| minus_ | yagoo, Thanks! | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| yagoo | ctl-z doesnt turn it off.. if u want to see list of background apps in bash.. "jobs" shows.. | 00:01 |
| he||phyre | hey everybody | 00:01 |
| minus_ | yagoo, I see. Awesome. | 00:01 |
| yagoo | (ctl-z suspends, application is frozen) .. but if you want to kill if you can use "kill -9 <processid>" for what its worth.. | 00:03 |
| minus_ | yagoo, Is there a way to put programs in the background wihtout suspending them? | 00:03 |
| yagoo | minus_, if u typed ctl-z, you can type "bg %#" (# as for the number from the jobs list) | 00:04 |
| th0r | minus_: bg? | 00:04 |
| minus_ | yagoo, I actually looked in top to see if mencoder was stuck in something. But I guess I didn't look hard enough :P | 00:04 |
| yagoo | (type "help fg" or "help bg" .. fg/bg are bash-builtin commands) | 00:04 |
| minus_ | yagoo, th0r: I'll try that out. | 00:04 |
| yagoo | minus_, i believe u can type "bg <command>" as well... | 00:05 |
| minus_ | Damn.. How have I missed the "help" command. It's like a mini "man" | 00:05 |
| yagoo | minus_, no.. "help" is a bash-only builtin for referencing its builtins | 00:05 |
| yagoo | it's very useful for bash scripters.. (help test) | 00:06 |
| yagoo | man bash is a big wasteful manual.. a monster to decipher | 00:06 |
| minus_ | yagoo, 3653 rows. Now that is something :D | 00:07 |
| minus_ | yagoo, too bad mplayer had 6758 rows :P | 00:08 |
| yagoo | minus_, /usr/share/doc/packagename is also locations where there can be examples for example -- (mencoder package is it?-- /usr/share/doc/mencoder) | 00:08 |
| allowoverride | what is the hotkey/cmd to pull up gnome panel without a mouse? to select with keybrd? i forgot lol thanks! | 00:08 |
| intel_ix | Is there anyone who can tell me how to check if the root.disk file is damaged, and/or how to fix it from windows. | 00:08 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, look up your keyboard shortcuts.. should be in there.. it may be ctl-esc or with superwin key | 00:09 |
| Kopiko | Hi - I have a computer with Ubuntu Server 10.04 running on it with CSF, but weird things are happening. | 00:09 |
| Kopiko | For example, even if I specify port 7465 in UDP_OUT in /etc/csf/csf.conf, it still gets blocked and shows up in | 00:09 |
| Kopiko | ./var/log/messages. | 00:09 |
| Kopiko | Does anyone know why? | 00:09 |
| yagoo | intel_ix, screwn windows.. just boot the ubuntu grub livecd and do an e2fsck | 00:09 |
| allowoverride | yagoo: um, thats on the panel | 00:09 |
| nightrid3r | allowoverride so just explain your mouse doesn't work | 00:10 |
| allowoverride | someone know its for sure, i asked about a year ago lol | 00:10 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, no clue.. maybe look up anything to do with 'accessibility' | 00:10 |
| allowoverride | its a simple hotkey, its like standard, my gawd | 00:10 |
| allowoverride | i just forgot it | 00:10 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, then that's old a year.. something else for sure must of come along the way | 00:10 |
| allowoverride | yagoo: you obviously dont know it, anyone else | 00:11 |
| worstadmin | allowoverride, Love that name | 00:11 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, well X is for mice primarily.. so i dont see how you are expecting anyone to know | 00:11 |
| yagoo | to not use the mouse.. people look into "accessibility" features.. | 00:11 |
| allowoverride | welp, its not fnc-esc lol. thats puts desktop to sleep lolol | 00:12 |
| allowoverride | worstadmin: yours too ;) | 00:12 |
| allowoverride | its from apache conf | 00:12 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, What do you mean by "pull up gnome panel" ? | 00:12 |
| kiichiro | How do I set it up so my xubuntu box doesn't have a login screen and set it up so teamviewer automatically opens upon startup | 00:12 |
| allowoverride | yes minus without a mouse, its my screen is too big lol | 00:12 |
| allowoverride | actually that reminds me, there is also a hotkey for window size something + | 00:13 |
| allowoverride | ugh... i should right this stuff down | 00:13 |
| allowoverride | i used to have a cmd book, but i lost it during last move | 00:13 |
| allowoverride | maybe page up/down | 00:13 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, you're swarming with the wrong things.. you said it was a year ago. Maybe it's not in ubuntu anymore. I'd say you ask in #gnome.. | 00:13 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, Hang on. I'll check if there is a keyboard shortcut somewhere | 00:13 |
| allowoverride | thanks | 00:14 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, Do you have a menubutton on your keyboard? | 00:14 |
| minus_ | should be between alt-gr and right-ctrl | 00:14 |
| allowoverride | its like a standard hotkey, kinda like cntrl-P ya know | 00:14 |
| minus_ | ok | 00:14 |
| allowoverride | gr? | 00:14 |
| allowoverride | greece? | 00:14 |
| allowoverride | heheh | 00:14 |
| grell | hey | 00:15 |

| grell | hi there! | 00:15 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, ctrl-alt-tab? | 00:15 |
| allowoverride | im looking for what pulls up the gnome menu so ican mouse around | 00:15 |
| minus_ | "move between the panel and the desktop" | 00:15 |
| allowoverride | nope | 00:15 |
| allowoverride | that moves between open windows | 00:15 |
| grell | hey someone there knows how to install de phpmychat?! | 00:16 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, You sure? When I press ctrl-alt-tab, I can go to the panel | 00:16 |
| allowoverride | actually so does alt-tab then shirft to go backwards | 00:16 |
| grell | hey someone there knows how to install de phpmychat?! | 00:16 |
| szal | !repeat | grell | 00:16 |

| allowoverride | nope, not me | 00:16 |
| * yagoo thinks allowoverride is asking on how to set "focus" on the panel. | 00:16 | |
| allowoverride | its lke ctrl esc f1 something like that | 00:16 |
| yagoo | Yah there's a shortcut for that.. if you asked the question properly.. | 00:16 |
| allowoverride | with alt--F2 where can i find window for mappings per suggestion earlier | 00:17 |
| grell | Oh well | 00:17 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, alt-d, or maybe ctl-d tapped twice | 00:17 |
| kiichiro | How do I set it up so my xubuntu box doesn't have a login screen and set it up so teamviewer automatically opens upon startup | 00:17 |
| allowoverride | nope that will close a window | 00:17 |
| allowoverride | or shell | 00:17 |
| grell | see you! | 00:17 |
| minus_ | I can at least focus the panel with ctrl-alt-tab | 00:17 |
| allowoverride | good greif | 00:17 |
| allowoverride | ill be back | 00:17 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, look at your keyboard list | 00:17 |
| yagoo | as i said long long long ago | 00:18 |
| minus_ | Though: I'm running JoliOS which is built on Ubuntu | 00:18 |
| allowoverride | yagoo: thats on the friggen panel,,, silly | 00:18 |
| allowoverride | lolol | 00:18 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, can you confirm my belief what you want? | 00:18 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, you want "focus" on the panel or not? | 00:18 |
| allowoverride | for furture ref | 00:18 |
| allowoverride | http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/2289.html | 00:18 |
| minus_ | allowoverride, You could always press alt-f2 and start gnome-control-center | 00:18 |
| yagoo | allowoverride, cuse u sure aren't asking the question properly | 00:19 |
| minus_ | and check your own keyboard binds | 00:19 |
| allowoverride | ok, just so you all know who didnt,,, its alt-F1 try it ;) thats what i wanted | 00:19 |
| allowoverride | im out, l8 | 00:19 |
| minus_ | alt-f1 starts a terminal for me | 00:19 |
| minus_ | that doesn't really "focus" the panel | 00:20 |
| minus_ | o.O | 00:20 |
| yagoo | minus_, i think he was trolling | 00:20 |
| yagoo | lol | 00:20 |
| yagoo | told him twice to check his own keyboard settings | 00:20 |

| Barnabas | jipsy, if you can then see your drives in your bios, you can probably already see them in linux as well | 00:58 |
| Barnabas | only linux does not know how to mount the new second drive | 00:59 |
| jipsy | hmmm you know the path in bios where I can see it? the raid in bios is disabled by the way | 00:59 |
| KM0201 | quittix3: do you ahve your source list open? | 00:59 |

| sputnick | what do you want to test ? samuel ? | 01:01 |
| Barnabas | jipsy, bios'es are quite different from make to make, but look for a menu item called disk or hard disks | 01:01 |
| Manhose | Guys? Is it true you guys have a bot with chat macros for everything? | 01:01 |

| sputnick | RenatoSilva: that's the same for everyone I think | 01:26 |
| eagleserver | BillClinton, is it a .deb or are you compiling from source? | 01:26 |
| BillClinton | .deb, eagleserver | 01:26 |

| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm | 02:03 |
| ctmjr | ender, it hangs after that message? | 02:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | restore | 02:04 |
| ender | it doesnt hant, i can still do commands | 02:04 |
| ender | but it also doesnt proceed to the splash | 02:04 |
| ender | i never had this issue until i inputting my new card today | 02:04 |
| ender | hault* | 02:04 |
| ctmjr | ender, so it just sends you to a terminal prompt? | 02:05 |
| ender | yes | 02:05 |
| ender | just a blank flashing _ | 02:05 |
| Owner | hey Im running the live cd for xubuntu, and was woandering what to type into the boot options to be able to see the names of all users on the partition | 02:05 |

| RenatoSilva | s/asre/as re | 02:08 |
| ender | is there a command to run the splash? | 02:08 |
| ctmjr | ender, startx | 02:09 |
| ctmjr | see what error you get | 02:09 |
| ender | no sudo required? | 02:09 |
| ctmjr | no | 02:09 |
| rww | do not use sudo with startx. | 02:09 |
| ender | nothing happened rww | 02:09 |
| rww | RenatoSilva: just use /etc/skel/.bashrc. They're not different in any way that matters. | 02:09 |
| Derpadong | he might need root access to do startx | 02:10 |
| rww | Derpadong: startx does not require root access. Running sudo startx sometimes has the fun side-effect of breaking the permissions on the dotfiles in ~/ | 02:10 |
| RenatoSilva | rww: ok checcking in natty, it seems root just removes an alert alias and comments some /etc/bash_completion related 'if' | 02:10 |
| Derpadong | just saying | 02:11 |
| ctmjr | ender, do you have a terminal prompt or just a little flashing line | 02:11 |
| ender | flashing line | 02:11 |
| RenatoSilva | rww: I'm about to replace with one from another buddy which is just like I described. Thanks! | 02:11 |
| ctmjr | rww, yes it does | 02:11 |
| rww | ctmjr: What? | 02:11 |
| Derpadong | sudo startx is a way to start x-org files. | 02:12 |
| ctmjr | rww, your comment about running sudo startx | 02:12 |
| rww | "sudo startx" is liable to break things. I recommend we move on before I start kicking people for recommending commands that break things. | 02:13 |
| Derpadong | its the same for arch, xubuntu, ubuntu, etc | 02:13 |
| ender | ok well i am still stuck | 02:13 |
| RenatoSilva | what are default permissions of /root/.bashrc? because afaik mv overwrites permissions too and I just mv'd over that file. I've got a new file now want to adjust permissions | 02:13 |
| ender | clearly my new card is affecting my system, it will not allow me to go to the splash screen from start up | 02:13 |
| rww | RenatoSilva: It doesn't really matter. If you want a suggestion anyway, owner root, group root, permissions 600 | 02:14 |
| RenatoSilva | rww: ok thanks | 02:14 |
| ctmjr | ender, that little flashing line is not a terminal prompt your system is hanging you need to boot into rescue mode and fix it | 02:15 |
| Derpadong | rww: when did sudo startx start breaking stuff? | 02:15 |
| ender | how do i do that ctmjr? | 02:15 |

| quittix3 | KM0201: Sorry to bother again, but what do I have to inter into the terminal to get that text file up to edit the sources? | 02:18 |

| Derpadong | i was about to say that KM0201 lol | 02:19 |
| malv | this new openssh update for 10.04 broke my system | 02:20 |
| malv | something to do with debconf and frontend | 02:20 |
| malv | frontend segfaults making it impossible to finish the openssh upgrade | 02:20 |
| quittix3 | By intering some code into my terminal, it totally destroyed my ubuntu on my hard drive, and it deleted all my stuff in home. All that was there was a file named mythtv. I tried recovering my files but testdisk says they are corrupt | 02:23 |
| ray__ | Hey fellas, I just installed Ubuntu 11 narwal, and when I try to use streamtuner, it disappears, it closes, what is the problem? thanks | 02:23 |
| anadon | hey, how do I manually add a windows entry and how do I find what that entry needs to be? | 02:24 |
| RenatoSilva | my root folder permission is 655, is that right? | 02:25 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: / should be 751 i think | 02:26 |
| quittix3 | KM0201: I edited that file and did what I did last time, I tried installing testdisk and it said could not locate | 02:27 |
| KM0201 | quittix3: then you didn't edit it properly | 02:27 |
| KM0201 | did you type sudo apt-get update | 02:28 |
| KM0201 | to update your source list | 02:28 |
| ctmjr | ender sorry for the delay but i need to go state your problem again and maybe someone else can help you. again am sorry | 02:28 |
| quittix3 | ah yes, i forgot :P | 02:28 |
| KM0201 | if you don't reload yoru source list, it won't find it | 02:28 |
| KM0201 | :) | 02:28 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: it's 755 actually | 02:28 |
| dli | RenaKunisaki, my / is 755 | 02:28 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: dli kk i didn't look was just going off memory | 02:29 |
| celthunder | 755 sounds more right than 655 | 02:29 |
| dli | RenatoSilva, I wonder what happens you chmod / to 655 | 02:30 |
| celthunder | dli: probably not much unless you add -R | 02:31 |
| rww | probably bad things | 02:31 |
| rww | let's save the speculation for a non-support channel :P | 02:31 |
| dli | celthunder, no, with -x for /, you can not open / folder, so, can not open any folder at all, not even chmod to chmod | 02:31 |
| celthunder | dli: supposedly but that goes like saying rm -rf / in theory rm should be deleted pretty fast ... | 02:32 |
| RenatoSilva | dli: I wonder why 755, why allow others to read/execute from root, /root should be totally, recursively, xx0 I think | 02:33 |
| quittix3 | KM0201: I edited the text file right, updated the thing in terminal, and it still wotn let me install testdisk. could I be missing something? | 02:33 |
| dli | celthunder, better not to mention such thing in a support channel. still it's different, since linux uses copy-on-write, so rm itself is no issue | 02:33 |
| KM0201 | quittix3: obviously you are... gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin the contents of that file. | 02:33 |
| KM0201 | !pastebin | quittix3 | 02:33 |
| ubottu | quittix3: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:33 |
| dli | RenaKunisaki, to open a folder, you need 'x' permission | 02:34 |
| RenaKunisaki | dammit RenatoSilv | 02:34 |
| RenaKunisaki | a | 02:34 |
| dli | RenaKunisaki, and all user must be able to open the folder / | 02:34 |
| RenaKunisaki | people keep highlighting me instead of you XP | 02:34 |
| celthunder | dli: yeah but that does'nt stop it from getting rid of stuff you need to remove stuff ( rm was just an example didn't think it through) | 02:34 |
| rww | Alrighty, I think we're done discussing "how do I break my Ubuntu" now, thanks. | 02:34 |
| celthunder | rww: it's easy to break...gotta break to fix :) | 02:35 |
| quittix3 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/646169/ alot of the text seems to be missing from like last time | 02:35 |
| Centallith | ubuntu is actually really fragile. I've broken mine 4 times for different reasons. Kubuntu is surprisingly stable though. | 02:35 |
| RenatoSilva | in short, what should be the permissions of /root, including recursively? I wonder if my Ubuntu got messed after so many upgrades and no fresh install since years | 02:36 |
| celthunder | /root should be 710 i think | 02:37 |
| celthunder | user all execute group nothing for all others | 02:37 |
| rww | 700 or 710 is fine. Again, it doesn't matter much. | 02:37 |
| rww | since you're not using the root user, since #ubuntu doesn't support that configuration, right... :\ | 02:38 |
| quittix3 | When I try to enter: sudo apt-get update, It gives me this: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? (at the end of a bunch of stuff) | 02:39 |
| celthunder | quittix3: do you have a lock file left over or another package manager running? | 02:39 |
| rww | quittix3: You have another package manager running (e.g. synaptic, update-manager, aptitude, apt-get). Close it. | 02:39 |
| dli | quittix3, do you have dpkg running? ps aux|grep 'apt|dpkg' | 02:39 |
| RenatoSilva | for example this is my odd root http://pastie.org/2229563 | 02:40 |
| celthunder | I e-er ort..." | 02:40 |
| celthunder | er oops | 02:40 |
| rww | RenatoSilva: As I attempted to hint above, #ubuntu does not support unlocked root accounts or offer help with them. It appears you have one. Have fun with that. | 02:40 |
| RenatoSilva | rww: I have no idea what is unlocked root accounts, I'm those idiots you know. Besides, I've never touched /root's permissions, so if something is wrong with them, it's because of bug[s] in upgrade processes | 02:42 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: so what's wrong with it far as i saw at a quick glance you gave a few extra permissions but overall it should still work | 02:42 |
| quittix3 | when I enter: sudo apt-get install ubuntu it still wont install it, even though I did everything I was suposed to... | 02:42 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: just worried about the 755 on root itself, and ANY permission at all for 'other' in some stuff | 02:42 |
| quittix3 | this is so random.. it worked a litytle bit ago | 02:42 |
| celthunder | quittix3: apt-get install ubuntu???? apt-get won't work unless you already have ubuntu (or debian/smoe other distro that uses apt-get but not that point) | 02:43 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: should I be fine if I at least chmod /root o-rwx? | 02:43 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: so take off the "other" permissions | 02:44 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: recursively or just on /root as I said? | 02:44 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: yeah.. | 02:44 |
| celthunder | doesn't matter much | 02:44 |
| rww | RenatoSilva: It doesn't matter, given that if /root can't be accessed by other, then nothing inside of /root can. | 02:44 |
| poseidon | Any suggestions for a good mp3 play which isn't made by apple? | 02:44 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: hmmmm.... I suspect it does matter friend... | 02:45 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: how? if other can't open the folder in the first place (changing /root to no permissions to other) they really can't do much in it either...unless you do something stupid like use userdir from apache and turn it on for root too...but that's another issue | 02:45 |
| RenatoSilva | rww, celthunder: that's why I want to touch only /root, being less intrusive, since everything under it will also be inaccessible as rww said | 02:45 |
| RenatoSilva | poseidon: player? | 02:46 |
| kierge | poseidon, tomahawk player uses playlists similar to genius playlists the are automatic playlists based on what you define. it works best on KDE for which it was intended. | 02:46 |
| poseidon | sorry, hardware | 02:46 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||

| poseidon | audio player which plays on it's on. For driving/running | 02:47 |
| poseidon | celthunder: I use mpd :) | 02:47 |
| quittix3 | celthunder: lol. I ment to say testdisk, not ubuntu | 02:47 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: didn't get anything after userdir. So I'm just ok with chmod o-rwx only in /root, right? | 02:47 |
| poseidon | Yea, I'll have to look into an new phone | 02:47 |
| celthunder | poseidon: ok that aside the Sansa Fuse i've heard good things about | 02:47 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: sure | 02:48 |
| celthunder | quittix3: what's the error? | 02:48 |
| quittix3 | celthunder: me... thats what, I was missspelling it\ | 02:48 |
| celthunder | lol well least you got it working now | 02:49 |
| Derpadong | audio players you say? | 02:49 |
| celthunder | poseidon: how much space you need? sdcard? battery life? | 02:49 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: ok thanks friend. Would that make my root a non-"unlocked root accounts", if you ever know what it means? | 02:49 |
| ssfdre38 | how can i comment out Unity from login? | 02:49 |
| RenatoSilva | ssfdre38: comment out? | 02:49 |

| celthunder | RenatoSilva: and no ...it doesn't | 02:49 |
| ssfdre38 | RenatoSilva: i want to get Unity off my system | 02:50 |
| celthunder | ssfdre38: what display manager? | 02:50 |
| celthunder | comment it out from the display manager or delete it? | 02:50 |
| RenatoSilva | ssfdre38: I wanted it too, it's just selecting classic session or something (after you choose/type an user) | 02:50 |
| ssfdre38 | i know but i want to remove it off the system where i dont even see it on the login | 02:51 |
| RenatoSilva | ssfdre38: it seems you can't uninstall Unity, but as I said you can stop using it | 02:51 |
| kierge | ssfdre38, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop then you can remove ubunutu-desktop if you wanted. just switch your DM at login | 02:51 |
| celthunder | ssfdre38: delete it from gnomes scripts there should be a Unity.Desktop file that you can delete somewhere...searching one sec | 02:51 |
| celthunder | er gdm scripts not gnomes whatever ...if you're~ using it | 02:52 |
| RenatoSilva | what's an unlocked root account? | 02:52 |
| === derp is now known as Shaneequa | ||
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: for x? | 02:52 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: one that has a password (any normal person has one...) | 02:52 |
| celthunder | the dumbest thing to do with root is run X from it (or the obvious stupid stuff) | 02:52 |
| rww | !classic | 02:52 |
| 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". | 02:52 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: how did he deduce mine was unlocked? how can he know without looking at my /etc/passwd? | 02:53 |
| celthunder | RenatoSilva: he doesn't...he was guessing because you're using roots home folder... | 02:53 |
| ministerdude | Why does ubuntu suck? Because it's harder then hell to get anything to work right on it | 02:53 |
| kierge | RenatoSilva, your paranoia is getting the best of you | 02:53 |
| quittix3 | is it a bad idea to use testdisk on an ubuntu live cd to copy my files from a deleted partition on a hard drive to my phones memory chip? | 02:54 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: s/passwd/shadow | 02:54 |
| celthunder | ministerdude: it sucks because it has shoddy defaults and gives no choices . | 02:54 |
| RenatoSilva | celthunder: he thought I was using the desktop as root? ah ok, he failed | 02:54 |

| celthunder | Zimsky: screen with no arguements works to open a screen session screen <progname> runs program in a screen session that is then opened...screen -r <session resumes> screen -x connect to an already connected display | 02:56 |
| RenatoSilva | kierge: it wasn't a paranoia dude, actually a bit of yours heh | 02:56 |
| ministerdude | My hardware (iphone) don't work with it | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | Zimsky: The best solution is to have started whatever process you need to watch in a screen session. Are you familiar with screen? | 02:57 |
| rypervenche | ministerdude: Use Windows or iTunes or a VM with Windows. | 02:57 |
| kierge | ministerdude, apple is to blame not ubuntu. | 02:57 |
| Zimsky | Jordan_U: no | 02:57 |
| RenatoSilva | kierge: I wasn't worried, just curious how could he know whether I have a password set for root or not, like is he some kind of magician? :P | 02:57 |
| celthunder | ministerdude: iphone's suck...please do the world a favor and drop it out the window and then run it over a few times | 02:57 |
| Jordan_U | !screen | Zimsky | 02:57 |
| ubottu | Zimsky: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 02:57 |

| quittix3 | I dont really think of ubuntu as "difficult".. I just think of it as annoying because If I want to do one simple thing on ubuntu it takes like a half hour when I could be using windows and it would take me just minutes.. | 02:57 |

| CaptWho | anyone out there have a link for eeebuntu? | 02:57 |
| rww | This is obviously a problem with Ubuntu and not with iPhones. It's inconceivable that they could deliberately be set up by Apple to stop people from being able to sync from them with non-iTunes programs. | 02:57 |

| seangrove | I thought it was perhaps a permissions issue, but I think it's actually a kernel problem | 03:04 |
| seangrove | I don't have modprobe in the container though, so I'm wondering how I can get the container to be able to mount loop devices | 03:05 |

