| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, on Disk Utility RAID Adapter is visible as device ? | 00:07 |
| ubuntufreak21 | :&) | 00:07 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, we need to know (1) how you tried to install (2) how you expected it to work (3) what it did instead | 00:07 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: echo $SHELL | 00:08 |
| hurp | /bin/sh | 00:08 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin it reports as SATA Host Adapter Model SB7x0/SB7x0/SB9x0 SATA Controller [RAID5 mode] | 00:08 |
| ubuntufreak21 | HEY! | 00:09 |
| natee | 1 i tried all possible ways, the cd i bought from ubuntus website, the usb key, the live cd alternative, 2 i expeted it to work like when i installed windows seven ultimate, which installed flawlessly, and 3 it crashed during install | 00:09 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: And this is on Ubuntu? What user? | 00:09 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, and there only Adapter with no Hard disk visible ? | 00:09 |
| hurp | ubuntu-server, with any user | 00:09 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, I need you to be more specific, and from the way you replied I'm thinking you're being vague on purpose | 00:09 |
| hurp | however | 00:09 |
| hurp | i got this with normal ubuntu as well | 00:10 |
| hurp | in fact, i always had this | 00:10 |
| natee | im not trying to be vague | 00:10 |
| hurp | when i do "su user" | 00:10 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, there are 3 disks visible, my SSD, and the 2 disks that are supposed to be in RAID | 00:10 |
| natee | it literally froze up when i tried installing it | 00:10 |
| E3D3 | natee: I cant find your acer model on Google, is it that new ? | 00:10 |
| kaushal | hi | 00:10 |
| kaushal | is video supported in pidgin 2.9.0 on ubuntu ? | 00:10 |
| hurp | i get propmpted with a $ sign, then i have to write "bash" and THEN i can change user | 00:10 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso | 00:10 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: That's weird... What's `ls -lh /bin/sh` say? What release? | 00:10 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, were you using the normal install or alternate? what stage did it crash at? | 00:10 |
| natee | the stage where it got you to name the computer and user acount | 00:11 |
| carldoncarls | i just pulled a indiana jones and saved my laptop from sliding off my girlfriends bed | 00:11 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, ah, you see that means it was actually running before it crashed, so I don't think the issue is with your motherboard exactly | 00:11 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2011-07-09 15:11 /bin/sh -> bash | 00:11 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, when klick on Hard Disk on the right pane can you see Volume(s) | 00:11 |
| natee | well what can you suggest | 00:11 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, off the top of my head, try a different hard drive | 00:12 |
| natee | its brand new | 00:12 |
| hurp | exactly | 00:12 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, sometimes they're messed up out of the box | 00:12 |
| kaushal | Anyone configured video support in pidgin 2.9.0 on ubuntu 11.04 ? | 00:12 |
| natee | it was like 500 bucks | 00:12 |
| gpeterso | When I run nm-tool, I see I get state: connecting (need authentication). I'm looking at the password on the router and on my laptop and they match exactly. What am I doing wrong? I did this years ago and had to do something extra, but I can't remember what. | 00:12 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, It says 1.5TB RAID Component | 00:12 |
| kaushal | I have a inbuilt webcam | 00:12 |
| natee | and its the only sata hard drive i have | 00:12 |
| hurp | then you got ripped off natee | 00:12 |
| radish | How do I stop seeing this nonsense of bytes and make everything show only bits? As well as it being in decimal, base 10, not binary, base 2. | 00:12 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: so, you're already running bash then. Is the problem just that you don't get the prompt type that you expect? | 00:12 |
| natee | howd i get ripped off | 00:13 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, the *hard drive alone* can be had for like twenty bucks | 00:13 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso not sure if you understand the problem | 00:13 |
| natee | since when can you get a 1tb hard drive that cheap | 00:13 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso i want to be able to just do "su user" and it'll change user, without me having to write "bash" | 00:13 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, you don't need a terabyte hard drive, right now you just need another one to try installing on | 00:14 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso this only occurrs with users who have no PW btw | 00:14 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: What happens if you try it now without writing bash? | 00:14 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso nothing happens | 00:14 |
| natee | would my external work | 00:14 |
| natee | i have a 500gig external | 00:14 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, sure, try that | 00:14 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: Define "nothing". | 00:14 |
| E3D3 | natee: Did you try using a liveCD/USB ? | 00:14 |
| hurp | i get promted again | 00:14 |
| hurp | and again | 00:14 |
| natee | i tried everythign | 00:14 |
| Thanatos | when partitioning a new instal, if /, /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr/local, /home are all serperate partitions, will they all mount automatically by default? | 00:14 |
| hurp | in an infinite loop | 00:14 |
| hurp | until i write "bash" | 00:14 |
| FloodBot1 | hurp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:14 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, can you click on HDD then on big place under Volumes ? | 00:15 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: prompted for what? | 00:15 |
| LogicallyDashing | natee, if you REALLY tried everything, you don't need our help | 00:15 |
| hurp | promted to write the four letter, b, a, s and h :p | 00:15 |
| natee | i did try everything i can from the disk | 00:15 |
| carldoncarls | )that's so logical) | 00:15 |
| E3D3 | natee: Maybe you have a corrupted download ? | 00:16 |
| natee | how i bought the disk from ubuntu | 00:16 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n there's nothing there but the big part that says 1.5TB RAID Component. Clicking on it does nothing | 00:16 |
| E3D3 | natee: Sorry, I never could not install an OS but be quiet, Good luck | 00:17 |
| E3D3 | I be quiet | 00:17 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, click on it and press Mount Volume ... must appear an error box with details | 00:17 |
| natee | thanks anyways guys, im gonna format my harddrive and try again | 00:17 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, there is no option to mount volume | 00:17 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, raid harddisks partitioned ? | 00:19 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: Okay, it does not tell you "write bash". What is the prompt? | 00:19 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, yes I have a program partition and a File partition | 00:20 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, and about 2TB of files there | 00:20 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso just a $ sign | 00:20 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: and what's wrong with that? | 00:20 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso i just tried writing 'bash' out of randomness, and it worked | 00:20 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, wooow it's dangerous | 00:20 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: $ is a perfectly valid prompt. | 00:20 |
| hurp | .... | 00:20 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | lol | 00:20 |
| hurp | meh never mind, you don't seem to understand what i'm saying | 00:21 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, and now if you boot win7 you see disks and all data on them ? | 00:21 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | hurp: $ denotes a standard shell prompt: /bin/sh | 00:21 |
| mnemonic76 | Ubuntu minimal iso installer doesnt see my harddisk although fdisk from a shell prompt does... so I cant complete the installer because I cant set mountpoints. any ideas? | 00:21 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: Perhaps you should ask more clearly. | 00:21 |
| soreau | Hey guys, I'm having problems configuring rythmbox in lucid. I don't want a tray icon so I removed it, then closed the rythmbox window and it kept playing. So I killed the process and now when I start it, it runs but does not show the tray icon nor the window so I cannot use it | 00:21 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n yes although right now I do not have windows. I need to reinstall it | 00:21 |
| hurp | i've explained this 4 times now, i have to write "BASH" when i change user | 00:21 |
| hurp | that's all | 00:21 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: Ignore the bash part entirely. What is FAILING about changing user? | 00:21 |
| hurp | i cannot change user without writing BASH........ | 00:22 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: Define "cannot". | 00:22 |
| soreau | When I close rythmbox window I expect it to also stop the process but it doesn't. Seems like it's a daemon or something | 00:22 |
| hurp | does. not. work? | 00:22 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: What is actually going wrong, and how are you confirming that it's not working? | 00:22 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: ie, what makes you think you have not in fact changed users? | 00:23 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, what is the raid adapter model ? | 00:23 |
| hampsterblade | SB750 | 00:23 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n AMD SB750 | 00:23 |
| hurp | tonyyarusso https://pastee.org/qsfdt | 00:24 |

| hurp | .............................. | 00:24 |
| === NYAN is now known as derp|gone | ||
| tonyyarusso | hurp: So yes, like I started with, nothing is wrong with changing users - you just don't have the prompt you expect. | 00:25 |
| gpeterso | I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my wife's laptop. She always uses wireless, but I can't get it to connect. It keeps saying "Authentication is required by wireless network." I enter the password, but it doesn't log in. | 00:25 |

| hampsterblade | anakin_n yes | 00:25 |
| paulie | i can hear sound but i can't get skype to accept my audio. | 00:25 |
| tonyyarusso | hurp: While you're at the $ prompt, without running bash, try this: PS1='\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$' | 00:25 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, windows compresion turned off ...hope so | 00:26 |
| mnemonic76 | Does this make any sense? Cli installer does not list my harddisk after "detecting hardware" but If I execute a shell from the cli installer, I can do an fdisk -l /dev/sda and see the disk. | 00:26 |
| ubuntufreak21 | someone pleeease help | 00:26 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n of course. that would be a nightmare for a 3TB drive | 00:26 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it will only take aminute of your time | 00:26 |
| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: what do you mean 'reboot' | 00:26 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, what ubuntu u use now | 00:27 |
| hihihaha | I don't understand your question too. ubuntufreak21 | 00:27 |

| hampsterblade | Anakin_n 11.04 | 00:27 |
| hihihaha | do you intent to hiberate? | 00:27 |
| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: are you talking about hibernating or what? I guess I don't know what you're talking about. Have you installed ubuntu? What release? | 00:28 |
| caotic | so I have spent the las 45 minutes trying to make a .desktop file. It is ment to run a script, how ever when i execute it all i get is Cannot display [path to Exec] The location is not a folder. | 00:29 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it wants me to put in field how space used to preservde files across reboots (ubuntu only) | 00:29 |
| mnemonic76 | btw: the detecting hardware asks if I want to support serial ata (the physical disk is ata) and then it only lists iSCSI as an option for partitioning (there is no SCSI) | 00:29 |
| caotic | I have get some promising resoulrs from ubuntuformus, but seems that an account is mandatory to browse its contents. and i dont want an account atm | 00:30 |
| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: Ok. Have you installed Ubuntu yet? | 00:30 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i typed 50 mb is that enough? | 00:30 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yeah | 00:30 |
| caotic | is there an native utility to edit/ create .desktop files | 00:30 |
| mnemonic76 | What version? | 00:30 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n it was formated in NTFS via windows | 00:30 |

| ubuntufreak21 | 11.04 | 00:31 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, I have not been able to find any | 00:31 |

| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: I looked at the screenshot in the unetbootin webpage and that blank you're talking about says (ubuntu only) so I think you can leave it at 0. | 00:38 |

| soreau | zykotick9: I looked in sound preferences as I seem to recall there being a checkbox for the panel icon but I did not see anything like this | 00:54 |
| zykotick9 | soreau, is indicator-sound installed? | 00:54 |
| bazhang | soreau, right click add to panel indicator applet complete? | 00:54 |
| soreau | zykotick9: yes | 00:55 |
| soreau | bazhang: Ah, that did it, thank you very much | 00:55 |
| bazhang | soreau, you're welcome | 00:55 |
| soreau | ok so I must have removed the indicator applet instead of rhythmbox's icon | 00:57 |
| soreau | now back to configuring rhythmbox.. | 00:58 |
| bazhang | soreau, rhythmbox has to be explicitly quit, or it will just minimize to tray | 00:58 |
| soreau | bazhang: that sucks :P | 00:58 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, but if you see adapter in disk utility it's may be works | 00:58 |
| bazhang | ie, hitting the 'x' wont do it | 00:58 |
| soreau | bazhang: Is there a way to make the visualization fullscreen? Also is there a way to make it use projectM? | 00:58 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, and you just can not access the ntfs file system | 00:59 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n I'm about to just give up | 00:59 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n and back to windows :/ | 00:59 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, try just in Ubuntu Software center search NTFS | 01:00 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, try just in Ubuntu Software center search NTFS | 01:00 |
| bazhang | soreau, I dont see projectM in the plugins preferences, the maximize of visuals does not work hitting the square button? | 01:01 |
| ubuntufreak21 | hellppp | 01:02 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_ it's not an NTFS issue | 01:02 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, and install ntfsprogs pack or some tools programs for ntfs access with system packs ..it's just for try | 01:02 |
| soreau | bazhang: Well that maximizes the window but does not make the visualization fullscreen | 01:02 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i lost usb compatiblity | 01:02 |
| bazhang | soreau, okay sorry, I use banshee for the most part, try to avoid rhythmbox | 01:02 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what do look for to install in synaptics manager | 01:02 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, usb compatibility with what | 01:03 |
| soreau | bazhang: Can banshee play lastfm? | 01:03 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n, the problem has to with the raid utility throwing errors do to the way the drives are set up, most likely due to having moved the drives from a SB850 to an SB750 | 01:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | fo ubuntu | 01:03 |
| Naruto^985 | Is this Ubuntu Chat site | 01:03 |
| bazhang | soreau, yes it can use last.fm | 01:03 |
| === kancerman_ is now known as kancerman | ||
| bazhang | Naruto^985, support | 01:03 |
| soreau | bazhang: ok I'll give it a shot, thanks | 01:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what do i install to the usb driver so i can go back to usb | 01:04 |
| bazhang | Naruto^985, chat is #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so that it recognizes usb | 01:04 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, you need advanced tools for diangnostic this adapter works or not works 100% normal | 01:04 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, go back to usb for what; is this a install or in a virtualbox | 01:04 |
| Naruto^985 | Thanks :) bazhang | 01:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no i was being stupid and tried using up two usb sticks for booting iso and at the screen it said boot error | 01:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | and i lost usb | 01:06 |
| hampsterblade | I know it works | 01:06 |
| ubuntufreak21 | function | 01:06 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, how were the iso written to usb, using which tool | 01:06 |
| hampsterblade | Anakin_n cause it works in windows | 01:06 |
| ubuntufreak21 | unetbooton | 01:06 |
| ubuntufreak21 | unetbootin | 01:06 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, and they never worked? | 01:06 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no its not that i used to usb sticks for fi nishing the download | 01:07 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, finishing the download of what | 01:07 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i just want to know the software needed to get my usb boot function back | 01:08 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, to see now how it works in ubuntu | 01:08 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, you installed iso to usb with unetbootin, and it booted properly, is that correct | 01:08 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what do i search for in synaptics for connecting usb mounting usb | 01:09 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, most likely it's driver problem of adapter, but it can be problem in array asembling formating under windows and migrate array to linux | 01:09 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no i took one usb out and filled it then during the process i switched usb | 01:10 |
| ubuntufreak21 | usbs | 01:10 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it was a stupid move but i was very lucky that i didnt screw everything up just usb | 01:11 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so i want usb to be able to mount to computer | 01:11 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, you used unetbootin to install iso to usb and it booted correctly, yes or no | 01:11 |
| wizzr | [Blog] How Ubuntu Killed My Family Computer - http://bit.ly/qSNUh3 | 01:12 |
| bazhang | wizzr, wrong channel dont paste here | 01:12 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no because i tried loaded it on two usbs which i should of known that wouldnt work | 01:12 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, did you md5 the iso beforehand | 01:13 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so unetbootin wasnt the problem it was me and my stupid mistake | 01:13 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no how do you do that? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | !md5 | ubuntufreak21 | 01:13 |
| ubottu | ubuntufreak21: 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 | 01:13 |
| bazhang | !hashes | ubuntufreak21 | 01:13 |
| ubottu | ubuntufreak21: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 01:13 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what is md5 | 01:14 |
| hampsterblade | md5 is a hashing algorythm | 01:14 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, md5 the iso, re"burn" iso to flash key then try booting again | 01:14 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, I just gave you links. read them | 01:14 |

| mnemonic76 | desperately need help with installer hardware detection problem. can anyone help? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | test34, you mean ubuntufreak21 | 01:17 |
| test34 | bazhang, no | 01:17 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, on windows you made raid array with raidxpert or with bios ? | 01:17 |
| elf | ok so my gnome is set to automatically log in when the system starts... this is a headless server, and when gnome starts it runs the vino server so i can vnc into it. gnome just crashed. gdm has been restarted. I presume it is now sitting at the login prompt. What script or process is responsible for automatically logging in the user account? I'd like to run it manually (via ssh) to get it logged in again so vnc works, without having to restar | 01:17 |
| elf | t the whole box | 01:17 |

| slytherinprefect | internal mic not working on newly-installed ubuntu 11.04 on an acer aspire one d260 | 01:18 |
| slytherinprefect | any help? | 01:18 |
| lapaga | ubuntufreak21, what did you mean when you wrote you are using unetbootin to lauch a freedos iso on to usb? | 01:18 |
| bazhang | test34, I know what md5 is thanks | 01:18 |
| test34 | bazhang, it doesnt explain what md5 is | 01:18 |
| test34 | bazhang, it explains that md5 is flawed | 01:18 |
| soreau | bazhang: I cannot get banshee to play lastfm.. I allowed access and it says I'm logged in but when I try to play any station, it says that it's only available to 'subscribed users' | 01:18 |
| bazhang | test34, thats not really about ubuntu support, but thanks | 01:19 |
| soreau | bazhang: I did not have to allow rhythmbox, I just put in my user/pass and it worked | 01:19 |
| test34 | bazhang, so why use md5? | 01:19 |
| mnemonic76 | is there another channel for installation questions? | 01:19 |
| ubuntufreak21 | im trying to boot an ms-dos image which 3.8 gb to a 4gb pendrive | 01:19 |
| ubuntufreak21 | do i need to make iso smaller? | 01:20 |
| rww | test34: the security problems with md5 are irrelevant to people using it to make sure downloads didn't have issues. Network issues are statistically unlikely to cause hash collisions. | 01:20 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it wasnt hash peoples | 01:20 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, whats says command "cat /proc/mdstat" ... or you giveup already :) | 01:20 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i used to usb stick for one installation | 01:20 |
| mnemonic76 | Are we talking turkish hash? Corned beef hash? | 01:21 |
| Takieda | I've tried installing ubuntu several times on my PC and I keep getting installation failed errors, it seems to go through the entire install but can't modify the bootloader, I'm guessing. | 01:21 |
| lapaga | ubuntufreak21, so all the help you have been asking for with ubuntu really has nothing to do with ubuntu? | 01:21 |
| ubuntufreak21 | lol | 01:21 |
| prf_q | hey guys I have a question. I have Ubuntu installlation and another Ubuntu installation in VirtualBox. virtual installation has OpenSSH and I'm able to connect it from inside it using "ssh localhost" but I want to connect it from host machine. I couldnt find its IP or anything. any ideas? | 01:21 |
| ubuntufreak21 | huh/ | 01:21 |
| rww | mnemonic76: no, hash functions. | 01:21 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, msdos? this is ubuntu support | 01:21 |
| test34 | rww, it is not only about corruption from download, it is also about security... why not switch to SHA1 | 01:21 |
| Takieda | obviously, don't have a very detailed description to provide... when it does fail, though, it boots up the live CD to "further diagnose" the problem. Is there some log I can make of what has happened using the Live instance that I could pastebin? | 01:22 |
| Takieda | 11.04, btw. | 01:22 |
| ubuntufreak21 | im trying to use unetbootin to load windows 7 onto usb bought there two things i need help on | 01:22 |
| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: Your issue is you have too much data to fit on the usb drive. You need to fix that. That is not an ubuntu question. | 01:22 |
| ubuntufreak21 | 1. get usb reconnected | 01:22 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, "ifconfig" from inside the VM (note you'll only be able to connect from the host machine, unless you configure bridged networking) | 01:22 |
| bazhang | ##windows ubuntufreak21 | 01:22 |
| rww | test34: Checking a non-signed hash you got from the same site as the download file does not provide any security whatsoever, regardless of whether it's MD5 or SHA1. But as bazhang said, this is getting offtopic. | 01:22 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: it is okay. I'm currently using NAT. | 01:22 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, so with NAT you can ONLY connect from the host machine | 01:23 |
| ubuntufreak21 | 2. copy iso to usb stick in smaller increments | 01:23 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: on ifconfig, I see something like 10.0.2.15 | 01:23 |
| prf_q | is it its local ip? | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, use that IP from the host | 01:23 |
| Anakin_n | hampsterblade, some exotic raid tools from amd :) http://wwwd.amd.com/AMD/SReleaseF.nsf/softwarepages/ToolsbyOSChipset?OpenDocument | 01:23 |
| prf_q | yes but it doesn't respond | 01:23 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: i have ubuntu server on virtual | 01:23 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, can you ping it? have you install ssh server? | 01:24 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, this is not an ubuntu support issue, please stop asking here | 01:24 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: and when I say ssh 10.0.2.15 from host machine, it doesnt work | 01:24 |
| ubuntufreak21 | 1. get usb connected help with just this and i will leave you al;one | 01:24 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: I have openssh insatlled on guest, | 01:24 |
| bazhang | ubuntufreak21, /join ##windows | 01:24 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: ssh localhost works on guest machine | 01:24 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, can you ping it? | 01:24 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: it couldnt ping also | 01:24 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i know that ignore that part and help get connected to my usb please | 01:24 |
| slytherinprefect | Can anyone help with my internal mic issue? Headset works but built-in mic doesn't. Ubuntu 11.04, Acer Aspire One D260. | 01:24 |
| soreau | bazhang: Ok, so what other alternatives are there for lastfm? banshee apparently uses some new lastfm API that requires a subscription | 01:25 |
| mnemonic76 | I am trying to install 11.04 on an older machine via mini.iso cli installation. The installer script can't detect the 40gb ATA drive installed as the primary master. So partman can't configure the disk. However, if I execute a shell, fdisk can see the disk. ANY help ANY suggestions? | 01:25 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, hum, i'm surprised. but you might want to ask in the #vbox channel (but i though from Host machine it would be able to access the Guest NAT, perhaps not) | 01:25 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: I'm also asking there simultaneously | 01:25 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: can it be about firewall? should I forward some ports? | 01:25 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, if you have a firewall on guest - yes it could be that! | 01:26 |
| Yadra | Greetings all! Is there a Wubi IRC channel? | 01:26 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: it is default ubuntu server 11.04 installation. I am not sure there exists any by default | 01:26 |
| bazhang | Yadra, ask here | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, by default, there is not active firewall | 01:26 |
| slytherinprefect | I'm not trying to spam the room or anything, just not sure if anyone's seeing my messages - can anybody help with an internal mic issue? | 01:27 |
| bunzymr | how can I restore default setting for compiz? | 01:27 |
| Flannel | slytherinprefect: I have no idea about your microphone, but I can confirm you're talking and we're seeing it. | 01:27 |
| dwarder | where do i get | 01:29 |
| Takieda | where do you get what dwarder? | 01:31 |
| dwarder | /usr/local/sphinx/etc/example.sql | 01:31 |
| dwarder | if i installed sphinx from ubuntu package | 01:31 |
| nixchix | is there a way to backup my Ubuntu Karmic OS as it currently is? I want to try and set up a dual boot system w/windows 7, but I wanna make sure I don't have to reconfigure Ubuntu if I end up needing to reinstall | 01:32 |
| nixchix | so basically i wanna back it up w/all the programs and settings I currently have | 01:32 |
| === neo is now known as Guest89453 | ||
| bazhang | nixchix, clone? ie with clonezilla? or something else | 01:33 |
| Takieda | i.e. a ghost image, nixchix? | 01:33 |
| Yadra | Thanks, bazhang, I was wondering if there's an established method for mounting the ".disk" disc images, espicially in (sorry) Windows 7. | 01:33 |
| prf_q | zykotick9: got the answer. if we're using NAT, we should not try to connect it using its IP. we should use localhost and make a port forwarding 2222->22 then ssh -p 2222 localhost | 01:33 |
| Yadra | The .disk images that Wubi generates, that is. | 01:33 |
| bazhang | Yadra, you want to move a wubi install to the hdd? | 01:33 |
| zykotick9 | prf_q, glad you got an answer! Thanks for the heads up. | 01:33 |
| Yadra | So I can access the filesystem from outside. | 01:33 |
| nixchix | bazhang, thanks! | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Yadra, the wubiguide has info on that | 01:34 |
| dwarder | and i found them | 01:34 |
| Yadra | bazhang: The google results suggested the guide did, but I didn't see where. | 01:34 |
| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide Yadra | 01:34 |
| jasoncarter | How do I get rid of all this localhost crap? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/641060/ | 01:35 |

| ubuntufreak21 | hey please help me mount to usb directory | 01:43 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so i can move into the light | 01:43 |
| Flannel | ubuntufreak21: Did you do somethign out of the ordinary on the USB? Any error, or removal without unmounting, etc? | 01:44 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yeah but that shouldn't cause to much problem | 01:44 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yeah i think so | 01:45 |
| Flannel | ubuntufreak21: Yeah it will. Reboot and see if the problem persists. There's a way to do it without rebooting everything, but I'm not sure what it would be with Unity and all the new changes. | 01:45 |
| Anakin_n | wrte in trminal this command "tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages" ... replug usb and read whats happens | 01:45 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no i gonna have to spank my self to drinkin | 01:46 |
| ubuntufreak21 | you guys dont get it its not the problem! | 01:46 |
| Flannel | ubuntufreak21: I'm not sure what you just said, but I know it's not relevant. | 01:46 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i put some of the iso files on one usb and then put some on the other usb i have so 1+1=2 | 01:47 |
| ubuntufreak21 | lol | 01:48 |

| astrozombie | Hello, does anyone know a way to convert my itunes m4p protected songs on a netbook with no cd drive to unprotected so i can put them on my ubuntu laptop? | 01:54 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so please help me get my usb connection back | 01:54 |
| Takieda | astrozombie: I know of no method to directly remove the DRM from itunes music. | 01:55 |
| Takieda | the only way I'm aware of is to use rerecorders that basically play the music on the "approved" program, and record the audio from that to a new, DRM free, file. | 01:55 |
| Takieda | never used those. | 01:55 |
| ubuntufreak21 | *yawn *ppplease help im getting tired | 01:56 |
| * DIL go to sleep | 01:56 | |
| ubuntufreak21 | this is getting a bit sluggish trying to continually waste time getting help | 01:56 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i just need to get driver package for my usb connection | 01:57 |
| Takieda | ubuntufreak21: if you want help with stuff, FOR FREE, mind you, be prepared to have some patience... some people have tried to help you, apparently not in the way you wanted or needed, but eventually someone will get on here that *can* help you... it just takes patience. | 01:57 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i know | 01:58 |
| ubuntufreak21 | but the point is someone was here and they keep beatin around the bush | 01:58 |
| ubuntufreak21 | lol | 01:59 |
| ubuntufreak21 | they keep on trying to talk but end up going to someone else | 01:59 |
| Takieda | one person told you, it probably had to do with disconnecting the USB drive without properly unmounting it. another person told you a command in terminal, to try to diagnose your problem, but you either ignored, or just chose that's not the way you want to fix the problem. | 02:00 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yeah thats the one i need | 02:00 |
| ubuntufreak21 | the terminal one thats all and i wasnt ignoring i was researching the problem | 02:01 |
| Takieda | "<Anakin_n> wrte in trminal this command "tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages" ... replug usb and read whats happens" | 02:01 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i cant talk all the time | 02:01 |
| Takieda | "<ubuntufreak21> you guys dont get it its not the problem!" was your response, either to Anakin_n, or the other one trying to help you. a response like that does not net useful help beyond that point. | 02:02 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what are you guys robots or human beings? | 02:03 |
| Takieda | ubuntufreak21: that's PRECISELY why some people won't respond to you. | 02:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | get with the program cause the robots coul do a better job than you | 02:04 |
| zykotick9 | !attitude | ubuntufreak21 | 02:04 |

