| edbian | antihero: I'd just like to figure out a way to get that driver OUT! | 00:00 |
| edbian | :P | 00:00 |
| antihero | edbian: Yeah I want to get back to the goood old nvidia module | 00:00 |
| antihero | that actually works | 00:00 |
| ghostnik11 | edbian: the first line with /boot up to quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 00:00 |
| edbian | ghostnik11: yes | 00:00 |
| edbian | antihero: :/ | 00:00 |
| ghostnik11 | edbian, thanks | 00:01 |
| edbian | ghostnik11: sure | 00:01 |

| BASHn00b | hey guys | 00:06 |
| BASHn00b | good idea or bad idea, trying to get a cute girl a job working with me as a sort of Jr. Jr. system admin | 00:07 |
| BASHn00b | I'm a database admin | 00:07 |
| cSquall | @Bashn00b if you have to ask, I think you already know the answer... | 00:08 |
| BASHn00b | but I could get her a job doing shit like repairing apache and exim file systems | 00:08 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 00:08 |
| edbian | BASHn00b: do it | 00:08 |
| BASHn00b | I really would like to dump my tables in her database though if you know what i mean ^_~ | 00:08 |

| Hamradio2008 | Can someone please tell me how to share my Ubuntu computer into a Windows 7 network "homegroup" I have a home group character string that I entered into the my second windows machine and they can see each others harddrives I want to also share my ubuntu computers hardrive into the windows 7 "homegroup" ??? | 00:10 |
| edbian | Hamradio2008: it's not simple. samba is the solution :) | 00:11 |

| JoeR1 | Hey I need to know where the installed programs folder in is Ubuntu | 00:12 |
| JoeR1 | I need the path | 00:12 |
| BASHn00b | well, any subversion to subversion setup | 00:13 |
| BASHn00b | so like | 00:13 |
| edbian | JoeR1: There isn't one per se. Things mostly go into /usr/bin/ | 00:13 |
| BASHn00b | http://tortoisesvn.net/ on your windows machine and hook it to Eclipse or Netbeans on your linux machine | 00:13 |
| felipe_Brz | I've created a new user on my server. I've added it to the 'admin' user group, and I've added it to the list of 'sudoers' through visudo. However, I'm still not able to do stuff like remove a directory using 'rm'. What am I doing wrong? | 00:13 |
| edbian | felipe_Brz: are you using sudo rm ?? | 00:14 |
| JoeR1 | well specifically I am looking for the Google Earth folder to modify some settings | 00:14 |
| K-Rich | felipe_, rm -rf <directory> | 00:14 |
| K-Rich | also did the user log out and back in ? | 00:15 |
| edbian | JoeR1: /home/you/.google-earth (my guess at the folder name) it's hidden | 00:15 |
| Hamradio2008 | Just for fun This is my Ubuntu computer booting from SSD see youtube ... http://youtu.be/iAs9J0fekT4 | 00:15 |
| JoeR1 | it shouldn't be hidden because I am logged in as root | 00:15 |
| felipe_Brz | edbian: K-Rich: I would like it not to require a passwd... I've just thought of something though, I'll try it now | 00:15 |
| Cas07 | JoeR1: the program should be located in /opt/google | 00:16 |
| edbian | JoeR1: Some files are hidden for every user (root or otherwise) you can see them using ls -a or turning on hidden files in view hidden files in nautilus. You should not be logged in as root in ubuntu. | 00:16 |
| K-Rich | ummmmm there is a way to do that one sec i have notes on it, had to make a tweak so all users could you my proprietary scanner | 00:16 |
| === kaizen is now known as Kaizen | ||
| JoeR1 | edbian - I may not know the folder structure for linux but I assure you i am no fool, I am viewing hidden files | 00:17 |
| edbian | JoeR1: I guessed at the name. I may be wrong. Do you see the other .stuff folders? | 00:18 |
| felipe_Brz | edbian: I would like this user not to require a password to do 'sudo' stuff because I'll be using it in Filezilla to upload files... Does that mean I have to add it to the 'sudo' group instead? Since that's the group I can remove password need for, via 'visudo'?? | 00:18 |
| edbian | felipe_Brz: I'm not sure. I've never done that. I'm worried that doing so might be a security vulnerability | 00:18 |
| K-Rich | felipe_, i have it so all users can run one command as sudoer, the way i did it was 'ALL ALL=NOPASSWD: <command goes here, nexxt command, net etc seperated by comma>'> | 00:19 |
| BASHn00b | uh... not putting a pass on the super user | 00:19 |
| BASHn00b | bad idea | 00:19 |
| K-Rich | should be like 'user ALL=NOPASSWD: <command>' | 00:19 |
| BASHn00b | especally if its connected to a network | 00:19 |
| JoeR1 | edbian - Cas07 had the correct answer, thank you both | 00:19 |

| edbian | JoeR1: sure | 00:20 |
| felipe_Brz | Yeah.. I don't like it either but I think Filezilla requires a user with all the possible control so that it can browse folders and change folders too | 00:20 |
| K-Rich | bobweaver_, man mv, it does both | 00:20 |

| ActionParsnip | bobweaver_: sudo cp ~/.config/munus/applications-kdemenuedit /etc/xdg/application-merged/applications-local.menu | 00:25 |

| jen | question | 00:38 |
| jen | will itunes work on natty? | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: there is a space between sudo and -i | 00:38 |
| tripelb | I autofixed what it said and then saved it to config file and then nothing changed. (I have a floating box that says out of range and I have a not correct aspect ratio. | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: some versions work in some versions of wine | 00:39 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: the sudo -i worked but not the command for the nvidia | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: check the appdb | 00:39 |
| jen | I plan on getting an ipod touch | 00:39 |
| felipe_Brz | ActionParsnip: hmmm... I think what I really want is for a command not to require passwords, OR sudo | 00:39 |
| jen | Im on my cousins dumb windows computor | 00:39 |
| felipe_Brz | ActionParsnip: is that feasible? | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: you just need: sudo apt-get install nvidia-173 and you'll be fine | 00:39 |
| tripelb | jen afaik there is no itunes for linux. | 00:39 |
| jen | I was just wondering for now | 00:39 |
| jen | tripelb: well there is other things that can make it work right? | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: the appdb may be able to tell you | 00:40 |
| JoeR1 | jen I think there are Itunes equivilents but I think I read something about apple cutting linux support | 00:40 |
| jen | ActionParsnip: the who? | 00:40 |
| jen | aww man | 00:40 |
| jen | X_X | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | felipe_Brz: they will need to be in the admin group to use sudo, then the app will not ask for a password, you will lose all user control | 00:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jen: websearch it, you'll see | 00:41 |
| tripelb | well jen I dont know. I am assuming you mean- will make the ipod music communicate with a linux OS. | 00:41 |
| tripelb | jen, maybe you can run itunes in a mac emulator | 00:41 |
| jen | yes, I seen rythombox will? | 00:41 |
| JoeR1 | jen - are you wanting the itues store or just the ability to transfer music | 00:41 |
| jen | ability to transfer apps and music | 00:41 |
| sparc_ | Is there some "Right" way of checking whether a service is up? I was just going to pgrep, but I thought maybe init kept a running tally of what's running, and what's not. | 00:41 |
| tripelb | she has the itunes store thru the ipod jen joer1 | 00:41 |
| JoeR1 | jen - you should be able to do that with programs from the software center | 00:42 |
| jen | say what? | 00:42 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: do i need to restart updating? | 00:42 |
| jen | ok | 00:42 |

| ActionParsnip | jen: no bad thing at all :D | 00:43 |
| jen | ? | 00:43 |
| jen | what do you mean | 00:43 |
| JoeR1 | jen - I detest apple so I can offer little information about the apps or the functionality of an Ipod but I know there are programs in the repositories that will work for most of what the average ipod user will do | 00:43 |
| tripelb | jen you want to be able to take music from your linux computer to your ipod and vice versa. Is this correct? | 00:44 |
| jen | yes and apps | 00:44 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: i was prompted error so such device | 00:44 |
| tripelb | jen I'm not trying to tell you can use things other than an ipod. that's what joer1 is telling you. True or not it doesnt answer your question. ATM I dont know. | 00:45 |

| mel | im running 32-bit natty on a 64 bit processor. it's a new laptop and i didn't think to check what kind of processor it was before i installed. im getting a few issues i thought might be attributed to this. for example, saving a file in gedit takes approx. 2 seconds as opposed to a fraction of a second etc... | 01:09 |
| mel | would this be caused by that? | 01:09 |

| ionite | Gunz4MiPPle: thanks | 01:24 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: the older style pc cards dont work with natty due to nvidia not updating the drivers to work with the new version of the x server | 01:24 |

| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: if you have a fx 5500, it should use the 173 drivers, which should be in apt | 01:31 |
| nit-wit | CaptWho, I haven't spent a lot of time on it but it has wine,skype, the restricted extras, and others stock, a good one for a new user really, not saying you are though, just seems well set up. | 01:32 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | and the 173 drivers will work with natty | 01:32 |
| lwizardl | does anyone know if there is a distribution of CloneZilla designed for PPC based macintosh computers ?? I have a system I could really prefer to have a backup of the system incase of a failure | 01:32 |
| ionite | Gunz4MiPPle: May i have the exact commands because i'm really noob to natty | 01:32 |
| DasEi | ionite: prefixed with sudo ? executable bit set ? done out of x ? (I can't oversee if that's the right driver, but I guess actionPars.. led you there , so I assume it is) | 01:33 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: run 'additional drivers' or jockey | 01:33 |
| nit-wit | CaptWho, desktop is a panel om top and docky on the bottom and left panel | 01:33 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEI no I am doing something wrong I entered sudo apt-key adv and got the screenshot I sent you tried to enter in the --keyserver stuff but would not go forward so I am not doing something, also just closed term and reopened and ran apt-get update and same error | 01:33 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: from the menu button | 01:33 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | not the terminal | 01:33 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: just copy the whole following line in your terminal : | 01:33 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 && sudo apt-get update &&& sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:34 |

| DasEi | bmanplus2: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 5A9A06AEF9CB8DB0 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:34 |
| Galaxor | If not, is there a way to set it up to persist across boots? | 01:34 |
| ionite | Gunz4MiPPle: how can i do over terminal? the additional drivers is giving some problems it freezes after updating half way | 01:34 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: sry, I typed one "&" too much above | 01:35 |
| CaptWho | nit-wit: thanks, i'll take it for a test-flight | 01:35 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: ok, try opening a terminal and typing 'sudo jockey-text' | 01:35 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite: then it should be self explainitory | 01:36 |

| nit-wit | CaptWho, it has it's merits, runs in root but you can set it up not to if you want. | 01:42 |
| CaptWho | the irrating thing about easypeasy is primarily the video drivers | 01:42 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: ok, in your prefs, do you have NVIDIA X server settings? | 01:42 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, remove the skype entry and wait , I'll look for correct entry | 01:43 |

| nit-wit | CaptWho, did you look for help on the drivers on the irc? | 01:43 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: in your Menu > Settings do you have a thinggee for NVIDIA Something | 01:43 |

| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: nope. totally none at all. when i check my additional driver section it shows that i have installed the approprate driver for my natty. | 01:45 |
| abtexas | also is there any reason that my INTERNET back and forward buttons just stopped working | 01:45 |
| Troy^ | slug: please tell me how i can do that? im still learning | 01:45 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi well I may be a moron but I ctrl f ed and looked for skype and could not find it | 01:45 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: when you type 'lsmod' in a terminal, do you see nvidia | 01:45 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: nvm, open another tab in trml (ctrl+t) | 01:46 |
| CaptWho | nit-wit, i did a ton of googling and didn't find anything that worked. xrandr failed a lot and wouldn't find the settings that were built into the video card | 01:46 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 01:46 |
| slug | Troy^: do this: sudo passwd root | 01:47 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:47 |
| dr_willis | there should be no need to set a root password. | 01:47 |
| CaptWho | if i could get a decent video driver, i'd just go back to ubuntu 10.10 | 01:47 |
| Troy^ | i already have a root password | 01:47 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: give resulting url from terminal here | 01:47 |
| slug | Troy^: but i don't advise you to do this, as there's no need to use root directly. if you are learning, use sudo. | 01:47 |
| nit-wit | CaptWho, graphic cards are out of my area in general, and I'm not sure of the easypeasy support, I installed once out of curiosity. | 01:48 |
| Troy^ | slug along with my new experience to linux im going through a bash programming guide and am trying to learn and run my scripts i create | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | slug: if you don't advise it, why give the method.... makes no sense at all | 01:48 |

| tripelb | do I have to reboot after changing my monitor settings to get the new settings working? YES? NO? | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: no | 01:49 |
| CaptWho | nit-wit, they seem to be very machine specific and a lot of the instructions for one card won't help on another card | 01:49 |
| nit-wit | tripelb, if you speakin to me or the other please tab it | 01:50 |
| Troy^ | slug: ty very much | 01:50 |
| slug | Troy^: why do you need su for? | 01:50 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi http://paste.ubuntu.com/654115/ | 01:50 |
| Troy^ | to run certain bash scripts | 01:50 |
| slug | Troy^: why is not sudo enough? | 01:51 |
| Troy^ | hmm maybe i could of just sudo run it | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: you can run scripts with sudo | 01:51 |
| Troy^ | ActionParsnip: see i did not know that | 01:51 |
| CaptWho | nit-wit, but thanks for the suggestions and your help | 01:51 |
| tripelb | nit-wit yes I know. ActionParsnip thanks. the beginners channel just told me to log out and in. I've been asking this same thing in here for hours. AP, I suggest that #ubuntu-beginners be in out TOPIC. | 01:52 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: righty , so you added skype ppa with no need as it's already in ubuntu ; any reason you use backports ? | 01:52 |
| acovrig | lshw shows my wifi, but it doesn't show up in ifconfig as wlan# as it did, now its eth# why!? | 01:52 |
| nit-wit | CaptWho, no problem. | 01:52 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I lied. I got that word in #ubuntu-us-ca which I found out about a few minutes ago. | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: all the more reason you should NOT use root and stick to sudo | 01:53 |
| slug | Troy^: if you want to become root, you can always do sudo -i | 01:53 |
| Troy^ | lol ok i wont use it anymore | 01:53 |
| nit-wit | tripelb, no problem I wasn't really watching the channel so I couldn't tell if it was just us. ;) | 01:53 |
| tripelb | np nit-wit I was reaching out for anyone. | 01:53 |
| Troy^ | ActionParsnip, slug: yea im just experimenting with a bash scripting guide.. wanted to start somewhere to understand more lol | 01:54 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: ? | 01:54 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi cuz im ignorant and did it without knowing, soooo how do I un-do it | 01:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Troy^: there are tonnes of bash samples online, start with basic stuff and ramp up to advanced level :) | 01:54 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: any reason you use backports ? | 01:55 |
| slug | Troy^: well, if you are a beginner, I advise you to not run bash script as root. | 01:55 |
| Troy^ | lol | 01:55 |
| ActionParsnip | bmanplus2: I always just install the deb from the skype site personally | 01:55 |
| slug | Troy^: which documentation are you reading? | 01:55 |
| Troy^ | slug: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 01:55 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi I dont even know what a backport is so yea | 01:55 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, to confirm I need to logout of my account and in to make the new monitor settings viable. | 01:55 |
| lucusoid | please some help! Everytime I try to play a 3D game the mouse is trying to reset its position | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: how did you set the res? | 01:56 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: k, so let'mply settle it and install sky | 01:56 |
| BitWraith | I have tried dpkg --configure -a, and it is not helping. :-/ | 01:56 |
| ActionParsnip | lucusoid: a native linux game or one in Wine? | 01:56 |
| lucusoid | mostly native ones | 01:56 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: when i type lsmod i saw nvidia. and i tried the link actionparsnip gave but when i was at gdm stop i can't proceed from there. | 01:57 |
| BitWraith | I have also cleared my dpkg cache (following unstructions on launchpad), and I'm still getting this parse error | 01:57 |
| lucusoid | like 0ad | 01:57 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: ur sources.t comment the backports lines, safe se files | 01:57 |
| Sexybobo | ok my bios has screwed up the HPA on my drive making it show as 1tb instead of 2 are there any linux tools to fix? | 01:57 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, system,prefs,monitors. chose yes I want the nvidia controls (X-Server) and reset the resolution, chose auto for the rest, said ok to lose the old settings, saved. (this was after a lot of wrong fussing) | 01:58 |
| lucusoid | ActionParsnip: 0ad is unplayable this way. Same thing with crayonphysics | 01:58 |
| acovrig | my wifi isn't working iwlist eth1 scan says there isnt one-yet Im right beside it-why isn't it wlan0? | 01:59 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: when i type lsmod i saw nvidia. and i tried the link actionparsnip gave but when i was at gdm stop i can't proceed from there. | 01:59 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: sorry, overload for a minute here, let's settle it back and install skype | 02:00 |
| Python | Hi | 02:01 |
| Python | Talking in a console | 02:01 |
| Python | so great! | 02:01 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi I am lost I need step by step help at this point | 02:01 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , comment the lines concerning backports (put a # in front that lines) ,save n close gedit | 02:01 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: when you type gdm stop, then you lose the instruction becasue your computer goes into command line mode? | 02:02 |
| lucusoid | please some help! Everytime I try to play a 3D game in full screen the mouse is trying to reset its position to the center | 02:02 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: that's right | 02:02 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: can you print them out? | 02:02 |
| Python | lucusoid: wine ? | 02:02 |
| joao_adventure | Python, i too ^^ | 02:02 |
| lucusoid | Python: No, native Linux games. For all the others I use windows | 02:02 |
| JoeR1 | While I have been sitting here working on google earth and remembering the 5 billion other problems that needed fixed in the 2-ish years I have been using linux I remember why Windows is great | 02:02 |
| ionite_ | how do i print screen? or even print from printer? | 02:02 |
| Python | joao_adventure: :-o no Xorg ? | 02:03 |
| lucusoid | Python: Like some games from the Indie bundle | 02:03 |
| JoeR1 | ionite_ if it is a dell printer there is a good chance it falls into the "worthless in linux" category | 02:03 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: how do i print screen? or even print from printer? | 02:03 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: you dont have a working printer? no matter... just write them down, its pretty easy : 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' and then 'sudo service gdm start' | 02:04 |
| slug | Troy^: for the abs you don't need root | 02:04 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: nono. i mean i tried copying down on paper and when i enter gdm stop what do i do? | 02:04 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: i tried hitting the copied commands but it didn't work. the cursor shows this: _ | 02:05 |
| Troy^ | slug: well the one little script they had that deleted some log files required it | 02:05 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: it doesn't even show ionite@ubuntu:~$ | 02:05 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: well it should go to whats called a virtual terminal, and you would log in | 02:05 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: after gdm shuts down, hit alt + f1 | 02:05 |
| flodine | can someone tell me is there a channel for unity | 02:06 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: there after? | 02:06 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: i mean control + alt + f1 | 02:06 |
| Python | flodine: #unity | 02:06 |
| slug | Troy^: you probably don't want to delete log files. are you running those scripts on your system or on a virtual machine? | 02:06 |
| Troy^ | system | 02:06 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: there after i enter the commands from there? | 02:07 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: that is how you go to virtual terminals, and control alt f7 is the one that will have your gui after you restart gdm | 02:07 |
| Troy^ | slug: on my system | 02:07 |
| slug | Troy^: if you want to start playing with root, i would advise you to run UML or kvm so that you don't mess up your system. | 02:07 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: which, it should automatically return to after you restart gdm | 02:07 |
| ionite_ | Gunz4MiPPle: let me try and update u guys later. thanks for ur help. | 02:07 |
| joao_adventure | Python, I don't know this file, rsrsrs, | 02:07 |

| JoeR1 | does anyone know a way to force linux to display in 60 hz? I am running Xubuntu and in is running my video card at 50hz no matter what I do | 02:08 |
| Gunz4MiPPle | ionite_: yes, hit control alt f1 after you shut down gdm, then login, type sudo nvidia-xconfig and then restart gdm | 02:08 |
| Troy^ | slug: ok thanks :) im thinking of removing my dual boot altogether and just using linux.. im comfortable with it besidesthe fact that i cant play my usual games | 02:08 |
| joao_adventure | I'm level 2, rsrs | 02:08 |

| pluc | Sotware to create Internet Radio... anyone? | 02:11 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: this is then read as a comment, not as an entry, so no harm | 02:11 |
| magn3ts | It is so wildly unacceptable that many gnome pop up dialog boxes inhibit the system screensaver. | 02:11 |
| magn3ts | especially ones that pop up on their own. | 02:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Luig1: sudo apt-get install xfce4 will give you just the DE if that's what you desire | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Luig1: xubuntu-desktop will give you ALL the default apps in Xubuntu as well | 02:12 |
| flodine | why cant you edit that bar on unity? | 02:12 |
| JoeR1 | Luig1, - Somewhat related - I am running Xubuntu and I like the contextual menu available anywhere but I have a harder time finding answers and sometimes Ubuntu solutions do not apply to Xubuntu, sometimes they do but just a heads up | 02:13 |
| flodine | or remove it | 02:13 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi I think I am Done I am saving exiting and running sudo apt-get update | 02:13 |
| Luig1 | Thanks ActionParsnip. Last time I installed a DE (2009) they recommended aptitude for the job because it would allow me to remove all of the new packages at once if I chose to. | 02:13 |
| tcp | hi, how to change GUI login screen to CLI login screen without startx command ?? | 02:13 |
| nit-wit | flodine, it's part of the design, you can run the classic desktop from the login window | 02:13 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: save, but not yet update | 02:13 |
| Luig1 | Thanks, JoeR1 ! I'll keep that in mind. | 02:14 |

| flodine | nit-wit will classic desktop be in the next release? | 02:14 |
| Troy^ | flodine: i hope so because gnome 2 is the best | 02:14 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: more than 1 entry of skype ? | 02:14 |
| flodine | im downloading debian right now. | 02:15 |
| joao_adventure | Python, oh, i'm sorry, my english is bad, i didn't understand your question. English not is my first language. | 02:15 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi hold on looking | 02:15 |
| xangua | flodine: Troy^ it will not | 02:15 |
| flodine | wow i never wanted to leave ubuntu but owell. | 02:16 |
| nit-wit | flodine, that sounds more applicable even the classic desktop on unity is not a true classic. | 02:16 |
| JoeR1 | So did anyone evey offer up a solution to the issue of refresh rate? | 02:16 |
| nit-wit | On 11.04 that is | 02:16 |
| flodine | nit-wit im on 10.04 | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: use what you wish | 02:17 |
| flodine | just thinking of the next LTS wont have classic | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: unity2D will replace classic in Oneiric | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: you do know there are more desktops than gnome? | 02:18 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi no just skype.list and skype.list.save | 02:18 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: fine; sudo rm * | 02:19 |

| deven_ | everytime i restart pc my ubuntu sound level goes to default how can i change it for permanant | 02:19 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install skype | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: you can run another DE and run all the same apps you do now | 02:20 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: rm * will delete the two there | 02:20 |
| neophtye | I'm curious. what changes regarding Canonical's relationship to an Ubuntu release when LTS ends? (links to other resources are appreciated as well) | 02:21 |
| flodine | no thxs im going to keep 10.04 and run debian on my other laptop love that classic gnome. | 02:21 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, nevermind I must go | 02:21 |
| DasEi | neophtye: me too, but rather a concern for #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:21 |
| neophtye | DasEi: danke! | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: seems really OTT to change distro just for a DE | 02:22 |

| H3aDsHot | it is listed and recognized, but no sound comes out | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | aeon-ltd: oh true but the rationale is pretty immature if you ask me | 02:23 |
| hoang | ola | 02:23 |
| H3aDsHot | is there some repository for bleeding-edge alsa/pulseaudio software? | 02:23 |
| H3aDsHot | or maybe there's some config option that i'm missing | 02:24 |
| bmanplus2 | DasEi just ran rm * now still in directory should I apt-get update in the /etc or should i cd .. | 02:24 |
| flodine | ActionParsnip are you saying debians a bad choice. | 02:25 |
| DasEi | bmanplus2: doesn't matter , works in every dir (but DON'T use rm elsewhere unless you know what is up) | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | flodine: no, just that your reason for changing distro is a bit strange | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | H3aDsHot: in which release? | 02:27 |
| DasEi | ActionParsnip: lil ot here, but a concern to me , too | 02:27 |
| pythonirc1011 | ActionParsnip: How do i change the font size/font in guake? | 02:27 |

| codename09 | like pidgin -data | 03:10 |
| confezzor | you can try this one http://pidgin.en.softonic.com/ | 03:10 |
| confezzor | it's one verison back | 03:10 |
| TBotNik | Repeating: All: Well back to my drama. Please read my writeup and look over the drawing at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11097226#post11097226 All help appreciated! Thanks! | 03:10 |
| Snooffy | it would check which one is on and than ifdown the one and ifup the other... basically how to form IF to get adapter name which is currently on | 03:10 |
| Tripp | Evening Guys | 03:11 |
| confezzor | and code if you are thinking about that you can just run sudo apt-get -f install and that should fix it in the terminal | 03:11 |
| confezzor | that's if it's missing any dependency | 03:12 |
| Tripp | Just did a fresh ubuntu server 11.04 installed on a GX280. Install went fine asked me to reboot. PC Posted fine. as soon as the monitor leaves the post screen all video signal dropped | 03:12 |
| Tripp | any thoughts? | 03:12 |
| shadow__ | Tripp, video card? | 03:12 |
| Tripp | 1 sec shadow | 03:12 |
| kanti | t2 anyone? | 03:12 |
| codename09 | confezzor oh that wont work .. cuz i had installed 2.7 and i want to go back to 2.6 | 03:12 |
| drake01 | codename09, Follow this: Try to search for the ubuntu version which was having the pidgin version you want say ubuntu 10.04. Now add the ubuntu 10.04 to the software list in other software tab. Now reload and search for pidgin in synaptic package manager. U'll be able to find the old version there. Select and install it. Also from menu option lock the version so that it does not update with other available updates. This is general way to downgrade any s | 03:13 |
| drake01 | /w. It takes care of dependency also. | 03:13 |
| codename09 | but i guess i m just gonna try building from source than and install any missing dep ! | 03:13 |
| confezzor | ok than do the 2.6 and try that | 03:13 |
| Snooffy | ActionParsnip: or what would be a system variable where is current running adapter shown.,,, i get that from ifconfig, but how could i possibly use that in conjunction with IF | 03:13 |
| kanti | i use ubuntu | 03:13 |
| kanti | what is the problem? | 03:13 |
| kanti | if pidgin isnt working | 03:14 |
| kanti | download smuxi. its a good irc client for ubuntu | 03:14 |
| shadow__ | kanti, have you double checked your account setup? | 03:14 |
| codename09 | drake01 thanks man ! | 03:14 |
| Tripp | shadow__ : looks to be a radeon card | 03:14 |
| Ninjagamer | so what do you guys think is a good irc client with lots of customization? i've used empathy and pidgin. pidgin is ok but i def don't like empathy for irc. | 03:15 |
| Tripp | can't say for sure but looks like a 5570 | 03:15 |
| Tripp | single dvi output on it | 03:15 |
| Tripp | I will try switching to the onboard and see if there is signal there | 03:15 |
| shoenig | Ninjagamer, what do you mean by customization? | 03:15 |
| shoenig | irssi is very good | 03:16 |
| shadow__ | Tripp, I'm not used to video card problem but i suggest you search for documentation :D | 03:16 |
| codename09 | ninjagamer x-chat is great ! | 03:16 |
| drake01 | codename09, U r always welcome. But thanks me afterinstalling only. | 03:16 |
| Ninjagamer | for example like somehow highlighting when your name is mentioned | 03:16 |
| Ninjagamer | maybe highlight certain people with colors? | 03:17 |
| afaty | Hello, everyone, in which HISTFILE variable defined in the file? | 03:17 |

| codename09 | drake01 one more question .. how do i add 10.04 repo ??? | 03:24 |
| W43372 | StepNJump, that happened to me a few times. | 03:24 |
| StepNjump | W43372, what did you do? reboot? | 03:25 |
| Ninjagamer | i played with OS X Lion the other day and I really enjoyed the multitouch gestures. this lead me to install touchegg (i'm on 10.10). some things worked and other didn't. i could get two-finger scrolling in all directions to work but not three-finger scrolling. three-finger tapping worked however | 03:25 |
| confezzor | code go into software sources in system preferneces | 03:25 |
| W43372 | StepNJump, no. I just went WTH?? and clicked randomly on the screen until it fixed itself. It only happened to me a couple of times. Sorry I can't actually help. | 03:26 |
| confezzor | i mean administration | 03:26 |
| Ninjagamer | StepNJump, this has happened to me too. it seems to fix itself. | 03:27 |
| codename09 | confezzor i did but i dont know what do next i mean there are natty repos there .. | 03:27 |
| StepNjump | W43372 ok.. WTH! lol thanks! | 03:27 |
| W43372 | Oh, wait! Now I remember. Lets say that I have source code compressed into a tar.gz what am i supposed to so with that? I've aways been clueless when it comes to source. | 03:27 |
| drake01 | codename09, in synaptic manager, settings->Reositories->OtherSoftwares->u need to add " deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu /lucid main" without quotes to add lucid lynx repo. Now reload. | 03:27 |
| W43372 | StepNjump, yup. | 03:27 |
| StepNjump | What is the app that allows to stop and restart apps (equivalent to restarting explorer.exe in Win)? | 03:28 |
| nit-wit | W43372, cd ./configure /make unpack it. | 03:28 |
| StepNjump | I like that WTH.. never heard that one b4 | 03:28 |

| seclm193 | Is there a way to repair the Gnome Shell in 10.10? My screen is a little wacked. The Logout button at the top is missing. I can post screenshot | 03:29 |
| zykotick9 | StepNjump, kill or killall or top - are some cli options | 03:29 |
| Ninjagamer | it's under System> Administration | 03:30 |
| StepNjump | I dont know how to run ps | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | StepNjump, "ps aux" to list all running processes | 03:30 |
| drake01 | codename09, There r 2 spaces in the text within quotes"deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main" one after ubuntu/ and other after lucid | 03:30 |
| W43372 | StepNjump, you can also open a term window and enter kill <PID # of prog in sysmon> or killall <nameofprog>. Example, when conky gives me problems when I play with the code I enter killall conky | 03:30 |
| W43372 | nit-wit, can you be more specific? | 03:30 |
| Ninjagamer | i love conky | 03:30 |
| StepNjump | ok zykotick9 thanks also to W43372. Ill give it a try | 03:31 |
| Reaper | crap, took forever to get here now I cant remember my questions lol | 03:31 |
| seclm193 | anyone have any ideas on repairing that? | 03:31 |
| W43372 | Ninjagamer, Yeah, it is pretty sweet. | 03:31 |
| W43372 | StepNjump, no problem. | 03:31 |

| Ninjagamer | lol | 03:31 |
| zykotick9 | seclm193, do you mean gnome-shell like Gnome3? | 03:31 |
| codename09 | got it ! | 03:31 |
| Ninjagamer | does anyone know a site that might mention the specs of a laptops trackpad? | 03:32 |
| arooni-mobile | cant get weather applet working on ubuntu 11.04; tried installing indicator-weather. seeing: LilArooni ~: indicator-weather; Another instance of this program is already running; LilArooni ~: | 03:32 |
| kanti | t2 | 03:32 |
| kanti | anyone? | 03:32 |
| W43372 | Ninjagamer, most tech sites like endgadget and whatnot usually tell you if the trackpad supports multi-touch. | 03:32 |
| StepNjump | W43372, and to restart unity? | 03:33 |
| W43372 | Ninjagamer, the netbook I use has multi-touch, but it only worked in windows. | 03:33 |
| gnewb | Is 11.04 slow on all PCs? | 03:33 |
| W43372 | StepNjump, I have no idea. Whenever unity gave me an issue I would reboot. | 03:33 |
| W43372 | gnewb, no. | 03:33 |
| StepNjump | lol | 03:33 |
| StepNjump | ok... | 03:33 |
| Zelda | can someone help me with my HDMI driver? its not showing when I lspci. | 03:33 |
| kanti | someone play me in t2 ;/ | 03:33 |
| StepNjump | I guess I should do that | 03:33 |
| gnewb | W43372: Thank you | 03:34 |
| StepNjump | I probably need more RAM W43372 | 03:34 |
| nit-wit | W43372, sorry it took so long it can be confusing so tried to find a link I could understand at the least. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unpacking-or-uncompressing-gz-files/ | 03:34 |

| meomic | hey, my os is ubuntu 11.04x86-64 , ive used wireshark - dumped packets and it crashed - i killed it but now new istnance cant see any interfaces on which it can dump (bt the net works) - what could have died - i cant reboot - so much stuff opened | 03:34 |
| Ninjagamer | well i know that mine does. i'm using twp-finger scrolling right now but when i tried using touchegg to add gestures some worked and some didn't. so i was hoping to somehow find more info | 03:34 |
| W43372 | StepNjump, I've only got 1GB of RAM in this 'book. | 03:34 |
| gnewb | W43772: Just slow, CPU cycles look ok, RAM looks good, maybe I need to tweak it or something, I am running fresh vanilla install. 512mb RAM, PIII or better. | 03:35 |
| UltraParadigm | kanti: What's T2? | 03:35 |
| kanti | standard... | 03:36 |
| W43372 | gnewb, ooooooh >.< yeah you're going to run slow. Try Karmic or lower. Karmic ran nearly perfect on the old laptop I used to use before upgrading. | 03:36 |
| W43372 | nit-wit so I need to unpack the tarball before I can compile the source code? | 03:36 |
| gnewb | W43372: Thank you. | 03:37 |
| crc32 | Anyone know how to setup an ubuntu repo? | 03:37 |
| crc32 | reprepro doesn''t support versioning | 03:37 |
| crc32 | but it seems every one is allegedly using reprepro | 03:38 |
| W43372 | gnewb, I've only got a gig of DDR3 RAM in this netbook and I'm currently using 97% RAM and 17% on Swap just to put it in perspective for you. | 03:38 |
| nit-wit | W43372, you unpack it and run a config to compile then make to install., I rarely do it so I'm probably not your best source, others on though know this stuff front and backwards. | 03:38 |
| Reaper | so how do I add something to the "task bar"? | 03:38 |
| === Tripp is now known as wrtiii | ||
| zykotick9 | !checkinstall | W43372 | 03:39 |
| W43372 | nit-wit; so you were saying earlier that I CD to where I unpack it then type in /config followed by /make? | 03:39 |
| ubottu | W43372: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 03:39 |
| Ninjagamer | W43372, are things smooth? | 03:39 |
| Reaper | I guess it would be called the launcher | 03:39 |
| nit-wit | W43372, sometimes times the tar has a run script, always a rad me for help. | 03:40 |
| nit-wit | *read | 03:40 |
| W43372 | Ninjagamer, I'm sorry; what? | 03:40 |
| Reaper | anyone know how to put something inthe launcher that i've already dl'ed? | 03:40 |
| nit-wit | W43372, the cd is to open the directory where it's at the the command to unpack it. | 03:40 |
| codename09 | reaper what do u want to add ? | 03:40 |
| nit-wit | *then the | 03:41 |
| Ninjagamer | is your netbook running smoothly such little RAM left? | 03:41 |
| W43372 | Reaper; drag, drop | 03:41 |
| Reaper | lol ill give it a try | 03:41 |
| Reaper | seems so simple | 03:41 |
| W43372 | Ninjagamer, as long as I don't go overboard. Don't run a bunch of tabs in chrome, try not to have too many things open at once. | 03:41 |
| nit-wit | W43372, for example if in Downloads it would be cd ~/Downloads | 03:41 |
| Reaper | im super new btw lol | 03:41 |
| W43372 | Reaper; don't feel bad, we were all there once. | 03:42 |

