| [THC]AcidRain | superoneclick doesnt support droid x2 | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | [THC]AcidRain: check it again. i used it on older versions. | 00:00 |
| dr_willis | they may have an older version archived | 00:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | well im actually running a flavor of droid x on a droid x2 device, | 00:00 |

| [THC]AcidRain | oh snap. z4root is working... | 00:01 |
| sneakyimp | terry: thx for rule. as for said expert, he's very busy (and in wildly different time zone). i'm under a painful deadline. | 00:01 |
| [THC]AcidRain | or at least it appears. | 00:01 |

| terry | sneakyimp: If it were me, I'd let sshd's config handle what IPs it listens for. | 00:03 |
| [THC]AcidRain | , | 00:03 |
| dr_willis | does sshd support hosts.allow and hosts.deny? or is that so old.. its totally outdated :) | 00:04 |
| Toyame | hello | 00:04 |
| sneakyimp | terry: might it happen that one could exploit sshd in that case? also, is it not more efficient for your machine to have iptables drop the packet before handing it to higher levels of software? | 00:04 |
| Toyame | hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo | 00:05 |
| === ckeen_ is now known as goodpie | ||
| Loshki | sneakyimp: I agree with terry. Using sshd on a non-standard port, and allowing ssh logins via key only is a better way to go... | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, ssh would need to be called from xinetd to work - it's probably a stand alone server - so short answer is NO | 00:07 |
| dr_willis | zykotick9: just rembering the old-skool days :) | 00:09 |
| TheCyph3r | I've got a question about coming up with a terminal command | 00:09 |
| dr_willis | zykotick9: back when you often had to recompile the kernel to get a cd burner working.. | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, ahh, brings me back to a simpler... err more difficult, time ;) | 00:10 |
| TheCyph3r | If I have a folder with, say, 100 files (specifically pictures), and they all have typical names cameras give (xxx-###, etc)...how can I rename all of them sequentially | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, i always hated xinitd BTW, but that hosts allow would be pretty handy. | 00:11 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: theck out the renameutils command line tools perhaps. :) is one way | 00:11 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: ive cheated and used wine to run 'bulk rename utilty' also on linux (and i use it all the time on windows) | 00:11 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: is that a download? | 00:11 |
| sneakyimp | Does anyone here have a good plan for excluding the vast majority of remote IPs for SSH access while permitting some reasonable subnet -- WITHOUT locking oneself out of the machine. For example, what happens when your ISP gets bought by Comcast? Or your ISP switches to IP v6? | 00:12 |
| dr_willis | !info renameutils | 00:12 |
| ubottu | renameutils (source: renameutils): Programs to make file renaming easier. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.0-5 (natty), package size 78 kB, installed size 272 kB | 00:12 |
| sneakyimp | Loshki: thanks for your input. | 00:12 |
| uni4dfx | Has anyone been able to connect their Windows Mobile 6.5 device to Ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| dr_willis | i use 'qmv' in the renameutils package all the time | 00:12 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: okay so I have the package, I imagine that it's a command line program that I use through the terminal? | 00:14 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: for example qmv. puts all the filenames in a list in a text editor you set.. edit them how you want, save,exit.. it renames them all.. i do a thing similer to..... | 00:15 |
| dr_willis | qmv -f do -e geany | 00:15 |
| dr_willis | qmv -f do -e geany * | 00:15 |
| === jay is now known as Guest30664 | ||
| dr_willis | -f do = just show the name to rename to... not both befor/after, -e = use the editor... | 00:16 |
| dr_willis | then you can do whatever edits you want.. but in your simple case. you may want to track down a more focused tool | 00:16 |
| TheCyph3r | Right, well my thinking was this | 00:16 |
| joki | Anyone here have experience with conky? | 00:17 |
| TheCyph3r | There may be 200-300 pictures with names preassigned by camera...the pictures are of book pages, and i'd like to rename them by page # | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | im so used to useng 'bulk rename utilty' on windows.. i always install it via wine.. it can add 001 to 999 to the front of a bunch of files in just a few clicks | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | joki: lots of conky docs and examples out there.. and the conky homepage... | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | joki: state the issue and see who can help. | 00:17 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: so is the page# part of the existing filename? | 00:18 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: or are they in order? | 00:18 |
| Loshki | sneakyimp: that's why I think ssh/non-standard port/keyed entry only is the way to go. You can set up and run/test the server using your existing ssh connection, and then enable it when you're sure it works. And it | 00:18 |
| wookienz | ubuntu legends. after ,my latest kernel updated pushed out by ubuntu my machine no longer boots to desktop. I get "operaitng in low graphics mode" with no way to fix it. | 00:18 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: They ARE in order, but the existing filename is some randomly assigned name on each...ex: SHF-104, SHF-105, SHF-106, etc. | 00:19 |
| Loshki | sneakyimp: isn't sensitive to the particular ip addresses in use by client or server... | 00:19 |
| dr_willis | so you want to change all 'SHF' to "Our_Florida_Pics_" or similer? | 00:19 |
| TheCyph3r | just like "Pg 201" "Pg 202" "Pg 203" etc. ad nauseum | 00:20 |
| dr_willis | SO you want to change 'SHF-' to be 'Pg ' | 00:20 |
| dr_willis | but keep the #'s the same. | 00:20 |
| TheCyph3r | yes, and the numbers in the filename need to be changed as well | 00:20 |
| dr_willis | heh.. changed how. :) that frst part would be easy to do via qmv, | 00:21 |
| TheCyph3r | Nope, the numbers too....It takes FAR too long doing it by hand | 00:21 |
| dr_willis | you want it to start at 001 and end at whatever? or what exactly | 00:21 |
| TheCyph3r | let me see | 00:21 |
| dr_willis | Geany has 'vertical block' cut/paste features that would make that rather easy also. :) if i can rember how to make bash print 001 to 999.... | 00:22 |

| sam555 | hello all! | 00:23 |
| sam555 | what software program does anyone recommend for checking the hard drive on my Ubuntu computer? | 00:23 |
| TBotNik | All, Looks like the HOWTO that atomicben put out there would work, if I had the "Auto eth0" they are talking about, which I had before the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 | 00:23 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: Oh wow, brain fart....I'm using my laptop now, but was inserting the SD card into my PC and wondering why the hell the card wouldnt mount! | 00:23 |
| sam555 | Does anyone know whether this is any good http://www.howtoforge.com/checking-hard-disk-sanity-with-smartmontools-debian-ubuntu | 00:23 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: :) or ssh'd to some fileserver.. and wondering why its not got the stuff instgalled.. heh... | 00:24 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: im a newbie... "ssh"? | 00:24 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: you have a machine of four on a net, you want it to serve up dhcp to the rest, yes? | 00:24 |
| dr_willis | !ssh | TheCyph3r | 00:24 |
| ubottu | TheCyph3r: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 00:24 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: somthing you will want learn about. if you have more then 1 ubuntu box. | 00:25 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: Yup! | 00:25 |
| sneakyimp | loshki: the machine is already alive on the internet. the issue now is locking it down. it's a compute instance at amazon EC2 so I can't ever go plug-in a keyboard to fix the problem. non-standard port is possible but a port scan would yield the open port quite easily. | 00:25 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: the simple setup would be dnsmasq | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | !info dnsmasq | 00:25 |

| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: I see....Well im quite aware that i know a percentage of a percentage about Ubuntu, or even linux for that matter >.< | 00:26 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: But why do I not have the "Auto eth0"? | 00:26 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: i can 'ssh' from my android phone to my Ubuntu box.. and irc/update/upgrade/transfer files... make it play 'Mooooo.wav' to annoy the wife.... | 00:26 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: auto eth0? because you didn't set it to auto? | 00:26 |
| joki | I need help setting up conky with a lua script anyone willing to help? | 00:26 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: Ohh, so it's like remote access? | 00:27 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: Do I need to send my dhcp config to pb, for you to look at? | 00:27 |
| Foxx | Would any of you know why my wireless would say "device not managed"? I already changed etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf file to Managed=True | 00:27 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: thats one blade of the SSH swiss army-kife-tool.. :) | 00:27 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: no, don't want to look at it, you want to serve up dhcp, ok, I suggest 'dnsmasq' | 00:27 |
| cheako | Hello, I'm trying to build an app with g++ that includes <string> and ends up with this error: " error: '::fwide' has not been declared" and a tone of others. | 00:28 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: Not sure, was working on dhcpd, but my machine has dhcp3-server instead and think maybe something got screwed in the config file | 00:28 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: K looking at that right now. | 00:28 |
| cheako | What includes must preq these? | 00:28 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 00:28 |

| almoxarife | TBotNik: maybe, first you need to decide what to use, then you can figure out the bugs | 00:28 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: And the first filename I want to change to "Pg 279" and ascend to "Pg 406" | 00:29 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: While I'm in "Synaptic" should I uninstall the DHCPD or DHCP3? | 00:30 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: I am guessing there is a reason why the router can't serve dhcp | 00:30 |
| skutr34 | Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen..... | 00:31 |

| almoxarife | TBotNik: yeap, you need it | 00:31 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: Got my laptop connected to hub, so will know when it is live. | 00:32 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: the config file is pretty straight forward, dnsmasq will offer up dhcp, you decide what the net ip range is, the other machines need to look at the machine with dnsmasq for dhcp | 00:33 |
| skutr34 | Hey, I did a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 and tried to boot and it got stuck on a purple screen. Can anyone help with this please? | 00:33 |
| Loshki | sneakyimp: In practice, port scanning tcp sockets is quite time consuming as the space is so big. I've found that running ssh on a non-standard port has pretty much stopped all ssh probe attempts. And allowing keyed-access-only pretty much prevents any password guessing. You'll probably want it even if you use the other stuff. See Tips for Securing Your EC2 Instance http://aws.amazon.com/articles/1233, in particular the "Ditch Those Passwords: Use ss | 00:34 |

| dr_willis | i just cant rember which. :) | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | 1000 may be the user uid. :) | 00:41 |

| zykotick9 | genewitch, run "blkid" to find the proper UUID, or switch to Labels | 00:41 |
| dr_willis | actually none of them are.. thats the process for your grep command.. :) | 00:41 |
| zykotick9 | genewitch, using /dev/sda# should be avoided if possible | 00:41 |

| genewitch | zykotick9: the blkid reports the same UUID as the one in grub.cfg | 00:42 |
| dr_willis | try ps ax | grep fire could be the command name is not 'firefox' - i got no X. so cant check | 00:42 |

If I mash on CTRL-ALT-F1 long enough the screen goes blank (I think it actually dropped to a terminal because I can blind login and cat something to a file and it is actually there), then use ALT-F8 to get back to graphical display.

| dr_willis | user234: ive seen usb flash go bad that way.. | 00:51 |
| dr_willis | user234: ive seen brand new ones say a similer error.. even under windows. :) took that one back to the store. | 00:51 |
| user234 | dr_willis: thx | 00:51 |
| Hermiene | I'm getting the blank screen w/cursor thingy when trying to install, and I've tried the "i195.modeset=0" solution, to no avail. Am I missing something...? | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | Store Manager was looking ALL over that usb flash for a write-protect switch.. ive never seen a USB flash with one. | 00:52 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: You looking for HOWTO? | 00:52 |
| dr_willis | night all... | 00:52 |
| q0_0p | how do i install ubuntu kernel | 00:52 |
| ntr0py | dr_willis, night | 00:52 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: dnsmasq is a dhcp server, but you also have another as you mentioned, you need to decide which is the one you want to use, I don't see how both can be used | 00:53 |
| wookienz | when i log into gdm i dont have the classic gnome option, only "user defined session or "recovery console" where has it gone? | 00:53 |
| wookienz | classic gnome tha is. | 00:53 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, What about VGA=771 ? | 00:54 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p what do you mean by that upgrade the kernel? | 00:54 |
| TBotNik | almoxarife: K will uninstall, but have to leave client. Right? | 00:54 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, yes | 00:54 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, for some reason ubuntu is telling me I dont have a kernel when i boot | 00:54 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, I've chrooted into the system and have access to apt-get | 00:54 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p Im more familiar with yum than apt but sudo apt-get upgrade kernel should do it | 00:55 |
| Hermiene | YankDownUnder: I'm on a stationary box. I thought that was just for laptops...? | 00:55 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: the client was already there, yes? | 00:55 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, what should I apt-get in specific | 00:55 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p /usr/bin | 00:55 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, Give it a go regardless....you can also put in: acpi=off noapic | 00:56 |
| almoxarife | TBotNik: so why not use the dhcp-server you installed? | 00:56 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, what about /usr/bin ? | 00:56 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p sorry missread apt-get upgrade kernel | 00:56 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p thought you asked for the path to apt | 00:56 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, what is package called | 00:56 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, if i remember something like linux-image | 00:57 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, or linux headers | 00:57 |
| Hermiene | YankDownUnder: This is my first time installing Linux... Do I leave the double hyphens "--" alone, or do I delete them? | 00:57 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p linux-image will work with sudo apt-get install | 00:58 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, Just a quick question - why are you using the "i195" option in the first place? | 00:58 |
| user234 | is there a place where i can download modules for a particular kernel? | 00:58 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p I use sudo apt-get upgrade kernel just to install headers etc | 00:58 |
| Hermiene | YankDownUnder: I followed this: http://journalxtra.com/2010/07/ubuntu-fixing-the-blank-screen-on-installation-bug/ | 00:59 |
| sker | Q | 00:59 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, Right oh...just checking mate. | 00:59 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, what about this apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic | 00:59 |
| herny | they should combine Software Center and Synaptic into one thingamabob | 00:59 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p yes thats the kernel | 00:59 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, do I need to install headers? | 01:00 |
| andantino | and call it Synaptic Thingamabob? | 01:00 |
| Hermiene | YankDownUnder: Giving it a go... | 01:00 |
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p the headers and other stuff isnt needed unless you want to compile your own kernel | 01:00 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, you can also try adding "xforcevesa" as well... | 01:00 |
| === derp is now known as douche | ||
| L1nuxRules | q0_0p also might be needed to compile from source | 01:00 |
| q0_0p | L1nuxRules, okay makes sense | 01:00 |
| almoxarife | synaptic works for me, its not sexy but it gets it done | 01:01 |

| zykotick9 | This isn't a support question so technically it's OT but, I gotta share it. KVM virtualization can easily boot separate physical partitions - so you can be in Ubuntu, and open a VM of your physical windows on another partition (or another GNU/Linux install). Really cool in my opinion! I discovered it as a warning on Ubuntu's KVM page. | 01:01 |

| dualbootah | No installer data could be found. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. | 01:04 |
| dualbootah | yes its the most popular ame able to be ran in wine with no problems | 01:04 |
| zykotick9 | almoxarife, WOW does run in wine yes | 01:04 |
| L1nuxRules | dualbootah the only use of windows is for gaming so use it forget wine or whatever because your emulating so your hardware is being used for more than is needed although windows will use more base resources | 01:05 |

| genewitch | is installing the ATI drivers from the restricted hardware panel the recommended way of doing it? | 01:06 |
| genewitch | or should i get the drivers from ATI | 01:06 |

| ichbinder_ | hello. I need to install sun-java6-jdk and a few weeks ago that still was found in synaptic and installed, when canonical partners was added as repository. Now I installed same ubuntu 11.04 on a different machine today and it can't find sun-java6-jdk anymore, even though canonical partners etc. is the same...? | 01:07 |
| dualbootah | Note that on some WoW DVD's the installer executable is hidden and you need to re-mount the disc with the 'unhide' option. To do this type in a terminal: sudo umount /dev/cdrom sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/ | 01:07 |
| blade1 | i need help about kdm theme | 01:07 |
| dualbootah | i tried those commands | 01:07 |
| Hermiene | YankDownUnder: The "vga=771" thing didn't work. What was the other thing? (I didn't jot it down.) | 01:07 |
| almoxarife | dualbootah: giving up? that's no fun, get some soda and some pizza, start from scratch | 01:07 |
| zykotick9 | ichbinder, did you "sudo apt-get update" after adding partner? it should be there. | 01:07 |
| StaticShock | is there an appropriate channel for discussing FUSE? | 01:08 |
| Polah | ichbinder_: Double check the partners repo is enabled and make sure you updated your package list | 01:08 |
| YankDownUnder | Hermiene, "xforcevesa" | 01:08 |
| andantino | dualbootah: juice and salad is probably a healthier option though | 01:08 |

| ichbinder_ | Polah: thanks! :) | 01:12 |
| L1nuxRules | km0201 hes probably installed a kde aimed app i.e yakuake | 01:12 |

| kora-chan | hi, i'm using natty on my thinkpad x220 tablet (i7, intel 3000HD). i have a small problem: i can use my external monitor just fine when i use my vga output, but when i connect it to the display port i only get a black screen with a mouse pointer on my notebook and the display itself says no signal. any idea how to troubleshoot? | 01:17 |
| Avalessa | OUt of nowhere I suddenly lost the ability to go on xbox live. I use a wired connection through my ubuntu 11.04 laptop and it worked fine 3 weeks ago (I was idle for 3 weeks) and suddenly my xbox doesn't even connect to my network. I called xbox support and they told me to contact the ubuntu community so here I am. | 01:18 |
| kora-chan | Avalessa: youre using your ubuntu machine to route the xbox to the net? | 01:18 |
| Avalessa | Yes | 01:19 |
| L1nuxRules | jrwr tail -f /var/log/mailog while your sending a mail to the server then pastebin that | 01:19 |
| kora-chan | Avalessa: Do you use a switch to connect the xbox and the pc? if yes, are you running a dhcp server on your ubuntu box? you could start by looking if the xbox got an ip and if yes if you can ping it | 01:20 |
| JRWR | l1nuxman: http://pastebin.com/ALqcw0Xb | 01:20 |
| L1nuxRules | jrwr but really you should be asking in #ubuntu-server | 01:20 |
| L1nuxRules | jrwr will take a look | 01:20 |
| kora-chan | Avalessa: may seem like a straight forward solution,... if the xbox doesnt find any network i'd also try checking the network cables,.. maybe somethings broken there | 01:21 |

| L1nuxRules | jrwr thats your inbox what are you using to retrieve the mail? | 01:29 |

| almoxarife | Avalessa: you have a wireless connection to the router? | 01:31 |
| Avalessa | My laptop does, yes | 01:31 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, all that did was open additional drivers ive tried that and i marked the bcmwl-kernel-source for reisntalation like the website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx told me to and nothing has worked what else do u think i should try ? | 01:31 |

| Zaehlas | I have a question, running ubuntu 10.04, server, LTS, fresh install. WHY would my udev do THIS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/649600/ | 01:32 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel__, Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment out the bcm43xx driver, reboot. | 01:32 |
| pappa_bear | Polah, first number = User ID | 01:32 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, how do i do that | 01:33 |
| Polah | pappa_bear: Not for my method. ps as shows UID and then PID. ps -a like I said shows PID and then TTY. No UID | 01:33 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel__, Um, sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf => comment in front of bcm43xx, save the file, restart the machine | 01:34 |
| L1nuxRules | Zaehlas maybe something to do with the build system | 01:35 |
| Zaehlas | well, this is crazy, was same build I used before, needed new hard drives, so fresh installed, but it looks luike every time it's booting, it swaps my two network interfaces.. which causes some serious problems, as you can guess. | 01:36 |
| L1nuxRules | Zaehlas they have probablly changed something with the PXE deployment | 01:36 |
| Zaehlas | meh. any idea on how to UNDO whatever they changed. this is crazy. who has udev specifically rename network interfaces on a whim? | 01:37 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, sry im a realy big noob here what do u mean comment in front of bcm43xx | 01:37 |
| L1nuxRules | Zaehlas not familiar with udev or whim | 01:38 |
| Zaehlas | YankDownUnder Comment is like the number sign, usually, hold down shift, hit 3, that symbol means "comment the whole line" | 01:38 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel__, Put a "#" in front of it like all the other comments in the file. | 01:38 |
| Zaehlas | *sigh* Maybe I'll reboot another dozen tinmes, and try to figure out what's it doing. | 01:39 |
| Zaehlas | Thanks anyway | 01:39 |

| yellowgto | Anyone have any idea how to unmute mic (So you can hear it) on Ubuntu 11.04? | 01:44 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, ok should i earase the blacklist before it and also how do i save it | 01:44 |
| histo | yellowgto: in the sound preferences | 01:44 |
| yellowgto | I've unmuted that already | 01:45 |
| yellowgto | Under the input tab | 01:45 |
| yellowgto | Doesn't work | 01:45 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel__, Mate, I never said to erase the blacklist - only to comment out the bcm43xx module and save the file and reboot the machine. | 01:45 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, ok i didnt jsut making sure but how do i save the file | 01:46 |
| Obeyance | Ok, i have Ubuntu 9.10 LIVECD. The last grub version i had after upgrading and patching fully to 11.04 i had Grub 1.99. What is the safest method of getting back to that? Would doing the liveCD route be safe? | 01:46 |
| histo | yellowgto: you want to here playback from the mic? | 01:46 |
| yellowgto | Yes | 01:46 |

| yellowgto | Just left or right slider | 01:47 |
| histo | yellowgto: you should have an output volume for the mic on the playback tab | 01:47 |
| histo | yellowgto: if not you can use alsamixer in a terminal and | 01:47 |
| yellowgto | Playback tab in Sound prefs? | 01:47 |
| histo | yellowgto: idk i'm not in ubuntu atm but I know it's there | 01:48 |
| yellowgto | I have an output tab | 01:48 |
| yellowgto | histo I thought ubuntu uses pulse audio | 01:48 |
| yellowgto | Not alsamixer? | 01:48 |
| yellowgto | I might be wrong | 01:48 |
| histo | yellowgto: alsamixer is a volume control | 01:48 |
| yellowgto | because I have Alsa Mixer | 01:49 |
| histo | yellowgto: unless something changed recently you should be able to adjust volumes with it | 01:49 |
| yellowgto | It must be the headset | 01:50 |

| ocmsRzr | does anyone know how to play mic input through the speakers in 11.04 | 01:59 |
| YankDownUnder | daniel__, Close all that crap up, and open up the Package Manager, search on "backports" => install the backports, reboot, see what goes on after that. | 01:59 |

| comfortsuites | don't you need a patch cable to do a NIC2NIC connection? | 02:00 |
| TheCyph3r | If I have two Ubuntu boxes on the same wireless network, can I transfer data b/w them w/o using an external HDD or the like? | 02:00 |
| lenovo | lenovo ideapad y430 | 02:01 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, sure, use ssh should be handy, unless the network blocks it | 02:01 |
| YankDownUnder | comfortsuites, IN most instances, the onboard NIC's are automatically configured - so they'll know if it's a crossover connection or not - and fix it automagically...however, it's always nice to have a crossover cable handy. | 02:01 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: And how do I do that? I'm VERY slowly learning the whole Linux/Ubuntu thing | 02:02 |
| comfortsuites | so it is possible to have a IP assigned to a NIC on the other end of a standard ethernet cable in ubuntu? | 02:02 |
| dli | comfortsuites, auto-crossover is included in all Gigabit NIC, so, unless you have two computers both with 100Mbps NICs | 02:03 |
| bryhoyt | Hi, I have made a few custom mods to my ubuntu system and suddenly dhclient (dhcp utility, I presume) no longer works. It first complains "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6" and on further inspection with strace, it turns out that it doesn't have the permissions to access the libc.so.6 library (when it tries to open it in the first few lines of strace). However, I am very definitely running it as root. What's my problem? | 02:03 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, on both computers, install sshfs | 02:03 |
| comfortsuites | laptop is wifi, another laptop is wired into the wifi laptop. how do i bridge the connections so laptop 2 can get an IP ? | 02:03 |
| daniel__ | YankDownUnder, ok wicth one there seems to be many different ones linux-backports-modules-net-(then random numbers follows by generic and some are then follow by -pare or they are followed by nattey then generic | 02:04 |
| Obeyance | When i type ( Sudo Grub ) It says Command not found. | 02:04 |
| dli | comfortsuites, if you only do it once, just connect ethernet cable, manually set IPs for both, and enable NAT(ipmasq) on the one with wifi | 02:04 |

| Obeyance | Should i get grub2 or stick with KK grub 1.*? | 02:05 |
| Obeyance | Im new to linux so i dont know the difference. | 02:05 |
| dli | Obeyance, then, choose grub2 | 02:06 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: Is sshfs run through the terminal? I dont see it in the Applications section | 02:06 |
| comfortsuites | dli: the laptop with wifi is being assigned it's own IP from a router via DHCP. i want to get the wired laptop and IP from the router. allow a passthrough | 02:06 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, if you want GUI, gnome file manager (nautilus) can do ssh | 02:06 |
| Disguised | can someone explain the purpose of .xinitrc? does gdm go looking for that file, or does it just look at the file in the xsessions directory | 02:07 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, open nautilus, go to File->Connect to Server, and supply IP of the other computer, and choose ssh protocol | 02:07 |
| dli | Disguised, no, gdm doesn't read .xinitrc | 02:08 |
| dli | Disguised, if you run the command startx, .xinitrc is sourced | 02:08 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: Which computer should be server? The one supplying or receiving? | 02:09 |
| comfortsuites | dli: where do i go to enable NAT? | 02:09 |
| Disguised | well, im using dwm, and i want to customize the status bar, which reads from stdin i believe | 02:09 |
| Disguised | so should i create a script, then call that from my xsesion file instead of dwm directly? | 02:09 |
| === AnGell is now known as f453 | ||
| dli | TheCyph3r, either way would work, since it's a two-way transfer | 02:09 |

| TheCyph3r | dli: okay, so I don't need to supply any passwords or anything? | 02:13 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, you will be asked about passwd, unless you get public keys | 02:14 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: strange...it's saying "Could not display "sftp://xxx.xxx.x.xx/" Acess was denied." | 02:15 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: The x's are in lieu of the ip | 02:15 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, can you ssh to it in terminal? | 02:15 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, also, on the server side (remote), make sure ssh port is up, test it there: ssh localhost | 02:16 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: Don't know how :( I'm a total newbie to this | 02:16 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, if it works, try from the other computer: ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | 02:16 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: "ssh: connect to host localhost port22: Connection refused" | 02:17 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, you need to install the program, sudo apt-get install ssh | 02:18 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: okay, I got sshfs on both from Software Center, didnt know i needed ssh as well :-/ | 02:18 |

| TheCyph3r | monotoko: I tried adding sudo to it, and it returned something strange | 03:09 |

| mouse | to be clear would i be correct in saying that gpartition cannot do FAT16 and therefore i have to partition to a 4mb partition? i'm lost? | 03:16 |
| mouse | it's late | 03:16 |
| Obeyance | so would it be save to just reboot or do i need to wait for those to not be busy and unmount them? | 03:16 |
| Obeyance | Or... something. | 03:16 |
| Logan_ | rww: ? | 03:17 |

| pawtracksrbxl | I keep geting this error when I try to install something from the app store. It keeps saying Sorry, the program "aptd" closed unexpectedly. | 03:20 |
| onez | hi all... | 03:20 |
| Obeyance | I dont understand what you just had me do. | 03:20 |
| Shaba1 | any ideas | 03:20 |
| Shaba1 | ?? | 03:20 |
| Obeyance | i had a huge list echo back but i dont know what it did. | 03:20 |
| onez | what is USB audio interface work in ubuntu? help me please | 03:20 |
| qin | Obeyance: Care to highlight? | 03:20 |
| Obeyance | Its just a bunch of stuff, want me to pastebin? | 03:21 |
| qin | Obeyance: me? | 03:21 |
| Obeyance | Im new to linux so i dont know much about this, i was just wanting to know if i needed to unmount those drives or w/e before i rebooted to see if grub is fixed =\ | 03:21 |
| Obeyance | Yes qin, =). | 03:22 |
| qin | Obeyance: If you unmount you will be 100% sure that things are sasy. But reboot _propably_ will "fix" it anyway. | 03:24 |
| Obeyance | k cause its only /dev and /mnt that wont umount. | 03:24 |
| pawtracksrbxl | I keep geting this error when I try to install something from the app store. It keeps saying Sorry, the program "aptd" closed unexpectedly. | 03:25 |
| qin | Obeyance: What is still in: mount | 03:25 |
| Obeyance | Im gonna try to just reboot then. If it fails i guess i can always try try again. | 03:25 |
| Obeyance | The only thing mounted that i see is the 187GB filesystem which is sda3 | 03:26 |
| qin | pawtracksrbxl: In terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgarde; sudo apt-get install -f | 03:26 |
| Obeyance | it wont unmount, says its busy. | 03:26 |
| Obeyance | So im guessing that is the reason that /dev and /mnt wont unmount. | 03:26 |
| Obeyance | And say theya re busy. | 03:26 |
| pawtracksrbxl | qin: Thanks | 03:26 |
| Obeyance | Might be a LIVECD bug... | 03:26 |
| Justin-home | anybody interested in answering an openvpn config question, running ubuntu server 64 in PM? | 03:27 |
| Obeyance | Im rebooting anyway. If its all fubared then i will just reinstall the whole lot i guess. | 03:28 |
| Obeyance | No data on the drive other then the OS and user settings. | 03:28 |
| qin | Obeyance: Finger croseed | 03:28 |
| Obeyance | Grub is operational... and light purple =\ | 03:29 |
| Obeyance | lol | 03:29 |
| pawtracksrbxl | The new ubuntu interface is hard to use | 03:29 |
| pawtracksrbxl | :/ | 03:29 |
| Obeyance | yeah i didnt like it either. | 03:30 |
| qin | !classic | 03:30 |
| 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". | 03:30 |
| Obeyance | Just use the classic | 03:30 |
| pawtracksrbxl | Thanks | 03:30 |
| Obeyance | K now to install drivers on the windows OS =S | 03:31 |

| tianrific | hey , I just install ubuntu to my laptop , and there are two OS on my computer now -- ubuntu and win7. after I installed ubuntu, my computer's wireless receiver stopped working. does anyone know how to shoot this trouble ? | 03:35 |
| stephenthemartyr | i have ubuntu studio and earlier some kinda graphics x crash happened and now jack had like 100 x-runs in 5 minutes and very high cpu even tho it was fine last night,not sure if this is a good place to ask or not | 03:35 |
| [THC]AcidRain | tianrific: ive AWLAYS had problems out of ubuntu handling my wifi card | 03:36 |
| mystiqueba | tianrific: which version do you have installed? | 03:36 |
| tianrific | I have 10.04 installed | 03:37 |
| iDRINKbLEACH | tianrific I have same problem, i am eager to read any posted soutions | 03:37 |
| dbruns | I'm having trouble using Wine with Ubuntu 11.04.. I've got a Radeon 5870 video card and I'm using the driver that ubuntu recommended. WHen I try to install SC2 (which is supposed to work very well in wine), I see the windows, but no buttons or animations. Could this be a driver issue? Would an Nvidia 9500GT (my other video card) work better with Ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| tianrific | the wierd thing is when I have only win7, wifi works fine | 03:38 |
| dbruns | How is the video Driver in Ubuntu 11.04 configured? I'd like to try the one I downloaded from ATI's site | 03:38 |
| tianrific | but after I have ubuntu. wifi does not work on either os | 03:38 |
| computer_ | hi! I'm using 11.04. In the last month i keep being ask to enter a password before i am connected to the local network at home even though the laptop is set to automatically login on start-up anyone know why his started and how to fix? | 03:38 |
| mystiqueba | I am no expert but I had the same problem and it almost drove me nuts | 03:38 |
| nit-wit | stephenthemartyr, I would think you're okay here there is also a #ubuntustudio channel | 03:39 |
| dbruns | tianrific, are you certain you didn't bump the switch on the side of your laptop to turn wireless on/off? | 03:39 |
| iDRINKbLEACH | tianrific same here I have winxp and ubuntu 11,04 | 03:39 |
| mystiqueba | what I did was to upgrade to 11.04 and then it worked | 03:39 |
| tianrific | I am sure I have the switch on | 03:39 |
| stephenthemartyr | what do you mean ok? | 03:39 |
| TheCyph3r | is there any way to verify my freenode pw BEFORE getting in here? :P | 03:39 |
| TooTall | this is a popular chat room | 03:39 |

| qin | tianrific: rfkill list | 03:39 |
| TheCyph3r | dbruns: XChat | 03:40 |
| tianrific | seems like the problem I have here is a very common one | 03:40 |
| nit-wit | stephenthemartyr, I'm not a admin I assume that your problem is appropriate for this channel | 03:40 |

| tianrific | mystiqueba: what kind of update do I have to do ? | 03:44 |
| csdserver | tianrific - did you have to tell your router to clone an address in order to communicate with your modem? you might have to do the same via your edit | 03:44 |
| dbruns | what is the firefox addon that lets me trick sites like adobe.com to think I'm on windows so they let me download windows software | 03:44 |

| dbruns | tianrific, what model/brand laptop is it | 03:48 |
| tianrific | qin: I didn't try those commands . I don't have those commands on win7 | 03:48 |
| qin | tianrific: /join ##windows | 03:48 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: I've got an SSH question for you now | 03:48 |
| csdserver | It might be something conflicting in your MBR that causes it to not initialize your device too. | 03:48 |
| tianrific | dbruns: it is lenovo | 03:48 |
| dbruns | tianrific, what model | 03:48 |
| csdserver | or switches something on when it should stay off... | 03:49 |
| dbruns | tianrific, have you tried plugging it in so you can get an internet connection and download the proper drivers?? | 03:50 |
| tianrific | dbruns: it is zhaoyang E43L | 03:50 |
| dbruns | tianrific, yeah the wireless drivers won't be included for that one.. so you'll need to connect via ethernet to get them | 03:50 |
| tianrific | dbruns, but did wifi card stop working on win7 too ? | 03:51 |
| TheCyph3r | I've got an SSH question when someone has a chance | 03:51 |
| stephenthemartyr | is there another channel where i might be able to get help? | 03:51 |
| qin | !ask > TheCyph3r | 03:51 |
| ubottu | TheCyph3r, please see my private message | 03:51 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, yes, always ask the channel, and do not ask to ask | 03:52 |
| csdserver | tianrific - which OS are you letting manage your boot, grub or win? | 03:52 |
| TheCyph3r | I removed SSH to shut it off, then found a script that can shut it off w/o removal. Reinstalled, now I can't run "ssh localhost" | 03:53 |
| tianrific | csdserver, I used grub | 03:53 |
| dli | TheCyph3r, sudo service ssh start | 03:53 |
| dbruns | tianrific, you may have to play around in your BIOS settings and see if there is some sort of toggle switch for it | 03:54 |
| qin | TheCyph3r: Have you not remove it? You mean "uninstall"? | 03:54 |
| chome | is there a channel to discuss lmms? | 03:54 |
| TheCyph3r | dli: Thanks! That did the job | 03:54 |
| tianrific | dbruns, toggle switch for my boot setting ? | 03:55 |
| TheCyph3r | qin: I did an uninstall with sudo apt-get remove ssh | 03:55 |
| qin | TheCyph3r: No biggie. | 03:56 |
| csdserver | tianrific - i'm going to suggest hooking up to a hard link to get updates/drivers etc if you haven't already. if you have done that then inspect your bootlog and see if it's failing on detection or if it's even logged at all. | 03:56 |
| TheCyph3r | qin: I've been trying to get that fixed for a half hour now >.< | 03:57 |
| chome | is there a channel to discuss lmms? | 03:57 |

| chome | im getting good, need some tips | 03:57 |

| tianrific | csdserver, I let ubuntu managed my partition | 03:58 |
| stephenthemartyr | anyone familiar with a graphics x crash? | 03:58 |
| tianrific | csdserver, is that bad ? | 03:58 |

| luckysmack | my main desktop is ubuntu natty. which will be the main workstation. Another ubuntu desktop in my living room, and a windows laptop. what would be the best way to setup filesharing between the 3 over the network? i have 2 x 2TB external drives on my main workstation i would like to be able to share with my livingroom computer to play movies off the drive. similarly with the laptop | 04:08 |
| naptastic | I've googled and it seems to have to do with a change in kpkg, config-auto-append, --append-to-version, and the kernel config option for appending version information. | 04:08 |
| nit-wit | stephenthemartyr, no problem. | 04:08 |

| TheCyph3r | nit-wit: I was going to post that! | 04:23 |
| IsmAvatar | louzer: does it have an actual card, or is it just a chipset that came with the mobo | 04:23 |
| nit-wit | louzer, boot the cd ho;d down the shift at the gui if you get one hit f6 then nomodeset then bot | 04:24 |
| louzer | hi all, i have an actual card GeForce GT 330 | 04:24 |
| louzer | nit-wit: what does that do | 04:24 |
| nit-wit | louzer, it is a lowgraphics mode | 04:24 |
| louzer | nit-wit: thanks | 04:25 |
| louzer | blade: thanks for asking | 04:25 |
| louzer | IsmAvatar: thanks for asking | 04:25 |
| blade | np | 04:25 |
| nit-wit | louzer, you will need the nomodeset command on the reboot from the install but in the kernel line, to get you in to install your driver for the card | 04:25 |
| IsmAvatar | Looking for a little help with Flash applications. They tend to show black regions, like the refreshing is all wrong or something. I was wondering if this was a known bug with Adobe flash, and if there was a viable workaround? | 04:26 |
| louzer | nit-wit: hmm ok | 04:26 |
| blade | firefox? | 04:26 |
| IsmAvatar | blade: yes | 04:26 |
| louzer | nit-wit: lets hope the GUI wont look ugly | 04:26 |
| blade | firefox has an addon for flash help | 04:27 |
| nit-wit | IsmAvatar, install the FF addon flashaid, that should get you the latest and cleaned up | 04:27 |
| blade | that's the one | 04:27 |
| louzer | gotta go nit-wit | 04:27 |
| blade | if your running x64 it works like a charm | 04:27 |
| nit-wit | louzer, good luck | 04:27 |
| louzer | will be back if shit happned | 04:27 |
| IsmAvatar | blade/nit-wit, ok, i'll look into that. Thanks. | 04:27 |

| IsmAvatar | blade: pretty sure I'm running 32 bit everything. Should have done 64 bit probably, since this is a beast of a computer, so I'm probably just holding it back >_> | 04:29 |
| blade | what cpu you run ismavatar | 04:30 |
| IsmAvatar | oh, it is 64 bit firefox, according to flash-aid | 04:31 |
| IsmAvatar | blade: you'll have to help me find that info. It's not like I can just type "cpu" in unity and expect to get an answer anymore :-p | 04:32 |
| blade | are the red messages private? | 04:32 |

| blade | ismavatar type lscpu in terminal | 04:33 |
| IsmAvatar | lscpu, figures they'd name it something simple like that. First thing I tried was lspci | 04:33 |
| blade | damnsogood use unetbootin | 04:34 |
| DamnSoGooD | IsmAvatar, ubuntu 10.04 because my SSD is very unpredictable now, maybe it's wore down already | 04:34 |
| TheCyph3r | Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar? | 04:34 |
| IsmAvatar | DamnSoGooD: there are instructions on the Download page: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 04:35 |
| blade | damnsogood what brand of thumb drive do you have | 04:35 |
| louzer | nit-wit: that doesnt help | 04:35 |
| DamnSoGooD | kingston II | 04:35 |
| blade | file format? | 04:35 |
| louzer | nit-wit: nomodset causes the same problem. the installer tries blinks trying to start GUI | 04:35 |
| louzer | nit-wit: and fails | 04:35 |
| blade | damnsogood use unetbootin | 04:36 |
| IsmAvatar | blade: yeah, it says it's x86_64 architecture Intel | 04:36 |
| DamnSoGooD | anything | 04:36 |
| nit-wit | louzer, not sure beyond that but this is the channel to find out. | 04:36 |
| blade | ismavatar how much ram do you run on there? | 04:36 |
| louzer | nit-wit: thanks | 04:36 |
| DamnSoGooD | it's for a live usb not a substitute for a \harddrive | 04:36 |
| gogeta | IsmAvatar: that normaly mean 64 bit | 04:37 |
| IsmAvatar | blade: found it. 5.6 GiB memory, 2x Pentium Dual Core CPU @ 2.5 GHz ea. | 04:37 |
| blade | damnsogood yes unetbootin will make your flash drive act just like an install CD | 04:37 |
| DamnSoGooD | i'm not asking for making a live USb, what i'm asking is how to install ubuntu into usb drive | 04:37 |
| gogeta | IsmAvatar: dule core is 64bit unless its p3d | 04:38 |
| IsmAvatar | DamnSoGooD: oh, sorry. Disregard me then. | 04:38 |
| gogeta | p4d | 04:38 |
| Guest79909 | IsmAvatar: wow, your devices so stronge. | 04:38 |
| louzer | hi all, does anyone know why would ubuntu 11.04 installer have trouble starting up its GUI when I have an nvidia GeForce GT 330. I tried nomodeset and that did not help either | 04:38 |
| blade | ismavatar yea i would be willing to bet your running x64 ib on all of it | 04:38 |
| TheCyph3r | Are there any advantages of using Nautilus over Thunar? | 04:39 |
| blade | damnsogood you can also use unetbootin to install it on the pen drive and it will act like a small SSD | 04:39 |
| gogeta | louzer: did you just answer your own question | 04:39 |
| louzer | gogeta: how | 04:39 |
| gogeta | louzer: you said will it have issues then said its not working | 04:39 |
| IsmAvatar | blade: I used a 32 bit ubuntu install CD, iirc | 04:40 |
| blade | gogeta he has been in and out of here working on this same problem for some time now | 04:40 |
| DamnSoGooD | blade, but it is still just a live usb taking long to boot, what i want is a permanent install into a USB stick | 04:40 |
| louzer | gogeta: yes i did reboot to try to install and now im back | 04:40 |
| gogeta | louzer: your best chance would install it text mode then install the nivida drivers by hand | 04:40 |
| blade | ismavatar are you in 11 4? | 04:41 |
| === Guest79909 is now known as bluebird | ||

