| bazhang | GeekMan122, please stop with all the commentary | 00:00 |
| Skaperen | Dr_Willis: I simply did a straight install to the target device ... which can be a flash drive or hard drive, sata, sas, scsi, ide, usb, firewire, etc | 00:00 |
| GeekMan122 | aww | 00:00 |
| bazhang | xN_, I could not read it, too spread out | 00:00 |
| brightspark | usr13, GeekMan122, no mine worked and sometime does but it isn,t reliable. let me check hibernate and my swap is 2 GB | 00:01 |
| Skaperen | Dr_Willis: which is why I'm looking at syslinux because grub2 has problems with it | 00:01 |

| Electron | Does anyone use Minitube in here? | 00:02 |
| GeekMan122 | what kinda computer if its like a mac or somthing i have guide for ibookg4's took me forever to fix the kinks | 00:02 |

| brightspark_ | usr13, GeekMan122, hibernate didn't work | 00:05 |
| computeronfire | Hi, can anyone help me with reading my lm-sensors output? | 00:05 |
| Electron | bazhang, So does anyone use minitube was part of the real question | 00:05 |
| GeekMan122 | ... mabybe it was hibernate that fails on me althe time gtg though | 00:05 |
| qin | Electron: then use iotop or inotify to monitor it, maybe /tmp ? | 00:05 |
| bazhang | Electron, certainly, but better to ask the entire question, unless you want to poll the entire channel for who uses it | 00:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | Okay...I just went through the entire upgrading process, and I still seem to be (according to lsb_release -a) in Karmic...why is this, and what does it take for me to get to a not-EOL version of ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| brightspark_ | usr13, GeekMan122, as with sleep the screen went black but the computer continued to run and heat up very much very fast. | 00:06 |
| Electron | bazhang, Well apparently no one does anyway. | 00:06 |

| bazhang | Electron, you are trying to save youtube videos, is that correct? | 00:07 |
| brightspark_ | usr13, so I had to reboot to protect my equipment and sleep started working again but I don't feel like the problem is properly resolved. | 00:07 |

| noip | Is there any way to speed up updates in Ubuntu? I'm getting < 15 kB/s | 00:08 |
| === lemons_ is now known as lemons | ||
| bazhang | Electron, I certainly dont use it, but rather download them and convert them as I watch with the firefox addon. seems more convoluted with minitube | 00:09 |
| bazhang | noip, switch servers in synaptic package manager, try that first | 00:09 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: use apt-fast :) | 00:10 |
| computeronfire | noip: Stop the update or wait till it completes, then open synaptic and go to Settings>REpositories>Download From | 00:10 |
| computeronfire | Apt-fast of course | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: pulls downloads a tonne faster | 00:10 |

| computeronfire | Anyone know what this alarm means in my sensors output? http://pastebin.com/iWrvXtNS | 00:11 |

| JoAnneThrax | the lsb_release -a gives these results: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 Codename: karmic | 00:14 |
| JoAnneThrax | This confuses me, because I upgraded this AM from jaunty, changed the sources to the EOL sources for karmic, and upgraded again...and it spent an hour or two churning through all that. | 00:15 |
| CaptWho | any special reason that you can't download the iso for 10.10? | 00:16 |
| al_nz1 | eagleserver: sudo fdisk /mbr /dev/sdb? | 00:16 |
| mecheese | hi. my problem is that my x.org file does not exist and my monitor is saying "signal out of range". on lucid | 00:16 |
| al_nz1 | didnt work | 00:16 |
| dli | mecheese, you mean xorg.conf ? | 00:17 |
| CaptWho | you want xorg.conf? | 00:17 |
| mecheese | dli yes | 00:17 |
| JoAnneThrax | CaptWho: I haven't tried, though if it's a large ISO I have very limited disk space available... | 00:17 |
| CaptWho | have to specially install that from the shell | 00:17 |
| mecheese | xorg.conf is missing dli | 00:17 |
| JoAnneThrax | Can I do an upgrade by downloading the iso? | 00:17 |
| CaptWho | but you have to shut down X first | 00:17 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, from karmic? | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | JoAnneThrax: you'll need the alternate ISO | 00:18 |
| dli | mecheese, you don't need xorg.conf nowadays | 00:18 |
| mecheese | CaptWho are you talking to me? | 00:18 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: Apparently I'm still in Karmic...which is confusing me because I thought the last two hours were an upgrade from Karmic... | 00:18 |
| mecheese | dli what do I need then? | 00:18 |
| dli | mecheese, if you want to tweak something, do only that part in /etc/xorg.conf.d/ | 00:18 |
| mecheese | dli I'd like to have my monitor work. | 00:18 |
| cg2916 | i discovered something weird | 00:18 |
| Electron | bazhang, Which firefox addon? | 00:19 |
| cg2916 | Dr_Willis, when I use Pen Drive Linux tools to treat Lubuntu like Ubuntu, it works, but if Itreat it as "Other", it doesn't work | 00:19 |
| dli | mecheese, like modes? | 00:19 |
| jkoudys | On the default install of the latest ubuntu: Can I map my mouse to work like on a mac, e.g. my left + right buttons both send the first click button, but ctrl+click is a right click? | 00:19 |

| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades JoAnneThrax | 00:19 |
| mecheese | dli before I have made a xorg.conf and edited it to get it to work. as instructed by people in this chat. | 00:20 |
| bazhang | Electron, video download helper, I'll find the link if you wish | 00:20 |
| dli | mecheese, pastebin your working xorg.conf | 00:20 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: My sources.list, no doubt, needs an upgrade from the Karmic EOL repositories anyway...but that whole thing this morning about setting the prompt in etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to LTS I thought was intended to address this... | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jkoudys: I'd imagine so, would take some work | 00:20 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, check the link I just gave you | 00:20 |
| jkoudys | ActionParsnip: tips on where to start? | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jkoudys: not something I've done but I can imagine its possible | 00:20 |
| CaptWho | i was irritated because i had to download 10.04 and create an iso and now i'm upgrading | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | jkoudys: look into xmodmap is all I can suggest | 00:21 |
| mecheese | dli my xorg.conf does not exist for my hd install with nvidia. I'm using a dvd lucid to talk on here with no nvidia. | 00:21 |

| dli | mecheese, nvidia, sorry, I don't touch nvidia myself, can not help | 00:22 |
| bazhang | mecheese, out of range means you chose a higher res than allowable by your card or dont have the correct driver for that res | 00:22 |
| cg2916 | Dr_Willis, when I use Pen Drive Linux tools to treat Lubuntu like Ubuntu, it works, but if Itreat it as "Other", it doesn't work | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cg2916, makes sence to me... | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: lubuntu is ubuntu, just with a different default app set | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | theres just to many variations in how these distros work. | 00:23 |
| cg2916 | If I treat is as Ubuntu will it mess stuff up | 00:23 |
| mecheese | bazhang I have ran into this problem before. my resolution is very high for my monitor and I have used this card to make very high res with it. | 00:23 |
| bazhang | Upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 LTSNetwork Upgrade for Ubuntu Desktops (Recommended) JoAnneThrax read below that | 00:23 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: Okay...there's already a snag: I don't understand Step 1: "Start System/Administration/Software Sources" I'm not running kde/gnome | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | cg2916, lubuntu is ubuntu... | 00:23 |
| cg2916 | ALSO it says install Ubuntu instead of Install Lubuntu, and it says I need 10.2 gb instead of 5.7 | 00:23 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, then do the server one | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | cg2916, i dont trust any of those #'s | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: ive seen that on the mailing list | 00:24 |
| mecheese | bazhang I need to figure out how I fixed it before and record it lol | 00:24 |
| cg2916 | Numbers? | 00:24 |
| cg2916 | ActionParsnip, what mailing list | 00:24 |
| bazhang | mecheese, log in , recovery mode, install the drivers, reduce the res just in case, reboot | 00:24 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: Okay, thanks. Technically I'm running kubuntu, but with WindowMaker... | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | need 10.2 gb... need it to do what>? just boot? edit text files... :) | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: yeah the needed space, cant remember the solution, or if one even exists | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I need much more then 10.2 gb to do that stuff i normally do... | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: the lubuntu mailing list | 00:25 |
| cg2916 | Ok | 00:25 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, the steps for server are right there, need help with those? | 00:25 |
| * Dr_Willis looks at his 7+gb of wallpaper collection... | 00:25 | |
| famicube64 | lolwut | 00:26 |
| mecheese | bazhang that seems like a novel thing to do. I still think that there is something that I can do to get the high resolution I want. I've had it before with lucid. | 00:26 |
| bazhang | famicube64, support issue? | 00:26 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: No, I think I have it, as long as the Prompt thing is supposed to be normal...thanks! | 00:26 |
| famicube64 | was referring to Dr_Willis's comment | 00:26 |
| famicube64 | :P | 00:26 |
| Skaperen | Dr_Willis: you do a wallpaper slide show or such? | 00:26 |

| Dr_Willis | Skaperen, just a collection ive accumulated over the years. there are some neat wallpaper changer/slideshow tools out in the repoistories. and i saw a neat tool to let you generate your own gnome wallpaper slideshows the other day. | 00:28 |
| Skaperen | Dr_Willis: and I thought I was bad with 533 MB of wallpapers | 00:28 |
| mecheese | bazhang the drivers are already installed. | 00:28 |
| jewoodall | ActionParsnip: your first advice resolved my challenges. Updating fixed things. I can now hand my ex-wife back her computer, new operating system installed, and never see her again. thank you. | 00:28 |
| bazhang | mecheese, which ones, and what card, how were they installed | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | jewoodall: np bro | 00:29 |

| Dr_Willis | noip, it sprang up to normal just by itself then fell back down? | 00:29 |
| sappier | I have a question about installing polipo - I screwed something up when following some website to turn tor off from auto start, so I decided to reinstall everything | 00:30 |
| sappier | now polipo will not install | 00:30 |
| noip | ActionParsnip: wireless | 00:30 |
| mecheese | bazhang ah hah. I found the xorg.conf. I was looking in the wrong place duh. | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: what is the wireless chip? | 00:30 |
| noip | Dr_Willis - It went up by itself, and the updates finished, and I just restarted. | 00:30 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Can you remind me of the command to pull up that info? | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | noip, you got any other pcs on the same network? could be some weirdness with the isp. or some local wireless interfearance.. | 00:31 |
| mecheese | bazhang can I paste it. remind me how to I do it nonintrusively? | 00:31 |
| TrentonAdams | I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my new machine. It's an i7 3.4GHz with Vertex 3 hard drive. Everything except for the user interface are SUPER snappy. Even my keyboard typing has delays in it very badly. Any ideas? | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: sudo lshw -C network | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | TrentonAdams, your video card is what? you did insstall any needed drivers for the video chipset? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | TrentonAdams: what video chip? | 00:32 |
| noip | Dr_Willis, I have my desktop wired in. It's running windows 7 and internet is working fine. | 00:32 |
| TrentonAdams | Dr_Willis: nVidia GTX460 | 00:32 |
| mecheese | any one know how to get the xorg.conf to work with a monitor that says "signal out of range" | 00:32 |
| sappier | Could I get some help installing polipo? | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | TrentonAdams: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: sudo apt-get install polipo | 00:33 |
| bazhang | sappier, sudo apt-get install polipo | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | noip, an interesting test would be to run the wire to the problem pc. and see if it speeds up.. that would narrow it down to a Wireless driver issue i think.. | 00:33 |
| TrentonAdams | Dr_Willis: It asked to install them, I said yes, the nvidia settings are installed, but the "Additional Drivers" program says it's activated but not currently in use | 00:33 |
| sappier | actionparsnip I have, but it doesn't install any folders | 00:33 |
| jewoodall | I'm out, thanks everyone. | 00:33 |
| sappier | it shows that it's installed | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | TrentonAdams, then thats the issue. :) | 00:33 |
| noip | Dr_Willis, Oh, duh. I didn't think of that. | 00:33 |
| sappier | but there is nothing there | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | TrentonAdams, you did reboot after you installed them>? | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: do you have /etc/polipo/config | 00:33 |
| sappier | I'm sorry, it does install the folder, but no files in the folder | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: it runs as a service | 00:33 |
| sappier | I have /etc/polipo | 00:33 |
| sappier | and that's it | 00:33 |
| sappier | no files in it, or in the init.d folder | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install polipo | 00:34 |
| TrentonAdams | Dr_Willis: So how do you make it "in use", there doesn't appear to be an option. | 00:34 |

| noip | ActionParsnip, You look crazy busy. I just wanted to ask what that line in the config file does? | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | wayne: np | 00:46 |
| JoAnneThrax | Would it be a mistake to do a "sudo apt-get clean" while the "sudo do-release-upgrade" is currently running? | 00:46 |
| Pavlz | i used the richt button of the mouse and searched the trash, i clicked on it, but nothing happen | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: stops it using N speed, those chips seem to have issue with N speed under Linux | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: either is fine | 00:46 |
| Pavlz | how can i clean the trash by command line ? | 00:46 |
| Pavlz | it is full | 00:47 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, well, it didn't help. still very slow. | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: it keeps trying to use N speed and fails, adding that option will make it use G and will ironically be faster | 00:47 |
| Pavlz | can anyone help me ? | 00:47 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, -- I tried it, it didn't help. | 00:47 |
| tucemiux | is it possible to put a "shutdown" icon in unity? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: did you reboot after adding the text to the file? | 00:47 |
| pooltable | where can i find info on installed mac os on vbox? | 00:48 |
| Pavlz | in which directory is the trash ? | 00:48 |
| sappier | actionparsnip: Thank you! one last question, why didn't "sudo apt-get remove" work but "purge remove" did? | 00:48 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, No, didn't know I had to reboot. It doesn't make sense that that would be the problem because N has been working fine up until I turned on my laptop today. | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sappier: purge also removes the residual configs | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: yeah then the option will be applied to the module | 00:49 |
| wayne | ActionParsnip, not looking for a free server, looking for a binary server. | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: it's worth exploring | 00:49 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Unless maybe some update I installed yesterday didn't get set until I restarted my laptop today. | 00:49 |
| wayne | ActionParsnip, willing to pay if need be. I pay for Netflix, why not a Usenet server? | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | wayne: not something I know of, I just found the link | 00:50 |
| pooltable | wayne what do you wish to watch on netflix and where at like computer? | 00:51 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, yes, dont do it | 00:53 |
| jj_r | pooltable: I am pretty sure Virtualbox supports vmdk files so you should be ale to use an existing VMWare vdisk. Backup first | 00:54 |
| bazhang | pooltable, is this connected to ubuntu support in some way? | 00:54 |
| Guest90287 | banzhang: I tried to follow the directions of the link you sent me and I managed to get the Recovery Menu opened. Is that where I need to be? | 00:54 |
| JoAnneThrax | bazhang: Thanks. I thought it seemed like a bad idea. I'll wait until after the upgrade...which looks like it'll take 8 hours just to download (apparently not using all my bandwidth for the download) | 00:54 |
| TrentonAdams | Dr_Willis: yeah, I uninstalled and re-installed. It works now, but it simply lies to me and tells me that the driver is activated but not in use. | 00:54 |
| TrentonAdams | Does anyone know who to make unity not put my file menus at the top? I want them in the application window. | 00:55 |
| TrentonAdams | s/who/how/ | 00:55 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Rebooted. That didn't seem to work. Still slow. Takes 3-5 seconds just to send a receive request, and then loads for 3-10 seconds. | 00:55 |
| pooltable | jjr ok thanks | 00:56 |
| bazhang | TrentonAdams, does not seem possible as far as I can tell (currently), but you can get the unity bar running with the classic traditional gnome menus etc | 00:56 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, So, how can I reverse that setting in the config file? | 00:56 |
| TrentonAdams | ah, never mind, I'm still convinced unity sucks | 00:56 |
| JoAnneThrax | What, prey tell, does LTS stand for? | 00:56 |
| Guest90287 | Long Term Support | 00:56 |
| JoAnneThrax | Ah. I see. | 00:56 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, never mind, I'm re-editing that config file now. I'll just delete the line, but not the file. | 00:56 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, long term support 3 years desktop, 5 years server | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: yes, just delete the text from the file | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: if the file is now empty, you can delete the file | 00:57 |
| JoAnneThrax | So that is why the upgrade is to Lucid and not Natty or Maverick? | 00:57 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, btw. I just noticed I've been getting this error in the command line when trying to edit that file. Attempting to set the permissions of `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or directo... | 00:57 |
| pooltable | what if you want to run after 3 years how do you get help support? | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | JoAnneThrax: you need to upgrade to the next release, or the next LTS if you are at LTS currently | 00:58 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, no, you need to go step by step, for the upgrades, unless it is LTS to LTS which can jump over those | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: you could create the file to supress the message | 00:58 |
| bazhang | pooltable, you dont get any security upgrades. | 00:59 |
| noip | Can I use nano instead? Would that help? | 00:59 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Should i just use nano? | 00:59 |
| bazhang | pooltable, and it becomes unsupported, so no help here either. | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | noip: sure | 00:59 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, The file has already been created. | 01:01 |
| pooltable | bazhang if Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS what is the next version and will it have the unity thing with it ? | 01:01 |
| JoAnneThrax | Well, by the time the LTS for Lucid is over...I'll have it downloaded and installed :) | 01:01 |
| bazhang | pooltable, 12.04 | 01:01 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Any other ideas? | 01:02 |
| pooltable | bazhang so about ever 2 years? | 01:02 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, It's possible that it's my wireless on my router, but I sort of doubt that. | 01:03 |
| JasonO | Hello. Can someone please help me with a problem? I am trying to install Samba but received an error. Here is the Terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/644456/ | 01:03 |

| wayne | pooltable, I wish to be able to download mainstream movies and such | 01:04 |
| pooltable | wayne there are ways to do that i am not sure if i can say here with out breaking the ruls | 01:05 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, I was so happy with 11.04, and now this happened. | 01:05 |
| pooltable | wayne PM me | 01:05 |

