| ActionParsnip | saruji: is your OS 64bit? | 00:00 |
| Jeruvy | saruji: you cannot install windows programs on linux, if you want to try it using Wine, that may well work | 00:00 |

| saruji | ActionParsnip, yes i have 64 bit 11.04 ubuntu | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: and is the game 64bit? | 00:01 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, no it is 32 bit, i see where I am going wrong, but is there a way to run 32 bit games in a 64 bit OS? | 00:01 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, like windows does | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: you may get joy with ia32-libs | 00:02 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ^ that | 00:02 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, sweet, sudo apt-get install ia32 ? | 00:02 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | saruji: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ia32-libs | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Package ia32-libs does not exist in natty | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | hmm | 00:02 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: this sort if thing is why 32bit is recommended | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: there are ways to run 32bit apps in 64bit OS though | 00:03 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | ActionParsnip: saruji: apt-cache search ia32-libs : ia32-libs - ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems | 00:03 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | its there but i think its not in ubottu :p | 00:03 |

| saruji | ActionParsnip, same error, thanks for trying | 00:06 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | saruji: what error? | 00:06 |
| ozzloy | i can kill Xorg, but this has happened several times in the last few days. i'm no Xorg expert so i don't know where logs are, or if there are any that would be helpful. please give pointers like that if you have any | 00:06 |

| ozzloy | Dr_Willis, saruji i'll try those places. robin0800 i'll try that too. | 00:10 |
| saruji | also says "this driver is activated but not currently in use" ? | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C display; dpkg -l | grep nvidia; cat /etc/lsb-release Thanks | 00:13 |
| snake__ | ActionParsnip, Sorry, I took so long, I was trying to find it in my manuals. i didn't, but here's that output: http://pastebin.com/en0HNRVS | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | snake__: ok then run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current should be ok. You may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig to make an xorg.conf and restart X or the system to apply | 00:15 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, display http://pastebin.com/Jpu0Cnfi | 00:16 |
| szal | ActionParsnip: proper activation of the proprietary nVidia driver usually requires a reboot | 00:17 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | question; does ubuntu server support alternate cpufreq governers? Or is that an ubuntu-desktop-only thing? | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: you can just restart X too, quicker | 00:18 |

| cypha | is there a way to half-tab? (4 spaces) | 00:19 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, lol ok i was not sure | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | cypha, that would be a text editor setting | 00:19 |
| cypha | or can "shift+space" be able to do that? | 00:19 |
| cypha | Dr_Willis, can I do that in vim? | 00:19 |
| Dr_Willis | cypha, very likely yes.. you can do most everything else under the sun in vim. | 00:19 |
| snake__ | how do you restart x? is that just log in log out? | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | given ive seen whole books written on vi and vim. :) its got an amazing feature set. | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | snake__, 'sudo service gdm restart' is one way | 00:20 |
| Dr_Willis | snake__, but ive seen cases where the nvidia drivers need a reboot to get going.. | 00:20 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Fehc9ZLW | 00:20 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | dli: When I run cpufreq-info, it says "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" for all 4 cores. This is 2.6.32-32-generic-pae #62; stock | 00:21 |
| dli | AlanJCastonguay_, what's your cpu? | 00:21 |
| Dr_Willis | AlanJCastonguay_, could be its not a feature in the pae kernel. How much ram you got? | 00:21 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | dli: 2 Intel Xeon 2.8; do you need the cpuid stuffs? | 00:22 |
| dli | AlanJCastonguay_, no, I just wonder whether xeon support cpufreq | 00:22 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | dli: Only 1GB stuffed. I don't know why it decided to use PAE. | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | saruji: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot | 00:23 |
| saruji | ActionParsnip, ok thanks | 00:23 |
| dli | AlanJCastonguay_, I think you can specific which kernel package to use: apt-cache search linux-image | 00:23 |
| psusi | AlanJCastonguay_, the only difference between server and desktop is what packages come installed... mostly gui vs servers | 00:24 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | psusi: Same kernel image, though? | 00:25 |
| el_bb | so I am using the 11.04 alternate amd64 cd because i don't want X to be installed automatically. And the Installer just arrives at "Select and Install Software" and doesn't let me select anything? | 00:25 |
| dli | psusi, his hardware is server also | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | pae kernel - is normally for 32bit systems with more then 4gb of ram. | 00:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !pae | 00:25 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 00:25 |
| psusi | AlanJCastonguay_, yea | 00:26 |
| dli | AlanJCastonguay_, I guess your xeon doesn't support cpufreq, after all, you paid for server speed, no need to save on electricity | 00:26 |
| AlanJCastonguay_ | dli: Booo. I was actually hoping to just make it a little /quieter/ while sitting next to it for a few months. No need for this much CPU speed at the moment. | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | a quick google for xenon support cpufreq has a few interesting hits... | 00:27 |
| Dr_Willis | most interesting i saw so far --> http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/liaai/cpufreq/CPUFreqDriver.htm | 00:28 |

| hammoommah | morning peoples, i got a new hd today and i want to copy entire op system onto it from old one, whats the easiest way to do this? | 00:47 |
| hammoommah | copy *.* lol | 00:47 |
| Dulak | hammoommah: that is more complicated than it seems. The easiest is to install fresh on the new drive, then copy over you /home dir from the old drive to the new one. | 00:48 |
| szal | Dulak: you're slow :P | 00:49 |
| Dulak | szal: yup | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | I'd use rsync | 00:49 |
| fishscene | hammoommah: Another option that I've had lots of success with is filezilla | 00:50 |
| hammoommah | ok coolies | 00:50 |
| Spudnut | Does anyone know what the best way to get the drivers for the canon pixma mp490 is? | 00:50 |

| histo | hammoommah: no you can copy the files | 00:50 |
| histo | hammoommah: I would recomend using something like rsync | 00:51 |
| hammoommah | kk | 00:51 |
| histo | hammoommah: or you could dd from one drive to the other but be carefull with that. | 00:51 |
| hammoommah | eparted cant drive copy? | 00:51 |
| hammoommah | dd? | 00:51 |
| Dulak | you said easiest, not fastest | 00:51 |
| paulie | does anyone know how to sync FF with google nexus? | 00:52 |
| Dulak | dd would be the fastest but you have to do some stuff to grow the partitions to match the new sizes you'd want on the new drive | 00:52 |
| hammoommah | i dont want to fresh install as i need all apps downloaded again :( so i'll try using rsync............ hello google | 00:52 |
| histo | hammoommah: dd if=/dev/sdx(of old drive) of=/dev/sdx(new hard drive) | 00:52 |
| fishscene | paulie: You need Firefox on the Nexus. | 00:52 |
| histo | hammoommah: if the new drive is bigger you'll want to use rsync | 00:53 |
| Charybdis | I'd suggest dcfldd over dd, it will show you your progress. | 00:53 |
| fishscene | clonezilla automatically grows the drive if the new drive is bigger. | 00:53 |
| hammoommah | thanks @histo | 00:53 |
| Dulak | hammoommah: ok, hit me up when you screw it up and you are installing from scratch anyways. G'luck. | 00:53 |
| histo | hammoommah: boot to a live cd partition the new drive. then rsync the old drives conetents to the new ones | 00:53 |
| hammoommah | good idea | 00:53 |
| histo | hammoommah: or clonezilla is a viable option if you are unsure | 00:53 |
| hammoommah | thanks for advice poeples | 00:53 |
| fishscene | NP o/ good luck mate. | 00:53 |
| hammoommah | ive heard thats pretty good | 00:53 |
| paulie | I have but the instruction FF give are different fishscene | 00:54 |

| vivian | FriGiN: what do you mean by "getting feedback"? | 01:16 |

| allowoverride | histo: where did you find that info? how do you know? site your source ;) | 01:27 |
| allowoverride | just to let you know, im not a noob, however, this bluetooth issue didnt exist prior to upgrading, i just noticed yesterday when i wanted to transfer some files via obex | 01:28 |
| vivian | ActionParsnip: do I add it at the end of the file? | 01:28 |
| cmyers | I am running natty, installed ratpoison, only to see that when I run a terminal, it runs GNOME TERMINAL. wtf? Does anyone know how to change this? | 01:28 |
| allowoverride | i have a dell, bout 2 yrs old, the bluetooth light is not on, which means, the kernel is most likely the issue. | 01:28 |
| allowoverride | some mod, maybe hcisomething,, | 01:28 |
| cmyers | I strings'd the binary, "gnome" isn't in it anywhere | 01:28 |
| cmyers | and the package contains no obvious rc file | 01:28 |
| histo | allowoverride: from your pastebin it can't locate the bluez daemon | 01:28 |
| allowoverride | histo: true | 01:28 |
| allowoverride | when i try to run it, i get that error | 01:29 |
| histo | allowoverride: when you try to run what? | 01:29 |
| allowoverride | i believe the hardware is not being recongnize | 01:29 |
| allowoverride | bluetoothd, did you know thats what needs to be run? | 01:29 |
| allowoverride | or sudo service bluetooth start, or sudo bluetooth start | 01:29 |

| bazhang | allowoverride, follow the channel guidelines | 01:31 |
| allowoverride | brb | 01:31 |
| histo | allowoverride: actually I believe bluetooth is now handled by udev. So you may need to do it a different way | 01:32 |
| aeiou | for a keyless ssh login, i want to add my .pub key to the remotes autorized_hosts right? | 01:32 |
| histo | allowoverride: please check this out see if it helps specifically the bluetoothd -u parts | 01:32 |
| odix | their wouldnt be any issues cloning a drive using dd to a hybrid drive correCt/ | 01:33 |
| histo | aeiou: ssh-copy-id will put it in the appropriate place | 01:33 |
| histo | odix: other than the partition size will remain the same as the old drive | 01:33 |
| allowoverride | histo: i only have bluetooth , not bluez when i tab complete service.. start | 01:33 |
| odix | how is that bad ? | 01:33 |
| aeiou | histo, ah nice! | 01:34 |
| allowoverride | histo: opps i missed that... ill check | 01:34 |
| histo | allowoverride: yes as I said bluetooth is now part of udev so check that link | 01:34 |
| allowoverride | what link? | 01:34 |
| histo | allowoverride: I was thinking of the old way I haven't used bluetooth in ages. | 01:34 |
| histo | allowoverride: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,77723.0.html | 01:34 |
| histo | aeiou: yeah nifty little script | 01:34 |
| allowoverride | i got distracted, and didnt see a link, paste link again? i dont see it | 01:34 |
| vivian | ActionParsnip: hi, I'm back. I added that line at the end of the file (I don't know if the location matters) and the sound is still squeaking :( | 01:34 |
| histo | allowoverride: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,77723.0.html | 01:35 |
| vivian | ActionParsnip: is there any other tweaking you could think about? | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | vivian: you'll need things to add to that file to make it good, i suggest you remove the added line as it isn't benefitting you | 01:35 |
| odix | histo: i can't get it to load | 01:35 |
| odix | histo, the operating system isnt even viewable it seems | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | vivian: look for your laptop model with regards to alsa-base.conf you may find code to add like the one I gave you | 01:36 |
| allowoverride | histo: service bluez start bluez: unrecognized service | 01:36 |
| allowoverride | histo: bluez is already the newest version. | 01:36 |
| histo | odix: I would confirm that the data was actually copied and you didn't reverse the dd command | 01:36 |
| odix | it is copied.. | 01:36 |
| histo | allowoverride: keep reading on that page as they sugest bluetoothd -u | 01:36 |
| vivian | ActionParsnip: in the forums? | 01:36 |
| odix | i dunno...its weird | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | histo: thats always a nightmare | 01:36 |
| allowoverride | i also chk'd bios/cmos and bluetooth is anabled | 01:37 |
| allowoverride | oh... ok,, brb | 01:37 |
| ChipDSnow | Hey all. I'm looking to write a little script that will allow me to run a program under a different directory. Any pointers on where I can read up on scripting under Ubuntu? | 01:37 |
| histo | allowoverride: if that doesn't work I would search the forums. I'm not that up to date with bluetooth | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | vivian: the web at large, even for different distros. alsa is alsa in any distro | 01:37 |
| ChipDSnow | <-- Noob, btw. | 01:37 |
| allowoverride | histo: ok, blueman is installed as well | 01:37 |
| vivian | ActionParsnip: got it, thanks for helping :) | 01:37 |
| allowoverride | brb | 01:37 |
| allowoverride | oh ok,,, histo thanks anyway,,, anyone else feel free to jump in with my bluetooth issue | 01:37 |
| ohzie | Hey everyone. Has anyone noticed weirdness with the BM4312 chipset in ubuntu? My wireless connects momentarily, and then dies, and the password stops working. | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | allowoverride: if you run: bluetooth do you get an icon in the system tray? | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: when it drops. Run: dmesg | tail it may give clues | 01:38 |
| histo | !bluetooth | allowoverride | 01:38 |
| ubottu | allowoverride: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 01:38 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: Thank you! I will try this! =] | 01:39 |
| allowoverride | histo: been there.... | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ChipDSnow: do you mean run a command and have it manipulate files in a different directory? your question seems muddled | 01:39 |
| allowoverride | im gonna try bluetoothd -u | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: common causes of that sort of thing are busy wireless channel or ipv6 causing issues | 01:39 |
| allowoverride | histo: ok, that got sudo service bluetooth status to show, bluetooth is running,,,ill try blueman now | 01:40 |
| allowoverride | brb | 01:40 |
| ChipDSnow | I've discovered the joys of Nethack, and I want to drop to command line, type in one command, and have it run. | 01:40 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: I'm not using ipv6(that I'm aware of) and it works fine on the HP laptop and the Asus laptop. | 01:40 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: I'm suspecting the chipset is weird because I've just heard that sometimes the bm43xx stuff has been weird in linux. | 01:40 |
| allowoverride | histo: ok, blueman starts, nothing is listed, and the light on dell laptop is still off | 01:41 |
| ohzie | It is perfectly possible that I am incorrect. | 01:41 |
| allowoverride | i have the service to start, but not with -u per update-rc.d bluetooth enable | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: i'd disable ipv6 using boot option: ipv6.disable=1 it may help | 01:41 |
| allowoverride | brb | 01:41 |
| allowoverride | rebooting | 01:41 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: Do I put that in my kernel line? In grub? | 01:41 |
| ohzie | or lilo | 01:41 |
| ohzie | it's grub now right? | 01:41 |
| wabznasm | ohzie: check first with ip a | grep inet6 | 01:42 |
| ohzie | wabznasm: Yessir I have that turned on. | 01:42 |
| wabznasm | ohzie: worth turning off - can do it by boot as ActionParsnip said but also possible to do it another way that I did 2 days ago and now cant find... | 01:42 |
| ohzie | wabznasm: Where would I put that boot option? | 01:43 |
| Trasp | Hello, I'm trying to set up a lightweight system without gnome or kde or anything but I can't get into the "expert install" when trying to boot form a USB-drive with both usb-creator and unetbootin. I have no cd-drive and I don't know if the mobo has support for pxe (it should have but I should also be able to do it from my usb-stick ;p) | 01:43 |
| Trasp | any ideas? | 01:43 |
| wabznasm | ohzie: I let you foloow ActionParsnip advice on that one - I don't want to override what he is saying | 01:44 |
| wabznasm | ohzie: just thought I'd mention the check for ipv6 being active first in case you didn't have to disable | 01:44 |
| histo | Trasp: use the alternate iso and install a command line system | 01:44 |
| ohzie | wabznasm: No, I intend to use what he said "disable ipv6 using boot option ipv6.disable=1" I'm just asking where I would put that option. | 01:44 |
| bazhang | Trasp, or anything? just a system without X? | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: yes in the quotes with: quiet splash | 01:45 |
| wabznasm | function scrapeFreeSearchPages() { | 01:45 |

| allowoverride | histo: rebooted yeilded same error message from pastebin - failed to apply network settings... conf file errors,,, blutooth netowrk unaable to connect | 01:45 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: ty! | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Trasp: oI recommend LXDE | 01:45 |
| histo | Trasp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 01:45 |
| Trasp | baxhang: Well, I'll have a openssh-server installed from the beginning and then throw in fluxbox | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: you will need to run: sudo update-grub to apply the setting | 01:45 |
| histo | allowoverride: I have no idea. Perhaps the forums? | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Trasp: fluxbox is light too :) | 01:46 |
| Trasp | ActionParsnip, I'm using that one on my laptops actually, sweet, but I just need X to run an application on a hard working server so... | 01:46 |
| jimisrvrox | FriGiN: Found the firmware update for it. Windows recognizes that the usb is plugged in. However it does not show up in the devices and says that Windows could not recognize it and cant install drivers..but it seems to be that it should work being that it recognized that it was plugged in. | 01:46 |
| Trasp | histo, Thanks! | 01:46 |
| ohzie | ActionParsnip: I was about to put it in the grub.cfg | 01:46 |
| bazhang | Trasp, you may wish to try lxde then as ActionParsnip recommends | 01:46 |
| Trasp | will try the alternate cd | 01:46 |
| ohzie | am I doing it wrong? | 01:46 |
| histo | bazhang: he didn't want lxde | 01:46 |
| allowoverride | histo: there are 1400 plus linux users in here, someone will be able to help out. ;) thanks for trying, also, i think the -u setting doesnt apply since udev handles it now, which means i prolly need to update the rc.X scripts... sighs... | 01:46 |
| wabznasm | ohzie: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html | 01:47 |
| Trasp | bazhang, As mentioned, I allready do use it on a couple of my systems :) | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: no, put it in /etc/default/grub | 01:47 |
| histo | allowoverride: I would try reinstalling all the blue* stuff perhaps something got derped during the upgrade | 01:47 |
| bazhang | histo, he said gnome or kde | 01:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: you NEVER edit grub.cfg | 01:47 |
| * ohzie shamefaced. | 01:47 | |
| histo | bazhang: he just wants plain X | 01:48 |
| histo | bazhang: lxde is far from that | 01:48 |
| allowoverride | histo: k | 01:48 |
| bazhang | histo, as is fluxbox | 01:48 |
| allowoverride | could you repaste my pastebin to me | 01:48 |
| allowoverride | i rebooted | 01:48 |
| histo | bazhang: I didn't suggest fluxbox I pointed out that he could do a command line install. Then install X or whatever he wants | 01:48 |
| Trasp | Well then, what should I use to get a minimal x-system then? | 01:49 |
| bazhang | Trasp, alternate cd or minimal cd | 01:49 |
| Trasp | I'm not new to *nix but I don't use it too much either | 01:49 |
| bazhang | !minimal | Trasp | 01:49 |
| ubottu | Trasp: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:49 |
| ohzie | Trasp: I'd recommend installing a server image. :| | 01:49 |
| histo | allowoverride: http://pastebin.com/sYEcKc3R | 01:49 |
| allowoverride | thanks histo, u cool ;) | 01:50 |
| ohzie | Trasp: and then installing from there | 01:50 |
| Trasp | Now i just asked what I should use to get "plain X" as you argued about ;p | 01:50 |
| th0r | Trasp: a 'minimal' x-system will have to include some kind of window manager. LXDE, XFCE, fluxbox, just a few of the lighter ones | 01:50 |
| allowoverride | histo: the 2nd paste bin, thanks, thats the first one | 01:50 |
| allowoverride | histo: they diff, 2nd has more info | 01:50 |
| Trasp | th0r, As I thought form the beginning then :) thanks | 01:50 |

| madsailor | I'm dual booting ubuntu and win7. If I mount the windows partition under ubuntu and delete some files will windows know that those files have been deleted when it boots next time, or will the OS not recognize that the files were deleted and still reserve space on disk for them | 02:08 |
| bazhang | madsailor, delete them from where, what files | 02:08 |
| clipse` | im having this weird issue, when i logged in today i typed w as usual and i saw a root login and then a second later it was gone.. http://pastebin.com/3p6XjAt5 -- any ideas? | 02:08 |
| rad_sci_guy | madsailor, windows will notice the files were deleted. i do it all the time. | 02:09 |
| madsailor | I'm deleting files from the win ntfs partition, but I'm booted into ubuntu on the ubuntu partition | 02:09 |
| bazhang | madsailor, bad idea then. for the exact ramifications, try ##windows | 02:10 |
| madsailor | rad_sci_guy, thanks...so your disk space from the deleted files is recognized as being free when you boot back into windows | 02:10 |
| leeeroooy_j | madsailor: aslong as you dont delete system files it should be fine | 02:11 |
| madsailor | leeeroooy_j, nope...just random pictures | 02:11 |
| leeeroooy_j | madsailor: or anything that would cause windows to have problem if missing (those new antiviruses that BSOD you if not working are a good example lol) | 02:11 |
| rad_sci_guy | madsailor, i'm pretty sure. I haven't removed huge amounts of files mind you. | 02:11 |
| canu-qumm | hey guys | 02:11 |
| leeeroooy_j | madsailor: just pictures? then you re good, do it | 02:11 |
| leeeroooy_j | aslong as they re not related to windows itself you can do what you want | 02:12 |
| rad_sci_guy | just don't delete files from the windows system folders or you'll be sorry :) | 02:12 |
| leeeroooy_j | but keep in mind what bazhang said about #windows if you think you want more info you better ask there | 02:12 |
| magn3ts | It'd be nice if QT apps obeyed fonts when using something besides the defaults... was that really not tested at all? | 02:12 |

| bazhang | magn3ts, what apps, etc | 02:13 |

| bazhang | tux-desktop, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 02:21 |
| tux-desktop | i know sorry | 02:21 |
| Mark_benso | hi everyone, i hope such a question belongs here, i own an internet point and recently users have been complaining because my computers dont have flash and dont "open" some websites (i blocked them lol) one of the most required was megavideo, i actually blocked such websites and flash due to security concerns (although linux is not windows flash has its exploits that may target different OS'es and cause nastities), could anyone tell me if enabling f | 02:23 |
| Mark_benso | lash would be safe? and also, should i allow megavideo (this is the off topic question, again sorry if it doesnt belong here)? you may want to know that most users use guest session and some limited account with ONLY "administrate system" not checked (so all other permissions are checked) and they all have firefox's default apparmor profile | 02:23 |
| rrgrzcool | can anyone provide their expertise with installing swftools on ubuntu? | 02:24 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, IMO, you can enable flash. | 02:24 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, if Flash is being used as an exploit... it would be through a megavideo video. | 02:24 |
| Osmodivs | Hello. What command do I use to know how many files do I have in one folder? like, I want to know how many fonts do I have in /usr/share/fonts/funfonts I know I have to use the find command, but whatś next? | 02:25 |
| bazhang | Mark_benso, are you using ubuntu? | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, it will be through some SWF embedded somewhere inconspicuous. Better would be to use Chrome (Better plugin sandboxing) and have click-to-enable, so users will only use Flash when they explicitly need it. | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Mark_benso: flash should be fine | 02:25 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: so you say yes to flash but no to megavideo? | 02:25 |
| Mark_benso | bazhang: yes 11.04 if it matters | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, I'm saying Chrome + Click-to-enable. I don't know why you're worried about megavideo any more than any other site. | 02:25 |
| Mark_benso | ActionParsnip: thank you very much, what about megavideo though? could i trust it? | 02:25 |
| bazhang | Mark_benso, using noscript and flashblock as well? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Mark_benso: never used it | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Why is megavideo any less trustworthy than any other flash site Mark_benso | 02:25 |
| Mark_benso | bazhang: adblock plus + noscript, but in order to watch the vids they d have (i'd have in this case) to allow megavideo.com | 02:26 |
| magn3ts | Like I said, if Flash is used as an exploit... it will be on some random embed, not megavideo. | 02:26 |
| clipse` | so ubuntu 11.04 is out.. I might be running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS -- is there a command or way I can type something as root to determine what exact version of ubuntu im currently running? uname -a doesnt show it.. and cat /etc/debian* just says squeeze/sid | 02:26 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: that was the most "complained" so im asking about this | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | clipse`: lsb_release -a | 02:26 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, meh, there's no reason to worry about Megavideo more than anything else, except for megavideo is usually used to host tv shows and movies and time wasters. | 02:27 |
| === exiter is now known as str8jacket | ||
| Osmodivs | clipse`: Why on earth are you still using 10.04? | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | clipse`: doesn't need root either | 02:27 |
| bazhang | Mark_benso, flash is insecure, megavideo does not make it more so | 02:27 |
| bridean | I have a question about linux administration. Kind of detailed (I have no experience with linux admin). Should I write up my question on pastebin and post it? | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Osmodivs: desktop and server are both supported still... | 02:27 |
| magn3ts | bazhang, this is much closer than any other font I've found. I don't know why this happens, but it bothers me, especially with my other fonts. http://imgur.com/Hszw8 | 02:27 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: i looked the legal aspects and i should be fine | 02:27 |
| Mark_benso | bazhang: what do you mean? | 02:27 |
| clipse` | ActionParsnip thanks | 02:27 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, Didn't mean from a legal perspective. | 02:27 |
| clipse` | Osmodivs i don't know. im going to upgrade | 02:27 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i permanently disable nomodeset in 10.10? | 02:27 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, dude, stop worrying about megavideo. It's irrelevant, completely. | 02:27 |
| Osmodivs | clipse`: About time | 02:28 |
| allowoverride | histo: i removed all i could minus gnome-desktop which is dep'd to bluez* | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: add it in the quotes with: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-group | 02:28 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: then if by "time wasters" you mean stuff that makes them sit for long time i should be happy with it since they pay for it lol | 02:28 |
| bazhang | linux_is_my_hero, remove it from bootoptions? | 02:28 |
| histo | allowoverride: yeah now reinstall them and see if the problem persists | 02:28 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, oh, right on then. | 02:28 |
| allowoverride | histo: thats the plan lol bbiab | 02:28 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, if this is an internet cafe thing, there are way better ways to do this. | 02:28 |
| magn3ts | like, way,way,way better ways. | 02:28 |
| histo | allowoverride: bbiab? | 02:28 |
| allowoverride | histo: should i do a reboot? | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | clipse`: Lucid desktop support dies at the same time as Natty desktop does. i'd just wait :) | 02:28 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: like? | 02:29 |
| mrdeb | thanks bazang the xrandr is good | 02:29 |
| histo | allowoverride: I would after reinstalling just to make sure udev doesn't throw a fit | 02:29 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, thin clients? a persistent boot with volatile partition that is wiped on every boot, a tempfs in memory, etc. | 02:29 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: it disabled it temporarily for install, but as soon as i restart its going to undo that. so what you're saying is i should do what you said after i install but before i reboot, and it should permanently fix it? | 02:29 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, then you can just let users do whatever they want. | 02:29 |
| billy2007 | does anyone know where i can get ogg. files to use in frets on fire | 02:29 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, and it's all abandoned upon shutdown | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: adding it in that file will add it to all kernels and subsequent kernels, it will be used automagically | 02:29 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: some users want "permanent" accounts, and i think setting it up with thin clients would have a cost | 02:30 |
| magn3ts | billy2007, convert to them? They're just an audio file like wav, mp3, etc. | 02:30 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, um, there'd be some cost if you already have the machines, sure. Otherwise it could be much cheaper potentially. But if they want persistent accounts... is that for data storage or what? | 02:30 |
| allowoverride | histo: hmmm lets see what bbiab could possibly mean,,, well brb is be right back, so maybe bb = be back, and i = in and a = a, and hmmm lets see, m, could mean min? so bbiab = be back in a min... not to mention over the past 20 yrs i have coined many acronyms from in chat boxes around the world, and finally i prefaced it with a statement, that would imply i would be right back... does that help? | 02:30 |
| allowoverride | i should cut and paste that to gedit for future use... ;) | 02:30 |
| ActionParsnip | clipse`: user may as well keep Lucid, the support for both ends at the same time | 02:30 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, it could still apply, they have a persistent home directory. That'd work fine, especially if they can't install software via root. | 02:30 |
| billy2007 | magn3ts, but then id have to configure the song myself to work in the game | 02:31 |
| Phr3d13 | ok, i'm upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 and decided to hit d to view diffs... how do i get back to the upgrade process? | 02:31 |
| magn3ts | billy2007, I see, I misunderstood. I'd Google, I doubt you're going to get much traction here. | 02:31 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: i already have the machines (been using them with ubuntu for 3 years now lol) and i cant tell (i dont know) what they need storage for besides bookmarks and preferences | 02:31 |
| billy2007 | magn3ts, thats my problem ive searched all over google but i cant find anyfiles | 02:32 |