| IsmAvatar | unfortunately | 04:41 |
| gogeta | louzer: alt install cd | 04:41 |
| blade | damnsogood that is the only way to install on a pen drive that i know of | 04:41 |
| louzer | gogeta: at boot prompt? | 04:41 |
| gogeta | louzer: its a diffrent iso with a cli installer | 04:42 |
| louzer | gogeta: oh got it | 04:42 |
| blade | ismavatar i am not sure but i think that even if you had the 32 bit it may have upgraded on a update to x64 i think it was 11 4 that i was reading about that was doing that | 04:42 |
| rww | There is no way to go from 32-bit to 64-bit without reinstalling, so no. | 04:42 |
| blade | ok | 04:43 |
| tofa | Hi | 04:43 |
| bluebird | yep, that's truth. | 04:43 |
| DamnSoGooD | ok, if that's so, alternatively how can i restore my SSD back to its almost factory condition? | 04:43 |
| blade | ismavatar then you must have used a x64 install | 04:43 |
| blade | define "factory condition" | 04:44 |
| DamnSoGooD | to its original state | 04:44 |
| blade | original state as in file format? | 04:44 |
| DamnSoGooD | yes, and there are still files that I cannot delete | 04:45 |
| blade | what os | 04:45 |
| blade | Nix or M$ | 04:45 |
| DamnSoGooD | just file systems that still appears in testdisk | 04:46 |

| gogeta | DamnSoGooD: dban did? | 04:48 |
| blade | damnsogood system admin disk utility | 04:48 |
| blade | you can format to any file format you want from there | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | tofa, any activities beforehand, updates in windows or ubuntu...etc | 04:48 |
| xangua | TheCyph3r: nautilus us a submarine, thunar a hammer, you can destroy submarines with hammerd | 04:48 |
| xangua | advantage ;) | 04:48 |
| nit-wit | tofa, have you run sudo update-grub in a terminal? | 04:49 |
| DamnSoGooD | it seems to be locked | 04:49 |
| blade | thecyph3r when in doubt install both and try them out.... they are both free | 04:49 |
| tofa | No I don't think so. | 04:49 |
| vivekimsit | Which is the best video downloader for ubuntu..? | 04:49 |
| gogeta | DamnSoGooD: dban will kill any data on the drive | 04:49 |

| gogeta | DamnSoGooD: http://www.dban.org/ | 04:51 |
| DamnSoGooD | then the other time, my SSD won't show up in the boot order | 04:51 |
| blade | damnsogood in disk utility unmount the drive and delete partition then format.... it will be clean as the day it was made | 04:51 |
| nit-wit | tofa, the star is the boot flag | 04:51 |
| DamnSoGooD | what would you say about hdparm? | 04:52 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, I've run sudo update-grub | 04:52 |
| DamnSoGooD | and testdisk? | 04:52 |
| bluebird | tomek_: emacs | 04:52 |
| DamnSoGooD | and dban ? they cannot wipe out my SSD | 04:52 |

| ParkerR | Hey | 05:07 |
| gogeta | idlemind324: its for windows and linux | 05:07 |
| gogeta | idlemind324: in the repos for linux | 05:07 |
| === sabayonuser is now known as sumpygump | ||

| Guest57503 | no media lib came up.. | 05:07 |
| genewitch | idlemind324: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 05:07 |
| genewitch | idlemind324: that one? | 05:07 |
| tofa | nit-wit, here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/649692/ | 05:08 |
| nit-wit | thanks holdon tofa | 05:08 |
| genewitch | Guest57503: search for ugly it's called "GStreamer extra plugins" | 05:08 |
| Guest57503 | oh i see it | 05:08 |
| bluebird | sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 05:08 |
| gogeta | idlemind324: where it says space to reserve for multi reboots | 05:08 |
| Guest57503 | thank you | 05:09 |
| gogeta | idlemind324: set that up and usb mobile distro | 05:09 |
| genewitch | rebooting to windows, talk to you folks tomorrow | 05:09 |
| DBordello | So I guess the decision is whether I want a regular installtion or "live" system on my USB key. Pros/Cons? | 05:09 |
| genewitch | DBordello: the livecd is guaranteed to boot more than once | 05:09 |
| genewitch | DBordello: with no fuss and no grub config | 05:10 |
| gogeta | DBordello: grub tends to have a hart attack when you change pcs usb drive or not' | 05:10 |
| DBordello | gogeta, it will remain on the same machine. Headless/diskless machine | 05:10 |
| gogeta | DBordello: then you can do nativ no issue | 05:10 |
| DBordello | genewitch, what does the live system do when it needs to swap out? | 05:10 |
| genewitch | DBordello: crash, but why would it need to swap | 05:10 |
| jen_ | hello all | 05:11 |
| DBordello | genewitch, low on ram? | 05:11 |
| Guest97451 | is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu? | 05:11 |
| genewitch | DBordello: you might be better off with a compact flash card, is this a laptop? | 05:11 |
| blade | lmao @ genwitch | 05:11 |
| DBordello | genewitch, no, desktop. | 05:11 |
| gogeta | genewitch: not true ubuntu has a toram option if you got enough ram | 05:11 |
| idlemind324 | ok so i got that app installed | 05:11 |
| genewitch | DBordello: for under $5 you can get a kit to make CF into normal IDE | 05:11 |
| nit-wit | tofa, I think you may not be aware of the scroll feature in the grub menu, it shows in the bootscipt in the os-prober. Have you scrolled all the way to the bottom? | 05:11 |
| idlemind324 | it's going through the paces atm | 05:11 |
| gogeta | genewitch: so you can load the entire os in ram | 05:11 |
| genewitch | gogeta: right but that's not swap | 05:11 |
| DBordello | i am a little worried about the amount of ram as well | 05:12 |
| idlemind324 | we shall see if it works. i'm interested in doing this to some kind of compact flash if possible down the line. i kind of like how you can buy a dell server with a cf chip them and load the cf up with esxi | 05:12 |
| genewitch | DBordello: use additional thumb drives as swap | 05:12 |
| tofa | Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before.... | 05:12 |
| genewitch | DBordello: mkswap /dev/sd<thumbdriveletter | 05:12 |
| DBordello | genewitch, why would a CF be better? Besides being able to be IDE | 05:12 |
| gogeta | DBordello: well if you go nativ you need to install on that system or grub will choke and die | 05:12 |
| DBordello | genewitch, okay. Any reason I can't have that all on the same device? | 05:12 |
| genewitch | DBordello: faster, for a start. and it is an IDE drive, so linux loves it more than a USB drive. | 05:13 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, I can try booting into windows again and see if works. | 05:13 |
| DBordello | gogeta, that is what I was planning | 05:13 |
| gogeta | DBordello: using a usb drive is fine eyther way just slect it | 05:13 |
| DBordello | Do the live systems with persistent storage allow package installation, configurations, etc. | 05:13 |
| genewitch | DBordello: you can have it all on the same device but thumb drives aren't that fast to begin with. i dunno, give it a shot, but DD your device from another machine when you're done setting it up | 05:13 |
| gogeta | DBordello: i recomond btrfs with the ssd option on | 05:13 |
| nit-wit | tofa, you have 7 kernel sets, it should be there. You have run the update-grub XP would not be there if it was not in the grub menu | 05:13 |
| genewitch | DBordello: yes they allow apt-get (i run backtrack on persistent usb) | 05:14 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, Yes, I think I have. All the partitions have been accessible before.... | 05:14 |
| DBordello | gogeta, didn't even think about that. Any reason why? | 05:14 |
| gogeta | DBordello: sd drives tend to need the same ruleset less writing to the drive longer life span | 05:14 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, I'll give it a go then. Thanks for your help. | 05:14 |
| genewitch | gogeta: and swap is lots of writing | 05:14 |
| DBordello | genewitch. How does that work? / isn't saved on reboot, right? | 05:14 |
| genewitch | gogeta: whcih is why i recommend another thumb drive :-) | 05:14 |
| gogeta | DBordello: no swap | 05:14 |
| genewitch | DBordello: yeah, it's persistent | 05:14 |
| nit-wit | tofa, to be honest the "I think I have is not enough for me" run the update-grub command and look closely XP will be there I suspect, scroll to the bottom of the terminal | 05:15 |
| gogeta | DBordello: i genrelly dont have any issue running ubuntu without swap on a 4gb ssd | 05:15 |
| genewitch | gogeta: 4gb? | 05:15 |
| genewitch | gogeta: server? | 05:15 |
| gogeta | genewitch: netbook with btrfs ssd and compressed | 05:15 |
| genewitch | i have half a mind to drop ubuntu on an older laptop on a 4gb CF (i have xp on it right now) | 05:15 |
| DBordello | no swap sounds dangerous to me | 05:15 |
| genewitch | btrfs? | 05:15 |
| gogeta | genewitch: whole os installed size 700mb hehe | 05:15 |
| genewitch | DBordello: the machine i am talking to you fromhas no swap | 05:15 |
| genewitch | DBordello: and 640mb of ram | 05:16 |
| DBordello | hmmm | 05:16 |
| DBordello | i can beat that | 05:16 |
| DBordello | barely | 05:16 |
| gogeta | genewitch: you have to trick the installer but it works | 05:16 |
| genewitch | DBordello: it means i have to restart a service every day, but other than that, it's cheap. | 05:16 |
| tofa | Nitwit, Yes it is there. | 05:16 |
| DBordello | hmmm | 05:16 |
| gogeta | DBordello: well 640mb on a server shouldent be a issue relly | 05:17 |
| nit-wit | tofa, so your set, you might clean out some of those kernels | 05:17 |
| genewitch | DBordello: wait, the irsii box is gentoo, no swap. it never crashes anything. the ubuntu box i am ssh'd into is the one that has a service silently die every day | 05:17 |
| DBordello | So, if the usb key remains with the same PC, I am hearing that there is no reason not to do a full install, and give er a little swap | 05:17 |
| blade | dbordello just pick up a small flash drive for swap | 05:17 |
| DBordello | I have a 8gb USB 3.0 drive that I am going to be using. I feel like that should be sufficient | 05:17 |
| genewitch | DBordello: if you do a single thumb drive, make sure you have a straight dd backup | 05:17 |
| genewitch | DBordello: just to save the trouble | 05:17 |
| DBordello | genewitch, good call | 05:17 |
| gogeta | DBordello: swaping on a sd drive just make it noit last as long | 05:18 |
| blade | dbordello it should be fine that is what i ran 9 10 for almost a year on was a 8 gig flash | 05:18 |
| genewitch | DBordello: and good luck. if it works for you i might try and make a server image that way | 05:18 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, I've always been slightly annoyed by the number of options grub gives me to boot into when I start up. How do I clean them out? | 05:18 |
| genewitch | blade: keen | 05:18 |
| rkj90266 | can anyone tell me where to find a good linux program that will aggregate podcasts and sync them with a 5th gen ipod? Rhythmbox aggregates but can't sync, gtkpod is not being maintained, banshee crashes my ipod | 05:18 |
| Ali2000 | hello all. I have 7300 gs nvidia graphic card ,, i have problem with it. the system do not recognize it , ii have test it on ubuntu 10.04 10.10 and natty , if i change to nvidia 8400 it will be solved? | 05:18 |
| gogeta | DBordello: as long as you dont mind replacing the drive every few months have at it | 05:18 |
| Guest97451 | is there any RAM reader software for ubuntu? | 05:19 |
| nit-wit | tofa, I use the easy method there is a app called ubuntu tweak that will do it easily. its not in the repos do you want a link | 05:19 |
| DBordello | gogeta, i see. I'll give it a shot without swap | 05:19 |
| tofa | Nit-wit, That would be brilliant. | 05:19 |
| DBordello | and see how it feels | 05:19 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: i'm seeing stuff like "install itunes under wine" | 05:19 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: and a few ryhtmbox fixes | 05:19 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: did you get a ryhtmbox database error of any sort? | 05:19 |
| gogeta | DBordello: or get a relly cheap 1gb drive what are they these days 5$ and use it for swap | 05:20 |
| blade | nit-wit i have seen that but have never used it. do you like the results | 05:20 |
| genewitch | gogeta: aka readyboost | 05:20 |
| genewitch | DBordello: 4GB $8 :-D | 05:20 |
| DBordello | genewitch, true. | 05:20 |
| nit-wit | blade, yeah it is the easy gui way, I'm lazy | 05:20 |
| genewitch | i used a $5 thumb drive as swap when i was parsing wikipedia xmls | 05:20 |
| DBordello | I guess with a live system, it is setup to not be thrashing on the drive. Would the "liveness" of it start to annoy me if I am installing stuff, etc? | 05:21 |
| blade | nit-wit sounds like what i need then cuz so am i lol | 05:21 |
| HackNewton | hay friends | 05:21 |
| gogeta | DBordello: couse even if you blow up swap the os will keep running and toss a new one in | 05:21 |
| rkj90266 | genewitch yes, i get a whole series of "error: resource not found" messages when I try to sync | 05:21 |
| HackNewton | well i am big trouble here | 05:21 |
| HackNewton | i changed my CompizConfig settings and i lost my complete unity desktop | 05:21 |
| HackNewton | i cannot access anything at all | 05:22 |
| rkj90266 | genewitch i would prefer to have a native linux program instead of itunes, and from what i have read it sounds like itunes is buggy | 05:22 |
| blade | hacknewton what is wrong with loosing unity lol | 05:22 |
| HackNewton | does anyone know how to undo those effects ? | 05:22 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: i am looking sir | 05:22 |
| HackNewton | blade, i cant access anything | 05:22 |
| gogeta | DBordello: but you said a server so your probly not going to even need swap being your probly not going to be using tons of memery | 05:23 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: it seems like you're having an odd issue, perhaps submit a bug to rhythmbox maintainers? | 05:23 |
| blade | hacknewton log out and log back in before you put your password in at the lower rightish of the screen you can log in with different options | 05:23 |
| DBordello | gogeta, correct | 05:23 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: i'm getting 6 results on google for your exact issue | 05:23 |
| genewitch | and none have a solution | 05:23 |
| nit-wit | tofa, here is a web link just run the three commands it will pput it in your update sources list. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-tweak-0-5-8-released-with-ubuntu-11-04-support.html | 05:23 |

| ObrienDave | Ali2000: I would try a smaller number first. | 05:24 |
| HackNewton | blade, dude i am using desktop without effect option and i want my old normal desktop back | 05:24 |
| jay__ | videoos still arnt playing.. | 05:24 |
| jay__ | videos* | 05:24 |
| gogeta | jay__: cough vlc | 05:24 |
| jay__ | >.< | 05:24 |
| blade | hacknewton have you tried to log into your ubuntu unity desktop | 05:24 |
| Logan_ | gogeta: feel better | 05:25 |
| HackNewton | blade, yes | 05:25 |
| gogeta | Logan_: yes i always love my video whont play question | 05:25 |
| blade | hacknewton you could also open your package manager and purge compiz | 05:25 |
| HackNewton | blade, it only shows my DVD drive icon its all | 05:25 |
| rkj90266 | genewitch that's discouraging, surprising really that this is as hard as it is | 05:25 |
| Ali2000 | any one here know how to run vlc as root ? | 05:25 |
| genewitch | PS i think it should be more apparent that you need to run an apt-get dist-upgrade if it says "packages held back" | 05:25 |
| gogeta | Ali2000: madness | 05:26 |
| === Guest97451 is now known as napster | ||
| Logan_ | sudo vlc | 05:26 |
| Logan_ | or gksudo vlc, I suppose | 05:26 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: i know your feelings, trust me. But the only way to fix it sometimes is to submit a bug to the maintainers so they can get it patched. | 05:26 |
| Ali2000 | it show this : VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. | 05:26 |
| Ali2000 | If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports | 05:26 |
| Ali2000 | you can use vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and | 05:26 |
| Ali2000 | cannot be run by non-trusted users first). | 05:26 |
| FloodBot1 | Ali2000: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:26 |
| genewitch | gogeta: maybe he wants to vlc /dev/sda1 | 05:26 |
| gogeta | genewitch: he should be able to acess read only even on that | 05:27 |
| genewitch | Ali2000: you trying to run it as a server? | 05:27 |
| gogeta | genewitch: enough for vlc to work | 05:27 |
| rkj90266 | genewitch maybe i will try itunes and wine then | 05:27 |
| Ali2000 | no | 05:27 |
| genewitch | Ali2000: then you don't need root | 05:27 |
| blade | nit-wit in 11 4 compiz and unity are not good friends is that right? | 05:27 |
| genewitch | rkj90266: good luck, sorry i couldn't help more. check back during united states daytime when someone who has one can help :-) | 05:27 |
| maalac | blade: yes ..it has lot of problem based on my experience | 05:28 |
| Ali2000 | I am using root account in my ubuntu desktop | 05:28 |

| gogeta | Ali2000: sudo only | 05:28 |

| mrk1 | actionparsnip alright thanks a lot! ill try to fix it | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Mrk1: search for: marco braida mv cp status apt-get clean old usually makes it appear. Its in a launchpad question, scroll down a few, you'll see it | 05:53 |

| aum | how to install openoffice.org in ubuntu 11.04, i have install the deb files but its giving dpkg error | 05:58 |
| YankDownUnder | mrk1, Well, as ActionParsnip had said, you can just do a re-installation of Samba and that should be that...except for the fact that you'll have to re-configure your shares mate... | 05:58 |
| uw_ | whats the error aum | 05:58 |
| bazhang | uw_, please ask | 05:58 |
| Sia | ok, now how can I connect to one of APs found by iwlist? | 05:58 |

| Sia | I am confuzed in terms SSID, BSSID and ESSID | 06:00 |
| mrk1 | yankdownunder that is the problem i am having, i am trying to but the option to do so is gone when i right click on the file | 06:00 |
| uw_ | bazhang, i dont really want to set up a mirror. it seems silly that i should have to because a fully installable system is available via cdrom | 06:00 |

| YankDownUnder | mrk1 Um...now ya lost me..."Right click the file" -> I don't get it...??? | 06:01 |
| mrk1 | yankdownunder i used to be able to share my files/folders by right clicking and saying share folder, that option is gone entirely | 06:02 |
| bazhang | uw_, I may have misunderstood, sorry, did you mean 'netboot' as opposed to using unetbootin to install iso to usb stick? | 06:02 |
| DBordello | I am impressed with the usb LIVE installation. It appears to be a real install :) I installed a package, messed with /etc, and rebooted. It all stayed. | 06:02 |
| YankDownUnder | mrk1, Right - so you've done a re-install of Samba - have you, perchance, rebooted? | 06:02 |
| uw_ | bazhang, i have the whole cd on the netboot server...how can i get it too look at that (preferably via NFS not HTTP or FTP) | 06:02 |
| mrk1 | yankdownunder yes i have and still nothing..im stumped | 06:03 |
| uw_ | bazhang, i mean over the network, i dont have a usb key | 06:03 |
| mrk1 | yankdownunder i also have killalled nautilys | 06:03 |
| YankDownUnder | mrk1, Look, in your Package Manager, there is an admin utiliity for Samba - ya might want to install it, and try this all over again...the other option is to completely remove samba from this machine, reboot, re-install samba, then try again... | 06:04 |
| bazhang | uw_, okay you said 'netbootin' I presumed wrongly you referred to 'unetbootin' | 06:04 |
| uw_ | bazhang, it is requsting a mirror (something like us.archive.ubuntu.com) i would like it too look locally, via the same NFS share that it used to grab other files from. | 06:05 |
| mrk1 | yankdownunder alright, ill try that, thanks | 06:05 |
| uw_ | bazhang, yes sorry about that. i met "netbootin'" as a slang for "netbooting", the verb for using netboot | 06:05 |
| uw_ | bazhang, i could set up a http or ftp server on this...but its kinda unessary just so the client can pull in files. the NFS is set up and working properlly, why cant it just keep using that for everything on the CD as normal? | 06:07 |
| bazhang | uw_, I dont know much about the pxe netboot issue, sorry for the misunderstanding on my part | 06:07 |
| uw_ | bazhang, ok understood. thank you for your offering of help though | 06:08 |

| DBordello | it works great with persistent partitions | 06:12 |

| ActionParsnip | DBordello: can you define "less live" please | 06:14 |
| DBordello | ActionParsnip, sure. Doesn't automatically login all of the consoles. Remove the default ubuntu user. | 06:14 |
| Kartagis | I can't bring ubuntu back from sleep, where can I turn that off? power options? | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DBordello: if you use unetbootin the you are simply transferring the live cd to usb. Updates wi not stick. If you create a persistent install you can add all manner of changes and startup scripts and after a reboot they will not be lost | 06:17 |
| DBordello | ActionParsnip, I used unetbootin with a persistent storage. It is actually reall impressive. It behaves like a full install | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | DBordello: if you run system updates then reboot you will have to older versions of the apps | 06:19 |
| DBordello | ActionParsnip, oh reall :/ I did notice if i installed a package using apt-get, it showed up upon reboot. | 06:20 |
| DBordello | which I thought was nice | 06:20 |
| DBordello | ActionParsnip, i am attempting to run a system from USB. I am trying to decide if it is best to run it as a live environment, or install to the usb key | 06:20 |
| KM0201 | i'm not sure most USB's would have room for a bunch of updates toa persistent install | 06:20 |

| bazhang | beachbuddah, right click keep on tray? | 06:26 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: it has the correct spelling also | 06:27 |
| beachbuddah | bazhang, I've only discovered one way to see the various installed apps - when I look at it that way the right click is disabled | 06:27 |

| corestorm | I've done this already | 06:34 |
| corestorm | it's not clearing my DNS cache. | 06:34 |
| glebihan | skrmm, in that case you would have to use an upstart job | 06:35 |
| corestorm | Does anyone know what i need to do here ? | 06:35 |
| skrmm | corestorm, service networking restart? | 06:36 |
| glebihan | skrmm, here is an example of a simple upstart job I made : http://paste.ubuntu.com/649733/ | 06:36 |
| corestorm | Mabie there's a cache on my router ? | 06:36 |
| skrmm | glebihan, Oh, ok, I guess I should rtfm about upstart, thanks | 06:36 |
| corestorm | Or some shit | 06:36 |
| glebihan | skrmm, also have a look to other jobs in /etc/init | 06:36 |

| n00bRX | Hey Fellas .. I have a total ass dumb question | 07:12 |
| Punna | like, the connection the console app uses will be going through that proxy (specifically, SOCK5) | 07:12 |
| Lasers | !ask | n00bRX | 07:12 |
| ubottu | n00bRX: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:12 |
| n00bRX | ok, thank you. I won't ask to ask again | 07:12 |
| n00bRX | somehow I "moved" the active window I was in to the top left of the screen and locked it in place | 07:12 |
| n00bRX | it sucks because I can't read the screen properly, and I can't seem to get it to "appear normal" meaning that I don't have control of moving it around | 07:13 |
| n00bRX | So what exactly did I do? | 07:13 |
| n00bRX | Thanks ubottu & lasers | 07:13 |
| csdwifi | n00bRX, you might have switched workspaces | 07:13 |
| n00bRX | No, I didn't switch workplaces. | 07:13 |
| n00bRX | as in holding shift, alt, ctrl and then an arrow key | 07:14 |
| esr_ | \server irc.irc-hispano | 07:14 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: Hold ALT and try drag the window? | 07:14 |
| n00bRX | I clicked on something with my mouse, and it's like the border around that active window disappeared and locked it to the uppert left side of my active workspace | 07:14 |
| n00bRX | ok one second lasers | 07:14 |
| Lasers | Border disappear? You don't have metacity or compiz running | 07:15 |
| n00bRX | I do believe I have compiz running | 07:15 |
| n00bRX | should I go back into the compfix settings and make sure my borders are turned on. | 07:15 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: Err. Sure. If you were tweaking with compiz settings when that happen, that information might be useful. | 07:16 |
| n00bRX | for instance lasers, this active xchat IRC isn't giving me the usual min, max and close in the upper left | 07:16 |
| n00bRX | I actually wasn't tweaking compfiz | 07:17 |
| n00bRX | I mean I have in the past, but at this point and juncture I wasn't not in compfiz. | 07:17 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: Try enabling metacity/compiz the way you usually. | 07:17 |
| n00bRX | For instance, firefox gives me the option to minimize, maximize and then the "x" to close out. | 07:17 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: Open a terminal -- "metacity --replace &&" ? | 07:17 |
| Lasers | "metacity --replace &" | 07:18 |
| n00bRX | Lasers, it worked perfectly. | 07:18 |
| n00bRX | I have my "borders" back .. so what did I do exactly? | 07:19 |
| n00bRX | Or where in the help file can you point me so I can go read and learn | 07:19 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: Great. Now you should run that from "ALT+F2" -- So you don't have to close/cancel the terminal. | 07:19 |
| Lasers | n00bRX: I don't know. Something occured. | 07:19 |
| Lasers | occurred. | 07:19 |

| cruskai239 | translations and basic coding | 07:37 |
| bazhang | cruskai239, whats your support issue | 07:38 |
| cruskai239 | kubuntu 11.04 32 bit works great except for one slight issue. thing doesnt hibernate | 07:38 |
| bazhang | cruskai239, whats swap and how much ram | 07:39 |
| cruskai239 | 4 gb of ram | 07:39 |
| trenth | bazhang, it tells me my version of ndiswrapper is 1.55 not 1.56 | 07:39 |
| trenth | ? | 07:39 |
| lartza | How big does /boot get in ubuntu? | 07:39 |
| lartza | server | 07:39 |
| lartza | since it varies what distro | 07:40 |
| lartza | *distro's recommend, I have 32M on gentoo but 100 on Arch | 07:40 |
| popey | lartza: depends how many kernels you have kicking around | 07:40 |
| popey | lartza: mine is about 74MB at the moment | 07:40 |
| cruskai239 | no partitioning. the os takes the whole drive | 07:40 |
| popey | lartza: with about 8-10 kernels | 07:40 |
| bazhang | cruskai239, no swap at all? | 07:40 |
| cruskai239 | 10 gb | 07:41 |
| lartza | popey: Does ubuntu have a fallback kernel? | 07:41 |
| lartza | Like a rescue kernel | 07:41 |
| popey | lartza: dunno what that means, I usually leave a few kernels kicking around though | 07:41 |
| lartza | popey: Like kernel.img and kernel-fallback.img? | 07:42 |
| lartza | A rescue kernel | 07:42 |
| popey | lartza: no | 07:42 |
| popey | not by default | 07:42 |
| lartza | 50M it is then :) | 07:42 |
| popey | heh | 07:43 |
| envygeeks | wait, ubuntu does have a rescue mode where it drops everything from the Kernel | 07:45 |
| envygeeks | you should be able to tap esc over and over on 11.04+ and access it | 07:45 |

| maalac | hi, need help in reseting bios password on ProBook 6555b? already remove the batter but still ask for password | 07:55 |
| lartza | maalac: Of course | 07:55 |
| lartza | maalac: You need to remove the motherboard battery for quite some time | 07:56 |
| zagibu | Dapper Drake was the best release, you should go back to that ;) | 07:56 |
| zagibu | maalac: or there might be a reset bios jumper on the board | 07:56 |
| maalac | lartza: how many minutes ? it's not attached to it right now but still not resetting.. | 07:56 |
| zagibu | or clear cmos | 07:57 |
| lartza | maalac: The motherboard battery not the laptop battery? | 07:57 |
| lartza | Also try backdoor passwords http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.html | 07:57 |
| onez | anyone have suggestion? I wanna buy audio interface for recording. | 07:57 |
| maalac | lartza: yes, that's what i did .. | 07:57 |
| lartza | maalac: Yea sorry, some people would just probably remove the laptop battery :) | 07:57 |
| zagibu | malaac: also, you shouldn't steal other ppl's laptops | 07:57 |
| lartza | To be sure :) | 07:57 |
| maalac | lartza: this is my laptop provided by HP. I just need to enable something on the bios to work on the 64bit virtualization | 07:58 |
| maalac | zagibu: ..this is my laptop provided by HP | 07:59 |
| sedawk | how do I make a command normally running as root runnable by anyone? | 07:59 |
| lartza | maalac: Look for the CLEAR CMOS jumper? | 08:00 |
| lartza | Clr, clrpws, passwd, password, pwd, clear | 08:00 |
| maalac | ok ...its inside the motherboard right ? | 08:01 |
| maalac | labelled something like that right ? | 08:01 |
| dyd | what tool can i use to verify the integrity of an hd? | 08:01 |
| lartza | maalac: Yes, and the battery can take 15 minutes to 12 hours to clear CMOS :) | 08:02 |
| lartza | maalac: So jumper is easier if you have one on the board | 08:02 |
| maalac | do you haveppen to have diagram for this model : Probook 6555b? | 08:02 |
| lartza | what motherboard? :) | 08:02 |
| maalac | board for this laptop .. | 08:03 |
| csdwifi | may have found a minor annoying bug. Is there anything documented about System Testing locking out if password form is cancelled? | 08:05 |

| aikInsaan | what partition formats does the EFI bootloader understand? | 08:06 |
| wasanzy | I though cp -rf is suppose to force copy a whole directory? but is not doing so for me, still asking me to override or not, what am I missing out? | 08:06 |
| aikInsaan | *which fs formats does* | 08:06 |
| maalac | ok thanks for this.. i'll look for it .. | 08:06 |
| Chousuke | aikInsaan: I think that depends on what drivers it has | 08:06 |
| aikInsaan | Chousuke, hmm...i have not clue about bootloaders...any resource you can point me to grasp the basics? | 08:07 |
| Chousuke | aikInsaan: I don't know much about EFI either to be honest; But I think it should usually be able to boot from most common filesystems | 08:08 |
| aikInsaan | hmm | 08:08 |
| accel_ | grub source code | 08:08 |
| lartza | maalac: Could be under that damn sticker possibly? | 08:08 |
| accel_ | or for osx related, reFIT source code | 08:08 |
| maalac | yes could be.. | 08:09 |
| maalac | need to shutdown and open it up .. | 08:09 |
| fedy | popey: how do u install? | 08:09 |
| lartza | maalac: Try the backdoor passwords? | 08:09 |
| lartza | maalac: You need to know what it is AMI, Phoenix etc. (the BIOS) | 08:10 |
| lartza | maalac: http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-bios-password.html | 08:10 |
| maalac | haven't tried backdoor passwords.. | 08:11 |

| gogeta | Mandrew: or install another window manaer | 08:21 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: always the good thing abought linux dont like the defult settings change it | 08:22 |
| === Joe_Hunnicutt is now known as jcreek | ||
| Mandrew | hehe funny guys but the thing is that you have booth gnome and unity installed in ubuntu 11.04 and i dont want unity in the system | 08:22 |
| Mandrew | gogeta, thats what i want and i want ti purge unity ;) | 08:23 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: well gnome 2 is gone | 08:23 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: 11.10 no fallback to gnome 2 | 08:23 |
| Mandrew | gogeta, im on 11.04 so i still have gnome2 | 08:24 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: unfortanly in a stock ubuntu the unity is kinda stuck with you | 08:24 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: being if you took out the meta package it would take gnome 2 as well | 08:24 |
| Mandrew | not really cuz in synaptic i can find it but im not sure i can safely uninstall it | 08:25 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: you can defently try | 08:25 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: but later just simply avoide stock ubuntu | 08:26 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: i run xfce | 08:26 |
| Mandrew | gogeta, ok well that was good info ;) well maybe i could try to install gnome2 as well then | 08:26 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: run one of the remixes or mint ubuntu based but with any gui you whant bascily | 08:27 |
| Mandrew | i dont like xubuntu nor kubuntu but i really love ubuntu and i dont want to change, just can agree with the stupid decision to use unity | 08:27 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: it was cannels personal vendetta agenst gnome 3 is why we got unity dispite the fact gnome 3 can be totaly changed being it uses js | 08:28 |
| Mandrew | gogeta, i like a proper desktop, not this bs with unity :( | 08:28 |
| Mandrew | why are they fighting gogeta ? | 08:29 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: why im usinf xfce it acts mutch like gnome 2 | 08:29 |
| Mandrew | ok | 08:29 |
| gogeta | Mandrew: i dunno lol they just didnt like it | 08:29 |

| e2 | it doesn't seem to be a lock problem, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place? | 08:32 |
| jcreek | Mandrew, When you boot up 11.04, the first screen is your user name. Click on this, and the next screen is for password. Before you enter your password, look at the bottom panel. Click on Ubuntu and a list of desk top options will open. Click on Classic Ubuntu and you will have the Gnome desktop again. Enjoy. | 08:32 |
| Mandrew | the xubuntu 11.04 gogeta ;) | 08:32 |

| jcreek | Mandrew, You shouldn't be bothered with it again after setting your preference, but this is the last version of Ubuntu to offer that option. | 08:35 |
| gogeta | jcreek: 11.10 is gonna be a epic yrainwreck heh being gnome 2 will be gone | 08:38 |

| oCean | Gunz4MiPPle: that's fine too. However we cannot take action if there's no report of what actually happened | 08:42 |
| jcreek | gogets, yeah sure Ubuntu One has 256 bit download rate or better, which is just as good as Amazon and iTunes. | 08:43 |

| tarelerulz | I have never devede . Plus, they are for like one dvd at time. They take so much time I would love to make like 3 iso in row . Like over night | 08:52 |
| Slart | tarelerulz: I'm not sure if devede has some kind of background engine you can send off jobs to.. but give it a try.. it's point and click, sensible defaults and you should now pretty soon if it's the tool for you | 08:54 |
| oCean | samsul: it is the correct channel name. Also, to search for channels, you can use /msg alis list ubuntu for example | 08:54 |

| arthurwii | google + | 09:17 |
| Infernet | sure | 09:18 |
| mang0 | Slart: I mean with the file searcher?! | 09:18 |
| mang0 | do I just put .wine or whatever? | 09:18 |
| Slart | mang0: I think that will work.. tried it? | 09:18 |
| yesitisjustme | wine can't install msi? | 09:18 |
| mang0 | Slart: no, I will now, thankyou. :) | 09:18 |
| ParkerR | yesitisjustme, it can | 09:18 |
| Infernet | yesitisjustme: btw, vmware it's another great soft emulation | 09:18 |
| ParkerR | Try wine start filename.msi | 09:18 |
| Slart | mang0: .wine is normally in your home folder.. ~/.wine or /home/<yourusername>/.wine | 09:19 |
| Infernet | yesitisjustme: try it | 09:19 |
| mang0 | I'm looking for ..c:blah blah cuz I tried to move it and it didn't work slart :/ | 09:19 |
| ThinkT510 | Infernet: why not suggest virtualbox? | 09:19 |
| Free-man | mornin | 09:19 |
| Slart | mang0: ah.. I see | 09:19 |
| yesitisjustme | i installed opera on wine but can't install adobe flash player on wine does wine not able to install adobe flash? | 09:20 |
| ThinkT510 | yesitisjustme: you can install opera natively on linux | 09:21 |
| ParkerR | Is there a way to disable my internal webcam? I am trying to use zbarcam with an external manual focus webcam but it keeps activating the built in one. | 09:21 |
| szal | yesitisjustme: srsly, why do you install Opera in Wine? what's wrong w/ the native Linux version? | 09:21 |
| Free-man | ParkerR tape over the eye? :) | 09:21 |
| techhelper1 | User: e_imut!~ce_imut@114.79.49.104 spammed me (in a pm) with another server to connect to, just letting the ops know it works by joining this channel | 09:21 |
| ParkerR | XD | 09:21 |
| yesitisjustme | because you can't use gmail phone with linux browser it says only for windows when i try thats why | 09:22 |
| Slart | ParkerR: you might be able to blacklist the module/driver for the webcam.. and hope the other webcam doesn't use the same module/driver | 09:22 |
| Wally | techhelper1: try #freenode | 09:22 |
| oCean | techhelper1: if you want, you can report in #ubuntu-ops | 09:22 |
| user | techhelper1: HUh? | 09:22 |
| Free-man | techhelper1 mention ce_imut too for sme thing | 09:22 |
| Free-man | sam | 09:22 |
| techhelper1 | i meant that person | 09:23 |
| Free-man | ce_imut | 09:23 |
| techhelper1 | i missed a letter on copying | 09:23 |
| oCean | Free-man: techhelper1 please stop that discussion here | 09:23 |
| oCean | Free-man: techhelper1 report problems in #ubuntu-ops please | 09:23 |
| yesitisjustme | it says adobe flashplayer already installed but the browser flash test does not detect it | 09:23 |
| Free-man | oCean mind-reading is verbooten. | 09:24 |
| yesitisjustme | vmware is better than wine? | 09:24 |
| Wally | yesitis | 09:25 |
| ParkerR | Slart, ok how would I determine which one it uses and how would I blacklist? grep comes to mind when identifing | 09:25 |
| Slart | yesitisjustme: vmware is different from wine.. better for some things.. worse for others | 09:25 |
| ThinkT510 | yesitisjustme: it is different, vmware is a virtualisation solution and wine is a compatibilty layer | 09:25 |
| ParkerR | WIINE has better graphics support | 09:26 |
| ParkerR | Can do the PC games | 09:26 |
| Slart | ParkerR: lsmod will give you a list of modules in use.. you could use lsusb to check what the webcam identifies itself as | 09:26 |
| ParkerR | *WINE | 09:26 |
| lartza | init: ureadahead something terminated with status 4 | 09:26 |
| lartza | On boot | 09:26 |
| Slart | ParkerR: but it's probably one of 3 maybe 4 drivers.. there aren't that many | 09:26 |
| yesitisjustme | has anyone installed opera and adobe flash in wine before or maybe only works in firefox? | 09:26 |
| lartza | and boot is black for quite some time after grub? :S | 09:27 |
| lartza | (Server edition) | 09:27 |
| ParkerR | Slart, ok names :) | 09:27 |
| szal | yesitisjustme: http://www.google.com/chat/voice/ <- "Requires XP+ / Mac OS X 10.4+ / Linux" | 09:27 |
| szal | that's what it says | 09:27 |
| Wally | yesitisjustme: I don't think Adobe supports Wine or Linux :/ | 09:28 |
| lartza | init: ureadahead-other main process (562) terminated with status 4 | 09:28 |
| Slart | ParkerR: uvc something.., gspca, v4l .. those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head | 09:28 |
| szal | yesitisjustme: the download button offers me .deb and .rpm format for download | 09:28 |
| ParkerR | v4l1_compat 10250 2 uvcvideo,videodev | 09:29 |
| Slart | ParkerR: here's a thread from ubuntuforums discussion turning off webcams http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291061 | 09:29 |
| yesitisjustme | but on linux i think it says it only works with fedora and opensuse or suse and no other linux only those i think i read | 09:29 |
| yesitisjustme | oh | 09:29 |
| citizen-stig | hi | 09:30 |
| helios__ | hey all | 09:30 |
| ThinkT510 | yesitisjustme: .deb is for debian and ubuntu, .rpm is for suse and fedora | 09:30 |
| citizen-stig | could i run script in cron every30 seconds? | 09:30 |
| yesitisjustme | ok | 09:30 |
| Slart | ParkerR: ah.. then it's using uvcvideo .. you can remove that by running sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo | 09:30 |
| ParkerR | Slart, do i need to rebbot? | 09:31 |
| Slart | ParkerR: nope, it should work right away | 09:31 |
| llutz_ | citizen-stig: with standard cron, just with some weird scripting tricks | 09:31 |
| ParkerR | I get this with the one I want to use unplugged FATAL: Module gspca_main is in use. | 09:32 |
| ParkerR | Slart, | 09:32 |
| citizen-stig | llutz_: thx | 09:32 |
| ParkerR | So I think that is the one I want | 09:32 |
| Slart | ParkerR: and then you'll just have to hope that that other webcam doesn't use the same driver/module =) | 09:33 |
| ParkerR | Slart, well I mean did it unload it or not? | 09:33 |
| Free-man | ParkerR get a pm | 09:33 |
| Slart | ParkerR: no error messages usually means it worked | 09:34 |
| Slart | ParkerR: you can check again with lsmod and see if it's gone | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | I said it said FATAL | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | parker@crunchbang:~$ sudo modprobe -r gspca_main | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | [sudo] password for parker: | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | FATAL: Module gspca_main is in use. | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | parker@crunchbang:~$ lsmod | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | Woo not warning XD | 09:34 |
| ikonia | ParkerR: crunchbang isn't supported here | 09:34 |
| ParkerR | Close | 09:35 |
| ParkerR | And #crunchbang is dead right now | 09:35 |
| ikonia | ParkerR: the channel #crunchbang is the right place | 09:35 |
| ikonia | ParkerR: just because it's dead doesn't mean you get support here | 09:35 |
| ParkerR | I'm already in it | 09:35 |
| ikonia | ParkerR: please try to use the correct channel in future | 09:35 |
| Slart | ParkerR: ah.. it's in use.. try removing the other modules listed next to uvcvideo in the lsmod output.. | 09:35 |

