| paulo | I'm a really pain in the ass but I have to ask some one to help me. I have a ASUS A6 and I'm not been capable to run wireless connection. I already read the topic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223503 but I really don’t understand it . I'm newby by cocomplete. Can anyone help me? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Datz | usually update-grub gives me back my other boot options, but not this time.. | 00:00 |
| ionite | szal: waht do u mean? should i remove the partial files? | 00:00 |
| OmegaForte | zteam, I know. I'm just saying that it has difficulties, but most, if not all are because the user doesn't know what "resolving dependencies" means. | 00:00 |
| IdleOne | !repeat | paulo | 00:00 |
| ubottu | paulo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 00:00 |
| paulo | I'm sorry | 00:00 |
| szal | ionite: I guess that wouldn't hurt either | 00:01 |
| EgyParadox | Datz:Did you try port 22? | 00:01 |
| zteam | OmegaForte, well, did knew what that meant but not exactly how to that easy and without consuming alot of time | 00:01 |
| ionite | szal: what's the command should i type to remove the partial files? | 00:01 |
| EgyParadox | since its sftp not ftp | 00:01 |
| Datz | EgyParadox: I haven't messed with the ftp config yet, but as long as it doesn't interfere with ssh, it might do the trick | 00:01 |
| Datz | I don't know if wordpress would need some additional configuring as well.. | 00:01 |
| OmegaForte | zteam, Well usually with the code, you get a list of dependencies to go with it, sometimes not, but google is still a very good tool | 00:02 |
| sweltman | Hi Guys...Can I ask a Q about my ubuntu 11.04 Unity? | 00:02 |
| Datz | .!ask | sweltman :P | 00:02 |
| szal | ionite: nah, that's just pkg lists, they will be replaced anyway if fresh ones can be fetched | 00:02 |
| Datz | or else if there is a #channel dedicated to unity? | 00:02 |
| szal | ionite: if it were pkgs, that'd be something different | 00:02 |
| sweltman | Somehow I "adjusted" and lost my title bars on all windows. Not sure how to get them back | 00:02 |
| Poliorcetes | hey guys ive searched the forums on this one but can't find an answer. for some reason i can't adjust the screen brightness via the Fn key, i get a display notification telling me it's dimming or brightening but nothing is actually happening | 00:03 |
| Poliorcetes | any ideas | 00:03 |
| ionite | szal: i think they are packages? | 00:03 |
| sweltman | Datz? Any ideas? | 00:03 |
| szal | ionite: no, they are package lists | 00:03 |
| ionite | szal: so what should i do? | 00:04 |
| szal | ionite: sudo apt-get update | 00:04 |
| Datz | sorry sweltman I don't use unity | 00:04 |
| zteam | OmegaForte, yes and sometimes that dependencys doesn't fit with your distro or version of the distro and sometimes google point you to instructions for 8.10 or something then u are using 10.10 or 11.04 yourself | 00:04 |
| Datz | I was just going to say to ask your question, don't ask to ask ;) | 00:04 |
| ionite | hey everyone. If i am running on Atom, should i use KDE or XFCE? | 00:04 |
| zteam | OmegaForte, that actually happend to me sometimes | 00:05 |

| szal | moffa: what the what are you talking about? | 00:05 |
| zteam | OmegaForte, anyway, I think I made my point quite clear... :--) | 00:05 |
| ionite | szal: how do i change mirror? | 00:05 |
| sweltman | Can anyone point me to the right list or channel? I have a problem with Unity wierd...I lost the title bar for all windows on the screen | 00:06 |
| ionite | moffa: originall it's come with preinstalled netbook remix but that's considered phased out. so what's netbuntu? | 00:06 |
| paulo | Does any one have the patience to explain me step by step how to do it? | 00:06 |
| moffa | <ionite> sorry I meant ubuntu netbook edition | 00:06 |
| szal | ionite: change or remove the country abbreviation in the "deb" URL for the "main" and "universe" repositories | 00:07 |
| szal | ionite: in /etc/apt/sources.list, that is | 00:07 |
| moffa | <ionite> sorry, they made ubuntu 11.04 netbook compatible | 00:07 |
| ionite | szal: what's the command that i should i type | 00:07 |
| K-Rich | hey all | 00:07 |
| === MK is now known as Guest93997 | ||
| ionite | moffa: so which should i install? KDE/XFCE? | 00:08 |
| moffa | <ionite> xfce is light weight | 00:08 |
| Datz | XFCE is lighter | 00:08 |
| szal | ionite: you don't want to tell me you don't know how to open a text file with a text editor, do you? | 00:08 |
| cypha | where is the normal location to put an app? | 00:08 |
| moffa | <ionite> It'll run faster on a netbook | 00:08 |
| cypha | i have obkey | 00:08 |
| moffa | <cypha> what are you installing | 00:08 |
| cypha | obkey | 00:09 |
| cypha | i don't know where to putit | 00:09 |
| ionite | szal: i'm an idoit to noob. so please help me | 00:09 |
| szal | cypha: what's that? | 00:09 |
| zteam | Well time to sleep good night people | 00:09 |
| cypha | it has a python script that I need to point a menu item to | 00:09 |
| cypha | szal, it's for openbox keyboard shortcuts | 00:09 |
| OmegaForte | zteam, Later man | 00:09 |
| sweltman | Anyone with an idea about how to get my title bars back on the windows in Unity? | 00:09 |
| szal | !info obkey | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Package obkey does not exist in natty | 00:10 |
| cypha | it's not in the repository | 00:10 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, One method I know is to not use unity. | 00:10 |
| cypha | hence i'm asking where one might place applications | 00:10 |
| zteam | OmegaForte for u yes, for me, it's time to sleep now | 00:10 |
| zteam | :-) | 00:10 |
| moffa | <cypha> why not use Keyboard Shortcuts? | 00:10 |
| sweltman | Omega, duly noted. :) | 00:10 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, What is it? | 00:10 |
| ionite | szal: so how do i open the file with the text editor? | 00:10 |
| cypha | it's an application | 00:10 |
| Datz | can anyone help me to get my Win7 boot option back in the grub menu? | 00:10 |
| cypha | where do people usually install applications | 00:10 |
| cypha | /bin? | 00:11 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, No sh...Cypha, where did you get it.. | 00:11 |
| ionite | moffa: can i install kde in net book atom? | 00:11 |
| cypha | the internet | 00:11 |
| gardnan | /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin | 00:11 |
| Datz | cypha: are you looking for an application? | 00:11 |
| cypha | omg no | 00:11 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, Stop trolling homes. Ain't funny. | 00:11 |
| moffa | <ionite> you probably can but it'll be slow | 00:11 |
| cypha | i have an application called obkey | 00:11 |
| cypha | it's a python script | 00:11 |
| zteam | OmegaForte, good night | 00:11 |
| cypha | it's sitting in my download directory | 00:11 |
| MK` | I need some help; after restarting my laptop today, my touchpad is completely non responsive. xinput says it recognizes it, but ... and now it's fixed. Either you guys are really that good or I am just having one of those days. | 00:11 |
| cypha | i need to create a menu item that points to running that python script | 00:12 |
| zteam | Bye all | 00:12 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, Python scripts are Scripts. Not applications. | 00:12 |
| cypha | hence, i want to put it somewhere permanent | 00:12 |
| cypha | where can I put it? | 00:12 |
| szal | ionite: first do me a favour: open a terminal, type 'pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list' & give me the URL it returns; if pastebinit isn't installed, install it | 00:12 |
| Datz | there is different criteria dictating which apps go where | 00:12 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, Then just make a folder somewhere you won't delete it, like mkdir /home/USRNM/folderdungus | 00:12 |
| paulo | Does any one had the same problem has I do at this moment? | 00:12 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, Then right click the menu, and choose edit menu. | 00:12 |
| danielboston26 | does ubuntu 11.04 have gnome 3 or 2? | 00:12 |
| cypha | OmegaForte: is there somewhere that people normally put such things? | 00:13 |
| ionite | szal: unable to locate pastebin | 00:13 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, Then find the catagory you want it in, and click that, and hit "New Item" and fill out the run command and args like you run it in bash. | 00:13 |
| sweltman | Dan-Boston...11.04 has Unity | 00:13 |
| szal | danielboston26: 11.04 has Unity and Gnome2 as fallback (!classic) | 00:13 |
| kevin | fala ae pessoal | 00:13 |
| cypha | that the directory architecture already has created | 00:13 |
| OmegaForte | cypha, People usually put things WHERE THEY WANT. I am just sugguesting you make a folder for it so you don't accedentally. | 00:13 |
| szal | !pt | kevin | 00:13 |
| ubottu | kevin: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 00:13 |
| danielboston26 | is there a way to install gnome 3? | 00:13 |
| szal | !gnome3 | danielboston26 | 00:13 |
| cypha | OmegaForte: for example, in windows, there is "Program Files" | 00:13 |
| ubottu | danielboston26: 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. | 00:13 |
| cypha | where can I find the linux alternative? | 00:14 |
| ionite | szal: unable to locate pastebinit | 00:14 |
| gardnan | cypha, if you want to install a new application, generally there are instructions included on the website or in the tarball | 00:15 |
| gardnan | however, if it is just a script, you can just put it /usr/local/bin | 00:15 |
| KingFisher | Hello... | 00:15 |
| sweltman | Can anyone help? I broke unity so there are not any title bars on the windows. Sounds dumb but I want them back | 00:15 |
| danielboston26 | thats fine i only use ubuntu to test linux so i have no important info here | 00:15 |
| KingFisher | When I hook my Ubuntu netbook up to power the screen goes black. | 00:15 |
| KingFisher | What gives? | 00:15 |
| aeon-ltd | sweltman: alt-f2, metacity --replace | 00:16 |
| OmegaForte | KingFisher, What'd you do? | 00:16 |
| jdevel | This is a config for dovecot, in the example at http://pastebin.com/rWJSSuXk in the auth default{user = root} does this user really need to be root? Why not the virtual_mail user? | 00:16 |
| sweltman | Aeon---No can do. I am not a metacity fan | 00:16 |
| aeon-ltd | sweltman: substitute with 'compiz --replace', if you use that | 00:16 |
| sweltman | But thanx | 00:16 |
| EgyParadox | Datz: Did it work? | 00:16 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, Those are window managers, not user interfaces dude. You're running one or the other. | 00:16 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, even in unity. | 00:17 |
| sweltman | Omega, not perfectly clear on the difference so far. | 00:17 |
| ionite | szal: did u receive my msg? | 00:17 |
| KingFisher | Omega, I recently changed some power management settings. | 00:17 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, Metacity and compiz are WINDOW MANAGERS. Unity is a USER INTERFACE. | 00:17 |
| KingFisher | I am messing around with them and I cant figure out what I did. | 00:17 |
| OmegaForte | KingFisher, Well go undo that, and see if it happens again. | 00:17 |
| sweltman | Omega, I got it now. So I broke Compiz probably?? | 00:18 |
| szal | ionite: *sigh* you seem to have one b0rked system there.. anyhoo -> Alt+F2 -> 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' -> enter password -> search for the 'deb' lines that end in "natty main" and "natty universe" & change or remove the country code in the URL | 00:18 |
| ionite | can anyone help me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/658947/ | 00:18 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, Or it crashed, since unity is very new. | 00:18 |
| Viking667 | I can't play music with anything that uses mpd, but I've no idea what's wrong. mpd seems to be able to access the sound device fine, mplayer plays music fine. | 00:18 |
| Viking667 | I'm stuck, and I need some help | 00:18 |
| Datz | is there someone familiar with grub2 who can help me recover my win7 boot option? | 00:19 |
| OmegaForte | !grub | Datz | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Datz: 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) | 00:19 |
| szal | Viking667: what do you use as output in mpd? | 00:19 |
| ionite | szal: how do i search for deb lines? | 00:19 |
| Datz | thanks | 00:19 |
| szal | ionite: e.g. by reading the text | 00:19 |
| Viking667 | . I'd have to check inside /etc/mpd.conf | 00:19 |
| ionite | szal: i typed the command in the run filed and entered my pswd. nothing happens? | 00:20 |
| Viking667 | hm. Alsa. | 00:20 |
| sweltman | omega...Unity is not running (it's called a window-decorator by the scrollback, but so far, it's better) | 00:21 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, What...You went from unity to what now? | 00:21 |
| szal | Viking667: should work if you have the right device in there.. but Pulse output will work as well | 00:21 |
| Viking667 | heh. Now I have to figure out what went wrong. | 00:21 |
| gardnan | whois OmegaForte | 00:21 |
| sweltman | omega, I am running compiz (I ran the compiz --replace | 00:21 |
| OmegaForte | gardnan I am me. | 00:21 |
| gardnan | oh | 00:22 |
| ionite | szal: nothing appears? | 00:22 |
| gardnan | sorry | 00:22 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, Then you are running unity with compiz decorations and effects. | 00:22 |
| EgyParadox | Datz: update-grub/update-grub2 | 00:22 |
| sweltman | omega, script for unity-window-decorator is hung (No unity at the moment) | 00:22 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, Then restart. | 00:22 |
| szal | ionite: wtf.. | 00:23 |
| OmegaForte | sweltman, other than that, no other info. I don't use unity because I have a multi-monitor setup and unity hates it. | 00:23 |
| sweltman | Omega, I restarted before, and I will do it now. Thank you for your time and knowledge | 00:23 |
| sweltman | Omega, noted..I won't try unity on multi-screen setups | 00:23 |

| OmegaForte | sweltman, I appreciate the insult. I am old too. | 00:26 |
| gardnan | does anyone know why the emacs package in the repository is out of date? | 00:26 |
| sweltman | Omega, we're prob about the same age | 00:26 |
| OmegaForte | gardar, Because it's emacs. That's why. | 00:26 |
| szal | sweltman: what do you think I gave you the above factoid for? ;) | 00:26 |
| Omega | sweltman: Are we? | 00:27 |
| gardnan | OmegaForte: is there something wrong with emacs? | 00:27 |

| Omega | sweltman: Look who you were talking to | 00:27 |
| Viking667 | agggggh. | 00:27 |
| OmegaForte | gardnan, It's a joke. Emacs doesn't get a lot of love in ubuntu. | 00:27 |

| === OmegaForte is now known as Fyonte | ||
| Fyonte | sweltman, There, now you don't confuse for other guys. | 00:28 |
| sweltman | OmegaForte: Fyonte, its you? | 00:28 |
| Fyonte | sweltman, Yes it is. | 00:29 |
| Fyonte | sweltman, Just easier for now. | 00:29 |
| Viking667 | hey, Fyonte! Haven't seen you for years... didn't know you were on IRC <grin> | 00:29 |
| Omega | Fyonte: THANK YOU, every single time someone mentioned your name, I got hilighted. I just didn't say anything because everyone is free to have a name of their choosing | 00:29 |
| szal | ah, didn't even notice that there was anothe similar nick | 00:29 |
| sweltman | Fyonte, that's confusing to me. :0 | 00:29 |
| Fyonte | Viking667, I don't even know who you are, so sure. I guess? | 00:29 |
| Datz | gardnan: I thought, perhaps wrongly that package versions were only updated when there were releases | 00:29 |
| Viking667 | I was having you on.... | 00:29 |
| Fyonte | Viking667, Did I fit? | 00:29 |
| Viking667 | naah. | 00:29 |
| Fyonte | Dangit. | 00:29 |
| Viking667 | meanwhile, I'll go bang my head against stupid mpd. | 00:29 |
| gardnan | Datz: oh | 00:29 |
| Polah | Could someone help me with installing OpenRPG? I've installed it using apt-get from the repos but it doesn't show up in my applications list and using the command "openrpg" in terminal doesn't do anything | 00:30 |
| Datz | gardnan: so you'll have to wait until 11.10 | 00:30 |
| TonyFisher | Hello. I'm the guy who asked for the power management advice on my Ubuntu Netbook. | 00:30 |
| TonyFisher | I just logged on to the second account and it works normally but the GUIs have changed in style. | 00:30 |
| TonyFisher | They all look like something from the late 90s early 2000s | 00:30 |
| gardnan | Datz: kk thanks | 00:30 |
| Datz | gardnan: were there features or something you were looking forward to in the latest versions of emacs? | 00:30 |
| Datz | you could always manually install | 00:31 |
| TonyFisher | Could this be soemthing bigger than just power management differences/? | 00:31 |
| gardnan | Datz: not really I was just doing some lisp stuff and my windows machine and ubuntu machine were behaving differently | 00:31 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, What? What is the problem? | 00:31 |
| TonyFisher | Fyonte, my ubuntu netbook on the sudo account would go black (the screen) when I put it on battery power | 00:32 |
| gardnan | Datz: but it wasn't the version that was causing it | 00:32 |
| Datz | gardnan: humm, I see | 00:32 |
| Datz | oh | 00:32 |
| TonyFisher | The other account doesnt have this problem but i just logged back in and the GUi For firefox and Xchat look completely different. | 00:32 |
| Viking667 | So. What the heck would be stopping mpd from working??? | 00:32 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, I don't do netbooks, but it does seem like a mode-switch was done, and it lost track of what it was doing. | 00:32 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, Kinda like Tony Hawk and Sam Fisher did when you made your name. [it is gag. Relax] | 00:33 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, You are now super spy skateboarder....That would be a sweet tv show.. | 00:33 |
| TonyFisher | Fyonte, I have been having battery problems before, so could this be the result of that? | 00:33 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, Probably. Is it still under warranty? | 00:34 |
| TonyFisher | Fyonte, I don't think so. I have been having these battery problems on start up for a while now | 00:34 |
| Test__ | Problem after bootup OS. Sometimes the desktop opens showing apps on left side--othertimes desktop shows pulldown menu upper left. Problem, some apps don't operate correctly under the pulldown menu. Application is DraftSight | 00:34 |
| TonyFisher | and now they are starting to manifest themselves in my usage. | 00:34 |
| TonyFisher | Fyonte, Besides backing up my shit is there anything I can do to fix this netbook? | 00:34 |
| TonyFisher | Or is it just going to be a slow decline into oblivion. | 00:35 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, I don't know man. Try a clean install. If it happens more, then something is wrong. I can't offer hardware support without having the device.. | 00:35 |
| TonyFisher | Alright. Many thanks Fyonte. | 00:35 |
| Fyonte | TonyFisher, And I don't do mobile. | 00:35 |

