade | 12:43 |
| IanPM-W | I suspect I can fix my eth0 problem with a fresh install | 12:43 |
| IanPM-W | now wondering if the 11.10 nightly is stable enough for me | 12:43 |
| Cycovince | glenn = sudo apt-get update in a terminal will tell you | 12:43 |
| PythonSnake | Hi I want to dual boot ubuntu and windows 7. Can anyone tell me how to partition a 320gb please ? 1 ntfs for windows, 1ntfs for data, and the rest for linux | 12:43 |
| IanPM-W | although I see they are ditching synaptic :o | 12:43 |
| oCean | glenn: update manager will tell you if updates are available (in any enabled repository) | 12:43 |
| === tom_ is now known as TvL2386 | ||
| oCean | IanPM-W: 11.10 is alpha release | 12:44 |
| glenn | Ocean where can i see i update manger is on or off | 12:44 |
| IanPM-W | yeah oCean | 12:44 |
| oCean | IanPM-W: then use #ubuntu+1 channel | 12:44 |
| IanPM-W | I like flying by the seat of my pants :) | 12:44 |
| oCean | IanPM-W: not here | 12:45 |
| IanPM-W | hehe, okay | 12:45 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: your ubuntu needs 8GB at min. It will be enough for games and productivity software if you give it 20-30G. So 100G for Winz + 30G for linux and 190GB for your /home on linux and D: on windoz | 12:47 |
| craigbass1976 | What's the rig up in the corner (upper right) of a new lucid install called? It's got to do with chat and broadcast. | 12:48 |
| PythonSnake | 2 | 12:48 |
| leagris | PythonSnake, you would be good at 50Gb for Linux but safer with 100Gb, reserve also some partition 1.5× or 2×RAM size for swap and whatever size for linux home, really depend your needs. | 12:48 |
| glenn | is there a icon that say there are upgrades in the upgrade manager | 12:48 |
| royale1223 | how do i add prefix in first n lines using sed? | 12:48 |
| leagris | glenn, there used to be. Now update-manager window just pop. | 12:49 |
| daedra | Ubuntu 11.04, Unity desktop environment, TwinView: the vertical application launch bar appears on the RIGHT screen, but is activated by moving the mouse to the left edge of the LEFT screen. This is VERY annoying. How do I fix it? I know I can press Super key to activate it but I still have to mosey on down to the right screen to launch apps :S | 12:49 |
| PythonSnake | /home and D:/ can be on same partition ? | 12:50 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: during install you should choose separate but small home partition (aka 100MB). After booting to linux you will need edit your /etc/fstab and set your third partition as home of ntfs type | 12:50 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: yep, it can | 12:50 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: so you will have acces to your files from both OSes | 12:51 |
| unstopable731 | hi | 12:51 |
| PythonSnake | how much linux needs again ? | 12:52 |
| PythonSnake | 20gb ? | 12:52 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: lets not start this again | 12:52 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: people have just told you | 12:52 |
| unstopable731 | hi | 12:52 |
| chaddy | PythonSnake: some sort of scrollback function is called for | 12:52 |
| TornUp | Hello everyone, i was wondering if you could help me with a problem im having with apache not starting up on port:80 HTTP but its working on port:443 HTTPS? | 12:52 |
| ikonia | TornUp: what ubuntu version ? | 12:53 |
| TornUp | 10.10? | 12:54 |
| PythonSnake | so 20gb and 4gb of swap as I have 2gb ram | 12:54 |
| PythonSnake | that's all ? | 12:54 |
| leagris | TornUp, check apache logs, then check port 80 not already used by some other process (sudo fuser -n tcp 80 -v), then check apache config | 12:54 |
| ikonia | TornUp: how did you install apache ? | 12:54 |
| Clerisy | when I put my mouse over the "minimize maximise close" buttons on any video players, it crashes my system and sends me back to login? | 12:55 |
| leagris | PythonSnake, 20Gb may be ok now but as you upgrade/install it will show too short and you will end up with a non extendable partition in middle of others. 50 or 100 Gb would be a safer size | 12:55 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: [phys #1 100GB ntfs windows][phys #2 190GB ntfs home][phys #3 extended ubuntu]->[#5 swap; #6 100MB temphome; #7 / ] | 12:55 |
| ikonia | leagris: nonsense | 12:55 |
| ikonia | leagris: a base ubuntu install is 2GB - an over the top one is about 5GB - the reset is user data | 12:56 |
| PythonSnake | extended ? | 12:56 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: it doesn't matter | 12:56 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: you do not need 4G swap nowadays. You need size of ram + 64MB if you plan to use hibernation or some 256-512MB if you do not. | 12:56 |
| TornUp | ikonia: we have just taken over ownership of the server so im not sure how it was installed... | 12:57 |
| ikonia | TornUp: look at the config then see what it's set to listen on | 12:57 |
| sachin | half an hour still no reply. can it get worse | 12:57 |
| TornUp | leagris: sorry, how am i able to access the support logs? | 12:57 |
| ohir | ikonia: fresh users tend to install tons of apps for try, so 20GB /usr is now a norm. | 12:57 |
| ikonia | ohir: that' massivly over the top | 12:58 |
| ohir | ikonia: after year or two they will know what they like so next install will use a fourth of said 20G ;) | 12:58 |
| Pici | ohir: There is no need for a regular user to separately partition anything other than / and perhaps /home/ | 12:58 |
| leagris | TornUp, /var/log/apache2/error.log is a good start | 12:58 |
| ohir | Pici: read log. He asked how to get best of two worlds. | 12:59 |
| === mino_ is now known as mino | ||
| ohir | Pici: so he got advise how to share home partition | 12:59 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: also do NOT turn on home encryption, as encrypted files will NOT be avaliable then under windows. | 13:00 |
| Pici | ohir: That has little bearing on how the root partition should be sized. | 13:00 |
| TornUp | Guys, this is the config file for the primary domain in the sites-avaliable folder: http://pastebin.com/7Nxytmvz | 13:00 |
| hammoommah | if im using cheap terminals with itsp server should i put ubuntu server edition on server or will desktop edition work? | 13:00 |
| leagris | TornUp, actually here 33Gb used for / and 13Gb for home | 13:00 |
| PythonSnake | ohir: Can I put password ? | 13:01 |
| hammoommah | and if i put server edition on can i use as client pc at same time? | 13:01 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: you may do .private folder later. There are howtos on ubuntu forums. | 13:02 |
| Pici | ohir, PythonSnake: NTFS as your /home parition will not work. It does not support the same security as linux filesystems use. | 13:02 |
| ohir | PythonSnake: and your linux will ask password unless told to automatically log you in (what is discouraged of course) | 13:03 |
| leagris | hammoommah, server version install a specific kernel and some different default packages but it is perfectly usable as a desktop or client | 13:03 |
| hammoommah | thanks leagris | 13:03 |
| === FiresOut is now known as o0oScoRcHo0o | ||
| hammoommah | and by specific kernel you mean..... | 13:03 |
| ohir | Pici: funny said. Works since ntfs gained rw :> | 13:05 |
| ohir | Pici: and do read more 'bout ntfs. | 13:06 |
| Pici | ohir: NTFS does not support per-user permissions. Sure, you can mount it somewhere, but don't expect to be able to have discrete security per file. | 13:06 |
| Pici | ohir: I'm well aware of how NTFS works on both Windows and Linux. | 13:06 |
| sabgenton | --block-size=1 produces different results when used with du oposed to ls | 13:06 |
| Pici | ohir: Clarification: NTFS does not support per-user permissions on Linux. | 13:06 |
| sabgenton | whats up with that? | 13:06 |
| ohir | Pici: this is home user with small hdd. And these 190G shared means that he can watch his videos on both systems i.e. | 13:07 |
| ohir | Pici: fyi my home is on truecrypted ntfs while os is on luks partitions. And will stay on ntfs until some good team will do visio for linux I need sometimes to do my work. | 13:08 |
| leagris | hammoommah, the server kernel has different optimizations turned on, manage bigger memory sizes, has enabled support for hosting virtual hosts, may not provide realtime interaction with gui because of different scheduler settings. You may not notice the difference by the way. | 13:09 |
| ohir | Pici: and works this way for some three or four years now | 13:09 |
| bazhang | ohir, dont recommend ntfs here. | 13:10 |
| gry | wow | 13:10 |
| bazhang | ohir, for shared data its fine, but "works for me" for /home is not a good idea in any way shape or form | 13:10 |
| ohir | bazhang: its only option for people who have to or want to dual-boot | 13:10 |
| dbugger | is there in unity hotkeys for docking? | 13:10 |
| bazhang | ohir, thats simply not so | 13:10 |
| gry | ohir, i'm using ext4 on linux partition | 13:10 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| TornUp | guys, just looked through the error.log.... cant find anything about conflict of port... | 13:11 |
| bazhang | ohir, you are free to do what you wish, please do not recommend it here. | 13:11 |
| ohir | bazhang: that simply is | 13:11 |
| llutz | ohir: no need to have /home on ntfs when dual-booting. shared ntfs-partition, mounted somewhere in $HOME/data does fine | 13:11 |
| oCean | TornUp: so there a process actually listening at :80 ? | 13:11 |
| ohir | llutz: yep, thats better | 13:11 |
| gry | ohir, I'm using ext4 on linux partition and ntfs in windows partition, linux manages to read both of them fine | 13:11 |
| PythonSnake | Can WIndows access ext4 ? | 13:12 |
| gry | ohir, it's not necessary to use ntfs when you dual boot | 13:12 |
| jpds | PythonSnake: No. | 13:12 |
| Clerisy | when I put my mouse over the "minimize maximise close" buttons on any video players, it crashes my system and sends me back to login? | 13:12 |
| TornUp | oCean: how do i check? | 13:12 |
| gry | PythonSnake, if you set some things up, it should be able to, I don't remmeber the names but I'm sure someone did that | 13:12 |
| oCean | TornUp: run in terminal sudo netstat -tulpa | 13:12 |
| PythonSnake | so I need 2 separate partitions one ntfs and another ext4 | 13:12 |
| ohir | llutz: just new user can not in advance estimate how big his or her home will be. And windoz customs prevent him or her from thinking before putting file | 13:12 |
| Pici | gry: Thats for ext3/ext2, not ext4 | 13:12 |
| pandote | hi | 13:12 |
| jo-erlend | PythonSnake, there are ext4 drivers for Windows. | 13:13 |
| pandote | how i can agree more | 13:13 |
| pandote | desks | 13:13 |
| pandote | ? | 13:13 |
| PythonSnake | oh | 13:13 |
| jpds | jo-erlend: Have you tried that recently? They don't work. | 13:13 |
| PythonSnake | Why not create ntfs for both windows and linux | 13:13 |
| TornUp | oCean: http://pastebin.com/urPewfZp | 13:13 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: stable and rw? gimme a link. | 13:13 |
| gry | PythonSnake, just run the installer, it'll take care of that -- before installing linux, do '"defragment" your windows partition first -- a web search can give you more instructions on that | 13:13 |
| bazhang | PythonSnake, that simply does not work | 13:13 |
| leagris | For information. I tried btrfs on spinning disk both for / and /ome partitions. Installation and working ok except some wired message about environment at boot asking to press enter. Other than that, performances where like halves as with ext4. I went back to ext4 then. | 13:13 |
| gummybear | I've got 11.04 desktop on a desktop machine and I'm thinking of setting it up as the server for a vpn setup, do I need to reinstall with server edition or can I just add whatever packages I may need? | 13:13 |
| gry | Pici, if you have a command to check ext? I have, I'll check | 13:13 |
| PythonSnake | bazhang: why | 13:14 |
| jo-erlend | jpds, ohir; no I haven't tried them recently. | 13:14 |
| Pici | gry: mount | 13:14 |
| llutz | ohir: no extra home at all, just let them put their personal stuff on the ntfs-partition and they don't have to worry about /home-size | 13:14 |
| Pici | gummybear: Just add the packages you need. | 13:14 |
| gummybear | pici: thank you | 13:14 |

| jo-erlend | ohir, I haven't recommended anything. I said there are ext4 drivers for Windows. | 13:15 |
| ohir | llutz: so it equals. My advice was for a linux newbie with home box | 13:15 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: no, they do not exist yet. They are still mere tries. | 13:16 |
| TornUp | oCean: in the intrest of not missing a message from you, are you happy if i open a PM with you? My neck is on the chopping block with this server being down!... | 13:16 |

| neurochrome | Been having video troubles recently... Anyone else? Basically when I load firefox and there is a YouTube tab open; the video that is loaded is stuck on a layer, so when I open totem or certain other apps that use that layer, the youtube video is still visible - even AFTER I close the YouTube tab/page down. | 13:17 |
| neurochrome | any fix for this? | 13:18 |

