| faint545 | astraljava, how would i do this? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| induz | coz_, let me try again.... | 00:00 |
| coz_ | induz, take another look at this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot-UNetbootin.png | 00:00 |
| Bsims | faint545: edit /etc/fstab | 00:00 |
| coz_ | induz, first plugin the flash drive and make sure it opens | 00:00 |
| Bsims | faint545: let me look for the exact syntax | 00:00 |
| coz_ | induz, then if it is empty,, close its content window and then open unetbootin | 00:00 |
| faint545 | Bsims, i know how to edit Fstab . i just dont know what the syntax is to make a disk have a specific device name (i.e. /dev/sda1) | 00:01 |
| astraljava | magpii: So like you said, either the mirror is outdated, or the -proposed is having an issue right now. You could try commenting that out, doing `sudo apt-get update` and trying to install avidemux again. | 00:01 |
| faint545 | I should say persistent, not specific. | 00:01 |
| coz_ | induz, at the bottom of unetbootin in the bottom left corner is the "Type" field pulldown,, make sure it is listed as USB drive or if your drive name is in the pull down choose that | 00:01 |
| Bsims | faint545: # /media/disk-1 aka /dev/sdc1 | 00:01 |
| Bsims | UUID=b9da1093-fd12-40fe-b433-8a082421a375 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 2 | 00:01 |
| astraljava | Bsims: It's not interesting, it's plain logic. Many of them update regularly, but without proper control of the dependencies. | 00:02 |
| coz_ | induz, then for the ISO image maneuver to the location of th e ISO image and choose that,, then click "OK" | 00:02 |
| Bsims | faint545: making it assign it to a particular /dev/ is now handled with udev which I've not faffled with | 00:02 |
| edbian | Bsims: well you better get faffled | 00:03 |
| simpleirc730 | hi | 00:03 |
| magpii | astraljava: when i update, i get the errors like maverick meerkat cannot be updated, resorting to old ones | 00:03 |
| edbian | simpleirc730: hello | 00:03 |
| Bsims | edbian: eh mostly it works for me with the occasional hard links | 00:03 |
| edbian | Bsims: :) | 00:03 |
| induz | coz_, here http://i.imgur.com/TJZxp.png | 00:04 |
| astraljava | magpii: You should uncomment the first line, that has the installation media still as a source. :) | 00:04 |
| coz_ | induz, did you direct it to the "Drive" /dev/sdg1 manually? | 00:05 |
| induz | coz_, NO | 00:05 |
| coz_ | induz, ok | 00:05 |
| * astraljava wonder what it feels like to get faffled | 00:05 | |
| astraljava | wonders* | 00:05 |
| coz_ | induz, give it a try again | 00:05 |
| Bsims | edbian: I may agree with why they did it but UUID means nothing to me, its a long string of giberish... so long as the computer translates into /media/Endless_Box_O_Porn_n_Music I don't care | 00:05 |
| b44 | Any email-server, which can interact between gmail and client?? | 00:06 |
| edbian | Bsims: haha, UUIDs are unique, /dev/sdXY is not (because it changes every time on boot) | 00:06 |
| magpii | astraljava: i unchecked the first box on the list of repos in package manager and it seems to be updating better than before | 00:06 |
| astraljava | Bsims: YOU'VE BEEN AT MY BOX?! | 00:06 |
| b44 | with browser-interaction | 00:06 |
| induz | coz_, its asking me to reboot Now | 00:06 |
| astraljava | magpii: Sure, cause it can't find that repo if the media is not mounted. | 00:06 |
| Bsims | edbian: in the pre udev days didn't change | 00:06 |
| Bsims | edbian: but required editing a text file if you added stuff | 00:07 |
| coz_ | induz, no need to reboot now... however if you do ,, recheck the bios to be sure usb flash can be booted | 00:07 |
| edbian | Bsims: I'm not old enough to remember that | 00:07 |
| * Bsims remembers having to write a X11 config file | 00:07 | |
| coz_ | induz, is this a usb hub you are using or the case usb front or back? | 00:07 |
| magpii | astraljava: lol, i figured it would know that and move onto the next repo automatically | 00:07 |
| astraljava | edbian: Funny, my natty still uses the conventional method, and it won't change, like, ever. | 00:08 |
| edbian | astraljava: the conventional method of faffle? | 00:08 |
| * Bsims feels really old I remember XFree86 | 00:08 | |
| astraljava | magpii: It's listed as a candidate, so it will try it. Obviously the updating won't die because of it, but it will throw an error, which you just saw. | 00:08 |
| * astraljava slaps edbian around with a large trout | 00:09 | |
| Godfiend | What is a "symbol lookup error"? | 00:09 |
| astraljava | Did it go like that? | 00:09 |
| edbian | ha | 00:09 |
| Bsims | stable was the 2.2 series and 2.4.0 was the new hotness | 00:09 |
| bcessa | hi there, this is the content of my /etc/sudoers file http://paste.ubuntu.com/657564/ however every time I try to sudo using the ben user I get the following error message: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 11 <<< any ideas on why/how to fix it? :( | 00:09 |
| lindenle | Hi the 2.6.38-10-generic version of the kernel cause my machine to completely hang at boot. No x windows and flashing hard drive light on dell latitude laptop | 00:09 |
| * Bsims holds up a old timey hearing horn to my ear... hand me my cane, the walking one not the pervy one | 00:10 | |
| sublim21 | hey all | 00:10 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Should it be root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL ? | 00:11 |
| fowl | coz_: that worked great, thanks a lot | 00:11 |
| astraljava | bcessa: also same for the user. | 00:11 |
| bcessa | don't know really, let me give it a try | 00:11 |
| magpii | astraljava: is it common to have to sometimes re apply installation after getting a hash sum mismatch error during install of software? I have had to do it 3 times during avidemux install | 00:12 |
| sublim21 | just stopping by this chat for a quick question. I recently bought myself a cheap netbook and installed ubuntu (my first linux experience actually) but im still worried about compatibility, so i'd like to run a version of windows still. I've heard about virtual machines but don't any experience with them. My concern with a virtual machine is the speed (this is a netbook after all). So what is the best thing to do? virtual mach | 00:12 |
| astraljava | magpii: No, if the mirror is working correctly, not common at all. | 00:12 |
| edbian | sublim21: virtual mac? What's that mean? | 00:12 |
| induz | coz_, a front USB hub | 00:12 |
| sublim21 | edbian: virtual windows | 00:13 |
| coz_ | induz, is it a case plug or a hub attached to the case | 00:13 |
| magpii | Astraljava: i installed avidemux again and i cant find it in any of the menu lists | 00:13 |
| astraljava | edbian: sublim21: got caught off. | 00:13 |
| edbian | sublim21: The best way to know if a virtual machine will work for you is to create one and install an OS on it and use it. (windows xp should run fine). Linux is very efficient as a host OS so you're in a good place. | 00:13 |
| sublim21 | oh. did my full question not come through? | 00:13 |
| astraljava | magpii: If you hit Alt+F2, and type avidemux there, will it open? | 00:13 |
| Bsims | astraljava: Oh I found the repo with the problem... its http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu | 00:13 |
| edbian | sublim21: check out virtualbox it is free, in the repos, and easy to use | 00:14 |
| coz_ | induz, if it doesnt work with the front plug see if there is an open usb plug in the rear of the system which would be directly connected to the motherboard | 00:14 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Caught off at "So what is the best thing to do? virtual mach" | 00:14 |
| edbian | sublim21: read what you wrote. | 00:14 |
| coz_ | induz, I have seen instances where the front side usb for some reason isnt recognized for booting,, its rare but it happens | 00:14 |
| magpii | astraljava: lol, another useful command learned. found it | 00:14 |
| astraljava | Bsims: Not a real surprise. Backports can do that, and when it's a PPA on top of that all... | 00:14 |
| astraljava | *sigh* | 00:14 |
| sublim21 | edbian: i wrote 'virtual machine or dual boot?' at least that's what appears on my end. | 00:14 |
| Bsims | astraljava: yeah I know shame on me | 00:15 |
| bcessa | no, still getting the same error :( | 00:15 |
| astraljava | magpii: Do you see menus on the top left corner? Applications, Places, System? | 00:15 |
| edbian | sublim21: Did you already install linux? What OS did this machine come with?? | 00:15 |
| Bsims | astraljava: heh used to run Sid... so I'm kinda used to it | 00:15 |
| coz_ | induz, I have to break here ...sorry,, family matters,,, be back later,, I am sure someone here is far smarter than me and can work through this with you :) | 00:15 |
| sublim21 | edbian: came with windows 7 'starter' | 00:15 |
| astraljava | bcessa: But you're still able to edit that file? Did you use visudo for that? | 00:15 |
| edbian | sublim21: Do you still have that installed? Did you install linux? | 00:15 |
| astraljava | Bsims: Yeah, that gets... interesting quick. :) | 00:15 |
| sublim21 | edbian: i wiped it clean. partitioned it down the middle, and installed windows on one half, | 00:16 |
| bcessa | since I can get root privileges I'm not able to do it, I'm using a parallels panel to edit the file | 00:16 |
| magpii | astraljava: yes i also found the menus editor and seeing if i can make it show through that | 00:16 |
| bcessa | *I can't | 00:16 |
| sublim21 | and tried to install linux on the second partition, but i didn't understand the partition options at the time, so i installed ubuntu on the same partition as windows. sorry for breaking it up like this | 00:16 |
| induz | coz_, when i boot from USB i plug it on the back USB port | 00:16 |
| induz | coz_, its ready to boot now...let me reboot and i will get back asap | 00:16 |
| induz | coz whn i boot I dont use the usb hub | 00:16 |
| induz | hello | 00:16 |
| edbian | sublim21: What do you mean wiped it clean? You erased windows 7 then partitioned in 1/2 and installed windows 7? Why? What OS's are installed right now? windows and linux? (because that is dual boot) | 00:16 |
| astraljava | bcessa: If you don't have the required privileges, the file won't be saved, so the changes won't come into effect. You need to boot into single-user mode. | 00:16 |
| edbian | sublim21: just read your second post. I think I get it now. | 00:17 |
| edbian | sublim21: Remember to always start with my name if you're talking to me so I don't miss it. No worries about breaking it up :) | 00:17 |
| edbian | sublim21: The partitioner can be confusing if you don't know what you're doing. | 00:17 |
| sublim21 | edbian: yea. it was. : ( | 00:17 |
| bcessa | actually the file is being saved since I access the parallels panel as the root user, looking at the single-user mode now | 00:17 |
| sublim21 | edbian: but i'd like to start over now. there's very little on it. | 00:18 |
| astraljava | bcessa: What's a parallels panel? | 00:18 |
| edbian | sublim21: So you wanna run windows and ubuntu. Dual boot pros are that performance is maximized (you're not running two os's at the same time). Con is that you are wasting space (each os needs free space) | 00:18 |
| edbian | sublim21: virtual machine is easier to set up and easier to remove. | 00:18 |
| bcessa | is a virtual server so I guess is something like plesk or that kind of stuff | 00:18 |
| ManDrake- | Can anyone tell me how to get my install of Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize my floppy drive? | 00:18 |
| sublim21 | edbian: and with a virtual machine i don't have to manually restart the computer correct? | 00:19 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Oh. And you get root privileges that way? | 00:19 |
| edbian | sublim21: that's right. The virtual machine is just a program that runs in ubuntu (or windows if you do it the other way around) | 00:19 |
| * Bsims laughs only got into Ubuntu as at the time sid was literaly uninstallable | 00:20 | |
| sublim21 | edbian: i'd rather have ubuntu be the 'master' os. | 00:20 |
| edbian | Bsims: I think the only way to get Debian sid is to install stable and change the repos ! | 00:20 |
| * Bsims goes looking to see why my sshd isn't speaking to the outside world, router is speaking correctly, and dyndns ip is right | 00:21 | |
| sublim21 | edbian: it sounds like what i want to do is repartition it into all one drive, install ubuntu and a virtual with windows on it. it was suggested before that virtual box is best. | 00:21 |
| edbian | sublim21: In a dual boot situation there is no 'master os' | 00:21 |
| bcessa | astraljava: no, I admin the server completely from the terminal, but now I can't run any admin stuff cause I'm getting that syntax error on the shudders file, I wan't to fix it so I can run root stuff again as usual, right now the only way to edit the file is using that crappy web-based panel | 00:21 |
| Bsims | edbian: correct, though a prudent person dist-upgrades to testing first | 00:21 |
| astraljava | bcessa: If you truly have root privileges, then you won't need to boot into single-user mode. But you will have to tweak the file, because it's really strict about the syntax. | 00:21 |
| edbian | sublim21: You do not need a partition for virtual box / virtual machines. I suggest using the installer for ubuntu and choose the 'use whole disk' option. If you would like to manually partition I can help you do that. Partitioning right now (before using hte isntaller) is not necessary in either case | 00:22 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Okay. Did that crappy web-based panel also change that file in the first place? | 00:22 |
| astraljava | bcessa: What virtualization system are we talking about, here? | 00:22 |
| edbian | Bsims: Debian sid isn't for the produent ;) | 00:22 |
| bcessa | yes, I can edit the file, and is a virtuozzo system | 00:23 |
| Bsims | edbian: nope but comes with a great warranty... it breaks you get to keep both halves | 00:24 |
| edbian | Bsims: haha :) | 00:24 |
| sublim21 | edbian: well i have half the disc space currnetly unpartitioned. so i should start with that. i would also like to remove the current version of windows i have installed on the machine. So i think im going to go with wiping the whole thing and re-installing ubuntu along with a virtual box for windows | 00:24 |
| Bsims | edbian: though report bugs helps with that | 00:24 |
| Bsims | shows you bugs filed against the new version | 00:24 |
| edbian | sublim21: That's what I'm saying. Just boot the installer and choose 'use the entire disc' it will remove all your partitions and do Ubuntu's partition auto-matically | 00:24 |
| edbian | sublim21: I think there is no difference between that and what you're describing (except what you're describing is more work) | 00:25 |
| sublim21 | edbian: sounds good man. going to go start that after upgrading the ram on this little beast. thanks for everything man | 00:25 |
| Gremlin | Is there a recommended way of installing Gnome 3 on Lucid 10.04 LTS? I'd like to try it and then revert back if it does not work out. Also, what about Unity? Is there a recommended way to try that out? | 00:25 |
| sublim21 | edbian: its not work when you strangely enjoy it :p | 00:25 |
| edbian | sublim21: sure | 00:25 |
| edbian | sublim21: computers are never work :) | 00:26 |
| induz | wow the USB worked now | 00:27 |
| induz | but failed to get the iso via UNEBootin | 00:27 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Okay, seems like the colon and the second ALL aren't necessary. You can remove them, but there might be some whitespace errors or whatnot. I can't make them out from the pastebin entry, sorry. | 00:28 |
| LABcrab | Hello people! There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear! No matter what! Can someone help me get rid of them, please? | 00:28 |
| bcessa | astraljava thnx | 00:28 |
| * Bsims doesn't know if anyone is intersted but here is my rsync script to back up to an external drive http://paste.ubuntu.com/657567/ | 00:29 | |
| induz | how big is Linux Live in MB? | 00:29 |
| ManDrake- | I know this is a complete NooB question, but can anyone tell me how to get my install of Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize my floppy drive? | 00:29 |
| astraljava | bcessa: What version of ubuntu is this? | 00:29 |
| induz | I mean linux 549[??] | 00:29 |
| Bsims | ManDrake-: should be /dev/fd1 | 00:29 |
| Bsims | er /dev/fd0 | 00:30 |
| rosstaylor | how do you set up rotation background image in ubuntu 11.04? | 00:30 |
| astraljava | bcessa: I just tested it, and even as root, plain editing will result in a read-only instance of the file. Needed to use visudo. | 00:30 |
| ManDrake- | thanks | 00:30 |
| astraljava | bcessa: I mean, are you sure the panel thingie can actually edit the file, and save it too? | 00:30 |
| traskers | I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my laptop lid closed but still have an image appear on my external monitor. | 00:30 |
| Bsims | ManDrake-: I'd not be surprised to learn that udev doesn't speak to it anymore | 00:30 |
| LABcrab | Hello people! There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear! No matter what! Can someone help me get rid of them, please? | 00:31 |
| bcessa | astraljava: yes, I can also alter the permissions but then I get another related error | 00:31 |
| astraljava | induz: Around 700MB, due to CD sizes. | 00:31 |
| Bsims | ManDrake-: I can if needed show you how to manually set a fstab for it | 00:31 |
| ManDrake- | Bsims I'd really appreciate that | 00:31 |
| Bsims | heh not a problem | 00:31 |
| Bsims | look in /dev... see a fd0 listing if not we are going to have issues | 00:32 |
| induz | how big is mint linux | 00:33 |
| induz | or ubuntu USB Live | 00:33 |
| bcessa | all I can think of is edit sshd_config to allow direct root access, reboot the server to restart the sshd process, enter as root and try a visudo to edit the file :o | 00:33 |
| Godfiend | What is a "symbol lookup error"? | 00:33 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Interesting, would like to see the errors. But you could try to mv that /etc/sudoers file aside, and create a new one from scratch, and include only the three lines, and see how it reacts. | 00:33 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Errr... two lines. | 00:34 |
| Bsims | ManDrake-: got a /dev/fd0 listing? | 00:34 |
| sneakyimp | Can anyone tell me how I might determine which of my installed packages is responsible for a particular file or symlink? | 00:34 |
| astraljava | induz: Again, Ubuntu Live, around 700MB, due to CD size limitation. | 00:34 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: `dpkg -S </path/to/file(or)symlink> | 00:35 |
| sneakyimp | astraljava: THANKS! so cool thank you. | 00:35 |
| chocolates | Sup fagz | 00:35 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: Oops, without backticks. | 00:35 |
| astraljava | !language | chocolates | 00:36 |
| ubottu | chocolates: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 00:36 |
| Bsims | sneakyimp: dpkg -S WhatI_Want | 00:36 |
| chocolates | A Freaking Awesome Guy is bad lagn? :( | 00:36 |
| astraljava | chocolates: Some people interpret the latter word differently. | 00:36 |
| bcessa | ok, I'll try that as a last result, I'll make a new file entirely | 00:36 |
| chocolates | latter? | 00:36 |
| Bsims | ManDrake-: mind a PM if you arn't sure if you got the file? | 00:37 |
| induz | ok, it should fit in my 1gb USB | 00:37 |
| induz | I am just struggling to make it bootable first | 00:37 |
| induz | I have formatted it mahy times | 00:37 |
| sneakyimp | hmm...problem with dpkg command...i'm trying to determine who's responsible for some dangling symlinks (e.g., /lib/udev/devices/sndstat) and the dpkg -S command fails with the symlink doesn't exist | 00:37 |
| LABcrab | Hello people! There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear! No matter what! Can someone help me get rid of them, please? | 00:37 |
| induz | let me try once again with UNETBootin | 00:37 |
| astraljava | induz: You don't have to make it bootable, if you created it with usb-creator or unetbootin | 00:37 |
| induz | astraljava, somehow the usb fails to boot with Linux on it | 00:38 |
| sneakyimp | Bsims; thank you, but the dpkg command apparently only works if the symlink is a valid one. i'm trying to find the reason for some dangling symlinks | 00:38 |
| === Auriel_ is now known as Auriel | ||
| astraljava | LABcrab: Did you try #libreoffice yet? | 00:39 |
| * Bsims grins if its appartently cruft rename it via sudo mv lib/udev/devices/sndstat lib/udev/devices/sndstat.old and see what breaks... if nothing delete it | 00:39 | |
| astraljava | induz: Are you seeing any messages while it's trying to boot? | 00:39 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: Might not work for symlinks then, as they're probably created at postinst. Maybe try with the file that the link is referring to? | 00:40 |
| sneakyimp | Bims: ack. very nervous about 'seeing if something breaks'. this server not online yet ... it could take weeks to know if something broke | 00:40 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: Sorry, didn't read the later line. | 00:40 |
| induz | astraljava, no....but I am trying it again with UNETbootin and Live usb Ubuntu | 00:41 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: Then again, it should still show where it's pointing to. Try that instead of the link. | 00:41 |
| Bsims | I know but its the best idea | 00:41 |
| sneakyimp | astraljava: i was mistaken! it does work on some symlinks, just not /lib/udev/devices/sndstat -- something weird about that symlink. | 00:41 |
| Bsims | check to see if you can update udev | 00:42 |
| bcessa | no luck, even removing everything and just adding the root and user line I keep getting the same syntax error, I'll try rebooting and accessing directly as root via SSH and using visudo to edit the damn file | 00:43 |
| astraljava | sneakyimp: Umm... are you sure those are symlinks? They look like device nodes to me. | 00:44 |
| tyler_d | I am trying to install the nvidia drivers, however whenever I do x will not come back on, even after attempting to reconfigure via the grub failsafe mode. | 00:45 |
| astraljava | bcessa: If you have root logins enabled, you don't need to reboot. Rather, don't. | 00:45 |
| lder | hi, i have a subnet 192.168.254.0 and set up a route to it and can ping back and forth from my main network fine but ssh and http connections just hang. i am looking at logs and firewalls, etc. anything obvious to verify? | 00:45 |
| bcessa | amazon :o I enter as root, and even using visudo I keep getting the same syntax error, what can I do now? | 00:45 |
| bcessa | *amazing | 00:47 |
| LABcrab | :( | 00:47 |
| bcessa | oh, I'm getting a more useful message now, Converted from DOS format, now, how THAT happen :o | 00:47 |
| astraljava | bcessa: So, you're root, and you enter visudo, remove all the whitespaces, like go to the 'r' in root, hit backspace so that it moves to the line above it, press enter again, go to the end of the lines, make sure there are no whitespaces there, and save the file. Will it not complain about anything then? | 00:47 |
| astraljava | bcessa: I'd point my finger to the parallels panel (or whatever it is?) | 00:48 |
| bcessa | damn!!! I remove EVERYTHING from the file, add just: root ALL = (ALL) ALL and now I get >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 0 <<< ja | 00:49 |
| bcessa | now that's funny :) | 00:49 |
| astraljava | bcessa: It's corrupted somehow. Move it aside, and create a new one from scratch. | 00:50 |
| bcessa | question: If I remove entirely the /etc/sudoers file am I be able to run visudo and just create a new one? | 00:50 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Good question. | 00:50 |
| somsip | bcessa: maybe best to purge sudo and apt-get it again? | 00:50 |
| cmanns | yo | 00:51 |
| astraljava | bcessa: I'll need to try in a VM. | 00:51 |

| bcessa | I delete the /etc/sudoers file and run visudo to create a new one | 00:54 |
| astraljava | in3ct0r_: Not going to recommend any of them, unless absolutely needed. There's no official support for them at all, aside from the author (possibly). | 00:55 |
| astraljava | bcessa: Okay good. Nice to know it works like that. | 00:55 |

| astraljava | That was somewhat funny, but still... | 01:00 |
| astraljava | !ask | some | 01:00 |
| ubottu | some: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:00 |
| some | Well, if anyone who knows how to help me please respond. I hate not being able to shutdown the computer due to other people still logged in ot leaving programs up. so if there a way to shut down ubuntu even if other people are logged in and maybe even have programs running? or a command to shut down all those programs? | 01:00 |
| OmegaForte | some, Just type halt. That'll do it. | 01:00 |
| some | in the terminal? | 01:00 |
| OmegaForte | some, Yeah. Should do it just fine,. | 01:01 |
| some | not halt all just halt will close everything? | 01:01 |
| OmegaForte | some, Halt is the shutdown command. | 01:01 |
| some | okay. and it will shutdown weather there being programs running or people logged in? | 01:02 |
| OmegaForte | some, It's got args, -f (Force) -p (Power-off) -w wtmp logged fake shut down(?) and --verbose. | 01:03 |
| OmegaForte | some, I just use it as halt. | 01:03 |
| ezrafree | hello | 01:03 |
| ezrafree | each time i restart i have to run gnome-panel & disown ...can anyone tell me how i can get this command to run each boot up? | 01:03 |
| OmegaForte | ezrafree, I believe you can put that in the startup applications in system > preferences. | 01:04 |
| ezrafree | OmegaForte: sorry, i already do have it there, but i guess something kills it or it doesn't start? | 01:05 |

| MKDrag0n | because my card has problems with unity, wich can only be solved with these 2 drivers...its geforce go 7300... | 01:07 |

| MKDrag0n | yes | 01:07 |
| MKDrag0n | that's why im asking, between these two, wich one is better? | 01:07 |

| jodie | Whats the word on the intel i7 in the dell working with ubuntu? Any one know? | 01:11 |
| magpii | can someone give me a link to a decent video encoder for ubuntu please? | 01:11 |
| OmegaForte | jodie, I'm running an i7 on the X58. | 01:11 |
| magpii | my digital camera records in a wierd format and i need to convert it so i can edit the thing | 01:12 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, What format is it? | 01:13 |
| jodie | Was looking at the alien 17x.. Appears it would make a good duel boot.. Windows7 and ubuntu | 01:14 |
| magpii | it saves as a quick time video but when i open in avideux it comes up as a h.268 or something similar | 01:14 |
| zachsplr | Anyone know how to install adobe air on 64 bit 11.04 ubuntu? | 01:14 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, It's m4v. You're gonna want to add this ppa. https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases | 01:14 |
| jodie | zachspir.. Goto software center and search for adobe | 01:15 |
| zachsplr | That only show flash not air | 01:16 |
| OmegaForte | Hey zachsplr, google is useful. http://get.adobe.com/air/thankyou/?installer=Adobe_AIR_2.6_for_Linux_(.deb) | 01:16 |
| jodie | zachspir.. goto adobe.com downloads.. Should be a .deb package there. | 01:16 |
| clowerweb | should i make my user account root? | 01:19 |
| OmegaForte | clowerweb, No. | 01:19 |
| zachsplr | The problem for me is after I install adobe air on my 64 bit ubuntu it does not load any .air applications. For example if I try to open any kind of .air installer with Air installed it does nothing. | 01:19 |
| clowerweb | i hate using sudo for everything though :/ | 01:20 |
| OmegaForte | clowerweb, You'd still have to. | 01:20 |
| zachsplr | It seems like the installation failed somewhere... | 01:20 |
| clowerweb | is there any way to not have to? | 01:20 |
| OmegaForte | clowerweb, Because the root account is locked. You could mess with your sudoers file... | 01:20 |

