| seangrove | Hey all, I'm trying to launch an ubuntu image on EC2 for the first time, and having a difficult time of it - anyone have a link to a good step-by-step guide of launching one of the official Ubuntu EC2 images in the northeast/virginia region? | 00:00 |
| pooltable | qin ok | 00:00 |
| kwtm2 | Wups, guess I typed this before I got connected to the channel. My question was: | 00:00 |
| kwtm2 | What is a nice simple web server I can set up on my Ubuntu desktop so that other computers (like my wife's iPad) can access files on the desktop via the LAN? I remember something called LightHTTP or something, that was supposed to be easier to set up than a full Apache server. I don't plan to expose it to the world-wide Internet outside our home LAN. | 00:00 |
| babu | yea ,look i mean i dont want to burn cd or download i just want to update it by auto download,u knw i have nt enough experince to use linux so that u | 00:00 |
| gogeta | babu: dl and burn new cd install that all will be well | 00:00 |
| KM0201 | gogeta: or if his machine will boot usb, and you have a usb. | 00:00 |
| babu | i have 3 times of experince of linux use,lol\ | 00:01 |
| gogeta | babu: its way to old to upgrade unfortanly | 00:01 |
| babu | ok,nevermind | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | babu: updating that version of Linux, will literally take forever, if it even is successful, because so many of those servers are no longer maintained | 00:01 |
| babu | i mean no problem | 00:01 |

| Pythux | bazhang: but if i remove ark it removes kubuntu0desktop | 00:46 |
| bazhang | Pythux, why do you wish to do that, what is the issue with ark | 00:46 |
| rww | !kubuntu-desktop | Pythux | 00:46 |
| ubottu | Pythux: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 00:46 |
| usr13 | trinimoses: is it working? | 00:46 |

| bazhang | !clone | Boom_Farmer you mean this? | 00:49 |
| ubottu | Boom_Farmer you mean this?: 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 | 00:49 |

| tajasel | Hi, I asked for help here yesterday re. creating a bootable USB drive. I've finally successfully managed it (so Ubuntu tells me, when it finished the process using the boot disk creator) but when putting the flash drive in my machine it tells me to "insert bootable flash drive or restart" - this has been tried in each of the three USB ports, with three different USB sticks. | 01:11 |
| tajasel | this is weird because Ubuntu was originally installed via a USB stick on that machine | 01:11 |
| captyler | now i am running photorec on the disk, please wait me 20 minutes. But the filesistem in my old disk is ext3 | 01:11 |
| tajasel | it's a netbook so afaik my only option is a USB stick, as I don't have an external CD drive to plug in | 01:12 |
| tajasel | can anyone offer advice? :/ | 01:12 |
| bazhang | tajasel, remove it from the sources.list then | 01:12 |

| Benkinooby | tajasel, what software did you use to create the pendirve? | 01:14 |
| robin0800 | captyler: use their name see | 01:14 |
| qin | captyler: In sane terms, if you can see your file with testdisk, just overwrite partition table, if not, either photorec, scalpel or foremost (best, but most cubersome), you would want to dd your drive to image and use this one to look for file. | 01:15 |
| bazhang | tajasel, if it never booted properly at all, then try again, and possibly use another tool : unetbootin | 01:15 |
| tajasel | I currently have a netbook running 11.04. Something is wrong with the update manager, I've given up trying to fix it and have resolved to just reinstall. | 01:15 |
| bazhang | tajasel, thats not a problem with update manager | 01:15 |
| qin | captyler: With your nick in front | 01:15 |
| bazhang | tajasel, paste.ubuntu.com with your sources.list | 01:16 |
| tajasel | bazhang: no, look, I've decided I'm happy to just do a fresh install, that's REALLY all I want to do now. | 01:16 |
| bazhang | tajasel, its completely unnecessary, but do what you wish | 01:17 |
| claviusmond | whats the default rhythmbox folder? usr/share? | 01:17 |
| tajasel | Only the bootable USB I've just made following the instructions on ubuntu.com (successfully, according to Startup Disk Creator, the software recommended in said instructions) and the machine won't boot from it, in any of the 3 USB ports on the machine, and it won't boot from two other drives either | 01:17 |
| bazhang | tajasel, whats that got to do with update manager | 01:17 |
| tajasel | bazhang: I've spent three weeks agonising over how to fix the update manager. One of my friends (who works for Canonical) hasn't been able to figure it out either, and neither have any of their coworkers. | 01:17 |
| bazhang | tajasel, whats the connection with usb flash key that wont boot and update manager | 01:18 |
| phil_ | KM0201: lspci results are here http://pastebin.com/d3WCpzrg | 01:18 |
| tajasel | I think I know better than you do, being the one sitting in front of my netbook, what is "necessary" and I have decided a fres install is easier at this point | 01:18 |
| captyler | qin yo say that when i re-write my partition table, the files that was cut will be appear magically?? | 01:18 |
| tajasel | the update manager being borked is the reason for reinstalling, only I can't reinstall because the flash drive won't boot *sigh* | 01:18 |
| KM0201 | phil_: what version of ubuntu are you using/ | 01:19 |
| soreau | bazhang: FWIW, I don't think we helped <need> though I did help a couple people with similar issues | 01:19 |

| KM0201 | phil_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1539989 | 01:21 |
| bazhang | tajasel, I'd be more than happy to help you fix it, but if you are set on a reinstall, that is certainly your choice. | 01:21 |
| qin | captyler: .si .sn .sg | 01:21 |
| tajasel | As I say, it has had several people, including Canonical employees, try to figure it out now. And nobody can be bothered anymore. I wish to reinstall. That is what I asked when I came in here. If I had meant "I want to do x but you are welcome to try and convince me to do y" then I would have said so. I didn't. | 01:21 |
| captyler | qin entirelly, I only perform a moving task to reorder my files | 01:21 |
| phil_ | KM0201: i'll check it out and let you know what i find. thanks | 01:22 |
| captyler | qin .si4 .sn4 .sg4 thanks | 01:22 |
| qin | captyler: If you see file then it should be in orginal size, since rm is done after cp (I think in nautilus too). | 01:23 |
| bazhang | tajasel, I was under the impression you wished assistance in solving this. thus the reason joining here and asking for advice | 01:24 |
| tajasel | (fwiw I had all this hassle earlier and it's nothing against you but no matter how often I ask for help in this channel someone will return with "but you should do something else instead", it wears thin after a while.) | 01:24 |
| bazhang | tajasel, not sure why you are here then, if not for tech support | 01:24 |
| captyler | qin so what the next? overwrite partition table? | 01:25 |
| captyler | qin there are other more safe method? | 01:25 |
| captyler | qin qin before write my partition table... (I don t know why but when i have to do risky tasks, the things ging wrong jeje), can i do a bak up of a partition? | 01:25 |
| tajasel | oh for goodness sake, I keep explaining what I am struggling with and have asked for helpwith getting a fresh install onto the machine. how is that not asking for tech support? | 01:26 |
| qin | captyler: Make image first (not copy, dd 1:1 image) | 01:26 |
| phil_ | KM0201: when i go to sound preferences and then the sound tab, there is no device to be configured. so it seems as though the system recogized that it is connected, but won't do anything with it? | 01:26 |
| tajasel | things it is not: "convince me to do something different". thing it is: "here is my problem, can anyone help me?" | 01:26 |
| captyler | qin how? | 01:26 |
| bazhang | tajasel, I said earlier to give unetbootin a try, very early on | 01:26 |
| captyler | qin my partition has 60 Gb | 01:26 |
| bazhang | which is a way to reinstall via usb stick tajasel | 01:27 |
| qin | captyler: I guess you need extra 60 Gb, http://www.linuxweblog.com/dd-image, or try to use foremost (or scalpel) first. | 01:28 |
| KM0201 | phil_: i have no idea.. try asking on the forums.. if nobody else hwere can help you | 01:28 |
| tajasel | right, but you also said "if it never booted properly at all". as the machine is currently booting, but won't update package lists (which means I can't install new software = infuriating) I disregarded the message. now you know the machine *does* currently boot, is netbootin still somethingworth trying? | 01:28 |
| phil_ | KM0201: thanks for the try. will do on the forums. cheers | 01:28 |
| tajasel | I have never heard of it, so I don't really know what I'm doing with that. | 01:28 |
| captyler | qin I have space in my new HD | 01:29 |
| bazhang | tajasel, please preface your comments with the nick of the person you are addressing or they may well miss it. | 01:29 |
| qin | captyler: Well, if you make image, you can reuseit many times, till success. | 01:30 |
| captyler | qin then I will try to write the Image doesn't it? | 01:30 |
| tajasel | bazhang: righto, other channels I use aren't typically so high volume so not used to doing that for every message. will trying to remember. | 01:30 |
| === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D | ||
| bazhang | tajasel, please include full details, if no one answers, then possibly no one knows. in that case repeat a few minutes later. good luck with your issue. | 01:32 |
| qin | tajasel: Did you posted somewhere output of: sudo apt-get update && lsb_release -a && cat /etc/apt/sources.list && ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ??? | 01:32 |
| OerHeks | tajasel, you can't update and can't install, then you need to find a 2nd computer to make the usb | 01:32 |
| captyler | qin with the image, do i use testdisk? or with the phisical disk? is the same? | 01:33 |
| qin | tajasel: and: df -h && sudo fdisk -L && cat /var/log/<ALL IMPORTANT STUFF> | 01:33 |
| === Barzogh_ is now known as Barzogh | ||
| tajasel | qin: not yet, no - to me that seems irrelevant though as it strikes me as trying to fix the problem that six people have tried and failed to fix. | 01:34 |
| qin | captyler: No, you still using it on real drive, just moving orginal image back to drive in case of failure. | 01:34 |
| tajasel | qin: when I have said "I *really* just want to fresh install" | 01:35 |
| tajasel | qin: please feel free to correct me if I interpreted why you want me to do that incorrectly though | 01:35 |
| captyler | qin OK. I will only back up one of the 9 partitions (the partition I need) | 01:35 |
| kdg | Is there any Linux based software for tracking sports activities? | 01:35 |
| qin | tajasel: You said you cannot update and install | 01:35 |
| tajasel | OerHeks: the computer that won't update/install seems to be making bootable drives just fine. the only other one I have is a Mac, and everyone I speak to warns me against using a Mac to make Ubuntu bootable drives | 01:36 |
| captyler | qin i suppose i can put the dd-image of a partition on the disk | 01:36 |
| qin | kdg: Live live scores? | 01:36 |
| qin | captyler: Yes | 01:36 |
| qin | *like | 01:37 |
| tajasel | qin: that's correct, I said this to explain why I wanted to do a fresh install. this is not the problem I am having, the problem I am having is that the bootable drive I made won't boot my machine. As I have explained. Several times. | 01:37 |
| OerHeks | i haven't heard 'everybody' about that, tajasel | 01:38 |
| captyler | qin thanks, that way I will working the disk partition by partition. I will be back if i need. Very pleased Qin :) | 01:38 |
| tajasel | OerHeks: you haven't been here/paying attention the previous times I've been here with this problem then. | 01:38 |
| th0r | tajasel: why don't you just burn a live cd and install from it? | 01:38 |
| tajasel | th0r: netbook, no CD drive. | 01:38 |
| Boom_Farmer | How do you compute the md5sum for a .iso? | 01:38 |
| tajasel | th0r: (also explained earlier) | 01:39 |
| th0r | tajasel: you can't borrow a usb drive? | 01:39 |
| OerHeks | !md5sum | 01:39 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 01:39 |
| tajasel | th0r: a USB CD drive?no, because nobody I know owns one. | 01:39 |
| th0r | tajasel: and the only way you have to create a usb drive is a mac, right? | 01:39 |
| tajasel | th0r: or a USB flash drive? no need, I have three, all have failed to boot my machine. | 01:40 |
| Boom_Farmer | OerHeks: Thanks! | 01:40 |
| Barzogh | tajasel you have a mac? | 01:40 |
| tajasel | th0r: no, as I have said, several times, I have made the bootable USBs I'm struggling with on the netbook I want to fix. | 01:40 |
| tajasel | Barzogh: yes, I do. | 01:40 |
| Barzogh | you want to boot yout mac from USB? | 01:40 |
| bazhang | !hashes | Boom_Farmer | 01:40 |
| ubottu | Boom_Farmer: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 01:40 |
| tajasel | OH GOD | 01:40 |
| tajasel | NO | 01:41 |
| ParadigmUltra | Wine 1.2.2 or 1.3 beta?? | 01:41 |
| tajasel | I want to boot the netbook that is broken from the USB | 01:41 |
| bazhang | tajasel, lose the caps | 01:41 |
| th0r | tajasel: well, it seems you have eliminated any way of reinstalling, and since you don't want to explore making sufficient repairs to correct anything.... | 01:41 |
| Boom_Farmer | bazhang: Had that, just wasn't sure if i was runnign the command right. | 01:41 |
| bazhang | Boom_Farmer, ah okay apologies | 01:41 |
| tajasel | bazhang: when people start actually paying attention to what I'm saying, sure. until then, well, I believe caps are shouting, and having to explain everything ten times is making me want to shout. wouldn't you want to? | 01:41 |
| quix | I've been paying attention to what you've said, and I came to the conclusion that you are a whiny bitch | 01:42 |
| qin | Sure. | 01:42 |
| bazhang | tajasel, as you have refused all attempts at assistance, I'd say you should lose the caps | 01:42 |
| ParadigmUltra | that's not nice | 01:42 |
| bazhang | quix, thats completely uncalled for | 01:42 |
| KM0201 | bazhang: whats that line you can add to your kernel, if you're having boot problems... it's not nomodeset there's another one | 01:42 |
| quix | "hurry, quickly, I want an answer, now! I demand it!" | 01:42 |
| ParadigmUltra | I personally think it's very rude to call people names over the interne when they are too far from you to sock you in the face. | 01:43 |
| bazhang | KM0201, from !bootoptions ? | 01:43 |
| KM0201 | i dunno, i'll look.. :) | 01:43 |
| tajasel | quix: no, I just want people to read what I'm saying. I don't think that's unreaonable. | 01:43 |
| ParadigmUltra | You should at least give him your address if you are going to name call. It's only fair. | 01:43 |
| aColdshot | Sorry to interrupt, Ive installed Ubuntu for maybe the third time in the last 3 years and this is the one that will stick, anyone know of some good guides to follow? (not listen in the first page of google) thanks! | 01:43 |
| bazhang | lets move on please | 01:44 |
| soreau | aColdshot: To install ubuntu? | 01:44 |
| tajasel | th0r: look. I have a netbook. it has USB, but no CD/DVD drive. I do not know anybody with an external CD/DVD drive. I cannot magic them out of thin air. Can you? I have tried 3x ports and 3x USB sticks (nine different ways of trying the install). I've come here because I've run out of ideas. six different people have tried, and failed, to fix the original problem, I wish to reinstall the OS, but can't, that's why I'm here. | 01:44 |
| OerHeks | tajasel if usb-boot does not work, try to reset your netbook, powerplug out, batery out, push powerbutton 10 sec, and reinstall batery & plug & usb | 01:44 |
| tajasel | th0r: I'm not rejecting the suggestions because I'm unwilling, I'm saying "I've already tried those" and "I can't use hardware I don't have access to" | 01:45 |
| aColdshot | no, once its installed to ease me into everything so I dont get frustrated and revert to a crappy OS | 01:45 |
| ParadigmUltra | aColdshot, if you want everything to work right for a long time, don't install all the updates, just because. I learned that the hard way, and I just had to reinstall the OS again this weekend. | 01:45 |
| tajasel | OerHeks: thank you, I'll try that now. | 01:45 |
| aColdshot | ok, noted | 01:45 |
| soreau | ! install | aColdshot | 01:45 |
| ubottu | aColdshot: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 01:45 |
| aColdshot | sorry maybe I wasnt clear, its allready installed | 01:45 |
| aColdshot | im more concerned about the next steps so I dont get lost and confused | 01:46 |
| qin | tajasel: If you have machine (desktop), just hook up drive there and install (unless 64/32 issue) | 01:46 |
| soreau | aColdshot: What steps? | 01:46 |
| kdg | Is there any Linux based software for tracking sports activities? | 01:46 |
| squirrel | um hi there... i:m a windows user who:s just installed ubuntu w/ unity. where is the control panel or something? | 01:47 |
| aColdshot | like learning how to use it to full potential, maybe a starters guide | 01:47 |
| ParadigmUltra | aColdshot: Checkout YouTUbe, lots of tips and guides. | 01:47 |
| aColdshot | ok thanks I'll brows the tubes now | 01:47 |
| bazhang | squirrel, right side menu (top) system settings ? that one? | 01:47 |
| soreau | squirrel: IIRC, you can click on the power button in the upper right to access the configuration panel | 01:47 |
| tajasel | qin: I don't believe I have a way of hooking netbook up to my desktop | 01:47 |
| phil_ | KM0201: can i ask a couple more questions? | 01:47 |
| KM0201 | phil_: sure. | 01:47 |
| soreau | ! who | aColdshot | 01:48 |
| ubottu | aColdshot: 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 :) | 01:48 |
| ParadigmUltra | So what is best to do, install Wine 1.2.2 or 1.3 beta? | 01:48 |
| aColdshot | !tab | 01:48 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:48 |
| KM0201 | ParadigmUltra: well, if you want stability, 1.2.2 | 01:48 |
| soreau | aColdshot: It all depends on what you're trying to do exactly.. there is the wiki | 01:48 |
| qin | tajasel: Is it sata on both? then no problem. | 01:48 |
| soreau | ! wiki | 01:48 |
| ubottu | http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. | 01:48 |
| squirrel | soreau, indeed.. that:s so... so... | 01:48 |
| aColdshot | soreau, thanks | 01:48 |
| ParadigmUltra | I think I'll try 1.2.2 and see if my games work, if not I'll try 1.3 | 01:48 |
| tajasel | qin: I don't know. SATA on netbook but no idea about iMac | 01:48 |
| soreau | aColdshot: no problem | 01:49 |
| qin | tajasel: iMac may not work. | 01:49 |
| phil_ | KM0201: so it seems to recognize the driver now (maybe because of updates?). when ubuntu opens, i hear sound. but when i go to youtube, i can't get any sound. alsamixer seems to work and sound preferences now shows the hardware | 01:49 |
| ParadigmUltra | before I reinstalled this weekend I had lost all funcationality of my Wine games thanks to running every update thrown at me | 01:49 |
| phil_ | KM0201: any ideas on where to go from here? grabbing headphones as we speak to check that out | 01:50 |
| KM0201 | phil_: my guess is, your speakers are set to digital.. go to that link i sent you, and set your speakers to analog | 01:50 |
| ParadigmUltra | Phil, you using firefox right? | 01:50 |
| phil_ | KM0201: ok | 01:50 |
| tajasel | OerHeks: I've tried restarting as you suggested, when inserting bootable USB now it gives same message as before; "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" | 01:50 |
| phil_ | ParadigmUltra: yes | 01:51 |
| ParadigmUltra | phil_: I believe firefox has it's own alsa plugin that might resolve, or be causing the problem | 01:51 |
| tajasel | OerHeks: I've moved the stick around different ports, and tried 3 different sticks, each time the same error. | 01:51 |
| phil_ | ParadigmUltra: ultimately i want this to work so i can do some voip testing...so firefox is not the answer (necessarily) for me | 01:51 |
| ParadigmUltra | can you get sound on other apps? mp3s? | 01:52 |
| qin | tajasel: Lets start from bios, boot to bios with stick in usb, is it recognised? | 01:52 |
| ParadigmUltra | phil_: can you get sound on other apps? mp3s? | 01:52 |
| phil_ | ParadigmUltra: i haven't tried it since i don't have any right now (school laptop), but i'll throw some on and see. thanks for the suggestion | 01:52 |
| ParadigmUltra | sure | 01:52 |
| ParadigmUltra | np | 01:52 |
| tajasel | qin: yes it is | 01:53 |
| phil_ | KM0201: now i understand the analog link. that did it...thanks. now onto the mic | 01:53 |
| qin | tajasel: And boot order, remove all but usb, reboot | 01:53 |
| KM0201 | phil_: its probably a similar problem w/ your mic.. it's probably set to internal, or maybe some channel that you don't have. | 01:53 |
| tajasel | qin: done | 01:54 |
| phil_ | KM0201: rgr | 01:54 |
| KM0201 | phil_: when its set properly (assuming your mic is hooked up if its an external) you should see the little meter at the bottom move when it detects external noise | 01:54 |
| tajasel | qin: doing so gives following error after it sees and recognises the USB stick: | 01:55 |
| phil_ | KM0201: i'm using an internal mic at the moment, but if this isn't working, i might be searching with friends for an external | 01:55 |
| tajasel | qin: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" | 01:55 |
| th0r | tajasel: did you create the usb drives on the mac? | 01:55 |
| jayson_r | n | 01:55 |
| KM0201 | phil_: like i said, make some adjustments on the "Input" tab.. for your mic.. my guess is, you're gonna et it working | 01:56 |
| tajasel | th0r: no, the netbook, using Startup Disk Utility | 01:56 |
| tajasel | th0r: following instructions on ubuntu.com | 01:56 |
| qin | tajasel: from what version to what version (usb) | 01:56 |
| tajasel | 11.04 to 11.04 | 01:56 |
| phil_ | KM0201: got it to work. thanks for your help!! i've been working on this for weeks. i can't believe it was that simple (but it usually is, right?) | 01:56 |
| KM0201 | phil_: sometimes its just a matter of not knowing what needs to be known.. not that it's necessarily difficult. | 01:57 |
| phil_ | KM0201: ha, thanks again. | 01:57 |
| sd | hmmm...just noticied after i installed 11.04 ubuntu loaded with an error on boot and loaded classic ubuntu but after i set the drivers up and rebooted now looks like 11.04 no errors on bootup | 01:57 |
| KM0201 | np | 01:57 |
| qin | tajasel: Well, you could chroot usb (no idea if this will let you install) | 01:58 |
| phil_ | ParadigmUltra: thanks for your help as well | 01:58 |
| ParadigmUltra | yw | 01:58 |
| tajasel | qin: I don't know what that means, sorry. | 01:58 |
| qin | tajasel: Can you boot usb into mac, did you try? | 01:59 |
| cryoniccore | ok so sound works for the headphone jock in my macbook pro 5,5 but I want Ubuntu to work on my internal speakers. Can someone help me please? | 01:59 |
| tajasel | qin: didn't try, I'm using the Mac to talk from so that I can play about with the netbook | 01:59 |
| aColdshot | Ive had a hell of a time botting from usb on mac | 01:59 |
| aColdshot | booting* | 02:00 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, not sure,, first did you check in terminal alsamixer to be sure none of the sliders are down or muted? | 02:00 |
| sd | aparrantly installing the video drivers helps to load 11.04 | 02:00 |
| soreau | aColdshot: What problem? | 02:00 |
| xavier__ | hi | 02:00 |
| cryoniccore | cos_, no I have not. whats the terminal code for it? | 02:00 |
| qin | tajasel: Let go (as idea) throught this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH | 02:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | aColdshot, are you sure USB booting is even possible on Mac? I believe I've heard it may not be... but i'd never own a Mac, so i'm certainly not sure. | 02:00 |
| ParadigmUltra | Hi Xavier | 02:01 |
| xavier__ | may i have little help please:)? | 02:01 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, just open a terminal, type alsamixer | 02:01 |
| aColdshot | soreau, doesnt work, Ive been able to boot other mac os and windows but was never able to get ubuntu to boot from usb on my macbook pro | 02:01 |
| ParadigmUltra | Sure, just ask | 02:01 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, sorry thats alsamixer | 02:01 |
| xavier__ | im trying to install ubuntu on my computer but its seems ubuntu doesnt want ^_^ | 02:01 |
| xavier__ | i try few times with wubi.exe | 02:01 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, nope wrong again alsamixer | 02:01 |
| ParadigmUltra | If someone is knowledgeable about it they will answer, probably :) | 02:01 |
| xavier__ | and i can get ubuntu to work | 02:01 |
| tntc | aColdshot: I thought there was a specific liveUSB for that | 02:01 |
| aColdshot | Zykotick9, yea it never used to be able to, now it allows mac os and windows with a little push in the right direction, | 02:01 |
| tajasel | qin: I'm willing to give it a go, I didn't know that was possible, I thought USB was my only option due to not having CD drive. | 02:02 |
| xavier__ | only when i get in from recovery mode-> graphic fail | 02:02 |
| aColdshot | tntc, yea thats what I was trying with | 02:02 |
| babu | install linux 2Gb micro sd card | 02:02 |
| xavier__ | and after i get out from graphic fail mode i cant get in there anymore :S | 02:02 |
| qin | tajasel: It is not sure method. | 02:02 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, there you will notice sliders if the card is recognized,,, arrows move back and forth,, if muted, hit the keyboard "m" to unmute | 02:02 |
| tajasel | slightly concerned by the "may break your system" part, I'd ideally like to have a working machine for a training session I'm doing tomorrow. | 02:02 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, up and down arrow move the sliders | 02:02 |
| tajasel | (which involves installing stuff, hence needing to fix stuff...) | 02:02 |
| ParadigmUltra | Xavier_, that's the one that you load from within windows right? | 02:03 |
| xavier__ | kinda,i install it from windows | 02:03 |
| xavier__ | then i have option to choose it while load up | 02:03 |
| ParadigmUltra | xavier__: You may want to try load it from a USB drive, that seems to be the favored way here, unless your PC's BIOS doesn't have the ability to boot from usb | 02:03 |
| xavier__ | and i finished the installation | 02:03 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, if none of that works,, and no one here can suggest anything at this particular time,,, try the #alsa channel and the #pulseaudio channel,,, | 02:04 |
| xavier__ | i cant boot from usb :( | 02:04 |
| Magic_Hobo | how did u put the iso on the usb? | 02:04 |
| xavier__ | and i try few cd's and its seems i cant run its from live cd also | 02:04 |
| xavier__ | unbootin | 02:04 |
| ParadigmUltra | what happens when you try to boot from a live CD? | 02:04 |
| cryoniccore | cos_, sliders are up but no sound | 02:04 |
| cryoniccore | :( | 02:04 |
| xavier__ | i just see the open screen | 02:05 |
| coz_ | xavier__, try the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:05 |
| xavier__ | with the cursor | 02:05 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, ok then move over to both the #alsa and #pulseaudio channels | 02:05 |
| Magic_Hobo | r u running windows atm? | 02:05 |
| tajasel | qin: ok, so if I were to give one last shot at fixing the update manager, what might I need to do? because obviously reinstalling is just as much a PITA as trying to fix it, may as well give it one more go whilst (on my mac) netbootin downloads the iso | 02:05 |
| sd | wow 11.04 is like a whole new OS where is the terminal? lol | 02:05 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, not sure when most people are in those channels | 02:05 |
| ParadigmUltra | xavier__: Your computer is 32 or 64 bit? | 02:05 |
| xavier__ | 32 | 02:05 |
| aColdshot | sd, I'm still looking heh | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | at the first installation step | 02:06 |
| coz_ | sd, hit alt+F2 or click the upper left ubuntu symbol and type in terminal | 02:06 |
| ParadigmUltra | xavier__: And the CD is for the 32 bit version, correct? | 02:06 |
| qin | tajasel: I mena to paste this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | i had 5 option to choose from | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | i cant access only from acpi work something | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | yea lol | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | can* | 02:06 |
| coz_ | sd, or log off and change session to classic | 02:06 |
| FloodBot1 | xavier__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:06 |
| ParadigmUltra | stupid robot :-/ | 02:06 |
| xavier__ | how i can change to classic? | 02:06 |
| sd | coz_found it thanks | 02:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | !classic | xavier__ | 02:07 |
| coz_ | !classic | 02:07 |
| ubottu | xavier__: 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". | 02:07 |
| tajasel | qin: is that more likely ro work without breakage than over SSH? | 02:07 |
| sd | yeah mine ubuntu 11.04 went back to classic until i installed the video driver and rebooted | 02:08 |
| chaddy | bah, just setuid and added root to some groups, surely wrong but iwfm | 02:08 |
| ParadigmUltra | xavier_: it doesn't sound like you are getting far enough to make that choise, but I could be wrong. i never tried to install it that way. only from CD | 02:09 |
| qin | tajasel: Never tried ssh method. | 02:09 |
| tajasel | qin: I would actually be *quite* hapopy to just resolve the Update Manager issue, if that can be done, I'm just really sceptical now because so many people have been trying for so long to do so. | 02:10 |
| cryoniccore | wow this really sucks | 02:11 |
| tajasel | This is the error being thrown by UM when it tries to read poackage lists: http://pastebin.com/QxA1aq87 | 02:11 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, no one in either of those channels responded? | 02:11 |
| cryoniccore | coz_, no not really. | 02:12 |
| soreau | Can anyone tell me why google earth shows no text? Previously the text was strange but fixed by installing some fonts package but I load it today and all the text is gone | 02:12 |
| bazhang | tajasel, that error is easily fixed, got hit by it myself | 02:12 |
| jeffmr | hello | 02:13 |
| jeffmr | I created a usb boot disk to boot on a pc from a mac. Followed the instructions for creating the flash drive. It is created but it won't boot | 02:13 |
| tajasel | This error is just the latest to hit me, each time it has given me an error I've fixed/moved.edited/done something to the file it complains about, try to read package lists again and then it has something different to complaiun about | 02:13 |
| jeffmr | no option for it to boot on either computer | 02:13 |
| bazhang | tajasel, for some reason ( bug) the archive files are saved as html, delete the offending ones and then update sources.list and upgrade | 02:13 |
| jeffmr | any ideas? | 02:13 |
| tajasel | bazhang: if you think you know what';s wrong though, please, do go for it! | 02:13 |
| soreau | Actually, the text might be present but extremely tiny | 02:14 |
| coz_ | cryoniccore, I am not real familiar with apple/ubuntu issues,, however ,, did you look here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 .. not sure how applicable it is for you | 02:14 |
| bazhang | tajasel, I just said what it was | 02:14 |
| jeffmr | format says iso but was originally hfs | 02:14 |
| bazhang | tajasel, there are about 8-10 of those iirc | 02:14 |
| tajasel | bazhang: right, I was typing looking at my keyboard not the screen, I;'m trying it now. | 02:14 |
| jeffmr | also says the drive is read only, I tried to change permissions on it but it didn't work I think | 02:14 |
| bazhang | tajasel, in this one case you may wish to use gksudo nautilus though be very careful and immediately shut it when done | 02:15 |
| soreau | Can someone please help me with google earth tiny fonts problem? I tried adjusting GuiFontSize in the config file to no avail | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | soreau: what version of google earth are you using? | 02:17 |
| soreau | KM0201: How can I check with all the fonts unreadable? | 02:18 |
| tajasel | bazhang: it's gone 2am, I think doing that would be unwise. I'm using mv to push them into a different folder so I nstill have them just in case | 02:18 |
| bazhang | tajasel, its the fix. and it works without question. | 02:18 |
| soreau | KM0201: I installed the latest stable from the google site a couple months back | 02:19 |
| Northernen | How can one find the version of an installed application? | 02:19 |
| KM0201 | soreau: hmm.. | 02:19 |
| bazhang | tajasel, how you go about it is entirely up to you. | 02:19 |
| soreau | KM0201: on natty | 02:19 |
| soreau | I don't recall having this problem in previous version of ubuntu | 02:19 |
| lei_ | hi | 02:19 |
| KM0201 | soreau: open synaptic and search google earth in synaptic, and see what version it shows. | 02:19 |
| jeffmr | hi | 02:19 |
| lei_ | I am a new comer~ | 02:19 |
| KM0201 | cuz i'm using 6.0, and it's flawless | 02:19 |
| bazhang | lei_, ubuntu support question? | 02:20 |
| jeffmr | welcome | 02:20 |
| jeffmr | bazhang can you help me with my boot problem? | 02:21 |
| soreau | KM0201: 6.0.3.2197+0.6.0-1 0 | 02:21 |
| KM0201 | soreau: same one i have. | 02:21 |
| bazhang | jeffmr, ask the channel, if someone knows they will help | 02:21 |
| soreau | :/ | 02:21 |
| jeffmr | I asked | 02:21 |
| lei_ | Is there anyone who know about KVM or use it on Ubuntu? | 02:22 |
| Gryllida | !anyone > lei_ | 02:22 |
| ubottu | lei_, please see my private message | 02:22 |
| soreau | Well this really sucks :( | 02:22 |
| bazhang | jeffmr, never used a mac to make one of those, sorry; not sure how to use that (unetbootin ) with macs | 02:22 |
| Gryllida | !kvm > lei_ | 02:22 |
| cryoniccore | coz_, I think the tutorial is outdated cus #3 tells me to click on alsa link to find model number for my card by drop down box but when I get there, there is no drop down box at all | 02:22 |
| bazhang | lei_, whats the real question. please be very clear | 02:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | lei_, do you mean Kernel Virtual Machine or Keyboard Video Mouse? | 02:23 |
| lei_ | oh,sorry... This is my first use of IRC | 02:23 |
| bazhang | lei_, the more details the better | 02:23 |
| soreau | KM0201: Try to adjust qtconfig now.. | 02:24 |
| KM0201 | ok | 02:24 |
| robin0800 | cryoniccore: you mean alsamixer in a terminal | 02:25 |
| tajasel | bazhang: sorry, connection dropped. am going through and moving the offendingfiles elsewhere on my system, instead of simply deleting them, so if I need them gain I still have them. I'm assuming moving them away from where the package manager will find them will stop it getting upset? | 02:25 |
| jeffmr | does this command look right for writing, dd if=ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.img of=/dev/rdisk1 bs=1m | 02:26 |
| bazhang | tajasel, only way to know is to try. it worked for those others coming here with the exact same issue, and for myself. | 02:26 |
| mikelietz | PATH is set in my ~/.profile. Is there a way to set it for all users' .profiles ? | 02:26 |
| tajasel | bazhang: ok, I'll keep going... have now moved at least 16 offending files. | 02:26 |
| mikelietz | or at least, for all users? | 02:26 |
| soreau | KM0201: yep, had to set the point size to *way* higher in qtconfig | 02:27 |
| lei_ | #kvm | 02:28 |