| dr_willis | ive had drive cables get 'cut/nicked' by sharp edges on the case. and by a mouse .. once. :) | 10:05 |
| ThinkT510 | xxmmaann: buy a new harddrive and restore the contents from a backup (you did make backups right?) | 10:05 |
| Tech-1 | it does happen | 10:05 |
| ikonia | xxmmaann: visit a hardware specialist/repair person | 10:05 |
| xxmmaann | ThinkT510: i didnt backup my hdd | 10:05 |
| engrid | hi | 10:06 |
| ThinkT510 | xxmmaann: congratulations, you have just learned the hard way why to do so | 10:06 |
| xxmmaann | :-( | 10:07 |
| Wally | xxmmaann: any important stuff? | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | hard drives truely are the weakest link in the pc's these days. | 10:07 |
| xxmmaann | what? | 10:07 |
| newb | Hi peeps, just bought an internal hardrive and external case, hooked it up to ubuntu 10.04 and its not mounting, how do I check if its being seen by the computer | 10:07 |
| dr_willis | not counting the 'end user' :) ive seen more hard drive failures in recent years then any other problems with pcs | 10:07 |
| ikonia | newb: have you put a file system and partition on it ? | 10:08 |
| ThinkT510 | xxmmaann: like ikonia suggested, see if a repair specialist can salvage the data from it, if you need it | 10:08 |
| newb | no | 10:08 |
| Tech-1 | ya dr_willis especially wd, they are getting a class action suit for their failures | 10:08 |
| ikonia | newb: that's why it's not mounting | 10:08 |
| engrid | hello, how do i enable/disable terminal on pressing ctrl+alt+f1-f6 | 10:08 |
| newb | how do i do that | 10:08 |
| xxmmaann | ThinkT510: i have not any important dada on it | 10:08 |
| xxmmaann | but i cant use my pc withowt hdd:-( | 10:09 |
| ikonia | newb: open the partition manager tool, such as gparted, put a partition on it and a file system | 10:09 |
| Slart | engrid: there is a setting somewhere for how many of those that are started.. that might be useful.. let me search a bit | 10:09 |
| intlkleinblue | hi, i've generated my gpg/pgp key and uploaded it to public keyservers. i've setup my email client (evolution) to send and sign with gpg/gpg and tested it and it works. what i want to know is how to share my key. i see on some peoples websites on their about page: oh, here is my pgp/gpg key btw: and some listing of letters and numbers which is their key. i've tried to look for a pattern of some sort, but can't figure out what i need to | 10:09 |
| ThinkT510 | xxmmaann: you'll need to get a new harddrive then, you can make do for now with livecd or usb to use the pc without a harddrive | 10:09 |
| engrid | Slart, thanks for the response. Do i need to finger around with /etc/inittab ? | 10:10 |
| xxmmaann | ThinkT510: ok:-( | 10:10 |
| DamnSoGooD | ActionParsnip, dude can you help regarding a 8gb SSD acer aspire one . I can't install ubuntu or any derivatives :c | 10:10 |
| dr_willis | engrid: you can make there not be a login there by renaming the /etc/init/tty1.conf (1-6) files. but I think you can still get to the screens.. just nothing there. | 10:10 |
| llutz_ | intlkleinblue: read about "gpg keyserver" | 10:10 |
| DamnSoGooD | dr_willis, ActionParsnip, dude can you help regarding a 8gb SSD acer aspire one . I can't install ubuntu or any derivatives :c | 10:11 |
| engrid | dr_willis, thanks ill try that, how about not even switching to a dumb terminal | 10:11 |
| llutz_ | intlkleinblue: "ltters and numbers" is the fingerprint of their key | 10:11 |
| intlkleinblue | llutz_: yes, i know what that is. i see my key when i go to pgp.mit.edu and search for my email. however, what do i share? | 10:11 |
| Slart | engrid: I'm not sure.. I'm trying to find that setting.. give me sec | 10:12 |
| llutz_ | intlkleinblue: share your public key and spread its fingerprint | 10:12 |
| intlkleinblue | so i share the fingerprint: part llutz_ ? | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | DamnSoGooD: ive never owned a SSD yet. If all else fails you could install to a flash drive. then dd the image to the ssd. i guess. | 10:12 |
| engrid | Slart, thank you i'll wait while i try dr_willis suggestion | 10:12 |
| dr_willis | I recall some other neat tricks for the consoles. like making htop run on alt-ctrl-f8 and so forth. :) | 10:13 |
| newb | In my laptop I have a 250gb, I bouth a 500gb hard disk, I want to make a carbon copy of my old hard disk to the new one, how do i do this? | 10:13 |
| intlkleinblue | gotcha, i've shared the fingerprint part | 10:13 |
| dr_willis | or a resce shell/terminal always on alt-ctrl-f9 but i cant rember how i did it.. | 10:13 |
| intlkleinblue | but what do you mean by spread its fingerprint? | 10:13 |
| DamnSoGooD | dr_willis, ouch, if that's so, i shall just install it in a usb stick.. but i can't make a usb act like a normal hard drive :c | 10:13 |
| xxmmaann | may be some cable but im not sure i have open the pc case for cleaning yesterday but the pc worked some minutes after this , so im not sure | 10:14 |
| xxmmaann | sorry for my english im RO | 10:14 |

| Free-man | ya | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | hexacode: a Nuke Plant Running Windows? thats scary.. | 10:17 |
| hexacode | dr_willis yes they had it i think | 10:17 |
| rac_kemel | hello! | 10:17 |
| hexacode | well...the virus started on a laptop | 10:17 |
| dr_willis | I imagine that Nuke Plant stuff has more Fud and Urban Legands about it then we know real facts. :) | 10:17 |
| hexacode | can anyone think of any possible way for ubuntu to get infected by usb? | 10:18 |
| szal | hexacode, dr_willis: well, they can't use Red Hat/Fedora because it falls under US export restrictions ;) | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | hexacode: i cant imagine how its possible. | 10:18 |
| hexacode | thanks | 10:18 |
| dr_willis | szal: but they could download it theirself... :) | 10:18 |
| hexacode | szal lol they can use north koreas version of linux | 10:18 |
| hexacode | redstar OS | 10:18 |
| newb | dr_willis, like this; dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb | 10:18 |
| DamnSoGooD | dr_willis, how can i install ubuntu into a usb flash drive? | 10:18 |
| imgrey | good day #ubuntu | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | newb: are you SURE those are the right disks? also you want a bs=2048 option for speed. | 10:19 |
| imgrey | what is natty ? testing/stable or unstable ? | 10:19 |
| imgrey | where I can read about versions ? | 10:19 |
| szal | !natty | imgrey | 10:19 |
| ubottu | imgrey: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 10:19 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| dr_willis | DamnSoGooD: sameas youy do to a normal hd.. boot cd. (or a 2nd flash) tell it to insdtall/partion to the other flash. Be sure grub gets installed to it. | 10:19 |
| dr_willis | !versions | 10:19 |
| rac_kemel | I use Ubuntu 11.04. I update my system, and now i have two kernels. But i can not see the old kernel on Ubuntu-tweak (latest version) to clean it ? Is there any problem on my system ? | 10:19 |
| llutz_ | imgrey: stable/testing/unstable is debian, not ubuntu | 10:19 |
| imgrey | what do you mean current release of ubuntu ? | 10:19 |
| imgrey | I use normal debian | 10:19 |
| imgrey | and ther'a unstable/testing and stable branches | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | rac_kemel: i wouldent worry about having 2+ kernels.. when you get 10+ then you may want to clean some out. | 10:20 |
| szal | imgrey: Debian and Ubuntu are NOT the same | 10:20 |
| imgrey | I know | 10:20 |
| DamnSoGooD | ok thanks doc! :D | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | imgrey: ubuntu dosent use the same 'method' like that. | 10:20 |
| imgrey | dr_willis, nothing to proud of | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | we got the LTS version,, then the non LTS versions that are the playgrounds | 10:20 |
| dr_willis | imgrey: whatever.. i find it works well for me. | 10:20 |
| newb | dr_willis, like this; dd bs=2048 if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc, where sda is the original and sdc is the new one | 10:21 |

| [tla] | hi, i tried to release-upgrade from maverick to natty and after the reboot the server has no ssh listener running. i know the server is up because i can ping it and nmap tells me the ps3media server and tor are running. the server is headless and has no serial port. it does have VGA (onboard and additional nvidia card) and a keyboard port. when i power ir on i see no VGA output so have... | 10:21 |
| [tla] | ...no idea what is happening. advice on best way to proceed please! thx :) | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | newb: the 2 disks are the same size? | 10:21 |
| imgrey | in fact I got an issue with virtualbox on ubuntu natty: | 10:21 |
| newb | dr_willis, no | 10:21 |
| imgrey | Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) | 10:21 |
| imgrey | Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root. | 10:21 |
| dr_willis | newb: or is the sdc biger? if its smalller.. that can be a n issue. | 10:21 |
| newb | sdc is bigger | 10:21 |
| imgrey | it happened on one of programmer's desktop | 10:21 |
| imgrey | could someone tell me what I should do ? | 10:21 |
| szal | imgrey: did you do what it said? | 10:22 |
| imgrey | update Ubuntu ? remove it and install debian ? | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | newb: after getting the dd done. You will wan tto use 'gparted' to resize the partitions to fill up the rest of the space. or make a new parittion to use the extra space. | 10:22 |
| imgrey | szad, of course | 10:22 |

| rac_kemel | dr_willis: thank you first. I know that you told me :) . But i will clean the old one from synaptic. But I'm thinking why Ubuntu-tweak does not show me the old one. I will backup my system. I am worying for any problem now. | 10:22 |
| newb | dr_willis, so the terminal code is correct | 10:22 |
| ajah | i have installed grub-pc,grub2 and all staff installed but when i start the machine i see grub prompt and i can boot ubuntu with commands but when i try to boot using grub.cfg ( configfile (hdX,Y)/boot/grub/grub.cfg ) i failed it echo syntax error invalid command invalid mode auto | 10:22 |
| imgrey | Im installing module-assistant | 10:22 |
| JimXL | [tka] you're locked out? | 10:22 |
| imgrey | lets see if it helps | 10:22 |
| dr_willis | newb: looks right to me.. thats how i cloned a hd last week. | 10:22 |
| ajah | any help | 10:23 |
| newb | dr_willis, what does the bs=2048 do? | 10:23 |
| [tla] | JimXL: well there is no ssh daemon running so i cant even connect | 10:23 |
| Madhusudany2k | I am getting below error in Ubuntu 11 and X hangs | 10:24 |
| Madhusudany2k | *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung | 10:24 |

| nikolam | Anyone tried to make mdadm software raid on top of LVM-managed partitions on disks? I would like to have ability of file system snapshots in the future, before updating from LTS to newer releases... | 10:24 |
| nikolam | Anyone installed and using Ubuntu on BTRFS? | 10:25 |
| newb | dr_willis, the thing about dd it doesn't give you a progress percentage | 10:25 |
| [tla] | JimXL: i see no output from the console via VGA and server has no serial port. i do have serial / usb converter but maybe it is too early in the boot process for it | 10:25 |
| nikolam | btrfs | 10:25 |
| JimXL | [tla]: Does it have a cd/dvd drive? Usb port that it can boot from? | 10:25 |
| [tla] | JimXL: yes it has a dvd drive | 10:25 |
| imgrey | module-assistant doesnt help | 10:25 |
| imgrey | any ideas ? | 10:25 |
| [tla] | JimXL: I just dont see why i see nothing from VGA | 10:25 |
| dr_willis | newb: ive seen some tools/scripts that can do it.. but ive never really needed it., | 10:26 |
| llutz_ | newb: as user in a 2nd terminal "killall -USR dd" will give you the progress | 10:26 |
| JimXL | [tla]: Perhaps it's not getting far enough | 10:26 |
| [tla] | JimXL: clearly server is actually booting as i can ping it etc | 10:26 |
| JimXL | [tla]: That's true. | 10:26 |
| llutz_ | USR1 it is, sry | 10:26 |
| newb | llutz, tks | 10:26 |
| Hyperbyte | [tla], did you try pressing a key while VGA is plugged in? | 10:26 |
| [tla] | JimXL: and some apps are running - just not sshd | 10:26 |
| JimXL | [tla]: if it's getting that far then getty should be running. | 10:26 |
| dr_willis | newb: as llutz_ mentioned you could do a 'watch -n 60 <thatcommandhegave>' | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | that would update evry min. | 10:27 |
| [tla] | JimXL: I dont even see BIOS screen which seems v odd | 10:27 |
| llutz_ | newb: if theres only linux + data on the old disk, its faster to copy the stuff using rsync/tar/cp | 10:27 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: you using btrfs on a production system? | 10:27 |
| JimXL | [tla]; hold the shift key down while rebooting to see if the grub menu comes up. | 10:27 |
| [tla] | Hyperbyte: yes | 10:27 |
| dr_willis | newb: rcync/tar/cp would also be faster if the drive 1 is not very full.. | 10:27 |
| newb | dr_willis, tks, approximately how long does it take for a 140gb to 450gb ~? | 10:28 |
| llutz_ | newb: just needs some changes in /etc/fstab and grub | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | newb: no ide really. i normally do such commands then go to lunch. :) | 10:28 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, No, I am using OpenSoalris/OpenIndiana/Soalris/ZFS on produvction system. Btrfs is not there yet. | 10:28 |
| JimXL | [tla] you have two vga cards? | 10:28 |
| JimXL | or ports | 10:28 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: oh good | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | over ide/sata i would guess perhaps 2 hrs.. (guessing) | 10:28 |
| nikolam | I would just like to have file system snapshots when updating Ubuntu , with lvm, whatever | 10:28 |
| dr_willis | over usb... well.. overnight. :) | 10:29 |
| newb | llutz, I presume killall doesnt kill the process | 10:29 |
| dr_willis | newb: if you forget to use that bs= option. it will take a lot longer | 10:29 |
| [tla] | JimXL: on-board VGA and nvidia card | 10:29 |
| newb | did it with bs | 10:29 |
| llutz_ | newb: killall -USR1 sends the USR1-signal to that process, which will answer with progress-message in ths case | 10:29 |
| [tla] | JimXL: tried shift while booting and nothing | 10:29 |
| JimXL | Have you tried both? | 10:29 |
| JimXL | Both vga ports? | 10:30 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, do not want to reinstall ubuntu if something goes wrong for update. Only things I know is that Linux LVM have snapshots , there is mdadm for software RAID that I currently use and there os Btrfs still in Beta | 10:30 |
| [tla] | JimXL: yes | 10:30 |
| JimXL | OK remove one of them, it's possible there's a conflict. | 10:30 |
| [tla] | JimXL: it's like it is not bringing either of them up | 10:30 |
| [tla] | JimXL: the nvidia also has HDMi which i havent tried | 10:30 |
| JimXL | If it's not activating the vga, it's probably not going to have HDMi output. | 10:31 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: i have no experience with lvm or raid, i just wanted to make sure you were aware btrfs isn't production ready (which you evidently do) | 10:31 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, I think there is one guy who installed Ubuntu from boot on ZFS, using still developing ZFS module for Linux. Only problem was file system permission being flat. | 10:32 |
| nikolam | Meaning, he installed, then copied install on ZFS | 10:32 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: i assume thats zfs on fuse? | 10:32 |
| JimXL | [tla] silly question, does the monitor have power? Is the switch on? | 10:32 |
| Judge | Hi there! Since Lucid there have some Daemons switched from /etc/init.d to upstart and it's /etc/init syntax. For managing the Start/Stop - Links in /etc/rc?.d , there were a tool, called update-rc.d . Is such a tool also available for the Upstart - Files? | 10:32 |
| [tla] | JimXL: ok, i see output on the nvidia VGA now. seems the cable had to be connected before i powered it on for it to use it | 10:33 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, no. native Linux ZFS. Still under development but can be tested | 10:33 |
| Judge | This is very interesting, since update-rc.d was very easy to use in scripts and the like. | 10:33 |
| JimXL | [tla] interesting. | 10:33 |
| [tla] | JimXL: see error: /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready / present | 10:33 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, i think there is article from time to time about it on phoronix.com | 10:33 |
| newb | tks guys | 10:34 |
| JimXL | [tla] good deal. | 10:34 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: i thought there were licsence inompatibilities that prevent you from using zfs nativly on linux (hence the development of btrfs) | 10:34 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, thing is that because of CDDL/GPL licensing differences, module could be compiled on site after install. | 10:34 |
| nikolam | Yes, ThinkT510 but noone stops yopu compiling it yourself, or even automatically compile it after install. | 10:35 |
| ThinkT510 | nikolam: while this is interesting we better stop, its getting off topic | 10:35 |
| nikolam | ThinkT510, nope, I think it is on topic, I need FS snapshots for Ubunut upgrade. :P | 10:35 |
| nikolam | Seek LVM or other solution | 10:35 |
| [tla] | JimXL: oh dear, told it to "skip" and system seems to have crashed now - caps lock unresponsive :( | 10:36 |
| Phalstaff | I am interested in terminal programs -- right now I am using gnome-terminal, but I can't help noticing all the other options. I would like some input about what to look for in a terminal program. | 10:37 |

| need_help | i'm running ubuntu 10.10 and i have firefox 4 installed - how do i install firefox 3.6 to a separate place, so it doesn't interfere with my ff4 install? | 10:38 |
| JimXL | [tla] it may be related to the nvidia card. | 10:38 |
| ThinkT510 | Phalstaff: i'd guess that depends on your usage of the terminal and what shell you want | 10:39 |
| [tla] | JimXL: it's weird can still ping the box and got root prompt after selecting "manual fix" but then keyboard has died again after a few keystrokes | 10:40 |
| JimXL | There's a bug for that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/798086 | 10:40 |

| ntr0py | Has someone got Mathematica 8 to emit any sounds with OSS/Pulseaudio in Natty? | 10:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | need_help, That sounds a little tricky; perhaps you could create a different user-name (help_needed?), log-in under that name and install FF 3.6 there. It's be a pain though, you'd have to switch users each time. | 10:41 |
| Phalstaff | I think they all use the bash shell ... I am thinking that if I were to distribute a program I would want a common terminal. | 10:42 |
| Noah | LoL ubuntu. | 10:42 |
| szal | Phalstaff: terminals use whatever shell is the user's login shell (by default, on *buntu it's /bin/dash) | 10:42 |
| szal | Noah: go troll elsewhere | 10:43 |
| JimXL | HektoR: maybe see this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linuxunix-recover-deleted-files.html | 10:43 |
| Noah | You know, szal, you should petition ubuntu to support sparc. Even if you're a noob os, if you support sparc, you rock. | 10:44 |
| Phalstaff | Thank you szal that is news to me! I will check out what the Dash Shell is all about. | 10:44 |
| ThinkT510 | !dash | Phalstaff | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Phalstaff: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 10:44 |
| szal | Noah: Sparc is a niche architecture.. if you want Sparc, use Debian or NetBSD or SunOS ;) | 10:44 |
| Noah | Are you down w/ the dash shell? | 10:44 |
| Noah | szal or gentoo =] | 10:44 |
| Noah | or openbsd, or freebsd (old sparcs). | 10:45 |
| Noah | or inferno | 10:45 |
| Noah | or even nextos some sparc | 10:45 |
| Hyperbyte | Noah, why are you asking about Sparc if you already know the answer? | 10:45 |
| szal | Noah: just keep in mind that many Linuxen have even dropped PPC support, so don't expect something as exotic as Sparc to be widely supported | 10:45 |
| szal | Noah: but that discussion is off-topic here, feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:46 |
| Noah | LoL. | 10:46 |
| Noah | Is there seriously a need for ubuntu? | 10:46 |
| [tla] | JimXL: it seems tty echo is also wrong - "stty echo" gives me normal output for a while then it hangs again. i think this system is now very sick :( priority is to get sshd running so i can connect remotely | 10:47 |
| ThinkT510 | Noah: maybe not for you, but if your too good for ubuntu why are you here trolling? | 10:47 |

| SuperLag | recently, that is | 10:49 |
| szal | SuperLag: you might first of all want to strip it off X & put an ssh server on it (if you haven't already) | 10:49 |
| SuperLag | szal: it's got an ssh server already. | 10:50 |

| Phalstaff | I would never refer to a change from Ubuntu to Windows (or visa versa) as an upgrade -- but maybe that is just me. | 11:03 |
| HackNewton | stercor_, can you please explain your question more so everyone here get more idea about it | 11:03 |
| [tla] | JimXL: it then says "you system is upto date. upgrade will be cancelled" followed by "do you want to start the upgrade"! :s | 11:03 |
| [tla] | JimXL: maybe the apt repository is goosed somehow? | 11:04 |
| mien | JimXL, Left shift key does not give me a grub menu. so i guess mbr is empty or something... but wouldent bios output something like "No mbr found on selected device" or somehting alike? | 11:04 |
| szal | mien: if it boots, then the Grub is there | 11:04 |
| mien | but it does not boot :) | 11:05 |
| coz_ | mien, are you holding the sift key down? | 11:05 |
| mien | so i guess grub is not there. | 11:05 |
| mien | coz_ yes, and i tried 2 times. | 11:05 |
| HackNewton | szal, sorry to correct but if you boot there should be some bootloader not* neccessary* grub | 11:05 |

| HackNewton | okay ;) | 11:07 |
| mien | JimXL, yeah. I can see bios | 11:07 |

| JimXL | frxstrem: filezilla | 11:08 |

| HackNewton | frxstrem, kget or uget | 11:09 |
| stercor_ | szal: What's the format for the resolution? | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: uget and fatrat are 2 I can think of quickly | 11:09 |
| szal | stercor_: <width>x<height> (w/o the brackets) | 11:09 |
| HackNewton | frxstrem, i prefer uget though | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: ive heard people go on about jdownloader too | 11:10 |
| mien | JimXL, im not the guy who installed the system but my colleauge told me it was ubuntu 10.4. But its defenitly ubuntu, not very sure about version. | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | frxstrem: I use fatrat on my fileserver :) | 11:10 |
| frxstrem | JimXL, HackNewton, ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll check those out :) | 11:10 |

| daurnimator | my new pc was an optical out; but it doesn't seem to support 5.1 (DTS) in ubuntu | 11:12 |
| === hugo is now known as Guest93680 | ||
| daurnimator | (sorry, audio related) | 11:12 |
| JimXL | mien and fsck the partitions while you have the live cd booted | 11:12 |
| HackNewton | daurnimator, are you tried changing default audio setting ? | 11:13 |
| HackNewton | daurnimator, if yes go for additional driver installtion | 11:13 |
| daurnimator | HackNewton: yeah, theres analogue 5.1 abd digital stereo. | 11:13 |
| dr_willis | I recall a live cd/menu on Ubuntu? once that had a reinstall grub option. anyone else recall ever seeing This? | 11:13 |
| daurnimator | no digital 5.1 :( | 11:13 |
| daurnimator | HackNewton: any idea what drivers are needed | 11:13 |
| daurnimator | i also don't mind if its 5.1 over hdmi I get | 11:13 |
| JimXL | dr_willis that would be nice. Haven't seen it though | 11:14 |
| HackNewton | daurnimator, well there is no all in one solution for your driver you have to see which is your h/w vender. There is utitilites in USC which can help you to install Third party drivers | 11:15 |
| dr_willis | JimXL: i aware I saw it on a Ubuntu cd once.. I only use Ubuntu, unless it was some variant. | 11:16 |
| HackNewton | guys is there any way to enable rpm packages in ubuntu ? (i know it sound stupid :} ) | 11:17 |
| Slart | !alien | HackNewton | 11:17 |
| ubottu | HackNewton: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 11:17 |
| dr_willis | ! alien | 11:17 |
| stercor_ | Can/Will someone kick stercor? I can't logon with that nick because it's already in use. | 11:17 |
| szal | HackNewton: what for? | 11:17 |
| ikonia | stercor_: ask in #freenode | 11:18 |
| dr_willis | hmm a space keeps getting adds after I do a! | 11:18 |
| HackNewton | stercor_, you should have register your nick | 11:18 |
| szal | stercor_: close the other Irssi instance ;) | 11:18 |
| wols | HackNewton generally you only want to convert the rpm to tgz via alien and install it. never convert it to a .deb unless you want to break your ubuntu | 11:18 |
| stercor_ | HackNewton: stercor is registered. | 11:18 |
| HackNewton | szal, there is no such | 11:18 |
| stercor_ | szal: There is only one Irssi instance. | 11:18 |
| stercor_ | ikonia: Will do. | 11:19 |
| wols | stercor_: /msg nickserv help see "ghost" for example | 11:19 |
| szal | stercor_: there has to be another if it responds to CTCP queries | 11:19 |
| ikonia | stercor_: ask in #freenode for help | 11:19 |
| HackNewton | wols, thanks i am crystal clear now :D | 11:19 |
| szal | stercor_: ps aux | grep irssi | 11:19 |
| HackNewton | stercor_, if its yours then just login in it | 11:19 |
| szal | stercor_: if you get more than 1 PID for irssi, you do have another running | 11:19 |
| szal | HackNewton: there is no such what? | 11:21 |
| vdemedes | Hello! | 11:22 |
| coz_ | hey | 11:22 |
| vdemedes | My Ubuntu 10.10 became read-only unexpectedly, how to fix it? | 11:22 |
| HackNewton | szal, i mean there is no such special thing to do | 11:22 |
| vdemedes | I tried to reboot, but it does not boot | 11:22 |
| === look is now known as Guest98994 | ||
| vdemedes | just hangs in initramfs | 11:22 |
| HackNewton | szal, just want to know possibility | 11:22 |
| vdemedes | I get console and every line begins with "initramfs>" | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vdemedes: try booting to liveCD and fsck-ing your partitions | 11:23 |
| wols | vdemedes: by running fsck on your / filesystem | 11:23 |
| vdemedes | what should I run exactly? | 11:23 |
| szal | HackNewton: even thinking of that usually implies a (potential) use case ;) | 11:23 |
| vdemedes | fsck with what options? | 11:23 |
| vdemedes | parameters | 11:23 |
| ActionParsnip | vdemedes: man fsck is a good start | 11:23 |
| coz_ | vdemedes, when that initramfs shows up,, did you try typing "exit" after about 5 seconds to see if it boots to the desktop? | 11:24 |
| HackNewton | szal, :) | 11:24 |
| vdemedes | coz_: nope | 11:24 |
| === stercor_ is now known as stercor | ||
| vdemedes | between, if I installed Windows 7 after Ubuntu(still exists) and I want GRUB menu to appear on startup. I should boot into LiveCD and run "sudo update-grub"? | 11:24 |
| szal | vdemedes: usually 'fsck /dev/insertDeviceNodeHere' will do & it'll autodetect the filesystem; if it doesn't, however, you might want to invoke the specific filesystem checker, e.g. 'e2fsck' for ext2/3/4 partitions | 11:25 |
| coz_ | vdemedes, the only reason I ask , is that on my system,, with scsi drives,, it does the exact thing,, I have to type exit then ajust rootdelay in grub | 11:25 |
| HackNewton | vdemedes, it will not work | 11:25 |
| vdemedes | HackNewton: why? what should I do? | 11:25 |
| wols | !tell vdemedes about fixmbr | 11:26 |
| vdemedes | If I want to make Ubuntu and Windows accessible from GRUB menu | 11:26 |
| ubottu | vdemedes, please see my private message | 11:26 |
| HackNewton | vdemedes, because Windows dont like Linux too much so it does not let you to install grub | 11:26 |
| daurnimator | HackNewton: sorry, not finding anything; what data would help you help me? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | HackNewton: that is nonsense | 11:26 |
| HackNewton | ikonia, its true , if not you give reason why big company like MS does not let grub install ? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | HackNewton: Microsoft does not stop grub from being installed | 11:27 |
| coz_ | ^^ | 11:27 |
| vdemedes | wols: thanks! | 11:27 |
| vdemedes | thanks everyone! | 11:28 |
| HackNewton | ikonia, well let it be its long debate | 11:28 |
| ikonia | HackNewton: no it will not. | 11:28 |
| kodez | vdemedes: how did you install your OS? | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | os-prober tool has issues finding the windows installs at times it seems | 11:30 |
| vdemedes | kodez: Windows or Ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| daurnimator | anyone able to help with my digital audio problem? | 11:30 |
| kodez | vdemedes: both. which one did you install first? | 11:30 |
| coz_ | daurnimator, I think that may depend on the issue itself,,, what is going on? | 11:30 |
| daurnimator | coz_: i can't get 5.1 out over HDMI or optical. (steero works) | 11:31 |
| vdemedes | kodez: Ubuntu(usual install), divided HDD into partitions(one for Ubuntu & swap, one for Windows), installed Windows 7 | 11:31 |
| vdemedes | kodez: that's all | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | there are bios-anti-virus setting that can block mbr apps | 11:31 |
| coz_ | daurnimator, ah ok,, have you checked in either or both #alsa and #pulseaudio channels? | 11:31 |
| === jeremy is now known as Guest6135 | ||
| vdemedes | between, I forgot to mention, that filesystem became read-only and no free space | 11:32 |
| daurnimator | coz_: nope; doubt #alsa would help | 11:32 |
| coz_ | vdemedes, oooo | 11:32 |
| coz_ | daurnimator, well they probably can however,, dont hesitate to ask in #pulseaudio,, i would think they have more resources to work with | 11:32 |
| daurnimator | coz_: i've idled in #alsa for a year or so; its mainly about how to code with alsa libraries ;) | 11:33 |
| coz_ | daurnimator, understood | 11:33 |
| vdemedes | ok I'm gone | 11:33 |
| kodez | vdemedes: please install windows first and ubuntu last. this is because windows doesn't recognise any file format except ntfs or fat | 11:33 |
| coz_ | read only and full disk?/ | 11:33 |
| dr_willis | hard disk failure detection. can make them remount read only | 11:34 |

| tiresias | trying to install a canon printer: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/plain-99702 | 11:35 |
| Guest6135 | this dual boot issue has been discussed here before. track the page http://ubuntu.searchonirc.com/?d=2011-07-13-13 | 11:35 |
| tiresias | the libcupsys2 package is needed so i downolad it and then: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/plain-99703 | 11:35 |
| tiresias | any idea? | 11:35 |
| g4 | how can I list currently installed packages from command line. dpkg -l seems to also list formerly installed packages | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | !info libcupssys2 | 11:36 |
| ubottu | Package libcupssys2 does not exist in natty | 11:36 |
| ikonia | g4: no, it lists current packages | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | vDubG__Gone: also only install Windows to a portion onf the space rather than 100% which is default | 11:36 |
| jrib | g4: dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | 11:36 |
| tiresias | ubottu, i now, i downloaded the .deb | 11:36 |
| ubottu | tiresias: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:36 |
| dr_willis | !info libcupsys2 | 11:36 |

| ActionParsnip | vDubG__Gone: wrong target, sorry | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !find cupsys | 11:36 |
| ubottu | Found: cupsys-driver-gutenprint, libcups2, libcups2-dev | 11:36 |
| g4 | jrib: thanks! | 11:36 |
| jrib | g4: if you have aptitude, you can also do: aptitude search '~i' | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | hmm. windwe why a cups lib would not ne included. unless its version specific | 11:37 |
| g4 | jrib: ok, thanks again! | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | ive learned to not buy canon printers for linux machines. ;) | 11:38 |
| Phylock | dr_willis - buy a brother, they have support | 11:38 |
| coz_ | that should be an ongoing "motto" for linux dont buy cannon | 11:38 |
| SwedeMike | you learn always to check support before buying. | 11:39 |
| dr_willis | thats what i got now. | 11:39 |
| tiresias | dr_willis, sure but it's my parents printer ;) | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: or kodak | 11:39 |
| coz_ | HP epson are good | 11:39 |
| coz_ | ActionParsnip, for sure | 11:39 |
| ActionParsnip | coz_: canon is getting better, as are lexmark | 11:39 |
| miber45 | hello | 11:39 |
| === ||ll||ll|| is now known as Tibi77 | ||
| dr_willis | tiresias: that lib seems to be in the repos. | 11:39 |
| SwedeMike | I have a nice story about my oki laserprinster, which had support in windows up to xp, then they stopped developing drivers, so around I stopped running XP on any machine at home and switched to win7, now all of a sudden ubuntu had gained support for it. that was nice. | 11:39 |
| coz_ | tiresias, try sudo apt-get install -f to see if it fixes any of this | 11:39 |
| tiresias | dr_willis, the name changed to libcups2 so maybe is it possible to fix by creating a link? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | unless its some weirdly specicic lib for just that driver | 11:40 |
| szal | ActionParsnip: really? Lexmark used to be an absolute no-go on Linux | 11:40 |
| tiresias | coz_, ok i try | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: yeah they seem to be getting better, still not 64bit though | 11:40 |
| jrib | my old canon worked perfectly, just plugged it in and ubuntu detected it automatically and set it up. It's probably best to check linuxprinting.org on a specific model | 11:40 |
| szal | tiresias: what model exactly? | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | tiresias: that implies the code using the old lib name is well.. old. that guide may be outdated | 11:40 |
| * ActionParsnip sticks to HP | 11:40 | |

| woky | Hello. I'm trying to use VirtualBox in latest Ubuntu. There is currently no vboxdrv driver. There is no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv. virtualbox-ose-dkms in linux-headers-generic are installed. Where's the problem please? | 11:50 |
| codehotter | hello. How do I create a virtual interface on ubuntu? (I do not want to add an ip alias to eth0, I need a seperate virtual interface) | 11:51 |
| iceroot | !upstart | woky | 11:51 |
| ubottu | woky: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 11:51 |
| coz_ | Phylock, I have noticed this occurs with compiz git,, video memory gets filled and things begin to lag big time at leas on a dual monitor system,, blaming the nvidia driver mainly,,, let me check hold on | 11:51 |
| dr_willis | woky: how did you install vbox? | 11:52 |
| coz_ | Phylock, one thing is to open ccsm and check which refresh rate has been assigned | 11:52 |
| woky | So I did 'start vboxdrv' and it says it's unknown job | 11:52 |
| Phylock | coz_ - it is a dualmonitor setup, can i install an older version of compiz? | 11:52 |
| woky | dr_willis: apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-dkms | 11:53 |
| dr_willis | Phylock: ive seen guides on downgradeing compiz | 11:53 |
| shadyzgeek | hey who is ready naw | 11:53 |
| coz_ | Phylock, well, not sure that is going to help,, I would check refresh rate under general options ,, untick "Detect refresh rate" which will enable the refresh rate slider and play with that,, another thing,, is to open ccsm / prreferences and reset to defaults | 11:53 |
| coz_ | Python132o, or in terminal compiz --replace & disown | 11:54 |

| woky | I'm trying to install Oracle10gXE but I ran in strange dependency error. Here are the details: http://pastebin.com/tCZCC91i | 12:13 |
| woky | dpkg thinks 2.13-0ubuntu13 is less than 2.32 | 12:13 |
| woky | dpkg thinks 2.13-0ubuntu13 is less than 2.3.2 | 12:13 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, its just a script that runs an app in other location | 12:13 |
| ParkerR | woky, that cannot be fixed easily | 12:14 |
| Michele | what? | 12:14 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, nop, it still doesnt run | 12:14 |
| woky | ParkerR: why? why --force-* doesnt work? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: was it above the exit 0 line? | 12:14 |
| ParkerR | woky, because tons of packages depend on libc6 so updating it breaks everyting else | 12:14 |
| ParkerR | And you have an unusable system | 12:15 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, yes. MAYBE it has to run after the boot | 12:15 |
| wernerdev | Hey everyone. | 12:15 |
| woky | ParkerR: but the version in Ubuntu is 2.13-0ubuntu13 which is cleary higher than 2.3.2 isn't it ? | 12:15 |
| woky | even --force-all doesn't work :/ | 12:15 |
| wernerdev | I hope someone can give me some quick help with Netatalk 2.2 | 12:15 |
| ParkerR | 2.3.2 > 3.13 afaik | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: yes, the script is called at boot time | 12:16 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, actually that is the only line i have above the exit 0 | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | some apps may require specific versions od libs. ;( | 12:16 |
| ParkerR | *2.13 | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: except the usual comments ;) | 12:16 |
| woky | ParkerR: I don't think so | 12:16 |
| woky | lemme check | 12:16 |
| wernerdev | Anyone running Netatalk 2.2 beta? | 12:16 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, yup except the usual commens | 12:16 |
| MysteriousMan | Question: hi any one know gtkmm here? | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | mman: what does the script do? pastebin your rc.local | 12:17 |
| wols | wernerdev, MysteriousMan: ask your real questions | 12:17 |
| boy_not_heart | khanh2416 | 12:17 |
| boy_not_heart | ngockhanh | 12:17 |
| wernerdev | Thanks to OS X Lion I had to update to Netatalk 2.2 for TimeMachine to work again. | 12:17 |
| mman | dr_willis, it starts tomcat | 12:17 |
| woky | Even if it was higher than current version, why --force-all don't force it ? | 12:17 |
| wernerdev | Update went fine except for that it's slow upon first connection... | 12:18 |
| ikonia | wernerdev: this channels for ubuntu support, we don't support netatalk or mac os here | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | wernerdev: that's Apple for you | 12:18 |
| wernerdev | Well my thought was: Netatalk runs on Ubuntu | 12:18 |
| wernerdev | So maybe there is something known about 2.2 beta 4 | 12:18 |
| dr_willis | mman: it could be its getting ran befor networking is fully up. try a 'sleep 30' above the command in rc.local - no & at the end. to make it wait 30 sec | 12:19 |
| mman | dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/Gx8m6VqJ | 12:19 |
| wernerdev | But I will look somewhere else then... | 12:19 |
| ikonia | wernerdev: it does, but you're not using it on ubuntu , so use the net talk support resources or the apple ones | 12:19 |
| wols | wernerdev: if there is, check the bugtracker | 12:19 |
| wernerdev | Ok | 12:19 |
| wols | ikonia: you sure he isn't running his netatalk on ubuntu? | 12:20 |
| ParkerR | wols, no he said on Mac OS X | 12:20 |
| ikonia | wols: he said he was running it on mac and thanks to lion had to upgrade, that gave me a bit of a clue | 12:20 |
| ikonia | :) | 12:20 |
| wols | netatalk doesn't run on OSX | 12:20 |
| mman | dr_willis, nop, still doesnt work | 12:20 |
| wernerdev | No people, I am running Netatalk on Ubuntu Server :) | 12:21 |
| wernerdev | I'm not that stupid :P | 12:21 |
| ikonia | ??? | 12:21 |
| wols | ikonia: do you know what netatalk is? it lets linux talk to OSX machines. mainly used for time machine. e.g. that OSX time machine can backup onto some ubuntu harddisk storage for example | 12:21 |
| wernerdev | Using it on my Ubuntu NAS server. | 12:21 |
| dr_willis | mman: could be it needs to be ran with different enviroment/path settings, or some other quirk. cd to the dir where the script is at then run it perhaps. | 12:22 |
| ikonia | wols: yeah, it was just the wording | 12:22 |
| ikonia | wernerdev: my apologies if I missunderstood | 12:22 |
| wernerdev | No problem | 12:22 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: I reinstalled the STA driver | 12:22 |
| szal | Miss Understood? ;) | 12:22 |
| mman | dr_willis, still on the rc.local? | 12:22 |
| Deesl | but it still tells me that the interface is disabled by a hardware switch | 12:22 |
| MysteriousMan | how to change the size and the color of label ?? | 12:23 |
| wols | wernerdev: but as you can see, hard to get help for it here. some OSX channel or better yet, netatalk support place is probably best. too specialized a questinn. you could also check the ubuntu bug DB | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | mman: yes. or make it run some other script that does the cd, then sleep thenruns the command.. perhaps log the errors to a file also | 12:23 |
| wols | !tell Deesl about rfkill | 12:23 |
| fulc | hi, i would like to install xen 4 on ubuntu but i do not see it in any repository | 12:23 |
| Plotcitizen__ | Wasup wesside, I iz ere wiv none oder than my main men! | 12:23 |
| Plotcitizen__ | Ubuntu help! | 12:23 |
| kirilos | hello i need some help setting up /etc/fstab for a ntfs partition.i used rw and umask=000 options and i still cant run a .sh file.thans | 12:24 |
| Plotcitizen__ | So tell me, how many windows features are in Ubuntu? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | Plotcitizen__: please try to talk in English | 12:24 |
| wols | Deesl: use rfkill | 12:24 |
| wernerdev | wold: Thanks, I had a quick search but there is no Netatalk channel as far as I know. But thanks. I'll look somewhere else indeed. | 12:24 |
| * szal smells a troll | 12:24 | |
| wols | Plotcitizen__: you want to stop and behave right now. do you have a ubuntu related support question? a real one? | 12:24 |
| Deesl | wols: rfkill does not work with hard blocks | 12:24 |
| Deesl | and szal in case you think this is a troll, I can post screenshots | 12:25 |
| Plotcitizen__ | No, I'm here for an interview. | 12:25 |
| Deesl | oops | 12:25 |
| szal | Deesl: I'm not talking about you | 12:25 |
| * Deesl apologizes | 12:25 | |
| ikonia | Plotcitizen__: this channel is for ubuntu support, if that's not something you need please don't take the channel offtopic | 12:25 |