| andregabriel | how do I hide this joined/quit messages it gets confusing with the actual converstions.? | 13:20 |
| bazhang | andregabriel, what client | 13:20 |
| ohir | Pici: add umask and 0711 on /home inode and you are as safe as on ext4 | 13:20 |
| andregabriel | @bazhang, didn't understand your question. | 13:21 |
| bazhang | andregabriel, ah the gateway client, not sure about that sorry. perhaps #freenode can help | 13:21 |
| jo-erlend | <ohir> jo-erlend: so why do you recommend it? Its safer to do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourtobepastlinuxext4partition <--- why would you want to do that? | 13:22 |

| demonboy | anywho i need some help finding/installing a driver | 13:24 |
| bazhang | demonboy, for what | 13:24 |
| jophish_ | Hi all! | 13:24 |
| jophish_ | I'm running 10.04, if I upgrade to latest, will I get the multiarch /usr? | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | andregabriel: what program do you use for IRC? | 13:24 |
| demonboy | hang on i forgot its name lol | 13:24 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip, gateway client | 13:24 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: they're getting help in #freenode | 13:24 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: it was elipsis. To show what "ext4 driver for windowz" will do | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Pici: cool | 13:24 |
| demonboy | its for atheros AR8152 | 13:25 |
| demonboy | its a wireless card | 13:25 |
| jo-erlend | demonboy, isn't that provided by jockey? | 13:26 |
| andregabriel | sharing my most recent knowledge :) - if you want to hide joined/quit messages click on the top left button --> options. | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: you can use 32bit apps in 64bit OS with ia32-libs you will need to manually satisfy 32bit lib deps too. | 13:26 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: there is no ext4 support for windows, there in fact is no reliable ext3 support for windows. | 13:26 |
| jophish_ | ActionParsnip: Sure, I understand that. But will upgrading change the directory structure under /usr | 13:26 |
| === Krabbe is now known as krabbe | ||

| === aknm is now known as monk | ||
| jo-erlend | ohir, I don't know why you're going on about this. But in the future, I don't think you should say things like that without making it very clear that you're joking. After all, the consequence would be a total loss of data. | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: how do you mean "upgrading"? | 13:28 |
| jophish_ | ActionParsnip: dist-upgrade | 13:28 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: but ntfs is solid rock supported under linux. And for single user having whole /home under his or her uid/gid is no less secure than having /home/user under full unix acls | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: do you mean to the next release? | 13:28 |
| jophish_ | ActionParsnip: well, to the current one | 13:28 |
| jophish_ | I'm running 10.04 | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: you can run: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and you willnot change release | 13:28 |
| bazhang | ohir, please lets move on. what works for you is not supported here. in future do not recommend a /ntfs home | 13:29 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: can you show me ls -la /dev/yourtobepastlinuxext4partition on your system? :> | 13:29 |
| rns | what's better for a server - ubuntu 10 or 11? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: to upgrade from Lucid you will need to upgrade to Maverick first, then upgrade to Natty | 13:29 |
| jo-erlend | ohir, please stop. I have never recommended anything. I don't know what you were talking about. He asked if it was possible to use ext from windows and it is. That's not a recommendation. | 13:29 |
| jophish_ | ActionParsnip: that's not a problem | 13:29 |
| DarsVaeda | hi, how can I drag not fullsized windows to the top bar on gnome natty without the darn thing going fullsize? | 13:29 |

| jophish_ | but will the structure under usr change? | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | rns: 10.04 server is supported for a lot longer | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: not hugely, no | 13:29 |
| craigbass1976 | WHere's the best "desktop guide for dummies" out there. I'm wondering how to use the chat thing up near my clock and can't figure it out | 13:30 |
| ohir | jo-erlend: you'd be right only if said command would be prefixed with sudo. EOT. | 13:30 |
| jo-erlend | craigbass1976, can you be more specific? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !manual | craigbass1976 may help | 13:32 |

| jophish_ | ActionParsnip: I ws talking about this: http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/ | 13:32 |
| jo-erlend | ActionParsnip, it won't help if he's using 10.04 and talking about the status text input field. Think that was removed after 10.04? | 13:33 |
| craigbass1976 | jo-erlend, it's my isername with a little chat bubble next to it. Fresh lucid install. Clicking on it brings a menu down with different chat statuses, a link to ubuntu one, and broadcast. I've set up my gmail and yahoo accounts to work with it, but can't figur eout how to chat with anyone. Odd, I just set up nfs and samba shares in record time, but I get kaiboshed with stupid things like this... | 13:33 |
| ohir | llutz: you are right though. Its better to recommend mounting ntfs under $HOME/WINSHARE or like. | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jophish_: ia32-libs will allow you to run 32bit apps on 64bit OS, you could also install a 32bit OS someplace and chroot :) | 13:33 |
| jo-erlend | craigbass1976, that's only for setting status. Your roster is in the messages menu, with the envelope on it. | 13:34 |

| iceroot | !backtrack | demonboy | 13:53 |
| ubottu | demonboy: 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 | 13:53 |
| demonboy | iceroot so u told the bot to say tht message right | 13:54 |
| iceroot | demonboy: correct | 13:54 |
| demonboy | ok | 13:54 |
| demonboy | so yal cant provide the driver because its backtrack | 13:54 |

| demonboy | but its still ubuntu is it not | 13:55 |
| demonboy | the drivers will be the same | 13:55 |
| iceroot | demonboy: please stop it here and ask them | 13:56 |

| rns | i fI install pacakges with apt-get, and then I do apt-get upgrade, will it only add bug fixes or will it upgrade to the latest version of the pacakge? | 14:02 |
| iceroot | rns: only security-updates | 14:02 |
| rns | iceroot, so I would need to manually upgrade to a new version? | 14:05 |
| bazhang | rns, firefox? | 14:06 |
| bazhang | rns, firefox is a security update in this case | 14:06 |
| bazhang | rns, if you are on 11.04 simply sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade will leave you with firefox 5 | 14:08 |
| rns | bazhang, so if I had django running on my system and I did sudo apt-get update it would only give me security updates? | 14:10 |

| root_____ | hi | 14:11 |
| chaddy | rns: update updates your sources | 14:11 |
| rns | chaddy, so does that mean it gives me the latest version if available, or just does security updates? | 14:12 |
| root_____ | mrtg with ubuntu 10.10 index maker error in line 353 | 14:12 |
| chaddy | afaik rns it just updates your sources and recommends upgrades | 14:13 |
| iceroot | !backports | rns | 14:13 |
| ubottu | rns: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 14:13 |
| iceroot | rns: chaddy is wrong apt-get upgrade will upgrade your packages to the newest version form the repos. and newest version = security update | 14:13 |
| rns | iceroot, so using firefox as an example - would apt-get upgrade take me from FF4 to FF5? | 14:14 |
| iceroot | rns: in 11.04 yes bit that is a special case | 14:15 |
| rns | iceroot, or for django, from django 1.0 to django 1.3? | 14:15 |
| iceroot | rns: with other programs you only get the security update | 14:15 |
| iceroot | rns: no | 14:15 |

| iceroot | chaddy: there was no question about update but lets move on | 14:17 |
| rns | iceroot, okay, so if I just want security updates, but I don't want to upgrade the version of the package, then I use apt-get update? | 14:17 |
| iceroot | rns: no | 14:17 |

| freebsd_fan | usually | 14:54 |
| szal | à propos kernels: what's *buntu's default behaviour when installing new kernels, e.g. updates? does it keep the kernel(s) that was/were already installed? | 14:54 |
| iceroot | freebsd_fan: if using amd64, yes | 14:54 |
| freebsd_fan | i have amd opteron 248 | 14:55 |
| dr_willis | szal, yep. it only shows a few of them by default | 14:55 |
| freebsd_fan | i think its 64bit | 14:55 |
| glenn_ | chaddy, i can't find it i have the dutch version | 14:55 |
| szal | iceroot: I ran the last update on Wed or so, and then there was no new kernel | 14:55 |

| velis | hello. I was wondering if I might have a common issue: when I boot 11.04 64bit livecd, the system "freezes" right before fully rendering the "install" application window | 15:04 |
| velis | Then the screen flashes really slowly (once per 5 seconds). There is *some* responsiveness to keyboard (pressing up/down changes the install app title, but it's negligible | 15:04 |
| velis | Switching to 32 bit gives me even more pain and it never reaches the "install" app window. Using E8400 on P35 with ATI 5870 and 6GB RAM | 15:04 |

| airtonix | my enter key only works every 5 minutes, so i am forced to type my thoughts into proper paragraphs. | 15:05 |

| wrek-gar | everytime wifi connects this message shows up "Enter password to unlock your login keyring." is there something that needs to be changed? | 15:19 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, its doable.. doing it right now | 15:19 |
| ChaosSaber | Thanks | 15:19 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, be sure grub installs to the mbr of the exterbnal hd | 15:19 |
| rns | so I just did "mv log /linode" where log was a text file and linode was a folder in the same directory. log has disappeared and doesn't show up on a file system search. What just happened? | 15:19 |
| ChaosSaber | are they on the site? | 15:20 |
| === aaaaaaaaaaa is now known as Dekroerm | ||
| ikonia | rns: you moved the file/directory log into /linode | 15:20 |
| edbian | ChaosSaber: Are what on the site? | 15:20 |
| rns | ikonia, but it's not in /linode | 15:20 |
| ikonia | rns: that's where you moved it | 15:20 |
| NoWayJose | EndorphinE, Pc770 pcmcia | 15:20 |
| ChaosSaber | I'm not sure edbian | 15:20 |
| edbian | rns: It's in linode (a folder in /) | 15:20 |
| edbian | ChaosSaber: ? It's a question you asked | 15:20 |
| ChaosSaber | how do I grab the mbr | 15:21 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, the proper dd command can copy the mbr to a file | 15:21 |
| rns | edbian, so it's all the way in my root directory? Not the directory where I ran the command? | 15:21 |
| dr_willis | !grub2 | 15:21 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 15:21 |
| edbian | ChaosSaber: The MBR is the master boot record. It is a portion of your harddrive. The installs puts grub the bootloader in it so you can boot Ubuntu (well part of grub anyway, it doesn't all fit) | 15:21 |
| EndorphinE | NoWayJose: Did you try to search the internet ? Did not have such device :( | 15:21 |
| andregabriel | hello, I can get past this error: unitialized constant bundler... i read several threads but no success with it... I guess it has something to do with path. One thread told to run gem list -d bur? get the installed folder and at /etc/profile put the lines $GEM_HOME="installed PATH" and export $GEM_HOME but that didnt solve the problem... still getting constant bundler unitialized... | 15:21 |
| ikonia | rns: no, the / puts it into / so /linode = / with a directory called linode | 15:22 |
| edbian | rns: Because you gave it /linode (meaning a folder named linode in /) not just linode (meaning a folder in this folder) | 15:22 |
| paul_ | newbie here. hello. just wanted to know what file i should edit to get things to run at startup. I installed x on ubuntu server but have to manually type in startx everytime i boot. Is there an easy way to get this running at start and also a few other commands after? Anyone??? | 15:22 |
| NoWayJose | EndorphinE, Yes I have tried. I can't find anything to assist me. | 15:22 |
| ChaosSaber | ok so I can copy that from my main drive or how would I go about doing that | 15:22 |
| rns | edbian, ahh I found it. But it's not a folder - log is still a file but now it's named linode | 15:22 |
| dr_willis | paul_, install gdm or some oher login manager service to auto start the X login gui | 15:22 |
| paul_ | thanks | 15:22 |
| wrek-gar | everytime wifi connects this message shows up "Enter password to unlock your login keyring." is there something that needs to be changed? | 15:23 |
| edbian | rns: If there was no folder /linode (a folder named linode in /) then the command would have created a file named linode in root (that is actually log) | 15:23 |
| compdoc | I hate that keyring thing | 15:23 |
| dr_willis | wrek-gar, enter yiou rkeyring password... or set it to blank - so it never uses the keyring | 15:23 |
| paul_ | is that all i have to do and it auto starts? seems easy. great | 15:23 |
| edbian | file != folder | 15:23 |
| rns | edbian, so now it's not letting me delete the file from my gui | 15:23 |
| dr_willis | paul_, gdm is the X login manager.. thats itsz job.. so yes.. | 15:23 |
| wrek-gar | dr_willis: how? | 15:23 |
| dr_willis | !keyring | 15:23 |
| creep | test | 15:23 |
| edbian | rns: The gui is not root so it cannot edit things in / | 15:24 |
| paul_ | dr_willis . thanks. | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | wrek-gar, change the keyring password, set the default password to be blank. | 15:24 |
| edbian | rns: I presume you actually run sudo mv log /linode | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | wrek-gar, run the seahorse program, set the login passwod i think, check the right click menus | 15:24 |
| rns | edbian, yes I used sudo | 15:24 |
| paul_ | and if i want to start other things (AFTER) x has started where would I put those things? | 15:24 |
| dr_willis | paul_, depends on what widow manager/desktop | 15:24 |
| rns | edbian, so I have to use absolute paths when using the mv command? Are there any shortcuts for this? | 15:25 |
| dr_willis | !autostart | 15:25 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 15:25 |
| edbian | rns: That made you root when you did it so the new file /linode which is actually a moved and renamed log is owned by root. You need to be root to edit it | 15:25 |
| andregabriel | any help for me? | 15:25 |
| viittorinooo | hola | 15:25 |