| lapaga | ubuntufreak21, part of the problem might be that you came into the channel and said you just need a minute of our time...it will be easy...should I use 50mb. It was not until much later after many questions and trying to help that you finally sort of mentioned that you were trying to install freedos. It makes people not really want to go out of their way anymore when you do not tell us upfront what you are trying to do. | 02:04 |
| lapaga | sorry about the flood | 02:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | you need a big team to look up the informatioin and another big team to help its that simple | 02:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | ok im sorry i shouldve shutup | 02:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | im sorry i typed that to you all | 02:05 |
| rww | #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. If you want to wander into metadiscussion, please go somewhere else, like #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. | 02:05 |

| Takieda | speaking of which, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on this machine (can't install and chat at the same time, sadly), and I have a hard drive with half of it partitioned for Windows XP, and the other half empty. I've run the install a few times, redownloaded the same ubuntu iso, burnt it on different media (different speeds, and different brands of discs,etc.), and it always comes back with an error near the end of installation (as far | 02:08 |
| Takieda | as i can tell). | 02:08 |
| ubuntufreak21 | but cant they try harder to limit 3 people per person help | 02:08 |
| ubuntufreak21 | not 20 | 02:08 |
| Takieda | it seems to fail when trying to update the bootloader, and then boots into a Live instance for "further diagnosis." is there something I can run, or copy, or, whatever, that I can use to either figure out what the problem is on my own, or pastebin it for others here to help with? | 02:09 |
| coz_ | Takieda, you may want to try the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD it is NOT a live cd however,, at some point you will get a list of possible install options,, arrows to scroll and "Space" bar to tick a box | 02:09 |
| ubuntufreak21 | ok im really tired now im going to have to end the session for until tomorrow | 02:09 |
| Nobgul-bnc | ubuntufreak21, it is a free operating system that is open source, everything is community supported. No one get paid to help. I help because i know how hard it was for me years ago when i started using *nix. | 02:09 |
| coz_ | Takieda, since it is only 19 megs it is unlikely to get corrupted during download , however,, still c heck the md5sums | 02:09 |
| Takieda | coz_: thanks... my next step was to install it off of USB... | 02:10 |
| * Takieda has never learned how to check md5sums :( | 02:10 | |
| Nobgul-bnc | !hashes | Takieda | 02:10 |
| ubottu | Takieda: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 02:10 |
| coz_ | Takieda, this may work better for you since it is essnetially a net install...the system is downloaded and installed | 02:10 |
| Nobgul-bnc | !md5 | Takieda | 02:10 |
| ubottu | Takieda: 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 | 02:10 |
| mnemonic76 | ubuntufreak21: Your apology seems less sincere as you continue to be critical of the kind of help offered here for free. Do you expect the best, fastest, most personalized support for FREE on-demand 24-7? | 02:10 |
| Nobgul-bnc | its real easy | 02:10 |
| ubuntufreak21 | bye everyone sweet memories | 02:11 |
| Takieda | thanks Nobgul-bnc :) | 02:11 |
| coz_ | Takieda, the md5sum is on that link , , just make sure it matches | 02:11 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i hope my sorry is taken | 02:11 |
| Nobgul-bnc | Takieda, no worries once you get it down you will use it a lot. | 02:11 |
| ubuntufreak21 | by you all | 02:11 |
| ubuntufreak21 | sleep tight let the bed bugs bite | 02:11 |
| mnemonic76 | How can I do a manual install from a live cd without using Ubiquity? | 02:12 |
| mnemonic76 | It keeps crashing. | 02:12 |
| soreau | mnemonic76: Try the alternate iso? | 02:12 |
| coz_ | mnemonic76, or the minimal install cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:13 |
| tiago__ | what are symbolic links for? | 02:14 |
| coz_ | tiago__, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link | 02:14 |
| mnemonic76 | soreau: I have tried the minimal iso, and the hardware detect must have a bug. it won't detect the ATA disk, although if I execute a shell from the installer, fdisk sees the disk fine.... | 02:14 |
| altctrldel | I ran "sudo chown username /path/" and even with the -c argument and received the confirmation message, however, I am stil receiving the "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sf_F_DRIVE"." error. What else can I do? | 02:14 |
| nomad111 | hey all, what is the best way to get gnome 3.0 on ubuntu? is it still adding the gnome 3 team ppa? | 02:14 |
| soreau | mnemonic76: What about the alternate iso? | 02:15 |
| nomad111 | i do not wish to have gnome 2 installed on the side | 02:15 |
| zykotick9 | !gnome3 | nomad111 | 02:15 |
| ubottu | nomad111: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 02:15 |
| nomad111 | sigh... fair enough | 02:16 |
| soreau | grrrr | 02:16 |
| mnemonic76 | soreau: I have not tried the alternate yet. I thought it was the same basic thing as minimal, with the install files on the disc. I suppose it is worth a try. | 02:16 |
| soreau | banshee is not willing to play much of anything | 02:16 |
| altctrldel | Hello, can anyone help me with my question | 02:16 |
| baraki56_ | Hello | 02:16 |
| coz_ | mnemonic76, the minimal is a net install no packages on the disk | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | altctrldel, is this a FAT/NTFS mount by chance? | 02:16 |
| altctrldel | yes. it is on my windows 7 host | 02:17 |
| Takieda | altctrldel: don't ask to ask a question, just ask away :) | 02:17 |
| altctrldel | this is a virtual machine | 02:17 |
| altctrldel | Takieda: i did ask | 02:17 |
| baraki56_ | Abyssion: | 02:17 |
| altctrldel | i can access the files/folders as root in terminal | 02:17 |
| altctrldel | but not as my user | 02:17 |
| zykotick9 | altctrldel, then you are using an incorrect mount option. Sorry I can't personally help - but permission for NTFS is determined by the mount command you use. | 02:17 |
| altctrldel | evne though i have changed the permisisons | 02:17 |
| soreau | I installed banshee-extension-radiostationfetcher AND banshee-extension-liveradio but when I enable the extensions and plugins, it just says generic error for shoutcast and all the rest | 02:18 |
| soreau | what is wrong with this thing? | 02:18 |
| altctrldel | zykotick9: uh, but i can access it as root, so obviously it is being determind by ubuntu | 02:18 |
| zykotick9 | altctrldel, you can't change permission on NTFS using unix means | 02:18 |
| Takieda | altctrldel: sorry, didn't see your first post. checked above, and didn't realize I needed to scroll up :0p | 02:18 |
| altctrldel | zykotick9: i am changin a linux permission | 02:18 |
| zykotick9 | altctrldel, sorry unix/gnu-linux means | 02:19 |
| altctrldel | zykotick9: you are wrong | 02:19 |
| altctrldel | or you dont understand my problem | 02:19 |
| altctrldel | changed ownership of `sf_F_DRIVE' to username is the message I receive when I run chown but in the directory properties, root is still listed as the owner of the folder. | 02:21 |
| coz_ | soreau, I just installed both of those extensions,, here they seem to be working,, let me test each | 02:22 |
| soreau | coz_: I am trying this on 10.04 | 02:22 |
| coz_ | soreau, oh! ok then apparenlty there is a difference :( | 02:22 |
| rs08th | Hi there everyone, I was just wondering if it is a known bug that ubuntu installed on a USB flash drive will not be detected as a bootable volume by Mac OS X's startup manager (i.e., holding alt/option at boot of any Mac). I've tried it on two seperate | 02:26 |
| rs08th | intel machines. | 02:27 |
| soreau | coz_: Yea it seems to work in 11.04 but there is no shoutcast :P | 02:27 |
| coz_ | soreau, another "b0rken" which by the way is a small norwegian village just out side of "wonkers" | 02:28 |
| Prodego | so what exactly does $DISPLAY contain and mean? | 02:29 |
| jack__ | hi | 02:29 |
| soreau | coz_: Yea it only loaded the stations. It can't play anything but commercials so far :( | 02:30 |
| soreau | and it doesn't seem to be responding to clicks much on the stations list | 02:30 |
| soreau | ugh | 02:30 |
| coz_ | soreau, "b0rken" :) | 02:31 |
| soreau | coz_: suckage :/ | 02:32 |
| coz_ | :) | 02:32 |
| soreau | coz_: The really stupid thing is that lastfm player works, rhythmbox can play lastfm but in banshee, it requires a 'subscribed user' for lastfm | 02:32 |
| soreau | such a heeping pile of.. | 02:33 |
| soreau | heaping too | 02:33 |
| coz_ | soreau, for some reason I am still liking rhythmbox over banshee ,, even though banshee had a host of extensions | 02:33 |
| __sephiroth | hey clicking on random sites can sometimes give you viruses or install stuff on your computer correct? | 02:34 |
| coz_ | soreau, may install the banshee-extension-lastfmfingerprint ?? | 02:34 |
| acklee | coz_, soreau: what about Clementine oand Amarok? | 02:34 |
| zykotick9 | !virus | __sephiroth | 02:34 |
| ubottu | __sephiroth: 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 | 02:34 |
| __sephiroth | zykotick9, what about rootkits and trojans in software etc | 02:35 |
| coz_ | acklee, I do like clementine,, so far,, havent tested or checked for its extensions yet | 02:35 |
| soreau | coz_: acklee: Haven't tried those yet, thanks for the suggestions | 02:35 |
| __sephiroth | stop telling people ubuntu is invincible ... i don't believe it | 02:35 |
| zykotick9 | __sephiroth, they exist, but would probably require "sudo" to actually install. | 02:35 |
| __sephiroth | hmm i c | 02:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | __sephiroth: they require sudo to really be installed, and they are so few and far between its virtually invincible | 02:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | becuase there's no linux virus that targets ALL distributions | 02:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | and ALL derivatives of distributions | 02:36 |
| __sephiroth | so the more arcane your distro is the better... | 02:36 |
| soreau | coz_: there is no such package by that name | 02:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its more profitable for hackers and viruses to work, the more you'll see in those platforms. | 02:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | i.e. Windows and Mac are getting hammered now | 02:36 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | because they're far more widespread than Linux | 02:36 |
| coz_ | soreau, ooo there is here let me make sure I spelled it correctly | 02:36 |
| acklee | coz_, soreau: I prefer Clementine rather than Amarok, better try both first and let you decide.. | 02:36 |
| __sephiroth | TheEvilPhoenix, what happens when linux becomes widespread... | 02:37 |
| soreau | coz_: Only thing close is liblastfm-fingerprint0 | 02:37 |
| soreau | acklee: Aren't those kde-geared apps though? | 02:37 |
| coz_ | soreau, banshee-extension-lastfmfingerprint .. that may be it,, its suppose to correct metadat by querying Last.RM | 02:37 |
| coz_ | metadata | 02:37 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | __sephiroth: cant say, but it doesnt look like it'll be widespread any time soon :P | 02:37 |
| zykotick9 | TheEvilPhoenix, the fact that servers are more sought after then desktop PC, and the fact that gnu/linux rules in server land: suggests a slight flaw in your logic above. Gnu/Linux & BSDs are simply more secure then MS. | 02:38 |
| soreau | coz_: Ah it's only available in 11.04 repos, not 10.04 | 02:38 |
| __sephiroth | i luv gnuserland | 02:39 |
| coz_ | soreau, oh isnt that nice :( | 02:39 |
| acklee | soreau: Amarok yes KDE geared apps.. Clementine, I have no idea.. | 02:39 |
| soreau | I hate these music players. You click close and the process does not quit but the window disappears | 02:39 |
| soreau | Even if you have told it not to place a tray icon | 02:40 |

| qin | soreau: mocp? | 02:44 |
| stephenmac7 | Anyone get that? I was having issues getting my IRC client workin... | 02:45 |

| Flannel | stephenmac7: Yep. | 02:45 |
| soreau | qin: huh? | 02:45 |
| soreau | !info mocp | 02:45 |
| ubottu | Package mocp does not exist in natty | 02:45 |

| Fudge | !info mangler | 02:46 |
| ubottu | Package mangler does not exist in natty | 02:46 |
| zykotick9 | stephenmac7, you might want to verify you have the libcups2-dev package installed. I don't know if that will help however. | 02:46 |
| sweat | stephenmac7: what about irssi | 02:47 |
| stephenmac7 | I fixed it, I used xchat instead of webchat.freenode.net | 02:47 |
| acklee | soreau: oh no.. I never scrobbled anything to last.fm.. | 02:48 |
| stephenmac7 | Flannel, thank you! | 02:48 |
| villa | what is the difference bewteen xchat and webchat? | 02:48 |
| rww | villa: xchat is a program you install on your computer. webchat is a website. | 02:49 |
| stephenmac7 | rww: Exactly what I was going to say! :) | 02:49 |
| breath | What are u guys gettin ? | 02:49 |
| coz_ | villa, also , with xchat, you will have more control over settings, etc | 02:49 |
| breath | IRSSI is so mush butter ;) | 02:49 |
| villa | Is the nickname registered in webchat same with that in xchat? | 02:49 |
| rww | villa: yes | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7 | It depends on the server which in this case is freenode. | 02:50 |
| breath | Yep ;) | 02:50 |
| rww | s/server/network/ | 02:50 |
| breath | What do u get ?? | 02:50 |
| villa | but why can't I login with the nickname registered in webchat? | 02:50 |
| stephenmac7 | Did you /msg NickServ identify? | 02:51 |
| villa | it shows msg "invalid passwd" | 02:51 |
| renaldocreative | Hello everyone | 02:51 |
| kevin_ | try using the correct password | 02:51 |
| sweat | villa: there is a #freenode channel--they love to answer those questions | 02:51 |
| villa | I think it is the exact passwd | 02:51 |
| breath | villa: why do u use webchat instead of xchat ? what's ur aims maybe there's other options | 02:51 |
| stephenmac7 | I didn't feel like installing xchat | 02:51 |
| stephenmac7 | Well, anyways: Bye! | 02:52 |
| rww | villa: it's evidently not, since it's saying "invalid password". Anyway, go ask #freenode about it. | 02:52 |
| villa | Actually I am a fresh man here. so I wanna try any appropriate options | 02:53 |
| villa | ok. thanks | 02:53 |
| rww | given that the nickserv registration for 'villa' is from two years ago under a different host, that likely isn't you | 02:53 |
| breath | villa : try irssi :) | 02:53 |
| villa | how could you "villa" was registered two years ago? | 02:54 |
| villa | how could you know that "villa" was registered two years ago? | 02:55 |
| breath | he means ur nickname is villa ur username isn't :( | 02:55 |
| rww | villa: /msg nickserv info villa | 02:55 |
| rww | anyway, this is offtopic for #ubuntu. Go talk to #freenode ;) | 02:55 |
| rww | and I meant last seen, not registered | 02:56 |
| villa | ok I see. Thanks | 02:56 |
| villa | I think I should abandon this nickname | 02:57 |

| RadarG | I was wondering if it would be possible to create a bootable thumb drive that would boot directly into a rdp seesion ( windows box) | 03:02 |
| centHOGG | semi-serious | 03:02 |
| coz_ | dianna, what are you trying to download? | 03:02 |
| soreau | ! lts | 03:03 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 03:03 |
| sweat | dianna: firefox has a built in download manager with pause and resume capability | 03:03 |
| edbian | RadarG: Is there a linux equivalent of rdp? | 03:03 |
| edbian | soreau: ? | 03:03 |
| soreau | What is the next LTS release? | 03:03 |
| dianna | like i try to download something so once its downloaded when i try to go on it it doesnt let me | 03:03 |

| edbian | gpeterso: You should have asked for my help 4 hours ago! :)\ | 03:15 |
| ashly | Hi, | 03:15 |
| ashly | I installed Ubuntu (Karmic Koala) on my Compaq Presario V5000 laptop. Everything except the Mouse works fine. I even got the wireless working. The mouse freezes quite often. The symptoms are that at seemingly random times, all of the buttons stop working on the mouse, usually when I am using firefox. When this happens, the system will respond to keystrokes. This happens with both the touchpad mouse and an external mouse. The CPU doesn't see | 03:15 |
| ashly | m to be spiking. The mouse button will work again after a while if I just keep clicking the left and right buttons over and over again. Sometimes it wont come back and I have to reboot. This has gotten so annoying that I am ready to install another OS. Can anyone point me to a thread for this issue, or is there a fix? I've searched and it seems others have the same problem, but I haven't seen any solution | 03:15 |

| edbian | ashly: That's not really your fault. You didn't know the message would split. You should make a forum post and then show us that. I'm going to read what you wrote now. | 03:16 |
| balaji_ | coz_,edbian: thank you:) now works. i am silly guy... didnt check in settings instead thinking of some problem in compiz & reinstalled those. | 03:16 |
| edbian | balaji_: Sure :) Silly guy you! | 03:17 |
| coz_ | balaji_, no problem,,, at some point you can meet me in #compiz,, I can walk you t hrough a complete basic ccsm set up for compiz | 03:17 |
| lapion | if anyone wants to know as far as I can throw the proverbial stone in the google pond there is only the possibility to use oovoo in a emulated windows box | 03:18 |

| coz_ | ^^ | 03:19 |
| edbian | shutdown -h now | 03:20 |
| Rotham_ | great thanks | 03:20 |
| ashly | i looked up theproblem and they said that you should- add a specific command lin- update Bios- add to boot line (from older advice)- replace Karmic with earlier version (but some of these had same bugs)roll back to an earlier version of Firefox- hope that Ubuntu finds a fix to this bug | 03:20 |
| lapion | Rotham_, as long as you do not sudo -i, the privileges will drop after a couple of minutes | 03:20 |
| Rotham_ | ah k cool | 03:20 |
| ashly | is that right | 03:20 |
| lapion | ashly, how much ram does your system have ? | 03:21 |

| edbian | yes! | 03:22 |

| ashly | sweat; how do you get it | 03:23 |

| ashly | lol | 03:23 |
| sweat | you purge it and then remove it | 03:23 |
| ashly | thankyou | 03:23 |

| sweat | Kirill: where is your root as in which device is it and did fstab change with the update | 03:37 |
| ubuntunoobie2903 | The text is missing for several of the programs that I have installed using wine. Is there any solution to this? | 03:38 |

| Takieda | it appears the MD5 checksums WERE wrong after all :( | 03:40 |

| Takieda | I wonder what caused the problem. | 03:42 |
| gpeterso | I'm setting up a computer for my wife and she used Gmail Notifier (or whatever that thing is) on Windows. What is the Ubuntu equivalent? | 03:42 |
| van7hu | gpeterso, the same in ubuntu | 03:43 |
| coz_ | gpeterso, there are a few ,, there is a firefox plugin name gmail manager | 03:43 |
| sweat | NewtoLinux: i routinely fsck with shutdown -r -F now | 03:43 |
| sweat | NewtoLinux: there is also sudo touch /forcefsck | 03:43 |
| NewtoLinux | sweat: wish I could do that but it won't execute shutdown command from initramsfs prompt neither touch /forecefsck will work there | 03:44 |
| sweat | NewtoLinux: i suspected, but if the file system is not mounted badblocks is a utility i would try to use on it, or testdisk | 03:44 |
| mrdeb | does anyone know how to make all folders on ext2 sd card writable by all | 03:45 |
| NewtoLinux | sweat: ok thanks, will look into that | 03:45 |
| mrdeb | i need an answer quickly please thanks | 03:46 |
| qin | mrdeb: chmod -R 777 /your/card ? | 03:47 |
| mrdeb | what is -R do | 03:47 |
| mrdeb | wow that worked thank you | 03:48 |
| qin | mrdeb: man chmod, -R stands for recrusive | 03:48 |
| gpeterso | van7hu, coz_: I found gmail-notify.sourceforge.net, but CheckGMail looks, maybe a little more popular. | 03:48 |
| mrdeb | so that means everyone can write and read | 03:48 |
| mrdeb | ? | 03:48 |
| mrdeb | how about chown, should i do that | 03:48 |
| qin | mrdeb: No point to chown it. | 03:49 |
| mrdeb | well i did it before | 03:49 |
| mrdeb | is that gonna be a problem | 03:49 |
| el_seano | mrdeb: nah, it'll be fine | 03:49 |
| qin | mrdeb: But write means also ability to remove data | 03:49 |
| mrdeb | yes | 03:49 |
| mrdeb | thanks homie | 03:49 |
| el_seano | mrdeb: google ACL for more info. In short, there are three levels of permissions: Owner, Group, Everything Else. | 03:50 |
| === wilson_ is now known as Guest54369 | ||

| Reighnakj | Hello. | 03:55 |
| Reighnakj | I just installed WoW on my my desktop with ubuntu and I am having troubles with memeory now. | 03:55 |
| Reighnakj | Could anyone help me? | 03:55 |
| centHOGG | yeah make a bigger swap file | 03:56 |
| Reighnakj | contHOGG: how? | 03:56 |
| Reighnakj | centHOGG | 03:56 |
| centHOGG | google swapon and linux swap | 03:56 |
| zykotick9 | mrdeb, FYI applying 777 recursively is usually NOT a good idea! You just set all files as executable. qin | 03:56 |
| mrdeb | ok zykotick9, how do i do it read and write only without exec | 03:57 |
| zykotick9 | mrdeb, you can't do it recursively, as you DO want 777 for the directories, just not the files | 03:57 |
| rww | chmod +R ugo+rwX | 03:57 |
| rww | s/+/-/ | 03:57 |
| mrdeb | ok | 03:58 |
| mrdeb | why does it says the owner is owner #1000?? | 03:58 |
| __sephiroth | why when running ifconfig i see one address but on a site that gives me my ip address i see a totally differnt one? | 03:58 |
| zykotick9 | rww, does the captial X actually change based on directory/files? | 03:58 |
| dangertux | __sephiroth, this is probably because you are behind a NAT router, the site is showing your external IP address. ifconfig will show the internal private address. | 03:59 |
| zykotick9 | __sephiroth, if you are using NAT, that would make sense: interinal vs external | 03:59 |
| mrdeb | that didndt work rww | 03:59 |
| rww | zykotick9: +X sets the execute bit if 1) the file is a directory or 2) the file is already executable for some user | 03:59 |
| __sephiroth | zykotick9, dangertux, that makes sense | 04:00 |
| rww | zykotick9: I haven't been paying attention, so additional stuff may be needed for this situation, iono. | 04:00 |
| zykotick9 | rww, neat. thanks. | 04:00 |
| mrdeb | chmod invalid mode +R | 04:00 |
| mrdeb | what does that mean | 04:00 |
| rww | mrdeb: -R, not +R | 04:00 |
| rww | I typo'd | 04:00 |
| Reighnakj | centHOGG: will that make a partition that WoW will run out of? | 04:01 |
| centHOGG | nah idk | 04:01 |
| mrdeb | they are still all executable now | 04:01 |
| centHOGG | much about WoW.. except it's sposed to be played on windows | 04:01 |
| mrdeb | and part of group 1000 | 04:01 |
| mrdeb | what is group 1000 | 04:01 |
| Reighnakj | I am using Wine. | 04:01 |
| mrdeb | why did this happen when loading the sd card from a new distro | 04:02 |
| mrdeb | it worked before | 04:02 |
| Reighnakj | It says I have very low memory. | 04:02 |
| Reighnakj | Low Disk Space "This computer has only 3.5 MB disk space remaining." | 04:03 |
| Reighnakj | All I have installed is Firestarter, Wine, and WoW. | 04:03 |

| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| rww | dangertux: it's not receiving security updates, I'd consider that broken personally. | 04:09 |
| dangertux | rww , that's a very valid point -- but for a desktop system it's not the end all be all. | 04:09 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest91710 | ||
| clean | rww: my 9.04 also can't get any more security update, it tells me to upgrade | 04:10 |
| dangertux | rww , if security updates are important to you then LTS is the place to be. | 04:10 |
| rww | clean: That's because 9.04 is end of lifed. | 04:11 |
| rww | !eol | 04:11 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 04:11 |
| rww | dangertux: or do upgrades :P | 04:11 |
| dangertux | rww , to each their own I suppose :-) | 04:11 |
| clean | rww: LTS maybe a good choice | 04:12 |
| clean | rww: I am considering LTS | 04:12 |
| Reighnak | Are there any fun projects you can do on Ubuntu to get reading for a Linux/Unix Administration Class? | 04:13 |
| dangertux | Don't get me wrong , I'm not a massive Unity hater, I just prefer the stability of LTS. | 04:13 |
| rww | clean: might be a good idea, yes | 04:13 |
| dangertux | Reighnak , LDAP, LAMP, Virtualization, Samba, to name a few | 04:13 |
| Reighnak | just google those? | 04:13 |
| dangertux | Reighnak , you may want to practice implementing them as well. | 04:14 |
| clean | rww: Server LTS can get 5 years support, do you think it suitable to install a server edition on pc ? | 04:14 |
| MagusOTB | What's the terminal command to runthe startup disk maker thing? | 04:14 |
| Reighnak | dangertux: Do I look them up on google to figure them out then try them? | 04:14 |
| MagusOTB | I don't have gnome, so I don't have the menu, but I know I have it somewhere. | 04:14 |
| dangertux | clean , that is something people do, you can still install a desktop environment for it | 04:14 |
| clean | dangertux: nice !:) | 04:14 |
| kaellan | emm, do i need firewall and antivirus wen uing ubuntu ? :O | 04:15 |
| dangertux | Reighnak , I would research them, check out some of the howtos for them and set them up break them fix them, really depends on how much time you have. | 04:15 |
| Reighnak | alright | 04:15 |
| Reighnak | ty | 04:15 |
| zykotick9 | !virus | kaellan | 04:15 |
| ubottu | kaellan: 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 | 04:15 |
| dangertux | Reighnak , no problem and good luck with your class =) | 04:15 |
| rww | clean: Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server have the same requirements, and will run on the same equipment. The difference as far as support periods is concerned is that the 5 year thing is only for certain packages, not including any of the graphical desktop environment stuff | 04:15 |
| Reighnak | I have until spring semester, so I should have time. | 04:15 |
| Reighnak | I will be back. | 04:15 |
| Reighnak | :-D | 04:15 |
| dangertux | Am I the only one that thinks that the "you don't need anti-virus" thing sounds a little too much like Mac OS X pre Mac Defender? lol.. | 04:16 |
| clean | rww: oh, but I think support for security updates is enough | 04:16 |
| rww | clean: or, to phrase it another way, you'll receive security updates for desktop environments for the same length of time on both Ubuntu Server LTS and Ubuntu LTS: 3 years | 04:17 |
| centHOGG | hilarious | 04:17 |
| dangertux | rww , do you happen to know or have handy end of life date for 10.04? | 04:17 |
| dangertux | desktop* | 04:17 |
| mrdeb | 2013 | 04:17 |

