| linusA | the problem is this. sometimes pulse audio crashes and when it respawns it just uses a default boot | 00:01 |
| mickster04 | pesstoss: try installing samba first, one way is to try and share a foder, then uibuntu tells you what to install :) | 00:01 |

| cyperbg | I've been trying to setup Ubuntu for the past 5 days | 00:07 |
| Padge | Is it conventional to tell people to RTFM in a support channel? | 00:07 |
| rileyp | I attemped a make and amke install and it didnt go well | 00:07 |

| bernice | rileyp: you can start over with this: make clean | 00:08 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: i remember having a similar problem with a ralink pci modem one time and it was very finnicky but ultimately worked | 00:08 |
| bernice | make clean removes any files created by configure and make | 00:08 |
| rileyp | bernice in which dir do I need to be? | 00:09 |
| Kazilla | cyperbg, i normally use usb adapters and it works fine | 00:09 |
| cyperbg | Chipzzz I think of reinstalling everything again and try to locate the exact step after which the connection goes haywire | 00:09 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: i don't remember the specific problem but do remember that it had to do with the encryption not persisting between boots | 00:09 |
| rileyp | as I have deleted the v4l I dl as it was the wrong one | 00:09 |
| cyperbg | so any other suggestions before reinstaling for the 5th time? | 00:09 |
| brewster | mrdopeman: try this: make a new launcher on the desktop and for the command put compiz --replace | 00:09 |
| bernice | rileyp: in the directory that has the README and TODO files, etc | 00:09 |
| brewster | that worked for me a while back | 00:09 |
| rileyp | bernice as I have deleted the v4l I dl as it was the wrong one | 00:10 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: what does iwconfig say? | 00:10 |
| rileyp | bernice so i need to dl the correct one | 00:10 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: nothing comes immediately to mind | 00:10 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: ... let me scroll up a bit.... | 00:10 |

| brewster | mrdopeman: did it work? | 00:13 |
| brewster | for ctrl+alt+t? | 00:13 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: -72dBm is pretty weak | 00:13 |
| bernice | rileyp: the step cd media_build/linux should take you to the correct directory | 00:13 |

| cyperbg | the ubuntu website says it should use ar9170usb | 00:15 |
| cyperbg | but the connection information says for driver only usb | 00:15 |
| rileyp | rileyp: the step cd media_build/linux should take you to the correct directory sorry I ddint see that | 00:16 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: lsmod shows ar9170usb? | 00:16 |
| rileyp | bernice, he step cd media_build/linux should take you to the correct directory sorry I ddint see that | 00:16 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Wired is better. Do you have an ethernet device and can you use it instead? | 00:16 |
| Jake7 | Question: What is the compatibility status of 11.04 on a Asus Eee PC 1000? Ubuntu only shows compatibility to 10.04 LTS | 00:16 |
| bernice | rileyp: its ok | 00:17 |

| mrdopeman | brewster had to reboot | 00:17 |

| wildgoose | !poll | Padge | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Padge: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 00:19 |
| cyperbg | Chipzzz doesn't return anything lsmod | grep ar9170usb | 00:19 |
| mrdopeman | is there no way to fix the stupid menubar? | 00:19 |
| mrdopeman | cant be that hard | 00:19 |
| rileyp | bernice yes | 00:19 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: What is the ouput of the command lsmod |grep ar9170 ? | 00:19 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: then it didn't load the module | 00:19 |
| Padge | I apologize | 00:19 |
| brewster | try typing gnome-session --replace | 00:19 |
| cyperbg | how can I load it manually? | 00:19 |
| brewster | i think that's the command | 00:19 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: sudo modprobe ar9170usb | 00:20 |
| gsr | I've been searching google file a while now, but I can't find an answer. What's the difference between libapache2-mod-php5 and libapache2-mod-php5filter? | 00:20 |

| Kazilla | Padge: type smb:\\ | 00:20 |
| Kazilla | like http | 00:20 |
| Kazilla | its forwardslah or backslash cant reemmber | 00:21 |
| Padge | Kazilla: I had forgotten that. Is there any reason browsing through the "Network -> Windows Network" doesn't work? Is it even supposed to work like that? | 00:21 |
| louis_ | i think canonical did too many changes in 11.04 not all things checked properly :) | 00:21 |
| coldpizza72i | here we go again....my computer crashed, i cant ping it, but the fan at the very lesast is still on | 00:21 |
| mrdopeman | brewster | 00:22 |
| mrdopeman | i fixed it | 00:22 |
| Kazilla | i don't know how ubuntu reconises WINS / netBIOS, however i always just connect directly | 00:22 |
| brewster | what did you do? | 00:22 |
| cyperbg | terry_ sudo modprobe ar9170usb returned an emtpty line, but after that when I typed lsmod | grep ar9170usb it got me 3 lines | 00:22 |
| mrdopeman | gnome-panel --replace | 00:22 |
| cyperbg | which were missing before | 00:22 |
| brewster | that's what i was looking for | 00:22 |
| cyperbg | shall I restart? | 00:22 |
| mrdopeman | all back to normal | 00:22 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: No, do not restart. | 00:22 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Try to connect. | 00:23 |

| brewster | the irc client? | 00:23 |
| mrdopeman | yes | 00:23 |

| chouchou | I am using ubuntu via VMware and I wan my php applications to be able to send emails | 00:24 |

| chouchou | 00:24 | |
| brewster | oh no that's the irc client i use | 00:24 |
| mrdopeman | its just bitchx its no network problem | 00:24 |
| chouchou | ok | 00:24 |
| mrdopeman | infinity do you know bitchx? | 00:24 |
| cyperbg | terry_ no i can't ping my router and the Connection Information still says Driver: usb | 00:25 |
| cyperbg | the funny thing is everything works great when I load it Live from a USB flash drive | 00:25 |
| Flannel | mrdopeman: bitchX has been removed from the repositories (a long while ago) because the developers weren't supporting it. | 00:26 |
| cyperbg | and now it is installed on a usb flash drive | 00:26 |
| Padge | So, nautilus is not displaying SMB shares that exist. Is this a common problem? | 00:26 |
| mrdopeman | Flannel i have installed it from universe repo | 00:26 |
| mrdopeman | it works fine except it disconnects when idle over 1min | 00:26 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: modprobe will load the module but you need to know the parameters for it to be useful once loaded | 00:26 |
| mrdopeman | i love it for sentimental reasons | 00:27 |
| BondMan | hey | 00:27 |

| mrdopeman | why ? | 00:27 |

| brewster | mrdopeman: try out kvirc4. | 00:29 |
| brewster | it's a really great irc client | 00:29 |

| cyperbg | the location is fine | 00:30 |

| mrdopeman | if the one from unverse repo keep failing ill compile from source again | 00:31 |
| Cydd | watch your language mrdopeman | 00:31 |
| mrdopeman | Cydd??? | 00:31 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Yes, load the liveCD again and compare. | 00:31 |
| Cydd | you said a bad word | 00:31 |
| Kazilla | chouchou: yes you need to use an external smtp server | 00:31 |
| mrdopeman | its name of a program | 00:31 |
| Padge | Is there another channel where Ubuntu is supported? | 00:31 |
| compdoc | bitchx is an irc program | 00:31 |
| coldpizza72i | how could you tell if a headless gpu is working properly? | 00:31 |

| terry_ | cyperbg: Is this a 11.04 install? | 00:32 |
| chouchou | Kazilla, ok, currently my hosting account is getting expired, can I use google ? | 00:32 |

| terry_ | cyperbg: Is it fully updated? | 00:32 |
| cntb | misunderstanding mrdopeman Cydd true name of a prog | 00:32 |
| chouchou | google mail? do they provide SMTP ? | 00:32 |
| louis_ | yes | 00:32 |
| cyperbg | no, I haven't updated it, but why would that matter when the Live CD has no connection issues? | 00:32 |
| tonyyarusso | chouchou: How do you think they would provide an e-mail service without it? | 00:32 |
| Kazilla | chouchou: i think google and yahoo do yeah | 00:33 |
| mrdopeman | what is the correct way to install acrobat reader in 10.10 ? | 00:33 |
| cyperbg | terry_ I've used this guide http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10608.0 | 00:33 |

| Jake7 | Question: What is the compatibility status of 11.04 on a Asus Eee PC 1000? Ubuntu only shows compatibility to 10.04 LTS | 00:33 |
| mrdopeman | it seems adobes installer was what killed my menubar | 00:33 |
| tonyyarusso | cyperbg: Do you really *need* Acrobat? Is there a particular reason Evince won't work for you? | 00:33 |

| cyperbg | terry_ - I have no problems updating, because when I fresh install it there are no connection issues | 00:33 |
| cordell | or okular? | 00:33 |
| louis_ | i specially love the ubuntu doc viewer its fu.ing fast :) | 00:33 |
| brewster | mrdopeman: I had 10.10 and that taskbar thing seemed to be normal | 00:33 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: If the liveCD connects ok, the 11.04 install should connect ok as well after updates. Before updates, all bets are off. | 00:33 |
| mrdopeman | i just wondered coz adobe is gone from menu | 00:34 |
| chouchou | ok | 00:34 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: You have no problems updating? (Yet you say that you have not done updates yet? | 00:35 |

| cyperbg | terry_ I haven't updates because I skipped that - maybe I should have - it was a personal choice | 00:36 |
| brewster | Cydd: yes :] | 00:36 |
| cyperbg | terry_ the LIve CD works great | 00:36 |

| terry_ | cyperbg: My suggestion is to conect to the wired network and do updates. | 00:37 |
| keyboardtalk | infinity_: cifs was not working, I installed smbfs, now mounts fine with cifs | 00:37 |
| Cydd | just acknowledgement BondMan | 00:38 |
| cyperbg | terry_ - the problem is in the wireless connection when the Ubuntu is installed on the drive. When using the Live CD there are no connection issues. Why would updating has to do anything with my problem? | 00:38 |
| cyperbg | do you want to connect and have a look? | 00:39 |
| cyperbg | yiu can access it from the internet | 00:39 |
| Padge | So, I can ping Google, but I can't ping my Windows machine which is on the same switch | 00:39 |

| terry_ | BondMan: sudo apt-get -f install | 00:40 |
| cyperbg | Chipzzz of course it is, how else would you see it from the Internet? | 00:40 |
| BondMan | terry_: i get that with everyinstall | 00:40 |
| BondMan | terry_: there must be a problem | 00:41 |
| cyperbg | Chipzzz and also you don't need forwarding when connecting locally, but that is not the problem | 00:41 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Do updates. | 00:41 |
| Kazilla | cafezim: i'm sure theres alot of people in ##java that need help cafezim! | 00:41 |
| cyperbg | the problem is the stupid Ubuntu doesn't want to talk properly with my USB dongle wwhen it is installed on a hard drive | 00:41 |
| maco | cafezim: "apt-cache rdepends openjdk-6-jre" should tell you what packages use java in ubuntu, then you can look them up on bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu and see if there's anything that needs to be fixed in them that you can handle. #ubuntu-motu can help you get your patches in | 00:41 |
| thewarrenterror | can anyone recommend a good text editor for the bash shell? Not vi, or vim - so far I like pico the best for C coding but even that's not really doin it for me. | 00:41 |
| cyperbg | terry_ I really appreciate your help so far but there is no logic in thinking that doing updates will fix the issue | 00:42 |

| cyperbg | terry_ why would the LIve CD has no connection issue then? Does it have any updates? | 00:47 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: i think he means to update the hard disk installation with a wired connection | 00:47 |
| cyperbg | Chipzzz I can update wirelessly | 00:47 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Do you understand that the liveCD and the actual install are two different systems? They are similar but not same. | 00:47 |
| terry_ | Chipzzz: Yes, that is what I said. | 00:48 |
| cyperbg | when I do a fresh install the wireless works for a while untill a couple of restart later... | 00:48 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: Obviously you can not, because you say that you are unable to connect wirelessly. Right? Is that not your issue? | 00:48 |
| ale` | yes in vlc | 00:49 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: My suggestion is to conect to the wired network and do updates. | 00:49 |

| cesc39 | hi guys. I have a dual boot desktop pc with ubuntu 10.04 and win7. I'd like to sort out the garbage that my GRUB menu is at the moment. How do I do it? | 01:25 |
| szal | Pathin: don't IRC as root.. | 01:25 |
| rhin0 | cesc39 I think you can edit the grub settings | 01:25 |
| tonyyarusso | Padge: No, just related to Ubuntu support. | 01:25 |
| Padge | tonyyarusso: What is ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| sudokill | cesc39, what do u mean garbage? if u edit the menu.lst file you can clean up entries | 01:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Padge: If you don't know that, you're in the wrong channel. | 01:26 |
| maujhsn | Can anyone solve this issue? http://pastebin.com/J15mdiEe | 01:26 |
| Padge | tonyyarusso: The point is, what if we ask about some tool that is part of the Ubuntu distro | 01:26 |
| rhin0 | cesc39: Grime is a Gtk+ based front-end for configuring the appearence of GRUB's boot menu. Grime allows you to modify the menu colors, import and select a splash image, or hide the menu. It is meant to be used in conjunction with other tools that edit the GRUB menu contents, such as GNOME System Tools or Debian's update-grub, not an all-in-one configuration utility such as grubconf. | 01:26 |
| tonyyarusso | Padge: That's fine. | 01:26 |
| Padge | So I have a question about Samba | 01:27 |
| Padge | Is Samba included in the Ubuntu distro? | 01:27 |
| Padge | 11.04 | 01:27 |
| tonyyarusso | yes | 01:27 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: two things... the similar problem i had with the ralink modem way back when was solved by manually entering its params in /etc/network/interfaces... it shouldn't have worked but it did | 01:28 |
| rhin0 | samba is networking never had a need for it use nfs or share printers | 01:28 |
| cesc39 | I have a long list of ubuntu distributions, I mean as time as past and update have been applied the list has grown... I just want the most up to date ubuntu and windows 7. | 01:28 |
| rhin0 | nfs is simpler | 01:28 |
| Starminn | Banshee crashed on me. The error Banshee gave was: http://pastie.org/2122608 while an attempt to run from terminal was: http://pastie.org/2122611 Any assistance is appreciated. :) (Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit) | 01:28 |
| Padge | rhin0: Are you trying to access SMB shares? | 01:28 |
| sudokill | cesc39, just edit menu.lst and delete the lines of the old distros | 01:28 |
| Chipzzz | cyperbg: second thing is i found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 which may be helpful | 01:28 |

| cesc39 | sudokill how do I edit menu.lst? can you tell me step by step? | 01:29 |
| rhin0 | padge i ditched samba personally nfs is simper | 01:29 |
| w1n5ton | Is there a right way to install firefox 4 on ubuntu? | 01:29 |
| rhin0 | padge I never got samba to work nfs is simpler works fine also I have a fine nfs command brb | 01:29 |
| will123456 | hey guys. how on earth can i an extra boot menu option to grub without grub removing it next time it decides to do that thing where it rescans everything? | 01:29 |
| w1n5ton | The repo I added updates it to firefox 5.0 beta 1 which I do not want | 01:29 |
| rhin0 | if you get nfs working use this will speed it up brb | 01:29 |

| rhin0 | ^ speeds up nfs | 01:30 |
| Padge | rhin0: SMB shares. Can you access SMB shares with nfs. I don't really know the scope of nfs | 01:30 |
| rhin0 | blockiing no atime etdc | 01:30 |
| Starminn | w1n5ton: Firefox 4 is end of life | 01:30 |
| rhin0 | speeds it up | 01:30 |
| w1n5ton | end of life? | 01:30 |
| LekeFly | Could someone give me a hand with vsftpd ? thse are my .conf settings http://pastebin.com/wYHgFMEs i cant upload files.. gives me "Premission denied" | 01:30 |
| sudokill | cesc, i think the file it /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:30 |
| rhin0 | sorry no idea bought nfs once actually bought it what is it use nfs | 01:30 |
| rhin0 | samba | 01:31 |
| rhin0 | use nfs not samba | 01:31 |
| w1n5ton | Starminn, | 01:31 |
| Starminn | w1n5ton: Yes, Mozilla is no longer supprting it | 01:31 |
| Padge | rhin0: Do you use nfs on Windows? | 01:31 |
| w1n5ton | wtf | 01:31 |
| rhin0 | ok ... no idea | 01:31 |
| w1n5ton | It came out like a month ago | 01:31 |
| rhin0 | im sure you can mount through nfs with windows | 01:32 |
| Padge | rhin0: Perhaps our needs are different. I have SMB shares on a Windows machine that I'm trying to access with an Ubuntu machine. | 01:32 |
| sudokill | w1n5ton, yes firefox gets new versions quicker now | 01:32 |
| cesc39 | How do I edit menu.lst? Can someone tell me? | 01:32 |
| Padge | rhin0: I'm not using Samba on the Windows machine. SMB is a Microsoft technology. | 01:32 |
| w1n5ton | Say I wanted to downgrade to the previous version | 01:32 |
| rhin0 | padge i have never got smb to work | 01:32 |
| w1n5ton | How would I do this? | 01:32 |
| will123456 | LekeFly: what port are you connecting on? | 01:32 |
| rhin0 | i know | 01:32 |
| sudokill | cesc39, i think it's boot /grub/menu.lst | 01:32 |
| rhin0 | never got it to work | 01:32 |
| maujhsn | Can anyone solve this projectm-libvisual issue? http://pastebin.com/J15mdiEe | 01:32 |
| spacebug- | LekeFly: I dont use vsftpd but what is the permission on the folder you try to upload to and what uid is the the user getting when connecting? | 01:32 |
| LekeFly | will123456: 21 | 01:33 |
| sudokill | cesc39, if so, do gksudo gedit /bot/grub/menu.lstthen delete the lines of the old disteos | 01:33 |
| LekeFly | spacebug-: How can i check permission? and whats uid? | 01:33 |
| Starminn | w1n5ton: Mozilla changed their policy: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/167537/20110622/mozilla-stops-security-support-for-firefox-4-firefox-5-firefox-3-6-google-chrome-eol-end-of-life-sec.htm they are now on a rapid-release schedule, and Firefox 5 is now the latest current version. If you wish to downgrade to an unsecure version, no longer receiving patches, there may be a way, but I wouldn't happen to know it. Just find a .deb for it | 01:33 |
| spacebug- | if you connect as a user where do you come to? what local dir? | 01:33 |
| LekeFly | spacebug-: www | 01:34 |
| LekeFly | spacebug-: download works | 01:34 |
| w1n5ton | I hate bleeding edge versions | 01:34 |
| w1n5ton | Especially of web browsers | 01:34 |
| spacebug- | then what is the mode for www? | 01:34 |
| w1n5ton | This is a load of bs if you ask me, why would mozilla do that? | 01:34 |
| cesc39 | sudokill I have opened a terminal window and typed gksudo gedit /bot/grub/menu.lst and a new window has opened but it is empty... blank | 01:34 |
| LekeFly | spacebug-: http://cl.ly/0F0r0E3O29421S0f0725 | 01:35 |
| w1n5ton | The compatibility of my addons is my biggest concern | 01:35 |
| Padge | So, can anyone make heads or tails of this: http://pastebin.com/Vy4pPY4j | 01:35 |
| qin | cesc39: menu.lst is past! Try: less /etc/default/grub | 01:35 |
| will123456 | w1n5ton: it's called chrome envy | 01:35 |
| will123456 | it's freudian | 01:35 |
| qin | !grub2 | cesc39 | 01:36 |
| Starminn | w1n5ton: Yep.. 'Cuz Google does it, it must be a great idea. Discussion of this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic, though. | 01:36 |
| ubottu | cesc39: 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) | 01:36 |

| Willther | some good program for security test? | 01:36 |
| Kazilla | Willther: nmap, metasploit | 01:37 |
| Willther | nmap really, very good | 01:37 |
| Padge | I can't get Ubunto to see my windows shares. | 01:37 |
| Willther | i don't know yeat metaspoit | 01:37 |
| Padge | My windows and android machines see it, but not this Ubuntu machine. | 01:38 |
| LekeFly | spacebug-: Any ideas what it could be? | 01:38 |
| cesc39 | I'm going to restart so I'll write down exactly which grub version appears on when I switch on my pc | 01:38 |
| LibertyBeta | Any on know of a gui config for wacom? | 01:38 |
| Padge | Samba is installed -- do I need to rummage through a config file somewhere to make Windows shares show up in Nautilus? | 01:38 |

| louis__ | hi again :) now I have chatzilla but it says it is connects to irc channels. how can i connect to a web based chat? | 01:42 |
| cesc_ | I'm Cesc39... ok.. 1.98 - 1ubuntu12 GNU GRUB is what it says | 01:43 |
| cesc_ | how do I edit the list? | 01:43 |
| Starminn | louis__: Define "web based chat" | 01:43 |
| Kazilla | louis__: all ubuntu chats are on irc | 01:44 |
| louis__ | for example: www.chat.hu that is a chat website | 01:44 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| louis__ | i may mistaken with chat things... and there is no way to join into website chat | 01:47 |
| Starminn | louis__: IRC is IRC. Web based chats are web based chats. They are not equal to each other. | 01:47 |
| louis__ | starminn: yeah i got it... thanks anyway :) | 01:47 |
| Starminn | louis__: You can connect to IRC through a browser (like Chatzilla), but IRC is something differenct. Ask in #freenode. That would be the ebst place for this. | 01:48 |
| sailerboy | hey there, if i wanted to switch from an amd card to an nvidia card,and i have fglrx installed, aside from uninstalling it, what else should i do? | 01:48 |

| imaudi | bazhang: Basically when I hit "Forward" in the installer, it just spins forever. | 02:02 |
| bobweaver | imaudi, alt cd or from ubuntu .com | 02:02 |
| bazhang | imaudi, at what stage exactly. please be very clear. | 02:02 |
| ArTiSTiX | bobweaver: rfkill give me my eth0 and hci0, and both are unblocked | 02:02 |
| bobweaver | is it frzzing at you uname and password part | 02:02 |
| imaudi | bobbyd: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso from ubuntu.com | 02:02 |
| ry | basically so when i use edge scrolling on my touchpad, i canj ust "flick" down with my finger and the page scrolls for a bit, or until i touch again to make it stop scrolling | 02:02 |
| bobweaver | ArTiSTiX, no bluetooth | 02:02 |
| bazhang | imaudi, thats not the info I asked for | 02:03 |
| bobweaver | ArTiSTiX, rfkill unblock bluetooth | 02:03 |
| imaudi | it's the very first screen, "Preparing to install Ubuntu" when you can select if you want to download updates during install, etc | 02:03 |
| imaudi | I believe it has something to do with the drive controller configuration | 02:03 |
| bobweaver | imaudi, did you check you nd5sum # | 02:03 |
| imaudi | I'm trying again with RAID1 instead | 02:03 |
| bazhang | imaudi, md5 the iso, reburn at low speed, do the disk integrity check. also, dont use cheap media | 02:03 |
| qin | bazhang: type=livetv 8000* (pids for live brodcast do not work, in 2.67 version of get_iplayer, liveradio and any other pid work). So for: get_iplayer --get --type=livetv 80002 err is: INFO: No specified modes (flashhd,flashvhigh, etc... | 02:03 |

| cyperbg | terry_ | 02:21 |
| cyperbg | sudo apt-get update | 02:21 |
| cyperbg | or do I use Administration/Update Manager | 02:21 |
| terry_ | cyperbg: sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:21 |
| cyperbg | what is the sudo apt-get update for? | 02:22 |
| ArTiSTiX | bobweaver: i find nothing special... there is even a toshiba_bluetooth module to turn it on through acpi | 02:22 |
| cyperbg | oh I think I do update first and upgrade second | 02:22 |
| bobweaver | ArTiSTiX, /join ubutnu-beginers to much going on | 02:23 |
| Starminn | cyperbg: update essentially makes everything available, upgrade installs it. Or you can use Update Manager to achieve the same | 02:23 |
| spacebug- | cyperbg: update reloads the list of packaged and the versions from the servers. upgrade upgrades all packages that have been found haveing newver version on server than installed local | 02:23 |

| szal | with what? | 02:25 |
| iAlejo | thx, i have a problem installing pycrypto | 02:25 |
| imaudi | Oh hey here's a stupid question that hopefully won't result in too many flames.. I think GRUB is the thing causing issues - can I just not use it? I have no other OS on the system. | 02:26 |
| szal | define 'a problem' | 02:26 |
| cyperbg | is it a good idea to install many packages with one command such as sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-numpy subversion g++ libboost-all-dev libqtgui4 openntpd | 02:26 |
| terry_ | iAlejo: If you ask a question that is specivically relevant to your issue, someone here will more-than-likely have some advice for you. | 02:26 |
| szal | imaudi: what issues? | 02:26 |
| iAlejo | warning: GMP library not found; Not building Crypto.PublicKey._fastmath. | 02:26 |
| spacebug- | cyperbg: sure | 02:27 |
| terry_ | *specifically | 02:27 |
| andrezip | someone tell me why the #ubuntu-br this down? | 02:27 |

| cyperbg | spacebug- and that won't cause any problems? | 02:28 |
| szal | imaudi: define 'failed' | 02:28 |
| terry_ | cybrside: I would suggest sudo apt-get upgrade first. Best to start out with fully updated system. | 02:28 |
| imaudi | szal: Error 22 - no partition | 02:28 |
| spacebug- | cyperbg: no. there might be some kind of limit, like the length of the line the terminal can handle or such | 02:28 |
| bazhang | imaudi, you are using legacy grub? | 02:28 |
| szal | imaudi: typo -> it's 'hd0,0' with a comma | 02:29 |
| bazhang | imaudi, what ubuntu version is that? | 02:29 |
| imaudi | szal: I've tried in both ubuntu and opensuse - same grub error | 02:29 |
| bazhang | imaudi, you are using suse? | 02:29 |
| cyperbg | spacebug- thank you :) | 02:29 |
| imaudi | bazhang: Yea I'm trying Suse right now, gave up with Ubuntu cuz the installer wasn't working.. howver I got the same GRUB2 error before | 02:29 |
| szal | imaudi: (1) openSUSE uses Grub 1 as opposed to *buntu using Grub 2, (2) openSUSE issues are not discussed here# | 02:29 |

| bazhang | ##windows ownlife | 02:35 |
| ownlife | Thanks sir | 02:35 |

| cyperbg | so after running sudo apt-get upgrade how can I confirm there are no more updates to install? Would doing sudo apt-get upgrade again install everything all over again? | 02:36 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, no, it's set | 02:37 |
| imaudi | ok this new Ubuntu disc is working, let's see if Grub installs | 02:37 |
| imaudi | otherwise I'm saying screw RAID | 02:37 |
| cyperbg | so it it safe to run the same command twice just to check everything necessary got installed the first time | 02:37 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, safe bu t not needed | 02:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | cyperbg, sure - redundant however | 02:37 |

| Benkinooby | hi, i installed some additional repositories (some ppa, skype,...) how can i get back to a standard setting? removing the repositories will keep the packages untouched... even after aptitude updaten && aptitude safe-upgrade | 02:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Benkinooby, you could research ppa-purge (I've never used it, so can't really comment on its function) to remove the PPA stuff. | 02:43 |
| imaudi | szal: Ok here's the error: Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda — Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. — this is a fatal error | 02:45 |
| Benkinooby | ZykoticK9, ok, thak you for the hint! appreciate it | 02:45 |
| imaudi | So now my choices are "Choose a different device to install the bootloader on", "Continue without a bootloader" or "Cancel the installation" | 02:47 |
| K725 | look this http://goo.gl/UUnh7 the x-man humans mutants is reals ??? | 02:48 |
| imaudi | though any option I select, the "OK" button does nothing.. dang this installer is buggy | 02:48 |
| C_Smith | seriously, #winehq has been less helpful to me than trying to figure the problem out myself (which never works) and less helpful than their forums (which someone usually helps me.) | 02:49 |
| vandemar | the installer is not very friendly dealing with unusual (raid/lvm) setups. | 02:49 |
| C_Smith | ooops, wrong tab. *flees* | 02:49 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: RAID1 is unusual? | 02:49 |
| vandemar | yes, sadly | 02:50 |
| K725 | is very ? the very mutants humans | 02:50 |
| cyperbg | so I guess I should restart after sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:51 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: Hmm ok.. I think I'll give up on RAID and just install normally.. | 02:51 |
| vandemar | imaudi: it took me a few runs through the installer to figure out what sequence it wanted me to do things | 02:51 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, was it a kernel upgrade? | 02:51 |
| vandemar | imaudi: are you using the standard cd/dvd image or the alternate? | 02:51 |
| cyperbg | bazhang I'm not sure all I did was sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:51 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: From what I can tell, it's trying to install the boot loader on sda (the primary drive, not the mirror) which of course fails | 02:51 |
| cyperbg | but I guess it doesn't hurt to reboot | 02:52 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: Standard CD | 02:52 |
| vandemar | imaudi: the standard image was completely stupid. the alternate image I finally got to install | 02:52 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, check right hand top corner does it say reboot to finish upgrade? or just the normal logout, shutdown etc | 02:52 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: Lemme give that a shot.. Can you link me to it? | 02:52 |
| vandemar | imaudi: are you using pure software raid or intel ich<x> assisted? | 02:52 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: It's the Intel dealio on the motherboard.. the one you hit CTRL+I to get into | 02:53 |
| cyperbg | bazhang normal reboot/shut down | 02:53 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: "Intel Rapid Storage" they call it | 02:53 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, no need to reboot then | 02:53 |
| cyperbg | ok | 02:53 |
| vandemar | imaudi: I used software-only raid when I installed on on a pair of drives a few weeks ago | 02:54 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: Am I better off using software RAID and setting that up post install? can Linux just take a blank drive and say "hey mirror this" | 02:54 |
| vandemar | imaudi: I don't know what the performance differences might be, but I know software raid ended up working for me. | 02:55 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: Ok sounds like a good route.. though maybe I'll try the alternate CD image | 02:56 |
| metroider | hey, is there a way to safely test out the gnome 3 shell? or is it going to mess up my whole system? | 02:56 |
| imaudi | Vanadis__: The alternate installer looks more friendly.. old skool text without the eye candy, probably stuff just works | 02:57 |
| bazhang | metroider, not safe, you could boot a gnome3 distro though | 02:57 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | metroider | 02:57 |
| ubottu | metroider: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 02:57 |
| cyperbg | how can I disable that Keyring thing when I autologin? | 02:58 |
| metroider | bazhang: thanks, what is a good gnome3 distro? | 02:58 |
| cyperbg | I want to remote manage the desktop | 02:58 |
| bazhang | cyperbg, set it to blank | 02:59 |