| W43372 | Reaper, I've only been doing this for a couple of years and I'm still learning new stuff every day. | 03:42 |

| W43372 | gnewb, I couldn't tell you. I just do Ubuntu straight up. I never used NBR on my mobiles. I used Karmic Desktop on my old lappy and it ran fine. | 03:43 |
| nit-wit | W43372, gotta step out for a few minutes, you will figure this out and know more than me which is not much. ;) | 03:43 |
| civillian | I'm trying to debug unicorn for high CPU usage, running a rails app, I want to know what the worker process is doing | 03:43 |
| Reaper | brb gonna see if it stays in the launcher | 03:43 |
| W43372 | nit-wit, thanks, only ever built source a few times before this a year and a half ago and pretty sure i didn't do it right then. | 03:44 |
| W43372 | Crap, I forgot to tell Reaper that he needs to right click and select 'keep in launcher' =/ | 03:44 |
| gnewb | W43372: Okee dokee, Thank you, I will look into that now, hopefully I can just transition it, rather than a download, install.... | 03:44 |

| reaper | yep drag and drop works but cant be in the prog before you do that | 03:46 |
| demian | ? | 03:46 |

| Ninjagamer | well, actually i got it to work with nomodeset but the resolution was off and wasn't adjustable | 03:47 |
| demian | W43372 | 03:47 |

| seton | only problem I've had with ubuntu is that suspend never works. | 04:06 |
| Doktor_Zhivago | mine works great | 04:06 |
| felipe_Brz | drake01: Hm... At home I have 11.04 and I got php 5.3.5 from apt-get.... But my VPS has 10.10 LTS I think... That may be why an old version of php5 got installed?? Because it's ubuntu 10 rather than 11???? | 04:06 |

| george_e | Does anybody know a command that given a function, will return the shared library that exports it? | 04:07 |
| drake01 | felipe_Brz, Exactly!!! | 04:07 |
| Darksmurf | zykotick9, oops, k :-) | 04:07 |
| drake01 | felipe_Brz, As I said stable + available | 04:07 |
| townes | are there any ubuntu programs out for google plus? just trying to keep up and see what's out there | 04:07 |
| townes | vague question I know :) I mean things besides browser extensions | 04:07 |
| dr_willis | townes: ive not seen ay yet | 04:08 |
| george_e | townes: There won't be until Google finishes their API. | 04:08 |
| townes | dr_willis, ah okay | 04:08 |
| felipe_Brz | drake01: oh that explains it.... so the apps you get from running apt-get in different versions of ubuntu are different too? That's news to me... Thanks anyway | 04:08 |
| townes | george_e, good point, good point | 04:08 |
| Ninjagamer | Google+ doesn't have an API yet, so no, townes | 04:08 |
| drake01 | felipe_Brz, If u desperately need the one available on 11.04. Add 11.04 repo in other softwares list and install usin synaptic manager | 04:08 |
| townes | sorry I forget the obvious Ninjagamer :) | 04:08 |
| george_e | I've signed up to be notified when they start testing it. | 04:08 |
| seton | YA!!!!! Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 comes out next week ( http://goo.gl/ucbCf ) | 04:09 |
| townes | so you've got a few ideas yourself | 04:09 |
| dr_willis | felipe_Brz: different versions of course.. unless theres no new versiont out in the 6 mo between releases | 04:09 |
| Ninjagamer | townes, that's the problem with technology, there are too many technicalities | 04:09 |
| townes | Ninjagamer, yeah. I'm not a programmer type, I just wanted to see if I was missing anything, in a curious mood | 04:10 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, <OT> I found this quote I recorded from you yesterday going through my notes, still makes me laugh. <Dr_Willis> but with compiz eyecandy it Vacumes in a sexy little maid outfit! </OT> | 04:10 |
| seton | but technicalities makes things neat | 04:10 |
| Ninjagamer | lol they do seton | 04:10 |
| townes | well good luck to all the coders when G+ gets ready to open it up for all you people | 04:11 |
| townes | can't wait to see where this goes | 04:11 |
| seton | Wonder if kernal 3 will finally fix my suspend issue | 04:11 |
| zykotick9 | seton, lol - i'm seeing a lot of people with suspend issues with 3 | 04:12 |
| Ninjagamer | so will 11.10 use kernel 3? | 04:12 |
| seton | really!!! | 04:12 |
| seton | yes | 04:12 |
| zykotick9 | seton, who knows? perhaps yours is fixed? | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | when i get such fast boot times and loong up times. i rarely suspend.. unless i hit that button by mistake. ;) | 04:12 |
| dr_willis | Ninjagamer: yes | 04:13 |
| Ninjagamer | cool. hopefully 11.10 fixes the modem manager bug. i feel like it must only happen on slower systems like the one i have | 04:13 |

| seton | modem?? who still uses a phone modem?? | 04:14 |
| Ninjagamer | i don't but i still get that bug | 04:14 |
| seton | Action Parsnip: we're just random chatting | 04:14 |
| dsister | Whenever I log on I need to unlock a keyring to get online. Is there anyway to get pass this? [my laptop running Ubuntu doesn't need to, neither does my w7 partition] | 04:14 |
| confezzor | omg a phone modem lol...i know some companys that still have them up and running | 04:14 |
| zykotick9 | seton, "random chatting" is actually OT in this channel | 04:15 |
| Ninjagamer | it slows everything down to a crawl and then i just reboot to fix it | 04:15 |
| seton | A take all phone modems out back with 22 | 04:15 |

| JZApples | What is the easiest way to change the gnome toolbar font color? I installed gnome-color-manager, but am not having any luck. | 04:16 |
| zykotick9 | JZApples, the "easiest" way would be to change your theme I believe | 04:16 |
| Ninjagamer | do you think if i physically remove the modem from inside the case it will stop hanging on modem manager? | 04:17 |
| seton | Tried getting neat background then make toolbar clear?? | 04:17 |
| seton | would think so | 04:17 |
| JZApples | zykotick9, I like the theme I have, just can't really read the file,edit, etc and datetime very well. | 04:17 |
| Ninjagamer | JZapples, what version are you running? | 04:18 |
| JZApples | 11.Ninjagamer, 04 | 04:18 |
| JZApples | woops | 04:18 |
| JZApples | 11.04 ninjagamer | 04:18 |
| seton | I'm out, laterz | 04:19 |
| Ninjagamer | you can't customize it in the appearance preferences? | 04:19 |
| * drake01 is leavin in 5 minutes | 04:20 | |
| gogeta | drake01: request denyed | 04:20 |
| drake01 | gogeta: ha ha! sudo drake01 is leavin in 5 min | 04:21 |
| Ninjagamer | lol | 04:21 |
| Ninjagamer | so nobody knows anything about the modem manager issue? | 04:22 |
| zykotick9 | drake01, "sudo make me a sandwich" | 04:22 |
| confezzor | lol | 04:23 |
| drake01 | zykotick9: you are not in sudoers list. This will be reported | 04:23 |
| gogeta | Ninjagamer: modem manager? relly a modem | 04:23 |
| zykotick9 | drake01, literally LOL | 04:23 |

| ronin___ | Hi, How can I change my gcc4.5.2 to 3.2 in ubuntu 10.10? | 04:23 |
| Ninjagamer | gogeta, like said before i'm not using it (it is inside my machine though) but i still get the bug | 04:24 |
| * drake01 is thinkin "Y the hell everybody tryin to downgrade their softwares?" | 04:24 | |
| gogeta | Ninjagamer: so you would care why? | 04:24 |
| confezzor | lol | 04:24 |
| ministerdude | does ubuntu have a 'back' button to revert to default? | 04:24 |
| confezzor | downgrading is sometimes best | 04:24 |
| gerzel | I'm wondering if anyone can help me. Whenever I use a JAVA program that works with sound I get bad distortion. I'm using the Sun JRE and 11.04 ubuntu. Anyone know why the two are not playing nice? | 04:25 |
| gerzel | I'd really appreciate any help I could get | 04:25 |
| Ninjagamer | gogeta, when i boot it sometimes slows everything down and i have to reboot to fix it | 04:25 |
| philippe-b-winte | :( | 04:25 |
| gogeta | ronin___: should be in the repos and multi version of gcc can be installed along side eatch other you will just need to tell it witch one to use | 04:25 |
| confezzor | you sould install the JDK one gerzel | 04:26 |
| JZApples | So there's no easy way to change the toolbar font color? | 04:26 |
| gogeta | Ninjagamer: i say blacklist it from the modprobe | 04:26 |
| * drake01 has left the chatroom. | 04:26 | |
| gogeta | Ninjagamer: no modem to see no bug | 04:26 |
| confezzor | no JZApples not in 11.04 | 04:26 |
| confezzor | at least not yet until 12.04 hopefully | 04:27 |
| ronin___ | gogeta: I need to change the gcc? | 04:27 |
| Ninjagamer | modprobe? | 04:27 |
| JZApples | Is there a way to edit a config file or something and add the hex value? | 04:27 |
| gogeta | ronin___: no | 04:27 |
| ronin___ | gogeta: I can install them | 04:27 |
| gerzel | Confezzor: I have sun jdk installed as well. JRE is required for the JDK | 04:27 |
| gogeta | ronin___: yea you can use 3 to compile if you whant wile still ahve 4 installed | 04:28 |
| gogeta | have | 04:28 |
| blade | the xbox 360 wired controller should be plug and play with Ubuntu 10.10 but when I run lsusb I get "Bus 007 Device 002: ID 162e:beef" | 04:28 |
| gogeta | ronin___: it will even say this and tell you ewhat option to pass | 04:28 |
| gogeta | what | 04:28 |
| confezzor | gerzel: if you have the open JDK you shouldn't have the need to have the JRE from what i know i could be wrong | 04:28 |
| ronin___ | gogeta: How? | 04:28 |
| gogeta | ronin___: when there both installed it will see it | 04:28 |
| gerzel | I don't have the open jdk I have the sun jdk | 04:29 |
| r000t | I have a x64 chip. Is there any reason I shouldn't use Ubuntu x64? | 04:30 |
| JZApples | blade, you should eat it. | 04:30 |
| confezzor | yea the sun one always gave me issues to...try just using the open JDK in the repos | 04:30 |
| gogeta | r000t: no | 04:30 |
| blade | r000t, how much ram do you have | 04:30 |
| r000t | 4GB | 04:31 |
| felipe_Brz | Does anybody know whether it's safe to use this PPA to download the latest version of php for older ubuntu versions?: ppa:fabianarias/php5 | 04:31 |
| blade | JZApples, now why would you say something like that | 04:31 |
| gogeta | r000t: gotta admit linux 64 finnly cought up with the 32 bit packages | 04:31 |
| gogeta | r000t: and the 32 bit emu works very wlel to | 04:31 |
| gogeta | well | 04:31 |
| JZApples | blade, its made of delicious ID 162e:beef | 04:31 |
| r000t | Does the 32bit emu work automatically? | 04:31 |
| gogeta | r000t: yes | 04:31 |
| r000t | A friend says it has problems with Flash. Is this true? | 04:32 |
| gogeta | r000t: flash 64 is out now | 04:32 |
| blade | JZApples, lol... yea i seen that... when i would google the problem... guess what i would get | 04:32 |
| confezzor | no they fixed it | 04:32 |
| confezzor | yea it's out | 04:32 |
| r000t | Okay. Now, I can only assume x64 processes twice as fast. Am I close? | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: there is a 64bit native flash but the one in the repos will also work fine | 04:32 |
| EnigmaticCoder | How do I check if a certain pearl module is installed on my system? | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: 64bit isn't twice as fast | 04:32 |
| r000t | So what's the advantage to having twice the word size? | 04:33 |
| Ninjagamer | r000T: more basically | 04:33 |
| gogeta | r000t: faster task just not twce as fast | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: higher resolution of calculations, also data transforms and such benefit too (encoding audio and video etc) | 04:33 |
| blade | r000t, it is more efficient as well as faster | 04:33 |
| Ninjagamer | r000t: more RAM use as well i what i meant | 04:33 |
| confezzor | well 64bit lets you use more than 4GB of RAM has better encryption as well.. | 04:33 |
| gnewb | W3372: Back, all fixed. | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | confezzor: PAE for 32Bot allows up to 64Gb RAM... | 04:34 |
| r000t | Well thanks guys. I'll be back when I invariably fuck something up. | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Bit* | 04:34 |
| gnewb | W43372: Back., all fixed | 04:34 |
| confezzor | yea that works to with the PAE but not all Linux distro's support it | 04:34 |
| bcx | hi there | 04:34 |
| felipe_Brz | Does anybody know a good/official PPA for the latest versions of PHP? | 04:34 |
| Ninjagamer | r000t: that's the spirit | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | confezzor: true but the subject of the channel is Ubuntu, which does | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | felipe_Brz | 04:34 |

| confezzor | ok never had to use it for pure Ubuntu, now i know..thanks for the info | 04:35 |
| felipe_Brz | ActionParsnip: thank you | 04:35 |
| gogeta | confezzor: i think 64 bit is 128gb | 04:35 |
| r000t | One more question | 04:35 |
| r000t | 32bit Ubuntu is reporting only 3.4GB RAM | 04:36 |
| bcx | hi there, I have a directory that has like more than 400000 files in it.. Is there some way to iterate over the files in the directory | 04:36 |
| r000t | Will it still only report 3.4GB when I go x64? | 04:36 |
| gogeta | r000t: thats couse thats the max for 32bit | 04:36 |
| zykotick9 | r000t, no 64 bit can use all your memory. | 04:36 |
| gogeta | r000t: well if you have shared memery somes getting used for video | 04:36 |
| blade | r000t, it may also have to do with how much ram you have dedicated to your on board video | 04:36 |
| Ninjagamer | also there are a few lines of code that can enable more RAM in 32bit ubuntu | 04:37 |
| zykotick9 | Ninjagamer, PAE is a "hack" and not a very good one... | 04:37 |
| gogeta | Ninjagamer: he will be fine in 64 heh | 04:37 |
| r000t | blade: I have an Nvidia 8800GS | 04:38 |
| r000t | which bring me to my last question | 04:38 |
| Ninjagamer | ah ok. i've never used it. | 04:38 |
| zaya | yeah 64 will change some things | 04:38 |
| r000t | Will there be drivers for it on the x64 side? | 04:38 |
| gogeta | r000t: yep | 04:38 |
| blade | r000t, do you have your onboard disabled in bios? | 04:38 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: you will see the full RAM. The drivers wil be fine | 04:38 |
| JZApples | Is there a way to automatically refresh the window through gnome when cutting and pasting something out of the current location? I have to manually do it in 11.04. | 04:38 |
| zaya | a lot of the 32 bit is compatible on 64 | 04:38 |
| r000t | blade: There is no onboard video. It needs a gfx card. It's actually a 'TV PC'... I just took the TV part out | 04:39 |
| confezzor | PAE lets your kernel use more than 4GB of RAM on a x86 PC...it's not bad | 04:39 |
| r000t | The thing's got composite inputs on the front AND back... | 04:39 |
| blade | r000t, ahhh ok | 04:39 |
| r000t | MythTV likes it | 04:39 |
| r000t | I have no use for it | 04:39 |
| r000t | until I can afford a CableCARD | 04:39 |
| gogeta | r000t: tv pc? | 04:40 |
| zykotick9 | confezzor, the kernel using 4GB of RAM is partially correct. the "it's not bad" is also partially correct. | 04:40 |
| gogeta | r000t: do you mean a media center | 04:40 |
| r000t | gogeta: It's what HP calls it on the labels on the front | 04:40 |
| zaya | gogeta probably so | 04:40 |
| gogeta | r000t: oh hps touch screen pc | 04:40 |
| confezzor | how so? | 04:40 |
| r000t | nope | 04:40 |
| r000t | "HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC" | 04:40 |
| Ninjagamer | a home theater pc | 04:40 |
| zykotick9 | confezzor, i'm told individual apps can only use 1.8GB | 04:41 |
| confezzor | when i used it nothing bad happened..and i've used it many times on other distro's | 04:41 |
| gogeta | r000t: yea i seen them pretty nice but pricey | 04:41 |
| r000t | I got mine for free | 04:41 |
| gogeta | ein | 04:41 |
| gogeta | win | 04:41 |
| zaya | r000t nice find | 04:41 |
| r000t | because it would not boot for my father. I quickly diagnosed the PSU as the problem, fetched a server PSU from the basement, worked fie | 04:41 |
| zykotick9 | confezzor, why not use the real thing? 64bit to actually use all your memory. The nothing bad is what i meant by you're "partically correct" | 04:42 |
| gogeta | r000t: whos house toy rob for that | 04:42 |
| confezzor | ohh...than that sucks...but i never seen a decrease in my app's performances | 04:42 |
| gogeta | r000t: lol your dad | 04:42 |
| r000t | He ragequit and bought a new machine, and he raged harder when I fixed it within 90 seconds | 04:42 |
| Ninjagamer | lol | 04:42 |
| confezzor | zykotick9 it wasn't for me it was for someone else in chat talking about it...i use 64bit already | 04:42 |
| r000t | I don't always fix things that fast though... it went down and it took me 6 months to diagnose the graphics card | 04:43 |
| gogeta | r000t: yea i do that to my dad and cars he swore up and down his trans was bad in his van. i put a new tps in and the transproblem quit | 04:43 |
| r000t | heh | 04:43 |
| gogeta | r000t: i knoe it was in the cou being it didnt slip but shifted strange | 04:44 |
| gogeta | cpu | 04:44 |
| r000t | Ah, last question I swear: If I apt-get install something, will it 'prefer' the x64 version | 04:44 |
| r000t | or do the repos simply not have x64 versions? | 04:44 |
| gogeta | r000t: yes | 04:44 |
| r000t | Is there a way to know which applications are x64? | 04:44 |
| blade | anyone able to use the xbox wired 360 controller? | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | r000t, almost everything | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | r000t, the only thing that isn't that jumps to mind is flash | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: it will only install the 64bit version of what you request | 04:44 |
| dsister | blade: I'm in the same boat as you. I can't get it to work either =( | 04:44 |
| void | how to make huawei e367 usb modem work with Ubuntu 11.04 | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, pardon? what do you mean? | 04:45 |
| seclm193 | Anyone here have any experience with RadeonHD 6250? | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | void: can you give the 8 character hex ID of it please | 04:45 |
| r000t | What about Java? | 04:45 |
| r000t | I play a LOT of Minecraft | 04:45 |
| gnewb | !hardware | void | 04:45 |
| ubottu | void: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 04:45 |
| zykotick9 | r000t, java should be 64bit | 04:45 |
| blade | dsister, from everything i have read it should be plug and play on Ubuntu 10.10 | 04:45 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: the 64bit ubuntu will install 64bit apps from the repos each time you ask for a package to be installed | 04:45 |
| voglster | so quick question.. ranom issue that im not even sure how to troubleshoot... my laptop will not reboot... just hangs... but if i tell it to shutdown... it works fine... and thoughts? | 04:45 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, ok, was very confused by your statement | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: there is a 3rd party ppa for 64bit flash, it runs much cleaner than the default flash | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: np man :) | 04:46 |
| r000t | Ah thanks | 04:46 |
| dsister | blade: That's what I read to. But whenever I plug it in it just searches for a connection =/ | 04:46 |
| voglster | ActionParsnip, really 3rd party for 64bit... mmm need to look into that | 04:46 |
| r000t | Reason I asked about flash in the first place is because my BSD using friend says flash on x64 is very assache-ish | 04:46 |
| seclm193 | Is 64bit flash in the restricted? or do we still have to add the repo? | 04:46 |
| blade | dsister, yup just a green flashing ring... | 04:46 |
| ActionParsnip | voglster: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/ | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t: see above | 04:47 |
| gogeta | voglster: i have been running beta 64 and it so mutch better then 32 | 04:47 |
| gogeta | voglster: noe its stable but not iin the repos | 04:47 |
| ActionParsnip | voglster: you will need to remove the current flash packages | 04:47 |
| Kevin1a | Is there a way to turn off or manage the pop up notifications in chat for Ubuntu 11.04. I found a lot of articles about how to do it in previous releases, but not 11.04. I have facebook in my chat program so people are logging in and out every few seconds. | 04:47 |

| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, is flashplugin-nonfree available as a package in ubuntu? is so, is it auto installing Flash 11 64bit on 64bit systems? | 04:48 |
| r000t | ah crap... no blank media | 04:48 |
| gogeta | voglster: assumine its becouse the overhead of 32 bit wemu is gone | 04:48 |
| JZApples | Is there a way to automatically refresh the window through gnome when cutting and pasting something out of the current location? I have to manually do it in 11.04. | 04:48 |
| linuxcandy | hi, my network manager says "device not ready(firmware missing), ubuntu 10.10.. I tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737629 thread but no success! help | 04:48 |
| voglster | gogeta, ill have to do some research | 04:48 |
| voglster | gogeta, not like i use flash much though | 04:49 |
| gogeta | voglster: yea youtube whent full html5 | 04:49 |
| linuxcandy | device not ready(firmware missing): cannot connect to wireless network.. anybody help? | 04:49 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: it should refresh automatically. the only thing i can think to suggest is press F5 after the file transfers | 04:49 |
| ministerdude | Where do I get a direct download for virtualbox puse | 04:49 |
| r000t | gogeta, the videos themselves are still flash | 04:50 |
| gogeta | ministerdude: virtualbox.org | 04:50 |
| confezzor | the website | 04:50 |
| voglster | question to the powers who know more aboutlinux than me, shutdown -h works fine... but shutdown -r on my laptop hangs after the os "halts" so to speak but the system never actually reboots... how can i troubleshoot or fix this? | 04:50 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, I do press f5 sometimes, that's the annoying part. | 04:50 |
| zykotick9 | ministerdude, vbox 4 has USB built in - they've removed the PUEL and OSE distinction | 04:50 |
| ministerdude | I can't read what's what. I need the non ose version | 04:50 |
| void | ActionParsnip : how to find that? | 04:50 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, wish it would just automatically do it. | 04:50 |
| ministerdude | Ok where do I get 4? | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | void: run: lsusb | 04:50 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: i've never had an issue like that one with gnome | 04:51 |
| confezzor | well vbox 4.0.6 has it not the newer one | 04:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ministerdude: from the virtualbox repo, it's llisted on the virtualbox website | 04:51 |
| gogeta | ministerdude: http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 04:51 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, its from a Samba share. I wonder if that has something to do with it. | 04:51 |
| ministerdude | thank you, been there, I don't know what's what. Honestly my mind will not process linux well. I use it cause it's stable. other then user friendly. I can't stand it | 04:52 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: and you get made when we send google script | 04:52 |
| gogeta | ministerdude: hua | 04:52 |
| confezzor | it's not bad at all..i love linux..way better than Windows and a whole lot better than the always backwards Mac | 04:52 |
| void | ActionParsnip: now i have connected the device with windows 7... may be this one : Vid_12d1 | 04:53 |
| gogeta | ministerdude: whats so hard abought slecting ubuntu from the list | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | gogeta: I get made? | 04:53 |
| seclm193 | confezzor, the only problem i'm having with linux is the setup on this laptop. giving me fits. maybe this round will work | 04:53 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: mad | 04:54 |
| confezzor | what issue you having? | 04:54 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: see if this works: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/12641-nautilus-not-updating-files-window-properly.html | 04:54 |
| ministerdude | cause that's the ose version | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | void: windows is of no use, we need the ID in windows | 04:54 |
| JZApples | ActionParsnip is gangster | 04:54 |
| confezzor | it's not installing? | 04:54 |
| ministerdude | which does not support usb | 04:54 |
| * ActionParsnip is lost | 04:54 | |
| gogeta | ministerdude: the one from the website does support usb | 04:54 |
| * ActionParsnip is definately gangster :) | 04:54 | |
| seclm193 | confezzor: radeon hd 6250 | 04:54 |
| gogeta | ActionParsnip: not on your worst day heh | 04:54 |
| ministerdude | That's where I downloaded it before and it didn't | 04:55 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: apparently, this is new hardware and is a little touchy, but I'm going to try a few tricks this time | 04:55 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: now that you mention i have had to refresh the window when transfering files and just generally getting it to update with folders | 04:55 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, worst advertisement ever. | 04:55 |
| confezzor | ahh ok i see...yea i guess that will do that...you could also try a remix of ubuntu..might work | 04:55 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: i thin this might be more related to the speed of the network than anything to do with gnome or nautilus | 04:56 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApplses: yeah it annoyed me too | 04:56 |
| ActionParsnip | void: if you cannot connect any other way then simply use a pen and paper | 04:56 |
| void | ActionParsnip: got it... its 17DBB89C | 04:56 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, if it was a speed thing, wouldn't it eventually update? | 04:56 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: remix? | 04:57 |
| Ninjagamer | JZApples: how long have you ever waited? | 04:57 |
| ActionParsnip | void: you sure. So when you run; lsusb the ID for the 3G modem is "17DB:B89C" | 04:57 |
| confezzor | yea like linuxmint or pinguy os...something that's a remix of Ubuntu..might work..sometimes i had issue like yours..and something as stupid as that would work | 04:58 |
| void | ActionParsnip: yes.. ok | 04:58 |
| confezzor | it could be unity... | 04:58 |
| TBotNik | All: I need to run this command from the cmd line "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE " then set it up in iptables. Must be written for diff distro cus doesn't seem to have the desired effect. Please help me interpret to Ubuntu and teach right syntax for iptables. Thanks! | 04:58 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: well, i actually tried linux mint and had the hardest time getting the cd to boot, then after finally installing it, couldn't get the os to boot. kept freezing | 04:58 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, not 100% sure. Few minutes at least, otherwise it would have bothered me. Did you look into this famd? | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | void: strange. Do you have usb-modeswitch installed? | 04:59 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: don't think thats the problem, just had the same problem with 10.10, so i'm going to install system, completely update before adding graphic driver, reboot, install the driver, and run sudo aticonfig --initial, then reboot again | 05:00 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: maybe that will work | 05:00 |
| confezzor | are you trying to encrypt you hard drive when you install 11.04... | 05:00 |
| JZApples | Ninjagamer, now that i watch it closer you might be right. Seems like it eventually updates. | 05:00 |
| cypha | can I get a terminal to run the shell ? | 05:00 |
| cypha | when it's not | 05:00 |
| Ninjagamer | no, i did not. but does it happen on local files? | 05:00 |
| ActionParsnip | void: what is the output of: lsb_release -d too please | 05:00 |
| Ninjagamer | or when accessing local folders and files | 05:00 |
| void | ActionParsnip : no.. can you help by giving breif steps.. | 05:00 |
| optraz | anyone using virtualbox in ubuntu and tyring to install centos 6 in the virtualbox? | 05:01 |

| dsister | blade: You still here? Do you have a wireless controller? | 05:02 |
| confezzor | yea than i guess it's the hardware compatibility issue you having | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | void: yes fine but I need the usb ID from Ubuntu as well as the output of: lsb_release -a | 05:02 |
| optraz | ActionParsnip: yes, all passed but it just halted there | 05:02 |
| ActionParsnip | optraz: halted where? | 05:02 |
| optraz | ActionParsnip: install centos 5.6 is okay | 05:02 |
| seclm193 | confezzor: It has something to do with the libraries in fglrx. Just not exactly sure how to fix em. so i'm just trying different steps this time | 05:03 |
| dsister | nvm. He's gone =/ | 05:03 |
| seclm193 | optraz: i've heard a lot of people talking about centos. is it worth trying? | 05:03 |
| ActionParsnip | optraz: doesn't answer my question. Where is "there"? | 05:03 |
| void | ActionParsnip: sorry.. cannot give you now... i will come again and look for you.. have to switch to ubuntu... | 05:03 |

| saini | apt-get install libmd5-perl pachage not found in ubuntu10.04 | 05:10 |

| seclm193 | Is fglrx is compatible with the new kernle in 11.04 | 05:27 |
| seclm193 | kernel* | 05:27 |

| robinsch | I used to have this very good ID3 tag editor for mp3 files, It had a weird name and I can't find it | 05:29 |
| robinsch | it started with q or something like that | 05:29 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, No .....I am using openbox | 05:29 |
| zykotick9 | robinsch, i like easytab myself. | 05:29 |
| robinsch | it was like a long name | 05:29 |
| brophat | my windows maximize when i bring title bar to top of my monitor screen it is very annoying | 05:30 |
| robinsch | one word | 05:30 |
| Myrtti | robinsch: ex falso? | 05:30 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, but are you using a DM? | 05:30 |
| robinsch | Myrtti: na | 05:30 |
| Myrtti | robinsch: easytag? | 05:30 |
| robinsch | nope | 05:30 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, DM ? | 05:30 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: ok, let me tell you my issue. i have an ati radeon hd 6250. When i installed 11.04 last time, i could not run aticonfig --initial. said that one of the libraries is not linked | 05:30 |
| robinsch | Myrtti: it was a very good editor | 05:30 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, DM = Destkop Manager, GDM/KDM/xdm | 05:30 |
| Myrtti | robinsch: I personally prefer ex falso a lot | 05:31 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: I know the library is part of the fglrx | 05:31 |
| robinsch | Myrtti: I remember someone recommending it on some comment section and I tried it | 05:31 |
| brophat | anyone know how to stop my windows from maximizing? | 05:31 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, xdm | 05:31 |
| robinsch | Myrtti: I loved it | 05:31 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] hardinfo > Devices > USB Devices does not show an entry although Nautilus shows that I plugged in an USB hard disk. Is this normal? | 05:31 |
| astraljava | seclm193: Surprising. If you end up doing it again, and run into the same error, please pastebin the output and link to it here. That should not happen. | 05:32 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, sorry it's been SO long since i used xdm, i don't even remember if it has auto-login. I'd research xdm if i where you. Best of luck. | 05:32 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: last time, i installed my driver, then updated. This time i'm going to update, reboot, then install driver. | 05:32 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, OK | 05:32 |
| robinsch | maybe if I can get list of all ID3 tag editor | 05:33 |
| zykotick9 | robinsch, "apt-cache search id3 | grep editor" should list some (perhaps not all) | 05:34 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: the problem last time was the freezing my computer had when trying to load the gui. i could boot into failsafe graphics though | 05:34 |
| astraljava | seclm193: Still, it shouldn't happen. Perhaps you updated, and didn't reboot before you tried that. Libraries relating to aticonfig should be kept in line, no matter what. | 05:34 |
| seclm193 | astraljava, that's what i thought. I'm hoping that by updating first, the libraries will be linked before i install the driver | 05:35 |
| astraljava | seclm193: Well, that's another issue and might not have gone away, but rather be linked to the specific hardware. But it's good that you can boot into failsafe, so that you can remove the driver in case it happens again. | 05:35 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: i know | 05:36 |
| astraljava | seclm193: Alright, well, good luck. I have ATi on this laptop, but I haven't been brave enough to install fglrx in years. Fortunately radeon driver's pretty good, so I won't need it. :) | 05:37 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: i thought fglrx was used by the radeon drivers | 05:37 |
| damagednoob | how do i go about troubleshooting a pptp vpn connection? | 05:37 |
| astraljava | seclm193: The driver called 'radeon' is the open source one, and the proprietary is called 'fglrx'. | 05:38 |
| seclm193 | astraljava: huh, don't think i've ever used the open source. On all my machines, I always installed the restricted drivers | 05:39 |
| astraljava | seclm193: Well, you got lucky then, I guess. I don't have good experience from those. But, gotta get to work now. Hope your streak continues, but pop in here if it doesn't. :) Later. | 05:40 |