| OmegaForte | There. I feel better. | 00:41 |
| sam555 | thanks Datz! | 00:41 |
| Omega | OmegaForte: ): | 00:42 |
| Datz | sam555: sure | 00:42 |
| OmegaForte | Omega, It's your fault. Not mine. | 00:42 |
| Omega | OmegaForte: What is? | 00:44 |
| OmegaForte | Omega, I don't know. | 00:44 |
| OmegaForte | Omega, You have any experience with bluetooth? | 00:47 |
| Datz | humm, so I ran Boot-Repair, and I didn't get my other boot menu options back | 00:47 |
| Datz | which is cool | 00:48 |
| Test_ | Problem after bootup OS. Sometimes the desktop opens showing apps on left side--othertimes desktop shows pulldown menu upper left. Problem, some apps don't operate correctly under the pulldown menu. Application is DraftSight | 00:49 |
| Phase | Why isn't ffmpeg > /dev/null working properly? It still displays the output. | 00:49 |
| OmegaForte | Phase, Are you trying to output to no device? | 00:50 |
| Phase | OmegaForte: I want to hide the output entirely.. it's for a script, so instead of ffmpeg's giant output, I want my own "Converting..." output | 00:51 |
| apollo | I'm trying to install 11.04 on a second hard drive... when I get to the partition set up there is no sda or sdb available? what is going on here? | 00:51 |
| apollo | dmesg shows both drives | 00:51 |
| idlemind324 | apollo: what do you mean it's not showing up? | 00:51 |
| OmegaForte | Phase, might wanna try a base arg, like --silent or something. | 00:52 |
| idlemind324 | apollo: or more where is it not showing up. are you partitioning the drive(s) outside of the ubuntu installer? | 00:52 |
| Phase | OmegaForte: alright, I'll see what I can find, ty | 00:52 |
| TonyFisher | Is it possible for me to write all files with a certain extension to a usb drive? | 00:52 |
| idlemind324 | TonyFisher: Yes | 00:52 |
| TonyFisher | idlemind324, I should use the cp or dd command? | 00:52 |
| apollo | idlemind324: it is not showing up in the installer | 00:52 |
| Phase | TonyFisher: cp *.ext /path/to/usb | 00:52 |
| Phase | ? | 00:52 |
| TonyFisher | Phase thanks. | 00:53 |
| idlemind324 | TonyFisher: yes cp would be preferred | 00:53 |
| Phase | You're welcome | 00:53 |
| idlemind324 | apollo: ok did you do the partitioning work in the installer or simply your disks are not showing up in the installer? | 00:53 |
| apollo | sda DOES show up for the bootloader option | 00:53 |
| apollo | not showing up in the installer | 00:53 |
| apollo | i partitioned with fdisk | 00:54 |
| idlemind324 | apollo: what os did you do fdisk in, something windows? | 00:54 |
| apollo | nope... the ubuntu install disk. when i boot it live I can see them in dmesg | 00:54 |
| apollo | but the install dialog doesn't see them | 00:54 |
| apollo | i have a /dev/mapper/pdc_blahblahblah option | 00:55 |
| apollo | and that is it | 00:55 |
| maum | can i use touch screen on ubuntu? | 00:56 |
| idlemind324 | apollo interesting | 00:56 |
| Phase | OmegaForte: Didn't see anything resembling the functionality of a --silent, any other ideas? | 00:56 |
| idlemind324 | apollo have you initialized the installer from the live cd? | 00:56 |
| apollo | frustrating | 00:56 |
| apollo | idlemind324: initialized? | 00:56 |
| idlemind324 | started | 00:56 |

| apollo | then the "Try Ubuntu" button | 00:57 |
| apollo | followed by double clicking the install opeion on the desktop | 00:57 |
| kevin_ | hello | 00:57 |
| idlemind324 | apollo at the terminal in the live cd you ran fdisk /dev/sda (or sdb if that is the disk you want to use) | 00:57 |
| apollo | neither medthod gives me anything | 00:57 |
| apollo | idlemind324: yes sdb, after nothing was showing up | 00:57 |
| coz_ | apollo, you may want to try the minimal install cd only 19 megs and installs via t he net aka "net install" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:58 |
| idlemind324 | apollo those commands work and allow you to edit a partition table or they fail? | 00:58 |
| coz_ | apollo, this is NOT a live cd however,, it installs very similarly to the alternate cd | 00:58 |
| apollo | idlemind324: they work | 00:58 |
| apollo | coz_: will look into it... | 00:58 |
| osn | hi | 00:59 |
| idlemind324 | apollo: i can't say why the installer wouldn't recognize the disks but i would try the minimal or at least the alternate install next | 01:00 |

| Raggs | jgcampbell300: add sudo to the beginning | 01:05 |
| idlemind324 | jgcampell300 first step would be to find out what your volume is named | 01:05 |

| Viking667 | CaptWho: I did ask you a question, by the way | 01:32 |
| CaptWho | i dont' even see a numlock key | 01:32 |
| Viking667 | First, can you find the Fn key? It should be down beside your Alt or Ctrl key. | 01:32 |
| CaptWho | normally you'd hold down the fn key to get it to do that | 01:32 |
| CaptWho | i see the fn key | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | Hit it once. | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | Then tell me if that lets you type letters now | 01:33 |
| CaptWho | i hit it once, and i still can't type letters | 01:33 |
| maum | Can someone help me about touch screen? | 01:33 |
| Viking667 | Right. Hold it down, and try typing those same keys? | 01:33 |
| CaptWho | that doesn't seem to change anything | 01:34 |
| Viking667 | hm. So something's stuck. | 01:34 |
| Viking667 | and you don't see a blue NumLock above any key? | 01:34 |
| CaptWho | i hold down the function key and hit a O and i still get a 6 | 01:34 |
| jreveles | there should be a little lock with a 9 inside it on your keyborard | 01:34 |
| CaptWho | YES! | 01:35 |
| Viking667 | hm? | 01:35 |
| jreveles | so press the FN + that key | 01:35 |

| TBotNik | All: One of my computers locked up and thought I had bad motherboard only to find ext HD was responsible, but in the process somehow crashed all my network settings. HOWTO please! I have already edited the /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf; then restarted the network and even rebooted but the eth2 and the wlan0 configs do not come up and on network restart are giving "Disabled" errors. | 02:39 |

| braxton | I can just send e-mail from my computer with the domain name I chose. | 02:44 |
| braxton | Wow, that's neat. | 02:44 |
| ga_pro1988 | how to channel to backtrack-linux? | 02:45 |
| rww | ga_pro1988: /join #backtrack-linux | 02:45 |
| rww | My apologies for the incoming modespam. | 02:49 |
| braxton | jetscreamer: Hey, I just used tasksel to install the mail server. | 02:49 |
| braxton | jetscreamer: And I was able to send an e-mail. | 02:50 |
| jetscreamer | \o/ | 02:50 |
| braxton | jetscreamer: Unfortunately, I replied to my e-mail using my ip address, and I don't know how to get it on my computer. | 02:50 |
| jetscreamer | not my forte, i have a webhost | 02:50 |
| braxton | jetscreamer: I tried using 'mail' with no arguments, but it tells me root has no mail. | 02:51 |
| catorceavo | where can ilook for startup scripts in ubuntu | 02:53 |
| catorceavo | ? | 02:53 |
| apn | catorceavo, /etc/rc.d | 02:53 |
| ga_pro1988 | why, i join in backtrack-linux but i can't send any message?? | 02:53 |
| rww | !register | ga_pro1988 | 02:53 |
| ubottu | ga_pro1988: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 02:53 |
| rww | ga_pro1988: because you're not identified with nickserv, see above | 02:54 |
| jetscreamer | braxton: might need to set your local mta up to be a forwarding thing to another mailserver, iirc they want an fqdn not just an ip for mail servers | 02:54 |
| jetscreamer | but i forget | 02:54 |
| jetscreamer | /etc/init.d | 02:54 |
| jetscreamer | also | 02:54 |
| catorceavo | there is no /etc/rc.d, theres a bunch or rc0-rcS | 02:54 |
| jetscreamer | for the links to the rc dirs | 02:55 |
| jetscreamer | yes | 02:55 |
| jetscreamer | 0 is shutdown, 1 is single, 2-5 are multi | 02:55 |
| jetscreamer | iirc you type init to see which you are in | 02:55 |
| braxton | jetscreamer: Are you saying that Gmail doesn't like it when I use an IP address instead of a domain name? | 02:55 |
| jetscreamer | if you type init 0 you will halt... 6 is reboot? | 02:56 |
| jetscreamer | braxton: i'm saying i think that right but i haven't messed with mailservers in a while and i might be wrong but i don't think i am but i'm not sure, if you really wanna know :) | 02:56 |
| catorceavo | how do i figure out what run level i am in? | 02:56 |
| rww | catorceavo: 'initctl list', per http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#list-all-jobs | 02:57 |
| jetscreamer | type init | 02:57 |
| rww | catorceavo: which is an excellent resource in general. | 02:57 |

| luckysmack | ok so i have an external hd which i use frequently across computers. in ubuntu to auto have ntfs read/write support i installed ntfs-config. but now only root can mount or unmount it. as soon as i plug it in/try to unmount i get a message saying only root can do that. if it was something that was always mounted id just add a line to fstab. so how can i make it so i auto have ntfs r/w suport but i can mount/unmount anytime? | 03:07 |
| semi-afk | luckysmack: why you have to install ntfs-config, ubuntu-desktop come with the ntfs-3g and auto mount it with gvfs | 03:08 |
| luckysmack | when i had tried to connect it before installing ntfs-config i didnt have rx permissions and was owned by root. | 03:10 |
| luckysmack | semi-afk, and i had ntfs-3g installed | 03:10 |
| luckysmack | im on natty. | 03:10 |
| joint | who upgraded to 11.10 alpha 3? | 03:10 |

| luckysmack | yea i know. | 03:10 |
| luckysmack | it was already there. i installed the config cause i remembered having the same issue in the past and the config app fixing it. | 03:11 |
| semi-afk | luckysmack: do you have and entry in fstab for that drive? | 03:11 |
| cypha | how do you reinstall an app? | 03:12 |

| cypha | luckysmack: what about with aptitude? | 03:13 |
| xangua | !classic | 03:13 |
| xangua | hylian: try classic or unity-2d | 03:13 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 03:13 |
| luckysmack | cypha, if you want to remove the config files as well add '--purge'' before the remove line. | 03:13 |
| luckysmack | cypha, same | 03:13 |
| mrlane | running into authentication error when using the terminal | 03:13 |

| dan_ | i do not understand | 03:14 |
| hylian | xangua, i have spent 3 hours tweaking unity, and really don't want to go through that process again. does unity-2d mimic unity 4? | 03:14 |
| luckysmack | ive never really used ubuntuOne. i have a dropbox. would there still be a benefit to ubuntuOne if i used the free version? | 03:14 |
| dan_ | i have tried everything in dis util and nothing will format this dang micro sd card!!! | 03:14 |

| dan_ | hmmm il try | 03:15 |
| Tbruff13 | hey can someone answer my quick question i would why can't i paste pictures in ubuntu one folder | 03:15 |
| luckysmack | dan_, gparted should format just about anything. | 03:16 |
| dan_ | k | 03:16 |
| mrlane | hylian, i'm trying to install SmartBoard software using the su command | 03:16 |
| dan_ | i thought it might just be cus it is a secure sd card but i dunno | 03:16 |
| semi-afk | !permission | Tbruff13 check the permission if you can write to the folder ? | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Tbruff13 check the permission if you can write to the folder ?: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 03:16 |
| rww | Tbruff13: #ubuntuone may be able to help if #ubuntu doesn't, btw | 03:17 |
| hylian | mrlane it's not su in ubuntu. it's sudo command password. | 03:17 |
| mouse | How much trouble is gnome3? | 03:18 |
| lsemple | hi I just reinstalled xubuntu 10.04 on my system, is there a way to set which partition the /home folder is after Ubuntu has been reinstalled ??? | 03:19 |
| hylian | mrlane, if you really want to gain su access, you can type sudo su, but sudo command password is the usual way to get things done | 03:19 |
| rww | sudo -i | 03:19 |
| rww | mouse: Depends on what you mean by trouble. The GNOME 3 builds for released versions of Ubuntu are unstable and unsupported, so in those terms, I'd say "quite a bit". | 03:19 |
| lsemple | my origional folder is /home,. and I thought I could just reinstall the os, and keep the /home folder which is on the second partition, | 03:19 |
| lsemple | but the install set the /home folder all on the same partition as the root | 03:19 |
| mouse | rww, lol that would explain the mixed reviews. Thank you. | 03:20 |
| lsemple | can I change where the /home folder is stored now that the system is installed ? | 03:20 |
| lsemple | or should I reinstall ? | 03:20 |
| Mike9863 | How can I make it so that when I attempt to connect to a certain IP address, it will connect to a different one that I specify instead? | 03:20 |
| somsip | lsemple: you will have to boot to livecd, create a new home partition some where else, mount your current /home somewhere, mount the new /home somewhere, copy all from old home to new home, mount current / and edit current /etc/fstab to mnt /home from it's new location | 03:20 |
| luckysmack | dan_, if its encrypted, yea maybe not without some hacking ork nowing the pass. | 03:20 |
| centr0 | spotify on ubuntu! win! | 03:20 |
| idlemind324 | mike9863 i'd guess iptables could accomplish that for you | 03:20 |
| rww | !separatehome | lsemple: this may or may not be useful | 03:20 |
| ubottu | lsemple: this may or may not be useful: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 03:20 |
| somsip | lsemple: and it';s recommend to do a copy using cpio (I did when moving log and var to other partitions). Google has more info | 03:21 |
| idlemind324 | mike9863 i'd guess you'd treat it similar to how you configure iptables to forward stuff that comes in on certain ports to internal boxes | 03:21 |
| somsip | doh - you mean there's a bot command for that :) | 03:21 |
| idlemind324 | mike 9863 just kind of reversed | 03:21 |
| Mike9863 | idlemind324, okay I'll look into it. Thanks. | 03:22 |

| esd | hi | 03:23 |
| esd | is there a fix for the time stampin xchat (um using ubuntu 11.04)? | 03:23 |
| lsemple | is there a way to reset the path of where the home folder resides from my O/s's partition to the second partition I already have, so I can recover the stuff in my home folder ? | 03:23 |

| idlemind324 | merlot: #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-dev | 03:25 |
| somsip | lsemple: boot to live cd, mount current / somewhere, edit /etc/fstab to point at the intended home partition. Sounds like you'll have to do something to copy files over though. See my first answer or the bot hint | 03:26 |
| centHOGG | bluefish | 03:26 |
| sublim21_ | bluefish? | 03:26 |
| merlot | idlemind324: thank you kind sir! | 03:26 |
| luckysmack | sublim21, for a full IDE, i like netbeans. does eveyrthing. something simple i like sublime text 2 (no auto complete) | 03:26 |
| centHOGG | !bluefish | 03:26 |
| mouse | rww, A good quick fix might be to write a script and set it run at startup. | 03:26 |
| centHOGG | wiki it | 03:26 |
| rww | mouse: I know, but I want to do it The Right Way, which I doubt that is. | 03:27 |
| sublim21_ | lucksmack i was using netbeans. its good but might be a little too much for my wee little netbook | 03:27 |
| sublim21_ | luckysmack: see above | 03:27 |
| luckysmack | ah for a minimal laptop. yea bluefish is good | 03:27 |
| mouse | rww, Yeah that's more of a band-aid rather than a cure. | 03:27 |
| luckysmack | sublim21, how much ram and resources will you have available? | 03:28 |
| sublim21_ | luckysmack: i just installed the extra ram for 2gb and dual core 1.6ghz something or other | 03:28 |
| sublim21_ | im going to try out bluefish just to see if i like it better | 03:29 |
| centHOGG | sublim21: may the force be with you | 03:29 |
| luckysmack | sublim21, to be honest i think netbeans will still run. you could try. but otherwise try bluefish. some people like scite i think. and for css, 'cssed' is neat | 03:29 |
| sublim21_ | centHOGG: Force? we don't need no stinking force | 03:30 |
| sublim21_ | luckysmack: im going to install netbeans just to see if this thing can handle it. but im going to check out bluefish later as well. | 03:31 |
| sublim21_ | thanks all for the help :D | 03:31 |
| sublim21_ | oh, another question | 03:31 |
| sublim21_ | i just spent like 2 hours installing this version of ubuntu because of its 'uniquness' and i'd like to back up ubuntu. how can i do this? | 03:31 |
| luckysmack | !backup | 03:32 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:32 |
| cowslammer | besides GIMP is there a graphics utility that will let me resize images? | 03:33 |
| luckysmack | sublim21, there a few places to start. for config files and the like, i actually throw mine into git repos which are hosted on my webserver. you can also do things like having your /home directory mounted to another partition so if you have to re-install you still have all your settings | 03:34 |
| sublim21_ | luckysmack: what do you recommend? | 03:35 |
| luckysmack | cowslammer, imagemagic can do from the command line. | 03:35 |
| luckysmack | its pretty easy too. has good documentation on howto do it. | 03:35 |
| felipe_Brz | cowslammer: imagemagick | 03:36 |
| luckysmack | sublim21, i have my home, opt, and srv directories on another harddrive. and my main part of the OS is on a SSD. so if i reinstall i just do so normally and tell the installer the path to those directories | 03:36 |

| free99 | sorry to bump, but... anyone have any suggestions for dealing with the gvfs error I'm having with my encrypted home directory? | 04:16 |
| cjs_ | dli: I don't see why it should make a difference. /dev/sda is simply a long list of bytes that can be read or written in block size chunks. Just like a file, or /dev/sda1, or whatever. | 04:16 |
| maum | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/167005 | 04:16 |
| dli | cjs_, by default, VM has no access to any real hardware,everything provided from software virtualization | 04:17 |
| Mexibuntu | After a recent update of my Ubuntu 11.04 system, the flash plugin is now extremly slow and ineffective. Do any other users experience the same issue ? (using chromium here) | 04:17 |
| jbhewitt | Mexibuntu - chrome doesn't use the flash plugin | 04:18 |
| jbhewitt | it uses it's own implementation | 04:18 |
| dli | cjs_, in other words, the /dev/sda seen by OS in virtual machine has no relation with /dev/sda in the host OS | 04:18 |
| rww | jbhewitt: Chrome, yes. Mexibuntu said Chromium. | 04:19 |
| jbhewitt | rww and with that i bow out | 04:19 |
| === RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc | ||
| Mexibuntu | rww: So chrome uses it's own "internal" plugin and chromium the system one ? | 04:20 |
| Mexibuntu | So either i try to replace the system plugin or give a try to chrome, right ? | 04:20 |
| rww | Mexibuntu: Chromium doesn't include Flash as it's non-free, so I would imagine so. | 04:21 |
| rww | (I don't use Flash, so...) | 04:21 |
| rww | sorry, clarification: Debian and Ubuntu's chromium packages don't. I don't know if this is true of Chromium upstream, though I imagine it is. | 04:21 |
| cjs_ | dli: I am assigning /dev/sda on the host as the source for /dev/sda in the guest, so they should be identical. I.e., if you read a block from /dev/sda in the guest, you should get the exact same data that you'd get if you read it from /dev/sda in the host. Or does it not work that way? | 04:22 |
| JZApples | Is there a way to change where Evolution stores all it's data and move that to a software RAID array? | 04:22 |
| Mexibuntu | rww: Thanks for the detailed answer. Is it easy to use an "earlier" package of flash ? | 04:22 |
| rww | Mexibuntu: I don't know, sorry | 04:23 |
| dli | cjs_, -hda /dev/sda ? | 04:24 |
| Mexibuntu | rww: Thanks for the help though :) Let me RTFM for a while :p | 04:24 |
| preecher | i wanna setup dual boot--my distro's choices are ubuntu of course but the other distro i was planning on installing uses legacy grub---i tried doing this before & after i install the other distro on my empty partition i dont see ubuntu or the choice to boot into ubuntu--is this because they use different grubs? | 04:25 |