| cyperbg | bazhang can you point me how? | 02:59 |

| ZykoticK9 | monx, I have NO idea about your actual issue - BUT /etc/passwd and the shadow file - are the system's user list and passwords. Nothing to do with your encrypted partition. | 03:34 |
| monx | I figure just reinstalling would be far easier than fixing whatever issue I have. (whenever I try to log in, i get thrown back to the login prompt with 'module unknown' printed) | 03:36 |
| monx | but if I reinstall keeping my home partition, will the unencryption still work properly on login if I use the same credentials for my user? | 03:37 |

| zerothis | hello Guest82269, please ask your question | 04:11 |
| jll | not that I know of, I just installed this version of ubuntu because I was told last night that the other one was corrupted | 04:11 |

| jll | I'm using 10.10 ubuntu | 04:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, are you using sun java? | 04:12 |

| jll | I installed all the restricted software in synaptic. | 04:13 |
| jll | related to java I meant | 04:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, did you SPECIFICALLY install sun java? if not you should! | 04:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | !java | jll | 04:13 |
| ubottu | jll: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 04:13 |
| jll | ubottu, do you remember me from last night? | 04:14 |
| ubottu | jll: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, u-r-e contains the free java, sun-java might give a different result (or the same?) | 04:14 |
| rileyp | I need help reinstalling v4l can anyone help me | 04:14 |
| AfTeRdArK | ммм | 04:14 |
| jll | zykotick9 can I install sun - java with synaptic or do I need to put in a lot of code in the terminal? | 04:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, you need to add the partner repo - then you can use synaptic | 04:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, you need to add the partner repo - and update your sources - then you can use synaptic | 04:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | !partner | jll | 04:16 |
| ubottu | jll: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 04:16 |
| Apple_Cat | My wireless fails after heavy usage. I can get about 6-7 minutes of around 500kb/s and then packet loss will jump to 100% and I have to restart the connection. I am using ath9k driver | 04:17 |
| Apple_Cat | Should I try to get the latest ath9k driver? | 04:18 |
| Apple_Cat | or try ndiswrapper maybe | 04:18 |
| jll | ok I have no clue as to what you are talking about zykotick9. How do I partner repo? | 04:19 |
| imaudi | am I correct in stating Ubuntu can't boot off a RAID0, only RAID1? | 04:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | can someone else assist jll with adding partner repo and installing sun-java plugin? thanks. | 04:20 |
| jll | ok I just upgraded the app install data partner, is that what you were talking about? zykotick9 | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | jll, yes - did it ask you to update as well? if not you could run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal. Once that's finished search for sun-java6 in synaptic and install the plugin. good luck! | 04:22 |

| shazzner_ | if I gksudo it works fine | 04:23 |
| alphaex | does apple keyboard compatible with pc ??（linux) | 04:24 |
| alphaex | anyone tried ?? | 04:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | rileyp, if you installed a version of v4l from source code - you should seek assistance directly from v4l (do they have a mailing list or forum?) | 04:24 |
| imaudi | alphaex: I have one, I can plug it in in a bit but I'm doing an install right now | 04:24 |
| alphaex | imaudi : what do you mean ?? | 04:24 |
| imaudi | alphaex: I have an Apple keyboard and a PC running Linux, I can plug it in and tell you if it works for me or not | 04:25 |
| rileyp | ZykoticK9, no one online at present Im logged in | 04:25 |
| jll | ok, it's installing, thank you. Do you know anything about antiX Linux? | 04:25 |
| alphaex | is it work fine or not ?? | 04:25 |
| jasongriffee | i cant save alsa settings like in blog | 04:25 |
| imaudi | alphaex: Don't know yet, I'm currently installing Linux (have been trying to figure out why it won't work with hardware RAID0 but I gave up) | 04:25 |
| BrainPalace | hi, I have a weird ubuntu problem | 04:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | rileyp, you basically now need their help removing the program. This is why compiling software is often a bad idea. Good luck. | 04:26 |
| rileyp | ZykoticK9, gee thanks | 04:26 |
| BrainPalace | every so often, ubuntu just decides to stop registering mouse clicks | 04:27 |
| BrainPalace | also is there a way to disable touchpad if I plug in a mouse? | 04:27 |
| imaudi | BrainPalace: Heh I had that problem before too on a MacBook.. the mouse would stop working but touchpad would sitll work.. I thnk it's just a ubuntu bug | 04:27 |
| BrainPalace | well, the mouse still works, but neither the touchpad or mouse will recognise me clicking anything unless I do some very strange stuff | 04:28 |
| alphaex | imaudi : Can you try now ?? (and thank for that ) | 04:28 |
| imaudi | alphaex: Yea one sec | 04:29 |
| BrainPalace | like ctrl alt del out and then manually use keyboard to select cancel shutdown | 04:29 |
| Riberty | how do i install libre office, the help page seems so difficult to understand | 04:29 |
| Riberty | i extracted the folder from the .tar.gz | 04:29 |
| imaudi | alphaex: Yup Apple keyboard works perfectly.. just plugged it in and typed, works out of the box.. 11.04 | 04:30 |
| Mazz_ | hey | 04:30 |
| IdleOne | Riberty: sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 04:30 |
| alphaex | imaudi : Are you using the wireless keyboard ?? | 04:30 |
| imaudi | alphaex: I've run ubuntu on a macbook pro once before too and that worked.. | 04:30 |
| Riberty | wait nevermind i didnt realize sudo dpkg -i *.deb installed all the debs fiels | 04:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, LibreOffice is in 11.04? Cool stuff. | 04:31 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: default yeah | 04:31 |
| imaudi | alphaex: Nope, just the standard white keyboard that came with my iMac | 04:31 |
| MagicJ | I have a system where the svreen saver will not run - I am getting the message: | 04:32 |
| MagicJ | I am getting th message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". - what do I need to fix? | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, GLX = OpenGL - you obviously don't have 3d acceleration right now. What graphics card are you using? | 04:33 |
| rileyp | v4l help please | 04:33 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: it is a used gateway machine - so I am not sure - can I tell the system not to use accelartion somehow | 04:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal to find graphics card | 04:34 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: and I am glad it is obvious to you - it wasn't to me | 04:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, sorry - bad word choice on my part. | 04:35 |
| alphaex | imaudi :alright, thank for that | 04:35 |
| sadiel | hello guise. Do you know how can I access the bios on a vaio laptop, so I can turn on boot from the usb and install linux on the damn box? | 04:35 |
| imaudi | no problem | 04:35 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: Doesn't vga have to be VGA? (capitalized?) | 04:35 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: no I was not suggesting a bad word choice - the reason I am here is because I am please it is obvious to you since it isn;t to me - getting that command right now too | 04:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, -i is case insenstive | 04:36 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: Aha! Makes sense, then. | 04:36 |
| paul_ | hi all, any ideas why I can't connect to google chat in the built in chat app | 04:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, that's why I always post the -i cause you're right a regular grep would require VGA, and many people wouldn't pick up on the need for captials | 04:37 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp 82945G | 04:37 |
| MadHaTTer666 | iz it jus me or iz fb gettin real fuzzy lately? | 04:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, that's a suprise! I would have figured Intel would have 3d out of the box. I'll do a quick search online to see if i can find anything. | 04:38 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: it may be the fact that this is one of three machines in my coffee shop and the disk was made by closning one of the others that was a dell and this is a gateway - the local uni sells used machones for $50 and that's what I use | 04:39 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: can I just not somehow tell the system to not use acceleration? | 04:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, could you tell me if this show as being installed "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel" | 04:40 |
| phux | how can i compile the latest vim with gVIm? (Im compiling the latest vim mercurial) | 04:40 |

| Kuzad | What does it mean when my system becomes unresponsive and the Caps-Lock key flashes? | 04:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kuzad, you system has "locked up" | 04:41 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: tells me that it is Installed | 04:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, i figured. I'll keep looking. | 04:41 |
| Kuzad | ZykoticK9, yes, it locks up, but what sort of error would cause a full lockup? This has only been happening on 11.04, it never happened in 10.10 or 10.04 | 04:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kuzad, i'm not going to comment on that... sorry i have no suggestions. | 04:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, from a terminal does "glxgears" work? | 04:43 |
| Kuzad | Anyone have any details? For why the system locks up and flashes the caps lock key? | 04:43 |
| NightOwl217 | Hows it going everyone? | 04:43 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: glxgears is not installed, do you want me to install it | 04:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, please (it's small) | 04:44 |
| imaudi | Ok how come I never thought to get dual 24"" screens before, this is fantastic.. | 04:44 |
| jll | it's still doing it, applet started and no game just blank. | 04:44 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: tells me it needs mesa-utils - shall I install that | 04:44 |
| phux | solved | 04:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, yup | 04:44 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: I am not on that machine - so it tells me that it can not open the display | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | MagicJ, that would also be why the 3d screen save doesn't work. Good luck - i'm done. | 04:45 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: what do you mean - I get the original problem when I am on that machine - so I am missing something here | 04:46 |
| MagicJ | ZykoticK9: it is just that right now I am not on that machine | 04:46 |
| imaudi | doh! This Unity thing just loaded when I installed new video drivers.. wth is everything? | 04:46 |

| imaudi | anyone on here use NVIDIA X Server? | 04:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | imaudi, ask the "real" question | 04:52 |
| imaudi | I just installed it, and now my second monitor won't come on.. it was working before I installed the Nvidia driver | 04:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | imaudi, "nvidia-settings" and enable the other monitor | 04:53 |
| jll | ah well, I guess I'll have to stick to windows! this sucks not having java working! | 04:53 |
| imaudi | I did, it said it required restarting x-server.. so I rebooted, but now the second monitor is disabled again | 04:53 |
| Kuzad | Well, Google was my friend. How would I recover from a Kernel Panic, aside from a hard reboot? | 04:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | imaudi, use the "Save to Xorg.conf" button to save the settings | 04:54 |
| imaudi | zykes-: Ok one sec | 04:54 |
| imaudi | err sorry ZykoticK9 | 04:54 |
| imaudi | btw, is there a way to restart x-server without rebooting? | 04:54 |

| ChaosSaber | jiltdil, my comp shows the same but I dont get locks up | 05:26 |
| parolang | Okay, sort of a newbie question, though I'm not really a newb. But I plug my USB drive (2TB hard drive) in, how do I find it? I can't find it in /dev/disk/ and dmesg doesn't really tell me where it is (it says "usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3") but I don't know how to interpret address 3 to get a mount point.

| ZykoticK9 | parolang, is the drive formatted? "sudo fisk -l" will list all partitions the system sees | 05:27 |
| parolang | ChaosSaber: I don't use GNOME, and I don't think it does the automount thing if you aren't logged into GNOME. | 05:27 |
| Kilgore_brass | yeah i am just hoping that the current driver will fix it | 05:28 |

| ubottu | jiltdil: File gstreamer-properties found in app-install-data, elementary-icon-theme, fvwm-crystal, gnome-icon-theme-dlg-neu, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux, gnome-icon-theme-nuovo, gnome-icon-theme-yasis, gnome-media, gnome-media-common (and 18 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gstreamer-properties&mode=&suite=natty&arch=any | 05:35 |
| Kilgore_brass | although I do think my download/installation of the current video driver is frozen and don't know what to do about it. =/ | 05:35 |
| pksadiq | !info gstreamer-properties | jiltdil | 05:35 |
| ubottu | jiltdil: Package gstreamer-properties does not exist in natty | 05:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, i'm not sure if this is your issue, but BIOS cannot recognize 2TB drives (but i figured it wouldn't be an issue until you tried to format, but maybe it is) | 05:35 |
| jiltdil | pksadiq: actually you have writeen above the wron comamnd you have missspelled see above this time you give the right one :) | 05:35 |
| Starminn | lonejack: Not sure if there's a simple way like you're thinking, as I don't use 11.04, but almost every application launcher can be found in /usr/bin | 05:36 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Hmm...not sure. I'm just trying to find the mount point. I know dmesg registers the device, and also lsusb sees it (as Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13fd:1617 Initio Corporation). I just don't know what /dev/ entry it corresponds to. | 05:37 |
| arooni-mobile | how do i change the key shortcut for workspace switcher? | 05:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, "sudo fdisk -l" SHOULD be showing us the /dev entry??? | 05:37 |
| chouchou | hello, pls how do we find location of file occurence in a system again ? | 05:38 |
| jiltdil | pksadiq: hm selecting no Xv also doenot solve the issue | 05:38 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Even if it is unmounted and not in fstab? | 05:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | chouchou, "which" or "locate" | 05:38 |
| pksadiq | jiltdil: sorry :) now watching a movie :) | 05:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, especially when it's not mounted ;) | 05:38 |
| chouchou | apart from locate, what else? | 05:38 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Because it isn't in there (the list is the same when I have it plugged in and when I unplug it). | 05:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | chouchou, last resort is "find" | 05:38 |
| Kilgore_brass | is there a way to force close this "additional drivers" window that has frozen while trying to download and install the current driver for my graphics card? Or will that mess something up | 05:39 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: So how come dmesg and lsusb see it, but fdisk doesn't? | 05:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, sorry i can't help then. The dmesg you quoted earlier does show the device as being partially recognized, but if we don't get a /dev their either - it's not "really" working | 05:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, i'm worried it's due to the 2tb size (but I'm really not sure) | 05:41 |
| lonejack | Stammin, I solved by mean of menu manager(for you knowledge)... and thank you! | 05:41 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Okay, thanks. I'll continue troubleshooting, trying it on another computer to see if the disk is to blame. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my ignorance to blame :) | 05:41 |
| vandemar | will ubuntu by default handle a usb connection to a cable modem as just another network interface? | 05:41 |
| bobweaver | vandemar, there is one way to find out | 05:43 |
| bobweaver | vandemar, try and let us know what happens | 05:43 |
| erbun | yea thats an interesting question | 05:44 |
| bobweaver | I dont think that it would work cuz there is no nic card | 05:44 |
| bobweaver | network interface card | 05:45 |
| pikkles | wearethewalrus | 05:45 |
| erbun | yes but USBs can be used as NICs, Usually its a pain to set up tho. Interesting to see if Ubuntu would recognize what you are trying to do and do it without all the usual hassle | 05:46 |
| bobweaver | erbun, you would have to change the file system | 05:47 |
| bobweaver | ? | 05:47 |
| vandemar | bobweaver: I would if I had a cable modem w/usb port nearby :( | 05:47 |
| TaZeR | ubuntu rocks my world | 05:48 |
| pcypher | has anyone had luck getting 5.1 audio with the realteck drivers in 10.10? | 05:48 |
| pcypher | sorry realtek* | 05:48 |
| pksadiq | !sorround | 05:48 |
| erbun | bobweaver, in the past I've only had to set up a loopback from the USB connection to the existing NIC. I personally don't think it will work, but hell, I'm far from an expert on the matter | 05:49 |
| pksadiq | !surround | 05:49 |
| ubottu | If you're having trouble getting surround sound working in Ubuntu, try the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound | 05:49 |
| pcypher | pksadiq: thanks... I will take a look! | 05:49 |
| update | hello | 05:49 |
| BluesKaj | pcypher, it's not so much the drivers as your alsamixer settings in the spdif ctrl | 05:49 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Looks like I'm going to be contacting support, Windows 7 isn't registering it either (on another computer). | 05:50 |
| bobweaver | any one know anything about mics here ? | 05:50 |
| bobweaver | interneal | 05:50 |
| pcypher | BluesKaj: I tried alsamixer, but it would not load. | 05:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | parolang, i imagine it's the BIOS limitation you are hitting. Best of luck! | 05:50 |
| pcypher | Im ssh'd to my box ill grab the error... <--at work | 05:50 |
| bobweaver | sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer | 05:50 |
| update | whats the difference between ubuntu and windows 7 | 05:51 |
| update | ? | 05:51 |
| BluesKaj | pcypher, then install alsa-base and alsa-utils | 05:51 |
| kata | i installed ubuntu in windows on c partition but i am not able to acess files inside my c partion any suggestions | 05:51 |
| pcypher | well crap... now its working somehow | 05:51 |
| parolang | ZykoticK9: Thanks. | 05:51 |
| parolang | kata: Uh oh. | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | kata, using Wubi you mean -- try /host or host in one of the menus (i think it's host, could be wrong) | 05:52 |
| pcypher | BluesKaj: I did... that was the 3rd thing I tried. 1. compile and installl drivers from realtek... - lost stereo sound. | 05:52 |
| gulzar | I want to install Libre-office from Ubuntu to Xubuntu. How to do so? In synaptic CD is added and in repositories it is checked... | 05:52 |
| pcypher | then edit config to add hda intel | 05:52 |
| pcypher | no dice | 05:52 |
| pcypher | then removed pulse audio as suggested... | 05:52 |
| pcypher | no dive | 05:53 |
| pcypher | dice* | 05:53 |
| pcypher | ill give this a shot now | 05:53 |
| BluesKaj | pcypher, no , alsa-base and utils are the default drivers for most soundcards | 05:53 |
| pcypher | that was the last step I tried before coming to work | 05:53 |
| gulzar | I want to install Libre-office from Ubuntu to Xubuntu. How to do so? In synaptic CD is added and in repositories it is checked... | 05:54 |
| IdleOne | gulzar: open Software Center, search for libreoffice and click install | 05:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | gulzar, FYI you can't use a LiveCD as a repository | 05:54 |
| BluesKaj | !realtek | pcypher | 05:54 |
| ubottu | pcypher: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 05:54 |
| pcypher | BlueKaj: tried this | 05:54 |
| pcypher | http://duopetalflower.blogspot.com/2011/02/alsa-1024-in-ubuntu-1010.html | 05:54 |
| jiltdil | opening any video with vlc shows the video greenish How to get rid of this | 05:55 |
| gulzar | ZykoticK9:OK | 05:55 |
| bobweaver | how do I find my internal mic not under lspci or lsusb where is it? | 05:55 |
| pcypher | I have seen people say that back proting to lucid wll fix, but I will lose newest ati radeon drivers | 05:55 |
| bobweaver | where does the kernel see it lsmic? | 05:55 |
| pksadiq | jiltdil: what about mplayer or totem? | 05:55 |
| C1iFF | Hi guys, I'm having trouble updating Ubuntu 10.10 64 For starters, my GRUB gives 'error 9 no splash found' and wont update to let me choose new kernels... Can any1 help?? | 05:55 |
| bobweaver | No manual entry for lsmic | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | jiltdil, in VLC - Tools menu / Preferences / Video - Output dropdown - test if one of the other options works | 05:56 |
| pksadiq | jiltdil: if you have edited preferences reset to default | 05:57 |
| vandemar | bobweaver: individual sound jacks are not separate devices. there is usually only one device per set of outputs. One for analog, one for digital, possibly one for hdmi | 05:57 |
| bobweaver | C1iFF, have you tried fsck -y /dev/what ever hard driver | 05:57 |
| amit | pksadiq:sorry i was disconnet due to net problem ;( | 05:57 |
| bobweaver | how do I know that the mods listes ? | 05:57 |
| bobweaver | I see nothing under lsmod | 05:58 |
| bobweaver | for a mic | 05:58 |
| pksadiq | amit: What? sorry I didn't understand | 05:58 |
| parolang | Is the Athlon Neo considered 64-bit? | 05:58 |
| amit | pksadiq:sorry nothing,Any idea about this problem | 05:58 |
| pksadiq | bobweaver: in sound preferences select the working connector in Input | 05:59 |
| roellen | hello, what is available to detect intrusion? how to tell if someone is logging my keying online? | 05:59 |
| bobweaver | vandemar, my lsmodhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/632829/ | 05:59 |
| bobweaver | roellen, wireshark sees everythign | 05:59 |
| roellen | bobweaver: thks, will check it out. | 06:00 |
| C1iFF | bobweaver: no, so far I'm looking at its config files at /etc/default and noticed one was altered, but as I rewrote it back to normal, the error remained. Exactly which driver should I name in fsck? | 06:00 |
| arunkumar413 | hi i'm using problems with my ZTE k3570-z 3G usb mobile broadband connection. i have to unplug and plug the device several times to connect to internet. here is the contents of the sys log http://pastebin.com/kUvZrVsE | 06:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, rkhunter can scan your system for rootkits etc | 06:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, snort is an actual "intrusion detection system", i believe it is rather complicated however | 06:01 |
| bobweaver | pksadiq, http://img813.imageshack.us/i/screenshot14m.png/ | 06:01 |
| roellen | ZykoticK9: thks, what's your opinion of wireshark? | 06:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, wireshark is a network traffic scanner | 06:02 |
| roellen | ZykoticK9: it will help me detect intrusion? | 06:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, it's really good - but i'm not sure it's what you're looking for - you'd need to know quite a bit of networking to actually get much benefit from wireshark | 06:03 |
| pksadiq | bobweaver: in the pannel dont' you see the volum control applet? right click there, and select sound preferences> Input | 06:03 |
| BluesKaj | pcypher, my setup uses alsa and vlc as the player . For DD and DTS digital streams are more reliant on the player settings for the spdif .look for dev-0 in your audio settings in vlc to cxapture the digital otput to your DAC | 06:03 |
| bobweaver | pksadiq, of cource OI see it it does nothing | 06:03 |
| bobweaver | right click por left | 06:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, snort? ya i believe so, but i've only used it on a dedicated firewall box, never as a stand alone package. if you go down that road - good luck to you (would probably be a good project/learning experience) | 06:04 |
| C1iFF | bobweaver, I'm trying to find the original splash GRUB image (or the link to it in a config file) so I can alter it and see what the problem is. Any ideas on where/how to find it?? | 06:04 |
| roellen | ZykoticK9: the concern is how much it will slow down the system, or block genuine request. | 06:04 |
| BluesKaj | it's under tools/preferences/audio , choose alsa output , pcypher | 06:04 |
| bobweaver | cliff man fsck | 06:04 |
| bobweaver | C1iFF, man fsck | 06:05 |
| arunkumar413 | hi i'm having problems with my ZTE k3570-z 3G usb mobile broadband connection. i have to unplug and plug the device several times to connect to internet. here is the contents of the sys log http://pastebin.com/kUvZrVsE | 06:05 |
| pksadiq | bobweaver: did you check selecting different connectors at Input ? | 06:05 |
| bobweaver | pksadiq, internal mic | 06:05 |
| pcypher | Thanks BlueKaj: i am looking now | 06:05 |
| hamnegga | I'm having an issue with bz2 archives, and I can't untar them: I've been using tar -xvjf <filename> but I'm getting errors for every bz2 I try... Can anyone help? | 06:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, not really sure??? but it was running on a very low powered box in my case (was a Smoothwall install) | 06:05 |
| roellen | bobweaver, ZykoticK9 : is portsentry recommendable? | 06:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | roellen, ? never used it | 06:06 |

| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, also, neither of those are mount point - they're the device names | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, where is sdc1 mounted? if it's mounted. | 06:24 |
| anonboo | alphaex, Have you tried? | 06:24 |
| bobweaver | dr0pb3ar, have you tried chmod -x /where /ever the file is | 06:24 |
| BluesKaj | alphaex, mu wireless KB and mouse are MS and they work out of the box on Linux | 06:24 |
| BluesKaj | my | 06:24 |
| spy-door-man | anyone in here play minecraft? | 06:24 |
| paul_ | randyflagg | 06:24 |
| bobweaver | dr0pb3ar, make sure you are in that dir | 06:24 |
| === paul_ is now known as randyflagg | ||
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, be careful of what bobweaver is recommending. | 06:25 |
| AlephHaz | spy-door-man: you looking for server support? | 06:25 |
| randyflagg | any body have any idea why 11.04 locks up when I shutdown normally but if I halt from terminal it works fine? | 06:25 |
| BluesKaj | alphaex, mav is unix ., so chances are they will work | 06:25 |
| arooni-mobile | is there a reason when i set workrave window to always be on top on all workspaces that when i move workspaces; after awhile; that window is not on top anymore? | 06:25 |
| spy-door-man | yeah kinda, just wondering what the easiest way to have it autostart would be | 06:25 |
| dr0pb3ar | what do I type to find the mount point | 06:25 |
| dr0pb3ar | ? | 06:25 |
| bobweaver | ZykoticK9, why | 06:25 |
| AlephHaz | spy-door-man: i'll PM you | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, "mount" | 06:25 |
| spy-door-man | thanks | 06:25 |
| BluesKaj | err mac | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | bobweaver, 'cause -x is NOT what they need! | 06:26 |
| bobweaver | then what is the # | 06:26 |
| dr0pb3ar | I also wrote in sudo -i before when someone said to do it... can I undo that? | 06:26 |
| bobweaver | dr0pb3ar, exit | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, yes type "exit" | 06:26 |
| randyflagg | bueller??? | 06:27 |
| dr0pb3ar | okay... then I write in mount? | 06:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, get used to using "sudo" properly it's how Ubuntu has been designed to work (that's instead of "sudo -i") - don't worry i'll tell you when we need it | 06:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, in a terminal type "mount" yes | 06:28 |

| dr0pb3ar | done | 06:28 |
| alphaex | BluesKaj: so you think mac KB canbe use in linux right ? | 06:28 |
| C_Smith | can anyone help me with these gitcompile errors I'm getting? | 06:28 |
| C_Smith | I can pastebin them | 06:29 |
| dr0pb3ar | what am I looking for in this output? | 06:29 |
| pksadiq | C_Smith: paste and ask, somebody might help | 06:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, look for the sdc1 and it shoulds say where it's mounted | 06:29 |
| bobweaver | pksadiq, still nothing with the mic | 06:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, "mount | grep sdc" would give JUST the one line we need (probably) | 06:30 |
| C_Smith | k, I'm getting these errors found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632841/ when doing gitcompile on a clone of the ALSA Plugins git, can someone help? | 06:30 |
| MadHaTTer666 | where the hell am i now? | 06:31 |
| dr0pb3ar | ok, I have that now. so where it says dev/sdc1 on "/media/......" that is the mount point? | 06:31 |
| pikkles | anyone knw where to go for help with tor? | 06:31 |
| dr0pb3ar | what do I do from there? | 06:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, could you do me a favour - when you replay to me could you include my NICK, type "Z" "y" "TAB" to autocomplete it (this way it gets highlighted red for me to see easily) | 06:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, ok /media/WHAT? | 06:32 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, like this | 06:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, perfect ;) | 06:33 |

| C_Smith | hmmmm, k | 06:33 |
| JoshDreamland1 | My monitor doesn't like my input. How can I set the resolution from TTY? | 06:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, "ls -l /media/6698dedd-8871-42a4-96ac-60d65c78fcc5" then paste the output (should only be one line i hope) | 06:33 |
| JoshDreamland1 | I can't see a thing from X. | 06:34 |
| JoshDreamland1 | It's putting out video, but the monitor rejects it. So I can't navigate to change the resolution. | 06:34 |

| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, "sudo chmod go+w /media/6698dedd-8871-42a4-96ac-60d65c78fcc5" should fix it ;) | 06:36 |

| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, yes that has worked. thanks heaps for your help. what does chmod go+w mean? | 06:38 |
| C_Smith | so how would I go about installing those? I tried sudo apt-get and getlibs, and they didn't work, couldn't find them | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, chmod - changes permission. the g and o are Group and Other, the + means add, and w = write | 06:39 |
| pksadiq | C_Smith: apt-get install autoconf automake ect | 06:39 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, cool. thanks again! | 06:39 |