| Prodego | dangertux: I wouldn't really call it a virus | 04:19 |
| rww | mrdeb: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please stick to talking about Ubuntu and supported derivatives, thanks. | 04:19 |
| Prodego | if you install it, then it isn't really a virus | 04:19 |
| centHOGG | Prodego: ditto | 04:19 |
| clean | rww: maybe I should upgrade my END-OF-LIFE 9.04 to Server 10.04 LTS, do you think this is better ? | 04:19 |
| dangertux | Prodego , I know Mac Defender isn't a virus , however Mac loves to claim that there is no malware for their OS , a lot like Ubuntu users, it was a loose corellation but there none the same. | 04:19 |
| dangertux | none the less* | 04:19 |
| Prodego | well there is malware for macs obviously :) | 04:19 |
| dangertux | clearly ;-) | 04:20 |
| rww | clean: sure | 04:20 |
| Prodego | if there are exploits in the much less feature filled phone OSes though, you can be sure OSX has some too | 04:20 |
| dangertux | I personally don't believe in jynxing a good thing. At this moment, we don't have the issues of the Windows world malware wise, but I feel if we flaunt it that may change. Call me weird :-P | 04:20 |
| Prodego | so I wouldn't say Macs are virus proof at all | 04:20 |
| qin | dangertux: Ubuntu have potential malware, netcat is nice example, but it tent to be off-topic | 04:20 |
| dangertux | Prodego , IOS is a nightmare lol. | 04:20 |
| dangertux | qin , netcat isn't really malware . | 04:21 |
| dangertux | qin , however it can be used for malicious purposes. Then again so can Open Office | 04:21 |
| qin | dangertux: Depense how will you use it... still off-topic | 04:21 |
| === derp|fireworks is now known as derp | ||
| dangertux | qin , that was my point -- just because something can be used to a malicious end does not make it malware ;-) | 04:22 |

| HackNewton | greenmang0, so i think its better try that out | 04:54 |
| zykotick9 | greenmang0, just log the use out and back in | 04:54 |
| zykotick9 | s/use/user/ | 04:54 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: did u manually write this? is there a chance of typos? | 04:54 |
| Reighnak | Yes, there could be. | 04:54 |

| mintux | my compiz is not active . how can I active that ? | 04:56 |
| nightrid3r | HackNewton pocketsphinx or flite | 04:56 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, alt+f2 "compiz --replace" | 04:56 |
| HackNewton | nightrid3r, thanks but which one you recommand ? | 04:57 |
| Reighnak | atomicfusion: http://pastebin.com/eRqvEgW8 | 04:57 |
| mintux | zykotick9: when I do this my windows doesn't have border | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, compiz is failing then. | 04:57 |
| nightrid3r | HackNewton the one that works best for you | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, what graphics card are you using? | 04:57 |
| mintux | zykotick9: so what shall I do? | 04:57 |
| Reighnak | atomicfusion: my worries are the 2nd to last line where there is a . after swap and then the 3rd to last line where there is.. | 04:57 |
| mintux | zykotick9: Nvidia | 04:57 |
| Reighnak | a space after the work disk. | 04:57 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, have you installed the driver? | 04:58 |
| mintux | zykotick9: yes | 04:58 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: "/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap sw 0 0" | 04:58 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: i would suggest setting that as your second to last line, but im just guessing | 04:58 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, what card specfically? "lscpi | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure | 04:58 |
| HackNewton | nightrid3r, i was trying to avoid download time :) so asked | 04:58 |

| Reighnak | Please. | 05:00 |
| mintux | zykotick9: http://codepad.org/uSSQZBYx | 05:00 |
| Reighnak | I was told to add a swap file and I needed to add a line to fstab to make it work and I messed it up I think. | 05:00 |

| twobitsprite | I'm have a strange problem on a friend's computers... I'm trying to install something from CD and in the middle of installing, it asks for you to put the cd in... but it's in alraedy | 05:02 |
| twobitsprite | when I reinsert the disk and try to mount it, it says the mountpoint doesn't exist... I check and sure enough /mnt the directory doesn't exist any more | 05:02 |
| twobitsprite | I have to "mkdir /mnt" again, and remount | 05:03 |
| dli | twobitsprite, maybe, something wrong with cd-rom driver, I would try to install from USB | 05:03 |
| atomicfusion | twobitsprite: are you manually mounting the cd, or is it via nautilus? | 05:03 |

| balaji_ | when using ubuntu classic(gnome with compiz effects). Title bar,window borders are not displaying. but when i run compiz in other environment(like ubuntu classic(no effects)) it works fine. what is the problem? | 05:04 |
| twobitsprite | atomicfusion: manually mounting... for some reason automount doesn't seem to be working | 05:04 |
| anadon | how do I install win 7 on a disk which uses GUID and has 10.10 already installed? | 05:04 |
| atomicfusion | twobitsprite: does it have to be off this cd? is it windows software? | 05:04 |
| twobitsprite | atomicfusion: it's Diablo 2 expansion CD | 05:05 |
| anadon | win7 pro x64 dvd | 05:05 |
| atomicfusion | anadon: you need free space on your harddrive, which you can make by installing and using gparted | 05:05 |
| xangua | balaji_: run: metacity --replace & , and then enable compiz again: compiz --replace & | 05:05 |
| twobitsprite | atomicfusion: installing with wine | 05:06 |
| atomicfusion | twobitsprite: you could try copying it onto the disk | 05:06 |
| Reighnak | I am using the vi command to open /etc/fstab. How do I edit then save? | 05:06 |
| atomicfusion | twobitsprite: "dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/path/to/file" | 05:06 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: after opening it, press i | 05:07 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, may i recommend "sudo nano /etc/fstab" if you aren't familiar with vi | 05:07 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: when ur done, press escape, and then :w, and then :q | 05:07 |
| Reighnak | alright | 05:07 |
| zykotick9 | atomicfusion, fyi you can use :wq together | 05:07 |
| atomicfusion | zykotick9: i actually use nano :), but thanks | 05:08 |
| HackNewton | Reighnak, use i to start editing in vi to save content use :wq to save and quite | 05:08 |
| Abhijit | Reighnak, try nano its very easy | 05:08 |
| Reighnak | Alright, I used nano, typed the lines, now what? | 05:09 |
| Reighnak | What do the ^& mean? | 05:09 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: where? | 05:10 |
| Reighnak | like "^G Get Help" | 05:10 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnak: its help | 05:10 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, ^ means control - so ctrl+o to write | 05:10 |
| Abhijit | Reighnak, ctrl X. read the prompt at the bottoms. | 05:10 |
| mintux | zykotick9: I saw this http://www.img4up.com/up2/59211603040731145964.png | 05:10 |
| Reighnakz | How do I save the file in nano? | 05:11 |
| zykotick9 | mintux, so you're using 270 which is certainly a new version of the nvidia driver. Sorry, I don't know why compiz is failing on you. Best of luck. | 05:11 |
| mrdeb | ctrl o | 05:11 |
| atomicfusion | control+x | 05:11 |
| mrdeb | no atom, its ctrl o to write then ctrol x to exit | 05:12 |
| Reighnakz | ctrl o gave me an erorr "[ Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system ]" | 05:12 |
| atomicfusion | mrdeb: realized that after i said it, but exit prompts to save if unsaved | 05:12 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, read-only file system -- is this on a livecd? | 05:12 |
| Reighnakz | I don't know. | 05:12 |
| atomicfusion | how did you get to where you are? | 05:13 |
| Reighnakz | I am trying to put and it is failing to mount. I press M for manual recovery and get to a command line as root# | 05:13 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, did you start Ubuntu from a LiveCD or a hard drive? | 05:13 |
| Reighnakz | hard drive | 05:13 |
| Abhijit | Reighnak, the prompts at the bottom are for you to read. thats why its called easy. you do not need to remmeber all the shortcuts. | 05:13 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, i think you have your / partition mounted in read only mode then... | 05:14 |
| cjohnston | Could someone help me figure out why my laptop isn't connecting to wifi? The drivers are installed, it sees the network, even with no network security it wont connect.. I have a Broadcom BCM4312 | 05:14 |

| irreverant | cjohnston what does terminal say when you type ifconfig | 05:15 |
| Reighnakz | should I type mount? | 05:16 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, "mount | grep sda" would probably be the one line we need | 05:16 |
| atomicfusion | Reighnakz: where | is the character above your enter key | 05:17 |
| cjohnston | irreverant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/641133/ | 05:17 |

| orethrius | xangua, I'm well aware of the risks of bleeding-edge... but could this be a regression since Mav? | 05:20 |
| orethrius | It certainly didn't work under Lucid. | 05:20 |
| zykotick9 | Reighnak, /dev/loop0 something is very non-standard here! I hope someone else has some background of your issue. Good luck. | 05:20 |
| cjohnston | irreverant: other than editing the connection how do i do that | 05:21 |
| Reighnakz | at the end of the mount command it says"mount: warning" /etc/mtab is not writable (e.g. read-only filesystem). It's possible that information reported by mount(8) is not up to date. For actual information about system mount points check the /proc/mounts file." | 05:22 |

| Kuzad | I would just like to send a message to any of the developers of the last 3 Ubuntu releases. Thank you. Thank you for designing a Linux distribution that fails constantly on multiple devices. Thank you for focusing on "Looking good" rather than creating a system that could still be customized. Thank you for focusing on releasing 10.10 in a way that it lines up with a binary number, rather than releasing it correctly: when it was ready | 05:24 |
| Kuzad | . Thank you for making me HATE Linux itself. Thank you for jumping the shark with Unity. Thank you for teaching me to use sarcasm, and finally, thank you to any of the idiots who think they will be witty by saying "You're welcome." You prove my point that this Distribution, and the users, are not worthwhile. | 05:24 |
| Kuzad | That is all. | 05:24 |
| xangua | ... | 05:24 |
| cjohnston | irreverant: edit /etc/sysctl.conf ? | 05:24 |

| Abhijit | Kuzad, this is open source. you are legally free and invited to improve and share the improvements. | 05:26 |
| Abhijit | rather than just complaining | 05:26 |
| orethrius | Know what, Kuzad? I've been banging my head against a wireless problem that I've actually seen work in 10.10, so I know there's some good out there. It's just community-supported, so responsiveness isn't exactly what it could be. | 05:26 |
| Reighnakz | Could someone help.. | 05:27 |
| Kuzad | Abbhijit, it's a bit hard when one of the system's default programs fills the RAM of your system, forcing you to do a hard reset, which makes X.org become disabled. | 05:27 |
| Reighnakz | I am getting an error"An error occurred while mount <br /> Press S to skip mounting or Mm for manual recovery" | 05:27 |
| orethrius | Kuzad: Either something's seriously wrong, or you need more RAM. | 05:27 |
| Abhijit | Kuzad, if you have a proper constructive discussion to do bugs to report then take it to #ubuntu-devel otherwise take it to #ubuntu-offtopic. not here. | 05:27 |
| Kuzad | 2 Gigabytes, orethrius. | 05:28 |
| Kuzad | And I will, thank you Abhijit. | 05:28 |

| Kuzad | Now, assuming I have not worn out my welcome by stating what I felt I needed to say, I would like to know if it is possible to force the LiveCD to boot into a console only mode, so I can see what is causing me to have a constant black screen for an hour after a certain part of the boot process. | 05:29 |

| godofmischief | is your sound over hdmi? | 05:43 |
| Kuzad | erry, my Xorg screws up any time I do a hard reset, to the point where I have to reinstall. | 05:43 |
| tallguy | cypher, have you tried a fresh install of natty, instead of an upgrade of the distro? | 05:43 |
| erry | no | 05:43 |
| Cyypher | as far as sound goes i used to have an issue if i was playing a game and listening to music because the driver i was using tookk control over the sound makeing the first one that was opend not work. | 05:44 |
| tallguy | mine would only max to 1024x768 with an upgrade, but a fresh install set it at the max for the macbook 1280x800 | 05:44 |
| erry | My sound used to work | 05:44 |
| erry | but now it doesnt anymore | 05:44 |

| rww | okays, take the hilarity to #ubuntu-offtopic please :P | 05:55 |
| orethrius | That's TWO movie refs for you. ;) | 05:55 |
| rww | nmesis: ask #fedora | 05:55 |
| Cyypher | nicly done | 05:55 |
| tallguy | cypher, if you can't get network manager to work, install wicd from apt, it might work for you, i used it to get my macbook working under maverick distro | 05:55 |
| Cyypher | what distro are you guy running? | 05:55 |
| tallguy | natty now | 05:55 |
| Cyypher | guys/girls* | 05:55 |
| Cyypher | you like it? | 05:56 |
| rww | Fedora, hence me being in #ubuntu. | 05:56 |
| orethrius | Cyypher: I don't even know anymore... I think it's Natty, but the USB swears it's Oneiric... | 05:56 |
| Cyypher | im supprised you believe your usb since your wifi is on the fritz | 05:56 |
| tallguy | i'll brb | 05:56 |
| orethrius | Cyypher: It's Broadcom, when is it ever *not* on the fritz? ;) | 05:57 |
| smoke | Hello | 05:57 |
| Cyypher | lol, try Mediacom once. you will run back to Broadcom | 05:57 |
| Cyypher | Hey Smoke | 05:57 |
| orethrius | Cyypher: No thanks, I had my fill of weird bugs with early Orinoco. | 05:57 |
| smoke | I am trying to use Compizconfig, the effects are not showing up, could I get some help with that? | 05:57 |
| tp43 | how do play movies with mplayer on your desktop, if you telnet from you laptop | 05:58 |
| zykotick9 | tp43, when both debian channel fail - try ubuntu eh? | 05:59 |
| Cyypher | i could help you a bit smoke, but im not to savvy on the tecnical verbage yet | 05:59 |
| tallguy | tp43, can you use ssh instead? | 05:59 |
| tp43 | friggin groupies | 05:59 |
| tsimpson | tp43: make sure you run "export DISPLAY=:0" before running mplayer, that will then show the mplayer window on the system you telnet in-to | 05:59 |
| orethrius | tp43: Technically, you'd need an app that can take remote commands; as far as I know, that's why I'm trying XBMC and Moovida to different degrees. | 05:59 |
| smoke | Alright that's fine Cyypher. | 05:59 |
| === nmesis is now known as nmsis | ||
| orethrius | tp43: Or, wht tsimpson said. ;) | 05:59 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, thanks. so I didn't forget the command, but its not working for some reason. Thanks | 05:59 |
| smoke | I have enabled all the settings, but I don't see any of the effects, am I supposed to restart? | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | tallguy, at least someone here made the correct comment ;) Nice. | 06:00 |
| tallguy | thanks zykotick9 | 06:01 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, is that one command? $export DISPLAY:=0 mplayer movie.avi? | 06:01 |
| jacky121 | hello, does my ubuntu consume less resources if i leave it in console mode while i'm away? | 06:01 |
| tsimpson | tp43: no, run export first, then mplayer | 06:01 |
| tsimpson | tp43: or just "DISPLAY=:0 mplayer ..." | 06:01 |
| orethrius | Unless *someone* means ssh -X, which is the exact opposite of what tp43 requested... -_- | 06:01 |
| Kuzad | Okay screw this I'm reinstalling Winblows. | 06:02 |
| orethrius | ...bearing in mind, that not every video player is SSH-friendly, either. Unfortunately. | 06:02 |
| tsimpson | this is all assuming you are logged into the remote machine with X running on display :0 | 06:02 |
| orethrius | Bye, Kuzad. XD | 06:02 |
| tp43 | hmm, must be something wrong with my desktop or laptop, cause it goes wild with failed to kill lines and I have to close the window | 06:03 |
| atomicfusion | kazud: have fun, it's not like there are other linux distrobutions or ubuntu versions out there | 06:03 |
| tsimpson | mplayer works fine over ssh, I use my phone as a ssh remote control all the time :D | 06:03 |
| kevin_ | tsimpson: same :p | 06:03 |
| FaeLLe | hello all, how can i pass an initrd parameter in grub2 ? | 06:03 |
| tp43 | I guess I will learn ssh one day | 06:03 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Let's just say that a brick flew through that window. XD | 06:03 |
| FaeLLe | i tried reading the manual on gnu.org but i cant figure it out | 06:03 |
| tallguy | jacky121: probably, but unless you have a really old comp, shouldnt have to worry too much | 06:04 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Rhyming joke. ;) | 06:04 |
| tsimpson | tp43: ssh is exactly the same as telnet, but using encrypted connections | 06:04 |
| tp43 | But I will have to get up and do apt-get install ssh on the server first | 06:04 |
| tp43 | ok, let me try. but I wonder why telnet doesn't work now when it used to | 06:04 |
| tsimpson | you're logged in over telnet, just run it from where you are... | 06:04 |
| tallguy | natty can connect via the gui in ssh, whereas i don't think it can via telnet | 06:04 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: nice one | 06:05 |
| jacky121 | tallguy it's not old, but when i download for more than few hours in the summer, the laptop shuts down because it's hot | 06:05 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: ty, I figured I'd be slightly nicer than speaking my whole mind... XD | 06:05 |
| === arrrrcanum42 is now known as Guest54854 | ||
| zykotick9 | tallguy, nautilus has been able to connect to ssh since at least Lucid, probably earlier as well | 06:05 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, yeah, I know, I realised that a sec too late | 06:06 |
| tallguy | jacky121: google your model of laptop and see if you have to make modifications to get your cpu fan working properly | 06:06 |
| orethrius | zykotick9: And even before that, you had Thunar and Dolphin... not sure if Konq could, though. | 06:06 |
| tallguy | jacky121: if you can't get it working, you can always hibernate | 06:07 |
| jacky121 | thanks tallguy | 06:07 |
| tallguy | sure, good luck | 06:07 |
| tsimpson | orethrius: konqueror has been able to connect to ssh for... ever... | 06:07 |
| tsimpson | and just about any other "protocol" you can think of | 06:07 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: A. back in the day, and B. I never fully used KDE to know that. ;) | 06:07 |
| tp43 | what is the ssh server package name for apt-get install? | 06:07 |
| FaeLLe | how can i pass an initrd parameter in grub2 ? just cannot figure it out | 06:08 |
| rww | tp43: openssh-server | 06:08 |
| tallguy | tp43, use sudo apt-cache search ssh | 06:08 |
| tsimpson | tp43: "ssh" or "openssh-server", the former installs the client and server | 06:08 |
| atomicfusion | FaeLLe: what do you mean? | 06:08 |
| atomicfusion | FaeLLe: the init script (in initrd) can read the kernel command line | 06:08 |
| tp43 | tallguy, there were so many results | 06:08 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: At least it's a known unknown, on my part. XD | 06:08 |
| tallguy | tp43: lol yeah, go with tsimpson's advice | 06:09 |
| tallguy | just wanted you to know how to find stuff for the future using terminal | 06:09 |
| tsimpson | FaeLLe: see the "Editing the GRUB 2 Menu During Boot" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 06:09 |
| orethrius | Maybe I burned out one of the NIC's LEDs. That'd certainly explain... A LOT. | 06:10 |
| tp43 | hmm ssh auto enters your login | 06:10 |
| tallguy | tp43: you can always send the output to a txt file, can type sudo apt-cache search ssh > ~/Desktop/ssh.txt | 06:10 |
| tp43 | actaully I was using more, but so many ssh programs are out there, I was expecting to find sshd | 06:11 |
| tallguy | i think you can sshfs using terminal, and not the gui | 06:11 |
| tallguy | it will mount the remote system at a mount point you specify | 06:11 |
| tsimpson | sshfs does not help you run programs on the remote host though | 06:11 |
| tallguy | oh ok, don't do that then lol | 06:12 |
| tp43 | when I do ssh ip-desktop, it doesn't prompt me to enter username, instead it uses my laptop's username | 06:12 |
| tsimpson | tp43: ssh user@host | 06:12 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: Beat me to it, lol | 06:12 |
| atomicfusion | tp43: or use the -l USER option | 06:12 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, sweet | 06:12 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Just out of curiosity, say as a prank, do you think it'd be possible to pass -l USER as the USER argument, to infinite recursion? | 06:13 |
| tp43 | Alright, I am ssh'n. So now to play mplayer, I should export DISPLAY=:0 again probably | 06:13 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: I suppose I'm more curious about those things, since I know they're fairly dumb ways to preoccupy a processor. XD | 06:14 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: im missing what ur sayin | 06:14 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Pass ssh -l USER where USER is 'l USER', to where that loop never ends. | 06:14 |
| tsimpson | orethrius: nope | 06:14 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: what would you do, make a modified ssh? | 06:14 |
| tp43 | same thing happens as telnet, I even tried ssh -X user@desktop-IP | 06:15 |
| tsimpson | at least, not without a lot of hassle | 06:15 |
| atomicfusion | tp43: whatabout -Y? | 06:15 |
| tsimpson | tp43: the -X flag forwards X to your local system | 06:15 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Actually, I was thinking a for loop, with $i being defined as the user -l USER... | 06:15 |
| tsimpson | tp43: do you have a user logged in on the desktop, running X? | 06:15 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, oh, I see, cool, didn't work that way either though, I get a bunch of 'failed to kill' lines | 06:15 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: But then, I'm not well-versed inf creating infinite loops on-the-flly. | 06:16 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, yep | 06:16 |
| atomicfusion | tp43: dont use -Y unless you trust root on the remote system, however | 06:16 |
| Bipul | -g express <--- this one is in ubuntu repositoriy | 06:16 |
| orethrius | I always trust root, regardless of where I'm connecting. Not once has he steered me wrong. | 06:16 |
| tsimpson | tp43: try just running xterm and pastebin the error output | 06:16 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: while true; do $0& :) | 06:17 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, can't open display. display is not set | 06:17 |
| tsimpson | atomicfusion: best not to post "dumb" commands here | 06:17 |
| tsimpson | tp43: did you run "export DISPLAY=:0"? | 06:17 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: Relax, I have Virtualbox for that... ;) | 06:17 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: Not going to fire it up for that, though. Waste of time. ;) | 06:18 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, it returned fine, but I dont see xterm on either screen | 06:18 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: feel free to login to my server and put lots of personal information in locations ONLY accessible to you and root | 06:18 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Don't tempt me, I'll plant info guiding you to a Fed's doorstep. XD | 06:18 |
| tsimpson | tp43: is there only one user logged in to the desktop system? | 06:19 |
| tp43 | maybe I'll give it a reboot | 06:19 |
| svchost1 | did you know if you have bad vision, putting pressure on two sides (or sometimes top/bottom) of your eyes (kinda like squeezing the eye very gently) can actually refocus your eye and make your vision much better? it stops once you stop doing it, but.. | 06:19 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, just one, and then when I ssh two. both same user | 06:19 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: "How did you come by this information again? What's this LUNIX? Some commie OS?" XD | 06:19 |
| mrdeb | svchost1: hold on let me try | 06:20 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, maybe I just need a reboot, do I need to be logged to try all this, or can I just telnet even when the system is in the gdm menu? | 06:20 |
| svchost1 | lol, be very gentle | 06:20 |
| orethrius | OH GOD MY EYES why did I listen to a strange man in an online chat room | 06:20 |
| tp43 | sorry, ssh | 06:20 |
| svchost1 | very very gentle | 06:20 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: lol, just no cp plz, i dont have encryption on my server yet | 06:20 |
| mrdeb | wow it kind of works | 06:20 |
| mrdeb | but now i see green when i blink | 06:20 |
| tsimpson | tp43: you (the user you ssh in as) need to be logged into an X session for it to work | 06:20 |
| orethrius | mrdeb: Stop staring at the laser. | 06:20 |
| tp43 | tsimpson, that is the case | 06:20 |
| tp43 | never mind, thanks for trying | 06:21 |
| tp43 | g'night all | 06:21 |
| svchost1 | also, sometimes just restricting how much vision you get from the eye can make it clearer | 06:21 |
| tsimpson | svchost1: #ubuntu-offtopic is the perfect place for your randomness | 06:22 |
| svchost1 | so like, covering up both sides with your fingers directly on the eyelids, so you only get a small box of vision | 06:22 |
| eve | buen día | 06:22 |
| svchost1 | k, but one last thing.. the only problem is refocusing.. when you move the eye or move your head, you get usually pretty out of focus, and it takes a second to readjust | 06:22 |
| eve | ¿alguien despierto? | 06:22 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: Picture how quiet it'll be, though. tp43 already took off. | 06:23 |
| tallguy | does anybody here use irssi with ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| atomicfusion | tsimpson: a little unrelated, but do you klnow of a way to increase the hashing iterations for user passwords? (like you can do for LUKS) | 06:25 |
| tsimpson | atomicfusion: no, and I don't see any need either | 06:26 |
| tsimpson | the hash is already one-way | 06:26 |
| atomicfusion | tsimpson: it increases crack time, as each try can take significantly longer | 06:27 |
| tsimpson | atomicfusion: not really, as the hash can't be reversed to a password | 06:28 |
| orethrius | tsimpson: Rainbow tables, unless the hash relies on a random seed somewhere...? | 06:28 |
| rww | (itym salt) | 06:29 |
| tsimpson | that's basically a form of brute-force, and it doesn't matter how much you encrypt a password in that case | 06:29 |
| atomicfusion | tsimpson: im talking about i nregards to brute forcing, by repeatidly hashing it, you can make each try take longer (many seconds) | 06:29 |
| === lintux is now known as cookie | ||
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Yeah, somehow, I didn't think you meant dictionary here... ;) | 06:31 |
| atomicfusion | orethrius: ha. for my disk encryption on this computer, it takes 5 seconds to unlock the password (its a pentium 4). considering that it's around 40 random characters, i think it being brute forced is unlikely | 06:33 |

| Eartaker | MACscr, did you keep the interface? I installed Ubuntu Studio and went to KDE | 07:00 |
| orethrius | atomicfusion: Well, right, I just don't want to have to boot into the full UI just to get the media center running. Seems kinda redundant. | 07:01 |
| MACscr | ah, im using gnome classic | 07:01 |
| atomicfusion | but so you need to start your own xserver? | 07:01 |
| atomicfusion | maybe screen, then startx? | 07:01 |
| MACscr | atomicfusion: ok, so since its not just xorg crashing, where would i be finding kernel info about crashing, etc? syslog? | 07:02 |

| orethrius | atomicfusion: No, that much is handled, it's just a matter of isolating it from the laptop, which tries to run the program in a local session. | 07:02 |
| atomicfusion | MACscr: try dmesg, maybe? | 07:02 |
| atomicfusion | madeinchina: is their zombieness an issue? | 07:03 |
| MACscr | atomicfusion: if i do: dmesg | grep panic, i dont get any useful info. Any other recommended keywords? | 07:03 |

| madeinchina | atomicfuxion ok your page is in my list thank you | 07:13 |
| atomicfusion | qanadin: im not, but have you looked at threads for it? theres a solved one in the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1419504&page=2 | 07:14 |