| pooltable | just answer wany question | 01:06 |
| pooltable | wayne | 01:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | Well, this won't be done until 4 or 5AM. That means I have time for a sandwich. | 01:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | And four or five movies. | 01:06 |
| JasonO | Hello. Can someone please help me with a problem? I am trying to install Samba but received an error. Here is the Terminal output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/644456/ | 01:06 |
| Takyoji[laptop] | Is it even possible to install to have the OS installation on a FakeRAID? | 01:07 |
| pooltable | noip i like 11.04 minus the unity | 01:07 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto Takyoji[laptop] | 01:07 |
| bazhang | pooltable, you've been asked to stop the chit chat here. | 01:08 |
| pooltable | joannethrax what will be done ? | 01:08 |
| wayne | just did, pooltable | 01:08 |
| pooltable | sorry | 01:08 |
| noip | pooltable - I like unity overall. | 01:08 |
| JoAnneThrax | pooltable: My download of the Lucid upgrade. | 01:08 |
| bazhang | pooltable, ----> #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 01:08 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, I tried The Standard Way to reset my password and it told me the password updated successfully, but after running the "init 2" it ran a few lines of code, asked my login and passwd, ran a few lines of code then I got keyctl_search: rewuired key not available ....Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private' ....to run a command as (user "root") use "sudo <command>" ......See "man sudo_root" for details. | 01:09 |
| bazhang | Guest90287, you forgot the password for your encrypted hdd? or simply your sudo login password | 01:10 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, I guess I've forgotten both. Grrr, I feel foolish | 01:11 |
| Guest90287 | My hdd is not encrypted that I'm aware of | 01:11 |
| pooltable | joannetrax wow like my upgrade to 11.04 took a long time | 01:12 |
| bazhang | 'ecryptfs-mount-private' Guest90287 that error looks like it | 01:12 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, I'll run an OpenSuse live CD to see if it's something w/ Ubuntu. | 01:12 |
| Guest90287 | I changed my password a while back and then I've not tried booting this computer in a good while | 01:12 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, is there a cure? | 01:13 |
| maujhsn | Want to install this release! How do I do it? http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/kdenlive-svn/ubuntu/dists/lucid/ | 01:13 |
| bazhang | maujhsn, are you on lucid? | 01:13 |
| JoAnneThrax | pooltable: Yeah, it's only using about a quarter of my bandwidth for the download...which is a little inconvenient, but I'll survive... | 01:13 |
| maujhsn | bazhang Yes | 01:13 |
| bazhang | maujhsn, so add the ppa and update, then install | 01:14 |
| pooltable | joannethax why so little use more at night when you sleep? | 01:14 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, sorry if I was bothering you. Peace. | 01:14 |
| JoAnneThrax | pooltable: I have no idea why it's using so little. It's not at my end. | 01:15 |
| pooltable | joannethrax i see | 01:15 |
| bazhang | JoAnneThrax, pooltable please continue this chat in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel, thanks. | 01:16 |
| maujhsn | bazhang The PPA is installed how do I install this gpg from http://ppa.launchpad.net/sunab/kdenlive-svn/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg | 01:16 |
| bazhang | maujhsn, the instructions are there, are they not? on the ppa main page? | 01:17 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, do I have any quality options to my issue? | 01:17 |
| byroncoughlin | anybody have problems with the 3.0.0.5 kernel | 01:17 |
| maujhsn | bazhang NO! | 01:17 |
| munderwo | Hi all. I need to simulate load on ubuntu. Is there a way to slow the CPU down, or otherwise create load? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | byroncoughlin, byroncoughlin from a PPA? | 01:18 |
| maujhsn | bazhang take a look at the link! | 01:18 |
| byroncoughlin | Installed on update | 01:18 |
| bazhang | byroncoughlin, you're using 11.10 then? | 01:19 |
| byroncoughlin | bazhang yes currently running 3.0.3 | 01:20 |
| bazhang | byroncoughlin, ah okay, discussion and support for that is in #ubuntu+1 | 01:20 |
| byroncoughlin | bazhang thanks | 01:20 |
| bazhang | Guest90287, if you encrypted your hdd and forgot the pass, thats not good. | 01:21 |
| bazhang | Guest90287, hopefully you have a full set of backups of all data | 01:21 |
| Guest90287 | I highly doubt I encrypted it | 01:21 |
| rebuKe | Hey, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm having some toruble | 01:21 |
| rebuKe | I tried both USB and DVD install and they both hang on the first screen where it asks me if I want 3rd party applications | 01:22 |
| Guest90287 | I think it has to do with sudo login password | 01:22 |
| rebuKe | If I install Ubuntu 10.04 and upgrade with the dist-upgrade tool will that be like a half-assed upgrade? Should I troubleshoot my current problem or what's up? Anyone have any fixes | 01:23 |
| edbian | rebuKe: Don't worry, it's whole-assed | 01:23 |
| edbian | rebuKe: What is your current problem? | 01:23 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, I'm 100% certain that I didn't encrypt my hdd | 01:23 |
| bazhang | rebuKe, did you md5 the iso | 01:23 |
| rebuKe | edbian: As of right now, I try USB and DVD installation for 11.04. It hangs on the first install screen- the one where it asks me if I want to install 3rd party codecs and update while installing | 01:24 |
| rebuKe | edbian: no matter what options i pick/don't pick it hangs | 01:24 |
| rebuKe | bazhang: yes | 01:24 |
| edbian | rebuKe: Try running the installer from the terminal (it's called ubiquity) that way you'll see some errors hopefully when it hangs. | 01:24 |
| bazhang | rebuKe, and did the disk integrity check as well. what about bootoptions, which ones did you try and use | 01:25 |
| edbian | rebuKe: Is the liveUSB online when you get to that point? | 01:25 |
| DIL | acpi off? | 01:25 |
| rebuKe | edbian: yes, I managed to get to google and try to search around | 01:25 |
| Guest90287 | I tried changing my password a few weeks ago and it got late. I remember changing the stuff mentioned in Step 5 of the link you sent ...5. Go to the very end of the line, change the ro to rw and add init=/bin/bash | 01:25 |
| Guest90287 | press enter, then press b to boot your system. | 01:25 |
| rebuKe | bazhang: I didn't mess with any bootoptions | 01:25 |
| bazhang | rebuKe, worth a look then | 01:25 |
| bazhang | !bootoptions | rebuKe | 01:25 |
| ubottu | rebuKe: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 01:25 |
| bazhang | rebuKe, if that fails then try the alternate installer | 01:26 |
| rebuKe | bazhang: It's weird, honestly. Like, whenever a new Ubuntu release drops I always have trouble installing it. I inevitibly have to upgrade from a past release. It happened with 10.10 and 9.10 | 01:26 |
| edbian | rebuKe: ok.. So try running ubiquity in the term | 01:26 |
| edbian | rebuKe: That's not weird. That's Ubuntu | 01:27 |
| rebuKe | edbian: will do, thanks. also thank you @bazhang | 01:27 |
| edbian | rebuKe: sure | 01:27 |
| StepNjump | hi edbian, did you get my offline message? | 01:28 |
| edbian | StepNjump: no... how do I get those? | 01:28 |
| StepNjump | I don't know | 01:28 |
| StepNjump | lol | 01:28 |
| bazhang | edbian, memoserv | 01:29 |
| edbian | StepNjump: What did it say? | 01:29 |
| edbian | StepNjump: Read it | 01:29 |
| StepNjump | You were logged off. I wrote something like/msg nickname send message | 01:29 |
| StepNjump | Let me see | 01:29 |
| StepNjump | brb | 01:29 |
| edbian | StepNjump: That's very interesting. So it was stuck off in linux but it worked in windows? | 01:29 |
| edbian | StepNjump: I found it | 01:30 |
| edbian | bazhang: thanks | 01:30 |
| cjs | I've just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04, and it seems to have broken my desktop environment. When I logged in the first time, it said something about not having hardware capable of running Unity, and I should chose something before logging in. I can't seem to do that; the only options before login are a menu for access preferences (keyboard changes, etc.) and a menu to suspend/shut down/etc. As well, it's now coming up not in fvwm over gnome, as 10.1 | 01:30 |
| cjs | 0 was configured, but with something that looks like metacity and nautilus, neither of which I want to run. | 01:30 |
| cjs | So how do I fix this? | 01:30 |
| StepNjump | edbian: msg NickServ INFO nickname | 01:30 |
| StepNjump | Oh so you read it | 01:30 |
| edbian | StepNjump: I read it | 01:30 |
| edbian | ha | 01:30 |
| edbian | yes | 01:30 |
| edbian | cjs: reading... | 01:30 |
| StepNjump | Good | 01:31 |
| edbian | cjs: Click your name, then look at session at the bottom. It doesn't show up until you click your name. | 01:31 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, I found the line of code I had changed a couple of weeks back. It is the.... init=/bin/bash .....line. I changed it according to the info you first sent and hit Ctrl+x to reboot. That brought me to root@(none):/# | 01:31 |
| edbian | cjs: We can probably get unity working too btw | 01:31 |
| StepNjump | edbian, yes, I just went in Windoz to see if the hardware was working in there and it did. When I came back to linux, it started working right away upon boot up. edbian | 01:31 |
| cjs | What is unity? | 01:31 |
| edbian | StepNjump: I bet you can get it to get stuck in Linux everytime but pressing Fn + F3, am I right? | 01:31 |
| edbian | cjs: unity is a new interface built at Ubuntu | 01:32 |
| edbian | cjs: Looks like this: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/img/2010/05/ubuntu-unity.png | 01:32 |
| StepNjump | well, Fn F3 didnt work in ubuntu until I rebooted and had gone to windoze first | 01:32 |
| edbian | StepNjump: Maybe ifconfig wlan0 down will get it stuck | 01:33 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, now I need to make sure I understand what I need to do with the following instructions. ....6. Type in passwd username ....I feel ignorant, but should I type the password I set a little bit earlier and then SPACE my old username (I never changed my username). | 01:33 |
| StepNjump | as soon as I came back in Linux, I tried rfkill event and could clearly see that now it would work fine, even the led started working again. Didnt have to do anything at the term level to get it back up and running. Windows somehow fixed it. Its kind of embarrassing to say | 01:34 |
| bazhang | Guest90287, yes | 01:34 |
| StepNjump | ebdian yep maybe | 01:34 |
| edbian | StepNjump: curious | 01:34 |
| cjs | edbian: Hm. That seems to be going the wrong direction. :-) What I'm looking for looks more like this: http://www.cynic.net/misc/cjs-desktop.png | 01:34 |
| Pin | Guys my computer is stuck, "warning : unresponsive script" popup | 01:35 |
| edbian | cjs: Do you have the DE installed? (whatever it is?_ | 01:35 |
| cjs | edbian: So the main thing I need to do is a) banish nautilus, or whatever the new file manager is, and b) run fvwm rather than whatever the new window manager is. | 01:35 |
| Pin | nevermind! | 01:35 |
| edbian | cjs: How did you upgrade? Did you have fvwm installed previous to this upgrade? | 01:35 |
| cjs | edbian: DE? Yes. I run gnome with fvwm on it. The config all works under 8.04 and 8.10. | 01:35 |
| usr13 | StepNjump: Trust me, windows didn't fix anything. | 01:35 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang ....should I use sudo to start that line off or something? It told me my password was No Command. | 01:36 |
| StepNjump | ebdian.. but I learned from all of this so I changed my /etc/network/interfaces to auto wlan1 instead of auto lo that was the default. Now it boots up using my Belkin wifi dongle as the default. Good stuff | 01:36 |
| edbian | cjs: Desktop Environment = DE. How did you upgrade to 11.04 ? | 01:36 |
| cjs | edbian: Yup, updated a working 10.04 system to 10.10, which worked, and then to 11.04, which is where it stopped. | 01:36 |
| StepNjump | lol usr13.. ok let's call it ... a somewhat of a boost | 01:36 |
| edbian | StepNjump: You need auto lo and you can add auto wlan0 if you want. | 01:36 |
| cjs | For the upgrade, I got a dialogue box offering it when I first booted 10.10. | 01:36 |
| StepNjump | I need both? | 01:37 |
| StepNjump | auto lo AND auto wlan1? | 01:37 |
| edbian | cjs: Log out, click your name, look at the bottom for session, try the other sessions offered, log in. | 01:37 |
| cjs | I guess my frst question is, there used to be options on the login screen at one point way back when to choose different environments to start after you log in. are those just permanently gone now? | 01:37 |
| edbian | StepNjump: You only NEED auto lo auto wlan0 (or wlan1) is optional | 01:37 |
| cjs | Oh, it's *after* you click your name! | 01:37 |
| usr13 | cjs: NO | 01:37 |
| cjs | That's nailed me before. | 01:37 |
| edbian | cjs: You have to click you rname | 01:37 |
| StepNjump | ok | 01:37 |
| edbian | cjs: yes | 01:37 |
| StepNjump | should I have both at the same time edbian? | 01:37 |
| edbian | StepNjump: that's fine (on different lines of course) | 01:38 |
| pooltable | how to make a new folder in applications ? | 01:38 |
| StepNjump | ok | 01:38 |
| edbian | pooltable: System -> Preferences -> Menu Editor | 01:38 |
| LordDelta | Greetings, anyone know enough about the gnome-keyring to know why pidgin/gwibber/NetworkManager have been locked out of my credentials? | 01:38 |
| cjs | edbian: Ok, ubuntu classic seems to do the same thing....give me the exact same UI even. | 01:38 |
| edbian | pooltable: or maybe it's called main menu | 01:38 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, I booted into OpenSuse 11.4 and my internet connectivity was super fast again. So, it's a problem with Ubuntu 11.04 updates or something. | 01:39 |
| edbian | cjs: If you tried to log into unity and it said 'hardware not good enough' it would have dumped you to Ubuntu classic. | 01:39 |
| edbian | cjs: What else was listed? Your crazy gnome + fvwm ? | 01:39 |
| Guest90287 | bazhang, maybe it's the actual PHRASE passwd and then my username? ....These are the steps leading up to that part. Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell. | 01:39 |
| Guest90287 | 6. Type in passwd username | 01:39 |
| Guest90287 | 7. Set your password. | 01:39 |
| Guest90287 | 8. Type in reboot | 01:39 |
| FloodBot1 | Guest90287: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:39 |
| edbian | oh god | 01:39 |
| StepNjump | edbian, the reason i did all this mess is just to ensure the RF transceiver is far away from me (RF exposure). I have a USB cable that distances my Wifi dongle away from me because RF KillS | 01:39 |
| StepNjump | lol | 01:39 |
| pooltable | edbian main menu is the one what do i do from there ? | 01:39 |
| cjs | edbian: That was never listed; I modified the standard gnome to use a different wm and not start nautilus. | 01:40 |
| edbian | StepNjump: I don't think Wifi signals from dongle are nearly strong enough to be significant | 01:40 |
| StepNjump | rfkillS.. do you get it? | 01:40 |
| edbian | pooltable: hang on lemme look | 01:40 |
| edbian | cjs: I think you might have to re-modify gnome | 01:40 |
| pooltable | edbian ok | 01:40 |
| edbian | StepNjump: yes, hilarious | 01:40 |
| StepNjump | edbian.. oh.. not sure about that. It gives me a tummy ache myself when my built in wifi is on in my netbook. Not kidding... | 01:40 |
| === derp is now known as derp|gone | ||
| cjs | edbian: Yes, that's what I'm guessing.... | 01:41 |
| edbian | pooltable: click Applications on the left side. Click new Menu on the right side. | 01:41 |
| noip | Dr_Willis, I had the question earlier about my internet wireless internet connectivity slowing way down today. I booted into OpenSuse 11.4 a minute ago, and my internet was running fine. It appears to be an Ubuntu problem of some sort. Any other suggestions? | 01:41 |
| StepNjump | edbian here's a good document used in the field http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65b.pdf | 01:41 |
| edbian | cjs: sorry! :( | 01:41 |
| edbian | StepNjump: Really | 01:41 |
| cjs | edbian: So, is gconftool still the preferred command line tool for changing the gconf database? We still use the gconf database for configuration, right? | 01:41 |
| cjs | edbian: It happens. :-) | 01:42 |
| TrentonAdams | The sluggish typing is back. I don't think it's the graphics card. But it certainly is a HORRIBLE experience. Again 11.04 with ubuntu classic, I don't know what to do. My system is EXTREMELY fast. It boots in 3 seconds. | 01:42 |
| edbian | cjs: yes and yes and yes | 01:42 |
| edbian | TrentonAdams: Do you have a wireless keyboard? | 01:42 |
| TrentonAdams | edbian: no, USB keyboard | 01:42 |
| StepNjump | edbian, well as a ham radio operator, Im kind of sensitized to the subject | 01:42 |
| mrdeb | TrentonAdams: gconf editor turn off vsync | 01:42 |
| edbian | TrentonAdams: then IDK | 01:42 |
| mrdeb | i can help u | 01:42 |
| edbian | StepNjump: That is interesting but we're very offtopic | 01:42 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: where abouts in there? | 01:42 |
| edbian | mrdeb: What has that got to do with sluggish typing? | 01:42 |
| StepNjump | sure... sorry | 01:43 |
| LordDelta | ...nvm, looks like I figured out how to...ameliorate my problem. Though I have no clue why my keyring keeps on doing this to me. | 01:43 |
| edbian | StepNjump: it's ok :) | 01:43 |
| LordDelta | Keeps on locking me out of my wireless network. | 01:43 |
| mrdeb | you go into gconf-editor and then desktop, compiz, plugins, unity or install compiz settings and changes vsync. also look up speeding up ubuntu 1104 | 01:43 |
| LordDelta | I'm starting to wonder if I need to change my laptop passwd, maybe someone's hacking it. >_< | 01:43 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: I don't have compiz installed I don't think, I'm using ubuntu-classic | 01:43 |
| pooltable | edbian ok i did a test folder entill i get it to work i check mark test folder then done but then it does not show up am i missing some thing? | 01:43 |
| mrdeb | ubuntu classic has compiz installed it has effects | 01:44 |
| pooltable | I'm using ubuntu-classic | 01:44 |
| mecheese | hi. I'm back. please don't ask me to reboot into safemode. | 01:44 |
| edbian | pooltable: Oh that's an old rather annoying bug. Try logging out and then back in. | 01:44 |
| edbian | pooltable: Even mine does that and I use Debian! I'm not sure why it happens. | 01:44 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: it doesn't show in desktop | 01:44 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: in the geconf-editor | 01:45 |
| mrdeb | well install compiz-settings | 01:45 |
| pooltable | edbian i see | 01:45 |
| mecheese | how can i update xorg.conf to use nvidia drivers? | 01:45 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: it's in app->compiz | 01:45 |
| cjs | edbian: So, desktop.gnome.session.required_components.windowmanager is just "gnome-wm", which is what I used to use. Is the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable no longer honoured? Do you know what the replacement is? | 01:46 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: oh, yeah, no compiz settings manager installed | 01:46 |
| edbian | pooltable: also, something needs to be in it! | 01:46 |
| edbian | cjs: Not a clue my friend | 01:46 |
| mecheese | if only I could use my monitor with my ubuntu | 01:46 |
| pooltable | edbian ok i see how to i sort out sound a -z? | 01:46 |
| edbian | pooltable: pardon me? | 01:47 |
| DJJeff|Laptop | is there a channel I can join to ask questions about wine? | 01:47 |
| edbian | winehq | 01:47 |
| edbian | DJJeff|Laptop: | 01:47 |
| mecheese | my monitor tells me no to seeing graphics | 01:47 |
| cjs | edbian: So I guess you also wouldn't know what I need to do to stop nautilus from starting, then? | 01:47 |
| edbian | cjs: nope :( | 01:47 |
| pooltable | edbian i have listen installed but like it ti be in abc order | 01:47 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: I can't find that setting in gconf-editor, after install compiz-settings-manager | 01:48 |
| noip | ActionParsnip, Are you still around? | 01:48 |
| edbian | pooltable: They are in alpha order in the sub menus already | 01:48 |
| mecheese | dpkg-reconfigure for xorg is driving me mad | 01:48 |
| pooltable | djjeff #wine i think | 01:48 |
| mikeliss | Is there an easy way to reset audio on an 11.04 machine? | 01:48 |
| cjs | edbian: Ah! http://spidey01.blogspot.com/2011/05/using-custom-window-manager-with-gnome.html | 01:49 |
| pooltable | edbian not mine how do i fix it | 01:49 |
| BDR | So hey, I managed to unfuck things by forcing boot from CD and now I'm using a working copy of Ubuntu again! | 01:49 |
| WhyFi | Hello | 01:49 |
| BDR | (was apparently not enough to change boot priority) | 01:49 |
| edbian | cjs: horry | 01:49 |
| BDR | Hi. I know, I was away for a while. | 01:49 |
| mecheese | help me with my monitor that says no graphics | 01:49 |
| edbian | pooltable: IDK? move them up and down using hte arrows in main menu editor gui | 01:49 |
| mecheese | not even a terminal | 01:50 |
| WhyFi | Could I ask a question please? | 01:50 |
| edbian | WhyFi: hi | 01:50 |
| pooltable | edbian IDK? | 01:50 |
| edbian | BDR: horray | 01:50 |
| BDR | So now I am where I was before things got screwed up *really* nastily: trying to configure a wireless adapter that's not Linux compatible by default. | 01:50 |
| edbian | pooltable: IDK means I don't Know | 01:50 |
| mecheese | i search the internet and find nothing that helps | 01:50 |
| noip | My wireless internet is running crazy slow after I started up my laptop today. No speed issues with Windows 7, or OpenSuse. Chrome/Chromium/FIrefox all running crazy slow in 11.04. I tried turning of wireless N and that didn't help. Any other suggestions? | 01:50 |
| edbian | BDR: I think I can help but you need to catch me up | 01:50 |
| pooltable | edbian i see | 01:50 |
| edbian | pooltable: :) | 01:50 |
| mecheese | if I can get my monitor going i can see graphics | 01:51 |
| pooltable | edbian why does it do that ? | 01:51 |
| BDR | edbian: Sure. It's an Intersil 3886, and it didn't show up on a test my friend had me administer with console magic. | 01:51 |
| mecheese | nvidia is installed and my monitor is saying no | 01:51 |
| edbian | pooltable: I do not know | 01:52 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: Also, the only thing the gconf-editor can find that's called "sync" is tomboy related stuff, nothing to do with vsync | 01:52 |
| BDR | It's not autodetected by Linux either; it claimed it could not access the Internet despite the light on the adapter saying it was on and working. | 01:52 |
| pooltable | edbian do i still need to log in and out to save where i move it ? | 01:52 |
| WhyFi | I'm having a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu 11.04... My computer has two hard drives, one of them containing Windows 7. Just today I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on the other drive. It runs perfectly fine except for the fact that I have to go to the BIOS boot device selector to get it to work, as the dual boot selection prompt does not appear (if I let the PC boot normally, it will boot as Windows 7) | 01:53 |
| edbian | pooltable: Shoulding have to... | 01:53 |
| mikeliss | Is there an easy way to reset audio on an 11.04 machine? | 01:53 |
| edbian | BDR: reading... | 01:53 |
| pooltable | edbian ok | 01:53 |
| edbian | BDR: Does it show up in sudo lspci -k ? | 01:53 |
| q_ | hey thes is q whats up | 01:53 |
| edbian | ha | 01:54 |
| edbian | hi q | 01:54 |
| q_ | hey edbian | 01:54 |
| mecheese | hello. does any one want to help with my hi-res monitor not showing graphics | 01:54 |
| WhyFi | I'm trying to get this problem solved because it's annoying to have to go to the BIOS every time I want to boot up my Ubuntu... | 01:54 |
| q_ | hey edbian do you watch anime or japineys anime | 01:54 |
| edbian | ? | 01:54 |
| edbian | No and this is offtopic | 01:54 |
| bazhang | !ot | q_ | 01:54 |
| ubottu | q_: #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! | 01:54 |
| q_ | my bad whats the topic | 01:55 |
| mecheese | why does dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg not do anything in lucid | 01:55 |
| edbian | WhyFi: Tell the bios to boot the other hdd first and save the setting | 01:55 |
| bazhang | q_ ubuntu support | 01:55 |
| edbian | q_: ubutnu support | 01:55 |
| edbian | hahahah | 01:55 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: be right back, seeing if it will get fixed. | 01:55 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: logging out | 01:55 |
| WhyFi | Sure, I could do that, but then I have to go to the bios selector to manually boot Win 7... | 01:55 |
| mrdeb | ok TrentonAdams good luck | 01:55 |
| pooltable | edbian it work thanks | 01:55 |
| edbian | pooltable: awesome | 01:56 |
| WhyFi | What I would like is to get the dual boot selector working properly as I once managed with Ubuntu 9.10 | 01:56 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| edbian | WhyFi: Doesn't the grub show both? | 01:56 |
| mecheese | holy moly. I just want to see graphics. | 01:56 |
| edbian | WhyFi: Boot Ubuntu, run sudo update-grub make sure it lists both OSs | 01:56 |
| mrdeb | is ubuntu 9.1 still supported | 01:56 |
| edbian | BDR: YOu there? | 01:56 |
| bazhang | !9.10 | mrdeb | 01:56 |
| ubottu | mrdeb: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 01:56 |
| BDR | edbian: I was checking the output | 01:57 |
| mrdeb | are there any major problems with 9.1 if its notsupported now. i prefer it over the new ubunuts | 01:57 |
| edbian | BDR: sorry to interrupt. You can put it in paste.ubuntu.com if you want me to read | 01:57 |
| mecheese | does any one know how to fix a monitor not showing graphics. just let me know. I'll wait if you can help. | 01:57 |
| WhyFi | It does state "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sdb1" | 01:57 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, no security updates, ever. not supported here either. | 01:57 |
| BDR | edbian: I'm not chatting from that computer unfortunately. | 01:57 |
| pooltable | mecheese what does it say use past bit if it it long or image | 01:57 |
| edbian | WhyFi: Then when you boot Ubuntu's hdd it should give you the option to start windows :) | 01:57 |
| q_ | i sqwed up my bios what do i do replays the motherboard or re sader a bios chip | 01:57 |
| edbian | BDR: Is the target machine online at alll? | 01:57 |
| BDR | If I were I wouldn't have any trouble browsing. :( | 01:57 |
| pooltable | bit=bin | 01:57 |
| mrdeb | i mean majro problems | 01:58 |
| WhyFi | Oh, I get it... | 01:58 |
| BDR | It is not. | 01:58 |
| bazhang | q_, ##hardware | 01:58 |
| edbian | WhyFi: There ya go! | 01:58 |
| mrdeb | if you are careful yo udont need security updates | 01:58 |
| WhyFi | Because I told it to install the bootloader in the hard drive that has Ubuntu | 01:58 |
| edbian | BDR: It is not online? | 01:58 |
| kfpndc | there was a site which u paste your lspci output and it says what are your hardware does any ne knows what is the site? | 01:58 |
| MrPPS | mrdeb: Only if you're not online | 01:58 |
| BDR | It is not possible to go online with the computer. | 01:58 |
| WhyFi | So it will only work if that hard drive is in 1st priority on the BIOS it seems | 01:58 |
| bazhang | mrdeb, its offtopic here, not support and very unwise to never have security. | 01:58 |
| q_ | what boot loader did you use man | 01:58 |
| mecheese | pooltable not sure what you mean. there's just a blank screen with the notice: signal out of range | 01:58 |
| WhyFi | Thanks very much | 01:58 |
| bazhang | kfpndc, paste.ubuntu.com | 01:58 |
| BDR | I'm chatting from another, the one that is actually hooked in to the modem I'm trying to use wirelessly. | 01:58 |
| edbian | BDR: Please use my name like I'm doing for you. | 01:58 |
| mrdeb | isnt this past and present ubuntu support | 01:59 |
| BDR | edbian: sorry | 01:59 |

| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: would that vsync thing affect that? | 01:59 |
| === joshlegs is now known as veinydildo | ||
| BDR | edbian: to sum, it's not online, and this is from a computer that is using the modem I want to also use on the other one. | 01:59 |

| mrdeb | TrentonAdams: yes | 02:00 |
| will1 | Hi. Is anyone able to tell me how to clear "Most Frequently Used" in "Applications"? | 02:00 |
| edbian | BDR: excellent :) (I think you mean router instead of modem) | 02:00 |
| === veinydildo is now known as joshlegs | ||
| kfpndc | bazhang: i am pretty sure it was more than a pastebin | 02:00 |
| mrdeb | TrentonAdams: there is asecond setting that helps too | 02:00 |
| pooltable | mecheese what the name type brand of grafix card? | 02:00 |
| sroy2 | Hi - is there a way on ubuntu to see if a peice of hardware is recognized / has drivers? (specifically I have a dell m65 with a cac reader - it worked in windows but I just installed natty) | 02:00 |
| TrentonAdams | mrdeb: Well, I found the setting in the compize manager itself, so hopelly that works. It's the sync to vblank thing, right? | 02:00 |
| edbian | sroy2: sudo lspci -k | 02:00 |
| edbian | sroy2: I have no idea what a cac is :) | 02:01 |

| noip | My wireless internet is running crazy slow after I started up my laptop today. No speed issues with Windows 7, or OpenSuse. Chrome/Chromium/FIrefox all running crazy slow in 11.04. I tried turning of wireless N and that didn't help. Any other suggestions? | 02:10 |
| pooltable | mecheese sorry how are you see this but no grafix ? | 02:10 |
| WhyFi | I bet that during the time when my image is gone is when GRUB asks me to select the OS... except I can't see anything to select... | 02:10 |

