| archie | chgroup | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: can probably clean some old kernels out and get a tonne of space back | 00:01 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, give me a minute | 00:01 |
| katmagic | If you haven't changed which groups $USER is in, running `sudo usermod -G '' $USER` will work. | 00:01 |

| mu3en | intrader, for example move /var/cache/apt/archives to the other drive and ln -s it back | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: you can also run: sudo apt-get clean to claw back a tonne of space | 00:03 |

| leeeroooy_j | ebec1983: are you on a laptop by any chance? | 00:04 |

| josh__ | ahh sure | 00:08 |
| josh__ | i was telling my bosses about it earlier today | 00:08 |
| mu3en | intrader, rather than having a separate /var or /opt or whatever partition, you just have a separate partition containing those folders and link them onto the root partition | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: you have a lot of surplus kernels which all take space | 00:08 |

| neodemi_sleep | it occurs on rtorrent, deluge, and transmission | 00:28 |
| stew | a111: that's quite an exotic bug. it certainly doesn't do that here | 00:28 |
| ubuntu12321 | robin0800: i wonder why clearlooks was shipped then | 00:28 |
| robin0800 | ubuntu12321: perhaps for classic | 00:28 |
| neodemi_sleep | i know the torrents are good because i have previously downloaded them on this machine when it was running 8.04/ext2 | 00:29 |
| neodemi_sleep | also google says nothing useful, just lots of people asking the same question with no answer yet | 00:29 |
| PythonSnake | anyone know a good torrent downloader ? | 00:29 |
| neodemi_sleep | other than "use a different partition type" | 00:30 |
| sudokill | PythonSnake, transmission | 00:30 |
| PythonSnake | is Deluge better than transmission ? | 00:30 |
| sudokill | not in my opinion | 00:31 |
| ohzie | neodemi_sleep: It's an unfortunate bug that's unfixed. "Use a different partition type" is probably the best fix anyone knows about right now. :( | 00:31 |
| ubuntu12321 | ok radiance with clearlooks window border worked. but it places the window buttons at the left, still. any way to change this configuring radiance? | 00:31 |
| sudokill | they all do the same thing just different guis basically | 00:31 |
| ohzie | neodemi_sleep: I'm still using ext2 /boot and ext3 / | 00:31 |

| PythonSnake | :3 | 00:32 |
| neodemi_sleep | i was hoping to avoid that | 00:32 |
| sudokill | PythonSnake, i use rtorrent | 00:32 |

| ohzie | Strav: It might be the one you need. | 00:38 |
| ohzie | Strav: I have personal problems with Arch. XD | 00:38 |
| Strav | ohzie: I'm not an arch advocate, but from what I read, it looks like a good way to get some cutting edge packages while maintaining a stability that's very rare in ubuntu theses days. Seems like every release is just for the fun of deprecating stuff. | 00:40 |

| Auriga | Saik, Check google translate. | 00:41 |

| Strav | sudokill: one thing, as a developper, I clearly subscribe to their mantra. | 00:41 |
| Saik | galamar: I use freetranslation.com and it provides 2 or 3 | 00:42 |
| galamar | saik, I just know google will show alternate translations if you hover your mouse above the translated section. | 00:43 |
| vlt | neodemi_sleep: Just create a new partition, format it ext3, move everything from old to new, edit fstab, done. A live cd makes it even easier. | 00:43 |
| Saik | galamar: yea, I do too, it's just a senence though | 00:43 |
| Saik | sentence* | 00:43 |
| sudokill | i know its experimental but does anyone use chromium with --use-spdy ? | 00:44 |

| ohzie | Strav: My problems with Arch are the packages being unsigned and the fact that I actually use my computer for work. I don't have time to configure gdm from scratch and go find my drivers because they don't bother to try to detect them. | 01:08 |
| ohzie | This is 2011. If ubuntu can do it, Arch should be able to do it. IMO. | 01:08 |
| ohzie | Though I do like the one arch server I have. | 01:09 |
| ohzie | bsd init is quite fancy. | 01:09 |
| sudokill | geez arch is all about configuring... to ur needs | 01:09 |
| jeff__ | hi guys.. | 01:09 |
| szal | and most of all, Arch is off-topic here ;) | 01:09 |
| ohzie | sudokill: and it fits for my server. It doesn't fit for my desktop. XD | 01:09 |
| sudokill | distros like mint are about not having to worry about any of that | 01:09 |
| szal | same for Mint | 01:10 |
| philipballew | if i am connected to the internet wirelessely. can i share my internet if i hook up a router to my laptop? | 01:11 |
| ohzie | philipballew: Yes, but it'll require a lot of manually configuring your routing. | 01:12 |
| ohzie | philipballew: Are complicated things 'fun' or 'difficult and annoying' to you? | 01:12 |
| ohzie | !routing | 01:12 |
| jeff__ | hi guys | 01:12 |
| chaddy | HI jeff__ | 01:13 |
| ohzie | philipballew: I suggest you look on the linux documentation project for 'internet connection sharing' | 01:13 |

| jeff__ | when i run pppoeconf from with my modem connected, it seems like my cable is unppluged, but i`m online... although, i cannot connect if i use an rounter (due to unpplugged issue... | 01:14 |
| jeff__ | please :/ does anybody have this issue? | 01:15 |
| jeff__ | it seems like the cable is unplugged. but it's there :/ | 01:15 |
| sudokill | what do u mean? it shows the cables disconnected or something? | 01:15 |
| sudokill | but it works? | 01:16 |
| jeff__ | it works | 01:16 |
| jeff__ | creepy | 01:16 |
| Berto | Hi - is there a way to go directly from 10.04 to 11.04? | 01:16 |
| sudokill | nothing to do with ur connection then | 01:16 |
| jeff__ | well, i'm connected right now | 01:16 |
| sudokill | maybe some network manager thing | 01:16 |
| iceroot | Berto: not a supported one | 01:16 |
| robin0800 | jeff__: you could try gnomeppp which uses wvdial | 01:16 |
| sudokill | icon or something | 01:16 |
| szal | Berto: yes, reinstall | 01:16 |
| sudokill | Berto, the update manager does it | 01:16 |
| jeff__ | well, connecting is not my problem | 01:16 |
| mscott | so i have a usb block device that i want to send and receive data from but it doesnt mount automatically im reading the mount man pages but do i want a named pipe instead? any help would be appreciated | 01:17 |
| Berto | Hmm, guess i'll stay on 10.04... not worth my time for two upgrades. double the risk of garbage happening :( | 01:17 |
| galamar | how do I wget multiple files with one command? (wget http://www.web.com/pics/4290). Idea being to grab all pics from 1-5000 in a given url? I need to know how the express ranges. | 01:17 |
| Berto | sudokill, the update manager wants to go to 10.10 first | 01:17 |
| jeff__ | here it is : i have a LG modem, and a d-link router | 01:17 |
| iceroot | Berto: never touch a running system | 01:17 |
| iceroot | Berto: there is a way to go directly to 11.04 but not with update-manager but that is not a supported way | 01:17 |
| sudokill | Berto, yea or stay on 10.10 if ur happy with it | 01:17 |
| jeff__ | i need to use the router... but since i ran pppoeconf, it doesn't reconise when i plug the cable anymore... | 01:17 |
| sudokill | unless ur dying to use unity | 01:18 |
| intrader | mu3en, the disk utility show me a partition after NTFS of 18GB (reiserfs), then an extended partition with 1.3 Swap, 8.8 GB reiserfs (not mounted), 9.0 GB mounded as /root, 6GB mounded as /home, and 4.gb as /usr | 01:18 |
| jeff__ | but if i plug again directly to my LG modem and run it, i'm surfing arround the web again | 01:18 |
| Berto | I'd like a newer version of Xorg is really what I want out of 11.04 | 01:18 |
| Berto | Maybe there's a fresher repository for 10.04? | 01:18 |
| iceroot | Berto: not an official one | 01:19 |
| sudokill | Berto, ud be bettter off reinstalling and saving ur config files | 01:19 |
| iceroot | Berto: within an ubuntu-release you will only get security updates, not major updates for packages | 01:19 |
| Berto | right. Thanks guys! | 01:19 |
| jeff__ | any ideas? | 01:20 |
| iceroot | Berto: you can have a look at the backports but i cant imaging there is a newer x-server for 10.04 | 01:20 |
| sudokill | jeff__, maybe the settings in ur router? | 01:20 |
| jeff__ | both, my notebook and my desktop | 01:20 |
| jeff__ | nope, it can't be | 01:20 |
| Berto | iceroot, yeah cool. I just have a few weird issues occasionally | 01:20 |
| iceroot | Berto: can you explain the problems with the x-server? | 01:21 |
| sudokill | Berto, they can probably be sorted | 01:21 |
| Berto | iceroot, I'd like to change my resolution from 1920x1080 to 1680x1050 on my two monitors. Nvidia driver doesn't listen | 01:21 |
| iceroot | Berto: tried with xrandr? | 01:22 |
| sudokill | Berto, is 1920 not ur native res then? | 01:22 |
| szal | Berto: unless that's a CRT, that's pretty pointless, since everything that's not the native resolution looks like cr*p on a flat screen | 01:22 |
| smw | Is it possible to use a directory of deb files as an apt-repo? | 01:22 |
| Berto | sudokill, 1920 is native. I think it's giving me headaches | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Berto: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings then set the resolutions to something, then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the resolutions in the file manually | 01:22 |
| Berto | Oh i see | 01:23 |
| iceroot | Berto: yes and why change to 1680? if 1920 is the resolution from your monitors you cant change them (without a strange result) | 01:23 |
| sudokill | Berto, anything but native will give u more headaches it will look blurry | 01:23 |
| Berto | hahhaa | 01:23 |
| Berto | ok well thanks! | 01:23 |
| surskitty | Every once in a while, the sound goes all tinny on my netbook. Restarting pulseaudio fixes it temporarily, but I'd rather it not happen. What should I do? I'm still using 10.10, btw. | 01:23 |
| iceroot | Berto: also, that is not an x-server issue | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: you can use aptoncd and make a CD based repo (or just mount the ISO). You can manually install deb files with: sudo dpkg -i * | 01:24 |
| szal | Berto: and if viewing a monitor gives you headaches, you should rather think about increasing font size and/or seeing an ophthalmologist to check your eyes | 01:24 |
| spasysheep | can anyone here help me with making my custom ISO bootable? | 01:24 |
| iceroot | szal: yes, you just have to create the packages-file for it and then it is a normal repository. you can create the packages-file with apt-ftparchive | 01:25 |
| iceroot | smw: yes, you just have to create the packages-file for it and then it is a normal repository. you can create the packages-file with apt-ftparchive | 01:25 |

| Terabyte | what are groups dialout adm cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare? | 01:27 |
| spasysheep | Hilikus: yes | 01:28 |
| minimee | is there any way to get the proprietary nvidia geforce go 7300 drivers to work? | 01:29 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: that is not the correct way | 01:30 |
| Hilikus | spasysheep, perfect, thank you | 01:30 |
| mu3en | intrader, not sure i understood the question on your layout. looks like you have 18gb reiserfs and 8gb resierfs that are not used? either way if your 6gb and 8gb /home and / partitions are full, the approach might be to mount the 8gb reiserfs (maybe foramtted to match the other filesystems) (and add it to your /etc/fstab so it mounts at startup) then copy a home folder off /home or a large folder off / to the 8gb drive, then symlink (ln -s) that | 01:30 |
| mu3en | folder where it was originally. | 01:30 |
| spasysheep | iceroot: what do you mean, 'correct way'? | 01:31 |
| deww | minimee: pretty sure it works, but i'm not using the latest version of ubuntu. stil on 10.10 | 01:31 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: i am looking at my script to build custom-cds and there is a lot more then just mkisofs | 01:31 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: apt-ftparchive, grub-stuff and so on | 01:31 |
| minimee | deww | 01:31 |
| minimee | deww excellent | 01:31 |
| spasysheep | Hilikus: you should be able to use dd to turn the ISOs into partitions on the disk, then install grub | 01:31 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: best way is to use the link from ubottu about remastering | 01:31 |
| minimee | deww is there a way to downgrade? | 01:31 |
| minimee | i have 11.04 | 01:32 |
| iceroot | minimee: no | 01:32 |
| Hilikus | spasysheep, just dd the iso? no mounting or extracting or anything?? | 01:32 |
| iceroot | minimee: if you mean to downgrade to a lower ubuntu-version like 10.10 | 01:32 |
| minimee | yes i do | 01:32 |
| minimee | that's what i mena | 01:32 |
| minimee | mean | 01:32 |
| iceroot | minimee: not possible | 01:32 |
| deww | man that's a good thing i didn't upgrade. just reearching that issue | 01:32 |
| spasysheep | iceroot: I did a very minimal edit of an existing livecd, and everything I've read tells me that I should be able to mkisofs it into an ISO again, but I can't get the syntax right because I don't understand how livecds work | 01:33 |
| minimee | deww yeah its really a mess | 01:33 |
| spasysheep | Hilikus: I think so, but don't blame me if you accidentally all your data | 01:33 |
| intrader | mu3en, I don'y quite understand the linking part, please explain | 01:33 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: ah ok so you are remastering an existing iso instead of building a complete new cd | 01:33 |
| spasysheep | iceroot: yes | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: you will need t clean reinstall | 01:33 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: as i said, use the link from ubottu, its exactly what you are trying to do | 01:33 |
| yokobr | guys... it's not my router... when i plug on my brother's notebook it works... | 01:33 |
| minimee | ActionParsnip: is that the only way to get it to work with the geforcego7300? | 01:34 |
| yokobr | my ubuntu just stopped from seeing that my network cable is plugged | 01:34 |
| spasysheep | iceroot: I know, but the command syntax it gives is not quite right for me, and I need help figuring it out | 01:34 |
| iceroot | spasysheep: use pastebin to show what you tried and what the errors are | 01:34 |
| spasysheep | iceroot: ok, hang on. basically, I don't think I'm pointing it at the .img file for booting properly | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: if you install nvidia-current it will work | 01:35 |
| minimee | ActionParsnip: that does not work. | 01:36 |
| szal | minimee: define "does not work" | 01:36 |
| minimee | the driver doesnt work. it goes back to generic | 01:37 |
| mu3en | intrader, a symlinked folder or file is like a marker that points to a file or folder that is actually somewhere else | 01:37 |
| szal | minimee: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig - then reboot | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: can you expand on that. Simply saying "It doesn't work" helps nobody, most of all you | 01:37 |
| minimee | ActionParsnip: i DID expand on it | 01:38 |
| minimee | it wont function defaults back to the generic driver | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: keeping stuff on one line makes things clearer | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: use nvidia-xconfig to generate an xorg.conf file, it should make the driver load | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | minimee: if not then you can run: less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and read the x server log to see what's going on | 01:39 |
| minimee | ActionParsnip: is there a site that describes how to do it? | 01:39 |
| minimee | ActionParsnip: take a look at my forum post. one second... | 01:39 |
| szal | minimee: how to do what? | 01:39 |

| spasysheep | iceroot: pastebin.com/CZ6xkLx the iso I'm remastering is an arch ISO, but noone on the arch cahnnel could help me so I came here. that command outputs an ISO fine, but it's not bootable | 01:43 |
| szal | OerHeks: the 173 is only for FX | 01:43 |
| OerHeks | minimee, i changed it in classic | 01:43 |

| minimee | szal it says it's unable to locate that file | 01:44 |
| OerHeks | szal only fx, no go ? | 01:44 |

| minimee | OerHeks: i'ver tried classic. compiz doesnt work and flash videos are still choppy and flicker | 01:45 |
| mu3en | cpgo, if it's a fat32 partition, it cannot actually have permissions, you have to set those when you mount the drive, it is documented with examples in the ubuntu community documentation. | 01:46 |
| OerHeks | minimee that is due to the current driver, i guess | 01:46 |
| cpgo | mu3en, ntfs | 01:46 |
| minimee | OerHeks: i even tried the old driver (173) | 01:46 |

| mu3en | cpgo, i don't know for ntfs so it would be dangerous for me to say. i assume that you need some kind of gid uid in that command (but i think that's in the community docs too) | 01:48 |
| minimee | szal: should i activate the driver first (nvidia-current) | 01:48 |
| sje46 | please tell me how to mount a filesystem so I dn't need root to access it? | 01:48 |

| cyperbg | hi guys, is there a complete backup facility in Ubuntu 11.04. Something similar to Norton Ghost or Acronis TrueImage | 01:48 |
| spasysheep | cyperbg: dd | 01:48 |
| cyperbg | I want to make a mirror copy of my entire disk and save it on a USB flash drive | 01:48 |
| Jeruvy | !backup | cyperbg | 01:49 |
| ubottu | cyperbg: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 01:49 |
| mu3en | okay intrader, is /dev/sda7 the empty partition? | 01:49 |
| cyperbg | can you recommend the most user friendly, suitable for a linux newbie | 01:49 |
| spasysheep | cyperbg: dd is the simplest way if you just want to create a perfect 1:1 image, but it is also dangerous | 01:49 |
| spasysheep | cyperbg: I don't know about the others | 01:50 |
| cyperbg | spasysheep why is it dangerous? | 01:50 |
| maco | cyperbg: because one of the meanings of DD is Disk Destroyer | 01:50 |
| === user__ is now known as DMBoyCloud | ||
| andregabriel | I have a drive (G: at windows) called HD NOVO (/media/HD\ NOVO at Ubuntu). The problem is that everytime I reboot my links to this media on ubuntu are lost. Then I have to go to the ubuntu explorer and click on the computer icon then double click on the hard drive. Only by doing this Ubuntu recognizes this hard drive (I have to it every reboot). What can I do? | 01:50 |
| spasysheep | cyperbg: dd directly accesses the disk, and if you get the command wrong you can accidentally obliterate your data | 01:50 |
| maco | cyperbg: its very easy to screw up such that you write the blank backup drive over the drive you were intendng to backup | 01:50 |
| mu3en | cyperbg - get the command wrong and bye bye everything... | 01:50 |
| sqiush102 | cyperbg: I used clonezilla to make an image | 01:51 |

| Jeruvy | cyperbg: with great power comes great responsibility :) | 01:51 |
| andregabriel | any help? | 01:51 |

| cyperbg | maco, wow so many, it's even harder to know which one to choose | 01:52 |
| maco | cyperbg: well, the s in sbackup is "simple" so thats why i named that one | 01:52 |
| maco | cyperbg: but yes, there are like 20 tools at least for this | 01:52 |
| crazybrain | How to configure resolution of monitor to 1280*768 and i am using intel 945g | 01:53 |
| mu3en | intrader, so what you need is to choose a partition with lots of empty space and make sure you're mounting it permanently using /etc/fstab | 01:53 |
| maco | !resolution | crazybrain see the wiki page linked | 01:53 |
| ubottu | crazybrain see the wiki page linked: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 01:53 |
| cyperbg | maco I see sbackup in included in my installation, so I will have a look at it | 01:53 |
| mu3en | intrader, seems like you said there was an unmounted (and maybe empty) partition that you could use? | 01:53 |

| Hilikus | hey guys. is it possible to "burn" several cd ISOs into a hard drive and create a menu a la grub that asks me which one to boot from? | 01:56 |
| Terabyte | specifically the 2nd black box that moves it to cron | 01:56 |
| aeon-ltd | Hilikus: probably but why it seems kinda useless | 01:57 |
| spoon456gh | irc://chat.freenode.net/cad | 01:57 |
| Hilikus | aeon-ltd, do you know how? | 01:57 |
| mu3en | intrader: so, assuming you can format a nice partition into whatever you want (ext4), you then add it to your /etc/fstab (with a mount point such as /media/bigdisk), then you copy one or more folders that are taking up space on the other drives. if you are sure those are copied properly, you can then delete the original folders and create a symlink in the same place that points to the folders on the new partition. | 01:58 |
| Hilikus | aeon-ltd, i know it is technically possible, but i don't know what its called tosearch for it | 01:58 |
| aeon-ltd | Hilikus: why? | 01:58 |
| jeff__ | well, if anybody knows why my ubuntu doesn't reconize eth cable anymore, let me know :( | 01:58 |
| crazybrain | ubottu: the command you told giving an error warning: output VGA1 not found; ignoring | 01:58 |
| ubottu | crazybrain: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:58 |
| andregabriel | tks spasysheep and ubottu, my drive is mounted right now (as I have entered the ubuntu browser), how can I check the mounted command so I only copy & paste to the /etc/fstab ? | 01:59 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: just run mount with no arguments will give you a list of currently mounted systems | 01:59 |
| monokrome | Does anyone know how to import music from iPhone? | 02:00 |
| mu3en | intrader: so for example, you copy the folder /var/cache/apt/archives to /media/bigdisk then you delete /var/cache/apt/archives and then finally you go to /var/cache/apt/ and issue the command 'sudo ln -s /media/bigdisk/archives' this way the folder appears to be in /var/cache/apt/ but is actually in /media/bigdisk | 02:00 |
| szal | OerHeks: the 173 has, according to its supported hw list, no support for GeForce Go cards, though it will run on up to GF9 and even some newer models | 02:00 |
| spasysheep | monokrome: there's a ritual. you'll need 5 red candles and a toad | 02:00 |
| OerHeks | thnx szal | 02:00 |
| andregabriel | tks spaysysheep, I got this line for the device: /dev/sdc5 on /media/HD NOVO type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) can I just copy and paste everything to the last line at /etc/fstab ? | 02:01 |
| weefee | any way I can jam my wifi drivers into an ubuntu server iso? | 02:01 |
| spasysheep | umm, not quite | 02:01 |
| mu3en | intrader, and you can do this with any large folders except those that are really necessary to boot i think. that way you free more space on / or on /home partitions by moving the data somewhere else. make sense? | 02:01 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: what file system is the HDD formatted with? | 02:02 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest68082 | ||
| intrader | mu3en, I will copy your instrucciones and follow. Thanks so much. | 02:02 |
| andregabriel | I don't know how to answer you that question. Should I run a command for you ? | 02:02 |
| === Guest68082 is now known as macfiree | ||
| mu3en | weefee, there's a fair number of tutorials on creating custom ubuntu discs, you could load them up with whatever you feel like | 02:03 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: Umm, I can't remember how you check the file system of a drive | 02:03 |
| solayagim | hello guys | 02:03 |
| mu3en | intrader, sure, but please be careful to understand where you are moving data to. and that you're not deleting anything important. and i hope i don't have to say make sure you have backups anyway! | 02:04 |
| mu3en | intrader, if you are not sure you can find out more about symlinking and the ln command. man ln can be helpful. | 02:04 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: ok, I've worked it out. the next thing I say will be the line you need to add to /etc/fstab | 02:04 |
| andregabriel | tks spasysheep I will take a look here then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html if I can't find the answer I'll come back :) tk you! | 02:05 |
| mu3en | intrader, and the link andregabriel just gave for fstab will help you make sure the new partition is mounted via fstab if ever | 02:06 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: /dev/sdc5 /media/HD\ NOVO ntfs-3g rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions 0 0 | 02:06 |
| martian | I installed ubuntu desktop on a system that I have since decided to dedicate as a small server; is there a way to just remove all GUI components to leave the system akin to ubuntu server? | 02:07 |
| andregabriel | tks spasysheep I'll try that line and see what happens at my next reboot! thank you! | 02:09 |
| andregabriel | very much! | 02:10 |
| spasysheep | andregabriel: no problem | 02:10 |
| mu3en | martian: if you look on the left of this page you will see some "getting back to pure gnome" and so on http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php probably those command could be edited to remove all the gnome or kde or whatever components | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | martian: remove the xorg package and it will strip out all the gui stuffs | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | martian: you can use server apps on the desktop without any issue | 02:12 |
| weefee | are there any core differences between desktop and server? | 02:12 |
| edbian | weefee: The server does not have a GUI, that is the biggest difference. | 02:13 |
| msav | is there a way to stop 11.04 from installing unity? I don't care much for the new interface | 02:13 |
| bazhang | weefee, the gui | 02:13 |
| bazhang | msav, no, just use classic | 02:13 |
| bazhang | !classic | msav | 02:13 |
| ubottu | msav: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 02:13 |
| intrader | mu3en, always something goes wrong. In pasting from xchat to a new tomboy note, the tomboy notes is hung up. I have to reboot. Thanks for help | 02:14 |
| mu3en | pleasure intrader. hope you work it out | 02:15 |
| msav | thank you bazhang | 02:15 |
| spasysheep | does anyone here know the syntax of mkisofs well? | 02:15 |
| martian | ActionParsnip: Ahh of course, pull the weeds up by the root :) | 02:15 |
| mu3en | ActionParsnip. wow, do the dependencies for gnome.gtk all get zapped by removing xorg? that's an awesome approach if so, could have saved me a bunch a time more than once! | 02:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, what are you trying to do? | 02:17 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: I extracted a livecd ISO, edited a file, and now I want to rebuilt the files into a bootable ISO. The command I have makes an ISO, but it's not bootable | 02:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, perhaps try something like "mkisofs -o image.iso -b images/boot.img -c boot.cat -R -J -T /my/file/tree" | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | mu3en: yes as they are xorg based, so pull out xorg and yell Jenga! | 02:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, i've never used it to create bootable images before sorry, the above is just in my ISO notes. | 02:19 |
| spasysheep | ZycoticK9: what does the -c do? | 02:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab > spasysheep | 02:20 |
| ubottu | spasysheep, please see my private message | 02:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, i'm really not sure - i'm still working on installing it ;) | 02:20 |
| mu3en | ActionParsnip, beautiful, so in fact all that extra is unnecessary: something like 'apt-get remove xorg | apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' would switch you almost perfectly from gnome to kde (or vice-versa of course! | 02:21 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: I typed Zyc and was wondering why tab-complete wasn't working >.< | 02:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, thus, i have no man page - it's like i'm blind | 02:21 |
| afaty | Hello | 02:21 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkisofs | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mu3en: well you'd need to reboot to unload the ap as its still in RAM | 02:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, what did you install to get mkisofs? | 02:22 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: I don't know, when I started trying to do this it was already there. try iso-tools or something? | 02:22 |
| afaty | When I use evince opened the pdf file in gnome-terminal, the terminal putout "** (evince:9077): WARNING **: Unable to register window with path '/com/canonical/menu/5A00004': Timeout was reached". Anyone know that why? | 02:22 |
| mu3en | ActionParsnip, but hell, it's a lot cleaner than the alternative i suggested (and used in the past more than once)! | 02:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, i was surprise it's not in dvd+rw-tools | 02:23 |
| mu3en | ActionParsnip: Jenga indeed! thanks for that. | 02:23 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: packages.ubuntu.org says it's in genisoimage | 02:23 |
| weefee | I have ubuntu desktop installed on a small hard drive, there is also a 5 disk softraid array, if I replace the small drive (not part of the array) and put a fresh copy of ubuntu on it, will it detect the raid? | 02:23 |
| weefee | if ont, is there any way I can back up some settings to restore it just in case | 02:24 |
| weefee | if not* | 02:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, i already have that installed - sorry i can't help sorry. | 02:24 |
| robin0800 | weefee: think you need the alternate cd for raid | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mu3en: could make a VM and try it, see what happens | 02:25 |
| sarkis | hey guys is it a bad idea to install the nvidia drivers? | 02:25 |
| spasysheep | ZykoticK9: damn :( | 02:25 |
| weefee | is there any chance of the installation destroying the raid if I don't tell it to mess with those drives? | 02:25 |
| smw | how can I do a partial disto upgrade from the commandline? | 02:25 |
| sudokill | sarkis no | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sarkis: if you want them then install them | 02:25 |
| sarkis | sorry | 02:25 |
| sarkis | i meant from the nvidia site | 02:25 |
| sudokill | yes | 02:26 |
| sarkis | i downloaded the shell script that installs it | 02:26 |
| sudokill | its a bad idea | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | sarkis: why bother the drivers are in the repos | 02:26 |
| sarkis | k | 02:26 |
| sarkis | ActionParsnip: i dont think so.. the ones in the ubuntu repos are outdated :/ | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nvidia-current | sarkis | 02:26 |
| ubottu | sarkis: nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 (natty), package size 27828 kB, installed size 81488 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 02:26 |
| sudokill | sarkis, they work though | 02:26 |
| sarkis | my GeForce GT 420 | 02:27 |
| sarkis | seems that was added in the newer drivers that are only on the nvidia site? | 02:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | spasysheep, mystery solved - Debian uses genisoimage instead. Sorry I'm REALLY no help to you - good luck! | 02:27 |
| sudokill | sarkis, unless u need them for anything specific the standard drivers have less problems imo | 02:27 |
| mu3en | ActionParsnip: got an old server with an unused ubuntu/gnome install on a separate drive, so i'll just give it a go for real tomorrow! for now, i'm out...but a little wiser! | 02:28 |
| sarkis | need it for games.. | 02:28 |
| sarkis | i guess i should wait | 02:28 |
| sudokill | nah install the ubuntu ones | 02:28 |
| sarkis | the current ones on ubuntu will catch up | 02:28 |
| sudokill | newer ones wont make anything faster i doubt | 02:28 |
| weefee | would there be any harm in using the server install cd then installing mdadm later, would it pick up the softraid that was created on another installation? | 02:28 |
| spasysheep | sarkis: i've always found installing the drivers through the 3rd party drivers app thing works fine | 02:28 |
| sarkis | sudokill: i installed the ones from ubuntu and i have a message in my additional drivers... it says it's installed but not being used? | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sarkis: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/27 shows how to get the 275 nvidia driver | 02:29 |
| sarkis | i cant do anything but remove | 02:29 |
| szal | sudokill: the 275 fixes a bug that has been on status 'undecided' for 2 months in Launchpad | 02:29 |
| sudokill | ok | 02:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | sarkis, if your driver ARE working - ignore the message in additional drivers. That's IF they are working. | 02:30 |
| sudokill | sarkis, have u rebooted ? | 02:30 |
| sudokill | stupid question | 02:30 |
| sarkis | yes | 02:31 |
| sarkis | ZykoticK9: i cant know for sure if they are working? | 02:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | sarkis, open nvidia-settings it will tell you | 02:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | sarkis, i have some more complicated methods to know if the kernel is using the driver or not, but nvidia-settings is MUCH easier | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sarkis: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig then restart X | 02:32 |

| sudokill | glxgears dont really tel u ... | 02:32 |
| sudokill | lol | 02:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | sarkis, glxgears is a terrible non-benchmark - but with that FPS i'd say they are working! | 02:33 |
| jc319 | Hi, I just did a default installation of lastest Ubuntu and everything works fine, I just want to copy current X11 config file, where can I find it? locate xorg.conf does not return anything and I can't seem to find it under /etc/X | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sarkis: glxgears is a poor test | 02:33 |

| Newman_ | How would I go transfering all my files and configurations from one laptop to another. Both have the same type of hardware more or less. They have the same onboard graphics card, same processor (i3) and same architecture (x86_64), not sure about the wireless card though | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Newman_: backup the hidden files in $HOME | 02:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, +1 | 02:35 |
| Newman_ | and what about my applications ActionParsnip | 02:35 |
| sarkis | sudokill: direct rendering: Yes | 02:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | !clone | Newman_ | 02:35 |
| sarkis | thats what it says | 02:35 |
| ubottu | Newman_: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:35 |
| Newman_ | and repo's i've installed | 02:35 |
| sudokill | sarkis, looks like ur using nvidia | 02:35 |
| sarkis | cool | 02:35 |
| sarkis | just a technicality then | 02:36 |
| sarkis | thanks gys | 02:36 |
| Newman_ | hmm | 02:36 |
| Newman_ | now what about the repositories i'm synced with | 02:36 |
| Newman_ | i have a few github repos i have synced on my machine | 02:36 |
| sudokill | Newman_, basically if u back up home ud have to reinstall ur programs but ud keep ur settings | 02:36 |
| jc319 | On a default install where is X11 configuration file? | 02:36 |
| Newman_ | will that carry over when i copy my home directory | 02:36 |
| Newman_ | hmm | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jc319: udev is used but you CAN use: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | Newman_, if you added PPAs/Repos you should probably manually add those to the new machine before trying the above !clone steps | 02:37 |
| Newman_ | ok | 02:37 |
| rogeriocam31415 | Can anyone help me? | 02:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | !ask > rogeriocam31415 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | rogeriocam31415, please see my private message | 02:37 |
| Newman_ | so it's just a matter of copying the contents of my home directory, adding my ubuntu/canonical repos/ and installing all packages | 02:37 |
| jc319 | ActionParsnip: I just want to dump/export current config, how can I do that? | 02:38 |
| sudokill | newman yea | 02:38 |
| Newman_ | will this carry over themes | 02:38 |
| Newman_ | my issue though is with android repos i have synced and android kernel repos | 02:38 |
| bkalinga1 | Facing problem while booting Ubuntu10.04 kernel panic - not syncinc : VFS : Unable to mounr root fs on unknown-block (2,0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32 | 02:38 |
| Newman_ | doesn't some symlink go on between that and the github repo | 02:38 |
| bkalinga1 | any clue to it | 02:38 |
| Newman_ | copying it would cause errors or no? | 02:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Newman_, if you want an extra step you could move /var/cache/apt/archive/*.deb to the new machine as well - saves downloading | 02:38 |
| sudokill | Newman_, what i usually do is write everything down, by hand, on a notepad, then do a clean install | 02:39 |
| rogeriocam31415 | what is the best compiler for python? | 02:39 |
| sudokill | backup any config files | 02:39 |
| mrdeb | how long is 1004 gonna be supported and is it worht to install it now | 02:39 |
| Newman_ | ZykoticK9: good idea | 02:39 |
| Newman_ | give me a sec guys i'm gonna write these all down in an email | 02:39 |
| Newman_ | i'd rather get this right the first time | 02:39 |
| Newman_ | i've took a lot of time setting up my dev laptop | 02:40 |
| Newman_ | i hate having to re do things | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jc319: copy the hiodden folders in home as that is where user settings are kept | 02:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | mrdeb, 10.04 is LTS so supported for 3 years on desktop - so until 2013 | 02:40 |
| rogeriocam31415 | can i use the GCC compiler for python files? | 02:40 |
| mrdeb | ZykoticK9: until wha month | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: Natty support dies 1 day after Hardy desktop support dies | 02:40 |
| sudokill | rogeriocam31415, yes | 02:40 |
| szal | !10.04 | 02:40 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 02:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | mrdeb, not sure... | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 02:40 |
| mrdeb | is it april | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | rogeriocam31415: no, its python, not c | 02:41 |
| mrdeb | please tlel me if i shuld install lts | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: check the link, it tells you | 02:41 |
| Newman_ | so sudokill what should my steps be do you suggest | 02:41 |
| bkalinga1 | mrdeb:i have 11.04 but for MeeGo project related activity i need this 1004 | 02:41 |
| szal | ActionParsnip: hasn't Hardy desktop support already died? | 02:41 |
| Newman_ | and is there any particular order to restoring these? | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: I'd install natty, the release dies at the same time | 02:41 |
| mrdeb | bkalinga1: 32 bit? | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: 8.04 yes desktop is dead, server is still going | 02:41 |
| cane99 | I need to reset my password in freenode can anyone help? | 02:42 |
| bkalinga1 | yes | 02:42 |
| rogeriocam31415 | anyone know a good book for python studies? | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | cane99: ask in #freenode | 02:42 |
| sudokill | Newman_, its up to you, id back up any config files / important files and clean install and write stuff down you need to remember to do / add in the new install | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | rogeriocam31415: the guys in #python may know some stuff :) | 02:42 |
| bkalinga1 | mrdeb:actually after installing it was not listed in grub list | 02:42 |
| cane99 | bkalinga1: what do I kneed to do. | 02:42 |
| Newman_ | i have bunch of compiz settings too | 02:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | cane99, you might want to try #freenode channel | 02:43 |
| bkalinga1 | so i booted in 1104 | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | i'm guessing they are stored in the .compiz hidden folder at home | 02:43 |
| bkalinga1 | then do a grub-update | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | so all the home directory with hidden files should suffice | 02:43 |
| sudokill | im not sure about compiz | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | ah | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | and themese | 02:43 |
| cane99 | ZykoticK9: thanks | 02:43 |
| bkalinga1 | then 1004 shown in the grub list | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | *themes | 02:43 |
| sudokill | Newman_, yea ur home dir stores ll ur user settings | 02:43 |
| Newman_ | they are in a diferent area? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Newman_: sure, there are more files in $HOME/.config too | 02:43 |
| sudokill | Newman_, but u might have some root settings idk | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | right that i know ActionParsnip | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | root settigns? | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | i don't believe i do | 02:44 |
| sudokill | ok | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | i do have some paths exported in .bashrc | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | but that's in HOME | 02:44 |
| Newman_ | so no worries with that | 02:44 |
| sudokill | just backup ur home | 02:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | Newman_, have you made any changes to /etc files? If so, you might want to back those up as well. | 02:44 |
| jc319 | ActionParsnip: I can't seem to find X11 settings in ~/.*. Do you know where is the resolution setting 'stored'? | 02:44 |
| sudokill | entre home | 02:44 |
| bkalinga1 | but when choosing that it shows Ubuntu10.04 kernel panic - not syncinc : VFS : Unable to mounr root fs on unknown-block (2,0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32 | 02:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | jc319, it's done automajically now. What are you trying to do exactly? | 02:45 |
| cyperbg | guys, I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 with just one video card connected to the system, but plan on adding 3 more - can that lead to a crash? | 02:45 |
| sudokill | Newman_, u must have used sudo to change some settings sometime? its hard to back it all up randomly | 02:45 |
| Newman_ | ZykoticK9: i guess what my real question should have been is what can i copy over to another computer with out having to worry about if hardware is the same | 02:45 |
| sudokill | home will do most of ur settings tho | 02:45 |
| Newman_ | my main issue is having the parition become unbootable | 02:45 |
| sudokill | ? | 02:45 |