| Deesl | I am wondering if this is actually a damaged hardware... | 12:26 |
| MysteriousMan | Question : how to change the size and the color of gtkmm label ?? | 12:26 |
| ThinkT510 | fulc: if xen 4 isn't there, there might be a ppa of it somewhere | 12:26 |
| fulc | it's not there :) | 12:26 |
| fulc | i'll try looking for a ppa then | 12:27 |
| fulc | thanks | 12:27 |
| ThinkT510 | np | 12:27 |
| Deesl | but its hard to believe since its just a rfkill switch... :-S | 12:27 |
| Deesl | WTF :( | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: do you dual boot? | 12:27 |
| Lasers | Deesl: I don't think it's a damaged hardware. I think it's just frustration dealing with rfkill / software switch / hardware switch. I went through one myself. | 12:27 |
| mman | dr_willis, didnt work with cd. mmm let me show you what the script does: http://pastebin.com/MxSrVt4t | 12:27 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: no I dont | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | mman: a neat trick i use is to run apps on their own console so i can see error and logs see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/openvt.1.html | 12:28 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: this laptop came with freedos... and I decided to put on Ubuntu | 12:28 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: the only hardware kill switch is the once I can see at the front.. and it controls both WIFI and Bluetooth and since the bluetooth is being detected, the switch is definitely in "ON" state | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | mman: i wonder if theres not some env variables not.set when ran from rc.local | 12:30 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: brcmwl-0 still reports as Hard blocked | 12:30 |
| mman | dr_willis, thats what i also though. Maybe it has to run AFTER boot | 12:30 |
| AdamT_ | Good morning. I need some help with my web server (samba). I entered a new web address into httpd.conf and set the port and everything, but I can't get it to show up in teh browser... any ideas? Is there somewhere else I need to enter information? | 12:31 |
| wols | AdamT_: something is not right. samba is not a webserver for starters | 12:31 |
| Deesl | AdamT_: webserver != samba AFAIK | 12:31 |
| wols | and httpd.conf is pretty much empty last I checked | 12:31 |
| wols | AdamT_: grep -r -i listen /etc/apache2/ | 12:32 |
| dr_willis | mman: rc.local is the last service to start. so with the sleep it is the last... but rynning from rc.local may have differedt path and other settings then the users bash shell does | 12:32 |
| wonderworld | hi i am looking for a tool that can resize batches of images graphically (frontend for imagemagick or something like that) | 12:32 |
| AdamT_ | Yeah, I'm not real sure what I am doing... the person before me set this all up. | 12:32 |
| Deesl | AdamT_: what is that you are trying to achieve? | 12:33 |
| MysteriousMan | Question : how to change the size and the color of gtkmm label ?? | 12:33 |
| kitche | wonderworld: why not just use imagemagick considering that it is a gui program also | 12:33 |
| mman | dr_willis, yup, as you said!! this is what the log says: Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined | 12:33 |
| mman | At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: is this a loaptop? If so what model? | 12:33 |
| AdamT_ | our domain has different sites put up like, it.domain.com, mail.domain.com etc... and I want to add another instance for a new ticketing system I am implementing. | 12:34 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: this is Lenovo B560 | 12:34 |
| wonderworld | kitche: is it, whats the name of the imagemagick gui? | 12:34 |
| wols | AdamT_: then you did it totally wrong. run the command I showed you above | 12:34 |
| AdamT_ | ok one second | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | mman: export them in rc.local i guess. or source whatever sets them first | 12:34 |
| AdamT_ | wols: i got port 80 and 443 | 12:35 |
| dr_willis | bbl | 12:36 |
| wols | !tell AdamT_ about paste | 12:36 |
| ubottu | AdamT_, please see my private message | 12:36 |
| AdamT_ | I'm not real sure how to copy the text... its all terminal and virtual | 12:37 |

| [tla] | hi. failed natty upgrade. trying to install openssh-server and get "no instrallation candidate". apt-get update runs ok. ideas? | 12:39 |
| Phylock | coz_ - Thanks a lot, it solved my problem. Switched from "mouse" driver to "evdev" in xorg and no more lagging. | 12:39 |
| Deesl | okay.. but is b43 not supported on 4313? | 12:39 |
| bazhang | phper_, see the eolupgrades link | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: sure | 12:39 |
| coz_ | Phylock, excellent :) | 12:39 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: you still want me to install fwcutter? | 12:39 |

| tristan3199us | can i add transparancy to the panel slide down menus?? | 12:40 |
| [tla] | wols: ok, i can run that. what am i looking for? | 12:40 |
| newb | im trying to use gparted to resize a partion, but I am getting an error msg | 12:41 |
| wols | [tla]: for the whole output | 12:41 |
| tristan3199us | im using natty narwhal | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | newb: is the partition mount which you are trying to resize? | 12:41 |
| ThinkT510 | newb: are you resizing a partition you are currently using (mounted) | 12:41 |
| szal | newb: what error msg? | 12:41 |
| newb | The partition could not be unmounted from the following mount points: | 12:42 |
| szal | ActionParsnip, ThinkT510: don't guess & ask proper evidence before giving advice :) | 12:42 |
| faLUCE | hi, do you know if is there a text editor in which I can insert words in real time through a script ? | 12:42 |
| newb | It is not my main had drive | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | newb: i suggest you resize in the livecd, be sure the data you need is backed up in case of catastrophe | 12:43 |
| tristan3199us | im just looking to add a basic compiz setting i bet, i want my panels to have 40 percent transparancy... anybody able to help??? | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: true, but 9 times in 10 its the cause | 12:43 |
| iceroot | faLUCE: why not using "cat filename >> file-to-add" | 12:43 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: did you see my last message? | 12:43 |
| skrmm | I've added upstart job which starts executing my simple script for recording audio(arecord) in infinite loop, but first iteration of the loop gives me broken file. In boot loog I see this ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' | 12:43 |
| newb | but how do i do it with gparted | 12:44 |
| [tla] | wols: all the output is pointing at natty releases but lsb_release -a reports maverick still. is it because it thinks it is still running maverick so will not use the natty repos? | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: I can't see it, sorry | 12:44 |
| AdamT_ | wols: where should the config be for the web addresses if not in httpd.conf | 12:44 |
| faLUCE | iceroot: because I want some more complex scripting, like: insert at a specific linenumber, move cursor etc. | 12:44 |
| szal | newb: again, use a live CD | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | newb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition | 12:44 |
| [tla] | wols: i am on a serial console so can't paste apt-cache output | 12:44 |
| wols | AdamT_: /etc/apache2/sites-available/ normally. has NOTHING to do with an IP or Port at all. and man a2ensite to enable the site(s) | 12:44 |
| elzoog | I am having trouble installing the game Braid. Can anyone help? | 12:45 |
| tristan3199us | newb.. what are you trying to accomplish.. a duel boot.. just a storage partition.. ? | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | newb: same method, just in liveCD | 12:45 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: I asked, considering this is a BCM4313 which is not supported by b43, will b43-fw-cutter be of any use? | 12:45 |
| iceroot | faLUCE: vim, emacs, sed | 12:45 |
| kitche | wonderworld: sorry about that try display to see if that works | 12:45 |
| iceroot | faLUCE: all of them can do that | 12:45 |
| wols | [tla]: you need a natty main repository | 12:45 |
| dmdevotee | hi. i have ubuntu 11.04. i installed the package "startupmanager" to manage the boot of the installed OS, but the changes made are not applied. anybody haves a idea about what happens? | 12:45 |
| newb | I copied my hard drive to a bigger hard drive, now there is unallocated space hence I want to resize the new harddrive | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: seems to be supported by STA | 12:45 |
| phper_ | I don't understand, how do I upgrade my 8.04 ubuntu, what command I run? | 12:45 |
| iceroot | !eol | phper_ | 12:46 |
| ubottu | phper_: 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 | 12:46 |
| wols | newb: boot from a LiveCD and resize from there | 12:46 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: yes it is... | 12:46 |
| iceroot | phper_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 12:46 |
| tristan3199us | dmdevotee: isnt startupmanager to let you choose what programs start in ubuntu??? thats not your grub.. | 12:46 |
| tristan3199us | right | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source; sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl; sudo modprobe wl | 12:46 |
| Deesl | strangely, another B560 works perfectly... | 12:46 |
| Deesl | just this one | 12:46 |
| wols | phper_: you can upgrade to 10.04 I guess | 12:46 |
| newb | but I am now booting from my old hard drive so the new one is extra at the moment so it shoulddt be a problem | 12:46 |
| Pici | iceroot, phper_: 8.04 is still supported on the server, so update-manager and do-release-upgrade should work just fine to upgrade to 10.04. | 12:46 |
| wols | newb: then unmount it and do it | 12:47 |
| phper_ | newbie why I can't upgrade to 11.04? | 12:47 |
| newb | how to unmount | 12:47 |
| tristan3199us | can anyone tell me how to add a transparency to my ubuntu 11.04 panels??? | 12:47 |
| [tla] | wols: i have 4 * natty/main lines for amd64. 2 have the en_GB translation and the line starts with "500". The other two start with "-10" | 12:47 |
| newb | in the termina; | 12:47 |
| dmdevotee | tristan3199us i don't understand what are you saying. i only know that in ubuntu 10.10 worked | 12:47 |
| iceroot | Pici: ah yes, they didnt move the 8.04 repo yet because of the server-edition. thanks for the hint | 12:47 |
| wols | phper_: cause you can't leave out in between versions. your 8.04 is a LTS so you can upgrade to 10.04 LTS and from there to 10.10 and from there then finally to 11.04 | 12:47 |
| tristan3199us | i have natty narwhal.. | 12:47 |
| tristan3199us | what ever number that is.. | 12:47 |
| szal | phper_: because that's not supported as in 1 step; what is supported is 8.04 -> 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04, and in that case a reinstall is faster | 12:47 |
| tristan3199us | wols: ? | 12:47 |
| wols | tristan3199us: no I cannot. and natty is 11.04 | 12:48 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: still nothing... it still says disabled by hardware switch | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | phper_: reinstall will give a cleaner OS too | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: is there a key shortcut to press and enable the device? | 12:48 |
| dmdevotee | tristan3199us i only want to windows start at first option. is there any software that works in ubuntu 11.04 to manage grub=? | 12:48 |
| phper_ | newbie ok, I am new at upgrading, what is the command I need to input in my terminal to upgrade to 10.04? | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: have you rebooted since installing the driver? | 12:48 |
| mang0 | once I've sudo su 'd in terminal, how do I get out of root? (without shutting terminal) | 12:48 |
| Pici | mang0: exit or ctrl-d | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Deesl: you may want to blacklist b43 and ssb | 12:49 |
| mang0 | Pici: ctrl-d did it tahnkyou | 12:49 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: yes there.. is and that is enabled as well... I believe the key shortcut is a software block and it is toggling correctly as reported by rfkill | 12:49 |
| wols | dmdevotee: edit /etc/default/grub. there you can select which one to start by default. after that, run update-grub | 12:49 |
| newb | how do i unmount | 12:49 |
| Nebz | Can/will someone help a noob manually nvidia drivers on 11.04 that I downloaded from nvidia's website? =/ | 12:49 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: the laptop has been rebooted and b43 and ssb is not even loading | 12:49 |
| wols | newb: umount <mountpoint> | 12:49 |
| Nebz | *install | 12:49 |
| [tla] | wols: do those lines sound ok? | 12:50 |
| ThinkT510 | Nebz: why aren't you using the nvidia driver in ubuntu? | 12:50 |
| szal | phper_: did you actually bother to read the webpage we've been giving you? | 12:50 |
| wols | tlyu: useless information since not enough given | 12:50 |
| Nebz | I am, but apt-get won't pull the latest | 12:50 |
| newb | how do i find the mountpoint | 12:50 |
| Nebz | Even after I added the nvidia repo | 12:50 |
| wols | newb: "mount" | 12:50 |
| dmdevotee | wols, is there any software to do this? | 12:50 |
| phper_ | szal: I am trying, but I don't get it very well | 12:50 |
| wols | dmdevotee: yes. a text editor | 12:51 |
| Slart | Nebz: Ctrl+Alt+F1, log in, sudo sh /whever/you/put/it/NVIDIAblablabla clicketiclicketi.. reboot and you're done | 12:51 |
| dmdevotee | i mean any software like startupmanager | 12:51 |
| Nebz | thx Slart!! | 12:51 |
| Slart | Nebz: oh, you might want to uninstall the nvidia driver from the repos first | 12:51 |
| Nebz | Hmm, ok. | 12:51 |
| Nebz | From terminal I suppose? | 12:52 |
| salat | hey i have a 265ram pc. do i have to consider something or can i just plug some more ram in the ram free ram slots? | 12:52 |

| wols | AdamT_: no. I told you you need to add the config file for the new site apache needs to serve pages for | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | dmdevotee: is it for a graphical desktop? | 13:02 |
| dmdevotee | jrib but i don't want to edit files, i want a software to do it easily | 13:03 |
| dmdevotee | actionparsnip it is ubuntu 11.04 desktop | 13:03 |
| wols | dmdevotee: then you either write it yourself or you pay someone to do so | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dmdevotee: all that app does is make normal .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dmdevotee: works in ANY DE | 13:04 |
| jrib | dmdevotee: I see. I don't know of such a program. But /etc/default/grub provides an option per line; I don't really see how a gui could make it any simpler | 13:04 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: he's talking about grub default selection (so far), nothing about autostart. he must be confused | 13:04 |

| jvgeli | I am using mavericks default kernel 2.6.35 but i am using and AMD Fusion APU. I've read that fusion only has support on the .38 kernel version. Am I missing alot? or should I upgrade even if kernel .38 is giving me issues? | 13:04 |
| AdamT_ | wols: I think this is set up differently then you are thinking. there are not config files in sites-available | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dmdevotee: what do you want to edit? | 13:04 |
| bazhang | jvgeli, thought you were using natty with oneiric kernel | 13:05 |

| oCean | AdamT_: there should be. That is the directory for the definition of your vhosts | 13:05 |
| AdamT_ | Yes | 13:05 |

I dont get these things on Maverick. I just upgraded to Natty as they say that Fusion is only supported by kernel .38 | 13:08 |
| wols | AdamT_: whoever managed your apache2 before is a moron and didn't set up vhosts the way he should have. so your first order is to find out how he mangled it (that is if default and default-ssl are the only entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available/) | 13:08 |
| szal | LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: tried to fsck the stick? | 13:08 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: interesting stuff, I just pulled out the hard disk from a working B560 and put it in this one.. and guess what, wireless stopped working | 13:08 |
| wols | AdamT_: however, I doubt you can competently manage the server before learning quite a bit | 13:09 |
| Deesl | so.. there is nothing wrong with the installation... | 13:09 |
| Deesl | the OS installation I mean | 13:09 |
| jvgeli | bazhang: kernel .38 has more issues than kernel .35 i think. | 13:09 |

| Deesl | now why the hardwre switch is not working is the question... | 13:09 |
| Deesl | wols: rfkill unblock all and rfkill unblock id | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: you will never lose data as you will have a backup of your important stuff, right? | 13:09 |
| Deesl | but afaik, rfkill does not matter hardware blocks | 13:10 |
| wols | LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_: you might, but if you do, the data was corrupted in the first place. do a backup if you can beforehand | 13:10 |
| AdamT_ | wols: those are the only 2 files in sites-available. Inside the httpd.conf file there is the definition of each site with the servername and document root using <virtualhost *80> | 13:10 |
| Deesl | unless I am going completely wrong... | 13:10 |
| AdamT_ | thats why i believed that was where i should put it | 13:10 |
| Deesl | am I right is assuming rfkill does not matter for hardware blocks? | 13:10 |
| wols | AdamT_: ok, he mismanaged your server :( | 13:10 |
| LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd_ | ActionParsnip: right... nope! | 13:10 |

| wdp | Hey. I haven't used Ubuntu before, so I'm not sure whether that is normal behaviour; I'm used to source-based linux distributions and I'm using linux for more than 14 years (I just want to point out, that I'm not an unexperienced user, so also "difficult" aproaches might be helpful to me). I just compared a plain Ubuntu installation with Lunar's. In X11 when I move the mouse very fast my lunar gives me at maximum a cpu usage of 8% for XOrg (no nautilus t | 13:22 |
| wdp | here, xfce4). The Ubuntu gives me 20% cpu usage for XOrg and 20% cpu usage for nautilus (gnome). I did some things to the Ubuntu Install (putting /tmp to tmpfs, replacing getty with fgetty, setting noatime for the partitions except for home, where i use relatime, such stuff) and the cpu usage went down to 11% for XOrg and 11% for nautilus. | 13:22 |
| aetas | wols: is this just to turn on his wifi card? | 13:22 |
| wols | Deesl: it sucks but that's ACPI for you | 13:22 |
| ActionParsnip | wdp: which video chip are you using? | 13:22 |
| Deesl | so I need to *get* a copy of windows :D | 13:22 |
| wdp | As far as i know, this shouldn't happen. That usage should be between 1 and 10% at most. Also I'm wondering why it's happening for "nautilus" also, that's just a file browser, why is it getting a load when i move the mouse? | 13:23 |
| wdp | ActionParsnip, plain install, ATI KMS i guess. | 13:23 |
| dr_willis | i have had wireless switches turn off in linux. but i had to boot to windows to turn wireless back on.. i think a later update fixed that quirk for that laptop. i just never ever.. use that switch ;) | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | wdp: nautilus also draws the desktop icons, its not just a file browser | 13:23 |
| wdp | ActionParsnip, i checked glxinfo | grep render - it's not Software Rasterizing. | 13:23 |
| wols | wdp: makes no sense. if you move your cursor and it causes load it's most probably X or one of its drivers (e.g. 3D driver needing lots of CPU) | 13:23 |
| tomek_ | I need antivirus software for linux . Any recommendations ? | 13:23 |
| szal | wdp: custom build vs. generic build, I guess | 13:23 |

| renaldocreative | tomek try CLAMAV | 13:24 |
| wdp | i see. | 13:24 |
| mman | is there a way to "test" the rc.local without rebooting the server? | 13:24 |
| szal | wols: well, 8% vs 11% is not that much of a difference, if you ask me | 13:24 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: I uninstall firefox, and epiphany installs, I uninsatall epiphany and firefox installs ;__; | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | tomek_: why do you need it.. | 13:24 |
| tomek_ | for security purposes | 13:24 |
| dr_willis | tomek_: you do relize its jusg going to scan files for windows viruses.. | 13:25 |
| renaldocreative | tomek you don't have to worry about viruses, adware, etc | 13:25 |
| wdp | szal, depends. Those 11% alone would be okay, but i get 11% for nautilus and 11% for XOrg - means 22% of the cpu are used just for moving the mouse. | 13:25 |
| tomek_ | yes, windows | 13:25 |
| mman | tomek_, i use mcafee command line, good in my eyes | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | and do little for 'security' theres several av tools for linux, clamav is in the repos | 13:25 |
| wdp | However; Is there something i could do, to improve that? Are there alternatives for nautilus? Would using a propritary driver fix that issue? | 13:25 |
| wols | szal: 8% is too high from the start imho | 13:25 |
| dr_willis | there are av live cds out there also. | 13:26 |
| wols | szal: and this was after doing some shit that has no real bearing on the mousepointer too | 13:26 |
| mang0 | Deesl: I have some copies of legit windows if you want one...very, very old though haha | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: uninstall both at the same time | 13:26 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: how? | 13:26 |
| alazare619 | aetas, got it samba wasnt installed in synaptic reinstalled and found the icon thanks | 13:26 |
| wols | tomek_: you don't need AV software | 13:26 |
| Murdock | Hi all | 13:26 |
| mang0 | sudo apt-get remove epiphany, firefox? | 13:26 |
| aetas | alazare619, np, glad you got it working | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mang0: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox epiphany-browser; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 13:26 |
| wols | mang0: XP is still usable for what he needs to do | 13:27 |
| === engrid is now known as sundar | ||
| dr_willis | Deesl: windows has some legit/legal free rescue isos you can get also. but not sure about drivers for wireless in them. | 13:27 |
| howlymowly | hi poeple.. short question: since yesterday or so I always get a message: WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed! when using aptitude I also can not use the "software-center" anymore | 13:27 |
| mang0 | wols: k | 13:27 |
| alazare619 | aetas, had me stumped tho why the hell isnt samba installed by default in xubuntu or any xfce distro now? | 13:27 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: k | 13:27 |
| howlymowly | any idea what hapened? | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | howlymowly: can you give a pastebin of the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade (close software centre etc first) | 13:27 |
| dr_willis | alazare619: its not default in ubuntu either. | 13:27 |
| wdp | ActionParsnip, or any idea how to debug what's causing that? | 13:27 |
| mien | is there any way to boot the live cd with raid support? | 13:27 |
| === engrid is now known as sundar | ||
| aetas | alazare619, not everyone uses it. actually I very rarely use it | 13:28 |
| alazare619 | dr_willis, it use to have the shared folders icon tho that would install it thats missing too | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | wdp: not sure, seems a bit weird, it the RAM healthy? | 13:28 |
| wdp | yep. | 13:28 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: It's still not working. Now it wants to uninstall epiphany, not install firefox, but install 200mb of other stuff I don't want | 13:28 |
| wols | mien: there must be or you couldn't have installed onto your raid | 13:28 |
| szal | wols: I have X running at somewhere between 7 and 10%, occasionally spiking to 15%, and moving the mouse pointer in circles doesn't do much to increase that (5% at worst) | 13:28 |
| mien | wols, thats right, do u know how i can do it too? :) | 13:28 |
| dr_willis | alazare619: i can access windows sharew without it.. and if i set up a share it asks to install samba | 13:29 |
| wols | mang0: is there any reason you can't just install ffox and remove epiphany afterwards? | 13:29 |
| szal | wols: and that is after 5 days of uptime | 13:29 |
| wols | mien: since I don't use a raid, n :) | 13:29 |
| mang0 | wols: I don't want firefox | 13:29 |
| mang0 | or epiphany | 13:29 |
| wdp | szal, see, here it's differently. X idle is 0-1% cpu. Moving the mouse is nautilus 11-25% and XOrg 11-20% :) | 13:29 |
| aetas | mien: software or hardware raid? | 13:29 |
| wols | wdp: gnome/unity? | 13:29 |
| wdp | i just installed ubuntu LTS | 13:29 |
| wdp | and did an update. i guess unity is not installed. | 13:30 |
| wdp | just gnome. | 13:30 |
| mien | aetas, software | 13:30 |
| * szal blames Gnome | 13:30 | |
| alazare619 | at login screen you can make it so you dont load unity by choosing gnome classic wdp | 13:30 |
| mien | aetas, i would like be able to mount /dev/md0 | 13:30 |
| wols | mang0: show us the exact output of your command or it's not possible to help you (imho). and chances are you must have some browser or other installed due to dependencies. and no opera doesn't count since it's not a properly made .deb | 13:30 |
| mang0 | wols: I installed opera from a .deb | 13:31 |
| aetas | mien, this is linux kernel software raid or what? | 13:31 |
| mang0 | but okay, I'll pastebin | 13:31 |
| wols | wdp: my suggestion is to use a light environment without any 3D rendering or such | 13:31 |
| wdp | alazare619, there just gnome and gnome (secure mode or something, got it translation) | 13:31 |
| wols | mang0: read what I wrote | 13:31 |
| wdp | s/there/there's | 13:31 |
| mang0 | wols: ah | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | wdp: http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ | 13:32 |
| mien | aetas, what i want is to have /dev/md devices recognized, i dont know much about raid... | 13:32 |
| wols | mang0: is your diskspace really so precious that you need to save the 10MB or so ffox/epiphany uses? | 13:32 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: I doubt he wants to | 13:32 |
| wdp | wols, mhm. Yeah. guessed so. I was just hopeing that anyone here would have an idea how to configure nautilus differently for example. Like not updating the desktop in realtime or something. | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: why? | 13:32 |
| aetas | mien, Im basically asking what you used to set the raid up | 13:32 |
| wols | ActionParsnip: read the log | 13:32 |
| alazare619 | wdp, odd you could install xfce desktop enviorment that doesnt have unity then remove gnome then no more unity, unity hates my pc for some odd reason | 13:32 |
| wdp | alazare619, heh. Thanks so far :) | 13:33 |
| aetas | mien, see if this helps at all http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/14 | 13:33 |
| mien | aetas, default presets for raid 1 in the ubuntu installation | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: I'm not following you | 13:33 |
| mang0 | wols: well not really, but I'd rather not have them. Just annoying. Lol. http://pastebin.com/2Mcan6Kq ActionParsnip <---- | 13:33 |
| aetas | mien, ok yeah, try the directions on that website. it obviously detected it since it has the device | 13:33 |
| wols | wdp: experiment: use a very basic driver (VESA?) and see if the same happens. imho it's probably something like transparency or such that fscks up. you know, the "fancy stuff" | 13:33 |
| wdp | ActionParsnip, people report, that "removing" unity would help in my case, as unity is not even installed, installing it would cause the opposite effect. | 13:33 |
| wdp | ActionParsnip, thats, what he means. | 13:34 |
| alazare619 | wdp, what kind of graphics card are you running by chance? | 13:34 |
| wdp | some odd onboard ati graphiccard. just a sec. | 13:34 |
| mien | aetas, thx alot! exactly what i was looking for | 13:34 |
| aetas | wdp, is this one of the shared ram onboard cards like laptops have? | 13:34 |
| aetas | mien, np, it work? | 13:34 |
| Joupi | mang0, As ActionParsnip wrote, you need a browser which is a proper .deb | 13:35 |
| wdp | aetas, yeah. i can add ram in the bios. currently its set to auto (32mb) | 13:35 |
| mien | aetas, soon we will se :) | 13:35 |
| wdp | lemme guess, that's causing it? :) | 13:35 |
| wols | mang0: or you fake one via equivs | 13:35 |
| Joupi | in this case it wants to install konqueror ;-) | 13:35 |
| mang0 | wols: ? | 13:35 |
| * wdp forgot about that. | 13:35 | |
| mang0 | Joupi: bother. | 13:35 |
| alazare619 | wdp, ok what wols said is kidna right expecept afaik vesa is just for intel have you tried applications > sstem > hard ware drivers ? and installed the proprietary ati drivers for your card? | 13:35 |
| wols | mang0: apt-cache show equivs | 13:35 |
| mang0 | k | 13:35 |
| zerium1 | having some issues with Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and php's ftp package... ftp_nlist is simply not working | 13:35 |
| wdp | alazare619, vesa is for nearly every graphiccard :) | 13:35 |
| aetas | wdp, those aren't full graphics cards since they share the ram. if you throw 3d effects at them they usually cause higher cpu/mem usage than fully hardware ones | 13:35 |
| wols | zerium1: does a normal ftp client work? | 13:36 |
| zerium1 | wols: yes and so does php from my mac | 13:36 |
| wdp | aetas, i disabled effects; and i dont think theres a lot 3d needed to draw a moving mouse cursor. or? | 13:36 |
| zerium1 | same code, same connection | 13:36 |
| Krenair | Can you upgrade kernel 2.6.32-33-generic to 3 on Ubuntu 10.04? | 13:36 |
| alazare619 | wdp hmm i havent read about vesa in awhile | 13:36 |
| zerium1 | i thought it was that my tmpdir wasn't set but I set it in my path and still not working | 13:36 |
| aetas | wdp, was this always this way or did it start at some point? | 13:36 |
| wols | wdp: normally mouse cursors are hardware cursors (even on IGPs), but maybe it chose a software cursor for some reason? | 13:36 |
| moreno_ | Murdock | 13:37 |
| Anthony__ | Hello everyone. Can someone help me create a new database | 13:37 |
| Murdock | hi moreno | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: yes but we cannot support you then as you will be using a 3rd party kernel | 13:37 |
| wols | Krenair: what for? | 13:37 |
| aetas | Anthony_, care to be a bit more specific? | 13:37 |
| szal | Krenair: there's not even a stable release of kernel 3.0 yet | 13:37 |
| Krenair | ActionParsnip, 3rd party kernel...? | 13:37 |
| wdp | aetas, i never used ubuntu before; so i can just compare with different distributions. On those i never used gnome, so i can only compare with xfce4. And thus.. all my comparisations are somehow fail. However; this is a "fresh" install of ubuntu LTS. Downloaded the iso today, installed today. Updated today. | 13:37 |
| Krenair | szal: https://plus.google.com/102150693225130002912/posts | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: there is a kernel ppa, use it at your own risk. I suggest you simply wait for oneiric to be released and use that (or use the alpha 2) | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: yes, not maintained by the ubuntu team | 13:38 |
| wols | Krenair: basically, anything but the ubuntu made kernels is unsupported. including using a kernel from a different ubuntu version, tho there are reasons why this sometimes is needed. what is your reason for kernel 3.0? | 13:38 |
| wols | Krenair: there might be a solution for your problem without changing kernels | 13:38 |
| Krenair | ActionParsnip, Linux is not maintained by the ubuntu team | 13:38 |
| aetas | wdp, ok that helps. hrmm...lemme think if there's something else to try | 13:38 |
| Krenair | wols: I do not have a problem, I want to try out the latest kernel version. | 13:38 |
| szal | Krenair: that's (1) upstream and (2) 11 hours ago; last package I saw was 3.0-rc7 | 13:38 |
| Anthony__ | aetas: I need to create a new database on our server, for a ticketing system i am installing | 13:38 |
| wdp | aetas, i can provide additional information if useful. like lspci, glxinfo, xorg log. dmesg. | 13:39 |
| wols | Krenair: ah, SNS syndrome then | 13:39 |
| Krenair | wols, SNS syndrome? | 13:39 |
| wasanzy | hi all, I have a mod_perl web site running on centos, and I want to migrate the site to Ubuntu, but in centos the site directory is in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/ | 13:39 |
| Krenair | szal: 3.0-rc7 is a release candidate | 13:39 |
| Krenair | I am talking about 3.0 | 13:39 |
| dyd | when i open an mp3 i can use the slide to move forward/backward... | 13:39 |
| moreno_ | hi | 13:39 |
| wols | Krenair: <dpkg> Shiny New Shit Syndrome is a serious disorder, which usually breaks out into an epidemic every time something new is released. If you have SNS, ask me about <backports> and <ssb>; these are better options than upgrading to <testing> because it is a <moving target>. | 13:39 |
| moreno_ | somebody help me? | 13:39 |
| dyd | using totem movie player | 13:39 |
| wols | !tell moreno_ about ask | 13:39 |
| ubottu | moreno_, please see my private message | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Krenair: yes but the kernel tried and tested for the release is packaged by the ubuntu teams, if people start using kernels not ntended for their release then they are on their own | 13:39 |
| Murdock | Excuse me what Can I use ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| zerium1 | wols: any idea? | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Murdock: your question doesn't make sense | 13:40 |
| wols | Murdock: please rephrase your question | 13:40 |
| coz_ | Murdock, can you explain that differently? I am not sure I understand | 13:40 |

| pauldutot71_ | hello All, | 13:40 |
| wols | zerium1: no. but a strong suggestion: stop using ftp. it's evil. | 13:40 |
| aetas | wdp, I know you can change the mouse poll interval and also if the polling rate is set high it will start sucking up cpu. on vanilla ubuntu this is changed in CompizConfig Settings Manager but I'm not sure on there | 13:40 |
| moreno_ | I can hack alien starship whit ubuntu? | 13:40 |
| zerium1 | wols: if i had that option i would... clients | 13:40 |
| wasanzy | I don't have that directory in my ubuntu, so my question is, under which directory does mod_perl sites resides? the site is written in pure mod_perl not cgi | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | moreno_: sure | 13:40 |
| bazhang | moreno_, no | 13:40 |
| moreno_ | D': | 13:41 |
| moreno_ | Why? | 13:41 |
| wols | moreno_: no. only macs can do that. now stop trolling and ask your real question if you have one | 13:41 |
| aetas | wdp, that likely isnt going to be the root cause but it may alleviate some of the symptoms while you find the problem | 13:41 |
| wdp | aetas, hm. yeah. i know how to change the polling rate at the boot loader. as its an usb mouse. | 13:41 |
| jambrong | gabungnya gmn? | 13:41 |
| wdp | might be a try worth. | 13:41 |
| wols | zerium1: sftp ftw | 13:41 |
| zerium1 | wols: yeah gotta connect to this shitty windows box | 13:41 |
| Anthony__ | aetas: i just want to create a new database for a ticketing system I am installing | 13:41 |
| wols | wasanzy: under /var/www like any other website | 13:41 |
| oCean | Anthony__: your 9.10 ubuntu version is no longer supported | 13:42 |

| alazare619 | ok afaik my samba shares are all up and going now can someone point me in the right directory for a nice gui for a easy ftp server gadmin suites hate me | 13:42 |
| shomon | might be good not to keep it in var/www so as to confuse the script kiddies | 13:42 |
| aetas | wdp, whats the general load on the system right now? I know if you have no other apps running, it will let X suck up more especially if the poll rate is higher | 13:42 |
| aetas | Anthony_, that doesn't help man, there's many different database systems | 13:42 |
| Murdock | Where Can I find a guide for ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| wdp | aetas, second, im collecting infos. | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !manual | 13:43 |

| ubottu | Murdock, please see my private message | 13:43 |
| aetas | Anthony_, is mysql server installed? | 13:43 |
| oCean | Anthony__: you have to upgrade first | 13:43 |
| Anthony__ | aetas: yes | 13:43 |
| wasanzy | wols: I know in centos, the documentroot is /var/www/html/ but still, that was not the path mod_perl was using, is it not some kind of special directory for perl? | 13:43 |
| wasanzy | just asking though | 13:43 |
| Murdock | Who is ubottu? | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !ubottu | Murdock | 13:43 |

| aetas | wasanzy, perl doesnt have a special directory, although people will use cgi-bins usually | 13:45 |
| wols | aetas: mod-perl too? | 13:45 |
| Tweaky | hi. i seem to have lost the volume control speaker icon in the unity top bar.. any ideas how i can get this back? | 13:46 |
| wasanzy | ok, but am using mod_perl not cgi | 13:47 |
| bazhang | Tweaky, what about installing indicator-applet-complete | 13:47 |
| aetas | you just have to make sure you configure it correctly | 13:47 |
| aetas | what are you trying to do? | 13:47 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi, I have a weird problem, my cdrom was working fine previously, but lately, when I put a cd in, after sometime it just ejects...can someone help me diagnose what the problem might be ? I have an optical drive | 13:47 |
| wasanzy | ok | 13:47 |
| Tweaky | bazhang: it is already installed | 13:48 |
| bazhang | Tweaky, what about re-adding it | 13:48 |
| Janusman | I'm about to migrate to a new machine, and I have already done sudo dpkg –get-selections > installedsoftware ... but some of those packages are from different repositories than what /etc/apt/sources.list say. Should I just copy over /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?? | 13:49 |
| Tweaky | bazhang: im not very framiliar with unity.. how can i do this? | 13:49 |
| dhruvasagar | anybody ? | 13:50 |

| thrillERboy | Hi, Guys I installed ubuntu with wubi, now when I enter ubuntu from the boot menu, I see an error message: No WUBILDR and then grub prompt appears, I have some important files inside ubuntu. Please help. | 13:55 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, they're not gone so calm down ;) | 13:56 |
| thrillERboy | :) | 13:57 |
| * thrillERboy is worried | 13:57 | |
| wdp_buntu | aetas, i'll try a bit around. im sure something of the stuff will help. I'll let you know if i was able to solve the issue. | 13:57 |
| thrillERboy | First thing I'll do after getting ubuntu back up, is installing Dejavu :D | 13:57 |
| alazare619 | can someone point me in the right directory for a nice gui for a easy ftp server gadmin suites hate me | 13:58 |
| alazare619 | direction not directory | 13:58 |
| aetas | wdp_buntu, cool, Im interested to see what helps | 13:58 |
| MrUnagi | whats the easiest way to transfer a mail server from os x to ubuntu | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | thrillERboy: it is possible to mount the wubi disk file and access things in it. from a live cd. i dont use or reccomend wubi at all. | 13:59 |
| wdp | alazare619, ftp SERVER or CLIENT? just to make sure | 13:59 |
| alazare619 | server wdp | 13:59 |
| alazare619 | ive tried proftpd with gadmin gui but i could not get it running right | 13:59 |
| wdp | no idea about gui there; i'm using pure-ftpd and proftpd, they're quite nice and easy to configure, without gui. | 13:59 |
| wdp | maybe take a look at pure-ftpd's documentation. | 14:00 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, did you just install this or is it an old install? | 14:00 |
| thrillERboy | dr_willis: I don't have a live cd now. I can I burn one now? | 14:00 |
| alazare619 | ill check them out without the gui i just dont want to have to hand edit 10k .config files you know :P | 14:00 |
| dyd | guys i have an empty 250 hd that is all unallocated | 14:01 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: I've using this with ubuntu and win7 for like 3 months | 14:01 |
| dyd | what should i do in order to use it to store data? | 14:01 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: I did a bad shut down today and now the grub menu appears :( | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | thrillERboy: you can make them with windows . yes. | 14:01 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, probably trashed the filesystem | 14:01 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: you mean all files are gone?? :/ | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | dyd: partition it, format it, mount it.. | 14:01 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, do you have a rescue cd / live cd? | 14:01 |
| aetas | no, it means its unclean although its possible you could have done damage but not that likely | 14:02 |

| alazare619 | dyd, if its for storage ext3 or 4 if its a main drive i prefer ext2 as its quicker and has less redundancy and writes to the drive but thats just my personal prefrence | 14:03 |
| thrillERboy | thanks aetas. I'm buring cd now :) | 14:03 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, so does windows still boot? | 14:03 |
| dyd | alazare619: since it's for storage i'll use ext4, thank you | 14:04 |
| dyd | dr_willis: thank you | 14:04 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: yes, I can boot inside win7 | 14:04 |

| aetas | thrillERboy, do you still have your ubuntu and wubildr directories in the windows partition? | 14:06 |
| wdp | aetas, could you do me a favour? please check with top what xorg and nautilus do when you do nothing (cpu usage) using gnome terminal. then move the mouse very fast, what cpu usage do you get for xorg and nautilus? Then stop top and type in xterm -ls & then exit and in the opened xterm do top again and move the mouse again, what cpu load for nautilus and xorg? | 14:07 |

