| tiox | I am having problems with my hard line to the web. I tried deleting the old wired connections I had, then trying again, failed. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| tiox | Maybe... should I delete my wired connection and then plug my modem in? :/ | 00:00 |
| tiox | That sounds like it might work. BRB | 00:01 |
| captwho | anyone know what serves as an xorg.conf file in Ubuntu 10.04? | 00:01 |
| ubuntu___ | tiox: yes delete the connection and plug in the modem | 00:02 |
| Darael | captwho: If you create one, it should work, but most of it is dynamically generated rather than read from a config file. | 00:02 |
| ugly_duck | ok, where is the xorg.conf located now days 11.04 | 00:02 |
| ubuntu___ | ugly_duck: just search for it on the command line | 00:03 |
| ugly_duck | ubuntu___: what a fantastic idea, why didn't i think of that already | 00:03 |
| xangua | ugly_duck: there s no a xorg.files , you an create one if yu want | 00:03 |
| Darael | ugly_duck: /etc/X11/xorg.conf - but it won't exist unless it's already been created by something overriding the auto-generated config. | 00:03 |
| captwho | Darael: I'm trying to up the resolution on my desktop and the instructions that i found were to modify the xorg.conf file | 00:03 |
| exutux | xorg.conf doesn't exist more from Ubuntu 8.10 | 00:03 |
| ugly_duck | Darael: ahh... okies, thats why its not there | 00:04 |
| Darael | captwho: Like I say, it doesn't exist until and unless something creates it for the purpose of overrides. | 00:04 |
| billy2007 | ive plugged in a wireless usb adaptor and it isnt even reconizing it | 00:04 |
| ubuntu___ | exutux: did you start with linux from ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| exutux | if you want or need one you must create it by hand, or bu X -configure | 00:04 |
| ugly_duck | i install ati drivers, its changed my settings, it turns out the drivers aren't for my card, so unity wont run any mroe | 00:05 |
| exutux | ubuntu___: nope with debian but I use Ubuntu from 7.04 | 00:05 |
| captwho | exutux: is "bu X -configure" the command? | 00:06 |
| captwho | never heard of that one | 00:06 |
| bora_ | hello all | 00:06 |
| ubuntu___ | exutux: have you used Suse? | 00:06 |
| bubbles| | hi | 00:06 |
| Darael | captwho: Nope. "sudo X -configure" | 00:06 |
| exutux | captwho: lol my bad.... was by* X -configure | 00:07 |
| bubbles| | how do i update from ubuntu 10.04 to 11.04? | 00:07 |
| captwho | lol, thanks | 00:07 |
| maalac | bubbles|: download the iso file and burn to dvd and then upgrade | 00:07 |
| exutux | yeah sudo before and need to stop X before run command....then copy xorg,conf.new in /etc/X11/ | 00:07 |
| maalac | bubbles|:although 11.04 is a bit buggy .. | 00:08 |
| bubbles| | how is it buggy? | 00:08 |
| exutux | sudo cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:08 |
| Darael | bubbles|: You'll have to go via 11.10. And to do that you need to change your sources settings (the update section of the Software Sources tool that you can get to from the Software Centre), so that you see "All releases" rather than just "LTS releases". | 00:08 |
| captwho | exutux: sweet, thanks | 00:09 |
| exutux | np | 00:09 |
| bubbles| | 11.10? has that been released? | 00:09 |
| Darael | bubbles|: My apologies. Typo. I meant 10.10. | 00:09 |
| bubbles| | oh, ok | 00:09 |
| maalac | bubbles|: i can't really tell i had some bad experience and end up going to 10.10 | 00:10 |
| Darael | bubbles|: I can neither confirm nor deny that I am running 11.10 alpha, however. | 00:10 |
| Uchiha_Itachi | what's actually buggy about 11.04 is unity | 00:10 |
| maalac | bubbles|: yes i agree and its kernel issues .. | 00:10 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu in 11.04 works quite well :) | 00:10 |
| bubbles| | so i should stay with 10.04? i'm actually only updating because i need mysql 5.5 | 00:11 |
| Drone4four | Uchiha_Itachi, yes, i agree that Unity on 11.04 is buggy...that's why i switched to xfce | 00:11 |
| kiichiro | quick question, a lot of my files became read only, I can change them back. But is there a way to select an entire folder and make it so all the files and subfolders+files are set to read and write in one command | 00:11 |
| bora_ | hey i hawe a question. in ubuntu 11.10 GUI is 100% Unity or as a 11.04 is a session gnome | 00:11 |
| xangua | !ubuntu+1 | bora_ | 00:11 |
| ubottu | bora_: Oneiric Ocelot is the codename for Ubuntu 11.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 00:11 |
| bora_ | sorry i'am polish and my english is bad | 00:11 |
| maalac | kiichiro: try this chmod -R 777 (name of the folder) | 00:11 |
| Darael | bubbles|: It's worth checking for a PPA with the package you need first. | 00:11 |
| xangua | bubbles|: or compile | 00:12 |
| Darael | bora_: Gnome3 is allegedly to be available. It doesn't, however, work for me right now. | 00:12 |
| exutux | maalac: isn't a good idea set 777 permission in that way | 00:12 |
| kiichiro | thank you so much | 00:12 |
| bubbles| | hm.. i'm not sure if compiling is a good choice | 00:12 |
| Uchiha_Itachi | chmod -R 666 /folder | 00:12 |
| bora_ | yes i know it a codename but i quest about a GUI | 00:12 |
| bubbles| | the ppa is this one: https://launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+archive/mysql but it's for 10.10 | 00:12 |
| bora_ | thanks | 00:12 |
| Uchiha_Itachi | 660 would be much better | 00:12 |
| exutux | depends | 00:13 |
| kiichiro | you seriously just got my server up 10x quicker thank you so much maalac | 00:13 |
| maalac | exutux: sorry my bad, i assume its just an ordinary folder.. | 00:13 |
| Darael | bora_: The bot-comment was to suggest that you should talk about Oneiric only in #ubuntu+1, rather than here in #ubuntu. That's all. | 00:13 |
| exutux | maalac: isn't a good idea too give permission to all-world :) | 00:13 |

| maalac | bubbles|: yes, you might have problems in the future .. | 00:18 |
| garfield | If anyone is familiar with xmess(its in the repositories) this is the error Im getting http://pastebin.com/xCrZbwDR | 00:18 |
| bubbles| | so what do i do? | 00:18 |
| Danniel | hi, there's a correct sequence for ubuntu partitions? | 00:19 |
| maalac | bubbles|: just make sure that you install all the dependencies requirements. | 00:19 |
| maalac | garfield: this is something to do with your Video card. have you try glxinfo | 00:20 |
| bubbles| | what dependencies? if i compile it myself there are no dependencies .. but things like phpmyadmin will probably still depend on the mysql-package in the repository | 00:20 |
| sudokill | Danniel, no | 00:20 |
| garfield | maalac: no I havent | 00:20 |
| chad___ | I'm looking at a laptop and wondering if I'll be able to run Ubuntu on it. | 00:20 |
| sudokill | chad___, it probably will | 00:21 |
| Danniel | sudokill: but, what is recommended? | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | garfield, i would say the default config file is using some obsolete option. | 00:21 |
| maalac | bubbles|: ok. try compiling it and see if you encounter any errors | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | garfield, been years since i last use xmess and xmame :) | 00:21 |
| sudokill | Danniel, if you dont care about a seperate home partition then just use one big / and a swap if you want it | 00:21 |
| garfield | glxinfo says I need to install mesa-utils | 00:21 |
| garfield | doing that now | 00:22 |
| Danniel | sudokill: maybe it's better a separate /home | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | garfield, whats your video chipset? | 00:22 |
| garfield | ati radeon | 00:22 |
| sudokill | Danniel, only for reinstalls | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | garfield, you did insatll the fglrx drivers? | 00:22 |
| sudokill | Danniel, but i never bother because theres so many root files too | 00:22 |
| garfield | should I just use the proprietary driver? | 00:22 |
| maalac | garfield: you need drivers for it to emulate | 00:22 |
| garfield | not manually | 00:22 |
| chad___ | sudokill: It has both integrated intel graphics and the dedicated Nvidia 540m | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | garfield, if they are supported.. use the addational-drivers tool (jockey-gtk) | 00:22 |

| Darael | A separate /home doesn't make reinstalls much easier any more. The installer autodetects an existing /home and preserves it, whether it's on a separate partition or part of /. | 00:23 |
| garfield | Dr_Willis: so install the proprietary driver witgh additional drivers app? | 00:24 |
| chad___ | sudokill: Alright, I was just worried because of the whole Optimus thing. | 00:24 |
| maalac | garfield: use firs that came with ubuntu if its supported and later on you can download the proprietary drivers and install it .. | 00:24 |
| sudokill | chad___, hmm not sure about how well the kernel is | 00:24 |
| sudokill | i think 2.6.39 will be ok | 00:25 |
| chad___ | sudokill: I don't believe it has Optimus enabled, but I suppose I'm just paranoid. | 00:25 |
| garfield | well I would prefer the open source driver, but if it doesnt allow the emulation, oh well | 00:25 |

| Talaskina | anyone have any info on what encyption types are recoverable? | 00:29 |
| sudokill | Talaskina, what do you mean | 00:30 |
| fishscene | By their very nature, encryption is supposed to be non-recoverable. :S | 00:32 |
| Talaskina | sudokill: there are some encryption schemes out there, methods or types, that have a master key that can be recovered even without the right passphrase, specifically I am trying to find out what standards those are, like is AES effected, or twofish, or whatever. i would prefer to avoid them if possible :) | 00:32 |
| sudokill | no idea | 00:32 |
| sudokill | all i know is AES is generally fine and reliable and fast | 00:33 |
| sudokill | i think youd be safe with plain aes | 00:33 |
| Talaskina | sudokill: yes, but i am trying to find out if aes does have the recoverable part | 00:33 |
| maalac | garfield: go to the ati radeon website and see if you find a driver.. | 00:33 |

| sudokill | DOJ? | 00:35 |
| Talaskina | sudokill: department of justice, america | 00:35 |
| sudokill | i used to fully encrypt my drives years ago | 00:35 |
| sudokill | but then i realised i dont need it lol | 00:36 |
| sudokill | Talaskina, i dont know the laws in US. in the UK by law you have to reveal password | 00:36 |
| sudokill | but if you havent got illegal stuff, just your bank details etc then dont see what you got to worry about with the government | 00:37 |
| Talaskina | sudokill: i saw that, you could just forget it or, idk house the actual info out of country | 00:37 |

| mbrochh | hey folks. i am running ubuntu in a virtualbox. i need to ssh into a customers machine. the customer wants my public ssh key and my static ip. obviously i don't have a static ip. are there any ticks I could do? Maybe with dyndns or so? | 01:11 |
| Chipzzz | mbrochh: if you're ssh'ing into his machine you don't need a static IP | 01:12 |

| uRock | mbrochh, how often does your ISP change your IP?I understand that the person on the other end is opening the firewall for you | 01:13 |
| carandraug | Chipzzz, unless the costumer wants to limit ssh connections from his IP. That's probably the case | 01:13 |
| mbrochh | uRock, i think it changes quite often. | 01:13 |
| mbrochh | Chipzzz, I THINK I will be connecting to an Amazon EC2 machine or so. I think those open ports for static IPs to improve security | 01:14 |

| uRock | I wouldn't think they'd change it more than once every 24 hours. Otherwise it would mean a lot of overhead for their routers to keep updating the routing tables | 01:15 |
| th0r | mbrochh: if your customer is using a whitelist for ssh access there is no way you can spoof a static IP. Either you will have to arrange a static IP with your isp, or the customer will have to settle for your public key and give up the whitelist | 01:16 |

| seanmc98 | hello. if i am making ubuntu 11.04 pendrive with a 4gb usb drive can i set a persistant file size for storing changes? if so what size do you suggest? | 01:18 |
| afeijo | ok! got unity back :) found it in ccsm, but I still do not have alt+tab nor I can move any window | 01:18 |
| gskellig-mobile | I'm trying rescatux now. | 01:19 |
| uRock | maybe try lilo | 01:19 |
| gskellig-mobile | Lilo? | 01:19 |
| Chipzzz | gskellig-mobile: you should be able to run grub-install from a live disk | 01:19 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, I'd say in that case you won't be using the rest of the pen for anything else so I'd take over the entire space | 01:20 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: so how big 1.5gig? or 2gig? | 01:20 |
| gskellig-mobile | chipzzz I got an error | 01:21 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, ALL of it. If you create it with the USB disk creator, there's a bar. Move the bar to the end | 01:21 |
| gskellig-mobile | something about block error | 01:21 |
| Chipzzz | gskellig-mobile: what was the error? | 01:22 |
| seanmc98 | thank you | 01:22 |
| tiox | afeijo: You really like Unity? | 01:22 |
| gskellig-mobile | can't remember, hold on | 01:22 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, but I find it even better to just install Ubuntu on the USB stick (instead of creating a live USB stick with a persistent file | 01:22 |
| seanmc98 | it said oops there is not enough space | 01:22 |
| gskellig-mobile | I don't have Ubuntu on my USB anymore, because I put rescatux on it | 01:22 |
| tic^ | gskellig-mobile: --> http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-Partitioning-EN-Repairing-a-damaged-Grub | 01:23 |
| Chipzzz | :( | 01:23 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: how do u go about doin that? i am following the guide according to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 01:23 |
| seanmc98 | i am on windows 7 | 01:23 |
| fedora_newb | anyone know where I could get the ubuntulooks to get a theme to appear correctly? | 01:23 |
| tlhunter | can someone tell me where the boot error logs are written on disk? | 01:23 |
| tiox | If I had the money for a 250 GB USB flash drive, the things I would do with it... | 01:23 |
| p1l0t | In the latest firefox browser for 11.04 how do you change the user agent? | 01:23 |
| edbian | tlhunter: /var/log/ | 01:23 |
| edbian | tlhunter: Somewhere in there | 01:23 |
| Chipzzz | lol @ tiox | 01:24 |
| edbian | p1l0t: You need to install an add-on for that I think. | 01:24 |
| p1l0t | no about:config aye? | 01:24 |
| tiox | I don't think that's necessary,. | 01:24 |
| tiox | There's a key in about:config for it. | 01:24 |
| tiox | Then again, go to #firefox. | 01:24 |
| p1l0t | I can't find it though. It is different from older versions | 01:24 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, oh! Ouch. Sorry, haven't deal with windows in many many years. No idea how to do it. I'd say, burn the iso on a CD. Boot from a CD and during the install steps, when it asks if you want Ubuntu to take the whole disk or to install side by side with windows, choose manual, and install on the USB stick | 01:24 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, that gives you a small Ubuntu install that you can take anywhere (but it's no good to install on other computers) | 01:25 |
| tlhunter | thanks edbian | 01:25 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Good evening. I just have really quick question. Easy to answer. UFW firewall. Do you have to enable it every time you log in? Or is it enabled for system startup every time - after you command it to be enabled the first time? | 01:25 |
| edbian | tlhunter: did you find what you were looking for? | 01:25 |
| tlhunter | my /var/log/boot is blank, I think I'm SOL trying to debug my issue | 01:25 |
| p1l0t | #firefox is idle :/ | 01:25 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: thats all i want untill i get me own computer | 01:25 |
| Chipzzz | tlhunter,edbian: /var/log/boot | 01:25 |
| p1l0t | wait maybe not | 01:25 |
| edbian | tlhunter: What are you trying to do? Bigger picture? | 01:25 |
| invisiblek | my iwl3945 constantly disconnects. anyone else seen this at all? | 01:25 |
| tiox | (Sorry p1l0t, priorities are priorities, we'll help here if everyone in #firefox is playing online idle, hehe) | 01:25 |
| invisiblek | never had this problem in gentoo, switched to ubuntu for simplicity on the laptop | 01:26 |
| egopine | whats the ubuntu off topic channel? | 01:26 |
| tlhunter | my VPS died, and I'm in 'repair mode' trying to figure out what happened | 01:26 |
| tw | How do I make ubuntu figure out which network I'm attached to and update configs accordingly? My network is set up via dhcp so if there was a way to execute a post-up script, that'd be ideal. I've tried dhclient-exit-hooks.d but as far as I can tell, those scripts don't get executed. | 01:26 |
| tiox | UHm, #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:26 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Can anyone answer a very simple question about the UFW firewall inherent to Ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, so you think you can do those? It's not too hard. I don't know what tool to burn a iso on windows. The ubuntu wiki talked about infrarecorder | 01:27 |
| dimm0k | anyone know how switch metamodes on a thinkpad notebook? | 01:27 |
| edbian | tlhunter: look at dmesg. It's a great all purpose log. | 01:27 |
| tlhunter | it's blank too :( | 01:27 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: i already am creating the usb drive | 01:27 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | If you enable the UFW firewall once - do you have enable it again every time you log in? | 01:27 |
| edbian | tlhunter: Look at the old ones. They have numbers | 01:27 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: So it currently fails to boot? | 01:28 |
| seanmc98 | lowered the space to 2.1gb to leave some room for the iso | 01:28 |
| tlhunter | I think the virtualization software is doing something weird | 01:28 |
| tlhunter | there aren't any dmesg.# files | 01:28 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Does anyone currently on here use the UFW firewall? I have a very simple question. | 01:29 |
| centHOGG | negative | 01:29 |
| Chipzzz | tw: check the man for interfaces... you can specify a post-up command there | 01:29 |
| edbian | tlhunter: There should be on Ubuntu. | 01:29 |
| dimm0k | anyone know how switch metamodes on a laptop? there's no keypad! | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: What symptoms are you seeing? I'm guessing since it's a VPS you are just seeing a lack of services (http / ssh)? | 01:29 |
| edbian | wsbl-uhpd651: The question is hard to answer yet easy for you to figure out. | 01:29 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: am i doing the right steps if i always want to bioot into ubuntu and use it anywhere with the pendrive? or is there a seperate way? | 01:29 |
| tlhunter | none of the services are up (e.g. trying to SSH and hit it with a browser) | 01:30 |
| edbian | wsbl-uhpd651: iptables (the backend to ufw) does not save changes by default but it is always on. | 01:30 |
| edbian | tlhunter: ping | 01:30 |
| tlhunter | parallels web interface tells me the only thing running is init | 01:30 |
| carandraug | dimm0k, there should be a key for that. Look for blue words NumLK on the keyboard. | 01:30 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | edbian: OK. So you are telling me the ufw firewall is on by default anyway? | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: Can you pastebin the contents of /boot/grub/grubenv ? | 01:30 |
| edbian | tlhunter: How are you looking at log files? Are you logged in locally? | 01:30 |
| edbian | wsbl-uhpd651: I don't know. | 01:30 |
| tlhunter | I told parallels to restart in 'repair mode', which reboots the old server contents under /repair/ | 01:31 |
| edbian | tlhunter: Not familiar with parallels but ok | 01:31 |
| dimm0k | carandraug: oh crap, got it! thanks! | 01:31 |
| tlhunter | so now I can SSH into it temporarily, but it's not running the regular OS | 01:31 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, I prefer my way. What you did takes (I think) more space and is slower but allows you to install Ubuntu in any computer. Mine doesn't (but boots faster). It's like a normal install but on a hard drive where the size is the same as the USB stick | 01:32 |
| carandraug | dimm0k, no problem | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: If your VPS is using grub2 (the default in Ubuntu) and /boot/grub/grubenv contains "recordfail=true" then you at least know that you are getting as far as grub, but not as far as running /etc/init.d/grub-common . | 01:32 |
| edbian | tlhunter: Sounds like logging is turned off. Still, the old log files should be in there. | 01:32 |
| seanmc98 | well all i want to be able to do is boot into ubuntu using the pendrive and anything i do on there save to pendrive | 01:33 |
| tw | Chipzzz: No dice. It looks like interfaces run by NetworkManager don't execute the /etc/network/if-<option>.d scripts. | 01:33 |
| tlhunter | both the /boot and /repair/boot directories are empty, I'm thinking parallels is doing something silly | 01:33 |
| ssquirrel | hello | 01:33 |
| edbian | tlhunter: If /boot is empty you're missing grub... | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: It's possible that, like many VPS providers, they are having the virtual machine load the kernel directly, without a separate bootloader. Which would mean no grub. | 01:34 |
| Chipzzz | tw: I think you're right about that... you could turn off nm, though | 01:35 |
| tlhunter | thanks Jordan_U | 01:35 |
| tlhunter | if I chmod a-x a bunch of services in /etc/init.d, does that disable them from running at boot? | 01:35 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, then I would install Ubuntu on the USB stick (rather than making a Live USB stick. You'll need a CD with Ubuntu (or another USB stick to use as install) | 01:36 |
| edbian | tlhunter: it should yes | 01:36 |
| edbian | tlhunter: not sure what the a does. But if the files are not executable (-x) they wont' execute | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | tlhunter: You're welcome. | 01:36 |
| tlhunter | thanks edbian | 01:36 |
| edbian | tlhunter: sure | 01:36 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: i was reading from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ that the way i am doing it will work | 01:37 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, yes. And like I told you, it will. I'm just explaining that there other way, and the difference to it. | 01:38 |
| Co11ym00r3 | hi guys | 01:39 |
| seanmc98 | oh ok thank you for all your help carandraug | 01:39 |
| seanmc98 | getting ready to boot into ubuntu now | 01:39 |
| seanmc98 | be back soon | 01:39 |
| edbian | Co11ym00r3: hello | 01:40 |
| carandraug | edbian, I believe the a means all (but I've been wrong before) | 01:40 |
| carandraug | edbian, yes. I just checked the man page. 'a' means all. a+x reads 'add (+) the execute bit (x) to all users (a)' | 01:41 |
| edbian | carandraug: I would do sudo chmod -xR . | 01:41 |
| edbian | carandraug: aaahhhh not all files but all users | 01:41 |
| edbian | carandraug: right-o | 01:41 |
| carandraug | edbian, o-x removes the execute from the owner | 01:42 |
| carandraug | of the file | 01:42 |
| edbian | carandraug: Never used it like that! :) | 01:42 |
| anomaliz | hello | 01:42 |
| carandraug | edbian, personally, I prefer the numeric mode 744. But it's handy to know the syntax as many people prefer this | 01:43 |
| edbian | carandraug: yes me too. Thanks :) | 01:43 |
| carandraug | edbian, actually. o is the group that owns the file. u is for the user that owns the file | 01:43 |
| seanmc98 | carandraug: i need your opinion. what is better.. mint or ubuntu? | 01:43 |
| edbian | seanmc98: mint | 01:44 |
| edbian | seanmc98: but this is #ubuntu so I'm gonna get yelled at now :P | 01:44 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, I believe that's a matter of taste. I never used mint myself. Seen it once and wasn't impressed | 01:44 |
| centHOGG | linux for desktops = joke | 01:44 |
| seanmc98 | well ubuntu is the first linux OS i have ever tried | 01:44 |
| edbian | seanmc98: Ubuntu is great! :D | 01:45 |
| seanmc98 | but the problem i have been haiving is i boot ubuntu from a CD | 01:45 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, ubuntu is nice. You may want to try other distros later. Many Linux users are afflicted with distro hoping. I've tried Debian and Arch as well | 01:45 |
| seanmc98 | and i only have wireless so it installs the drivers and says reboot to finish installation and it pops out cd and boots to windows | 01:46 |
| tw | Chipzzz: It turns out run-parts didn't like my script (bad format, it says). if-up.d/ does get called by nm. | 01:46 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, hmmm.. yeah. Install on a USB stick then. It should solve your problem | 01:47 |
| seanmc98 | that should!! thanks man you are so much help!! | 01:48 |
| Gracenotes | hi. I'm having serious issues with graphical login (safe mode/root terminal work fine). according to auth.log, I log in then immediately log off, because something important crashes, it seems | 01:48 |
| canu-qumm | hey | 01:48 |
| Chipzzz | tw: I'm surprised at that... I've had problems setting up wireless cards & had the impression that nm would mess up interfaces configurations | 01:49 |
| canu-qumm | erm, i'm on ubuntu 10.10 and I recently got emerald theme manager. | 01:49 |
| invisiblek | lets see, disabled hw_scan on iwl3945, well see if that helps (even though modinfo says it's deprecated) | 01:49 |
| canu-qumm | it doesnt work. | 01:49 |
| canu-qumm | Well, I successfully imported the themes to it, but when I click on a theme, it does not change anything. | 01:49 |
| Gracenotes | it usually seems to be after mucking with nvidia's X settings, but there's nothing particularly wrong with Xorg.0.log or.. any log, that I can see | 01:49 |
| Chipzzz | tw: maybe it's a version thing... what version are you running? | 01:50 |
| Gracenotes | I'm a tad tired of having to re-install Ubuntu... uh... three times in three days, now? | 01:50 |
| seanmc98 | can i make linux mint bootable from usb drivetoo ? | 01:50 |
| canu-qumm | umm. | 01:51 |
| invisiblek | eww, still 41% packet loss over 10 seconds | 01:51 |
| tw | Chipzzz: this is 11.04. my nm version is 0.8.4~git.2011<some numbers get cut off> | 01:52 |
| canu-qumm | why isn't emerald working on 10.10? i click on a theme and it doesn't do anything... yes, themes are successfully imported. I can't see the problem.. | 01:52 |
| benonsoftware | hi all | 01:52 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: Can you do a terminal login, run "gnome-session 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gnome-session-log.txt" then pastebin /tmp/gnome-session-log.txt ? | 01:52 |
| xindz | Guys are "Not cloning cgroup for unused subsystem ns" something to worry about? | 01:52 |
| xindz | Got that "error" all over my /var/log/messages file | 01:52 |
| qin | canu-qumm: emerald --replace, and emerald is dead software, thus not supported. | 01:53 |
| Chipzzz | tw: maybe they've improved it since I was having that problem (back in the late 9.x & early 10.x versions)... thanks for that | 01:53 |
| Gracenotes | Jordan_U: ah. I assume there is output, but once I do xinit gdm, or gnome-session I suppose, I can't see it. tee makes lots of sense >_> brb | 01:53 |
| canu-qumm | qin: I made it work on 11.04, it's amazing.. you're probably right on the dead part. | 01:53 |
| canu-qumm | qin: it's still popular around deviantArt though. | 01:53 |
| tw | Chipzzz: np, try to run the directory with run-parts manually and see if it craps out on you like mine did. | 01:53 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, I believe you can install any Linux on a USB stick and boot from it (different from making a Live USB/CD) | 01:54 |
| seanmc98 | whats the difference fom booting from one and a live USB? | 01:54 |
| Chipzzz | tw: thanks, that's a good idea... I'll keep it in mind for next time around :) | 01:54 |
| qin | canu-qumm: Yeah, pity, could have decor ala Mathew Farrel ;( | 01:55 |
| seanmc98 | hmmm use 8 gig flash drive for ubuntu bootable pendrive and use 4 gig for storing files or vice versa | 01:55 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, you can install on the USB stick (as if it was just another HD), or you can make a Live USB (with or without a persistent file). I explained you this 10min ago | 01:55 |
| riz0n | Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 11.04. A couple of things -- first I'm not wild about the new interface. Is there a way to go back to old version, or at least move the sidebar on the left to the bottom of the screen? | 01:55 |
| === xindz is now known as xindzz`off | ||
| qin | !classic | riz0n | 01:56 |
| ubottu | riz0n: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 01:56 |
| seanmc98 | lol i am sorry. i want to install on USB stick | 01:56 |
| riz0n | kewl | 01:56 |
| riz0n | can KDE loaded just like the old days sudo apt-get kde | 01:56 |
| benonsoftware | riz0n: Pretty sure you can | 01:57 |
| riz0n | Also if I should choose to keep "Unity" is there a way to move the task bar to the top or bottom of the screen instead of having it hover the left hand side of the screen? | 01:57 |
| carandraug | seanmc98, burn the iso on a CD (you already have a Ubuntu CD so this is already done). Boot from the CD and choose to install. During the install steps, when it asks if you want Ubuntu to take the whole disk or to install side by side with windows, choose manual, and install on the USB stick | 01:57 |
| seanmc98 | k i will be gone doing tat | 01:58 |
| Blackoakx22 | Its seanmc98 | 01:58 |
| invisiblek | think i might have got it | 02:00 |
| rawfodog | Hey, I was wondering how I wopuld update my linux kernal easily ? | 02:00 |
| invisiblek | disabled hw_scan on iwl3945, switched from network-manager to wicd | 02:00 |
| invisiblek | 0% packet loss | 02:00 |
| riz0n | rawfodog: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 02:00 |
| ssquirrel | hello ... does anyone know the correct syntax for /etc/security/limits.conf to include everyone but one person or two? | 02:00 |
| rawfodog | sweet | 02:00 |
| canu-qumm | qin: but there's one problem, --replace only does the thing if that terminal is opened | 02:00 |
| canu-qumm | qin: if I close it, emerald goes down. | 02:00 |
| qin | canu-qumm: Alt-F2 | 02:00 |
| benonsoftware | rawfodog: What version of ubuntu fo you have? | 02:00 |
| rawfodog | 11 | 02:00 |
| rawfodog | My kernal is.38 tho | 02:01 |
| === RyanP is now known as debbie15 | ||
| rawfodog | newest stable is.39 | 02:01 |
| rawfodog | I've been reading it fixed some major issues with unity | 02:01 |
| ssquirrel | guess not | 02:01 |
| benonsoftware | rawfodog: ok run $ sudo apt-get update then $ apt-cache search kernel-image and now install kernel by explicitly specifying version number: | 02:01 |
| riz0n | do u guys know the graphics setting that allowed you to move the window and it would wiggle and wobble around until you dropped it? how do you set that up with the new unity? | 02:01 |
| benonsoftware | $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.xx-yy-generic | 02:01 |
| Chipzzz | ssquirrel: man limits.conf | 02:02 |
| canu-qumm | qin: oh right, gotta add it to list of startup apps. | 02:02 |
| qin | canu-qumm: No | 02:02 |
| Gracenotes | Jordan_U: hm... I run xinit gnome-session... it says gnome-user-share can't be started as root, and additionally the login screen never shows up | 02:03 |
| Phr3d13 | hi all, asking again: anyone ever able to get a pci vt6410 ide card working in ubuntu 10.10? | 02:03 |
| Gracenotes | doing xinit gdm does show the login screen, but has no real stderr/stdin output | 02:03 |
| qin | canu-qumm: In ccsm (compiz) set window decorator (propably there is way to do it with gconf too) | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: You should not be running anything as root. Are you? | 02:04 |
| wabznasm | riz0n: install ccsm (compiz config settings manager) and there's an animation setting in there somewhere for wobbly windows | 02:04 |
| Gracenotes | well it is a root terminal :/ yeah, that was silly of me. | 02:04 |
| Gracenotes | I'll su as myself and try again | 02:04 |
| qin | Gracenotes: he? | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: I thought you were using the failsafe terminal option from GDM (the Gnome login screen). | 02:05 |
| canu-qumm | qin: erm.. k | 02:05 |
| canu-qumm | qin: do you know how exactly bmpanel2 works? excuse me if you've never heard of it. | 02:05 |
| Gracenotes | Jordan_U: no, that fails | 02:05 |
| Chipzzz | Gracenotes: "sudo -i" is recommended | 02:05 |
| Gracenotes | additionally, failsafe x mode fails | 02:05 |
| qin | canu-qumm: bmpanel? not idea, using dzen or tint | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | Gracenotes: Do you see the GDM screen at all? | 02:06 |
| Gracenotes | I mean booting up grub into recovery mode, dropping to root terminal, which just has VESA | 02:06 |
| Gracenotes | Jordan_U: yes. and I type in my password. And there's a blank screen, and I'm back at the login screen. | 02:06 |
| canu-qumm | qin: it's a netwm compatible panel for x11, pretty fun actually | 02:06 |
| canu-qumm | qin: it's written in C, so it's fast as hell. | 02:06 |
| Gracenotes | er s/VESA/VGA/ display | 02:06 |
| danny__ | hello I was wondering if anyone could help me set up a remote desktop | 02:07 |
| piero | Where can I find help about gnome3 on ubuntu 11.04? | 02:07 |
| qin | Gracenotes: If any, framebuffer | 02:07 |
| Phr3d13 | piero: try the ubuntu+1 chat room | 02:07 |
| qin | Phr3d13: #ubuntu+1 in for 11.10 | 02:08 |
| qin | !gnome3 | piero | 02:08 |
| ubottu | piero: 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. | 02:08 |
| canu-qumm | /var/lib/dpkg can't be ran by 2 processes? only 1? that sucks.. | 02:08 |
| Phr3d13 | i thought it was for 11.04 my bad | 02:08 |
| Gracenotes | actually, when I run gdm from root terminal, between the flashing blank screens is a white x terminal, for a fraction of a second | 02:09 |
| krux | piero the gnome website has also a jhbuild way of getting gnome3.. and they got step by steps.. | 02:09 |
| ugly_duck | what stops unity from running | 02:09 |
| qin | Gracenotes: Thats xterm | 02:09 |
| Gracenotes | yeah | 02:09 |
| danny__ | hello I was wondering if anyone could help me set up a remote desktop | 02:09 |
| Gracenotes | and then it goes back to gdm login screen | 02:09 |