| Braden` | Hello | 04:26 |
| larie | is that right layout? | 04:26 |
| Braden` | I have a network connection (wired), but I cannot browse any websites. I can ping external sites though | 04:26 |
| larie | Braden`: try nmap that site | 04:27 |
| larie | Braden`: if nmap will say that 80 port of site is closted or filtered | 04:27 |
| larie | Braden`: then problem is on your router/provider network | 04:27 |
| larie | Braden`: like packet filtering/mtu discovery black hole | 04:28 |
| Braden` | nmap is not currently installed. Cannot install it because of dns issues I reckon | 04:28 |
| Braden` | How do I check my dns servers? | 04:29 |
| Braden` | They aren't listed in ifconfig | 04:29 |
| mcurran | Is it possible to manually update chipset firmware like nforce or smbus without upgrading the kernel? | 04:30 |
| th0r | Braden`: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 04:30 |
| larie | Braden`: whoops that is ubuntu channel :) sorry | 04:30 |
| larie | Braden`: nano /etc/resolv.conf | 04:30 |
| larie | Braden`: you need to edit that by hand if you do not use dhcp | 04:31 |
| cjs_ | dli: I didn't understand that last comment. In the VM configuration, block device /dev/sda is used as "IDE Disk 1". | 04:31 |
| * Blue1 hates network mangler | 04:31 | |
| th0r | Blue1: if you really hate it, dump it and install wicd | 04:32 |
| dli | cjs_, oh, I mean from command line, something like: qemu-kvm -hda /dev/sda | 04:32 |
| Blue1 | th0r: i did long ago | 04:33 |
| th0r | Blue1: just for the record...I agree with you <smile> | 04:33 |

| JZApples | Probably a dumb question, but in /dev/sda, does the sd stand for anything specific? I assume dev is device and a, b, c1, c2, etc... is the ATA port/drive, but what is sd? | 04:34 |
| th0r | JZApples: I think it stands for sata. The ide drives I believe are identified as hda, hdb, etc | 04:35 |
| Blue1 | JZApples: good question | 04:35 |
| Lasers | JZApples: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/basics.html -- SCSI disk -- See 6.2 | 04:35 |
| JZApples | th0r, that makes sense. The letters don't really matter right? For some reason my OS drive got initalized as /dev/sdb and my storage RAID array got marked as /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. That's not going to hurt anything is it? | 04:37 |
| Braden` | That fixed it | 04:37 |
| Braden` | Thank you! | 04:37 |
| cjs_ | dli: Yes, I've got that, more or less. I'm using virt-manager, but it runs kvm with "-boot c -drive file=/dev/sda,if=ide,index=0,boot=on,format=raw" among other options. | 04:37 |
| th0r | JZApples: I don't think it will hurt anything. So long as the designations do not change from one boot to another it should be OK. | 04:37 |
| dli | cjs_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Directly | 04:38 |
| dli | cjs_, it says use the option with care | 04:39 |
| JZApples | th0r, they shouldn't change, but i don't actually have them listed in fstab. Is that something I want to make sure and configure? | 04:39 |

| th0r | JZApples: I am not an expert on this. I have always had all the internal drives defined in fstab, and would be wary about any config that didn't do that. | 04:44 |
| JZApples | th0r, I really think I should look into setting everything up in there. Any idea what /dev/md0 stands for then? It's a software RAID array that I have setup by following directions online. They called it md0 and I'm just curious if you knew. | 04:46 |

The filenames always start with lib, and end with .a (archive, static library) or .so (a shared object, dynamically linked library) with an optional interface number." <-- This is no contradiction to | 06:24 |
| bullgard4_ | what you said? | 06:24 |
| luckysmack | ActionParsnip, cool thanks for the help. trying now | 06:24 |
| csdserver | nevermind, i'm an idiot... simple as a right click | 06:24 |
| resc_user_2169 | i didnt think it was possible for a system to fail this deep | 06:25 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| glebihan | bullgard4, no no contradiction, compiled drivers are in .so format as are other shared libraries | 06:25 |
| resc_user_2169 | it seems like everything i have tried has failed miserably | 06:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4_: if its a hardware driver it will be .so Not seen .a but i've never delved to deep in that direction | 06:26 |
| csdserver | resc - what is failing? | 06:26 |
| bullgard4_ | ActionParsnip: Thank you very much for your help. | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | resc_user_2169: are the partitions healthy and have you tested you RAM | 06:26 |
| resc_user_2169 | not sure if you saw previous chat but my grub has been impossible to restore | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard4_: always a pleasure :-) | 06:27 |
| resc_user_2169 | i first got a grub error and attempted bootrepair and rescatux to restore but nothing worked | 06:27 |
| csdserver | resc_user_2169, what happens when you expect the grub screen? | 06:28 |
| corinth | Does anyone have Spotify running under Ubuntu/wine? | 06:28 |
| resc_user_2169 | not the grub screen but when i boot from hdd after install i have a grub error | 06:28 |
| resc_user_2169 | and no restoration has worked | 06:29 |
| semi-afk | ` | 06:29 |
| preecher | running ubuntu 11.04- when i install another distro on a empty partition & reboot i dont see ubuntu or even have the option of dual booting, is the because one is grub2 & the other is old grub(legacy grub) | 06:31 |
| vaev | corinth: yes it's possible but there is also a native linux client for spotify | 06:31 |
| corinth | vaev, Yeah, but sadly it's only for "Premium" subscribers | 06:31 |
| jussi | corinth: I do. vaev: the native client is only for premium users | 06:31 |
| corinth | Mind if I open up a chat with you, jussi? | 06:31 |

| corinth | Sure. I installed Spotify through Wine, but it crashes every time after login. | 06:32 |
| resc_user_2169 | @csdserver any ideas at all? | 06:32 |
| lucky711x | when booting ubuntu 11.04 install cd i can get passed the icons of what looks like is a "card of ram equals a person with a circle around it"? what is this and what does it mean? | 06:32 |
| lucky711x | cant* | 06:32 |
| jussi | corinth: does it give an error? does wine crash or spotify crash? | 06:33 |
| jussi | corinth: and is it a new install of wine? have you run winecfg yet? | 06:33 |
| corinth | jussi, I think it's Spotify. Spotify asks me to send a crash report afterward. Yes, and yes I did. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu. | 06:33 |
| corinth | To clarify: It asks me to send a crash report, *after* I restart it. | 06:34 |
| csdserver | what is the error exactly? does it halt your system and give you any message? | 06:34 |
| jussi | corinth: hrm, if its spotify crashing there isnt much we can do, I'd send the crash report and see what they say. Also, try running it from the commandline and see if theres anything informative from there | 06:34 |
| corinth | csdserver, No error given. Spotify starts up, I log in, it looks as though it starts to load a page or something, and BOOM. Crashes. | 06:35 |
| lucky711x | does anyone know what the "RAM = circle around a person" icon means on boot of an Ubuntu 11.04 desktop i386 install cd? | 06:36 |
| csdserver | resc_user_2169, you have access to the filesystem with your boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 06:37 |
| resc_user_2169 | it is saying no such file or directory | 06:38 |
| corinth | jussi, I'll try running it from the command line | 06:38 |
| corinth | Ok, when it crashes, it gives this error: | 06:40 |
| csdserver | resc_user_2169, are you on your grub command line for the non-booting system? | 06:40 |
| corinth | wine: Call from 0x7b842ce0 to unimplemented function winhttp.dll.WinHttpConnect, aborting | 06:40 |
| varun | i have formatted the partition on which earlier ubuntu was installed but it is still showing the options when i boot my sustem | 06:41 |
| resc_user_2169 | yes but right now i am booted off of the rescatux live cd | 06:41 |
| resc_user_2169 | like i said, im new to this so it would make sense to live cd ubuntu as we speak? | 06:42 |
| TheCyberShocker | Hello can someone help me please, i have a wubi error when launching, saying about "Fail to run pylauncher" how do i fix this? | 06:42 |
| Name141 | Would there be any issues when using a KVM switch with a Windows machine on the other end of the switch ? | 06:42 |
| Name141 | (Another words, the other computer being windows) | 06:42 |
| corinth | TheCyberShocker, You should be able to get rid of that by keeping clicking Continue | 06:43 |
| Name141 | Or using the switch at all. | 06:43 |
| TheCyberShocker | corinth: i only see ok and once pushed it never comes back untill i double click again | 06:43 |

| bazhang | lucky711x, dont do that here | 06:45 |
| TheCyberShocker | I've looked at these, and none of them make sense to me | 06:45 |
| lucky711x | bazhang, just an easy fix he needs to research before asking broad general questions | 06:45 |
| csdserver | resc_user_2169, i'm looking at what rescatux can do. I've never used it before. If you use a command line 'df -h' command, what is the output? | 06:45 |
| glebihan | varun, you have to run update-grub in order for the boot menu to be updated | 06:46 |

| varun | dr_willis, i think i installed ubuntu 9 with wubi but i dont exactly remember..i am not replacing it, i want to remove it..i just installed ubuntu 11 uxing wubi | 06:48 |
| Lasers | lucky711x: You have a keen eye. | 06:48 |
| dr_willis | varun, if you used wubi. you remove the install same as you would remove any other application in wndows. via the windows add/remove programs tool in the control panel area. | 06:48 |
| lucky711x | IdleOne, fine i wont to it again, I had no intentions of hurt people's feelings, I didn't realize people were so sensitive in here | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | varun, so you have 2 wubi installs on a single machine? | 06:49 |
| varun | ok then it wasnt wubi | 06:49 |
| dr_willis | I wouldent do wubi at all.. If you did a normal install. then you just delete the partitions. or tell the installer to install over them. | 06:49 |
| glebihan | dr_willis, he already deleted the partition | 06:51 |
| sally_ | hello all! | 06:52 |
| glebihan | varun, run "sudo update-grub" | 06:52 |
| lucky711x | dr_willis, about you response earlier, no keys were pressed during boot, it is an i386 cd booting on an amd64 processor, but i thought this is fine as long as I dont want a 64 bit OS | 06:52 |
| sally_ | does anyone know how to enable wifi in ubuntu netbook? | 06:52 |
| varun | dr_willis, i deleted the partition but it is still showing ubuntu 9 as an option when i reboot, though it gives an error on selecting the option | 06:52 |
| sally_ | I'm using an aspire one netbook and I'm switching the switch in the front, but no go | 06:52 |
| lucky711x | sally_, what kind of netbook? | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | varun, this is the GRUB menu you are seeing? or the windows bootloader menu? | 06:52 |
| lucky711x | sally_, what does it say when you click the two computers in the top right corner? do you see networks or your wifi card at least? | 06:53 |
| sally_ | lucky711x: an acer aspire one | 06:53 |
| varun | dr_willis, grub menu | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | sally_, on some of theose netbooks. the front switch dosent work. Or dosent work right. It may need some tweaks to get it going. Ivehad to boot to windows, turn on wireless. then leave it on.. and never touch the switch while in linux | 06:53 |
| dr_willis | varun, so you still have a Linux install on it then? and its showing Ubuntu 9, and 10 and windows? | 06:54 |
| sally_ | dr_willis: unfortunately, I don't have dual boot on this computer | 06:54 |
| lucky711x | sally_, you may have issues with hibernating or going to sleep with WIFI on and coming back and not able to enable it | 06:54 |
| sally_ | lucky711x: in the top right corner it has enable networking checked but I can't highly enable wireless to get it going | 06:55 |
| varun | dr_willis, yes yes | 06:55 |
| dr_willis | varun, double check the partitions, nbe sure you deleted the ones fro the other linux install,. and rerun update-grub - it should auto remove any invalid entries. | 06:55 |
| varun | k i'll try | 06:56 |
| lucky711x | sally_, private message me | 06:56 |
| sally_ | i think dr_willis is right. The card might not be coming on at the switch. that's a bummer. | 06:56 |

| Ycarene | Eltimo - are you using the proprietary nvidia drivers? | 08:08 |

| hellyeah | i want to change apache folder from /var/www to any folder like /home/blah/blah how can i do that | 08:10 |
| yagoo | hellyeah, check the apache conf.. | 08:10 |
| yagoo | hellyeah, /var/www is defined in there somewhere.. | 08:10 |
| Ycarene | ElTimo - unless your X server has compositing turned off for some strange reason. | 08:11 |
| maahes | yagoo~> thanks, but that's not useful information for me. I'm looking for the physical location of one of the default installed keyboard profile xkb files (or how they're ordered) specifically I'm looking for the german layout Neo2 | 08:11 |
| ionutP | hi all | 08:12 |
| yagoo | maahes, according to that site "The easiest way to switch to a new layout in your Desktop Environment is to click Computer/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard Preferences. " | 08:12 |
| ionutP | anyone using blueman? | 08:12 |
| maahes | yagoo~> and that's not what I'm interested in. I'm interested in *editing that file* | 08:12 |
| hellyeah | ./var/www not found in apache2.conf | 08:12 |
| maahes | specifically using it as a template to create my own custom keyboard profile | 08:12 |
| ionutP | how can i enable A2DP source service in blueman? | 08:12 |
| ElTimo | Ycarene: Xrender compositing works just dandily, but it's slow as molasses. | 08:13 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: You should not search with a . | 08:13 |
| Ycarene | eltimo - could be doing it in software | 08:13 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: grep -r '/var/www' /etc/apache2/ | 08:13 |
| yagoo | maahes, did u try looking with aptitude or synaptic ? (xkb keyword?) | 08:13 |
| maahes | yagoo~> its already installed. Synaptic wouldn't tell me anything useful about a particular file which is not a program package in itself | 08:14 |
| ElTimo | Ycarene: I thought xrender was entirely software? | 08:14 |
| yagoo | maahes, what is installed? | 08:14 |
| maahes | found it, nevermind | 08:14 |
| hellyeah | http://dpaste.com/586911/ | 08:14 |
| yagoo | maa_pan, dpkg -L <packagename>|grep bin | 08:14 |
| maahes | yagoo~> It's a keyboard profile. they're files installed under /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ not a program, not something I wanted to change, just a file I wanted to edit. | 08:15 |
| syntaxx | hi i am on quad display and i ran seperate X on each display due to bad performance on xinerama. But i am wondering if its possible to ran a same entity on each seperate X session rather than ran that application on where it ran the first session? | 08:15 |
| yagoo | maahes, there's probably tools so that you can have it in ~ | 08:15 |
| yagoo | maahes, i believe theres'an xkb command or something for X resources | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | hm. Something's weird. | 08:16 |
| maahes | yagoo~> there's several, they do not do what you think they do. | 08:16 |
| Viking667 | Sorry folks, my irssi's not behaving sanely | 08:16 |
| yagoo | maahes, ckbcomp doesn't do ? | 08:17 |
| yagoo | (there's also manpage loadkeys) | 08:18 |
| yagoo | maahes, you should avoid to editing system wide files.. you should ask #xorg .. things should be easier today :) | 08:18 |
| maahes | yagoo it wouldn't have told me what I wanted to know because I was looking for a file called "neo2" neo2 evidently is a sub-portion of the de layout | 08:19 |
| maahes | yagoo~> I'm copying it, editing it locally and then plugging it back in as my own custom mapping. | 08:19 |
| yagoo | maahes, i'm guessing you can copy everything for that keymap, modify the thing or two, and then load it from ~ | 08:19 |
| === root is now known as Guest52567 | ||
| Viking667 | whew. That got it right... I had a typo in the config. | 08:20 |

| yagoo | hellyeah, i'd simply change where it says /var/www from http://dpaste.com/586911/ | 08:20 |
| maahes | I wish there was just some interactive program for creating these damn files | 08:21 |
| Ycarene | eltimo - do you have nvidia-settings installed? | 08:21 |

| nmvictor | I want to be able to add devmode=0664 to my /dev/bus/usb/, so that i can have non-root access usb ports and devices. Any chance I'm gonna achieve this? | 08:29 |
| jcreek | Hello legs | 08:29 |
| ElTimo | Ycarene: It could just be that I need to bake it again. | 08:29 |
| Ycarene | Well, maybe it's just toast, heh. | 08:29 |
| Ycarene | But if it works at all, could be a config issue, What's it say for "configuration" under "x server display configuration" in nvidia-settings. | 08:30 |
| hellyeah | http://dpaste.com/586921/ can someone say to me how czn i fix thsat | 08:30 |

| Tetsuo55 | here is the patch im trying to apply https://gist.github.com/a5edb86fa26c14f0b0b4 | 09:12 |
| yagoo | ActionParsnip, mtab only shows what has been mounted.. | 09:12 |
| krazykrivda | I can execute 3 'cp' commands by doing xxx="eval cp ...; cp 2...; cp 3...";$xxx <-- how can I do the 'cp' command if I have to execute by: cp $xxx instead | 09:13 |
| yagoo | ActionParsnip, wouldn't show all the options for a particular fs type | 09:13 |
| Tetsuo55 | and im applying it to a source that i downloaded as a zip file, so i didnt use svn checkout | 09:13 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, that'll be a -p0 patch | 09:13 |

| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, can you pastebin the errors? | 09:14 |
| mgolisch | its realy not that hard dude | 09:14 |
| kyle_ | that works, so how woudl you write that in ftab. | 09:14 |
| yagoo | kyle_, if mtab does show anything for cifs that can be helpful.. | 09:14 |
| kyle_ | ActionParsnip: might just to the /etc/rc/local bit in a min | 09:14 |
| yagoo | kyle_, what does "cat /etc/mtab" say ? | 09:14 |
| Tetsuo55 | Araneidae: http://pastebin.com/URuCkf2v | 09:15 |

| yagoo | add that line to fstab.. | 09:15 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, it's definitely not happy ... at all. | 09:16 |
| Araneidae | Where's the source zip, I'll take a look. | 09:16 |
| Araneidae | I wonder if it could be as simple as a line endings issue? | 09:16 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: But i need to add username and password | 09:16 |
| lotuspsychje | gnome-settings-deamon that is | 09:16 |

| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, I've reproduced your problem, will look deeper now | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | xenland: did you also ask in the apache channel? | 09:20 |
| yagoo | Kyle__, thing is there's like 5 ways that u can mount smb/cifs.. | 09:20 |
| Tetsuo55 | ActionParsnip: cool thanks | 09:20 |
| lotuspsychje | xenland: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html | 09:20 |

| Jon-- | I am trying to bridge my eth0 connection over WLAN (allowing other nearby people to connect to my computer as an AP). Security heavily preferred if possible. I would also require to be able to use my eth0 connection to use the Internet at the same time. Friend and I are basically trying to share a single hotel Ethernet port. | 09:22 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, definitely looks like a line ending issue: your sources are CRLF endings, and the patch file is in Unix format | 09:22 |
| Tetsuo55 | how to fix? | 09:23 |
| goddard | Jon--: can your wifi act as an ap? | 09:23 |
| yagoo | apt-cache search dos2unix | 09:23 |
| yagoo | or u can use one of those crazy sed commands :) | 09:23 |
| yagoo | there's editors that can handle cr/lf.. dunno which ones though | 09:24 |
| goddard | Jon--: your wifi card must support master mode | 09:24 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok installing dos2unix | 09:24 |
| iceroot | yagoo: vim, emacs e.g. | 09:24 |
| lotuspsychje | xenland: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/Apache2_SSL_in_Ubuntu | 09:24 |
| goddard | Jon--: not many drivers support it what wifi card do you have | 09:25 |
| Jon-- | goddard, hold on | 09:25 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, there might be an option on patch, otherwise you can convert all your sources by running dos2unix on them | 09:25 |
| yagoo | iceroot, what about on X.. i'm guessing their x counterparts.. | 09:25 |
| goddard | Jon--: or if you have an android phone you could use that | 09:25 |
| Jon-- | goddard, 09:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 09:25 |
| iceroot | yagoo: emacs is x | 09:25 |
| iceroot | yagoo: gvim also | 09:26 |
| goddard | Jon--: what driver? | 09:26 |
| yagoo | iceroot, would it show the flow of text with %CRLF escapes or do the new line? | 09:26 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, if I run `find -type f -exec dos2unix {} \;` the patch then applies (except for one failed hunk), but that's a bit drastic | 09:26 |
| goddard | Jon--: type lspci -v and look for your card | 09:26 |
| iceroot | yagoo: ? | 09:26 |
| yagoo | Kyle__, ok i looked into this.. | 09:26 |
| yagoo | Kyle__, u still there? I found what ur missing.. ur missing a package | 09:27 |