| mecheese | pooltable works without nvidia. dvd ubuntu without nvidia | 02:10 |
| pooltable | mecheese ok i see | 02:11 |
| BDR | edbian: that came to me after, so i searched for intersil 3886, intersil and 2wire and nothing | 02:11 |
| pooltable | mecheese dam not sure where to start with out knowing model | 02:11 |
| edbian | BDR: What came to you? I'm very confused right now. | 02:11 |
| BDR | edbian: Searching for the card as opposed to "rfkill" | 02:12 |
| edbian | WhyFi: I think you need to configure plymouth. Plymouth is the graphical red dots you usually see when Ubuntu boots. Although I thought grub came before that. | 02:12 |
| edbian | WhyFi: Try booting while pressing shift to try to get into the grub menu | 02:12 |
| BDR | edbian: I searched for "2wire", "intersil", and "intersil 3886" and found nada. | 02:12 |
| edbian | BDR: sudo rfkill list says nothing right? | 02:12 |
| edbian | BDR: Well here is a very relevent page: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/p54?highlight=%28Intersil%29|%283886%29 | 02:13 |
| BDR | edbian: Yep. It's just like I pressed enter. | 02:13 |
| edbian | BDR: ok, what about sudo lspci -k does it list the card in there? (I know it's long) | 02:13 |

| bob_ | Question... apparently my hardware is not good enough for Ubuntu Unity... Is there a way to determine what part of my hardware failed? | 02:15 |
| edbian | bob_: Almost definitely the video card. That's what causes that error. It can usually be fixed by switching drivers. | 02:16 |
| bob_ | So just update the drivers then? | 02:16 |
| sistem | !ping me | 02:16 |
| sistem | Yah..cuma lag 1.020 detik.. | 02:16 |

| bob_ | cool, will do, thanks a bunch | 02:16 |

| thanhbinh | can y help me? | 02:17 |
| WhyFi | Hmm... It didn't work, although I saw my PC's busy light reacting to me pressing shift... So it probably means shift did something, I just couldn't see it | 02:18 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, need an actual question | 02:18 |
| nrao | Hi there getting erorr PTY allocation request failed on channel 0 while sshing to localhost | 02:18 |
| mecheese | pooltable installed already | 02:18 |
| pooltable | bob same thing here old card | 02:18 |
| pooltable | mecheese resolution is set too high try making it smaller see if that works | 02:18 |
| bob_ | Yeah, it may be the card itself, it is a bit old | 02:19 |
| thanhbinh | can I install autodesk maya on linux? | 02:19 |
| bob_ | so if the drivers dont work, I will upgrade it | 02:19 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, windows applications? | 02:19 |
| thanhbinh | yes | 02:19 |
| bazhang | !appdb | thanhbinh check here | 02:19 |

| edbian | WhyFi: Look at /etc/default/grub and change settings so you're more sure it will show up. Such as GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT | 02:20 |
| pooltable | bob i wish my card so old have to fine the driver at all | 02:20 |
| thanhbinh | no wine | 02:20 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, /join #winehq | 02:20 |

| bob_ | What is the best way to find updated video card drivers for linux? | 02:20 |
| thanhbinh | It not working | 02:21 |
| edbian | bob_: Tell me what card you have and I'll just tell you. | 02:21 |
| bazhang | bob_, additional drivers tool | 02:21 |
| pooltable | mecheese display settings | 02:21 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, if not wine, then no go. | 02:21 |
| mecheese | pooltable how do I use that | 02:21 |
| bob_ | that is easier said than done, not sure what is in this box. this is one of my old boxes. | 02:21 |
| pooltable | mecheese system - monator settinge-display settings | 02:21 |
| Quagmire | bazhang, I'm not sure if I stayed muted after my accidental flood or not, but I'm trying to fix my ICEauthority problem. | 02:21 |
| Quagmire | I have 3 errors that are left to resolve | 02:22 |
| bob_ | Let me open the case and see if I can tell | 02:22 |
| edbian | bob_: sudo lspci -k will list the card | 02:22 |
| pooltable | mecheese system - prefferences-monator settinge-display settings | 02:22 |
| bob_ | or that sounds easier :) | 02:22 |

| thanhbinh | it not work | 02:24 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, no what. did you check the wine db, yes or no. | 02:24 |
| bob_ | nouveau | 02:24 |
| jrib | saddishwasher: what do you mean exactly? | 02:24 |

| mecheese | pooltable sorry I am being obstinate :( | 02:24 |
| szal | edbian, bob_: for the GF4 to run with the proprietary nVidia driver, it needs the legady nvidia-96 | 02:25 |
| edbian | bob_: That's the open source one. If you search 'nvidia' in synaptic you'll see a list of like 20 packages with drivers in them. I have no idea which is right for you card. I think the description for each says | 02:25 |
| edbian | szal: legady ? | 02:25 |
| szal | *buntu still has it, other distros have dropped it | 02:25 |
| thanhbinh | The file '/media/FE827634827520F/Download/3ds.Max2011.x86.aotudeskmax2011/setup.exe | 02:25 |
| szal | edbian: yes, legacy | 02:25 |
| bazhang | edbian, legacy | 02:25 |
| edbian | legacy | 02:25 |
| bob_ | cool, so I can use synaptic to update the card? | 02:25 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, this is the wrong channel for that. | 02:26 |
| thanhbinh | is not marked as executable | 02:26 |
| bazhang | thanhbinh, as I have told you | 02:26 |
| bazhang | #winehq thanhbinh | 02:26 |
| edbian | bob_: yep | 02:26 |
| edbian | bob_: Get the 96 one or whatever apparently | 02:26 |
| mecheese | pooltable how will this help? I am using one user and the xorg.conf file content posted means nothing to me. | 02:26 |
| thanhbinh | Blocked: wine start/unix | 02:26 |
| robin0800 | bob_, check additional drivers first | 02:27 |
| bob_ | Is Synaptic the same thing as the Software Center? | 02:27 |
| mecheese | pooltable well two. me and root. | 02:27 |
| szal | bob_: 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot | 02:27 |
| edbian | bob_: no | 02:27 |
| bob_ | k | 02:27 |
| pooltable | mecheese sorry i am trying | 02:27 |
| edbian | bob_: software center is simplified version of synaptic | 02:27 |
| bob_ | gotcha, because it didnt find nearly as many | 02:27 |
| mecheese | pooltable it's ok | 02:27 |
| bob_ | let me try that sudo command | 02:27 |
| pooltable | did you do what SZAL just say ? | 02:27 |
| pooltable | mecheese 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot | 02:28 |
| edbian | bob_: That command just installs the driver. avoids synaptic entirely | 02:28 |
| szal | pooltable: does mecheese have the same old card? | 02:28 |
| mecheese | pooltable ok is this an earlier version of the driver | 02:28 |
| pooltable | mecheese ok when did it work right ? | 02:28 |
| bobweaver | so I have installed kde on top of 10.10 and would like to make it so there is no gnome session manager anymore | 02:29 |
| mecheese | pooltable before reinstall of ubuntu | 02:29 |
| mecheese | pooltable it's a long story | 02:29 |
| bobweaver | is there a way to do this | 02:29 |
| bob_ | that sudo command didnt work, I will check synaptic | 02:29 |
| bazhang | bobweaver, want to remove gnome entirely? or just gdm | 02:29 |
| pooltable | mecheese ok waht it 10.10 ? | 02:29 |
| edbian | bobweaver: sudo apt-get purge gdm | 02:29 |
| pooltable | mecheese ok was it 10.10 | 02:29 |
| mecheese | 10.04 | 02:29 |

| bob_ | :) Okay, how do I open synaptic :) | 02:30 |
| pooltable | mecheese ok long way get vbox installed 10.4 see if it work right then upgrade to 10.10 | 02:30 |
| robin0800 | bob_, check additional drivers first | 02:30 |
| bob_ | in the software center? | 02:31 |
| pooltable | mecheese or reinstall 10.04 | 02:31 |
| edbian | BDR: Is it a dongle or a wifi card that you stick in the motherboard? | 02:31 |
| bob_ | There are two of them | 02:31 |
| hanasaki | what is the status of gnome3 support? | 02:31 |
| bazhang | hanasaki, not supported in 11.04 | 02:31 |
| BDR | edbian: It's a USB dongle. | 02:31 |
| pooltable | hanassaki in 11.10 | 02:31 |
| edbian | BDR: ahhh, sudo lsusb ? | 02:32 |
| szal | mecheese: unless you've been told already -> to identify your graphics card, run 'lspci -v' on the terminal and look for the buzzword 'VGA', it will also tell you what driver it is currently running on | 02:32 |
| edbian | BDR: should be shorter | 02:32 |

| saddishwasher | ActionParsnip, so the issue wasn't that it was too simple, it was that I wasn't root when changing it | 02:38 |

| TrentonAdams | ActionParsnip: it is an integrated intel audio card | 02:38 |
| TrentonAdams | I have an asus board with P67 chipset | 02:39 |
| chriswr | bazhang, clamav? is that a terminal command? | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | saddishwasher: root can do as it pleases. users can reset their own paswords but I believe root can set it to anything | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | TrentonAdams: is it a branded pc? | 02:39 |
| saddishwasher | ActionParsnip, nice, thanks for the help | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswr: clamtk is a gui for clamav | 02:39 |

| edbian | BDR: I'm trying to get the Universe repo turned on. We have to do it using synaptic, I do now know where it is in there. | 02:56 |
| bazhang | BDR, you check the tab, marking which software sources you wish to use. | 02:56 |
| edbian | bazhang: Thank you! :D | 02:56 |
| bazhang | BDR, in synaptic package manager. | 02:56 |
| xibalba_ | ok wulf, one other question if you dont mind | 02:56 |
| xibalba_ | i'm trying to create fail-over nic bonding, how should i tell if the nics are the same chipset | 02:57 |
| xibalba_ | i have 2 nics, with 2 ports each | 02:57 |
| xibalba_ | i guess the mac should e one off? | 02:57 |
| xibalba_ | and they are one off :) | 02:57 |
| bob_ | it looks like I have the updated drivers installed, but they don't show for my video card. Is there something I need to do to tell my vid card to use the new driver? | 02:57 |
| * xibalba_ is excited to setup nic bonding :) | 02:58 | |
| edbian | bob_: purge the neavou package and restart. You can use sudo lspci -k to see which driver is being used | 02:58 |
| szal | bob_: relevant passage of 'lspci -v' please (everything that exceeds one line to pastebin please) | 02:58 |
| szal | bob_: btw, did you reboot? | 02:59 |
| bob_ | will try | 02:59 |
| bob_ | not yet | 02:59 |
| bob_ | should I do that first? | 02:59 |
| szal | bob_: then do that first | 02:59 |
| bob_ | k | 02:59 |
| bob_ | brb | 02:59 |
| FloodBot1 | bob_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:59 |
| edbian | BDR: I'm afraid I have to go now! I am very sure about the solution I found. You need to look at package 1 and 3 in this list: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=natty§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=all&keywords=prism54 | 03:00 |
| BDR | edbian: I will search for those. | 03:01 |
| edbian | BDR: good luck sir! | 03:01 |
| BDR | edbian: 'linux-wlan' does not show up when I search for it | 03:01 |
| edbian | BDR: You need to turn on the Universe repo first. Then they will show up. | 03:02 |
| BDR | edbian: I have not a clue how to do that. | 03:02 |
| edbian | BDR: I don't know how to on Ubuntu 11.04 other people here know how. bazhang described to you how. | 03:02 |
| bazhang | BDR, after you check the appropriate checkboxes for the software repositories, then hit reload | 03:02 |
| BDR | bazhang: How do I figure out what the appropriate checkboxes are? | 03:03 |
| bazhang | BDR, would a command line method be easier for you? | 03:03 |
| edbian | bazhang: thank you :) | 03:03 |
| edbian | I wish I could help more! | 03:03 |
| BDR | bazhang: I can follow a command line method to the letter but I have a feeling it's not going to be any more satisfactory. | 03:04 |
| BDR | bazhang: before I do I will guess - if I check the checkbox for a package, it will show the software sources? | 03:04 |
| szal | BDR: you basically need a text editor & remove a handful of # characters, then refresh package sources, that's about it | 03:04 |
| bazhang | BDR, well if you cannot find software in synaptic package manager, the tabs, then there's really no way to guide you. look a t the tabs. main universe, restricted etc and check them | 03:05 |
| xibalba_ | hey guys i created some bond groups under /etc/networking/interfces but they dont seeem to be taking | 03:06 |
| * szal has never used any of the graphical package management methods on a Debian-like system | 03:06 | |

| xibalba_ | on 10.04 | 03:06 |
| xibalba_ | do i need ifenslave on 10.04 too? | 03:07 |
| xibalba_ | doesn't look like it | 03:07 |
| semarjt | I got this question here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11048950#post11048950 it is making me crazy | 03:08 |
| bazhang | BDR, you have checked the menu for repositories? and that brings up another interface? and you look at the tabs there, checking the respective ones? | 03:08 |
| BDR | bazhang: 'the tabs' confuse me a bit only because nowhere do I see anything that says 'software sources' - what I can see is stuff like "All/Base Platform/Communications/etc." which looks like a category search thing, "Sections/Status/Origin/etc." which is not what was mentioned at all, and the list of packages that can be searched through. | 03:08 |
| xibalba_ | if i pastebin my interfaces file would one of you guys take a look? | 03:09 |
| mohammed52 | how do i install a batch file | 03:09 |
| bazhang | BDR, there is no software sources. I never mentioned that, that was from an earlier version of ubuntu. now it is done in synaptic package manager | 03:09 |
| BDR | bazhang: okay, repositories I found. | 03:10 |
| bazhang | BDR, then click it. | 03:10 |
| bazhang | BDR, then look for the respective software sources, also known as "repos" or software repositories, where ubuntu installs its software from. then close it, and hit reload. | 03:11 |
| BDR | bazhang: i did, it now has 'software sources' up. | 03:11 |

| xibalba_ | oh sorry | 03:12 |
| tauntaun | Newbie question: Do email clients each have their own particular file formats, and if yes, how do I commit to one? | 03:12 |
| bazhang | BDR, check the ones marked main universe restricted and so on. you may also wish to go to tab marked other software and select canonical partners, to install the java browser plugin for firefox | 03:12 |
| tauntaun | Of course I've googled around...I'm really wondering if it's easy to convert between formats if I need to change clients. | 03:13 |
| mohammed52 | does anyone know how to install run a .bat file | 03:13 |
| xibalba_ | Wulf , have you done nic bonding? i'm sure you have could you take a look | 03:13 |

| xibalba_ | i'm at the datacenter now trying to get this to work, unfortuantely didn't have time to test in the lab | 03:13 |
| pitlimit | I have a 64-bit operating system and want to install a 64-bit Ubuntu LTS version. The OS download page says that the 32-bit system is "recommended" Is there any reason I should not install the 64-bit version? | 03:14 |
| szal | tauntaun: most clients can use maildir and/or mbox, so choose either one & you're gtg in most cases.. maildir = every mail is its own file, accounts are organized in directories; mbox = every mail account's content is saved as one file | 03:14 |
| Wulf | xibalba_: I have. But I'm busy atm. | 03:14 |
| bazhang | pitlimit, poorly worded page. install 64bit | 03:14 |
| xibalba_ | alrighty | 03:14 |
| Blue1 | pitlimit: I am currently running 10.10 (not an lts) 64 bit with no issue | 03:14 |
| tertl3 | pitlimit, i would go with 64bit | 03:14 |
| xibalba_ | i shall keep on googling | 03:14 |
| pitlimit | thanks tertl3 | 03:14 |
| tauntaun | szal: thanks, that helps. | 03:14 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, google.com/linux | 03:15 |
| tertl3 | pitlimit, np | 03:15 |
| * tauntaun will probably go with 'maildir'... | 03:15 | |
| xibalba_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/644502/ , i've got it here. i'm reading right from hte ubuntu docs | 03:15 |

| pitlimit | ActionParsnip: is 10.04 LTS? | 03:16 |
| pitlimit | oops | 03:16 |
| pitlimit | ActionParsnip: is 10.04 LTS Lucid? | 03:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | pitlimit: yes | 03:17 |
| BDR | bazhang: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com... | 03:17 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | pitlimit: 10.04 LTS == Lucid | 03:17 |
| pitlimit | Are you suggesting ActionParsnip that I should download the latest version rather than Lucid if I want better performance from 64-bit? | 03:17 |
| bazhang | BDR, you reloaded first, correct? | 03:17 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, use allow-hotplug ethX, use only 1 "auto" line, eg: "auto lo eth0 eth1" | 03:17 |
| BDR | bazhang: yes | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | pitlimit: yes the next will be 12.04 | 03:18 |
| BDR | bazhang: on reload that was the message i got | 03:18 |

| ubottu | pooltable: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:18 |
| pitlimit | hm ok... so to be clear, Natty will potentially perform better on a 64-bit OS than Lucid | 03:19 |
| bazhang | BDR, check your internet is working, then switch servers, also in synaptic package manager, if it is. | 03:19 |

| [THC]AcidRain | i dont even see where to do that? | 03:19 |
| BDR | bazhang: that's the problem, the only way i can use the internet is through a wireless connection, and the wireless adapter is what i use to see it. | 03:19 |

| [THC]AcidRain | if you mean on the absolute positioning? | 03:19 |
| xibalba_ | i found init.network-interface | 03:20 |

| xibalba_ | damn i think the documentation is incorrect, i can't find a man page for it either | 03:20 |

| xibalba_ | i checked man 5interfaces | 03:21 |

| xibalba_ | not much info on it | 03:21 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hang on | 03:21 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, NM should be set to no in the default config file as well | 03:21 |
| bazhang | BDR, I understand that, try to switch servers nonetheless. pastebin the output if you are able | 03:21 |

| yagoo | xibalba_, that file just wondering may be substituted from debian.. trying to see if there needs to be an NM set | 03:24 |

| [THC]AcidRain | celthunder: should i set it up as twinview, or separate x screen? | 03:25 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, checking | 03:26 |
| BDR | bazhang: still failed | 03:26 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, ok Disabling NetworkManager | 03:26 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, nothing | 03:26 |

| bazhang | BDR, also from the terminal: ping www.google.com | 03:26 |
| xibalba_ | isn't that for desktoponly ? | 03:26 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, if use the interfaces file.. you disable the NetworkManager (NetworkManager means end-users can change network icon settings) | 03:26 |
| BDR | ping: unknown host www.google.com | 03:27 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, i'm on a server no GUI, no x-windows | 03:27 |
| xibalba_ | no icon | 03:27 |
| BDR | bazhang: ping: unknown host www.google.com | 03:27 |
| bazhang | BDR, so you dont have an internet connection, or its a dns issue | 03:27 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, dunno if NM default still applies | 03:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | how do i restart x? | 03:27 |
| RatPackSopra | hey guys, I booted from a live CD I had sitting around and maybe this is a crazy question, but is it possible to fix my installed version by reinstalling from the live CD? | 03:27 |
| xibalba_ | NM is not on this system | 03:27 |
| szal | RatPackSopra: if you have one user on your machine, its user ID (uid) is 1000, if you have more than one user, you need to know your user's uid, then you can look at the directory listing ('ls -lRn /home/yourUserName > ls-lR.txt' <- that will save the directory listing as a text file) | 03:27 |
| xibalba_ | man why is this documentation not more detailed, or point to a manual page | 03:28 |
| xibalba_ | jeez | 03:28 |
| szal | RatPackSopra: what do you mean by 'fix'? | 03:28 |
| BDR | bazhang: Brilliant deduction! the lack of connection was what I was trying to solve. :P | 03:28 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, if eth0/1/2/3 lo appear with ifconfig -a.. then your hardware is working | 03:28 |
| xibalba_ | is it bond-slaves or bond_slaves | 03:28 |
| bazhang | BDR, why are you trying to update a system without an internet connection | 03:28 |
| xibalba_ | there is no bond information | 03:28 |
| xibalba_ | and no ip set on the bond0 | 03:29 |
| xibalba_ | or bond | 03:29 |
| xibalba_ | bond1 | 03:29 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, btw there should be bond docs on that.. | 03:29 |
| BDR | bazhang: I'm not sure, I thought you were trying to help me fix my usb adapter so it'd work. | 03:29 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, did u try apt-cache search bond|grep doc ? | 03:29 |
| RatPackSopra | szal, well I have only had one user ever set up on this laptop. As far as fix, I mean I reinstall without wiping everything out that is currently on the hdd? | 03:29 |
| szal | RatPackSopra: what's the actual issue? | 03:29 |
| BDR | bazhang: cause i mean that was my original problem in the first place | 03:29 |
| xibalba_ | no, but i will now | 03:29 |
| bazhang | BDR, you want to get the drivers on a non-internet connected device through that same device? an ethernet cable is required here. until it can be fixed | 03:30 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, this the enslave package? | 03:30 |
| xibalba_ | only chemistry bonds | 03:30 |
| xibalba_ | no, i'm not using enslave. didn't think i needed to for 10.04 | 03:30 |

| xibalba_ | oh that was a typo on pastebind, it's bond-slave in my config | 03:33 |