| johannes_ | hi I installed a new gpu but ubuntu wont find it, what can I do to "rescan" for the newly installed one? | 03:04 |
| Jordan_U | Seanmc98|mobile: No, they quiet you temporarily. If you purposely flood *I* will kick you. | 03:05 |

| lintux | ok i was trying some of the compiz settings and now i can't drag my windows around the screen like i used to would like to know if there is some type of restore settings like the way it was when i installed Ubuntu 11.04? | 03:05 |

| IdleOne | Seanmc98|mobile: Please keep the language clean | 03:07 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | saruji: to make a live usb or boot from it | 03:07 |
| saruji | Seanmc98|mobile to boot from it...but its ubuntu mini and i tried penthumb or whatever and it does not see the iso file | 03:07 |

| johannes_ | what should I look for? | 03:09 |
| saruji | Jagged2 nevermind I found unetbootin and that does the job thanks! | 03:09 |

| consolers | i tried formatting a usb flash drive as ext2, and copied a linux system and installed grub. it boots on one box, but not on another box -- bios doesnt recognize it at boot. is there some rule that says flash drives have to be fat32/fat16 for the bios to detect it? (the same flash drive was recognized on this 2nd box at boot before when it was fat) | 03:11 |
| qin | johannes_: And you want then to work at the same time, dual-head? | 03:12 |
| johannes_ | yes | 03:12 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, during installation you have to install on the USB, not on the HD | 03:12 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I clicked usb | 03:12 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, that also applies for the bootloader | 03:12 |
| qin | johannes_: Uhm, never did it. | 03:13 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, that menu that shows up, what options does it show? | 03:13 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | His do I make it so I will boot to windiest when I start computer | 03:13 |
| IanLiu | How can I make LC_ALL variable work? I've installed Portuguese translations but LC_ALL=pt_BR.utf8 gedit won't launch translated gedit. Please, can someone help? | 03:13 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Choose a OS to boot into. Windows or ubuntu | 03:13 |
| consolers | btw ubuntu 11.04 kernel wants to load i915.ko for the 82845G video chipset, and that fails, (it should use i810), both the intel and vesa drivers (xorg shipped with 11.04) fail on this chipset --- intel fails to start, vesa gives a blank screen. | 03:13 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, to remove grub and reinstall the windows bootloader you need the windows cd | 03:14 |
| qin | IanLiu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales Does it fill LC_ALL | 03:14 |
| hexacode | my wireless network connection applet, or top right icon has dissapeared...how do i make it come back? | 03:14 |
| benonsoftware | hexacode: Reboot? | 03:15 |
| eli_ | why wont anyone help, i'm using this os, i support and promote and help others when i can,..... i have random beeping in the playback of my webcam video with built in mic, how do i update the drivers? :( thanks | 03:15 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, I never had to do it. Like I said before, I don't use windows in years. And if you installed the bootloader on the HD rather than the USB, you'll need to to do it again | 03:15 |
| IanLiu | qin: Running that command lists all locales present in my computer followed by "up-to-date" | 03:15 |
| hexacode | benonsoftware nope | 03:15 |

| Seanmc98|mobile | I uninstalled it | 03:17 |
| johannes_ | qin mhm doesnt seem to work, I will probably just get an adapter | 03:17 |
| carandraug | eli_, no. I've installed my own modules once, a long time ago, but I was just following a bunch commands that were given to me. Now I just get hardware that I know I won't have problems with | 03:17 |
| IanLiu | qin: I want to translate the gedit application, so I set LC_ALL to translate it, but it does not work | 03:17 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I got it to boot right into windows | 03:17 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, if it shows there, you installed with Wubi. That's not what you wnat | 03:17 |
| eli_ | too bad huh? | 03:18 |
| eli_ | well how do i turn down the fuzz in my internal mic? | 03:18 |
| qin | IanLiu: Apparently, you can just export it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables | 03:18 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | That's what was on the cd when I burnt ubunti iso | 03:18 |

| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, you have to restart the PC and boot from the CD | 03:18 |
| eli_ | ignoring me, thanks you :) | 03:19 |
| carandraug | Seanmc98|mobile, hmmm.. you seem to be doing this for the first time. Maybe it's not good to install on the USB stick. You may end up accidentaly removing your windows partition | 03:20 |
| addisonj_ | j #node.js | 03:20 |

| Seanmc98|mobile | It is my first time | 03:20 |

| ntoombs | Hi. I'm having problems opeing port 80 for my LAMP server. I have opened port 22 sucessfully for an ssh connection the same way I opened port 80 however, port 80 still remains closed. I have called my ISP multiple times to see if they are not blocking it and they confermed that they are not. The LAMP server is working perfectally on a local connection but no one can see it externally. Can anyone think of a reason why port 80 would | 03:22 |
| IanLiu | qin: that was my first attempt, nothing works | 03:23 |
| ntoombs | i've done sudo nmap -p 80 173.186.172.192 and i get the response '80/tcp open http' | 03:23 |
| consolers | i've already trawled google and didnt find any pages on it, not even ones that said it was a bad idea: i dont want an iso, i wanted the actual filesystem (unpacked) on the flash drive | 03:23 |
| dli | ntoombs, NAT? | 03:23 |
| qin | IanLiu: BUg? | 03:23 |

| chewyTree | almoxarife, Ive been trying to set up the ports to use transmission for the better part of 2 hours. Seems like no matter what I do, its always closed | 03:42 |
| psusi | chewyTree, set your router for forward some ports to you, and configure transmission to use them.. though if your router supports UPnP, this should happen automatically | 03:42 |
| almoxarife | chewyTree: can you access the firewall between you and the internet? | 03:42 |
| soreau | chewyTree: Not really a ubuntu-specific issue. You have to configure your router and/or server correctly | 03:42 |
| eli_ | its from the microphone on my webcam, throughout the whole video, i cant hear it, outside of the actual video, i probably should update the driver, it was plug and play, but i cant find the manufacturer of my webcam | 03:42 |
| nate114578 | Hello, I am running Ubuntu virtually and am unable to print. Is that possible? | 03:42 |
| chewyTree | almoxarife, I think thats the issue. Verizon has it all blocked, no matter what i set my router as | 03:43 |
| almoxarife | chewyTree: how are you connected to the internet? | 03:43 |
| chewyTree | almoxarife, my router is directly connected to the fios box | 03:43 |
| nate114578 | broadband/directly connected | 03:43 |
| soreau | nate114578: Sure, for various reasons. One of which may be that the virtual machine does not have direct hardware access to whatever the printer connects to | 03:43 |
| Saruji | Jordan_U hey I already have my usb thumb drive setup to boot from the mini ubuntu iso, the problem i have is with the partitioning screen, could you possibly help me out? | 03:43 |
| nate114578 | my printer shows up but the jobs always fail | 03:44 |
| almoxarife | chewyTree: if verizon blocks ports then you need to figure out which are not blocked, if they block bittorrent protocol then you are screwed | 03:44 |
| soreau | nate114578: I'd try it from a live session and make sure it's working there first | 03:44 |
| soreau | That would at least rule out driver/configuration issue | 03:45 |
| nate114578 | thats what i'll try... thanks! | 03:45 |
| eli_ | its from the microphone on my webcam, throughout the whole video, i cant hear it, outside of the actual video, i probably should update the driver, it was plug and play, but i cant find the manufacturer of my webcam | 03:45 |

| soreau | kion: Does this show your AP? 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -i ssid' | 03:49 |
| almoxarife | chewyTree: first thing, decide what ports tcp/udp you want to use on transmission | 03:49 |
| prabhakar | how can i stop the duplicate folders | 03:49 |
| Jake556778 | HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEeeee ..... | 03:49 |
| Jake556778 | e.. | 03:49 |
| acklee | almoxarife: transmission usually use udp datagram.. | 03:49 |
| kion | YES! | 03:49 |
| almoxarife | chewyTree: don't do that, recheck those, those have nothing to do with what you need to set up | 03:49 |
| kion | sorry for the uppercase | 03:49 |

| kion | if I click on the networks icon the wireless networks are greyed out and cand see any | 03:50 |
| almoxarife | Jake556778: yes, simple with 'dnsmasq' | 03:50 |
| Jake556778 | so there is no DNS server already on ubuntu? | 03:50 |
| soreau | ! who | kion | 03:51 |
| ubottu | kion: 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 :) | 03:51 |
| wabznasm | Jake: It's a DNS server - it will cache DNS requests instead of always going to your DNS provider (ISP or open) | 03:51 |

| almoxarife | arch linux? | 03:52 |
| littlebearz | almoxarife: light distro 300Mb | 03:52 |
| kion | soreau: yes it is enabled | 03:52 |
| kion | soreau: and sudo ifconfig wlan0 up does no good | 03:52 |

| soreau | kion: Is NetworkManager running? Check the output of 'ps ax|grep NetworkManager' | 03:53 |
| kion | soreau: yes i have two processes running | 03:54 |
| zykotick9 | soreau, i can't think of a reason when pppoe over wireless would ever make sense (as you'd be connecting to a router most likely), but i can see how it would cause issues.... i imagine removing the pppoe changes might be required. | 03:54 |
| acklee | Jake556778: note that if your internet connection through the MikroTik, you can create the DNS server there | 03:54 |
| soreau | kion: Next thing I would do is left-click on the network icon and select 'Edit Connections..' | 03:54 |
| soreau | kion: Make sure things are sane there | 03:54 |
| soreau | zykotick9: I really have no idea what the problem is but maybe he will see it himself while walking through the basic steps | 03:55 |
| kion | soreau: on my wireless network everything appears greyed out and cannot edit or change anything | 03:55 |
| soreau | kion: Is it a laptop? HP by chance? Does it have a wifi switch to enable/disable wireless? | 03:56 |
| kion | no it is an Alienware | 03:57 |
| zykotick9 | soreau, from what i remember (and it's been a LONG time since i used pppoe directly on my system) it creates some sort of virtual adapter and diables the regular network adapter interface - but it's been a long time! | 03:57 |
| kion | and yes it has something like a switch | 03:57 |
| soreau | zykotick9: ick | 03:57 |

| ntoombs | I'm having problems opeing port 80 for my LAMP server. I have opened port 22 sucessfully for an ssh connection the same way I opened port 80 however, port 80 still remains closed. I have called my ISP multiple times to see if they are not blocking it and they confermed that they are not. The LAMP server is working perfectally on a local connection but no one can see it externally. Why would port 80 would still be closed? | 03:58 |
| soreau | kion: You might have to mess with 'rfkill' though I'm just guessing | 03:58 |
| soreau | kion: rfkill unblock wif | 03:58 |

| almoxarife | kion: go to system > admin > net tools , in net devices do you see 'wlan?' | 03:59 |
| kion | soreau: yes I see wlan0 | 03:59 |
| tonyyarusso | ntoombs: Did you forward it on your router? | 03:59 |
| soreau | kion: I'm not the one that asked you that ;) | 03:59 |
| ntoombs | tonyyarusso: yes | 03:59 |
| kion | :-D | 04:00 |
| tonyyarusso | ntoombs: Is Apache listening for connections from outside your network? Anything in the log files? | 04:00 |
| ntoombs | the /etc/apache2/ports.conf file says it is listening on port 80 | 04:00 |

| ntoombs | tonyyarusso: yea /query me | 04:01 |
| almoxarife | kion: down from there, in ip info, what is the ip adress? | 04:02 |

| bubbles| | is it a problem to install a second instance? | 04:03 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | bubbles| | 04:03 |
| ubottu | bubbles|: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 04:03 |
| soreau | bubbles|: It can be problematic depending on how different the two versions are, where they store config files, if the config stuff is different between the versions etc | 04:04 |
| kion | almoxarife: so how do I connect if i cant see my network | 04:04 |
| almoxarife | kion: I assume you have a wifi connection avail? | 04:04 |
| soreau | bubbles|: I do not know enough about mysql myself to say though | 04:04 |
| kion | almoxarife: what is an avail? | 04:04 |
| bubbles| | soreau well that's why i want to install the new version in a new location, so config files don't mix | 04:05 |

| kion | almoxarife: my own wireless modem!! | 04:05 |
| almoxarife | kion: you are using a desktop ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| soreau | bubbles|: Often times programs use config files from a common place regardless the version, such as somewhere in ~/.config/ or /etc/ | 04:05 |
| almoxarife | kion: see the network icon on the top panel? | 04:06 |
| kion | almoxarife: yes ther is the icon | 04:06 |

| acklee | Jake556778: no undo, to repeat recent commands, press Up-Down buttons | 04:06 |
| almoxarife | kion: click on it, see your wifi id? | 04:06 |
| soreau | bubbles|: config files stored in /etc/ are system wide while stuff in ~/ is specific to the current user | 04:07 |
| qin | Jake556778: "Undo" what command? | 04:07 |
| kion | almoxarife: I cant see any wifi Essid, I only see a greyed out wireless networks option that i cannot choose | 04:07 |
| almoxarife | kion: right click on the network icon, is wifi checked? | 04:08 |
| almoxarife | kion: actually it should say 'wireless' | 04:09 |
| kion | almoxarife: yes both activate network and activate wireless are checked | 04:09 |
| zykotick9 | almoxarife, not sure if you where here in the beginning -- i think kion said the problem started after trying to setup PPPOE on his wireless device. | 04:09 |

| almoxarife | kion: pppoe on wireless? | 04:10 |
| kion | almoxarife: actually I went with pppoeconf and got my wireless working with my modem set up as bridge | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | almoxarife, :) that was my reaction | 04:11 |
| soreau | mikubuntu: Does the printer itself show out of paper or just the UI interface? | 04:11 |
| soreau | redundant.. | 04:11 |
| kion | almoxarife: after a reboot i couldnt connect anymore so i reset my modem to act as a router and my wifi was messed up | 04:11 |
| almoxarife | kion: is there some reason why the traditional wifi connection is not avail? | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | wabznasm: As far as I can tell apt-fast will only make things faster by you by giving you a disproportionate (see unfair) amount of bandwidth from the package servers. There are enough mirrors that you should be able to find one that can saturate your connection without overloading servers with connections. | 04:12 |
| mikubuntu | soreau: the ui, i just lookd at the unit i don't know where it might indicate out of paper on the box itself | 04:12 |
| kion | almoxarife: No, it is available, its just my wlan0 that is not showing the network | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | wabznasm: Try using Software-Sources' option for finding the fastest server for a better way to get more speed. | 04:13 |
| soreau | mikubuntu: On my hp printer, it will show a blinking 'E' on the unit when there's a problem (such as out-of-paper) | 04:13 |
| kion | almoxarife: I was thinking to connecti it manually with ifconfig | 04:13 |
| almoxarife | kion: the best advice I ever got when it came to crippled network setups was to delete them, so that a generic is recreated when you reboot, you think that's an option? | 04:13 |

| soreau | mikubuntu: never had any problems with it | 04:14 |
| mikubuntu | soreau: nope, nothing like that showing anywhere | 04:14 |
| mikubuntu | soreau: yes, thats what surprises me, usually hp plays great with ubuntu | 04:14 |
| soreau | mikubuntu: I guess it could be a driver issue but I'd suspect some configuration is confusing it | 04:14 |
| soreau | mikubuntu: I wouldn't really know what though, as I've never had an issue | 04:15 |
| almoxarife | kion: right click the network icon, see 'edit connections' go to wireless tab, what ever exists in wireless tab 'delete' | 04:15 |

| RediXe | Looking for some help with getting my NVidia GT 240 video card working with 11.04 (installed with Wubi) - Current state: I get a terminal only | 05:09 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, ubu 11.04, 4hhd /sda/ and /sdb/ are 1tb raid0, /sdc/ is a 500g backup drive /sdd/ is a 1tb drive and where it is installing ubu. The bootloader screen is ofering: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/6910/91290583.png | 05:10 |
| Jordan_U | saruji_: Which doesn't it show? | 05:10 |
| saruji_ | Jordan_U, it does not show the 320 Gb drive which is split into 2 partitions and the one that has windows installed | 05:11 |
| acklee | RediXe: if the nvidia drivers don’t allow you to have special effects, just try this | 05:12 |
| acklee | RediXe: blacklist nouveau | 05:12 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: What happens if you choose the first option? | 05:12 |