| KM0201 | soreau: well, glad you got it working (weird though, i didn't have to do anything like that) | 02:29 |
| joshlegs | so, question: how do i access windows files through ubuntu? | 02:29 |
| jmknsd | joshlegs, you should be able to mount the drive normally. | 02:30 |
| soreau | KM0201: But now all street names are nearly black, unreadable :/ | 02:30 |
| soreau | maybe it's driver issue | 02:30 |
| joshlegs | hm. under places i can see some windows stuff, but i have some papers saved on my desktop | 02:30 |
| KM0201 | soreau: thats strange... | 02:30 |
| joshlegs | that when i click on desktop under the 298GB file system, i dont see files, just program names | 02:30 |
| joshlegs | ... | 02:31 |

| joshlegs | idiot | 02:31 |
| bazhang | joshlegs, file share? or just access them ie mount the drive via fstab | 02:31 |
| soreau | KM0201: yea, but I got the directions I needed. Think I can remember without street names :) | 02:31 |
| joshlegs | oops. can i talk in here again? | 02:31 |
| Gryllida | yea | 02:31 |
| KM0201 | soreau: lol, there's always google maps.. :) | 02:31 |

| tajasel | bazhang: you suggested something earlier, would tht make this process fastr? | 02:39 |
| bazhang | tajasel, gksudo nautilus on the relevant directory, the html files stand out very clearly in the browser, and you can delete/move them or whatever at a single stroke. be very careful when using it though, and close it immediately thereafter. | 02:41 |
| bandit22 | ok | 02:42 |

| bandit22 | can anyone give me any hints or help | 02:45 |
| bazhang | tajasel, thats the update manager being confused. it will right itself after a bit, or you can just remove it | 02:45 |

| Henryk | n-iCe: it's not | 03:33 |
| bazhang | http://bashish.sourceforge.net/download.html aColdshot this? | 03:33 |
| aColdshot | yea | 03:34 |
| Henryk | n-iCe: generally the power should be automatically determined by the card, and if it has to send with too much power that means your base station is farther away | 03:34 |
| n-iCe | Henryk: why? | 03:34 |
| n-iCe | Henryk: ok, so how do I set it to auto ? | 03:34 |
| anomaliz | hi everybody | 03:34 |
| anomaliz | can I put Gnome3 together to gnome shell? | 03:35 |
| anomaliz | I wanna do it but I cannot | 03:35 |
| Henryk | n-iCe: I think it is. that line is just there to inform you of the current state. (like the bit rate, which you usually also don't set) | 03:35 |
| minimec | n-iCe: You might consider "iwconfig ethX power off" for better wlan stability. | 03:35 |
| lei_ | Is there anyone who knows how to configure network by bridge mode? i really need help! | 03:35 |
| lei_ | ps: use libvirt to start a kvm guest | 03:36 |

| ZykoticK9 | anomaliz, if you want to use Gnome3 check out Fedora | 03:37 |
| n-iCe | Henryk minimec the thing is everything I boot ubuntu up says 27, but my awus036h seems to work better if I set it to 10, why? | 03:37 |
| Kane` | rt2500usb - how can i get this on ubuntu-server 10.04 ? | 03:37 |
| Henryk | lei_: brctl addbr br0; ip link set $first_interface up; brctl addif br0 $first_interface; ip link set $second_interface up; brctl addif br0 $second_interface; ifconfig br0 $whateveripyoulike up | 03:37 |
| Henryk | (or something like that) | 03:37 |
| Henryk | n-iCe: huh? | 03:37 |
| n-iCe | minimec: Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : SET failed on device wlan1 ; Operation not supported. | 03:37 |
| n-iCe | Henryk: yes, Tx-Power= is set 27 by default, but if I change it to Tx-Power=10 dBm works better, I mean I can surf the internet faster | 03:38 |
| minimec | n-iCe: Ok. That is possible. It depends on the possibilities of the driver. | 03:38 |
| anomaliz | I have gnome3 on my ubuntu 10.10 but I wanna gnome shell together to gnome3 | 03:38 |

| tertl3 | can someone help me with Unity 2D vs 3D | 03:40 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | anomaliz please read carefully | 03:40 |
| ubottu | anomaliz please read carefully: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu.

| tertl3 | PandoraGaming, do it at login time | 03:40 |
| bazhang | PandoraGaming, you mean kdm? | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !text | 03:41 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 03:41 |
| aColdshot | omg you include the '.' when typing /configure? I thought it was there to note start of code *facepalm* | 03:41 |
| n-iCe | minimec: that's weird, why is not my card or ubuntu setting by default the best option to the best performance i just don't get it | 03:41 |
| Henryk | Skaperen: raid-1 on 11 devices?!? now that's a little excessive, don't you think? ;-) | 03:41 |

| V7|RTK | is there a web server that I could take it for learning web devlopment likes XAMP in windows? | 03:45 |
| bazhang | !lamp | V7|RTK | 03:46 |
| ubottu | V7|RTK: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:46 |
| stercor | I'm upgrading from 10.11 to 11.04 and the console has been stuck at this line: "Installing new version of config file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default" Is it really doing something else and just stopped there? The progress bar has been stuck at "About 4 minutes remaining" for about 15 minutes. | 03:46 |
| V7|RTK | thanks you bazhang | 03:46 |
| bazhang | stercor, let it time out / continue | 03:46 |
| stercor | Time out? It can do that, huh? | 03:46 |
| bazhang | stercor, if it fails, yes | 03:47 |
| Henryk | Skeeter-: ok, what did you do? As far as I can tell there is not much else to do besides http://www.howtoforge.com/software-raid1-grub-boot-debian-etch-p2 Part 6 just that you have excessively many disks and therefore need to do the root (...) and setup (...) a couple more often | 03:47 |
| Skeeter- | Henryk, it doesnt even work on 1 | 03:47 |
| alexleon | sd voice doesnt work either on empathy | 03:47 |
| anomaliz | when can I find good information about GTK 2 | 03:49 |
| Henryk | Skeeter-: oh, scratch that. I didn't see that you were trying to do something with GRUB2. Sorry, I have never used that before | 03:49 |
| alexleon | sd sorry voice works :) | 03:49 |
| Skeeter- | Henryk, oh... | 03:49 |
| bazhang | anomaliz, what about gtk2 | 03:49 |
| PandoraGaming | i downloaded and installed SysV Runlevel Config and i see kdm but it doesn't have any X's in 1,2,3,4,5,0,6, or S what am i suppose to select to prevent it from loading during system boot | 03:50 |
| anomaliz | I want to hold more information about it | 03:50 |
| anomaliz | I'm programmer but I'm new in ubuntu | 03:50 |

| bazhang | !nox | PandoraGaming you mean this? | 03:52 |
| ubottu | PandoraGaming you mean this?: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

| anomaliz | sorry I cannot explain you because I don't know many English | 03:52 |
| anomaliz | but thanks you =) | 03:52 |
| bazhang | anomaliz, thats okay, but its not really an ubuntu specific support question | 03:53 |
| lei_ | Henryk: Thanks for your reply, i am a newcomer to engage in kvm open source, and a new to here. i really want to fix that bug on ubuntu, and i have made a test pacth,but now still don't know how to test it... | 03:54 |
| anomaliz | do you know how to program with gtk? | 03:54 |
| edbian | anomaliz: I know how with python and pygtk. I've never used gtk in C/C++ | 03:54 |
| PandoraGaming | ok i can do the append text thing that sounds easy last question, I only run 2 programs on here and they stay running how do i launch them both in terminal cause terminal only lets me do one thing at a time | 03:55 |
| edbian | PandoraGaming: use an & at the end of the first command | 03:55 |
| edbian | PandoraGaming: Or use 2 terminals ;) | 03:55 |
| bazhang | PandoraGaming, screen irssi there? | 03:55 |
| n-iCe | hello, how can I know and install the best/newer drivers for my awus036h | 03:56 |
| PandoraGaming | how can i use 2 terminals cause if i disable kde at boot all i will have is one terminal | 03:56 |
| bazhang | n-iCe, additional drivers menu | 03:56 |
| Henryk | PandoraGaming: you generally have 6: Alt-F1 through Alt-F6 | 03:56 |
| edbian | PandoraGaming: ctrl + alt + F2 is another temrinal | 03:56 |
| n-iCe | bazhang: bazhang don't think so | 03:56 |
| edbian | PandoraGaming: also. use an & Then you only need 1 term | 03:56 |
| bazhang | n-iCe, sure thats it | 03:56 |
| PandoraGaming | oh wow i didn't know that lol | 03:56 |
| lei_ | It's hardly to the environment setting for the kvm... | 03:56 |
| anomaliz | jeje do you know some group to do apps? | 03:57 |
| bazhang | n-iCe, newer ones will be there when they become available | 03:57 |
| bazhang | anomaliz, do apps? | 03:57 |
| n-iCe | bazhang: how can I know the version | 03:57 |
| anomaliz | I wanna learn making | 03:57 |
| PandoraGaming | if i append text to the kernal will that prevent X and kde from launching at system boot, i just wanna keep my resorces as low as possible :P | 03:57 |
| anomaliz | yes | 03:57 |
| bazhang | !packaging | anomaliz | 03:57 |
| ubottu | anomaliz: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 03:57 |
| bazhang | n-iCe, it shows in the additional drivers screen | 03:58 |
| anomaliz | yes but I want in a group of programmers | 03:59 |
| bazhang | PandoraGaming, installing gnome and / or kde4 is not really a path to using minimal resources | 03:59 |
| anomaliz | do you get me? | 03:59 |
| bazhang | anomaliz, read the links please | 03:59 |
| anomaliz | ok =) | 03:59 |

| ParadigmUltra | !skydome | 04:03 |
| bazhang | ParadigmUltra, probably. try #compiz if no one here knows | 04:03 |

| compubomb | anyone know if ubuntu has the updated scheduler, just curious, i read about it last year and was wondering if they ever added it to the ubuntu kernel. | 04:26 |
| bin_bash | I can't figure out how to check whether or not I'm running the EFI or BIOS version of GRUB | 04:26 |
| alexleon | cant make video calls | 04:27 |
| bin_bash | alexleon, Have you considered that maybe it's not implemented? | 04:27 |
| alexleon | video calls are important :( | 04:27 |
| rww | bin_bash: use your favorite package manager to see which grub* package you have installed. grub-pc means BIOS, the other names should be self-explanatory. they can't be installed simultaneously, so there should only be one. | 04:28 |
| alexleon | i have isntalled codecs nd everything | 04:28 |
| rww | bin_bash: (the options are pc, coreboot, efi-amd64, efi-ia32, ieee1275, and legacy (which is GRUB1 which I don't think supports EFI)) | 04:28 |
| bin_bash | I definitely have GRUB2 | 04:28 |
| bin_bash | as it's 1.99 | 04:29 |
| bin_bash | Is it apt-search? | 04:29 |
| bin_bash | I'm used to using Pacman | 04:29 |

| Jon-- | I know that BackTrack is not officially supported by Ubuntu. However, I have been trying for hours to get assistance in various channels [##linux and #backtrack-linux], so here is my issue. Created live USB with GRUB2 and several different tools. Formatted with fat32, works fine with other distributions (including ubuntu). Attempting to add the BackTrack 5 ISO. Unfortunately, I get "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium contai | 04:45 |
| Jon-- | ning a live file system" and I get dropped into the Ubuntu minimilist shell (after the BackTrack 5 splash is displayed for about 30 seconds). Here is my grub config file. http://pastebin.com/5wqyZKpL | 04:45 |
| rww | Jon--: If you know it's not supported, why are you asking for support with it? | 04:46 |
| tertl3 | Dr_Willis the icon is there but it wont open? | 04:46 |
| Jon-- | rww, Because I've been sitting with Google and IRC for 4 hours to no avail. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | bad iso is bad... | 04:46 |
| rww | Jon--: Go ask #backtrack-linux or install Ubuntu. | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis_ | tertl3: run it from te3rminal | 04:46 |
| mman | h1gh, which argument do you have to use with -newer? | 04:46 |
| Jon-- | rww, I already run ubuntu as my main OS, hence why this is going on a USB. I have ran Ubuntu for about 4 years now. | 04:46 |
| * rww sighs | 04:47 | |
| Dr_Willis_ | i dont see much need for bt. they seem ot have a lot of issues | 04:47 |
| tertl3 | Dr_Willis 'nvidia-settings' is currently not installed | 04:47 |
| rww | Jon--: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives. Please do not ask for help with unsupported derivatives in #ubuntu. | 04:47 |
| h1gh | mman: with -newer you would use a filename you created with touch to the start date for your search | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | tertl3: odd. its part of the nvidia drivers package | 04:47 |
| Jon-- | rww, Very well, I'll continue hopelessly for another 4 hours then. | 04:48 |
| tertl3 | Dr_Willis could be my kernels since I have low lat kernel installed | 04:48 |
| tertl3 | gonna try something | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | tertl3: no idea on that. | 04:48 |
| mman | h1gh, so i create a file with touch with date lets say 2011/1/1 and then use that file as my "reference point"? | 04:48 |
| saksham | i currently have opensuse installed. I wish to switch-over to ubuntu, and add more disk space too. So do I need to remove the grub i have right now?? | 04:49 |
| Jon-- | Dr_Willis_, I don't have my heart set on using an ISO, however I'm not sure how I could boot it without an ISO or doing serious formatting to the drive, which already works well for other things. I'll stop my discussion as this is off topic. If you'd like to assist, please PM me. | 04:49 |
| h1gh | mman: right, like `touch -t 201101010000 test` then `find . -newer test` | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis_ | saksham: install ubuntu it will install its own grub | 04:49 |
| MikuChi | hi | 04:49 |
| mfilipe | I get 500 error :( | 04:49 |
| MikuChi | ubuntu | 04:49 |
| MikuChi | users :3 | 04:49 |
| mfilipe | sync contacts with ubuntu is sux :( | 04:49 |
| saksham | but what about the grub currently installed? will it remain? | 04:50 |
| saksham | i have dual boot right no - win 7 and suse | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | only one grub on the mbr at a time saksham | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | pick an os to manage it. | 04:50 |
| mman | h1gh, and then can i pipe it and cp it? like: find -newer test | cp * / | 04:51 |
| n-iCe | what kernel does 11.04 uses? | 04:51 |
| rww | n-iCe: 2.6.38 | 04:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ubuntu shold be able to boot all 3 of those saksham | 04:51 |
| n-iCe | how often does ubuntu upgrades kernel rww? | 04:52 |
| saksham | is it necessary that grub resides in MBR? (I think i didn't install it in the MBR, while installing suse) How do I check it? | 04:52 |
| rww | n-iCe: each new version of Ubuntu has a new kernel. Once a version is released, the kernel is not upgraded to new major versions, per our stable release updates policy. | 04:52 |
| tertl3 | Dr_Willis now nvidia-settings is working, but no Unity 3D still | 04:53 |
| h1gh | mman: well if I wanted a copy, I would pipe to something like tar, but yes, that's the idea, maybe with xargs, and watch filenames with spaces in them | 04:53 |
| n-iCe | rww: you know any distro who uses always the lastest kernel? does it exists? | 04:53 |
| rww | n-iCe: so 11.04 has 2.6.38, 10.10 has 2.6.35, 10.04 has 2.6.32, etc., and they will always have those kernel versions. | 04:53 |
| rww | n-iCe: try asking ##linux, we stick to Ubuntu in here :) | 04:54 |
| mman | h1gh, i searched for xargs but didnt understand what is it for | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis_ | n-iCe: source based distros are focused on the latest stuff nooormally | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ubuntu focuses on stable | 04:55 |
| n-iCe | Dr_Willis_: source based? | 04:55 |
| buddha_ | n-iCe: choose a rolling-release like Arch, or build your own with Gentoo | 04:55 |

| ozpr0gs | intel | 04:59 |
| tertl3 | Dr_Willis, I was looking for "Unity 3D" my mistake :) | 04:59 |
| h1gh | mman: it would not work so well with cp, so that's why I would make a tarball first, for example | 05:00 |
| mman | h1gh, :S | 05:00 |
| buddha_ | ozprogs: what's the output of 'lspci | grep -i network' ? | 05:01 |
| html-inprogress | i just saw some guy post that this swap is 27gb and has 8gb of ddr2.... itsnt that really REALLY HIGH ? | 05:01 |

| Dr_Willis_ | your doint it wrong then ;) | 05:03 |
| ParadigmUltra | html-inprogress: My swap file is 16Gigs | 05:03 |
| cypha | it's a python traceback | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis_ | whates the exact command you are using | 05:03 |
| buddha_ | cypha: try 'less' instead of 'more' | 05:04 |
| cypha | paster serve setup.ini | 05:04 |
| rww | maybe you need to redirect stderr to stdout? | 05:04 |
| ParadigmUltra | html-inprogress: My swap file is 16 Gigs for 8gigs of Ram. but 22 isn't outrageous. | 05:04 |
| cypha | less doesn't do anything either | 05:04 |
| cypha | well, it at least put me in the screen for "less" where the bottom left shows "end" but still, I can't scroll up and down | 05:05 |
| alexleon | :( who have installed live messenger with wine? | 05:05 |

| ParadigmUltra | !swap | 05:06 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 05:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | ParadigmUltra, html-inprogress i personally think 2x RAM in modern systems is probably overkill. In order to use Hybernate swap must be "slightly" large then physical. But a 16GB swap is almost certainly to underused, and thus a waste of HD space. | 05:06 |
| cypha | so scrollable how? | 05:06 |
| mman | h1gh, ill use that if i dont find the answer for copy! ill tell you if i found it ;) thanks for the help :D | 05:06 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| ParadigmUltra | I have a solid state hard drive so I use a swap FILE instead of a partition, because constantly writing memory to one area of my drive will kill my drive's life. A file will get written wherever there is free space anywhere on the drive. It's also easy to resize if I need to. | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis_ | alexleon: not all im video features are supported. | 05:08 |

| alexleon | i need it working witn live messenger | 05:08 |
| cypha | buddha_, that didn't work | 05:08 |
| cypha | it only output the last line | 05:09 |
| buddha_ | hmm | 05:09 |
| ParadigmUltra | I have hear from people that if you have lots of memory 8-16 gigs, you probably don't need swap. But I like to keep things the way that I know it has worked for years. | 05:09 |

| alexleon | microsoft sucks | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis_ | so use an alternative | 05:11 |
| ugly_duck | minimec: are there not open source drivers or something? | 05:11 |
| minimec | ParadigmUltra: With a modern SSD the hardware algorythm will never write constantly on the same area, even with a fix swap partition. | 05:12 |
| buddha_ | cypha: I'm kind of out of ideas, I don't work with servers so I don't really know my way around them. | 05:12 |

| alexleon | mm brb | 05:12 |
| stercor | bazhang: The 10.11 upgrade to 11.04 still has 4 minutes to go and remains at the same statement. | 05:12 |

| cypha | buddha_, this did it: paster serve setup.ini 1>&2 2> output.txt | 05:12 |
| buddha_ | nice! | 05:12 |
| minimec | ugly_duck: there is only the radeon driver. You would have two possibilities for 3D acceleration... Gallium3D (default on 11.04) or old mesa 3D. | 05:13 |
| ParadigmUltra | minimec: That's good to know. Still may as well not take the chance. Some times those algorythms have questionable effectiveness | 05:13 |

| fosco99997 | ZykoticK9, i am looking at the program right now that lists all the plugins | 05:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | fosco99997, ahhh, sorry. | 05:45 |
| Austin_ | correct i have both a CD and USB for 11.04 ... first I tried the CD/DVD and it started to install to the external drive fine then gave me the Access Denied error when trying to write the Boot.ini file.... so i unistalled what had been installed and tried the USB same thing happened so I tried the WUBI installer and same thing... now I have no option to just install i HAVE to do the trial... | 05:45 |
| Austin_ | ...then install method and upon re-boot my PC just boots into XP | 05:46 |
| Austin_ | ive never installed or even used Ubuntu i've just been hearing good things about it and wanted to try to install it to my External Western Digital My Passport 500GB USB 2.0 drive for a mobile OS | 05:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | fosco99997, you could try what is recommended here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1138273 best of luck | 05:47 |
| Eryn_1983_FL | hey peeps I use to have this how to to remove the encrypted /home setup from ubuntu but I can't find it. anybody have a how to out there for it? | 05:47 |
| buddha_ | Austin_: I admire your willingness to try. Have you tried removing your internal drive before trying to install so that the only HD connected to your motherboard is the external? | 05:48 |
| Austin_ | buddha_: no I have not as I'm running a laptop and that would cause my computer to have nothing to run off of | 05:49 |
| fosco99997 | ZykoticK9, i got it thanks to your link, thank you | 05:49 |
| KM0201 | Austin_: have you considered just installing like a normal person, and partitioning your internal drive and setting up a dual boot? | 05:49 |
| Austin_ | KM0201_: I don't get an option to partion EVER for some reason... my installer graphics looks ENTIRELY different to any pics ive seen on youtube or the ubuntu site and that threw me off at first | 05:50 |
| buddha_ | KM0201: Hey now, he knows what's best for his hardware | 05:50 |
| Zolty1 | Hello I am wondering if I can show someone my windows 7 entry from grub.cfg and tell me if it looks right. It's not booting windows and not giving me an error it just goes back to the normal grub screen that pops up. | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | buddha_: i woudln't say that.. :) it wasn't an insult.. it's just i think some users(new ones especially) because they are afraid of partitioning, and they try to reinvent the wheel by installing to an external | 05:51 |
| buddha_ | KM0201: touche | 05:52 |
| qin | Is there any picassa stuff for ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| buddha_ | lousy keyboard that doesn't do accents | 05:52 |
| Austin_ | KM0201_: Im not afraid to partition if i had the option i trust ubuntu ive heard nothing but praises from people i trust | 05:52 |
| Zolty1 | qin http://picasa.google.com/linux/ | 05:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zolty1, if you are using Grub2 you really shouldn't be editing grub.cfg at all (it gets overwritten when there is a kernel update), does "sudo update-grub2" not automajically find your Windows 7? | 05:52 |
| Gryllida | qin, what do you mean? | 05:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | !pastebinit > Zolty1 | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Zolty1, please see my private message | 05:53 |
| qin | Gryllida: Just founded, ment client. | 05:53 |
| Zolty1 | ZykoticK9 it finds it fine and lists it fine, its just when I scroll down to it and select it it goes back to the main screen w/o an error | 05:53 |
| Gryllida | ok | 05:53 |
| Austin_ | Buddha please help me solve this in provate chat? | 05:53 |
| buddha_ | Austin_: Ok, so you boot up the disk, select the "Install" option, then what do YOU do? | 05:53 |
| qin | Ups, Wrong arch... | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | Austin_: and what options did you say it gave you? | 05:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zolty1, ok, if grub2 finds it - i'm no further help. Good luck. | 05:54 |
| Zolty1 | ZykoticK9 http://paste.ubuntu.com/638229/ | 05:55 |
| Zolty1 | ZykoticK9 Actually this should be the boot partition for windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/638230/ | 05:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zolty1, looks OK to me - but i wouldn't know. Good luck. | 05:56 |