| cdavis | Hello, in Natty my trash is showing empty even though I see files in ~/.share/local/Trash/files | 14:13 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: I can't understand your questions, sorry :) I'm inside windows now. To burn Ubuntu CD | 14:14 |
| nyuszika7h | cdavis: Hi, are they hidden files? | 14:14 |
| Deesl | ActionParsnip: further updates... the wireless card does not work in Windows 7 as well | 14:14 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, how do you start ubuntu normally? | 14:14 |
| Deesl | so... bad hardware... unanimously accepted now? | 14:14 |
| cdavis | nyuszika7h: no, they are not | 14:14 |
| arkanabar | aetas, a moment. thrillERboy , are you wanting to install Ubuntu to its own partition? | 14:15 |
| aetas | hes burning a rescue cd | 14:15 |
| aetas | so he can get his files mainly | 14:15 |
| aetas | although he probably should install it on its own | 14:16 |
| Oxymoron | Hi, I wondering. How do I get HDMI output working. It seems like my TV get some kind of signal, but its just black on the screen. | 14:16 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: Normally window boot menu appears, I'll select ubuntu in it, then grub boot menu will appear, now when I select Ubuntu only grub CLI appears. I guess kernal is not loaded. | 14:16 |
| JakeBwell | Hey people occasionally when running an application my task bar gets stuck in view even when I have a maximised browser it stay in screen blocking the view of the browser | 14:16 |
| JakeBwell | running ubuntu 11.04 | 14:16 |
| JakeBwell | any ideas | 14:16 |
| thrillERboy | arkanabar: I would like that, but I have only one partition now, I have tonnes of files to backup inside windows and ubuntu :( | 14:17 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, I don't understand why it needs wubi then, you should be able to run it on its own without it | 14:17 |
| dhruvasagar | is there a way to find out if my cdrom drive (hardware) is broken ? | 14:17 |
| Oxymoron | And then I wonder, if its possible to install some kind of acceleration divers for my laptop? I have dual link with Intel something integrated and some kind of crappy Nvidia ... | 14:17 |
| arkanabar | aetas, I think thrillERboy wants to rescue some files from his wubi install | 14:17 |
| thrillERboy | arkanabar: exactly | 14:18 |
| aetas | yeah, I told him to make the cd :) | 14:18 |
| W4RH4WK | i want to encrypt my file system. is it save to use an encrypted LVM when install ubuntu /debian with a complex password or is it easy to break this kind of encryption | 14:18 |
| * thrillERboy burning cd now | 14:18 | |
| wols | Oxymoron: sure it is, tho you will have probelms if you use the proprietary nvidia drivers | 14:18 |
| wols | W4RH4WK: it's not easy to brak | 14:19 |
| Oxymoron | wols: Why? :) | 14:19 |
| wols | *break | 14:19 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, so you have it installed into a boot image on the windows partition? | 14:19 |
| arkanabar | thrillERboy, go to nonags.com and search for archiving tools, see if you can find one to open up your wubi files. | 14:19 |
| wols | Oxymoron: cause the nvidia drivers are proprietary and don't work like linux drivers should work. nouveau does | 14:19 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: Why do you encrypt in the first place? | 14:19 |
| Oxymoron | wols: Well, does nouveau works some kind of stable then or is it unusable as earlier? :P | 14:20 |
| NoReGreT | i'm having trouble with suspending the system, it just freezes with a black screen, so i read somehwere to use "acpitool", that worked by suspending, but waking up is failing with the same black screen, any solutions? i'm on HP DV6 with dual GPUs | 14:20 |
| arkanabar | Oxymoron, encryption is generally a good idea, ESP on laptops. | 14:20 |
| thrillERboy | yes aetas | 14:20 |
| Oxymoron | arkanabar: ESP? | 14:20 |
| cdavis | nyuszika7h: I installed the cli tools and emptied the trash. Then I tested by deleting something and it now shows up. Perhaps somethign just got out of whack. | 14:20 |
| W4RH4WK | Oxymoron, i am working with critical data on my laptop, and if i lose my laptop ... | 14:20 |
| arkanabar | Oxymoron, sorry. especially. | 14:20 |
| thrillERboy | arkanabar: do you recommend any specific tools? | 14:21 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: Just curious, what kind of critical data? :) | 14:21 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, ok then yeah, you should try to boot into the rescue through wubi and fsck the partition | 14:21 |
| nyuszika7h | cdavis: Or the file you moved to Trash was a hidden file - those aren't displayed in Nautilus by default. | 14:21 |
| arkanabar | W4RH4WK, you may prefer an OS that encrypts the entire disk, eg Mandriva or fedora. | 14:21 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: meaning inside grub> menu? | 14:21 |
| cdavis | nyuszika7h: I don't believe so, there were about 30 files listed in the files directory. | 14:21 |
| Oxymoron | arkanabar: Its easier not to encrypt anything ... Even if you do, its not worth it as it can be forced anyway. | 14:22 |
| W4RH4WK | Oxymoron, mainly patient data, dossiers and stuff like this | 14:22 |
| nyuszika7h | cdavis: What do you mean? | 14:22 |
| thrillERboy | my ubuntu files are inside (hd0,msdos3) | 14:22 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, you would hop into the rescue cd at that point, yeah | 14:22 |
| MrNthDegree | who needs to encrypt the whole disk? | 14:22 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: Aha I see :) Well if anyone even would like the information they could hack your computer anyway :P | 14:22 |
| nyuszika7h | If you use `ls -a', or you have `ls' aliased to `ls -a', it's possible that it always shows hidden files. | 14:22 |
| W4RH4WK | Oxymoron, yes of course, i am aware of this fact. But that's another topic... | 14:23 |
| wols | arkanabar: ubuntu can do this too | 14:23 |
| cdavis | nyuszika7h: Within ~/.local/share/Trash/files I could see there were about 30 files listed. However, when opening the trash can the spinner spun for about 3 minutes and eventually dispalyed nothing at all | 14:23 |
| Oxymoron | Anyone able to help meout with my HDMI output problem? | 14:23 |
| W4RH4WK | Oxymoron, i am afraid of losing my laptop, somebody finds it and starts to blackmail me | 14:23 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: unknown command: fsck | 14:23 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: In other words, I dont see any reason for encrypt it. And if you must, encrypt USB stick or something, and work on only that ;) | 14:24 |
| wols | thrillERboy: "sudo" | 14:24 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: Why would anyone bother to blackmail a private person? :P | 14:24 |
| DamnSoGooD | how can i install a downloaded app? | 14:24 |

| aetas | thrillERboy, where are you at this point? | 14:24 |
| wols | DamnSoGooD: depends on the format it come sin | 14:24 |
| arkanabar | @all, encryption is required of anyone storing confidential data, eg medical professionals, lawyers, therapists. @wols, ubuntu encrypts /home. fedora and mandriva encrypt EVERYTHING. | 14:25 |
| Oxymoron | bazhang: Yeah I guess I go off topic :P | 14:25 |

| bazhang | samet, choose classic | 14:25 |
| jatt | you encrypt home but what if your private key gets lost? | 14:25 |
| wols | DamnSoGooD: don't | 14:25 |
| thrillERboy | wols: sudo only matters If i'm inside the OS. I hope | 14:25 |
| bazhang | DamnSoGooD, get from the repos | 14:25 |
| Oxymoron | W4RH4WK: I am not going further in this topic. But I just say, dont be so paranoid. You could even be dead by a meteorite tomorrow xD | 14:26 |

| jnsl_ | Hey guys! I'm trying to mount a folder with sshfs, it works if i don't use sudo (if i use sudo i don't have permissions for the dir i'm trying to mount), however i would like to mount the dir in /media/ and for this i need sudo! argh | 14:28 |
| wols | W4RH4WK: no you cannot. you can use LUKS for it tho | 14:29 |
| aetas | jnsl_, so change the permissions or add that user to the group for that directory | 14:29 |
| W4RH4WK | wols, ok, ty... i think i once read about LUKS in a gentoo manual or so.. | 14:29 |
| aetas | jnsl_, or mount it somewhere that user has access and link it into media | 14:29 |
| wols | jnsl_: show us the command and output for the time when you try it with sudo, cause this doesn't sound right | 14:29 |
| thrillERboy | ls -l shows partitions and its info aetas | 14:30 |
| jnsl_ | okay 1sec | 14:30 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, ok, try the few lines on that website. I think that will fix it | 14:30 |
| W4RH4WK | jnsl_, adding a line to fstab allows you to mount / unmount as normal user | 14:31 |
| aetas | wols, I wonder if hes trying to mount it without providing the ssh user and since hes sudoing to root, it tries to log him in as root | 14:31 |
| jnsl_ | "sshfs jn@myserver:/var/www /media/myserver" this give me "read: Connection reset by peer" | 14:31 |
| aetas | ...how did you jump from that to permissions problems? | 14:32 |
| faLUCE | is there a text editor which I can control through scripts? for example: I can implement a script that writes "foo" in the text editor, or that moves the cursor | 14:32 |
| jnsl_ | err with sudo that one | 14:32 |
| W4RH4WK | jnsl_, this would be my line in fstab> sshfs#w4rh4wk@xray:/ /mnt/xray fuse rw,noauto,user,noexec,sync,reconnect,fsname=sshfs#w4rh4wk@xray:/ 0 0 | 14:32 |
| jnsl_ | if i dont use sudo and mount in my home folder it works | 14:32 |
| wols | jnsl_: you didn't use sudo above either | 14:32 |
| wols | and a connection reset by peer has NOTHING to do what user runs it locally | 14:33 |
| jnsl_ | wols wopps that was a spelling mistake, sorry, that was with sudo | 14:33 |
| Deesl | anyway | 14:33 |
| Deesl | now for the next laptop | 14:33 |
| jnsl_ | i will try fstab it | 14:33 |
| aetas | that won't help right now | 14:33 |
| thrillERboy | what is the latest kernal version for ubuntu I updated 2 days ago. end its with .10 and starts with 2.6 | 14:34 |
| [tla] | faLUCE: emacs commands are written in a lisp style language that you can extend / reuse as much as you like. may be overkill for what you want though. | 14:34 |
| Lasers | faLUCE: vim? | 14:34 |
| CloudAche84 | I have 3.0. something or other | 14:34 |
| Lasers | faLUCE: I mentioned autokey. Don't know if you got it. | 14:34 |
| aetas | jnsl_, I think its probably the ssh key problem | 14:34 |
| thrillERboy | or many be starts with 2.8 I'm not sure, but, I'm sure it end with .10 | 14:35 |
| grendal_prime | anyone here use nagios? | 14:35 |
| aetas | jnsl_, can you try and sudo ssh (not sshfs) into that server with the same line and tell me what it does? | 14:35 |
| jpds | grendal_prime: #ubuntu-server might be a better place to ask. | 14:35 |
| faLUCE | Lasers: autokey was for another question | 14:35 |
| grendal_prime | we got this guy that is continually dinking around with various monitoring apps. | 14:35 |
| grendal_prime | ok thanks | 14:35 |

| jnsl_ | aetas permission denied public key | 14:35 |

| shomon | how do I get apache to automatically load index.htm files when it gets to directories without an index.html? | 14:35 |
| jnsl_ | so sudo dosent have the same key as my user | 14:36 |
| aetas | jnsl_, bingo, there you go. you have public key security setup but root doesn't have the public key that you gave your user | 14:36 |
| aetas | fix that problem and it should work fine | 14:36 |
| Lasers | faLUCE: Was autokey what you were looking for? | 14:36 |
| aetas | it should be in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts you can just copy it from that user | 14:36 |
| === snimavat is now known as sn | ||
| jnsl_ | ok, i ask dumb now but is it ok to give sudo my ssh keys? | 14:37 |
| aetas | what do you mean? | 14:37 |

| dr_willis | elijah: i recall over 4mb is pointless. from my research ages ago | 14:43 |
| aetas | dr_willis, I imagine it would depend on the system you run it on | 14:44 |
| aetas | ewww browser IRC | 14:44 |
| elijah | dr_willis: Hmm, using bs=16m bumped it to 16MBps but bumping it to bs=32m still keeps it at 16 MBps | 14:44 |

| wols | p33: what does your configure log say? | 14:50 |
| aetas | I think he means link but you can't never tell | 14:50 |
| wols | aetas: btw, he cannot use the libcapi20 in ubuntu | 14:50 |
| p33 | wols: "No package 'capi20' found. Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you | 14:50 |
| p33 | installed software in a non-standard prefix." | 14:50 |
| aetas | you mean the one in the package manager or the one from that site? | 14:51 |
| wols | p33: that's not what is in the log is (or at least there is a lot more) | 14:51 |
| p33 | on the site | 14:51 |
| wols | aetas: he cannot use libcapi20 from the repos | 14:51 |
| Titanoboa4 | anyone know? | 14:51 |
| aetas | interesting....just looked | 14:52 |
| BluebirdShao | dr_willis: in my home dir, i just found .fontconfig, may be it is. | 14:52 |
| wols | p33: I'd suggest you go to ircnet in channel #fritzbox but your choice | 14:52 |
| dr_willis | BluebirdShao: make a .fonts | 14:52 |
| phper_ | good evening | 14:52 |
| phper_ | many thanks | 14:52 |
| phper_ | bye | 14:52 |
| aetas | wols, whats the problem with libcapi20-3? | 14:52 |
| BluebirdShao | dr_willis: well, i will take a try. | 14:52 |
| p33 | wols: http://pastebin.de/17861 | 14:52 |
| p33 | wols: #fritzbox is empty | 14:53 |
| dr_willis | mkdir .fonts cp foo.ttf .fonts | 14:53 |
| wols | aetas: this is for a special german router not for some usual linux software using capi | 14:53 |
| aetas | p33, yeah its trying to run capi20 command and doesnt find it so it shows that | 14:53 |
| wols | p33: no it's not. I said ircnet | 14:53 |
| antivirtel | hello! I want to backup my mails to a CD. I've used Thunderbird. What is the best format of e-mails to bacup that to a CD? | 14:53 |

| wols | aetas: I am german | 14:54 |
| Titanoboa4 | hi. im trying to install ubuntu for the first time and at like 70% a popup says "Bootloader install failed. Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location." Then my options are to 1.choose a different device to install the bootloader on. 2.continue without a bootloader. 3. cancel the installation. obviously i want the first option but idk how. any ideas? | 14:54 |
| aetas | wols, so yes? ;) | 14:54 |
| wols | aetas: and I have the same router | 14:54 |
| aetas | haha | 14:54 |
| TBotNik | Thanks to all who helped me recover my internet last night! | 14:55 |
| wols | aetas: same family, but that small difference isn't relevant | 14:55 |
| shomon | oh so you're the guy who took my internet! | 14:55 |
| Titanoboa4 | or at least direct me to a good site for help | 14:55 |
| aetas | Titanoboa4, can you give us an overview of how you're installing? What hard drive, if you have other OSes installed, etc? | 14:55 |
| Titanoboa4 | sure | 14:55 |
| Titanoboa4 | might take a min, typing on phone | 14:56 |
| aetas | wols, yeah Im working off a general knowledge, I couldn't read anythign on there unless I fed it through google translate | 14:56 |
| aetas | oh jeez | 14:56 |
| BluebirdShao | dr_willis: thanks, man. | 14:56 |
| gribouille | hi | 14:56 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: no internet access via live CD? | 14:56 |
| aetas | probably can't fix it while he talks to us | 14:56 |
| Titanoboa4 | what do you mean? | 14:56 |
| aetas | Titanoboa4, as in boot an Ubuntu live cd and use IRC on that | 14:57 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: you have a ubuntu live cd. is there no network access with that? | 14:57 |
| gribouille | how can I know whether my system uses the proprietary drivers for my graphics card ? | 14:57 |
| Lasers | Psydoll: synaptic is GUI front-end. aptitude is CLI front-end. So basically, aptitude (or apt-get) is a CLI version of synaptic. | 14:57 |
| wols | gribouille: glxinfo|less | 14:57 |
| arkanabar | Titanoboa4, if you're installing from an Ubuntu live environment, some menu somewhere should include a web browser and a chat program -- most likely Epiphany. | 14:57 |
| mystiqueba | hey guys, is there a ubuntu alternative to itunes? | 14:58 |
| gribouille | wols, glxinfo gives the following error : X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) | 14:58 |
| mystiqueba | I have banshee but it doesn't come with already configured radio stations | 14:58 |
| wols | gribouille: then Xorg.0.log shows the driver name | 14:58 |
| Titanoboa4 | i have no idea. i somehow managed to open control center, whatever that is | 14:58 |
| aetas | mystiqueba, apt-cache search shows rhythmbox, tried it? | 14:59 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: what is your normal internet connection (aside from your current mobile)? | 14:59 |
| Titanoboa4 | 100mbit/s if thats what you mean | 14:59 |
| mystiqueba | aetas: does it come with music or do I have to search for them? | 14:59 |
| antivirtel | I want to backup my mails to a CD. I've used Thunderbird. What is the best format of e-mails to bacup that to a CD? | 14:59 |
| arkanabar | Titanoboa4, that's a configuration utility. I'm fairly well lost in Ubuntu since they went to Unity, and use lubuntu, myself. | 15:00 |
| aetas | mystiqueba, you want something linked to something like the iTunes music store? | 15:00 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: I more mean how you connect your PC you install ubuntu on to the internet | 15:00 |
| kongo_86 | question guys... how can i check the logs in my system... well more like what logs should i look at... | 15:00 |
| ciss | hi, i'm running into some serious issues with grub on ubuntu server lts 10.04.2. system hangs shortly after boot, no messages, no log entries. keyboard input gets drawn, though. if i rename /boot/grub/grub.cfg, i can at least get to the grub console. | 15:00 |
| kongo_86 | my laptop ubuntu 10.04 x64 keeps freezing | 15:00 |
| mystiqueba | aetas: yes. or a system where I don't have to go looking for radio stations or places that already stream songs | 15:00 |
| kongo_86 | completely locks up and i have to hard shutoff | 15:00 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: trying to determine if you can use the live CD to access the internet since you seem unable to know that yourself | 15:00 |
| ciss | how can i debug this further? | 15:00 |
| Titanoboa4 | oh. burned a cd (ubuntu 11.04) from another computer and booted that | 15:01 |
| arkanabar | kongo_86, can you describe what you're doing when your laptop freezes? | 15:01 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: have a nice day | 15:01 |
| gribouille | wols, the log file says : "NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 06:37:13 PDT 2010" and "NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs". is it ok? | 15:01 |
| Titanoboa4 | wols: :o ? | 15:01 |
| wcchandler_work | After 1 week of solid use of Unity in my work environment... I like it. :) I'm definitely more efficient. | 15:01 |
| Titanoboa4 | sorry for being so slow.... | 15:01 |
| kongo_86 | arkanabar: well this time i was running vmware workstation.. running BT5.. i have and i5 with 6GB RAM | 15:01 |
| wols | gribouille: so you are trying to use nvidia but messed it up somehow. "nvidia" is the proprietary driver | 15:01 |
| dualbootah | jello? | 15:02 |
| dualbootah | i installed wow but i cant find it | 15:02 |
| hichamat | I wonder if I can extract .zip file with gzip ? | 15:02 |
| gribouille | wols, why is it messed ? | 15:02 |
| dualbootah | where is the c:\programfiles folder in ubuntu | 15:02 |
| wols | gribouille: cause glxinfo doesn't work | 15:02 |
| arkanabar | kongo_86, next time, see if ctrl-alt-f1 will bring you to a console login. if so, sudo init 6 will reboot you. | 15:02 |
| wols | dualbootah: does not exist | 15:02 |
| aetas | mystiqueba, may not be a perfect solution but have you tried iTunes under wine? | 15:03 |
| th0r | dualbootah: if you are running it in wine, then c drive is in ~/.wine | 15:03 |
| dualbootah | ok | 15:03 |
| dualbootah | wheres that tho | 15:03 |
| Titanoboa4 | wols: if i continue without bootloader will i be able to access internet(thus irc) and add bootloader later? | 15:03 |
| wols | !fhs | dualbootah | 15:03 |
| ubottu | dualbootah: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 15:03 |
| gribouille | wols, I didn't do anything special. ubuntu messed it up by itself | 15:03 |
| dualbootah | wheres the ~/.wine | 15:03 |
| arkanabar | dualbootah, you have to enable show hidden files in your file manager. | 15:03 |
| heli | hi does anyone know how to runas in uuntu? | 15:03 |
| dualbootah | ooh ok | 15:03 |
| heli | sudo runs as root | 15:03 |
| dualbootah | i cant find the show hidden files tho | 15:03 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: we cannot know. you will be able to boot from live cd and install the bootloader. but if you can use internet from that depends on how you access the internet | 15:03 |
| aetas | mystiqueba, yeah it looks like ryhthmbox has a store attached to it | 15:03 |
| arkanabar | dualbootah, then it is in /home/yourusername/.wine/drive_c/Program Files | 15:03 |
| heli | but if I want run program as other user | 15:03 |
| kongo_86 | arkanabar: i tried it all the way tru f12 | 15:03 |
| Pici | heli: sudo -u otherusername | 15:04 |
| kongo_86 | its just completely locks up | 15:04 |
| dualbootah | the .wine is hidden | 15:04 |
| wols | heli: sudo can run as any other user too | 15:04 |
| dualbootah | i need to unhdie it but idk how | 15:04 |
| TBotNik | antivirtel: Haven't done that, use migration assistant for backup and sync, but think there is a backkup and/or export add-in, so check there. | 15:04 |
| Titanoboa4 | wols: well yeah i can access internet | 15:04 |
| wols | dualbootah: you can't. and you don't need to either | 15:04 |
| arkanabar | kongo_86, yeah, obviously it does. I'm gonna guess you can't even change your capslock setting. | 15:04 |
| gribouille | wols, how can I solve the problem? | 15:04 |
| gilrez | hello everyone! | 15:04 |
| dualbootah | wols its not there it must be hidden | 15:04 |
| mystiqueba | aetas: ok, I'll install it now and see | 15:04 |
| lostcowboy | Hello, I have this problem in 10.04 where on the login screen/gdm when switching users or from a fresh start/restart has half the screen as black with a magnified mouse of a sorts, and also, it accepts my password and authenticates, yet throws me back to the login after doing so about 3 times before finally letting me into my desktop. What gives? | 15:04 |
| kongo_86 | arkanabar: ding ding NOPE! | 15:05 |
| fabianhjr | I am trying to install Ubuntu on an external 3TB drive. It fails at the end telling me it cannot install GRUB. After searching it has to do with the WD Advanced Format that is lying about being 512 sectors instead of 4K. Also during the installation it only shows me 1/8 of the capacity that is really there while Disk Utility shows me the "real" capacity.(11.04-Natty) | 15:05 |
| arkanabar | dualbootah, you will just have to go through every menu in your file manager. I could tell you if it was PCManFM, but you're probably using nautilus | 15:05 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: then connect to the itnernet now instead from your phone and pastebin the output of fdisk -l | 15:05 |
| wdp | aetas, ok. i know now whats causing it. | 15:05 |
| dualbootah | oh i got it! | 15:05 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: rather, sudo fdisk -l | 15:05 |
| dualbootah | i just had to hit control h | 15:05 |
| aetas | Titanoboa4, it sounds like the install failed so you will likely need your LiveCD in there every boot basically | 15:05 |
| wols | wdp: what? | 15:05 |
| aetas | wdp, yay, what? | 15:05 |
| kongo_86 | arkanabar: so are they any logs i can look at? | 15:05 |
| kongo_86 | see what cause it | 15:05 |
| heli | ok ut when i use sudo -u username progam then i dont see gui | 15:05 |
| arkanabar | kongo_86, you've gone well past the limits of my knowledge. | 15:05 |
| wols | gribouille: dpkg -l |grep nvidia for a start | 15:06 |
| Titanoboa4 | wols: well im inthe middle of the installation, how am i supposed to connect? | 15:06 |
| * arkanabar doesn't fool around with virtual machines. | 15:06 | |
| heli | anyone know this? | 15:06 |
| dualbootah | you supposed to add some sort of opengl line to the wow config.wtf file for it to work on ubuntu graphics? | 15:06 |
| kongo_86 | arkanabar: no prob!! thanks for your hlep | 15:06 |
| dualbootah | does anyone know what line it is | 15:06 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: I can't find my linux kernal? where can I find it? | 15:06 |
| aetas | wols, Im not sure hes actually on a live cd, this may be an actual install CD | 15:06 |
| arkanabar | dualbootah, go to http://ofwineandwarcraft.blogspot.com | 15:06 |
| wols | dualbootah: wow needs a commandline switch for opengl IIRC | 15:06 |
| wdp | aetas, i'm used to play fast paced ego shooters, so i'm having gaming-mouses from razer here. I changed the mouse polling rate to 1000hz (which is quite fine on my other box) and it causes 50% xorg cpu usage and 17% nautilus usage in ubuntu.. that made me think "wtf". However, on the back of my mouse is a switch for 1000hz and one for 125hz. i just put that switch to 125hz and all is fine. maximal cpu usage at xorg droped down to 8% | 15:06 |
| === faz_ is now known as faz_meeting | ||
| arkanabar | dualbootah, also, search "Linux" and "Wine" at wowhead and wowwik | 15:07 |
| wols | Titanoboa4: finish the install and come back with the live cd. we can then (hopefully) fix your bootloader | 15:07 |
| Titanoboa4 | okay | 15:07 |
| Titanoboa4 | will do | 15:07 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, ls /boot | 15:07 |
| wdp | aetas, and im still able to set the hz value in linux manually. No idea whether the mouse uses it, tho. | 15:07 |
| gribouille | wols, the installed packages are: nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidia-96-modaliases, nvidia-common, nvidia-current, nvidia-current-modaliases, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-settings | 15:07 |
| dualbootah | i found a perfect link | 15:07 |
| dualbootah | ty | 15:07 |
| wdp | aetas, wols so basically.. even if it sounds totally weird, it was the mouse/usb's fault. | 15:07 |
| arkanabar | dualbootah, one more thing, check out WoW in appdb.winehq.org | 15:07 |
| wols | gribouille: what does Xorg.0.log say? | 15:07 |
| aetas | wdp, thats what I was thinking. only reason I ran into this is because I have one too and I've had to change the windows polling rate for other mice in the past | 15:08 |
| wdp | thats quite weird, isn't it :> | 15:08 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: ls /boot returns a empty line :( | 15:08 |
| Titanoboa4 | *arnold voice* i'll be back | 15:08 |
| wols | wdp: no. it's the usb/mouse driver's fault imho | 15:08 |
| aetas | you should be able to change the usb polling rate from the computer and override the mouse's though | 15:08 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, well thats a good sign | 15:08 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, hrm | 15:08 |
| wdp | yup did that. seems to work, and cpu usage is still at 5% when moving. So i guess theres something wrong with the driver or the mouse. | 15:09 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, can you run fdisk from within there? | 15:09 |
| Rotham | d/j #mises | 15:09 |
| gribouille | wols, a lot: it is 286 lines long | 15:09 |
| wdp | so well, next time someone comes with similar issues, ask em which mouse they use heh. | 15:09 |
| wols | !tell gribouille about paste | 15:09 |
| ubottu | gribouille, please see my private message | 15:09 |
| yy | I have a question.. What can I do to restore deleted files on ext3 partition? I know the file name (nohup.out) and some of its content | 15:09 |
| thrillERboy | unknown command: fdisk | 15:09 |
| aetas | it can happen on any mice if they change the mouse poll rate, you can do it on normal mice too | 15:10 |
| wdp | just difficult to realize that. you're looking for a problem with xorg (your GRAPHICAL stuff) and it turns out it was the mouse. | 15:10 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: unknown command fdisk :( | 15:10 |
| gilrez | I was wounding if anyone would be able to help me or point me in the right direction! I installed XAMPP and mysql will not start. Need help! | 15:10 |
| wdp | however guys. Thanks a lot for your help. :) | 15:10 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, hold on a sec | 15:10 |
| thrillERboy | :) | 15:10 |
| aetas | wdp, np, glad you're fixed | 15:11 |
| wols | gilrez: installing xampp was your first mistake. remove ALL of it. install apache, php5 and mysql from ubuntu repos | 15:11 |

| aetas | thrillERboy, Im really sorry man but if you can't find your image which I hear should be in C:\ubuntu\disks then I think you're at a standstill. I would try a Windows NTFS restore program to see if it can locate your disk files and restore them | 15:29 |
| wols | gribouille: LANG=C <apt-get command to reinstall nvidia drivers> that will give us english error messages | 15:30 |
| szal | gribouille: then you clearly did something wrong | 15:30 |
| szal | gribouille: e.g. not running w/ privileges (though that should've aborted earlier in the process) | 15:30 |
| gribouille | szal, I just removed the package and reinstalled it | 15:31 |
| thrillERboy | Okey aetas Thanks, So my disk image should be inside C:\ubuntu\disks right? | 15:31 |
| wols | gribouille: have you ever had drivers from nvidia.com installed? | 15:31 |
| gribouille | wols, I don't think so. why? | 15:31 |
| szal | gribouille: btw, what card are we talking about? | 15:32 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, yeah...your best bet is to try the NTFS restore which I have gotten to successfully restore files before, especially if its not been that long since it went missing. after that do a chkdsk on that drive as well | 15:32 |

| Olotila | WHere can I find audio or video tutorials for ubuntu? | 15:34 |
| xangua | Olotila: youtube¿ | 15:34 |
| Olotila | so that I can listen to them for example in car? | 15:34 |
| thrillERboy | Thanks a ton aetas. You're super helpful. I already have a few filerecovery programs on my desktop, will also try NTFS Restore. Thanks a ton. I can't thank you enough :) | 15:34 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, I wish I had a better answer for you but usually a bad restart doesn't do that much harm these days so I think a restoration will be successful atleast. If it restores but doesn't boot, you can atleast pull the files out of it | 15:36 |
| Olotila | going through youtube atm, but any other sites/sources`? | 15:36 |
| thrillERboy | aetas: you means windows system restore? | 15:36 |
| aetas | thrillERboy, NTFS restore that image, then you can probably mount/open it with something and get your files even if it won't boot | 15:37 |

| gbear14275 | Hello, I'm trying to get usb tethering working with an android phone and have been having problems. Has anyone possibly got this working? The phone shows a wired connection labeled HTC android phone but it is greyed out. I'm on 11.04 and an htc sensation 4g | 15:42 |
| gbear14275 | I already checked in android and they recommended asking here | 15:42 |
| wols | gribouille: you run ubuntu 10.10, right? | 15:43 |
| geekbri | My crontab seems to have just stopped working, Valid entries just seem to not run at all. Also if i try to use */1 * * * * it says bad minute in the logs... very odd. | 15:43 |
| aetas | gbear14275, so you're trying to let your ubuntu use your phone's internet? | 15:43 |
| gribouille | wols, yes | 15:43 |
| wols | gribouille: cant really see why it errors. maybe google the erroring lines from your Xorg.0.log, dunno | 15:44 |
| hoshi | anyone know what apt-get and deb packages are for arch and gentoo and openSUSE are? | 15:45 |
| gribouille | wols, and the warnings displayed by apt-get ? | 15:45 |
| gimpy1382 | How would I get my extra mouse buttons to work like keyboard shortcuts? | 15:45 |
| hoshi | I know fedora and redhat uses rpm | 15:45 |
| wols | gribouille: warnings. not relevant to your problem. they're about HDTV acceleration, not 3D support | 15:46 |
| szal | hoshi: we don't support neither Arch nor Gentoo nor openSUSE nor Fedora nor Red Hat.. you can try asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic though | 15:46 |
| gbear14275 | aetas: yes. through USB. Wireless tethering is working but I'd like to see if I can get the USB tethering workin | 15:46 |
| gribouille | wols, ok | 15:46 |
| szal | hoshi: or you could browse DistroWatch & get a clue | 15:46 |

| howlymowly | hi poeple.. for some reason my repositories are not correctly authenicated anymore.. it always says "Untrusted packages could compromise your system's security. | 15:53 |
| howlymowly | You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that | 15:53 |
| howlymowly | this is what you want to do. | 15:53 |

| elzoog | Okay, now it did something different. Now it began a download progress bar. Rather than babysit it, I decided to chat here. After going back to the Ubuntu Software Center it is now not doing anything while the "install" button is on. | 15:53 |

| gbear14275 | aetas: 2.3.3 | 15:54 |
| wols | szal: cause it was originally a Xbox, then Windows and PS3 game. didn't know it was ported since then | 15:54 |
| wols | elzoog: install it via apt-get not software center | 15:54 |
| wols | elzoog: and then show us the full output of your apt-get run | 15:55 |
| ActionParsnip | szal: dont believe so, although so some games do run natively, Warzone2100 used to be a windows game and has been ported :) | 15:55 |
| elzoog | wols What's the command to install it via apt-get? | 15:55 |
| szal | wols: apt-get doesn't install local pkgs, iirc | 15:55 |

| ActionParsnip | alex--: thats all I know | 16:07 |
| ikonia | Dori922: not being rude, but the project you are doing it a total waste | 16:08 |
| lesshaste | ActionParsnip, ok.. thanks. It is surprising as I have a more or less vanilla lucid install | 16:08 |
| gbear14275 | wow... ok so I guess I didn't try enough and fell suspect to my assumptions | 16:08 |
| lesshaste | thanks though | 16:08 |
| alex-- | ActionParsnip: how to mark it as executable? | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | alex--: chmod +x file also make sure your user is either the owner, or a in the group which has group ownership | 16:09 |
| gbear14275 | turns out when selecting the USB tethering option I have two choices. Windows or Mac osx... I assumed and was choosing Mac OSX assuming it would be more closely matched... well... turns out it doesn't work (hence me asking)... but chose the windows option for kicks... and worked immidiately | 16:09 |
| alex-- | ActionParsnip: i did | 16:09 |
| Dori922 | ikonia: nah dude its awesome, i really appreciate you telling me this :D so your suggesting getting new hardware in to run the UEC with KVM instead of running UEC with XEN? | 16:09 |
| alex-- | now i get segmentation fault | 16:09 |
| alex-- | when i run it | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | alex--: what is the app? | 16:09 |
| alex-- | mta-server | 16:09 |
| gbear14275 | so... there's my lesson learned. aetas ActionParsnip thanks for your time sorry I kinda wasted it | 16:10 |
| ikonia | Dori922: Xen is a dead in relation to now more advanced technologies such as kvm | 16:10 |
| wols | Dori922: what is UEC? | 16:10 |
| alex-- | ActionParsnip: mta-server | 16:10 |
| ikonia | wols: enterprise cloud | 16:10 |
| wols | on a machine without VT? what server comes without VT? | 16:10 |
| Dori922 | wols: Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, its Ubuntu Server with Eucalyptus cloud features | 16:10 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip: In the future, I don't think you should suggest using the tactic you just did to fix a dpkg issue. Using --force-all can be dangerous. Also, I don't even see those package versions in Lucid, so something weird is going on. | 16:10 |

| ikonia | i7 cpu that dosn't support VT - I very much doubt that | 16:12 |
| wols | Dori922: can you tell us what /proc/cpuinfo says what i7 it is? | 16:12 |

| wols | zero_errfa: are you IRCing from the same computer that has this problem? | 16:27 |
| zero_errfa | wols : no | 16:27 |
| wols | zero_errfa: then put in in a ubuntu live cd and run the fdisk command | 16:27 |
| zero_errfa | wols : the computer that has the problem is a server, that i can't shutdown while people in the company still working | 16:27 |

| wols | gribouille: what is? | 16:37 |
| gribouille | wols, a problem with sshfs | 16:37 |
| lsv | when I log in to my account in my laptop a message appears saying that my battery might be old or broken, is there any way to fix this or should I just buy a new battery? | 16:37 |
| gribouille | wols, nvidia-settings reads the contents of the current directory | 16:38 |
| wols | lsv: is the battery old and broken (ie doesn't hold a charge anymore)? | 16:38 |
| lsv | wols: is does charge, but it last less time time. | 16:38 |
| gribouille | wols, nvidia-settings doesn't offer the resolution I want | 16:39 |
| wols | gribouille: then you might have to force it via xorg.conf | 16:39 |
| mang0 | How do I tell what wine version I have? | 16:39 |

| gribouille | wols, how ? | 16:39 |

| JustSighDudes | Can someone check how big /boot is? | 16:40 |
| wols | gribouille: X -configure and then editing it. make sure you make a copy of your current xorg.conf first for backup | 16:40 |
| th0r | mang0: wine --version? | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | wols: why not use nvidia-xconfig | 16:40 |
| wols | too long since I last rewrote xorg.conf and I didn't like it back then either | 16:40 |
| wols | gribouille: listen more to ActionParsnip, not me | 16:41 |
| lsv | mang0: you can probably look at the man page for wine and look at the different switches. | 16:41 |
| mang0 | th0r: thanks | 16:41 |
| gribouille | wols, I've just created a new xorg.conf file with nvidia-settings (that solved the problem with glx) | 16:41 |
| Dori922 | wols: could i run one hypervisor on the front end server(KVM) and a different hypervisor on the node server(XEN) | 16:42 |
| gribouille | ActionParsnip, do you know how to add the 1280x1024 screen resolution? | 16:42 |
| wols | Dori922: I don't know enough about UEC to answer that | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | gribouille: sure | 16:42 |
| Dori922 | wols: ah okey :D thanks anyway | 16:42 |
| gribouille | ActionParsnip, how? | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gribouille: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings | 16:43 |
| wols | Dori922: but it's very very unlikely that your i7 machine doesn't do VT, that's all I know a little about | 16:43 |
| wols | Dori922: e.g. I suggest you look for it harder. which is why I wanted to know what mobo you use for it | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gribouille: set the resolution to something and click "write to X config file" then close the app. | 16:43 |
| TrentH | Hello? | 16:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Dori922: why do you need 64bit in the guest? | 16:44 |
| wols | MrUnagi: it means it tried to connect to the wanyrdude host and that host didn't answer | 16:45 |
| TrentH | But anyways, i'm having trouble with windows skipping on my screen? I have the FGLRX driver working....I'm using a HD5850 | 16:45 |
| MrUnagi | I'm confused why it is looking at that host | 16:45 |
| MrUnagi | i changed it, or i thought i did | 16:45 |
| wols | MrUnagi: cause someone wrote a mail to it.where did you change it? | 16:45 |
| jono | Mark Shuttleworth is doing a Q+A in #ubuntu-classroom - ask questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 16:45 |
| MrUnagi | dpkg-reconfigure | 16:46 |
| wols | MrUnagi: there is more to that | 16:46 |
| MrUnagi | where should i be looking | 16:46 |
| gribouille | ActionParsnip, do I have to choose the screen resolution in a drop down list? | 16:46 |
| TrentH | Anybody know why whenever I drag a window it skips instead of goes smoothly across the screen? | 16:46 |
| ActionParsnip | gribouille: yes, so you can identify the resolution bit so you can change it in the xorg.conf file | 16:46 |
| Dori922 | ActionParsnip: what do you mean by 64bit in the guest? | 16:47 |
| MrUnagi | ultimately i am trying to figure out why telnet localhost 25 is failing | 16:47 |
| wols | MrUnagi: /etc/mailnames, your alias file, /etc/hosts, your dns server | 16:47 |
| TheCyph3r | quick question: what is the equivalent of "alt+f4" in ubuntu? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dori922: if you get VT enabled, it will allow 64bit guest virtual machines. yes? | 16:47 |
| ActionParsnip | TheCyph3r: to close a window, its the same | 16:47 |
| MrUnagi | TheCyph3r: alt + f4 | 16:47 |
| TheCyph3r | thanks! | 16:48 |
| gribouille | ActionParsnip, ok. now, all I have to do is change the resolution in xorg.conf? | 16:48 |
| MrUnagi | owls mail names was right, /etc/hosts does not have my domain in it | 16:48 |
| MrUnagi | brb | 16:48 |
| TrentH | How do I make windows not "skip" across the screen? They don't glide smoothly like in windows? | 16:49 |
| Dori922 | ActionParsnip: on the NC? sorry im still coming to terms with UEC :P | 16:49 |
| TrentH | Whenever I reposistion a window or somthing | 16:49 |

| ActionParsnip | gribouille: exactly, then restart X or the system | 16:49 |
| TrentH | th0r, I have a Radeon HD5850 and it can't handle the "fancy effects"? | 16:50 |
| Dori922 | wols: i got hired to learn/research/develop a mock cloud system | 16:50 |
| riddler | question: how do I make usb look like the cdrom? i forgot the correct 'mount' command for it | 16:50 |
| th0r | TrentH: do you want an answer or an argument? | 16:50 |
| Dori922 | wols: its all about me learning UEC before putting a system into production | 16:50 |
| wols | Dori922: I'd be wary of the "Mock" part :) | 16:50 |
| Dori922 | wols: :P its not gonna be sold to clients | 16:50 |
| TrentH | th0r, i just didn't think it wouldn't handle somthing like that | 16:51 |

| ActionParsnip | gribouille: if you search aound you will find sample files, you can copy the syntax, basically your screen sucks and isn't reporting its refesh rates and such to the system, so you need to manually tell it the refresh rates | 17:02 |

| wols | blade_: as long as you don't want to use crossfire or such, it should work fine without fglrx | 17:40 |

| ActionParsnip | OeKintaro: if you install minimal then install something like fluxbox and lightdm you should be ok (or skip lightdm and configure auto logins with conf files ;)) | 17:40 |

| terry | Sterile: (Maybe you need to do chmod +x ~/.vim/syntax/python3.0.vim ) | 17:58 |
| aetas | jnsl_, comment it out, it doesnt even have a partition number. then put the drive back and try again | 17:58 |
| jnsl_ | what about /dev/shm? | 17:59 |
| terry | Sterile: In other words, see if the executable bit is set for it. I don't know that it needs to be but would asume it does. | 17:59 |
| aetas | jnsl_, it looks like some sort of amazon cloud drive. does /mnt exist on that drive? | 17:59 |
| aetas | jnsl_, it can be commented too. I dont think that ones the problem but never know | 18:00 |
| Sterile | terry, when I execute that I get -rw-r--r-- 1 alex alex 15328 2011-07-22 12:17 /home/alex/.vim/syntax/python3.0.vim | 18:00 |
| jnsl_ | mnt exist, its empty, i dont remember it being there pre my reboot failure | 18:00 |