| FriGiN | Jordan_U, the ok button does nothing. I'm half scared to do anything else, i can't lose win7 | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: And yes, choosing the second option would make Windows (temporarily) unbootable. | 05:13 |
| acklee | RediXe: in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 05:13 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, i can live with temporary, if i can get it back | 05:13 |
| gry | perfectjitesh, what did you get after following them? | 05:13 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, even if im using a grub loader i dont care. | 05:14 |
| acklee | RediXe: then "update-initramfs -u" in Terminal | 05:14 |
| Guest77016 | I use linux mint 11, and how to install nessus on it? | 05:14 |
| perfectjitesh | gry @ i am trying to find ur previos message give me a min | 05:14 |
| acklee | RediXe: download & install normally the nvidia proprietary drivers. restart the x server and everything should be fine | 05:14 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: You don't want to install to a partition anyway. I assume that you have selected the first option and the install is continuing successfully now? | 05:15 |
| RediXe | acklee, I'll give it a shot - but thinking I worded my current state wrong.. I have no desktop atm - it just spits me to the command line | 05:15 |
| wildbat | rkhshm: may be that y the automount failed ~ is it formatted ? or try scandisk in windows see if it fix | 05:15 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, no its stuck where it was, nothing happens if i select /dev/mapper/pdc_bahcbhddbf | 05:15 |
| SeanBannister | Just wondering, once I edit a port in /etc/services does anyone know what service I have to restart to make the port changes known | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Is there an option to continue without installing a bootloader? | 05:16 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, yes, how do i load ubu if it doesnt have boot loader then | 05:16 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: By installing grub manually from the LiveCD or using Super GRUB2 Disk. | 05:17 |
| ka1gdq | no luck..way too much time adn I am beat! | 05:17 |
| RediXe | acklee, I tried installing nvidia-current and I think I got to the basic gnome desktop.. downloaded the nvidia driver for linux 32bit off their site and now back to CLI only ... while I had the basic desktop I checked the other drivers that lists the propietary drivers and it said it was installed but not in use (no activate button either) | 05:17 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, last i knew, grub was difficult to mess with and unforgiving has that changed? | 05:17 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I would highly recommend installing 11.04 rather than 10.10 though, as it has a newer version of grub. | 05:17 |
| perfectjitesh | gry @ is it important to setup $path | 05:18 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, i am using 11.04 | 05:18 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal | 05:18 |
| gry | perfectjitesh: I suppose. | 05:18 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Good (sorry, I was confusing you for saruji_ who is installing Ubuntu 10.10). | 05:19 |
| acklee | RediXe: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 05:19 |

| sb1 | is there anyone who can help me with this : i want to restart mysql in uck-remaster and add new database | 05:20 |
| saruji_ | Jordan_U, just that i've had the same issue with 11.04 before, right now i've got 10.10 avail | 05:20 |
| sb1 | how to stop system level mysql and restart it in uck-remaster | 05:20 |
| sb1 | and add new database | 05:20 |
| saruji_ | Jordan_U, any ideas? | 05:20 |
| perfectjitesh | gry@ sorry i am a bit scared last after doing it my ubuntu crashed :( like i could not load into unity or root even with startx. i am done with installing everything except $path , just tell me if it's safe . sorry i know it is a silly question | 05:20 |
| ActionParsnip | sb1: could add a script to run at boot | 05:20 |
| gry | perfectjitesh: It is safe indeed. | 05:21 |
| sam1234 | oh sorry obottu. im strucked with my VGA driver with ubuntu distro from two weeks. | 05:21 |
| sb1 | i am customizing a livecd where on livecd i want to add new mysql database when i try to restart mysql it does not start as it is running on system i need to know how to restart mysql in livecd and create new database over there which i can pack on livecd | 05:21 |
| sam1234 | it give me device not found error. dont know how to fix it. | 05:22 |
| perfectjitesh | gry@ okay let me complete then i'll tell u what is not happening most probably it will say that it does not understnad "adb" when i use some commands | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sam1234: install nvidia-current and it will give the driver you need, you may need to add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 to get the initial desktop | 05:22 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: It depends on what you're doing. FakeRAID in linux is always complicated, that includes when dealing with grub. | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sb1: have you tried my suggestion? | 05:22 |
| gry | perfectjitesh: sure, just describe your issue once you understand it well, and explain what you did. | 05:22 |
| Nullifi3d | has the suspend/resume issue been fixed for core i* processors in 11.04? | 05:22 |
| sb1 | Actionparsnip:i dont know hw to do that | 05:23 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, soooo drop linux, go back to win, call it a day? I'm only playing with ubuntu for the giggles of it, looking for some possible game speed increases so nothing really serious and honestly my *nix info is about 15 years old. | 05:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sb1: if you get a boot, do you have a list of commands you can run to make the system do as you desire? | 05:24 |
| RediXe | acklee, thanks for the help - still not working for me though | 05:24 |
| kaellan | anyone here is a web designer or know how to make live cam feed onto a homepage from multible cams ? :) (i know its not a ubuntu question) :) | 05:24 |
| acklee | RediXe: then update-initramfs -u following with sudo apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-glx-185 | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | kaellan: then its offtopic here, this is Ubuntu support only | 05:25 |
| kaellan | ok :P | 05:25 |
| sb1 | actionparnip: i have opened my livecd.iso with uck-remaster-unpack now i want to add new mysql and postgres database here can y tell me step by step to do this | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Don't expect game speed increases with Ubuntu (or any other distro), that said I'm curious why grub isn't installing so if you're OK with it I'd actually prefer to keep troubleshooting :) | 05:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: apparent counter strike source runs better under wine than in windows :) | 05:26 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, 100% happy to be ur guinea pig as long as win 7 doesnt go anywhere. and as far as speed increases thats due to an overdue overhaul of win7 with bad drivers and some other complicated crap i'd normally just format. However there is some work stuff i cant get back for about 3 months if i lose windows. | 05:27 |
| RediXe | acklee, still no such luck | 05:27 |
| sam1234 | ok ActionParsnip. thx lot will try and share the result. | 05:27 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: The "dangerous" part, resizing the Windows partition, is already over. Even if grub completely fails there will be no data loss and it's easy to restore an MS style mbr to get Windows booting. | 05:29 |
| acklee | RediXe: I'm reallu sorry, can't help you for this anymore, so it might another problem | 05:29 |
| kaellan | annyone tried eve online in ubuntu and/or how is it running? smooth or crap ? :P | 05:29 |

| RediXe | acklee, Yeah I'll give a read - thanks again for the help :) | 05:48 |
| kaellan | how do i open th nvidia x gui if i dont cant click on the ubuntu logo in upper left corner ? :P | 05:48 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I don't want anything we did to affect what the installer might still need to do. | 05:48 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, well im pretty sure its hosed already, i cant click ok on any of the options including the "cancel installation" | 05:49 |
| tux_ | what are you having problems with | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Then just leave it however it is and we'll install grub and see what happens. Did you run "exit" or the for loop I gave yet? If not, don't. If so tell me which you have run. | 05:51 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, i cant even get installer to go away... | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I understand that. | 05:51 |
| tux_ | try to restart | 05:51 |
| === perfectjitesh is now known as your_favorite_ni | ||
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, so leave installer mucked up, then just go ahead and dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc again? | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Have you run "exit" yet? (yes or no) | 05:53 |
| FriGiN | no im totally horked. give me like 10 mins. let me restart pc, resetup my wireless and get back in chat. scratch it all over | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Also, when I ask questions please answer them the first time I ask them. I don't like that I have had to repeat questions to you multiple times already. | 05:54 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, i have been to my knowledge answering you to the best of my ability the first time. if i miss something please feel free to tell me to scroll up. | 05:54 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I don't think you're totally borked at all. Please just answer the question if you have run "exit" or not yet before doing anything else. | 05:55 |
| kaellan | how do i open th nvidia x if i cant click on the ubuntu logo in upper left corner ? | 05:55 |

| ktime | does anyone know anything about the error "grub-mkconfig couldn't be executed successfully. You must run this as root!" with grub-customizer? | 05:56 |
| tux_ | what about the grub | 05:56 |
| pratz | guys any help ?? | 05:56 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, how would i go about changing that? | 05:56 |
| pratz | processor - core 2 deo | 05:56 |
| tux_ | where did you put the grub | 05:56 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Then just run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". | 05:56 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, ps thank you | 05:56 |
| tux_ | does it give you an option | 05:57 |
| ktime | i'm getting the error grub-mkconfig couldn't be executed successfully. You must run this as root! I ran gksu grub-mkconfig and it stops after BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### | 05:57 |

| balls_429 | o/ | 05:57 |
| tux_ | pratz | 05:57 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: I don't think that is the prob, what is special about 2 of those hard drives? | 05:57 |
| ktime | do you think it would have anything to do with windows 7 being my default os? | 05:58 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Now I agree that things are borked :). | 05:58 |
| pratz | tux_: blank screen which say hd0 - out of disk | 05:58 |
| tuanht | does anyone known how to run a custom-script after ubiquity installer complete? (d-i preseed/late_command not work for me) | 05:58 |
| acklee | ktime: sudo grub-mkconfig ? | 05:58 |
| balls_429 | s0f7_mach1ne: hello sir | 05:58 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, well im not too out of it to recognize borked when i see it. give me like 10. i'll be back | 05:58 |
| tux_ | ps me | 05:58 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, Windows 7 is installed on that 1 hard drive but it is split into 2 partitions | 05:58 |
| tux_ | pratz | 05:58 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: the ones that don't show, special how? | 05:58 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I need to go to sleep soon so reboot and confirm that you can still boot Windows. | 05:59 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, ok | 05:59 |
| pratz | tux_: any more information you need buddy ?? | 05:59 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: how many physical drives are there? | 05:59 |
| ktime | BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### is what it stops on when I run gksu grub-mkconfig | 05:59 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, 4 | 05:59 |
| tux_ | no your hard drive might be going bad | 05:59 |
| sam1234 | ActionParsnip> i did how u said. but it give me error. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 05:59 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I'll help you recover if you can't, and I can probably help you get Ubuntu installed another day if you'd still like to try. | 05:59 |
| pratz | tux_: mother board is lenovo | 05:59 |
| pratz | tux_: how do i check if the hard disk is bad ?? | 06:00 |
| kaellan | Gfx driver question - Nvidia driver sais: "This driver is activated but not currently in use". How to activate ? | 06:00 |
| tux_ | you cant | 06:00 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: googled it? usb install hidden partions? | 06:00 |
| pratz | tux_: so whats the other option , and how can i recover the data ?? | 06:00 |
| tux_ | its eather the hard drive or the mother board or boath | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | pratz: You have a buggy BIOS which can't properly handle large drives. You can work around the bug by creating a small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive. | 06:00 |
| tux_ | install a linux os on a usb drive and run it on your computer and mount the hard drives | 06:01 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, doing so now, previously I came across a similar post labeled solved but not solution was given | 06:01 |
| tux_ | have you tryed reinstalling linux did it install okat | 06:02 |
| saliak | I've noticed random emails (well, really only one, from root to smsp) trying to get sent on my system. How would I figure out what program is queueing those? or better yet, make it remove them from the queue after so many fails (they are sitting there making my logs grow now) | 06:02 |
| tux_ | okay | 06:02 |
| tux_ | it might be the mother board if it installs good | 06:02 |
| sam1234 | hei why its a pain to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu ? | 06:03 |
| djcaston | would someone be able to tell me how to set a static ip for a computer connected to an ubuntu box through internet sharing? | 06:03 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: want to try something for shits and giggles, unplug one of the drives now showing, see if the missing drive/s show up? | 06:03 |
| pratz | tux_: i haved installed it successfully | 06:04 |
| pratz | tux_: with no erros | 06:04 |
| acklee | djcaston: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 06:04 |
| tux_ | ok then it may be your mother board | 06:04 |
| tux_ | how old is it | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | pratz: tux_: This is almost certainly due to a buggy BIOS as I have explained. | 06:04 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, i unplugged 3 hard drives and only left the one I wanted to install to and as a result it did not show up | 06:04 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: yup windoze is loaded. | 06:04 |
| tuanht | does anyone known how to run a custom-script after ubiquity installer complete? (d-i preseed/late_command not work for me) | 06:05 |
| djcaston | acklee what do i do? the only text in the doc is two lines: auto lo and iface lo inet loopback | 06:05 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: wanted to do a scandisk but eff that i canceled that junk. | 06:05 |
| tux_ | it may be but eather he gets a better bios or a new mother board | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | tux_: Or creates a small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive. | 06:05 |
| tux_ | it ant going to matter if the bios wont load it up | 06:06 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: you are installing 11.04, have you tried the cd/dvd, not the live, the one with repair/install | 06:06 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, no but I will give it a shot in a second | 06:06 |
| greg | how do i create a file that has a value of 5? | 06:07 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, by the way, i'm in GParted and the hard drive is showing up split into two just like it did in windows | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | greg: What do you mean by a value of 5? | 06:07 |
| andrew__ | hey can someone help me with xubuntu 11.04 | 06:07 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, and I've never hidden a drive so I dont know why it would be that... | 06:07 |
| greg | Jordan | 06:08 |
| greg | i'm not sure myself | 06:08 |
| greg | i'm trying to figure that out | 06:08 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: nothing to lose by trying the dvd/cd | 06:08 |
| greg | would it be something like "MYVAR1="5""? | 06:08 |
| andrew__ | how can i restore the bottom panel in xubuntu 11.04 | 06:08 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, right burning now, thanks for helping | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | greg: What are you trying to accomplish? | 06:08 |
| === FriGiN_ is now known as FriGiN | ||
| greg | essentially i'm trying to create a file, where one line has a value of 5 | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: If you want to try again then boot the LiveCD and run "sudo mount /dev/sdd5 /mnt/; sudo mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/dev/; sudo mount --bind /proc/ /mnt/proc/; sudo mount --bind /sys/ /mnt/sys/; sudo chroot /mnt/" then "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". | 06:09 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: I am talking about the 'alternate' cd, btw | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | greg: What is your end goal>? | 06:09 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U, you going to stay awake for a bit? if you want i will if not i'll try it another day. | 06:09 |
| saruji_ | almoxarife, what do you mean? So i have the default download from ubuntu.com of 11.04 64 bit, burnt to a cd right? | 06:10 |
| greg | ah, well the end goal is to create a script that reads the value from that file | 06:10 |
| tux_ | just try to redownload must be a bad download | 06:10 |
| tux_ | :) | 06:10 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: not sure, the default is something like 'desktop-11.04' I assume, and that is not it | 06:10 |
| greg | so I'm trying to create 2 files, file1 has a line with a value of 5, file2 has a line with a value of 100, and i'm trying to write a script to read the values from both files | 06:11 |
| Delrayne | hrm, just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and the OS icon wasn't on my desktop now it is...how can I get it off without breaking things? The only option I see is unmount, but that would bad right? | 06:11 |
| Jordan_U | greg: Then MYVAR=5 and loading the file with "source /path/to/file/" is the easiest solution, though completely insecure if you can't trust the file not to be mallicious. | 06:11 |
| neology | hi.. what are the good mobile web developer tools for ubuntu? | 06:11 |
| greg | Jordan: don't worry this is for my own practice and knowledge | 06:12 |
| almoxarife | saruji_: the one I am talking about http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64.iso | 06:12 |
| Delrayne | if I unmount 'OS' from my desktop will that unmount that drive completely? Or just remove it from my desktop? | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: I am going to leave now, come back in 10-20 minutes for a short time, then go to sleep. | 06:13 |
| greg | Jordan, any idead how I would divide the values from file 2 by the value in file1, and output the result of the calculation in a new file? :) | 06:13 |

| avik42 | how do I set windows to default boot in grub please? | 06:15 |
| Delrayne | almoxarife: yeah, this is my first linux experience, so bear with the stupidity a bit. | 06:15 |
| andrew__ | how do i restore xubuntu 11.04 bottom panel to defult | 06:16 |
| andrew__ | defaults | 06:16 |
| almoxarife | Delrayne: the thing is that those icons want to be created and put up for your enjoyment, you could delete the icon, but I think they return on the next re-boot | 06:17 |
| avik42 | how do I set windows to default boot in grub please? | 06:17 |
| almoxarife | avik42: in windows 'system something' sets the boot options | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | avik42: You cannot. Grub is no windows manager. | 06:18 |
| Delrayne | almoxarife: Ah, it just wasn't there after install so I figured I'd keep it clean, but if it wants to be there, thats fine. Thanks for the info. | 06:18 |
| avik42 | I am aware of that.. grub2 no longer has menu.lst .. I need to have my computer boot into windows as default, so my daughter can use it | 06:19 |
| tux_ | well just reinstall the windows boot sector on it again | 06:19 |
| tux_ | it well remove grub | 06:19 |
| avik42 | I either need the file I can manually edit (in that case where can I find it) or is there an app I can download that I can use to make Windows partition boot by default | 06:19 |
| almoxarife | Delrayne: listen to someone who trashed 'the other drive' cause it was there, linux is merciless about allowing you to destroy data in connected drives | 06:19 |

| BKTech86 | hi, I'm trying to configure grub with ubuntu on 1 hard drive and windows xp on a 2nd hard drive .. i had to remove the boot flag from the windows xp partition in order to get grub working again, but now if i try to boot the windows xp partition it says bootmgr missing | 06:45 |
| BKTech86 | i just want grub to recognize that the windows xp partition is bootable, and list it in the grub menu, can anyone help pls? | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: That's an error message from Windows, not from grub. | 06:47 |
| BKTech86 | yeah i know | 06:47 |
| BKTech86 | but how can i fix the whole situation | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: For help fixing Windows try ##windows. | 06:48 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: did you see my pastebin | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Yes. | 06:48 |
| bullgard4 | What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.) | 06:48 |
| BKTech86 | im not trying to fix windows im trying to get grub to recognize the windows partition and put it in the menu list | 06:48 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Once Windows is actually in a working state "sudo update-grub" will add an entry for it to the grub menu. | 06:49 |
| BKTech86 | well it was in a working state | 06:49 |
| BKTech86 | until i removed the boot flag | 06:49 |
| BKTech86 | and i did update-grub | 06:49 |
| BKTech86 | thats all i did and now its not in the list (1) and it wont boot (2) | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Did you install grub's boot sector to a partition rather than the mbr? | 06:50 |
| BKTech86 | ill tell you exactly what i did | 06:50 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 06:51 |
| BKTech86 | i mounted my normal linux partition that install grub to | 06:51 |
| BKTech86 | then i did sudo grub-install root-directory=/mnt/mountpointoflinux /dev/sda | 06:51 |
| BKTech86 | --root-directory* | 06:51 |
| BKTech86 | that's what i did | 06:51 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/642430/ | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Then the boot flag on the Windows partition should't have made any difference as far as grub working. | 06:52 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Unless you have a buggy BIOS or there is more to the story than that. | 06:52 |
| BKTech86 | Jordan_U: i know thats what someone else said when i installed windows7 on the same partition as that linux partition but it does make a difference | 06:52 |
| === mirco_ is now known as mirco | ||
| BKTech86 | now i can boot that linux partition and the grub menu comes up just the same as before i can choose windows7 or ubuntu but not the windowsxp partition on the other drive | 06:53 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: at the end of all this remapping if i can get it to work right, will i ever be able to mount the raid0 drive? | 06:53 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Replace /dev/sdd in the commands with /dev/sda. | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Yes. | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: What happens when you restore the boot flag to the XP partition? | 06:54 |
| BKTech86 | i get that bootmgr missing error i told u about | 06:55 |
| BKTech86 | now if i take it away, grub will come up | 06:55 |
| BKTech86 | im in live cd right now | 06:55 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | BKTech86 | 06:55 |
| ubottu | BKTech86: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 06:55 |

| FriGiN | Jordan_U: just as a Q, the previous dialog box had information pertaining to installing grub to all drives, is that such a bad idea in this case? | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Make sure sda is the first in the boot priority or install grub to sdb and sdc as well. | 06:59 |
| _adrian_ | hi | 06:59 |
| BKTech86 | Jordan_U: make sure how | 07:00 |
| BKTech86 | oh in bios? it is | 07:00 |
| Jack87 | oh boy.. i need some support via networking in linux | 07:00 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Normally it would be a good idea. With Fakeraid it is not a good idea. | 07:00 |
| BKTech86 | Jordan_U: do you know what boot-sector type is? | 07:00 |
| Jack87 | i feel bad because im sure this question has been beat to death by now with all the mobile devices and tablet pcs out there | 07:00 |
| Jack87 | but i want ot be able to broadcast wifi access point from laptop for tablet to connect to | 07:01 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: ok, also it shows a 2nd line "- /dev/sda5 (118924 MB; /)" | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: The symptoms + boot info script output suggest otherwise. I'm betting if you select sda in a one time boot menu grub will load no matter what boot flags are where. | 07:01 |
| Jack87 | not quit sure where to start. any advice would be great | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Do not select that. Select only sda then continue. | 07:01 |
| BKTech86 | Jordan_U: ok but i already did that and i'm telling you it's not the case | 07:01 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: thx. | 07:01 |

| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Sometimes some drives take longer to spin up or otherwise be recognised, that's why I mentioned a one time boot menu rather than just boot priority. | 07:03 |
| pratz | tux_: i have plugged in usb , how do i find the usb device name ?? | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Try booting from sda. | 07:03 |
| BKTech86 | what do you mean a one time boot menu | 07:03 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: ok on my way. | 07:04 |
| pratz | how do i find the usb device name which is plugged in ?? | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: Most BIOSs will show a message like "press F8 for a one time boot menu" (where F8 might be some other key) which will list all drives and allow you to select one to boot without changing the boot priority permanently. | 07:04 |
| BKTech86 | my bios doesnt have that option on my desktop | 07:05 |
| BKTech86 | my script says windows is installed in the mbr of sdb | 07:05 |
| BKTech86 | what exactly does that mean | 07:06 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: It means that the mbr of that drive contains Microsoft code which will search for the first active partition and load the code from the first sector of that partition. | 07:07 |
| sam1234 | hei guys/gals i installed latest NVIDIA driver on my acer laptop. but it giving me device not found error. what could be da wrong ? | 07:07 |
| BKTech86 | so how does that tie into my grub installation on sda5 | 07:08 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: restarted str8 to win7 | 07:08 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: happy to muck about this another time. | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | FriGiN: Be sure your BIOS is actually booting from sda (which could be numbered differently in the BIOS, go by size /brand information). | 07:08 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: 95% sure. will check. | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | BKTech86: If your BIOS were booting sda it would make no difference at all | 07:09 |

| astraljava | Rouse: `sudo ./filename.sh`, but are you sure what you're doing? | 07:18 |
| astraljava | Rouse: That might be a dangerous command. | 07:18 |
| astraljava | Rouse: Be absolutely sure what the script is doing, in order to not mess up your system. | 07:18 |

| Rouse | how to correct it | 07:19 |
| fairuz | Rouse: Make sure the .sh file is in the current directory | 07:20 |
| wabznasm | Rouse: you got a space between ./ and filename? should be sudo ./filename.sh | 07:20 |

| pratz_ | i have to replace "sdbX" with my usb device name | 07:21 |
| wabznasm | Rouse: didn't you say it was filename.sh? | 07:21 |
| astraljava | Rouse: Does the file have execute permissions? If not, then `chmod +x filename.sh` | 07:21 |
| BKTech86 | there is a utility to make a usb stick | 07:21 |
| Rouse | yeah exactly | 07:21 |
| BKTech86 | pratz just go to system, administration, startupdisk creator | 07:21 |

| crackerjackz | Charybdis, not yet.. im about to put a windows cd in and see if it detects the partitions | 08:19 |
| Charybdis | HAWK_: It's part of the loadup. If you read what the screen read as you are booting up the Win XP install CD/DVD, you'll see that it asks if you need to install any specific drivers. | 08:19 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Just for shits/grins, how about you shut down the system and physically disconnect the power and data cables to the physical drive, then reconnect them. | 08:20 |
| mrprise | how can I add more resolution to that list? | 08:20 |
| plouffe | mrprise, try #vbox | 08:20 |
| HAWK_ | i have no system installed on that one, xp, im trying to install theos and it tells me there are no hard drives, there are i can see them | 08:20 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i already did that | 08:20 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Ok. Again, I don't know what steps you've gone through, so please bear with me. | 08:21 |
| Charybdis | HAWK_: I understand. As I said, it's part of the install process, not the post install. | 08:21 |