| KM0201 | that should rip a hole in the space time continuum | 03:09 |
| Reikoku | You can't move it there, he probably hard linked it | 03:09 |
| KM0201 | quittix3: even copy, i don't think it should let you do that | 03:09 |
| quittix3 | i used testdisk to copy an older home folder on my hard drive | 03:09 |
| celthunder | same thing you can't copy a folder to a subfolder of itself...you can link it but.. | 03:09 |
| Reikoku | KM0201: I think it hard links it if you try | 03:10 |
| Reikoku | Instead of actually copying it | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 03:10 |
| seangrove | celthunder: do you have the loop module loaded? | 03:10 |
| Reikoku | Can't confirm as I don't have Nautilus installed | 03:10 |
| Reikoku | Haven't used Linux for a while :P | 03:10 |
| quittix3 | lol i cant delete my home because im using a live cd. | 03:10 |
| celthunder | seangrove: of course | 03:11 |
| Reikoku | Oh lol | 03:11 |
| celthunder | seangrove: kernel 2.6.39 | 03:11 |
| seangrove | Yeah, there's something happening in lxc here.. | 03:11 |
| celthunder | seangrove: lxc just makes a chroot no? | 03:12 |
| Reikoku | Umm, so I'm going to blaspheme here but, how portable is unity? :P | 03:12 |
| celthunder | seangrove: try making one without lxc | 03:13 |
| === RtFM is now known as Guest26971 | ||
| rww | Reikoku: what do you mean by "portable"? | 03:13 |
| celthunder | Reikoku: ? i don't think it's usable on a desktop...doesn't look / from what i tried feel too usable for a portable system either | 03:13 |
| seangrove | celthunder: I can do it in the host, but not in the container - it's piggybacking off of the host kernel of course, but I'm getting this: mknod '/dev/loop6' 7:6 060660' failed: Operation not permitted | 03:14 |
| celthunder | though if you mean canyou copy your settings from 1 comp to another type of portable ...yeah sure | 03:14 |
| quittix3 | wow. when you run out of space in ubuntu it gets unstable and freezes up. lovely. | 03:14 |
| Reikoku | rww: I mean, how easy is it to port to another distro/unix-based OS? | 03:14 |
| celthunder | quittix3: don't fill up / ? and i have systems with like 1 MB of free space that have been running for months | 03:14 |
| Reikoku | celthunder: Felt gorgeous on my laptop, but Linux is a bit too power hungry for me to run on there | 03:14 |
| rww | Reikoku: shouldn't be too hard, if your destination supports the current version of compiz | 03:14 |
| Reikoku | I'm running NetBSD, I do have compiz | 03:15 |
| mrdeb | what changes do you think will be in next lts | 03:15 |
| Reikoku | Not sure how current it is :P | 03:15 |
| wolf9s | Morning! | 03:15 |
| celthunder | Reikoku: lol netbsd is usually not SUPER far behind ...comparatively...upstream...yeah usually it's not the most current | 03:16 |
| celthunder | wolf9s: evening | 03:16 |
| rww | mrdeb: The UDS for 12.04 hasn't happened yet, so there's nothing to base speculation on. #ubuntu-offtopic for baseless speculation. | 03:16 |
| wolf9s | ^_^ | 03:16 |
| mrdeb | ok | 03:16 |
| wolf9s | I want to study TCP/IP 。 How? | 03:17 |
| Centallith | But just to be sure Thunderbird AND chrome are both default packages in 11.10 right? Wanted to make sure that wasn't also speculation. | 03:17 |
| celthunder | Centallith: chrome and thunderbird are in the repo's yeah... | 03:17 |
| rww | Centallith: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion (but I believe the answer is "yes thunderbird, no chromium" | 03:17 |
| celthunder | wolf9s: what about it? | 03:17 |
| Reikoku | celthunder: I think it's one of the 0.8.4 compiz builds | 03:18 |
| audreyr | hi, can someone recommend a good rss reader for ubuntu? | 03:18 |
| celthunder | wolf9s: tcp/ip the entire network stack? routing? what about it tcp/ip in itself is kind of useless without the rest around it | 03:18 |
| rww | audreyr: liferea on GNOME, aKregator on KDE, Google Reader on the web | 03:19 |
| pokoko222 | how do i get started with opengl in ubuntu? | 03:19 |
| Reikoku | I like Simple RSS | 03:19 |
| wolf9s | I don't know how to start, or where to start. | 03:19 |
| Kazilla | wolf9s: each computer is given a number. there, you've learnt it | 03:19 |
| rww | audreyr: oh, newsbeuter on command-line | 03:20 |
| celthunder | wolf9s: pick up a networking book ... | 03:20 |
| Reikoku | Kazilla: That doesn't really explain TCP/IP :P | 03:20 |
| celthunder | Kazilla: rofl | 03:20 |
| celthunder | Kazilla: that also describes udp and a bunch of other stuff | 03:20 |
| Reikoku | wolf9s: http://www.w3schools.com/tcpip/default.asp | 03:20 |
| wolf9s | Kazilla: What number? | 03:20 |
| jbermudes | Has anyone ever had their .bashrc file interpret a colon in a path declaration as a literal colon instead of a delimiter? I'm not using an escape character but it's still doing it :( | 03:21 |
| Reikoku | pokoko222: What are you trying to do with OpenGL? | 03:21 |
| audreyr | rww, Reikoku: thanks for the tips. trying liferea now :) | 03:21 |
| celthunder | audreyr: newsbeuter i've heard good things about snownews i've used and isn't terrible | 03:22 |
| pokoko222 | Reikoku i will work through a book on graphics and it uses it | 03:22 |
| h00k | wolf9s: studying TCP/IP isn't an Ubuntu related question, perhaps try a networking channel | 03:22 |
| h00k | !alist | wolf9s | 03:22 |
| h00k | !alis | wolf9s | 03:22 |
| ubottu | wolf9s: 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* | 03:22 |
| Reikoku | pokoko222: You're trying to program for opengl? | 03:22 |
| Reikoku | or you're trying to make it run? :P | 03:22 |
| wolf9s | 3Q everyone. | 03:22 |
| pokoko222 | Reikoku i want to simply use opengl for graphics apps :) | 03:23 |
| audreyr | celthunder: cool, will try those too. I'm curious about if I'd like a command line rss reader | 03:23 |
| pokoko222 | to write graphics stuff what else | 03:23 |
| Reikoku | pokoko222: If you want to write opengl you'll need some hefty books :P | 03:23 |
| Reikoku | If you just want to run stuff it should run natively on either proprietary driver or I believe ati opensource | 03:24 |
| pokoko222 | Reikoku yeah but what library, what do i install on ubuntu | 03:24 |
| pokoko222 | i guess then i should go to windows for this | 03:24 |
| Reikoku | Whichever proprietary video driver should work | 03:24 |
| Reikoku | They install their own implementations of libgl | 03:24 |
| Reikoku | You don't need to go to windows | 03:24 |
| jamescarr | the application launcher will not slide away | 03:25 |
| jamescarr | how can I make it slide away? | 03:26 |
| jamescarr | it is frustrating | 03:26 |
| kroq-gar78 | hey guys. I think my laptop's HDD is dead. Is there any way to check? I'm on an uck-costomized Live Image running off a USB Card reader. can u help please? | 03:26 |
| jamescarr | it obstructs my view | 03:26 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: do you have libreoffice open? | 03:26 |
| jamescarr | no | 03:26 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: are you running 11.04 and Unity? | 03:27 |
| celthunder | kroq-gar78: e2fsck? | 03:27 |
| jamescarr | yes | 03:27 |
| jamescarr | kroq-gar78, yes | 03:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | celthunder: how do I do that? | 03:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: what programs do you have open? I remember libreoffice and 2 other programs cause that problem | 03:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | though I can't remember the names of the other 2 | 03:28 |
| rsyring | Just re-installed nvidia drivers after kernel upgrade, now my second monitor is not detected correctly. Suggestions? | 03:28 |
| kroq-gar78 | celthunder: ok my hdd doesn't even show up when I do "ls /dev/ | grep sd" | 03:30 |
| kroq-gar78 | or in GParted? | 03:30 |
| Reikoku | Sounds phooked :( | 03:30 |
| jamescarr | damn it | 03:30 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: ? | 03:30 |
| kroq-gar78 | Reikoku: as in dead? | 03:30 |
| jamescarr | that app launcher | 03:30 |
| jamescarr | annoys the F out of me | 03:31 |
| klaxian | i did an update today and somehow my package management is now broken. every apt-get command I do gives me something like "update-alternatives: error: alternative link /usr/share/man/man1/nvidia-xconfig.1.gz is already managed by x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf" | 03:31 |
| jamescarr | it will not go away unless I restart X | 03:31 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: ah.... what programs do you have open? | 03:31 |
| Reikoku | kroq-gar78: Sounds like it :S | 03:31 |
| jamescarr | xchat, intelliJ, terminal and gvim | 03:31 |
| klaxian | everything gives me that alternatives error and i can't install or remove anyting | 03:31 |
| klaxian | any ideas? | 03:31 |
| kroq-gar78 | jamescarr: ok, none I have ever encountered... try doing a quick google search: "unity launcher won't hide" | 03:31 |
| Jordan_U | kroq-gar78: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? | 03:31 |
| klaxian | any way i can repair dpkg and/or apt? apt-get -f doesn't help | 03:32 |
| Centallith | klaxian have you checked your software sources in the Ubuntu software center. | 03:32 |
| kroq-gar78 | Jordan_U: sorry for the dumb question, but how do I pastebin? is there a "!pastebin" message that ubottu recognizes here in IRC? | 03:33 |
| kroq-gar78 | !pastebin | kroq-gar78 | 03:33 |
| ubottu | kroq-gar78, please see my private message | 03:33 |
| klaxian | yes. sources are good. i did install nvidia-current from xswat ppa. perhaps that caused the problem? | 03:33 |
| klaxian | tho now i can't remove it, can't change anything | 03:33 |
| klaxian | i tried installing nvidia-current from ubuntu repo and got the same problem | 03:33 |
| klaxian | i tried reinstalling libmesa and got the same error again | 03:34 |
| klaxian | i can't do anything with apt or dpkg without that error | 03:34 |
| kroq-gar78 | Jordan_U: here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/646188/ | 03:34 |
| hylian | anyone know why gnome 3 refuses to let you add programs to your favorites list in 10.04? | 03:35 |
| rww | hylian: GNOME 3 isn't in the official repositories for any current version of Ubuntu, and thus is not supported in #ubuntu. | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | kroq-gar78: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -lu"? | 03:36 |
| hylian | rww, but i didn't have to install it, it is on ubuntu 10.04 vanilla... they have on the distro something they don't support? | 03:37 |
| rww | hylian: GNOME 3 is not on Ubuntu 10.04 vanilla. | 03:37 |
| hylian | rww, all you have to do is type gnome-shell --replace. don't have to download a thing. | 03:37 |
| === Nalo is now known as `_` | ||
| rww | hylian: "gnome-shell" and "GNOME 3" are different things | 03:38 |
| === `_` is now known as Nalo | ||
| hylian | rww, strange, this is a vanilla install, and when i type the command i geta very "gnome 3" ish looking gui. maybe i am getting somehting mixed up here? | 03:39 |
| rww | and in answer to "why doesn't gnome-shell 2.28 let you add programs to your favorites list", I say "I have no idea, but gnome-shell 2.28 is old and from back when gnome-shell was horrible, so don't use it" | 03:39 |
| kroq-gar78 | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/646193/ | 03:39 |
| rww | hylian: GNOME Shell is the default user interface for GNOME 3. The version of gnome-shell in lucid is from GNOME 2.28, when it wasn't default and was also terrible. gnome-shell is also not installed by default in Lucid, though it is in the repositories and thus supported here. | 03:39 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: just for curiosity, run this: dpkg -s gnome-shell | grep Version | 03:39 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: oh nevermnd | 03:40 |
| hylian | kroq-gar78, Version: 2.28.1~git20091125-1ubuntu0.2 | 03:40 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: yeah it's the default from lucid | 03:41 |
| hylian | kroq-gar78, well thanks for the help. hmm. i just wanted to try out gnome 3, since i am not a huge unity fan. | 03:41 |
| Centallith | doesn't sudo apt-get install gnome-session from a recovery console solve all of this or am I missing the point? | 03:41 |
| hylian | Centallith, yeah, i cna get back, but I am not trying too. :) i want to see what gnome 3 is like. | 03:42 |
| Klevi|PC | This is something that should be damn simple but i've never managed to figure it out. How can I execute a desktop shortcut on a computer I'm SSHing into? | 03:42 |
| Centallith | It's nice, I used it for a while hylian. Now I am on kde and loving it. | 03:43 |
| hylian | ok thanks all for letting me pick ur brains! :) | 03:43 |
| hylian | Centallith, if i could somehow get kde3, then maybe. i ran to gnome from kde4 because of how prettified it is. if i could somehow remove all the pretty from kde 4, then i would be happy again. | 03:44 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: unity isn't in 10.04, unless you want to upgrade to 11.04 or 10.10 )netbook) | 03:44 |
| rww | StarSky_1: FloodBot1 is not sentient. | 03:44 |
| hylian | kroq-gar78, yeah, not interested. i like to stay with the lts's. i hate unity, which is why I am trying out gnome 3. | 03:44 |
| Centallith | if you are not looking for pretty then Gnome 3 isn't the answer. It is more prettified than KDE 4. | 03:45 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: ah cool | 03:45 |
| Neoncamouflage | In terms of function over looks, Gnome 3 better than Gnome 2.x? | 03:45 |
| hylian | Centallith, yeah, but i have limited choices here. i am not willing to go lxde, for instance. gnome 2 is here for a finite time only. | 03:45 |
| RenatoSilva | thanks all | 03:45 |
| kroq-gar78 | hylian: there's also xfce4 and kde. I prefer xfce | 03:46 |
| Centallith | hylian have you tried Enlightenment 17? it is not as pretty. | 03:46 |
| hylian | Centallith, yeah, not my first choice either. to be honest the one i hate the least is currently gnome 3. If i could leave it gnome 2 forever, that would be fine with me. | 03:47 |
| rww | wait for Ubuntu 11.10, install GNOME Shell, enable GNOME 3 Fallback | 03:47 |
| Centallith | Yeah, as of right now Gnome 3 is a bad option. Super unstable. Wait for oneric. | 03:48 |
| rww | at which point it will be slightly less super unstable | 03:48 |
| hylian | rww, good idea, but i am gonna wait till 12.04. i like the lts versions the best. | 03:48 |
| rww | that works too | 03:48 |
| hylian | thanks all for heaing me out. | 03:48 |
| * hylian wishes gnome 2 would be picked up by some peeps, and re named so i can use it 4 ever. | 03:49 | |

| rww | !ufw | 03:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 03:55 |

| Chiku|dc | hi I got problem with make install http://www.pastie.org/2229786 | 04:01 |
| LordDragon | hey all | 04:01 |
| LordDragon | i am using ubuntu on my mac. it seems 11.04 has built in HFS filesystem drivers. i can read files and stuff off my mac drive | 04:02 |
| LordDragon | however, some stuff i cant access | 04:02 |
| LordDragon | certain folders are locked | 04:02 |
| LordDragon | how can i access them? | 04:02 |
| LordDragon | i think the last time i went through this, i had to change the user permission number on my ubuntu install partition to make it recognize apple's premission number or smoething | 04:03 |
| Centallith | sudo nautilus and then change permissions. | 04:04 |
| Centallith | Just don't do it to /var | 04:04 |
| xangua | !gksu | Centallith | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Centallith: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 04:04 |
| LordDragon | Centallith, what do i change the permissions on? everything except /var in ubuntu ? | 04:05 |
| Centallith | On EVERYTHING? Well in that case you would need to make your account root. | 04:05 |
| Centallith | You can do so in user account settings. | 04:05 |
| starlon | What tool can I use to check my hard drive for errors? | 04:06 |
| eagleserver | fsck | 04:06 |
| LordDragon | i think last time i rebooted the computer into root, then globally changed the permission level number on my ubuntu partition to match the mac's drive permissions | 04:06 |
| LordDragon | but i dont remeber what number that is | 04:06 |
| eagleserver | starlon, man fsck in terminal | 04:07 |
| starlon | kk | 04:07 |
| kalinka | hi, I'm having problem with ld command, although I have put library path to both /etc/ld.so.conf.d/mylib.conf and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable into .bashrc and run the command sudo ldconfig. ld still cannot find my library | 04:07 |
| kalinka | the library name is libcuda.so | 04:07 |
| === kks is now known as semaj | ||
| kalinka | in /usr/lib/nvidia-current | 04:07 |
| kalinka | I can see it clearly there | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | starlon: Fsck will check the *filesystem*, which may be what you want. smartctrl will check the drive (as in check for hardware problems with the drive). | 04:08 |
| starlon | Oh yeah that's what I want to do; check the hardware for problems. Thanks. | 04:08 |
| starlon | Do I need to run that from the live cd? | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | starlon: No. And if you prefer a GUI you can use "Disk Utility", which comes with Ubuntu. | 04:09 |
| starlon | kk thanks :) | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | starlon: You're welcome :) | 04:09 |
| LordDragon | how can i change the userID on an account from a root shell? whats the command | 04:10 |

| Neoncamouflage | Probably a stupid question, but why do some bash scripts have "done" at the end and others do not? What does this do? | 04:14 |
| rww | Neoncamouflage: "done" is the closing statement of a bash "do" loop. | 04:14 |
| plustax | having an issue. I click skype to open it and use it. The icon with an x in it goes to my taskbar and Im not able to use the program or launch its interface | 04:15 |
| rww | (used with for, while, until, etc.) | 04:15 |
| Neoncamouflage | See, stupid question. :P Thanks rww. | 04:15 |
| RenatoSilva | Neoncamouflage: not sure but done is end of while statement, for example | 04:15 |
| plustax | I tried uninstalling skype and reinstalling to no avail | 04:15 |
| Neoncamouflage | I have one of the scripts up looking at it and there is a do loop in it, so that makes sense. | 04:16 |
| RenatoSilva | Neoncamouflage: you sounded like a single done alone at the end of file out of nothing :P | 04:16 |
| Neoncamouflage | RenatoSilva: That's what I thought they were, I had no idea why people were putting them there. Not very far into bash scripting just yet myself. | 04:17 |
| rww | Neoncamouflage: fyi, #bash is probably more useful for bash questions | 04:17 |
| Neoncamouflage | I didn't know that channel existed, will join now. Thanks. :) | 04:18 |
| plustax | anyone help me? | 04:18 |
| goma | Hello. I'm configuring ufw with gufw and I want to Deny everything Outgoing except HTTP and SSL - how do i do this? | 04:18 |
| nit-wit | plustax, never used skype personally but I assume you can make a launcher | 04:19 |
| nit-wit | plustax, if it is installed corectly. | 04:19 |
| plustax | it is indeed. | 04:19 |
| plustax | I just cant run it | 04:19 |
| nit-wit | plustax, do you know how to make a launcher | 04:20 |
| plustax | yeah I made one | 04:20 |
| plustax | still doesnt work | 04:20 |
| plustax | even opening it from terminal doesnt work | 04:20 |
| plustax | It puts the skype icon in my taskbar but its gray and has an x through it. | 04:20 |
| nit-wit | plustax, is it/usr/bin/skype | 04:20 |

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 04:21 |

| LordDragon | 32 bit i guess then | 04:28 |

| LordDragon | but it seems to show all 12Gb | 04:30 |
| rww | !pae | 04:30 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 04:30 |
| rww | Ubuntu detects RAM size and installs the PAE kernel if it's useful. | 04:30 |

| tripelb | Hi, I found lxdream_0.9.1_i386.deb the Dreamcast emulator on a web page. What is the correct method of installing it? I normally use apt-get | 05:13 |
| Jordan_U | syclopse: You are on a chat network with multiple channels. Right now you are in the channel "#ubuntu", which is for Ubuntu support questions. This is another channel, "#qt", for qt support. To join the channel #qt type "/join #qt" into your client (without the quotes). | 05:14 |
| C_Smith | hey, I can't start Transmission, and I on the System Monitor, I notice Transmission starts up as "Transmission GTK", and I also have a process called Transmission GT that I can't kill (it had been labeled as "Zombie" before I even tried ending the process), is there anything short of relogging that can fix this? | 05:16 |
| C_Smith | I'd prefer not to relog because I'm installing a bunch of software. | 05:17 |
| tertl3 | C_Smith, sudo system-monitor, then kill it | 05:18 |
| C_Smith | ok | 05:18 |

| C_Smith | well, sudo system-monitor does nothing, and sudo gnome-system-monitor brings it up, but only shows the processes that are root. | 05:23 |
| C_Smith | in other words, sudo doesn't fix this, | 05:24 |
| C_Smith | I tried killing it via Terminal naming it's pid, and that did nothing. | 05:24 |
| intlkleinblue | I just reinstalled Evolution after uninstalling it yesterday | 05:24 |
| intlkleinblue | never tried it before, I assumed it was as bloated as it was when I tried it ~10 months ago | 05:25 |
| intlkleinblue | but after looking for alternatives and getting discouraged, I reinstalled it | 05:25 |
| intlkleinblue | however, the whole message thing in the notification area is gone now | 05:25 |
| intlkleinblue | how do I bring it back for Evolution now? | 05:25 |
| m0n | intlkleinblue, did you install evolution-plugins? there should be a notifications/indicator plugin for it. | 05:27 |
| tripelb | what does THIS do? sudo dpkg -i package.deb | 05:27 |

| tripelb | ok mon mOn m0n I want to install ... lxdream_0.9.1_i386.deb .. It's a Dreamcast emulator. [guess everthing runs fine so I'm stepping out.] | 05:29 |
| tripelb | ubottu's bluetooth link does not work | 05:30 |
| ubottu | tripelb: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:30 |
| uRock | shame on ubottu | 05:30 |
| tripelb | oops works the second time | 05:30 |
| tripelb | shame on me | 05:30 |
| uRock | lol | 05:30 |
| tripelb | or ? | 05:30 |
| uRock | WorkForMe(TM) | 05:31 |
| tripelb | how do I install lxdream_0.9.1_i386.deb .. someone on #reddit said do sudo dpkg -i package.deb --- my experience is sudo apt-get ----- so I'm branching out. | 05:32 |
| uRock | the sudo dpkg command looks correct | 05:32 |
| dunbar | what happened when you sudo dpkg -i lxdream_0.9.1_i386.deb? | 05:32 |
| m0n | tripelb, what you would do is sudo dpkg -i lxdream.0.9.1_i386.deb | 05:33 |
| C_Smith | so, I couldn't get sudo gnome-system-monitor to show the transmission-gt process, but when run regularly, the process is still there, any other suggestions? | 05:33 |
| m0n | depending on the installer you may need some extra options but generally that should do it. | 05:33 |
| C_Smith | like I said, I tried killing it via command line, and that didn't do anything. | 05:33 |
| tripelb | ah so.. m0n | 05:33 |
| tripelb | ty m0n | 05:34 |
| m0n | ;) | 05:34 |
| uRock | C_Smith: do you have htop installed | 05:34 |
| C_Smith | not to my knowledge, no. | 05:34 |
| uRock | it is like top, but prettier and makes killing things via CLI much easier | 05:34 |
| uRock | to install it just run sudo apt-get htop | 05:34 |
| m0n | uRock, i've run through that... it has a bluetooth module installed, bluez is installed etc etc, it's just that the bluetooth module does NOT work. Says bluetooth is disabled, click on the turn on bluetooth button it blanks out. | 05:34 |
| C_Smith | well, I'd install it if I didn't have 45 games installing via the software center. | 05:35 |
| m0n | i've read somewhere that the ID for the bluetooth module loads the incorrect (toshiba_bluetooth) module when it should load the ath3k module | 05:35 |
| tripelb | m0n it "cannot access archive" (It's on a webpage not in an archive.) | 05:35 |
| C_Smith | and it's tough to stop that many. | 05:35 |
| uRock | m0n, I own no bluetooth stuffs, so I can't be of much help there | 05:35 |
| m0n | fair enough. *sigh* funny thing is it works perfectly fine in xubuntu.... :( | 05:36 |
| uRock | eek, that is a lot of stuff to have going at the same time in USC | 05:36 |
| C_Smith | 45 packages including mostly games, and the Kubuntu and Xubuntu desktop environments. | 05:36 |
| m0n | tripelb, you will need to save the deb package to your computer | 05:36 |
| m0n | then run the command | 05:36 |
| uRock | C_Smith: do you have a SNickers bar, you aren't going anywhere for a while | 05:36 |
| C_Smith | guess I'll wait till tomorrow, restart, and see if this persists, | 05:36 |
| tripelb | m0n at what location will the dpkg package expect to find the file of interest. Ie where should I put it. | 05:37 |
| m0n | c_smith i find that using cli for installing packages to be MUCH quicker and more descriptive than the software centre gui | 05:37 |
| C_Smith | I know, it's getting late here, so I'll just let it run overnight, hopefully it aint still running that torrent.... kinda doubt it as the process is labeled as zombies. | 05:37 |
| m0n | anywhere.... more than likely save it to your downloads folder | 05:37 |
| C_Smith | I'm not afraid to use command line (if that's what you're talking about) IF I know the package I'm looking for, | 05:38 |
| m0n | then start up terminal, go to your downloads folder and run the package. | 05:38 |
| C_Smith | but for just browsing, I use software center, I just use command line for installing everything else, VB, SBM, etc. | 05:39 |
| m0n | fair enuff C_Smith, if i find a package i like, i generally put it into a text file, and when i rebuild my box i have a recollection of software i like and can quickly do it via CLI | 05:39 |
| * m0n shrugs | 05:39 | |
| C_Smith | same here, | 05:39 |
| C_Smith | sometimes I have to use the net to find the repo if the repo changed, though, but I tend to use apt-get, A LOT. | 05:40 |
| C_Smith | well, I'm off, gonna see if this process persists in not being killable tomorrow. | 05:40 |

| madmn | the user that you made when you installed should be close to root | 06:19 |
| KeLv_MaNu | ah ok | 06:19 |
| madmn | then you can do such commands | 06:19 |
| sloth | I can't find the ip | 06:19 |
| soulis77-SE | madmn: No this is a VPS server set up by a Service Provider. My only way of access is the root at the moment. | 06:19 |
| madmn | and if the need be you can use su do for the stuff you need | 06:19 |
| Autodidactite | sloth, I believe nmap will tell you there computer names, even the OS type | 06:19 |
| sloth | whats the nmap command to list them, if there is | 06:19 |
| KeLv_MaNu | with my router i can view the ip addresses of the pcs that are connected to my network | 06:20 |
| madmn | is this ubuntu box soulis77-SE | 06:20 |
| WarOp | Just curious with ubuntu 10.10 are you still able to configure the login window wallpaper | 06:20 |
| sloth | It does Autodidactite but i can't isolte their IPs | 06:20 |
| Autodidactite | Cool, KeLv_MaNu is it a Netgear? | 06:20 |

| WarOp | I know if you went into Login Window in 8.10 then it'd allow you to install custom login windows | 06:21 |
| sloth | ok, I want to find the ip adress of my brothers computer | 06:21 |
| Autodidactite | Cool KeLv_MaNu, yes I have seen that in D-Link also | 06:21 |
| bullgard4_ | sloth: For example ~$ nmap -sP 192.168.178.0/24 obtains with me the hostnames also. | 06:21 |
| sloth | i' | 06:22 |
| sloth | i'll try it | 06:22 |
| Autodidactite | Can you sit at your brothers computer sloth? | 06:22 |
| sloth | I can, but thats not the point | 06:22 |
| sloth | i want to know how to do it remotely | 06:22 |
| Autodidactite | Sure of course | 06:22 |
| Dulak | I told you how to do it. | 06:23 |
| WarOp | Use a sniffer | 06:23 |
| Dulak | bullgard4_ also gave you a good way to do it | 06:24 |
| bhuey | Flannel: what about command line ? this is a remote machine | 06:24 |
| Flannel | bhuey: See the second link, the serverguide one. | 06:25 |

| ossnoss | Couldn't get my d-link wifi to work at all. Had to plug right in. | 06:28 |
| Autodidactite | That can happen | 06:28 |
| Autodidactite | I have found D-Link to be very buggy | 06:29 |
| m0n | i've found alot of manufacturers to have very buggy linux support | 06:29 |
| m0n | atheros, d-link to name a few.... :P | 06:29 |
| KeLv_MaNu | thats true m0n | 06:29 |

| KeLv_MaNu | hi saikat welcome | 06:31 |
| Autodidactite | Cool ossnoss | 06:31 |
| Autodidactite | I only use Ubuntu Linux nowadays | 06:32 |
| saikat | I have a problem in ubuntu 11.04 | 06:32 |
| Autodidactite | I just got sick of dealing with Windows hoo har | 06:32 |

| saikat | Is there any way to recover the user passwd in ubuntu 11.04? | 06:33 |
| Autodidactite | Not that I am aware of saikat | 06:34 |
| Dulak | saikat: you can boot recovery mode and then change the password, but it'd be really hard to recover the password | 06:34 |
| saikat | i have forgotten the passwd & also not able to log in in single user mode as the menu is in hidden option | 06:34 |
| Autodidactite | saikat, any other accounts on the system? | 06:35 |
| saikat | no | 06:35 |
| Dulak | saikat: hold down left shift as it boots to get the grub menu | 06:35 |
| KeLv_MaNu | log in as root if you know the pass | 06:35 |
| saikat | root user has not created | 06:35 |
| KeLv_MaNu | the root user is always there | 06:36 |
| KeLv_MaNu | i guess | 06:36 |
| sunit | I am trying to run postgres and getting error as Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at /usr/bin/pg_ctlcluster line 63. [fail] | 06:36 |