| daweefolk | i use elinks. i edited my elinks.conf but the changes dont appear to happen. how do i open elinks and essentially reload my config file? | 18:00 |
| aetas | jnsl_, I think that sdb line is the problem most likely. lemme know if it fixes it | 18:00 |
| jnsl_ | ohhhhh crap aetas | 18:00 |
| jnsl_ | i gave wrong fstab | 18:00 |
| Ray2 | I have Ubuntu 10.04 w/grub2 on my sda drive...I also have Ubuntu 10.04 w/grub2 on my sdb drive along with mageia 1 w/ grub1...can I delete the ubuntu on the sdb drive and not screw up the grub on sda drive | 18:01 |
| jnsl_ | aetas no wait its the right one hehe sorry :) ill try reboot now | 18:01 |
| aetas | lol | 18:01 |
| jnsl_ | aetas do i comment out LABEL and proc line as well ? | 18:02 |
| aetas | if you comment out your root mount point, you won't have a system | 18:02 |
| aetas | and dont pick on proc | 18:02 |
| jnsl_ | haha ok | 18:02 |
| a-new-user | hi, how do i find out whats causing this error? "failed to enumerate usb device on port 2" | 18:04 |
| a-new-user | actually its "unable to enumerate...." | 18:04 |
| ohzie | Hey, if I give someone ssh access and I just want them to be able to scp/sftp, can I make their default shell null? | 18:04 |
| ohzie | a-new-user: unplug your usb devices and slowly plug them in until you get that error in dmesg | 18:05 |
| RavenHursT | so... I'm attempting to follow this walk through here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/18903/how-to-enable-trim but everytime I attempt to run the hdparm command.. I get "reading sector 5805056: FAILED: Input/output error" any ideas? | 18:05 |
| ohzie | a-new-user: when you get it, the last thing you plugged in is probably what's causing that error. | 18:05 |
| kpoman | ActionParsnip, I dont even see anything free in there !!! only 30 days evaluation ... where do you get the free for non-commercial version ? | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | RavenHursT: are you prefixing the command with sudo | 18:06 |
| ikonia | RavenHursT: sounds like that sector has a fault | 18:06 |
| a-new-user | i don't have any usb devices plugged in, the error's always there | 18:06 |
| ikonia | RavenHursT: ahhh, ActionParsnip is more realistic | 18:06 |
| terry | Sterile: Did you grab script version 3.0.6? If so, try 3.0.5 and just overwrite and see. | 18:06 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: yup.. | 18:06 |
| a-new-user | actually, i have keyboard and mouse. Could they cause it? | 18:06 |
| Rigin | yes | 18:06 |
| Sterile | terry, yes, I did. One second. | 18:07 |
| RavenHursT | ikonia: if it's a bad sector.. then how is it able to create the temp file there? | 18:07 |
| Rigin | yes i | 18:07 |
| kpoman | RavenHursT, no free version at all now ? | 18:07 |
| Rigin | how | 18:07 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: huh? | 18:07 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: free what? | 18:07 |
| terry | Sterile: There are 4 there, that all have same file name, python3.0.vim Could be that script version 3.0.6 is not working for you and one of the ohters will. | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | kpoman: i'd ask in #vmware its more specific to the issue | 18:08 |
| Rigin | how i make shell null | 18:08 |
| kpoman | RavenHursT, vmware workstation or whatever | 18:08 |
| terry | Sterile: I jsut compared the first two and they are different. | 18:08 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: oooohhh... I'm using Oracle VM Virtual Box running Natty | 18:08 |
| kpoman | RavenHursT, I am too, but need to test some stuff on vmware | 18:08 |
| Sterile | terry, ohoh, I think the first ones are for python 3+ | 18:09 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: I'm sooo lost in this conversation.. lol | 18:09 |
| Sterile | terry, but I have like python 2.7 | 18:09 |
| RavenHursT | kpoman: Not sure what you're getting at | 18:09 |

| Zzarkc-20 | Hello. What do I add to a script to make it input for a prompt? Like, I'm trying to write a script to scp some files to a remote server, but when I connect, it asks for a password. How do I hardcode it so it will enter the password and hit, "enter?" | 18:12 |
| Parameter | Zzarkc-20, try piping | 18:14 |
| jnsl_ | WOOT | 18:14 |
| terry | Sterile: Did you already have the directory ~/.vim/syntax ? Or did you have to create it? | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Zzarkc-20: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_08_02.html | 18:14 |
| Parameter | not sure if it works | 18:14 |
| rns | how do I copy a file in the terminal with a different name? For example say test.py already exists, and I want create a new file that is a copy of test.py and name it test_copy.py. | 18:14 |
| jnsl_ | I think it worked!!!!! | 18:14 |
| Parameter | but, you could still try | 18:14 |
| Parameter | for example | 18:14 |
| Parameter | echo SomePass123 | yourcommnd | 18:14 |
| Flannel | rns: cp test.py test_copy.py | 18:14 |
| jnsl_ | aetas i think it worked!!! :D | 18:14 |
| Sterile | terry, I had to create it | 18:14 |
| Sterile | terry, why? | 18:14 |
| terry | rns cp test.py test_copy.py | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Parameter: there is the 'read' command in bash :D | 18:14 |
| Parameter | ok | 18:15 |
| jnsl_ | let me rephrase, aetas it worked! thanks a million bloody fstab how did that one get in there | 18:15 |
| WaltherFI | Any plugins for LibreOffice that would allow me to create invoices with SEPA-compatible barcodes in Code 128 C | 18:15 |
| terry | rns: cp test.py test_copy.py #Will give you two identical files. | 18:15 |
| aetas | jnsl_, are you using some type of cloud? | 18:15 |
| jnsl_ | aetas yep =) | 18:15 |
| aetas | jnsl_, it looks like your cloud connection disappeared and it could no longer mount it | 18:16 |

| alazare619 | i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt | 18:16 |
| terry | Sterile: Well, I don't have that dir either. I was just wondering. I DO have /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax | 18:16 |
| terry | so..... | 18:16 |
| jnsl_ | i see, yes im using amazon web services! Now i know how to fix that another time :) | 18:16 |
| Sterile | terry, yeah, I read a bit about it | 18:17 |
| terry | Sterile: and in that dir, I have python.vim | 18:17 |
| Sterile | terry, I think vim looks into that dir too | 18:17 |
| alazare619 | i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt | 18:17 |

| aetas | jnsl_, if you're going to use those types of things, don't have them as "auto" in your fstab....don't put anything auto if there's a chance its not going to be there on the boot | 18:17 |
| Sterile | terry, same colors etc. | 18:17 |
| terry | Sterile: It is possible it looks for ~/.vim/syntax/ for plugins first. Not sure, but I just think that might be the way it works. | 18:18 |
| alazare619 | i have a jump drive that soon as i put it into a pc it dismounts it i cant even try and format it any ideas? i know its partition table is corrupt | 18:18 |
| Zzarkc-20 | ActionParsnip: Parameter Thanks guys! | 18:18 |
| Parameter | Zzarkc-20, you're welcome | 18:18 |
| Parameter | so, what did help? | 18:18 |
| terry | Sterile: Try moving /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/python.vim someplace else and put the new one there. | 18:18 |
| aetas | alazare619, how do you mean it dismounts it? | 18:19 |
| mel | Zzarkc-20: Can you use passwordless SSH to the remote server? 1. Create a shared key in your .ssh folder by running 'ssh-keygen -t rsa' and just return through all the prompts. 2. scp the id_rsa.put to the server like this: cat /<username>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh <server-ip> "cat >> /<username>/.ssh/authorized_keys; chmod 600 /<username>/.ssh/authorized_keys" Be sure to replace <username> and <server-ip> with the correct info. | 18:19 |
| terry | Sterile: In other words, temporarily move /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/python.vim someplace else, copy the new script to /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/ and do rm -rf ~/.vim/syntax | 18:19 |
| alazare619 | it acts like it sees it aetas then it just disappears whats the terminal command to show all devices? | 18:20 |

| === km is now known as Guest16105 | ||
| terry | Sterile: It may also work if you just name the file python.vim AND maybe that is what vim is looking for. (Just guessing here. It probably doent's matter as long as the name starts with python.) | 18:23 |
| Abhijit | stercor, what trouble? i think sudo apt-get install latex install it | 18:23 |
| Raven | I just installed Ubuntu and there's something that really confuses me | 18:24 |
| Sterile | terry, yay it works :) I typed the command in vimrc and now both .py and .sage files work | 18:24 |
| Raven | Would this be the place to ask? | 18:24 |
| terry | Sterile: Great! | 18:25 |
| stercor | Abhijit: I have logs of all of it. But none of it makes sense. It just says "Error" or "PANIC" with little explanation. | 18:25 |

| Raven | I was wondering if I download a program from firefox | 18:26 |
| Raven | and it gives a .tar | 18:26 |
| terry | Sterile: I dono | 18:26 |
| aetas | Raven, is this your first ubuntu install? | 18:26 |
| szal | slacker_nl: your EOL Upgrade howto could use a little refreshment ;) | 18:26 |
| Sterile | terry, did you just google it? lol | 18:26 |
| Raven | where do I extract it to so that ubuntu considers it an installed program? | 18:26 |
| terry | Sterile: Prolly puts you in edit mode and prints u | 18:26 |
| Raven | Yes, this is my first ubuntu install | 18:26 |
| slacker_nl | szal: which part? | 18:26 |
| terry | Sterile: No. Was that a joke? | 18:27 |
| szal | slacker_nl: specifically including upgrading from Hardy or Karmic to Lucid | 18:27 |
| Raven | I'm running the newest version, by the way | 18:27 |
| Sterile | terry, no, I mean, how did you find out the command | 18:27 |
| maco | Raven: for a pre-compiled tarball like firefox uses, it doesn't really matter where it is. it's statically compiled. you can run it from anywhere, as long as the thing to double click stays in the same spot in its untar'd directory | 18:27 |
| Sterile | terry, is what I'm wondering | 18:27 |
| aetas | Raven, things in .tar or .tar.gz or .tgz or .bzip2 are usually source packages which have to be built and installed manually (usually scripted) but will never show up as installed in Ubuntu | 18:27 |
| maco | Raven: what you CAN do is make a launcher and tell it the path to wherever you stashed it | 18:27 |
| trism | Sterile: :help filetype | 18:27 |
| maco | aetas: firefox doesn't ship source tarballs, just static compiled ones | 18:27 |
| trism | Sterile: it was from me, not terry | 18:28 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy all. My sound has disappeared! What can I do??? | 18:28 |
| slacker_nl | szal: mkay.. I don't have much time on my hands and my VM is broken (at least, unable to connect to it..) | 18:28 |
| terry | au: command not found | 18:28 |
| slacker_nl | szal: I will have a look, but no idea when/how | 18:28 |
| Sterile | trism, oh, my bad | 18:28 |
| szal | slacker_nl: and perhaps even from Intrepid or Jaunty to Lucid (no idea whether that's supported, but helpers here in the chat keep reiterating that it should at least still be possible to upgrade from Jaunty to Lucid via Karmic, which I somehow doubt) | 18:28 |
| Sterile | trism, you both have similar names | 18:28 |
| maco | Raven: there should be a way to make that launcher in the menu, but i use kubuntu so dont knw how to do it in ubuntu | 18:28 |
| Raven | Well, when I double click the cog icon which appears represent the program, nothing happens | 18:28 |
| aetas | maco, "usually" | 18:28 |
| trism | Sterile: indeed | 18:28 |
| Raven | I've somewhat lost the thread of the explanation | 18:28 |
| maco | Raven: i'm not sure why you need a static firefox though. firefox should be included in your ubuntu install | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Raven there is a ppa which will give firefox5 and will integrate it into you system packages | 18:29 |
| slacker_nl | jaunty to lucid? | 18:29 |
| Raven | but not the newest version | 18:29 |
| roasted | eth0 is set for static, yet it pulled a dhcp address. uhh??? | 18:29 |
| maco | Raven: which version of ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| Raven | 11 | 18:29 |
| maco | !info firefox | 18:29 |
| szal | slacker_nl: and I think everything older than Hardy can be removed or moved to some other place for historical reasons ;) | 18:29 |
| ubottu | firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 (natty), package size 14799 kB, installed size 29868 kB | 18:29 |

| slacker_nl | szal: 9.04 to 10.04 directly is not possible | 18:29 |
| terry | Oh you mean for python code. ... again , I dono. | 18:29 |
| aetas | maco: he said download a program FROM firefox, not firefox ;) | 18:29 |
| Raven | No, mine only came with 4.0 | 18:30 |
| aetas | guys stop confusing him, he didnt say hes downloading firefox | 18:30 |
| slacker_nl | szal: I don't agree, it is already called EOLUpgrades ;) | 18:30 |
| Raven | actually i am | 18:30 |
| maco | Raven: you just need to install updates :) | 18:30 |
| aetas | ok well you said from firefox ;) | 18:30 |
| szal | slacker_nl: of course not, but some say that it's still possible to go 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 | 18:30 |
| Raven | but that's not really the point | 18:30 |
| maco | Raven: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:30 |
| maco | Raven: or use update-manager | 18:30 |
| slacker_nl | that is true, that should be possible | 18:30 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, I uninstalled network manager and set it as static in the network interface file. I thought it was weird that my network connection wasnt working, then I realized it was 17.11 when the IP should be static @ 17.2 | 18:30 |

| dualbootah | even after ive added the SET opengl thing to the config file | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | slacker_nl: its possible, just no advised or supported | 18:31 |
| roasted | ActionParsnip, I just restarted the net interfaces and now its 17.2, but it legitimently puled a DHCP address when it was set to static, which shocked me. | 18:31 |
| gentoo | Salam | 18:31 |
| slacker_nl | ActionParsnip: I know, so not going to advise/document it ;) | 18:31 |
| Raven | This is incredibly confusing. Is ubuntu really set up so that you can't download an application from the internet without having to resort to terminal workarounds? | 18:31 |
| Sterile | terry, trism, thanks for the help :) | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | slacker_nl: point taken | 18:31 |

| dante123 | that means bottom is cut off on screen.....running ubuntu 11.04. I would edit xorg.conf to add 1024x600 res but it is not there....any solutions? | 18:32 |
| gentoo | blb yа[уq | 18:32 |
| maco | Raven: you don't need to get firefox from a random point on the internet. it's in the repositories as version 5. there is an update available for your ubuntu to get it | 18:32 |
| dualbootah | my world of warcraft crashes saying it encountered a serious error | 18:32 |

| dante123 | ActionParsnip u there? | 18:33 |

| maco | Raven: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next | 18:33 |
| aetas | ActionParsnip, and copy the output instead of screenshot it | 18:33 |
| maco | Raven: the ubuntu mozilla team maintains a repository for the beta, linked above | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: if you make an xorg.conf it will be obeyed | 18:33 |
| dante123 | ikonia, but I don't know what to put in it......everything else works, mouse, synaptics and I dont want to mess that up? Is there a generic I can use? | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | aetas: exactly, very handy | 18:34 |
| maco | Raven: somewhere in software center (sorry, i use kubuntu not ubuntu) there should be a way to add that repository | 18:34 |
| ikonia | dante123: you only put in the stuff you want, if your mouse works, don't put any mouse config in there, the auto detect works fine | 18:35 |
| dante123 | like can you point me to a very generic one that will just add the 1024x600 res while leaving everything else as configured? | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: if you drop to root recovery you can run: Xorg -configure to make a base file. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | dante123: you don't want a generic one, that will conflict with the auto detect stuff, just put in the stuff you want | 18:35 |

| ikonia | dualbootah: not everything works well with wine, hence why #winehq knows all the tricks/tips and known issues | 18:37 |
| Pici | dualbootah: They know more than us about wine issues, its futile to ask in #ubuntu for Wine help. | 18:37 |
| dr_willis | there the wine forums also | 18:38 |

| Gunz4MiPPle | terry its | 19:03 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | grr | 19:03 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" | 19:03 |

| alessioalex | ikonia another thing: every time I install gVim, I don't get any shortcut and I don't get any icon | 19:03 |

| terry | dante123: Have you done: sudo apt-get upgrade Yet? | 19:06 |
| terry | dante123: If not, do so now. And then see what you get. | 19:07 |
| dante123 | terry, originally all worked under 10.04.....then after 10.10 (this is my wife's friends netbook) problem happened. I know that edid on this netbook is not being read....the system defaults to 1024x768 ever since then. So I decided to install 11.04 celan fresh install | 19:07 |
| delac | aetas: seems the popups came back. thanks! | 19:08 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | terry: durp, i thot you mean Nickname, not the name of the nic | 19:08 |
| jerk | can anyone help, then? | 19:08 |
| aetas | dualbootah, pm me | 19:08 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ROLF | 19:08 |
| aetas | delac, awesome :) | 19:08 |
| dante123 | but still resolution is 1024x768 terry, I believe there is soemthing wrong with lcd screen sending incorrect or messed up edid info to the system....hence it does not know that this can support 1024x600.. | 19:08 |
| terry | dante123: Did you use ubuntu-10.04.1 or ubuntu-10.04.2 ? | 19:10 |
| dante123 | 10.10 and upgrade is not part of the problem really, something wrong with edid info and the system does not realize that this lcd monitor can go into 1024x600....I am trying to force it somethow into 1024x600...becase then all will be well in the universe | 19:10 |
| aetas | dante123, any chance you have an nvidia card for it? | 19:10 |
| terry | dante123: It depends on the video driver. | 19:10 |
| ciss | i've enabled verbose output in grub. my 10.04 server freezes after the line: "EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode". any ideas? | 19:11 |
| botthead | hi dudes, one question... does the livecd has an option for load it to ram instead of being a live'cd' ? | 19:11 |
| george__ | aetas: hey, strange, when i click suspend, the random colors appear again, and the light on my caps lock key starts blinking | 19:11 |
| terry | dante123: sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:11 |
| dante123 | terry, this was probably running fine with ubuntu 10.04.1 originally......what the woman did in between me installing 10.04.1 is anyones guess....when she brought it back to me it was 10.10 and rez was messed up....and no, this does not have nvidia graphics....intel | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga | 19:11 |
| ciss | .. the "freezing" being more of a "hanging", since keyboard input is still displayed | 19:11 |
| jerk | thanks anyway | 19:11 |
| aetas | george__, looks like ACPI is confused as hell | 19:12 |
| george__ | aetas: is there a way to fix it?? | 19:12 |
| aetas | george__, what netbook is this? | 19:12 |
| dante123 | ActionParsnip it is intel mobile 845gme | 19:12 |
| dante123 | sorry ActionParsnip intel 945gme | 19:12 |
| terry | Gunz4MiPPle: ROLF ? is that in the output of iwconfig ? | 19:12 |
| george__ | aetas: its an HP Mini 210 1010NR with proprietary driver wl installed | 19:13 |
| botthead | plz, i want to check a dvd md5sum and i really dont want to install it to hd because it will take me a lot of time... and i just need it for doing a simple task... any hints on how to? i dont need x...just a shell whit noX and whit the cd driver available | 19:13 |
| seanzy | how can you resize the icons in the launcher in unity? | 19:13 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | terry: yes, there is something called Nickname, but you meant the adapters name, which is wlan2 | 19:13 |
| george__ | seanzy: a program called ccsm will help u out on that | 19:13 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| dante123 | ActionParsnip how do i get edid info from monitor? | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: you could use the xorg edgers ppa as a very last resort. Its experimental but may fix stuff, may also break stuff but ppa-purge may be able to remove it and reinstall the bad packages | 19:14 |
| botthead | Welll... just like i tought... downloading and burning ubuntu was a waste of time... time to go back to the old 'n reliable rescuecd... thanks for nothing anyway. | 19:14 |
| terry | Gunz4MiPPle: If so: iwconfig wlan2 essid LOVEBOB ; dhclient wlan2 | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: if edid isn't given by default then it doesn't do it | 19:15 |
| terry | Gunz4MiPPle: NIC - Network Interface Card (Sorry I should have said what is the network name for your Wireless Netwrok Interface.) | 19:15 |
| dante123 | ActionParsnip and terry, i really think this problem is with edid because even bios now shows up using 1024x768 instead of 1024x600......something physically messed up...not just drivers | 19:15 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | i shoudl have known thats what you meant | 19:16 |
| terry | dante123: bios shows screensize resolution? | 19:16 |
| mang0 | Guys I found this page whilst trying to sort my graphics tablet out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen But it's for 9.04. Will it still work in 11.04? | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Dante123: that's all i got. Its one reason i always buy nvidia:-) | 19:16 |
| === ZeroOne_ is now known as Zero-One | ||
| dante123 | terry, when booting the computer (my wifes with exact same hardware) and her friends (messed up one) you can see from the bios screen by the location of the dell logo that they are in different resolutions.....so this is PRIOR to any OS running | 19:17 |
| aetas | george__, I can't find anything on google relating to it :( | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Mang0: worth a try. Just be sure you can roll back whatever you do | 19:17 |
| dante123 | Is there a way to access edid information from command line.....? like lspci, or lsusb,,,,some other command? | 19:18 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: I've got no idea how to roll back anything on ubuntu :/ | 19:18 |
| terry | dante123: Then see what you have on your wife's PC and duplicate it. | 19:18 |
| mang0 | are there terminal commands to undo the last command ActionParsnip ? | 19:18 |
| terry | dante123: But did you do apt-get upgrade yet? If not. do so now. Ok? | 19:18 |
| dante123 | terry, wife is running 10.04 and this is running 11.04 so exact duplication is not possible I dont think | 19:18 |
| aetas | george__, I have some stuff to try if you wanna pm me | 19:18 |
| dante123 | terry, already ran update manager after fresh install of 11.04 | 19:19 |
| TheCyph3r | Question: If I use the "sudo su" command, how can I revert OUT of root in that shell? | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Mang0: if a guide tells you to edit a file, make a backup copy somewhere else. Its not ubuntu specific | 19:19 |
| mang0 | ActionParsnip: gotcha, thanks | 19:19 |
| dante123 | terry, why should I run upgrade if I just did a fresh install and updated everything after that (will do it if you really think it will help) | 19:19 |
| th0r | TheCyph3r: exit | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Mang0: if its bad you can simply restore the known good file | 19:20 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm | 19:20 |
| mang0 | yeah, I see. thankyou | 19:20 |
| terry | dante123: Then look at what you have on the wife's and duplicate it on the other one. lsmod will tell you the modules. less /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show you X's log file. | 19:20 |
| dante123 | terry, just ran it and there is nothing to upgrade....already running the latest | 19:20 |
| [THC]AcidRain | how do i get phpbb3 to relay with my email? i was sure this thing was working 2 months ago | 19:20 |
| alex-- | how can i get something like this? : http://84.27.25.180/images/eth0-day.png | 19:20 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but now im getting emails saying relay access denied | 19:20 |
| ikonia | [THC]AcidRain: check the phpbb forums | 19:20 |
| Arcademan | May I ask is there a way to disable the unity dock in Ubuntu 11.04 :) | 19:20 |
| terry | dante123: You run upgrade to make sure all packages are up to date. | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Dante123: if you run Natty in a live cd, is it ok? | 19:21 |
| ikonia | [THC]AcidRain: your MTA needs to have your domain setup in the smtp relay parameter | 19:21 |
| th0r | alex--: nagios? | 19:21 |
| dante123 | terry, i compared the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the main difference I see is around edid (wife's computer lists make of monitor etc.) and resolution modes | 19:21 |
| alex-- | what does nagios does? | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !classic |arcademan | 19:21 |
| ubottu | arcademan: 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". | 19:21 |
| th0r | alex--: http://84.27.25.180/images/eth0-day.png | 19:21 |
| alex-- | i mean | 19:21 |
| alex-- | is it a webpage? | 19:21 |
| alex-- | webapp? | 19:21 |
| alex-- | program? | 19:21 |
| FloodBot1 | alex--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !info nagios | 19:22 |
| terry | dante123: what you are looking for is the video driver. | 19:22 |
| ubottu | Package nagios does not exist in natty | 19:22 |
| alex-- | does it needs a gui? | 19:22 |
| ikonia | alex--: it's overkill for you, it's a full monitoring suite | 19:22 |
| Arcademan | Is there another way without changing to gnome classic :) | 19:22 |
| alex-- | why overkill? | 19:22 |
| th0r | alex--: it is an app you install on a server. It collects snmp data from network nodes and creates those graphs from that data | 19:22 |
| dante123 | ActionParsnip, no, same thing. Runs in 1024x768 no matter what livecd, ubuntu, BIOS | 19:22 |
| ikonia | alex--: because it's a full enterprise monitoring tool that needs to be installed, setup and maintained, and you just want a graph for your network card | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Terry: intel drivers are part of a default install | 19:22 |
| dante123 | well not bios setup, but logo screen before booting | 19:22 |
| alex-- | ikonia: i also want to see where traffic goes to | 19:23 |
| terry | ActionParsnip: Ok, good info. | 19:23 |
| dwatkins | alex--: that screenshot looks like "MRTG", it needs no GUI and can run in the background | 19:23 |
| ikonia | alex--: nagios won't do that | 19:23 |
| Arcademan | Is there a dockable weather App in unity :) may I ask where the extension are placed | 19:23 |
| alex-- | is it nagios or MRGT? | 19:24 |
| alex-- | !info MRGT | 19:24 |
| ubottu | Package MRGT does not exist in natty | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: I've used puppy Linux in the past to make an xorg.conf file then copied it to my installed ubuntu | 19:24 |
| dante123 | terry, the driver is same as my wifes computer.....intel 945 gme.....the problem is that the monitor is not detected properly.....it does not recognize what the monitor can do.....refresh rates,resolutions etc.....becasue I believe there is a hardware problem....what i am trying to do is force it into 1024x600 | 19:24 |
| bbird1999 | !! | 19:24 |
| th0r | alex--: that is mrtg | 19:25 |
| alex-- | is mrtg easier? | 19:25 |
| dante123 | ActionParnsip, I have used puppy like that too......aside from the fact that I do not have puppy on usb handy....though....I think solution will come from editing existing xorg.conf to get the resolutiion we need. | 19:26 |
| terry | dante123: I do not think you can force it to use 1024x600 Unless the driver software says you can, it's not gonna happen. xrandr - what you see is what you get. Unless you can run a different driver or a diferent kernel that has built in driver that will support it. | 19:26 |
| jakemp | It would be nice if ubuntu one had something set up so that I could use it to communicate(something like ssh or http) with all of my other ubuntu machines wherever I was. | 19:26 |
| aetas | dante123, edit xorg.conf? | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: xorg.conf will tell it. The screen/video chip just isn't playing well with your version of xorg | 19:28 |
| dante123 | terry, u r probably right, but I have edited xorg.conf before on another system where acer monitor did not give the edid info correctly and by having refresh rate and resolutions in there....was able to get it to display res i wanted | 19:28 |
| terry | dante123: was that with a CRT monitor? | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jakemp: you can. I do it e every day. Just use port forwarding. Different port forwarding to each host | 19:29 |
| alexleon | ugh this new frostwire sucks -.- there is a program like frostwire but the old one? | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnutella | alexleon | 19:30 |
| ubottu | alexleon: Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P | 19:30 |
| dante123 | ActionParsnip, then how do you explain that bios spash screen display differently on the exact same netbooks......something has happened to this pc itself...where even spash screens appear different (whereas when they were first purchased were identical) | 19:30 |
| jakemp | yeah, ActionParsnip but something a bit more seamless and easier. I can set up a shared directory between all of my machines, but Ubuntu one is so much easier | 19:30 |
| alexleon | i wanna download sigle mp3's | 19:30 |
| jakemp | It just seems like a good next step | 19:31 |
| aetas | alexleon, telling us the feature you're looking for is probably better | 19:31 |
| dante123 | terry, that was a monitor that was NOT crt but ubuntu detected it as such.......again edid issues | 19:31 |
| alex-- | what's the difference between ubuntu server 32 bit and ubuntu server 64 bit? | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | dante123: the bios is its own thing. So will always show the splash. It will even shos it if you installed ubuntu server which has no graphical desktop at a | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | All | 19:31 |
| terry | alex--: 32bit libraries in one, 64bit libraries in the other. | 19:32 |
| alex-- | nothing else ? | 19:32 |
| alexleon | aetas the old frostwire used to show wich one is mp3 but the new one doesnt it shows only bog torrents i wanna find songs one by one | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | alex--: 64 bit will only run on 64 bit cpu. 32bit will run both | 19:32 |
| alex-- | and about ram? | 19:33 |
| terry | alex--: More than that, different kernel etc. | 19:33 |
| alex-- | windows had some problem only couldn't take 3 gb ram | 19:33 |
| dante123 | ActionParsnip, how do you explain how a computer that once had Dell Logo on bootup centred in the middle of screen, suddenly has it lowered and cut off? Hardware issue...that happens to correspond with display issues that came up in ubuntu. | 19:33 |
| joshmc | alex--: that may be limited by the model of your processor, maybe not | 19:33 |
| === MoMo__ is now known as MoMo | ||
| alex-- | intel i7 | 19:33 |
| alex-- | i dont know which one | 19:33 |
| Aleuck | hello, i'm working with ubuntu server and i need a qemu-kvm virtual machine to use the eth0 on bridge.. how is this possible? | 19:33 |
| joshmc | alex--: well, then it's not likely limited by that, haha | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | jakemp: you could forward to one system, then have that system mount the other systems. Acting as a center | 19:34 |
| dante123 | Im saying that if you ran windows or anything else on this computer.......the screen is going to go into 1024x768 now (for some unknown reason) when it used to go 1024x600 | 19:34 |
| alex-- | why is 64 bit recommend then? | 19:34 |
| jakemp | any modern CPU is 64 bit, except atoms | 19:34 |
| jakemp | anything newere than a pentium | 19:34 |
| jakemp | 4 | 19:34 |
| edbian | Me CPU is modern! | 19:34 |
| edbian | And it's 32 bits! :D | 19:35 |
| shj | hi! guys! | 19:35 |
| terry | dante123: I suppose you could try to create an xorg.conf file while running the LiveCD and then copy it to /etc/X11/ on the HD. Use X -configure See what happens. | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Dante: the bios splash would show even if you had no OS installed at all. It means nothing | 19:35 |
| terry | dante123: Does the LiveCD show porper resolution? | 19:35 |
| aetas | terry, why can't he edit the one he has? | 19:35 |
| terry | aetas: He can. | 19:35 |
| jakemp | edbian, what CPU is that? | 19:35 |
| edbian | jakemp: Intel Celeron D from 2007 | 19:35 |
| jakemp | okay, modern non celeron CPU | 19:36 |
| xibalba | ActionParsnip , you've helped me out before and seemed knowledgable. do you know if it's possible to have 2 sets of bonded NICs? | 19:36 |
| Spikestuff | Hi, how do I change my workstation or computer name on Ubuntu 11.04? | 19:36 |
| aetas | terry, so what was the reason for the liveCD one? I haven't been able to keep track | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jakemp: is my core2duo 1 | 19:36 |
| alex-- | what are the cons and tons of me taking 64 bit ubuntu? | 19:36 |
| === bangfoo is now known as bangfoo_ | ||
| alex-- | because i have a problem with starting and compiling mta server on ubuntu 64 bit | 19:36 |
| dante123 | terry, the livecd goes into 1024x768 on this system.....so basically that is pointless | 19:36 |
| alex-- | because the program itself is 32 bit | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | 1.2ghz dual core modern? | 19:36 |
| edbian | alex--: cons and tons? | 19:36 |
| xibalba | ActionParsnip , if it's n atom | 19:36 |
| aetas | alex--, 32bit binaries can run fine | 19:36 |
| terry | dante123: Ok then create one from your wire's PC. | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | xibalba: its a | 19:37 |
| jakemp | what c2d? I thought they were all 64 bit? | 19:37 |
| === bangfoo_ is now known as bangfoo | ||
| ActionParsnip | An intel | 19:37 |
| alex-- | advantages and disadvantages | 19:37 |
| xibalba | has anyone in t his chan now dont nic-bnding? | 19:37 |
| alex-- | i can't get my mta server running aetas | 19:37 |
| xibalba | nic-bindongi* | 19:37 |
| jakemp | also, edbian pentium D is netburst architecture, so that is splitting hairs | 19:37 |
| terry | dante123: Create one on the wife's PC, test it, see if it works over there, then copy it to the other one and try it. | 19:37 |
| dante123 | terry, now that makes sense | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | alex--: i suggest you research what 64bit is | 19:38 |
| edbian | jakemp: It's not a pentium. but who's splitter hairs now? | 19:38 |
| aetas | alex--, ok well you obviously compiled it fine so what happens when you run it? | 19:38 |
| edbian | spittling* | 19:38 |
| Aleuck | I need to bridge my qemu virtual machine's network, can anyone help me? | 19:38 |
| alex-- | no i'm stuck in compiling | 19:38 |

| blackhawk | rescue>" or something like that,i had to reinstall ubuntu and everything came back alive,i think it is a problem between the two booting managers of windows and ubuntu,so is there something to unify both of them so this won't happen again??!! | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jamesbond2: yes | 19:39 |
| jakemp | heh close enough | 19:39 |

| ikonia | alex--: the root account is locked, you shouldn't be able to be root | 19:40 |
| alex-- | then i have enough privileges | 19:40 |
| alex-- | no it's not | 19:40 |
| alex-- | i changed the password of it | 19:40 |
| alex-- | and now i can access it | 19:41 |
| ikonia | alex--: then you should know what you're doing | 19:41 |
| alex-- | otherwise i can't edit my websites | 19:41 |
| ikonia | alex--: if you know enough to change the password on root, so you know better than the ubuntu developers | 19:41 |
| ikonia | alex--: yes, you can, that's what sudo and permissions changes are for | 19:41 |