| omidp | can anyone help me with Xen hypervisor? | 15:26 |
| ChaosSaber | Ok I think I got it now, when I install ubuntu, it will grab the mbr? | 15:26 |

| edbian | rns: If there is a folder in your current working directory it would find it. (yes) | 15:26 |
| auero | chaddy: thanks! | 15:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | !webmin | viittorinooo | 15:27 |
| dr_willis | viittorinooo, webmin dosent work very well with ubuntu. best to use some other tool | 15:27 |
| ubottu | viittorinooo: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:27 |
| viittorinooo | ahh ok | 15:27 |
| ChaosSaber | dr_willis I'm not sure, you said I needed the mbr, I don't know how to get it to run my external as a bootable drive | 15:27 |

| Lars__ | hey everyone, I have gapless playback of OGG files but a tiny gap for MP3 in all mainstream players. | 15:35 |
| Lars__ | This problem is driving me back to windows as I'm an audiophile | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | OCD sounds like... | 15:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | JCP123, i've read that applications programed in .NET in Windows MAY NOT run under mono in GNU/Linux... But I have no knowledge of the specifics. | 15:36 |
| dr_willis | proberly some plugins/addons for some of the players for gapless playback.. | 15:36 |
| bazhang | Lars__, banshee has settings for that | 15:37 |
| JCP123 | I have the vb dll, how do i direct mono to use it just for this app?? | 15:37 |
| Lars__ | @bazhang, for some reason the gapless setting does not work | 15:38 |
| stephanmg | hello. | 15:38 |
| bazhang | Lars__, thats odd, works great here | 15:38 |
| Lars__ | and not when I sync to my MP3 player or my iPod either, even when there should be a gapless tag written into the metadata | 15:38 |
| stephanmg | what's the way to install a missing ruby gem under ubuntu? gem install $foo? | 15:38 |
| user82 | how can i mux a mp4 (from raw h264 and aac)? (need a tool. cli or gui) | 15:40 |
| heynow | hello, i got this problem. I want to creat user "guest" with very few possibilities and make it default to login & no need to apply passwd | 15:40 |
| Lars__ | i'm really missing winamp | 15:40 |
| heynow | i know how to create user but i donno how to make it default | 15:40 |
| heynow | and also disable passwd | 15:41 |

| oCean | :) | 15:41 |
| glenn_ | how can i update open office to version 3.3 | 15:42 |
| Lars__ | could the gapless playback problem be to do with the fluendo or gstreamer plugins, not the player? | 15:42 |
| Daniel0108 | hi! I have a SD-card reader, but if I insert a card, Ubuntu doesn't recognize it. I have to restart my laptop with the SD-card *inserted* to access the data on the card. How can I fix that? | 15:42 |
| Daniel0108 | lspci outputs: 0a:00.2 SD Host controller: JMicron Technology Corp. Standard SD Host Controller | 15:43 |
| green91 | daniel0108: you will likely need to mount it | 15:43 |
| heynow | How to set user "x" as default and make it no need of passwd??? | 15:43 |
| Daniel0108 | green91: I can't, because it's not in /media | 15:43 |
| daedra | Help! my wired USB mouse jitters/lags under Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64. I've tried it under Centos and Windows 7 and it works, so it's definitely an Ubuntu fault. Any ideas? | 15:43 |
| bazhang | glenn_, what version of ubuntu | 15:44 |
| chaddy | daedra: got a usb>ps2 adapter? | 15:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | Daniel0108, /media/* is a mount point - you need to specify the device/partition like /dev/sdb1 | 15:44 |
| chaddy | if yes, try that | 15:44 |
| green91 | Daniel0108: its not in /media because the card isnt mounted. use fdisk -l to find the drive name for the card, and then use the mount command | 15:44 |
| Daniel0108 | green91: and there is the problem.. fdisk -l doesn't list it. | 15:45 |
| Daniel0108 | ZykoticK9: oh, I thought it auto-mounts ;) | 15:45 |
| green91 | some do, some dont lol | 15:45 |
| reed | hello all | 15:45 |
| daedra | chaddy: the laptop doesn't have a PS2 in | 15:45 |
| daedra | chaddy: so that' irrelevant. | 15:46 |
| Jordan_U | JCP123: Mono doesn't support Windows DLLs any more than Java or any other cross platform VM does. If you need to use a Windows dll then run the entire program within wine, after installing the Windows version of .net within wine. | 15:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Daniel0108, if "sudo fdisk -l" is showing it... you do have an issue... best of luck - sorry I don't have any suggestions. | 15:46 |
| chaddy | just trying to help, no need to be cheeky | 15:46 |

| reed | I'm running 10.04 with the official mozilla ppa: Ubuntu official repo is trying to updated XUL-runner 3.6.x while Mozilla PPA wants to upgrade to Firefox 5... is it safe to install both? | 15:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Daniel0108, /is showing/is not showing/ | 15:46 |
| Daniel0108 | ZykoticK9: sudo fdisk -l doesn't show it :/ | 15:46 |
| Daniel0108 | ZykoticK9: but it works if I restart with the inserted card | 15:47 |
| green91 | Daniel0108: you will likely have to modprobe the device to bring it online to show in fdisk -l | 15:47 |
| Daniel0108 | green91: yeah, but how :/ | 15:47 |
| fsdfsdf | small favour: i'm on webirc and need to know how many users are in the channel, can someone check? <3 | 15:47 |
| Daniel0108 | green91: I have Ubuntu 11.04, btw | 15:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | fsdfsdf, 1499 | 15:47 |
| green91 | i would reboot the system with sd card installed and read the dmesg to see hwat module is loaded for the card | 15:47 |
| fsdfsdf | thanks :) | 15:48 |
| iridium | Daniel0108, extract it, insert it again, and output of, dmesg | pastebinit | 15:48 |
| Daniel0108 | green91: okay, thank you, good idea :) | 15:48 |
| green91 | would be easier than guessing or looking up the model of the reader | 15:48 |
| chaddy | daedra: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1732244 . renicing, might be you need to disable your trackpad, though | 15:48 |

| doug_ | I just converted an IPv6 enabled firewall over from slackware to ubuntu-server 10.04. It had been working flawlessly on IPv6 prior to the switchover. Now, it will run for a day or two, and it will just stop responding to IPv6 on the physical interfaces to LANs, but continues to work on IPv4 just fine. In my searches, I haven't been able to find any info on this. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a possible solution? | 15:50 |
| iridium | that's weird, is USB? | 15:50 |
| green91 | pretty much all sd card are usb even if they are internal | 15:50 |
| Daniel0108 | iridium: what shall I do? :P | 15:51 |
| iridium | if its USB, lsusb command should show it | 15:51 |
| iridium | if not, do what ZykoticK9 suggested | 15:51 |

| * xxiao spent one hour on this grub 1.99+ thing on ubuntu 10.04 | 15:53 | |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, do you have more then one GNU/Linux installed on your computer? | 15:53 |
| bazhang | free122448, #ubuntu-cn for chinese | 15:53 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: i have one on sda1, one on sda7, one on sdb2 | 15:53 |
| CooKieMonster | what is ubuntu 11 live ? | 15:53 |
| CooKieMonster | why live ? | 15:53 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: it only shows menus on sda1 and sda7 | 15:54 |
| xxiao | i even put a 06_mysdb2_ubuntu in /etc/grub.d | 15:54 |
| Daniel0108 | CooKieMonster: are you talking about Ubuntu 11.04 Live? | 15:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, whichever you installed Last is most likely the Grub that is in control - be sure you are running "update-grub2" from the correct install | 15:54 |
| CooKieMonster | yeah | 15:54 |
| Daniel0108 | CooKieMonster: Live means, you boot it from CD | 15:54 |
| bhavesh | Is there any way to configure(add item to) DEP(Data Execution Prevention)? in wine? | 15:54 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: but...it's grub 1.99+ so i run update-grub instead of update-grub2 | 15:54 |
| Daniel0108 | CooKieMonster: it won't modify your data, just boot. If you shutdown, everything is lost. | 15:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, actually 1.99 is infact Grub2 | 15:55 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: are you saying i should run update-grub2 after i made those changes? | 15:55 |
| bhavesh | ata Execution Prevention (DEP) configuration can be found at the following place in Windows: Control Panel > System Security > System > Advanced system Settings > Advanced tab > Performance > Data Execution Prevention. | 15:55 |
| xxiao | hmm...but update-grub indeed updated grub.cfg | 15:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, you need to run update-grub after ANY changes to /etc/default/grub | 15:55 |
| xxiao | and a reboot did not show the updated menus | 15:55 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: yes i did that | 15:55 |
| bazhang | bhavesh, #winehq | 15:55 |
| CooKieMonster | it's 11.04 version available now ? | 15:55 |
| bhavesh | ok | 15:55 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: i also compared the new grub.cfg, the os_prober does find my sdb2 ubuntu | 15:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, so - are you running this from your most currently installed gnu/linux? | 15:56 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: yes | 15:56 |
| ChaosSaber | Do you just format normaly if you want it to be a windows drive again? | 15:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | xxiao, then i can't explain what's happening. Best of luck! | 15:56 |
| xxiao | ZykoticK9: thanks | 15:56 |

| bhavesh | bazhang: WineHQ ppl said Data Execution Prevention is handled by kernal and not wine. So how can I change DEP list in ubuntu 10.10 or is setting permission for execution of a .exe in properties the same thing? | 16:02 |
| bhavesh | I want to exclude an .exe from DEP list | 16:03 |
| deem | just give it the executable bit? or do i missunderstand you? | 16:03 |

| bhavesh | qin: http://blog.robin.smidsrod.no/2010/05/08/are-you-unable-to-run-the-javame-sdk-3-0 < this website says I need to exclude an .exe from DEP.. So it would mean mostly allowing its execution bit on ubuntu | 16:04 |
| bhavesh | and I guess I did enabled execution bit | 16:05 |
| deem | bhavesh: this workaround is for windows 7, not linux | 16:05 |
| siavoshkc | bhavesh: means it has problem with DEP | 16:05 |
| bhavesh | deem: yes but I used wine and on wineHQ they said DEP is handled by Kernal and not wine | 16:06 |