| xibalba_ | proc/net/bonding doesn't exist | 03:39 |
| zykotick9 | if anyone is interested, as hanasaki seems to have left - that "/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list true" is in gconf-editor on Ubuntu | 03:39 |
| raginkestrel | Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen in xscreensaver? | 03:39 |
| xibalba_ | do i need to adjust something with the loader.conf ? | 03:39 |
| xibalba_ | to get it working, i just dont get it. the docs say its so simple | 03:39 |
| xibalba_ | especially on 10.04 w/out enslave | 03:39 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, dunno.. maybe theres a bond module that needs to be loaded? (lsmod |grep bond) | 03:40 |
| bazhang | BDR, there are other choices if you are not on natty, and after such great length of troubleshooting I have lost track of what you are running | 03:40 |
| xibalba_ | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2011-March/005323.html | 03:40 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, (modprobe bonding) | 03:40 |
| xibalba_ | check out that post | 03:40 |
| BDR | bazhang: It's natty, no worries. | 03:40 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, did u load the bonding module? | 03:41 |
| RatPackSopra | well guys is there a way to just reinstall over a current installation without killing my data? | 03:41 |
| BDR | bazhang: writing the CD now | 03:41 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, what is it ? | 03:41 |
| bazhang | http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/download BDR since you need to do sneakernet this is the page you want | 03:41 |
| xibalba_ | maybe you do need ifenslave enven though you dont need to conf it in neworking/interfaces | 03:41 |
| xibalba_ | i haven't installed it yet | 03:41 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, bond0 bond1 are devices.. they need a driver for them.. (if they're not built in the kernel.. they have be loaded) | 03:42 |
| BDR | bazhang: thanks, i found the page already though. | 03:42 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, modprobe bonding | 03:42 |
| bazhang | BDR, download the deb transfer to usb stick via working computer -----> walk over to non-working, double click the deb file | 03:42 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, lsmod |grep bonding .. if it worked then u dont have to retype this on any reboot afterwards | 03:42 |
| xibalba_ | aren't they virtual devices? | 03:42 |
| xibalba_ | they're not hardware | 03:42 |
| xibalba_ | it's grouping hardware logicallt | 03:42 |
| bazhang | BDR, you're welcome | 03:42 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, yeah.. but even virtual devices need modules too.. | 03:42 |
| odix | how do i format a hard drive in linux command line, no filesystem ? | 03:43 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, lo is virtual loopback device as well | 03:43 |
| xibalba_ | how have you set it up? | 03:43 |
| odix | just wipe the whole thing and add the boot fla | 03:43 |
| xibalba_ | where should i enable it then? | 03:43 |
| xibalba_ | i'm unsure | 03:43 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, ????? I gave the command twice.. I'm hoping this is the standard for loading the bonding device.. | 03:43 |
| odix | i cant find it online everything talks about partition and adding a filesystem, i just want a blank hard drive like you just bought it from stor | 03:43 |
| xibalba_ | lsmod showed nothing | 03:44 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, dmesg |grep bond shows anything? | 03:44 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, find /lib/modules |grep -i bond | 03:44 |
| odix | how do i format a hard drive to raw ? | 03:45 |
| yagoo | odix, sounds like your girlfriend might find out about ur dirty porn collection | 03:46 |
| odix | haha no | 03:46 |
| xibalba_ | does anyone have a working example? | 03:46 |
| xibalba_ | on 10.04.2 | 03:46 |
| rww | yagoo: That's not appropriate for this channel. | 03:47 |
| symptom | odix scrub | 03:47 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, anything listed with the last command i gave? | 03:47 |
| yagoo | odix, anything with /dev/zero is very dangerous use it wisely | 03:47 |
| xibalba_ | this day has been horrid thus far | 03:47 |
| symptom | dd if=/dev/random of=/ | 03:47 |
| symptom | right | 03:47 |
| xibalba_ | 12 hours in this data center, ugh | 03:47 |
| symptom | I always get them backwards | 03:47 |
| symptom | actualy dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda | 03:48 |
| symptom | but you need to mount the harddrive separate from a running system..... probably | 03:48 |
| symptom | !dd | 03:48 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, i figured it out | 03:48 |
| symptom | !scrub | 03:49 |
| rww | symptom: that's likely to be extremely slow. You probably mean /dev/urandom :) | 03:49 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, are you on ubuntu or not? | 03:49 |
| xibalba_ | i didn't have alias bond0 bonding in my /etc/modproe.d/bonding.conf | 03:49 |
| xibalba_ | yes, 10.04.2 | 03:49 |
| symptom | rww, sure | 03:49 |
| xibalba_ | told you | 03:49 |
| xibalba_ | however i need 2 bonds | 03:49 |
| xibalba_ | i think i need to adjust, that two liner didn't work | 03:49 |
| yagoo | rww, you got that wrong again.. :p | 03:49 |
| RatPackSopra | about fixing a messed up ubuntu install with a live cd of the same version? Can it be done easily? | 03:49 |
| * yagoo says /dev/random is slower than /dev/zero | 03:49 | |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, how would i setup bonding.conf if i wanted 2 bond groups? | 03:49 |
| symptom | cat /dev/urandom hehe | 03:50 |
| rww | yagoo: /dev/random is also slower than /dev/urandom. | 03:50 |
| xibalba_ | i have 4 NICs total | 03:50 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, u need the bonding device. | 03:50 |
| xibalba_ | i added to my bonding.conf , alias bond0 bonding \n alias bond1 bonding | 03:50 |
| xibalba_ | but it only showed bond0 | 03:50 |
| xibalba_ | not bond1 | 03:50 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, I'm asking about the device. | 03:50 |
| symptom | !yes | 03:50 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, "file /lib/modules" | 03:50 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, what does that say? | 03:50 |
| xibalba_ | directory | 03:51 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, then run the find line i gave.. | 03:51 |
| xibalba_ | i loaded the bond module | 03:51 |
| xibalba_ | but it's only working for one bond | 03:51 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, what does "modinfo bonding" say ? | 03:52 |
| xibalba_ | alot | 03:52 |
| apporc | I copied my kvm images from one machine to another , but found that i was unable to use them. | 03:52 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, the version.. | 03:52 |
| xibalba_ | oh, 3.5.0 | 03:52 |
| apporc | I surfed the net and found maybe it is because of apparmor , so can anyone tell me how to update apparmor profile . | 03:53 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, check /proc to probe the max bonds allowed.. there's also a param to the module if the limit is 1. | 03:53 |
| xibalba_ | oh really? | 03:53 |
| xibalba_ | ok | 03:53 |
| apporc | Thanks in advance | 03:53 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo where under /proc ? | 03:53 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, not sure if u can tell--> cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 | 03:54 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, got it, had to bring th interface up first | 03:55 |
| xibalba_ | it doesn't say a max | 03:55 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, so your problem primarily probably was you forgot to load the bonding the device.. | 03:55 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, stupid me | 03:55 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, now try testing it | 03:55 |
| xibalba_ | bond1 isn't showing up, i dont see where to adjust the max bonds | 03:56 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, u probably don't want auto on eth0.. maybe u want to fix the Hwaddress to eth0/1/2/3 | 03:56 |
| xibalba_ | i switched them all to static, so every lines reads = iface ethX inet static | 03:56 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, how many bonds are listed in /proc/net/bonding ? | 03:56 |
| xibalba_ | just 1, bond0 | 03:56 |
| xibalba_ | there should be a bond1 too | 03:56 |
| Pin | Guys my Update Manager says " The package information was last updated 11 days ago presst he Check button below to check for new software updates," when i click check i get a popup window saying " failed to down load repository information - check your internet connection" when i click details it says "W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found | 03:57 |

| Pin | , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." | 03:57 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, so the MACAddress for eth1/2/3 should be typed in interfaces as well.. | 03:57 |
| xibalba_ | oh, it doesn't pull the hardware? | 03:57 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, eth0 can change for different hardware... | 03:57 |
| xibalba_ | i dont see it in the doc page | 03:57 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, Macaddress would prevent it from changing | 03:57 |
| xibalba_ | any thoughts on why bond1 isn't showing / | 03:58 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, it may change... so to be 100% u can set the macaddress for each eth0/1/2/3 and take eth0/1/2/3 out of the auto line (use eth0/1/2/3 in allow-hotplug eth0) | 03:58 |
| xibalba_ | how come the second bond1 wont show | 03:59 |
| xibalba_ | fiddle sticks | 03:59 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, ps aux|grep -i mana | 03:59 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 shows the proper interfacas? | 04:00 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, what's the MII Status ? | 04:01 |
| xibalba_ | checking | 04:01 |
| xibalba_ | no bond0 is showing load-balancing | 04:01 |
| xibalba_ | i selected bond_mode 1 for fail-over | 04:02 |
| xibalba_ | mii status is down? what is that | 04:02 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, also check the MAcAddresses to see if they're correct with the physical. As i said if u reboot the machine the eth0 may change.. so use macaddress setteing in the interfaces file | 04:02 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, mii is for data-link layer.. | 04:02 |
| KagomeS | does anybody else not have programs load on Natty Narwhal? | 04:03 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, basically if its working mii-status should say the very least it's up.. even if the ip address is wrong. | 04:03 |
| xibalba_ | everytime i run 'service networking restart' it says "unknown instance" | 04:03 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, could you pastebin me an example on where ot put the HW addresses? | 04:03 |
| KagomeS | Many programs "start" but all I get is a title bar in black or gray and then the rest of the window is completely white | 04:04 |
| KagomeS | not even a scrollbar | 04:04 |
| KagomeS | no menu | 04:04 |
| KagomeS | nothing like that | 04:04 |
| xibalba_ | it's still saying load balancing, yagoo | 04:04 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, did u specify miimon or arp_interval? | 04:04 |
| KagomeS | did somebody send me something? I had a popup window come up, but it suddenly disappeared | 04:04 |
| xibalba_ | no i did not | 04:04 |
| xibalba_ | just the basics | 04:04 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, see the warning.. do rmmod bonding.. then modprobe bonding.. read any warnings... | 04:04 |
| xibalba_ | i just wnat the asic set first | 04:05 |
| xibalba_ | rmmod, nothing | 04:05 |

| StepNjump | Could anyone suggest me a good alternative to itunes for ubuntu that would allow me to search new podcasts such as in searching the itunes store | 04:05 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, so hten its fine.. | 04:05 |
| xibalba_ | hey | 04:05 |
| xibalba_ | is it because i dont have enslave installed yet? | 04:06 |
| xibalba_ | i run 'enslave' and get noting | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: amarok or banshee, the itunes store is only access | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | accessible with itunes | 04:06 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, now because u get the bonding listed under proc | 04:06 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, i mean "no because..." | 04:06 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo | 04:06 |
| xibalba_ | you going to be around for a bit ? | 04:07 |
| xibalba_ | i need to go for a smoke | 04:07 |
| xibalba_ | been here 12 hours | 04:07 |
| StepNjump | ok ActionParsnip... that's too bad. I think Amarok though only runs in kde right? | 04:07 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, are you reading any documentation? | 04:07 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, apparently u're making mistakes everywhere.. | 04:08 |
| xibalba_ | yagoo, yes i've read alot of docs | 04:08 |
| xibalba_ | and thanks :( | 04:08 |
| yagoo | xibalba_, do you know what "bond-mode 1" is for? | 04:08 |
| xibalba_ | fail over | 04:09 |
| xibalba_ | active/passive | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: you can install any KDE app under Gnome and it will run. You wil pull in a tonne of Qt libs as dependencies but it certainly isn't ONLY for kde | 04:09 |
| synackfin | how do I make ssh by default enable X11 forwarding for a certain server? | 04:09 |

| synackfin | yahoo: is there any way to enable it at the config file level? | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: you do know that itunes may run in wine.. | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: check the appdb | 04:10 |
| yagoo | synackfin, dunno.. maybe.. | 04:10 |
| kaligula | spanish | 04:10 |
| yagoo | synackfin, for server it has to be enabled of course | 04:10 |

| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, perhaps this may help (pretty sure it will) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Setting_DPI_manually | 04:25 |

| [THC]AcidRain | which is the monitor that is having these problems | 04:28 |
| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, calculate your displaysize values... | 04:28 |
| jimubao_ | has anyone had exp with moving site from one host to another ? | 04:28 |
| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, the monitor not giving the correct output.. try using displaysize for the videocard setting | 04:28 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm.... yagoo, this has to do with resolution and screen size | 04:30 |
| [THC]AcidRain | which is not my issue... | 04:30 |

| bob_ | Also depends on xserver-xorg-core but it is not going to be installed | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bob_: are there any bugs reported which say the same? | 04:39 |

| bob_ | Okay, I did ubuntu-bug nvidia-96 to collect info on the bug, and it appears that because I attempted to install nvidia drivers from nvidia.com it messed it up. It wants me to uninstall those drivers. How do I do that? THe install from nvidia.com failed btw. | 04:54 |

| solid_liq | Captainkrtek, into the same box? | 05:06 |
| Captainkrtek | yup | 05:06 |

| solid_liq | or | 05:06 |
| Captainkrtek | it can ping, access it via http, etc. | 05:06 |
| Captainkrtek | just timesout on ssh | 05:06 |
| solid_liq | sshd has permanently blocked the box you're trying from | 05:06 |
| solid_liq | check its block list | 05:06 |
| Captainkrtek | happen to know where the block list is by chance? | 05:07 |
| solid_liq | nope, I forget | 05:07 |
| Captainkrtek | k | 05:07 |
| Captainkrtek | ill try that, thanks | 05:07 |
| solid_liq | it's been a few years since I've seen that issue | 05:07 |

| ActionParsnip | bobweaver: stupid google poisoning the lnks :( | 05:09 |
| yagoo | kubanc, file:// means it's local.. it's not being serviced to anyone but localhost | 05:09 |
| kubanc | yagoo, no no, if i would like to see my ubuntu one folder from windows machine or any other machine... | 05:09 |
| solid_liq | Captainkrtek, try from a different user on the source box | 05:10 |
| kubanc | yagoo, so lets say, i would go to play www.ubuntu.one, then login to my folder and could download my files? | 05:10 |
| yagoo | kubanc, then ask urself.. how? sftp:// smb:// http:// ftp:// ? | 05:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | wow | 05:10 |
| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, no? | 05:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | that was even more of a fail. | 05:10 |

| Captainkrtek | solid_liq, timesout as well :/ | 05:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | man idk. i believe im goign to have to venture off on my own | 05:11 |

| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, just keep an original copy.. no need to reedit.. | 05:12 |
| solid_liq | Captainkrtek, can you successfully ssh into different machines from that source machine? | 05:12 |
| kubanc | yagoo, i'm not asking about thah, can i access my ubuntu one account over www? | 05:12 |
| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, if it fails that bad.. try adding DisplaySize for both monitors.. | 05:12 |
| yagoo | [THC]AcidRain, did u try that? | 05:12 |
| [THC]AcidRain | yeah | 05:12 |

| yagoo | Captainkrtek, port 22 needs to be opened in the firewall.. ssh uses port 22 | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | yagoo: the port can be changed in config | 05:14 |
| p_res | exit | 05:14 |
| Captainkrtek | yagoo, im using a different port, trust me that is not the issue | 05:14 |
| yagoo | if he types ssh with a port number.. by default its port 22 | 05:15 |
| yagoo | without a portnumber->port 22 | 05:15 |
| Captainkrtek | yagoo, Im using ssh -p portnumber | 05:15 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, so..? | 05:15 |
| Captainkrtek | I know a good bit about ssh, this is just an odd issue | 05:15 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, what number u using? | 05:15 |
| Captainkrtek | 1686 | 05:15 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek... so fix the firewall for inletting that # | 05:15 |
| Captainkrtek | it uses it fine.. | 05:16 |
| Captainkrtek | I can ssh to the box from another machine using that port | 05:16 |
| Captainkrtek | I have a server, im trying to ssh from it to another server, doing that it times out. from my laptop it does not timeout ssh'ing to either box | 05:16 |
| Captainkrtek | using the same exact commands | 05:16 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, probably a NAT issue | 05:16 |
| bousselham | HI | 05:16 |
| solid_liq | Captainkrtek, you should ask in ##linux | 05:17 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, is this client not ssh'ing properly in the same 192.x.x.x network? | 05:17 |
| Captainkrtek | its not local | 05:17 |
| Captainkrtek | thanks solid_liq | 05:17 |
| solid_liq | np | 05:17 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, so it's probably ur NAT box not allowing that port forwarding in | 05:17 |
| Captainkrtek | ill see | 05:17 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, that's more complicating to fix | 05:18 |
| yagoo | Captainkrtek, ur ssh server needs to be on a fixed internal address | 05:18 |

| [THC]AcidRain | it appears that no matter what setting i do. it is forcing twinview | 05:26 |
| ActionParsnip | CeleronCE: what is the output of: lsb_release -d | 05:26 |
| CeleronCE | Yeah, used to work for me but it suddenly stopped working. | 05:26 |
| Darael | CeleronCE: Perhaps because it doesn't make sense to quit while in the process of saving (they want you to cancel the save first, to make sure that's what you want), or to scroll the page (you should have checked before saving). | 05:26 |
| Darael | CeleronCE: I can only assume I have misunderstood. ActionParsnip is known to be much more competent than me anyway. Good luck. | 05:27 |

| benteknon | #furaffinity | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | introuble: both do security equally well. both are stable and both are definately free | 05:46 |
| introuble | ActionParsnip whats the difference | 05:46 |
| Darael | introuble: Well, ext3 has had longer to prove its stability. In security terms I understand them to be equal. I understand the error rates to be similarly low. Ext4, however, has features. It's the next version, after all, even if it's a "stopgap" on the way to btrfs. | 05:47 |
| HackNewton | hi | 05:47 |
| rww | introuble: ext4 is newer and faster. | 05:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | why do some of my screensavers not work? | 05:48 |

| DamnSoGood | hello, i'm on ubuntu10.10, my netbook is Acer AO ZG5 with a 8gb SSD, i notice that it is always freezing randomly, i think it is because of my hard drive.. what ca i do to improve the performance of my HD in ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| Darael | introuble: Error-checking most certainly is present in ext4. Ext3, being the version before, has been around for longer and has thus had longer to prove itself stable. | 05:50 |
| rww | introuble: If you're new, then just use what Ubuntu uses by default: ext4. It's default for a reason. | 05:50 |
| Darael | introuble: Ext4 is generally better than ext3 for the majority of purposes. | 05:50 |
| introuble | Darael rww ok. | 05:50 |
| HackNewton | DamnSoGood, run hdd dignostic utility to view is there any problem | 05:51 |
| DamnSoGood | what is that app? | 05:51 |
| introuble | Darael rww thanks ! | 05:51 |
| HackNewton | DamnSoGood, you can use Smartmontools | 05:52 |
| Darael | DamnSoGood: The SMART Data box, reached from the program "Disk Utility", has an option to start a drive self-check. That's as good a place as any to start. Alternatively, do what HackNewton suggests. | 05:52 |

| introuble | Darael rww i just LOVE linux. its just 2 problems. one all and majority of worlds apps are for windows. you can find any and you can find veriety. 2. its gives less command as compared to linux but windows is easy (click click thing). if i have to read and configure linux configs . i get head aches. | 05:53 |
| andrewh192 | how do i copy remote files to another remote location via ftp? | 05:53 |
| DamnSoGood | ok thanks dudes :D | 05:53 |
| Darael | introuble: Apps are made for Windows in many cases, it's true. You might want to think about searching for what you want to do, rather than the program you're used to using to do it. That, in my experience, tends to get better results. | 05:54 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, there are many remote computing utilities available Ubuntu also have one which comes with installation | 05:54 |

| Darael | introuble: As for "click click thing", software installs are definitely easier in the Debian family, such as Ubuntu (because of the repository system) and the only time I've had to mess with config files was when playing with server software that assumes a certain level of willingness to do so. | 05:55 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, there is remote desktop functionalitiey | 05:55 |
| Darael | !ask | pikkie | 05:55 |
| ubottu | pikkie: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:55 |
| pikkie | sorry ubotto,, new here | 05:56 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: ok.. I think that would be great, but i am actually tryin to just move files on a ftp server to another site. | 05:56 |
| introuble | Darael no . not just installs. configs. too. | 05:56 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, use filezilla then | 05:56 |
| Darael | introuble: Hence my /other/ comment, about config files. | 05:56 |
| Zimm3r | Is there anyway to decrease the time the alt tab window takes to appear | 05:56 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, its easy and fast | 05:56 |
| pikkie | i can create new folders on the server share but not rename it | 05:56 |
| andrewh192 | will it allow me to use the source directory as a remote directory? | 05:56 |
| andrewh192 | as well as the destination directory | 05:57 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, yes | 05:57 |
| andrewh192 | kewl | 05:57 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: i am using barftp and it only shows my local files, and so that's why i ask if it was possible | 05:57 |
| andrewh192 | bareftp rather | 05:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ha | 05:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it works fine | 05:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | :D | 05:58 |
| introuble | Darael ok. | 05:58 |
| introuble | thx | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | introuble: i'd use ext4 it is the default fs in ubuntu | 05:58 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, you can do it in filezilla but use server version | 05:58 |
| introuble | Darael i hope it supports ntfs and fat32 . read and writ. | 05:58 |
| introuble | Darael ubuntu i mean | 05:59 |
| andrewh192 | ok | 05:59 |
| Darael | introuble: It has done for years, without issue. | 05:59 |
| Zimm3r | introuble: ya ubuntu supports ntfs and fat32 just used it today and yesterday a bunch | 05:59 |
| introuble | Darael ya. last time i used to use kubuntu. it had no ntfs write freature. | 05:59 |
| introuble | Zimm3r ok | 05:59 |
| Darael | introuble: That must have been some time ago; ntfs writeable has been around since at least Hardy, which was three years ago. | 06:00 |
| Darael | fsdggs: Pull up the Log File Viewer and look at Xorg.0.log - the info on what driver is in use is in there. | 06:00 |
| em | ext4 supports nano-second timestamps. | 06:00 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: so that version... i went to Ubuntu Software Center and searched for it. | 06:00 |
| rww | It's been around since a while before Hardy, if memory serves. | 06:00 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: there is just one "version" there. or should i download it from the website manually? | 06:00 |
| rww | I suspect user error ;) | 06:00 |
| Darael | I thought so, but was only certain for Hardy. | 06:00 |
| em | writing to ntfs was not depndable in Feisty | 06:00 |
| rghose | audacity 1.3.12-beta repeatedly getting hung when copying stereo data from 1 track to another in the same project in ubuntu 10.10... any help ? | 06:00 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, download from website that will ease you | 06:00 |
| Zimm3r | I think like 4 years ago i had some problems with ntfs but not anymore | 06:00 |
| introuble | Darael ya. iam a old user. but i had gaps in my linux passion. go into busines. got married. never used computers since then | 06:01 |
| introuble | :) | 06:01 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: ok, and there should be one marked as a server version correct? | 06:01 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, yes you will see it | 06:01 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: ok.. thanx | 06:01 |
| Darael | introuble: Well, good for you for coming back. You will notice that an awful lot has moved on quite a lot since you last looked. | 06:01 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: i found it.. says its only for windows | 06:02 |
| em | introuble: there's no more xorg.conf by default | 06:02 |
| introuble | Darael ok | 06:02 |
| em | introuble: and the audio stack is now more convoluted. | 06:02 |
| introuble | em aaahh.. ya. i remember . i usually messed with xorg.conf. so what is the replacement | 06:03 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, hmm i just cheacked ok i will find solution for you just hang over here | 06:03 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: ok.. thanx | 06:03 |
| em | introuble: if you find someone who knows please tell me | 06:03 |
| Darael | introuble: You can place overrides in an xorg.conf that you create, but most of the config gets autogenerated on the fly for X these days. | 06:03 |
| em | Darael: how is it getting auto-generated? | 06:04 |
| introuble | Darael hm. ic. so what is the xorg.conf replaced by?/ | 06:04 |
| em | HAL? | 06:04 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: i would think there would be a way to do it via a terminal window | 06:04 |
| Darael | em: The X server does it on the fly. I'm not familiar with the mechanism. | 06:04 |
| rww | introuble: Autodetection. If you need to use xorg.conf, make an xorg.conf and it'll read it. | 06:04 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: it might not be the prettiest, but i would thnk there would be some command or something that might allow that to happen | 06:04 |
| introuble | rww ic. | 06:05 |
| introuble | em <rww> introuble: Autodetection. If you need to use xorg.conf, make an xorg.conf and it'll read it. | 06:05 |
| em | I think it was HAL but now HAL has also been replaced. I think xorg was replaced by something obscure and magical that few understand and then that obscure thing was replaced with something more mysterious yet. | 06:05 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, may be better ask here | 06:05 |
| pikkie | HackNewon would you know why i cannot rename files on ubuntu server share? | 06:05 |
| rww | em: Xorg hasn't been replaced by anything. | 06:05 |
| Darael | em: xorg is still there. AFAIK it will continue to be there until and unless we move to Wayland. | 06:05 |
| em | rww: it isn't there. | 06:05 |
| em | No it isnt there unless you make one. | 06:05 |
| rww | em: Are you talking about xorg.conf? | 06:05 |
| HackNewton | Hay guys anyone knows commands fors for transfering files over ftp server | 06:05 |
| em | yes | 06:06 |
| Darael | em: You may no longer have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf but that's because the X server autodetects config. It still reads xorg.conf if it's present. | 06:06 |
| HackNewton | pikkie, can you tell your problem in detail please i was not attending | 06:06 |
| andrewh192 | em: was wondering how that might work | 06:06 |
| em | Darael: between Hardy and Intrepid it changed. Even if you do make your own xorg.conf it no longer works the same way as it used to. | 06:07 |
| saliak | I'm using a shell script to call a program. one of my arguments is a string (so ./foo -a "blah blah blah"). how would i include that in a shell script variable? my specific issue is at http://pastebin.com/vbWNtWny for some reason the first one doesn't work | 06:07 |
| pikkie | HackNewton i can create new folders on ubuntu server share but not rename them and i need to do that. only from one laptop in the office. | 06:07 |
| andrewh192 | em: or what command that would be... because i am having trouble with uploading stuff to another site and its rather large, and i already have most of what i need on another server.. | 06:07 |
| pikkie | it runs vista | 06:07 |
| introuble | rww Darael the install crashed. kubuntu | 06:07 |
| pikkie | on the laptop | 06:07 |
| introuble | ... | 06:07 |
| andrewh192 | em: was wondering if there was a way i could get the two servers to connect to each other, me being the mid-point, and i could just transfer it that way.. | 06:07 |
| HackNewton | pikkie, did you share ownership with other users ? | 06:08 |
| Darael | em: I've been using xorg.conf for several releases since Hardy on my desktop (NVidia binary drivers, doncha know) and I assure you, I haven't encountered any major changes to its function beyond less and less of it being necessary. | 06:08 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, there is a command named ftp try to use it | 06:08 |
| pikkie | the share belongs to nobody:nogroup and everybody else can read write and execute in that share | 06:08 |
| Defectz | Hello, is this the correct channel for help with ubuntu Server? | 06:09 |
| rww | Defectz: Here or #ubuntu-server are fine. | 06:09 |
| Defectz | ok, thanks | 06:09 |
| em | Darael: with Hardy I was able to put in some settings in xorg.conf that made my logitech marble mouse rollerball mouse have the ability to scroll and then in intrepid, when you put the exact same thing into xorg.conf nothing happened. | 06:09 |
| HackNewton | pikkie, okay. can you please tell which command you are using to rename your file | 06:09 |
| Darael | em: So X was updated. This happens, in software. The fact that directives for one mouse changed their function does not imply, as you appear to be suggesting, that the entirety of xorg.conf changed the way it works. | 06:10 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, seems like ftp command can be used for your requirement | 06:10 |
| pikkie | HackNewton, i am trying to do the renaming of the file from a Vista pc over the network. not on the server directly. | 06:10 |
| em | Darael: You have convinced me that you are correct. | 06:11 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: ok, so i am looking at a website that goes over the commands and stuff, but was wondering if u could give me like a example of the command line that i would use | 06:12 |
| andrewh192 | to connect to the first server | 06:12 |
| em | Nevertheless my Logitech Marble Mouse Rollerball was never fully functional ever again after that. | 06:12 |
| HackNewton | pikkie, yes there is problem you can not change the file . means you dont have write permission if you dont directly connect to server you have only readonly permission even if you have created it ! so you have to connect to server first to access it | 06:14 |