| cyperbg | guys, I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 with just one video card connected to the system, but plan on adding 3 more - can that lead to a crash? | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | jc319: the display is probed and detected at boot and setup | 02:47 |
| Newman_ | i'm going to do that | 02:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, really, do you know where? | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | cyperbg: should be fine | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: where what? | 02:47 |
| sudokill | Newman_, i write list like grub settings, sudoers settings, program config files remmeber to do this and that etc ll | 02:47 |

| cyperbg | ActionParsnip thank you :) | 02:47 |
| jc319 | ActionParsnip: Last time I used linux we had to define by hand 1200x768 etc. Quite a way. Thanks | 02:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, SORRY "aren't" | 02:48 |
| Newman_ | yeah | 02:48 |
| Newman_ | i'm going to do that, i guess main things are HOME w/ hidden files, all ubuntu repositories, and packages | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | jc319: indeed and you can still do it that way, in some cases it's NEEDED | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: as far as I know its all simply detected and setin | 02:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | jc319, what graphics card are you using? Can't you just use the GUI Monitors to set your resolution | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | *setup | 02:49 |

| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, ya - sorry i totally misread your reply | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: no problem bro | 02:49 |
| jc319 | ActionParsnip: Basically I have this lovely Ubuntu setup, everything works OOB, however I want to 'export' it now to an xorg.conf file so that I can relatively easily setup/re-use this in other distros/OSes I will be installing soon. Is it possible to export the results of this udev probe? | 02:50 |
| szal | jc319: do you have files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/? | 02:51 |
| jc319 | szal: There's no such directory. There is /etc/X11 but it has no .confs inside | 02:52 |
| szal | jc319: then it's indeed a case of on-the-fly autoconfig | 02:52 |
| jc319 | Yes it autoconfig's I understand but at some point (possibly just before drawing the initial windows on screen) system becomes aware of the capabilities right, I just want to dump it - if possible? | 02:53 |
| john_rambo | is there any windows mm player available which I can install using wine & then use vdpau ? | 02:54 |

| pksadiq | john_rambo: anyway I have once used klm codec pack, I don't know whether it works or not now | 02:56 |
| john_rambo | soreau, 1 sec please | 02:56 |
| soreau | john_rambo: If you're having issues with mplayer, it's likely actually your graphics driver | 02:56 |
| pksadiq | john_rambo: anyway I think there is some issue with .mid and .3gp files with mplayer and vlc | 02:56 |
| szal | pksadiq: you don't need dubious Windows codec packs when there's w32codecs from Medibuntu | 02:56 |
| john_rambo | soThis is the problem ...http://pastebin.com/Mrcwk7sM | 02:57 |
| pksadiq | szal: sorry, I just answered for what he asked | 02:57 |
| spasysheep | I seem to have irrevocably made my usb stick believe it's a cd... | 02:57 |
| szal | pksadiq: no, you didn't.. a codec pack is not a player ;) | 02:57 |

| ohzie | Hey guys. Are there any quick go-tos for when sound doesn't work on ubuntu 10.04? It's a fresh install. It seems to see my sound card, I've got the volume cranked all the way up, and the microphone thing in sound properties even can 'hear' me talking and tapping on it, so I know the soundcard is being recognized at least somewhat properly. The speakers worked fine this morning before I reinstalled. | 03:27 |

| qin | ActionParsnip: Noted | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: once the names are changed (case sensitive), save the new files and close gedit | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: you can then run: sudo service hostname stop; sudo service hostname start | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: or you can run: sudo sysctl kernel.hostname=NEW_HOSTNAME | 03:39 |

| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDell#USB Tekk_ | 04:08 |
| enko_ | jeff__: why did you switch them in the first place ? | 04:08 |
| qin | semitones: Sorry to ask, do they use same access point? | 04:08 |
| jeff__ | well.. let me explain, so | 04:09 |
| bazhang | Tekk_, looks like it uses the broadcom43xx | 04:09 |
| bazhang | !enter | jeff__ | 04:09 |
| ubottu | jeff__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 04:09 |
| enko_ | i've had problems with bc43. | 04:09 |
| semitones | qin: yes they all connect via 192.168.1.1 | 04:10 |
| semitones | on the same Wireless LAN | 04:10 |
| jeff__ | i have an lg router, wich was set as router (hehe), and another dlink router, wich was connected to that LG. So i've plugged the lg router directly to set as bridge. | 04:10 |
| enko_ | bazhang: I hated my bc43 so bad i just bought a $5 card from newegg to solve all my issues. | 04:10 |
| bkalinga1 | hello experts there ...do i need to do anything to make the Freshly installed OS to appear in the Grub List | 04:10 |
| Tekk_ | bazhang: uhh...no, it uses p54, I've gotten it to connect in debian using that driver :P | 04:11 |
| enko_ | jeff__: What's with the "hehe" and why are you bridging these routers? | 04:11 |
| Tekk_ | bazhang: also that information doesn't help. I have the firmware and stuff, it's just that it can't get an IP address | 04:11 |
| Tekk_ | not getting any offers | 04:11 |
| bazhang | Tekk_, the link says either bcom or ndiswrapper for that | 04:12 |
| jeff__ | well, i have 2 pcs. One of them is a webserver. The Virtual Server function wasn't working well on the lg rounter... so i set it as a bridge, and enabled the virtual server setting on the dlink router | 04:12 |
| DanaG | Just connected my Magic Trackpad... it doesn't even move the cursor. | 04:13 |
| qin | semitones: No clue, hmm, apart of reseting device by device (what would be poitless), nothing comes to my mind. | 04:13 |
| jeff__ | another reason is that the other pc is a notebook, and the lg router has no wireless.. | 04:13 |
| semitones | qin: sounds like I need a new router | 04:14 |
| caminomaster | hello | 04:14 |
| caminomaster | i need to share my eht1 connection to eth0, how can i? | 04:14 |
| enko_ | jeff__: Do you have money issues? :) if not why don't you buy exactly what you need :) | 04:15 |
| jeff__ | but is not a router problem. Doesn't metter if i plug on the lg router, nor the dlink router... | 04:15 |
| caminomaster | i got 2 examples of iptables based scripts, but they are different | 04:15 |
| enko_ | jeff__: thats a linux firmware linksys with some "modified" firmware and you will get all the options you need. | 04:15 |
| jeff__ | my brother's notebook seems to work well with it | 04:15 |
| jeff__ | the problem isn't in the router | 04:16 |
| bazhang | !ics | caminomaster have a read | 04:16 |
| ubottu | caminomaster have a read: 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 | 04:16 |
| jeff__ | and it's not just in home... at work, it doesn't reconize as well | 04:16 |
| jeff__ | completely different networks, etc | 04:17 |
| bazhang | jeff__, its hard to read with you using the enter key so often. please dont | 04:17 |
| qin | semitones: I would test it on wires first. | 04:17 |

| cyperbg | guys, remote desktop shows localhost and my windows VNC viewer says Connection refused | 04:19 |
| coco | I wonder if anyone here can help me with a problem installing ubuntu onto my mac | 04:19 |
| cyperbg | I found that: vino-preferences says that your system is reachable using 'localhost' | 04:19 |
| cyperbg | but I can't make it work | 04:20 |
| cyperbg | any ideas? | 04:20 |
| DanaG | Say, how do you force Xorg to reload xorg.conf files? | 04:20 |
| DanaG | You used to be able to simply restart HAL... but that no longer works. | 04:20 |
| DanaG | er, or even is possible. | 04:20 |
| mrdeb | does it work in debian | 04:21 |
| jeff__ | i think i've found a solution : erase all /etc/network/interfaces info and reboot. Is that safe? | 04:21 |
| DanaG | Oh, I see.. the thing isn't even connecting reliably. | 04:21 |
| coco | I tried many of the tuturial but I have been unable to install Ubuntu no matter how many things I do. Can anyone guide me through and help | 04:21 |
| dr_Willis | jeff__: move or rename them . eill be safer | 04:22 |
| DanaG | g-p-m also used to show the battery. | 04:22 |
| DanaG | Now it doesn't. | 04:22 |
| DanaG | Magic Trackpad won't even connect. "Host is down." | 04:22 |
| jeff__ | sudo rm -rf /* seems safer | 04:22 |
| dr_Willis | coco: tell the vhannel how it fails | 04:22 |
| enko_ | jeff__: indeed :) | 04:22 |
| MrCleaWithHair | jeff__: ....that doesn't seem safe at all | 04:22 |
| DanaG | jeff__: would you advise somebody to smash their hard drive with a hammer? | 04:22 |
| bazhang | jeff__, dont do that. not even in jest | 04:23 |
| coco | who is the Vhannel? | 04:23 |
| bkalinga1 | is there any way i can manually add recently installed Ubuntu 1004 to the Grub Menu List | 04:23 |
| mneptok | jeff__: unfunny. and that's the last warning you will receive. | 04:23 |
| caminomaster | thank you, bazhang | 04:23 |
| dr_Willis | channel | 04:23 |
| MrCleaWithHair | bkalinga1: have you tried grub2-update | 04:23 |
| coco | well the failure is that when I restart the system it just reboots back to my regular mac operating system | 04:24 |
| bkalinga1 | i have another installed Ubuntu1104.. shall try grub2-update there?? | 04:24 |
| jeff__ | oh, is the first and the last. Sorry about that... it was meant to be just a joke. | 04:24 |
| MrCleaWithHair | bkalinga1: you should do it in the last distro you installed that installed grub | 04:24 |
| === imperfec1- is now known as imperfect- | ||
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: update-grub on the os you want to manage grub with | 04:25 |
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: what all do you have installed | 04:25 |
| bkalinga1 | dr_Willis: if i am not able to see Ubuntu1004 then how can i get inside to do this update?? | 04:25 |
| jeff__ | bazzinga | 04:25 |
| MrCleaWithHair | bkalinga1: or use LILO instead of grub. | 04:25 |
| xp0nyte | wurd up | 04:26 |
| bkalinga1 | i have Windows7 Ubuntu1104 | 04:26 |
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: you can edit grub configs to add whst you want | 04:26 |
| imperfect- | Anyone know of something what replaces FreeNX | 04:26 |
| bkalinga1 | just now installed 1004 which is not being shown in the Grub list | 04:26 |
| imperfect- | that might also might give me some Detach capability | 04:26 |
| DanaG | I also wish somebody would give me multi-finger detection on my touchpad, just like EXACTLY ONE Windows driver does. | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: what do you do on the remote system? | 04:26 |
| imperfect- | ActionParsnip: Use it? | 04:26 |
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: so just 2 os are installed? | 04:26 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: sure but in what way? what do you do? | 04:26 |
| imperfect- | ActionParsnip: I use screen for most things, but I'd like a graphical version of screen ;) | 04:26 |
| DanaG | People keep insisting that it's impossible (for a driver to patch firmware)... | 04:26 |
| coco | What I think my problem with it is that the DVD is not bootable. So I was trying to change the DVD to bootable and that was quite a task | 04:27 |
| bkalinga1 | 3 Windows 7 Ubuntu11.04 and just now installed ubuntu1004 | 04:27 |
| DanaG | To which I say: Try removing /lib/firmware, and see how well it works when drivers "can't patch firmware". | 04:27 |
| imperfect- | ActionParsnip: Spreadsheets, vmware stuff etc | 04:27 |
| bkalinga1 | dr_Willis: totally i have 3 OS | 04:27 |
| imperfect- | Also | 04:27 |
| imperfect- | Unrelated question | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: not thought about using SSH to give SFTP and SSHS? | 04:27 |
| bkalinga1 | but when i restart my system i can see only 2 | 04:27 |
| DanaG | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/546697 | 04:27 |
| nit-wit | bkalinga1, one of the easiest ways to get in is supergrub, once inside two commands to reload grub2 to the mbr and update http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ it | 04:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 546697 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) "enable multitouch support on older touchpads, as supported by driver v15.0.9.0" [Medium,Confirmed] | 04:28 |
| imperfect- | SSHS ? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: vmware has a VIC which you can control remote systems with | 04:28 |
| dr_Willis | covo you just burn the ios right and it dhould be bootable. | 04:28 |
| imperfect- | you mean X forwarding? | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: sorry SSHFS | 04:28 |
| jeff__ | well... rebooting and hoping to work | 04:28 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: no, SSHFS is like samba, but secure | 04:28 |
| imperfect- | I'd just like to have my desktop available remotely | 04:28 |
| coco | Dana do you mean to update the patch firmware | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: so you can use the LOCAL apps to the client system and open the files over a secure share, rather than slow accessing over a full screen | 04:29 |
| bkalinga1 | nit-wit: once inside means ...Inside ubuntu1104?? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: this is why I asked what you do | 04:29 |
| imperfect- | Unrelated question: can someone think of a -really- slimmed down linux distro for which I could use like open/flux/blackbox as the window manager so I could run only Wireshark for network troubleshooting? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: its very often not needed and there are much sleekr options available | 04:29 |
| bazhang | imperfect-, lubuntu | 04:29 |
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: run update grub. and see if it ads the other os. what is the 3rd os | 04:29 |
| sjuxax | brad-figg in room, or someone else with knowledge of Ubuntu Audio Dev PPA? | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: you could install ubuntu minimal then install lxde and lxdm for a super tiny punchy OS :) | 04:30 |
| bkalinga1 | Ubuntu 10.o4 | 04:30 |
| torturedsoul | sigh | 04:30 |
| torturedsoul | still cant get ubuntu to run from my usb stick | 04:30 |
| imperfect- | lxde? | 04:30 |
| bkalinga1 | update grub should be run inside ??? | 04:30 |
| imperfect- | I basically just need blackbox+wireshark | 04:30 |
| bazhang | torturedsoul, using unetbootin? | 04:30 |
| jeff__ | and it worked like a charm !! | 04:30 |
| torturedsoul | i use the pendrivelinux software to install the iso | 04:30 |
| dr_Willis | bkalinga1: yes.. where else can you run it from.. :) | 04:31 |
| mrdeb | should i set any options in fstab other than defaults | 04:31 |
| torturedsoul | fails on several laptops so its not my laptops fault | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: sure, check it out. Its super light. Its an alternative to kde or gnome | 04:31 |
| DanaG | Okay, I made a more coherent comment on my bug report. | 04:31 |
| DanaG | Now, what do I do about my gnome panel not starting? | 04:31 |

| torturedsoul | ach its over my head | 04:38 |
| torturedsoul | i just installed grub4dos on the usb | 04:38 |
| dr_Willis | coco i dont use macs. so no idea other then say ckeck forums and askubuntu.com | 04:38 |

| DanaG | Install it from within OS X. | 04:39 |
| coco | I used it | 04:39 |
| bazhang | coco, ask in a mac channel? | 04:39 |
| coco | but it does not work | 04:39 |
| DanaG | hmm, you may also need to run the "enable-always.sh" | 04:39 |
| coco | that was the first thing I installed | 04:39 |
| DanaG | That'll "bless" it as the boot loader. | 04:39 |
| coco | Mac people I spoke to told me to ask in a linux channel | 04:39 |
| coco | I guess most people who use linux dont use mac computer | 04:40 |
| dr_Willis | cyperbg: that must be a large case and desk. :) ati has some monitor tool perhaps in their drivers. or check the default monitors tool | 04:40 |
| ActionParsnip | coco: mac people 9 times out of 10 don't know a lot | 04:40 |

| ActionParsnip | bluelabrat: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail may give clues | 04:40 |
| cyperbg | dr_Willis - I will check :) | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | bluelabrat: you may need to disable ipv6 | 04:41 |
| cyperbg | I use it for bitcoin mining | 04:41 |
| bluelabrat | ActionParsnip: done | 04:41 |
| bluelabrat | its actually my phone lines are old and corroded (Att) | 04:41 |
| dr_Willis | no idea what bitcoin even is.. | 04:41 |
| bluelabrat | i'm just switching to cable 30mbit since its $200 to replace lines, they dont maintain them | 04:41 |
| dr_Willis | dont want to know really.. heh | 04:41 |
| cyperbg | dr_Willis :) | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | bluelabrat: i'd relpace the cables then | 04:42 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, you know what we had to do to get Charter to fix our dang sucky (turned out to be completely rusted) cable run to our house? | 04:42 |
| DanaG | We had to get Charter Telephone. | 04:42 |
| DanaG | Apparently, then they were legally required to make it work reliably. | 04:42 |
| bluelabrat | i dont have the option to have the cables replaced (phone)... though i'm getting cable internet which wont have a problem | 04:43 |

| dr_Willis | coco you mean the cd dosent boot ir what exactly | 04:46 |
| bluelabrat | sorry guys got disconnected again | 04:46 |
| _schulte_ | any idea how to disable network manager on startup, I purged it from /etc/rc* but still it starts on every boot | 04:47 |
| coco | when I try on the CD I get the message that says that I need at least 1.4 GB even thought the UBUntu os is 699MB | 04:47 |
| bluelabrat | i cant pay to replace my dsl cables and am getting cable later this week | 04:47 |
| bluelabrat | its much cheaper at the end to bundle | 04:47 |
| coco | dr_willis: yes the DVD does not even show up as a choice when rebooting | 04:47 |
| bluelabrat | but until thne its near impossible to keep the flow of conversation on irc | 04:47 |
| dr_Willis | axscode: x sort of disables the normal old beep alert. | 04:47 |
| coco | but when I check the DVD it shows that it has the linux program installed | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | coco how dud you burn it | 04:48 |
| axscode | using unity? or? | 04:48 |
| bluelabrat | i'm looking but if anyone can suggest a BNC server... | 04:48 |
| bluelabrat | :) | 04:48 |
| axscode | is there anyway i can enable it ? my ping -a (audible) which i im used to is not working anymore | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | coci HOW did you make the dvd | 04:49 |
| dr_Willis | coco. | 04:49 |
| coco | dr_willis: I go to the Ubuntu.com and downloaded to the mac or the window os and then burn it onto the dvd fromt from there | 04:49 |
| mrdeb | why is ubuntu 1104 not at kernel 39 yet | 04:49 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: ubuntu doesn't upgrade its kernels like that | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | reget the cd not the dvd. use windowd and check/reburn it | 04:50 |
| mrdeb | aroma, 39 is out and its faster | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | !burn | 04:50 |
| ubottu | CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 04:50 |
| DanaG | coco: did you use Wubi? I'll bet you can't chainload to wubi very well with it. | 04:50 |
| axscode | 11.10 is using lk 3 but of course alpha dev. | 04:50 |
| DanaG | It probably wants a native install. | 04:50 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: I'm well aware. In fact i'm running 3.0. Regardless, Ubuntu policy is not to ship a whole new point release of the kernel to stable systems. | 04:50 |
| DanaG | Not sure of that, though. | 04:51 |
| DanaG | I wonder if there's an "ubuntu-mac" channel. | 04:51 |
| coco | should I burn it using infrarecorder? | 04:51 |
| bazhang | DanaG, ubuntu-ppc | 04:51 |
| aroman1 | coco: you trying Mac+Ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| mrdeb | aroma, can you tell me how to intsall 3 then | 04:51 |
| dr_Willis | axscode: its an x bug i recall. you may want to check the forums | 04:51 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, in 11.04? thats not supported | 04:51 |
| torturedsoul | got it working | 04:51 |
| torturedsoul | :) | 04:51 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: upgrade to 11.10, use a different distro, build it yourself, or find a PPA | 04:51 |
| dr_Willis | coco: i use that tool a lot. its good | 04:51 |
| aroman1 | those are your options | 04:52 |
| coco | I tried both the Mac 32 bit and the window | 04:52 |
| torturedsoul | is there any program for linux that is same as winhex? | 04:52 |
| axscode | oh sad.. i think still not fixed. | 04:52 |

| dr_Willis | axscode: use beep command. :) | 04:52 |
| mrdeb | ... | 04:52 |
| caminomaster | I had some files in 3 partitions. Now i've changed physical disks, creating equivalent partitions. How is better to copy the files to maintain permssions as before? with my user or as root? | 04:52 |
| coco | dr_WIllis: when I try to burn it using infrarecorder I was not even allowed, it said that function was not allow | 04:53 |
| torturedsoul | its for files, is it also for physical hdd? | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | coco: no idea on that. try other tools i guess | 04:53 |
| torturedsoul | i.e /dev/sda | 04:53 |
| axscode | i installed beep command.. | 04:53 |
| axscode | whats next? | 04:53 |
| MadGirl | somebody said next was clerical :) | 04:53 |
| coco | dr_Willis: Which other tools would you recommend? | 04:54 |
| dr_Willis | axscode: i use beep in scripts normally | 04:54 |
| axscode | ah thats sad again | 04:54 |
| axscode | :D | 04:54 |

| axscode | :( i mean | 04:54 |
| torturedsoul | anyone know if ghex can view/edit /dev/sda, or is it only for files | 04:54 |
| torturedsoul | winhex can edit physical disks | 04:54 |
| dr_Willis | beep can play music if done right | 04:54 |
| gry | axscode: On one line would be easier to read | 04:55 |
| aroman1 | torturedsoul: why not try it out and find out? | 04:55 |
| coco | ubottu: thanks, I'll give them a try hopefully I have better luck | 04:55 |

| imperfect- | is openbox available on lubuntu | 04:55 |
| imperfect- | ? | 04:55 |
| torturedsoul | because i already donwloaded like 5 and tried | 04:55 |
| gry | imperfect-: yes | 04:55 |
| torturedsoul | none can | 04:55 |
| bazhang | imperfect-, its part of it yes | 04:55 |
| dr_Willis | imperfect-: yes | 04:55 |
| torturedsoul | so instead of wasting hours i decide to ask here | 04:55 |
| axscode | gry? means? | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | torturedsoul: you get the idea, just search software centre | 04:55 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: openbox is the default WM of LXDE | 04:55 |
| gry | axscode: you said a few lines, say it in one please so I don't have to read it split | 04:55 |
| imperfect- | Good | 04:56 |
| axscode | oh, that. well. amm. ok... i will... | 04:56 |
| imperfect- | needs to be fast and wiresharky | 04:56 |
| imperfect- | ;) | 04:56 |
| imperfect- | thanks | 04:56 |
| gry | axscode: :) | 04:56 |
| mrdeb | aroman1: what ubuntu are you on | 04:56 |
| wildbat | is it possible to put ISOs in partitions in a USB HDD and boot with grub2 ? anyone know? | 04:56 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: I'm not running Ubuntu on the box that has 3.0 | 04:56 |
| mrdeb | aroman1: what are you running | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: you can just run openbox on its own, without LXDE, makes it faster | 04:57 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: gentoo | 04:57 |
| mrdeb | is that fast | 04:57 |
| aroman1 | extremely | 04:57 |
| mrdeb | k | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | wildbat: yes, grub2 can boot ISO files | 04:57 |
| mrdeb | i have not tried genttoo maybe i should | 04:57 |
| dr_Willis | wildbat: should be doable. but i keep them on a single partition | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: its not as simple as ubuntu | 04:57 |
| mrdeb | i know its not simple b ut it doesnt matter | 04:58 |
| Medjai | if i've made changes to unity like taking off that hover scroll and removing the global menu and i'm transfering my HOME folder from one computer to another do those changes reside in the HOME folder or should there be something else I should be copying | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | What' LXDE? | 04:58 |
| mrdeb | i cna figure it out | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: but by using it you will learn a LOT about your OS | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | like XDM? | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | I"m running this on like a p3 | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | er p4 | 04:58 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: lxde is a desktop environment like gnome or kde | 04:58 |
| westz | imperfect-, no, it's a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | just using it for packet capture | 04:58 |
| dr_Willis | !lxde | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | gotcha | 04:58 |
| coco | ubottu: I tried that website it was helpfull but I got stock on that one. Based on the webpage it seems like the disk needs to have something that says that it is bootable. So how do I know if my DVD can be used as a bootable devise? | 04:58 |
| ubottu | coco: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:58 |
| bkalinga1 | dr_willis: doing grup-update shows my newly installed 10.04 but selecting that kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block | 04:58 |
| imperfect- | why would I run opebox ontop of lxde/ | 04:58 |
| westz | ActionParsnip, HIVEMIND | 04:58 |
| mrdeb | aroman1: are you using fox or chrome | 04:58 |
| aroman1 | chrome | 04:58 |
| Cydd | guys | 04:58 |
| mrdeb | k | 04:58 |
| gry | Cydd hi | 04:58 |
| Cydd | im looking for a linux distro that you recommend and rhymes with choo-chun-too | 04:59 |
| dr_Willis | coco the ubunti cd and dvd Are bootable if brun | 04:59 |
| Medjai | gentoo? | 04:59 |
| MadGirl | gentoo is fun and funtoo is not? | 04:59 |
| Medjai | lol | 04:59 |
| dr_Willis | burnt right | 04:59 |
| gry | Cydd this channel is ubuntu only, try ##linux for that | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | westz: huh? | 04:59 |
| imperfect- | Now if I could only et my GoogleTV to stream videos from my comouter | 04:59 |
| Cydd | it was a joke gry | 04:59 |
| imperfect- | I'd be happy as a lark | 04:59 |
| Cydd | but ily | 04:59 |
| westz | we commented almost identical things to him at the same time | 04:59 |
| gry | :-D | 04:59 |
| Medjai | PSST! anyone Unity experts here? | 05:00 |
| gry | Medjai: This channel? Sure. | 05:00 |
| aroman1 | Medjai: just ask your question :) | 05:00 |
| westz | Medjai, screw unity, gnome FTW | 05:00 |
| Medjai | lol | 05:00 |
| Medjai | i love gnome | 05:00 |
| coco | dr_Willis: oh so there is no label on it that would say that it is bootable. So basically as long as I burned the ubuntu then I should have no problem and is rare to have the problem I have right? | 05:00 |
| Medjai | but i'm sure they had a reason why the switched | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | imperfect-: setup samba shares, if your google tv can read windows shares you are smug. XBMC also can setup a streaming server. Depends what the device can do | 05:00 |
| axscode | #unbutu+1 = unity | 05:00 |
| Medjai | so i adapted | 05:00 |
| gry | !anybody | Medjai | 05:00 |
| ubottu | Medjai: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 05:00 |
| dr_Willis | coco yep. | 05:00 |
| coco | dr_Willis: unless I am doing something wrong | 05:00 |
| Medjai | if i've made changes to unity like taking off that hover scroll and removing the global menu and i'm transfering my HOME folder from one computer to another do those changes reside in the HOME folder or should there be something else I should be copying | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | westz: unity doesn't replace gnome | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | westz: unity is only a shell, not a DE | 05:01 |
| Medjai | um i believe it did replace gnome | 05:01 |
| aroman1 | It did not. | 05:01 |
| axscode | fight!!!!!!!! | 05:01 |
| Medjai | well i thought it was both a shell and a gnome replacement | 05:01 |
| bazhang | !ot | 05:01 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 05:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Medjai: it doesn't. many think it does. Its funny | 05:01 |
| westz | ActionParsnip, i know, i just dont like unity, and its easier to say "gnome vs unity" than "gnome panels and stuff vs unity" | 05:01 |
| Medjai | because you can go clasical | 05:01 |
| Medjai | or merge | 05:01 |
| mrdeb | unity works ok if you get used to it | 05:01 |
| aroman1 | mrdeb: that's true of everything in life | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | westz: its an incorrec comparison | 05:02 |
| axscode | yes im loving it | 05:02 |
| dr_Willis | its a layer over the gnome3 stuff i guess you can say | 05:02 |
| Medjai | hmm | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | you can finally easily use the windows key to lauch apps | 05:02 |
| axscode | unity + awn so i can still display the menu at awn | 05:02 |
| westz | ActionParsnip, doesnt matter really, since i dont like unity | 05:02 |
| wiesshund | unity is ok for like small screen laptops, and task oriented setups with few apps, i just dont like it for my desktop | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | and screne size is better used | 05:02 |
| Medjai | hey ActionParsnip | 05:02 |
| skilz | whats the name of the new ubuntu wm? | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | screen | 05:02 |
| mrdeb | skilz: compiz | 05:02 |
| Medjai | quick help with my question? | 05:02 |
| skilz | no | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: its still compiz and metacity by default | 05:02 |
| Medjai | if i've made changes to unity like taking off that hover scroll and removing the global menu and i'm transferring my HOME folder from one computer to another do those changes reside in the HOME folder or should there be something else I should be copying | 05:02 |
| aroman1 | skilz: the window *decorator*? | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Medjai: ask the channel | 05:02 |
| skilz | I mean the gui | 05:02 |
| Medjai | i did | 05:02 |
| === coff is now known as linux_probe | ||
| ActionParsnip | skilz: gnome | 05:03 |
| Medjai | everyone seems to skip over it | 05:03 |
| westz | do html tags work here? | 05:03 |
| skilz | with the icons on the side | 05:03 |
| skilz | like a bar | 05:03 |
| axscode | no this is irc. | 05:03 |
| Medjai | lol it may be too long that it only shows on my side or did you just see that last question | 05:03 |
| aroman1 | westz: nope | 05:03 |
| coco | ubutto, dr_Willis and DanaG: alright thanks for the help | 05:03 |
| dr_Willis | westz: it depends on how you disabled those things | 05:03 |
| westz | any way for me to bolden/strikethrough | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Medjai: I believe they do, settings are stored on a per user basis | 05:03 |
| bazhang | westz, in this channel? no | 05:03 |
| dr_Willis | oops thats for Medjai | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: that isnt a WM, its a shell | 05:03 |
| westz | aww. oh well then | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: its called unity | 05:04 |
| Medjai | well | 05:04 |
| bazhang | westz, do you have an actual support question? | 05:04 |
| Medjai | i don't even remember how i did it dr_Willis | 05:04 |
| Medjai | lol it was so long ago | 05:04 |
| imperfect- | i i dont like unity at all ;( | 05:04 |
| westz | not at the moment, just here to kill time maybe answer a few questions while im installing some stuff | 05:04 |
| skilz | ActionParsnip, I thought a shell was something you ssh into | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: the WM is still compiz, you just have an extra app running. Its like conky. It just runs and sits there | 05:04 |
| Erik500002 | hey guys need some help I accidentally deleted my wireless modules so I have no wifi, how can I restore everything back to default | 05:04 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: thats a different kind of shell | 05:05 |
| aroman1 | Erik500002: reinstalling the OS would be the easiest I assume | 05:05 |
| DanaG | I figured out my magic trackpad issue: | 05:05 |
| robin0800 | axscode: ubuntu+1 is not unity it is ubuntu 11.10 development | 05:05 |
| dr_Willis | plug in to wired.. | 05:05 |
| Medjai | btw should i install all my applications first and then copy over my home folder | 05:05 |
| westz | Erik500002, you can probabloy rip them off your install disc if you have it | 05:05 |
| Medjai | or does the order not matter | 05:05 |
| DanaG | It's not working with Windows either, so it must be a low battery. | 05:05 |
| Erik500002 | aroman1 dont tell me Dx, just reinstalled and having such a hard time with natty :/ | 05:05 |
| bazhang | !enter | Medjai | 05:05 |
| ubottu | Medjai: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:05 |
| dingurt | Lol, reinstall os is your answer? | 05:05 |
| Erik500002 | westz i have my install cd here so how do I rip them out browsing the cd and couldn't find the .ko files | 05:05 |
| DanaG | Erik500002: try dpkg -S b43 (or whatever the module was) | 05:06 |
| aroman1 | Erik500002: I don't see why it would be such a big deal. All you have to do is reinstall the system files -- not your personal stuff | 05:06 |
| aroman1 | just tell Ubiquity not to reformat your problem | 05:06 |
| DanaG | Reinstall is a big deal for me, because I have system-level tweaks all over the place. | 05:06 |
| Erik500002 | aroman1 still, I have such a hard time with grub always have issues when reinstalling | 05:06 |
| aroman1 | it's easy, relatively painless, and guaranteed to work | 05:06 |
| DanaG | You can probably just chroot in, and reinstall the kernel packages. | 05:06 |
| dtchen | Erik500002: did the wireless modules come with Ubuntu, i.e., were they part of linux-image? | 05:06 |
| dtchen | Erik500002: ^ what DanaG implied | 05:06 |
| axscode | robin0800: well sorry i thought its a good place to ask unity :D | 05:06 |
| DanaG | !chroot | 05:07 |
| dingurt | aroman1: And completely unnecessary | 05:07 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 05:07 |
| wiesshund | i always copy system tweaks to my home folder, just for reinstalling | 05:07 |
| DanaG | Okay, that factoid is overkill. | 05:07 |
| aroman1 | dingurt: that depends. if the guy is a total novice, the other options might be impractical | 05:07 |
| aroman1 | sometimes the most straightforward and easiest solution is the best | 05:07 |
| DanaG | There are just a couple of things you need to do: mount the root. bind mount /proc. bind mount /dev. bind mount /sys | 05:07 |
| aroman1 | but sure, if we can help him in a less invasive way, by all means. | 05:07 |
| Ibyss | Anyone by any chance manage to sucessfully access server with outside IP? (Using desktop, not server version of ubuntu). | 05:07 |
| aroman1 | Ibyss: I have | 05:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | DanaG, to see chroot steps check !grub2 link | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Ibyss: sure | 05:08 |
| dingurt | Ibyss: All the time | 05:08 |
| === jackie is now known as Guest22035 | ||
| Erik500002 | DanaG just used dpkg and still got module not found | 05:08 |
| wiesshund | Ibyss, yes, if i understand question correctly | 05:08 |
| Ibyss | I just can't get this thing to work for the life of me. | 05:08 |
| DanaG | sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-whateveritwas | 05:08 |
| dingurt | Ibyss: As in ssh or vnc or what? | 05:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Ibyss: how do you want to connect to the system? | 05:09 |
| DanaG | Ibyss: if you have a home router, you probably need port forwarding. | 05:09 |
| Erik500002 | DanaG your a genius totally forgot about the linux-image reinstall xD | 05:09 |
| dingurt | ^^ | 05:09 |
| Erik500002 | that should do the trick for me :) | 05:09 |
| Guest22035 | I did not anything but i could access | 05:09 |
| DanaG | I prefer aptitude... | 05:09 |
| Ibyss | It's not server ubuntu. It's my own computer. The ports are forward. Online Port checker says I'm doing this right. But I just can't go and see my website with outside IP. I changed port number, still nothing. | 05:10 |
| aroman1 | DanaG: good man | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Erik500002: it's "you're a genius" 'your implies ownership | 05:10 |
| Ibyss | I have firewall disabled. | 05:10 |