| Dulak | it's there just locked with no password | 06:36 |
| Autodidactite | I didn't know you could do that KeLv_MaNu. Nice one, I have never had to that | 06:37 |
| terxx | \quit | 06:37 |
| saikat | in recovery mode there i found a option....its root.,...Drop to root shell promt | 06:38 |
| KeLv_MaNu | hehe | 06:38 |
| saikat | i think i can change the passwd now | 06:38 |
| KeLv_MaNu | its like login as admin in windows to erase the user pw | 06:38 |
| Autodidactite | Cool | 06:38 |
| Autodidactite | I must remember this | 06:38 |

| soulis77-SE | When disable the root login, Can I still log in as another user and then thange to root? Or to use su command for root account? | 06:40 |
| KeLv_MaNu | nice saikat ;-) | 06:40 |
| KeLv_MaNu | soulis, i guess you can use su command | 06:40 |
| Blue1 | you prolly want to use su - | 06:41 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: use sudo for everything | 06:41 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: not su | 06:41 |
| KeLv_MaNu | yes sudo | 06:41 |
| KeLv_MaNu | su is for login as super user | 06:41 |
| Blue1 | KeLv_MaNu: yes - but there is a diff between su and su - | 06:42 |
| KeLv_MaNu | i didnt knew that blue | 06:42 |
| Dulak | sudo -i | 06:42 |
| Myrtti | Blue1: and su - is not encouraged either | 06:42 |
| Dulak | not su, not su -, use 'sudo -i' | 06:42 |
| KeLv_MaNu | and the "-i" is for? | 06:43 |
| Dulak | interactive shell | 06:43 |
| al_nz1 | whats wrong with sshfs user@192.168.70.102 -p 443 /mnt/windows ? I get mssing host error? | 06:43 |
| KeLv_MaNu | oohh | 06:43 |
| Dulak | it gives you a properly configured root shell, which su doesn't always do. | 06:44 |
| Blue1 | Dulak: yes | 06:44 |
| soulis77-SE | ok, but I want to disable root login from ssh but still be able to access the account. Can I login as xxxx and the su - to root ? | 06:44 |
| KeLv_MaNu | good to know that blue, thx | 06:44 |
| fips4d | i'm getting this error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/441240/ | 06:44 |
| soulis77-SE | Or will it be locked since i disable root loginb? | 06:44 |
| fips4d | what's the issue? | 06:44 |
| Blue1 | al_nz1: not sure but isn't 443 used by samba? | 06:45 |
| Lasers | fips4d: "The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available" -- and you tried to use Debian package on Ubuntu system. | 06:45 |
| sloth | so... how do i reveal the active ips through a scan? | 06:45 |
| KeLv_MaNu | soulis you can still use the sudo command | 06:45 |
| Dulak | soulis77-SE: if you disable root in sshd_config, you can still be root, you just can't login directly as root. If however you lock root with system tools, you cannot use su, and would only be able to use sudo | 06:46 |
| soulis77-SE | Ok, thanks everyone. I'm disable root login in sshd_config and login as another user and then change to su - whenever needed. | 06:47 |
| soulis77-SE | eeShe6ai! | 06:47 |
| soulis77-SE | is not a good passoword for a root account. Or how many signs do you all use? 10, 15 or more? | 06:48 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: ubuntu doesn't come with root password enabled | 06:49 |
| lonix | soulis77-SE: dont use a root password | 06:49 |
| wildbat | soulis77-SE: why not just sudo -i or -s ~? | 06:49 |
| Dulak | enabling root is just opening an attack vector for no good reason | 06:50 |
| Autodidactite | Yes I agree totally, sudo -i all the way | 06:50 |
| KeLv_MaNu | soulis you can use the same pw of your user account | 06:50 |
| KeLv_MaNu | if you want | 06:50 |
| Autodidactite | Yes it is very easy once you know how | 06:50 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: that's very horrible advice | 06:51 |
| KeLv_MaNu | well its better than not assign a pw at all | 06:51 |
| Autodidactite | What? | 06:51 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: just because it's less crappy than another option isn't a good reason to give 'less crappy' advice. | 06:52 |
| soulis77-SE | hey i changed it to 20 characters and then user account is different. | 06:52 |
| KeLv_MaNu | haha | 06:52 |
| soulis77-SE | And the root will be disabled when I set up some more stuff on the server. | 06:52 |
| Autodidactite | I thought you people were talking about doing sudo or sudo -i | 06:52 |
| KeLv_MaNu | just saying | 06:52 |

| fips4d | Lasers: no, vice versa, actually...ubuntu packages on a debian system... | 06:54 |
| Autodidactite | bullgard4, have you tried to search engine it? | 06:54 |
| fips4d | Lasers: are you able to retrieve this key? | 06:54 |
| lonix | what was the battery info command again ? | 06:55 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: please stop giving bad advice | 06:55 |
| Lasers | fips4d: No. I didn't bother to look for it. >_> | 06:55 |
| Autodidactite | Was there mention of enabling the root account? | 06:55 |
| Dulak | yes | 06:56 |
| KeLv_MaNu | i just want to keep it simple | 06:56 |
| bullgard4_ | Autodidactite: If you had a closer look at the problem you would have seen that this problem is not amenable to googleing. | 06:56 |
| tuxx- | lonix: acpi -b | 06:56 |
| Autodidactite | Yes the mysterious folder, I was just checking your process so far | 06:57 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: it's bad advice, if a password is compromised, regardless of how good it is, you lost 2 accounts, including root, for the price of 1 password. It's just not a good idea. | 06:57 |
| KeLv_MaNu | i know that risk | 06:57 |
| lonix | tuxx-: thanks mate | 06:57 |
| Autodidactite | Why not just use sudo and sudo -i? | 06:57 |
| tuxx- | monday mornings >_> | 06:58 |
| lollab | hello, I mounted an external harddrive through smbmount, but arabic characters are showed with ???? marks, anybody can help? | 06:58 |
| tuxx- | my head feels like its gonna explode | 06:58 |
| tuxx- | i hope it doesnt | 06:58 |
| Autodidactite | lollab sounds like corruption to me. | 06:58 |
| KeLv_MaNu | a good advice? use 2 different pw with numbers, letters and symbols | 06:59 |
| Lasers | Or leave root with random password. Use sudo -i for everything. | 06:59 |
| wildbat | lollab: smbmoun to mount external HDD?~ you mean windows share right? | 06:59 |
| Autodidactite | Don't have the root account enabled at all? | 06:59 |
| lollab | wildbat, yes the harddrive exports data via windows share | 06:59 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: that's alright, but the best advice is to leave root locked and use sudo -i to get a root shell when you need it | 07:00 |
| lollab | Autodidactite, no, I don't think so, I see english characters normally | 07:00 |
| KeLv_MaNu | that can be a better choice | 07:00 |
| lollab | wildbat, Autodidactite file names with arabic names seen as ????.doc | 07:00 |
| wildbat | lollab: you didn't set the character set | 07:01 |
| Autodidactite | lollab, then I would say that there is some sort of corruption going on. | 07:01 |
| Dulak | lollab: that's a codepage issue, you need to set the character set correctly | 07:01 |
| KeLv_MaNu | but if you forgot the user pw, logining as root could help when you want to recover or erase the forgotten pw | 07:01 |
| rahul_ | currently I am using ubuntu 11.04, is there any way I can downgrade it to 10.10 without formatting my Hard Disk | 07:02 |
| Autodidactite | Very true KeLv_MaNu, good point | 07:02 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: you boot recovery mode for that, passwordless root access. It's just better to leave root locked. | 07:02 |
| Lasers | !downgrade | rahul_ | 07:02 |
| ubottu | rahul_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 07:02 |
| wildbat | lollab: mount with mount option "iocharset=utf8" | 07:03 |
| KeLv_MaNu | root access without pw? | 07:03 |
| Lasers | rahul_: Use 10.04 LTS | 07:03 |
| kierge | anyone have experience with acidrip ? i just encoded a movie but there was no video output. i selected xvid and set abr:br=256 for sound. | 07:03 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : what do you mean by that? | 07:03 |
| Lasers | kierge: Handbrake works well for me. | 07:03 |
| kierge | or can anyone recommend a easy way to rip to xvid retail dvds from ubuntu ? | 07:03 |
| Dulak | rahul_: not really, though you can save your prefs by backing up your home dir before you wipe it. And keep /home on a seperate partition to make it a much easier thing to do in the future | 07:03 |
| kierge | Lasers, handbrake no longer writes to avi in its latest versions | 07:04 |
| Lasers | rahul_: In other words, you can't downgrade. Just backup /home/rahul/ and /etc/ | 07:04 |
| saikat | Hi all | 07:04 |
| lollab | wildbat, oh thank you, I seen this in the man page, but didn't know what iocharset | 07:04 |
| lollab | wildbat, let me try , few mins | 07:04 |
| saikat | I have a question | 07:04 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : why should I backup /etc/ | 07:04 |
| Lasers | kierge: Start using mkv? | 07:04 |
| kierge | i could do that. what would i use for mkv ? | 07:05 |
| os_ | Which port does Evolution mail use for sending mails via smtp.gmail.com by default? | 07:05 |
| saikat | How to install Tamil Language pack in ubuntu 11.04 | 07:05 |
| kierge | need an easy solution | 07:05 |
| Lasers | rahul_: You don't have to -- but it won't hurt. It's only 10MB at most. Your systemwide settings. | 07:05 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: yes, recovery mode boots a single user root shell, without a password. The idea is that if someone has physical access to the machine, you are boned without encryption anyways. | 07:05 |
| Lasers | kierge: What do you mean? Easy solution? Most computers with VLC can run MKV just fine. | 07:05 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : okay. thanks | 07:05 |
| Dulak | mp4 runs much better for me, vlc mkv support isn't awesome yet | 07:06 |
| Lasers | rahul_: /etc/apt/sources.list (and among many things) are under /etc/ -- Sometimes we make changes and forget to keep them. | 07:06 |
| KeLv_MaNu | at least physical access is required | 07:06 |
| os_ | Can someone please suggest how can I find the default port being used by Evolution for sending mails | 07:06 |
| kierge | Lasers i meant the encoding | 07:06 |
| Dulak | i'm on a netbook though, on a good cpu you prolly wouldn't notice the difference | 07:06 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : thats why it is necessary? | 07:06 |
| KeLv_MaNu | but isnt secure at all | 07:06 |
| Autodidactite | I have recently changed my video player preference from VLC back to Movie Player | 07:06 |
| Dulak | os_: sending mail is port 25 or 587 for email | 07:07 |
| mojz | hello i dont know how to set permissions for ftp clients | 07:07 |
| Myrtti | os_: depends on your email provider, smtp uses 25 | 07:07 |
| lollab | wildbat, unfortunately, didn't work out | 07:07 |
| trevorj | Isn't there a package that puts /etc in a versioning system of sorts? | 07:07 |
| lollab | wildbat, the command accepted however | 07:07 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: it's not a big deal, if they boot a livecd they can just mount the hdd and have root access anyways. | 07:07 |
| trevorj | I remember a project to do such and I remember there being a package for it that was dead easy to use | 07:08 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: but you can encrypt the data on disk that is sensitive, for level of protection against physical access. | 07:08 |
| Lasers | rahul_: Necessary or not. It's an option. I mean, you don't have to back up your home directory too. -- But you want to. It's up to you. | 07:08 |
| lollab | wildbat, this is the command: smbmount //192.168.1.253/users /media/HD_users/ -o username=xyz,password=abc,iocharset=utf8 | 07:08 |
| os_ | Well, if I don't give any port the mails are sent just fine to my id on gmail.com. But if i set the port to 25, 587 or 465 the sending mail fails. | 07:08 |
| KeLv_MaNu | true | 07:08 |
| wildbat | lollab: what version of windows you use ~? you may have to try other codepages. | 07:08 |
| os_ | the server being used is smtp.gmail.com | 07:08 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : I have got about 150+GB data in my home directory and I dont wanna lose it | 07:09 |
| Viking667 | 'llo. does anyone have any issues when they ping www.google.com? My Ubuntu machines (natty) all seem to wait for five seconds between each ping reply...yet if I ping the IP directly, I get responses every second, like normal. | 07:09 |
| pratz | whats the best pdf writer for linux ?? | 07:09 |
| Viking667 | hm. I use Openoffice, probably LibreOffice would do the same. | 07:09 |
| Dulak | os_: outbound email is typically blocked by residential isps, I'm guessing it's maybe using port 80, but that's kinda weird | 07:09 |
| KeLv_MaNu | the pws are encrypted and saved in a database file, right? | 07:09 |
| lollab | wildbat, the harddrive doens't run windows, its an external disk with network interface and people just get into share and find files. I'm trying to mount in order to copy the files to my system | 07:10 |
| Dulak | pratz: you can print to pdf from any application, so 'best' is kinda hard to define. | 07:10 |
| Lasers | rahul_: Wow. Back them up. I generally keep hard drives separated so reinstalling any OS is relatively easy for me. :) | 07:10 |
| Dulak | KeLv_MaNu: they are hashed, not encrypted, but yes | 07:10 |
| KeLv_MaNu | oh ok | 07:11 |

| wildbat | lollab: can't gnome nautilus automount it ? | 07:11 |
| Viking667 | pratz: what are you wanting to put into the pdf writer? text? Pictures? html? | 07:11 |
| Dulak | pratz: hit print, choose 'print to file' then 'pdf'. Pdf written. | 07:11 |
| lollab | wildbat, actually no gnome installed , I have ubuntu server | 07:12 |
| robinsch | I want something | 07:12 |
| pratz | Viking667: almost all of that | 07:12 |
| lollab | wildbat, do you suggest to install one? | 07:12 |
| os_ | with port 587 i get 'connection reset by peer' error. Is is coz my ISP is doing something fishy here.. :-/ | 07:12 |
| Lasers | rahul_: Meanwhile, use 11.04 until you have something in place. I guess. I'd recommend you to use multiple hard drives as to keep OS and 150GB~ data of personal consumption separated. :) | 07:12 |
| Autodidactite | So do I robinsch | 07:12 |
| robinsch | sorry, wrong window | 07:12 |
| Dulak | pratz: you can do that from just about any application in linux, so the app you use depends on what you want in the pdf | 07:12 |
| Viking667 | Dulak: what apps support that? I haven't seen a "printer driver" that outputs pdf. | 07:13 |
| KeLv_MaNu | Someone read about Ubuntu apps running on webOS HP Touchpad? | 07:13 |
| Dulak | Viking667: it's been built into cups for about 7 years now. | 07:13 |
| Lasers | Viking667: Just print something. You'll see it there. "Ctrl + P" Select PDF. | 07:13 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : do you know any good themes 11.04? | 07:13 |
| Viking667 | weird... I wasn't aware cups had that by default. | 07:13 |
| Lasers | Viking667: "Save to file" -- Something. I'm not quite sure. :) | 07:13 |
| Dulak | Yeah it's nifty. | 07:13 |
| Viking667 | ... given I come from the lpd era, it's been ... a while. | 07:13 |

| Juozas | os_ have you opened the port in router if you have one | 07:14 |
| rahul_ | Lasers : can you tell me from where I can download it? | 07:14 |
| os_ | Juozas: oh thanks for the pointer. Lemme check it out. | 07:14 |
| Dulak | pratz: pdf is not supposed to be an editable file. It's a digital printout, not an editable document. | 07:14 |

| YankDownUnder | Voting, In all actuality, you'd want to repartition and reformat the drive - as long as you've gotten all the data off of it... | 07:31 |

| Voting | YankDownUnder: yes, it is a new drive. Nothing on it I care about. | 07:31 |

| nkh | Is there any repo to add and apt-get it to do all? I also need g++ to be the same version | 07:38 |

| Voting | llutz_: HOW should I do the partioning? I'm trying to do it w/ gparted and the devices menu still does not have the /deev/sdb1 device in there. | 07:42 |
| llutz_ | Voting: use fdisk | 07:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Right oh. So, do: fdisk /dev/sdb => and then you can type "d" to delete the partition => it will show you the partitions. Then you can type "w" to write the partition table (this will be an empty partition now), and "q" to quit fdisk. At this point, you should be able to run gParted and actually SEE the device...if not, then we can use fdisk again to create a partition and then format it after that, eh? | 07:42 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: THANKS! | 07:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Roger that. | 07:43 |
| llutz_ | Voting: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb "t" to change type of sdb1 to "83" | 07:43 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: sadly, I'm stupid about disk partioning so I was hoping to do it all in a graphical UI. | 07:43 |

| ghufran | hi. is there a way to get some of the applets from older versions back? like the inhibiter applet .. or force quit applet .. | 07:43 |

| llutz_ | Voting: "w" "q" done, then "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 " | 07:43 |
| flexy | nkh: don't know about that. | 07:44 |
| llutz_ | Voting: err* "sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/sdb1 " | 07:44 |
| nkh | flexy: Thanks | 07:44 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: should I start with sudo fdisk /dev/sdb "t" ? | 07:44 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, No. Just do as I suggested. "d" for delete, then partition "1". Then "w" (write) and "q" to quit. Then fire up gParted and see what you can see. IF gParted doesn't see it, we'll use fdisk to create a new partition, eh? | 07:45 |

| Voting | llutz_: you are most helpful! | 08:18 |
| lonix | kz3: did you search for 7z in software center ? | 08:18 |
| Lasers | Voting: More than an hour, I'd imagine! :) | 08:18 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: I might fall asleep. I tis 4:18 in NYC. | 08:18 |
| kz3 | lonix : yes | 08:19 |
| lonix | kz3: good then it will work niceliy | 08:19 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, NO ONE sleeps in NYC mate...you must be from Jersey. ;) | 08:19 |
| shiyang | hi | 08:19 |
| nmaxchat | hello. I have a question. First of all, please understand I am NOT a techie and that many technical answers are over my head. I want to know if upgrading from Lucid Lynx 10.04 to 10.11 would solve a number of bugs I get on 10.04. I don't hink I want to upgrade to 11.04 as I read it remains unstable compared to win 7 | 08:19 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: well, don't sleep much... | 08:19 |
| kz3 | lonix : its working nicely | 08:20 |
| shiyang | liuxiaoxiang | 08:20 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: but, just in case you guys are not around when it DOES finish... | 08:20 |
| lonix | nmaxchat: First of all, there is noe version called 10.11 its 10.10, what bugs are you experiencing | 08:20 |
| Voting | what do I do next? | 08:20 |
| Lasers | nmaxchat: If you're NOT a techie as you so claim, you might want to stay on 10.04 LTS. Will it solve a number of bugs? Yes -- but is it your bugs? We don't know. | 08:20 |
| Voting | llutz_: What do you THINK I will need to do to finish the rest of the work, post creating inodes? | 08:21 |
| tyl | thanks guys it looks like its working | 08:21 |
| lonix | kz3: good | 08:22 |
| llutz_ | Voting: just use the drive? | 08:22 |
| alazare619 | the 10.04 i855 problem is really a nussance its kinda annoying...they really need to do something about i855 intel chip drivers in ubuntu... | 08:22 |
| nmaxchat | lonix, First I have not been able to print recently w/my HP 1018. Then When I log in, after the log in screen I get a window: A program is still running Power manager and my mouse does not work. Thirdly, half the time my shutdown button is greyed out. | 08:22 |
| Voting | llutz_: Oh, that's it? It should auto-mount when I stick it into an ubuntu machine? | 08:22 |
| Rouse | how to develop the qt skills ? | 08:23 |
| iszak | Does anyone recommend a web based snmp client? | 08:23 |
| llutz_ | Voting: it should, it might have permission problems as it holds an unix-fs. "sudo chown -R you:you /media/blah" afte rmounting, if you want YOU to have full access | 08:23 |
| nmaxchat | Lasers, I had been happy w/ Linux but I still find it lacks some features I want that may be in a more recent version. | 08:24 |
| crackerjackz | say i ssh into a another computer.. isn't there a way to get the program to render on my screen instead? | 08:25 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz:use ssh -X | 08:26 |
| Lasers | nmaxchat: Such as? | 08:26 |
| crackerjackz | llutz, ssh -X username@domain? | 08:26 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: right | 08:26 |
| Lasers | ssh -Y? | 08:26 |
| crackerjackz | llutz, ty :) | 08:26 |
| Lasers | nmaxchat: Well -- If you don't mind occasional bugs and glitches, the experiences on 10.04 and 10.10 is pretty similar with several changes. However, 11.04 is the whole different ballpark. | 08:27 |
| nmaxchat | Lasers, I did read that it was not super stable | 08:28 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: btw it's user@host not @domain </nitpick> ;) | 08:28 |
| Kidlike_ | hello | 08:28 |
| crackerjackz | llutz, i'll make a mental note of that ty.. | 08:28 |
| Lasers | nmaxchat: It's up to you. It varies for every person (and their machines!) | 08:28 |
| kutumbaba | Where can I find good ol' QDesign Music decoder? Btw the upcoming ubuntu really needs a better player than banshee. Just sayin | 08:28 |
| Kidlike_ | does anyone here know about kernel messages ? | 08:28 |
| nmaxchat | Lasers, I dont like MS, but I need a stable system. My PC is my "wheelchair" fir my ADHD | 08:28 |
| kz3 | can I uninstall unity from ubuntu 11.04? | 08:28 |
| Da|Mummy | how do i figure out if a usb device ive got plugged in is usb1.1 or usb2? | 08:29 |
| llutz_ | kz3: just don't use it | 08:29 |
| crackerjackz | llutz, can you make any sense of this http://pastebin.com/MczbAEEk | 08:29 |
| rww | !classic | kz3 | 08:29 |
| ubottu | kz3: 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". | 08:29 |
| nmaxchat | Lasers, IF I upgrade to 11.04, would it solve my bugs which I posted earlier ? | 08:29 |
| Rouse | tell me some c++ channels | 08:29 |
| gry2 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6973850&postcount=4 worked. What is the nature of the problem? | 08:30 |
| gry2 | Rouse: ##C++ | 08:30 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: sudo won't work with ssh -X, use "sux" | 08:30 |
| ikonia | Rouse: freenode.net lists channels | 08:30 |
| blivori | hi | 08:30 |
| gry2 | Rouse: /msg alis help list | 08:30 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: not sure, "ssh -Y " as Lasers mentioned, might help in that case | 08:31 |
| blivori | Is it possible to make a folder on a server running ubuntu read only? (a user accessing the system cannot copy,move or delete a file) | 08:31 |
| gry2 | blivori: hi | 08:31 |
| gry2 | !permissions | blivori | 08:31 |
| ubottu | blivori: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 08:31 |
| Kidlike_ | does anyone know a good room for linux administration ? | 08:31 |
| ikonia | blivori: sure make it owned by root and set the permissions to read only access | 08:31 |
| gry2 | Kidlike_, here too | 08:31 |
| blivori | gry2: Yes but I only want the users accessing the servers to read-only | 08:31 |
| ikonia | Kidlike_: freenode.net - read the channel list | 08:31 |
| Voting | llutz_: If it does not auto mount, I can use the mount command I suppose? (mount *Always* confuses me...) | 08:31 |
| Kidlike_ | well I could ask here too.. but I think it's a bit hardcore :) | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kidlike_: are you using ubuntu ? | 08:32 |
| Kidlike_ | no :/ | 08:32 |
| llutz_ | Voting: yes, "sudo mkdir /media/bigdrive && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/bigdrive" | 08:32 |
| ikonia | Kidlike_: ok - then it's no place in this channel | 08:32 |
| blivori | ubottu: It's an intranet server running ubuntu - Employees need to read PDF files but I need to restrict usage.. as in I don't want them to copy the files to their own PC, delete them or move them but they can read them and open them | 08:32 |
| ubottu | blivori: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:32 |
| llutz_ | Voting: "mkdir" only needed once to create the mountpoint | 08:32 |
| blivori | gry2: It's an intranet server running ubuntu - Employees need to read PDF files but I need to restrict usage.. as in I don't want them to copy the files to their own PC, delete them or move them but they can read them and open them | 08:33 |
| ikonia | blivori: you can't stop them copying it to their PC as that is read access | 08:33 |
| gry2 | blivori: Permissions can do that | 08:33 |
| blivori | ikonia: Any solution on how to solve the problem then? lol | 08:33 |
| blivori | gry2: is there any way in linux on how to do it? | 08:33 |
| llutz_ | gry2: permissions CAN'T do that | 08:33 |
| ikonia | well I'm keen to hear what gry2 solution is | 08:33 |
| ikonia | apparntly permissions can do it, | 08:34 |
| blivori | gry2: how? | 08:34 |
| Voting | llutz_: THANKS!! YankDownUnder: THANKS!!! | 08:34 |
| gry2 | blivori, I'm just chmod and chown it like you need, the permissions page explains how to do that | 08:34 |
| blivori | ok i will give them a look. thanks | 08:34 |
| gry2 | yw | 08:35 |
| ikonia | gry2: how will that stop them copying it to their own PC | 08:35 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Um...did it work? | 08:35 |
| ikonia | blivori: that won't stop them copying it to their own PC | 08:35 |
| kz3 | can I use metacity themes on ubuntu 11.04? | 08:35 |
| gry2 | ikonia: it won't, they'd be able to edit the files, adobe pdf technology has ways to make files read only then | 08:35 |
| crackerjackz | llutz_, this is with ssh -Y http://pastebin.com/4zCr9qV0 | 08:35 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, 11.04 doesn't use Metacity | 08:35 |
| blivori | ikonia: I know.. I had already looked into permissions but they can still copy them | 08:35 |
| ikonia | blivori: you won't be able to do what you want with raw permissions | 08:36 |
| kz3 | YankDownUnder : cant I install it? | 08:36 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, Short answer: No. | 08:36 |
| blivori | ikonia: any idea on how to do it then? | 08:36 |
| ikonia | blivori: gry2 was wrong, hence why he's just quit | 08:36 |
| kz3 | :( | 08:36 |
| rubyy | hey bros, i have installed kubuntu. and on first boot. it crashed (gets held with a black screen) .. it happens before the big K icon is loaded. help ? | 08:36 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, Wait - sorry - you're running "Classic Desktop", right? | 08:36 |
| kz3 | yes | 08:36 |
| wildbat | blivori: when i can read it i can copy it ` | 08:36 |
| ikonia | blivori: that's really tricky, I'm thinking some group policy on the clients side (assuming the clients are windows) but I honestly don't know | 08:36 |
| blivori | ikonia: ok thanks | 08:37 |
| blivori | wildbat: I know.. that's why I'm looking for help :P | 08:37 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, Mate, so sorry - yeah, cuz that's Gnome2 - so yes, you can use Metacity themes (put them in your ~/.themes directory) | 08:37 |
| kz3 | where will i find that directory? | 08:37 |
| blivori | ikonia: maybe some kind of linux firewall on the server side could do that? like restrict uploading of files? | 08:38 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: just don't use GUI-stuff :) sux is not a sudo-replacement, its a "su" which sets x-env correct. so you have to "sudo sux" on the remote host | 08:38 |
| ikonia | blivori: nah, that's not going to do anything, it will have to be a client side policy/restriction | 08:38 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, It's in your "Home" directory => if you don't see it, you can set Nautilus to see "hidden files and folders" | 08:39 |
| YankDownUnder | kz3, ...and if you don't have it, you can create it. | 08:39 |
| kutumbaba | Ok I'm leavin. Buhbye all. | 08:39 |
| blivori | ikonia: hmmm.. ok thanks | 08:39 |
| * rubyy waits for help\ | 08:39 | |
| crackerjackz | llutz, yah but what if i want to use GUI stuff? | 08:40 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: try the second part of my last line | 08:40 |
| fabzor3 | hello | 08:40 |
| fabzor3 | i am having trouble with r1q2 in ubuntu | 08:41 |
| rubyy | hurrrr.. | 08:41 |
| fabzor3 | it says /dev/dsp cannot restart | 08:41 |
| crackerjackz | llutz, run sudo sux from the ssh session or physically go to the host computer and run sudo sux? | 08:41 |
| ikonia | rubyy: can you please wait quietly | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: from ssh session | 08:41 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: just finished making iNodes! | 08:41 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Right oh. Go get a bagel and smile. | 08:42 |
| crackerjackz | llutz_, i get the same error | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: no idea then, sorry | 08:42 |
| rubyy | ikonia if you say please. sure | 08:42 |
| fabzor3 | /dev/dsp: Bad file descriptor | 08:42 |
| fabzor3 | Could not reset /dev/dsp | 08:42 |
| fabzor3 | <-- what does this mean? | 08:42 |
| crackerjackz | llutz_, does sux have to be on both computers? | 08:42 |
| llutz_ | crackerjackz: nope | 08:42 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: cut the antisemitic humor :-) and tell me about that "checking to see if the alignment is correct" thing, please? Is that the next thing I should do? | 08:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Wasn't a joke my friend - I've spent heaps time in NYC years ago...heaps...meanwhile, if you run gparted on that drive you should be able to check for errors (if there really are any) | 08:44 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: avoiding wheat myself... brb | 08:45 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, ;) | 08:45 |
| fabzor3 | yeah palimest is a cool app YankDownUnder | 08:45 |
| === ryan is now known as Guest62294 | ||
| fabzor3 | or palimsest or whatever its called | 08:46 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: Still don't see "/dev/sdb" in gparted's menu of devices. | 08:47 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, Ok...so the drive has been formatted...and we're sure of that now...so, what you might do is to remove the drive, wait a few seconds, then plug it in and see 1.) does it show up on the desktop and 2.) can gParted see it.....? | 08:48 |
| YankDownUnder | fabzor3, Um...is it about the Archimedes "Palimpsest"? | 08:53 |
| fabzor3 | its the name for the gnome disk tool in the command line | 08:53 |
| fabzor3 | palimpsest | 08:54 |
| Voting | YankDownUnder: it does not seem to automount and no, gparted does not seem to see it. Should I try llutz_ suggstion of creating a mount point and mounting it? | 08:54 |
| YankDownUnder | fabzor3, Oh, right oh...thought it was a referral to the document that they've been "de-coding" for years from Archimedes... ;) | 08:54 |
| YankDownUnder | Voting, That's always a good go. (Try just creating a dir under /media, and mounting it there) | 08:55 |
| JoAnneThrax | Hi, #ubuntuans. I just installed a new ubuntu system on this box, and everything seems smashing except that my computer seems confused about the size of my monitor. | 08:55 |
| bobweaver | anyone know hoe to make the desktop widget come back the one that is there right after install on kubunntu 10.10 | 08:55 |
| JoAnneThrax | Everything displayed is a bit too stretched horizontally/squeezed vertically... | 08:55 |
| Nephro | JoAnneThrax, laptop? | 08:55 |
| JoAnneThrax | Nephro: Yes. | 08:55 |
| Nephro | JoAnneThrax, sandy bridge architecture? | 08:55 |
| wolf9s | What is the different between Process and Thread in Linux? | 08:55 |
| JoAnneThrax | Nephro: I don't know what that means... | 08:56 |
| Nephro | JoAnneThrax, is your laptop very new and carries an intel i5 processor on it? | 08:56 |
| YankDownUnder | "Sandy Bridge" is an architecture for graphics on the motherboard. | 08:56 |
| JoAnneThrax | Nephro: Not "very" new...it's a year or two old. | 08:57 |
| JoAnneThrax | I'm unsure what the processor is... | 08:57 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, Have you tried beating it with a stick yet? (Joking) => you might want to check for the proper video driver. | 08:58 |
| Nephro | The newest ubuntu is pretty smart I must admit, only this os was capable of identifying and properly running drivers for my sandy bridge, so I think it should work with anything older | 08:59 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder: So...how do I go about that? | 09:00 |
| soulis77-SE | When I as root creates an user with adduser xxxxx does that user get root priviliges by default? | 09:01 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: no | 09:01 |
| llutz_ | soulis77-SE: no | 09:01 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, I'm not happy nor familiar with 11.04, so you might want to look somewhere in the System Settings for "Hardware Drivers" => see if the proper video driver is installed mate. | 09:01 |
| soulis77-SE | I have created an acount, I could log on to the account but then I did: PermitRootLogin No in sshd_config and now I can't even access the ssh prompt. | 09:02 |
| soulis77-SE | To me that don't seem right. | 09:02 |
| Voting | llutz_: was able to mount it, make myself the owner of all the files, etc. now I can create files on this thing. gparted STILL does not seem to see it. No idea of I have allignment problems. | 09:03 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder: I'm not using 11.04; I'm using 10.04.2 | 09:03 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder: Also, I'm not familiar with this "system settings" thing | 09:04 |
| m0n | JoAnneThrax, try using Jockey to see if there's proprietary drivers for it. If not you can try using xorg-edgers open source drivers | 09:04 |
| llutz_ | Voting: "alignment" is just a performance thingy. i don't know gparted, can't ssay why i won't see the drive. i'd just stick with other tools | 09:04 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, Awesome. Right. Then click SYSTEM => ADMINISTRATION => ADDITIONAL DRIVERS | 09:04 |
| JoAnneThrax | m0n: Jockey? | 09:04 |
| m0n | See what YankDownUnder said ;) | 09:05 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder: Awesome. Right. I'm not using one of the standard guis. | 09:05 |
| m0n | Additional Drivers is jockey. | 09:05 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, Roger that. | 09:05 |
| rsv | an app checks for ubuntu 10.04. how to make it believe that it is running in 10.04. if my actual installation is 10.10 | 09:05 |
| JoAnneThrax | ...so I'm looking for the usual command-line/editing a file type thing... | 09:06 |
| m0n | JoAnneThrax, easier method if you want to run it via cli type in jockey-gtk | 09:06 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, (or jockey-text) | 09:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | It's very strange; It's never had this problem before in my previous installation, but that was jaunty/karmic | 09:06 |
| JoAnneThrax | Okay. Installing that. | 09:07 |
| soulis77-SE | So can anyone think of what is wrong? Everything is done with ssh since it is a remote host. I logged in as root. Created a new account, without root priviliges. I tested that account, and I could login. I could do su - and change to root. Then I edited sshd_config and put PermitRootLogin No and did a restart. Now I can't even access the ssh prompt. | 09:07 |
| telxt | i got a problem | 09:07 |
| YankDownUnder | telxt, We all have problems. | 09:07 |
| telxt | my ubuntu is running a sshd | 09:08 |
| telxt | but i never started it | 09:08 |
| telxt | or configured it | 09:08 |
| llutz_ | soulis77-SE: sshd runs fine after restarting it? | 09:08 |
| llutz_ | telxt: sudo apt-get purge openssh-server | 09:08 |
| soulis77-SE | llutz: don't know since I can't access server... | 09:08 |
| llutz_ | soulis77-SE:" nmap -p 22 servers-ip" | 09:09 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder and m0n : groovy...it's downloading a driver. I'll let you know if it works... Thanks! | 09:09 |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, Does that mean you're buying the beer? | 09:09 |
| m0n | JoAnneThrax, no worries :) | 09:09 |
| JoAnneThrax | YankDownUnder: The virtual beer, sure. | 09:09 |
| m0n | if only my problem was that easy to fix! LOL | 09:10 |
| * JoAnneThrax doesn't use the legal drugs herself. | 09:10 | |
| YankDownUnder | JoAnneThrax, Roger that. | 09:10 |
| h2kill | hi | 09:10 |