| Defectz | Hello all, so I have a question about Ubuntu server, I Downloaded ubuntu Server 64 bit v11.04 and i burned it onto a dvd-r disk to install on my other computer. So it says to put in the cd, restart your computer, and follow the instructions on my screen. I did this but there is no instructions only something saying Solinux 4.01, copyright ect. What do i do now? | 06:15 |
| em | Defectz: trololol | 06:15 |
| HackNewton | andrewh192, will i never used that command but will try to use it | 06:16 |
| pikkie | HackNewton, when i first connected to the server share i was asked for the passwd, and then ticked the save passwd block. Now it does not ask for the passwd although the share is accessible, and i cannot disconnect to re-enter the passwd. there is no option for that. how do i disconnect, it is not a mapped drive that i can do that. it appears under the network space | 06:16 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: i sorta got it figured out | 06:16 |
| Defectz | can no one help me? | 06:16 |
| andrewh192 | HackNewton: its going to take i think a little hit and miss to figure it out more | 06:16 |
| andrewh192 | Defectz: i am willing to help ya, but i bet i prolly don't know what ur gonna want help with.. | 06:17 |
| Wulf | Defectz: "solinux"? | 06:17 |
| rww | Wulf: probably isolinux | 06:17 |
| HackNewton | well if you want i can send you email about whole information regarding ftp command | 06:17 |
| Wulf | Defectz: make a screenshot (with your digicam) | 06:17 |
| Wulf | rww: hmm. I thought about syslinux | 06:17 |
| Defectz | Its one line | 06:17 |
| Defectz | on a screen | 06:18 |
| Defectz | similar to cmd prompt | 06:18 |
| rww | Wulf: or that. I forget which one Ubuntu ISOs use. | 06:18 |
| Wulf | Defectz: maybe something went wrong during install. Can you install again? | 06:19 |
| pikkie | does anybody else have a solution that i can try since HackNewton left | 06:19 |
| em | oh i thought this guy was making up a story to troll us | 06:20 |
| Defectz | wulf: should i just hold the power button and force the computer off? Any key i press doesnt do anything | 06:20 |
| Wulf | Defectz: yeah | 06:20 |
| bobweaver | Wulf, can you do a ctrl_alt_f2 then a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:21 |
| Wulf | bobweaver: no. | 06:22 |
| bobweaver | Wulf, ctrl+alt+f2 nothing ? | 06:23 |
| bobweaver | then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:23 |

| Defectz | hey, im currently in the setup of ubuntu server and its asking me to select which network interface i want to use, i have a wireless usb adapter that it detects but it requires software to use, is it still ok to use that one? | 06:38 |
| Wulf | Defectz: do you also have wired? | 06:38 |
| Defectz | no | 06:38 |
| Wulf | then you'll have to use wireless I guess | 06:39 |
| Wulf | or you install everything from cdrom and add wireless later | 06:39 |
| Defectz | can i change to lan? | 06:39 |
| Defectz | wired | 06:39 |

This is problematic because I'm trying to do a long network file transfer on it... Any ideas what might be causing this OR how to hack around the problem, by e.g. mimicking user behaviour with a script or something like that? | 07:12 |
| HackNewton | introuble, hmm .... try to wait for another 15 mins ... if it continue .. then its not so big reason to worry ! | 07:13 |

| workflow | bazhang, in my case /etc/apt/sources.list just empty, where to get this list? | 07:49 |
| Wouter_ | I don't really know what the correct procedure here is, so i hope i wont offend anyone with this: I was wondering if anyone could help me with a ubuntu issue, i'm fairly capable at linux but this has me bogling a little bit. I have a Nvidia Mediashield Raid array in my Asrock ION mobo, been using it with 2 x 2TB in mirror raid. I accidentally killed one of the drives with an failed OpenElec instalation (wanted to try it) and now my ra | 07:50 |
| FishFace | LegendCEO: How current? I installed 10.10 in January and upgraded to 11.04 after that. | 07:50 |
| Wouter_ | When i set my raid array to 'Rebuild' it said that i should boot in to an OS capable of rebuilding, i thought for sure that ubuntu would be fine with it. But now when it boots it goes directly to a busy box , and the recovery console show's that it cant find /dev/randomsymbolsattatchedtomyraidarray. | 07:50 |
| Wouter_ | Any idea how i can rebuild my raid ? | 07:50 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: fakeraid, you're just onto a downer from the start | 07:51 |
| LegendCEO | FishFace. I haven't installed one yet. Wanted to be sure first. I'll be downloading the 11.04 x64 build. | 07:51 |
| neo10101 | hi! | 07:51 |
| FishFace | LegendCEO: Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) 8250e Triple-Core Processor, MMX, 3DNow (3 CPUs), ~1.9GHz | 07:51 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia thanks :) | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: has the array ever worked wth Linux | 07:51 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia yes, perfectly | 07:51 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: which versions of Linux | 07:51 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia 11.04 | 07:52 |
| LegendCEO | And it is using all cores? Works for me! | 07:52 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia 64bit | 07:52 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: ok - so what happened to stop it working | 07:52 |
| Ileden | Wouter_: btw that's is the correct procedure for asking a question here - just asking it. | 07:52 |
| FishFace | LegendCEO: Yep :) | 07:52 |
| LegendCEO | Beautiful! I | 07:52 |
| LegendCEO | 'll head over and get it. Thanks! | 07:52 |
| FishFace | No prob | 07:52 |

| FishFace | LOL | 07:53 |

| Wouter_ | @ikonia I tried installing a different linux distribution together with ubuntu and it killed one of the drives, totally reformatted, installer was still in beta apparently | 07:53 |
| LegendCEO | Never been on irc before. This is interesting. | 07:53 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: ok, so your raid array will have been corrupted on both mirrors | 07:53 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia I was expecting there to be a next option "select your partition" but no.. it just started formatting the first drive, awsome -.- | 07:53 |
| LegendCEO | Ok, I'm off to go download. thanks for the help! | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: your raid array data has been ruined then | 07:54 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia i booted into a linux distro and it said one of the drives is still full of data tho | 07:54 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia live cd | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: I'm sure it is, but your meta data will have been destroyed | 07:55 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: (or changed to represent the ruined data to be more exact) | 07:55 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia aha, so reformat and start over? | 07:55 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: pretty much, I would strongly advise you against using fake raid, but that is your decision | 07:55 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia i'm using the Nvidia bios raid, is that considered fakeraid? | 07:56 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: yes | 07:56 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia i was thinking of installing windows 7 onto an usb drive and installing the nvraid tool to rebuild the raid array, but that seems prity pointless now then ? | 07:56 |
| aum | is there any php room | 07:57 |
| csdserver | what would be the format of a bash script that touch's a file, then saves sequential commands to a file? | 07:57 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: in my opinion, yes, but your of course welcome to try it | 07:57 |
| ikonia | aum: ##php | 07:57 |
| ikonia | csdserver: try in ##bash for scripting help | 07:57 |
| ikonia | csdserver: but basically it would be just that, touch a file then redirect subsiquent commands to that file | 07:57 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia hm bah | 07:58 |
| ikonia | csdserver: look at the commands "script" and "tee" | 07:58 |
| aum | thank you | 07:58 |
| llutz_ | csdserver: or simply use "script" | 07:58 |
| llutz_ | oops, to slow | 07:58 |
| csdserver | thank you =) | 07:58 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia fakeraid seems quite pointless, i got the second drive to avoid these things :P | 07:58 |

| ikonia | Wouter_: or, of course you can buy a true hardware raid card | 07:59 |
| sgo11 | hi, if both directories have the exact same contents and in the same type of partition, by using du -s in the same OS (same PC, run in same time). Will the results of du in the two dir be difference? is this possible? | 08:00 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia: software raid sounds good | 08:00 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: it's excellent if you're just using linux | 08:00 |
| ikonia | sgo11: then can differ slightly | 08:01 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia Only linux on that machine, mediacentre. | 08:01 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, yeah, that is what I got. one is 5493312. and another one is 5493264. why? | 08:01 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: software raid will be a really good option for you | 08:01 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia thank you for all the help, i'll find some how-to on that :) | 08:02 |
| ikonia | sgo11: depends where the files are positioned in terms of blocks on the disk, there can be a very slight difference | 08:02 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, basically, I used rsync to backup my directory. the results show different size. I am just afraid if I miss anything. | 08:02 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, one is in my local harddrive. another one is in external harddrive connected through usb. both are ext4. | 08:03 |
| ikonia | sgo11: so the two directories are 1.) source 2.) rsync - not two identical copies, but an rsync copy | 08:03 |
| Ileden | Hi! I'm trying to do a long SMB to SMB network transfer on a computer running xubuntu, but I'm experiencing a VERY weird problem. My computer loses its network connection after random amount (~20min) of inactivity, and any user activity (even moving mouse) brings it instantly back up. Any ideas what might be causing this OR how to hack around the problem? (Mimicking user behaviour with xdotool didn't seem to work.) | 08:03 |
| ikonia | sgo11: are both hard disks using the same sector and block size ? | 08:03 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, i have no ideas. how to check? I created them with ubuntu parition tools. | 08:03 |
| Ileden | Aslo, there doesn't seem to be any BIOS option related to this. | 08:03 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia; small question, any idea how i could combine that with an XBMC live build ? Install the xbmc live on one drive and install the software raid later, let the bios just see it as 2 drives? | 08:03 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: hang on - is this for ubuntu ? | 08:04 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, one is created during ubuntu installation. another one is created by gparted. I didn't change any options. | 08:04 |
| ikonia | sgo11: quick answer, do a "du -h" on both directories are they the same | 08:04 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia yes | 08:04 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: Wouter_ then why are you talking about xmbc live which is it's own OS | 08:05 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, yeah. du -sh will show 5.3G. they are only slightly different. | 08:05 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia, i'm not using the xbmc build but a build based on ubuntu :) | 08:05 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia from xbmcfreak.nl | 08:06 |
| zonema | hi all.. anyone who can tell me how to change the color in konsole "jacob@desktop:~/map" and not the output of konsole? | 08:06 |

| tk` | can someone help me setup kdump on ubuntu | 08:07 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia kind of ubuntu without the windowmanager to keep it lightweight (just an 1.6 atom with vdpau) | 08:07 |
| ikonia | sgo11: how slightly in du -hs | 08:07 |
| ikonia | Wouter_: I suggest you contact them for support then as I don't support peoples custom ubuntu distros | 08:07 |
| iceroot | what is the common way to encrypt a raid1 (md0). encrypting sda1 and sdb1 and then build the raid? or build md0 and then encrypt md0? what is better for performance and when a disc is failing? is encrypting md0 the better way? | 08:07 |
| tk` | i have compiled the kernel with required config. some reason kdump doesnt start on panic | 08:07 |
| ikonia | iceroot: the encyption should be done on the filesystem - not the device | 08:07 |
| ikonia | tk`: we don't support custom kernels | 08:08 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, I mean du -sh will show the same size. but du -s will show slightly different result as what I posted. | 08:08 |
| tk` | i meant i hv to enable kexec etc for kdump | 08:08 |
| ikonia | sgo11: then I'd be content it works | 08:08 |
| r_avalon | zonema: best i can tell you is to go to edit>preferences>colors and just start testing which color goes where | 08:08 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia seems fair, but i'll try it in ubuntu first :) | 08:08 |
| ikonia | tk`: we don't support custom kernels | 08:08 |
| iceroot | ikonia: so you mean md0? | 08:08 |
| ikonia | iceroot: yes | 08:08 |
| Wouter_ | @ikonia anyway thanks =) | 08:08 |
| ikonia | iceroot: you can do it on devices, but on my experience that is a bad idea | 08:08 |
| iceroot | ikonia: so mdadm is syncing the crypted fs to both devices | 08:08 |
| tk` | so u mean cant talk about it here? | 08:09 |
| zonema | r_avalon: okay, i will try that way | 08:09 |
| ikonia | iceroot: well, no, as if you're "using it" it's unencypted | 08:09 |
| === Cain` is now known as Cain | ||
| ikonia | iceroot: it's only encypted when you're not using it, so if someone tried to use it without the encyption key it would be garbage | 08:09 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, thanks. but why are the sizes different? low level stuff? :) | 08:09 |
| ikonia | sgo11: yes, as I suggest slightly different block sizes, head sizes etc etc. | 08:09 |
| ikonia | sgo11: it's quite unusual these days but can happen | 08:10 |
| tk` | is there an ubuntu kernel irc channel? | 08:10 |
| iceroot | ikonia: ok, so in the first step i will build my sw-raid1 and after then i will encrypt md0. thank you | 08:10 |
| sgo11 | ikonia, ok. sure. thanks. | 08:10 |
| ikonia | iceroot: in my opinion, I think that's a good config | 08:11 |

| iceroot | ikonia: i hope so. its an intel atom with 2 external usb drives which will be the raid1. i hope the performance will be ok on that setup | 08:11 |
| ikonia | whowantstolivefo: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B12166_01/web/B10470_01/appa.htm | 08:12 |
| ikonia | iceroot: usb + raid mirror = bottleneck | 08:12 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i would be happy about 20MByte/s (with no raid/encrypt its about 33MByte/s) | 08:12 |
| iceroot | ikonia: yes | 08:12 |
| ikonia | iceroot: I'm sure you'll get acceptale throughput though | 08:12 |
| ikonia | acceptable | 08:12 |
| iceroot | ikonia: but hardware-raid is to expensive and (e)sata is not possible on that board | 08:13 |

| llutz_ | introuble: what does that command actually give you? | 09:14 |
| introuble | llutz ok. tell me how to format /dev/sda6 and make it swap | 09:15 |
| wildcard- | hey all, i have an ubuntu test system in vmware but i gave it little too less space i noticed, now i enlarged the hdd in vmware and want to extend the partiotion with gparted. but i cant extend it since the swap is at the end of the partition. will it cause problems when i delete the extendet swap partiotion, then resize the root and add the swap again at the end ? | 09:15 |
| llutz_ | introuble: sudo blkid | grep swap then "sudo mkswap /dev/sdXY" | 09:15 |
| introuble | llutz will that formate it too? | 09:16 |
| llutz_ | introuble: "sudo mkswap /dev/sda6" in your case. btw: you don't "format" anything since ages, you might create filesystems or a swap-signature in this case | 09:16 |
| introuble | llutz why do you think iam getting errors at 23% of wiping swap data. repeatedly | 09:18 |
| llutz_ | introuble: diskerror? no idea | 09:19 |

| introuble | llutz . | 09:23 |
| skarufue | wildcard-: no then you can just resize. but you will need to change the fstab in your installed system to point to the new swap | 09:25 |
| skarufue | wildcard-: for that you just mount your / drive into your livecd and then you want to edit /etc/fstab | 09:25 |
| skarufue | wildcard-: then you look for a line like this: UUID=d9942c12-e674-4fa7-ba54-8d71ed702b2c none swap sw 0 0. and just replace the UUID=rtgseftgs part with the path to your new swap partition | 09:28 |

| SuperLag | Why does using Natty in classic mode look like a Gnome UI from 10 years ago? | 11:20 |
| SuperLag | the previous version of Ubuntu didn't look this bad | 11:20 |
| SuperLag | what gives? | 11:20 |
| MK`` | is the top panel grey with low-res icons? | 11:20 |
| Rouse | http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/ | 11:20 |
| SuperLag | MK``: yeah | 11:20 |
| szal | SuperLag: Gnome 2 is almost that old | 11:21 |
| MK`` | that's a bug, it's not loading your theme | 11:21 |
| MK`` | that's the default GTK+ theme | 11:21 |
| SuperLag | szal: but I'm using the default UI with 10.10, and it's interface is even better than Natty in classic mode | 11:21 |
| Darael | SuperLag: It looks just like Maverick did to me. That sounds like your gnome-settings-daemon isn't running. I don't know why that's happened, but it should be fixed if you open the appearences dialog. | 11:21 |
| Rouse | http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/ | 11:21 |
| Rouse | http://paste.ubuntu.com/644716/ | 11:24 |
| SuperLag | Darael: I just opened Appearance and selected Ambiance, and the body of the windows changed, but the top menu bar looks the same. I'll see how it works when I restart the UI | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Rouse: at least summarize the paste | 11:24 |
| SuperLag | Second question... other than doing rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/ and apt-get autoclean... is there anything you guys would recommend for saving space on an Ubuntu install? (this is a VM on a laptop, 12GB space total) | 11:25 |
| MK`` | SuperLag I have the same issue, I can't seem to fix it. Whenever I restart, it's seemingly 50/50 whether it loads my theme or not. | 11:25 |
| SuperLag | MK``: hmm... | 11:25 |
| SuperLag | let me change that.... I see a mistake | 11:26 |
| SuperLag | Second question... other than doing rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/* and apt-get autoclean... is there anything you guys would recommend for saving space on an Ubuntu install? (this is a VM on a laptop, 12GB space total) | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | MK``: seen posts on askubuntu.com about it | 11:26 |
| SuperLag | :) | 11:26 |
| AMethyst | how's it going ya'll? | 11:26 |
| MK`` | yeah I checked. Nothing seemed to help me. I've had a ton of aesthetic problems since I upgraded heh. However, performance is mostly up | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: be carefull with that rm command | 11:27 |
| SuperLag | MK``: for what it's worth... mine is a clean install. No upgrading here. | 11:27 |
| AMethyst | rm -rf / | 11:27 |
| SuperLag | Dr_Willis: I knew what I meant, just missed the * on the end. That's why I corrected it. :) | 11:27 |
| Darael | SuperLag: You don't need to rm /var/cache/apt/archives - just apt-get clean instead of apt-get autoclean. Other than that, there's a tool you can use to bzip your executables to make them smaller... if I can remember what it is. | 11:27 |
| MK`` | Ahh. I assumed it was due to some broken config when I upgraded | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: id just use the apt commands | 11:27 |
| SuperLag | Dr_Willis: I found localepurge, as well. Got rid of the extra language files | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | SuperLag: not any manual rm commands | 11:28 |
| AMethyst | where do i get a channel list for freenode? | 11:29 |
| jamis_s | Ping : you still there? | 11:29 |
| Darael | AMethyst: Said list is /massive/, but on most IRC clients you could /list | 11:29 |
| AMethyst | ah duh thanks it's been a while :) | 11:29 |
| SuperLag | AMethyst: if you do /list, you'll likely get kicked off the network, for a flood. But there's an /alis, or something like it, with helps. | 11:29 |
| Darael | AMethyst: If you're looking for a channel, look at alis: /msg alis list <pattern> | 11:30 |
| SuperLag | AMethyst: yeah, what Darael said! ^^^ | 11:30 |
| AMethyst | thanks | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !alis | 11:30 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 11:30 |
| AMethyst | anyone going to linuxcon? | 11:30 |
| SuperLag | wow, this UI is horrid :/ | 11:30 |
| SuperLag | maybe I should have stuck with Maverick on the laptop :) | 11:31 |
| Dr_Willis | so change it. :) | 11:31 |

| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 11:31 |
| jami_s | Ping : you still there? | 11:31 |
| SuperLag | Dr_Willis: This is a laptop that caps at 4GB of RAM, and doesn't have the juice for Unity. I'm also running Ubuntu in a VM, in this case. | 11:32 |
| Wouter_ | i'm using the live cd to install ubuntu with a software raid configuration, everything is partitioned as i want it at the moment (also checked with gparted) and i have a partition on both disks with the flag boot_grub (2x 2TB by the way) but at the step 'installing grub' and 'installing lilo' i get the message that the setup failed. I've searched on 20 forum's for an awnser b ut i cant figure out why, anyone any idea ?=) | 11:32 |
| Darael | Dr_Willis: SuperLag was mostly complaining about classic in Natty having issues with the theming failing. | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | unity disent work right for me on my desktop | 11:33 |
| Darael | Wouter_: For software raid, you'd have an easier time using the alternate cd. Unfortunately I can't actually suggest a fix, but I thought I'd get that suggestion out of the way. | 11:33 |
| SuperLag | Darael: Dr_Willis: after enabling Ambiance, this looks like a mutation of Ubuntu and Fedora. | 11:33 |
| Wouter_ | @Darael thanks for the tip anyway :) | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | i always cistomize my themes. | 11:34 |
| Darael | SuperLag: Talking of Classic: You won't be able to use Gnome2 from Oneiric in any case: It's Gnome3, with what that implies: Gnome Shell. | 11:34 |
| Infernet | kubuntu, a very nice distro | 11:34 |
| SuperLag | Darael: I thought it was Unity or nothing? | 11:35 |
| Darael | SuperLag: Nope, Gnome3 is to be available. Admittedly last time I tried it on my Oneiric box gnome-shell wouldn't start, but I understand that's fixed now. There's probably a different bug breaking it - that's alpha releases for you. | 11:36 |
| Wouter_ | q:Does ubuntu need an /boot partition for the grub to be installed in software raid? | 11:37 |
| Darael | SuperLag: It may be the case that only Unity is installed by default, but Gnome3 was definitely to be supported. And even if it wasn't, it'd be in the repos. They're good like that. | 11:37 |