| babu | how to install tomcat in eclipse | 05:10 |
| imperfect- | is there reallt grammernazism afoot | 05:10 |
| DanaG | And "you're" to "you are" | 05:10 |
| Erik500002 | right, just typing in here fast :) | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Ibyss: can you access the site from localhost? | 05:10 |
| DanaG | It'd make those mistakes look really stupid even to the person who made them. =P | 05:10 |
| DanaG | oh, and "cos" to "cosine" | 05:10 |
| Ibyss | YEs. And from another computer on my network too. | 05:11 |
| Erik500002 | not really paying much attention to grammar been having such a tough day with ubuntu Dx | 05:11 |
| dingurt | Ibyss: If you are 100% sure the ports are forwarded then make sure apache is running | 05:11 |
| westz | DanaG, I LOVE IT | 05:11 |
| skilz | what should i run unity in? | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Ibyss: if you give me the address or IP, I can test port 80 if you want | 05:11 |
| DanaG | Too bad you can't do the same to "your" | 05:11 |
| skilz | im using xfce | 05:11 |
| dingurt | Ibyss: Ports must not be forwarded or firewall is blocking then | 05:11 |
| skilz | i tyed unity into the terminal and I got a bunch of errors | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: you can run unity on xfce if you wish | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | skilz: if you dont have 3D accelleration, install unity 2d | 05:12 |
| dr_Willis | thats a sick idea..:) | 05:12 |
| Erik500002 | well i'll be right back have to restart | 05:12 |
| DanaG | I've used Unity on a 915GM. Worked surprisingly well. | 05:13 |
| DanaG | One big thing Unity needs: that little not-quite-a-button needs to look like it's pressed when you press it. | 05:13 |
| DanaG | Right now, you press it, and get no feedback while it lags. So you press it again. | 05:13 |
| dr_Willis | does xfce support compositing? ife not tired xfce in ages | 05:13 |
| skilz | how do I install unity 2d? | 05:13 |
| DanaG | What it should do: you press it, it looks "pressed". Sure, the thing doesn't appear yet, but at least you know you've actually pressed it. | 05:13 |
| bazhang | skilz, the package unity-2d | 05:14 |

| wiesshund | [THC]AcidRain, to help out humanity? Trust me you don't have enough computers | 05:24 |
| Lasers | josh__: Check /etc/apt/sources.list (and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*) for any PPA you may added. However Ubuntu do have Software Sources (that you can use to comment out lines -- If any). | 05:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | wiesshund: lol | 05:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | well. perhaps that was the wrong question. what can i do to give back to the community? | 05:25 |
| Lasers | wiesshund: You want less computers. More computers will just drain the humanity out of people (and resources). | 05:25 |
| wiesshund | [THC]AcidRain, not to mention it gets wasteful to keep using them to bash people upside the head | 05:25 |

| caminomaster | how do you reccomend to move data between partitions to preserve permissions? root or my user? | 05:26 |
| wiesshund | [THC]AcidRain, set up a "dating" service ? | 05:26 |
| nikhgupta | caminomaster, in a .tgz archive while preserving permissions | 05:26 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, thanks 4 answering | 05:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | wiesshund: i thought about that. but isnt there already enough of those? i also thought about something like myspace or facebook. but they pretty much got that on lock | 05:27 |
| caminomaster | but is too much data to move! | 05:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i wanna do something new, something that hasnt been done before, regardless out crazy and out there it is | 05:27 |
| DanaG | oh yeah, and my CM106 sound card is still buggy. | 05:27 |

| nikhgupta | caminomaster, I only know of this way to do what you are asking.. There must be more ways to do it though, I am sure. :/ | 05:28 |
| DanaG | It's a buggy device... claims only stereo input, until I kill pulseaudio. | 05:28 |
| DanaG | And then it has only a "speaker" volume. | 05:28 |
| DanaG | And it only supports 7.1. No 5.1, not even stereo. Just 7.1. | 05:28 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, there's no system data... not home nor / | 05:28 |
| DanaG | Oh, and if I plug it in and unplug it multiple times, really quickly, the kernel dies. | 05:29 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, so I wander if it's better to just move files as root or as my user | 05:29 |
| k4r1m | I have a file that I own and can change permission of but for some reason I'm not able to remove it.. keep getting rm errors even with -f? any ideas? | 05:29 |
| Abhijit | hi | 05:30 |
| caminomaster | which option will affect lless my data | 05:30 |
| Abhijit | where does rhythmbox stores the saved radio station file? | 05:30 |
| wiesshund | k4r1m, what errors? | 05:30 |
| skilz | how can I set my system to connect to wifi(internet) and eth0(share) during boot without having to login | 05:31 |
| k4r1m | wiesshund: http://pastebin.com/8exPs0vg | 05:31 |
| Abhijit | skilz, it will connect to eth0 without login | 05:32 |
| skilz | ok but what about wlan0 | 05:32 |
| k4r1m | wiesshund: don't really understand, I'm the owner of the file | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !ics | skilz | 05:32 |
| ubottu | skilz: 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 | 05:32 |
| nikhgupta | caminomaster, I would say if possible move the two things in separate shifts.. so you know which ones are which and move accordingly. | 05:32 |
| nikhgupta | if thats possible. | 05:32 |
| wiesshund | k4r1m, if file is not in use by anything did you try sudo rm -f ? | 05:32 |
| dtchen | DanaG: that's...awesome? (about the cm106) | 05:33 |
| Satisfied | is there a safe way to abort a mv operation ? | 05:33 |
| k4r1m | wiesshund: no sudo access :( might be used by something yeah will figure it out | 05:33 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, separate shifts? | 05:33 |
| caminomaster | what do U mean? | 05:33 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, yo mean depending on owner? | 05:34 |
| nikhgupta | as in.. move the files in groups - those belonging to myuser and those belonging to root.. | 05:34 |
| nikhgupta | yeah | 05:34 |
| shingen | what's the command to kill x in 11.04? ctrl-alt-backspace isn't working... | 05:34 |
| caminomaster | nikhgupta, almost all files (maybe all) belong to my user | 05:34 |
| caminomaster | so you mean is better as myself? | 05:34 |
| Abhijit | shingen, kill -9 -1 | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | shingen, that will automatically logout also | 05:35 |
| shingen | Abhijit: seriously dude, :P | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | ?? | 05:35 |
| shingen | Abhijit: I just want to kill the x-session | 05:35 |
| Abhijit | shingen, amm ok | 05:35 |
| nikhgupta | caminomaster, in that case, you can create a simple script to list out all files which belong to root and mv them at once.. since they are less in numbers the move wont take a lot of time and can also be done with tar help in script.. later you can just move the remaining files as myuser. | 05:35 |
| caminomaster | hum, but i don't know how to do such a script | 05:36 |
| caminomaster | any, hint-link, nikhgupta ? | 05:37 |

| Bo0m | cool thanks. | 06:14 |
| Bo0m | heh you guys have links for every question.. nice | 06:14 |
| tk` | anyone has suspend working on an hp elitebook? | 06:14 |
| dr_Willis | almost every one | 06:14 |
| tiox | Though, skilz, when you figure out how to get stuff working, you can do some amature programming and use an alias for the entire group of actions. | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: are the files larger than 4Gb? | 06:15 |
| tk` | kacpid goes to 100% on one core | 06:15 |
| dgh | err, ActionParsnip, it might be | 06:15 |
| dgh | but i dont htink so | 06:15 |
| tiox | alias "action1 && action2 && action3" = dowhatiwant | 06:15 |
| fredrick | dtchen, I'm not too sure where to put my equivs control file | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: max file size for FAT32 is 4Gb | 06:15 |
| fredrick | Any specific place? | 06:15 |
| dgh | nope. 88MB | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: FAT32 also has near zero robustness. NTFS is a much better solution | 06:16 |
| Abhijit | brb | 06:16 |
| dgh | but i have problem in using NTFS | 06:16 |
| Bo0m | ok guys thanks. Am gonna hit bed now. I will update all these packages while sleeping and see what its up to. Thanks again. | 06:16 |
| tiox | RATHER, alias dowhatiwant="..." | 06:16 |
| Bo0m | Can I just idle here? | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Bo0m: absolutely | 06:16 |
| Bo0m | thanks. | 06:17 |
| dgh | when i copy stuffs, some of the files are not copied and the error "Operation not permitted" eventhough im the root | 06:17 |
| === Bo0m is now known as bo0m_away | ||
| dgh | therefore i change to FAT32 | 06:17 |

| ActionParsnip | dgh: is the partition healthy | 06:18 |
| Bo0m | ActionParsnip, : Thanks : ) adios | 06:18 |
| dgh | yea ActionParsnip | 06:18 |
| dgh | ActionParsnip: I have just formatted them | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: when did you last test it | 06:18 |
| dgh | few minutes ago | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: ok thats cool | 06:18 |
| dgh | ActionParsnip: I m runnig out of idea now | 06:19 |
| HackNewton | Thanks Abhijit :D | 06:19 |
| fredrick | dtchen, oh, I see now, after re-reading the documentation. nevermind :) the idea is to build a fake deb package, not to use the equivs file | 06:19 |
| HackNewton | really appreciate your help | 06:19 |
| bderrly | does anyone know how to help upstart forget what pid it thinks a service is? | 06:20 |
| === HackNewton is now known as HackNewton_Away | ||
| fredrick | dgh, why not format as ext4? | 06:20 |
| dgh | fredrick: well, FAT32 is the better format i would say because windows and linux can use/view | 06:21 |
| bderrly | NTFS > FAT32 and both OSes can use it too | 06:21 |
| dr_Willis | ntfs works well these days | 06:21 |
| dgh | well, dr_Willis , i woudl say so but i have trouble in copying files for the past 2 days | 06:22 |
| dgh | thats why i gave up and change to FAT32 | 06:22 |
| tiox | If you want to really get tricksy, you could compile an open source file viewer using cygwin in WIndows and use that to manage all your ext4 partitions there. | 06:22 |
| dr_Willis | dgh: your issues sound like its wanting to set ownership or other permisdions to me | 06:22 |
| dgh | dr_Willis: the current issue with FAT32 is the # of files | 06:23 |
| dgh | in a directory i suppose | 06:23 |
| dr_Willis | how many files you got on it. hiw many in the root of the drive | 06:24 |
| dgh | dr_Willis: i m not sure now coz ive deleted them already | 06:24 |
| dr_Willis | thete is a max # but its a very high number | 06:24 |
| dr_Willis | old dos type limits | 06:25 |
| BPower | Hey all. I can't seem to find the package to automatically print a backtrace when PHP ends with a fatal error. Anyone know what I'm talking about? | 06:25 |
| dr_Willis | i git ntfs disks with 100000 plus files i inagine | 06:25 |
| === HackNewton_Away is now known as HackNewton | ||
| dgh | dr_Willis: im not sure now what to do | 06:26 |
| dr_Willis | dgh: write up the details at askubuntu.com and look for a fix. or just use ext4 or ntfs i would say. | 06:28 |
| dr_Willis | i gave missed half the problem i imagine | 06:28 |
| dgh | ext4 is good? | 06:29 |
| Starchaser | no | 06:29 |
| coco | dr_Willis: I solved the problem thanks for the help | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: if you don't want to share with windows systesm, yes | 06:29 |
| dr_Willis | coco burning it wrong? or what | 06:30 |
| coco | now, for some reason the DVD has an error that does not allow the whole Ubuntu to load onto it | 06:30 |
| dgh | means purely linux? | 06:30 |
| dgh | can ext4 copy files from NTFS/ext4 system files? | 06:30 |
| dr_Willis | dgh the os does that.. | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dgh: Ubuntu has full access to NTFS based partitons | 06:31 |
| coco | so, I bought a Cd rom and now the thing is very slow to get started but hopefully I get it working by the end of the night | 06:31 |
| dr_Willis | linux can access ntfs. windows is limited in what itcan do | 06:31 |
| dgh | so ext4 or ntfs will do? | 06:31 |
| coco | I at least now get the installation screen | 06:31 |
| dgh | ill try ext4 then in this case since ntfs doesnt give me any hope | 06:31 |
| dr_Willis | dgh depends in what you are doing | 06:32 |
| dr_Willis | ntfs sould work fine in most cases also. im not clear on the original probmem | 06:32 |
| coco | dr_Willis: just wanted to let u know that I felt that infrarecorder was helpful in verifying error on the DVD | 06:32 |
| dr_Willis | coco in the future. you may want to use the cd. its smaller | 06:33 |
| dr_Willis | dvd version hasmore languages i think is its main feature | 06:33 |
| coco | dr_Willis: yes that's what I wanted to use all along but the computer said that I did not have enough space> | 06:34 |
| coco | dr_Willis: however it worked out once I downloaded the program into my window OS and burn it using infrarecording and then connecting it on my mac. | 06:35 |
| dr_Willis | macs are weird.. :) | 06:35 |
| saqueo | hola | 06:35 |
| coco | dr_Willis: yeah especially when there is no one there to help | 06:36 |
| coco | dr_Willis: good thing people in my house have windows | 06:37 |
| dr_Willis | sounds luke the whole issue was hiw to burn the iso on the mac | 06:38 |
| toshiba | ? | 06:39 |
| dr_Willis | toshiba: ?? | 06:39 |
| b44 | What to type answer here: Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk | 06:41 |
| b44 | ??? | 06:41 |
| b44 | if: /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java* | 06:41 |
| dr_Willis | is j2se the same as java or id it an extra program package tlyou install seperatly | 06:42 |
| dr_Willis | !j2se | 06:43 |
| TrevInc | It's Java standard edition | 06:43 |
| TrevInc | Java 4 and 5 are technically "Java 2" | 06:43 |
| TrevInc | With the next version they went back to calling it Java 1.6 | 06:43 |
| dr_Willis | java gas so many name varatnts and things. i get confused | 06:43 |
| coco | dr_Willis: yes, that's correct the whole issue was burning the DVD on the mac but now I should be good | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | so above i wants the path to that jre dir.? | 06:45 |

| babu | when i sent message to sql, it says cannot send to channel.. | 06:58 |
| babu | wat's the reson | 06:58 |
| babu | wat's the reason | 06:58 |
| Abhijit | babu, can you read me there? | 07:00 |
| babu | yep | 07:00 |
| degilnya | hi all i've got some problem in ubuntu natty | 07:00 |
| Abhijit | degilnya, ask | 07:00 |
| susundberg | !ask | 07:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:00 |
| degilnya | i've created a website in php and mysql and in windows it works perfectly but in linux ubuntu it got error when i go to the browser | 07:00 |
| Abhijit | babu, no idea try to talk to an op of that channel | 07:00 |
| degilnya | its said "Error!: could not find driver" | 07:01 |
| degilnya | i've installed php5-mysql already | 07:01 |
| degilnya | and in php.ini of ubuntu i tried to show some path for it to go for the mysql.so extension=/path/mysql.so | 07:02 |
| degilnya | but it still give me error of "Error!: could not find driver" | 07:02 |
| susundberg | Google for php mysql installion guide, i am sure there exists such | 07:02 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: Thank you, again, for referring me to the proper way to rebuild alsa from scratch. That was immensely helpful. | 07:03 |
| susundberg | or are you sure that your php+mysql installation is proper? | 07:03 |
| === gry is now known as win2000user | ||
| degilnya | emm im not sure its from other people that responsible | 07:03 |
| degilnya | should i dpkg-reconfigure something? | 07:03 |
| susundberg | degilnya: do as simple as possible script .php to test the installion | 07:03 |
| degilnya | oh if a simple script i can connect to the db i created a php simple script connect to mysql db | 07:04 |
| degilnya | but in my website its kind of complicated | 07:04 |
| degilnya | in windows it works perfectly | 07:04 |
| susundberg | One can also find such with google: http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/simple-php-mysql-connection-test-script-example-t5702.html | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: its on the sound troubleshooting official docs | 07:05 |
| remoteCTRL | how bout some visualization plugins for mplayer? | 07:05 |
| degilnya | actually what is it mean of "Error!: could not find driver" | 07:05 |
| susundberg | degilnya: i do not understand you, did you test the installation with a script or not? | 07:05 |
| susundberg | degilnya: No idea. did you google for it? It might be output from the .php script? | 07:06 |
| degilnya | yes i created a simple script of php and try to connect to the db with mysql_connect and its successfull | 07:06 |
| dgh | dr_Willis: how about ext3? | 07:06 |
| susundberg | degilnya: or where do you see that? I do not have even clue what is the real problem here | 07:06 |
| dgh | i dont have ext4 option in my gparted | 07:06 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: I had googled "ubuntu 10.04 hp g72 no sound" and got a forum post with compiling directions for the driver but he had left out all the necessary dependancies so it wouldn't work, and I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaaat do I dooooo and then you came along and saved the day. <3 | 07:06 |
| degilnya | emm my question is what common problem is when you got an error of "Error!: could not find driver" | 07:07 |
| degilnya | :( | 07:07 |
| ohzie | degilnya: what is giving you that error | 07:07 |
| degilnya | im thinking maybe php.ini has a problem | 07:08 |
| susundberg | degilnya: oh google for the error | 07:08 |
| degilnya | maybe it doesnt load the extension? :( | 07:08 |
| dgh | ActionParsnip: ? | 07:08 |
| degilnya | emm okay...i will try again after almost 1 day trying :( | 07:08 |
| susundberg | degilnya: you need to troubleshoot little more specific what gives that error | 07:09 |
| degilnya | thanks susundberg | 07:09 |
| susundberg | degilnya: if it is an php script printing that error, try to figure out what line | 07:09 |
| susundberg | degilnya: if its the apache server, try to figure out with what .php file | 07:09 |
| degilnya | emm in windows and in my laptop of ubuntu jaunty its works perfectly | 07:10 |
| degilnya | but in the server of natty its got problem | 07:10 |
| degilnya | the server is managed by other people | 07:10 |
| susundberg | degilnya: well then the server installation is not working with your webpage | 07:10 |
| degilnya | emmm.... | 07:10 |
| degilnya | should i dpkg-reconfigure something? | 07:10 |
| susundberg | degilnya: well maybe the server is then missing soma package that is required by your php script? | 07:11 |
| degilnya | i think so.. but im not sure what package | 07:11 |
| susundberg | Did you try this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2852748/pdoexception-could-not-find-driver | 07:11 |
| susundberg | degilnya: I cant help without more info: what line causes the trouble, sorry | 07:12 |
| degilnya | its ok thanks | 07:12 |

| Firefishe | I'm using Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.04 LTS. I'm experiencing a weird graphic artifact: kde desktop: after locking the screen, and the screen goes black, I move my mouse or trackpad to get the login box to display. Instead of the dialog box displaying its contents properly, all I get is a solid rectangle with nothing showing in it. | 08:08 |
| hdon | hi guys :) i cannot switch users from xscreensaver. choosing "switch user" button returns me to screensaver. WTF. this is an intermittent problem i first noticed about a week ago. fuck-up in xscreensaver or gdm? | 08:09 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: which gfx chip, which driver? | 08:09 |
| Firefishe | I need to know how to get to a default desktop with a new X configuration | 08:09 |
| tonyyarusso | !ohmy | hdon | 08:09 |
| ubottu | hdon: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 08:09 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh: nvidia propritary | 08:09 |
| Firefishe | proprietary | 08:09 |
| hdon | Firefishe, do you want to keep your old setup? | 08:09 |
| Firefishe | hdon: no, it's not that important. | 08:10 |
| hdon | Firefishe, easy thing to do then is blow away config files in your home dir. with .gnome though there might be more in there than just desktop setup stuff | 08:10 |
| bronaugh | hdon: any idea how that actually works? ie, does it start up gdm on vt8 or what? | 08:10 |
| bronaugh | hdon: how does the signalling work? dbus? | 08:10 |
| dgh | anyone does partition ext4? | 08:11 |
| hdon | bronaugh, good question | 08:11 |
| hdon | dgh, ext4 is a filesystem format. a partition is merely an extent of space on your storage media that has been defined in your partition table. do you need help partitioning your hard disk and setting up an ext4 filesytem? | 08:12 |
| dgh | yeah. | 08:12 |
| hdon | tonyyarusso, i'm not sure what part of that credo i may have violated. apologies. | 08:12 |
| dgh | hdon: I tried to use gparted to create partition of ext4 filesystem format | 08:12 |
| hdon | dgh, how did that go? :) | 08:12 |
| dgh | but after ive done that, there is a "lock" symbol on it | 08:12 |
| Firefishe | hdon: this is on the kde desktop, just to let you know. | 08:12 |
| bronaugh | hdon: you used a dirty wordy. | 08:13 |
| dgh | and actually im trying to copy data on UBuntu 6.01 LTS | 08:13 |
| hdon | bronaugh, that's ok, i was being friendly, and i'm 12 | 08:13 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I just checked .gnome, and it's got something I want to keep, although that's not the chief configuration file for this box. It's actually .gnome2/ | 08:13 |
| bronaugh | dgh: heh; I wouldn't really -recommend- ext4 on a crusty distro. they've fixed a -lot- of bugs. | 08:13 |
| hdon | dgh, you may not have to copy that data. do you know you can still mount other filesystems and access them even after you install a new os on another partition? | 08:14 |
| bronaugh | dgh: anyhow, no matter what filesystem, it's partition type 83 or 82 when using MSDOS partitions. don't recall which; fdisk has them all listed. | 08:14 |
| bronaugh | dgh: detection of actual filesystem happens by the first few bytes in the filesystem. | 08:14 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh/hdon: So should that do it? Should I also trash the .config/ directory, as well? | 08:14 |
| hdon | bronaugh, he's using gparted. he has some sort of gui problem. a "lock" icon he said. | 08:14 |
| bronaugh | should say, device or file. | 08:14 |
| sara2010 | http://pastebin.com/NKVqQ02r | 08:14 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: I think there may be a .kde dir? | 08:15 |
| hdon | Firefishe, i recommend not removing them, but just renaming them to something else in case you decide you want something in them later | 08:15 |
| bronaugh | hdon: oh; ok. | 08:15 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh: already gone, but it didn't solve the dialog box problem | 08:15 |
| hdon | Fireblasto, there are easier ways to get to a clean X desktop though | 08:15 |
| hdon | Fireblasto, if you only need to do it once, that is | 08:15 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: it could be unrelated to that. could be a graphics driver bug or other fun screwup. | 08:15 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: how did you install your nvidia drivers? | 08:15 |
| hdon | Firefishe, sorry, said Fireblasto meant Firefishe | 08:15 |
| wildbat | dgh: lock in gparted usually mean mounted so you can modify | 08:15 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh: Considering I've been playing around with e17 and compiz.... ;) | 08:15 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: heh. | 08:16 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I used the gui hardware installer. It just started doing this tonight. Everything's been working without a hitch. | 08:17 |
| Firefishe | hdon: it's just that one thing, all other dialogs are fine. gtk-sudo, etc. | 08:17 |
| Firefishe | it's just *annoying* | 08:17 |
| sara2010 | any one help me | 08:17 |