| Guest99816 | how do i set up a wireless connection on a laptop? | 01:21 |
| OmegaForte | Guest99816, Click the network icon in the upper right, and choose the access point, put in informations, ????? Profit! | 01:21 |
| clowerweb | Guest it didn't find drivers for your automatically? | 01:21 |
| zachsplr | clowerweb: I believe sudo passwd root will activate the root account. By logging into root account will not have to enter sudo command... | 01:22 |
| magpii | omegaforte: thanks mate, job done | 01:22 |
| * OerHeks never heard of 12tb drives | 01:22 | |
| OmegaForte | magpii, NO PROBALO! | 01:22 |
| Doonz | OerHeks thanx for your input | 01:22 |
| OmegaForte | OerHeks, I think he's using an iSCSI device. | 01:22 |
| somsip_ | clowerweb: sudo -i | 01:22 |
| induz | is there any way i can have a whole of UBuntu on my usb stick like BartPE | 01:22 |
| OerHeks | Doonz LVM, RAID ? | 01:22 |
| OmegaForte | induz, Yeah. Just set it as the install point. | 01:23 |
| clowerweb | sudo -i will activate root? | 01:23 |
| somsip_ | clowerweb: it'll make the shell into an interactive shell with root 'permanently' in control, until you 'exit' | 01:23 |
| Doonz | 12tb raw with 9th ext2 formatted | 01:23 |
| induz | I am l have downloaded the .iso and the USB boots to but... | 01:23 |
| clowerweb | ah ok | 01:23 |
| induz | which version will fit into my 1 gb USB | 01:24 |
| clowerweb | i'm on kubuntu, so i can just enter that into the terminal in dolphin and it will have a root session until closed? | 01:24 |
| OmegaForte | induz, Latest will work, but it'd be live mode. An install would bloat to fill that twice over. | 01:24 |
| comfortsuites | whats ubuntus equivalent of windows 'ipconfig' | 01:25 |
| OmegaForte | comfortsuites, Like for what, dropping dhcp and such? | 01:25 |
| somsip_ | !ifconfig | 01:25 |
| induz | and how can i install that on my usb | 01:25 |
| somsip_ | (is one, but might not do everything you want) | 01:25 |
| induz | I am lloking for a standlaone linux to run from usb | 01:26 |
| induz | no instalation on HDD | 01:26 |
| comfortsuites | how do i see dns info | 01:26 |
| pushpop | I need to install several dependencies when I try to install one package what apt-get install arugement would i use to fore the install of all | 01:26 |
| th0r | comfortsuites: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 01:26 |
| magpii | how do i kill a frozen app? | 01:26 |
| th0r | comfortsuites: and for the other ip info use ifconfig | 01:26 |
| OmegaForte | induz, you'd be basically copying a live cd to the thumbstick. It'd run fine, but like a live cd. If you want a built distro, look for damnsmall linux, or google about for slimming ubuntu down. | 01:27 |
| clowerweb | ok, so anyone have an idea why phpmyadmin is saying: #13 - Can't get stat of './test' (Errcode: 13) when trying to create a database? | 01:27 |
| somsip_ | !xkill | magpii | 01:27 |
| magpii | whats the full path in terminal? | 01:27 |
| OmegaForte | You'd be typing xkill | 01:27 |
| somsip_ | magpii: should be in path...ah - good point OmegaForte | 01:27 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, After you type xkill, it'll let you click one application, and it will sack it. | 01:27 |
| magpii | ok cheers amigos | 01:28 |
| clowerweb | looks like error 13 is a permissions error | 01:28 |
| clowerweb | logged into phpmyadmin under root, so that shouldn't happen | 01:28 |
| OmegaForte | Ugh god.. | 01:28 |
| OmegaForte | What are you doing.. | 01:29 |
| OmegaForte | clowerweb, What are you trying to do? | 01:29 |
| somsip_ | clowerweb: phpmyadmin only has www-data permissions. root is the db user | 01:29 |
| clowerweb | trying to create a database in phpmyadmin | 01:29 |
| OmegaForte | I'm done. | 01:29 |
| clowerweb | so do i have to change folder perms in the filesystem somewhere? | 01:29 |

| Luig1 | Hi there. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm wondering if there's some way to install Xfce 4.8 through apt | 01:35 |
| Od3n | so I boot up and it give me a few options 2 of which are recovery options | 01:35 |
| OmegaForte | Od3n, Okay, that's normal. | 01:35 |
| jodie | luig1.. do aptitude search xfce | 01:36 |
| Od3n | well sort of cause what it really do is just boot up for the most part | 01:36 |
| Od3n | so I pick recovery and it loads then I just get stuck with (initramfs) | 01:37 |
| magpii | wow. handbrake is awesome. took me ages on adobe premier, this is like a woodpecker on speed | 01:37 |
| Luig1 | Well jodie, I'm using Xfce 4.6.2 right now, but that seems to be the latest version in the repositories I have | 01:37 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Get used to it. Linux is far superior. | 01:38 |
| magpii | omegaforte: indeed. i am still a bit green with the system but its rocking so far | 01:38 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, All of my windows games (Killing Floor, BC2, others) perform far better in linux than they do in windows. I've seen average gains of 20% in decreased load times and better speed. | 01:38 |

| grmrgecko | http://ubuntunation.org/?p=828 | 01:43 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, You got choices. Wine suffers regressions time and again, so there's stable builds, and beta builds. I'm running 1.2.2 right now. | 01:43 |
| grmrgecko | I see that and can follow it | 01:43 |
| grmrgecko | however, if I was to do this would my site go down until I contact and admin at the server place to reinstall? | 01:44 |
| magpii | omegafort: is that the one in the list that reads something like microshite compatability layer meta package? | 01:45 |
| Od3n | so this issue I am having with initramfs is it something that can be saved or am I going to have to reinstalled Ubuntu | 01:45 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, easiest way to do it is to install winetricks. It'll install the stable build it's made for. | 01:45 |

| galamar | Hello all. I have a hauppauge itvc16 card and I can not figure out how to make it work with the video programs I have install (mythtv, kaffeine, and many others.) the card is detected and I can use it with a program called "kamoso" which is for my webcam (I think this is weird). I think the problem is my card doesn't show up in the expected location but I'm not sure. Kamoso uses it at /dev/video33 the other apps look for it in /dev/video0 | 01:46 |
| galamar | but that is my webcam??? and I cannot redirect the apps default location settings. I am lost. | 01:46 |

| bsmith093 | thats all though, no problems applying them, but how do i flush the repos completely, and redownload them | 01:48 |

| Tom^ | !better | 01:50 |
| ubottu | 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. | 01:50 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Just hit tab. Autocomplete works in linux, typically global. | 01:50 |
| clowerweb | @bsmith093 - does it say something is locked when you click on details after it fails? | 01:50 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: ahh lol, thats miles better | 01:50 |

| OmegaForte | graft, GIMP./ | 01:57 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: i installed through the synaptic package manager in the ubuntu menu | 01:57 |
| graft | OmegaForte: GIMP edits SVG? | 01:57 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: where is the ububtu one? | 01:57 |
| OmegaForte | graft, Gimp edits everything. | 01:57 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, It's the last entry in the applications list. I think the one you used. | 01:57 |
| semeion | no | 01:57 |
| clowerweb | graft: or you could virtualbox windows and use illustrator :P | 01:57 |
| clowerweb | or try installing via wine | 01:58 |
| OmegaForte | clowerweb, Yeah, basically requiring you to pay for software. | 01:58 |
| semeion | OmegaForte: svg is vector | 01:58 |
| semeion | OmegaForte: try inkscape for it | 01:58 |
| OmegaForte | semeion, Yeah, I know. | 01:58 |
| clowerweb | true, but it's an option :P | 01:58 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: ahh, the ubuntu software centre? | 01:58 |
| OmegaForte | semeion, But I use gimp for everything. It even does SVG's, PDF's, PSD's, whatever I put in it, it uses. So, I don't muck about with inkscape. | 01:58 |
| graft | OmegaForte: err, this just rasterizes the SVG, poorly | 01:58 |
| OmegaForte | graft, I've had no issues with it. | 01:59 |
| graft | clowerweb: yeah, that's something i'd rather avoid | 01:59 |
| graft | OmegaForte: what's the point of an SVG editor that doesn't let you do vector editing? | 01:59 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: in the software center it says its installed | 01:59 |
| Grey_King | somsip_, got it | 01:59 |
| clowerweb | graft: me too, unfortunately i have to use Photoshop for work, but i just run windows 7 in virtualbox with PS, works quite well | 01:59 |
| Grey_King | somsip_, cat passwd | sed -e 's/\s/\n/g' | 01:59 |
| somsip_ | Grey_King: cool - glad you worked it out. Regex often makes me weep... | 02:00 |

| Grey_King | somsip_ agreed | 02:01 |
| plasticwidow | Hi, I could use some help with installing Ubuntu 11.4 over a previous distro on a computer that also has Windows XP | 02:01 |
| OmegaForte | plasticwidow, Easy. Use the guided install from the disc, and choose the previous linux install by choosing the drive that has ext3, or ext4. | 02:02 |
| graft | plasticwidow: is the previous distro on its own partition? | 02:02 |
| plasticwidow | its on its own harddisk, when I try to use the install guide, it tries to put it on a partition with the Windows XP | 02:03 |
| OmegaForte | plasticwidow, It also allows you to to choose to simply replace the previous linux distro. | 02:03 |
| plasticwidow | there's no option to replace it | 02:03 |
| magpii | is the xp partition the full drive? | 02:03 |
| aron | im | 02:03 |
| plasticwidow | its two out of three drives | 02:03 |
| plasticwidow | the third drive was the linux distro | 02:03 |
| === aron is now known as Guest57685 | ||
| clowerweb | look for the drive with the ext partition and install it there | 02:04 |
| graft | plasticwidow: and the installer doesn't let you select that drive to install? | 02:04 |
| clowerweb | the fat32/ntfs partition(s) are windows | 02:04 |
| Guest57685 | im trying to watch a movie in parole but it says cant initialise xv output. any idea what this means? | 02:04 |
| plasticwidow | we're going back to the screen that's reading the disk info | 02:05 |
| plasticwidow | sorry... we're new to ubuntu/linux | 02:05 |
| graft | Guest57685: try using a different video driver | 02:05 |
| magpii | same here, still finding my way around | 02:05 |
| clowerweb | me too | 02:05 |
| plasticwidow | the message we get: no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu | 02:06 |
| plasticwidow | this is where we are lost | 02:06 |
| Guest57685 | graft: like what? | 02:06 |
| plasticwidow | the old one had grub and taht worked just fine | 02:06 |
| plasticwidow | we wanted to install over the old grub system, the new version. a clean full install | 02:06 |
| clowerweb | plasticwindow: they all have grub, select the partition with the ext filesystem, that's the old distro, and install it there | 02:06 |
| magpii | not sure about the partition side of install. | 02:06 |
| plasticwidow | and we get that error message about the root file system | 02:06 |
| graft | Guest57685: hmm, parole doesn't seem to let you select that... are you wedded to that? I prefer SMPlayer | 02:07 |
| plasticwidow | when he does that we get the no root system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu | 02:07 |
| plasticwidow | we're not sure what to do | 02:07 |
| magpii | if your patient enough, i am sure someone on here may be able to help you out | 02:07 |
| clowerweb | i think you have to select a mount point | 02:07 |
| plasticwidow | the only options it gives us for anything on that disk is change, delete, revert | 02:07 |
| magpii | have you tried typing the error message in google? | 02:07 |
| clowerweb | or it might be called boot something | 02:08 |
| galamar | Is there a better place to get help with tvcards? | 02:08 |

| arooni-mobile | ubuntu 11.04 does not recognize my casio digital camera when i plug it in.... any ideas on how to fix? | 02:08 |
| plasticwidow | ok, we'll look up in google | 02:08 |
| graft | plasticwidow: can you describe the steps you go through? | 02:09 |
| clowerweb | that's probably the best idea because it's hard to remember all the install screens to recall how to do it | 02:09 |
| magpii | google isnt the best option, though it is an option while you wait and see if someone has the time to help on here | 02:09 |
| clowerweb | yeah you need someone who remembers the install screens and options lol | 02:10 |
| Guest57685 | graft: I tried to install mplayer and it says its installed but i cant find it. yhis is a fresh install | 02:10 |
| magpii | if you type the message in google, chances are you will stumble across a forum post aabout it | 02:10 |
| graft | Guest57685: mplayer is the command-line program... SMPlayer is a nice front-end for that | 02:10 |
| Guest57685 | graft: how to get it? | 02:11 |
| graft | Guest57685: should be in the ubuntu software center | 02:11 |
| plasticwidow | steps: we place the 11.04 distro on USB, it boots up from USB, and I choose the install Ubuntu 11.04 install, it offers some options, having detected I have another O/S installed, I choose install alongside, it wants to put it apparently in the Windows C drive, previously I had another drive for my earlier Ubuntu. When I go to the allocate drive space I can see the EXT3 extention where it | 02:12 |
| plasticwidow | should be on my 250 gig drive. When I choose install now, I get the message: no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu | 02:12 |
| magpii | clowerweb: keep typing your query in here periodically as you also search google, someone may have the answer but may be afk on here | 02:12 |
| plasticwidow | it shows two partitions on the /sda .. ext 3 ... and the swap | 02:12 |
| OmegaForte | plasticwidow, Just use that drive. | 02:12 |
| plasticwidow | we tried to use that drive, and it says no root file system defined, please correct this from the partioning menu, it won't allow us to use it without doing that | 02:13 |
| plasticwidow | and we don't know how to do that | 02:13 |
| plasticwidow | should we delete the ext3 and swap partitions? and change it to mount? or .. ext4 journaling file system .. mount point? | 02:14 |
| OmegaForte | Ext4. | 02:14 |
| plasticwidow | and what should the mount point be? | 02:14 |
| OmegaForte | plasticwidow, / | 02:14 |
| plasticwidow | ok, so change t5hat to ext4? | 02:15 |
| plasticwidow | we want to format the partition | 02:15 |
| OmegaForte | Yeah | 02:15 |
| plasticwidow | and what should the mount point be? | 02:15 |

| === FIXEDMYNAS is now known as KM0201 | ||
| plasticwidow | ok, apparently it wants a mount point I guess, and I guess /boot or /home? | 02:17 |
| plasticwidow | does it matter? | 02:17 |
| somsip_ | plasticwidow: / one slash root | 02:17 |
| plasticwidow | ok | 02:17 |
| plasticwidow | it comes with the pull down menu does not offer / root | 02:18 |
| OmegaForte | Home then | 02:18 |
| graft | plasticwidow: he means '/', not '/root' | 02:18 |
| plasticwidow | so just forward slash | 02:18 |
| OmegaForte | Yeah | 02:18 |
| graft | yes | 02:18 |
| plasticwidow | ok | 02:18 |
| magpii | plasticwidow: to message someone personally, begin typing the first letters of their user name and then click the tab button. saves time and stops your message coming up in general chat | 02:18 |
| plasticwidow | and just leave the swap partition file alone? | 02:18 |
| OmegaForte | Yeah | 02:19 |
| plasticwidow | ok, sorry.. lol | 02:19 |
| clowerweb | magpii: i didn't have any open questions :P | 02:19 |
| plasticwidow | ooo.. it seems to be working, many many thank you's !!!!!!! ... I give everyone free internets!!!! tnx :) | 02:20 |
| magpii | plasticwidow: lol, it just stops people seeing you replying to a personal message in genral chat, looks like your talking to yourself lol | 02:20 |

| graft | Docfxit: also, don't delete anything in /etc | 02:39 |
| Docfxit | When I put in cd \etc in lower case it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found Exactly as I have typed it. I type it in in lower case. | 02:40 |
| graft | Docfxit: should be /etc, not \etc | 02:41 |
| Docfxit | I am in root@UbuntuAsterisk:~# | 02:41 |
| graft | Docfxit: and i suspect what it said the second time is bash: cd: etc: No such file or directory | 02:41 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, cd /etc not cd \etc | 02:41 |
| KM0201 | whya re you logged in as root anyway? | 02:42 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, are you coming from windows ? | 02:42 |
| Docfxit | Sorry. I tried cd /etc in lower case and it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found | 02:43 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, are you logged in as root? | 02:43 |
| Docfxit | Yes. | 02:43 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, type exit | 02:43 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, then try cd /etc | 02:43 |
| Docfxit | I typed exit. Now I'm not logged in as root. I tried cd /etc in lower case and it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found | 02:44 |
| graft | where the heck is that dash coming from? | 02:44 |
| voglster | Docfxit, lowercase | 02:44 |
| KM0201 | voglster: he says he is lowercase. | 02:45 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, ok let me ask ,, have you been using root for a time including installing and uninstalling and making settings changes? | 02:45 |
| Docfxit | Everything I type in is in lowercase. | 02:45 |
| voglster | KM0201, i just noticed :-( | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | coz_: BINGO!!! | 02:45 |
| Docfxit | coz_ No. | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | yeah right. | 02:45 |
| graft | that woldn't do anything anyway, cd is a shell built-in | 02:46 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, what it sounds like might be happening ,, because of being logged in as root,, is that you may have screwed with permissions | 02:46 |
| Infernet | Docfxit: sudo cd /etc | 02:46 |
| voglster | how did Docfxit become root? sudo bash -i | 02:46 |
| graft | unless he rewrote the bash executable, there's no way to destroy it | 02:46 |
| KM0201 | voglster: sudo -i is the most acceptable way | 02:46 |
| KM0201 | but you have some people who sudo su - and set a root password, etc.. (which is not supported) | 02:46 |

| Blair | <Blair> I am trying to make a windows 7 bootable usb from ubuntu 10.10 | 02:49 |
| Blair | <Blair> and unetbootin creates it from the iso | 02:49 |
| Blair | <Blair> but when I try to boot from it, the bootloader shows nothing. | 02:49 |
| Blair | <Blair> what step am I missing out? ive tried it like 10 times | 02:49 |
| FloodBot1 | Blair: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:49 |
| Blair | sorry my apologies | 02:49 |
| pythonirc101 | graft: for some reason i'm having ssh key issued with mussh | 02:49 |
| pythonirc101 | I can login without any password but mussh tells me some Active key error | 02:49 |
| KM0201 | Blair: you cannot put a Win 7 ISO, ona thumb drive, w/ Unetbootin, that will never work, you need to google some different tools | 02:50 |
| voglster | Docfxit, quick and dirty... grab .bashrc from /root/ and put it in your home directory... change permissions on it so you own it... | 02:50 |
| voglster | Docfxit, you wont see any changes until you login on another shell | 02:50 |
| voglster | Blair, you need to use the window bootloader to do something like that.. there are plenty of guides for that | 02:51 |
| graft | pythonirc101: seems like you could just write a shell script to do this yourself... i assume you have all your hosts set up with password-less keys | 02:51 |
| Blair | Voglster: I cant find anything that i havent tried. a possible link to one i might have missed? | 02:52 |
| Cerrdor | Ok wierd question is there a way to have the terminal display what program is running in it and not say "Terminal" at the top? | 02:52 |
| Docfxit | voglster, Maybe i should just re-boot the machine. | 02:52 |
| slack-m | 5v5 scrim now! pm me | 02:52 |
| Cerrdor | like it would say "Netstat" or "Whatever" | 02:52 |
| voglster | slack-m, wrong channel ;-) | 02:52 |
| KM0201 | Blair: i can guarantee you, any "linux tool" (unetbootin, pen drive linux, etc..) will be a total waste of time. | 02:52 |
| Blair | KM0201: I have done it with unetbootin from windows, and it can be done with linux i just cant find how | 02:52 |
| Docfxit | voglster. I'm afraid that if I reboot with zero space it might not start back up. | 02:52 |
| voglster | Docfxit, couldnt hurt | 02:52 |
| voglster | Docfxit, you have zero space? | 02:53 |
| slack-m | voglster, holy shit | 02:53 |

| voglster | just rm /blah/blah/file | 02:54 |
| Blair | KM0201: with windows you run it through command | 02:54 |
| Cerrdor | ok second question is there a way to get files to show up one color directories another etc in the terminal? | 02:54 |
| KM0201 | Docfxit: if you're that tight for space, why not just reinstall, and clear up some more space?.. (or spend a LOT of time w/a partition editor) | 02:55 |
| w30 | Blair, have you got a windows iso? | 02:55 |
| Blair | w30: yes | 02:55 |
| PlanckWalk | When copying data DVDs with K3B and verifying, it looks like it verifies the N'th copy N times. Not good when copying a given disk 40 times. | 02:55 |
| voglster | PlanckWalk, stop verifying ;-) | 02:55 |
| PlanckWalk | Yeah, that's the workaround I'm using :-/ | 02:56 |
| voglster | hehe | 02:56 |
| w30 | Blair, Usb-creator will make a bootable flash drive from any bootable cd iso | 02:56 |
| PlanckWalk | I didn't notice at first since the DVD only has about 900 MB of data on it, and so it goes fairly fast. | 02:56 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, you can also do gksudo nautilus and delete , drag and drop,,etc right from nautilus | 02:56 |
| PlanckWalk | But by the 5th copy it was getting pretty slow. | 02:57 |
| Blair | w30: is it in the repositories? | 02:57 |
| w30 | Blair, yes and you can get up to 4gig (depends on flash drive size) configuration space. | 02:58 |
| Blair | w30: thats to make ubuntu from windows, i need to make windows from ubuntu | 02:58 |
| Docfxit | coz_, When I gksudo nautilus I get a message saying: Failed to run nautilus as user root. Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | 02:58 |
| coz_ | Docfxit, you have permissions issues then | 02:59 |
| Cerrdor | ok second question is there a way to get files to show up one color directories another etc in the terminal? | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | .. | 02:59 |
| w30 | Blair, usb-creator is a linux (ubuntu) app that makes bootable flash drives from a bootable iso, either mac,windows,ubuntu, fedora whatever | 02:59 |
| th0r | Cerrdor: there is a colour option for ls, or at least there used to be. Check the man page | 03:00 |

| somsip_ | Docfxit: previous days old logs | 03:13 |
| Northernen | When shrinking an ext4 partition, is there are a way to make certain that no data is lost in the process? | 03:13 |
| somsip_ | Docfxit: if you know what services you're running you could be selective and just rm, say, mysql*.gz | 03:13 |
| Docfxit | somsip_, Thanks. I don't see why I would need any logs. Especially old ones. | 03:14 |
| === somsip_ is now known as somsip | ||
| somsip | Docfxit: well if they're not important, it could clear some drive space so you can do...something more than you can now. With what you say, it could be you have excess undeleted logs | 03:15 |
| tripelb | Northernen, I have that question but I didnt state it as techie as you did and I got ignored time and again. Please tell me with my nick in the line when you get a good answer. Much thanks. | 03:16 |
| Cerrdor | hmm | 03:16 |
| Cerrdor | .bashrc keeps bringing up an empty file | 03:16 |
| Cerrdor | maybe thats why nothing is in color | 03:17 |
| Cerrdor | lol | 03:17 |
| Loshki | Northernen: the same way we've always done it. By having a complete backup of the data 'just in case'.... | 03:17 |
| === MoMo__ is now known as MoMo | ||
| Northernen | Will do, tripelb. | 03:18 |
| w30 | Blair, the program actually makes a mbr on the flash drive not just copying the iso to it. 2 different things one boots the other don't\ | 03:18 |
| Northernen | Loshki, aye, I intend to do so, but I would rather have to do a full recovery. | 03:18 |
| MoMo | Question: what file do i edit -- run commands on boot before anyone logs in? | 03:18 |
| aibrahim | hello | 03:18 |
| somsip | MoMo: /etc/rc.local | 03:19 |
| Blair | w30: i still cant find the program, can you get me a link please | 03:19 |
| graft | Cerrdor: cp ~root/.bashrc ~/ | 03:19 |
| Blair | w30: its not in my repository | 03:19 |
| aibrahim | i have installed archlinux on /dev/sda8 and then install ubuntu with grub2 on /dev/sda7, grub2 add two lines for archlinux but with the name ubuntu 6.38 on /dev/sda8 and when i proceed with it i got ubuntu not archlinux | 03:20 |
| aibrahim | how can i fix that or how cn i add another linux system with grub2 | 03:20 |
| aibrahim | ? | 03:20 |
| Cerrdor | cp: cannot stat `/root/.bashrc': No such file or directory | 03:20 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: truy copying from /etc/skel | 03:21 |
| aibrahim | please can anyone help me | 03:21 |
| aibrahim | ? | 03:21 |
| Cerrdor | cp: cannot stat `/home/phr34k/etc/skel/.bashrc': No such file or directory | 03:22 |
| magn3ts | Hi, I'd like to reset the permissions of my home directory to safe, reasonable defaults, but I'm not sure what to do so that I won't upset things that use locks, etc, as hidden files in my home directory. | 03:22 |
| magn3ts | Also, I'd like to prevent others from being able to read my files in my home dir. | 03:22 |
| w30 | Blair, its called usb-creator-common and usb-creator-gtk. when you choose usb-creator-gtk it adds usb-creator-common | 03:22 |
| Docfxit | somsip, I ran rm -rf /var/log/*.gz Double Commander didn't show any more available space even though it deleted a lot of files. Disk usage analyzer shows 202.8 gb available. | 03:23 |
| somsip | Docfxit: so when you say you have no space, what is telling you that? | 03:23 |
| Blair | w30: that isnt loading the iso when i select it | 03:23 |
| Cerrdor | should I use this one? /etc/bashrc | 03:24 |
| Northernen | aibrahim, need to edit grub config. Shouldnt be a problem. | 03:24 |
| Blair | w30: It shows up, i click open, but then it doesnt load it | 03:24 |
| w30 | Blair, have you got your flash drive stuck into the usb port? | 03:24 |
| WinCamXP | I was kinda bored, so I came here. | 03:25 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: If you mean /etc/bash.bashrc, I hink that's system wide that then calls .bashrc in /home/user. Do you not have /etc/skel/.bashrc? | 03:25 |
| WinCamXP | I just finished getting Ubuntu installed on my Floridian friend's laptop | 03:26 |
| itrebal | I installed Debian server, but for various reasons I need to switch to Ubuntu server. I'm successfully booting off of a ubuntu-server USB key, but it seems to just drop me back into the Debian bootloader. Is this common behavior? or is it likely I've messed something else up along the line? Also, how would I go about booting to the live-"CD" | 03:26 |
| WinCamXP | he's not a techy person, but he likes it because it's really fast and visually appealing | 03:26 |
| Cerrdor | cp: cannot stat `~etc/skel/.bashrc': No such file or directory | 03:26 |
| Cerrdor | guess not? | 03:26 |
| Docfxit | I had no space before I deleted a bunch of files I knew I could get rid of. | 03:26 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: /etc... not ~etc... | 03:26 |
| Cerrdor | oh crap | 03:27 |
| Cerrdor | figures | 03:27 |
| somsip | Docfxit: so what is he issue now? I thought it was one of insufficient drive space | 03:27 |
| MoMo | somsip: i put startx in /etc/rc.local ... but it still brings me to the text login | 03:27 |
| wols_ | itrebal: server installer is the same as the debian installer afaik, but it still installs ubuntu afaik. and there are tons of howtos to put the desktop installer on a usb stick | 03:27 |
| Cerrdor | cp: cannot stat `/etc/skel/.bashrc': No such file or directory | 03:27 |
| ezrafree | hello, i already have "gnome-panel" in my startup applications, but i still have to manually run gnome-panel each time i boot up, how could i look into this? | 03:27 |
| somsip | MoMo: I don't belelive that's the right way to startx on boot. You need a display maanger or you need to autologin a user on boot, hen startx in .bashrc | 03:28 |
| Cerrdor | when I ls in etc I do see a skel | 03:28 |
| itrebal | wols_: of course, the problem is that GRUB is listing the Debian and Debian - Recovery boot options, and nothing for an Ubuntu installer. I've successfully put the server installer onto the USB stick and am booting to it currently. | 03:28 |
| Cerrdor | so what gives | 03:28 |
| Blair | w30: yeah i do, it sees the usb drive | 03:28 |
| MoMo | somsip: i did apt-get install gdm? | 03:28 |
| Cerrdor | phr34k@phr34k-virtualmachine:/etc/skel$ ls | 03:29 |
| Cerrdor | Desktop Documents output Pictures testapp Videos | 03:29 |
| wols_ | !info gdm3 | 03:29 |
| ubottu | Package gdm3 does not exist in natty | 03:29 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: dunno. If you just want a skeleton .bashrc probably best to dl one | 03:29 |
| wols_ | MoMo: then it should start automatically (gdm that is) | 03:29 |
| itrebal | wols_: rather, it *appears* its booting to the USB stick, even though nothing seems to fail when I only enable USB booting, and explicitly boot to that disk. | 03:29 |
| Cerrdor | ok | 03:29 |
| Cerrdor | and copy it to where? | 03:30 |
| MoMo | wols_: it doesn't -- did i miss a step? all i did was apt-get install gdm | 03:30 |
| Cerrdor | ./home/phr34k | 03:30 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: for your version of ubuntu...copy it to /home/cerrdor/.bashrc (or whatever your home dir is called) | 03:30 |
| k_sze | How do I find out what kernel module is being used to drive a device connected by USB? | 03:30 |
| Cerrdor | ok | 03:30 |
| Docfxit | somsip, I think I'm fine now. I am able to get around because Double Comander is working since the space is freed up some. | 03:30 |
| somsip | Docfxit: cool | 03:30 |
| Blair | w30: i have usb creator, I have a freshly formatted USB drive in as sdb1 | 03:31 |
| w30 | Blair, you got me there, I had no trouble making a bootable flash drive on my Ubuntu 11.04 | 03:31 |
| Docfxit | somsip, I wish I knew what else I could do to clean up this machine. It seems to be less and less space available. | 03:31 |
| Blair | w30: alright, cheers for ya help ill keep at it. | 03:31 |
| Loshki | MoMo: what OS version did you install? The desktop versions usually come with X11/gdm 'out of the box'... | 03:32 |
| somsip | Docfxit: so you need to focus on what is filling it up. Logs maybe | 03:33 |
| w30 | Blair, usb-creator wipes your flash drive and reformats every thing left after the boot partition also | 03:33 |
| cane99 | hello | 03:34 |
| Cerrdor | ok I saved it and now my cursor is over like 40 charachters from > | 03:34 |
| Cerrdor | how can I correct that | 03:34 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: edit the bit that refers to PS1. There will be a condition that depends on $color_prompt. Sounds like you're picking up the long prompt | 03:35 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: though if $color_prompt is not being set and it should be, the source problem is elsewhere | 03:36 |
| MoMo | Loshki: nm got it -- had to do /usr/sbin/gdm in the rc.local -- can't do just gdm .. thats silly -- silly goose me | 03:36 |
| Cerrdor | { | 03:36 |
| Cerrdor | unset PROMPT_COMMAND | 03:36 |
| Cerrdor | ? | 03:36 |
| wols_ | MoMo: you did it wrong | 03:37 |
| wols_ | MoMo: gdm (and if desired autologin) are not started via rc.local but its own upstart job | 03:37 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: just above that PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' | 03:37 |
| wols_ | MoMo: why didn't gdm start automatically ever since you installed it | 03:37 |
| Cerrdor | nothin there | 03:39 |
| Cerrdor | or I mean no debian_chroot | 03:40 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: I don't understand what you're referring to with debian chroot | 03:40 |
| Cerrdor | somsip> Cerrdor: just above that PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' | 03:40 |
| Cerrdor | there is no $debian_chroot value | 03:40 |
| Cerrdor | or do you mean just add it | 03:41 |
| somsip | Cerrdor: what version ubuntu? | 03:41 |
| Cerrdor | uname -a? | 03:42 |
| Cerrdor | 2.6.32-33-generic #71-Ubuntu | 03:42 |