| Macer | am i missing something here? | 09:27 |
| Tetsuo55 | dos2unix failed to stop any error | 09:27 |
| Macer | can i disable ssl errors in links? | 09:27 |
| Jon-- | goddard, Great. How do I do it then? | 09:28 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, that's the best I can come up with. Works for me | 09:28 |
| goddard | Jon--: look into hostapd and dnsmasq | 09:28 |
| yagoo | Tetsuo55, what file is this? (i believe dos2unix is only for plain text files) | 09:28 |
| Araneidae | I get one hunk failed in src/filters/PinInfoWnd.cpp, but that's all | 09:28 |

| carli2 | help. i updated my 10.10 yesterday and when i play videos my screen becomes black and i cant restart Xorg. i'm having intel 915 | 09:28 |
| goddard | Jon--: it is some what involved so don't expect to set this up in 5 minutes or anything maybe a hour or so | 09:28 |
| adreanalink | How can I let my system see packet I installed manually from make?? (Idon't want to install it from Synaptic) | 09:29 |

| Nimeis | Hi there. First time here...https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/702451 This is the problem I have. I also think this http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=41232 refers to the same problem. Has anyone faced this issue before? I found out this bug is present also in some other applications, so it is global. Im using 11.04. | 09:29 |

| Macer | lotuspsychje: yes | 09:30 |
| o0o0 | oh | 09:30 |
| lotuspsychje | Macer: i dont think links can handle ssl, but you could try to install Links2 | 09:30 |
| beli | dfcnvt: what do you mean with permission setting? | 09:30 |
| chenthu | whats the difference between "grub" and "grub-gfxpayload-lists grub-pc" | 09:30 |
| Jon-- | goddard, This is a loaner laptop because my usual one has a cracked screen. It's some gateway laptop. | 09:30 |
| yagoo | makara, try seeing why the installer is failing.. have u tried a text-only install or turning off acpi or something? | 09:31 |
| Macer | lotuspsychje: ah ok | 09:31 |
| Tetsuo55 | i give up then :/ | 09:31 |
| dfcnvt | beli, Is being a root is the same as sudo for user? ex: -rw-r--r-- <---- permission setting | 09:31 |
| Tetsuo55 | ill patch it on windows and send the patched zip to ubuntu | 09:32 |
| makara | yagoo: installer? i thought we were creating an uptodate distribution cd. where is the result? jigdo wants to go round in circles | 09:32 |
| yagoo | makara, u cant fix the installer with jigdo.. | 09:32 |
| yagoo | makara, thought u said u never had an install working.. | 09:32 |
| yagoo | makara, I said since I first told u about jigdo that I never performed jigdo :p | 09:33 |
| beli | dfcnvt:: if a users is allowed to exec stuff via sudo as the root user, the commands started with sudo are executed as the root user... | 09:33 |
| Hot2Trot | How can I edit ~/.mplayer/config so that whenever I use mplayer it automatically uses the option -fs? | 09:34 |
| bullgard4_ | glebihan: "[08:25]<glebihan>bullgard4, no no contradiction, compiled drivers are in .so format as are other shared libraries" <-- Thank you very much for your help. | 09:34 |
| Macer | lotuspsychje: no. same problem Verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate | 09:34 |
| yagoo | makara, i'm not talking about jigdo with u at this moment.. (even though u do use install sources with jigdo operations).. but initially i thought u were trying to use jigdo operations "in order" to have an installable ubuntu cd.. | 09:34 |
| Macer | but lynx seems to work fine | 09:34 |
| makara | blind leading the blind | 09:34 |
| Macer | i would rather avoid lynx tho | 09:35 |
| makara | yagoo: i want an uptodate installation cd for 11.04 32bit | 09:35 |
| tsimpson | Hot2Trot: add a line with "fs=1" | 09:35 |
| beli | dfcnvt: for example you could do as a user: sudo ps -ef | grep ps and you will see that ps -ef is executed as the root user, while the grep ps is executed as your user | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | Macer: Thought so..links2 browser just for simple txt based browsing...not ssl stuff or https | 09:35 |
| yagoo | makara, yah.. and I said I never use jigdo.. I can't help u on jigdo.. | 09:35 |
| yagoo | from the very beginning i said this.. | 09:35 |
| dfcnvt | beli, hmm okay, perhaps I think I'll learn more if I happen to change the setting for user if used sudo. Can you change the limitation for user directly or sudo program only? | 09:35 |
| makara | relax | 09:36 |
| cypha | can someone help me navigate .xresources? | 09:36 |
| yagoo | makara, then i asked u .. why do u want an updated cd? you told me you're trying to install ubuntu on your hardware.. | 09:36 |

| beli | dfcnvt: in linux everything is files....to limit users to access these files...you use the file ownerchip (man chown) and file permissions (man chmod). to organize access for many users...you use groups....you should read about that....its basic linux stuff | 09:37 |
| bullgard6 | [soved] I overlooked "mc". | 09:37 |

| cypha | i'm not understanding how to reassign keybindings | 09:38 |
| lotuspsychje | Macer: not sure if links can handle manually download certs | 09:38 |
| cypha | such as Alt+1 in xterm | 09:38 |
| Nimeis | beli: I don't get your idea, I just use chmod, and its sufficient for me. The rest: can anyone answer my previous question? | 09:38 |
| beli | dfcnvt: you just use sudo if you need to allow users to do special stuff if its not possible to do seperate it with the permissions | 09:38 |
| yagoo | cypha, that's probably xkb.. | 09:38 |
| yagoo | cypha, it's not a novice topic.. | 09:38 |

| Araneidae | yagoo, no, that's not how shell quoting works | 09:44 |
| egyption | OK BAZHANG | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | egyption, stop using CAPITALS! | 09:45 |
| egyption | but why sir? | 09:45 |
| Araneidae | better | 09:45 |
| bazhang | egyption, its the python channel | 09:45 |
| egyption | ubuntu? | 09:46 |
| bazhang | egyption, thats here. ##python <---- for python | 09:46 |
| Araneidae | yagoo, in particular, the shell is not used to exec the `cp` command | 09:46 |
| egyption | ok thank you sir | 09:46 |
| Araneidae | Actually, #python looks more lively than ##python | 09:47 |
| yagoo | Morgz, rsync -a /source /target | 09:47 |
| bazhang | thought it re-directed | 09:47 |
| yagoo | Morgz, that's the best solution.. apparently somebody gave an improper command.. | 09:47 |
| bullgard6 | Natty writes at startup in a virtual console: "[1.581365] mmc0: no vmc regulator found". I suppose that this message originates from the MMC kernel subsystem. Is mmc0 a program, or what is it? | 09:47 |
| yagoo | Morgz, (permissions/owner will be copied as well) | 09:48 |
| Araneidae | Sounds more like a device | 09:48 |
| yagoo | Araneidae, u need '{}' to copy spaced-filenames.. | 09:48 |
| yagoo | lol | 09:48 |
| yagoo | " '{}' " | 09:48 |
| Araneidae | yagoo, you're not right, and the reason is reasonably subtle. | 09:48 |
| yagoo | and it's better to use xargs with find.. | 09:48 |
| yagoo | lol | 09:49 |
| yagoo | ok try it.. | 09:49 |
| === b0nghittr is now known as b0nghitter | ||
| Hot2Trot | How can I edit ~/.mplayer/config so that whenever I use mplayer it automatically uses the option -fs? | 09:49 |
| Araneidae | First of all, the quotes around {} are stripped by the shell before {} is passed as an argument to find | 09:49 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: mmc0 should be your card-reader | 09:49 |
| Morgz | Areneidae - couldn't get that command to work "/targetdir\n: No such file of directory" | 09:49 |
| Araneidae | Secondly, find doesn't use the shell to launch the -exec'ed program | 09:49 |
| bullgard6 | !prefix | Araneidae | 09:49 |
| ubottu | Araneidae: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 09:49 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: (m)e(m)ory(c)ard(0) | 09:49 |
| Morgz | yagoo - will rsync "flatten" the files. Trying to lose the subdirs | 09:50 |
| yagoo | Araneidae, he'll be overwriting files if filenames are the same in the subdirs as well.. | 09:50 |
| Nimeis | Listen guys, I found a bug that is present in many applications, was discovered long time ago and hasn't been fixed. Im using 11.04. Should I look for some other chat? | 09:50 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, I did say it wasn't what he wanted | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: you can use an alias, it will mean mplayer ALWAYS uses the option | 09:50 |
| yagoo | Morgz, well u'll ^ (lose files if filenames are the same) | 09:50 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, you're better off with `cp -a` | 09:50 |
| bullgard6 | iceroot: A device designator, or a filename or what? | 09:50 |
| Tetsuo55 | Araneidae: i found the problem, the zip file was using windows line endings, if i do a svn checkout everything should apply correctly | 09:50 |
| Araneidae | Tetsuo55, that's good, is what I thought | 09:51 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: everything on linux is a file | 09:51 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: but yes its a device designator | 09:51 |
| Araneidae | Thanks for getting back | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Hot2Trot: in ~/.bashrc you can add alias mplayer='mplayer -fs' | 09:51 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, didn't realise you did want to flatten the directory | 09:51 |
| kyle_ | ActionParsnip: I tried to add my line to the rc.local file but that didn't work :( | 09:52 |
| bullgard6 | iceroot: How can a device designator write a message on thevirtual console? | 09:52 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, Then you do want my command, it's just the first part is the source directory | 09:52 |
| Morgz | Araneidae - sorry terrible at explaining stuff. cp -a or cp -dR didn't do it. | 09:52 |
| yagoo | Morgz, i believe u can flatten it out with rsync | 09:52 |
| yagoo | Morgz, rsync is a lazy man's tool imho | 09:52 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: the kernel is writing that message | 09:52 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone knows where to edit gnome-settings-deamon to prevent resetting gnome theme to default? | 09:52 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, let me be more clear. Let /source/dir be the name of the directory you want to flatten, /target/dir where you want to put everything. | 09:53 |
| yagoo | Morgz, if u want to be sure u don't overwrite files.. u can use tee | 09:53 |
| yagoo | Morgz, like->rsync <properstuff> | tee myoutput.txt | 09:53 |
| Nimeis | my mistake | 09:53 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, then `find /target/dir -type f -exec cp {} /target/dir \;` should work (without the ``) | 09:53 |
| Araneidae | sorru | 09:53 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, then `find /source/dir -type f -exec cp {} /target/dir \;` should work (without the ``) | 09:53 |
| bullgard6 | iceroot: Yes. Probably in particular the MMC kernel subsystem. But what program or routine of the kernel? | 09:54 |
| Araneidae | yagoo, if you're using xargs then you *do* need to worry about shell quoting (or use -print0 etc) | 09:54 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: ##linux | 09:54 |
| iceroot | bullgard6: guess that is to detailed for #ubuntu | 09:54 |
| Araneidae | What's the difference between a # and a ## channel? | 09:55 |
| Morgz | Araneidae - that worked, seems odd to have to specify the same directory twice, but regardless it's working | 09:55 |

| Araneidae | Funny though, quite a few # channels seem to redirect to ## channels | 09:57 |
| Morgz | Araneidae - first one didn't work for me, last did. run cmd from source/target dir, defined twice in 2nd cmd but it worked anyways, seems more convoluted than necessary, but thanks nonetheless | 09:57 |
| bazhang | Araneidae, more a question for #freenode | 09:57 |
| yagoo | Morgz, find /somplace -type f | wc -l .. does line count | 09:57 |
| MysteriousMan | Question : how to remove folder (in home dir) when uninstall program using makefile ?? | 09:57 |
| yagoo | Morgz, then do compare this number to ur target dir.. u can be sure if any filenames were overwritten.. | 09:58 |
| Araneidae | Morgz, if your current directory is /target/dir then you can put . instead of /target/dir | 09:58 |
| Araneidae | yagoo, Morgz wanted to flatten everything, so overwriting will be part of the story | 09:58 |
| yagoo | I take that as sarcastically.. i'll let that one pass | 09:59 |
| lotuspsychje | does regular updates fixes bugs too? | 09:59 |
| yagoo | Morgz, what works for you that's good.. keep things professional and clean.. | 10:00 |
| Araneidae | MysteriousMan, it's not a good idea for makefiles to go round touching user directories, so you'll have to remove any user specific files by hand. | 10:00 |
| kyle_ | ActionParsnip: I tried to add my line to the rc.local file but that didn't work :( | 10:00 |
| yagoo | kyle_, did u get my pm? | 10:01 |
| yagoo | kyle_, you're missing the cifs-utils package.. | 10:01 |
| yagoo | kyle_, this will allow u to use fstab with cifs | 10:01 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: I see. Can i paste you my line again ad you let me know how too format it for ftab | 10:02 |
| yagoo | (it also installs the mount.cifs manpage-- man mount.cifs) | 10:02 |
| MysteriousMan | <Araneidae> how i will remove folder in every pc by hand that have installed my program :) | 10:02 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: cifs-utils is already the newest version | 10:02 |

| chenthu | is there any possiblity for me to install gnome 3 on ubuntu Natty? | 10:05 |
| iceroot | chenthu: yes | 10:05 |
| bazhang | chenthu, not supported. avoid it | 10:05 |
| iceroot | chenthu: but that will break unity | 10:05 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: OK i have it. I will try it. | 10:05 |

| ubottu | chenthu: 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. | 10:05 |
| iceroot | chenthu: to have a look at gnome3 maybe try the fedora-livecd | 10:06 |
| bazhang | chenthu, breakage requires a reinstall. | 10:06 |

| boyka | she's in the chat | 10:07 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I've tried Gnome 3, it's not bad. It does require more mouse clicks than the old Gnome, though. | 10:07 |
| bazhang | boyka, stop NOW | 10:07 |
| boyka | name is Susan. | 10:07 |
| iceroot | boyka: wrong channel for that | 10:07 |
| boyka | anyone know any user by that name | 10:07 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: i don't mind doint it in the etc/rc.local file but i think that runs as local user so mount dosn't work. Can i run as root and add root pasword to the same line? | 10:07 |
| kora-chan | Hey, I just connected a external monitor to my vga port (running on intel 3000HD) on my machine (11.04). the problem is that i can only switch the resolution as high as 1024x768 but the monitor can 1280x1024, any idea? | 10:07 |
| chenthu | iceroot: i am not going to fedora.....hmmm may be i will check it out ... :-P | 10:07 |
| isildur2 | helo | 10:07 |
| iceroot | chenthu: there is no other stable live-system atm with gnome3 | 10:07 |

| yagoo | geez relax bazhang on me will ya? | 10:08 |
| bazhang | yagoo, lets stay on topic | 10:08 |
| iceroot | chenthu: maybe opensuse also have gnome3 as stable live-cd but not ubuntu and as it seems there wont be gnome3 (the real gnome3) in the future on ubuntu | 10:08 |

| MrCoffeeTV | Don't know of a way to install it, or which distribution it's available for. | 10:10 |
| chenthu | iceroot: hmmm.... unity dint wor on mine... so i am using classic ubuntu classic on my system...but that was after disabling nouveau and before instaliong my nvidia driver... ihope it works now | 10:10 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Unity works fine on my system, chenthu, and this is an older Sempron based machine. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | MrCoffeeTV: there is an unstable PPA, it's default in Oneiric | 10:11 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I have an NVidia GT 8400, which Ubuntu has no issues with. | 10:11 |

| MrCoffeeTV | chenthu: the Gnome 3 live CD doesn't actually install, it just runs on the CD. So, no harm just trying it. | 10:13 |

| makara | yagoo: for the record, jigdo seems to be pretty pointless. it has downloaded over 700mb of updates and its still going so there's really no added efficiency | 10:28 |
| iRBiNiX | hello. Have anybody mail on .edu??? | 10:28 |
| bazhang | iRBiNiX, how is that on topic for here | 10:28 |
| OmegaForte | makara, What is your issue? | 10:28 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: i'm not sure. trying to learn raid, i heard ubuntu is easier. so far that is false. but I have 1 64mb /boot device and 4 756mb sas raid devices. I'd expect to see the raid device so i can create partitions within it, yet I onl[y see the physical devices. when I try to continue it tells me i don't have a root file system | 10:29 |
| merf | so what is the topic | 10:29 |
| ionite | bazhang: ActionParsnip: which is better for my atom 1.6ghz? XFCE or KDE? | 10:29 |
| bazhang | merf, try /topic | 10:30 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, Raid requires hardware. If you're making an LVS system, you're gonna have to do it from OUTSIDE of the virtual machine, and it will only be visible in Linux. | 10:30 |
| bazhang | ionite, your choice try them or check out screenshots, please dont poll here | 10:30 |
| makara | OmegaForte: i want latest version of natty because the original 11.04 release has a bug that prevents my usb modem from connecting | 10:30 |
| OmegaForte | makara, You done any research about the modem and current support? | 10:30 |
| bazhang | ionite, both will work fine with that system. | 10:31 |
| TBotNik | bazhang: Even have a network restart script but not helping. Sometimes I get 1/2 way there then it screws me again. There are 2 extra false connections [ifupdown (eth2) and ifupdown (wlan0)] showing under "wired" connections in Network Manager, but can not delete them. I think there is another place in gnome or gconf that is holding these and that is where the problem is coming from, these conflict with the real eth2 and wlan0 settings. | 10:31 |
| chenthu | ActionParsnip: it worked thanks... :) | 10:32 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, and you don't make a raid array inside an operating system. You do it from the raid controller's firmware during boot, or with their specific mananger inside a supported operatic system. | 10:32 |
| ionite | bazhang: work fine is one matter. optimal performance is another | 10:32 |
| makara | the modem works fine on an updated 11.04 64bit. i'm using it now to chat through lucid lynx | 10:32 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: ok, maybe i'm confused. are you saying that mdadm is dependent on having a hardwore controller? | 10:32 |
| makara | but when i install fresh, obviously i can't get the updates for 11.04 without a connection | 10:32 |
| makara | 800mb. is this going to end sometime or should I just give up. mobile broadband is extremely expensive in my country | 10:33 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, All raid, except LVS is hardware, home skillet. mdadm controls software raid. Something you won't get performance out of. Raid controllers have specific hardware to make them actually do their job. Doing things over software can slow things down far more than you'd expect. | 10:34 |
| OmegaForte | makara, Find a physical line or some wifi until it's done. | 10:34 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: i may be assuming that the base system can be isntalled to a mdadm device. is this incorrect? | 10:35 |
| makara | yeah. damn what a waste | 10:35 |
| makara | can you comment on jigdo though? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | chenthu: np man | 10:35 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, I wouldn't do it. Software raid doesn't reflect performance, and in some cases, stability. Raid in it's own is to either gain SPEED in the absense of lifetime, or the gain of RELIABILITY in the absense of speed. No point in software raid unless you're just spanning. | 10:36 |
| OmegaForte | makara, You talking to me? If you are, I don't know what that is. | 10:36 |
| TBotNik | All: Anyone else have ideas on how I fix my WiFi? | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: whats up with it? | 10:37 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Can't get my WiFi settings to stick tonight. Box had bad shutdown and now I have crap. Even have a network restart script but not helping. Sometimes I get 1/2 way there then it screws me again.