| h2kill | there some chinese? | 09:10 |
| JoAnneThrax | I could go for some chinese. | 09:10 |
| m0n | YankDownUnder, mate there's plenty of "backyard" just find a spot ;) | 09:10 |
| JoAnneThrax | Unfortunately, there're not enough good chinese places in this city... | 09:11 |

| carpenter | hi is there any chanel linuxmint with many users? | 09:13 |
| m0n | So, i've been trying to get my bluetooth working on ubuntu 11.04. The bluetooth card is an ath-ar5b95, which is an ar9285 wireless card and a ar3011 bluetooth card in one. Works with xubuntu 11.04 but not ubuntu 11.04. Any one able to help me out? | 09:13 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: you must know the ip address of the server if you are connecting to it | 09:13 |
| soulis77-SE | yes I know the ip | 09:14 |
| wildgoose | !mint > carpenter | 09:14 |
| ubottu | carpenter, please see my private message | 09:14 |
| soulis77-SE | but I can't access the ssh prompt anylonger since i did the Permitroot... | 09:14 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: nmap is to check if the ssh port is even open anymore | 09:15 |
| Myrtti | soulis77-SE: do you even get a password prompt when you try to log in? | 09:15 |
| groll | What are those extra "partitions" or idk, i can choose them when booting, they appeared when I had to force shut down | 09:15 |
| groll | ? | 09:15 |
| carpenter | i only want a canel link of linuxmint with many users | 09:15 |
| carpenter | a chanel | 09:15 |
| llutz_ | soulis77-SE: i'd "guess" you made a typo in sshd-config and it refuses to start now. try to get rescue-system running and check | 09:15 |

| brahmana | Hi all | 09:30 |
| mehmeh2 | i'm on lucid, is there any way i could install natty repos? i have tried to replace one line from lucid to natty and i don't get new versions after update | 09:30 |
| brahmana | I am trying to cerate a bootable USB drive | 09:30 |
| brahmana | I created it by following the steps give here : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 09:31 |
| telxt | is there a possibility that sshd is installed when i run "apt-get install ssh"? | 09:31 |
| brahmana | However when I try to boot from it, I get a message "Boot Error" | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | telxt: yes, ssh is a meta package to get client+server | 09:31 |
| brahmana | This is Lucid 10.04.1 i386 desktop image | 09:31 |
| brahmana | What is the problem and how can I rectify that? | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | telxt: look at "apt-cache depends ssh" | 09:31 |
| brahmana | The 2GB USB drive was clean before I started the creation of bootable disk | 09:32 |

| brahmana | Any suggestions on the bootable USB drive questions? | 09:36 |
| ChristianAdamski | brahmana: are you actually sure, that you are booting from the stick? | 09:40 |
| brahmana | ChristianAdamski: Yes. | 09:40 |
| ChristianAdamski | And you are not using a 64bit version on a 32bit system? | 09:41 |
| brahmana | No. it is a i386 image and it is a 32-bit system | 09:41 |
| ChristianAdamski | Do you have any other system in reach? Could you try to boot the USB there? Just booting doesn't modify anything, so its safe | 09:42 |
| brahmana | Ok, let me try that on another laptop. | 09:43 |
| SuperLag | I'm looking at the "Character Map" to find the euro symbol, and I'm not sure where to find it. | 09:43 |
| brahmana | Give me a minute. I am recreating the bootable USB drive | 09:43 |
| SuperLag | or is there some keyboard shortcut I can use for the euro symbol? | 09:43 |
| ChristianAdamski | SuperLag, with a european keyboard layout, try AltGr + E | 09:44 |
| ChristianAdamski | € <- see :) | 09:44 |
| SuperLag | ChristianAdamski: I'm using the US layout. How can I do the Euro symbol with my current layout? | 09:45 |
| ChristianAdamski | SuperLag: although, with all the stupid things politicians are doing right now, it might not be worth the effort, to learn € now, might be historical soon | 09:45 |

| tyl | where is phpmyadmin located in ubuntu i did which phpmyadmin but it doesn't show up | 09:46 |

| SwedeMike | gurkee: via 11.10, probably. | 10:55 |
| Myrtti | gurkee: next version from 11.04 isn't an LTS, so direct update wont be supported | 10:55 |
| boairc | hi guys | 10:55 |
| SwedeMike | gurkee: it's always been that you can't skip releases when upgrading, unless it's from one LTS to another LTS. | 10:55 |
| boairc | anyone knows if it is possible to setup 2 video cards and 3 monitors in Ubuntu 11? NOT with xinerama because that produces huge CPU usage, video artifacts and poor performance. | 10:56 |
| gurkee | Myrtti and SwedeMike: so when now changing distributions with the aim of using the next ubuntu desktop LTS.. would you now start using 10.04 LTS? | 10:57 |
| SwedeMike | gurkee: why do you want to only use LTS releases? | 10:57 |
| Myrtti | gurkee: hard to day without knowing why you've decided to go for 11.04 in the first place if your aim was LTS | 10:57 |
| SwedeMike | gurkee: if you want stability and 10.04 LTS works on your HW, I'd go for 10.04 right now, yes. | 10:57 |
| monsterwizard | for some reason everything has gotten smaller in pidgin | 10:58 |

| psypher246 | hello all. Does anyone know what to do when you have tried everything to kill a runaway process? I have tried kill -9 PID I have tried killing it in top, what else can I do?? If I try reboot the server remotely it gets stuck so I am completely lost as to what to do with this remotely accessed server. only way i can fix this is a hard reboot and thats not an option right now? Why does kill -9 not work?? | 11:04 |
| gurkee | What is the "lucid-updates" repository for? | 11:04 |
| SwedeMike | gurkee: personally I install firefox via separate repositories, so I always have the latest one. I don't know about adcrobat reader, but PDF reader is included and is working well, flash I've never had a problem with on 32bit platforms. | 11:07 |
| gurkee | SwedeMike, I just tried 11.04 64bit in a VM yesterday and was very pleased that Flash/Acroread were working out-of-the-box in Firefox 5 -- so you think I can have the same experience with 10.04 if I use special repositories? | 11:09 |
| === b33r is now known as Guest26098 | ||
| astraljava | gurkee: acroread can be found on partner repo, but not sure on which release. I remember it being there at least on most of them, and is on 11.04, but cannot confirm on lucid, though. | 11:09 |
| glebihan | psypher246, if the process is a zombie, there's nothing you can do to kill it except kill its parent (if it's not init...) or reboot | 11:09 |
| psypher246 | glebihan: crap... thanks | 11:09 |
| glebihan | psypher246, you're welcomee | 11:10 |
| gurkee | astraljava: and it is no problem to just use e.g. natty's partner repo for 10.04? | 11:10 |
| shadyzgeek | i also tried 11.04 on virtual box an d was a bad experience | 11:10 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: no, you don't want to do that | 11:10 |
| astraljava | gurkee: Would advice against that, because of the dependencies. | 11:10 |
| glebihan | psypher246, however a zombie should not cause any issue, why do you need to kill it ? | 11:11 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: there should be a PPA for Firefox 5.0, ten just download the current version of Flash, and put it in Firefox | 11:11 |
| gurkee | SwedeMike: from which repo do you install most recent Firefox to 10.04? | 11:11 |
| astraljava | gurkee: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/acroread/acroread_9.4-1lucid1_i386.deb | 11:11 |

| gedO | Hello. Can some one tell what is JAVA 2 SDK path in ubuntu? | 11:13 |
| gurkee | astraljava: thanks for pointing me there | 11:13 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: why on earth would it be "dirty" you're adding a stable PPA repository, and installing from there | 11:13 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: thats how i'm using t-bird 5.0, and i have no problems at all w/ it. | 11:13 |
| gedO | Guys, does anybody knows what path is to JAVA 2 SDK in ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: if you were using a testing PPA, or a daily build PPA, then i might agree w/ you, but that repository only gets updated by mozilla upon stable release. | 11:14 |
| gurkee | KM020: I was just asking :-) PPA is something like user-contributed, or am I wrong? | 11:14 |
| gedO | where I can find that JAVA 2 SDK | 11:14 |
| gurkee | KM0201, ah.. I see :) | 11:14 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: it is, but that one is supported by the mozilla team, it's safe. | 11:14 |
| SwedeMike | gurkee: don't know off the top of my head, I'd have to look it up and then you could do it too. | 11:14 |
| gurkee | KM0201, where do I get a good overview about the meanings of the repos like updates, backports, partner, PPA, ...? | 11:15 |

| KM0201 | shadyzgeek: whats your wireless device? | 11:16 |
| gurkee | and one last question, although google would be fine for that, too -- I think: Is KDE 4.x avaiable and stable for 10.04? | 11:16 |
| shadyzgeek | it is an Atheros 9285 | 11:16 |
| KM0201 | shadyzgeek: weird, i've got that atheros device and it works flawlessly (on it now actually) | 11:17 |
| MonkeyMan | hello! | 11:17 |
| KM0201 | gurkee: now that, i do't know about... don't use KDE... but i dont recall ever seeing a repo for 10.04 and kde4 | 11:18 |
| psypher246 | glebihan: yes it is init | 11:18 |
| glebihan | psypher246, in that case, I guess you'll have to go for a hard reboot... | 11:18 |

| groll | and are the differences important ? | 12:04 |
| arunkumar413 | eagleserver: did ls in /mnt/ but couldn't get anything | 12:04 |
| Myrtti | groll: when it comes to different kernel versions, about the only way you personally could see any differences is if some odd hardware starts working. Otherwise they might be security updates, preventing intruders cracking into your system | 12:05 |

| ubottu | arunkumar413: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:28 |

| trackerx90 | hi | 12:29 |
| trackerx90 | everybody | 12:30 |
| arunkumar413 | eagleserver: how to change the permissions of it then | 12:30 |
| Traintop | nmaxchat: in a terminal go to the place where you downloaded the script and do: chmod u+x fix.....sh | 12:31 |
| Traintop | nmaxchat: then you can easily do: ./fix....sh and it will execute | 12:31 |
| trackerx90 | i have ever seen cpu monitor bar in someone video | 12:31 |
| nmaxchat | Traintop, OK, Gottya | 12:31 |
| trackerx90 | i have installed ubuntu 10.04 | 12:31 |
| trackerx90 | how to find the best one for me | 12:31 |
| KM0201 | trackerx90: a cpu monitor?.. there's system monitor, thats a panel applet, it's pretty easy. | 12:32 |
| KM0201 | but it's pretty "bare" | 12:33 |
| KM0201 | beyond that, you're probably wanting to look at gdesklets | 12:33 |

| [THC]AcidRain | because once more, i have learned my lesson to NEVER buy electronics from walmart | 12:53 |

| eagleserver | lotuspsychje: yeh im sure its running like a dream with ssd, im getting an upgrade soon going dual ssd (raid) should be nice | 12:57 |
| Reikoku | Owner: Press ctrl-alt-f2 and try logging in there with your username & password | 12:58 |

| Owner | I'm in | 12:58 |
| lotuspsychje | eagleserver: sounds nice upgrade :p any idea what brand to choose? | 12:58 |

| dr_willis | cutiyar: check your clients menus and docs | 12:58 |

| Reikoku | blackdivine: What's the error? | 13:15 |
| danusia | don't know how to fix it | 13:15 |
| blackdivine | Reikoku, it's not generated. Not there. In recent systems it's nor required, but if you are having problems, you can manually generate it and set resolution in it which you want to use. That's what I am trying to do | 13:15 |
| aikInsaan | Reikoku: how do i fix my xorg.conf then? | 13:15 |
| blackdivine | Reikoku, to give you exact error i have to stop gdm and try reconfigure again, should i go then? i'll be back | 13:16 |

| [THC]AcidRain | it seems to be creating its own links though | 13:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i configured this about 2 months ago | 13:23 |

| Monotoko | aiyoraju, you can...there is an option in GRUB | 13:24 |

| Monotoko | aiyoraju, you will need to make Windows 7 your default (not quite sure how as I don't have a ubuntu computer close at the moment, but you can probably find out) then modify the hidden grub settings | 13:28 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -c module.c | 13:28 |
| Reikoku | I believe | 13:28 |
| [THC]AcidRain | link: cannot create link `/media/Server2' to `/dev/sdh1': Invalid cross-device link | 13:28 |
| Traintop | Reikoku: I assume cd'ing to drivers/net/wireless/zd1211 before and just issuing this command? | 13:29 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: But realise that your module may have modular dependencies within the kernel | 13:29 |
| dr_willis | [THC]AcidRain: i think you are confused about what you are doing | 13:29 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: Correct | 13:29 |
| Traintop | trying... | 13:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im trying to make this 1 drive mount at the same location everytime | 13:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i delt with this a while ago. but i forgot | 13:29 |
| Monotoko | [THC]AcidRain...you probably want /etc/fstab | 13:30 |
| eagleserver | [THC]AcidRain: the link should be /mnt/mountname /otherdrive | 13:30 |
| Reikoku | [THC]AcidRain: Look in /etc/fstab | 13:30 |
| dr_willis | [THC]AcidRain: make a fstab entry for it. | 13:30 |
| blackdivine | Reikoku, lol there are less than 50 people there :P and all silent | 13:30 |
| brahmana | Hi all | 13:31 |
| dr_willis | or if its automounting. make sure no dirs with thr same lable name exist in /media/ | 13:31 |
| brahmana | I burnt a 10.04 iso on to a CD and tried booting it on a fairly old laptop | 13:31 |
| Reikoku | blackdivine: Only other thing I can suggest is searching the Ubuntu forum, I can't because I'm not registered :P | 13:32 |
| brahmana | It boots until I see the five blinking dots and then after some time the screen just goes blank.. | 13:32 |
| blackdivine | Hello, I generated a modeline with cvt, can anyone tell me how to insert it to my VGA section in "xrandr"? | 13:32 |
| Traintop | Reikoku: your command exits with: "zd_chip.c:28:24: fatal error: linux/slab.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden | 13:32 |
| Traintop | compilation terminated." | 13:32 |
| brahmana | Nothing comes up even after some 15-20 minutes. | 13:32 |
| Monotoko | brahmana, how old is that laptop? | 13:32 |
| brahmana | 2003 I believe | 13:32 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: Sorry, what's that in English? | 13:32 |
| Traintop | Reikoku: but build-essentials and linux-headers are installed | 13:32 |
| blackdivine | Reikoku, lol you should, and I already have a thread there and searched for 2,3 days. The solution is there, it is to use HDMI cable, but I want it to work on VGA :P | 13:32 |
| Traintop | "file or directory not found compilation terminated" | 13:32 |
| Reikoku | blackdivine: VGA cable can handle your resolution | 13:32 |
| brahmana | Monotoko: I am not entirely sure. It is definitely older than 2006 | 13:33 |
| === AskWizard is now known as Raje | ||
| Monotoko | brahmana, it probably won't run Ubuntu 10.04...take a look at xubuntu though | 13:33 |
| Monotoko | it is designed for older computers | 13:33 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: It seems like it's looking for a dependency | 13:33 |
| brahmana | Monotoko: How about 8.04 - hardy heron? | 13:33 |
| Reikoku | I suggest either looking for a pre built module or rebuilding the kernel overnight | 13:33 |
| blackdivine | Reikoku, It can ofcourse, but the new Ubuntu doesn't do a good job on guessing the optimal resolutions on VGA cable, that;s what i read | 13:33 |
| szal | brahmana: 8.04 is dead in the meantime | 13:33 |
| Monotoko | brahmana, perhaps..but I believe it is at end-of-life now | 13:34 |
| iceroot | blackdivine: lubuntu if you are slow at performance | 13:34 |
| dr_willis | !eol | 13:34 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 13:34 |
| szal | brahmana: and on the desktop it has been for 2 years already | 13:34 |
| Reikoku | Monotoko: Ubuntu 10.04 should run on a 2003 laptop :S | 13:34 |
| Traintop | some few days ago I read a make-command something like make modules SUBDIR=drivers/net/... -but I am not sure and do not find it again... -does this sound familiar to anyone? | 13:34 |
| brahmana | szal, Monotoko - End of life should be ok. If I can boot some linux I will be good to go | 13:34 |
| acicula | Traintop: its missing an include file, id guess slab.h is part of the linux kernel headers | 13:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | so in fstab i will do... | 13:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | /dev/sdh1 /media/Server2 ext3 defaults,user,rw 0 0 | 13:35 |
| szal | brahmana: try pressing F6 on CD boot & issuing "edd=on" | 13:35 |
| blackdivine | iceroot, LOL no, I have i3 and 4gb ram, just want bigger resolution so lines don't wrap on my VIM :P | 13:35 |
| Traintop | acicula: I did this in the extracted kernel-tree... :-) | 13:35 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, not well I suspect... brahmana, you may want to try DSL or some other "small" distribution | 13:35 |
| Reikoku | [THC]AcidRain: What's in there now? | 13:35 |
| szal | brahmana: (toggle option w/ space bar) | 13:35 |
| Reikoku | Also you have to edit it as root (sudo) | 13:35 |
| szal | brahmana: and "nomodeset" too, for that matter | 13:35 |
| iceroot | blackdivine: ah wrong nick :) | 13:35 |
| blackdivine | haha ok :) | 13:35 |
| Reikoku | Monotoko: Isn't Ubuntu 10.04 gnome3 based? | 13:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Reikoku: the link to a non existant floppy drive and. my cd rom | 13:36 |
| brahmana | szal: Hang.. let me do that right away before I lose you.. :) | 13:36 |
| welshlad | well guys do i stick with 10.04 or get the newer version? | 13:36 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, no it's Gnome2 | 13:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but. my other drive has been mounting in the same location for years now | 13:36 |
| Traintop | damn it -I'll wait some time to let make compile all modules... :-( | 13:36 |
| blabla | from linux). Do I have to add windows to grub or something ? | 13:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | why is this drive wanting to do what i have not set it to do? | 13:36 |
| Reikoku | Monotoko: gnome2 will run on 03 hardware | 13:36 |
| brahmana | szal, Monotoko -- fwiw, it did actually boot a 9.10 cd but ended up throwing Bus Error so I couldn't do anything useful. | 13:36 |
| Reikoku | I have gnome2 running on 1999 hardware :P | 13:36 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cause everyone here had helped me before, showed me a different way to mount the drive | 13:36 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, it all depends...it sounds like 10.04 doesn't know or support his video card | 13:37 |
| acicula | Traintop: unless you tell it where to find the include files ti will just lookin in the default include directories. just unpacking kernel source somewhere will not do that. though if you are building a module within the kernel tree itself that shouldnt be an issue | 13:37 |
| blabla | Hi. I'm a windows user and installed ubuntu on an ext4 partition. Now grub doesn't see windows at boot anymore. What went wrong ? | 13:37 |
| Reikoku | He probably needs the alternate install CD | 13:37 |
| Reikoku | The curses-based one | 13:37 |
| Reikoku | blabla: Did you delete your Windows partition? | 13:37 |
| brahmana | Reikoku: Can I download alternate install CD by http? i.e without torrents? | 13:37 |
| blackdivine | blabla, Are you sure you didn't installed Ubuntu over windows partition? because if you didn't grub does a good job on detecting and listing windows so you can boot | 13:37 |
| blabla | Reikoku: I can still see the files from dolphin | 13:37 |
| [THC]AcidRain | the drive keeps changing its device name | 13:38 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, perhaps...but xubuntu may support it better as it is designed for older computers | 13:38 |
| aiyoraju | exit | 13:38 |
| Reikoku | brahmana: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-alternate-i386.iso | 13:38 |
| Reikoku | Monotoko: Yeah he'd probably be better with xubuntu | 13:39 |
| Reikoku | But he could just install ubuntu then install xfce | 13:39 |
| Traintop | acicula: the error came from a gcc-command for compiling a kernel-module; now I just did "make modules_prepare; make modules"... -it compiles EVERY module now, but it seems I have to wait that long for zd1211rw :-) | 13:39 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, perhaps..but rather than going the long way around, he might as well just install xubuntu? http://www.xubuntu.org/ | 13:39 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm | 13:39 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Reikoku: it appears to be working | 13:39 |