| nixu | hello. anyone know if there's any way to recover when gparted goes wrong on an ntfs patition? | 07:19 |
| atomicfusion | nixu: can you mount the partition? | 07:19 |
| nixu | yes, but all the files are gone. there's only a few empty folders left | 07:19 |
| atomicfusion | nixu: is this the case on a windows machine as well? | 07:20 |
| nixu | yes | 07:20 |
| nixu | it resized the paritition ok (it thought) but then failed on verification, cross-linked clusters etc | 07:20 |
| ^cheeky | iam trying to get freenx server working with ubuntu 11.04 , after completeting the guide in the docs, i still get an error, i have tried many different ways and my furthest i have gotten is. the freenx client says its .. downloading session data, and then errors out, saying connection time out, i tried, looking @ the syslog says Received disconnect from 127.0.0.1: 11: disconnected by user before the connection is timed out, i opted for | 07:21 |
| ^cheeky | passdb mechanism for the authentication .. and added user nx and my self to the database, but i still get a time out error | 07:21 |
| atomicfusion | nixu: i dont know then, only suggestion that i have is trying one of those "deleted file recovery tools" for windows | 07:21 |
| nixu | atomicfusion: yea... i'm trying one called TestDisk now, but looks like it's for files that have been intentionally deleted, so it's showing the files that i've recently deleted, but not these lost ones. they're in limbo somewhere... | 07:23 |

| ciphersson | if i ran: "apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" to get my 32bit ubuntu install to recognize my 14gb of ram rather than just 4gb... should i grab the VMware Player Linux 32-bit .bundle or the 64bit .bundle? | 07:34 |
| atomicfusion | ciphersson: 32bit if ur using 32bit linux, which i assume u are,o therwise you wouldnt need the server kernel | 07:35 |
| atomicfusion | ubuntunoobie2903: i dont regonize any of those, have you looked them up on the winehq appdb? | 07:35 |
| ciphersson | atomicfusion: yea i installed a 32bit version then ran "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" | 07:36 |
| atomicfusion | ciphersson: yes, then you want 32bit binaries | 07:37 |
| ciphersson | thank you sir :-D | 07:37 |
| Bursihido | i want to install weehchat 0.3.5-1 but it syaing me Dependency is not satisfiable: weechat-curses (>= 0.3.5-1) ?? | 07:38 |
| atomicfusion | Bursihido: usually when that happens for me, i search for a deb of the package on google | 07:39 |
| curiousx | Bursihido: Irssi is a very good client for IRC ass well | 07:40 |
| ubuntunoobie2903 | atomicfusion: Dasher has a garbage review, Junior isn't reviewed, an older version of stata gets gold | 07:40 |
| atomicfusion | Bursihido: try getting and installing this http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/weechat-curses | 07:40 |
| ubuntunoobie2903 | atomicfusion: but with stata for example it's perfect, the text is there in the menu system, and everything works, except if you open a code window you can't see the text. | 07:41 |
| atomicfusion | ubuntunoobie2903: with things in wine, it tends to be mostly luck. if there are tips in the appdb, go for it, otherwise, i cant be much help | 07:41 |
| atomicfusion | curiousx: pidgin is also a nice irc client :) | 07:42 |
| Bursihido | atomicfusion: Can i have link for deb package? | 07:42 |
| ubuntunoobie2903 | atomicfusion: thanks anyways | 07:42 |
| aatish | hi everyone. i am running ubuntu 10.10 64bit. i am having problems with connecting my bluetooth headset. i installed blueman. it successfully detected my headset but not able to pair. i tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsBluetoothUsbAdapters and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup and this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset.i succeeded pairing the headset with ubuntu once. but when i tried reconne | 07:42 |
| aatish | cting the next day i couldnt. the program works at random but fails more often. can someone help me or guide me. am using a bluetooth headset sony dr-bt50 and the manufacturer of the bluetooth adapter is cambridge silicon. thanks in advance | 07:42 |
| curiousx | Yeah!! atomicfusion, i used pidgin in a ncurses inerfase as well xD | 07:42 |

| mkquist | anyone have experience with booting fedora and ubuntu? Does Fedora not 'play nice' with ubuntu? As in I can install Win7 Ubuntu and Ubuntu sees Win7, but when I install Fedora, it doesnt 'see' Ubuntu... | 07:44 |
| atomicfusion | curiousx: ive never been one to give up the comforts (and frustrations) of a full gui | 07:44 |
| aatish | atomicfusion: i have only ubuntu installed on my computer. | 07:44 |
| atomicfusion | aatish: is trhere something else that you could test it on to make sure that its not a hardware issue? | 07:45 |
| atomicfusion | mkquist: it's definatly doable, how much experience do you have with linux? | 07:46 |
| curiousx | mkquist: first install winbug then others Linux's distros | 07:46 |
| aries | hi, everyone. | 07:46 |
| aatish | atomicfusion: ok. will try something | 07:46 |
| aries | Now, I use fedora. | 07:47 |
| aries | I do not like unity. | 07:47 |
| aries | gnome3 looks great. | 07:47 |
| mkquist | atomicfusion: been using ubuntu for quite some time, just tried to install fedora and it didnt 'see' ubuntu. Reinstalled ubuntu and it saw all of the others just fine. Just curious if Fedora is a bit predatory... | 07:48 |
| atomicfusion | aries: my favorite is headless gentoo :) | 07:48 |
| coz_ | aries, you have to remember that gnome 3 has had much more coding time than Unity,,, | 07:48 |
| coz_ | aries, give it time | 07:48 |
| aries | coz, so I will wait . | 07:49 |
| atomicfusion | mkquist: fedora and ubuntu ought to work togeather in the exact same way (as in, they dont interact) the fedora installer probably just doesnt have ubuntu detection in it | 07:49 |
| baijiu | how to select kde desktop | 07:49 |
| atomicfusion | baijiu: is it installed? did u install ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| aries | First you should install | 07:50 |
| coz_ | baijiu, log off and click your name then below choose kde session and as mentioned it has to be installed | 07:50 |
| coz_ | baijiu, if you didnt install it sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 07:50 |
| baijiu | ok | 07:50 |
| aries | kde now is a little big and heavy. | 07:50 |
| baijiu | its like windows 7 right? | 07:51 |
| aries | a little. | 07:51 |
| curiousx | much better | 07:51 |
| Eartaker | whats up with not being able to run at root user in the ubuntu 11.04 | 07:52 |
| augustine | what do you mean? | 07:52 |
| aries | passwd it | 07:52 |
| aatish | atomicfusion: i tried the bluetooth adapter on my neighbour's win xp machine and it successfully connected to my headset | 07:52 |
| sweat | baijiu: update-alternatives --configure x-window-manager or x-session-manager, also i guess update-rc.d kde defaults might do it | 07:52 |
| Eartaker | aries there is already a password and it isnt the one I set | 07:52 |
| sweat | *--config | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | I cant get into root to change tha pass | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | the | 07:53 |
| aries | su root | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | http://www.eartaker.net/pics/displayimage.php?album=4&pid=66#top_display_media | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | oops | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | su root | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | asks for pass | 07:53 |
| FloodBot1 | Eartaker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:53 |
| Eartaker | no idea what the pass it | 07:54 |
| nightrid3r | Eartaker there is no root pass | 07:54 |
| atomicfusion | aatish: is the bluetooth daemon running? | 07:54 |
| aries | su root , and input the password. | 07:54 |
| coz_ | Eartaker, use sudo -i and your user password | 07:54 |
| aries | passwd root | 07:54 |
| aries | set a password | 07:54 |
| aries | First you should be a admin user. | 07:55 |
| Eartaker | I am the admin user... but | 07:55 |
| atomicfusion | Eartaker: not that i mean to be condescending, but do u really need to login as root? usually there are better ways | 07:55 |
| Eartaker | when I type su root, it ASKS for a password and then says auth failed | 07:55 |
| aatish | atomicfusion: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status says that bluetooth is running | 07:55 |
| aries | your password is wrong. | 07:55 |
| tsimpson | Eartaker: don't use "su root", use "sudo -i" | 07:55 |
| sweat | Eartaker: you have to do sudo passwd | 07:56 |
| Eartaker | sudo -i works | 07:56 |
| Eartaker | just tried | 07:56 |
| === bursihido is now known as Bursihido | ||
| sweat | Eartaker: that will set the substitute user password for root but to change to root you don't need to specifity su root just su will do | 07:57 |
| Chipzzz | sudo -i is what the developers recommend | 07:57 |
| atomicfusion | aatish: i dont know anything about bluetooth, maybe it prints to the syslog? you can view it with dmesg | 07:57 |
| apporc | hello,everyone | 07:58 |

| Eartaker | atomicfusion, your right .... as of now I do not need to but in the future I will and it was just driving me nuts | 07:59 |
| atomicfusion | Bursihido: just search for the unfufileld dependency "weechat-core" | 07:59 |
| Eartaker | Thanks guys for the quick replies | 07:59 |
| Bursihido | ok | 07:59 |
| aatish | atomicfusion: dmsg says that hci_cmd_task: hci0 command tx timeout. i once succeeded pairing the headset and successfully transmitted audio to the headset. but i cant anymore. dnt know y. | 08:00 |

| eeriks | Is there a idea to put many processors i one computer to make it speed up or is that problematic? (thinking of taking the old processor from one computer and put it into another one that allready have one to make the total workforce more effective) | 08:01 |
| apporc | I pvmove a 20G PV to a 60G pv ,after the move ,the 60G pv is full . | 08:01 |
| apporc | what is the reason | 08:02 |
| atomicfusion | eeriks: most motherboards dont support multipel cpus | 08:03 |
| airtonix | if we choose to encrypt a home folder, how do we return an un-ecrypted home folder setup? | 08:03 |
| eeriks | oh, ok | 08:03 |
| aries | just buy a great cpu. | 08:03 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: what does vgdispplay say? | 08:03 |
| Chipzzz | eeriks: that's the theory behind multi-core processors | 08:03 |
| majdekalel | is there any router simulation software for ubuntu ?? | 08:03 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: the PE size of a 20GB pv is the same as 60GB pv's | 08:04 |
| airtonix | majdekalel: yes, cisco have made some as well | 08:04 |
| majdekalel | is it free ? | 08:04 |
| majdekalel | or i have to use cracked copy ??? | 08:04 |
| eeriks | Chipzzz How do you mean? | 08:04 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: when i pvmove a 20GB to a 60GB pv ,all PE is used then , nothing is free . I don't know how to solve this. | 08:04 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: unless theyres something else on the 60GiB pc, the only thing that i can think of is human error, as that would be a huge bug | 08:05 |
| Chipzzz | eeriks: a multi-core processor is a lot like having more than one processor in the system | 08:05 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: which is why i was thinking that you could show me vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and pvdisplay | 08:05 |
| airtonix | majdekalel: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/netacad/course_catalog/PacketTracer.html | 08:05 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: where should i upload the vgdisplay output | 08:06 |
| majdekalel | i know this software | 08:06 |
| airtonix | majdekalel: "The software is available free of charge to all Networking Academy instructors, students, and alumni." | 08:06 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: pastebin.com should work | 08:06 |
| baijiu | my ubuntu live cd says x86_64 is that i686 or 64 bit? | 08:06 |
| atomicfusion | 64bit | 08:06 |
| eeriks | ok, so why does they work for the motherboard and not to put in two processors next to each other? | 08:06 |
| baijiu | i386 rather | 08:06 |
| atomicfusion | eeriks: usually theres only one cpu socket | 08:07 |
| tsimpson | baijiu: x86_64 is 64bit | 08:07 |
| eeriks | ok | 08:07 |
| baijiu | thx | 08:07 |
| atomicfusion | eeriks: im talking about in a physical sense | 08:07 |
| PAM | ???? | 08:08 |
| eeriks | as you can see in my comments im not that educated in this subject. | 08:08 |
| Chipzzz | eeriks: if the mobo supports multiple cpu's there is no problem using them | 08:08 |
| Chipzzz | few do though | 08:08 |
| eeriks | nice | 08:08 |
| eeriks | i just have to lift the box and look, then :) | 08:09 |
| Chipzzz | eeriks: the few mobo's that do support dual cpu's generally only support two of the same type, though | 08:10 |
| eeriks | ok | 08:10 |

| atomicfusion | apporc: and what reports being full now? | 08:24 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: it said sda8 is full. | 08:25 |

| apporc | /dev/sda8 11693 19527 62934292+ 8e Linux LVM | 08:29 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: what wrong with sda8 , fdisk says it is 60G | 08:29 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: howabout sudo pvresize /dev/sda8 | 08:30 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: on what you put on pastebin, it says that sda8 is 20GiB | 08:30 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: i used pvcreate with default arguments to create physical volume sda8 . Should i use some additional arguments for that ? | 08:31 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: no, the only arguments that you can give pvresize is a new size, but it should autodetect the partition size | 08:32 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: yeah, PV Size is 20GB . | 08:32 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: does it let you extend it to 60? | 08:32 |
| ilangeeran | how to get themes for ubuntu 11.04? | 08:33 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: yes, the resize succeeded . | 08:33 |
| atomicfusion | now does your previous command work? | 08:33 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: yes. it works now . | 08:34 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: awesome, have a nice night | 08:34 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: thank you . but what is the reason . | 08:34 |
| atomicfusion | did u resize /dev/sda8? | 08:34 |
| sharkz | Hi - can some one help me out with how to connect my router through usb - and use that for internet ? | 08:35 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: is that because when i pvcreate sda8 , i don't give it additional arguments. | 08:35 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: it shouldnt be | 08:35 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: sda8 is 60GB ,why the command "pvcreate /dev/sda8" makes it 20GB? | 08:35 |
| ilangeeran | sharkz:for that you need to configure that | 08:35 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: the only reasons taht i could see is if you resized /def/sda8, or u gave pvcreate special options | 08:36 |
| nightrid3r | sharkz you can setup your usb modem with network manager | 08:36 |
| === himcesjf1 is now known as himcesjf | ||
| apporc | atomicfusion: i remembered a change now, when i first pvcreate PV sda8 ,the PE Size of the vg system is 32MB , I have just changed that to 64MB yet when i found i can't pvmove . | 08:37 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: the size of the pv is determined by the PE Size of vg , is that right ? | 08:38 |
| atomicfusion | apporc: i dont know. i never bothered to learn much about the underlying mechanisms of lvm | 08:38 |
| atomicfusion | good night everyone | 08:38 |
| apporc | atomicfusion: thank you very much then .have a good night | 08:39 |
| Ozik | hi there, a little help needed with WoL: I configured WoL and it worked but, tonight I send via ssh halt, now I can't turn it on. Also: I have Linksys WRT54G2 with ip reservation for 166hrs, ports 7-9 forwarded to ip and ubuntu disappeared from dhcp table | 08:39 |
| Ozik | there wasn't power failure | 08:39 |
| atomicfusion | Ozik: did u unplug it and plug it back in after halting? | 08:40 |
| Ozik | nobody did nothing, also it is a remote location | 08:41 |
| atomicfusion | i know i somewhat paniched after halting my linksys router, and i had to disconenct and reconnect its power | 08:41 |
| JNZ | Why is sys/event.h missing? :/ | 08:41 |
| Ozik | I've halted ubuntu server 10.04, not router | 08:41 |
| atomicfusion | oh i see sorry | 08:42 |
| === screen is now known as Guest33974 | ||
| Ozik | I did halt and then I could WoL it, I've finished working then halt, and now I can't WoL | 08:42 |
| sharkz | ilangeeran, nightrid3r - sorry, cant find any option to choose usb device | 08:42 |
| sharkz | in nm-applet | 08:43 |
| ilangeeran | ok you can try wvdial | 08:43 |
| Ozik | WRT54G2 doesn't have reservation ip<->MAC but I can reserve it for max 9999 minutes | 08:43 |
| ilangeeran | sharkz:you can try wvdial | 08:43 |
| Ozik | server had .0.100 | 08:44 |
| Ozik | it has gone, but other offline devices are still there from 101-104 | 08:44 |
| timClicks | I need to apply this patch the driver for my wireless chip to work (http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-closed@lists.debian.org/msg327720.html), how do I do that? | 08:45 |
| JNZ | sys/event.h anyone? Nobody knows why it's missing? :/ | 08:48 |
| pozic | JNZ: that is the wrong approach. | 08:50 |
| pozic | JNZ: explain why you think you should have it? | 08:50 |
| soulis77-SE | how can i see which users are defined with ssh command? I may be missing www-data or some settings for that user | 08:50 |
| JNZ | pozic: Explain why I shouldn't have it! | 08:52 |
| pozic | JNZ: a computer is a device containing bits of information. If you didn't put the file there, it is not going to be there. | 08:54 |
| pozic | JNZ: so, if you say you never put it there, there should be no surprise as to it not being there. | 08:55 |
| tsimpson | pozic: they left | 08:55 |

| Lasers_ | Hi. I wanted to ask something about ssh keys. Do one usually have exact same ssh-key on all machines or unique generated ssh-key for each machine? | 08:58 |
| Lasers_ | (Ie -- I have 3~ machines. Should I have all same ssh-keygen all over them or I just create unique keys for them?) | 08:58 |
| tsimpson | Lasers_: each machine should (normally) have different keys | 09:01 |
| MestreLion | Lasers: depends on whether you want to connect FROM or TO them | 09:01 |
| Lasers_ | tsimpson: Okay. Thank you. I wanted to make sure. Also, how do you manage to keep them arranged? (I never can backup anything properly). :( | 09:02 |
| tsimpson | just keep /etc/ssh backed up | 09:02 |
| MestreLion | machines you want to connect FROM dont even have to have ANY generated key at all ;) | 09:03 |
| tdk200 | hi all | 09:03 |
| Lasers_ | tsimpson: Noted. Ty. | 09:03 |
| MestreLion | just the pub keys from the machines you want to connect TO | 09:03 |
| Ozik | bumping my Q up: I need help with WoL. I confugured it and it worked fine. Even at night I could halt and then wake. Now I can't. Server is behind Linksys WRT54G2, ip reserved for 166hrs (but it disappeared from DHCP table, other offline devices didn't) ports 7-9forwarded | 09:03 |
| MestreLion | tsimpson: you mean ~/.ssh | 09:03 |
| tsimpson | the keys shouldn't normally change, so you only need to back them up once | 09:03 |
| tsimpson | MestreLion: nope | 09:03 |
| tdk200 | I'm from italy but on the chat ubuntu-it i don't have find a help | 09:04 |
| tsimpson | I meant /etc/ssh, so that's what I said :) | 09:04 |
| MestreLion | doesnt that require sudo? | 09:04 |
| tdk200 | i have a problem whit wi-fi wireless card Alfa Awuso36h the chip is realtek rtl8187 | 09:05 |
| tsimpson | MestreLion: I didn't give a command, so not sure what sudo would apply to | 09:05 |
| tdk200 | the problem is whit ubuntu 11.04 | 09:05 |
| MestreLion | tsimpson: lets say i want to use my SSH key to connect to another computer without havint to use a password (thats the whole point of using SSH keys, right?) | 09:06 |
| ubrocks | Does anyone know where to find the launchctl command? | 09:06 |
| tdk200 | can help me here? | 09:06 |
| soreau | ! realtek | tdk200 | 09:06 |
| ubottu | tdk200: some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b | 09:06 |
| tsimpson | MestreLion: that wasn't the question | 09:06 |
| MestreLion | tsimpson: so... do i need to somehow place my public key in /etc ? shouldnt i be able to do so whithout root priviledge? | 09:07 |
| tsimpson | MestreLion: each server running sshd has a key, that's the key I'm talking about | 09:07 |
| MestreLion | ohhhhhh | 09:07 |
| ubrocks | There is a service using launchctl but I can't find the command on Ubuntu. Anyone knows where I can find it? | 09:08 |
| tdk200 | i have installed from cd a driver for this card, where i can find a guide for uninstall it? | 09:08 |
| MestreLion | tsimpson: i thought Lasers_ was talking about *user* ssh keys | 09:08 |
| MestreLion | im so sorry then | 09:09 |
| MestreLion | ubrocks: launchctl is from Mac's OSX, not Ubuntu | 09:10 |
| liangjs | nihao | 09:10 |
| ubrocks | MestreLion, whoops, thanks. | 09:11 |

| PartRecover | I accidentally placed a partition over another one...i need to restore the old one....any ideas??? | 09:13 |
| Adamfyre | PartRecover, have you tried using gparted? | 09:14 |
| PartRecover | i tried using testdisk...but i only find the current partition...not the old one. | 09:14 |
| Ozik | pozic: and google knows maybe how to solve my WoL problem? :) | 09:15 |
| PartRecover | im running a deeper search on testdisk now...:S | 09:15 |
| pozic | Ozik: I read it, but I have no idea on that one. | 09:15 |
| Adamfyre | PartRecover, you overwrote your partition? | 09:15 |
| PartRecover | yes | 09:15 |
| Adamfyre | ah ok | 09:16 |
| PartRecover | what can i do? | 09:16 |
| Ozik | pozic: any idea who can knows? maybe different q: why ubuntu disappeared from dhcp after some time after halt and other devices not | 09:16 |
| lijuan_ | I want to copy a file into bin folder, why it is showing I am not the owner, permission denied? | 09:17 |
| pozic | Ozik: do you understand what dhcp does? | 09:17 |
| Ozik | pozic: ofcourse, but WRT54G2 can't do ip<->MAC reservations, so I go around and set 9999 minutes ip reservation, I am able to look into DHCP clients table | 09:18 |
| pozic | Ozik: so, use static ip addresses. | 09:19 |
| pozic | Ozik: that's what I do. | 09:19 |
| Ozik | pozic: linksys are weird. DHCP starts from 192.168.0.100, router is on 0.1, even if I set up static ie. 0.5 dhcp somehow override it | 09:20 |
| pozic | Ozik: you can disable dhcp. | 09:21 |
| pozic | Ozik: unless the router is really the SUX. | 09:21 |
| PartRecover | I accidentally placed a partition over another one by using ntfsclone uncorrectly (source instead of destination, and viceversa)...i need to restore the old one....any ideas??? | 09:21 |
| TomKaH1138 | Hiho | 09:22 |
| TomKaH1138 | Do someone know the channel xbins ? | 09:22 |
| Ozik | pozic: WRT54G2 really sux, it has firmware 1.5 which can't be replaced by wrt-dd | 09:23 |
| pozic | Ozik: if you cannot disable dhcp completely, then just throw the router away. | 09:23 |
| wana | hi | 09:24 |
| Ozik | pozic: I can do it, but I'm not sjure what will happen then ^^ | 09:24 |
| TomKaH1138 | Hi | 09:24 |
| pozic | Ozik: you have to configure all your clients to use a static ip anyway. | 09:24 |
| Ozik | *shure | 09:24 |
| carldoncarls | you can always flash tomato onto it | 09:24 |
| carldoncarls | or whatever is in these days | 09:25 |
| Ozik | tomato? | 09:25 |
| carldoncarls | firmware for routers | 09:25 |
| Ozik | wrt-dd can be applied but not into WRT54G2, not enough memory LOL | 09:26 |
| llutz | carldoncarls: wrt54g2 1.5 is not compatible with tomato | 09:26 |
| carldoncarls | well i'm sure there's gotta be something else besides oem for him that is better | 09:26 |
| PartRecover | hice un ntfsclone al revés....sobreescribí la particion donde habia datos con la particion vacia del disco usb...como puedo recuperar la particion anterior??? | 09:27 |

| ikonia | PartRecover: game over | 09:44 |
| carldoncarls | no, it won't be a faulty IO of mem | 09:44 |