| luyi | hello | 05:01 |
| Zolty1 | hi | 05:01 |
| dr_willi1 | howdy | 05:02 |
| luyi | this is the first time for me to use IRC | 05:02 |
| luyi | wonderful place | 05:02 |
| Gryllida | Indeed. | 05:03 |
| dr_willi1 | its a bit of a slow night in here today. | 05:03 |
| KM0201 | luyi: well, this is a good channel to come to.. :) | 05:03 |
| html-inprogress | how can i make a cloud storeage | 05:03 |
| qin | Zolty1: Well, feh is mostly enough foe me, but have to get pictures from google account, so I guess picasa is best option. | 05:03 |
| Gryllida | !ubuntuone | html-inprogress, is this what you want | 05:04 |
| ubottu | html-inprogress, is this what you want: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 05:04 |
| dr_willi1 | i do recall some gpl dropbox type clone you could run on your own. but i never used it. | 05:05 |
| html-inprogress | thats the idea but i want to make one for my self, | 05:05 |
| dr_willi1 | i dont even recall its name | 05:05 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, do you want to host a cloud? | 05:05 |
| bkerensa | If I change DE on Ocelot will that change be reverted during any future upgrades? | 05:11 |
| Gryllida | bkerensa, doubt it. | 05:12 |
| Gryllida | bkerensa, it's user setting, I've not seen those be just wiped out. | 05:12 |
| rww | bkerensa: #ubuntu+1 for Ocelot discussion and support, please | 05:12 |
| bkerensa | Gryllida: Can you explain LTS to me... Does LTS mean newer packages available in Natty are available in LTS? | 05:12 |
| html-inprogress | i think so , im not sure | 05:13 |
| html-inprogress | Gryllida, i tgink so | 05:13 |
| Gryllida | bkerensa, updates are availabel for both channels, but they're not exactly same. Most are but some aren't. | 05:13 |
| bkerensa | Hmm | 05:13 |
| bkerensa | Ok | 05:13 |
| bkerensa | I just don't wanna let go of classic | 05:13 |
| bkerensa | thats why I ask] | 05:13 |
| bkerensa | people are saying going to LTS is the best move | 05:14 |
| Gryllida | bkerensa, most things maveric can do, natty also can; you just need to set it how you like. | 05:14 |
| KM0201 | bkerensa: i agree.. it was hard for me to dump ubuntu.. I just don't like Unity, and when I took a look at Gnome 3, it sucks to... so i just had to embrace the change now.. rather than wait for it | 05:15 |
| Anastasius | Oh good, I'm unbanned. Next question please! | 05:15 |
| bkerensa | Yeah but Mav and Natty will lose updates and some point which means I will have a choice between updates or being forced to use Unity | 05:15 |
| bkerensa | I wish Natty was LTS | 05:15 |
| KM0201 | bkerensa: well, ubuntu 12.04, Painful Pallyups, will be LTS>.. :) | 05:16 |
| Gryllida | bkerensa, next lts release will have most new things. | 05:16 |
| KM0201 | actually, what are the odds, that "P" won't be "Penguin"...? | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | Phoenix Penguin | 05:17 |
| rww | KM0201: pretty high, Ubuntu doesn't tend to like strengthening the associations with Linux branding | 05:17 |
| KM0201 | rww: you're probably right | 05:18 |
| J0E | Hi, all. Need your advise. Have a Lenovo T61 and am thinking to install Ubuntu 10.4 on it. Worked since years with windows and this would be my 2. Ubunut installation and I fear to run into a heap of mess. Whats your opinion ? | 05:19 |
| KM0201 | J0E: why 10.04? | 05:19 |
| J0E | Cause its a TLS | 05:19 |
| KM0201 | hmm, ok.. i guess. is this a home machine? | 05:20 |
| J0E | Not really,use it when I'm travelling | 05:20 |
| dzeremis | Hello everyone. I would like to ask for your help. I need some assistance regarding installation issues. I have a stable installation of Ubuntu 10.04. I wished to upgrade to 11.04 and the easiest way seemed to be installing them "side by side." Well, I did. No matter how careful I thought I was with the password, I couldn't get into 11.04. I went to try to install over it and the only option the Ubuntu installer gave me was to wipe out | 05:20 |
| dzeremis | everything. No way. Well, I installed a third copy of 11.04, which works. (I'm not in it right now. I have a wireless router driver issue to fix, but that's not the point.) The point is that I've got three copies of Ubuntu installed and three file systems. I only want two of them, and the installer didn't automatically pull in my previous files and such. Could you please (a) help me remove one of these excess 11.04 installations and (b) see | 05:20 |
| dzeremis | can pull my previous data into 11.04? | 05:20 |
| FloodBot1 | dzeremis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:20 |
| jesse_ | hello | 05:21 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, hello there. | 05:21 |
| jesse_ | anyone using Ubuntu here..!! | 05:21 |
| dzeremis | Hello | 05:21 |
| jesse_ | hi | 05:21 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, of course. | 05:21 |
| Zolty1 | Nope we are all mac users | 05:21 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: that was amazing | 05:22 |
| dzeremis | Har har. | 05:22 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: How so? | 05:22 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: your best bet, is to back up any important data on the "good" 11.04 partition | 05:22 |
| KM0201 | delete them both, and install 11.04 again | 05:23 |
| jesse_ | hello gryllida | 05:23 |
| jesse_ | are you there.? | 05:23 |
| html-inprogress | Gryllida, i think so ,, about making a cloud | 05:23 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, hi, I'm here | 05:23 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Okay. Thanks for your advice so far. I need some help deleting them. I simply don't know how. Could you tell me? | 05:23 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, please ask the channel, what's your issue? | 05:23 |
| J0E | Has someone experience with Ubuntu on a Lenovo Thinkpad ? (in my case a T61) | 05:23 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: wel, first, do you need to back anything up on those partitions? | 05:23 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, the channel knows it way better than me, just ask in here. | 05:23 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: As of right now, I have nothing invested in either of these 11.04 partitions. I just need to be sure I identify which one is my 10.04 partition. | 05:24 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, hold on please. | 05:24 |
| jesse_ | see im trying to install an Opensource library management software KOHA on my UBUNTU | 05:24 |
| html-inprogress | ok | 05:24 |
| KM0201 | J0E: what are exactly your questions, its unlikely you're gonna find someone w/ a t61 tonight. | 05:24 |
| jesse_ | can anybody help in this regard,...?? | 05:24 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok. | 05:24 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, stand by please. I'll be searching soon. | 05:24 |
| === redhat is now known as Guest90718 | ||
| KM0201 | and i take i you can't tell which is which, by looking at the partitions, right? (ie, the sizes) | 05:24 |
| jesse_ | thanks | 05:25 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I just want to be sure I don't delete everything by accident in the installer. | 05:25 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok... open up gparted... if youre in 11.04 and have unity, search for gparted, and open it... if you're using gnome classic, system/admin/partition editor | 05:25 |
| yimfos | 有人吗 | 05:26 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Um... Well, to be honest, no, not based on the sizes alone. If you give me a minute, I can pick out the size of the 10.04 partition. That's a start. | 05:26 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: ... Okay, just a moment. | 05:26 |
| Gryllida | yimfos, China? | 05:26 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok... figure out which is 10.04 first. (and double check and triple check thats it) | 05:26 |
| yimfos | 有人就说话 | 05:26 |
| J0E | KM0201: I dont want to waste days to find out that it does not work on a Thinkpad or its not worth it as it does not support it well enough. So my question is can I get help from the Ubuntu community for it or not. | 05:26 |
| Gryllida | jesse_, they didn't package it, you will need to compile; please download it from http://www.koha.org/liblime-koha-42 and try to find a README file in the archive. | 05:26 |

| dzeremis | KM0201: I am in 10.04. My laptop's native wireless router needs some minor driver tweaking to work in 11.04, so I can't do anything useful in them right away. Looking for partition info... Will be back in a moment. Thanks for waiting patiently. | 05:27 |
| KM0201 | J0E: 1. it's between midnight and 2am in most of the US.. the odds of someone being on right now, that has that can answer a specific question about a specific laptop, is very very unlikely... .my suggestion, would be to download a live cd/usb, boot it, and try it.. if there's a problem, ask questions about the problem | 05:27 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, can you plese describe, what exactly do you want to host? | 05:27 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: you mean wireless driver? | 05:27 |
| timClicks | is there any way to know whether installing Ubuntu and running apt-get upgrade will help? | 05:27 |
| Gryllida | timClicks, please describe your issue in one line. | 05:28 |
| KM0201 | timClicks: apt-get upgrade, will bring your install current.. what problem are you having? | 05:28 |
| timClicks | I'm having trouble with a LiveUSB & a Symantec touchpad on a new laptop. It's extremely jerky. | 05:28 |
| timClicks | is there any way to know whether installing Ubuntu and running apt-get upgrade will help? | 05:29 |
| J0E | KM0201: OK makes sense, I'm living on an Island in the Indian Ocean, so here its 10 am. Ok will try this Live cd/usb boot . Thx | 05:29 |
| KM0201 | timClicks: what version of ubuntu do you have now? | 05:29 |
| Gryllida | timClicks, what OS you currently using, what hardware, what do you mean by 'jerky'? | 05:29 |
| timClicks | KM0201: 10.04 | 05:30 |
| vetun | off_, | 05:30 |
| timClicks | Gryllida: a HP Pavilion dm1 | 05:30 |
| timClicks | Gryllida: by jerky, the cursor will jump accross the screen in a seemingly random fashion | 05:30 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Still here, working on it. | 05:31 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: thats fine, i'll be here for a little bit.. not going anywhere | 05:31 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Thanks very much for sticking around and sticking with me. | 05:32 |
| Mendax | timClicks: stupid question no other parts of your hand is touching it? | 05:32 |
| KM0201 | Mendax: lol | 05:32 |
| timClicks | Mendax: No. That's a good question. I've also cleaned the touchpad a few times just in case | 05:32 |
| alexleon | :) all what u have to do is ctrl + alt + f1 | 05:34 |
| nomego | Hi guys, just installed gnome 3 and don't find any appearance settings anywhere, where do I look? | 05:34 |
| rww | nomego: 1) GNOME 3 is not officially supported by any released Ubuntu version, and is thus not supported in this channel. 2) click your name and then click the settings-related option, and also install gnome-tweak-tool | 05:35 |
| Gryllida | timClicks, does it happen with another OS? | 05:35 |
| nomego | rww, thank you | 05:35 |
| timClicks | Gryllida: No. Windows 7 works flawlessly. | 05:36 |
| nomego | rww, so where would I turn for information about gnome 3 in ubuntu by gnome3-team ? | 05:36 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I've (installed and) opened Gparted. It looks like /dev/sda1 (65G of a 120G HD) is my Ubuntu 10.04 partition. Everything else (there are a bunch) looks like it's under /dev/sda2, Extended. | 05:36 |
| jhansonxi | timClicks: See this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1739152 | 05:36 |
| rww | nomego: nowhere, that PPA isn't supported | 05:36 |
| html-inprogress | Gryllida, like ubuntu one/drox box .... for myself, or for the commuinty to use ,,, if i can get it running get enough | 05:36 |
| timClicks | jhansonxi: ty | 05:36 |
| alexleon | :( i think im going back to windows | 05:36 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: How can I make absolutely certain of which partition houses my 10.04 data? It would be the partition I am currently using. I'm just not sure how to verify, to make absolutely sure. Ideas? | 05:37 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, so, file sharing; I'll search on that if I can. | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: hang on | 05:37 |
| quaisi | dzremis: I use gparted to check | 05:37 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Okay. | 05:37 |
| KM0201 | quaisi: the problem is, he's got 3 different ubuntu installs, so he's not sure which is which. | 05:37 |
| dzeremis | quaisi: I am in Gparted but don't know the program very well. Could you tell me how you would check? | 05:37 |
| buddha_ | dzeremis: if you can't unmount it in gparted its your current partition | 05:38 |
| quaisi | ah ok i got in there late it seems :) | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | quaisi: yeah. | 05:38 |
| buddha_ | right-click and select unmount | 05:38 |
| KM0201 | well, thats a good point... if he's on his current partition, he won't be able to unmoun tit | 05:38 |
| alexleon | can i set up a wi fi printer with ubuntu? | 05:38 |
| buddha_ | yup | 05:38 |
| dzeremis | KM0201 and quaisi: Thank you both. :-) It looks like what it may have done is saw the size of the partition in half. There are multiple sub-partitions under /dev/sda2. | 05:38 |
| buddha_ | alexleon: what kind of printer? | 05:39 |
| oscalation | whats the channel for ubuntu off topic chat | 05:39 |
| rww | oscalation: #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:39 |
| oscalation | rww, thanks | 05:39 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok... can you unmount sda1..? | 05:39 |
| KM0201 | or do you get an error? | 05:39 |
| ParadigmUltra | Dang, this is messed up. My virtual win7 is blue screening me :-( | 05:40 |
| alexleon | samsung clx-318fw color all in one | 05:40 |
| KM0201 | ParadigmUltra: lol, there's something that makes me laugh about that. (but its happened to me w/ XP before) | 05:40 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I've been using Ubuntu for a while without delving into the code of it. I'm not computer-ignorant, but I don't know how to do that properly. Should I do it in command line? | 05:40 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Or in Gparted? | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: no.. you're on 10.04 now, right? | 05:41 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, I think you could just install an ftp server for that if you really want to host (just sharing via obuntuone/dropbox is much easirt though); to see how to install ftp, search 'ftp' in software center; I'm not sure, maybe channel comes up with better ideas. | 05:41 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Yes, I am. I am in 10.04 with both root command line and Gparted open. | 05:41 |
| Raptors | Does anyone here who uses openshot know how to turn off the annoying white outline on the title? | 05:41 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok... what is sda1.. is it ext4?.. whats the mount point | 05:41 |
| html-inprogress | Gryllida, not just that , like you can use it with xchat | 05:42 |
| ParadigmUltra | lol, I'm going to have to chkdsk my virtual drive. heh | 05:42 |
| KM0201 | lol | 05:42 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: It is ext4. THe mount point is /. Before attempting to install 11.04, I only had one main partition for 10.04. | 05:42 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok.. try to unmount that partition, and see if you get an error that it cannot be unmounted | 05:42 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, use what with xchat? | 05:42 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I am guessing to go ahead and try unmounting in Gparted? | 05:43 |
| buddha_ | alexleon: it seems it is possible. Try this link http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/ | 05:43 |
| html-inprogress | Gryllida, so how do you make a cloud ? | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: yes, right click sda1, and choose unmount | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | see if you get an error. | 05:43 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Will do. One moment, please. | 05:43 |
| KM0201 | (i'm assuming you don't have programs/files open on the other partitions at the moment. | 05:43 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: No, everything else is closed down as far as I know. I can see the partitions from within 10.04, but I don't think there's a thing active on them. | 05:44 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: It would not let me unmount /dev/sda1. | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | ok.. | 05:44 |
| Gryllida | html-inprogress, sorry, I don't see what you want; please ask the channel (not me) and describe your purpose. | 05:44 |
| KM0201 | then thats very likely your 10.04 partition... you have a swap partition? | 05:44 |
| alexleon | pff i dont understand i need step by step :D is it hard? | 05:45 |
| fizyplankton | has anyone else been having major issues with facebook lately? im on 10.04, using both chrome and firefox, and it hasnt worked for me in months. its really starting to piss me off | 05:45 |
| Gryllida | fizyplankton, what's the problem? | 05:45 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Naturally, there should be a swap partition. When installing, unsure how to go about it, I just let the installer pick out how to reconfigure the partitions, aware that I did not want to delete my original partition. (...) | 05:45 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok.. this machine doesn't have windows on it does it? | 05:46 |
| KM0201 | since sda1 is / i'm guessing windows isn't on this machine | 05:46 |
| fizyplankton | Gryllida: since i hate my old account (long story), i was trying to create a new one. but when i hit submit, nothing happens. when i log into my old account, the home page loads, but nothing else loads | 05:46 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: (I'll be telling you about the swap partition momentarily.) No, this machine is Windows-free, except that I have Vista installed on this partition under Oracle VM VirtualBox. I don't suffer Windows to have that kind of status on my machine. :-) | 05:47 |
| Gryllida | fizyplankton, what happens when it 'doesnt load'/ | 05:47 |
| Gryllida | ? | 05:47 |
| buddha_ | alexleon: that link is a little old, here's one that's about 6 months newer: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-453362.html | 05:47 |
| fizyplankton | Gryllida: the 3 little bars next to the sign up button start flashine (but that doesnt mean anything. its just a .gif animation). then nothing else at all happns | 05:48 |
| Raptors | Does anyone here who uses openshot know how to turn off the annoying white outline on the title? | 05:48 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok... and i just wanna verify what you've told me so far.. you have 10.04, and two, 11.04 installs, and you want the 11.04 installs, basically deleted, so you can make 1... and you have a current cd.. right? | 05:48 |
| KM0201 | curreint 11.04 cd, that is | 05:48 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Naturally, there is a swap partition. I'm not sure how the partition groundwork was laid before, but currently the swap partition is under /dev/sda2 (extended, mount point unspecified). That is to say, the swap is at /dev/sda5 (linux-swap, mount point unspecified), under /dev/sda2. | 05:48 |
| alexleon | buddha thank u | 05:48 |
| buddha_ | no problemo | 05:49 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok, so if you delete that extended partition, it's gonna delete all that crap, right? | 05:49 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I have 10.04 and two 11.04 installs. Each of the three appears to have its own partition. I want to delete the 11.04 installs and then reinstall one. I would prefer to keep my 10.04 data and integrate in into 11.04, and I have the current 11.04 install CD handy. | 05:49 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Yes, I believe that is so, except I wonder what to do about the swap partition. But indeed, that partition is just crap! | 05:50 |
| alexleon | buddha u know if there is any problem with video calls with skype from windows to ubuntu?? | 05:50 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: we'll create a new swap w/ the 11.04 installer | 05:50 |
| KM0201 | just delete the whole extended partition. | 05:50 |
| dzeremis | Okay, that sounds fine. My 10.04, with which I am talking to you, will keep functioning once I delete the partition? | 05:51 |
| buddha_ | alexleon: no idea I don't use skype. try it out | 05:51 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: I ask because I see no other swap partition. | 05:51 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: thats fine, like i said, we'll deal w/ it when we install 11.04 | 05:51 |
| alexleon | k buddha | 05:52 |
| === type0 is now known as type00 | ||
| KM0201 | alexleon: some video cameras do not work well w/ skype... i don't have a camera, but my audio works pretty good. | 05:52 |
| dzeremis | Okay. I just want to let you know that I don't really have a way to talk to you during the 11.04 installation, except perhaps if we get my Android phone onto Freenode. Just a moment while I delete the wacky partition. | 05:52 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: ok, then i would try to get here w/ your android, or if you want, you can IM me on AIM or MSN | 05:53 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Interestingly, Gparted doesn't give me the option to kill the /dev/sda2, or its underlying partitions. | 05:53 |
| buddha_ | swapoff | 05:53 |
| KM0201 | dzeremis: try expanding the sda2... and kill the partitions one at a time. | 05:53 |
| alexleon | km0201 empathy also make audio calls with live messenger but video calls doesnt work :(. | 05:53 |
| KM0201 | alexleon: well, empathy also sucks.. so.. | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | it's a tradeoff | 05:54 |
| dzeremis | KM0201: Both sound good. What program would you recommend for Android? If you could give me AIM as a back-up, that would also be helpful. | 05:54 |
| alexleon | i need video calls working then i can keep ubuntu | 05:54 |
| fizyplankton | dzeremis: if you are using the partition, like if it is your currently booted os, then gparted cant edit them | 05:54 |
| i2iot | My system has been freezing a lot since I installed ubuntu, is there anything I can do when my cursor stops and my computer is unresponsive besides holding down the power button? | 05:54 |

| KM0201 | dzeremis: i'm not familiar w/ droids, so i can't help you on a droid irc client.. i just PMd you my AIM name | 05:55 |

| KM0201 | alexleon: have you tried installing skype, and seeing if video works? | 05:56 |
| mynotes | i'm using ubuntu10.10. how to check if the specific application running on my machine | 05:57 |

| sd | i2iot i'm not sure but i had same problem from a usb stick so i went to local bookstore and bought a couple of linux magazines that had linux installs on disk ran it from disk so i'm thinking might be the install maybe need to make a newer better copy but not sure? | 05:58 |
| buddha_ | or ps aux | grep ruby | 05:58 |

| buddha_ | if you want hard kill 'killall ruby' | 06:00 |
| KM0201 | kill kill kill... what makes the grass grow.. blood blood blood.. :) | 06:00 |
| KM0201 | i alwasy think of that when people talk about "killall" | 06:00 |
| buddha_ | mynotes: otherwise, get the PID and do 'kill -9 yourPIDhere' | 06:01 |
| * dzeremis is back on the computer. | 06:01 | |
| mynotes | buddha_: how to get PID | 06:02 |
| buddha_ | mynotes: it should be a four number ID from the 'ps aux | grep ruby' info | 06:03 |
| mynotes | buddha_: thanks I got it | 06:04 |
| sd | dang linux magazines cost me almost $17.00 and $20.00 wow | 06:04 |
| KM0201 | sd: you actually pay for those? | 06:05 |
| buddha_ | cool beans | 06:05 |
| sd | yep | 06:05 |
| sd | linux user and linux format | 06:05 |
| sd | those are the names of the current magazines | 06:06 |
| buddha_ | you don't buy linux magazines | 06:06 |
| sd | i know but i wanted these issues for some reason | 06:06 |
| buddha_ | you put them inside the cover of a Steal This Book and run out of the store laughing. | 06:06 |
| KM0201 | .. hmm, i wasn't advocating stealing either. | 06:07 |
| KM0201 | lol | 06:07 |
| sd | right.....lol | 06:07 |
| buddha_ | hey, who was just talking about blood feeding the grass | 06:08 |
| * dzeremis is in the middle of intense efforts and will be away from the channel for a bit. Thanks for the support and talk to you soon. I appreciate every bit of help. | 06:08 | |
| KM0201 | buddha_: thats a line from a movie..lol | 06:09 |

| aarcane | how to debootstrap a whole ubuntu server install ? | 06:10 |
| buddha_ | anybody need any help? | 06:18 |
| KM0201 | o/ | 06:19 |
| buddha_ | I just fubard my Arch partition trying to install Zenix. anyone got suggestions for a new distro? | 06:20 |
| aarcane | buddha_, try fedora. | 06:22 |
| buddha_ | aarcane: should have mentioned I have an old (7 years) laptop. so no Gnome3 or Unity 3D for me. | 06:23 |
| aarcane | buddha_, O | 06:24 |
| buddha_ | yeah, im thinking CRUX or gentoo | 06:24 |
| aarcane | buddha_, I'm just being facetious. you nuked Arch for Zenix, and asked #ubuntu for ideas, so I suggested another non-sequiter distro for you. | 06:24 |
| KM0201 | buddha_: how much ram does that system have? | 06:25 |
| buddha_ | 1.5GB with room for 2! | 06:25 |
| KM0201 | buddha_: http://www.lubuntu.net if you like ubuntu, but just hate unity/gnome 3 you won't regret it. | 06:25 |
| KM0201 | it's awesome | 06:25 |
| aarcane | I'd love a nice gnome-3 based distro, but ubuntu switched to unity, and it sucks. | 06:26 |
| Peddy | I'm experiencing glitched/choppy sound in 11.04. Is this a known problem? it fixes when I reboot | 06:26 |
| buddha_ | aarcane: yeah, true on both posts | 06:26 |
| KM0201 | aarcane: opensuse and fedora, to my knowledge, are the only gnome 3 distros right now. | 06:26 |
| buddha_ | arch too | 06:26 |
| KM0201 | yea, but arch is... arch | 06:26 |
| ahmtfth | hey all | 06:26 |
| buddha_ | hey there | 06:26 |
| buhman | 'restarting' sshd doesn't seem to do anything; how can I tell sshd to drop all connections? | 06:26 |
| sd | oh and i like openSuSe | 06:27 |
| i2iot | how do i change the webcam settings on ubuntu? | 06:27 |
| aarcane | KM0201, yes, arch is awsome, but it lacks some basic common sense niceties of apt, so I had to give it up after having to recursively list an entire directory to not have it nuke my configs... | 06:27 |
| aarcane | buhman, kill -9 ? | 06:27 |
| KM0201 | aarcane: lol | 06:27 |
| buhman | aarcane: the question is which process(s) ? | 06:27 |
| aarcane | buhman, but be careful... | 06:27 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: whhy dont you ssh into the machine then restart sshd? | 06:27 |
| kylemcgill | And see if you ssh connection dies | 06:28 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I tried that; it doesn't | 06:28 |
| kylemcgill | also you can netstat then grep port 22 | 06:28 |
| kylemcgill | cant think of the netstat flag that you will need though sorry | 06:28 |
| kylemcgill | if you want to find out who is still on the machine type who | 06:29 |
| kylemcgill | or "w" | 06:29 |
| aarcane | buhman, it doesn't close existing sessions for a reason. if it did, you could almost never restart SSHD, because when you do, you'd get disconnected, and the command to restart sshd would never run from the init script. you want new sessions to occur in their own time. trust the TENS OF YEARS of experience that went into making that decision. | 06:29 |
| kpolinar | hi guys! | 06:29 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: what's the deal now? | 06:29 |
| Peddy | buddha_, what do you mean? | 06:30 |
| kylemcgill | aarcane: +1 | 06:30 |
| kpolinar | I'm new to ubuntu and just installed xampp using this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=cc9b01005f7f7f99a2189c48f3346ee3&t=223410 | 06:30 |
| Zombie | Excuse me. | 06:30 |
| buhman | I guess I should have been more specific; I was also doing reverse port-forwarding, and now those ports still seem to be bound and I can't bind anything else to them | 06:30 |
| Zombie | Do you know how to roll back a rogue or crashing apt-get update to a prior version? | 06:31 |
| buhman | And there's lots of ssh's running, but w only shows my login | 06:31 |
| buddha_ | so you said that you get glitchy sound, is there an obvious reason for this that you can see, like is there one specific action that you do? | 06:31 |
| buhman | sshd's | 06:31 |
| buhman | http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9053/ | 06:31 |
| sd | 1 other thing i noticied when installing 11.04 is that it would be easy to skip through the install when getting to the timezone you can still click forward | 06:31 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/killing-an-ssh-session-339440/ couple with who and you should be ok | 06:32 |
| Peddy | buddha_, I think the problem arises randomly, or sometimes when I watch flash videos. It's hard to reproduce but goes away with a reboot. | 06:32 |
| wildbat | buhman: why don't you kill all the sshd ? | 06:32 |
| aarcane | buhman, so you want the netstat | grep, however, I don't remember the netstat flag either. try man netstat | 06:32 |
| buddha_ | hmm | 06:32 |
| buhman | wildbat: haha | 06:32 |
| aarcane | wildbat, we've been through that. bad idea. | 06:32 |
| buhman | wildbat: umm how about no | 06:32 |
| aarcane | buhman, if all else fails, sudo shutdown -r now; exit; will fix your problem. | 06:32 |
| mcurran | sudo halt | 06:33 |
| buhman | aarcane: I'd rather not; I don't have physical access to this machine... | 06:33 |
| buhman | aarcane: easy physical access | 06:33 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: does it affect removable media ie DVDs or just internet content? | 06:33 |
| aarcane | mcurran, again, halt is a bad idea. the -r makes it reboot automatically. | 06:33 |
| wildbat | aarcane: why is that? | 06:33 |
| mcurran | sudo reboot then | 06:33 |
| Peddy | buddha_, all the sound that comes through my speakers, including DVDs and digital audio and flash video and movies | 06:33 |
| CruX| | dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/git_1%3a1.7.4.1-3~ppa1~lucid3_amd64.deb (--unpack): | 06:33 |
| buhman | aarcane: I would loose all access to that machine; terrible idea | 06:34 |
| aarcane | wildbat, his own connection would be dropped, and no new sshds would spawn. | 06:34 |
| buhman | wildbat: ^ | 06:34 |
| aarcane | anyway, goodnight. | 06:34 |
| buhman | aarcane: thanks | 06:34 |
| CruX| | /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: 12: dpkg-maintscript-helper: not found | 06:34 |
| mcurran | yeah, unless you add a ssh init script for startup | 06:34 |
| CruX| | is this also in ubuntu or its debian only ? | 06:34 |
| aarcane | mcurran, that's why he wants shutdown -r now; | 06:34 |
| mcurran | and have autostartup enabled so there is no login beforehand | 06:34 |
| CruX| | i have ppa repos and this is probably bug | 06:34 |
| kamada_ | sir can i ask something? | 06:35 |
| buhman | mcurran: "autostartup"? | 06:35 |
| kamada_ | why ubuntu is no refresh? | 06:35 |
| wildbat | aarcane: i think the upstart will respwn the sshd ~ | 06:35 |
| mcurran | like for instance, not all distros have an automated login, so you would have to login and then do a startx | 06:35 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: that's weird. | 06:35 |
| aarcane | wildbat, test it and let us know, I'm going to bed. | 06:35 |
| wildbat | aarcane: tested | 06:35 |
| mcurran | as long as you have startup already enabled with ubuntu or tty, you should be good | 06:36 |
| kylemcgill | buddha, you should just kill all SSH sessions by pid | 06:36 |
| mcurran | I'm not sure, but you probably could just issue a update-rc.d ssh defaults if there's already an item in init.d for ssh | 06:36 |
| kylemcgill | if yours is killed then ssh back up and continue, that would be the short answer | 06:37 |
| buhman | mcurran: then again there's also the possibilty my bios battery would die when I reboot... that's happened before (I'm too lazy to buy a new one) | 06:37 |
| kylemcgill | its not ideal, but it will work | 06:37 |
| mcurran | yeah, that would be better | 06:37 |
| mcurran | oh come on | 06:37 |
| astraljava | CruX|: Yes, looks like the PPA package has a bug. PPA packages in general don't have official support, so please find the maintainers of the archive and ask for help there. | 06:37 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: looks like a known bug with a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/778141 | 06:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 778141 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Pulseaudio makes choppy sound after some time" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 06:38 |
| mcurran | bios firmware defaulting shouldn't effect any ssh startup scripts anyways | 06:38 |
| buhman | mcurran: I'm talking about rebooting the whole machine | 06:38 |
| mcurran | why do you want to reboot anyways? | 06:38 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: is the server not in a datacenter? | 06:38 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: not really | 06:39 |
| CruX| | astraljava: thx | 06:39 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: it's in a room in another building that I don't have the key to | 06:39 |
| kylemcgill | ahh i see | 06:39 |
| buhman | mcurran: I thought that was your suggestion | 06:39 |
| Peddy | buddha_, was the workaround to restart pulseaudio? because I did that, and it hasn't changed anything | 06:40 |
| buhman | mcurran: err no you're the one that said halt... | 06:40 |
| kylemcgill | lol | 06:40 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/167/list-the-number-and-type-of-active-network-connections | 06:41 |
| kylemcgill | this will help you to find ssh connections | 06:41 |
| kylemcgill | active ones | 06:41 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: that doesn't work | 06:43 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: yeah that was the workaround. Are you sure your graphics card is beefy enough to provide Unity 3D and smooth audio? (just a stupid question to get it out of the way) | 06:43 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9054/ | 06:44 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I'm still a little puzzled on which sshd's go where | 06:44 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: should I be killing the not "connected" ones? | 06:44 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I know I don't have that many active connections... | 06:44 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: are you logged in as zack? | 06:45 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: yes | 06:45 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: does anyone else login as zack? | 06:45 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I do | 06:45 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: multiple connections from multiple machines | 06:45 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: some of those are just reverse-port forwards | 06:45 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: ok so we assume that no other connections are made by others apart from webserver calls then | 06:46 |
| Peddy | buddha_, yeah, definitely. Even when I disable unity, it doesn't work. Funnily enough, it starts working even after I suspend (sleep) then resume the machine | 06:46 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: you would be the only one on the machine, and you wish to kill all other ssh connections logged in under zack, would that be correct? | 06:46 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: yeah, I don't care about the legitimate connections; they can be killed too | 06:47 |
| netdemon | holaaaaaaaaaa | 06:47 |
| kylemcgill | This will log you out but you can log back in and it doesnt effect sshd if it is running under root | 06:47 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: basically if we could somehow kill every sshd except for the one that I'm currently using... | 06:48 |
| kylemcgill | pkill -u `whoami` | 06:48 |
| kylemcgill | oh | 06:48 |
| netdemon | i | 06:48 |
| netdemon | i have a question | 06:48 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: that's a strange one. | 06:48 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I remember doing pkill -u "root" once... not a good idea :) | 06:48 |

| kylemcgill | assuming they are inactive | 06:49 |
| buddha_ | go for it | 06:49 |
| fuzzybunny69y | does anyone know what I could do to get it to resume | 06:49 |

| netdemon | look....i have installed ubuntu 10.10 and it work very very very good but when i install ubuntu 11.04 its a........well it never works.....i cant use compiz......and a lot of programs cant work | 06:50 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hmmm | 06:50 |
| kylemcgill | fuzzybunny69y: what about you ps aux | grep cp | 06:50 |
| fuzzybunny69y | that jobs -l doesn't list anything | 06:50 |
| rtbt | scroll = OFF | 06:50 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: that looks like a bad idea | 06:50 |
| rtbt | damn. | 06:50 |
| thunder1212 | i use ubuntu 10.04, i want to restrict access to usb drives and cd drives on the pc.. what should i do? | 06:50 |
| sd | netdemon they have other ubuntu language channels if anyone can direct him right language channel i don't know what they all are | 06:50 |
| rtbt | my scroll is failing on irssi | 06:50 |
| rtbt | any ideas? | 06:50 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: killing inactive sessions? | 06:50 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I did the pkill -u but I don't think that exactly worked | 06:50 |
| kylemcgill | pkill -u zack would be the full command | 06:51 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: of course ^ | 06:51 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hmmm | 06:51 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: sorry I can't help more. That seems well beyond the scope of my minimal knowledge. I assume it is a bug that has to be fixed | 06:51 |
| fuzzybunny69y | maybe I will just recopy it or something | 06:51 |
| fuzzybunny69y | Gnome is so annoying it keeps doing that | 06:51 |