| aeon-ltd | magpii: they'll probably do that at #winehq | 03:43 |
| magpii | aeon-ltd: thanks | 03:43 |
| wols_ | Cerrdor: where does this "debian_chroot" come from? | 03:44 |
| somsip | wols_: it's in .bashrc | 03:44 |
| Lasers | wols_: Default Ubuntu Bashrc. I suspect. | 03:45 |
| Docfxit | somsip, Thank you very much for your help. | 03:47 |
| somsip | Docfxit: you're welcome. Glad you got it sorted | 03:47 |

| goddard | does usb 3.0 work with ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| xangua | goddard: if you use a recent kernel, yes | 04:01 |
| goddard | 11.04 recent enough | 04:01 |
| xangua | don't know wich kernel began to support it | 04:01 |
| goddard | xangua: well im up to date and it isn't working | 04:02 |
| confezzor | what are trying to use with the 3.0? | 04:03 |
| goddard | xangua: it says i have a 3.0 root hub is this the usb 3.0 layer? | 04:03 |
| goddard | its a 3 TB external hard drive | 04:03 |
| confezzor | what brand? | 04:03 |
| goddard | seagate | 04:03 |
| confezzor | hhhmm i never used seagate on linux..i've used WD...but i can't see why it shouldn't work.. | 04:04 |
| coz_ | confezzor, I have seagate scsi drives here, | 04:05 |

| boywonder | hi my question is i want to remote desktop my ubuntu through windows what are my options? | 04:05 |
| boywonder | ie windows controls ubuntu! | 04:06 |
| confezzor | VNC | 04:06 |
| goddard | confezzor: i it does attach to a special adapater | 04:06 |
| confezzor | boywonder | 04:06 |
| boywonder | is that the only way | 04:06 |
| cipherboy_loc | @boywonder you could use VNC, but it is not recommended as it is not secure. | 04:06 |
| somsip | confezzor: seagate SATA internal here with no problems, but I don't think that helps coz | 04:06 |
| goddard | http://www.buy.com/prod/seagate-freeagent-goflex-desk-stac3000101-3-tb-external-hard-drive-usb/q/loc/101/217601465.html | 04:06 |
| wols_ | boywonder: vino. part of gnome. or any other VNC server | 04:06 |
| goddard | think thats the drive | 04:06 |
| wols_ | !vnc | 04:06 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 04:06 |
| Trfsrfr | While surfing the web, I clicked into a 'This is probably not the site you're looking for!!!" all red and everything. How much should this worry me? | 04:07 |
| wols_ | !doesn't work | goddard | 04:07 |
| ubottu | goddard: 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. | 04:07 |
| Trfsrfr | I went ahead anyway | 04:07 |
| boywonder | confezzor, it would only be locally, is that secure? | 04:07 |
| boywonder | i want to put my laptop downstairs | 04:07 |
| confezzor | yea boywonder you can use VNC on Windows just fine | 04:07 |
| wols_ | boywonder: if it's only in your home LAN it should be, since your Home LAN itself is hopefully secure | 04:07 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||

| Gryllz | So what do people recommend unity or gnome 3, for the 11.04? I am looking at coverting from windows. I have use backtrack in the past to play around... | 04:10 |
| goddard | Gryllz: I like Unity | 04:10 |
| confezzor | Gnome3 | 04:10 |
| goddard | Gryllz: takes some getting use to | 04:10 |
| goddard | Gryllz: but i am sure you will see the logic in the design | 04:10 |
| confezzor | have you used backtrack 5..it's awesome | 04:11 |
| Gryllz | I guess it comes down to preference too | 04:11 |
| Gryllz | Yeah bt5 rocks | 04:11 |
| somsip | confezzor: have you used awesome? It's....a bit weird... | 04:11 |
| samuelsfam | hello dudez | 04:11 |
| confezzor | somsip..no i never heard of that | 04:11 |
| boywonder | ok to my second question what do i use for ssh on a windows box, cygwin putty? | 04:11 |
| somsip | confezzor: tiling WM. Anyway...OT | 04:12 |
| Gryllz | Is unity to much like windows. And do you think they are moving away from the roots of ubuntu? Just to try and covert windows users? | 04:13 |
| G00053 | can ubuntu detect 10.04 i86 detect more then 3 gigs of ram ? | 04:13 |
| coz_ | Gryllz, part of the move is to gain more users yes | 04:14 |
| confezzor | no more like mac you can say..but mac has copied them alot...Gnome 3 i love but know windows 8 is coping them as well | 04:14 |
| confezzor | now* | 04:14 |
| coz_ | Gryllz, however,, most platforms are moving towards t he appliance interface due to netbooks | 04:14 |
| confezzor | and tablets | 04:14 |
| confezzor | interface | 04:14 |
| Gryllz | Hmm | 04:14 |
| coz_ | Gryllz, its not just ubuntu | 04:14 |
| somsip | G00053: You have to use the PAE kernel | 04:14 |
| Gryllz | Yeah true | 04:14 |
| coz_ | Gryllz, it is a trend,, that I personally hope doesnt last long :) | 04:14 |
| Gryllz | Me too | 04:15 |
| confezzor | same here... | 04:15 |
| confezzor | i love the cloud but i don't want to live in it 24/7 | 04:15 |
| somsip | but this is the flexibility of Linux - drop the DE and use something else | 04:15 |

| confezzor | goddard what kind of PC do you have? | 04:29 |
| hashitish | somsip: or anyone reading: http://paste.ubuntu.com/657653/ -- http://goo.gl/vmNcV coping all of this will work just as good ? | 04:29 |
| mediabox | does anyone know how to get SB Audigy working (SB0090) in Ubuntu 10.04? | 04:29 |
| nickhs | mediabox: is this on a laptop or a desktop and does your machine have onboard audio? | 04:31 |
| confezzor | is that a sound card | 04:31 |
| mediabox | nickhs, onboard audio yes, it is a desktop with a PCI Sound Blaster Audigy Card installed | 04:32 |
| === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler | ||
| coz_ | mediabox, I am checking now hold on | 04:32 |
| nickhs | mediabox: have you disabled the onboard sound card/selected the PCI card in the computer BIOS? | 04:32 |
| hashitish | so basically svn is another form of wget | 04:32 |
| goddard | nickhs: ok doing that | 04:32 |
| goddard | somsip: ill pastebin it | 04:32 |
| Pici | hashitish: subversion is a version control system, | 04:33 |
| nickhs | goddard: sure, no rush | 04:33 |
| somsip | hashitish: possibly. I'd suggestyou install mercury and clone the repo,but I only ever used mercury once so who knows | 04:33 |
| mediabox | nickhs no, they should both be usable | 04:33 |
| Pici | !vcs | 04:33 |
| ubottu | Version Control Systems offered for Ubuntu: Centralized: !CVS, !Subversion | Distributed: Bazaar-NG(!bzr), Codeville, Darcs, !git, Mercurial, Monotone, SVK, tig. | 04:33 |
| mediabox | nickhs lspci doesn't even show the card | 04:33 |
| somsip | hashitish: s/mercury/mercurial | 04:33 |
| nickhs | mediabox: pastebin the output of cat /proc/asound/card please | 04:33 |
| mediabox | nickhs I was reading that it uses the emu10k1 module, but it does not load automatically | 04:33 |
| coz_ | mediabox, then you will most likely have to disable onboard sound | 04:33 |
| mediabox | does anyone know of an alsa config utility? There is a pretty nice one in Puppy, but I forget what it is | 04:34 |
| coz_ | mediabox, read through this first ,, and then you can also log onto #pulseaudio and #alsa channels | 04:34 |
| coz_ | mediabox, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 04:35 |
| confezzor | they have Gnome alsa mixer | 04:35 |
| coz_ | mediabox, if you open a terminal you can type alsamixer | 04:35 |
| nickhs | mediabox: that card should work fine, it appears the issue lies in it conflicting with your onboard audio | 04:35 |
| coz_ | mediabox, see if any card is listed in the upper left corn er | 04:35 |
| G00053 | somsip: went up from 6gigs to 12, turns out I was only using 3 before. glad I learned that | 04:35 |
| somsip | G00053: w00t! | 04:36 |
| G00053 | it's like double bonus | 04:36 |
| somsip | G00053: I read that PAE is a bit of a kludge. I'm migrating my other linux install to 64bit, but I'm not bothering upgrading ubuntu yet. If you have 64 bit CPU it might be worth looking into depending on whatyou use he PC for | 04:37 |
| mediabox | nickhs coz_ thanks, I will try disabling and also the troubleshooting page. I used to know how to do all this stuff, Ubuntu has made me forget with most everything working "out of the box" :P | 04:37 |

| lahwran | how should I troubleshoot this? | 04:37 |
| lahwran | recovery mode boots and operates. | 04:37 |
| nickhs | lahwran: does pressing ctrl+alt+F1 take you to a command prompt? Is the capslock key blinking? | 04:37 |
| lahwran | nickhs: lemme reboot to a gui and see what happens | 04:38 |
| confezzor | what are the specs on that laptop lahwran? | 04:38 |
| G00053 | in all honesty, it's mostly for browsing / messing with my android /being a nerd/ and trying to learn to code | 04:38 |
| hashitish | somsip: totally baffled | 04:38 |
| somsip | G00053: then I'd suggest you're ok as you are. If you're into heavy compiling or video work, I understand 64bit can offer a prformance edge. I have no further knowledge on this | 04:39 |
| tripelb | w30 I think we got our answers crossed. I asked where I could find the gconfig file in which I could edit my controls positioning (l to r corner of the window) | 04:39 |

| hashitish | somsip: dont sweat ill leave the guide for now and work it out | 04:39 |
| lahwran | confezzor: not entirely sure yet. it's a laptop with a damaged optical drive and usb, processor seems to be some amd processor (64bit, dual core) and I think 2gb of ram | 04:39 |
| somsip | hashitish: ok | 04:39 |
| lahwran | confezzor: is that the kind of thing you were looking for? | 04:39 |
| G00053 | somsip: the machine is definatly under utilized, the ram was free | 04:39 |
| confezzor | yea | 04:39 |
| confezzor | is that a fresh install as well? | 04:40 |
| tripelb | w30 fyi I never use synaptic. I find it problematic. I dont understand it. OK It worked once. I stick to apt-get. | 04:40 |
| lahwran | no idea, it was installed when I got it from my friend. as optical and usb are damaged, I can't reinstall | 04:40 |
| somsip | G00053: I understand it's more to do with differences in how internla registers in the CPU are utilized on 64 compared to 32 with PAE. <shrugs> | 04:40 |
| somsip | G00053: but if you're good and it ain't broke, no worries | 04:40 |
| lahwran | nickhs: the capslock key is not blinking, mouse responds to input. after about a minute it returned to the state it was in before I clicked my friend's username | 04:41 |

| hashitish | somsip: so mercurial will cut out me needing to copy it all | 05:20 |

| lortech | anyone know why my /etc/rc2.d/S20zoneminder is not loading? what loads the rc files? | 05:44 |

| PlayerDisconnect | "Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics with 1024MB GDDR5 and up to 3813MB total graphics memory" | 05:44 |

| PlayerDisconnect | I didn't pay attention to see if it updated my gfx, apparently not. | 05:45 |
| ghostnik11 | w30: ah i see, thats why: the program i am trying to install is pcsx - a playstation 1 emulator and i think it uses the old glib2's as its not in ubuntu's software center or synaptic | 05:45 |

| yagoo | Tbruff13, yikes.. unfortunately that card isn't very well supported at least according to this "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Controller_Hub" .. perhaps there's bleeding edge code from intel.com if you're lucky.. | 06:18 |

| ParkerR | *provided | 06:49 |
| haikaido | but i thought 11.04 doesnt use Gnome 3 | 06:49 |
| haikaido | ? | 06:49 |
| kernelpanic22 | ParkerR: I have a question: In 11.04, when I run update manager, my computer goes into kernel panic | 06:50 |
| ParkerR | I REALLY thout | 06:50 |
| Blackoakx22 | Can anyone help me with installing ubuntu to a partion I have? | 06:50 |

| ParkerR | Hmm | 06:50 |
| haikaido | yeah theres a thousand | 06:50 |
| rww | ParkerR: There is no GNOME 3 in 11.04. Snap in 11.04 is provided by Compiz, which is not part of GNOME> | 06:50 |
| haikaido | "how to install gnome 3 in 11.04" | 06:50 |
| somsip | codemagician: looks like headers are not installed as a dependency. just install separately? | 06:51 |
| rww | It's also provided by Compiz by default 11.10 actually, but whatever | 06:51 |
| rww | s/default/default in/ | 06:51 |
| ParkerR | Oh ok. I could have sworn I read that it was using 3. My bad | 06:51 |
| haikaido | rww any idea how to get it to work in 10.10 rww? | 06:51 |
| haikaido | woops | 06:51 |
| rww | haikaido: I'd install ccsm and see if there's a Snap plugin for it. I don't know if there is. | 06:51 |
| codemagician | somsip, i found them in the synaptic package manager so just installing them now | 06:51 |

| Blackoakx22 | Can someone help me install ubuntu 11.04 so I can dual boot and not have to use wibi? | 06:58 |
| slide | yagoo, for instance in my Downloads folder, there is an Ubuntu One kinda orange bar on the top that says "Operations on this folder are disabled because there is no network connection" and a disabled Synchronize this folder | 06:58 |
| slide | but no way to get rid of it | 06:58 |
| yagoo | Blackoakx22, wubi? | 06:58 |
| yagoo | !wubi | 06:59 |
| ubottu | Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 06:59 |
| somsip | Blackoakx22: what is the issue? | 07:00 |
| yagoo | Blackoakx22, i believe easybcd has an option to add wubi to the windows boot menu | 07:01 |
| slide | yagoo, i logged into ubuntu one, and now it says "The files are not backed up and will not be available in your other computers" but i DONT want them to be synced | 07:01 |
| somsip | yagoo: he wants not to use wubi | 07:01 |
| Blackoakx22 | Well I used wibi but I dont want it installed inside windows I want to dualboot but it use the full 70 gigs of space. somsip | 07:01 |
| lion42_ | Blackoakx22: it should work now. | 07:02 |
| yagoo | Blackoakx22, then redownload the non-wubi iso | 07:02 |
| yagoo | or should i say downlaod the new iso that's not wubi | 07:02 |
| somsip | Blackoakx22: just run the install CD, choose the second partiion as / format it and good to go. | 07:02 |
| yagoo | somsip, from the wubi installer? | 07:02 |
| somsip | yagoo: No - Live CD innit | 07:02 |
| yagoo | somsip, you use wubi? | 07:02 |
| somsip | yagoo: no | 07:03 |
| Blackoakx22 | somsip: me and lion42_ were doing that but it said something about swap space. | 07:03 |
| yagoo | somsip, he's talking about using wubi to setup on native hardware.. | 07:03 |
| yagoo | i don't think wubi allows that by default.. | 07:03 |
| somsip | Blackoakx22: then it's maybe polie ot conitnue with lion42_ for now. Sorry for butting in | 07:03 |
| Blackoakx22 | yagoo: I DONT want to use wining | 07:03 |
| somsip | ...polite... | 07:03 |
| Blackoakx22 | Wubi | 07:03 |
| === christoph is now known as Guest29366 | ||
| yagoo | Blackoakx22, nobody here does.. | 07:03 |
| yagoo | Blackoakx22, just download the "non" wubi iso for your platform.. | 07:03 |
| lion42_ | yagoo: he's using the regular installer. I got him to delete the second partition and then return the space to his windows partition, and now am telling him to use ubuntu's automated installer to create the new partition. | 07:04 |
| somsip | lion42_: sounds sound | 07:04 |
| yagoo | lion42_, you mean Blackoakx22 ? | 07:04 |
| lion42_ | yes. | 07:04 |
| anygivenname | what's the cmd line for logwatch to send the log report ? | 07:04 |
| yagoo | why is he bringing up this "wubi"? maybe he's trying to get rid of his wubi boot menu entry.. | 07:04 |
| lion42_ | We were having trouble installing it to the already-existant second partition, largely because I'm a noob, so I figured this would be easier. | 07:04 |
| lion42_ | yagoo: he HAD wubi. now he just has regular windows and is trying to install regular ubuntu. | 07:05 |
| lion42_ | (along windows) | 07:05 |
| * yagoo says to do chkdsk under windows.. then use the ubuntu installer to resize ntfs | 07:05 | |
| yagoo | if he already resized his fat32, or his ntfs whatever.. then he should be good to try ubuntu | 07:06 |
| lion42_ | yagoo: its the right size. We're at the point of install right now, I can't see it not working. | 07:06 |
| yagoo | i only trust gparted to do the job.. | 07:06 |
| magpii | haikaido: this is the link to the error and the sources.list file opened in text editor. http://paste.ubuntu.com/657703/ | 07:06 |
| yagoo | lion42_, how did he resize his windows partition? | 07:06 |
| magpii | haikaido: can you tell me whats wrong? | 07:06 |
| lion42_ | yagoo: gparted. | 07:07 |
| yagoo | if its the installer that resized it then thats fine.. | 07:07 |
| yagoo | it uses gparted libraries in the background.. | 07:07 |
| haikaido | magpii, | 07:07 |
| ParkerR | No the installer cannot resize a partition | 07:07 |

| haikaido | it looks like its saying that the ppa for wine isnt there | 07:07 |
| ParkerR | Of the iso installer | 07:07 |
| ParkerR | *ph | 07:07 |
| ParkerR | *oh | 07:08 |
| magpii | haikaido: yeah, when i try installing the ppa for wine, it wont let me | 07:08 |
| lion42_ | yagoo: we resized the partition with gparted, and then ran the installer. it is running fine. | 07:08 |
| ParkerR | Wine should be in the default repos | 07:08 |
| magpii | haikaido: the ppa for wine is from the winehq official site too | 07:08 |
| haikaido | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa that doesnt work? | 07:08 |
| lion42_ | You are adding needless confusion to the matter, I think. | 07:08 |
| yagoo | Avasz, well you need a router.. routers connect separate networks.. if its a WAN interface, you can do port forwarding | 07:08 |
| chilli0 | It just starts to connect and then disconnects.. | 07:08 |
| haikaido | you need to run that in terminal and then run sudo apt-get update | 07:09 |
| haikaido | other than that | 07:09 |
| haikaido | i have no idea | 07:09 |
| Avasz | yagoo, my remote machine is connected to an adsl router. hat do i need to configure? | 07:09 |
| yagoo | lion42_, so basically its' just a 'swap' and /.. | 07:09 |

| nit-wit | seclm193, do all your updates first and install dkms, for the virtual as well, the dkms will keep you from reloading guest additos if you have a kernel update. | 07:41 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: any other help? i am got stuck with this CUPS | 07:42 |
| somsip | rabbit1: sorry - no real ideas. I get the feeling there is a dependency on something that is running, but don't know what. smbd or something else maybe. | 07:42 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, if you do them one by one you may not get all the dependencies correct. | 07:42 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, in the wiki i followed, dkms was a prerequisite | 07:42 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, so you say just do full upgrade next? | 07:42 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, I can understand you being skitish on the updates. | 07:42 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: yeap there is a dependency on dkpg, but unable to control that process or remove it. | 07:42 |
| somsip | rabbit1: post output of ps -e | grep cups | 07:42 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, you mean the update upgrade in the installed distro? | 07:43 |
| somsip | rabbit1: post output of ps -e | grep smbd as well | 07:43 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: output is nothing ..... :(\ | 07:43 |
| seclm193 | yes, the new kernel and new versions of needed software | 07:43 |
| somsip | rabbit1: for smb too? | 07:43 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, yes, the new kernel and new versions of needed software | 07:43 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: second one output: "No such file or directory" | 07:44 |
| somsip | rabbit1: nah - should be blank or "951 ? 00:00:00 smbd" | 07:44 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, I would just do the update upgrade then start adding the extras. | 07:44 |

| seclm193 | nit-wit, but if i have dkms already installed, i should be safe with the graphics already setup | 07:44 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, use the terminal that is wy I call it a update and upgrade. Dkms is for the virtual. | 07:45 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: yes, without smbd, its noting and with it is "No such file or directory" | 07:45 |
| camer0n__ | i am having trouble with pxe. i cannot get it to connect. can some one help me the setup? | 07:46 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, someone told me that the terminal way is much better than the graphical way | 07:46 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: typo mistake, sorry | 07:46 |
| somsip | rabbit1: what release of ubuntu? | 07:46 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: its "406 ? 00:00:00 smbd" and "1029 ? 00:00:00 smbd" | 07:47 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: i am sorry for the mistake | 07:47 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, it is what you like the update manger is the same thing basically unless you run a dist-upgrade which will seperate packages with dependencies missing for later installs when all is there. You can alsu use aptitude. | 07:47 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, just ran update, now running upgrade. got 189 to upgrade and download 168MB | 07:47 |
| somsip | rabbit1: ok - now I'm *not* sure, but if you have a shared printer, maybe samba daemon is causing a problem. Doesn't sound that likely actually, now I type it out | 07:47 |
| somsip | rabbit1: so what release of ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, i'm growing to really like command line | 07:48 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, I think you will be fine, I have never really had the updates break anything per-say. | 07:48 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: 10.10 | 07:48 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, well, i'm grasping at straws and trying each thing individually to find what broke it last time. | 07:49 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, dont really care to find it, just want to get fully setup and running without problems. being extremely careful in this setup | 07:49 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, that is not a good way to go you don't know the dependecies your way more likely to break it that way if you individually picking packages. | 07:50 |
| nit-wit | *you're | 07:50 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, well....when you told me that earlier, i just used the update/upgrade as one step | 07:51 |
| somsip | rabbit1: no - sorry. Out of ideas | 07:51 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, then i'll make sure i'm still in business before continueing | 07:51 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, cool I thought you were, I think the graphic card problems have made you skitish. | 07:51 |
| rabbit1 | somsip: its ok, no problem, let me google for some more time. thank you for your time | 07:51 |

| OmegaForte | nit-wit, Hey, I read GPU/graphics. I love those. what's the issue? | 07:52 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, well...was thinking. in every try, i installed compiz manager. not sure if that would do it. | 07:52 |
| shadaloo | hi | 07:52 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, did you tweak compiz? | 07:52 |
| shadaloo | all of assuden my graphics in firefox are super laggy | 07:52 |
| seclm193 | nit-wit, to be honest, i don't really remember | 07:53 |
| shadaloo | I restarted the whole computer and it still is horrible | 07:53 |