| eiriksvin | yeah, I actually kinda am paranoid, the guy I got the comp from was kinda weird | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | use dd to zero them out if you want | 16:31 |
| eiriksvin | I got the thing cheap, but I have changed everything on it, I even went so far as to change the mac addy for the wifi card | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | you are being paranoid... | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:32 |
| eiriksvin | yes, but its better to be safe than sorry in America these days | 16:33 |
| eiriksvin | I don't want to get put in prison because some other weirdo got rid of his comp cus he was looking at child porn | 16:33 |
| eiriksvin | the dude sold it at a yardsale, for a very low price | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | I think this is getting beyond paranoid. | 16:34 |
| oCean | ok, let's move back on topic, ok? | 16:34 |
| ChaosSaber | the chance of that happening is pretty slim unless you're doing things on it that the feds are watching | 16:34 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:34 |
| eiriksvin | let me repeat, I am not, but the wierd old guy may have | 16:35 |
| eiriksvin | whats dd? | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | !info dd | 16:36 |
| ubottu | Package dd does not exist in natty | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | try man dd | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | dd = data dump | 16:36 |
| dr_willis | formating the hd is more then enough. | 16:36 |
| daedra | Help! my wired USB mouse jitters/lags under Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64. I've tried it under Centos and Windows 7 and it works, so it's definitely an Ubuntu fault. Any ideas? | 16:37 |
| qin | eiriksvin: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Hardware/Clean_Hard_Drive_zero_fill | 16:38 |
| andregabriel | any help for my problem?? https://gist.github.com/1044960 | 16:38 |
| dr_willis | daedra, try it under the older and newer releases? see if theres some info on it at the askubuntu.com site or forums | 16:38 |
| ChaosSaber | cleaning off this drive so I can install this, I know once I install it this will put a boot menu in, if I delete ubuntu wll that remove the boot menu or would I have to format my main drive also | 16:38 |
| dr_willis | formating does not remove the MBR iof the disk... | 16:39 |
| ChaosSaber | I know you can shorten the boot menu time, but was just wondering | 16:39 |
| dr_willis | and formating drive #3 will not affect drive #1 | 16:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, if you think you will be removing Ubuntu - then perhaps you should just use Wubi (install inside Windows) | 16:39 |
| daedra | dr_willis: it's Ubuntu 11.04 specifically. I'll have a look at askubuntu though. | 16:39 |
| dr_willis | Or just try ubuntu inside virtualbox. | 16:39 |
| bluenovember | oCean, sorsy I missed your message | 16:39 |
| ChaosSaber | I'm going to put this on a internal drive but was just wondering | 16:40 |
| bluenovember | oCean, it's the default player installed with ubuntu | 16:40 |
| ChaosSaber | I was going to use an external but went ahead and cleaned off my internal | 16:40 |
| bluenovember | oCean, movie player | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, if you have one hard drive just for linux. (2 real drives, not just 1 drive partuioned) you can put grub on that HD. and leave the windows hd alone. | 16:40 |
| ChaosSaber | yeah this will be on a single drive | 16:41 |
| oCean | bluenovember: try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras. Comes with several 'restricted' codecs, fonts, etc | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, so you have in fact 2 hard drives.. | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | Plus any externals.. | 16:41 |
| ChaosSaber | yeah | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | That makes it easier. | 16:41 |
| bluenovember | oCean, thanks, trying that now | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | if you are going to use the whold of the HD. you can just reformat it from the installer.. no need to 'clean' it from windows | 16:42 |
| bluenovember | oCean, why doesn't it play mp3 by default? seems pretty basic feature | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | bluenovember, legal reasons | 16:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluenemo_, MP3 is NOT an open format! | 16:42 |
| daedra | My lagging mouse has finally frozen | 16:42 |
| daedra | odd | 16:42 |
| bluenovember | oh | 16:42 |
| bluenovember | weird | 16:42 |
| bluenovember | strAnge you might say | 16:42 |
| bluenovember | vEry StrAnge | 16:42 |
| oCean | bluenovember: more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | why use mp3 at all in this day :) | 16:43 |
| spvensko | hi, can evince not be used to extract a portion of a PDF document out? | 16:43 |
| bhavesh | qin: I could emulate my Java ME app with and external emulator (MicroEmulator) :D Thank you | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bluenovember: it makes sense, it allows there to be a single ISO file and users can add the feature if it's needed | 16:43 |
| ChaosSaber | what I want to do pretty much is install it on this and play around it for awhile and then pull out that other drive, I was going to use virtual machine but it doesnt seem to like my 64bit system | 16:43 |
| ChaosSaber | other comp* | 16:43 |
| bluenovember | dr_willis, what format would you prefer? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | spvensko: you can print a single page of a PDF to a PDF priter | 16:43 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, theres proberly no real need to worry about 64 or 32bit setups if using virtualbox.. stick with 32bit. | 16:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluenovember, OGG and FLAC FTW ;) | 16:44 |
| qin | bhavesh: oh, just getting sdk, too late. | 16:44 |
| bluenovember | i know OGG... er, I have heard of it, never FLAC though | 16:44 |
| ChaosSaber | yeah I d/led 32bit, I meant virtual machine wouldn't install on this since it's a 64bit system so that idea was out | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ChaosSaber: not all CPUs support 64bit guests. | 16:44 |
| bluenovember | are they both open source? | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, virtualbox works on 64bit os's | 16:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ChaosSaber: you may find its just a disabled feature of your CPU ;) | 16:44 |
| bhavesh | qin: Installation of Java ME SDK 3.0 does not work, I had to copy my SDK files from windows partition | 16:45 |
| ChaosSaber | I couldn't get it to install | 16:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | bluenovember, yes - FLAC is Free Lossless Audio Codec, the files are HUGE compared to OGGs but NO quality is lossed | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ChaosSaber: remember to MD5 test the ISO you download | 16:45 |
| bluenovember | interesting, so who owns mp3? | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | the mp3 consortium or somthing like that | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | !mp3 | 16:45 |

| Guest83832 | I have two different sources of internet and I want to use both at the same time how is that possible? ifenslave can do this or both interfaces must belong in the same network? | 17:25 |
| dddbmt | ZykoticK9, okay I'll check it out. thanks alot! | 17:25 |
| rcconf | yes but that's not the point | 17:25 |
| michaelP | hey | 17:25 |
| ChaosSaber | says no root file system is defined. im not sure what that means | 17:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, be aware of rcconf's statement above | 17:25 |
| L551 | ActionParsnip: The mouse keys do, but it is acting that there is no scroll whatsoever | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | L551: i see | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, grub is some how missconfigured perhaps. | 17:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, in the installer? you need a / partition. | 17:26 |
| L551 | ActionParsnip: It worked on 10.10, so I don't know. | 17:26 |

| ChaosSaber | also says. please correct this from the partitioning menu | 17:27 |
| rcconf | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, if installing to a single hard drive. You can stell the installer to 'use the whole disk' and it will partition it as needed | 17:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, the installer needs a / partition. | 17:28 |
| Guest83832 | btw they arent ethernet | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber normally 2 partitons at a minimum,, a / and a 'swap' | 17:28 |
| ChaosSaber | says use as | 17:28 |
| L551 | ActionParsnip: That's more for the touchpad not responding whatsoever. It works, I can click, just not scroll. | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | L551: might fix your issue too | 17:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, select / | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | use as / and use as swap... | 17:29 |
| L551 | ActionParsnip: I guess I'll be back in a few minutes then. | 17:29 |
| dr_willis | The installer can automate this. :) | 17:29 |

| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, so you need to either let the installer automatically set it up. or manually make a large partiton for / and a smaller one for swap | 17:33 |
| Besogon | Guest83832: yes. I heard it is possible< but I've never done it by myself | 17:33 |

| ZykoticK9 | rcconf, perhaps a better question is WHY do you need this shortcut? | 17:37 |

| mneptok | rcconf: calling me a "noob" is funny for so, so many reasons. | 17:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | rcconf, that's not an answer. Why do you need this shortcut? | 17:38 |
| rcconf | configure flash | 17:38 |
| Guest83832 | ActionParsnip: they must be different LANS? but I am confused to put which gateway | 17:38 |

| PythonSnake | my mouse is moving randomely | 17:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | nicofs, you can't go from Debian2Ubuntu -- fresh install | 17:39 |
| ikonia | nicofs: you get an install CD and install ubuntu clean, you don't add ubuntu repos to the debian | 17:39 |
| Besogon | Guest83832: Why do you need 2 IP from one subnet? Use perfix 30/ For Example, 192.168.0.0/30 and 192.168.0.4/30 | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest83832: you can only put 2 connections together is tyou have 2 public IPs, like paying for 2 connections. Connecting 2 network cards to the same router will not make the connection faster | 17:39 |
| PythonSnake | s there a way to fix ? | 17:39 |

| bars0 | :focus down | 17:39 |

| PythonSnake | Rapoo V2 | 17:40 |
| poptisse | dr_willis - videos I've not tested games | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | z3ro: you will need to add in ~/.bashrc export PATH=4PATH:/new/folder | 17:40 |
| poptisse | I am not a gamer | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest83832: I guess so, makes sense | 17:41 |
| dr_willis | poptisse, all ive done to eliminate that is set compiz to sync to vblank (i think thats the setting) and i recall vlc having a similer setting. Actually i dont notice the issue on my new laptop. but did on my old one. | 17:41 |
| z3ro | @ActionParsnip : please detail | 17:41 |

| ActionParsnip | z3ro: sorry, export PATH=$PATH:/path/folder/to/add | 17:41 |
| z3ro | i want to tail file | 17:42 |
| z3ro | means | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | z3ro: all you change is the folder you want to all | 17:42 |
| z3ro | tail -6 /var/log/auth.log | 17:42 |
| z3ro | then call that file back | 17:42 |
| poptisse | dr_willis - I have tried using compiz and I have disabled the vysnc and the other option of the refresh rate does not appear. | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | z3ro: tailing a file means showing the last few lines, you need to edit the ~/.bashrc file and it willapply for your user | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | z3ro: what does that have to do with $PATH? | 17:42 |
| dr_willis | poptisse, i dont set the rate. i just tell it to sync/vblank or whatever the setting is. | 17:42 |

| jacobfogg | hmmm where do I find that? | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jacobfogg: 32bit can only address 3.2Gb (ish) you will need PAE kernel to use up to 12Gb RAM but each process will only be able to access 3.2Gb | 17:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | jacobfogg, uname -m | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !pae | 17:47 |

| genii-around | pythonirc101: Not directly, the cord needs to have a communication chip somewhere in the middle | 18:14 |
| iridium | I have done that with firewire... but USB... no idea | 18:14 |
| dr_willis | pythonirc101, seen special usb cables for that.. but i think its faster to use normal network cables | 18:15 |
| genii-around | pythonirc101: With something like this, it is possible: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=275561 | 18:16 |
| ChaosSaber | ok its installing. hope i didnt kill my main os lol | 18:16 |
| Divy | QUESTION: Is there a know issue with virtual box when you upgrade from 10.10 to 11.4? I had windows 7 installed on my virtual box on 10.10 and when I did an upgrade, it fails to load windows on virtual box. | 18:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | genii-around, assuming that Belkin device has drivers for linux. pythonirc101 | 18:17 |
| ChaosSaber | ./ needs to have the lowest space? | 18:17 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, this is why i normally just delete the partitons on the hard drive i want to use - then tell the installer to 'use unallocated space' | 18:17 |
| DynamicFail | is there any commandline method to figure the "live" amount of traffic going to particular IP's or Subnets in linux? | 18:17 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, you need / to be big enough for you do to your work ion.. 10gb+ as a min i suggest | 18:18 |
| sysop-work | hey can ne1 help me with a minicom issue? | 18:18 |
| ChaosSaber | oh ok so swap is for 2gig or so | 18:18 |
| sysop-work | iptraf is a good tool | 18:18 |
| ChaosSaber | haha got to do that over | 18:18 |
| iridium | the point is that TCP/IP over firewire is a standard, but maybe even a wifi is faster and more reliable to transfer files than a usb | 18:19 |
| ChaosSaber | lesson learnt lol | 18:19 |
| sysop-work | if you are going to transfer files between two machines just use a crossover cable | 18:20 |
| sysop-work | and a private network. | 18:20 |
| sysop-work | and sftp | 18:20 |
| ChaosSaber | startin over again lol. ill get it sometime today lol | 18:21 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, delete partitons on the hd you want to use.. tell installer to use the whold hd. and be sure to select the right hd.. | 18:23 |
| dr_willis | it will auto partiton. | 18:23 |

| blip99 | hi, i'm trying to install the latest nvidia 32-bit linux driver from the Nvidia website, as I've done in the past. Ubuntu 11.04. When I run the installer (after X is closed), I get a message that the "distribution pre-install scripts failed, do you want to continue" | 18:42 |
| exalt | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/J6xPdQtf | 18:42 |
| poptisse | ActionParsnip - Can you attempt to help me with my restart X issue? | 18:42 |
| Pici | leoodldl: .deb files you should just be able to double click to install. .tar files are like .zip files on Windows, you need to do something with the files within them to install. | 18:42 |
| leoodldl | ok thanks | 18:42 |
| blip99 | any idea what that is caused by ? I need the latest nvidia drivers, the ones in the repos aren't working on my NVS 4200M card | 18:42 |

| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, C: is NOT a valid mount point! | 18:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, you'd also have to be in the same directory as the ISO! | 18:53 |

| nophone | what default installs with ubuntu 11.04? gnome right? | 19:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | penlat_, that's two separate issues. change the ownership first, then the permissions. | 19:23 |
| nophone | i'm installing "gnome with extras" right now | 19:23 |
| penlat_ | zykotick9, yes i changed ownership. now how to change permissions? | 19:23 |
| nophone | im' intersted in making my computer look like osx or windows 7 | 19:23 |

| x404x | How to replace a bad drive in a mdadm raid6 on a 3ware 9500 controller ? If i just replace the drive then the new one will not attach | 19:24 |
| nuke_ | you have to tell it to rebuild using the new drive | 19:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | x404x, if you don't get an answer here you might want to try #ubuntu-server (they usually have more RAID experience) good luck | 19:25 |
| x404x | ah thanx zyko | 19:25 |
| nuke_ | I just replaced a drive in my 9650 | 19:25 |

| iridium | but be aware that it will take hours | 19:25 |
| oCean | Poptisse: please calm down | 19:25 |
| IdleOne | Poptisse: drop the caps please | 19:26 |
| x404x | it seems the new drive will not be a part of the raid , do i need to setup in 3ware bios first and then rebuild ? | 19:26 |
| x404x | maybe I can clone the bad drive first , then it will have raid info on it and then pretend I didnt replace it ;=) | 19:26 |
| penlat_ | zykotick9, ok everything worked. except that "others" not have read write. they should have no access | 19:27 |