| fuzzybunny69y | but whenever I click on anything it doesn't respond | 06:52 |
| netdemon | thunder1212 you only need to edit the users rigths you need to go to administration->group and users and you need to put the righs thah you want to have the users of your system | 06:52 |
| buddha_ | netdemon +1 | 06:52 |
| Peddy | that's alright buddha_ thanks for your help! | 06:52 |
| buddha_ | happy to try | 06:53 |
| fuzzybunny69y | thanks anyway guys | 06:53 |
| sd | fuzzybunny69y my mouse does that to but the laptop mouse pad near near the keyboard does not help | 06:53 |
| fuzzybunny69y | hmmm | 06:54 |
| netdemon | doe s | 06:54 |
| fuzzybunny69y | yeah i dunno what is wrong with it | 06:54 |
| fuzzybunny69y | im just going to switch | 06:54 |
| fuzzybunny69y | and use ubuntu as a server | 06:54 |
| netdemon | does anyone have some av in ubuntu? | 06:54 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: and my ices, application server, and current bash sessions, but the orphaned sshd's seem to still be lingering... | 06:54 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: sorry i dont know of any other way to help without killing your own sessions, unless you were to somehow block all IP's apart from yours | 06:54 |
| fuzzybunny69y | the desktop stuff is too buggy and annoying | 06:54 |
| buddha_ | netdemon: if you want it there is clam av | 06:55 |
| ManateeLazyCat | Hi all, have any program/tool convert between .debian and .po file? Thanks. | 06:55 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/9055/ | 06:55 |
| astraljava | haux: If you're inclined to using apt-get, here's a good tip for the future: `apt-cache search <search_term>`, but that would be sun-java6-jre in this case. | 06:55 |
| netdemon | yes i know it....the reason its because a i came from windows and i cant forget the avs software je ej | 06:55 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: I thought root owned sshd... so that wouldn't really work I don't think | 06:56 |
| astraljava | haux: Depending on your ubuntu release, of course. | 06:56 |
| fuzzybunny69y | cya guys | 06:56 |
| fuzzybunny69y | i love you all | 06:57 |
| thunder1212 | so i go to users and groups > advance settings> user priviliges> ? then what options should i uncheck | 06:57 |
| haux | astraljava, I don't really have a preference, but I appear to be having some difficulties installing it otherwise. I remember Ubuntu being so easy... I just installed the latest 11.x and am already running into problems. | 06:57 |
| haux | astraljava, so I was looking for a more automated way to install it. | 06:57 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: root does, however if you want to keep your current session open its not like you can pipe the username across, which is present in the netstat, so there has to be another flag to determine all running applications what streams they have, which is somewhat what we see in your pastie. However to find out which session you are currently holding is a little differcult unless a guru can help | 06:57 |
| netdemon | thunder1212 then you go to advanced settings,you need to put the password of the system administrator and at las you go to rigths of users........ | 06:58 |
| buddha_ | haux: search Ubuntu Software Center for jre and then install the sun-java one. | 06:58 |
| kylemcgill | To be honest i dont know the answer, however im really just throwing ideas in the air | 06:58 |
| kylemcgill | buhman: ^^ | 06:58 |
| thunder1212 | yes i did that, u mean user privileges? | 06:59 |
| astraljava | haux: I don't know what you mean with automated install, but `sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre` should install it for you. If it doesn't, please pastebin the errors that you're running into, and we'll take it from there. | 06:59 |
| netdemon | thunder1212 yes | 06:59 |
| haux | buddha_, the only one listed in the software center is OpenJDK | 07:00 |
| thunder1212 | ok then i uncheck access external storage device automatically | 07:00 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: oh, and most of these orphans are ssh -N 's | 07:00 |
| buhman | kylemcgill: so that's also why the pkill didn't work | 07:00 |
| buddha_ | thunder1212: yep | 07:00 |
| netdemon | haux: you need to install ubuntu restricted extras so you put sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras then you need to put sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get install jre6&&sudo apt-get install jre6-plugin | 07:01 |
| thunder1212 | ok its that simple, wOw ;) thnx bye.. | 07:01 |
| netdemon | thunder1212: yes | 07:01 |
| haux | astraljava, 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre' yields a "has no installation candidate" message. | 07:01 |
| Peddy | is anyone having issues with the screensaver not unlocking in 11.04? | 07:01 |
| haux | netdemon, I will try that. | 07:02 |
| netdemon | haux: ok | 07:02 |
| astraljava | haux: Right, you probably don't have partner repository enabled. | 07:02 |
| netdemon | peddy:ubuntu 11.04 its not a stable ubuntu | 07:03 |
| netdemon | it never works well | 07:03 |
| astraljava | haux: Look into that in /etc/apt/sources.list, and uncomment the line[s], then `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre` | 07:03 |
| Peddy | netdemon, 11.04 entered stable 2 months ago | 07:03 |
| harvi_svk | netdemon: why not ? Im running 11.04 with no problems | 07:03 |
| Noorman | i have some quirky things with 11.04 | 07:04 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: its got a lot of problems, and some people just have the right hardware or get lucky | 07:04 |
| buddha_ | I for one run it perfectly in a virtualbox | 07:04 |
| sd | same here not problems with 11.04 but only after a proper install and proper video driver install | 07:04 |
| netdemon | i think that the best vercion its 10.10 and my computers its only 9months old | 07:04 |
| pratz | hey guys have any body used paydollar payment gateway, i am planning to use it , i know this is not a question related to ubuntu, still i am using python so if you want to comment on this, it is appreciated , thanks | 07:05 |
| buddha_ | i am also a big fan of the 10.10 | 07:05 |
| KM0201 | buddha_: i didn't have to many problems w/ Unity, other than it was slow.. but i think thats cuz i've got a 1.7ghz Celeron and 1.5gig of ram... it worked, just much slower than gnome 2.x and when i tried Gnome 3.. same thing.. thats why i just decided it was time to embrace a change | 07:06 |
| Peddy | there are always going to be people reporting problems in this channel, no matter the release. Using it to gauge problems with a release overall, for all users, is not accurate, because users will only come here with problems. | 07:06 |
| KM0201 | danslo1: i thought your name was "danslol" and i was expecting a really good story on something you did during install..lol | 07:07 |
| buddha_ | Peddy: this is the first time i've ever been on IRC. There are plenty of niggles in Natty. | 07:07 |
| sd | after installing 11.04 without the video driver my computer booted in classic which is basically 10.10 | 07:07 |
| netdemon | haux: soory the command line after install ubuntu restricted extras is: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 07:07 |
| danslo1 | KM0201: home pc hijacks original nickname :( | 07:07 |
| === danslo1 is now known as danslo | ||
| KM0201 | danslo: ah... | 07:07 |
| KM0201 | sd: unity requires 3D support... so if you don't have your 3D drivers installed, you can't use unity. | 07:09 |
| KM0201 | sd: did you install your graphics drivers? | 07:09 |
| buddha_ | KM0201: yeah I just can't run the unity. my hardware is too old. oh well, ratpoison it is. | 07:09 |
| sd | yeah i did that's why im not in classic | 07:09 |
| netdemon | sd:the best vercion i think its ubuntu classic.............. | 07:10 |
| KM0201 | buddha_: hup. | 07:10 |
| KM0201 | ok.. | 07:10 |
| netdemon | the newest desktops like gnome 3 and unity are very heavy for the system | 07:10 |
| haux | Ok, I uncommented two listings for "Canonical's 'partner' repository", updated, and tried sun-java6-jre again. This time it worked. Installing now. | 07:10 |
| netdemon | haux:;) | 07:11 |
| confezzor | it's cause they found a big in the kernel that unity is sucking up to much power | 07:11 |
| confezzor | but they are going to fix that soon | 07:11 |
| netdemon | confezzor:that error its resolved yet | 07:11 |
| buddha_ | and then maybe people can start donating to Phoronix for finding the regressions | 07:11 |
| netdemon | do you want to telol you the solve | 07:11 |
| netdemon | ? | 07:11 |
| confezzor | ok cool..thanks for the heads up | 07:12 |
| netdemon | weel the soplve of that error its this: | 07:12 |
| sd | i heard 12.04 is gonna be way better than 10.10 and LTS something that i heard earlier in xchat | 07:13 |
| confezzor | cause of waylane... | 07:14 |
| confezzor | i know i'm spelling it wrong | 07:14 |
| haux | Alright, so, how do I execute a .jar file? | 07:14 |
| === ocs is now known as faLUCE | ||
| confezzor | use java.. | 07:14 |
| netdemon | confezzor here its the solve you only need to put this command at the boot time :pcie_aspm=force | 07:14 |
| Dr_Willis_ | java -jar foo.jar | 07:14 |
| haux | Awesome, thanks. | 07:15 |
| confezzor | oh ok sweet netdemon....good to know..i'm going to write that down now | 07:15 |
| buddha_ | yeah I herd 12.04 is gonna ship with 600 new desktop environments and will be able to program you to the moon and it has a squillion supported hardware setups. | 07:15 |
| sd | lol | 07:16 |
| buddha_ | if you have an intel graphics card | 07:16 |
| sd | have to wait and see i guess | 07:16 |
| confezzor | well if you don't have intel i say you are WRONG lol | 07:16 |
| sd | nope using amd athlon :( | 07:17 |
| netdemon | buddha:when the newest vewrcion of linux linux3 como there will be a better support for intel graphics card | 07:17 |
| buddha_ | netdemon: I was referring to the fact that only Intel graphics cards support Unity out of the box ( I believe) | 07:18 |
| haux | Well, I've got another unrelated question. It used to be, back in Ubuntu v9 and 10, that programs like Pidgin and X-Chat would have icons in the system tray. Now they don't... is there a way to re-enable this in 11.04? | 07:18 |
| buddha_ | yep | 07:18 |
| buddha_ | but | 07:18 |
| buddha_ | you have to install some application | 07:19 |
| buddha_ | and I don't know what it's called | 07:19 |
| buddha_ | so its possible | 07:19 |
| haux | Hm | 07:19 |
| netdemon | budda:that depends of the aplication | 07:19 |
| buddha_ | yeah but i've seen setups of unity to look like Gnome2 | 07:20 |
| buddha_ | its just that Unity doesn't have any serious configuration tools in vanilla natty. | 07:20 |
| haux | Yeah, I am not liking unity very much right now... | 07:21 |
| haux | Everything is so much more inconvenient.. | 07:21 |
| netdemon | haux:if you want you can run ubuntu classic with compiz and you need to activate the plugin unity of compiz when you run ubuntu classical and that icons will return back at the system tray | 07:21 |
| sd | buddha_: so if you don't have an intel graphics card, like i am using nVidia geforce 7000m laptop graphics card is reason i had to setup for the 3d unity? | 07:21 |
| buddha_ | sd: yep yep. I had to do it for VBox with nvidia-current, tried for Gnome3 on Fedora, gave up after many hours | 07:22 |
| netdemon | i ate gnome 3 i love gnome 2.XX | 07:23 |
| netdemon | hate | 07:23 |
| netdemon | xD | 07:23 |
| sd | k i'll remember that in the next ubuntu install | 07:23 |
| netdemon | well i need to go out....good luck everybody | 07:23 |
| buddha_ | k | 07:23 |
| sd | same here i'm tired night all | 07:24 |
| confezzor | gnome 3 isn't that bad..natty is way worse | 07:24 |
| buddha_ | night | 07:24 |
| Dr_Willis_ | ill stay with lxde for now | 07:24 |
| confezzor | i like gnome 3...but going to stick with gnome 2 for now unit natty and gnome 3 gets in like version 2 or 3 | 07:25 |
| confezzor | yea | 07:25 |
| mecheese | hi. what's the terminal commands to get firefox 5 | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !ff5 | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Firefox 5 is available in Natty/11.04 as an automatic update. If you would like to install it in an earlier release, you will need to use the following !PPA: http://pad.lv/ppa/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ | 07:25 |
| confezzor | i think you can just down load it at the site | 07:25 |
| buddha_ | confezzor: I agree, just trying to get gnome3 with Fedora freedom craziness to work with nvidia is a hassle. | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis_ | use the ppa | 07:26 |
| mecheese | ubottu: I can't use natty because it's messing with my monitor | 07:26 |
| ubottu | mecheese: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:26 |
| confezzor | well i'm not a big Fedora fan..to me Fedora is a baster child of linux..sorry to say buddha...but putting gnome 3 on top of unity works better | 07:26 |
| Delta_ | I installed chromium and want to install a chromium theme from a local file. How do I do that?? | 07:27 |
| thebomb | Hi? | 07:27 |

| Dr_Willis_ | Delta_: drag n drop it into chrome | 07:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | perhaps | 07:27 |
| mecheese | ubottu: I'm only cheese. so you're in good company. | 07:28 |
| ubottu | mecheese: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:28 |

| buddha_ | thebomb: do you have a question or problem? | 07:28 |
| mecheese | can any one give me some terminal commands to install firefox 5 on lucid | 07:29 |
| Dr_Willis_ | the webupd8 site had some info on it mecheese | 07:30 |
| Michael88_ | hello ppl, i have a problem with my ubuntu server :( on boot it's not auto starting the services apache2, webmin etc. i tried rcconf and it's not working | 07:30 |
| confezzor | anybody knows a good tv tuner to use for mythbuntu..trying to use it on one of my laptops..just want to know if anyone knows what hardware should i use? | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | webmin can break things | 07:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !webmin | 07:31 |
| 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. | 07:31 |
| mecheese | Dr_Willis: what webupd8 site? *confused* | 07:31 |
| buddha_ | mecheese: 'sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable' | 07:31 |
| buddha_ | without quotes | 07:31 |
| buddha_ | then | 07:31 |
| Dr_Willis_ | mecheese: eneter the name in a browser | 07:32 |
| confezzor | ppa for firefox 5 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 07:32 |
| haux | buddha_, is dconf-editor the program you were thinking of? | 07:32 |
| Michael88_ | oook, so how do i remove webmin from services autorun? because i cant, what file do i edit with nano or vi? | 07:32 |
| confezzor | yea opps you beat me to the punch | 07:32 |
| buddha_ | mecheese: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 07:32 |
| buddha_ | haux: maybe? sorry I don't use natty | 07:33 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Michael88_: how did you install webmin? | 07:33 |
| Michael88_ | i added to source list and then with apt-get | 07:34 |
| Dr_Willis_ | remove it with aptget then | 07:34 |
| Michael88_ | ok | 07:35 |
| Dr_Willis_ | and hope it did not break too much | 07:35 |
| mecheese | thank you buddha | 07:35 |
| buddha_ | no problem | 07:35 |

| Kingsy | but youtube doesnt play | 08:22 |
| astraljava | madmn: `du -hs <directory>` will tell you how much a directory has eaten, `df -h` will tell you how much space left you got. | 08:23 |

| nickmoeck | Can someone help me understand package version numbers when it comes to PPAs? Let's say the official repos contain software-2.2.1. I create a PPA with a package based on software-2.2.1 (with just a slightly different build configuration). I call it software-2.2.1~ppa1 and I install it from my PPA. What happens if software-2.2.2 gets uploaded into the Ubuntu repos, and I don't make a new package in my PPA? | 08:37 |
| nickmoeck | If I do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, does it install software-2.2.2 or does it leave it at software-2.2.1~ppa1 | 08:38 |

| cutout | can anyone help me please? | 08:39 |
| glda19 | is there a posibilitie to downgrade thunderbird 5.0 to 3.1.10 | 08:40 |
| bazhang | nickmoeck, as szal points out though, the PPA will have the newer version in most cases | 08:40 |
| nickmoeck | bazhang: I'm talking about the edge case, where the PPA doesn't necessarily have the latest version, though. | 08:40 |
| bazhang | glda19, why would you want to, and where did you get tbird 5.0 from | 08:40 |
| cutout | I forced the the latest packages but now when I call a php page it downloads instead of running the script | 08:41 |
| bazhang | nickmoeck, not ever seen that happen, but if so then purge-ppa | 08:41 |
| szal | nickmoeck: in that case my question applies | 08:41 |
| glda19 | bazhang, i have problems with the new ligthning version 1.04b | 08:41 |

| corecode | hi | 08:43 |
| nickmoeck | bazhang / szal: Let's say the PPA maintainer just hasn't gotten around to updating the PPA yet, but I want to keep the package from the PPA. Would I have to use apt-pinning to ensure that the package from the PPA is *always* the installed version? | 08:43 |
| glda19 | bazhang, how can i see that | 08:43 |
| bazhang | glda19, you dont know where you installed a 3rd party install from? | 08:43 |

| nickmoeck | bazhang: Okay, I guess that's the answer I was looking for. The PPA takes precidence, even if the version number in the PPA is lower? | 08:45 |
| bazhang | nickmoeck, the version would not be lower, but yeah | 08:45 |

| corecode | devral: do you have security = share? | 08:58 |

| glda19 | Gryllida, before i found a solution and it works fine | 08:58 |

| glda19 | Gryllida, did you under stand it | 09:01 |
| devral | corecode got it - it was commented out; it is now security = user - does that use linux the system users or separate smb users? (e.g., via smbpasswd?) | 09:01 |
| corecode | devral: no, that's a protocol option | 09:02 |
| corecode | devral: but that was the default | 09:02 |
| corecode | devral: so that's not the issue | 09:03 |

| devral | corecode thanks for the help :) | 09:25 |
| DERMANNNN | barnee: i do not want to change the workspace but it does it | 09:25 |
| barnee | so you have a problem adjusting the workspace manually? | 09:26 |
| DERMANNNN | yes barnee: i think so | 09:26 |
| DERMANNNN | barnee: first i have to say, i only uses one workspace | 09:27 |
| DERMANNNN | i have got 4 but i only use 1 | 09:27 |
| barnee | yes i get that part | 09:27 |
| DERMANNNN | ok | 09:27 |
| DERMANNNN | and if i have a window on the workspace one, i try to maximize it, sometimes it works. it maximizes on workspace 1 | 09:28 |
| barnee | DERMANNNN: but does have you tried shift+ctrl+alt+arrow key? | 09:28 |
| DERMANNNN | yes | 09:28 |
| DERMANNNN | but i dont need it -.- | 09:28 |
| barnee | it helps you solve the prblem | 09:28 |
| DERMANNNN | yes thats true | 09:28 |
| barnee | if it maximises on another workspace, drag it to workspace 1 | 09:28 |
| DERMANNNN | but cant i defened the problem | 09:28 |
| DERMANNNN | because it happens quite every time | 09:29 |

| barnee | as long as i know, if you can just pull the window such that the majority of the window is in the workspace 1, you should have the maximized window in workspace 1 | 09:31 |
| DERMANNNN | yes: barnee: and how to do that ? | 09:31 |
| DERMANNNN | yes: barnee: should i move the window first that the majority is on 1 and then maximize | 09:32 |
| barnee | yes try that. DERMANNNN | 09:32 |
| DERMANNNN | barnee: that works, but it costs a lot of time | 09:32 |
| barnee | to move a window, click and hold on to the titlebar | 09:32 |
| DERMANNNN | ok and then doubble click on the window barnee ? | 09:33 |
| DERMANNNN | to maximize it ? | 09:33 |
| barnee | DERMANNNN: when you do that way, every time you reopen the window, it will stay in workspace 1 | 09:33 |
| DERMANNNN | yes okay and how to maximize windows barnee ? | 09:33 |
| barnee | yes, right clicking on title bar works as well. you can see options to maximize a window. | 09:33 |
| barnee | have you tried snapping the window to the top of the workspace DERMANNNN ? | 09:34 |
| DERMANNNN | barnee: yes that works too | 09:34 |

| Fudge | to zero out sectors first? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | Fudge: no | 09:41 |
| Fudge | i couldnt find it in man dd how to do it | 09:42 |
| coz_ | nodie, tell me when that is finished installing | 09:42 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, still thinking ,, so hold on | 09:42 |
| ikonia | Fudge: what exactly are you trying to do ? | 09:42 |
| DERMANNNN | okay thanks coz_ | 09:42 |
| nodie | coz_, done!, I'm in ccsm | 09:42 |
| coz_ | nodie, ok cool,, now on the left are the categories,, click on the "General" category | 09:43 |
| Fudge | dd the partition but its only 385mb on a 13gig partition, keep it as a base to work with | 09:43 |
| nodie | coz_, ok | 09:43 |
| Fudge | its a netinstall with ssh | 09:43 |
| coz_ | nodie, then click on the OpenGL plugin to get into it's settings | 09:43 |
| ikonia | Fudge: "dd" the partition ???? what exactly are you actually trying to do | 09:43 |
| coz_ | nodie, untick lighting and Sync to VBlank | 09:43 |
| coz_ | nodie, set the Texture Filter to "Best" | 09:43 |
| Fudge | ikonia sorry, i want to back it up so if my project screws the install up i can restore it | 09:44 |
| nodie | coz_, ok | 09:44 |
| coz_ | nodie, ok now test to see if things are still " slow" | 09:44 |
| ikonia | Fudge: that's not the way to backup data | 09:45 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, refresh my memory ,,, video card,,, cpu,, amount of memory | 09:45 |
| nodie | coz_, it's still slow | 09:45 |
| nodie | you know, I prefer to buy a standard videocard | 09:46 |
| nodie | a nvidia or something like that | 09:46 |
| Fudge | ikonia i see no reason why dd if=sda5 of=file.img bs etc and reverse when i want to reclaim the original install | 09:46 |
| nodie | than to have unstable drivers running :p | 09:46 |
| coz_ | nodie, hmm... do you have an nvidia card on that system as well? | 09:46 |
| nodie | no coz_ | 09:46 |
| ikonia | Fudge: then get on with it if you know better | 09:46 |
| nodie | but I can get one | 09:46 |
| Fudge | ikonia im not being cocky, i was just trying to dd using used space and 0 out unused space so the img wouldnt be 13gig | 09:47 |
| coz_ | nodie, I am not particularly up on all of the intel video possible issues,, I have heard of this however,, let me search it to see what I can come up with hold on | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Fudge: you don't use dd to backup data like that | 09:47 |
| Fudge | if you can suggest a better way | 09:47 |
| ikonia | Fudge: just backup the file system - that way it's not a useless block level copy | 09:47 |
| DERMANNNN | coz_ what | 09:47 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, which video card on that system | 09:48 |
| coz_ | nodie, explain to me "slow keyboard" | 09:48 |

| Fudge | what tool do u suggest ikonia , or do you mean tar it? | 09:49 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, t his is a puzzling issue for me,, give me a little more time to think about this,, I cant even reproduce this here,, maxing a window sends it to another viewport ...yes? | 09:49 |
| esmirlin | hey guys i love kde appearance but not its performance so i would like to install oxygen gtk into gnome but i don't find the way on google... can you help me please? | 09:49 |

| coz_ | DERMANNNN, oh!! | 09:50 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, ok that makes sense! | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Fudge: tar would work fine | 09:50 |
| DERMANNNN | ok super | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Fudge: what OS are you currently using ? | 09:50 |
| DERMANNNN | coz: my friend is english he explains that like thos: the majority of the window is in another workspace making that workspace default for the window, meaning when you maximize it, it moves to that workspace | 09:50 |
| coz_ | DERMANNNN, it is going to maximize to the viewport that has the majority of the window exposed on it | 09:50 |
| DERMANNNN | yes | 09:50 |

| dermannnn | depencies problems | 10:32 |
| airtonix | sodoscar1: but you'd want to try : sudo ufw status first | 10:32 |
| sodoscar1 | ikonia: no | 10:32 |
| coz_ | dermannnn, conflicts yes? | 10:32 |
| sodoscar1 | airtonix: thanks trying that now | 10:32 |

| devral | how can i force samba to use the system accounts for authentication, and thus ignoring smbpasswd altogether? | 10:32 |
| dermannnn | yes | 10:32 |
| airtonix | sodoscar1: it might say "disabled" | 10:32 |
| ikonia | sodoscar1: ok, so the problem is your webserver is not running/started | 10:32 |

| dermannnn | ikonia: try 127.0.0.1 | 10:33 |
| airtonix | sodoscar1: yep then note what ikonia said, you'll need to do : sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.logs -f | 10:33 |
| dermannnn | coz_ i did so, everything crashed and i have to re install | 10:33 |
| ikonia | dermannnn: I don't need to | 10:33 |

| rabbit1 | Gryllida: Jensit: nop, its a valid wap key, one of the other system is working, when i ping to server its not pinging | 10:37 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: maybe the router is wrong programmed so that the number of maximum clients is reached.... windows ignores this but ubuntu tries to reconnect all the time | 10:37 |
| sodoscar1 | jpds: yes thankyou.. sorry i wasn't paying attention and just copy/pasted | 10:38 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: but only one ubuntu system is connected.... | 10:38 |
| g33p | airtonix: so can't i do nothing if my hd is USB HDD ? | 10:38 |
| dermannnn | and they dont changes the workspace coz_ | 10:38 |
| thebomb | Graphic_Issue, where u downloading your drivers from ? | 10:38 |
| coz_ | Graphic_Issue, when booting hold down the shift key to get to the grub menu,,, then hit "e" and in the kernel boot line add nomodeset just before quiet splas,, see if that works | 10:38 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: ok then its not that issue ;) | 10:38 |
| coz_ | !nomodeset | Graphic_Issue | 10:38 |
| ubottu | Graphic_Issue: 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 | 10:38 |
| crino | hola? alguien español? | 10:38 |
| dermannnn | and they dont changes the workspace coz_ | 10:38 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: more over we were able to connect 5 - 6 windows and ubuntu at a time before | 10:38 |
| coz_ | dermannnn, mmm | 10:38 |
| dermannnn | coz_ did not annoy that you | 10:39 |
| Graphic_Issue | ok tnx for pointer ill try to do work with this for now. | 10:39 |
| dermannnn | coz_ do you have always the majority on workspace 1 | 10:39 |
| dermannnn | from the windows coz_ | 10:39 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: What can i do if i have to setup my network settings from scratch in ubuntu 9.10. will this help? | 10:39 |
| coz_ | dermannnn, I must not be completely understandint the problem,, I know a window with the majority of it on another view port will only maximize on that other viewport | 10:39 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: hmm you do not have any error messages? | 10:39 |
| dermannnn | coz_ yes and did not that annoy you | 10:40 |
| coz_ | dermannnn, however on dual monitors ,, without Put plugin enabled firefox would open on the secondary monitor | 10:40 |
| crino | hola????? | 10:40 |
| crino | alguien me lee? | 10:40 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: no, no error message, it tries to connect always [connecting icon] and then asks for WAP key all the time.... | 10:40 |

| coz_ | dermannnn, no it doesnt annoy me because I only maximize a window on the viewport I want it on,, not when it is more than half way onto another viewport | 10:40 |
| dermannnn | ah coz_ | 10:41 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: thats a signal for that your router does not accept the ubuntu authentification | 10:41 |
| dermannnn | coz_ do you first move the window to the middle of the workspace | 10:41 |
| dermannnn | coz_ and then maximize it | 10:41 |
| === H4ns is now known as ziekfiguur | ||
| coz_ | dermannnn, so if a terminal is mostly on another viewport,, I drag it over and maximize it | 10:41 |

| fuzzybunny69y | Hey guys! I am still trying to switch over to mac from ubuntu but for some reason Ubuntu ejected my external hardrive in the middle of the copy and now it cannot mount it again. It keeps giving me an error messaging saying "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0).Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output errorNTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault," it then | 10:44 |
| fuzzybunny69y | tells me to run a chkdsk /f from windows but I cannot do that because I removed windows when I installed Ubuntu. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? | 10:44 |
| matiu | wow, ok it's too noisey with Qs :) | 10:44 |
| * matiu retires | 10:44 | |

| rabbit1 | Jensit: i din't get you | 10:48 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: another ubuntu laptop is running fine with the same authentication.... | 10:48 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: that it allways wants you to enter the WPA key might be a signal that the router does not accept your authentification... so i think the problem is the router ;) | 10:49 |
| minimec | dermannnn: With e17 as WindowManager your problem would be gone. With e17 most of the windows open on the screen you want and maximize on the screen you want. Only exception I see right now is Virtualbox, maximaizing only on primary screen. | 10:49 |
| rabbit1 | Jensit: may be, what the solution then ? | 10:49 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: hmm.... ok thats confusing.. | 10:49 |
| minimec | ... and gone he is... | 10:49 |

| rabbit1 | Jensit: infact its closer now.... | 10:51 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: so the router was moved... hmm... maybe it has been reset... check the router settings... because new laptops ignore the issue if the maximum clients are reached but old ones just try to reconnect | 10:53 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: just set the number of clients to... 500 or more and give a try :> | 10:54 |
| Jensit | rabbit1: i couldn't think of annother problem at the moment =/ | 10:55 |

| gulzar | is it possible to use only Windows manager and not the complete DE and still use all graphical software? | 12:05 |

| gulzar | Gryllida: then which Window manager is best? | 12:06 |
| Gryllida | !best | 12:06 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:06 |
| Pici | magpii_: Please use #freenode in the future if you need help finding channels. Otherwise, you may want to check out #ubuntu-offtopic or ##cars | 12:06 |
| herkupus | gulzar: yes, as long as the graphical application does not need a DE specific taskbar or sth | 12:07 |
| Northernen | Where in Ubuntu is the grub configuration file? | 12:07 |
| gulzar | herkupus: Ok. Any example of such application. | 12:07 |
| herkupus | gulzar: since i don't use gnome or kde apps, i cannot tell. btw, i use fluxbox as window manager. | 12:08 |
| Gryllida | Northernen, /boot/grub/grub.cfg [1] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 12:08 |
| herkupus | gulzar: but i guess the majority of gnome/kde apps will just work fine with any window manager. | 12:09 |
| Northernen | Gryllida, thank you. | 12:09 |
| gulzar | herkupus: Ok. Actaully I want to set up such thing on my pendrive to make it portable and use as data recovery and other smallet things where I want Linux..... :) | 12:09 |