| BlackDalek | in the old VLC it was like you could just open a capture device and tick the "stream" box and choose a protocol and you were away.... Now you have to go to streaming and fill out multiple pages of forms and questions which no human could ever understand except the programmer who made it. So.. does anyone here know how to stream webcam over a LAN in VLC? | 08:20 |
| morth | i cant find a guide out on how to keybind terminal to mod4 key | 08:20 |
| hdon | morth, i had no luck binding to mod4, i used mod4+space instead. | 08:20 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Well, it's probably something particular to my setup, and not a bug, per se. I think it's a compiz/kwin rendering issue. | 08:20 |
| bronaugh | hdon: there's a simpler way to test that. telnet 192.168.0.110 3389 | 08:21 |
| bronaugh | hdon: nmap is, unsurprisingly, not always installed on people's machines :P | 08:21 |
| morth | hdon ill try that | 08:21 |
| dgh | hdon: im nto sure what you meant | 08:21 |
| dgh | you meant ext4 is not recommended? | 08:22 |
| dgh | i tried with ntfs and fat but they both fail | 08:22 |
| pratz | hey guys i am uisng ubuntu 11.04 and using vim, but crt+ww is not working now , any ideas ?? | 08:22 |
| hdon | Firefishe, still a bug ;) but i understand your methodology. are you able to access other vts? i recommend renaming all everything matching ~/.* and then putting them back until you encounter the bug again. you can use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart if you are unable to utilize the broken/badly-rendered unlock dialog | 08:22 |
| Firefishe | I use kdm, but I get ya | 08:22 |
| hdon | dgh, someone else's comment was that ext4 was not recommended with an older kernel. i said nothing to that effect. another person said that in gparted, the lock icon means that the filesystem has been mounted on your system, and therefore gparted cannot modify it until it is unmounted. run the "mount" command to see all mounted filesystems. | 08:23 |
| Firefishe | Also, I just logged in to my wife's side. It works normally, so this is my own desktop-specific bug. | 08:23 |
| dgh | hdon: oh, so what would you reckon? | 08:23 |
| hdon | bronaugh, you have no idea how angry it makes me that a basic version of nmap isn't installed by default. for that matter, the host(1) command isn't either | 08:23 |
| hdon | dgh, run "mount" read output. see if your ext4 filesystem is mounted. if it is, umount it | 08:23 |
| Firefishe | hdon: So, ideally, I just need to start with a tabula rasa. So how do I completely set up my kde desktop to default parameters? | 08:23 |
| hdon | Firefishe, easy way is probably to mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-backup or something like that | 08:24 |
| bronaugh | hdon: host, yeah, that'd bug me. good reasons not to have nmap ;) | 08:24 |
| hdon | bronaugh, why good reasons not to have nmap? i would accept not dragging in lua etc. | 08:24 |
| sara2010 | hdon, ya i m sure its my network | 08:25 |
| Firefishe | hdon bronaugh, I need to reboot....brb. | 08:25 |
| hdon | Firefishe, wait | 08:25 |
| hdon | Firefishe, are you sure you don't need to just /etc/init.d/gdm restart ? | 08:25 |
| bronaugh | hdon: well; if it's there, naughty people will use it. :) | 08:25 |
| bronaugh | hdon: I agree in principle; most of hmy machines have nmap installed because it's really useful. but yeah. not the best thing to put in a default install. | 08:25 |
| hdon | bronaugh, i don't understand what can go wrong using nmap... what ports are open to me is like index.html | 08:26 |
| pratz | any one using vim, i can not switch windows with crtl+ww, i think ctrl+w mapping is wrong , any ideas are appreciated ?? | 08:26 |
| nkh | Hi Friends, anybody had problem runing pidgin on Lucid lately? | 08:26 |
| morth | hdon how do i keybind it? | 08:26 |
| hdon | sara2010, what did nmap/telnet say? | 08:26 |
| * hdon checks for morth | 08:26 | |
| morth | thanks | 08:26 |
| hdon | morth, System menu, Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts | 08:27 |
| sara2010 | hdon, Host is up (0.00013s latency). | 08:27 |
| sara2010 | PORT STATE SERVICE | 08:27 |
| sara2010 | 3389/tcp closed ms-term-serv | 08:27 |
| Luxe | How do I change wine icons on Ubuntu. | 08:27 |
| BlackDalek | How do I stream webcam over LAN with the current version VLC? Online instructions for doing this apparently don't exist. There are only instructions for doing this with the old version of VLC, which has a totally different GUI or using a windoze wizard... How do I do this using the current version GUI? | 08:27 |
| Luxe | ? | 08:27 |
| nkh | when I run pidgin on Lucid, it's process takes too much of my CPU percentage and it does not run ! I should just kill it ! what's the problem ? | 08:27 |
| hdon | morth, i believe under the Desktop section, there is something called "Run a terminal" that will open a new gnome-terminal window | 08:27 |
| bronaugh | sara2010: ok so brass tacks here. what are you trying to do? | 08:28 |
| Luxe | nkh, how much memory do you have? | 08:28 |
| hdon | sara2010, that port looks closed from your vantage point. do you have other access to this system to diagnose the reason the port is closed? | 08:28 |
| nkh | Luxe: 4 Gig! | 08:28 |
| hdon | bronaugh, she just wants to rdp but it's not open to other LAN computers | 08:28 |
| nkh | Luxe: I't was runing till 6-7 days ago! | 08:28 |
| morth | hdon i keybound it to the terminal but when i use the shortcut it doesn't pop up?... :s | 08:28 |
| Luxe | OH man. | 08:28 |
| Luxe | Try uninstalling then reinstalling. | 08:29 |
| hdon | morth, what key did you bind? | 08:29 |
| bronaugh | hdon: or she's trying to use the wrong tool for the job. | 08:29 |
| nkh | Luxe: Tried , not working , Purged and installed again , no effect! | 08:29 |
| sara2010 | hdon, i hav't close this port.. | 08:29 |
| hdon | Luxe, wut r u doing | 08:29 |
| morth | windows key + space bar | 08:29 |
| hdon | bronaugh, ah, good question. i just assume if someone wants rdp, that's what they want. | 08:29 |
| sara2010 | hdon, how i can open this port | 08:29 |
| Luxe | Eh? | 08:29 |
| nkh | Luxe: nothing usefull found with pidgin --debug , too :( | 08:30 |
| yunosh | hi, is anybody else getting 404s for changelogs from natty-proposed? | 08:30 |
| hdon | sara2010, if your remote desktop configuration listens on the wrong address, then it will appear closed port to some computers. are you able to access this remote system another way? we must take the next step. we need another way to access this system | 08:30 |
| nkh | Luxe: This is end lines of debug : (12:03:27) Session Management: Connected to manager (gnome-session) with client ID 10efeb7cf317711dc413093328071861000000019860104 | 08:31 |
| nkh | (12:03:27) Session Management: Using pidgin as command | 08:31 |
| morth | hdon windows key + space | 08:31 |
| bronaugh | sara2010: do you have local access to the computer at 192.168.0.110? | 08:31 |
| sara2010 | hdon, which way ? | 08:31 |
| hdon | nkh, i have heard of this problem popping up in the past. temporary solution: mv ~/.gaim (or ~/.pidgin) to ~/.gaim-backup and run pidgin again. it should run fine, but all your pidgin data will appear to be gone. | 08:31 |
| hdon | morth, oh... hmm... | 08:32 |
| bronaugh | sara2010: if you do, check whether the port is open locally using netstat. | 08:32 |
| hdon | sara2010, does the system have a keyboard and mouse? | 08:32 |
| hdon | (and display) | 08:32 |
| sara2010 | bronaugh, ya i have access | 08:32 |
| nkh | Luxe: it stucks after these lines ! | 08:32 |
| sara2010 | hdon, yes system have keyboard mouse display | 08:33 |
| nkh | hdon: mmm, cool solution , i'll try it soon , tnx | 08:33 |
| bronaugh | sara2010: what OS does the machine run? | 08:34 |
| sara2010 | bronaugh, ubuntu 10.10 | 08:34 |
| hdon | sara2010, ok, do you have root access on that system? | 08:34 |
| hdon | bronaugh, good eye.. i would have never thought it wasn't ubuntu for some reason... | 08:35 |
| sara2010 | hdon, yes i have root access | 08:35 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh, hdon: Apparently, logging in and out and rebooting seems to have cured the artifact. | 08:35 |
| bronaugh | Firefishe: yeah. driver screwups. | 08:35 |
| Firefishe | bronaugh: Well, it appears to be fine, now. I'm going to rebuild my deskltop now...sheesh! ;) | 08:36 |
| Firefishe | desktop even | 08:36 |
| bronaugh | sara2010: so both the machine you're trying to log into the other machine with, and the machine you're trying to log into, are running ubuntu? | 08:36 |
| Firefishe | Thanks for the help | 08:36 |
| Firefishe | :) | 08:36 |
| oberon4mine | Hello everyone | 08:36 |
| oberon4mine | I'm using Lubuntu right now | 08:36 |
| Firefishe | lxde? | 08:36 |
| morth | hdon i got it working, had to add a new keyline and add gnome-terminal, the default didn't work. | 08:36 |
| oberon4mine | what us lxde? | 08:36 |
| sara2010 | bronaugh, yes both are ubuntu 10.10 | 08:37 |
| hdon | lsof -i4TCP:3389 # trying to help sara2010 see if her remote desktop daemon is listening on the correct address, but i can't remember how to get lsof to only give processes that are listening for incoming tcp connection requests | 08:37 |
| oberon4mine | oh yep, I am using lxde | 08:37 |
| Firefishe | Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment...it's a window manager/desktop based on QT, similar to xfce | 08:37 |
| hdon | morth, haha, very weird! thanks for the tip :) | 08:37 |
| Firefishe | but more similar to kde | 08:37 |
| bronaugh | hdon: ok, so is there any rdesktop -server- for ubuntu or a reason to use one on ubuntu? | 08:37 |
| morth | hdon thanks for the effort. | 08:37 |
| hdon | bronaugh, dunno, scarcely ever used rdp | 08:38 |
| bronaugh | yeah. seems like she's trying to use rdp to a ubuntu host. | 08:38 |
| bronaugh | seems like wrong way to do it. | 08:38 |
| morth | hdon actually, is there any way i can make it so i only hae to use mod4 (win key), rather than mod4+space? | 08:38 |
| morth | hdon it doesn't do anything if i only click mod4, but if i do a combo it works :s | 08:39 |
| hdon | sara2010, on 192.168.0.110, run as root: lsof -i4TCP:22 -sTCP:LISTEN | 08:39 |
| hdon | sara2010, sorry | 08:40 |
| hdon | sara2010, on 192.168.0.110, run as root: lsof -i4TCP:3389 -sTCP:LISTEN | 08:40 |
| hdon | sara2010, that command will output all processes listening for port 3389 (remote desktop) TCP connections. give us the output | 08:40 |
| hdon | sara2010, the output will tell us if it is listening on the correct address to allow you to connect | 08:40 |
| hdon | morth, i've tried that many times on ubuntu :( never got it to work | 08:40 |
| sara2010 | root@ubuntumgc:~# lsof -i4TCP:3389 -sTCP:LISTEN | 08:41 |
| sara2010 | root@ubuntumgc:~# | 08:41 |
| morth | hdon okay, if i figure it out ill be sure to tell you. | 08:41 |
| sara2010 | hdon, i hav't got any output | 08:41 |
| hdon | morth, ok, but /msg it to me or i will miss it! | 08:41 |
| hdon | sara2010, that implies that no process is listening on port 3389 at all! is 192.168.0.110 an ubuntu system? | 08:42 |
| hdon | anyone know how i can download a package, list the files in it, but not install? | 08:43 |
| sara2010 | hdon, yes its ubuntu 10.10 | 08:43 |
| yesitisjustme | can you use unbuntu with 256mb ram? | 08:43 |
| hdon | sara2010, can you pastebin the output of dpkg -L xrdp | 08:44 |
| sara2010 | ok | 08:44 |
| hdon | yesitisjustme, i wouldn't recommend the gnome desktop environment, but yes you can | 08:44 |
| hdon | yesitisjustme, when i had that much RAM i used fluxbox | 08:44 |
| arvut | yesitisjustme: lxde should work, possibly also xfce. haven't tried it tho. got no pc with less than 512 ram | 08:44 |
| * hdon prefers fluxbox over other lightweight WMs | 08:44 | |
| hamnegga | gnome is the best, don't know what the hell hdon is talking about. | 08:44 |
| hdon | hamnegga, we're talking about desktop environments that work well with low memory footprint | 08:45 |
| wildbat | hamnegga: use gnome with 256 mb ram you will know XD | 08:45 |
| sara2010 | hdon, http://pastebin.com/cqTzGwwW | 08:45 |
| hamnegga | yeah, and gnome is deinitely lighter than any kde release | 08:45 |
| hdon | sara2010, ok, xrdp is the package a user would typically install to run a remote desktop server. have you done this yet? | 08:46 |
| Firefishe | hdon: flux is a great wm. :) | 08:46 |
| hamnegga | I have, with compiz also | 08:46 |
| hdon | Firefishe, i wrote a bunch of patches for it but never submitted them :( | 08:46 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Well, is the project still going? | 08:46 |
| hdon | Firefishe, dunno | 08:46 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Do they work on your system? | 08:46 |
| hdon | Firefishe, fluxbox? | 08:46 |
| Firefishe | the patches for flux that you wrote: do they work on your system? | 08:47 |
| yesitisjustme | ok | 08:47 |
| sara2010 | hdon, http://pastebin.com/WFpygmu6 | 08:47 |
| hdon | ah, have no idea! where is that machine i was doing that on anyway... | 08:47 |
| Firefishe | hdon: heh | 08:47 |
| hdon | sara2010, did you just install xrdp? | 08:47 |
| hdon | Firefishe, that was a dark time in my life, when i had my machines taken away and had to work on a 100mhz pentium 1 D: | 08:48 |
| hdon | Firefishe, but i learned way more about Linux APIs in that period than any other period in my life | 08:48 |
| hdon | i wrote this whole server-generator framework in C preprocessor macros... | 08:48 |
| sara2010 | hdon, done thankssssssss alot | 08:48 |
| hdon | sara2010, ok great :) have a good one | 08:49 |
| sara2010 | hdon, means we were missing xrdp ? write ? | 08:49 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I see. Quite the 'nix fellow, eh? :) | 08:49 |
| hdon | sara2010, indeed | 08:49 |
| hdon | Firefishe, well these days i work on solaris as much as linux, though anywhere i go i expect the modern conveniences of GNU extensions | 08:50 |
| sara2010 | hdon, well thanks alot! | 08:50 |
| hdon | sara2010, np have a good one | 08:50 |
| hdon | sara2010, don't go remote-desktop-eavesdropping now | 08:50 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I'm not really much of a *doze person, anymore, save for eve online ;)...can't get away from it for that, but I digress. I want to learn more about gnu/linux-in-general, to the point of wanting to set up comps for desktop linux. | 08:50 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I've played with Solaris 6/06 and OpenSolaris | 08:50 |
| morth | anyone know a nice dark theme for ubuntu? | 08:51 |
| sara2010 | hdon, why its not good to use remote desktop ? | 08:51 |
| hdon | Firefishe, for linux experience... as a desktop experience, i think i have learned less than as a server experience. try renting a shell server someplace cheap and use linux that way :) | 08:51 |
| hdon | sara2010, i'm sorry if i was unclear.. i only meant you should not use remote desktop to spy on people :) | 08:51 |
| Azrael91 | irc://freenode/ChanServ,isnick d | 08:52 |
| hdon | wat | 08:52 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I remember shell accounts. ;-) I started my UNIX experience on an old freenet using telnet. I remember using ircii as my very first irc experience, and pine as my email client. | 08:52 |
| Firefishe | and that login said System V ;) | 08:53 |
| hdon | Firefishe, heheh | 08:53 |
| hdon | System V was way before any *nix experience i had | 08:53 |
| hdon | computer experience, even | 08:53 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Well, perhaps it was BSD, I don't remember. | 08:53 |
| sara2010 | hdon, i want support to my client by remote ! | 08:54 |
| Firefishe | hdon: All I know is I'm not 45, enamored with linux--and want to make a living using it somehow. | 08:54 |
| hdon | sara2010, ah, good :) | 08:54 |
| Firefishe | not=nwo | 08:54 |
| Firefishe | not-now (/etc/init.d/typodaemon set off) | 08:54 |
| ttiicc | Im fine with apt but just wonder why aptitude is not included from the start with ubuntu | 08:54 |
| hdon | Firefishe, you're new world order 45! | 08:54 |
| sara2010 | hdon, i m not going to spy on users :) | 08:55 |
| Firefishe | not=now....I can't type tonight | 08:55 |
| hdon | sara2010, good :) have a nice day | 08:55 |
| hdon | Firefishe, :P | 08:55 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I stopped aging when I turned 18 ; | 08:55 |
| Firefishe | ;) | 08:55 |
| cantor | anyone able to answer a tor question? | 08:55 |
| Erik500002 | Hey guys anyone here have issues with the ath9k driver in ubuntu? Can't seem to connect to any network | 08:55 |
| hdon | Firefishe, i was very intensely dedicated to cross-platform development circa 2000, but then Apple stabbed the community in the back several times, and i just got tired of trying to unify the computer community | 08:55 |
| hdon | cantor, good nick. i can try. | 08:56 |
| hdon | also: don't ask to ask | 08:56 |
| hdon | ?ask | 08:56 |
| hdon | !ask | 08:56 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 08:56 |
| hdon | there we go | 08:56 |
| wizard42 | Hi #! Got a problem with gdm - since update to natty gdm doesnt store session type per user -- thus it tries to login everyone with Ubuntu->Unity ... | 08:56 |
| hdon | ?ask cantor | 08:56 |
| hdon | !ask cantor | 08:56 |
| FloodBot1 | hdon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:56 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Are you someone of note, hdon? You seem very well structured in 'nix-in-general. | 08:56 |
| hdon | Firefishe, not really | 08:56 |
| ttiicc | could someone answer the question I just asked? | 08:56 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I'm also a former os-x user. | 08:56 |
| cantor | thx, Question: I setup a tor box on my local network (10.04). Can I proxy through tor that machine from a laptop on the same local network? | 08:57 |
| hdon | ttiicc, about default package installation? good luck | 08:57 |
| Firefishe | hdon: hell, I'm a former Mac SE/30 user ;) hee | 08:57 |
| hdon | Firefishe, i owned an Apple IIc+ growing up | 08:57 |
| ttiicc | hdon: what do you mean? | 08:57 |
| hdon | ttiicc, sorry i thought your question was about aptitude not being installed by default or something | 08:57 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I used an Apple IIc, and IIe in high school my senior year. That was 1984. ;) | 08:57 |
| cantor | in other words, I do not want to run tor on each of my machines, I want a tor server on my local net work that I can hit from inside my local net | 08:58 |
| hdon | Firefishe, (nobody remembers the IIc+ so i'd be understanding if you told me you didn't think it exists!) | 08:58 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Right alongside the C64s and the one TRS-80 | 08:58 |
| ttiicc | hdon: yeahh I wonder why aptitude dosn't come default installed with ubuntu | 08:58 |
| hdon | cantor, 1s.. | 08:58 |
| hdon | ttiicc, you will not really be able to get that sort of question addressed here, IMHO | 08:58 |
| cantor | hdon, ls..?? | 08:58 |
| hdon | cantor, 1s = one sec | 08:58 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Oh, I believe you. Just like people might not remember the Commodore 128 (C128) | 08:58 |
| cantor | ah, thx | 08:58 |
| hdon | cantor, the answer is yes. first question: have you tried? | 08:59 |
| ttiicc | hdon: hehehe okej, do you know why? | 08:59 |
| hdon | ttiicc: pure speculation: apt-get is more basic, less things can go wrong. aptitude is a bigger package, more complex, more things could go wrong. idk just guessing | 09:00 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I prefer apt-get to most anything. Easy to use, nice and simple. | 09:00 |
| cantor | hdon, yeah, I have tor and polipo installed at the moment, they both start. I looked in the /etc/torrc and it looks like there is a config I set to do it, but nothing I have tried works. | 09:00 |
| hdon | Firefishe, some people prefer to use aptitude, even without its TUI, because it has better dependency resolution or something. | 09:00 |
| cantor | correction: /etc/tor/torrc | 09:01 |
| ttiicc | hdon: okej thanks | 09:01 |
| hdon | i have found once in a while that, magically, aptitude accomplishes with grace what apt-get could not | 09:01 |
| hdon | but that has been rare | 09:01 |
| ttiicc | hdon: thought that ubuntu maybe never installs per default twp packages that does the same job | 09:01 |
| hdon | cantor, you'll want to configure tor on your one machine to accept connections incoming from other addresses on your LAN. to do this, you'll want to bind to your LAN address. does your tor server system have a static LAN IP? | 09:01 |
| Firefishe | hdon: I've used aptitude on occasion. I usually use synaptic to find things if I need to read the descriptions a bit easier, but mostly I do updates/upgrades/installs using apt-get. | 09:02 |
| hdon | ttiicc, that probably also | 09:02 |
| szal | hdon: nah, because it tracks what pkgs it installs & removes pkgs installed as dependencies automatically if they're not needed by anything else | 09:02 |
| szal | hdon: when you uninstall stuff, that is | 09:02 |
| hdon | szal, apt-get can do that | 09:02 |
| ttiicc | hdon: okej thanks, Im new with ubuntu, Im used to use debian. there both apt and aptitude comes as default | 09:02 |
| cantor | hdon, technically Im using dhcp, but i have tomato on my router and it fixes the local IP so that it does not change | 09:02 |
| hdon | but, i won't argue because, i've *seen* aptitude with my own eyes perform where apt-get wouldn't | 09:02 |
| leex_ | hello | 09:03 |
| hdon | cantor, ok, easy solution then: set the SocksListenAddress to your LAN IP | 09:03 |
| Firefishe | hdon: it does offer a lot of useful scenarios to get your system at least working; I do like that feature. | 09:03 |
| hdon | cantor, then /etc/init.d/tor restart | 09:03 |
| cantor | the tor servers lan IP? | 09:03 |
| hdon | cantor, yes, in the torrc of your tor proxy server | 09:03 |
| cantor | 192.168.1.101 or whatever, k | 09:04 |
| hdon | cantor, then nmap -PN -sT -p 9050 lan.ip.addr.here | 09:04 |
| hdon | ttiicc, i recommend going back to debian. i dont' like ubuntu. | 09:05 |
| hdon | but i'm also afraid that the debian community may have collapsed now that ubuntu exists | 09:05 |
| ttiicc | I've switched company and will be forced to use ubuntu | 09:05 |
| torturedsoul | i can't for the life of me get ubuntu to boot from a usb stick | 09:05 |
| hdon | ttiicc, ah ok. hope you enjoy it then :) | 09:05 |
| Firefishe | brb | 09:05 |
| austin_ | sorry to eavesdrop but why not just use the nmap gui | 09:05 |
| torturedsoul | any1 know how to do it? | 09:05 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, some USB sticks will NEVER be bootable. it's a fact of USB sticks. | 09:05 |
| austin_ | which allows you to set up the scanning techniques | 09:05 |
| hdon | austin_, idk, what's the nmap gui? | 09:06 |
| ttiicc | why have you been trying ubuntu? and what's the annoyng with it? | 09:06 |
| hdon | austin_, just to check if one port is open... seems a GUI is asking too much | 09:06 |
| cantor | hdon, should I comment out SocksListenAddress 127.0.0.1 and put SocksListenAddress lan.ip.addr? | 09:06 |
| hdon | cantor, if you wish | 09:06 |
| torturedsoul | hdon its a new stick... 4gb | 09:06 |
| torturedsoul | surely it is bootable | 09:06 |
| synthesist | Any Thunderbird help available? | 09:06 |
| austin_ | graphical user interface. If you installed it through package manager there are guis for it that also install nmap and config just how you need it to work with that gui | 09:07 |
| austin_ | if you want to check one port I recomment | 09:07 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, unfortunately i am not very knowledgeable about the technical limitations of non-bootable USB sticks, so i can't help, only offering you the possibility that it is crapstick :( | 09:07 |
| torturedsoul | its brand new | 09:07 |
| austin_ | nmap -sS -PN -p 80 IPADDRESS | 09:07 |
| torturedsoul | from a big brand name | 09:07 |
| whowantstolivefo | hi people , i use ubuntu 11.04. i lost applications menu on menubar of natty, how can i get back this ? | 09:07 |
| torturedsoul | i doubt it is the stick's fault | 09:07 |
| hdon | austin_, does the GUI show you the command-line equivalent of the GUI? i would find that to be awesome :) | 09:07 |
| austin_ | the PN will immediatly test that port without first seeing if it's an alive host | 09:07 |
| austin_ | yes it does | 09:07 |
| austin_ | in fact it helps you create commands lol | 09:08 |
| thangam_arun | Hello | 09:08 |
| torturedsoul | if there is some tut on the internet i can try again | 09:08 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, i have found that big brand names mean nothing for obscure feature incompatibilities like this, but i am disinclined to have an argument about speculation | 09:08 |
| austin_ | PN is helpful I happen to know because it tests that one port and doesn't see if the host is alive | 09:08 |
| austin_ | which many hosts drop packets | 09:08 |
| hdon | austin_, that's awesome ) | 09:08 |
| hdon | :) | 09:08 |
| torturedsoul | so you've personally heard of new flash sticks that just wont boot | 09:08 |
| austin_ | not to get bashed but I use windows as my main OS khem | 09:09 |
| ttiicc | hdon: As Im going to do what you already have done, wonder which parts of ubuntu do you think is not good compared to debian | 09:09 |
| austin_ | with windows there is a gui with nmap called zenmap | 09:09 |
| nexace | how to you determine which video driver you are using from command line? | 09:09 |
| austin_ | but there are guis almost identical for linux | 09:09 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, one possibility to ease your testing cycle: run an emulator and tell that to boot off your stick. then you don't have to reboot your real machine every time you try again. on the other hand, a positive test in the emulator won't mean a positive result on the real thing,.. but i highly doubt a negative result in a emulator will EVER mean a negative result on a real machine | 09:09 |
| torturedsoul | i'll just use a dvd | 09:09 |
| torturedsoul | ok | 09:09 |
| torturedsoul | where can i get an emulator and an instructions.txt | 09:09 |
| hdon | ttiicc, many small issues. it seems they are very negligent of features that coders / "power users" use. i have had problems with ALT+TAB, for instance | 09:10 |
| hdon | brb | 09:10 |
| austin_ | hdon another option is Metasploit. Check it out lol. I don't know if you have it or not but it allows you to run known exploits and it has nmap built in command line only | 09:10 |
| austin_ | lol | 09:10 |
| austin_ | but you can actually see if a host is vulnerable. It's script kiddie stuff but it gets the job done for on the surface network security checking | 09:11 |
| ttiicc | hdon: ok then I know | 09:11 |
| nexace | how to you determine which video driver you are using from command line? | 09:11 |
| ttiicc | hdon: which language do you program in? | 09:13 |
| cantor | hdon, nmap says 9050/tcp open tor-socks | 09:14 |
| hdon | austin_, i'm familiar with metasploit, but i guess i stayed away from it because i don't know ruby :\ | 09:14 |
| hdon | cantor, you seem golden then :) | 09:14 |
| austin_ | hdon you don't need to know ruby to use it. lol. Also if you want to see if a port is open on your computer to the WAN wide area network there's a site called canyouseeme | 09:15 |
| hdon | cantor, for a real test, open firefox network preferences on another system, and set ip.ad.dr.res:9050 as your HTTP proxy. go to any URL and you should get a page telling you that TOR is not an HTTP proxy | 09:15 |
| austin_ | but if it's LAN it won't matter | 09:15 |
| torturedsoul | well i've managed to boot a distro called tiny linux with it | 09:15 |
| cantor | hdon, so, I should be change firefox proxy on the laptop to proxy through tor? | 09:15 |
| hdon | austin_, yeah but... i don't really like to use software i can't hack if i want to | 09:15 |
| cantor | should be *able to* change | 09:15 |
| hdon | austin_, ah yes, but these users didn't want to know if they were internet-visible, just LAN/VPN visible | 09:15 |
| austin_ | lol ahh I see ;). MEtasploit free is open source | 09:16 |
| austin_ | by the way lol | 09:16 |
| cantor | oh, you said that | 09:16 |
| austin_ | and has plenty of tools | 09:16 |
| torturedsoul | hdon | 09:16 |
| torturedsoul | please elaborate on the emulator thing | 09:16 |
| torturedsoul | i've never heard of it before | 09:16 |
| hdon | cantor, well, there's a little more effort possibly... i do not trust software to ensure my privacy without thoroughly checking it out. in my exploration of tor, i still have yet to see how DNS name lookups happen on Firefox when using TOR configured as a SOCKS proxy. | 09:16 |
| torturedsoul | do u mean use a virtual machine? | 09:16 |
| torturedsoul | but they dont accept usb sticks | 09:17 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, actually i have a question for you: what are you trying to boot? | 09:17 |
| torturedsoul | ubuntu | 09:17 |
| torturedsoul | latest iso | 09:17 |
| hdon | cantor, so, cantor, i think your connections will all be encrypted over tor, but i think DNS requests will NOT be routed through TOR using the technique i described. is that a problem? | 09:17 |
| austin_ | hdon it's almost impossible to see who you are using tor. IF you know about tor it's a huge mix where you don't know the source etc. routed through like 3 ip's as a chain | 09:17 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| whowantstolivefo | hi people , i use ubuntu 11.04. i lost applications menu on menubar of natty, how can i get back this ? | 09:18 |
| austin_ | an encrypted chain at that I believe... | 09:18 |
| hdon | austin_, i'm familiar. what remains a mystery to me is whether Firefox resolves DNS names through a SOCKS proxy | 09:18 |
| hdon | whowantstolivefo, do you still have the panel where the menu appeared? | 09:19 |
| austin_ | hmmmm....I think it would have too. | 09:19 |
| torturedsoul | hate restarting my laptop 20 times | 09:19 |
| austin_ | that's done via another computer which isn't a big deal at all | 09:19 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, sorry for the late responses... | 09:20 |
| cantor | austin_, I think the security concerns for tor are fears of a government agency seeing what you are doing... | 09:20 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, yeah ok, so do you have a gnu/lniux system already? | 09:20 |
| austin_ | another thing you might find interesting I happen to know of a small open source too that allows you to drop straight to a tor exit node | 09:20 |
| torturedsoul | no, just windows 7 | 09:20 |
| austin_ | it isn't as secure as normal tor | 09:20 |
| austin_ | but it's faster | 09:20 |
| austin_ | it's always a balance of security vs usability | 09:20 |
| hdon | cantor, if your ISP sends you fraudulent DNS responses, TOR will not protect you | 09:20 |
| cantor | hdon, I agree | 09:20 |
| cantor | ISPs usually do not do that unless the government asks them to | 09:21 |
| hdon | austin_, what do you mean about "straight to a tor exit node?" | 09:21 |
| austin_ | mmmm instead of using a route a chain of 3 or more ip's it only uses 1 as a proxy | 09:21 |
| austin_ | i.e. an exit node :) you're still proxied | 09:21 |
| torturedsoul | my eset antivirus/firewall software keeps saying 'dns poisning attack'... hope its not my isp ha | 09:21 |
| austin_ | just not proxy chained | 09:21 |
| fajri | how install corel x4 in ubuntu 10.10 | 09:22 |
| hdon | austin_, ah, yeah, sure | 09:22 |
| hdon | austin_, for that matter, a tor node doesn't really need to know where you're coming from (another tor node?) or where you're going (another tor node?) | 09:22 |
| cantor | i2p uses three or more if Im not connected | 09:22 |
| austin_ | it depends on whom is controlling the exit node for the most part I don't think it would matter no | 09:22 |
| austin_ | but it isn't as secure as regualr tor | 09:22 |
| austin_ | no matter how you cut it | 09:22 |
| austin_ | but | 09:23 |
| austin_ | it's way faster | 09:23 |
| FloodBot1 | austin_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:23 |
| cantor | what isnt as secure, i2p? | 09:23 |
| austin_ | not having to route through a bunch of ip's.. mmm no there's a program I know a guy developed you compile it yourseld I've used it works fine that on linux drops you straight to an exit node so you're only proxying through 1 ip instead of many ip's | 09:23 |
| austin_ | it isn't as secure as using tor normally but it is faster hence it only has to pass through 1 node vs's many nodes to get to you | 09:24 |
| hdon | austin_, if you are running a Tor node, eavesdroppers cannot really be certain *any* connections from your system are *yours* | 09:25 |
| hdon | austin_, similarly, going through one tor node is anonymizing | 09:25 |
| torturedsoul | soooooooooo hdonnnn | 09:25 |
| austin_ | probably not at this point no :). There's not enough people using this tool. | 09:25 |
| austin_ | Hence moxy marlin | 09:25 |
| torturedsoul | emulation.. | 09:25 |
| austin_ | made a good tool which uses tor only faster | 09:25 |
| Luxe | How do I see all my system information? (like about my Computer) | 09:25 |
| hdon | austin_, the purpose of routing through multiple nodes and negotiating encrypted channels within each other is to prevent any one node from knowing who you are | 09:26 |
| Luxe | Like a sysinfo thing. | 09:26 |
| hdon | austin_, if you trust a particular tor node a lot, sure, proxy into it | 09:26 |
| Luxe | Is there a terminal command? | 09:26 |
| austin_ | hdon true again it isn't as secure but it makes the job easy. you also don't HAVE to use it you can just turn it on if you want to | 09:26 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, sorry i am.. having a bit of a physiological problem right now... did you say you have gnu/linux system already? | 09:26 |
| torturedsoul | ;) just windows 7 | 09:26 |
| austin_ | if you want faster tor service that's less secure | 09:26 |
| * hdon lols | 09:27 | |
| hdon | not so much :P | 09:27 |
| hdon | however | 09:27 |
| hdon | i have been researching how easy or hard it is | 09:27 |
| hdon | to maintain an anonymous persona on the net using tor | 09:27 |
| hdon | i've found many websites block known tor nodes | 09:27 |
| austin_ | yes they do. Hdon are you farmiliar with freenet? | 09:27 |
| hdon | austin_, no what's that | 09:27 |
| torturedsoul | in my opinion there is no need to do all that bouncing around in tor | 09:28 |
| torturedsoul | just get a vps in Iran, setup openvpn... enjoy | 09:28 |
| torturedsoul | iran would never comply with any isp requests or whatever | 09:28 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, lol... the point of tor is that you do not trust a single administrator to protect your anonymity. a vps will not do that. | 09:28 |
| hdon | i mean, a vpn | 09:28 |
| torturedsoul | if you own the vps, you can trust it | 09:28 |
| austin_ | it's about as anonymous as you can get It's generally used on windows but I think it DOES work with wine. BAsically it's all encrypted it uses a small part of your computer (the size you choose) that holds encrypted information not even you know what it is | 09:28 |
| hdon | s/single administrator/single point of failure | 09:28 |
| torturedsoul | im in china i have one in california | 09:28 |
| austin_ | it's an entire network seperate from the rest of the inernet you use your browser etc. | 09:29 |
| torturedsoul | running centos | 09:29 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, it's difficult to trust your own computer, let alone a VPS that isn't even in your home! | 09:29 |
| torturedsoul | works good | 09:29 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, awesome :) | 09:29 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, who is your provider in cali? | 09:29 |
| austin_ | the longer you are on Freenet the faster it goes. IT's impossible to trace anything you're doing on freenet | 09:29 |
| hdon | i also have a vps in cali | 09:29 |
| torturedsoul | ubiquity | 09:29 |
| hdon | austin_, this is beginning to sound familiar... encrypted chunks of files on a p2p network? | 09:29 |
| austin_ | hdon so to speak. There's a huge readup on freenet you could look at. It's worth it in my opinion. | 09:30 |
| torturedsoul | the only problem is internet is so slow here that its just alnost not usable for anything but text websites | 09:30 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, ubiquity networks? | 09:30 |
| mac_nibblet | is it possible to reset the cryptpassowrd on the harddrives somehow? | 09:30 |
| hdon | ubiquiti? | 09:30 |
| austin_ | you can even start your OWN freenet web site that's untraceable lol | 09:30 |
| torturedsoul | yea | 09:30 |
| hdon | mac_nibblet, it better fscking not be | 09:30 |
| austin_ | viewable to others on freenet but hosted in tiny bits encrypted all accross the world | 09:30 |
| torturedsoul | i chose them because they have good networks between usa and asia on the mimsa network or whatever it is called | 09:30 |
| austin_ | your own truly anonymous web page :) | 09:31 |
| cantor | truly anon using what? | 09:31 |
| mac_nibblet | hdon, the morron who installed our local server has forgotten the password | 09:31 |
| cantor | lol | 09:31 |
| hdon | austin_, if you have any whitepapers on using/developing freenet and its capabilities, please link me :) | 09:31 |
| torturedsoul | so hdon about that emulation... | 09:31 |
| cantor | freenet=/=i2p? | 09:31 |
| torturedsoul | and i wouldnt trust tor, its actually shrinking | 09:32 |
| austin_ | freenet has nothing to do with conventional proxies like i2p or tor :) | 09:32 |
| austin_ | http://wiki.freenetproject.org/CreatingFreenetWebsites | 09:32 |
| torturedsoul | used to be alot more routers | 09:32 |
| hdon | mac_nibblet, i don't know much about ubuntu encrypted filesystems, but probably there is a file on the disk that contains the key for the encrypted filesystem, and that file needs to be decrypted with a user's password or something | 09:32 |
| austin_ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet | 09:32 |
| torturedsoul | now its like 400 nodes and half are probably governmen | 09:32 |
| austin_ | wikipedia's article is right on with it too | 09:32 |
| hdon | mac_nibblet, i suggest trying to crack the user password | 09:32 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, yeah i have been thinking about auditing the exit nodes i come out of on tor | 09:33 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, like, write down ip, see who owns it | 09:33 |
| austin_ | you can download freenet for free I think it should work through wine. Deff works on windows. Free. You can start browing right away you connect locally to it just like tor hdon. The longer you are on the faster it is as well | 09:33 |
| torturedsoul | i wouldnt run an exit, police will show up in no time at all | 09:33 |
| cantor | austin_, is freenet IP based? | 09:33 |
| torturedsoul | althought i think ubiqutiy doesnt mind running one on their vps | 09:34 |
| austin_ | cantor no | 09:34 |
| torturedsoul | but why waste my bandwidth to help pedo's ha | 09:34 |
| cantor | that sounds like i2p | 09:34 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, how much do you pay for your vps? | 09:34 |
| cantor | the wikipage sounds like i2p also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freenet | 09:34 |
| austin_ | freenet is it's own network having nothing to do much with the normal internet | 09:34 |
| torturedsoul | 28 dollars a month | 09:34 |
| austin_ | that tor/i2p is used for viewing even though it's a network too :) | 09:34 |
| torturedsoul | 512mb ram, 1000mb port, 500gb month bandwidth | 09:34 |
| cantor | austin_, neither does I2p | 09:35 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, save a child, run a tor node ? (lol) | 09:35 |
| torturedsoul | i'll consider saving a child if u tell me about how to emulate | 09:35 |
| torturedsoul | or how to install ubuntu on usb ;) | 09:35 |
| austin_ | cantor i2p is similair not the same | 09:35 |
| austin_ | is the best I can explain it. | 09:35 |
| cantor | i2p does not is not based IP, it has IP based exists, but the addressing is a 512 digit number, not IP | 09:35 |
| ubuntu__1 | ok , such a bad design to go mucking with bootloader before the system installs ESPECAILLY on multiboot systems... | 09:35 |
| cantor | oh, ok | 09:35 |
| === ubuntu__1 is now known as robeph | ||
| robeph | derp | 09:35 |
| cantor | it is nice to see another darknet :-) | 09:36 |
| robeph | oops ok anyhow.. So the installer crashes and basically wrecked my previous grub install | 09:36 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, so, an emulator *can* access your usb stick. you just have to configure your virtual machine to emulate a USB stick, and point it at your /dev/whatever USB stick block device. of course, your USB stick may present itself to your machine as multiple devices. | 09:36 |
| austin_ | cantor freenet is essentially a darknet yes | 09:36 |
| hdon | torturedsoul, my favorite are usb sticks that present a CD-ROM drive with an autoplay program to run on your computer :| | 09:36 |
| cantor | austin_, why pick freenet over i2p? or would you? | 09:36 |
| robeph | Anyhow, so heres my question since I don't want to go through and manually rebuild grub... | 09:36 |
| hdon | whatever happened to piratebay p2p dns? | 09:37 |
| robeph | where the hell does ubuntu install stage files for grub | 09:37 |
| austin_ | cantor; because freenet has a lot of unique content and I don't just mean illegal shit which I don't condone but it has a lot of intenreting political pages etc. | 09:37 |
| robeph | since it doesn't follow the standard build locations | 09:37 |
| austin_ | that you can't get to see normally | 09:37 |
| austin_ | it's almost like internet 2 | 09:37 |
| austin_ | so to speak | 09:37 |
| robeph | #ubuntu-offtopic.... just saying | 09:38 |
| cantor | austin_, interesting | 09:38 |
| hdon | austin_, screencaps of ONE thing you can't find on Internet plz | 09:38 |

| austin_ | much at all I don't care lol. I'm not no....cantor it's a darknet is the best I could describe it | 09:40 |
| robeph | cantor: seriously this isn't ubuntu related, take it to the offtopic channel, not a hard rule to follow | 09:40 |
| hdon | swifty__, .gvfs is probably a Fuse FS, so perhaps not unusual for directory to not exist if it hasn't been loaded for some reason.. | 09:40 |
| robeph | you're spamming up the support channel with irrelevant stuff, thanks | 09:40 |
| austin_ | you set aside memory on your computer as much as you can donate so to speak and not even you know what it is ;) it's just a bunch of encrypted nonsense | 09:40 |