| krishnan | i tried booting from USB with 10.04 on my new compaq mini 700, a boot prompt comes and nothing happens. Wat to do? | 07:53 |
| lion42 | krishnan, does it say "boot:" and then nothing? | 07:53 |
| nit-wit | seclm193, be careful tweaking compiz, look for a web Ud8 link and follow the instructions natty is temperamental with compiz | 07:54 |
| krishnan | @lion42: yes | 07:54 |
| OmegaForte | nit-wit, thought you were having gpu drivers/theme issues. | 07:54 |
| krishnan | lion42: yes | 07:54 |
| nit-wit | OmegaForte, another user hd. | 07:54 |
| nit-wit | *had | 07:54 |
| somsip | sandGorgon: I find some servers get the propogation much quicker, so it is possible the host you're requesting the domain off will se your IP correclty. No guaranee | 07:54 |
| lion42 | krishnan, go back into windows or whatever, clear off the usb stick, download a new copy of ubuntu, and create a new usb boot stick with the new copy of ubuntu. | 07:54 |

| krishnan | lion42: oh ok, I have the iso file with me. should I download again? Im at present downloading Xubuntu. Would it be fine? | 07:55 |
| frankz_ | Hi guys, could you recommend me a good program to burn CDs? I use Xfburn but it only gives me error when I use CDs which are supposed to work =/ | 07:56 |
| lion42 | krishnan, I'd suggest downloading the iso again if you have a fast connection, as that pretty much 99% guarantees the problem will go away | 07:56 |
| lion42 | Whatever iso, this error seems to be resolved by starting over fresh. | 07:56 |
| csdwifi | i really need to get rid of a secondary ubuntu install and catenate freespace into my primary install, but all the guides i find on the topic are how to restore to a windows partition. soo, just wondering what the first steps should be (i'm pretty sure partition writing would be last) | 07:57 |
| frankz_ | It says the multisession is not supported, and I've only opened this program once | 07:57 |
| nit-wit | krishnan, check the md5sum of the ISO always if you have problems. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 07:57 |
| OmegaForte | seclm193, Well if you keep having issues with UI stuff, let me know. | 07:57 |

| Lasers | Blackoakx22: That's keyring. All passwords in one file. It ask you to unlock the file so it can access the password for Wifi. If you don't want to use it, leave both blanks for password and it'll warn you about unsecred file. OK to continue. | 07:58 |

| Lasers | unsecured* | 07:58 |
| OmegaForte | seclm193, By removing it. There isn't much you can do with it right now, as it's quite fresh and looks like it belongs on a cellphone. | 07:59 |
| Blackoakx22 | Lasers: I already set the keyring. Can I undo it? | 07:59 |
| krishnan | nit-wit: in case if something is wrong with the md5sum.txt? is it possible it to replace it with a proper one? | 07:59 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, you can remove it permately? | 07:59 |

| OmegaForte | seclm193, Log off, and look at the bottom of your main x screen. You'll see a bar. One of the boxes will say "Unity". Click that, and choose Ubuntu Classic, which is gnome 2.3 | 08:05 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, guess i need to turn off the log in automatically | 08:05 |
| Lasers | Blackoakx22: That | 08:05 |

| seclm193 | omegaforte, not sure | 08:12 |
| nit-wit | zeynep-bashekim, thats only one web page but it's not listed as a compatible, that doesn't memean its not, I ddn't look really close at dates or when that model came out. | 08:13 |

| nit-wit | seclm193, hang on to your whatever. ;) | 08:19 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | fairuz, really tho, just check out the Ubuntu Software Center... do searches for "IDE", "Text Editor", C or C++, etc.... trial and error... really quick and easy to install, try, remove, try next, etc... | 08:19 |

| andylockran | amarok was qt, banshee is gtk (IIRC) | 08:22 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, why? | 08:22 |

| OmegaForte | seclm193, Not to say banshee is bad, it's quite good. I use it simply because it's there. | 08:24 |
| seclm193 | andylockran, have to see which one i like | 08:24 |
| andylockran | seclm193: I quite like both | 08:24 |
| iceroot | krambiorix: that should give a syntax error | 08:24 |

| OmegaForte | seclm193, That sounds familar, hang on. | 08:25 |
| krambiorix | iceroot how do you mean export servers? | 08:25 |
| krambiorix | OmegaForte, in stead of mounting? | 08:25 |

| OmegaForte | I'm 27. | 08:28 |
| marcusdavidus | do u have fb? | 08:28 |

| ubottu | marcusdavidus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 08:29 |

| krambiorix | OmegaForte, would it be possible then to use Webdav on the webserver and access the files over sshfs? | 08:30 |
| === mquin_ is now known as mquin | ||

| SeeknDestroy2 | jenvy, llutz answered you... they're in ~/.gnome2/keyrings/... and the file is encrypted and it won't be of any use to you... | 08:44 |

| staRrr | is that a global IRC registration ? | 08:58 |
| llutz_ | staRrr: freenode only | 08:58 |
| ParkerR | Yes for freenode | 08:58 |

| robbiethe1st | Ok, guys. After months of it working perfectly, my G15 extra keys suddenly stopped. Amongst other things, I can't find "XKeysymDB"... it just doesn't exist anywhere anymore. I need to recreate it, I guess. Running 11.04 | 09:03 |
| Onepamopa | hm, kubuntu 11.04 download link ???? | 09:03 |
| robbiethe1st | Onepamopa: 32-bit or 64-bit? | 09:04 |

| overrider_ | I booted from my sda partition, and like to to clone it to sdb so i have it there as a bootable backup. Do i need to boot of a live system or of another disk or can i somehow clone my 'live' system on sda to sdb in a safe way? | 09:04 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | overrider_, do it from the livecd | 09:04 |
| robbiethe1st | overrider_: Yea, LiveCD | 09:05 |
| overrider_ | ok cool | 09:05 |
| staRrr | sry 1 more newbie question, registering is only to make sure i can use the same nickname every time...so if someone is using it when i identify myself he will be forced to leave | 09:05 |
| iceroot | overrider_: both drives have the same size? | 09:05 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | overrider_, command is --> sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=2048 <-- make sure to VERIFY THE DRIVES with "fdisk -l" so you don't clone the empty one over the top of the full one! | 09:05 |
| Herakles | Hi there, i get a question..., why is it that after opening a Softwareterminal (tty1,tty2 and so on) and after closing them, the System (Command "w") shows 4 or even more users on the System, isn´t that false information ? Or why did Ubuntu konfigured their System like that ? (Using Ubuntu 11.04) | 09:05 |
| robbiethe1st | Eh, I'd use bs=16M if it's a modern harddisk | 09:06 |
| robbiethe1st | really increases performance for me | 09:06 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | overrider_, the "bs=2048" option increases the blocksize that it copies to 2048 instead of the default 512, speeds up the cloning of bigger disks | 09:06 |
| llutz_ | staRrr: and some channels require registration/identification if you want to join | 09:06 |
| ParkerR | Herakles, in the tty1 type exit | 09:06 |
| ParkerR | And in any of them that are open | 09:06 |
| Onepamopa | SeeknDestroy2 shows me ubuntu page, which doesnt show kubuntu at all ;) | 09:06 |
| python666 | u can type msg nickserv identify <password> | 09:06 |
| Onepamopa | why do u think I asked here | 09:06 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | robbiethe1st, anything other than the default "512" bytes is a good thing :) | 09:07 |
| robbiethe1st | SeeknDestroy2: Yea, definitely | 09:08 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | Onepamopa, http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download has only download links for KUBUNTU... there's nothing about ubuntu there man | 09:08 |

In ubuntu - mint, ive got this line in my /etc/fstab: //IP/shared /mnt/shared cifs exec,credentials=/mnt/credentials where the credentialc contains username=whatever password=whatever.

If my user logs in(userA) they cannot save as onto that /mnt/shared or do anything really(they can view but the files show as read only). When i do ls -all it shows all files/folde | 09:36 |
| AdvoWork | rs as root root. When i get the user to log into the gui via root, all works fine. Any suggestions how i can get this working for userA? | 09:36 |

| AdvoWork | Hi there. In ubuntu ive got this line in my /etc/fstab: //IP/shared /mnt/shared cifs exec,credentials=/mnt/credentials where the credentialc contains username=whatever password=whatever. Now this mounts fine. And if ive ssh'd in, i can work around the server. If my user logs in(userA) they cannot save as onto that /mnt/shared or do anything really(they can view but the files show as read only). When i do ls -all it shows all files/folders as ro | 09:46 |
| AdvoWork | ot root. When i get the user to log into the gui via root, all works fine. Any suggestions how i can get this working for userA? | 09:46 |
| staRrr | may be it makes u see things blue haha | 09:46 |
| SeeknDestroy2 | lol if you're letting that troll persist and stay in here while high on DXM i'm just gonna /part - have at it | 09:46 |
| mver | Parker, OmegaForte, thanks for your help. I think this may be resolved when I reboot. Best, | 09:49 |

| lpc2011 | hello guys! can somebody help me with my Places menu gone skewed? Ubuntu 10.04LTS | 09:54 |
| lpc2011 | Gave me the message below when I tried clicking on partitions and the cd-rom drive: | 09:59 |
| lpc2011 | Error | 09:59 |
| lpc2011 | Could not open location 'file:///media/ | 09:59 |
| lpc2011 | No application is registered as handling this file | 09:59 |
| lpc2011 | Thanks. | 09:59 |
| FloodBot1 | lpc2011: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:59 |
| lpc2011 | sorry | 09:59 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: is there anything in the cd drive? | 10:00 |
| lpc2011 | yes. the files and the cd drive gets mounted even it give the error message posted. | 10:01 |
| AdvoWork | if a root user can create files on a mounted(via etc/fstab) but a normal user can't, when all files shown by ls show root root, any ideas what I can do? | 10:01 |
| nand`deb | What's the easiest way to install grub to an NTFS partition? | 10:01 |
| ThinkT510 | nand`deb: you don't, you install it to a linux partition or mbr | 10:02 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: try with something you know that works in the cd drive. Im not certain but it appears it isnt actually mounted | 10:03 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: yes. the drive gets mounted anyway, but it does not launch nautilus. I still have to click on it using Places on Computer | 10:03 |
| spock | nand`deb: you need to boot up a live cd to do it | 10:03 |
| nand | nand! | 10:03 |
| nand`deb | ThinkT510: I don't have any linux partition whatsoever, just the MBR and a bunch of NTFS | 10:03 |
| nand`deb | spock: I'm on a liveCD right now | 10:03 |
| MrCoffeeTV | How do you like it so far, nand`deb ? | 10:04 |
| nand`deb | MrCoffeeTV: Ubuntu you mean? | 10:04 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Yup... | 10:04 |
| nand`deb | could be worse | 10:04 |
| spock | nand`deb: what version? | 10:04 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I have 11.4 loaded on this machine, and SUSE 11.4 loaded on my other. | 10:05 |
| nand`deb | spock: crunchbang, which is based off debian squeeze - I was pointed to this channel, not because I use ubuntu | 10:05 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Unity takes some getting used to, but it's OK once you get the hang of it. | 10:05 |
| k_sze | What on earth is the "option.ko" kernel module? | 10:05 |
| spock | nand`deb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 | 10:06 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: there is the live CD (10.04lts) on it right now. | 10:06 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Are you asking what a kernel module is, k_sze, or asking what this particular one does? | 10:06 |
| k_sze | What this particular one does. | 10:07 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I see... | 10:07 |
| nand`deb | spock: does grub-install work on mounted NTFS partitions? | 10:07 |
| dnivra | k_sze: looks like a serial USB kernel module. | 10:07 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Well, when I was compiling Gentoo, I never ran by it. | 10:07 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: are you saying you are running from the live cd or that it is just in the drive? | 10:07 |
| MrCoffeeTV | So, can't say what it does, or what its purpose is. | 10:08 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: I'm not running from it. | 10:08 |
| Joelio | Hi, is there a way to set the permissions of a tar (the acutal tar, not the contents) at creation time, rather than chmodding after creation? | 10:08 |
| dnivra | k_sze: seems like a serial USB kernel module for accessing internet via a mobile phone. | 10:09 |
| k_sze | dnivra: how did you find out? | 10:09 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Joelio: From my experience, the files should have the same permissions going into the archive... | 10:09 |
| dnivra | k_sze: google :P. | 10:09 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: I'd expect to see something like /media/disk or /media/cdrom or /media/<cd title> when it was mounted. Is there anything in your /media directory? | 10:09 |
| MrCoffeeTV | So, I think the only way you can get it to work, is to change permissions on each file beforehand. | 10:10 |
| Joelio | MrCoffeeTV: Ok, I'll give it a try. | 10:10 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Kernel compiling was never my thing. Tried Gentoo twice... | 10:10 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Got BIG, FAT, HUGE fonts on an 80 column screen... | 10:10 |
| MrCoffeeTV | And no matter WHAT framebuffer I used, even nuevo, it still gave the same dang font. No penguine, nothing. Just BIG, HUGE, 80 column text. | 10:11 |
| MrCoffeeTV | So next time, I'll have to go grab and compile that nvidia driver and see if it does any good. I'm not holding my breath. | 10:11 |
| OmegaForte | MrCoffeeTV, Maybe it cares about your eyesight. It doesn't want you to stress your eyes. | 10:11 |
| MrCoffeeTV | It must be smarter than me, OmegaForte ! | 10:12 |
| MrCoffeeTV | But one of these days, I WILL become the ALPHA. | 10:12 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Don't care how much I have to kick it and whip it into shape, it WILL obey. I'll have the glory! | 10:12 |
| AdvoWork | if a root user can create files on a mounted(via etc/fstab) but a normal user can't, when all files shown by ls show root root, any ideas what I can do? | 10:13 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: I sent my reply via past.ubuntu.com. | 10:13 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I'll find a week where I can go over each module, and read in detail on that kernel. Something's bound to give. | 10:13 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: you'll have to paste the link | 10:14 |
| lpc2011 | sorry guys... http://paste.ubuntu.com/657797/ | 10:14 |
| MrCoffeeTV | AdvoWork: You have to sudo into root first, then change ownership of that fstab file.. | 10:14 |
| Lasers | MrCoffeeTV: You're using Gnome and everything is big? | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Or, you'll have to add a new group, then assign yourself to that particular privilege for that file. | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | It's the consolue, Lasers. | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Console... | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Anyway, I wanted Gentoo in console mode, and I was going to compile everything and optimize it to this machine. | 10:15 |
| AdvoWork | MrCoffeeTV, how come change ownership of the fstab file, is that the only way? | 10:15 |
| Lasers | MrCoffeeTV: Ah. Nevermind. I was going to ask you if you tried changing DPI. | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I gave up when I tried to install X. | 10:15 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: Is it trying to open the right thing when you click it in Places menu? | 10:15 |
| MrCoffeeTV | AdvoWork: If you want to change the fstab file, you MUST be root. | 10:16 |
| Lasers | !fstab | AdvoWork | 10:16 |
| ubottu | AdvoWork: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 10:16 |
| MrCoffeeTV | You don't want your regular user account to access fstab, because it can mess up your file system. The only way to fix it would be to chroot into it with the repair disk. | 10:16 |
| AdvoWork | MrCoffeeTV, but i mean, is that the only way, by changing the fstab? i can edit the fstab file fine... and its working, for root, but not for other users | 10:16 |
| Lasers | AdvoWork: It's very touch-touch stuffs -- Something that you don't want anybody to have access to. | 10:17 |
| AdvoWork | i know that, i think you've got the wrong idea of my prob, one sec, let me explain | 10:17 |
| k_sze | ahahahahahaha | 10:17 |
| k_sze | sorry, I'm hysterical now. | 10:17 |
| AdvoWork | ive got this line in my /etc/fstab: //IP/shared /mnt/shared cifs exec,credentials=/mnt/credentials where the credentialc contains username=whatever password=whatever. Now this mounts fine. And if ive ssh'd in, i can work around the server. If my user logs in(userA) they cannot save as onto that /mnt/shared or do anything really(they can view but the files show as read only). When i do ls -all it shows all files/folders as root root. When i get | 10:17 |
| AdvoWork | the user to log into the gui via root, all works fine. Any suggestions how i can get this working for userA? | 10:17 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I think AdvoWork is referring to permissions of a certain file. | 10:17 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/657801/ | 10:18 |
| MrCoffeeTV | AdvoWork: You have to go into your sudoers.conf file, and add the privilege to the user who you want to have access to that directory. | 10:18 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Well, actually, I think it's the sudoers.d directory, not sure. but look in /ext and there should be a sudoers.conf or sudoers directory in there some place. | 10:19 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest50188 | ||
| MrCoffeeTV | I haven't messed with anything like that myself, though. | 10:19 |
| llutz_ | AdvoWork: you want to add uid/gid to mount-options in fstab. use gid of a group your users are member | 10:19 |
| bartj | help! how can I remove these rootkits from ubuntu machine | 10:20 |
| bartj | cb Rootkit | 10:20 |

| FloodBot1 | bartj: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:20 |
| llutz_ | AdvoWork: read "man mount.cifs" about uid, gid and umask | 10:20 |
| AdvoWork | llutz, like: //IP/shared /mnt/shared cifs exec,credentials=/mnt/credentials, gid=as you say? | 10:20 |
| ThinkT510 | bartj: reformat and reinstall | 10:20 |
| bartj | what about the data ? | 10:21 |
| MrCoffeeTV | How did the root kits get there in the first place, bartj ? | 10:21 |
| bartj | my server has been hacked! | 10:21 |
| llutz_ | bartj: restore data from backup after reinstallation | 10:21 |
| gneral | hi | 10:21 |
| OmegaForte | MrCoffeeTV, They got in there because he was messing with permissions, that's how. | 10:21 |
| bartj | no, the server's been hacked | 10:21 |
| MrCoffeeTV | That's what I figured, OmegaForte | 10:22 |
| MrCoffeeTV | It's not often that a Linux system gets compromised, unless someone was able to gain privileges. | 10:22 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I think some of the more difficult challenges is setting privileges on web sites. | 10:23 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: Could not open location 'file:///media/(drive or cd-rom) | 10:23 |
| MrCoffeeTV | One PHP file that's set to the wrong permissions can really fsck a site... Been there, done that. | 10:23 |
| bartj | hmm, how do I prevent this ? | 10:24 |
| bartj | I have *no* firewall setup | 10:24 |
| MrsB | lpc2011: Im not sure how that menu is generated, I think its probably done dynamically. The only reason I can really think of for the error is that it is trying to open something which isn't there or an incorrect path to it. If that is OK tho then I would keep asking every so often and eventually somebody with moar brainz will come along :) | 10:26 |
| lpc2011 | MrsB: I tried the ubuntu forums, with no luck either. Thanks! | 10:27 |
| MrsB | NP, sorry I don't know the answer to that one | 10:27 |
| lpc2011 | thank you guys... gtg. bye. | 10:28 |

| Janine | Anyone here good at configuring a mouse? I need help to get my mousewheel to work | 10:32 |
| OmegaForte | Janine, Yeah, didn't i talk to you earlier? | 10:32 |
| Janine | yea, me and another tried for 3 hours straight and still didnt get it to work | 10:33 |
| OmegaForte | I told you the line to add to your xorg.conf. | 10:33 |
| Janine | OmegaForte: it didnt work so there must be something wrong somewhere | 10:34 |
| OmegaForte | Janine, You added this line "Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"" to the bottom of the "inputdevice" definition. | 10:34 |
| Janine | OmegaForte: yea and it doesnt work | 10:34 |
| Janine | OmegaForte: I think there is something wrong before that, maybe something making the definition not work | 10:35 |
| Janine | OmegaForte: We are using a custom file I think. 60-logitech-vx.conf | 10:36 |
| KIAaze | #humblebundle | 10:37 |
| ThinkT510 | Janine: for it to work you need to reload X (logout and back in or restart) | 10:37 |
| Janine | ThinkT510: I have restarted the computer a million times | 10:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: Are you using Ubuntu, Mint, or similar distribution? | 10:38 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: Ubuntu 11.04 | 10:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I see. | 10:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | It should have found your mouse during installation, or when the kernel boots up. | 10:39 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Sounds to me like it could be an issue with either a module, or a driver. | 10:39 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Most likely, it could be a kernel module. | 10:39 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: one guy who tried to help me said the mouse was listed as two devices | 10:40 |
| AdvoWork | is there a way i can grep for certain text in all files that match .htaccess? | 10:40 |
| === bittin_ is now known as bittin` | ||
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: the mouse works, everything works except vertical scrolling | 10:40 |
| MrCoffeeTV | AdvoWork: ls <filename> | grep | 10:40 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I think that would be the command, but dont' quote me. | 10:41 |
| magpii | can someone help me find the exe file to use when trying to run a windows program in wine? | 10:41 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I see, Janine | 10:41 |
| magpii | i have tried the winehq channel and was told to go instal windows | 10:41 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: What do I do? | 10:41 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, What's the program.. | 10:41 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I'm thinking about the driver, Janine | 10:41 |
| MrCoffeeTV | With open source drivers, some features can be left out, not intentionally, though. | 10:42 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: i am trying to run ut3 in wine, but the exe file is in the binaries folder and i cant get to it through terminal | 10:42 |
| somsip | AdvoWork: greepping for texts contained in files? grep -r "text" /path | 10:42 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, It's installed in the normal epic folder, right? | 10:42 |
| MrCoffeeTV | We experience much of the same with video card drivers, when there's no access to the commercial version like Windows, or OSX would use. | 10:42 |
| MrCoffeeTV | That may be your situation, Janine. | 10:42 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Does that mouse work better with other distributions? | 10:42 |
| MrCoffeeTV | If so, then you may try that, and see if you can look at the xorg.conf information on that particular distribution. | 10:43 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: I have no idea. Ive only tried Ubuntu with it | 10:43 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: i installed the defualt install path, but for some reason, i cant get to the exe file in terminal, yet when i click it through wine, it doesnt do anything | 10:43 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: if that made sense? | 10:43 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Doesn't unreal use a frontend loader, like u3launcher.exe? | 10:43 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: You would have had some real fun at my computer when I was trying to set up a Gentoo kernel! | 10:44 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: Your mouse is a Logitec, correct/ | 10:44 |
| MrCoffeeTV | ? | 10:44 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: I have looked at other peoples xorg file that have the same mouse and it still dont work. It is a Logitech VX Nano | 10:44 |
| OmegaForte | MrCoffeeTV, Hey coffee, lemme bounce a question off you, to see if it's just me. Motorola made the CSR transmitter for low power systems. Why is it not supported in Ubuntu? | 10:45 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: there is an ut frontend.exe, a ut console, and a ut3.exe and none seem to do anything when i try opening them in wine | 10:45 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I haven't a clue, OmegaForte | 10:45 |
| MrCoffeeTV | http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-65471.html | 10:46 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, I don't have UT3, so I can't do the testing. I do however have some UT3 games. Can you launch UT3 from the shortcut wine made? | 10:46 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I don't know if that link would help, Janine, but try it. | 10:46 |
| AdvoWork | MrCoffeeTV, somsip but i mean, all .htaccess files(i've got loads? so id want to search for the text "test" in all .htaccess files,without me having to specify their path, if possible? | 10:46 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Meanwhile, let me see if I can google your mouse. | 10:46 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: ok, will take a look right away. | 10:46 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Boy, AdvoWork ..... | 10:47 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Well, I'm not an expert at formatting commands. | 10:47 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: the only shortcuts wine made on my desktop are unreal tournament3.lnk and another that has a wineglas icon with unreal tournament 3 under it. they dont do anything either | 10:47 |
| somsip | AdvoWork: grep -lr "test" / possibly | 10:47 |
| somsip | AdvoWork: oh...hang on | 10:47 |
| OmegaForte | Okay. Lemme install RV6V2 real fast. | 10:47 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: do i need to reconfig the lnk icon? | 10:48 |
| joa__ | hey, i have a user with a shell set as /bin/false but is it possible to still execute commands with that user? like sudo su user -c command | 10:48 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, I don't know. Hang on | 10:48 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: Are you having any luck? | 10:48 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: thanks, i really apreciate you taking the time to help. | 10:48 |
| pentestor | hi all ; | 10:49 |
| magpii | hi | 10:49 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: me and another tried a lot of combinations for the mousewheel last night with no luck. Is there any way to check if the different combinations have any impact? | 10:49 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Go to your wine jingus, and go to "browse C drive". Navigate to where unreal installed, and verify it's actually there. | 10:49 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: You could try a different mouse, and see if the wheel works with the config file you're editing. | 10:50 |
| ThinkT510 | magpii: just incase you haven't checked: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5937 | 10:50 |
| magpii | how do i verify? i can see the file sets there in wine program files | 10:50 |
| MrCoffeeTV | If that's the case, then you might not have the right driver for that Logitech. | 10:50 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: With Linux, each driver is actually a kernel module, which is compiled in the kernel its self. | 10:51 |
| somsip | AdvoWork: ok - you need "find / -name .htacess" to find your files, "-exec cat | grep 'test' {};" or something like that at the end. You'll have to check the proper syntax, but there's plenty out on google to guide you | 10:51 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Coffee raises a valid arg. Maybe you're missing dependancies. | 10:51 |
| MrCoffeeTV | What happens, is that each module gets compiled as an extra program, which loads from a directory during bootup. | 10:51 |
| somsip | AdvoWork: so "find / -name .htacess -exec cat | grep 'test' {};" or something close. Ish | 10:51 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: http://pastebin.com/fgZ3ydLc Can you see something wrong? | 10:52 |
| MrCoffeeTV | You don't install a driver in Linux like you do Windows, so you have to find out which module your mouse can run under. | 10:52 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: ok, gonna read through and install the recommended patch, brb | 10:52 |
| js_ | somsip: find / -name .htacess -exec grep test {} \; | 10:52 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: I know that my video driver is only listed as "NVidia Corporation" | 10:53 |
| MrCoffeeTV | So, you could try "Logitech corporation" under your MatchProduct. | 10:53 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: Can you see something wrong with this file? http://pastebin.com/fgZ3ydLc | 10:53 |
| MrCoffeeTV | It's hard telling, Janine. | 10:54 |
| MrCoffeeTV | But let me go through my config, and see what I find. | 10:54 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: what does it mean by install to wine prefix? is that the default wine install path? | 10:54 |
| somsip | js_: hey, I was pretty close. Except for the typo and the \ :) | 10:55 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine, here's what I have: InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" | 10:55 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: Try those entries in your config file, without trying to specifiy the brand of mouse. It might work. | 10:56 |
| OmegaForte | magpii, Wine works in prefixes, where you can keep individual settings and configs to meet the needs of specific applications. | 10:56 |
| magpii | OmegaForte: ahh, yeah, gotya | 10:56 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: Try "Identifier "Mouse0" | 10:56 |
| MrCoffeeTV | then: Driver "mouse" | 10:57 |
| skipper | hello | 10:57 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Option: "protocol" "auto" | 10:57 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Then Option "Device" :/dev/psaux" | 10:57 |
| MrCoffeeTV | That's how my moust is setup. | 10:57 |
| MrCoffeeTV | But I have a generic mouse, too. | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | hello | 10:58 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: I think we got the mouse to respond to changes, but we need the right combination to make the wheel work. Do you follow? | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | anyone in here ? | 10:58 |
| lightstream | nope just you | 10:58 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Yes, Janine.... | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | HELLOOOO | 10:58 |
| MrCoffeeTV | that's why I was making those suggestions.... | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | guys i have a question about linux & windows security | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | do you have time? | 10:58 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: ok ok | 10:58 |
| MrCoffeeTV | If you can't find a specific Logitech driver, then you could try something more generic. | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | it's about sharing files over a LAN | 10:58 |
| PICKaNICK | and now the biggest problem is wireless | 10:59 |
| lightstream | someone might do, ask away | 10:59 |
| lightstream | via samba? | 10:59 |
| PICKaNICK | how to isolate the shares in linux | 10:59 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Like using a Linux framebuffer instead of an NVidia driver to get the XServer to kick in, for example. | 10:59 |
| PICKaNICK | it means it only accept the access for specific ips | 10:59 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: can we talk in private? | 10:59 |
| PICKaNICK | this way it will be very hard to hack | 10:59 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: please PM me | 10:59 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Feel free to message me, Janine | 10:59 |
| PICKaNICK | is this possible on linux ? | 10:59 |
| lightstream | waht do you mean, 'isolate the shares' | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | let say i have a local lan shared printer, harddisk, USB disks .. etc | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | i want only the people i know access them | 11:00 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I think PICKaNICK wants to set up sharing for a directory, but only to specific IP's. | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | so i need only fixed specific ids to see and access | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | ips* | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | yeah | 11:00 |
| PICKaNICK | this way i won't be scared of unauthrozied access | 11:01 |
| PICKaNICK | either by wireless or on LAN | 11:01 |
| arunkumar413 | hi, i have .qcp audio files and i want to convert them to mp3 or wav. Please suggest a simple package to do this | 11:01 |
| lightstream | sure you can do it PICKaNICK | 11:02 |
| lightstream | maybe using the firewall tho | 11:02 |
| lightstream | or do you want some IPs to have access to some shares but not others | 11:02 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, ffmpeg should be able to do that | 11:03 |
| PICKaNICK | yeah light | 11:03 |
| PICKaNICK | that kind of way | 11:03 |
| PICKaNICK | i rather have ips access than passwords | 11:03 |
| PICKaNICK | because passwords can be stolen | 11:03 |
| arunkumar413 | glebihan: there is no ffmpeg on my system | 11:04 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, then install it | 11:04 |
| VxQe | PICKaNICK, you do realise that it is far easier to fake an IP/MAC than it is to steal a password? | 11:06 |
| arunkumar413 | glebihan: installed ffmpeg. But i dont know how to convert | 11:07 |
| PICKaNICK | VxQe i don't think the people knows what i'm doing from my side for them to go and do that | 11:07 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, from terminal run "ffmpeg -i 'file_to_convert.qcp' 'dest_file.wav'" | 11:08 |
| PICKaNICK | everybody knows that you access shares by a passward | 11:08 |
| PICKaNICK | but by IPs | 11:08 |
| PICKaNICK | not many | 11:08 |
| VxQe | Well, everyone but the 1489 people in this channel that just saw you type that. | 11:08 |
| PICKaNICK | haha | 11:08 |
| VxQe | :) | 11:08 |
| arunkumar413 | glebihan: can i also batch convert | 11:08 |
| VxQe | Passwords are still by far the more secure method. | 11:08 |
| Benkinooby | will my choice of window manager (kwin, metacity, compiz, xfwm, *box, icewm, ...) influence my game expereience? will the window mangeres still use graphic card ressources when i am gaming? in that context, does fullscreen vs. window mode make a difference? | 11:09 |
| PICKaNICK | i know but i also want to reject all other IPs that don't match | 11:09 |
| VxQe | Security by obscurity is not security. | 11:09 |
| VxQe | Right. | 11:09 |
| PICKaNICK | so if the IPs is not in the allow access it won't see anything at all | 11:09 |
| goodtime | heh | 11:09 |
| VxQe | You can do that with samba or with iptables. | 11:09 |
| VxQe | It shouldn't be difficult, I don't think? | 11:09 |
| theadmin | VxQe: Or ufw. | 11:09 |
| VxQe | ufw? | 11:09 |
| theadmin | VxQe: The Ubuntu FireWall | 11:09 |
| PICKaNICK | firewall | 11:09 |
| PICKaNICK | yeah | 11:09 |
| VxQe | Ah. | 11:09 |
| VxQe | Well, that is just iptables. :) | 11:10 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, ffmpeg doesn't allow batch conversion by itself, you would have to write a little script in order to do that | 11:10 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867670 | 11:10 |
| theadmin | VxQe: True, a frontend to iptables and nothing more | 11:10 |
| PICKaNICK | anyway guys.. thanks for your pateince with me | 11:10 |
| PICKaNICK | i always compilcat things | 11:10 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: please PM me | 11:12 |
| arunkumar413 | glebihan: didn't understand it | 11:12 |
| lightstream | VxQe: re faking IPs - yeah it's easy, but of course you won't get the response, cos that will be sent ot the IP you faked, yeah? | 11:13 |
| theadmin | !info tor | lightstream | 11:13 |
| ubottu | lightstream: tor (source: tor): anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1.30-1 (natty), package size 1016 kB, installed size 2104 kB | 11:14 |
| cheek2cheek | Is there a way to setup email program (either evolution or thunderbird) to a hotmail account with IMAP settings or hotmail does not provide imap server? | 11:14 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: They do not. | 11:14 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: Actually... wait, might have | 11:14 |
| Benkinooby | will my choice of window manager (kwin, metacity, compiz, xfwm, *box, icewm, ...) influence my game expereience? will the window mangeres still use graphic card ressources when i am gaming? in that context, does fullscreen vs. window mode make a difference? | 11:14 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, well basically, if all the files you have to convert are in the same folder, the command "for f in *.qcp; do ffmpeg -i '$f' '${f%.qcp}.wav'; done" will convert all the files | 11:15 |
| Lift-Noob | morning girlz | 11:15 |
| Janine | can anyone tell me how to copy one file from one location to another? | 11:15 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: Try m.hotmail.com | 11:15 |
| Janine | from home to x11 folder | 11:16 |
| theadmin | Janine: cp source target | 11:16 |
| cheek2cheek | m.hotmail.com as a imap server? | 11:16 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: Yeah | 11:16 |
| Janine | theadmin: thanks | 11:16 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, btw that command must be run from the folder where the .qcp files are located | 11:17 |
| anygivenname | logwatch can not send mail.....'sendmail: cannot open OUTGOING Server:PORT#' | 11:17 |