| IdleOne | arch_nme: might try #ubuntu-nz | 19:29 |
| LuckyY | Cause when i wireshark the connection only the ubuntu/debian clients suffer from tcp windowing errors | 19:29 |

| arch_nme | IdleOne, yeah no ones in there | 19:30 |
| oCean | arch_nme: the best is to just ask your actual question | 19:30 |
| IdleOne | arch_nme: if it is Ubuntu related, shoot. | 19:30 |
| arch_nme | are you guys from new zealand? | 19:31 |

| gohdan | what is the most simplified manner of creating a custom live build without rematering an already existing iso? | 19:31 |

| thunder1212 | ZykoticK9, yes i want to enable compiz in ubuntu 10.04 but i dont want an ugly splash screen at boot up.. | 19:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, cd to where you mounted it | 19:39 |
| oCean | makay: details? | 19:40 |
| oCean | !info python-pyopencl | 19:40 |

| ZykoticK9 | thunder1212, it is possible to fix - there is a script at webupd8 for that. Why bother? is my opinion - good luck. | 19:40 |
| oCean | makay: package python-pyopencl is in repositories (multiverse)^ | 19:40 |
| Chaser | Hi is there anything that can be used to highlight and make comments on PDF files ? | 19:41 |
| chriswr | ZykoticK9, k i used "cd /mnt" still nothing , do i need to do something else? | 19:41 |

| mattmatteh | supitux: how about fdisk -l /dev/sda ( assuming your disk is /dev/sda) | 19:48 |
| Yukinoroh | I've checked the LAN, it is up | 19:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yukinoroh, i had an issue in minimal where it wouldn't see either of my NICs on an EEE 1005 | 19:48 |
| country0129 | Using Ubuntu 11.04. Trying to set up Brother MFC990CW all-in-1 printer/scanner/copier/fax. Went to Bro for the driver. Followed instructions, but the printer set-up can't find the driver when I try to use it. Any experience here with that problem? | 19:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yukinoroh, there was a different result using 10.04LTS vs 10.10 BTW | 19:49 |
| Richjuk | ZykoticK9, nope :( | 19:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Richjuk, "sudo service gdm restart" would restart it - sounds like it's not going to work though, but worth a shot | 19:50 |
| Yukinoroh | ZykoticK9: really? it's weird, I guess I'm going to stick with mandriva then (last version is more recent than ubuntu 10.04)... at least the minimal install works there :/ | 19:50 |

| LuckyY | but they had some cookies for youtube (which is a google account) | 19:53 |
| LuckyY | still debugging ( i blamed ubuntu for the wrong reason) | 19:53 |
| Yukinoroh | ZykoticK9: I was using 11.04, was it what you tried too? | 19:53 |
| country0129 | Everything else works well. Brother is a little late with drivers for Linux, and there's no workaround that I can find with Natty that works. When I followed Brother's instructions, ...oh well. | 19:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yukinoroh, i've never used 11.04 (10.04LTS is the last Ubuntu I'll ever use, i've switched distros now) | 19:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yukinoroh, because of experimenting with Minimal actually - led me to Debian | 19:54 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9: I use Debian :) | 19:55 |
| country0129 | I came to Natty from MEPIS. Another Debian that worked well for me, but the repositories aren't as full. | 19:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, you're nick doesn't give it away ;) | 19:55 |
| Yukinoroh | ZykoticK9: well what I was looking for with minimal is an install that allowed me to only download the packages I need - I happen to live in one of the three places on earth where internet connection is billed by the gigabyte | 19:55 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9: I would have guessed you used Zykotick GNU/Linux (version 9.0) | 19:55 |
| country0129 | <--------<<<< command line dummy | 19:55 |
| mattmatteh | supitux: ok, now that i can see your partition layout, explain what you are trying to do and what is failing | 19:56 |
| Yukinoroh | so downloading a huge DVD is not an option for me | 19:56 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: i want to add some free space to the extended partition | 19:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | Yukinoroh, FYI the ubuntu minimal install is basically a Debian Netinstall, only using ubuntu repos. | 19:57 |
| edbian | Yukinoroh: Well Ubuntu is rather large (about 700Mb) to download and 2Gb installed (small for a modern OS) | 19:57 |
| Yukinoroh | edbian: yeah but I want to minimize my download to just what I need, to pay less money... | 19:57 |
| edbian | Yukinoroh: But the minimal install won't really save you in downloading data. It just downloads during the install rather than before | 19:57 |
| makay | oCean: i installed pyopencl just fine, but now its saying it cant find "libopencl" | 19:57 |
| country0129 | Maybe want to order the full CD from Ubuntu...probably cheaper install than paying by the gb | 19:57 |
| edbian | Yukinoroh: Either way you have to download 99% of what is on the install CD. | 19:58 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: it should be sda3: before installing i configured the partition like: the two ntfs, then the one for swap then 2 different ones with ext4 and some free space (quite 200gb) and some free space after ext. partition | 19:58 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: after installing, ubuntu used the correct partitions but the free space was added to the rest at the end | 19:58 |
| Yukinoroh | I'm going to try burning the mandriva boot, see if it detects my network card | 19:58 |
| edbian | Yukinoroh: The live CD is Ubuntu with a couple tweaks to make it run on a CD. The install differs little. Does this make sense? You have to download ubuntu to install it. Whether you download it and burn it to a CD or download it during the installation you have to download it | 19:59 |

| m1chael | ive never tried.. what would i do once i boot in to recovery mode? | 20:07 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: so i removed the all the partitions safely during livecd for full access and tried to resize it | 20:07 |
| mattmatteh | supitux: if your partitioning tools wont let you then i dont know why. what is wrong with using makeing a 4th primary ? | 20:07 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: i need the space at the partition ;) | 20:07 |
| Core_UK | where are deleted files stored? | 20:07 |
| mattmatteh | supitux: you removed all the partitions, you know thats a risk of data lose ? | 20:07 |
| edbian | m1chael: Well I'd need you to tell me what driver you're using (by running sudo lspci -k) which will give a good chunk of output. | 20:07 |
| mattmatteh | supitux: oh, you need to extend the the partitino in the 3rd primary ? | 20:08 |
| supitux | mattmatteh: i mean i ejected all safely | 20:08 |

| supitux | mattmatteh: i mean unmount, sorry under windows it is "remove safefly" or sth like that^^ | 20:10 |
| slackaholic | Core_UK, they will be there | 20:10 |

| nit-wit | country0129, I found the driver through the Ubuntu Forums seems pretty straight forward, maybe the force install is not the besrt install method for a 3rd party driver. | 20:23 |

| ZykoticK9 | kate_r, and on that BluetoothHeadset page at the top it talks about what to do for 10.10 ONwards - it's all Pulse now. | 20:28 |
| country0129 | I'll try gdebi. It's in the repositories, right? | 20:28 |
| kate_r | ZykoticK9, though it says for 10.10 and later, i can just go to Sound and find it. unfortunately it's not there. | 20:28 |
| nit-wit | country0129, I figured it was, it is difficult to tell who your talking to if you do not tab the nick of who your talking to. | 20:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | kate_r, ummm, if it doesn't show up, I really don't know what to suggest. Bluetooth was always a nightmare until 10.10, which on my system worked perfectly for two headsets. Best of luck! | 20:29 |
| country0129 | Mr. Nit-wit...sorry about the protocol and many thanks for your suggestions. I'll try to install gdebi and see if that helps. | 20:29 |

| quix | Hello, does anybody know if it's possible to have system-wide CMYK simulation on Ubuntu? | 20:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | kisplit, extensions are basically meaningless on GNU/Linux - it relies on the actual file type, rather then some arbitrary extions - but I'm not aware of a program that does what you are looking for. Good luck. | 20:30 |
| Dulak | kisplit: gnome-open works similarly to that | 20:31 |
| metoiro | edbian: No to say that , it not sure to send a mail to her addresse, I stock information in machine | 20:31 |
| kisplit | ZykoticK9: They aren't meaningless if you have software which interprets the extension. The other option would be looking at the magic header. I know this and is why I'm asking for software | 20:32 |
| edbian | metoiro: I don't really understand | 20:32 |
| kisplit | Dulak: What I'm looking for except a more general alternative xD | 20:32 |
| kisplit | Dulak: I don't run gnome nor ubuntu | 20:32 |
| kdllsoiel | also i clik on a .deb file to open after download i get message impossible to open gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. how to get around this pls | 20:32 |
| metoiro | edbian: it ok, I install chkrootkit | 20:32 |
| kisplit | Ah just found the answer on #archlinux, xdg-open | 20:32 |
| edbian | kdllsoiel: gedit opens text files. a .deb is not a text file gedit cannot open it use gdebi | 20:33 |
| edbian | metoiro: ooooook | 20:33 |
| Dulak | kisplit: there is no generic one in linux, it's tied to you implementation, even the windows one is for windows only | 20:33 |
| kisplit | Dulak: Look into xdg-open | 20:33 |
| kisplit | Dulak: already found the answer | 20:33 |
| kdllsoiel | y is gedit trying to open it and not gdebi are file associations wrong somewhere | 20:33 |

It seems like there's a limit of 2 GB per swap partition though, and I read that you should have twice as much swap space as physical RAM. So should I set up 8x2 GB swap partitions if I have 8 GB RAM? | 20:38 |
| meganerd | Heston: Yup. On my box I have 11 of those | 20:38 |
| gohdan | metoiro: is the machine suspected of infection a windows or *nix box? | 20:38 |

| nit-wit | skfax, can you run a script and post the text in a pastebin.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 20:41 |
| kdllsoiel | gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character encoding from the menu and try again. | 20:41 |
| nit-wit | http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 20:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kindari, "sudo service gdm restart" might work | 20:41 |
| gohdan | metoiro: you should also check your /var/log , run a diff against any backups you may have and stop running untrusted code from ppa's or outside the main repos | 20:41 |
| nit-wit | skfax, are you able to boot into the OS you want to control the boot? | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | hypercity, if you NEED an xorg.conf it is possible to generate one, Xorg will use it. | 20:42 |
| Kindari | ZykoticK9: no luck, thanks though. | 20:42 |
| skfax | nit-wit: Well my disks are formatted. I'm in Ubuntu booted straight from a flashdrive now. Sec, running the script you linked | 20:42 |

| bobdillanismybit | @PythonSnake.... Are you using a PC or a Mac? | 21:17 |
| PI_314 | aguitel: the current flash plugin from the standard repository works fine for me | 21:17 |
| Galvatron | aguitel: Have you tried "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"? | 21:18 |
| aguitel | Galvatron, it crash many times | 21:18 |
| PI_314 | aguitel I have had the same problem. but after an update everything is fine. | 21:18 |
| bobdillanismybit | @PythonSnake.... Are you using a PC or a Mac? | 21:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | aguitel, i believe flashplugin-installer is probably installing a 32bit version - there is an alpha/beta 64bit flash available from adobe somewhere. | 21:19 |

| ZykoticK9 | lafon, you might want to try "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" in a terminal and see what it is set to (or change it) - there is also gnome-www-browser option | 21:54 |

| mattpfeif9 | Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and when it booted up the graphics were extremely distorted. Now it's running in Ubuntu Classic mode which is a little better, but it's still distorted. The screen in shifted over, so a few centimeters on the bottom of the screen is on the top and a few centimeters of the left side of the screen are on the right. When I want to click something with my mouse I have to aim a centimeter or so above i | 21:55 |
| mattpfeif9 | I have tried enabling the additional drivers as well | 21:55 |
| mattpfeif9 | Any ideas? | 21:55 |
| centHOGG | v11.04 = misstep | 21:55 |
| richiejuk | mattpfeif9, what graphics card do you have | 21:55 |
| mattpfeif9 | why is that? | 21:56 |
| cordette | re | 21:56 |
| cordette | hello | 21:56 |
| mattpfeif9 | richiejuk, it's nVidia I think, how do I find the exact model? | 21:56 |

| szal | lafon: "didn't work" is NOT a precise error description | 21:58 |
| Dulak | ar0war0w: do you have extra visual effects enabled in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects? | 21:58 |
| lafon | sorry, chromium still won't default | 21:58 |
| === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest79772 | ||
| ar0war0w | spc_in_plc: The computer is new, and the specs are fine enough. When it crashes, it flashes to a terminal, and things are getting "sigterm"'d so I think It's a sw problem | 21:59 |
| spc_in_plc | lafon, go to System Information >> Default Applications | 21:59 |
| richiejuk | if you go to Additional drivers and do a search there it should come up with the driver, otherwise go to the nvidea site and look up the driver for the nvidea card you have there, thats what i did, works fine now | 21:59 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: Nope. | 21:59 |
| Dulak | ar0war0w: is it set to none? | 21:59 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: The visual effects menu isn't even showing up, actually | 22:00 |
| lafon | which i find how in natty? | 22:00 |
| svnissen__ | @mattpfeif9: might be a stupif question, but did you Auto-Calibrate your Monitor? | 22:00 |
| Dulak | ar0war0w: nifty, it's a tab across the top of the appearance prefs, it's been there for a very long time... | 22:01 |
| spc_in_plc | lafon, should be able to find it in that search menu | 22:01 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: Theme/background/fonts are all there. but only those 3 tabs | 22:01 |
| lafon | what happened to gdebi? | 22:01 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: I've seen the tab you are talking about on my other comp, but it's not showing up here. | 22:01 |
| spc_in_plc | lafon, I am using GNOME 3 instead of UNITY | 22:01 |