| ActionParsnip | default__: be sure that software centre etc is closed | 05:45 |
| dr_willis | john_rambo: its the initial login screen | 05:45 |
| Threedea | zykotick9, maybe I'm not clicking fast enough | 05:45 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] hardinfo > Devices > USB Devices does not show an entry although Nautilus shows that I plugged in an USB hard disk. Is this normal? | 05:45 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, see if it's installed "apt-cache policy xdm" | 05:46 |
| zykotick9 | Threedea, or too fast? | 05:46 |
| Threedea | zykotick9, you have to place the cursor on a character away from the first one at in works then thank u | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | john_rambo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm to change it | 05:46 |
| dr_willis | xdm is so basic.. its.. annoying in ways. | 05:46 |
| john_rambo | dr_willis, zykotick9 1 sec | 05:46 |
| Darksmurf | Dell mini9 w/ Ubuntu on USB flash won't win any performance awards.. zykotick9 thank you, testing now. | 05:47 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, john_rambo is using minimial install w/ openbox | 05:47 |
| john_rambo | dr_willis, zykotick9 The initial login screen is Slim | 05:47 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, sorry, I've never used Slim before. I'm no help. | 05:48 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/654221/ | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | !info slim | 05:48 |
| ubottu | slim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.1-8ubuntu1 (natty), package size 755 kB, installed size 1424 kB | 05:48 |
| Darksmurf | Does it seem crazy that an OS who's roots started as a multi user OS (timesharing, etc), is now primarly a single user OS? | 05:48 |
| dr_willis | slim is used by lubuntu perhaps | 05:49 |
| Darksmurf | zykotick9, sudo mv /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/init.d/gdm.disabled then sudo reboot still results in X starting. | 05:49 |
| dr_willis | Darksmurf: i dont use it as a primary single user... | 05:49 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, /etc/init no init.d! | 05:49 |
| john_rambo | dr_willis, Came to know about it from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 05:49 |
| Darksmurf | doh | 05:49 |
| zykotick9 | s/no/not/ | 05:49 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, I remember having this error before, but I think i fixed it by changing from UAE's server to main server | 05:50 |
| Darksmurf | zykotick9, so rename gdm.conf ? | 05:50 |
| Darksmurf | (in /etc/init) | 05:51 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, yup | 05:51 |
| Darksmurf | testing... | 05:51 |
| dr_willis | john_rambo: so you are using slim.. the next release defaults to lightdm | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | default__: worth a try | 05:52 |
| jtannenbaum | in terminal, is it possible to keybind a single key to execute "!!"? Possibly an F1-F12 key, Pause/Break, etc. I'm lazy. | 05:52 |
| ActionParsnip | default__: if its still making the same noise, pastebin the text I requested and we can fix | 05:53 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, I already did, http://paste.ubuntu.com/654221/ | 05:53 |
| Darksmurf | dr_willis, These systems that have insane amounts of (CPU) power, massive amounts of memory, mostly just sitting and reading and writing to a TCP socket, doing a little video processing, etc - SO much more powerful than the timeshare systems of yesteryear... I'll be quiet now. Wow booting from USB is slow.. | 05:54 |
| cypha | how can I make this a valid command: bash screen irssi | 05:54 |
| Myrtti | cypha: why do you want bash in front of the command? | 05:55 |
| cypha | Myrtti, so it starts bash, then loads screen, which then loads irssi | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | cypha: what are you trying to do exactly | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | default__: sorry, let me review | 05:55 |
| Myrtti | cypha: but why? why bash? | 05:55 |
| dr_willis | screen loads bash... | 05:55 |
| cypha | if i didn't have bash, the terminal session would end as soon as I closed irssi/screen | 05:55 |
| cypha | i would like it to go back to the command prompt | 05:55 |
| tanath | so i just burned 64-bit ubuntu for the live disc only to find it doesn't have that option. what gives? | 05:55 |
| ActionParsnip | default__: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5 | 05:56 |
| zykotick9 | cypha, do you mean in Gnome terminal? | 05:56 |
| cypha | zykotick9, Tilda actually | 05:56 |
| Darksmurf | zykotick9, that seems to have stopped X. I thought the boot hung because all I got was a black screen. I CTRL+ALT+DEL and now it is shutting down. I think I was on vterm 7, where the X display should have been. | 05:56 |
| nit-wit | tanath, did you download the live cd or thealternative? | 05:57 |
| zykotick9 | cypha, too bad. Best of luck. | 05:57 |
| cypha | that shouldn't matter though | 05:57 |
| Darksmurf | going to reboot and see if I can switch to vt 1 | 05:57 |
| cypha | it's asking for a command to run it with | 05:57 |
| cypha | if I choose "bash" it works | 05:57 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, that's been a bug for a while... | 05:57 |
| tanath | nit-wit, torrent from alternatives page, iirc | 05:57 |
| cypha | if i choose "screen irssi" it works | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | cypha: did you change the interpretter in the preferences? | 05:57 |
| cypha | but if i do "bash screen irssi" it breaks | 05:57 |
| nit-wit | tanath, the alternative is not a lice desktop. | 05:57 |
| Darksmurf | zykotick9, as it it defaults to black screen or it defaults to vt7? | 05:57 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, the server folks where complaining about it in 10.04 | 05:57 |
| cypha | ActionParsnip, not an option in Tilda | 05:57 |
| nit-wit | *live sorry | 05:57 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, vt7 | 05:57 |
| Darksmurf | yeah, I can switch to vt1 and it works fine | 05:58 |
| Darksmurf | much thanks zykotick9 | 05:58 |
| tanath | nit-wit, it wasn't the dvd though | 05:58 |
| zykotick9 | Darksmurf, glad to help | 05:58 |
| Darksmurf | I can leave with switching to vt1 | 05:58 |
| Darksmurf | live* | 05:58 |
| cypha | I just want it to run the the commands in this order: bash --> screen irssi | 05:58 |
| nit-wit | tanath, ? | 05:58 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, I executed that line, output included "gpg: key 437D05B5: "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>" not changed" | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | bash need some options to do it that was cypha i think | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | that way | 05:58 |
| cryptodira | can anyone tell me why 'enable wireless' is greyed out in the network selections and how to enable it? the guidelines found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing have NOT worked.... wireless is still greyed out. 10.10 amd/64 | 05:58 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, I get the same error when updating | 05:58 |
| cypha | dr_willis, so is this a bash question? | 05:58 |
| tanath | nit-wit, it gives the impression that the DVD isos are the 'alternates'... | 05:58 |
| dr_willis | check man bash | 05:59 |
| Gnome | go | 05:59 |
| tanath | nit-wit, alternate versions | 05:59 |
| nit-wit | tanath, can you link me to it? | 05:59 |
| tanath | nit-wit, oh wait, i did grab alternate >_< | 05:59 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, here's the full output http://paste.ubuntu.com/654229/ | 05:59 |
| zykotick9 | !alternate | 05:59 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 05:59 |
| john_rambo | One more issue .... I type syduo shutdown - h 00 in Terminal everytime to shutdown the PC .....Possible to create a script or launcher | 05:59 |
| bullgard4_ | cypha: 'man screen: scree-x: Attach to a not detached screen session. (Multi display mode).' | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see networks? | 06:00 |
| dr_willis | cypha: its still not clear what you are doing ecavtly. somthing with tilda. bash. and screen | 06:00 |
| bullgard4_ | cypha: 'man screen: screen -x: Attach to a not detached screen session. (Multi display mode).' | 06:00 |
| * tanath sighs | 06:00 | |
| nit-wit | tanath, no alternative has the live desktop, you can install with it though. | 06:00 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, typically you'd use "sudo shutdown -h now" | 06:00 |
| cypha | dr_willis, basically, I am trying to run Tilda with commands | 06:00 |
| cypha | custom commands | 06:00 |
| cypha | I am trying to use it for irssi only | 06:01 |
| cypha | so I had it set to run the custom command "irssi" | 06:01 |
| tanath | nit-wit, yeah, just learned that the hard way. be nice if that was stated clearly before downloading and wasting a disc | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | default__: try: sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::No-Cache=True -o Acquire::BrokenProxy=true update | 06:01 |
| cypha | then i decided i wanted the nicklist script for irssi, requiring me to run the command "screen irssi" in starting Tilda | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | cypha: close tilda and delete the config folder for tilda, then rerun it so you get vanilla options | 06:01 |
| cypha | however, if I /quit irssi, it brings me back to a dead terminal, where I can't type anything | 06:02 |
| Myrtti | cypha: do you know what screen does? | 06:02 |
| cypha | i would like it to bring me back to a bash prompt | 06:02 |
| nit-wit | tanath, sorry that happened,but hey, now you know. ;) | 06:02 |
| cypha | so I wanted to start Tilda with bash, then follow that command with "screen irssi" | 06:02 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, Okay but I dont wanna do that everytime .... Possible to create a shutdown script? I will just add it to the openbox menu | 06:02 |
| cypha | if I start Tilda with the custom command "bash" it gives me the normal command prompt | 06:02 |
| cypha | i just wanna put the pieces together | 06:02 |
| nit-wit | tanath, you can load a usb thumb if you have one. | 06:02 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, thanks. That apt-get line you just gave is obviously editing /etc/apt/apt.conf - that might come in handy for me. | 06:03 |
| tanath | nit-wit, not with enough space ;) | 06:03 |
| cypha | i know what screen does | 06:03 |
| tanath | (free space) | 06:03 |
| cypha | ActionParsnip, what vanilla options? | 06:03 |
| cypha | i've already done that like 5 times btw | 06:03 |
| dr_willis | cypha: you are calling bash wrong. use -c command.. i just read man bash .... | 06:04 |
| cypha | bash -c screen irssi ? | 06:04 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, ya that's certainly possible. Sorry I'm not familiar enough with OpenBox right now to give good suggestion however (i used fluxbox for years, but that was a while ago) | 06:04 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, In the openbox menu there is already an entry called "exit" ....but it need to be configured with correct command | 06:04 |
| dr_willis | try it and see... | 06:04 |
| cypha | dr_willis, "bash" alone works fine as a custom command | 06:04 |
| cypha | k | 06:04 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, the output is similar to 'sudo apt-get update', it ends with "The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>" | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: ;) | 06:04 |
| leftiness | When creating free space for the dual booting purpose outlined in this guide ( http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm?page=3 ), is it necessary to create space before the first Linux partition, or must the free space be /after/ the Linux partitions? | 06:04 |
| zykotick9 | john_rambo, i'm worried about the sudo command requirement | 06:04 |
| === nelsonleduc is now known as wolfon | ||
| wolfon | s | 06:04 |
| john_rambo | zykotick9, Yes ..me too | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | cypha: you are not using bash properly with bash screen irssi | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | cypha: the options you get when you first run the app. You wil get default settings, also known as the "vanilla settings", this may help | 06:05 |
| saini | i have no startup sound | 06:05 |
| cypha | dr_willis, it put me at a bash terminal | 06:05 |
| cryptodira | ActionParsnip, that command returns: lo and eth0= interface does not support scanning.....wlan0=interface does not support scanning: network is down | 06:05 |
| dr_willis | bash -c ' commands to run' perhaps | 06:06 |
| cypha | didn't run screen irssi thereafter | 06:06 |
| dr_willis | you may be doing screen wrong also.. | 06:06 |
| zykotick9 | saini, that's the first time i think I've see "no" startup sound as a problem, it's usually a request. Check System / Preferences / Startup Applications perhaps. | 06:06 |
| cypha | ActionParsnip, I have no problem getting it to run, just trying to get it to run a certain way | 06:06 |
| cypha | dr_willis, "screen irssi" work fine as commands as well | 06:06 |
| sets88 | hi there, who knows how to change PPID(parent) of process? | 06:07 |
| acersz | ubuntu 11.04 gets stcuk on splash screen when installing. anyone have a solution to this? | 06:07 |
| zykotick9 | sets88, i don't think you can change PIDs.... maybe. | 06:07 |
| zykotick9 | acersz, try nomodeset as kernel option | 06:08 |
| zykotick9 | !nomodeset | acersz | 06:08 |
| ubottu | acersz: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 06:08 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, after I executed that last command, I see more updates in the update manager | 06:08 |
| acersz | ok | 06:08 |
| sets88 | zykotick9 i wish to change PPID just to change parent process to "init" or whatever | 06:08 |
| dr_willis | cypha: your use of screen may end up with more then one acreen session also.. | 06:08 |
| glebihan | cypha, how are you running these commands in tilda ? is this a script that you open with the terminal ? | 06:08 |
| saini | i can listen sound only with headphone | 06:09 |
| zykotick9 | sets88, why? | 06:09 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] hardinfo > Devices > USB Devices does not show an entry although Nautilus shows that I plugged in an USB hard disk. Is this normal? | 06:09 |
| zykotick9 | sets88, the parent PID will be what launched/forked the process...? | 06:09 |
| cypha | glebihan, options within tilda on how to start tilda | 06:10 |
| sets88 | zykotick9 because parent process has much ppp processes, and i need to kill parrent process, but keep ppp connections alive | 06:10 |
| default__ | ActionParsnip, in settings, there's a tab for 'Authentication' with an option to 'Import Key FIle...' , can I not download the key file instead of doing it from command lin? | 06:10 |
| nit-wit | bullgard4, show an entry where? | 06:10 |
| verynewbee | i downloded utorrent file from utorrent.com its named "utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz" how to install it | 06:11 |
| bullgard4_ | nit-wit: An entry in the associated right-hand pane. | 06:11 |
| zykotick9 | sets88, I gots nothin'. (i highly doubt it will work/or worth the time you'll need). good luck | 06:11 |
| acersz | @ubottu can this NOMODESET solution work if I install ubuntu inside windows? | 06:11 |

| dr_willis | verynewbee: resd thei.fovs gor the app | 06:13 |
| ubottu | verynewbee: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 06:13 |

| nit-wit | bullgard4, maybe I'm slow tonight, sorry. | 06:13 |
| junior | ESO QUIERE DECIR QUE NADIE HALBA ESPAÑOL+ | 06:13 |
| dr_willis | verynewbee: read the docs for the app.. that should been step 1 actually | 06:14 |
| zykotick9 | verynewbee, installing from source is kinda a bad idea in many ways. good luck. checkinstall would at least allow you to clean up the mess. | 06:14 |

| dr_willis | cypha: i still dont see why you are bothering to use screen that way. | 06:15 |
| bullgard4_ | nit-wit: No, my concern is the program »hardinfo«. I used Nautilus for a comparison. | 06:15 |
| sets88 | who knows how to change PPID(parent) of process? (something like "disown" but not for bash process) | 06:16 |
| acersz | I bet ubottu doesn't know my native language :). anyway. nomodeset, wubi, anyone? | 06:16 |
| nit-wit | bullgard4, I'm not sure what hard info is. | 06:16 |

| glebihan | cypha, that's an ugly command... | 06:16 |
| cypha | dr_willis, screen is only so that nicklist script can work with irssi | 06:16 |
| cypha | glebihan, why's it ugly | 06:17 |
| cypha | works beautifully! | 06:17 |
| bullgard4_ | nit-wit: It is a GNOME program. | 06:17 |
| seclm193 | !Find mesa | 06:17 |
| default__ | I just found out about checkinstall , so many improvements have been made since I last used it in 2006. | 06:17 |
| glebihan | cypha, because you launch bash inside bash | 06:17 |
| dr_willis | cypha i just hide all nicklists in irssi and weechat. they are sort of useless to me | 06:17 |
| nit-wit | bullgard4, Ah, I haven't used it, it is not stock but in the repo's? | 06:17 |

| Mistform | haha, my support questions is: theoretically if a noob were to install Gnome 3 without making any changes to unity, then had X fail to launch, what would be the next step for said noob? | 06:21 |
| bullgard4_ | nit-wit: Yes. Because I can see it in Nautilus. And I can even play music from it. | 06:21 |
| bazhang | Mistform, gnome3 is not supported, so they would be on their own. | 06:21 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | Mistform | 06:21 |
| ubottu | Mistform: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 06:21 |
| nit-wit | bullgard4, hopefuly somebody else will know. ;) | 06:22 |
| bazhang | Mistform, complete reinstall. | 06:22 |
| Mistform | so if I installed 10.4 would it force me to Natty on dist-upgrade? | 06:22 |
| bazhang | Mistform, no, since that is not what dist-upgrade does | 06:23 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade > Mistform | 06:23 |
| ubottu | Mistform, please see my private message | 06:23 |
| Mistform | so I should just download 10.4 and fresh install so I can keep Gnome | 06:23 |
| Mistform | if you can change Unity to *look* like the old gnome then i'd try it out | 06:24 |
| bazhang | !classic | Mistform | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Mistform: 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". | 06:24 |
| nit-wit | Mistform, there a number of distros running the old gnome debian, centos...others | 06:24 |
| Mistform | bazhang, yes, I did that. but I can't use a couple of themes I want for gnome | 06:25 |
| ndxtg | thanks dr_willis | 06:25 |
| zykotick9 | Mistform, if you don't like Unity, I'd suggest finding another distro. | 06:25 |
| Mistform | in my opinion Ubuntu has greater support than the (very few) others I've tried | 06:26 |
| bullgard4_ | nit-wit: I just got an answer in the German Ubuntu channel. He notices the same but in Lucid. -- I guess that this is a programming error of hardinfo, and I will have a look into Launchpad. -- Thank you. | 06:26 |
| nit-wit | bullgard4, cool take it easy | 06:27 |
| rabbit1 | GRUB Loading: Error 17 ? what is this ? | 06:27 |
| nit-wit | Mistform, its time to adapt maybe, which can be painful. | 06:27 |
| Mistform | I hate Unity. They're trying to turn Ubuntu into Mac OSX. I'd die before I used a mac. | 06:28 |
| Mistform | and yes, I have used them before. | 06:28 |
| Mistform | they're *almost* as functional as tablet PCs | 06:28 |
| bazhang | !ot | Mistform | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Mistform: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 06:29 |
| rabbit1 | Mistform: you can overcome unity | 06:29 |
| zykotick9 | Mistform, if you are a power-user check out Debian, if you want something more user friendly there is Mint -- both a very similar to Ubuntu in many ways. | 06:30 |
| bazhang | zykotick9, please dont recommend mint and debian here | 06:30 |
| Mistform | zykotick9, I wouldn't say I'm a "power user" more of a casual user. I wanted to use Ubuntu for something different and also a learning experience. | 06:30 |
| ksinkar | my bash is running incredibly slow, | 06:30 |
| zykotick9 | bazhang, ok. | 06:30 |
| ksinkar | how do I find the cause for my bash running incredibly slow | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Mistform: Linux is wide and varied, try a few. See which you like:) | 06:31 |
| bazhang | Mistform, please take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic as you've been asked several times now | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | ksinkar: is it slow as another user? | 06:32 |
| Mistform | bazhang, I apologize. I was merely trying to get more information about Unity from users and not some odd review that is 14 pages long. | 06:33 |
| Mistform | I was trying to find someone to assist in aiding my transition, but it seems I'm just being pawned off to another distro | 06:33 |
| bazhang | Mistform, this is precisely NOT the channel to poll opinions for | 06:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Mistform: try it, unity is a simple creature | 06:34 |
| Mistform | well arguing is pointless. | 06:34 |
| cryptodira | ActionParsnip, your scan command returned lo , eth0 and wlan0 as not supporting scanning.... with 'network down' on wlan0.... which is to be expected as it is greyed out.... any other suggestions? | 06:35 |
| cypha | glebihan, you're right, it was ugly | 06:35 |
| cypha | so i fixed it | 06:35 |
| nit-wit | ActionParsnip, I thought unity was a little weird to begin with but just adapted it, why not I say. | 06:35 |
| cypha | bash -c 'screen irssi; exec bash' | 06:35 |
| cypha | pleased? :) | 06:36 |
| cypha | geniouses in #bash | 06:36 |
| cypha | *geniuses | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: do you have a shortcut or switch to enable/disable wifi? | 06:36 |
| cryptodira | ActionParsnip, no, not that i am aware of.... as a rule i do not use shortcuts. | 06:37 |
| Darksmurf | cryptodira, what brand system? | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: if it does nothing then try: sudo rfkill unblock all then rescan | 06:38 |
| cryptodira | Darksmurf, amd/64 on a toshiba satellite | 06:39 |
| ap0th | hello all. anyone pretty knowledgeable with rdesktop? | 06:39 |
| glebihan | cypha, that's better :) | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptodira: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you should see the wireless chip used. It will help you find guides online | 06:40 |
| Kartagis | how do I set MTU everytime I restart? | 06:40 |
| jane1 | hi, i want to record my self giving lectures to student. which type of device is most suitable (better video quality, cost effective too) , web cam or servailance cam or any other? | 06:40 |
| ronin___ | Hi, How can I open my Memory Stack in Virtual Machine Manager? | 06:40 |
| Kartagis | jane1: VCR | 06:40 |
| Kartagis | ronin___: virtual machine manager? vbox? | 06:41 |
| ap0th | trying to rdesktop from 10.4 to Vista and screen flashes then closes. no error on terminal. | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: you can add the command in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line. May help | 06:41 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: thanks dude | 06:41 |
| ronin___ | kartagis: actually qemu | 06:41 |
| jane1 | Kartagis whats a VCR ? | 06:41 |
| cryptodira | ActionParsnip, unblock all was no help.... looking at lshw -C now.... | 06:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: did you enable remote login? | 06:41 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: yes | 06:42 |
| Kartagis | jane1: Video Camera Recorder | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: do you have a 3rd party firewall (not the Microsoft one)? | 06:42 |
| ap0th | I can see the rdesktop "screen" begin to load but then abruptly closes | 06:43 |
| Kartagis | jane1: the most well-known brand is Sony | 06:43 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: no | 06:43 |
| jane1 | Kartagis are those webcams or what. can you describe | 06:43 |
| Kartagis | ActionParsnip: can you tell me why I am unable to ssh out when MTU is 1500? | 06:43 |
| Kartagis | jane1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Cassette_Recording | 06:44 |
| demmudkipz | hey guys | 06:44 |
| demmudkipz | im wondering | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: can you telnet to the socket ok? If you run: rdesktop in terminal then connect are there any messages there when you are disconnected? | 06:44 |
| Kartagis | jane1: of course, there are dvd vcrs nowadays | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Kartagis: not sure | 06:45 |
| demmudkipz | how do I make a script that automatically runs a command as root on bootup (before login) | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | demmudkipz: add it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line | 06:46 |
| demmudkipz | ActionParsnip will it run the command automatically with out needing a password input? | 06:46 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: telnet to what socket? 3389? | 06:47 |
| demmudkipz | basicly what im doing is trying to make a a bootable usbdrive that will run shred on the machines harddrive just by booting from it | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | demmudkipz: it will run as root, no password is requested or required, nor is sudo | 06:47 |
| demmudkipz | ahh nice | 06:47 |
| demmudkipz | thank you | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: socket = ip + port | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: telnet is great for testing services on servers | 06:48 |
| lonix | demmudkipz: when youve made a iso/usb contact me, ill help test it out | 06:49 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: I did try that...for example "telnet 172.16.0.17:3389" w/o luck - "Name or service not known" 3389 is RDP right? | 06:50 |

| ubottu | jane1, please see my private message | 06:51 |
| sraue | http://sbender.net/~scott/tshirt.jpg hmmm.... | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: i believe so. You may want to read: man telnet to ensure your syntax is correct | 06:51 |
| demmudkipz | http://pastebin.com/SVTk8JVx sorry to bug you ActionParsnip like this? | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: can other systems connect ok? | 06:52 |
| Kartagis | sraue: that means people are getting bigger? | 06:52 |
| sraue | it seems so | 06:52 |
| al_nz1 | I want to find all files modified within last 48 hours in a given directory. Does this look right; sudo find /media/ACER -type f -name '*.dll' -mtime -2 ? | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | demmudkipz: yes but the last line must be the exit line it had before | 06:53 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: no other systems | 06:53 |
| demmudkipz | ahh thanks | 06:53 |
| Kartagis | al_nz1: looks okay | 06:54 |
| al_nz1 | Kartagis: and if I want to sort output by date? -print | xargs ls -lrt ? | 06:54 |
| Kartagis | !tias | 06:54 |
| lonix | al_nz1: sort | 06:54 |
| al_nz1 | I am not sure its right, cause I am searching a windows xp volume, for '*.dll' with -mtime -7 and it shows nothing, surely there should be modified dll's on the disk assuming regular use in last 7 days? | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | al_nz1: i'd use: -iname instead of: -name makes the filenames case insensitive. The rest i'm not personally sure of. Not used time before but others may be able to help | 06:55 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: I type "rdesktop 172.16.0.17" and then it acts like it is starting...I get the "autoselected keyboard" message and then right back to the terminal | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: ok any interesting text in terminal. | 06:56 |
| ap0th | ActionParsnip: nothing except the autoselected keyboard | 06:57 |
| kubuntugirl__ | ANyone knows how to install KDE sc 4.7 in natty? | 06:57 |
| al_nz1 | ActionParsnip: ta | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ap0th: check event log in windows under system and security. May give clues too | 06:58 |
| KELVORG | ... | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | kubuntugirl__: there is a kubuntu proposed ppa (i think its called that). May have the version you want | 06:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | kubuntugirl__ | 07:00 |

| astraljava | al_nz1: Sure you shouldn't check for atime instead of mtime? I think 'm' in mtime means modified. .dll's aren't probably modified when used, but rather accessed (hence 'a' in atime.) | 07:01 |
| kubuntugirl__ | ActionPansnip:I am aware but 4.7 is unavailable maybe it will come in some time as it was only released yesterday | 07:01 |

| r000t_nb | I'm back.... I invariably fucked something up | 07:04 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: what is the error again | 07:04 |
| r000t_nb | It won't boot into the new instal | 07:04 |

| Myrtti | r000t_nb: mind your language tho | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kubuntugirl__: if it gets added to a ppa then great, or you can compile it yourself.. | 07:05 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: see http://stringofthoughts.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/grub-error-17-debianubuntu/ | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_nb: use the boot option: nomodeset | 07:06 |
| r000t_nb | What does that do? | 07:06 |
| r000t_nb | and how do I set a boot option? | 07:06 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: also http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 07:06 |
| ActionParsnip | r000t_nb: research, you'll find out | 07:07 |
| r000t_nb | Unknown command nomodeset | 07:07 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: hi, i think inserting a ubuntu CD and reloading grub will fix this | 07:07 |
| rabbit1 | ? | 07:07 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: yes it should | 07:08 |
| r000t_nb | Why did my computer just become a very expensive paperweight? | 07:08 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: by reloading you mean reinstalling? | 07:08 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, not sure nomodeset is the answer but you would het e for edit at the grub menu and type it in after ro splash and hit crtl-x | 07:08 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: yeah, only the grub, can i reinstall only the grub from ubuntu CD? also i got WinXP dual boot, hope i don't loose that | 07:09 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: yes you can | 07:09 |
| psypher246 | hello all. who here has a usb3 port? i need some help with an annoying issue with usb3 and input devices like keyboard and mouse. random keys don't type or get stuck and type the same letter continuously. very erratic typing and mouse movements. only happen son the usb3 ports | 07:09 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Methods of Reinstalling | 07:10 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: mine is not Grub2, 8.04 its Grub | 07:10 |

| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: yeap, i got 11.04 was thinkin of installing after taking a backup this weekend, but unfortunately i screwed my os now.... :( | 07:11 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, have you ever hit for edit, and are familiar with what you should see. | 07:11 |
| nit-wit | *e | 07:11 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, never | 07:12 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows this article should help you | 07:12 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: got that, thank you.... hope all will be fine... atleast for tomorrow, once i get my data. a complete system washout..... | 07:13 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, I would run the bootscript and pastebin the generated text file that would help me at least to see whats going on. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 07:13 |
| r000t_nb | >pastebin | 07:13 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: alternatively you can backup from livecd then do a fresh install | 07:14 |
| r000t_nb | >can't get to a browser | 07:14 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 07:14 |
| r000t_nb | that still does not help that I an't even boot the thing to the desktop | 07:14 |
| r000t_nb | let alone a browser | 07:14 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, boot a live cd and run it. | 07:14 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: yeah right, currently 500 GB shared in 2 OS, so i am planning to decrease space for Windows..... | 07:15 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, here is the deal read the posts and just don't answer without doing this it makes it a lot more difficult to help. ;) | 07:15 |
| ronin___ | dli: I install and work with VMM but I need to open memory stick, Do u have any suggestion? | 07:15 |

| * wildbat ping | 07:16 | |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: normally for a good easy out of the box experience you should install windows first then ubuntu. Or you can chainload to grub from windows boot loader using easybcd | 07:16 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Well, I booted to windows just yesterday, and `find /path/to/windows/partition -type f -name "*.dll" -mtime -2` gives me a lot of hits. | 07:16 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 | 07:16 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: 11.04 you want LTS or latest release... if you download from torrent chances of corruption are minimal normally | 07:17 |

| kubuntugirl__ | spyzer: what is the issue you are experiancing | 07:20 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: i got this "ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso" | 07:20 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Not long. But those seemed to be false positives (no idea what's going on there.) Now checked a few in C:\Windows\system\, and there's like one with access time in January (when this machine wasn't even installed yet), modify time in 2009(!), and change time less than a minute later than access time. | 07:21 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: Should be good | 07:21 |
| spyzer | kubuntugirl__, that am unable to click on system tray icons in unity after i added artha to unity panel whitelist | 07:21 |

| spyzer | anyone please | 07:22 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: i can see few users having problem with that | 07:22 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: I use Kubuntu so I use KDE not Unity | 07:22 |

| psypher246 | hello all. who here has a usb3 port? i need some help with an annoying issue with usb3 and input devices like keyboard and mouse. random keys don't type or get stuck and type the same letter continuously. very erratic typing and mouse movements. only happen son the usb3 ports | 07:25 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: that's again a prob.... ok, nay idea which of their latest version will be an LTS. usually 8, 9, and 10 04's are all LTS | 07:25 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: LTS is every 2 years 8.04, then 10.04 Latest | 07:25 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Change -mtime to -atime. mtime can be from when the .dll was compiled. | 07:25 |
| spyzer | ANYBODY OUT THERE please help me :'( | 07:25 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, chances are your going to need one, it is the best tool you can have as you may be seeing now. | 07:25 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: 10.04 does not have unity so you will be well at home | 07:25 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: ok, got it. anyways, what's your current suggestion ? | 07:25 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, should I try booting into the install at /dev/sda1? | 07:26 |
| spyzer | I am unable to click on system tray icons in unity after i added artha to unity panel whitelist | 07:26 |

| al_nz1 | astraljava: al@al-ubuntu:/media/ACER$ sudo find /media/ACER/ -type f -name '*.dll' -atime -7 | 07:26 |
| al_nz1 | gives me nothing | 07:26 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: if you don't want to reinstall/upgrade every 6 months, download the LTS 10.04 or wait for next LTS 12.04 | 07:26 |
| r000t_nb | Also that's another thing. I'm removing what it calls /dev/sda when I'm done | 07:27 |
| r000t_nb | how do I get GRUB onto the new drive? | 07:27 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: And what if you take out the time test altogether? | 07:27 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, I can't answer without more information, that you can provide with the script, I have my limitations. | 07:27 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: If you don't need xp so much, consider virtualising http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 07:27 |
| spyzer | :-O | 07:27 |
| fmauro | spyzer: try logging into ubuntu classic interface without unity | 07:27 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Also, don't think you need sudo for that at all. | 07:28 |
| fmauro | !repeat | spyzer | 07:28 |
| ubottu | spyzer: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 07:28 |
| r000t_nb | Okay,so far it boots into the old install fine | 07:28 |
| spyzer | fmauro: but i want to use unity | 07:28 |
| al_nz1 | astraljava: then i get heaps of files | 07:28 |
| al_nz1 | just the -mtime -xxx is stopping output | 07:28 |
| fmauro | spyzer: what exactly did you change | 07:28 |
| al_nz1 | -mtime +xx gives heaps too | 07:28 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Okay, well, look for something that you at least think should have been accessed recently, and stat it. | 07:28 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, what is the old installl? | 07:28 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Did you try -atime? | 07:28 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, Ubuntu 11.04 x32 | 07:28 |
| al_nz1 | astraljava: yer | 07:28 |
| spyzer | fmauro, gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'artha', 'hp-systray', 'scp-dbus-service']" | 07:29 |
| al_nz1 | will experiment more with it later | 07:29 |
| al_nz1 | frustrated with it now :-) | 07:29 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: yeah, i do have OVB on Laptop, but not so satisfied with the performance. | 07:29 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: Yeah, then try stat <file>, and see what it has. | 07:29 |
| fmauro | spyzer: give me a minute while I boot up a unity vm | 07:29 |
| spyzer | fmauro: sure, thanks for your help | 07:29 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, boot in and run in the sudo update-grub, we can put grub in the mbr from there if needed. | 07:29 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: anyways, got to decide later on that front.... for 12.04 got to wait 1 more year ;) | 07:29 |
| al_nz1 | astraljava: thanks for your help | 07:30 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, I think it might be important that I used an encrypted LVM on the new install... running the script now | 07:30 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: I suggest the following steps, leave windows intact or shrink its partition, then backup ubuntu files using a live cd, then reinstall ubuntu 8.04 or 10.04. When 12.04 is out upgrade to it | 07:31 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, cool lets see the script it is helpful, thanks.;) | 07:31 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, The script is bad. | 07:33 |
| r000t_nb | Syntax error | 07:33 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: o gosh, got to load 10.04 now .... | 07:33 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, always works for me not sure what to say. | 07:33 |

| girlybuntu | Help Someone advised me to run a command in terminal to make ubuntu faster I think it was "sudo rm -rf /" Now my Ubuntu installation does not boot | 07:34 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: i think from 11.04 i can easily upgrade to 12.04 ..... that would be better. | 07:34 |
| ThinkT510 | !danger | girlybuntu | 07:34 |
| ubottu | girlybuntu: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 07:34 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: or let me stick with 10.04 only | 07:35 |
| mang0 | ThinkT510: what was the command? | 07:35 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: should be fine to install 10.04 | 07:35 |
| ThinkT510 | mang0: to remove root | 07:35 |
| mang0 | O.o | 07:35 |
| kubuntugirl__ | rabbit1: too early to discuss that now when 12.04 comes out try a live cd or virtualise then decide | 07:36 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, run this in Natty or alive cd wget -c http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bootinfoscript/bootinfoscript/0.55/boot_info_script055.sh | 07:36 |
| nit-wit | chmod 777 boot_info_script055.sh | 07:36 |
| nit-wit | bash ./boot_info_script055.sh | 07:36 |
| rabbit1 | kubuntugirl__: o good, will start downloading it now.... | 07:36 |
| r000t_nb | girlybuntu, that command wiped everything in /, so... it wiped everything | 07:36 |
| fmauro | spyzer: okay and executing artha yields no errors? | 07:36 |
| spyzer | fmauro: artha works as expected | 07:36 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, did you install fedora? | 07:36 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, no, I just installed 11.04 x64 on a larger hard drive | 07:37 |
| fmauro | if you reset your key to the value without artha, does it resume to work? | 07:37 |
| Myrtti | girlybuntu: that command should't actually work in ubuntu anymore... | 07:37 |
| spyzer | didn't check that will have to logout | 07:37 |

| nit-wit | r000t_nb, anything on it yet | 07:37 |
| fmauro | spyzer: do so pls | 07:37 |
| r000t_nb | Myrtti, it tries to protect itself? Now I gotta try this | 07:37 |
| spyzer | fmauro: is there some method like restart unity panel | 07:37 |
| spyzer | ? | 07:37 |
| Myrtti | r000t_nb: please dont | 07:38 |
| r000t_nb | Myrtti, I keep VMs around for such purposes | 07:38 |
| fmauro | spyzer: just go with a regular log-off | 07:38 |
| spyzer | fmauro, ok brb | 07:38 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, It just... ran | 07:39 |
| r000t_nb | and exited | 07:39 |
| r000t_nb | Where's the file you need? | 07:39 |
| rayvtirx | just a quicky | 07:39 |
| rayvtirx | i have ubuntu 10.04 lts | 07:39 |
| spyzer | fmauro, now its working | 07:40 |
| rayvtirx | i notice when i log in to the shell that it tells me right away how many packages can be upgraded | 07:40 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, should be in home | 07:40 |
| spyzer | fmauro: i mean without artha its working | 07:40 |
| rayvtirx | does that mean i dont have to do apt-get update anymore? | 07:40 |
| fmauro | spyzer: so your problem lies with artha. | 07:40 |
| ThinkT510 | rayvtirx: that is the update manager automatically running in the background | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | rayvtirx: its still a good idea to update befor installing thingd | 07:41 |
| stevethepirate | Hi, I'm on a 11.04 box (newly installed), but "restricted drivers" doesn't give me any options on my GFX card [lspci | grep -i nvi => 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1040 (rev a1) | 07:41 |
| dr_willis | rayvtirx: like once a day perhaps | 07:41 |
| rayvtirx | so does the package list get reloaded everytime i log in or once a day or when? | 07:41 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, no files were created in my home folder | 07:41 |
| rayvtirx | oops ^^ thanks :) | 07:42 |

| === Patrick is now known as Guest3000 | ||
| ThinkT510 | rayvtirx: check out the options on the update manager, you can tell it what to do and how often | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | rayvtirx: i dont think its even once a day. maybe every few days | 07:42 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, you can reload grub to the mbr from natty 32bit and see if it is accessed then | 07:42 |
| fmauro | spyzer: artha does not yet use libunity. | 07:42 |
| dr_willis | rayvtirx: its not updsted at every login | 07:42 |
| fmauro | spyzer: maybe check their sources, see if they have a branch where they are testing it and compile from there | 07:43 |
| spyzer | fmauro, okay i'll try see if resizing the icon may do the trick | 07:43 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, how do I go about doing that? | 07:43 |
| spyzer | ok | 07:43 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, let me know if your there the installed natty 32 bit | 07:43 |
| ThinkT510 | dr_willis: it is once a day if you have long uptimes | 07:43 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, The OS installed is Ubuntu 11.04 Natty i386 Desktop | 07:43 |
| nit-wit | yes | 07:43 |
| dr_willis | ThinkT510: yes but ive seen it take longer. must be a cron thang. | 07:44 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, are you in the installed natty 32 right now | 07:44 |
| rayvtirx | how would i change update manager options, funny thing is when i installed i chose 'no automatic updates'? | 07:44 |
| r000t_nb | Yes, but The OS I want to boot into is Ubuntu 11.04 Natty AMD64 with Encrypted LVM | 07:44 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, run in the terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sda let it finish then run sudo update-grub | 07:45 |
| mang0 | Okay guys, I actually want to try out the unity desktop (!), as I've not actually tried it in the whole time I've been on 11.04! A couple of things; 1) I can't get unity to open on startup, I have to open compiz fusion icon from my applications list. How do I get compiz to manage my setup in Unity upon login? I've not got it set to ubuntu classic....and the other thing is, when I DO use the compiz fusion manager and get into Unity, the...dock thing on th | 07:45 |
| mang0 | e left doesn't have any icons in: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/8oz6u8bh/Workspace1_004.png Help! | 07:45 |
| fmauro | rayvtirx: are you using gnome? | 07:45 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, I'm assuming that the disc is sda | 07:45 |
| rayvtirx | no 10.04 server | 07:45 |
| fmauro | rayvtirx: ah k. sec | 07:46 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, i386 installed on sda, AMD64 installed on sdb. | 07:46 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, should be fine, but have you bee trying to access sdb by haveing it first in the bos? | 07:46 |
| nit-wit | *bios | 07:47 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, No. But I doubt it would do anything, the installer says it installed GRUB to /dev/sda1 | 07:47 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, you didn't use the corret command there is no partition # in it | 07:48 |
| fmauro | rayvtirx: the updates are scheduled as cron-jobs in cron.daily, under apt / aptitude | 07:48 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, then id didn't have a 1. This was the Ubuntu 11.04 Natty AMD64 Alternate Flash Drive | 07:48 |
| rayvtirx | ok thanks fmauro :D | 07:48 |
| rayvtirx | and everyone | 07:49 |