| helly^ | I'm connect to my box at home via VNC. But everytime I hit the "d" button it minimizes the window I'm in.. | 11:17 |
| ThinkT510 | Benkinooby: as regards gaming in wine compiz is not recomended | 11:17 |
| theadmin | Janine: What you're looking for seems to be: sudo cp ~/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:17 |
| Janine | theadmin: no. A file in my home directory to that yes. please tell me that command | 11:18 |
| theadmin | Janine: cp ~/filename /etc/X11/filename is it. | 11:18 |
| s7 | hello, i need some help on: httpd (no pid file) not running | 11:18 |
| theadmin | Janine: Well, with sudo if you're not root | 11:18 |
| Janine | theadmin: thanks a lot | 11:18 |
| glebihan | s7, when do you get this error ? | 11:18 |
| theadmin | Janine: No problem. | 11:19 |
| anygivenname | logwatch used to work & send daily report by mail.....now it says cannot send, although machine is connected | 11:19 |
| theadmin | Janine: You should handle permissions though | 11:19 |
| s7 | glebihan, i get that error when i start apache | 11:19 |
| arunkumar413 | glebihan: where will the converted files get saved | 11:19 |
| theadmin | !chmod | Janine | 11:19 |
| ubottu | Janine: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 11:19 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, the problem doesn't come from logwatch but from your sendmail configuration | 11:20 |

| Polah | Can anyone tell me a PDF reader which can edit editable (form) PDFs? Document Viewer and Adobe Reader let me edit them, but neither actually save the information. xpdf and Foxit for Linux don't let me edit the PDF at all.

| glebihan | s7, how do you start apache ? by running "sudo service apache2 start" ? | 11:20 |
| anygivenname | glebihan: I have not chaned anything...I have looked into the config file & it is the same correct settings | 11:20 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: smtp.live.com | 11:21 |
| s7 | glebihan, by: $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 11:21 |
| glebihan | arunkumar413, then change the command to : for f in *.qcp; do ffmpeg -i '$f' '/destination/folder/${f%.qcp}.wav'; done | 11:21 |
| cheek2cheek | theadmin, cheers. | 11:21 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: Honestly this is nowhere close to an Ubuntu question :D | 11:21 |
| glebihan | s7, that's not the way to start apache anymore, try the command I mentioned | 11:22 |

| hyperstrum | Hello, im having issues with 11.04 and the network-manager-gnome, it seems to list the WIFI networks, but it doesnt list VPN listings or 'More Networks' for the extra networks, shows a box about 2px thick. If i click another network or disconnect it doesnt function at all. I just attempted to reinstall network-manager/-gnome. | 11:22 |
| spock | why are all the gnome-look themes based off OSX or Vista :( | 11:22 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Janine: You need to have root access to copy that file into a directory owned by root. | 11:22 |
| Janine | MrCoffeeTV: thanks, the last didnt work | 11:22 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Well, I didn't give the exact location, because I don't know it, Janine. | 11:23 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Anyway, I hope the settings work. | 11:23 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, is the message you pasted the exact error message you get ? | 11:23 |
| s7 | ' glebihan, when i use 'sudo service apache2 start' i get command not found | 11:23 |
| anygivenname | glebihan: yes | 11:23 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: Do the VPN connections exist in /etc/ppp/peers? Can you pon them? | 11:23 |

| Janine | still didnt work | 11:24 |
| Janine | no such file | 11:24 |
| aauthor | Does anyone know of something similar to deskbar for lxde (read lubuntu?) | 11:25 |
| cheek2cheek | theadmin, doesn't work. I reckon maybe this is only possible for mobile devices, like iphone, android, ipads... thats why they put m.hotmail.com m for mobile. | 11:25 |
| glebihan | s7, what release of ubuntu are you using ? | 11:25 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: i just used the network manager gui (they are previous ones from 10.10 ill check /etc/ppp/peers now | 11:25 |

| ThinkT510 | HerrVorragend: no worries :) | 11:28 |
| john__ | so can anyone help me please | 11:28 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, have you tried sending a mail directly with sendmail ? | 11:29 |

| anygivenname | glebihan: yes...tried with ssmtp & it gave me the same error | 11:29 |
| glebihan | s7, do you get any details on the error ? | 11:29 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, do you get to connect via telnet to your smtp server | 11:30 |
| anygivenname | glebihan: how can I do that ? | 11:30 |
| lightstream | john__: might not be anything to worry about from time to time i've had probs downloading updates, but it has been some misconfig issue which gets resolved in a day or two | 11:30 |

| glebihan | anygivenname, just type "telnet server_address port" | 11:31 |
| theadmin | s7: Now that's certainly awkward, because normally on Ubuntu apache uses /var/www, not "/htdocs" | 11:31 |
| theadmin | s7: Check your apache2.conf | 11:31 |
| cheek2cheek | theadmin, thanks anyway for your help | 11:31 |
| john__ | ah ok thanks | 11:32 |
| theadmin | cheek2cheek: No problem (I guess), sad it didn't work out | 11:32 |

| Socky_ | Hey guys, Im running ubuntu in a VM. I forget if i have 10.04 32 bit, or 64 bit. When I do a uname -a i get ... | 11:33 |
| Socky_ | Linux Caffeine 2.6.32-28-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 10 23:42:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 11:33 |
| Socky_ | is it normal to show 86 and 64? | 11:34 |
| theadmin | s7: Wish I could remember the syntax lol, sorry, I dunno | 11:34 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, you did run that from the same computer which runs the logwatch command, right ? | 11:34 |
| theadmin | Socky_: That's a regular 64-bit architecture | 11:34 |
| glebihan | s7, anything containing /htdocs | 11:34 |
| theadmin | Socky_: ixnay to worry about | 11:34 |
| Socky_ | if it was 32, it would only say x86? | 11:35 |
| theadmin | Socky_: It'd say i686 | 11:35 |
| anygivenname | glebihan: yes | 11:35 |
| s7 | glebihan, when i used /var/log/apache2/error.log.1, i get File does not exist: /htdocs | 11:35 |
| Har1equin | Morning all... | 11:35 |
| Socky_ | thanks | 11:35 |
| wols_ | Socky_: dpkg --print-architecture is theproper way to check what arch you run. uname -a doesn't show it properly | 11:36 |
| Har1equin | I have a non Ubuntu related question that I need help on, it's relating to blocking IP networks based on the IP address... | 11:36 |
| glebihan | s7, yes I saw that, that's why you should look for any line containing /htdocs in the apache2.conf file | 11:36 |
| Har1equin | I am designing a website and would like to redirect anyone visiting from outside the UK, i.e. not connecting on a UK based IP to another page. Is this possible...? | 11:36 |
| wols_ | s7: there is no such file usually. grep -r /htdocs /etc/apache2/ | 11:37 |
| wols_ | Har1equin: of couse it is | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | Har1equin, not to hard to get around either. :) | 11:37 |
| Har1equin | I have a list of all the networks, there's a hell of a lot. | 11:37 |
| wols_ | Har1equin: tho geetingaccess to a GeoIP DB might not be so easy | 11:37 |
| BlankVerse | how do i install grub on sda? | 11:38 |
| BlankVerse | i am looking for the exact command ... currently its installed by mistake on sdb and needs a pendrive to boot | 11:38 |
| dnivra | !grub2 | BlankVerse | 11:39 |
| ubottu | BlankVerse: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 11:39 |
| theadmin | BlankVerse: grub-install /dev/sda | 11:39 |
| Har1equin | wols_, I'm simpy thinking of displaying a splash screen or redirecring these users to a message that simply states that we can only sell the product "X" to UK residents. | 11:39 |
| theadmin | BlankVerse: That's about it | 11:39 |
| BlankVerse | theadmin: do i need net access for downloading grub | 11:39 |
| wols_ | Har1equin: i more meant stuff like "mode_rewrite, mod_redirect, a php script, etc | 11:39 |
| BlankVerse | theadmin: or is grub-install there by default | 11:39 |
| theadmin | BlankVerse: Possibly, I'm not sure what package is grub-install in. | 11:39 |
| anygivenname | glebihan: on ssmtp.conf.....it is outgoingserver:port | 11:39 |
| wols_ | BlankVerse: no. you already have grub-install | 11:40 |
| s7 | wols_, under /var/www, there is not htdocs | 11:40 |
| dr_willis | BlankVerse, sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc can give you a checkbox. or ive used a command like --<> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint /dev/sda --recheck | 11:40 |
| theadmin | !apt-file | BlankVerse | 11:40 |
| ubottu | BlankVerse: apt-file is a program that can tell you which package(s) contain(s) a given filename. To install it and generate the database it needs, run "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" | 11:40 |
| Har1equin | I'd write that later easily enough. I think...! | 11:40 |
| wols_ | s7: where did I talk about /var/www ? | 11:40 |
| s7 | glebihan, in apache2.conf, there is no line containing htdocs | 11:40 |
| BluesKaj | Hello all | 11:41 |
| s7 | wols_, grep -r /htdocs /etc/apache2 | 11:41 |
| wols_ | s7: once more: where did I talk about /var/www? | 11:41 |
| glebihan | s7, then use the command wols_ gave you to find in which files it appears : grep -r /htdocs /etc/apache2/ | 11:41 |
| theadmin | wols_: I think I talked about that. | 11:41 |
| s7 | wols_, it appears in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:<Directory "/var/www/htdocs"> | 11:43 |
| glebihan | anygivenname, I don't use ssmtp so I may not be of much help here | 11:43 |
| theadmin | s7: Set that simply to "/var/www" | 11:43 |
| wols_ | s7: /var/www/htdocs is not /htdocs | 11:43 |
| wols_ | s7: why did you edit your apache2 config and ow? | 11:44 |

| anygivenname | wols_: what do u mean ? | 11:47 |
| Pici | s7: Normally the httpd settings in Ubuntu are governed by the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ have you looked in there? | 11:47 |
| wols_ | anygivenname: I mean you to type that when connected to your MTA | 11:48 |
| lightstream | check the last line of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf to see if it's including the stuff in sites-enabled | 11:48 |
| lightstream | but yeah prob is | 11:48 |
| wols_ | Pici: the grep command did but drupal probably mangled his apache config totally and utterly | 11:48 |
| theadmin | Pici: Didn't it all used to be in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? | 11:49 |
| wols_ | lightstream: there is nothing in apache2.conf or rather there shouldn't be anything in there | 11:49 |
| wols_ | theadmin: not for a long time | 11:49 |
| s7 | Pici, /etc/apache2/sites-enabled does not contain httpd | 11:49 |
| s7 | wols_ Yes in a newbie but i can write | 11:50 |
| Pici | s7: httpd isn't a file, is there anything in that path? | 11:50 |
| lightstream | theadmin: it did all used to be in apache2.conf / httpd.conf, but was split out into separate subfolders, i think around the time apache 2 came out | 11:50 |
| s7 | Pici, no there is nothing in that path | 11:51 |
| lightstream | or similar | 11:51 |
| theadmin | lightstream: Meh, complicated... I just know the default setup uses /var/www/ for htdocs | 11:51 |
| lightstream | hmm lost a message | 11:52 |

| lightstream | do you have anything in that folder? | 11:54 |

| halabund | I installed ubuntu 11.04 for the first time, alongside WinXP, but it won't boot. I get a grub console. It has been like this for the past 3 versions of ubuntu I tried, none of them would boot on my machine. What can I do? | 11:56 |
| halabund | I have a grub console here. | 11:56 |
| s7 | wols_, when i run /var/log/apache2/error.log.1, i get /htdocs does not exist | 11:57 |

| wols_ | s7: run? | 11:57 |

| magpii_ | i installed winetricks, its not in any menu, do i also need to install a wine 1. something too | 12:00 |
| jhattara | does logrotate check for config every time it runs ? | 12:00 |
| theadmin | magpii_: winetricks is a shellscript. | 12:00 |
| theadmin | magpii_: Thus you run it inside the terminal, it's not in the menu | 12:00 |
| magpii_ | so the wine 1. something is the gui? | 12:00 |
| Spikehead777 | Hello everyone. | 12:01 |
| magpii_ | hi | 12:01 |
| theadmin | magpii_: See http://winehq.org for instructions on obtaining wine. | 12:01 |
| Spikehead777 | I have a USB551L mobile broadband card that works in Windows but not Ubuntu. | 12:01 |
| wols_ | s7: $deity knows what this drupal script broek in your apache2 config by writing all over | 12:01 |
| ThinkT510 | theadmin: it is always best to recommend people search the repos first | 12:01 |
| Spikehead777 | How do I make it work in Ubuntu? | 12:01 |
| theadmin | ThinkT510: You should use the Wine PPA. | 12:02 |
| theadmin | ThinkT510: Not install the version from Ubuntu repos, which is always horribly outdated | 12:02 |
| wols_ | s7: since you don't understand the apache2 config I suggest to purge apache, reinstall it and use the drupal6 from the repos in the future | 12:02 |
| magpii_ | is wine 1.2 more stable than 1.3? | 12:02 |
| theadmin | magpii_: Wouldn't really say that | 12:03 |
| ThinkT510 | theadmin: i don't bother with ppa's, they aren't officially supported | 12:03 |
| theadmin | ThinkT510: As is compiling from source, so? | 12:03 |
| fbsd | i have upgraded to gnome3 but X dont start now | 12:03 |
| theadmin | ThinkT510: "officially supported" is boring and outdated, thus look for a ways to get the latest software yourself. PPAs are easier to handle than source-code. | 12:03 |
| halabund | anyone familiar with the grub 2 recovery console? | 12:03 |
| fbsd | X start with fluxbox but not with gnome3 | 12:04 |
| theadmin | fbsd: Unfortunately, Ubuntu does not support Gnome3. | 12:04 |
| s7 | wols_, ur right coz it was after the attempted drupal set up that issues started | 12:04 |
| theadmin | !gnome3 | fbsd | 12:04 |
| ubottu | fbsd: 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. | 12:04 |
| s7 | wols_, i will try that | 12:04 |
| micols | where do I get xt_state from for ubuntu? | 12:05 |
| micols | it isnt in my dist | 12:05 |
| magpii_ | whats a meta package? | 12:05 |
| theadmin | magpii_: A meta package is a package which depends on a bunch of other packages, yet provides nothing itself | 12:05 |
| theadmin | magpii_: Example: ubuntu-desktop | 12:05 |
| magpii_ | thanks | 12:05 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: so sorry - had an unexpected visitor. Might i ask what you response was to my last reply? | 12:05 |
| dnivra | magpii_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages for more info if you're interested. | 12:05 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: If you'd re-send that last reply, sure. I think I forget what I write to whom. | 12:06 |
| hyperstrum | I checked /etc/ppp/peers/ and had a single listing to a file called providers | 12:07 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: Try "sudo pon provider", see if that gives anything. | 12:07 |
| jhattara | Spikehead777, do you get your Ubuntu register the existance of the modem at all ? | 12:07 |
| FxIII | hi all i have an Ubuntu 11.04 and i have apt-get that tells me that cant authenticate packages | 12:08 |
| nstridesout_ | any one knowing where i can get a dosbox manual? | 12:09 |
| Spikehead777 | It sees it. I click on the network button at the top of the screen and see Novatel Wireless 4G as one of the devices | 12:09 |
| mooru | i just installed ubuntu natty but how do i downgrade php5.3 to php5.2 for drupal | 12:09 |
| halabund | after first instlal, I get a grub recovery prompt. What do I do? | 12:09 |
| theadmin | nstridesout_: Type "INTRO" inside dosbox. | 12:09 |
| Spikehead777 | I tried to configure it with some IP settings I took from Windows... that didn't work. | 12:09 |
| traskers | I can't seem to reboot my computer from Gnome (it simply logs me out and throws me to the GDM screen, and I don't even have an option to restart from there!) | 12:09 |
| jhattara | Spikehead777, have you disabled the PIN query on the modem ? | 12:09 |
| nstridesout_ | theadmin:thanx man let me try that | 12:09 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: /usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem' | 12:10 |
| wols_ | nstridesout_: /usr/share/docs/dosbox ? | 12:10 |
| senayar | is it possible to connect gc in pci express 2.0 on motherboard with pci express 16x ? | 12:10 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: Huh... Okay, that's weird | 12:10 |
| Spikehead777 | PIN query... I don't think so, I'd have to double check though. | 12:10 |
| wols_ | senayar: and this is ubuntu related how? | 12:10 |
| wols_ | senayar: your question is all wrong tho anyways | 12:10 |
| halabund | how can I load the linux kernel from a grub prompt? | 12:10 |
| nstridesout_ | wols: thanx too | 12:10 |
| Icehawk78 | How difficult is it to map a samba share via a machine on another network connected via SSH? | 12:11 |
| theadmin | halabund: In GRUB1 it used to be like "kernel /boot/vmlinuz26", but now... idk | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | Icehawk78, it should work. but ive never tried it. | 12:11 |
| wols_ | halabund: Icehawk78 not hard at all. convoluted and slow but easy | 12:11 |
| wols_ | Icehawk78: totall straight forward | 12:11 |
| dr_willis | Icehawk78, watch the permissions on the sshfs mountpoint | 12:11 |
| wols_ | halabund: you can but you need about 4-5 lines | 12:12 |
| jhattara | Spikehead777, many USB modems that work on linux work properly only after you have first disabled the PIN query, you should first try putting it into a Windows computer and disabling PIN query through the windows interface, no idea if it helps with this specific modem, but at least that has worked for all the USB modems i've tried with linux | 12:12 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: Its very strange - cause normally your should be able to click the wifi icon and hit Edit Connections, or even 'Disconnect' to disconnect from the current network ~ the buttons hover and click properly, just with no result/reaction. I was using Gnome and the upgrade gave me unity could there be an issue here perhaps ? | 12:12 |
| Spikehead777 | I see. | 12:12 |
| Spikehead777 | I didn't have to change anything to get my old USB727 to work. It was pretty much all plug 'n' play. | 12:12 |
| halabund | wols_, theadmin: I get a recovery prompt after a fresh install, in any version past 9.10. Ubuntu simply doesn't work on this machine. At this point I have wasted countless hours and I'm extremely frustrated. Is there anyone here who is familair with grub 2? | 12:12 |
| wols_ | halabund: grub.cfg exists? | 12:13 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: Well, I dunno, possibly... Upgrading Ubuntu is a bad idea | 12:13 |
| ThinkT510 | !grub2 | halabund | 12:13 |
| ubottu | halabund: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 12:13 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: It's easier to reinstall | 12:13 |
| Icehawk78 | wols_ or dr_willis: Got anywhere that you could point me to for getting it set up? I'm familiar with connecting a samba drive on the same network, and I have a tunnel set up, but I haven't the foggiest where to start (or even necessarily what to look for) | 12:14 |
| allu2 | Hello, Me and my friend have made small python program and would want to pack it to .deb and get it in the repos, however neather of us has ever packed deb and know the procedure to get program to the repos. | 12:14 |
| halabund | wols_: how could I know?? As I said, it doesn't even boot after a first install. | 12:14 |
| wols_ | theadmin: best reason not to use a distro I've ever heard | 12:14 |
| theadmin | wols_: Hehe :D | 12:14 |
| theadmin | wols_: And I don't use it | 12:14 |
| wols_ | halabund: use a live cd and look onto the harddisk | 12:14 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: agreed. i figured ubuntu has come along way since i last did an upgrade and had all sorts of issues :) | 12:15 |
| allu2 | has never packed* nor know procedure* | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | Icehawk78, set up the sshfs , then edit smb.conf or use the rightclick/share method to make the share... | 12:15 |
| Icehawk78 | dr_willis: Sounds good, I'll look into that, thanks :) | 12:16 |
| wols_ | allu2: look at the source of outher pure python packages and look at this. the .deb source that is | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | Icehawk78, or you could just use winscp on the windows box to access the ssh machine. | 12:16 |
| theadmin | hyperstrum: Well, upgrades still have problems. Reasons why, say, Mint recommends a reinstall over upgrade | 12:16 |
| allu2 | wols_: any ideas for a package? | 12:16 |
| halabund | wols_: that'll take another 15 minutes, to reboot with cd, figure out how to check, etc. I did this already too many times. It's a fresh successful instlal so it should exists. What I need is find out how to boot from a grub prompt. This must be possible without that file. Here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 at step 8. I get a "cannot read the linux header error". | 12:17 |
| wols_ | not really, sorry | 12:17 |
| G0R | allu2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356 | 12:18 |
| wols_ | halabund: which command? | 12:18 |
| hyperstrum | theadmin: thanks for the help champ, heading off ~ | 12:18 |
| halabund | wols_: search for rescue prompt boot instructions on that page. Step 8 there. | 12:19 |
| wols_ | halabund: you don't answer me, you solve your problems alone. good day | 12:19 |
| nstridesout_ | how can i access and use the ubuntu one cloud? | 12:19 |
| theadmin | nstridesout_: Recent versions of Ubuntu come with Ubuntu One preinstalled, however I suggest you use Dropbox instead. | 12:20 |
| ThinkT510 | !one | nstridesout_ | 12:20 |
| ubottu | nstridesout_: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 12:20 |