| Dejavou42 | Does anyone know a way to manually connect wireless via terminal without using wpa_supplicant? | 06:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dejavou42, it is possible use /etc/network/interfaces - but DON'T ask me how | 06:42 |
| Dejavou42 | ZykoticK9: How? :) | 06:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dejavou42, also might depend on what encryption you're using. | 06:43 |
| Dejavou42 | ZykoticK9: wpa, and therein lies the problem | 06:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dejavou42, ya doubt it's possible then. But see some info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12045 | 06:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dejavou42, i have the suspicion it would only work with open/WEP only. Good luck. | 06:45 |
| Starminn | Banshee will not open. I have tried reinstalling, and even purged it yet the error persists. The error Banshee gives is: http://pastie.org/2122608 while an attempt to run from terminal was: http://pastie.org/2122611 Any assistance is appreciated. :) (Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit) | 06:45 |
| Dejavou42 | ZykoticK9, thanks I just may be changing my network encryption. :) | 06:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, (sorry but every time you post your issue I keep thinking) "that's what you get for using a mono based app" --- sorry, I realize my comment IS NOT HELPFUL. I just really hate mono. | 06:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, best of luck, i hope you get a solution. | 06:47 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: Fair enough, lol. Just curious -- what's wrong with Mono? (I don't know anything about it really so I can't get offended, haha. I know how some people get with their favorite language(s)) | 06:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, mono is .NET from Microsoft | 06:47 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: Aha, that' right. How is it mono-based? Written in part with it? | 06:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | Starminn, ya, banshee uses mono | 06:48 |
| strangr | how small can i make ubuntu? | 06:48 |
| Starminn | ZykoticK9: Well why the heck would they do that? That seems incredibly stupid, especially seeing as it's open-source, used for Linux, etc.. | 06:49 |
| strangr | i would like to use it in an embedded system | 06:49 |
| Starminn | strangr: From the start I think the smallest you could go is either Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Minimal | 06:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | strangr, use 'mini' install and it's pretty tiny around 2GB i'd imagine - but that's with NOTHING installed. | 06:49 |
| strangr | i am ready to drop the gui | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: A minimal install is a *lot* less than 2 GiB. | 06:50 |
| Yusuke | lol | 06:50 |
| strangr | now how small do i get | 06:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | strangr, see Jordan_U's comment. It was a wild guess on my part. | 06:50 |
| strangr | Jordan_U, how small can i get with just the kernel and a terminal | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | strangr: You can get below 100 MiB. The question is what you actually want to be able to do. | 06:51 |
| Starminn | strangr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:51 |
| strangr | control a device attached to a serial port | 06:51 |
| fweezel | I can't figure out how to get this to run the resolution the monitor's capable of, it refuses to go higher than 1024x768 and whenever I tried messing with xorg.conf it made things worse | 06:51 |
| magn3ts | Can someone remind me again how Ubuntu 11.04 shipped with Empathy unable to remember new passwords properly? | 06:52 |
| magn3ts | Does that not stagger anyone else? | 06:52 |
| pksadiq | fweezel: using nvidia? | 06:52 |
| strangr | Starminn, thanks for the link | 06:53 |
| fweezel | yeah | 06:53 |
| pksadiq | fweezel: install nvidia-settings | 06:53 |
| fweezel | I think I might have done that, would it show up as an option in system settings? | 06:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | magn3ts, do you happen to be talking about IRC passwords? | 06:53 |
| Starminn | strangr: Yep. :) | 06:53 |
| magn3ts | ZykoticK9, any passwords in Empathy, if you change them... the changed pw fails to persist in empathy | 06:53 |
| magn3ts | this happens for my jabber accounts | 06:54 |
| pksadiq | fweezel: yeah, system>administration | 06:54 |
| strangr | if i can get to 100 mb its great | 06:54 |
| strangr | thanks all | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | strangr: If that's all that you need then it can be easily done in less than 50 MiB, that would require a lot of customization and it's questionable at that point if it even matters that you're using "Ubuntu" as it could be done with nothing but a kernel and (modified) initramfs. | 06:54 |
| fweezel | I have "NVIDIA X Server Settings" open right now | 06:54 |
| strangr | Jordan_U, yeah all i need is bash up and running | 06:55 |
| PythonSnake | strangr: You can give Puppy linux a try | 06:55 |
| strangr | PythonSnake, will look at that | 06:55 |
| PythonSnake | strangr: http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm | 06:55 |
| strangr | PythonSnake, thanks | 06:56 |
| fweezel | this monitor can do 1440x900, but I can't figure out how to get it to display in that resolution | 06:56 |
| milamber | strangr: is it going to be an embedded project? | 06:56 |
| PythonSnake | strangr: np | 06:57 |
| strangr | milamber, yeah | 06:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jordan_U, strangr just looked at a virgin Debian Netinstall and it weighs in at 739MB - so I'd guess Ubuntu Mini would be at least that large. | 06:57 |
| milamber | strangr: ubuntu *probably* isn't the ideal solution (as has been mentioned), you may want to look at rtems (www.rtems.com) | 06:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | Jordan_U, but you're right that is "a *lot* less" then my 2GB guess | 06:57 |
| pksadiq | fweezel: select X server display configuration | 06:57 |
| CountDeMonet | What's the best way to incorporate volume control on Natty if I'm using OSS4 instead of ALSA? | 06:58 |
| fweezel | pksadiq: the highest it'll let me choose is 1360x768 | 06:58 |
| strangr | Zykoyic9, yeah lol | 06:58 |
| strangr | ZykoticK9, yeah lol | 06:59 |
| pksadiq | fweezel: sorry, I don't know more, have you installed the nvidia-current driver itself? | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: A netinstall allows you to install as much or as little as you want. And strangr barely even needs an "install" at all (may not even need a root filesystem from the sound of it). | 06:59 |
| fweezel | I think I did, but I don't know if it worked | 06:59 |
| strangr | Jordan_U, whats a netinstall | 07:00 |
| C_Smith | ok, I've installed that stuff, now I'm getting a couple of error 1's and an error 2.... here's the full output in a Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632853/ | 07:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | strangr, netinstall is Debian's term for what Ubuntu calls Mini - they are almost IDENTICAL actually | 07:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | strangr, playing with mini is what led me to Debian | 07:01 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, I have another question for you. I have another drive (same size) that I am having some problems with. On gparted it won't let me unmount it to make any changes. I think it may be because of the same thing as before | 07:01 |
| strangr | ZykoticK9, ok got that | 07:01 |
| fweezel | I'm gonna guess that my problem has part to do with the fact that the monitor isn't telling the computer anything about what kind of monitor it is at all | 07:01 |
| milamber | strangr: damn small linux is a 50mb full desktop install | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, can we take gparted out of the situation? can we umount it from command line instead? | 07:02 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, it mount point it /media/my passport | 07:02 |
| strangr | <milamber> cant get a downloadable version for dsl | 07:02 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, of course. I just don't know how... with fdisk? | 07:02 |
| C_Smith | the reason I need to install this ALSA git is for Starcraft 2 to have sound. | 07:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, not fdisk no! (careful with that command BTW!) | 07:03 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, I think something must have happened that made all my permissions go screwy | 07:03 |
| C_Smith | is there a repository for ALSA from git? | 07:03 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, OK | 07:03 |
| Starminn | strangr: Found this. Might be helpful, might not: http://bengross.com/smallunix/ | 07:03 |
| Starminn | strangr: Note that some of those are FreeBSD, though | 07:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, "sudo umount /media/My\ Passport" perhaps? could you give me the full path name? spaces are kinda tricky in GNU/Linux | 07:03 |
| milamber | strangr: what do you mean? | 07:04 |
| rileyp | I bhave stuffed up v4l can anyone help | 07:04 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, yeah okay... I think that is the full path name... I will try that | 07:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, you need to close ANY programs/terminals that where using that before we can umount it BTW - will complain about "busy" | 07:04 |
| rileyp | make fails | 07:04 |
| strangr | milamber, those links are dead | 07:04 |
| strangr | i m not able to get damn small linux | 07:04 |
| rileyp | strangr why not | 07:05 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, ok... hang on a sec | 07:05 |
| rileyp | strangr, I have it on a usb stick and it works | 07:05 |
| milamber | strangr: torrent not an option? | 07:06 |
| rileyp | even with wireless :D | 07:06 |
| strangr | milamber: dunno if ill get seeds | 07:06 |
| rileyp | puppy is another alternative | 07:06 |
| rileyp | strangr, perhaps | 07:06 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, sorry. dropped out for a sec there. what do you want me to do? | 07:06 |
| milamber | strangr: i am sure you will. it's pretty common. and it shouldn't be too bad as it's only 50mb | 07:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, try the "sudo umount /media/My\ Passport" | 07:07 |
| strangr | milamber, givin that a try too :) | 07:07 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, has told me it's busy (like you said) | 07:08 |
| rileyp | drop bear why not just make a dir add the mount to fstab and reboot | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, did you close gparted and anything else that would be using it? | 07:08 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, yep... all done | 07:08 |
| C_Smith | so, can anyone help me with these error 1 and error 2s? | 07:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, in your terminal - type "cd" "ENTER" to switch to your home directory as well | 07:08 |
| dr0pb3ar | rileyp, thanks but ZykoticK9 is helping me out with it at the moment | 07:08 |
| dr0pb3ar | done | 07:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, try the umount again | 07:09 |
| C_Smith | I have a pastebin of the terminal messages here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632853/ | 07:09 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, ok | 07:09 |
| PythonSnake | I need gma hd drivers for linux anyone know how to get them please? | 07:09 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, xorg edgers PPA? | 07:09 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, sudo umount /media/My\ Passport returned that it was busy | 07:09 |
| PythonSnake | ? | 07:09 |
| PythonSnake | xorg edgers PPA ? | 07:10 |
| C_Smith | you're talking about an Intel GMA GPU, right? | 07:10 |
| PythonSnake | yeah | 07:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, easiest thing would be to log out/back in again - but something is still using the drive | 07:10 |
| pksadiq | .whois | 07:11 |
| pksadiq | sorry | 07:11 |
| C_Smith | Pythonsnakke, let me get the PPA page for ya, sec | 07:11 |
| strangr | milamber: got some peers on dsl-4.4.10 thanks i almost forgot abt torrent | 07:11 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, should I reboot? I can't think of anything that would be using it | 07:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, reboot would work | 07:12 |
| C_Smith | Pythonsnake, here is the repo for a lot of things related to xorg (the Graphics server): https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 07:12 |
| milamber | strangr: beauty of the interwebs :) | 07:12 |
| C_Smith | it also includes some GMA drivers. | 07:12 |
| strangr | milamber :) | 07:12 |
| dr0pb3ar | ZykoticK9, I just tried to transfer a small file to my passport and it worked okay... it's just unmounting that isn't working... I will reboot now... wait out | 07:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, k | 07:13 |
| PythonSnake | C_Smith: thanks | 07:13 |
| PythonSnake | Are drivers packages ? | 07:13 |
| Guest79988 | is anyone there? | 07:14 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, there a very recent Intel driver in there, let me get the name of it. | 07:14 |
| wols | PythonSnake: ubuntu already comes with GMA HD drivers for X | 07:15 |
| Guest79988 | For some reason, I can't change directories using the cd command...any thoughts? | 07:15 |
| wols | Guest79988: pastebin the command you try and its full output | 07:15 |
| Guest79988 | ok..one moment | 07:16 |
| dr0pb3ar_ | ZykoticK9, I have rebooted and unmounted successfully | 07:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest79988, cApItAlS are important and spaces/ are/ a/ pain. | 07:16 |
| PythonSnake | wols: ok thx | 07:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar, nice ;) | 07:17 |
| Guest79988 | When I issue the following:cd /Documents | 07:17 |
| Guest79988 | bash: cd: /Documents: No such file or directory | 07:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest79988, "cd ~/Documents" | 07:17 |
| soreau | Guest79988: Try cd ~/Downloads | 07:17 |
| Guest79988 | ok | 07:17 |
| soreau | Guest79988: The tilde (~) means your home directory | 07:18 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, I couldn't find it, but I know it's in there because I'm using it (I have an Intel GMA 4500 MHD myself) so if you add the ppa to your sources, you'll get it. | 07:18 |
| Guest79988 | so, you HAVE to use the tilda to change directories??? | 07:18 |
| dr0pb3ar_ | ZykoticK9, I am trying to reformat these drives to use as random storage drives for video's music and that sort of stuff... what is the best file system to use for this purpose? | 07:18 |
| PythonSnake | C_Smith: What is PPA ? | 07:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest83801, if you where in you home directory "cd Documents" would work. the / at the beginning means "root" and that folder /Documents doesn't exist (by default) | 07:18 |
| Guest79988 | i am in my home | 07:19 |
| PythonSnake | C_Smith: And it's GMA HD not GMA 4500 MHD | 07:19 |
| wols | Guest79988: no you don't. but you can't use just put "/" at the beginning since that means "go from / directory" | 07:19 |
| Guest79988 | that's the problem | 07:19 |
| soreau | Guest79988: No, it's just a shortcut instead of typing $HOME/Documents or /home/$USER/Documents | 07:19 |
| wols | Guest79988: if you are in your home directory, simply "cd Documents" works | 07:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar_, i'd say ext4 - others may disagree ;) | 07:19 |
| soreau | Guest79988: If you are in home, then you only need to do cd Documents | 07:19 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, PPA is a form of a repository, and I was just saying my GPU. | 07:19 |
| wols | dr0pb3ar_: depends if only ubuntu will access it or other OSes too | 07:19 |
| soreau | Guest79988: The / means your root directory | 07:19 |
| dr0pb3ar_ | ZykoticK9, prob just ubuntu | 07:19 |
| Guest79988 | so, if i am in home dir, ?<dir> should work, right? it's not | 07:20 |
| Guest79988 | i meant ?dir | 07:20 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: PPA = Personal Package Archive | 07:20 |
| wols | Guest79988: it does work. "cd dir" | 07:20 |
| Guest79988 | i mean? | 07:20 |
| jrib | Guest79988: what do you mean by "work"? What are you trynig to do? | 07:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar_, OH ya if you want to use the drive with MS or Apple - use FAT or NTFS | 07:20 |
| Guest79988 | ok | 07:20 |
| wols | jrib: trying to use cd /dir to change directories inside his ~ | 07:20 |
| PythonSnake | C_SMith: How to add PPA to my sources ? | 07:20 |
| milamber | Guest79988: the command 'ls' will give you a list of files and directories. you can cd into any directory beneath you or go up one directory by using cd .. | 07:20 |
| wols | Guest79988: your mistake was the "/" you put in front | 07:20 |
| C_Smith | to anyone who can help me, I need help with some error 1 and error 2 coming from gitcompile, I have the contents of what goes on in the terminal here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632853/ | 07:21 |
| dr0pb3ar_ | ZykoticK9, if its just for ubuntu is ext4 good to go? what's xfs used for? | 07:21 |
| CountDeMonet | How can I add a volume slider to Unity that controls OSS4 volume? | 07:21 |
| Guest79988 | i am in home dir... i type cd /Documents...then i get: bash: cd: /Documents: No such file or directory | 07:21 |
| Guest79988 | same for all dirs in home | 07:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar_, ext4 (or ext3) has the most support in GNU/Linux right now | 07:21 |
| westz | okay i'm sick of not being able to use torbutton, can i have two instances of firefox installed on ubuntu? | 07:21 |
| jrib | Guest79988: / is like c:/ in windows... you don't want / | 07:21 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 07:22 |
| soreau | Guest79988: Right, that's because /Documents does not exist. See the contents of / with 'ls /' | 07:22 |
| dr0pb3ar_ | ZykoticK9, righto, thanks again for all your help... much appreciated | 07:22 |
| wols | westz: you can, but you can also fix your tor button | 07:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | dr0pb3ar_, glad to help | 07:22 |
| proq | I'm trying to ssh to my ubuntu servers. the first two or three attempts work ok but then the server seems to just ignore any new ssh requests for the next 24 hours and rebooting the server does not help. how do I make it keep working? | 07:22 |
| westz | wols, well firefox 5 broke a few more addons i had | 07:22 |
| Guest79988 | yes, i did ls, but I cant' change to any of them using cd /<dir> | 07:22 |
| wols | proq: fail2ban or similar installed? | 07:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest79988, if you MUST you could use "cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/Docuements" | 07:23 |
| wols | Guest79988: cause "/" is WRONG | 07:23 |
| Guest79988 | ok, do i do the same without the slash? | 07:23 |
| soreau | Guest79988: ls by itself will show you the contents of the current working directory. From there, you do 'cd ./Directory' or just 'cd Directory' | 07:23 |
| wols | Guest79988: if you are in your documents and settings under windows "cd \downloads" doesn't work either, does it? | 07:24 |
| Guest79988 | okay..i see now | 07:24 |
| Guest79988 | thank you for helping a noob | 07:24 |
| PythonSnake | C_Smith: thanks | 07:24 |
| C_Smith | PythonSnake, no prob | 07:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | wols, i'm holding you to the quote "cause "/" is WRONG" forever ;) | 07:24 |
| Guest79988 | is this the correct chat channel for noobs, btw? | 07:25 |
| westz | wols, what query do i use to find some doc on using two instances, or maybe a link? | 07:25 |
| soreau | Guest79988: Yes for help with ubuntu | 07:25 |
| soreau | Guest79988: You can also try #ubuntu-beginners | 07:26 |
| Guest79988 | well, you solved my prob, thx!!! (Only 1000 more to go...) | 07:26 |
| wols | westz: you install one as a package the other not as one. and make sure you use different profiles for each | 07:26 |
| soreau | ! who | Guest79988 | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Guest79988: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 07:26 |
| Guest79988 | ok | 07:26 |
| Becksta | hi | 07:26 |
| Becksta | somebody awake and ready to give help? | 07:27 |
| proq | wols: no | 07:27 |
| PythonSnake | yes | 07:27 |
| soreau | ! tab | Guest79988 | 07:27 |
| ubottu | Guest79988: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 07:27 |
| PythonSnake | hi | 07:27 |
| soreau | ! help | Becksta | 07:27 |
| ubottu | Becksta: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:27 |
| Becksta | ok | 07:27 |
| wols | proq: check your logs why it doesn't let you log in | 07:27 |
| ChaosSaber | PythonSnake, hi | 07:28 |
| Becksta | i have 2 hdd in raid mirrot mode, which i need to put into another homeserver. do i have to "stop" the raid before? or canb i just easily put them in the new server, as they are? | 07:28 |
| PythonSnake | ChaosSaber: Hi | 07:28 |
| soreau | Becksta: Probably a good idea to backup the data then do what you need to do | 07:29 |
| vandemar | Becksta: just make sure you shut the system down normally and the mirror will be intact. However if you aren't careful, a screw up while setting up an existing mirror pair inside a new machine can trash the mirror | 07:29 |
| westz | wols, what would i search to find how to do this? "dual firefox ubuntu" gives me stuff about syncing a profile between a dual booting computer | 07:30 |
| Becksta | thats for sure and the reason for asking :) | 07:30 |
| Becksta | well then.... i will try.... thanks for feedback | 07:32 |
| wols | westz: I don't know what to search for. I told you how to do it, even when it's a bad thing to do, but you insist. if the extensions just don't want to run due to versioning numbers, change these instead or tell firefox to ignore the numbers and try to run it anyways | 07:32 |
| milamber | westz: you should probably try googling for "instances" ~ a quick google for me gave this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400280 | 07:32 |
| OY1R | how do i make a user the owner of all subdirectories in a directory | 07:33 |
| wols | OY1R: with chown -R see man chown | 07:34 |
| soreau | OY1R: As your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/directory | 07:34 |
| Starminn | Is there a way to highlight text using the keyboard? | 07:34 |
| soreau | Starminn: Yes hold down shift | 07:34 |
| OY1R | soreau, will that give ownership to all subdirs also ? | 07:35 |
| Starminn | soreau: Thank you oh so very much! I had been trying CTRL. :) | 07:35 |
| soreau | OY1R: The -R stands for recursive | 07:35 |
| soreau | OY1R: It will recursively change ownership of all files and directories | 07:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, i'm almost afraid to ask at this point, but what directory are you recursively changing the owner on? | 07:38 |
| OY1R | photorec recup dir's | 07:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, ok cool | 07:38 |
| OY1R | they belong to root | 07:38 |
| OY1R | i want to mess with them without "sudo nautilus" | 07:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, FYI you should use "sudo" with GUI apps, use "gksu" instead | 07:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | s/should/shouldn't/ | 07:39 |
| OY1R | ok?, what's the difference ? | 07:40 |
| rednose | Hi, all | 07:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | !gksudo | OY1R | 07:40 |
| ubottu | OY1R: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 07:40 |
| OY1R | thanks! | 07:41 |
| Starminn | soreau: How about to move that text around? I highlight it with Shift+ArrowKeys, but how can I move it with keyboard (if this is possible)? | 07:41 |
| OY1R | sound's like using sudo with gui's can mess up stuff real bad. | 07:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, it can | 07:42 |
| OY1R | i had no idea | 07:42 |
| rednose | Just installed 11.04 on fresh PC and it will not start. After GRUB prompt, all I get is blank screen | 07:42 |
| rednose | Video is ATI 8650 | 07:42 |
| westz | wols, torbutton wont work with firefox 4+, its already known, though theres a beta version, it isnt stable. i only use tor to get around annoying filters at coffeeshops, so it's not like im in danger by using two installs | 07:42 |
| rednose | Is there any command options I should send to kernel? | 07:43 |
| vandemar | isn't the tor project releasing their own modified firefox versions or did they give up on that idea | 07:43 |
| OY1R | sudo chown -R $Reggy /media/Storage/ehdd | 07:43 |
| OY1R | chown: missing operand after `/media/Storage/ehdd | 07:43 |
| Cydd | guys | 07:43 |
| Cydd | google the word gay | 07:43 |
| Cydd | and look to the right :O | 07:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, is reggy your user's name? | 07:43 |
| OY1R | yes | 07:43 |
| Starminn | Cydd: Not appropriate for this channel. | 07:44 |
| westz | vandemar, they had a version prebundled with vidalia and such but it wasnt anything really special | 07:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | OY1R, "sudo chown -R reggy:reggy /media/Storeage/ehdd" then | 07:44 |
| souji | hi I just installed ubuntu but I am not able to play dvd | 07:44 |

| Starminn | Cydd (But that is pretty neat) | 07:44 |
| souji | I am new user in linux | 07:44 |
| Random832 | Cydd: google has done a "rainbow-ish" thing for a while on searches for LGBT topics, it just used to be easier to miss | 07:44 |

| Cydd | i bet english is not his first langauge | 07:48 |
| Cydd | so yeah take it easy on him | 07:48 |
| westz | well he spelled it right the first time | 07:49 |

| appi_uppi | Hi, I'm running windows 2003 (on virtual box) in Ubuntu. I have forgotten the credential of it, I have done project and is stored in there. Is there a way to crack the password and get the data. | 07:49 |
| appi_uppi | ?? | 07:49 |
| Starminn | How can I move text around with the keyboard? I highlight it with Shift+ArrowKeys, but how can I collectively move it with keyboard (if this is possible)? | 07:49 |
| tender | OK | 07:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | IAmError, just add the user to the admin group, done. | 07:49 |
| IAmError | zykotick9: How do I do that? | 07:49 |
| wols | appi_uppi: google "ntpasswd" you can reset the password with a linux live cd ISO with that | 07:49 |
| Starminn | appi_uppi: You are asking how to bypass something in Windows? Try ##windows | 07:49 |
| milamber | Starminn: ctrl + x to cut and ctrl + v to paste | 07:50 |
| thrillERboy | Hi, How do I setup conky on startup with custom config | 07:50 |
| milamber | milamber: for most programs, what program are you using, what exactly are you trying to do? | 07:50 |
| Starminn | milamber: Yes, but I was just wondering if you can literally drag it | 07:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | IAmError, i think "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" would work... | 07:50 |
| appi_uppi | Starminn, wols thank you | 07:50 |
| milamber | Starminn: drag it with what? | 07:50 |
| Starminn | thrillERboy: Just modify whaever Conky script you want to modify and add that startup path to Startup Applications | 07:51 |
| pksadiq | Starminn: or I think alt+arrow keys | 07:51 |
| IAmError | zykotick9: says: zolgar is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.n | 07:51 |
| Starminn | milamber: You know how you can highlight with the mouse, then click the area and drag-and-drop? (Nope, pksadiq no luck) | 07:51 |
| tender | I have VMware Workstation with WinXp guest Operating system and Another PC " Computer ", i Wont To Connect this Tow PCs Together Using Cross Cable Network !!!!! Any Idea | 07:51 |
| pksadiq | Starminn: it only moves lines up an down | 07:52 |
| Abhijit | hi | 07:52 |
| milamber | Starminn: ctrl + shift + alt + numlock will allow you to use the numpad as a mouse | 07:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | IAmError, you need an account that is already in the admin group (ie that can use sudo) before you can do anything | 07:52 |
| pksadiq | Abhijit: hi :) | 07:52 |
| Abhijit | anyone got a working ppa for postler? or anyother way to get postler in ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| Abhijit | pksadiq, good morning | 07:52 |
| Starminn | pksadiq: It scrolls, rather | 07:52 |
| pksadiq | Starminn: if you need advanced options use vim or emacs :) | 07:52 |
| Starminn | milamber: Hehe, I'm aware of that, but to navigate the mouse with the NumPad, then simulate a click, hold, renavigate, release... meh | 07:52 |
| Starminn | pksadiq: No, I'll pass on those, hehe. I'm prefectly happy with Geany. | 07:53 |
| PythonSnake | what is xorg? | 07:54 |
| PythonSnake | do I need to install it | 07:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | !xorg | PythonSnake are you sure it isn't already installed? | 07:54 |
| ubottu | PythonSnake are you sure it isn't already installed?: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

| PythonSnake | thx | 07:54 |
| PythonSnake | what is pacman program ? | 07:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | PythonSnake, just to be clear - if you're looking at a GUI, and not a all black/white text console - then you have Xorg installed | 07:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | PythonSnake, pacman is a package utility from another distro | 07:56 |

| yugiohfan2011 | I decided to install the Java(TM) Plugin, Java SE 6 (package name sun-java6-plugin), and later found on the Java website that it was version 1.6.0_24. It was suggested I upgrade to version 1.6.0_26, which I tried to do without success. This leads me to believe there's a version of sun-java6-plugin version 1.6.0_26 floating around in a Ubuntu repository somewhere. The question is, how do I get at it to download and install it? | 08:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | !java > yugiohfan2011 not sure this will help... | 08:03 |
| ubottu | yugiohfan2011, please see my private message | 08:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | yugiohfan2011, don't expect Ubuntu packages to be the !latest however | 08:04 |
| === quentin is now known as Guest86650 | ||
| Guest86650 | has any one been having problems with firefox | 08:05 |
| yugiohfan2011 | I believe I understand what's going on here. Apparently Oracle has ceased supplying latest versions to Ubuntu. | 08:05 |
| Abhijit | !details | Guest86650 | 08:05 |
| ubottu | Guest86650: 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 ..." | 08:05 |
| westz | how can i switch to a standard scrollbar in 11.04? changing the theme doesnt seem to change anything | 08:07 |
| Guest86650 | on ubuntu 10.04. firefox dropdown menus aren't working. I mean all of them. right context, search, task bar. | 08:07 |
| PythonSnake | Should I activate the UXA module | 08:11 |
| PythonSnake | ? | 08:11 |
| PythonSnake | is it safe ? | 08:11 |
| ghost | hello | 08:15 |
| === ghost is now known as Guest2574 | ||
| Abhijit | hi | 08:16 |
| Guest2574 | umm i updated my laptop | 08:16 |
| Guest86650 | any one else have the drop down problem in firefox | 08:16 |
| Guest2574 | with all the current updates and when i try to install the missing pluging for youtube it say there are no pluging | 08:17 |
| Guest2574 | so i cant watch videos | 08:17 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: What version Firefox? | 08:17 |
| MrDudle | Guest2574: which plug? | 08:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest86650, if you have another user on your system, does their firefox do the same thing? you could try moving the .mozilla folder to a backup name and see if default settings corrects the issue. Have you upgraded to a newer version of Firefox? | 08:17 |
| MrDudle | normally just restricted extras does the the trick for me | 08:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Guest2574, ubuntu-restricted-extras will install Flash (and a bunch of other things as well) | 08:19 |
| Guest2574 | so how do i fix the problem | 08:19 |
| ChaosSaber | ZykoticK9, where do you find that at to install all that? | 08:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, sorry? to install you could use "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" Guest2574 | 08:20 |
| Guest2574 | ok | 08:20 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: it's 3.6 i think | 08:21 |
| Starminn | ChaosSaber: Software Center | 08:21 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: HAve you tried one of the newer versions? The current supported version is Firefox 5. | 08:22 |
| kdoonso | hi | 08:22 |
| kdoonso | on my network connection ipv6 is set to ignore is this ok | 08:23 |
| Guest2574 | i still have the problem | 08:23 |
| kdoonso | it was set like this to default on windows it used to be 'active' | 08:23 |
| Guest2574 | i can not get adobe | 08:23 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: I haven't tried a newer version | 08:24 |
| kdoonso | is ipv6 not used in ubunty | 08:24 |
| Guest2574 | i can not get adobe | 08:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | kdoonso, ipv6 is barely used on the internet right now... | 08:24 |
| kdoonso | can i enable it? | 08:24 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: If you do not wish to upgrade, try ZykoticK9's suggestion. Otherwise, just upgrade it (which would probably easier). | 08:25 |
| ThisIsMyNext | hey can somone help me troubleshoot my ssh server? it seems to work when i try to connect to it using my local ip adress but using my public ip seems to cause it to time out | 08:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | kdoonso, doubtful - but it depends on your ISP more then anything (almost no one supports ipv6 right now) | 08:25 |
| kdoonso | also one other thing. when i try to install any av software such as avast, avg or bitdefender for linux the sofware console tells me its bad software that may harm computer | 08:25 |
| kdoonso | is this usual for any software not already on the software console list | 08:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | !virus | kdoonso | 08:26 |
| ubottu | kdoonso: 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 | 08:26 |
| kdoonso | like a default message | 08:26 |
| kdoonso | ok will stick with rkhunter then | 08:26 |
| kdoonso | and unhide | 08:26 |
| kdoonso | or chkrootkit | 08:26 |
| Dasc | how do you installing oss? I followed the guide but seem to be missing stuff, don't have /dev/mixer | 08:26 |
| kdoonso | must recommend a good mag picked up from stanstead airport recently called simply linux | 08:27 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: I'm updating now. hopefully that will work. | 08:27 |
| kdoonso | its like a manual for beginners | 08:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dasc, wow is it 1995? OSS really, why? | 08:27 |
| kdoonso | very good | 08:27 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: Just bear in mind that there are a number of default aesthetic changes. You can still make it look like 3.6 pretty easily though. Menu Bar, Add-On Bar, and Tabs on Bottom should do it. | 08:28 |
| PythonSnake | hi | 08:28 |
| Dasc | ZykoticK9 - have a console only server and I want to setup the sound, don't we use OSS ? or is there another way to setup the sound? | 08:28 |
| PythonSnake | can anyone join #intel-gfx ? | 08:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dasc, OSS has for quite some time been superseded by ALSA | 08:29 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: ok | 08:29 |
| Dasc | ZykoticK9: I thought the website said OSS 4 is still alive and well, it says there to blacklist alsa | 08:30 |
| kdoonso | should i enable 802.1x security in connections tab it is not enable by defualt | 08:30 |
| alex88 | any one from mexico | 08:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | PythonSnake, yes there are 101 people in there. perhaps you need to register your nick? | 08:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | !register | PythonSnake | 08:31 |