| stevethepirate | Hi, I'm on a 11.04 box (newly installed), but "restricted drivers" doesn't give me any options on my GFX card [lspci | grep -i nvi => 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 1040 (rev a1) | 07:49 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, you are not making sense I asked were you booted to the natty 32 you said yes I then gave you 2 commands to run. | 07:49 |
| dradec | does Ubuntu 11.04 make use of ipv6 by default? | 07:50 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, I'm saying, when I ran the installer on the alt. cd, it said it installed GRUB to /dev/sda... I alsoneed to know which drive to put GRUB on, the new one, or the one I'm about to destroy when I'm done here | 07:50 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, why is that relevant? | 07:50 |
| spyzer | fmauro, either resizing of the icon helped or because I restarted the entire system(instead of just log-out) that helped, one of those did the trick :) | 07:50 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, your not putting grub in a partition but in the mbr | 07:51 |
| fmauro | spyzer: glad it worked out | 07:51 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, I have two physical drives | 07:51 |
| r000t_nb | I can take one out | 07:51 |
| r000t_nb | and throw it way | 07:51 |
| r000t_nb | and the other one will still be spinning | 07:51 |
| spyzer | fmauro: can i mention this as a workaround in the ubuntu bug page? | 07:51 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, I give up your not following instructions. | 07:52 |
| r000t_nb | Which drive's MBR do I want to wrote to | 07:52 |
| fmauro | spyzer: yes ofc | 07:52 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t_nb: the one the bios boots first | 07:52 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, look back in the channel and read the answr is there. | 07:52 |
| r000t_nb | Intallation finished. Restart now? | 07:53 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, du=did you run sudo update-grub | 07:53 |
| r000t_nb | No. Thanks for reminding me | 07:54 |
| r000t_nb | This is interesting... when I ran update-grub, it only printed one pair of images | 07:54 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, if the sda drive is first in the bios reboot, now to get the natty 64 to have control of the boot if you get in run the same install command but change it to sdb, the you can wipe the nmatty 32 after you check the natty 64 with a reboot | 07:55 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, post them output from the terminal in a pastebin | 07:56 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, OK. So do I restart now? | 07:56 |
| r000t_nb | ok | 07:56 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t_nb: you said earlier that the 64bit install was encrypted? is that just your /home that is encrypted? | 07:56 |
| r000t_nb | ThinkT510, Nope. Encrypted LVM | 07:56 |
| nit-wit | ThinkT510, you catch the error 17 | 07:57 |

| r000t_nb | nit-wit, It didn't give me an option | 08:01 |
| ThinkT510 | nit-wit: just wondering, how would a non-encrypted grub install detect kernels within an encrypted lvm? | 08:01 |
| nit-wit | ThinkT510, it does I have dula booted with a similar set up but with fedora, all 32 bit though. | 08:01 |

| Stava | How can I remove/hide the Ubuntu One banner in nautilus? I dont want to remove ubuntuone entirely, because im using it, but that banner/toolbar is really annoying | 08:02 |

| ThinkT510 | nit-wit: oh, cool. as you can tell i don't know much about encrption | 08:02 |
| nit-wit | *read closer I said install> r000t_nb | 08:02 |
| r000t_nb | So just.... reinstall | 08:03 |
| r000t_nb | ? | 08:03 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, that is what I would do. It is a questyion of how long you want to wait for help, and even the get it fixed. | 08:04 |
| nit-wit | *then | 08:04 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, What I'm going to do is remove the 32 drive during the install, then reconnect it long enough to transfer my larger folders | 08:05 |
| r000t_nb | So it has no choice in the matter | 08:05 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, if you reinstall put grub in the mbr of the HD your installing to whch is sdb right now, then put it first in the bios to be read. | 08:05 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, as long as grub goes to that HD's mbr you will be okay. | 08:06 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, it got put in the wrong hd's mbr it sounds like, but natty 32 should have seen it so it is dificult to say without like the boot script all of this would have been in the script. | 08:07 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t_nb: why do you want to remove drives while the system is running? | 08:08 |
| nit-wit | ThinkT510, good question I am assuming before install, you never know though. ;) | 08:10 |
| r000t_nb | ThinkT510, 1) Turn off 2) Remove old drive 3) Install to new drive 4) Put old drive in slave configuration 5) Boot to new drive 6) Transfer large files and games 7) Shut down 8) Remove old drive 9) Burn old hard drive before the feds find it | 08:10 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, and there is the crux you need the natty 64 as the main drive, not a slave with grub in the main. | 08:11 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t_nb: sounds much better, but i sincerely hope step 9 is a joke | 08:11 |
| r000t_nb | ThinkT510, I did so many illegal things before I realized many parts of my drive, including swap, were unencrypted | 08:11 |
| r000t_nb | Also this new one is larger | 08:12 |
| r000t_nb | Much larger | 08:12 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, you have admitted this with your IP showing, the black helicopters are on their way. ;) | 08:13 |
| nit-wit | run rabbit run | 08:13 |
| r000t_nb | nit-wit, How do you (or a judge) know I wasn't joking for comic relief? | 08:13 |
| nit-wit | r000t_nb, same here. ;) | 08:13 |
| nit-wit | lol | 08:13 |
| r000t_nb | I mean come on, Charlie Sheen admitted to doing crack on national television | 08:13 |

| r000t_nb | And is my IP showing? | 08:14 |

| KSHawkEye | llutz: For logs/ that is | 08:21 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: chgrp the dir to www-data, 775 is fine then | 08:21 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: ah, you don't speak about /var/log? | 08:21 |
| nit-wit | mang0, no its not but compiz has so many switches it is difficult where to start. Look for the compiz instauctions with web up8 website. | 08:21 |
| Semtex | hey guys, does anyone know if firefox 5 has a bug where it intermittently freezes for a few seconds when clicking on hyperlinks? | 08:21 |
| Semtex | and if 5.0.1 suffers from this? | 08:21 |
| i5noc | Semtex, ive never had that particular issue perse... | 08:21 |
| Semtex | hmm | 08:22 |
| i5noc | but | 08:22 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: I suppose I can just replace compiz like you said, and see if that makes a differance? | 08:22 |
| i5noc | ive seen firefox freeze when trying to load a script thats heavy | 08:22 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: No, its a directory within the software I'm trying to run on the server (roundcube) and it keeps throwing errors for both /temp and /logs | 08:22 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: and only make those really needed dirs writeable, all other 755 | 08:22 |
| i5noc | when one tab gets pwnd the whole thing goes unresponsive - that happens often for me | 08:22 |
| nit-wit | mang0, the replace commands just restart it | 08:22 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: Right, I knew that much | 08:22 |
| Semtex | I dont think its a script tihing beacuse it happends on simple sites that have little or no script | 08:22 |
| Semtex | I'll try disabling addons | 08:23 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: Oh. Hmm, I'll have a look at all that. Why is it that the launcher thing is just pure black with no icons? That's more important I suppose | 08:23 |
| sammyE | After installing ubuntu, I also installed Windows7 (master boot record overwrited...) how can I boot ubuntu without installing grub? | 08:24 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: i misread you, thought you talk about /tmp etc... give www-data limited write-access to those dirs it really needs to write. that should be fine | 08:24 |
| nit-wit | mang0, hard to say I assume you had compiz all tweaked for the clasic desktop, and there is a conflict. | 08:24 |
| Semtex | not sure if you can sammyE you need a bootloader | 08:24 |
| mang0 | well nit-wit I can try switching to metacity? | 08:25 |
| i5noc | Semtex, do you get the same issue with 3.x? | 08:25 |
| quiescens | sammyE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 08:25 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: Alright, so I'll just chmod 777 those two directories then, I just wasn't sure if that was the solution, thanks. | 08:25 |
| Semtex | nope was fine i5noc | 08:25 |
| nit-wit | sammyE, easybcd | 08:25 |
| i5noc | k | 08:25 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: not 777, chown all the stuff user:www-data with 755 and chmod 775 those dirs | 08:25 |
| Semtex | also why does the firefox updates take soo long to reach the repositories? | 08:26 |
| nit-wit | mang0, thats why I mentioned that then you can mess with compiz. | 08:26 |
| === Lucifer is now known as Guest69183 | ||
| === Guest69183 is now known as _Lucifer | ||
| llutz | KSHawkEye: you don't want to have your webserver have writeaccess to all dirs/files | 08:26 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: Ah okcay, I'll try metacity now, thanks. | 08:26 |
| nit-wit | sammyE, are you familiar with easybcd? | 08:26 |
| nit-wit | mang0, no problem, you know how to alt-f2 to a tty and stop the desktop and get back in? | 08:27 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: I had to do it once, but I had someone walk me through it. No, I'm afraid I don't :/ | 08:27 |
| i5noc | still stalking u acid | 08:28 |
| i5noc | srry | 08:28 |
| nit-wit | mang0, I forget the stop command anybody want to chime it in. | 08:28 |
| sammyE | quiescens: I don't want to reinstall grub, I'm searching for a way to boot ubuntu. e.g. a command at grub> to just boot from a hdx,x | 08:28 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: you mean to stop x? it's alt +f2 isn't it? | 08:28 |
| i5noc | sammyE, yeah that can be done | 08:29 |
| nit-wit | mang0, that gets you to a command line to run the stop command, it is still running when your there. | 08:29 |
| mang0 | oh. | 08:29 |
| i5noc | try find /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 08:29 |
| mang0 | somehting about sudo -kill x isn't it nit-wit ? | 08:29 |
| mang0 | hold on i'll google | 08:30 |
| i5noc | thats going to be the root for your manual command | 08:30 |
| nit-wit | mang0, worse possible rebot. | 08:30 |
| mang0 | XD | 08:30 |
| nit-wit | *reboot | 08:30 |
| i5noc | http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4622?page=0,1 | 08:30 |
| sammyE | i5noc: there may be a problem. the partition is crypted with luks. so find /boot/grub/grub.cfg doesn't work. | 08:30 |
| i5noc | would look like that 'to start lets boot slackware' bit | 08:30 |
| i5noc | HA | 08:30 |
| i5noc | that's why /boot is never encrypted | 08:30 |
| i5noc | you need it to boot the kernel which has the stuff to undo the luks | 08:31 |
| i5noc | instead you need to boot to another enviornment and decrypt iirc | 08:31 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: apparantly it's ctrl-alt-f1, then login with user name and then $ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 08:31 |
| i5noc | / can be encrypted, just not /boot | 08:31 |
| quiescens | sammyE: what is actually happening? when you try to boot you get a grub prompt instead of a menu? | 08:31 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: I understand what your saying, I'm just not sure how to actually do it... if I add a new group, doesn't httpd then need to run under that group so that it has the same permissions? | 08:31 |
| i5noc | btw nit-wit / mang0 | 08:31 |
| sammyE | I get the windows mbr boot screen, I can't select ubuntu on it | 08:32 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: www-data IS the group apache/httpd runs as | 08:32 |
| nit-wit | mang0, that is it man, | 08:32 |
| i5noc | fusion-icon is the king | 08:32 |
| mang0 | i5noc: Hmm? | 08:32 |
| mang0 | ah | 08:32 |
| i5noc | sammyE, try a livecd | 08:32 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: Ah | 08:32 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: so I need to switch to metacity and then run that command stuff? | 08:32 |
| _Lucifer | it seems pressing enter will sometimes crash my system. it could be a case of correlation does not equal causation, but the crash is always upon hitting enter, but not every press of enter crashes. it'll drop me into what appears to be the splash screen, usually with just the progress dots moving, without the actual logo. I can usually, but not always, drop into a pure terminal interface with ctrl-alt-f1. any ideas what this might be? and as a semi rela | 08:32 |
| _Lucifer | ted note, is it possible to submit posts on XChat without hitting enter so I don't accidentally crash while trying to figure it out? | 08:32 |
| i5noc | don't install just boot and open terminal and go from there so to speak | 08:32 |
| sammyE | tried it. and i went into grub. but the stuff with "find /boot/grub/stage1" doesn't work. i dont know why | 08:32 |
| nit-wit | i5noc, and a button on the desktop like synapse while your messing with compiz and watch your desktop melt. ;) | 08:32 |
| i5noc | nit-wit, yeah, i like a launcher for terminal, but ya | 08:33 |
| i5noc | :P | 08:33 |
| i5noc | ok sammyE go to #flood plz we can paste stuff there, yeah? | 08:33 |
| mang0 | why not just install pastebinit | 08:33 |
| mang0 | sudo command her | pastebinit | 08:34 |
| fmauro | _Lucifer: that is one twisted problem :) what does your dmesg say after these crashes? | 08:34 |
| quiescens | sammyE: if you get a windows boot manager, then your best solution is to boot a livecd, mount your partitions somewhere and then reinstall grub | 08:34 |
| i5noc | mang0, he cant boot to it | 08:34 |
| mang0 | oh | 08:34 |
| mang0 | O.o | 08:34 |
| nit-wit | i5noc, I had compiz running great even before the release I found a websit with great instructions, like the extra buttons. | 08:34 |
| i5noc | quiescens, yeah | 08:34 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: Is the group made by default because I had to add it for it to recognize it? | 08:34 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Is someone trying to dual-boot Windows? | 08:34 |
| i5noc | o god | 08:34 |
| i5noc | no | 08:34 |
| cypha` | dualbooting is so oldschool | 08:35 |
| llutz | KSHawkEye: its a systemgroup, created when installing apache or other webservers | 08:35 |
| MrCoffeeTV | That's easy: sudo update-grub | 08:35 |
| i5noc | the person in question has an encrypted partition which may include / and /boot | 08:35 |
| fmauro | _Lucifer: has this problem emerged recently (on other distros as well) | 08:35 |
| i5noc | and is trying to unllock it | 08:35 |
| mang0 | i5noc: omg. | 08:35 |
| nit-wit | MrCoffeeTV, if the distro your in has grub in the mbr. | 08:35 |
| mang0 | that's not cool | 08:35 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Just did that earlier when I installed Debian.... Ubuntu uses Grub 2, so there's no menu.lst to deal with. | 08:35 |
| _Lucifer | fmauro you know, for some reason I've never thought to check that. I think the last time I started reading the xsession errors file though, and nothing seemed related there though | 08:35 |
| i5noc | though, it is also a dual boot situation MrCoffeeTV | 08:35 |
| girl_ | someone told me to run "rm -rf /" in terminal to boost performance. I did it , the pc froze and now kubuntu does not boot. Can anyone help me | 08:36 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Actually, the grub in my Ubuntu is on the Ubuntu disk its self. | 08:36 |
| fmauro | _Lucifer: try reproducing the error and look at your dmesg log to see what your kernel did | 08:36 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Not the Windows disk. | 08:36 |
| oCean | !danger | 08:36 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 08:36 |
| _Lucifer | actually come to think of it, I think it started when I switched from gdm to lightdm. could this be related? | 08:36 |
| cypha` | I think it has to be to prevent it from breaking grub | 08:36 |
| MrCoffeeTV | One solution: Get Clonezilla, and then clone your Ubuntu partition, and also clone your Windows partition separately. | 08:36 |
| === altin_ is now known as altin | ||
| fmauro | _Lucifer: could very well be. but I wouldn't know why it would dislike the enter button | 08:37 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Then, use Clonezilla to put Ubuntu on its own disk. This will hopefully preserve the boot properties. | 08:37 |
| nit-wit | girl_, you wiped the sytem. | 08:37 |
| oCean | girl_: that most likely has destroyed your system. Where was this "advice" given? | 08:37 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Then, put the Windows partition image on a separate drive, then boot Ubuntu. Then, you should be able to do the sudo update-grub. | 08:37 |
| nit-wit | MrCoffeeTV, do you need help? | 08:38 |
| girl_ | oCean: my bf told me that | 08:38 |
| KSHawkEye | llutz: Hmm, my httpd is actually running as root it shows, with the sub processes running as "apache" user | 08:38 |
| girl_ | oCean: what do you mean destryed my system | 08:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Someone was wondering about dual booting Ubuntu, nit-wit, so I figured I'd add how I've done it. | 08:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Anyway, carry on. | 08:38 |
| oCean | girl_: the command (please don't post it here again) will remove everything from your filesystem. | 08:38 |
| nit-wit | MrCoffeeTV, just checking.;) | 08:39 |
| * herkupus smells a troll | 08:39 | |
| girl_ | but is thier no way to recover? | 08:39 |
| * racho agrees with herkupus | 08:39 | |
| oCean | girl_: unless you have backups, no | 08:39 |
| _Lucifer | fmauro no idea. something made me think of that, whenever I would hit f5 while at the semi splash screen thing (no idea why I did that), some text would scroll by and one of the things was something along the lines of "starting lightdm [fail] " now that I'm thinking on it. I think I'll try to get a dmesg before switching back though, see why it would | 08:39 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I do like Ubuntu's version of Grub. I just wish they would get rid of the 100% sizing bug when I open up firefox. | 08:39 |
| oCean | girl_: and even in that case, you would have to reinstall a basic system to be able to restore your backup | 08:39 |
| girl_ | what happens if I mount the partition in livecd will I have access to files home folder? | 08:40 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: How do I configure metacity for Unity? | 08:40 |
| oCean | girl_: you removed everything | 08:40 |
| oCean | girl_: but sure, you could try running livecd and see what is left | 08:41 |
| mang0 | I'm using it now but I'm not sure how to configure it. Can I still use compiz-fusion manager? | 08:41 |
| nit-wit | mang0, metacity --replace will switch it to it. | 08:41 |
| fmauro | girl_: you may be able to recover certain files if you don't overwrite stuff and your home folder wasn't encrypted | 08:41 |
| mang0 | I've already switched to it nit-wit | 08:41 |
| girl_ | fmauro: not encrypted | 08:41 |
| mang0 | looks the same as before, gnome2 | 08:41 |
| elhoir|wrk | hi there | 08:42 |
| nit-wit | mang0, I would set compiz to default then run compiz --replace the start the breakage. | 08:42 |
| elhoir|wrk | im behind a proxy, and i have lost apt-get access | 08:42 |
| nit-wit | *then | 08:42 |
| _Lucifer | girl_ you could try recovery tools such as scalpel from a live session, since much of it should still be there unless it was actually overwritten, just nothing pointing to it | 08:42 |
| elhoir|wrk | it worped properly before | 08:42 |
| fmauro | girl_: then I would suggest you make a full dd image of your disk and try to recover from there. this is no easy feat | 08:42 |
| mang0 | okay nit-wit | 08:42 |
| elhoir|wrk | but i changed in gnome settings and stopped working :-/ | 08:42 |
| girl_ | fmauro: ok | 08:42 |
| elhoir|wrk | may anyone help please? | 08:43 |
| nit-wit | mang0, there are lots of help websites for this you might cruise goolge a bit to get a setup known to work. | 08:43 |
| girl_ | fmauro:, _lucifer, actually I was tricked, I did not run the command directly it was in a cript | 08:43 |
| girl_ | edit script | 08:43 |
| nit-wit | mang0, to start with. | 08:43 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: okay, thanks. | 08:43 |
| redmarv | hi all | 08:43 |
| nit-wit | mang0, I have it down now so I removed my bokmarks. | 08:43 |
| mang0 | I've got the unity interface now, but the launcher/dock thing is still not showing icons. nit-wit < | 08:43 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: damn! | 08:44 |

| tekonivelo | hi. my Gwibber window only flashes on screen and then vanishes. It seems to be starting in a window to small for it. I tried to maximize all windows with compiz, but that didn't help i'm afraid :\ | 08:45 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: try running it from a terminal and look at the error messages there | 08:46 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: it's time for some power googling! I've just logged out and in, and I've reverted to my gnome! Gr. | 08:46 |
| redmarv | I explain, I'd like to create a server that when I upload from my mobile an image, it work on it and return a string with some values | 08:46 |

| tekonivelo | fmauro: yeah that's what i'm doing | 08:46 |
| nit-wit | mang0, no fun like watching the desktop go hog wild.;) | 08:47 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: what does it return then? | 08:47 |
| girl_ | oCean:,_Lucifer,fmauro: Thanks for your help I mounted the partition from live cd and recovered my whole home folder, everything seems present | 08:47 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: i get a lot of Gtk-warning about underallocation | 08:47 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: indeed haha | 08:47 |
| Maaksaa | Thank you very much | 08:47 |
| wangxingchao | hi | 08:47 |
| deven_ | is there something like system restore on ubuntu? | 08:47 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: could you post it to pastebin? | 08:47 |
| mang0 | nit-wit: google ssl?! O.o OoooOooh! | 08:48 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: also you could try running under a regular gnome session first to see if it isnt compiz that is acting up | 08:48 |
| bazhang | deven_, no | 08:48 |
| nit-wit | mang0, it is the only way I fly | 08:49 |
| deven_ | then is there any way for me to restore my system to last know good configuration on ubuntu using some other software? | 08:49 |
| bazhang | deven_, from backups | 08:49 |

| tekonivelo | fmauro: oops sorry, my kerlen panicked :D | 08:51 |
| psyche | i have ubuntu 11.04 installed ion my PC along with windows &.. | 08:51 |
| psyche | after updating my ubuntu, it asked me to restart.. | 08:52 |
| girl_ | psyche: Then | 08:52 |
| psyche | after restarting the GRUB prompt would appear instead of login page | 08:52 |
| * tekonivelo hasn't had a kernel panic in more than a decade | 08:52 | |

| psyche | i have a CD of ubuntu 10.10 i upgraded to 11.,04 later | 08:54 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: maybe you can edit the size in gconf-editor under apps/gwibber | 08:54 |
| psyche | my grub says nothing girl | 08:54 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: this is what i'm getting: "(gwibber:2410): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to underallocate GwibberGtkStreamView's child GwibberGtkTileBox 0x880f9b0. Allocation is 84x1, but minimum required size is 84x200." | 08:54 |
| girl_ | psyche: I will give you instructions to reinstall grub and see if that will work | 08:54 |
| nit-wit | psyche, you need a natty cd to fix this grub in natty is dfferent. | 08:54 |
| girl_ | psyche:can you boot the live cd | 08:54 |
| psyche | yess i did boot the live CD but it shows me the option of installing ubuntu rather than repairing the broken fragments | 08:55 |
| nit-wit | I'm not joking here a natty cd only girl_ and psyche | 08:55 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: and this one happens before: "(gwibber:2410): Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to underallocate GtkMenuBar's child GtkImageMenuItem 0x8a879a8. Allocation is -1073741720x-1, but minimum required size is 5898228x21." | 08:55 |

| girl_ | psyche: can you boot a live environment | 08:56 |
| nit-wit | psyche, you need one take my word for it grub 1.99 is diferent you can't reload it with any other than a natty cd | 08:56 |
| girl_ | psyche: and start a terminal | 08:56 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: i did, but couldn't find anything relevant... i'll do a search on "gwibber" | 08:56 |

| deven_ | for getting proper system restore, which folders are important to backup? | 08:57 |
| psyche | nit-wit: what can i do..? | 08:57 |
| nit-wit | girl_, ah if you can yes sorry, you did not mention chroot and seemed rather inexsperienced. | 08:57 |
| soreau | deven_: At least $HOME | 08:58 |
| deven_ | ok anything other than home folder which can be important to backup? | 08:58 |

| mang0 | nit-wit: Indeed. Humph. :P | 08:59 |
| deven_ | thanks for help soreau & ubottu :))))) claps | 09:00 |
| girl_ | psyche: do you know how to mount a partition | 09:00 |
| psyche | yes | 09:00 |
| girl_ | girl_ mount your partition where ubuntu is installed somewhere | 09:00 |
| psyche | okk | 09:00 |
| soreau | deven_: FWIW, ubottu is a bot as the nick hints | 09:00 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: there's /apps/gwibber/preferences/window_size (i've set it to [500,500]), but that doesn't help. Is there some transition to some other place to save settings (gnome-settings-deamon)? it has an org.gwibber schema too | 09:00 |
| girl_ | now in terminal type "sudo -i" | 09:00 |
| psyche | okk | 09:01 |
| deven_ | lol@ok soreau | 09:01 |
| girl_ | psyche: type "chroot /the/directory/where/you/mounted/" | 09:01 |
| psyche | okk | 09:01 |
| girl_ | psyche: give me a sec | 09:02 |
| girl_ | psyche: sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 09:02 |
| girl_ | psyche: change --boot-directory and sda as needed | 09:03 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: yes I tried that as well with no luck... ( the gconf setting ). I'll keep looking | 09:03 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: ok i solved it | 09:04 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: do tell :) | 09:04 |
| nmvictor | I have a small concern, when using GnomeDo or Synapse to open files (.avi,.mp4,.pdf e.t.c) with their default applications, nautilus is opened with the file selected in its containing dir. I started experiencing this with Natty, In maverick the default behaviour was to open the file with its default application. How do I get this behaviour in Natty? | 09:05 |
| tekonivelo | the gwibber window preferences in Oneiric are stored in gnome-settings-daemon, not gconf | 09:05 |
| arack95 | :o | 09:06 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: oh I see. glad it worked out | 09:06 |
| tekonivelo | so gwibber remember's it's own window size, see "gsettings list-recursively org.gwibber.state" | 09:06 |
| nmvictor | Anyone experiencing the problem above too? | 09:06 |
| fmauro | tekonivelo: indeed | 09:07 |
| slinzex | Hi there! | 09:07 |
| slinzex | I was upgrading my ubuntu maverick, and get this error "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine1.3/ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3_1.3.24-0ubuntu1~ppa1~maverick1_all.deb 404 Not Found" | 09:07 |
| slinzex | What can I do? because upgrade is aborted | 09:07 |
| FloodBot1 | slinzex: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:07 |
| tekonivelo | and "gsettings reset org.gwibber.state height ;gsettings reset org.gwibber.state width" solved it | 09:07 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: \o/ | 09:07 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: live and learn :) | 09:08 |
| fmauro | slinzex: you can try to remove the faulty ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/[...] | 09:08 |
| nmvictor | slinzex: how about you remove the wine package temporarily to proceed with the upgrade then sort it later | 09:09 |
| slinzex | fmauro how to remove it manually? | 09:09 |
| slinzex | fmauro ah ok nothing | 09:09 |
| girl_ | slinzex: THis problem is on server side (ppa) not yours, you could disable the wine ppa then try again | 09:09 |
| slinzex | fmauro I'll try | 09:09 |
| slinzex | girl_ ok | 09:09 |
| tekonivelo | fmauro: thanks for help and sparring! i owe you one | 09:11 |

| rabbit1 | daedra: Thanks, any suggestion for external HD as i have to take backup from ext and FAT, both | 09:19 |
| bobweaver | I guess what I mean is when installing or running ubiquity what is going on I am real confused about how upstreaming works | 09:19 |
| daedra | ThinkT510: X doesn't look at .xinitrc | 09:20 |
| daedra | ThinkT510: at least on Ubuntu 11.04 | 09:21 |
| ThinkT510 | daedra: ah, sorry, was thinking from arch viewpoint | 09:21 |

| jrib | Onepamopa: because it's not a nice debian package I suppose. You can add it as an alternative, see update-alternatives documentation | 10:01 |
| Onepamopa | chcecking.. | 10:02 |
| jrib | slinzex: you want the theme that corresponds to the "controls" tab when you customized | 10:02 |
| slinzex | jrib I just need to access metacity-theme-1.xml of CURRENT theme | 10:02 |
| slinzex | jrib in controls I have GTK Leopard | 10:03 |
| jrib | slinzex: yes, so go to gnome-appearance-properties, click customize. See what is selected under the "controls". Copy that from /usr/share/themes/ to ~/.themes/. Renaming it is probably a good idea but not required as ~/.themes will override /usr/share/themes/. Then make your modifications | 10:03 |
| slinzex | jrib but in /usr/share/themes I haven't | 10:03 |
| jrib | slinzex: then check ~/.themes/ | 10:04 |
| oCean | Onepamopa: first add it to alternatives using: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/{whateverpathtonewjavaversion}/bin/java {some_priority} | 10:04 |
| slinzex | jrib thx, is there! | 10:04 |
| Onepamopa | oCean already done, thanks anyway :) | 10:06 |
| wasanzy | hi all | 10:06 |
| g33p | hello! how do i convert my ubuntu 11.04 server install to a minimal server install? (system is overloaded all the time) | 10:07 |
| minimec | Hi. Imagine you have a vanilla firefox install in /home/minimec/firefox and you want to add the libflashplayer.so. In what folder would you put that plugin? | 10:08 |
| jrib | g33p: what do you mean when you say "system is overloaded"? | 10:08 |
| jrib | minimec: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 10:08 |
| ThinkT510 | g33p: remove what you don't need | 10:08 |
| Ascavasaion | How do I find out what my IP is that my IP assigned to me? I am on a PC behind an ADSL router. Thank you. | 10:08 |
| g33p | uptime command's output has figures like 2.3 etc all the time | 10:08 |
| asdjaputra | g33p, don't install Xorg ;) | 10:08 |
| minimec | jrib: I did that, but it doesn't work at all. | 10:08 |
| jrib | g33p: well what's hogging the cpu in top? | 10:08 |
| minimec | jrib: That is driving me nuts... | 10:09 |
| jrib | minimec: is there a reason you aren't just using mozilla-team's ppa for firefox? | 10:09 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: ethernet or wireless? | 10:09 |
| g33p | uh oh! its noip2 that i'd been running to update my dns | 10:09 |
| Ascavasaion | ThinkT510: I did a /dns Ascavasaion ... it worked :) | 10:10 |
| stephenh | hello. does anyone have success connecting to a mssql database with tsql? | 10:10 |
| minimec | jrib: Yes there is. I use the prism 'replacement' WebRunner, which uses a local firefox copy as local environment. | 10:10 |
| ThinkT510 | !yay | Ascavasaion | 10:10 |
| ubottu | Ascavasaion: Glad you made it! :-) | 10:10 |
| Ascavasaion | ThinkT510: I am on wireless behind the ADSL router which is connected via phoneline. | 10:10 |
| iceroot | Kingsy: i dont know if it is there just wanted to show you how such "problems" are handled in ubuntu | 10:11 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: ifconfig wlan0 will show you your ip (assuming wlan0 is your wireless) | 10:12 |
| jrib | minimec: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism "Only way I found to add the flash plugin to WebRunner was to copy my plugins folder from firefox to the webrunner folder." Try that I suppose | 10:12 |
| minimec | jrib: You cannot imagine how many folders I tried... I saw this message too. | 10:13 |
| adil_ | Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to change default ubuntu font when another keyboard layout is selected. Thanks | 10:14 |
| Ascavasaion | ThinkT510: That only gives me the internal IP of the laptop on the home network. I was trying to figure out what my IPis to the outside world. | 10:14 |
| jrib | minimec: see http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2008/01/19/getting-flash-to-work-with-prism-in-linux/ ? | 10:14 |

| DistroJockey | Ascavasaion: np | 10:14 |
| reachingperfecti | cannot see my partition in places on ubuntu 11.04 | 10:15 |
| jrib | minimec: you are restarting firefox completely after placing the plugin in the specified folders? | 10:15 |
| girl_ | reachingperfecti: what do you mean partition places? | 10:15 |
| minimec | jrib: I then decided to try a simple vanilla firefox install. Yes I do restart the browser. | 10:16 |
| jrib | minimec: I'd suggest asking the mozilla folks then | 10:16 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: ahh, i see | 10:16 |
| minimec | jrib: It's like 10 years of Linux experience are useless. Never had this feeling... | 10:16 |
| R1ck | because of firewalling, I need to specify a specific port for nlockmgr (NFS), I cant find options for this in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server (or nfs-common) - anyone know how I can do this? | 10:17 |
| minimec | jrib: I am asking on #firefox, but no answer until now. | 10:17 |
| minimec | jrib: THX anyway | 10:17 |
| jrib | minimec: try on mozilla's irc server | 10:17 |
| ThinkT510 | Ascavasaion: here is one way: http://www.whatismyip.com/ | 10:17 |
| minimec | jrib: That is a good idea. THX | 10:17 |

| astraljava | asdjaputra: I never said it's not possible. :) | 10:27 |
| asdjaputra | astraljava, heh heh | 10:28 |
| jrib | asdjaputra: you can change the keyboard combination to whatever you want I believe... | 10:28 |

| asdjaputra | PainK, no, leoll doesn't have maverick packages yet, as far as it can go is lucid packages | 11:07 |
| asdjaputra | but basically, PainK, you can use lucid packages of leoll PPA in your maverick | 11:07 |

| reachingperfecti | a partition already mounted on ubuntu 11.04 but not visible in places | 11:13 |
| Druif | Is there a way to find out which process is consuming my bandwidth? | 11:13 |
| asdjaputra | Places just replace mount /dev/sda3 /mountpoint | 11:13 |
| reachingperfecti | ThinkT510: Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 11:14 |
| reachingperfecti | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 11:14 |
| reachingperfecti | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 11:14 |

| girl_ | dusty: ... | 11:14 |
| asdjaputra | dusty, yes? | 11:14 |
| ThinkT510 | reachingperfecti: are you sure it isn't under places? | 11:14 |
| PainK | asdjaputra: Alright. | 11:15 |
| dusty | ok well i'm using ubuntu 11.04 and everytime I download a file it asks me what program i'd like to open it with, obviously i'm new to linux and not used to the "next next next next that you get with windows when you download a file ? | 11:15 |
| fmauro | Druif: try drake01 answer. much better | 11:15 |
| reachingperfecti | Think510: realy strange i have only 2 partions : 1 c 2 recovery , | 11:16 |
| fmauro | drake01: nice, didn't know about that one. thx | 11:16 |
| dusty | For example I tried to run the jdk java development pack and it wont let me install it, i dont know what program to use to open it with to execute the install ? | 11:16 |
| girl_ | disty: give an expample of the file extension e.g .exe .zip .doc | 11:16 |
| ThinkT510 | dusty: why don't you install java from the repos? | 11:16 |