| allowoverride | note - #bluez-users are braindead... | 02:32 |

| allowoverride | bbiab | 02:32 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, lol, I think to get the best result, you might want to hire someone or detail the use-case scenarios and solicit opinion. There's a lot of different ways to do this effectively depending on exactly what you're trying to do and allow your users to do. | 02:32 |
| Phr3d13 | ActionParsnip, Thank you! | 02:33 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, Flash is flash. Megavideo does not affect how safe it is. At all. | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Phr3d13: np man | 02:33 |
| Phr3d13 | ActionParsnip, i think that should be stated somewhere in the upgrader | 02:33 |
| Mark_benso | magn3ts: so you say that whatever they go watch even if its some bestiality they wont mess up my machine? | 02:33 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: thanks :-) after its installed im definately gunna try that :-) | 02:33 |

| Mark_benso | magn3ts: i dont know how megavideo handles their stuff tbh, thats why im asking lol | 02:34 |
| allowoverride | i will start with trying to get that bluetooth light on dell laptop working FIRST | 02:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | mark_benso: one of the reasons to go from windows to linux is that linux doesnt have all the backdoors for programmers to exploit when setting up porno sites | 02:34 |
| bazhang | Mark_benso, this is getting way offtopic | 02:34 |
| magn3ts | Mark_benso, You really need to get past megavideo. | 02:35 |
| bazhang | Mark_benso, lets move on please, and follow the channel guidelines for content as well | 02:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | allowoverride: you need a bluetooth card in order to use bluetooth | 02:35 |
| magn3ts | linux_is_my_hero, that's not really accurate and is a massive over simplification. | 02:35 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | allowoverride: the light is there on most systems. does lspci show anything? | 02:35 |
| Mark_benso | bazhang: i dont think that bestiality is an offensive term , and by that i meant any content that wouldnt be fine, but if its getting off topic ill just beg forgivness and stop | 02:35 |

| rrgrzcool | can anyone help with an swftools install? | 02:44 |
| === leo is now known as leolaurel | ||
| rrgrzcool | i've tried following every example out there | 02:45 |
| bazhang | rrgrzcool, from where | 02:45 |
| bazhang | rrgrzcool, further, why do you need it | 02:45 |
| rrgrzcool | hi bazhang, i'm trying to install it local on an ubuntu vm | 02:46 |
| rrgrzcool | and i'm using gfx to convert pdfs to images | 02:46 |
| szal | rrgrzcool: the question was, _from_ where, not _to_ where.. | 02:46 |
| asdjaputra | how to cloak IP address in freenode? | 02:47 |
| rrgrzcool | from local to local... i'm from nyc if that's what you're asking | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | asdfasdfa, #freenode or google. | 02:47 |
| bazhang | asdjaputra, /join #freenode | 02:47 |
| bazhang | !register | asdjaputra | 02:47 |
| ubottu | asdjaputra: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | asdfasdfa, sorry for the notify, close usernames. | 02:47 |
| IdleOne | magn3ts: the answer was #freenode. Please don't tell people to google it. | 02:47 |
| bazhang | asdjaputra, register then ask for a cloak in #freenode | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | !cloak | asdjaputra | 02:48 |
| ubottu | asdjaputra: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks - More information available in #freenode | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | jesus christ. Googling it would probably be faster than going to #freenode, asking, and waiting for the response | 02:48 |
| asdjaputra | i did register my nickname, and i did ask for a cloak, but they didn't answer | 02:48 |
| szal | rrgrzcool: no, I'm asking where you got it from and in what form/format | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | everyone is rules crazy tonight. Instead we've had three factoids and 5 messages on the topic now. | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | magn3ts: you are free to start your own channel without rules. | 02:48 |
| allowoverride | magn3ts: thats every day all day and all night | 02:48 |
| sroy2 | hi, I just upgraded 11.04 from the default video drivers to nvidia and the screen is now blank (+ cursor) after it boots... any ideas? | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | What rule does that violate other than IdleOne's nitpicking? | 02:48 |
| IdleOne | 02:49 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 02:49 |
| allowoverride | IdleOne: is top of the list for analness | 02:49 |
| allowoverride | just my two bits ;) | 02:49 |
| magn3ts | sigh, I suppose there's a factoid. | 02:49 |
| rrgrzcool | szal: oh okay. well, i've tried from their own site, wget, git... they are tar.gz | 02:49 |
| allowoverride | check the logs and you will see pattern repeat itself .... | 02:49 |
| DaSinge | factiod? | 02:49 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, I wasn't interested in personal attacks, I've just had 3/3 conversations turn meta in the 15 minutes I've been here. | 02:49 |
| allowoverride | oh im into personal attacks when they materialize | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | DaSinge: its the things ubottu spits when we trigger her | 02:50 |
| lahwran | anyone recommend a better image viewer? | 02:51 |
| DaSinge | oh ok thkx | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | lahwran: imagemagick | 02:51 |
| bazhang | lahwran, better than what | 02:51 |
| lahwran | default 10.10 | 02:51 |
| lahwran | which is eyeofgnome iirc | 02:51 |
| asdjaputra | #ubuntu-bots lahwran, and ask BestBot | 02:51 |
| wabznasm | lahwran: better how? quicker, smaller, more featured? | 02:51 |
| lahwran | more featured | 02:51 |
| bazhang | lahwran, the image viewer works well | 02:51 |
| p_res | use feh for image viewing. | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | lahwran: imagemagick has all the transform power in imagemagick, depends what features you need | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | p_res: nice | 02:52 |
| szal | !pm | rr | 02:52 |
| ubottu | rr: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 02:52 |
| bazhang | lahwran, more featured, as in what features | 02:52 |
| szal | erm, @ rrgrzcool, I meant | 02:52 |
| p_res | it's all i use. ;-) | 02:52 |
| rrgrzcool | @szal ahh this? | 02:53 |
| asdjaputra | p_res, its lightweight, not more-featured | 02:53 |
| p_res | what features required? | 02:53 |
| asdjaputra | lahwran, dragon? | 02:53 |
| allowoverride | anyfoo,,, | 02:54 |
| allowoverride | back to my issue | 02:54 |
| asdjaputra | lahwran, oops i meant gwenview | 02:54 |
| bazhang | allowoverride, yes? | 02:54 |
| asdjaputra | allowoverride demands! we have to obey | 02:54 |
| allowoverride | i dont like you bazhang, just a heads up. | 02:54 |
| allowoverride | and i havent even talked to you befre | 02:54 |
| allowoverride | lol | 02:54 |
| bazhang | allowoverride, just follow the channel guidelines | 02:54 |
| rrgrzcool | sigh... can anyone help with swftools? this is driving me insane for days | 02:55 |
| allowoverride | bazhang: we should meet up sometime and talk shop, i think you will differ your pre-disposed opinions | 02:55 |
| asdjaputra | what dell type you have anyway, allowoverride | 02:55 |
| bazhang | rrgrzcool, to edit pdf or extract pdf images to images | 02:55 |
| allowoverride | asdjaputra: xps, its a dual nic/bluetooth trust me | 02:56 |
| allowoverride | k | 02:56 |
| allowoverride | onboard | 02:56 |
| asdjaputra | my bluetooth on vostro 1400 works fine | 02:56 |
| asdjaputra | can you tell me the bluetooth model? | 02:56 |
| DaSinge | oh ya and what about waireless drivers does ubuntu support that? | 02:57 |
| DaSinge | wireless" | 02:57 |
| asdjaputra | DaSinge, yes | 02:57 |
| bazhang | rrgrzcool, in channel please, thanks | 02:57 |
| rrgrzcool | sorry, i'm here | 02:57 |
| asdjaputra | DaSinge, including proprietary ones, if you enable restricted extras | 02:57 |
| allowoverride | asdjaputra: i do NOT have your laptop | 02:58 |
| ActionParsnip | DaSinge: depends on the wireless chip | 02:58 |
| asdjaputra | lsusb shows? | 02:58 |
| rrgrzcool | so yeah, i've installed it before, on other servers 0.9.1 | 02:58 |
| mrdeb | what is crond | 02:58 |
| allowoverride | asdjaputra: i also do not have your OS most likely. there is much much more to it than comparing it to another disparent system | 02:58 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, the cron daemon? | 02:58 |
| allowoverride | not to mention, it used to work, prior to numerous kernel upgrades i know i should do until like months later | 02:59 |
| mrdeb | yes | 02:59 |
| mrdeb | do you need it | 02:59 |
| IdleOne | allowoverride: what OS are you running? | 02:59 |
| ironfroggy | when i boot i am dropped into a grub prompt, rather than a menu or booting into my OS | 02:59 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, to do what; what is your exact issue | 02:59 |
| ironfroggy | can anyone tell me how i can get this corrected? | 02:59 |
| DaSinge | I have a Atheros AR5B95 Wireless Network adapter | 03:00 |
| allowoverride | 10.10 mav | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfroggy: I'd boot to live CD and reinstall grub2 there | 03:00 |
| allowoverride | IdleOne: 10.10 maverick | 03:00 |
| bazhang | DaSinge, thats supported, yes | 03:00 |
| asdjaputra | DaSinge, that's universally (i think) works | 03:00 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, do you get an error message? | 03:00 |
| ironfroggy | ActionParsnip: ive run grub-install on the device | 03:00 |
| ironfroggy | magn3ts: no | 03:00 |
| DaSinge | woah...thz | 03:00 |
| jimisrvrox | Thank you to whoever suggested the firmware update. Got my mp3 player back up and running after more than a year. Thanks. | 03:00 |
| bullgard4 | !jockey | 03:01 |
| magn3ts | !grub | magn3ts | 03:01 |
| ubottu | magn3ts, please see my private message | 03:01 |
| asdjaputra | allowoverride, not again supported | 03:01 |
| allowoverride | IdleOne: im thinkin the additional drivers or Networkmanager has something to do with it | 03:01 |
| allowoverride | asdjaputra: ? huh | 03:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: after install it wanted to reboot and wouldnt let me try the os so now what do i do? every time it boots with the same graphics driver error. | 03:01 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, the !grub factoid can give you reinstall instructions, you may have run grub-install incorrectly, etc. | 03:01 |
| allowoverride | asdjaputra: what are you refering too? that totally confused my linux mind... | 03:01 |
| ironfroggy | !grub | 03:01 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 03:01 |
| asdjaputra | allowoverride, nm | 03:02 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: you'll need to edit the boot options for the liveCD to add the nomodeset | 03:02 |
| allowoverride | IdleOne: let me know your thoughts, i know you have a clue about these matters. | 03:02 |
| allowoverride | ill bbiab | 03:02 |
| ironfroggy | magn3ts: that is what i have already done, in fact. | 03:02 |
| allowoverride | pm me if you like | 03:02 |
| DaSinge | also is it possiable that a file got corrupt when downloading ubuntu | 03:02 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, are you in a multi-drive scenario? | 03:03 |
| ironfroggy | i was | 03:03 |
| ironfroggy | i am trying to remove an old drive and only use one | 03:03 |
| asdjaputra | DaSinge, yes | 03:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: how do i do that? | 03:03 |
| freeone3000 | DaSinge: Always possible. Check the md5sum. | 03:03 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | linux_is_my_hero | 03:03 |
| ironfroggy | which is why i'm tring to boot on the MBR of the remaining drive | 03:03 |
| ubottu | linux_is_my_hero: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 03:03 |
| DaSinge | md5sum? | 03:03 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, it's possible that grub is installing on the wrong drive or that its not finding /boot properly, etc. | 03:03 |
| asdjaputra | DaSinge, i meant the ubuntu ISO got corrupt | 03:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | !nomodeset | linux_is_my_hero | 03:03 |
| ubottu | linux_is_my_hero, please see my private message | 03:03 |
| ironfroggy | magn3ts: i have removed the other drive. right now there is only one. | 03:04 |
| DaSinge | yes like a file in the ISO | 03:04 |
| freeone3000 | DaSinge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 03:04 |
| bazhang | !hashes | DaSinge | 03:04 |
| ubottu | DaSinge: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 03:04 |
| rak85 | hi guys! | 03:04 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: it won't boot to ubuntu, so how do i edit files? | 03:04 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, you removed the drive before executing these steps? I think those steps should regenerate the grub configuration files, you may need to do that... do you have a /boot on the remaining drive? | 03:04 |
| linux_is_my_hero | rak85: hey :-) | 03:05 |
| uRock | hi | 03:05 |
| IdleOne | allowoverride: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1101204 little old but may have some helpful hints | 03:05 |
| ironfroggy | magn3ts: i do. i booted into the liveCD and i did the grub install on /dev/sda from there and yes i have /boot on the new disk | 03:05 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: you will need that link to edit it to get to the desktop, you can then edit the file and it will stick | 03:05 |
| allowoverride | IdleOne: thanks for researching, ill chk it out... | 03:05 |
| ironfroggy | it seems like i have grub installed but it has no menu/list of kernels to boot | 03:05 |
| ironfroggy | so it just dumps me to its prompt | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | ironfroggy: you are using grub2 which uses config files and generates grub.cfg | 03:06 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, have you run update-grub2 ? you might give that a shot. | 03:06 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, does it error without a proper grub.cfg though? or does it maybe drop him at this empty prompt? | 03:06 |
| ironfroggy | i will try that | 03:07 |
| Switchcat | Q: How can I tell if my laptop's built-in card reader is working and/or mount it when I put a card in? I checked dmesg and didnt see anything obvious but I am not sure what to look for. | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: yes it will error as there is no config to read | 03:07 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, according to what ActionParsnip, I don't think that will probably fix it, but it shouldn't hurt either. | 03:07 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: i see: :-) | 03:08 |
| ironfroggy | o | 03:08 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: much appreciated. 10.10 is way faster than 11.04 and ive been meaning to do this but havent had the time until NOW. :-) | 03:08 |
| ironfroggy | how would i go about resetting the menu list for grub? | 03:08 |
| ironfroggy | i am thinking that is what i need | 03:08 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, that command "should automatically detect the drives and configure grub appropriately". | 03:09 |
| ironfroggy | but how / where does it find the kernels? | 03:09 |
| magn3ts | In what regard is 10.10 faster than natty? | 03:09 |
| magn3ts | ironfroggy, what do you mean? It scans for them presumably? | 03:09 |
| ironfroggy | well its done that and it didnt find anything. i am trying to figure out how to do it myself | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: depends on config with regards to speed. My 11.04 LXDE based system boots and runs faster than my laptop which has a lot more grunt running gnome | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: the statement is none-sensical | 03:10 |
| Phr3d13 | just so everyone knows: upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 doesn't fix a vt6410 | 03:11 |
| allowoverride | whats the command to show bios info in cmdline? i forgot... thanks | 03:11 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeah i would think 11.04 would be faster on my machine. but it wasnt. | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: not necessarily true that newer = faster | 03:11 |
| magn3ts | and linux is magically safer because it doesn't have "holes". | 03:11 |
| linux_is_my_hero | action parsnip: my desktop is faster with 10.10, my laptop won't run 11.04, and my tablet seems to like 11.04 better than 10.10 | 03:11 |
| allowoverride | dmicode? | 03:12 |
| allowoverride | lshw? i forgot i swear | 03:12 |
| === bitchx is now known as awea- | ||
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: do i add "nomodeset" inside the same quotes as "quiet splash," or on its own command line function? | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: all depends on config. I bet if you install a lighter DE it will run faster tnan Maverick | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: yes inside the quotes | 03:12 |
| linux_is_my_hero | what's a "DE"? | 03:13 |
| asdjaputra | desktop environment | 03:13 |
| allowoverride | found it, sudo dmidecode |grep -i smbios | 03:13 |
| linux_is_my_hero | is that the same as a "GUI"? | 03:13 |
| asdjaputra | linux_is_my_hero, it consists the GUi you use | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: lxde uses a hell of a lot less resources than gnome and compiz, making it faster | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: the release is still Natty | 03:13 |
| joshz | I'm having a graphics issue with Ubuntu 11.04 on a Dell Inspiron 8600 (graphics card: AGP 4x - ATI Mobility Radeon 9000). | 03:14 |
| joshz | It boots off the install disk without any problem whatsoever, but when I try to run off the computer itself after (successfully) installing, it hangs on the desktop, with windows flashing up occasionally for fractions of a second. If I press ctrl+alt+f7, it gets me into a distorted shell (garbage characters.) | 03:14 |
| joshz | I just rebooted, and now am greeted with an all-white screen with black text on it that looks vaguely like emoticons. | 03:14 |
| joshz | What can I do to resolve this problem? | 03:14 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: im interested :-) | 03:15 |
| asdjaputra | ActionParsnip, though it looks like Vista | 03:15 |
| armelTest | anyone ever use ubuntu on an arm7? | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: what does? | 03:16 |
| asdjaputra | ActionParsnip, lxde | 03:16 |
| asdjaputra | the panel, the folder icons | 03:16 |
| asdjaputra | etc. | 03:16 |
| armelTest | well im having probs getting build-essential | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: depends on theme | 03:16 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: why is linux telling me grub is read-only? | 03:16 |
| magn3ts | looks more like windows 98 than vista. | 03:16 |
| bazhang | armelTest, try #ubuntu-arm | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: you need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: the file is owned by root | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | armelTest: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM | 03:16 |
| armelTest | ok thx | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: what, because it's at the bottom? | 03:17 |
| allowoverride | interesting findings on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, there is reference to: Bluetooth coexistence protection, if the bluetooth card is physically connected to the wireless chip. (Does not protect against external BT dongles) | 03:17 |
| asdjaputra | ActionParsnip, no, the color of the panel is black and light black, sorta resembles Vista | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: depensd on theme. I kill off lxpanel ond run unity2d. It's still lxde, looks like most people's natty install ;) | 03:17 |
| allowoverride | which means, this BC w/nic is bluetooth'd. | 03:17 |
| asdjaputra | ActionParsnip, ah | 03:18 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: ah, Gedit. | 03:18 |
| allowoverride | that would explain the network error before desktop is up fully. i still need to get bluez to run and the light on dell laptop will not light up unless the kernel doesnt see it | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/MyScreenshot3.png?t=1276984007 that's my Lucid LXDE system from back in the day | 03:19 |
| roasted | Does anybody know if rhythmbox is still in active development? | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: running wbar :) | 03:19 |
| asdjaputra | wow bar | 03:20 |
| asdjaputra | laugh out loud | 03:20 |
| asdjaputra | since lol isn't allowed | 03:20 |
| bazhang | !ot | 03:20 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 03:20 |
| bazhang | roasted, not certain, seems to completely dropped from 11.10 though, in favor of banshee | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | asdjaputra: nothing like windows :) | 03:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: looks good :-) | 03:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: once i edit grub i can just restart, right? | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: I can recommend deadbeef :) | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | linux_is_my_hero: as long as you run: sudo update-grub first | 03:21 |
| billy2007 | hi i cant seem to copy a folder into A game iit says permission deined any ideas | 03:22 |
| bazhang | billy2007, what game, what command | 03:22 |
| allowoverride | darn i wish i could write my own drivers.... | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: run: gksudo nautilus | 03:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: well so far so good :-) how do i change from gnome to lxde? | 03:22 |
| joshz | Update: A second reboot got me to see the desktop, though ctrl+alt+f7 now gets me to the garbled emoticon-like screen. Pressing ctrl+alt+f1 then brought me to a screen with just one small pixellated block of the desktop and a cursor. | 03:22 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: what desktop is that? kde? flux? | 03:23 |
| allowoverride | might be gnome? | 03:24 |
| linux_is_my_hero | its his lxde machine | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | allowoverride: LXDE + openbox | 03:24 |
| allowoverride | nice | 03:24 |
| allowoverride | using NetworkManager ic lol | 03:24 |
| magn3ts | I worry that people choose DE and window mangers based on screenshots rather than featuers and taking the time to learn how to install a font pack... | 03:24 |
| Tigerboy | anyone know why, suddenly, unless I desable CSF I cannot FTP to my webserver | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | allowoverride: its was there, i use wicd now | 03:25 |
| allowoverride | i used to use wicd and switched back to NM dont ask lol | 03:25 |
| allowoverride | actually now that i think about it, that is what i used last, when the BCom w/nic i have used to work with bluetooth. i might just do that... | 03:26 |
| allowoverride | bbiab | 03:26 |
| armor-64 | hi guys! i want to run xhydra but i cant!do you know a way to do this? | 03:27 |
| magn3ts | I've only ever found wicd to be helpful when dealing with overlapping wifi spots with the same essid... because NM isn't smart enough to pick the one with the highest strength for some reason (makes sense, it remembers via bssid instead) | 03:27 |
| armelTest | ok no one was up in -arm. this maybe a simple question... can anyone tell me what this means | 03:27 |
| armelTest | Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, oris only available from another sourceE: Package build-essential has no installation candidate | 03:27 |
| Tigerboy | yes build essential has mysteriously disappeared | 03:27 |
| armelTest | lol thats what i thought!! | 03:28 |
| armelTest | how does that happen? | 03:28 |
| Tigerboy | most likely bill Gates | 03:29 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: thanks for your help :-) | 03:29 |
| armelTest | lol bg = bill gates = bubble guts | 03:29 |
| magn3ts | for example, there's no reason you can't have this within gnome: http://k.min.us/iemoIQ.png | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/build-essential | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: to have what? | 03:31 |
| magn3ts | something that doesn't look like stock unity. | 03:31 |
| Tigerboy | ActionParsnip: It should be in the repos I have noticed it missing at least for a week I think. | 03:31 |
| magn3ts | just based on the "oooh vista folders" and then "I want LXDE" comments... I get all :S | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Tigerboy: try: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy build-essential | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: the OS is flexible so it can have what the user wishes | 03:32 |
| magn3ts | actually, do other DE's have support (even community support) for app-indicators? I've come to quite like them. It's such a nice fix for gnome-applets. | 03:32 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, oh sure, I just don't think everyone gets that. And instead of chaning icons, they rush to a DE that has a default icon set they like. | 03:33 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, deadbeef... as in, a media management application??? | 03:33 |
| dan__ | ladies. | 03:35 |
| dan__ | Who wants to see me penis. | 03:35 |
| dan__ | ? | 03:35 |
| dan__ | My name is terrence urich | 03:36 |
| magn3ts | be gone | 03:36 |
| larie | hello | 03:37 |
| larie | i need ERwin like app | 03:37 |
| larie | i need to open *.erwin file | 03:37 |
| armor-64 | hi guys! i want to run xhydra but i cant!do you know a way to do this? | 03:37 |
| larie | or er1 file | 03:37 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: yeah its nice | 03:37 |
| magn3ts | larie, that doesn't seem very likely. | 03:37 |
| joshz | The strange thing is that I can run the install, boot off the live cd, and use the live cd without graphics issues at all. | 03:37 |
| larie | magn3ts: what likely? :) | 03:38 |
| Tigerboy | ActionParsnip: that would work if it was saved on my system but I've had a couple rough starts as I try to get this one laptop up with 11.04... Hopefully buildessentials will reapear soon... heck Ill find it on the net. | 03:38 |
| ActionParsnip | armor-64: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get -y nstall pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/lsb-release | 03:38 |
| magn3ts | larie, I don't think you're going to find linux software that will read proprietary files. | 03:38 |
| larie | magn3ts: i see | 03:38 |
| magn3ts | larie, there are alternatives to erwin, but not nearly as professional, and like I said, they won't read erwin files. | 03:38 |
| allowoverride | before i try wicd, what is the dpkg method to install from cmdline - NetworkManager back, since I wont be able to use wireless if i disable/uninstall NM to use Wicd and return. thanks! | 03:38 |
| joshz | Could there be a driver problem, or something? Based on the fact that the system displays the graphics fine off the cd, it seems weird that it would fail when not on the cd. | 03:38 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, it seems very simple. does it do playlist syncing to ipods and such? | 03:39 |
| larie | magn3ts: $(file 1.erwin) shows me -> "data" | 03:39 |
| magn3ts | larie, you are talking about the UML/diagramming software erwin right? | 03:39 |
| mARCUs | thank goodness for chats | 03:39 |
| mARCUs | that dont suck | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: no idea, i don't use apples garbage. my sense outstrips my wallet | 03:39 |
| allowoverride | sorry guys/gals i come from freebsd and redhat/centos lol | 03:39 |
| magn3ts | larie, I'm just guessing, it may be reversable or human readable, but I doubt anyone's done it. | 03:39 |
| larie | magn3ts: idk :) guy from my office wants to open ERwin file | 03:39 |
| allowoverride | just a quick one liner, that would help | 03:39 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, you and me both. I'm just trying to get acquianted with more media players since I have a few friends who might switch to linux IF they can find something to suit their ipod needs :P | 03:39 |
| magn3ts | larie, when I see something like erwin's website... I immediately think VirtualBox+Windows until you can get away from that application, if that's even possible. | 03:39 |
| allowoverride | some cmd i can use that will not ask the net for info to load a prog/util locally | 03:40 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, just trying to get more well educated on which apps I can recommend them. | 03:40 |
| larie | magn3ts: he can't open it on windows7 but he has ubuntu on laptop | 03:40 |
| magn3ts | roasted, android phone + amazon clouddrive = bliss. | 03:40 |
| larie | magn3ts: what apps are similar to ERwin? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted: i'd either check its feature list, or just install it and test :) | 03:40 |
| allowoverride | before i try wicd, what is the dpkg method to install from cmdline - NetworkManager back, since I wont be able to use wireless if i disable/uninstall NM to use Wicd and return. just a quick one liner, that would help, some cmd i can use that will not ask the net for info to load a prog/util locally | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | larie: what is ERwin? | 03:40 |
| magn3ts | larie, DBDesigner, uh, honestly I don't remember the others. | 03:40 |
| armor-64 | here:E: Invalid operation nstall | 03:40 |
| armor-64 | The program 'pastebinit' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 03:40 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, data modeling. | 03:40 |
| larie | ActionParsnip: idk | 03:41 |
| magn3ts | armor-64, follow the instructions, you typed "install" as "nstall" . | 03:41 |
| larie | magn3ts: thx! is that app the best? :p | 03:41 |
| allowoverride | does dpkg always go to the net to load a prog/util? where does it store package info? what dir? | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | allowoverride: you could tell apt-get to download the debs. You can always add the install CD as a repo and install network manager from there | 03:41 |
| magn3ts | larie, no clue, I ended up using paint as it was just a homework assignment. | 03:41 |
| armor-64 | it's working,whana install it? | 03:41 |
| magn3ts | larie, honestly dbdesigner just happened to show up on a random search for "erwin files ubuntu". | 03:42 |
| joshz | Are there differences in hardware requirements for the live CD versus running from an install? | 03:42 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: ic. but i did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 from the net. so your saying i could burn a cd of 10.10 and load it locally and add to sources/repo? | 03:42 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: you awake yet? | 03:42 |
| magn3ts | joshz, possibly but I don't think so, what are you worried about? | 03:42 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: where does dpkg info store the prog/utils it has installed? what dir? | 03:42 |
| larie | magn3ts: hehe ;) | 03:42 |
| joshz | Well, the graphics work fine on the live CD, but I don't get anything beyond the desktop or occasional windows that flash up when I complete the install and boot off the laptop. | 03:42 |
| magn3ts | Why do people insist on installing years old versions of ubuntu and then upgrading them in place when a 15 minute download would let them have a clean install? | 03:42 |
| joshz | (Ubuntu 11.04) | 03:43 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: what cmd can i use to download debs to a local dir? so i can just install from there? | 03:43 |
| allowoverride | so many ways to install a prog with ubuntu... sighs... | 03:43 |
| magn3ts | joshz, oh right, I saw you before. It sounds like a compiz/graphics problem, maybe specific to unity+your graphics card. | 03:43 |
| joshz | Dell Inspiron 8600, AGP 4x - ATI Mobility Radeon 9000) | 03:43 |
| * joshz nods | 03:43 | |
| joshz | Do you have any ideas for how I could fix it? | 03:43 |
| allowoverride | like apt-get and aptitude,, come on ubuntu devs, make up your minds! | 03:43 |
| DaSinge | my download is taking forever:/ | 03:43 |
| magn3ts | joshz, try Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to tty, login, then do `compiz --replace` (two dashes) and then switch back to CTRL+ALT+F7 and see if it's any better | 03:43 |
| magn3ts | joshz, or at the gdm login screen, try "Ubuntu Classic" as the desktop to use. | 03:44 |
| joshz | Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't do anything | 03:44 |
| joshz | And I don't get the login screen. | 03:44 |
| magn3ts | joshz, oh :/ | 03:44 |
| joshz | Nothing comes up at all. | 03:44 |
| magn3ts | joshz, over my head then. | 03:44 |
| joshz | ctrl+alt+f7 does something | 03:44 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, usually they do different things... | 03:44 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get source networkmanager will load to cur dir, correct? | 03:44 |
| joshz | Brings up a strange black-on white screen | 03:44 |
| joshz | things that look like emoticons. | 03:44 |
| magn3ts | joshz, you ought to be on that tty already anyway... :/ sounds pretty goofy. | 03:44 |
| joshz | ":(" ":<", ":)"... | 03:45 |
| allowoverride | ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get -d networkmanager will load to cur dir, correct? | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | allowoverride: read: man apt-get | 03:45 |
| joshz | typing brings up different emoticons. | 03:45 |
| magn3ts | joshz, no readable text though? | 03:45 |
| allowoverride | thats what im doing,, | 03:45 |
| joshz | Nope. | 03:45 |
| joshz | I did compiz --replace and hit enter | 03:45 |
| allowoverride | just cuz someone reads something, doesnt mean they understand it all... my god | 03:45 |
| joshz | No noticeable change. | 03:45 |
| allowoverride | sometimes man pages are all over the map, you know that | 03:45 |
| magn3ts | joshz, well that was my mistake, I meant to have you do `metacity --replace` but if you haven't even logged in, something else is messed up. | 03:45 |
| joshz | No, it's set to auto-login, I think | 03:46 |
| magn3ts | joshz, what kind of graphics card? Did you notice, did you have shadows during the installer? | 03:46 |
| joshz | AGP 4x - ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 | 03:46 |
| magn3ts | joshz, ack, auto-login is the bane of my existence with graphics problems. | 03:46 |
| joshz | Umm...not sure. | 03:46 |
| joshz | Really? | 03:46 |
| linux_is_my_hero | actionparsnip: if my internet is fast on other computers, and my wireless is strong on the problem computer, why would internet be slow? | 03:46 |
| joshz | Should I try to reinstall and not do auto-login? | 03:47 |
| magn3ts | joshz, yeah, if it's compiz related, you don't get a chance to not use it :S at least if it gets this bad. | 03:47 |
| allowoverride | can someone ELSE give me a one liner for downloading NetworkManager so i can use it after i HAVE no wireless connection..... thanks | 03:47 |
| allowoverride | fsck | 03:47 |
| magn3ts | joshz, I'm trying to see if there's an easy way for you to disable it without a full reinstall. | 03:47 |
| joshz | I have no problem with tha. | 03:47 |
| joshz | *that. | 03:47 |
| joshz | It was a fresh install anyway. | 03:47 |
| ugly_duck | if i want to export my xorg.conf file on ubuntu to use on another computer, only problem is there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf can i create one? | 03:47 |
| asdjaputra | !enter | joshz | 03:47 |
| ubottu | joshz: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:47 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, what? Just go download the deb from packages.ubuntu.com and then dpkg - i it. | 03:47 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ubottu: blondes or brunettes? | 03:48 |
| ubottu | linux_is_my_hero: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:48 |
| allowoverride | thanks, that helps much more than man this or that.. thanks dude | 03:48 |
| magn3ts | joshz, well you can wait for better advice or give it a shot I suppose. Additionally, if you get that working, remember, try the "Ubuntu Classic". | 03:48 |
| DaSinge | finnaly the download is done! | 03:49 |
| joshz | magn3ts: I'd choose that at the login screen? | 03:49 |
| DaSinge | finally | 03:49 |
| bridean | Can anyone familiar with linux administration answer these questions? http://pastebin.com/bDx2zTy8 | 03:50 |
| magn3ts | joshz, yes. You click your username and then options pop up, beside Session: will be a drop down box and "Ubuntu Classic" should be a choice. That will give you compiz, but no Unity. If that fails again, try the Fallback session. | 03:50 |
| wabznasm | joshz: if you have user access set to 'no password' you won't see this screen | 03:50 |
| joshz | magn3ts: Okay. I'll try that if I can after the next install. I'll also let you know about the shadows. | 03:51 |
| allowoverride | is strongswan-nm (4.4.0-2ubuntu1) [universe] strongSwan plugin to interact with NetworkManager what i need? | 03:51 |
| magn3ts | bridean, it sounds like you're conflating issues of "internet" vs "intranet". I don't know what it means to have a password to the network as you outline it. | 03:51 |
| allowoverride | as listed on http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/net/ | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bridean: you won't need to "disable wine", its not a default app. Just don't install it. If you keep your users as users and not in the admin group most of this be managed for you | 03:51 |
| mrdeb | is the new dual core atom cpu that shows up as 4 cpus good for linux | 03:51 |
| magn3ts | bridean, I doubt that keyboards and mice have completely unique identifiers. | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | bridean: C compiling is available, you will just need to install the compiler | 03:51 |
| magn3ts | bridean, you could write said program. Forcing them to enter the information requires knowing how to hook it into the login process, not hard, but something to keep in mind. | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bridean: you will need a proxy server to filter sites as well as log access | 03:52 |
| magn3ts | bridean, if you install the C compiler, even "guest" users will be able to use it. | 03:52 |
| bridean | magn3ts, The wi-fi has internet access, but to use it you have to set the gateway IP, subnet IP, and so forth | 03:52 |
| joshz | magn3ts: I see a faint shadow around the cursor, I think. | 03:53 |
| magn3ts | bridean, out of the box, they'll be able to bring in executables on jump drives, but you can disable external media, again, if you know how. | 03:53 |
| allowoverride | actually its not! i do not see networkmanager on packages.whatever magn3ts. please make sure you post something i can use... | 03:53 |
| magn3ts | joshz, ok. Hm. | 03:53 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, pffft. | 03:53 |
| joshz | There shouldn't be a problem with downloading updates or third-party software, should there? | 03:53 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, I'll make sure and do that next time you yell in caps. | 03:53 |
| bridean | magn3ts, So I can't for example, install Netbeans java compiler and only allow certain users access to it? | 03:53 |
| magn3ts | joshz, shouldn't but I had problems with it during betas :S take that for what you will. | 03:54 |
| dee27 | how come files in missing in /usr/local/etc? | 03:54 |
| magn3ts | bridean, that's past the extent of my knowledge. I believe there are ways you can control who has access to what executables, maybe with groups? ActionParsnip might be able to chime in. | 03:54 |
| allowoverride | my bad, magn3ts im not in a good mood | 03:54 |
| bridean | magn3ts, If the executables are Windows executables and wine isn't installed, wouldn't they not be able to use them? | 03:55 |
| magn3ts | bridean, correct, I meant linux executables. | 03:55 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, isn't this roughly what you're looking for: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/network-manager-gnome | 03:55 |
| bridean | magn3ts, I don't know if the students are smart enough to create linux executables for hacking. | 03:55 |
| magn3ts | allowoverride, that page also includes a link at the bottom for network-manager. | 03:56 |
| allowoverride | thanks, appreciated | 03:56 |
| magn3ts | bridean, I would make the same assumption though I would've been able to had I desired. :P It's probably a safe assumption in my opinion. | 03:56 |
| bridean | magn3ts, I suspect they get Windows executables from people who make them available. | 03:56 |
| magn3ts | bridean, I would suspect the same, yes. | 03:56 |
| allowoverride | magn3ts: thats a lot of deps ! wow | 03:56 |
| soreau | bridean: a2) wine is not installed by default and thus, you do not need to 'disable it' b1) Users only need user access. On ubuntu, the root account is disabled by default. b2) You can configure individual use permissions on linux c1) Configure it as such c2) likewise c3) likewise c4) You can access users history c5) Doable at your own skills limitations Alt) Check the hardware device id's | 03:56 |
| bridean | magn3ts, The thing is, these are Koreans. Koreans are so group oriented (no original thought) that pretty much everybody just uses Windows | 03:57 |
| magn3ts | if you want an immutable log though, you'll need to do it at the network level. | 03:57 |
| joshz | Would there be any problem just going with the standard swap partition size, magn3ts? | 03:58 |
| magn3ts | soreau, would they have unique ids even from the same batch of KBs? I don't know how detailed things are at the usb level, just curious. | 03:58 |
| DaSinge | sorry again how to chack md5sums? | 03:58 |
| DaSinge | check | 03:58 |
| allowoverride | k im gonna give wicd a try to fix this bluetooth combo w/nic issue im having, wish me luck. bbiab with my findings... l8 | 03:58 |
| bazhang | !md5 | DaSinge | 03:58 |
| ubottu | DaSinge: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 03:58 |
| soreau | magn3ts: It might be a more advanced situation, indeed | 03:58 |
| bazhang | !hashes | DaSinge | 03:58 |
| bridean | magn3ts, A few questions then 1) Does it make sense to switch to linux? 2) If I do switch, would a different security model be better than the one I am thinking of? | 03:58 |
| ubottu | DaSinge: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 03:58 |
| magn3ts | bridean, I don't know what all your users need to be able to use or what Windows software they might miss, but I guess. | 03:59 |
| soreau | bridean: Finally, you might ask this in a channel that is more specific to linux since these queries are not specific to ubuntu (such as ##linux) | 03:59 |
| magn3ts | bridean, with proper tools, especially newer versions of Windows can be pretty securely locked down. | 03:59 |
| bridean | Well, Ubuntu would be the linux distro I would choose if I install it | 04:00 |
| bazhang | bridean, this is getting a bit offtopic, you should check the help, wiki and manual | 04:01 |
| bazhang | !manual | bridean | 04:01 |
| ubottu | bridean: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 04:01 |
| soreau | magn3ts: Please stick with the topic by not suggesting other OS's features | 04:01 |
| bazhang | !wiki > bridean | 04:01 |
| ubottu | bridean, please see my private message | 04:01 |
| bazhang | bridean, this is a channel for those troubleshooting actual install, ie , not whether to choose ubuntu or not | 04:02 |
| magn3ts | I can't take it anymore. | 04:02 |
| bazhang | magn3ts, take what | 04:02 |
| magn3ts | as if I'm dumb enough to answer that | 04:02 |
| bazhang | magn3ts, not sure what you're talking about | 04:03 |