| ChaosSaber | yeah cuz it let me in there | 08:31 |
| PythonSnake | ZykoticK9: I'm banned | 08:31 |
| PythonSnake | but never went to it | 08:31 |
| hamnegga | where is the sharkfest channel? | 08:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dasc, I really wouldn't know - I haven't used OSS in close to 10 years I'm sure. Best of luck. | 08:31 |
| PythonSnake | help | 08:31 |
| Dasc | ZykoticK9 - any link for setting up alsa on a console only ubuntu maverick? | 08:32 |
| kdoonso | it says md5 authentication and username password. what is 802.1x security is it needed | 08:32 |
| MadHaTTer666 | you know there are literally thousands of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing! | 08:33 |
| PythonSnake | can anyone tell me why am I banned from #intel-gfx | 08:33 |
| PythonSnake | ? | 08:33 |
| PythonSnake | I never went there | 08:33 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: seems to be working fine. though none of my addons are working. | 08:33 |
| kdoonso | it also offers tns tunnelled tns or protected epa | 08:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dasc, actually that's not ture - OpenSolaris used OSS, and that was only a couple years ago that I used that. Sorry, I've never really setup sound in an all console environment before - wouldn't know where to begin. Best of luck - but I do think the OSS option is probably the wrong path (but again, i could certainly me wrong) | 08:33 |
| Dasc | sigh~~ it's really best that I just setup X then sort out the sound isn't it? :X | 08:34 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: Firefox button->Add-ons, click the button next to the search and Check for Updates | 08:35 |
| kdoonso | in my experience of irc philosophy if your banned its simply bcause they dont like what your saying :) a bit ironic for philosophy but there you go... | 08:35 |
| MadHaTTer666 | agreed | 08:35 |
| alaing | hi how can i cd into folder with a name of "2001-01-01 - 2002-06-06" from the command line. when i type dir i see there are \ where there are spaces | 08:35 |

| Guest86650 | Starminn: says no updates are found | 08:36 |
| === PythonSnake is now known as pythonubuntu | ||

| ZykoticK9 | alaing, use double quotes around the name(s) ---- cd "2001-01-01 - example" | 08:37 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: You must be using some fairly obscure add-ons, then. :/ All 19 of mine work fine. Is it literally *all* of your add-ons that have stopped working? | 08:37 |
| Guest86650 | Starminn: actually I just can't find them. thought they were in .mozilla when I backed it up. | 08:38 |
| Abhijit | is there any small applet or something whree i can insert local time and it will tell me UTC time? | 08:38 |
| monx | nevermind lol a simple mv did it | 08:38 |
| Starminn | Guest86650: I have no Add-Ons in my ~/.mozilla/* folder either but mine work. I don't know where it places them in the file system. | 08:40 |
| Dasc | anyone know how to hide the os type information from scanners? | 08:40 |
| Dasc | e.g. Remote operating system : Linux Kernel 2.6 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) <------- hide this info | 08:40 |

| wols | hypercity: why do you need a xorg.conf? | 08:44 |
| sorush20 | wols: there are no errors, when I install the package it doesn't have the relevant file with it, can you look it up too.. dhcp-server | 08:45 |
| wols | sorush20: what is the output? | 08:45 |
| hypercity | wols: becouse i'm tring to revive a pc with a old radeon 9200 card , and the kms module is buggy for this configuration, i have to boot with nomodeset | 08:45 |

| MadHaTTer666 | so? | 08:46 |
| wols | sorush20: apt-cache show <package> see the "depends:" line | 08:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | alaing, <CAREFUL> "rm *" would remove all files, except subdirectories | 08:46 |
| sorush20 | wols: all the dependencies have been met and I don't need to type that in, as I can look at the dependencies in synaptic | 08:47 |
| hoss | Can someone please help me bridge my two nics? Wireless and ethernet. | 08:47 |
| alaing | ZykoticK9: oh very simpliar to dos delete *.*. | 08:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | alaing, exactly, but many gnu/linux files don't have extentions and *.* would NOT delete those | 08:48 |
| ChaosSaber | ZykoticK9, there was ban on the web chat client that PythonSnake was useing | 08:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChaosSaber, that would make sense i guess | 08:48 |
| alaing | ZykoticK9: could you recommend a good line resource for learning the command line | 08:48 |

| saburo | Hi. Someone have tried to connect his laptop to an hdmi television using Natty? | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | saburo, should work. | 09:11 |
| linuxuz3r | hey guys | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | hdmi tv - same as a hdmi monitor basically. | 09:11 |
| saburo | is not so. | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | saburo, worked identically for me whenever i try... | 09:12 |
| dr_willis | if you care to state your actual problem... | 09:12 |
| soreau | saburo: What happens when you try? | 09:12 |
| saburo | I have tried using previous kernel of linux endig with .35 and all go well but not with last release of kernel | 09:13 |
| soreau | saburo: What graphics card is it? | 09:13 |
| saburo | all screen is black | 09:13 |
| lins | ,list | 09:13 |
| saburo | Intel hd graphics | 09:13 |
| soreau | saburo: When you plug it in, does 'xrandr' show the device as connected? | 09:14 |
| dr_willis | its often handy to ssh into the box from a differnt pc. so you can check dmesg logs and use xrandr commands and restart X server remotely - if needed | 09:14 |
| saburo | it is not a connection problem since it work with previous release | 09:14 |
| soreau | saburo: Right but that doesn't answer the question | 09:14 |
| lins | #ubuntu-cn | 09:14 |
| saburo | I see the tv as second monitor in ubuntu monitor configuration | 09:15 |
| dr_willis | i have also seen with some laptops where differnt kernel versions can affect the fn-Special keys to toggle external monitors on/off. but that dosent sound like the case here. | 09:15 |
| soreau | saburo: So it shows as connected and enabled but it's black? | 09:16 |
| saburo | yes | 09:16 |
| dr_willis | is it set to clone, or extended desktop? | 09:16 |
| saburo | ... | 09:16 |
| saburo | wait | 09:16 |
| * dr_willis waits..... | 09:16 | |
| soreau | saburo: Can you pastebin the output of 'xrandr -q' to paste.ubuntu.com? | 09:16 |
| saburo | I want to explain the problem better | 09:17 |
| soreau | Great, we're all for that | 09:17 |
| saburo | When I start ubuntu, i see both monitor and tv working together. But when I login to system, all scree are black because i have configured the tv as main monitor and disabled the laptop monitor | 09:19 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| saburo | the configuration work when i start ubuntu with previous version of linux kernel as stated before | 09:19 |
| soreau | saburo: So the kernel driver is working but there's a problem with the X driver | 09:19 |
| dr_willis | so it works on the GDM login screen.. but not once the user logs in? | 09:20 |
| soreau | saburo: Does it work if you don't disable the laptop screen? | 09:20 |
| Starminn | Banshee will not open. I have tried reinstalling, and even purged it yet the error persists. The error Banshee gives is: http://pastie.org/2122608 while an attempt to run from terminal was: http://pastie.org/2122611 Any assistance is appreciated. :) (Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit) | 09:20 |
| saburo | I do not remember that...i think yes. The problem is when i disabled the laptop monitor | 09:21 |
| soreau | Starminn: Looks like a problem with sqlite | 09:22 |
| dr_willis | so the error is some how related to the users config. but when you boot an older kernel on the same system. it does work? | 09:22 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| soreau | Starminn: Perhaps you need sqlite3 installed? (or sqlite) | 09:22 |
| Starminn | soreau: In the repos? | 09:22 |
| soreau | saburo: It may be worth it to test if it works with the laptop screen enabled so you can file an informative bug report | 09:23 |
| soreau | Starminn: yes | 09:23 |
| saburo | dr_willis yes.. well. The configuration disable laptop monitor and enable only the tv | 09:23 |
| PythonSnake | Hi | 09:23 |
| dr_willis | also test with a newly made user. see if the 'defaults' do work. | 09:23 |
| PythonSnake | is kernel 3.0.0 good ? | 09:23 |
| PythonSnake | Should I upgrade ? | 09:23 |
| saburo | I remember now that when all monitor work, the second is the continuation of the first as the monitor is one attached the other | 09:24 |
| vandemar | PythonSnake: it's not out yet | 09:24 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, if you ahve to ask if you should use the alpha-version of the next release..... i dont think you should. :) | 09:24 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: If you don't have a reason to update your kernel, you probably shouldn't | 09:24 |
| PythonSnake | soreau: why ? :( | 09:24 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: Because it could cause unnecessary breakage | 09:25 |
| saburo | or the monitor show the same image but since the resolution is different, ubuntu use not the best resolution of my tv but that all monitor can support | 09:25 |
| dr_willis | if you dont have a reason... why bother.. :) | 09:26 |
| PythonSnake | soreau: breakage like ? | 09:26 |
| saburo | right. | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, system not booting... | 09:26 |
| PythonSnake | my reason is to keep updated (more stable) | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, drivers not working | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | !latest | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 09:27 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: The kernel is the program in charge of the entire system at the hardware level. Using an unstable kernel could cause any number of problems | 09:27 |
| PythonSnake | oh | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, updateing to a testing version of the kenel is the opposite of more stable | 09:27 |
| saburo | I want only the tv connected when I use it | 09:28 |
| Starminn | soreau: No luck. | 09:28 |
| PythonSnake | dr_willis what about 2.6.39 ? | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | saburo, so basically when the interenal moniotor turns off.. so does the external.. | 09:28 |
| soreau | Starminn: Well that was my only idea, sorry | 09:28 |
| saburo | dr_willis: yes | 09:28 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: Why are you considering upgrading your kernel? | 09:28 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, I just use whats in the repos.. ive rarely needed to force upgrades or do anything weird with the kernels | 09:28 |
| Starminn | soreau: Hehe, that's alright. It was a good guess! | 09:29 |
| PythonSnake | okok | 09:29 |
| smmsadrnezh | I have ubuntu 10.04 on my Virtualbox and my OS is the same. I can't change the screen size of my virtual ubuntu! | 09:29 |
| PythonSnake | no kernel upgrade | 09:29 |
| PythonSnake | :) | 09:29 |
| PythonSnake | thx | 09:29 |
| smmsadrnezh | I went to System >> Preferences >> Monitors | 09:29 |
| FloodBot1 | PythonSnake: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | saburo, you might want to search/post a question on the askubuntu.com site and the forums. - it could be some bug with that exact chipset. | 09:29 |
| PythonSnake | ... | 09:29 |
| vk|lavi | Hi all! | 09:29 |
| gry | hello | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, the normal update/upgrade process will upgrade the kernel as needed. | 09:29 |
| smmsadrnezh | but the only option for resulotion is 800*600 | 09:29 |
| jragon_ | Hi! | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, what version of vbox? | 09:30 |
| smmsadrnezh | resolution* | 09:30 |
| vk|lavi | I want to create Live-CD for PC-reanimation | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | vk|lavi, theres 100's of live cds out there... | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | if not 1000's :) | 09:30 |
| vk|lavi | so, i have to implement an antivirus scanner on it (for Windows) | 09:30 |
| Starminn | Backslashes aren't working in terminal for me. | 09:30 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: Virtualbox 4 | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | vk|lavi, thats been done also... | 09:30 |
| vk|lavi | dr_willis, I need my pwn with my set of utils :) | 09:30 |
| Starminn | Err... Whichever *slash* it is that looks like this: \ | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, you might need to install the vbox guest addations.. ie not messed with vb4 lately | 09:30 |
| jragon_ | For some reason I can't get wine working. I can't open .exe files. It comes up with file.exe is not marked as exevuteable...? | 09:30 |
| Mysterytrain | what's the terminal command to start openssh server | 09:31 |
| saburo | ok...thanks | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | vk|lavi, the askubuntu.com site had a thread on making your own live cds. | 09:31 |
| Starminn | jragon_: Right-click on the file, properties, permissions, mark as executable | 09:31 |
| chaddy | Mysterytrain: sudo start ssh | 09:31 |
| Mysterytrain | ty | 09:31 |
| soreau | jragon_: Perhaps you need to make it executable with chmod +x /path/to/file.exe | 09:31 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: but I think it does not work with v4? | 09:31 |
| vk|lavi | So can you propose me an antivirus scanner for windows, running under Linux? | 09:31 |
| dr_willis | jragon_, do it from a terminal as an alternative.. 'wine /path/to/whatever/file,exe' | 09:31 |
| gry | jragon_: right click, permissions tab in propertiesm mark as executable, retry | 09:31 |
| hamnegga | Anyone here got any vulnerable ip's? | 09:31 |
| hamnegga | share em. | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | vk|lavi, theres like 3... clamav, and a few other companies that have linux versions now.. some even have their own live-cds | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | !av | 09:32 |
| gry | hamnegga: what are you trying to do ? | 09:32 |
| 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 | 09:32 |
| soreau | hamnegga: Please stay on topic | 09:32 |
| jragon_ | Ok, thanks! | 09:32 |
| vk|lavi | dr_willis, does clamAv scan for Windows viruses? | 09:32 |
| gry | vk|lavi: Yes. | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | vk|lavi, they ALL scan for windows vuiruses | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | sort of a limited use if they dident. :) | 09:32 |
| vk|lavi | well, thank you for your advises :) | 09:33 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: What should I do? there is no way with this version? | 09:33 |
| PythonSnake | why does my / or /home needs to be fixed every boot ? | 09:33 |
| saburo | Another problem: the touchpad too much click-sensitive | 09:33 |
| gry | saburo: Same here. Happens with any OS, though. | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, i havent used vbox4 yet. so im not sure what may be the issue. Other then installing the proper guest addations in the guest os.. not sure what else to try. | 09:33 |
| wols | PythonSnake: are you accessing it from windows with fs-driver or such? | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, perhaps youa renot shutting down properly | 09:33 |
| Starminn | Ubuntu 10.10, this slash \ the one for escaping things, isn't working for me in Terminal. Instead it turns into a why with to marks along the vertical axis. | 09:33 |
| Starminn | s/why/"Y" | 09:34 |
| fizy[droid] | hey did anyone else with lucid just experience a crash? I was sitting ion my bed, when I heard my hdd spin down. i tried sshing into it to from my droid see if it crashed, since I'm too lazy to go check it | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | fizy[droid], that would be ratehr impressive if a bug crashed every lucid machine at the same time. | 09:34 |
| wols | smmsadrnezh: you need the guest additions for v4 of course. and you get them the same place you got v4 in the first place | 09:34 |
| Dasc | right anyone good with apache2 setups | 09:34 |
| wols | you also might want the v4 host kernel module | 09:35 |
| dgf | hi, i just bough a ext hard disk and formatted with exfat but i cant open in ubuntu | 09:35 |
| dgf | anyone could help, much appreciated | 09:35 |
| fizy[droid] | I just want to make sure its the OS s fault like an auto update. and not my machine on fire | 09:35 |
| PythonSnake | wols: no | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | dgf, why did you use exfat ? | 09:35 |
| Dasc | am trying to hide webserver info and it's not working >_X I've put in ServerToken Prod and its still showing the same | 09:35 |
| dgf | is there any quick fix to format to FAT | 09:35 |
| wols | !exfat | 09:35 |
| PythonSnake | dr_willis: I do | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXX | 09:35 |
| wols | dgf: just reformat it with fat. data on the disk is lost tho | 09:35 |
| dgf | dr_willis: windows only have NTFS and exFat | 09:35 |
| dgf | dr_willis: i mean the shop i bought at have windows pc and he formatted for me | 09:36 |
| dgf | there are only NTFS and exFAT options | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | err.... windows works with vfat just fine.. im not even sure what 'exfat' is and how its related.. I thought it was the fat used by the xbox's | 09:36 |
| dgf | i dont know. he showed me in the Windows Patrition thing and there are only 2 formats | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | I dont recall ever seeing 'exfat' as an option when formating in windows. | 09:36 |
| dr_willis | why not just use ntfs? | 09:36 |
| dgf | no idea | 09:36 |
| wols | dr_willis: embedded fat version, good for msft to extract royalties and to have a minor improvement voer fat32 | 09:36 |
| fizy[droid] | and I don't want to reboot it, since BIOS makes really loud beeps, and its 430 my time | 09:36 |
| dgf | can ubuntu read ntfs? | 09:37 |
| wols | dr_willis: windows 7 | 09:37 |
| xophe | ubuntu reads ntfs yes | 09:37 |
| soreau | dgf: yes | 09:37 |
| dgf | ohhh. | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | I dont see much need to mess with fat at all these days | 09:37 |
| linuxuz3r | hey guys | 09:37 |
| linuxuz3r | im on ubuntu | 09:37 |
| linuxuz3r | lol | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | !ntfs-3g | 09:37 |
| ubottu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 09:37 |
| dgf | i always have thought ntfs is only for windows | 09:37 |
| linuxuz3r | its nice to see a new interface | 09:37 |
| dr_willis | dgf, years ago.... that was true... | 09:37 |
| dgf | ohh. so how can i format ntfs in ubuntu | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | mkfs.ntfs | 09:38 |
| dgf | is it a utility? | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | or use gparted and install the proper ntfs gools first | 09:38 |
| soreau | dgf: ntfs is just the NT File System. Any OS with a driver supporting this file system type can use it | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | dgf, use gparted. | 09:38 |
| ashickur-noor | hi | 09:38 |
| ashickur-noor | have any body install firefox 5 in Lucid | 09:38 |
| dgf | ohh | 09:38 |
| ashickur-noor | if you do please give me the ppa | 09:38 |
| dgf | okie dr_willis , ill try it now | 09:38 |
| linuxuz3r | ashickur-noor its in beta right | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | ashickur-noor, i think i saw a guide on it at the webupd8 web site. | 09:38 |
| dr_willis | or was it the omgubuntu site. | 09:39 |
| Abc | hi..I installed ubuntu in my new hp notebook and istalled the video driver from ADDITIONAL DRIVERS. After installation it asked for a restart and after I restarted the lappy started in text mode.Plz help me. | 09:39 |
| ashickur-noor | I need the stable version | 09:39 |
| dr_willis | Abc, and your video chipset is? | 09:39 |
| ashickur-noor | Have any body tried it? | 09:39 |
| fizy[droid] | abo type wisp service gdm start | 09:39 |
| Abc | dr_willis : _I dont know exactly about it but its AMD RADEON 1.0 GB dedicated | 09:40 |
| fizy[droid] | abo what I meant to say is sudo, not wisp. stupid auto cottect | 09:40 |
| chaddy | wisp quite a creative typo for "sudo"? | 09:40 |
| dr_willis | http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html | 09:40 |
| fizy[droid] | chaddy Stfu | 09:41 |
| dgf | dr_willis: i m on my gparted and try to creatre a new volume, however, the filesystem option -> NTFS is greyed out | 09:41 |
| chaddy | fizy[droid]: get a grip of yourself | 09:41 |
| bazhang | fizy[droid], stop that now | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | dgf, you need the proper ntfs config tools installed befor you start gparted | 09:41 |
| linuxuz3r | can you uninstall ppa properly? | 09:41 |
| eFfeM | hi, my 11.04 does not start X any more, when I log in on a console I can start it by running startx manually, already tried recreating the initramfs, but that did not help, anyone an idea ? | 09:41 |
| dgf | dr_willis: how to do that | 09:41 |
| bazhang | linuxuz3r, with ppa-purge | 09:41 |
| dr_willis | willis@Cowbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs | 09:41 |
| fizy[droid] | chaddy sorry. I'm on a touchscreen and long msgs are obnoxious | 09:42 |
| bazhang | !info ppa-purge | linuxuz3r | 09:42 |
| ubottu | linuxuz3r: ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8+bzr56 (natty), package size 4 kB, installed size 56 kB | 09:42 |
| fizy[droid] | bazhang ^^ | 09:42 |
| linuxuz3r | ok thanks | 09:42 |
| dgf | dr_willis: so, once i install ntfsprogs, whats next | 09:42 |
| linuxuz3r | im not in natty though | 09:42 |
| dr_willis | dgf, then you start gparted | 09:42 |
| dgf | ohh | 09:42 |
| linuxuz3r | im in 10.04 | 09:42 |
| bazhang | linuxuz3r, what version | 09:42 |
| linuxuz3r | lucid | 09:43 |
| Starminn | Backslash (\) will not work in Terminal. It is instead replaced with some type of "Y". Assist? | 09:43 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, does it work in the console? what language are you using? | 09:44 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: Which console? I'm just using Bash. | 09:44 |
| linuxuz3r | Starminn try \\ | 09:44 |
| zphinx | Been trying to install ubuntu over both pxe and usb and dvd lately on my compaq, and i keep having the installation hang on me every time after i've chosen a keyboard layout, anyone who might know the reason for this? | 09:44 |
| Starminn | linuxuz3r: Umm... No effect. | 09:44 |
| chaddy | zphinx: maybe try the alternate install disc | 09:45 |
| fizy[droid] | well I'm out before auto correct creates more mayhem In here. peace. | 09:45 |
| gaymish | Starminn: fresh install or just started to happen randomly? | 09:45 |
| Starminn | gaymish: Just happen randomly. | 09:45 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i run firefox 3 on natty to access a crappy governement website? | 09:45 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, the consoles are 'alt-ctrl-f1 throguh f6' bash is a shell you run. | 09:45 |
| zphinx | chaddy: ill give it a shot | 09:45 |
| Starminn | It still works rather, but it appears oddly. | 09:46 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: Nah, just a Terminal window. Single instance of gnome-terminal | 09:46 |
| PythonSnake | everytime I start ubuntu it says errors have been found in /home press f to fix s to skip ... | 09:46 |
| PythonSnake | anyone know how to fix that | 09:46 |
| PythonSnake | ? | 09:46 |
| sammmy | how do I open a file in gedit as admin? | 09:46 |
| chaddy | zphinx: it's a bit less user friendly but it's more robust, hardware wise | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, if it works. but looks weird.. i wonder if its a font issue | 09:46 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, 'gksudo gedit /path/to/file.txt' | 09:46 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: I'll try a different font | 09:46 |
| sammmy | dr_willis, why gksudo and not just sudo? | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, You could boot a live cd and fsck the filesystem. and be sure you shutdown properly. | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | !gksudo | 09:47 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:47 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: Yep, that was it. Alright, thanks, and sorry for the silly overlook, haha | 09:47 |
| PythonSnake | how to fsck ? | 09:47 |
| sammmy | And is there a way to run a command in the directory that's open in a active nautilus window? | 09:47 |
| dr_willis | !fsck | 09:48 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:48 |
| PythonSnake | ok | 09:48 |
| PythonSnake | thx | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, run from a terminal, getting it to use the dir from some differnt natuilus window? | 09:48 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, or what do you mean exactly? | 09:48 |
| Abc | dr_willis : Its NVIDIA VGA | 09:49 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: Out of curiosity, what font do you use in gnome-terminal? | 09:49 |
| sammmy | dr_willis, well, if I have a directory open in nautilus, is there a way to run a command on that directory without needing to open terminal and then cd-ing to the directory I already have open in nautilus? | 09:50 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, using the default - i think its ubuntu on 11.04 let me look. | 09:50 |
| lotuspsychje | how can i downgrade firefox 5 to 3 on natty? | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, you can drag/drop a directory icon to a terminal window (or a file) and i think it fills in the path. | 09:51 |
| dr_willis | cd 'drag-and-drop' | 09:51 |
| markyxl | hi, does somebody have and idea why some scripts from /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks won't run on update-initramfs? i checked verbose log and it acts like they're not even there... they are all executable with correct access rights. or is there a list of scripts to run I have to edit? | 09:51 |
| Starminn | sammmy: Or just "gksudo nautilus" and do whatever you need. | 09:52 |
| sammmy | dr_willis, still have to open a terminal and then cd then drag and drop. Would be cool if nautilus had a run command feature, maybe in the future it will. | 09:52 |
| sammmy | Why gksudo though? I though it was just sudo? | 09:52 |
| sammmy | thought* | 09:52 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, ive seen nauilus variants with terminals embeded in them on the f8 key. | 09:52 |
| dr_willis | sammmy, to set up proper variables so gui apps run properly | 09:52 |
| dr_willis | running nautilus as root.. can get dangerous if you forget its running as root. | 09:53 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, monospaced 10 seems to be my default font. | 09:53 |
| dgf | dr_willis: i have partitioned into threee drives | 09:53 |
| dgf | but it is weird, i only see 2 partitions | 09:54 |
| dgf | for your info, all of them are NTFS | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | did you mount all 3 of them? | 09:54 |
| dr_willis | 'see' them where exactly? | 09:54 |
| dgf | yeah | 09:54 |
| soreau | lol | 09:55 |
| dgf | i mount all 3 of them | 09:55 |
| dgf | on the removable media | 09:55 |
| sammmy | It seems like ubuntu is overriding GNOME's black cursor with ubuntu's white one. How can I prevent this? | 09:55 |
| soreau | dgf: Perhaps one of the partitions simply isn't mounted? | 09:55 |
| dgf | i even tried to delete and create again | 09:55 |
| dgf | yet it doesnt appear | 09:55 |
| dr_willis | if you deleted a partion while it was mounted.. tye shstem can be confused.. i suggest a reboot.. | 09:56 |
| soreau | dgf: 'removable media' may or may not always be reliable | 09:56 |
| dgf | i try to remove now and plug it in again | 09:56 |
| soreau | I'd use fdisk -l or similar | 09:56 |
| soreau | or that's not right.. | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | 'sudo fdisk -l' | 09:57 |
| soreau | oh yea :) | 09:57 |
| dr_willis | dgf, i hope you are unmounting eveyrthing BEFOR you unplug the device. | 09:57 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: I've got one for you that's stumped me for awhile. This happened one day and no matter what font I try, it does not alleviate the problem. http://imagebin.org/160008 The letters start to blend together. For example, if you look where my pointer is, well, pointing (at your name, in fact) the W and i blend together. I'm also using (and have been using) Monospace at size 10. | 09:57 |
| dgf | Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 31871 256003776 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb2 31872 63742 256003807+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb3 63743 121597 464720287+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | 09:57 |
| soreau | dgf: See? You have /dev/sdb1, 2 and 3 | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | dgf, why did you make 3 partitions anyway? | 09:58 |
| dgf | yeah | 09:58 |
| dgf | i did | 09:58 |
| soreau | drWho cares :) | 09:58 |
| soreau | dr_willis: * | 09:58 |
| dgf | one 250GB, one 250GB | 09:58 |
| dgf | and third one is the remaining | 09:58 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, ive had so many gfx issues with unity.. im rolling my own desktop with openbox and docky right now. :) | 09:58 |
| soreau | dr_willis: Bah, just use compiz master or gnome classic | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | dgf, i suggest a reboot. and sdee if you can access them from a sane state. | 09:59 |
| dgf | ohh | 09:59 |
| dgf | okie | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | soreau, you can use compositing in fluxbox or openbox via the xcompmgr tool :) | 09:59 |
| soreau | dgf: I'd suggest you review the output of 'mount' | 09:59 |
| vandemar | why does ubuntu's dhclient.conf have dhcp-client-identifier not set by default? | 09:59 |
| dr_willis | gnome-classic had the same gfx issues as unity | 09:59 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: This is on 10.10.. | 09:59 |
| soreau | dr_willis: Oh come the hell on. Those wimps aren't even comparable to the mastery that is compiz | 09:59 |
| soreau | get real man ;) | 10:00 |
| dr_willis | You misspelt 'mastery' it should be 'doodie' :) | 10:00 |
| soreau | pffft | 10:00 |
| markyxl | why some scripts from /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks won't run on update-initramfs? i checked verbose log and it acts like they're not even there... they are all executable with correct access rights... is there a list of scripts to run I have to edit? | 10:01 |
| soreau | dr_willis: Can xcompmgr do wobbly windows, cube and blur? | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | actually ive seen/heard about a lot of issues with the compiz in 11.04 - seems a lot of pepole are going back to the older compiz. | 10:01 |
| PythonSnake | is ubuntu one safe ? | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | soreau, it does enough so that the docks/docky/awn/whatever work fine. :) thats all i need. | 10:01 |
| soreau | Yes, compiz 0.8.x is still the stable version | 10:01 |
| soreau | dr_willis: bah | 10:01 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, safe in what way? | 10:01 |
| soreau | that's not compositing | 10:01 |
| soreau | that's just using a dock | 10:01 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: This is on 10.10, not 11.04. Does the same still apply? | 10:02 |
| PythonSnake | reliable.. | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, not sure. | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, ive never lost anything there yet.. | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | PythonSnake, use dropbox and ubuntuone - and keep backups i guess.. | 10:02 |
| soreau | I don't trust it so I don't use it | 10:02 |
| dr_willis | I keep wallpaper and other notes there. I like u1's use of the notes | 10:03 |
| PythonSnake | soreau: why o.o ? | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | it would be neat to some how sync my desktop settings to U1,. so all my box's are the same. | 10:03 |
| dr_willis | proberly doable.. but i havent bothered to try | 10:03 |
| soreau | PythonSnake: General trust issues | 10:04 |
| razz1 | I am getting a new 4kb sector HDD for my laptop, I would like to image my existing partitions on 512bytes sector HDD and move them to the new 4kb sector HDD, what's the best way to do this. | 10:04 |
| soreau | I don't trust even myself sometimes | 10:04 |
| PythonSnake | .. | 10:04 |
| bt | hi. i accidently deleted my lubuntu-rc.xml. where can i find a copy? | 10:05 |
| soreau | bt: On the live cd? | 10:06 |