I kept a script running on terminal, increasing a number every 1 minute, and at the time the computer dropped off the network, the script ALSO halted, and resumed after i moved the mouse. Any idea whatsoever what this could be? I'm flabbergasted! | 11:37 |

| SuperLag | that doesn't sound like a software issue at all | 11:38 |

| Ileden | SuperLag: yeah... thats the weirdest problem I've seen! Also, I found no bios options relevant to that. | 11:39 |
| Wouter_ | @Darael Is the alternate cd the text based installer? im using that one.. | 11:39 |
| Darael | dli: I haven't a clue. It's been a few days since I booted my Oneiric box. | 11:39 |
| _et | Hi, just wondering if I can safely remove the contents of /usr/share/locale except "en" .. | 11:39 |
| SuperLag | _et: apt-get install localepurge | 11:40 |

| _et | SuperLag: I even tried bleachbit | 11:40 |
| Darael | Wouter_: It is, yes. I misunderstood because you said the live CD which is the one with a desktop session. | 11:41 |
| Wouter_ | @Darael thanks | 11:41 |
| SuperLag | what the... UGH | 11:41 |
| SuperLag | Restarted the VM, and it looks like the theming is fine, but then it reverts to this ugly crap! | 11:42 |

| Dr_Willis | SinarShebl: its too new a feature to even predict. do you really need the 2 video stuff? brand new 'things' are always going to be less supported. but a laptop thats been out for 6mo. should work well. | 12:33 |
| Wouter_ | I have mounted my software raid in the Ubuntu Live CD and i'm trying to install Grub to one of the drives. (sudo grub-install /dev/sda) gives me : (/usr/bin/grub-probe : error : cannot stat 'aufs'). Anyone can help me with this ? | 12:33 |
| SinarShebl | Dr_williis: actually I don't need it, but it's possible to disable it ? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | SinarShebl: no idea | 12:35 |
| holyguyver | I need to kill -9 synaptic, how do I find it's ID? | 12:35 |
| bazhang | SinarShebl, did you read the post I linked you? | 12:35 |
| Wouter_ | Or: Anyone know how to set up grub to an software raid? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | SinarShebl: eventually it should work. but that may be 6mo from now | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | the whole 2 gpu idea. just seems a bit of a cludge. | 12:36 |
| SinarShebl | bazhang: I had already read it | 12:36 |
| Adam__ | I am having this error when I try to log onto ubutnu Error: cannot find GRLDR in all drive. CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart | 12:37 |
| bazhang | Adam__, a wubi install? | 12:38 |
| Adam__ | yes | 12:38 |
| s7r | what is the difference between ubuntu server and desktop? | 12:39 |
| aeon-ltd | s7r: no gui | 12:39 |
| blinkyb | hi. please browsing on ubuntu is becoming extremely slow! what is that all about? i checked ram, nothing wrong. last week it was just fine. help please. | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | SinarShebl: for myself. i wont buy a laptop with ati video at all... | 12:39 |
| aeon-ltd | s7r: server is just a barebones desktop version, with no gui applications but pretty much the same set of basic applications (cli) | 12:39 |
| s7r | thanks | 12:40 |
| tomodachi | blinkyb: firefox usually is slow in linux, try google chrome | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | different default kernel i think also | 12:40 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: every site? | 12:40 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, yes, every site. i never had that problem last week! | 12:41 |
| aeon-ltd | tomodachi: i concur, rendering times are only ms out, not large enough usually | 12:41 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: do you have windows to check it's linux only? | 12:41 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, what do you mean? | 12:41 |
| tomodachi | if its the initial load time of a page | 12:41 |
| tomodachi | it can be your dns | 12:41 |
| tomodachi | try switching or enabling a caching local dns | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:41 |
| odium | what is oneiric? | 12:42 |
| Adam__ | bazhang, yes | 12:42 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: can you boot into windows, then use a browser to check it's slow there too | 12:42 |
| tomodachi | odium: next release of ubuntu | 12:42 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, am just running linux here. | 12:42 |
| odium | if I'm using 11.4 but downloading the kernel to compile should I get oneiric or natty? | 12:42 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: check if your internet speed supplied hasn't changed either http://www.speedtest.net/ | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | odium: why are you messing with the kernel ata all? | 12:43 |
| odium | what?! | 12:43 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=455078&page=2 Adam__ here's a thread on that, mixed results | 12:43 |
| AlexDevilLX | Hi all | 12:43 |
| odium | are you kidding me? | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | !oneiric | odium | 12:43 |
| ubottu | odium: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | no... | 12:43 |
| odium | it's a bloat?! | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | !kernel | 12:43 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 12:43 |
| odium | it's linux | 12:43 |
| odium | linux <> bloat | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | vague terms bloat.. | 12:43 |
| odium | ok Dr. Willis, I am patching it | 12:44 |
| bazhang | odium, actual ubuntu support question? | 12:44 |
| odium | so it will use a logitech unifying receiver | 12:44 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, http://www.speedtest.net/result/1386750899.png | 12:44 |
| odium | bazhang, no, I was curious about onieric or whatever | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm. those universial usb dongle for mice/keybord? mine works here. | 12:45 |
| odium | and you tell me not to compile my own kernel | 12:45 |
| odium | ok, I have one, how do I make ubuntu not update my kernel automatically? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | i asked why.. go do what you want | 12:45 |
| odium | if I'm using git to maintain a current release | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !pin | 12:45 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 12:45 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: wireless? | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj | bloat odium , what's bloat in this day and age of mulitigig RAM and terbyte HDDS and qudcore processors | 12:46 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, wireless. as I told you, never had a problem last week. one more thing, sometimes i use my brother's laptop, which runs ubuntu 10.04 as well, browsing is faster to the point where you can feel the difference. | 12:47 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: anything backgrounding? such as downloads, torrents? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | blinkyb: as a test try a live cd. see if its faster/slower/same | 12:48 |
| blinkyb | aeon-ltd, nothing. just browsing the internet in multiple tabs | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | blinkyb: as a test try a different distro livecd. for all we know the neighbors microwave could be causeing interfearance | 12:49 |
| aeon-ltd | blinkyb: i'd go with Dr_Willis's plan or tomodachi's idea of different browser or reinstall firefox; not much to do if nothing siginificant changed | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | the airwaves are getting croweded | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | try different channel on router also. most like to default to the same channels it seems | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 12:51 |
| AlexDevilLX | Can i ask questions here? | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | AlexDevilLX, as kaway | 12:53 |
| bazhang | AlexDevilLX, about ubuntu, sure | 12:53 |
| AlexDevilLX | Because i was banned on Russian Ubuntu Chanel for asking | 12:54 |
| blinkyb | Dr_Willis & aeon-ltd, I'm now using Chromuim Web Browser and it is WAY TOO FAST! Still I prefer firefox, is there anyway I could speed that up? | 12:54 |
| AlexDevilLX | So anyway, I have recently installed Ubuntu and what things i should learn? | 12:55 |
| bazhang | !manual | AlexDevilLX | 12:55 |
| ubottu | AlexDevilLX: 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/ | 12:55 |

| freshone | see i installed wine now play on linux shows a vice city GTa icon i want to proceed further | 13:21 |
| th0r | AlexDevilLX: those panel indicators can present an appreciate load to the system | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | conky is more configurable and has been zaround for ages | 13:21 |
| freshone | the options it gives are: confifure wine registry editor | 13:21 |

| th0r | AlexDevilLX: cpu, memory, swap sometimes. The idea is that the system monitor itself should be as invisible as possible. | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | AlexDevilLX: not everyone uses gnome also. conly works with most every wm out. | 13:22 |
| szal | barf: poke the author and tell them to also clear up typos | 13:22 |

| szal | AlexDevilLX: beware? | 13:24 |
| AlexDevilLX | freshone: Try Youtube tutorials | 13:24 |
| th0r | AlexDevilLX: you might also look at gkrellm as an alternative | 13:24 |
| freshone | so i go on a web site? wine?hq | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | AlexDevilLX: system will use swap if needed. dont worry about it | 13:24 |
| sudeep | hi, i have dell studio 15 and ubuntu natty narhewal installed, my sound is not working at all, kindly help me in this | 13:24 |

| BluesKaj | triple, open a terminal and type alsamixer , set the volumes there . make sure none are Muted MM | 13:24 |
| AlexDevilLX | Dr_Willis: I didnt make SWAP file and disk | 13:25 |
| bazhang | sudeep, checked alsamixer is not muted anywhere? | 13:25 |
| mgj | heh, sad and funny that so much work has gone into audio.... pulsaudio, gstreamer, etc etc, but people still rely on alsamixer =) | 13:25 |
| freshone | ok | 13:25 |
| freshone | thanks | 13:25 |
| sipior | AlexDevilLX: you'll want at least a swap file, if not a dedicated partition. | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | AlexDevilLX: hope you dont plan on suspending to disk either.. | 13:25 |
| barf | szal: what can be put on one line? | 13:26 |
| sudeep | bazhang , ok i will check | 13:26 |
| barf | I but everything but makeinfo ncurses on one line and it appeared to install just fine. | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | mgj, pulseaudio is ahinderance to audio settings in alot of cases , some consider it redunadant and not progressive at all | 13:26 |
| szal | barf: exactly | 13:26 |
| AlexDevilLX | SWAP = pagefile in Windows? | 13:26 |
| sipior | AlexDevilLX: yes, more or less. | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !swap | 13:27 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 13:27 |

| AlexDevilLX | and Linux_20? | 13:29 |
| bazhang | AlexDevilLX, there are not really ubuntu specific questions. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !xen | 13:31 |
| ubottu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 13:31 |

| bazhang | andrej4k, whats the real question | 13:31 |
| AlexDevilLX | !linux_20 | 13:31 |
| bazhang | AlexDevilLX, then ask a specific question. | 13:31 |
| AlexDevilLX | Whats linux_20 in boot | 13:32 |

| Mandrew | hi how do i purge unity from 11.04? | 13:32 |
| AlexDevilLX | bazhang: because i'm learning linux ;)_ | 13:33 |
| bazhang | Mandrew, installing the gnome 3 session for natty will do that | 13:33 |
| bazhang | AlexDevilLX, then ask ##linux | 13:33 |
| AlexDevilLX | bazhang: ok | 13:33 |
| Mandrew | bazhang, i really dont want to have gnom3 on it | 13:33 |
| Mandrew | gnome3* | 13:34 |
| bazhang | Mandrew, no idea why you need to purge it then, just choose classic if you dont like it | 13:34 |
| AlexDevilLX | bazhang purge command is full deleting of something? | 13:35 |
| andrej4k | bazhang: Well, XP borked my partition table, parted doesn't see any partition, fdisk and testdisk do. How can I correect the situation? | 13:35 |
| Mandrew | bazhang, i just dont really want it in the distro taking up space | 13:35 |
| AlexDevilLX | bazhang: package manager? | 13:35 |
| bazhang | AlexDevilLX, he meant get rid of, not purge in apt-get meaning | 13:35 |
| AlexDevilLX | andrej4k, restore grub | 13:35 |
| AlexDevilLX | Mandrew: Use Classic Ubuntu, it's cool | 13:36 |
| andrej4k | AlexDeviLX: you think, just bu restoring grub the partition will be ok? | 13:36 |
| sudeep | bazhang , how to check whether alsamixer is muted or not ? | 13:36 |
| AlexDevilLX | year | 13:37 |

| samineru | spacebug: -a preserves a lot of unnecessary metadata, I'd prefer not to use it. Though that may be causing it to see them as different files...that might be it! | 13:49 |
| surfdue | sipior, whats happening is it is showing the ^H but it does actually backspace, example when I do TAB it does not show the tab result but it does actually perform the tab. | 13:49 |

| ronqbc | i did | 15:11 |
| sudeep | Dr_Willis yes i googled , but couldnt find solution, i think this is a known issue , is there some kind of procedure to fix this up ? | 15:11 |
| sudokill | ronqbc, settings preferences sound, choose channel msg highligh and browse for the osund file to use it | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sudeep: try the alpha release. it may be fixed in it. if you are lucky. | 15:12 |

| sudeep | Dr_Willis, hmm ok | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sudeep: if it does work. then that would imply a newer alsa version might be the fix | 15:12 |

| sudokill | ronqbc, anyway im off | 15:20 |
| ikonia | billy2007: the eay to way to manage it is, as Dr_Willis suggested, install the tool "gparted" it's a very simple gui tool | 15:21 |
| billy2007 | Dr_Willis, surely theres a way to change the name with the basic install | 15:21 |
| bob_ | szal, hey there! I let me try the uninstall. | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | bob_, switch to a tty (ctrl-alt-f2), log in, then type "jockey-text -a" and press enter | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | takes me 20 sec to chnge it via gparted | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | or less... | 15:21 |
| ikonia | billy2007: there are many ways but the easy way would be to install the gparted gui, it's straight forward and self explanitory | 15:21 |
| billy2007 | Dr_Willis, a usb flash drive is how the computer reconizes it but its an sd card in a usb dongle | 15:22 |

| Baltazaar | SockPants, is it not Nautilus you use as a file browser? | 16:25 |

| rhin0 | my set up may be different I don't have two ports the same dbugger -- try swapping monitors / port / screen series about in the monitor preferences tool | 16:26 |

| dbugger | I dont want to get in the details about it, but belive me, if it was possible, I would. Its clearly simplier to just move them :P | 16:27 |
| SockPants | Baltazaar: thanks :) | 16:28 |
| roasted | If I'm running an Ubuntu server with 2 NICs and DHCP-server, would both NICs hand out IPs? | 16:29 |
| ikonia | roasted: you can configure DHCP to bind to one/many interfaces | 16:29 |
| ikonia | roasted: be careful though if you are giving out different IP ranges as to that your nics are confiugred on | 16:29 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, you choose what nic to use in dhcpd.conf | 16:30 |
| ikonia | roasted: it's not in dhcpd.conf it's actually an argument passed to dhcpd at startup | 16:31 |
| roasted | ikonia, yeah that's what I'm thinking. I was going to have the server kick out one range on NIC1 and another range on NIC2, with each range being VLAN'd | 16:31 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, by default it listens to the first in your ethX list I think | 16:31 |
| ikonia | roasted: so you'll need to define two ranges | 16:31 |
| roasted | ikonia, I have two labs in question, each 30 systems, so I'd like to have NIC1 give out a certain range to Lab A and NIC2 to handle Lab B | 16:31 |
| ikonia | Baltazaar: the default is it listens on all cards | 16:32 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, ikonia yes if that is what he wants | 16:32 |
| ikonia | roasted: that should be quite straight forward | 16:32 |
| Andy-at-home | guys, whats the software that produces the try\install menu when booting netbook edition? begins withs with a U | 16:32 |
| roasted | ikonia, I was hoping it was, I just figured I'd ask since I never used a multi NIC ubuntu dhcp server. | 16:32 |
| roasted | ikonia, would everything go into the dhcp config file? | 16:32 |
| AlexDevilLX | Hi all here is a problem | 16:32 |
| AlexDevilLX | http://s002.radikal.ru/i200/1107/ff/e6902d1c87ad.jpg | 16:32 |
| Baltazaar | Andy-at-home, netbotin? | 16:32 |
| roasted | unetbootin* | 16:33 |
| roasted | :P | 16:33 |
| Andy-at-home | nah its something else | 16:33 |
| Andy-at-home | ub...? | 16:33 |
| ikonia | roasted: dhcpd despite being dumb will work out which address to give to which interface, eg: the 10.11 range will go out of the card with 10.11.216.1 assigned to it, the 192.168 range will go out of the card with 192.168.24.1 address | 16:33 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, tnx! ;-) | 16:33 |
| AlexDevilLX | Ok no problem | 16:33 |
| roasted | ikonia, oh nice. that's it? I didn't think it would default to the interface assigned into the same scope. | 16:33 |
| roasted | it makes sense now that I think about it though | 16:34 |
| Andy-at-home | ubiquity | 16:34 |
| ikonia | roasted: exactly it can't hand out ranges different to what it's on if that makes sense | 16:34 |
| roasted | ikonia, bingo. that sounds easy to do then. | 16:34 |
| Baltazaar | Andy-at-home, oh :P | 16:34 |
| Andy-at-home | someone should mention that if its install and someone has used universal usb creator that the menu is redundant | 16:34 |
| ikonia | roasted: two ranges defined inthe config, you're done (pretyt much) | 16:34 |
| roasted | ikonia, now, I actually have 4 NICs on this server. I KNOW 1 gigabit NIC would serve 30 clients based on my current setup. Think it'd be worth it to bond the 4 NICs into some sort of redundancy, 2 per lab? | 16:35 |
| Andy-at-home | with persistance anyway | 16:35 |
| llutz | hea | 16:35 |
| roasted | ikonia, so my default idea was 1 NIC per range/VLAN, but that leaves 2 NICs just kinda... sitting there unused, ya know? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | roasted: a dhcp request is minute, you could server 1000's of clients on a 10meg card, no need to bond, you're just going to complicate things | 16:35 |
| Baltazaar | I've really come to enjoy the new Unity thing | 16:35 |
| usermanager | anyone here know any simple cron command that i can use to test out cron service ? | 16:35 |
| roasted | ikonia, this is a thin client lab. not JUST a dhcp server. | 16:35 |
| ikonia | roasted: there is no need to bond | 16:35 |
| roasted | ikonia, it hands out IP addresses and the clients PXE boot to the server, pulling down LTSP images. | 16:36 |
| roasted | ikonia, okay. | 16:36 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, how many clients do you have? | 16:36 |
| roasted | ikonia, just wanted to make sure you got what I was doing, in case the bandwidth load of LTSP would warrant bonding. | 16:36 |
| JR_w | Gnome question maybe someone here can answer: On ArtistX live, how can one change the dark and unreadable (for me) windows on apps like dolphin to something lighter and easily readable? | 16:36 |
| ikonia | roasted: for context I've just had 130 machines built on a 100meg card using pxe | 16:36 |
| roasted | Baltazaar, 60 minimal, upwards of 70 maybe | 16:36 |
| roasted | ikonia, with LTSP? | 16:36 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, no problem then! | 16:36 |
| surfdue | Jaws skipper: damn you roasted him! | 16:36 |
| usermanager | anyone here know any simple cron command that i can use to test out cron service ? | 16:36 |
| ikonia | roasted: that used about %30 of the bandwidth, no not ltsp, a bit lighter, but just to give you context | 16:37 |
| roasted | usermanager, mkdir? touch file? | 16:37 |
| usermanager | roasted what's that | 16:37 |
| roasted | ikonia, I gotcha. But yeah I have 1 gigabit NIC serving 30 now, so branching upwards I know 2x would serve 60, etc. Like I said I just didn't want to miss out on an advantage I might gain from bonding in this situation. | 16:37 |
| roasted | usermanager, mkdir creates a directory, and touch creates a blank file. | 16:37 |
| Baltazaar | usermanager, commands! that shows you if anything happens | 16:37 |
| ikonia | roasted: it will server over 30, I asure you | 16:37 |
| ikonia | roasted: if's more likley your bottleneck will be at the switch rather than your card | 16:38 |
| roasted | usermanager, if you set crontab to mkdir /home/usermanager/test, it should create "test" directory in your home folder | 16:38 |
| roasted | ikonia, yeah, I'm trying to organize things in the closet to be a little more practical, as I want the server/clients on the SAME switch. | 16:38 |
| ikonia | roasted: there will be no advantage to bonding in this example | 16:38 |
| roasted | ikonia, not only that, but the traffic will be vlan'd | 16:38 |
| ikonia | roasted: keep it simple - 1 nic, 1 switch port | 16:38 |
| roasted | ikonia, can you give me an example where I would benefit from bonding? I've never had a *need* for it, so I never used it. | 16:38 |
| ikonia | roasted: you've tried to use it beoffore with terrible results | 16:39 |
| roasted | usermanager, it would just be a simple way to see if crontab is working :P | 16:39 |
| roasted | ikonia, I was also using a guide with 8.10 :P | 16:39 |
| ikonia | before even | 16:39 |
| usermanager | what's the full command that i should type ? | 16:39 |
| ikonia | roasted: 8.10's a great release, just keep in mind it's totally dead now | 16:39 |
| roasted | ikonia, I was reading more about it, and 10.04 was a new setup with bonding entirely. | 16:39 |
| AlexDevilLX | OK | 16:39 |
| roasted | ikonia, no like I didn't realize the guide I Was using was FOR 8.10, I was using it for 10.10 | 16:39 |
| thunder1212 | hi, i am planning to buy ncomputing's x550 series desktop virtualization kit. is it ok ? | 16:39 |
| Baltazaar | usermanager, you have to configure the cron jobs in the crontab | 16:39 |
| roasted | ikonia, I went back to the LTSP chat and spoke to the user who linked me to it, at which point they told me which distro they built the guide for. I had no idea prior. | 16:40 |
| usermanager | just type mkdir /home.......... ? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | roasted: ahhh, I see, | 16:40 |
| roasted | ikonia, I did more reading and 10.04 was very different with bonding than 8.10 was, which may have been where a lot of my issues were. | 16:40 |
| ikonia | !cron > usermanager | 16:40 |
| ubottu | usermanager, please see my private message | 16:40 |
| roasted | ikonia, so that being said, it kind of re-vamped my confidence a little bit to give bonding another try - IF it's beneficial. | 16:40 |
| ikonia | roasted it's actually not different at all, a few very minor differnces | 16:41 |
| roasted | ikonia, yeah, there wasn't too much that was different, but enough that it made me wonder. | 16:41 |
| roasted | ikonia, I mean last time I was trying to edit config files that didn't exist, etc. | 16:41 |
| ikonia | roasted: honestly bonding hasn't changed in a long time | 16:41 |
| roasted | ikonia, so what kind of setup would warrant it to be beneficial from bonding interfaces? | 16:41 |
| Baltazaar | usermanager, here is a page for you: http://aplawrence.com/BDD/bbcronbasics.html | 16:42 |
| ikonia | roasted: it all depends on a lot of things, it's more a case of applying common sense and working out if you will benifit from it and wahat issues you'll got, eg: TCP packaet reponse to multiple nics | 16:43 |
| roasted | ikonia, I see. a lot of the reading I do seems to suggest that bonding is beneficial if you want a "backup NIC". It came off as like, a server with 2 PSUs, one fails, other is there running to continue work. | 16:44 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, kindof | 16:44 |
| roasted | Baltazaar, well if that's the case, I can SSH in and swap which eth is in charge and be done with it in 2 minutes... | 16:44 |
| roasted | Baltazaar, not that I have true redundancy, but if that's the reasoning behind its existence, it seems like very little benefit. | 16:45 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, well, it gives you redundancy, plus aggregation | 16:46 |
| === roberto is now known as scorpion19 | ||
| === Xei_ is now known as Xei | ||
| scorpion19 | hi guys | 16:46 |
| ikonia | roasted: sorry, had terrible lag there for a second | 16:46 |
| roasted | ikonia, all good. | 16:46 |
| ikonia | roasted: there are many benifits, the issue is how they apply to you and their value to your setup and overhead | 16:46 |
| ikonia | roasted: eg: it can give you great performance increaes, or superb redundency, but it won't do anything if your network cards are not flooded, or your switch can't deal with a trunked interface, see what I mean | 16:47 |
| roasted | ikonia, I see. So for my case, think it's a bit worthless? Or is it worthy to look into? After all, this server doesn't have to be up till Sept 1... so I can take my time reading if I need. | 16:47 |
| roasted | ikonia, yeah. | 16:47 |
| ikonia | eg: if you think 2 x 1GB card = 2gb traffic, you wo'nt see anything unless your system is hetting 1.1gb of constant use | 16:47 |
| Baltazaar | It's tha same as trunking in a way | 16:47 |
| roasted | ikonia, it's like upgrading to a gig network with a 100 meg network card. No benefit. | 16:48 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, Its the same as trunking in a way | 16:48 |
| ikonia | roasted: in my view, it's worthless and will cause you headache | 16:48 |
| roasted | ikonia, gotcha. I appreciate your time. | 16:48 |
| ikonia | roasted: eg: your sending dhcp out of a bonded interface, the layer 2 responses going back to a virtual interface for the ack.....Hmmm do you want to be trouble shooting that for no reason ? | 16:48 |
| roasted | ikonia, like I said, I know 1 will serve each lab beautifully, I just hate to see 2 unused NICs unless I truly don't need them. | 16:48 |
| Baltazaar | roasted, agree. shooting birds with a cannon in your case | 16:48 |
| ikonia | roasted: that said if you've got a card that's flooded and slowing down your network....it's worth the effort, but I don't believ eyou have | 16:48 |
| roasted | ikonia, haha, no, hardly :P | 16:49 |
| ikonia | roasted: if you don't need the 2 nics, save them for later, you will use them in other ways, I assure you | 16:49 |
| ikonia | roasted: you'll need one for a random private backup, or a test lan or $something - it always turns up | 16:49 |
| roasted | ikonia, yeah, this serve has a lot of potential for upgrading. by upgrading I mean adding more to it. | 16:49 |
| scorpion19 | are u talking about ccna or something like that? | 16:49 |
| roasted | ikonia, it has a pair of six core procs and 24gb of RAM. quite a powerhouse for what I'm doing, so I'd like to expand on it a bit more. | 16:49 |
| ikonia | roasted: a 3rd lan will be needed as $something wants to use it, or something, better to have "spare" rather than seeing them as wasted | 16:50 |
| roasted | ikonia, good point. | 16:50 |
| roasted | ikonia, I'll just stick to 1 NIC per vlan/lab | 16:50 |
| ikonia | roasted: in seriousness, look at things such as backups, no point backing up the machine over the production lan and killing your clients | 16:50 |
| roasted | ikonia, well, I don't know what I would need to back up in this case. | 16:50 |
| ikonia | roasted: if possible patch one of the nicks into your backup infrastructure, and make backups go out of that one dedicated nic, thus not impacting your ltsp stuff | 16:50 |
| dbugger | Can someone tell me how can I remove the splash screen from the grub? I want old fashioned dmesg | 16:50 |
| ikonia | roasted: the server !!! if it breaks, you delete a file etc | 16:51 |
| roasted | ikonia, this LTSP server is just a "host" that allow the clients to function in a cheaper fashion than traditional desktops | 16:51 |
| roasted | ikonia, oh, I thought you meant nightly backups | 16:51 |
| Baltazaar | ikonia, you know your networking. Network admin? I worked 10 years with various networking tasks | 16:51 |
| roasted | ikonia, I make clonezilla images of the server itself, though | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Baltazaar: I'm not a network specialist, no | 16:51 |
| Baltazaar | ikonia, well, you know your stuff | 16:51 |
| ikonia | roasted: you know what I'm saying though, there are plenty of uses that would benifit your network more than a bond for the sake of bonding | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Baltazaar: thank you, I'm flattered | 16:52 |
| roasted | ikonia, I back up the entire OS on a CZ image as well as the chroot for the thin client. It's all I need to get a new setup going within minutes. | 16:52 |
| Baltazaar | ikonia, lol | 16:52 |