| mjanp | thx Gryllida & ubottu :-) | 12:15 |
| Gryllida | ubottu is a bot whom I triggered. | 12:16 |
| ubottu | Gryllida: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:16 |
| Pici | Trond--: Are you having an issue, or are you just curious? | 12:16 |
| Gryllida | ... | 12:16 |
| Trond-- | Pici, I'm asking because I just recently went from Windows to Ubuntu. In Windows I had a few thousand files only. | 12:16 |
| Myrtti | Trond--: in Linux even devices are shown as 'files' | 12:17 |
| Myrtti | Trond--: in addition all settings, configurations and such are also in a file | 12:18 |
| SwedeMike | Trond--: my windows xp c:\windows dir contains 13k files. | 12:18 |
| Pici | Myrtti: bluh. thanks ;) | 12:18 |
| Trond-- | Myrtti, That doesn't say me anything why there are so many files | 12:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myrtti, infact, everything on gnu/linux is a file ;) | 12:19 |
| airtonix | Trond--: becuase there is. | 12:19 |
| Trond-- | airtonix, Well so everything is ok then at least even though I don't understand it | 12:19 |
| Pici | Trond--: On my server, /proc/ alone contains 26716 files. /proc/ isn't a real filesystem, it is an interface to the kernel. You might want to check out the 'hier' manpage, as well as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 12:20 |
| airtonix | Trond--: indeed this is one of those things you must accept for now, and learn why later on when you have the foundation knowledge to support your further research | 12:20 |
| airtonix | Trond--: just take stock in the knowledge that critical comparisons between windows and and linux on a level this fine will do you now good in your transition | 12:21 |

| mathAgentine | can anybody help me? | 12:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | mathAgentine, you might want to check out "checkinstall" for a basic package packing wrapper - it creates DEBs from source code | 12:32 |
| Pici | mathAgentine: Or if you have the debs already, just copy them to the other computers. | 12:32 |

| pgold36 | goes to the screen where i need to enter my password to get back | 12:34 |
| astraljava | pgold36: Happened to me a couple of times. What happens if you log back in, and try again? | 12:34 |
| mathAgentine | yes but is sems that i've missing dependencies I nedd at least to know how to find out the dependences of a certain .deb before installing | 12:34 |
| pgold36 | I have tried many many times | 12:34 |
| pgold36 | same thing every time | 12:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Does power management work with WUBI installs? Re pgold36's question. | 12:35 |

| Osmodivs | Hello. I have a DualBoot, I have Ubuntu 11-04 64bits, I installed nVidia's propietary driver 270.41.19 in Ubuntu, and I want to install the most recent nVidia's driver to Windows XP 32Bits since I can't find the same one as Linux. Is it possible that the 2 different divers work in the same system | 12:37 |
| astraljava | ZykoticK9: The last words were "...and now have a dual boot." But a good question, pgold36: Is it a genuine dual boot, as in when you boot up your laptop, you choose in grub to which OS you wanna go? | 12:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | mathAgentine, to find the dependencies of a particular package you could use "apt-cache rdepends foo" to get a list | 12:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | astraljava, "I am using ubuntu 11.04 that I installed through windows 7" | 12:37 |
| coz_ | or sudo apt-get build-dep nameofpackage | 12:37 |
| amith_ | @Oli | 12:38 |
| pgold36 | when I boot I get a choice of win 7 and ubuntu. Then I get grub and I can choose win7 or ubuntu there too | 12:38 |
| LAvalanche | Osmodivs: the two systems are completly seperated. | 12:38 |
| mathAgentine | Zykotic9 can i do this with installed program? | 12:38 |
| amith_ | whats up in this room? | 12:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | mathAgentine, sure... | 12:39 |
| LAvalanche | Osmodivs: ubuntu doesn't care which driver you use in windows (and the other way around) | 12:39 |
| mathAgentine | yes | 12:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | mathAgentine, i mean copying the debs from cache or using "apt-cache rdepends..." - the checkinstall wouldn't apply to already installed packages | 12:40 |

| Autoclesis | upgrading, rather | 12:42 |

| mathAgentine | zykotic9 i can do anything you tell me | 12:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Autoclesis, with ubuntu, fresh install is almost always "smoother" then upgrading | 12:42 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: and it's way faster | 12:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | !tab > mathAgentine | 12:43 |
| c933103 | Excuse me is the Ubuntu mobile still developing? and where can i find Ubuntu for ARM CPU? And would there be gubuntu with gnome like kubuntu with KDE ? | 12:43 |
| Autoclesis | But I could skip the USB creation process | 12:43 |
| coz_ | rocky1, mm not sure about that,,, i am betting there is let me check | 12:43 |
| Autoclesis | thanks ZykoticK9 , LAvalanche | 12:43 |
| rocky1 | coz_: shotwell (default photo app) only seems to have a export/publish function | 12:43 |
| Autoclesis | I am just worried about the USB creation process | 12:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | c933103, there is no gubuntu - gnome (classic) comes with 11.04 BTW | 12:44 |
| coz_ | rocky1, what about ubuntu1 | 12:44 |
| Autoclesis | Do you need USB universal installer if you make USB from ubuntu? | 12:44 |
| rocky1 | coz_: ubuntu+1 you mean? | 12:44 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: creating a usb disk is much faster then upgrading your whole system | 12:44 |
| coz_ | rocky1, yes or flickrsync | 12:44 |
| rocky1 | hm | 12:44 |
| coz_ | rocky1, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/synchronize-photos-between-local.html | 12:45 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: ubuntu has an usb disk creater preinstalled -> just download the iso and create the startup disk | 12:45 |
| amith_ | rnvs? | 12:45 |
| Autoclesis | LAvalanche, that's what I thought! | 12:45 |
| Autoclesis | But i watched a misleading video | 12:45 |
| Pici | amith_: Was that a question? | 12:45 |
| coz_ | rocky1, there are most likely several applications that can do this,, I just googled with this string,,, ubuntu sync photos to flickr | 12:46 |
| rocky1 | right, i've been googling last 10min as well and played around with some tools | 12:46 |
| coz_ | rocky1, a search like that should bring up several options not necessary to use "flickr" as the key work | 12:46 |
| rocky1 | yeah picasa integration is actually most valuable to me... | 12:46 |
| Autoclesis | Not to sound stupid, but, download iso, transfer to drive, put drive in laptop, then turn on laptop and follow install instruction ? | 12:47 |
| rocky1 | anyone know if gnome conduit is still moving along? seems to have stagnated | 12:47 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: pretty much - but you can also just boot into ubuntu from the drive to test it befor you install it | 12:47 |
| coz_ | rocky1, is that now named gnome-pilot-confuit ?? | 12:48 |
| coz_ | conduit | 12:48 |
| rocky1 | coz_: http://live.gnome.org/Conduit/ | 12:48 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: just make sure your pc boots from the flash drive | 12:48 |
| Pici | coz_: That would likely be the conduit endpoint for pilot (palm). | 12:48 |
| compdoc | Autoclesis, the iso file on your drive wont do much just sitting there | 12:48 |
| coz_ | Pici, yeah just realized that after typing it :( | 12:48 |
| Autoclesis | OH, but I meant, using the pre-existing installer just mentioned | 12:49 |
| Autoclesis | So the thing called "USB univeral installer" is not necessary if i have ubuntu 11.04 already? | 12:49 |
| glda19 | ho use cairo dock | 12:49 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: hehe - ok - from the start. you can boot into an existing ubuntu - do you have one? | 12:50 |
| compdoc | the thing is, the installer is going to want to format the drive and create partitions | 12:50 |
| Osmodivs | Hello. I have a DualBoot, I have Ubuntu 11-04 64bits, I installed nVidia's propietary driver 270.41.19 in Ubuntu, and I want to install the most recent nVidia's driver to Windows XP 32Bits since I can't find the same one as Linux. Is it possible that the 2 different divers work in the same system | 12:50 |
| coz_ | rocky1, in the repository I think it is named just "conduit" i could be wrong | 12:50 |
| Autoclesis | I have ubuntu on desktop. I want to put ubuntu on a laptop. | 12:50 |
| Pici | Osmodivs: Yes. | 12:50 |
| Autoclesis | I am sorry for being stupid | 12:50 |
| LAvalanche | Osmodivs: ubuntu doesn't care which driver you use in windows (and the other way around) | 12:50 |
| ChesterX | hi, i finally decided to upgrade to ubuntu 11.04 (desktop). I would like to know though how you can switch off one of its very annoying features, namely the one that maximizes all the windows when you dock them to one of the screen borders | 12:51 |
| rocky1 | coz_: irregardless... the deb's at their ppa are from 2009 so :( | 12:51 |
| Autoclesis | I have old ubuntu disk | 12:51 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: no problem. you have to download the new iso on your ubuntu pc | 12:51 |
| coz_ | rocky1, see if "conduit" is related to gnome-conduit | 12:51 |
| ChesterX | autoclesis which version is on it? | 12:51 |
| Autoclesis | okay, I am going to try it. Thank you, LAvalanche | 12:51 |
| Autoclesis | I think the disk is 9 something | 12:51 |
| Autoclesis | So I am willing to try the USB method | 12:52 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: then connect your flash drive to the ubuntu pc. startup the usb creation prog from ubuntu | 12:52 |
| Autoclesis | Right, LAvalanche | 12:52 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: after that just use the drive with your laptop | 12:52 |
| Autoclesis | I want to install it fully | 12:52 |
| Autoclesis | I don't want windows | 12:52 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: just follow the instructions. ther is an option for that | 12:53 |
| Autoclesis | Okay, thanks for the confirmation. | 12:53 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: one thing. your data on the falsh drive will be deleted | 12:53 |

| Autoclesis | How about that for compatability? | 12:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | Autoclesis, one heads up regarding USB installs - be SURE that Grub gets installed to the correct drive (this might have to be chosen manually) | 12:54 |
| Autoclesis | uh oh | 12:54 |
| Autoclesis | Okay, now I am logging this chat | 12:54 |
| Autoclesis | lol | 12:54 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: just ask if you have questions durring the process | 12:54 |
| Autoclesis | Excellent idea | 12:54 |
| === H4ns is now known as ziekfiguur | ||
| Autoclesis | So the Lenovo Ideapad is compatibile? | 12:55 |
| Autoclesis | Someone said the microphone driver was the only trouble | 12:55 |
| LAvalanche | Autoclesis: you can always just try ubuntu before installing it with the flash drive - just test it | 12:56 |
| Autoclesis | Right. | 12:56 |
| Autoclesis | I want to demonstrate to some iPad people I can have more functionality at the same price | 12:56 |

| drdozer1 | hi - I've got a problem with jdb2/sda1-8 getting to 95% IO when writing to a table with mysql | 12:59 |
| Osmodivs | thx, Pici , LAvalanche . | 12:59 |
| ChesterX | how can i switch off the window maximization (when i dock them to one of the borders) | 12:59 |
| drdozer1 | it seems like jdb2/sda1-8 is stopping mysql writing to disk faster than about 1/2 M/s - does this sound possible? | 13:00 |
| pentarex1 | can anyone tell me how can I install different kernel to 64 bit server 10.04 | 13:04 |
| dyd | guys, if i create a pdf from a webpage it asks for a password as i try to open the file... but i didnt set any. i'm using opera. | 13:08 |
| astraljava | pgold36: Can't find anything real solid. Perhaps try this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/pm-utils/+bug/475087 Just don't blindly remove, backup first. (the file mentioned in the workaround, I mean) | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 475087 in pm-utils "Suspend and Hibernate options merely lock screen." [Undecided,Invalid] | 13:09 |
| pgold36 | Thanks! | 13:09 |
| cptklotz | Hi everybody | 13:09 |
| dyd | ok probably the pdf is damaged the reader thinks it has a pwd | 13:11 |
| rocky1 | does anyone know if it's possible... in Shotwell... to have it re-organize all of the photos in it's library on disk such that it maches the layout of the "Importing Pattern" pattern? | 13:11 |
| cptklotz | I've been using (X)Ubuntu for some weeks now and I *really* like it | 13:12 |
| chaddy | good stuff | 13:13 |
| cptklotz | I think I could use some pointers for configuring the login screen | 13:14 |
| pgold36 | astraljava: Thanks but that file does not exist in my system as it did not for others who commented there. I just posted my own question so i will wait to see what I get. | 13:15 |
| mathAgentine | ZykoticK9: I've using what you've told and I can pass the /var/cache/apt/archives DEBs ¿What are those files? | 13:15 |
| mathAgentine | i've tried to use the rdepends command bot despite i use the corect path file (I've double check it) i get "the package can't be found" message. | 13:15 |
| chaddy | cptklotz: would you like to do without the login screen, or just change the artwork/layout? | 13:15 |
| Autoclesis | I don't understand why Lenovo wouldn't offer to sell a Thinkpad with Ubuntu preinstalled | 13:15 |
| Autoclesis | I just asked them | 13:15 |
| rinkukokiri | can anyone explain why youtube causes my junk to freeze? | 13:16 |

| Devil_Pumbba | hi ubuntusers | 13:17 |
| cptklotz | chaddy: I'd like to be able to choose a window manager more easily | 13:17 |
| drdozer1 | I've had a google, and can't find anything useful about problems with jdb2/sda1-8 hogging all the IO | 13:17 |
| cptklotz | I'm running xubuntu 11.04 and I've added some other desktops (Unity 3D and 2D, Gnome) | 13:17 |
| cptklotz | But the login screen doesn't display a choice of session types by default | 13:17 |
| cptklotz | I can misspell my user name and then I'll get to choose the session type among other stuff | 13:18 |
| Fleck | i use kdm :) | 13:18 |
| Fleck | theres a nice menu | 13:18 |
| chaddy | which *dm are you using? | 13:18 |
| chaddy | probably xdm? | 13:18 |
| cptklotz | I think that should be the GDM one | 13:18 |
| chaddy | try gdm or kdm or xdm, don't know of any others offhand | 13:18 |
| mathAgentine | ZykoticK9: are you there? | 13:19 |
| Autoclesis | best laptops for ubuntu are lenovos and acers? | 13:19 |
| cptklotz | I tried editing the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm, but I'm not sure I can make it always display a list of session types | 13:20 |
| wvd | So, I have problems with a Tascam US-144mk2 device. After reading some tutorials it's clear that it's needed to disable ehci_hcd. Only problem is that we don't have the ehci_hcd module in our kernel - what's the best way out? | 13:20 |
| astraljava | pgold36: Right, yeah sorry I couldn't be of further assistance. You could also file a bug about it, but search for other existing ones first, so as to not pollute the database with duplicates. | 13:21 |
| chaddy | lxdm, too, apparently | 13:21 |
| Loqus | Does anyone know about VLAN, dhclient and ping interactions? | 13:21 |
| mathAgentine | what kind of files are the ones in /var/cache/apt/archives DEBs ? | 13:22 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: they're software packages | 13:23 |
| bobbyd | Loqus: state your problem | 13:23 |
| om4rezz | netmind: | 13:24 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: does that help? | 13:25 |
| Loqus | 5 port VLAN switch. 1 going to PC, 4 going to 4 ISPs. Each of the 4 ISP ports is mapped to a VID of 11, 12, 13 and 14; with corresponding VLAN interfaces on my PC. | 13:25 |
| mathAgentine | jcgs: those belongs to an already installed software or before installation pacages? | 13:25 |
| mathAgentine | jcgs: yas but I'm a bit slow :( | 13:25 |
| Loqus | I run dhclient on eth0.11 (1st port), and I get an IP / connection to Internet and can ping www.google.com. | 13:26 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: no worries :) they're the ones that the package manager downloaded while it was installing software | 13:26 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: does that help? | 13:27 |
| Loqus | I then run dhclient on eth0.12 and again, I now get IP etc on eth0.12... but using ping -I eth0.11 I should be able to still ping www.google.com... but I can't. TCP dum p shows the pings going out and being rrturned on the interface for eth0.11, but ping doesn't render them. | 13:27 |
| Loqus | Why does ping not render them? | 13:27 |
| mathAgentine | jcgs: I'm tryng to figure out a way to pass installed software to anothe identical machine | 13:27 |
| mathAgentine | jcgs: yes it helps | 13:27 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: what do you mean? like make a disk image and install that? | 13:27 |
| Loqus | ..I can go on to run dhclient on any interface out of the 4 VLANs, and each time I get a connection, but lose the ability to ping on all the others. | 13:28 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine:or just install exactly the same software, without having to download it fomr the internet | 13:28 |
| Loqus | ...although I can see the pings going out and being echod in TCPdump | 13:28 |
| mathAgentine | no, I need separate softwares | 13:28 |
| mathAgentine | is to use with mi students and they don't have internet acces | 13:29 |
| dw- | should i use wine 1.2 or 1.3 for Steam/Tf2 | 13:29 |
| mathAgentine | I need to pass the programs I nedd to work in class with them | 13:30 |
| jcgs | can't you tell them to install them before they come to the class? | 13:30 |
| Loqus | BobbyD apologies if that's not particularily descriptive, but it's a complex setup :) | 13:30 |
| mathAgentine | jcgs: it semd that I haven't the repends commad ¿can it be? | 13:31 |

| jcgs | mathAgentine: if you don't mind me saying so, this seems a really bizzare way of dealing with this, since the whole system is really designed to be backed by internet repositories, to which the system on which the software being installed is supposed to have access | 13:36 |
| jcgs | mathAgentine: if you wanted you could burn a disk with all the dependencies you think they're unlikely to already have access to, but that would be very inefficient | 13:37 |

| jamesiarmes_ | I have a customer who notified us this morning that they could not access their we application. When I logged into the server I found considerably more apache processes than usual, but it still should not have been enough to bring down the server. I stopped apahce and found that there were still 114 processes in uninteruptable sleep, some of which started on Sunday. I killed the processes and started apache and they can access their application now. | 13:46 |
| jamesiarmes_ | Looking through the logs, I found that I have been getting the following error since about the time many of those processes started: "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery". I am still getting the error now but I can't determine what it means. Above all of those errores is starts with: | 13:46 |

| jcgs | rah: there is an upgrade manager, which might make things a bit easier, because it advises of incompatibilities | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | Loqus, VLAN interfaces? | 13:53 |
| WilsonJr | peoples, i need practice english, anybody any channel for this? | 13:53 |

| balou | Hi. I haven't managed to get grub to load my windows 7 that is currently installed on my second harddrive. I have looked at some google results that seemed promising and the Ubuntu community Grub2 page, but still haven't found a way to do it correctly. http://pastebin.com/NHd8nYnm is the output from the boot script tool. I would really appreciate if someone could advise. | 13:54 |
| Voziv | Hello, is there a feature matrix to compare the server editions? I'm leaning towards 10.04 because of the long term support, but I wanted to know what the big differences are in terms of features | 13:55 |
| bryan_ | sorry i got this page but cant manage | 13:55 |
| thiebaude | dimas, im not sure about users, because i have always been 1 user on buntu machine | 13:55 |
| dimas | lol | 13:55 |
| varunthacker | Silly question but how do you open this man page on the command line : http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/open.2.html | 13:55 |
| mathAgentine | Pici I went to the site you recomended but I couldn't found the package I searched: kbruch | 13:55 |
| dimas | oke | 13:55 |
| thiebaude | i dont know too much about that, sorry | 13:55 |
| thiebaude | :) | 13:55 |
| varunthacker | man open returns a different man page | 13:56 |
| jcgs | WilsonJr: how about #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 13:56 |
| Pici | mathAgentine: Works for me: http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/?repo=Lucid&arch=i386&package=kbruch&have=ubuntu-desktop | 13:56 |
| thiebaude | or an ubuntu help cahnnel in his or her language | 13:56 |
| dimas | Voziv..upgrade..is a free platform so stroggle a little and help find out about the few bugs | 13:57 |
| balou | Sorry, I forgot to say, the errors I am getting are: "error: no such devices: IE58E26258E237E3" and "errors: no such partition" | 13:57 |
| Pici | mathAgentine: Thats i386 on Lucid, and I suspect you already have a base ubuntu-desktop installed. | 13:57 |
| rah | jcgs: the update-manager apparently isn't capable of upgrading from jaunty | 13:58 |
| WilsonJr | thiebaude english | 13:58 |
| thiebaude | ok thanks wil | 13:58 |
| Voziv | dimas: What are the differences? This is a fresh install and not an upgrade | 13:58 |
| Pici | WilsonJr: ##english | 13:58 |
| thiebaude | WilsonJr: ubuntu-offtopic as was suggested earlier :) | 13:58 |
| thiebaude | if its offtopic that is | 13:59 |
| dimas | Vorziv one is newer than the other | 13:59 |
| bryan_ | thx phux for help i leave now | 13:59 |
| Voziv | >.> | 13:59 |
| jcgs | rah: no idea why that is. happy upgrading anyway :) | 13:59 |
| WilsonJr | ok ok, thanks for all! i try it | 13:59 |
| MAREK_BENC_NetB | I got banned from Offtopic :D!!! XDXD | 14:00 |
| jcgs | Voziv: the names are for different versions, they're in alphabetical order. lucid lynx is long term support which means that bugs will go on being fixed in it for 4-6 years (i think) rather than 1year for other versions, but people can upgrade to newer versions as and when they become available, because it's free. however, newer versions which have more features are often somewhat less reliable, so it's a trade off | 14:03 |
| mathAgentine | Pici I've visited the site you told me (http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/) is seems to me that I need the meta packages of the programs ¿The metapackages contains all the possibly dependences of a program? | 14:03 |
| iceroot | what is the common way if using raid 1 for encryption? encrypt sda and sdb and then build a raid from them or build a raid and encrypt md? | 14:04 |
| jcgs | Voziv: the newest released version is maverick meerkat, which will be superseeded by natty narwhal in septermbet | 14:04 |
| Pici | mathAgentine: you need to enter the name of the meta package that you already have installed. i.e: ubuntu-desktop if you are running Ubuntu, or kubuntu-desktop if you are running Kubuntu. | 14:04 |
| Pici | jcgs: Natty Narwhal was relased in april. | 14:04 |
| mathAgentine | Pici: thanks | 14:04 |
| Pici | jcgs: Release numbers are the YEAR.MONTH of release. | 14:05 |
| jcgs | Pici: oops shited by one :S | 14:06 |
| jcgs | *shifted | 14:06 |
| Voziv | Thanks jcgs, but I was looking at features, I got my answer on ubutu server though | 14:06 |
| jcgs | Voziv: glad to hear it, obviously, in general newer -> more features | 14:07 |
| mathAgentine | Pici: what is a base deskstop? | 14:07 |
| jamesiarmes_ | I have a customer who notified us this morning that they could not access their we application. When I logged into the server I found considerably more apache processes than usual, but it still should not have been enough to bring down the server. I stopped apahce and found that there were still 114 processes in uninteruptable sleep, some of which started on Sunday. I killed the processes and started apache and they can access their application now. | 14:07 |
| jamesiarmes_ | Looking through the logs, I found that I have been getting the following error since about the time many of those processes started: "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery". I am still getting the error now but I can't determine what it means. Above all of those errores is starts with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/638439/ | 14:07 |
| soziety | hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | Loqus, I'm afraid your description sounds like advanced IT lingo which most ppl here haven't encountered before ...example : VLAN=Very Large Area Network ? | 14:08 |
| jcgs | BluesKaj VLAN= virtual local area network | 14:09 |
| Pici | mathAgentine: ubuntu-desktop in most cases. | 14:09 |
| mathAgentine | Pici: thanks for the explanation | 14:09 |
| mathAgentine | kbruch_4.4.2-0ubuntu2 | 14:09 |
| BluesKaj | jcgs, thanks :) | 14:09 |
| mathAgentine | Pici: sorry I've downloades kbruch_4.4.2-0ubuntu2_i386 | 14:09 |
| jcgs | jamiesarmies_: do you have any idea what page 53 is? | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | virtual sounds even more difficult | 14:10 |
| jcgs | Loqus: are you sure this is definitely a problem at the computer end, not with the router? can you get access to the router's settings? | 14:11 |
| mathAgentine | but wen i've tryng to install it , the libkdecore (>=4:4,5) missing | 14:11 |
| jamesiarmes_ | jcgs: no idea. Most of what I find on google deals with LDAP and BDB but we don't use either | 14:11 |
| jcgs | jamiesarmies_: can you post the full log without compromising privacy? | 14:11 |
| Northernen | Is there any way to troubleshoot which processes are claiming more and more memory? | 14:11 |
| jcgs | Northernen other than killing them? | 14:12 |
| Northernen | jcgs, memory usage just keeps on rising, even though I'm not starting any new processes, and I don't know why. | 14:12 |

| Northernen | dr_willis, pardon? | 14:13 |
| jamesiarmes_ | jcgs: that's all that's in the log, it just keeps repeating the "PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery" line, thousands of times. There are a few GnuTLS errors above, which I pasted at http://paste.ubuntu.com/638441/ | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | !ram | 14:14 |
| ubottu | If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 14:14 |
| Northernen | Should the disk really cache so much that the system is forced to use swap? | 14:15 |
| mbt | No, the kernel should shrink the cache as memory pressure from applications increases... | 14:15 |
| balou | I think I found my problem. The first time I tried to install ubuntu on my secondary drive it installed grub into the primary drives MBR (where windows 7 lives). Then when I tried to do it all again, I swapped my secondary and primary drives, so that I was now installing ubuntu onto my primary. After this ubuntu would load fine, and the boot loader would also display Windows as an option. Trying to go into windows, however, failed | 14:16 |
| Northernen | Now I feel silly... Thanks for help. | 14:16 |
| rhin01 | anyone aware of a problem with vinagre (remote desktop) not updating screen (essentially not working) on client | 14:17 |
| balou | I am now thinking this is because my intial attempt left some grub stuff on the windows harddrive MBR, so when windows tries to start it's MBR isn't quite right? | 14:17 |
| balou | is there a way for me to do bootrec from ubuntu to fix my windows MBR that is currently on my secondary harddrive where windows is installed? | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | the mbr is only a little bit. If the system boots - then the mbr has done its kob.. | 14:18 |
| balou | dr_willis:But the system doesn't boot into windows. | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | if you want to fix the mbr. you should use a windows rescue cd. and fix it. | 14:18 |
| balou | it only boots into ubunt | 14:18 |
| balou | I don't have a windows rescue cd | 14:19 |
| jcgs | jamiesarmies_: are you sure that something connected to apache isn't using berkely db? or something related to it? | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | MS has them you can download i recall... | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | minimal rescue cd images | 14:19 |
| balou | i'll try to find one | 14:19 |
| Northernen | balou, are you able to see the grub menu at all? | 14:19 |
| dr_willis | its possible its not grub related but some windows issue. or it may be you some how removed some files/boot partition that windows was using. | 14:20 |
| dr_willis | Or the grub entry is just incorrect and booting the wrong partition | 14:20 |
| soziety | hello, I am in xubuntu 10.04, when I connect to my vpn don't alert with popup (vpn conection stablished) I'd like add a code with this function in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d any idea (sorry my english) | 14:20 |
| lapaga | balou, when you say you then switched drives and installed to the windows drive did you use the whole disk? | 14:20 |
| balou | Northernen: Yes I see the menu with all the options I want on it. And I can successfully log into ubuntu. It's just when I try to go to windows, that i get those errors | 14:20 |
| jcgs | sorry chaps! have to tidy my room >.< | 14:21 |
| balou | lapaga: I switched the drives, so that the new primary did not have windows on it. I installed ubuntu there. So the only thing that could have changed from my secondary (where windows is installed) is the MBR from my first failed attemp to install ubuntu. In my first attempt I was trying to install ubuntu to the secondary drive, which worked, but I think grub was put onto the windows drive because it was the primary at the time. | 14:22 |
| jamesiarmes_ | jcgs: how could I tell that? I don't have mod_bdb enabled | 14:22 |

| edbian | glda19: Can you elaborate? What specifically are you doing that isn't working? | 14:37 |

| Marticus | good morning | 14:38 |
| edbian | glda19: You can add those icons to the panel you do have. It's called main menu | 14:38 |
| AFD | edbian thanks for the help... I'd have been scratching my head till I was bald without it ;) | 14:39 |
| edbian | AFD: GDM is just the graphical login scren | 14:39 |
| edbian | AFD :) | 14:39 |
| AFD | edbian ciao for now | 14:39 |
| glda19 | edian i hav no panel | 14:39 |
| edbian | glda19: I'm not sure why adding cairo dock would remove a panel, you could stop using cairo | 14:39 |
| edbian | glda19: no panels at all? | 14:39 |
| Marticus | in the latest version, there is a mac-like button bar on the left. What is it called so that I may find out how to configure it? | 14:39 |
| glda19 | yes no panels at all | 14:39 |

| corrytonapple | I am running Ubuntu 11.04 with GNOME 2. I have a dark panel, and the dark font is hard to read. How do I make the font white? | 14:41 |
| perlsyntax | i try that did work | 14:41 |
| perlsyntax | Would this matter if my wireless card blue light now on | 14:41 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: type gnome in the search and click on appearance | 14:42 |
| edbian | perlsyntax: sudo modprobe b43 (or restart the machine) | 14:42 |
| Pici | corrytonapple: System>Preferences>Appearance, font either has its own tab, or its under the themes tab. | 14:42 |
| edbian | perlsyntax: The light doesn't concern me either way | 14:42 |
| perlsyntax | what you mean edbian | 14:42 |
| Marticus | so what provides the new silly os-x-esque button bar so that I can customize it? | 14:43 |
| edbian | perlsyntax: run sudo modprobe b43 (to turn the driver on) or restart the machine. What is confusing you? | 14:43 |
| corrytonapple | Pici: How would I go about changing the color of the font though? | 14:43 |
| glda19 | ebian no there is no gnome-panel process | 14:43 |
| perlsyntax | sorry i ask then | 14:43 |
| edbian | glda19: then run gnome-panel in a terminal to turn them back on. It might kill cairo-dock | 14:43 |
| edbian | perlsyntax: ? | 14:43 |
| Pici | corrytonapple: Its either in there, or you may be able to affect the color by using the color settings inside the theme preferences. | 14:43 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: choose the theme and click customize | 14:44 |
| Pici | corrytonapple: I don't have a graphical desktop in front of my to check where exactly the settings are. | 14:44 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: while you' | 14:44 |
| corrytonapple | The Text is set to white everywhere | 14:44 |
| corrytonapple | System-Wide | 14:44 |
| Marticus | while you're there, look at the other config options so you know what is available in case you want to change more, without needing to ask | 14:44 |
| perlsyntax | i did that i see no wireless. | 14:44 |
| edbian | perlsyntax: Do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder with stuff in it? | 14:45 |
| glda19 | edbian, thy are back | 14:45 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: create a new user, login with that user, see if it still happens | 14:45 |
| edbian | glda19: fixed? | 14:45 |
| edbian | :) | 14:45 |
| Marticus | if it doesn't then wipe your gnome config dirs | 14:45 |
| corrytonapple | Marticus: Trust me, I have looked through there. I am quite experienced with this. But, the top panel will not have it go white | 14:45 |
| glda19 | edbian yes | 14:45 |
| edbian | glda19: Glad I could help :) | 14:45 |
| corrytonapple | Marticus: ok | 14:46 |