| blabla | blackdivine: well i defined /dev/sda5 as / and /dev/sda1 as nothing | 13:40 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: It means your module can't install without compiling other ones it depends on | 13:40 |
| Monotoko | Reikoku, it isn't..I've used it to bring ancient computers back to life a lot :P | 13:40 |
| Reikoku | Like when you apt-get something and it gets 30 software packages :P | 13:41 |

| pupuserf0be20 | "it does not appear to exist" and it does =O | 13:44 |

| blackdivine | blabla, ok open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and run "sudo apt-get purge grub-pc) | 13:44 |

| blackdivine | blabla, any progress? | 13:48 |
| blabla | blackdivine: I think it did it : http://pastebin.pk/775 | 13:49 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: this is one of the libs you need to have: the others are all dependant and are installed alongside | 13:49 |
| Reikoku | kiichiro: I cant remember if xubuntu uses gdm or xdm, if it's gdm it's in sudo gdmsetup | 13:49 |
| blabla | blackdivine: the longest part was having the site respond the url :P | 13:49 |

| Traintop | pokoko222: try this one on the terminal; if it works you can try getting it to run in netbeans; but I prefer emacs and terminal :-) | 14:00 |
| dgandhi360 | Greetings all, I was wondering if there is a way to get gnome-terminal to zoom-in when called instead of requiring menu/hotkeys. | 14:00 |
| brahmana | szal: The CD drive just goes dead silent a little while after the blinking dots screen (which otherwise is pretty noisy) | 14:01 |
| szal | dcorking: what's the final pkg version of the apt pkg to be installed? | 14:01 |
| szal | brahmana: does it ever get past the dots? | 14:01 |
| acicula | Traintop: you can compile individual modules as long as the source tree is configured and prepared, think you can use make M=path/to/module/directory | 14:02 |
| dcorking | I know it is standard for the security team to hide launchpad bugs until the fix is available, but is 784473 supposed to remain hidden "page not found" ? | 14:02 |
| Reikoku | Isn't there a way to hide the dots and see the bootup under it? | 14:02 |
| brahmana | szal: I have tried only two scenarios - the default and with your suggestion - and in both cases a little while after the dots the screen goes blank and no key press does anything | 14:02 |
| szal | Reikoku: press Esc when booting | 14:02 |
| Traintop | acicula: thanks :-) "make oldconfig;make modules_prepare;make modules" is still running, but after it finishes I'll try your suggestion | 14:02 |
| Reikoku | brahmana: Try that | 14:03 |
| kiichiro | Reikoku, xubuntu uses the xdm I believe | 14:03 |
| acicula | Reikoku: think alt-f1 or tab or some combination of it might make it switch back to text, not sure though. | 14:03 |
| dcorking | szal : going to apt version 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.1 | 14:03 |

| starlon | Is there a particular package I can install via apt-get that'll install a bunch of common build tools, such as automake, gcc, std libs, etc? | 14:09 |
| szal | brahmana: append "text" to the kernel line in Grub | 14:09 |
| Reikoku | brahmana: I can only suggest the alternative CD | 14:09 |

| pokoko222 | Traintop by the way i got gl and glu headers right :) ok i will do this one now | 14:18 |
| natrixnatrix89 | weird. maybe you have to reconfigure login screen manager.. | 14:18 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop but there is other stuff like freeglut dunno what to install | 14:18 |
| kiichiro | how exactly would I go about doing that | 14:18 |
| szal | Traintop: he found the German channel ;) | 14:19 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: it's always the same when setting up a new machine... installing all the libs and headers for GL... -but if you got it running once you have no worries anymore... :-) | 14:19 |
| natrixnatrix89 | kiichiro: just sudo dpkg --reconfigure <your login manager> | 14:19 |
| natrixnatrix89 | on ubuntu it would be gdm | 14:19 |
| kiichiro | what would my login manager be exactly? | 14:19 |
| natrixnatrix89 | on lubuntu it was lxdm as I remember | 14:19 |
| madprops | how can this make any sense? http://www.mybravetruehero.com/skype-upside-down-video-problem-solved/ | 14:19 |
| natrixnatrix89 | I don't remember.. google for that | 14:19 |
| madprops | how is that file supposed to run skype? | 14:19 |
| Traintop | szal: I always sit here because I HOPE there are more english-speaking-ubuntu-users than german ones.. .:-) | 14:19 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop ok so which one do i install there are more glut headers and libraries stuff all over the place :) | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | brahmana, are you sure you deleted the ubuntu partition , or did you install windows after installing ubuntu and now you can't access | 14:20 |
| szal | Traintop: obviously there are ;) | 14:20 |
| tomodachi | does anyone haw a quick fick for ultra slow workspace switching performance? im on latest ubuntu nvidia proprietary driver | 14:20 |
| brahmana | szal: btw, I been following this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=508927 to reset the MBR and it suggests use of the package ms-sys which now seems to be removed from repo for licensing issues. Is mbr the right package to use now? | 14:20 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: mom | 14:20 |
| tktiddle | Ive enabled the partners repo but i cant find sun-java6-jdk | 14:20 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop mom? | 14:20 |
| brahmana | BluesKaj: I am pretty sure I deleted the Ubuntu parition. Though I had that other problem that you stated quite a few years ago... :) | 14:20 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: wait a moment :-) german-online-gamer-language :-) | 14:21 |
| szal | brahmana: reinstalling Grub should do, unless the installation is so b0rked that even more stuff is missing | 14:21 |
| szal | !grub | brahmana | 14:21 |
| ubottu | brahmana: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| tktiddle | How do i install sun/oracle java? | 14:21 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: packets with a red ubuntu-icon are always good to install :-) | 14:21 |
| kiichiro | natrixnatrix89, wait, just remembered something, how do I get to the security tab | 14:21 |
| brahmana | szal: aah.. um.. well I deleted the ubuntu parition from the Windows Disk Management tool.. | 14:22 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop thank you so much so so much oh boy i cant wait to get to program now | 14:22 |
| szal | brahmana: then there's nothing to do but to reinstall | 14:22 |
| natrixnatrix89 | kiichiro: security? it should be seahorse | 14:22 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: did you get the cube-demo to compile and run? | 14:22 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop well i needed the glut header just a sec | 14:23 |
| brahmana | szal: No, I just want to reset the MBR and just have windows on this machine (for now at least). Do I need to install the OS complete for that? | 14:23 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop what do i include now i have both freeglut.h and glut.h :D | 14:23 |
| szal | brahmana: you better do that from an appropriate Windows install medium | 14:23 |
| Traintop | brahmana: boot into windows anyhow and do this chkdsk -fix-mbr ... | 14:23 |
| Traintop | pokoko222:should work both if both are installed by synaptic | 14:24 |
| szal | Traintop: afaik, incumbent instructions are different for XP and Vista/Win7 | 14:24 |
| brahmana | ok | 14:24 |
| Traintop | szal: havent't booted into non-linux-os for over 6a now... -so I do not remember all the syntax-options from DOS... :-( | 14:25 |
| szal | Traintop: XP has a 'fixmbr' command, for Vista/Win7 I'd have to look instructions up.. </ot> | 14:26 |
| Traintop | szal: same for me: my last win was XP SP2; all other windows after this I haven't seen but in the commercials... :-) | 14:26 |

| Traintop | nd has a running zd1211rw.ko with packet-injection... :-> | 14:29 |
| kiichiro | natrixnatrix89, for the auto login I hear I'm suppose to open the login screen and move to the security tab, is that different in natty | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | brahmana, if you can find an app called easyBCD then you should be able fix the mbr on W7/Vista using that . | 14:30 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: gcc cube.cpp -o cube -lGL -lGLU -lglut | 14:30 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: I haven't used Windows on a home PC since Clinton was in the white house :P | 14:30 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: the order of -lGL and -lGLU and -lglut is important... | 14:30 |
| natrixnatrix89 | kiichiro: shouldn't be.. | 14:30 |
| kiichiro | odd I don't have a security tab for my thing, ya sounds like a reconfigure thing for sure | 14:30 |
| Traintop | reikoku: clinton was early-90s, wasn't he? | 14:30 |
| asher^ | hello, im wondering if someone can tell me how to view the current linux kernel config from a command line | 14:31 |
| Traintop | Reikoku: did you just give him as a time-mark or did he do something to get you off windows? | 14:31 |
| brahmana | BluesKaj: Just looked at easyBCD's website. Does it work when I am not able to boot into any OS at all? | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | brahmana, I thought it was on a live-cd | 14:32 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop yeah but i am in netbeans and i try to now locate those libraries | 14:32 |
| brahmana | BluesKaj: Ok. Will read the guides. Thank you for the suggestion. | 14:33 |
| szal | brahmana: Windows help is in ##windows | 14:33 |
| Reikoku | Traintop: Time mark :P | 14:33 |
| brahmana | szal: Oh ok.. thank you. | 14:33 |
| Reikoku | And he was up until 98 I believe | 14:33 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: I did not use netbeans yet; so you have to figure this out somehow, but can you compile this test-cube on the command-line with the given command; then you could at least assure your installation is working... | 14:33 |
| pokoko222 | Traintop yeah oki doki, i will figure out now which libraries i need to link and where do i find them | 14:34 |
| Traintop | ok, then late-90s; also quite a time for linux and bsds... | 14:34 |
| brahmana | szal: Though I would prefer to fix this MBR from my Ubuntu LiveCD that I have booted already.. :) | 14:34 |
| Traintop | pokoko222: I just mentioned the command so you could check if you have everything installed... | 14:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ok i have a question about mounting a drive. in the fstab, when i associate the drive with its mount point, my drive changes names on its own. so do i just link every possible name it could have? | 14:35 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it just recently started doing things i dont want it to do -.- | 14:35 |
| Traintop | editing the lib-paths in netbeans should be documented somewhere... | 14:35 |
| VEndix | Hello, i change password and procedure comes right way, but i can't login into Ubuntu One, section. | 14:35 |
| VEndix | Can someone help me to do that? | 14:35 |
| Traintop | [THC]AcidRain: if your drive changes names try mounting it via its uuid | 14:35 |
| XLV | brahmana, my take, boot into ubuntu from the live cd, install grub2, then use easybcd to setup a bcd entry intro windows boot manager using grub2 template.. works great | 14:36 |
| Traintop | then the name is not relevant anymore... | 14:36 |

| brahmana | XLV: Ok, now how do I install grub2 in the right location and in the right way? | 14:37 |
| Traintop | THC: just a moment | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | !grub | brahmana | 14:37 |

| Traintop | or in your case /dev/sdg1 | 14:38 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Traintop: the drive was named sdg1 for 2 months | 14:38 |
| [THC]AcidRain | this blocks a drive id? | 14:38 |
| Reikoku | kz3: RhythmBox can sync with iDevices | 14:38 |
| Traintop | THC: this will give you the uuid for this partition | 14:38 |
| brahmana | XLV: Where on the hard-disk will the installed files be? (since this is live cd) | 14:38 |
| Reikoku | Not sure if the patch is built in though | 14:38 |
| Traintop | THC: so you can mount it via fstab even if the name changes | 14:39 |
| XLV | brahmana, you need to mount the ubuntu / somewhere, then into shell, issue the command "sudo chroot /<path and dir of mounted ubuntu> | 14:39 |
| XLV | brahmana, then use the apt-get command | 14:39 |

| Reikoku | Hmm, can't you download them on the iPod Touch directly? :S | 14:41 |
| [THC]AcidRain | yea thats what i have... | 14:41 |
| Reikoku | Pici: He means download apps from iTunes store | 14:41 |
| kz3 | Pici : I mean installing apps on ipod | 14:41 |
| Reikoku | and sync themn | 14:41 |
| Reikoku | But iPod has App Store | 14:41 |
| Reikoku | and WiFi | 14:41 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i didnt get any errors regarding location not found | 14:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | so i guess it worked | 14:42 |
| Pici | kz3: No, you cannot use any Linux programs to do that. I don't know what the viability of running itunes in a virtual machine is though. | 14:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | let me unmount and unplugg and replug. see what happens | 14:42 |
| Reikoku | You should be able to download them straight to the iPod assuming you have a wireless network | 14:42 |

| [THC]AcidRain | ok. umount | 14:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | unplugged, and replugged. | 14:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | lets see what we got | 14:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | =( | 14:43 |
| Reikoku | kz3: Is App Store not working on your iPod/you don't have wireless? | 14:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it mounted as Server2_ | 14:43 |

| kz3 | Reikoku : actually the downloading speed on my iPod is very slow....I dont know why but it is | 14:44 |
| Traintop | THC: shouldn't it mount as /media/Server2 ? | 14:44 |

| Reikoku | kz3: That's very odd | 14:45 |
| === jan_ is now known as oneric | ||

| [THC]AcidRain | i took your advice dr_willis | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it loaded fine as Server2 this time | 14:46 |
| kz3 | Reikoku: it is...what should I do? | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Pici: does it HAVE to say uuid=? infront | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cause it appears to be working without it | 14:46 |
| Reikoku | kz3: It's probably that the iPod doesn't like the encryption, the older iPods use processor instead of a dedicated chip to decrypt | 14:47 |
| dr_willis | [THC]AcidRain: it automounted.. ignred the fstab entry | 14:47 |
| dr_willis | ignored | 14:47 |

| ActionParsnip | kiamo: you forgot to add the GPG key for your screenlets PPA too | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kiamo: the command imports it | 14:56 |

| VEndix | Can someone, help me to understand why do the FileZilla crashes without any error when i try to upload file to the server? | 14:56 |
| dr_willis | better to do sudo -i or -s | 14:56 |
| brahmana | XLV: I am little confused here. At beginning no part of the file system points to any hard-disk parition, right? | 14:56 |
| kiamo | ActionParsnip, ill try it. I just want to test xbmc out before deciding to build a machine for it. ^^ | 14:57 |

| XLV | brahmana, lets say your root partition of your ubuntu install is /dev/sda1 | 14:57 |
| kiamo | dr_willis, oh yea? | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | sudo or aliases and sudoers | 14:57 |
| * kiamo googles | 14:57 | |
| ActionParsnip | kiamo: its not bad, resource hungry but not bad at all. If you make a dedicated system for it I'd suggest using some light desktop like LXDE instead of gnome | 14:57 |
| VEndix | Can someone, help me to understand why do the FileZilla crashes without any error when i try to upload file to the server? | 14:57 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: its xbmc +moar | 14:58 |
| XLV | brahmana, you mkdir /mnt/test then mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/test then chroot /mnt/test | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | VEndix: do other ftp clients work ok? does the same behaviour occur as all users? | 14:58 |
| brahmana | XLV: Well, that's the problem here. No ubuntu install exists here. The parition on which Ubuntu was installed is deleted. | 14:58 |
| XLV | brahmana, ... then just reinstall ubuntu | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | kiamo: could just install Lubuntu to make life easier ;) | 14:58 |
| VEndix | ActionParsnip: well i will try, what client i should install? | 14:59 |
| kiamo | dr_willis, im looking for a better solution for watching movies. at the moment I am transcoding with PMS. However about 50% of the time I have transcode errors | 14:59 |

| K4k | I'm getting a random, blank, window on my screen at login. I'm using icewm and I've got xscreensaver, nm-applet and xfce4-power-manager starting up, all without apparent errors. Any ideas what this window might be? I'm unable to close it. | 14:59 |
| kiamo | ActionParsnip, I was thinking of just installing the XBMC Live. | 14:59 |
| kiamo | ActionParsnip, maybe easier? | 14:59 |
| brahmana | XLV: I am trying to just reset the MBR for now. I am trying to avoid an install here. This is an old laptop and cannot handle the regular 10.04. So I want to leave it with just Windows | 14:59 |
| === Victor_ is now known as iVictor | ||
| dr_willis | kiamo: i had issues with xbmc live | 14:59 |
| CloudBlue | can someone help in a personal channel, it will only take a sec... | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | kiamo: that works too, not sure how drivers would work. depends what is on the CD to how well it will work | 15:00 |

| brahmana | XLV: Will a grub install to a hdd partition without any ubuntu install work? | 15:00 |
| XLV | brahmana, ok, then just go into windows, fire up easybcd, remove all linux entries from bcd menu if they exist, then somewhere in easybcd panels, theres an option "write mbr" | 15:00 |
| ushills | NickServ identify ushills stanley | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | kiamo, you can add the xbmc repos to your soiurces list the 10.10 repos version works | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ushills: ooops | 15:01 |
| Assid | so im planning on setting up an ubuntu desktop which works over iscsi for a diskless boot | 15:01 |
| XLV | brahmana, why you want grub on a system with no linux or any other OS that uses grub? use windows boot manager | 15:01 |
| brahmana | XLV: I have no way of going into Windows.. Grub just lands me in rescue shell.. ! | 15:01 |
| dr_willis | ushills: time to change password | 15:01 |
| ushills | Ooops indeed | 15:01 |
| Assid | can someone help me go about this? | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ushills: I recommend you join #freenode and change password | 15:01 |
| Traintop | ushills: someone has to change its password... :-) | 15:01 |
| ushills | Password isn't correct fortunately | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Assid: then you'll need a pxe server | 15:01 |
| dr_willis | lol | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ushills: lucky | 15:02 |
| brahmana | XLV: No, I do not want grub. I just want to reset the MBR so that I can boot the machine. | 15:02 |
| iVictor | I updated ubuntu 2.6.32.32 to 2.6.32.33 and rebooted today. Since then, the system is not booting up. It throws error & drops to BusyBox. | 15:02 |

| XLV | brahmana, well, this is then purely #windows support territory.. but just to complete it, i'll say you need to boot from windows install cd, then depending on windows version ( xp or vista/7 ) theres a # of things to do | 15:02 |
| kiamo | dr_willis, boxee looks intresting | 15:02 |
| roy__ | can someone help me with that? | 15:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Assid: does that have a pxe server and tftp server installed? | 15:03 |
| iVictor | I didn't try holding shift key & booting to earlier version. Though, right now, I am logged in to 2.6.32.32 (recovery). | 15:03 |
| brahmana | XLV: ok.. so essentially no way of doing from Ubuntu then? | 15:03 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: i bought a boxee device the other day for $200. does netflix and a lot moar. smaller then a mini pc also | 15:03 |

| AcidRain | hmmm | 15:03 |
| roy_ | ? | 15:03 |

| Assid | ActionParsnip i think so.. it does let me set the filename and rootpath for any fixed leases i want to setup | 15:03 |
| brahmana | XLV: ok.. thank you | 15:03 |
| ActionParsnip | iVictor: if it boots to the older version then run: sudo update-grub | 15:03 |
| Assid | ActionParsnip can we take this in pm | 15:03 |
| AcidRain | but i have one last question. in ubuntu, when i create a sym link. how can i make the contents of that link accessible through the home dir of an ftp server | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Assid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PXEInstallServer | 15:04 |
| roy_ | guys since fglrx gives me lots of issues | 15:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Assid: I dont support in PM | 15:04 |
| roy_ | i want to try open source drivers | 15:04 |
| roy_ | can someone help me install it properly and configure it? | 15:04 |
| AcidRain | i have the sym link in the home ftp server dir now. but it says no such file or dir | 15:04 |
| dr_willis | AcidRain: ftp server may need some 'follow symlinks' setting enabled | 15:04 |
| AcidRain | hmmm... ill check it out | 15:04 |
| iVictor | ActionParsnip: Before I could boot normally to 2.6.32.32 (recovery), I've had to do a update-grub. So essentially, I've already done update-grub. | 15:04 |
| AcidRain | that would be in config right? | 15:04 |
| kiamo | dr_willis, can it play 1080p mkvs of a smb share easily enough? | 15:04 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: should do it. | 15:05 |
| Assid | okay so i need a tftp server | 15:05 |
| AcidRain | i use ftpdpro | 15:05 |
| CloudBlue | help, my home dir is screwed... when i log in a message pops up that ¨it does not appear to exist¨ and i would like root to be my home dir... | 15:06 |
| AcidRain | it has a little buggy gftpdpro admin gui | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: it does samba well and 1080p i belive. and can play mkv. but iv no 1080p videos that i know of | 15:06 |
| Assid | AcidRain you use a diskless setup? | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | kiamo, personally I found xbmc clunky to use , too many menus to do what you want ...I prefer the simplicity of vlc , which is very configurable , and works well for our HT on this media server pc | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | CloudBlue: you mean /root? or / | 15:06 |
| AcidRain | yeah. its in repos | 15:07 |
| CloudBlue | yes slash root (/root) | 15:07 |
| kiamo | BluesKaj, you use vlc for your HT? Presumably running on ubuntu and just browse for the media you want? | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: boxee and xbmc have android phone remote apps also. so does vlc.. check out gmote also if using android. | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | kiamo: i use vlc that way also. depends on my mood | 15:07 |

| rocket16 | Hello guys. I got my new Dell Inspirion 14R today and after installing Ubuntu 11.04, it says "Warning, this partitio is misaligned by 1024 bytes" in Disk utility. So, does it really affect performance? | 15:08 |
| dr_willis | CloudBlue: why not make a proper /home/username dir | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | kiamo, yes altho I use kde ,but that's almost immaterial..we find vlc easy ..even wife can access and watch without grief :) | 15:08 |
| CloudBlue | make another one? | 15:09 |
| kiamo | dr_willis, I've got an android phone but no bluetooth on the pc. Does the remote use the wifi? | 15:09 |
| iVictor | any suggestions? | 15:09 |
| dr_willis | CloudBlue: each user has a /home/username dir owened by them. how did yours vanish? | 15:09 |
| kiamo | also, google results suggest a lot of stuttering on boxee for 1080p mkvs | 15:09 |

| kiamo | ok, so how do I fix the xbmc repo version? | 15:13 |

| dr_willis | CloudBlue: what empty file? the home dir.. is a directory.. | 15:13 |
| dr_willis | /home/yourusername | 15:13 |

| Beelsebob | Hey, OS X has a command "atos" that translates an address in either a process or a library to a string (i.e. will convert a function pointer to it's name) – is there a similar command under linux? | 15:45 |
| snimavat | i just did \\ | 15:45 |
| snimavat | with the ip | 15:46 |
| TML-prv | Snicers-Work2: Well, if you installed PHP via a package, you should use "apt-get source php5" and then build yourself some custom .debs | 15:46 |
| Snicers-Work2 | So I need to recompile apache and have it replace the old apt-get version of apache. How do I do this? | 15:48 |
| TML-prv | apt-get source apache2 && apt-get build-dep apache2 | 15:48 |
| TML-prv | That will give you a source tree and all the build dependencies | 15:48 |
| Snicers-Work2 | TML-prv: I did that, it did not change the php configure command in phpinfo | 15:49 |
| TML-prv | Snicers-Work2: Recompiling Apache wouldn't change PHP, no | 15:49 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile apache? | 15:49 |
| Snicers-Work2 | jrib: I did not mean to type apache at all, I meant php5. | 15:50 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: why do you believe you need to recompile php5? | 15:50 |
| TML-prv | Snicers-Work2: Well, then you should be saying 'php5' instead of 'apache2' in my above suggestions, but jrib's question still bears merit | 15:51 |
| Snicers-Work2 | jrib: Because I need to change the configure command, can I do this without recompiling php5? I was told I had to. | 15:51 |
| TML-prv | Snicers-Work2: Why do you need to change the configure command? | 15:51 |
| TML-prv | What's the *real* problem you're trying to solve with all of this/ | 15:51 |
| jrib | Snicers-Work2: *why*? What is your end goal that the version in the repositories is not allowing you to accomplish? | 15:51 |
| Snicers-Work2 | TML-prv: Because I am including MSSQL library and was told it had to be included via the configure command line. | 15:51 |
| Snicers-Work2 | TML-prv: Freetds is not a part of PHP out of the box, I need to include it. | 15:52 |