| k1rk | Wouter_, I've always just had a separate OS drive when I do software RAID. | 17:39 |
| Wouter_ | k1rk, is is possible to combine ? | 17:39 |
| k1rk | I've never figured out how to do it. | 17:40 |
| Wouter_ | k1rk, if i do find /boot/grub/stage1 it says error 15: file not found | 17:40 |
| Wouter_ | k1rk, when i boot the pc, i see grub. thats it | 17:40 |
| k1rk | Grub would have to be able to start mdadm to initialize the array before you could boot. | 17:40 |
| k1rk | And mdadm can't be stored on the array I don't think. | 17:40 |
| Wouter_ | k1rk, yea the array is working fine in the live cd with mdadm | 17:40 |
| noip | Is there a way to roll back updates? | 17:41 |
| Wouter_ | aha, so i should just partition it so the Linux partition is out of the mirror and only my storage (mediacenter) is in raid ? | 17:41 |
| Wouter_ | @k1rk but then if my primary drive would die my linux install would die too.. | 17:42 |

| noip | ActionParsnip, Well, I don't know if it was a PPA. I don't think it was, but don't know. I just downloaded a bunch of updates a couple of days ago and now I'm having serious internet connectivity issues. Bug #810849 Nothing is working so I have to install another distro. | 17:54 |

| noip | ActionParsnip, I wish I could just uninstall the updates I downloaded a couple of days ago, then go through and update them one-by-one to see if I can find the culprit. I assume it must have been an update affecting the network-manager or something. (I don't know) | 17:55 |

| Spamicles | zykotick9, when i'm doing it, im getting things like "3,5d1" and < and > next to the lines instead of + and - | 18:17 |
| zykotick9 | Spamicles, sorry i don't use diff on a regular basis, only used it a couple times in my life actually, so I really don't know. perhaps I'm mistaken? But i've certainly seen the + and - somewhere before, assumed it was in diff. best of luck. | 18:18 |
| trism | Spamicles: diff -u is the version that gives + - | 18:18 |

| ice799 | Nikratio: the app fails to start when started in postinst because the deferred ldconfig hasnt run yet so the library isnt found | 18:23 |
| Nikratio | ice799: if it's a .deb then it must not have anything in /usr/local | 18:23 |

| kroq-gar78 | bad_alloc_: I think it's a big library, but here's a try: libghc6-opengl-dev | 19:59 |
| gh1234 | bad_alloc_ you could search the header file you want to use with apt-file | 20:00 |
| kroq-gar78 | bad_alloc_: I think that's c++... | 20:00 |
| kroq-gar78 | +1 to apt-file | 20:00 |

| * anthony_dev just started learning development for linux, so anthony_dev can be wrong | 20:02 | |
| bad_alloc_ | ah openGL is a standard *ouch* i thought it was an actual product. | 20:02 |
| bad_alloc_ | might the qt 4 opengl stuff be compatible then? | 20:03 |
| kroq-gar78 | bad_alloc_: here's the library if you want to try: libqt4-opengl-dev | 20:03 |
| Laurenceb_ | hi, is there a list of included packages | 20:04 |
| gh1234 | bad_alloc_ not quite thought... to compile my graphics driver I need this one... libglu1-mesa-dev its the opengl lib for C thought. | 20:04 |
| Laurenceb_ | ie stuff thats included with the default install? | 20:04 |
| gh1234 | Might contain what you want, I don't know irrlicht | 20:04 |

| Laurenceb_ | aptitude then tried to remove practically everything | 20:08 |
| Laurenceb_ | so i killed the process, but not before it had removed things like ubuntu-desktop | 20:09 |
| Laurenceb_ | is there a way to check my packages? | 20:09 |
| fructose | I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity. Is there a way I can move my windows above the top of the screen? It always stops me and it is extremely annoying/problematic | 20:09 |

| K350 | howto resumé a file transfer in sftp? | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurenceb_: if you reinstall ubuntu-desktop it should reinstall stuff, removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't do anything | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | fructose: if you hold ALT you can drag the window from ANY point and may be able to go off the top of the screen | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Laurenceb_: you can also run: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:10 |
| Laurenceb_ | ActionParnsnip: im doing that atm | 20:10 |
| Laurenceb_ | ok | 20:10 |
| Laurenceb_ | what does that do? | 20:10 |

| kroq-gar78 | Galvatron: no such thing as "sudo apt-get reinstall" | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | billy2007: ipod usb drive ubuntu | 20:28 |

| Galvatron | Yes | 20:28 |
| Giovannirulez2 | Dr_willis. yes and the status bar at the bottom isn't moving at all | 20:28 |
| mulrich | I've three shared folders on my Windows PC. All shared in the same way. One of them is even the root of a drive | 20:28 |
| Galvatron | Amnd I strongly recommend switching to aptitude for console package management - it's far easier | 20:28 |
| kroq-gar78 | Galvatron: ah you used "aptitude" no apt-get sorry | 20:28 |
| * gionnico close gnome session | 20:28 | |
| mulrich | However, my new HTPC, running Ubuntu 11.04, can only access two of the three folders | 20:28 |
| * gionnico logins | 20:28 | |
| gionnico | no still last clock digit is hidden! how nasty | 20:29 |

| billy2007 | ActionParsnip, its just trying to do what the phone does automatically it still wont let me access the same files as id be able to with ssh the reason for me trying to do this is my phone dosnt have a screen at the moment | 20:30 |

| Galvatron | Duke_: It's still way faster than making several upgrades. | 20:38 |
| allowoverride | is anyone after upgrading lately via synaptic including new kernel - 2.6.35-30-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP - having issues with send/receive in Evolution, and Firefox starting OFFLINE always when opening? is it just me? lol i opened up Bug Reports - 811234 and 811223 | 20:39 |
| liam | ar71k, no because the temp jumps back up to about 80-85 degrees | 20:39 |
| BluesKaj | yup Duke_ , with such an old OS , a clean install is your safest bet for 10,04 | 20:39 |

My guess is that it runs before the indicator panel itself has started. Is there a way to do dependencies in startup apps? Or maybe some kind of delay? | 21:16 |

| exutux | aidan_follestad: you can delete entryes in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot...it will recreate right rules and right names | 21:25 |
| aidan_follestad | edbian: The file contains 2 lines, the first with "lp", the second with "rtc'. | 21:25 |

| aidan_follestad | ebdian: Thanks. Oh and ifconfig displays eth0, eth2, and lo, but not wlan0. However, I'm still connected to wifi. | 21:27 |
| pwnus | Hi guys. Whats the ubuntu classroom irc channel | 21:27 |
| exutux | aidan_follestad: you need to delete alla entries and reboot | 21:27 |
| Dr_Willis | cg2916, no idea. other then to suggest trying some other live cds. and the forumns for that chipset. | 21:27 |
| pwnus | I thought it was #ubuntu-classes but its empty | 21:27 |

| Dr_Willis | cg2916, its all realtive.. if you want the lightest desktop = lubuntu.. if you want the lightest X session - just run a window manager, and no desktop. | 21:31 |
| edbian | cg2916: It depends on the system. xfce requires less ram so if you have a system with a small amount of ram it will appear faster. | 21:31 |

| ice799 | Hi. I've created a debian package and installed it on my Ubuntu system. It comes with an init.d script which uses start-stop-daemon, but doesn't use the -b switch (as the application daemonises itself). If I use the init.d script to start or restart the service and I log out, the service runs in the background as expected. | 21:51 |
| ice799 | HOWEVER | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | omegaphi: then try mounting a partition and see what is on it | 21:51 |
| ice799 | when I install the deb, the postinst script tries to start the service so that it is running when installation finishes. This causes apt to hang forever waiting for the app to exit. | 21:52 |
| ice799 | Why does this happen? | 21:52 |
| omegaphi | ActionParsnip : I did, but I couldn't find the root.disk file in it. While this file is visible from windows | 21:52 |
| xibalba_ | ActionParsnip, I have 4 nics in my server. I want to create 2 fail over BOND groups for LAN and WAN. My 2nd BOND group does not show up, only BOND0 shows up, and BOND0 doesn't have the correct settings set , its using RR mode when I specified fail-over, mode 1 | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | omegaphi: then it's not in that partition. Do you have multiple physical drives in the system? | 21:52 |
| omegaphi | ActionParsnip : yes | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | xibalba_: never done stuff like that dude. I can't help but keep asing occasionally. Or post on the ubuntu forum | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | omegaphi: then mount those too, see if you can find the file | 21:53 |
| omegaphi | ActionParsnip : ok | 21:53 |
| xibalba_ | ActionParsnip , the forums is a good idea. gonna try the mailing list too. | 21:54 |
| xibalba_ | ActionParsnip , setting up new voip servers, want them to be fully fault tolerant, thats why i need all the bond groups | 21:55 |

| Ceo | Hello everybody | 21:57 |
| Ceo | Is there anybody that can help me with a thing about ubuntu? | 21:58 |
| Miram | I really doubt I can, but you should post your question | 21:58 |
| Miram | Somebody will se it | 21:58 |
| Miram | see* | 21:58 |
| raginkestrel | Hello. I have tried for two days to get someone talking, but no joy :-( | 21:58 |
| Ceo | Relax, its not hard, i just have no time to read ubuntu docs | 21:59 |
| Ceo | Ok, here goes: | 21:59 |
| victorious | Ceo: At least in 11.04, you can press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen | 22:00 |
| Ceo | Fedora has a config like "groupremove_leaf_only=1" which provides some verifications before removing any software. | 22:00 |
| victorious | oops, sorry, that was ment for raginkestrel | 22:00 |
| Ceo | Is there anything similar on ubuntu?! | 22:00 |
| Ceo | This "groupremove_leaf_only=1" just let you remove a software if it has no dependencies on the system. | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Ceo: if you use apt-get you will need to use your password to authenticate as well as be in the admin group. You will then be shown what is going to be removed etc and you will need to additionally say YES to go ahead with the uninstall | 22:02 |
| Chillance | ok, so, Im trying to start a vnc session so it uses the nvidia drivers in the ~/.vnc/xstartup script, but unable to do it.. how should I do it? | 22:02 |
| Ceo | Yes, but if I remove a program and it has a dependency active, it can crash the system... | 22:03 |
| Ceo | isn't it? | 22:03 |
| xibalba_ | lol @ ceo | 22:04 |
| xibalba_ | what a name | 22:04 |

| rhin0 | ActionParsnip: I login with classic view (no effects) and the problem still exists --- how do you disable compiz completely -- I recall that compiz is not disabled when you select classic view no effects on 11.04 | 22:20 |
| rhin0 | or check its running | 22:20 |
| tessellated | greatpopcorn: what ubuntu are you using? have you tried rebooting into save mode? | 22:20 |

| vluther_ | i have a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 .. but when i try apt-cache search nginx or varnish | 22:27 |
| greatpopcorn | tessellated: i get an ibm thinkpad screen, then the console with no response to the kepboard, and then the ubuntu screen. | 22:27 |

| vluther_ | edbian: i've done that already.. sources.list only has: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main | 22:28 |
| edbian | vluther_: What is the problem exactly? Packages are missing? | 22:28 |
| vluther_ | edbian: no, i want to install nginx | 22:28 |
| enhanced | printer problem fixed | 22:28 |
| vluther_ | apt-get install nginx is not giving me anything | 22:28 |
| edbian | vluther_: sudo apt-get install nginx does what? | 22:28 |
| mrk | Hi everyone, Ok i dont know if this is possible but i want to make my second harddrive (which ubuntu currently does not see) an extention of my first hard drive. is that possible? | 22:28 |
| enhanced | multiple versions of python | 22:28 |
| edbian | vluther_: What does it do? | 22:28 |
| enhanced | DIAF stackless python | 22:28 |
| edbian | mrk: No, but you can partition it and use it as storage space by mounting it in a folder. | 22:29 |
| Amartolos | hey | 22:29 |
| vluther_ | Package nginx is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 22:29 |
| vluther_ | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 22:29 |
| vluther_ | is only available from another source | 22:29 |
| vluther_ | E: Package 'nginx' has no installation candidate | 22:29 |
| mrk | edbian alright how can i do that | 22:29 |
| Amartolos | i just installed windows on a second partition. how can i renenable grub and ubuntu in boot? | 22:29 |
| edbian | vluther_: apt-get install nginx-full | 22:29 |
| edbian | mrk: First install and use gparted to format it. | 22:30 |
| edbian | mrk: Can you do that :) | 22:30 |
| vluther_ | edbian: can't find that package either | 22:30 |
| edbian | vluther_: It's in the universe repo. Enable it in syanptic. | 22:30 |
| mrk | edbian alright that sounds great thanks | 22:30 |
| edbian | synaptic* | 22:30 |
| edbian | mrk: sure | 22:30 |
| tessellated | greatpopcorn: on the ubuntu screen, does it not give you a choice to select some boot options? | 22:30 |
| vluther_ | edbian: it's a server at slicehost, no synaptic, ssh access only | 22:31 |
| ortsvorsteher | Amartolos, is the second partition on the same hard drive where the ubuntu installation is? and, if it is so, did you first install linux and then windows? | 22:31 |
| kirbygibner | what channel can i go to to get help on tablet | 22:31 |
| subanomic | hi | 22:31 |
| greatpopcorn | tessellated: no, it is a picture of a man=keyboard | 22:31 |
| edbian | vluther_: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? (you were right!!) | 22:31 |
| subanomic | on a more or less fresh ubuntu server 11.04, lsmod says that /proc/modules doesn't exist | 22:31 |
| rhin0 | anyone know if I can detect if compiz is running from the command line | 22:31 |
| subanomic | is that normal? doesn't the default kernel have loadable module support? | 22:31 |
| vluther_ | edbian: no need to pastebin it, it's one line :) deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main | 22:31 |
| vluther_ | i thought it was a provisioning error, so i provisioned a clean box | 22:32 |
| vluther_ | both boxes | 22:32 |
| edbian | vluther_: add restricted to the end of that line | 22:32 |
| tessellated | greatpopcorn: sorry, I seem to lack experience in this case then. | 22:32 |
| Emma | where is my Thunderbird mail client installed? | 22:32 |
| edbian | vluther_: whoops | 22:32 |
| edbian | vluther_: I was wrong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine look at adding repos. It says you can just add universe ? I'm not sure. Read that doc | 22:33 |
| Amartolos | ortsvorsteher: yes i had first ubuntu, installed windows on the same hdd 2nd partition. now i have loaded ubuntu livecd (though its the previous of natty version) | 22:33 |
| greatpopcorn | tessellated:should i find someone else? | 22:33 |
| vluther_ | edbian: thanks looking | 22:33 |
| astraljava | rhin0: I have no idea what the compiz binary is called, in fact, but try `ps -ef | grep compiz` ? | 22:33 |
| rhin0 | ty | 22:33 |
| * rhin0 raw panic | 22:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | subanomic: yes the kernel can have modules loaded and unloaded | 22:33 |
| ortsvorsteher | Amartolos, as far as i know, windows needs block zero on hard drive to be able to boot. now i am not sure that you have destroyed your ubuntu installation by installing windows. | 22:34 |
| edbian | vluther_: sure | 22:34 |
| subanomic | ActionParsnip: then why does it say /proc/modules doesn't exist? is that normal? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | subanomic: what is the exact error you get when you run: lsmod please | 22:34 |
| Amartolos | ortsvorsteher: i dont think this is the case, i have done the same thing again in the past | 22:34 |
| Amartolos | ortsvorsteher: install linux then windows and just restore grub | 22:34 |
| ortsvorsteher | Amartolos, ah okay, let me just find the link from ubottu for you... | 22:35 |

| greatpopcorn | Dr | 22:39 |

| no-name- | is there a programme that will show different lines in different colours depending on what words they have in them? e.g. colour lines that contain <user1> blue and <user2> red? | 22:39 |

| edbian | mecheese: Have you tried the nomodeset kernel option? | 22:45 |
| byron | mechese what is the issue? | 22:45 |
| === x^x is now known as x_-_x | ||
| mecheese | edbian what does that fix? and where do I set that? | 22:45 |
| adrian15 | cyperbg: Rescatux has a gui for fsck but I do not know it is worth in your problem. You might identify your device by running mount before and after plugging it in so that ActionParsnip can tell you a command. | 22:45 |
| edbian | mecheese: Let me get this straight. You have some nvidia card and if you install one of the nvidia drivers when you boot you get a black screen? | 22:46 |
| edbian | mecheese: Is that right? | 22:46 |
| mecheese | byron what edbian said | 22:46 |
| mecheese | edbian yes | 22:46 |
| byron | mechese what version ubuntu? | 22:46 |
| edbian | mecheese: Then turn on the nomodeset option. It fixes everything. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 | 22:46 |
| [1]Snicers-Work | My ubuntu 11.04 screen flickers and goes black in sections when I am in GDM. | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | fixes some things at least | 22:47 |
| edbian | mecheese: That is a guide on how to set kernel options. You wanna follow the bit titled 'how to temporarily set kernel boot options on installed OS (not wubi) in the first post. | 22:47 |
| mecheese | edbian should that work with lucid | 22:47 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: No, it fixes all things | 22:47 |
| edbian | mecheese: Yeah | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !nomodeset | 22:47 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:47 |
| edbian | mecheese: I'm not sure. It is very likely to work though. | 22:47 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: I already gave that link! | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | edbian: i need nomodeset to install. but not once i get the nvidia drivers installed | 22:48 |
| byron | Mecheese are you using restricted driver? | 22:48 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: mmm, curious | 22:48 |
| zelozelos | what do i do with this "The following packages have unmet dependencies: astromenace: Depends: libopenal0a but it is not installable E: Broken packages" | 22:48 |
| jeremy__ | ok I think all work thank you :D | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | nomodeset i think limited my res settings also | 22:49 |
| edbian | zelozelos: Fix your broken packages: sudo apt-get install -f | 22:49 |
| byron | zelozelos find what repository the library is in and add | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !find openal0a | 22:50 |
| ubottu | Package/file openal0a does not exist in natty | 22:50 |
| cyperbg | ActionParsnip it listed a lot of lines about multiplly blocks and then at the end said something about inconsistency and told me to run it manually | 22:50 |
| cyperbg | what do I do? | 22:50 |
| mecheese | byron yes | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | cyperbg: but you did run it manually didn't you? in a terminal? | 22:50 |
| cyperbg | yes | 22:51 |