| robeph | but no | 09:45 |
| robeph | basically this is what happened | 09:45 |
| robeph | installing via cd, installer botched and failed | 09:45 |
| orioni | where can i find the lzma compression fingerprint pattern ? | 09:45 |
| hdon | swifty__, doing a bit to figure out what might cause your problem.. not an expert with gnome vfs | 09:45 |
| robeph | it already mucked with my bootloader for some reason (SHOULD be last step, always, but *shrug*) | 09:45 |
| maedox | orioni: the pattern? the few bytes that correspond to lzma? | 09:46 |
| robeph | so now I can't boot to my other OS' since it demanded I install a bootloader with no option to use my already isntalled bootloader...it didn't install stage files | 09:46 |
| robeph | I booted to live | 09:46 |
| robeph | installed grub | 09:46 |
| robeph | but still no stage files for manual setup | 09:46 |
| robeph | also not found in /usr/share/grub | 09:46 |
| hdon | robeph, yikes... | 09:46 |
| ch7r | hi to all | 09:46 |
| robeph | where they usually go when building from source | 09:46 |
| robeph | I didn't wanna build from source | 09:46 |
| austin_ | anyway on a final note lol. It really is kind of irrelevant, but then again no offense so is Linux. EVen though I know more about it than I care too I personally think it's inferior OS that for me is a toy that has SOME GOOD OPEN SOURCE software I can use on vbox. I used to have to use linux for a company I worked for via their web servers and I hated every minute of it. That being said if you want to make things anonymous online the gover | 09:46 |
| austin_ | nment can't stop you you could 256 bit AES encrypt something and email with a password only you and your friend knows. I just don't care I'm not doing anything illegal so for me it isn't an issue and I don't have freenet or tor anymore there was a time my curiosity got the best of me and I like to "try things" and see how freenet works etc. out of curiosity years about when I was like 18. Now I don't care and I'm not talking about anomnity | 09:46 |
| austin_ | stuff anymore lol. It almost sounds like paranoia. If you're not doing anything illegal I don't think you have anything to worry about. | 09:46 |
| robeph | but I can, cos I DO know how to do this =\ | 09:46 |
| FloodBot1 | austin_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:46 |
| robeph | wow, really? | 09:46 |
| robeph | (and that's what I meant about spamming it up with offtopic >:\) | 09:47 |
| robeph | any ideas hdon ? | 09:47 |
| hdon | god damn austin_ ... are you hoping the FBI will read your IRC chatter and stop trying to hack your computer after reading that all 3 paragraphs you just pasted?? | 09:48 |
| robeph | grub-pc (deps on grub-common) so I'd assume the stage files would be built from that | 09:48 |
| robeph | but alas | 09:48 |
| robeph | :\ | 09:48 |
| hdon | robeph, as pathetic as this sounds i haven't dealt with grub in nearly ten years... my new workstation i bought with Ubuntu preinstalled D: | 09:48 |
| robeph | It'd be ok, BUT apparently I can't burn a cd (my installer cd is corrupt, shows bad md5 sum) | 09:48 |
| robeph | since everything seg faults if I pull the live disc out heh | 09:48 |
| avirams | Hi all | 09:49 |
| robeph | so I'm in a predicimant | 09:49 |
| austin_ | nope just telling it like it is. I'm not worried about the FBI. lol or conspiracies. I mean that whole heartedly. | 09:49 |
| hdon | robeph, wait you can't burn a CD because the CD burning software is, on the CD you burned, corrupt? | 09:49 |
| qkeen | after putting Ubuntu server 11.04 iso on a flash key with UNetbootin I'm getting 'BOOTMGR is missing' -- how do you do it, guys? | 09:49 |
| robeph | no the cd burning software is fine | 09:49 |
| robeph | but it deps on libs on the livecd | 09:49 |
| robeph | lol | 09:49 |
| robeph | I've one drive | 09:49 |
| tarzeau | robeph: we boot the live cd via network here :) | 09:49 |
| hdon | austin_, well wake up, dude. it only takes one spook with a funny idea to do some seriously scary shit | 09:49 |
| avirams | I noticed NetworkManager in Natty does not longer change /etc/hosts to map my hostname to the dhcp IP, is there a way to make it do that or maybe something else that should be doing that (tryed libnss-myhostname, it just return 127.0.0.1 and it is not what i want) | 09:49 |
| robeph | can't do that in this situation | 09:49 |
| ch7r | just installed Ubuntu 10.04... gnome-panel and others programs give me this error on launching: "gnome-panel: symbol lookup error: gnome-panel: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_get_realized" Any ideas? | 09:50 |
| robeph | no pxe + no cd drive on my netbook / set top box | 09:50 |
| austin_ | hdon what's that supposed to mean bro? | 09:50 |
| robeph | if he told you, he'd have to kill you | 09:50 |
| hdon | swifty__, so you're still able to view the windows share using Gnome GUIs but you can't get ~/.gvfs ? | 09:50 |
| marvin__ | guys, my laptop with nvidia 8600 won't work with proprietary drivers, so no unity. I've tried lot of solutions, but none works. Thisi is my Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/qp8kN8e9 , someone may try to help me? | 09:50 |
| robeph | so does anyone else here know where the grub stages install? | 09:50 |
| robeph | hrm lets try the grub installer | 09:51 |
| robeph | i forgot that existed | 09:51 |
| robeph | coming from lfs / gentoo environments | 09:51 |
| austin_ | grub stages install? What the heck does that mean? | 09:52 |
| bhavesh_ | iridium: sorry I got disconnected | 09:52 |
| austin_ | I don't know what you're asking | 09:52 |
| austin_ | grub is a boot loader | 09:52 |
| iridium | bhavesh_ ok no prob | 09:52 |
| austin_ | it installs into the root of the OS | 09:52 |
| synthesist_ | Can anyone help me on this channel? | 09:52 |
| hdon | austin_, you don't have to inform someone you don't understand their issue if they're just talking to the channel in general | 09:52 |
| hdon | ?ask | 09:53 |
| hdon | !ask | 09:53 |
| ch7r | maybe he wants to know where are the files? | 09:53 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 09:53 |
| swifty__ | hdon, yes that is right.....is it just me or is that really odd?? | 09:53 |
| robeph | ok next question | 09:53 |
| robeph | grub, how does ubuntus handle grub.conf | 09:53 |
| robeph | or does it use menu.lst | 09:53 |
| hdon | swifty__, i'm not sure, i've always used smbmount | 09:53 |
| robeph | and is it stored (normally) in /boot/grub or in /boot/ | 09:53 |
| hdon | but it was never a good experience | 09:53 |
| llutz | robeph: theres /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* to change | 09:54 |
| robeph | this isn't related to ubuntu | 09:54 |
| robeph | just ubuntu livecd | 09:54 |
| synthesist_ | !What folder should MS Outlook Express files be placed in Ubuntu for Thunderbird to recognize them for import? | 09:54 |
| ubottu | synthesist_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:54 |
| robeph | installing so I can boot to windows | 09:54 |
| robeph | to burn a new installer disc | 09:54 |
| FloodBot1 | robeph: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:54 |
| robeph | since mine is mucked | 09:54 |
| hdon | robeph, my shell says that /*/menu.lst, /*/*/menu.lst, /*/*/*/menu.lst do not exist | 09:55 |
| stix | Guys, is there any way I can sync my Apple Addressbook with my zarafa-contacts? | 09:55 |
| robeph | what about grub.conf? | 09:55 |
| hdon | well, ls says it, but the shell tried to expand my wildcards | 09:55 |
| llutz | robeph: you might manually change /boot/grub/grub.cfg , but those changes will be overwritten when calling "update-grub" | 09:55 |
| stix | sorry wrong chan | 09:55 |
| austin_ | ok I'll probably get banned, and I don't mean to be an ass hole...I just have big f****** problems with stupid bull shit lol that's all. I thought Linux users were supposed to be intelligent? Many of these questions can be found via google and would save you time like about the grub instead of asking this hear? | 09:55 |
| robeph | llutz: this is temporary | 09:55 |
| hdon | robeph, same for grub.conf. but i do not know how my OEM vendor installed my system. | 09:55 |
| marvin__ | cmon guys, someone may help me with nvidia drivers trouble? | 09:55 |
| robeph | where is grub.conf located | 09:56 |
| austin_ | marvin what's wrong with your drivers? | 09:56 |
| swifty__ | how does smbmount work? | 09:56 |
| robeph | I'm just going to write one up | 09:56 |
| hdon | austin_, i think ubuntu seriously disrupted the ecosystem of gnu/linux. we're in a dark age right now. | 09:56 |
| robeph | I just need to know where it is located | 09:56 |
| MagePsycho | hi guys | 09:56 |
| marvin__ | proprietary drivers won't work, this is my Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/qp8kN8e9 | 09:56 |
| austin_ | hdon.....I know it's like....wow... google first then come here | 09:56 |
| robeph | also... I want to stab the guy who decided installing the bootloader before the installation was complete, was a good idea .... | 09:56 |
| hdon | robeph, i'd try google https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:57 |
| robeph | this isn't ubuntu related | 09:57 |
| robeph | I understand grub | 09:57 |
| marvin__ | austin_ :jockey says that driver is installed but currently ont in use | 09:57 |
| MagePsycho | i used this grep -lir "layer_vew" * command to recursively search for files with word = layer_view .. now i would like to extend this so that i can get files with line no and igonring the .svn files n dirs | 09:57 |
| robeph | just not ubuntu's handling | 09:57 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way to do ls -all but list only entries by a certain date? | 09:57 |
| hdon | robeph, yeah that sounds retarded maximum | 09:57 |
| llutz | austin_: yo umight be true, but that is how this channel works... | 09:57 |
| robeph | they tend to muck around with default locations | 09:57 |
| robeph | I just need to know the file locations so I can temporarily make it work | 09:57 |
| austin_ | robeph you do know you can just reset the boot loader? | 09:57 |
| austin_ | and boot into ubuntu | 09:57 |
| robeph | what do you mean? | 09:57 |
| robeph | there is no ubuntu heh | 09:58 |
| swifty__ | hdon, how do u go about using smbmount | 09:58 |
| robeph | the installer failed halfway through after mucking up my bootloader.. | 09:58 |
| austin_ | that's what I mean it can be reset | 09:58 |
| austin_ | or you can just start from scratch and reinstall ubuntu | 09:58 |
| austin_ | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 09:58 |
| hdon | robeph, according to an ubu tut, /boot/grub/ is where menu.lst goes | 09:58 |
| robeph | ok | 09:58 |
| austin_ | is the terminal commands via the live CD to reset the grub bootloader | 09:58 |
| swifty__ | hdon, dw, i found it on google! | 09:59 |
| hdon | swifty__, aweosme! can you give me the link? | 09:59 |
| MagePsycho | i used this grep -lir "layer_vew" * command to recursively search for files with word = layer_view .. now i would like to extend this so that i can get files with line no and igonring the .svn files n dirs | 09:59 |
| austin_ | magepsycho | 09:59 |
| austin_ | guess what? | 10:00 |
| synthesist_ | What folder should Outlook Express file be placed in Ubuntu for Thunderbird to recognize them for import? | 10:00 |
| austin_ | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-use-grep-command-in-linux-unix/ | 10:00 |
| szal | hdon: in modern *buntu installations there is no menu.lst, since Grub 2 has a grub.cfg | 10:00 |
| austin_ | that's how to use the grep command via a terminal | 10:00 |
| Aerosonic | My Ubuntu self upgraded | 10:01 |
| Aerosonic | I was installing updates and it upgraded it to fucking 11.04 | 10:01 |
| szal | !language | Aerosonic | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Aerosonic: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 10:01 |
| austin_ | aerosonic and how is that treating you? | 10:01 |
| austin_ | the new 11.04 | 10:01 |
| llutz | MagePsycho: find path/ -type f ! -name *.svn | grep -li <pattern> | 10:01 |
| Aerosonic | Excuse me for saying this, but "FUCKING AWFUL" | 10:01 |
| Aerosonic | Is there ANY way to move that god damn panel to the bottom? | 10:01 |
| austin_ | Aer yes can I help you via PM | 10:02 |
| hdon | !!! | 10:02 |
| austin_ | I have a solution | 10:02 |
| Aerosonic | Please. | 10:02 |
| hdon | szal, thanks! | 10:02 |
| hdon | robeph, ^^ | 10:02 |
| szal | Aerosonic: other than that, it doesn't upgrade by itself; if you ended up w/ 11.04 instead of 10.10 (I suppose so), you probably did a dist-upgrade instead of a normal upgrade | 10:02 |
| Aerosonic | Probably. | 10:02 |
| Aerosonic | I didn't want it though. | 10:02 |
| Bo0m | wow my xchat fonts are so messedup | 10:03 |
| MagePsycho | grep -lir "layer_view" * | grep -v '\.svn' is this command ? | 10:03 |
| Bo0m | heh | 10:03 |
| szal | Aerosonic: for user error you can only complain to yourself ^^ | 10:03 |
| szal | robeph: what is the problem anyway? | 10:03 |
| llutz | without changing sources, a dist-upgrade won't do a version-upgrade | 10:03 |
| Aerosonic | This is not a PEBCAK | 10:03 |
| hdon | szal, iirc, grub installation failed, can't boot original OS on other partition(s) | 10:03 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, you just want to move a gnome panel to another edge of the screen? | 10:04 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, is it unity? | 10:04 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, alt+click drag to another edge of the screen works for me (a little touchy though. too close to the edge of the panel doesn't work) | 10:05 |
| Aerosonic | Yes, Unity. | 10:05 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, ah i don't know nothin bout no unity | 10:05 |
| austin_ | I pointed Aerosonic to a great article about why he's having that problem | 10:05 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, perhaps log out to gdm and choose a regular Gnome desktop session instead of unity if they still have it | 10:05 |
| szal | well, as stated, dist-upgrades don't happen automagically, someone or something needs to muck around w/ the pkg sources for that to happen, and the normal upgrade procedure sure doesn't do that | 10:05 |
| austin_ | :) | 10:05 |
| Aerosonic | Thank you audreyr | 10:06 |
| Aerosonic | erm | 10:06 |
| Aerosonic | Thank you austin_ | 10:06 |
| austin_ | hey at least it's the truth man | 10:06 |
| austin_ | lol fuck | 10:06 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Hello again :) | 10:06 |
| austin_ | oops! *covers mouth* | 10:06 |
| austin_ | sorry | 10:06 |
| FloodBot1 | austin_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:06 |
| synthesist_ | Can anyone help, yes or no? | 10:06 |
| hdon | Firefishe, hola | 10:06 |
| austin_ | you have to watch your F bombs in here. | 10:06 |
| Aerosonic | Anyhow, I don't want that fucking unity on my fucking 4:3 desktop | 10:07 |
| llutz | !classic | Aerosonic | 10:07 |
| ubottu | Aerosonic: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 10:07 |
| hdon | i watch my F bombs as they fall into villages of unsuspecting children in an oil-having but otherwise poor nation | 10:07 |
| Bo0m | so 11.04 has new interface? | 10:07 |
| hdon | "we were just trying to learn ubuntu!" they cry | 10:07 |
| Firefishe | hdon: Well, I finally got my desktop back... *phew* | 10:07 |
| Aerosonic | Unity is not autohiding properly. It's leaves a white strip on the left instead of disappearing. | 10:07 |
| hdon | Firefishe, awesome :) any collateral damage? | 10:08 |
| Firefishe | hdon: not that I can see. Tabula Rasas are nice like that :) | 10:08 |
| hdon | Aerosonic, dude everything i have heard about unity is that it sucks. you are going to be coming here a lot if you expect it not to suck. | 10:08 |
| austin_ | hdon that's a good thing lol. 11.04 has the new interface. They haven't code named 12.04 yet but it's supposed to be completely differnt. Someone told me though pss a bit of inside information though that 12.04's code name is Naughty Nuttgoblin | 10:08 |
| hdon | damn ubuntu government telling me what desktop environment i want to use | 10:08 |
| Bo0m | Am I the only one who feels fonts on ubuntu are not as good as fonts in windows? or am I doing something wrong? | 10:08 |
| Aerosonic | Why the hell did they change it? | 10:08 |
| Firefishe | as unity is new, its code is going to need some tweaking here and there | 10:08 |
| Aerosonic | It's like a netbook edition | 10:08 |
| Aerosonic | It's a 10.10 netbook edition | 10:09 |
| Aerosonic | And the netbook edition was decent. | 10:09 |
| hdon | austin_, lmao... naughty nuttgoblin | 10:09 |
| Aerosonic | Unlike unity piece-of-shit. | 10:09 |
| oberon4mine | I don't like unity, at all | 10:09 |
| Firefishe | Aerosonic: I dunno, why'd they change kde 3.5.10 to 4.5.x to 4.6.x to 4.7.xRC? Things change | 10:09 |
| oberon4mine | do you guys think Ubuntu clone windows and osx? just ask | 10:09 |
| austin_ | yes hdon lol. | 10:09 |
| qkeen | synthesist_: your question seems too specific. I guess any folder will be ok for thunderbird to import your files (what files? all the files? specific files?) | 10:10 |
| hdon | austin_, must be very secret information... google has never heard this phrase before | 10:10 |
| hdon | austin_, oh, one less t | 10:10 |
| Slart | oberon4mine: this is a support channel.. for those kind of discussions I'd recommend #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:10 |
| hdon | brb | 10:10 |
| austin_ | lol ;) it's a secret | 10:11 |
| austin_ | shhhhhhh | 10:11 |
| Aerosonic | Firefishe: So far it's been for the better(or worse). But now it went to "fucking terrible" | 10:11 |
| Aerosonic | ok classic is good, but the interface is.. umm.. not that good. | 10:11 |
| austin_ | omg another F bomb? | 10:11 |
| austin_ | I'm going to wash your mouth out with soup son. | 10:12 |
| austin_ | soap | 10:12 |
| austin_ | fucking keyboard | 10:12 |
| Bo0m | guys, is it common to have font issues in ubuntu? Also, I dont think I see the websites with same clarity when compared to windows..is it a common issue? | 10:12 |
| avirams | What is the best way of making my hostname resolve to the network interface inet address ? (network manager used to edit /etc/hosts and it stopped) | 10:12 |
| bhavesh_ | I dont think this IRC chat is to discuss your likes and dislikes | 10:12 |
| Aerosonic | Nevermind I fixed it. | 10:12 |
| llutz | austin_: would you please respect the channel rules and stay on-topic? thanks | 10:12 |
| Aerosonic | Thanks. For the classic hint. | 10:13 |
| Aerosonic | As for Unity, it sucks donkey cock. | 10:13 |
| Bo0m | wow..looks like I dont like any fontsin here.. heh | 10:13 |
| Bo0m | fonts* | 10:13 |
| synthesist_ | qkeen: Thank you! Just the OE mail files, but TB only offers "Communicator 4.x" and no way to browse for a location. | 10:13 |
| jatt | Aerosonic hi | 10:13 |
| austin_ | llutz sorry about that....*Sigh* | 10:13 |
| jatt | Aerosonic I agree dude Unity sucks | 10:13 |
| bazhang | !ot | jatt | 10:14 |
| ubottu | jatt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 10:14 |
| austin_ | ubottu I love you | 10:15 |
| ubottu | austin_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:15 |
| austin_ | but I want to have kids with you ubottu you're telling me that's impossible? I want you to have my babies.... | 10:15 |
| bazhang | austin_, thats enough | 10:15 |
| Bo0m | guys, anyone heard of people having font issues in ubuntu? heh I dont like anything I see lol | 10:16 |
| vivekimsit | telnet not working in ubuntu..? | 10:17 |
| vivekimsit | nor ssh! | 10:17 |
| Slart | Bo0m: I can only speak for myself but I felt that web pages and such looked a bit off when I switched from windows to ubuntu.. if that's what you mean with "font issues" | 10:17 |
| austin_ | there's no telnet | 10:17 |
| austin_ | via the terminal I don't think | 10:17 |
| qkeen | vivekimsit: see netcat | 10:17 |
| vivekimsit | ok. | 10:17 |
| llutz | !ssh | vivekimsit | 10:17 |
| Bo0m | yes yes Slart | 10:17 |
| ubottu | vivekimsit: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 10:17 |
| llutz | vivekimsit: ssh works fine, if installed/configured | 10:17 |
| austin_ | or or may I? THere's a program called putty that has a gui for connects like ubottu said | 10:18 |
| austin_ | it does work with wine | 10:18 |
| MikeDD | Anyone here have experience fuxing audio on a USB sound interface | 10:18 |
| llutz | even telnet does, but you don't want that | 10:18 |
| vivekimsit | actually i connected two pc via ethernet...and ping is also working.. | 10:18 |
| Bo0m | Slart, any work around? | 10:18 |
| === Xano_ is now known as Xano | ||
| llutz | vivekimsit: openssh-server isn't installed by default | 10:18 |
| Slart | Bo0m: these days I feel the same when I go back to windows.. everything looks a bit off.. I haven't found any work-arounds.. I guess I have just adapted =) | 10:18 |
| austin_ | putty is awesome | 10:18 |
| Bo0m | aighto..adopting it is then. thnks buddy | 10:19 |
| Bo0m | thanks* | 10:19 |
| MikeDD | no sound coming out, device was recognized.. and I even disabled the onboard audio in the cmos | 10:19 |
| llutz | austin_: theres putty for linux, no need for wine. if you really want putty on linux | 10:19 |
| llutz | !pm | vivekimsit | 10:19 |
| ubottu | vivekimsit: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 10:19 |
| austin_ | hmmm there is? Ok you got me. One thing I didn't know | 10:19 |
| szal | why on earth would anyone even want PuTTY on Linux.. | 10:19 |
| vivekimsit | ok.. | 10:19 |
| austin_ | Putty is awesome it even has default connection for anything like remote command shells, and all kinds of goodies to connect up too | 10:20 |
| Slart | Bo0m: I haven't found any work-around.. I haven't really looked that hard, to be honest. | 10:20 |
| llutz | szal: ask those "i love my GUI guys" :) | 10:20 |
| vivekimsit | actually other commands apart from ping is not working | 10:20 |
| MikeDD | I had this working on 10.10, with the same interface (Lexicon Aloha)... been too long, can't remember how I did it on there.. | 10:20 |
| vivekimsit | i also confogured iptables | 10:20 |
| llutz | vivekimsit: have you installed openss-server? | 10:20 |
| austin_ | so does netcat but for most things it takes too long it's shell based screw that | 10:20 |
| llutz | openssh-server* | 10:20 |
| szal | llutz: PuTTY is not exactly GUI ;) | 10:20 |
| vivekimsit | don't know.. | 10:20 |
| austin_ | szal the windows one is | 10:20 |
| llutz | vivekimsit: then do, you need it | 10:20 |
| vivekimsit | i hv to install it on the other machine or mine? | 10:21 |
| llutz | vivekimsit: the one you want to access to | 10:21 |
| vivekimsit | ok.. | 10:21 |
| vivekimsit | i will try..thnkx | 10:21 |
| Bo0m | Slart : I see. its just that I find youtube all messsed up and stuff..guess I'll get used to it. | 10:21 |
| vivekimsit | but can u give me downloading and config hints for this? | 10:21 |
| llutz | szal: tbh, i never had seen putty-linux in action | 10:21 |
| Bo0m | no clarity in what I see. | 10:21 |
| szal | llutz: I have Irssi for Windows, it starts PuTTY to display itself, and afaics it's sure no more GUI than any Linux terminal emulator ;) | 10:22 |
| austin_ | wow geeky.... ok just use what you need to get the job done holy crap if it connect to the port via say port 23 secure shell | 10:22 |
| llutz | szal: correct, you can hide the GUI-parts | 10:22 |
| austin_ | who gives a crap? | 10:22 |
| austin_ | as long as it works and you like it | 10:23 |
| Slart | Bo0m: hmm.. it shouldn't be "all messed up".. can you take a screenshot? | 10:23 |
| Bo0m | I might be exaggerating, its just not so clear... | 10:24 |
| Bo0m | wow how does one take screenshot in here? heh | 10:24 |
| Bo0m | got it..one sec | 10:25 |
| Slart | Bo0m: there should be a screenshot utility in accessories | 10:25 |
| vlt | Bo0m: Just press "PrntScrn" | 10:26 |
| SSHKeys1 | hi i have a Debian 6 server with ssh key's setup, i have the private and public key, i know how to connect to it with windows but i have no idea how to connect to it with ubuntu | 10:26 |
| bobweaver | hi there I would like to learn about the find command | 10:26 |
| vlt | bobweaver: man find | 10:26 |
| Slart | Bo0m: here's what it looks like on my computer http://imagebin.org/160527 | 10:27 |
| bobweaver | so it goes find then / to seach all files then -name if I want a name of a file | 10:27 |
| bobweaver | right | 10:27 |
| SSHKeys1 | where would i put the private/public keys in ubuntu? ;o | 10:27 |
| llutz | SSHKeys1: man ssh (ssh -i key user@host) | 10:27 |
| vlt | SSHKeys1: Open a terminal, write "ssh user@server". Done | 10:27 |
| SSHKeys1 | o | 10:27 |
| llutz | SSHKeys1: ~/.ssh | 10:27 |
| bobweaver | I know how to use the man infl and help page I just dont ubderstand them | 10:27 |
| bobweaver | I know how to use the man info and help page I just dont understand them* | 10:28 |
| vlt | bobweaver: What exactly are you trying to do? | 10:28 |
| bobweaver | learn how to find anything that I am looking for | 10:28 |
| bobweaver | say I | 10:28 |
| Bo0m | Slart, : it looks just fine.. see mine http://imagebin.org/160528 | 10:29 |
| bobweaver | have a dir called test and I have filed named 12345678 and 123456 how would I make find just findd that | 10:29 |
| casey | Hey guys, I had a quick question about Grub2. Basically, when you are installing "sudo grub-pc" and you get to the configuring screen. How do you know which partition is the MBR? | 10:29 |
| bobweaver | find /test -name 12345* ???? | 10:30 |
| Slart | Bo0m: mine looks the same when I just go to youtube.com | 10:30 |
| bobweaver | what does the wildcard do ? | 10:30 |
| Erik500002 | Guys anyone here having trouble with wifi with the ath9k module? Dx | 10:30 |
| Slart | Bo0m: well.. apart from the fonts being a bit narrower. Have you installed the MS fonts? | 10:30 |
| avirams | What is the best way of making my hostname resolve to the network interface inet address ? (network manager used to edit /etc/hosts and it stopped) | 10:30 |
| hdon | bobweaver, make sure you put a \* instead of a * in case there is something in your PWD that matches the * | 10:31 |
| bobweaver | Erik500002, is it just not connecting is all the mods loaded ? | 10:31 |
| Bo0m | slart: I dont think so. anyway I can check? | 10:31 |
| Erik500002 | its not connecting Dx | 10:31 |
| Diverdude | can rsa and dsa key co-exist in the same ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ? | 10:31 |
| Erik500002 | bobweaver: tried installing compat to but same results Dx | 10:31 |
| Erik500002 | bobweaver: too* | 10:31 |
| Slart | Bo0m: install the package called msttcorefonts sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts in a terminal | 10:31 |
| Bo0m | aight. let me do that | 10:31 |
| MikeDD | rhetorical question: Pulse Audio, why you gotta be such a punk to me right now? You see the device, why are you not making sound come out? | 10:31 |
| Slart | Bo0m: that will download arial, times new roman and some others that are commonly used in webpages | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | Erik500002, lsmod rfkill list all and lspci -nn | 10:32 |
| casey | Hey guys, I had a quick question about Grub2. Basically, when you are installing "sudo grub-pc" and you get to the configuring screen. How do you know which partition is the MBR? | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | pastebin | 10:32 |
| vlt | bobweaver: find test -name 123456 | 10:32 |
| Erik500002 | bobweaver: alright will post back results. | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | Erik500002, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 10:32 |
| bobweaver | vlt what if I want it to go up or down one number ? can I do that ? | 10:33 |
| Bo0m | Slart, : I believe I have that installed.. | 10:33 |
| Bo0m | Reading state information... Done | 10:34 |
| Bo0m | Note, selecting ttf-mscorefonts-installer instead of msttcorefonts | 10:34 |
| Bo0m | ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already the newest version. | 10:34 |
| Bo0m | oops...sorry | 10:34 |
| Slart | Bo0m: then I don't really know why it looks that way.. perhaps it's an opera thing | 10:34 |
| Bo0m | umnn yeah. will download chrome now and see | 10:34 |
| vlt | bobweaver: find test -name "12345[4-6]" | 10:34 |
| bobweaver | vlt, Thank you you are awesom just the [] and what are the "" for | 10:35 |
| bobweaver | vlt, what if I did not use the "" | 10:35 |
| bobweaver | I guesss I could go test :) | 10:36 |
| MikeDD | I disabled the onboard audio in the cmos... geez louise, what did I do to get this thing going last time? | 10:36 |
| vlt | bobweaver: I could have used the "" in the first example too. It's safer to avoid any parsing of reserved chars by the shell. | 10:36 |
| MikeDD | maybe the gt210's audio is overriding it.. don't know how to disable it though.. | 10:37 |
| bobweaver | vlt thanks you so much brb | 10:37 |
| vlt | bobweaver: If you don't put the brackets in quotes your shell will try to expand the pattern itself. | 10:37 |
| MikeDD | If I hadn't burred my hair off the other day then I would pull it out over this.. | 10:37 |
| Bo0m | umnn am sorry.. but when you do sudo apt-get install chromium, will it not be in your start menu like in windows? | 10:37 |
| PythonSnake | Hi | 10:37 |
| PythonSnake | Can anyone tell me how to associate an action with keys ? | 10:38 |
| PythonSnake | like activate/desactivate touchpad with fn+f9 | 10:38 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: I could tell you for a terminal. | 10:38 |
| PythonSnake | for a terminal ? | 10:38 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: With the help of the program "screen" (which is great for working on terminals anyway) | 10:39 |
| darkenergy | how do you show computer name? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | darkenergy: uname -n | 10:39 |
| darkenergy | how do you show computer name that will show on network to other computers? | 10:39 |
| vlt | darkenergy: It's in /etc/hostname | 10:39 |
| Slart | Bo0m: chromium is a game.. I think you're looking for chromium-browser | 10:39 |
| Bo0m | Slart, : lol just figured | 10:39 |
| Slart | !info chromium | 10:40 |
| ikonia | darkenergy: how do you mean "show its self" ? | 10:40 |
| ubottu | Package chromium does not exist in natty | 10:40 |
| Bo0m | thanks buddy.. did chromium in the run box and this game popped up | 10:40 |
| piyush_1414 | hello! Few weeks back I upgraded my dev machine to 5.5. To my utter surprise it is like 3 times slower than 5.1. I am on ubuntu. Can I go back to 5.1 ? | 10:40 |
| Slart | Bo0m: to be fair.. it's a good game =) | 10:40 |
| PythonSnake | vlt: how to do it with xorg.conf ? | 10:40 |
| Bo0m | haha : ) | 10:40 |
| darkenergy | ikonia, shows itself to other comps on th enetwork | 10:40 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: I don't know, sorry. | 10:40 |
| ikonia | shows it self where though ? in what application ? | 10:40 |
| PythonSnake | :( | 10:40 |
| PythonSnake | vlt: ok thanks | 10:41 |
| PythonSnake | anyone know how to associate an action with keys like activate/desactivate touchpad with fn+f9 ? | 10:41 |
| Bo0m | slart: Do we need to add any link inorder to download that browser? cause apt-get says it cant find it | 10:41 |
| Slart | Bo0m: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. afaik it should install just fine on a default install of ubuntu | 10:42 |

| MikeDD | what is the most common mistake that people make when setting up usb sound cards? | 10:43 |
| vlt | MikeDD: Using USB sound cards. | 10:43 |
| Slart | MikeDD: thinking that it will "just work" =) | 10:43 |
| darkenergy | MikeDD, forget the sound card | 10:43 |
| Slart | MikeDD: apart from that.. forgetting that one, very hidden, volume slider you can only see in some weird alsa mixer-utility | 10:44 |
| piyush_1414 | hello! Few weeks back I upgraded my dev machine to 5.5. To my utter surprise it is like 3 times slower than 5.1. I am on ubuntu. Can I go back to 5.1 ? | 10:44 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: 5.5 ? | 10:44 |
| vlt | Hello. I#m looking for an audio player I can control from CLI (terminal) that can do crossfades when I skip to the next file. Any idea? | 10:44 |
| bugzor2 | hello, is it possible to output audio from my laptop's speakers and through the hdmi cable at the same time ? i want to make something like 2.1 suround and i have no settings | 10:44 |
| piyush_1414 | oops | 10:44 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: mysql-server 5.5 | 10:45 |
| bugzor2 | vlt try audacious | 10:45 |
| bugzor2 | oh terminal | 10:45 |
| vlt | bugzor2: Thanks | 10:45 |
| Slart | MikeDD: but, all joking aside, usb sound cards have worked for me, without any special configuration stuff | 10:45 |
| vlt | bugzor2: Yes, terminal | 10:45 |
| bobweaver | IT WORKS the power | 10:45 |
| bugzor2 | not sure if it controls from terminal, but research | 10:45 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: what are you doing to measure performance ? | 10:46 |
| MikeDD | I know it won't "just work"; however, and it didn't just work under 10.10 either. I can't remember the exact procedure that I went through before either.. ultimately, disabling the onboard fixed it.. but I am forgetting at least one key thing that I did from the last time, before setting the onboard to disabled in the cmos. Compounded by the fact that the Nvidia has HDMI and that may be interfering with the use of the Lexicon A | 10:46 |
| MikeDD | lpha... | 10:46 |
| little | is internet download manager available for ubuntu | 10:46 |
| little | ? | 10:46 |
| vlt | little: What does ot dp? | 10:46 |
| vlt | do | 10:46 |
| vlt | little: What does it do? | 10:47 |
| iceroot | little: have a look at "jdownloader" | 10:47 |
| little | it boost the download speed | 10:47 |
| little | like DAP | 10:47 |
| iceroot | little: ah then dont look at jdownloader | 10:47 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: Tests of my project run in 1500 secs on mysql 5.5 compared to ~450 secs on 5.1 | 10:47 |
| iceroot | little: dap is not boosting the internet-connection | 10:47 |
| AntR2 | Anyone no why ubuntu sucks for picking up my batter its been on 5.5% with 3mins left for 20mins now <.> | 10:47 |
| bugzor2 | it boosts on dialup connections | 10:47 |
| little | how to install jdownloader | 10:47 |
| vlt | little: What exactly does it do to "boost download speed"? | 10:47 |
| little | ? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: how do you know that's not mysql and not code not working as well with mysql 5.5 ? | 10:48 |
| MikeDD | I set the settings strings for both active-card and sound-card to PlaybackLexiconAlphaAnalogStereoPulseAudioMixer | 10:48 |
| little | don't ask me the questions | 10:48 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: have you looked at what's changed in mysql 5.5 ? | 10:48 |
| piyush_1414 | same code | 10:48 |
| violentk | hello everyone | 10:48 |
| little | give me the solutions vlt | 10:48 |
| Firefishe | hdon, bronaugh: 'night. Thanks for your help, earlier. Be Well. | 10:48 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: how did you upgrade mysql ? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: yes, same code doesn't mean it's not a problem with the code | 10:48 |
| MikeDD | doesn't appear to be muted, or so I think... | 10:48 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: I just want to downgrade to mysql 5,1 | 10:48 |
| hdon | Firefishe, goodnight! | 10:48 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: how did you upgrade to mysql 5.5 ? | 10:48 |
| little | is internet download manager available for ubuntu ? | 10:48 |
| Firefishe | goodnight, hdon: nice to have met you :-) | 10:48 |
| ikonia | !info mysql-server | 10:49 |
| ubottu | mysql-server (source: mysql-5.1): MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version). In component main, is optional. Version 5.1.54-1ubuntu4 (natty), package size 6 kB, installed size 92 kB | 10:49 |
| bugzor2 | little why won't you download like normal people ? | 10:49 |
| vlt | little: You can't send more data than the line allows to. So what results do you expect from such a tool? | 10:49 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: ask you can see mysql 5.5 is not in the ubuntu repos - so where did you get it ? | 10:49 |
| Slart | little: there are some download managers available.. but I don't think any of them will magically increase your download speed | 10:49 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: I followed http://www.ovaistariq.net/490/a-step-by-step-guide-to-upgrading-to-mysql-5-5/ | 10:49 |
| AntR2 | little: firefox has a download manager built no need to get another | 10:49 |
| PythonSnake | How to run a shell ? | 10:49 |
| MikeDD | sound-cards string says empty, with GptArray_GValue_ for all devices listed | 10:50 |
| Slart | little: they offer other functionality.. such as resuming downloads, scheduling and such | 10:50 |
| little | ok Slart let me know some download managers for ubuntu | 10:50 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: I downloaded mysql binaries | 10:50 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: it was not a .deb install | 10:50 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: ok - so you've got a package from a totally untrusted place, and you're wondering why it's causing you a problem | 10:50 |
| little | ? | 10:50 |
| darkenergy | What's difference between ubuntu-server and enterprise cloud? | 10:50 |
| little | yeah mozilla has it i know it | 10:50 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: then contact the person who told you how to explain and tell him you need help undoing what he's done | 10:50 |
| MikeDD | yet, shows the name of the Lexicon Alpha in the list.. since installing 11.04 | 10:50 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: actually I did download it from mysql website | 10:50 |
| little | but have you used IDM in windows | 10:51 |
| little | Then you know the Speed variations | 10:51 |
| piyush_1414 | ikonia: no need to get so antsy...if you have no answer | 10:51 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: I do have an answer | 10:51 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: mysql.com is not a trusted source - their binaries are not setup tuned for ubuntu, they are generic | 10:51 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: Try Alt+F2 and type xterm | 10:51 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: You should find one in your applications menu too | 10:52 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: please use the mysql-server from the repos | 10:52 |
| ikonia | piyush_1414: you've just installed something from a random 3rd party website, from an untrusted source, you claim it's not as good (you're welcome to your opinion) now your asking how to undo this - well, the answer is work throught he guide backwards, or contact the person who guided you through the untrusted upgrade | 10:52 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: its a very very bad idea to download a deb by hand and install it because you dont get security updates | 10:52 |
| vlt | PythonSnake: Look for an icon showing a small black screen ;,-) | 10:52 |
| little | hello | 10:52 |
| little | there ? | 10:52 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: I can do that I am just worried about data corruption as the process involved a data schema migration | 10:52 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: this is for my dev machine so I do not mind that much | 10:53 |
| Slart | little: there used to be a factoid about download managers.. but I can't find it now | 10:53 |
| ryoohki | how can i install a 32-bit library on a 64-bit machine using apt-get? | 10:53 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: that is not the problem, mysql is offering good migration-functions | 10:53 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: we needing the newest version and not the one from the repos? | 10:53 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: why | 10:53 |
| Slart | little: try using synaptic to search for "download manager", that should get you some hits | 10:53 |
| MikeDD | vlc not seeing the audio device | 10:54 |
| little | Slart good | 10:54 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: mysql 5.5 was "supposed" to be faster so wanted to experiment | 10:54 |
| little | thanks :) | 10:54 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: faster? | 10:54 |
| Slart | little: here's an outdated list.. might be a good starting point though http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-download-managers-available-in-ubuntu.html | 10:54 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: faster than 5,1 | 10:54 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: and 5.1 is slow for your needs? | 10:55 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: my tests used to take 400 seconds to run...I wanted them to go faster...yes | 10:55 |
| piyush_1414 | and now they are 3 times slower :(( | 10:55 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: then not mysql is the problem | 10:55 |
| bzil | how can i join the french chat !? | 10:55 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: you and your querys are the problem | 10:56 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: i am using mysql 5.1 with 600 million entrys, 80gb and a good query takes less then 1 second | 10:56 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: how can you come to that conclusion without knowing how many tests I have ? | 10:56 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: because 400 seconds are way to much so the querys are the problems | 10:57 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: I am running about a 100K tests and this is a full scale test suite | 10:57 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: mysql 5.1 runs well on production...5.5 was advertised to go faster | 10:57 |
| PythonSnake | how to associate "Disable touchpad" with a function key ? | 10:57 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: i guess you should habe a look at #mysql about tuning your querys | 10:57 |
| little | thts awesome | 10:57 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: anyway thanks | 10:58 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: and why test on 5.5 and use 5.1 as production system? | 10:58 |
| ryoohki | would you please talk about mysql on a mysql channel? | 10:58 |
| iceroot | piyush_1414: test and production system should ALWAYS be the same | 10:58 |
| ryoohki | iceroot: not if you plan on upping the prod to the test level | 10:58 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: I use a staging machine to run actual tests...this was my dev machine where I wanted to test 5,5 | 10:59 |
| bzil | just a question, where is the french canal for ubuntu !? how can i join him !? | 10:59 |
| iceroot | ryoohki: next step should be upgrading the production system to debian sid :) | 10:59 |
| piyush_1414 | iceroot: anyway thanks for your help | 10:59 |
| ryoohki | iceroot: nice | 10:59 |
| Slart | !fr | bzil | 10:59 |
| ubottu | bzil: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 10:59 |
| bzil | thanks a lot ubottu !! | 11:00 |
| ryoohki | how can i install a 32-bit library on a 64-bit machine using apt-get? | 11:00 |
| MikeDD | What I believe has to happen, is that I have to disable the HDMI output on the Nvidia somehow | 11:02 |
| darkenergy | What's difference between ubuntu-server and enterprise cloud? | 11:04 |
| ikonia | totally different | 11:04 |
| lolmatic | hi | 11:05 |
| ikonia | ubuntu-server is an OS - enterprise cloud is the same server OS with a cloud application stack designed for multiple nodes | 11:05 |
| lolmatic | how do i remove compiz and all? | 11:05 |
| lolmatic | effects? | 11:05 |
| darkenergy | lolmatic, i think you can just tern 'em off | 11:05 |
| darkenergy | go to appearence prefereneces --> visual effects | 11:05 |
| darkenergy | sudo apt-get remove compiz ?? | 11:06 |
| darkenergy | ikonia, multiple nodes?? | 11:06 |
| darkenergy | Multiple servers connected to the cloud? | 11:06 |
| Bo0m | guys i just downloaded chrome browser using opera. I see it downloaded a .deb package. am not able to find that downloaded package. do you guys know where to look/ | 11:07 |
| ikonia | darkenergy: they make up the cloud | 11:07 |