| dr_willis | tang_, do you have an actual ubuntu support question? or do you just like my nick ? :) | 10:16 |
| Rexodus | Ik think the last one... | 10:17 |
| tang_ | dr_willis,I,linux mint11 | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | tang_, mint has its own support channels. | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | !mint | tang_ | 10:18 |
| ubottu | tang_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | hay. srunge.us can work with pastebinit also! :) | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | pastebinit -b "http://sprunge.us" lubuntu-rc.xml <--- handy. | 10:19 |

| Starminn | Is it possible to open a .dat file in Ubuntu? | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | what exactly is a 'dat' file supposed to contain? | 10:21 |
| chalcedony | hi dr_willis *hugs* | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | moo chalcedony ! | 10:21 |
| chalcedony | :) | 10:21 |
| tang_ | tdr_willis thank you | 10:21 |
| Starminn | Ehh.... Data I suppose... :/ I believe it has plain text or HTML in it, but I cannot seem ot open it. | 10:22 |
| westz | Starminn, depends on what program reads it. some .dat files are sound files, some are text, some are voodoo | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, gedit foo.dat and see. | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | file foo.dat see what ie says | 10:22 |
| pRoV7x | hello folks | 10:22 |
| chalcedony | what do i need to fix, the last update of ubuntu seems to have affected my mouse - it loses stuff i highlight if i touch anything before i paste it? (regular mouse, not custom) | 10:23 |
| pRoV7x | now i downloaded the Gparted live CD, which is about 127 Mb, how can i boot with it from a USB flash memory? | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | pRoV7x, the tools at the pendrivelinux web site can put it on a usb flash for you. | 10:24 |
| dr_willis | they have tools that can put gparted and other live cds on the same pendrive if you wanted. | 10:25 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: I've been trying things like that, and this is what I get: http://imagebin.org/160011 whereas if I open it with other programs (Geany, LibreOffice, and even Notepad++ (a Windows program) in WINE since it's off my Windows partition) I get symbols, etc. | 10:25 |
| pRoV7x | where is that, is that a website? | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, where did this mystical file come from anyway? what was supposed to be in it? | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | pRoV7x, type pendrivelinux in your browser | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | its a web site.. yes | 10:25 |
| pRoV7x | < dr_willis > alright | 10:26 |
| Starminn | Chat logs from back when I used Yahoo! Messenger client. I wanted to grep them for something | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | they could be encoded/compressed/ or who knows what else... | 10:26 |
| Starminn | They may be only able to open in Yahoo!Messenger, perhaps? | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | You may need to do some reserch to see if theres some other ways.. | 10:27 |
| Starminn | Is it possible to explore other Windows partitions from a Windows VM? | 10:27 |
| ChaosSaber | Starminn, I believe those files are only attached to the Messenger | 10:28 |
| Optimus_ | bom dia | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | vbox can mount 'real' windows partitions. but the manual mentions it can cause data loss... | 10:28 |
| ChaosSaber | Inside em are normaly just codes and crap | 10:28 |
| Starminn | ChaosSaber: Indeed. My same thoughts. | 10:28 |
| Starminn | dr_willis: Even if I'm only reading them -- not writing? | 10:28 |
| Starminn | And why did you put 'real' in quotes? | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | Starminn, real as in real physical disks... | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | a virtual hd is 'real' :) but not physical. | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | you an even convert the 2 | 10:29 |
| nnull | just like my virtual gf | 10:30 |

| zphinx | just managed to load up an ubuntu pxe install with the alternate cd on my laptop with tftpd, and now for some reason the laptop cant connect to any of the ubuntu mirrors | 11:00 |
| === root is now known as Guest72599 | ||
| _martin_ | anybody ever setup up unionfs in ubuntu?? | 11:01 |
| zphinx | should i reenable dhcp on the home hub once the pxe install has gotten going? | 11:01 |
| dr_willis | zphinx, or set up static up/dns perhaps. | 11:01 |
| zphinx | tftpd is providing dhcp atm, the home hub is still there but with dhcp turned off | 11:02 |
| Phylock | I have a problem with my webcams, i can only activate each of them once for each boot. Second time I try to start it I get a "select timeout". it doesn't matter(tried in vlc, opencv code and mplayer) in which program i start it, so i guess its a v4l2 problem. Any ideas how to continue? | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | could be the tftpd is not getting the right info from the hub then? ive never domne an inzstall this way | 11:02 |
| voicu | how can I give applications "fake" fullscreen resolutions? i.e. something not listed in system settings -> display | 11:02 |
| zphinx | dr_willis: its a major pain in the ass, i can tell you. | 11:03 |
| Gilgha | Hi | 11:03 |
| Phylock | voicu: meny applications hav a config file, try to hadcode it in there. | 11:03 |
| Gilgha | Is somebody know how to transfert data between Win7 and Ubuntu with a RJ45 wire? | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | Gilgha, you mean a network cable? | 11:04 |
| Gilgha | yep dr_willis, an ethernet calbe | 11:04 |
| Gilgha | *cable | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | Gilgha, you need either a crossover cable. or 1000gb network cards I think. | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | or whatever that term is.. im groggy. :) | 11:05 |
| Gilgha | I do have a crossover cable | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | then set up static ip's on both box's - see if they can ping each other.. then start copying. | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | winscp is handy for this | 11:05 |
| walt | what is it that allows for example thunar to mount drives without root? And not adding anything to /etc/fstab | 11:05 |
| lafon | hmm...I get this error when trying to start up a program thru wine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632955/ | 11:05 |
| Gilgha | winscp so that you copy with SFTP? | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | walt, its using the gvfs service/feature i belive | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | winscp = ssh client for windows with a ftp like front end. yes. | 11:06 |
| wols | dr_willis: not thunar | 11:06 |
| ghsh | walt: mtab | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | not thunar? Hmm. i may be thining of pcmanfm then | 11:06 |
| Gilgha | ok that's not a bad idea. I first tought of using samba but winftp seems to be a better choice | 11:06 |
| dr_willis | I still like rox-filer :) but its the old-skool kid these days | 11:07 |
| Gilgha | thanks dr_willis | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | samba is a pain. :) ssh/scp will take less time to get going | 11:07 |
| walt | ghsh: so, thunar adds an entry to /etc/mtab and then mounts it? | 11:07 |
| dr_willis | not sure how much faster/slower scp would be compared to samba. | 11:07 |
| wols | dr_willis: those both don't use gvfs. xfce brings its own autmounter | 11:08 |
| Gilgha | ok thanks I'm gonna try this right now | 11:08 |
| dr-lee | hi | 11:08 |
| ghsh | walt: kind of -- thuner user a prog that does that | 11:08 |
| wols | dr_willis: nautilus, sure. the others: no | 11:08 |
| ghsh | uses | 11:08 |
| dr_willis | wols, i missread at --> http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/ | 11:08 |
| walt | ghsh: what does it use? Because editing /etc/mtab also requires root priviliges? | 11:09 |
| dr_willis | its a 'goal' in the next release it seems | 11:09 |
| walt | Just trying to wrap my head around what I would need to do to mount things as a user and not use thunar | 11:09 |
| Ampelbein | walt, ghsh: I guess you are looking for fuse. | 11:09 |
| ghsh | walt: edit /etc/group | 11:10 |
| dr_willis | but then it says the 'next geenration of pcmanfm is to be out in 2010' ... so im not sure if its doing it or not.. | 11:10 |
| wols | dr_willis: isn't pcmanfm the filemanager for one of the "Light" desktops? dragging in gvfs and therefore gnome would be a stupid idea | 11:10 |

| dr_willis | I just noticed that my filemanager icon is launching nautilus, not pcmanfm. :) so the point is moot for me anyway | 11:11 |

| ghsh | dilruk: sun | 11:21 |
| apporc | How are you , my friends , with ubuntu 10.10 , under /etc/init why there isn't a apache2.conf file | 11:21 |
| sugoruyo | ghsh: what you're talking about is basically running top in intervals and getting the info from its output, putting it through a script keeping the min and max and summing it so we can have an average at the end | 11:21 |
| sugoruyo | right? | 11:21 |
| ghsh | dilruk: solaris all the way | 11:21 |
| wols | apporc: cause there shouldn't be any conf files in /etc/init.d/ | 11:21 |
| dilruk | ghsh: why do you say so? | 11:21 |
| apporc | Is that apache2 is not controled by upstart? | 11:21 |
| ghsh | sugoruyo: yes | 11:22 |
| sugoruyo | ghsh: i don't want no gui method, it's gonna be run over ssh on ubuntu server headless machines | 11:22 |
| ghsh | dilruk: runs better sun --- is java! they even had a java desktop | 11:22 |
| sugoruyo | ghsh: the part i'm unfamiliar with is the bash scripting, specifically which commands i could use (and how) to "parse" the output from top | 11:23 |
| ghsh | sugoruyo: then there you go | 11:23 |
| apporc | wols: not /etc/init.d , it is /etc/init . | 11:23 |
| dilruk | ghsh: im also using sun. just wondering if open jdk is any good | 11:23 |
| ghsh | sugoruyo: man bash sed bc touch mkdir etc | 11:23 |

| dilruk | thanks i will take a look | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | they never should of enabled that whitelist/blacklist feature.. it causes way to many issues.. or they should of made some 'grandfather systray' gizmo you could use. | 12:02 |
| CodenameStrike | dr_willis: well with that the issue was apparently the app hides its tray icon when its idle, and has to be invoked from KDE's dropdown list of hidden tray icons | 12:02 |
| CodenameStrike | in the tray | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | Im not sure why theres such a trend to change/hate/mess with the indicator-systray-stuff. | 12:02 |
| CodenameStrike | dr_willis: like? | 12:03 |
| CodenameStrike | well even if it wasn't enabled... I don't think the blacklist/whitelist problem applies to Qt apps | 12:03 |
| CodenameStrike | well, some of them, anyway | 12:03 |
| ghsh | <oshekfeh> man modprobe and ismode | 12:04 |
| oshekfeh | ghsh: ok thanks | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | CodenameStrike, they just basically broke many apps from even accessign it.. :) why the trend to 'get rid of the left/right' menus, why no more animated icons.. why 'mono-color themes' buy default.... | 12:04 |
| dr_willis | you can install 'alternative' systray programs like trayer, and stalonetray to make it a littel easier. | 12:05 |

| elyawy | i have already checked | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | wsagent, no. :) | 12:46 |
| _dmk | dr_willis just plugged out and plugged in the sata and now it works | 12:46 |
| _dmk | haha | 12:46 |
| ChaosSaber | dr_willis, when I installed ubuntu some how I wiped my bootloader for win7 lol | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | _dmk, hot plugged? :) | 12:46 |
| _dmk | thanks :p | 12:46 |
| _dmk | dr_willis no :) | 12:46 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, i let ubuntu handle the bootloading.. | 12:46 |
| ChaosSaber | yeah I learnt that the hard way lol | 12:47 |
| wsagent | Thanks ubottu and dr_willis | 12:47 |
| ChaosSaber | ended up having to reinstall on both drives | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | _dmk, the whole 'sata' hot plugging 'feature' seems to be somthing that onece people talked about.. but ive never seen actually used. | 12:47 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, on 2 hd setups. i keep grub on the linux hd.. and dont let it touch windows. | 12:47 |
| ChaosSaber | mostly used for esata | 12:47 |
| elyawy | but the fix is not good | 12:47 |
| _dmk | dr_willis it will also not work in bios :p | 12:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | elyawy: Did you mean MAC9.1 or Ubuntu 9.10? | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | esata - i ahve some of those also.. but it never seems to work. - usb3 seems to be gaining foothold however.. thats good. | 12:48 |
| elyawy | mac 9,1 | 12:48 |
| PythonSnake | Hi ChaosSaber | 12:48 |
| PythonSnake | :) | 12:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | 9,1 is not a number :( | 12:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | 9.1? | 12:48 |
| ChaosSaber | Im still rockin USB2.0 lol | 12:48 |
| elyawy | yep | 12:49 |
| dr_willis | ChaosSaber, i got pcs with usb1 :) | 12:49 |

| RevSpecies116 | I thought DB Jobs converted to intel with MacOS X | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | RevSpecies116, as far as i know . its not... | 12:50 |
| elyawy | not mac os 9 | 12:50 |
| dr_willis | I dont recall macs having #'s like that either. | 12:50 |

| dr_willis | osos, is it a scanner/printer combo? | 12:51 |
| elyawy | in all linux distributions there is no sound on this model | 12:51 |
| osos | Does anyone know how to tackle this problem. | 12:51 |

| osos | dr_willis: cheers, I'll do that. | 12:52 |
| elyawy | no, i am running ubuntu 11.04 on my imac and the sound is not working , it is an intel imac from 2009 there is a fix on the ubuntu website but the sound is not as strong as it should be . | 12:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | Thanks, elyawy - That gives us more info to help you with :) | 12:55 |
| elyawy | i would also like to know if it is possible to push an update into ubuntu to fix that bug once and for all :) | 12:56 |
| RevSpecies116 | elyawy: If you have a patch you want included in the next Ubuntu release [11.10], then as long as your code's copyright has been signed over to Canonical and it works, it should be included :) | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | so the fix on the web site is not realy a fix? | 12:58 |
| dr_willis | but the problem exists on other disrots and linux releases as well? | 12:58 |
| elyawy | this problem exist on all linux distros i have tried | 12:59 |

| dr_willis | but if its affecting other disrots as well.. sounds like an alsa or kernel issue. | 13:01 |
| elyawy | yep it is alsa actually (i think) | 13:01 |
| Neohasreturned | Hi all noob here could someone tell me if there is a program that enables you to have a virtual cd drive a bit like daemon tools virtual drive by elby? | 13:01 |
| dr_willis | Neohasreturned, you can mount iso files to a directory. no special tools needed | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | !loop | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | !iso | 13:02 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | theres also a front end to doing that i recall. | 13:02 |
| tsimpson | Neohasreturned: that's built into linux, you don't need external software like in some other OS's | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | dont expect disk-based copy protection to work with it however... | 13:02 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, Is there an easy way to do it? | 13:02 |
| dr_willis | « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » is easy.. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:03 |
| Neohasreturned | tsimpson, I aint very familiar with terminal | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | i forget the nautilus extension to add it to the menus.. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | ive seen it done wher eyou right click on iso, and can mount it. | 13:03 |
| tsimpson | Neohasreturned: there is gmountiso | 13:03 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, What I'm trying to do is test different distros in vbox without burning the isos | 13:03 |
| RevSpecies116 | Neohasreturned: Do you use the ubuntu Software Center, or Apt-get? | 13:04 |
| Neohasreturned | gmountiso is that gui based? | 13:04 |
| elyawy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac | 13:04 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, I use software centre | 13:04 |
| tsimpson | Neohasreturned: yes, it's a GUI that just runs the commands for you in the background | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | Neohasreturned, vbox has that feature built in.. no need to do ANY of this ... | 13:04 |
| Neohasreturned | tsimpson, Thanks for that | 13:05 |
| tsimpson | true, you don't mount anything to use ISOs in vbox | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | NeoBlaster, you just add the iso to the vbox volume manager thing... so you are going about this the wrong wauy :) | 13:05 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, I didn't realise it did that | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | i test all these live cd's in vbox that way | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | :) | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | vbox's interface is a little.. odd.. | 13:05 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, Easier to use than vmware tho | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | theres some icon that gets to the disk manager thing. | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | I gave up on vmware ages ago. | 13:05 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, I will try it thanks | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | In vbox. you could use the menus and mount a cd/iso/ also.. then reboot vbox. that can work | 13:06 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, Thanks alot you wouldn't happen to know what is the best program to rip audio cds I have tried some and they rip very low or to WAV | 13:07 |
| RevSpecies116 | Audio CD Extractor, Neohasreturned - will rip to OGG's too :) | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | Neohasreturned, most are front ends to the command line tools.. so they can be cofngired to do what you want. | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | or rip to wav. then convert to whatever. | 13:08 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, OGG's are very low quality though aren't they what I am trying to do is convert to 320kbs MP3 so I can transfer to my ipod | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | it all depends on the options you tell it to use i imagine. | 13:09 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, I have come across programs that rip cds but only very low mp3 quality | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | and they proberly have options you can pass to them for higher quality. | 13:10 |
| RevSpecies116 | Incorrect, Neohasreturned - OGG's are actually very good - 160kbs has been scientifically shown to be the transparency threshhold | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | I convert mine to mono. :) since im just playing them as ringtones on my phone... | 13:10 |
| RevSpecies116 | And by transparency - I mean up to the point the human ears cannot persever a difference from the original audio | 13:10 |
| RevSpecies116 | But if you are looking for lossless - rip to FLAC | 13:11 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Do Ipods support OGG formats tho? | 13:11 |
| dr_willis | !ipod | 13:11 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 13:11 |
| RevSpecies116 | Hmmm, Neohasreturned - that is something you could ask Steve Jobs? | 13:11 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, lol I like high quality music on my ipod without as much loss quality as flac lol | 13:12 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, I will just text him hang on lol | 13:12 |
| dr_willis | i do have quiet a few of my cd's ripped to flacc. | 13:12 |

| Neohasreturned | But Flac isn't supported on ipod and also converts to high sizes | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | on my High end $10 pc speakers - i cant tell the differance.. | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | sounds like a flaw with the player if it cant support flac. :) | 13:13 |
| RevSpecies116 | Gosh, doesn't Mr Jobs like the Open Source codecs? | 13:13 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, I can see where your coming from because WAV files tend to be large | 13:13 |
| tsimpson | Neohasreturned: so use rockbox on your ipod :) | 13:13 |
| tsimpson | !rockbox | 13:14 |

| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Gonna take me a while to get over my windows brainwashing I think | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | rip to a lossless format , then reencode as you need to whatever your player wants... | 13:30 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, So how would I configure it to convert to mp3 32okbps | 13:30 |
| solar_ | Abhijit: ... and i'm trying to improve my negotiation skills :) | 13:31 |
| solar_ | oh well | 13:31 |
| PI_314 | does anyone know where the system tools - like network settings, encryption keys and so on - can be found in unity? | 13:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | For that, Neohasreturned, you have to venture into Terminal ;) | 13:31 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, When you say terminal its like watching a scary movie I have no idea how to use that thing | 13:31 |
| Mion | abcde, rip to flac, then reencode to mp3/acc/whatever as needed | 13:31 |
| solar_ | quit | 13:31 |
| solar_ | exit | 13:31 |
| solar_ | escape | 13:32 |
| Mion | /quit works better | 13:32 |
| solar_ | run away | 13:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | :) Neohasreturned :) | 13:32 |
| solar_ | thank u | 13:32 |
| RevSpecies116 | Actually, if you are patient AND have a lot of HDD space, I would recommend ripping to WAV with Sound-Juicer | 13:32 |
| dr_willis | flac and wav should take up same space? or not. Ive never noticed. | 13:33 |
| D-F3NS | hey folks, how can i easily check if my netbook is running with acpi or not? Im using ubuntu 11.04 | 13:33 |
| RevSpecies116 | And then using sound-converter to encode them to 320kbs MP3's | 13:33 |
| elyawy | so i guess i should go fill a bug report for alsa for my sound problem | 13:33 |
| tsimpson | dr_willis: no, flac is compressed, just not lossy | 13:33 |
| RevSpecies116 | Just checked, and it allows CBR 320kbs | 13:33 |
| lotuspsychje | whats the best app for printing labels in natty? | 13:33 |
| dr_willis | tsimpson, ok, i was thinking one was compressed. | 13:33 |
| RevSpecies116 | FLAC = lossless compression | 13:33 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, What allows 320CBR | 13:33 |
| RevSpecies116 | sound converter - a gui | 13:34 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, So would I be better at converting to FLAC then using sound convertor to convert it to mp3 at 320CBR | 13:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | So it is a two step process - rip to Lossless, and convert to 320kbs MP3 :) | 13:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep, exactly, Neohasreturned | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | what if i want 649kbs ! :) | 13:35 |
| RevSpecies116 | A bit convoluted, but it gets you there in the end | 13:35 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, Then convert to flac lol | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | what if i want 640000000 kbs ! :) | 13:35 |
| RevSpecies116 | iPods only handle up to 320kbs - I looked it up ;) | 13:35 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Is there a lossless format in sound-juicer? | 13:35 |
| dr_willis | I want my Kenny G. collection to sound as good as it can. | 13:35 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, They dont they can tolerate apple lossless | 13:36 |
| shaibn | Hello :) I want to run a find, on all the files that changed in the past 24 hours, but *didn't change* in the past 30min. Is this Ok: find /path/to/directory -type f -cmin +30 -mtime -1 | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | sound-juicer may show/hide options depending on what support tools you have installed. | 13:36 |
| RevSpecies116 | Yep - choose CD Quality lossless (.flac type) | 13:36 |
| dr_willis | bbl - off to the store. | 13:36 |
| Neohasreturned | dr_willis, kenny g lol. sound-juicer option how do you mean? | 13:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | In sound juicer, there should be a pull down menu and in that menu should be: | 13:37 |
| d5418007 | hi! | 13:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | CD Quality lossless (.flac type) | 13:37 |
| Cuzzie_ | exit | 13:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | (in preferences) | 13:38 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Yeah I can see that then once that has copied I then use sound converter? | 13:38 |
| RevSpecies116 | Then in sound converter (my version is 1.5.3) | 13:38 |
| RevSpecies116 | edit->preferences | 13:39 |
| Neohasreturned | Yeah I am in sound converter preferences it allows CBR but don't let you set the size? | 13:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | Then: Format: MP3, Bitrate: Constant CBR, Quality: insainly high | 13:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | Insanely High = 320kbs | 13:40 |
| shaibn | or maybe this would be better: find /var/lib/psa/dumps/1/1 -type f -cmin -600 -mtime -1 | 13:41 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Thanks your a life saver. Just one quick question are you familiar with k3b at all? | 13:41 |
| RevSpecies116 | That is a CD burner? | 13:41 |
| RevSpecies116 | I don't use KDE programmes [loyal to GNOME ;) ] | 13:41 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, Yeah for some reason it doesn't allow me to burn audio cds? | 13:41 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, I love gnome too but heard k3b is the best program | 13:42 |
| RevSpecies116 | I use Brasero to burn my CD's - seems to do the job I want it to :) | 13:42 |
| Neohasreturned | RevSpecies116, I just thought it was strange why it didn't burn my mp3's lol I have just googled and you can configure sound-juicer to convert mp3 to 320kbps lol | 13:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | Do you have to change something in that long line of text? | 13:44 |

| RevSpecies116 | arunkumar413: I took a look at the log on pastebin you posted - I can't interpret the issue :( | 14:06 |

| petsounds | Jake7, no idea but if you're unsure use lucid. | 16:16 |
| Jurgentje | wow! that's a cool trick! | 16:16 |
| Jurgentje | it actually works! (never though it would) :) | 16:16 |
| dr_willis | i would double check the md5 sum | 16:16 |
| Jurgentje | yeah, that was my surprise... I actually had my ISO file in the same folder where torrent works... and it was ready in 2 seconds. Then I realized that I didn't remove it. It apparently just fixed it :) | 16:17 |
| dr_willis | ive seen some torrent clients be stupid and move/remove the iso first.. then start over.. :) thats why i said start it.. stop it.. copy it over. | 16:18 |

| smmsadrnezh | How to change boot page in ubuntu 10.04? | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, clarify what you mean. the term 'boot page' is a little vague | 16:29 |
| sudeep | hi all, i have an issue with sound of dell studio 15 laptop ubuntu 11.04, the sound is not working and also the videos (youtube videos) play very fast and no sound | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | leafpile, you would have to upgrade twicew , whereas if you stick with the presnt LTS , then next april you upgrade directly to the the 12.04 LTS | 16:30 |

| ZykoticK9 | jingo255, not in bios no - it's a kernel parameter actually | 16:30 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: I'm talking about the page show during ubuntu boot up | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, you mean the ubuntu ....... loading screen? | 16:31 |
| leafpile | BluesKaj: but if i install natty, i would only have to stick with 12.04 LTS (once I upgrade to it) in order to be back on the "LTS path", correct? | 16:31 |
| jingo255 | I'm not very computer savvy, what do I do with a kernal parameter? | 16:31 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: yes | 16:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | smmsadrnezh, Plymouth is what that "boot" screen is called | 16:31 |
| smmsadrnezh | dr_willis: exactly | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | smmsadrnezh, if so thats 'plymouth' there are some plymouth themes.. i just disable plymouth. i find it pointless | 16:31 |

| BluesKaj | jingo255, then ZykoticK9 adcice will work , alternate install is probly your best bet | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | advice | 16:39 |
| jingo255 | yeah | 16:39 |
| jingo255 | but it doesn't do anything when i press keys | 16:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | jingo255, press SPACEBAR when you see that | 16:39 |
| jingo255 | ok I can try | 16:40 |
| * ZykoticK9 hope it really is SPACEBAR you need to press... | 16:40 | |

| dr_willis | pareidol1a, that ma be an issue. - its supposed to use uuid. but i nioticed on this install my fstab was using /dev/sdXX entries for some reason. | 17:12 |
| pareidol1a | Grub2's configuration is REALLY difficult for someone used to classic, like me :'( | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | pareidol1a, you could set up a spare flash drive and install grub2 to that as a 'rescue' grub also. or as a test try unplugging tghe internal hd. | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | some times you just have to break down and read the grub docs.. i did it for lilo, grub, and syslinux and now grub2... | 17:14 |