I think there is another place in gnome or gconf that is holding these and th | 10:37 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: i use hardvare raid in my old file server. i'll agree it's better in most cases, but in my case, the controller is so old if it dies, assuming i could find another (ok, i do have 2 spares...) the softwore to access it is no longer avadiable. software raid would solve that problem | 10:37 |
| spexi | Hi! I have Ati Radeon HD3850 with two dvi ports. Other port has Samsung Syncmaster T240 and other port has ViewSonic VG1921wm. Samsung works fine but ViewSonic has a blank screen. | 10:38 |
| spexi | With having ViewSonic plugged in, Ubuntu 11.04 Live-CD boots over 10 minutes, without the monitor the boot lasts about two minutes or less. | 10:38 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, with a huge trade-off of the file system not being transplantable, re-scalable or performing within normal disk standards, let alone with a controller. | 10:38 |
| spexi | All settings with monitors are freezing, for example changing resolution to Samsung monitor and applying it takes 2-3 minutes and mouse is not moving. | 10:38 |
| yagoo | makara, u can try keeping the update .debs by setting up options in apt.conf-- then copy all those .debs from /var/cache/apt/archives to other machines | 10:38 |
| bahamas | hi. are there any issues with the 64-bit ubuntu? i don't have any issues with it myself. i'm just asking because i'm thinking of installing it to be able to use more RAM | 10:38 |
| spexi | Is the problem with ViewSonic and Ubuntu (there's no problems with the monitor when using Windows), or just having dual screen with these monitors or this display adapter is causing problems? | 10:38 |
| bahamas | also, on the download page the 32 bit version is recommended | 10:38 |
| MrCoffeeTV | bahamas: I have run the 64 bit version on an AMD Sempron, and no issues. | 10:39 |
| MrCoffeeTV | A bit slow, though. | 10:39 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: So what do you think? | 10:39 |
| yagoo | makara, eg: u can use the --download-only option and then backup the .debs from the /var/cache/apt/archives | 10:39 |
| bahamas | MrCoffeeTV: i have an i5 | 10:39 |
| OmegaForte | spexi, Sounds like you're having a UI related issue. I work best on those. Do you use Unity? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; lsmod Thanks | 10:39 |
| MrCoffeeTV | You should be good to go, bahamas | 10:39 |
| spexi | OmegaForte: Yes, I'm using Unity | 10:40 |
| MrCoffeeTV | I mean, that i5 should bat KDE 4.7 around like a toy. | 10:40 |
| spexi | and now with the livecd | 10:40 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: as an aside, are you familiar at all with raidZ on linux? i'm trying to emulate a system i'm considering with 2 raid arrays, and for the second i'm trying to decide between raid 5, raid 6 and raid z | 10:40 |
| spexi | haven't installed yet | 10:40 |
| spexi | just because if these two monitors won't work.. | 10:40 |
| OmegaForte | spexi, It's not the monitor's fault. It's unity's fault. Unity was designed for a single monitor set up and touch screens. | 10:40 |
| bahamas | MrCoffeeTV: if i already have the 32-bit one, can i somehow make the switch or do i need to reformat and install? | 10:40 |
| spexi | ach | 10:40 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, I just do hardware raid man. I'm not going to risk drives on sofware raid. | 10:40 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: I should note the OS most likely won't be ubuntu, nor debian based | 10:41 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, Then you're out of my spectrum in distro's too. | 10:41 |
| MrCoffeeTV | bahamas: You will most likely have to backup and reformat. | 10:41 |
| spexi | Could I switch Unity to old menu style? | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | spexi: log in to Ubuntu Classic | 10:41 |
| bahamas | MrCoffeeTV: i see. thanks for the info | 10:41 |
| Joe6668 | hello | 10:42 |
| MrCoffeeTV | bahamas: You would need to do a clean install, yes. You should be able to back up your home directory, then put that on the new 64 bit version. I know, it's a headache. | 10:42 |
| OmegaForte | spexi, You sure can! Simple as logging out and looking at the bottom of the x 0 monitor, and selecting "Ubuntu Classic" from the menu that holds Unity | 10:42 |
| kyle_ | yagoo: Thanks for your help. but i just didn't see that i was editing a ftab file instead of FSTAB. I have now added to correct file and it's working but without write. But i think i'll leave it for now and try myself again. I think if you have to speak to me again your loose all your hair, or you just won't . Bu thanks anyway... | 10:42 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, What are you having issues with? | 10:42 |
| spexi | OmegaForte: I haven't installed anything yet, just running on livecd. So is there selection with the installation that I can use Ubuntu classic as default | 10:42 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: like I said, i only tried it because every one said it was fast and easy. it's taken me about 4x longer to get to this point as it does to do a complete gentoo install | 10:42 |
| Joe6668 | anyone in here knowledaeable in networking ? | 10:43 |
| bahamas | MrCoffeeTV: fortunately, i don't have much on it because i just installed it. the greater headache is creating a bootable USB and then setting up the wireless. i spent quite some time yesterday making it work | 10:43 |
| bahamas | i hope that solution is cross-platform, so i can replicate it on the 64-bit version | 10:43 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: Got following line in FSTAB file and it works. Just don't have write access to share. | 10:43 |
| OmegaForte | nqs, That's why hardware exists to do this job. No software is faster. | 10:43 |

| nbest | Hello. A lot of times when I try to copy text from a web page I get a lot of things like "\u2019s" inserted in it. Can anyone tell me why this is and what I can do about it? | 10:43 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, Add rw past the password section. | 10:44 |
| OmegaForte | spexi, Yeah, you'll just have to do the same thing I told you. | 10:44 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, And don't forget your 0 0's. | 10:44 |
| spexi | okay | 10:44 |
| bahamas | nbest: are you copying the raw html? | 10:44 |
| spexi | thanks :) | 10:44 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: so password=***,rw | 10:44 |
| yagoo | nbest, where's the past egoing? | 10:44 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, Should work just fine. | 10:44 |
| nqs | OmegaForte: well, thanks for the help | 10:44 |
| bahamas | nbest: that's unicode what you're seeing | 10:44 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: PB at: http://pastebin.com/ZLsDa9MP | 10:44 |
| nbest | now copying from the web page that's displayed bahamas | 10:44 |
| oCean | Joe6668: maybe try ##networking channel | 10:45 |
| yagoo | nbest, and the target window? | 10:45 |
| nbest | yagoo i paste the text into a screen reader | 10:45 |
| yagoo | nbest, what's the application? | 10:45 |
| nbest | readplease | 10:45 |
| nbest | i use it on wine | 10:45 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: nope, i did try that, but when i right click I don't get create folder etc... | 10:45 |
| yagoo | nbest, you honest about that? | 10:45 |
| yagoo | nbest, wine is not supported on any linux channel man.. | 10:45 |
| nbest | bahamas , so if i changed my web page encoding it mifght fix it? | 10:45 |
| bahamas | nbest: if you paste it anywhere else, do you still see those characters? | 10:45 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, Okay, then it seems like it's a permissions issue. Lemme look up cifs. | 10:45 |
| nbest | i will check to see if i see it elsewhere... one sec.. | 10:46 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: thanks | 10:46 |
| spexi | How can I list all network computers in command line? I have one Ubuntu machine but it's not shown on the network window, there's only Windows network. I can still connect to that computer with IP address. | 10:47 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, Does this apply to you? http://lists.samba.org/archive/linux-cifs-client/2006-November/001590.html | 10:47 |
| nbest | oh, pasting it in gedit i don't get them there | 10:47 |
| nbest | so i guess it's a wine issue | 10:47 |
| yagoo | spexi, smbclient -L <ip>/host | 10:47 |
| spexi | It would be nice just connect to that computer by name | 10:47 |
| spexi | ok thanks | 10:47 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Hope you understand that PB is data from current liveCD boot, not from my HDD boot, where the problem is. Confused don't be, can't get on if wlan0 is down and it auto configs and comes up on liveCD. | 10:48 |
| Dori922 | hey bro's | 10:48 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: reading it now | 10:48 |
| yagoo | spexi, apt-cache search samba (there's smbtree and smbclient) | 10:48 |
| yagoo | spexi, there's even gui ones .. | 10:48 |
| nbest | well thanks anyway yagoo and bahamas | 10:48 |
| TBotNik | Dori922: Hey back | 10:48 |
| bahamas | nbest: yw | 10:48 |
| cypha | how can I run synaptic as root in one line? | 10:48 |
| spexi | Ok | 10:49 |
| dr_willis | cypha, gksudo synaptic | 10:49 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Well, I'm off to get some rest. | 10:49 |
| cypha | so I can create a menu entry for it | 10:49 |
| MrCoffeeTV | Got a good install done tonight, so now have the use of two computers. Nice. Take care. | 10:49 |
| Dori922 | i want to set up ubuntu so it automatically enter a cmd line command at each log in, what do i need to do to do this? :) just point me in the right direction | 10:49 |
| cypha | dr_willis: you are the man | 10:49 |
| TBotNik | cypha: sure | 10:49 |
| Dori922 | ive no gui btw | 10:49 |
| dr_willis | cypha, linux/ubuntu fundamentals. | 10:49 |
| yagoo | spexi, what do u mean your ubuntu machine not being shown on the network window? (trying to use nmbd ?) | 10:49 |
| dr_willis | Dori922, for a user they have their own .bashrc and .profile | 10:50 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: my password in ubuntu and windows are the same. The windows PC is a Windows 2008 R2 Server (Domain) | 10:50 |
| dr_willis | Dori922, for sysem wide stuff befor any logins. heres /etc/rc.local | 10:50 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, It's still a cifs share. | 10:50 |
| spexi | yagoo: When navigating to Places-Network | 10:50 |
| spexi | that computer is not listed there | 10:50 |
| Dori922 | dr_willis: i love you |<-----------------------------this-------------------------------->| much :) | 10:50 |
| cypha | dr_willis: well, how about modifying the libnotify files? | 10:51 |
| spexi | That computer has this irssi which I'm using right now, so I can connect to that computer with IP, no probs | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: how is the installed OS different? | 10:51 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte:OK, so what do i need to add, or is it listed on the url? | 10:51 |
| cypha | where are those found so I can alter things? | 10:51 |
| TBotNik | Dori922: Write a small script to call "terminal" and go to "System" + "Preferences" + "Startup Applications" and add your script there. | 10:51 |
| yagoo | spexi, u can use the nmbd daemon (this is part of the samba package) | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | spexi, i havce constant issues with shares/machines not gettting seen . windows, linux, and so on. I just basically enter the actual server up/share name and they come right up. then i bookmark them | 10:51 |
| spexi | just wondering that should it be listed there | 10:51 |
| yagoo | spexi, use swat.. it's easier to set things up.. (apt-get install swat) | 10:51 |
| spexi | Okay | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: there is no lshw output there dude | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | spexi, so in the file mnager you can enter an address. (hit ctrl-l) enter.. smb://ip.of.the.server/sharename | 10:51 |
| dr_willis | same thing can work in windows. | 10:51 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, I don't know. I just googled your issue, and came to this. It looks like adding noperm to the args section of the mount would solve your issues...But I don't know. | 10:52 |
| spexi | yeah | 10:52 |
| yagoo | spexi, then url:localhost:601 if i'm correct or its another port (u use firefox) | 10:52 |
| spexi | have to try those things | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_willis: even with the 'smb:' prefix? | 10:52 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, All of my samba stuff is RW/usr out of the box. | 10:52 |
| yagoo | spexi, it's port 901.. | 10:52 |
| dr_willis | theres just somthing very weird going on with share browsing.. seems to get worse with each new release of windows/samba. My "Boxee' box sees EVERYTHING.. the windows pcs tend to see each other.. got one tha tonly sees itself... | 10:52 |
| endgamer | Hi folks <waves> | 10:53 |
| spexi | yagoo, ok thanks | 10:53 |
| Dori922 | thanks TBotNik :P | 10:53 |
| dr_willis | for windows you dont use the smb: you just use their \\ or // thangs | 10:53 |
| yagoo | spexi, so once swat is started.. u can do http://localhost:901 .. it not then http://127.0.0.1:901 | 10:53 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: top man. It's done | 10:53 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Exact same os, just different config settings and I re-edit all 5 files and they are all correct. It is the thing, that I can not find that is holding those 2 extra false "wired" connects that is beating me, I know it. | 10:53 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: could remove network manager and install wicd | 10:53 |
| endgamer | I've got an odd issue in Lucid if anyone can help...just installed Fluxbox but when I go to switch sessions I find I have no sessions list at login :) Anything that might cause that to not display? | 10:53 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, Did it solve your issue? | 10:53 |
| kyle_ | OmegaForte: If my ubuntu password was not the same as windows, Would it not work or something?? --- Yes it seems to be working fine.. | 10:54 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, you may need to restrt the gdm service. "sudo service gdm restart" | 10:54 |
| OmegaForte | kyle_, That's not the issue...The issue would be that the unix/linux permissions are not compatable with NTFS/CIFS permissions. | 10:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kyle_: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER set the sambe password and you can authenticate as that user | 10:54 |
| endgamer | dr_willis, I've actually restarted the whole system and it doesn't appear... | 10:54 |
| yagoo | lol | 10:55 |
| yagoo | none of u have experience logging in to a Windows Domain from linux.. | 10:55 |
| yagoo | his machine is a Windows Domain computer he already said so much earlier.. | 10:55 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, see if theres one in /usr/share/xsessions, you could also try a 'sudo updatedb' 'locate fluxbox.desktop' Could be the fb packager dident include one. | 10:56 |
| OmegaForte | So? | 10:56 |
| endgamer | dr_willis Ah, thankyou...I take it the sessions menu will only appear if there are other options set up then? | 10:56 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, yep. gdm looks in that location and perhaps a few others for the sessiopns to show. | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | dr_willis: any idea to colortail -f snort logs instead of syslog1.log? | 10:57 |
| endgamer | dr_willis, will check that out, cheers | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | easy to make your own. I just noticed I got a fluxbox.desktop session here for KDM. even tho i dont have flxbox installed. | 10:57 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, here it is.... pastebinit /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/fluxbox.desktop | 10:58 |
| dr_willis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/659207/ | 10:58 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Under the liveCD boot there is only the "Auto eth0" under "Wired" and "Wireless" is showing only the current active "Auto <myssid>" profile. When the machine boots under HDD the wired NIC does not come up as eth0 but as eth2 and sometime the "Auto eth2" shows under the "Wired" tab and sometime it does not, but always the Network Manager panel pop-up shows both Wired and Wireless as "not managed". | 10:58 |
| endgamer | dr_willis , hmm...seems there's a fluxbox.desktop in xsessions, and a KDE one... | 10:59 |
| chenthu | has anyone ever successfully customized a login screen? cause i have been try for the past 48 hrs but in vain... :) | 11:00 |
| dr_willis | chenthu, you can change the gdm walpaper and font, and a few other slight tweaks.. but thats about it. | 11:00 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: That is why I went to the nm-system-settings.conf file and change the setting to "true". Wlan0 came up for a while, and when I kept working on it to get it right, it went down and never came back up. Nothing wrong with the card, service, etc. Running on that now via liveCD, so all in the settings. | 11:00 |
| usalabs | hi everyone, seeing that I have an account on the ubuntu forum,but still not being able to post, there,,,, I have a real problem after installing security updates which included, samba and winbind, and now I can't access any work groups on my local network, where as I have always done so before the updates | 11:01 |
| chenthu | dr_willis: hmmm....but i heared linux is completely customizable ?...cant customize login screen? | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | chenthu, You can customize it by replaceing it.. if you wanted to.. as i just said theres SOME things you can change on it.. but gdm2 is not as themeable as the old gdm.. lookit here.... | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | http://pastebin.com/FNvnX2ip | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | chenthu: I know how to change the wallpaper and the colour of the login box | 11:02 |
| dr_willis | tips on tewaking GDM look (above) | 11:02 |
| endgamer | dr_willis is there somewhere the session might be forced to gdm? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: not sure then. Could read through: dmesg | tail to see what's going on | 11:03 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, the .dmrc defines what session to use by default. | 11:03 |
| chenthu | ActionParsnip: thank you | 11:03 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: I sure want a word with the designers of NetworkManager and the whole networking suite. the "Network Connections" does not have a way to reset, force, whatever on any connection and not being able to delete these 2 false one, is driving me crazy. Also "Network Tools" is not Network Tools but just Network Monitor and there is no tools to it, just check what your status is. | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | chenthu: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 | 11:03 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Yeah but will have to tail on the syslog from HDD, right? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: could log a bug | 11:04 |
| chenthu | dr_willis and ActionParsnip : thank you so much .... :) | 11:04 |
| cypha | how can i start nautilus in the current directory from terminal? | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | chenthu, in the next release gdm is gone anyway. :) LightDM is replaceing it. | 11:04 |
| usalabs | nautilus does not show any workgroups, where as, before the security updates I was able to access all the shares on my network | 11:04 |
| jrib | cypha: nautilus . | 11:04 |
| yagoo | chenthu, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-10223.html | 11:04 |
| dr_willis | cypha, type 'nautilus' | 11:04 |
| yagoo | that's a little old sorry | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: technically, yes. look in /va/log or boot to the installed OS and run the comamnd I gave | 11:04 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Let check on that BRB | 11:04 |
| Morgz | cypha - mine has a script from ubuntu tweak that does that | 11:04 |
| cypha | nautlius . did it | 11:05 |
| yagoo | chenthu, it's outdated that site.. sorry.. but the greeter is customizable | 11:05 |
| cypha | thanks jrib | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: using wicd will sidestep network managers stuff as it's a different app | 11:05 |
| endgamer | dr_willis Looks like I'll have to manually force it...it's an oldish system, fairly heavily hacked about, not surprised if I've knackered that up at some point :) Thanks for your help! | 11:05 |
| raven | how to remote view an application running opengl rendering? | 11:05 |
| dr_willis | endgamer, if theres a custome session item. that reads from the users .xinitrc or .xsession i recall. | 11:05 |
| Viking667 | I'm trying to get the Oracle java plugin to work with Google's Chrome browser, but I'm striking some trouble. What should I actually be doing? Currently Chrome (and any other Mozilla-like browser) are using the OpenJDK IcedTea plugin. | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: ssh -X username@server openssh-server enables X forwarding by default. Assuming you have an X server on teh client (default in Ubuntu destops) the app will show in the client system if you run any graphical app. Not tried 3D stuff though. Have a try | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: I always use this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 11:07 |
| chenthu | dr_willis: so light DM would be customizable?... i hope it would... | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: installs and java just works | 11:07 |
| endgamer | dr_willis Interesting...switched "default" in the .dmrc to "Fluxbox.desktop" and now I'm getting a session menu :D | 11:07 |
| Viking667 | ooo. I wasn't aware of that repo. Thank you. | 11:08 |
| chenthu | yagoo: thank you how?..... | 11:08 |
| raven | ActionParsnip, this command only gives me normal ssh prompt, no graphics | 11:08 |
| Jurgentje | Hi... I'm having troubles with LPROF (for icc profiles) ... can't find how to load the IT8 target | 11:08 |
| AegisX | Hi guys. I'm finding my laptop's touchpad is way too sensitive on Ubuntu. It's almost as if the heat from my hands moves the mouse randomly, making it click here and there. Do you know of a way to mitigate this? | 11:08 |
| usalabs | anyone got any ideas on how I can get nautilus to show the workgroups after the recent security updates of Lucid LTS? | 11:08 |
| bullgard4_ | AegisX: Please describe the heat effect more carefully. | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: yes, run a graphical app | 11:10 |
| yagoo | chentu, it may be in the menu if not.. try "apropos gdmsetup" or apt-cache search greeter .. install the package and look in menu (i believe it would be in system/administration section) | 11:10 |
| nbest | can anyone recommend a good macro program for ubuntu? | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: from the terminal | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nbest: macro in what way? | 11:10 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: ah huh. How does that modify the /etc/alternatives/mozilla-libjava.so plugin? | 11:10 |
| bullgard4_ | usalabs: What workgroups? | 11:10 |
| yagoo | nbest, for accessibility? /firefox? | 11:10 |
| AegisX | bullgard4_: So when I type, my palm hovers over the touchpad. I find that as I type, every now and then the mouse will have moved, or clicked somewhere inadvertently (tap to click). | 11:10 |
| usalabs | bullgard4_ the internal network workgroup | 11:11 |
| nbest | i want a script to send the keystrokes "ctrl-c" then switch to another app then paste the text in | 11:11 |
| nbest | starting in firefox | 11:11 |
| AegisX | bullgard4_: However, I'm fairly certain that there is no (or at least, minimal) contact between my palm and touchpad. | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: not sure, let me search | 11:11 |
| Tias____ | Hallo | 11:11 |
| Tias____ | Wie gehts? | 11:11 |
| AegisX | bullgard4_: I have the "disable touchpad when typing" feature enabled under mouse settings, but it doesn't seem to help too much. | 11:12 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: PB at: http://pastebin.com/80Nxk8T4 Looks like the dhclient for wlan0 is not reading the default SSID profile. Giving error: Aug 5 03:32:25 tc-server ddclient[1900]: WARNING: file /etc/ddclient.conf, line 8: Invalid Value for keyword 'login' = '' | 11:12 |