I aslo installed apache2 (using synaptic) and then downloaded and installed webmin to administrate te server. But apache refuses to run. the only output in the terminal is: "no such file or directory: apache2: could not open error log file logs/error_log. unable to open logs." then it exit | 15:59 |

| NielsMkn | I don't wish to be a troll, but is xubuntu 11.04 more similar to gnome 2.6? I don't like unity but I want to stay with the latest release | 16:00 |
| szal | lok: what tells you to install that? | 16:01 |
| szal | !classic | NielsMkn | 16:01 |
| ubottu | NielsMkn: 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". | 16:01 |
| petanilinux | ActionParsnip : thx brother i am found driver for it | 16:01 |
| zeroburn | NielsMkn: its very simmilar to win 2000 and pre.... | 16:01 |
| zeroburn | NielsMkn: the xubuntu interface... | 16:02 |
| lok | szal: apt-get or the software center, depending on which one I try it with ... it says there are unresolved dependecies | 16:02 |
| NielsMkn | ah is it true that the rollback option to gnome will be removed in 11.10? | 16:02 |
| zeroburn | NielsMkn: yep.. unfortunatly.. according to the ubuntu forums, Gnome3 wont support the "classic" desktop out the box.. needs to be installed seperately (or something simmilar to the clasic desktop) | 16:03 |

| ActionParsnip | NielsMkn: then use a different DE | 16:04 |

| ActionParsnip | NielsMkn: look at some screenshots, see which you like | 16:07 |
| NielsMkn | eh, I don't want my ubuntu to look like Windows :/ | 16:07 |
| Neoncamouflage | Nor do I, why I used it for like 15 minutes and switched back to Gnome | 16:07 |

| coder21 | compiz manager,3D settings not working in ubuntu 11.04 natty | 16:07 |
| NielsMkn | Well ActionParsnip I looked at them, and found xfce similar :o | 16:07 |
| Reikoku | NielsMkn: LXDE is pretty GNOME-like | 16:07 |
| NielsMkn | not gnome 3 right? :O | 16:08 |
| szal | lok: what the ... is serna? | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | NielsMkn: then use that, sudo apt-get install xfce4 log off, select xfce as the session and log in | 16:08 |
| Neoncamouflage | I have a question, how is Gnome pronounced? I've heard three different ways of saying it, is there an official pronunciation? | 16:08 |
| dcorking | the committer of the apt changelog I mentioned earlier tells me that the linked LP bug is private, which is why it is invisible to the web. | 16:08 |
| lok | szal: serna is a WYSIWYG xml editor ... actually the best open source one | 16:08 |
| NielsMkn | but right now, you guys told me it was like windows 2000 :O | 16:08 |
| NielsMkn | and I dont' want windows and definetely not an old one :P | 16:08 |
| Reikoku | Neoncamouflage: I pronounce it as in Gnome with a silent G | 16:09 |
| Reikoku | So nome | 16:09 |
| zeroburn | NielsMkn: follow the other guy's advice... google... lolz.. | 16:09 |
| Neoncamouflage | I've always said it as like Gee-Nome. | 16:09 |

| Lok | Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have two version of the same package on my pc ... I would need sip-api-7.1 but I already have sip-api-8.1 and I am not sure whether 8.1 is needed by other packages so I can't just remove it | 16:47 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, i'll be happy to just get the 1366 pixel resolution resolved | 16:47 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, i'm locked to 1024 | 16:47 |

| Guest14388 | Question: What type of formatting should I give to my secondary harddrive if I want to use it as a mirror/backup for my primary drive? | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | fonfy: the driver will help a lot. You are currently using the open driver | 16:48 |
| Lok | ikonia: I haven't ... I have 8.1 cause it is in the package repositories, but for another programm I would need a former one | 16:48 |
| aikInsaan | so the options on the log in screen are 'ubuntu' 'recovery console' 'ubuntu classic' 'ubuntu safe mode' 'user defined' | 16:48 |
| Rudolf_ | Y i dont get the option of 'install ubuntu alongside windows 7' while installing ubuntu? | 16:48 |
| [snake] | can you get atlantis2 plugin for compiz on ubuntu 10.04 x86_64? | 16:48 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, you mean the previous sudo apt-get recommendation may fix the problem? | 16:48 |
| Guest14388 | gparted does not seem to hande ext4 which is what my primary harddrive is | 16:48 |
| ikonia | Lok: do you have any ide of the software you want to use needs that specific version or a minimum of that version ? | 16:48 |
| aikInsaan | there is no option for unity...and i have tried these options...unity isn't one of them | 16:49 |
| ActionParsnip | fonfy: the command I gave installs the driver for you | 16:49 |
| Phr3d13 | aikInsaan, i believe ubuntu if the 'unity' option | 16:49 |
| Lok | ikonia: you mean if I know what it is? or if I know the source? | 16:49 |
| ikonia | Lok: what software do you want to use ? | 16:49 |
| aikInsaan | Phr3d13: that's what I thought....turns out it isn't | 16:49 |
| [snake] | can you get atlantis2 plugin for compiz on ubuntu 10.04 64bit? | 16:49 |
| Lok | ikonia: Serna ... it is a graphical xml editor... the best i know acutally and I did not find any equivalent free alternative | 16:50 |
| Phr3d13 | aikInsaan, if you don't have a good enough card/the right drivers the unity interface won't show up | 16:50 |
| aikInsaan | Phr3d13: i read somewhere that there are some hardware requirements | 16:50 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, I tried running the drivers directly from the nvidia website before. it was a shell script but it didn't seem to work. I guess the apt-get maybe works nicer because its aimed directly for ubuntu right? (its nearly finished downloading) | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Lok: ok , so have you tried it with sip 8.1 ? | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Lok: or do you know it specfically needs sip 7 | 16:50 |
| aikInsaan | Phr3d13: hmm...is there a way around that | 16:50 |
| Phr3d13 | aikInsaan, do you still have the default drivers for your video card? | 16:50 |
| [snake] | i want some fish inside my desktop cube | 16:50 |
| aikInsaan | Phr3d13: yea, it's all runnning on default drivers | 16:50 |
| Phr3d13 | aik System > Administration > Additional Drivers | 16:51 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, may I ask. Does edger ppa thing give me anything better than the plain sudo apt-get ? | 16:51 |
| aikInsaan | Phr3d13: i remember reading that you can install specific drivers to make unity work on most boxes where it doesn't work by default | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | fonfy: the packaged version will upgrade automatically. Makes life easier | 16:51 |
| Lok | ikonia: if I say like "sudo apt-get install serna" it tells me it depends on sip-api-7.1, but this one cannot be installed, so I guess I need exactly that one | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Lok: what repo are you getting serna from ? | 16:51 |
| fonfy | ActionParsnip, is there any reason it wasn't offered to me in the System->Administration->Hardware Drivers section? | 16:52 |
| ActionParsnip | fonfy: it will give a later version than the maverick repo can. The natty one is a bit newer than the maverick one | 16:52 |

| KM0201 | babble: i think lmsensors though, is strictly a "monitor".. i don't think it will turn on/off fans | 18:02 |

| KM0201 | babble: what is your laptop model again | 18:07 |
| babble | KM0201, my fault - I"m not explaining my problem. my fans *are* always on. In Winders, they cycle on and off as needed. I'll live with the fan running for now if that's my best bet | 18:07 |
| babble | I'm on an HP Pavilion G6 (I can get you the exact model string if it helps) | 18:07 |

| coz_ | nolcotin, that should be fine,, I generally use 32 bit here | 18:25 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: I guess it's the service mountall that mounts all mounts given in /etc/fstab. Unfortunately, it also tries to mount the network dependent mounts like samba and others which are not available yet since networking was not yet setup. | 18:25 |
| bluezone | nolcotin, yeah if your machine can handle it | 18:25 |
| bluezone | kongo_86, did it work? | 18:26 |
| coz_ | nolcotin, you have several options,, live cd...alternate cd..and minimal in stall cd | 18:26 |
| jbwiv | any ideas? I'm completely dead in the water :-/. is it a bad drive? | 18:26 |
| nolcotin | @coz_ I've incstalled ubuntu before | 18:26 |
| nolcotin | in 2006 :| | 18:26 |
| aetas | Carnage\, yeah that will complicate things. Most likely you will need to write a script file for that mount in /etc/init/ and on the start line use net-device-up I believe | 18:26 |
| nolcotin | the 64 bit was flaky then | 18:26 |
| Corey | jbwiv: LiveCD time? | 18:26 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: And mountall is definitely configured via upstart, I checked that already. There is also another service called mountall-net which seems to be what I want but I have no idea how I can use it. | 18:26 |
| kongo_86 | bluezone: im in ubuntu classic no graphhics. let me log off an dlog back in | 18:26 |
| jbwiv | Corey: as noted, I'm booted into a livecd now | 18:27 |
| nolcotin | will I be able to leverage the package manager with the 64 bit? | 18:27 |
| aetas | Carnage\, hold on, lemme look at that one | 18:27 |
| jbwiv | Corey: but aside from re-installing grub, which I did, I'm not sure what to do at this point | 18:27 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: Yep, that would work for this single mount. Do you also know how I can use the existing mountall-net event? | 18:27 |
| Corey | I *think* there's a fixgrub option. | 18:27 |
| nolcotin | \help | 18:27 |
| Carnage\ | Since that would be a more general solution to the problem | 18:27 |
| jbwiv | Corey: but I'm not certain this is even a grub problem? do you think it is? | 18:28 |
| bluezone | aetas, where is xorg.conf? lol | 18:28 |
| Corey | jbwiv: It's a good first start I'd figure? | 18:28 |
| Carnage\ | bluezone: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:28 |

| oCean | crackerjackz: swap has no mountpoint | 18:38 |
| crackerjackz | oCean, how do i make a swap then? | 18:38 |
| MrNthDegree | crackerjackz, basically you format it as the swap type of filesystem | 18:38 |
| crackerjackz | i see it now.. use as swap area | 18:38 |
| oCean | crackerjackz: you assign a certain partition to be swap... yes | 18:38 |
| crackerjackz | oCean, should it be a logical or primary partition? | 18:39 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: Why should it hang? mountall-net.conf waits on net-device-up which should make it work, shouldn't it? | 18:39 |
| oCean | crackerjackz: does not matter | 18:39 |
| usman | hello, i have installed apache server on my machine and it works fine when i type the server ip, but i want to access the web pages by using domain how do i do that ? | 18:39 |
| aetas | Carnage\, how are you going to stop it from mounting the net mount point on the initial mountall? Remove it from the fstab and enter it manually into that conf file? | 18:39 |
| ikonia | usman: you need to have a dns zone for that domain pointing at the IP address of your web server | 18:40 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: Ye, that was what I thought | 18:40 |
| Phr3d13 | still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide card | 18:40 |
| Carnage\ | Not very nice, but should work... | 18:40 |
| aetas | Carnage\, yeah thats true | 18:40 |
| crackerjackz | oCean, do i need to make a partition for boot? | 18:40 |
| crackerjackz | for /boot* | 18:41 |
| usman | ikonia: i have dns set for the server and i have defined A Record for the www | 18:41 |
| ikonia | crackerjackz: it's worth googling "fhs file system" and working out what you want/need | 18:41 |
| ikonia | crackerjackz: there is no "need" more what you want | 18:41 |
| crackerjackz | i see | 18:41 |
| ikonia | usman: ok, so it it resolving to the ip address of your machine ? | 18:41 |
| aetas | Carnage\, what is the fstab line you are using? can remove any relevant info | 18:41 |
| Phr3d13 | still trying to get a hard drive working hooked to a via vt6410 pci ide/raid card | 18:42 |
| jbwiv | I'm seeing a number of ata errors in my dmesg output: http://pastie.org/2233075 . can someone please take a look when you have a sec? Does this indicate I'm having multiple device failures? | 18:42 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: are you using it in raid mode or jbod mode | 18:42 |
| Carnage\ | http://webdav.foobar.org /media/webdav davfs rw,uid=<user>,gid=<group> 0 0 | 18:42 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: I believe I looked at one of these cards a few days ago and it wasn't supported under linux | 18:42 |
| Phr3d13 | ikonia, i keep seeing old workarounds and patches, but nothing that works anymore | 18:43 |
| aetas | Carnage\, and the msg it is giving you on boot-up? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: probably because the cards not supported | 18:43 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: are you using it in raid mode ? | 18:43 |
| Phr3d13 | trying to get it to run two separate ide drives | 18:43 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: in raid mode ? | 18:43 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: as I recall it didn't actually have a jbod mode | 18:44 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: I can't recall it exactly, but I think it just says "blabla could not be mounted." | 18:44 |
| ikonia | but I'm working from memory so don't know | 18:44 |
| Phr3d13 | so how does windoes do it? | 18:44 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: it has support for the card | 18:44 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: Surprisingly, I cannot find a corresponding entry in syslog | 18:45 |
| Phr3d13 | so that totally bites... anyone got a spare pci ide card that works with linux/ubuntu? | 18:45 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: please don't ask that sort of thing here | 18:45 |
| Phr3d13 | it is a support related question though | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: no, it's not, asking for people to give you hardware is not support | 18:46 |
| aetas | Carnage\, there's a mount option called nofail that would remove the error. If its causing a delay, it may not help that. The delay may have something to do with you mounting the directory using a DNS name that would have to be resolved. Giving it an IP may make it fail faster. Anyway, you can also change the mount option to noauto and then add the manual line to start it in your mountall-net.conf | 18:46 |
| Phr3d13 | ok, so then how do i get what i have working? | 18:46 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: it's not supported, I don't think you'll get it working | 18:46 |
| Phr3d13 | but people were able to get it working on older releases | 18:47 |
| Phr3d13 | what's the difference? | 18:47 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: yes, a lot has changed and the card isn't maintained | 18:47 |
| Carnage\ | aetas: I'll try the nofail option and give an IP adress | 18:47 |
| Carnage\ | If that fails, I shall go for noauto | 18:47 |
| Carnage\ | Thank you for your help! | 18:47 |
| aetas | it looks like this script was something they chucked together quickly so there's no command line options or a config file :( | 18:47 |
| aetas | atleast they admit its temporary | 18:48 |
| jbwiv | I'm seeing a number of ata errors in my dmesg output: http://pastie.org/2233075 . can someone please take a look when you have a sec? Does this indicate I'm having multiple device failures? | 18:48 |
| aetas | jbache, does your drive have SMART? | 18:49 |
| aetas | oops | 18:49 |
| aetas | jbwiv thats you | 18:49 |
| jbwiv | aetas: it does | 18:49 |
| jbwiv | smart reports two drives healthy | 18:49 |
| jbwiv | two have bad blcoks | 18:49 |
| MrNthDegree | healthy doesn't mean without bad blocks | 18:49 |
| jbwiv | but, of the two, one says the number of bad blocks is 16 | 18:49 |
| jbwiv | the other says -1 | 18:50 |
| MrNthDegree | healthy just means it isn't going to completely crap out entirely | 18:50 |
| jbwiv | MrNthDegree: so what should I look for? | 18:50 |
| MrNthDegree | smart usually triggers days before a disk is about to completely die | 18:50 |
| MrNthDegree | it's not that reliable | 18:50 |
| dr_willis | at not today.... | 18:50 |
| Phr3d13 | can anyone recommend me a pci ide card that works in ubuntu 11.04? | 18:50 |
| jbwiv | actually, via the disk utility, the smart status is "Disk has a few bad sectors" | 18:51 |
| ikonia | !hcl | Phr3d13 | 18:51 |
| ubottu | Phr3d13: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 18:51 |
| jbwiv | MrNthDegree: is there a reliable way to determine if a disck is bad? | 18:51 |
| aetas | jbwiv, use a disk scanner | 18:51 |
| MrNthDegree | jbwiv, not in my experience | 18:51 |
| dr_willis | Phr3d13: the generic pic ide controlles ive found all worked. but ther are in a closet somewhere.. so i dont know the brand | 18:51 |
| jbwiv | aetas: can you suggest one? | 18:52 |
| MrNthDegree | jbwiv, the most exhaustive software-based method is to do a full format for ext2/3/4 as it runs badblocks in a destructive way, which overwrites the whole disk multiple times with different patterns and verifies | 18:52 |
| Phr3d13 | dr_willis, figures, the one card i buy because it has all i need doesn't work for me in ubuntu | 18:52 |
| MrNthDegree | and by full format I don't mean the way without arguments | 18:52 |
| aetas | jbwiv, one sec | 18:53 |
| jbwiv | MrNthDegree: that'll wipe data though? | 18:53 |
| jbwiv | aetas: ok, thx | 18:53 |
| dr_willis | Phr3d13: mine are very old 4+ yrs | 18:53 |
| Phr3d13 | dr_willis, if ya ever dig em out, lemme know... i could sure use one of em... | 18:54 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: did I not make myself clear about asking for hardware | 18:55 |
| aetas | jbwiv, you can try badblocks. you likely have it installed already | 18:56 |
| humansky | Can I run an Apache virtual host site from my home directory in Ubuntu Natty, even though my home directory is encrypted?? | 18:56 |
| humansky | The reason I ask, I get the following error in the log file: (13)Permission denied: /home/humansky/workspace/novus/public/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable | 18:56 |
| aetas | jbwiv, this will check it for bad blocks and while this is running make sure you are watching your logs because it may be throwing ATA errors in the background | 18:56 |
| Phr3d13 | ikonia, what part of my last statement was asking for hardware? | 18:57 |
| jbwiv | aetas: ok, thanks. I'll give that a shot. I appreciate it | 18:57 |
| usman | ikonia: my dns is down, it was working few days ago | 18:57 |
| aetas | jbwiv, anytime. I wish you luck | 18:57 |
| Phr3d13 | ikonia, i merely stated that if he/she found them to let me know... | 18:57 |
| usman | thanks for pointing that out :) | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: if ya ever dig em out, lemme know.I could sure use them | 18:57 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that means you want them and would like them from him | 18:57 |
| aetas | humansky, disable htaccess files for that directory | 18:57 |
| ikonia | usman: there you go, you have found the problem, well done | 18:58 |
| Phr3d13 | right, but i didn't ask for them, i asked that if he found them to met me know, because i could use them | 18:58 |

| dr_willis | try them iut | 19:02 |
| sirkiller | don't like unity for some reason | 19:02 |
| fishscene | sirkiller: Gnome is more for enforced simplified use. KDE is more for people who like to customize their environment. | 19:02 |

| asdfasdfasdfasdf | hello i can't install windows 7 SP1 because i get the error code 800F0A12. i have ubuntu installed on system i'm googling and apparently the error code is because grub is installed, the solution is to mark windows partition as active from within windows, would that be ok? | 19:08 |
| === Therstrium_ is now known as Therstrium | ||
| ikonia | asdfasdfasdfasdf: don't see why not | 19:09 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | ikonia, does grub rely on active partitions to boot? i don't want to endup with an unbootable system.. | 19:09 |
| ikonia | asdfasdfasdfasdf: grub relys on the masterboot record, it will be fine | 19:10 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | ikonia, is there a linux command to see which partition is currently set to active so if a disaster happens i can rstore it? | 19:10 |

| cmyland | Hi guys. I have a weird problem on an -old- Packard Bell R1984 laptop with a rt2560pci wlan card. Ubuntu 11.04 reports that the wless card is disabled by hardware switch, but the computer doesn't have one except for a Fn+F1 combo that doesn't work (not in Windows either, btw). Rfkill lists it as hardblocked. Stopping network manager, rmmod-ing the rt2500pci driver, rfill unblock all, modprobe rt2500pci and rfkill list lists the card as NOT b | 19:16 |
| cmyland | locked, but as soon as I start network manager again it returns to Blocked: Yes. | 19:16 |
| ikonia | mang0: errr, "ok" | 19:16 |
| cmyland | I had some initial issues with ubuntu (bios?) not being able to give the pci card an IRQ address, but that is fixed, dmesg doesn't list any more issues, and the card is detected just fine. | 19:16 |

| JuJuBee_ | everything is root:plugdev and 770 | 19:23 |
| zykotick9 | JuJuBee_, you can't apply POSIX permission on a FAT or NTFS drive, it's handled by the mount command you use. | 19:23 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee_: you won't be able to mount sub directoires as it's mounted through fuse | 19:23 |

| ikonia | SuperMiguel: open the package manager, search for "gnome" and mark for removal | 19:28 |
| MrNthDegree | SuperMiguel, why not just install Xubuntu or Lubuntu or Kubuntu if you want an alternate DE? | 19:28 |
| nit-wit | JuJuBee_, look at the wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fstab | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | JuJuBee_, umask are subtracted, so your OTHER group has No permission | 19:28 |

| kinheads | girls, honestly | 19:29 |
| celthunder | kinheads: gl lol | 19:29 |
| MrNthDegree | SuperMiguel, Lubuntu and then stick fluxbox on it - but `sudo apt-get purge gnome*` will wipe out all of gnome including GDM for you =] | 19:30 |
| kinheads | so no? | 19:30 |
| ikonia | SuperMiguel: or use fluxbuntu | 19:30 |

| aetas | MrNibbles, go fori t | 19:37 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, Linux has an in-kernel NTFS module. It is read-only with limited write abilities, it sucks | 19:37 |
| edbian | MrNthDegree: there is ntfs-3g that comes with Ubuntu and is read write and works great | 19:38 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, ntfs-3g is a userland daemon which uses FUSE within the kernel to provide NTFS drivers | 19:38 |
| edbian | MrNthDegree: nevermind! :D | 19:38 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, it works well and has read/write abilities | 19:38 |
| Jordan_U | doug_f: Were you using the LiveCD installer or the alternate CD installer? I think only the alternate install CD supports LVM, which may have been your original problem. | 19:38 |
| aetas | MrNibbles, see thats where I get confused. I thought that one was mounted as fuseblk | 19:38 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, ntfs-3g uses FUSE, but it can be mounted using ntfs-3g as the type IIRC | 19:39 |
| aetas | MrNthDegree, gotcha. Much more info than I've been able to find atleast. | 19:39 |
| doug_f | Jordan_U, I was using the standard installer. Manually setting the partitions may have been the clue. | 19:39 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, FUSE just means it's a filesystem in userspace, which means it'll be slower than a kernelspace driver, but it also means you won't suffer kernel panics with bugs (usually) ;) | 19:39 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, ntfs-3g is the best route to go currently though and it's well-tested, it is even used by Mac and Solaris users ^^ | 19:41 |
| aetas | MrNibbles, yeah I'm familiar with FUSE, I just started getting confused when fuseblk showed up. I spent awhile looking through Google to tell the difference but couldn't find anything | 19:41 |
| aetas | MrNibbles, I just wanted to make sure ntfs-3g wasn't an old deprecated driver or something and fuseblk was the new one | 19:41 |
| amalgameate | hi, i've added ubuntu ALL=(ALL) ALL to my /etc/sudoers file, but i'm still getting "ubuntu is not allowed to run sudo on www". does anyone know how i can enable my ubuntu user to run sudo? | 19:41 |
| SuperMiguel | amalgameate, try sudo -i | 19:42 |
| rstaples | does anyone know of a ubuntu/linux equivalent command to windows {windows-s} for screen captures? | 19:43 |
| Jordan_U | doug_f: If you want to use LVM you should use the alternate install CD. | 19:43 |
| deathwolf_ | can anyone help me with a video problem? | 19:43 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, fuseblk is the mount name for when a FUSE-based driver is used | 19:43 |
| awkisopen | Is the new point release of Ubuntu likely to allow me to adjust the brightness on my laptop (finally)? I tried upgrading but the upgrade broke my touchpad =/ | 19:43 |
| KM0201 | rstaples: ctrl + prtscrn, i think | 19:43 |
| MrNthDegree | aetas, or that has been my experience after checking mtab, at least | 19:43 |
| amalgameate | SuperMiguel: still the same result. the weird thing is it's asking for my password for ubuntu and not for root | 19:43 |
| Jakman85 | rstaples, will the standard screencapture utility not work? | 19:43 |
| SuperMiguel | amalgameate, thats the way it should be | 19:44 |
| aetas | MrNthDegree, sounds like you're saying fuseblk and ntfs-3g could be the same thing, just different in what started the mount | 19:44 |
| KM0201 | rstaples: if you're noot deadset on using a keyboard command, you can just use the screenshot utility, it's under application/accessories | 19:44 |
| HackerII | rstaples are you a bot ? tab + prt/scr | 19:44 |
| rstaples | Jakman85, not sure how to activate it | 19:44 |
| Jakman85 | rstaples, are you using 11.04? | 19:44 |
| amalgameate | SuperMiguel: ah ok, is my /etc/sudoers file correct with the line "ubuntu ALL=(ALL) ALL"? | 19:45 |
| rstaples | HackerII, no, I know about the prnt screen, I was looking for something that would allow me to select a portion of the screen then capture it | 19:45 |
| HackerII | o | 19:45 |
| rstaples | Jack87|Away, yes | 19:45 |
| lurchmeister | hey all! | 19:45 |
| SuperMiguel | amalgameate, is ubuntu ur user? | 19:45 |
| KM0201 | rstaples: then you'll want to use the screenshot utility for that.. it has a way to capture only a specific window, or to "select an area"... to screenshot | 19:45 |
| rstaples | using 11.04 but turn off that unity ugh | 19:45 |
| amalgameate | SuperMiguel: yea | 19:45 |
| intlkleinblue | I just want to say thanks for such an amazing operating system and experience. I've been using Ubuntu only for about a year and half now and used to have all these little annoynances and problems. A couple of days ago, I started from scratch with a new Lucid 10.04 install after backing up my music and *every* problem I used to have is gone. Everything works flawlessly. Evolution doesn't hang. Brightness keys for my laptop work. Wireless | 19:45 |
| HackerII | ok, well there are some pgms that do that, just do a screen capture search, you'll find it, I've esed it a couple yrs back | 19:45 |
| Jakman85 | rstaples, its a program called "Take Screenshot" | 19:46 |
| lurchmeister | I am having internet connection issues on my linux box. I need to know where the normal location of the adsl username/password file is located. can anyone help me out? | 19:46 |
| rstaples | KM0201, ok I thought there was something by default - ok thanks | 19:46 |
| awkisopen | intlkleinblue: I wish the brightness keys for my laptop worked :( | 19:46 |
| KM0201 | rstaples: it should be under application/accessories, it's fairly straight foward | 19:46 |

| amalgameate | SuperMiguel: hmm, any idea why i still can't sudo then? | 19:47 |
| SuperMiguel | amalgameate, u using the user password right? | 19:47 |
| rstaples | Jakman85, thats the one, knew it was something like that. Thanks Jak | 19:47 |
| HackerII | rstaples http://ostatic.com/blog/six-top-screen-capture-tools-for-linux | 19:47 |
| intlkleinblue | awkisopen: yeah, that was a big issue before (was also running 10.04 before, but now it's a newer kernel or something and it works great out of the box; actually I just discovered it seconds ago as I tested it) The fresh install alleviated all of my old problems. Themed with Elegant Gnome Theme from gnome-look.org, it all looks and works fantastically. | 19:47 |
| KM0201 | the program is actually called "gnome-screenshot"... but it's labeled "Take Screenshot"... ;) | 19:48 |
| rstaples | its been a while since I been on linux/ubuntu. Loving it so far | 19:48 |