| rampage73 | any one solve the internet issue with ubuntu 11.04 yet? i have tried google, disabled ipv6 went into firefox about:config and disabled ipv6 even this chat took 3 minutes to load and i am on a 50/50 internet connection which has been tested and works any help would be appreciated | 17:18 |
| seachcoz_ | ok dr_willis: unfortunately i tried to fix that but then i modified one settings in ccsm and then nothing worked again | 17:19 |
| arshadhusain | rampage73.. what kind of modem and router do u have?? | 17:19 |
| seachcoz_ | ok dr_willis: and then i tried to install kubuntu-desktop. but unity is still distroyed | 17:19 |
| seachcoz_ | d | 17:19 |
| seachcoz_ | hehe | 17:20 |
| rampage73 | arshadhusain, uh my modem is a wireless bridge and it is the router also but i have 3 other computers on my network a mac and 2 windows pcs over wifi that pull 35 mbps down and 40 up and this pc is hardlined to the router and cannot run the test it times out | 17:20 |
| dr_willis | seachcoz_, unity --reset , unity --reset-icons normally kick unity in the head. | 17:22 |
| seachcoz_ | ok dr_willis: normally i would like to use unity or gnome 2 but this is, as i already said, distroyed, so i have to use kde, xfce, lxde, fluxbox or i have to format | 17:22 |
| seachcoz_ | ah thanks | 17:22 |
| bhavesh | winecfg is a GUI? where can I open it? | 17:22 |
| dr_willis | thers some other command to reset the ccsm settings | 17:22 |
| seachcoz_ | ok | 17:22 |
| seachcoz_ | thanks | 17:22 |
| dr_willis | bhavesh, type its name in a terminal | 17:22 |
| seachcoz_ | i will try | 17:22 |
| bhavesh | k | 17:23 |
| bhavesh | Oh its the same GUI which I always use... wine configuration thingy | 17:23 |
| dr_willis | yes it is. :) | 17:24 |
| thauriswulfa | HELP: when ever I am starting pulse audio volume control it says connection terminated and quits ........ | 17:25 |
| dr_willis | seachcoz_, you could have just made a new user.. and their unity settings whould of been fine :) | 17:27 |
| cawnc4 | Hey, I am looking to further secure my data, I know you can encrypt the home folder, but how could i go about encrypting my whole drive? I searched Ubuntuforums to no avail | 17:27 |
| Osmodivs | Hello. Ok, so this program asks me for a LibBoost1.42 library, but in other program made me move some LibBoost1.43 libs to /usr/lib, so if I install LibBoost1.42 via Synaptic, is it gonna override the highest version? | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | cawnc4, perhaps check the askubuntu.com site? | 17:28 |
| Osmodivs | I get this message when trying to compile: checking for boostlib >= 1.37... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.37 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for mor | 17:28 |
| Osmodivs | e documentation. | 17:28 |
| sudokill | cawnc4, i know you cant with truecrypt on linux there are probbaly a lot of other tools that can, but is there much point of encrypting root as well? | 17:28 |
| dr_willis | Osmodivs, yoiu did install the proper -dev packages as well? | 17:29 |
| Osmodivs | Like I said, I copied LibBoost1.43 files to /usr/lib manually | 17:29 |
| sudokill | most people dont have special info there | 17:29 |
| bhavesh | I want to add Sound preferences shortcut , I went to System > KeyBoard shortcuts > Add, what should be in Command textbox? | 17:29 |
| bhavesh | what command would open sound preferences box? | 17:29 |
| cawnc4 | sudokill I would like to keep all of my info out of the hands of people that could take it, not just my documents but also what programs I have installed | 17:29 |
| cawnc4 | etc | 17:30 |
| bhavesh | I guess its gnome-volume-control right? | 17:31 |
| Osmodivs | dr_willis, I do not know if it came with dev files, It was a compiled program, so it asked me -in order to function- to move libboost files to /usr/lib the program works fine, but I want to install another program that needs boost files, but for some reason, it will not detect the ones I have there in /usr/lib | 17:31 |
| dr_willis | bhavesh, try it and see? | 17:31 |
| Cradam | how do i stop grub being in quiet mode? | 17:31 |
| bhavesh | YAY, yes it is | 17:31 |
| dr_willis | Osmodivs, if you are compiling somthing - you will need the lib boost dev packages as well.. that may or may not break the other app. that other app should perahps look elsewhere for its libs. | 17:32 |
| bhavesh | I really have lots of things to fix on my ubuntu, the gnome-panel ... some items disappear, my ubuntu freezes sometimes for few seconds (only cursor is movable) | 17:32 |
| dr_willis | !info libboost | 17:32 |
| ubottu | Package libboost does not exist in natty | 17:32 |
| sudokill | Cradam, i think you can hold shift as it boots, or set the timeout to something other than 0 in grub.cfg | 17:33 |
| sudokill | or menu.lst | 17:33 |
| Cradam | shift is just stupid when you want a different OS] | 17:33 |
| Osmodivs | !libboost | 17:33 |
| Cradam | its grub.cfg | 17:33 |
| Cradam | whereever it is | 17:33 |
| sudokill | Cradam, set the timer on it then so it shows for whatever time u want 5 seconds etc | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | if youa re dual booting - its suppose to set its self to show.. no thide | 17:33 |
| dr_willis | !grub2 | 17:34 |
| 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) | 17:34 |
| technicolor | ty all. have a good day/night. bye :) | 17:34 |
| dr_willis | its a setting in /etc/default/grub | 17:34 |
| sudokill | Cradam, shift isnt that bad lol i use the f buttons to choose what drive i want to boot off | 17:35 |
| Cradam | sudokill, thats bonkers | 17:35 |
| sudokill | @_@ | 17:35 |
| dr_willis | i got my laptop set the samwe way.. grub2 dosent need to be on my windows drive at all | 17:35 |
| Osmodivs | dr_willis, So, You don't know if libboost1.42 is gonna replace 1.43? I want to know if different versions of libs can work at the same time | 17:36 |
| sw0rdfish | hey guys is there a command to check the size of a directory? | 17:36 |
| bhavesh | why does this happen to my power button? http://i.imgur.com/Q2he3.png | 17:36 |
| Cradam | hmm the setting is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true lol | 17:36 |
| osse | sw0rdfish, 'du -s dirname' | 17:36 |
| weokoh | hi everyone, i know this is probably off topic as it should belong to #sanitarium or #ucrazybro but I would like to ask some questions about ubuntu (perhaps this involves Linux in general) and web browsing, I'm well aware i should leave the windows mindset and worry less since Linux is more secure and less prone to "you click you get owned" stuff but recently i have started to supply a web browsing service (internet point wannabe) to people that aren't t | 17:36 |
| weokoh | hat aware of scam sites viruses and so, even though its hard to get a virus on Linux could anyone suggest me some ways to make it harder for any potential threat coming from the web (please note i say web as web pages, not usb keys and all that) while using firefox? many thanks in advance to anyone who could save my lil brain from this paranoia lol | 17:36 |
| sudokill | change from true to false? | 17:37 |
| osse | sw0rdfish, you might want to add '-h' to that as well | 17:37 |
| dr_willis | Osmodivs, libs normally have a libname-#.## version thats a link to the libname-#.so so if that one app is is doing it right - it shoudl either look for the specific version of the lib it needs.. or use the newer version. | 17:37 |
| oCean | !ufw | weokoh | 17:37 |
| ubottu | weokoh: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 17:37 |
| dr_willis | Osmodivs, you can have differnt versions installed just fine.. if the apps use them correctly | 17:38 |
| sudokill | weokoh, look at apparmor | 17:38 |
| weokoh | oCean: forgive my ignorance, would ufw make web surfing with firefox safer? | 17:38 |
| Osmodivs | dr_willis, In that case, I will install libboost1.42 | 17:38 |
| weokoh | sudokill: did it, im enforcing the firefox default profile, could you give me some informations about it please? what it protects what no? on various forums i read the "default one" is not enough | 17:38 |
| dr_willis | Osmodivs, if you want to run that app that needs it.. well :) i guess you will. heh | 17:39 |
| sudokill | default one is ok | 17:39 |
| dodino_ | hi all | 17:39 |
| weokoh | sudokill: would you suggest anything else? | 17:39 |
| oCean | weokoh: firefox is not ubuntu-specific. Ask an ubuntu specific question | 17:39 |
| sudokill | weokoh, youd need to look at apparmor threads, you can restirct the program how you like e.g only let it write to your downloads folder etc etc | 17:39 |
| weokoh | oCean: in fact im asking how to harden it on ubuntu, is it still off topic? | 17:39 |
| dr_willis | worse case - firefox trashes the users home.. not the whole system. | 17:39 |
| sudokill | weokoh, what r u actually afraid of? itshould be fine even without apaprmor | 17:40 |
| dodino_ | i have installed an ubuntu alternative 11.04 32bit on a USB stick, with all partition crypted (excluding /boot of course) | 17:40 |
| dr_willis | but ive not heard of any issues with ff. | 17:40 |
| sudokill | use the usual noscript | 17:40 |
| hiexpo | hola | 17:40 |
| dodino_ | but, i can't execute the usb stick on MACOSX, only in PC | 17:40 |
| weokoh | noscript + apparmor + limited user account + no js at all (just images) but ye im still kinda scared lol | 17:40 |
| Nisstyre | yes | 17:40 |
| weokoh | sudokill: do you know what would be the worst thing that may happen using that setup? | 17:40 |
| === ben__ is now known as utlemming | ||
| dr_willis | weokoh, sounds liek 1/2 the web may not work for your setup | 17:41 |
| sudokill | weokoh, if apparmor is set up good then i doubt much could happen at all | 17:41 |
| dodino_ | anyone can help me for resolve this problem? i want a full ecnrypted ubuntu in USB stick that can boot in all platform (PCs and MAC) | 17:41 |
| sudokill | if ur really that paranoid then you could harden yur whole system, use apparmor and grsecurity whatever its overkill for desktop | 17:41 |
| dr_willis | !info bastille | 17:41 |
| ubottu | bastille (source: bastille): Security hardening tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.0.9-13 (natty), package size 457 kB, installed size 1960 kB | 17:41 |
| bt | hi. my hardware power button (asus eee 1005p) doesn't work in 11.04. xev doesn't produce a keycode for it, only this http://paste.ubuntu.com/633112/. any way to enable it? | 17:41 |
| weokoh | sudokill: what you mean by setup good? i only enforced the ubuntu profile | 17:42 |
| sudokill | weokoh, imo your being too paranoid, the fact you cant get viruses on linux is a major security bonus over windows as it is | 17:42 |
| weokoh | dr_willis: bastille sounds interesting, sadly last time i tried it (years ago) i trashed the whole system lol, might give it a try again perpahs more carefully :P | 17:42 |
| weokoh | sudokill: your opinion is shared by me too, im way too paranoid lol | 17:43 |
| sudokill | with hardened kernels your gona have to put in work, to get a usable system | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | weokoh, trashing the system,.. was its major feature. :) ive not even heard about it in years. | 17:43 |
| weokoh | dr_willis: heard of what? | 17:43 |
| sudokill | bastille... yea | 17:43 |
| sudokill | i never used that | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | weokoh, theres the old 'make the root system read only' tricks also. - | 17:43 |
| sudokill | grsecurity is the easiest imo | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | bastille did a lot of neat tricks. but you just dont hear it mentioned much these days. | 17:43 |
| dr_willis | I was suprised it was in the repos. | 17:44 |
| weokoh | sudokill: you think i would have major advantages using grsecurity? can you briefly (i dont want to flood the channel with our convo) list some of its advantages? | 17:44 |
| weokoh | dr_willis: i couldnt login anymore it would say admin restricted the access rofl | 17:44 |
| sudokill | weokoh, it depends, what do you do? just browse the web? grsecurity has a lot of features... randomization etc | 17:44 |
| sudokill | too many to list | 17:44 |
| weokoh | sudokill: just browse the web, no servers if thats the question | 17:45 |
| weokoh | well that pc does just that | 17:45 |
| weokoh | and IM probably (i never seen anyone using empathy there tho lol) | 17:45 |
| sudokill | im into security too and wouldnt say im paranoid, i just like the though of having a hard system. ur best best is to use ubuntus apparmor bult in | 17:45 |
| sudokill | its th easiest | 17:45 |
| weokoh | sudokill: what you mean "im into security" | 17:46 |
| sudokill | i like to make my comp secure | 17:46 |
| sudokill | lol | 17:46 |
| sudokill | i am no expert or anything ! | 17:46 |
| weokoh | sudokill: yeah that was a dumb question lol, i meant to ask, you do anything "more" than what you suggested? | 17:46 |
| sudokill | there are some guides, read the ubuntu security thread, read the gentoo security handbook, and use apparmor | 17:47 |
| weokoh | sudokill: i dumped windows in 2003 because of antiviruses, didnt want to think something so crappy was running with admin privileges LOL | 17:47 |
| sudokill | :) | 17:47 |
| weokoh | sudokill dr_willis: thank you very much for all the info, much much much appreciated :D | 17:48 |
| weokoh | sudokill dr_willis: next is calling the sanitarium and lock me in | 17:48 |
| sudokill | just have a read around youll find loads on google | 17:48 |
| sudokill | its too broad subject for irc | 17:48 |
| === _pale_ is now known as pale3 | ||
| weokoh | most of the hardening guides just said enable the firewall and install noscript O.o | 17:49 |
| weokoh | or install ids which isnt really what i need i hope | 17:49 |
| sudokill | sysctl settings, password settings etc | 17:49 |
| weokoh | sudokill: being a lil more paranoid than what reality offers (yet i never seen a linux user getting harmed by a website, and many claim that they go on adult ones LOL) would you say that my setup is fine for now? i may take some time to grub documentation but they ll keep using internet and go on malware filled (i suppose only for windows but the js is a cross platform threat) sites | 17:51 |
| weokoh | ops he/she left | 17:51 |
| weokoh | ok well | 17:51 |
| weokoh | thank you everyone | 17:51 |

| TheMatrix3000_ | is it possible to copy files from a nfs mount and retain the usernames | 18:00 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | instead of getting the uid's | 18:00 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | i don't want the numbers, i want the names | 18:00 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | because im moving from a local user server to a server that uses ldap | 18:00 |
| edbian | TheMatrix3000_: The numbers are what is actually stored on the files. The names are looked up (from /etc/passwd) by software. This (I'm sure) does not mean you can't use ldap | 18:04 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | i prolly have to do a chown on the new server correct | 18:05 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | because the user number id's dont match | 18:05 |
| edbian | TheMatrix3000_: Yeah probably? Now we're getting into things I don't know much about. (ldap) | 18:05 |

| eisvogel__x | 1 | 18:06 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | im going to try it | 18:07 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | yep | 18:08 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | it worked | 18:08 |
| edbian | TheMatrix3000_: yay | 18:08 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | now on the normal server it is showing the uid number | 18:08 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | and on the server that is using ldap now has his name | 18:08 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | i wish i knew how to make a script for this | 18:09 |
| edbian | TheMatrix3000_: the 'normal' server (in this case) is an LDAP client. | 18:09 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | no | 18:09 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | the normal is using file authentication | 18:09 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | the new server is using ldap authentication | 18:09 |
| TheMatrix3000_ | same usernames just different uid numbers | 18:09 |
| skegeek | any help for the file transfer problem? | 18:10 |
| Nobgul-bnc | skegeek, 1 second ill help u just need a coffee | 18:10 |
| edbian | TheMatrix3000_: You're confusing me (and maybe you). Don't call a machine a 'server' always call it a 'webserver' or 'fileserver' or whatever. Cause it being a 'server' can get confusing. The machine that is using ldap authentication is probably a 'server' in some capacity. In respect to ldap it is a client. (unless it is the ldap server?) | 18:11 |

| aguitel | dr_willis, i am trying for the natty in this pc ,i know in other distros are bugs with the kernel and my video card ,is there way to install another kernel in natty ? | 19:13 |
| gasull | wols: I think an automatic update messed it up, since before Brain Workshop was working and also VLC with GLX | 19:13 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | it said 'dd unknown' | 19:13 |
| dr_willis | aguitel, ive never bothered with any kernels except the default ones. | 19:13 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | is it really so difficult to get a simple command to repeat | 19:14 |
| trism | idrinkkkkkbeer: might help if you included details of what you were actually trying to do | 19:14 |
| wols | aguitel: there is always a way. not necessarily an easy one. | 19:14 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | ok | 19:14 |
| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, clarify the actual problem | 19:14 |
| TESTbe | i need helpß | 19:14 |
| TESTbe | can you help m,e | 19:14 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | i want to repeat this 1000 times | 19:14 |

| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: your opening bracket is already wrong you pasted here | 19:14 |
| TESTbe | i need help | 19:15 |
| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, its pointless to zero a drive out 1000 times. | 19:15 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | how many times is good | 19:15 |
| wols | aguitel: it will work fine with pretty much any kernel | 19:15 |
| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, once is enough | 19:15 |
| TESTbe | i need help | 19:15 |
| dr_willis | TESTbe, state the actual problem. | 19:15 |

| TESTbe | now i stay with UNITY !! | 19:16 |
| aguitel | wols, 2.6.38 not | 19:16 |
| sudokill | reinstall | 19:16 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | this is what i wrote: for I in {1...1000}; dd......; done | 19:16 |

| TESTbe | should i reinstall my pc ?? because lots of this environments | 19:16 |
| wols | aguitel: you are mistaken. dpkg -l |grep nvidia | 19:16 |
| sudokill | TESTbe, its quicker and easier to reinstall | 19:16 |
| dr_willis | TESTbe, why bother? selexct unity at the GDM login screen and it will use Unity | 19:16 |
| wols | gasull: why is there an nvidia glx installed? "dpkg -l |grep nvidia" | 19:16 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | wols | 19:16 |
| trism | idrinkkkkkbeer: I told you several times, you need the word 'do' following the semicolon in the for loop (also only 2 dots in the {1..1000} expansion) | 19:17 |
| sudokill | TESTbe, or do as dr_willis said if you dont mind a load of mess left behind | 19:17 |
| TESTbe | dr_willis: i removed all environments only the unity i did not remove | 19:17 |
| trism | idrinkkkkkbeer: but I agree with dr_willis, running the dd 1000 seems pointless | 19:17 |
| TESTbe | but maybe its rests on my pc | 19:17 |
| TESTbe | and he is slower | 19:17 |
| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: you use a { bracket which is wrong. but overwriting the same sector 1000 is moronic | 19:17 |
| TESTbe | UNDER windows it is | 19:17 |
| trism | wols: it is correct syntax, type: echo {1..5}; in bash | 19:18 |
| gasull | wols: I don't know: http://pastebin.com/GjR0yZDw | 19:18 |
| TESTbe | if i isntall many things it will beslower | 19:18 |
| TESTbe | if i isntall many things it will bes lower | 19:18 |

| edbian | DriverIssues: I give you the 5 minute crash course. There are two drivers, nouveau (open source) and nvidia (proprietary). However there are like 7 or 8 different version of nvidia | 19:20 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: I just installed the "nvidia glx 185" driver | 19:20 |

| dr_willis | TESTbe, i belive earlier. people mentioned that is a bug... | 19:21 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: I'm fine with proprietary ones, I just want them to work :s | 19:21 |
| TESTbe | okay | 19:21 |
| wols | aguitel: what distro are you running? | 19:21 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Additionally, if you have more than one driver installed at a time the system will likely get confused about which to use | 19:21 |
| TESTbe | i do not think so | 19:21 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Ok, so, how do I fix that | 19:21 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: 11.04 right? | 19:21 |
| aguitel | wols, debian now ,in ubuntu are notrunning | 19:21 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | and now someone is saying my brackets are wrong | 19:22 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Yes, but defaulted to GNOME because of no hardware acceleration | 19:22 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | but im doing it exactly like u guys said i should | 19:22 |
| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, paste exactgly the command you are using... | 19:22 |
| wols | aguitel: then come back when you run ubuntu again. we cannot help you when you run debian and show us debian output | 19:22 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Here are all the nvidia driver packages. Make sure only one at a time is installed on your system. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all | 19:22 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: using synaptic is probably easier | 19:22 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=62 | 19:22 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | repeated 100 times, since every1 thinks 1000 is too much | 19:22 |

| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: more than once is too much | 19:23 |
| sudokill | idrinkkkkkbeer, what are you trying to do? | 19:23 |
| wols | aguitel: dunno | 19:23 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Um... can I use the ubuntu software center | 19:23 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Also, this is off a live disk, if that matters | 19:23 |

| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, 100 times is to much. Once is enough. | 19:23 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: that makes a big difference. Have you installed Ubuntu at ll? | 19:23 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Have I installed what at 11? | 19:24 |

| edbian | ? | 19:24 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | is there any error in that, other than repeating too many times | 19:24 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: I have a dead disk, nothing to install on | 19:24 |
| edbian | idrinkkkkkbeer: Why do you want to do that so much ? | 19:24 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | the world isnt going to end if i do it 100 times | 19:24 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: I suppose I could find an old 1gig usb to install on, if that works... | 19:24 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: mmmm, this is a liveCD ? | 19:24 |
| trism | idrinkkkkkbeer: looks correct | 19:25 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: yes, this is a livecd | 19:25 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | because ebian i need that sector uncecoverable | 19:25 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | un-recoverable to forensics | 19:25 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: the USB stick is a better option. When you install / remove packages on the live CD when you reboot all the changes are lost (cause they can't be written to the CD). You can save the changes with a USB stick. | 19:25 |
| sudokill | lol | 19:25 |
| gasull | wols: I removed the packages. Still same error | 19:25 |
| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: it is when you run that command once. after that it is unrecoverable | 19:25 |

| DriverIssues | edbian: Well, is there a way to transfer to a usb drive my current running OS? | 19:26 |
| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: they could 23-30 years ago with RLL and MFM disks, but not today | 19:26 |
| dr_willis | edbian, if i recall the discussion correctly... (well it was a bit of a fight..) :) | 19:26 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | for I in {1..100 | 19:26 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | oops sorry | 19:26 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | didnt mean write it again | 19:26 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: What's the difference between your liveCD and a new iso ? (nothing?) You can use the live CD to create a usb off the image that is the live CD. | 19:27 |
| DriverIssues | idrinkkkbeer: I have a really good solution for you. take out the drive. Take off the cover. place on stove. Heat stove. Melt disk. Problem solved. | 19:27 |
| edbian | idrinkkkkkbeer: put a drill through it | 19:27 |
| dr_willis | theres secure, theres paranoid.. then theres Tin-foil-hat paranoid.... 100 times is tinfoil hat area.. | 19:27 |
| sudokill | no, scure erase it, hammer it then burn it | 19:27 |
| wols | gasull: check if libgl1-mesa-glx is installed | 19:27 |
| sudokill | then cut it up into little pieces and bury them underground 10 miles apart from each other | 19:27 |
| dr_willis | Take the HD apart. the magnets really really work well for holding papers on the fridge.. and the disks make shiny mirrors! | 19:27 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Yep, but I have already made some changes, which I'm guessing now reside in RAM | 19:27 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | does writing so many times to one sector 'damage' it physically? | 19:28 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | wear and tear i mean | 19:28 |
| sudokill | yes | 19:28 |
| wols | gasull: and if it is. also you MUST restart X | 19:28 |
| DriverIssues | idrinkkkkkkbeeer: Not enough to matter for a HDD. For an SSD, yess | 19:28 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: they do, I cannot think of an easy way to get those onto a USB (although I'm sure it's possible). It's probably not worth the effort. What all have you done? | 19:28 |
| dr_willis | theres some crituical info in that one sector? :) | 19:28 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | i wonder how many times i could run that before the hdd dies | 19:28 |
| wols | idrinkkkkkbeer: for a SSD overwriting a single sector is futile anyways due to wear leveling algorithms | 19:28 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | hopefully a million times | 19:29 |
| sudokill | idrinkkkkkbeer, with ssd secure erase can damage it if you do it like 1000 times | 19:29 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: um... lets see.... | 19:29 |
| edbian | idrinkkkkkbeer: yeah, they get worn out but 1000 writes is so insignificant. Additionally you're writing 0's when the system sees a 0 I bet it doesn't do the write. | 19:29 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | yea i hate ssd's | 19:29 |
| sudokill | idrinkkkkkbeer, with normal hdd they take a lot of wear and tear | 19:29 |
| gasull | wols: libgl1-mesa-glx is installed. I should leave it and reboot, right? | 19:29 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | probably i will run that with urandom before zero | 19:29 |
| edbian | idrinkkkkkbeer: Have you used one? They're fast! | 19:29 |
| wols | gasull: no you should restart X, not reboot | 19:29 |

| wols | DriverIssues: you can always use a sandybridge CPU with AES-NI | 19:36 |
| trism | dr_willis: that is a pretty nifty solution, although you seem to lose access to the loop index, which can be useful sometimes. will have to remember it for later though, thanks | 19:36 |
| dr_willis | trism, the comments also have a few neat tricks | 19:36 |
| whorush | edbian, it's a desktop, 880g chipset graphics and amd quad core | 19:36 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Umm, I would recommend it. Unless you wanna fix your drivers twice | 19:36 |
| DriverIssues | wols: Oh, right, that's what matters. | 19:36 |
| edbian | whorush: Is 880g integrated? or a separate card? | 19:36 |

| dr_willis | idrinkkkkkbeer, cut/paste the command in a script 1000 times.. and run the script | 19:37 |
| idrinkkkkkbeer | oh one last thing, if its working would i see the output 100 times or would it just be like a blinking cursor? | 19:37 |

| orwhatt | hi everyone, i need some help with synaptic (yup im a newbie :S) , i need some info about the "updates" tab in repositories, i see on the wiki that proposed and backport aare not (or better may not be) fully tested, now i seem to understand that only some people (mainly developers) can put stuff in the repos (please correct me if im wrong) does that mean that while they re not tested they re still somehow safe to install or that not tested means that some | 19:37 |
| orwhatt | random joe may put some nasty stuff in the repos? | 19:37 |
| aguitel | wols, ok | 19:37 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, its not likely bad stuff will be there | 19:38 |
| dr_willis | orwhatt, they are not tested to be as stable as the normal stuff.. | 19:38 |
| gasull | wols: it worked. thank you :) | 19:38 |
| whorush | edbian, 880g is the name of the chipset. they call the graphics something like integrated radeon 4250 or osmething. | 19:38 |
| DriverIssues | So I can use the very same iso that I used on the cd to put on a usb? | 19:38 |
| whorush | edbian, so you think there's a good chance it won't work, eh? | 19:38 |
| orwhatt | so that means they were put there by "trusted" (or at least well known) people? | 19:38 |
| wols | DriverIssues: yes | 19:38 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Things that are 'untested' means that not many users have used it to create bugs. it is very unlikely that malicious software is in those repos. Not anybody can submit a package to go in the repo but it is reviewed first (and open source of course) | 19:38 |
| IdleOne | orwhatt: it means that they are relatively safe to install but not tested yet, those packages may or may not break your system. | 19:39 |
| === porsche911turbo is now known as chrisjw | ||
| edbian | whorush: Yes, but that is not anything set in stone. Does the machine even have two graphics ports? | 19:39 |
| whorush | anybody else think i'm gonna have problems running two different resolutoin monitors with amd graphics integrated into the chipset? | 19:39 |
| whorush | edbian, good question, i was wondering that myself :-) | 19:39 |
| DriverIssues | edbian and wols: Crap. Do I really need a 2 gig stick? I only have a spare 1 gig | 19:39 |
| edbian | orwhatt: likely they are just bugging (and potentially very annoyingly buggy) but it's very unlikely they're malicious | 19:39 |