| xxDiGiToLxx | does anyone know of a http/ftp download manager for ubuntu that has a web ui. like how transmission or sabnzbd works where you just copy link of torrent or nzb to start a download? | 04:10 |
| bullgard4 | Why is in Natty pre-installed Brasero but not sound-juicer? | 04:11 |
| allowoverride | ok, got wicd up no prob, just unchecked NM options. back to my original issue, bluetooth not working... brb | 04:12 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, they serve different functions, one is to get mp3 from a cd, one is to burn cd | 04:12 |
| soreau | bullgard4: Because Brasero is installed by default and sound-juicer isn't | 04:12 |
| bullgard4 | soreau: My question is why is Brasero installed by default and sound-juicer is not. | 04:13 |
| allowoverride | i have bluez loaded,,, what should i use,,,, sudo bluetooth start, sudo service bluetooth start, or something else? how confusing.... | 04:13 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, they serve different functions, they are not analogous | 04:14 |
| allowoverride | ... | 04:14 |
| soreau | bullgard4: Because that is just the way it is. That's like asking why drivers are installed by default but no 3D games are | 04:14 |
| allowoverride | soreau: pretty sour answer lol.. | 04:14 |
| xxDiGiToLxx | does anyone know of a http/ftp download manager for ubuntu that has a web ui. like how transmission or sabnzbd works where you just copy link of torrent or nzb to start a download? | 04:14 |
| allowoverride | aka sorry answer | 04:14 |
| soreau | allowoverride: sour questions get sour answers | 04:15 |
| soreau | s/sour/sorry | 04:15 |
| soreau | doesn't really make a difference | 04:15 |
| bullgard4 | bazhang, soreau Thank you very much for your answers. | 04:15 |
| Strife89 | Sound Juicer probably isn't installed because, in some countries, things like ripping CDs may be illegal | 04:15 |
| allowoverride | misunderstood questions get sour answers too it seems in here | 04:15 |
| bazhang | bullgard4, welcome | 04:15 |

| alesan | hi how do I launch openoffice from the command line? | 04:15 |
| allowoverride | ok bazhang back to my issue, scroll up, its right there :) | 04:15 |
| alesan | used to be ooffice or soffice | 04:16 |
| bazhang | alesan, use the name of the program, what version of ubuntu by the way | 04:16 |
| allowoverride | unless of course you dont know what i should do,, then please, someone else do jump right in ;) i appreciate real help | 04:16 |
| alesan | bazhang, yes, what is the "name of the program?" | 04:16 |
| alesan | bazhang, ubuntu 11.04 | 04:16 |
| bazhang | alesan, libreoffice is in 11.04 for example, thus my asking version of ubuntu | 04:16 |
| allowoverride | sudo service bluetooth status bluetooth is NOT running, which should i use, see above | 04:16 |
| allowoverride | before i do anything i want the right sequence of what to do next,,, im tired of all these diff ways to do the same thing | 04:17 |
| alesan | bazhang, can I get the rgular openoffice instead of "libreoffice" that sounds south-american? | 04:17 |
| allowoverride | alesan: libreoffice is the BOMB, use that for sure, forget the openoffice term | 04:17 |
| alesan | ok | 04:17 |
| alesan | allowoverride, libreoffice works from the command line | 04:17 |
| alesan | thanks | 04:18 |
| allowoverride | seriously, it really is 10x more and eye appealing | 04:18 |
| allowoverride | alesan: yadda, no one does cmdline stuff for documents anymore lol | 04:19 |
| allowoverride | except gedit from control - F2 | 04:19 |
| allowoverride | lol | 04:19 |
| allowoverride | alesan: a lot of what you see in the GUI works from cmdline, just a heads up ;) | 04:20 |
| allowoverride | like 90% | 04:20 |

| alesan | allowoverride, what are you talking about? | 04:20 |
| magn3ts | Will123456, what does "packed in" mean? | 04:21 |
| alesan | I wanted to configure thunderbird to use the correct application when I open a .doc file | 04:21 |

| Will123456 | magn3ts: i press it and nothing happens. i remember someone else having a similar problem, and someone recommended running a program that registered and printed back button press events. every button worked except for super. | 04:21 |
| magn3ts | alesan, trust me, you're better off ignoring him. | 04:21 |
| magn3ts | alesan, hold on. | 04:21 |
| alesan | magn3ts, well but he kind of helped me to find the solution | 04:22 |
| alesan | "libreoffice" is the name of the command I need to call | 04:22 |
| magn3ts | alesan, which office app do you want it to open in | 04:22 |
| magn3ts | alesan, for example Writer would be: `` libreoffice -writer %U `` | 04:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | why would a fresh install of ubuntu have rediculously slow internet when it was fine before i reinstalled ubuntu? | 04:22 |
| alesan | the one that is associated with the particular file | 04:22 |
| alesan | well if I have a .doc it should be smart enought to use the writer thing | 04:23 |
| magn3ts | alesan, lol it's making you match mime-types with programs, expecting it to be smart is asking a bit much. | 04:23 |
| Will123456 | linux_is_my_hero: dodgy wireless drivers? have you made sure you're fully upgraded | 04:23 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeah im upgrading right now...relaly wish i had a 40 foot ethernet cable | 04:23 |
| magn3ts | alesan, throwing random files at `libreoffice` may work. If it does, good for you I suppose :P | 04:23 |
| alesan | magn3ts, once I assign .doc to "libreoffice" then it opens writer, that's how it works | 04:24 |

| ActionParsnip | somethinginteres: yes | 04:39 |
| Will123456 | magn3ts: it's got a lot of advantages but also requires end users having to know about partitioning and make decisions about how much space to dedicate to which partition, which raises lots of problems in of itself. i would never go without a seperate /home partition myself | 04:40 |
| magn3ts | Will123456, yeah, I suppose so. | 04:40 |

| CppIsWeird | you can make a bin folder in your home directory and put executables in there so that you can use them as commands right? | 04:43 |
| soreau | CppIsWeird: Sure, provided the executables have a suitable environment in which to run | 04:44 |
| magn3ts | joshz, wow, I'm shocked that worked, it really probably shouldn't have. | 04:44 |
| CppIsWeird | well i did that and it still says it cant find the command, do i need to reboot or something? | 04:44 |
| * joshz shrugs | 04:44 | |
| magn3ts | joshz, well, it's not that it shouldn't have worked, but things shouldn't have been that messed up, it's surely a bug, but I'm not even sure where. | 04:44 |

| lighta | hi guys, how can I fork a message into different terminal ? | 04:46 |
| magn3ts | joshz, I don't think so :S you do know you're not getting unity now though, you're getting the plain old gnome 2 interface... not that there's anything wrong with that. just so you're aware. | 04:46 |
| CppIsWeird | hmm, no, its not. | 04:46 |
| soreau | CppIsWeird: You need to specify the full path the the executable if the directory containing the executable file is not in your $PATH | 04:46 |
| magn3ts | CppIsWeird, that's weird, it's set to be in the default ubuntu bash_profile I believe. | 04:47 |
| IcemanV9 | CppIsWeird: and make sure it's +x executable | 04:47 |
| joshz | magn3ts: Yeah, I don't mind. This is just gonna be a simple computer to take on vacation and do whatever web browsing and photo backups we need. I don't need any fancy graphics. | 04:47 |
| CppIsWeird | im using xubuntu, i didnt figure a question as basic as this would matter about the version. | 04:47 |
| CppIsWeird | everything is +x | 04:47 |
| CppIsWeird | its a clean install, so its the default | 04:48 |
| zykotick9 | CppIsWeird, for ~/bin to be in your path, it had to be present when you logged in. Did you just create the directory? | 04:48 |
| CppIsWeird | yes, so logout/in? | 04:49 |

| Trasp | ActionParsnip, "That creates seamless transition to the graphical login screen.

| ActionParsnip | soreau: I guess | 05:22 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: cheers :D | 05:22 |
| rww | one of them mentioned it at some point: | 05:23 |
| rww | compiz 0.9 was included because 0.8->0.9 switched programming languages, so they could either write Unity in the old one and then port it /again/, or write it in the new one and then include compiz 0.9 | 05:23 |
| magn3ts | I would completely naively guess unity. | 05:23 |
| rww | i think it came up at the desktop Q&A on Monday | 05:23 |
| rww | magn3ts wins a cookie | 05:23 |
| soreau | That was the main reason indeed. They needed a way to implement unity quickly, and compiz happened to be it. | 05:24 |
| magn3ts | I mean, lets be fair, unity isn't crazy finished or stable in it's own right. I'll just say I give a pass to people that say skip 11.04 more than "ditch ubuntu cause of unity" | 05:24 |
| rww | oh, it was going to be re-written in Compiz either way. Clutter was a performance nightmare, and Ubuntu already used Compiz, so... | 05:25 |
| soreau | magn3ts: In all fairness though, they released unity prematurely | 05:25 |
| lucky711x | where is samba shares configured now in 11.04? I know shares used to be configured in smb.conf but if you right click and share a folder what config file is that saved in? | 05:25 |
| magn3ts | soreau, heh, no contention here. I think Mark was antsy about a visual refresh, he's been talking UI and UI revamp for quite some time | 05:25 |
| soreau | They should have released 0.9 and tested those waters before dumping on a plethora of other new code in addition | 05:25 |
| rww | soreau: I don't think so. I don't think it's stable and finished, but I also think you can't have a 6-month release cycle and always have every plan stable and finished. That's what LTS is for. | 05:26 |
| rww | and I'd rather have it be released now and polished for two cycles than released in oneiric and polished for one. | 05:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Wulf: the proxy is simply the server use to get web access | 05:28 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: where? | 05:28 |
| magn3ts | drawmeat, just use gparted. lol. | 05:28 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: the proxy is not used. | 05:28 |
| soreau | And the fact is, that it was | 05:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulf: in sources.list is one place | 05:28 |
| drawmeat | magn3ts, from the command line? | 05:28 |
| magn3ts | drawmeat, gparted is GUI, is that okay? | 05:28 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: don't have it | 05:28 |
| rww | soreau: The plural of "opinion" isn't "fact". | 05:28 |
| drawmeat | magn3ts, yes thank you | 05:28 |
| soreau | rww: I never said it has | 05:28 |
| soreau | I was just stating a fact | 05:28 |
| rww | soreau: It isn't a fact. | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulf: you must, or apt-get and software centre won't work | 05:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulf: it's in /etc/apt | 05:29 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: please reread my question | 05:29 |
| soreau | unity is a good idea, but it was released before it was stable. Thus, prematurely | 05:29 |
| drawmeat | magn3ts, i looked for it in the software center, is it under a diffrent name? | 05:29 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: that happens during the installation process | 05:29 |
| rww | soreau: "before it was stable" does not imply "premature". | 05:29 |
| soreau | rww: Again, to each their own | 05:29 |
| magn3ts | drawmeat, uh, it should be there under that name | 05:30 |
| soreau | I see this as a fact but not everyone is going to see eye-to-eye on this one | 05:30 |
| rww | That's self-contradictory. | 05:30 |
| soreau | In any event, it's really offtopic for this channel | 05:30 |
| magn3ts | this might be a language barrier maybe? | 05:30 |
| Will123456 | this is like the geekiest western gun duel in the world | 05:30 |
| bazhang | soreau, at any rate this is getting offtopic, thanks | 05:30 |

| bazhang | Will123456, thats hardly an ubuntu question | 05:30 |
| soreau | bazhang: You're welcome ;) | 05:30 |
| magn3ts | wabznasm, I think it's "summon bazhang". | 05:31 |

| AndroUser2 | Hi I have added lxde desktop to my ubuntu install due to old laptop is it safe to remove gnome? | 05:33 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: no. | 05:33 |
| Wulf | ActionParsnip: Do you know what "kickstart" (or kickseed?!) is? | 05:33 |
| bazhang | AndroUser2, sure | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulf: i know pxe, i'll look up kickstart | 05:33 |
| AndroUser2 | OK thanks | 05:33 |
| bazhang | AndroUser2, more involved than removing ubuntu-desktop though | 05:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulf: ahh, i see | 05:34 |
| bazhang | !purelxde | AndroUser2 | 05:34 |
| ubottu | AndroUser2: If you want to remove all !KDE, !GNOME and !XFCE packages and have a default !Lubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelxde » | 05:34 |

| blargh_ | i am trying to boot from a USB drive (win7) but it tells me when checking the partitions "NTFS5: no grldr" and stops doing anything at "… EXT2 _" | 05:38 |
| godofmischief | I've edited ftab, do i need to reboot to make changes take effect, or can i just logout and log back in? | 05:39 |
| rww | godofmischief: depending on the changes, you'll need to reboot or "sudo mount -a" | 05:39 |
| kylemcgill | godofmischief: you should be able to reload ftab with sudo mount -a | 05:40 |
| kylemcgill | ahhh bet me to it | 05:40 |