| ThinkT510 | halabund: he asked you which command | 12:21 |
| ThinkT510 | halabund: that list has several commands | 12:21 |
| nstridesout_ | theadmin, ubottu: it doesnt seem like its free!!!! A little intimidated by the site i guess. Any quickies in setting up and running? | 12:22 |
| halabund | ThinkT510: I said step 8, twice. here, out of context --> linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdXY ro | 12:22 |
| Pici | micols: Perhaps you should ask your vps provider how their kernel was built. | 12:23 |
| Morkel | Which virtualisation system should i use? Xen or KVM? | 12:23 |
| wols_ | micols: when you run under a VPS, you cannot load kernel modules and such. you don't have any access to your kernel, cause it's a VPS | 12:24 |
| wols_ | Morkel: kvm probably at this time | 12:24 |
| Morkel | wols_: why at this time? | 12:24 |
| wols_ | cause virtualization has very dynamic | 12:25 |

| krambiorix | hi guys, with ssh on a webserver copy files to a remote server with the user docuser. Now on my webserver i want to add www-data toe the docuser group. So the docuser group doesn't exist on the webserver. How can i solve this?? | 12:25 |
| Morkel | wols_: and why is kvm better then xen? i tested both but i think kvm is a littel bit complexer then xen | 12:26 |
| wols_ | #no Xen kernels needed | 12:26 |
| Morkel | wols_: yes this sucks | 12:26 |
| OsakaFoo | krambiorix: groupadd docuser - this will create a docuser group | 12:26 |

| magpii_ | whats playonlinux? | 12:56 |
| theadmin | magpii_: A way to run a whole ton of Windows games on Linux | 12:56 |

| FxIII | any idea? is a comon issue? | 13:22 |

| tobi468 | Hi, How can I force an password change to all Samba Users?(with ldap) I tried to set sambaPwdMustChange: 1 / 0 | 13:29 |
| ikonia | tobi468: what is acting as your domain controller ? | 13:30 |
| tobi468 | openldap | 13:30 |
| ikonia | tobi468: got multiple servers, or just one ? | 13:31 |
| llutz | AdvoWork: working: less /var/lib/spamassassin/spamd.log | 13:31 |
| tobi468 | Just one | 13:31 |
| tobi468 | sry, more | 13:31 |
| ikonia | tobi468: first, check they are in sync, as for some mental reason Samba tends to not authorize against the primary | 13:31 |
| ikonia | tobi468: second, actually do an ldap query and check if the field is updated | 13:32 |
| Joymo | hi, I am suffering from the "kernel panic on reboot" issue as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting The solution is apparantly modifying grub.conf. Now, I have this issue while installing Ubuntu from USB key, how would I go about changing the grub.conf the installer will install on my SSD, where do I find the file to edit? thanks! | 13:32 |
| ikonia | tobi468: that is the first steps for me | 13:32 |
| nhocht | hello | 13:32 |
| tobi468 | The value was set on the Primary Server. I used ldapsearch to be sure that the entry is set. | 13:32 |
| nhocht | how could I install ibus on 11.04? | 13:33 |
| ikonia | tobi468: if you query the slave, is it set ? | 13:33 |
| krambiorix | hi guys, with ssh on a webserver i want to copy files to a remote server with the user docuser. Now on my webserver i created the docuser group and added www-data to it. But i have a permission denied error. What could this be? The docuser on the remote server can write and read files on this server.... | 13:33 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: show me the permissions on the directory you want to copy to please. | 13:33 |
| lightstream | what are the file perms | 13:34 |
| nhocht | how could I install ibus on 11.04? | 13:34 |

| Joymo | anyone any idea how to modify grub.conf inside the install image? :/ | 13:37 |
| ikonia | tobi468: it's a client thing, or a genuine AD setting, I don't know how that would map through to ldap, investigating | 13:37 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: ok, so you have a problem with permissions | 13:37 |
| === lacravate_nouill is now known as lacravate_NY | ||
| Joymo | or is there a way to specify grub parameters during the installer somehow, I did not see any way of doing that | 13:38 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 782013 in scala (Ubuntu) "Package scala 2.9.0 final" [Undecided,Fix released] | 13:43 |
| DanC_ | I can't figure out how to get that fix; any clues? | 13:43 |
| cdubya | ok, that's insane. added gksu to the command call for the firefox launcher and once I keyed my pwd was able to view the sites that wouldn't show up fine. What's with that change? | 13:44 |
| dyd | i've installed ubuntu with wubi on windows 7, but when i turn the pc on it just shows windows 7 / windows vista as bootable os... how can i add ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| jrib | cdubya: hopefully that's just to troubleshoot... | 13:44 |
| DanC_ | dyd, you have to install ubuntu as a peer of windows 7 to see it at the boot prompt. wubi installs ubuntu inside windows. | 13:44 |
| ikonia | tobi468: there is a setting in AD (MS) that shows the period of sessions to cache before re-authentication is required, I'm wondering if there is an LDAP mirror of this | 13:45 |
| Boomboy | DanC_: When you install ubuntu over windows, you will have both options to boot into | 13:45 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: please repastebin the output of "ls -la" ont he directory again please | 13:45 |
| Boomboy | oh nvm | 13:45 |
| jrib | DanC_: check -backports or -proposed or rebuild the source package on your release | 13:45 |
| cdubya | jrib, I don't know.....I'm going to try to run it this way for a bit and see that the sites I was having troubles with display properly. All I know is running it normally under my user would NOT display the text content on the sites..... | 13:45 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, on the mount point or the real directory? | 13:46 |
| jrib | cdubya: this is a very silly idea... | 13:46 |
| DanC_ | Boomboy, really? Sorry to misinform then. But that doesn't seem to be dyd's experience. | 13:46 |
| jrib | cdubya: see if it happens with a fresh new user | 13:46 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: the permissions should be the same | 13:46 |
| Boomboy | DanC_: my bad. | 13:46 |
| callumh | anyone know if the gn-wn50g-rh wireless card works in Ubuntu? | 13:46 |
| * DanC_ isn't sure how to turn -proposed into a full URL; goes hunting... | 13:46 | |
| bullgard4_ | [Lucid] Why does '~$ lsof /var/log/dmesg' not produce any output? | 13:47 |
| dyd | DanC_, Boomboy: when i first did that on another pc, it showed up at boot | 13:47 |
| * DanC_ finds https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed | 13:47 | |
| krambiorix | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/2s23ZpFN | 13:47 |
| cdubya | jrib, I understand that it's silly, but I never had an issue before. I'm trying to remember if the issue existed before a firefox update was rolled out through update manager.... | 13:47 |
| tomek_ | what is good partition manager for ubuntu? | 13:47 |
| jrib | DanC_: system -> administration -> software sources (DO NOT upgrade your system with -proposed, just check if the scala package is there. If it is install only that package and then disable the repo, if not then just disable the repo. | 13:47 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: now please show me the outpuf of the command "id" from the user you are trying to copy the files in as | 13:47 |
| Boomboy | DanC_: you might want to boot using live cd and see whats happening | 13:47 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: (also you may want to fix the ownership of the directory as 20001 is not a valid user it's a uid that appears to have been removed) | 13:48 |
| jrib | cdubya: try with a fresh new user | 13:48 |
| DanC_ | Boomboy, I think you meant that advice for dyd? | 13:48 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, id: uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data),20001(docuser) | 13:48 |

| DanC_ | "fix released" seems kinda misleading. The words seem to mean "fix made available to users" but it evidently has some other, more subtle meaning | 13:51 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/NcYV3VWf | 13:51 |
| jrib | DanC_: it's released in oneiric | 13:51 |
| * DanC_ didn't realize oneiric was available | 13:52 | |
| jrib | DanC_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status | 13:52 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: ok, so there is the problem, it's a file, not a directory | 13:52 |
| jrib | DanC_: it's in development | 13:52 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: you can't put more files into a file, it needs to be a directory | 13:52 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, i think it's a sym link | 13:52 |
| cdubya | jrib, same problem on fresh user. Actually worse when I did the first google search from the toolbar. Wouldn't even display the text links on the google results. | 13:52 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: run "file /home/docmount" | 13:52 |

| jrib | callumh: I see. Maybe search the forums too? | 13:54 |

| jrib | callumh: you could contact the manufacturer maybe | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | danjs_, it's about to release bata version tomorrow , still in dev stage | 13:55 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: your file system is very messed up - what have you done to it to cause a problem | 13:55 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: did something happen to your machine ? | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | err sorry danjs_ | 13:56 |
| AdvoWork | if ive got a user logged onto my system, can i see what they are doing? in terms of commands? | 13:56 |
| callumh | jrib: they have a support section and the card is on their but they only have windows drivers with no mention of linux at all | 13:56 |
| ikonia | AdvoWork: "w" | 13:56 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, i think the settings changed because of run file /home/docmount | 13:56 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: a run file ??? what was this file ? | 13:56 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, the /home/docmount is a sym link | 13:56 |
| quick- | \quit bye | 13:56 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: according to that - it's not a symlink, your file system is messed up | 13:56 |
| bashelina | asdf | 13:57 |
| jrib | callumh: wouldn't hurt to contact them directly and ask though | 13:57 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, that's the sshfs mountpoint to the doc server | 13:57 |
| callumh | jrib: indeed | 13:57 |
| ikonia | it should still have a valid permissions entry | 13:57 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: sure, try pgrep -u USER | 13:58 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, i didn't change it | 13:58 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: something has happened to your machine | 13:58 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, maybe because i added the group writing permissions to the real folder on the doc server? | 13:59 |
| jrib | AdvoWork: if you need something more, maybe try "whowatch" | 13:59 |
| jrwren | AdvoWork: you could also watch their .bash_history file assuming they are using bash and it is configured properly | 13:59 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: no, something has happened to your local machine | 13:59 |

| krambiorix | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/tQ8Z9HEj | 14:04 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: because nothing has it open | 14:04 |
| cdubya | jrib, yes. I've removed the .mozilla folder, autoremoved and re-installed as well. No difference | 14:04 |
| edbian | bullgard4_: because none of those files are open at the instant you ran the command | 14:04 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: ok - so looks "ok" some minor issues that uid 1000 no longer has a username mapped to it | 14:04 |
| jrib | cdubya: is there something different in the html or is it just a display problem? | 14:05 |
| khamer | I've found bugs that mention this, but they all refer to files like /lib/udev/70-hid2hci.rules that flat out _doesn't_ exist on my system | 14:05 |

| cdubya | jrib, that's why I asked initially. It doesn't have the issue on every site, which made me think there was an issue with how it was rendering pages. | 14:06 |

| jrib | OldFarter: what was in it? | 14:11 |
| OldFarter | root and swap | 14:12 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, i just read this: Note, that it's recommended to run it as user, not as root. For this to work the mountpoint must be owned by the user. | 14:12 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, that is about mounting the server | 14:12 |
| jrib | OldFarter: are you sure there should be something in /home? | 14:12 |
| dbolser | hello | 14:12 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: keep with me on this, if I'm right, I'll explain it properly for you | 14:12 |
| OldFarter | There is no partitions other than windows root and some tiny system partition | 14:12 |
| OldFarter | so yes | 14:12 |
| dbolser | I was told to add "deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free" to my sources.list | 14:12 |
| khamer | Any ideas on how to debug why ubuntu is now incapable of working with a keyboard previous versions worked with? | 14:12 |
| OldFarter | i am sure the ubuntu system was all on one partition | 14:13 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, ok go ahead | 14:13 |
| dbolser | but I get an error about NO_PUBKEY | 14:13 |
| OldFarter | jrib, unless cfdisk on my desktop is lying to me? | 14:13 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: give me the info first, lets find out if I'm right, then I can explain it properly | 14:13 |
| dbolser | I'm on squeeze/sid | 14:13 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, sure | 14:14 |
| dbolser | is it right to add that deb for this distro? | 14:14 |
| jrib | OldFarter: are you sure you didn't delete the contents of /home? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: I'm %90 certain so this won't be a waste of time | 14:14 |
| OldFarter | yes | 14:14 |
| jrib | dbolser: if you are using ubuntu, you should NOT add debian repositories | 14:14 |
| dbolser | jrib: this development team told me to do it | 14:15 |
| jrib | dbolser: "this development team"? | 14:15 |
| dbolser | group of developers I'm supposed to be working with | 14:15 |
| jrib | dbolser: are you using ubuntu or debian? | 14:15 |
| dbolser | nothing to do with ubuntu / debian... I'm using ubuntu | 14:15 |
| OldFarter | jrib, I was using it.... then i turn of the laptop, take out HD insert SSD... plug old HD in usb box and here iam | 14:15 |
| jrib | dbolser: why did you say you are using "squeeze/sid"? | 14:16 |
| dbolser | jrib: they have some instructions on setting up a dev environment | 14:16 |
| dbolser | jrib: sorry, quite new to ubuntu, I just looked in /etc/debian_version | 14:16 |
| dbolser | I think this is 11.04 | 14:16 |
| dbolser | (ubuntu) | 14:16 |
| jrib | dbolser: adding that repository will break your ubuntu install | 14:16 |
| dbolser | thanks for your help jrib | 14:17 |

| ikonia | krambiorix: sshfs is userspace, so the permissions are locked to the user you mounted it as | 14:23 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: if you mount it as the user you want to use, your problems will go away | 14:24 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, yeah i'll try | 14:24 |

| OldFarter | jrib, Do you know how big of an impact the encrypted home have on preformance | 14:25 |
| OldFarter | ? | 14:25 |
| jrib | mrdeb: « man udisks » talks about --detach powering down the physical port of the device, so I'd guess that's what you should do | 14:26 |
| mrdeb | jrib: does detach unmont first then power off | 14:26 |

| compdoc | mrdeb, no | 14:29 |
| OldFarter | jrib, i guess most of all the pain i feel when booting the old drive is the inherent slowness of the twirling disk vs ssd | 14:29 |
| gremlin | lol | 14:29 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, hmm would that be a safe thing to do? | 14:29 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, to mount it as www-data | 14:29 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: yes, it's only a mount point | 14:29 |
| jrib | OldFarter: have not experienced the joys of ssd personally, but I hear good things | 14:29 |
| mrdeb | i know solid disk | 14:30 |
| mrdeb | it is good for startup but slower to write file | 14:30 |
| mrdeb | so if you install a lot or copy, its slower | 14:30 |

| xangua | Bisu[Shield]: remember to back up ;) | 14:37 |
| Bisu[Shield] | so that issue is that i cannot resize the partions that the OS is running on | 14:37 |
| jnsl_ | mneptok haha sounds like an even better solution ! | 14:37 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, nono, it just says that in this file on that line No such file or directory in /var/www/web4/web/upload.php on line 171 -> it can't create the file / dir | 14:37 |

| krambiorix | ikonia, it works!!!!! | 14:39 |

| ikonia | krambiorix yes, that's nothing to do with what you've done, you've mounted a directory called /home/docuuser on your local machine on /home/docuser on your server, that will have no effect on /var/www/web4/web | 14:40 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, yeah but now it works! | 14:40 |
| OldFarter | jrib, so home dir read speed is a noticeable factor in perceived responsiveness, but for most applications this is short bursts of read from small config files | 14:40 |

| schnuffle | i0x71: I think so as well, nut not sure | 15:02 |
| jrwren | sipior: i was thinking the same thing, but will cron.allow be enforced on those jobs? | 15:02 |
| sneakyimp | ikonia: nearly default. weirdly, default comes with users like games, list, irc, etc. | 15:02 |
| sipior | jrwren: no, because root is running them :-) | 15:02 |
| ikonia | sneakyimp: then you'll find there are no cronjobs for users by default | 15:02 |
| sneakyimp | ikonia: i have installed tiger and samhain so far. tiger has cron jobs. | 15:02 |
| jrwren | sipior: cron.allow/deny is enforced at crontab execution time, not at cron running jobs execution time. right? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | sneakyimp: tiger ? | 15:03 |
| sneakyimp | sipior: any thoughts on how this might conflict with /etc/cron.allow file? | 15:03 |
| sneakyimp | ikonia: apt-cache search tiger | 15:04 |
| jrwren | sneakyimp: you following sipior and my converstaion? I'm pretty sure it won't effect at all. | 15:04 |

| ikonia | !info tiger | 15:04 |

| romin | Can anybody help me? | 15:05 |
| sneakyimp | jrwren: trying to keep up. not sure what it means. sounds like install packages use the root crontab to create jobs and are therefore not affected by /etc/cron.allow ? | 15:06 |
| jrwren | sneakyimp: yes, they won't be effected. cron.allow just regulates users ability to invoke the crontab command. not to use the cron system. | 15:09 |

| mrdeb | romin: install ati drivers | 15:14 |
| wols_ | romin: could you upgrade to 10.10 and then 11.04? cause back when 10.04 was made, there was no 6770M yet in existance, so its drivers don't know about it | 15:14 |
| sneakyimp | jrwren: thanks. | 15:14 |
| mrdeb | from jockey | 15:14 |
| wols_ | romin: you could either backport fglrx or you could also run the ati.com drivers directly, tho that is not supported | 15:14 |
| schnuffle | jrwren: most of the time there's a better way, but I'm satisfied with a "good enough" way :) | 15:14 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, no , it appears that when you see question marks, you don't have privileges to see the mount point | 15:14 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: huh ? | 15:15 |
| romin | wols_, So there is no way that I could get working drivers on 10.04? | 15:15 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, ow you didn't see, the ???? were back | 15:15 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: the question marks are because it can't work out the permissions to display them for you, which is a real worry | 15:15 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, yeah | 15:15 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: if you have no access it should be able to list why you have no access | 15:15 |
| romin | I'm not an advanced user | 15:15 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, yeah true | 15:16 |
| wols_ | romin: there is.I gave you two ways, one supported, one not: backport or ati.com drivers | 15:16 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: have you lost write access again ? | 15:16 |
| sneakyimp | another server-hardening question. tiger reports a list of users that are disabled, but have a valid shell. e.g., backup, bin daemon, etc. the advice it gives is to use vipw to set the default shell for these users to /bin/false. Could that cause problems? Which default ubuntu users MUST have a shell? | 15:16 |
| romin | I already installed the driver from ati.com and it did not work. | 15:16 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, nono, i checked it with the wrong user | 15:16 |
| romin | And I do not know what "backporting" means, or how to go about doing it | 15:16 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: ahh good | 15:16 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, one last question: if i restart my server the mountpoint will be gone.... can automatically create the mount point when the server starts? | 15:17 |
| wols_ | romin: taking source code from a later ubuntu release and compiling and then installing it in an older one | 15:17 |
| biglinux | .anonnet.org | 15:17 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: the mount point won't be gone, only the fact that it won't be mounted, just re-mount it | 15:17 |
| jrwren | sneakyimp: good question. i don't know that anyone knows. i also dont' know why having a default shell is a security concern. | 15:18 |
| krambiorix | ikonia, but can't the mounting be done automatically when the server starts? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | krambiorix: I think it can, the problem is it's a userspace mount, not a system mount, so it would have to be done when you user is logged in | 15:18 |

| aatish | hi everyone. i want to know what command must be run to check for ext4 filesystem consistency | 15:24 |
| ikonia | aatish: fsck | 15:24 |
| ikonia | aatish: however the file system must not be mounted | 15:24 |
| sneakyimp | what does it mean when someone's default shell in /etc/passwd is /bin/false? Does this prevent login? Suppose I were to do this for www-data -- would that cause problems? Would it prevent use of functions like exec in PHP, for instance? | 15:25 |
| zen933k | Eighteens: Have you tried changing the audio levels? | 15:25 |
| sneakyimp | Eighteens: did you connect the correct cable from your motherboard to your computer case? (not a valid question if you didn't assemble the computer) | 15:26 |
| aatish | ikonia: yup i know. but what the exact command to run to automatically correct error with out destroying the data. is it fsck -a? | 15:26 |
| ikonia | aatish: you shouldn't run it automatically, as autofixing certain issues can cause damage | 15:26 |
| ikonia | aatish: also "man fsck" if you know the command for all the options | 15:26 |
| ikonia | aatish: it's not -a | 15:26 |
| Eighteens | yes, i tried audio levels, and i did build the computer, it does work beautifully from live cd, as well as other os's | 15:27 |

I am trying to configure my system to do a dual boot of Win7 x64 and Ubuntu x64, with my hard drives in a RAID 10 configuration.

Should I use that utility to setup my RAID, or should I use something w | 15:30 |

| sneakyimp | takamoru: that sounds really tricky. I tend to doubt that ubuntu will have a win 7 raid driver. each RAID scheme tends to have its own pecularities | 15:32 |

| milen8204 | will try | 15:32 |
| sneakyimp | takamoru: if hardware is taking care of the RAID, you'd probably have better luck | 15:32 |
| Bisu[Shield] | am I invisible wth? | 15:32 |
| takamarou | sneakyimp, Right. Unfortunately this particular desktop doesn't have support for hardware-based RAID | 15:33 |
| sneakyimp | someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if one formats one's drives as RAID using the win 7 raid, then ubuntu will not be able to interpret that RAID ? | 15:33 |
| Pici | Bisu[Shield]: I can see you. | 15:33 |

| sneakyimp | takamarou: perhaps you could use a RAID card? these are kinda pricey AFAIK | 15:33 |
| sneakyimp | takamarou: you might consider a different MOBO? there are MANY affordable ones with built-in RAID. it's very common these days. | 15:34 |

| sneakyimp | romin: that forum link looks like those guys may have had some luck (see the post by weezilla) but that it's still a bit dodgy. Not sure what to tell you. Your card is very new. Also, I'm not familiar with backporting. | 15:54 |
| sneakyimp | romin: try posting in there with those dudes while you continue to seek answers. | 15:55 |
| romin | alright sneakyimp, thanks | 15:56 |
| asteve | wols_: is it guaranteed that the package I want is in backports? I don't want anything else using backports; only this specific package | 15:56 |
| wols_ | asteve: no it's not. and I meant you should backport it yourself. just installing might work if you are lucky, but usually it doesn't. and never ever put natty binary deb repos into your sources.list | 15:57 |
| wols_ | at least not as long as you run lucid | 15:58 |
| asteve | wols_: in regards to the sources.list, i'm well aware; the package installs cleanly on lucid; the problem is that i want to use puppet to maintain it and that requires creating my own repo or using some other means | 15:58 |
| wols_ | what package is it? | 15:58 |

| jerriy | I'm listening to a stream (via totem) and I can't remove the 'visualization' | 16:10 |
| TITANO | can anyone help me with anjuta? is quite annoying actually that 'feature' | 16:10 |
| jerriy | By visualization I mean the graphics that comes up when the stream is only audio (not video) | 16:11 |
| sneakyimp | What is the user 'daemon' for ? | 16:13 |
| ikonia | sneakyimp: not much any more, it's legacy | 16:13 |
| sneakyimp | ikonia: anything at all? if i'm not mistaken, my samhain notifications appear to be coming from this user. | 16:14 |
| ikonia | sneakyimp: some applications may still use it it's an account for use by daemons, but most don't use it any more, hence legacy | 16:15 |