| coldpizza72i | whats the price at now | 19:39 |
| LibertyBeta | Can some one help with with a tablet pc issue? | 19:39 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, 2gb i think | 19:39 |
| aguitel | wols, http://paste.pocoo.org/show/420385/ | 19:40 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: It will git on 1Gb | 19:40 |
| dr_willis | whorush, ive done it with Nvidia.. but never ATI. | 19:40 |
| edbian | fit | 19:40 |
| wols | whorush: it will probably work generally but you still will probably get various problems :) provided the mobo has two vga-outs | 19:40 |
| orwhatt | do i have to expect that they may be as malicious as the normal ones? (being potentially the same person who packaged and tested them) | 19:40 |
| DriverIssues | whorush: It'll be technically possible - I did it on vista - but I'm not sure if it's that easy in ubuntu | 19:40 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, what do u mean malicious? | 19:40 |
| === Ytco92 is now known as Octy | ||
| edbian | orwhatt: There is such a low probability of malicious software in any ubuntu repo (not PPAs) | 19:41 |
| IdleOne | orwhatt: rarely do people spend months/years gaining the trust to get upload rights just so they can introduce malicious code | 19:41 |
| whorush | thanks! what if i buy a cheap video card to do it with two ports? would you prefer amd or nvidia driver-wise? | 19:41 |
| QuakeZone | Hi, I am new to this Ubuntu Linux. I am haveing an issue with the live CD, I get an error message as follows - (initramfs) stdin I/O error - mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: No such device can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs. | 19:41 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: litterally malware, if you consider it as anything that may harm my privacy / security | 19:41 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Any malicious code would quickly be noticed and removed even if someone did gain access | 19:42 |
| orwhatt | IdleOne: that makes alot of sence :) | 19:42 |
| dr_willis | whorush, i would reccomend NVIDIA over ati. | 19:42 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, no there wont be, and if there was it'd be removed very quickly and all over the web | 19:42 |
| dr_willis | whorush, and Intel over ati.. but intel dosent make stand alone cards that i know of. :) | 19:42 |
| edbian | orwhatt: I'm gonna be the bold one. There is no malicious software in the repos at all | 19:42 |
| sudokill | talked about* lol | 19:42 |
| wols | aguitel: most likely your xorg.conf is fubar | 19:42 |
| dr_willis | edbian, theres some addictive games! does that count? :) | 19:42 |
| orwhatt | edbian: bold statements are the ones that make me shut up, thank you very much :) | 19:42 |
| aguitel | wols, sorry ,what is fubar? | 19:42 |
| whorush | dr_willis, ati drivers are still that bad? i heard they got a lot better? | 19:42 |
| wols | !fubar | 19:43 |
| orwhatt | thank you very much to anyone that answered my question, much appreciated, im getting to love ubuntu there is so much documentation and people willing to help lol | 19:43 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: What does it mean to git, and I got my dad to lend me his 1tb external drive. | 19:43 |
| edbian | dr_willis: :) | 19:43 |
| dr_willis | whorush, better then what they used to be.. unless you get unlucky... | 19:43 |
| wols | aguitel: google it. it's probably against the language policy in here | 19:43 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: I meant fit | 19:43 |
| dr_willis | whorush, they will ahve to get a lot lot lot lot better.. befor i would even try ati again. | 19:43 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, it can be confusing, a bit like the "there are no viruses for linux" there's always people who say "but there has been".... irl they dont exist | 19:43 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: I think 1Tb will be enough. Just install it normall on that! :P | 19:43 |
| aguitel | wols, what you recommend | 19:43 |
| edbian | Hopefully dad doesn't mind a partition | 19:43 |
| whorush | alright, thanks then! | 19:43 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: 1 reason why i switched from os x lol | 19:43 |
| whorush | bye bye! | 19:43 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: Lol, I know. Also, I have one more issue... | 19:43 |
| wols | aguitel: basically for nvidia to load you need to load it explicitly via xorg.conf. your installation doesn't do that and hence it doesn't work | 19:44 |
| dr_willis | all the viruses for linux that ive seen.. were specific service exploits.. but i may have missed a few. :) | 19:44 |
| nit-wit | many rootkits run in multiple OS's | 19:44 |
| edbian | sudokill: orwhatt The only viruses are proof of concept (many rely on social engineering). There has never been a virus in the wild. | 19:44 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: sure? | 19:44 |
| wols | aguitel: the question is now how did your get to this point? | 19:44 |
| sudokill | edbian, thats what im saying | 19:44 |
| wols | edbian: wrong | 19:44 |
| sudokill | in real life they dont exist | 19:44 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: my processor, according to hardinfo, is only running at 1ghz | 19:44 |
| * edbian regrets starting a flame war | 19:44 | |
| edbian | DriverIssues: That is slow. What is it supposed to be? | 19:44 |
| wols | sudokill: there is linux malware out there, in the wild | 19:45 |
| edbian | wols: Can you be more specific? | 19:45 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: 2.6 I have a feeling pstates got screwed up somewhere | 19:45 |
| dr_willis | for my nvidia systems.. i dont need a xorg.conf with them using the nvidia drivers.. the xorg.conf just sets up twinview and a few other settings. | 19:45 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Mmm, I don't know anything about that. | 19:45 |
| wols | DriverIssues: speedstep or amd cool'n'quiet. it's a good thing | 19:45 |
| sudokill | wols, you can create malware yourself e.g. create a script that rm -rfs / then tell someone to run it | 19:45 |
| aguitel | wols, i use archlinux and same ussue occours (same kernel and same driver ) | 19:45 |
| DriverIssues | wols: but even when at 100% load, it's stuck there | 19:45 |
| wols | sudokill: no there have been actual epidemics with linux malware, on the internet | 19:45 |
| sudokill | up to you if you want to look at what you install... | 19:45 |
| DriverIssues | wols: this is also a desktop | 19:45 |
| edbian | wols: Can you be more specific ? | 19:46 |
| wols | DriverIssues: ALL cpus for 5-10 years have powersaving built in | 19:46 |
| edbian | wols: Are we talking about a virus here? Or just malware? | 19:46 |
| sudokill | wols, there was some on gnomelook website but that was very very rare | 19:46 |
| edbian | sudokill: wols That required the user to install it! | 19:46 |
| staff_nowa | Hello how can test fail2ban. max attempts for mail 1, but i can check password for 20 times | 19:46 |
| orwhatt | one last question, what would you think about using 2.6.21 (ubuntu kernel dont remember the release) and the iptables version of its release as hardware router? would it be good even though its outdated? | 19:46 |
| sudokill | but.... the easiest way to tell is if someone actually complains that they got malware and proves it, thats a more real life scenario | 19:47 |
| wols | edbian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Linux_vulnerability virus and worms mainly | 19:47 |
| wols | sudokill: I agree it is very very rare, but they DO exist | 19:47 |
| QuakeZone | Hi, I am haveing an issue with the live CD, I get an error message as follows - (initramfs) stdin I/O error - mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: No such device can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs. | 19:48 |
| sudokill | i hope u didnt mean vulnerability there... | 19:48 |
| wols | orwhatt: no it would be bad | 19:48 |
| edbian | wols: These are not 'in the wild' because they are not spreading from machine to machine like for exmaple stuxnet | 19:48 |
| DriverIssues | wols: Yes, but they should turn off properly when i need more power | 19:48 |
| edbian | wols: They do exist. I think we are agreeing | 19:48 |
| Pskol | b | 19:48 |
| orwhatt | wols: mind if i ask you why it would be bad? | 19:48 |
| wols | DriverIssues: yes they do. run a program that uses the CPU and you will see | 19:48 |
| edbian | just because they should be doesn't mean they are | 19:49 |
| wols | orwhatt: cause it's not made for a router at all and very outdated and by now pretty certainly prone to exploits | 19:49 |
| sudokill | ok i agree of course there has been some malicious stuff for linux, but saying they do exist sounds bad, especially if windows users hear that because its completely different | 19:49 |
| orwhatt | wols: my actual router uses 2.6.20 (although not ubuntu i386) do i have to worry? lol | 19:49 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: I suggest you install to the HDD and fix the problems you have there. It's likely some will just go away and others will replace them. It's a waste of time to fix issues that are on the live CD | 19:49 |
| ikonia | chaps, maybe the malware discussion would fit better in offtopic ? | 19:50 |
| DriverIssues | wols: I'll try with phoronix. | 19:50 |
| sudokill | sorry | 19:50 |
| DriverIssues | edbian: ok. | 19:50 |
| edbian | sudokill: that's why I say they exist as proof of concept | 19:50 |
| edbian | I'm done | 19:50 |
| edbian | sorry! :P | 19:50 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: :) | 19:50 |
| wols | orwhatt: no. cause the vendor of your router might (and should have) patched it properly. the ubuntu one is by now probably !EOL and not patched anymore. also ubuntu is a general purpose distro. router distros are differently made | 19:50 |
| orwhatt | wols: vendor is linksys and they have last patched it in march 2010, you still say i can sleep tight? | 19:51 |
| wols | orwhatt: basically, you can run ubuntu as a "hardware router", but if you have to ask about it, you really shouldn't do it | 19:51 |
| orwhatt | this is off topic sorry everyone | 19:51 |
| edbian | wols: I disagree | 19:52 |
| edbian | orwhatt: ask away | 19:52 |
| wols | orwhatt: I don't know how linksys makes their router but you can sleep better than with a ubuntu install from 2010 as a router imho | 19:52 |
| oscar | hi every one, why Ubuntu 10.10 system force pidgin "uninstallation"? | 19:52 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Just update your ubuntu router to a LTS or the newest release | 19:52 |
| orwhatt | edbian: i asked, i was asking if 2.6.21 would have been good for a hardware router, wols said no then i wondered if id be fine since my actual one uses 2.6.20 | 19:52 |
| wols | edbian: ubuntu runs about 10 times as much as it should for a router. and hence it is a bad idea to use it as one | 19:52 |
| edbian | orwhatt: That's too old. | 19:52 |
| orwhatt | edbian: i dont have one yet :P was just trying to find out how good it would be | 19:52 |
| edbian | wols: I didn't say it's the best OS for a router. If he wants to he should be allowed to ask about it. | 19:53 |
| orwhatt | edbian: my actual router's firmware or using ubuntu to build up one? | 19:53 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, cant you just use a normal router? i use an old wrt54g with tomato firmware does everything, and dont take up a load of power | 19:53 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: i have a wag320n, no custom firmwares :S | 19:53 |
| edbian | orwhatt: The actual router firmware will be easier. A real machine will give you more control and teach you something | 19:53 |
| sudokill | ah ok, routers are cheap though | 19:53 |
| trinikrono | oscar: you can still install pidgin manually | 19:53 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: sadly not here lol it costed like 150$ | 19:54 |
| edbian | orwhatt: putting custom firmware on a router is cool too | 19:54 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, 3rd party firmware is good though, iptables etc | 19:54 |
| === mikec is now known as Guest87412 | ||
| orwhatt | edbian: sorry im a lil lost now, did you say my actual router firmware (linksys updated last march 2010) is too old or using ubuntu 2.6.21 to build one would be old? | 19:54 |
| wols | orwhatt: what is the reason you want to use ubuntu for a router? just for routing alone, it can't be? | 19:54 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: i know its good but bootloader is locked | 19:54 |
| === anonymous is now known as Cerrdor | ||
| orwhatt | wols: just for routing yeah, thought i may have a better control of it if i wasnt bound to the manufacturer | 19:55 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, youd be better off looking on ebay or amazon or something for a cheap router thats compatable with 3rd party firmware | 19:55 |
| sudokill | youd save the money in power bills alone | 19:55 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Oh! I was confused before. People generally don't ever update their router firmware. Using 2.6.21 is old (needlessly! the new kernels are free too ya know) | 19:56 |
| wols | orwhatt: if you want that buy a cheap openwrt compatible router. your ubuntu router will probably cost more electricity in a year than such a dedicated small routerbox | 19:56 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Of course, for someone to attack your router they'd really have to know what they were doing. | 19:56 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: so you re somehow stating mine would not actually be good/reliable/secure? | 19:56 |
| sudokill | wols, lol u said exactly what i said | 19:56 |
| Cerrdor | so I am running Ubuntu in VM and it installed nice I ran it a few times and now my desktop is all grey and gross and not the black sleek look how can I get it back correct? I didnt change anything configuration wise | 19:56 |
| Guest87412 | when downloading and installing packages which should i use universe or multiverse | 19:56 |
| orwhatt | wols: that makes alot of sence thanks | 19:56 |
| elyawy | ubuntu on my imac has no sound , it is an imac from early 2009 20 inch and the sound doesn't work on all versions of ubuntu anybody knows a fix? | 19:56 |
| wols | orwhatt: WR1043ND is very cheap, runs openwrt | 19:57 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, if u have a router, but you cant put 3rd party f/w on it its still good (for routing) | 19:57 |
| edbian | orwhatt: There is a big difference between guessing the default password on it on executing a known exploit for router firmware | 19:57 |
| oscar | trinikrono: yes, but every time I try to upgrade ubuntu, it forces me to uninstall pidgin. | 19:57 |
| trinikrono | Guest87412: you should enable the both | 19:57 |
| trinikrono | oscar: well thats very naughty | 19:57 |
| orwhatt | edbian: the pass is good for my standars, im afraid of exploits for the firmware, being it old (and i think that unpatched open source software is worse than outdated proprietary lol) | 19:57 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, disable ssh / telnet whatever on your router and dont worry about it | 19:58 |
| wols | oscar: use aptitude to upgrade. it will tell you why it wants to remove pidgin | 19:58 |
| orwhatt | wols: ill look it up thanks | 19:58 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: any access from remote (the only being webmin) is disabled, spi and nat firewall are on | 19:58 |
| DriverIssues | bah | 19:58 |
| DriverIssues | can someone help me install ubuntu onto my external hdd | 19:59 |
| edbian | orwhatt: :) | 19:59 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Yes, what's the issue? | 19:59 |
| orwhatt | edbian: also, i havent seen yet a router + modem that supports open source firmware, and i'd like to have an all in one | 19:59 |
| DriverIssues | it says that no root filesystem is defined | 19:59 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: whats the issue ? | 19:59 |
| vasundhar | oscar: Did you select delete unused applications in aptitude settings ? that might be a possibility since when you upgrade (I assume) your counts will be lost leaving pidgin unused app | 19:59 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: where did you define it ? | 19:59 |
| DriverIssues | I'm not sure what you mean | 19:59 |
| DriverIssues | I'm on a livecd, currently using it | 19:59 |
| orwhatt | edbian: since (unless you own one) you're not supposed to know all the details about that box would you say i can sleep tight with that outdated firmware? lol (sorry if im repeatitive) | 20:00 |
| DriverIssues | clicked "install ubuntu 11.04" on the desktop | 20:00 |
| wols | orwhatt: in europe there are. fritz!box by avm. it's a phonesystem, dsl modem and router. runs linux and has free firmware available via freetz and some very select models via openwrt | 20:00 |
| DriverIssues | nvm, I'll use the simple installer | 20:00 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, id say so firmware updates normally oinly fix bugs | 20:00 |
| edbian | orwhatt: tomato and ddwrt are both open source firmware. People have suggested routers that support both of those I think. | 20:00 |
| orwhatt | wols: ill have to check amazon for that, shops dont seem to have lol | 20:00 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: you have to tell the installer where to install ubuntu (that is the root file system) where did you point it at | 20:00 |
| DriverIssues | ikonia: the hdd | 20:00 |
| wols | edbian: but they rarely come with dsl modems then | 20:00 |
| edbian | orwhatt: none (to my knowledge) come with OSS pre-installed. | 20:00 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, common ones are linksys and buffalo for 3rd party fw | 20:01 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: ok - so you defined a file system called "/" on the external hard disk ? | 20:01 |
| orwhatt | edbian: i didnt ask if you knew any with OSS i asked if you would sleep tight if you had such an old device (came out around 2008 and only had minor bug fixes) | 20:01 |
| DriverIssues | ikonia: I'm confused, what do you mean by a file system | 20:01 |
| edbian | orwhatt: Outdated router firmware? Don't worry about it. When you get a chance, log into the router and see if you can update the firmware. Usually there is a button that checks for you! | 20:01 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: sadly i picked the locked one lol pwnt | 20:01 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: you need to create a partition on the disk and assign the root (/) file system to it. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: that is what a file system is | 20:01 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: Mount the HDD first | 20:01 |
| sudokill | orwhatt, dont worry about it i use a router from 2005 just use it and stop worrying | 20:02 |
| orwhatt | edbian: i know for a fact that unless people riot because they want ipv6 linksys wont update that router :'( | 20:02 |
| DriverIssues | bah bah I gave up , ikonia and edbian, I just used the simple install wizard | 20:02 |
| oscar | vasundhar: let me see, thanks | 20:02 |
| edbian | orwhatt: My router is from 2006 | 20:02 |
| orwhatt | sudokill: thanks for the support :D | 20:02 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: yay | 20:02 |
| orwhatt | edbian: you too | 20:02 |
| vasundhar | you are welcome | 20:02 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: that's the only way to install, using the installer, so I don't know how you where doing it without the installer | 20:02 |
| orwhatt | wols: you too | 20:02 |
| edbian | orwhatt: :) | 20:02 |
| DriverIssues | ikonia: there was an option to use the "advanced partitioning utility" | 20:02 |
| edbian | DriverIssues: You have to mount that external hdd | 20:03 |
| orwhatt | thank you all for bearing with this noob much appreciated | 20:03 |
| DriverIssues | ikonia: i had wanted to not use so much space - I only wanted 100 gigs or so | 20:03 |
| ikonia | DriverIssues: ah, so you used the advanced partioning tool, not advanced installer | 20:03 |
| erbun | morning everyone! anyone here have any experience with dhcp3-server? I have tried installing it and while it created a folder in my etc folder, it was empty of everything every guide should tell me should be there? all it has is a folder named dhclient-enter-hooks.d? | 20:03 |

| martiniano | hello, can anyone tell me how to set up evolution as the default email client from the command line? | 20:03 |
| ab2tract | . | 20:03 |
| edbian | orwhatt: cool | 20:03 |
| ikonia | martiniano: just do it through the gui - it's easier | 20:03 |
| ikonia | martiniano: there is no reason to do it on the command line | 20:04 |
| orwhatt | anyways thanks everyone and have a nice day | 20:04 |
| martiniano | I can't, don't know why | 20:04 |
| martiniano | the option is disabled | 20:04 |
| ikonia | martiniano: explain ? how are you trying to do it | 20:04 |
| martiniano | so when I click on the ubuntu icon I can't see the email button | 20:04 |

| ikonia | coldpizza72i: it can take a long time, it depends what you're doing | 20:05 |
| sudokill | a slow scan can on a network other side of the world | 20:05 |
| martiniano | I installed Thunderbird to try it out and it got set up as the default | 20:05 |
| genii-around | If you told it to scan all the IP on a Class A for instance... | 20:06 |
| ikonia | martiniano: ok, so how are you trying to set evolution up as the default | 20:06 |
| martiniano | so THEN I was able to see thunderbird in the menu | 20:06 |
| sudokill | coldpizza72i, on a local network then it should b less than 30 seconds | 20:06 |
| martiniano | through the gui | 20:06 |
| coldpizza72i | whats a class a | 20:06 |
| ikonia | martiniano: which gui | 20:06 |
| coldpizza72i | genii-around: * | 20:06 |
| ikonia | coldpizza72i: that's the time you shouldn't be using nmap | 20:06 |

| martiniano | then on the internet tab there's web browser and mail reader | 20:07 |
| DriverIssues | ok, whoever was helping me about the processor frequency stuck at the lowest power state | 20:07 |
| ikonia | coldpizza72i: you're asking what a class A network is, if this is the case you shouldn't be using a tool such as nmap | 20:07 |
| martiniano | i have chromium as my default but no application selected on the mail reader option | 20:07 |
| genii-around | coldpizza72i: A class A IP range is something like all the numbers between 192.0.0.0 and 192.255.255.255 for instance | 20:07 |
| coldpizza72i | ikonia: y not | 20:07 |
| ikonia | martiniano: and you can't do it ? | 20:07 |
| martiniano | and the drop down menu us disabled | 20:07 |
| martiniano | nope | 20:07 |
| ikonia | coldpizza72i: because it requires a basic knowledge of networking to use it | 20:07 |
| ikonia | martiniano: how did you lauch the gui ? | 20:07 |
| DriverIssues | wols | 20:08 |
| martiniano | unity | 20:08 |
| coldpizza72i | genii-around: what are other clases | 20:08 |
| ikonia | martiniano: , sorry, I meant how are you luanching | 20:08 |
| martiniano | searched for preffered applications | 20:08 |
| DriverIssues | oh hey | 20:08 |
| martiniano | oh, evolution... through the messaging menu | 20:08 |
| DriverIssues | what the heck | 20:08 |
| DriverIssues | went up to 2.6 ghz... never mind | 20:08 |
| DriverIssues | I guess what I was doing wasn't stressful enough :P | 20:08 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, maybe some power saving thing | 20:08 |
| ikonia | martiniano: interesting, I don't know where that menu is within unity these days, but try to find it from within the unity interface | 20:09 |
| martiniano | I did | 20:09 |
| wols | DriverIssues: what cpu is it? | 20:09 |
| ikonia | martiniano: I'm wondering if it wasn't launched without the correct permissions | 20:09 |
| martiniano | can I post a screen shot? | 20:09 |
| wols | DriverIssues: and how did you check if it went up? | 20:09 |
| genii-around | coldpizza72i: It logically follows then that Class B is 192.0.0.0 to 192.0.255.255 and class C is 192.0.0.0 to 192.0.0.255 | 20:09 |
| DriverIssues | sudokill: It was, I was just surprised it went down so low while I was doing something mildly cpu-intesnive | 20:09 |
| ikonia | martiniano: sure | 20:09 |
| DriverIssues | wols: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+, hardinfo | 20:09 |
| martiniano | ok, gimme a second | 20:09 |
| wols | DriverIssues: use cat /proc/cpuinfo | 20:09 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, sorry i wasnt following ur posts but in the bios you should be able to turn power saving off, but now youve realised its working u should leaev it | 20:09 |
| DriverIssues | And I played runescape on max settings using software rendering as my stress test :P | 20:10 |
| ab2tract | is my ip shown | 20:10 |
| ikonia | ab2tract: yes | 20:10 |
| ikonia | ab2tract: 178.194.19.98 | 20:10 |
| edbian | ab2tract: Some ip will be shown or you wouldn't get on here. | 20:11 |
| ab2tract | shouldnt /mode ab2tract +i hide that from other users or do you have a script that negates that | 20:11 |
| edbian | ab2tract: Our messages are sent to your ip | 20:11 |
| DriverIssues | model name: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ stepping: 2 cpu MHz: 2600.000 cache size: 512 KB | 20:11 |
| ikonia | ab2tract: no, ask the guys in #freenode to explain that stuff to you | 20:11 |
| sudokill | ab2tract, you can use tor for freenode if ur paranoid or whatever | 20:11 |
| martiniano | there's the preffered application menu http://dl.dropbox.com/u/734549/preffered%20aplications.png | 20:11 |
| sudokill | lol | 20:11 |
| martiniano | hope you can see it | 20:12 |
| wols | DriverIssues: it sounds like hardinfo is wrong | 20:12 |
| wols | !info hardinfo | 20:12 |
| ubottu | hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1.1ubuntu3 (natty), package size 238 kB, installed size 680 kB | 20:12 |
| coldpizza72i | genii-around: how do you determine what class a network is that isnt yours | 20:12 |
| ab2tract | i have a healthly level of paranoia | 20:12 |
| sudokill | but we all know ur ip now | 20:12 |
| DriverIssues | wols: why would it be wrong. It displayed the same thing | 20:12 |
| ab2tract | lol | 20:12 |
| martiniano | I tried to get a screen shot of the unity dash but can't | 20:12 |
| ikonia | martiniano: I see what you mean. | 20:12 |
| ab2tract | well could be a proxy or connected through my phone | 20:12 |
| DriverIssues | wols: before stressing cpu, it was 1000 mhz, now it went up to 2600 mhz | 20:13 |
| martiniano | just imagine it without the mail option | 20:13 |
| ikonia | martiniano: how did you set thunderbird as the default ? | 20:13 |
| wols | coldpizza72i: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_C_network | 20:13 |
| martiniano | so what I was thinking was just to "force" it | 20:13 |
| ikonia | martiniano: I see you're thinking, but we need to understand what's happened before messing more | 20:13 |
| martiniano | I think it was set up that way just as I installed it | 20:13 |
| ikonia | martiniano: no, it won't do it by default like that | 20:13 |
| Ampelbein | coldpizza72i: you know that network classes are absolutely unimportant since about 20 years? | 20:14 |
| martiniano | mmm let me check, I can install it again just to check | 20:14 |
| ikonia | martiniano: is evolution actually installed ? | 20:14 |
| martiniano | yep | 20:14 |
| wols | DriverIssues: cpuinfo is what the kernel sees. and on a linux system there is no higher authority thn the kernel. and the kernel says your CPU runs at 2600MHz | 20:14 |
| DriverIssues | wols: yes, and hardinfo says the same thing. I don't understand why its wrong | 20:15 |
| wols | you said hardinfo displayed 1000MHz only | 20:15 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, the cpu downclocls to save power, just like gpus do | 20:15 |
| DriverIssues | wols: that was before a stress test | 20:15 |
| sudokill | dont worry baout it | 20:15 |
| DriverIssues | sudokill: I know I know, I just felt the downclocking was a little too aggressive and might be messed up, turned out it wasn't, problem solved | 20:16 |
| acicula | DriverIssues: you have trouble getting your proc to run at 2600Mh? | 20:16 |
| DriverIssues | acicula: Ack no, see above post | 20:16 |
| martiniano | (this is nice, first time on IRC chat, thanks for your help) | 20:16 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, its supposed to be super low clock speed otherwise no point in power saving | 20:16 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, my gpu downclocks to 50mhz when idle | 20:17 |
| sudokill | from 900 | 20:17 |
| ikonia | martiniano: just trying to figure out what could have happened to make what you've sen happen | 20:17 |
| DriverIssues | ok w/e | 20:17 |
| martiniano | yeo | 20:17 |
| martiniano | yep, it just happened automatically | 20:17 |
| martiniano | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/734549/Screenshot.png | 20:18 |
| DriverIssues | Oh, this is sort of weird. On ubuntu, sound sounds really different than on windows media player | 20:18 |
| DriverIssues | Ubuntu doesn't do any sort of sound enhancement by default, does it? | 20:18 |
| martiniano | and now I can see the "check mail" on the unity dash | 20:18 |
| ikonia | martiniano: ok - that suggests that your OS things that thunderbird is the only mail application installed | 20:19 |
| DriverIssues | Because it sounds bassier | 20:19 |
| genii-around | coldpizza72i: If you want to get an idea of how IPv4 netmasks work, maybe plug some different numbers into http://www.subnet-calculator.com/ and examine the results | 20:19 |
| ikonia | martiniano: if you select the drop down box, is there only thunderbird in the list ? | 20:19 |
| martiniano | no | 20:19 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, no it shouldnt do but the sound "engine" is different on linux | 20:19 |
| ikonia | martiniano: what else is in the list ? | 20:20 |
| lapion | got an image pastebin for me ? | 20:20 |
| martiniano | nothing else, just thunderbird | 20:20 |
| DriverIssues | sudokill: eh... well, I shouldn't complain. But how do I mute a sound source | 20:20 |
| DriverIssues | er, output | 20:20 |
| ikonia | martiniano: ok, so there answer to "is there only thundebird in the list" is "yes", no "no" | 20:20 |
| DriverIssues | Because I don't want my monitor to play anything | 20:20 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, in the soun options icon thing you should be able to select devices there, right click and choose mute i think | 20:20 |
| martiniano | sorry, don't understand the question | 20:21 |
| ikonia | martiniano: try re-installing evolution, see if that appears in the list | 20:21 |
| ikonia | martiniano: the OS believes evolution is not available as a mail app | 20:21 |
| martiniano | ok, do a reinstall on synaptic or an uninstall and reinstall cycle? | 20:22 |
| === noag is now known as netspy | ||
| martiniano | guess it's the same thing | 20:22 |
| DriverIssues | sudokill: it doesn't recognize the two devices as separate | 20:23 |
| ikonia | martiniano: a reinstall should be enough | 20:23 |
| carter_ | how do i add more disk space to my dual boot | 20:23 |
| sudokill | DriverIssues, try typing alsamixer see if u can mute it there, type m to mute | 20:23 |
| carter_ | i did not make seperate partitions just simple install via ubuntu.com for vista (sigh) | 20:23 |
| ikonia | carter_: repartition it | 20:23 |
| ikonia | carter_: so it's wubi | 20:23 |
| carter_ | yes | 20:23 |

| carter_ | apolagies for bringing this crap to the IRC haha - still learning Linux, its cool | 20:24 |
| DriverIssues | sudokiller: What is this. A gui in the terminal?! :P | 20:24 |
| sudokill | yes sort of | 20:24 |
| martiniano | thunderbird is still the only email program listed | 20:25 |
| carter_ | mickec_: you add disk space for ubuntu 11.4 from windows ? | 20:25 |
| Kreative | Or I'm looking at the code in Launchpad, could someone point me to the correct file(s) I would have to edit if there's no other easier way? | 20:25 |
| mikec_ | no you don't have partion | 20:25 |
| arucreid | czesc wam | 20:25 |
| sudokill | Kreative, what do you mean sound menu? the mixer? | 20:25 |
| Kreative | sudokill: the ubuntu sound menu applet, in the panel. | 20:26 |
| arucreid | hello everyone | 20:26 |
| sudokill | Kreative, it should work as is | 20:26 |
| Kreative | I dislike PulseAudio, and right now I'm using a simple python script with a rather boring slider. | 20:26 |
| mikec_ | carter windows treats it as a windows program | 20:26 |
| sudokill | everyone dislikes pulse | 20:27 |
| sudokill | :S | 20:27 |
| Kreative | sudokill: It does not work, unfortunately, however, I did replace PulseAudio in a rather sloppy way. | 20:27 |
| outer_space | whats an app that can securely and reliably store text notes? | 20:28 |
| Kreative | Maybe I could have just tried doing it in gstreamer-properties, oh well, I ougha try it when I get back home. | 20:28 |

| martiniano | ikonia: any idea what could be wrong? Isn't there a conf file that I could edit? | 20:34 |
| Wiesshund | kla i believe the command is shutdown and reboot is one of the available parameters for it | 20:34 |
| acicula | reboot exists as a file | 20:35 |
| acicula | in /sbin | 20:35 |
| acicula | but it might be that reboot and halt point to the same program, idunno | 20:35 |
| coz_ | Wiesshund, well,, upgrading the system is consistently inconsistent | 20:35 |
| coz_ | Wiesshund, I always recommend a clean install | 20:36 |
| acicula | ah /sbin/halt points to reboot | 20:36 |
| acicula | Wiesshund: its usually fine, just make sure you have a backup of your data | 20:36 |
| ikonia | martiniano: sorry, was just away | 20:38 |
| Wiesshund | well luckily i dont really have any data on this machine. just dont like having to reset up everything | 20:38 |
| ikonia | martiniano: there isn't a config file, it's part of the desktop, hence why I'm trying to think of what could have changed | 20:38 |
| DriverIssues | I'm back! | 20:38 |
| Wiesshund | eh if the upgrade craps out, i'll just do a fresh install | 20:39 |

| enko | how do i get rid of unity and put in kde ? | 21:10 |
| Wiesshund | install KDE | 21:11 |
| Wiesshund | You dont have to use unity | 21:11 |
| enko | can i do that with apt-get ? | 21:11 |
| yeats | !kde | enko | 21:11 |
| ubottu | enko: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 21:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | enko, kubuntu-destkop i think | 21:11 |
| Huffameg | soreau: i tried that but it tells me it's not installed and when i try to do that it can find the package.. | 21:11 |
| mneptok | enko: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop | 21:11 |
| enko | thank you guys for the quick response. | 21:11 |
| rypervenche | What can I use to take a picture of something using my webcam, aside from cheese? | 21:11 |
| soreau | Huffameg: When you run ccsm in your terminal, if it isn't installed, it should tell you what package to install | 21:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Huffameg, it's compizconfig-settings-manager | 21:12 |
| DriversFixed | soreau: Well, I'm speaking now... | 21:13 |
| enko | do you guys prefer unity > gnome or kde ? | 21:13 |
| rypervenche | enko: I like Gnome2.x but I use Xfce which is nice too. | 21:14 |
| guntbert | enko: try them out and decide for yourself | 21:14 |
| Wiesshund | depends on what i want, unity is nice for small screen netbooks etc | 21:14 |
| Wiesshund | desktop i like gnome more, but i have screen space to waste | 21:14 |
| * mneptok wonders if the "!best" factoid really needs to be repeated every 10 minutes | 21:14 | |
| DriversFixed | btw, you can lock the autohiding sidebar in unity | 21:15 |