| girl_ | dusty: Ubuntu has different installer files than windows, .exe .msi will not work | 11:17 |
| LjL | r000t: don't do that, thank you | 11:17 |
| drake01 | fmauro, happy to be helpful. | 11:17 |

| girl_ | dusty: open Ubuntu Software Center | 11:17 |
| dusty | girl ... ok ? | 11:18 |
| asdjaputra | quiet ed? | 11:18 |
| girl_ | ionite: worked? | 11:18 |
| ionite | girl_: I tried it. it says can't open file. | 11:18 |
| girl_ | ionite: sure you did not miss the file | 11:19 |
| ionite | girl_: 100% sure because i renamed it to FX5500.RUN for easier typing. | 11:19 |
| r000t | Anyway, I'm having a major issue with ecryptfs. All I'm trying to do is mount /media/<whatever>/home/r000t/ | 11:20 |
| r000t | That's all I want to do | 11:20 |
| r000t | And it looks like that's damned near impossible | 11:20 |
| raluxgaza | anyone using minimal ubuntu? Is is good for development? | 11:20 |
| girl_ | ionite: Try like this when you get the prompt type "cd /" then press h and press the TAB key it will auto complete to home then when you reach the directory with the file type "ls" | 11:20 |
| r000t | ecryptfs: So secure, even you won't ever see your data | 11:20 |
| ionite | girl_: sounds complicated. | 11:21 |
| ikonia | r000t: you have to unencypt it | 11:21 |
| ikonia | that's the point, what else do you expect | 11:21 |
| r000t | Well | 11:21 |
| ikonia | raluxgaza: minimal ubuntu ? | 11:21 |
| r000t | I cannot | 11:21 |
| r000t | I tried ecryptfs-recover-private | 11:21 |
| MrPopinjay | Yo. Anyone know why the audio in wine seems to stop working when I load diablo 2? | 11:21 |
| raluxgaza | ikonia: yes | 11:21 |
| r000t | but because that folder and my home folder have the same name | 11:21 |
| ThinkT510 | !mini | ikonia | 11:21 |
| ubottu | ikonia: 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 | 11:21 |
| ikonia | raluxgaza: what do you mean | 11:21 |
| ionite | girl_: try in terminal or in recovery root prompt? | 11:21 |
| r000t | the folder in /tmp is just a mimic of my curent home folder | 11:21 |
| girl_ | ionite: will get back to you one moment | 11:21 |
| raluxgaza | ikonia: is it good for software development like python/ruby? | 11:22 |
| girl_ | ionite first try in terminal and practise then recovery prompt | 11:22 |
| girl_ | inonite open a terminal I will explain | 11:22 |
| ikonia | raluxgaza: it's the same as the standard ubuntu install, as you'll need to install the tools, so that makes it not minimal | 11:22 |
| ionite | girl_: give me the exact commands please? | 11:22 |
| girl_ | ionite have you opened terminal | 11:22 |
| ionite | girl_: terminal opened | 11:22 |
| girl_ | type cd / | 11:23 |
| r000t | ikonia, Do you know how to mount two ecryptfs folders with the same name? | 11:23 |
| girl_ | ionite: done? | 11:23 |
| ikonia | r000t: I don't see how they can have the same name | 11:23 |
| raluxgaza | ikonia: aright, it should work out minimal for me because I use like 2% of all standard ubuntu installed packages | 11:23 |
| raluxgaza | ikonia: all i use is browser and terminal | 11:23 |
| girl_ | ionite: "cd /" enter key | 11:23 |
| r000t | ikonia, Simple, one is /home/r000t, the other is /media/150/home/r000t | 11:23 |
| girl_ | ionite: ... | 11:24 |
| ionite | girl_: ok. next? | 11:24 |
| Kingsy | is komodo edit in the ubuntu repos anywhere? | 11:24 |
| Kingsy | apt-cache search komodo returns nothing | 11:24 |
| girl_ | ionite: type "h" do not press enter | 11:24 |
| ionite | girl_: ? | 11:24 |
| girl_ | ionite: then press tab | 11:24 |
| ThinkT510 | !find komodo | 11:24 |
| ionite | girl_: ok. | 11:24 |
| ubottu | Package/file komodo does not exist in natty | 11:25 |
| girl_ | ionite: see what happens? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | r000t: are they on two seperate devices ? | 11:25 |
| ionite | girl_: many H came out | 11:25 |
| r000t | ikonia, yes | 11:25 |
| Kingsy | ThinkT510: so does that mean no? | 11:25 |
| girl_ | ionite: now cd /home | 11:25 |
| ThinkT510 | Kingsy: i assume so | 11:25 |
| Kingsy | kk | 11:25 |
| ThinkT510 | Kingsy: maybe there is a ppa | 11:25 |
| ionite | ok | 11:25 |
| ionite | girl_: ok | 11:26 |
| girl_ | ionite: now cd "your username folder" | 11:26 |
| girl_ | ionite: cd to the folder where you save the .run file in this way | 11:26 |
| girl_ | ionite: you understood about cd | 11:27 |
| stephan | can somebody tell me where texlive folder is? i need to adjust the moderncv.sly | 11:27 |
| ikonia | r000t: how are you trying to unencypt them | 11:27 |
| ionite | girl_: my file is in download folder | 11:27 |
| DistroJockey | ionite, girl_ : Or you can open a terminal window and type: sudo sh ~/Downloads/FX5500.RUN | 11:27 |
| ionite | girl_: so its basically /home/downloads/FX5500.RUN | 11:27 |
| ionite | girl_: so what do i type? | 11:27 |
| drake01 | stephan, try whereis command to check the file locations. | 11:28 |
| girl_ | ionite: what DistroJockey said | 11:28 |
| girl_ | ionite: does the installer show up and give an error about runlevel? | 11:28 |
| ionite | so i'll type exactly 'sudo sh ~/Downloads/FX5500.RUN | 11:28 |
| girl_ | yes | 11:29 |
| ionite | girl_: i was prompt for password and then it says can't open file | 11:29 |
| ionite | girl_: sh can't open: FX5500.RUN | 11:29 |
| girl_ | paste the out put here | 11:29 |
| girl_ | ionite: type cd ~Downloads | 11:30 |
| ionite | girl_: sh: Can't open /home/ionite/Downloads/FX5500.RUN | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | ionite: Remember filenames are CaSe sensitive | 11:30 |
| r000t | ikonia, the only thing that will work is going to the .Private directory in the slave drive and running ecryptfs-recvoer-private... My current folder mounts when I log in | 11:30 |
| girl_ | ionite: lets do this one by one | 11:30 |
| girl_ | ionite: cd ~ | 11:30 |
| Druif | Hi guys, what is the best Terminal IRC client? | 11:30 |
| girl_ | ionite: ls | 11:31 |
| r000t | Druif, irssi | 11:31 |
| llutz | !best | Druif | 11:31 |
| ubottu | Druif: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 11:31 |
| girl_ | ionite: paste output | 11:31 |
| Druif | r000t, ok | 11:31 |
| herkupus | +1 | 11:31 |
| ionite | girl_: when i type 'cd ~' there is no output | 11:31 |
| stephan | drake01: thx | 11:32 |
| girl_ | ionite: now type "ls" | 11:32 |
| raluxgaza | anyone using Irrsi | 11:32 |
| girl_ | ionite; and paste output | 11:32 |
| raluxgaza | **Irssi | 11:32 |
| ionite | girl_: Is: command not found | 11:33 |
| girl_ | LS | 11:33 |
| drake01 | stephan, happy to help!!! | 11:33 |
| girl_ | not iii sss | 11:33 |
| ThinkT510 | ionite: ls inot is | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | LS is not ls also :) | 11:33 |
| girl_ | ionite: ls l as in lamb not i as in igloo | 11:33 |
| ionite | ThinkT510: bash: cd: ls: No such file or directory | 11:33 |
| girl_ | ionite: just type "ls" and press enter | 11:34 |

| r000t | UGH! All I want is my files and it looks like that's not going to happen | 11:35 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t: you can't use a livecd and mount the partitions from there? | 11:36 |
| WaltherFI | r000t: have you tried sudo mountall | 11:37 |
| r000t | ThinkT510, Won't work that way. The two things I have to mount share a name. Also, Encrypted LVM | 11:37 |
| r000t | So I'm bound to this session if I want to get anywhere | 11:37 |
| r000t | I just need ecryptfs to mount a god damned folder like it was meant to | 11:37 |
| rileyp | does irsend work in natty with a mceusb | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | raluxgaza: lots of people use irssi. its a well documented irc client | 11:37 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t: can't you give them seperate mountpoints? | 11:38 |
| r000t | ThinkT510, it gives each attempt a mount oint. The issue is, now there are 8 mountpoints that lead to /home/r000t | 11:38 |
| r000t | and zero that lead to /media/150/home/r000t | 11:38 |
| r000t | ecryptfs is very poorly written | 11:39 |
| r000t | WaltherFI, it just gives me some crap about swap | 11:40 |
| ThinkT510 | r000t: i've never used encryption for harddrives, never really seen the point since i have nothing very important to keep absolutely private | 11:40 |
| r000t | what I could do it | 11:40 |
| WaltherFI | r000t: or... sudo mount -a | 11:40 |
| r000t | No matter how many time sI mount it | 11:41 |
| r000t | every mount | 11:41 |
| WaltherFI | strange | 11:41 |
| WaltherFI | well, encryption is | 11:41 |
| r000t | even if I did this | 11:41 |
| r000t | 900941449095 times | 11:41 |
| r000t | it will ALWAYS | 11:41 |
| r000t | 100% of the time | 11:41 |
| r000t | lead to my current home folder | 11:41 |
| r000t | on the master drive | 11:41 |
| FloodBot1 | r000t: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:41 |

| bteres | Hi all. I have a FAT32 hardrive and all my data appears to be missing. I can't view it but the drive is not empty. Is there any way for me to repair this? | 11:41 |
| r000t | All becaues they share a name, and renaming does not help | 11:41 |
| r000t | bteres, testdisk | 11:42 |
| bteres | r00t: in terminal? | 11:43 |
| bteres | *r000t | 11:43 |
| r000t | All I know is that testdisk does recovery | 11:43 |
| r000t | I know nothing else about it | 11:43 |
| dr_willis | bteres: what happened to the disk? Can you mount it by hand? | 11:44 |
| Druif | Q: What is the best video editor for hdslr video's? | 11:44 |
| WaltherFI | Druif: Novacut when it's ready, until that i suggest UbuntuStudio fork of Ubuntu | 11:45 |
| WaltherFI | Druif: PiTiVi and such | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | Druif: you may want to just see what video editors are out there for linux. :) its sort of a slim field. | 11:45 |
| bteres | Thanks r000t. dr_willis: It mounts and I can see all the folders but they are empty. | 11:45 |
| ThinkT510 | Druif: you could try openshot | 11:45 |
| dr_willis | bteres: so df -h shows it being full? empty? or what? | 11:45 |
| Druif | I know there are al lot of them (kdenlive, pitivi, shotwell, cinelerra), but I just want to know which one is the best for hdslr? | 11:46 |
| WaltherFI | Druif: but seriously, check out the Novacut project, they just got 25kUSD funding | 11:46 |
| * dr_willis wonders what HDSLR means | 11:46 | |
| WaltherFI | Druif: if you have time to wait, around half a year or so | 11:46 |
| rigved | Druif: yes, check out Novacut. | 11:46 |
| CatFish | curry hates me | 11:46 |
| bteres | dr_willis: how do I do that? | 11:47 |
| Druif | Why will Novacut be better? | 11:47 |
| bteres | dr_willis: Excuse that ignorant question. | 11:48 |
| dr_willis | bteres: do what? 'df -h' ? open a terminal.. type it in.. see what % used is.. | 11:48 |
| bteres | dr_willis: It shows 96% usage which is about right | 11:48 |
| bteres | dr_willis: The drive did have very little availabel space before I had an issue | 11:48 |
| xteejx | Hi all, I'm having problems getting lemonpos working. Has anyone used this before and know how to get it working? | 11:49 |
| dr_willis | bteres: so if you cd to the mountmoint and do a 'ls -R' it may or may not show the files... | 11:49 |
| chrisg4u | can anyone help me please? | 11:49 |
| xteejx | chrisg4u: Just ask your question, don't ask to ask :) | 11:49 |

| chrisg4u | No, how do i do that? | 11:50 |
| bteres | dr_willis: What exactly should I be looking for in the 'ls -R'? Seems like a lot... | 11:50 |
| xteejx | chrisg4u: Just a sec... | 11:51 |
| xteejx | chrisg4u: Ok, if you run "sudo service apport start force_start=1" without quotes and then try to reproduce the crash, apport will kick in and send debugging information to us. | 11:52 |
| xteejx | Do you have a Launchpad account? | 11:52 |

| xteejx | I didn't ask for an autorepsonse :/ | 11:54 |
| chrisg4u | Okay, reproduced the crash and it should have sent | 11:54 |
| th0r | bteres: ls -R | less | 11:55 |
| xteejx | chrisg4u: If apport was triggered, you'd know...a dialog would come up | 11:55 |
| ionite | girl_ : gone? | 11:55 |
| ionite | can anyone help me with my video resolution? | 11:55 |
| bteres | thanks th0r | 11:56 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: how can we help? | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | bteres: so it is showing files then? and not just the directorie names? | 11:56 |
| dr_willis | bteres: 'ls -R | less' | 11:56 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: how can i've sucessfullly installed my Geforce FX 5500.RUN | 11:57 |
| dr_willis | bteres: you said the disk looked empty.. so ls showing a lot is a good sign i guess. :) | 11:57 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: but i still can't change the resolution @ system/preferences/monitor | 11:57 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: have you installed the drivers? | 11:57 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: just did it. | 11:57 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: from install file downloaded from internet or the jockey-gtk? | 11:58 |
| bteres | dr_willis: It only shows the _restore data. I'm sure there is a sector issue or something. | 11:58 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: got it from Nvidia drivers for linux | 11:58 |
| bteres | dr_willis: All the expected data folders are empty. | 11:58 |
| Austray | cum in @rsehole | 11:59 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: ah. uninstall that one, install nvidia-current | 11:59 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: why? | 11:59 |
| Austray | mix gay cum & brown hole together | 11:59 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: the packages which have been tested (and modified?) are a bit older but they work | 11:59 |
| WaltherFI | there are usually some issues with the 'newest' ones | 11:59 |

| WaltherFI | ionite: yes, if you have problems with it | 12:02 |
| DistroJockey | ionite, WaltherFI: Does the Nvidia installer add an option to the System - Preferences menu? | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | bteres: you may want to ask in #windows for advice on scan/repairing a fat filesystem. theres numerous live cd's that can help fix/recover things. but i tend to just dd the whole drive a image file and fsck it.. that may not be the 'best' way. | 12:02 |
| zakzakzak | Can i ask a question? | 12:02 |
| dr_willis | zakzakzak: you just did.. have a nice day.. :) | 12:03 |
| WaltherFI | DistroJockey: not sure about that. Anyway, the driver install should add automatically the Nvidia Control panel or whatever, and the Monitors -applet should link to it | 12:03 |
| HotHat | windows title was undisplay in my linux mint box | 12:03 |

| ionite | DistroJockey: it doesn't add anything to my preferences. and i can't change resolution. what should i do? | 12:04 |
| sysdoc | In Appearance Preferences, what happened to effects settings?? | 12:04 |
| DistroJockey | WaltherFI, ionite: the Monitors applet has never linked properly for me in the past. I know ATI drivers have a control section separate | 12:04 |
| zakzakzak | My wireless isn't working, i have a broadcom BCM4313, i spent a week now trying every solution i can find with google, does anyone have a trick up their sleeve? i'm on a lenovo b560 | 12:05 |
| ionite | DistroJockey: Any advise? because the visual i have on my screen is quite laggy and my sound card, banshee is making weird noises whenever my screen goes laggy | 12:05 |
| rileyp | ls irsend working in natty with the mceusd | 12:05 |
| sysdoc | zakzakzak, you have to install the firmware for that WIFI card... See the wiki | 12:05 |
| rileyp | mceusb | 12:05 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: so what should i do now? | 12:06 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: uninstall the dl drivers, install from jockey-gtk | 12:06 |
| DistroJockey | ionite: is the resolution right though? | 12:06 |
| zakzakzak | i think i might have already, i'll try, ty:) | 12:06 |
| slinzex | Hi, got a question > why cannot download wget -emr http://photoshop.demiart.ru/ | 12:06 |
| ionite | DistroJockey: no! my original was at 1300X somehting something. | 12:07 |
| WaltherFI | DistroJockey: when opening Monitors, it suggests 'you have nvidia installed, want to chech there' and ok links to there | 12:07 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: how do i uninstall? | 12:07 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: can't remember, been a while since my last manual driver install | 12:07 |
| DistroJockey | WaltherFI: sorry, I am not running an Nvidia card atm. Wish I was. | 12:07 |
| ubuntu__1 | Hai everyone | 12:08 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: you could try installing the current from jockey-gtk and see if it uninstalls the previous one | 12:08 |
| ionite | btw why is natty so laggy? is it because of my vieideo card? | 12:08 |
| sysdoc | zakzakzak, >>>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 12:08 |
| ubuntu__1 | I m curently encountering a prob. with my hard disk | 12:08 |
| bteres | dr_willis: Sorry, my connection dropped. The _restore stuff is in System Volume Information. I think its Windows stuff. Not too sure | 12:08 |
| ionite | WaltherFI: how do i go about to use jockey-gtk? does it install the right driver if i use jockey-gtk? | 12:09 |
| ubuntu__1 | Whaenever i turn on the sys with the hd p[lugged in, it does not boot up | 12:09 |
| th0r | slinzex: -e expects a command to execute, not a url | 12:09 |
| WaltherFI | ionite: jockey-gtk is the Additional drivers or Propietary drivers or what is it called, ready in your menu | 12:09 |
| aetas | ubuntu__1, can you be a little more specific with your descriptions | 12:10 |
| slinzex | th0r but it now works even with simple -r | 12:10 |
| DistroJockey | ionite: Did you reboot after you successfully installed the drivers manually earlier? | 12:10 |
| ubuntu__1 | But when i unplug it and boot from the usb it starts normally | 12:10 |
| aetas | ionite, omg you're back...whats wrong now? ;) | 12:10 |
| chrisg4u | Sorry had to go but I'm back now | 12:10 |
| ubuntu__1 | I m currently booting from the usb with live ubuntu 9.10 old version | 12:11 |

| ubottu | Pici: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:13 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: so what should i do now? | 12:13 |
| chrisg4u | ok apport is running but when thunderbird crashes I only get the force close dialogue nothing else | 12:13 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: try typing jockey-gtk on the terminal or the unity shell if you're running 11.04 | 12:14 |
| bteres | dr_willis: Sorry, my connection dropped. The _restore stuff is in System Volume Information. I think its Windows stuff. Not too sure | 12:14 |
| ubuntu__1 | Plz help me out | 12:14 |
| Pici | ubuntu__1: This sounds like a hardware issue to me, why do you think this is Ubuntu related? | 12:14 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: why i'm puzzled is that why does nvidia allow a driver that doesn't work on natty or is it natty cannot handle the old graphics card? | 12:14 |
| ionite_ | and why is natty so laggy or is it really my video card that's giving all these visual lag? | 12:15 |

| llutz | daan: http://www.irssi.org/documentation | 12:16 |
| chrisg4u | can anyone help me? | 12:16 |
| ionite_ | why can't i change my monitor resolution on natty? | 12:16 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: well, nvidia does allow you to install thw drivers, but ubuntu can't support every driver version of every gpu so i'd go with the recommended drivers from jockey-gtk | 12:17 |
| ionite_ | so what do i type at the terminal to use jockey-gtk? | 12:17 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: and i'm sure that when you'll have the correct, functioning drivers on, you can change your resolution | 12:17 |
| Pici | ionite_: just that | 12:17 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: i'm totally noob to terminal and just came out from the cluthes of Windows XP pro. please advise me. | 12:18 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: you can find the jockey app from the menu also. It is called 'Additional drivers' or something similar | 12:19 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: or, just type jockey-gtk to the terminal and press enter | 12:19 |
| aetas | ionite_, Im gonna show you this wonderful command "dpkg -L jockey-gtk" will list all files owned by that package | 12:19 |
| aetas | can use that to find where it puts things | 12:20 |
| ebanias | Hi. Can I pull files off a windows hdd, put them on a ubuntu hdd, and then transfer them to another windows hdd.. or are the file systems not compatable enough to do this? | 12:20 |
| aetas | no, it'll work if you have NTFS support | 12:20 |
| WaltherFI | aetas: ionite_ won't need it | 12:20 |
| ionite_ | all i wanna do is to just make sure i can change my monitor resolution to my monitor display capability and also solve the lag. | 12:20 |
| chrisg4u | can anyone help me figure out why thunderbird keeps crashing? | 12:20 |
| DiploCat | 11.04 is entirely disappointing | 12:21 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: Yeah, so pop up a terminal and type jockey-gtk and press enter | 12:21 |
| ionite_ | alright my terminal is opened now. | 12:21 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: and then, doubleclick the 'current' driver, let it install it | 12:21 |
| ebanias | thanks aetas | 12:21 |
| aetas | WaltherFI, he needs to know how to use his OS or do you disagree | 12:21 |
| WaltherFI | aetas: sure, but for a person who just wants to set a correct resolution it is unnecessary to know 'what's under the hood' | 12:21 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: Did the additional drivers thing pop up? | 12:22 |
| aetas | WaltherFI, that sounds more like laziness | 12:22 |
| ionite_ | aetas: mesa-util is already the newest version | 12:22 |
| kamidi | aetas: give me a break. not everyone want to know whats under the hood. many people just want their system to be functional | 12:23 |
| ebanias | just started using ubuntu, wow this built in chat client , empathy, leaves much to be desired lol | 12:23 |
| Tyrnis | plop all | 12:23 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: did you open the jockey-gtk? | 12:23 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: i already had my latest driver installed. | 12:23 |
| DistroJockey | WaltherFI: What I attempted to ask ionite_ before was if they reboot after successfully installing the correct driver. Got no answer though. | 12:23 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: yes. | 12:23 |
| aetas | kamidi, then tell me, if he installs a package how is he going to know what it provides if he doesn't come in here and ask you guys? | 12:24 |
| ionite_ | DistroJockey: it rebooted fine? | 12:24 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: did you install the 'nvidia-current' from there | 12:24 |
| ionite_ | WaltherFI: how do i install current from additional drivers? | 12:24 |
| DistroJockey | ionite_: I am asking the question. | 12:24 |
| rigved | chrisg4u: you can try on #thunderbird on irc.mozilla.org | 12:24 |
| kamidi | aetas: true, but after he has installed propriatary display drivers, issue is solved, no need to ask questions about that anymore | 12:24 |
| WaltherFI | ionite_: doubleclick the driver on the list that is labeled current and recommended | 12:24 |
| aetas | kamidi, I didnt show him that command just so he can get this one thing running, I showed it so he could do this in the future | 12:25 |
| ionite_ | DistroJockey: it rebooted but i still cant change my resolution even after a successful installation of linux nvidia driver. | 12:25 |
| DistroJockey | ionite_: Ok, ty for answering. Carry on :) | 12:25 |
| WaltherFI | DistroJockey: ionite installed newest drivers from nvidia website, probably the reason | 12:25 |
| kamidi | aetas: yes i know you've got point there but still, sometimes it's just easier and more productive to tell how to fix the problem | 12:25 |
| DistroJockey | WaltherFI: That they did | 12:25 |
| mang0 | Catcha later guys, I'm off to play tennis :) | 12:25 |
| aetas | kamidi, he already got the resolution from another user, why would I reiterate | 12:26 |
| oCean | aetas: enough, let's move on | 12:26 |

| aetas | Incarus6, fair point...the 3d effects could be weighing him down if hes on a legacy card | 12:52 |
| DistroJockey | aetas: FX5500 I think it was | 12:53 |
| ionite | aetas: so i'm using classic now. | 12:53 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, which nvidia card are you exactly using? | 12:53 |
| ionite | Incarus6: FX5500 | 12:53 |
| aetas | ionite, still slow? | 12:53 |
| ionite | aetas: visually it's laggy. | 12:54 |
| chrisg4u | Incarus6, Still crashes even ran from terminal :\ | 12:54 |
| syrinx_ | Unity isn't gonna run very good on an FX5xxx | 12:54 |
| Incarus6 | chrisg4u, what does the program return? output? | 12:54 |
| ionite | aetas: as compared to windows, it's more laggy. | 12:54 |
| ubuntu__1 | But when i unplug it and boot from the usb it starts normally | 12:54 |

| ionite | Incarus6: should i switch to 3d mode now? | 12:55 |
| Incarus6 | chrisg4u, a good way to fix that is allways just using another email client ;) | 12:55 |
| Pici | ubuntu__1: This sounds like a hardware issue to me, why do you think this is Ubuntu related? | 12:55 |
| aetas | ionite, no, leave it there for now | 12:56 |
| DistroJockey | ionite, Incarus6, aetas: My suggestion would be to log out and then log in using Ubuntu Classic (No effects) and see what it is like. | 12:56 |
| chrisg4u | Incarus6, what is the next best thing as I don't like using evolution as I use 3 different mail accounts for different purposes and it merges them together | 12:56 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, don't write the message two times, just write both names in the same message | 12:56 |
| aetas | ionite, do me a favor and run this in a terminal "lspci -v" and then look for your NVIDIA card and there will be a number next to it like 0b:00.0, tell me what it is please | 12:56 |
| aetas | ionite, actually don't even need the -v | 12:57 |

| aetas | ionite, lemme look at something real quick | 13:04 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, I suppose another desktop environment could work fine for you since your graphic card isn't the newest. You could try XFCE for example | 13:05 |
| ionite | aetas: it's puzzling because if i were to revert back befor the update for the additional drivers i was able to select resolution but after i installed the latest driver i can't change my resolution. | 13:05 |
| sedavi | can someone tell me why the flash games do not work well in full screen? | 13:05 |
| ionite | Incarus6: so what shoul di do? | 13:05 |
| quiescens | oops | 13:05 |
| quiescens | oh well | 13:05 |
| aetas | ionite, is it running in a higher resolution that is normal? | 13:05 |
| ionite | aetas: right on the dot. | 13:06 |
| ionite | aetas: before the update of drivers. | 13:06 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, first that resolution thing: start "nvidia-settings" and try to change the resolution there | 13:06 |

| saliak | I'm trying to setup a ssh tunnel to a remote system. It's a reverse tunnel initiated by the remote system on startup, that forwards traffic from my local server, to the remote computers ssh port (note, i'm mixing "reverse" tunnel, and what i'm calling "remote and local"). right now, my remote system sets up the reverse tunnel, and forwards port 4000 on my local server, to it's local port 22. to ssh into my remote system, i login to my local | 13:07 |
| saliak | server, and ssh to port 4000. is there a way i can make any computer on my local network simply ssh into a port on my local server, and have that forwarded to the remote system? | 13:07 |
| ionite | Incarus6: progress!! | 13:07 |
| ionite | Incarus6: but i can't save to my X config files | 13:07 |

| aetas | ionite, actually if you're using the nvidia gui there should be a save button in there | 13:08 |
| gorakhargosh | I'm able to boot OS X properly. | 13:08 |
| aetas | ionite, goto the nvidia-settings Configuration setting | 13:09 |
| gorakhargosh | I have the same problem with Windows 7 too. Booting it makes the screen go blank. So there's definitely something that isn't allowing either Windows/Linux to boot. | 13:09 |
| ionite | aetas: i can select a higher reso but it's very pixelated. | 13:09 |
| aetas | ionite, not lower? | 13:09 |

| aetas | ionite, you have to understand what happens behind how X selects its resolution, it queries the monitor and then removes invalid ones, etc | 13:13 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, according to the following website that line seems to cause the speed issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107336 | 13:13 |

| joppan | bazhang: thanks | 13:15 |
| ionite | aetas: i dont' get u | 13:15 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, it's not a KDE related issue in my oppinion | 13:15 |
| aetas | yeah more than likely his switching just caused something else to happen that resolved it | 13:16 |
| chrisg4u | Incarus6, still crashes, I dunno what to try to not make it crash :( | 13:16 |

| gorakhargosh | Incarus6: yes. i had both Windows and Ubuntu running earlier. | 13:21 |
| gorakhargosh | Incarus6: i had working partitions of both and suddenly both stopped working. | 13:21 |
| ne2k | this is incredibly frustrating and I now wish I had never upgraded. what a complete and utter mess | 13:21 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, just start "gedit" and open the file ;) | 13:21 |
| ionite | Incarus6: mind giving me the exact commands? because i'm an idiot to ubuntu terminal | 13:22 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, gedit is a graphical editor, you can start it via the menu (no need for the terminal here). But I can give you a command: "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.con" | 13:23 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, * "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 13:23 |
| jrib | ne2k: I'm in a similar situation to you... sound worked great on maverick but on natty I'm randomly presented with dummy output in pulse. Can you check if your issue is the same? Does pavucontrol show dummy output or something else? | 13:23 |

| humbolt | what could be the problem? | 13:27 |
| gorakhargosh | captainjackstraw: still no go. | 13:27 |
| jrib | ne2k: it is a program that allows you to play with pulseaudio settings | 13:27 |
| robin_ | exit | 13:28 |
| Incarus6 | inoite, I think it's not important at the moment, but we will keep that in mind. Try to remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, reboot after that. type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old && sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf" as one command. reboot after that | 13:28 |

| bazhang | brianherman1, please dont ask for help here, its not supported | 13:36 |

| jrib | ne2k: haha yes of course headphones are not different than speakers, good point. Though sometimes computers will have separate jacks that people use for headphones. Is that the case for you? | 13:36 |

| aetas | alright, where we at? | 13:42 |

| sc30317 | hey, i'm having problems running a cron job | 13:43 |
| sc30317 | i edited it with crontab -e | 13:43 |
| sc30317 | using my regular user | 13:43 |
| jrib | sc30317: you need to be more specific (on one line please) | 13:43 |
| ne2k | jrib: it seems alsa is configured to be an emulation layer that points back to PA | 13:43 |
| fedy | can some help on how to installing ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| sc30317 | jrib, I can run a script manually but when I put it in crontab it doesn't run | 13:43 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, according to his xorg.conf file he is using twinview http://paste.ubuntu.com/654484/ he said he doesn't have another screen. we deleted xorg.conf | 13:43 |
| jrib | sc30317: pastebin the script and your crontab line | 13:44 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: there's nothing ongedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:44 |
| sc30317 | jrib ok | 13:44 |
| aetas | Incarus6, odd | 13:44 |
| jrib | ne2k: though it's not clear that your issue is a pulse-specific issue to me. What sound card do you have? | 13:44 |
| oCean | fedy: do you have a particular question, or are you looking for general installation instructions? | 13:44 |
| ionite_ | aetas: Incarus6 http://paste.ubuntu.com/654496/ | 13:45 |
| ne2k | jrib: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06) It was working fine yesterday! | 13:45 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, I want to check if the speed issue still exist after deleting the xorg.conf file. If not we can change the resoultion properly - if it still exist we could change the driver to nouveau | 13:45 |
| fedy | oCean: yes | 13:45 |
| sc30317 | jrib, crontab -l : http://paste.ubuntu.com/654497/ | 13:45 |
| oCean | fedy: that is not a correct answer to my question | 13:45 |
| Psydoll | whats the ubuntu admin channel plz? | 13:45 |
| fedy | oCean: I been trying to install from usb but it installing | 13:45 |
| oCean | Psydoll: #ubuntu-ops | 13:45 |
| syrinx_ | Psydoll: that was lame | 13:45 |
| ne2k | jrib: I could sort of understand it if I'd upgraded and it hadn't worked, but it's worked since I upgraded, and it just suddenly stopped | 13:45 |
| bazhang | fedy, using unetbootin? | 13:46 |
| jrib | ne2k: no package upgrades since? | 13:46 |
| aetas | Incarus6, how is nouveau anyway? I haven't used it | 13:46 |
| ne2k | jrib: I think there have been a couple | 13:46 |
| Nismo6921 | Can anyone please give me an easy solution to enabling sound on Ubuntu with a GTX470 Fermi Graphics Card with HDMI out? | 13:46 |
| sc30317 | jrib, script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/654499/ | 13:46 |
| ionite_ | aetas: Incarus6 i need to put my monitor in 1280X768 | 13:47 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, some things like 3D isn't fully supported so I have no use for that driver, but it would work better then the proprietary driver with that bug | 13:47 |
| aetas | Incarus6, has he trying running with no effects? | 13:47 |
| jrib | ne2k: it was similar for me. Everything seemed to work fine, then one upgrade and seemingly randomly I'll get dummy output in pavucontrol. And sometimes restarting udev fixes it, and sometimes not... | 13:47 |
| fedy | oCean: I been trying to install using the universial usb installer | 13:47 |
| Nismo6921 | Can anyone please give me an easy solution to enabling sound on Ubuntu with a GTX470 Fermi Graphics Card with HDMI out? | 13:47 |
| ionite_ | aetas: should i remove the additonal driver part? | 13:47 |
| bazhang | fedy, I'd try unetbootin then | 13:48 |
| Incarus6 | ionite_, please paste "xrandr" | 13:48 |
| aetas | ionite_, additional driver part where? | 13:48 |
| fedy | bazhang: thank you | 13:49 |
| jrib | sc30317: add 2>&1 to the end of the line in your script, then check /home/capgemini/Desktop/output.txt | 13:49 |
| tyler_d | I'm trying to roll back my nvidia driver to use the default one provided with ubuntu? help please? | 13:49 |
| fedy | I check it out | 13:49 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, I read that this issue will also occur with disabled effects when running a game for example | 13:49 |
| bazhang | fedy, unetbootin.sourceforge.net if on another distro or windows | 13:49 |
| ne2k | jrib: have you been able to fix it? | 13:49 |
| Infernet | ionite_: have you installed the system to hdd? or boot it from a live cd? | 13:49 |
| ionite_ | Infernet: installed to HDD | 13:49 |
| bazhang | fedy, if from ubuntu its in the ubuntu repos | 13:49 |
| Infernet | ionite_: sure? | 13:49 |
| fedy | can you use unetbootin on windows> | 13:49 |
| fedy | That was my next question | 13:50 |
| jrib | ne2k: no, I've just been booting debian :P It also seems to be some sort of race condition because if I just wait like 10 minutes to login I usually don't have dummy output | 13:50 |
| fedy | yes | 13:50 |
| ionite_ | Infernet: of cousre | 13:50 |
| ionite_ | aetas: Incarus6 http://paste.ubuntu.com/654503/ | 13:50 |
| Nismo6921 | so no one has an answer for me | 13:50 |
| Nismo6921 | cool | 13:50 |
| ionite_ | aetas: meaning i revert back to the original auto detection by ubuntu the resolution was perfect. | 13:50 |
| wols | Nismo6921: you're welcome | 13:50 |
| bazhang | fedy, yep, they have a windows version on that website | 13:51 |
| jrib | ne2k: have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com for your card/issue? Also in my search for a solution to my own problem I see a lot of people adding things to alsa-base.conf to resolve sound issues | 13:51 |
| fedy | bazhang: ty iam cheching it out now | 13:51 |
| aetas | ionite_, this was working before right? did this happen when you installed the new nvidia driver off their website? | 13:52 |
| ne2k | jrib: I don't have a dummy output, I have the real thing but no sound comes out of it | 13:52 |
| Nismo6921 | wols: what gives man? | 13:52 |
| ionite_ | aetas: ya it happened after installed it from nvidia website | 13:52 |
| sc30317 | jrib, that fixed some issues; but now it is giving me an issue about shared libraries that I am not seeing when I just run the script by hand | 13:52 |
| Nismo6921 | im really looking for assistance here | 13:52 |
| jrib | sc30317: hmm? | 13:52 |
| Nismo6921 | it seems im being ignored | 13:52 |
| ionite_ | aetas: i was told that the lag i am experiencing was due to the video card so i had to update with the latest driver | 13:52 |
| matbee | does anyone here know how to remove the 'clear' option from chats in Empathy? | 13:52 |
| Incarus6 | !patient | Nismo6921 | 13:53 |
| safe | Hi! If I was to put a GUI on my server(ubuntu server 11.04) do you think it would sloow it down? IF not which one should I install? | 13:53 |
| matbee | It's where 'copy' should be, and im constantly clearing my chats | 13:53 |
| bazhang | Nismo6921, help with what | 13:53 |
| jrib | Nismo6921: if we don't the answer, we can't answer :/ | 13:53 |
| sc30317 | jrib, the output of the script now is: | 13:53 |
| sc30317 | jrib, sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 13:53 |
| Nismo6921 | i have no sound on Ubuntu with GTX470 | 13:53 |
| aetas | ionite_, right but was this ever working in ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| sc30317 | jrib, but thats not the output when I run it as my user | 13:53 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: aetas: worsestill additional drivers recommended me to install it. | 13:53 |
| Infernet | ionite_: u need the "current" version of nvidia driver | 13:54 |
| CrusaderAD | Any know of anything different in empathy 3 as opposed to 2.34? | 13:54 |
| sc30317 | CrusaderAD, look at the changelog | 13:54 |
| ionite_ | aetas: what do u mean? | 13:54 |
| ionite_ | Infernet: are u sure? | 13:55 |
| CrusaderAD | sc30317 where is that? | 13:55 |
| Incarus6 | ionite_, he wondered if it was working properly before (and since when/what) | 13:55 |
| safe | What GUI should I install? | 13:55 |
| sc30317 | CrusaderAD, probably on the empathy website | 13:55 |
| sc30317 | 13:55 | |
| Infernet | ionite_: of course | 13:55 |
| sc30317 | jrib, any ideas? | 13:55 |
| Nismo6921 | Please help I love Ubuntu but I dont want a sound issue to be the thing that makes me hate working with it | 13:55 |
| Nismo6921 | GTX470 hdmi out no sound | 13:56 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: before i used additonal driver, it was working properly. | 13:56 |
| ionite_ | Infernet: how do i go about? what does it solves? | 13:56 |
| jrib | sc30317: I guess you have some sort of custom install with this sqlplus thing? | 13:56 |
| sc30317 | jrib, that is correct | 13:56 |
| aetas | ionite_, ok there...what did you do that made it stop working? | 13:56 |
| CrusaderAD | sc30317 their website is garbage, been there, oh well | 13:56 |
| Troy^ | i still dont think i have the proper graphics driver installed because when i move windows arround my screen they sort of jitter. i'm running a mobile hd 5870 | 13:56 |
| fedy | bazhang: thanks it also got alot of other utililies that I was looking for like Ophcrack | 13:56 |
| sc30317 | jrib, it works fine when I invoke the script manually, so I know it isn't a script problem | 13:56 |
| ionite_ | aetas: use addtional driver installation. | 13:56 |
| safe | Anyone? | 13:57 |
| mankeletor_ | hi all | 13:57 |
| tyler_d | what are the default display drivers in ubuntu? | 13:57 |
| Incarus6 | ionite_, so before you enabled that driver in the dialog? | 13:57 |
| jrib | sc30317: pastebin « env » as your user | 13:57 |
| th0r | safe: the one that matches your car | 13:57 |
| aetas | Incarus6, Im assuming the default installed in ubuntu is nouveau? | 13:57 |
| safe | th0r: I don'#t have a car | 13:57 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, I suppose it was using nouveau as default before enabling the proprietary driver | 13:57 |
| aetas | lol | 13:57 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, correct ;) | 13:57 |
| th0r | safe: the gui is a personal choice; no one can tell you what to install | 13:57 |
| aetas | ionite_, yeah lets switch back to nouveau in that case | 13:58 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: i think so. | 13:58 |
| safe | th0r: which one do you think is faster? what does clientos use? | 13:58 |
| sc30317 | jrib, my env: http://paste.ubuntu.com/654512/ | 13:58 |
| Nismo6921 | my gui is gooey | 13:58 |
| ionite_ | aetas: so i go to additional driver and click REMOVE? | 13:58 |
| gorakhargosh | nope. captainjackstraw didn't work. | 13:58 |
| th0r | safe: lxde is probably one of the lightest | 13:58 |
| jrib | sc30317: guess: setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and maybe ORACLE_HOME) the same way in your crontab | 13:58 |
| aetas | ionite_, yeah try that | 13:59 |
| Incarus6 | safe, it isn't called GUI, it is called a desktop environment. There are many environments that doesn't slow down your server | 13:59 |
| safe | th0r: Okay, thanks. How can I make it so you have to enter a command to start the GUI like in backtrack you have to do 'startx' | 13:59 |
| sc30317 | jrib, thanks ill try that H/O | 13:59 |
| Nismo6921 | Nvidia GTX470 hdmi out no sound on Ubuntu 10.10 | 13:59 |