| bobg_ | holstar, I gave up on remote desktop and TV, I am using FreeNX and it is fast and stays up all the time | 19:55 |
| Escherial | hey, do most of you just use the vanilla terminal, or is there a better one out there of which i'm unaware? | 19:55 |
| bobg_ | Or you can go and get the free version of NoMachine server (limited to 2 connections) | 19:55 |
| doug_f | dr_willis, I think the thing that really got me past the error is that Manually specifying the /boot made sure the installer tried to install it to the right drive(sdb). | 19:55 |

| przemek_ | e_t_ and as soon as I bring it up and try any lookup in private network problem comes back | 20:17 |
| e_t_ | przemek_: Then something in the network config IS setting a gateway on that interface. | 20:17 |

| przemek_ | e_t_ right and how to find it? | 20:17 |
| kongo_86 | extraclassic: 10.10 or 10.04? | 20:17 |

| przemek_ | e_t_ /etc/network/interfaces | 20:18 |
| gr4y5ky | ActionParsnip: sorry won't work because i don't now how to create thath special table ^^ i copyid the main table with a script and edited the default route... | 20:18 |
| e_t_ | przemek_: Can you pastebin the file? | 20:18 |
| przemek_ | e_t_ here? | 20:18 |

| gr4y5ky | isn't there a way so save the ip route table in a file or somethin and load it back after reboot? | 20:19 |

| e_t_ | gr4y5ky: You can recreate the route with the "ip route" command. That is what you'd put into rc.local. | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | gr4y5ky: is it a number of commands though. How do you manually apply the setting? | 20:22 |
| alaing | how do I change owner/group form the command line. At the moment its owner by root | 20:23 |

| === varunc is now known as varunthacker | ||
| kroq-gar78 | alaing: I meant for you to replace the things inside the single quotes with the user group and folder | 20:26 |

| chriswr | how do i install a tar.gz file? | 20:30 |
| Phr3d13 | hase_, check the boxes in the window management category for all the options you want on | 20:30 |

| tzhuang | hello gentlemen. can anyone point me to a good music notation software to use under ubuntu? | 20:31 |
| Fuchs | chriswr: usually better not at all. This is probably source code, which needs to be compiled. Try looking for a suitable .deb package first | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tzhuang: how do you mean "music notification"? | 20:31 |
| yaadam | Developers can add a detect system of this bug - and if detect bios LBA bug then installation sugest make boot partiotion | 20:31 |
| hase_ | Ok i can move them now, I wonder if I can get the buttons back on them | 20:31 |
| Fuchs | chriswr: if there is none, unpack it and read the INSTALL and README files. If it advises you to do a ./configure, make, make install: do a checkinstall instead of make install instead. But still I can't recommend it | 20:31 |
| yaadam | that all good luck. | 20:31 |

| asus123 | Neoncamouflage so what did you do? | 20:39 |
| kroq-gar78 | chriswr: maybe the file from the website is source too? | 20:39 |
| Neoncamouflage | asus123: Not that I know if, that happened with 10.04 with me. When it first comes to that loading screen with the dots give it about 10 seconds and hit esc, goes to a code screen where it then actually installs | 20:39 |

| chriswr | ActionParsnip, thnx for the help | 20:40 |
| asus123 | or reason why i should not | 20:40 |
| vooze | linxeh, its a virtual server | 20:40 |
| linxeh | vooze: then go with 32 bit | 20:41 |
| Neoncamouflage | asus123: If you're using more than 3.2gigs of RAM then 64 bit is better, as well as if you're doing high quality video rendering. But for most users you won't tell a difference. | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | chriswr: that's just that package, it will pull in other packages which will be bigger, probably egoboo-data | 20:41 |
| Neoncamouflage | asus123: But make sure your computer can support 64 bit | 20:41 |
| asus123 | my computer can....if i can get the damn cd to install? | 20:42 |
| chriswr | ActionParsnip, yeah i just did apt-get and it all adds up to same size | 20:42 |
| SkiOne | sorry if this question has been asked a million times but... is there a way to get a list of all the apache and php modules installed on a system so I can replicate it on another? | 20:43 |
| Neoncamouflage | asus123: Then I'd just try to reinstall it again, hit esc when the loading screen comes up. Possibly burn a new CD as something may have gone wrong with the one you're using, unlikely but there's a chance. | 20:43 |
| dolbys | hi allz | 20:43 |
| asus123 | Neoncamouflage of course it can.....its is a quad core processor | 20:43 |
| dolbys | how i can see if in my vps is installed php ? | 20:44 |
| asus123 | i have tried using cd and two flash drives (one with 32 bit and another with amd64)....and tried the "try before installing" option....maybe I just need to go straight to install | 20:44 |

| jvgeli | using natty on a laptop. I get freezes on log. A blog suggested to force version of pm_utils to lucid as it was the one causing the problem. Installed and somehow it fixed it. is some experiencing the same issue? | 21:14 |
| asus123 | edbian it gives Ubuntu 11.04 with dots under it for a LOOONG time...and just now the screen finally went black.... | 21:14 |

| asus123 | edbian, shall i try burning a new cd of amd64 | 21:19 |
| edbian | asus123: Yeah, escape key takes the splash away so we can see errors. Now we just need to get one that is meaningful. What is the earliest error you can see? Anything regarding /dev/sda or sr0 ? | 21:19 |
| edbian | asus123: I don't think the USB drive is the problem. If you booted a new one that is fine with me. | 21:19 |

| asus123 | edbian, should I run puppylinux cd and use gparted to make a partition for ubuntu first? | 21:22 |
| ronqbc | what can i do agaisnt this? http://img546.imageshack.us/i/screenshotnh.png/ | 21:22 |

| dtcrshr | is mediubuntu down? | 21:23 |
| asus123 | usb drive is plugged into front panel, should I try plugging into mobo at the back instead? | 21:23 |
| edbian | asus123: That will not fix the problem. Try booting the system with the USB drive in a different usb port | 21:23 |

| astraljava | tktiddle: Use Synaptic, or edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually. | 21:24 |
| edbian | asus123: no modeset solves the problem that the screen turns black while booting. That is not your problem. | 21:24 |

| BluesKaj | tktiddle, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ... I have to ask | 21:29 |

| Tigerboy | tripelbier: I think you just close the chanserv? | 21:32 |
| astraljava | anth0ny: -dev packages have headers for compiling other software. | 21:32 |
| edbian | anth0ny: dev stands for 'developers' i.e. people who write code. | 21:32 |
| astraljava | anth0ny: You won't need those for plain usage. | 21:32 |
| edasdsadsa | Gunz4MiPPle: why not | 21:32 |
| edasdsadsa | edbian: that annoys me | 21:33 |
| anth0ny | edbian, astraljava : thanks | 21:33 |
| Rudolf_ | Dual booting ubuntu with win is not as easy as i thought | 21:33 |
| Tigerboy | dev is important if you ever have to install with a uncompiled package... I tend to just go ahead and check the devs too because it shouldn't hurt anything | 21:33 |
| edbian | edasdsadsa: Unfortunately that's the intended behavior. I am not aware of any way to change it. I think you'd have to edit the source yourself (not easy at all) or contact the developers. | 21:33 |

| jbwiv | guys, after an apt-get update and a reboot today, my system is unbootable. After the grub screen, I get a blank screen with a flashing cursor, and then moments later I'm dropped to busybox. Obviously no logs at this stage, but dmesg has messages like "ata1 Failed to identify. I/O Error, err_mask=0x40" or something very close to that, and also "scsi_alloc_dev: allocation failure during scan, some devices might not be configured". I'm b | 21:37 |
| astraljava | Rudolf_: Do you have a support question? If so, then please ask. | 21:37 |
| edasdsadsa | Gunz4MiPPle: it is often so, that a window is on the other desktop | 21:37 |
| edbian | jbwiv: Those are errors reading the hdd | 21:38 |
| edasdsadsa | Gunz4MiPPle: and it is really difficult to see if the window is more or less than 50 percent on the desktop | 21:38 |
| Rudolf_ | Let ubuntu be installd first | 21:38 |
| jbwiv | edbian: which would mean the harddrive is bad? | 21:38 |
| edbian | jbwiv: Possibly. Can you boot a liveCD ? | 21:38 |
| edbian | jbwiv: You can use the live CD to check and possibly repair | 21:39 |
| Rudolf_ | What does ubuntu uses instead of registry? | 21:39 |
| jbwiv | edbian: which would be odd, because yes, I can boot up to the live cd. I can assemble the software raid groups based on those drives. I can scan for logical volumes, and mount them successfully. | 21:39 |
| astraljava | Rudolf_: I don't understand. What is it that you're trying to do exactly? | 21:39 |
| edbian | jbwiv: Perhaps it's just having trouble finding the correct hdds. I have never set up a raid but I know they are usually problematic | 21:40 |
| jbwiv | edbian: not sure how I should repair :-/ Not exactly sure what went wrong. I'm tempted to just try to re-install but keep existing partitions/volumes/raid groups | 21:40 |
| Fenixdeux | If I install Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition on a VPS box then can I graphically configure it from another Ubuntu ? | 21:40 |
| Rudolf_ | K..k i am going | 21:40 |
| jbwiv | edbian: first time in many years that I've had problem out of raid...not even sure raid is the issue here ;-) | 21:40 |
| edbian | jbwiv: Boot the liveCd and look at the drives in gparted. gparted will show errors in the list of partitions. | 21:40 |
| edbian | jbwiv: I'm not really sure raid is the issue either | 21:40 |

| jkoudys | hi all - ubuntu 11. Can I disable the appmenu just for certain programs (the menu items that go along the top panel)? I want to turn it off for the gimp, because the menu doesn't show up if I have the toolbox selected | 21:43 |
| edbian | chriswr: try sudo rm -r /media/<numbers>/.Trash-1000 | 21:43 |
| Tigerboy | tripelbb: sorry had a phone call... well i think you can close the chat windows? if that doesn't work the only way to do is -- /quit in the nickserv and go back to the server in the accounts window that you want to stay on and disable/reenable | 21:45 |
| Tigerboy | kind of stupid but you can also write a plugin I suppose | 21:45 |
| trism | jkoudys: try: UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= gimp; | 21:45 |
| jkoudys | trism: I can try that. My ideal would be to have the menubar for the Image window show, when I'm selecting the toolbox (those don't have menus.) Is there a fancy way to do that? | 21:46 |
| fishscene | How do I expand an NTFS partition in Ubuntu? | 21:47 |
| edbian | fishscene: using gparted | 21:47 |
| edbian | fishscene: unmount it first though! :D | 21:47 |
| fishscene | Everything I can find talk about "resize", but they only talk about how to SHRINK. I need to expand. | 21:47 |
| trism | jkoudys: anything more complicated than just disabling the appmenu for the whole app is unlikely to be straightforward | 21:47 |
| fishscene | I have 3 partitions. I need to expand the 2nd into the 3rd | 21:48 |
| edbian | fishscene: You can resize if there is unallocated space around it. | 21:48 |
| fishscene | edbian: gparted isn't giving me an option do do that. | 21:48 |
| ubun | i cant delete or transfer files off of my mp3 players and flash drive... it always shows errors... (i just did a fresh install) do i need to install drivers? | 21:48 |
| edbian | fishscene: To do what? | 21:48 |
| fishscene | It seems to only be able to shrink partition 2. I can not figure out how to expand it into unallocated "partition 3" | 21:48 |
| jkoudys | trism: yeah it's a shame though.. the gimp could actually gain ground with the OSX Photoshop crowd if it just supported the appmenu better and used the small icons by default (looks very close) | 21:48 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: are you sure they are next to each other | 21:48 |
| edbian | fishscene: please use my name when talking to me | 21:49 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: you have to remove partition 3 first you know | 21:49 |
| fishscene | edbian: sorry. | 21:49 |
| jkoudys | trism: Is there a way to make the menubar always show the menu options, so I don't have to put my cursor at the top to see what menu items I have? | 21:49 |
| edbian | fishscene: that's ok. Explain what you have and what you want. (include details about what data is on what partition) | 21:49 |
| BrianOfTacoma | I am trying to add a 2nd monitor on Classic desktop (11.04) with an nvidia graphics card and compositing isn't working on the 2nd monitor. 1st monitor is unchanged but I do not get windows decorations or the ability to move windows with the 2nd monitor. Where should I look for help? | 21:49 |
| fishscene | edbian, tigerboy: I have removed partition 3 and it is seen as "unallocated". Partition 2 contains an NTFS partition holding Windows Server 2003. | 21:50 |
| edbian | fishscene: You want to grow partition2 to take the space that is available then? | 21:50 |
| edbian | fishscene: Is partition 2 mounted? | 21:50 |
| chriswr | edbian, it says rm: cannot remove for every file | 21:50 |
| fishscene | edbian: yes, I want to grow partition 2. Let me check. | 21:50 |
| trism | jkoudys: there isn't an option to disable hiding the menu, although there should be. there is a bug report about it somewhere but last I checked it was marked invalid because it is a design decision | 21:50 |
| edbian | chriswr: is the .Trash still there? | 21:51 |
| trism | jkoudys: they may have reconsidered and may allow it in future releases, I haven't checked in a while | 21:51 |
| edbian | fishscene: If it is mounted you need to unmount it. gparted shows a pair of keys on mounted partitions | 21:51 |
| fishscene | the disk is not mounted | 21:51 |
| chriswr | edbian, yes along with all the files | 21:51 |
| edbian | chriswr: Then who cares | 21:51 |
| jkoudys | trism: surprising they wouldn't give the option; as a longtime linux user being able to fiddle with these things is the main reason I'm on linux | 21:51 |
| jkoudys | trism: thanks for your help | 21:51 |
| edbian | chriswr: sorry, they are still there or are not? | 21:51 |
| Voting | when a file copy fails and I want more details on WHY it failed, where should I look? Which log file would contain info about it. | 21:51 |
| chriswr | edbian, they are | 21:52 |
| edbian | fishscene: What options do you have on this parititon? shrink only? | 21:52 |
| edbian | fishscene: You should have the resize button if I remember correctly. | 21:52 |
| Scoup | how can I disable btrfsck from startup? | 21:52 |
| edbian | chriswr: gksudo nautilus take that to the usb drive, delete the .Trash file with that. | 21:52 |
| fishscene | edbian: I'm using gparted (GUI) on Ubuntu 10.10. I have a resize button, but any options to increase the size are greyed out (as if it doesn't recognize the existence of anything beyond partition 2. I also have a handy slider at the top where I can visually adjust and it does not account for the unallocated space next to partition 2 (the former partition 3) | 21:53 |
| edbian | fishscene: Did you delete partition 2 and apply the changes yet? | 21:54 |
| fishscene | yes | 21:54 |
| fishscene | wait no | 21:54 |
| edbian | fishscene: Yeah, apply the changes. | 21:54 |
| fishscene | sorry. I did not delete partition 2. I need it intact. | 21:54 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: try to commit the changes? (after you removed the 3rd partition) | 21:54 |
| edbian | fishscene: .... ? | 21:54 |
| chriswr | edbian, still wont give me the option to delete when i right click the trash folder | 21:54 |
| fishscene | sorry, let me restate. lol. | 21:54 |
| edbian | chriswr: Can you highlight it and press the delete key? | 21:55 |
| fishscene | Partition 2 holds a bootable Windows Server 2003 installation. Partition 3 was deleted and is now unallocated (yes, I applied the changes) | 21:55 |
| chriswr | edbian, tried it and it did nothing | 21:55 |
| fishscene | I need to be able to boot into Server 2003 after I expand the partition | 21:55 |
| edbian | fishscene: gparted -> refresh or rescan or whatever it says | 21:55 |
| edbian | chriswr: Is this thing mounted read only or something? | 21:55 |
| edbian | chriswr: I think when you unmount it btw it cleans the trash for you. But I'm not sure about that. | 21:56 |
| chriswr | edbian, i recognized that theres a padlock symbol buy my flash drive folder though if that can have something to do with it | 21:56 |
| tripelbb | Ubuntu started up "wierd" twice. 1. had no panel for finding the windows. So I minimized xchat and then had no way to bring it back. --What could I have done in that situation? (other than reboot. | 21:56 |
| SuperMiguel | does ubuntu have a minimal install with raid support? | 21:56 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: try to expand the server in windows server rather than linux | 21:56 |
| fishscene | edbian: I have refreshed. It is reporting partition 1, 2, and unallocated space properly. :) | 21:56 |
| edbian | chriswr: That means your user does not have permission to edit it but I've been doing things as root (which should be allowed to) | 21:56 |
| fishscene | Tigerboy: Microsoft has made that impossible. :( You can not expand boot partitions in Windows. | 21:56 |
| edbian | fishscene: Now can you expand 2? | 21:56 |
| fishscene | edbian: Nope | 21:56 |
| edbian | fishscene: Can you make a screenshot of gparted? | 21:57 |
| chriswr | edbian, how could i change it from read only if it is? | 21:57 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: yes try to boot from another partition? | 21:57 |
| fishscene | sure. standby.. | 21:57 |
| edbian | chriswr: unmount it, take it out, put it back in, mount it. | 21:57 |
| gribouille | ubuntu screwed my X configuration. now, the 1280x1024 screen resolution isn't available any more. what should I do ? | 21:57 |
| edbian | chriswr: Try that cause it might fix the problem for two reaosns now | 21:57 |
| tucemiux | gribouille: can you change the resolution using "Monitor"??? or use the command line utility, use xrandr to see what capabilities your monitor can use currently | 21:58 |
| chriswr | edbian, still there :/ | 21:58 |
| pooltable | how do i use the command line to get to a folder like this My Name | 21:59 |
| tripelbb | When I plug this javafon in, how can I tell if it removed the trash when I had to forcibly make the computer reboot? | 21:59 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, xrandr says the maximum resolution is 1024x768. but previously, I used 1280x1024 | 21:59 |
| tucemiux | pooltable: enclose it in quotes OR use the tab key, type My and then tab it | 21:59 |

| sanjid | Disk utility is giving a warning for reallocated sector count, and saying that the drive has a few bad sectors. It's a new drive. Is this drive toast? | 22:01 |
| tucemiux | gribouille: you might want to reconfigure X or you can manually configure your xorg so that you can use the resolution you want, I suggest you try reconfiguring X first | 22:01 |

| pooltable | tucemiux what if it is a file same thing? | 22:04 |
| chriswr | edbian, should i just format it? | 22:04 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, I did that countless times, and it didn't change anything | 22:05 |
| edbian | chriswr: that was going to be my suggestion yet. i/o error is not good | 22:05 |
| tucemiux | pooltable: yes -- lets say you want to run a command in the current directory -- then ./MyCom -->then hit TAB key | 22:05 |
| szal | stopshoe: if you had described the problem instead of asking an unnecessary question, we would be one step further already ^^ | 22:05 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't ask me any question | 22:05 |
| chriswr | edbian, i have no clue what i/o error means | 22:05 |

| boehmer | hello | 22:08 |
| chriswr | edbian, but either way i formated it and it wiped it clean | 22:08 |

| boehmer | it actually works when booting natty liveCD. on my productive system with maverick sound keeps being player via rear speaker jack | 22:09 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, do you mean I should quit X ? | 22:09 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 22:09 |
| boehmer | KM0201: i have a DH55HC intel motherboard with onboard audio | 22:09 |
| edbian | chriswr: I think it's a problem with the partition on the flash drive. | 22:09 |
| KM0201 | boehmer: well that doesn't really tell us what your sound device is. | 22:09 |
| edbian | chriswr: Yeah partitions erase the data! | 22:09 |
| pooltable | tucemiux still says i do not have permission | 22:10 |

| fishscene | edbian, tigerboy: Everything is working like a charm. Thanks again guys - I really appreciate your help. | 22:10 |
| edbian | fishscene: sure | 22:10 |
| tripelbb | what is the command to tell me what if any pidgin is still running. I cant tell from top but it is running somewhere. I cant tell from the panel either. | 22:10 |
| tucemiux | pooltable: making something executable and not having permissions on a file are two different things, you need to own the file if you want to make changes on it | 22:11 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, I did that and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but nothing happened | 22:11 |
| boehmer | KM0201: "00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)" | 22:11 |
| tripelbb | When I plug this javafon in, how can I tell if it removed the trash when I had to forcibly make the computer reboot? | 22:11 |
| Tigerboy | fishscene: great to hear | 22:11 |
| chriswr | edbian, works fine now for some reason | 22:11 |
| tripelbb | Ubuntu started up "wierd" twice. 1. had no panel for finding the windows. So I minimized xchat and then had no way to bring it back. --What could I have done in that situation? (other than reboot. | 22:11 |
| pooltable | tucemiux i need permission to it | 22:11 |
| KM0201 | boehmer: hmm, thats the same one i have, i had to install pulse audio, gnome-media, then use gnome-streamer, and manually set it to go through to my headphones, when i plugged htem in | 22:11 |
| chriswr | edbian, could it have been that the first time i used the flash drive was on a windows 7 pc? | 22:11 |
| tucemiux | gribouille: how did your resolution get borked ? | 22:11 |
| stopshoe | Ubuntu will not let my laptop connect to the internet wirelessly. | 22:12 |
| edbian | chriswr: I don't think that would cause a problem. | 22:12 |
| KM0201 | boehmer: but i have a laptop, not a PC... but i imagine you have a similar scenario on your hand | 22:12 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, I didn't do anything. ubuntu did it all | 22:12 |
| fishscene | tripelbb: I have a script that kills stuff that's running: killall -9 (name of program here) For example: killall -9 virtualbox | 22:12 |
| tripelbb | Ubuntu started up "wierd" twice. 2. I started it in "recovery" mode and got a cli and no gui. What could I have typed in to start the gui? | 22:12 |
| edbian | chriswr: It's not a problem I've ever heard of anyway | 22:12 |
| Baltazaar | tripelbb, ps -aux | grep pidgin | 22:12 |
| Tigerboy | tripelbb: i think you can close x -- ctrl-alt-f1 and then load back up with gdm3 command | 22:12 |
| boehmer | KM0201: on my laptop for work with fedora i had to do the same to use internal speakers (had set it to docking station sound the other day) | 22:12 |
| tripelbb | FishFace, I understand how to killit, I wanted to know what's gong on. | 22:12 |
| KM0201 | ya | 22:12 |
| Tigerboy | er sorry misunderstood the question | 22:12 |
| tucemiux | pooltable: sudo chown gribouille:gribouille [fileName] --->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 22:13 |
| chriswr | edbian, yeah i googled it and couldnt even find a fourm with the same problem but got it fixed now so maybe it wont happen again | 22:13 |
| edbian | chriswr: Flash memory is based on magentism. Sometimes the specific fields that represent the bits get messed up. They just magnets after all, they wear out and such. This will cause corruption which will cause a problem like we saw. In other words, USB drives wear out slowly | 22:13 |
| tripelbb | tigerboy, which question did you answer? heh. The last ones were reaskings. | 22:13 |
| boehmer | KM0201: i run kubuntu and in the preferences dialog there is only 1 device:( hmm, maybe it's only a config problem? | 22:13 |
| Tigerboy | tripelbb: thought it was a problem with the desktop/window manager | 22:13 |

| boehmer | KM0201: i'll investigate that. thanks so far for the hint! | 22:14 |
| edbian | tucemiux: it can with wake on lan! :D | 22:14 |
| Tigerboy | ok it's quicker than a full reboot | 22:14 |
| KM0201 | boehmer: did you install pulseaudio? | 22:14 |
| chriswr | edbian, haha this ones just about new so not to slowly apparently :P | 22:14 |
| gribouille | tucemiux, but I didn't do anything special. I just booted my computer as usual | 22:14 |

| gmachine_24 | Greetings all. I'm running 10.04LTS but have booted live for this session because the partition I set up for / is almost full. This is a dual boot comp (Vista) with almost 120GB of empty, unused, unformatted space on one "end". Can I expand the partition with the root folder etc? | 22:33 |

| AlfE1 | where does network manager store the vpn logs? | 22:34 |
| xangua | tripelbb: on startup aplications, in the options tab, do you have set to remember the apps when you log out¿ | 22:34 |
| tripelbb | yes, but I wasnt running pidgin. | 22:34 |
| gmachine_24 | the /dev/sda6 partition (i.e. /) has 5 GB of space, 4.56GB used, 566.4MB empty. The 4.56GB of used space seems like a lot. | 22:34 |
| astraljava | aikInsaan: Modern Xorg doesn't necessarily need it, it will probe the system and configure everything on-the-fly. Do you have a real problem, however? | 22:34 |
| tripelbb | oh unless it was in hiding similarly. I see. | 22:35 |
| smax | I already have grub installed and don't want menu.lst overwritten. Does ubuntu setup just append to that ? | 22:35 |
| xangua | well how about you un mark it and try tripelbb | 22:35 |
| tripelbb | xangua, it must have been similarly "in hiding" since I had run it and closed it (or s I thought.) | 22:35 |