| Loreley | as an accident, I have given dd the command to cody sda into a textfile on my external harddrive. How can I stop dd? May I just close the terminal? Please help me fast! | 11:15 |
| Loreley | To copy, sorry | 11:16 |
| Bo0m | slart: am I right in thinking nautilus is like windows explorer? | 11:16 |
| Slart | Bo0m: yes | 11:16 |
| Bo0m | i see. good I learned few things today | 11:16 |
| Slart | Bo0m: I'm not sure if someone with a deeper knowledge of what explorer and nautilus actually does would agree but from a user point of view I would say they do the same thing =) | 11:17 |
| morth | hello room | 11:17 |
| Slart | Loreley: ctrl+c should work | 11:17 |
| Bo0m | ah cool. | 11:17 |

| Loreley | Slart: Thanks | 11:17 |
| Loreley | It did. | 11:18 |

| vlt | Hello. Which internet browser will open "file://" links in a file browser? | 11:19 |
| Slart | morth: you can join #test .. I think they have lots of bots and stuff for testing nickname highlighting and such | 11:19 |
| iceroot | vlt: firefox e.g. | 11:19 |
| chaddy | vlt: konqueror can do that, too | 11:19 |
| morth | slart okay, noted. | 11:19 |
| iceroot | vlt: you can use firefox also as a file-browser | 11:19 |
| morth | if anyone else uses irssi and is looking for a nice custom setup, check out http://pcatr.im/E0 | 11:19 |
| vlt | iceroot: Firefox? I rather meant a _real_ browser. | 11:20 |
| iceroot | vlt: no need for silly flames | 11:20 |
| vlt | iceroot: Something like nautilus, not just showing a list of files | 11:20 |
| iceroot | vlt: konqueror | 11:21 |
| iceroot | vlt: dolphin | 11:21 |
| vlt | iceroot: Sorry, I didn't connect "real browser" to "Firefox" as web browser, but to its file browser features. | 11:21 |
| iceroot | vlt: ok, then sorry too | 11:22 |
| tsimpson | vlt: non will usually open file:/// in a new application, it's supposed to tell the browser to fetch the resource from the local system | 11:22 |
| === e-anima-afk is now known as e-anima | ||
| bobweaver | any one know how to search for a line in nano | 11:22 |
| tsimpson | bobweaver: Ctrl-W | 11:23 |
| bobweaver | then t? | 11:23 |
| vlt | tsimpson: Konquerer on KDE did quite well | 11:23 |
| tsimpson | vlt: that's because konqueror is also a file browser, not just a web browser | 11:23 |
| vlt | tsimpson: I was looking for something on Gnome (w/o having to install a full bunch of KDE libs) | 11:23 |
| iceroot | vlt: file:///home/ this is not what you want in firefox? | 11:23 |
| tsimpson | vlt: I don't think Gnome has a combined web/file browser similar to konqueror | 11:24 |
| tsimpson | iceroot: they want file:// URLs to open a "real" file manager (or a file manager component in the browser) | 11:24 |
| janedoe | hey. I'm pretty new to ubuntu. just have one question. how can I adjust skype sounds? I tried everything but cannot find a way to turn up the volume for skype.. | 11:25 |
| iceroot | tsimpson: a real filemanager is bash | 11:25 |
| vlt | iceroot: No c&p there, no drag&drop, no renaming, no preview icons, permissions ... | 11:25 |
| airtonix | has anyone experienced the problem with synergy and google chromium ? where it randomly freezes if you copy text from one machine then paste it into google chromium on another synergy machine? | 11:25 |
| iceroot | vlt: why not using nautilus as file-browser and firefox as webbrowser? | 11:26 |
| vlt | iceroot: Can I tell Firefox to open file:// links in nautilus? | 11:26 |
| vlt | iceroot: ... for every user on the machine? | 11:26 |
| iceroot | vlt: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/firefly/ maybe you will find something like this for linux | 11:26 |

| iceroot | vlt: http://lifehacker.com/264332/use-firefox-as-a-windows-file-manager | 11:27 |
| bobweaver | vlt do you ever use Elinks in the terminal ? | 11:28 |
| vlt | iceroot: And yes, a real file manager is bash. But I'm setting up a system for avg users. | 11:28 |
| airtonix | vlt: not sure about retrospective, but you can set up a default gconf in /etc/skel | 11:28 |
| janedoe | Slart: ummm, I don't think so. can you help me out a little bit, as I said, pretty new.. | 11:28 |
| vlt | bobweaver: I did once. Why? | 11:28 |
| Slart | janedoe: sure.. let's assume you're using pulseaudio.. it is, after all, default in ubuntu | 11:28 |
| airtonix | pulseaudio is awesome | 11:28 |
| Slart | janedoe: open a terminal (that's in accessories, terminal) and type sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 11:29 |
| janedoe | Slart: I see.. is it default like I just have to start it or do I have to install it with software center? | 11:29 |
| airtonix | janedoe: it's a service that starts anyway | 11:29 |
| Slart | janedoe: that will install a volume control application that lets you change the volume for individual programs that use pulseaudio | 11:29 |
| janedoe | Slart: oh ok, I'm a try that one, thx so far :) | 11:29 |
| bobweaver | vlt, I thought you all where talking about webbrowser in bash is that one ? | 11:29 |
| vlt | bobweaver: Yes, but we didn't ;-) | 11:29 |
| Slart | janedoe: it is installed with the rest of the system.. and is probably already running | 11:30 |

| bobweaver | vlt is there a list of things that I should learn about bash regexp and what not is there a list that I should follow to learn more | 11:31 |

| vlt | bobweaver: There's a list of punctuation characters that comes handy sometimes. | 11:32 |
| Slart | janedoe: ok, lets start that application you just installed.. you either type pavucontrol in the terminal or you find it in the "Sound and Video" section of the start menu, where it's called PulseAudio Volume Control | 11:33 |

| bugzor2 | hello, is it possible to output audio from my laptop's speakers and through the hdmi cable at the same time ? i want to make something like 2.1 suround and i have no settings | 11:35 |
| Slart | janedoe: just let it run.. it will finish | 11:35 |
| spc_in_plc | iridium, Thanks mate | 11:35 |
| janedoe | Slart: so what next? | 11:35 |
| MikeDD | ok, so parole doesn't have sound.. but I freaking hate parole anyway.. | 11:35 |
| Slart | janedoe: type pavucontrol in the same terminal | 11:35 |
| vlt | bobweaver: I learned regexp from the PCRE documentation. Google for "perl regular expressions" | 11:35 |
| janedoe | Slart: so I will just open pulseaudio? | 11:35 |
| janedoe | Slart: just like that? | 11:35 |
| darkenergy | why can't i see my computer on the network? | 11:35 |
| Slart | janedoe: well.. pulseaudio is probably already running in the background.. this is just a small application to control volumes | 11:36 |
| MikeDD | but under the preferences for vlc, I point it to pulse audio which has NO Nvidia crap enabled for the sound.. and it works | 11:36 |

| vlt | darkenergy: Define "see", please | 11:36 |
| darkenergy | while i know i have a ubuntu ones..., vlt | 11:36 |
| MikeDD | janedoe: are you using onboard sound? | 11:37 |
| janedoe | Slart: omg that worked, thx alot :) | 11:37 |
| Slart | janedoe: you see the sliders for skype in there? | 11:37 |
| MikeDD | janedoe: your audio works now, then? | 11:37 |
| janedoe | Slart: umm, no ^^ but I turned the volume all up, I guess I will wait now until I hear a skype sound ^ | 11:38 |
| Slart | janedoe: well, they might show up if you start a call.. you'll get one slider for output volume and one for the microphone recording | 11:38 |
| janedoe | Slart: oh, cool. well I haven't had any skype call since I'm using ubuntu. Just have had it for 5 days now or sth.. ^^ | 11:40 |

| darkenergy | shkiper, yes win 7 is nice | 11:41 |
| darkenergy | Ubuntu and the linux experience is tenfold better though :D | 11:42 |
| janedoe | Slart: I have another question though. I was trying to start an irc, but unfortunately it works only with firefox, I was trying to use it on opera, but it didn't work. the issue is solved, but I wanna know how to get it start with opera.. | 11:42 |
| vlt | darkenergy: Ah sorry, wrong nick, that was for bobweaver | 11:42 |
| shkiper | darkenergy: there are no problems with it | 11:42 |
| janedoe | *started | 11:42 |
| darkenergy | are you talking about win7... i mean ubuntu does upgrade every 6 months | 11:42 |
| Slart | janedoe: hmm, how do you mean? I use IRC by running a separate program.. I don't use a web browser for that (although you can do it that way too) | 11:42 |
| qin | darkenergy: This server, do you have screen hook up to it? | 11:43 |
| shkiper | darkenergy: my Windows updates every day | 11:43 |

| darkenergy | qin, yes | 11:43 |
| qin | darkenergy: What ifconfig says? | 11:43 |
| janedoe | Slart: yeah right now, same here, however, I just like to solve the issue even though the functional part is solved.. just being curious and interested :) | 11:44 |

| darkenergy | qin, nothing unusual ... yes it does | 11:44 |
| iljo | hello, i'm back with another question | 11:44 |
| vlt | darkenergy: For nautilus is a file manager, you should run some file server (like NFS or samba) on the other machine. | 11:45 |
| AdvoWork | ive just seen this in my daemon.log: dnsmasq[3210]: forwarding table overflow: check for server loops. any suggestions? | 11:45 |
| MikeDD | I was using Windows 7, I freaking hate how insecure it was... I got fairly quickly used to 10.10, and after using this new computer for less than a month... switched right back to Xub | 11:45 |
| qin | darkenergy: sudo netstat -tulp (to see services) and sudo iptable -L to see (hopefully "empty") set of firewall rules. | 11:46 |
| iljo | i'm running ubuntu 10.10 and when i stick my usb key in, it says: "error creating mount point: no such file or directory" | 11:46 |
| darkenergy | mikedd, same but with 9.04... and i used 8.04/8.10 before though | 11:46 |
| iljo | any suggestions? | 11:46 |

| Slart | janedoe: ahh.. the webchat thingy.. yes.. that probably uses java.. | 11:47 |
| janedoe | Slart: bet that was a bad explanation :) | 11:47 |
| darkenergy | qin, it's saying connection refused using ssh | 11:47 |
| Slart | janedoe: nope.. that was all the explanation needed.. | 11:47 |

| DOOD | hi i need some help with installing a wirless network stick | 11:47 |
| Slart | janedoe: it probable has something to do with how opera uses java.. if opera can't find java or refuses to work with it, for any number of reasons, it won't be able to use that chat | 11:48 |

| MikeDD | the next fun task will be getting the rest of the audio to work, aka firefox (youtube, no sound there yet) | 12:00 |
| Drake| | Rebas: "sudo nautilus /usr/lib/opera/plugins" | 12:00 |
| darkenergy | 4 - read 2 - write 1 - execute .... add them up to have all 3... in the format chmod 000 0s being user/group/everyone i believe | 12:01 |
| MikeDD | I think I will save myself that fun for tomorrow night... | 12:01 |
| Slart | Rebas, Dravekx: don't use sudo with gui programs.. use gksudo instead | 12:01 |
| Slart | !gksudo | Rebas, Dravekx | 12:01 |
| ubottu | Rebas, Dravekx: 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) | 12:01 |
| darkenergy | qin, should ssh server just be sshd? | 12:01 |
| E3D3 | Slart: Although menu & shortcut have the same commands (kate -b %U) do they have different configurations (session etc). | 12:02 |
| Dravekx | Slart, k | 12:02 |
| qin | darkenergy: sudo service ssh start | 12:02 |
| Rebas | ubottu, then in run i put the " mv flashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugs" yes? | 12:02 |
| ubottu | Rebas: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:02 |
| qin | darkenergy: <foo>d mean deamon of foo | 12:02 |
| Rebas | .. | 12:02 |
| Rebas | anyone else then? :P | 12:02 |
| MikeDD | night guys and gals | 12:02 |
| qin | darkenergy: (Or it mean just food) | 12:03 |
| Slart | E3D3: hmm.. is the %U supposed to be replaced by the current user? | 12:03 |
| PythonSnake | Hi | 12:03 |
| darkenergy | qin, doesn't deamon mean server though for apps... | 12:03 |
| PythonSnake | I'm trying to disable touchpad with fn+f9 but it doesn't work.. | 12:03 |
| PythonSnake | anyone know how to fix it ? | 12:03 |
| darkenergy | qin, like the daemon is the main think used for servers so files just filenamed for filname server ? | 12:03 |
| qin | darkenergy: Well, in short it can mean "shellless process" | 12:03 |
| Drake| | Slart: I don't know if that was ment for me.. but for Nautilus sudo / gksudo is just the same.. but if he is running ex Opera as root "gksudo Opera" is recomended | 12:04 |
| darkenergy | qin, cool... like it's connected to kernel by itself? | 12:04 |
| darkenergy | not child of any shell | 12:04 |
| E3D3 | Slart: I really have no idea what those commands mean, I mostly copy/paste them without problems. Now I will read more, Thanks for your patience for my stupid question. | 12:04 |
| AdvoWork | ive just seen this in my daemon.log: dnsmasq[3210]: forwarding table overflow: check for server loops. any suggestions? | 12:05 |
| qin | darkenergy: No, it is normall process, but not stated via shell, rather via init | 12:05 |
| Slart | Drake|: oh.. I don't really know the specifics.. just figured I would give you two a heads up that gksudo might be a better choice | 12:05 |
| darkenergy | qin, oh yeah forgot about init | 12:05 |
| daniel__ | hello there is a vconversion program that can covert avi s to a droid screen what program is that ? | 12:05 |

| PythonSnake | liberycrusier: yes | 13:20 |
| liberycrusier | PythonSnake: how? | 13:21 |
| ikonia | podman99: which alert are you wondering requires an apache update for pci complience | 13:21 |
| PythonSnake | liberycrusier: pm | 13:21 |
| podman99 | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/634984/ | 13:22 |
| ikonia | podman99: the two CVE's you posted in this channel don't require an update, the APR issue is isolated to APR which has been patched, ubuntu ships that as a seperate package, so no apache upgrade/update is needed | 13:23 |
| podman99 | ikonia, | 13:23 |
| podman99 | ikonia, this would suggest that PCI compliance is wrong?/inaccurate? | 13:23 |
| darkenergy | hey, any documents that's more definitive than the man pages? | 13:24 |
| darkenergy | documents/books/guides etc | 13:24 |
| ikonia | podman99: apr is a part of apache, so in essense the "apache" package needs to be updates/patched, however ubuntu ships apr as a sperate package, which complies the the CVE, so falls in with complience | 13:24 |
| podman99 | ikonia, this may be the case however pci compliance is not passing on the site, perhaps hide apache version number? would this bypass this check. | 13:25 |
| Pici | darkenergy: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/community and http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ | 13:25 |
| ikonia | podman99: no, that would be miss-information, you need to submit an exception to the process detailing the apr version/patch level | 13:26 |
| em | darkenergy: I don't know about more definitive but maybe more helpful -- https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 13:26 |
| ikonia | podman99: however not advertising the apache version is a valid security process also | 13:26 |
| darkenergy | em, i guess not definitive... but maybe more clear :) | 13:26 |
| darkenergy | or yeah.. helpful :D | 13:27 |
| darkenergy | pici, em, thanks | 13:27 |
| em | darkenergy: yeah exactly. I dont really enjoy reading the man pages myself. I don't think they are really made to learn from. | 13:27 |
| em | they are easier to read once you already kind of know a lot about what it's talking about. | 13:27 |
| darkenergy | em, exactly | 13:27 |
| dr-willis | man pages are for referance. | 13:27 |
| darkenergy | dr-willis, just what i was about to say. trying to learn how to chroot is quite hard with man page at least for me | 13:28 |
| Pici | !chroot | darkenergy this should be helpful | 13:28 |
| ubottu | darkenergy this should be helpful: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 13:28 |
| dr-willis | i used to have a thick thick book of them printed out years ago | 13:28 |
| dr-willis | redhat used to sell one. good dry reading | 13:29 |
| darkenergy | dr-willis, the man pages? or some other source of commands, etc? | 13:29 |
| dr-willis | man pages.. | 13:29 |
| em | It would be neat if Ubuntu had a detailed manual that explained everything sort of the way I think FreeBSD does. But I guess that might be hard with every new releaes. | 13:29 |
| darkenergy | yeah.. that's what I was thinking. I'm aware of that one. I actually think there's another floating around out there. | 13:29 |
| dr-willis | ubuntu changes so much gui wise. but good docs for the underlaying stuff is good for a long time | 13:30 |
| podman99 | ikonia, I will call PCI compliance people here and see what info I can squeeze from them | 13:31 |
| podman99 | ikonia, thanks for the help | 13:31 |
| dr-willis | i saw some ok unity docs online... somewhere.. | 13:31 |
| ikonia | podman99: should be a simple exception to raise, just give the APR version against that CVE - the test is flawed | 13:32 |
| ikonia | podman99: I've just done the same for an openssh vunerability on redhat that had the fix back ported | 13:32 |
| em | If you are an expert helper in here and you see an easy question you should wait 20 extra seconds so that novice helpers have a chance to help. | 13:33 |

| glontu | problem is that eth1 dosn't work well. If i plug out the wire from it while pinging some ip it sits there for a while and after that and then i get destination host unreachable | 14:03 |
| bazhang | em, no need for the meta-commentary | 14:03 |
| glontu | on eth2 if i plug out the wire it waits and when i put it back it just starts responding to pings right away | 14:03 |
| glontu | how can i make eth1 be like eth2 ? | 14:03 |
| rnz | em: tnx! | 14:03 |
| em | rnz: you are very welcome. | 14:03 |

| Rebas | did it | 14:04 |
| DOOD | for ubuntu | 14:04 |

| bazhang | DOOD, what software, from where | 14:05 |
| em | Rebas: that's awesome. I'm glad I could help. | 14:05 |
| DOOD | li vnc | 14:05 |
| gry | http://codepad.org/xB003VC6 <-- didn't really do anything myself, mysql is misbehaving though, keeps restarting; the paste is the error log | 14:05 |
| bazhang | !software | DOOD please have a read | 14:05 |
| ubottu | DOOD please have a read: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 14:05 |

| em | I'm glad I could help some people out in here. My meta-commentary not with standing. I don't feel like bazhang wants me to talk though so i'll leave for now. | 14:05 |
| Rebas | after all that, i decided i didnt really like the KDE layout, so meh :P | 14:06 |
| tilted | In 10.04, on the Appearance preferences, there was a tab for Visual Effects and I would select "None" on this machine. I want to do the same for 11.04 under Ubuntu Classic, but the Visual Effects option isn't there. Is there a way to turn them off? | 14:06 |
| Rebas | but thanks for the help there | 14:06 |
| gry | tilted, yes - just select classic (no effects) option in login screen | 14:06 |
| mobodo | if I am an AMD64 installation of ubuntu, can I expect it to work fine on a new x64 host? Basically, I want to know if I can just swap the hard drive... | 14:06 |

| gry | ok | 14:07 |
| DOOD | bazhang,sorry 4 all the trouble | 14:07 |
| compdoc | mobodo, linux often works fine if you swap motherbaords | 14:07 |
| gry | compdoc: :) | 14:07 |
| bazhang | DOOD, no trouble. software should be installed from ubuntu software repositories (software warehouses of a sort) not 3rd party website, almost without exception | 14:08 |

| bazhang | DOOD, so you are set, great | 14:23 |
| Rebas | wow, typing fails | 14:24 |
| coz_ | rnz, not sure why you want to install this wihtout it's dependencies! even that link you showed suggests with depends | 14:24 |
| bazhang | pietr101, yes but slower obviously | 14:24 |
| pietr101 | Rabas: what kind of SD card do you recommend? | 14:24 |
| olds | learning english | 14:24 |
| pietr101 | i need to do it this way, because i don't have enough sata ports for raid and distro | 14:25 |

| coz_ | rnz, however,, if you want to try ##linux channel ,, maybe they have a suggestion | 14:25 |

| DOOD | bazhang, they have already installed the drivers | 14:27 |
| Rebas | pietr101: ive seen people have ubuntu installed on USB drives, but never done it myself. bu id imagine having a largeish storage is the only requirment. and that the computer can boot from USB (then have the SD card in a USB reader) | 14:28 |
| DOOD | bazhang, and by the way i have to reboot and select ubuntu | 14:28 |

| pietr101 | Rabas: actually mdadm (my software RAID) work with partitions too. That kinda solves my probem :D | 14:32 |
| Rebas | pietr101: that would depend on the transfer rate of the SD card. higher end card would have better rates, and therefore be faster | 14:32 |

| ikonia | Syniq: is it the model with the ATI card ? (I suspect it's the old ati bug) | 14:35 |
| Rebas | gluesniffmonkey: is this a builtin graphics adapter? (ie on monterboard) or a plug in one ( like in the PCI slot) ? if its built PCI, try disabling it in the bios, and put the cable on the inbuilt one | 14:35 |
| Syniq | ikonia: I think it's 32-bit, but both the 32- and 64-bit LiveCDs do the same thing. | 14:36 |
| gluesniffmonkey | on an iMac | 14:36 |

| Rebas | gluesniffmonkey: sorry, im not at all familiar with any apple models, so i cant really help more on that | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Syniq: it's worth trying to install it from the alternative CD which doesn't use a full on desktop gui for the intstaller | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Syniq: it's easier to fix on an intalled system, than a livecd | 14:38 |
| Syniq | ikonia: I can imagine... | 14:38 |
| gluesniffmonkey | It used to be ctl alt backspace | 14:38 |

| Syniq | Although that splash screen is really ugly. | 14:42 |
| CarlFK | cnf: gotcha. not as bad as I thought - I was affraid you were trying to track down a bug that goes away if you update. | 14:43 |

| torturedsoul | need bootable ubuntu usb stick | 14:44 |
| Rebas | truths :P | 14:44 |
| Syniq | The Mac Pros we have upstairs are all nVIDIA. | 14:44 |
| torturedsoul | i got a 4gb sandisk and the new ubuntu iso | 14:44 |
| Rebas | toturedsoul: on the ubuntu websiet, you can download Ubuntu for USB | 14:44 |
| Slart | torturedsoul: I've done it a couple of times.. I used the wizard-thing on ubuntu.com and just inserted the usb stick, rebooted and used the "select which boot device to boot from" menu from the bios | 14:44 |
| phaidros | cnf: dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections might help, if I understood your question correctly | 14:44 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, you can also try unetbootin | 14:45 |
| torturedsoul | rebas i did download the iso from the website | 14:45 |
| Rebas | make sure you bios can boot from removable devices | 14:45 |
| Syniq | Oh, FFS. It went black after the splash screen this time. :( | 14:45 |
| CarlFK | cnf: i think you can tell apt to pin a version, but I have no idea how to get all the versions installed on the server. sounds like lots of work. ( | 14:45 |
| torturedsoul | it can | 14:45 |
| cnf | phaidros: lemme read up on that | 14:45 |
| Syniq | Right, yet another LiveCD download to do | 14:45 |
| torturedsoul | i tried pendrivelinux | 14:45 |
| CarlFK | cnf: but I have never dug into it - I just update everything and hope for the best :) | 14:45 |
| torturedsoul | didnt work | 14:45 |
| Rebas | theres an .exe wizard to install on the ubuntu webstite, torturedsoul | 14:45 |
| torturedsoul | then i tried flashboot | 14:45 |
| cnf | last time i did this it was with portage, which lets you specify exact version numbers in a config file | 14:45 |
| phaidros | cnf: you are interested in specific version? try debtrack, it can create so called package snapshots, I believe including versions, but never used my self yet, tho .. | 14:45 |
| Rebas | from there you can configure the USB | 14:45 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, try unetbootin install it | 14:45 |
| CarlFK | cnf: just run trunk everything, then you know for sure the results: ka-boom! | 14:46 |
| torturedsoul | ok | 14:46 |
| cnf | phaidros: also looking into that | 14:46 |
| torturedsoul | unetbootin from website | 14:46 |
| shomon | hi, on the newest ubuntu, the window manager sometimes dies. So all the window decorations and buttons go... How do you restart it? | 14:46 |
| phaidros | any hints on 11.04 and intel graphix with no accel? | 14:46 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, from repository | 14:46 |
| shomon | apart from logging out and then back in | 14:46 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 14:46 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, also there is the minimal install cd | 14:46 |
| torturedsoul | im not running linux now | 14:46 |

| Rebas | which version of ubuntu is it, toturedsoul? | 14:47 |
| torturedsoul | do u think i can make it bootable | 14:47 |
| cnf | hmm, maybe i need to write a script that does 'apt-get install apache=<version>' | 14:47 |

| brainwave | shomon, just let me check, one minute | 14:47 |
| Rebas | 11.04? right? | 14:47 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, I know actionparsnip did with unetbootin but I wasnt able to | 14:47 |
| Pici | !who | Rebas | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Rebas: 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 :) | 14:47 |
| DMKitsch | anybody mind talking through how to set up AWstat, I have no file to load in my WWW directory? | 14:48 |
| shomon | thanks brainwave ! | 14:48 |
| Rebas | i am pici ;) | 14:48 |
| brainwave | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop; startx | 14:48 |

| Rebas | torturedsoul: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 14:48 |
| torturedsoul | minimal cd sounds good | 14:48 |
| Rebas | it says there about USB installs | 14:48 |
| brainwave | shomon, and give me some more time to look for a better solution | 14:48 |
| torturedsoul | i just need to use dd to do hdd backups | 14:48 |

| torturedsoul | so minimal install should have all i need | 14:48 |
| martian | Is there a commandline version of the tool that will select the fastest ubuntu repo? | 14:49 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, I always suggest it actually,, the only thing to remember is at one point a list of of what you can install shows up,, use the arrows to scroll and the "Space" bar to tick a box | 14:49 |
| spectacular | does anybody know what to do about xrandr giving an error of "failed to get size of gamma"? I have a 1280x800 screen but xrandr is only letting me set it to 1024x768, which, obviously, is a waste, and looks rather ugly | 14:49 |
| DMKitsch | anybody able to help? | 14:49 |
| shomon | :) okay, sure! | 14:49 |
| brainwave | shomon, did you try that? | 14:49 |
| Rebas | spectacular: are the drivers for your video card up to date? | 14:49 |
| torturedsoul | any tips on how to get the mini.iso to boot? | 14:49 |
| gertidon | hi all | 14:50 |
| martian | DMKitsch: Have you taken a look at this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AWStats | 14:50 |
| shomon | brainwave, doesn't that log out of everything? | 14:50 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, well,, I have done it on external HD or cd,, however I have not been successful using unetbootin,., which cd burnning utility are you using on windows? | 14:50 |
| shomon | I'm a bit scared of running startx from within X!.. | 14:50 |
| brainwave | well it does, not logout of everything, just the window manager | 14:50 |
| shomon | I mean, doesn't that close all your open applications? | 14:50 |
| brainwave | ok | 14:50 |
| brainwave | i | 14:50 |
| brainwave | i'll try that | 14:50 |
| beef-supreme | heeeelp | 14:50 |
| brainwave | wait | 14:51 |
| spectacular | Rebas, not sure how to check that. | 14:51 |
| FloodBot1 | brainwave: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:51 |
| torturedsoul | well i have pendrive linux or Flashboot | 14:51 |
| beef-supreme | i get FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss not found. | 14:51 |
| torturedsoul | flashboot can install grud4 or syslinux on it | 14:51 |
| gertidon | is there a command line tool like "tree|more" but with the possibility to up dans down line by line, select the line and open the file in vim ? (something like "vim ." | 14:51 |
| DMKitsch | martian, yes i did, however i have no link in my WWW to goto it | 14:51 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, I get that error too when typing "modprobe snd_seq_oss", that is normal | 14:51 |
| shomon | gertidon, maybe mc? | 14:52 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, how can i get it working? | 14:52 |
| === molotov is now known as MoL0ToV | ||
| coz_ | torturedsoul, are you on windows 7? | 14:52 |
| cnf | hmm, there must be a way to config this | 14:52 |
| Rebas | spectacular: I would suggest the graphic card manufacturers website, and get the latest, it sounds like thats the problem to me. | 14:52 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, looks like you are using an old tutorial. What are exactly trying to do? | 14:52 |
| torturedsoul | yes | 14:52 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, install tuxguitar | 14:53 |
| phaidros | cnf: read up on apt pinnning and /etc/apt/preferences .. | 14:53 |
| phaidros | debtrack didnt help? | 14:53 |
| MoL0ToV | hi to all. I have problem with mdadm. in /dev i cannot find sda1,sda2,sda3, etc... someone can help me? | 14:53 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, installing it or using it? | 14:53 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, I believe if you just right click the iso and choose burn disc image not sure which or any other options are available for that with right click | 14:53 |
| cnf | phaidros: as i understood pinning, i pin to a repository? | 14:53 |
| beef-supreme | install then use | 14:53 |
| martian | DMKitsch: the 'Alias' directive that it tells you to put in your virtual host apache2 config should tell apache that yoursite.com/awstats is an alias for /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ | 14:53 |
| torturedsoul | coz: if i wanted to make a dvd then yes | 14:53 |
| torturedsoul | but i want put it on usb | 14:53 |
| martian | DMKitsch: did you restart apache? | 14:53 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, or download infra recorder http://infrarecorder.org/ | 14:54 |
| phaidros | cnf: yes, but afaik you can fix certain versions as well | 14:54 |
| cnf | hmm | 14:54 |
| torturedsoul | i hate dvd's they always get scratched or lost with me | 14:54 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, if i start it i get /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory | 14:54 |
| DMKitsch | <martian> no | 14:54 |
| DMKitsch | one second | 14:54 |
| coz_ | torturedsoul, try that infra recorder ,, i have not used it but it may have options that the windows 7 buring uitlity does not | 14:54 |
| Rebas | torturedsoul: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 14:54 |
| torturedsoul | im using that rebas | 14:55 |
| torturedsoul | didnt work | 14:55 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, I get the same error, its irrelevant. Could it be, that tuxguitar is working properly but you just don't get sound? | 14:55 |
| spectacular | Rebas, i don't think they have a driver for linux | 14:55 |
| torturedsoul | i even let it download the iso for me | 14:55 |
| torturedsoul | select ubuntu from list | 14:55 |
| crooksey | If ive got a laptop running 1200x800, can i tell it to run at 1600x1050 when I connect it to a monitor? | 14:55 |
| Rebas | torturedsoul: try getting 10.04 LTS and using that instead | 14:55 |
| torturedsoul | ok | 14:55 |
| Rebas | its what i used, and it works a charm | 14:56 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, well, the whole point of tuxguitar is to get sound, otherwise it's useless, every once in a while instalation succeds and i get working sound but i don't know why it wont work now | 14:56 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, i'm pretty sure it has something to do with the missing modules | 14:56 |
| gertidon | shomon: thanks, interesting. | 14:56 |
| phaidros | cnf: I dont get your problem, your cloned system should get the same package versions than your server? | 14:56 |
| Rebas | Spectacular: who is the manufacturer? and what version of ubuntu do you use? | 14:56 |
| DMKitsch | martian do i have a problem then as i do not have a URL at the moment | 14:56 |
| brainwave | shomon, it doesnt work, true. But logging out and relogging in is the fastest way there is. I first thought u had to restart, but u only said re-login. So, that is the way out | 14:56 |
| torturedsoul | hmmm or might ubuntu server 10.04 be better | 14:56 |
| shomon | yw gertidon - a relic from the 80s! | 14:57 |
| brainwave | If it happens many times, probably you might try zeroing in on the cause of the buttons dying out | 14:57 |
| torturedsoul | i dont need gui anyway | 14:57 |
| phaidros | cnf: so do dpkg get-selections on the server into a file and then do on the clone a dpkg set-selection from that copied file. so you have a clone .. | 14:57 |
| shomon | nah, not when you're in the middle of developing stuff and you have 20+ windows and terms open, brainwave | 14:57 |
| cnf | phaidros: if the server has not been updated for a while. how will a new dev install get the same version? | 14:57 |
| anonymous | anonymous2 | 14:57 |
| martian | DMKitsch: you should check your apache log by opening a new terminal and typing: tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log | 14:57 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest11491 | ||
| phaidros | cnf: ah well, dpkg might not be aware of versions. hm, so use debtrack to make a snapshot | 14:57 |
| === Guest11491 is now known as anonymous2 | ||
| martian | DMKitsch: then restart apache from another terminal, and you'll see if there are any errors. | 14:58 |
| === anonymous2 is now known as anonymous0 | ||
| spectacular | Rebas, i'm using ubuntu 11.whatever. And apparently it's a Sis Mirage | 14:58 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, I dont think so, that issue is usual and also happens to me on every new computer. Start tuxguitar, go in the tuxguitar settings and tell me your settings under "Sound" | 14:58 |
| phaidros | cnf: or write all package versions in /etc/apt/preferences | 14:58 |
| cnf | yeah, i googled debtrack. all i get is software to managed debt ^^; | 14:58 |
| Rebas | toruredsoul: as long as your USB has anough space, either one should work | 14:58 |
| cnf | phaidros: well, i only need apache, php, mysql etc | 14:58 |
| cnf | the rest i do not much care about | 14:58 |
| netspy | want to access my router's serial port using putty client on natty | 14:58 |
| cnf | so looking at prefernces, and how to note the versions | 14:58 |
| phaidros | cnf: etc means all libs, that might not ne fun doing it by hand | 14:58 |
| spectacular | Rebas, VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) | 14:58 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, tuxguitar sequencer (should have real sequencer in there), midi through port (should have java sequencer in there) | 14:59 |
| cnf | phaidros: i'm assuming apt is smart enough to know what lib versions to install if i tell it what apache version i want? | 14:59 |
| Rebas | spectacular: it could be that ubuntu 11.04 dosent have a driver for it yet, as its quite new | 14:59 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, "should have"? you are confusing me | 14:59 |
| spectacular | Rebas, what would you suggest? | 15:00 |
| routh | I am attempting to compile a .deb from source; however the dh_make reruns the ./configure script for the package when it's run. By doing so it removes a required 'options.h' file, causing the make process to fail. Is there a way to tell dh_make to skip the ./configure step, or tell it to run 'make update' before running make install? | 15:00 |
| landingonwater | trouble setting up user on proftpd. Is there some guide for idiots ? | 15:00 |
| === rhaley is now known as anonymous0 | ||
| phaidros | cnf: hope so, if not it will try to solve the deps until it fits somehow and lets you choose :) | 15:00 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, when tuxguitar works, those options are available, the java sound sequencer is included in the installation files, if i run the exact same binaries in puppy linux the real time and java options are available | 15:00 |
| brainwave | @all:any place to see which datatype is defined in what way in gtk? a gtk- all terms dictionary sort of | 15:00 |
| Rebas | spectacular: if possible, try another graphics card if you have one, downgrade to 10.04 LTS. or google is your friend | 15:01 |
| DMKitsch | martain i seem to be getting no where so bye | 15:01 |
| Rebas | either one ^^ | 15:01 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, so you can't even start tuxguitar? | 15:01 |
| torturedsoul | is there some known issue with the 11.04 on usb... hence the recomendation to try older version? | 15:01 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, i can, but the sound doesn't work | 15:01 |
| Rebas | torturedsoul: 10.04 has been out for longer, its possible the usb installer cannot move 11.04 just yet | 15:02 |
| Incarus6_ | torturedsoul, the live-usb version is working fine | 15:02 |
| landingonwater | so.. when creating a ftp user, first I create the linux user and set homedir at the same time. But how to turn that into an FTP account ?? | 15:03 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, so "tuxguitar-jsa" is installed? Under Midi Port I got the option "Gervill" (I think thats the java thing) which is working fine | 15:03 |
| beef-supreme | gervill is not java sound sequencer | 15:03 |
| torturedsoul | my usb is a sandisk | 15:04 |
| jasonlfunk | Does anyone know where I can get a package to install Apache 2.0? | 15:04 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, and i don't even have gervil on my installation | 15:04 |
| Pici | jasonlfunk: The package name is apache2 oddly enough | 15:05 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, so? I don't have any package called Gervill too, but it is working | 15:05 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, i found gervil but if i run it i get error "midi system unavailable" | 15:05 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException: Can not open line | 15:06 |
| jasonlfunk | Pici: That is for apache 2.2... I want apache 2.0 | 15:06 |
| rxgod | good morning | 15:06 |