| raven | ActionParsnip, ok sry. i am trying to run xbmc on one machine (performance) and need to display that on another (slower) machine. softwarerendering also gives me only a black window via vnc and ssh -X gives me opengl missing error | 11:12 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Looking at that ddclient file now! | 11:12 |
| Viking667 | ... and where does that point to on your system? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: looks like a good place to hunt | 11:13 |
| Viking667 | Because on my system, it still points to the openjdk plugin | 11:13 |
| nbest | i was using autohotkey in windows and am looking for something similar on ubuntu.. i've tried a couple that were recommended from a search but non seem to work very well | 11:13 |

| usalabs | I click Places -> Network and it shows the folder for 'Windows Network', I've always been able to open that and it shows all the computers on the "home" workgroup, but since the recent security updates, which included, samba and winbind, nautilus doesn't show the "home" workgroup anymore | 11:14 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: if you want an XBMC remote control, enable the web UI | 11:14 |
| yagoo | nbest a hot key? depends what u mean a hotkey.. hotkey to what? | 11:14 |
| raven | ActionParsnip, no remote control | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: if you have an Android phone, there is an app made by team xbmc to control it like a DVD menu controller too :) | 11:15 |
| nankura | hey guys, is it safe to add yourself the user to every group on the system, i installed the SLiM login manager on xubuntu, and alot of features dont work because you need to be in the usergroup, gdm doesnt need the groups | 11:15 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 11:15 |
| bullgard4_ | AegisX: This is no heat effect but rather a capacitive effect. I think in those moments your touchpad is not switched off. Rather, your touchpad is configured for gestures. You either manage to get switched off your touchpad in those moments, or switch off Touchpad gestures. | 11:15 |
| raven | ActionParsnip, i need the (graphics-)computing on a machine and displaying on another | 11:15 |
| dr_willis | nbest, just saw this at a blog site ---> http://maketecheasier.com/make-autokey-works-in-ubuntu-natty/2011/06/26 | 11:15 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: not sure about that | 11:15 |
| nbest | yahoo a hot key that will send a series of keystrokes and/or mouseclicks that I want it to send | 11:15 |
| nbest | *yagoo | 11:15 |
| AegisX | bullgard4_: I see... how do I correct this? | 11:15 |
| yagoo | nbest, i believe there's at least a few that can do that.. | 11:16 |
| nbest | hmm, that looks interesting dr_willis i'll check that site | 11:16 |
| dr_willis | !info autokey | 11:16 |
| ubottu | autokey (source: autokey): dummy transitional package for autokey-qt. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.71.2-1 (natty), package size 3 kB, installed size 60 kB | 11:16 |
| nbest | yahoo well the couple i've tried didn't use hotkeys, but you had to type comands in terminal | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: the java ppa I gave will no doubt be updated more frequently than the official ones too :) | 11:17 |
| nbest | that's not convenient at all | 11:17 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: PB of file at: http://pastebin.com/kvUhKePL I added the '' behind login= as they were missing. Hope that is all it is. Course still want like crap to delete those 2 other false connects. | 11:17 |
| nbest | yes, i tried autokey but i coudln't get it to work | 11:17 |
| dr_willis | nbest, that url mentions its has issues. and gives some fixsa | 11:17 |
| nbest | i'm very noobish though on ubuntu, i was hoping there was a simple easy to use one | 11:18 |
| nbest | :P | 11:18 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: I still had to manually symlink the plugin into /etc/alternatives | 11:18 |

| Viking667 | Isn't there an update-alternatives command that is supposed to handle that? | 11:18 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: You think I'm good now? | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | nbest: http://www.rrfx.net/2009/07/autokey-keyboard-macros-for-linux.html has a GUI it seems, you don't need the ppa | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: try it is all I can advise | 11:19 |
| bullgard4_ | usalabs: Google does not find "internal network workgroup". What do you mean? | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: weird, as long as it's working | 11:19 |
| TBotNik | K | 11:19 |
| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: thanks for that, by the way. I'm outta here a happy boy. | 11:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: :D | 11:19 |
| TBotNik | BRB reboot underway | 11:19 |
| AegisX | bullgard4_: Haha, I can't read German, so I'll try a translator. Thanks for the help though, at least I know what to look for. | 11:19 |
| nbest | ActionParsnip , yagoo, i guess i'll keep trying with autokey, perhaps i'll be able to figure it out | 11:20 |
| nbest | thanks | 11:20 |
| usalabs | bullgard4_ the internal network is 192.168.0.0/24 all the computer on my network used to be shown in nautilusm but now, after the updates I can't access any of the shared folders on the network | 11:21 |
| AdvoWork | any idea where ubuntu would keep information(such as A records, for all domains on its server)? | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | nbest: there may be other solutions | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: if you run: route it may show them | 11:22 |
| bullgard4_ | usalabs: Did you do file sharing via smb or nfs? | 11:22 |
| usalabs | smb | 11:22 |
| === vlt is now known as vlt_phone | ||
| bullgard4_ | usalabs: I am not up-to-date with present SMB. I cannot help you finding the shared files. | 11:23 |
| nbest | ActionParsnip, yea, usually more than one way to do something on a computer, i was really asking if any of you guys had from your own personal experience used something like that and had good results | 11:23 |
| nbest | seriously, macros are so darn useful, once you've gotten used to them you'll never want to be without them again | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nbest: gotcha, not something I do personally. I do some basic scripting in bash to make life easier but as for typing in GUIs with Macros it's not something I do | 11:24 |
| usalabs | ok, thanks, I think I'll have to reformat the pc, and re-install ubuntu Lucid LTS and NOT do any updates, I'll stick to what someone said "if it works, then leave it alone" | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | usalabs: Lucid is LTS at the same time as Natty on the desktop | 11:25 |
| bullgard4_ | usalabs: My productive system is also using Lucid LTS. | 11:26 |
| jrib | usalabs: you want to make sure you install security updates | 11:26 |
| yagoo | nbest, did u find any with apt-cache searchv? | 11:26 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, would there not be a config file for all domainnames vs their NS/A records etc? | 11:26 |
| nbest | ActionParsnip , i gather bash is some kind of programing language, which is fine.. but the good thing about autohotkey.. is it is a system wide macro.. so you dont' have to learn a different language for every different context.. learn it once and you can use it on anything.. but anyway, that's neither here nor there since i'm on ubuntu now hehe | 11:26 |
| usalabs | I did, and it was theose updates that has stopped my from access all my ahred folders across the network | 11:26 |
| nbest | yea, that's where i got autokey from yagoo | 11:26 |
| usalabs | shared* | 11:26 |
| nbest | i dl it but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work | 11:26 |
| nbest | probably more my unfamilurarity with ubuntu than the application itself | 11:27 |
| bullgard4_ | !prefix | usalabs | 11:27 |
| ubottu | usalabs: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 11:27 |
| yagoo | nbest, i spotted a few here->xdotool, xmacro, keylauncher -- and this project looks promising https://github.com/polyethene/IronAHK#readme | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: not sure personally | 11:28 |
| yagoo | nbest, there are more tools but takes more advanced knowledge with things like xbindkeys.. | 11:28 |
| nbest | yagoo, , yea ironahk is the first one i went for, but it's a project that's been dead for years now | 11:28 |
| nbest | and i couldnt' get xmacro to work either hehe | 11:29 |
| yagoo | nbest, the last datestamp is apr 7 2011.. so i'm not sure if its entirely dead.. | 11:29 |
| yagoo | actually june 2011.. | 11:29 |
| usalabs | jrib I did install the most recent security updates, and it's those updates that has stopped me from accessing the shared folders across the network, before I did those updates, I was always able to access the network shared folders | 11:29 |
| jrib | usalabs: then it's probably worth it to determine the offending package | 11:29 |
| dr_willis | nbest, i had to change autokey to use the 'X-record' interface for it t work properly here. | 11:30 |
| nbest | yagoo the last datestamp for a forum comment? | 11:30 |
| usalabs | jrib the updates included samba and winbind | 11:30 |
| yagoo | the site i gave has file directory.. | 11:30 |
| jrib | usalabs: so if you roll those back does the problem go away...? | 11:30 |
| nbest | dr_willis i'm sure it works.. i was more asking on which macro would be easy to use for ubuntu noob | 11:30 |
| usalabs | jrib how do I do a forced downgrade? | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | nbest, depends on how hes using the macros I guess.. | 11:31 |
| jrib | usalabs: sudo apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION | 11:31 |
| usalabs | jrib how do I know what the previous version was? | 11:31 |
| jrib | usalabs: apt-cache policy PACKAGE will show you the versions available | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | usalabs, you have tried just entering the share server name/path directly in the file manager? | 11:32 |
| yagoo | nbest, let me know about the other tools xdotool,xmacro,keylauncher.. | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | smb://server.ip.num.ber/sharename | 11:32 |
| elacheche_anis | hello everybody :D I have a question :D | 11:32 |
| yagoo | nbest, problem with linux is that doing this stuff is possible for many years but it's ugly... | 11:32 |
| elacheche_anis | Why the iso 64b edition called amd64, and can this edition work on an intel cpu(centrino or higher) | 11:33 |
| usalabs | dr_willis yes, I tried IP address and host name, and the file manager just showed 'couldnot find smb:///hostname' or 'couldnot find smb:///IP' | 11:33 |
| AdvoWork | ActionParsnip, you probably don't want to know, but I found them in /var/cache/bind/db.**domainname.*** | 11:33 |
| yagoo | elacheche_anis, amd64 represents 64bit that works on non-itanium intel as well. (reason is because amd was first company to come out with the 64bit) | 11:34 |
| usalabs | dr_willis but from terminal, using smbclient -L hostname I see a list of shares | 11:34 |
| elacheche_anis | ok thank you very much yagoo | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | usalabs, i think you got to many / in the url --> (edample on m lan) --> smb://nas/PEGSBOOK/ | 11:35 |
| yagoo | elacheche_anis, np | 11:35 |
| yagoo | !amd64 | 11:35 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 11:35 |
| yagoo | :) | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | AdvoWork: freaky, mental note | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | usalabs, browsing is totally broken here.. but i can access them all via directly entering the info. | 11:35 |
| nbest | yagoo, i've not tried xdotool, keylauncher.... those 2 yet.. idk, i think i'll try to get some more practice at ubuntu and maybe try xmacro again because it seems to be popular | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | usalabs, but my Boxee box, thats running linux, can see them.. :() | 11:35 |
| shomon | hi, what would you recommend for a ubuntu 10.10 laptop that freezes on the login screen? | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | shomon, whats your video chipset? | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: memory test is a good start | 11:36 |
| yagoo | shomon, what laptop model is it? | 11:36 |
| mega1 | how do i upgrade unbuntu10.04 to 11 from cd | 11:36 |
| yagoo | shomon, there's a list of popular supported laptop models on ubuntu | 11:36 |
| yagoo | !laptop | 11:36 |
| ubottu | Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 11:36 |
| usalabs | dr_willis in the file manager I press CTRL L to open a location text box and in it I see smb:/// even removing one / I still get that same error | 11:36 |
| shomon | hardware issue? I can go into the terminals... how do I run a memory test? it's a g62, hp | 11:36 |
| nbest | yagoo, thanks again for all your suggestions | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: you'll need to upgrade to maverick first | 11:36 |
| yagoo | nbest, np.. | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: hold shift at boot, select the memtest from the menu you see | 11:37 |
| mega1 | how do i do that | 11:37 |
| === newton is now known as Guest9600 | ||
| yagoo | nbest, i dunno wtf is wrong with developers i bet a lot of people would like this fully implemented and more graphic friendly | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: use the maverick alternate ISO or CD or use the internet | 11:37 |
| shomon | ok thanks ActionParsnip | 11:37 |
| dr_willis | usalabs, weird.. i enter in nautilus smb://nas/PEGSBOOK/ and it works. still cant browse to it. | 11:38 |
| nbest | yagoo, lol, yea, i was getting pretty frustrated trying to dl all these progs and not being able to get any to work , but you still gotta love ubuntu.. free, and secure , a great philosophy | 11:38 |
| shomon | dr_willis, actually I had problems first that it wouldn't boot and did the blank screen with pointer freeze, but after going into grub and turning on nomodeset it now boots to frozen login :D | 11:38 |
| N1Nja | Hello? | 11:38 |
| shomon | I wonder if all that relates to video chipset... | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | shomon: if you have bad RAM try removing a stcik (after powering OFF) and retesting. This will help diagnose the bad stick | 11:38 |
| shomon | hi N1Nja | 11:38 |
| dr_willis | Hmm. Now my Boxee is showing up on the shares listing.. thats new | 11:38 |
| Logan_ | !ask | N1Nja | 11:39 |
| ubottu | N1Nja: 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. :-) | 11:39 |
| shomon | ok | 11:39 |
| usalabs | dr_willis I'll try the previous version of samba and winbind and see what happens | 11:39 |
| Anne_ | good day | 11:39 |
| N1Nja | I was actually going to aak if I could help out | 11:39 |
| yagoo | shomon, what does it say in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 11:39 |
| felco | hello guys | 11:40 |
| yagoo | shomon, does it say Driver "vesa"? | 11:40 |
| Anne_ | I need some help re setting a proxy under xfce | 11:40 |
| shomon | yagoo, actually I've just given it to a friend to look at, but I'll check. And would it help to delete xorg.conf? | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | hi felco | 11:40 |
| Anne_ | Anyone here who is willing/able to help? | 11:40 |
| N1Nja | Ok | 11:40 |
| yagoo | shomon, change the line that says Driver "vesa" to Driver "intel" | 11:40 |
| felco | I got a 9.04 cd here, for what version I should update until got a stable one? | 11:40 |
| shomon | okay, will do. and I'll come here again and report on that :) | 11:40 |
| yagoo | shomon, i read an old post.. seems to be still an issue (this is not ubuntu's fault-- but would occur with any other linux distro as it seems) | 11:41 |
| N1Nja | Anne_: Whats the problem | 11:41 |
| eemoraniii_ | running ubuntu 10.4.3, want to upgrade to 11.04, created the usb drive installer, starts to install, then nothing happens, help please | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: in ~/.bashrc add: export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" | 11:41 |
| shomon | thanks yagoo, ActionParsnip and dr_willis | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: also add: export ftp_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1575 | 11:42 |
| N1Nja | Holy crap | 11:42 |
| yagoo | shomon, this is an old post.. but may not be 100%.. i believe if u see "vesa" -- then change that to "intel" then restart X ( http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+intel+arrandale+intel+graphics+media+accelerator+hd+with+ubuntu+9.10 ) | 11:42 |
| Anne_ | yes, I did that | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: you may nee dto set the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf | 11:42 |
| Anne_ | @ActionParsnip, I did that | 11:42 |
| Anne_ | apt.conf I did not | 11:42 |
| yagoo | shomon, first.. do u have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that exists? | 11:42 |
| Anne_ | hm, will try | 11:42 |
| oCean | felco: you have a cd or a current installation of 9.04? Current is 11.04, but 10.04 is LTS release (long term support) | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: the layout is different for apt.conf | 11:42 |
| Bernhard | is it possible to make an image from my 74 GB system disk and put in on an 300 GB harddisk so that it can boot from that 300 GB ??? | 11:42 |
| yagoo | shomon, relaying this info to your friend sounds like hard communication .. | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Bernhard: sure, use partimage | 11:43 |
| Anne_ | @ActionParsnip: What kind of difference? What do I have to type in? | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Bernhard: you may have to use liveCD and reinstate grub but it should be ok | 11:43 |
| shomon | yagoo, I'll get it back in a couple of hours :) | 11:43 |
| mega1 | is there a way to get ubuntu to check for new hardware | 11:44 |
| yagoo | shomon, lol.. (if the file doesn't exist u can make one with X -config) | 11:44 |

| Anne_ | thanks all, will try | 11:44 |
| dr_willis | sacarlson, going from a ubuntu box to a ubuntu-box? | 11:44 |
| sacarlson | dr_willis: yes ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 11.X | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: post #5 here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/problems-with-apt-get-synaptic-and-proxy-454026/ | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Anne_: instead of asking, try researching a little | 11:45 |
| felco | kinda stuck with this version, because I dont have a media to burn 10.04 lts haha | 11:45 |
| oCean | felco: upgrading is one way to go, but since you're install is new, why not download latest 11.04 and install | 11:45 |
| N1Nja | FUCK UBUNTU IM GETTING A MAC | 11:45 |
| yagoo | shomon, actually (X -configure) | 11:46 |
| shomon | excellent, thanks yagoo | 11:46 |
| oCean | N1Nja: don't use that language here | 11:46 |