| gk0199 | Hey guys | 22:37 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbar: thanks. using gparted? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that will never work | 22:37 |
| gmachine_24 | sorry, wildbat | 22:37 |
| aquarat | does anyone here have any experience with AsteriskGUI ? | 22:38 |
| Phr3d13 | gmachine_24, you should be able to resize the /dev/sda6 if there is free/unpartitioned space with gparted | 22:38 |
| pooltable | phr3d13 sound like my video card i can not update to old | 22:38 |
| tripelbb | Can I scrunch up files at ne end of my patition before I repartition? | 22:38 |
| Phr3d13 | ikonia, why not? | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: because the kernel and associated libraries have changed a lot in that time, as I explained to you earlier | 22:39 |
| wildbat | gmachine_24: ya ~ you can clone it ~ then resize if the space isn't next to the sda6 ~ you may wanna double check with grub, and fstab after to resize/move | 22:39 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: I'm just reading through the patch now and it won't work | 22:39 |
| AcidRain | how do i configure ftpdpro to follow sym links? | 22:40 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbat: yeah, see, that's my concern. the / partition is surrounded, so to speak, by other partitions - I did a complete manual format, etc. | 22:40 |
| gk0199 | hey guys | 22:41 |
| gk0199 | lubuntu vs xubuntu | 22:41 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbat: when you say "clone it," ... are you referring to the entire install or just the partitions in question? | 22:41 |
| aikInsaan | astraljava: it is with reference to this problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/165202 which was solved (temporarily) with an update but is back! | 22:41 |
| ikonia | gk0199: if you can't even be bothered to ask a question properly, it's best you don't speak | 22:41 |
| gk0199 | sorry about that | 22:42 |
| wildbat | gmachine_24: just the partition. | 22:42 |
| gk0199 | my question is, for a computer with 760MB ram, 2Ghz CPU, what OS would you recommend for fastest performance, Lubuntu or Xubuntu | 22:43 |
| KM0201 | gk0199: hands down, Lubuntu. | 22:43 |
| wildbat | gmachine_24: i would guess your /home is in sda6 too ? | 22:43 |
| ikonia | gk0199: you won't see much difference in either | 22:43 |
| === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon | ||
| KM0201 | gk0199: i disagree w/ ikonia, or he's not used the current incarnation of xubuntu (which is almost as bloated as gnome) | 22:43 |
| KM0201 | there is a big difference | 22:43 |
| Phr3d13 | ikonia, i just can't see "it won't work" as being the answer, when it used to be able to work. there has to be some way... if people can play wii in ubuntu, i should be able to use my hardware in ubuntu | 22:43 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbat, I don't know if I'm being thick - I was up until almost 2 a.m. watching the Red Sox and the Rays - so I'm a little bleary. No - sda6 is the / partition; sda7 is the home folder, using only 3.15GB of 10.18GB available | 22:44 |
| gk0199 | I will try Lubuntu thanks | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: why can't you accept "not supported any more, won't work, dropped" as a valid answer | 22:44 |
| AranelMobil | need help, my ext3 partition got corrupted twice in the same week and I see some ata5.00: failed command: READ SECTOR(S) on rescue shell. What should I do? (OS is fully functioning, so I dont think its a widespread corruption) | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: via did not make their products information open so only released patches for specific kernel versions and they couldn't keep up/be bothered to keep up with faster moving distros like ubuntu and fedora | 22:44 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: why is that hard to accept ? | 22:45 |
| Phr3d13 | if people can use ubuntu on a dinosaur, why can't i use my dinosaur part? | 22:45 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobil: you are concerned your hard drive is failing? | 22:45 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: please don't talk nonsense, I'm trying to help you, if you want to be silly, do it elsewhere | 22:45 |
| === Micki_ is now known as Micki | ||
| gmachine_24 | Phr3d13: because dinosaurs are extinct | 22:45 |
| Phr3d13 | lol | 22:45 |
| wildbat | gmachine_24: hmmm then why don't you move the sda7 to the 120GB space and have sda6 resize, so both partition will have plenty of space | 22:45 |
| AranelMobil | gmachine_24: maybe it is, maybe not. I'm not sure. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: if you look in the readme of that via patch you'll see if doesn't even list your card the 6410 as supported | 22:46 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbat, OK. I'll try that. After backing up everything. | 22:46 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobil: Well it seems that's what you need to figure out. | 22:46 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: so the information from via is 1.) 9.10 was the last ubuntu version that patch was made for 2.) that patch does not support officially your card | 22:46 |
| Phr3d13 | but if you look at the files in the deb, my card is listed | 22:46 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobile: have you run the e2fsck check | 22:46 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: so why is it hard to grasp that it's not supported if the company that makes the patch are not listing it as a supported on either the card or the OS version | 22:47 |
| PlasmaSheep | I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu with arch - what should I put on the kernel line in menu.lst? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: either way that patch will never get applied to the 2.6.38 kernel | 22:47 |
| AranelMobil | gmachine_24: I run it first time It occured and It got fixed for a day or two. Now Im running it too but It prints lots of ata5 exception failed command READ SECTOR(S) message to screen. | 22:48 |
| Phr3d13 | { "vt6410",PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_6410, 0x00, 0x2f, VIA_UDMA_133 | VIA_BAD_AST | VIA_NO_ENABLES }, | 22:48 |
| gmachine_24 | wildbat: is 4.56GB used by the / partition when there is a separate home folder - is that a lot? or has Ubuntu grown so big it now occupies that much space | 22:48 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that doesn't mean it's supported | 22:48 |
| PlasmaSheep | where is the ubuntu kernel? | 22:49 |
| ikonia | Phr3d13: that means there is an entry in the patch that has the reference vt6410 in | 22:49 |
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: in /boot | 22:49 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: what's the file? | 22:49 |
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: if you're running arch you should be able to work out the kernel file | 22:49 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: stupid question, sorry | 22:49 |
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: are you using grub installed from #ubuntu or from arch | 22:49 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobil: can you get hold of www.spinrite.com? It takes forever, but competely scans your drive, sector by sector, and can even take the information from the bad sectors, write it to good sectors, and then block out the bad sectors so they won't be used any more. But it cost $$. | 22:50 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: using arch grub | 22:50 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: my kernel line pointed to the wrong place, fixing it now | 22:50 |
| === k9 is now known as Infernet | ||
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: ok so you should be asking in #archlinux | 22:50 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: yes but I needed to know where the kernel is | 22:50 |
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: same as it is in every distro | 22:50 |
| Infernet | hey all | 22:51 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, or you can use badblocks to test in a far better way than SpinRite can ever test | 22:51 |
| Dulak | PlasmaSheep: ubuntu kernel resides in /boot, same as most linux distros | 22:51 |
| PlasmaSheep | ikonia: I've found out the hard way ubuntu is often not what you'd expect | 22:51 |
| ikonia | PlasmaSheep: it's laid out exactly the same as every other linux distro | 22:51 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, badblocks can overwrite whole HDD many times in exhaustive ways, marking all bad areas so they are never used again by any filesystem supporting the lists | 22:51 |
| MrNthDegree | (which is all the exts and btrfs IIRC) | 22:51 |
| gmachine_24 | MrNthDegree: For real? Great. Thanks. AranelMobil are you catching what MrNthDegree said? | 22:52 |
| gmachine_24 | MrNthDegree, but badblocks can just check to bad sectors, correct? You don't need to completely overwrite the drive? | 22:52 |
| AranelMobil | sorry got distracted for a moment, what do you suggest? | 22:53 |
| gmachine_24 | scroll up | 22:53 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, you can check if you do non-destructive, yes. But it's not the best way | 22:53 |
| gmachine_24 | MrNthDegree, so I assume you're recommending a full back up, and then basically overwrite the entire drive and do a reinstall? | 22:54 |
| AranelMobil | what is badblocks? is it an app? :) | 22:54 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobil it is | 22:54 |
| gmachine_24 | CLI I think but maybe there is a GUI version?? | 22:54 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, the best way is overwrite+verify tests, which are exhaustive. Results can be integrated with formatting, by doing mkfs.ext4 -cc (or mkfs.ext4 -c -c, same thing) on a new drive, it will overwrite many times as an exhaustive test | 22:54 |
| gmachine_24 | MrNthDegree, Thanks. | 22:54 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, yeah, that is the best way, that's the way people used to do it on ancient machines. Slackware still has people do it normally. | 22:54 |
| AranelMobil | can you give me the exact command to use it for sdc1? | 22:55 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, to reformat it? | 22:55 |
| poil | hey, im trying to make my webcam and micro (netbook) work on ubuntu, and the wikia says for my model : "Webcam - working otb " - what does otb mean ? | 22:55 |
| === tripelbb is now known as TRIPELbier | ||
| AranelMobil | no, to check it. I dont have a spare hdd to back up my data | 22:56 |
| poil | and what do i have to do | 22:56 |
| poil | ? | 22:56 |
| Corey | poil: Out of the box, presumably. | 22:56 |
| AranelMobil | so I should fix this one on the fly. | 22:56 |
| poil | um | 22:56 |
| dtcrshr | how do i change the panel menus? i got now only a "start button" like, i want to go back to ubuntu default with system, locals and aplications.. | 22:56 |
| poil | idk what out of the box means lol. i'm new with ubuntu | 22:56 |
| gmachine_24 | AranelMobil: Everyone is always happy to help. But don't forget the man badblocks option | 22:56 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, to check in a non-destructive way: sudo fsck.ext4 -c /dev/sdc1 | 22:56 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, that calls badblocks in addition to a filesystem check | 22:56 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, you'll need to do it while unmounted though, if that's a system partition you'll need to use a livecd ideally | 22:57 |
| gmachine_24 | MrNthDegree, how much time are we talking about for say a 250GB drive - to do a complete overwrite and test | 22:57 |
| dtcrshr | is it possible? | 22:57 |
| poil | !otb | 22:57 |
| TRIPELbier | today I started up with bashed in panels, only one and that didnt work. How could I have exited gnome and restarted it. 10.04 | 22:57 |
| AranelMobil | MrNthDegree isnt it the same as automatic scan started on bootup? | 22:57 |
| Dulak | gmachine_24: hours | 22:57 |
| gmachine_24 | how many hours | 22:57 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, not with -c it isn't | 22:57 |
| Dulak | gmachine_24: at least 2, maybe as much as 5 | 22:58 |
| gmachine_24 | spinrite just took 72 hours to do do a drive | 22:58 |
| poil | Corey what do "out of the box" mean ? what am i supposed to do ? i'm just nowhere with ubuntu atm | 22:58 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, -c is equivalent to "Surface Scan" on scandisk or /R on CHKDSK, it checks for bad sectors fully | 22:58 |
| gmachine_24 | Dulak, thanks. 2 or 5 hours is easy | 22:58 |
| TRIPELbier | gmachine_24, I suppose it would also depend on the speed of your drive and if there were errors on the drive so it had to redo things. | 22:58 |
| MrNthDegree | gmachine_24, given badblocks on destructive write does 4 overwrite patterns and verifies... a long time | 22:58 |
| gmachine_24 | TRIPELbier, I suppose you would be right about that | 22:58 |
| Buck | #libxenon | 22:59 |
| MrNthDegree | it's between 4 and 8 times slower than a zero fill | 22:59 |
| gmachine_24 | OK, all. Thanks. | 22:59 |
| gk0199 | can you guys answer a general question about routers? or is it too off topic | 22:59 |
| AranelMobil | MrNthDegree I asked it because Im already running a fsck scan -automatic one- and It just prints lots of ata5 error output and seems to do nothing. | 22:59 |
| ikonia | gk0199: it's offtopic | 22:59 |
| AcidRain | gk0199: pm me | 22:59 |
| AcidRain | i am leet with routers | 22:59 |
| TRIPELbier | poil out of the box means with standart ubuntu. should be: vanilla with the iso, or with the standard install. | 22:59 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, with -c it does a full scan of every sector/block, so it should note down all the bad ones | 23:00 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, the automatic scan just restores the journal and looks at basic inconsistencies | 23:00 |
| TRIPELbier | gk0199, I suggest #hardware which ends up ##hardware | 23:00 |
| poil | and what am i supposed to do to enable micro and webcam on ubuntu, if it says "it's working orb" ? | 23:00 |
| TRIPELbier | new concept, journal. MrNthDegree, thanks | 23:01 |
| AranelMobil | MrNthDegree okay, btw mine is ext3 so I should run fsck.ext3 instead of 4? | 23:01 |
| MrNthDegree | AranelMobil, yep :) | 23:01 |
| TRIPELbier | poil I 've done that. I found it on a webpage. Let me see if I can remember (dont know about working orb. What version do you have? -- go to speaker icon on the panel and RIGHTclick to get microphone stuff. | 23:02 |
| * MrNthDegree is now off to bed, good luck AranelMobil :) | 23:02 | |
| poil | 10 04 lst | 23:02 |
| poil | umm | 23:02 |
| AranelMobil | thank you :) | 23:02 |
| TRIPELbier | poil for your webcam it takes more. First you have to determine if it is supported and if so supported with your application and if so if the driver is standard. There's a webpage for that sutuff, info on how and another web page - which cams are supported and for what. | 23:03 |
| AranelMobil | btw running the given command also prints tons of ata5 errors instead of anything useful. | 23:03 |
| poil | when you say panel, is it like control pane as in windows ? In System->preference or something ? | 23:03 |
| TRIPELbier | poil personally I can do skype with my webcam but only if I start skype from the terminal. so there's no "general" answer that someone can tell you in here. | 23:03 |
| poil | well, ubuntu wikia says its supported | 23:04 |
| poil | for my netbook model | 23:04 |
| TRIPELbier | poil, panel are those skinny lines at the top and bottom of the screen that tell you information. It's like taskbar but better, much better | 23:04 |
| poil | oic | 23:04 |
| poil | i dont see a micro icon | 23:04 |
| smax | can someone be so kind and do a gcc --version? I need to make sure I'm getting support for standard threads with the new C++ standard | 23:04 |
| poil | only the sound one | 23:05 |
| TRIPELbier | poil you do need to do some learning outside of here. Now what's a "micro icon"? | 23:05 |
| poil | err nvm | 23:05 |
| poil | lmao | 23:05 |
| poil | so you said speak icon - checked, and didnt find | 23:05 |
| poil | :/ | 23:06 |
| TRIPELbier | also poil, really you need to use my nick every time you write and want me to see it. That highlights it in my client so I see it. | 23:06 |
| smax | what version of gcc does narwall come with? | 23:06 |
| Jordan_U | smax: Ubuntu uses grub2, so it doesn't use menu.lst at all (rather /boot/grub/grub.cfg ). In addition, you probably don't want to share /boot/ partitions with Ubuntu and Gentoo anyway, and Ubuntu won't touch Gentoo's /boot/ at all. That said, Ubuntu's grub will by default take control of the mbr meaning that Gentoo's menu.lst will not be used at all unless you configure Ubuntu's grub to use it. | 23:06 |
| poil | yeah i always forgot :D TRIPELbier | 23:06 |
| smax | asuming narwall is the latest. | 23:06 |
| TRIPELbier | poil if you dont do that I will assume you are talking to someone else and wont pay attention to the line. | 23:06 |

| poil | tripelb ? | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | smax: With almost any distribution other than Gentoo I would tell you that Ubuntu's grub2 will automatically detect and add an entry for it. Because with Gentoo your kernel could be named any way you choose it may not be automatically detected by grub2. If it isn't though you can of course add it manually. | 23:14 |

| mnewton | I want something that breaks up the file and downloads in parts [like torrents] - essentially it should make downloading much faster | 23:25 |
| mnewton | make download faster and make it so i can pause and start a download even if i close the webbrowser | 23:25 |

| exutux | astraljava: I don't find it in the repos | 23:27 |

| ukuku_ | Hi. I am trying to install ntop in ubuntu 10.04. I am following some instructions from a german guy, I had to translate to english and there's a part that I don't understand. Mostly because the lack of linux experience. | 23:27 |
| exutux | astraljava: oh well maybe it comes with jockey-common | 23:27 |
| iceroot | Enissay: start chrome, get the pid, use sleep and then kill the pid | 23:28 |
| iceroot | ukuku_: sudo apt-get install htop | 23:28 |

| cubanjinx | hey I'm looking for someone who can help me with audio issues. | 23:29 |
| Jordan_U | mnewton: Separating the download into multiple parts would only increase speed if 1: You were downloading different parts from different servers or 2: You were giving yoursef an unfair advantage by acting as multiple clients to a single server. | 23:29 |
| ukuku_ | Yes, I download it from repo then svn to get the latest stable one. I did make, make install and all that jazz. This step here is what I dont get "These steps were all successful, he can proceed with the further establishment. Dazu wird zunächst ein Nutzer und eine Gruppe ntop angelegt und die Rechte entsprechend gesetzt.

| iceroot | ukuku_: why not using the one from the repos? what is missing? | 23:30 |
| Enissay | alexfpms_, iceroot thanks :) | 23:30 |
| ukuku_ | oops. I sent the german instructions | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | mnewton: For download continuation look into wget or pretty much any other download manager and for downloading Ubuntu isos and other applicable files zsync can be very helpful in making sure you're not wasting bandwidth downloading redundant data. | 23:30 |

| cubanjinx | no one for some help with audio? | 23:31 |
| alexfpms_ | Enissay, you'r welcome | 23:31 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: just ask your real question to the channel | 23:31 |
| cubanjinx | how can I make my headphones work with 11.04? | 23:32 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: usb headphones? | 23:32 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot-jack | 23:32 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: normal sound through speakers is working? | 23:32 |
| cubanjinx | ice-yes | 23:32 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: there is no difference between a speaker and a headphone | 23:33 |
| plut0 | KM0201: some driver called wl | 23:33 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: just plugin the headphone | 23:33 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- no sound comes through the headphones | 23:33 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: then they are broken | 23:33 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- when i run alsamixer I dont have a jack setting | 23:33 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- i have tried 2 pairs of headphones and confirmed they are working | 23:34 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: put the headphones in the same input the speaker was in before | 23:34 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- I'm on a laptop | 23:34 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: as you see its always a good idea to post usefull details instead of "is not working" .) | 23:35 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- sorry i'm new to ubuntu and irc | 23:35 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: alsamixer is not muted for some output-devices? | 23:35 |
| plut0 | having trouble with an inspiron n5010 with ubuntu 10.10, broadcom bcm4313 wireless is incredible slow, ping times in the hundreds to thousands, can anyone help? | 23:36 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- no. all outputs are on | 23:36 |
| aleb89 | I need help to use "Remote Desktops" | 23:36 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: what kind of help? | 23:37 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: are other devices working on the output? | 23:37 |
| FloodBot1 | !netsplit | 23:37 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:37 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- other devices such as what? | 23:37 |
| KindOne | !netsplit | 23:38 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:38 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: external speakers | 23:39 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: I am trying to use "Remote Desktops" but when I tried to configure it, it only displays: "Others can access your PC using the direction: localhost" | 23:39 |
| SuperMiguel | how do i install nvidia drivers from terminal? | 23:39 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- I dont have any external speakers. I only have my internal system speakers which are working fine | 23:39 |
| qweeak | Hi | 23:40 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: the soundmixer-applet (not alsamixer) is also not muted for it? | 23:40 |
| YankDownUnder | SuperMiguel, From a term, or from the console mate? | 23:40 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: did you forward a port on your router, to your machine? | 23:40 |
| SuperMiguel | YankDownUnder, console | 23:41 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- where can i find soundmixer | 23:41 |
| YankDownUnder | SuperMiguel, Here mate: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:41 |
| plut0 | having trouble with an inspiron n5010 with ubuntu 10.10, broadcom bcm4313 wireless is incredible slow, ping times in the hundreds to thousands, can anyone help? | 23:42 |
| joeseph | What VNC or RDP server starts before I log in? I'm trying to remote desktop without a monitor, and thus, without physically logging in first. | 23:42 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: its a little speaker icon at the top-right corner | 23:42 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: The router assigns a IP automatically from the DHCP. | 23:42 |
| YankDownUnder | plut0, Set the MTU to 1500 and see if that helps mate. | 23:42 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- sorry i thought that was just sound prefs. and no theres nothing muted in there. there is actually no headphone hardware that is listed | 23:42 |
| plut0 | YankDownUnder: its already at 1500 | 23:42 |
| === Robert is now known as 18WAAZAJ0 | ||
| KM0201 | aleb89: of course it does, but you have to forward port (5900 i think) to your machine, in order to enable access | 23:43 |
| YankDownUnder | plut0, Ya might then want to try using "iwconfig" to force some settings onto the wireless card - see what that does mate | 23:43 |
| robin0800 | cubanjinx, try alsamixer in a terminal | 23:44 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- the only thing that shows up is s/pdif | 23:44 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: if i remeber correctly there are some soundcards which are using digital out OR analog output on the same device, its just a setting to set | 23:45 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: I don`t know where I should assign that port. I can enter in the router setup, but can`t find where I have to put the 5900 port. | 23:45 |
| exutux | joeseph: you need set automatic login for use remote desktop | 23:45 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: probably in the port forwarding/triggering section... what kind of router do you have? | 23:46 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: I am not interested in using "Remote Desktops" above the Internet. Only by the LAN | 23:46 |
| joeseph | exutux: I had tried that. It still asks me to unlock my keyring before I can use the VNC client. | 23:46 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: oh, well, opening/forwarding the port, will enable it over the internet | 23:46 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: It is a NEXXT router | 23:46 |
| Sam98961 | Anyone have a few minutes to tell me the best way to configure my "abstract" networkign environment? | 23:47 |
| cubanjinx | iceroot- yes. in the hardware tab i have internal audio analog output and internal audio digital hdmi output | 23:47 |
| cubanjinx | robin0800- the only thing that shows up in alsamixer is s/pdif | 23:47 |
| SuperMiguel | whats the best way to have dual screens in fluxbox? is it twinview? dualx? xinerama? | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: details please | 23:48 |
| celthunder | Sam98961 what do you have to work with | 23:48 |
| tucemiux | !anyone | Sam98961 | 23:48 |
| ubottu | Sam98961: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 23:48 |
| exutux | joeseph: UHM yes I know :-/ I delete all keyrings, but I don't remember now and I don't have gnome now | 23:48 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: Some months ago, I could used the remote desktops in older Ubuntu`s versions. I haven`t done changes in the router setup. I only need to use it by the local network | 23:49 |
| robin0800 | cubanjinx, have you selected the right sound card first | 23:49 |
| Sam98961 | iceroot: I have 20 servers on a network switch. All running ubuntu. I want whatever network traffic that 19 of those servers create to go over a secure encrypted port from server 19 which has a connection to the internet. But there's more. | 23:49 |
| Sam98961 | Server 19 has to be able to forward that traffic to another SSH server over an encrypted port. 443 is all I have to work with. | 23:49 |
| ukuku_ | can someone double check this for me before I do something really stupid? $ sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --group --disabled-login ntop $ sudo chown -R ntop:ntop /usr/local/share/ntop $ sudo chown -R ntop:ntop /usr/local/var/ntop/ $ Sudo adduser -system-no-create -home -group -disabled-login ntop $ sudo chown -R ntop:ntop /usr/local/share/ntop $ sudo chown -R ntop:ntop /usr/local/var/ntop/ | 23:50 |
| Sam98961 | server 20 has a connection to the internet but it requiers a proxy to get otu. | 23:50 |
| cubanjinx | robin0800- i have it set on default. the other choices are hd-audio generic and hdaatisb | 23:50 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: then just see if you can access your system from one of the other machines? (or have you tried) | 23:50 |
| celthunder | Sam98961: ok | 23:50 |
| Sam98961 | Sorry, this might make more sence. Server 20 has internet connection via proxy. It has one NIC port plugged in to the switch with the other 19 servers and one nic port plugged in to the network. | 23:50 |
| celthunder | Sam98961: should be easy enough... | 23:51 |
| iceroot | server19: ssh server20 -L 443:server20:443 | 23:51 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: server19: ssh server20 -L 443:server20:443 | 23:51 |
| Sam98961 | and do I just configure server 20 as a gateway for the other 19 servers on the switch? | 23:51 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: server20: ssh localhost -L 443:localhost:proxy-port | 23:51 |
| Sam98961 | The proxy that server 20 is using to get on the net requires authentication. | 23:52 |
| jimubao | hey guys i just git checkout an repo on to my comp | 23:52 |
| Sam98961 | How do I provide the crednetials? | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: what type? ntlm? basic_auth? ip-based? | 23:53 |
| jimubao | however i cant not c da folder through my localhost | 23:53 |
| Sam98961 | basic auth. I just put my username and pass. | 23:53 |
| rOOb | hello all. I just booted 11.04 livecd....there is no unity from the livecd? | 23:53 |
| rOOb | !unity | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to GNOME; see !classic. | 23:53 |
| rOOb | !livecd | 23:53 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 23:53 |
| tucemiux | Sam98961: dont use enter for punctuation and yet still, most likely you want to ask in #ubuntu-server(from the few lines that I read here and there) | 23:53 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: with my two ssh commands you just set server19:443 as proxy for all other systems, server19 is passing everythring through a secure ssh connection to server 20 on the proxy-port | 23:54 |
| rOOb | !classic | 23:54 |
| Sam98961 | Thansk Tucemiux. | 23:54 |
| 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". | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | rOOb: You most likely have an nvidia card and need to install proprietary drivers before you can use Unity3D. | 23:54 |
| jimubao | hey guys i just did a git checkout of one of a repo onto my comp, however i cant not see the files on my localhost through browser | 23:54 |
| rOOb | Jordan_U: ah. i do have nvidia. | 23:54 |
| rOOb | just was curious | 23:54 |
| rOOb | Jordan_U: thanks :) | 23:54 |
| jimubao | is there somethign i need to set up for git ? | 23:54 |
| clakes | meh.. 11.10 alpha miserably fails loading thanks to nvidia | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | !msgthebot | rOOb | 23:54 |
| ubottu | rOOb: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 23:54 |
| aikInsaan | any help on this would be much appreciated: http://askubuntu.com/questions/53667/fixing-display-issues-on-intel-82845gl | 23:54 |
| Sam98961 | What do you mean by "don't use enter for punctionation."? | 23:55 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: its just a ssh-tunnel ssh -L is providing | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | rOOb: You're welcome. | 23:55 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: I have already tried. I remember that I had to put the IP in the Remote Desktop Viewer | 23:55 |
| Sam98961 | Thanks, I just have to make sure this works before I go back to work tomorrow. :) | 23:55 |
| iceroot | clakes: #ubuntu+1 | 23:55 |
| aikInsaan | i am calling it a night for now...so good night folks! | 23:55 |
| tucemiux | Sam98961: you need to state your problem all in one line, it can be very diffult to follow you if you post more than one line | 23:55 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: well, do you know the ip of your machine?... use ifconfig to get it. | 23:55 |
| aikInsaan | and sweet natty dreams to all | 23:55 |
| clakes | hm, thanks iceroot | 23:55 |
| cubanjinx | robin0800, iceroot- anything other suggestions? | 23:55 |
| Sam98961 | Sorry, it was kinda complicated for me to get all out from within my head. :) | 23:55 |
| iceroot | cubanjinx: sorry dont know | 23:56 |
| KM0201 | aleb89: it really shouldn't matter what that app says, if you've got remote desktop working, .. | 23:56 |
| KM0201 | it should connect | 23:56 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: just have a look at "man ssh" about the -L option | 23:56 |
| Sam98961 | I have tunneling working via putty, just wanted to make sure that the first 19 servers would talk out the first server if the first server is already tunneling to another server. | 23:56 |
| tucemiux | Sam98961: if it's that complicated then most likely your ubuntu distro is not **broken**, sounds like you want to use the forums but try either way on this channel and on the server channel at random times, maybe someone can help you | 23:56 |
| aleb89 | KM0201: (Sorry for my bad English. I know that the verb tenses are not right used). I know the IP of my machine, but it don't works. | 23:56 |
| Sam98961 | tucemiux: Sorry, trying to google my question is like 500 different searches put in one. :) | 23:57 |
| iceroot | Sam98961: the tunnel is transparent for the other systems, you can put as many tunnels as you want | 23:57 |
| Sam98961 | Awesome. | 23:57 |
| Sam98961 | Thanks everyone for the info. | 23:58 |
| ukuku_ | Hi, can someone tell me if this command needs editing? $ Sudo adduser -system-no-create -home -group -disabled-login ntop | 23:58 |
| iceroot | ukuku_: first its called sudo instead of Sudo | 23:58 |
| iceroot | ukuku_: second use ntop from the repos instead of building it from source | 23:59 |
| ukuku_ | thank you | 23:59 |