| Charybdis | crackerjackz: What were you doing just before this occurred? | 08:22 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i was installing ubuntu using wubi.. it asked me to reboot my computer so i did. when it rebooted it gave me this error. | 08:22 |
| crackerjackz | invalid file system | 08:22 |
| crackerjackz | grub rescue > | 08:22 |
| crackerjackz | the windows cd detects a partition.. i'm running the recovery console | 08:23 |
| crackerjackz | it only detects 1 partition though | 08:23 |
| Charybdis | Ah. | 08:23 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: What was installed prior to that? | 08:23 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, windows, linux, and another NTFS partition with music and what not on it | 08:24 |
| Charybdis | Ok. | 08:24 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i wanted to reinstall linux.. i formtted the linux partition then used wubi to reinstall it | 08:24 |
| Charybdis | I'm not familiar with wubi, is that the ubuntu on thumbdrive tool? | 08:25 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: IS the drive an SATA or PATA/IDE? | 08:26 |
| bullgard4 | What is the use of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user.keystore.3APUWV in my Natty computer? (It is empty.) | 08:26 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, it allows you to install ubuntu along side windows.. but you run wubi while booted into windows | 08:26 |
| goshawk | Charybdis, wubi is ubuntu on windows | 08:26 |
| Charybdis | Ah. | 08:26 |
| Charybdis | That's why I've never heard of it. I don't run Windows. LOL. | 08:26 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: What version of Windows was installed before this happened? | 08:27 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, windows xp home | 08:27 |
| eddiemonge | if i setup a git user and set that users shell to /usr/bin/git-shell, why do i keep getting fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled? | 08:28 |

| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Ok, let's take this from the top. When you take out the thumb drive and boot the computer from a powered off state, what happens? | 08:28 |
| bullgard4 | llutz: Even though these files are empty? | 08:29 |
| Charybdis | odix: You sound like me. LOL. | 08:29 |
| crackerjackz | it says invalid file system then i get a prompt that says | 08:29 |

| eddiemonge | ikonia_ is /etc/shells a script? | 08:30 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Let's reset your MBR back to a bootable state then. If you are getting a grub error without the thumb drive in, then I think I know what's going on. I deal with this all the time in Ubuntu installs. | 08:30 |

| bullgard4 | llutz: Thank you. | 08:31 |
| Charybdis | Although, I didn't think there was a recovery console included with the Home edition of XP. | 08:32 |
| Charybdis | I thought that was only with XP Pro. | 08:32 |
| eddiemonge | ikonia: what is it supposed to be? i see /etc/shells but it says its not a folder. do i just use that as the shell prompt? | 08:32 |
| ikonia | eddiemonge: open it and view the contents of the file | 08:32 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, it has a recovery console | 08:33 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Then go ahead and run fixboot and fixmbr | 08:33 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: That should get you back into Windows. | 08:33 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, it was the admin password but there is no password i leave i blank but it says invalid lol | 08:34 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Ok. | 08:34 |
| eddiemonge | ikonia: /usr/bin/git-shell is not in there. how do i enable it? adding it doesnt seem to change anyting | 08:34 |
| odix | copying dd 7 times at once...anybody see a prob with that? 500 gig img to 7 hds at once ? | 08:34 |
| odix | 16gig of ram ? | 08:34 |
| ikonia | eddiemonge: for a shell to be classed as a "login" shell, it needs to be in that file | 08:35 |
| gry | odix, copy serial, not in parallel, that usually is faster overall | 08:35 |
| odix | hmm | 08:35 |
| odix | to late | 08:35 |
| odix | your right tho | 08:36 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, it won't let me use the recovery console because it says i have the wrong admin password | 08:36 |
| eddiemonge | ikonia: hmm then how do i set git-shell? all the tutorials seem to imply that it just works | 08:36 |

| eddiemonge | ikonia: it was just there. maybe from doing aptitude install git git-core | 08:39 |
| ikonia | HAWK_: you've either not installed 64bit, or you've pointed grub at an old 32bit | 08:39 |

| crackerjackz | Charybdis, my thumbdrive is 512 mb | 08:41 |
| gry | tim_desta: I see your question, I'm not sure why it's happening. I think you should be able to try to find a relevant part of system log on your system. | 08:41 |
| ikonia | HAWK_: if you want | 08:42 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i have no blank cds/dvds | 08:42 |
| ikonia | eddiemonge: ok - so the good news is, you know it's a limitation of the shell in it's current state, not a problem with it not being a login shell | 08:42 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Either you need to find a blank, or you'll lose your data. What's the deal with the internet? | 08:42 |

| Charybdis | HAWK_: Linux sees usb drives the same as installed disks. If you have only one installed disk, it should be /dev/sda. Then your USB drive should be /dev/sdb | 08:43 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i dont know, still trying to figure out whats wrong with the net | 08:43 |
| ikonia | eddiemonge: ok, google shows a few patch submits on git-help - the problem appears to be that the "COMMAND" directory needs to be present and have write permissions on it | 08:43 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Wired or wireless? | 08:43 |
| wabznasm | ZiauddinMK: totally proprietary Adobe standard. No open source at all | 08:43 |

| crackerjackz | Charybdis, so there isn't a way to fix the MBR from linux? | 08:55 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Yes, but I'm not familiar enough with grub to be able to point the way. I have used lilo for so long, I got used to it. | 08:56 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, do i need internet on the desktop to do it | 08:56 |
| Charybdis | However, if DSL isn't seeing the drive at all, then it won't matter, because you can't write to a boot record you can't even see. | 08:56 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: The only thing you'd need internet for is to download a different distro. | 08:57 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, cat /proc/partitions list sda and sda1... sda1 is my flash drive | 08:58 |
| kubanc | is there any application for IP webcam, I already tried zoneminder and motion, but none of them works. My IP camera works in browser | 08:58 |
| crackerjackz | do you think sda is where the mbr is? | 08:58 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: NO! | 08:58 |
| kaellandesktop | what to type in terminal to get that disk untility thingy just to look up the partetitions on a disk? | 08:58 |
| crackerjackz | its 503808 blocks.. what is that partition i wonder | 08:58 |
| Charybdis | /dev/sda1 is the first logical drive on drive /dev/sda | 08:58 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: In otherwords, it's the first partition on drive sda | 08:58 |
| Charybdis | So if /dev/sda1 is your usb drive, then /dev/sda is the physical drive it's on. | 08:59 |
| crackerjackz | ahhh i see | 08:59 |
| crackerjackz | well i have an idea... | 08:59 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Or rather, /dev/sda is the thumbdrive... and /dev/sda1 is the first partition on it. | 08:59 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, when it i boot the computer up with out the flash drive it says grub rescue> and there are commands that i can type.. anything i could do from there maybe? | 09:01 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Possibly, but I don't know grub well enough to give you advice. | 09:02 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: What's happened, is that the drive is looking for the boot info from your thumb drive, instead of from the hard drive. | 09:02 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: That sometimes happens when you do a soft reboot instead of doing a hard shutdown then startup. | 09:02 |
| xubuntu-noob | Hey who can inform me well on Likewise ? I'm crawling forums, and it looks like I should just forget it since I have ubuntu>lucid_lynx. Can someone confirm ? | 09:03 |

| crackerjackz | Charybdis, thanks for helping me | 09:16 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: My pleasure. Have a good one. And enjoy!!! :) | 09:16 |
| crackerjackz | i still wonder how that 4th partition got there | 09:17 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: No telling, and without playing with the software to see if I could recreate the error, I won't even theorize. | 09:18 |
| Charybdis | :) | 09:18 |
| folivora | HAWK_: It seems that either your username / password is wrong. You can try accessing straight from tty1, ctrl+alt+F1 and then try to access with your username... or even straight with root account | 09:18 |

| ph8 | Hi all, i have two near identical ubuntu systems, both have the same snmp config file - i can snmpwalk one and not the other. On both boxes iptables --list returns no rules, is there some other thing i might check for firewall rules or network restrictions? Similarly both boxes have identical /etc/network/interfaces (apart from the ip address of course) | 09:19 |
| HAWK_ | it has "cardamom login: " there also | 09:19 |
| crackerjackz | wubi only allows you a max of 30 gb for the ubuntu partition... i wonder what it did with the other 46 gb... | 09:19 |
| romeus | actionParsnip: I got part of it fixed with exo-preferred-applications | 09:19 |
| HackNewton | hi | 09:19 |
| crackerjackz | i wanted to use the whole 76gb for the ubuntu partition | 09:19 |
| gry | Hi. | 09:20 |
| crackerjackz | but it wouldnt let me | 09:20 |
| gry | crackerjackz, why? | 09:21 |
| crackerjackz | gry, why what/ | 09:21 |
| gry | crackerjackz: Wouldn't it let you. | 09:21 |
| sam1234 | any one can help me regarding device not found error | 09:21 |
| actionParsnip | !details | sam1234 | 09:22 |
| ubottu | sam1234: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:22 |
| romankrv | Hi. I try use command POST in terminal. I type in terminal: POST URL="http://example.com/o1", PAYLOAD="p1=1&p2=2&p3=3" but I get responce in terminal: """ Please enter content (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) to be POSTed """ my question is what need to type for it that POST cimmand is running? | 09:22 |
| crackerjackz | gry, because wubi only lets you go up to 30 gb for some reason.. its a gui and has a drop down menu.. it doesn't let you custom define it for some reason | 09:22 |
| crackerjackz | and the only reason i used wubi was because i dont have a blank cd or a thumb drive with enough space | 09:23 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Understood. | 09:23 |
| sam1234 | ok <ubottu > im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS | 09:24 |
| sam1234 | Release: 10.04 | 09:24 |
| sam1234 | my VGA card is GT 540M | 09:24 |
| sam1234 | hear is my error log http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc | 09:24 |
| gry | crackerjackz: then dualboot. | 09:24 |
| crackerjackz | gry, i was before... but i decided to reinstall linux because it was so messed up i couldnt get it working.. i figured it would be less time consuming to just reinstall it rather than trying to figure out how to fix it | 09:26 |
| sam1234 | im running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Release: 10.04 my VGA card is GT 540M. after i install nvidia official driver x server wont start. It give me device not found error. this is the error log for ur reference. http://pastebin.com/vs0wCKLc | 09:26 |
| gry | crackerjackz: that doesn't mean you can't dualboot by now | 09:27 |
| crackerjackz | gry, i am... but i'm getting rid of windows i think | 09:27 |
| gry | crackerjackz: make sure you have backups. just in case you have inportand documents in there. | 09:27 |
| crackerjackz | i might try reactos | 09:27 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Why? | 09:27 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: you may need natty, or a PPA. The driver in the Lucid repos is a bit old for your newer hardware | 09:27 |
| gry | crackerjackz: it's alpha; not for everyday use. | 09:28 |
| actionParsnip | !info nvidia-current lucid | 09:28 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library. In component restricted, is optional. Version 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 (lucid), package size 22757 kB, installed size 70860 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) | 09:28 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: I keep Windows 7 installed along side Linux, I just never use it. When I need Windows, I run Windows XP via VMWare, and viola, the ease of windows with the stability of Linux. :) | 09:28 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: lucid only has the 195 driver, you will need the 270 driver in Natty. Both Natty and Lucid desktop support ends at the same time | 09:28 |
| sam1234 | <actionParsnip> thanks for ur comment. Could u please guide me how to find the latest one ? | 09:29 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: why use Lucid? | 09:30 |
| aaronds | Hi, using chmod, how can I restore a file or folder to its default settings? | 09:30 |
| sam1234 | <actionParsnip> i have no idea. i just installed the latest driver from the nvidia side. | 09:30 |
| gry | aaronds: you need to know the default settings yourself for that. | 09:30 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, can you make any sense of this? http://pastebin.com/SzvYp7Xu | 09:30 |
| gry | !permissions | 09:30 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 09:30 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: go to www.ubuntu.com and download Natty and install it | 09:30 |
| gry | aaronds: see what ubottu said, please. | 09:31 |
| actionParsnip | aaronds: restore from backup | 09:31 |
| th^^ | 'umask' tells you the "default" =) | 09:31 |
| tux_ | kaellan | 09:31 |
| sam1234 | actionParsni: if u dont mind what is stand for natty ? | 09:31 |
| actionParsnip | aaronds: or if you wrote down the permissions, just re-apply the old attributes | 09:31 |
| gry | ty th^^ | 09:31 |
| actionParsnip | !11.04 | sam1234 | 09:31 |
| ubottu | sam1234: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 09:31 |
| aaronds | actionParsnip, all I'm looking for is the number used when a new file is created. | 09:32 |
| actionParsnip | aaronds: which file is it/ | 09:32 |
| aaronds | actionParsnip, say I right click -> create new folder, what chmod rules are applied to that file by default? | 09:33 |
| naxa | hi! i have 10.04 and having problems with my nvidia geforce 6200: cpu usage is very high by xorg, compiz enabled. previously i had geforce2 so and i also tried the binary drivers from nvidia site, could anyone help me sort this out so i could properly reinstall my drivers, not ubuntu? (i have already purged nvidia* and installed nvidia-current what first caused conflict with the kernel modules somehow and also some warning about vdpau) | 09:33 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, i think since i had 3 partitions all together... the partition i wanted to install ubuntu on was 76 GB but wubi would only let me use 30 for the ubuntu install.. so i'm guessing it took the other half and made it an extended partition.. | 09:33 |
| crackerjackz | so it created 2 extra partitions | 09:33 |
| sam1234 | <actionParsnip> and <ubott> thx lot for the advices. | 09:33 |
| actionParsnip | aaronds: drwxrwxr-x $USER $USER | 09:33 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Possible. | 09:33 |
| Charybdis | crackerjackz: Or it may have been creating the 4th partition for swap. | 09:34 |
| aaronds | actionParsnip, how can I apply those permissions with chmod? | 09:34 |
| szal | naxa: first properly uninstall the binary nVidia driver -> 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall' | 09:34 |
| Charybdis | aarcane: That's chmod 775 | 09:34 |
| sam1234 | <actionParsni> is it possible to upgrade lucid to natty ? im uding BT5 | 09:34 |
| actionParsnip | aaronds: chmod 775 | 09:35 |
| szal | !tab | sam1234 | 09:35 |
| ubottu | sam1234: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 09:35 |
| crackerjackz | Charybdis, maybe but i wonder why it tried to boot from that one partition that was like 2gb i deleted it.. then it booted | 09:35 |
| aaronds | thank you actionParsnip | 09:35 |
| naxa | szal, okay let me see | 09:35 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: bactrack isnt supported here in any way | 09:35 |
| sam1234 | oh thx for that hint szal | 09:35 |
| actionParsnip | !backtrack | sam1234 | 09:35 |
| ubottu | sam1234: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 09:35 |
| sam1234 | yes actionParsnip | 09:36 |
| aaronds | actionParsnip, one last question, is it the same rule for newly created files? (i.e a text file or html file) | 09:36 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: i suggest you join the channel for your distro.Backtrack is offtopic here | 09:36 |
| sam1234 | ok thank you all of u guys for the help | 09:37 |
| sam1234 | :) | 09:37 |
| sam1234 | really appericiate it | 09:37 |
| keene | hihi | 09:37 |
| folivora | HAWK_: cardamom <- is your hostname. So use your own account or root account to login. In any case you will need to enter username and password :) | 09:39 |
| actionParsnip | folivora: root login won't work ;) | 09:39 |
| folivora | actionParsnip: How come ? | 09:41 |
| actionParsnip | folivora: the account is disabled | 09:41 |
| HackNewton | Can anybody tell me how can i access yahoo messenger through Ubuntu ? (i did not mean multiple messenger ) | 09:41 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, pidgin | 09:41 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, sudo apt-get install pidgin | 09:41 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, i told before not multi messenger | 09:42 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: gyache | 09:42 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, I need to access yahoo messenger itself | 09:42 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, oh i dunno.. maybe you can run yahoo through wine or something | 09:42 |
| folivora | actionParsnip: so root account is disable, then I would try to use single-user mode ... | 09:42 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, you can cam with yahoo users via meebo.com | 09:42 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, wine dont work smooth | 09:42 |
| actionParsnip | folivora: if you hold shift at boot and select root recovery mode, yes | 09:42 |
| folivora | Yeå | 09:43 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: works sweet here with postal 2 :) | 09:43 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, not sure how well itll work though since it uses flash | 09:43 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, i want to access yahoo chat rooms | 09:43 |
| folivora | Just thought that he had foregotten pw or the useracc was corrupted. | 09:43 |
| HackNewton | SO anyone have any solution over it ? | 09:44 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, i think you can get on yahoo chats with gaim but im not sure if it supports video | 09:45 |
| HackNewton | I tried wine and meebo didnt solve my problem | 09:45 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: gyache | 09:45 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, well thats only thing i didnt tried yet so better use it | 09:45 |
| HackNewton | actionParsnip, but can i access yahoo chat room | 09:45 |
| crackerjackz | HackNewton, looks like something here called gyach allows you to use your cam with yahoo but not sure if it supports yahoo chat | 09:46 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: yes, it also does voice and cam. Check it out | 09:46 |
| sam1234 | for ur reference i found answer for my issue. hence i have optimus they said im loose, nvidia not support optimus with ubuntu | 09:46 |
| crackerjackz | gyache | 09:46 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: you aren't using ubuntu | 09:46 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: you are using backtrack | 09:46 |
| sam1234 | actionParsnip, isnt it based on ubuntu ? | 09:47 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: ubuntu is based on debian, but I wouldn't say I was using debian. I'm using ubuntu | 09:47 |
| Charybdis | sam1234: Just because something is based on something else, does not make it backwards compatible. | 09:47 |
| HackNewton | actionParsnip, nice point :D | 09:48 |
| sam1234 | actionParsnip, ok i got it | 09:48 |
| actionParsnip | sam1234: backtrack is another spin on Ubuntu, ONLY canonical releases are supported here. This includes but isn't restricted to backtrack | 09:48 |
| newgen | hi there again. i have a problem with grub ans my luks encrypted / . grub install says: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/sda4_crypt. Check your device.map . any ideas? | 09:49 |

| buz_ | hi, i had to remove one harddisk from a software raid1, an now the raid is inactive, and i can't get it active. /proc/mdstat says "md_d0 : inactive sdb1[0](S)" | 09:49 |
| HackNewton | actionParsnip, hay can you tell me command for getting gyache | 09:49 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: there is a ppa you can find easily | 09:50 |
| crackerjackz | !gyache | 09:52 |
| newgen | buz_, i think there was a command like mdadm to set it active... | 09:52 |
| crackerjackz | !ubotu gyachi | 09:52 |
| szal | !info gyache | 09:52 |
| actionParsnip | crackerjackz: its not in the repos | 09:52 |
| ubottu | Package gyache does not exist in natty | 09:53 |
| HackNewton | crackerjackz, seems like there is no record on gyachi | 09:53 |

| buz_ | newgen: the command is mdadm -A /dev/md_d0, but all i get ist a "mdadm: /dev/md_d0 not identified in config file." | 09:53 |
| HackNewton | i found but it is failing with 404 error | 09:53 |
| CMoH-office | hey. how can i install qt4.7 for development on lucid (i.e. i don't want to upgrade off lts version) | 09:54 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: did you run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adilson/experimental; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install gyachi | 09:54 |
| newgen | buz_, how about "mdadm -A -s --no-degraded" | 09:54 |
| HackNewton | actionParsnip, yes | 09:54 |
| actionParsnip | HackNewton: then I'd contact the ppa maintae ppa maintainer, you can always compile it yourself | 09:55 |

| Baribal | Hi. I tried adding an existing user to an existing group, following the example at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ which says I should "useradd -a -G sudo sh", which results in "useradd: invalid option -- 'a'". So, what should I *actually* do? | 10:05 |
| crackerjackz | is screenie the same thing as gnu screen... one person runs screen from a terminal.. then the other person can attach to the session and the person can watch what they are doing in your shell... | 10:06 |
| actionParsnip | Baribal: are you trying to give a user admin access (sudo usage etc) | 10:07 |
| servet_akbell | i use the latest version of pidgin. can i change my pidgin's user agent on windows and ubuntu ? or someone knows a crossplatrofm program which can change user agent ? | 10:07 |
| Baribal | actionParsnip, yes. | 10:07 |

| buz_ | newgen: here you go -> http://pastebin.com/D4VaCHSD | 10:08 |
| Baribal | actionParsnip, actually, I'm not to sure about the "etc" part, and I have to admit, it's a Debian system, not an Ubuntu (I came here 'cause I *usually* use Ubuntu...), so, usually, you'd be right with that hint, but the point here isn't best practices of administration, it really is the actual unix command. | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Baribal: take it to #debian please. | 10:09 |

| AFD | I did a server reboot after installing ubuntu-desktop for NXserver sessions and the encrypted disk won't come back up... error I get at boot is "unknown error setting up device mapping" | 10:43 |
| newgen | AFD, welcome in my personal hell | 10:44 |
| AFD | newgen hi | 10:44 |
| AFD | newgen you know your way around? | 10:44 |
| newgen | AFD, i updated from ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 and it killed my grub including the device.map in /boot/grub/ | 10:45 |
| newgen | AFD, but i spent currently 8 hours and have still no solution | 10:45 |
| AFD | I don't think I'm on 11.04 as the server was 10.04 and I think I kept it that way | 10:45 |
| newgen | AFD, better do not try to update. it will make things worse | 10:46 |
| newgen | AFD, does your /boot/grub/device.map look ok? | 10:47 |
| blunderblast | morning anyone around this early? | 10:48 |
| newgen | if you are lucky, you can use a live cd, open the crypto filesystem with "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdX devicehandle" and run fsck on /dev/mapper/devicehandle | 10:48 |
| AFD | I'm looking for that not | 10:48 |
| FstabUsers | what should i typein /etc/fstab so just users from group sambausers can mount a shared folder? | 10:49 |
| blunderblast | early for me I think | 10:49 |
| FstabUsers | any help plz? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: the option in the file is "users" | 10:50 |
| blunderblast | I'm brand new to Ubuntu and having the toughest time getting it up and running, with the livecd version everything goes great, but when I install and run from the drive, nothing happens at all | 10:51 |
| ikonia | blunderblast: what do you mean "nothing happens" | 10:51 |
| Squall5668 | well, blunderblast, something must happen. Anything at all | 10:52 |
| ikonia | blunderblast: you need to explain the problem, or thats like me saying "do something to fix it" | 10:52 |
| blunderblast | guess I should be a bit more specific..sorry..I'm still half asleep | 10:52 |
| FstabUsers | ikonia: gid=users ? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: no, the option is juse "users" | 10:53 |
| especially-corn | can anyone tell me what package do i need to install so CTRL+left or right will jump a word? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | just | 10:53 |
| especially-corn | inside a terminal | 10:53 |
| FstabUsers | and where should i specigy the group? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: it's not a group | 10:54 |
| AFD | newgen I have an Ubuntu server CD and am trying the "rescue" option... fingers crossed | 10:54 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: listen, if you want non-root users to be able to mount a disk, the option is "users" in fstab | 10:54 |
| newgen | AFD, i really hope you can fix it with the fsck. because my problem is very persistent and noone seems to know the solution.... | 10:55 |
| AFD | newgen do you know if the server CD will boot to a live session? | 10:55 |
| blunderblast | I boot from the HD, get the login/pwd screen, I login then...the wallpaper appears and then that's it..no keyboard input allowed or mouse input | 10:55 |
| newgen | AFD, not sure... | 10:56 |
| tyler-allen | I dont belive the server vesion boots ot a live session, sorry. | 10:56 |
| FstabUsers | look what i got....i have share1 share2 and user1 user2 and user3 // share1 should be mounted, unmounted and written by all users. share2 should only be used by user1 and user2. | 10:56 |
| blunderblast | and nothing else on the screen but the wallpaper, no submens, etc | 10:56 |
| obert | but really..are you really get Quassel gui intuitive at its usage? hmm | 10:56 |
| newgen | AFD, all you need is a console where you can enter the commands | 10:56 |
| Squall5668 | blunderblast: are you running 11.04? try the classic option, see if that works for a start | 10:57 |
| AFD | yeah - I've got a borne shell atm | 10:57 |
| ikonia | I doubt you've got a bourne shell | 10:57 |
| AFD | busybox 1.13 | 10:57 |
| ikonia | you've most likley got bash or dash | 10:57 |
| AFD | that's what it told me | 10:57 |
| FstabUsers | ikonia: look what i got....i have share1 share2 and user1 user2 and user3 // share1 should be mounted, unmounted and written by all users. share2 should only be used by user1 and user2. | 10:57 |
| AFD | it doesn't know what fsck or sudo is tho :( | 10:57 |
| ikonia | busy box isn't your system | 10:57 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: ok - so that's file system permissions, thats nothing to do with fstav | 10:57 |
| lalejand_ | Hi, I'm trying to configure a cisco vpn connexion with network-manager but I cant' make it work. Someone can help me ? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | AFD: no, it won't it's a busy box environment, you need to be in your system or a live environment | 10:58 |
| AFD | I can ls -a and see the RAMdisk | 10:58 |
| AFD | bin dev init etc there | 10:58 |
| ikonia | that is useles | 10:59 |
| FstabUsers | ikonia: what do you suggest then? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | FstabUsers: you set the permissions on the target file system and on the local users/groups | 10:59 |
| newgen | AFD, the busy box is quite useless to repair the system | 10:59 |
| AFD | can't find anything in media or mnt though... | 10:59 |
| AFD | newgen ok thanks... I'll try another approach | 11:00 |