| Nismo6921 | Wols: then tell me how I need to properly word my question so that it will be answered | 14:00 |
| ionite_ | aetas: my banshee makes weird repeating noise whenever my comp lags. | 14:00 |
| Troy^ | hmm | 14:01 |
| wols | Nismo6921: the article I linked tells you how to maximize your chances. but you obviously don't want to read it | 14:01 |
| aetas | ionite_, is this new or an old problem? | 14:01 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, ionite_, we should enable nouveau again | 14:01 |
| Nismo6921 | Wols: im reading it now | 14:01 |
| Troy^ | im having some ubuntu classic(gnome 2) issues seems unstable like i'll get interface freezing :S | 14:01 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, it's an old problem because it is related with the proprietary driver | 14:01 |
| wols | mankeletor_: how can the yhave invalid chars? if they do, how could they exist on the filesystem? | 14:01 |
| gorakhargosh | nevermind. i'll simply run ubuntu in a vm | 14:02 |
| ne2k | jrib: it seems there is a mismatch between the alsa driver version and the library and utilities versions | 14:02 |
| jrib | ne2k: that's weird | 14:02 |
| ne2k | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/166005 | 14:02 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: how should i enable? | 14:02 |
| ionite_ | aetas: it's a lagging problem? which causes these weird noises? how do i updated my sound card driver? | 14:02 |
| aetas | ionite_, one thing at a time...did you remove that driver? | 14:04 |
| Incarus6 | ionite_, just to clarify that: have you downloaded the driver from nvidia.com or have you just enabled it in the additional driver dialog? | 14:04 |
| ionite_ | Incarus6: i did both | 14:04 |
| ionite_ | aetas: Incarus6 let me now restart BRB. | 14:05 |
| mankeletor_ | wols, they are some special spanish characters that looks like this �... and the files was unpacked from a rar archive created in windows (charset ISO-8859-1 i guess) | 14:05 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, I wondered if he really installed the nvidia.com driver because many newbies doesn't know how to do that, ionite_ | 14:05 |
| Nismo6921 | Im trying to enable sound with the use of Alas Mixer but it will not see my GTX470 card. The hdmi output is shown in the audio preferences but neither of which produce sound. I've read a few articles saying I need to discover which device is producing sound. But I do not know how to do this. Can someone please guide me in enabling my sound. Thank you. | 14:06 |
| ne2k | jrib: I'm trying the fix there | 14:06 |
| jkeats | how do i add a "lock" widget to the panel in kde? | 14:08 |
| tyler_d | what is the default display driver in ubuntu called please? | 14:08 |
| sc30317 | jrib, that didn't help | 14:08 |
| aetas | Incarus6, no telling....I just installed nvidia-current instead of the ones off the website. I dont see much of a point in installing those really | 14:08 |
| blkdg | hi, i am using ubuntu 10.10 86 bit and i installed LAMP using aptget for the individual packaged outlined here http://tech.mobiletod.com/how-to-install-lamp-serverapache-mysql-php-on-ubuntu-10-10/ My question is this. when i use aptget purge to remove the packages, it removes php and phpmyadmin and mysql. but apache2 is still running. i can see it from my browser. | 14:09 |
| jrib | sc30317: where is libsqlplus.so located? | 14:09 |
| blkdg | how do i remove apache2 if apt-get purge apache2 dosn't get rid of it? | 14:09 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, Im allways installing the latest (beta and final) drivers from nvidia.com ;) | 14:09 |
| ionite | aetas: Incarus6 i'm back | 14:09 |
| aetas | Incarus6, do you run games? | 14:10 |
| Nismo6921 | wols: i dont know what else to do bro i tried to compose my problem in a neater fashion and yet i still received no assistance | 14:10 |
| ionite | aetas: Incarus6 screen looks great & wonderful. | 14:10 |
| Incarus6 | aetas, of course, and Windows 7 in VirtualBox | 14:10 |
| th0r | blkdg: did you install with apt-get or synaptic? | 14:10 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, speed issue fixed? | 14:10 |
| blkdg | th0r apt-get. | 14:10 |
| aetas | Incarus6, makes a different...this is just my laptop | 14:10 |
| th0r | blkdg: then apt-get should remove it. | 14:11 |
| blkdg | th0r, i also did a full remove using synaptic. | 14:11 |
| th0r | blkdg: what makes you think it isn't uninstalled? | 14:11 |
| safe | th0r: Okay, I've installed lxde how do I activate it? | 14:11 |
| blkdg | th0r, i can get to 127.0.0.1 | 14:11 |
| ionite | Incarus6: significantly though some applications are little slow | 14:11 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, you are now using the open-source driver called "nouveau". It seems to be working better in your case because the nvidia proprietary driver got that speed and flat-panel issue. So you could wheter use the nouveau driver from now or use the nouveau driver 'til this was fixed | 14:12 |
| th0r | safe: at the login screen choose lxde from the Sessions menu. I don't use lxde so I am not sure, but from the command line you might try 'startlxde' ... | 14:12 |
| Nismo6921 | ok then let me ask this is Ubuntu more compatible with an Optical Audio Output that is onboard than an HDMI that is on my video card? | 14:12 |
| ionite | Incarus6: so i guess i can't use the 3d unity then | 14:12 |

| ionite | Incarus6: how do i install the latest java plugin? | 14:13 |
| th0r | blkdg: did you stop apache before uninstalling? | 14:13 |
| blkdg | no | 14:13 |
| Incarus6 | !java | ionite | 14:13 |
| ubottu | ionite: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 14:13 |

| Incarus6 | ionite, can you paste "gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"? | 14:16 |
| herbster | if i use fdisk, the maximum number of partitions of equal size i can create is about 55 | 14:16 |
| Nismo6921 | im done i cant any response from anybody but annoyed moderators | 14:16 |

| Incarus6 | tyler_d, the default driver is nouveau. start jockey, if the priprietary driver isn't enabled you are using nouveau | 14:24 |
| ionite | Incarus6: did i paste correctly for u to see? | 14:25 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: ok, so with nouveau installed, what is the "driver" reference in xorg.conf please? | 14:26 |
| Nismo6921 | blkdg: do you need any additional information? | 14:26 |
| Incarus6 | inoite, the previous issue seems to be fixed, I don't know why your computer is still slow | 14:26 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, forget the hdmi for a sec. do you get audio out of the 1/4 jack? | 14:26 |
| Nismo6921 | oh to be honest I have not tried | 14:26 |
| blkdg | there is no try ;) | 14:27 |
| Nismo6921 | my only speakers are a 5.1 surround sound system | 14:27 |
| blkdg | use headphones | 14:27 |
| Nismo6921 | I can hook them up via optical or hdmi | 14:27 |
| blkdg | whatever | 14:27 |
| Incarus6 | tyler_d, reference? can you paste xorg.conf file? | 14:27 |
| Nismo6921 | should I try optical hook up? | 14:27 |
| ionite | Incarus6: what about my sound card? | 14:27 |
| blkdg | try to get 1/4 inch jack to work. use headphones if you have too. | 14:27 |
| blkdg | to | 14:27 |
| Nismo6921 | for testing purposes or all the time? | 14:28 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, testing. | 14:28 |
| Nismo6921 | cause Id rather not use headphones all the time | 14:28 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, a good solution is allways to just not use something. can you try VLC instead of banshee? | 14:28 |
| blkdg | testing purposes | 14:28 |
| Nismo6921 | unfortunately im not on the system currently with the issue nor am i near it | 14:28 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: http://paste.ubuntu.com/654533/ <--- I only have the one created by nvidia-xconfig as I was trying to use the proprietary driver. I was forced to remove(not use) xorg.conf as a result of this in order to get a gui back | 14:29 |
| === sergio_ is now known as Guest70670 | ||
| ionite | oh.. alright. i tot ubuntu preinstalled software are better. hehe | 14:29 |
| blkdg | ok, then. when you're near it, go to sound prefrences, then unplug any hdmi connections and plug only one thing into the soundcard, a simple speaker or a pair of headphones. trouble shoot from there. | 14:30 |
| ionite | Incarus6: last part. how do i import all my URLs to firefox? | 14:30 |
| Incarus6 | tyler_d, it's the third driver calld nv, it's obsolete. what version of ubuntu are you currently using? | 14:30 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: 11.04 | 14:30 |
| blkdg | i can't help much more than that without you there. | 14:30 |
| Nismo6921 | blkdg: are the most current updates able to handle hdmi output...i may have a bunch of updates that I have not yet installed | 14:30 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, is that another question? and which URLS? | 14:30 |
| ionite | Incarus6: yep | 14:31 |
| ionite | Incarus6: i backed up all my bookmarks from windows using firefox | 14:31 |
| Xethron_ | Hello | 14:32 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, updates are free and easy with *buntu, so yeah, keep system up to date. | 14:32 |
| Incarus6 | tyler_d, correct me if I'm wrong but "nv" doesn't exist in 11.04 anymore. Have you wrote that manually in the file or is it just an old file? | 14:32 |
| Nismo6921 | blkdg: i mean the only other thing I can think of is try using the optical audio output from the motherboard that should be more compatible than the hdmi right? | 14:32 |
| Incarus6 | ionite, how have you backed up them. with an addon or manually? | 14:32 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: flying by the seat of my pants, I believe you are correct. what should that read please? | 14:32 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, my hdmi audio works well, but occasionally i have to remember to force shut off the sound adaptor in my soundprefrences. | 14:33 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, no. i think the opposite. | 14:33 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: p.s. manually configured | 14:33 |
| Nismo6921 | wait what? | 14:33 |
| Nismo6921 | what sound adaptor | 14:33 |
| Nismo6921 | maybe thats why mine does work | 14:33 |
| blkdg | Nismo6921, i think that hdmi sound support will come faster than digital audio out | 14:33 |
| Nismo6921 | not* | 14:33 |
| Incarus6 | tyler_d, why have you wrote "nv" in the file? Are you using old documentaries? | 14:33 |
| Nismo6921 | what adaptor are you disabling | 14:34 |

| prezident | lmao | 14:36 |
| Nismo6921 | now that you mention that i think i read that somewhere that all other audio options have to be disabled before the hdmi works | 14:36 |
| Nismo6921 | i dont why i didnt even think to try it ill do that when i get back home | 14:37 |
| Nismo6921 | thanks blkdg! | 14:37 |

| Incarus6 | tyler_d, no, jockey is preinstalled, it should be called "Additional Driver" in the menu (or similar) | 14:42 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: sorry, which menu are you refering to ? | 14:43 |
| blkdg | do you mean cape? | 14:43 |

| ThinkT510 | tyler_d: either nouveau or nvidia, depending on what you have installed | 14:50 |
| Incarus6 | tyler_d, nv is dead. Usually "nvidia-current", its the priprietary driver | 14:50 |
| tyler_d | Incarus6: that. is fantastic, tyvm guys | 14:50 |
| ThinkT510 | stevethepirate: why would you want to do that? | 14:50 |

| cdauth | i need to install a recent version of apache on an old ubuntu 8.04 lts. what is the usual technique for this? look for a deb file on the internet? use a deb file from a newer ubuntu version? compile it myself? | 15:18 |
| rww | anoob: I have an HD 3450. It works fine. | 15:18 |
| NotreDev | well now i have (0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded) | 15:18 |
| wols | cdauth: backport. you get the _sources_ of the package you want to backport from a newer ubuntu version and build a package from that and install it via dpkg -i | 15:18 |
| wols | cdauth: using a newer package will simply destroy your 8.04 LTS | 15:19 |
| wols | cdauth: but in this case I strongly suggest an upgrade to 10.04 at least | 15:19 |
| ruser | wols: ne2k thanks guys, the problem was i forgot to install ia32 libs | 15:19 |
| sandyd | cdauth: you will have to compile it yourself if there are no newer packages on the net | 15:19 |
| anoob | rww, what's fine? do you have to do any manual work to get it working? | 15:20 |
| rww | anoob: no | 15:20 |
| Troy^ | empathy keeps giving me network errors hmm | 15:20 |
| anoob | can you play games with wine rww? which games? | 15:20 |
| ruser | cdauth: you could try palying around with pinning | 15:20 |
| dr_willis | anoob: a great many games work with wine. see the wine app database. | 15:20 |
| rww | anoob: The only 3D accelerated game I play is Minecraft. It works with the default driver, and works better with fglrx. | 15:20 |
| cdauth | okay, that’s enough information to start. thanks everyone ;-) | 15:20 |
| wols | ruser: no he could not. pinning is a great way to kill the install | 15:21 |
| wols | cdauth: please ignore ruser | 15:21 |
| delinquentme | how to run a continuous ping command .. every 5 second ? | 15:21 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: pint has options for that.. | 15:21 |
| ruser | wols: please explain? | 15:21 |
| dr_willis | delinquentme: or write a little script. | 15:21 |
| anoob | which driver is the default rww? | 15:21 |
| rww | anoob: it's called "radeon" | 15:22 |
| wols | ruser: pinning is 99% of the time a very very bad idea. and you never want to mix packages from different versions, which is what pinning would do in this case | 15:22 |
| anoob | rww, thank you very much | 15:22 |
| wols | delinquentme: man ping. look at the "-c" option | 15:22 |
| oCean | delinquentme: ping -c -i 5 | 15:22 |
| delinquentme | yeah i was doing it right ... loosk like AWS blocks pings .. meh! | 15:23 |
| ruser | wols: fair enough. however the way i see it, if the package is super small with minimal dependencies, pinning works ok, as long as you are agnostic of what you are doing | 15:23 |
| wols | ruser: "agnostic of what you are doing" == "if you don't care what you are doing" fyi | 15:23 |
| anoob | rww, isn't radeon about ati cards? | 15:23 |
| oCean | delinquentme: actually ping -c 20 -i 5 will give a sequence of 20 pings, with interval of 5 seconds | 15:24 |
| oCean | delinquentme: oh, didn't see your last post, nvm | 15:24 |
| wols | ruser: and apache is not small. a script which is available for architecture "all" is fine with pinning usually. a binary, especially like apache, is not | 15:24 |
| rww | anoob: oh, crap, you said Intel. Sorry, I read HD 3xxx and assumed ATI. Is Intel using that versioning now too? | 15:24 |
| ikonia | rww: only for sound | 15:24 |
| rww | :| | 15:24 |
| wols | ikonia: huh? | 15:24 |
| ruser | wols: point taken on apache. | 15:24 |
| ikonia | wols: are there now intel video cards with HD as the reference | 15:25 |
| ruser | wols: anyhow thanks for the troubleshooting :) | 15:25 |
| wols | ikonia: yes. since the GMA4500 HD | 15:25 |
| ikonia | ahhh that's not HD* that's *HD | 15:25 |
| wols | which was around 3 years ago. newer cards are named GMA HD for first gen core i, and HD200 HD 3000 for 2nd gen core i | 15:25 |
| wols | *HD 2000 | 15:26 |
| ikonia | I still reference the GMA | 15:26 |
| wols | not in the latest ones. there it's called simply HD 3000 | 15:26 |
| cba123 | I've been trying different file index searchers, but tracker, beagle and google desktop don't seem to search everything I have. Are there any alternatives? | 15:26 |
| anoob | no problem | 15:27 |
| ikonia | wols: certainly not seen them | 15:27 |
| anoob | no problem rww | 15:27 |
| wols | ikonia: intel marketing dept is very sorry to hear that. all those billions spent in vain :( | 15:28 |
| ikonia | wols: I am a hard sell | 15:28 |
| wols | that's why they packaged it into the cpu: so you have to buy it if you buy a cpu, no matter what. sly buggers these intel guys | 15:29 |

| rww | !root | wrtiii | 16:11 |
| ubottu | wrtiii: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:11 |

| natty-user | @wrtiii: i've got the same sort of ubuntu installation problem on a pc, still haven't managed to fix it. | 16:14 |
| Algorith | protection obviously... | 16:14 |
| maco | reaper: to allow the root user to login. but if you do that, then all your apps are running as root, making you nicely ownable | 16:14 |
| rww | ne2k: There is no point in doing that. | 16:14 |
| wrtiii | lol | 16:14 |
| wrtiii | why is everyone so afraid of root? | 16:15 |

| ne2k | sktn07: do you have universe enabled? | 16:15 |
| girl | hilikus:Graphics performace in OK but slower than natty and some KDE effects make it really slow, they worked fine on maverick | 16:15 |
| hilikus | root = admin | 16:15 |
| juemo | This is a pretty simple class c network: router, laptop, server. dhcp request from the server to the routeur are ok, but all other never pass through the mac resolution | 16:15 |
| reaper | got cha | 16:15 |
| maco | wrtiii: because running as admin all the time is how win95 got to be a hotbed of malware | 16:16 |
| rww | and 98, and ME, and XP... | 16:16 |
| sktn07 | ne2k : probably not...how to check | 16:16 |
| ne2k | rww: do not tar XP with the same brush as ME! | 16:16 |
| reaper | I could see it being useful if you were the only 1 that uses the machine and wasnt online much | 16:16 |
| ne2k | rww: XP was a solid OS, particularly once it reached SP2, because it was NT-based. 95/98/ME were still DOS-based | 16:16 |
| hilikus | is this a linux channel or what? How can people not know what root is? :S | 16:16 |
| rww | ne2k: They share the issue of being easier to exploit if you're running as an administrative user, which they use by default. | 16:16 |
| wrtiii | how the hell are you supposed to efficiently preform administrative tasks without using root | 16:17 |
| Algorith | more like only if it never goes online and you always know exactly what you're doing | 16:17 |

| mang0 | plustax: no | 16:34 |
| roasted | plustax, no, installing Windows takes care of installing the Windows boot loader. | 16:34 |
| plustax | I dont know how to boot to the windows cd | 16:34 |
| mang0 | Only if you're having ubuntu as well | 16:34 |
| roasted | plustax, do you have a dell? | 16:34 |
| wols | plustax: windows does this by default on its own | 16:34 |
| mang0 | plustax: put the cd in. reboot | 16:34 |

| redmarv | guys? have you used ocrad or gocr or tesseract on ubuntu? | 16:35 |
| redmarv | I need advice... | 16:35 |
| redmarv | uhm I mean help | 16:35 |
| wols | redmarv: ask your real question | 16:35 |
| mang0 | Right guys, I'm setting up a blog with blogger. I've found a theme that I like, but I need to edit it. I know basic HTML, but I'd quite like to edit it graphically as well as the raw code. Is there a program that I can edit it with? Like, with clicking and dragging, and also with re-writing code.... | 16:36 |
| mang0 | (for ubuntu, of course) | 16:36 |
| tyler_d | if anyone would please help me with a PCI bus address here are the details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/654610/ | 16:36 |
| wols | tyler_d: I'm still waiting for an answer btw | 16:36 |
| redmarv | so, if I use one of those software with an image created with gimp (with some numbers) they recognize it very well, finding the right chars in it, but i I use an image from a cam (mobile phone camera) it doens't work... | 16:37 |
| tyler_d | wols: what was the question again please | 16:37 |
| wols | tyler_d: nvm. what drivers do you intend to use? | 16:38 |
| tyler_d | wols: I would like to use the proprietary nvidia drivers | 16:38 |
| wols | tyler_d: with optimus? | 16:38 |
| tyler_d | wols: sorry, what is optimus? | 16:39 |
| wols | tyler_d: if you use the proprietary nvidia drivers, run nvidia-xconfig (IIRC) and you're done | 16:39 |
| wols | tyler_d:no need for Bus ID | 16:39 |
| Eighteens | i just updated my ubuntu 10.04 lucid, and after reboot, my sound icon is muted, and WONT un-mute, and it shows no hardware installed, can somone help me | 16:39 |
| redmarv | wols: that was my real question :P | 16:40 |
| wols | redmarv: no it was not | 16:40 |
| tyler_d | wols: unfortunately no, as xorg grabs the first pci bus it finds the nvidia in this laptop is on a lower pci bus and therefor needs to be hard-coded | 16:40 |
| tyler_d | wols: I have attempted that, and many variations of that | 16:40 |
| wols | tyler_d: you put in "nvidia" into your xorg.conf and it will grab that | 16:40 |
| wols | tyler_d: and your Xorg.0.log clearly shows how the busid needs to look | 16:41 |
| tyler_d | wols: no it does not. maybe it is supposed to.. | 16:41 |
| redmarv | wols: ehm, wanted to know if there is a reason for this. Pics from camera don't work with gocr ocrad or similar software/ | 16:41 |
| shinkamui | how do I start the installer in text mode on 10.10 and above | 16:41 |
| ikonia | shinkamui: you use the alternative CD for that | 16:41 |
| tyler_d | wols: that is how it was set the last time I booted, the star beside the bus from Xorg.0.log indicates the card it tried to load | 16:41 |
| wols | redmarv: "real question" was in response to "anyone use X" you asked. that is never the real question but a waste of time of others | 16:42 |
| shinkamui | ikonia, this isn't a standard ubuntu disk, whats the command line command tos tart the text installer normally | 16:42 |
| ikonia | shinkamui: sorry, we don't support non-standard ubuntu installers | 16:42 |
| wols | tyler_d: can you paste your xorg.conf and your Xorg.0.log output for it. I think you rather have a mux problem, since you have an Optimus enabled laptop | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | shinkamui, alternate? | 16:42 |

| redmarv | wols: man I'm not using X, I'm working remote via ssh if you want to know, so, I asked only if anyone knows if there are some particular condition to have those software working well with pics from a camera. just this | 16:43 |
| redmarv | ah | 16:44 |
| pingveno | Is there any lovely, wonderful place to get python2.7 packages for Ubuntu versions 10.04 and 10.10? | 16:44 |
| wols | tyler_d: that's not what I asked for at all and I don't troubleshoot nvidia.run installers which break things all the time | 16:44 |
| redmarv | X was not x.org... btw I wrote down the real one later... | 16:44 |
| ikonia | pingveno: no | 16:44 |

| Eighteens | what would cause ubuntu to not see my sound card after a year of having it working, after update, and reboot, no sound anymore | 16:47 |
| tyler_d | wols: to clarify as well, the only way I could get an xorg.conf file was to use the nvidia-xorg command, hence the comment at the top of xorg.conf | 16:47 |
| wols | tyler_d: that is the proper command for nvidia proprietary drivers | 16:48 |
| tyler_d | wols: ok. | 16:48 |
| Spikestuff | Is there a way to install Fedora Linux using Ubuntu, possibly by using apt-get or some other method? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | shinkamui: no | 16:48 |
| Troy^ | Spikestuff: no, you need to install fedora similiar to the way you did ubuntu | 16:49 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: no | 16:49 |
| TheTongue | Qemu / Virtual Box | 16:49 |
| wols | tyler_d: cat /sys/http://paste.ubuntu.com/654616/ | 16:49 |
| ikonia | TheTongue: read what he asked | 16:49 |
| wols | tyler_d: cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch | 16:49 |
| Troy^ | hmm i have 12,000 songs and banshee doesnt seem to really like it | 16:50 |
| Troy^ | i cant seem to play songs in it because its always trying to download album cover art | 16:50 |
| Spikestuff | Actually ikonia, TheTongue is correct... it is possible to use VirtualBox and qemu to create a virtual image from Ubuntu and via a Live CD to bypass certain things that the Live CD requires, such as a RAM requirement... | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: sorry, no it's not | 16:50 |
| Spikestuff | ikonia: http://dcr226.co.uk/blog/?p=87 | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: that is not installing fedora using ubuntu, that is using a virtual machine | 16:50 |
| Spikestuff | It's through Ubuntu if you're running the VM on Ubuntu. :> | 16:51 |
| Troy^ | doh! | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: no, it's not | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: hence why you asked like using "apt-get" the answer is "no" | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: if you question is can you install Fedora in blank virtual machine, yes, you can | 16:51 |
| Spikestuff | I am off that subject now, I am just telling you that TheTongue is correct. :) | 16:51 |
| TheTongue | Thanks you Spikestuff :) , but I didn't read any other lines above what he said | 16:52 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: and I'm telling you he's not, or your question was incorrect | 16:52 |
| Troy^ | any suggestions for mp3 player? banshee doesnt like my huge library | 16:52 |
| Spikestuff | How can a question be incorrect? :o | 16:52 |

| TheTongue | then use a chroot jail, but thats not 100% safe | 16:52 |
| ikonia | Spikestuff: you asked can you install fedora using ubuntu - no you cannot, ubuntu is a self contained operating system | 16:52 |
| wols | ikonia: isn't there something like debootstrap for fedora? | 16:53 |
| tyler_d | wols: unsure which file you would like. | 16:53 |

| tyler_d | wols: not yet, your helping me and I didn't want to throw a wrench in it. however thought it note-worthy and possibly worth a try | 17:09 |
| wols | tyler_d:also, google for your laptop model and "Linux" | 17:09 |
| wols | tyler_d: it is worth a try and you should try it | 17:09 |

| chocolates | how do i get steam to work on 10.10? | 17:12 |
| wols | tyler_d: I suggest you set it to "discrete" in BIOS and check the Xorg.0.log. you can always install irssi in text mode and come here to get help debugging the problem too | 17:12 |
| wols | tyler_d: what do you need the nvidia card for? the intel is fine for most stuff, no? no 3D but a lot less battery usage | 17:13 |
| tyler_d | wols: I will give that another try, I did try it before with poor results however. and no x-loading either | 17:13 |
| wols | chocolates: install wine, run it in wine. | 17:13 |
| reaper | steam.. did't even think thatwas possible | 17:13 |
| wols | tyler_d: it doesn't matter if X loads then. just save you Xorg.0.log when it doens#t run so we can look at it :) | 17:13 |
| tyler_d | wols: as of right now even the default won't load with unity :( and it did before all this garbage started | 17:13 |
| wols | tyler_d: you installed nvidia proprietary drivers therefore killing your mesa. and you installed it via nvidia.com drivers which is stupid to do | 17:14 |
| tyler_d | wols: not overtly impressed at this point. you would think an app that builds from source would have its bits and bobs together | 17:15 |