| Stockholm_Angel | TURN ON THE NEWS NOW huge explosion and attack in norway | 19:46 |
| alex-- | every time when i run it i get permission denied or segmentation fault | 19:47 |
| alex-- | so some guy in mta support said to me: compile it again | 19:47 |
| ikonia | alex--: the mta site says it's binary files, you don't compile it | 19:47 |
| edbian | ikonia: How do you know it was a lie? | 19:47 |
| dr_willis | alex--: and how are you running it? | 19:47 |
| alex-- | every time when i run it i get permission denied or segmentation fault, so some guy in mta support said to me: compile it again | 19:47 |
| alex-- | ./mta-server | 19:47 |
| ikonia | edbian: didn't say it was a lie | 19:47 |
| edbian | ikonia: Just OT for the channel? | 19:47 |
| alex-- | dr_willis: ./mta-server | 19:47 |
| dr_willis | alex--: its a windows app. use wine. | 19:48 |
| alex-- | it's not a windows app | 19:48 |
| alex-- | it's for linux | 19:48 |
| ikonia | edbian: yup, and it happens with this user all the time | 19:48 |
| shj | edbian : mmm.... i got this from additional dirvers (NVIDIA graphic driver (version current) [recommended ] | 19:48 |
| alex-- | :\ | 19:48 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: there is a windows erver too | 19:48 |
| dr_willis | then chmod +x it. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | dr_willis: linux sorry | 19:48 |
| alex-- | i already did | 19:48 |
| shj | edbian : is this helpful | 19:48 |
| ikonia | alex--: ok - so the file is a binary file, you don't need to compile it | 19:48 |
| dr_willis | alex--: you on 32 or 64bit? | 19:48 |
| alex-- | alex--every time when i run it i get permission denied or segmentation fault, so some guy in mta support said to me: compile it again | 19:48 |
| alex-- | 64 bit | 19:48 |
| edbian | shj: It's too vague. I need you to use sudo lspci -k to see which driver is being used. | 19:48 |
| dr_willis | alex--: it may be a 32bit binary. | 19:48 |
| ikonia | alex--: ok, so you know it's for a 32bit OS | 19:48 |
| Galaxor | I have some java source code. I want to compile it down to native code and put it on a machine that doesn't have gcj or java installed, so I figured I'd compile it statically. But I don't have libgcj.a. Is there any package that contains that file, or do I have to build it myself? | 19:48 |
| alex-- | ikonia: yes | 19:49 |
| alex-- | it is a 32 bit binary | 19:49 |
| ikonia | alex--: the website says "The package is built on and for 32bit systems. | 19:49 |
| ikonia | alex--: it's quite clear | 19:49 |
| alex-- | and? | 19:49 |
| alex-- | how to run it? | 19:49 |
| shj | edbian : VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS 110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1) | 19:49 |
| shj | Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0110 | 19:49 |
| acicula | Galaxor: apt-file might help you locate the package i think | 19:49 |
| dr_willis | !find libgcj.a | 19:49 |
| shj | Kernel driver in use: nvidia | 19:49 |
| frank123 | hello I am having issues with the "mute" key. "volume-up" and "volume-down" works well, but with the update "mute" does not work no more. The hardware is a thinkpad sl 510. xev does not recieve signals from the key. before the update it worked. | 19:49 |
| shj | Kernel modules: nvidia-current, nouveau, nvidiafb | 19:49 |
| acicula | !find apt-file | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Package/file libgcj.a does not exist in natty | 19:49 |
| ubottu | Found: apt-file | 19:49 |
| Tigerboy | Regarding Gnome 2 how to I change settings like make it so I can single-click an icon on the desktop to launch it | 19:49 |
| edbian | Galaxor: any java code requires the JVM (java) to run. That is the point of java actually. | 19:49 |
| aetas | alex--, I thought this was something you compiled. its a 32bit binary they gave ya? | 19:50 |
| frank123 | here I found a tutorial, about kernel modification how it could be fixed, but it seems to complicated for me. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/SL_Driver_on_Ubuntu | 19:50 |
| Galaxor | acicula: Cool, thanks. | 19:50 |
| alex-- | yes it is | 19:50 |
| alex-- | but some guy said: compile it yourself | 19:50 |
| frank123 | can you please fix the kernel for this hardware in the next update? | 19:50 |
| ikonia | alex--: so a.) it's not a compile you're trying to do b.) it's a 32bit binary running on a 64bit system | 19:50 |
| alex-- | so i'm trying to | 19:50 |
| edbian | shj: So kernel driver in use is nvidia :) | 19:50 |
| ikonia | alex--: ok then ask that guy for support | 19:50 |
| alex-- | he's gone | 19:50 |
| alex-- | nobody answering | 19:50 |
| Spikestuff | Now once I edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and perform the hostname command, should I reboot to implement the changes? | 19:50 |
| Galaxor | edbian: not if you compile it to native code with gcj. That is the point of gcj. | 19:50 |
| ikonia | alex--: I'm looking at the dependencies on the package and I don't think it's going to work on 11.04 | 19:50 |
| alex-- | all offtopic talk | 19:50 |
| edbian | shj: the first thing you said is just the card which is useful because it has the number 7300 :) | 19:50 |
| shj | edbian : yes! but i cant run unity! | 19:50 |
| dr_willis | !hostname | Spikestuff | 19:50 |
| ubottu | Spikestuff: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 19:50 |
| alex-- | ikonia: i have 10.04 lts 64 bit | 19:50 |
| TheCyph3r | what does unity have over standard gnome? | 19:50 |
| edbian | Galaxor: OH RLY?! :D | 19:51 |
| Spikestuff | I already did that, dr_willis, but my hostname is still the same. | 19:51 |
| ikonia | alex--: Hmmm it looks like it's designed for 32bit systems, which is why it's built for 32bit stuff | 19:51 |
| dante123 | terry, u still there? | 19:51 |
| edbian | shj: Yes, I know that. Hang on I have to look something up. | 19:51 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: well 'standard' gnome (aka gnome2) is being phased out. | 19:51 |
| ikonia | alex--: the dependencies suggest it's not going to build 64bit | 19:51 |
| dr_willis | Spikestuff: you missed a step then i am guessing. | 19:51 |
| shj | edbian : sure! thanks! for trying :) | 19:51 |
| alex-- | ikonia: how to make it work then? | 19:51 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: Why?? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | alex--: use it on a 32bit system, | 19:51 |
| dr_willis | Spikestuff: do the changes then reboot. | 19:51 |
| aetas | alex--, whats the link for this thing? | 19:52 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: the gnome devs have decided to move on. | 19:52 |
| alex-- | i dont have 32 bit installation | 19:52 |
| alex-- | aetas: http://linux.mtasa.com/ | 19:52 |
| frank123 | http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/SL_Driver_on_Ubuntu | 19:52 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: boo...maybe I'll just stick with 10.04 forever :P | 19:52 |
| ikonia | aetas: has quite good documentation | 19:52 |
| Tigerboy | anyone know what file or program to use for gnome 2 settings? | 19:52 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: btw, I found a way to rename all of those pictures very quickly | 19:52 |
| edbian | shj: Could you put the output of sudo lspci -k and sudo lsmod into this website and give me the link it give you? http://paste.ubuntu.com | 19:52 |
| TheCyph3r | dr_willis: Thunar File Manager did the job :-) | 19:52 |
| edbian | shj: This is called pastebin | 19:52 |
| dr_willis | TheCyph3r: rox-filer has similer features. | 19:53 |
| aetas | alex--, lol this is mta? I used to work on it :p | 19:53 |
| shj | edbian : sure just a minute! | 19:53 |
| alex-- | aetas: what do you mean? | 19:53 |
| Tigerboy | anyone can use standard gnome by just choosing classic decktop after you click the username in the log on screen | 19:53 |
| aetas | alex--, <-- programmer | 19:53 |
| dante123 | how to get out of gui and drop into command line to run sudo Xorg -configure ?????? | 19:54 |
| alex-- | you are mta sa programmer? | 19:54 |
| edbian | shj: thanks | 19:54 |
| edbian | dante123: ctrl + alt + F1 | 19:54 |
| shj | edbian : do you want the full output or just the one related to the graphic card!? | 19:54 |
| aetas | alex--, I used to help them with it but it was years ago | 19:54 |
| edbian | shj: The whole thing | 19:54 |
| edbian | shj: Easier for you :) | 19:54 |
| alex-- | :) | 19:54 |
| alex-- | can you help me out now? | 19:54 |
| shj | edbian : :) ok! | 19:54 |
| aetas | alex--, I have 64bit too, lemme try my luck | 19:54 |
| aetas | alex--, The MTA:SA server currently cannot be properly compiled in 64-bit mode. Instead, you should compile it in 32-bit mode and run it using 32-bit compatibility mode (use the -m32 flag). | 19:56 |
| shj | edbian : here is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/650198/ | 19:56 |
| edbian | shj: reading... | 19:56 |
| alex-- | ./mta-server -m32 ? | 19:56 |
| edbian | shj: Missing the output of sudo lsmod :) Can I get another one with that in it? | 19:57 |
| acicula | aetas: not all 32bit dependencies might be available though? | 19:57 |
| CharlieM2304 | Hi everyone! does anyone recommend me any firewall software to control the local network? | 19:58 |
| aetas | acicula, yeah you need the 32bit libraries | 19:58 |
| shj | edbian : sure! here it is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650199/ | 19:58 |
| edbian | shj: No. That's sudo lspci -k I need sudo lsmod | 19:59 |
| shj | edbian : oh! sorry! | 19:59 |
| Darkfd | anyone know where ubuntu-tweak is hiding on irc? | 19:59 |
| edbian | shj: It's k | 19:59 |
| acicula | aetas: yeah but i mean on 64bit pnly some libs are repackaged as 32bit, so any nonstandard dependencies youd need to add | 19:59 |
| Aleuck | Hi, I have a host ubuntu server with ubuntu serveras guest OS... I need to start the guest OS on qemu-kvm in network bridging mode. can anyone help me? | 19:59 |
| acicula | Aleuck: look up libvirt, that makes doing that pretty easy, detailed documentation on how to setup bridging on the libvirt site as well | 20:00 |
| aetas | acicula, it runs on my 64big | 20:00 |
| shj | edbian : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650201/ .... hopefully that's what u want! :) | 20:00 |
| aetas | t | 20:00 |
| edbian | shj: Your username and computer name are strange | 20:00 |
| joeseph | I'm trying to setup sftp. I have ssh and ftp setup. What resource is avaliable for a tutorial/walkthrough? I'm having trouble googling one. | 20:00 |
| edbian | shj: Yes that's the correct pastebin | 20:00 |
| edbian | thanks | 20:01 |
| shj | edbian : yes! i will change later! :) i guess! | 20:01 |
| balakrishna | hi | 20:02 |
| edbian | shj: let's try removing the open source driver and reboot ok? sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:02 |
| dualbootah | how do i find my flash drive in ubuntu | 20:03 |
| shj | edbian : so remove current driver and run that command? | 20:03 |
| aetas | acicula, we got it working, not sure what he was doing but its ok | 20:04 |
| edbian | shj: Running the command removes the open source driver nouveau It is generally a good idea to have exactly 1 driver installed at a time. The restart the machine. We're going to try to test out the nvidia-current proprietary driver (which does support your card) | 20:05 |
| shj | edbian : ops! i just removed it! | 20:06 |
| edbian | shj: Which did you remove? | 20:06 |
| edbian | shj: What command did you run? | 20:06 |
| Kazisho | >mfw Americans call a tutti frutti point and shooty a "gun" | 20:06 |
| shj | edbian : i used "additional drivers" | 20:06 |
| edbian | shj: That's fine. sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 20:07 |
| edbian | shj: I don't like using that 'additional drivers' gui because it is buggy and a liar :P | 20:07 |
| shj | edbian : i runed the command : sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:07 |
| edbian | shj: good, so we don't have to do that agian. | 20:07 |
| edbian | shj: restart then | 20:07 |
| shj | edbian : ok | 20:08 |
| slim_gaza | hey guys is 11.04 any good yet, i tried it wen if first came out but unity just made me revert plus i have an acer timeline 4810 so it isn't powerful | 20:08 |
| edbian | slim_gaza: unity runs great on my netbook. One of it's strong suits is small screens. | 20:09 |
| slim_gaza | edbian, so i take 11.04 is stable? | 20:10 |
| edbian | slim_gaza: Not as stable as 10.04 or Debian | 20:10 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, has one would say, "stable...ish" | 20:10 |
| slim_gaza | edbian, PhoenixSTF ah! i'll just stick to my good o 10.10 | 20:11 |
| shj | edbian : nothing has changed! | 20:11 |
| edbian | slim_gaza: sure :) | 20:11 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, thats a bad choice | 20:11 |
| edbian | shj: alright so nvidia-current does not help (I didn't expect it to) | 20:11 |
| edbian | shj: We have many more options. Before we switch drivers can you give me the output of dmesg in a pastebin? | 20:11 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, but if it holds until the 12.04 comes out | 20:11 |
| slim_gaza | PhoenixSTF, why is it bad? | 20:12 |
| edbian | shj: Then sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current and sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 and restart again | 20:12 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, i think 10.10 has only 1 year or 2 of updates qhile the LTS has 3 or 4 | 20:12 |
| ikonia | non LTS version have 18 months, LTS versions have 3 years on the desktop 5 on the server | 20:12 |
| acicula | slim_gaza: no its not, though it seems not everyone agrees with the choice of windowmanager, but you can just use the classic gnome look if you want | 20:12 |
| shj | edbian : sure! | 20:13 |
| slim_gaza | PhoenixSTF, oh | 20:13 |
| acicula | as in,its not bad | 20:13 |
| edbian | shj: awesome | 20:13 |
| slim_gaza | acicula, okay, i'll give it a spin | 20:13 |
| PhoenixSTF | ikonia, thanks for the info ;) | 20:13 |
| acicula | PhoenixSTF: 18 months for normal, 3 year for LTS, 5 year for Server | 20:13 |
| PhoenixSTF | 11.04 its good but if it is a production entreprise enviroment i would stick to a lts | 20:14 |
| shj | edbian : here is the link : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650209/ | 20:14 |
| acicula | oh ikonia posted that already, nvm | 20:14 |
| edbian | shj: k, not runt he apt-get commands and reboot while I read. | 20:14 |
| PhoenixSTF | acicula, all server versions? | 20:14 |
| acicula | PhoenixSTF: no just LTS | 20:14 |
| edbian | shj: wait | 20:14 |
| edbian | shj: there is a whole bunch of stuff about nouveau in here. I thought we purged that? | 20:14 |
| PhoenixSTF | acicula, ty :) | 20:14 |
| edbian | shj: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:15 |
| dante123 | if i want ubuntu 11.04 to use xorg.conf file.......do I put it in etc/X11 or is there a new place it needs to be for 11.04? | 20:15 |
| acicula | dante123: same old place | 20:15 |
| edbian | dante123: /etc/X11 :) | 20:16 |
| shj | edbian : ok! | 20:16 |
| slim_gaza | fresh install or upgrade which is better? | 20:16 |
| edbian | shj: ok, so what was installed and what was removed? | 20:16 |
| PhoenixSTF | dante123, ususaly those things dont change on ubuntu/debian | 20:16 |
| slim_gaza | got my stuff on dropbox anyway | 20:16 |
| acicula | slim_gaza: id just upgrade | 20:16 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, IMO fresh... but safe upgrade will do the trick but a lot of trash will be acumulated | 20:17 |
| terry | dante123: No, that's the right place. | 20:17 |
| slim_gaza | acicula, PhoenixSTF thanks | 20:17 |
| terry | /etc/X11 | 20:17 |
| shj | edbian : nothing removed as nivida was not found! and nivida-137is still in download ... slow connection! | 20:18 |
| slim_gaza | Is it only me, or are u guys tempted by the new macs and lion? | 20:18 |
| acicula | slim_gaza: some cruft will remain when you upgrade, but its marginally mostly, i survived 6 consequtive upgrades without any adverse effects. just gotta watch out if you have customized things like nvidia drivers installed by hand | 20:18 |
| PhoenixSTF | slim_gaza, im with acicula on this one, safe-upgrade it, if you fell it isnt good just fresh install | 20:18 |
| edbian | shj: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau This needs to happen. Did it? | 20:18 |
| edbian | shj: without errors? | 20:18 |
| slim_gaza | aright guys thanks, upgrading now | 20:18 |
| rww | slim_gaza: It's just you and #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:18 |
| PhoenixSTF | LOL | 20:19 |
| dante123 | terry, okay i think i made a xorg.conf from my wifes computer and ubuntu 11.04 livecd.....will try same file on the other computer | 20:19 |
| slim_gaza | haha very funny rww | 20:19 |
| shj | edbian : home@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current | 20:19 |

| ANdrw | _12321 | 20:20 |
| acicula | slim_gaza: take a hint when its offered? | 20:20 |
| shj | floodbot1 : sure! sorry for that! | 20:21 |
| edbian | shj: I don't care about those extra packages right now. We'll clean them all up when we're done. Did you do this: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 20:21 |
| slim_gaza | acicula, sure just mocking about | 20:21 |
| slim_gaza | thanks anyways for the info guys | 20:22 |
| acicula | slim_gaza: thats what -offtopic is for ;) | 20:22 |
| shj | edbian : just a moment its installing nvida-173 now! | 20:22 |
| edbian | shj: k | 20:23 |
| shj | edbian : ok! i ran the command | 20:23 |
| blackhawk | is the grub app come already installed in ubuntu? | 20:23 |
| aetas | guys whats the command that brings up an ncurses dialog that you can implement in a shell script? cant remember the name :/ | 20:23 |
| edbian | shj: ok, so nvidia-173 is installed. and nouveau is purged? | 20:23 |
| aetas | it was like "dialog" or something | 20:23 |
| edbian | shj: restart and if it doesn't work then give me dmesg in a pastebin again | 20:24 |

| alex-- | rww: The program 'dialog' is currently not installed. | 20:25 |
| aetas | lol yeah I guess it is | 20:25 |
| rww | aetas: looks like it is to me :| | 20:25 |
| rww | alex--: and? | 20:25 |
| shj | edbian : it says : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is not installed, so not removed | 20:25 |
| alex-- | is there any other way | 20:25 |
| alex-- | by not installing it? | 20:25 |
| xibalba | hey guys | 20:25 |
| aetas | alex--, ok alex yeah do read | 20:25 |
| xibalba | has anyone here done dual nic-bonding | 20:25 |
| edbian | shj: strange... ok restart and give me the output of dmesg again | 20:25 |
| rww | ,lastlog alex-- | 20:25 |
| xibalba | like having a bond0 and bond1 interface? | 20:25 |
| alex-- | read? | 20:25 |
| rww | eep | 20:25 |
| alex-- | or dialog? | 20:25 |
| Caelum | What is the windows installer? Does it run ubuntu in some sort of VM? Is it better than using VirtualBox? | 20:25 |
| xibalba | anybody? | 20:25 |
| shj | edbian : | 20:25 |
| aetas | alex--, dialog draws a little ncurses GUI but if they're not shipping it default then use read | 20:25 |
| edbian | shj: restart and give me dmesg and lspci -k and lsmod | 20:25 |
| xibalba | i've been asking for hours here, but too much data flies by | 20:25 |
| shj | edbian : ok! | 20:25 |
| alex-- | i just want plain text | 20:25 |
| edbian | shj: k great | 20:25 |
| alex-- | not a dialog | 20:25 |
| aetas | alex--, read | 20:25 |
| rww | Caelum: no, it runs Ubuntu on the actual hardware with the root partition mounted to a loopback filesystem in C:\wubi | 20:25 |
| terry | dante123: See my pm | 20:25 |
| RobinJ | what the shit? | 20:26 |
| xibalba | i've also posted to the mailing list, but my email has gone through yet | 20:26 |
| Caelum | rww: oh I see, thank you | 20:26 |
| RobinJ | ubuntu just froze.... how can i flter all those useless crap out of my dmesg logs? | 20:26 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, in terminal? | 20:26 |
| RobinJ | i need to see what caused the error, not things about my wireless | 20:26 |
| RobinJ | Phoenix6780: GUI or terminal, doesnt matter | 20:27 |
| dante123 | terry see my reply | 20:27 |
| edbian | RobinJ: It puts most recent stuff at the bottom of dmesg. There is a time stamp next to it. The freeze is probably the most recent thing. | 20:27 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, cat "File" | grep "parameter you are searching for" | 20:27 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, example, cat /var/log/secure | grep login | 20:28 |
| RobinJ | ed1703: only the timestamps arent readable to human beings xd | 20:28 |
| aetas | RobinJ, so "dmesg | grep login" | 20:28 |
| RobinJ | parameter...what parameter | 20:28 |
| edbian | RobinJ: They're second from when the computer started. | 20:28 |
| xibalba | is there a more advanced ubuntu channel | 20:28 |
| xibalba | where someone could answer this? | 20:28 |
| xibalba | #ubuntu-server is quiet, no one responds | 20:28 |
| ikonia | xibalba: why do you need a more advanced channel | 20:28 |
| acicula | xibalba: do you have a specific question? | 20:28 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, parameter is hwat are you lokiin for in the line, if it says Login, Robin, Error or something | 20:28 |
| aetas | xibalba, you can ask but let em know in advance so you don't get chased out | 20:29 |
| xibalba | ikonia , acicula , yes i do have a specific question | 20:29 |
| ikonia | xibalba: this channel is more than capable of answering simple things like nic bonding | 20:29 |
| ikonia | xibalba: then ask it | 20:29 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, try the example i told you you get the picture | 20:29 |
| RobinJ | Phoenix6780: i know how grep works...... but how do i know whats important in the dmesg logs | 20:29 |
| xibalba | ikonia , let me repost my whole Q. I started asking a few hours ago, can you hang on just a moment?. | 20:29 |
| ikonia | yes | 20:29 |
| blackhawk | anyone know if grub is preinstalled in ubuntu? | 20:29 |
| xibalba | ikonia , this is my interface config from /etc/network/interface -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/650125/ | 20:30 |
| acicula | blackhawk: its installed during installation yes | 20:30 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, your computer crashed? try searching for the time it whent down! | 20:30 |
| xibalba | i have also tried using - inplace of _ | 20:30 |
| justine777w | Hello. I just downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 to my dell laptop but my wireless is disabled and I am unable to click on it to enable it. I do not know why this is happening. Help? | 20:30 |
| xibalba | so putting - did the trick, however only bond0 come up | 20:30 |
| ikonia | xibalba: ok | 20:30 |
| PhoenixSTF | RobinJ, sorry but i dont Know more hoe to do it. | 20:30 |
| xibalba | and bond0 is showing it's down and in a RoundRobin setup, when I'm trying for fail over | 20:30 |
| blackhawk | good,so it over writes the windows boot manager | 20:30 |
| RobinJ | would be around 22:27... but the dmesg timestamps arent actually timestamps as human beings would write them down are they | 20:30 |
| shj | edbian : nothing has changed! dmesg output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650215/ | 20:30 |
| Daghdha | I am streaming a video from my unbuntu over SMB. runs fine. Untill i delete a file from the same volume remotely. Then it stops untill the the disks from my raid have wakened. Sound familar/logical? | 20:31 |
| blackhawk | then why did i had problems booting | 20:31 |
| acicula | justine777w: can you try connecting a cable and let ubuntu update first? | 20:31 |
| ikonia | xibalba: how are you trying to fail it over ? | 20:31 |
| Daghdha | the raid is a totally different volume. | 20:31 |
| acicula | blackhawk: idk, what do you see at boot? | 20:31 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i'm trying to use bond-mode 1, ut it looks like is defaulting to bond mode 0 | 20:32 |
| justine777w | acicula: yes, i updated and everything as well as restarted. it still does not work. | 20:32 |
| ikonia | xibalba: what makes you think that | 20:32 |
| xibalba | i can only do screen captures now because i only have IPMI access | 20:32 |
| shj | edbian : and lsmod : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650217/ | 20:32 |
| xibalba | ikonia , how do you propose i uplaod some screen shots? | 20:32 |
| ikonia | xibalba: I don't want screen shots | 20:32 |
| ikonia | xibalba: I want to know why you think it's running in mode 0 | 20:32 |
| acicula | justine777w: does the Additional driver tool list a driver for the wireless? | 20:32 |
| edbian | shj: reading... | 20:32 |
| blackhawk | acicula it gives me "error" and "grub rescue" | 20:33 |
| xibalba | ikonia , ok. I checked /proc/net/bonding/bond0 | 20:33 |
| xibalba | i cat'd that file. | 20:33 |
| ikonia | xibalba: and it shows mode 0 ? | 20:33 |
| edbian | he quit | 20:33 |
| edbian | wow | 20:33 |
| blackhawk | just black screen with those | 20:33 |
| edbian | shj: You're back | 20:33 |
| acicula | blackhawk: did you install on a usb disk? | 20:33 |
| blackhawk | yes | 20:33 |
| edbian | shj: I am NO CLUE why nouveau is running instead of nvidia. It isn't even installed! Can I see sudo lspci -k please? | 20:33 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i guess not it's saying "bonding Mode: faul-tolerance (active-backup)" | 20:34 |
| blackhawk | no,sorry,i did it FROM a usb | 20:34 |
| xibalba | so that is correctly setting bond-mode 1 | 20:34 |
| edbian | Why is nouveau running on shj's system even though he has purged xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ?? | 20:34 |
| ikonia | xibalba: right, so it's running in the right mode | 20:34 |
| justine777w | acicula: where can I find that? I know I have wireless on this laptop. I had 10.10 before but it crashed so I installed 10.04. Now the wireless will not work. I had to do something before when I had 10.10 but I do not remember what it was, | 20:34 |
| xibalba | ikonia , ok well that sa good start from where i was before | 20:34 |
| boywonder | hi,im trying to recover some hd space on a win partition,ive currently got the un partitioned space/formated,can anyone point me in the right direction of what i need todo or use gparted is proving un realiable? | 20:34 |
| xibalba | but my bond1 interface is not found | 20:34 |
| shj | edbian : i had a connection problem >> sure! | 20:34 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i tried ifconfg bond1 | 20:34 |
| xibalba | and it says no device | 20:34 |
| edbian | shj: what? | 20:35 |
| alex-- | how to prompt a user in ubuntu server | 20:35 |
| edbian | shj: oh, with you quitting and joining? | 20:35 |
| alex-- | echo, and if he presses y then do thing1 | 20:35 |
| ikonia | xibalba: does ifconfig show eth2 and 3 ? | 20:35 |
| alex-- | and if he presses n then do thing2 | 20:35 |
| alex-- | how | 20:35 |
| ikonia | alex--: that's not very easy to do | 20:35 |
| acicula | blackhawk: are there multiple partitions on that disk? probably a bios issue preventing grub from seeing its boot files at boot, i had it too, solved it by making a small partition holding /boot at the start of the disk. it still gives errors but will boot (eventually) | 20:35 |
| shj | edbian : here is the output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650219/ | 20:35 |
| alex-- | ikonia: any other way? | 20:35 |
| alex-- | because i want to ask the user if he want's to edit | 20:35 |
| edbian | shj: reading... | 20:36 |
| alex-- | otherwise lets continue the script | 20:36 |
| ikonia | alex--: I just said it's not very easy, I didn't suggest a method | 20:36 |
| xibalba | ikonia , checking | 20:36 |
| alex-- | hmm :P | 20:36 |
| ikonia | alex--: you'd have to write a shell script wrapper | 20:36 |
| edbian | shj: nouveau is still listed there too!!! | 20:36 |
| alex-- | a what? | 20:36 |
| xibalba | ikonia , yes ifconfig shows eth0-3 | 20:36 |
| ikonia | alex--: a shell script to act as a wrapper | 20:36 |
| edbian | shj: Hang on... | 20:36 |
| alex-- | what's that? | 20:36 |
| acicula | justine777w: you had 10.10 working before? how old is this laptop? do you have a brand name/model? | 20:36 |
| shj | edbain : ok! sure! :) | 20:36 |
| boywonder | ill wait patiently thanks | 20:36 |
| xibalba | ikonia, I have a total of 2 NIC cards in the server, each card is dual port | 20:36 |
| edbian | shj: open synaptic and search for the word nouveau | 20:36 |

| wh1zz0 | Hello whitehats.. Please I have a serious problem... Any CD i insert into my ubuntu (11.04) machine's drive does not boot. I am trying to create a virtualbox. VM installs but when it's time to boot from the CD I get an error saying "FATAL: No bootable media found! System halted". I tried the same CD on another person's PC and it reads correcty. Please help, why can't my drive detect the XP boot CD? | 20:37 |
| ikonia | alex--: a shell script is a set of commands put together to do what you tell it to | 20:37 |
| ikonia | xibalba: ok, good news is that it's seeing the 2 physical nics | 20:37 |
| ikonia | xibalba: are both dual port cars the same model/brand ? | 20:37 |
| acicula | justine777w: and/or ist installing 10.10 or 11.04 an option? might simply be that the wireless support for your nic was not added to 10.04 yet? | 20:37 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: this is ubuntu support, not "white hats" | 20:37 |
| wh1zz0 | Sorry | 20:37 |
| wh1zz0 | Please help | 20:37 |
| justine777w | acicula: i am not sure. I guess I could put 10.10 on here since I know the wireless will work | 20:38 |
| xibalba | ikonia, both dual ports are not the same exact NIC card model. They ar eboth intels, I have matched the bond interfaces with the respective NIC sets. So Bond0 is using the same nic on both ports, bond1 should be using the same nic on both ports too | 20:38 |

| ikonia | wh1zz0: if the cd works on other machines, but not this one, it suggests your cd drive has a problem | 20:38 |
| shj | edbain : ok! the frameware is no installed!! | 20:38 |
| alex-- | ikonia: can you help me with it? | 20:38 |
| wh1zz0 | The CD drive is good | 20:38 |
| ikonia | alex--: no, it's quite complex | 20:38 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: how do you know | 20:38 |
| shj | edbian : i mean firmware | 20:38 |
| alex-- | :( | 20:38 |
| xibalba | ikonia , they're both Intel Pro/1000, but slightly different models | 20:38 |
| ikonia | xibalba: the reason I was asking to make sure both had support for bonding but all intels are pretty good so that's not a concern | 20:38 |
| wh1zz0 | I used it to watch a movie just before I installed ubuntu 2 days ago | 20:38 |
| alex-- | like sensors haves | 20:38 |
| edbian | shj: the firmware is not* or now* ? | 20:38 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: ok - but that doesn't mean it's good now | 20:38 |
| alex-- | "do you want to search for them (yes/no) ?" | 20:38 |
| alex-- | ikonia: ^ | 20:39 |
| alex-- | lm-sensors does the job | 20:39 |
| ikonia | alex--: I know what you mean | 20:39 |
| shj | edbian : not! | 20:39 |
| shj | edbian : :) | 20:39 |
| acicula | justine777w: id try that then and/or move on to 11.04 | 20:39 |
| alex-- | can't you get it out of lm-sensors ? | 20:39 |

| boywonder | can anyone help with my problem> | 20:40 |
| boywonder | ? | 20:40 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: ok - so you've proved the media is good, you've proved the drive is good, that must mean your bios is not configured correctly | 20:40 |
| ikonia | xibalba: just thinking | 20:40 |
| wh1zz0 | Bios? I'm not trying to format the whole PC.. Just trying to create a win xp Virtual Box | 20:40 |
| xibalba | ikonia , sure thing | 20:40 |
| acicula | daniel_: the odds of finding soemone with the exact same hw as you arent good, but my guess is it'll work | 20:40 |
| zack | where am i supposed to install programs i download online? | 20:40 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: ahhh, you're trying to boot a virtual box, not your machine | 20:40 |

| shj | edbian : only : libdrm-nouveau1a | 20:40 |
| gnoke | hi folks | 20:40 |
| RobinJ | may be the same cause as the crash | 20:40 |

| gnoke | i got an error when i try to install openoffice | 20:40 |
| daniel_ | acicula, well yesterday i put ubuntu on my dell mini and asked the same question and i got 3 responses so was just wondering | 20:41 |
| gnoke | is there someone that can help me? | 20:41 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: you've probably not mapped your physical CD drive to the virtual CD drive of the guest machine | 20:41 |
| ikonia | xibalba: this one is a bit interesting....... | 20:41 |
| edbian | shj: and sudo modprobe -r nouveau | 20:41 |
| xibalba | ikonia , good i'm glad it's not newbish :) | 20:41 |
| tensorpudding | zack: there is no standard way to install programs in linux | 20:41 |
| RobinJ | dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/650223/ | 20:41 |
| wh1zz0 | ikonia: Please how can I achieve this? | 20:41 |
| tensorpudding | zack: generally you install them from the software center | 20:41 |
| ikonia | wh1zz0: the topic in #vbox points you at the documentation | 20:41 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i was at the data center for 8 hours pounding my head on the rack with this | 20:41 |
| ikonia | xibalba: you're using the same modes, so if one pair works, the second should | 20:41 |
| tensorpudding | zack: the problem is packaging | 20:41 |
| wh1zz0 | Okie let me have a look, thanks. | 20:41 |

| boywonder | acicula, i already did, im trying to add space to a partition with which the sa | 20:42 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i heard somethign about a bonding limit and you may have to tune the kernel or some option somewhere | 20:42 |
| ikonia | xibalba: ok, this is a poor suggestions, but it's all I've got | 20:42 |
| shj | ednbian : it says : could not apply changes fix broken packages first! | 20:42 |
| zack | tensorpudding: for example, im installing http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/xppaut_latest.tar.gz | 20:42 |
| xibalba | someone had mentioned it in this chan before but i couldn't find any documentation on this | 20:42 |
| zack | tensorpudding: where do I need to extract the files to, which directory? | 20:42 |
| gnoke | when i try to install the package "openoffice.org3.3-debian-menus_3.3-9556_all.deb" for openoffice, i got the following error: dpkg: regarding openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb containing openoffice.org-debian-menus: openoffice.org-common conflicts with openoffice.org-debian-menus openoffice.org-debian-menus (version 3.2-9472) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9472_all.deb (--ins | 20:42 |
| boywonder | acicula, i already did, im trying to add space to a partition with which the space comes from unformated space if you like? | 20:42 |
| tensorpudding | zack: it's almost certainly source code that needs to be compiled | 20:42 |
| ikonia | xibalba: when you "bond" an instance of the kernel module is loaded for bonding, I'm wondering if you have a problem in that something is stopping a second instance of the module for being loaded | 20:42 |
| zack | tensorpudding: how would i do that then? .. ive ran this same program on windows before | 20:43 |
| ikonia | xibalba: I'm trying to work out what would possibly cause this | 20:43 |
| tensorpudding | zack: you'll have to unpack the archive, and read the instructions | 20:43 |
| acicula | gnoke: you cant mix debian repositories with ubuntu repositories, it breaks the package manager and your system | 20:43 |
| LWade | Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change. After multiple reinstalls of guest additions it will give me 1600x1200 which is too large for my screen and everything is cut off. I cannot get it back down to 1600x900 so that I can have the entire screen. Any assistan | 20:43 |
| xibalba | ikonia , in my /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf i have 2 entries for obnding as specific in the ubunutu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding , i have one for bond0 and one for bond1 | 20:43 |
| xibalba | ikonia , thats man much appreciated | 20:43 |
| ikonia | xibalba: so you have an alias bond1 in your bonding.conf | 20:43 |
| zack | tensorpudding: the website says "you could compile it yourself, but, instead, you can get the latest binary and copy xppaut to /usr/local/bin " | 20:43 |
| xibalba | ikonia , correct | 20:44 |
| tensorpudding | zack: compiling software is a big issue, there is no magic solution that works for everything | 20:44 |
| tensorpudding | zack: well, is that what you downloaded? | 20:44 |
| ikonia | xibalba: that's what should load the module | 20:44 |
| gholen | I give up. If I cant connect to my class, I might as well do my work in XP or seven instead. | 20:44 |
| zack | tensorpudding: yeah im just curious which directory im supposed to extract to | 20:44 |
| edbian | shj: Why didn't you tell me you had broken packages? | 20:44 |
| edbian | shj sudo apt-get install -f | 20:44 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i'm going to message a buddy of mine that manages ubuntu boxes too | 20:44 |
| tensorpudding | zack: extract it to your desktop or wherever, and copy the binary to /usr/local/bin | 20:44 |
| xibalba | luckily i have IPMI on this thing | 20:44 |
| gnoke | acicula: so, what i have to do? | 20:44 |
| acicula | gholen: dont be discouraged, if noone anserwed your question it may simply be because noone has a solution | 20:45 |
| ikonia | xibalba: can we do a test | 20:45 |
| shj | edbian : i did't know that i just installed ubuntu hours ago!!! | 20:45 |
| zack | tensorpudding: which file is the 'binary' .. theres lots of files. | 20:45 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i'm all ears | 20:45 |
| gnoke | i have downloaded that package from the openoffice site | 20:45 |
| acicula | gholen: try rephrasing the problem you are experiencing and/or be more specific | 20:45 |
| edbian | shj: apt-get should have been saying there were. It's ok | 20:45 |
| ikonia | xibalba: I'm working from memory so you may have to check some of my options out | 20:45 |
| tensorpudding | zack: presumably it's executable, and named xppaut | 20:45 |
| boywonder | what software do i use to sort out my partitions? | 20:45 |
| gnoke | that says to download .deb package if u have ubuntu | 20:45 |
| acicula | gnoke: try using the ubuntu software package manager instead of downloading deb files | 20:45 |
| LWade | Any idea how to correct my issue? | 20:45 |
| tensorpudding | zack: in nautilus, it will be shown with a characteristic icon, with gears on it | 20:45 |
| ikonia | xibalba: can you do an "sudo ifconfig bond1 192.168.140.140 up" | 20:46 |
| acicula | gnoke: also if you installed ubuntu desktop then openoffice should already be installed | 20:46 |
| ikonia | xibalba: it should complain, what does it complain about | 20:46 |
| tensorpudding | zack: a purple diamond with gears in it | 20:46 |
| xibalba | ikonia , standby | 20:46 |
| zack | tensorpudding: im not sure what nautilus is. | 20:46 |
| winux | how do i see whether a particular process is running? | 20:46 |
| gnoke | acicula: i can't find openoffice packages in the ubuntu package manager | 20:46 |
| tensorpudding | zack: sorry | 20:46 |
| gnoke | i have ubuntu 11 | 20:46 |
| tensorpudding | it's the file manager | 20:46 |
| th0r | gnoke: I think it has been replaced by libreoffice | 20:46 |
| gholen | acicula: Well. I cannot, under any circumstances connect with MSN Live, from Pidgon (first try, also first program that wouldt work) ams, empahy, Emesene. or just about anything. I have do do all my instant messgeing from the horribale ebuddy network. | 20:47 |
| tensorpudding | it's the equivalent of explorer in windows or finder in osx, if you want to think of it like that | 20:47 |
| acicula | gnoke i think its renamed/replaced with libreoffice | 20:47 |
| xibalba | ikonia , for this i will need to link you to screen shot | 20:47 |
| xibalba | unfortuantely i cannot highlight text in IPMI | 20:47 |
| ikonia | xibalba: just summerise | 20:47 |
| gnoke | ok, so it's only openoffice renamed? | 20:47 |
| ikonia | xibalba: don't need exact message, just give me an overview | 20:47 |
| LWade | Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change. After multiple reinstalls of guest additions it will give me 1600x1200 which is too large for my screen and everything is cut off. I cannot get it back down to 1600x900 so that I can have the entire screen. Any assistan | 20:47 |
| boywonder | fgs,somthing so pitiful..and no help !! | 20:47 |
| edbian | shj: ? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | boywonder: complaing doesn't help, just wait | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: did you ask a question | 20:48 |
| acicula | gnoke: i think its a fork, a variation of openoffice | 20:48 |
| ikonia | boywonder: or pay for a support agreement from canonical.com | 20:48 |
| gnoke | acicula: ok, thanks | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: oh, | 20:48 |
| xibalba | ikonia , ok summary is it loads CAP_SYS_MODULE, which is saying its deprecated, and wants to use CAP_NET_ADMIN instead, then goes on to say no such device. In case you want a screenshot , it's here http://sandbox.vincomm.net/~reza/bond1%20error.jpg | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | about partitions | 20:48 |
| froq | how many in here use Ubuntu 11.04? | 20:48 |
| ikonia | xibalba: so no such device, rats | 20:48 |
| ikonia | froq: why ? | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: all sorts of disk partitioning can be done using GNOME Parted | 20:48 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: search for it in the software center | 20:49 |
| froq | ikonia, b/c I am considering upgrading to it and want to know how many use it at the moment? I am currently using 10.10 | 20:49 |
| boywonder | search for what | 20:49 |
| boywonder | ? | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: gnome partition editor | 20:49 |
| shj | edbian : i went to synaptic and looked nouveau .... there are too many packages will be affected! | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: or gparted, as it is often called | 20:49 |
| edbian | shj: sudo apt-get install -f first to fix your broken packages | 20:49 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: then search for it in applications | 20:49 |
| acicula | gholen: are you sure its not a network problem? afaik msn works fine under pidgin or empathy. do you get any errors when you try to connect? | 20:49 |
| === RobinJ is now known as zz_RobinJ | ||
| ikonia | froq: it's the current stable version, the number of people using it should have no relevance to your upgrade | 20:50 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: what is it you want to do with your partitions | 20:50 |
| ikonia | xibalba: that is very frustrating | 20:50 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, i cant get gparted to do what i want do i have to boot from it? | 20:50 |
| froq | ikonia, okay. | 20:50 |
| Z00la | Hi all, in practice, is there any difference between dual-booting Windows&Ubuntu and using a virtual windows emmulator of some kind? | 20:50 |
| xibalba | ikonia , you're telling me. i'm unfamiliar with this error message. | 20:50 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: what is it you want to do | 20:50 |
| Z00la | I mean in terms of being able to use softwares. | 20:50 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: you can't edit a partition which is in use | 20:50 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, i have some deleted space i want to reclaim onto my ubutu partition | 20:51 |
| acicula | froq: this is not a polling station | 20:51 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Z00la, an emulator cannot run graphical programs with the same speed as an installed OS, but it's sometimes faster to use. | 20:51 |
| shj | edbian : i did ! ..... i get : Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) :( | 20:51 |
| ikonia | xibalba: the error message isn't a problem, I just don't see why it would give it when bond0 is fine | 20:51 |
| xibalba | ikonia , was the screenshot helpful | 20:51 |
| gholen | acicula: Nope, just "connection timed out". Tested it with standalone 3g, wireless, and wire. 3 diffrent networks as wireless and wired | 20:51 |
| acicula | Z00la: virtualized you do not get gpu acceleration | 20:51 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: a solution would be to use the ubuntu cd you used to install from | 20:51 |
| ikonia | xibalba: not massivly as you gave me good information | 20:51 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: it has gparted on it | 20:51 |
| edbian | shj: close synaptic and run the command agian. You can only have 1 package manager running at once | 20:51 |
| ikonia | xibalba: can we do another test ? | 20:51 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: you can boot from the ubuntu cd into a "live" environment | 20:51 |
| xibalba | ikonia , are you going to be around for a while ? | 20:52 |
| shj | debian : ok! :) silly! | 20:52 |
| xibalba | ikonia , i have to go into a meeting! Argh!!! | 20:52 |
| ikonia | xibalba: don't think I'm going anywhere | 20:52 |
| froq | acicula, I realize that since there is no election, how can it be a polling station? | 20:52 |
| ikonia | xibalba: ping me when you come back, lets see if we can fix this | 20:52 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, but will gparted definatly move it | 20:52 |
| xibalba | ikonia , thanks man. I will gladly ship you a case of beer for this | 20:52 |
| ikonia | xibalba: happy to help | 20:52 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: gparted can resize partitions, yeah | 20:52 |
| acicula | gholen: can you connect when you reboot to windows? | 20:52 |
| gholen | acicula: Yep. | 20:53 |
| dell | When i install a program where are it's source code saved? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | dell: it's sourcecode isn't | 20:53 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, thanks for helping, i think i might have a bootable gparted but if it dont work?? | 20:53 |
| joki | How can i use my rams to help the performances of my system? | 20:53 |
| ikonia | dell: it's binary you download | 20:53 |
| acicula | dell its not, you can get the source code by typing apt-get source <package> | 20:53 |
| ikonia | joki: the linux kernel will manage your ram to give you the best performance | 20:53 |
| shj | debian : i get the same message .... fix broken packages first! | 20:53 |
| dell | ohh | 20:53 |
| gholen | In fact, as it seems,I can connect, but I have problems logging in, it takes a while with pidgin, but trillian, msn and so on WORKS. | 20:53 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: gparted should be able to do anything which you need to do | 20:53 |
| LWade | Hello, I'm having an issue with ubuntu on a vbox, I have installed guest additions and for a period of time the monitor recognized the proper resolution 1600x900, and then it reverted down to 800x600 and wouldn t change. After multiple reinstalls of guest additions it will give me 1600x1200 which is too large for my screen and everything is cut off. I cannot get it back down to 1600x900 so that I can have the entire screen. Any assistan | 20:54 |
| LWade | no rush anyone just a reminder :P | 20:54 |
| acicula | gholen: so it works but it just takes some time to login? | 20:54 |
| joki | ikonia: right now is only using 11% of it. Can't i do anything to use more of it, and make it efficient ? | 20:54 |
| Jordan_U | acicula: Do you see an "out of disk" error? | 20:54 |
| ikonia | joki: why do you think it's only using %11 ? | 20:54 |
| LWade | oh hell may not need it now | 20:55 |
| LWade | i just messed it u | 20:55 |
| LWade | p | 20:55 |
| gholen | acicula: ONLY with pidgin, not trillian in windows, MSN LIVE does what its told to, quite fast even | 20:55 |
| edbian | shj: You're butchering my name and I'm missing things you're saying :P | 20:55 |
| acicula | Jordan_U: no i dont | 20:55 |
| edbian | shj: close synaptic. run sudo apt-get -f install | 20:55 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, thank you | 20:55 |
| shj | debian : i did that! | 20:55 |
| joki | Ikonia: because that's what conky, and system monitor is telling me, | 20:55 |
| acicula | gholen: well no surprise there, its their own closed protocol, does pidgin under ubuntu work, if slow at logging in? | 20:56 |
| Jordan_U | !bootinfo | acicula | 20:56 |
| ubottu | acicula: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). | 20:56 |
| edbian | shj: My name is not debian | 20:56 |
| LWade | well to hell with it im just going to reinstall it :P | 20:56 |
| ikonia | joki: that means it only needs %11 as "active" at thie moment, you'll find more will be use for things such as disk cache, and when it needs it will swap it to active | 20:56 |
| acicula | Jordan_U: i think you have me confused with someone else | 20:56 |
| Z00la | s3r3n1t7 , acicula Thanks. | 20:56 |
| shj | edbian : :) sorry | 20:56 |
| Jordan_U | acicula: Indeed, sorry. | 20:56 |
| gholen | acicula: Nope, nither does empahy, amsn, emesene or something else. | 20:56 |
| Jordan_U | blackhawk: Do you see an "out of disk" error? | 20:56 |
| joki | ikonia: so' in another words i can't use any ram space to make my experience smoother? | 20:57 |
| edbian | shj: sudo apt-get -f install | 20:57 |
| edbian | shj: What is it saying? | 20:57 |
| ikonia | joki: is your machine behaving slow ? | 20:57 |
| shj | edbian : i get this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650232/ | 20:57 |
| acicula | gholen: well empathy or pidgin support msn fine, got any other customizations done on your ubuntu like firewall settings etc? | 20:58 |
| gholen | acicula: None what so ever. | 20:58 |
| gholen | acicula: vanilla install so to speak | 20:59 |
| edbian | If the package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is uninstalled why is nouveau still being used? | 20:59 |
| lsv | how can I check if Ubuntu recognize my wireless card? | 20:59 |
| joki | ikonia: a bit slow, yes. | 20:59 |
| ikonia | joki: how much ram do you have ? | 20:59 |
| edbian | shj: I'm asking the channel for help. Open synaptic and remove all the nouveau packages again. | 20:59 |
| designbybeck | i did a top command... saw that skype is peggin' out one of my CPUs... I tried to do a kill but it will not kill | 20:59 |
| acicula | gholen: then idk what else to try, double check your login credentials and let it try to connect for awhile? | 20:59 |
| designbybeck | any ideas how to kill it | 20:59 |
| ikonia | designbybeck: it maybe zombied, a reboot will clear it | 20:59 |
| shj | edbian : it refuses .... it says fix broken packages first! | 20:59 |
| edbian | designbybeck: kill -9 | 21:00 |
| designbybeck | Ah... thanks ikonia, I was hoping to not hae to reboot right now | 21:00 |
| edbian | shj: what? | 21:00 |
| designbybeck | i tried that in top edbian | 21:00 |
| gholen | acicula: Done that. Nothing helps. Thats why I'm asking here :) | 21:00 |
| designbybeck | with the process id | 21:00 |
| edbian | shj: This is very strange. apt-get -f says there are no broken packages. nouveau cannot be removed | 21:00 |
| edbian | I have no idea what is happening | 21:00 |
| edbian | designbybeck: then restart | 21:00 |
| shj | edbian : strange !!! but that's what synaptic says! | 21:00 |
| edbian | shj: Yeah. I don't know. I am confused | 21:00 |
| shj | debian : i'll try again! | 21:00 |
| edbian | shj: my name is not Debian | 21:01 |
| joki | ikonia: about 8gb ddr2 on a laptop | 21:01 |
| ikonia | joki: ok - so is it visually slow, or slow at doing things | 21:01 |
| edbian | Why would synaptic say there are broken packages when apt-get says there are not? | 21:01 |
| shj | edbian : sorry | 21:01 |
| edbian | shj: it's fine | 21:02 |
| joki | ikonia: visually | 21:02 |
| ikonia | joki: so the most realistic option is your video card and xorgs compatability | 21:02 |
| ikonia | joki: what video card do you have ? | 21:02 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| === s0ultekkie is now known as soultekkie | ||
| joki | ikonia: psh, is garbage some intel integrated.... | 21:03 |
| ikonia | joki: ok, the most obvious thing to me is that it's not configured to use it properly, or the card is not powered enough | 21:03 |
| ikonia | joki: your issue is not ram related | 21:03 |
| shj | edbian : the only package that have nouveau on it is : libdrm-nouveau1a >>>> and i get that broken package message when i try to remove it | 21:03 |
| joki | ikonia: ik is most likely that, but i was asking if there was any way of putting my ram to use. It's always 10-20 | 21:03 |
| edbian | shj: I know. I do not know how to fix it. | 21:04 |
| ikonia | joki: it's already in use, you'll find that ram that's not "needed" is used as disk cache and other things, | 21:04 |
| ikonia | joki: then when it's needed it's returned to the active pool | 21:04 |
| glebihan | shj, what does it say it you run "sudo apt-get remove libdrm-nouveau1a" | 21:04 |
| shj | edbian : anyway! thank you very much for your effort! .... appreciated! | 21:04 |
| ikonia | joki: think of it as having 10 legs to pedal a bike with 2 pedals, you can only use 2 legs, no matter how many you've got | 21:05 |
| edbian | shj: sure, good luck! | 21:05 |
| shj | glebihan : broken packages | 21:06 |
| glebihan | shj, what is the exact message ? | 21:06 |
| alex-- | How to 'ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm' but do this only for the tar.gz file? | 21:06 |
| alex-- | not for the folder? | 21:06 |
| Eighteens | if i play a music cd, my sound card plays the first song ok, "most of the time | 21:06 |
| joki | ikonia: lol, you're right.. I just seen it somewhere | 21:06 |
| ikonia | joki: I know where you are going, but trust me, the linux kernel knows how to deal with it's memory best | 21:07 |
| alex-- | How to 'ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm' but do this only for the tar.gz file? not for the folder? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | alex--: you need to untar it | 21:07 |
| alex-- | yes | 21:07 |
| alex-- | but then i have 1 folder with multitheft | 21:07 |
| shj | glebihan : here is the message : http://paste.ubuntu.com/650237/ | 21:07 |
| ikonia | alex--: correct | 21:07 |
| alex-- | and 1 .tar.gz file with multithefta | 21:07 |
| alex-- | how to remove the .tar.gz? | 21:07 |
| Eighteens | i have ubuntu 10.04.2 lucid on this machine, been trying for months to get perfect sound, nothing seems to work, except live cd, then sound always sounds good and crisp | 21:07 |
| Jordan_U | blackhawk: Do you see an "out of disk" error? | 21:07 |
| alex-- | if i do ls multitheftauto_linux* | xargs rm it will remove the folder | 21:08 |
| alex-- | i want it to remove the file | 21:08 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, i just thought of somthing, i have this machine dual booted with xp, can i just delete the xp partition or will that cause problems? | 21:08 |
| ikonia | alex--: rm $filename.tar | 21:08 |
| alex-- | no ls? | 21:08 |
| zack | im getting 'fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory' after typing 'make' .. any idea how to fix this? | 21:08 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: yes, you can delete it | 21:08 |
| edbian | shj: update the system first. sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get safe-upgrade | 21:08 |
| ikonia | alex--: you do know multitheftauto is not going to work on your system don't you ? | 21:08 |
| alex-- | it's almost working | 21:08 |
| alex-- | thanks to aetas | 21:08 |
| acicula | Zack you need to install the compiletime dependencies | 21:08 |
| shj | edbian : ok! | 21:08 |
| alex-- | but now about this | 21:08 |
| edbian | shj: That will probably help. It's not saying there are broken packages. It's saying that what you requested will create broken packages. I was confused about this before. | 21:09 |
| boywonder | tens and the boot list ting will just drop it? thanks in advance | 21:09 |
| acicula | so not just the library but also the -dev version of the library | 21:09 |
| alex-- | rm $filename.tar | 21:09 |
| ikonia | I don't think it will work properly though when I worked through the dependencies earlier | 21:09 |
| philipballew | whats lvm mean when i am selecting where to install and do i want it | 21:09 |
| alex-- | rm: cannot remove `.tar': No such file or directory | 21:09 |
| zack | acicula where do I get that? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | alex--: what is the name of the tar file | 21:09 |
| alex-- | i dont know | 21:09 |
| Eighteens | if i killall pulseaudio, it will restart, then i can play music, or watch movies, but if i try to watch any other movie, or listen to any other music after the initial reboot, i get train wreck, or garbled sound | 21:09 |
| alex-- | the script should get it with ls multitheft* | 21:09 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, and the boot list thing will just drop it? thanks in advance excuse typo? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | alex--: oh come on, yes you do, what is the name of the tar file that you downloaded that contains mta | 21:09 |
| alex-- | no | 21:09 |
| alex-- | i'm creating a script | 21:09 |
| alex-- | to do this automaticly | 21:09 |
| alex-- | name changes every time | 21:09 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: i think so | 21:10 |
| FloodBot1 | alex--: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:10 |
| ikonia | alex--: no - you're not | 21:10 |
| tensorpudding | boywonder: it won't interfere with booting other operating systems | 21:10 |
| alex-- | will this work? ls multitheftauto_linux*.tar.gz | xargs rm | 21:10 |
| boywonder | tensorpudding, cool stuff | 21:10 |
| Eighteens | i've searched forums, and tried many suggestions, should i just get a better sound card than the integrated intel-hda that it came with | 21:10 |
| ikonia | alex--: the file name does not change | 21:10 |
| alex-- | it does | 21:10 |
| alex-- | mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r734.zip | 21:10 |
| ikonia | alex--: no, it doesn't I've read the revision history | 21:10 |
| acicula | zack read the INSTALL file or google for the package that header file belongs to and install the development version via the software center or apt-get. the convention is that libabc has a development package called libabc-dev | 21:10 |
| alex-- | will change in mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r735.zip or mtasa-1.0.x-resources-r736.zip | 21:10 |
| ikonia | alex--: don't script compiling something, | 21:11 |
| Jordan_U | alex--: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_i_in_.24.28ls_.2A.mp3.29 | 21:11 |
| alex-- | i'm not scripting to compile | 21:11 |
| alex-- | just to download the files | 21:12 |
| alex-- | and put it in the right folder | 21:12 |
| shj | edbain : another error message :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/650239/ | 21:12 |
| ikonia | alex--: finish working it through with aetas this isn't an ubuntu issue and we are getting to the point of spoon feeding you | 21:12 |
| alex-- | i'm stuck at read now | 21:13 |
| alex-- | i used read VARNAME | 21:13 |
| ikonia | alex--: work it through with aetas he was helping you earlier | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | alex--: Do you plan on distributing this script ? | 21:13 |
| alex-- | he's gone | 21:13 |
| ikonia | alex--: this isn't an ubuntu issue, so it's offtopic for this channel | 21:13 |
| alex-- | Jordan_U: no | 21:13 |
| alex-- | maybe | 21:13 |
| alex-- | actually | 21:13 |
| alex-- | why? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | alex--: we cut you a lot of slack earlier, but this is now getting to the point where we are having to spoon feed you, so I suggest you take it to a channel such as #bash for scripting | 21:13 |
| alex-- | ok | 21:14 |
| ikonia | alex--: be aware though, #bash are quite tought on you doing your own research | 21:14 |
| alex-- | sorry for disturbing you | 21:14 |
| ikonia | not a problem | 21:14 |
| Jordan_U | alex--: Because to be perfectly blunt, I don't think you're ready to be writing scripts that might break people's systems if things go wrong. What you are trying to do with rm is very prone to error and you might accidentily delete much more than you expected to. | 21:15 |
| alex-- | maybe :P | 21:15 |