| newgen | AFD, enter "cryptsetup" and check if the command exists | 11:01 |
| AFD | yep :D | 11:01 |
| AFD | newgen what should I do with it? | 11:02 |

| MrEgg964 | Hey guys - I'm looking to build a Ubuntu samba server that would serve up to 100 users. What kind of cpu/ram should I go for? Do I need a rig that could melt down Greenland, or can I go for something more reasonable? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | MrEgg964: depends on a lot of things, do a sizing exercise | 11:03 |
| AFD | newgen can you repeat that for me please | 11:04 |
| newgen | AFD, ok. cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/yourcrypt somename | 11:04 |
| newgen | AFD, then "mount /dev/mapper/somename /mnt" | 11:04 |
| AFD | and what would the 'yourcrypt' be? the sda1? | 11:05 |
| SwedeMike | MrEgg964: if they're just going to do light fileserver interaction basically any box will do, but if you want it to serve multiple gigabits/s of data continously, then it's another deal | 11:05 |
| siddharthasahu | @nightrid3r: could you please tell the exact command?? | 11:05 |
| Baribal | MrEgg964, sounds to me like the number of users would be less relevant than the traffic they're causing. A company SVN server could be a rather modest box, but a HDTV streamer... Well, not. | 11:05 |
| newgen | AFD, try sda1 | 11:05 |
| newgen | AFD, if it does not work, increment... one will work and ask for the password... i hope you used a password and not a key | 11:06 |
| AFD | sda3 access denied | 11:06 |
| Joupi | lalejand, are you there ? | 11:06 |
| AFD | and I can't sudo it | 11:06 |

| pratz | hey guys just a suggestion, which is the best project management and bug tracking system ?? I am going with trac, if you know any other than trac please do comment | 11:07 |
| newgen | AFD, "fdisk -l /dev/sda" will tell you which partitions you have | 11:08 |
| AFD | fdisk not found | 11:08 |
| ikonia | it's busy box | 11:08 |
| Squall5668 | preatz: you can try bugzilla for tickets only, but it won't connect to SVN, i actually prefer trac myself | 11:08 |
| Anakin_n | apt get install fdisk :P | 11:08 |
| ikonia | no | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Anakin_n: please don't give out comments you don't understand | 11:09 |
| Anakin_n | ikonia, yes sir/madam | 11:09 |
| Squall5668 | pratz: sorry misspelled your name, check my previous message | 11:09 |
| newgen | ikonia, it seems, busybox is not even worth trying, eh? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | newgen: no | 11:09 |
| AFD | ikonia can I do a checkdisk from busybox? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | AFD: check disk is a windows program | 11:09 |
| newgen | AFD, the command would be called "fsck" | 11:10 |
| pratz | Squall5668: thanks dude, even i think trac is more that sufficient | 11:10 |
| newgen | AFD, but it can only be used if you open the crypto partition with cryptsetup | 11:10 |
| Squall5668 | pratz: yes its a great tool, now, if it didn't also break down so easily if you customise it... but that's another story :) | 11:11 |

| Squall5668 | it can't | 11:35 |
| thesheff17 | direct x is for windows | 11:35 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, you can use simple file permissions, e.g. sd devices are in group "disk", so just add your users to that | 11:36 |

| Anakin_n | Squall5668, i need fps, graphic rendering and test games on high-rez/details | 11:36 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, add 'user' option to fstab entry | 11:36 |
| FstabUsers | but if a share is not automounted....will a user be able to remount it without rebooting? | 11:37 |
| Anakin_n | then i not need to look technologies DX10 and DX11 , when choice a new card for ubuntu ? | 11:37 |
| Squall5668 | Anakin_n you can never, ever run directX in ubuntu, or any linux distro for that matter. Even directx9 barely works in Wine. I so wish someone can slap and correct me right now though | 11:38 |
| === Jack87 is now known as Jack87|Away | ||
| thesheff17 | Anakin_n: allot of games don't work on linux. I would search google for just for linux gaming and you will see the small subset that work. Many times they are running through wine which is like a windows emulation program. Of course you can display FSP with linux. | 11:38 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, that fstab perm should make it irrelevant whether it's automounted or not. | 11:38 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, test it | 11:38 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, if you're trying to automount a specific share, relative to the logged in user, that's a different exercise | 11:39 |
| FstabUsers | i got share1 share2 and user1 user2 user3. share1 should be automounted and remounted anytime by all users. share2 should be only automounted and remounted anytime by user1 and user2. that's what i'm trying to achieve. | 11:40 |

| ppetraki | FstabUsers, so you're really just extending this example to include the ACLs your after. So for user1 and user2 you should probably make a group for them, and use that as the "group=" constraint in fstab. That should achieve the desired affect you're after. | 11:46 |

| samroar | hi | 11:48 |
| wh1zz0 | Got a little problem and would appreciate any help. I am connected via lan i.e eth0 but would like to share my internet to other users via some kind of ad-hoc.. So my windows box can connect to my network wirelessly. I tried turning on sharing on the wired section but that does not work. | 11:48 |
| Anakin_n | thesheff17, there is a lot of 3d modeling products direct for linux like Art of Illusion, Blender K-3D, POV-Ray, Radiance, YafRay | 11:48 |

| AlexDevilLX | mgolisch: I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, but after installing evolution it doesnt hide to mail indicator like pidgin | 11:58 |
| SwedeMike | mbenke: why do you set 2048 as blocksize? I usually go for around 1 meg. 2048 sounds small. | 11:59 |
| mgolisch | AlexDevilLX: it probably does not do that | 11:59 |
| AlexDevilLX | mgolisch: How to fix it | 11:59 |
| mbenke | SwedeMike try to fit actual blocksize, avoid unnecessary buffering | 11:59 |

| meisth0th | i am trying to install ubuntu on my friend's laptop | 12:08 |
| th^^ | Phosphate: then go to system settings -> compizconfig manager, search for 'unity', there's plugin for unity, there you can disable autohiding, change panel size, etc | 12:08 |
| Boon | searched not found | 12:08 |
| meisth0th | he has ati radeon mobility 4650 graphics card | 12:09 |

| FstabUsers | ppetraki: fstab is not responding as it should...i have //172.16.0.100/T /media/T smbfs user=sampleuser,password=samplepassword,gid=samplegroup. user1 is not in samplegroup, but user1 can mount this. How come? | 12:10 |
| meisth0th | what driver should he use? will he have any performance issues? | 12:10 |
| Boon | FstabUsers: can you help me? | 12:10 |
| th^^ | meisth0th: that card is old enough to work ok with open driver i guess, but it'll suck for gaming | 12:11 |
| FstabUsers | if i can...whats the matteer | 12:11 |
| th^^ | meisth0th: if you want games, proprietary is the only choice, but unity has a bit worse performance with closed driver | 12:11 |
| th^^ | meisth0th: it's not too bad though, but dragging windows around etc lags more than with open, at least this is the case with my 6870 | 12:11 |
| Pici | Boon: Addressing random people isn't really the right way to ask for support here. If someone knows the answer to your question they'll reply. For your question, I'd suggest asking in #ubuntu-server as well, as its less 'desktop oriented' there. | 12:12 |
| mbenke | pbos never tried it.. have you tried update-manager -c ? | 12:12 |
| HAWK_ | mbenke> im locked into an " A> " command prompt and its asking for the name of the command interpreter? | 12:12 |
| mbenke | HAWK so you've really wiped your disk ... I have warned you it will really wipe it | 12:13 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, not sure, could be pre-existing config options defined somewhere else, or that new set of options hasn't actually taken effect | 12:13 |
| ppetraki | FstabUsers, /proc/mounts should show the exact options used. | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | hey folks | 12:13 |
| meisth0th | th^^: so i'll activate proprietary driver, this is first time he uses linux and i don't want him to have bad impression about linux | 12:13 |
| HAWK_ | no i cant get to the correct prompt to do it | 12:13 |
| th^^ | meisth0th: yeha, it should work just fine, that window dragging with compiz sucks a bit though, but it ain't unusable | 12:14 |
| mbenke | HAWK seems you have no system installed | 12:14 |

I am following this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync_p2 and I get to the end and it is still asking me for a password. Obviously I did something wrong with setting up the keys but I am not sure how to trouble shoot | 12:30 |
| alexleon | pici update the iphone ios like from 4.2 to 4.3 u know :) | 12:30 |
| UbuntuUzer | Pici: so those are all the dependencies I must download? | 12:30 |
| Pici | alexleon: There is no software for Ubuntu that will let you do that. | 12:30 |
| mattycoze | hey guys how do I use find to find files created on a specific date "18th october, 2010" in subdirectories | 12:30 |
| alexleon | oh :( | 12:30 |
| Pici | UbuntuUzer: Make sure that you put in the meta-package that you have. | 12:30 |
| UbuntuUzer | Pici: then I just do dpkg -i * for all of those dependencies? | 12:30 |
| Pici | UbuntuUzer: Yes. | 12:31 |
| Rouse | how to access the partition ... i could not create folders other than my home directory | 12:31 |
| UbuntuUzer | Pici: what is a meta package? | 12:31 |
| Rouse | i have 3 partition in my hard disk | 12:31 |
| Rouse | i can create folder in my home directory alone | 12:31 |
| CruX| | Rouse: well permissions ? | 12:31 |
| Rouse | yes | 12:32 |
| Pici | UbuntuUzer: A package that doesn't contain any data itself, but just depends on other packages. So for a desktop install, it would be ubuntu-desktop. | 12:32 |
| CruX| | and what do you want to do | 12:32 |
| rkhshm | what are the essential softwares needed to be installed on 11.04 to get flash support? I just opened a link with flash and it says download plugin | 12:32 |

| Rouse | whats the command ? | 12:35 |
| Rouse | llutz, | 12:35 |
| Pici | SkiOne: If you just ssh in (not using rsync) does it ask you for a password? | 12:35 |

| CruX| | chmod | 12:35 |
| iceroot | alexleon: q | 12:35 |
| llutz_ | Rouse: read: man chmod, man chown | 12:35 |
| iceroot | alexleon: a sorry, you want to kill a process instead of stoping top | 12:35 |
| UbuntuUzer | Pici: this thing isn't making a whole lot of sense. It is telling me I need to download a .deb, but I know those debs have dependencies. | 12:35 |

| alexleon | ok | 12:36 |
| CruX| | alexleon: k key, but htop is better | 12:36 |
| Pici | UbuntuUzer: So what did you enter in the fields? | 12:36 |
| newguy | why would the CD live version of ubuntu work on my system,,but the actual installed version won't even budge? | 12:36 |
| UbuntuUzer | Pici: for example I need to install package apache2-mpm-worker (it's one of apache2's dependencies) and the metapackage for all apache is apache2 | 12:36 |
| alexleon | htop? | 12:36 |
| alexleon | do i write htop? | 12:36 |
| Pici | UbuntuUzer: The metapackage field is for metapackages that you already have installed. | 12:37 |
| Lomex | why is this room so empty??? | 12:37 |
| UbuntuUzer | oh I have not installed any packages yet Pici , so I leave it blank right? | 12:37 |
| Pici | Lomex: 'this room' has 1,490 people in it. | 12:37 |
| Rouse | please tell me the command | 12:38 |
| newguy | no advice? | 12:38 |
| alexleon | great i did it :) | 12:38 |

| szal | Dudi: then run only 'sudo nvidia-installer --uninstall', it should revert you to the nouveau driver | 12:49 |
| alexleon | ok | 12:49 |
| dli | alexleon, type the command dmesg, or tail /var/log/syslog | 12:49 |
| Dudi | szal, ok wait.. | 12:49 |
| BluesKaj | Dudi, did you try the recommended driver in sys>admin>additional drivers ..but you need the internet , like you did when you tried that tutorial on the forums | 12:50 |
| isteve__ | anyone pls | 12:50 |
| SkiOne | Picl obviously the no-pty was why i could not ssh, but it should of worked when I rsynced | 12:50 |

| Dudi | szal, it's like "and remember do backup your data befor any actions" at the end of tutorial | 13:04 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: no, it would need a special driver letting your pc acting as a usb-networkcard for your iphone | 13:05 |
| billy2007 | llutz this is becoming a pain i can reverse tether on windows but not on ubuntu | 13:06 |

| llutz_ | billy2007: i'd check why the iphone cannot connect to your working wifi-network first | 13:08 |
| billy2007 | llutz obviously to far away | 13:08 |
| billy2007 | there HAS to be a way for my iphone to use my pcs internet somehow | 13:09 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: your pc is connected to internet only via wifi, no wire-lan? | 13:09 |
| billy2007 | llutz, thats right | 13:10 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: what wifi-chipset? you have to create something like a virtual (2nd) wifi-device, which let you connect via ad-hoc connection. i know atheros-chips could do that | 13:11 |
| olofal | o/ | 13:12 |
| billy2007 | i have a calexico2 built in and a atheros wg111t usb device | 13:13 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: so you already have 2 wifi-devices? | 13:13 |
| billy2007 | yes but my onboard one is the only one that'll pick up my network | 13:14 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: try to establish an ad-hoc to the wg111t | 13:14 |
| billy2007 | llutz, how would i do that every setting ive changed before in network manager cuts off my network | 13:15 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: iphone <-> wg111t then try to setup ip-forwarding/masquerading with your internal-wifi as WAN-iface | 13:15 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: sorry no idea how to do that with networkmanager. try using iwconfig, at least to setup the wg111t, without touching the internal | 13:17 |
| Jesdisciple | Hi. I've managed to get an uncorrupted ISO over to my Ubuntu (this computer) via a flash drive. I installed it to the hard disk with Unetbootin (frugal install) and tried to boot to it. A message flashes on the screen that something is deprecated, too quickly to read, and then I'm presented with an ash shell (I think it was called "(initrmfs)". | 13:17 |
| ehw | /win 2 | 13:17 |
| Jesdisciple | My laptop's inbuilt keyboard is broken, so Enter and some other keys don't work; meanwhile, my external keyboard isn't detected at that stage of boot. So all I can do is hard-reset the computer - but before, when I had suspected the ISO was corrupted because copies I downloaded later were so but I couldn't verify that because Unetbootin had deleted the ISO, I was able to type and entering "exit" caused a kernel panic. | 13:17 |
| ehw | urgh. | 13:17 |
| Jesdisciple | Any advice on taming Unetootin? | 13:19 |

| matt08642 | Hiya. I was wondering if making a bootable Windows XP USB stick in Ubuntu was as easy as formatting the USB as a primary FAT32 partition, then copying the CD contents to the USB??? | 13:28 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: what won't connect? the iphone or ad-hoc -> internet? | 13:28 |
| billy2007 | the usb stick wont connect to the network i make | 13:29 |
| billy2007 | but the onboard will | 13:29 |
| ChogyDan | matt08642: I think you need the right files on there for it to be bootable | 13:29 |
| quem | i got a problem with hdparm.. i can set -S to anything but 0. | 13:29 |
| quem | and i really want it to never spindown. | 13:29 |
| venol | helo, I have problem with mailgraph, anyone can help me.why mailgraph count sent message as receive message ? thanks for your help. | 13:29 |
| matt08642 | @ChogyDan Do you happen to know what the right files I need are?? | 13:29 |
| billy2007 | venol, corrupt file maybe try to reinstall it | 13:30 |
| ChogyDan | matt08642: are you trying to make a windows boot? You would have to ask windows folks for that | 13:30 |
| compdoc | wasanzy_, what browser are you using? | 13:31 |
| billy2007 | llutz, the usb stick wont connect to the network i make but the onboard will | 13:31 |
| cantor | can anyone help with the disk encryption done at installation? | 13:31 |
| matt08642 | @ChogyDan: Yeah, I am. Problem is, all the sites I am looking at show you how to make the bootable USB from inside windows, which is useless to me as I already have Ubuntu | 13:31 |
| matt08642 | lol | 13:31 |
| matt08642 | oh well, I'll look around. Thanks! | 13:31 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: does the usb-stick work unter linux at all? | 13:31 |
| billy2007 | yes i have ndiswraper and it detects other wireless networks | 13:32 |
| llutz_ | billy2007: sorry no idea what to do | 13:32 |
| venol | billy2007: I think so, and I'm reinstall mailgraph. But the problem still same. Hmm, how about log_level of postfix or amavisd ? Because Mailgraph update rrd database use log file | 13:32 |

| compdoc | wasanzy_, Ive seen using the wrong browser causing problems because it requires java to work properly, but I have no idea what that error means | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | cantor: im not sure you can recover it | 13:35 |
| billy2007 | i know its a weird question but would an xbox360 wifi adapter work on ubuntu | 13:35 |
| billy2007 | or would i need the drivers | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | billy2007: try it and see | 13:36 |
| cantor | Dr_Willis, there is an app that pops up when you install. There is a button that says, show passphrase | 13:36 |
| wasanzy_ | I will try other browser and see | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | cantor: thats to make sure you soell ut right. nit recover it. i belive | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | spell.... | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl. | 13:37 |
| cantor | Dr_Willis, recover might be the wrong word. the drive boots and I can login | 13:37 |
| cantor | what is the name of that app that lets you set the passphrase, I think it is the same app. The one that pops up when you login after install and asks you to write down the passphrase for disk encryption | 13:38 |

| jrib | SkiOne: I still don't see the need for "sudo su" on login | 13:44 |
| SkiOne | to overcome that | 13:44 |
| SkiOne | the need is the user cant read the files | 13:44 |
| SkiOne | so it cant rsync them | 13:44 |
| jrib | SkiOne: are you doing this manually or in a cron job (and please stop pressing enter) | 13:44 |
| SkiOne | cron | 13:44 |
| SkiOne | and I hit enter cause I thought of what else I wanted to say after I hit enter | 13:44 |
| mgolisch | why do you need that then? | 13:44 |
| mgolisch | just have cron run this task as root.. | 13:45 |
| SkiOne | that doesnt help cause its the mirrored server that is running the rsync and the files I need to read are on the other server | 13:45 |
| * jrib nods | 13:45 | |

| jrib | SkiOne: I'm trying to understand your situation. Please correct me if I am wrong. You have system A and system B. You are running rsync on system A to copy things from system B. You need the rsync command to have root permissions on system B. | 13:48 |
| SkiOne | rsync connects to a remote server via SSH, its at THAT time I need to sudo su, the cron is on the local machine so running it as root (which it does BTW) doesn't give me the permissions I need on the remote machine.

| sda | Hi ALL! I have an Acer5750 with a LED monitor, and an IntelHD3000 Svideo, I installed UBUNTU but i cannot controll the brightness of my monitor, anyone can help me? thanks! Stefano | 13:56 |
| jrib | SkiOne: what you are asking to do wouldn't even work. Thus why we are trying to help you properly | 13:56 |
| kobe1 | your my god | 13:56 |
| wabznasm | SkiOne: How is the user connecting? Just any old SSH connect, or is it an automated login with a script? | 13:56 |
| taar779 | iceroot, I was using the synaptic package manager trying to isntall linux-alsa-driver-module -- http://pastebin.com/DfRG8Wt2 | 13:56 |
| kobe1 | you are my god | 13:56 |
| SkiOne | wabznasm: SSH with key pair exchange | 13:56 |
| Delrayne | along sda's request where are the preferences/control panel equivilant? | 13:57 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: alt-tab then check if the same happens in other windows as well | 13:57 |
| === Jordan_ is now known as Jordanh | ||
| kobe1 | hu hu i get it | 13:57 |
| fjdebruijn | happens in other windows :-( | 13:57 |
| fjdebruijn | same thing | 13:57 |
| wabznasm | SkiOne: I understand. But will the user be logging in via a SSH shell ad hoc (sol you want the script to be run on an event of the user logging in) or is the user login done in a script? | 13:57 |
| grusum | dhruvasagar: to eliminate the drive as a prob, have u tried shutting down and then rebooting with a live CD ? | 13:58 |
| === Lomex is now known as Lomex_off | ||
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: from when did u have this problem? | 13:58 |
| SkiOne | duh!!!! bash_login is not .bash_login, just adding sudo su to .bash_login works | 13:58 |
| * jrib sighs. | 13:58 | |
| * SkiOne is an idiot | 13:58 | |
| wabznasm | Ski | 13:58 |
| fjdebruijn | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, happens since the start | 13:58 |
| kobe1 | /var/cache/apt/archives | 13:58 |
| wabznasm | SkiOne: you got what you needed - result | 13:59 |
| sda | Delrayne, Sorry what do you mean? i can say on /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brighness the number is right with the bar i see on the notification area, but brighness never change.... | 13:59 |
| fjdebruijn | similar thing happens in windows sometimes, can fix that by pressing ctrl-alt-delete and pressing any button afterwards | 13:59 |
| fjdebruijn | so it may be a hardware problem?! | 13:59 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn:most likely | 14:00 |
| fjdebruijn | any ideas, or should I contact my manufacturer? | 14:00 |
| Delrayne | sda: Sorry for the confusion but I wasn't trying to answer your question. I had one of my own. I'm trying to find the folder equivilant of the control panel | 14:00 |
| xgt001 | ffjde:try installing latest touchpad driver if u are on laptop | 14:01 |
| xgt001 | sorry it was meant for fjdebruijn | 14:01 |
| fjdebruijn | ok thanks, will try that | 14:01 |
| Kaoloi | Hey | 14:02 |
| fjdebruijn | can I do that via synaptic? | 14:02 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: yes search for "xorg synaptic" | 14:02 |
| Delrayne | fjdebruijn: xgt001: apt-get updates should do it to, aye? | 14:02 |
| Kaoloi | Im new to linux, I'd like to know whether every trackpad can enable two-finger scrolling? | 14:02 |
| yan__ | hello | 14:03 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: do this "sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings" | 14:03 |
| Delrayne | xgt001: if not let me know. I'm new to linux, but if my memory serves me correctly that updates everything. | 14:03 |
| woniu | Why "ls /proc/10550/fd" got "0 1 2 255" ? 10550 is the PID of gnome-terminal | 14:04 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: then open "pointing devices" u can enable it over there | 14:04 |
| woniu | why is 255 but not 3? | 14:04 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: no synaptic is a bit safer way to selectively update | 14:05 |
| Kaoloi | ok xgt001 i try it now! | 14:05 |
| Delrayne | xgt001: I'll take that was suppose to go to me, and that makes sense. | 14:05 |
| almostroot | Does anyone have any experience with DRBL/Clonezilla? | 14:06 |
| yan__ | hello | 14:06 |
| fjdebruijn | I have the latest version of my touchpad drivers | 14:06 |
| sipior | woniu: processes can open arbitrary file descriptors. maybe the gnome-terminal folks wanted to use 255 because it was out of the way. | 14:06 |
| Kaoloi | xgt001, I have installed pointing devices and enabled 'vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers' but its not working | 14:07 |
| yan__ | fuck | 14:07 |
| Pici | yan__: No cursing here. | 14:07 |
| Asad2005 | i have just installed thunderbird 5, how do i import everything from evolution ? I tried import/export tools addon but all imprt menue items are grayed out | 14:07 |
| kobe1 | who is yan_ | 14:07 |
| yan__ | ok | 14:07 |
| Pici | woniu: The manpage for 'proc' explains what file descriptors you should expect to see inder /prod/[pid]/ | 14:07 |