| felco | oCean: the upgrade system just got 9.10 dont know why | 11:46 |
| N1Nja | Well ubuntu stinks now | 11:46 |
| yagoo | shomon, (/etc/init.d/gdm stop << stops X .. then u can try X -configure to create new config ..) .. good luck.. | 11:46 |
| dr_willis | sacarlson, i tend to just do a 'ssh-keygen' then a 'ssh-copy-id remoteboxip' | 11:46 |
| bazhang | N1Nja, wrong channel for that | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | N1Nja: then change, you don't need to broadcast | 11:46 |
| sacarlson | dr_willis: that ssh-copy-id seems to have a problem maybe that I don't listen on port 22 | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | sacarlson, just dont ask me how to setup putty or my android phone to use the same keys. :) still working on that. | 11:47 |
| heizmann | Hi, everybody. A question concerning to the using of autotools, need some help. Then, I don't understand how include in a tarball packaging a subdir in the $HOME repository, e.g. "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.dat" :-/ possible, or not? What's the solution? | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | sacarlson, it may need some options i guess | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | Usage: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine | 11:47 |
| dr_willis | Not sure how to put a port in that... user@machine:portnumber perhaps? | 11:48 |

| N1Nja | !hehe | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: simples | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hi BluesKaj | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | hey ActionParsnip | 12:02 |
| Ellipsis753 | Hey hardware says I should ask here, I just installed this motherboard http://goo.gl/D14Yf and I can't seem to find any driver for it, anyone know where I should ask or where I can get some? | 12:02 |
| heizmann | A technical question 'bout the creation of tarball packages, need some help. Here the facts: I want (using autotools) create a folder in the $HOME var environment, e.g. "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.def". I don't understand how to, because autotools don't know the $HOME var... :) what's the solution? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Ellipsis753: drivers for what part of the board? | 12:03 |
| bazhang | Ellipsis753, hardware in ##hardware as I said | 12:03 |
| dr_willis | Ellipsis753, normally its a 'chipset' you need a driver for. Not the whole MB. | 12:03 |
| mega1 | i will have to burn it | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: why? | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: sure the user wants ubuntu drivers for his/her hardware? | 12:04 |
| mega1 | no other way of getting it to the computer | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: so there is no web connection to the server? | 12:04 |
| chenthu | can some one tell me how to delete a group of file of a particular file type from a system directory | 12:04 |
| bazhang | ActionParsnip, never heard of motherboard drivers | 12:04 |
| kki313 | hey, I'm looking for an official ARM-Repository for Ubuntu, is there any? I'm on Freescale i.MX515 | 12:04 |
| mega1 | network card broken | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bazhang: that's why I'm clearing up what part is required and we can progress ;) | 12:04 |
| bazhang | kki313, try #ubuntu-arm | 12:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: so what use is a server with zero network connectivity? | 12:05 |
| mega1 | replaced but it wont go on line | 12:05 |
| kki313 | @bazhang: Thanks! | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: ahhh makes sense | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chenthu: are they in the same folder? | 12:05 |
| raven | xbmc causes opengl error with Radeon Mobility X700 XL - any solution? | 12:05 |
| chenthu | sudo rm *.png -----------? doe this work in deleting all the png files in the particular directory ? | 12:05 |
| Anne_ | ActionParsnip: I did all the entries in all the files, still no luck | 12:06 |
| chenthu | ActionParsnip: yeah they are in the same folder | 12:06 |
| Anne_ | apt-get will not connect to canonical :( | 12:06 |
| chenthu | ActionParsnip: i have a bunch of wall papers which i moved to /usr/share/backgrounds and i just wanna take out the .png files from them i also have jpg files there | 12:06 |
| szal | Anne_: exact error msg, please | 12:06 |
| Anne_ | szal: none | 12:07 |
| heizmann | Nobody for a short explanation, to solve my pb? :) | 12:07 |
| Anne_ | I just wait on 0% | 12:07 |
| szal | Anne_: then wait until it either progresses or times out | 12:08 |
| ActionParsnip | chenthu: then you can run: sudo rm /usr/share/backgrounds/*.png will remove the png files | 12:08 |
| niidst | hello! i have a script in /opt/perks/perks.rb a wanna know how can i do for enter bash command "perks" run the /opt/perks/perks.rb for ANY user, root/nonpriv user. | 12:08 |
| Anne_ | szal: ok | 12:08 |
| isbric | niidst: read up on global enviroments | 12:09 |
| Ellipsis753 | Ok that was filly strong chatroom but still OK I'll look up the chipset thanks | 12:09 |
| niidst | isbric: sorry? | 12:09 |
| scirvir | Hello I'm looking for a way to adjust programs sounds. I find the one that comes with natty kinda crap. | 12:09 |
| chenthu | ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... :) | 12:09 |
| Pici | niidst: drop a symlink to that into /usr/bin/ | 12:09 |
| mega1 | i installed new newwork card and ubuntu did not pickit up | 12:10 |
| isbric | niidst: your eviroment will tell your shell where to look for binarys, try echo $PATH | 12:10 |
| niidst | Pici: i'm a ruby developer, i don't know about linux :S can you give me some tutorial? or anything? | 12:10 |
| niidst | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:~./bin | 12:10 |
| Pici | niidst: I can give you a command: sudo ln -s /opt/perks/perks.rb /usr/bin/perks | 12:11 |
| isbric | niidst: tha variable hols paths to yor binarys, and as Pici said, make a link to your file in there or add your path to that variable. | 12:11 |
| tyler_d | I'm trying to get unity back(ubuntu 11.04) when I do unity --reset I get a seg fault, I went one step further and tried simply `compiz` with the same result.. hep please? | 12:11 |
| mega1 | if i take out the hd put in new one and install ubuntu it will see it | 12:12 |
| heizmann | Can someone tell me what channel I can ask my question? :-/ Rappel : créer un répertoire de configuration dans le répertoire home, comme "/home/$USER/.myprog/myfile.def" (I'm using autotools) | 12:12 |
| S0S | Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'tor' has no installation candidate <------------------------- I can't install tor, any ideas? | 12:12 |
| krazykrivda | if i do: foo="eval cp ~/x ~/y;cp ~/x ~/y1;cp ~/x ~/y2;";$foo ... i get exactly what I want. however I need to try to accomplish the same thing by changing the variable 'foo' to something else so i can execute the 'cp' commands byt doing this: cpp $foo ... is this possible? | 12:12 |
| Pici | !tor | S0S | 12:12 |
| ubottu | S0S: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 12:12 |
| niidst | Pici && isbric: thanks! | 12:12 |
| Ellipsis753 | bazhang, the thing Is you say go to hardware hardware says go here. | 12:12 |
| heizmann | Can someone tell me what channel I can ask my question? :-/ Reminder: create a configuration directory in the home directory as "/ home / $ USER / .myprog / myfile.def" (using autotools) | 12:12 |
| mega1 | so i was thinking of upgrading to see if that will work | 12:12 |
| Ryan__ | SOS, you might try adding the repositories correctly. I don't have them right here for Unity, but the code is: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nameofprogramppa | 12:13 |
| mega1 | do you think upgrading will work | 12:14 |
| Ryan__ | In Google or any other search engine, you might search: unity repository ubuntu 11.04 | 12:14 |
| Pici | Ryan__: What are you talking about? Unity is in the default Ubuntu repos. | 12:14 |
| tyler_d | krazykrivda: I don't see why can't? just be sure you do cp "$foo" <<destination>> | 12:15 |
| Ryan__ | I was thinking there might be a broken package somewhere on the system. That's why I suggested that | 12:15 |
| dr_willis | TOR was gone from the ubuntu repos for a long time , i think it only recently got added back in. | 12:16 |
| dr_willis | !info tor | 12:16 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:16 |
| Ryan__ | If you can't install Unity-3d (default), you might try: sudo apt-get install unity-2d | 12:16 |
| Ryan__ | This installs Unity 2d | 12:16 |
| fider123 | is it advised to dist-upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-10 ?? | 12:16 |
| krazykrivda | tyler_d: i can't.. there is a script i cannot modify | 12:17 |
| krazykrivda | tyler_d: i can't.. there is a script i cannot modify.. the script really says: pm path $file | 12:18 |
| krazykrivda | tyler_d: but i do have control of the file variable | 12:18 |
| heizmann | :( | 12:18 |
| makara | yagoo: yeah i did before, but now i don't have my work computer to copy from. i can't download debs with my laptop 'cause it's 10.04 not 11.04 | 12:18 |
| mega1 | how can i get ubuntu to look for new hardware | 12:19 |
| mega1 | and install driver | 12:19 |
| makara | i just wasted 1.3gig of bandwidth on Jigdo. Warning to everyone | 12:19 |
| WaltherFI | reboot, should work | 12:19 |
| Ryan__ | makara, you might try upgrading Ubuntu, unless you don't want to. But if you do, then try this: Press Alt + F2 on the keyboard. Then, type: update-manager -d. You can then choose to upgrade Ubuntu. | 12:20 |
| Pici | makara: NO | 12:22 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"? | 12:22 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Well back nothing worked on the HDD boot. | 12:22 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: What was the Network mgr alternative you said? | 12:23 |
| Pici | makara: update-manager -d will prompt to upgrade to the next development release of Ubuntu, which is still in alpha status. | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: wicd | 12:23 |
| phalaris | hi | 12:23 |
| TBotNik | Is it a lot better? | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: I find it more flexible, it doesn't do 3G but if you never use 3G you are ok | 12:24 |
| rumba | I unplugged my network cable while the computer was running, plugged it into another computer, then back into mine and now the network doesn't work anymore. I've even reset the router and no change. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: no software is outright better than another | 12:24 |
| tyler_d | krazykrivda: what exactly are you trying to do? end goal please? what does this script do? where is it from? | 12:24 |
| rumba | Command "ip a" gives "2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000". Any idea how to fix this issue? | 12:24 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Until they get together and combine functions, LOL | 12:25 |
| fider123 | is it advised to dist-upgrade to kernel 2.6.38-10 ?? | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | rumba, try rebooting your computer ..don't ask me why | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rumba: try restarting the network service, or unloading and loading the module driving the interface | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | fider123, if you need the new features.. yes.. if not.. no.. | 12:25 |
| Pici | fider123: If you're not sure, read the changelogs. | 12:25 |
| rumba | BluesKaj: Did that a few times. Also kept if off and removed the network chable, put the cable back in, turned it back on. | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: there are usually alternatives in all cases, each has strengths and weaknesses | 12:25 |
| bullgard4_ | rumba: Get your eth0 operational. | 12:25 |
| fider123 | Pici: where is a changelog ? | 12:25 |
| krazykrivda | tyler_d: i think it is simply impossible | 12:25 |
| fider123 | dr_willis: what are the new features ? | 12:25 |
| dr_willis | fider123, no idea. | 12:26 |
| rumba | The network card's lights are on when I boot but they turn off _during_ Ubuntu's boot | 12:26 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: HOWTO url please, tired on this NM mess. | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rumba: you may need to unload and load the nic module | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | fider123, i always upgrade to the latest.... :) | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: sudo apt-get install wicd it may be on the liveCD which you can add as a repo | 12:26 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Assume I have to purge nm first? | 12:26 |
| maahes | IIRC, editing resolv.conf manually for ubuntu while using nm-applet was useless because nm-applet constantly overwrote it, if I wanted to force nm-applet to use the same DNS for all connections, how would I do so? | 12:26 |
| maahes | !dns | 12:26 |
| ubottu | To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html | 12:26 |
| maahes | hrrm | 12:26 |
| rumba | bullgard4_: Isn't that why I'm here? :P | 12:26 |
| maahes | that's not it | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | maahes: yes but only when the link comes up, if the dhcp has happened you can edit all you want | 12:27 |
| Jurgentje | Hi... I'm having troubles with LPROF (for icc profiles) ... can't find how to load the IT8 target | 12:27 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Will also have to CHROOT from here to install right? | 12:27 |
| rumba | Okay, I'm on wireless now. Brb. | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | maahes, i just set my routers dns #'s then set the machines to use the routers ip as their dns. | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | rumba, then follow ActionParsnip 's suggestion , /etc/init.d/networking restqart | 12:27 |
| bullgard4_ | rumba: I do not know why you are here. But I answered the question which you put here in this channel. | 12:27 |
| maahes | dr_willis~> this is a laptop | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | re3start | 12:27 |
| Pici | fider123: If you're regularly concerned with what changes upgrades are bringing you, you should install apt-listchanges. It will give you a list after it has downloaded the packages (before it installs them). Alternatively... I'm getting you a link for this package's changes.. one moment. | 12:27 |
| maahes | neither of those answers are solutions | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | maahes: you can set DNS servers in network manager, just set the connection to DHCP (address only) and you can set the DNS servers you desire | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | this dam kb | 12:27 |
| maahes | ActionParsnip~> that works *per connection* | 12:27 |
| maahes | not globally | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: that's another way, slightly more graceful plus you'll get the latest wicd from the repos | 12:28 |
| TBotNik | how? | 12:28 |
| maahes | I.e. if I connect to Wifi_Hotspot1 it works there, but if I connect to Wifi_Hotspot2 I have to set it again. | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | maahes: I beleive there is an all connection option. Wicd can do it | 12:28 |
| rumba | Restarted network service, no change. | 12:29 |
| rumba | The network card's lights turn off during Ubuntu's boot. | 12:29 |
| Pici | fider123: This should be it. Chrome is doing some weird things here (windows) so I had to use w3m: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.38-10.46 | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | rumba, sudo ifconfig up | 12:32 |
| maahes | I hate that ubuntu now requires logging in to view the forums | 12:33 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: You did not get last Q? "How?" | 12:33 |
| rumba | BluesKaj: up: error fetching interface information: Device not found | 12:33 |
| TBotNik | maahes: Not all entries, just some | 12:33 |
| skymind0 | after i installed backtrack tools on ubuntu 10.04 synaptic package manager did not work how i can fix that | 12:34 |
| rumba | Tried rmmod and modprobe r8169, but nothing changed (except that eth0 now appears as the last interface when I do ip a). | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, try the cli apt-get commands? | 12:34 |
| bnovc | whenever I start typing anything, anywhere, the Ubuntu panel searcher thing pops up | 12:34 |
| bnovc | and makes it almost impossible to do anything | 12:34 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, whats 'backtrack' tools anyway? | 12:34 |
| auronandace | !backtrack | skymind0 | 12:34 |
| ubottu | skymind0: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 12:34 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"? | 12:35 |
| bnovc | this happens every few days and I have to reboot to fix it | 12:35 |
| bnovc | is there any easier way to kill the panel thing? | 12:35 |
| bnovc | or maybe even a fix for this | 12:35 |
| yagoo | rumba, u need to alias eth0 to r8169 with modprobe conf file | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: do you mean "How can I chroot"? | 12:35 |
| yagoo | rumba, perhaps the alias file.. | 12:35 |
| yagoo | !alias | 12:35 |
| skymind0 | all of backtrack tools | 12:35 |
| yagoo | ubottu should have that factoir | 12:35 |
| ubottu | yagoo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:35 |
| rumba | yagoo: Yes, please be more specific. | 12:35 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: You said "A more graceful way than chroot" I said how? | 12:36 |
| yagoo | rumba, i think i gave u enough info. | 12:36 |
| yagoo | (yes i know how to do it) | 12:36 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, whats is this 'backtrack tools' You are refering to? Ive never heard of them. If you mean stuff from a a backtrack repo. well. You may want to start by removing them. | 12:36 |
| yagoo | ( i don't spoon feed nor rtfm because i'm polite ) | 12:36 |
| yagoo | (unless u push me) | 12:36 |
| bazhang | yagoo, then dont answer at all | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: imho the chrioot is better as you wil be using the web like a regular install. If you enable the install CD as a repo using software centre (and wicd is on the CD) then you can install from there | 12:36 |
| rumba | I was pushing you to remember the bot's ! command :P | 12:37 |
| yagoo | rumba, rtfm | 12:37 |
| skymind0 | no i want them | 12:37 |
| TheCyberShocker | Hi guys got a different problem now, just installed kubuntu and, for some reason its quite slow, net is slow, and when i click "log out" its just black with the mouse, also the taskbar won't maximize to my screen size | 12:37 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: K how to I set the liveCD as repo? Never done that one yet! | 12:37 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, even tho you just stated they broke your system badly.. anway. try the command line apt-get commands.. see if those still work. | 12:38 |
| skymind0 | plz forgive me sir because my english is weak | 12:38 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: my liveCD is 10.04 default, do you know is wicd is on it? | 12:38 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, does 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install SOMTHING' still work? | 12:38 |
| mega1 | if i put the alternate ubuntu into cd how do i upgrade | 12:38 |
| skymind0 | i reinstalled ununtu | 12:39 |
| auronandace | !upgrade | mega1 | 12:39 |
| ubottu | mega1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:39 |
| skymind0 | ubuntu | 12:39 |
| rumba | Yeah, so how do I do that alias? All Google has to offer is vi /etc/modprobe.conf, but I don't have that file. | 12:39 |
| skymind0 | iask because iwant to add that tools again | 12:39 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: locate only shows 2 files on the liveCD, one for desktop and one an image. | 12:40 |
| skymind0 | but i am afraid the same problem come back again | 12:40 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: both under /usr/share/app-install | 12:40 |
| TheCyberShocker | Hi guys got a different problem now, just installed kubuntu and, for some reason its quite slow, net is slow, and when i click "log out" its just black with the mouse, also the taskbar won't maximize to my screen size | 12:40 |
| auronandace | skymind0: you haven't told us what the tools are that backtrack uses that you want to install | 12:40 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, we have no controll of anything 'backtrack' does if you are using their repositorories. yOu normally DONT mixx repos that way. I sugewst finding the identical tools on ubuntu repos, or ppa's | 12:41 |
| skymind0 | but there is not hacking tools on Ubuntu | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | skymind0, name a specific tool you are wanting to use.... | 12:43 |
| dr_willis | theres ppa's and other repos for most everyting that exists for linux for Ubuntu.. | 12:43 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: So is the wicd.desktop file the actual install repo? | 12:43 |
| quiseal | Hello, I am running ubuntu 10.10 and was working just fine till today. Today when I started the laptop, the network manager applet is gone and also there is no network. | 12:44 |

| skymind0 | what is repos ? | 12:45 |
| auronandace | !repo | skymind0 | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: if you enable the CD as a repo using software centre or uncommenting the top line in /etc/apt/sources.list the install CD will be a repo, not sure if its on there. Otherwise you'll need to chroot | 12:45 |

| dr_willis | wols, no idea. | 12:49 |
| TBotNik | ActionParsnip: Ah I think we need this in the HDD file, so will work right on reboot, or not? | 12:49 |
| wols | quiseal: kill it and restart it? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | TBotNik: assuming wicd is on the CD and the CD is in the drive, yes. run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install wicd | 12:49 |

| quiseal | wols: I can | 12:49 |
| wols | !doesn't work | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:49 |
| BluesKaj | rumba, that modprobe reference threw me off , but the rt with a number usually indicates a wifi driver, mine uses rtc and I'm on ethernet | 12:49 |

| OmegaForte | ActionParsnip, Is firewire still considered a "network spooler" in linux...Or do I really have phantom nic's. | 12:51 |
| wols | quiseal: has your internet access ever worked? andif so, what did you change? | 12:51 |
| wols | OmegaForte: it still is a NIC aong other things | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | OmegaForte: you can use them as NICs, that I know. Otherwise not sure | 12:52 |