| chicognu | I delete /var/lib/dpkg/status how to fix it ? | 05:47 |
| compubomb | yes. | 05:47 |
| blargh_ | how do i need to set up a partition for win7 installation | 05:49 |
| blargh_ | when booting it tells me "NTFS5: no grldr" | 05:49 |
| zykotick9 | blargh_, ##windows is probably a better spot to be asking | 05:50 |
| blargh_ | i asked there to, no answer yet | 05:50 |
| blargh_ | *too | 05:50 |
| blargh_ | also, i want to set up the partition with gparted | 05:51 |
| lucky711x | blargh_: try this http://tinyurl.com/6yggaqd | 05:51 |
| capri | for win7 you'll need a seperated start partition | 05:51 |
| Yai | boot in "AHCI" or "IDE" mode ? | 05:51 |
| lucky711x | where is samba share stored now in 11.04? I know they used to be stored in /etc/smb.conf, but when you right click and share a folder now where is that config saved to? what file? | 05:52 |
| jordan_ | blargh, if your duel booting best to install linux over windows | 05:52 |
| blargh_ | lucky711x: yeah, that helps exactly zero. | 05:52 |
| jordan_ | personally i never have installed linux then windows before | 05:52 |
| jgeli | hi, am running Natty on a laptop with AMD Fusion e350 and 8GB of ram. I have these freezes that I dont have with Win 7 on the same machine. how do i know whats causing the lock ups? | 05:53 |
| soreau | jgeli: Check logs such as /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog | 05:54 |
| jgeli | soreau, what am I looking for in those files? | 05:54 |
| blargh_ | jordan: once i installed win7 over linux, then i could start linux from the bootmanager, so no problem | 05:54 |
| ParadigmUltra | Do people still use Comanche to configure Apache? | 05:55 |
| blargh_ | but now i don't even get to the installation because of "NTFS5: no grldr" | 05:55 |
| jordan_ | blargh, i just have no clue | 05:55 |
| soreau | jgeli: any interesting messages indicating a problem | 05:55 |
| jgeli | soreau, ill try to post some and hope someone can help | 05:56 |
| ParadigmUltra | I'm pretty suprised that Apache isn't listed in the Software Center | 05:56 |
| _Neytiri_ | is there a good narrator out there? | 05:56 |
| soreau | jgeli: Lockups are usually caused by a kernel module (driver) issue but it can be hard to say which. Many times, it's the graphics driver | 05:57 |
| jgeli | sorea | 05:57 |
| jgeli | soreau: i am having issues with this ATI driver, Apparently Unity doesnt like ATI hardware and this fusion APU is relatively new | 05:58 |
| lucky711x | in case anyone needs to know samba shares are now stored in /var/lib/samba/usershares | 05:58 |
| zykotick9 | lucky711x, i think if you install the full samba you'll find the config is still in /etc - it's probably just the "personal file sharing" that uses that /var/lib/.. path | 05:59 |
| lucky711x | blargh_, what steps did you take to install ubuntu and win7? | 05:59 |
| soreau | jgeli: If you've installed the proprietary fglrx driver, remove it. If you're using the default radeon driver, ask in #radeon for support | 05:59 |
| jgeli | sorea | 05:59 |
| jgeli | soreau: fglrx is the one that works. the open source one does not. | 06:00 |
| ParadigmUltra | Anyone know a good program to configure the Apache server? | 06:00 |
| lucky711x | zykotick9, in the /var/lib/samba/usershares | 06:00 |
| lucky711x | is where shares config files are store when you right click a folder and share it | 06:00 |
| soreau | jgeli: It works, but for newer radeon gpu's, you may need to update the driver stack on the latest version of ubuntu by installing xorg-edgers repo | 06:01 |
| zykotick9 | lucky711x, ya that's with the "personal file sharing" or whatever it's called | 06:01 |
| blargh_ | lucky711x: i installed ubuntu some time ago and now i have created a bootable USB drive to install win7 from. When booting from this it stops at checking the partitions, saying one is "NTFS5: no grldr" and the last one is "EXT2" | 06:01 |
| soreau | jgeli: It's best to remove fglrx and get help in #radeon | 06:01 |
| jgeli | soreau: im on the syslog but somehow cant find what i need to find. | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: do you have unpartitioned space on the drive(s) | 06:01 |
| jgeli | soreau: nothing that says error or fail or something like that | 06:02 |
| blargh_ | ActionParsnip: nope | 06:02 |
| lucky711x | zykotick9, but you can still use the smb.conf for shares but the /var/lib/samba/usershares | 06:02 |
| lucky711x | seems easier to me | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: but you do have an NTFS partition? | 06:02 |
| blargh_ | yes, two | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: ok then i'd question the install media | 06:02 |
| blargh_ | the empty one i wanted to install win7 to is /dev/sda1 | 06:02 |
| blargh_ | the usb drive is an exact copy of the Win7 DVD | 06:03 |
| blargh_ | NTFS formatted, boot flag set | 06:03 |
| capri | blargh: you need more than one partition | 06:04 |
| capri | as i told you before you need a seperated boot partition | 06:04 |
| blargh_ | i have set the boot flag too on the empty NTFS partition | 06:05 |
| nit-wit | windows 7 can be installed in one partition unless you need the bitlocker on the ultimate | 06:05 |
| blargh_ | nit-wit: its not Ultimate, it is Pro | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: does the Win7 DVD allow you to copy it exactly? Does it not need extra software etc? | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: boot flags are moot, you use grub now | 06:06 |
| blargh_ | ActionParsnip: it looked just the same as the DVD, don't know but i'm pretty sure / what do I do with grub? | 06:07 |
| melrockz | Hi everyone, SMplayer is not working in Natty... no video appears, though command line mplayer plays the same video. What could be the issue? | 06:07 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, change the VO in smplayer, should be in the preferences/settings somewhere | 06:08 |
| melrockz | The VO? Video is set to xv. | 06:08 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, from cli try "mplayer -vo xv FOO" and see if it works. VO = Video Output | 06:09 |
| melrockz | Thanks, I'll try that... | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | blargh_: it will boot the OSes once installed. I'd ask in ##windows to make sure the USB stick is made correctly | 06:10 |
| wirehead | how would I resolve the "checking battery state" hang that occurs after installing a second video card? | 06:10 |
| blargh_ | I will try to make the USB stick again from scratch using unetbootin | 06:10 |
| melrockz | No, 'mplayer -vo xv' does not work! | 06:10 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, so in smplayer change to something else | 06:11 |
| Tommy_nmw | hi | 06:11 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, gl might be a good choice, x11 will almost always work (but has limited abilities) | 06:11 |
| Tommy_nmw | how to setup CDMA800 Mhz EVDO Internet connection on ubuntu 10.04 | 06:12 |
| Tommy_nmw | ? | 06:12 |
| melrockz | Looks like x11 mode works in mplayer... I'll try that in smplayer now... | 06:12 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, hold on I know a thumb loader that works with W7 i have to find it. | 06:12 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, x11 probably doesn't have "real" fullscreen! | 06:12 |
| melrockz | Oops, GL does not work, btw I have old Intel 845GL onboard graphics only :( | 06:13 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ this is an excellent tool. | 06:13 |
| blargh_ | ok, thanks | 06:13 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, try x11 and test if fullscreen works | 06:14 |
| AlexDevilLX | Is this phrase correct: "somewhen we will all fall down" ? | 06:14 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, the method you used will work if you extract the iso to the thumb as well, IE ntfs partion on thumb and a boot flag, then exstract to it. | 06:14 |
| melrockz | K, thanks. One more Q, Doesn't Empathy hang when we try to access IRC chat? Can anything be done 4 that? | 06:15 |
| Kaoloi | hi all | 06:17 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, do you have any other IM's configured before you tried IRC? If not, try configuring something else first. BTW, IM clients make poor IRC clients. | 06:17 |
| sweat | ls | 06:17 |
| sweat | sorry--force of habbit | 06:18 |
| melrockz | I see. What would u suggest as a proper IRC client 4 ubuntu? | 06:18 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, xchat is popular | 06:18 |
| sweat | melrockz: irssi | 06:18 |
| blargh_ | nit-wit: is there an english web site? | 06:19 |
| zykotick9 | melrockz, FYI irssi is a cli client | 06:19 |
| sweat | it's all cli on irc | 06:19 |
| andydam | Hi, I'm trying to get my audio to work on Ubuntu 10.10. | 06:19 |
| melrockz | Oh, I just configured smplayer to use x11, still no vid appears... | 06:19 |
| andydam | I have an ALC662, and I can't get any audio to come out. | 06:19 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, if you have the flash block on it wont translate, it is on the translation page second download. | 06:20 |
| Beyond | andydam that sounds like a problem. | 06:20 |
| melrockz | btw, are there any proper repos for mplayer and smplayer 4 natty? Looks like the ones I found support only Lucid. | 06:20 |
| andydam | Beyond, trololololololol. | 06:20 |
| andydam | Can someone help me with my no audio problem? | 06:20 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, I hit the reload with the flash working and get a translate drop drown. | 06:21 |
| sweat | andydam: is your user in the audio group | 06:21 |
| andydam | :| | 06:21 |
| andydam | sweat, explain | 06:21 |
| sweat | andydam: groups USERNAME | 06:21 |

| andydam | sweat, andy : andy adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 06:22 |
| zykotick9 | sweat, FYI just typeing "groups" will show all groups your logged on user is a part of | 06:22 |
| sweat | andydam: usermod andy -a -G audio | 06:22 |
| andydam | user 'audio' does not exist | 06:23 |
| nit-wit | blargh_, the only other idiosyncrasy I have found with this app is I have to use gparted to make a fat3 that the app accepts.2 | 06:23 |
| nit-wit | *fat32 | 06:23 |
| sweat | andydam: apt-get install pulseaudio and then start-pulseaudio-x11 | 06:24 |
| blargh_ | I'll try with unetbootin first | 06:24 |
| andydam | sweat, pulseaudio already installed | 06:24 |
| andydam | sweat, Failure: Module initalization failed | 06:24 |
| andydam | alright nvm | 06:25 |
| andydam | i started with sudo | 06:25 |
| andydam | sweat, should I reboot and see if its working? | 06:25 |
| zykotick9 | andydam, "grep audio /etc/group" do you get output? | 06:25 |
| andydam | Or are there more steps? | 06:25 |
| andydam | audio:x:29:pulse,andy | 06:26 |
| andydam | . | 06:26 |
| sweat | andydam: try playing audio from terminal with sudio APP whatever.avi or whatever--see if it plays under that | 06:26 |
| sweat | *sudo | 06:26 |
| andydam | wait what | 06:26 |
| andydam | uhhh | 06:26 |
| sweat | execute something from sudo | 06:27 |
| andydam | sweat, I don't know what to execute. | 06:28 |
| andydam | :| | 06:28 |
| orwells-iphone | sudo rm -rf / | 06:28 |

| andydam | sweat, nothing. | 06:31 |
| andydam | I'm not getting any sound. | 06:32 |
| sweat | orwells-iphone: i might do sudo time rm... it'd be neat to see how long it takes | 06:32 |
| andydam | Anything else I can do to try to get it working? | 06:33 |
| Trasp | is it possible to get a machine to automatically log in to a user and run the command startx at boot? | 06:33 |
| andydam | epic rage | 06:34 |

| zykotick9 | Trasp, inorder to get autologin working I've only ever seen that work with GDM, best of luck though | 06:34 |
| Trasp | crap... | 06:35 |
| Trasp | well... is it possible to start fluxbox from gdm? | 06:35 |
| zykotick9 | Trasp, yes, but i haven't done it in a LONG time. | 06:35 |
| Trasp | and do I have to install a shitload of librarys to get gdm working? | 06:35 |
| blargh_ | what the hell - i am trying to create a 2.3GB ISO with brasero. all it does is create an image checksum and then finish with a 2.0 MB ISO file ... | 06:35 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, that's a relief atleast | 06:36 |
| sweat | i think andy had the usermod command in reverse.. i gave it to him the right way | 06:36 |
| zykotick9 | Trasp, probably a lot less work just to log in ; | 06:36 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, want my bitcoinminer to kick up on boot since I won't be around the machines too much and someone else might have to reboot them if something happens | 06:37 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, yeah, but I've got my reasons as mentioned :/ | 06:37 |
| Trasp | And diablominer which performs best on my machine must be run on X | 06:37 |
| kingmilo | hi gents. I am booting the Alternate Install medium, however I dont think my graphics card is capable of displaying the nice install options so i only get install and expert install but my real goal is to install ltsp, so how do i tell my install i want to install ltsp from the lesser install options menu? | 06:38 |
| zykotick9 | kingmilo, you are aware that Alternate is text only? | 06:39 |
| kingmilo | zykotick9, yes, but before that you get the normal install menu, nice graphical menu where u can choose ur install and then it will drop to text when i select ltsp. The problem is the nice graphical install menu cannot be displayed so i get a text install menu without the ltsp install option if that makes sense? | 06:40 |
| kingmilo | so how do i specify i want an ltsp install from the text boot/install menu? | 06:41 |
| zykotick9 | kingmilo, i'm not familiar with ltsp sorry. | 06:41 |
| kingmilo | :/ | 06:41 |
| e_t_ | I thought you had to use either Edubuntu or Ubuntu Server to get the ltsp option. | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | e_t_: you can install server apps on the desktop if you wish | 06:43 |
| kingmilo | e_t_, you can use the Edubuntu, but the Alternate is where normal ltsp is and thats how that is installed | 06:44 |

| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: i thought it was consistent, what makes it change? | 07:00 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, for DDG's explanation see http://dontbubble.us/ | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | soulis77-SE: add the partner repo in software centre too, you can get java there too | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: thanks I didn't think pigeons liked bubbles | 07:01 |
| KonataFB | ACtionParsnip: true, mainly just wanted a gui as a slighly smoother transition, sicne all my systems at windows bar the server. | 07:01 |
| soulis77-SE | ActionParsnip: I have added it. I don't have problem with installation. It is after that Im missing a plugin. The plugin that I after searching should have installed with the installation procedure. | 07:02 |

| zykotick9 | checoimg, doesn't "sudo apt-get install xfce4" work? | 07:23 |
| godofmischief | like for example firefox, dolphin, terminal | 07:23 |
| checoimg | ok | 07:24 |
| Trasp | dc5ala, well... that's not an option | 07:24 |
| sweat | Trasp: a command at boot.. create a script, something like exec whatever flags, name it, stick it in /etc/init.d and then update-rc.d nameofthatscript defaults | 07:24 |

| zykotick9 | Trasp, "gnome-terminal -e foo.sh" maybe? | 07:25 |
| checoimg | where did you send it ubotu? | 07:25 |
| checoimg | ubottu* | 07:25 |
| NCS_One | do Î have to install something to play mkv files ok? On Totem I'm getting alot of Aborted | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | checoimg: in a new tab in your client | 07:26 |
| zykotick9 | checoimg, ubottu is a bot - i just wanted to let you know you can use TAB to complete Nicks - you typoed mine | 07:26 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, I do not use gnome :/ | 07:26 |
| checoimg | Install VLC in the meanwhile NCS_One | 07:26 |
| e_t_ | NCS_One, mkv is a container format. If you're getting an abort, it's probably a codec problem. | 07:26 |
| checoimg | Ok I just saw itubottu | 07:26 |
| dc5ala | Trasp, ah okay, i misunderstood, with "boot" i have something else in mind ;) | 07:26 |
| zykotick9 | Trasp, xterm has the same -e option | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | NCS_One: you may need w32codecs from medibuntu (i assume 32bit OS) | 07:27 |

| checoimg | Thank you Ubottu! | 07:27 |
| NCS_One | e_t_: what do you recommend? | 07:27 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, Nice =) thanks! | 07:27 |
| NCS_One | ActionParsnip: no, 64 | 07:27 |
| sweat | Trasp: i supposed you could adjust your .bashrc to execute a terminal on bootup | 07:27 |
| zykotick9 | NCS_One, fyi mkv is a container so it can have lots of different codecs inside - there is a w64codecs in medibuntu as well | 07:27 |
| checoimg | duhamelski, have t=you tried the repair mode when you enter grub? | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamelski: can you ping dns and gateway. Can you ping the server via name or ip? | 07:28 |
| duhamelski | no | 07:28 |
| com64 | I'm having trouble transcoding with mencoder. I get "Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libfaac." | 07:28 |

| ActionParsnip | NCS_One: then w64codecs | 07:28 |
| checoimg | zykotick9, htnkyou about the bot | 07:28 |
| checoimg | thank you* | 07:28 |
| Trasp | sweat, I wanted to know how to run a terminal and make it terminal run a specific command, I know how to xinit and else, but zykotick9 helped me | 07:29 |

| zykotick9 | com64, if you are trying to make MP4 files i'd recommend using Handbrake, AAC is crippled in the default Ubuntu repo | 07:29 |

| duhamelski | ActionParsnip: any clue for debugging this? | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamelski: can you ping your default gateway? | 07:30 |
| zykotick9 | com64, i'd guess Handbrake would work for that (but i don't have a PSP so can't be sure) | 07:30 |

| e-DIO-t | yo! | 07:37 |
| e_t_ | Fudge: add a line like "dns-nameservers x.x.x.x" | 07:38 |
| Fudge | thank you | 07:38 |
| ActionParsnip | duhamelski: worth a try. You can always remove it or reboot to revert | 07:38 |

| zykotick9 | e_t_, Fudge sorry my bad. I didn't know you could but nameservers in the interface file. | 07:40 |

| wabznasm | phaidros: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/my-weather-indicator-new-ubuntu-weather.html | 07:55 |
| wabznasm | phaidros: though there are a couple at least | 07:55 |
| e_t_ | rooted-insideme: guessing based on (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems), I'd go with cacti. | 07:57 |
| phaidros | wabznasm: yeah I know, but I am specifically looking for the one coupled to the clock, it came with stock ubuntu, though. because the standalone applet fails here with compiz and even doesnt find its location database and such | 07:57 |
| rooted-insideme | e_t_: ty bud | 07:57 |
| wabznasm | phaidros: nah - that one kept working/failing depending on the revision with me to, so maybe poor recommendation | 07:58 |
| phaidros | :) | 07:58 |
| sweat | rooted-insideme: i'm just a desktop user--icewm has me covered with a netstat icon in the bottom of the screen for bandwidth ups and downs | 07:58 |
| wabznasm | phaidros: go conky? | 07:58 |
| phaidros | If I remember correctly I had within the clock thingie in gnomepanel/indicator a button "shwo weather also" or alike .. | 07:58 |
| phaidros | wabznasm: nah, conky is nice, but pointless if gnome panel is running lotsa stuff already | 07:59 |
| wabznasm | phaidros: fairy nuff. I just ditched gnome so an other may have a better suggestion | 08:00 |
| phaidros | wabznasm: heh, I'd go for i3 or ion3 if I'd find the time to get really used to it, maybe with conky. all others like awesome and friends I didnt like too much | 08:01 |
| wabznasm | phaidros: 3rd day with awesome here...interesting | 08:02 |
| phaidros | and for sure, gnome is bloated , but kde is ugly (imho, no pun to any reader here!, xfce isnt as lightweight as it used to be, and lxde is nice but not quite there feature and usability wise ..) | 08:02 |
| phaidros | so, for daily use I stick to it .. and I want this darn weather thing back :D | 08:02 |

| lonix | phaidros: i guess i have to look for a new desktop enviorment as of 11.10 | 08:04 |
| phaidros | lonix: you just can use gnome classic, so unity doesnt get fired up | 08:04 |
| wabznasm | lonix: pretty much the stage I got to. I did think unity was attractive, but too cumbersome for mwe | 08:04 |
| phaidros | wait, you said 11.10 .. they'll ditch gnome classic ? | 08:04 |

| lasertroid | Hi | 08:08 |
| phaidros | rooted-insideme: look for /etc/network/interfaces and configure your eth1, then configure in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd or alike your dhcp3 server to listen on that interface, you can probably check /etc/default/dhcp* for standard settings before | 08:09 |

| rooted-insideme | phaidros: looks like dhcp server isnt' installed | 08:20 |
| rooted-insideme | just dhcp-client | 08:20 |
| phaidros | rooted-insideme: so, install it? try "aptitude search dhcp | grep server" choose one and install it | 08:21 |
| shyam | is it how we can regain control of system when it hangs..using the system monitor? | 08:21 |
| rooted-insideme | yeah i am | 08:22 |
| tester | shyam, ctrl+alt+f2 then sign in then enter password then so a sudo /ect/init.d/gdm restart | 08:22 |

| sandstorm | checoimg: I just started using it but I already googled the errors, no solutions. | 08:25 |
| tester | it is slow because it is 3.9 gigs out of the box | 08:26 |
| bazhang | tester, how does your own OS relate to ubuntu support | 08:26 |
| rooted-insideme | YAY adding eth1 to the interfaces broke now there's no internet on the box | 08:26 |
| tester | bazhang, it is Ubuntu at the core | 08:26 |
| tester | And alwas will be | 08:27 |
| bazhang | tester, its a derivative, not Ubuntu | 08:27 |
| tester | Yes sir | 08:27 |
| tester | Is there something wrong with that ? | 08:27 |
| bazhang | tester, its offtopic here. try sharing with #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:27 |
| tester | bazhang, what is off topic I am asking about remastersys but I will ask there too | 08:28 |
| bazhang | tester, creating your own personal OS is fine, buts its not supported here, so offtopic | 08:29 |
| bazhang | tester, remastersys from where | 08:30 |
| tester | bazhang, what if some one wants to back up there system ??? | 08:30 |
| Polysics | hello | 08:30 |
| tester | bazhang, look up | 08:30 |
| Polysics | newbie question | 08:30 |
| Polysics | is there a way to "bookmark" SSH connections on the command line? | 08:30 |
| bazhang | !info remastersys | tester | 08:30 |
| ubottu | tester: Package remastersys does not exist in natty | 08:30 |
| ikonia | tester: building a derivative and backing up a machine are two totally seperate tasks | 08:31 |
| Polysics | so i do not have to type the whole user@address thing? | 08:31 |
| Trasp | whatever I do, the more problems I run into | 08:31 |
| Polysics | i know, i am lazy :-D | 08:31 |
| tester | I am devopling a os and it is in gnome 2 and kde plasma with a bunch of programs and when I make a iso of the the os It goes to defult kde when I try to use remastersys to back up the whole system it says that I need to clean I have tried to move the .gnome file and .kde file but I think I may have screwed up I moved it to /usr/share/applications/ but still nothing | 08:31 |
| tester | <tester> all of the programs are under lost and found after I make the iso ???? ohh and I am using ubuntu 10.10 with a beefed up kernel | 08:31 |
| tester | <tester> 2.6.38-8-generic | 08:31 |
| tester | sorry that was ment for bazhang | 08:32 |
| zykotick9 | Polysics, you could create a script, or use "history | grep ssh" to see previous connections you've used. | 08:32 |
| th0r | Polysics: you can write a simple script that contains the command line. Put it in /usr/local/bin and make sure you change it to be executable | 08:32 |
| bazhang | tester, then contact the remastersys people | 08:32 |
| zykotick9 | th0r, ~/bin would be better | 08:32 |
| Polysics | yeah, a bash script looks the easiest | 08:32 |
| Polysics | thanks | 08:32 |
| sandstorm | hello I've installed ubuntu with wubi and after booting into ubuntu I am getting errors such as: "Bad LUN (0:1) Bad Target Number (1:0)" etc. and it is whining about radeon graphics card. what might be the problem? google and such returns no results. Thanks. | 08:32 |

| Trasp | I'm starting an application through ~/fluxbox/startup (xterm -e /home/trasp/dir/application -foo -bar) but it complain over that it can't find the OpenCL-librarys and I can't figure out why... The program runs just fine if i start it manually | 08:33 |
| th0r | zykotick9: yes, but that won't be in the path I think | 08:33 |
| bazhang | tester, pardon? | 08:33 |
| zykotick9 | th0r, actually it is | 08:33 |
| ikonia | tester: this topic is not for #ubuntu, do you fully understand | 08:33 |
| tester | Yes I understand | 08:33 |
| Marg2010 | exit | 08:33 |
| ikonia | tester: ok, then please stop discussing it | 08:33 |
| th0r | zykotick9: ah....ubuntu I guess. running debian so my world is a bit different <smile> | 08:34 |
| bridean | Where can I ask about firefox? | 08:34 |
| tester | ikonia, but I was honest I could have said How to back up my sys with out talking about any thing else that is all I have to say GREAT SUPPORT | 08:35 |
| Trasp | zykotick9, You've been helpful earlier, no ideas on this one? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | tester: no you couldn't it still wouldn't have been supported | 08:35 |
| bazhang | bridean, how did you install the plugin, from where, and which one | 08:35 |
| explosion123 | Does anyone of you know why my monitor is 1360x768, but when i set the resolution to that, the screen is too wide? | 08:35 |

| MACscr | ok, so i have a particular app on my ubuntu system running as user foo, but my regular user is bar that i create all my files with, etc. I have a folder that i add new files to all the time on the fly and i need to make sure user foo has access to them. I am assuming i need to do something with chown/chmod. But not 100% sure and even more, not sure how to do it and make sure i dont have to manually do anything to the files every time i | 08:36 |

| bazhang | bridean, thats not the one you want then | 08:39 |

| bridean | bazhang, I think so | 08:39 |
| Polysics | who defines THEMSELVES as "white hat" or "black hat" or "whatever hat"? | 08:39 |
| Polysics | well, aside from red hat .-d | 08:39 |

| koichirose | Hello. I edited /etc/environment to put in some environment variables. Now I can't login to ubuntu anymore. I write my password at login, the screen goes fuzzy for a moment then I'm back at the login screen. What can I do? | 08:43 |
| pepi_ | hi i need help how to install 2 packages (private if possible) thank you! | 08:44 |
| bazhang | pepi_, ask here | 08:44 |
| th0r | koichirose: you will probably need to try to reset /etc/environment. Just so you know...those new definitions should probably have gone into .bashrc | 08:45 |
| koichirose | th0r, -_- why does it say not recommended here, then? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Session-wide%20environment%20variables | 08:46 |
| koichirose | th0r, and below it says 'should be placed into /etc/environment' | 08:46 |
| pepi_ | i need to install java | 08:47 |
| bazhang | pepi_, the browser plugins? | 08:47 |
| pepi_ | i downloaded it with firefox in the default download directory | 08:47 |
| th0r | koichirose: right...for a system change that would be the proper place to put it I guess | 08:47 |
| bazhang | pepi_, that is not the way to install things in Ubuntu | 08:47 |
| pepi_ | it is called jre-6u26-linux-i586-rpm.bin | 08:47 |
| pepi_ | okay, so i delete that? | 08:47 |
| bazhang | pepi_, yes | 08:48 |
| pepi_ | okay | 08:48 |
| koichirose | th0r, anyway I'm stuck now. Can't even get into recovery console | 08:48 |
| pepi_ | well, i have another file there too, it's called opera_11.50.1074_i386.deb | 08:48 |
| bazhang | pepi_, install from the synaptic package manager | 08:48 |
| pepi_ | i need to install opera (the web browser) | 08:48 |

| pepi_ | what i do in the synaptic? | 08:49 |
| bazhang | zolgar, libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org | 08:49 |
| th0r | koichirose: you can boot up a livecd...mount the hard drive to a mount point from the livecd, then edit the file from there | 08:49 |
| pepi_ | bazhang ? | 08:50 |
| bazhang | pepi_, you want the java plugin for opera? or is this a separate issue | 08:50 |
| koichirose | I hoped I could get into the terminal directly.. downloading ubuntu now. | 08:50 |
| th0r | zolgar: you probably need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu | 08:51 |
| pepi_ | i need to install 2 things: opera and java | 08:51 |
| zolgar | Would DL'ing Ubuntu Restricted Extras from the software center help? | 08:51 |
| bazhang | pepi_, just checking on opera, the java is in the partner repo | 08:52 |
| bazhang | !partner | pepi_ | 08:53 |
| ubottu | pepi_: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 08:53 |
| pepi_ | i write that in terminal? | 08:53 |
| bazhang | zolgar, not that I'm aware. you need the libdvdcss2 for that from medibuntu.org | 08:53 |
| zolgar | bazhang: okay | 08:54 |
| bazhang | pepi_, or go into synaptic package manager and enable the partner repo | 08:54 |
| zolgar | bazhang: okay i got it as a tar.gz file. do i extract it then run something? | 08:54 |
| bazhang | pepi_, once you have reloaded the packages list, then search for java | 08:54 |
| bazhang | zolgar, its a .deb from medibuntu.org | 08:55 |
| pepi_ | from where i enable it | 08:55 |
| gaurav_natty | my mircophone is not working i think in alsamixer some setting r distrubed | 08:55 |
| bazhang | pepi_, do you have synaptic package manager open in front of you? | 08:55 |
| pepi_ | yes | 08:55 |
| zolgar | bazhang: my bad dl'd the source XD | 08:55 |
| th0r | zolgar: there should be an ubuntu page about adding medibuntu to synaptic | 08:56 |
| sandstorm | hello I've installed ubuntu with wubi and after booting into ubuntu I am getting errors such as: "Bad LUN (0:1) Bad Target Number (1:0)" etc. and it is whining about radeon graphics card. what might be the problem? google and such returns no results. Thanks. | 08:56 |
| zolgar | bazhang: would a restart be in order? | 08:56 |
| jnsl_ | how can i update to the latest version of tar? | 08:56 |
| bazhang | pepi_, see the tabs? | 08:56 |
| bazhang | pepi_, the tab that says 'other software'? | 08:56 |
| pepi_ | jeh | 08:57 |
| zolgar | bazhang: guess not. its working :D thanks tons | 08:57 |
| bazhang | th0r, he can just dl the deb, no need for the repo | 08:57 |
| bazhang | pepi_, so click the tab other software, put a check on the canonical partners | 08:57 |
| pepi_ | alright | 08:58 |
| gaurav_natty | my mirocphone is not woking | 08:58 |
| bazhang | gaurav_natty, adjust in alsamixer then | 08:58 |
| pepi_ | there is several javas, which one im supposed to instal? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | pepi_, close that window, then hit reload | 08:58 |
| pepi_ | install* | 08:58 |
| bazhang | pepi_, did you update the sources yet? ie reload? | 08:59 |
| pepi_ | yes | 08:59 |
| bazhang | pepi_, so search for the sun-java packages | 08:59 |
| hacking_u | is here anyone who installed gnome 3 on natty? | 09:00 |