| kobe1 | hou wen tao | 14:08 |
| yan__ | o i see | 14:08 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: sad to hear that :( Kaoloi: it should have worked....try restarting.. but most likely ur touchpad is not fully supported yet | 14:08 |
| fjdebruijn | xgt001: I have the latest version of the touchpad drivers, did not solve my problem | 14:08 |
| uvacavs47_ | How do I recover my nickname password if I'm switching over to another computer? | 14:08 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: yes try to enable in "mouse" as well | 14:08 |
| fjdebruijn | ok, I guess I'll get in touch with HP, if it is a hardware problem, it may be familiar to them | 14:08 |
| fjdebruijn | thanks for your help! | 14:09 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: i have HP and i too have hardware lockups sometime | 14:09 |
| fjdebruijn | did you contact them to fix? | 14:09 |
| Kaoloi | xgt001, its still not working I try restarting. thanks | 14:10 |
| uvacavs47_ | fjdebruijn: no, i feel like i've done it before without contacting them... but maybe not | 14:10 |
| xgt001 | fjdebruijn: in 10.10 touchpad was real bad , 11.04 is ok ok ... but need to change the settings in pointing devices to make it work properly | 14:10 |
| Chillance | what kind of drivers do I install to enable opengl (glx) using Intel HD 3000 gfx? | 14:11 |
| woniu | sipior:what does it means "out of the way"? "the process always use the lowest number for file field which not using" it is right? | 14:12 |
| sipior | woniu: you can dup to whatever descriptor you like. what does it matter? | 14:12 |
| xgt001 | Chillance: do u mean sandybridge ? | 14:12 |
| Kaoloi | hi, its still not working :( | 14:13 |
| Chillance | xgt001, yes | 14:13 |

| BigDaddyDuergar | Is there a applet/widget whatever it's called for Ubuntu that is a binary clock? | 14:14 |
| Roasted | Is there no way to change ID tags within Banshee from an actual music device? I can only seem to change ID tags of files that are within my Banshee library, but NOT on the media player device. | 14:14 |
| Zzarkc-20 | It's on a virtualbox ubuntu server (I have multiple for development), and i eve ncopied one working sources.list file to the other, same problem. | 14:14 |
| xgt001 | Chillance: sandy bridge support is currently not yet implemented completely in Ubuntu ... u may need to check out some unofficial PPA's for workarounds which is not "recommended" | 14:14 |
| glenn_ | why is it that my screen is blanck after -+ 1 h and i can't do notting | 14:14 |
| cantor | Does anyone know the name of the GUI app that opens after installing Lucid and has you set the disk encryption passphrase? | 14:14 |
| Kaoloi | xgt001, is there something else i can do? | 14:14 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: What release of Ubuntu are you using? | 14:14 |
| ChogyDan | cantor: maybe dolphin or seahorse | 14:15 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, 10.04 LTS | 14:15 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: sad ... try disablin it in pointing devices and enable only in mouse and vice versa | 14:15 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: Can you pastebin your sources.list somewhere? | 14:15 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, Yeah. Give me a moment. | 14:15 |
| ron34563654 | hi | 14:16 |
| Kaoloi | xgt001, no success :( i guess i wont be able to do it on my laptop then.. thanks anyway | 14:16 |
| cantor | ChogyDan, would you know which password is the disk encryption passphrase? | 14:17 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: i suggested everything i could :( sorry i couldnt help u :( | 14:17 |
| Kaoloi | xgt001, i appreciate the help i have another question however if you dont mind | 14:17 |
| ChogyDan | cantor: the keyring password? | 14:17 |
| glenn_ | ask | 14:18 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: go ahead | 14:18 |
| woniu | sipior: "the process always use the least number as file field" ,many books said that.So i doubt that whether it should be 3 not 255. | 14:18 |
| Kaoloi | Im dual-booting windows vista and ubuntu 11.04 or 11.4 i forgot. I'm not sure but i think i didnt attribute a partition big enough for ubuntu | 14:19 |
| Kaoloi | Im starting to like it and would love to expand the partition | 14:19 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, http://pastebin.com/kGmKsc0k | 14:19 |
| Roasted | Is there no way to edit ID tags on a device connected to banshee? | 14:19 |
| cantor | ChogyDan, no such thing in seahorse. I do not have dolphin, using gnome. There was a popup after install showing me the passphrase. There must be a way to see that again. | 14:19 |
| Kaoloi | i'm not sure how to check the storage space though, as in, i dont really understand | 14:19 |
| cantor | someone has to know the name of that popup | 14:20 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: u want to expand the partition size for ubuntu? | 14:20 |
| cantor | a command I can run in terminal that will launch that popup again | 14:20 |
| Kaoloi | yes | 14:20 |
| sipior | woniu: perhaps you should file a bug against gnome-terminal. should be good for a laugh. | 14:20 |
| Nozy | hi all | 14:20 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, Sorry about the syntax highlighting. I wasn't sure what I should put it as for that file. | 14:21 |
| ChogyDan | cantor: if you want to change the password, I think you can right click the <b>Passwords</b> password, and select 'Change Password' | 14:21 |

| Kirill | hello! I'm running a server that accepts connections on some port, not HTTP. in the logs I'm seeing a message like this: TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port XXX, sending cookies | 14:22 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: u could try gparted, or gnome disk utility, but i never tried repartitioning myself....in fact it looks its easier to do in Gparted, however, u "may" loose ur files | 14:22 |
| cantor | ChogyDan, right click where, in seahorse? | 14:22 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: Thats fine. I'm not seeing anything obvious that would prevent you from updating. Are you getting errors for every repository address, or just when you download an upgrade for a specific package? | 14:22 |
| Pici | !it | giordano | 14:22 |
| ubottu | giordano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 14:22 |
| Kirill | is there any way to turn off that kernel syn protection, considering that I'm expecting to get many connections on this port? | 14:22 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, It appears to be all of them. | 14:22 |
| ChogyDan | cantor: of course, yeah | 14:22 |
| Roasted | Is there no way to edit ID tags on a device connected to banshee? | 14:22 |
| Kaoloi | ok xgt001 ill try and do some research on it. but do you think its safer to do it on windows or linux? | 14:22 |
| conley | qin: okay, well that's good at least! I thought I was going crazy or my laptop was failing | 14:23 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, and I don't think it's a lack of internet conncetion, cause I can still ping stuff outside of the network. | 14:23 |
| sipior | Roasted: edit the tags locally, and sync to the device. | 14:23 |
| Python | Hi all. | 14:23 |
| Python | Can I remove the task "GNOME Desktop Environment" and install the "Graphical Desktop Environment"? | 14:23 |
| woniu | sipior:Thanks , I thinks i should check it again. Sorry for my poor English. | 14:23 |
| Roasted | sipior, I'm having a little bit of difficulty figuring out how to do that, because my collection is huge, and I onlyw ant a small amount on the device. | 14:23 |
| cantor | ChogyDan, that looks like it changes my login password, but will it change the passphrase? | 14:23 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: Can you resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com? | 14:24 |
| Python | will this give me a DE ? | 14:24 |
| Roasted | sipior, I figure the best way would be to edit manually, which is a pita in this case when I could benefit from syncing. | 14:24 |
| xgt001 | Kaoloi: in linux , :) | 14:24 |

| Kirill | anyone have an idea how I can avoid this kernel protection against syn flooding, considering that it's not a deliberate attack or anything? | 14:25 |
| conley | Ubuntubruger4: I'd say NTFS.. | 14:25 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: Well, that seems to be your issue then. Any DNS changes lately? | 14:25 |

| ikonia | Python: you are not using ubuntu any more | 14:25 |
| Ubuntubruger4 | i have tryed using 512 sectors in a DOS partition, but can | 14:26 |
| conley | Ubuntubruger4: Ubuntu can read NTFS. You just need 3gntfs-tools, or something like that | 14:26 |
| Ubuntubruger4 | can't get it to work | 14:26 |
| Kaoloi | the other one is /host is for windows i guess.. | 14:26 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, Ummm... It's a completely locally run server. I did add some 192.168 ones to my hosts, but I didn't think that'd affect it. | 14:26 |
| cantor | ChogyDan, np. I want know what the popup is called, the popup that shows asking to set passphrase for disk encryption after install. | 14:26 |
| conley | Ubuntubruger4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 14:27 |
| Kaoloi | but i cant reduce the size of sda2 (/host) there's a 'key' symbol | 14:27 |

| sipior | woniu: sure, no trouble. | 14:44 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, I have no idea if it is the address. What would I use to find out? | 14:45 |
| paddy_ | does anyone know of an alternate location that gnupg stores keys other than ~/.gnupg | 14:45 |
| cantor | is there anyway to recover the encrypted home passphrase if I can still login after install? | 14:45 |
| cantor | I have not moved the drive | 14:45 |
| isteve__ | it sda : | 14:46 |
| cantor | yes | 14:46 |
| thingfish | I've tried installing 11.04, but I have an ATI Radeon HD 6950 vidcard that doesn't seem to be supported well by the drivers that are used on the livecd. How can I find out whether, after I go ahead and install anyway, I'll find Ubuntu-supplied flgrx (?) drivers? | 14:46 |
| thingfish | or will I have to use ATI's binary drivers? | 14:46 |
| cantor | installed, set passphrase for encrypted home, closed gui, didnt write down passphrase. can I see it again? | 14:47 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: What OS is the virtual machine host running? | 14:47 |
| TL1 | the app using the module is not listed on lsmod gsb | 14:47 |
| TL1 | ? | 14:47 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, Ubuntu 64-bit 11.04. I'm confused because I have another server just like it that is working just fine. | 14:48 |
| TL1 | removed | 14:48 |
| gsb | TL1: how? | 14:49 |
| b88 | how to update the system | 14:49 |
| cantor | I am currently logged into Ubuntu lucid after install. I setup encrypted home on install. My login password decrypts my home so that I can see everything on login. Is there anyway to see the passphrase for /home encryption? | 14:49 |
| b88 | yes | 14:49 |
| cantor | how? | 14:50 |
| b88 | yes | 14:50 |
| iceroot | b88: update to a newer ubuntu version or just security updates? | 14:50 |
| iceroot | cantor: no, the passphrase is stored as a hased one | 14:50 |
| iceroot | cantor: hashed | 14:50 |
| TL1 | well i removed my wireless usb adapter | 14:51 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: hmm... I'd check to see whether the dig output from the server that isn't working matches the ones that are working. | 14:51 |
| iceroot | cantor: its the same as in /etc/shadow there are all userpasswords, but stored as hash | 14:51 |
| TL1 | but when i replug it | 14:51 |
| TL1 | it came back i ran command again now its gone with my wireless interface | 14:51 |
| TL1 | how to create a new interface | 14:52 |
| TL1 | ? | 14:52 |
| TL1 | gsb: Ah follow :-) | 14:53 |
| cantor | iceroot, When you first login after install, there is a pop up telling you that your login password will decrypt your home. There is a button on the pop up that shows you the hash. Can I see the hash? If I reset my login password will it show me the new hash? I did not write the hash down and I would like to. | 14:53 |
| khvay | can someone help me determine the best video drivers for a 11.04 install. http://paste.ubuntu.com/642685/ | 14:53 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, No, it's not the same. | 14:53 |
| Zzarkc-20 | Pici, And the other one had the ANSWER Section. | 14:53 |
| TL1 | khvay: the installer will do that ? | 14:54 |
| cantor | iceroot, the hash it shows you is the same that is in /etc/shadow? | 14:54 |
| Pici | Zzarkc-20: As it should. Check /etc/resolv.conf on both machines to make sure that they have the same dns server setup. If that is being assigned by dhcp, then check there. | 14:54 |
| khvay | TL1 - well the resolution sizes are limited compared to my windows install | 14:54 |
| TL1 | khvay: it is normal during install | 14:55 |
| cantor | iceroot, that would not make sense, because if my laptop is stolen, etc is not encrypted and so anyone who mounts the drive can see the shadow file | 14:55 |
| TL1 | but after you will be prompted to install new drivers | 14:55 |

| ikonia | night: I don't know - it depends how you've broke it, I must admit blindly installing libraries with "configure && make && make install" is a terrible idea and can do all sorts of damage | 15:07 |
| conley | Pici: It to take me to somewhere that I could enter commands at by default, like Arch does | 15:07 |
| night | ikonia, i have try to "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" , but it is not useful | 15:07 |
| strangr | hellomrjack, then u can install again using the additional drivers | 15:07 |

| Pici | asnoobasitgets: see http://www.irchelp.org/ | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | taar779, well , I don't like telling ppl to remoc=ve apps , but if you have pulsaudio installed , it could be the problem ...personally i don't use it because it's designed for fancy pci soundcards with lots of options IMO .. | 15:38 |
| asnoobasitgets | thank you pici | 15:38 |
| dimas__ | taar779 for some reason some times alsa dont have all the modules install so try add the repositories and see what happen sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa | 15:38 |
| dimas__ | sudo apt-get update | 15:38 |
| dimas__ | sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) | 15:38 |
| cantor | asnoobasitgets, he was asking how to see the help in IRC | 15:38 |
| Pici | asnoobasitgets: Also, keep in mind that #ubuntu is for Ubuntu OS help only, off-topic chatter belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 15:38 |

| cantor | jnlsnl_, weird | 15:46 |
| cantor | sounds sketchy | 15:46 |
| debianbest | Pici: for all practical purposes, how this works in ubuntu and debian should be very similar, | 15:46 |
| jnlsnl_ | aye, its generated from the feature module for drupal, it worked some hours ago :X | 15:46 |
| cantor | ubuntu=/=debian | 15:46 |
| cantor | jnlsnl, do you have a zip choice? | 15:47 |
| cantor | jnlsnl_, do you have a zip choice? | 15:47 |
| jnlsnl_ | nope only get .tar | 15:47 |
| Pici | debianbest: Thats fine, but it still doesn't change the fact that we do not support debian here. | 15:47 |
| rww | debianbest: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. #debian is for Debian technical support. As a Debian-using #ubuntu channel op, please respect our policies and the fact that you might not know everything about the difference between Debian and Ubuntu. | 15:47 |
| gregory_ | should one begin their endeavor in ubuntu or debian for learning purposes? | 15:48 |
| debianbest | Pici: that would be okay, were it not for the fact that the #debian channel is kind of mute, so not much help can be gotten from there. | 15:48 |
| ikonia | gregory_: your choice | 15:49 |
| gregory_ | also, does anyone know the most used computer languages by the united states DoD? | 15:49 |
| Pici | debianbest: Their official channel is on oftc iirc. | 15:49 |
| debianbest | gregory_: it's probably quite irrelevant, they are both the same. | 15:49 |
| cantor | debianbest, not the same | 15:49 |
| debianbest | Pici: I don't understand what you are saying, sorry | 15:49 |
| cantor | similar sure | 15:49 |
| matt08642 | Hi, I am running Ubuntu with the Fluxbox desktop environment, and I was wondering how I would be able to switch the default sound output to my USB headset. Ubuntu is defaulting to my onboard sound, which doesnt work | 15:49 |
| Pici | gregory_: As I stated before, Ubuntu is for support of the OS only. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for other things. | 15:49 |
| cantor | gregory_, for desktops, ubuntu is your best bet | 15:49 |
| Pici | debianbest: Debian's official IRC channel is on irc.oftc.net, not freenode. | 15:50 |
| rww | Pici: #debian on freenode is generally busier, though ;( | 15:50 |
| cantor | I am currently logged into Ubuntu lucid after install. I setup encrypted home on install. My login password decrypts my home so that I can see everything on login. Is there anyway to see the passphrase for /home encryption? | 15:50 |

| bootloader | hey guys...apt-get seems to be missing autocompletion. I'm using 10.4...how might I enable it? | 15:52 |
| cantor | bootloader, what are you trying to run? | 15:53 |
| cantor | just apt-get <tab>x2 | 15:53 |
| bootloader | cantor, just trying to get autocomplete working for apt-get. E.g. 'apt-get install partial-package-name' | 15:53 |
| === vato- is now known as duvel | ||
| bootloader | and then I hit tab, and it should list options/fill it in if its obvious | 15:54 |
| rww | bootloader: do you get tab-complete in bash for other things (like ls, for example)? | 15:54 |
| bootloader | rww: yes, I do. and bash-completion is installed and up-to-date | 15:54 |
| rww | ahh, bootloader is psychic :) | 15:55 |
| * rww ponders | 15:55 | |
| cantor | bootloader, I have no idea how to break that | 15:55 |
| cantor | did it work before? | 15:55 |
| bootloader | cantor: no. this is a work machine that I have not done the install myself on. All other ubuntu's i've used have this feature....i do have sudoer access, so i can do anything short of reinstalling | 15:57 |
| Octodigit | hi folks. Just about to embark on another evening of trying to make xorg work on natty. Has anything changed in the last month or two wrt fglrx and natty? | 15:57 |

| VectorX | hi, i got a guest ubunto on a host win7 via vmware, guest ip is 192.168.179.131, how do i find the ip of the host its connected to ? | 15:58 |
| cantor | sure it is not zsh | 15:58 |
| duvel | vectorx type sudo who | 15:58 |
| edbian | VectorX: traceroute | 15:59 |
| bootloader | cantor, it is bash for sure | 15:59 |
| edbian | VectorX: Or use win7 to get the ip | 15:59 |

| edbian | VectorX: sure | 16:01 |
| bootloader | cantor, yes I do | 16:01 |
| cantor | bootloader, or /home/user/.bashrc | 16:01 |
| cantor | at the end of .bashrc there is a if statement about bash completion | 16:02 |
| Kyron | - | 16:03 |
| cantor | since you do not have sudo, you cannot change /etc/bash.bachrc | 16:03 |
| bootloader | cantor... I do have sudo. i can do anything short of a re-install | 16:04 |
| JoshManders | Hey guys, sorry to bother you again, but I'm running 10.04 and I can't get it to recognize my iPod Touch, and it says it should recognize it out of the box. | 16:05 |

| monsterwizard | hi | 16:07 |
| jaro | iemka | 16:07 |
| Pici | KNUBBIG: Normally, I'd suggest rsync, but rsync doesn't do ftp. I believe lftp can do syncing, but I've never used it before. | 16:07 |
| KNUBBIG | Pici: okay, I'm currently using lftp which is somewhat VERY slow, I think I have to look into tuning it. Thanks | 16:08 |
| monsterwizard | How can I uninstall evolution? | 16:08 |
| bootloader | cantor, that was the problem. thx | 16:09 |
| gregory_ | in gmusic i receive this error Playing error : Resource not found. at /usr/bin/../share/gmusicbrowser/gmusicbrowser_gstreamer-0.10.pm line 135. | 16:09 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: sudo apt-get remove evolution | 16:09 |
| cantor | bootloader, cool | 16:09 |
| monsterwizard | ahhh thank you | 16:10 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: or go to software center, and search for evolution, then say remove | 16:10 |
| Octodigit | you could use rsync with something like fuse or vfs, KNUBBIG | 16:10 |
| monsterwizard | I tried that but it says there :/ | 16:10 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: what do you mean "it says there"? its already removed? | 16:10 |
| Phoenix6780 | rsync uses lower bandwidth | 16:10 |
| cantor | why does rsync auto start in ubuntu? | 16:11 |
| cantor | what is that for? | 16:11 |
| Phoenix6780 | and it's used by storage servers to automatically backup | 16:11 |
| monsterwizard | once I uninstall it from the software centre it still apears to be...installed | 16:11 |
| cantor | in lucid specifically | 16:11 |
| Phoenix6780 | rsync pushes files | 16:11 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: strange. did you try opening it after? | 16:11 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, did you try sudo apt-get uninstall packagename | 16:12 |
| monsterwizard | nope | 16:12 |
| monsterwizard | That I shall try now | 16:12 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: no such thing as "uninstall" for apt | 16:12 |
| Octodigit | it might be worth getting a test ftp server up, then at the "client" end trying rsync with curlftpfs | 16:12 |
| cantor | SORRY! | 16:12 |
| cantor | sudo apt-get remove package name | 16:12 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: its k ;) | 16:12 |
| cantor | duh | 16:12 |
| olskolirc | business analyst software for ubuntu anyone? | 16:12 |
| nikonmikon | matt08642, U MAD | 16:12 |
| Octodigit | to ensure it behaves as expected, that is :) | 16:12 |
| kroq-gar78 | lol | 16:12 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, sudo apt-get remove packagename, not uninstall | 16:13 |
| Octodigit | you'll stuff like compression though :\ | 16:13 |
| monsterwizard | damn it | 16:13 |
| monsterwizard | it's still there | 16:13 |
| cantor | or, sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename | 16:13 |
| tauntaun | I've been reading web pages re sendmail vs. postfix, and I can't seem to make up my mind which MTA to favor. Any thoughts? | 16:13 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: that's what I was about to say :P | 16:13 |
| compdoc | yes, use purge to remove it all | 16:13 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, what do you mean still there, where do you see it? | 16:14 |
| Octodigit | sorry, that was @ KNUBBIG | 16:14 |
| === FusionX_ is now known as FusionY | ||
| gregory_ | is there a codec in medibuntu repository for m4a filetype? | 16:14 |
| sipior | tauntaun: postfix. | 16:14 |
| bootloader | monsterwizard, I had a problem with that recently. the metapackage installed like 3-4 different bins that were executed by the programs name | 16:14 |
| monsterwizard | I see it in the menu | 16:14 |
| Octodigit | also, that should read "you'll lose stuff like compression though :\" | 16:14 |
| tauntaun | sipior: reasons? :) | 16:14 |
| cantor | gregory_, itunes is the devil | 16:14 |
| monsterwizard | and when I click it, it asked me to confiugre an account :/ | 16:14 |
| bootloader | so it was uninstalling...kinda | 16:14 |
| monsterwizard | I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 | 16:14 |
| cantor | oh, the menu icon is still there | 16:14 |
| Pici | cantor: Lets try to be helpful when answering. | 16:14 |
| monsterwizard | yes | 16:14 |
| sipior | tauntaun: try configuring both of them. | 16:15 |
| matt08642 | nikonmikon NO U MAD | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | Octodigit, @ doesn't work on irc, the nick is enough to highlight | 16:15 |
| rww | tauntaun: postfix is Ubuntu's default MTA, and sendmail is overcomplicated to configure and generally annoying | 16:15 |
| matt08642 | nikonmikon, maddeus | 16:15 |
| cantor | Pici, sorry, I just know I will say it later | 16:15 |
| Octodigit | BluesKaj: just an abbreviation of the word @ :) | 16:15 |
| nikonmikon | matt08642, no u cuz im leaving this neckbearded chat | 16:15 |
| Octodigit | libfaad for m4a, innit? | 16:15 |
| bootloader | so what I ended up doing was finding all the pkgs installed by the meta and manually removing them. | 16:15 |
| KNUBBIG | Octodigit: just read you, sorry. Thank, I will try that. Have a local test ftp | 16:15 |
| sipior | tauntaun: sendmail also has a history of poor security. postfix was generally designed to mitigate many of the design flaws in sendmail. | 16:16 |
| gregory_ | when i uninstalled gmusicbrowser it saved allt he songs in my library, how can i reset or remove them all? | 16:16 |
| Octodigit | KNUBBIG: worth a shot, isn't it :) | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | Octodigit, fine , but we get alot of the IM stuff , so i had to let you know | 16:16 |
| === FusionY is now known as FusionX | ||
| KNUBBIG | Octodigit: very true, thanks :) | 16:16 |
| Octodigit | heh fair enough ;) | 16:16 |
| tauntaun | sipior: Yes, I've heard that, but I've also read claims that sendmail's security weakness are "way overblown." | 16:16 |
| * tauntaun will do more reading. | 16:17 | |
| sipior | tauntaun: that may be. stick with postfix anyway. | 16:17 |
| monsterwizard | Is there a free ubuntu book. | 16:17 |
| tauntaun | wi sipior | 16:17 |
| rufian2 | my screen is black, almost all except the pointer... what should I do? | 16:17 |
| monsterwizard | ON how to use the OS and how it works? | 16:17 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: try "sudo apt-get remove evolution-common | 16:17 |
| monsterwizard | that the chat recommends | 16:17 |
| kroq-gar78 | " | 16:17 |
| Octodigit | pretty sure we monkey around m4as around here without issue with a blob of packages we install by default, and I think the relevant ones are libfaad/libfaac, gregory_ | 16:17 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: for evolution that is :P | 16:18 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, if the menu item is still there after you uninstall the application, you can delete it | 16:18 |
| rufian2 | (I have ssh access, with X display open) | 16:18 |
| cantor | from the menu | 16:18 |

| ron34563654 | My irc chat doesnt works well. I can't see traffic. Why? | 16:20 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: try "sudo apt-get remove evolution-common" | 16:20 |