| edbian | brainwave92: aptitude show packageName | 14:46 |
| glda19 | edbian how can i test it that the gnome-panels are working with out reboot | 14:46 |
| brainwave92 | will it give information about the package? | 14:47 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: backup the dirs first :) | 14:47 |
| edbian | glda19: Are they working now? I'm confused what you're asking | 14:47 |
| corrytonapple | Marticus: Where are they? | 14:47 |
| edbian | brainwave92: yeah | 14:47 |
| sako | hey guys so i have a dual boot with ubuntu and archlinux at work, anyone able to get it working using grub via archlinux install? | 14:48 |
| brainwave92 | What is the easiest way to backup files in linux? | 14:48 |
| sako | i'd rather use 0.9.7 that comes with arch, the newer grub sucks :/ | 14:48 |
| brainwave92 | sako, newer grub as in grub2? | 14:48 |
| glda19 | edbian where can i set how is automaticly loged in | 14:48 |
| sako | brainwave92: ya | 14:48 |
| edbian | glda19: I'm not sure. I would just reboot and see what starts. I'm guessing it'll start whatever was running when you logged out last. | 14:49 |
| Marticus | good lord, the launcher config options are pathetic, only one setting to control the activation hotspot, surely there are more options somewhere? | 14:49 |
| sako | brainwave92: though i suspect its ubuntu being dumb, having all sorts of issues with plymouth and resolutions during boot | 14:49 |
| Marticus | corrytonapple: dunno, I think look for .gnome* | 14:49 |
| corrytonapple | Would they be in home? | 14:49 |
| brainwave92 | sako, (life's simple..!) whats the exact issue????? | 14:50 |
| joeyJoel_ | Hi, can I get some help w/ubuntu | 14:50 |
| corrytonapple | !help | joeyJoel_ | 14:50 |
| ubottu | joeyJoel_: 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. :-) | 14:50 |
| joeyJoel_ | Sorry, my first time here | 14:51 |
| joeyJoel_ | Hi, I have a MAC G4, single 125 gig processor, dual mirror door, that went bad. I downloaded ubuntu, burned it to a cd, but it does not boot, or run... I like help in 1`, getting it to be correct in format, and 2, installing it on my mac | 14:51 |
| brainwave92 | joeyJoel_, what is a dual mirror door? | 14:51 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Its fine. Anyway, how did it go bad? | 14:52 |
| corrytonapple | brainwave92: It is a type of PowerMac | 14:52 |
| joeyJoel_ | It is a MAC that they called superdrive, it had an optical reader, and seperate burner | 14:52 |
| corrytonapple | Its the one I want to get. We had some old G3s, but anyway.... | 14:52 |
| joeyJoel_ | It's a very good machine | 14:53 |
| brainwave92 | aint a mac user...we dont see them around here much.... | 14:53 |
| Galaxor | Hi. I just got 11.04 and I'm using the default "ambiance" theme. In gnome-terminal, in the tabbox, there is not enough contrast between the active tab and the inactive tabs. How do I change those colors (subtly)? | 14:53 |
| corrytonapple | I will try to get one soon..... | 14:53 |
| joeyJoel_ | the reading i did, say the mac is the eaiest to convert | 14:53 |
| === glenn_ is now known as glda19 | ||
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: I did not know that. I though Acer laptops were pretty easy to convert | 14:54 |
| corrytonapple | I would bet Ubuntu runs great on it. | 14:54 |
| joeyJoel_ | MAC is either unix or lynix based | 14:54 |
| joeyJoel_ | I can boot beneath the os, and go entirely with command lines | 14:55 |
| corrytonapple | But, first we must get it to work. Yes, OS X is Unix based | 14:55 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: You mean like you are willing to, or that is what you are getting? | 14:55 |
| joeyJoel_ | ? | 14:55 |
| corrytonapple | You said "I can boot beneath the os, and go entirely with command lines" | 14:56 |
| reseph_ | Hi all. I'm attempting to launch Ubuntu on LiveCD and it's throwing me into initramfs. Why? | 14:56 |
| dev00p | hello | 14:57 |
| edbian | reseph_: Because something is wrong. Perhaps it's a bad CD. Do you see any errors about I/O error on sr0 ? | 14:57 |
| joeyJoel_ | i'll rephrase - the machine can now boot. I can boot it into the single user mode,unix, or the windows ox. I want to change the os to ubuntu. I already downloaded the ubuntu os, I just nerred to install | 14:57 |
| reseph_ | edbian: I'm seeing things like "target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init" | 14:57 |
| joeyJoel_ | sorry my typing sucks | 14:57 |
| dev00p | uhmm, does someone knows whats going on with playdeb | 14:57 |
| dev00p | im just getting blank page | 14:58 |
| ikonia | dev00p: they have their own support resources | 14:58 |
| edbian | reseph_: The target filesystem is the CD. It's incomplete. I think you have a bad burn or a bad image. | 14:58 |
| edbian | reseph_: for the record USB sticks are more reliable | 14:58 |
| reseph_ | I'm actually using a 4GB USB | 14:58 |
| === glenn_ is now known as glda19 | ||
| edbian | reseph_: Remake the stick | 14:59 |
| reseph_ | Will do | 14:59 |
| glda19 | /msg NickServ identify glennd19 | 14:59 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: iKnow what you mean. :) | 14:59 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Once sec | 14:59 |
| joeyJoel_ | I may have not made the copy correctly. the download, i think is a disk image | 14:59 |
| glda19 | i have problem to login | 14:59 |
| edbian | reseph_: It drops to initramfs or busybox when it can't boot | 14:59 |
| ikonia | glda19: you've just given us your password, ask for help in #freenode | 14:59 |
| corrytonapple | glda19: You did the identify in the wrong place | 14:59 |
| joeyJoel_ | I am not sure if I made the disk correctly so it will boot or install | 15:00 |
| corrytonapple | ikonia: I might have just PMed them that message instead of everyone knowing that.... | 15:00 |
| Symmetria | whats the linux kernel boot option to tell it to boot straight into a single user prompt without starting anything OR attempting to mount anything? | 15:00 |
| ikonia | corrytonapple: good for you | 15:00 |
| glda19 | corrytonapple, where is the good place to identify | 15:00 |
| Symmetria | I really urgently need to tell this thing not to do a damn thing other than give me a recovery prompt | 15:00 |
| corrytonapple | glda19: In the window or tab that says "freenode" | 15:00 |
| ikonia | glda19: ask in #freenode for irc/network help | 15:01 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Again, one sec. I have to handle some stuff | 15:01 |
| joeyJoel_ | to boot into single user mode, it is command s | 15:01 |
| glda19 | corrytonapple, ok | 15:01 |
| corrytonapple | idkonia: WTF with the good for you message> | 15:01 |
| ikonia | corrytonapple: control your language please. | 15:01 |
| Symmetria | joey just command s from grub? | 15:01 |
| glda19 | i have a problem with my session in ubuntu | 15:01 |
| corrytonapple | ikonia: You control your sarcasm. There was no need for that, and that did not even make sense | 15:01 |
| ikonia | corrytonapple: there was no need for your comment, - so please, control the language. | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | Bella figaglioli! | 15:02 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Anyway, try booting it. If you cannot boot it again, try burning a new disc | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | Andò sta Maria? | 15:02 |
| joeyJoel_ | yes, when the tones start, hold down the command key, and the letter 's' you will see a black screen asking for commands | 15:02 |
| glda19 | wy im i login as root when i give my name on the loginscreen | 15:02 |
| corrytonapple | ikonia: I was suggesting that next time you just PM her. Some bots I am sure watch the channel for that kinda stuff | 15:02 |
| ikonia | glda19: you can't login as root | 15:02 |
| ikonia | corrytonapple: I understand what you where suggesting | 15:03 |
| PythonSnake | Hi how can I remove ark it tells me to remove kubuntu-desktop too | 15:03 |
| corrytonapple | ikonia: We good now? :) | 15:03 |
| PythonSnake | ? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: that is just a meta package, you can remove it safley | 15:03 |
| ikonia | safley | 15:03 |
| ikonia | safely | 15:03 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: although it does beg the question why you want to remove ark | 15:04 |
| joeyJoel_ | I'm not sure you understand completely, my bad... when I made disk images from mac, I know the format. the ubuntu disk has many folders. I am not sure if I should have open all, Before I burned, OR, left it in the folder. One of those ways , and nothing will be recognied | 15:04 |
| PythonSnake | ikonia: if i remove kubuntu-desktop, my desktop is gone ? | 15:04 |
| Symmetria | wow this server drives me nuts when you have to reboot it, it takes a good 6 or 7 minutes before it even STARTS going near the operating system | 15:04 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: no, but I'd suggest not removing ark unless you need to | 15:04 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: So did you extract all of the files to the root of the CD, then burn it to make it bootable? | 15:05 |
| corrytonapple | So there are no more folders? | 15:05 |
| PythonSnake | ikonia: when i right click on archives and extract them, ark keeps prompting me again and again but i've already ticked ''apply to all'' | 15:05 |
| PythonSnake | is that a bug ? | 15:05 |
| joeyJoel_ | well, thats the quesation... I'm not sure what I need to do. I have the ubuntu os downloaded, but to install, I have to burn it to cd | 15:05 |
| ikonia | PythonSnake: I don't know, look in the launchpad.net bug database | 15:05 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Did you follow the instructions on the download page for mac or windows on how to burn it to a CD? | 15:06 |
| corrytonapple | You should leave the files the way they are | 15:06 |
| joeyJoel_ | it did not specify | 15:06 |
| joeyJoel_ | it only said, download, then burn to cd | 15:07 |
| corrytonapple | What OS are you in now joeyJoel? | 15:07 |
| joeyJoel_ | My mac is 10.5.8 ppc - my windows is system 7 | 15:07 |
| AlexDevilLX | Hi All! | 15:08 |
| corrytonapple | What OS are you using now? Not what OSes you have. | 15:08 |
| joeyJoel_ | on my mac 10.5.8 | 15:08 |
| AlexDevilLX | What are SDA1,2,3 SD..? | 15:08 |
| Pici | AlexDevilLX: partitions on sda | 15:08 |
| AlexDevilLX | joeyJoel_,Whats your problem | 15:09 |
| joeyJoel_ | The question was unclear - what am I using right now, as I type? | 15:09 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Okay, then let me ask you if you followed this link? | 15:09 |
| AlexDevilLX | Pici,and how do they work | 15:09 |
| joeyJoel_ | what link | 15:09 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 15:09 |
| joeyJoel_ | its loading | 15:10 |
| corrytonapple | Then click "Burn your CD or create a USB drive" then click Mac as your computer | 15:10 |
| kurt_ | Hi, guys! I have a problem with Ubuntu Live CD, can someone help? | 15:10 |
| corrytonapple | It shows you how. If you did it that way, you should be good | 15:10 |
| Pici | AlexDevilLX: What do you mean 'how do they work'? | 15:10 |
| Dbl_Tap | kurt_: just ask the question | 15:10 |
| corrytonapple | !help | kurt_ | 15:10 |
| ubottu | kurt_: 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. :-) | 15:10 |
| AlexDevilLX | I got lost today in them | 15:10 |
| kurt_ | I can`t start Ubuntu Installation after booting from Live CD. | 15:10 |
| joeyJoel_ | yes, absolutely. Notice it does NOT explain anything but the order of the steps | 15:11 |
| kurt_ | It`s showing granting rights and nothing after. | 15:11 |
| corrytonapple | Did you click "Show me How"? | 15:11 |
| AlexDevilLX | kurt_, so dont boot from live cd | 15:11 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: That last message was ment for you | 15:11 |
| dattebayo | hey guys i get the driver from "Additional Driver" but it doesnt work and everyutime i need to rename or mv the xorg how can i fix it? my graphic is ati radeon 6490m | 15:12 |
| kurt_ | It won`t install at all, just booting a Live OS | 15:12 |
| joeyJoel_ | at this moment, I can't recall, but I have installed many systems, ubuntu is unique | 15:12 |
| joeyJoel_ | Remember, normally, I would boot from the cd | 15:12 |
| Pici | joeyJoel_: And thats how Ubuntu works too. | 15:12 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Yeah it is. I have tried many, but Enjoy Ubuntu for the support. | 15:13 |
| joeyJoel_ | the machine did not recognize it | 15:13 |
| ejo | Doing it off a USB flash memory device is faster quieter lots more fun | 15:13 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| joeyJoel_ | Well, at this moment, I'm home, no extra flash drives | 15:13 |
| === LogicalDash is now known as LogicallyDashing | ||
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: So it just gives an error or brings you to GRUB or your bootloader. | 15:13 |
| krisss117 | hi i have problem with connect ot my wifi, after update | 15:14 |
| joeyJoel_ | it goes to a blue screen, with nothing | 15:14 |
| kurt_ | So, what is it possible to do? It just don`t want to start an installation, but boots a Live System | 15:14 |
| krisss117 | how i can check, in what step it stack ? | 15:14 |
| corrytonapple | How long have you waited? The Live CDs take a while to load | 15:14 |
| dimas | what exactly does the command "echo"? | 15:14 |
| AlexDevilLX | shows message on screen | 15:14 |
| corrytonapple | dimas: it shows a message on the screen | 15:14 |
| corrytonapple | Of whatever you type in | 15:15 |
| corrytonapple | so like echo | 15:15 |
| AlexDevilLX | echo Hello World! show Hello World! | 15:15 |
| Sazpaimon | Can someone give me a hand in compiling a 32 bit mplayer on 64 bit ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| gandhijee | hey how do i install a source rpm on ubuntu? | 15:15 |
| corrytonapple | so like echo "Hello World!' | 15:15 |
| Sazpaimon | (without a chroot, preferably) | 15:15 |
| joeyJoel_ | I have the ubuntu os downloaded. I need to burn it to a cd, or place in a flash drive. The point i'm at, is it is UNmounted in it's downloaded form. I do NOT know wht to do with the raw os | 15:15 |
| [mickey] | hey everyone new to ubunto and linux here.. everything installed fine but now it keeps on booting to busybox.. and sometime it just panics saying it cant find any root | 15:15 |
| AlexDevilLX | BTW, you can calculate numbers with it | 15:15 |
| kurt_ | Is it possible to burn on disk Ubuntu Minimal? | 15:16 |
| dimas | corrytonapple for example this: echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100 -p 256" > ~/.jackdrc | 15:16 |
| AlexDevilLX | I like linux because it calculates 2+2X2 right | 15:16 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: The .iso you just burn to the CD by following the instructions from that page. | 15:16 |
| corrytonapple | If it does not work, you may have a bad CD. | 15:16 |
| AlexDevilLX | while windows gives 8 | 15:16 |

| AlexDevilLX | Try verbatim | 15:17 |
| joeyJoel_ | It does not explain the format to install. | 15:17 |
| joeyJoel_ | it only says download, burn, install. | 15:17 |
| AlexDevilLX | What OS? | 15:17 |
| joeyJoel_ | MAC | 15:17 |
| Pici | !who | AlexDevilLX | 15:17 |
| ubottu | AlexDevilLX: 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 :) | 15:17 |
| gandhijee | Sazpaimon: install 32bit libs, pass -m32 | 15:17 |
| Pici | joeyJoel_: What 'format'? | 15:18 |
| AlexDevilLX | !tab | 15:18 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 15:18 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: Yes, you have to click the "Show Me How" button after you choose your settings | 15:18 |
| joeyJoel_ | I'm totally confused... between typing and reading | 15:18 |
| corrytonapple | joeyJoel_: I know, it is crazy | 15:18 |

| kurt_ | Someone?! | 15:22 |
| dimas | pici but i want to change it...how i revert what i did and put the new one? | 15:22 |

| cryoniccore | AI_ sweet. I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to install adobe air on my Ubuntu 64bit 11.04 | 15:28 |
| Symmetria | lol, wow, added a SAN to this stupid server and it reordered all the drives in linux (like sdc because sde etc etc) which gave me endless issues trying to boot it again :P | 15:28 |
| Archie | No. I'm ok thanks, this room was just on auto joins. Thanks anyway. | 15:28 |
| corrytonapple | Archie you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:28 |
| corrytonapple | There we all hang out. | 15:28 |
| deem | kurt_: pls ask, before you talk to somebody in a query. i don't like this | 15:28 |
| sudipta | <cryoniccore>from repository...search for it | 15:29 |
| kurt_ | I have my LIVE system running. But Ubuntu Installation stuff WON`T starts! | 15:29 |
| cryoniccore | sudipta. I did and I cant find it | 15:29 |
| corrytonapple | kurt_: This is no guaranteed shot, but a guess. Did you try not doing a live boot, but installing it as soon as it comes up instead of try then install? | 15:30 |
| kurt_ | It won`t load this stuff at boot | 15:30 |
| corrytonapple | Well, I can say I tried. | 15:30 |
| kurt_ | I`ve choosed an installation method, but it booted Live System | 15:30 |
| a|i | how do you save iptables in ubuntu? | 15:31 |
| corrytonapple | kurt_ You may have a bad CD. Did you burn to a CD or USB? | 15:31 |
| kurt_ | To a CD with 4x | 15:31 |
| kurt_ | No errors with a proof | 15:31 |
| AI_ | cryoniccore: just download http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/lin/download/1.5/AdobeAIRInstaller.bin | 15:31 |
| sudipta | <cryoniccore>adobeair | 15:32 |
| corrytonapple | It may just be a bad CD. You could try burning to a new CD, using quality media. I have found there to be errors with a CD and it be the cause of a bad install or live cd | 15:32 |
| reseph_ | Hi all. Trying to boot Ubuntu from USB again, now it gets stuck at "SYSLINUX 3.82" etc line and does nothing. | 15:32 |
| kurt_ | Can I burn a minimum .iso on CD? | 15:32 |
| kurt_ | Will it be bootable? | 15:32 |
| cryoniccore | AI_, Yea I have tried that too but it on;y supports 32bit | 15:32 |
| corrytonapple | Not to a desktop, and you would install via command line with minimal graphics | 15:32 |
| kurt_ | Yes | 15:33 |
| corrytonapple | Which kurt_ is quite easy | 15:33 |

| contrast | sipior: Check... but thanks anyway. | 15:59 |
| szal | !root | AlexDevilLX | 15:59 |
| ubottu | AlexDevilLX: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:59 |
| tsimpson | not "su -" | 15:59 |
| wrd | !audio | 15:59 |

| corrytonapple | tsimpson: I was able to do that on my Ubuntu. | 15:59 |
| jrib | dspstv: and you have nothing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/? | 15:59 |
| tsimpson | corrytonapple: then you set a root password, which is not supported here | 15:59 |
| sipior | contrast: error might be in the software you're trying to install. it's autotools-based, i assume? | 15:59 |

| jdevel | ? | 16:03 |
| dilruk | AlexDevilLX: Can you point me somewhere with a guide or anything useful? Im kinda new to this | 16:03 |
| KM0201 | corrytonapple: because ubuntu uses sudo | 16:03 |
| jdevel | setting a root password, having issues with that? | 16:03 |
| corrytonapple | I can do it in Debian, and wondered if I could do it with Ubuntu | 16:04 |
| corrytonapple | It always says the password is wrong when I do it | 16:04 |
| Pici | corrytonapple: You can do it, but we don't support the issues that you might have with it. | 16:04 |
| szal | corrytonapple: you can do so at your own discretion, but don't expect us to help you w/ that | 16:04 |
| corrytonapple | What issues may come aboard> | 16:04 |
| tsimpson | corrytonapple: being able to and it being supported are not the same thing, having the root password disabled is a security feature that you should not disable | 16:04 |
| KM0201 | corrytonapple: if you don't know, then its just best to use sudo... if you need a constant root terminal, use sudo -i | 16:05 |
| corrytonapple | What issues may be caused? | 16:05 |
| AlexDevilLX | dilruk: which ubuntu? | 16:05 |
| KM0201 | corrytonapple: google... | 16:05 |
| dilruk | AlexDevilLX: its Natty | 16:05 |
| contrast | tsimpson: autopoint was the key. A million thanks. :D | 16:05 |
| dw-_ | the root username is vulnerable | 16:05 |
| sipior | corrytonapple: the biggest issue is that the ubuntu sshd still (still!) permits remote logins as root by default. you'll need to turn that feature off, or at least be on guard for brute dictionary attacks against your machine. | 16:05 |

| sipior | corrytonapple: they're quite common. | 16:06 |
| corrytonapple | Even on household machines they are common? | 16:06 |
| jdevel | only if it's exposed to the external net | 16:06 |
| corrytonapple | I am not running a server here or anything. | 16:06 |
| corrytonapple | Debian than has that as a security hole.... | 16:06 |
| sipior | corrytonapple: then it likely doesn't matter. | 16:06 |
| jdevel | otherwise a hardware firewall should mitigate all that | 16:06 |
| contrast | tsimpson: Not here (on 11.04)-- had to install the autopoint package... Anyway, thanks again. Peace out. | 16:07 |
| jdevel | servers and desktops can be remotely logged into so, if it's exposed to the WAN your a potential target | 16:07 |
| corrytonapple | So then what does su - currently do if there is no password? | 16:07 |
| jdevel | prompts for a password | 16:08 |
| jdevel | then fails regardless of the input | 16:08 |
| dspstv | jrib: thanks, it was all cause by a software called Tweak,, crappy stuff that help for nothing | 16:08 |
| jrib | dspstv: no problem | 16:08 |
| corrytonapple | Regardless of the input. I guess then I should not go for it. So the issues are getting cracked into and then no body wants to be responsible for me? I would not want anybody to be responsible for me..... | 16:09 |

| sipior | corrytonapple: do what you like, it's your own computer! but do try sudo out. it allows for a great deal of flexibility. | 16:09 |
| corrytonapple | No. I was asking why setting a root password was a bad idea? How so is that trolling? | 16:10 |
| tsimpson | corrytonapple: the point is that we don't support you removing a security feature or the issues that arise from you removing that feature | 16:10 |
| AlexDevilLX | dilruk: nope | 16:10 |
| dilruk | AlexDevilLX: ok thanks anyways | 16:10 |

| dilruk | Pici: is SynapticsTouchpad same as ALPS? | 16:28 |
| dr_willis | nimi, so you somehow turn on/off hdmi sound when you need it now? | 16:28 |
| soziety | How can I send a pop-up message from bash? | 16:29 |
| dr_willis | soziety, send it where? | 16:29 |
| nimi | dr_willis, mhhh, thats not really the issue | 16:29 |
| soziety | something like this http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pizza.png | 16:30 |
| nimi | dr_willis, i want to switch automatically audio and video to hdmi when is plugged, and opossite way when is unplugged | 16:30 |
| crazedpsyc | I upgraded to oneiric yesterday (Yes, I know, I shouldn't have...) and it was working alright-ish, although the FS kept getting corrupted. So this last time that happened, I shut down to get into recovery mode and fsck. I got a strange boot error like "Please insert a proper boot medium". So... I tried a couple more times with no luck. I finally just inserted my 10.04 livecd and got in here. Now it looks as though my hard drive is | 16:30 |
| nimi | dr_willis, is hard for me to think that noone yet found a way to do this | 16:30 |
| Pici | dilruk: No, but supposedly the synpatic drivers work with it. | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | nimi, so.. how are you switching now? or are you even switching at all.. thats what i asked. | 16:31 |
| i2iot | Whats the shortcut to close a window in ubuntu? | 16:31 |
| crazedpsyc | Oh, forgot to mention, I'm on a wubi install | 16:31 |
| nimi | dr_willis, being googleing it for an hour or so, and NOthING :S | 16:31 |
| soziety | something like this <dr_willis> http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Pizza.png | 16:31 |
| nimi | dr_willis, obviously, i use nvidia control center and pulseaudio tool to switch | 16:31 |
| quaisi | i2iot: ctrl w | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | soziety, theres a way to use the ubuntu notify bubbles in a script.. i forget the command.. then i just saw this -> http://www.doknowevil.net/2010/06/25/ubuntu-notifications-osd-notify-sucks-notifications-daemon-rocks-exploiting-the-goodness-with-compiz/ | 16:31 |
| dr_willis | nimi, then theres proberly some pulse cli tools. but they may not be installed by default. | 16:32 |
| soziety | thanks dr_willis | 16:32 |
| dr_willis | pulse audio has so many tricks and features its easy to overlook them all. ive only just scratched the surface of pulse in my reading about it. | 16:33 |
| nimi | dr_willis, but is pretty annoying to do both actions every time, there should be a way | 16:33 |
| nimi | dr_willis, mhh, what about the hdmi video ? | 16:33 |
| xxghostxx | Ok, not sure what is wrong. I set PS1="\u@\h:\w#" and now my prompt shows that literally instead of user@host:workingdir# | 16:33 |
| xxghostxx | also noticing that if i push the left or right arrow, my cursor doesn't actually go left or right. It gives me two symbols. this only happens as a normal user, not root | 16:34 |
| DanC_ | the USB flash drives from my phone sometimes won't mount. How is it suppose to work? Is pmount a good work-around? | 16:35 |

| VCoolio | soziety: you can call a python script from bash, but what for? | 16:39 |
| quaisi | scensis: do you have the time set from the internet automatically? | 16:40 |

| phearret | can I plz get some help with my RTL8101E/RTL8102E wireless | 16:41 |
| dr_willis | soziety, thats using the ubuntu notify-osd feature. there are command line tools that let you create such things.. i just cant rember the command | 16:41 |
| phearret | i did the update to natty and seems to be disabled ... still | 16:41 |
| VCoolio | soziety: notify-send, it's in libnotify-bin package | 16:41 |
| royale1223 | how can i change the background color of lynx browser? | 16:42 |
| soziety | yes but I have to installed | 16:42 |
| soziety | the package | 16:42 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, Apparently it is not set to automatic from the internett. How can i set it back? | 16:42 |
| VCoolio | soziety: install, then: notify-send "Pizza is ready" "finished just now" | 16:42 |
| xxghostxx | VCoolio: that didn't work either | 16:42 |
| soziety | from python I haven't instal anything | 16:42 |
| quaisi | scensis: click on the clock icon and then time and date settings | 16:43 |
| VCoolio | soziety: what if you add display: DISPLAY=:0 notify-send blah | 16:43 |
| nimi | dr_willis, thx for your help :) | 16:43 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, I'm using Ubuntu classic btw. So it's a little different than when i used Unity =/ | 16:43 |
| SegFaultAX | Is it just me or is kernel.org not following the appropriate mirroring guidelines for the ubuntu mirror? | 16:44 |
| devilchaos | hi folks can someone please give me a link to the latest apt souces list page please? | 16:44 |
| dr_willis | KNUBBIG, i may bne thinking of guake | 16:44 |
| soziety | ok thnks I'm looking for about diasplay in google. I'm noob in ubuntu sorry | 16:44 |
| quaisi | scensis: me too. If I click on the clock in the top right corner a calendar pops up and underneath that is a setting to change the time and date. If you click on that you can change the clock to set automatically from the internet | 16:45 |
| VCoolio | soziety: just add DISPLAY=:0 in front of the notify-send command, is all I meant | 16:45 |
| dr_willis | KNUBBIG, but i sware i saw it in Yakuake.. but i cant even find its settings box now. | 16:45 |
| KNUBBIG | dr_willis: it's right somewhere on a drop down button :-) | 16:45 |
| phearret | dr_willis .. lshw -C network shows *-network DISABLED for my PRO/Wireless 4965 Kendron RTL8101E/RTL8102E | 16:45 |
| SegFaultAX | kernel.org seems to get more than a few days out of date sometimes :( | 16:46 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, strange.. I dont get that option when i click on the clock. Only see the calendar and "Locations" | 16:46 |
| KNUBBIG | dr_willis: and you where right, it wasn't in the 'normal' preferences but I found it now. thanks a lot | 16:46 |
| === basti2 is now known as basti | ||
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin then notify-send "Pizza is ready" "finished just now" | 16:46 |
| dr_willis | KNUBBIG, where did ya even find it at? i still cant find it now | 16:46 |
| quaisi | scensis: ok how about system - preferences - time and date? | 16:46 |
| lapaga | royale1223, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/lynx-colours-how-can-i-do-that-582681/ | 16:47 |
| dr_willis | KNUBBIG, ahh.. those colors/buttons seem so hard to see on my system | 16:47 |
| KNUBBIG | dr_willis: I have a button on the right lower end of my yakuake and when I click it, a small drop down menu shows up. On this I click Configure Yakuake and then I have a tab where I can choose behaviour :) ah ok | 16:47 |
| devilchaos | ok better qestion what is the latest release of ubuntu and ill just change it in the souces list i.e instead of lucid it would be? | 16:47 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, That was better. But i see now that it is set to update auto from the internett. :S | 16:47 |
| Magic_Hobo | the latest is natty | 16:48 |
| royale1223 | how can i change the background color of lynx browser? | 16:48 |
| devilchaos | cool cheers | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | devilchaos, i saw that asked on askubuntu.com the other day. several people posted default sources.lists for the various relaees I belive | 16:48 |
| devilchaos | eh? | 16:48 |
| quaisi | scensis: d'oh. I could suggest setting it to manual :) unless the location isn't correct? | 16:48 |
| dr_willis | devilchaos, the askubuntu.com has listings of them | 16:48 |
| devilchaos | aw ok cheers | 16:49 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, The location is correct :( Is there a way to modiy when and how often ubuntu sends out NTP polls? | 16:49 |
| LogicallyDashing | Pidgin normally lets me configure a proxy for just the one application. But in Ubuntu it does everything through GNOME preferences. I'd prefer to manage this on a per-application basis. How do I do that? | 16:49 |
| phearret | dr_willis .. have they found a way to fix the issue ?? | 16:49 |
| dr_willis | royale1223, check the options, and the colors config file | 16:49 |
| royale1223 | dr_willis: thanks | 16:50 |
| quaisi | scensis: sorry that's a bit beyond my knowledge. Perhaps someone else could suggest something - unless setting it manually helps? | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | phearret, i rarely pay attention to wireless issues.. I just dont use wireless that much. (i wired my house) :) | 16:50 |
| phearret | lucky you ... I don't have the luxury ATM and need wifi as freely available | 16:51 |
| scensis_ | quaisi, I think i tried setting it manually once. But can't hurt to try once more :) I'll try that before i try something else. Thanks :) | 16:51 |
| phearret | I can scan with wifi-radar and it sees the networks, I just can't connect | 16:51 |
| === ozior is now known as kacik_porad | ||
| xxghostxx | k. for anyone who was following on the bash problem, i figured it out. the default shell for a new user is /bin/sh which uses a dumb down shell called dash. i just ran chsh -s /bin/bash username to change it to the bash shell and now all works like it should | 16:51 |
| quaisi | scensis: no worries - I'm sure if you stick around someone can help you further | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | xxghostxx, thats incorrect... - dash is 'sh' bash technically when called as 'sh' should have the same features/errors.. | 16:52 |
| dr_willis | xxghostxx, if your scripts are using bash features they should be calling #!/bin/bash not #!/bin/sh | 16:53 |
| xxghostxx | dr_willis: when i did echo $SHELL it said my user was using shell /bin/sh. so i changed it to so my user uses /bin/dash. now when i have files with #!/bin/bash it shows correctly | 16:53 |
| dr_willis | remeber that the 'system' shell is 'sh' which is 'dash' not bash.. | 16:53 |
| xxghostxx | */bin/bash | 16:54 |
| xxghostxx | blash | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | /bin/bash should always work when called as bash. | 16:54 |
| xxghostxx | i can't type today | 16:54 |
| ruan | how would i delete files that were encrypted with windows? | 16:54 |
| dr_willis | bash technically should flag an error if its called as /bin/sh and you use bash features.. | 16:54 |
| xxghostxx | yah. it works now that i changed it. before it was using /bin/sh (i guess for some reason useradd defaults to /bin/sh) which apparently is dash in Ubuntu. | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | a Users shell.. shouldent be sh. :) but ive seen vps's do that. | 16:55 |
| jkeats | i'd really, really appreciate it if somebody could help me with an iptables issue | 16:55 |
| jkeats | http://paste.ubuntu.com/638488/ | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | xxghostxx, use adduser perhaps? | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | I cant recall ever using useradd in all the yeas ive messed with linux. :) | 16:55 |
| jkeats | dr_willis: i use it almost every day | 16:55 |
| jkeats | useradd -m foo | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | sudo adduser billgates | 16:55 |
| xxghostxx | dr_willis: i'll use adduser next new user create :) just annoying. is there a way to make the default shell always be /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh? | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:55 |
| dr_willis | xxghostxx, adduser dioes it that way | 16:56 |
| jkeats | dr_willis: it's a matter of preference | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | useradd proberly requires you to define the settings more exactly | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | I seem tor ecall some adduser vs useradd debate in here once | 16:56 |
| jkeats | dr_willis: indeed. but it's not available on old platforms. like irix and old solaris. | 16:56 |
| jkeats | so i'm just an old haxor. that's all. | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | !info superadduser | 16:56 |
| xxghostxx | yah. i can do -s /bin/bash and it would've doen it. but if i don't use the -s flag, then it uses the default shell (which apprently my system is configured to make default /bin/sh) | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Package superadduser does not exist in natty | 16:56 |
| dr_willis | :) | 16:56 |
| jkeats | any help on the iptables thing? | 16:57 |
| jkeats | i bumped to natty and the ip forwarding stopped working | 16:57 |