| brainwave92 | i need to get videos from my miniDV tape onto pc. windows i got no hope left. On ubuntu the tutorials made it look so easy. But it isnt working. | 09:46 |
| PartRecover | why is that? | 09:46 |
| ikonia | PartRecover: because that's my opinion based on expereince | 09:46 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: the first question is "is your video device supported in linux" | 09:47 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no point doing anything else until you know the answer to that | 09:47 |
| brainwave92 | i have a sony DCRHC40 camera.....i am trying to use firewire | 09:47 |
| brainwave92 | how do i know if its supported? and if not....how do i go about learning what it takes to even write a driver for it. I know some c++. | 09:48 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: you can't write a driver for it | 09:49 |
| brainwave92 | like......firewire is supported | 09:49 |
| brainwave92 | and so should be the sony cam right? | 09:49 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: you probably won't need a "driver" as it's not being used as a device but a video stream, however it does depend on the device, so research if the device is supported | 09:49 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no, firewire support does not = device support | 09:49 |
| brainwave92 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire | 09:49 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: I know what firewire is | 09:49 |
| brainwave92 | here they tell about the messages in var/log/kern.log | 09:50 |
| brainwave92 | i was just saying is that i have no such messages on connecting the cam | 09:50 |
| servet_gozdog | hello every1 :) | 09:50 |
| servet_gozdog | Can someone please help me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/641247/ | 09:50 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, i never said you didnt......just making myself clear! Am here to ask help....no ego fights :) | 09:50 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: good luck | 09:51 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, i tried asking sony guys, and they are just plain incompitent. | 09:51 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: I doubt that very much | 09:51 |
| brainwave92 | they are repeating the same phrases like- no we cannot guarantee that. Yes it would be wise to try out other cables. Get the camera repaired. And their most irritating......the OS setting might interfere | 09:52 |
| brainwave92 | None really telling what the problem is. | 09:52 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: that's quite reasonable | 09:52 |
| brainwave92 | How come? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: as I've said YOU need to find out if that device is supported under linux | 09:53 |
| blzp | does anyone know if theres a way to force an encryption of a file with gpg? without setting a trust level? I get a warning that the key may not belong to the person | 09:53 |
| brainwave92 | Look when other sony cams like HC 36, HC 46 and all are supported....why not HC 40! | 09:53 |
| pozic | brainwave92: it is real simple: you ask whether they support it, if they don't you get a different camera. | 09:53 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: because it's a different device | 09:53 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: I'm not saying it isn't supported, I'm saying you need to know if it is or not | 09:53 |
| brainwave92 | i ask to whom? | 09:53 |
| pozic | brainwave92: you ask to whoever wants to sell you one. | 09:54 |
| red_rail | hell.. they wont know | 09:54 |
| pozic | brainwave92: or if you already have it, you just try it. | 09:54 |
| red_rail | and they'll probably just tell you yes anyways | 09:54 |
| pozic | brainwave92: and if it doesn't work, you learned a lesson. | 09:54 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: tons of information on the internet, you could actually ask sony | 09:54 |
| red_rail | if it has a return policy, keep your receipt try it out and take it back | 09:54 |
| brainwave92 | i tried that.....look i | 09:54 |
| pozic | brainwave92: the reason it is hard to write a driver is not because writing a driver is hard (for most devices at least), it is because it is secret what you have to send to the device to get a certain response. | 09:56 |
| brainwave92 | pozic, i understand | 09:56 |
| codehotter | pozic: exactly. -_-o Vendors are deliberatly keeping specs secret | 09:56 |
| pozic | brainwave92: another reason to buy increasingly more open hardware. | 09:57 |
| brainwave92 | wait. If the sony guys say it can be used with firewire, and if there are softwares which can capture data from a sony cam (only 1 example is given in that howto) then where can the problem be? | 09:58 |
| iridium | brainwave92, I had an HP 7XXX scanner, an all the range of scanners of 7000 series worked in linux.... except the one I had, so these things happen | 09:58 |
| brainwave92 | i would appreciate at least the reason | 09:59 |
| pozic | brainwave92: the problem is that you have to explain to Linux how to get those images. | 09:59 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: the song guys say it can be used with firewire IF the OS supports it | 10:00 |
| servet_gozdog | Can someone please help me : http://paste.ubuntu.com/641247/ | 10:00 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: this is why I said you need to check it's supportability before wasting time trying to debug an issue | 10:00 |
| ikonia | servet_gozdog: please don't put your question in a pastebin, actually ask the channel | 10:01 |
| brainwave92 | if it isnt supported what options do i have? | 10:01 |
| === Sergevg is now known as svg | ||
| ikonia | brainwave92: use it through a supported OS (windows/mac ?) | 10:01 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: the solution is simple. | 10:01 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: install the proprietary drivers. | 10:01 |
| brainwave92 | it doesnt work there either. And with that.....at least i am getting in onto issues | 10:01 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: for the simple reason that the free drivers like to run your graphics card at full speed for some silly reason. | 10:02 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: if it doesn't work on supported OS's like Windows, there maybe a problem with the device | 10:02 |
| brainwave92 | the thing is....it is rumoured that MS is reducing firewire functionality. And millions of posts on the internet actually tell you how after an update it stopped working | 10:02 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: that is nosnense | 10:02 |
| brainwave92 | how after xp to vista, or even xp sp2 to sp3 their devices stopped working | 10:02 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: you mean i need to install the catalist drivers ? | 10:03 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: yes | 10:03 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: but you will get a different set of problems back. | 10:03 |
| brainwave92 | ok listen to this......the sony camera should display dv in on being plugged into the port through a cable.... | 10:03 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: amd developers cannot write drivers, it apepars. | 10:03 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no | 10:03 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: what problems ? | 10:03 |
| pozic | appears* | 10:03 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: hm. | 10:03 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: we are not here to support the windows problem | 10:03 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, correct me then | 10:03 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: my machine cannot remain up for more than 5 days. | 10:03 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: everytime the AMD driver crashes. | 10:04 |
| brainwave92 | i am saying it doesnt work on windows 'despite' being supported. Its an issue with the OS not the cam. That i'm reasonably sure. So i am here to do it in linux | 10:04 |
| brainwave92 | cause in linux i have a greater control over system | 10:04 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no you don't | 10:04 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, how come? | 10:04 |
| pozic | brainwave92: you only have greater control, if you know what you are doing. | 10:04 |
| x1 | how do you compile a c profram in command line | 10:04 |
| brainwave92 | pozic, thats why i need help | 10:04 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: you're not listening to what's been said | 10:05 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: if the device isn't working under a supported OS like windows - there is more likley a problem with the device | 10:05 |
| kelbygreen | hey how can you change drive locations? I installed new HDD and my windows HHD was sdc now its sdb and wont boot threw grub | 10:05 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, i had i serviced 2 days back!!!! thats WHY i'm sure its ok | 10:05 |
| amijay | Hello ubuntu users. Anybody out there that lives in the UK? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no, that's just mechanical, not software | 10:06 |
| x1 | how do you compile a c program in command line? | 10:06 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: many times i installed on ubuntu the catalist drivers but i faced the same problem. also with catalist drivers make my ubuntu crazy. for example now compiz works perfect but after the installation of catalist compiz slow down... :( | 10:06 |
| ikonia | x1: gcc | 10:06 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, u say a firmware problem? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: no | 10:06 |
| ikonia | x1: try the ##c | 10:06 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: there is no way to control the fans ? or not enough to control them ? | 10:06 |
| ikonia | x1: try the ##c channel | 10:06 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: also compiz is complete crap. | 10:06 |
| brainwave92 | I asked them to check. I showed them the not working cable. They said the'll check. | 10:06 |
| brainwave92 | I even tried a different cable. | 10:07 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: what we should use as alternate of compiz ? | 10:07 |
| carldoncarls | kelby - you might try a windows cd boot and rewrite the mbr, that happened to me when a sata plug borked on my mobo | 10:07 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: just simple metacity. | 10:07 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: ok, so if someone knows it's working, contact them and ask them how to get it working under windows | 10:07 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: the other option there is a problem with your PC | 10:07 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: I think they call it 'no effect'. | 10:07 |
| x1 | ikonia, invite only, but practically I have a .c how do i compile ie command line | 10:07 |
| ikonia | x1: it's not invite only | 10:07 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: Or if you want pretty pictures you could try E17. | 10:08 |

| brainwave92 | ikonia, yes the pc is possible. And i asked sony the reason. Their answers were flat baseless. They are incompitent, here in India at least. | 10:09 |
| kelbygreen | well I have windows vista on grub (I havnt used on this setup) and its on sdb but it wont boot, says to install windows cd but the windows 7 is sdc and it just stays maroon screen and goes back to grub | 10:09 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: sure, but compiz has been implemented by God knows who and it simply is a bad implementation. | 10:09 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: e17 is just perfect.. i try it and i read many thinks about it.. but it must have many desktop environments on it.. am am waiting for it.. | 10:09 |
| brainwave92 | Service center guys were like that. So i am going to write to the higer authorities, but that s a different issue. | 10:09 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: i even can not use the system tray on 17 :( | 10:10 |
| brainwave92 | ikonia, how do i check if its a problem with pc? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | brainwave92: ask the sony guys to walk you through the setup, or test with a known working device | 10:10 |
| pozic | brainwave92: go to whoever sold you the device and let him show you how to get it working on Windows. | 10:10 |
| pozic | brainwave92: then there is a base line and you can try it on Linux. | 10:10 |
| pozic | brainwave92: simple. | 10:10 |
| carldoncarls | kelby - sounds like grub isn't aware of an sdb device being bootable... sec | 10:11 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: what do you think about beryl ? | 10:11 |
| brainwave92 | pozic, thanks. i'll do that | 10:11 |
| === x1 is now known as knewb | ||
| kelbygreen | if I put the windows disk in wont it put the windows as a boot menu ?? I know once and once only windows did show ubuntu in the boot menu but once only | 10:11 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: I classify it in the same area, but that's based on old experience. | 10:11 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: I want my machine to respond immediately, not waste time on silly graphics. | 10:12 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: some people take it to the extreme and work without X even. | 10:12 |
| kelbygreen | well windows 7 in on sdb it was on sdc but I never had windows vista but it has always had a option in grub for it under a drive that was my slave but now I upgraded the slave same sata port and its now sdc not sdb | 10:12 |
| === knewb is now known as newb100 | ||
| kelbygreen | is there a way to edit grub and change the windows 7 for sdc to sdb | 10:13 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: you think like this because you need performance or you think that beryl and compiz are not good as techinal ? | 10:14 |
| robin0800 | kelbygreen, that is why you should use uuid and not sda etc | 10:14 |
| pozic | servet_gozdog: technically they suck. | 10:14 |
| kelbygreen | tried setting bios options so unbuntu boots first then windows then slave and then the the othe way around but with ubuntu first of coarse | 10:14 |
| tuxfan74 | is it possible to make Ubuntu more like Arch Linux? Such as using PKGBUILD files in Ubuntu for compiling, and changing mirrors to make Ubuntu more of a bleeding edge distribution? | 10:15 |
| newb100 | ikonia, how do i "you need to be identified with services" | 10:15 |
| kelbygreen | how do you use uuid? and can it be changed without a system format | 10:15 |
| ikonia | tuxfan74: not really no, that just makes it your own distro again | 10:15 |
| ikonia | newb100: join the channel #freenode and ask for help | 10:15 |
| tuxfan74 | okay ikonia | 10:15 |
| robin0800 | you run sudo blkid to optain uuid's then they are put into fstab | 10:16 |
| kelbygreen | never knew there was another way to do it its always been sd_ for me | 10:16 |
| robin0800 | kelbygreen, you run sudo blkid to optain uuid's then they are put into fstab | 10:17 |
| kelbygreen | so will I have to do anything else ? | 10:17 |
| kelbygreen | as with linux I always found its never as simple as a one thing deal to get stuff working | 10:17 |
| robin0800 | kelbygreen, reboot | 10:17 |
| servet_gozdog | pozic: i have interested on the code of beryl or compiz projects... But i did not know they suck technicaly... you mean linux and opengl deserves more than this projects ... !? | 10:18 |
| staz_ | what is best flash player ? need one. should i install adobe or something else | 10:18 |
| servet_gozdog | staz_: adobe | 10:18 |
| staz_ | ok ty | 10:19 |
| servet_gozdog | or html5 :D | 10:19 |
| ikonia | servet_gozdog: there is only adobe | 10:20 |
| ikonia | servet_gozdog: sorry, that was for staz_ | 10:20 |
| robin0800 | kelbygreen, yes be very careful as a mistake after fstab changes you have to run sudo update-grub which might fix your problem on its own | 10:21 |
| jos | Hi I'm trying to customize my ubuntu with themes, but even when I install the most popular ones, it looks great except for the launchbar (is that what it's called?) on top | 10:27 |
| jos | because it gives white text on a light gray background which makes it almost unreadable and its not like in the screenshot | 10:28 |
| newb100 | ikonia, I use cc, which parameters you recomend | 10:28 |
| robin0800 | jos, think only radiance and ambiance themes can change the unity panel | 10:29 |
| MestreLion | jos: which ubunu? | 10:29 |
| jos | 11.04 | 10:30 |
| hadeszka | hello | 10:30 |
| MestreLion | jos: besides... you mean the launcher (at left side) or the top panel? | 10:30 |
| jos | the top panel | 10:31 |
| jos | perhaps I can show you, one sec | 10:31 |
| hadeszka | i'd like to ask some help: i just installed 11.04, and purged pulseaudio because of the not functioning microphone, and tried to use Volti as sound mixer, but it is freezing | 10:32 |
| ikonia | newb100: it depends on what you want to do, as I've said ##c and #gcc would be the best place to ask | 10:32 |
| hadeszka | "can't open Master control for card SB, trying to select first available mixer channel" | 10:32 |
| newb100 | ok tks | 10:32 |
| jos | MestreLion: I'm trying to change it to this: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Zukitwo?content=140562 | 10:32 |
| jos | but the topbar turns light grey when i enable it | 10:33 |
| MestreLion | jos: as Robin said, only the default Radiance and Ambiante will correctly display nice in Unity | 10:33 |
| Mepho | hm... hm.. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=windows_ubuntu_pow | 10:33 |
| MestreLion | jos: besides, that theme was designed for Gnome-shell (Gnome3 / GTK+3)... Ubuntu uses Gnome2... it wont work | 10:34 |
| jos | ah i see | 10:35 |
| consolers | with ubuntu "11.04", the "xserver-xorg-video-vesa" driver gives a blank screen on some intel mother with an integrated video card. theres nothing i can do is there? | 10:35 |
| MestreLion | in 11.04, Unity is just a (huge) custom compiz plugin... but under the hood its still Gnome2/GTK+2 | 10:36 |
| === red_rail is now known as red_ | ||
| MestreLion | in 11.10 it will (hopefully) be integrated with Gnome3 and use GTK+3 libraries... but it will still NOT be Gnome-Shell... | 10:37 |
| Mepho | consolers: you can use something else than vesa or change version or friking ignore ubuntu version because issue has nothing to do with ubutu XX.XX | 10:38 |

| bullgard4 | [Natty] Calling Banshee via the GNOME menu will execute the binary using the option --redirect.log. Where does Banshee write log messages? | 11:00 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: do a search for redirect.log | 11:00 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: I'd guess /var/log somewhere, but it could also be in your home dir | 11:00 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: '~$ locate redirect.log' does not produce any output. | 11:01 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: looking at the man page --redirect.log is not a valid option | 11:02 |
| jos | mm | 11:02 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/banshee.1.html | 11:02 |
| === PAM is now known as xia-PAM | ||
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I consulted the manpage before I posted here. --redirect log is not listed there as an option. Still, the GNOME menu uses this option. I believe that the manpage is outdated. It is dated 2009. | 11:04 |
| francisco_t | Anybody remember a program to see how the services/process startup in boot??? The program generates a graphic... i dont remember the name :( | 11:05 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: well, I don't believe it is, | 11:05 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: do banshee --help | 11:05 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: do you see the option? | 11:05 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: I do not see the option. But --help does not list all options. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: so the man page doesn't list it, --help doesn't list it, and the command doesn't appear to work, so that to me suggests it's not a valid option | 11:07 |
| xia-PAM | Why so many people here, but does not talk? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: or the option isn't doing what you expect it to do, eg: it's actually not a log file redirector | 11:07 |
| ikonia | xia-PAM: please - you've been asked and told this is a support channel | 11:07 |
| bullgard4 | ikonia: Yes, this may be an explanation. -- Thank you. | 11:07 |
| xia-PAM | yea | 11:08 |
| xia-PAM | but u told me that room | 11:08 |
| xia-PAM | no one talk | 11:08 |
| xia-PAM | it's so weird | 11:08 |

| consolers | hmm there isnt any xserver-xorg-video-vga in natty | 11:10 |
| consolers | and xserver-xorg-video-vesa gives a blank screen. `intel' doesnt support this integrated video card, so i just cant get any X with natty's xorg can i | 11:11 |
| rich97 | Hi there, I keep getting this really annoying screen flicker with both the proprietary and the opensource ATI drivers. How can I force my system to use the integrated chip in my computer?

| Ruudjah | How can I install firefox5 on ubuntu? Tried software center, synaptic package manager, and plain download | 11:11 |
| Araneidae | Hi. I had some trouble yesterday getting a Samsung CLX-3175N network attached printer/scanner to work with SANE. The answer involves custom hacking of my install, where's a good place to write this up? Ubuntu really needs to update its sane-backends, which is the main issue. | 11:11 |
| Ruudjah | softare center says its already installed (true - 3.6 runs here), synaptic package manager doesnt have ff5, and the download gives a tar.bz2 file | 11:12 |
| consolers | my best bet at this point seems to be reviving the xfree86 from 2006 for this box. | 11:12 |
| michielc | consolers: maybe try the "vesa" driver? | 11:13 |
| ikonia | Ruudjah: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 11:13 |
| consolers | michielc the problem is with xorgs vesa driver | 11:13 |
| consolers | i'm looking for ways to use the vesa driver if i can | 11:13 |
| michielc | consolers: sry, read that wrong. what kind of card is it? | 11:13 |

| michielc | consolers: the only driver that seems to work is the i810 and only in 16 bit | 11:18 |
| Ruudjah | ikonia: I dont understand why it's so hard to have a file download of ff5 which just works, though. | 11:18 |
| Ruudjah | I know its a mozilla issue | 11:18 |
| consolers | michielc just checked 82845G | 11:18 |
| ikonia | Ruudjah: because imagine there are 200+ linux distribtuions, all different, trying to make a package that works on all of them as 1 generic package is VERY hard | 11:19 |
| Ruudjah | y, but ubuntu is prolly most popular one (thats why I chose ubuntu) | 11:19 |
| ikonia | Ruudjah: mozilla make a generic build, ubuntu makes a specific one, however firefox has major implications to the build as it's intergrated into the desktop, so it's not easy to make such big version jumps | 11:20 |

| jamescarr | hell... | 11:41 |
| michielc | consolers: those are not the same? | 11:41 |

| jamescarr | ssh-agent exists on this box | 11:43 |
| io | jamescarr: '$ ssh-agent <window manager>' | 11:43 |
| jamescarr | it just isnt running | 11:43 |
| jamescarr | io, server, hence no window manager | 11:43 |
| michielc | consolers, unless you have any other promblems as well, you don't have to reboot to test X configurations | 11:43 |
| io | jamescarr: '$ ssh-agent' then | 11:43 |
| usr13 | jamescarr: ssh-agent? | 11:44 |
| jamescarr | that doesnt run it "right" | 11:44 |
| jamescarr | meaning, ssh-add doesn't fing work | 11:44 |
| io | jamescarr: explain | 11:44 |
| ShantamMoonstar | usr13: not that at all, i like unity, just wondering if things would work better | 11:44 |
| jamescarr | everytime I run ssh-agent manually, I have to go and copy and past env variables manually and export them | 11:44 |
| usr13 | ShantamMoonstar: Oh, ok. | 11:44 |
| jamescarr | this means it doesnt work after reboot | 11:44 |
| tails_ | hi, i need a little help with gcc, c compiler for ubuntu. | 11:45 |

| scummos | hey -- i got some weird scanner driver here which requires a terribly old version of some library, but works fine with the new one (just dpkg doesn't know that). if forced dpkg to install the package ignoring the dependency, and everything works fine; only apt-get complains about borken dependencies | 11:48 |
| io | jamescarr: you said something about the environment variables being incorrect when using '$ ssh-agent' right? take a look at http://mah.everybody.org/docs/ssh | 11:48 |

| semerkhet | ok, i would like to give one interface two ipv4 and two ipv6 addresses. some network admins told me that it's ugly to use aliases for this (because it's the same device) and that ifconfig (net-tools) is depricated. so i'm trying to set it up using ip (iproute2) instead. only it doesn't seem to work. i'm currently trying to add an extra ipv4 address by adding the following to /etc/network/interfaces: up ip addr add x.x.x.x dev eth0 | 12:11 |

| Madara` | ? | 13:20 |
| cre7en | how can i join #ubuntu-cn please | 13:20 |
| ubuntufreak21 | and when went to media multi boot a=it said permission denied | 13:20 |
| ikonia | Madara`: search for shoutcast servers | 13:20 |
| stefan_ | cre7en: you can type /quit, then /join #ubuntu-cn | 13:20 |
| antivirtel | stefan_ maybe, I want to create a manual for my company. I like thoose manuals, what I linked, because it has a great table of contents, next buttons etc... - I dont think so that this is a single man page | 13:20 |
| d0me5t0s | stefan - not /quit | 13:20 |
| Dynamit | or write | 13:20 |
| ubuntufreak21 | when i went to media then multiboot, it said permission denied | 13:21 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what file system is on the disk ? | 13:21 |
| Dynamit | write /join #ubuntu-cn | 13:21 |
| ubuntufreak21 | and the owner and the user are root | 13:21 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: no - what file system is on it | 13:21 |
| d0me5t0s | simply /join #ubuntu-cn should be enough, and to leave this channel, do /part | 13:21 |
| pseubodot | antivirtel: LibreOffice Writer can do master and subdocuments, that might be an option. Personally, I've used LaTeX for complex documents and while the learning curve is high, it produces excellent documents. | 13:21 |
| ubuntufreak21 | oh kingston | 13:22 |
| pseubodot | antivirtel: It sounds like you want to do something online tho. | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: no - that is a brand, what file system, ext4, ntfs, hfs etc | 13:22 |
| stefan_ | antivirtel: google "how to create a man page" | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: it doesn't matter, the owner is "root" which is why you (you are not root) can't see it | 13:22 |
| caps_l0ck | hello all | 13:23 |
| antivirtel | pseubodot, yeah, I want to do a manual like that pages... and I dont want to work on formatting a lot... | 13:23 |
| caps_l0ck | can anyone help me with ubuntu please? | 13:23 |
| ikonia | caps_l0ck: ask a question | 13:23 |
| Dynamit | what is the problem | 13:23 |
| ubuntufreak21 | oh w95 fat32? | 13:24 |
| Dynamit | yes | 13:24 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: ok so that doesn't support permissions, so that's the reason it's set to the owner of root | 13:24 |
| antivirtel | stefan_ ok, I try it once more... | 13:24 |
| Bursihido | How to config and use tmux? | 13:25 |
| ubuntufreak21 | but it says its bootable though | 13:25 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: I'm sure it is | 13:25 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: bootability has nothing to do with how it's mounted | 13:25 |
| caps_l0ck | Ok, thanks. I had an ubuntu installation on live usb (persistence) for some reason it won't boot anymore. The files are still there because I can see them when I mount casper-rw on another pc. The problem is that my bitcoins are in my old ~/.bitcoin folder on the broken system. I cant get in because the folder is encrypted. Anyway I can get the wallet.dat file? | 13:26 |
| Bursihido | How to use tmux??? | 13:26 |
| ikonia | caps_l0ck: not unless you have the key | 13:27 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what if i formatted or partitioned the drive and started over? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what do you mean what if ? | 13:27 |
| ubuntufreak21 | so your saying its not possible/ | 13:28 |
| Lasers_ | caps_l0ck: So how much did you lose? :P | 13:28 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: saying what's not possible ? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: you've not said what you want to do | 13:28 |
| caps_l0ck | what key? | 13:29 |
| Dynamit | enc key | 13:29 |
| caps_l0ck | there was 4.28 BTC | 13:29 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: sorry, earlier I was just pointing out the irony in what you said as you did in what I said :) | 13:29 |
| ubuntufreak21 | to get permission to mount the drive | 13:29 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: ok - do you want to keep the data on the drive ? | 13:29 |
| mnemonic76 | Anyway, I had a screaming baby to tend to... back to installer issues. | 13:29 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no | 13:29 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: ok, so unmount it, and put an ubuntu compatible file system on it with a tool such as gparted | 13:30 |
| caps_l0ck | ikonia: what key? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: at that point you'll have no problem | 13:30 |
| ikonia | caps_l0ck: the encyption key | 13:30 |
| Dynamit | i answer that to | 13:30 |
| mnemonic76 | Any guess why the 11.04 hardware-detect piece doesn't see a simple 40gb ata drive that the 8.04 installer did? | 13:30 |
| ikonia | mnemonic76: support has been dropped ? | 13:30 |
| ubuntufreak21 | how do i get g partyed? | 13:31 |
| ubuntufreak21 | how do i get gparted lol | 13:31 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: install it through the package manager | 13:31 |
| ubuntufreak21 | ok | 13:31 |
| Dynamit | i use for the moste | 13:31 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: well, here's the really interesting bit: if I drop to a shell from the installer and do a fdisk -l /dev/sda it sees the 40gb drive.... | 13:31 |
| eon | hello everybody , I installed Mint and during the instlation I have set up the option : "encrypt my home partition" , now I want to decrypt the patition to make it visible to other OS , what should I do ? THanks | 13:31 |
| Dynamit | terminal and apt-get to install | 13:31 |
| caps_l0ck | ikonia: is there a way I can find the enc key? | 13:31 |
| d0me5t0s | I'm running natty on a pentium 4 - should I give unity the blame for running the system at 100% cpu doing nothing? | 13:31 |
| ikonia | mnemonic76: so it can see the drive, | 13:31 |
| Dynamit | use gnome classic to try | 13:32 |
| ikonia | eon: what other OS | 13:32 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: yes... the SHELL can, but the installer script misses it! Strange to me, but I never had to dig this deep into the installer scripts before. | 13:32 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: no, you should research it to find out what's eating the resource | 13:32 |
| eon | ikonia: pinguy OS | 13:32 |
| ikonia | eon: ok - so that's nothing to do with ubuntu | 13:33 |
| ikonia | eon: so we don't support/help with that | 13:33 |
| caps_l0ck | ikonia: is there a way I can find the enc key? | 13:33 |
| Lasers_ | !mint | eon (This is Ubuntu Channel) | 13:33 |
| ubottu | eon (This is Ubuntu Channel): Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 13:33 |
| d0me5t0s | ikonia, gnome-system-monitor is at the top of the CPU% list, but only at say 20% | 13:33 |
| d0me5t0s | everything else is below the radar | 13:34 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: so then there is no cpu issue | 13:34 |
| d0me5t0s | well the cpu history chart in System monitor shows 100% | 13:35 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: but it's not showing it now | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | Madara`, I've heard that VLC can stream live audio, but I've never tried it ...you'll have to research it , but there's support at #videolan | 13:35 |
| Aple | bout to install for the first time. Wish me luck | 13:35 |
| d0me5t0s | that's what's weird, I'm getting 100%, with only one process showing significant CPU and then only 20% - my assumption was that the rest is taken up by processes showing 0% | 13:36 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: are you currently getting %100 cpu usage, yes/no | 13:36 |
| Aple | Crap. Forgot CD-rom on laptop is dead. Can I boot from USB just the same? | 13:36 |
| ubuntufreak21 | k I unmounted what next? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: open gparted and put an ubuntu compatible file system (ext4) on it | 13:37 |
| d0me5t0s | yes - top is showing 70%us and 30%sy | 13:37 |
| Madara` | BluesKaj, thank you will give it a try | 13:37 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: ok, so it's a user process | 13:37 |
| ikonia | d0me5t0s: launch "top" and see what's using cpu | 13:37 |
| ubuntufreak21 | can you give me an example of one | 13:38 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: an example of what ? | 13:38 |
| ubuntufreak21 | ext 4 | 13:38 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: that IS the file system, ext4 | 13:38 |
| d0me5t0s | thanks ikonia - I'll investigate further along those lines | 13:39 |
| ubuntufreak21 | oh | 13:39 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: have you opened gparted ? | 13:39 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yes | 13:39 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i unmounted file | 13:39 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: right, so there should be an option if you click on the partition to put a file system on it | 13:39 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: or "format" it | 13:39 |
| eon | ikonia: Lasers ubottu Mint or ubuntu , they work the same , so the problems are solved ine the same manner . any way thanks for your help guys :) | 13:39 |
| ubuntufreak21 | um actually it wont let me unmount | 13:40 |
| Crupulus | Hello ? | 13:40 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i thought it unmounted but it didnt | 13:40 |
| ikonia | eon: you're not using it - so it's not supported here | 13:41 |
| mnemonic76 | Aple: go to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download it kindof walks you through it. | 13:41 |
| mnemonic76 | Aple: there's help getting it loaded on a usb drive, even if you're using windows! | 13:42 |
| Crupulus | Got an issue with lxde here - help please :p I installed it ("sudo apt-get install lxde"), but all tutorials say i just have to re-login, although that didn't work, and i have no idea where to enable it :/ (Ubuntu 11.04) | 13:42 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: The live desktop sees the drive too, but ubiquity fails 'unexpectedly'. Is there a way to install from the livecd without using the Ubiquity installer? | 13:43 |
| ikonia | mnemonic76: use the alternative install CD | 13:44 |
| ikonia | mnemonic76: make sure you log a bug too though | 13:44 |
| antivirtel | pseubodot, isnt it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texinfo ? | 13:44 |
| robin0800 | Crupulus, you click your name and select it at the bottom of the screen | 13:44 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: Yeah, I started with the minimal net boot cd, then tried the alternative... exact same issue. The hardware-detect sees a sata controller (there is none) then gives me the option to install to iSCSI (there is none) | 13:45 |
| ubuntufreak21 | how my gibs are so large like for sda1 its 231.90 GiB, /devsda2 extended 1012.00 MiB and for /dev/sda5 linux swap its 1012.00MiB | 13:46 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what are you talking about | 13:46 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: i will definitely submit a bug (first time for that ) | 13:46 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it wont letr me unount | 13:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: reboot then | 13:47 |
| Crupulus | robin0800 I'm currently on Unity i think, and when i click my name (top-right) I don't really have any option that can let me do that. I have the "About me", Chat Accounts, Broadcast accounts, etc. but not really what I need | 13:47 |
| ubuntufreak21 | on the red round thing on my login above my username should i click on that so it says my username or should it say ubuntu 11.04/ | 13:48 |
| robin0800 | Crupulus, at the logon screen | 13:48 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: just reboot your machine | 13:48 |
| Crupulus | ah :D hold on | 13:48 |
| ubuntufreak21 | ok | 13:48 |
| lapaga | Crupulus, log off, click your name to login, under that should be an option to choose | 13:49 |
| Crupulus | found, thanks | 13:49 |
| JayVan | how much RAM does a 64bit support? | 13:49 |
| mnemonic76 | ikonia: you're a saint. I was trying to help him last night. he reminds me of a kid I work with... jumps around a bit. | 13:50 |
| mnemonic76 | JayVan: like 384 GB or something ridiculous | 13:50 |
| ikonia | JayVan: a lot more than you could ever have | 13:51 |
| Gama11 | hey guys.. i'm looking for the location of local shared objects, but the filepath ~/.macromedia/ doesn't seem to exist? | 13:51 |
| edbian | JayVan: mnemonic76 wikipedia says that amd64 currently limits the address space to 256 TB | 13:51 |
| edbian | Gama11: It's hidden | 13:52 |
| JayVan | I see, I have a system that runs on 533MHZ, but I have 6GB worth of 667 MHZ and I also have 4GB worth of 533MHZ. Am i better off with the 667MHZ even though the system will run at 533 anyways? | 13:52 |
| Lasers_ | Gama11: Ctrl + H (to toggle visibility for hidden files/folders) -- If you haven't done that. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | JayVan: askm the guys in ##hardware | 13:52 |
| JayVan | thanks! | 13:52 |
| robin0800 | Gama11, ~ is home and . is hidden so now you know | 13:52 |
| Gama11 | oh.. didn't know, thx lasers_ | 13:52 |
| edbian | JayVan: If have 32bit hardware then you can only use 3.2Gb of ram. | 13:52 |
| babu | how to add gmail account in empathy....only jabber appears in my empathy | 13:52 |