| Rouse | wats that | 09:00 |
| bazhang | hacking_u, probably, but its not supported, and breaks things so offtopic | 09:00 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | hacking_u | 09:00 |
| ubottu | hacking_u: 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. | 09:00 |
| === kev is now known as Guest45363 | ||
| hacking_u | okay, i got it | 09:00 |
| jnsl_ | how can i get the latest tar version ? tar --version, gives me 1.22, if i do apt-get install tar, it says tar is latest version but on the tar homepage i read that tar exist in version 1.26 | 09:01 |
| bazhang | !java | pepi_ please read | 09:01 |
| ubottu | pepi_ please read: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 09:01 |
| bazhang | jnsl_, why would you possibly need the latest tar | 09:01 |
| VictorCL2 | is there anything similar to notepad++ but for ubuntu? | 09:02 |
| pepi_ | okay got it | 09:02 |
| pepi_ | how about the opera? | 09:02 |
| jnsl_ | i have a module on my server that generates a tar file, but i can't read the file afterwards, says "it dosen't look like a tar file", so i wanted to try and update my version of tar on the server | 09:02 |
| wabznasm | VictorCL2: geany, gedit, notepad++ under wine | 09:02 |
| wabznasm | VictorCL2: kate | 09:02 |
| VictorCL2 | yes .. gedit dosnt have syntax highlight | 09:03 |
| wabznasm | VictorCL2: addons can be obtained, but the usual opinion on the net is thatnothing is quite the same as N++ | 09:04 |
| dc5ala | jnsl_, the problem is probably somewhere else but not in your tar version, probably corrupt file? | 09:04 |
| bazhang | pepi_, you got the .deb from opera homepage, right? just double click it to install | 09:04 |
| VictorCL2 | yes I know .. they are like cheap copies :/ | 09:04 |
| wabznasm | VictorCL2: add the usual standards of emacs, vim and gvim | 09:04 |
| wabznasm | VictorCL2: which is why I suggested N+ under wine. Apparently very stable | 09:05 |
| VictorCL2 | yes .. but why do I have to emulate a windows program on linux ... I want to get confortable using linux softare | 09:05 |
| jnsl_ | dc5ala maybe, but there are not much bug info on this, so i figured it might be something with my enviorment | 09:05 |
| VictorCL2 | but I cant even find a decent color picker | 09:05 |
| new2net | yo... my clock froze, what time is it? | 09:06 |
| new2net | oh wait nm... can just type in "date" | 09:06 |
| Charybdis | 0406 am CDT | 09:06 |
| dc5ala | jnsl_, what does "file" say about your tar? maybe it's compressed? | 09:07 |
| jnsl_ | it says data | 09:07 |
| th0r | VictorCL2: have youlooked at nedit? | 09:07 |
| hacking_u | humm... onerick will use gnome3 shell? | 09:08 |

| hacking_u | bazhang, i didn't know about #ubuntu+1 channel, thx very much | 09:10 |

| Tricks | deem, this is the strange part, I've used the nVidia gui to set the monitors but when I look in Xorg I can see twin view in the file | 09:16 |
| Tricks | deem, shall I post the config file? | 09:16 |

| jungleBust3r | Tricks, you could try creating a 10 gb partion by moving your current one with gparted (gui) installing ubuntu again and playing with that version. Not the most elegant way, yet... | 09:22 |
| tsimpson | dddbmt: have a look in /var/log/apache2/error.log | 09:22 |
| dddbmt | tsimpson: Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: | 09:23 |
| dddbmt | ... so it's my permissions for my SVN folder that's wrong? | 09:23 |
| Incarus6 | Tricks, are you sure you saved the nvidia-settings configuration file properly? | 09:23 |

| dddbmt | tsimpson, http://pastebin.com/6JU8Ehdh - doesn't that look ok? | 09:25 |
| Incarus6 | qwebirc26270, can you paste "rfkill list all"? | 09:26 |
| e_t_ | dddbmt: instead of using a symlink, you could make an alias within the Apache config. | 09:26 |
| dddbmt | e_t_, okay - should I just google "Apache alias" ? | 09:26 |
| tsimpson | dddbmt: yeah, that looks ok. try running "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload" and see if it works | 09:26 |
| dddbmt | tsimpson, just restarted seconds ago. | 09:27 |
| dddbmt | e_t_, mod_alias ? | 09:27 |

| rooted-insideme | ok im trying to get eth1 up and working and dhcp running on eth1 but I cannot get it to work | 09:32 |
| rooted-insideme | http://paste.ubuntu.com/643133/ is what my /etc/network/interfaces looks like | 09:32 |
| rooted-insideme | and I setup the dhcp-server conf to listen on eth1 | 09:33 |
| rooted-insideme | any ideas | 09:33 |
| e_t_ | rooted-insideme: don't assign a gateway to eth1. It will screw up your routing big time to have more than one default gateway. | 09:34 |

| xubuntu-noob | nope | 09:41 |
| dli | xubuntu-noob, how do you mount them in /media | 09:41 |
| xubuntu-noob | with fstab, like : //myserver'IP/myshare /media/myshare cifs username=uname,password=passwd 0 0 | 09:42 |
| rooted-insideme | dli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/643142/ is the dhcp server config | 09:42 |
| xubuntu-noob | It didnt work on startup though, I don't know why. So I unmounted and re-mounted with "sudo mount -t cifs etc" and nothing shows neither | 09:43 |

| babu__ | how to do it | 09:45 |
| Incarus6 | Tricks, the nvidia-settings gui needs sudo rights to save the configuration under /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Don't just click on "Apply", click on "Save to X Configuration file" | 09:45 |
| e_t_ | rooted-insideme: At least for ubuntu, the default DHCP server changed to isc-dhcp-server. The conf for that is /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. | 09:45 |

| squaregoldfish | Diverdude: Is it a greyscale image? | 10:13 |

| === Lomex is now known as Lomex_off | ||
| squaregoldfish | Diverdude: I think it might be - it's saying 8-bit image and 256 colours, which implies greyscale. Indexed colour is unlikely in a TIFF, but I could be wrong. I think you'll just have to open it and find out. | 10:14 |
| arfbtwn | Diverdude: from the identify, looks like it's 256 colours == 8 bit | 10:14 |
| Kaoloi | i'm currently burning a CD with ubuntu, hoping that there will be an option when i launch it to format everything else | 10:14 |
| === Lomex_off is now known as Lomex | ||

| squaregoldfish | diverdude: Exactly. With the info we have from identify, I can't tell. | 10:15 |

| Kaoloi | anyone please? | 10:16 |
| Diverdude | squaregoldfish, opening the image also wont tell since the viewer may just apply some colormap...making it impossible to see | 10:16 |
| squaregoldfish | Diverdude: Try identify -verbose | 10:16 |

| === Lomex_off is now known as Lomex | ||
| Diverdude | Diverdude, yeah in the tif file right? | 10:17 |
| Kaoloi | Dr_Willis, will they be an option when i install ubuntu where i can 'reinstall' or 'format and install'? | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaoloi, You cold try a wubi-2-hd tool/script i guess.. if you wqant to try to save some time | 10:17 |
| Tricks | Incarus6, surely it shouldn't be this hard to enable an extended desktop | 10:18 |
| Kaoloi | will it delete my vista and ubuntu partition? | 10:18 |
| Kaoloi | i dont mind losing my data on ubuntu | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaoloi, the insatller can 'use the whole hard drive' ane erase all.. | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaoloi, if you sued wubi - you dont have a ubuntu partition... | 10:18 |
| squaregoldfish | Diverdude: identify -verbose <file>.tiff | 10:18 |
| Kaoloi | ahh.. but it gave me a little 13gb partition for ubuntu and the rest for vista | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl work timw for me | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Kaoloi, you sure you dident MAKE a wubi 'file' not a partition? | 10:19 |
| Dr_Willis | \bye all.. | 10:19 |
| Kaoloi | i'm sorry i'm very new to this. i just launched the installer and followed the instructions | 10:20 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: so as Dr_Willis said, you don't have a full ubuntu partition | 10:20 |
| Diverdude | squaregoldfish, aha that gave a lot of info, look: http://pastebin.com/SBiqJbSQ | 10:20 |
| Kaoloi | arfbtwn, ok, so now if I want to use ubuntu only. I insert my install CD and restart my laptop. follow the instructions and look for an option where i have 'install ubuntu and format the entire drive'? | 10:21 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: bingo ;) | 10:21 |
| Kaoloi | arfbtwn, and this will erase my current data on ubuntu right? | 10:22 |
| Kaoloi | like my email settings and stuff | 10:22 |
| hacking_u | Kaoloi, have you backed up your data you need? | 10:23 |
| squaregoldfish | Diverdude: So it looks like you've got a greyscale image, but it's encoded as RGB with the image data in the Blue channel. Weird. | 10:23 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: The option actually says erase entire disk, so, yes. Do you want to backup your home dir first? | 10:23 |
| Diverdude | squaregoldfish, i think its grayscale | 10:23 |
| Diverdude | yes | 10:23 |
| Diverdude | squaregoldfish, that was my thought also | 10:23 |
| Kaoloi | maybe i should do that haha.. | 10:23 |

| caddoo | probably a retarded question. But i'm using the latest ubuntu, and i find the font / font rendering very odd | 10:24 |
| Diverdude | squaregoldfish, ohh well, i will treat it as a colorimage then :) perfect. thx | 10:24 |
| caddoo | and hard to work with | 10:24 |
| Diverdude | ehmm grayscale i mean | 10:24 |
| caddoo | did anyone else find this | 10:24 |
| Diverdude | hehehe | 10:24 |
| squaregoldfish | diverdude: Hehe. No problem. Might be worth you converting it to proper greyscale to avoid future confusion... | 10:24 |
| Kaoloi | arfbtwn, when i reinstall ubuntu i'll be able to use that back up? I just need the settings and app i've downloaded... | 10:24 |
| Kaoloi | not much data | 10:25 |

| === ruben is now known as Guest52650 | ||
| hacking_u | Kaoloi, yes, u can but if install windows with ubuntu after setting up ubuntu, it can be harder then setting up ubuntu with pre installed windows | 10:32 |
| KolakCC | Pretty sure you can't talk about IDEs anywhere.. | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | i think i'll follow arfbtwn, do a reinstall (a good clean to my laptop). and hopefully i can use that backup file he made me do somehow! so that I dont have to enter my email settings, apps downloaded, etc. | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | ok ill use ubuntu as my base OS | 10:33 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: That command will only backup your settings | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | thats fine then! | 10:33 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: you'll still need to re-install the programs fresh | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | its alright :) | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | thanks! | 10:33 |
| Kaoloi | but how to use that backup file? | 10:34 |
| arfbtwn | netime | 10:34 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: Once you've reinstalled, you unzip with tar -jxvf homebackup.tar.bz2 but execute from /home | 10:35 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: If anything goes wrong, keep a hold of that file ;) | 10:36 |
| hacking_u | Kaoloi, u said ur a begginer linuxer, so i propose u to use gui backup tool | 10:36 |
| Kaoloi | ok thank you so much arfbtwn & hacking_u, ill try to do it. if im lost ill come and see you again! | 10:37 |
| arfbtwn | Kaoloi: hacking_u talks sense! | 10:37 |

| Rouse | two more mis pls | 11:45 |
| Rouse | *mins | 11:45 |
| rooted-insideme | arfbtwn: yeah that link didn't work | 11:45 |
| com64 | yes, go ahead and set all four to ext4, but format the one that's going to be windows to ntfs if you want. anyway, make sure one partition is set to root mount point (that's the one you will install ubuntu on.) | 11:45 |
| rooted-insideme | well I did that and still no internet sharing | 11:46 |
| com64 | one of the ext4 partitions must have root mounpoint, I mean | 11:46 |
| arfbtwn | rooted-insideme: that's the iptables bit, you'll also need to setup dhcp on the sharing port. using e.g. dnsmasq | 11:46 |
| Rouse | sdf | 11:46 |
| arfbtwn | rooted-insideme: I believe that network manager can also do it | 11:47 |
| Rouse | this is the root point right / ? | 11:47 |
| com64 | yes | 11:47 |
| Rouse | for other three partitions whats the root ? | 11:47 |
| Rouse | must give | 11:47 |
| com64 | for the other partitions, you dont need a mount point | 11:47 |
| com64 | however | 11:47 |
| Rouse | hmm okay :) | 11:48 |
| com64 | it may be a good idea to have a swap partition | 11:48 |
| com64 | so maybe make another partition | 11:48 |
| rooted-insideme | arfbtwn: so I have to have dnsmasq installed? | 11:48 |
| Rouse | totally 5 | 11:48 |
| Rouse | ? | 11:48 |
| Rouse | but ly 4 primary is allowed | 11:48 |
| arfbtwn | rooted-insideme: you can also do it through network manager from the ipv4 tab when you edit the connection | 11:48 |
| arfbtwn | rooted-insideme: and you won't need dnsmasq | 11:48 |
| com64 | make the size at least as much as your RAM, and format to swapfs... then the mount point for it would be linux-swap | 11:49 |
| rooted-insideme | arfbtwn: it's a remote box | 11:49 |
| com64 | rouse, can you make a logical partition instead? | 11:49 |
| com64 | instead of primary? | 11:49 |
| introuble | Pici you mean /path/to/filename means path to folder containing files and subfolders? | 11:49 |
| Rouse | yep | 11:49 |
| arfbtwn | rooted-insideme: then dnsmasq is probably the way to | 11:49 |
| rooted-insideme | ok | 11:49 |
| com64 | rouse, so do that I guess... | 11:49 |
| introuble | Pici iam new to linux | 11:49 |
| Pici | introuble: I missed the first question. Can you re-explain what you are trying to do, and I'll provide a command to do what you need to? | 11:49 |
| Rouse | ok | 11:50 |
| Rouse | thanks | 11:50 |
| Rouse | dude | 11:50 |
| com64 | yes? | 11:50 |
| Rouse | have a nice sleep | 11:50 |
| com64 | okay I will ;) | 11:50 |
| introuble | Pici in a folder containing many files. is there a way to change a certain word of every file name (if it contains it) and every code in the file name (if its a .php file for e.g) and replace it with another auto matically? | 11:51 |
| introuble | if in a folder that has subfolders and files. abc232.jpg 00sabc_3.txt and 11.php that contains code that contains *abc* . i want to replace all abc with xyz. | 11:51 |
| Pici | introuble: find /path/to/files/ -type f -iname "*.php" -exec sed -i 's/abc/xyz/g' {} \; | 11:53 |
| introuble | Pici no the files may or may not be .php . they can be any . js .jpg | 11:53 |
| arunkumar413 | hi, i want to add a short cut key to run a python program which i use frequently. how to do it? | 11:53 |
| introuble | Pici so type f -iname "*.php" should be type f -iname "*.*" | 11:54 |
| introuble | ? | 11:54 |
| Pici | introuble: So it sounds like you want two things to happen. 1) Rename all files and switch abc to xyz and 2) change all code within php files so that abc is now xyz ? | 11:55 |
| dury | Great for Linux <3 :) | 11:55 |
| introuble | Pici yes. but i say agian the files may be .php or any other.other | 11:56 |
| Pici | introuble: Theres no telling what might be in binary files, you could end up corrupting a jpg if you told it to arbitrarily replace text within it. | 11:56 |
| melvincv | Hi, now I found my bearings :) | 11:57 |
| introuble | ok.. Pici | 11:59 |
| Pici | introuble: Anyway, the syntax for renaming recursively would be something like: find /path/ -type f -exec rename 's/abc/xyz/' {} \; | 12:00 |
| bazhang | <Pici> introuble: Anyway, the syntax for renaming recursively would be something like: find /path/ -type f -exec rename 's/abc/xyz/' {} \; | 12:01 |

| dspstv | hi all, if i want to load 2 keyboard maps, i do: setxkbmap ch,es and it works perfectly | 12:02 |
| dspstv | how can i have that happening always at boot time? | 12:02 |
| Benkinooby | bazhang, mplayer an play youtube videos? | 12:02 |
| bazhang | Benkinooby, the downloaded flv? yes | 12:02 |

| melvincv | Hi. I still was not able to get smplayer to work :( I tried using xv and x11, but to no avail. I have an old Intel 845GL video card. Any ideas? | 12:03 |
| Pici | Benkinooby: minitube is pretty much a front-end for youtube on the desktop. | 12:03 |
| bazhang | mplayer will play pretty much everything these days Benkinooby | 12:03 |
| com64 | Pici, I thought that minitube was rendered incompatible due to youtube updating their system? | 12:04 |
| melvincv | But SMplayer inbuilt in Ubuntu 11.04 does not seem to play any mp4 videos... | 12:04 |
| bazhang | melvincv, with ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? sure it does | 12:05 |
| melvincv | When I went to their site, they have support only till 10.04 | 12:05 |
| Pici | com64: I haven't used it in a few months, but it worked fine the last time I tried it. | 12:05 |
| com64 | Pici, strange, it wasn't working for me... | 12:05 |
| dspstv | before, one defined keyboard layout on xorg.conf.. but now i dont need that file | 12:05 |
| Benkinooby | bazhang, i want to play the youtube videos directly. totem can browes the video and play thme... but now it cant... i read something about the change of youtube APIs but not sure if this is still up to date | 12:05 |
| dspstv | where can i add my prefered keyboard map? | 12:06 |
| dspstv | thats is not just one map but 2 | 12:06 |
| dspstv | setxkbmap ch,es | 12:06 |
| bazhang | Benkinooby, no idea, sorry, I use the firefox addon download helper to get them and then play via mplayer | 12:06 |
| dspstv | bazhang: use vlc | 12:07 |
| bazhang | dspstv, no need | 12:07 |
| Roey | hi] | 12:07 |

I have this Plantronics USB headphone set that although recognized by the Linux kernel (I can see that through dmesg), and the volume buttons work (they call up this on-screen volume control display), I can't hear anything from them. Pulseaudio... is that the issue here? | 12:08 |
| dspstv | but i have to do that manually after every new boot | 12:08 |
| bazhang | Roey, check alsamixer yet? | 12:09 |
| dspstv | tarzeau: any idea? i have looked via the forums but only old time solutions | 12:09 |
| Roey | bazhang: no go | 12:09 |
| Roey | bazhang: all the volumes there are set to 100%. | 12:09 |
| Roey | bazhang: I try pavucontrol and get 'connection refused'. | 12:09 |
| tarzeau | dspstv: i don't know how to use multiple ones. i just use one, that is configured in xorg.conf | 12:10 |
| dspstv | i might have to create an xorg.conf | 12:10 |
| dspstv | thx | 12:10 |
| melvincv | Any smaller packages that allow me to play mp4? | 12:10 |

| rcconf | xangua: read above | 12:48 |
| Benkinooby | com64, thx... hm, don't know why my minitube is fu**d up... it seems like repeatedly doing the same thing and downloading some stuff | 12:48 |
| com64 | Benkinooby, you try restarting it? | 12:48 |
| dell | releases.ubuntu.com is not working. I started to download using jdownload which creates 2 chunks. Now I can't continue with wget. | 12:49 |
| Benkinooby | com64, yes | 12:49 |
| dell | jdownloader | 12:49 |
| bobbyd | quup: I use htop and turn on tree view to inspect remote machines | 12:49 |
| rcconf | why im downloading sun-java from a slow repository | 12:49 |
| xangua | dell: you can try a torrent | 12:49 |
| usr13 | xgt001: You said that the wifi device worked before you installed linux-backport-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36 for bluetooth? Am I understanding properly? | 12:50 |
| dell | My download is almost complete 97 %. Internet here is slow | 12:50 |
| xgt001 | usr13: yes , | 12:50 |
| xgt001 | usr13: i cant remove that because i am mostly online from bluetooth | 12:50 |
| dell | http://releases.ubuntu.com//natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso does not work | 12:50 |
| usr13 | xgt001: pastebilnit is an application that will automatically paste files or output. See man pastebinit | 12:51 |

| venol | helo, I'm use mailgraph to monitoring mail server, If I send an email it gets counted as sent. It also gets counted as Received". Is this normal? | 12:52 |
| rcconf | dell: http://releases.ubuntu.com/natty/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso works for me | 12:53 |
| mamo | jrib: hmm that doesent seem to be it. This seems to be a bug of some kind. | 12:53 |
| xgt001 | xgt001: is there a way i can install the backport without disturbing the wifi module | 12:53 |
| jrib | mamo: can you pastebin what you see in your terminal? | 12:53 |
| dell | really. May be it is us.releases.ubuntu or something like that. I want without any prefix | 12:53 |
| mamo | this is a fresh install. So the installer installed the grub efi package for me. Now that i reboot into the real os it wants to remove grub efi and install grub-pc | 12:53 |
| mamo | jrib: will do | 12:53 |
| xgt001 | sorry usr13: is there a way i can install the backport without disturbing the wifi module | 12:54 |
| usr13 | xgt001: Well, I don't know for sure what to do in your situation. I will tell you this though. The only time I really trashed a Ubuntu systems was with backports. I have no idea why a bluetooth driver (from backports) would cause your wifi device to quit working, but apparently it does. I don't know of any way to fix it. Sorry. | 12:54 |
| xgt001 | usr13: it was a wireless backport to be precise | 12:55 |
| usr13 | xgt001: Maybe someone else on here can give you some advise. | 12:55 |
| usr13 | xgt001: You enabled backports on the package manager to get it. Right? | 12:55 |
| mamo | jrib: http://pastebin.com/4fX5Dtdu | 12:55 |
| xgt001 | usr13: yes | 12:56 |
| usr13 | xgt001: I can only guess... But it is possible that if you uninstall linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.36 your wifi device may work again. Only a guess, but you could try and see. | 12:57 |
| dell | releases.ubuntu.com Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data | 12:58 |
| xgt001 | usr13: yes it will work but tat will put me in a fix where i have to choose either bluetooth or wifi | 12:58 |
| jrib | mamo: I somehow thought you were using aptitude :P | 12:58 |
| mamo | jrib: i was using apt at first | 12:58 |
| mamo | aptitude gave more interaction | 12:59 |
| janbanan | Can I please try to mail someone with PGP encryption? I need to see if my system works | 12:59 |
| mamo | jrib: they both want to remove the package though | 12:59 |
| shingen | janbanan: create yourself a yahoo or google account to test with | 12:59 |
| jrib | mamo: you're on an intel mac? | 12:59 |
| janbanan | shingen, ok. I get a error in Ecolution, can you try to help me? | 12:59 |
| mamo | yup | 12:59 |
| shingen | my headless server died... removed hdd, trying to boot in vbox but I get nothing. where can I start with troubleshooting boot issues? | 13:00 |
| jrib | mamo: and using grub only (no rEFIt or bootcamp)? | 13:00 |
| mamo | jrib : getting it to tripple boot all my os:es has not been an easy ride :) | 13:00 |
| shingen | janbanan: sorry, I don't use evolution | 13:00 |
| mamo | i use bootcamp for windows | 13:00 |
| mamo | jrib: and refit as well to get all my oses in a nice menu | 13:00 |
| jrib | mamo: I don't think you need grub-efi, let me check my macbook | 13:00 |
| janbanan | shingen, maybe you understand the errors? Can I message you with the errors? | 13:01 |
| xgt001 | usr13: when i try modprobe wl it shows "FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" | 13:01 |
| shingen | janbanan: sorry, I have my own issues which nobody has responded too | 13:01 |
| mamo | jrib: thnx. I actually removed it last time around. It wouldnt boot anymore. not in efi mode at least. I kind of want to boot my mac in efi mode | 13:01 |
| jrib | mamo: though if you tell apt-get to not install recommends you can probably dist-upgrade fine | 13:01 |
| ptl1977 | does anyone know of a good deduplication method or program? | 13:02 |
| soumya | hiiiiiii | 13:02 |
| jrib | mamo: yeah I just have grub-pc on my macbook (probably because of the same annoyance you're currently facing :P) | 13:03 |
| mamo | jrib: i have a 15" with efi i can pick wich gfx card I want. thats why i need it. | 13:03 |
| dell | site seems to be working but the download won't start. I need more 19MB | 13:03 |
| mamo | jrib: thanks alot for your support so far! | 13:03 |
| usr13 | xgt001: You said when you "try modporbe wl it shows fatal Error" What was that all about? | 13:03 |
| xgt001 | usr13: i mean when i did "modprobe wl" it gave me ..." "FATAL: Error inserting wl (/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/updates/dkms/wl.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)"" | 13:04 |
| mamo | xgt001: what does uname tell you? | 13:05 |
| mamo | xgt001: type uname -a | 13:05 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| jrib | mamo: I think your two options are to either run dist-upgrade without recommends or to upgrade the kernel first and explicitly request grub-efi: apt-get install linux-imageWHATEVER grub-efi | 13:05 |

| ichbinder | hello. Is there a history of Ubuntu's Update Manager? Since I used the update manager yesterday, some of my projects using opencv are making trouble... so I wanted to check if it has been updated. | 13:08 |
| mamo | jrib: you are like a god! , did some googling before coming in here. Thanx! | 13:08 |
| Pici | ichbinder: /var/log/dpkg.log includes all packages installed/updated | 13:09 |
| ichbinder | Pici: ah, thanks! | 13:09 |
| jrib | mamo: "apt-get ubuntu grub-efi recommends grub-pc" was the magic incantation | 13:09 |
| mamo | ravidar: it seems its been fixed not sure if that means the package is official. Ill just wait with dist-upgrading for a couple of days to see if i get it | 13:10 |
| xgt001 | johnm: it shows error in number of parameters | 13:10 |
| usr13 | xgt001: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt | 13:10 |
| usr13 | xgt001: Is the instructions you used $^^^^^ | 13:11 |
| johnm | xgt001: man dkms, I don't have it to hand, dkms build -m wl? does it need a version? :) | 13:11 |
| johnm | usr13: it's a dkms orientated module, so almost certainly not:) | 13:11 |
| mamo | jrib: or ill just remove recomends temporarily. Anyway thnx again | 13:11 |
| jrib | mamo: no problem | 13:12 |
| usr13 | xgt001: I saw http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1761812 which lead me to http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt | 13:12 |
| ichbinder | so weird: I had a script that was running a binary for a number of possible argument combinations. The code was using opencv's SVD. During the update, which didn't update opencv itself, the script suddenly gave me a segfault and does so since then... :( | 13:12 |
| ichbinder | and it happens when calling cv::SVD()... maybe something for #opencv | 13:12 |
| edbian | ichbinder: Is the script seg faulting or the binary? | 13:13 |
| ichbinder | edbian: the binary | 13:13 |
| edbian | ichbinder: stl ? | 13:13 |
| ichbinder | edbian: somewhere in cv::SVD | 13:13 |
| xgt001 | johnm: i did dkms build -m wl it shows invalid module | 13:13 |
| edbian | ichbinder: mmm, IDK :) | 13:14 |
| johnm | xgt001: specify a version? check the man page :) | 13:14 |
| johnm | "man dkms" | 13:14 |
| ichbinder | edbian: yeah... pretty stupid. :( | 13:14 |
| johnm | http://linux.dell.com/dkms/manpage.html - looks like you do indeed need a version | 13:14 |