| mocas_ | I can't get it by apt-get | 16:20 |

| rww | JihaduAllahuAkba: Hi, welcome to #ubuntu, the technical support channel for Ubuntu. Do you have a question? | 16:20 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: I got it to install but nvidia-xconfig created a config which doesn't work at all with anything. startx -> monitor loses signal -> reset button :D | 16:20 |
| JihaduAllahuAkba | ALLAHHHHHHHH | 16:20 |
| coz_ | JihaduAllahuAkba, stop | 16:21 |
| gregory_ | is there an equivalent of msconfig startup tab ? | 16:21 |
| cantor | KNUBBIG, are you running X when you install? | 16:21 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: nope | 16:21 |
| cantor | gregory_, terminal | 16:21 |
| Corey | gregory_: update-rc.d from the terminal. | 16:21 |
| coz_ | gregory_, maybe system/preferences/ sessions or startup application? | 16:22 |
| cantor | KNUBBIG, is it an old card? | 16:22 |
| Octodigit | wait a sec, the uivalent of msconfig depends on why he's asking | 16:22 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: not that much, gtx 280 | 16:22 |
| Polah | I have a script that dumps a database to a file each day and names the file with the date as "forums_$(date +%d-%m-%Y).sql". I'd like to keep the past week's worth of dumps and thus each time the script runs I'd like it to delete the oldest file which should be 7 days old then. How can I do this? | 16:22 |
| Octodigit | if it's to work with gui startup it's the gnome app, if the system startup it's init | 16:22 |
| Octodigit | gregory_: wot for, old chap? | 16:22 |
| coz_ | gregory_, if it is for startup applications then system/preferences/startup applications | 16:23 |
| monsterwizard | Ok I think most of it is gone now | 16:23 |
| monsterwizard | thank you all | 16:23 |
| gregory_ | they were not visible, in bootup manager that i had dled. it was some media program that styayed up possibly becuase of a restart | 16:23 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: np. does it run anymore? | 16:23 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, some of the evolution stuff is required for ubuntu-desktop I think | 16:23 |
| monsterwizard | it's a very hard application to uninstall | 16:24 |
| cantor | I do not think you can delete everything that is evolution | 16:24 |
| monsterwizard | You're right, some of this stuff must be requirede | 16:24 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: yeah that's what I thought too, but when you remove evolution, it has no problems w/ ubuntu-desktop | 16:24 |
| cantor | kroq-gar78, there is some dependency issue I think | 16:24 |
| cantor | with some of the evolution stuff | 16:25 |

| cantor | KNUBBIG, what driver version are you using? | 16:25 |
| afeijo | ops, not share but sync, I cannot enable the sync checkbox | 16:25 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: how? do you mean that there are some things hidden in gnome or something? | 16:25 |
| cantor | afeijo, lol | 16:25 |
| cantor | no no, let me check | 16:26 |
| Octodigit | Polah: depends on the requirement it's easy enough to get a date for one week ago and generate the filename for (man date) | 16:26 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: one Moment, I'll have to look that up | 16:26 |
| coz_ | monsterwizard, one way is to open synaptic packages manager and search for evolution | 16:26 |
| coz_ | monsterwizard, then right click one package at a time to see if anything of importance is going to be uninstalled | 16:26 |
| Octodigit | or you can use find -mtime to check for files modified, or you can alter dirvish config - are the dumps managed by config? | 16:26 |
| monsterwizard | I'm trying to find a more lightweight client that isn't as heavy as evolution | 16:26 |
| rufian2 | how can i move the desktop of my laptop to a external VGA using the terminal? | 16:26 |
| coz_ | monsterwizard, a bit of a long way around it but you will also get a clearer understanding of necessary dependencies | 16:26 |
| kroq-gar78 | coz_: problem with that is that a bunch of other random stuff also comes up. | 16:26 |
| monsterwizard | for gmail and hotmaikl | 16:27 |
| wubi_apprentice_ | hello, I've tried to install wubi on my fresh laptop but when I boot into wubi it does not boot and giving such errors as: "bad lun, bad target number 1-8" etc. what might be the problem and how can I figure this out? thanks alot. | 16:27 |
| cantor | kroq-gar78, evolution-data-server is what I meant | 16:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: maybe elementary os's postler? | 16:27 |
| Octodigit | Polah: also consider do you *always* want to delete dumps from a week ago? even if subsequent dumps have not worked? | 16:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | cantor: ah got it | 16:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: but I think it's still in beta or something. | 16:27 |
| monsterwizard | ahh wow I'll look it up | 16:27 |
| rww | evolution-data-server is part of GNOME core more than it's part of Evolution. | 16:27 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: I installed 275.09.07 | 16:27 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, I love thunderbird | 16:28 |
| coz_ | monsterwizard, actually I believe you can uninstall all evolution packages except for evolution-data-server-common | 16:28 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: nevermind, it's stable. here's the link: https://launchpad.net/~postler-dev/+archive/ppa | 16:28 |
| monsterwizard | thunderbird is good too but even that seems too heavy | 16:28 |
| monsterwizard | awesome thanks :D | 16:28 |
| monsterwizard | I hope it's easy to configure, I'm hopeless | 16:28 |
| monsterwizard | oh god! | 16:29 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: i haven't tried it, so can't help you with config :/ I guess time to try? | 16:29 |
| cantor | monsterwizard, pine is light weight | 16:30 |
| monsterwizard | pine? | 16:30 |
| monsterwizard | hmm | 16:30 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: what happened? also, if you need help installing ppa's, just ask :) | 16:30 |
| Octodigit | alpine is fun | 16:30 |
| cantor | KNUBBIG, Im not sure with debian and that card | 16:30 |
| monsterwizard | It looks to complicated hahah | 16:30 |
| cantor | alpine, yeah | 16:30 |
| Octodigit | but guis are good for email sometimes, too | 16:30 |
| wubi_apprentice_ | hello, I've tried to install wubi on my fresh laptop but when I boot into wubi it does not boot and giving such errors as: "bad lun, bad target number 1-8" etc. what might be the problem and how can I figure this out? I've searched the problem but could not find a solution. thanks alot. | 16:30 |
| monsterwizard | alpine the terminal app? Yeah I failed to get that to work too | 16:30 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: okay, thanks. I will try to install the one from the repo | 16:31 |
| Cube`` | can somebody tell me why on *earth* the ubuntuforums now require an account for *reading*? | 16:31 |
| kroq-gar78 | monsterwizard: so much for elementary, eh? | 16:31 |
| cantor | repo drivers work best for me | 16:31 |
| monsterwizard | lol yeah | 16:31 |
| Octodigit | Cube``: is that really true? | 16:31 |
| Octodigit | I've looked at several posts recently without logging in | 16:31 |

| cannonball | I'm trying to play video file on 11.04. The audio track is dts-hd. mplayer cannot play it, but Totem can. mplayer tries with ffmpeg/libavcodec, then libdca, then hwac3. It finally complains "Cannot find codec for audio format 0x2001." Google suggests that svn versions of mplayer circa Jan should have fixed code. I have medibuntu enabled. Is there another mplayer package or repo I should be using for this to work properly? | 16:31 |
| Cube`` | first post | 16:31 |
| kroq-gar78 | Cube: yeah i was wondering that too recently | 16:31 |
| Cube`` | kroq-gar78: goddamit | 16:32 |
| Cube`` | kroq-gar78: i want to see the fact of the person who's decision that was | 16:32 |
| kroq-gar78 | cube: but then it magically worked :/ i have no idea though | 16:32 |
| rww | Cube``: go ask #ubuntuforums :P | 16:32 |
| kroq-gar78 | cube: could be some bug. just a thought... | 16:32 |

| abu | how i can do that kroq-gar78 | 16:35 |
| kroq-gar78 | abu: do you use 11.04 unity? | 16:35 |
| kroq-gar78 | abu: if you do, search for "drivers" | 16:35 |
| Octodigit | hey, I'm interested in this. | 16:35 |
| abu | no kroq-gar78, am used 10.10 | 16:35 |

| LmAt | I'm a Linux newbie. When I add a file system, where can I find its contents? | 16:40 |
| LmAt | Where's "My Computer" for crying out loud? | 16:41 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: well I'll have to find it out ;-) With the open source drivers, everything worked 'fine' (except for the bad performance) | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !mount | LmAt | 16:41 |
| ubottu | LmAt: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 16:41 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: when you say "Add filesystem", do you mean a device (like a flashdirve)? | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | LmAt: under places. normally show it | 16:42 |
| abu | that find, am need wait for that answare :), thanks kroq-gar78 that find, am used free os that like... | 16:42 |
| LmAt | Dr_Willis, what does that last one mean? What is "places'? | 16:42 |
| LmAt | kroq-gar78, Sort of... | 16:42 |

| Dr_Willis | LmAt: look in the filemanager menus. or sidebar | 16:42 |

| LmAt | I'm trying to ask my questions in general so that I can learn Ubunto better. | 16:42 |
| LmAt | Dr_Willis, What's that? | 16:42 |
| madmk | Hello | 16:42 |
| KNUBBIG | cantor: will try that, already tried the xen channel, thanks :) | 16:42 |
| LmAt | I won't mind getting very specific, but I think I can learn more in general. So, say I insert an USB mass storage device, how do I get to its contents? | 16:43 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: k. when you plug a flashdrive in, an icon should come up on the desktop. | 16:43 |
| LmAt | kroq-gar78, ahh | 16:43 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: then double click | 16:43 |
| LmAt | kroq-gar78, What if I'm not using a gui? | 16:43 |

| LmAt | I'll get much more specific. I created a Virtual Box. I shared a folder with my Ubuntu Guest. | 16:46 |
| afeijo | thanks Dr_Willis | 16:46 |
| LmAt | Where is it? | 16:46 |
| LmAt | I think I named it, "u" | 16:47 |
| jvgeli | does anyone know how to solve graphics issues with Natty and ATI? | 16:47 |
| * LmAt is restarting his guest. | 16:47 | |
| jvgeli | some say its not an ATI issue but rather with Ubuntu and Unity, basically I don't care right now whose fault it is I just want it to be resolved please. | 16:47 |
| LmAt | yeah, I restarted and it's still not on the "desktop" (is that what it's called?). | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | it shiuld show up in the filemanager menus/sidebar LmAt , or in /media/somthing | 16:48 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: ah got it. I found it out once, but know my VBox is borken. It won't install new kernel modules, so can't help you there. But, try googling "ubuntu guest virtualbox shared folder" | 16:48 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: If my VBox works, I can get it for you. But i can't ;( | 16:48 |
| ashwin_ | so i'm trying to share internet connection from my ubuntu laptop to my windows desktop | 16:48 |
| LmAt | kroq-gar78, Thanks. Why won't it install new kernel modules? What do you mean by new? New to the vbox or new as of some point in time? | 16:48 |
| LmAt | ashwin_, bad idea. | 16:49 |
| ashwin_ | why? | 16:49 |
| jvgeli | does anyone know how to solve graphics issues with Natty and ATI? | 16:49 |
| cantor | ashwin_, share? | 16:49 |
| ashwin_ | it's worked perfectly in the past | 16:49 |
| LmAt | Dr_Willis, The only thing in /media is sf_u | 16:49 |
| cantor | you mean access? | 16:49 |
| ashwin_ | i'm connected to the internet through wlan0 on my ubuntu laptop | 16:49 |
| Phr3d13 | cantor, did you install the 'additional' drivers? | 16:49 |
| kroq-gar78 | LmAt: basically,compiled new kernel, so it have to recompile it with some blah, and more blah :/ I have to recompile it (my kernel). | 16:49 |
| ashwin_ | i'm trying to share that connection to my windows box through eth0 | 16:49 |
| kroq-gar78 | ashwin_: are you using gnome/unity? | 16:50 |
| cantor | Phr3d13, not sure why you are asking me that | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | vbox? tryng to access a usb flash from vbox? you got to configuere vbox for that then use the vbox menu to actually tell it to sccess the usb | 16:50 |
| ashwin_ | when i plug in the ethernet cable it says "connection established" and "disconnected" | 16:50 |
| Phr3d13 | oops i mean jvgeli, did you install the additional drivers | 16:50 |
| ashwin_ | it oscillates between those two | 16:50 |

| Phr3d13 | cantor, sorry my bad | 16:50 |

| ashwin_ | cantor, i'm using gnome | 16:51 |
| jvgeli | also tried diabling sync to vblank | 16:51 |
| ashwin_ | cantor, i don't know | 16:51 |
| kroq-gar78 | Dr_Willis: he wants to access a shared folder which he shared using the host | 16:51 |
| ashwin_ | cantor, i just clicked | 16:51 |
| Phr3d13 | i have an nvidia board, i can't be much help | 16:51 |
| ashwin_ | cantor, "edit connections" -> eth0 -> shared to other computers | 16:51 |
| zoidfarb | I'm interested in doing a full install of Ubuntu onto a USB flash drive (while running my existing Ubuntu install), has anyone done this, or can you point me in the direction of some resources? | 16:51 |
| cantor | your windows machine wants to access the internet, and you want it to do so by plugging in a cable to your eth0 on linux machine | 16:51 |
| kroq-gar78 | ashwin_: go to System -> Preferences -> Network Connections | 16:51 |
| ashwin_ | cantor, exactly | 16:51 |
| Phr3d13 | did you look for a ppa from ati? | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | kroq-gar78: he has to use the right mount command, after installing guest addations then. | 16:52 |
| ashwin_ | kroq, ok | 16:52 |
| ashwin_ | kroq, i've gone to system -> prefs -> network connections -> edit connection for eth0 -> shared to others | 16:52 |
| ashwin_ | this has worked in the past but just stopped recently | 16:52 |
| kroq-gar78 | Dr_Willis: yeah, but there's some special (as in weird, in my opinion) command that he has to run relating to mounting in with a vfs filesystem or something | 16:53 |
| BluesKaj | this is becoming annoying The authenticity of host '192.168.X,X can't be established. ,ECDSA key fingerprint is blahblahblah ...this used to pop up only once after a new install ,and it would autogenerate a rsa key if I answered "yes" , now it asks everytime I ssh into my other linuxbox ...any suggestions? | 16:53 |

| ChogyDan | bytesaber_work: yeah. Of course, it is fine to edit that file if you really know what you are doing, but update-grub is the way to do it | 17:17 |
| cantor | keapon, tail -f /var/log/syslog | 17:17 |
| cantor | then do something | 17:17 |
| bytesaber_work | ChogyDan, booed a live cd. mounted the to be root partition to /mnt. not sure what to do next. update-grup says "cannot find a device for /" | 17:18 |

| RediXe | Fresh install of 11.04 - Everything is working so far but the proprietary driver for my NVidia GT 240 shows "This driver is activated but not currently in use." ... Any ideas on how to get it to use the propietary driver? | 17:41 |
| Phr3d13 | galamar, nevermind, its not there | 17:41 |
| AndChat- | Cammy: when you last removed it from a system, did you safely remove it or did you just pull it out? | 17:42 |
| Cammy | It happens with both fresh SD cards and old ones that have been used many times | 17:43 |
| ChogyDan | RediXe: reinstall? reboot? | 17:43 |
| Cammy | The OS I use doesn't requre you to safely remove devices, just use common sense, and so they're fine | 17:43 |
| AndChat- | RediXe: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current then reboot not work? | 17:43 |
| galamar | Phr3d13, yeah I have scoured my file system plus google and cant find out where they are. problem is I have one that is not on userscripts.org anymore and I want to view the source. | 17:44 |
| Cammy | But that isn't the problem, ALL removable media that is FAT16 formatted is "read-only" on all of my Ubuntu and Kubuntu machines, I don't know why | 17:44 |
| middle | QUESTION: Is there anyway to make a program (a python script and awk in particular) use like 95% cpu power? | 17:45 |
| AndChat- | Cammy: it does, or you will get issues. If it wasn't needed it wouldn't be there. This is especially true of FAT based filesystems | 17:45 |
| Phr3d13 | galamar: home/<user name>/.config/google-chrome/Default/Extensions - show hidden folders to find .config folder | 17:45 |
| AndChat- | middle: use a low nice value like -15 | 17:45 |
| middle | AndChat-: Eh? | 17:45 |
| corn | how do you use UFW | 17:45 |
| middle | \Value for what? | 17:45 |
| Cammy | AndChat-, Please believe me, it's not required by Amiga OSs, and it is not the problem, It occurs on cards that have never even been used, as well as ones that have only been used in a digital camera | 17:45 |

| Phr3d13 | galamar, not sure, probably similar | 17:46 |
| AndChat- | Cammy: Linux will see the partition hasn't been gracefully removed so will mount readonly | 17:46 |

| Phr3d13 | has anyone ever gotten a pci vt6410 raid/ide card to work in ubuntu 10.10? | 17:47 |
| Cammy | Can you remember the two times I mentioned that it happens with all cards, not just ones that have been used in another OS before | 17:47 |
| corn | what is the ufw syntax for allowing tcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx to localhost port 22 tcp | 17:47 |
| AndroUsergdhfgjd | please help natty crashed for the third time , I will tell u the message it shows . guys please help me | 17:47 |
| AndChat- | Cammy: you can always tell the OS to remount writable. Your data will break withoutgracefully removing. It is needed. | 17:47 |
| corn | is there a UFW channel????? | 17:48 |
| oCean | corn: this is a good start: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | 17:48 |
| Cammy | AndChat-, Can you tell me how to remount the card as writable then? | 17:48 |
| middle | AndChat-: What were you saying? | 17:48 |
| Cammy | They're blank so it doesn';t matter about losing data | 17:48 |

| venik212 | I tried both | 18:34 |

| sudokill | venik212, you cant do anything other than format it / extend / shrink it | 18:34 |
| venik212 | and I want to reclaim the space it uses up | 18:35 |
| sudokill | youll have to extend it to another partition then | 18:35 |
| eli_ | gsb, i'm in the trash folder, from the home folder | 18:35 |
| venik212 | I want the other partition to use its space | 18:35 |
| redmenace | umm when will canonical put bzflag ver. 2.4 in the repositories? | 18:35 |
| kroq-gar78 | venik212: then go to the adjacent partitions and say "enlarge/shrink" | 18:35 |
| sudokill | venik212, is the unallocated space after the drive you want to extend, or before? | 18:36 |
| venik212 | after | 18:36 |
| kroq-gar78 | venik212: if the partition you want to enlarge is an EXT4 (not sure about 3 or 2), it's safe to do it while its mounted | 18:36 |
| === LittleFool is now known as LittleFool`off | ||
| kroq-gar78 | correct me if im wrong | 18:36 |
| venik212 | I tried what u suggest, but it won't let me change the size of the current partition to a larger one | 18:36 |
| sudokill | no i dont think it is | 18:36 |
| jaisoni | maco: thanks | 18:36 |
| mephibosheth | hey, what is the *recommended* way to configure software on different machines (different networks) which may or may not have internet access all the time? Would you roll the config files (e.g. /etc/ssh/...) into debs and install them? Is there any reason I shouldn't do this? | 18:36 |
| Pici | redmenace: Ubuntu normally imports packages from debian, I don't see bzflag 2.4 in debian. You can of course request that it be packaged for Ubuntu as well though. | 18:37 |
| sudokill | venik212, click the first partition and click extend | 18:37 |
| venik212 | even though to its right (after it) there is a huge unallocated space | 18:37 |
| eli_ | gsb thanks! | 18:37 |
| kroq-gar78 | venik212: what is the filesystem of the partition you're trying to enlarge | 18:37 |
| venik212 | ntfs | 18:37 |
| sudokill | venik212, youll hae to click the drive before the unallocated space and extend, not extend the unallocated spcae | 18:37 |

| ar0nic | maco well i was having troubles using the prop drivers | 18:40 |
| fission6 | is there a utility to pip text in and copy to clip board? like mac's pbcopy | 18:40 |

| ar0nic | so i turned off the prop drivers, and it fixed multiple displays issue, but i don tsee compiz anywhere | 18:40 |
| fission6 | cat somecrap | to_clip_board | 18:40 |
| sudokill | because i think you need prop for 3d | 18:40 |
| mephibosheth | Hmm, there may be issues. The first thing is that we are not deploying stock .debs, for some reason they will all be custom built, and all signatures, etc., will be specific to our servers. We will only install software from our own apt repositories, etc. | 18:40 |
| maco | ar0nic: you likely can't use compiz without them | 18:40 |

| ar0nic | cairowtf | 18:41 |
| maco | ar0nic: you can try "compiz --replace" in the alt+f2 window, i guess, but its might not work | 18:41 |
| ar0nic | thats bs | 18:41 |
| h00k | mephibosheth: Check the documentation, but I think that's certainly possible with Landscape | 18:41 |
| ar0nic | the prop drivers DONT WORK properly | 18:41 |
| kroq-gar78 | venik212: I don' | 18:41 |
| ar0nic | god every little thing i want to use deosnt work, continuing a long line of pissing me off while trying to use this | 18:41 |
| mephibosheth | hmm, ok thanks | 18:41 |
| maco | ar0nic: broken proprietary drivers don't magically make vesa support 3d though | 18:41 |
| CaptWho | anyone know how to shut down X in 10.04? | 18:41 |
| kroq-gar78 | t think that ubuntu (linux in general) has very good support for ntfs partitioning | 18:42 |
| h00k | mephibosheth: Integrate custom repositories. If you maintain your own repository, even internally, Landscape can report on and use the packages in it. | 18:42 |

| kroq-gar78 | think that linux can do ntfs shrink/enlarge very well | 18:42 |
| kroq-gar78 | I THINK | 18:42 |
| kroq-gar78 | but I have to go sorry | 18:42 |
| tarvid | vlc isn't doing it | 18:42 |
| ar0nic | maco the drivers wouldnt support proper multi dispaly | 18:42 |
| ar0nic | removing them made it work, | 18:42 |
| kroq-gar78 | i hope somebody else will help you | 18:42 |
| kroq-gar78 | if not you can post on the ubuntuforums.org | 18:43 |
| maco | ar0nic: well then you get to pick between 3d or multiple screens i guess | 18:43 |
| sudokill | venik212, gparted can extend ntfs fine | 18:43 |
| tarvid | am I missing plugins? should I use a differect program? | 18:43 |
| sudokill | try again | 18:43 |
| ar0nic | so im in a situation where i need multi display to work | 18:43 |
| venik212 | the partition I am trying to extend using gparted is the boot partition, ntfs | 18:43 |
| ar0nic | thats so lame | 18:43 |
| ar0nic | thanks again lambuntu | 18:43 |
| kroq-gar78 | sudokill: oh sorry I have outdated info :P | 18:43 |

| ar0nic | what maco | 18:44 |
| ar0nic | i have a supported card | 18:44 |
| venik212 | what does: Free space following (mb) mean? | 18:44 |
| maco | ar0nic: i said "better supported" | 18:44 |
| ar0nic | i know ati hd series are all supoprted | 18:44 |
| sudokill | venik212, thats how much to extend | 18:44 |
| venik212 | in the extend/shrink dialog of gparted | 18:44 |
| sudokill | venik212, paste your fdisk -l so i can see | 18:44 |
| maco | ar0nic: not all support on all cards is identical | 18:44 |

| LmAt | under "prepare guest. | 18:44 |
| LmAt | " | 18:44 |
| LmAt | My guest is Ubuntu (Linux) | 18:44 |
| sudokill | venik212, if its just 1 big unallocated space after the partition, just drag the line to the end | 18:44 |
| LmAt | The first three lines are fine. | 18:45 |
| venik212 | I tried-- it did not work | 18:45 |
| h00k | LmAt: you may be best to try #vbox, and try to keep all of your information on one line | 18:45 |
| sudokill | venik212, why is ubuntu on ntfs nayway? | 18:45 |
| LmAt | But on mount, it fails :( | 18:45 |
| ar0nic | maco, what im tryign to figure out, is why with those drivers, is it trying to make my hdmi monitor primary? | 18:45 |
| LmAt | h00k, Do you mean that I shouldn't press {enter} so much? | 18:45 |
| ar0nic | is there anywhere i can change it manually, to make my VGA monitor the desktop primary? | 18:45 |