| babu | is there any way to get the recently released ubuntu.. | 13:53 |
| mnemonic76 | edbian: Maybe that's windows limitation or something.. i have that number stuck in my head. | 13:53 |

| babu | how to add gmail account in empathy....only jabber appears in my empathy | 13:54 |
| ubuntufreak21 | k back | 13:54 |
| Lasers_ | babu: Get Debian. So little updates. Rock stable. Never need to download extra packages you never used. | 13:54 |
| ikonia | babu: you realise gmail is a mail service, | 13:54 |
| ubuntufreak21 | k back | 13:54 |

| vlt | babu: Just enter your gmail XMPP user name and gmail.com as server. Should work because gmail uses jabber/XMPP protocol. | 13:57 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i still cant format | 13:57 |
| ubuntufreak21 | anything | 13:57 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: you need to give details | 13:57 |
| ubuntufreak21 | permisiion denied | 13:57 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: how did you launch gparted ? | 13:58 |
| ubuntufreak21 | from synaptic package manager | 13:58 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: no, you don't launch software from the package manager, so I'll ask again how did you launch it | 13:58 |
| edbian | ubuntufreak21: synaptic is not used to launch (start) programs. It's used to install programs from the repos. | 13:59 |
| vlt | babu: Jabber IS XMPP, so just enter your accoutn data. | 14:00 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i searched gparted partition manager in synaptics installed it and searches for it on computer and launched it | 14:00 |
| edbian | ubuntufreak21: How did you 'search for it on the computer.' ? | 14:00 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: tell you what, open a terminal and type "gksudo gparted" | 14:00 |
| ikonia | edbian: I can't be bothered, lets just cut to the chase | 14:00 |
| edbian | ikonia: I love the chase. | 14:01 |

| ubuntufreak21 | it brings me back to the same thing lol | 14:02 |
| edbian | damno: I don't think so :) | 14:02 |
| ubuntufreak21 | to the same gparted lol | 14:02 |
| bloo | lol | 14:02 |
| edbian | ubuntufreak21: Are you miss typing your password? | 14:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | no | 14:03 |
| damno | edbian: but why would you want to do that? | 14:03 |
| ubuntufreak21 | nope | 14:04 |
| edbian | damno: Perhaps you just wanna look at your hdd partitions and not edit them and you don't have root privs? I don't think he should be doing that in this case. | 14:04 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: is the usb disk mounted ? | 14:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | one is | 14:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | but not the rest | 14:04 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: is the one you are trying to format mounted | 14:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | yes | 14:04 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: I told you it has to be unmounted | 14:04 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: you need to start listening and paying attention to what you are doing and being told to do | 14:04 |
| damno | edbian: then just use the disk usage analyzer from the accessories menu | 14:04 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i tried to do that but it keeps saying permission denied! | 14:05 |
| edbian | damno: good point! :P | 14:05 |
| damno | edbian: :) | 14:05 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: I told you to reboot, and then do it | 14:05 |

| edbian | ikonia: patience :) | 14:05 |
| edbian | aborady: reading | 14:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | wait im sorry permission is not denied | 14:05 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it says ineed to unmount manually | 14:06 |
| edbian | aborady: This happens occasionally. You want the fix, the explanation, both, or neither? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: ok do that | 14:06 |
| aborady | how can i get this fix ? | 14:06 |
| ubuntufreak21 | what are the syntax commands | 14:06 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: sudo mount /media/$disk_name | 14:07 |
| edbian | aborady: sudo rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* | 14:07 |

| JayVan | Question: how can I get the window snapping feature of Natty in Maverick? already tried Grid in compiz didnt like it | 14:08 |
| aborady | it happened before and i think wrote that before | 14:08 |
| aborady | what i've to do to prevent that to happen again | 14:08 |
| ikonia | aborady: remove that repo | 14:08 |
| edbian | JayVan: It's part of wobbly windows or window snap (they are mutually exclusive | 14:08 |
| edbian | aborady: remove that repo | 14:08 |
| aborady | ok i did , now updating | 14:08 |
| JayVan | edbian, cant seem to find that feature in Compiz in maverick. is it part of unity in Natty? | 14:09 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it came to this /media is not a block device | 14:09 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what did I tell you to do | 14:09 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what command did I tell you to use | 14:10 |

| Andrew131 | Sorry for off topic question: Do any of you cycle to work? | 14:12 |
| hendaus | edbian: wait let me see | 14:13 |
| Reighnakj | Is that a CD that I burned the ISO to? | 14:13 |

| ubottu | Andrew131: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 14:13 |
| edbian | hendaus: sure | 14:13 |
| Andrew131 | sorry | 14:13 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: is live CD the CD I burned the ISO to? | 14:13 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: yes. Remember to use my name like I'm doing for you. | 14:13 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: yes | 14:13 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: yes, I do. | 14:13 |
| edbian | Andrew131: I computer to work. | 14:13 |
| Andrew131 | edbian, pm | 14:14 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I don't want to have to reformat ubuntu though becuase I spent like 2 or 3 hours downloading WoW to it last night. | 14:14 |
| ubuntufreak21 | it says this sudo apt-get install udo | 14:14 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: what ? | 14:14 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Will your method of what your thinking just fix my problem? | 14:14 |
| dancerfire | so how would i clone ubuntu over to another hdd? | 14:14 |
| ubuntufreak21 | sorry | 14:14 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: We'll just fix fstab. Boot the live CD :) | 14:14 |
| robin0800 | Reighnakj, did you run sudo update-grub | 14:14 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: If you follow my instructions carefully this will not take long. | 14:14 |
| hendaus | edbian: how can i see brother coz i am newbie and i am using the natty version | 14:15 |
| edbian | hendaus: brother? | 14:15 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: booting from CD now. | 14:15 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: nervously waiting | 14:15 |
| ubuntufreak21 | actually it said this udo: unmount: command not found | 14:15 |
| Andrew131 | On topic question is it possible to use the HDMI port with an nvidia optimus card? Best I can tell no | 14:15 |
| qin | ubuntufreak21: umount | 14:15 |
| edbian | ubuntufreak21: It's umount | 14:15 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: look at the command I gave you | 14:15 |
| ikonia | 15:11 < ikonia> ubuntufreak21: sudo umount /dev/disk_name | 14:15 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: "sudo" - not "udo" and "umount" not "unmount" | 14:16 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: I've told you this many times now, please pay attentiopn | 14:16 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: it would help if I had the CD in the CD-ROM. | 14:16 |
| ubuntufreak21 | i did put that sudo unmount /dev/Kingston | 14:16 |
| ubuntufreak21 | but it keeps saying udo | 14:16 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That would be nice :) | 14:16 |
| ubuntufreak21 | lol | 14:16 |
| oCean | ubuntufreak21: umount not unmount | 14:16 |
| vlt | 16:10 < ikonia> ubuntufreak21: it's getting really annoying that you can't follow instructions or listen to what's been said | 14:16 |
| edbian | wow | 14:16 |
| ubuntufreak21 | oh | 14:16 |
| hendaus | edbian: ok just for respect | 14:17 |
| edbian | hendaus: ? | 14:17 |
| ikonia | ubuntufreak21: the command is "sudo" not "udo" and the command is "umount" not "unmount" | 14:17 |
| edbian | hendaus: I have no idea what you're talking about. | 14:17 |
| ubuntufreak21 | udo unmount /dev/Kingston | 14:17 |
| ubuntufreak21 | sudo: unmount: command not found | 14:17 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I am at a screen with an icon = and another icon | 14:17 |
| edbian | ubuntufreak21: Are you kidding? | 14:17 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: ... That's vague? | 14:17 |
| qin | ubuntufreak21: *umount* | 14:18 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: What do these icons represent? | 14:18 |
| Reighnakj | edbian one is a rectangle looking brief case and the other is a stick person in a circle. | 14:18 |
| hendaus | edbian: you told me to see if gstreamer-plugins... are installed , i told you i am newbie where can i see if the plugin installed or not | 14:18 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: there, it moved passed that screen. | 14:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Oh. The CD is still booting. That is the infamous stick man screen. It means 'press the keyboard to get to human interaction' | 14:19 |
| edbian | It is horribly vauge, not your fault. | 14:19 |

| cdavis | Are there any repositories that contain the last versions of jaunty packages? | 14:19 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: this is where I have always gotten stuck when I boot from CD. I am now at the ubuntu loading screen. | 14:19 |
| savr | LOL | 14:20 |
| hendaus | edbian: forget it :) | 14:20 |
| bazhang | red_rail, xchat irssi quassel weechat and others are there. choose one from the package manager and decide | 14:20 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The CD gets stuck too? I thought you said the HDD install would get stuck? How did you install Ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| edbian | hendaus: :) | 14:20 |
| red_rail | thanks | 14:20 |
| * edbian thinks ubuntufreak21 was a troll | 14:21 | |
| mnemonic76 | Is there a way to install ubuntu 11.04 from the livecd without using the Ubiquity installer? A manual way from terminal maybe? | 14:21 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I was trying to boot from disc and load it that way so it would take all the memory on my HD (I assumed) but I had to download it from my Windows XP environment. | 14:21 |
| oCean | cdavis: since jaunty is EOL, repositories have been moved, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 14:21 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: it normally just sits at the ubuntu loading cd for a looooooooooong time with the dots moving. | 14:21 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I think you installed using wubi. | 14:21 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: You installed from inside windows? | 14:22 |
| mnemonic76 | edbian: He was on for hours last nite asking the same kinds of questions.. he got impatient and insulted someone, then felt bad and apollogised. I think he's a young kid. | 14:22 |
| edbian | mnemonic76: thanks | 14:22 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I installed from my laptop with Windows 7. | 14:22 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: wait... | 14:22 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Yeah. So you've never booted a liveCD or liveUSB | 14:22 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: waiting :) | 14:22 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I downloaded it from Windows 7 and burned it to a disk on Windows 7. | 14:22 |
| cdavis | oCean: Thanks but I don't want to upgrade. I need to install Jaunty with bacula for a test. | 14:23 |
| hendaus | edbian: yes are installed | 14:23 |
| oCean | cdavis: have you read the link I sent? | 14:23 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Ok. So then you put the CD in the drive and booted it? (You're implying conflicting things) | 14:23 |
| aborady | thnx removing the repo success | 14:23 |
| cdavis | oCean: I read the first paragraph or two, it talked about why upgrade and how to do it....I will go re-read it | 14:23 |
| aborady | thaaaank you everybody | 14:24 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I tried to do that, but it would just sit at the screen with the loading dots too long. | 14:24 |
| edbian | hendaus: I'm not sure then. Try using VLC | 14:24 |
| ron__ | i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 14:24 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: So, I stopped trying that and just ran the CD in Windows XP. | 14:24 |
| oCean | cdavis: it explains that eol repositories are available in a new url e.g. old-releases.ubuntu.com/ | 14:24 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Ok. So you're never gotten a liveCD to boot. Do you have windows7 and windowsxp ? | 14:24 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: The machine I am trying to put ubuntu on has XP. | 14:25 |
| ron34563654 | i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 14:25 |
| ron34563654 | this chat isn't workng | 14:25 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The laptop has windows 7 (that laptop that created the liveCD) is that right? | 14:25 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Should I log onto Windows XP and download ubuntu from there and make the CD on that desktop? | 14:25 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I understand now I think. You installed using wubi on your windows xp machine | 14:25 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: what is wubi? | 14:26 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The OS is likely not the cause of the problem. (win 7 or xp) LiveCDs sometimes don't like to boot because the CD has errors on it. From dust or from the burn or from the ISO originally. | 14:26 |
| Dynamit | wubi is windows installer for ubuntu | 14:26 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: wubi is software that lets you install Ubuntu from inside windows. It does not require y ou to boot a liveCD | 14:26 |
| Dynamit | that install virtual harddriver and let's select windows or Ubuntu on boot | 14:27 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: If you used wubi you have 'ubuntu' as an installed program in add/remove on windows. | 14:27 |
| vlt | ron34563654: What client do you use? | 14:27 |
| Reighnakj | Dynamit: edbian: I just opened mycomputer and right clicked the E: drive and did auto play. | 14:27 |
| Reighnakj | then the installer poped up. | 14:27 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That's wubi | 14:27 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: when I try to boot from disk though, it just sits at the ubuntu screen. Is wubi a bad thing? | 14:28 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Wubi is not *bad* it just often complicates things. Like right now I'm not sure I could fix your fstab from memory. | 14:28 |
| cdavis | oCean: Thank you | 14:28 |
| Reighnakj | Dynamit: I have to select that everytime I start my computer. | 14:28 |
| george__ | anyone here play quake live? | 14:29 |
| edbian | I just accidentally detached this room from xchat. How do I re-attach it?? | 14:29 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: anywho. Fixing it might be hard. Can you talk to me while you try to boot ubuntu (from the hdd) of the target machine? | 14:29 |
| edbian | nevermind, figured out the attach thing | 14:29 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: update.... | 14:30 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: update? | 14:30 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: After letting the ubuntu loading screen go for a while, I have an error. | 14:30 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Let me pastebin it. | 14:30 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I/O error <number> sr0 ? | 14:30 |

| Alan502 | Hi! I have some questions relating to windows server and ubuntu, can someone help me? | 14:31 |
| dancerfire | !ask | Alan502 | 14:32 |
| ubottu | Alan502: 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. :-) | 14:32 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: http://pastebin.com/95btt5Jd | 14:32 |
| Alan502 | Well, is ubuntu compatible with windows server networks like macintosh machines? | 14:33 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: "Udevd[76]: worker [167] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100" | 14:33 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Yeah it had trouble reading the CD. I don't wanna bother with the CD. Can you try to boot Ubuntu on the target machine (from the hdd) and still talk to me at the same time? I wanna try to do the manual thing together | 14:33 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Forget these errors | 14:33 |
| Reighnakj | Yes | 14:33 |
| Reighnakj | edbian | 14:33 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: great, do it | 14:33 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: normal or recovery mode? | 14:34 |

| edbian | Reighnakj: what is s and what is m? | 14:35 |
| vlt | Alan502: I think you need to be more specific. | 14:35 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery. | 14:35 |
| Alan502 | vlt, thanks, but I'm not really familiar with Windows Server myself :P | 14:36 |
| Bipul | have any one use this service http://www.asterisk.org/ on ubuntu | 14:36 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: What happens with S ? (can't imagine it's ok to skip any mounting) | 14:36 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: there is an error above that... "WARNING: bad format on line 10 of /etc/fstab" | 14:36 |
| Alan502 | maybe if I explain my problem more clearly | 14:36 |
| vlt | Bipul: Service? | 14:36 |
| Bipul | like VoIP Calls | 14:36 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: S got me to the recovery menu. | 14:36 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: You editing /etc/fstab is the problem. | 14:36 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: what is the recovery menu like? | 14:37 |
| etel | Does anyone here have experience with tf (Tiny Fugue)? I'm having problems compiling it with the SOCKS option. | 14:37 |
| Alan502 | I'm going to a school where they use windows server for file sharing, e-mail and other purposes; AFAIK both windows machines and macintosh machines are compatible with their configuration but I'd like to know if ubuntu is compatible as well? | 14:37 |
| vlt | Bipul: What do you actually want to know? | 14:37 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Menu: resume "resume normal boot", clean "try to make free space" dpkg"repair broiken packages" | 14:37 |
| Reighnakj | ... | 14:37 |

| Alan502 | Yes, I'm not being clear enough. | 14:38 |

| Reighnakj | edbian: k | 14:38 |
| vlt | Alan502: Ubuntu can mount file shares. Ubuntu can connect to an IMAP server. | 14:38 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Perhaps we can use that to edit /etc/fstab so it's correct again | 14:38 |
| Guest2466 | im a brazilian user of ubuntu :) hello people | 14:38 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: vi /etc/fstab? | 14:38 |

| edbian | Reighnakj: editing that file? | 14:39 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Yes. | 14:39 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: What were you trying to accomplish by editing this file in the first place? | 14:39 |
| etel | thank you vit. I did previously. | 14:39 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I was trying to add a swapfile to give more memory to ubuntu so WoW could run. | 14:40 |
| vlt | Alan502: To answer that I think we'll have to create a list of single features and see if it's supported somehow or not. | 14:40 |
| Alan502 | perhaps what are the "main features" that are not supported? | 14:40 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: a-ha What does /etc/fstab look like right now? can you pastebin it? | 14:40 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: give me a minute. | 14:40 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: take your time | 14:40 |
| sublime | Hi, rhin0 tells me that it is better to use python for shell scripting than a scripting language like bash or csh. Is this true? | 14:41 |
| vlt | !who | Alan502 | 14:41 |
| ubottu | Alan502: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:41 |
| rhin0 | i said it *may* be -- in some circumstances | 14:41 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: do the errors say what is wrong with /etc/fstab? Like which partitions are not mounting or line numbers or anything? | 14:41 |
| Alan502 | vlt, perhaps what are the "main features" that are not supported? | 14:41 |
| vlt | Alan502: I don't know. Name a feature and we'll see ;-) | 14:41 |
| * rhin0 pokes sublime in the eye, deliberately | 14:41 | |
| Alan502 | Hahaha, that's the thing! but thanks | 14:42 |
| rhin0 | good thing about python is its always there and has its own shell -- can even replace the bash shell (idle) | 14:42 |
| Reighnakj | http://pastebin.com/tL2ZHLyF | 14:42 |
| Reighnakj | edbian^ | 14:43 |
| oCean | sublime: There is no single "best". Each has its uses. | 14:43 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I can't remember. | 14:43 |
| sublime | rhin0, python is NOT a replacement for sehll scripting | 14:43 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: ok | 14:43 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I am concerned with the last three lines actually. | 14:43 |
| sublime | oCean, of course. I am asking specifically about shell scripting | 14:43 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: reading... | 14:43 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: the first one looks like it should say "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk/" where it is missing a "h" and has an extra " " | 14:44 |
| edbian | well there is an unnecessary enter in there | 14:44 |
| edbian | The last two should be one line | 14:44 |
| apple | is there any program in ubuntu that is an offline journal and lets me import old blogger entries into it? | 14:44 |
| oCean | sublime: it depends on what you want to do. It's quite a generic discussion, so you might also try the relevant channels and/or ##linux | 14:44 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ | 14:44 |
| edbian | hang on | 14:44 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: is there anyway to undo all that and get my /etc/fstab/ back to normal? | 14:45 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I still really don't even know what that did. | 14:45 |
| bastidrazor | !swap | Reighnakj ::this guide is the best | 14:45 |
| ubottu | Reighnakj ::this guide is the best: 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 | 14:45 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Is there a /etc/fstab.bak or something like that? | 14:45 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I dought it. | 14:46 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Unless you made it manually there will not be one | 14:46 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: no. | 14:46 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Ok. Hang on. I'm editing the /etc/fstab | 14:47 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: vi was giving me a hard time so I may have messed up more than just entering the last line. | 14:47 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Plus, it is a read-only file now, I think. | 14:47 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: http://pastebin.com/wYTxwAL3 | 14:48 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I think that is correct. Remember to put that h back on the second line. If you can't edit / save do sudo nano /etc/fstab (but you're root so you should be able to edit) | 14:49 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: Before that... at the bottom of nano, it says "[ Read 12 lines (Warning: No write permission) ]" | 14:49 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: i'll try sudo. | 14:49 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: strange. exit nano and use nano | 14:49 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: exit nano and use sudo nano* | 14:49 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: that gave me a blank file. | 14:50 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: sudo nano /etc/fstab of course :) | 14:50 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: why? | 14:50 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: To edit the file as root so we have writing permission | 14:50 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: sudo nano /etc/fstab/* | 14:50 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: sudo nano /etc/fstab/ is the command | 14:51 |

| Reighnakj | edbian: I don't know why you have to do that with sudo, but ok. | 14:52 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I need a guide that tells me all the basic commands still. | 14:52 |
| xangua | ... | 14:52 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Me either. We're in a root shell so we shouldn't have to sudo anything at all. | 14:52 |

| edbian | Reighnakj: sudo -> makes you root nano -> text editor | 14:52 |

| Reighnakj | edbian: Let me try what you gave me. | 14:53 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: great | 14:53 |
| edbian | It's an educated guess. I'm not sure the file is correct | 14:53 |
| edbian | There was a trailing period on the third line that was very confusing. | 14:54 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: what about the space after root.disk | 14:54 |
| hendaus | can anyone tell me what codecs needs to play a .mkv file on natty plz! | 14:54 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: that space is fine. It's actually a tab | 14:54 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The file is a table. The columns are listed at the top. | 14:54 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: file system, mount point, type | 14:55 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: get it? | 14:55 |
| Reighnakj | yes | 14:55 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: :) | 14:55 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: "[ Error writing /etc/fstab: Read-only file system ]" | 14:55 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: that was from me trying to exit and save. | 14:55 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: oohhhh, maybe the whole OS is read only right now. | 14:55 |
| edbian | arrrgghgh | 14:55 |

| edbian | Reighnakj: alright... | 14:58 |
| xangua | codename09: what's the output of¿: compiz --replace & | 14:58 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Lemme think then. | 14:58 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: should I go buy one? | 14:58 |
| hendaus | xangua: yes i install it now and the mkv file shows: an error occured, | 14:58 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: ha, no | 14:58 |
| hendaus | xangua: Could not determine type of stream. | 14:59 |

| Reighnakj | edbian: ok. | 15:03 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That is absolutely not going to help anything | 15:03 |

| Trfsrfr | So I wont be able to watch some dvd's? | 15:07 |
| mrdeb | ? | 15:07 |
| mrdeb | Trfsrfr: no, yoy can wtach all of them i you intsall dvdcss2 from medubuntu | 15:07 |
| edbian | mrdeb: use vlc, don't install codecs | 15:07 |
| codename09 | edbian: oh i thought you asked for the output of the compiz --replace & command | 15:08 |
| edbian | codename09: nope :) What are you trying to do ? | 15:08 |
| mrdeb | edbian: vlc takes another 270mb if i install it on this disk. my whoe install right now is 900mb | 15:08 |
| vlt | Trfsrfr: You could install a lib that decrypts the css. Available on medibuntu.org | 15:08 |
| edbian | mrdeb: I don't know. get a bigger partition? | 15:08 |
| mrdeb | edbian: i have the disk space, but i like seeing it under 1gb | 15:08 |