| jerriy | Anyone with who can help me on how to shut off the media player visualization? | 16:16 |
| zkam | I'm booted up in Ubuntu with a LiveCD USB drive, and I would like to install persistent Linux Mint on another USB drive | 16:16 |
| ikonia | AFD: manager ? non-manager ? | 16:16 |
| GirlyGirl | zkam: Have you already installed ubuntu | 16:16 |
| zkam | ideally, I would like to do something like PortableLinux, which will allow me to use extra space on the drive as storage space to use in Windows, etc | 16:17 |
| zkam | GirlyGirl, no | 16:17 |
| ikonia | zkam: you would need to boot the mint installer to install mint, | 16:17 |
| zkam | I'm actually on a library (public) computer LOL | 16:17 |
| AlexDevilLX | Ubuntu ssh with web | 16:18 |
| zkam | or, is it possible to make my LiveCD (USB) persistent without reinstalling it? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | !install | zkam | 16:18 |
| ubottu | zkam: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:18 |
| ikonia | zkam: look in the usb section of this guide there are notes on how to make it persistant | 16:18 |
| jerriy | Just to clarify: it's the web-embedded totem (via the browser plugin) | 16:18 |
| AlexDevilLX | Ok, how to install ssh server + web client | 16:20 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: web client ? | 16:20 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: open the package manager and serch for "ssh" it will install the openssh server and client for you | 16:20 |
| AlexDevilLX | like http://vnc.alexdevillx.ax.lt | 16:20 |
| zkam | my options are limited on this machine. I can't do anything that requires Windows Admin rights or permanently saving files to the hard drive | 16:21 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: thats a vnc client, so you'd need a vnc server to connect to it | 16:21 |
| fbsd | how i can check if a package is obsolete? | 16:21 |
| ikonia | zkam: windows has nothing to do with it, if you're booting from a cd/usb | 16:21 |
| AlexDevilLX | ikonia, i know | 16:21 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: ok....so why are you not asking how to install a vnc server/client ? rather than a "web client" | 16:22 |
| AlexDevilLX | i'm asking about ssh | 16:22 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: then why did you link to a vnc web page ? | 16:22 |
| zkam | does anyone know anything about PortableLinux? https://launchpad.net/~portablelinux/+archive/ppa | 16:22 |
| AlexDevilLX | to show you how that works | 16:22 |
| zkam | it seems outdated | 16:23 |
| AlexDevilLX | i need same but in ssh | 16:23 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: ???? I'm sorry I don't understand you asked for ssh and a web client, I've told you how to install ssh, and then I've told you that the web client is in vnc | 16:23 |
| llutz | AlexDevilLX: why don#t you put your confusing single words into a complete question, which makes clear WHAT you really want to know? | 16:23 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: you want to ssh from a web page ? | 16:23 |
| AlexDevilLX | no not in vnc | 16:23 |
| AlexDevilLX | yes | 16:23 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: that's not really a good idea, as the web page would be unencypted | 16:23 |
| AlexDevilLX | heh any idea? | 16:24 |
| zkam | is Mint better than Ubuntu for a beginner? | 16:24 |
| ikonia | zkam: no | 16:24 |
| llutz | AlexDevilLX: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mressl/webshell/ | 16:24 |
| popey | shellinabox? | 16:24 |
| AlexDevilLX | yes that | 16:24 |
| zkam | ok, then why use Mint vs. Ubuntu? (without getting into a heated debate) | 16:25 |
| ikonia | zkam: personal choice, see which one you like | 16:25 |
| AFD | ikonia I was dissconnected but did my situation make sense? | 16:26 |
| jerriy | Can anyone who can help me (switch off visualization)? | 16:27 |
| ikonia | AFD: not really no, sorry. | 16:27 |
| kslater | anyone in here knowledgeable about GDCK dock and undock events? | 16:27 |
| jerriy | any reason for that? | 16:27 |
| zkam | ok, one more question... What's the easiest way to burn an ISO to USB drive (bootable) in Ubuntu? As I said, I'm booted in Ubuntu off USB, and have .iso for Mint - want to burn to another USB | 16:27 |
| AFD | ikonia it's not a strange scenario - an office manager wants the ability to control his staff's files | 16:28 |
| ikonia | zkam: do you want to boot the mint iso ? | 16:28 |
| zkam | yes | 16:28 |
| ikonia | AFD: ok - so use permissions to allow that, put him in the same groups as his staff | 16:28 |
| ikonia | zkam: use the same process you did with ubuntu to make the usb bootable, but using mint | 16:28 |
| zkam | and I don't think I can save anything to the hard drive in the process | 16:28 |
| ikonia | !mint > zkam | 16:28 |
| ubottu | zkam, please see my private message | 16:28 |
| zkam | I did that on my own Windows machine | 16:28 |
| AFD | ikonia but then his staff can also control each other's files no? | 16:28 |
| ikonia | zkam: also check out the pm ubottu has given you for mint support | 16:29 |
| AFD | ikonia I need the manager to have privileges and the other staff not | 16:29 |
| ikonia | AFD: no, as they will still be in their own groups, only he will be in all the groups | 16:29 |
| AFD | ikonia aaaaah ok! | 16:29 |
| AFD | ikonia thanks for the advice | 16:29 |
| eric__casel | Hi | 16:29 |
| olzhas | hey guys, | 16:29 |
| eric__casel | I was trying to install Java with the self-extracting RPM | 16:30 |
| olzhas | any libappindicator developers are here? | 16:30 |
| eric__casel | but when it asks for a password with su, the keyboard won't type anything | 16:30 |
| eric__casel | using sudo for the command is the same thing | 16:30 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: self extracting rpm ? | 16:30 |
| eric__casel | for java | 16:30 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: just use java out of the repos | 16:30 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: it's supported and packaged correctly | 16:30 |
| eric__casel | Minecraft doesn't like openJDK | 16:30 |
| eric__casel | but is official oracle java in the repos? | 16:31 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: there are other java options | 16:31 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: where did you get the self exracting rpm (never head of one before) | 16:31 |
| eric__casel | java.com....... | 16:31 |
| xangua | eric__casel: then use Oracle/Sun Java | 16:31 |
| xangua | !java | 16:31 |
| ubottu | 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. | 16:31 |

| envygeeks | What do you need to know olzhas? | 16:32 |
| zkam | thanks all | 16:32 |
| xangua | !anyone | olzhas jerriy | 16:32 |
| ubottu | olzhas jerriy: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 16:32 |
| sipior | jerriy: if you're not getting an answer, asking your question again every ten minutes or so is probably best. | 16:32 |
| ikonia | eric__casel: ahhh, it's not self extracting, it's just an rpm file (that's terrible wording) however there is a proper self extracting file on java.com | 16:32 |
| jerriy | sipior: OK I'll do that, thanks for the reply | 16:33 |
| eric__casel | where would it be? | 16:33 |
| eric__casel | that one would be one that either installs in a console window automatically or installs in the software center, right? | 16:34 |
| i0x71 | hmm, i have a nfs mount mounted on 6 machines, and once in a while "ls" freezes when getting a listeing of nfs files, this happens randomly on all of the machines, any suggestions what could be causing this ? | 16:34 |
| eric__casel | but also, why can't i type anything when it asks me for a password in the console? | 16:34 |
| Polah | jerriy: Turning off visualisation when playing music in Totem? | 16:34 |
| ikonia | i0x71: sounds like unstable network, or nfs server, it's qutie common | 16:34 |
| Polah | eric__casel: You can, it just doesn't show that anything is being typed. | 16:34 |
| eric__casel | ooohhhhhhh | 16:34 |
| eric__casel | stupid me | 16:34 |
| eric__casel | well, anyway | 16:35 |
| i0x71 | ikonia: any way to resolve this or atleast prevent ls from hanging ? | 16:35 |
| jerriy | Yes Yes Polah: | 16:35 |
| eric__casel | where's the thingy that installs itself? | 16:35 |
| sipior | i0x71: are these particularly large directories? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | i0x71: to stop ls hanging - you need to stablise whatever the problem is, | 16:35 |
| tazztenoize85 | hi need some help here | 16:35 |
| Pici | eric__casel: 'the thingy that installs itself' ? | 16:35 |
| ikonia | i0x71: look at the NFS mount options, they can help with debugging or minimising issues with slow/poor network | 16:35 |
| i0x71 | sipior: yes, there are around 70k of files | 16:36 |
| Polah | jerriy: Edit > Preferences > Display, under Visual Effects uncheck the box labelled "Show visual effects when an audio file is played. | 16:36 |
| eric__casel | apparently the "self-extracting RPM" isn't self-extracting | 16:36 |
| eric__casel | the Instructions page tells me to do things in the console | 16:36 |
| sipior | i0x71: you might consider organising them in smaller groups. | 16:36 |
| Pici | eric__casel: RPMs are not meant to be installed on Ubuntu. | 16:36 |
| i0x71 | ikonia: do you think "sync" option would fix this ? | 16:36 |
| eric__casel | ahhhhh | 16:36 |
| eric__casel | what about the non-RPM? | 16:36 |
| jerriy | When I tap into a stream (online radio for example) then the (embedded) totem appears in a new tab, at first it's black but then a second or two later this visualization comes up but I can't find the switch off (I just want to listen to the audio) | 16:36 |
| olzhas | envygeeks, there is no like a counterpart for the gtk_status_icon_set_from_pixbuf function in libappindicator | 16:36 |
| i0x71 | sipior: unfortunately that is not an optio | 16:37 |
| sipior | i0x71: nfs can be touchy for large numbers of files, especially if being accessed from multiple machines. | 16:37 |
| sneakyimp | more server hardening: GNU/tiger reports that i have a services database misconfiguration: a) The port for service ndtp is also assigned to service; b) The port for service ndtp is also assigned to service search | 16:37 |

| * sipior shrugs | 16:37 | |
| Pici | eric__casel: ubottu explained how to install sun's java. search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository | 16:37 |
| Pici | !partner | eric__casel | 16:37 |
| ubottu | eric__casel: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 16:37 |
| sneakyimp | i haven't the slightest idea what it means...can anyone help me understand | 16:37 |
| eric__casel | ahhhhhh | 16:37 |
| jerriy | Pola I'm not talking about the stand-alone playher but the one embedded in my browser | 16:37 |
| envygeeks | olzhas: if I remember right if you place indicator-status.ext in your gtk theme directory it should pick it up automatically | 16:38 |
| Polah | jerriy: I don't know about configuring that, sorry. | 16:39 |
| envygeeks | olzhas: sorry indicator-notify | 16:39 |
| Polah | jerriy: You can also use rhythmbox or banshee to listen to online radios | 16:39 |
| i0x71 | sipior: weird thing is, this only happens once in a while | 16:40 |
| olzhas | envygeeks, hm, icon is composed on the fly, then i need to set it up | 16:40 |
| i0x71 | sipior: and kill -9 "ls pid" doesnt seem to kill it either | 16:40 |
| om26er | i was wondering if there is a way i could get notification in xchat when a certain word is called | 16:41 |
| om26er | ? | 16:41 |
| sipior | i0x71: sure, i believe it. kill -9 won't work because the process is in "uninterruptible wait" (waiting on i/o, in fact) | 16:41 |
| jerriy | Yea that's what I'm doing but the default is totem (I have to right click on the embedded totem and then transfer the stream to a stand alone (that's how I'm doing now) but I wanted to sort the totem because that one is the default | 16:41 |
| om26er | or any other irc client (i can switch) | 16:41 |
| i0x71 | sipior: hm | 16:41 |
| i0x71 | sipior: do you think async option would help this ? | 16:41 |
| envygeeks | olzhas: Hmm...I don't quite remember if you can do it from your buffer | 16:42 |
| sipior | i0x71: could do, but it's really masking the problem. | 16:42 |
| sipior | i0x71: how fast is the network running to the NAS? | 16:42 |
| i0x71 | sipior: 10G | 16:42 |
| olzhas | envygeeks, I skimmed sources code of the library and also i haven't found that | 16:43 |
| sipior | i0x71: high packet loss? consider also examining the state of the NAS under load. | 16:43 |
| i0x71 | sipior: im thinking this has probably something to do with the box itself, the nas is located on the same switch | 16:44 |
| sipior | i0x71: also, have a look here, especially the optimisation section: http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/ | 16:44 |
| matzexh | hello, knows anyone how ubuntu is running on macbook air, Sony Vaio Z or Thinkpad X1?? Which features of this devices aren't supported? What problems can i have? | 16:44 |
| i0x71 | sipior: thanks | 16:44 |

| Pici | dario_: You may want to ask in #ubuntu-it (italian) if thats easier for you. | 17:03 |
| dario_ | thanky. I test ubuntu 5 years ago is fantastic. | 17:03 |
| xangua | dario_: if you want 11.04, you'll first need to upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04 | 17:03 |
| Pici | claviusmond: But how would you know where in the file the lines were supposed to go? | 17:03 |
| Abhijit | dario_, you can upgrade to new version without loosing your data in your /home directory. | 17:03 |

| ThinkT510 | Peyam: for people to help you may need to provide more info than "stops working" | 17:07 |
| veganadian | question: natty has libimobile 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 seems to be ready according to launchpad. but it's not in the release. how does one install the package that's unsupported ? or can 1.0.4 be bumped in? my knowledge on ubunut's package procedures is really limited. | 17:08 |
| om26er | lonewulf`tb, the problem might have happend like you turned off the system while something was installing and such | 17:08 |

| random4t4x14 | basically my issue is this, I recently inherited a Ubuntu 10.04 Server at the office. The only problem is they fired the old admin before doing dilligence, and sadly we now have a box that no one has the password too. In the past, I've been able to 'root' the server using a startup disc by booting into recovery mode | 17:10 |
| usr13 | Peyam: Does that do anything? | 17:10 |
| Peyam | usr13: nathin workds | 17:10 |
| Peyam | nothing | 17:10 |
| om26er | Peyam, at the login screen (where you enter the password to login) there is a drop down menu below, select Ubuntu Classic there and see if the problem happens | 17:10 |
| Peyam | absooluty nothing | 17:10 |
| XLink_Kai_Help | I think since on Ubuntu 10.10 in the Upgrade Center they need to have it say to change from 10.10 to 11.04, "Do you want to down grade from 10.10 to 11.04" and 11.04 should have a Upgrade to 10.10 and 12.10 Alpha | 17:10 |
| usr13 | Peyam: Then you have a complete lockup. Power down and do memtest | 17:10 |
| veganadian | xangua, that's maverick. | 17:11 |
| usr13 | !memtest | Peyam | 17:11 |
| random4t4x14 | However, when I try that on this machine, using a version of Ubuntu I've never used, I cannot get it to go into recovery mode. It drops me to a root shell, and immediately asks for a password | 17:11 |
| random4t4x14 | I was wondering how I can reset this | 17:11 |
| Peyam | i will try to select ubuntu classic | 17:11 |
| Peyam | and come back soon | 17:11 |

| XLink_Kai_Help | marriedman624 : No type "root" not your password. If it doesn't work, try "sudo su" | 17:36 |

| ubottu | phrostbite: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 17:36 |
| marriedman624 | XLink_Kai_Help: typing root still authentication failed | 17:36 |

| glebihan | marriedman624, you won't be able to correct your problem without booting from a live CD | 17:37 |
| marriedman624 | ok, i installed via windows installer | 17:38 |
| marriedman624 | so do I need to download the .iso and put it on a cd | 17:38 |
| glebihan | marriedman624, that's right | 17:38 |
| usr13 | Kyle__: Oh sure.. But I don't see any need for them. I have 3 MS Windows PCs on my network but I still don't see that it is necessary. The MS Windows PCs need their anti-virus apps. and the Linux ones don't - simple as that. | 17:38 |
| marriedman624 | ok | 17:38 |
| jaco | Hello people | 17:39 |
| marriedman624 | glebihan: Once i have to live CD, what do i do? | 17:40 |
| marriedman624 | clear | 17:40 |
| Kyle__ | usr13: if you ever have to run a fileserver lots of windows machines mount, it becomes important. But yea, when it's just for you :) no need. | 17:40 |
| glebihan | marriedman624, from the live CD, you will be able to edit the sudoers file and put your username back on that line | 17:40 |
| usr13 | Kyle__: True | 17:41 |
| marriedman624 | glebihan: Ok, thanks, I'm just curious as to how it got changed. I never changed it. | 17:41 |

| glebihan | tarvid, hold the shift key on boot | 17:43 |
| marriedman624 | usr13: But I can't do that until I have sudo right? | 17:44 |
| usr13 | (where "marriedman624" is your actual user name on the system.) | 17:44 |
| marriedman624 | that is so it all works out | 17:44 |
| usr13 | marriedman624: As I said before, boot to LiveCD | 17:44 |
| usr13 | marriedman624: If you are not in the admin group, you'll more-than-likely need to boot from a LiveCD and edit /etc/group and put your user at the end of that line. | 17:45 |

| esing | ethtool is isntalled | 17:47 |
| Kyle__ | esing: What do you mean which? You enable it in the BIOS if it's not already, then test it by hitting it with a magic ping from another box. | 17:47 |

| fbsd | how i can fix this? | 17:48 |
| esing | Kyle__ sure I tried but it is not waking up | 17:48 |
| glebihan | marriedman624, you need to burn the iso to the disc, not just copy the file on the disc | 17:48 |
| Kyle__ | esing: which tool did you use to wake it up? | 17:48 |

| Mark-sketching | trism: yeah, those. | 17:49 |
| glebihan | !burning | marriedman624 | 17:49 |
| usr13 | marriedman624: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:49 |
| ubottu | marriedman624: CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 17:49 |
| anli_ | Does compiz play bad together with applications that uses opengl? | 17:49 |
| esing | I also added the MACadresse of the linux to my router, so it has the same IP all the time | 17:49 |
| trism | Mark-sketching: it depends on the client you use, pidgin you can easily configure those in Tools/Plugins then configuring the libnotify plugin. For empathy, I'm not sure | 17:49 |
| Kyle__ | esing: Do you have a spare linux box on your local network? | 17:49 |
| esing | Kyle__ no | 17:50 |
| Mark-sketching | trism: oh cool. Yeah, I am using pigin. But what about other programs? | 17:50 |
| marriedman624 | just glancing at the burningisohowto page, can I also run the "live CD" from a USB drive? | 17:50 |

| esing | Kyle__ I have only a linux laptop within my network | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | esing: K. And the windows WOL programs, did you enter the ip address or the mac address of the target machine? | 17:50 |
| esing | sure I ddi | 17:50 |
| esing | *did | 17:50 |
| * Kyle__ scratches his head. | 17:50 | |
| chrowe | also, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt is a dead link so there is no example file for Natty | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | esing: You're setting WOL up on a laptop | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | ? | 17:50 |
| esing | yes | 17:50 |
| * Kyle__ shrugs | 17:50 | |
| esing | it supports WOL | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | OK. | 17:50 |

| esing | since the screen is damaged | 17:51 |

| Kyle__ | K | 17:51 |
| Mark-sketching | trism: got it. Thanks so much! | 17:51 |
| esing | it worked once | 17:51 |
| esing | but now it doesnt work anymore | 17:51 |
| glebihan | marriedman624, yes it should work too | 17:51 |
| esing | because I forgot how to set it up correctly | 17:51 |
| Kyle__ | esing: so dump the output of ethtool eth0 to a pastbin or somefin so we can look at it. | 17:51 |
| esing | it must be some ubuntu configurations | 17:51 |
| trism | Mark-sketching: it depends on the program, none of the notification daemons really filter their messages, they just display whatever the apps send them | 17:51 |
| esing | Kyle__ ok | 17:51 |
| marriedman624 | ok, i'll see what I can do..........might be back later on tonight for some more help | 17:52 |
| Kyle__ | esing: Maybe not. Some finicky systems need ethtool to set it up every boot, but most do not. | 17:52 |
| marriedman624 | thanks again for everyone's help | 17:52 |
| esing | Kyle__ but why do you think I wouldnt need the script which is in the tutorial? the put it into the init.d | 17:52 |
| claviusmond | Pici, can I edit that command to use standard capitalisation? Not LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL but Los Angeles International | 17:52 |
| esing | *they | 17:52 |
| JustSighDudes | How much of / is used after a fresh installation? | 17:52 |
| esing | Get it enabled at system start-up: Debian/Ubuntu uses Sys-V like init system for executing commands during the system bootup and shutdown time. If you wish to add a new service to start when the machine boots the script should be added to the directory /etc/init.d/ and then the "/etc/rc{runlevel}.d/" symlinks cause the script to be executed | 17:52 |
| XLink_Kai_Help | What # is the Ubuntu italian? | 17:53 |
| Kyle__ | esing: WOL is a hardware thing, unless a buggy bios or ehternet firmware resets it every boot, you need _no_ modification to use it. Just turn it on. | 17:53 |
| esing | The init.d script: Create a file, say "wake-on-lan" in the "/etc/init.d/" (just copy & paste the entire code in the terminal) | 17:53 |

| ThinkT510 | intrader: install virtualbox in windows; then ubuntu in virtualbox | 18:28 |
| epifanio | have you any clue on how to fix it ? my computer now is frozen on the upgrade ... network is not working, audio too ... i'm clueless :-( | 18:28 |
| ThinkT510 | intrader: VM's are a brilliant testing ground | 18:28 |
| Ramses_ | please, dont crush my machine, I need it | 18:29 |
| intrader | ThinkT510, that make sense; I have more space in the Windows partition. What about performance? | 18:29 |
| szal | epifanio: where did you get that kernel anyway? | 18:29 |
| Tigerboy | epifanio: do you know what dev/sdb is sometimes if it is usb you can unplug and replug | 18:30 |
| ThinkT510 | intrader: what cpu do you have? does it have virtualisation capabilities? | 18:30 |
| Pici | szal: thats the current kernel in -proposed | 18:30 |
| epifanio | ohhh!!! | 18:30 |
| szal | Pici: uh-huh, proposed... why do ppl keep activating that? | 18:30 |
| Pici | szal: because they don't realize what it is for. | 18:31 |
| epifanio | my brother plug-in an usb pen .. just unpluggin it .. dpkg finished its job | 18:31 |
| intrader | ThinkT510, it is a Thinkpad T61p - probably supports virtualization | 18:31 |
| epifanio | or better he is continuing his job | 18:31 |
| epifanio | great!!! | 18:31 |
| Tigerboy | epifanio: ok then make sure you shut down all the way wait 45 seconds and reboot | 18:31 |

| Spikestuff | Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and I inserted a live CD with 11.04 on it and rebooted and the installer is saying I don't have sufficient disk space, probably because of the already-existing Ubuntu partition, how do I rid the Ubuntu partition that exists now? | 18:31 |
| Spikestuff | Or, how do I format my hard drive to install 11.04 via live CD? | 18:31 |
| epifanio | now i'll rstart to see if all works again :-) | 18:32 |
| Pici | Ramses_: do you have an UBUNTU support question? | 18:32 |
| Tbruff13 | can someone help me find support for Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 18:32 |
| ThinkT510 | intrader: yes it does, i have a t60, you might need to go into the bios to activate the virtualisation capabilities | 18:32 |
| Tigerboy | epicfanio: yes it should | 18:32 |
| szal | !tab | Tigerboy | 18:32 |
| ubottu | Tigerboy: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 18:32 |
| aj00200 | Is there any software to make autotune music? | 18:32 |
| extraclassic | Spikestuff: there's an option in the installer to manually partition drives, so you can delete & rearrange them there | 18:32 |
| john0 | wow ubuntu torrent downloading is hitting the sky | 18:33 |
| john0 | *the roof | 18:33 |
| Spikestuff | extraclassic: Yes, but unfortunately it's not letting me proceed past the point of making sure I have sufficient space requirements, so I can't use the partitoning tool... | 18:33 |
| szal | aj00200: autotune.. *shudder*.. makes me wanna vomit when I hear stuff that extensively relies on it | 18:33 |
| ThinkT510 | intrader: other than that performance will almost be like a native install (any disks you mount will be faster since they don't need to physically spin in a drive) | 18:33 |
| aj00200 | szal: some people have done a really good job with it. Hear of "Symphony of Science"? | 18:34 |
| extraclassic | Spikestuff: you could use gparted live cd to repartition then run the install cd | 18:34 |
| Blutterbob | So basically, if I'm on 9.04, and I need to install something, and I can not upgrade, then I'm screwed? | 18:34 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, found that virtualbox is breaking my system. not sure how, but after installation it hangs on every boot thereafter | 18:34 |
| Spikestuff | I'll try that, extraclassic, thanks. | 18:34 |
| OmegaForte | seclm193, Do you have virtualization support? | 18:34 |
| extraclassic | aj00200: producers that do autotune use a VST plugin on windows...probably works in Logic too | 18:34 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, that was virtualboxose. i'm trying 4.1 from oracle website | 18:34 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, to my knowledge i don't | 18:35 |

| gregplus | How to install RealPlayer on Xubuntu 11.04? | 18:36 |

| ThinkT510 | intrader: wubi is truly awful, i don't know why they include it | 18:36 |
| ikonia | aj00200: audio stuff needs to be native, | 18:36 |
| G00053 | Drknzz: extract the folder cd into it sudo make , sudo make install . then you'll have to black list the current driver being used in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . reboot and done | 18:36 |

| OmegaForte | gregplus, You should check out Videolan's VLC. It'll literally, no word of a lie...do everything. | 18:38 |
| intrader | ThinkT510, wow, I run wubi partitions on all my laptops without problem. I did have problems with 10.10 on the Dell Inspiron | 18:38 |
| seclm193 | omegaforte, i'm not sure if i have virtualazation support. what do i do if i don't? | 18:38 |
| G00053 | Drknzz: also keep the folder around because you'll probably have to use it anytime you update/new kernel | 18:38 |

| pvh_sa | hey there, i'm on ubuntu 11.04 on a toshiba laptop. since a few days ago, after running for a few (about 5-10) minutes, the machine locks up (mouse and keyboard unresponsive) and soon thereafter the laptop fans starts going crazy (suggesting high system load). anyone seen something similar? | 19:11 |
| eric__casel | sounds like my mom's HP thing with windows | 19:11 |
| guntbert | stercor: you got it :-) | 19:11 |
| eric__casel | overheated like crazy | 19:11 |
| eric__casel | eventually fried it | 19:12 |
| stercor | guntbert: Danke sehr. | 19:12 |
| eric__casel | my dad researched her model of computer | 19:12 |
| racho | pvh_sa, do you have to reboot or the pc goes back to normal state? | 19:12 |
| eric__casel | others had the same overheating issue | 19:12 |
| eric__casel | well whatever the issue is | 19:12 |
| Mark-sketching | I'm having pressure sensitivity problems in Natty on a Lenovo X200 Tablet; pressure works but reaches max pressure when I'm pressing only very lightly. I've tried many pressure curve variations using xsetwacom but it doesn't help. Just wondering if anyone knows of a patch or a solution of some kind. | 19:12 |
| G00053 | Drknzz: one sec running back and forth between the bbq . | 19:12 |
| pvh_sa | racho, have to reboot (hold down power button till power goes off, boot up again) | 19:13 |
| guntbert | stercor: no problem :) for the future, there are german ubuntu channels too (#ubuntu-de and (rather quiet at the moment) #ubuntu-at) | 19:13 |
| eric__casel | i honestly like GNOME better than unity, i have no idea where anything is on unity | 19:13 |
| racho | pvh_sa, did you update your kernel lately? | 19:13 |
| mh512 | i am trying to get the internet connection up dynamically on ubuntu-server with virtual.. so in my /etc/network/interfaces, i have: | 19:13 |
| mh512 | auto eth1 | 19:13 |
| mh512 | iface eth1 inet dhcp | 19:13 |
| mh512 | pre-sleep up | 19:13 |
| mh512 | —> this acquires the ip address, but ping still fails. only after I enter $ sudo dhclient eth1 | 19:13 |
| FloodBot1 | mh512: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:13 |
| mh512 | then will the ping succeed…. why is this so? thanks | 19:13 |
| G00053 | Drknzz: glad it worked for you though! | 19:13 |
| pvh_sa | racho, and the strange thing is, i have 2.6.39 and 2.6.38 kernels, and this happens with both | 19:13 |
| sdimkov | so Alpha 3 comes tomorrow huh ? | 19:14 |
| Drknzz | G00053: Dont worry, its just the ATi driver doing its job, i think everythings fine now. Thanks :) | 19:14 |

| G00053 | Drknzz: cool, lspci goes a long way for the future. chances are the model of your lappy really doesn't matter all that much | 19:15 |
| auronandace | !latest | a111 | 19:15 |
| ubottu | a111: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

| zara-s | iLogic: what netbook are you using it on anyway if you don't mind me asking? | 20:02 |

| anubis_7_ | Hello, what is the best way for install software that needs special configuration when compiling from source (curl with cares support) ? The package is in apt-get (curl without cares support) . My question is for a easy way to mantain this software updated to the lastest version. | 20:12 |
| fanjunkie9000 | anubis_7_: First look for a ppa, if the developer supplies one. If not, I'd personally compile and place into /opt directory | 20:13 |
| trism | wolter: if you are using gdm, see: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.32/configuration.html.en#daemonconfig specifically the Greeter Options section | 20:13 |
| zara-s | iLogic: shoul be in /etc/default/grub | 20:13 |
| wols | anubis_7_: there is no easy way. if you need it on a one off basis, compile it and link it to your program statically | 20:13 |
| anubis_7_ | wols: statically ? this is worse to mantain it updated ! | 20:15 |
| anubis_7_ | fanjunkie9000: why /opt ? | 20:15 |
| jrib | anubis_7_: personally, I do the following: grab the existing source package, modify it to my needs, maintain it in a ppa | 20:15 |
| fanjunkie9000 | anubis_7_: /opt is meant for optional software packages in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard | 20:16 |