| rxgod | Can someone point me toward info on recovery from a failed Natty upgrade? | 15:06 |
| jasonlfunk | Pici: In order to test a module that I wrote. | 15:07 |

| em | rxgod: I don't know. | 15:10 |
| rxgod | I was in the middle of the dist-upgrade and the box locked up. One hard reboot later and ...well, it' gimped | 15:10 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, i would rather not do that, in the past i've used timidity every once in a while but that lacks a lot of instruments | 15:10 |
| em | rxgod: see if this seems related to your issue -- https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/155999 | 15:11 |
| Pici | jasonlfunk: I don't see that we ship apache2.0 at all. You might want to ask in #ubuntu-server if anyone has a better idea though. | 15:11 |
| em | rxgod: to me that sounds pretty similar. If you can make a backup of any of your files first that would be ideal and then try that. | 15:11 |
| jasonlfunk | Pici: okay, thanks. | 15:12 |
| rxgod | Thanks for the link. What I have is a buttload of broken dependencies and such. | 15:12 |
| escott | rxgod, you could try to boot the livecd, then chroot inside and continue the upgrade | 15:13 |
| mobodo | my ubuntu loads into busybox, when I type "exit" it then boots fine after displaying a whole bunch of ata2 errors and exceptions - should I be worried? | 15:13 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, whats about: http://community.tuxguitar.com.ar/tuxguitar-live/ | 15:13 |
| ikonia | rxgod: if you have broken deps - it's more likley you have external repos causing conflicts, do you have any external repos enabled or ppas ? | 15:13 |
| rxgod | I was searching for possible dpkg, apt-get, or aptitude info to solve the problem...unless you think otherwise. | 15:13 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, tried it, it doesn't do anything, it just downloads a jnlp(?) file | 15:14 |
| Incarus6_ | rxgod, is it solved yet? | 15:14 |
| PythonSnake | Hi | 15:14 |
| rxgod | The deps are for core packages (xorg-video-*, eg) | 15:14 |
| Incarus6_ | beef-supreme, you need to have java enabled for that | 15:14 |
| bazhang | PythonSnake, hi | 15:14 |
| PythonSnake | Who was I talking with ? | 15:14 |
| beef-supreme | Incarus6_, how is java not enabled? | 15:14 |

| torturedsoul | i've managed to get miniuntuntu on the usb stick, when i restart the computer with usb in, a screen appears asking me to install ubuntu | 15:15 |
| torturedsoul | BUT | 15:15 |
| torturedsoul | will this install it on my hdd? or on the usb | 15:15 |
| torturedsoul | i can't have it whipe my hdd | 15:15 |
| ikonia | rxgod: do you have any external repos / ppas on your system ? | 15:15 |
| Incarus6_ | rxgod, so it haven't upgraded any packages, the upgrade is failing due to the failed dependency check? | 15:15 |
| Rebas | torturedsoul: if you choose install, you can have it install side by side, and not wipe the hard drive | 15:16 |
| Rebas | you then have both linux and windows | 15:16 |
| torturedsoul | can't i just install it on the usb, its 4gb i think its enough space | 15:16 |

| bazhang | PythonSnake, kde4 does not have unity | 15:16 |
| torturedsoul | ok | 15:16 |
| Rebas | youd need a CD, btto from that, and install onto the USB | 15:16 |
| ikonia | coco: X doesn't work like that, use hilight and middle mouse button | 15:17 |

| bazhang | PythonSnake, you dont. | 15:18 |

| bazhang | PythonSnake, ubuntu has unity. you dont remove it | 15:18 |
| Incarus6_ | rxgod, ikonia, that wasn't a dependency error. rxgod, try "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 15:18 |
| coco | IKonia: what you mean by using the middle mouse button? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: ok - this won't cause a problem, it's just a test. do don't worry | 15:18 |
| bazhang | PythonSnake, if you want to remove gnome, that is the link | 15:19 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: ntpdate 0.uk.pool.ntp.org | 15:19 |
| rxgod | Hmm. OK. doing that now | 15:19 |
| bil21al | is file manager,dash and launchpad options are present in ubuntu classic????? if so than how could i find them??? | 15:19 |
| PythonSnake | bazhang: How to remove unity | 15:19 |
| Incarus6_ | rxgod, is the command returning an output? | 15:19 |
| kubanc | does anyone have any tutorial how to set printing from virtualbox Windows OS to ubuntu via network? | 15:19 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: what happens with that (it will change your clock) | 15:19 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: without sudo, permission denied. with sudo, the NTP socket is in use, exiting. | 15:19 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: cool, | 15:19 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: so that means it's not running due to ntp is already running | 15:20 |
| bazhang | PythonSnake, I just told you, its part of gnome, you dont remove it. choose classic in ubuntu if you dont like or choose kde4 | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: ntpdate uses the same socket as ntp | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: stop ntpd and then test it | 15:20 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: ah, i thought they were the same thing. | 15:20 |
| Rebas | kubanc: in the windows virtual machine, start->printer and faxes->add printer" and browse for a network printer | 15:20 |
| morth | --butonbar 0 | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: they are, but they are 2 seperate programs, one is a daemon that runs in the background, one is a command to do a date sync "now" | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: you can't use both at the same time | 15:20 |
| PythonSnake | bazhang ok thanks for the help | 15:20 |
| coco | morth: u agree with ikonia to use the middle mouse button and that ctl c an v do not work right? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: make sense ? | 15:20 |
| kubanc | Rebas, if only it would be so simple, but it cannot find any printer... | 15:21 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: ok, after stopping the daemon the command worked. yeah, makes sense. | 15:21 |
| coco | Ikoni and Morth: my mouse is attached to my computer | 15:21 |
| Rebas | kubanc: make sure the virtual machine is on the same workgroup as the network printer | 15:21 |
| morth | coco: yes, just hilight what you need and use your middle mouse button, if you think about it thats 1 shortcut faster. | 15:21 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: ok, so now you know it can sync, you can have cofidence ntp works you just need to hit valid servers | 15:21 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: so... theoretically my time was already sync'd by the daemon then. | 15:21 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: quite probable, yes | 15:21 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: oh yeah, that's right. better prove out my servers. | 15:21 |
| morth | coco: rather than hilight CTRL+C then CTRL+V your just doing hilight MOUSE button. | 15:22 |
| coco | morth: I don't have a middle mouse button though | 15:22 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: when you start ntpd if you look in the syslog you should see it hit the servers then adjust with offet -349875945.234 or something like that | 15:22 |
| Rebas | kubanc: and the virtal machine can connect to the web. most virtual machines can use the linux network adaptor, see if thats also the issue | 15:22 |
| escott | coco, use both left and right buttons at the same time | 15:22 |
| bil21al | is filemanager,dash,and launchpad options are present in ubuntu classic??? if so than any body tell me where are they present??? | 15:22 |
| morth | coco: darn no idea then sorry. | 15:22 |
| escott | coco, if that doesn't work you can enable 3-button emulation in the mouse preferences | 15:23 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: ok. thanks for the help! | 15:23 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: using ntpdate is a simple way to validate the time servers though | 15:23 |
| coco | escott: the left and right button worked thanks | 15:24 |
| coco | btw does anyone here use python? | 15:24 |
| kubanc | Rebas, my workroup in widnows is named WORKGROUP, so now i need to add printers in ubuntu to WORKGROUP folder (system-config-printer)? | 15:24 |

| PythonSnake | what is gedit for kubuntu ? | 15:25 |
| spectacular | PythonSnake, Rebas, FYI: I found the solution here: http://hellbunker.blogspot.com I had to tinker with his script a bit, because it was a little bit broken (missing a hyphen here, extra character there), but by looking at it and following the steps, i got it working. thanks for your help! | 15:25 |
| PythonSnake | kedit ? | 15:25 |
| bazhang | PythonSnake, kate perhaps | 15:25 |
| PythonSnake | ok | 15:25 |
| edbian | PythonSnake: kwrite is another more complicated one | 15:25 |
| coco | Well, I though that ubuntntu made it easy to intall GASP for python but I am having problems installing it | 15:25 |
| Rebas | kubanc: in my virtual machine, i just made sure that was on the same workgroup, didnt edi the ubuntu section at all | 15:26 |
| Rebas | spectacular: glad to hear it ^^ | 15:26 |
| Incarus6_ | coco, "sudo apt-get install python-gasp" | 15:27 |
| razmataz | do other distros of ubuntu or linux (aside from ubuntu 11.04) have similar default media controls where i can control playback from anywhere with shortcut keys? and if not how can i add this to a distro? | 15:27 |
| kubanc | Rebas, you said:make sure the virtual machine is on the same workgroup as the network printer. and how ca i see in which workgroup is the printer in the ubuntu ? | 15:27 |

| === PythonSnake is now known as KubuntuSnake | ||
| KubuntuSnake | Hi moystard | 15:28 |
| moystard | Quick question: I switch super often from a direct connection to a proxy connection and would like to do it quickly without having to go in the Gnome Network Proxy Preferences. Do you know a tool to do that? | 15:29 |
| moystard | or at least associate a proxy with a network interface/ | 15:29 |
| coco | Incarus6_: so I tried the sudo apt -get install and for some reason this command does not work | 15:29 |
| Incarus6_ | coco, define "does not work", any output? | 15:29 |
| bazhang | coco, no space | 15:29 |
| bazhang | coco, apt-get not apt -get | 15:29 |
| kubanc | Rebas, the printer is installed on other machine, and not direct to the router. I can print from another PC ,on which i have ubuntu OS, but i cannot print from virtualBox, that is installed on this PC | 15:30 |
| === KubuntuSnake is now known as GNOMESnake | ||

| coco | Incarus6_ the message I get is this password for <myname> and then when I type my password it says command not found | 15:33 |
| djkee | hey, how is going everyone :D | 15:33 |
| escott | moystard, alternately many programs will respect http_proxy environment variables | 15:33 |
| Incarus6_ | coco, make sure you typed the command correctly, use copy paste: "sudo apt-get install python-gasp" | 15:33 |
| Rebas | kubanc: i might have got lucky with my ubuntu, as i didnt have to change any workgroups, so im not sure how to find out what one your on inside ubuntu. | 15:34 |
| samelco | hey! has anyone figured out how to get audio to work over hdmi on the revo aspire? | 15:35 |
| Rebas | kubanc: but the network at my house is MSHOME, and it prints fine.. maybe you could try changing yours to that? | 15:35 |

| jimmy51_ | i've sync'd NTP on both machines | 15:39 |
| moystard | escott, but a lot of them don't | 15:39 |
| Incarus6 | coco, you are welcome. is it working now? | 15:39 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: ok - so that means the clock drift is too great to sync | 15:39 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: there are rules with things like kerberos, AD, etc etc that if the client has a clock drift too far out from the server, it won't authenticate | 15:40 |
| coco | Incarus: yes, it is | 15:40 |
| DOOD | bazhang, !information plz | 15:40 |
| jimmy51_ | ikonia: but i can look at the clocks and see the time is the same | 15:40 |
| bazhang | DOOD, about what? ask the channel your question. if someone knows they will answer | 15:40 |
| inashdeen | hi, need a guie, how do i make a ppa package. step by step please... | 15:40 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: but it believes its not. so the question is, what makes it think the clock is out | 15:40 |
| razmataz | exactly what is it that allows me to control my audio playback from my default media player without having the GUI for the media player open in ubuntu 11.04 that might allow me to do the same i other distros? | 15:40 |
| Rebas | bazhang: he wants the links you sent him before, again | 15:40 |
| ikonia | jimmy51_: do a date on the client and the server, and look at the it, does it look the same ? | 15:41 |
| DOOD | bazhang, about the links u sent me besore | 15:41 |
| inashdeen | by the way, need a friend to perfect my existing project, gui for logkeys, i wrote in buc. anyone interested??? | 15:41 |

| COOLDOOD | hi i have aproblem with my ralink wireless network stick | 16:12 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: just explain the problem (in one line) | 16:12 |
| Rebas | dimas_ have you looked in System->admin->sound? | 16:13 |
| Rebas | dimas_ sorry, system->preferences->sound | 16:13 |
| Rebas | my bad | 16:13 |
| ivaylov | i got it sorted, thanks :) | 16:13 |
| Rebas | dimas_ right click it, and press "add launcher to panel" | 16:14 |
| dimas_ | Rebas says waiting for the sound systen to answer | 16:14 |
| Rebas | hm | 16:14 |
| djkee | sound driver, i had the same problem. | 16:14 |
| dimas_ | the sound works perfect but no volume control | 16:15 |
| pietr101 | Hello, what do you recommend for remote access to my ubuntu box. So I can listen to my music/watch movies? | 16:15 |
| COOLDOOD | LjL, everytime i plug in the stick it dosent detect it and i dont have a driver for it | 16:15 |
| ikonia | pietr101: over the internet ? | 16:15 |
| pietr101 | ikonia: yes | 16:15 |
| Core | susundberg: i am afraid the script is ok | 16:15 |
| Core | pietr101: i would say SSH in and over the tunnel use VNC or the builtin remote desktop | 16:16 |
| ikonia | pietr101: watching movies over the net.........not something I'd suggest doing, you could just serve the files on a web server simple enough | 16:16 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: please insert the stick, type "lsusb" in a terminal and post the output to the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 16:16 |
| dimas_ | Rebas when i tryed to launch from System>Preferences it says is waiting for the sound system to respond and then dont open | 16:16 |
| djkee | @dimas, try to install pulseaudio from the terminal. | 16:16 |
| COOLDOOD | but i also have a usb mouse | 16:16 |
| COOLDOOD | LjL, is that ok | 16:16 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: worst that will happen is that i will be able to see what mouse model you have. | 16:16 |
| pietr101 | Core: you mean like with X11 port forwarding? | 16:16 |
| Rebas | dimas_: have you right clicked it, and pressed "add the launcher" ? | 16:16 |
| COOLDOOD | ok | 16:17 |
| Rebas | add launcher to panel* | 16:17 |
| Core | pietr101: yes that is indeed possible if i am not mistaken | 16:17 |
| pietr101 | hmm, i'll try it right now | 16:17 |
| Core | For the people who know about my issue, googling atm but all help is welcome | 16:18 |
| upside | i installed ubuntu 11.04. I have two monitors and want to setup the dual screen. it can detect only one monitor. how do i setup? | 16:19 |
| dimas_ | Rebas a launcher is just a launcher...if it doesnt open from where it is doesnt make any sence to create launcher in another location | 16:19 |
| COOLDOOD | LjL, done and here is the link:http://paste.ubuntu.com/635111/ | 16:19 |
| COOLDOOD | http://paste.ubuntu.com/635111/ | 16:19 |
| Rebas | worth a shot ^_^ | 16:20 |
| Core | susundberg: is it possible i need to load an network module in initramfs ? | 16:20 |
| dimas_ | Rebas that is just a trigger | 16:20 |
| COOLDOOD | ^ | 16:20 |
| pietr101 | Core: i get no sound :-( | 16:21 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: which Ubuntu version are you running? | 16:21 |
| dimas_ | what is the name of the pulseaudio volume so i can try open from terminal? | 16:21 |
| Core | pietr101: i don't know if sound is possible that way :) i never tried that :D | 16:21 |
| a-l-e | is there any way to make a "usb livecd" persistent? | 16:22 |
| COOLDOOD | the latest one whatever it is | 16:22 |
| pietr101 | Core: ok,thx. btw, what is your issue you need help with? | 16:22 |
| Core | Hello people i am having problems with remote unlock from my encrypted HDD (ubuntu server), in order to not spam all i've pasted details here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/635087/ :) | 16:22 |
| Core | i pasted it fast :D i am after all a lazy person | 16:22 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: with the card inserted, try typing "ifconfig -a" and pastebin that | 16:23 |
| COOLDOOD | ok | 16:23 |

| Slart | a-l-e: I think there is an option for that when/if you create your live usb thingy using the howto on ubuntu.com | 16:25 |
| Odisha1 | hello.. | 16:25 |
| Slart | a-l-e: at least that should work for when you create a new live usb stick. I'm not sure if you can make an already existing live usb stick persistent | 16:25 |
| Odisha1 | i hv a back-light problem.. plz help me | 16:25 |
| Odisha1 | i m using ubuntu 11.04 | 16:26 |
| susundberg | Core: The initramfs should have afaik the network module loaded | 16:26 |
| Rebas | could have sworn he said "im missing ubuntu 11.04" :P | 16:26 |
| susundberg | Core: did you take look at the scripts hooks mentioned at initramfs-tools manual? | 16:26 |
| LjL | COOLDOOD: ok so the card is recognized, at least... try typing "iwlist scan", see if it scans for networks | 16:27 |
| Rebas | howd ya lose it? :P | 16:27 |
| susundberg | Core: i think you need to set up the network somewhere there to get it working .. | 16:27 |
| Core | susundberg: yea i tried it in /etc/initramfs/initramfs.conf as well static as dhcp but not really working | 16:27 |
| Odisha1 | hey.. i m new to ubuntu.. plz tell me in full details.. | 16:28 |
| a-l-e | Slart: ... didn't work here... | 16:28 |
| lduros | hello, whenever trying to use ssh and a key, I get prompted with "Enter password to unlock the private key" | 16:28 |
| compdoc | Odisha1, a laptop? | 16:28 |
| ikonia | lduros: yes, you need to use the key password | 16:29 |
| a-l-e | i used unetbootin to create the image and didn't see any option for it | 16:29 |
| Odisha1 | compdoc yes | 16:29 |
| lduros | ikonia: so that's the password that was set when the key was set? | 16:29 |
| susundberg | Core: But the initramfs.conf manpage has no mention about manpage there? | 16:29 |
| compdoc | Odisha1, whats wrong with the backlight? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | lduros: correct | 16:29 |
| susundberg | ... mention about network there? | 16:29 |
| lduros | ikonia: hmm, not sure anymore what it is pain. On another of my computers I only have to enter my regular user password for some reason | 16:29 |
| Odisha1 | compdoc hmm yess | 16:29 |
| compdoc | hmm yes what? | 16:30 |
| Sighter | Trying to set up VSTs (i) on Ubuntu any help? | 16:30 |
| Slart | a-l-e: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 16:30 |
| ikonia | lduros: that means you're not using an ssh key on your other computer | 16:30 |
| lduros | ikonia: I am | 16:30 |
| Core | susundberg: no fear not, tried it but didn't get me out of my issue either | 16:30 |
| ikonia | lduros: you're not - unless your normal password is the same as your ssh key | 16:30 |
| a-l-e | Slart: thanks... i'm going to read it... | 16:31 |
| susundberg | Core: i mean those ifconfig stuff needs to be on script, not on configure file that is probably parsed somehow? | 16:31 |
| lduros | ikonia: hmmm | 16:31 |
| susundberg | (and should give parse error then .. ) | 16:31 |
| a-l-e | ... right now... | 16:31 |
| susundberg | Core: quite bad instructions are only ones that i found out.. sorry, good luck with it. I am afraid that you have quite a challenge there .. you need to figure out what to do by debugging the scripts or reading some manual (that is probably not written) | 16:32 |
| mneptok | lduros: protip: when you first login to your own machine, open a terminal and run "ssh-add" and supply the password for your ssh key. you will never be prompted for a password for the key again during that session. | 16:32 |
| susundberg | Core: initramfs manuals would be maybe the place to start reading .. | 16:32 |
| Sighter | Trying to set up VSTs (i) on Ubuntu any help? | 16:33 |
| Core | susundberg: thanks :) i have been reading through them but like you sad those you find are quite bad :D | 16:33 |
| susundberg | Core: that is usually the case with the manuals -- if they are not outdated they are too short to be any use ;) | 16:33 |

| Dynamit | Hi, I'm running webmin and usermin and change the port on the webmin usermin so will be at 10000 which is of course the default port but virtualmin web interface is not available on port | 16:44 |
| emprameen | the drive has a jumper to indicate it's a main drive | 16:44 |
| pietr101 | Sighter: how about reading a man page first? | 16:44 |
| genii-around | !webmin | 16:44 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 16:44 |
| pietr101 | Sighter: type "man bash", that will answer your question | 16:45 |
| compdoc | emprameen, some drives dont require a jumper when by themselves on the cable. But some do. you checked to see what the jumper setting is for? | 16:45 |
| === trekkie is now known as trekkie1701c | ||

| whosurdaddy | is any command that i could use to mount my c: d: e：？ | 16:51 |

| whosurdaddy | yes | 16:52 |

| dr_willis | whosurdaddy, you can mount ntfs filesysmtes. but you cant set /home/ to be on a NTFS | 16:57 |

| dr_willis | You could link files from the ntfs to a location in your home.. but you have to watch out for permissions | 16:57 |

| knightrage | hey guys. so i have a 2TB drive ecryptfs partition mounted as /home, but now i need to actually make the partition my root (/) partition and install the OS on there. is there any complications that will arise since the partition is encrypted? | 17:08 |
| DasEi | TDJACR: no, graphically just , and kind of connection | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | I suggest backing up the /home/ somewhere unencrypted first knightrage | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | the installer will want to format / ,. and im not sure you can just 'install' to an encrypted filesystem without some extra work. | 17:09 |
| knightrage | i see | 17:09 |
| TDJACR | DasEi: Ah, not exactly what I'm looking for, but thank you :) | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | or at least resize the /home/ and put a / at the front. | 17:10 |
| TDJACR | DasEi: Have you ever used Vidalia, the Tor control panel? | 17:10 |
| dr_willis | even then. you should backup. | 17:10 |
| knightrage | dr_willis: gotcha... yeah, i had a 500gb hd crash on me that held the OS and now i'm stuck with the 2tb encrypted /home | 17:10 |
| DasEi | TDJACR: http://tinyurl.com/6zyvteu | 17:11 |

| TSG | It was much easier when I could right click --> open file as root | 18:07 |
| dr_willis_ | n contrast, a umask of 000 will make newly created directories readable, writable and descendible for everyone (the permissions will be 777). Such a umask is highly insecure and you should never set the umask to 000 | 18:08 |

| dr_willis_ | desendable dirs are executable... | 18:08 |
| TSG | I need to extract a file into /usr/share/gnome-shell/ and it is saying I need to be root | 18:09 |
| Guest98744 | trying to create a server using ubuntu server. Have a domain name, 11.04 installed on an independant computer, and a website made ready to be uploaded. Can't connect to server using WinSCP or any other client software and if i search for it in firefox it connects me to our router requesting the loggin information. How can i fix or where can i get help? | 18:09 |
| escott | TSG, the point is that when you start that root shell your pwd is changed to /root because that is $HOME for root. you need to specify the full path to the file which is /home/username/whatever | 18:09 |
| dr_willis_ | TSG, that makes sence. | 18:09 |
| dr_willis_ | TSG, you need to do suich tasks with 'root' priviliges. via sudo normally | 18:09 |
| user_ | who can help me? | 18:10 |
| graingert | heya | 18:10 |

| Snicers | which is needed for php scripts. | 18:11 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, umask of 000 would set the modes to be 777 | 18:11 |
| Odisha1 | hello.. i m using ubuntu install through windows instraller. i m having problem with LCD backlight. plz help me. | 18:12 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_, it is not, 000 sets it to -rw-rw-rw- | 18:12 |
| TSG | What would be the sudo command to transfer a file from /home/nick/downloads/ to /usr/share/gnome-shell/ ?? | 18:13 |
| jimmy51_ | doh. thought i was in server | 18:13 |
| dr_willis_ | try 0000 perhaps.. checking for excamples via google | 18:13 |

| Abhijit | is clamav no more for linux? | 18:14 |
| user | ubottu: Huh? I didn't ask a question | 18:14 |
| ubottu | user: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:14 |
| graingert | Abhijit, no | 18:14 |
| user | ubottu: I didn't I simply stated I didn't ask to ask. | 18:14 |
| ubottu | user: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:14 |
| Abhijit | graingert, any quality alternate? | 18:14 |
| dr_willis_ | ahh files and dirs are treated differntly with umask it seems. | 18:14 |
| dr_willis_ | Assuming the umask has the value 174, any new file will be created with the permissions 602 and any new directory will have permissions 603 | 18:14 |
| graingert | apt://clamav | 18:14 |
| Abhijit | ubuntu wiki still contains info abour clamav. | 18:15 |
| Abhijit | graingert, amm? | 18:15 |
| TSG | I'm not new to linux, I am just having difficulties from the switch from mint11 ->>> natty gnome 3 | 18:15 |
| graingert | Abhijit, I am on 11.04 | 18:15 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_, correct, but is there no way to get x with umask on files? | 18:15 |
| graingert | Abhijit, and it works fine for me | 18:15 |
| graingert | Abhijit, just install it at apt://clamav | 18:15 |
| Odisha1 | hello.. i m using ubuntu install through windows instraller. i m having problem with LCD backlight. plz help me.. | 18:15 |
| graingert | Abhijit, or if you can't you have some issue with your repos | 18:15 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, all i am doing is googling and reading... You are doing this also in addation to sitting here in irc? :) | 18:16 |
| graingert | Odisha1, it's wubi, and can you tell us what device you are installing to | 18:16 |
| Abhijit | graingert, i currently have clamav installed. but its old version. not updated. | 18:16 |
| Abhijit | graingert, i am on lucid btw. | 18:16 |
| llutz | Snicers: umask can't do that | 18:16 |
| graingert | Abhijit, install apt://clamav-freshclam | 18:16 |
| user | Any good programs to record ubuntu screens? | 18:16 |
| KM0201 | Odisha1: step 1. dump wubi | 18:16 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_, several tabs of reference, youtube videos, and an hour into it before I came here. | 18:16 |
| graingert | Abhijit, ah, update to 11.04 for latest packages | 18:16 |
| Abhijit | graingert, what is that? is it the orifinal clamav? | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | user: desktop recorder | 18:17 |
| Pici | !screencast | user | 18:17 |
| ubottu | user: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | !info gtk-desktop-recorder | 18:17 |
| ubottu | Package gtk-desktop-recorder does not exist in natty | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 18:17 |
| graingert | Abhijit, that's the clam updater | 18:17 |
| kevin123 | is there a way to force the gui to come up? | 18:17 |
| Abhijit | graingert, ok | 18:17 |
| graingert | kevin123, no | 18:17 |
| dr_willis_ | so 000 does it for dirs.. but not files. | 18:17 |
| Abhijit | graingert, its already installed here | 18:17 |
| kevin123 | so if it doesnt boot how do i troubleshoot it | 18:17 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_, yup, why the hell did they do that? | 18:17 |
| graingert | kevin123, it? | 18:17 |
| KM0201 | user: are you wanting screenshots, or to record what happens on screen (for a video) | 18:17 |
| llutz | Snicers: why do you want executable files by default? | 18:17 |
| graingert | kevin123, what is it? | 18:17 |
| kevin123 | tried to boot ubuntu livecd and the computer wont boot | 18:18 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, security and you normally DO want dirs executable.. | 18:18 |
| dr_willis_ | or else you cant cd into them | 18:18 |
| kevin123 | it gets stuck at stopping system v rnlevel compatibility | 18:18 |
| escott | TSG, sounds like you are new to unix (or at least new to the command line -- which is fine just ask the question directly) sudo cp /home/nick/Downloads/theme-whatever.tgz /usr/share/gnome-shell. then sudo chown root:root /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme-whatever.tgz; cd /usr/share/gnome-shell; sudo tar -xzvf theme-whatever.tgz | 18:18 |
| user | KM0201: I want to record a webcam session | 18:18 |
| graingert | kevin123, odd, google the device or try the alternate install disk | 18:18 |
| KM0201 | hmm, not sure on recording just the webcam session. | 18:18 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, your task of 'making every new file executable by default' is a much 'stranger' thing to be doing. :) | 18:18 |
| Tekk_`` | oh! | 18:18 |
| Tekk_`` | what's the updated kernel ppa? | 18:18 |
| KM0201 | !info recordmydesktop | 18:19 |
| ubottu | recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.8.1+svn602-1ubuntu3 (natty), package size 54 kB, installed size 148 kB | 18:19 |
| kevin123 | should i try a 64 bit disk? | 18:19 |
| KM0201 | i knew i wasn't crazy | 18:19 |
| Tekk_`` | that's why I can't get it working, the official ubuntu kernel was too old | 18:19 |
| Tekk_`` | memory is a great thing when it works.. | 18:19 |
| graingert | kevin123, no idea what device are you using | 18:19 |
| dr_willis_ | by default, a directory is created with 777 and a file 666. | 18:19 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_ that makes sense of course, but I need php scripts executable otherwise visitors to a site can't use them. | 18:19 |
| graingert | Odisha1, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Hardware | 18:20 |
| escott | user, try cheese | 18:20 |
| graingert | Odisha1, okay | 18:20 |
| graingert | Odisha1, what model? | 18:20 |
| kevin123 | i am just using an old demsnsion 5150 PC it has data that i need to recover, the processor is compatiable with 64 bit os ( i know because i have a 64 bit freeBSD system running on another pc that is the same) | 18:20 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, you have to do it some other way.. basicakky its a security feature.. | 18:21 |
| dr_willis_ | Snicers, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/64956-umask-files.html | 18:21 |
| llutz | Snicers: php-scripts to be run by a webserver? they don't need to be executable | 18:21 |
| escott | kevin123, in the live cd run the following command "grep flags /proc/cpuinfo" it will list processor capabilities. see if "lm" is in that list | 18:21 |
| dr_willis_ | llutz, i was thinking that also.. but i dont do web servers. :) | 18:21 |
| graingert | escott, can you do that from the live cd boot loader? | 18:21 |
| Snicers | dr_willis_ I just came across that site myself lol | 18:21 |
| llutz | dr_willis_: at least none of my _working_ php-files are exec | 18:21 |
| kevin123 | nothing happens | 18:22 |
| escott | graingert, no sorry didn't realize kevin123 was stuck at the bootloader | 18:22 |
| Odisha1 | graingert, i m using Emachines E727 | 18:22 |
| graingert | Odisha1, what is the problem you are having with the LCD? | 18:22 |
| Odisha1 | whn i boot to ubuntu then backlight turns off | 18:23 |
| edgarpoe | Hi until today my Ubuntu was working fine. It's a Wubi installation with Ubuntu inside Win Vista. When I booted it now I get a Error cannot find GRLDR in all devices Press ctrl+alt+del to restart | 18:23 |
| Odisha1 | & in windows it runs well | 18:23 |
| graingert | Odisha1, second hit on google: http://pointelement.blogspot.com/2010/09/installing-ubuntu-1004-on-acer-e.html | 18:23 |
| graingert | Odisha1, Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=Linux" in /etc/default/grub | 18:24 |
| graingert | Odisha1, you will need to have installed it first though | 18:24 |
| raven | hi | 18:24 |
| graingert | Odisha1, I don't know if you can change boot options in wubi - I assume one can hack it | 18:24 |
| graingert | anybody? | 18:25 |
| escott | Odisha1, check to see if anything exists in /sys/class/backlight. if there are no files there the kernel is not recognizing the backlight, in which case you need to try a newer or older kernel | 18:25 |
| kevin123 | graingert: would you like my specs of the computer? | 18:25 |
| raven | mount gives me no-block-device-error... | 18:26 |
| raven | mount gives me no-block-device-error. what could be wrong? | 18:26 |
| graingert | kevin123, no just the serial number, but if you built it yourself... | 18:26 |
| graingert | kevin123, model number* | 18:26 |
| kevin123 | i didnt build myself i can give you the model num | 18:27 |
| graingert | kevin123, basically anything other than "the live cd didn't work *cryface*" | 18:27 |
| llutz | raven: what do you try to mount? | 18:27 |
| graingert | kevin123, :P | 18:27 |
| Odisha1 | escott, how can i check? i m new to linux | 18:27 |
| kevin123 | its the dell Dimension 5150, lol | 18:27 |
| raven | mount gives me no-block-device-error. what could be wrong? | 18:28 |
| llutz | raven: what do you try to mount? | 18:28 |
| raven | llutz /dev/null | 18:28 |
| llutz | raven: why? | 18:28 |
| graingert | Odisha1, have you got it installed yet? | 18:28 |
| Snicers | How do you control FTP users permissions? | 18:28 |
| escott | Odisha1, if you can open a terminal you can type "ls /sys/class/backlight" thats the easiest way. you could also just use the file browser to go to that folder | 18:29 |
| graingert | escott, the solution is here for Odisha1 http://pointelement.blogspot.com/2010/09/installing-ubuntu-1004-on-acer-e.html | 18:29 |
| kevin123 | graingert: dell dimension 5150, wish there was a way to give you more like an error nuimber but it just hangs | 18:29 |
| llutz | Snicers: read documentation for your ftp-server | 18:29 |
| llutz | of* | 18:29 |
| raven | llutz, perhaps i could use a device whitch contains only "nothing" as mass-storage with neverending capacity ......... | 18:30 |
| raven | llutz no its only a joke ;) | 18:30 |
| graingert | kevin123, try booting the livecd with nosplash and getting rid of quiet | 18:30 |
| graingert | kevin123, know how to do that? | 18:30 |
| kevin123 | nope lol | 18:30 |
| Nisstyre | yes | 18:30 |
| graingert | kevin123, I believe it's F6 and then you press left | 18:30 |
| llutz | raven: do you want help or just to be funny? | 18:31 |
| graingert | kevin123, and you get a line of text with some options | 18:31 |
| kevin123 | graingert: ok ill try. so as soon as it boots off the press f6 | 18:31 |
| graingert | kevin123, and it should say quiet splash -- | 18:31 |
| === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker | ||
| graingert | kevin123, remove quiet and change splash to nosplash | 18:31 |
| graingert | kevin123, removing both also works | 18:31 |
| raven | llutz, bit funny should be ok also here | 18:32 |
| kevin123 | graingert: will try now | 18:32 |
| w30 | raven, would a link to dev/null work for you? like: ln -s | 18:32 |
| scud | i'm using ubuntu 10.04. is there a cooler/better looking gdm then the default? | 18:33 |
| raven | w30 it was a joke | 18:33 |
| escott | scud, you can get gdm themes. google for gnome look and i think that will take you to the main theme website | 18:34 |