| codename09 | edbian: well i dont have a graphic card ..:( | 15:09 |
| ehnde | i'm having a problem where i have 2 default routes. how do i fix this? (i have 4 network cards all plugged into a switch) | 15:09 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: typing it into paste bin. | 15:10 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: reading it off one monitor and typing it into another. | 15:10 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: later we'll try to install pastebinit (much easier) | 15:10 |
| codename09 | but i think it worked on previous version .. i m using 11.04 now | 15:10 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: anywho. at that shell can you nano /etc/fstab ? | 15:10 |
| edbian | codename09: I'm not sure then :( | 15:10 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: yes. | 15:10 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Can you edit the file and save the changes? | 15:11 |
| codename09 | edbian: thanks anyway ! | 15:11 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: same error, read-only file system. | 15:11 |
| edbian | codename09: good luck!!! | 15:11 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Well then what is the point of this shell!?!? | 15:11 |
| Crupulus | Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx | 15:11 |
| edbian | :( | 15:11 |
| codename09 | edbian: can i just troubleshoot that anywhere else ?! i mean on a different channel ? | 15:12 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I don't think we can do this without booting a liveCD or a liveUSB. | 15:12 |
| edbian | codename09: There is a #compiz | 15:12 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: do I need to change my swapfile from swapfile1 back to just swap? | 15:12 |
| codename09 | edbain: okay ... thanks for helpin. | 15:13 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That's not necessarily the issue. I think the issue is the missing h. Not that it matters, I can't find a way to edit that file. | 15:13 |
| Reighnakj | edbain: do "# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=524288" but back to default? | 15:13 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: ok. | 15:13 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: to edit it, I used vi. I didn't know how to use vi so I was just pressing buttons until I could write. | 15:14 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I probably delete the h and changed it to read only. Plus, I could have messed other things up. | 15:14 |
| gbili | hello, does anyone know why there is a vertical shrink all across a horizontal line in my display? is this because of ubuntu | 15:14 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That command with blank the swap file. I don't think that will help. | 15:14 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: yes that is clear :) vi sucks. | 15:14 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I wish I knew about nano before I did this... | 15:15 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The reason the FS is read only is because the file is broken. It is not the file that is marked read only. It's the OS refusing to mount the partition as anything but read only. | 15:15 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Booting a liveCD / liveUSB would fix this problem but we can't do that. | 15:15 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: That's ok. Do you have important stuff saved? We could always just reinstall wubi | 15:15 |
| vlt | Reighnakj: You didn't know how to use it and that's why it sucks? | 15:15 |
| apple | I exported my blogger as an .xml, is there a program that I can view it offline with proper formatting? | 15:16 |
| apple | and not a jumble of text | 15:16 |
| Reighnakj | vlt: there is no menu with what commands you can do. | 15:16 |
| Crupulus | Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx | 15:16 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: could I repair with wubi? | 15:16 |
| vlt | Reighnakj: But there's lots of documentaion. | 15:16 |
| bastidrazor | apple: scite may be just what you need. | 15:16 |
| Reighnakj | vlt: nano is just easy to use. | 15:16 |
| apple | bastidrazor: , thank you | 15:16 |
| Reighnakj | vlt: now that I am using it. | 15:17 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: The way I see it. The only way to repair it is to use a liveUSB or liveCD | 15:17 |
| Reighnakj | vlt: I probably shoudl have read up on vi before, though. | 15:17 |
| edbian | vlt: I said it sucks | 15:17 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: the only thing important on ubuntu right now is a 10gb download that I did last night. | 15:17 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: but I can redo it, I guess. | 15:17 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: You can get that 10Gb back (and maybe fix wubi) if you can boot a liveCD or liveUSB | 15:18 |
| vlt | Reighnakj: Oh sorry, edbian said that ;-) | 15:18 |
| edbian | vlt: and it does suck! | 15:18 |
| edbian | :P | 15:18 |
| mrdeb | edbian: i am now over 1gb. :/ | 15:18 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Perhaps you can try a different liveCD besides Ubuntu. There are others out there that are smaller and easier to get to boot | 15:18 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: is there anyway to use "mount *my mount thing*" command? | 15:18 |
| edbian | mrdeb: Are you making a liveCD? | 15:18 |
| vlt | edbian: In a good way. You meant sucks in a good way, right? | 15:18 |
| mrdeb | edbian: no | 15:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I'm not sure... | 15:19 |
| edbian | vlt: ha, yeah sure | 15:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: maybe | 15:19 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: so what are you suggesting? | 15:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: hang on | 15:19 |
| Reighnakj | ok | 15:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I have an idea :) | 15:19 |
| mrdeb | can i log in with live usb and dd the entire disk into a file on a usb stick to have a restore thing, and then back? will this copy back grub too | 15:19 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Are in you in the root@ubuntu shell ?? | 15:19 |
| Reighnakj | ues | 15:19 |
| Reighnakj | yes | 15:19 |
| Crupulus | Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx | 15:20 |
| edbian | mrdeb: no grub is in /boot/grub/ and the mbr (which wont't be copied) | 15:20 |
| mrdeb | edbian: how do i do the grub then also | 15:20 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: mount /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / | 15:20 |
| gbili | has anyone experienced an horizontal line in their monitor, where the display is shrinked vertically? | 15:20 |
| edbian | mrdeb: dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr bs=512 c=1 | 15:20 |
| edbian | mrdeb: I think :) | 15:20 |
| edbian | mrdeb: You need to grab the first 512 bytes. You can confirm it's right by looking at the output file using the 'file' command. | 15:21 |
| mrdeb | edbian: so that will copy everything including grub to a restore file? | 15:21 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: after entering that: "mount: /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?)" | 15:21 |
| edbian | mrdeb: That command I gave will only copy the grub bit that's int he mbr. Nothing else | 15:21 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: sure give it -o loop (this is a good sign) | 15:21 |
| mrdeb | so then to restore i would hae to dd the whole thing then dd again the grub | 15:22 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk/ / | 15:22 |
| Reighnakj | you changed the ending? | 15:22 |
| edbian | mrdeb: To copy you dd twice once for grub once for the other partition. The to restore you dd grub back to the mbr and the partition copy onto the new partition. | 15:22 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I did not. I added -o loop in there | 15:22 |
| mrdeb | oh i see | 15:23 |
| edbian | oh | 15:23 |
| edbian | so I did | 15:23 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I added an extra / | 15:23 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: alright... | 15:23 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / | 15:23 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: "mount" according to mtab /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk is already mounted on / as loop" | 15:23 |
| mrdeb | can you give me the command in pm again, the two commands to copy and restore, say to file RESTOREpart1 and RESTOREgrubmbr | 15:23 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: umount / | 15:23 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: that will unmount it. Then try my command again | 15:24 |
| Crupulus | Hey, on LXDE, where can I change the keyboard layout ? can't find where :/ Thx | 15:24 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: still says the same thing. | 15:24 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: umount / says / is already mounted? | 15:24 |
| edbian | Umount ?? | 15:24 |
| edbian | with a u? | 15:24 |
| sudokill | Crupulus, do you want to set a single layout permanently or be able to switch? | 15:24 |
| Crupulus | any | 15:24 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: umount / just put me back to the cmd line. | 15:24 |
| Crupulus | but set single once for all would be better | 15:25 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: no info was displayed after umount / | 15:25 |
| sudokill | Crupulus, what layout do you want | 15:25 |
| Crupulus | on Unity, i can change it easily | 15:25 |
| Crupulus | but i need azerty here. | 15:25 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: No news is good news. | 15:25 |
| sudokill | i had to change mine in xorg.conf i think | 15:25 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: Try to mount it again :) | 15:25 |
| ron34563654 | i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 15:25 |
| sudokill | Crupulus, what layout is it you want? | 15:25 |
| Crupulus | Azerty | 15:26 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: alright... it was giving me the "it is already mount on / as loop" after the umount, so I took out the loop and left the -o... | 15:26 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: and... | 15:26 |
| sudokill | Crupulus, i changed mine wiht loadkeys and added it to startup | 15:26 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: now it says "/ost/ubuntu/jdisks/root.disk: No such file or directory" but in my command I have the h in there. | 15:26 |
| magpii | i need help with a forgotton password on laptop. i am running ubuntu and cant log on. anyone help pleas? | 15:26 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: I think it's looking at the /etc/fstab | 15:27 |
| Crupulus | loadkeys ? | 15:27 |
| Reighnakj | So, what is the work around to get into fstab as read-write? | 15:27 |
| Reighnakj | lol | 15:27 |
| sudokill | not loadkeys, setxkbmap | 15:27 |
| vlt | magpii: Use live CD or edit the grub entry in the boot menu. | 15:27 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: yeah, idk that's the problem remember! | 15:27 |
| sudokill | loadkeys is similar | 15:27 |
| mrdeb | well thanks for your help | 15:27 |
| mrdeb | i will write it down | 15:27 |
| Crupulus | Well tbh I installed ubuntu today and it's my first time use, so i've got no idea what you're saying lol. | 15:27 |
| magpii | how do i edit the grub entry? i pressed esc at bootup and allit does is give me option to boot from hd or cd | 15:28 |
| vlt | magpii: In newer Ubuntu versions with grub2 you have to hold shift key while loading grub. | 15:28 |
| magpii | ok, brb, will give that a try | 15:28 |
| asathoor | Welcome to Crupulus | 15:28 |

| mlmg317-himts | Anyone? | 15:42 |
| Reighnakj | edbian: I am going to do that. | 15:43 |
| edbian | Reighnakj: it's just sudo apt-get purge gnome-power-manager and then sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager | 15:43 |

| * Reighnakj slaps edbian around a bit with a large trout | 15:43 | |

| rumpe1 | gribouille, ^ refers to [] as "not" i guess | 16:05 |

| gribouille | Fuchs, they are what ? | 16:06 |
| gribouille | Fuchs, they are case sensitive | 16:06 |
| Fuchs | that's what I told you | 16:06 |
| poil | MagicJ I installed 11.04 today on a netbook, and to make it boot on usb stick I had to change priorities in bios | 16:06 |
| Fuchs | and since you are only looking for upper case letters, it won't find the lower case b | 16:06 |
| mrdeb | MagicJ_: it has to do with broadcom. you will need to blcklist ssb and i think b43 in grub by holding shift before booting and editing the line, but i dont remember wht hte text is, i think its somethign with blacklisting | 16:06 |
| gribouille | Fuchs, so, echo b | egrep '^[A-Z_]+$' should have no result | 16:07 |
| poil | In LXDE where can I get to network options such as wifi ? (wifi isn't working on lxde :/) Ty! | 16:07 |
| mrdeb | MagicJ_: then once ou ar in the desktop, balcklist both in blacklist.conf and then istall broadcom driver in jcokey | 16:07 |

| gribouille | echo b | egrep -o '^[A-Z_]+$' doesn't yield anything | 16:09 |
| kevin_ | which is correct | 16:10 |
| Fuchs | gribouille: again, they are case sensitive | 16:10 |
| gribouille | but the exit code is 0, so egrep matched | 16:10 |

| scott | I'm trying to get my Ubuntu 10.10 system to recognize hard drives hooked up to my vt6410 pci ide card. can anyone help? | 16:21 |
| io | scott: you've given little information on the exact problems that you're facing - can you explain further what you need help with? | 16:22 |
| scott | ok, my pci ide/raid card gets detected and is seen when i go to disk utility | 16:23 |
| scott | but i have two hard drives hooked to it and my system doesn't see them | 16:23 |
| scott | when i boot into windows they are detected fine | 16:23 |
| scott | if you need more info, just let me know what ya need | 16:26 |
| el_seano | hm... if they're picked up by windows then that would imply your BIOS is detecting them fine. | 16:28 |
| el_seano | perhaps you need to mount the drives? | 16:28 |
| scott | the issue is that it is a pci addon card | 16:29 |
| scott | the pci ide controller doesn't get seen until windows is actually loaded | 16:29 |
| scott | i don't see them in the bios | 16:29 |
| scott | unless it happens before my video gets booted up | 16:29 |
| el_seano | ah ha | 16:29 |
| scott | like i can't boot off of em, but once i get booted into something then it can find them | 16:30 |
| scott | but i don't care about that, i don't need to boot off em | 16:30 |
| scott | i just would like to be able to access them once inside ubuntu | 16:31 |
| el_seano | right. | 16:31 |
| scott | the pci ide card gets seen by ubuntu but not the drives i have plugged into it | 16:31 |
| el_seano | my guess is Ubuntu is missing firmware to talk with your controller. | 16:31 |
| el_seano | do you happen to know the brand/make/model? | 16:32 |
| scott | Via VT6410 | 16:32 |
| scott | like i said ubuntu recognizes the ide card, but not the drives | 16:32 |
| Arikoth | anyone here good with wifi issues? | 16:32 |
| el_seano | Arikoth: what's the issue? | 16:33 |
| psusi | scott, the disk utility does show the controller, just with no drives? that is odd... check your dmesg for any kernel errors related to it? | 16:34 |
| spacesheep | Hello!I just reinstalled Ubuntu 11.04 so i can remove my windows 7 partition on my dell inspiron N5010 which runs Intel Core i3. The problem is my laptop randomly shutdown during medium high cpu usage. Is there any solution to this?Does upgading the kernel to 2.6.39.0 solve the problem? | 16:34 |
| Arikoth | I have a netbook with a broadcom card, and I'm 99.9% sure the wifi is freezing the system up, yet it worked fine right after install. Only after the first reboot has the issue appeared | 16:34 |
| xteejx | spacesheep: Sounds like an ACPI or CPU stepping issue causing overheat | 16:35 |
| el_seano | Arikoth: does your netbook run hot before it shuts down? | 16:35 |
| el_seano | Arikoth: sorry, freezing | 16:35 |
| Arikoth | nope, it's pretty much an instant freeze | 16:36 |
| Arikoth | I'm sure it's wifi | 16:36 |
| Arikoth | If i kill the wifi with Fn before i type in my password it doesn't have any issues...or wifi :P | 16:36 |

| spacesheep | xteejx: Thanks for the hint :) | 16:37 |
| el_seano | scott: try looking for lines that say "ATA", or "sd*" | 16:38 |
| xteejx | spacesheep: I found the same problem with my laptop, but if you add the CPIU scaling monitor widgets to the top or bottom panel, you can back down the cpu while installing :) | 16:38 |
| psusi | scott, you might check with lspci -v to make sure that it actually has a driver loaded | 16:38 |
| el_seano | Arikoth: which driver are you using for your card? | 16:38 |
| Adam_ | lspci -k | 16:38 |
| bhavesh | coz_ found something? | 16:38 |

| Nobgul-bnc | lduros, May want to ask in #bash | 16:41 |
| el_seano | lduros: it's generally good practice to place a 'bin' directory in your homedir. You can add that directory to your path by adding this line to the end of your ~/.bashrc file: | 16:41 |
| el_seano | PATH=$PATH:~/bin | 16:41 |
| lduros | Nobgul-bnc el_seano: ok thanks | 16:42 |
| el_seano | however, rather than using that, I would recommend just making an alias | 16:42 |
| io | lduros: '$ echo "alias py27=/usr/local/bin/python2.7" > ~/.bashrc' | 16:42 |
| Arikoth | el_seano: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 80.211b/n/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) | 16:42 |
| lduros | io el_seano: ahh that's an alias ok. So an alias isn't a symbolic link, it's just a mapping of a name to a binary right? | 16:42 |
| io | lduros: it's just an alias | 16:43 |
| lduros | io: ok | 16:43 |

| Reighnakj | mgolisch: I know I have an icon for WoW on my desktop. Does that mean, that is where it is located? | 16:56 |
| Reighnakj | mgolisch: OR is that just a shortcut, like windows. | 16:56 |
| el_seano | bustaplz: ah my bad. You're going to want to go with FAT32 or VFAT | 16:57 |
| Nobgul-bnc | Reighnakj, There will be a arrow like in windows if it is just a symlink | 16:57 |
| Nobgul-bnc | Reighnakj, So if there is no arrow on the folder then yes that is most likely where wow was installed to | 16:57 |
| bustaplz | el_seano: I was under the impression that FAT32 couldn't handle a 2TB drive. Do I need to use something like FAT32 or NTFS if I'm using smb to share? | 16:57 |
| el_seano | for windows, anyway. Although I think samba takes care of the filesystem, if you're setting up your shares with that. | 16:57 |
| Reighnakj | Nobgul-bnc: So, that is in /home/sfadmin/Desktop. Is that the / directory? | 16:58 |
| gohdan | what part of compiz handles the bell? because it worked before i started poking around. i use compiz for the accessibility options because i have poor vision and i really need the audible feed back from the terminal. | 16:58 |

| Reighnakj | Nobgul-bnc yes. | 17:05 |

| airon90 | BluesKaj: in this case I have to make a flyer where to insert some text and some images but I don't hink LibO (Ooo) is what I need... Should I need an image editor (like Photoshop)? (Logically I only look for free software. So no Wine or similar) | 17:06 |
| Reighnakj | I just set it to C: and let the install space the default. | 17:06 |

| airon90 | @Nobgul-bnc: Is it simple-to-use or is it a technical program (I never used GIMP)? | 17:07 |
| Nobgul-bnc | airon90, Gimp and gimpshop are both real easy to use. | 17:08 |

| edgy | ikonia: I tried now ctrl-alt+F1 to go to console and now crtlaltdel gives nothing, it should echo the message at least, no? | 17:16 |
| ikonia | edgy: I suspect there is no shell to "echo" to | 17:17 |
| mgolisch | yeah it probably goes to messages | 17:17 |
| mgolisch | or something | 17:17 |
| mgolisch | no idea where init logs its stuff | 17:17 |
| ikonia | it's not logging | 17:18 |
| ikonia | it's an echo command, so it won't go anywhere if there is no shell | 17:18 |

| knapper_tech | btw, the problem is related to mindlessly following install instructions for gccsense. there is no code-assist built package in ubuntu, so building some custom gcc is a requirement as far as i can tell | 17:34 |

| knapper_tech | at current my system is f'd. no synaptics, no aptitude | 17:34 |
| ikonia | knapper_tech: I strongly advise against it, if you have changed your glibc component your systems base/core libraries will be unsupportable | 17:35 |

| ubottu | misterandrouserl: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 17:56 |
| dury | Trigger911: that's not what I want to do | 17:56 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, yea just playing around with ubuntu ... i tried it once back in 6.00 days i hated it ... seems good but unity sucks for a box ... tablet or phone id like it but not one a full system | 17:56 |
| misterandrouserl | oCean wow ^_^ ty | 17:56 |
| dury | want to convert for example .mp4 in .avi and opossite | 17:57 |

| pfifo | dury, ffmpeg is in the repos for 11.04, however youll need to compile yourself if you want all the non-free codecs | 17:57 |
| leeloo_ | Anyone knows how to go from unity-2d-default-settings back to unity 3d? | 17:57 |
| brianherman | drug, if you want a graphical one you can use vlc or handbrake | 17:57 |
| zykotick9 | dury, if you want to create mp4 file in ubuntu check out handbrake (ffmpeg from Ubuntu won't do MP4s) | 17:57 |
| brianherman | dury | 17:57 |
| brianherman | i mean | 17:57 |
| stefan_ | how do i use scp? i ssh'd to a server, and i want to refer to my machine. how do I do this? | 17:57 |
| ron34563654 | i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 17:58 |
| oCean | stefan_: you want to transfer a file on the server to your machine? | 17:58 |
| stefan_ | i.e. scp thismachine:path/file.ext path-in-server/ | 17:58 |
| pfifo | stefan_, you dont ssh, scp will do that automatically | 17:58 |
| bt | Ron what is your chipset for your card | 17:58 |
| stefan_ | no | 17:58 |
| stefan_ | oCean: vice versa | 17:58 |
| oCean | stefan_: then log out from the server, and from your machine do: scp /path/to/file user@host:/path/to/destination | 17:59 |
| dury | zykotick9: mp4 to avi or mov | 17:59 |
| stefan_ | aww | 17:59 |
| stefan_ | ok | 17:59 |
| stefan_ | thanks | 17:59 |
| zykotick9 | dury, i imagine ffmpeg can be used for mp4 to avi/mov ok. Handbrake ONLY does MP4/MKV as outputs. | 18:00 |
| misterandrouserl | i can compile ubunto for arm platform? i use acer iconia a500 w/ android3.1 | 18:00 |

| ron34563654 | i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 18:01 |
| guest | hi, i just set up UBUNTU with WUBI on my dell notebook (inspiron 5100) and it starts GREAT but it won't see the wireless WIFI networks (it does recognize the wlan0), any suggestions greatly appreciated | 18:01 |
| misterandrouserl | ifconfig wlan0 up | 18:01 |
| pfifo | dury, ffmpeg is great, the only downside is you have to build it yourself to get all the useful codecs. If your wanting to encode audio only (mp3 to wav) then ffmpeg isnt the tool you want | 18:01 |
| misterandrouserl | dmesg, lspci link to pastbin | 18:01 |
| StevenR | guest: sounds like your dell needs the binary drivers | 18:02 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, I fixed it ... I did apt-get remove unity unity -2d | 18:02 |
| guest | i'll give a try. thank you MR. | 18:02 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, thanks for the help I hope they might help ya if some one else runs into problems | 18:02 |
| stefan_ | ok, how do I copy a file from a server to my machine, or edit it directly on the server? i want to use gedit, not nano or vi, but gedit isn't installed on the server and cannot be. | 18:03 |
| carandraug | ron34563654, you don't. They're called modules and are already part of the kernel | 18:03 |
| Arikoth | Trigger911: Glad you got it work, enjoy ubuntu! | 18:03 |
| dli | stefan_, if you have ssh on the server, you may try sshfs | 18:03 |
| pfifo | stefan_, i use NFS for that | 18:03 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, yea just a pain to get some of the things i norm use with arch to work as they are blacklisted lmao | 18:03 |
| ron34563654 | carandraug, so why i can't connect to the internet? | 18:04 |
| dli | stefan_, also, nautilus allows you to connect to ssh server | 18:04 |
| stefan_ | dli: i'll try sshfs | 18:04 |
| carandraug | stefan_, mount the server on your filesystem | 18:04 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, I am building a huge script that will do everything I have to do when i perm install so all my mistakes are not hanging around lmao | 18:04 |
| dury | pfifo: in other ubuntu releases I can do by terminal ffmpeg -i bolero-mix-25.mp4 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k output.mp3 | 18:04 |
| carandraug | ron34563654, maybe it's not supported? There isn't modules for all the cards since manufacturers don't supply them | 18:05 |

| dury | pfifo: I want to do the same in 11.04 | 18:06 |
| Reighnakj | I am having an error with gnome-power-manager. | 18:06 |
| Reighnakj | I used http://www.absolutelytech.com/2010/04/13/solved-unable-to-boot-due-to-gnome-power-manager-error/ , but it is still not working. | 18:06 |
| pfifo | dury, whats stopping you? | 18:06 |
| bt | Yeah my new laptop had the acer-wmi mod conflicting with ath9k modules | 18:06 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, what driver? ath9k i found a fix ... its deals with the encryption max throughput i got was 10kb now i get 30MB lmao | 18:06 |
| ron34563654 | carandraug, isn't there anything else to do? | 18:07 |
| dury | pfifo: hang on I'm going to try it... one sec. | 18:07 |

| bt | Ron read through that section he linked it really does help | 18:08 |
| ron34563654 | carandraug, how can i know if my card supported? | 18:08 |
| lafon | is there any workaround to ubuntuone's problem? | 18:08 |
| StevenR | raven: could you be more precise about what you want to do? | 18:08 |
| knapper_tech | Bam FIXED | 18:09 |
| knapper_tech | little shotgun reinstall errors are for the birds | 18:09 |
| Arikoth | Trigger911: Broadcom 4313. There is a proprietary driver but it causes the kernal to freak out if the logs are any indicator. Trying to get ndiswrapper working now | 18:09 |
| carandraug | ron34563654, read the page I sent you. Most of the cards work out of the box. If they don't, that page tells you the best chances to make it work. But even better, I'd call the company that built it asking for modules. If they say that they don't support Linux, I'd just return it and get my money back. I should be free to run any OS I want | 18:10 |
| Abhijit | lafon, #ubuntuone | 18:10 |
| knapper_tech | I found the libstdc++ version I needed , foudn the package, and just did a little dpkg -i --force-depends-version to suppress version erros | 18:10 |
| ron34563654 | hi, why my nbook mic doestg working? | 18:10 |
| Abhijit | !sound | ron34563654 | 18:10 |
| ubottu | ron34563654: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 18:10 |
| knapper_tech | all my software works again and now I can use synaptics or aptitude to flush my gcc install and get back to earth | 18:10 |
| Trigger911 | Arikoth, yea if you dont do monitor or injection the ndis works best most of the time ... if not try to bleeding edge compet-wireless | 18:10 |
| knapper_tech | and i'm switching to sabayon ASAP | 18:10 |
| knapper_tech | =) | 18:10 |
| carandraug | Abhijit, his problem is with wifi, not suond card | 18:11 |
| lafon | Abhijit: ahh thanks | 18:11 |
| Arikoth | Trigger911: Yeah, just being odd the system sees the card no problem with generic drivers, just won't create a device for it grr | 18:11 |

| carandraug | Abhijit, oh! He must have 2 problems then. <ron34563654> i've a wireless card but i don't know where to get drivers from. any help? | 18:12 |
| felix_da_catz | pfifo: What do you do with your system? The last time I used it was for a security camera server and of course the software it self was having major compatibility issues, but that was not ubuntus fault. It just seemed like everyone was complaining about it at the time. | 18:13 |
| pfifo | sintaxevo, you need to setup NAT/Masquerading | 18:13 |
| carandraug | Abhijit, apologies then | 18:13 |
| Abhijit | hmm. ok. | 18:13 |

| felix_da_catz | pfifo: Thanks for your input! | 18:14 |

| sintaxevo | ok i did that | 18:19 |
| carandraug | sintaxevo, I don't do it that way. I enable it on /etc/sysctl.conf and the run sysctl -p | 18:19 |
| pfifo | dury, there plenty of guides on the forum and google, let me take a peek | 18:20 |
| sintaxevo | now just to get the net to tunnel from eth0 to wlan0 | 18:20 |
| oCean | stephenmac7: that header file is in libtiff4-dev package. You can also search for those files yourself, but you need to install the apt-file package. (then you can apt-file search blah.h) | 18:20 |
| dury | pfifo: really appreciate it | 18:20 |
| carandraug | sintaxevo, also, the /etc/resolv.conf should be the same in both systems | 18:20 |

| mongy | pfifo, doesnt using the medibuntu or extras repo install the restricted libav stuff for mp3 etc? still, I would go with compiling it | 18:22 |
| carandraug | sintaxevo, I've done it many times but the opposite from you. I'd get internet by wifi and had another system next to it that would be connected by cable to the PC that had the internet connection | 18:22 |
| mongy | well, it used to anyway | 18:22 |
| sintaxevo | yeah i normally tunnel wifi to eth0 then to my switch at home lol, this time its different | 18:23 |
| ron34563654 | carandraug, i've typed lspci -v | less but i dno't see my card there | 18:23 |

| stephenmac7 | Oh, okay... | 18:29 |
| Reighnakj | Can someone help me with errors encountered while processing programs? | 18:29 |
| oCean | stephenmac7: well, when compiling from source, the README or INSTALL should list required libraries/headers/packages. That's a good start. Having said that, you should search for usr/include/png.h | 18:29 |

| oCean | stephenmac7: we can hand you the tools, but cannot provide support on everything. You should contact the maintainers of the package, or the manufacturer for further support | 18:34 |
| pfifo | stephenmac7, i did this `apt-cache search libpng | grep dev` to find libpng12-dev you should be able to do the ame for most of those packages that have -dev's but I can tell right away, some of them dont, libm for example is only a dev tool so -dev is automatically implied | 18:34 |

| ubottu | Devil_Pummba: 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+) | 18:40 |

| zykotick9 | shockrates, "Page not found" for that http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net | 18:41 |
| zykotick9 | shockrates, you don't have to forward outgoing ports, so no you don't have to. | 18:42 |
| shockrates | zykotick9: i cant open neither of those 2 | 18:42 |
| stephenmac7 | pfifo, Okay, I did that and need all the libcnb* stuff, is that all in one package? | 18:42 |

| Devil_Pummba | i go see the tutos about lamp and ssh | 18:43 |
| shockrates | zykotick9: i cant open those pages | 18:43 |
| pfifo | stephenmac7, now run the apt-cache command with libcnb | 18:43 |

| pedro3005 | pfifo, what command do I use for fast grayscale? | 19:16 |
| vlt | s7r: Set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to "1" | 19:16 |
| Aple | dli: Alright, lemme look into that before I get into Samba too much. ;) | 19:16 |
| pfifo | pedro3005, sorry, I dont really kno how to change quality. | 19:16 |
| vlt | s7r: It's not iptables | 19:17 |