| cyperbg | how do I fix it? | 22:51 |
| ciss | hi, is there a way to force a file owner for created files? that is, a group member creates a file and the uid will be changed instantly? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | cyperbg: like I said. I'm not sure. Maybe others can advise | 22:51 |
| cyperbg | thank you | 22:51 |
| rhin0 | ActionParsnip: reasonably sure its to do with compiz -- can't get in now to find out -- desktop freezing -- problem didn't exist on laptop and 10.04 -- only 11.04 -- am going to xubuntu /xfce | 22:51 |
| cyperbg | anyone, how can I fix a bad file system? | 22:51 |
| edbian | mecheese: Yes. You're needs to look like that (ending in nomodeset) | 22:51 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: what's the issue with it ? | 22:52 |
| mecheese | edbian should I do that before the driver install? | 22:52 |
| Dr_Willis | cyperbg: live cd and fsck is what i do | 22:52 |
| edbian | mecheese: That comes after the driver is installed. If you do it before it likely won't break anything. | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | cyperbg: This sounds like bad hardware to me. | 22:52 |
| cyperbg | ikonia: after several attemps to install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit I always get some weird boot problems mainly this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/img20100926103608.jpg/ | 22:52 |
| ciss | alternatively, can a user be masked as a different user after ssh login? | 22:53 |
| cyperbg | the last time I got hd0 error. Grub error or something | 22:53 |
| cyperbg | could it be that the usb flash drive I used got corrupted by too many reads/writes? | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | cyperbg: I'd say that's the most likely explanation. | 22:53 |
| cyperbg | how long should a flash drive be expected to last as a boot drive? | 22:54 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: boot from a livecd and try to mount it, see if it's actually ok | 22:54 |
| cyperbg | it's been only 2 weeks | 22:54 |
| mecheese | edbian if I remember right I need to reboot after the driver install to get it to work. so I can just do the file edit for nomodeset right before the reboot? | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | cyperbg: It varies wildly depending on the drive. | 22:54 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:can you help me? | 22:54 |
| edbian | mecheese: Sure. The nomodeset makes it so that you don't get a black screen with that driver. | 22:54 |
| cyperbg | ikonia I just did that: it was mounted automatically, I unmounted it and ran sudo e2fsck -fpC 0 /dev/sdb1 | 22:54 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: I don't know, what's the isue | 22:54 |
| mecheese | edbian thank you. I will go try it now. | 22:54 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: what was the output ? | 22:54 |
| edbian | mecheese: great :D | 22:55 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:i am getting an authentication failure | 22:55 |
| cyperbg | it listed many multiply blocks and said something about inconsistency at the end | 22:55 |
| Giovannirulez2 | ok i have a problem with audio can any1 help | 22:55 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: doing what ? | 22:55 |
| cyperbg | and it told me to run fsck manually | 22:55 |
| Giovannirulez2 | i hear nothing form my speakers | 22:55 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:booting | 22:55 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" please | 22:55 |
| cyperbg | ok one moment | 22:55 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: so it won't boot ? | 22:55 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:yes | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: Did you mean "sudo fdisk -lu"? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: what point does it stop ? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | Jordan_U: no | 22:56 |
| cyperbg | ikonia sudo fdisk /dev/sdb or sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1 | 22:56 |
| mrk | edbian you told me to use gparted to mount my second hard drive, i formatted it but there is no mount option can you please help | 22:56 |
| greatpopcorn | ubuntu screen with four dots | 22:56 |
| Giovannirulez2 | can someone plz help me ? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | 22:56 |
| Giovannirulez2 | i cant get my speakers to work | 22:56 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: has it ever worked ? | 22:56 |
| edbian | mrk: gparted does not do the mounting for that we use the mount command (we can automate it using /etc/fstab). Wanna mount your partition now? sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/ (replace the X of course) | 22:56 |
| test123abc1 | Chat Logging has been [Enabled] | 22:56 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:no | 22:56 |
| edbian | mrk: What format did you make the partition? ext4 ? | 22:56 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: where does the error message come up ? | 22:57 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:in a black console with 5 other authentication failure | 22:57 |
| cyperbg | ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/645074/ | 22:58 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: where does that console appear ? you said you had 4 dots on screen | 22:58 |
| cyperbg | for the previous command + what you told me at the end | 22:58 |
| mrk | edbian no its ext 2 should it be 4? | 22:58 |
| biami | how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| edbian | mrk: Well ext2 is old. ext4 performs better. It's not a huge deal though. | 22:58 |
| edbian | mrk: If you're gonna reformat do it before you fill the drive. | 22:58 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: you have overlapping partitions | 22:59 |
| mrk | edbian alright great ill change it now thanks for everything | 22:59 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: that's why it will never work, your partitions are totally messed up | 22:59 |
| edbian | mrk: sure | 22:59 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:no longer. there is the words ubuntu 11.04 then four dots, then 2 minutes later my screen becomes completely black and the middle of the screen becomes the terminal | 22:59 |
| cyperbg | ikonia why does this happen and can I fix it? | 22:59 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: it happened due to how the partitions where made, to fix it you'll need to repartition | 22:59 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: have you tried a re-install ? | 23:00 |
| rhin0 | i'm beginning to distrust chrome on ubuntu I think I get malware or something through it | 23:00 |
| cyperbg | I ususally just select: Delete 11.04 and install Ubuntu again | 23:00 |
| Jordan_U | Odd, Ubiquity shouldn't have been able to install at all to a disk with overlapping partitions. | 23:00 |
| rhin0 | ditching it -- stick with firefox -- won't take any chances | 23:00 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: look at the end of sdb1 "742" and the start of sdb2 "742" | 23:00 |
| cyperbg | ikonia is there a partidion tool in the Live CD? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: gparted | 23:00 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:i am trying to boot from a live CD with no previous installation with the exception of windows 2000. | 23:00 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: ah, so this is the livecd not an install | 23:01 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:yes | 23:01 |
| szal | greatpopcorn: W2k is dead | 23:01 |
| cyperbg | ikonia: so how do I partition the drive? Will that save me from yet another installation? | 23:01 |
| === X_ is now known as x_-_x | ||
| cyperbg | because usually during installation the installer creates 3 partitions I think | 23:01 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: well, that explains a little in that the live cd trys to auto login, so that explains why you don't get anywhere if there is an authentication issue | 23:01 |
| nocilis | can burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: you'll need to do an re-install after you've fixed the partition table | 23:02 |
| nocilis | *can I burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive? | 23:02 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, you sure can | 23:02 |
| nocilis | through plop? | 23:02 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:never booted ubuntu on this computer before | 23:02 |
| cyperbg | ikonia that is fine. Then I guess the safest thing to do is delete all partitions and then let the installer create what it needs? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: probbly, but pay attention to what it says on screen | 23:02 |
| nocilis | how, x_-_x? | 23:02 |
| cyperbg | I will report back | 23:02 |

| cyperbg | thank you | 23:03 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:well, once before but i got to the same screen that said kernel panic | 23:03 |

| ikonia | greatpopcorn: that's a different issue | 23:04 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:ok | 23:04 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, can you just confirm that after so many installations the installer does not delete all partitions but just uses them and this creates the problem?# | 23:05 |
| cyperbg | I just wnat to fint the reason behind the problem | 23:05 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: the installer will do what you tell it to, hence why I told you to pay attention to what it's telling you and what it's asking you | 23:05 |
| nocilis | umm I have some choices here X_-_X | 23:06 |
| Giovannirulez2 | can someone help me | 23:06 |
| edbian | Giovannirulez2: with what? | 23:06 |
| Giovannirulez2 | speaker issues | 23:07 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, between distros? | 23:07 |
| cyperbg | ikonia: the installer presents with with these options: either I use the advanced partition tool to create what I want or let it automatically use the whole usb drive and do its magic, which ends in disaster | 23:07 |
| nocilis | yeah | 23:07 |
| nocilis | is there an iso for this thing? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: ok, so select manual | 23:07 |
| nocilis | sort of thing | 23:07 |
| no-name- | how to recover files deleted with rm ? | 23:07 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, what are you looking at? | 23:07 |
| nocilis | unetbootin | 23:08 |
| szal | cyperbg: using a flash drive as OS partition is not particularly clever.. I once had a live USB system that started disintegrating at the 2nd boot already; imho, USB boot from flash drive is definitely not error-proof | 23:08 |
| nocilis | first, do I pick distribution, diskimage, or custom? | 23:08 |
| mosx1 | hi, I'm using gadmin-proftpd. I create a user and want to then log in remotely over ssh as that account. I get Access Denied. How come ? | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | mosx1: did you set the password? | 23:09 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, I like to download the iso my self and use the custom option.Then I know I have what I want. | 23:09 |
| nocilis | yes, I usually do that too | 23:09 |
| nocilis | but what iso do you suggest? | 23:09 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, I'm a linux newbie so I don't know how many partitions to create so I don't select manual | 23:10 |
| edbian | cyperbg: You only NEED 2? / and /swap | 23:10 |
| edbian | (ignore that question mark) | 23:10 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: 2 - one for / and one for swap | 23:10 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: you can then use that to learn | 23:10 |
| cyperbg | so 3 in total? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: no, 2 in total | 23:10 |
| edbian | cyperbg: no, 2 total | 23:10 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, What distro? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: one for / and one for swap, that = 2 | 23:10 |
| nocilis | a bios on another computer is old and cannot boot from liveUSB, yet I don't want to have to burn a cd each time | 23:10 |
| mosx1 | ActionParsnip: yes | 23:10 |
| szal | cyperbg: rule of thumb -> 10-15 GB for /, (installed RAM * 1.5) GB for swap, rest for /home | 23:10 |
| nocilis | that is my problem | 23:10 |
| cyperbg | cause I have 3 currently and can't delete 2 of them. Gparted shows keys icons next to them | 23:10 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:i have been on this chat channel for hours and nobody can fix my system. I just want to install ubuntu. | 23:10 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: have you tried the alternative install cd ? | 23:11 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, this is a bitcoin mining rig, so it works 24/7 | 23:11 |
| szal | cyperbg: are you executing gparted from within the system you want to modify? | 23:11 |
| edbian | cyperbg: YOu cannot delete partitions that are mounted. | 23:11 |
| nocilis | I can burn isos just fine x_-_x | 23:11 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: clearly it doesn't work 24x7 | 23:11 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:no | 23:11 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, if you can't flash the bios your stuck with cd's | 23:11 |
| edbian | cyperbg: If you want to you can use gparted. That is like, erasing all your data though. | 23:11 |
| mosx1 | not sure if users are created just in the ftpd realm or if they are genuine linux accounts though. | 23:11 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: that's worth a try then, it's on the ubuntu.com website | 23:11 |
| a7i3n | I just noticed a huge difference in GPU temprature from switching to the fglrx driver. It was idling at 63 degrees C and now is at 45 degrees C. | 23:11 |
| cyperbg | edbian, I open DIsk Editor and it says there they are unmounted | 23:11 |
| nocilis | kk x_-_x well thanks for your help | 23:11 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: are you running from a livecd now ? | 23:12 |
| edbian | cyperbg: the key in gparted means they are mounted. | 23:12 |
| x_-_x | nocilis, your welcome | 23:12 |
| cyperbg | edbian I have no data to keep - no worries to erase everythng | 23:12 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, yes live CD | 23:12 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: type these commands | 23:12 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 23:12 |
| edbian | cyperbg: right click them in gparted to unmount them | 23:12 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: say when done | 23:12 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia: can it install onto a separate external hard drive? | 23:12 |
| cyperbg | ok let's try :) | 23:12 |

| greatpopcorn | ikonia:ill give it a shot. | 23:13 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, btw I have this: http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/acatalog/emtec_4gb.jpg It's like a usb flash drive, but with a mini hard disk inside. Maybe I should use that instead of the flash drive? | 23:17 |

| x_-_x | cyperbg, Using a usb pendrive as a harddrive is a bad idea, but installing an os from it is easy and fast. | 23:23 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: I'm stopping helping you now, as you seem unable to follow the instructions I give you | 23:23 |
| edbian | mecheese: That's another option. | 23:24 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: I told you to run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" and tell me when you where ready | 23:24 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: you've done everything but that | 23:24 |
| cyperbg | ikonia, you told me to use sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 23:24 |
| cyperbg | and then unmount the partitions in GParted | 23:24 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: no I didn't | 23:24 |
| ronqbc | ar71k, yes. i want to find a file | 23:24 |
| ikonia | cyperbg: I told you to run sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and tell me where you where ready | 23:24 |
| edbian | cyperbg: ikonia I said to unmount in gparted | 23:25 |
| ikonia | edbian: thanks, | 23:25 |
| edbian | cyperbg: but you cannot unmount certains partitions | 23:25 |
| edbian | ikonia: sure | 23:25 |
| whatismyname | I am trying to get my broadcom wireless to work on ubuntu 11.04 (it worked fine on 10). after reading about it online, I figured I need to install "firmware-b43-package" but it's not available in synaptics package manager | 23:25 |
| mecheese | edbian what can I do you think? | 23:25 |
| edbian | whatismyname: You need to install firmware-b43-installer | 23:25 |
| edbian | whatismyname: :) It changes too often. That command gets the firmware | 23:26 |
| whatismyname | edbian: my bad, i meant to type "firmware-b43-installer" sorry | 23:26 |
| edbian | mecheese: Try a different driver. What card do you have? | 23:26 |
| whatismyname | I couldn't find it in the package manaer | 23:26 |
| whatismyname | manager* | 23:26 |
| edbian | whatismyname: perhaps you need to look in a different repo | 23:26 |
| cyperbg | ikonia please have mercy on me - I'm trying my best | 23:26 |
| edbian | whatismyname: It's in multi-verse look at the tabs in synaptic | 23:27 |
| cyperbg | I ran sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and it tells me something about MS-DOS | 23:27 |
| whatismyname | edbian: ok, let me check | 23:27 |
| edbian | whatismyname: | 23:27 |
| edbian | sure | 23:27 |

| cyperbg | in pastebin | 23:27 |
| ronqbc | are there sound enhancers to ubuntu like dfx in win? | 23:28 |
| szal | ronqbc: what do you mean by 'sound enhancers'? | 23:29 |
| cyperbg1 | this is cyperbg but from the Ubuntu machine | 23:29 |
| cyperbg1 | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to sectors (command 'u'). | 23:29 |
| ronqbc | szal, like dfx. make an effect | 23:29 |

| KaleFaolan | *pokes his head in* Is this where i might get a little help? | 23:30 |
| edbian | mecheese: nouveau causes the black screen or another one? | 23:30 |
| edbian | KaleFaolan: yes | 23:31 |
| edbian | !ask | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:31 |
| whatismyname | edbian: I couldn't find any such tab, I clicked on 'Settings' | 23:31 |
| cyperbg1 | ikonia, any ideas? | 23:31 |
| edbian | whatismyname: Hang on a second. I'm gonna go look at mine. | 23:31 |
| szal | mecheese: didn't I tell you yesterday how to install nVidia drivers? | 23:31 |
| whatismyname | omg | 23:32 |
| whatismyname | edbian: i must be blind | 23:32 |
| mecheese | edbian nouveau causes black screen | 23:32 |
| whatismyname | i overlooked it | 23:32 |
| KaleFaolan | Woot! Alright, I'm trying to figure out how to activate my nvidia driver. It says "This driver is activated but not currently in use." How do i make it use it? o.O | 23:32 |
| whatismyname | multiverse was unchecked | 23:32 |
| sudokill | KaleFaolan, glxinfo | grep render | 23:33 |
| mecheese | szal I know how to install them. I'm just wanting something that I can hope to get permanant and I don't have to fix some day. | 23:33 |
| sudokill | KaleFaolan, sometimes it says not in use but it is | 23:33 |
| KaleFaolan | ahhh okay let me check that then | 23:33 |
| mecheese | szal I'm very tired of reinstalling ubuntu. 5 or 6 times in the last couple weeks. | 23:33 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:it appears that the installation cd is the exact same thing as the live cd. | 23:34 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian, please help | 23:34 |
| edbian | whatismyname: synaptic -> settings -> repos | 23:34 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: with what? | 23:34 |
| szal | mecheese: no need to reinstall the driver if you install it from *buntu package sources in the 1st place | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | KaleFaolan: which nvidia chip do you use? | 23:34 |
| mecheese | szal I really like ubuntu and want to keep using it, but it's wearing on me. | 23:34 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: what is the name of the file you downloaded ? | 23:34 |
| mecheese | szal after install it made the screen black. | 23:34 |
| edbian | mecheese: Search 'nvidia' in synaptic. Look at what comes up in terms of drivers. Look for one for your card | 23:35 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian, unmounting the partitions so I can delete them | 23:35 |
| edbian | whatismyname: :) no worries | 23:35 |
| KaleFaolan | ActionParsnip: GeForce 8600M GT/PCI/SSE2 | 23:35 |
| edbian | whatismyname: You checked multi-verse ? | 23:35 |
| edbian | whatismyname: make sure you reload! | 23:35 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: Are you on a liveCD ? | 23:35 |
| cyperbg1 | yes | 23:35 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386 | 23:35 |
| whatismyname | edbian: I installed the package, thank you | 23:35 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: sudo umount /dev/sdXY (replace X and Y) and it's umount NOT unmount | 23:36 |
| edbian | whatismyname: sudo modprobe b43 | 23:36 |
| mosx1 | does clicking swith user log you out - 11.04 desktop ? | 23:36 |
| mosx1 | switch | 23:36 |
| edbian | mosx1: No | 23:36 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: I told you to get the altenative cd - that's exactly the same CD image you've just used | 23:36 |
| mosx1 | ok i clicked it from a vnc session, now the session window is just black | 23:36 |
| mosx1 | any ideas? | 23:36 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian it says: umount: /dev/sda2: not mounted but GParted shows them with a key symbol and I can't delete them | 23:37 |
| sudokill | so many people with black screens lol | 23:37 |
| whatismyname | edbian: i can see my SSID! thanks! | 23:37 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: does gparted show an orange triangle? | 23:37 |
| edbian | whatismyname: sure :) | 23:37 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia: the text-based installer? | 23:37 |
| edbian | whatismyname: People are always so surprised when it starts working. | 23:37 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: yes | 23:37 |
| ikonia | greatpopcorn: the "alternative" cd | 23:37 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: no | 23:37 |
| greatpopcorn | ikonia:thank you! | 23:37 |
| szal | [Friday 15 July 2011] [04:35:05] <szal> mecheese: to install nVidia driver -> 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot.. if you still have issues then, please come back here | 23:38 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: GParted -> refresh devices | 23:38 |
| mecheese | szal I did that yesterday and still got black screen. | 23:38 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: same thing. I'll make you a screenshot | 23:38 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: sure | 23:39 |
| szal | mecheese: make sure you have "nomodeset" in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line in /etc/default/grub; if you don't, add it there, then run 'sudo update-grub' | 23:40 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: http://img823.imageshack.us/i/screenshothh.png/ | 23:40 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: right click it and do swapoff | 23:40 |
| mecheese | szal it's already there | 23:40 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: Then you can unmount them | 23:40 |
| mecheese | szal I wrote nomodeset in there | 23:40 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: the cli command says they are unmounted | 23:41 |
| mosx1 | ffs...is it possible to get control of my vnc session again? I just get a black screen have killed the x11vnc server, restarted it, reconnected, same black screen. | 23:41 |
| cyperbg1 | and the option in GParted is grey | 23:41 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: right click it in gparted and do swapoff | 23:41 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: swapoff | 23:41 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: there is not swapoff | 23:41 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian found it | 23:42 |
| szal | mecheese: grep -i nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- it should show 'nomodeset' in every kernel boot line | 23:42 |
| cyperbg1 | it was active only on the last partition | 23:42 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: there ya go :) | 23:42 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: That is the only one that is swap | 23:42 |
| mosx1 | any ideas? I'm guessing I could resort to a remote reboot as it's desktop ? | 23:42 |
| subminuentisch | hello i have a problem with apt and synaptic both still try to connect via the proxy wich isnt in the network anymore i emtied apt.conf the systemproxy and the synaptic proxy | 23:42 |

| edbian | cyperbg1: sure | 23:42 |
| mecheese | szal I'm using ubuntu dvd right now will that do anything good while I'm using the dvd? | 23:43 |
| shockrates | hey | 23:43 |
| shockrates | how can i make grub menu on boot last 3 seconds only | 23:43 |
| shockrates | ? | 23:43 |
| edbian | shockrates: /etc/defaults/grub | 23:43 |
| shockrates | edbian: i edit this file? | 23:43 |
| szal | mecheese: to my knowledge there is no Ubuntu DVD; if you have a DVD, it's almost certainly not Ubuntu.. mount your / partition & change the file path accordingly | 23:44 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: can I ask you too, because I'm trying to figure out what caused the problem. I've done like 7-8 installations always choosing the option to delete previous installation and install on the entire drive. Doesn't the installer delete all partitions and sort things out? | 23:44 |
| edbian | shockrates: yeah. There is a straightforward option in there | 23:44 |
| shockrates | edbian: i use grub2... | 23:44 |
| mecheese | szal cd or whatever it's not the hd install. | 23:44 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: I thought it would | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | the ubuntu dvd has addational languages - i think thats about it... | 23:44 |
| edbian | shockrates: that's right :) /etc/default/grub | 23:44 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: so what would you suggest now: choose that options or make the partitions myself? | 23:44 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: Delete all the partitions. When using the installer choose 'use entire drive | 23:45 |
| shockrates | edbian: ok edited the file. do i now run some command to update grub? | 23:45 |
| edbian | Maybe it didn't delete swap because you had never done swapoff | 23:45 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian I will. What about the file system. Is ext4 good? | 23:45 |
| edbian | shockrates: I don't think you need to. | 23:45 |
| shockrates | kk | 23:45 |
| shockrates | ty | 23:45 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: ext4 all the way! | 23:45 |
| edbian | shockrates: sure | 23:45 |
| mosx1 | anything i can try from commandline to get my desktop back on screen ? | 23:45 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: thank you. Any other suggestions? | 23:46 |
| cyperbg1 | so I don't mess things up again | 23:46 |
| shockrates | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_g23qi9hg | 23:46 |
| bazhang | shockrates, dont paste that here | 23:46 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: I wouldn't even bother making the partitions. Just leave the whole HDD empty and then choose 'use entire disc' in the installer | 23:46 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: yes I always do that :) | 23:46 |
| shockrates | bazhang: nice song though | 23:46 |
| shockrates | :) | 23:46 |
| graalgonstruckt | I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me to adding a radio station to banshee on ubuntu. | 23:46 |

| bazhang | shockrates, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support, so dont | 23:47 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: how long more are you around here if I need any help? | 23:47 |
| shockrates | i have a problem and when i do apt-get install wine, it fails to download some fonts from sourceforge and times out. does anyone else have this? | 23:47 |

| canonin | guys, im taking a screenshot. | 23:50 |
| canonin | say cheese. | 23:50 |
| cyperbg1 | edbian: before installing is there a tool in the LiveCD to check the integrity of the flash drive. I want to make sure it is in good health. | 23:50 |
| mosx1 | 11.04 desktop if that makes a diff ? | 23:50 |
| sudokill | cheese | 23:50 |
| sudokill | IM FAMOUS | 23:50 |
| ar71k | cheese | 23:50 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: I don't know | 23:50 |
| edbian | sudokill: ha | 23:50 |
| cyperbg1 | ok I will gogle | 23:50 |
| edbian | cyperbg1: sure | 23:50 |
| mosx1 | Server is already active for display 0 | 23:51 |
| victorious | biami: I think it depends on what compiler you use and what libraries you want to use. So i suggest you just google it to get started and figure out what you need | 23:51 |
| stercor | Is there a way to send a .jpg as a fax? | 23:51 |
| mecheese | szal says no such file or directory. I can see the file in nautilus. | 23:51 |
| mosx1 | ok, neither suggestion worked, thx anyhow. | 23:52 |
| exutux | mosx1: sudo service gdm restart | 23:53 |

| canonin | say cheese | 23:53 |
| cyperbg1 | anyone else know a tool to check flash drive health? | 23:53 |
| szal | mecheese: make sure you got the path right | 23:53 |
| bazhang | canonin, thats enough | 23:53 |
| exutux | mosx1: or a total reboot .. sudo reboot | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | cyperbg1: fsck | 23:53 |
| mosx1 | thx exu...I just went for a sudo reboot | 23:54 |
| canonin | bazhang: Thanks for ruining my screenie :| | 23:54 |
| === me is now known as Guest6498 | ||
| mecheese | szal ok. I fixed the the path. it now does show nomodeset in results. | 23:54 |

| cyperbg | ActionParsnip thank you | 23:54 |
| mecheese | szal it shows nomodeset in red | 23:54 |
| subminuentisch | can anyone tell me a way to delete the proxy for apt and synaptic | 23:55 |
| sudokill | subminuentisch, isnt that in global system proxy? | 23:55 |
| szal | mecheese: then the most probable culprit for screen blackouts is the connection between gfx card and monitor, analog connections (VGA) tend to be picky when it comes to display modes | 23:55 |
| subminuentisch | nope is empty thats the problem | 23:55 |
| sudokill | subminuentisch, and its using a proxy for the installs /u pdates? | 23:56 |
| mecheese | szal what I want to know is how did it work before. I had it working for a time and then when I reinstalled it just didn't work. | 23:56 |
| subminuentisch | i googled it and found something in apt.conf deleted the proxy in there but that just fixed synaptic | 23:56 |
| edbian | szal: mecheese I disagree. The connection is good during bios post and suddenly bad when the OS starts? Everytime? It's not a physical connection problem. | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | sudokill: huh? | 23:56 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest87903 | ||
| ActionParsnip | sudokill: I suggest you look at: man fsck | 23:57 |
| subminuentisch | yes updates and installs wont work | 23:57 |
| mecheese | edbian i think you're right. like I said it did work at one time. | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | sudokill: there is no foul language there at all. | 23:57 |
| sudokill | ActionParsnip, i was messing around :p | 23:57 |
| edbian | mecheese: Which drivers have you tried? | 23:57 |
| szal | edbian: I never said it is, but for reasons unknown to me, even TFTs have problems w/ some resolution over VGA, while they don't over DVI | 23:57 |
| bazhang | sudokill, wrong channel for it. | 23:57 |
| sudokill | i know | 23:57 |
| * ActionParsnip shrugs | 23:57 | |
| mecheese | just the neuveau one edbian | 23:57 |
| bazhang | sudokill, then why do it. you know the rules of the channel | 23:58 |
| edbian | mecheese: Can you boot the recovery mode? | 23:58 |
| sudokill | :( | 23:58 |
| aeon-ltd | qaswedrftyuiop[ | 23:59 |
| mecheese | edbian I have always used the default driver and it worked (though a few times I had to edit xorg.conf | 23:59 |