| doug_ | I have an IPv6-enabled firewall using ubuntu-server 10.04. It runs for a day or two, then stops responding to IPv6, but continues to work on IPv4 just fine. When this happens, the syslog starts filling up with the following error message: "ICMPv6 ND: ndisc_build_skb() failed to allocate an skb, err=-11". I haven't been able to find any info regarding cause or solution. Does anyone know of a possible solution? | 22:02 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: So it might just be too much running on bootup? Do you know how to turn off nautilus-icon-caching? | 22:02 |
| lafon | thanks spc_in_plc | 22:03 |
| spc_in_plc | lafon, did that work? | 22:03 |
| lafon | yup | 22:03 |

| lafon | spc_in_plc: yup | 22:03 |
| coz_ | hey all | 22:04 |
| Dulak | ar0war0w: you mean thumbnailing? The icon cache would cause weird glitches in the appearance of icons, I don't know that it could even cause intermittant crashes unless the problem is your hdd maybe | 22:04 |
| ubun | @ZykoticK9 ive seen a more up to date one, but i think its me. i really dont know what im doing | 22:04 |
| ar0war0w | Dulak: Might be my hdd, but it's new so idk. any way to check? | 22:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubun, sorry I'm no help - i certainly don't own that device / never used it. Best of luck. | 22:05 |

| aleprovencio | hello everyone, is there a way to change the mnemonic (accel key) of an item in the gnome/nautilus's context menu ? | 22:06 |
| Kyle__ | Is there a way to disable all keyboard shortcuts systemwide? | 22:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | aleprovencio, ok you've asked enough, I'll bite - what is a mnemonic or accel key? | 22:07 |
| Dulak | chrome_: I have no idea, but I don't use kde, if it's like gnome there is a way to force it to recreate the icon cache it uses, though no idea how to do that for kde | 22:07 |
| coz_ | Kyle__, well,, possibly | 22:07 |
| coz_ | Kyle__, may I ask the reason for this? | 22:07 |
| chrome_ | Dulak: I'm using unity | 22:07 |
| wols | ZykoticK9: alt+f for "file for example? | 22:07 |

| james_1313 | My microphone isnt working on my acer netbook when Im using skype, can anyone help?? | 22:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | wols, thanks - what are you doing in Ubuntu ;) | 22:08 |
| Dulak | chrome_: konsole is a kde app, so I'm gonna guess there is something causing kde icons not to show? | 22:08 |
| Kyle__ | coz_: Because I have a bunch of vms and the default keyboard shortcuts are interfering with vncing to them. And from vnc, I never use any of those shortcuts anyway. | 22:08 |
| wols | ZykoticK9: slumming? :P. checking something | 22:08 |
| coz_ | james_1313, did you already check alsamixer in terminal,,,yes? | 22:08 |
| spc_in_plc | chrome_, how is your hdd partitioned ? | 22:08 |
| wols | chrome_: there is no answer to such a ridiculously broad non-question. state the actual problem | 22:09 |
| chrome_ | spc_in_plc: just one partition | 22:09 |
| james_1313 | coz: right now it is pulseaudio that is controlling everything | 22:09 |
| wols | ZykoticK9: may I PM you for a short question? | 22:09 |
| aleprovencio | ZykoticK9, :) mnemonic is the letter with a little line beneath it so you can press that letter on the keyboard in order to access that item | 22:09 |
| coz_ | Kyle__, I see,, did you look to disable most of them under gnome-keybinding-properties ? | 22:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | wols, of course! | 22:09 |
| chrome_ | wols: that's why I'm gonna reinstall ubuntu. There's a lot of icons that do not show. And the unity bar does not hide itself. | 22:10 |
| lesley | Hello, I seem to be having an Authentication problem in Ubuntu Studio 10.10. | 22:10 |
| spc_in_plc | chrome_, next time you install Ubuntu or any linux distro. make a seperate partition for / and home | 22:10 |
| Kyle__ | coz_: want to disable them systemically, not just for the current user. | 22:10 |
| coz_ | Kyle__, just click each and hit backspace to disable them | 22:10 |
| coz_ | Kyle__, ah hmm,, hold on let me check | 22:10 |
| aleprovencio | ZykoticK9, these are localization dependant, i mean you change gnome's language, they change too | 22:10 |
| chrome_ | spc_in_plc: ok. I will do that | 22:10 |
| wols | chrome_: then next time, ask for why icons don't show (tell which icons) and ask about the other problems you have with unity directly. your initial question was to broad to be answerable | 22:11 |
| spc_in_plc | chrome_, but if Unity is giving you hell, then logout and chose GNOME Classic as environment | 22:11 |
| tiago | does anybody knows how to scp a file from a remote server to my local machine, given that I have to bounce from another ssh accessible server to access it | 22:12 |

| spc_in_plc | tiago, I guess you can install openssh on your local machine, and scp files from your remote server to your local machine through SSH | 22:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, installing nvidia using the Ubuntu method is certainly recommended however | 22:14 |
| mattpfeif9 | how do i do that? i checked the experimental 3d drivers and restarted but it isn't helping | 22:14 |
| james_1313 | My microphone isnt working on my acer netbook when Im using skype, can anyone help?? the issue is only with skype, everything else on my zystem works..... | 22:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, are you trying to install nvidia or nouveau? | 22:15 |

| colt | Ubuntu 11.04 is by far superior to 11.11... 11.11 is just... Eww. | 22:17 |
| Dulak | tiago: for instance a tunnel on port 2222 on the first machine redirects to 22 on the second, so you can use the -P option with scp to set the port | 22:18 |

| saulotoledo | Hello! I have 2 problems with ubuntu here: | 22:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, do you know if you are using the nvidia driver right now? Have you checked if "Additional Drivers" (or whatever it is called these days) is recommend an nvidia driver for you? | 22:19 |
| james_1313 | wols, everything else works but skype | 22:19 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: yes I have | 22:19 |
| centHOGG | mattpfeif9: did you try another DE | 22:20 |
| wols | james_1313: start skype from a xterm and check if it outputs something about the microphone. | 22:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, yes you are using nvidia? or yes one is recommended? | 22:20 |
| saulotoledo | 1) My web interface shows me "invalid state" at LAN, but I can navigate at internet. Ubuntu-one stopped working and told me I have no internet connection. | 22:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, what card is it? "lspci | grep -i vga" to find out specifically. | 22:20 |
| saulotoledo | *My LAN interface | 22:20 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: yes I am using the experimental 3d support for nividia cards, the one that was available in the additional drivers section | 22:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, "experimental 3d support" sounds like nouveau not nvidia | 22:21 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: its an nvidia geforce 4 mx | 22:22 |
| mattpfeif9 | integrated graphics card | 22:22 |
| goodbyemrevans | Is there anyone who can help me with my keyboard? I've tinkered with this problem on my own for quite awhile | 22:22 |

| Brandano | good evening. i just made an ubuntu install on an old transmeta netbook, but I only installed a very basic setup. I got the gdm installed, but most default applications are missing. I am installing desktop-base right now, but is there some metapackage that will pull all the "default" packages? | 22:33 |
| chriswr | spc_in_plc, btw is openssh a terminal based program? | 22:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, once openssh is installed you can use Gnome's GUI - Connect to Server to connect to it | 22:33 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr, typically yes, but I think there is a user interface . | 22:33 |
| Brandano | or install putty | 22:33 |
| random00 | hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? | 22:33 |
| ubun | I need help... i was trying to do this command "cp -p ~/Desktop/easycap_dc60.x.y.tar.gz" but this was output "cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/tobe/Desktop/easycap_dc60.0.0.tar.gz' Try `cp --help' for more information. " | 22:34 |
| chriswr | ZykoticK9, spc_in_plc , alright just got done installing so ill reboot and give it a try | 22:34 |
| spc_in_plc | chrisf, no need to reboot | 22:34 |
| mattpfeif9 | at ZykoticK9, it says depends on xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable | 22:34 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr, no need to reboot | 22:34 |
| oCean | ubun: the desktoplocation is where you copy the file.x.y.tar.gz from. But where do you want it to copy to? (destination) | 22:34 |
| Brandano | ubun: you didn't specify a destination? | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubun, if you want to copy it to the location that you are in "cp -p ~/Desktop/easycap_dc60.x.y.tar.gz ." but i'm not sure what the -p does to copy | 22:35 |
| chriswr | spc_in_plc, oh alright | 22:35 |
| spc_in_plc | so have you got the other computer on? | 22:35 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: preserve permissions? | 22:35 |
| Brandano | chriswr: the only time you really need to reboot is when you update the kernel, and even then there's distros that work around it | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, this may be due to something i'm not aware of - but "sudo apt-get update" then try again | 22:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, thanks | 22:35 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: I didn't look but sounds right :) | 22:36 |
| chriswr | Brandano, cool is ubuntu 11.04 one of those? | 22:36 |
| Brandano | chriswr: not that I know of | 22:36 |
| Berto | Hi - I have a window running at home, and I'm SSH'd in - is there a way to send the window to my SSH screen here on the road? | 22:36 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr, type in terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start " to start the service | 22:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, you are of course correct ;) "-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps" | 22:36 |
| Brandano | Berto: tunnel vnc over ssh | 22:37 |
| ubun | @oCean @Brandano @ZykotiK9: I want to copy it to a directory. i did this "mkdir ~/EASYCAP" | 22:37 |
| goodbyemrevans | My Asus EeepC 1015p has a problem with the keyboard - it is as if the numlock key is stuck even though i've disabled that key with xmodmap. Before I log into Ubuntu, the keyboard works normally, but once I've logged in, the mapping changes. This persists in the virtual terminals. I'm running 10.10 netbook remix with the Ubuntu 2D (Gnome 2) Desktop. I've written a script to reassign the affected keys, but I can't get some of the keys (p, 0, ;, | 22:37 |
| oCean | ubun: so, use cp -p ~/Desktop/easycap_dc60.x.y.tar.gz ~/EASYCAP | 22:37 |
| Berto | Brandano, Yeah I had VNC running but can't get into that port or something. Thought my router was setup right | 22:37 |
| Brandano | Berto: most likely the VNC server is set not to listen to the internet. Rightly so, since it's an insecure protocol | 22:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubun, just FYI the @ signs you are using are actually preventing highlighting (which makes it more difficult to see) | 22:38 |
| Brandano | Berto: now, there's a couple of issues. Vncserver normally starts its own X11 instance | 22:38 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: no help :( | 22:38 |
| ubun | Zykotick9 thank you | 22:38 |
| chriswr | spc_in_plc, alright cool but just doing that confused me to beyond so imma go do some googling | 22:39 |
| Berto | Brandano, hah i thought i configured that. I'll see if i can set it up from the command line | 22:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, could you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy xorg-video-abi-8.0" | 22:39 |
| Brandano | Berto: look up ssh tunnels | 22:40 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr, Sorry mate. googling would be a good idea | 22:40 |
| Berto | Brandano, thanks! | 22:40 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: Installed (none) Candidate (None) Version table: | 22:41 |
| Brandano | Berto: they are incredibly useful. I use a Linux server to tunneol in to window machines on a remote network | 22:41 |
| s0u][ight | hi, how can I enable 3 finger swipes in ubuntu? | 22:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, are you getting this during the "sudo apt-get -f install"? | 22:41 |
| openfly | dear ubuntu. thanks for blowing firewire away in natty. that was some exceptional work. cheers. | 22:42 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: no it just says 0 upgrades, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 22:42 |
| brando753 | Guys I have installed a fresh set of ubuntu and It cant decrypt my home folder. The password hasnt changed. I have upgraded and reinstalled just fine before but its not working this time | 22:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, and nvidia says something about broken packages? | 22:42 |
| Alexanderjb | s0u][ight: what machine is this finger swipe thing going to be on? | 22:43 |
| mattpfeif9 | yes, I am using the command sudo apt-get nvidia-96 | 22:43 |
| s0u][ight | Alexanderjb, samsung nf-210 with elantech touchpad | 22:43 |
| mattpfeif9 | and it says Depends: xorg-video-abi-8.0 but it is not installable | 22:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, are you sure the package is called nvidia-96 -- and you need an "apt-get install..." | 22:44 |
| goodbyemrevans | Can anyone help me? | 22:44 |
| mattpfeif9 | ZykoticK9: yes thats what the package is called, how else would I install it? | 22:44 |
| ubun | Is this command suppose to have an output? "lsmod | grep easycap" | 22:44 |
| Kyle__ | Don't know what openfly was whining bout, fw works fine on my natty desktop | 22:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattpfeif9, the other option in through the "Additional Drivers" thing | 22:45 |
| skfax | I'm having some issues with the GRUB bootloader while installing Ubuntu on a RAID 0 setup. I keep getting the error "Executing 'grub-install /dev/mapper' failed. This is a fatal error." - Even when sing the Advanced Ubuntu setup (which I was told would contain more drivers etc) | 22:45 |
| buzzmandt | In kubuntu blueprints it says create plasma unity template, anyone know what this is? | 22:45 |
| Alexanderjb | s0u][ight: Just looking about the solutions now, might be a minute or two | 22:46 |
| ubun | Is this command suppose to have an output? "lsmod | grep easycap" | 22:46 |
| clcto|work | ubun: lsmod shows your installed modules. grep filters lines. so if no line has "easycap" then it wont have output. | 22:46 |
| chegrun | how to set up sync mail dir | 22:46 |
| clcto|work | ubun: calm down. down keep posting the same thing. people will help if they can | 22:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubun, assuming there really was a module called easycap (and it was loaded) then yes, that should list it. | 22:46 |
| s0u][ight | Alexanderjb, 2 finger scrolls work fine, 3 finger taps too | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | ubun, does "sudo modprobe easycap" do anything? Try it, then the lsmod again. | 22:47 |