| benedict__ | hi, can some1 with ubuntu 10.04 install minitube and tell me if it works? | 13:22 |
| benedict__ | minitube is in the repos | 13:22 |
| xangua | benedict__: add minitube PPA | 13:22 |
| xangua | https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/minitube | 13:22 |
| benedict__ | xangua, are you using the ppa? | 13:22 |
| dyd | how can i list the folders that a certain server shares in lan? | 13:23 |
| xangua | benedict__: i do not use minitube | 13:23 |
| rooted-insideme | does this look correct for port forwarding with iptables http://paste.ubuntu.com/643240/ | 13:23 |
| onca | anyone familiar with gnome's panel at the top of the screen, it's fonts are too dark and I can't read them | 13:23 |
| rooted-insideme | I do have ipt=/sbin/iptables inside the scrpt at the top | 13:23 |
| dyd | ok done | 13:23 |
| usr13 | dyd: What was your solution? | 13:25 |
| dyd | usr13: places -> network :) | 13:26 |
| dyd | usr13: btw is there a way to see shares by command line? | 13:26 |
| usr13 | dyd: Ok good. I was thinking if it were nfs you'd find them in /etc/exports | 13:26 |
| melvincv | Hi all, I need a good download manager for Natty. | 13:27 |
| usr13 | dyd: cat /etc/exports ? | 13:27 |
| benedict__ | Pici, what ubuntu do you use? and do you use the minitube ppa? | 13:27 |
| xgt001 | melvincv: try commandline wget | 13:27 |
| dyd | usr13: the shares are from another server | 13:27 |
| melvincv | wget supports multiple connections? | 13:28 |
| xgt001 | melvincv: yes | 13:28 |
| usr13 | dyd: less /etc/fstab | 13:28 |
| usr13 | dyd: Just guessing. Don't know how you have them mounted. | 13:28 |
| usr13 | dyd: mount | 13:29 |
| melvincv | Good. Some links copied from the browser end with random characters. The browser resolves and gets the correct link. How may I do this when I use wget? | 13:29 |
| rumba | Lemme guess... build-essential is a meta-package that only installs other packages. Right? | 13:29 |
| usr13 | dyd: Do you see them in the output of mount ? | 13:30 |

| usr13 | rumba: Ubuntu does not come with the tools required to compile from source and build packages from "tarballs". Installing build-essential solves that for you. | 13:34 |
| melvincv | . | 13:34 |
| rumba | But what happens if I install that package? Will the packages from here http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/build-essential be installed? | 13:35 |
| brainwave92 | rumba, if you install that package, you can build all programs when you have the source package | 13:36 |
| melvincv | For example, how do I download this link with wget? It's an mp3. http://link1.songs.pk/song1.php?songid=8520 | 13:36 |
| rumba | melvincv: wget http://link1.songs.pk/song1.php?songid=8520 | 13:36 |
| Pici | rumba: yes, but replace dapper with a release that is actually supported. | 13:36 |
| rumba | Pici: Ok, thanks | 13:37 |
| iceroot | melvincv: wget "url" instead of wget url. "" is trying to resolf the link | 13:37 |
| melvincv | Great! Thanks! I'll try that out. | 13:37 |

| benedict__ | anyone with ubuntu 10.04 know software that plays videos from youtube? minitube and totem could but i think the youtube api is changed so i would have to go for PPAs (don'T want, once killed my system) and vlc could too if i used a PPA. so is there software that does what i want out of the box? | 13:45 |
| Cube`` | i cant get to install them, not even using the gui package manager | 13:46 |
| xangua | benedict__: already updated minitube with the ppa¿ | 13:47 |
| melvincv | Hi, how do I change the no. of connections to the download server in wget? This is essential in a download accelerator, right? | 13:47 |
| usr13 | benedict__: So wht goal is to play youtube videos in some other way rather than via a browser? | 13:48 |
| benedict__ | xangua, no, as i said before, i once messed with PPAs and ended up with a messy system. i'd rather look for alternatives before playing with ppas | 13:49 |
| benedict__ | usr13, yes | 13:49 |
| sipior | melvincv: wget is not a download accelerator. | 13:49 |
| rumba | usr13: thanks | 13:49 |
| KNUBBIG | is it possible to run emerald with unity? | 13:50 |
| benedict__ | usr13, earlier i did it with vlc, but in ubuntu 10.04 it's not at the version vlc needs to play youtube (further on, if you make a youtube playlist in vlc the playlist will be modified by vlc) | 13:50 |
| melvincv | Oh, I see. I need a download accelerator then. | 13:50 |
| usr13 | benedict__: Well, if you just download the flash video files, you can view them how ever you want. Right? Or do you still want to view them in a streaming fashion? | 13:50 |
| xangua | KNUBBIG: i believe no | 13:50 |
| benedict__ | usr13, then i tried totem but never got anywhere and today i was told about minitube, which seems to work flawlessly in ubuntu 11 | 13:50 |
| blinkyb | hi. I can't see the Sound control on the taskbar! i can't adjust sound :/ | 13:51 |
| KNUBBIG | xangua: ok that matches my experience, thanks :D | 13:51 |
| benedict__ | usr13, i want to stream them. the perfect thign would be: open the programm, enter what i search for, see the suggestions of youtube, choose on and play it | 13:51 |
| systemd0wn | benedict__: Lol. Like in firefox? | 13:52 |
| benedict__ | systemd0wn, yes. and it works, at least in minitube and totem | 13:52 |

| hoshi411 | i tried copy paste but it gave me an error | 13:59 |

| hoshi411 | "operation not supported by backend" | 14:00 |
| sipior | mikemol: ah, i see what you mean. | 14:00 |
| mgolisch | wamicho: check your config then whetver the socket it tries to connect to is valid | 14:00 |
| mgolisch | wamicho: id still think mysql is not running or not running anymore | 14:00 |
| mgolisch | wamicho: like does ps aux|grep mysqld return anything? | 14:01 |
| KNUBBIG | wamicho: are you using xampp? | 14:02 |
| mgolisch | does your server listen on unix sockets at all? | 14:02 |
| mgolisch | if not try to sepcify the hosts ip | 14:03 |
| benedict__ | systemd0wn, i think youtube changed it's API and this is why minitube or totem can not correctly access the videos | 14:03 |
| wamicho | mgolisch : it returns this anold 1826 0.0 0.0 3320 800 pts/0 S+ 17:03 0:00 grep --color=auto mysqld | 14:03 |
| KNUBBIG | wamicho: stock mysql or xampp? | 14:03 |
| benedict__ | systemd0wn, seems like in ubuntu 11 the adapted to that change, and in ubuntu 10.04 they did not | 14:03 |
| sipior | mikemol: does your current gdm process have the "-nolisten tcp" switch on? | 14:03 |
| systemd0wn | Ah. And its not maintained i take it | 14:04 |
| KNUBBIG | wamicho: if stock /etc/init.d/mysqld start (I think) | 14:04 |
| benedict__ | usr13, i can not see any hints that dragonplayer plays videos from the youtube web site | 14:04 |
| mgolisch | wamicho: nothing else? this means there is no mysqld running | 14:04 |
| Pici | benedict__: You might be able to find a PPA for minitube for Lucid. | 14:04 |

| hoshi411 | both my computers are able to see the network but I don't know how to share folders/files | 14:05 |
| wamicho | mgolisch : but i did sudo apt-get install mysql-server so what is the problem here | 14:05 |

| KNUBBIG | wamicho: /etc/init.d/mysql | 14:10 |
| benedict__ | Pici, ah ok, it has thx | 14:10 |
| mikemol | sipior: Restarted gdm, X and gdm sessions both still have -nolisten tcp. And, yes, this is 11.04 | 14:10 |
| qin | Thrawn: changing ownership of "eclipse" to root user and root group, recrusivly. | 14:10 |
| wamicho | KNUBBIG: that works | 14:10 |
| Thrawn | oh, thanks | 14:10 |
| sipior | mikemol: does the nolisten switch appear in /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas? | 14:10 |
| cybervolfe | any latest freaking topics? | 14:10 |
| qin | Thrawn: man chown | 14:11 |
| KNUBBIG | wamicho: then try logging into mysql again | 14:11 |
| sipior | mikemol: (this is apparently a change from earlier versions, where it appears in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc) | 14:11 |
| wamicho | so what is the right script mysql or mysqld | 14:11 |

| hoshi411 | this looks promising https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/networking-shares.html | 14:11 |
| mikemol | sipior: the .schemas file looks XML-ish, and nothing with a dash appears. There is a DisallowTCP, but I set that to false. | 14:12 |
| sipior | mikemol: does the nolisten string appear? | 14:12 |
| KNUBBIG | wamicho: you might as well use (I think it's recommended) sudo service mysql start (or restart) | 14:12 |

| skarufue | Thrawn: or F2 | 14:13 |
| wamicho | KNUBBIG: tried all that | 14:13 |
| Thrawn | pici: after i ctrl+o / F2 i get "file name to write: ..." and some options | 14:14 |
| sipior | mikemol: do you have gdm.schemas in both /usr/share/gdm and /etc/gdm? | 14:14 |
| Thrawn | DOS format , mac format , append , ... | 14:14 |
| sipior | mikemol: and are they the same? | 14:14 |
| benedict__ | Pici, installed the ppa... music works, but no vid... but i am on youtube for the music so i maybe look at tit later... thx. sorry for making such a fuzz... once i installed a ppa work one singe thing, but the ppa seemed to update half of my system to unsupported version ... | 14:14 |
| mikemol | sipior: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc looks like it has -nolisten tcp hardcoded, but I can't verify whether or not that's being run atm. | 14:14 |
| rkhshm | and how do i initiate conky | 14:14 |
| * mikemol checks on /usr/share/gdm | 14:15 | |
| rkhshm | from termial i ran conky and it didnt throw up a GUI. | 14:15 |
| rkhshm | nor can i find it from the app search | 14:15 |
| qin | rkhshm: Alt-F2 conky (with eventual options, man conky) | 14:15 |
| KNUBBIG | rkhshm: I only used it with a preconfigured layout ... it has no GUI :) | 14:15 |
| KNUBBIG | rkhshm: you might search www.webupd8.org for conky .. there are some nice layouts | 14:15 |
| qin | rkhshm: What gui, conky gui? | 14:16 |
| rkhshm | qin: yes | 14:16 |
| KNUBBIG | rkhshm: It has no GUI | 14:16 |
| mikemol | sipior: Yes, I have /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas. The only difference between that and /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas appears to be the change I made to DisallowTCP in the /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas file. | 14:16 |
| KNUBBIG | rkhshm: only a display when a layout is given :) | 14:16 |
| rkhshm | KNUBBIG: ah.. ok | 14:16 |
| sipior | mikemol: and if you make that change in the first file, and restart gdm? | 14:16 |
| mikemol | sipior: sec while I try it. | 14:16 |
| rkhshm | but alt+f2 conky does not show anything up either | 14:16 |
| Zzarkc-20 | What's the syntax for outputting the output from a command line into a text file? | 14:17 |
| qin | rkhshm: Not sure there is such think, conky have is configuration file and templates to display stuff you want, edit those, in gedit i.e. | 14:17 |
| cdavis | Anyone else getting this from bitlbee's repo? Failed to fetch http://code.bitlbee.org/debian/devel/natty/amd64/./bitlbee_3.0.3+devel+801-1_amd64.deb Size mismatch | 14:17 |
| KNUBBIG | rkhshm: it won't show anything until you give it a .conkyrc (I think that's right) in your homefolder defining its layout | 14:17 |
| rkhshm | hmm.. | 14:17 |
| rkhshm | ok | 14:17 |

| mikemol | sipior: X server is now correctly listening on TCP. One more thing to try (resetting the /etc version) | 14:18 |
| mikemol | (Just to verify that whatever's in /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas is overriding the /etc version) | 14:18 |

| skarufue | BitWraith: No its more like the powerfull one just sits around reciving no input so is not sending any output either. but eats power. while the weak one does all the work. (can be cahnged in bios luckily). i am not shure about he precise implementation though. | 15:02 |

| mikemol | b0n1: Possibly using something like this: http://freshmeat.net/projects/fuse-zip | 15:29 |
| mikemol | kantxx: They should be enabled by default. They're called 'pty's, and are necessary for things like 'screen' 'xterm' 'konsole' and 'gnome-terminal' to work. | 15:30 |
| pteague_work | hmm... any ideas as to why the cron.daily for logrotate would complain about the postrotate script for '/var/log/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql.log /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log' ? | 15:30 |
| mikemol | kantxx: The only way I know of for them to not be enabled is if your kernel doesn't have support compiled-in. | 15:30 |
| faz_ | lame question time but here goes: what are some things i can do to make my ubuntu11 desktop look kewl as hell :) | 15:31 |
| mikemol | (Which I've never seen, really) | 15:31 |
| fishscene | faz_: for starters, get a background that you love. | 15:31 |
| mikemol | pteague_work: On my debian system, logrotate complains if I don't clear out the old rotated logs; I get emailed snippets of the log files it's deleting. Perhaps you need to do some cleanup? | 15:31 |
| asdjaputra | !ot | faz_ | 15:31 |
| ubottu | faz_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:31 |
| dyd | how can i set graphical settings to the fastest ones? | 15:32 |
| pteague_work | mikemol, well, /var/log/mysql.{err,log,log.1} all have a size of 0 & there's no .gz files... /var/log/mysql/error.log is 31525... & i'm not seeing a mysql-slow.log ... hmm... maybe that's the issue? | 15:33 |
| mikemol | pteague_work: Maybe. Also check permissions for logrotate, for the files it's supposed to be moving around, how many archived copies it's configured to allow, whether or not it's able to control mysqld (if it needs to), and whether or not the disk is getting full-ish. | 15:35 |
| mikemol | More or less random ideas. :) | 15:35 |
| pteague_work | mikemol, thanks for the ideas :) | 15:35 |

| ubun | Some one left a Server out by the dumpster. I picked it up. can i do anything usefull with it? like install ubuntu in it? it looks like it was used for security cameras... | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | llutz, nm , fooling with thepubkeys mau cause some grief , maybe ill just use the pw to stay safe :) | 15:38 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: nope, read my line again :) | 15:39 |
| mikemol | wh1zz0: I'd venture a guess that you need to set up a DHCP server on your 'ad-hoc' network. Otherwise, the other wireless clients won't know which IP their gateway is on. AFAIK, there's no simple, graphical way to do this; you'll likely need to learn how to use a DHCP server like ISC's or dnsmasq. | 15:40 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: you can scp that file wherever you want, just use the same path/filename in both commands | 15:40 |
| mikemol | llutz: Note that using scp, you may overwrite any existing entries in authorized_keys | 15:41 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: ~/pubkey is just a temporary file in this case | 15:41 |
| llutz | mikemol:i know, you also should read what i wrote above. ;) | 15:41 |
| mikemol | Having difficulty finding it. Too much join/part spam in here. :) | 15:41 |
| galamar | Hello, is there anyway I can mount an linux iso on my ubuntu desktop and use the mount iso to install linux on a slave hdd? | 15:42 |
| wh1zz0 | Whew | 15:42 |
| llutz | mikemol: "scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@host:~/pubkey " then ssh into remote host, and "cat ~/pubkey >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && rm ~/pubkey" wont overwrite anything important | 15:42 |
| ikonia | galamar: the only method is bootstrapping but that's not something I'd suggest | 15:42 |
| mikemol | Ah, yeah. That's the reasonable way to do it. | 15:42 |
| ikonia | galamar: just boot from the CD and install to the slave hard disk | 15:42 |
| llutz | mikemol: whyever preferrable ssh-copy-id fails with BluesKaj | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | there's no pubkey file in ~/.ssh there are 2annd pub keyfiles , rsa and dsa | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | oops ignore annd | 15:43 |
| galamar | ikonia, its to big for a cd and I don't have/my computer won't burn dvds. | 15:43 |
| mikemol | BluesKaj: Have you run ssh-keygen on the machine you want to connect from? | 15:43 |
| xxghostxx | within .screenrc i put screen -t windowname 2 cd /home/folder/folder/. when i execute screen it opens up all my other screen windows, but for the one with cd it says cannot exec cd: no such file or directory | 15:43 |
| wh1zz0 | I saw a tutorial here... http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/how-to-share-your-internet-connection-on-ubuntu/ But this one talks about a scenario where the serving computer is connected via wireless | 15:44 |
| ikonia | galamar: download the CD | 15:44 |
| ikonia | galamar: instead of the DVD | 15:44 |
| mikemol | xxghostxx: I'd venture a guess that 'cd' is a shell command, and you're not running a shell. | 15:44 |
| Danny__ | anyone know why upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 would lock up around 44% left to install on a Dell netbook? google isn't forthcoming. | 15:44 |
| xxghostxx | mikemol: doesn't screen execute linux commands upon connect if you've configured them in .screenrc? | 15:44 |
| Eitan | hey guys, anybody ever installed citrix xenapp in ubuntu 64bit os? | 15:45 |
| xxghostxx | because i have screen -t top 0 top and when screen starts it starts top in that window | 15:45 |
| roasted | Is there no way to sync a playlist to clementine right now? | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | mikemol, yes ..justrying to setup pw-less login , that's all ..ssh works fine otherwise | 15:45 |
| mikemol | xxghostxx: Sure, but if 'cd' isn't an actual binary, it needs to be captured by the shell. What you're used to in terms of 'linux commands' is probably a shell command. | 15:45 |
| * mikemol goes back to work | 15:45 | |
| galamar | ikonia, ok but I was trying to avoid that since I have slow internet. | 15:45 |
| ikonia | galamar: it will be easier than bootstrapping, I assure you | 15:45 |
| cl0udy | I can only see 8 of 24 cpu cores in ubuntu 10.04.2, what can be the problem? :( | 15:46 |
| sanzo | Danny, Does the checksum check on the installation on the upgrade? | 15:46 |
| xxghostxx | okay, can someone pick up where mikemol left off? so there is no way to have screen execute a cd command? | 15:47 |
| galamar | ikonia, can I use any kinda VM to install to a real hdd instead of a filesystem image thing? | 15:47 |
| Danny__ | sanzo: I should check that out, probably. I'm going through Update Managed, so I never expected it to be an issue. (Although, this has happened more than once at the same spot, so I'm tempted to rule out file copy error.) | 15:47 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: as user use these commands to copy your keyfile, just change "usr@host" to your setup: "scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@host:~/pubkey " then ssh into remote host, and "cat ~/pubkey >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && rm ~/pubkey" | 15:47 |
| Danny__ | Update Manager* | 15:48 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: or read this to get ssh-copy-id working, http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/ | 15:48 |
| ron34563654 | hi, what is the command that can allows t know the pci wireless card model? | 15:48 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: important part is the "Using ssh-copy-id along with the ssh-add/ssh-agent" in that article | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | llutz, yes user@host is an example , I'm aware :) | 15:48 |
| Dulak | galamar: there is a small net install iso that you can download to get the install started but it will download packages so the install might take longer because of your internet. | 15:49 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: fine, 1st step taken :) | 15:49 |

| BluesKaj | llutz, permission denied cat ~/pubkey >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && rm ~/pubkey , on remote host ..sudo didn't do it either | 15:52 |
| ron34563654 | wabznasm, fishscene let me try | 15:53 |

Now I only have one desktop and when I rebooted this morning up came Unity even though I had classic selected. I had to go back with classic--no effects then uncheck most things in CCSM in order to get back to gnome(classic) with effects. Is compiz borked in 11.04? | 15:55 |
| abrown_ | Updated 11.04 this morning -- now won't boot -- any ideas?? | 15:55 |
| wabznasm | ron34563654: disable login sound? Sorry - no idea on that one | 15:55 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: ~/.ssh should be "700 (drwx------) you you", ~/.ssh/authorized_keys "600 (-rw-------) you you" | 15:55 |

| sipior | cl0udy: or just roll your own kernel. | 15:59 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: so delete the "root keys", create new ones as user, copy them using "ssh-copy-id" | 15:59 |
| cl0udy | sipior: yepp, will do that. Thanks alot | 15:59 |
| sipior | cl0udy: have fun | 15:59 |

| llutz | !runlevel | onca | 16:00 |
| ubottu | onca: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 16:00 |

| galamar | what is the best way to backup all of my installed packages, or would that be pointless since im changing from i686 to 86_64? | 16:05 |
| Dulak | galamar: pointless, every package is a different binary and has to be replaced | 16:05 |
| galamar | Dulak, I would still like to make a list though for easy reference anyway to do that? | 16:05 |
| Tigerboy | ron34563654: I have found very few problems with wireless adapters in Linux... even in the worst case you can use wrappers to make use of the Windows driver. for the past several years they all tend to work out of box. | 16:06 |
| aristidesfl | I've got a .sh at startup which executes: screen -dmS SessionName etc. But when I try to reattach screen says there are no available sessions. Ideas? | 16:06 |
| llutz | !clone | galamar see this, helps to install all the stuff you had before. backup /etc/ and /home | 16:06 |
| ubottu | galamar see this, helps to install all the stuff you had before. backup /etc/ and /home: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 16:06 |

| Dulak | galamar: 'apt-get install < installed_packages.txt' works iirc | 16:12 |
| Tigerboy | ron34563654: click the network icon on the task bar and select one of the ones available... make sure it is set up as auto... sometimes I have found that typing in a fixed IP which must be available on your subnet... the gateway(the same ip used to get your router settings page up) and even typing in the DNS ( you can use googles public dns) can help because sometimes the router's DHCP is not so great. With wireless the problem ca | 16:12 |

| abrown_ | Dulak: This laptop (Dell D820) needed an Nvidia driver -- that's a likely culprit. | 16:14 |
| Dulak | abrown_: mmm, that sounds like hardware, though you updated today, when was the last reboot before that? | 16:14 |
| Tigerboy | ron34563654: for security on your router always use wpa2(personal) with AES encryption--- | 16:14 |
| truflip | anyone know how i can install bcm4315 the right way? cuz i've been following instructions and leading me to dead ends. its unsupported btw, so i think i have to use ndiswrapper | 16:14 |
| abrown_ | Dulak: reboot was fine until the update. | 16:14 |
| Dulak | abrown_: the older kernel should have worked if that was the case, it would be using the old working driver | 16:14 |
| abrown_ | Dulak: How far has it gotten in loading kernel at the red-dot stage? | 16:15 |
| ron34563654 | Tigerboy, i don't understand you well enoght. i don't know how to make the internet work. i just want to visit some sites ;) | 16:15 |
| Dulak | abrown_: the driver for nvidia gets compiled against the current kernel headers, look at what versions of linux-image and linux-headers you have installed | 16:15 |
| Tigerboy | ron34563654: also if it is your notebook make sure you have the wireless turned on(usually a switch on the very front) | 16:16 |

| tomodachi | aristidesfl: well you could always su to that user to run it? | 16:22 |
| Dulak | aristidesfl: securely doing that is a real bitch. You can do a quick hack by setting the script suid (chmod u+s filename) and it will run as root but it opens a big fat hole where the user(s) can do things as root if they try hard enough. | 16:22 |

| tomodachi | dyd: grep ServerAdmin * | 16:23 |
| tomodachi | would search all files for that expression | 16:23 |
| szal | truflip: full sentences please | 16:23 |
| Tigerboy | ron34563654: with that wireless you may want to make sure you have wpa_supplicant installed... use package manager to search | 16:23 |
| Dulak | abrown_: see if it's the same on the older version I guess, but really both kernels doing the same thing will point to hardware usually | 16:24 |
| ron34563654 | Tigerboy, do you have other clues for what might make the internet not to work? | 16:24 |
| aristidesfl | Dulak: so what rumpe1 suggested is not unsafe? | 16:24 |
| dyd | tomodachi: doesn't work, but grep ServerAdmin -r / seems to work! | 16:24 |

| disinpho | Phr3d13: sudo: grub: command not found | 18:32 |
| dli | mainrain, by direct LAN connection? | 18:32 |

| mainrain | dli: it works for plain audio, like mp3's or sounds from my IM client. The audio from the youtube videos also plays well, but the video itself stops updating and only the audio is playing | 18:34 |
| mainrain | dli: as soon as a swithc pulseaudio back to playing on localhost, the video part starts updating again | 18:35 |
| dli | mainrain, so, it's a player issue, I remember flash plugin had trouble with pulse | 18:35 |
| mainrain | its like the youtube player cant figure out the sync or something | 18:35 |
| dli | mainrain, for youtube, maybe, you can try another player, like lightspark or gnash, if any of them work, you know it's the plugin | 18:36 |

| ortsvorsteher | so you have all pid's from the user you want zkriesse | 18:49 |
| Jordan_U | fud: And you were using Ubuntu 11.04? The error you are seeing is normally due to a version mismatch so this information is important. | 18:49 |

| zimm3r | What is the theme on ubuntu 10.10 because even with ubuntu classic on 11.04 the panels are different | 18:50 |
| citizenD3SK | odinsbane: it do have it the option to rotate but the gnome monitor pref is showing only one unknow monitor | 18:50 |

| psyk0 | LmtdAD: No, but if it's an old version, don't worry, you just have to "apt-get -u upgrade" | 18:50 |
| odinsbane | citizenD3SK: does the gnome configure tool work for you? I know you can set the rotation of a monitor with xrandr, and I think that you can do that the gnome tool. | 18:50 |

| galamar | Hello again, does it make sense to assume that a 64bit processor will run a 64bit OS better than it would run an i686 OS? | 18:52 |
| Lmat | psyk0, I did upgrade, but it says "0 upgraded, 0 ... and 0 not upgraded." | 18:52 |
| fud | Jordan_U: you want to know which version I currently have installed in my pc? 8.10 | 18:52 |
| sudokill | fud, a usb one? | 18:52 |
| fud | yep, usb stick | 18:52 |
| sudokill | galamar, yes | 18:52 |
| psyk0 | teste just apt-get install eclipse (that will be good for me) | 18:52 |
| fud | Jordan_U: however I made the usb with windows | 18:52 |
| galamar | ok thought so. | 18:52 |
| sudokill | galamar, no sorry i read wrong, 64 bit can be faster though | 18:52 |
| Jordan_U | fud: If you refuse to answer simple questions directly, "Are you trying to put Ubuntu 11.04 on the USB, yes or no?" then we cannot help you. | 18:53 |
| fud | if I was refusing to answer questions I would be gone by now | 18:53 |
| Lmat | psyk0, huh? I apt-get install eclipse, but it gave me an old version. | 18:53 |
| sudokill | fud, can you not just put it on a cd or dvd | 18:53 |
| fud | if you answer questions right you get right answer | 18:53 |
| saliak | zkriesse : so that works. what about getting it to run on startup? i tried rcconf but it still doesn't start when i boot up | 18:53 |
| psyk0 | LmtdAD: ok so apt-get -u upgrade | 18:53 |
| fud | I don't have | 18:53 |
| Bio-Nic | actually, I have to reboot this whole box real quickl. | 18:54 |
| sudokill | k | 18:54 |
| Bio-Nic | brb | 18:54 |
| zkriesse | saliak: You're talking a BASH file then | 18:54 |
| krishna_ | fud, by using what software did u put that in usb | 18:54 |
| fud | krishna_: the one that says in http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 18:54 |
| fud | it's called universal usb installer I think | 18:54 |
| Phr3d13 | trying to get a vt6410 pci ide card working on ubuntu 11.04 | 18:54 |
| galamar | sudokill, thats where my issue is. It just seems like my current install is slower than installs ran in the past. All i can think of is 64-vs-i686 problems. | 18:54 |
| sudokill | fud, no idea why it wont work, does it put it on the usb srick but ownt boot? | 18:54 |
| krishna_ | try using unetbootin | 18:54 |
| psyk0 | (LmtdAT: I move but i'll come back after, so If apt-get -u upgrade don't help you i will speak with you about this after, sorry but i have to go. | 18:55 |
| zkriesse | saliak: You'd need a BASH script and toss it in the boot file that way it'll run at bootup | 18:55 |
| Lmat | psyk0, I did that, and it didn't update anything. (it would be helpful if you would type 'lmat' before sending me a message). | 18:55 |
| sudokill | galamar, for general use you wont notice a difference really | 18:55 |
| zkriesse | saliak: couple minutes and I'll help ya with that one | 18:55 |
| Lmat | psyk0, See you later! | 18:55 |
| sudokill | galamar, it probably was somehting else | 18:55 |
| fud | sudokill: it says could not find kernel image gfxboot | 18:55 |
| sudokill | galamar, but if you have 4gb or more ram then use 64 bit | 18:55 |
| krishna_ | fud: try using unetbootin | 18:55 |
| sudokill | or use 64 bit anyway | 18:55 |
| psyk0 | lmat: see you later :) | 18:55 |
| fud | are you guys officialy related to ubuntu? | 18:55 |
| sudokill | fud, i was gona say try unetbootin but they do the same thing and both should work fine | 18:55 |
| Lmat | fud, Obviously. | 18:55 |
| fud | this is something very simple | 18:56 |
| sudokill | why cant you do it then? | 18:56 |
| sudokill | :p | 18:56 |
| fud | it's not like I'm trying a 20 year old sound card or anything | 18:56 |
| saliak | zkriesse: i'm not really sure, honestly. the program is a compiled executable. i modified skeleton to make my init.d script. (it starts with !/bin/sh, is that bash? or just sh?) thanks for the help | 18:56 |
| sudokill | fud, try it again with unetbootin see if it works | 18:56 |
| === telnet is now known as dcosta | ||
| sudokill | fud, it really should be as easy as putting the iso on and booting | 18:56 |
| fud | what's that? | 18:56 |