| graingert | kevin123, I think if you press left | 18:39 |
| graingert | kevin123, you get to the string you need to edit | 18:40 |
| dr_willis_ | !nomodeset | 18:40 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:40 |

| scud | or gdm theme chooser app | 18:47 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Tekk_``, Haha. I'll just say "alright" to prevent a flame war. | 18:48 |
| escott | scud, that part i don't know. you might try sudo gdmsetup after logging in. otherwise during login look for a config button | 18:48 |
| Blah | hey guys, I have a raid 0 setup with 2 x 1TB drives, I had windows 7 installed and partioned the windows drive to leave free space to install ubuntu, chose the install side by side option, everything went ok until i restarted the pc, now i get a grub rescue screen with "error: no such device: e196......" | 18:48 |
| jimmy51_ | is there a quick way to toggle iptables on/off for debugging purposes? | 18:49 |
| dr_willis_ | GDM in 11.04 isent really themeable.. you can change the wallpaper and a few other tweaks.. but its not as thamable as the old gdm. | 18:49 |
| scud | n/m | 18:49 |
| dr_willis_ | actually i think it lost the feature in the release befor 11.04 :) | 18:49 |
| scud | escott: system > preferences > appearance | 18:49 |
| Tekk_`` | Zzarkc-20: to be more on topic, I'd rather use hurd. it actually has the gnu tools(hurd is based on the mach microkernel, which NeXT hybridized for NeXTSTEP which became OSX ;P) | 18:49 |
| orchata | Hi guys, is there an alternative to windows "hosts" file in ubuntu? I need to redirect a program from going to domain of a site to its different ip adress | 18:49 |
| dr_willis_ | orchata, ubuntu has a hosts file | 18:49 |
| escott | orchata, /etc/hosts | 18:49 |
| orchata | OK. thanks guys | 18:50 |
| orchata | That was very fast :) | 18:50 |
| kevin123 | orchata: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29 | 18:50 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Tekk_``, oooh. I haven't heard of hurd before. I'll have to check it out. A little bit of history I didn't know about. | 18:50 |
| kevin123 | orchata: good to have as a refrence its a fav of mine lol | 18:50 |
| Tekk_`` | Zzarkc-20: it's the GNU kernel. not ready for daily use at all yet, but it'll be awesome when it is :D; | 18:50 |
| kevin123 | graingert: its so strange though because i have off the spash screen and no errors | 18:51 |

| kevin123 | graingert: new cd... new error: cannont mount dev/loop0 | 18:54 |
| Blah | but ubuntu did pick it up as one drive, i didn't have any problem with it being detected as 2 seperate drives, it listed the windows MBR and the windows partition, i simply resized the windows partition and installed ubuntu onto that | 18:55 |
| graingert | kevin123, is that the alternate CD? | 18:55 |
| kevin123 | graingert: yep fresh burned ... its 64bit though | 18:55 |

| graingert | kevin123, I am afraid I am out of my depth | 18:56 |
| celestica_- | Cerrdor, check out 'man ssh-keygen' | 18:56 |
| stephanmg | Cerrdor: that's really well documentated! | 18:56 |
| graingert | Cerrdor, ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 10000 | 18:56 |
| escott | Blah, if you google for "soft-raid" you will see some of the comments. some "soft-raid" is supported through device mapper dmraid, but the preferred linux solution is pure software implementation known as mdadm. likely your grub or initrd is not loading the required dmraid modules and cant find the system. if you can put the boot partition outside of the raid that may help | 18:57 |
| kevin123 | graingert: thanks for your help anyway | 18:57 |

| Blah | escott, by outside the raid you mean on a seperate drive? | 18:58 |
| stephanmg | oCean: ty | 18:59 |
| escott | Blah, or in a partition at the front of the disk that is not raided (you can do that with mdadm, may not be possible with "soft-raid") | 18:59 |
| escott | Blah, generally the boot partition is no included in the raid array, if it is then it is included only as part of a raid 1 mirror and is booted as if it were not in the raid. | 19:00 |
| stephanmg | oCean: mh do i need another PPA for that? | 19:00 |
| oCean | stephanmg: nope, it is in universe repository | 19:00 |
| Blah | escott, so how exactly should i go forward? is there any documentation? I'm utterly new to raid, I've installed ubuntu before but only on single HD systems | 19:00 |

| ghostnik11 | hi i am having problems with samba sharing when it comes to the password prompt | 19:04 |
| escott | Blah, if possible i would recommend disabling the raid in the bios. but that will screw up windows. since the installer was able to identify the raid array thats a good sign that dmraid should support it if you can get the kernel and initrd loaded | 19:04 |
| ghostnik11 | is there a way i can get around the password promt and i put in the password but it doesn't work | 19:04 |
| stephanmg | mh strange, ri show various [ESC strings pretty ugly | 19:04 |
| Blah | escott, so what now? boot into linux off the disc and reinstall grub? or what? | 19:05 |
| escott | Blah, the big question mark here is "can grub bootloader see the raid array to load the boot partition" my guess is that may be unsurmountable, and you may need to get another disk for a boot sector at which point I would dispense with soft-raid on that disk and go direct for it | 19:05 |
| escott | Blah, figure out exactly what kind of bios soft-raid you have, and either ask here or in #grub if it is supported | 19:06 |
| Blah | escott, thanks :D much appreciated, I will investigate and return :P | 19:06 |

| dr_willis_ | TSG, with the new changes to gnome 3 stuff - you have to use a theme thats gtk2 and gtk3 compatiable. (or so i read at the webupd8 blog site) | 19:18 |
| dr_willis_ | TSG, or else you can get into some odd situatuiions. | 19:18 |
| chriswr | gisli, where would i find the power settings on ubuntu 11.04? | 19:18 |
| olskolirc | because I like pico/nano dr_willis_ i can't get the hang of vi/vim or have the patience for it | 19:19 |
| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, why are you word processing in a text editor? | 19:19 |
| TSG | Ah.... Well i'm sure I can pull some edits to get it working. Ex: mess with the default colors of the windows | 19:19 |
| dr_willis_ | learn vi/vim. its worth the effort. :) | 19:19 |
| dr_willis_ | gvim helps you learn vim also. a little :) | 19:19 |
| olskolirc | ok :-( doing it now :-( | 19:19 |
| gisli | chris: power management in the system-preferences | 19:20 |
| rypervenche | vim is very good :) | 19:20 |
| olskolirc | which one should i learn dr_willis_ vi or vim | 19:20 |
| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, i still wonder why you wanted margins in a text editor. | 19:20 |
| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, vim is 'vi' | 19:20 |
| dr_willis_ | !vim | 19:20 |
| ubottu | Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code | 19:20 |
| dr_willis_ | install the vim package also. if your system is using the vim-tiny, it will have color and other features. | 19:20 |
| chriswr | gisli, alright i found it thnx | 19:20 |
| olskolirc | because i want an inch on each side of my nano - i can set the end column with -r 105 but that doesn't give me a left margin | 19:20 |
| dr_willis_ | is vim-tiny the default on 11.04? i never noticed. | 19:21 |
| gisli | np | 19:21 |
| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, a margin for what> just so you can see it better? or for printing? | 19:21 |
| escott | Blah, yeah i don't know enough to say if grub can handle intel rst. i think stripping was probably a bad choice here. if the personality were raid 1 mirrored then grub could load the boot partition on sda and start the initrd at which point the kernel modules for dmraid could take over and support the fs as mirrored once the partitions are mounted rw. but with stripping the bootloader may not even be able to find the initrd and kernel | 19:21 |
| olskolirc | so i can see it better dr_willis_ | 19:21 |
| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, so you are doing word processing in nano? what are you writeing? | 19:21 |
| olskolirc | im learning bash scripting in nano and its highlighted too :-) | 19:22 |

| dr_willis_ | olskolirc, check out Geany - if you want a really good editor to do scripting work in. its also avail for windows. | 19:22 |
| rypervenche | olskolirc: You should do "cp /etc/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc" then open it up and uncomment most of the lines so you'll have options that you want. | 19:22 |

| escott | Blah, this link has various information but i cant really guide you in getting the existing system working. my recomendation would be either (a) get a disk exclusively for ubuntu, and if you want to strip some of your data you can selectively do so by mounting partitions on the stripped disks or (b) do away with the soft-raid bios raid config, reinstall windows and figure out a different raid solution for it, and use mdadm to raid only t | 19:25 |
| escott | he partitions you need raided on linux. but do ask the channel maybe someone knows more about intel soft-raid | 19:25 |

| olskolirc | I tried vi and HOW ANNOYING! geeze im trying to learn bash not learn how to manipulate a program before i can program - vi is STUPID | 19:42 |
| tuxlon | escott: but if it's the temperature normally you wouldn't be able to restart the laptop imediately? | 19:42 |
| dgags | olskolirc: gedit | 19:42 |
| escott | tuxlon, another thing you can do is use mplayer. it will allow you to specify the drawing path for video with the -vo option. so try mplayer -vo help to list output methods and mplayer -vo x11 filename to draw with straight x11 | 19:42 |
| olskolirc | I just want to write and go within my pretty little format in nano | 19:42 |
| usr13 | Soothsayer: Something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/635251/ | 19:42 |
| maco | olskolirc: its just a text editor. use nano if you like. it's ubuntu's default terminal editor | 19:42 |
| escott | tuxlon, perhaps. if the thermal violation is on only a small segment of the cpu it could cool off enough to be able to boot within a few seconds | 19:43 |

| DannyButterman | Hi there. I can't connect to a vpn from an ubuntu client when using wireless, but it works when using ethernet. Does someone have any idea ? | 19:46 |
| Pici | knightrage: Lets try to stay on-topic here. | 19:46 |
| Slava1 | hello | 19:46 |
| mipo | I want to change language of all parts in ubuntu | 19:47 |
| knightrage | wrong window | 19:47 |
| mipo | please help me | 19:47 |
| zeroedout | Dannybutterman, it might be your iptables settings.... | 19:47 |
| usr13 | DannyButterman: Could be that the wireless and wired networks use two different subnets | 19:47 |
| zeroedout | You can try to use something like firestarted to config it easy... or just disable it completely | 19:47 |
| w30 | olskolirc, you should be able to do some simple editing in vi because it is always "just there" on unix,bsd,solaris, recovery disks, etc. How ever it comes with a lot of baggage like being able to do it all with the keyboard and speed if and only if you have all 10,000 commands memorized. | 19:48 |
| Slava1 | please tell me, where I may find non technical chat? only speaking, chat, etc | 19:48 |
| wildgoose | mipo, To what language? | 19:48 |
| zeroedout | usr13: if he's vpn'ing in somewhere, does the ip he connects from matter? | 19:48 |
| mipo | Persian | 19:48 |
| thegladiator | any goood user friendly ipod managing software like itunes | 19:48 |
| DannyButterman | zeroedot, usr13: It could be, but there are error in the log about eth9k which is the driver for the wireless interface | 19:48 |
| mipo | wildgoose , Persian | 19:48 |
| Pici | zeroedout: firestarter is deprecated, gufw is what we are recommending now. | 19:48 |
| wildgoose | !persian > mipo | 19:48 |
| mipo | wildgoose , Persian(Farsi) | 19:49 |
| mipo | yes | 19:49 |
| zeroedout | pici: i'll have to check that out, thanks! I prefer shorewall on my server, but something gui is always sweet | 19:49 |
| usr13 | DannyButterman: It also could be the way you have the vpn tunnel setup. As zeroedout points out, the IP address difference could be very well the issue, (even if both wired and wireless are on same subnet). | 19:49 |
| Pici | zeroedout: ufw is the cli equivalent, they both interface with iptables though. | 19:49 |
| olskolirc | wow w30 | 19:49 |
| Slava1 | how show all channels on this irc-server? | 19:50 |

| mneptok | aiwe: you'll want to use "sudo ./googleearth.bin" so the installer has rights to write stuff | 19:53 |
| guntbert | aiwe: no need to install it this way, it is in the repos | 19:53 |
| usr13 | aiwe: Yes, as Pici says, you should use Ubuntu's package manager when ever possible. | 19:53 |

| civixier | Hi! One of the first things I do when I install ubuntu is to get rid of all of the gnome-panels. Usually I fire up gconf-editor, goes to desktop > gnome > session > required_components and delete the panel key. However, this doesn't seem to work in 11.04 because it isn't there. How do I get rid of the last gnome-panel now? (Note that I still want to be able to start it by simply enter gnome-panel in a terminal). | 19:55 |
| DannyButterman | usr13: the only thing I did is to try a vpn connection in ethernet, which worked flawlessly. And now, some days after that, I boot up this netbook, try the vpn connection in wifi, and bam, it works.... | 19:55 |
| poshisfat | well i cant find the files i want in there.im trying to install pysoulseek its a p2p client that allows you to share with the windows program called soulseek | 19:55 |

| chris_99 | yeah, what i don't want is the currently selected application | 20:07 |

| chris_99 | it never used to do that | 20:07 |
| Polah | mranima: Yes, but it's unsupported and may not work very well. | 20:08 |

| mranima | polah: is it the testing one? right. | 20:08 |

| danharibo | like parts of X11 and gtk | 20:10 |
| usr13 | chris_99: But does it really matter? (Does it matter which workspace you use for any particular GUI application?) | 20:10 |
| chris_99 | yes, its very annoying | 20:11 |
| aiwe | #ubuntu-lt | 20:11 |
| usr13 | chris_99: Then just use one workspace | 20:11 |
| jpds | chris_99: Try asking in #ayatana, that's where the developers are. | 20:11 |

| Kog|Work | Pici: fair enough, my dumb mistake | 20:31 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: and neither do i which is probably part of the problem... | 20:31 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: if i try /dev/md1 - /raid1, it doesnt detect it and the raid is invisible...it automatically creates /dev/md127!? | 20:31 |
| Battlepope | I am trying to use some of the texlive-fonts-extra fonts in latex, but i am getting a file not find error: '! LaTeX Error: File `emerald.sty' not found.' | 20:32 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: so all of the stuff I could find via google suggested modifying /etc/default/grub and changing what it passes as the options | 20:32 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: possible because your raid config is not sane, so it's creating a meta device (127) out of what it thinks is correct, look at the blkid's does it match up to whats in the mdadm.conf | 20:32 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: then running update-grub and rebooting ... (which I obviously am doing over SSH) | 20:32 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: ok this time i didnt mount /dev/md127 and rebooted have an error lemme read it to you | 20:32 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: but seriously weird, how the hell can it not give you a TTY on ctl+alt+f1... | 20:32 |

| pythonirc101 | ikonia: the disk drive for /dev/ssd is not ready yet or not present. Continue to wait or press S to skip | 20:33 |
| pythonirc101 | this is fsck | 20:33 |
| Battlepope | any ideas regarding the mystery of the missing font gentlemen? | 20:33 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: it may be a stupid question but what is a TTY? | 20:33 |
| tom719co | hello | 20:34 |
| tom719co | i am trying to update with apt-get on a ubuntu 9.04 box | 20:34 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: you're supposed to be running 6 virtual teleterms you can hit from f1->f6 | 20:34 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: that device is missing - but not important at this moment. Does the block id of the 127 meta device , match the block id of the device in the mdadm.conf | 20:34 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: f7 will shunt you back to X | 20:34 |
| tom719co | and i had to change the links to "old-releases" because "archives" woudln't work | 20:35 |
| tom719co | but still having a lot of trouble with it | 20:35 |
| slek | Kog|Work, lucky it was the wrong password | 20:35 |
| tom719co | does anyone have a working sources.list file or know where I can find one for ubuntu 9.04? | 20:35 |
| ikonia | tom719co: 9.04 is dead - so no config is working | 20:35 |
| ikonia | tom719co: take up to 10.04 | 20:36 |
| tom719co | k not sure if i can do that atm.. no way to work around it? | 20:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Pici: i have the full path, which is what was written down before | 20:36 |
| ikonia | tom719co: why can't you do that ? | 20:36 |
| tom719co | i'm just trying to install webmin but dependancies are failing | 20:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i added the -f | 20:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but i thought that was only for 'more information' | 20:36 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: okay. it may be that i have a bad install or something?? i can reinstall off another source and see if it fixes | 20:36 |
| ikonia | tom719co: webmin is not in the ubuntu repos or supported, so you've messed up your sources.list and possibly your system with 3rd party software | 20:36 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: honestly, I don't know... I was considering upgrading the box to 10.04 | 20:37 |
| Pici | [THC]AcidRain: Thats not what the manpage says. | 20:37 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: erm, 11 | 20:37 |
| [THC]AcidRain | grrr let me check it out again | 20:37 |
| tom719co | i know.. i added their respositories.. but there are dependancy problems | 20:37 |
| tom719co | also tried the dpkg method | 20:37 |
| ikonia | tom719co: yes, because it's "not supported" | 20:37 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: I'm not so sure what the root cause is yet - and I've never encountered this on any of the Ubuntu installs I've had | 20:37 |
| Kog|Work | apparently it's quite common though | 20:37 |
| tom719co | ok thanks | 20:38 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: i have tried that but i got the longest list of errors i have ever seen. it went on for over 10 minutes before stopping | 20:38 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: installing 11 i mean | 20:38 |
| Kog|Work | haha, awesome | 20:38 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: I'm sure someone in here actually knows the answer... like I said it seems to be a fairly common occurance | 20:38 |
| dravekx | 11.04 is weird | 20:39 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: I know my hardware is supported because it was displaying gnome yesterday | 20:39 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: (it's a work computer... my second day using it) - guessing some sort of update was run | 20:39 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/423952/ -- is that the problem? | 20:39 |
| pythonirc101 | are these the uuid's from /dev/disk/by-uuid i should put in mdaadm.conf? | 20:39 |
| === Josh0vki is now known as JoshOvki | ||

| TannerH | Kog|Work: yes i have been given several different answers none of them seem to work. im using a dell 1537 and one of my freinds has put it on his using the same exact machine but i dont know what it is | 20:40 |
| JoshOvki | yay finally got my name back | 20:40 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: look at the output - the device you created as md1 no longer exists, the blockid is missing, which suggests something has changed (disk size/partition/missing disk/etc) | 20:40 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Pici: * * * * * php -f -q /var/www/AcidShower/420/420ToCell.php this is currently what i have. it appears its still not running | 20:40 |
| [THC]AcidRain | let me check the logs | 20:40 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: is he fairly adept? | 20:40 |
| Kog|Work | [THC]AcidRain: syslog is your friend | 20:40 |
| Pici | [THC]AcidRain: What if you run that command manually? Does it work? | 20:41 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: when i boot, fsck tells me that /dev/sdd is missing, but fdisk -l tells me that /dev/sdd is there | 20:41 |
| pythonirc101 | i'm confused what is missing | 20:41 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: yes but he is unfortunately not in the same country as me anymore. | 20:41 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: and that's what skype is for | 20:41 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: stop doing fsck - that's not going to magically change anything | 20:41 |
| brahmana | Hi all | 20:41 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: i don't -- ubuntu does it automatically when i reboot | 20:41 |
| brahmana | Is there a way to find out if a particular group already exists? | 20:41 |
| [THC]AcidRain | how exactlly do i run this command manually? | 20:41 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: how can i figure out what is going wrong? | 20:42 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: listen to what I'm saying, you've built an array called md1 - you've put that devices id into mdadm.conf - that device has changed, you need to find out what has changed or re-create the array | 20:42 |
| Pici | [THC]AcidRain: Open a terminal and type it there. | 20:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | and im looking at the logs.... no cron | 20:42 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: the problem you have is you've made raid0 so the slightest change will corrupt the array's id | 20:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | when i ran that manually i get: bash: Android_Development: command not found | 20:42 |
| TannerH | Kog|Work: yes it is. he is doing some research on why my machine is so special but he said it will probably take a while | 20:42 |
| brahmana | Basically a command similar to *id* - which can tell me if a user group exists. | 20:42 |
| Pici | [THC]AcidRain: so... what did you expect it to do? | 20:42 |
| ikonia | brahmana: id will do that | 20:42 |

| Kog|Work | TannerH: but the symptoms I see seem to be that it hits grub, displays the Ubuntu splash screen and then bam... blank screen | 20:44 |
| Pici | [THC]AcidRain: I don't know what android has to do with that, but I don't know what that file is, or why you'd want to run it in your crontab. | 20:45 |
| Kog|Work | TannerH: oh, nevermind then... thought you were getting a blank screen heh | 20:45 |

| ikonia | pythonirc101: I have no idea why you are running update-initramfs -u | 21:03 |

| shockrates | ikonia: i am gonna get kmess 2.6.0.1 source and compile it myself. just to inform you though kmess 2.6.0.0 that you have in ubuntu 11.04, doesnt work AT ALL because it cant connect to the ms server, which is fixed in the next version.

| pythonirc101 | ikonia: what do you do when there is a mismatch between mdadm.conf and /dev/disk/by-uuid? | 21:03 |
| ikonia | shockrates: no need to | 21:03 |
| shockrates | ikonia: why not? | 21:03 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: if you do "sudo mdadm --examine --scan" you should get a real time config that you can use to re-create your mdadm.conf | 21:04 |

| pythonirc101 | ikonia: both of them? | 21:05 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: you can either try to debug it, or rebuild your array/mdadm.conf | 21:05 |
| shockrates | ikonia: to be honest i dont care, i use mostly arch. i just wanted to inform ubuntu mainteners, i am not reporting any bug | 21:05 |

| cmnajs | Slart: yes it is.. the situation is little complex, i got two drives | 21:07 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: how do i rebuild the raid? --assemble? or --create? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: assemble will re-assemble an existing array, -create will create a new array | 21:07 |
| Kog|Work | guntbert: yeah, that works as expected: get a TTY | 21:07 |
| Slart | cmnajs: and windows is still installed to the .. first partition on the first drive, right? | 21:07 |

| Kog|Work | guntbert: or, that killing GDM has absolutely 0 effect heh | 21:08 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: if it was me - I'd re-create it and get a sane config, your call though | 21:08 |

| pythonirc101 | ikonia: can you tell me the commands i need to execute? help me with one of the raids (raid 0), and i'll do the other one myself? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: I can't tell you the command as the config is specific to your system | 21:09 |
| nerdshell | how to boot directly to a terminal, but only for on boot, not every time ? | 21:09 |
| pythonirc101 | its on /dev/sd[abcd] -- 40GB each -- /dev/md1 | 21:09 |
| sindile | how do i enable wired network in 11.04 | 21:09 |
| Slart | cmnajs: ahh.. that might be why grub is having problems.. try restarting the machine and when you're at the grub menu you edit the windows boot line (press 'e', I think) and make it boot to sdb1 instead.. perhaps that'll work | 21:09 |
| ikonia | pythonirc101: back shortly | 21:09 |
| pythonirc101 | ikonia: this is what i used to create it the first time -- mdadm --verbose --create /dev/md1 --level raid0 --raid-devices 4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd | 21:09 |

| cmnajs | Slart: going to try it again... will get back | 21:11 |
| adnc | Kog|Work, not woodworking app. an app to construct! | 21:11 |

| guntbert | Kog|Work: did you se http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html ? | 21:14 |
| Kog|Work | guntbert: did a fair amount of googling about it, and none of the suggestions seem to do anything beneficial... and I of course can't grab the old .list out of /boot/grub | 21:14 |
| Kog|Work | guntbert: yeah, tried that with /etc/default/grub | 21:14 |
| guntbert | Kog|Work: then I'm sorry to say I have no idea :-( | 21:15 |
| Kog|Work | guntbert: I think that the guy who had the box before me probably did something to get it running... I have to find him, and ask him | 21:15 |
| guntbert | Kog|Work: might be a sensible idea ... Good luck :-) | 21:16 |

| codex84 | how u add the theme | 22:14 |

| Truecolor | Should be done now, right? | 22:15 |
| em | that sounds pretty good | 22:15 |
| em | it was ActionParsnip who suggested sudo mv | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Truecolor: the update grub applys the change | 22:15 |

| yaaar | oh | 22:47 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, I mean, look at that "U", it looks like a BUG | 22:48 |
| yaaar | so that's at /media/Ȕ ?? | 22:48 |

| yaaar | Osmodivs: how many directories do you have within /media ? | 22:48 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, EOS_DIGITAL, well yes, I have a CF card for a SLR camera | 22:49 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: and do they correspond with anything in the output of 'mount' and or 'cat /proc/mounts' | 22:49 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, Just one | 22:49 |
| yaaar | ok | 22:49 |

| Guest16907 | i have a thinkpad thats been updated to the latest 11.04 when turned on all I get is a purple screen with the ubuntu progress dots. Any suggestions? | 22:49 |
| yaaar | then you should be able to type 'rmdir <tab>' and it should complete it for you | 22:49 |

| Loneclock | how do i update grub and remove old versions or linux? | 22:50 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: otherwise my recommendation would be trying cut/paste and/or the AltGr key if you have one | 22:50 |

| Osmodivs | yaaar, I tried to umount them, but i got a "not mounted" messsage, I have not tried any of those optios you are telling me right now | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Loneclock: if you run: uname -a you can see the CURRENT kernel | 22:50 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: but the first thing i'd try is the 'rmdir /media/<tab>' | 22:50 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, The thing is, they are root only, I cant just send them to the trash bin | 22:50 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | problem is the installer does not give you any options that are of any use in the something else option | 22:50 |
| gisli | digital: huh sorry...I've never dualbooted so someone else has tro help you | 22:51 |
| Psydoll | My n00b question for the day, what is the difference between a dependency and a repository, i understand that a repos is where programs are stored | 22:51 |
| gisli | are you using the Wubi installer? | 22:51 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | hmm i have always dual booted | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Loneclock: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 you will see the INSTALLED kernels. you can remove installed kernels but NOT the running kernel. It will clean up grub for you | 22:51 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: ok, try 'sudo rmdir /media/<tab>' and see if it completes that directory name. otherwise you could use 'sudo rmdir /media/*' | 22:51 |
| d1g1t4l_nrg | any one had any experience with dual boot on HPg62 64bit with NIS 2010 installed ? | 22:51 |

| aleprovencio | hello everyone, is there a command to access directly the 'open with other application' dialog ? | 22:52 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, No, that's cool, I deleted them, i'm root. But i thought that was gonna be the solution so Ubuntu could see my Sony-nwz USB mp3 player, but still, it does not detected | 22:53 |
| Loneclock | how do i check the grub menu without rebooting? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | d1g1t4l_nrg: could use the minimal install if your NIC works out of the box | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | d1g1t4l_nrg: your NIS 2010 is of no interest to us :) | 22:53 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, I belive it was because I unplugged the player when it did not was fully ready, | 22:53 |
| szal | Osmodivs: does that thing work as USB mass storage anyway? | 22:53 |
| SpAc | Is there a way I can find the difference between the install modes? Perhaps at a package level? | 22:54 |

| szal | SpAc: "install modes"? | 22:54 |
| Loneclock | Can I pm someone about grub? | 22:54 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: have you looked at dmesg and/or /var/log/messages for what happens when you plug it in? one of my favorite tricks for unknown usb devices is to start with it not plugged into the computer, run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and then plug it in and watch the messages roll by | 22:54 |
| Guest16907 | szal the error is: process 373 failed dur to unknown user id | 22:54 |

| szal | SpAc: no idea what you're talking about, I don't know the live CDs (I installed Natty w/ the alternate CD) | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Loneclock: removing old kernels using software-centre or apt-get will clean it up good | 22:58 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: oh, i see. i thought it had never worked. but it used to work and has stopped after a problem removing the device? in that case i'd turn the device off, reboot the machine, turn the device back on and plug it back in. simplistic, i know, and no you probably don't have to reboot (you really almost never should have to in linux) but still...looks like a state issue, and that would... | 22:58 |
| yaaar | ...reset just about anything | 22:58 |
| szal | Loneclock: then search for 'linux' & see what you have installed there, you can remove every kernel version on its own | 22:58 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: oh, are you on 11.04? i think they got rid of /var/log/messages. also WHY!!!!??? | 22:58 |
| Loneclock | ActionParsnip, is it sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:58 |
| kion | anybody using ubuntu with an Alienware M15x , nvidia GTX260M???? | 22:59 |

| Loneclock | szal, I have done that...I think...is there a way I can check grub menu without rebooting to be sure? | 22:59 |
| Daekdroom | Or ask your question, if that's the matter. | 22:59 |
| [THC]AcidRain | what should the bash path be? | 22:59 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, Is there another folder where they moved the log files? | 22:59 |

| kion | I am experiencing random x server crashes and it will take me back to the login screen | 22:59 |
| szal | Loneclock: you can view /boot/grub/grub.cfg in a text editor, or better, in a pager on the terminal (e.g. less) | 23:00 |
| kion | happens most when using flash | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Loneclock: its a bit more than that | 23:00 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: honestly i don't know. i am still on 10.04 where it counts (this work machine i'm typing on now, all my servers) and just threw 11.04 on a laptop to see what it was like (turns out i hate unity), and happened to notice that was missing. never found out why or where the equivalent was | 23:00 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, The thing is, this problem has been like this for quiete a while, I was thinking that maybe letting the USB player to drain its energy could reset it (I reset it manually too), but, no | 23:00 |
| yaaar | certainly seems crazy to get rid of the go-to log file that everybody has used forever | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | kion: can you give a pastebin of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | gnash ; dpkg -l | grep swf | 23:01 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, Can an USB mp3Player be damaged by unpluging it before time? | 23:01 |
| mtaylor | zomg. why has making a grub menu.lst file gotten so weird? | 23:01 |
| mtaylor | what the heck do I run to re-generate menu.lst if I edit /etc/default/grub? | 23:02 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: i think it's very unlikely that it was actually damaged. but it could get awfully confused, which is why i suggested turning it off/on | 23:02 |
| itaylor57 | Osmodivs, i have /var/log/messages and am on Natty | 23:02 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: note that "very unlikely" != "impossible" | 23:02 |
| mtaylor | and/or more to the point - if I want to add a kernel command line opt - is there a better way than adding it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub ? | 23:02 |
| mtaylor | (this is on natty, btw) | 23:02 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, I can't even turn it off, I think it really got damaged | 23:03 |
| yaaar | hmmm | 23:03 |
| Osmodivs | perhaps a virus? | 23:03 |
| Osmodivs | It is a SONY | 23:03 |

| MK`` | trism: how can I check if it is enabled and functioning properly tight now? | 23:04 |
| trism | mtaylor: are you checking the right file? if you installed any ubuntu since 9.10, it will be grub2 which uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg (if it is an upgrade from older versions it may still use menu.lst) | 23:05 |
| mtaylor | in fact - update-grub doesn't seem to be updating /boot/grub/menu.lst at all | 23:05 |
| mtaylor | AH | 23:05 |
| mtaylor | well, hrm | 23:05 |
| trism | MK``: I do not know, I just know it is built directly into the kernel (it isn't a module) | 23:05 |
| yaaar | Osmodivs: hard telling man. i'd say damage is more likely than a virus...not too many viruses target mp3-players plugged into linux boxes. maybe the fs got corrupted. but i'd say most likely it just got hung somehow and doesn't respond to the off button. maybe take the batteries out or something | 23:05 |
| trism | !grub2 | mtaylor for more info | 23:05 |
| ubottu | mtaylor for more info: 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) | 23:05 |
| mtaylor | trism: well - it's in neither menu.lst OR grub.cfg | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mtaylor: grub2 doesn't use menu.lst | 23:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mtaylor: update-grub generates /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 23:06 |
| Osmodivs | yaaar, hm.... there is no way to open this thing, It recharges via USB,. Oh well, it died, I'll just move on. | 23:06 |
| MK`` | trism: I ask because I was having those power problems since upgrading to Natty, so I added a command line option to force it to enable, but I ended up getting conflicting messages from dmesg and aspm is not listed in lspci | 23:06 |

| astory_ | I'm noticing that gnome session restoration works for some applications but not others. Notably, it works for Firefox, but not for Chrom{e,ium}. Is there somewhere I can go for more info? | 23:07 |
| mtaylor | trism: it's natty - lemme try GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 23:08 |
| astory_ | this is in Lucid, at least | 23:08 |

| ActionParsnip | kion: i'd suggest: firefox & | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kion: that will give the terminal back and alow you to run other apps :) | 23:34 |

| kion | yes | 23:43 |
| cmaxwell | wheres the best site to get a shell from? | 23:44 |

| ActionParsnip | cmaxwell: how do you mean "a shell" | 23:44 |
| kion | ActionParsnip I am pretty shure that I have X forwarding enabled... | 23:44 |
| cmaxwell | vhost | 23:44 |
| cmaxwell | bnc | 23:44 |

| ActionParsnip | !vmware | BigDaddyDuergar | 23:46 |
| ubottu | BigDaddyDuergar: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 23:46 |

| Anorion|Aurora | anyone have any idea about my grub issue? | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | kion: you will need to restart the service to enable the option | 23:47 |
| Taha | Is this the same Tekk_ from rscheating? | 23:47 |
| rhin0 | reseph|away_: on the server if the package openssh-server is installed then also enable it through your firewall ("sudo ufw allow ssh") | 23:47 |
| Tekk_ | Anorion|Aurora: remember, next-lts-number = current-lts-number + 2.0 ;) | 23:48 |

| kion | ActionParsnip: interesting, i thought that if you called ssh with the -X switch, and had configured no forwarding, you would get some sort of warning. but no | 23:50 |
| Tekk_ | BigDaddyDuergar: you do realize that the main platform for sql is unix, right? | 23:50 |

| ActionParsnip | kion: no worries duder | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | BigDaddyDuergar: why not run mysql and bluefish instead of SQL and Dreamweaver ;) | 23:52 |
| pooltable | help installed a .rpm file the easy why? | 23:52 |
| Tekk_ | !alien | pooltable | 23:52 |
| ubottu | pooltable: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | pooltable: what is the RPM for? | 23:52 |
| pooltable | what about yum? | 23:52 |
| claw | i moved a module to /lib/modules/... | 23:52 |

| ActionParsnip | Tekk_: i see, I always put mine in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins | 23:55 |