I am trying to update my wife's Natty desktop but when I do I get several error messages that look like - W: Failed to fetch http://us.sudo/dists/wget/universe/i18n/Index No Hash entry in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.sudo_dists_wget_universe_i18n_Index | 17:24 |
| Xpistos | not sure what is wrong. I am in the CLI and it using sudo apt-get update | 17:25 |
| tyler_d | __sorin__: sorry, not a clue :( | 17:25 |
| ActionParsnip | antlong: my guess is scoll/caps/numlock indicator | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: thats an external repo that's nothing to do with ubuntu | 17:25 |
| __sorin__ | tyler_d: I noticed when you suggest CTRL+D. | 17:26 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: it also appears to not be an valid fully qualified domain | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Lulu: why are you hitting enter after every 3 words? | 17:26 |
| tyler_d | __sorin__: ssh escape sequence is ~ .... thats as far as I go :P | 17:26 |
| juemo | ne2k: excuse me for the long wait. I am connect to the server with static adress on another interface. No wireless connexion are enabled. | 17:27 |
| tyler_d | __sorin__: sorry, not true, screen escape sequence is ctrl+a, esc | 17:27 |
| Nebula | Hey everyone, is there any way to upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 11.04? | 17:27 |
| ikonia | !upgrade | Nebula | 17:27 |
| ubottu | Nebula: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:27 |
| Xpistos | ikonia: what about this - Get:27 http://us.sudo wget/universe TranslationIndex | 17:27 |
| Xpistos | Err http://us.sudo wget/http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release i386 Packages | 17:27 |
| Xpistos | Undetermined Error | 17:27 |
| Xpistos | Sorry | 17:27 |
| lulu | sory, bad habit | 17:27 |
| lulu | sorry* | 17:27 |
| wols | tyler_d: reinstall mesa for starters | 17:27 |
| Nebula | ikonia, does that really work for LTS to a normal version? | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: first one is not a valid fully qualified domain, second is a repository that's nothing to do with #ubuntu, | 17:28 |
| wols | tyler_d: and later if you want to, reinstall nvidia drivers. this time from the ubuntu repos | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Nebula: have you read the url ? | 17:28 |
| tyler_d | wols: what package is mesa specifically :( | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Lulu: indeed, i did say use one line. You didn't even explain your issue | 17:28 |
| Nebula | ikonia, im opening them now.... but i did a google on it before i came in here :D | 17:28 |
| wayne | ok this is my first time on here | 17:28 |
| wols | tyler_d: dpkg -l |grep mesa. reinstall them all | 17:28 |
| ikonia | Nebula: how about reading the URL then | 17:28 |
| Troy^ | there got my built-in subwoofer on laptop to work | 17:29 |
| Nebula | ikonia, yeah im on it :P | 17:29 |
| lulu | don't know how to explain when i click on the icon to connect it takes forever | 17:29 |
| lulu | and it doen't connect | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Lulu: all we currently know is there is a password involved and you took all those lines. | 17:29 |
| lulu | asking again and again the pw (that o enter right) | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Lulu: so its a WIRELESS issue? | 17:30 |
| lulu | it's not the pw | 17:30 |
| wayne | alright, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on my fujitsu lifebook t 4215 and my battery life indicator says six hours but it really is only about 2 hrs what is wrong? | 17:30 |
| lulu | it's a wireless issue | 17:30 |
| lulu | YES | 17:30 |
| lulu | as i wrote | 17:30 |
| lulu | first line | 17:30 |
| FloodBot1 | lulu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:30 |
| gizmobay | How can I allow a user to run this command without sudo? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:30 |
| lulu | of those many line | 17:30 |
| hilikus | lulu: are other computers able to connect to the wireless? | 17:30 |
| lulu | yes | 17:30 |
| tyler_d | wols: dpkg -l |grep mesa | awk '{ print $2}' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Lulu: then why not say that? Why was that not part of your details? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: you don't you give them sudo access to that command | 17:31 |
| gizmobay | You mean add them to the sudo'ers file | 17:31 |
| gizmobay | the command that is? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: I mean create a sudo rule for them , that will only allow them to run that command | 17:31 |
| Nebula | yeah, got it, thanks ikonia.... and /facedesk for me since it was just a setting that needed change... :P | 17:32 |
| tyler_d | wols: tyvm for your help. I'm going to bounce this and see how she goes | 17:32 |
| wayne | can someone help me with my problem please | 17:32 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: that option will be set in the /etc/sudoers file using the command visudo | 17:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: i recommend you remove the ppa you added so it is smooth then readd it properly | 17:32 |
| gizmobay | ikonia: this still means I need to use the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 17:33 |
| gizmobay | I can't have sudo | 17:33 |
| Xpistos | I havent' added a ppa in the last 6 months that I know of | 17:33 |
| fVckingmania | alguien que me pueda ayudar con un parche en el kernel!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: why ? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: no-one said you have | 17:33 |
| UbuntuFan | guys, how can I enable desktop icons on Ubuntu Netbook Remix? | 17:34 |
| Xpistos | ActionParsnip: Xpistos: i recommend you remove the ppa you added so it is smooth then readd it properly | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: looks like you tried to add the medibuntu repo but either botched the command or pasted the command in sources.list which is incorrect | 17:34 |
| fVckingmania | hi I need help with my kernel!! | 17:34 |
| Technicus | Is it possible to install glibc? | 17:34 |
| vlt | !dedatils | fVckingmania | 17:35 |
| ikonia | fVckingmania: then ask a question | 17:35 |
| ikonia | Technicus: it'e already installed, it's the most important library on your system | 17:35 |
| shoenig | Technicus, i would certainly hope so | 17:35 |
| * vlt fail | 17:35 | |
| Xpistos | ActionParsnip: This started happening on monday and I add medibuntu to her computer when I installed it in April | 17:35 |
| UbuntuFan | googles not helping, the alt-f2 doesnt work to open the run window | 17:35 |
| fVckingmania | can any one tell me how too list all patch charged to my kernel?? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntufan: there is no netbook remix these days | 17:35 |
| gizmobay | ikonia: My problem is I need the comand to restart my wifi since it goes down. I have a script and cron to check. The problem is without a network sudo doesn't work as it says host not found. | 17:35 |
| ikonia | fVckingmania: you can't, it's a precompiled binary | 17:35 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: then your machine is setup incorrectly | 17:36 |
| UbuntuFan | so you wont help? | 17:36 |
| Technicus | ikonia: How do I check to see that it is insatlled? | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: back out the change you made | 17:36 |
| ikonia | Technicus: does your ubuntu machine boot | 17:36 |
| vlt | fVckingmania: You can install linux-source packages and read ;-) | 17:36 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: what version (exactly) of ubuntu are you using | 17:36 |
| gizmobay | 10.04 | 17:36 |
| === UbuntuFan is now known as ubuntuuser | ||
| ikonia | gizmobay: please paste your /etc/hosts file | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntufan: do you have a desktop with a top bar and icons down the left? | 17:37 |
| Xpistos | ActionParsnip: I didn't make any changes | 17:37 |
| fVckingmania | ikonia, I compile the kernel 2.6.39.3 and I add a patch, how can I know if it's charged?? | 17:37 |
| ikonia | fVckingmania: if you're compiling kernels, you should know what you're doing, we don't support your custom kernels in this channel | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: you must have, medibuntu is not a default repo | 17:38 |
| Tigerboy | anyone mind giving me the ifconfig and route commands to get networking working in recovery mode...or if there is a better way. | 17:38 |
| Technicus | ikonia: From what I am learning Ubuntu uses eglibc which is a fork of glibc: [ http://www.eglibc.org/faq ]. I don't totally understand what it is though. | 17:38 |
| juemo | Hi pals ! My server do not respond to ARP requests. Anyone got an idea ? Details here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/654640/ | 17:38 |
| newb | can you increase the wifi recieve strength in a laptop? | 17:38 |
| gizmobay | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/g4nQJvNe | 17:38 |
| ubuntuuseronlyju | yeah i have the icons down the right side | 17:38 |
| ikonia | Technicus: correct, but it is your libc library, so it's installed if your machine boots | 17:38 |
| Xpistos | ActionParsnip: I have not added anything new on this computer since I installed it in April except gprename | 17:38 |
| Xpistos | and that was 2 weeks ago | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Tigerboy: sudo dhclient eth0 assuming you use wired connection | 17:39 |
| gardnan | ok, as a poll, how many people are currently using a GUI/Desktop Environment? | 17:39 |
| === ubuntuuseronlyju is now known as UbuntuFan | ||
| ikonia | gizmobay: please show me the ouptut of the command "hostname" | 17:39 |
| ikonia | gardnan: please don't take polls in here | 17:39 |
| gardnan | oh sorry | 17:39 |
| fVckingmania | ikonia, any idea? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | fVckingmania: totally, and I've just told you that we do not support your custom kernels in here | 17:39 |
| tapple | is there a way to install ubuntu packages in your home directory without root access? I need to install trickle on a research cluster running ubuntu x64 | 17:39 |
| ikonia | tapple: not using the package manager | 17:39 |
| gizmobay | john-desktop | 17:39 |
| Technicus | Technicus: Well . . . ok, thanks :) | 17:40 |
| noc | seen madara` | 17:40 |
| tapple | ikonia: didn't think so. thanks | 17:40 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: ok, so what happens if you try to use sudo | 17:40 |
| ikonia | noc: the bot does not have a seen function | 17:40 |
| noc | !seen madara` | 17:40 |
| ubottu | I have no seen command | 17:40 |
| tapple | how do I tell which versions of gcc are installed? I need gcc3 to compile the package from source | 17:40 |
| gizmobay | with network, it works, without i get a host not found | 17:40 |
| ikonia | tapple: gcc -v | 17:40 |
| rullie | hi, is there a place where I can find prebuilt debs of like.. everything? | 17:40 |
| rullie | synaptics is giving me dwm 5.7, but i want 5.9 | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: you must have. You can use software centre to remove it, or if you can pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list we may see the issue | 17:41 |
| ikonia | gizmobay: that shouldn't be the case as yout hostname is mapped to 127.0.0.1 which is localhost | 17:41 |
| gizmobay | *unable to resolve host I mean | 17:41 |
| fVckingmania | ikonia, I didn't customize the kernel I just add a patch!! | 17:41 |
| Tigerboy | rullie: getdeb.net | 17:41 |
| Technicus | ikonia: Is it possible to switch the system from eglibc to glibc? | 17:41 |
| ikonia | fVckingmania: that is a custom kernel then | 17:41 |
| tapple | that only shows the default gcc version | 17:41 |
| ikonia | Technicus: that is not something you want to do, switching libc versions in any way shape or form is not advised | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | rullie | 17:41 |
| ubottu | rullie: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa | 17:41 |
| fVckingmania | ikonia, yes you're rigth | 17:41 |
| ikonia | tapple: then look in the package manager for other versions installed | 17:41 |
| tapple | I thought linux systems usually had several gcc versions installed | 17:41 |
| chocolates | Does mono work on ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| Technicus | ikonia: How come that is the case? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | tapple: no, they do not | 17:42 |
| PatrickC | i just installed chromium | 17:42 |
| PatrickC | but i dont know where to find it | 17:42 |
| PatrickC | how do i launch it? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | Technicus: because it's a core library that everything is built against, changing it will stop things working | 17:42 |
| Technicus | ikonia: Ok then. | 17:42 |
| Tigerboy | tapple: yes but there is a default gcc usually the gcc which the kernel was built with.. | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | PatrickC: press ALT+F2 and run: chromium-browser | 17:43 |
| tapple | hmm. well, my gentoo system had 4 gcc versions installed | 17:43 |
| ikonia | tapple: because you installed 4 versions | 17:43 |
| rullie | Tigerboy, ubottu they failed | 17:43 |
| ikonia | chocolates: yes | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Tapple: its a different distro. | 17:43 |
| Tigerboy | rullie: failed what?\ | 17:43 |
| PatrickC | ActionParsnip, thanks! | 17:44 |
| Tigerboy | any distro can have multiple gcc's on it | 17:44 |
| rullie | Tigerboy: they don't have dwm | 17:44 |
| Tigerboy | rullie: I bet they have it somewhere | 17:44 |
| tapple | ok. thanks | 17:44 |
| Tigerboy | rullie: you can always try to find the source and compile it on your system | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ParkerR: welcome to a better browser ;-) | 17:44 |
| rullie | Tigerboy: yeah, don't have X11 | 17:45 |
| rullie | X11 libs | 17:46 |
| Tigerboy | rullie: you have to install all the libs needed by the source code. | 17:47 |
| Tigerboy | it will tell you what is missing | 17:47 |
| Tigerboy | it took me a while to compile bzflag's latest version | 17:48 |
| Xpistos | http://pastebin.com/ceMLUM0a | 17:48 |
| lulu | ok, sorry agan...i'll be brief: got a prob with the wifi, it seems the pw is wrong even if i checked it was right; this doen't happen with other computers. I read some threads and it seems it's a prob that came with the upgrade to 11.04 | 17:48 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: line 15 | 17:49 |
| lulu | solutions posted in the threads don't fix my problem | 17:49 |

| StepNjump_ | Hi guys, yesterday I received an update from Ubuntu that caused my system to load up only in low graphics mode. I know there is no such thing as a system restore in Ubuntu. How could I possibly automatically repair the damage that this update caused? | 18:00 |
| mang0 | I'm trying to get artisteer to work with wine. it's supposed to, but apparatnly I need to do some terminal stuff. I need to do the command "sh winetricks" but when I try it says: Can't open winetricks" why is this? | 18:00 |
| Xpistos | I deleted the files in it ran update and they are the sources.list.d folder is gone now | 18:00 |
| maccam94 | is there a way to prevent fsck from running from grub? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | StepNjump_: you need to figure out what has happened and fix it | 18:00 |
| Xpistos | is that ok? | 18:00 |
| spyzer | what is the easiest method with GUI which can try to reapir a hard disk | 18:00 |

| yawnie | hi guys | 18:01 |
| ikonia | spyzer: what's the problem with it ? | 18:01 |
| yawnie | anyone experienced issues booting ubuntu from usb flash drive on acer computers? | 18:01 |
| ikonia | mang0: #winehq for wine support | 18:01 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip, hi. could i ask you a question? | 18:01 |
| mang0 | ah okay | 18:01 |
| spyzer | ikonia, some bad blocks are detected | 18:01 |
| ikonia | yawnie: why don't you just ask the real question | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | yawnie: many times | 18:01 |
| ikonia | spyzer: look at the badblocks program | 18:01 |
| dscorzoni | yawnie, how did you create de usb flash drive with ubuntu? | 18:01 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump_: wassup? | 18:02 |
| yawnie | i didnt, im on windows atm, trying to make bootable flash disk using unetbootin | 18:02 |
| dscorzoni | yawnie, I had problems with unetbootin... try to use the program recommended in the Ubuntu Download page... | 18:02 |
| spyzer | ikonia, but badblocks only checks the bad blocks who can try to repair those? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | yawnie: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? | 18:02 |
| yawnie | oh, md5 sounds like a good idea | 18:03 |
| yawnie | dscorzoni: ill also try your hint, thankies | 18:03 |
| ikonia | spyzer: read the docs on badblocks it can try to resolve the issue | 18:03 |

| Fjorgynn | how do I have dual monitors in xubuntu? | 18:04 |
| Fjorgynn | it says only "mirror" | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Fjorgynn: which video chip do you have? | 18:04 |
| StepNjump_ | Hi actionparsnip. You might be the only one that might help me here.... Listen, yesterday after I downloaded the latest automatic updates from ubuntu, my computer lost it`s audio and when I attempted to shut down, it wouldn`t even shut down normally. Maybe it was still installing. I don`t know. So I went to the terminal and performed a shutdown -r now and even THEN, it wouldn`t shutdown properly. When I rebooted, I got a message e | 18:05 |
| Fjorgynn | ActionParsnip: nvidia | 18:05 |
| Fjorgynn | nvidia gforce GT 330M | 18:05 |
| mynameisdeleted | foudn a happy root image to try | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Fjorgynn: did you install nvidia-current ? | 18:05 |
| Fjorgynn | nah, not yet | 18:06 |
| Fjorgynn | only tried in live cd so far | 18:06 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip it wouldn`t allow me to boot up in high graphics mode. I have a feeling it`s more than my graphics video driver the problem but I could be wrong. I am running a Acer netbook with on-board Intel video card | 18:06 |
| Xpistos | ikonia: That appears to have done the trick thank you | 18:06 |
| ikonia | Xpistos: no problem | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump_: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait a little while then try a sound app like play an mp3 etc | 18:07 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip: I tried to boot up with previous version, tried a fsck, tried to blacklist the acer-wmi driver in blacklist.conf | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Xpistos: what was the magic bullet? | 18:08 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip yes but is this all caused by a sound driver? | 18:08 |
| Fjorgynn | :) | 18:09 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip that I won`t boot up? | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Fjorgynn: nvidia-current will give the driver you need. Restart X and it will be activated. | 18:10 |
| Fjorgynn | okay | 18:10 |
| Fjorgynn | so if I just plugin my second screen it will show up? | 18:10 |
| reaper | how do you get to the preferences on natty? | 18:10 |
| Fjorgynn | reaper: unity? | 18:10 |
| reaper | ubuntu | 18:11 |
| DDANTAS | I bought one Ez-TV ISDB t device and i don't how to install it. | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump_: when you see the boot screen press Esc and you'll ser the boot messages | 18:11 |
| DDANTAS | i use the ubuntu 1.04 | 18:11 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip: anything equivalent command for updating the intel video drivers like the nvidia? | 18:11 |
| reaper | I want to turn off the screen saver so it stops locking the screen. | 18:11 |
| === reaper is now known as Reaper | ||
| wildc4rd | evenin all! | 18:11 |
| StepNjump_ | Ok, let me try actionparsnip | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Fjorgynn: you can then run: nvidia-settings and configure the display as you wish | 18:12 |
| Fjorgynn | :D | 18:12 |
| Fjorgynn | thanks! | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | DDANTAS: how does it connect to the system? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Fjorgynn: nvidia loves Linux | 18:13 |
| Fjorgynn | :) | 18:13 |
| Reaper | Is there a way to adjust the screensaver on this? | 18:14 |
| StepNjump_ | actionparsnip, I can`t wait for ubuntu to come up with an equivalent to sysrest | 18:14 |
| Fjorgynn | Reaper: in settings | 18:14 |
| Reaper | how do I get to the settings? | 18:14 |
| Fjorgynn | dunno :D | 18:14 |
| Fjorgynn | I am not using unity | 18:14 |
| Reaper | lol | 18:14 |
| Fjorgynn | xfce <3 | 18:14 |
| Fjorgynn | but type "settings" | 18:15 |
| Fjorgynn | or something | 18:15 |
| Reaper | ahh im using natty | 18:15 |

| Reaper | what's that? | 18:16 |
| Travis-42 | Unity/Ubuntu 11.04 is very very slow for things like moving windows and switching workspaces. I have a very fast computer and it has never been this slow before. Any ways to get this working better? | 18:16 |
| alucardromero-w | Travis-42, do you have the graphic drivers installed (Nvidia/ATI)? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DDANTAS: ok then run: lsusb one line will identify the device and you can use the 8 character hex id to find guides | 18:17 |
| Travis-42 | alucardromero-w, yea | 18:17 |
| alucardromero-w | Which GPU do you have? | 18:17 |
| Travis-42 | alucardromero-w, I have the nvidia drivers installed | 18:17 |

| Fjorgynn | Reaper: xfce is the main desktop envorinment in Xubuntu | 18:17 |
| Fjorgynn | that's the difference | 18:17 |
| Fjorgynn | and some programs | 18:17 |
| Fjorgynn | but it's the same system | 18:17 |
| alucardromero-w | Travis-42, sorry i couldn't help. | 18:18 |

| dury | DVD RW SONY AD-5260S-0B SATA doesn't mount or doesn't appear in Natty | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Reaper: ubuntu is based on gnome. Xubuntu is based on xfce, so saying you use Natty doesn't tell us your desktop environment ;) | 18:18 |
| Reaper | ahh got cha | 18:18 |
| dury | Places or computer doesn't appear that device | 18:18 |
| Reaper | 1 sec ill check it out | 18:18 |
| Travis-42 | it's a 9800gtx+. Not that fastest anymore, but seems like it should be fast enough to resize or move a window... | 18:19 |

| mokti_ | Hey, I had a quick question | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mokti_: ask away | 18:22 |
| mokti_ | Does anyone know why there is no C Shell in ubuntu by default | 18:22 |
| Travis-42 | ActionParsnip, yea... there's clearly some issue... frustrating how slow basic tasks have become since upgrading :-/ | 18:22 |
| tiago | i get this issue when trying to ssh Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). | 18:22 |
| tiago | any ideas what is causing this? | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mokti_: do you mean use csh instead of bash? | 18:22 |
| Tigger__ | hi | 18:22 |
| mokti_ | yes, why isn't csh in ubuntu by default? | 18:23 |
| mokti_ | or is it? | 18:23 |
| ikonia | mokti_: it's not a common shell any more , install tsch | 18:23 |
| mokti_ | Is that the only reason it isn't included? | 18:23 |
| ikonia | mokti_: not common any more | 18:23 |
| al_nz1 | I am trying to put a linux iso on USB with Unetbootin but getting a error loading kernel when trying to run from USB. Anyone know how to fix this? | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Travis-42: uninstall the nvidia driver, reboot then install nvidia-current and you should be ok | 18:23 |
| daan4711 | hi! | 18:24 |
| mokti_ | al_nzl: is there a specific error that appears? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | al_nz1: did you md5 test the iso you transferred? | 18:24 |
| Reaper | so I gues I have the gnome verson | 18:25 |
| === mokti_ is now known as mokti | ||
| al_nz1 | Heya ActionParsnip: yes. i think its more a case of editing something in /casper to point to '/' ? instead of '/cdrom' ? | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Reaper: more than likely yes | 18:25 |
| Reaper | i do, just installed the benchmark | 18:26 |
| Reaper | so the power button should show the settings? | 18:26 |
| Reaper | yep i see it | 18:27 |
| Reaper | thanx | 18:27 |

| natty-user | :Beninooby: So its safe to assume that they're just different visual themes? | 19:18 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, xubunut uses xfce, the samllest and fastest of those you are mentioning. kde is know for being very complete and having a lot of settings you can change. gnome is generally know for being minimal and less bulky tha KDE. | 19:18 |
| ThinkT510 | !mini | ahammond | 19:19 |
| ubottu | ahammond: 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 | 19:19 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, they are a bit more than that... | 19:19 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, the menus will be organized in a different way | 19:19 |
| troy1 | lol | 19:19 |
| ahammond | ThinkT510: I'm thinking specifically about the desktop / window manager stuff. Is there an easy way to get one of the old-school ones installed? | 19:19 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, but you can test it... all the interfaces are just programms, like any other progrma to | 19:19 |
| === troy1 is now known as Troy^ | ||
| jwa | troy1: why is there no awesomebuntu? :P | 19:19 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, you can easily install and uninstall them | 19:19 |
| ThinkT510 | !lubuntu | ahammond | 19:20 |
| ubottu | ahammond: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 19:20 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, so you can turn a ubuntu in a full xubuntu or kubuntu and vice versa | 19:20 |
| ahammond | thanks, I'll check it out! | 19:20 |
| natty-user | I've been using Ubuntu on an old PC for two years. I was wondering if the alternatives, especially the Xubuntu/Xfce maybe a better option? | 19:20 |
| Troy^ | jwa: yes | 19:20 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, xfce is faster | 19:20 |
| Troy^ | xfce is very light-weight | 19:20 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, i use fluxbox.. it is one of the fastest... but very minimal | 19:21 |
| Troy^ | very customizable as well | 19:21 |
| Troy^ | but im a hardcore gnome 2 dan | 19:21 |
| Troy^ | fan* | 19:21 |
| natty-user | Will the software work the same? btw, I never heard of fluxbox. I'll need to look into that. | 19:21 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, fluxbox is not really for beginners... it makes a lot use of key short cuts | 19:22 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, i barely use the mouse | 19:22 |
| Troy^ | natty-user: it all works the same its just different window environment and sometime more configuration is needed in the lighterweight | 19:22 |
| Myrtti | natty-user: lubuntu is fairly light, I'm running it on a relatively old machine | 19:22 |
| ThinkT510 | natty-user: xfce is gtk based, it works fantastic, my favourite de | 19:22 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, maybe, if you are coming from gnome, xfce will be a good thing for you | 19:22 |
| abstrakt | how can I change the screen resolution on the console? | 19:22 |
| jwa | Troy^: I meant the Awesome window manager not xfce | 19:22 |
| abstrakt | is that a grub thing? | 19:22 |
| ahammond | uh, so TWM is pretty much dead? | 19:23 |
| natty-user | Thanks guys, I'll download Xubuntu and try it. | 19:23 |
| Toph2 | benkevan,,, is fluxbox a window manager. ? | 19:23 |
| abstrakt | natty-user, try openbox as well | 19:23 |
| Troy^ | jwa: never used it or heard of anybody using it | 19:23 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, wait...do you ahve ubuntu installed? | 19:23 |
| abstrakt | natty-user, and also have a look at FVWM | 19:23 |
| jwa | Troy^: http://awesome.naquadah.org/ | 19:23 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, you can use gnome and xfce side by side and choose waht you like to use during log in | 19:24 |
| Troy^ | natty-user: if you have ubuntu installed you can install xfce | 19:24 |
| abstrakt | natty-user, FVWM is basically wicked fast but requires lots of customization | 19:24 |
| Benkinooby | Toph2, yes, fluxbox is a window manager | 19:24 |
| Troy^ | jwa: yea i'm looking at it now | 19:24 |
| Toph2 | benkevan,,, ok,, thanks,, i hadn't heard of it either | 19:24 |

| adriano | one question: do you know if there is an italian channel to chat? | 19:25 |
| natty-user | How do I install them side by side, multiboot? | 19:25 |
| Benkinooby | Toph2, the cool thing of fluxbox is, that it can tab windows... so you can tab together independent windows... that's good for organzing your stuff if you have many windows open | 19:25 |
| oCean | !it | adriano | 19:25 |
| ubottu | adriano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 19:25 |
| jwa | Troy^: I still need to try it out myself but I love the (non-)features :) | 19:25 |
| adriano | thanks a lot! | 19:25 |
| Troy^ | natty-user: XFCE is in xubuntu but you can just install XFCE inside ubuntu its the samething | 19:26 |
| jwa | ./msg alis *ubuntu* | 19:26 |
| jwa | ^ woah | 19:26 |
| Toph2 | benkevan,,, neat,, i'm just looking at some screenshots as well | 19:26 |
| Troy^ | natty-user: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xubuntu | 19:26 |
| guntbert | abstrakt: have you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer ? | 19:27 |
| Troy^ | natty-user: or if you prefer graphically http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xfce but the installations are the same | 19:27 |
| natty-user | @Troy^, Thanks for the links | 19:27 |
| natty-user | @Benkinooby: Thanks | 19:28 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, you are welcome... | 19:28 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, again, all things can be installed side by side... you can have fluxbox, xfce, gnome, kde installed in the same time and then choose what to use when you log in | 19:28 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, i did that when i was looking for my favourite interface... | 19:29 |
| Troy^ | yea and im still a gnome 2 user :P | 19:29 |
| ahammond | is there a simple process for switching a stock ubuntu install to Lubuntu? | 19:29 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, btw, if you are playing around... i REALLY, recommend you to have a look at gnome-do or kupfer | 19:30 |
| jwa | 'nother question: I modified xdg-open with this patch: http://bit.ly/oMjBM5 and as far as I can tell this should work, I setup an uri with xdg-mime and a proper *.desktop handler, but when I try 'xdg-open xdebug:///var/www/phpinfo.php' it says "Error showing url: The specified location is not supported".. | 19:30 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, they are application starters and also index some of your most used files... gnome-do or kupfer make the use of menus obsolete and you will find your files very fast | 19:30 |
| Benkinooby | natty-user, there are youtube videos on how they work and what they can do | 19:30 |
| Troy^ | never heard of gnome-do | 19:31 |
| natty-user | Benkinooby: I'll look into those too, its good to learn more about linux. I've learnt much today. Thanks again. I'll be back after re-logging in :) | 19:31 |
| Benkinooby | Troy^, i's made for ... tatatataaaaa... gnome... but can be used somewhere else too.... persnoally i prefer kupfer | 19:31 |

| jlgaddis | Hey guys, I'm asking this for a free who's currently without Internet access, so this is the only info I have. Any help you could provide would be appreciated! | 20:06 |
| Zachaeous | Ubuntu | 20:06 |
| jlgaddis | "Any of my Ubuntu friends happen to know where network manager happens to hide its comfing? One of the kids disabled my laptop's wifi and now I can't bring it back up. Logs indicate that nm is changing it's state back to down with a link to a bug report but I can't get online to look at it." | 20:06 |
| ikonia | Zachaeous: ask here, someone will help if they can | 20:06 |
| guntbert | abstrakt: you're welcome :-) | 20:06 |
| cache_surplus | sheshh | 20:07 |
| Zachaeous | ok.. mic doesnt matter cuz its same problem with both my mics.. the input WORKS but the audio is all choppy and breaky... any suggestions anyone? OS: ubuntu | 20:07 |
| blackcatnekonegr | I have gnome 2.32.0 and My lcd monitor just keeps turning off after a few minutes. Happens even in terminal mode. I use gnome 10.10 | 20:08 |
| blackcatnekonegr | eh ubuntu 10.10 | 20:08 |
| abstrakt | ok cool decent res on the console, but how do I save that? | 20:09 |
| dli | jlgaddis, while you didn't report any specific info(error messages, logs, etc.), try another network-manager, wicd, remove nm package, reboot | 20:09 |
| r000t_nb | I can't decrypt my home folder. I get a wall of errors on login and ecrypt-mount-private returns 'cannot examine encrypted directory'. I've been searching Google for the past hour and nothing has worked. I don't need anything in the folder, so how do I 'Blow up' and re-setup ecryptfs so I can start fresh? | 20:09 |
| abstrakt | guntbert, so now where do I put the vga=791 inside /etc/default/grub | 20:09 |
| blackcatnekonegr | ok I tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1222980 | 20:09 |
| Zachaeous | Can someone help me with my mic please? | 20:10 |
| hilikus | jlgaddis: try in term: ip link device wlan0 up | 20:10 |
| Zachaeous | anyone? | 20:10 |
| th0r | Zachaeous: crying might help, but stating the problem in a clear manner and waiting for someone who might know the answer will probably be easier | 20:11 |
| hilikus | opps sorry jlgaddis: should be ip link set wlan0 up | 20:11 |
| hilikus | you may need to sudo that. | 20:11 |
| abstrakt | aight, nm | 20:11 |
| abstrakt | so | 20:11 |
| Zachaeous | th0r: Your ignorance offends me... scroll up... the problem is stated in a clear manner. | 20:12 |
| abstrakt | what window manager should I install on ubuntu, and will I require xdm/gdm/kdm? i forget | 20:12 |
| abstrakt | it's a virtual machine/server so I want it to be lightweight | 20:12 |
| wols | Zachaeous: your ignorance offends us too. not that we commented on it. until now | 20:12 |
| Zachaeous | wols: what ignorance did I display? | 20:12 |
| wols | abstrakt: usually the desktop oyu install installs one already. but you can install any other if you really want to | 20:12 |
| firmevato | i'm currently running ubuntu 10.04 but want to try some other flashdrive-bootable flavors of linux. Any suggestions? | 20:12 |
| jlgaddis | abstrakt: xfce or awesome are pretty lightweight and decent | 20:12 |
| wols | abstrakt: you don't need any DM either | 20:13 |
| Deithrian | Problem : I need an older version of Xine that supports vdpau, I have the deb files.The problem is that when i remove Xine it removes Kaffeine as well, when i install the old version of Xine with vdpau support i then need to install Kaffeine.But when i install Kaffeine the Software Manager Automatically updates Xine to the latest version which doesn't support vdpau.... Is there a way to prevent the software manager from updating libxine when i install | 20:14 |
| Deithrian | Kaffeine? | 20:14 |
| dli | abstrakt, try slim instead of gdm/kdm | 20:14 |
| Zachaeous | wols: I had a feeling you would ignore that question. Next time you try to speak in a condescending way, think before hand. | 20:14 |
| blackcatnekonegr | Back | 20:14 |
| th0r | Deithrian: it is called 'pinning' in synaptic if I remember correctly | 20:15 |
| wols | Zachaeous: you should think before you insult people you want help from. ever thought of that? | 20:15 |
| Deithrian | th0r: ok i will take a look thanks o-o | 20:15 |

| th0r | riboflavin: deluge or transmission | 20:15 |
| blackcatnekonegr | anyway, I have tried several metods for my lcd to not turn off , but then I had to decide I wanted the video driver to work, and then my lcd turns off and flash screws my display | 20:16 |
| Deithrian | th0r: thank you ^^ there is a "Lock version" which i think will do the trick :) | 20:16 |
| wols | blackcatnekonegr: disabled DPMS? | 20:16 |
| riboflavin | thx | 20:16 |
| dli | blackcatnekonegr, buggy display driver? | 20:16 |
| blackcatnekonegr | "(17:16:34) wols: blackcatnekonegr: disabled DPMS?" I unsitalled gnome energy program and even the screensaver thing, the lcd still turns off | 20:17 |
| blackcatnekonegr | basicaly, it seems I have to find a way for my lcd to belive I am doing something, or it turn off on its own | 20:17 |
| dli | blackcatnekonegr, what about: xset s off | 20:17 |
| blackcatnekonegr | I think I will use pastebin, wait a minute | 20:18 |
| good_pie | When using ubuntu (libvirt/kvm) for virtualization in a multi-server arrangement with iSCSI/LVM shared storage, does anybody know if there's a good way to keep the same guest from starting on more than one node concurrently? | 20:18 |

| crazy2k | Any user of Shotwell + Picasa? I like having all my pictures in the same place ordered by date, and do tag them according to the trip or place. It seems Picasa organizes photos a bit different; you have to create albums. If I want to share all the pictures with a tag to Google+, I have to create an album with all those pictures and make it visible, right? | 20:20 |
| hilikus | reaper: alt-tab works | 20:21 |
| dli | blackcatnekonegr, also, try xset dpms force off | 20:21 |
| good_pie | oCean, not yet, that's my next stop | 20:21 |

| dli | blackcatnekonegr, pastebin: xset q | 20:23 |
| blackcatnekonegr | and sudo xset -dpms doesnt seem to do anything, nor does uninstalling gnome power manager and screensaver stuff, the lcd monitor still turn off, must be built for windows system and there is a signal or something gnome/linux ubuntu does not sent to it. | 20:24 |
| blackcatnekonegr | here is my problem http://pastebin.com/BYrQ4gCN | 20:25 |

| julianrabe | hi | 20:30 |
| julianrabe | this is the fifth channel i hope i will get help on | 20:30 |
| wols | r000t_nb: yes. 584000 files have a LOT of metadata | 20:30 |
| frostschutz | r000t_nb: lots of overhead, lots of seeks | 20:31 |
| blackcatnekonegr | so, is there a lubuntu channel around? | 20:31 |
| r000t_nb | So it's the same as with HTTP transfer? | 20:31 |
| wols | !lubuntu | 20:31 |
| julianrabe | im trying to set up a .deb-repos, everything works, but the gpg-signing. am i right here? | 20:31 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 20:31 |
| dr_willis | blackcatnekonegr: #lubuntu or here | 20:31 |
| blackcatnekonegr | ok | 20:31 |
| r000t_nb | Because Dropbox has a similar problem and I proposed that very small files are zipped into 10MB .tar files and sent that wat | 20:31 |
| frostschutz | r000t_nb: in http you'd have to make a separate request (and worst case even a new connection) for each file | 20:31 |
| blackcatnekonegr | cause I plan to install it in a netpc, but its not urgent | 20:31 |

| JohnnyFive | ewook, duh. That worked. Weird. Any idea why it would just boot into a blank screen like that? | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | felipe_Brz: no, in ubuntu its the admin group | 20:59 |
| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, did i miss the link? | 20:59 |
| ewook | JohnnyFive: sounds like X11 issues, and I'm no good with X11 :( | 20:59 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, it says if you've never set a pass it should work let me try that | 20:59 |
| felipe_Brz | ActionParsnip: ok thanks | 20:59 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, ERROR 1045 (28000) after doing that ^^ | 20:59 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: oh. | 20:59 |
| JohnnyFive | ewook, yep, ok ty sir! | 20:59 |
| ActionParsnip | felipe_Brz: if you su to a user who can use sudo and run: groups you will see | 20:59 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: *_* wow. | 20:59 |

| blackcatnekonegr | there | 21:00 |
| sw0rdfish | so I guess I'll just "reset" a new password, the thing is I don't remember setting a password but maybe I once did....oh well who cares I'm just trying to make my very first php project :D | 21:00 |
| ewook | JohnnyFive: there's plenty of others more involved with X11 than me, so simply re-construct your question later on. | 21:00 |
| BunnyFooFoo | does anyone know how to force a program to use a specific network interface? e.g. force telnet to use eth1 instead of eth0 | 21:00 |
| JohnnyFive | ewook, well you pointed me in the right direction, I think I know what's up now. | 21:00 |
| ministerdude | Any way to revert back to default? Now my whole computer isn't recognizing usb or my thumb drive | 21:00 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: did you try to do a simple mysql -u root (while having a root shell) ? | 21:00 |
| blackcatnekonegr | (17:59:26) Benkinooby: blackcatnekonegr, did i miss the link? (18:00:06) blackcatnekonegr: http://pastebin.com/H6cSpa2q | 21:01 |
| ewook | JohnnyFive: great :) | 21:01 |
| blackcatnekonegr | it was just a lot of text | 21:01 |
| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, got it... looking at it | 21:01 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: and does it prompt you for a password? | 21:01 |
| felipe_Brz | ActionParsnip: The thing is that I'm using Filezilla, and I need to login as a user who can do these things I told you, but it can't be the root because Filezilla doesn't allow it. I'm not sure whether the filezilla client will know it must type in 'sudo' every time it need to create a directoty or something like that | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sw0rdfish: if you are resetting your SQL password you can use this: http://brainextender.blogspot.com/2008/08/reset-mysql-superuseradministratorroot.html | 21:02 |
| Predatore | Well that didn't work. | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | felipe_Brz: then you will need to change the file ownerships etc so that the user has the right amount of access | 21:02 |
| blackcatnekonegr | yeah | 21:02 |
| Predatore | I think I uninstalled the UI. Is there a command line at boot that will reinstall the UNITY thing? | 21:03 |
| blackcatnekonegr | just set that folder and everything in it to be owned by the user | 21:03 |
| ewook | Predatore: do a apt-search show ubuntu-desktop | 21:03 |
| Predatore | Because right now I cannot open anything that isn't already created for me by either right click or menu from a program. | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Predatore: sudo apt-get install unity | 21:03 |

| TameableExpert_ | lols | 21:08 |
| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, you don't need to repeat my question... just put my name to your answer so that it gets highlited for me... the point is: if you use the ones from the standard ubuntu repos they are well tested and don't have bugs. if you use some bleeding-edge software, dowloaded from a ppa or even compiled yourself, you are on your own, because it is not standard and therfore the source of errors could be everywhere | 21:08 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, dude its 23:08 here too lol | 21:08 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, I'm working out so I need my proteins can't skip dinner just cuz tis late :P | 21:09 |

| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, they might have bugs, but people might know about them if they come from the standard repo | 21:09 |

| fulluser | how i get direct rendering to work (Dri - DRM) instead of mesa software rasterizer | 21:11 |
| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, why i am asking about the driver is because your dmesg log show a big amount of nvidia driver problems... | 21:11 |
| astraljava | ActionParsnip: No worries, totally understood. :) | 21:11 |
| fulluser | i missed it | 21:11 |
| fulluser | wait a sec | 21:11 |
| fulluser | sorry | 21:11 |
| astraljava | fulluser: Not a prob. Just that the log wasn't really helpful, need more info. | 21:12 |
| blackcatnekonegr | well, I have tried every driver ubuntu has and the one NVIDIA have, | 21:12 |
| ewook | guntbert: the -i simply gives you a false shell, and not really to be recommended in all cases. | 21:12 |
| Benkinooby | blackcatnekonegr, you said the monitor even turns off in console mode... please go to console mode and type "ps -A" and paste the output | 21:12 |
| blackcatnekonegr | if you know one that wonty crash my pc I would really be happy | 21:12 |

| ewook | guntbert: sudo is not one of my favorite solutions.. | 21:12 |
| guntbert | ewook: not true, it is the one where the environment is set in a sane way | 21:12 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: haha :p. | 21:12 |
| blackcatnekonegr | I cant copy paste in terminal mode | 21:12 |
| ewook | guntbert: sudo isn't sane to begin with :p. | 21:13 |
| blackcatnekonegr | in the real terminal mode I mean | 21:13 |
| astraljava | blackcatnekonegr: You can `ps -A | pastebinit`, I presume. It should give you a link to the created entry. | 21:13 |
| ewook | blackcatnekonegr: add an > filename to the command, and you'll get the output into a file instead. | 21:13 |
| guntbert | ewook: thats not true either but we are getting off topic discussing "sanity-values" - so lets drop it :) | 21:14 |
| ewook | astraljava: oh, pastebinit? sweet :p. | 21:14 |
| ewook | guntbert: I hear ya ;) | 21:14 |

| astraljava | al_nz1: Alright, but in the meantime, use #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support issues. | 21:36 |
| blackcatnekonegr | I am installing a few more to try | 21:36 |
| al_nz1 | astraljava: its a ubuntu based video! | 21:36 |

| SCATTERSHOT | whoever sent me that list of links could u send it once more | 21:37 |
| blackcatnekonegr | tiago, you need to use an account with administrator privileges | 21:37 |
| astraljava | nocilis: You can edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and switch some other country code instead of us., or just leave it out completely. | 21:37 |
| nocilis | i'll try that astraljava | 21:37 |
| tiago | blackcatnekonegr: my account was working, and now isn't | 21:37 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: I understand, but this is a support channel. That is off-topic here. | 21:37 |
| tiago | that means they remove privileges? | 21:37 |
| al_nz1 | astraljava: i see | 21:37 |
| tiago | removed | 21:37 |
| blackcatnekonegr | well, try with "users and groups" check to see the rights your account has | 21:38 |
| tiago | blackcatnekonegr: how can i check that? | 21:38 |
| astraljava | al_nz1: But yeah, you could post a link on the forums to it, it should help some people. Thanks for contributing! | 21:38 |

| tiago | blackcatnekonegr: this is in a server, if I don't have access to it | 21:39 |

| milk | i can record sound and play it back but not both at the same time | 21:44 |

| chilversc | astraljava: ah, didn't know lucid was a version name | 21:44 |
| chilversc | astraljava: so you can just click the version numbers at the top to change :) | 21:45 |
| chilversc | astraljava: have to say, the current selection could be made a little more obvious | 21:45 |
| blackcatnekonegr | back, I just havent found a driver that works well with my video card minus the 260 one, and I still get many bugs | 21:45 |
| astraljava | chilversc: Right, yeah. lucid is the nickname for 10.04. Current latest stable, 11.04, is called natty. | 21:45 |

| mang0 | Good night all. :) | 21:55 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: Windows Bootloader won't boot linux , you need grub ,lilo etc.... | 21:55 |

| ActionParsnip | milk: you just need the line which makes your sound work | 21:57 |
| Bigbucks | I didnt LOOSE GRUB, I WANT to loose GRUB | 21:58 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: you can have windows boot loader to chainload grub then read up be4 you do that | 21:58 |

| Benkinooby | astraljava, ok... i only want to read it : but if it is outdated, i don't want to see it anymore ... thx | 21:58 |
| wols | bl4ckcomb`: you just installed ubuntu. that is the installation of ubuntu you just created. and it has a grub-install file | 21:58 |
| Bigbucks | wildbat: How can I install GRUB on the Ubuntu partition, so I can just remove everything, without having grub or ubnutu on my harddrive | 21:59 |
| bl4ckcomb` | wols, ah ok, I'll check it (btw, I'm still in the installation process, where grub isn't installed yet, if that matters) | 22:00 |
| ch3m1c4l | hi everybody! | 22:00 |
| wols | bl4ckcomb`: then wait until it's finished | 22:00 |

| milk | ActionParsnip: no joy | 22:01 |
| ch3m1c4l | Does anyone know of a good irc network, or channel that is good to hang in for pentesters? | 22:01 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: do you have two harddrive one for ubuntu one for win?? | 22:01 |
| Bigbucks | wildbat: I have seperate partitions | 22:01 |
| wols | bl4ckcomb`: then just don't install it (might need the alternate installer possibly) | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | milk: ok delete the line and reboot, make sure the correct devices are set in sound options for both input and output | 22:01 |
| bl4ckcomb` | wols, ok, when I finish the installation without grub, how should I add it later? via a live cd? | 22:02 |
| milk | ActionParsnip: in the sound devices it only has one device option for each input and output | 22:02 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: that's not a good idea but you can grub-install /dev/sdXY to install in partition | 22:02 |
| astraljava | jamesrrkkjjssf: You're gonna have to be more specific. What services, and edit in what way? | 22:03 |
| raluxgaza | So I am running ubuntu minimal with irssi, boy does it feel strange | 22:03 |

| milk | rebooting | 22:05 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: you don't "get rid of it" you install windows' one so it overwritten the MBR so it boot with windows' one | 22:05 |
| cos_ | Is there anyone free to help with a problem I've been having? It's driving me crazy. | 22:05 |
| astraljava | jamesrrkkjjssf: You're probably thinking of the ones in /etc/init.d/ | 22:05 |
| cos_ | It has to do with changing the chost of the computer | 22:07 |
| cos_ | host* | 22:07 |
| Bigbucks | wildbat: Like I said before, I DONT have a windows recovery CD to do this with. | 22:07 |
| cos_ | I'm pretty sure I screwed myself. | 22:07 |
| astraljava | raluxgaza: Don't really know that much about grub, so if you won't get help from here at this moment, I'd suggest reading through this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | milk: do you dual boot the system? | 22:09 |
| wildbat | Bigbucks: that OT. it is M$ afterall , you need one~ setup CD etc. or boot to windows and download fixmbr / bootsect. for more ask in ##windows | 22:09 |
| yawnie | ok, acer is an absolute enemy for ubuntu :/ | 22:09 |

| cos_ | Thanks astra. | 22:09 |
| cos_ | Ok so I'm dual booting with Windows 7. Everything was fine until I decided I needed to change my host name. I looked up how to do it and tried using a package called gnome-netwo | 22:10 |
| === mouse is now known as acerlinux | ||
| cos_ | gnome-network-admin | 22:10 |
| cos_ | and changed both my hostname and entry it the hosts file | 22:11 |
| cos_ | I booted to a black screen witha blinking cursor | 22:11 |
| cos_ | i was able to boot to the recovery console, used startx, and changed the names back | 22:11 |
| cos_ | even though it seemed to take several reboots for it to happen | 22:11 |
| yawnie | i too am booting to a black screen with blinking cursor... but when trying to boot ubuntu from usb flash disk | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | yawnie cos_ | 22:12 |
| ubottu | yawnie cos_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:12 |
| acerlinux | what's ubuntu rescue mix? | 22:13 |

| cos_ | ubottu I am familiar with that command but i dont know why it would apply to my problem | 22:14 |
| ubottu | cos_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | yawnie: you can set it in grub, you don't need to be in Ubuntu to set it, so the answer is: easily | 22:14 |
| cos_ | oh | 22:14 |
| yawnie | ActionParsnip: i am sorry, i am not getting this. I get black screen at the moment i start computer and it decides to boot from usb | 22:15 |
| Success | two things: ((1) the ubuntu forums makes us log in now to see the forum posts, which is extremely annoying/bad )((2)how do you save panels configurations, like i have one setup rearranged to look like windows or mac, one normal, how do i save the configuration?) | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | yawnie: hold shift at boot | 22:15 |
| cos_ | ActionParsnip: Would that still be a viable solution if I try booting to the recovery console and it freezes when it gets to the end? | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | cos_: I'd test ram if it's hanging there | 22:15 |

| === herpaderp is now known as fowlmouth | ||

| bl4ckcomb` | wols, I've done install-grub /dev/sdc and it finished without problems. now I reboot and want to load the kernel, but the grub> prompt doesn't recognize root and kernel | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | cos_: I'd try the nomodeset boot option, may help. At least remove the quiet splash boot options so you can watch the boot | 22:21 |
| cos_ | ActionParsnip: ok, i will try it. last time i tried removing the quiet splash it was just stuck at the purple screen from grub. you put a ! before nomodeset, but no one else has mentioned to do that. was that a typo? | 22:21 |

| moxbox | kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-30-generic/include | 22:46 |
| moxbox | The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match | 22:46 |
| moxbox | your running kernel (version 2.6.35-30-generic). Even if the module were to | 22:46 |

| militant_ | haven't run ubuntu in ages, just switched back over from arch. where's proper sun java? (and is there anything to do for minecraft other than just running the jar?) | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: enable partner repo | 22:47 |
| Dramaturg | astraljava: It's not like its not working - it just does not connect to a specific network. And that's not covered in the help you just send. (Which I read btw) | 22:48 |
| astraljava | militant_: partner repository (at least for a couple of releases now) | 22:48 |
| militant_ | ok. i'll find the spot to enable those. thanks | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: there is a ppa which gets updated more frequently too | 22:49 |
| moxbox | The kernel headers are the newest version, and it says that my kernel isn't the running kernel, although uname -r says otherwise | 22:49 |
| astraljava | Dramaturg: Sorry, then. Try back later, if no-one knows now. I certainly don't know what to try next. | 22:50 |
| moxbox | "The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.35-30-generic). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel." | 22:50 |
| moxbox | "uname -r" gives me 2.6.35-30-generic | 22:51 |
| militant_ | ok, i enabled partners in software center but nothing new shows on a search or in the partners section | 22:51 |
| astraljava | militant_: Did you reload (or whatever it is you do in software center)? | 22:52 |
| chordogg | can we posts links here? | 22:52 |
| astraljava | militant_: Ie. the equivalent of `sudo apt-get update` | 22:52 |
| chordogg | moxbox, try this link: http://www.atlink.it/~conti/2007/12/19/vmware-uts_release/ | 22:52 |
| meoblast001 | hi | 22:52 |
| meoblast001 | i'm having a bit of a problem | 22:52 |
| meoblast001 | i tried to update from 10.10 to 11.04, and it failed... i lost all my software sources though | 22:52 |
| meoblast001 | how could i reenable those, they seem to be deleted | 22:53 |
| moxbox | chordogg: you're the best! | 22:53 |
| chordogg | moxbox, did that work? | 22:53 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone here run Kubuntu 10.10 who could give me the default repo lines? | 22:53 |
| moxbox | I'm trying it now | 22:53 |
| militant_ | astraljava: i guess? i just restarted software center and no results. it shows openjdk and stuff but not straightup sun java 1.7.3 or whatever it is today | 22:53 |
| moxbox | I run Ubuntu 10.10. repo's the same. | 22:54 |
| Soothsayer | I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu, (windows 7 is ntfs, ubuntu is on ext4)... When I'm on Ubuntu and I transfer some files or edit some files in the NTFS drive and later come back to windows, those files / directories appear corrupt for some reason | 22:54 |
| Soothsayer | why is this happening? | 22:54 |
| minimec | meoblast001: You can recreate them yourself... http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 22:55 |
| moxbox | chordogg: Gives me a permission denied, even with sudo | 22:56 |
| meoblast001 | minimec: thanks | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | meoblast001: boot to Natty CD and the upgrade will be an option | 22:58 |
| astraljava | militant_: I have no idea. Perhaps Software Center has a problem with that? Can you try on CLI: `sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre` | 22:59 |
| meoblast001 | oh, strange | 22:59 |
| meoblast001 | aparently i have everything activated | 22:59 |
| meoblast001 | but they're all natty repos | 22:59 |
| meoblast001 | something is really borked here | 22:59 |
| chordogg | hmm...not sure why that would be, unless maybe one of the directories didnt exist? | 22:59 |
| Dramaturg | How to reconfigure the network manager (like reinstall but without internet) dpkg-reconfigure -a network-manager or smith else? | 22:59 |
| chordogg | i'd try doing a google search for @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE, i'll bet someone else has had your problem before | 22:59 |
| militant_ | astraljava: cool, it's running | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | meoblast001: try the server upgrade method | 22:59 |
| meoblast001 | what's that? | 23:00 |
| moxbox | Google was my first check. I'm about to go to VMware themselves. | 23:00 |
| yawnie | holding shift while booting does nothing :/ | 23:01 |
| astraljava | moxbox: Didn't check the first link given to you, is this similar? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10761345 | 23:02 |
| militant_ | oh and what's this about? f5 doesn't refresh, it blanks webpages. ^5 does refresh | 23:02 |
| chordogg | moxbox, maybe the version.h file doesnt have read permission? try sudo chmod 777 version.h when you cd to that directory | 23:02 |
| moxbox | says "utsrelease.h" doesn't exist | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: which browser? | 23:04 |
| moxbox | when i try cat utsrelease.h >> version.h | 23:04 |
| militant_ | ActionParsnip: chromium | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: which version? | 23:04 |
| militant_ | latest | 23:05 |
| meoblast001 | oh yay | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: I can name 3 "latest"s | 23:05 |
| meoblast001 | my package manager is broke | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | meoblast001: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 23:05 |
| moxbox | militant: $ chromuim -v | 23:05 |
| moxbox | might be chromium-browser | 23:05 |
| meoblast001 | E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 23:05 |
| militant_ | ActionParsnip: 12.0.742.112 (90304) Ubuntu 11.04 | 23:06 |
| meoblast001 | i need to replace my entire repo list | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: ok that's the stable release, there is also the unstable and the daily build | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: does the F5 refresh issue happen as all users? | 23:08 |
| militant_ | i only have one user | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | militant_: make another to test then. Your OS can hold more than one local user | 23:08 |
| militant_ | tbh i might remember it doing it in chrome and ie9 both in the 20 mins i ran windows after buying this machine today before installing ubuntu instead | 23:08 |
| moxbox | afk | 23:09 |
| militant_ | ugh. i do not like unity. i'll be removing that soon. it's a pain to find anything with this over-sensitive touchpad (not speed, just slightest brushes and taps) | 23:10 |
| astraljava | moxbox: That first link refers to a really old kernel version, did you try the newer instructions at ubuntuforums? | 23:10 |
| moxbox | militant: also, in gconf (i don't know where right off hand), you can disable tapping the touchpad for clicking | 23:10 |
| militant_ | oh i prefer tapping. but i know i can disable it while keyboard is in use, so palms won't cause accidents | 23:11 |
| rodhash | Hello guys, how can I see what module is in use for my USB wireless card?? | 23:11 |
| Squall5668 | Hello all, im trying to make a really restricted user in 11.04. I have removed most buttons etc from the drop downs (ubuntu classic ofc) and im trying to get rid of the System Settings in the top right indicator too. Any clue on how to do that? | 23:11 |
| moxbox | the ubuntuforum link dealt a), with natty, and b), with vmware 2, lol | 23:12 |
| rodhash | Anyone knows how to see what module is in use for a usb wireless card? | 23:12 |
| moxbox | my guess is that problem is the perl installer script doesn't have a clue what kernel i'm running | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rodhash: sudo lshw -C network | 23:13 |
| moxbox | rodhash: lsmod | grep net | 23:13 |
| moxbox | acutally, that one is way better. | 23:13 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip: I've tried "lsmod / lsub" but I didn't find | 23:13 |
| astraljava | moxbox: Oh okay, sorry. :) | 23:13 |
| moxbox | it's okay, no need to apologize | 23:13 |
| rodhash | ActionParsnip: Would be this one? driver=usb | 23:15 |
| rodhash | configuration: broadcast=yes driver=usb | 23:15 |
| moxbox | astraljava: uname -r tells me it's 2.6.35-30-generic, while the perl script says that the very same kernel *isn't* my running kernel. | 23:16 |
| rodhash | Anyonw knows how can I umount this usb wireless card? It's wlan1.. | 23:17 |
| militant_ | my god. unity is worse than i ever thought. i can't find anything. how is it useful to have a massive cluster of 82 apps with no organization or anything | 23:18 |
| moxbox | although this page apears to be promising: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-vmware-server-2-on-ubuntu-10.10-kernel-2.6.35-p2 | 23:18 |
| rodhash | Anyonw knows how can I umount this usb wireless card? It's wlan1.. | 23:18 |
| militant_ | and that stupid sidebar won't pop up half the time, and duplicates the vanishing taskbar from windows i hate so much | 23:18 |
| itaylor57 | !classic > militant_ | 23:19 |
| ubottu | militant_, please see my private message | 23:19 |
| RenatoSilva | anyone knows where's/how to get that app where you choose between alsa and others? | 23:20 |
| moxbox | militant: Log out, then when you select your username, choose "ubuntu classic", then enter your password, and log in. | 23:20 |
| Squall5668 | Am i really the only one trying to make super restricted users? :/ | 23:20 |
| militant_ | cool. i figured there was a revert. thanks | 23:20 |
| astraljava | moxbox: utsrelease.h can be found under /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`/include/generated/ but it might still be that even if you fixed that, and the autoconf issue, not all the modules will necessarily build. The 1.x line of server is way outdated. | 23:21 |
| moxbox | RenatoSilva: System > Preferences > Main Menu, then under Preferences, check the box that says "Multimedia systems selector" | 23:21 |
| moxbox | Astraljava: thanks, I'll try v2 | 23:21 |
| moxbox | brb, all | 23:21 |
| RenatoSilva | moxbox: THANKS! | 23:22 |
| RenatoSilva | moxbox: it's alsa anyway, the ubuntu alsa ppa didn't work bah | 23:22 |
| astraljava | Squall5668: Most likely not. Does that relate to some support issue? | 23:22 |
| Squall5668 | Hello all, im trying to make a really restricted user in 11.04. I have removed most buttons etc from the drop downs (ubuntu classic ofc) and im trying to get rid of the System Settings in the top right indicator too. Any clue on how to do that? | 23:23 |
| Squall5668 | i posted this a minute ago | 23:23 |
| Squall5668 | i thought of a chroot jail, but that's quite easy to break out of | 23:23 |
| astraljava | Squall5668: Right, sorry. Must've missed it. | 23:23 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, there are tools to do that, but if you say why you want to do it, it's probably easier to give you a good answer. | 23:23 |
| sw0rdfish | where is the mysql data directory | 23:24 |
| sw0rdfish | the default one | 23:24 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, you still there :D | 23:24 |
| jo-erlend_ | sw0rdfish, /var/lib/mysql or something? | 23:24 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend, i just don't want the user to be able to change any setting at all, save from programs like firefox and libreoffice | 23:24 |
| coz_ | Squall5668, trying to think of a way to do this without actually uninstalling some indicators | 23:24 |
| jo-erlend_ | sw0rdfish, you can use #Ubuntu-server for server-related questions btw. | 23:26 |
| coz_ | Squall5668, see if this helps http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Managing_Ubuntu_11.04_Users_and_Groups#Modifying_User_Account_Settings | 23:26 |
| fakingfantastic | how do you check the cron is on and running? | 23:26 |
| Fjorgynn | ... | 23:26 |
| Fjorgynn | how can I get 3d support? | 23:26 |
| Fjorgynn | nvidia | 23:26 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, did you install the nvidia driver? | 23:26 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: if there is a cronjob running. crontab -l will show all scheduled jobs | 23:26 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, hope you have good reasons for it. | 23:27 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: yes | 23:27 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: ok, so since my line shows up - that means it's gonna run? | 23:27 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok and did you reboot after installing the nvidia drivers? | 23:27 |
| Fjorgynn | yes | 23:27 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: and when I try to start nvidia-settings it says I must write bla bla bal in terminal. Did that and NO. the X-server won't start | 23:27 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok are you on Unity or classic? | 23:27 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: xfce | 23:27 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: it means it will be executed. Whether it runs or not depends on how good the command is <smile> | 23:28 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: touche, thanks | 23:28 |
| sw0rdfish | jo-erlend_, thanks you already got it right first time :D | 23:28 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok what does it say "exactlY' when you type nvidia-settings in the terminal? | 23:28 |
| Squall5668 | coz_ that's just the regular settings. Thanks though | 23:28 |
| coz_ | Squall5668, sorry | 23:28 |
| Duckfd | How do I run a program like in ALT F2 from the terminal? | 23:28 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: gets a popup | 23:28 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, and what does that say "exactly" | 23:29 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ i told you the reason. I just don't want that idi... ahem... guy to mess anything up. Even his own settings | 23:29 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, but if you explain the scenario, it really does become easier to provide better help. | 23:29 |
| th0r | Duckfd: any command that runs in Alt-F2 should also run if entered at the command prompt in the terminal | 23:29 |
| Fjorgynn | "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root) and restart the X server" | 23:29 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: | 23:29 |
| coz_ | Squall5668, not sure off hand,, there has to be a simple solution for this | 23:29 |
| Fjorgynn | and when I did that the server won't start | 23:29 |
| Duckfd | thor but with leaving a prompt | 23:29 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok first in terminal type jockey-gtk | 23:30 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, why don't you make a panic button instead, so that he can just jump back to a time when everything was fine? It's easier to do, and a lot more user friendly. | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, when that opens see if in fact the nvidia_current dirver is activated | 23:30 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: yes | 23:30 |
| Fjorgynn | This driver is activated but not used | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok so it says it is indeed activated,,, ok in terminal type sudo nvidia-xconfig | 23:30 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, then either restart x or reboot | 23:31 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, out of curisity in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 23:31 |
| coz_ | curiosity | 23:31 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: got Intel and nVidia | 23:31 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ agh, you are really pushing my english skills... This box will be given to a guy and he will share it with others too. All of which have no idea of doing more than clicking the mouse button. All they need is probably the office suite. Maybe firefox too (not sure if they have even used the internet before) Yes that's the kind of people im talking about. So no, one more button is just | 23:31 |
| Squall5668 | not a good idea | 23:31 |
| Fjorgynn | it says coz_ | 23:32 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, I need to see the actual readout,, go to pastebin.com and paste it there,, post it and give me the link | 23:32 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: http://pastebin.com/Q0j56hq7 | 23:32 |
| Fjorgynn | there | 23:32 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, laptop ...yes? | 23:32 |
| Fjorgynn | yes | 23:33 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, ok the easiest and most reliable thing to do is to remove the nvidia driver and use the intel video | 23:33 |
| elz89 | how do I make system info display when I ssh to a machine, some of my ubuntu servers do it, others not? | 23:33 |
| haruair | hello | 23:33 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, making it so that alt+ctrl+f12 restores everything to how it was a half an hour ago is something you can do in an hour or so. Locking down all applications can be _really_ difficult. In any case, you should give each user their own account. That usually reduces problems dramatically since people tend to care less about systems they share. | 23:33 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, blacklisting and disabling the onboard intel may be a pain in the rear and I have not found an adequate way of doing that with dual video card systems | 23:33 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, unless you can disable the intel video in the bios | 23:33 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: i set up this: 1 * * * * /usr/bin/touch /tmp/test -- didn't work, ran the command manually, it did. Any idea? | 23:34 |
| Fjorgynn | coz_: but I want 3d? | 23:34 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, the intell video should give that also | 23:34 |
| Squall5668 | Well, i guess the panic button will do. But if you could possibly link a guide for locking down everything, id be greatful. I have time anyways :) | 23:34 |
| Fjorgynn | :/ | 23:34 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, if not then ,, I am not sure what to say ,, as I said,, check the bios to see if the intel onboard can be disabled, if that's the case then reinstall the nvidia driver and all should be well | 23:34 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ sorry forgot to type your name, check a little upwards :) | 23:35 |
| Fjorgynn | or just keep using Windows 7 | 23:35 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, let me put it another way. Avoiding all possible errors is extremely difficult. Making it possible to easily correct all possible errors is very easy. | 23:35 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: /tmp is owned by root. Are you running the cron as root? | 23:35 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, let me check online for any references to dual video systems and disableing onboard intel ,, hold on | 23:35 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: how do i know? | 23:35 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ i still wish to see a guide. Is there one? | 23:35 |
| JohnnyFive | ok, I have a USB device (IR receiver) plugged in.. how can I figure out what /dev/ it was mapped to? | 23:36 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, I actually tried to do that once. I spent a week, and I gave up. Some applications are almost impossible to lock down because of how they work. You can try Sabayon, for instance. It will lock down the main desktop. The panel and such. | 23:36 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: each user has his/her own crontab. If you run crontab -l as <username> you only see the jobs that user has scheduled | 23:36 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, y ou might also check in ##hardware channel to see if they have suggestions | 23:36 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: and I am not sure, there may be some problem running something like that as root | 23:36 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: ahh ok yeah im doing crontab -e as root | 23:36 |
| fakingfantastic | ok good deal | 23:36 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ thank you! Ill poke around that tool then | 23:37 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: I have never tried to run a crontab as root....so not sure. I do know you cannot use ~ in crontab, you have to use the full path name (unless there is some ubuntu specific mod going on) | 23:37 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, I am finding nothing online about this | 23:37 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, but if you value input, then my opinion is that what you are doing is wrong. I don't often say that. You should use backups instead. It's _much_ easier both for you and the users and you get lots of bonuses. | 23:38 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, check in both ##hardware and ##linux channels,, maybe someone there can help with t his,, make sure you say you want to use the onboard nvidia and not the intel | 23:38 |
| Squall5668 | i have tried that and tested my patiance one too many times | 23:38 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, if you find a solution for this , please let me know | 23:38 |
| Fjorgynn | or just use Windows 7 and swear | 23:38 |
| elz89 | how do I make system info display when I ssh to a machine, some of my ubuntu servers do it, others not? | 23:39 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, i wou ld hunt down a few people who may have a solution before consigning myself to that :) | 23:39 |
| Fjorgynn | nah | 23:39 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, its worth the effort honest | 23:39 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, did you try automatic incremental backups and a keyboard shortcut to restore to the last backup? "Press alt+ctrl+f12 and everything will be back to normal, no matter what you do". Nothing is easier than that. | 23:39 |
| coz_ | Fjorgynn, as I said ,, check in the bios,, if both video cards are o nboard,, there should be a way of disabling one of them | 23:40 |
| induz | I have 1gb UFD and i want to install a flavor of LINUX/Ubuntu on it...so i can boot from the UFD...what u suggest | 23:40 |
| coz_ | Inure, "UFD" ? | 23:40 |
| induz | UFD is formatted in MSwindows as FAT32 | 23:40 |
| induz | UFD= USB flash drive | 23:41 |
| coz_ | ah | 23:41 |
| induz | PenDrive | 23:41 |
| induz | stick | 23:41 |
| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ no i haven't tried the one-button restore approach but a tool for backups. I guess im not too good with user-friendlyness. Anyways, ill take your input and rethink my approach :) | 23:41 |
| induz | thumb drive | 23:41 |
| coz_ | induz, I would think any of the ubuntu versions should work well | 23:41 |
| induz | but it is just Igb | 23:41 |
| induz | 1gb | 23:41 |
| coz_ | induz, hold on | 23:41 |
| elz89 | induz: go with arch linux | 23:42 |
| Griffin11 | induz that is sufficient | 23:42 |
| induz | so i want a small version with basics and networking support | 23:42 |
| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, that's wise. Because I can almost promise you that no matter how hard to try to make the system bullet proof, some user is going to find a way to do something wrong. | 23:42 |
| induz | arch linux?? | 23:42 |
| Squall5668 | don't i know :/ | 23:42 |
| induz | any link | 23:42 |
| coz_ | induz, also austrumi if you dont need much else | 23:43 |
| Griffin11 | induz, oh i though you wanted to install -from- usb, nevermind | 23:43 |
| coz_ | induz, this works well from a flash drive http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/ | 23:43 |
| induz | i want bootable so I donthave to | 23:43 |
| joaolucas_ | Hello everbody | 23:44 |
| joaolucas_ | How're you? | 23:44 |
| coz_ | induz, austrumi is based on slackware,, it will definitly fit onto that drive with most of what you need | 23:45 |

| jo-erlend_ | Squall5668, what I ended up doing, in order to really be sure everything worked, was to take an incremental backup of the users home every 30 minutes. The panic button would log out the user, restore to the latest backup and then log the user back in. It worked very well. | 23:45 |
| elz89 | coz_: whats up with the screenshots on that site eh? | 23:46 |
| coz_ | elz89, not sure,, you cant see them? | 23:46 |

| Squall5668 | jo-erlend_ thanks | 23:47 |
| coz_ | elz89, they are showing up in firefox here | 23:47 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: not sure, but try putting the entire command inside 'single quotes' | 23:47 |
| coz_ | elz89, do you have flash installed? | 23:47 |
| elz89 | I use 5.0.1 on OSX | 23:47 |
| mooee2 | Hi there smart guys. Do somebody have a spare 5 minutes and a bit knowledge about connecting two routers? I'll really appreciate it | 23:47 |
| JohnnyFive | Wait. Nix that. If I plug in a USB device, and it doesn't attach to something in /dev/, how do I force it? | 23:47 |
| elz89 | mount | 23:48 |
| coz_ | mooee2, i do not sorry,, however,,, if no one here, at this particular time has a solution,, you can also try the ##linux channel | 23:48 |
| JohnnyFive | elz89, even if it's just a USB IR Receiver? | 23:48 |
| mooee2 | coz_, thank you | 23:48 |
| coz_ | mooee2, no problem | 23:49 |
| elz89 | JohnnyFive: yes at boot | 23:49 |
| upgrdman | JohnnyFive, does dmesg give any clues as to why the ir rx isn't working? | 23:49 |
| induz | Austrumi its an ISO file...How can i run it on USBSTIck | 23:49 |
| JohnnyFive | upgrdman, looking | 23:50 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: yes :p | 23:50 |
| induz | coz_, how can i make it to work on USB ..its downloading a ISO file | 23:50 |
| sw0rdfish | oh welcome back ewook | 23:51 |
| upgrdman | JohnnyFive, if you unplug it, plug it back in, wait maybe 10 seconds, then run dmesg it should have any pertinent notices at the end | 23:51 |
| ewook | thx :p | 23:51 |
| coz_ | induz, are you on linux or windows right now? | 23:51 |
| sw0rdfish | man I still can't reset my mysql password | 23:51 |
| JohnnyFive | upgrdman, ya was about to do that I think | 23:51 |
| ewook | induz: unetbootin | 23:51 |
| upgrdman | ok | 23:51 |
| coz_ | induz, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 23:51 |
| sw0rdfish | I'm getting frustrated, ewook, can I reinstall it without aptitude (I don't have aptitude lol I don't like it because I remember it causing me trouble in another distro) | 23:51 |
| coz_ | induz, if you are on windows you can download the windows version there | 23:51 |
| induz | i am in Ubuntu | 23:51 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: aptitude should be there by default *_* | 23:52 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, man I still can't reset my mysql password | 23:52 |
| coz_ | induz, ok sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 23:52 |
| th0r | fakingfantastic: a suggestion about cron. Put the cron lines in the file ~/cron.txt. Then if you schedule two or more cron jobs you don't have to keep reentering them. Edit the file, then load it in with crontab /home/user/cron.txt | 23:52 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: did you try the reinstall part? | 23:52 |
| sw0rdfish | nope when I type it in terminal it says package aptitude found in...etc | 23:52 |
| sw0rdfish | unless there is a graphical interface which is already there? | 23:52 |
| fakingfantastic | th0r: i may do this, once i can get this way to work | 23:52 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, ok how do i try the uninstall part I actually didn't | 23:53 |
| induz | unetbootin is loaded now coz_ | 23:53 |
| induz | do I have to make the USBStick bootable first | 23:54 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: you prolly could (I'm not sure about this) try to first do a apt-get remove mysql && apt-get purge and then do a apt-get install mysql | 23:54 |
| === Helix_ is now known as Guest669 | ||
| elz89 | how do I make system info display when I ssh to a machine, some of my ubuntu servers do it, others not? | 23:54 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, thats better than doing it with aptitude? | 23:54 |
| coz_ | induz, ok cool,, easy to deal with ,, just locate the .iso and then click ok | 23:54 |
| coz_ | induz, if the flash drive is already attached that is | 23:55 |
| coz_ | induz, it will show up on the bottom left field as "USB Drive" | 23:55 |
| induz | USB stick is attached to the machine but it has some MS window file/folder | 23:55 |
| === linuxguy101 is now known as rothchild | ||
| coz_ | induz, just above that and to the far right is a button with ... on it ,, click that ,,locate the iso and then click ok | 23:55 |

| johnnysix | upgrdman, does this tell you anything? http://pastebin.com/L25M6qHx I don't see any errors, but I don't get where it's attaching it? | 23:55 |
| coz_ | induz, also make sure the system is set to boot from usb | 23:55 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: that's like doing the --reinstall with aptitue | 23:56 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: first you remove the installation, then you purge it, and last you install it again | 23:56 |
| upgrdman | johnnysix, looks like its working | 23:56 |
| induz | coz_, I install the program but dont know where it is | 23:56 |
| upgrdman | johnnysix, you probably need to setup lirc or whatever program you want to use your remote with | 23:56 |
| sw0rdfish | yeah I just tried aptitude --reinstall mysql still displays the same message "package aptitude can be found in...etc" | 23:56 |
| sw0rdfish | ewook, ^^ | 23:57 |
| coz_ | induz, under system tools | 23:57 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: there was a person in here before that had a keen eye to how to you newer stuff tho *_* | 23:57 |
| coz_ | induz, or open a terminal and type unetbootin | 23:57 |
| coz_ | induz, or alt + F2 and type undetbootin | 23:57 |
| sw0rdfish | newer stuff? | 23:57 |
| ewook | sw0rdfish: well if aptitude is missing, there will of course be a message that it cannot be found. but your message is weird. | 23:57 |
| sw0rdfish | whatever man I'm just gonna do the apt-get commands you showed me | 23:57 |
| johnnysix | upgrdman, so how do I point to the device in a config file? | 23:58 |
| johnnysix | I thought USB devices were mounted somewhere in /dev/ | 23:58 |
| elz89 | sw0rdfish: have you tried purging mysql? | 23:58 |
| slinzex | hi there! anybody knows how to easy download flash video buffered in chrome? /tmp solution not work .. :S | 23:58 |