| PythonSnake | Gnome 3 is new | 21:18 |
| yeats | zatch-x-lio: go ahead and ask your question | 21:18 |
| mikec_ | driver i could never get 2 monitors to work in ubuntu | 21:18 |
| cheako | I'm also a bit disorientated because currently nautilus is not installable, circular dependency. | 21:19 |
| DriversFixed | great, strike 1 against ubuntu for a usable os... | 21:19 |
| ikonia | cheako: do you have external repos or PPA's enabled | 21:19 |
| cheako | PythonSnake: Yes, it's not my intention to run Gnome3. | 21:19 |
| live-user | no one? | 21:19 |
| zatch-x-lio | whenever I try to run sudo checkinstall it ends up with a mkdir fail, I really have no idea what is causing it since i'm fairly new to ubuntu | 21:19 |
| cheako | ikonia: I do or did, but now I believe it's just oneiric. | 21:20 |
| ikonia | zatch-x-lio: what are you trying to build ? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | cheako: they have probably installed packages that conflict and have created the broken dependency circle | 21:20 |
| yeats | DriversFixed: that's one person's experience... if your graphics card can support dual monitors, it should be as easy as going to System -> Preferences -> Monitors and configuring there | 21:20 |
| DriversFixed | yeats: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 seems to say differently | 21:20 |
| zatch-x-lio | ikonia: i'm trying to build naev-0.5.0, it does say it needs ndata but I don't think that would have to do with the compiling would it? | 21:21 |
| PythonSnake | how to install 2 user interface same time ? | 21:21 |
| DriversFixed | yeats: oh wait, that's really old | 21:21 |
| cheako | ikonia: Sure. Though I'm looking at the output of apt-cache policy and it looks like all the offending packages came from oneiric. | 21:21 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: just install them | 21:21 |
| ikonia | zatch-x-lio: any reason not to use the version out of th erepo | 21:21 |
| ikonia | cheako: which one ? | 21:21 |
| PythonSnake | and how to switch ? | 21:21 |
| zatch-x-lio | Ikonia: because there isn't one in the repo | 21:22 |
| cheako | It's likely that nautilus needs to be 3.1x instead of 3.0x. Currently the gnome install seams to be split into two. | 21:22 |
| xxkme | hi guys. i'm currently trying to install ubuntu from a burned cd, and i got it to boot up, but it's been on the ubuntu loading screen with the dots for close to half an hour now. it's not frozen, but is this normal? i've got no problem being patient but i just want to make sure nothing's wrong, or what to do. | 21:22 |
| ikonia | zatch-x-lio: really, I thought naev was inthe repo | 21:22 |
| cheako | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/ 3.1.2... and https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/ 1:3.0.2... | 21:22 |
| zatch-x-lio | ikonia: doesn't seem to be in the 10.10 repo | 21:23 |
| DriversFixed | um... how come my lcd monitor is at 50hz | 21:23 |
| yeats | xxkme: could be a bad burn... I usually use the alternate installer so the full GUI isn't necessary | 21:23 |
| yeats | !alternate | xxkme | 21:23 |
| ubottu | xxkme: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 21:23 |
| cheako | Though nautilus is only 18min old, perhaps I jusy need todo an apt-get update. | 21:23 |

| acicula | joseircjose: you could force it to run at a lower frequency, but how hot is your laptop actually getting? | 21:42 |
| zatch-x-lio | ikonia: you said there was a way to debug, mind walking me through that? | 21:42 |
| joseircjose | My laptop reaches 90 degress sometimes, so this is very alarming. | 21:43 |
| ikonia | zatch-x-lio: you have to read the ouput of the check_install process, it normally gives you some clues | 21:43 |
| joseircjose | It averages 80 degrees, which is VERY hot and not recommended. | 21:43 |
| acicula | joseircjose: what brand do you have | 21:43 |
| joseircjose | HP | 21:43 |
| ab2tract | joseircjose: if you have the know how i had had the same problem with a sony computer and resetting the cpu heatsink solved the problem | 21:44 |
| DriversFixed | joseircjose: Do you have powersaving features on? | 21:44 |
| joseircjose | by resetting you mean replacing? | 21:44 |
| DriversFixed | ie speedstep or coolandquiet | 21:44 |
| acicula | joseircjose: you can add the cpufrequency applet to force the frequency of your cpu at a lower level | 21:44 |
| joseircjose | DriversFixed, I don't thinkk so/ | 21:44 |
| DriversFixed | resetting means to reseat: take off, reapply thermal paste, put back down | 21:44 |
| ab2tract | spot on driversfixed | 21:44 |
| acicula | joseircjose: what kind of cpu/gpu do you have? | 21:45 |
| DriversFixed | or | 21:45 |
| joseircjose | I'm not sure I'll do that right now, not least because I don't have the tools to open the laptop. | 21:45 |
| Chheap | Have u cleaned the fans? | 21:45 |
| joseircjose | acicula : Intel Core2 Duo | 21:45 |

| joseircjose | yes :) | 21:45 |
| gsp2009 | hey folks. I am trying to compile conexant drivers for a winmodem on 10.10. I get a compile error here: http://pastebin.com/CadmDGG2 I have simlinked from autoconf.h to config.h with no success. Any ideas? | 21:45 |
| joseircjose | I cleaned the fans by hoovering with a vacuum cleaner | 21:45 |
| acicula | joseircjose: can you be more specific? if the laptop it is old you could just have it serviced instead of cleaning it yourself? | 21:45 |
| Luxe | hoovering. | 21:45 |
| joseircjose | But still gets terribly hot. | 21:45 |
| Luxe | Nice adjective :3 | 21:46 |
| live-user | no one? | 21:46 |
| DriversFixed | Blegh. I know windows better. Is there a ubuntu equivalent of the "high performance" and "power saver" profiles? | 21:46 |
| joseircjose | Also I forgot to mention, the laptop turns off suddenly when I'm playing games or its really hot. | 21:46 |
| _artyhedgehog_ | Does anyone use Unity? =) | 21:46 |
| acicula | DriversFixed: eh perhaps in power-managment | 21:46 |
| joseircjose | I'd guess its a feature more than a problem. | 21:46 |
| DriversFixed | _artyhedgehog_ I do | 21:46 |

| DriversFixed | install ccsm | 21:46 |
| alruin | look off ther are proces runing grazie on the backgrond | 21:46 |
| acicula | joseircjose: thats a good indication that its overheating | 21:47 |
| joseircjose | aciculajoseircjose: you could force it to run at a lower frequency | 21:47 |
| joseircjose | Yes it's definitely overheating. | 21:47 |
| DriversFixed | joseircjose: Try poking around the bios, enable speedstep if it isn't on | 21:47 |
| === res22__ is now known as res22_ | ||
| joseircjose | How would I force it to run at a lower frequency? | 21:47 |
| DriversFixed | Also, do you have switchable graphics? | 21:47 |
| acicula | joseircjose: honestly you should get it serviced properly then, laptops these days are designed to run on the edge but it should be able to cope | 21:48 |
| joseircjose | I'm not even sure whether the CPU is getting too hot or the GPU | 21:48 |
| _artyhedgehog_ | DriversFixed, no, my applications on the panel always set to default set when I log in. Is it normal? | 21:48 |
| Chheap | joseircjose: Have u tried playing on windows ? | 21:48 |
| joseircjose | Servicing is not an option because I bought this laptop in another country. | 21:48 |
| DriversFixed | artyhedgehog, what do you mean by the applications on the panel always set to default | 21:48 |
| Chheap | joseircjose: and does it only happen with those games | 21:48 |
| joseircjose | And quakelive | 21:48 |
| Joe____ | Hello | 21:49 |
| joseircjose | I use ubuntu primarily so win7 is not an option | 21:49 |
| alruin | I bought this laptop in another country look at the 220 volt ore 300 volt some contrys are not the same | 21:49 |
| joseircjose | unless I can find a way to delete the vista in my laptop and install windows | 21:49 |
| ab2tract | joseircejose: im assuming you have nvidia x server settings isntalled you can see the temp | 21:49 |
| Joe____ | Anyone have an experience with some major display problems once upgraded to 11.04 on an older machine running Mobility Radeon X300? | 21:49 |
| Chheap | joseircjose: yes, I was just thinking if the overheating would happen in windows also. | 21:50 |
| tsaknorris | hmmm what is wrong with my wlan connection. ping is 44> ms and i have ath9k driver | 21:50 |
| joseircjose | GPU is at 70 degrees | 21:50 |
| Chheap | joseircjose: but it sounds like its just a bad connection with the heatsink and gpu/cpu | 21:50 |
| joseircjose | Maybe | 21:50 |
| joseircjose | let me check my CPU temp | 21:50 |
| bibs | ok | 21:51 |
| tsaknorris | in this same sony vaio is also windows 7 and there is almost 100/100 signal quality | 21:51 |
| bibs | could someoen please help me with a VNC issue? | 21:51 |
| joseircjose | both are at 77 degrees | 21:51 |
| joseircjose | and I'm not even playing anything | 21:51 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: how much should it be? | 21:51 |
| joseircjose | Says virtual device : 65 degrees, anyone know what virtual device means in sensors? | 21:51 |

| ledjo | hi, I've got this problem: if I don't use my notebook for some time and I don't close the lid, the screen saver starts and after ca. 5 min it freezes and I can do nothing but shut it down. I'm running xubuntu cause its older notebook and in xp which was installed prior, this did not happen. Any suggestions? | 22:11 |
| tsaknorris | Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l | 22:11 |
| tsaknorris | but ath9k just doesnt work for me :/ | 22:12 |
| uhgtt | how do i turn on the 3d effects? when i move windows they dont wave arround. my nvidia is basic but can handle 3d acceleration so why is it now working? the driver says it is nivida x but that is something to do with a server isnt it? ooh im confused | 22:12 |
| tsaknorris | can i do some kind of diagnostic stuff | 22:12 |
| acicula | ledjo: if you disable the screen saver and/or screen blanking in the power-settings does it still crash? | 22:12 |
| tsaknorris | to pinpoint the problem | 22:12 |
| acicula | and how are you powering down when it freezes, does pressing the power button show something? | 22:12 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: you can check at what speed you are connecting using ifconfig or iwconfig in a console. | 22:13 |
| ledjo | if I disable screen saver it doesn't happen of course | 22:13 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: can you put your router in b/g only mode? | 22:13 |
| tsaknorris | yeah i did it already and put the result here | 22:13 |
| tsaknorris | no i cant | 22:13 |
| Antilect | Thoughts about 11.04? | 22:13 |
| ledjo | nothing happens if I just press the button but after 5 secs | 22:13 |
| qin | tsaknorris: Visit /var/log; kern.log, syslog, messages are the usual suspects. | 22:13 |
| Antilect | I'm a new user. I heard the old ones dislike it. I think it looks awesome :) | 22:14 |
| acicula | ledjo: that is not a given for me ;). So you tested it without the screensaver and then it does not crash? | 22:14 |
| Antilect | New though. Don't know what I'm missing out on. | 22:14 |
| ledjo | acicula that's right just with screen saver | 22:15 |
| uhgtt | well have some doubts about x86 architecture and y spark not more popular. also think micro kernels prob better and mint i think wonder y never took off | 22:15 |
| uhgtt | ha. got that all from wiki. i aint that clever. :) | 22:15 |
| acicula | ledjo: ehm. id have a look in the logfiles then, syslog and dmesg are probably the most interesting | 22:15 |
| uhgtt | monolithic kernels ah they? oh forgotten. | 22:16 |
| acicula | are you using any kind of drivers for the graphics card? | 22:16 |
| ledjo | no cause there aren't any, acicula | 22:16 |
| P3rks | anyone out there? | 22:16 |
| uhgtt | well it says nvidia x but thats to do with server stuff . r u talking to me | 22:16 |
| acicula | ughtt no log files or no drivers? | 22:17 |
| uhgtt | well it says driver installed | 22:17 |
| uhgtt | but no 4d effects like wavy windows | 22:17 |
| uhgtt | 3d | 22:17 |

| dejmien666 | Hello everybody. | 22:31 |
| jll | I have to say that Linux rocks, but it sucks when it comes to messenging. pidgin is the only one that lets me in yahoo chat, but again, no voice so I can't hear anything or talk. sucks! | 22:31 |
| uhgtt | now theres one for the suggestion box. an easy app designer like for the smart phones. no need for programming skills. that would boost linux | 22:32 |
| hasenj | jll, try ubiqq.com for video/voice chat (flash) | 22:32 |
| plouffe | hasenj, I get false mount messages with my ipod as well, I just ignore them | 22:32 |
| ozyxen | uhgtt: check out: qt creator | 22:32 |

| DriversFixed | Windows Vista ran perfectly fine; Ubuntu died on its first boot from a hard drive in about 3 hours of use | 22:35 |
| julian_ | DriverFixed then close session and start again with gnome or ubuntu classic | 22:35 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: also check if your wifi accesspoint supports tweaking power levels or disabling of mixed mode | 22:35 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: haven't tried it but I have managed to solve it by connecting the phone to power supply,but with out the power supply it turns off. | 22:35 |
| DriversFixed | julian_ - how do I close session | 22:35 |
| DriversFixed | is that short for hold in power button? | 22:35 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: thank you for your time and help mate. | 22:35 |

| tsaknorris | acicula, im not sharing it ( ihave WPA key) ok | 22:36 |
| acicula | s_mahdi: do you have multiple usb ports on your laptop? | 22:36 |
| jll | lol phthonsnake, I do everyday and it costs. this is only for a few more months until we are back together, so I may just go to windows again just for that. | 22:36 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: 3 usb ports | 22:36 |
| DippieDoo | Again, how do i format my main drive to NTFS using ubuntu? :) | 22:36 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: why? | 22:36 |
| iceroot | DippieDoo: easiest way is using gparted | 22:36 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, now the mode is: managed | 22:36 |
| iceroot | !gparted | DippieDoo | 22:36 |
| ubottu | DippieDoo: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 22:36 |
| acicula | s_mahdi: try every port, sometimes only a few ports are rated for the maximum power | 22:36 |
| julian_ | DriversFixed Click right top in Off button & select close session. Then restart selecting Ubuntu classic | 22:37 |
| DippieDoo | Okay, thank you | 22:37 |
| PythonSnake | jll: use wine or virtual box :D | 22:37 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: ok | 22:37 |
| jll | how do you install live messenger using wine on Linux? | 22:37 |
| DriversFixed | julian_ that was also unresponsive | 22:37 |
| s_mahdi | acicula: I'll try it and let you know the result the next time,is it ok with you? | 22:38 |
| DriversFixed | julian_ to be perfectly honest, that was my fault, I was messing with ccsm settings, trying to make my computer prettier | 22:38 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: no by mode i meant the wifi protocol setting, like b,g or n | 22:38 |
| PythonSnake | !wine | jll | 22:38 |

| acicula | s_mahdi: thats fine, it might not work, but maybe you get lucky as it seems your problem has to do with power | 22:38 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, aaah that one. | 22:38 |
| DippieDoo | iceroot : How do i do so using gparted? It is my main drive, so i cannot unmount it. | 22:38 |

| brian_lim | hi: not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know of a mysql tutorial which shows how to install multiple, standalone instances of mysql from source which does not install a background daemon | 22:39 |
| julian_ | then erase genome files and desktop is back to original | 22:39 |
| DriversFixed | in the terminal? How do I open the terminal if the entire computer except for firefox is unresponsive | 22:39 |
| iceroot | DippieDoo: so you want to replace ubuntu? or why do you want to format the whole drive with ntfs? | 22:39 |
| julian_ | iceroot i speak spanish | 22:39 |
| ozyxen | DippieDoo: why the .. would you want to format it to ntfs? | 22:39 |
| plouffe | DippieDoo, try http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 22:39 |
| acicula | brian_lim: that sounds overly complicated | 22:39 |
| hasenj | jll, ubiqq.com works without any messenger, it generates a temp url, you share it with a friend, they open it and you can talk to them in the browser | 22:39 |

| diytto | Nobgul-bnc: Ill look | 22:59 |
| qin | diytto: Did you install ssh server? | 22:59 |
| Nobgul-bnc | ok | 22:59 |
| st3in | acicula: 2793000 2660000 2527000 2394000 2261000 2128000 1995000 1862000 1729000 159600 | 22:59 |
| diytto | qin: Maybe. Let me look | 22:59 |
| Nobgul-bnc | diytto, type whereis ssh | 22:59 |
| acicula | st3in: ok so 2.7Ghz is as high as it will go | 22:59 |
| qin | AcidRain: Well, where password are saved? | 23:00 |
| Nobgul-bnc | diytto, type whereis sshd | 23:00 |
| === pothos_ is now known as pothos | ||
| st3in | acicula: I thought of that. but I can't seems to be able to change the available frequencies | 23:00 |
| AcidRain | hmmmm.... good question | 23:00 |
| AcidRain | lol | 23:00 |
| acicula | st3in: id start by disabling dynamic frequency scaling in the bios, and then see what your processor runs at | 23:00 |
| qin | diytto: sudo service ssh status | 23:00 |
| AcidRain | qin: when i run the command manually in terminal, im actually getting the error: current password not correct | 23:01 |
| MrDeadhead | Preferences only allow me to have 1 desktop workspace. | 23:01 |
| st3in | acicula: If it any consolation I can load into windows and everything works perfect... at the OC'ed speeds | 23:01 |
| diytto | qin: Hold on, brother is on right now | 23:01 |
| AcidRain | so i believe you are right, the passwords are saved in the wrong location perhaps | 23:01 |
| jll | ok, now which version of wine to I need to install msn messenger? | 23:01 |
| Chheap | Can someone help me make ctrl + shift + alt + left /right. move the active window on another workspace on xubuntu | 23:01 |
| qin | AcidRain: What command? | 23:01 |
| Chheap | I know it does it default on ubuntu | 23:02 |
| acicula | st3in: im guessing the frequency scaling manager does not clock your cpu higher then stock speed | 23:02 |

| acicula | st3in: so if you want 4.2Ghz in ubuntu youd have to either fix that or disable speedstep | 23:02 |
| AcidRain | lol | 23:02 |
| rypervenche | jll: Use Pidgin. | 23:02 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: I dont know the command for it | 23:02 |
| dixsonhoepp | hello world | 23:02 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: Let me show you what mine looks like | 23:02 |
| Aginor | jll, empathy should be installed already | 23:02 |
| subten_tar | what is a good proxy for ubuntu? | 23:03 |
| MrDeadhead | AcidRain, Preferences only allow me to have 1 desktop workspace. | 23:03 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: i can swap workspaces with ctrl + alt + arrow but cant move the active window | 23:03 |
| jll | yes because none of the Linux versions support voice/video chats. I tried them all!! | 23:03 |
| chewyTree | Hey guys, Quick question. Anyone know if the top unity panel is customizable? same with the icons | 23:03 |
| st3in | acicula: Sounds like killing speedstep is the simple answer. I'll give it a shot. thanks for the help! | 23:03 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: Have you disabled the old one that do it? | 23:03 |
| chewyTree | and by that, i mean just resizing | 23:03 |
| salva | world tu BIEJAAA!!! | 23:03 |

| LjL | salva: what makes you think this is the place to insult? | 23:04 |
| AcidRain | non can change passwords :( | 23:04 |
| diytto | Nobgul-bnc: I got it, thanks :) | 23:04 |
| MrDeadhead | srry | 23:04 |
| Nobgul-bnc | =) | 23:04 |
| qin | AcidRain: If yes, then either location with passwords have wrong permission, of plugin itself. | 23:04 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, i solved it...my kernel was 38.8 now i have 38.10 now it works :) | 23:05 |
| AcidRain | i have done everything. only instructions was to change permissions to 4750 | 23:05 |
| chewyTree | MrDeadhead, So im assuming now, until a more stable release, you cant do it easily | 23:05 |
| jillsmitt | m4v: and...? | 23:05 |
| AcidRain | hmmm. i see what your saying. | 23:05 |
| AcidRain | i just have to locate the passwords | 23:05 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, but i have other problem. i have to now start every time ath9k module manually :/ modprobe -i ath9k | 23:05 |
| qin | AcidRain: Rather, proper docs for squirrel | 23:05 |
| LjL | jillsmitt: and, insulting is not appreciated in this channel | 23:05 |
| MrDeadhead | chewyTree, i dont know about indicators, i use comfity to customize unity panel | 23:06 |
| AcidRain | is it safe to change the permissions on stored pass files? | 23:06 |
| jillsmitt | LjL: i must leave it? | 23:06 |
| MrDeadhead | AcidRain, Preferences only allow me to have 1 desktop workspace, can you help? | 23:06 |
| subten_tar | does anyone know a good place to learn about the linux terminal | 23:06 |
| LjL | jillsmitt: uh... if you intend to insult anyone, then please do leave instead. otherwise, no. | 23:06 |
| qin | AcidRain: propably not. | 23:06 |
| chewyTree | MrDeadhead, Thanks | 23:07 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: are you installing custom kernels or moduls? | 23:07 |
| AcidRain | MrDeadhead, id check for a better gfx card, what model do you have? | 23:07 |

| MrDeadhead | powerfull | 23:07 |
| qin | subten_tar: What do you want to know? | 23:07 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, i had to install only that pre-released update.. so no nothing own or custom stuff | 23:07 |

| qin | AcidRain: What database using squirrelmail? | 23:08 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: ah ok, glad its working :) | 23:08 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, before this i tried isolate problem so i made blacklist.conf this line (but now i dont have it anymore) and still it doesnt find my ath9k :/ | 23:08 |
| tsaknorris | acicula, yeah everything works! but i want that ath9k will load by it self when i start my pc | 23:09 |
| acicula | tsaknorris: not sure what the convention for that is, but maybe adding it to /etc/modules will work? | 23:10 |
| th0r | tsaknorris: the blacklist will prevent a module from loading....put the line in /etc/modules instead | 23:11 |
| Guest16233 | hey guys. running steam over wine is really strange. it behaves slow, 'avoids' my mouse - has anyone had this? and do they know how to fix it? | 23:11 |
| zeroedout | guest, what video card do you have? | 23:11 |
| th0r | tsaknorris: if I remember right...all you need to add to that file is the name of the module....ath9k | 23:11 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: thx, but seems it doesnt work that way | 23:11 |
| tsaknorris | th0r, yeah..ok i reboot now :) | 23:12 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: Are you using Compiz? | 23:12 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: no | 23:12 |
| TeamColtra | I want to connect a device to my Ubuntu machine via the eithernet cable... and provide it access from my wireless connection (from my laptop)... is that possible? | 23:12 |
| OerHeks | !ics | 23:13 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 23:13 |
| zeroedout | guest16233: what video card are you using? | 23:13 |
| TeamColtra | in ascii thats WIFI ) ) ) LAPTOP <-> Xbox | 23:13 |
| TeamColtra | thanks OerHeks | 23:13 |
| Guest16233 | zeroedout: nvidia, geforce 260. it's the same with both the binary blob and nouveau though? | 23:13 |
| zeroedout | If it's an ati card, you SOL. If it's nvidia, make sure you're on the latest proprietary driver | 23:13 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: What is it doing when you try? | 23:14 |
| zeroedout | guest: no, nouveau will not work as good | 23:14 |
| Guest16233 | zeroedout: sure, but with the binary blob it's equally crap :P | 23:14 |
| zeroedout | guest: also try the *latest* version of wine, not what's available in the ubuntu repo | 23:14 |
| Guest16233 | zeroedout: i'll check which version i'm using :) | 23:14 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: u mean the settings or? | 23:14 |
| zeroedout | wine 1.2 may work... but the latest usually has good improvments | 23:14 |
| zeroedout | you can get the latest code from winehq.org and look in the ubuntu section for easy to install packages | 23:15 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: What happens when you try the key combination? And what key combination are you using? | 23:15 |
| zeroedout | guest: also disable any compositing, don't use unity or gnome3. use classic gnome with no effects | 23:15 |
| Chheap | rypervenche: nothing happens, and im trying the ctrl shift alt let /right | 23:15 |
| zeroedout | if you're on kde go to system settings and disable the desktop effects | 23:16 |
| === ron is now known as Guest52143 | ||
| Guest16233 | zeroedout: 11.04, using unity, which is annoying given the whole compiz dependance! | 23:16 |
| Guest16233 | i'll try classic gnome | 23:16 |
| Chheap | Should xubuntu run on compiz by default? | 23:16 |
| coz_ | Chheap, compiz should run well on xfce | 23:17 |
| Guest16233 | zeroedout: i'm using 1.3.23 | 23:17 |
| TeamColtra | OerHeks (or anyone): Would that dramtically effect my connection? Obviously any time you add a link in the chain it adds to the ping, and reduces speed... but as long as I am not running anything active on my laptop then the connection should be pretty similar? | 23:17 |
| Guest52143 | שלום | 23:17 |
| TeamColtra | (sorry thats if I share my internet connection from my laptop) | 23:17 |
| zeroedout | guest: it is almost guaranteed that unity is your problem, go to classic gnome iwth no effects for anything 3d releated (probably even movies on most systems) | 23:17 |
| AcidRain | qin: to double check, what ps mode do i use to determine what user a service is running under? | 23:17 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: I believe it does. Either check in the compiz settings using compizconfig-settings or whatever it is called., or change to metacity. | 23:17 |
| Chheap | coz_: Just did a fresh install on notebook and i cant figure howto turn it on. (worked on ubuntu) | 23:17 |
| Guest52143 | האובונטו החדש מסובך. אני אפילו לא יודע אם מפעילים את הלוח בקרה | 23:18 |
| coz_ | Chheap, ok open a terminal compiz --replace ccp & disown | 23:18 |
| coz_ | Chheap, also be sure you installed compizconfig-settings-manager | 23:19 |
| Chheap | coz_: yeah seems its not even installed. | 23:19 |
| coz_ | Chheap, ah ok | 23:20 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: Install it, because compiz is on your computer but you can't change any of the settings without that. | 23:20 |
| Wiesshund | does ccsm no longer function? | 23:22 |
| Chheap | okay its installed now | 23:22 |
| qin | AcidRain: ps u | 23:23 |
| jll | ok I'm back with another issue! I installed ubuntu 10 and the visual effect are active but I don't see the options to edit the effect or use the cube. what's up with that? | 23:24 |
| Wiesshund | ok upgraded to 11.04 none of compiz seems to actualy function? no more rotating cube etc. that normal? | 23:24 |
| coz_ | Wiesshund, well you can enable the cube in Unity,, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? | 23:25 |
| qin | AcidRain: ps -u <user> or ps aux | 23:26 |
| coz_ | Wiesshund, by default the Desktop wall is enabled not the cube | 23:26 |
| coz_ | 2 floodbots? | 23:27 |
| green91 | 3 | 23:27 |
| nellwee | why wont ubuntu allow executing file as a program from my cd rom? | 23:27 |

| Guest40483 | hi all | 23:28 |

| Guest40483 | I have a problem to upgrade my Xubuntu to the new version from the last version... nothing appened when I click on upgrade my version (french version) | 23:30 |
| rypervenche | Chheap: I don't know. I don't use Xubuntu so I can't really say. (I'm on Debian with Xfce) | 23:30 |
| Guest40483 | do you have the same problem ? | 23:30 |
| jll | it all sucks, I'm going back to windows tomorrow. I'm just in the chat now just to see if maybe there is hope. lol | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Chheap, there is a way to get compiz installed completely with a script | 23:30 |
| Guest16233 | jll: what sucks? | 23:30 |
| Guest16233 | all of it? | 23:30 |
| rypervenche | Guest40483: Tu veux de l'aide en français ? | 23:30 |
| Chheap | coz_: could it be that this happened because i used the alternative install disc | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Chheap, unlikely | 23:30 |
| Guest16233 | jll: if you want to configure compiz, install compiz config settings | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Chheap, however you may want to try the minimal install cd next time | 23:31 |
| Chheap | just wondering what else i might be missing | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Chheap, on that you can choose xubuntu,, kubuntu ..gnome and other options | 23:31 |
| Chheap | coz_: No i had to use alternative install to get the encryption lvm | 23:31 |
| === Guest16233 is now known as Will123456 | ||

| DriversFixed_ | or use multiple monitors | 23:39 |
| qin | Somelauw: You mean background? | 23:39 |
| jll | I put Linux Mint on a photographer's computer because his harddrive won't let windows install. | 23:40 |

| yeats | !fsck | jll | 23:46 |
| ubottu | jll: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:46 |
| psusi | jll, he said he was currently on windows, and you must use windows to check ntfs.. | 23:46 |
| lyczkowski | Anyone can help me? :D | 23:46 |

| Sterist | is it important to use sudo instead of gksudo when installing via terminal? | 23:47 |
| Somelauw | coz_: sorry, the complete link is: http://designerwallcoverings.com/WallpaperStore/images/Noa1125%20-%20skulls%20black%20on%20grey.png | 23:47 |

| jll | how do I drag my window over to the next desktop?? it won't let me do it or give me options in the effects. | 23:48 |
| qin | Somelauw: You could cut tile out of this, since background in gnome-terminal is treated as tile. | 23:49 |
| Will123456 | jll: tried it in the workspace switcher view? | 23:49 |