| Ampelbein | brahim: you didn't ask a question yet. | 17:32 |

| schnuffle | caedmon: only on 2940/50 | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | jonne, yeah if you absolutely eed pulseaudio then go to #pulseaudio , they can help , but if not , get rid of it and let alsa manage your audio devices | 17:34 |
| caedmon | the problem i am running into is the installer looking for disk drivers | 17:35 |

| TheEvilPhoenix | caedmon, hardware RAID? | 17:35 |
| caedmon | yeah | 17:35 |
| jonne | BluesKaj, i need PA for the network transparency | 17:35 |
| jonne | i'm generally happy about PA, as opposed to the rest of the internet | 17:36 |
| jonne | except when it's not working properly, ofcourse | 17:36 |
| schnuffle | caedmon: they changed there raids from something called PERC X to H200/300 | 17:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | caedmon, sounds like the same issue on my server... it seems the hardware raid card's drivers arent shipped ootb, but i never got a chance to test. ya might ask in #ubuntu-server, they may be more helpful (if they're alive) | 17:36 |
| Ampelbein | brahim: that's not a question. "I want to create a database" is a statement of intent, "I tried mysql but it gona grazy when a lot of data" is a statement lacking things like "I used mysql commands foo, bar and gnarz but the response was EFOOBAR, when I wanted to do XYZ". | 17:36 |

| Galaxor | pdtpatrick: Dragging the binary from nautilus didn't work. Dragging it from the "run application" dialog didn't work. | 17:53 |
| pdtpatrick | Galaxor, when u press the windows button on your keyboard, search for the app you want, when it finds it, just drag the icon onto the unity doc and it will stick. | 17:54 |

| ozzloy | er... not installed by default | 17:56 |
| pdtpatrick | Galaxor, right .. but when u search for the app does it come up or does the system not see it? u can clone .desktop file and make the appropriate changes. But if you compiled it then just open the location of the file/binary and then drag it to the dock. You can always do it by hand like you wanted to | 17:56 |

| escott | DDAZZA, make sure all your filesystems pass fsck, it could also be a delay in the enumeration of your devices, you might try playing around with rootdelay | 18:33 |
| escott | !antivirus | 18:33 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 18:33 |
| Electron | Was reading articles about the dangers of linux viruses. | 18:33 |
| Electron | It seems they do exist. | 18:34 |
| DDAZZA | escott, thank you I will look into that. | 18:34 |
| maco | Electron: there have been a few, yes. it's been a couple years since the last one though | 18:34 |
| escott | Electron, there are some, but there just arent enough linux systems out there to be worth a lot of av stuff. more likely is a direct attack on services | 18:34 |
| Electron | ok | 18:34 |
| maco | Electron: more common would be trojans, where the user installs something they shouldn't have. you can protect yourself against that by using the Ubuntu Software Center or apt-get for all your software needs, instead of grabbing random stuff from the internet | 18:35 |
| escott | Electron, set up a good firewall, enable only those services you need, etc... | 18:35 |
| Electron | What about malware, spyware and things like that? | 18:35 |
| escott | Electron, ie trojans, see maco's comments | 18:36 |
| maco | Electron: malware is a umbrella term including viruses & trojans and such, so... as far as spyware, that usually comes through trojans or could be tracking cookie stuff on websites, in which case delete cookies or use a Firefox extension that lets you selectively reject cookies | 18:37 |

| Fodi69 | Python: if your question is for unity, than: you can use 11.04 without unity, with the normal gnome layout (same as in 10.10) | 18:50 |
| cmnajs | hi. I want to run google-chrome --app command using cron.. it doesn't work, any help? | 18:51 |
| Fodi69 | Python: I think 11.04 is better in every aspect | 18:51 |
| Python | Fodi69: no it isn't | 18:51 |
| Pici | !best | 18:51 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:51 |

| Snake__ | Hi guys | 18:59 |
| xiaoy | tsimpson, yep, that did the trick ;-D | 18:59 |
| Snake__ | is there a difference between gnome and ubuntu | 18:59 |
| xiaoy | tkz to all | 18:59 |
| especially-corn | Snake__, gnome is a desktop environment with a window manager included, ubuntu is a linux distribution | 18:59 |
| EgyParadox | !GNOME > Snake__ | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Snake__, please see my private message | 19:00 |
| Snake__ | ok so gnome is part of ubuntu | 19:00 |
| especially-corn | Snake__, it doesn't have to be | 19:00 |
| buddha_ | not anymore | 19:00 |
| especially-corn | Snake__, i have ubuntu but choose to use openbox instead of gnome | 19:00 |
| especially-corn | Snake__, there was never a gnome in my ubuntu install | 19:00 |
| ISeeYou | hello everyone | 19:00 |
| Snake__ | ok I got it THANKS GUYS | 19:01 |
| Snake__ | :) | 19:01 |
| Fodi69 | Snake__: normally yes, its a part of the default install | 19:01 |
| especially-corn | Snake__, just search for alternate window managers / desktop environments if you're interested :) | 19:01 |
| Snake__ | ok thanks dude | 19:01 |

| ISeeYou | i have a problem with my netbook when i'm trying to boot from the usb to intalll ubuntu | 19:04 |
| especially-corn | n-iCe, i don't think so, whats your problem? | 19:04 |
| n-iCe | Well, network-manager says I am using a driver, but I am sure I am not using that driver, so I don't get it, indeed it is blacklisted already | 19:04 |
| buddha_ | ISeeYou: what happens? | 19:04 |
| n-iCe | especially-corn: I am using r8187 and says rtl8187 don't know why | 19:04 |
| especially-corn | it doesn't really affect your system's performance does it? | 19:05 |
| Zombie | I have my situation under control. | 19:05 |
| Python | what is faster 11.04 or 10.04 | 19:05 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: depends | 19:05 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: but if you want speed tweak it until you like it | 19:05 |
| ISeeYou | buddha: i see something about syslinux, (like version etc.) for a while and then i'm getting a black page with a cursor | 19:05 |
| Python | aeon-ltd: ? | 19:06 |
| ISeeYou | buddha: and nothing else, i cant do anything there | 19:06 |
| buddha_ | ISeeYou: have you tried burning the image again. might just be a bad image | 19:06 |
| Python | do 11.04 have more features than 10.04 ? | 19:07 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: some people find unity (new interface) faster and more usable whilst others like classic gnome; but personally if you want 'speed' (i.e max performance, least loading times etc) | 19:07 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: yes 11.04 does have some more features | 19:07 |
| Pici | Python: Haven't we been over this already? | 19:07 |
| ISeeYou | buddha_: yes i've tried also another dist, but i've checked on another pc and it works fine | 19:07 |
| buddha_ | ok | 19:08 |
| corrytonapple | Python: yes 11.04 has more features | 19:08 |
| buddha_ | ISeeYou: you have the right architecture I assume? | 19:08 |
| ISeeYou | buddha_: yes i386 | 19:08 |
| Python | aeon-ltd: yeah i want 'speed' (i.e max performance, least loading times etc) | 19:08 |
| corrytonapple | The loading times are the same on both Python | 19:09 |

| GOGNOME | http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/24/how-to-install-gnome-3-on-ubuntu-10-10-10-04/ is this the right way to install gnome 3 | 19:13 |
| Python | aeon-ltd: i5-450m, GMA HD, 320 GB, 2gb ram | 19:14 |
| anthony96 | can you install gnome-global-menu in gnome ubuntu 11.04? | 19:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: heh no need really, gnome classic will be fine | 19:14 |
| corrytonapple | Python, you would be fine on either with that hardware | 19:14 |
| aeon-ltd | Python: until you reach a level of 'strain' you won't need to change | 19:14 |
| corrytonapple | With 11.04 you can get to Unity or GNOME classic, with 10.04 you can only get to GNOME Classic | 19:14 |

| Electron | heh I don't even know if I am using gnome or unity... | 19:17 |
| especially-corn | and if i monitor the activity in top, its xorg that causes that, it jumps up to 100% processor use | 19:17 |
| buddha_ | ISeeYou: ok so might be the same BIOS problem | 19:17 |
| Electron | when i first placed this on here it gave me an error saying hardware didn't support unity...so i probably am using gnome | 19:17 |
| ISeeYou | buddha_: i've never had this problem before, i've installed some dist (ubuntu netbook and debian) few months ago without any problem | 19:18 |
| buddha_ | ISeeYou: have you tried the "workaround" as described in the link? :) | 19:19 |
| ISeeYou | buddha_: now i've discovered that the usb stick is detected by bios on "USB FDD" not "USB HDD" as before | 19:19 |

| sisif | Hello. Can somebody please explain how I can set up the bluetooth to be initialized at boot time (just like it was in 10.04). Because any newer version of Ubuntu after that one (10.04) does not recognize my BT module .. | 19:25 |

| === MidnightGlow_ is now known as opera | ||
| sisif | linusA: the thing is like this. My BT in my notebook has a sort-of kill switch (t`s not on / off -it`s those kind that you press only once to activate / de-act) which is broken - hence I can`t enable my bluetooth. Now, in 10.04 it was enabled by default at boot time. The thing is that in any later versions of Ubuntu, the bluetooth is not recognized (and have the module installed) UNLESS it`s turned on. | 19:29 |

| sisif | linusA, no, it is not. | 19:30 |
| oCean | opera: no | 19:30 |
| NoWayJose | how does a newbie know whether he is running gnome or unity ? | 19:31 |
| opera | nobody ? | 19:31 |
| oCean | opera: illegal activities are offtopic on this network. Stop the discussion now | 19:31 |
| linusA | @sisif start there, if you really dont want that then, insert your bluetooth dongle or what ever you where talking about turing it "bluetooth-applet"on. when run | 19:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | NoWayJose, is your "bar" along the left side? | 19:32 |
| buddha_ | NoWayJose: if there is a sidebar with large icons on the left side , its unity | 19:32 |
| NoWayJose | ZykoticK9, no | 19:32 |
| buddha_ | NoWayJose: then its probably Gnome2 | 19:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | NoWayJose, then probably Gnome - do you see "application" "places" "system" at top left? | 19:32 |
| linusA | literally bluetooth is completly plug and play with all supported hardware. | 19:32 |
| oCean | sisif: what does the command rfkill list output? | 19:32 |

| TheNander | Anyone have an idea as to why my wget keeps freezing? | 19:39 |
| linusA | @sisif, if it is blacklisted you can still usually use the older driver with stability risks accepted | 19:40 |
| sisif | linusA, AFAIK, there was a "bug" some time ago which make all BT / WLAN devices on notebooks be powered on at boot time. Since then it was sold - hence my trouble begun. And what drives my NUTS - under Windows I can use a software tool to power on my BT | 19:40 |

| buddha_ | BiggFREE: does VBox work with ubuntu kernel? | 19:48 |
| TheNander | Wanted to know so when I get home I could try | 19:48 |
| tsimpson | KujaxSword-: then something is probably using /fileetc, see what "sudo lsof|grep /fileetc" says is using it | 19:48 |
| BiggFREE | buddha_ ... Yes It did with the default kernel. | 19:48 |
| KujaxSword- | oh, tsimpson, i was in it | 19:49 |
| semitones | any idea how to start lubuntu from the commandline? (i'm on a live cd) before you ask, I posed that question in #lubuntu already 20 minutes ago | 19:49 |
| BiggFREE | buddha_ ... I'll try a new workaround. Thanks for your help. | 19:50 |
| buddha_ | BiggFREE: This might help: http://lgallardo.com/en/2009/05/03/recompilando-el-modulo-del-kernel-de-virtualboxrecompiling-virtualbox-kernel-module/ | 19:50 |
| BiggFREE | buddha_ ... It is noted. | 19:50 |
| KujaxSword- | i'm sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /fileetc/etc/resolv.conf but it's saying can't create reg file. | 19:50 |
| HackJunky | hey can i get some help real quick? | 19:51 |
| bytesaber_work | when adding a smb mount to fstab, what does dir_mode= mean? | 19:51 |

| Diverdude1 | It happens quite often when i have either chrome or firefox running that when i switch between windows (i usually have many windows and programs open, but it alwas happens when FF or chrome is open), that the system completely locks. The only thing i can do is move the mouse around. keyboard is disabled and i cannot click anything. The only way to solve it is to cut the power and loose all changes. This is very annoying, and actually happ | 19:51 |

| HackJunky | rite :D | 19:52 |
| HackJunky | ok so i need some help with a sound card | 19:52 |
| BiggFREE | buddha_ ... I'll take a look at this link. I bookmarked it. Thanks again. | 19:52 |
| HackJunky | i have an ATI SB card, according to hardware manager.. but i cant find the driver | 19:52 |
| HackJunky | and OSS and the generic drivers dont work | 19:52 |
| KujaxSword- | i'm sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /fileetc/etc/resolv.conf but it's saying can't create reg file. why is this? | 19:52 |
| HackJunky | yet ATI has no linux support for the card | 19:52 |
| KujaxSword- | yeah ATI blows for ubuntu | 19:53 |
| buddha_ | BiggFREE: no problem | 19:53 |
| KujaxSword- | my experience | 19:53 |
| edward_ | Hi, i have installed ssh and i noticed that i can see other users home directory(with a non root account), I know i can change permissions to restrict the access, but can i get them only visible to the owner? | 19:53 |
| HackJunky | haha yea i can tell | 19:53 |
| HackJunky | so far, no support for any of my hardware thats ATI | 19:53 |
| HackJunky | and its killin me | 19:53 |
| KujaxSword- | nvidia... auto finds drivers... | 19:53 |
| HackJunky | but ATI couldnt care less | 19:53 |

| n-iCe | hi, I install skype from skype.com but once it is installed and I try to launch it a kernel panics come, how can I know WHY | 19:54 |
| ashmed90 | Anyone knows from where I can edit grub menu's? Lappy has 10.04 Lucid. Please? | 19:56 |
| buddha_ | ashmed90: what do you want to edit? | 19:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | ashmed90, depends what you want to edit. | 19:57 |
| ashmed90 | buddha_ Zykotick9: I just want to push Windows 7 above :) | 19:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, did you try skype from the partner repo? kernel panics can be difficult to diagnose (equivalent to BSOD in Windows) | 19:57 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: found this in logs, what do you think? http://pastebin.com/QN0e6Jsy | 19:57 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: yes I tried | 19:57 |
| ashmed90 | buddha_ ZykoticK9: Actually I want to edit GRUB | 19:58 |
| ashmed90 | buddha_ ZykoticK9: Boot lists. | 19:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | ashmed90, probably more work then it's worth. have a look at the !grub2 link. | 19:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | !grub2 | ashmed90 | 19:58 |
| ubottu | ashmed90: 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) | 19:58 |
| ScottR4 | I'm having trouble setting up my network printer (HP PhotoSmart c7280); when I try to find it by IP address, it says I have to log in (not sure to what), and then hangs when I click OK | 19:58 |
| ashmed90 | ZykoticK9: Uh okay. | 19:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, sorry your pastebin doesn't mean anything to me really. Best of luck. | 19:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | ashmed90, setting the default is fairly easy though. it's in /etc/default/grub - you need to run "sudo update-grub2" after any changes to that file. | 19:59 |
| oem | ppp++ | 20:00 |
| silentz0r | my ethernet port is not recognised by ubuntu, and I have no ethernet interface. How can i make one? | 20:01 |
| buddha_ | ashmed90: its possible to create a custom boot entry for Windows (/etc/grub.d/40_custom) and then 'mv /etc/grub.d/40_custom /etc/grub.d/09_Custom' | 20:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | silentz0r, what card? "lspci | grep -i net" might tell you | 20:01 |
| HackJunky | any way to get open-gl support with no hardware acceleration? | 20:01 |
| silentz0r | 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 20:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | HackJunky, opengl is hardware acceleration (more or less) | 20:02 |
| HackJunky | ah thanks | 20:02 |
| HackJunky | then my question changes, any way to get graphics support for ATI? | 20:02 |
| silentz0r | ZykoticK9: 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller | 20:02 |

| ashmed90 | ZykoticK9: Thanks its all resolved now. Bubye. | 20:11 |
| astraljava | dongbag: It's there on 11.04, what release are you using? | 20:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | astraljava, i'm not sure how much software rendering will help you - what are you trying to do? | 20:11 |
| astraljava | ZykoticK9: Nothing, Hacky<something> asked for it. | 20:11 |
| dongbag | it doesnt seem to be there im using 8.04 i believe | 20:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | silentz0r, just try the reload command then "sudo modprobe e1000 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1" | 20:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | astraljava, gotcha :) | 20:12 |
| astraljava | dongbag: Right. That release is outdated, and there's no support for it. Please upgrade. | 20:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | dongbag, "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to find out your version | 20:13 |
| ScottR4 | Is there somewhere I could go for more assistance with my printing troubles? I need to get this fixed sooner not later... :( | 20:13 |
| KM0201 | ScottR4: the forums maybe?... whats your printer? | 20:13 |
| astraljava | dongbag: Well, server gets support still. Yeah, please do as ZykoticK9 tells you to. | 20:13 |
| ScottR4 | KM0201: HP PhotoSmart c7280 | 20:13 |
| KM0201 | ScottR4: most HP's have pretty good linux support, have you looked at HP's website? | 20:14 |
| dongbag | yep 8.04 - how do i upgrade - might it break something? | 20:14 |
| KM0201 | dongbag: upgrading is always a risk. | 20:15 |
| KM0201 | !upgrade | dongbag | 20:15 |
| ubottu | dongbag: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 20:15 |
| dongbag | oh no - i was hoping to not have to | 20:15 |
| KM0201 | dongbag: to not have to what? | 20:15 |
| dongbag | will things get replaced, like for instance im running php5.2.1 and ubuntu always tries to upgrade me to 5.3.3 | 20:15 |
| dongbag | to upgrade | 20:16 |
| silentz0r | ZykoticK9: do you know how I could get the list of options for a module? | 20:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | ScottR4, does this help? sudo modprobe e1000 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1" | 20:16 |
| KM0201 | dongbag: most likely... | 20:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | silentz0r, sorry, no idea. | 20:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | silentz0r, ummm not good - thus your question about "how to see module options" obviously. Best of luck man! | 20:20 |
| astraljava | dongbag: php-imap isn't in the repositories for your release, so you will have to install that manually anyway. If you need to stay on that release, then please install all of its dependencies manually as well. | 20:20 |

I having an issue when I open a file from the browser in the image viewer, then save from the image viewer (ubuntu 10.04) the file is locked for some reason, permissions are messed up.

| dongbag | ubuntu says - Not all updates can be installed - partial upgrade? | 20:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | dongbag, "partial upgrade" means something is going to break! proceed with extreme caution!!! | 20:24 |
| jeremymcs | trying to find out how to add reiser4fs support to 11.04. it seems ext2/3/4 won't support anything over 2tb | 20:24 |
| jeremymcs | anyone have any pointers ? | 20:24 |
| dongbag | im on linode and do have a backup from yesterday - u think i should risk it? | 20:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | dongbag, if you get a "partial upgrade" message your best bet is install aptitude and run "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" which WON'T break things! | 20:25 |
| dongbag | should i presss cancel to partial updates, update the ticked pcks and then do a full upgrade? | 20:26 |
| bazhang | http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 jeremymcs ext4 supports file size of at least 16tb | 20:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | dongbag, or at least "shouldn't break things" ;) | 20:26 |
| jeremymcs | bazhang, correct .. but my format is only showing 2 | 20:26 |
| jeremymcs | out of the 8 | 20:26 |
| jdevel | Anyone here have google voice? | 20:27 |
| jdevel | and lives in the US? | 20:27 |
| bazhang | jdevel, not on topic here | 20:27 |
| dongbag | im wondering how do i keep my server stable and also keep up to date regularly - maybe update once a month? or when a new release occurs?? | 20:27 |
| bazhang | jdevel, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat | 20:28 |
| jdevel | ok thanks | 20:28 |
| jeremymcs | bazhang, yeah, only 2.0TB on ext4 .. mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 .. and i get 2tb | 20:28 |
| astraljava | dongbag: server usually won't become unstable by updates. It's the adding of new software that does it. But if it's a critical one, you should always check updates before applying them, and plan a maintenance break when you apply everything accumulated thus far. | 20:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeremymcs, ext4 has a limit of 16 TiB - so i think your issue lies elsewhere | 20:30 |
| astraljava | dongbag: Upgrade to a new release only when necessary. Meaning when you absolutely need new components that are not available for that release, or the support ends (due to end-of-life). | 20:30 |
| dongbag | <astraljava> yeah so all the new things installed - php postfix mysql postrgresql maildrop courier amavisd etc could have problems? | 20:30 |
| edward_megginson | looks like my issue is isolated to the eye of gnome application. It wants to save files from firefox with the wrong permissions. Ideas? | 20:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeremymcs, FYI BIOS has a 2TB limit on standard MBR style partitions | 20:31 |
| TheDeathly | I cant really figure out what is wrong, i just know php scrips that want to create thunmbnails can't for some reason. i cant figure out why for the life of me | 20:31 |
| jeremymcs | ZykoticK9, i think its lame fstab's limit | 20:31 |
| jeremymcs | lemme try parted | 20:31 |
| robin0800 | jeremymcs: perhaps its a 2TB partition and not the full disk try disk utility | 20:31 |
| astraljava | dongbag: Most likely not, once they're _successfully_ updated. It's the process that might sometimes get hiccups. Those (or at least most of those) are very well tested applications, and shouldn't have problems if correctly configured. | 20:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | jeremymcs, you need to use some fancy non-MBR to get > 2TB | 20:32 |

| metallico | anyone had any luck on uninstalling gnome shell? :) | 20:33 |

| metallico | yes | 20:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | !gnome3 | metallico | 20:33 |
| ubottu | metallico: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 20:33 |

| glda19 | hi | 20:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | _numbers, you could try "sudo service alsa-utils stop" instead | 20:36 |

| _numbers | ZykoticK9: alsa-utils: unrecognized service | 20:36 |
| _numbers | and when i try to sudo apt-get install alsa-utils: alsa-utils is already the newest version. | 20:36 |

| Snakkah | When using the Epiphany web browser, every time I start it up it brings up an annoying recovery dialogue. How do I disable this? It seems unnecessary when I've just closed the browser with one tab displaying the homepage. | 20:37 |
| BluesKaj | _numbers, install alsa-base | 20:37 |
| _numbers | sudo alsa force-reload | 20:37 |
| _numbers | that worked | 20:38 |
| _numbers | wohoo | 20:38 |
| astraljava | dongbag: No prob. Sorry I couldn't be of assistance. | 20:38 |
| dongbag | thx <astraljava> no worries , u were definitely of good assistance - cheers | 20:39 |
| glda19 | what is the best why for xp linux a shared profile for thunderbird of two seperated | 20:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | glda19, probably not the best idea. You could "possibly" rsync them? | 20:40 |
| ppq | robin0800: thanks, but natty-proposed doesn't contain 2.6.39 - the newest in there is 2.6.38-10 | 20:40 |
| guntbert | glda19: my advice: don't "share", you will corrupt the settings for both | 20:40 |
| glda19 | ZykoticK9, what is the best why | 20:40 |
| glda19 | guntbert, but how can i do it than | 20:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | glda19, i'm worried that the files aren't identical between MS/GNU-Linux - but they might be? | 20:41 |
| ppq | i guess i have to get the 2.6.39 sources from kernel.org, apply the ubuntu patches and build it by myself. where can i find the ubuntu patches for 2.6.39? | 20:41 |
| glda19 | for tb no problem install on both tb and use the same profile | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | !kernel > ppq | 20:42 |
| ubottu | ppq, please see my private message | 20:42 |
| guntbert | glda19: I copied one profile and used that copy in the other system - finally I stopped using windows :-) | 20:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | guntbert, nice answer :) :) | 20:42 |
| glda19 | i have to use also windows guntbert | 20:43 |
| number9 | Hey I use 11.4 on a 1005PE and can't seem to get my built in SD card reader working. Does any one have any ideas? | 20:43 |
| ^Mike | If you have a 32-bit system, how much RAM will it see when you have 4GB? Does 2.8GB sound right? | 20:43 |
| sarahh | registration at www.gsick.com now open! | 20:43 |
| guntbert | glda19: ok, but then don't use thunderbird there | 20:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | ^Mike, i thought it was 3.2 but could be wrong | 20:43 |
| glda19 | why not guntbert | 20:44 |
| KM0201 | ^Mike: it should see all of it, because th einstaller will automatically install the PAE kernel | 20:44 |
| guntbert | sarahh: what has that to do with ubuntu support? | 20:44 |
| sarahh | somebody asked me about it here | 20:44 |
| WhatWhereAmI | hey, I have an http server listening on port 3000 of my local machine and I want it to be accessible from an external server by ssh proxy. I've tried the following: ssh -L 3333:remote-server:3000 remote-server | 20:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | ^Mike, PAE is a "hack", if you have a 64bit CPU consider using 64bit OS | 20:44 |
| ^Mike | KM0201, ZykoticK9: do you know how I can check what type this system is? It's running ubuntu currently | 20:44 |
| KM0201 | ^Mike: what do you mean "what type of system this is"... | 20:45 |
| ppq | ZykoticK9: well, i've already read that. using the explained methods, i can only get the patched sources for 2.6.38 :( | 20:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | ^Mike, "uname -a" and/or "lsb_release -a" for some info | 20:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | ppq, sorry - i have no idea. | 20:45 |
| KM0201 | ^Mike: what exactly do you want to know, those two commands ZykoticK9 gave you will help w/ some info about the machine | 20:45 |
| edbian | ^Mike: cat /etc/issue | 20:45 |
| guntbert | glda19: only from my negative experience: I nearly managed to loose all my stored mail, one side always complained ( ... already running but not responding....), I suspect it has to do with the different paths | 20:45 |
| ^Mike | i686 is 64, right? and i386 is 32 | 20:46 |
| bazhang | ^Mike, no | 20:46 |
| edbian | ^Mike: i686 is NOT 64bit | 20:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | ^Mike, no x86_64 is 64bit | 20:46 |
| edbian | ^Mike: amd64 is the technical name for 64bit | 20:46 |
| number9 | Hey I use 11.4 on a 1005PE and can't seem to get my built in SD card reader working. Does any one have any ideas? | 20:46 |