| sudokill | fud, google unetbootin its pretty much the same as the program you're currently using | 18:57 |

| Phr3d13 | trying to get a vt6410 pci ide card working on ubuntu 11.04 | 18:57 |
| glebihan | Lmat, the version of Eclipse in the Ubuntu repos is not the latest, if you want the latest, you'll have to download and install it manually | 18:57 |
| Lmat | glebihan, Thanks. | 18:57 |
| sudokill | fud, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ download that and try it | 18:57 |
| Lmat | glebihan, I'm working on it now, but that seems slow. How do I uninstall the old one? | 18:58 |
| fud | I'm gonna do that | 18:58 |
| Jordan_U | fud: Are you trying to put Ubuntu 11.04 on the USB? Please answer with one of "Yes", "No", or "I don't know, how do I find out?". | 18:58 |
| fud | Jordan_U: yes | 18:58 |
| fud | this Jordan_U guy is so funny | 18:58 |
| glebihan | Lmat, just run "sudo apt-get remove eclipse" | 19:00 |
| Lmat | glebihan, Thank yous. | 19:00 |
| Lmat | glebihan, That didn't work. | 19:00 |
| fud | do you guys have experience with sabayon linux? | 19:00 |
| Lmat | I ran it and it did a lot, but I can still execute eclipse. | 19:00 |
| Phr3d13 | trying to get a vt6410 pci ide card working on ubuntu 11.04 | 19:00 |
| fud | since I'm gonna install once more I was thinking about trying a different distro | 19:00 |
| Jordan_U | fud: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 19:00 |
| glebihan | Lmat, do you get any error message when running "sudo apt-get remove eclipse" ? | 19:01 |
| Lmat | glebihan, Hard to say...brb | 19:01 |
| fud | Jordan_U: yes, ubuntu 11.04 in a personal computer | 19:01 |
| sudokill | fud, just stick with ubuntu if you're new you'll only confuse yourself with the different package managers etc | 19:02 |
| Lmat | glebihan, I don't think so. But it says, "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" and lists a sleu of packages. | 19:02 |
| Lmat | glebihan, Oh, it suggests apt-get autoremove | 19:02 |
| Lmat | glebihan, Should I do that? | 19:02 |
| glebihan | Lmat, you can run "sudo apt-get autoremove" | 19:02 |
| glebihan | Lmat, ^^ | 19:02 |
| Lmat | :) | 19:02 |
| zimm3r | Is Ubuntu Classic the fall back GNOME interface in 11.04? | 19:03 |
| Lmat | glebihan, How does it know what needs to be removed and what doesn't? Is there reference counting with the packages that are installed? | 19:03 |
| Lmat | eek, it's removing linux-headers-2.6.38-8! | 19:03 |
| sudokill | zimm3r, yes | 19:03 |
| glebihan | Lmat, it removes packages for which there are no dependencies anymore | 19:03 |
| fud | sudokill: not new, used ubuntu, debian, centos, red hat, slackware, etc | 19:03 |
| sudokill | fud, ok. not found one you like then? | 19:04 |
| fud | sudokill: been using ubuntu since 5.04 | 19:04 |
| dli | Lmat, you may try deborphan as well, in addition to 'apt-get autoremove' | 19:04 |
| Lmat | oh, goodie "eclipse: command not found" | 19:04 |
| Jordan_U | fud: Please file a bug report against Ubuntu and Universal USB installer about this error. | 19:04 |
| fud | that's why I was so surprised with something so basic as creating a usb not working | 19:04 |
| Lmat | dli, It says deborphan isn't installed. What does it do? | 19:04 |
| sudokill | fud, it might be a bad download image sounes maybe like it is | 19:04 |
| Jordan_U | fud: For most users it does work, what is the md5sum of the iso you downloaded? | 19:05 |
| dli | Lmat, sudo apt-get install deborphan | 19:05 |
| Lmat | dli, Sure, but why would I do that? | 19:05 |
| fud | then it must be my problem | 19:05 |
| dli | Lmat, deborphan can find orphaned packages leftover by 'autoremove' | 19:06 |
| sudokill | fud, check the md5 yes | 19:06 |
| glebihan | !deborphan > Lmat | 19:06 |

| DexterF | can I upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 instead of 11.04? | 19:06 |
| sudokill | DexterF, i dont think so actually | 19:06 |
| Lmat | gotcha. Thanks, glebihan, dli . | 19:06 |
| Jordan_U | DexterF: 11.04 is not an LTS so you would have to upgrade to 10.10 before upgrading to 11.04. Why don't you want 11.04? | 19:07 |
| ortsvorsteher | zkriesse, did you solve your problem to kill the user session? | 19:07 |
| sudokill | 11.04 is bad | 19:07 |
| DexterF | Jordan_U: base for trinity. not ready for 11.04 yet. | 19:07 |
| fud | with unetbin | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | DexterF: Note that 10.04 will be supported much longer than 10.10 will be. | 19:08 |
| fud | do I choose live or netinstall | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | fud: Live. | 19:08 |
| sudokill | fud, choose the iso | 19:08 |
| DexterF | Jordan_U: i know | 19:08 |
| Jordan_U | fud: Before you continue please tell us the md5sum of the iso you downloaded. | 19:09 |
| fud | ah ok the iso | 19:09 |
| fud | I think it's gonna be the same | 19:09 |
| sudokill | fud, if you dont know how, go into terminal and do md5sum ubuntu file | 19:09 |
| sudokill | it probably is the same | 19:09 |
| sudokill | quite unlikely to be bad | 19:10 |
| sudokill | but still ahppens | 19:10 |
| fud | I downloaded in ubuntu | 19:10 |
| fud | now I'm in windows | 19:10 |
| fud | could it be the transference between ext3 and ntfs | 19:10 |
| fud | ? | 19:10 |
| sudokill | ok just try unetbootin | 19:10 |
| sudokill | no | 19:10 |
| Jordan_U | fud: Do you know how to get the md5sum of a file? | 19:10 |
| sudokill | in windows youd have to download some md5 tool | 19:10 |
| fud | yeah but I am not in the mood | 19:10 |
| sudokill | just try it with unetbootin if it fails then check the md5 | 19:11 |
| fud | I'll try this and then maybe md5 | 19:11 |

| rich__ | i used to be able to do that with lilo no problem, but after upgrade to 10.04 it seems to be more difficult. | 19:18 |

| martiniano | any idea of what could be causing this flickering? I'm not able to capture it on video | 19:18 |
| Lmat | Jordan_U, I hope to enter the directory and compile a Cpp program there. | 19:18 |
| Jordan_U | Lmat: Because they don't know better. | 19:18 |
| glebihan | Lmat, use "sudo -s" or "sudo -i" and then type your command | 19:18 |
| Lmat | Jordan_U, I also would like to know what to do in general when I have this problem. | 19:18 |
| zkriesse | ortsvorsteher: Well actually it's not for me personally lol, it's for a question on the ubuntu stack exchange | 19:18 |

| Jordan_U | Lmat: It's generally not recommended to compile things as root. I would personally chown the directory or cp the contents somwhere you can access them as a normal user. | 19:19 |
| Lmat | glebihan, I tab-completed! | 19:19 |
| Lmat | Jordan_U, um...Well, that sounds like a great idea. | 19:19 |

| sudokill | both are fine for 800mb ram | 19:30 |
| Kaoloi | hi all | 19:30 |
| Lmat | Kaoloi, hi | 19:30 |
| martiniano | Snarsh: what kind of problems? | 19:31 |
| Kaoloi | Lmat, hello :) ive just installed ubuntu (im totally new) do you know how to install adobe flash player ? | 19:31 |
| sudokill | i think its in sofware centre | 19:31 |
| Lmat | Kaoloi, nope. I wouldn't recommend it. But I just started using ubuntu. | 19:32 |
| Kaoloi | i'd like to view videos on youtube at least! | 19:32 |
| Kaoloi | so i need some sort of flash | 19:32 |
| Kaoloi | what to do? | 19:32 |
| zykotick9 | !flash | Kaoloi | 19:32 |
| ubottu | Kaoloi: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 19:32 |
| sudokill | either install it or use minitube if its just for youutube | 19:32 |
| SolitonWave | :( | 19:32 |
| Kaoloi | thanks! | 19:32 |
| Kaoloi | !flash | 19:33 |
| Kaoloi | what o.o | 19:33 |
| Jordan_U | Kaoloi: http://youtube.com/html5 is another option (though flash is not difficult to install). | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | Kaoloi, your best bet is install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:33 |
| sudokill | htlm5 works for not much in youtube | 19:33 |
| SolitonWave | I can't install programs until I fix apt-get or something | 19:33 |
| Kaoloi | omg thanks so much guys | 19:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | Kaoloi, you know how to open a terminal? or software center in ubuntu? | 19:33 |
| zykotick9 | Kaoloi, BluesKaj suggestion is probably the best | 19:33 |
| Kaoloi | yes ortsvorsteher | 19:33 |
| Gio1523 | ciao ragazzi | 19:34 |
| BluesKaj | !ubuntu-restricted-extras | Kaolo | 19:34 |
| ubottu | Kaolo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:34 |
| saruji | hi guys, quick question, i just downloaded conky, it was a tar.bz2 extention, i've extrated it, but now how do i install it? | 19:34 |
| Jordan_U | Kaoloi: That "!flash" was a command to our faithfull channel bot ubottu to give you a pre-written message about flash. | 19:34 |
| SolitonWave | Opening a terminal in Ubuntu is easy | 19:34 |
| Kaoloi | ok then i'll follow BluesKaj | 19:34 |
| Zdisiu55 | you a Kaoloi message about flash | 19:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | Kaoloi, in terminal you can try "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 19:34 |
| martiniano | !flash | 19:34 |
| sudokill | saruji, can yuou not sudo apt get install conky | 19:34 |
| Zdisiu55 | flash | 19:34 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, rather then installing from source "sudo apt-get install conky" | 19:34 |
| Snarsh | martiniano: directly after the kernel update and restart, startx told me there was a mismatch between the kernel version and the drivers version, i uninstalled nvidia and then installed nvidia-current to ttry to correct for the problem, i restarted, nvidia-xconfig, startx fails with the xorg.conf because it says the nvidia module in the file doesn't exist | 19:34 |
| Zdisiu55 | http : //youtube | 19:34 |
| saruji | sudokill, zykotick9 i just want to know how to compile | 19:34 |
| sudokill | why | 19:35 |
| Kaoloi | ok i'll give a try | 19:35 |
| sudokill | whats the point | 19:35 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, not the best idea, but knock-yourself-out. | 19:35 |
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | saruji | 19:35 |
| ubottu | saruji: 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! | 19:35 |
| sudokill | saruji, normally its ./configure, make, sudo make install | 19:35 |
| Lmat | How do I delete a directory, all his subdirectories and all their contents? | 19:35 |
| Zdisiu55 | http : //youtube | 19:35 |
| Zdisiu55 | sudokill install conky | 19:35 |
| sudokill | Zdisiu55, ? | 19:35 |
| martiniano | Snarsh: sorry, no idea what's wrong, I have another problem and thought maybe you had the same | 19:35 |
| llutz | Lmat: rm -r /path/to/dir/ if you are really sure, no way to get it back | 19:36 |
| ortsvorsteher | Lmat, just do that if you are really sure that all of its contents you don't need anymore. | 19:36 |
| Zdisiu55 | llutz : right, that's the best answer | 19:36 |
| Snarsh | martiniano: what's your problem exactly? | 19:36 |
| saruji | sudokill, so first run ./configure then do make and then sudo make install? | 19:36 |
| sudokill | yes | 19:36 |
| === IamNotBG is now known as I | ||
| zykotick9 | saruji, if you use checkinstall you can clean up the potential mess afterwards, if you don't removing can be very difficult. | 19:36 |
| Zdisiu55 | rather then installing from source sudo saruji install conky | 19:36 |
| Lmat | thanks, llutz ortsvorsteher | 19:36 |
| BluesKaj | Kaoloi, open a package manager and look for ubuntu-restricted-extras, or open a terminal and do, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:36 |
| sudokill | or like someone said use checkinstall to be able to uninstall it easy | 19:36 |
| === I is now known as z | ||
| SolitonWave | rm -r ./directory | 19:36 |
| Zdisiu55 | i want, and netbeans has the other half | 19:36 |
| saruji | Zdisiu55, lol alright | 19:37 |
| saruji | zykotick9, thank you | 19:37 |
| Zdisiu55 | follow Lmat, Lmat i just downloaded conky, it was a command to our faithfull channel bot | 19:37 |
| === z is now known as u | ||
| Kaoloi | ok BluesKaj! doing it right now :) ubuntu is wonderful | 19:37 |
| === u is now known as _i | ||
| trism | Snarsh: you could try to reinstall the linux-headers package, which will trigger rebuilding nvidia-current and see if it fails: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r); and if it doesn't: sudo modprobe nvidia-current; then try startx again | 19:37 |
| === _i is now known as _s | ||
| Lmat | Zdisiu55, huh? Why are you following me? what does conky have to do with me? | 19:37 |
| Zdisiu55 | recommend it is my fault for being spoiled rotten by visual studio | 19:37 |
| SolitonWave | Oh, llutz answered lmat's question | 19:37 |
| sudokill | Zdisiu55, what are you talking about? | 19:37 |
| Lmat | Zdisiu55, I like being spoiled rotten :) | 19:37 |
| martiniano | Snarsh: have a nasty case of flickering screen. It seems to happen every 6 seconds or so. Also, when I lower the brightness of the screen to the minimum, it gets worse. | 19:37 |
| Zdisiu55 | won't ? or software center in ubuntu is easy | 19:38 |
| BluesKaj | !apt | Kaoloi | 19:38 |
| ubottu | Kaoloi: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 19:38 |
| Snarsh | trism: do i type that command exactly as it shows? with $(uname -r) or are they less than greater than signs? | 19:38 |
| trism | Snarsh: yes, the $(uname -r) will be expanded to the version of your current kernel | 19:38 |
| sudokill | Snarsh, that does your current kernel | 19:38 |
| saruji | where does conky install to by default? | 19:38 |
| sudokill | so it dont get it wrong | 19:38 |
| Zdisiu55 | builds of trism for sid at http : //paste | 19:38 |
| Zdisiu55 | sudokill, so first run | 19:38 |
| sudokill | Zdisiu55, i have no idea what you're talking about, lol | 19:39 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, will depend you your are using Ubuntu's DEB or the .tar.gz | 19:39 |
| Snarsh | martiniano: have you tried connecting to a different monitor? that almost sounds like it could be a problem with the hardware, did you change any software recently? | 19:39 |
| zykotick9 | s/you/if/ | 19:39 |
| saruji | zykotick9, DEB | 19:39 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, double click on the DEB in nautilus and I think it will show you | 19:39 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, why do you need to know where it installs to? | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, "which conky" will show the path if it's installed | 19:40 |
| saruji | zykotick9, i used sudo apt-get install conky but i cannot find how to execute it | 19:40 |
| sudokill | saruji type conky | 19:40 |
| martiniano | Snarsh: actually, I have a second monitor connected and it doesn't flicker... the thing is that I booted windows and it doesn't happen. I think it is related to some updates I did but really don't know. | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, alt+f2 conky | 19:40 |
| sudokill | and it will start with some ugly default | 19:40 |
| Zdisiu55 | what does conky install to by default ? | 19:40 |
| Zdisiu55 | related to some updates i did but really don't exist | 19:41 |
| saruji | sudokill zykotick9 sweet, now how do i get it to auto start? | 19:41 |
| JWFoxJr | I was wondering if there is a way the updates are installed on ubuntu server - I want to change it to automatically install security updates. | 19:41 |
| Diverdude | Hello, I have a .pem file which i got fro amazon cloud services. This is a private key which I would like to use for ssh connection. I am not to sure how to use this file. Any hints? | 19:41 |
| sudokill | saruji, add conky to autostrt apps | 19:41 |
| sudokill | i think you need sleep | 19:41 |
| Zdisiu55 | Diverdude, which together with dpkg forms the basic ubuntu package management toolkit | 19:41 |
| sudokill | for it to work properly | 19:41 |
| sudokill | like 2 or 3 seconds | 19:41 |
| zykotick9 | saruji, "Startup Applications" should be in your preference menu | 19:41 |
| saruji | sudokill, zykotick9 thank you | 19:42 |
| Diverdude | Zdisiu55, ? | 19:42 |
| Zdisiu55 | what do you want ? | 19:42 |
| === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG | ||
| Diverdude | Zdisiu55, i want to use it to log in over ssh | 19:42 |
| sudokill | Zdisiu55, you're not making any sense at all | 19:42 |
| tertl3 | how do install a .deb? | 19:43 |
| sudokill | double click it | 19:43 |
| Zdisiu55 | like it could be a consequence, not | 19:43 |
| sudokill | it should open in software cente i think | 19:43 |
| KNUBBIG | Hey, I'm getting the error 'mount.nfs: access denied by server' when trying to mount a nfs folder on my NAS when inside a virtualbox vm, from a normal os, it works. Any help? | 19:43 |
| zykotick9 | tertl3, from cli "sudo dpkg -i foo.deb" | 19:43 |
| KNUBBIG | tertl3: sudo dpkg -i debname.deb | 19:43 |
| Diverdude | any1? | 19:43 |
| Snarsh | martiniano: possibly the screen has the incorrect frequency setting in the xorg.conf file? i haven't had that problem before, just throwing it out there. someone else might know better (i can't even google right now, running in terminal) | 19:44 |
| rich__ | tertl3 dkpg -i packagename.deb | 19:44 |

| kjdkdkkk | hi i want to password protect an html doc webpage i saved to desktop on gnome any ideas on a simple way of doing this or at least hiding or even encrypting it thanks | 19:44 |
| kjdkdkkk | there arent any options in properties tab | 19:45 |
| KNUBBIG | I'm getting the error 'mount.nfs: access denied by server' when trying to mount a nfs folder on my NAS when inside a virtualbox vm, from a normal os, it works. Any help? | 19:45 |
| Dr_Willis | + | 19:45 |
| sudokill | kjdkdkkk, you could use truecrypt with a container | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | kjdkdkkk, to hide it, just put a period as the first character - so .foo.html will be a hidden file | 19:45 |
| sudokill | idk about other encyption things | 19:45 |
| Zdisiu55 | it or use minsudokillbe if its just for youutube | 19:45 |
| sudokill | Zdisiu55, are you drunk ? | 19:46 |
| kjdkdkkk | ok thanks | 19:46 |
| martiniano | Snarsh: yeah, it's really strange. It's a laptop screen by the way. I can't think of anything, and don't want to reinstall ubuntu.. hope to find some help | 19:46 |
| sudokill | lol | 19:46 |
| Dr_Willis | KNUBBIG, nsf server may be set to only allow access from a the same network range as its on. Vbox can set up its own private network. check the ip#'s | 19:46 |
| KNUBBIG | Dr_Willis: uh well okay, thanks. I will have to look if I have any options to configure on my NAS | 19:47 |
| zykotick9 | KNUBBIG, is VBox using NAT? do you have a 10.x.x.x address? | 19:47 |
| KNUBBIG | zykotick9: yes | 19:47 |
| Dr_Willis | KNUBBIG, you can set vbox to appear on the local lan as if it was a real physical machine. | 19:47 |
| Zdisiu55 | local is not executed at all | 19:47 |
| === barbara is now known as Guest37793 | ||
| AlexDevilLX | Whats better for ubuntu Intel Core i5 or Intel Cor i7 | 19:47 |
| zykotick9 | KNUBBIG, then NFS probably would need to be configured to allow that address range. Or use VBox's setting as Dr_Willis suggested. | 19:48 |
| Zdisiu55 | vbox's really strange | 19:48 |
| Dr_Willis | AlexDevilLX, depends on your needs and budget. | 19:48 |
| DeRoSvOs | Hey gang. Let's say I'm SSHing in to a server and when I hit pipe, it prints a *, forward slash prints a dash -... not sure how to fix that. | 19:48 |
| KNUBBIG | Dr_Willis: zykotick9: you, I'll look into it :) | 19:48 |
| Dr_Willis | AlexDevilLX, some i5's are a better value then an i7 at some price ranges. | 19:48 |
| DeRoSvOs | qwerty is ok, but the alt characters are messed up. | 19:48 |
| AlexDevilLX | except ubuntu will also program in visual studio | 19:48 |
| KNUBBIG | thank you* | 19:48 |
| saliak | I have a script i created in init.d, let's call it foo. when i run /etc/init.d/foo start, the daemon starts and runs. I ran update-rc.d foo defaults and it looked likeit worked. however, when i boot up the machine, the daemon doesn't start. any ideas? | 19:48 |
| Rebas | Hey guys, i downloaded flash, and it gave me a .so file, where do i put that to get flash in opera? | 19:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Rebas, use the package manager tools to install flash properly. | 19:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !flash | 19:49 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 19:49 |
| Zdisiu55 | page at least ! | 19:49 |
| usr13 | Rebas: In Opera's plugins directory I suppose. | 19:49 |
| zykotick9 | saliak, FYI using rc.local is probably a lot easier then what you are trying. Best of luck. | 19:49 |
| Rebas | DR_Willis, i used the software center, and it installed, but after a restart, it still says i need fleash, so i downloaded it manually from adobe | 19:50 |
| Rebas | hence the .so file | 19:50 |
| Dr_Willis | saliak, you may want to use a Upstart type script, in /etc/init/ and not use the sysv method. | 19:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Rebas, does flash work in other browsers? | 19:50 |
| KNUBBIG | Mh the allowed IP Addresses on my NFS-Server are * that's interesting | 19:51 |
| usr13 | Rebas: cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ | 19:51 |
| usr13 | Rebas: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ | 19:51 |
| zykotick9 | KNUBBIG, check your /etc/exports file | 19:51 |
| Snarsh | what is the key command to kill the X11 server currently running? | 19:51 |
| Rebas | thanks usr13, ill try that | 19:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Snarsh, one way ' sudo service gdm stop' | 19:51 |
| zykotick9 | Snarsh, alt+printscreen+k | 19:51 |
| KNUBBIG | zykotick9: "/share/MD0_DATA/fabian" *(ro,async,no_root_squash) | 19:52 |
| KNUBBIG | "/share/NFS/fabian" *(ro,nohide,async,no_root_squash) | 19:52 |
| Dr_Willis | its alt-sysreq-k here. :) but thats the same as the printscreen key on most keyboards. | 19:52 |
| zykotick9 | KNUBBIG, don't know then | 19:52 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: We're about to find out.... ;) | 19:52 |

| Newbie87 | Sorry, quick question...any possible "omg my computer is dead" if I pkill SSWAP? | 19:59 |
| Newbie87 | or is it safe? | 19:59 |
| saliak | ChogyDan : i've got an embedded system (well, a headless system with an LCD interface) that i want to have act like an appliance. the script launches my daemon that makes it do it's thing (control buttons, write stuff to LCD, etc.) | 19:59 |
| zykotick9 | Newbie87, "swapoff /device" is probably better | 19:59 |
| ChogyDan | K350: shift o maybe | 19:59 |
| Newbie87 | My swap is already off, in order to run sswap | 19:59 |
| Newbie87 | zykotick9, @ | 20:00 |
| usr13 | Newbie87: Not the recommended thing to do, but no, it wont kill your system. | 20:00 |
| lucas49 | how i install pyqt4 for python 3? | 20:00 |
| Derpadong | Gr to ubuntu switching to unity lol | 20:00 |
| zykotick9 | Newbie87, sorry i though SSWAP was a typo - i have no idea what sswap is. Best of luck. | 20:00 |
| K350 | ChogyDan: Ah..I mean in % | 20:00 |
| ChogyDan | saliak: have you tried using upstart? | 20:01 |
| Rebas | got flash installed, i just typoed, thanks usr13 | 20:01 |
| saliak | nope, lemme google for that | 20:01 |
| saliak | chogydan: nope, lemme google for that | 20:01 |
| ChogyDan | !upstart | saliak | 20:01 |
| ubottu | saliak: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 20:01 |

| DeRoSvOs | I don't even know where to start with this problem. LOL! Man. | 20:02 |
| usr13 | Newbie87: I think you must have been asking about swapon & swapoff Right? | 20:02 |
| Snarsh | zykotick9: were you intentionally trying to get me to kill ALL processes on ubuntu when you told me to do that? | 20:02 |
| saliak | chogydan - looks pretty promising. will try it | 20:03 |
| ChogyDan | saliak: there is an example somewhere that I used, something like: start on started tty1 \n exec "your script" | 20:03 |
| zykotick9 | Snarsh, i don't see where i messaged you? so what? | 20:04 |
| Snarsh | alt + printscreen + k | 20:04 |
| zykotick9 | Snarsh, that restarts Xorg | 20:04 |
| Pici | zykotick9: if you're in X at the time. | 20:05 |
| zykotick9 | Pici, what does it do from a VT? | 20:05 |
| Pici | zykotick9: Likely, it will attempt to kill that vtty. | 20:06 |
| * zykotick9 goes to test | 20:06 | |
| Pici | zykotick9: Or the login shell running. I've never tested it myself. | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | Pici, just brought me back to another login, so yes i guess it does "kill" it. | 20:07 |
| Pici | zykotick9: Its one of the magic sysreq commands, it just happens to work for restartin xorg. | 20:07 |
| Snarsh | yeah i forgot which sysreq command did what, froze my comp when i used it. it might be N that kills all processes though | 20:09 |
| Pici | Snarsh: I thought that was 'I' | 20:10 |
| Snarsh | probably, can't remember them, why i hate using them at all heh | 20:10 |
| Dr_Willis | 'magic sysreq key is magic' :) | 20:12 |
| DeRoSvOs | Is it a "keymap" issue when pressing down the PIPE | key retuns an asterisk *? | 20:13 |
| Dr_Willis | DeRoSvOs, i would think so. | 20:13 |
| Dr_Willis | DeRoSvOs, does it do it in the console also? | 20:13 |
| jrib | DeRoSvOs: that would be my first guess as well... | 20:13 |
| Snarsh | i ended up being able to repair the problem with nvidia drivers and the new kernel, i just deleted xorg.conf and used startx and made a new one from there | 20:13 |
| DeRoSvOs | Dr_Willis: This is exactly where it's doing it. So I tried issuing a: loadkeys la-latin1.map | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | DeRoSvOs, Shift+\ | 20:14 |
| DeRoSvOs | zykotick9: I know how to print a pipe. | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Snarsh, weird. My xorg.conf for my nvidia system just disables the nvidia splash screen. :) | 20:14 |
| DeRoSvOs | Dr_Willis: Do you know how to check the current keymap? | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DeRoSvOs, nope. perhaps the loadkeys cmd has an option | 20:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive rarely had to mess with keymaps.. | 20:15 |
| zykotick9 | DeRoSvOs, sorry i didn't put together that that was the regular key for pipe - sorry. | 20:15 |
| DeRoSvOs | zykotick9: All good. :) | 20:15 |
| zykotick9 | DeRoSvOs, http://www.genmaint.com/how-to-make-a-pipe-in-putty-ssh.html i looked at it too fast, no answer on that page BTW | 20:16 |
| Pici | Keymaps shouldn't matter if you're in puTTY | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | putty has its own keymap/encoding options i thought.. | 20:16 |
| === guntbert_ is now known as guntbert | ||
| Pici | DeRoSvOs: Is this in putty? or have we gotten confused? | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | or is encoding (utf-8) and stuff totally differnt? :) ive rarely had to mess with it. | 20:16 |
| Pici | Dr_Willis: It has some limited keymap stuff, but yes, encoding is different. | 20:17 |
| BigDaddyDuergar | Why doesn't ubuntu dvd burner software recognize when I put in a DVD-R? | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | I do recall screen in putty. e Being quirky for me in the past. | 20:18 |
| Dr_Willis | BigDaddyDuergar, ive noticed in a few cases ive had to insert the disk.. then start the burning app. | 20:18 |
| DeRoSvOs | Pici: It's actually in a vSphere (VMware) console on an Ubuntu VM. I just fixed it now, by doing: loadkeys us.map | 20:18 |