| cjohnston | Could someone please try to help me get my wifi working with my broadcom bcm4312 card? I have tried the broadcom link in the factoid to no avail. | 19:17 |
| vlt | ikonia: Without iptables rules the default is ACCEPT. | 19:18 |
| pedro3005 | pfifo, hm, foomatic-db was uninstalled, I'll try installing it | 19:18 |
| dli | cjohnston, tried broadcom-sta? | 19:18 |
| ikonia | vlt: but it won't do any forwarding without an iptables rule | 19:18 |
| pedro3005 | still no go | 19:19 |
| vlt | ikonia: Really? Didn't know that. | 19:19 |
| cjohnston | dli: thats what you get when installing drivers from available drivers correct? | 19:19 |
| s7r | vlt thanks for that. how about for ipv6 ? the same just i replace ipv4 with ipv6? | 19:19 |
| pedro3005 | off to google | 19:19 |
| === derp is now known as derp|gone | ||
| ikonia | vlt: yeah, the /proc just enables the kernel component, an application such as iptables will have to do the routing to deal with the packets | 19:20 |
| Aple | dli: If my ext. hd is located at \\Aple-pc\l then would I just type that into Nautilus and it'd load? :o | 19:20 |
| dli | cjohnston, not sure. :( it's proprietary from broadcom, not from open source | 19:20 |
| === cydd- is now known as Cydd | ||
| === Cydd is now known as cydd | ||
| dli | Aple, what do you mean with 'ext. hd'? | 19:20 |
| cjohnston | dli: there is a "Broadcom STA wireless driver" in Additional drivers.. which is proprietary... there is a broadcom-sta-common and broadcom-sta-source when doing aptitude search | 19:21 |
| lduros | hello, I want to run ubuntu from a usb stick, with persistent data (install the packages I want, have my custom config files). I tried to use the startup disc creator but when I reboot i get the regular install screen, and I can only boot as a livecd in a way, and i can't install stuff with it :-\ doesn't look like an install of linux. Is there anything I missed to make a running linux on the usb flash drive? Thanks | 19:21 |
| dli | cjohnston, try with broadcom-sta-source | 19:21 |
| Reighnakj | What does the Installation size in the Wubi install mean? | 19:22 |
| carandraug | lduros, you have to create a startup disc (can be on a CD). Then start from that startup CD (or USB) and have the USB where you want to install plugged in. make a normal install but choose to install on the USB rather than the HD | 19:22 |
| cjohnston | dli: trying | 19:22 |
| pfifo | lduros, I use grub2 bootloader to boot an iso file and have a casper persistent partition. I highly recommend learning this setup It works like a charm. | 19:22 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, it's the maximum size that your installation will ever have | 19:22 |
| Reighnakj | what does that mean? | 19:23 |
| dli | cjohnston, since it's source, you may have to build the driver yourself after installing the -source package | 19:23 |
| Reighnakj | The max amount of stuff I can download on ubuntu? | 19:23 |
| lduros | carandraug: Ok, I get it. pfifo: so should I just install it on the USB like carandraug said ? I might try this first. thanks | 19:23 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, when you install with WUBI, everything will be in one giant file inside your windows install. The file is created once | 19:23 |
| Reighnakj | So, the installation size is the amount of storage ubuntu can have? | 19:23 |
| pfifo | lduros, thats not what I was talking about. | 19:23 |
| lduros | pfifo: ok | 19:24 |
| carandraug | lduros, it's not very complicated. When asking if you want to install alone on the HD, you can choose manul configuration/partition. If you've done it before, it's peace of cake | 19:24 |
| flowbee | anyone using redis here? | 19:24 |
| Aple | dli: ext. hd = "External hard drive". Anyway, I found the book. :) | 19:24 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, when you install with Wubi yes. | 19:24 |
| Aple | What's the difference between normal folders and folders with $ on them? | 19:25 |
| Reighnakj | carandraug: so that is probably why I ran out of disk space after installing a 10gb file? | 19:25 |
| pfifo | lduros, installing ubuntu requires 2gb usb stick or better, my method requires 700mb | 19:25 |
| Reighnakj | I left it too low? | 19:25 |
| SpiderFred | hi I have two computers(A and B) with ubuntu and A has two network interfaces and is connected to router and B is connected just to A. What should I do to be able to use internet on computer B? | 19:25 |
| ron34563654 | carandraug, i've win driver on a cd | 19:25 |
| lduros | pfifo: ok | 19:25 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, probably. The way i see it, wubi is good for trying linux. You don't mess with the bootloader, you don't have to partition the HD. But that's it. If you like it, you should install it properly | 19:26 |
| Reighnakj | I tried to boot from CD, but it wouldn't work :-( | 19:26 |
| carandraug | ron34563654, I've better things to do. To me it looks like you're trolling | 19:27 |
| Lomba | hello, | 19:27 |
| cjohnston | dli: how would I install bcmwl-kernel-source as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/b43-fwcutter/+bug/711397/comments/6 ? | 19:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 711397 in b43-fwcutter (Ubuntu) "package firmware-b43legacy-installer 4.178.10.4-5 failed to install/upgrade due to unsupported hardware" [Medium,Triaged] | 19:27 |
| pfifo | SpiderFred, the easy way is to plug computer B into the router :) | 19:27 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, what happened when you tried to boot from a CD? | 19:27 |
| Aple | How can I create a shortcut to that external hard drive? | 19:27 |
| Reighnakj | carandraug: It just sat at the ubuntu loading screen too long. | 19:28 |
| Neffirithion | Does anyone here have experience with preseeding installs? | 19:28 |
| dli | cjohnston, as usual, sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 19:28 |
| carandraug | Aple, ln -s | 19:28 |
| Aple | I found the external hd, have access to it, but when I ctrl+shift+drag-to-desktop, it says it can't create that symbolic link. Is this because it's on a network or something? | 19:28 |
| SpiderFred | pfifo, :) yeah but its not possible atm | 19:28 |
| cjohnston | dli: I'm on natty though, and they a referencing a maverick package | 19:28 |
| carandraug | Aple, oh! If it's o the network I don't know. Sorry | 19:28 |
| Aple | carandraug: ln -s? Sorry.. I'm a complete newb. | 19:29 |
| pfifo | Aple, you have to harlink, you cant softlink across devices | 19:29 |
| Aple | Oh ok | 19:29 |
| alexleon | i cant install openoffice :( | 19:29 |
| Aple | How do I hardlink? | 19:29 |
| mahir256 | alexleon: elaborate | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | pfifo: It's the other way around, you can't have cross filesystem hardlinks. | 19:29 |
| alexleon | i download the folder but it has not .deb files | 19:29 |
| carandraug | Aple, I don't think you want a hard link. You want a symbolic link | 19:29 |
| pfifo | Aple, nevermind I got them mixed up | 19:30 |
| Aple | carandraug: To make a shortcut to a shared folder on my network? | 19:30 |
| BlaDe^ | Hi guys, sometimes, i'll open a menu and it'll stay there - indefinitely.... Once people gave me a command to restart whatever was at fault to fix it | 19:30 |
| BlaDe^ | can anyone think what it could've been? | 19:30 |
| alexleon | how cani show pictures here? | 19:31 |
| Aple | carandraug: How would I create a symlink to an external hard drive that's sitting on my network? | 19:31 |
| stercor | ? | 19:31 |
| pfifo | alexleon, use an imagebin | 19:31 |
| carandraug | Reighnakj, it's weird, specially if it works with Wubi. Maybe there's a problem with the CD. There's some options to boot but I never had to worry about them | 19:31 |
| alexleon | ok | 19:31 |
| BlaDe^ | if I goto appearances -> visual effects and change that, it fixes it too | 19:31 |
| BlaDe^ | because it reboots the thing too | 19:31 |
| stercor | I'm installing 10.04LTS (downloaded from ubuntu.com via BitTorrent) from a USB stick. After selecting the USB stick as the boot drive, this message immediately appears: "Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot", then "vesamenu.c32: not a COM32R image" | 19:32 |
| carandraug | Aple, I don't know. But hard link for something on the network... I don't know how that would work. symlinks, I think you'd have to mount it (maybe sshfs) and then symlink it to your desktop | 19:32 |
| alexleon | here | 19:33 |
| alexleon | http://imagebin.org/162456 | 19:33 |
| alexleon | thats what the folder has :P how i install that | 19:33 |
| alazare | im having a very hard time setting up a xorg.conf file its pretty straight forward i just need a file for the mouse keyboard all generic ubuntu ones, i have a onboard monitor thats 1280x800 24 depth and another monitor thats an external one thats 1280x720 @ 24 depth aswell both 60hz could someone write it up real quick for me ps its a intel 895gm driver | 19:33 |
| mahir256 | alexleon: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2010/09/how-to-install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu.html | 19:33 |
| carandraug | Aple, a symlink it's created with the command ln -s (ln is the command (think link) and -s options specifies it's a soft link or symlink) | 19:33 |
| Aple | So I'd have to mount my external hard drive even though it's on the network which is hosted by a different computer, then symlink to desktop? | 19:33 |
| Aple | k, I'll look it up. Thanks carandraug. ;) | 19:33 |
| Onatax | the same 1500 ubuntu'ers stuck with this OS | 19:33 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Hi | 19:33 |
| carandraug | Aple, yes. When you access a file, it's always mounted somewhere on the fs | 19:34 |
| alexleon | mahir -.- i dont think libreoffice is the same as openoffice | 19:34 |
| carandraug | Aple, fs = filesystem | 19:34 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Hi | 19:34 |
| Neffirithion | I need to preseed a deb file into an install cd, I have the preseed working perfectly (partitions and stuff) and just need it to install this package that I made. I am thinking the late_command is what I need to do, but I can't get it working, does anyone have any experience with this? | 19:34 |
| pfifo | stercor, it seems something went wrong wile setting ub the USB stick to be bootable | 19:34 |
| mahir256 | alexleon: they're the same, except openoffice.org is run by apache and libreoffice is completely free software | 19:34 |
| carandraug | Aple, basically you need to know where it is now. The run ls -s /path/to/thefile/now /path/to/thedesktop | 19:34 |
| alexleon | mmm well i will install libreoffice | 19:35 |
| stercor | pfifo: That's a good guess. I'll make it again. | 19:35 |
| koshieFinalReliz | I want to remove definitely all files on an USB key, it is the good command ? wipe -r -i -Q 1024 /media/B373-2959/ (where B373-2959) is my USB key | 19:35 |
| codingenesis | :) | 19:35 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, never heard of the command wipe | 19:36 |
| Aple | carandraug: Ok, I'll try. But I think that Ctrl+Shift+Drag-to-desktop is supposed to do that, and since it's on a network it throws an error. I might be wrong. I'll try it the command line way though. | 19:36 |
| alazare | im having a very hard time setting up a xorg.conf file its pretty straight forward i just need a file for the mouse keyboard all generic ubuntu ones, i have a onboard monitor thats 1280x800 24 depth and another monitor thats an external one thats 1280x720 @ 24 depth aswell both 60hz could someone write it up real quick for me ps its a intel 895gm driver | 19:36 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, just rm everything (and be carefule with the command). Or do you require super safe, impossible to recover removal of the files | 19:36 |
| carandraug | ? | 19:36 |
| carandraug | Aple, it might be mounted in a funny way. You'll need to mount it in a more 'normal' way I'd guess | 19:37 |
| stille | Hello! I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and having trouble with choqok. If I close it and then start it again, my timelines won't upgrade anymore unless I delete and readd my Twitter accounts. Can anyone suggest me a way of fixing this? | 19:37 |
| pfifo | alazare, try using `Xorg -configure` | 19:37 |
| carandraug | Aple, alternativel, you can bookmark it with nautilus and then it would at least show up on your places menu and bookmarks tab of nautilus | 19:37 |
| Aple | carandraug: "The target doesn't support symbolic links" | 19:38 |
| Aple | carandraug: Yeah! How do I bookmark it? | 19:38 |
| Aple | :) | 19:38 |
| * Aple takes the easy route | 19:38 | |
| alazare | pfifo, i did im also on debian not ubuntu but ubuntus always more helpfull anyways xorg -configure errors out i have to do it in console /recovery mode as i cant do it while x is running it says conflict with number of monitors and the xorg.conf.new file it makes is all kinds of foobard | 19:38 |
| carandraug | Aple, just go to the place yu want to bookmark, and there's an option on the nautilus menu | 19:39 |
| carandraug | Aple, it's not for a file, but it's for a directory where the file is | 19:40 |
| Shiggs|MB | ok so I have a question: is Mythbuntu , which is based on Ubuntu, as it currently is able to run on the new AMD FM1 APU A8 chips that just came out? | 19:40 |

| pfifo | alazare, sorry, I dont have that hardware so my xorg.conf doesnt have any relevant sections | 19:41 |

| daviddoria | I have recently switched from Fedora to Ubunutu. In the past when I build software, I have always done 'configure --prefix=/home/doriad/bin' followed by 'make' and 'make install'. At that point, other software looking for the software I had just built will usually find it automatically. (I have /home/doriad/bin and /home/doriad/bin/bin on PATH, and /home/doriad/bin/lib on LD_LIBRARY_PATH and /home/doriad/bin/include on CPLUS_INCLUDE | 19:41 |
| daviddoria | _PATH and C_INCLUDE_PATH). Is there anything else I need to do on Ubuntu? nothing seems to be found automatically on this system | 19:41 |
| Shiggs|MB | GPU and CPU in one | 19:41 |
| alazare | dang... | 19:41 |
| Shiggs|MB | I'd be recording stuff in at least 720p, so I'd hope it supports Radeon HDs' acceleration | 19:41 |
| carandraug | BlaDe^, I did. But you should paste the question all in one line. It's hard to understand it otherwise since there's other people talk in the middle | 19:41 |

| Shiggs|MB | fine... will Ubuntu run on AMD's new APU chipset? | 19:51 |
| Shiggs|MB | there | 19:51 |
| Shiggs|MB | lazyasses >_> | 19:51 |
| carandraug | Shiggs|MB, ok so I have a question: is Mythbuntu, which of course is based on Ubuntu, as it currently is able to run on the new AMD FM1 APU A8 chips that just came out? I know Linux doesn't have good AMD Radeon HD support for the 6000 series, but I was just wondering because with its release I was intruiged that it's an integrated / not shared video solution GPU and CPU in one I'd be recording stuff in at least 720p, so I'd hope it supp | 19:51 |
| carandraug | orts Radeon HDs' acceleration | 19:51 |
| Shiggs|MB | .... | 19:51 |
| pfifo | koshieFinalReliz, usb sticks/SD cards/SSD drived are flash | 19:51 |
| Shiggs|MB | I don't see why you'er all complicating things | 19:51 |
| carandraug | Shiggs|MB, do you see the difference? It's all in one line | 19:51 |
| guntbert | and Shiggs|MB please mind your attitude toward helpers - they are volunteers and nobody owes you anything | 19:51 |
| bsmith0931 | how do i upload a theme of save it in some way, because im reinstalling lucid | 19:52 |
| Shiggs|MB | ok screw this... I have work and I'm late sas it is | 19:52 |
| Shiggs|MB | as it is* | 19:52 |
| carandraug | Shiggs|MB, because if you pastebin something, people will asuume you're talking with someone and sending them some output of a command. If you make your question in many lines (like you did the first time), otherspeople conversatins will be in the middle and make it hard to understand | 19:52 |

| koshieFinalReliz | thanks pfifo carandraug | 19:54 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, here's what I'd so (be very careful with the command) "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/usb-dev-path bs=1M" | 19:55 |
| Sub_Zero | I have 'mysql-server-core-5.1' and also the mysql client package installed. I didn't install it myself and I don't host anything. Is it okay if I remove these packages? or does something need them? | 19:55 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, make sure you have the right path for the USB device | 19:55 |
| koshieFinalReliz | carandraug, on a flash memory it's okay ? | 19:55 |
| koshieFinalReliz | But not on a hard drive | 19:55 |
| Northernen | I am having problems with my WiFi, getting drivers to be installed to be precise.

Its content is here: http://pastebin.com/HFfy5j9b | 19:56 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, hmm... I do it when throwing HD from the lab away. Never done it on USB sticks but I'd guess it would be the same | 19:56 |
| pfifo | koshieFinalReliz, on a harddrive, you might want to run it 2 or more times | 19:56 |
| Wantstolearn | Hi.How to Prioritise TCP ACK Packets in Ubuntu 11.04 | 19:56 |
| koshieFinalReliz | pfifo, a software who pass 30 or 40 times is better, no ? | 19:56 |
| guntbert | Sub_Zero: try sudo apt-get remove ....., it will tell you if something depends on that package | 19:56 |
| koshieFinalReliz | (or more) | 19:56 |
| pfifo | koshieFinalReliz, no reason you can dd 30 or 40 times, it would probably be quicker too | 19:57 |
| koshieFinalReliz | pfifo, it's not automatic :) | 19:57 |
| koshieFinalReliz | But I understand | 19:57 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, you can use /dev/random instead of /dev/zero to be extra safe. But isn't that paranoya already? | 19:57 |
| pfifo | koshieFinalReliz, but like i said, for flash memory 1 pass is all you need | 19:57 |
| koshieFinalReliz | carandraug, not really, it's for a personnal project, I need a lot of security | 19:57 |
| Antanas | Hi all | 19:58 |
| koshieFinalReliz | (a personnal and legal project :P) | 19:58 |
| Wantstolearn | So any ideas where i need to start | 19:58 |
| Sub_Zero | guntbert Nothing depends on it it says. Thanks | 19:58 |
| pfifo | Wantstolearn, your looking for the `tc` program | 19:58 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, ok. Well, I'd still use one pass of /dev/random only. IOt's up to you to run that command as many times you want though | 19:58 |
| Wantstolearn | ? | 19:58 |
| Wantstolearn | please clarify | 19:59 |
| Antanas | What version of Ubuntu you are using wantstolearn?Im using Ubuntu 10.10 | 19:59 |
| pfifo | Wantstolearn, youll need to read the maual, its too much to spoon feed you, `man tc` | 19:59 |
| Wantstolearn | ok.Thanks you | 19:59 |
| ikonia | Wantstolearn: have you researched "QOS" on linux | 19:59 |
| Wantstolearn | yes | 19:59 |
| Antanas | Im using linux 3 years. | 20:00 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, so if your USB is on /dev/sdc, run the command "sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdc bs=1M" | 20:00 |
| Antanas | Is there any lithuanians? | 20:00 |

| crackerjackz | edbian, yah but what would be the correct parameter to use with the mount command? | 20:01 |

| pfifo | crackerjackz, you can also look at the file /etc/mtab | 20:02 |

| koshieFinalReliz | carandraug, I've puts the command but it speak about «is a folder» | 20:02 |
| koshieFinalReliz | it's* | 20:02 |
| carandraug | koshieFinalReliz, a file. /dev/random and /dev/urandom are special files | 20:02 |
| pfifo | carandraug, /dev/random is the same as /dev/urandom unless you have a hardware RNG | 20:03 |

| carandraug | pfifo, I'm just reading it's man page. From what I understood, /dev/urandom will continue give random numbers even there's no noise to create them. /dev/random thus blocks and waits for noise to generate them. | 20:04 |

| Antanas | Hi | 20:07 |
| Wantstolearn | to keep it allive | 20:07 |
| crackerjackz | edbian, yah but what would be the correct parameter to use with the mount command it says mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. the volulme may already be mounted, or another software may use it | 20:07 |
| Aleksander | I want to use QQ protocol to talk with some Chinese - what's the best way to use it? Pidgin plugin does not work, not does international client under Wine | 20:07 |
| Antanas | Who hates windows? | 20:08 |

| Wantstolearn | So any sugestions Antanas | 20:08 |
| edbian | crackerjackz: What are you trying to do with mount? | 20:08 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:28 |
| sarthor_ | guntbert: No. i did ls /var/spool/squid3/, no file or directory is there, squid can not create that directory i think. may be some permission problem. | 20:28 |

| sarthor | guntbert: should i create that /var/spool/squid3 dir manually or squid3 -z will create it? | 20:35 |
| Phr3d13 | because they are on a different ide controller | 20:35 |
| edbian | molossus: Red Hat Enterprise Linux is oriented towards businesses. Ubuntu is oriented at consumers. (To be honest I was kidding :) ) | 20:36 |

| crackerjackz | ahhh adobe flash plugin for firefox | 20:36 |
| Tigerboy | guntbert: DO you think the FTP connection might be reporting the internal lan IP to the web server? | 20:36 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: a 160GB disk and an 80GB disk, are either of them attatched to the pci card ? | 20:37 |
| Phr3d13 | nope | 20:37 |
| molossus | ikonia, currently i am running rhel 6.1 on my laptop and it runs fine , but i wanted to know if ubuntu 10.04 LTS would run better | 20:37 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: ok, so it's more realistic that the card is not supported | 20:37 |
| guntbert | Tigerboy: next idea: have a look at the server logs to see what happens (I cannot guess about your last question) | 20:37 |
| ikonia | molossus: try it as better is subjective to the person running it | 20:37 |
| coz_ | molossus, that's a tough one to answer,, you would have to test it on that hardware | 20:37 |
| Phr3d13 | but the card shows up in the disk utility | 20:37 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that doesn't mean it's supported | 20:38 |
| Phr3d13 | oh | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that just means there is a dumb device | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: are you using the card as JBOD or raid ? | 20:38 |
| Phr3d13 | i'm guessing jbod, cause its not raid | 20:38 |

| coz_ | Tigerboy, if you want to test gnome3 download a fedora 15 live dvd | 20:42 |

| Wantstolearn | if bios is corrupted patch the bios | 20:43 |
| Wantstolearn | does it reach POST | 20:43 |
| anadon | Its not the BIOS. If it were that easy, I'd have this fixed in under 30 seconds. I switched my disk format to GUID and so windows made a efi partition which i think is acting as the BIOS. | 20:43 |

| Oraiz | Yup | 20:50 |
| coz_ | Oraiz, when that opens click the "Install" button and locate the cursor tar.gz package | 20:50 |
| sarthor | guntbert: is not saying anything about creating directory, just it says creating swap directory | 20:50 |

| coz_ | Oraiz, ir you are using compiz along with this , the cursor may not show up on all applications,, but th ere is a simple command fix for that | 20:52 |

| guntbert | sarthor: sorry, its been too long since I last configured squid, so I don't know where squid3 creates them by default, but the squid docs on http://www.squid-cache.org/ are fairly good | 20:53 |
| coz_ | Oraiz, so when you choose your theme remember that name of it,, and let me kn ow | 20:53 |
| Oraiz | "Macbuntu-Cursors" | 20:54 |
| Oraiz | Without the quotes, of course. | 20:54 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| coz_ | Oraiz, ok open a terminal and paste this command in it,... sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme look for that theme name in the list and use the number it's attached to | 20:55 |

| bogdaniel | but EFI is for new generation of motherboards | 21:02 |

| bogdaniel | us, those who got motherboards with bios installed don't have the option for EFI you need a new motherboard :D | 21:02 |

| anadon | mgolisch: in the scenario where there's a blank disk with GUID, windows has to make its own EFI to work. that's why. This is not a discussion of how it could happen--it happened. I need to find a way out of it. | 21:13 |

| sheenobu | having some weird gnome issue: gnome-open ~ runs mplayer | 23:20 |
| sheenobu | I've tried to clear/delete all my gnome settings | 23:20 |
| pfifo | bobweaver, I believe there is an auto connect option in network-manager, make sure your not telling it to auto connect | 23:20 |
| sheenobu | every single file gnome-open tries to open gets run withmplayer | 23:21 |
| pfifo | redmenace, you have to paste your info on that website, and after submitting it, give me the URL so I can view it | 23:21 |
| sheenobu | same with gvfs-open | 23:21 |
| bobweaver | pfifo, thanks my girl babysits these kids and I have found all sorts of stuff on this computer | 23:21 |
| bobweaver | after them | 23:22 |

| bobweaver | pfifo I think that you misunderstood you know how in backtrack you have to connect nm that is what I would like to do that way I have to start my networking | 23:25 |

| antisistema | genioso, nop de Argentina | 23:25 |
| antisistema | genioso, haha un gusto! | 23:26 |

| pfifo | bobweaver, so you want network-manage to not start at all during boot up? | 23:27 |
| bobweaver | pfifo, Yes | 23:28 |
| bobweaver | that why no one can use this computer for the net and I dont have to mem a bunch of new passwords | 23:28 |
| bobweaver | pfifo, that why no one can use this computer for the net and I dont have to mem a bunch of new passwords * | 23:29 |

| intlkleinblue | Hello everyone, I have a problem on my Ubuntu 10.04 i386 laptop. I've been using it for a long time, several months, with no issues. But recently, I have had two huge pains come up: my user won't lock the screen when I close the lid/sleep, so anyone can open it up and instead of prompting for a password, it just shoots you straight to my screen! Secondly, whenever my user boots up (as in login, startup, etc) The default pdf reader opens up | 23:32 |
| pfifo | bobweaver, it will either be in /etc/init or /etc/init.d | 23:32 |
| * bobweaver goes off to test | 23:32 | |
| pfifo | intlkleinblue, the PDF thing can be fixed by logging out and choosing to save settings | 23:34 |
| pfifo | intlkleinblue, the other problem should have options in the power managment dialog | 23:35 |
| intlkleinblue | hmm, what do you mean pfifo on the logging out and choosing save settings? Not sure I follow... | 23:38 |
| intlkleinblue | pfifo: and on the power mgmt dialog, I don't see what you mean there either | 23:38 |
| MikeTG | hello here | 23:39 |
| pfifo | intlkleinblue, when you log out, there is an option to save settings, if selected, then all of the windows you have open, will reopen when you log back in. | 23:39 |
| MikeTG | dont have any problem. just wanna know the must have apps for ubuntu ;-) | 23:40 |
| pfifo | intlkleinblue, I have to goto screensaver settings, and then from that dialog, there is a power managment button. From there it asks me what todo when the laptop lid is closed | 23:40 |
| pfifo | MikeTG, you only need the required packages in the base repo. | 23:46 |
| pfifo | MikeTG, i cant find a list | 23:46 |
| MikeTG | pfifo: ok | 23:47 |

| DasEi | HackerII: did you just add kde or a second os ? | 23:51 |
| HackerII | hello today, on kernel.ubuntu, i downloaded 2.6.38, i'm on 10.10 and it wont see it, keeps saying needs kernel patch 2.4, no fix ?? | 23:51 |
| HackerII | no, it was the last os i put on tho | 23:51 |
| DasEi | HackerII: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get --fix-missing && sudo update-grub | 23:52 |
| HackerII | i think kde has the say in who gets the kernel, id like to change that | 23:52 |
| HackerII | ah, very nice, thats what i was looking for, your my best friend now | 23:53 |
| DasEi | HackerII: kde is just the surface, won't affect choice of kernel | 23:53 |
| HackerII | had me worried there fora min | 23:53 |
| HackerII | thanks DasEi | 23:53 |
| DasEi | HackerII: see if that solves, else ask again | 23:54 |
| HackerII | ok, lemme get it done, and ill come back, again, thanks DasEi | 23:54 |
| froq | I am going to build a new machine to run KVM on, so then I can virtualized lots of crap... I am going to with a core i5 processor, what is the best socket choice for that? | 23:54 |
| * HackerII reboots | 23:54 | |
| pfifo | froq, it dosent matter | 23:55 |
| froq | pfifo, I thought like that 1155 socket was bad or something else... | 23:55 |
| pfifo | CPU socket has nothing todo with the features that a processor has | 23:57 |
| kisuke | is there any reason a maverick package cant be installed on natty? | 23:57 |
| froq | pfifo, ooo.... I that the 1155 was like bad tech or old tech or something... thanks for the update :) | 23:58 |

| intlkleinblue | /me bows to pfifo . SIR YOU ARE A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR. These issues have been bothering me for months and you've finally solved it. Plus, I got on top of my Default Keyring issue as well in the process!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. | 23:59 |
| intlkleinblue | HOW CAN I EVER REPAY YOU | 23:59 |
| irc-xd | i have a weird problem. i setup imap (gmail)and it worked fine anywhere. initially i used comcast's smtp server though. it worked at home. then when i traveled it stopped working. the stmp part anyway. i couldn't send mails either through my cellular phone (same setup as laptop imap to get and smtp server to send) or panera wifi hotspot. then i came back home and smtp worked again! now i set it up to use gmail's smtp servers as i thought | 23:59 |
| irc-xd | comcast was the problem. guess what! it worked at home but when i travel it stops working again. any ideas why? i should be able to access gmail's smtp server anywhere i would think. | 23:59 |