Restart with Ctl+Alt+Del" error. Is there a quick howto for this? What I'd finding are HOWTOs on what to do when you want the recovery mode (menu), not "cannot read disk at all". Either need HOWTO or someone to give me step-by-step. Thanks! | 21:04 |

| scott___ | I tried to install a libav codec package for openshot (per openshot's instructions) and the software center said first it would remove the stripped versions, which I oked, but now it's stuck in an infinite loop, saying the package catalog needs to be repaired, but it tries and can't | 21:07 |
| Pici | !latest | ThinkT510 goddard | 21:08 |
| ubottu | ThinkT510 goddard: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:08 |
| photon | hi. I'm planning on buying a 3TB drive. will it work with ubuntu, ext4? | 21:08 |
| scott___ | Tbruff13 - sorry dude, no idea | 21:08 |
| Scaatis | hello | 21:08 |
| goddard | Pici: ubuntu uses a lot of debian packages correct | 21:08 |
| Pici | goddard: yes, we sync from debian stable/unstable normally. | 21:09 |
| Scaatis | in my ~/.xsession-errors file, the line (nautilus:1647): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_object: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_OBJECT (value)' failed constantly gets added | 21:09 |
| goddard | Pici: they say it is about stability but often times it is just because a lack of support and upgrades to those packages | 21:09 |
| Troy^ | i cant seem to get youtube videos to display in chromium... whats the best way to get it to do so, i would assume its some sort of flash problem? | 21:09 |
| ThinkT510 | Pici: thanks, i'm aware of that factoid, i was just wondering if there was a special reason that python2 is the default (maybe like something in the default install specifically requires 2) | 21:09 |
| Scaatis | previously, this increased the size of that file to almost 40GB | 21:09 |
| goddard | Pici: Empathy 2.34 is unstable and 3 is stable it just doesn't fit into Unity yet | 21:09 |
| zteam | Anybody here know a decent chess program for linux? | 21:10 |
| trism | ThinkT510: because it is a huge amount of work to port everything to python 3, see for instance: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-o-python-versions | 21:10 |
| Pici | ThinkT510: Because scripts designed for python2 are not usable in python3. It is a big change to convert and test all of them. | 21:10 |
| scott___ | Is there any way to repair the package catalog for the ubuntu software package manually? | 21:10 |
| goddard | Pici: i dont know my opinion i think if we had more support it would be faster | 21:10 |
| zteam | scott___, : yes it is | 21:11 |
| ThinkT510 | Pici: ahh, so it is because of dependancies, thanks | 21:11 |
| zteam | but have you tried using sudo apt-get install -f | 21:11 |
| ThinkT510 | trism: thanks for the link | 21:11 |
| Scaatis | any help? | 21:11 |
| scott___ | zteam - no, I haven't. Will that command repair the software center package catalog? | 21:11 |
| Pici | goddard: I'm not sure what you mean by 'support', but keep in mind that Ubuntu is not a rolling release distro. If thats what you want, then there are other options out there. | 21:12 |
| zteam | Scott: but have you tried using sudo apt-get install -f | 21:12 |
| federico | hi guys | 21:12 |
| zteam | scott___, : it will attempt to solve any dependy-problems you might have | 21:12 |
| scott___ | zteam: Sweet, I'll give that a try now | 21:12 |
| Tbruff13 | can someone tell me how to add a battery icon to ubuntu 11.04 | 21:13 |
| federico | you know if is possible recive the date only from a single IP? | 21:13 |
| Scaatis | so I got that error approximately 600 times in the last 10 minutes | 21:13 |
| goddard | Pici: im saying the excuse of stability is only a lack of support. It isn't a planned reasoning it is because for those specific technologies Ubuntu needs more support in testing and development | 21:13 |
| Eighteens | I thought i had this fixed, "the sound that is" but after reboot my sound is back to being GARBLED, sound played fine, until i move volume up, then it freezes computer, and sounds like a blown speaker, this sure is frustrating... so instead of asking how to fix this, i am asking how to DELETE all sound modules, anything to do with sound, i want it gone, if it doesn't work right, why have it? | 21:13 |
| federico | you know if is possible recive the date only from a single IP? | 21:14 |

| extraclassic | FoxCantrell_: did you install windows after ubuntu | 21:30 |
| pduan | what is linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic and linux-headers-2.6.38-8 | 21:30 |
| Explodingpiglets | I am having a problem. Some of my windows seem to be missing menus or borders | 21:30 |
| pduan | and can i remove them? they were a part of the java install i believe | 21:30 |
| FoxCantrell_ | extraclassic, no i just had factory restored win7 then when that was setup again, i installed ubuntu | 21:30 |
| Explodingpiglets | For example, my xchat window does not have the bar at the top that has the minimize/ maximize/ close buttons | 21:30 |
| magical_walrus | joaolukas, ok, but are you aware that I'm having this problem on a Macbook, not a regular windows machine? I don't have access to a BIOS setup screen | 21:30 |
| zteam | scott___, paste that error from apt again will you? | 21:30 |
| joaolukas | Explodingpiglets: Maybe is cause your theme is not configured? | 21:31 |
| scott___ | dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 0: | 21:31 |
| Explodingpiglets | joaolukas, it was working earlier. | 21:31 |
| scott___ | newline in field name `../../../../share/pyshared/computerjanitor/file_cruft_tests.py' | 21:31 |
| Explodingpiglets | It just disappeared. | 21:31 |
| extraclassic | FoxCantrell_: not sure then...installing ubuntu last usually installs grub and it'll detect everything | 21:31 |
| scott___ | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 21:31 |
| joaolukas | magical_walrus: Oh, sorry, I did'nt saw this. I never touched in a macbook hehehehehe | 21:32 |
| Morkel | I have since a few days this error "locale.Error: unsupported locale setting" on some ubuntu systems. What does this mean? | 21:32 |
| Explodingpiglets | What's odd is that my google chrome still has the bar | 21:32 |
| magical_walrus | joaolukas, thats fine | 21:32 |
| scott___ | In the gui, it just says "Items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalog is repaired" | 21:32 |
| zteam | scott___, it seems to me that file is corrupted or something | 21:32 |
| FoxCantrell_ | extraclassic, can it be that the Main os for win7 is on the C partition and ubuntu partioned itself off of the D partion? | 21:32 |
| zteam | scott try to rename it | 21:33 |
| scott___ | zteam: trying now | 21:33 |
| zteam | scott___, but DON't delete it | 21:33 |
| magical_walrus | joaolukas, I'm guessing my problem has something to do with the fact that the instructions require you to install GRUB to the boot sector of the partition Ubuntu is going on, instead of MBR. Do you know if this could be causing the problem? | 21:33 |
| AnniXa | hey, may i ask a question? | 21:34 |
| extraclassic | FoxCantrell_: i don't know..is your computer using the win7 bootloader | 21:34 |
| joaolukas | Perhaps it can be the reason, but i prefer don't say nothing, I don't know the working of a macbook | 21:35 |
| magical_walrus | joaolukas, alright, thanks | 21:35 |
| naptastic | I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10; I set my account to log in automatically, and did not provide a password for the default keyring. Now my wifi doesn't connect on startup. How do I fix it? | 21:35 |
| zteam | scott___, then you can try to run sudo apt-get update | 21:35 |
| naptastic | ah, nevermind, I found it. | 21:35 |
| naptastic | Wow, I'm apparently a dummy ;-) | 21:35 |
| magical_walrus | can anyone else provide assistance with ubuntu on a macbook? | 21:35 |
| scott___ | zteam: I need root access to change that file | 21:35 |
| zteam | and hopefully it create a new file for you, but I doubt it will work | 21:36 |
| FoxCantrell_ | extraclassic, if you mean try pressing F5 or such to select, then yeah.. but ubuntu still not there.. ive not seen the GRUB screen yet | 21:36 |
| scott___ | on ubuntu, don't I normally have root access? | 21:36 |
| zteam | scott___, of course not | 21:36 |
| scott___ | I didn't set any password for root on install | 21:36 |
| scott___ | How do I log in as root? | 21:36 |
| AnniXa | i just ask :P i would like to play minecraft on ubuntu, but its not running, i heard i need to install the java from sun. how do install this? :O | 21:36 |
| extraclassic | FoxCantrell_: i'm not familiar enough with what you're describing to help you | 21:37 |
| zteam | scott___, you should use sudo to get root access, the password is the same as your user account password | 21:37 |
| joaolukas | naptastic: If you're using gnome, you can click the wifi icon, and go to "edit connections", and them go to the session Wirelless | 21:37 |
| scott___ | zteam - Ooh, I was trying to rename it through the gui. I should use the command line then? | 21:37 |
| magical_walrus | AnniXa, http://www.java.com/en/download/ | 21:37 |
| zteam | scott___, so you didn't try with sudo apt-get install -f otherwise try that FIRST | 21:37 |
| FoxCantrell_ | extraclassic, perhaps try to install to the Main partion to see if it loads the grub correctly that way? that was my next action but i wanted to be sure first | 21:38 |
| scott___ | zteam - Yes, I was in the terminal for all the previous | 21:39 |
| zteam | scott___, if you did only do apt-get install -f without sudo then it explains why it failed | 21:39 |
| AnniXa | ty magical_walrus :) | 21:39 |
| magical_walrus | AnniXa, no problem | 21:39 |
| scott___ | zteam - no, I used sudo before | 21:39 |
| magical_walrus | Is it absolutely necessary to have a bootloader (grub or lilo)? I am asking this because I'm trying to install ubuntu on my Macbook, but it fails to boot if I select the ubuntu partition. | 21:39 |
| zteam | okey, well, try to rename the file with sudo then | 21:40 |
| extraclassic | FoxCantrell: if windows is on sda1 then install ubuntu to sda2 and it should install a bootloader and detect itself and windows | 21:40 |
| zteam | scott___, okey, well, try to rename the file with sudo then | 21:40 |
| magical_walrus | I followed the instructions here: (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook/TripleBoot) and ubuntu has worked before on this machine, I just dont remember how It worked as it was years ago | 21:40 |
| Koterpillar | How do I troubleshoot (presumably) Avahi? I have Ubuntu and Debian machines in one subnet, they stopped resolving "hostname.local". | 21:41 |
| AnniXa | sorry for me bugging again, i downloaded it, but i dont know how to run the installernow :) | 21:41 |
| AnniXa | its a .bin file | 21:41 |
| magical_walrus | AnniXa, I believe there are instructions on how to run the installer on the download page | 21:42 |
| AnniXa | okay you are right,let me check that | 21:42 |
| zteam | scott___, you know how to rename a file using the terminal? | 21:42 |
| koshieFinalReliz | Hi | 21:42 |
| Eighteens | just as i was about to rm -rf / "because of my non working sound in ubuntu" i decided to run vlc media player as root, and all songs play fine, however if i run vlc media player as me all i hear is garble, garble, boom crack pop hiss... "I don't usually run apps as root, but i am desperate to fix my horrible sound problem, however as root, all sound is good. What could be the issue here | 21:42 |
| Kiwini | AnniXa, did you check the Ubuntu Software Centre for Java? | 21:42 |
| asteve | how do i create a Release file for my repo? | 21:43 |
| AnniXa | yes kiwini, but there is onle the openjdk java thingy | 21:43 |
| koshieFinalReliz | That is a good idea to install KDE 4.7 on Lucid Lynx ? In the backport it's the 4.4.5. I need to compile it ? I don't found a binary package. | 21:44 |
| scott___ | zteam - just figured it out I think : sudo mv available available.bak | 21:44 |

| DANYAL | How To Change File Format In LInux/ubuntu | 21:44 |
| scott___ | then did sudo apt-get install -f but it didn't fix it | 21:44 |
| magical_walrus | AnniXa, As far as I know, you want the one from Sun, not openjdk for Minecraft | 21:44 |
| AnniXa | yes, i try now the install howto on the java sun site | 21:45 |
| Koterpillar | DANYAL, what format do you have and what format do you need? | 21:45 |
| zteam | scott___, yes that's good know try with sudo apt-get update | 21:45 |
| DANYAL | Koterpillar i have txt format i want in which user cant read orignal words | 21:45 |
| DANYAL | and unconvertable to old format | 21:46 |
| Um_cara_Qualquer | does anyone uses a pen drive to play on Wii? | 21:46 |
| magical_walrus | AnniXa, click the "Instructions" link to the right of the installer you downloaded (probably the "Linux RPM" or "Linux (self-extracting)" one) | 21:46 |
| Koterpillar | DANYAL, delete the file. You won't be able to read it | 21:46 |
| zteam | DANYAL, you only need to open the textfile with gedit and use save as and then choose windows encoding | 21:46 |
| Koterpillar | DANYAL, also try file-roller to create a password protected archive | 21:46 |
| DANYAL | No I Need Like that convert abc to ^?ELF^A^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^B^@^C^@^A^@^@^@ | 21:47 |
| DANYAL | This format | 21:47 |
| DANYAL | i think this is mac format | 21:48 |
| Koterpillar | The one you described second is executable. You cannot "convert" text to executable file meaningfully. | 21:48 |
| zteam | DANYAL, are you sure this is a file is a text file | 21:48 |
| _6502_ | Hello... is there a command to exit the screen saver? I'm trying to get a screenshot of a remote computer with "import" but I just get a black image... | 21:49 |
| zteam | DANYAL, try to open the terminal and write file then drag and drop the textfile to the terminal and press enter, then Ubuntu should tell you what file type it is | 21:49 |
| Koterpillar | _6502_, killall gnome-screensaver | 21:50 |
| scott___ | zteam: that didn't replace it either, but I notice in the dpkg directory there is another file called available-old. Is it possible when I was trying to do the initial update through the Software Center that it saved this as the backup copy? | 21:50 |
| Jon_N|A | Hi there! How can a figure out what are my HDD's partitions attributes in hd(x.x) format? Is there a software for it? | 21:50 |
| zteam | scott___, maybe try to replace it, but be sure to keep the other file too | 21:50 |

| Macha | Does anyone know what raid-am is and why it might be running on port 2013 of my 10.04 LTS VPS? Google just shows up "commonly used ports" lists. It isn't anything I've deliberately installed. | 21:53 |
| intrader_ | Anyone, I was given an iPod as a present and find that there is little support in ubuntu for it. I see http://www.junauza.com/2008/09/5-great-itunes-replacements-for.html, and have tried Rythmbox and don't see the ipod. What do you all recommend. | 21:53 |
| scott___ | zteam: That fixed my package catalog - Thanks a MILLION for your guidance | 21:53 |
| Macha | What iPod? iPod Touch or a different one? | 21:53 |
| zteam | scott___, your welcome | 21:54 |

| intrader_ | Macha, iPod touch | 21:54 |
| _6502_ | koterpillar: thaks, worked. | 21:55 |

| reisi | anyone running latest 11.04 on x86 or amd64? could you throw me the md5sum of /lib/i386-linux-gnu/security/pam_unix.so ? | 21:56 |
| brightspark | Can anyone explain how to mute the volume (10.10)? | 21:57 |
| zteam | scott___, well I don't know which codecs you are talking about, but if you mean, codecs to play mp3-files, DivX and wmv and so on, then you can just use | 21:57 |
| brightspark | The icon by the clock says its muted but it isn't. | 21:57 |
| zteam | scott___, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 21:57 |
| szal | reisi: doesn't exist here (Natty x86_64) | 21:57 |
| joeb | I'm having an issue in 11.04 with two video cards and three monitors where attempting to startup compiz and it just chews up resources and sits there. | 21:58 |
| zteam | scott___, be sure to check that all of your soures is turned on first | 21:58 |
| intrader_ | Macha, i have not the vaguest idea what IOS is running. Just got the thing. So you are saying that iTunes is your recommended way? | 21:58 |
| scott___ | zteam: it's a codec package required by openshot ( a video editor), but I think for now I'll export it to the video format that's available and then just convert it later. Thanks again for your help! | 21:58 |
| === Jef91|SC2 is now known as Jef91 | ||
| Jef91 | If I add a PPA to an Ubuntu lucid system, is there a way I can tell me system to pull packages from the maverick part of that ppa? | 21:59 |
| zteam | and what happens if you use try sudo apt-get install openshot? | 21:59 |
| koshieFinalReliz | That is a good idea to install KDE 4.7 on Lucid Lynx ? In the backport it's the 4.4.5. I need to compile it ? I don't found a binary package. | 21:59 |
| reisi | szal: sorry, it's /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_unix.so on amd64 | 21:59 |
| brightspark | Can anyone explain how to mute the volume (Maverick 10.10)? The tray icon shows mute but there is still sound. | 22:00 |
| zteam | scott___, otherwise to install a new repository you can use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:repositoryname | 22:01 |
| brightspark | Matter of fact the volume control has no effect at all as far as I can see. | 22:01 |
| reisi | brightspark: sorry, could be that no one anymore uses 10.10; try to see if there are multiple muteable devices? | 22:01 |
| Macha | intrader_: It's the only way to use the later iOSes. I think something had a (buggy) plugin that worked with iOS 2 devices a while back, but I can't remember what it was. Not really a reccomendation, as I hate iTunes, but there isn't much choice here. | 22:01 |
| zteam | scott___, but this only works for repositories on launcpad | 22:01 |
| szal | reisi: 034eba261867a9ca7322e6060a78513b /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/security/pam_unix.so | 22:01 |
| reisi | szal: thanks! | 22:02 |
| intrader_ | Macha, is it possible to run ios on a vm? | 22:02 |
| reisi | szal: at least we have the same version... i've got some major dpkg info/base-files.list corruption, got me checking for debsums, which seem to be off on both systems | 22:03 |
| brightspark | reisi, support is supposed to continue until april though. Control within an app works (ie rhythmbox) but not all programs have a mute function at that level. | 22:03 |

| Macha | intrader_: iTunes in Virtualbox _should_ work, I think, but never tried it. | 22:04 |
| intrader_ | Macha, Lion on virtualbox? - I would need to buy Lion. | 22:05 |
| reisi | brightspark: support != people using it; i'm not sure if there's a single control you should be using; did you check the mixer app if there were multiple audio devices? | 22:05 |
| szal | reisi: some ppl apparently stick to Maverick because they don't want Unity ;) | 22:06 |
| Macha | intrader_: Windows on VirtualBox | 22:07 |
| brightspark | reisi, mixer app being the "sound preferences" option you get by clicking the tray icon? | 22:07 |
| reisi | szal: i've got a secret ... i'm actually a kubuntu user.. i stumbled here as i usually hang on #ubuntu-server | 22:07 |
| szal | reisi: same here (Kubuntu, not -server ;)) | 22:08 |
| reisi | szal: hehe | 22:08 |
| * szal is a long-time KDE user so choosing Kubuntu over Ubuntu was a no-brainer | 22:08 | |
| reisi | brightspark: hmm sorry, as i don't have ubuntu on my any of my systems, i cannot help you more | 22:08 |
| G00053 | so i did an install of 11.04 next to 10.04 and it's telling my file system root only has ~50mb left . also it didn't see my 10.04 account so i had to mount my home partition manually | 22:09 |
| === burner__ is now known as burner | ||
| intrader_ | Macha, I just cheked - Lion will not run on virtualbox. So the alternative is Windows (which I have on the laptop) and iTunes. I hate to have to boot windows, though | 22:09 |
| brightspark | Okay, I have two options. Changing from "Simultaneous output to Internal Audio Analog Stereo" to "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" fixes the problem. | 22:09 |
| Macha | intrader_: You missed my last message. Windows on Virtualbox works too if you don't want to reboot. | 22:09 |
| Spikestuff | I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 from a Live CD, and now it keeps prompting me if I want to run the application "Install RELEASE" even though I have already installed all the updates through the Update Manager, is my version not updated all the way, or is this a bug that just won't go away? | 22:10 |
| brightspark | Can someone explain what these options mean? | 22:10 |
| intrader_ | Macha, install windows on virtualbox? Unfortunately the THinkpad does provide CD for windows, it is all in a partition. | 22:11 |
| lindenle | Hi all I am using the proprietary drivers from nVidia and I would like a way to automatically go back to just the laptop screen when i eject from the docking station | 22:11 |
| lindenle | anyone have a good way of handling this? | 22:12 |
| jrib | lindenle: maybe with disper | 22:12 |
| reisi | brightspark: well the first is not a real device, the latter is a real device | 22:12 |
| reisi | brightspark: that is, if you mute the latter, you will implicitly mute the first; for long time there has been a big issue on linux "desktop field" about good/convinient/performant sound solution, and you are witnessing one incarnation of that | 22:13 |
| lindenle | also my machine hangs on boot with 2.6.38-10 and 2.6.38-11 | 22:13 |
| lindenle | dell latitude laptop | 22:13 |
| intrader_ | Macha, thanks, I will try wine for now. | 22:14 |
| reisi | brightspark: some (newer) apps use the first one, some older, misconfigured, miscompliled or too young applications use straight the device | 22:14 |
| brightspark | reisi, thanks! Any other caveats I should watch out for? | 22:14 |
| reisi | brightspark: i guess there are endless amounts of such leaking abstractions; but if you keep this example in mind, you'll eventually find a way to solve the rest | 22:15 |
| brightspark | reisi, thanks again for your help. | 22:16 |
| reisi | brightspark: though remember, i'd bet that it's rare to come across a problem no one else has experienced; google is your friend, trouble is finding the right query | 22:16 |

| WallyJ2K | ok | 22:37 |
| WallyJ2K | that worked | 22:37 |
| WallyJ2K | shows my VGA compatible controller | 22:37 |
| WallyJ2K | VGA is in red | 22:37 |
| WallyJ2K | so maybe my video card isn't the problem when booting | 22:37 |

| armygunner | hey yall, anyone got a second to answer a couple ubuntu questions? | 22:46 |
| WallyJ2K | armygunner... ask your question, people will field it as they can | 22:48 |
| goddard | best av quick go | 22:52 |
| goddard | ? | 22:52 |
| IT | av for linux? | 22:52 |
| armygunner | well i just ordered a new asus netbook and was thinking about getting rid of that windows starter OS but i was wondering if I'll have to go find all the drivers or what all the install replaces | 22:52 |
| IT | even though you may need one in some cases :S | 22:52 |
| IT | armygunner | 22:53 |
| IT | ubuntu detects drivers automatically | 22:53 |
| goddard | IT ubuntu is advance like that | 22:53 |
| IT | well, was automatic for me :P | 22:53 |
| IT | and don't worry about "the linux is complicated thing", ubuntu is great for beginners | 22:54 |
| armygunner | lol, nice... sorry i couldn't find a FAQ to look up the noob questions | 22:54 |
| IT | help.ubuntu.com | 22:54 |
| goddard | armygunner: thats what irc is for | 22:54 |
| goddard | armygunner: noobs | 22:54 |
| goddard | real uber guys use cell phones | 22:54 |
| goddard | :D | 22:54 |
| armygunner | haha i would use my cell but i'm getting out of the infantry and we can't use phones in nursing school | 22:55 |
| Kanzu5665 | so on the topic of noob questions, I just installed ubuntu via wubi today. | 22:55 |
| goddard | slightly offtopic but http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/ | 22:56 |
| WallyJ2K | armygunner... a good way to try Linux is to fully install it from a CD to a USB drive and run it from the USB drive. Just boot to the USB drive when you want to use Linux and then you can boot from your HD to run Windows, without the complications of a true "dual-boot" setup | 22:56 |
| armygunner | got a lot of note taking to do and my 17" dell is beat to hell from afghanistan so i needed something smaller | 22:56 |
| Kanzu5665 | How do I install applications such as Firefox from the website? | 22:56 |
| Kanzu5665 | I get a tar.gz file or something like that | 22:56 |
| IT | ubuntu software center | 22:56 |
| IT | and firefox should be built in | 22:56 |
| Kanzu5665 | yup, I eventually got it through that | 22:56 |
| Kanzu5665 | I was trying to get 5.0 | 22:56 |

| marriedman624 | did you see my question earlier? | 23:16 |
| usr13 | no | 23:16 |

| directi_aim | Does not st_uid,st_mode, st_gid also contain relevant details reagarding permissions? | 23:17 |
| usr13 | Oh ok. fdisk -l and look to see which is which. (You probably know the size, right?) | 23:17 |
| usr13 | marriedman624: you know it's not the swap partition, so that one is out. | 23:18 |
| marriedman624 | yeah but when I do that, it doesn't do anything............when it booted I choose try ubuntu, was that correct? | 23:18 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | usr13, I dont have a sleep mode it is just when the system is idle it will work for one left click then it dies | 23:27 |
| willwh | U-b-u-n-t-u: you probably do | 23:27 |
| willwh | check your power options | 23:27 |
| willwh | it's a default, I believe | 23:27 |

| IT | should be in the next ubuntu versions | 23:29 |
| willwh | IT: not sure - I think it's being considered | 23:30 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | <csdwifi> you'll have to make sure you get your mouse driver from the source U-b-u-n-t-u <<< how do I make sure of that? I just upgraded I didnt change the driver | 23:30 |
| willwh | U-b-u-n-t-u: that seems really odd. | 23:30 |
| exutux | Guest52064: do you have user-dirs.dir and user-dirs.locale in your ~/.config/ dir? | 23:30 |
| The-Decoy | IT: It sounds like Thunderbird is definite, and Mark mentioned Chromium, but nothing official yet... | 23:30 |

| willwh | IT: not too surprising, very much like Windows. | 23:31 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | the VM switch is a usb as well | 23:31 |
| IT | the whole point is not letting the user search for common softwares :S | 23:31 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | vm --- KVM | 23:31 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | willwh, but it was working before the upgrade and all the ubuntu distros from 6.04 | 23:32 |

| willwh | I need to do some testing of video content / smoothstreams, and need to simulate low bandwidth | 23:40 |
| DrDamnit | exutux: of course comment out the lines. But once the raid array comes up, mount -a mounts it. I would prefer to not comment it out of /etc/fstab | 23:40 |
| The-Decoy | yuk1z: some games will let you Alt-TAB out of them. | 23:41 |
| willwh | The-Decoy: although I need to be able to switch it onthe fly, trickle doesn't help ;x | 23:41 |
| yuk1z | i know | 23:41 |

| DrDamnit | exutux: right. the problem is that I need and want the directories mounted that I am having a problem with. They just don't mount in time during the boot sequence. I need them mounted. | 23:45 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | The-Decoy, I also have this line input: Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/2-1.4:1.0/input/input5 | 23:58 |