| jgordon_ | iceroot: sorry, i don't understand the question? ssh/rsync work from command line, not from cron. | 21:28 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: What have you got inside /tmp/test.txt file ? | 21:28 |
| Escherial | Jordan_U: because the current one has a bug where there's a "dead zone" under my primary monitor due to the fact that my secondary monitor is higher | 21:28 |
| Escherial | er, longer? | 21:28 |
| iceroot | jgordon_: i thought you are running something like * * * * * user ssh user@host;id | 21:28 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: uid=503(maa) gid=503(maa) groups=503(maa) | 21:28 |
| Escherial | the height is greater, in any case. X creates a bounding box to represent the displayable area, leading to the aforementioned dead zone into which your mouse and tooltips will spill | 21:29 |
| cli04 | hi, hot to replace \ to empty on sed command please? | 21:29 |
| cli04 | how* | 21:29 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: that fails as well | 21:29 |
| mi6ail1234 | Greetings...I want to ask you how can i update my Java version? | 21:29 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: Is that user that has to connect to the other machine ? | 21:29 |
| saruji | i told shotwell phot manager to "always perform this action" when i plugged in my camera and now it does it nonstop, anyways to shut this off? | 21:29 |
| Escherial | suppoesdly it's fixed in the newest version of X (at least according to that thread about the bug) | 21:29 |
| iceroot | jgordon_: can you post exactly what commands you are using? | 21:29 |
| obert | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD 32Bit Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" Minimal CD | 21:29 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: yes. | 21:29 |
| obert | for instance? | 21:29 |
| Escherial | Jordan_U: enough information? :) | 21:29 |
| jnsl_ | sudo apt-get install gedit, where is the executable saved ? | 21:30 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: apparently it works if -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no" as an ssh option | 21:30 |
| cli04 | hi guys, how to replace \ to empty on sed command please? | 21:30 |
| glebihan | jnsl_, /usr/bin/gedit | 21:30 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: i'm working with someone else and he just said he discovered that | 21:30 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: trying now... | 21:30 |
| jnsl_ | thanks glebihan :9 | 21:30 |
| jnsl_ | :) | 21:30 |
| doritos | I'm running a vt220 emulator on an amiga connected to my PC's serial port. It works fine except it only uses 80x24 when the screen is much bigger. I've decompiled the vt220 terminfo file and edited it, but I can't get tic to compile it again. Someone please stop me from going bald? | 21:30 |
| glebihan | jnsl_, you're welcome | 21:30 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: Can I take a look at the pastebin of the crontab? That's very strange that it does work in cli and not in crontab. | 21:31 |
| MACscr | adrian15 and guntbert: so what is the list of groups my user should be part of? | 21:31 |
| mi6ail1234 | Anyone? | 21:31 |
| adrian15 | MACscr: Usually for sudo capabilites you need the admin group. | 21:32 |
| Gnitset | cli04: sed -e 's_\\__' | 21:32 |
| obert | anyway it was good times when ubuntu 6, i received it via mail | 21:32 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| MACscr | adrian15: but someone mentioned gdm as well. So i figured there might be a few | 21:32 |
| mi6ail1234 | How can i update my Java version? | 21:33 |
| adrian15 | MACscr: I don't have an ubuntu system at hand to give you the default groups. Anyways... | 21:34 |
| === ServerSurfer is now known as Guest76722 | ||
| iceroot | mi6ail1234: update with security-updates or a major-update? | 21:34 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: iceroot: okay, so turning StrictHostKeyChecking off seems to have worked | 21:34 |
| adrian15 | MACscr: Unless you have opened as root the user utility you won't be able to recover admin group and thus do anything like root... till you boot from a live cd, chroot as a root, and add your user to the usual groups. | 21:34 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: adrian15: by why? | 21:35 |
| MACscr | adrian15: right, but i cant add myself to those groups until i know what they are =P | 21:35 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: If you had already accepted the destination as a trusted one the cron should not complain. I do not understand it either. | 21:36 |
| glebihan | MACscr, could you pastebin your /etc/sudoers file ? | 21:36 |
| adrian15 | MACscr: Sorry I don't have an Ubuntu system at hand. | 21:36 |
| MACscr | glebihan: nope, i dont have access to it yet | 21:36 |
| mi6ail1234 | iceroot, There is no security updates right now...but in official Java website it has a new version | 21:37 |
| iceroot | mi6ail1234: you will never get a newer version withing a ubuntu-release, just security-updates | 21:37 |
| iceroot | mi6ail1234: why do you need a newer version? | 21:37 |
| Monotoko | is there anything wrong with booting into an old kernel...security wise? My wifi seems to randomly drop on the newest version | 21:37 |
| cli04 | Gnitset: i dont undestand this | 21:38 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| glebihan | MACscr, ok... by checking mine, I would say that either the "sudo" or the "admin" group should be enough | 21:38 |
| cli04 | Gnitset: the syntax not is sed s/old/new/g old.txt < new.txt | 21:38 |
| MACscr | glebihan: or? do you have both? | 21:38 |
| mi6ail1234 | because it makes sometimes problems...with internet java applications....and they say that is safer and recommend to update | 21:39 |
| iceroot | !backports | mi6ail1234 | 21:39 |
| ubottu | mi6ail1234: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 21:39 |
| iceroot | mi6ail1234: that is imo the best way to get newer versions | 21:39 |
| glebihan | MACscr, I do have both, the difference being that the "sudo" group allows to execute commands as root, whereas the "admin" group allows to gain root privileges | 21:39 |
| antlong | hello, how do you sort ls like this: 1, 2,3,100,200, 210,300 (instead of 1, 100, 2, 200, 210, 3, 300) | 21:40 |
| mi6ail1234 | Is there some way to update via "apt-get" command? | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | antlong: What is your end goal? | 21:40 |
| antlong | 1,2,3,100... | 21:40 |
| glebihan | mi6ail1234, what do you want to update ? | 21:40 |
| mi6ail1234 | glebihan, Java | 21:41 |
| Monotoko | mi6ail1234, put the ubuntu backports sources into /etc/apt/sources.lst and then you can | 21:41 |
| Monotoko | mi6ail1234, is there any particular reason you want to update...like an application going wrong? | 21:42 |
| mi6ail1234 | Thank you...i will do | 21:42 |
| mi6ail1234 | yes that's the reason | 21:42 |
| mi6ail1234 | but not always happen | 21:42 |
| Jordan_U | antlong: "1,2,3,100" is not an end goal. I assume you are actually trying to accomplish something useful. What is it? | 21:43 |
| mi6ail1234 | and from "Oracle" says that in newer version is fixed some serious bugs | 21:43 |
| antlong | Jordan_U i want to ssh to a remote box | 21:43 |
| Jordan_U | antlong: What does that have to do with ls or sorting numbers? | 21:44 |
| antlong | obviously i want to sort a folders contents by numerical order when i ls | 21:44 |
| glebihan | antlong, "ls -v" should do the trick | 21:44 |
| antlong | glebihan ty :) | 21:45 |
| Jordan_U | antlong: Is this part of a script or do you really just want to view the output? | 21:45 |
| glebihan | antlong, you're welcome | 21:45 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: adrian15: so the server i'm ssh'ing is listening on port 222 | 21:45 |
| rcmaehl | Hey in sound properties what is a 2.1 sound system listed as? | 21:45 |
| iceroot | jgordon_: ssh -p 222 user@host | 21:45 |

| Gh0Sty11k | how can i install google chrome on ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| jgordon_ | iceroot: right, that's what i've been doing | 21:46 |
| maco | antlong: ls | sort -g | 21:46 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: Well, yes, a public messaging. We are both hightlighted I suppose. | 21:46 |
| antlong | ls -v works | 21:46 |
| antlong | ty though maco | 21:46 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: iceroot: but when i turned off stricthostkeychecking, i noticed that it seems i have two entries in known_hosts. one with the port, one without. i believe the one without the port was created via cron once i turned off stricthostkeychecking. | 21:47 |
| rcmaehl | Hey in sound properties, hardware tab, under settings for the selected device, what is a 2.1 sound system listed as? | 21:47 |
| mikubuntu | going crazy with this printer (hp deskjet f4480) ... can't get it to PRINT!!! heres the error log on PASTEBIN :: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/643548/ could anyone help me decipher please! | 21:47 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: If you want to avoid the strict hosting switch you might try to run it as a root and then use su - c to try to do the same thing. But I do not know if it is worth. | 21:48 |
| alex_____ | Gh0Sty11k: just go to www.google.com/chrome | 21:48 |
| Gh0Sty11k | i downloaded it but it does not do anything when i run the package# | 21:48 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: Ah, yes,.. Once the strickhostkeychecking is removed the exception persists at the known_host file. | 21:48 |
| glebihan | Gh0Sty11k, what do you mean by "run the package" ? | 21:49 |
| jnsl_ | can i somehow add a terminal to startup programs :D | 21:49 |
| antlong | mikubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=9ff724ce3f346b8604bf2a39cfa385ff&p=4860984&postcount=2 | 21:49 |
| Gh0Sty11k | the file google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb downloads to my download directory but will not run when i double click to install it | 21:49 |
| glebihan | Gh0Sty11k, you should install the version from the repositories, the package name is "chromium-browser" | 21:49 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: I suppose that you will get the same effect if you connected to the ip directly to it. Maybe your CLI tests were not geared towards 222 port ? | 21:50 |
| Gh0Sty11k | i noticed it wasnt quite the same so wanted google chrome | 21:50 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: cli tests definitely had -p 222 | 21:50 |
| Gh0Sty11k | why wont it install? | 21:50 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: won't work on port 22 | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | Gh0Sty11k: What does happen when you double click the file? | 21:50 |
| Gh0Sty11k | a little spinner thing appears and goes off | 21:50 |
| Gh0Sty11k | then nothing happens | 21:51 |
| alex_____ | what is the difference between google chrome and the chromium browser? | 21:51 |
| glebihan | Gh0Sty11k, ok then run "sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb" from the folder where the file is located | 21:51 |
| mikubuntu | antlong, thx ... checking it out | 21:51 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: And when you were in the CLI did you say that you accepted the exception when it prompted to you or did you always answered no ? | 21:51 |
| mikubuntu | antlong, do you have to log in to view ubuntuforums pages now?? won't let me view that pagelink ... | 21:53 |
| glebihan | alex_____, http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ChromiumBrowserVsGoogleChrome | 21:55 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: when i ran from command line, i had no problems | 21:55 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: The first time it should have asked if you trusted in destination! | 21:55 |
| Gh0Sty11k | says errors were encountered during processing | 21:55 |
| rcmaehl | -_- no one here has a 2.1 or better sound system. wow | 21:55 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: sorry, yes. it asks and i confirm. i see "exception" and i think error | 21:56 |
| glebihan | Gh0Sty2k, could you pastebin the error message ? | 21:56 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: But, well, if it was not going to work, just adding the nostrictcecking option when running from cron was the way to go | 21:56 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: And just after that removing it | 21:56 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: Maybe the problem was that you reinstalled os on destination ? | 21:57 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: i suppose so. i guess i'm confused why running from cron doesn't include the port information in the known_hosts entry but running from cli does. that seems to be the crux of the problem. | 21:58 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: But now... it does work... isn't it ? | 21:59 |
| ralnaemi | Can I set up a RAID using mdadm after an installation? | 21:59 |
| adrian15 | jgordon_: I mean you the known_hosts is updated it should work from cron without the nostricthostchecking option. | 21:59 |
| ralnaemi | installation = installation of the OS | 21:59 |
| antlong | mikubuntu probably | 22:00 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: yes, i agree. it would be nice to not have to worry about this port issue in the future with different cron setups. | 22:00 |

| adrian15 | jgordon_: You can buy a certificate for your destination server :) | 22:01 |
| jgordon_ | adrian15: b/c if known_hosts gets blown away or horked in the future, i'm screwed again. unless i always have it ignore strict | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | Jambesboo: Ubuntu comes with a torrent client by default called "Transmision". | 22:01 |
| Jambesboo | oh nice | 22:02 |
| Jambesboo | so i can just download torrents from kickasstorrents? | 22:02 |

| Jordan_U | FriGiN: ? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: delete the virtualbox in the virtualbox app. If you don't need the drive image you can use the drive amanger and delete it from there | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: this will destroy the data so be very sure this is what you want | 22:22 |
| billy2007 | will it delete them if i remove the whole program | 22:22 |
| FriGiN | Jordan_U: the stuff we did the other night ended up being able to see the grub, however there was nothing on the drive like i thought. os i killed the drive and all of that and im back to 100% windows, if you are still game i'll bring laptop in here and we can step/step it to see if we can get ubu workin. | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: no, the settings folder is in your home folder and will stay. You can delete ~/Virtualbox VMs and ~/.Virtualbox and it will remove ALL the virtualboxes and ALL the settings | 22:23 |

| rewt | saruji, add it to /etc/fstab | 22:40 |
| glebihan | saruji, you'll have to add it to fstab | 22:40 |
| saruji | rewt, glebihan is there an easier way? | 22:40 |
| saruji | rewt, glebihan maybe using a gui? | 22:40 |
| usr13 | saruji: Create a mount point and put an entry in /etc/fstab for it | 22:40 |

| RedNifre | hi! | 22:54 |
| RedNifre | Is it possible to set the audio output to mono instead of stereo? | 22:54 |
| RedNifre | (just temporarily) | 22:54 |
| RedNifre | Or is there a video player that can play the audio of a video file in mono? | 22:55 |
| usr13 | RedNifre: Usually, that's done by the media player. Or it's done at recrod time. | 22:55 |
| RedNifre | Which media player can do this? | 22:56 |
| WalrusEgg | usr13: does this mean that i have about 2.5MB of bad sectors? | 22:56 |
| usr13 | RedNifre: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/MPlayer.html#advaudio-channels-mono | 22:57 |
| Snarsh | can't vlc do the same? | 22:57 |
| RedNifre | I can't find the setting in VLC :/ | 22:57 |
| billy2007 | RedNifre, i beleive mplayer can do that | 22:57 |

| billy2007 | i was downloading a torrent through vuze i accidentally closed it now it wont open any ideas | 23:02 |
| glisstech | I have a question - I am a bit of an Ubuntu noob | 23:02 |
| chelz | glisstech: go ahead and ask :) | 23:02 |
| glisstech | so I let update manager install updates last night and rebooted | 23:02 |
| chelz | billy2007: vuze won't open or the torrent won't open? | 23:02 |
| glisstech | and now the gui interactions on my natty install are all weird | 23:02 |
| billy2007 | chelz, vuze | 23:02 |
| chelz | billy2007: try opening up a terminal and running vuze from there to see if you get any helpful error messages | 23:03 |
| glisstech | how can I find the list of updates, or even just uninstall the entire latest round of updates? | 23:03 |
| billy2007 | chelz, what command would i use | 23:03 |
| chelz | billy2007: (without the quote) either "azureus" or "vuze" | 23:03 |
| iceroot | glisstech: you cant uninstall the latest updates (only when removing the whole package) | 23:03 |
| odinsbane | glisstech: did you check to see if all the updates were successfully installed? | 23:04 |
| iceroot | glisstech: there should be /var/log/dpkg.log which will show you the last updates which where installed | 23:04 |
| billy2007 | it says its already running is there a way to close it from terminal | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | glisstech: try: sudo apt-get -f install | 23:04 |
| glisstech | thx iceroot | 23:04 |
| usr13 | glisstech: ls -ltr /var/lib/dpkg/info/ #Newest will be listed last. Notice the dates. | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: kill the service in terminal then | 23:04 |
| chelz | billy2007: pkill azureus | 23:05 |
| odinsbane | billy2007: yes, you can kill processes from the terminal | 23:05 |
| chelz | billy2007: also pkill -9 azureus | 23:05 |
| usr13 | glisstech: As ActionParsnip points out sudo apt-get -f install may solve this problem for you. | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | billy2007, start without using the -9, only use that if regular kill doesn't work. | 23:06 |
| chelz | billy2007: sounds like azureus crashed but kept running. in the future you can kill from the terminal, or log out and log back in, or reboot | 23:06 |
| chelz | billy2007: seconding what zykotick9 said | 23:06 |
| billy2007 | i think thats my best option thanks | 23:06 |
| billy2007 | whats the command to restart shell | 23:07 |

| usr13 | Ctrl-Alt-F6 and then sudo service gdm restart | 23:08 |

| usr13 | kashyapGada: Connect to it how? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: you can ping the windows pc, ping uses tcp so is a connection | 23:13 |
| kashyapGada | how? | 23:13 |
| odinsbane | mikubuntu: do you even need cups in that instance? I thought cups is for sharing a printer over a network? | 23:13 |

| filo1234 | look what happens | 23:35 |

| tyler_d | just got a new travelmate, has an nvidia, so I ran nvidia-xconfig and upon restart it froze the machine... I have removed the xorg.conf completely, could someone help please. | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: if you run it as I gave it, it will use your username | 23:38 |
| filo1234 | Reg_: maybe after you can install graphics driver, maybe by Driver HArdware...but remember to delete or to rename xorg.conf | 23:39 |
| Reg_ | I'll give it a try | 23:39 |
| kashyapGada | username of linux or windows | 23:39 |
| filo1234 | Reg_: good luck | 23:39 |
| filo1234 | :p | 23:39 |
| kashyapGada | gotit | 23:39 |
| kashyapGada | THANK YOU | 23:39 |
| kashyapGada | thank you aaction | 23:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: it will be the one you use in Linux. If you are being challenged for credentials when you access the windows system then it is obviously your windows account as you are authenticating on a windows PC | 23:41 |
| notsureaboutthis | hi, i was reading about installing software, and heard that i should be cautious about installing .debs. How can i tell if a .deb is safe or not? | 23:41 |
| kashyapGada | its working | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: still too much of a headache, took you less than 5 mins... | 23:42 |
| notsureaboutthis | in particular, i want to install this game engine, it has a .deb, but it's not available in my package manager: http://www.panda3d.org/ | 23:42 |
| kashyapGada | intelligent ppl like u make it work | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | notsureaboutthis: you can install deb files by double clicking them | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: its common sense when you look at it | 23:43 |
| notsureaboutthis | thanks, though i want to know if it's safe or not? | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: thanks for the compliment too :) | 23:43 |
| tyler_d | could someone please tell me why my laptop(travelmate) won't boot after doing an nvidia-reconfig http://paste.ubuntu.com/643609/ | 23:43 |
| kashyapGada | are u a developer? | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | notsureaboutthis: its an unofficial deb so safe is anyones guess | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | kashyapGada: no, only a regular and ubuntu member | 23:43 |
| kashyapGada | tooo good | 23:44 |
| notsureaboutthis | ActionParsnip: so there's no way to confirm if it's safe or not? it looks legitimate, maybe i'm just being paranoid? | 23:45 |
| * Benkinooby sees ActionParsnip a lot here... reading ActionParsnip writes often as some kind of learning effect | 23:45 | |
| Benkinooby | reading what Act... | 23:45 |
| kashyapGada | IM getting very less speed | 23:45 |
| kashyapGada | any other way to get hi speed transfer using ethernet | 23:46 |
| andrewS | is there a way to install ubuntu on top of an exiting screwed up ubuntu without booting to an ISO? i upgraded 11.04 and it broke almost everything. can't revert. no cd/dvd drive. hpmini (originally installed thru usb) | 23:46 |
| kashyapGada | between two pc | 23:46 |
| kashyapGada | one ubuntu n linux | 23:46 |
| kashyapGada | n windows | 23:46 |
| Reg_ | filo1234: I began an attempt to reinstall before I came on, and now the install has froze. This has happened at least twice before. Is there options I should be selecting for my install? | 23:46 |
| Benkinooby | kashyapGada, netcat but that is commandline magic ;) what do you want to do? | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | notsureaboutthis: it's 3rd party so not really. 99% of the time stuff is fine. I'd go for it personally. Its your call though | 23:47 |
| kashyapGada | i want to transfer lot of data frp, ubuntu to my my new windows pc | 23:47 |
| Benkinooby | Reg_, i once encountered freezes during my installs... checking the BIOS for your hard drive settings is a good guess and won'T ahrm anything | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Benkinooby: its learning for me too. I have few issues so I kinda learn the OS by helping others :) | 23:47 |
| Reg_ | Benkinooby: what should I be looking for? | 23:48 |
| notsureaboutthis | ActionParsnip: okay, i guess i'll take my chances haha. would there be any symptoms or something i would notice after installation if it's not safe? thanks | 23:49 |
| Benkinooby | Reg_, hm, that depends from BIOS to BIOS but in general, hard disks run in different modes, like DMA mode or PIO mode. so see if you can set modes for your hard disk | 23:49 |
| Benkinooby | Reg_, in case to does not help just set it mack again | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | notsureaboutthis: not sure, slowness I guess and weird behavious. You know how your system feels, it will feel different | 23:50 |
| Benkinooby | Reg_, you know how to enter the BIOS? | 23:50 |
| Reg_ | yep | 23:50 |
| Apocryphic | Alright, I'm guessing it was a bad mirror. | 23:51 |
| Benkinooby | notsureaboutthis, i usually see if the deb offers the sources and then if some eople wrote about that deb,... like test reviews or so | 23:51 |
| D-coy | ping m4v | 23:51 |
| `blackmk4 | is there a decent general networking chan on freenode | 23:52 |
| manoel | olá! | 23:52 |
| Benkinooby | Reg_, in case the install is still troubleing you, just try a debian install and see if it works better... jsut to see if it something with ubunut or your hard disk | 23:52 |
| djbpython | hey all, i was having sound issues on 10.04 so i reinstalled alsa, but now it wont boot into ubuntu | 23:53 |
| manoel | Something about Linux? | 23:53 |
| djbpython | I can boot into xp (I somehow have it dual booted) | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | `blackmk4: ##networking | 23:53 |
| Reg_ | I'll give debian a shot | 23:53 |
| hdevalence | j #eigen | 23:53 |
| djbpython | any way to recover from that? | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 23:54 |
| manoel | I have no sound in Xubuntu. Who can help me? | 23:54 |
| notsureaboutthis | Benkinooby: well i googled a bit, found a thread on ubuntuforums with a few people talking about it, and another thread on its forum, talking about installing it on ubuntu, but nothing real specific. it says it's open source, but i'm not sure what you mean by the deb offering the sources? | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: run: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | manoel: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 23:54 |
| djbpython | ActionParsnip: I can't boot into ubuntu, so i cant run those commands | 23:55 |
| Eitan | so this is an interesting issue that i have... my company just had me set up a few comps for customer service reps.... they wanted to save money on the licences. so i said lets use ubuntu... everything works great except..... 1 website... this 1 website only works on IE.. even on a windows machine | 23:55 |
| Eitan | only works on I.E | 23:55 |
| manoel | The output is a simple headphone. | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: then you will need to boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2 | 23:55 |
| Eitan | what in the world can i do to get this to work | 23:55 |
| djbpython | ActionParsnip: i dont believe its a grub issue, i can get passed grub | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | manoel: if you run the command, upload to the server it will make a red URL. What is it | 23:56 |
| Benkinooby | notsureaboutthis, if you write a program, you write source code, shortened as source. this code is easy to read and others can see, if the code is well writen and does not have any backdoors or other evil stuff. later you compile the source code, to run it on your computer. | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: does the system boot to a black screen? | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | Eitan: WHat website? Have you tried changing the user agent string? How exactly does it fail? | 23:56 |
| Benkinooby | open source = source code available | 23:56 |
| djbpython | ActionParsnip: after i make my grub selection it is black, but the back light is on | 23:56 |
| Eitan | jordan: does not fail... its a https... secure site for one of our partners... fraims are messed up - doesnt look right | 23:56 |
| djbpython | Starting up ... | 23:57 |
| Eitan | fucntions properly, but you miss most of the text in the drop down boxes and such | 23:57 |
| Eitan | same thing happens in alllll other browsers on a widnows machine... so by no mean is it ubuntuy | 23:57 |
| Eitan | just need to find a solution for ubuntu - | 23:57 |
| Eitan | i tried Wine and Ie, but that is a messy messy thing | 23:57 |
| manoel | Thanks for the help. I will see. | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | djbpython | 23:57 |
| ubottu | djbpython: 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 | 23:57 |
| djbpython | whoa! it just booted | 23:57 |
| djbpython | after like 15 tries | 23:57 |
| djbpython | Credit goes to ActionParsnip | 23:58 |
| w30 | Eitan, there is a wine install with IE6 in it floating aroundm on the net somewhere for downloading on Ubuntu but I can't tell you where. Google for it. | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | djbpython: freaky | 23:58 |
| Eitan | ie4linux with wine... yeah | 23:58 |
| w30 | Eitan, you get wine and IE6 in one fell swoop. | 23:58 |
| Eitan | is that the best way u think? | 23:58 |
| djbpython | ok, so my sound setup is still broken | 23:58 |
| Eitan | yeah i already did that | 23:58 |
| Eitan | lol | 23:58 |
| djbpython | Your audio capture settings are invalid | 23:59 |
| notsureaboutthis | Benkinooby: it also lets me download the source code instead of a .deb, would doing that be any better? sorry, i'm not quite sure what you're getting at | 23:59 |
| qazplm | hi | 23:59 |
| Eitan | i stopped persuing it, wondering if there wasnt another solution... if that is the only solution then that is what i shall use | 23:59 |
| djbpython | then it points me to System->Preferences->"Sound Preferences" | 23:59 |
| qazplm | If I want to encrypt my hard drive with truecrypt and dual boot, should I install ububtu then encrypt, or vice versa? | 23:59 |