| ubottu | Jef91: File synclient found in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 21:24 |
| Infernet | hey all | 21:24 |
| Jef91 | ThinkT510 that is the drivers - not a desktop neutral GUI to configure them | 21:25 |
| townes | could someone recommend some simple/intuitive software for creating posters and things of that nature...not something bloated and ram hogging and 10,000 features...just something that does what it does | 21:27 |
| ThinkT510 | Jef91: you first said desktop neutral tool, which is why th0r pointed to synclient that is part of the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package | 21:27 |
| townes | I know that's a bit of a loaded question | 21:28 |
| Jef91 | ahh | 21:28 |
| townes | but maybe someone has a few ideas | 21:28 |
| ciss | ThinkT510: thanks | 21:28 |
| ThinkT510 | ciss: no worries :) | 21:28 |
| werever | hi guys | 21:29 |
| YankDownUnder | townes, Inkscape, GIMP => have you actually researched this yet? | 21:29 |
| ThinkT510 | townes: you could try libreoffice draw | 21:29 |
| werever | anybody can help me? I am on a live cd and need to acces to my user folder data on the hard disk, only need copy some files until I fix some GUI problems | 21:30 |
| ciss | ok, i added --verbose and can see now that the system hangs at: "init: plymouth post-start process (222)". any advice? | 21:31 |
| YankDownUnder | ThinkT510, When you're doing large format graphics, you have to have extremely high DPI, mate..."Draw" does not fit that bill. I have to put out posters (well, graphics for banners and rollups and such) and that just don't work. However Inkscape and GIMP do the trick extremely well - especially in comparison to MS based crap graphics programs. | 21:31 |
| ciss | weird - why is plymouth active on a server install? | 21:32 |
| townes | YankDownUnder, a little bit, I was just curious if people had other suggestions | 21:32 |
| shj | hi guys! .... how can i force nvida's card driver to work!!! ... it says in (additional dirvers) "this driver is activated but not currently in use" | 21:32 |
| YankDownUnder | ciss, Remove the plymouth packages on the server. | 21:32 |
| townes | YankDownUnder, havent looked at inkscape... scribus looked pretty complicated to me | 21:32 |
| townes | inkscape similiar? | 21:32 |
| ThinkT510 | YankDownUnder: you can tell i don't have much experience in that area so i said the first thing that came to mind, your suggestions are much better though | 21:33 |
| townes | ThinkT510, that sounds like it might be a good way to go, office stuff is usually straight forwardf | 21:33 |
| werever | any body available_ | 21:33 |
| werever | ? | 21:33 |
| YankDownUnder | townes, If you're wanting "so simple that it does it itself", well, you have to remember that regardless the situation, there IS a learning curve. If you're not willing the learn, the curve is quite steep. | 21:33 |
| townes | YankDownUnder, oh yeah absolutely, I just..... scribus is beyond me | 21:34 |
| townes | gimp works, I just wanted other ideas | 21:34 |
| blade | werever, if you need help with something ask | 21:34 |
| YankDownUnder | townes, Scribus IS a bit complex, however, if you have an objective, don't let "a new tool" that is different in dialogues - throw you for a loop. | 21:34 |
| Jef91 | darn net drops | 21:34 |
| Jef91 | synclient is saying that it doesn't appear the synaptics driver is loaded | 21:35 |
| faLUCE | hi, is there a simple calendar gui for linux that prints on the console the date when it's picked? | 21:35 |
| Jef91 | and I don't see it in lsmod - is there somewhere else it would be? | 21:35 |
| townes | YankDownUnder, thanks, I really needed that encouragement... sometimes this stuff is so intimidating | 21:35 |
| werever | thanks blade, only need some help to remember how to login into my hard disk ubuntu files until I am in a live cd | 21:35 |
| YankDownUnder | townes, For that matter, anyone that doesn't know how to use Photoshop would think it's an alien - and find it hard to use. However, that being said, if you understand the objective and the tools necessary, dialogues really don't matter. | 21:35 |
| townes | you're right | 21:35 |
| blade | werever, from what os | 21:35 |
| YankDownUnder | townes, Cheers | 21:36 |
| townes | cheers mate | 21:36 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, hi im back, im booted into persistant ubuntu but its not letting me move the partition? | 21:36 |
| werever | I am sure there is some help in ubuntu forums or google, but I am not lucky today searching, and I have a not enought time toresearch | 21:36 |
| werever | I am using ubuntu 11.04 in my hard disk, wich is broken, now I am in a live cd ubuntu 11.04, and I need to login and copy some files | 21:36 |
| ciss | YankDownUnder: not an option. there's a whole forest of dependencies | 21:36 |
| zack | why can i not copy stuff to usr/bin, i get permission denied? | 21:37 |
| blade | werever, what os are you using | 21:37 |
| werever | 11.04 | 21:37 |
| ciss | looks like plymouth is tightly integrated | 21:37 |
| blade | werever, you should be able to mount the drive they are on and see them | 21:37 |
| werever | yep | 21:37 |
| YankDownUnder | ciss, So the server doesn't get past that - ergo, it ain't booting into the system...ya? | 21:37 |
| werever | I mounted | 21:37 |
| werever | bur files are under my user folder, and there are private | 21:38 |
| werever | any ideas? )P | 21:38 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: you said resize before, not move | 21:38 |
| blade | werever, they are encrypted then right | 21:38 |
| werever | yes | 21:38 |
| blade | that sounds like it's going to be a bit over my head then sorry | 21:38 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: if you want you can expand partitions, and contract them, but you can't pick them up and move them to a different part of the disk | 21:38 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, my original post said move, do i have a problem? | 21:39 |
| blade | werever, i would think you would have to open the folder with terminal but i'm not sure | 21:39 |
| werever | blade, yes, data is encripted, file explorer say , I have no permission | 21:39 |
| kids | hello, can anyone assist in installing flash for firefox in edubuntu | 21:39 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, seems that it will only let me move right to left? | 21:39 |
| babble | hey everyone: does anybody know if there's an ubuntu build of GADMIN-HTTPD that works in natty? | 21:40 |
| acicula | zack: you can only write in your home directory and the /tmp directory as a normal user | 21:40 |
| kids | http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 21:40 |
| kids | is the website I am on but do not know which version to choose | 21:40 |
| blade | werever, with terminal you should be able to open them but i am unsure how you would do it | 21:40 |
| YankDownUnder | kids, In the package manager, you can search for flash and install flash-player for Firefox. | 21:40 |
| TrentH | msg NickServ identify xbox360 | 21:41 |
| ciss | YankDownUnder: we had a blackout, since then the server (10.04, virtualbox guest) doesn't boot up anymore. it idles at the named line without throwing any errors. keyboard input gets displayed, but that's about all | 21:41 |
| zack | "you could compile it yourself, but, instead, you can get the latest binary and copy xppaut to /usr/local/bin " .. why would it say to just copy to usr/local/bin if i cant do that | 21:41 |
| TrentH | Hello, everyone! | 21:41 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: if you have something like | 21:41 |
| acicula | TrentH: best change your password now | 21:41 |
| rww | !identify | TrentH | 21:41 |
| ubottu | TrentH: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 21:41 |
| TrentH | heheheheheh | 21:41 |
| werever | blade, what do you think is faster? fix my ubuntu boot problem or acces to my private folder? , my problem is ubuntu 11.04 says #mountall: disconnected plymouth | 21:41 |
| TrentH | It's alright acid | 21:41 |
| ThinkT510 | !find gadmin | babble | 21:41 |

| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: a partition A, then empty space, then partition B, then more space | 21:41 |
| acicula | zack: you can copy as root | 21:42 |
| TrentH | I'm having an issue manually installing the ATI drivers, It error's out on me when it shows the hardware I have. | 21:42 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: you can expand A to the right or B to left | 21:42 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, thats what i have? | 21:42 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: but you can't swamp A and B's places | 21:42 |
| acicula | or with root privelidges rather, but you can execute it just fine in your home directory | 21:42 |
| babble | ThinkT510, yeah, I saw the rest of the Gadmin packages in the repo, but I can't find one for GADMIN-HTTPD | 21:42 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: this is entirely a contrived example | 21:42 |
| zack | acicula: how do i do that then | 21:42 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: how do i know what your partition layout looks like? | 21:42 |
| blade | werever, i am unsure that would be a bit over my head, again i would think you could open the folder using terminal | 21:42 |
| YankDownUnder | ciss, You should be able to "attach" a 10.04 server CD to that VM, boot to the CD, and attempt to repair the build - it would appear (from what I've seen in the past in my clients situations) that the VM is corrupted - so start from the base filesystems on the VM and then work your way out from there...make sense? | 21:42 |

| Hyperling | I have a few folders that were accidentally created as root, and they contain files, which I need to delete. What's the simplest/fastest way? | 21:43 |
| TrentH | acicula, can you help me install 11.6 ATI driver? | 21:43 |
| babble | (I'm running AMD64) | 21:43 |
| ThinkT510 | babble: doesn't seem to exist | 21:43 |
| Hyperling | I need to delete the actual folders too, not only the files | 21:43 |
| werever | blade, thats I am trying, but Its taking more time than I expected | 21:43 |
| acicula | TrentH: you can install ati drivers via the additional drivers tool | 21:43 |
| zack | acicula: its just a folder that im trying to copy over that has a bunch of files | 21:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Hyperling, Have you thought of using "sudo"? | 21:44 |
| babble | ThinkT510, there's an x86 source package for GADMIN-HTTPD here: http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=36 | 21:44 |
| babble | ThinkT510, but the posted tarball is for 32bit/i386 | 21:44 |
| blade | werever, i do not know enough about terminal to know the command to open it but i am sure it would be a sudo command | 21:44 |
| Hyperling | YankDownUnder: When I use the sudo folder remove command it tells me I can't while there are files inside | 21:44 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, my partition layout is as, devsda1,devsda3,devsda5(files system),devsda6swap : i want to move devsda3 to devsda5? | 21:44 |
| Hyperling | YankDownUnder: Is there a command to delete folders AND files? | 21:44 |
| acicula | zack: i understand, but you can just execute the files with the directory in your home directory as well | 21:44 |
| ciss | YankDownUnder: absolutely. i'll give it a try, thanks | 21:45 |
| YankDownUnder | Hyperling, "sudo rm -rf foldername" | 21:45 |
| AlexDevilLX | ubuntu different wallpapers on workspaces metacity | 21:45 |
| blade | werever, from the sounds of it YankDownUnder know a bit about terminal | 21:45 |
| TrentH | acicula, but I don't want to use FGLRX. It laggs the special things | 21:45 |
| kids | @yank, sorry but where do I find the package manager? | 21:45 |
| Hyperling | YankDownUnder: I'll try it, thank you | 21:45 |
| acicula | TrentH: then you dont need to do anything, ubuntu should load the opensource ati drivers for you | 21:45 |
| TrentH | acicula, the special things I mean the special effects for the graphics they lagg | 21:46 |
| TrentH | acicula, but the newest ati drivers fixed the issue with it lagging on special effects | 21:46 |
| babble | ThinkT510, but thank you very much for looking for me ;) | 21:46 |
| Hyperling | YankDownUnder: Thanks, it worked :D | 21:46 |
| TrentH | acicula, can you tell me how to keep the installer from closing whenever it errors? Or tell me how to find out why it error'd? | 21:46 |
| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, is there noway i can do this? | 21:46 |
| werever | blade, YankDownUnder, with this command am I able to open my private user folder from live cd? | 21:46 |
| ThinkT510 | babble: sorry i couldn't help more | 21:46 |
| acicula | TrentH: how do you know the newer drivers will fix your graphics issue? | 21:47 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: there are ways, possibly, but they're all complex and involve backing up your files elsewhere, deleting partitions and recreating them, and moving files back onto them | 21:47 |
| YankDownUnder | werever, Eh? If the "private user folder" is encrypted? | 21:47 |
| TrentH | acicula, alot of people said online that the "newer" driver addresses the lagging issue with compizz. | 21:47 |
| werever | yankdownunder, yes is encrypted, I found this on google, do you think I am on the correct way? | 21:48 |
| werever | yankdownunder, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live%20CD%20method%20of%20opening%20a%20encrypted%20home%20directory | 21:48 |

| YankDownUnder | kids, Coolbeans. Cheers | 21:50 |
| werever | yankdownunder, hehehe, do you know this #short advanced way#? | 21:50 |

| YankDownUnder | werever, Scroll down to below the initial page tag and you'll see the "advanced short way" | 21:51 |
| zack | i just need xlib.h :/ | 21:51 |

| chrisyboy2 | tensorpudding, as of the table i have 10 gigs of space(sda3)deleted formated whatever, i want to put this into sda5 and kill sda3 | 21:52 |

| ThinkT510 | chrisyboy2: then resize sda3 and then sda5 | 21:53 |
| tensorpudding | chrisyboy2: and there is an sda4 in the middle? | 21:54 |
| === fairuz1 is now known as fairuz_ | ||

| tensorpudding | between 3 and 5? | 21:54 |
| acicula | TrentH: what kind of graphic issues have you been experiencing? | 21:55 |
| ThinkT510 | chrisyboy2: ah, that is a bit tricky, one is a primary partition the other is logical, you would have to shrink the logical then the extended and then grow the primary | 21:55 |
| blade | how can i configure ATI CCC for 2 video cards | 21:56 |
| acicula | TrentH: please keep your questions to #ubuntu | 21:56 |
| ThinkT510 | chrisyboy2: sorry wrong way round, you want the extra space going to sda5 | 21:56 |
| TrentH | acicula, alright how do I remove fglrx? I ram ati installer through terminal...and I go to install it and it says I still have FGLRX installed? | 21:57 |
| TrentH | acicula, I tried apt-get purge fglrx* and it says "the following packages will be removed, FGLRX*" but everytime I redo the command it still says it's going to be removed? | 21:57 |
| acicula | TrentH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI , especially the bit about making a deb from the installer is relevant as it makes it easier later if you want to revert | 21:58 |
| blade | aciula i am unsure how/if i move forward, can i run dual video cards with the restricted drivers from ATI | 22:00 |
| ciss | i attempted an apt-get update inside a rescue system with my root partition mounted in /. unfortunately the status hangs at 0 %. all servers are reachable. what could cause this? | 22:01 |

| acicula | blade: yeah you can | 22:01 |
| blade | acicula, 2 cards both with monitors on them? | 22:01 |
| acicula | blade yeah, you will need to run seperate X instances on both cards though | 22:02 |
| chrisyboy2 | thinkt510 why cant i tab your name, lets start off? | 22:02 |
| blade | acicula, so it's just a matter of installing the drivers and ccc and then edit the xorg file | 22:02 |

| acicula | fructose_: and then try compiz --replace | 22:09 |
| fructose_ | Acicula: will i lose the windows I had open? | 22:09 |

| gohdan | the ctrl keys power down the system and the shift keys alter volume. emacs.... is unusable | 22:11 |

| fructose_ | acicula: Was I supposed to actually kill something first? | 22:13 |
| acicula | fructose_: then i think you are out of luck | 22:13 |
| acicula | fructose_: no the --replace ensures it replaces whatever is your current window manager | 22:13 |
| fructose_ | acicula: I had unity | 22:13 |

| blackhawk | anyone having/heard of problems like unstable internet connection? | 22:22 |
| fructose | ___Alex___: Just emphasizing I don't have experience with it | 22:23 |
| Quantum_Ion | Do you have an Ubuntu question ? | 22:23 |
| Quantum_Ion | Lets stick to the topic ? | 22:23 |
| blackhawk | yes me | 22:23 |
| ___Alex___ | fructose: how would i set my xdisplay to my current xsession instead of my tty window? | 22:23 |
| blade | blackhawk, yes i have sat Internet = unstable | 22:24 |
| blackhawk | new to ubuntu and i'm noticing unstable internet connection | 22:24 |
| ikonia | xibalba: be with you shortly | 22:24 |
| blackhawk | so how do we fix it | 22:24 |
| fructose | Try export DISPLAY=:0 ? | 22:24 |
| blackhawk | ? | 22:24 |
| blackhawk | i'm new so i don't understand what is that lol | 22:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | unstable ? | 22:25 |
| blade | it has nothing to do with Linux/Unix it's your isp | 22:25 |
| Quantum_Ion | etf | 22:25 |
| blackhawk | no,this "Try export DISPLAY=:0 ?" | 22:25 |
| blackhawk | well i have another computer which is working fine] | 22:25 |
| blade | blackhawk, then you need to check your lan driver | 22:26 |
| blackhawk | not quit sure but first time experiencing it so i was wondering if it's ubuntu | 22:26 |
| rww | blackhawk: that was fructose talking to ___Alex___, not you. | 22:26 |
| blackhawk | blade,how? | 22:26 |
| fructose | blackhawk: Was talking to ___Alex___,s orry | 22:26 |
| blade | blackhawk, lspci | 22:26 |
| blackhawk | ok rww :( | 22:26 |
| ___Alex___ | fructose: that disabled the screensaver, but my display is not updating (probably the root problem)... is there a way to force a screen redraw? | 22:26 |
| blade | blackhawk, in terminal | 22:26 |
| nit-wit | ___Alex___, ctrl-alt-f7 | 22:27 |
| blackhawk | ok,i know the terminal lol | 22:27 |
| blackhawk | then | 22:27 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| ___Alex___ | nit-wit: I know how to move from tty to X session, but that's not causing it to redraw everything... :( | 22:27 |
| blade | blackhawk, look for your lan card and check to see if you have drivers instaled for it | 22:27 |
| blackhawk | ok | 22:28 |
| ___Alex___ | all I see is a mouse cursor | 22:28 |
| nit-wit | ___Alex___, not sure if you didn't shutdown X sorry. | 22:28 |
| blade | blackhawk, only other thing i can think of is ubuntu tweak | 22:28 |
| ___Alex___ | nit-wit: yeah, I'm not tryng to shutdown X... I just want my windows to stay open but re-init the video somehow | 22:28 |
| blackhawk | umm how so? | 22:29 |
| blackhawk | i have a z68 gigabyte motherboard btw | 22:29 |
| fructose | ___Alex___: I've never tried it, but apparently there is a gnome-session-save | 22:29 |
| blade | blackhawk, i also have a gigabyte MoBo | 22:30 |
| fructose | ___Alex___: And then gnome-session to start it again | 22:30 |
| ___Alex___ | fructose: interesting, but I'm running a terminal window doing a couple of jobs and a virtual machine... will those still continue to run if I restart the X session? | 22:30 |
| hamed | hello i want to buy this pen and i want to be sure thats will work on linux it convert my screen on my laptop to touch screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBr9kU4Knp4&feature=player_embedded | 22:31 |
| fructose | ___Alex___: Without experience, I can't promise anything. The manpage says it saves a snapshot of the currently running applications | 22:32 |
| fructose | ___Alex___: I don't know if that means it will just terminate and reopen them later or if it will try to reattach to the ones that were already open | 22:32 |
| blackhawk | ok,one more thing,how do you install plugins? like quakelive one? | 22:33 |
| blade | blackhawk, i am unsure what you mean.... plugins for what? | 22:33 |
| blackhawk | for a web browser,like the quakelive game plugin | 22:34 |
| blade | blackhawk, what browser.... firefox? | 22:34 |
| blackhawk | yea,or chrome if you know that too,but mainly firefox | 22:35 |
| OerHeks | ___Alex___, does right-alt + printscreen + K log you out ( ugly way, i know ) wich keeps your processes running, and i hope this disable screeensaver ? | 22:35 |
| hamed | this is the picture of the pen i want to buy and i want it's programmes | 22:35 |
| blade | blackhawk, open firefox and go to the tools tab... then to addons | 22:36 |
| blade | blackhawk, search for your plugin or browse | 22:36 |
| blade | i thought i seen nitwit | 22:37 |

| ___Alex___ | OerHeks: logging out usually kills all windows | 22:38 |
| [snake] | Ok, I installed windows AFTER ubuntu. and then I fixed the grub so I am in ubuntu now. but how can I get a nice menu for at bootup? | 22:39 |
| ___Alex___ | OerHeks: so I'm avoiding doing that ;) | 22:39 |
| [snake] | im using grub2 | 22:39 |
| blade | blackhawk, in that same tab that i told you about you can search for ones that are not installed also | 22:39 |
| Eighteens | never install windows after ubuntu, lol | 22:39 |
| edbian | [snake]: If you fixed grub it should show the menu at every boot now. | 22:39 |
| OerHeks | ___Alex___, hard logout kills ? oops, sorry my bad | 22:40 |
| blade | eighteens no problem lol | 22:40 |
| ___Alex___ | OerHeks: the screensaver has been disabled, but the windows' aren't redrawing... tried to do a gtk-window-decorator --replace but no luck... (I broke down and installed elinks) | 22:40 |

| \bMike\b | When I try to mount my encrypted directory using the instructions on the wiki, I only get the Readme file and the .desktop file. Are the instructions out of date? | 22:42 |

| [snake] | edbian, I'm back. it didn't work. | 22:42 |
| quem | anyone with experience of turning off webcam led? :) | 22:43 |
| edbian | [snake]: What happens when you boot? | 22:43 |
| Eighteens | blade how long have you gone by that nick, just curious if your someone i use to know from like 16 or so years ago | 22:43 |
| [snake] | well, it goes through bios, then i see a cursor blinking in the corner, and bam! within 4 seconds im already logged into ubuntu | 22:43 |
| blade | quem i dont even want to know lol but if you search for cam in your package manager you should find some cool programs | 22:43 |

| davekong42 | I am using Natty amd64 and have two monitors. When I don't set the displays to both have the same resolution the wallpaper turns black and objects that appear on the screen stay there indefinitely, is this a known bug? Is there some way to fix this? | 22:45 |
| [snake] | edbian needs an award, he's helping at least three or four people right now. | 22:45 |

| === P|Testing is now known as Pilif12p | ||
| edbian | [snake]: After you change that file run sudo update-grub | 22:49 |
| edbian | [snake]: pressing shift during boot is the workaround to see the menu | 22:49 |

| cyperbg | OerHeks what is the command to check I set the permissions properly | 23:12 |

| justine777w | dougsko: yes, i understand that i need to read the directions, but i do not quite understand them. | 23:18 |

| OerHeks | gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local #and put your command before exit 0 | 23:21 |
| cyperbg | OerHeks I did gksudo nautilius and then I opened it, otherwise can't edit it | 23:21 |
| cyperbg | I think this is the same | 23:21 |
| OerHeks | same way to edit it as root, oke | 23:22 |
| cyperbg | so I did that | 23:22 |
| OerHeks | cyperbg, did you set it before exit 0 ? | 23:22 |

| bmanplus2 | I got a question for you all if anyone has the time | 23:28 |
| DasEi | just ask bmanplus2 | 23:28 |
| slashfoo | is there still an issue with flash and 64bit linuxes? | 23:29 |
| bmanplus2 | well I dont know if I am in the right place but when vineyard is installed it takes over the places menu | 23:29 |
| DasEi | !startup | cyberbg | 23:30 |
| ubottu | cyberbg: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 23:30 |
| bmanplus2 | when I click on a menu in places it asks me where to put it in vineyard | 23:31 |

| cntb | will do dougsko .thank you quick response from you | 23:31 |
| dougsko | cyperbg: read the link i gave you. the short answer is that rc.local is not the debian way of starting things | 23:31 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| cyperbg | dougsko I'll have a read and report back | 23:32 |
| DasEi | cyberbg: you can add it to /etc/rc.local , that file runs with superprivilegs last in backup, and let's you do it, finish it with a "&" (no quotes) | 23:32 |
| DasEi | last in startup* | 23:32 |
| azripah | the upgrade was to natty with about 600MB in new packages | 23:32 |
| azripah | if that helps | 23:33 |
| cyperbg | DasEi I've added it there but dougsko just said that rc.local is not the debian way of starting things | 23:33 |
| CoJaBo | how do I increase the swap size ? | 23:33 |
| cyperbg | DasEi forget it - I added it to the Startup application and it runs fine now :D | 23:33 |
| azripah | go into gparted, unmount it, and increase it | 23:33 |
| azripah | not neccisarily in that order | 23:34 |
| jrib | cyperbg: use @reboot in your crontab or create a proper upstart script | 23:34 |
| CoJaBo | the installer auto-set it wrong (bug?) | 23:34 |
| DasEi | cyperbg: nice, have fun | 23:34 |
| azripah | So can anyone help with my server issue? | 23:34 |
| jrib | cyperbg: note that in startup application it only runs after login | 23:34 |
| azripah | It's rather urgent. | 23:34 |
| jrib | azripah: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 23:35 |
| cyperbg | jrib my username logins automatically | 23:35 |
| CoJaBo | azripah: can it shrink the main position tho? | 23:35 |
| CoJaBo | partition* | 23:35 |
| azripah | jrib: I did- nobody answered | 23:35 |
| azripah | Basically it refuses any connections with http or https | 23:35 |
| azripah | but ssh is fine | 23:35 |
| dougsko | jrib: speaking of upstart, is there a way to make it drop privleges when running something? if it can, i could never figure out how | 23:36 |
| jrib | azripah: verify the server is running? | 23:36 |
| DasEi | CoJaBo: you can use gparted to resize partitions, but then will have to correct the uuids in /etc/fstab | 23:36 |
| azripah | CoJaBo:It can shrink the main partition if you unmount it which is only possible in a live environment | 23:36 |
| azripah | jrib:I'm using irssi on the server actually | 23:36 |
| deven_ | please help me, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed on my pc, everytime i login it keeps default setting for sound preference, how can i make it remember my sound settings on each restart | 23:36 |
| DasEi | !blkid | CoJaBo | 23:36 |
| ubottu | CoJaBo: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:36 |
| jrib | azripah: I mean the server program (like apache) | 23:36 |
| azripah | jrib:yeah, of course. First thing I checked | 23:37 |
| jrib | azripah: so can you view the page locally on the server? | 23:37 |
| azripah | jrib:no, when I go to it on links it says something like permission denied | 23:38 |
| azripah | I can of course view it manually on /var/www | 23:38 |
| slashfoo | excuse me, is there still an issue with adobe flash and 64bit linux systems? | 23:38 |
| CoJaBo | DasEi: where else are the uuids stored? I had to format a swap partition once, and it did not resume from hibernate even after fixing /etc/fstab | 23:38 |

| Colin969 | Hey | 23:41 |
| Colin969 | Can i get some help | 23:41 |
| dougsko | ciss: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Debugging | 23:42 |
| KM0201 | Colin969: if you ask a question | 23:42 |
| Colin969 | Anyone? | 23:42 |
| DasEi | !ASK | Colin969 | 23:42 |
| Colin969 | Ah | 23:42 |
| ubottu | Colin969: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:42 |
| Colin969 | Well... | 23:42 |
| DasEi | ciss: which info you want logged ? | 23:43 |
| CoJaBo | k, new question then- if I reformat a swap partition and fox the uuid in fstab, where else do I have to fix it to get hibernate to work again? | 23:43 |
| Colin969 | I formatted my Ubuntu partion from a second copy of Ubuntu, now on boot I get Error : File Not Found Grub Rescue > | 23:43 |
| Colin969 | I read up about it but i dont have a USB or CD For a few days | 23:43 |
| azripah | so, any help? | 23:43 |
| Colin969 | Is there anyway to boot into XP at all until then? | 23:44 |
| slashfoo | CoJaBo: thanks | 23:44 |
| ciss | DasEi: basically the whole verbose output | 23:44 |
| Colin969 | Nope? | 23:45 |
| DasEi | ciss: look in /var/log (syslog...) and pipe dmesg to a file | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | Colin969, you can repair the MBR with your windows cd | 23:45 |
| DasEi | ciss: also you can disable bootsplash, though messages are hard to read because of speedy scrolling | 23:46 |
| Colin969 | Oerheks, im asking anyway WITHOUT A Ubuntu USB or live CD | 23:46 |
| dougsko | ciss: the link i gave you shows how to do exactly that. the short answer is you add --verbose to your kernel options where upstart is called | 23:46 |
| th0r | Colin969: probably not | 23:46 |
| Colin969 | Damn =/ | 23:46 |
| DasEi | ciss: dmesg > dmesg.txt && gedit dmesg.txt | 23:47 |
| Colin969 | No netbook till wednesday them. | 23:47 |
| hearnoseeno | colin969 you could attempt to use an sd card | 23:47 |
| Colin969 | Oh BTW Th0r is there a way to install a Ubuntu Partition in windows? | 23:47 |
| th0r | Colin969: there is wubi, but I don't use ubuntu so have no experience with it | 23:48 |
| Colin969 | Hearnoseeno The cloest i have is a 512mb MS DUO | 23:48 |
| Colin969 | Which i could use but its JUST Too small | 23:48 |
| hearnoseeno | colin969 | 23:49 |
| Colin969 | Hmm | 23:49 |
| deven_ | how to make system remember my sound preferences forever, it keeps coming to default level on restart currently, i have ubuntu 11.04 installed | 23:49 |
| DasEi | Colin969: 512 bootable ? use netinstaller image | 23:49 |
| hearnoseeno | colin969 well if you're really stuck till wednesday you can always try to just find a small live os | 23:49 |
| hearnoseeno | until you can get ubuntu up and running at another date | 23:50 |
| upgrdman | anyone use wifi and get transfer speeds over 3 - 3.5MB/s? I have a 802.11b/g/n router and adapter cards, both of which support both 2.4 and 5ghz. even with my laptop and router on the same desk i can | 23:50 |
| DasEi | !minimal | Colin969 | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Colin969: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:50 |
| upgrdman | *i can't get more than 3MB/s | 23:50 |
| Colin969 | DasEi, I was wondering as well, why isnt there a Ubuntu Netbook 11.04? I updated fine from 10.10 | 23:51 |
| DasEi | Colin969: netbook is depreciated | 23:51 |
| DasEi | !netbook | 23:51 |
| Colin969 | !netbook | 23:51 |
| Colin969 | Hmm? | 23:51 |
| dougsko | deven_: according to here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting, 'sudo alsactl store 0' might do the trick | 23:52 |
| Colin969 | Ill try out Minimal later if i can get somin done | 23:52 |
| DasEi | Colin969: no factoid there, it's integrated in the standard installer now | 23:52 |
| Colin969 | DasEi, Oh, | 23:53 |
| hearnoseeno | is anyone familiar with chromium-browser? | 23:53 |
| Colin969 | Hearnoseeno Vaguely | 23:53 |
| deven_ | thanks alot dougsko | 23:53 |
| ciss | dougsko: did that already, but the messages were flashing by. i'm currently trying the init=/bin/bash strategy to debug my boot problems | 23:53 |
| DasEi | !details | hearnoseeno | 23:53 |
| ubottu | hearnoseeno: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:53 |
| hearnoseeno | I'm trying to get logging via this command: chromium-browser --enable-logging --v=1 | 23:54 |
| Colin969 | Back in a sec | 23:55 |
| hearnoseeno | trouble is that I can't find the .log file and it's frustrating since the search takes awhile and sometimes crashes or freezes | 23:55 |
| Colin969 | Think i can get this running | 23:55 |
| hearnoseeno | *searching the system's files/folders | 23:56 |
| Colin969 | DasEi, shall I extract the ISO in 7-Zip into the card? | 23:56 |
| DasEi | Colin969: no, use unetbootin for windows and play it to the card | 23:57 |
| Colin969 | Ok. | 23:57 |
| Colin969 | Why do i bloody love this IRC Channel? | 23:58 |
| DasEi | rofl :) | 23:58 |
| Colin969 | Im pissed off too, i'd just downloaded like 80GB of stuff | 23:58 |
| DasEi | Colin969: anyway, keep language friendly | 23:59 |
| \bMike\b | When I try to mount my encrypted directory using the passphrase I wrote down when the encrypted homedir was made, I only get the Readme file and the .desktop file. Am I doing something wrong? | 23:59 |
| Colin969 | Pissed is a bad word? Theres already drinks called Pussy and Boobee | 23:59 |