| glda19 | guntbert uie tb from version 1 or 2 no problem so far | 20:46 |
| tot | hi | 20:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, i'd say the technical name for amd64 is actually x86_64 | 20:47 |
| astraljava | ^Mike: $ uname -m | 20:47 |
| guntbert | glda19: suit yourself, I told you my experiences :) | 20:47 |
| astraljava | x86_64 | 20:47 |
| scorchgeek | my hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall ubuntu, and after copying the contents of my home directory back, I get an error starting Nautilus: (nautilus:2916): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported. Anyone know what config file is at fault so I can replace it? (I already tried sudo apt-get purge nautilus and reinstalling it.) | 20:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | edbian, well - i guess that depends on my mood ;) I usually say amd64 ;) | 20:47 |
| BluesKaj | amd is the owner of ati and a cpu mfgr | 20:47 |
| astraljava | ^Mike: That's 64-bit system architecture. | 20:47 |
| edbian | ZykoticK9: I've seen both. I think amd64 is confusing | 20:47 |
| hackerss7978 | hi | 20:48 |
| tot | how are you | 20:48 |
| ^Mike | astraljava: which is? | 20:48 |
| guntbert | tot: Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 20:49 |
| bazhang | tot, ubuntu support question? | 20:49 |
| guntbert | bazhang: :) | 20:49 |
| bazhang | hey guntbert :) | 20:49 |
| astraljava | ^Mike: A few lines above. Like others already said, I just proved on CLI: $ uname -m -> x86_64 | 20:49 |

| n-iCe | how do I prevent a drive to be loaded in the whole system in blacklist.conf ? is that all? | 20:54 |
| tot | hi | 20:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, drive or driver? | 20:55 |
| n-iCe | driver | 20:55 |
| n-iCe | sorry | 20:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, for driver, yes blacklist | 20:55 |
| n-iCe | it is added as blacklist rtl8187 | 20:56 |
| jgeli | need help, PPP/DSL connection keeps dropping. using Maverick. | 20:56 |
| n-iCe | but seems it keeps loading | 20:56 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: [ 19.205417] rtl8187: Card reports RF frontend Realtek 8225 | 20:56 |
| n-iCe | in dmesg | 20:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, not sure, but perhaps the driver is built into the kernel? | 20:57 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: yes it is, it won't stop ot? | 20:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, "lsmod | grep rtl8187" show anything? | 20:59 |
| n-iCe | no | 20:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, blacklist only stops modules, if it's built into the kernel, i doubt it would have any effect | 20:59 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: what can I dot to remove it from the kernel? | 20:59 |
| xil | hi, could I get some help setting up a vnc server on Mint? I know it's not Ubuntu but I can't find a good support community for Mint ATM. I installed tightvnc but I can't find any config files. When I start the server on :1 and connect I just get a gray screen | 20:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, you don't... | 20:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, it's obviously possible - but beyond me... good luck. | 21:00 |
| jdevel | <xil> there are a number of tutorials you can find on Google about that | 21:00 |
| Gunni | for some reason, my, just installed ubuntu server doesn't show tty1 when it starts, and i have to press ctrl+alt+f1 to get it to show up | 21:00 |
| xil | jdevel: my problem is that all the tutorials I've found presuppose the existance of certain config files, which don't exist | 21:01 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | xil | 21:01 |
| ubottu | xil: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 21:01 |
| jdevel | are you using X? | 21:01 |
| n-iCe | ZykoticK9: is the a drive a single file? or whole of folders and files? | 21:01 |
| xil | jdevel: X and xfce4 | 21:01 |
| glda19 | how used ligthning 1.04b | 21:01 |
| bazhang | xil, MINT is not supported here | 21:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, not sure? | 21:01 |
| jdevel | you should be able to access config settings through the gui | 21:02 |
| Duesentrieb | hi all! i'm trying to install ubuntu on my new t420s. i got it to boot from the usb, but the graphic doesn't work. i just see garbage. | 21:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | n-iCe, i imagine that "it depends", but if it's a kernel built-in, then it's not really a file at all (besides the kernel files) | 21:02 |
| Duesentrieb | can i somehow force a non-gui installer? | 21:02 |
| xil | jdevel: ah...I'll go look for a gui then, haha. Right now I'm ssh'd into the would-be server doing everything through the terminal | 21:02 |
| jdevel | xil.. http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/83 | 21:02 |
| Duesentrieb | or manually change the graphics mode the boot image will use? | 21:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | !nomodeset | Duesentrieb try this first - else use alternatecd | 21:03 |
| ubottu | Duesentrieb try this first - else use alternatecd: 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 | 21:03 |
| * Duesentrieb reads | 21:03 | |
| jdevel | google is your friend | 21:03 |
| bazhang | xil, did you see the message about MINT not being supported here? please dont continue asking | 21:04 |
| xil | jdevel: okay I've seen a lot about remote desktop, but I'm trying not to use it. I've read lots that says it's slow and bulky, and I kind of need speed and efficiency in this particular instance | 21:04 |
| xil | bazhang: yes, but jdevel is helping me, so I figure I'll go with it | 21:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | jdevel, see bazhang's comment above - applies to you as well | 21:04 |
| korcan | anyone know if there is an emulator (lke x3270) for Unisys UTS protocol? | 21:04 |
| bazhang | xil, not here. take it to PM if you wish | 21:04 |
| jdevel | ok ok | 21:04 |
| jdevel | strict around here | 21:04 |
| xil | jdevel: it's fine, I'll go with what you've given me, thanks | 21:04 |

| tzhuang | I'm having a problem with grub after 11.04 installation. Can anyone help me? | 21:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | !details | tzhuang | 21:05 |
| ubottu | tzhuang: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:05 |
| jdevel | that's pretty general of a question | 21:05 |
| tzhuang | Originally I was dualbooting 10.04 with Windows XP (currently using XP) | 21:06 |
| torm3nted | chillout_cafe | 21:06 |
| tzhuang | Haven't used Ubuntu for a long time, and the updates were bothering me, so I figure I'd just reinstall 11.04 over top the whole ting | 21:06 |
| tzhuang | After install/reboot | 21:06 |
| jdevel | did you repartition everything? | 21:06 |
| tzhuang | I did | 21:07 |
| jdevel | so formatted first? | 21:07 |
| tzhuang | I think so. | 21:07 |
| jdevel | installation was clean? | 21:07 |
| tzhuang | errr how do I know if it was clean? not sure what that means | 21:07 |
| jdevel | or did you get an errors while installing the OS? | 21:07 |
| tzhuang | no erros | 21:07 |
| tzhuang | while installing | 21:07 |
| jdevel | what's the error w/ grub? | 21:07 |
| tzhuang | at first it was | 21:08 |
| tzhuang | hang on lemme pull up the first error from search history | 21:08 |

| froq | So I am looking for a dock/ app launcher to place on my ubuntu, yet I don't want to use compiz.... any direction y'all? I have looked @ cairo-dock, wasn't a fan... | 21:08 |
| Duesentrieb | ZykoticK9: looking better, but distorted. i think i can work from there, thanks :) | 21:09 |
| jdevel | froq, checked out google yet? | 21:09 |
| bazhang | !google | jdevel | 21:09 |
| ubottu | jdevel: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 21:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | Duesentrieb, glad to help. See if you can install proper drivers (if available) | 21:09 |
| froq | jdevel, I did... it came back with AWN, Docky, Cairo-dock, SlimDock & one other one (don't remember the name...) the last two match my goal, yet have support and therefore break often... | 21:09 |
| jdevel | damn, learning fast here | 21:09 |
| tzhuang | Sorry. Habit from MSN >__> Alright first error was "Error: the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found" followed by the Grub Rescue prompt | 21:09 |
| bazhang | froq, docky, awn, and others possibly | 21:10 |
| froq | bazhang those all require some degree of compiz running however :( | 21:10 |
| Duesentrieb | ZykoticK9: will do. first, i'll need to add the nomodset stuff after installation again. | 21:10 |
| bazhang | froq, you using 11.04? | 21:10 |
| ubun | I need help... KDENLIVE and CINELERRA both crash... what could i do? could this be the programs or something else? | 21:10 |
| froq | i dislike compiz, it slows down my hardware to much for my desires... | 21:10 |
| froq | I am running 10.10 | 21:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Duesentrieb, into /etc/default/grub - then run "sudo update-grub2" to apply change | 21:10 |
| bazhang | froq, okay, I was going to suggest the non-compiz unity-2d for 11.04, but you are using the prior release | 21:11 |
| Duesentrieb | ZykoticK9: yea, thanks, will figure it out | 21:11 |

| tzhuang | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 21:13 |
| willichan | I have been googleing around for a couple of days. Does anyone know where to find instructions for enabling XDMCP on an Ubuntu 11.04 server? Older instructions don't seem to apply. | 21:14 |
| tzhuang | jdevel: That was the first one I looked at. Afterwards,I got the error "error: file not found" followed by the grub rescue prompt | 21:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | willichan, i certainly hope you don't use XDMCP over the internet (it's not secure!) | 21:17 |
| tzhuang | jdevel: After another search, I tried | 21:18 |
| tzhuang | sudo apt-get install lilo | 21:18 |

| mc_teo` | i can use ctrl+alt+f1 to get a shell | 21:20 |
| mc_teo` | hence using irssi to come here | 21:20 |
| mc_teo` | any idea how i could force the gui to restart? | 21:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | mc_teo`, assuming you don't have anything important that needs saving, you could restart Xorg with "sudo service gdm restart" | 21:21 |
| tzhuang | Looking for some help with regards to 11.04 install problems. | 21:21 |

| ZykoticK9 | mc_teo`, alternatively from Xorg you could use alt+printscreen+k to restart Xorg | 21:22 |
| mc_teo | so yeah, that worked | 21:22 |
| mc_teo | but what could of caused the problem? | 21:22 |
| astraljava | ray9na: /usr/share/icons perhaps? | 21:23 |

| === pothos_ is now known as pothos | ||
| ZykoticK9 | ray9na, you might want to check /usr/share/pixmaps | 21:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | ray9na, actually i don't see the folders there either... | 21:26 |
| ray9na | ZykoticK9: i was just there and not finding anything appropriate. I'm looking for folder icons with indicators on them, but all i see are non-folder images | 21:26 |
| ray9na | I thought I'd go into properties for my Pictures folder and see where its icon comes from, but the directory it took me to was merely the last place I'd been before, not its source :( | 21:27 |

| VCoolio | ray9na: it's in the icon themes "places" folder | 21:30 |
| gohdan | It is very annoying | 21:30 |

| willichan | I need to set up XDMCP for some of our Windows users to run applications on the server from their desktops. They are already set up to do it for our IBM servers, so I don't want to switch to a different method for the Ubuntu server. Has anyone found a way to set up XDMCP for 11.04 server? | 21:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | willichan, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to try #ubuntu-server | 21:31 |
| VCoolio | gohdan: is it true or fake transparancy? if the latter, set root desktop image with esetroot or I forgot what other alternative | 21:31 |
| willichan | @ZykoticK9: Thank you. I will try there. | 21:32 |
| gohdan | VCoolio: well, "true" transparency is kinda tricky for X and I havent invested that much time in it. so. i am going to assume it is "fake". | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | gohdan: what is the output of: lsb_release -d | 21:33 |
| buhman | Pici: question? | 21:33 |
| gohdan | ActionParsnip: im on maverick so, "Description:Ubuntu 10.10" | 21:34 |
| gohdan | not moving to natty until unity is all sorted out properly | 21:34 |
| VCoolio | gohdan: try xsetroot -solid blueviolet just to check if it's fake transparancy | 21:34 |
| gohdan | VCoolio: let me log into the other DE | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | gohdan: you can log into Ubuntu Classic desktop and it will look like the Maverick desktop you use now | 21:35 |
| KM0201 | gohdan: well, unity isn't ever gonna get all "sorted out"... | 21:35 |
| gohdan | KM0201: :3 | 21:35 |
| tobi__ | which is what the command to the kernel's | 21:36 |
| KM0201 | gohdan: embrace the change now... cuz after 11.10, comes gnome 3, which is likely to be a similar train wreck as unity. | 21:36 |
| tobi__ | which is what the command to the kernel's | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tobi__: that's not a full question | 21:36 |
| KM0201 | gohdan: we honestly may see some pretty crappy Ubuntu's until 12.04, or maybe even 12.10 | 21:36 |
| bazhang | tobi__, to load kernel modules? | 21:36 |
| bazhang | tobi__, otherwise that question makes no sense | 21:37 |
| gohdan | KM0201: at which point i shall learn the joy of xfce, LXDE and the myriad of other WMs | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | gohdan: or you can use LXDE and unity won't load by default | 21:37 |
| Daekdroom | KM0201, Gnome3 is being included in 11.10 | 21:37 |
| tobi__ | yes | 21:37 |
| semitones | hey I'm trying to find the noise level of my wireless network -- wavemon says to press F1, but if I do, gnome terminal help comes up. What should I do to press F1 in the terminal | 21:37 |
| KM0201 | gohdan: http://www.lubuntu.net :) (it becomes an official canonical release in November w/ 11.10... embrace the horror) | 21:37 |
| gohdan | but anyway.... hang on and let me boot into LXDE | 21:37 |
| KM0201 | Daekdroom: i know, thats what i said. | 21:37 |
| bazhang | tobi__, you mean uname -a ? | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | tobi__: to load kernel modules run: sudo modprobe modulename | 21:37 |
| Daekdroom | KM0201, You said "after", I read it as "in the release after" | 21:38 |
| tobi__ | ok thx | 21:38 |
| tobi__ | sorr | 21:38 |
| semitones | how do you press F1 within terminal/ | 21:38 |
| DartmanX | I keep getting the Errno5 when trying to install from a USB stick. Apparently, it's related to my bad dvd drive. Do you think it would go away if I yanked out the bad drive entirely? | 21:38 |
| KM0201 | no, what i mean is.. by the time 11.10 comes out, unity is probably still gonna be reasonably crappy, then we're gonna be dealing w/ gnome 3 issues. | 21:38 |
| tobi__ | I forgot | 21:38 |
| ray9na | Well, thanks guys. It's not an important issue and I'm not getting anywhere, so I'll try again later. | 21:38 |
| Duesentrieb | hm, the installer aborts saying it couldn't configre apt to install mroe packages from the cd. which is probably true, because tehre is no cd, there's a usb stick. | 21:40 |
| Duesentrieb | how do i work around that?? | 21:40 |
| sktn07 | would any one tell me : is there any software like photoshop of windows? | 21:40 |
| corrytonapple | GIMP | 21:40 |
| corrytonapple | sktn07: Gimp is what photoshop is actually based on | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: did you MD5 test the ISO you put on the stick? | 21:40 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: nope. probably should have, i guess :) | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: yep | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !hashes | Duesentrieb | 21:41 |
| ubottu | Duesentrieb: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 21:41 |
| Duesentrieb | hm... would be nice if usb-creator asked for that or better, just did that | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | corrytonapple: got a link to back that up? Not heard that before | 21:41 |
| corrytonapple | Yeah, one minute. | 21:42 |
| Duesentrieb | well, gives me an opportunity to see if windows still comes up after resizing the partition :) | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | corrytonapple: very curious and interested :) | 21:42 |
| corrytonapple | ActionParsnip, here it is: http://www.gimp.org/ | 21:42 |
| Shaba1 | sktn07: and if Gimp's interfact puts you off there is a version called Gimpshop that use the same menu and dialogs that photoshop does | 21:42 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: you don't think it has a problem finding the correct device for the usb key (or rather, the mount point of the iso)? | 21:42 |
| corrytonapple | It is available in the Ubuntu Software Center | 21:42 |
| Shaba1 | but you cannot run the two version on the same machind | 21:42 |
| KujaxSword- | i'm trying to run a program in a chroot but keep getting this while inside the program... http://pastebin.com/006F7Rye | 21:43 |
| extraclassic | in 2.7 they finally added a single window mode | 21:43 |
| KujaxSword- | what should I do? | 21:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, Photoshot is certainly NOT based on The Gimp - would be a GPL violation if it was. corrytonapple | 21:43 |
| KM0201 | yeah, doesn't seem likely | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: if the file is bad then any attempts to resolve will be for nought as the data is bad | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ZykoticK9: indeed | 21:43 |
| scb | Why would that be a GPL violation exactly? | 21:44 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: well, it *booted* fine from the stick. and ran the partition editor. and started the rest of the setup. | 21:44 |
| Duesentrieb | if just bailed out when "trying to install more packages" | 21:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | scb, no source code for PhotoShop | 21:44 |
| Duesentrieb | and it didn't set up grub | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: doesn't matter, the data to boot may be fine but the rest could have errors | 21:44 |
| scb | ZykoticK9: GPL doesn't require you to release code. | 21:44 |
| corrytonapple | ZykoticK9: That is what I was told | 21:45 |
| sktn07 | corrytonapple, except GIMP is there any other software? | 21:45 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: yea, i *am* checking the md5 now, of course | 21:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | scb, actually that IS a requirement | 21:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | corrytonapple, you where told something incorrect | 21:45 |
| corrytonapple | Not that I know of. take a look in the Ubuntu software center. | 21:45 |
| extraclassic | sktn07: krita is one | 21:45 |
| corrytonapple | ZykoticK9, thanks for clearing that up for me | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | corrytonapple: Photoshop was first released in 1990, Gimp only surfaced in 1996 | 21:45 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: the checksum is fine. | 21:46 |
| Duesentrieb | any other ideas? | 21:46 |
| KujaxSword- | I keep getting an error in my chroot while trying to run a program... here's the output http://pastebin.com/006F7Rye. Anyone know what's up? | 21:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: cool, then I'd test RAM using the USB stick so you know all is good | 21:47 |
| lasha | hey guys i got emergency | 21:47 |
| lasha | grub rescue :( | 21:47 |
| Corey | lasha: Okay, then ask your question? | 21:47 |
| Corey | !rescue | lasha | 21:47 |
| ubottu | lasha: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 21:47 |
| lasha | i am on different computer right now. it says GRUB loading. | 21:47 |
| lasha | Welcomg to Grub | 21:48 |
| * sktn07 corrytonapple,thanks:) | 21:48 | |
| corrytonapple | Corey, isn't that kinda old? | 21:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | KujaxSword-, "cannot find card '0' " is certainly the issue - but i don't really "know" what that means, other then it's looking for an audio card name 0 - which is unlikely | 21:48 |
| lasha | error" no such device: some code... | 21:48 |
| corrytonapple | You are welcome sktn07! :) | 21:48 |
| Corey | lasha: "Some code" would be what? | 21:48 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: you mean run memtest for a few hours? seriously? | 21:48 |
| lasha | Entering rescue mode... grub resque> | 21:48 |
| Duesentrieb | well, i guess it'S a good idea anyway for a new box... | 21:48 |
| corrytonapple | lasha: Sounds like it cannot see your HDDs | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: no just let a few of the tests run | 21:48 |
| meera | does anybody know if there is a possibility to conect a hexaglot scan translator on pc for repair pixeland programm errors? | 21:48 |
| lasha | ye i just formatted the partitian with mint | 21:48 |
| KujaxSword- | ZykoticK9, hmm | 21:49 |
| lasha | but grub should be on my other ssd too | 21:49 |
| Corey | lasha: We unfortunately don't support Mint here. :-/ | 21:49 |
| corrytonapple | I know. Boot up your live CD and you should be able to run (I am not positive) but you need to reload grub | 21:49 |
| callaghan | Hi, I have a strange issue: When I watch a video on youtube and close Firefox, the last image of the flash video is somehow stored. When I open a video file afterwards, everywhere the video should be completely black the flash image shines through. Also when viewing PDF's and the text should be black. This makes it very hard to read. After a reboot, the image has disappeared. Is there a way... | 21:49 |
| callaghan | ...to get rid of it without rebooting? (Ubuntu 10.10, btw) Thanks | 21:49 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: interesting. it says the ram has 0 mhz. and is noding nothing. | 21:49 |
| lasha | Corey I got ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 left so :D | 21:49 |
| KujaxSword- | Zykotick9, is there anything i can do to figure that out? | 21:49 |

| corrytonapple | callaghan: Sounds like screen burn in. Is it like that in any other OS? | 21:50 |
| Duesentrieb | looks like memtest doesn't like the hardware | 21:50 |
| corrytonapple | Do you have a CRT monitor | 21:50 |
| Duesentrieb | thinkpad t420s | 21:50 |
| Duesentrieb | it's actually frozen. can't get out of memtest | 21:50 |
| lasha | i prolly just need to update grub so how do i do that, something like sudo update grub 2? | 21:50 |
| corrytonapple | sudo update grub | 21:50 |
| lasha | i just dont know exact syntax | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: interesting stuff huh, do you have multiple RAM sticks? | 21:50 |
| corrytonapple | I think | 21:50 |
| callaghan | corrytonapple: It was not in 10.04, wait, I'll upload a picture (cause in screenshot everything looks ok) | 21:50 |
| corrytonapple | Why a screenshot then? | 21:51 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: hm, i'm not sure, but i think it has 2x3GB | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | lasha: sudo apt-get install grub2-common | 21:51 |
| lasha | ActionParsnip: thank u :) | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: try removing a stick then retest (as long as you don't damage any warranties) | 21:51 |
| Duesentrieb | (i *am* sure it'S 6gb total) | 21:51 |
| BrianOfTacoma | What is the best way to sync music on my Ubuntu computer with music on my Android phone? | 21:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | lasha, "sudo update-grub2" is the command | 21:52 |
| Corey | BrianOfTacoma: rsync, generally. | 21:52 |

| BrianOfTacoma | ...and subsequently connect the phone | 21:53 |

| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: hmm, try 64bit, It will see your RAM as one block | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Duesentrieb: 32bit will need PAE to hit all the RAM | 21:53 |
| Duesentrieb | ActionParsnip: ok, worth a try | 21:53 |

| corrytonapple | sktn07: What is that about? | 21:56 |
| sktn07 | what to do to fix chess in 3d mode? | 21:57 |
| DartmanX | astraljava: apparently not | 21:57 |
| corrytonapple | Oh wow callaghan. That comes through well | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: do you use compiz / effects etc? | 21:57 |
| corrytonapple | IDK about how to help with that. It seems like a bug maybe. | 21:58 |
| sktn07 | what that are? | 21:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | sktn07, i'd try installing both python-opengl & python-gtkglext1 | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: the effects on the desktop like cube desktop, wobbly windows etc. Do you use Unity? | 21:58 |
| lasha | hey guys i am back | 21:58 |
| sktn07 | no | 21:59 |
| callaghan | corrytonapple: I guess it's just the flash plugin screwing things up as usual... Thanks for taking a look :) | 21:59 |
| lasha | cant just use update grub command | 21:59 |
| corrytonapple | sktn07: Open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install python-opengl && python-gtklext` | 21:59 |
| lasha | i think i need to mount device i need to install it on | 21:59 |
| corrytonapple | there is a one at the end of that.... | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: you need 3D accelleration to get 3D chess. What is the output of: lsb_release -d; lspci | grep -i vga | 21:59 |
| corrytonapple | callaghan, You are Welcome. Flash is buggy, especially in 64-bit | 21:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | corrytonapple, you install command is incorrect. sktn07 | 21:59 |
| lasha | ActionParsnip: i am the grub rescue problem guy from 3 mins ago :D | 22:00 |
| corrytonapple | I know.... I messed up. Trying to think too much | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | callaghan: you can use 64bit flash in 64bit Ubuntu, it's not buggy at allcall | 22:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | corrytonapple, no && for sure! | 22:00 |

The only thing i can do is move the mouse around. keyboard is disabled and i cannot click anything. The only way to solve it is to cut the power and loose all changes. This is very annoying, and actually happ | 22:09 |
| Diverdude1 | ens quite often. How can i find out what goes wrong so that i may solve it? | 22:09 |
| corrytonapple | sktn07, sorry. I mean the Ubuntu site | 22:09 |
| Diverdude1 | And also why are newly opened windows not in focus? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Diverdude1: does it happen as all users? | 22:09 |
| mathAgentine | I've just decompresed a program form a taz.bz2 file within the download directory before install it would be better move it to anohter directory | 22:09 |
| mathAgentine | to be organized | 22:10 |
| Diverdude1 | ActionParsnip, hmm im not sure, i only have 1 user running, which is me | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Diverdude1: make another to test | 22:10 |
| daniel | what os do you use? | 22:11 |
| gohdan | so, i tried VCoolio's tip on "xsetroot" (guess after he bailed) and it accomplishes nothing | 22:11 |
| Diverdude1 | ActionParsnip, what if it happens to all users? | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Diverdude1: then its the app, not the settings you have | 22:11 |

| daniel | i want to know the most common os | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | daniel: that is offtopic here | 22:12 |
| gohdan | maybe i should set the gdm graphic as my wallpaper? that should sort everything out. :> | 22:12 |

| astraljava | daniel: #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | gohdan: sounds like a plan :) | 22:12 |
| Diverdude1 | ActionParsnip, and the window focus problem? | 22:13 |
| daniel | okok im sorry | 22:13 |
| corrytonapple | sktn07, You extract it to wherever you want. Then, there should be an install script | 22:13 |
| mathAgentine | can someone help me? | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Diverdude1: any problems at all | 22:13 |
| corrytonapple | When it pops up, just click run. | 22:13 |
| * gohdan gets to work creating a pink theme to match | 22:13 | |
| mahir256 | mathAgentine: perhaps to be organized, but there is no specific reason to; unless you've done this same procedure before, you're fine | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: copy the extracted folder to /opt and then symlink the firefox binary to /usr/bin | 22:13 |
| callaghan | ActionParsnip: lol that did it, thank you! What's the difference between flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree? | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | callaghan: flashplugin-nonfree just installs the package you already had, not sure. Flash is a weird creature | 22:14 |
| mathAgentine | mahir256: so I can create a directory to put the files I'm download in the future? | 22:15 |
| sktn07 | i am newbie ...would tell clearly? | 22:15 |
| callaghan | ActionParsnip: o_O indeed it is.... Thank you for your help. | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: copy the file you downloaded to /opt the extract it with: sudo tar jxvf firfox-5.0.tar.bz2 | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sktn07: you will extract the browser and you can look in the foilder, you will see a binary which you would run to launch the browser, if you symlink the file to /usr/bin/firefox5 or something like that, it will be easier to run | 22:17 |
| mahir256 | mathAgentine: you _can_, but i would advise not for an installer; you should do this for other documents, pictures, videos | 22:17 |
| Diverdude1 | why on earth did the ubuntu people set focus prevention in compiz settings to low instead of off as default....I really have a hard time understanding the ubuntu teams prioritations sometimes...that fixed the focus problem | 22:18 |
| mathAgentine | mahir256: thanks | 22:18 |
| corrytonapple | how do I make my GNOME panel font color white? I have tried in appearance. Do I have to make the gtkrc.2.0? | 22:18 |
| Diverdude1 | as if people open new windows for not interacting with the new window | 22:18 |
| sktn07 | how to copy that...its not coping to /opt | 22:19 |
| corrytonapple | you will need to make sure you are using sudo sktn07 | 22:19 |

| ZykoticK9 | rcmaehl, just unplug the joystick, wait a few moments, then plug it back in - hopefully it will be js0 then | 22:39 |
| mosnaldo | hallo | 22:39 |
| _asdf_ | <astraljava> if you need more informations just ask | 22:40 |
| rrh | gohdan: than you for the tips. but these seem to be all backup sollutions. (i am going to need them aswell:) but what i am looking for now, is a "how to create" a hidden "installation/rescue" partition (out of the installation cd/dvd probably), which a notebook can be reinstalled from. | 22:40 |
| rcmaehl | ZykoticK9: tried that | 22:41 |
| ventas114 | hola | 22:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | rcmaehl, when you unplug the joystick do you still see js0? | 22:42 |
| ventas114 | quien es mexicano? | 22:42 |

| ventas114 | girngito ... | 22:42 |
| _asdf_ | <astraljava> am i hopeless? ='( | 22:42 |
| astraljava | _asdf_: Yes, it might. :) That's a PPA, which don't have official support. As they mention at their page, feel free to file bugs against their packages, but do mention where they are coming from. | 22:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | rcmaehl, then something else on your system is a joystick? any ideas what it could be? | 22:42 |

| ZykoticK9 | rcmaehl, after a reboot, do you have js0 (without joystick plugged in)? | 22:43 |
| rcmaehl | idk | 22:43 |
| mathAgentine | hola ventas114 | 22:43 |
| astraljava | _asdf_: What you got there is a dependency problem. They haven't provided a matching mesa-glx library for that driver version, so currently that won't work. | 22:43 |
| rrh | gohdan: just like in the ibm/hp notebooks, which do not come with installation cd's by default purchase, because the installation package is already on the notebooks hdd. i would like to know, how to create such installation packate/partition on the harddisk. | 22:43 |

| KM0201 | justakill: well, the fact it won't mount, suggests there's something wrong w/ the drive, or something wrong w/ the disk... | 23:33 |
| bluezone | Polarina, sorry, i read that wrong, don't have my glasses lol | 23:33 |
| Aer | Anyone here know a way I can convert audio files to MPC such, as Wav, Flac etc to mpc ? | 23:33 |
| Renich | I don't know why, find . -type d thought . and .. would be good choices for directories | 23:33 |

| justakill | ? | 23:33 |

| Renich | dpkg has anything like "setuid" or "setgid" or something like that? | 23:34 |
| justakill | so something is probably wrong with the drive | 23:34 |
| justakill | cuz the disk is okay | 23:34 |

| justakill | i can also write cd's | 23:35 |

| tonyyarusso | Use real formats, geez. | 23:38 |

| OerHeks | MPC is for SOny ? | 23:38 |

| Aer | try it yourself one day if you dont beleive me | 23:38 |

| OogyPoogy | I guess noone can help me with Guake. I realize that its a basic program, but I'm wondering why it all of a sudden stopped working. Perhaps I killed a dependency, but that should have been fixed on a reinstall, which didn't occur. | 23:53 |

| justakill | how annoying... | 23:53 |

| tzhuang | Regarding Ubuntu 11.04 installation: I partitioned around 100MB as a boot partition for which I specified to mount /boot. I then said to install the bootloader to sda7 (the boot partition). During the installation, the installer said I could not install the bootloader to the partition. The gui wouldn't work at that point so I was forced to reboot. Then I tried to install Grub2 manually through a terminal to no avail. The error I get is "Sector 50 is already in | 23:55 |
| aabbccdwe | tnx | 23:55 |