| chriswr_ | is there a difference between and ethernet cable and a crossover cable? | 22:48 |
| Alexanderjb | s0u][ight, have a look at the 'synclient' tool. It probably wont work with your touchpad bu it is worth a go | 22:48 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr yes | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, yes Crossover is for direct computer to computer | 22:49 |
| chegrun | how can i configure sync mail dir? | 22:49 |
| Alexanderjb | s0u][ight, check this out: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-touchpad/index.html | 22:49 |
| s0u][ight | Alexanderjb, synclient works fine | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, if you have a router/switch/hub in between, you don't need crossover | 22:49 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr, the tx/rx in ethernet cable are straight, in the crossover they are crossed | 22:49 |
| chriswr_ | oooh | 22:50 |
| Alexanderjb | s0u][ight, under the 'Swipe gestures' heading, it specifically talks about the three fingere swipe | 22:50 |
| s0u][ight | Alexanderjb, thanks, i'm looking at it | 22:50 |
| chegrun | thanks clto | 22:50 |
| chriswr_ | ZykoticK9, would i go about setting up a transfer with the router in the middle the same way as with a crossover cable? | 22:50 |
| Brandano | Oki, found my answer. I have a theory about that, and apparently I am right | 22:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, you probably wouldn't need to set static IPs if using a router | 22:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, start by verifying you can Ping the other computer | 22:52 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr_, PC 1 - > Router - > SSH - > PC2 | 22:52 |
| coz_ | guys.. would some take a look at this,, it is consistent with each fresh install,,, classic gnome,, metacity compositor,,,, trying to save book marks,, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screencasts/bookmark.ogv | 22:52 |
| Brandano | ZykoticK9: depends wheter the router also acts as a dhcp server | 22:52 |
| chriswr_ | ZykoticK9, is there something i can type in terminal to do that? | 22:52 |
| chriswr_ | spc_in_plc, so i still need the openssh program? | 22:53 |
| clcto|work | chriswr_: ping <ip address> | 22:53 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr_, no dude if you have a crossover cable. You can connect it directly from one PC to another | 22:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | chriswr, you need to find both computers IP addresses - use "ipconfig" on both systems, then from one "ping IP_OF_THE_OTHER" like "ping 192.168.1.2" from the computer with 192.168.1.3 (example ONLY) | 22:53 |
| Brandano | spc_in_plc: but if you do that either one pc works as DHCP server or you must configure both with static configurations | 22:54 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr_, If you want to transfer the data over the network then one way would be using ssh server | 22:54 |
| another | sync mail dir | 22:54 |
| chriswr_ | ZykoticK9, alright | 22:54 |
| Brandano | spc_in_plc: most modern machines won't need a crossover cable either | 22:54 |
| chriswr_ | spc_in_plc, yeah im going to have to do the router thing or something besides the crossover cable | 22:55 |
| Brandano | if you just want to transfer files you can use scp, or mount a network share... there's plenty of different ways to do it | 22:55 |
| another | how can i configure sync mail dir? | 22:55 |
| Brandano | you really need SSH only if you are on an unsecure connection | 22:56 |
| Brandano | ssh/scp | 22:56 |
| wildbat | anyone know tools for ubuntu that can reindex the asf i recorded from live radio show , so that the file have correct total time and seekable ?? | 22:56 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| Brandano | wildbat: mencoder is the only tool I know that manages win32 formats | 22:56 |
| Brandano | wildbat: and you have to install nonfree codecs for that. Perhaps VLC as well?^ | 22:57 |
| edbian | I have 2 machines. One is wlan and the other is wired. The wlan machine cannot download torrents. Can I use the wired machine as a proxy? | 22:57 |
| Brandano | wildbat: try transcoding it to another format | 22:57 |
| chriswr_ | Brandano, what would be the easiest way without a crossover cable (i only have dial up internet at the house if that matters) | 22:57 |
| Brandano | edbian: I'd look for the problem with the wlan one | 22:57 |
| wildbat | Brandano: thanks i will dig into it | 22:58 |
| Brandano | edbian: proxying bittorrent doesn't seem optimal | 22:58 |
| edbian | Brandano: The problem is that the school I go to does not want torrents on the wlan0 | 22:58 |
| edbian | Brandano: If I connect to wired it works fine | 22:58 |
| another | smd applet is running but it gives me errors | 22:58 |
| Brandano | edbian: the way I work around that... I have a sheevaplug at home | 22:58 |

| Brandano | with wtorrent on it. when I want something I ssh into it | 22:58 |

| theregoesmyeye | hi everyone! quick question.. i'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I only have dist upgrades for LTS and it's been trying to bug me to upgrade.. wtf is it upgrading to? | 22:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, you might want to check out Deluge which runs as a service with GTK/console/Web interfaces on your wired connection | 22:59 |
| saulotoledo | I don't know how start solving this, somebody can help me? | 22:59 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr_, are you using dial up? | 22:59 |
| EgyParadox | !language | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 22:59 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9: I will. | 23:00 |
| Brandano | edbian: anyway, have bittorrent run on the wired machine and just control it from the wifi | 23:00 |
| chriswr_ | spc_in_plc, not right now , right now im at the church | 23:00 |
| edbian | Brandano: I want to watch them on the wireless machine. I need them on the wireless machine :( | 23:00 |
| EgyParadox | theregoesmyeye: Its upgrading to Natty Narwhal 11.04 | 23:00 |
| spc_in_plc | chriswr_, so you're trying to connect church to home? | 23:00 |
| theregoesmyeye | @EgyParadox: 11.04 isnt in LTS is it? | 23:00 |
| Brandano | edbian: just share the download folder | 23:00 |
| chriswr_ | spc_in_plc, actually i dont even have the dial up installed at home on my computers cause its so slow , kinda a thing just for my mom | 23:00 |
| EgyParadox | my bad 10.10 | 23:00 |
| EgyParadox | Maverick | 23:01 |
| Brandano | edbian: I mean, use a network share or sshfs | 23:01 |
| EgyParadox | no 10.04 is lTS | 23:01 |
| edbian | Brandano: I think I'll do an ssh mount but it's annoying to always be mounting it | 23:01 |
| EgyParadox | LTS* | 23:01 |
| Brandano | edbian: you can't watch them until they are completed anyway | 23:01 |
| themarktler | i have got a question | 23:01 |
| edbian | Brandano: Yeah I know | 23:01 |
| themarktler | i am not sure if gnome3 etc | 23:01 |
| chriswr_ | spc_in_plc, nah i can do it at home to home , having dial up would take it way to long doing it over the internet | 23:01 |
| theregoesmyeye | ah awesome.. I was just wondering. I forgot about 10.10 =\ I didn't want an OS using unity or gnome 3.. it constantly messes up =[ | 23:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | !gnome3 | themarktler | 23:01 |
| ubottu | themarktler: 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. | 23:01 |
| themarktler | is the ppa good ? | 23:02 |
| EgyParadox | theresgoesmyeye: Unity is default for 11.04 not 10.10 | 23:02 |
| edbian | Brandano: The problem is complicated by the fact that the wired machine does not have as much space to store the files | 23:02 |
| themarktler | or is it not good | 23:02 |
| edbian | I think NFS might be the way to go | 23:02 |
| edbian | :/ | 23:02 |
| EgyParadox | If you like LTS releases then dont upgrade | 23:02 |
| Brandano | edbian: but that's another issue. I'd get an external drive | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | themarktler, it will break Unity for starters (possibly more) | 23:02 |
| edbian | Brandano: I'm too cheap | 23:02 |
| spc_in_plc | themarktler, I am using GNOME 3 on 11.04 ubuntu. runs sweet | 23:02 |
| themarktler | what | 23:02 |
| Brandano | disk drives are dirt cheap now | 23:02 |
| centHOGG | LTS is like the anti-upgrade version | 23:02 |
| oCean | themarktler: it is not supported, since it's ppa. Read the warning message above^ | 23:02 |
| themarktler | Zykotick i dont want unity | 23:02 |
| Brandano | at least the older platter kins | 23:02 |
| edbian | Brandano: I could just buy an ethernet cord and be done with it! | 23:02 |
| themarktler | but if it is not safe | 23:03 |
| theregoesmyeye | @EgyParadox: in your opinion is 10.10 as stable as 10.04? Can't afford another data loss after my natty's gnome 3 and unity decided to flop out | 23:03 |
| themarktler | ok well | 23:03 |
| Brandano | theregoesmyeye: I have run 10.10 without issues for a long time. But support for it will end before support for 10.04 | 23:03 |
| themarktler | what is now ? | 23:03 |
| themarktler | xd | 23:03 |
| spc_in_plc | themarktler, It's been running sweet since for a month now | 23:03 |
| themarktler | okay well | 23:04 |
| EgyParadox | I am using 10.04 I dont know | 23:04 |
| themarktler | no i do not use because 10.04 do not have got trim | 23:04 |
| themarktler | support | 23:04 |
| Brandano | theregoesmyeye: it's not which one is more stable that matters here, it's wheter you need to keep it patched for a long time | 23:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | themarktler, i'm not entirely clean on what "trim" does (on SSDs) but I know it's possible to accomplish the same thing without it. | 23:05 |
| theregoesmyeye | @Brandano: It's just that I don't want to get stuck with using unity and gnome 3 because it's constantly crashing on my HP-G60-230US | 23:05 |
| themarktler | Zykwas | 23:05 |
| Brandano | theregoesmyeye: for a desktop it might not matter much, if you need a vulnerability patch that is not available for your distro you can just upgrade. But for a server it is essential | 23:05 |

| themarktler | i did | 23:17 |
| coz_ | themarktler, under "Pladement mode " choose centered and under "Multi Output mode" choose "use output device with pointer" | 23:18 |
| m3lvin | Hi, is the palimpsest read/write benchmark destructive? Do I need to worry about it ovewriting data when using it on a mounted HD? | 23:18 |
| coz_ | themarktler, now test to see if the windows open on the primary desktop | 23:18 |
| themarktler | yes i will try | 23:18 |
| themarktler | but i have a question why have i to activate all ? | 23:18 |
| Brandano | Core_UK: perhaps this still works? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1608880 | 23:18 |
| coz_ | themarktler, well I am not sure why these are not enabled by default ,, they are all important in my opinion | 23:19 |
| themarktler | okay thanks i will try | 23:19 |
| coz_ | themarktler, especially Put and Place windows | 23:19 |
| themarktler | and if it works i have to reinstall it | 23:19 |
| coz_ | themarktler, you uninstalled it? | 23:19 |
| themarktler | no no but | 23:19 |