| h00k | LmAt: it makes text difficult to follow, and you're welcome, good luck :) | 18:45 |
| maco | ar0nic: i dont know. i'm normally an Intel user. I came across an ATI card in 2008 that could do compiz on 2 screens, but no idea what that one was (and I think it only worked on 32bit, oddly enough) | 18:46 |
| venik212 | maybe I need to format the unallocated partition to ntfs-- maybe then it would let me drag the boundary | 18:46 |
| rww | I have an ATI card. I stay very very very very very far away from fglrx. | 18:46 |
| maco | ar0nic: but if its an ati card, then the "xrandr" command should be able to be used to set what's primary and how other screens relate to it (unlike nvidia) | 18:46 |
| ar0nic | maco im on 32bit, the ati prop drivers worked fine, it just would not let me assign my vga output as the primary | 18:46 |
| ar0nic | maco everytime i tried to launch that it would pop up and go away | 18:47 |
| maco | ar0nic: pop up? pop up...what? | 18:47 |
| maco | ar0nic: there's nothing for it to pop up. it's cli | 18:47 |
| sudokill | venik212, no | 18:47 |
| ar0nic | whenever i tried to launch xrandr in either terminal, or from alt f2, it wouldnt display anything | 18:47 |
| ar0nic | just shut down terminal | 18:47 |
| sudokill | venik212, you add the unallocated spcae to it | 18:47 |
| jaisoni | maco : I am in GUI livecd but how to log into my account into my profile | 18:47 |
| maco | ar0nic: from alt+f2 it will of course do nothing since it has no gui. from terminal it should show data like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/642825/ | 18:48 |
| ar0nic | i see it now maco | 18:48 |
| charles | hello | 18:48 |
| ar0nic | can i paste it to you know, and then paste it to you witht he prop drivers on? perhaps you can tell me how to change it? | 18:48 |
| maco | jaisoni: you dont need to login to it. just edit the file. mount the hard drive and go to where its mounted, tehn into home/youruser/ and edit the .profile file | 18:48 |
| ar0nic | pastbin of course* | 18:48 |
| maco | ar0nic: sure | 18:49 |

| ar0nic | sorry about being angry earlier i just get frustated easily with ubuntu, it seems i can never ever get a decent perfectly working install without jumping through hoops | 18:50 |
| venik212 | I tried that-- fdisk -l failed | 18:50 |
| maco | venik212: with sudo? | 18:50 |
| ar0nic | see i dont nkow how to change anything xrandr just displayed all of that, im gonna have to reboot to use the prop drivers, maco will you be here for a moment? | 18:51 |
| sudokill | venik212, just sudo fdisk -l | 18:51 |
| sudokill | sorry i always forget to say sudo | 18:51 |
| venik212 | yes-- that worked now | 18:51 |
| venik212 | where can I paste it? | 18:51 |
| maco | ar0nic: yep | 18:51 |
| maco | venik212: paste.ubuntu.com | 18:51 |
| ar0nic | it does show vga-0 and hdmi -0 so i imagine those are the display names im gonna wanna remember | 18:52 |
| sudokill | venik use pastebin if you dont have something installed to paste | 18:52 |
| maco | ar0nic: yep | 18:52 |
| venik212 | paste.ubuntu.com | 18:52 |
| sudokill | yea | 18:52 |
| sudokill | any paste site | 18:52 |
| ar0nic | maco, one more quick question please sir, how is this different than the catalyst, or system>pref>monitors | 18:52 |
| ar0nic | ? | 18:52 |
| maco | ar0nic: i think it should be: xrandr --output HDMI-0 --right-of VGA-0 to make VGA primary on the left | 18:52 |
| ar0nic | maco right now its working properly | 18:52 |
| ar0nic | i used the monitor option under pref, and chose to make this default (vga) and dragged the hdmi screen to the left. | 18:53 |
| maco | ar0nic: ma'am actually ;-) and i don't know how the catalyst thing works, but the sys -> pref -> monitors is just a gui for xrandr, except it just has the bare minimum common functions. xrandr can do things like add new resolutions and such | 18:53 |
| ar0nic | sorrry ma'am | 18:53 |
| venik212 | sudo-- the fdisk results are in: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3902878/fdisk.txt | 18:54 |
| ar0nic | ok well brb, i wont have that pastebin link | 18:54 |
| ar0nic | maco it would be backwards, vga on right, hdmi on left | 18:54 |
| maco | ar0nic: ok then --left-of | 18:55 |
| sudokill | venik212, ok so it looks like its ntfs not unallocated | 18:55 |
| sudokill | venik212, go into gparted, choose the 2nd partition and choose delete (so it becomes unallocated) then click the 1st ntfs and extend it | 18:55 |
| sudokill | just drag that bar all the way along | 18:56 |
| taar779 | Hello, could someone help me fixed a issue I'm having with suspend on ubuntu 11.04? Whenever I suspend my laptop or close the lid, I have to hard reset to get it to work again. Any ideas? Thanks! | 18:56 |
| ar0nic | maco, i just turned back on my hdmi monitor | 18:56 |
| ar0nic | still seems to be working, it just threw my dock half way across the screen tho | 18:56 |
| ar0nic | lol | 18:56 |
| venik212 | sudo-- that is precisely hwat I have been trying for the past 20 minutes | 18:56 |
| venik212 | The right partition is UNALLOCATED | 18:56 |
| sudokill | venik212, and whats it say when you go to do it? | 18:56 |
| ar0nic | and now my dock doesnt work properly, its split between to screens *bangs head | 18:57 |
| sudokill | venik212, but fdisk shows ntfs maybe fdisk is wrong | 18:57 |
| venik212 | it opens a dialog, | 18:57 |
| ar0nic | maco do you mind if pm you, i get lost in this wall of text | 18:57 |
| ar0nic | i dont see so well =\ | 18:57 |
| maco | ar0nic: sure | 18:57 |
| jaisoni | maco : I am still stuck it does not show my account | 18:57 |
| maco | sudokill: i think gparted is more likely to be wrong than fdisk | 18:57 |
| venik212 | which lets me SHRINK the ntfs partition, but not extend it | 18:58 |
| maco | jaisoni: from the live cd, can you mount the hard drive? | 18:58 |
| maco | jaisoni: the live cd should automatically go to a desktop, no login involved | 18:58 |
| sudokill | venik212, ok the partitions are in the wrong order then | 18:58 |
| venik212 | what can I do about that? | 18:58 |
| sudokill | venik212, in gparted where is the unallocated space? right at the end? and you have 3 partitions yes? | 18:58 |

| LmAt | sudokill, What's the opposite of su? | 19:02 |
| sudokill | venik212, i have no idea what else to say and have no idea why its not working. if its 100% def unallocated then it should be very easy | 19:02 |
| venik212 | I only wanted to use the middle one, which has 292 gb | 19:02 |
| jimcooncat | LmAt: there's also "sudo -i" which won't require you to enable a root password | 19:02 |
| sudokill | LmAt, there isnt one, su changes to root or you can do su user to change to any user | 19:02 |
| IRsee | LmAt The # (root) and the $ (user) just signify which user you are in the bash shee, you only use sudo if you need access to a command that requires root or esclated priviledges to run. you can run commands as a normal user, without the use of sudo. so if you wanted to list a directory you just use ls | 19:02 |
| LmAt | sudokill, So, sudo is like running "su" "command" "su user" ? | 19:02 |
| venik212 | I agree-- I tried many times b4 I came to bother the experts | 19:02 |
| venik212 | maybe I shall boot from a CD and try it again | 19:02 |
| LmAt | IRsee, Thanks. | 19:02 |
| sudokill | LmAt, sudo does root stuff, but ubuntu has no root account so you have to use sudo | 19:02 |
| sudokill | same thing | 19:02 |
| venik212 | I had tried that b4, and it did not work, but maybe it will work this time | 19:02 |
| sudokill | but user password instead of (non existent) root password | 19:02 |
| Dulak | sudokill: you can get a root shell with sudo -i | 19:03 |
| sudokill | yes | 19:03 |
| IRsee | sudokill ubuntu does have a root account just do sudo su - | 19:03 |
| venik212 | I am thinking that maybe it fails because it is the Vista boot partition? | 19:03 |
| IRsee | or | 19:03 |
| IRsee | sudo /bin/bash | 19:03 |
| LmAt | sudokill, Non existent root password? My root has a password. | 19:03 |
| sudokill | IRsee, afaik its locked, try logging in as root | 19:03 |
| LmAt | sudokill, Is that abnormal? | 19:03 |
| sudokill | LmAt, you can set one, its to encourage people not to log in as root | 19:03 |
| IRsee | sudo su - then passwd to set a root password | 19:03 |
| sudokill | only a few distros lock root | 19:03 |
| Pici | !noroot | 19:03 |

| LmAt | sudokill, Thank you very much. | 19:13 |
| sudokill | you cant su because theres no root | 19:14 |
| sudokill | any more | 19:14 |
| maco | jaisoni: thats because Places -> File System is relative to the *running* system -- the live cd | 19:14 |
| maco | jaisoni: in My Computer, do you see your hard drive listed? | 19:14 |
| v0lksman | how do you tell what repo a package came from? | 19:14 |

| jaisoni | maco . yes i see it | 19:14 |
| maco | jaisoni: double click it | 19:14 |
| jaisoni | maco : I did that | 19:14 |
| sudokill | LmAt, google it, it doesnt matter tbh. use sudo -i for a lot of root stuff in a terminal or just use sudo for individual things | 19:15 |

| fishscene | PeterJclaw, what do you need to know about LDAP? I'm not an expert, but I have done some integration of Ubuntu and Microsoft AD. | 19:18 |
| jaisoni | maco : will upgrade solve from 11.04 to 11.04 solve the problem | 19:18 |
| jaisoni | I have lost hope | 19:18 |
| maco | jaisoni: please show me the output of "mount" | 19:19 |

| maco | jaisoni: no, upgrading will not magically fix a bad file in a user's directory. deleting it would cause it to be regenerated though | 19:20 |
| matt08642 | Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me how to change my default sound output device?? I am using fluxbox with Ubuntu | 19:20 |
| maco | jaisoni: explaining how to get to the hard drive through the graphical thing is proving to be too hard. show me what "mount" says and itll be easy | 19:20 |
| PeterJCLaw | fishscene: I've tried using the instructions at http://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/OpenLDAPSetup to reset the baseDN, though this didn't fix it; I also removed & re-installed & tried following http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html also without success | 19:21 |

| ar0nic | does anyone here know how to setup ati card with multi desktops and compiz | 19:29 |
| fishscene | crystalvco: Although this solution isn't ubuntu-related, you might want to give "clonezilla" a look. It's a free disk/partition imaging system that works with local disks/partitions and can clone from drive-to-drive, partition-to-partition, or drive/partition-to-network share. | 19:29 |
| ar0nic | with out the prop drivers, the multi desktop works just fine, yet i cannot get compiz working | 19:29 |
| ar0nic | with the prop drivers, you guessed it, no compiz, no proper multi display | 19:30 |
| crystaltvco | fishscene: thanks I was concerned that with the way grub is configured there might be a problem | 19:30 |
| ar0nic | so either way, no compiz. | 19:30 |
| fishscene | crystalvco: If you do a disk-image, it will grab exactly whatever is on the drive. :) | 19:30 |
| crystaltvco | fishscene: right on.. thanks | 19:31 |
| roasted | Has anybody bonded network interfaces before on Ubuntu? I'm curious if someone could help clear the air for me on a few things. | 19:31 |
| crystaltvco | fishscene: but if I only have 2 sata cables, as that is all I need, I can power down, disconnect the ubuntu drive, attach the new blank drive, clonezilla it and then put it all back so I have 2 drives with xp and linux right? | 19:32 |

| Pici | Justice: pastebinit is in the repositories | 19:33 |

| fishscene | crystaltvco: Make sure the new XP drive attaches to the same cable as the old XP drive after you clone. As far as I know, that should work. If it doesn't, you can always place the old XP drive in there. This is non-destructive :) | 19:34 |

| canu-qumm | hey there | 20:09 |
| kencoumerilh | hey — new to this | 20:09 |
| kencoumerilh | have a question | 20:09 |
| canu-qumm | kencoumerilh: new to ubuntu? or irc? | 20:09 |
| kencoumerilh | irc | 20:09 |
| canu-qumm | kencoumerilh: fire out (: | 20:10 |
| kencoumerilh | I got a message to install updates. did that, but on reboot it doesn't come up. | 20:10 |
| kencoumerilh | just hangs on black screen. First couple times I got a message about not beingn able to open /dev/null, but now nothing | 20:10 |
| canu-qumm | Update manager? you can set it as a startup app | 20:10 |
| canu-qumm | damn i hate these notification messages. | 20:11 |
| kencoumerilh | How do I recover though | 20:11 |
| kencoumerilh | I can no longer boot up ubuntu | 20:11 |
| fishscene | kencoumerilh: Just to clarify, After installing updates, Ubuntu does not get to the login screen? | 20:11 |
| kencoumerilh | yes, doesn't get to anything at all. I get a flicker on the screen and it stays black with a cursor in the corner | 20:12 |
| kencoumerilh | I can alt-f1 and log in and startx, but have no network then. | 20:12 |
| fishscene | Kencoumerilh: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Was it a distro upgrade? | 20:12 |
| kencoumerilh | 11.04 | 20:12 |

| urthmover | thanks | 20:13 |
| kencoumerilh | np | 20:13 |
| fishscene | kencoumerilh: I'm not very well trained in this kind of recovery, sorry mate. | 20:14 |
| kencoumerilh | ya, me too | 20:14 |
| guntbert | !nomodeset | kencoumerilh you could try that: | 20:14 |
| ubottu | kencoumerilh you could try that:: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:14 |
| kencoumerilh | thanks | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | kencoumerilh, reboot, hold down the shift key right after the bios scrn til grub appears , choose recovery kernel , then in the dialog choose "repair broken packages" then reboot normally | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | kencoumerilh, or do the nomodeset routine as guntbert suggested | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | at grub | 20:15 |
| bytesaber_work | is there some purist way of adding "chainloder +1" to some of my grub.cfg entries, or can i just override and edit the file? | 20:15 |

| Somelauw | Hi, I launched some java programs and closed them again but for some reason java is still running? | 21:29 |
| Graeleight | bingo! thanks. | 21:29 |
| Somelauw | Does java somehow keep itself available or something? | 21:29 |
| Somelauw | It is wasting about 40% of my cpu whereas I closed all applications except this irc client and htop. | 21:30 |

| ActionParsnip | jam3s_: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 21:31 |
| fishscene | BluesKaj: If "lspci" detects it, but it doesn't show up in "ifconfig" What does that mean? | 21:31 |
| Somelauw | grub-help: Yes, but I don't see that program in top anymore. I only see java. | 21:31 |
| robin0800 | fishscene, I have the same card and I find it just works perhaps a reboot will sort it | 21:32 |
| martino_ | #ac100 | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | fishscene, lshw -C network . show what ' product ' has | 21:32 |
| grub-help | i don't know then Somelauw try loging out and back in | 21:32 |
| Somelauw | And although I can probably just kill java I wonder what it is doing. | 21:32 |
| BluesKaj | fishscene, sudo lshw -C network | 21:32 |
| fishscene | Jigal_: That's your cue. :) | 21:33 |

| PawnStar | the new black window borders look nice in the screenshots | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jam3s_: try adding: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then rebooting | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jam3s_: if that fails, remove it and try: options snd-hda-intel model=mobile | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | jam3s_: failing that, try: options snd-hda-intel model=hp | 21:36 |
| jam3s_ | ActionParsnip: thank you, will report back here in a few! | 21:36 |

| mrdeb | is it better to get 2gb or 1gb. 1gb ischeaper | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: ram is cheap, get 2Gb | 21:37 |
| mrdeb | its $10 more | 21:37 |
| mrdeb | almost double | 21:37 |
| rww | $10 isn't a lot of money. | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: exactly, thats noting and the benefits are great | 21:37 |
| mrdeb | well it is if you think its double | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: I'd buy elsewhere then, ram is stupidly cheap now | 21:37 |
| rww | no it isn't | 21:37 |
| mrdeb | ok | 21:38 |
| mrdeb | does ubuntu work well with radeon 3000 | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdeb: what RAM do you need? | 21:38 |
| mrdeb | open driver | 21:38 |
| mrdeb | dont worry i will find that | 21:38 |
| Jigal_ | fishscene, i get unable to resolve host | 21:38 |
| rww | mrdeb: I have a 3450 and it works fine | 21:39 |

Whenever I try to open a folder or a program tries to launch one, a prompt comes up for persmission to open 'nautilus '/path/to/folder/" asking for my password. It raises privilege and forces me to browse nautilus as root. Really annoying to have to put in the pass everytime I just want to browse/open a folder and I dont' want to be going into root like this all the ti | 21:59 |

| Gskellig | whats the easiest way to edit the grub menu? | 22:02 |
| intlkleinblue | ^H^H^H^H | 22:02 |
| druntar | Hey folks, I had a complex question, but looking for more resources that I can read. Google hasn't produced much help. | 22:02 |
| rhin0 | gskellig the grub menu is in a file -- use an editor like nano | 22:02 |
| rhin0 | not sure where it is but grub configuration is just a flat file | 22:02 |
| Gskellig | there was some software I found awhile ago | 22:03 |
| rhin0 | nano is a basic editor available from the bash shell for ascii textfiles -- just 'nano <filename>' | 22:03 |
| Gskellig | for instance if i want to change the order of stuff in the grub menu, or if i want to remove something | 22:03 |
| rhin0 | edither that or gedit using the gui | 22:03 |
| druntar | I'm wanting to use ubuntu 11.04 to cluster 4 machines into a minecraft server. My main issue is the clustering. I need better instruction on how to actually do it, and which flavor of ubuntu would work best. | 22:03 |
| Gskellig | minecraft: without it #ubuntu would have less than 1000 users | 22:03 |
| druntar | lol | 22:04 |
| === Jack87 is now known as Jack87|Away | ||
| druntar | Right now I'm doing it off a single machine, but just not enough ram. I figure clustering some machines I have laying around will help with that issue and give me a nice strong server to goof around on. | 22:04 |
| druntar | So far hours of googling has only produced one guide based on hardy | 22:05 |
| rhin0 | i think you have to talk to people on minecraft forums -- contact the people who have clusters druntar | 22:05 |
| KSHawkEye | Does anyone know what package the io.h header file is part of? | 22:05 |
| viku | plz tell me how to hack someone gmail acct ? | 22:05 |
| rhin0 | viku that is off topic | 22:05 |
| druntar | It's not a minecraft issue I want this cluster to do other things eventually too. It's first purpose will be as a minecraft server. | 22:06 |
| viku | rhin0 why ? | 22:06 |
| hittt | http://paste.ubuntu.com/642919/ <-- please help, the mouse keeps crashing every few seconds, i know nothing about usb drivers and stuff | 22:06 |
| KNUBBIG | I sense trolling | 22:06 |

| viku | kkkkkkkkkkkkk | 22:07 |
| rhin0 | its probably part of most things that need compiling as C --- not sure if it is in a package at all | 22:07 |

| Jigal_ | found the switch | 22:09 |

| afeijo | hi folks, I have a few problems in my new ubuntu 11: I cannot resize nor move any window!! | 22:10 |
| afeijo | unity + compiz, cube working | 22:10 |
| rhin0 | afeijo: you may have a problem with compiz/unity -- switch to "classic view" to see if it works then | 22:11 |
| Snarsh | ccsm and enable resize in the options, betting thats what it is | 22:11 |
| === sysop_ is now known as saythein | ||
| Snarsh | also enable move | 22:11 |
| afeijo | Snarsh, alt tab dont work too! I can find all that in ccsm? I'll search | 22:12 |
| Snarsh | Move Window and Resize Window are under Window Management in ccsm | 22:12 |
| afeijo | great! move is back | 22:12 |
| afeijo | lol, omg | 22:12 |
| afeijo | resize is back | 22:13 |
| Snarsh | i believe alt tab is static application switcher? | 22:13 |
| afeijo | THANKS³³³ Snarsh | 22:13 |
| Snarsh | no problem heh, also had to endure the same problems trying to get the cube working | 22:13 |
| bsmith093 | i just reinstalled lucid how do i resotre my sources list file so it works, becasue apparently i can't just replace the current one with the backup i have. | 22:13 |
| afeijo | pretty buggy unity+compiz, isnt it | 22:13 |
| Phr3d13 | anyone in here using a pci vt6410 raid/ide card? | 22:14 |

| Snarsh | not once you get it completely set up, i have unity, compiz, and the cube finally all set correctly and no problems anymore. took some work getting there though, heh | 22:14 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: nope, I suspect you won't be too as it's a terrible card under linux | 22:14 |
| krazykrivda | Any advice for this webcam/gstreamer error > http://paste.ubuntu.com/642939/ ? | 22:14 |
| afeijo | orchata, yes | 22:15 |

| chewyTree | Anyone here have any knowledge of wine? company of heroes installed properly..it just wont boot...suggestions? | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | chewyTree: did you check the appdb? | 22:48 |
| h00k | !wine | chewyTree | 22:48 |
| ubottu | chewyTree: 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 | 22:48 |
| chewyTree | h00k, i did, no response. ive been asking there the whole day | 22:49 |
| chewyTree | ActionParsnip, meaning to see if its been installed? | 22:49 |
| untermensch | ActionParsnip: got it working. thank you :) | 22:50 |
| h00k | !appdb chewyTree | check out the !appdb to see if it's listed | 22:50 |
| h00k | !appdb | chewyTree check out the !appdb to see if it's listed | 22:50 |

| ActionParsnip | chewyTree: no, to check compatibility with wine | 22:50 |

| ActionParsnip | untermensch: sweet | 22:50 |
| h00k | :) | 22:50 |
| chewyTree | ahhh | 22:51 |
| chewyTree | its listed as Gold | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | untermensch: is it working as the original user, or the new user? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | chewyTree: ok there may be a how-to on the same page, scroll downm | 22:51 |
| chewyTree | ActionParsnip, Ya i instaleld both the DLL and the other thing, still it just doesnt boot | 22:51 |
| Phr3d13 | chewyTree, did you use winetricks and install any directx requirements? | 22:52 |
| chewyTree | Phr3d13, Yes i did that aswell | 22:52 |
| untermensch | ActionParsnip: I felt lucky, so I just logged back in as my original user, and it works fine now | 22:52 |
| untermensch | ActionParsnip: started up, i could pin it to the toolbar, and it has an icon (the last time it would stay on the toolbar it was just black where the icon should've been) | 22:53 |
| Phr3d13 | 1.2 or 1.3? | 22:53 |
| Phr3d13 | chewyTree, wine 1.2 or 1.3? | 22:54 |
| chewyTree | Phr3d13, 1.3 | 22:55 |

| PatrickC | I installed it using wubi and gave myself 20GB | 22:57 |
| PatrickC | I have 1TB free | 22:58 |
| PatrickC | I want to allocate more space to ubuntu | 22:58 |
| Phr3d13 | chewyTree, try using winetricks to add the two vcrun packages | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | untermensch: sweet, always nice | 22:58 |
| aeon-ltd | PatrickC: how did you use wubi? dual boot or install inside windows (pseudo dual boot) | 22:58 |
| chewyTree | Phr3d13, its just weird | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | untermensch: If you add the daily build ppa you wil get nice beta features ;) | 22:58 |
| PatrickC | aeon-ltd: full dualboot? | 22:58 |
| rww | PatrickC: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1625371 may work, but I haven't used it before. You really should consider switching from Wubi to an actual dualboot. | 22:58 |
| PatrickC | I have to actually power down to boot into windows | 22:59 |
| Phr3d13 | chewyTree, vcrun2003 and vcrun2010 | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | PatrickC: removing old kernels helps, you can use bleachbit to clear files off, close as many apps as you can | 22:59 |
| aeon-ltd | PatrickC: then you can use a partition manager like gparted to expand and shrink partitions to your liking | 22:59 |
| PatrickC | cool | 22:59 |
| PatrickC | thanks all! | 22:59 |

| Phr3d13 | chewyTree, did you follow this guide? http://www.wine-reviews.net/games/company-of-heroes-on-linux-with-wine.html | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: is it only banshee that freezes? | 23:15 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, yeah, or just shuts off randomly. | 23:15 |
| chewyTree | Phr3d13, no. I will now, i ran it in terminal and was looking at the output..apaprently im missing another dll? so lets see. | 23:15 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, it happens on 3 different 11.04 systems. | 23:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, rhythmbox works fine. I'm just trying to get banshee to work to see what it's like. | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: have you tested your RAM? | 23:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I tested my RAM about 6 months ago. | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: oh, the app just dies. Not the system shuts off | 23:16 |
| Roasted | Mind you, 3 different systems... and one of the 1 I JUST tested my RAM about 2 weeks ago. | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: does it happen as another user? | 23:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, yes. Banshee also seems very slow. If I add 1 song to a playlist, it lags for a good 5-6 seconds. | 23:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, not sure, like I said 3 different systems though... | 23:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I'm using rhythmbox and its working perfectly. I just find it hard to believe banshee is this bad. I hear a lot of users speak highly of it. | 23:18 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, but I have 5-6 second lags when I click on anything. rbox? nadda. | 23:18 |