| notNicolas | I have multiple versions of ubuntu installed on my laptop, and now I want to replace one of the two with another third version | 23:22 |
| notNicolas | how do I delete just one partition? | 23:22 |
| coz_ | notNicolas, well you may not have to delete it,, just install the newer version on that partition...yes? | 23:22 |
| drake01 | damm only me facing the problem with this application-switcher compiz-plugin. No one is able to produce this bug.. | 23:22 |
| coz_ | drake01, applications switcher? what is the issue? | 23:23 |
| malecrickett | hey all | 23:23 |
| coz_ | malecrickett, hey | 23:23 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | Hello. | 23:23 |
| malecrickett | hi coz | 23:24 |
| drake01 | I am using ati (fglrx) driver on ubuntu 11.04 amd 64. app-switcher causes a window playing video to freeze. Once I select the window playing video it continues. Any solutions | 23:24 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | The iso download from the ubuntu site is horrendously slow | 23:24 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | I had to go to a mirror. | 23:24 |
| drake01 | sound plays all the time. | 23:24 |
| coz_ | drake01, does this happen when compiz is disabled? | 23:24 |
| Corey | UbuntuSlowDownlo: That's why we have mirrors. | 23:24 |
| chaddy | UbuntuSlowDownlo: might be even quicker off a torrent | 23:24 |
| centHOGG | yeah get it from a university | 23:25 |
| malecrickett | need help trying to join a channel ? | 23:25 |
| chaddy | /join #channelname | 23:25 |
| drake01 | can i use application-switcher plugin with compiz disabled | 23:25 |
| coz_ | malecrickett, which channel , and is your nick registered? | 23:25 |
| drake01 | ? | 23:25 |
| notNicolas | actually how the heck do I even tell what information is held in which partition? | 23:25 |
| coz_ | drake01, no | 23:25 |
| notNicolas | all I'm getting is "device: /dev/sda6" | 23:25 |
| coz_ | drag0nz, try one of the other switchers | 23:25 |
| spc_in_plc | notNicolas, use gparted | 23:25 |
| malecrickett | yes i have a registered nick with icq | 23:25 |
| notNicolas | or other random numbers | 23:25 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | but corey, is it supposed to be that slow? And I've seen posts on AskUbutu advising people not to use mirrors since they aren't always up to date | 23:25 |
| coz_ | malecrickett, is it registered on freenode? | 23:26 |
| malecrickett | not sure if im on the right server | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | malecrickett, icq? really? | 23:26 |
| Corey | UbuntuSlowDownlo: The ISO changes maybe three times a year. :-) You'll be fine. | 23:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | !register > malecrickett | 23:26 |
| ubottu | malecrickett, please see my private message | 23:26 |
| spc_in_plc | ZykoticK9, LOL | 23:26 |
| malecrickett | no coz_ its not | 23:26 |
| random00 | hello, I need a client of vpn with this function http://bit.ly/kRkBZb, could anybody help me??? | 23:26 |
| coz_ | malecrickett, which channel are you trying to join? | 23:26 |
| coz_ | malecrickett, and you are doing this with /join #nameofchannel ,,, yes? | 23:26 |
| malecrickett | just_friends its on icq chat | 23:26 |
| drake01 | @coz_ its working fine with other switchers. But still, I am addicted to this plugin. So trying desperately to fix this. | 23:26 |
| coz_ | drake01, is this a clean install of 11.04 ? | 23:27 |
| notNicolas | what is a swap drive? | 23:27 |
| drake01 | yup | 23:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | notNicolas, virtual memory | 23:27 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | Corey: So is canonical even working on it? Shouldn't they um... post something so people know to go to mirrors? The non-tech savvy audience ubuntu is directed towards may not know what mirrors are | 23:27 |
| Brandano | Core_UK: any luck? | 23:27 |
| coz_ | drake01, ok,,, open ccsm,, go to Preferences...Hit the "reset to defaults" button,, of course you will have to reset the plugins again | 23:27 |
| spc_in_plc | UbuntuSlowDownlo, maybe it's not the ubuntu servers, it could be your WAN gateway | 23:28 |
| coz_ | drake01, I have to break here,, so I will leave it to others for this,, I will return in a bit | 23:28 |
| notNicolas | what about an extended drive? is that probably something I don't want to delete? | 23:28 |
| drake01 | @coz_ tried already by creating a new user!! | 23:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | notNicolas, extended partitions hold Logical paritions inside it - probably not wise to delete! | 23:28 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | spc_in_plc, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/30567/is-there-a-mirror-for-the-daily-natty-iso-daily-live-current-in-asia | 23:29 |
| chriswr_ | drake01, have you updated all your drivers? | 23:29 |
| drake01 | yeah!! | 23:29 |
| notNicolas | right now I can't delete one of my two partitions because one swap partition has an sda number higher than it | 23:29 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: use a torrent. far fatser, checksummed by protocol design | 23:29 |
| notNicolas | if I want to just get rid of it, do I delete both the swap and the partition of the installation? | 23:29 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | mneptok: That's not the point, I already got the image off a mirror | 23:30 |
| spc_in_plc | notNicolas, you can google optimal partitioning for Linux | 23:30 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | What I'm saying is that the people ubuntu is directed towards wouldn't know to go to a mirror or to torrent it | 23:30 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: so the issue is "Cananical datacenter bandwidth is not fast enough?" | 23:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | notNicolas, you might have to turn swap off in order to modify your current partitions! "sudo swapoff /dev/sdX#" | 23:30 |
| mneptok | *Canonical | 23:30 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | mneptok: is it supposed to download at 15kbps? | 23:30 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: there's no "supposed to" | 23:31 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: show me a software vendor that offers bandwidth guarantees when downloading their free stuff. bet ya can't. ;) | 23:31 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | Let me put it this way | 23:31 |
| === grekkos is now known as Guest17474 | ||
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | Has canonical even acknowledged there's an issue | 23:32 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: have you considered the issue may not be Canonical? | 23:32 |
| notNicolas | Okay, now I have some random unallocated memory. good enough. | 23:32 |
| itsme_ | hi coz_ | 23:32 |
| UbuntuSlowDownlo | Have you looked at the thing where other people are having the same issue | 23:32 |
| === itsme_ is now known as itsmee | ||
| chaddy | tis Friday, lots of people getting the linux bug for the weekend | 23:32 |
| spc_in_plc | UbuntuSlowDownlo, I am downloading Ubuntu right now 800 kb/s | 23:33 |
| YankDownUnder | "Linux bug" => yeah, upgrading machines, updating machines, installing software, tweaking servers. Lovely that. | 23:33 |
| mneptok | UbuntuSlowDownlo: "the thing" is a bit ... non-specific. | 23:33 |
| spc_in_plc | Goodnight everyone! | 23:34 |
| chriswr_ | gnight | 23:34 |
| cesc39 | Hi there. I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on a notebook and currently I'm on my desktop pc with dual boot ubuntu 10.04 and win7. I think I like more the GUI from 10.04 rather than the new 11.04. Don't like that left sidebar on 11.04. What do you guys think? What are your thoughts. | 23:34 |
| ubuntu__ | coz_ | 23:34 |
| Huffameg | hello! i have trouble with my spotify (through wine) installation. my problem is that every time I go into wine configuration to activate the oss driver it deactivates itself when I press okay so that spotify doesn't have any drivers to run from. i don't understand how to keep the driver activated. can someone please help? | 23:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | !classic | cesc39 | 23:35 |
| ubottu | cesc39: 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". | 23:35 |
| chaddy | cesc39: if you don't like unity try logging into classic ubuntu, not compulsory | 23:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | cesc39, #ubuntu-offtopic if you want discussion | 23:35 |
| chaddy | personally I generally like unity | 23:35 |
| qin | cesc39: Classic session in Natty have same gui what 10.04. | 23:35 |
| YankDownUnder | cesc39, Hehehehehe...on my 11.04 installs, I completely remove Unity and the scrollbars and set it up to just use Gnome2 (Ubuntu Classic) so that the machine(s) at least WORK the way I prefer them to work. | 23:35 |
| alphamanatiso | Hi. I'm trying to run silc on ubuntu 11.04. I have installed the package, but I can't figure out how to get it work in irssi. | 23:35 |
| cesc39 | oh great to hear you can switch between both.. thanks a lot. | 23:36 |
| drake01 | @cesc39 Dude, try to reduce the launcher icon size from unity plugin in ccsm. Say to 38-40 or less whatever. | 23:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | drake01, FYI using a @ actually prevents highlighting - this isn't twitter/identi.ca | 23:37 |
| drake01 | zykotick9, thanks | 23:37 |

| ZykoticK9 | Guest123456, saves your passwords | 23:48 |
| bazhang | !details | ubuntu__ | 23:48 |
| ubottu | ubuntu__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:48 |
| Guest123456 | Oh. How do I access this | 23:48 |
| bazhang | Guest123456, using wifi now? | 23:49 |
| JCii | pmap | 23:49 |
| The_Pugilist | i am trying to fix partitions on a 11.04 box which has a lvm, i am trying to do fsck from a live cd but i cannot for some reason can anyone help me? | 23:49 |
| Guest123456 | yes, bazhang | 23:49 |
| Guest123456 | it goes "make password for a new keyring called default" | 23:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest123456, "seahorse" perhaps | 23:49 |
| Guest123456 | I just left it unencrypted | 23:49 |
| bazhang | Guest123456, did it not prompt you for a keyring password? | 23:49 |
| Guest123456 | It did prompt for password | 23:49 |
| Guest123456 | Eh, I'm just recovering files off a dead disk, I don't really need one | 23:50 |
| bazhang | Guest123456, put one if you wish | 23:50 |
| bazhang | Guest123456, then leave it blank | 23:50 |
| ubuntu__ | whart | 23:50 |
| The_Pugilist | i am trying to start eh LVM group from the live cd but i am getting 'daemon is inhibited' as an error... what does this mean? | 23:50 |
| Guest123456 | Ok. But for future reference - how would I access keyrings? | 23:50 |
| bazhang | ubuntu__, dont repeat the exact same question, with so few details; you will get zero response | 23:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest123456, "seahorse" perhaps | 23:50 |
| Guest123456 | oh wait | 23:51 |
| Guest123456 | seahorse is a program? | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest123456, yes | 23:51 |
| Guest123456 | I thought you were suggesting seahorse as a password | 23:51 |
| bazhang | ZykoticK9, thats for gpg | 23:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest123456, sorry - my bad. Listen to bazhang | 23:51 |

| C_Smith | hey, I'm stuck on an error in Ubuntu Software Center, I have the error in Pastebin already here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632071/ , what I'm trying to do is install the Kubuntu desktop, and I'm installing the package "Full Kubuntu Desktop/Netbook system", and if someone could either A. help me with this error or B. point me to the right package if I'm installing the wrong one, I'd appreciate it. | 23:54 |
| Guest123456 | Wait. How do I see the passwords I have stored in my keyrings in "Passwords and Encryption Keys" | 23:54 |
| C_Smith | man, a longer post than the actual pastebin contents.... | 23:54 |
| neurochrome | ok, so I left a script going to install a load of packages... got back and it's errored due to running out of space. I can't uninstall anything before running sudo apt-get -f install, but that wants to install and can't | 23:54 |
| neurochrome | how to fix this and break the loop? | 23:54 |
| bazhang | C_Smith, how about from the terminal, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 23:55 |
| C_Smith | neueochrome, maybe a hard reboot? | 23:55 |
| C_Smith | Vbazhang, I'll try that. | 23:55 |
| neurochrome | C_Smith, last time I did that it got seriously pwned and booted into low graphics mode with the same issue | 23:56 |
| C_Smith | looks like that is working. | 23:56 |
| C_Smith | neurochrome, well, I'm out of ideas. | 23:56 |
| C_Smith | btw, what's the Ubuntu general chat channel? | 23:57 |
| neurochrome | C_Smith, I fixed this last time by resizing / and then removing packages.... I don't want to do that again | 23:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ot > C_Smith | 23:57 |
| ubottu | C_Smith, please see my private message | 23:57 |
| neurochrome | must be a way to force remove | 23:57 |
| bazhang | C_Smith, I believe the netbook package for kubuntu is plasma netbook, but you might try apt-cache search plasma to confirm | 23:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | neurochrome, may i ask how large your / partition is? | 23:58 |
| C_Smith | thanks for the link. | 23:58 |
| ubun | i found some instructions that say to do this "sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.38 cd /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38 sudo tar jxf linux-source-2.6.38.tar.bz2" the person is on NATTY im on 10.04 (lucid?) can i still do this? | 23:58 |
| bazhang | C_Smith, #ubuntu-offtopic is the chat channel | 23:58 |
| bazhang | ubun, why would you ever want to | 23:58 |
| neurochrome | ZykoticK9, you can... 15gb smaller than I thought it was | 23:59 |
| neurochrome | 15gb | 23:59 |
| ubun | bazhang: to install EASYCAP... part of the instructions... | 23:59 |
| ubun | bazhang: what does that do? | 23:59 |
| Alexander | test | 23:59 |
| bazhang | ubun easycap for natty? | 23:59 |
| Alexander | sorry,bye | 23:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | neurochrome, well, that's at least "reasonable" - obviously not large enough, but reasonable | 23:59 |
| flowbee__ | i need to sign a PDF signature page; is there a fast & easy way to do that | 23:59 |
| bazhang | !test > Alexander | 23:59 |
| ubottu | Alexander, please see my private message | 23:59 |
| ubun | bazhang: no for 10.04 | 23:59 |