| tyler_d | I'm trying to get unity back(ubuntu 11.04) when I do unity --reset I get a seg fault, I went one step further and tried simply `compiz` with the same result.. hep please? | 12:52 |
| OmegaForte | wols, Dammit. I hate firewire. | 12:52 |
| quiseal | wols: The problem is that when I started my machine today, network manager applet was no longer in the gnome bar...and I could not acces my router from firefox which is odd. | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | tyler_d: is it ok as another user? | 12:52 |
| quiseal | wols: Running 10.10 32 bit ubuntu on the machine | 12:53 |
| tyler_d | ActionParsnip: haven't checked | 12:53 |
| OmegaForte | tyler_d, Just log out, select the interface tingus and set it to Unity from whatever you set it to. | 12:53 |
| wols | quiseal: so check logs, the output of ifconfig, your /etc/network/interfaces, etc | 12:53 |
| tyler_d | OmegaForte: it is already set as unity | 12:53 |
| quiseal | wols: Ok, I'll try. Isn't there some kind of repair of ubuntu?:) | 12:53 |
| wols | quiseal: no there is no magical repair button. next version maybe | 12:54 |

| cabuloso | i just installed ubuntu 11.04 and tried gwibber for twitter, but nothing shows up in the timeline after i created the account and authorized, anyone can help? | 12:58 |
| sudokill | double clicking the exe should work | 12:58 |
| rumba | BluesKaj: No, I don't see any IP addresses after a 'route' | 12:59 |
| tyler_d | OmegaForte: nothing to compiz specifically, I have been trying to get unity back for some time; with the nvidia drivers or intel drivers (laptop) I don't really care which... fighting for 2 weeks now; currently I'm using the nouveau drivers(ensured that they weren't blacklisted) and rolled back to an old kernel... still no joy | 12:59 |
| wols | ionite: yu can. depending how the GUI is set up. and you can alwaysdefine a shortcut that does "wine <program>" | 12:59 |
| rumba | I just reinstalled the network-manager via aptitude. I'll reboot and see what happens. | 12:59 |
| OmegaForte | tyler_d, Well, compiz doesn't just into space. It sounds like all the work you've been doing broke a bunch of the dependencies, may be time for a clean install. | 12:59 |
| tyler_d | OmegaForte: well that is simply fantastic to hear. | 13:00 |
| ionite | wols: i got this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/659278/ | 13:00 |
| wols | tyler_d: I wouldnÄt listen to him. if there are broken dependencies, apt-get is VERY vocal about them, trust me | 13:00 |
| OmegaForte | tyler_d, Welcome to Linux. Where the tutorials are older than the distros. | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | ok rumba, but an install --reinstall would be best , if you updated lately | 13:01 |
| AdvoWork | any reason why i cant format a drive from ntfs to ufs with gparted? | 13:01 |
| wols | tyler_d: and were you should be very careful what people tell you on irc | 13:01 |
| ionite | wols: alright i solved it. but i'm still puzzled why cant i right click and run it? | 13:01 |
| wols | AdvoWork: what does gparted tell you? | 13:01 |
| wols | ionite: cause an .exe file is no linux binary? | 13:02 |
| tyler_d | OmegaForte: I personally think thats not a valid solution; if I were using windows ok. but I'm smart enough to know that you can check logs; strace on programs, its simply the next step that is missing; finding someone smarter than I am | 13:02 |
| tyler_d | wols: ;) your a star man I concur | 13:02 |
| ionite | wols: no i mean, like right click, run with WINE | 13:02 |
| AdvoWork | wols, its just greyed out | 13:02 |
| OmegaForte | tyler_d, Well the thing is; that every step forward you take, you remove the ability to take a step backwards unless you maintain recursive backups. | 13:02 |
| wols | ionite: you are probably looking in the wrong place for autorun.exe. provide a full path to it | 13:02 |
| wols | AdvoWork: is there a mkfs.ufs somewhere? | 13:03 |
| ionite | wols: but i still get the error of the file '/home/david/Desktop/English/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. | 13:03 |
| ionite | wols: i'm talking about running from GUI. | 13:03 |
| wols | tyler_d: have you tried a new user as suggested? | 13:03 |
| AdvoWork | wols, locate couldnt find mkfs.ufs | 13:03 |
| wols | tyler_d: ahdn what is the gxinfo | head -n 10 output? | 13:03 |
| wols | AdvoWork: hence why you cannot create such a filesystem. linux suppor for ufs is very bare to nonexistant anyways afaik | 13:04 |
| tyler_d | wols: root@cthompson:~# glxinfo | head -n 10 | 13:04 |
| tyler_d | Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig | 13:04 |
| tyler_d | name of display: :0.0 | 13:04 |
| ionite | wols: i tried right clicking the exe file and run with WINE but it doesn't work. | 13:04 |
| AdvoWork | wols, thing is, its going to be for a freenas box,which uses ufs :/ | 13:04 |
| wols | tyler_d: that's an wesome reason why compiz segfaults. no proper 3D support. | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | ionite, use the terminal wine /path/to/the/whatever.exe | 13:04 |
| wols | tyler_d: question: did you use drives from nvidia.com before? and then switched back to nouveau? | 13:05 |
| ionite | dr_willis: why should i use the terminal and not GUI? | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | ionite, you want it to work? :) | 13:05 |
| tyler_d | wols: fantastical; back to square 1... yah, you and I have been around the block a time or 2 together | 13:05 |
| sudokill | right clicking the exe should work | 13:05 |
| ionite | dr_willis: btw, i installed it in C:/windows where can I find the installed application? | 13:05 |
| sudokill | double clicking* | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | ionite, i alwyas use terminal to start wine apps.. theres often a lot of messages/erorrs/info in the terminal text. | 13:05 |
| wols | tyler_d: answer my question please | 13:05 |
| ionite | sudokill: i did try right clicking but it wasn't successful till i used the terminal | 13:05 |
| wols | ionite: check ~/.xsession-errors perhaps | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | ionite, wine has its own 'special' .wine directory that clones a winmdows install | 13:06 |
| bullgard4_ | [Natty] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.38/drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig is headlined: "MMC/SD host controller drivers". What is a "host controller"? | 13:06 |
| ionite | dr_willis: so where can find the files? | 13:06 |
| tyler_d | wols: initially I had tried the nvidia.com drivers yes. .then removed; tried the repo nvidia drivers ; rolled back to nouveau (currently nouveau) | 13:06 |
| makara | let's start from the top. I have Lynx with Internet and Natty without. I run ethernet cable between them and Natty tries to autoconnect ethernet. It fails. Why? | 13:06 |
| wols | bullgard4_: a controller on a host. SATA, USB, SDCards, all have host controllers | 13:06 |
| sprung | ionite, there is also a #winehq which is the official WINE support channel, they might be able to help you better | 13:06 |
| wols | meaning you can attach a "client", in this case a SD card | 13:07 |
| asdjaputra | makara, wait, what? | 13:07 |
| tyler_d | makara: because the lynx server isn't a dhcp server? | 13:07 |
| wols | makara: what is this "Lynx"? | 13:07 |
| tyler_d | lol | 13:07 |
| Pici | wols: lucid | 13:07 |
| tyler_d | makara: lynx as far as I know is a text based browswer | 13:07 |
| makara | lucid lynx 10.04 LTS | 13:07 |
| sprung | he's talking about lucid lynx duh | 13:08 |
| wols | and as tyler_d just told you, this lynxeither needs a DHCP server or you have to set a static IP on both ends | 13:08 |
| * sprung rolls eyes | 13:08 | |
| tyler_d | awesome.. I just lost the internet race | 13:08 |
| dr_willis | ionite, wine installs stuff into the ~/.wine directory | 13:08 |
| asdjaputra | it's better if he said lucid | 13:08 |
| asdjaputra | or 10.04 | 13:08 |
| wols | makara: and depending on hardware, you also need a crossover cable | 13:08 |
| makara | why must I set an IP on Lynx. its got one from the modem | 13:08 |
| OmegaForte | tyler_d, It's a good thing dude. Winning the internet is paramount to an hero. | 13:08 |
| sprung | most everybody calls the Lynx browser "links" now | 13:08 |
| ionite | dr_willis: it's not in the file system manager?? | 13:09 |
| wols | makara: your ethernet you connect to from natty doesn't have an IP. and neither does natty if it doesn't use dhcp or set a static one | 13:09 |
| sudokill | sprung, theyre 2 different browsers | 13:09 |
| wols | sprung: no. they are different browsers | 13:09 |
| Nicolus | is there a xlsx to pdf convertor ? | 13:09 |
| tyler_d | makara: your 10.04 system gets an ip address from a dhcp server, you need to provide a "bridge" or alternetely the 10.04 has to act as a dhcp server to the other machine | 13:09 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: Ah! Understood. Thank you very much for your help. | 13:09 |
| dr_willis | ionite, If your user installs a .exe with wine.. its in the users home dir.. | 13:09 |

| asdjaputra | wols, seconded | 13:10 |
| tyler_d | makara: or nat it.. but from what I can tell your easiest solution is to plug them both into a router(which is a dhcp server) and go to town | 13:10 |
| rumba | Reposting with more info: I removed the network cable from my computer, plugged it into another, plugged it back into mine and the network card stopped working in Ubuntu 11.04.

| wols | mega1: lspci -nn knows | 13:22 |
| airtonix | RA_drc: because you're video card isn't properly supported by your driver. I suspect you are using compiz as the window manager, try installing fusion-icon and switching window manager to metacity | 13:23 |
| craigbass1976 | airtonix, I'm in Lucid. You are right, it's in the print dialog that most apps pop up, but not in this app. And it doesn't show up in the pist of lrinters when I go into the cups GUI | 13:23 |

| mega1 | ok its a broadcom bcm5751 gigabit pci express | 13:24 |
| airtonix | craigbass1976: it won't show up in the CUPS web admin or the printer configuration application because it's nothing to do with cups as far as i suspect. | 13:24 |
| craigbass1976 | airtonix, it's a java web app; proprietary that I've managed to get running in linux | 13:24 |
| RA_drc | airtonix: how can i tell if i'm using compiz, what should i do to install fusion-icon, and how do i switch the window manager? | 13:24 |

| kakha_ | hi all | 13:25 |
| airtonix | craigbass1976: just out of interest, could you screenshot this print dialog window that your java application is producing ? | 13:25 |
| airtonix | craigbass1976: in anycase, you canf find the cups pdf printer by using apt-cache search cups | grep pdf | 13:25 |
| airtonix | RA_drc: either on the terminal : sudo apt-get install fusion-icon | 13:26 |
| airtonix | RA_drc: or in software center applications > software center. search for fusion-icon, install it. | 13:27 |

| epzis | plus i see lots of people claimiing they dual boot without it (on forums but i couldnt ask them how as they never came back lol) | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: your dumbass hardware is stopping you. If you had a regular system, you could. | 14:02 |
| ben22 | Could somebody please tell me which service respawns "wpa_supplicant -u -s" when it is killed? | 14:02 |
| epzis | ActionParsnip: hardware isnt an issue , single boot works | 14:02 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, sudo gedit /etc/fstab . Add the mount point, and the local mount with the noauto flag. | 14:02 |
| jrib | epzis: you can try grub-efi though I didn't have luck booting os x with it last time i tried | 14:03 |
| OmegaForte | epzis, Yeah, it is the hardware's fault. Your hardware requires EFI support, which is like a hardware abstraction layer loading before the hardware abstraction layer. | 14:03 |
| epzis | OmegaForte: AFAIK (i may be wrong on this) Linux (not just ubuntu )supports EFI now | 14:04 |
| epzis | plus, even tho i would like it to be MY hardware it's actually Apple's lol | 14:04 |
| qos | hey guys. is there a way to switch between 2 x servers by a terminal command? i started a second x server and now i am not able to switch between them with CTRL-ALT-6..9 -.- | 14:05 |

| ActionParsnip | epzis: is bootcamp == refit? | 14:06 |

| Kiff__ | OmegaForte: lol looking at my fstab for some reason /dev/sdb1 was listed to mount at / | 14:07 |
| Kiff__ | not /dev/sda1.. i changed the sdb to sda and now it works if i plug it in | 14:07 |
| mega1 | wols it says eth4 not eth0 | 14:08 |
| ben22 | does anybody know how to permanently kill 'wpa_supplicant' ? | 14:08 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, That's the root mount. Where the OS is installed. You need to find your USB dringus's sd# and set a mount point, and define the file table, add the noauto for when it's missing so it doesn't gripe, define rw so you can write to it, and 0 0 for error handling. | 14:08 |
| Kiff__ | OmegaForte: i know its the root mount.. but i dont know why my root device was listed in fstab as sdb1 | 14:09 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, Because that' the location of it. | 14:09 |
| Kiff__ | becuase my root device is sda | 14:09 |
| Kiff__ | df -h shows /dev/sda1 226G 8.2G 206G 4% / | 14:10 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, I learned something yesterday. Certain USB devices get added before some hard drives, but as long as grub points to the right UUID/address, it doesn't matter. | 14:10 |
| qos | hey guys. is there a way to switch between 2 x servers by a terminal command? i started a second x server and now i am not able to switch between them with CTRL-ALT-6..9 -.- | 14:10 |
| mega1 | can i change eth4 to eth0 | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: not something I've done but it appears it can be done | 14:11 |
| epzis | ActionParsnip: you have a link describing it? | 14:11 |
| Kiff__ | so it should matter then that i edited fstab to sda1 / | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678542 | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: maybe | 14:11 |
| epzis | ActionParsnip: that asks me to register O.o | 14:12 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, Yeah, it does. Just undo what you did before you break something. In linux, there is no undo button. | 14:12 |
| doubletwist | So, what might cause java web start [javaws] to take **forever** to start? Even if I just run it to get to the settings, it takes about 2 minutes to actually start, but I can't tell what it's doing. I'm using the sun-java6-jre version of jav | 14:12 |
| doubletwist | java | 14:12 |
| Kiff__ | ok but how did it mount /dev/sda1 to / when its listed as /dev/sdb1 | 14:13 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, God. Okay, stop overthinking this. Open Disk Util from System - Administration. | 14:13 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, Then unplug the USB dingloid and see WHICH ONE VANISHES. Write that down and plug it back in, and see where it is now. | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: oh, I have an ubuntu forums account. let me retry. All I'm searching for is: ubuntu bootcamp | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | epzis: you should try it too | 14:14 |
| Kiff__ | i dont need to i know its sdb | 14:14 |
| mega1 | how do i reconfiger my network card | 14:14 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, You know this, but it wasn't there. Hmm | 14:14 |
| epzis | ActionParsnip: if i'm here i eventually did some research, all i found was either use refit or windows | 14:15 |
| Kiff__ | it was in disk utility.. i said that when i joined the channel.. but when i clicked mount in disk utility it said mtab says its mounted as / already | 14:15 |
| OmegaForte | Kiff__, Maybe it's because the special device mounts are detected on kernel boot, instead of by the bios. And anything mounted at / is the ROOT FILE SYSTEM. Where the OPERATING SYSTEM is installed. | 14:15 |
| Kiff__ | which doenst make sense becuase sda is mounted as / | 14:15 |
| makara_ | hi. ifconfig -a gives a list of interfaces: eth0, lo, ppp0, wlan0. if I set the ip for eth0 will that affect the ip for ppp0? | 14:16 |

| ActionParsnip | epzis: not sure, why is refit not desirable? | 14:17 |
| epzis | ActionParsnip: that mac is still under warranty, surprisingly enough apple wont annoy me if i install linux but surely will if i install refit (thats what they said) | 14:17 |

| usalabs | I've been playing around with deciding or not, to upgrade to Karmic, but there's a lot of downside being published about Unity, anyone got any opinions on this? | 14:39 |
| usr13 | makara_: just do sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.4.4 (If netmask 255.255.255.0 is ok, that is default) | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | usalabs: Unity is in Natty, not Karmic | 14:39 |
| jorge12345ff | hola | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | usalabs: I'd say grab the natty liveCD and try it | 14:40 |
| jorge12345ff | hola | 14:40 |
| jorge12345ff | hola | 14:40 |
| usr13 | makara_: Are you trying to establish an internet connection? | 14:40 |
| boywonder | Kiff__, that failed lol | 14:40 |
| jorge12345ff | hola | 14:40 |

| TBotNik | All: Was told wicd was superior to Network Manager, but now can not make it masquerade to bridge my LAN across my wlan0 connect. Additionally I do not see a way in it to set the wlan0 as the default come up first, and it seems to ignore all the standard files, so at a loss right now to know what to do. Anyone done this in wicd before? I'm total noobie on this one. Thinking about going back to NM, if I can't solve this soon, thinking mayb | 14:40 |
| Kiff__ | boywonder: in what way? | 14:40 |
| boywonder | Kiff__, siad failed to mount | 14:40 |
| Island_Monkey | I have an issue with the launcher. The launcher hides ok but leaves a black background that interferes with the GUI meaning I can't maximise without that stupid black rectangle in my way. Any ideas how to fix it? | 14:40 |
| jorge12345ff | que | 14:40 |
| makara_ | Kiff_: it worked | 14:40 |
| jorge12345ff | que | 14:41 |
| jorge12345ff | queaa | 14:41 |
| usr13 | TBotNik: First: It is beyond the scope of wicd to do internet connection sharing. | 14:41 |
| Kiff__ | boywonder: what was the error | 14:41 |
| jorge12345ff | q | 14:41 |
| Island_Monkey | jorge: nope | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, seems the latest updates killed a lot of network interfaces | 14:41 |
| makara_ | usr13: trying to connect 2 pcs with crossover cable | 14:41 |
| usr13 | TBotNik: Second: Why does it matter if wlan0 comes up first? What exactly are you trying to do. | 14:42 |
| TBotNik | usr13: Then what do you use to masquerade and bridge? | 14:42 |
| usr13 | makara_: Then that is all you should need. Just set the IP as needed and you should be good to go. | 14:42 |
| jorge12345ff | sorry | 14:42 |
| TBotNik | usr13: Has to come up first or eth2 was to be primary inet connect and it has to be static dhcpd server. | 14:43 |
| greywalk | hi. when i activate the proprietary driver for nvidia graphics cards from the ubuntu repo, it installs ok, but the whole system kind of hangs, works more slowly. has anyone else had this problem as well? | 14:43 |
| usr13 | TBotNik: That you can do with firewall settings. Or you can just enter the commands on your own. I ususally use ipmasqurade (via iptables) | 14:43 |
| lefort_v | Hello ! | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | greywalk: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot | 14:43 |
| usr13 | !firestarter | TBotNik | 14:43 |
| ubottu | TBotNik: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 14:43 |
| makara_ | usr13: what about this 'Auto eth0' connection from the network connections list. I still says I'm not connected. | 14:44 |
| ziikutv | How can i fix flash video that freezes and the audio goes on? | 14:44 |
| usr13 | !ics | TBotNik | 14:44 |
| ubottu | TBotNik: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 14:44 |
| greywalk | ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll try that | 14:44 |
| ziikutv | is that a prob with flash | 14:44 |

All the 5 normal file were correct, as I re-edited them after the crash, but NM kept displaying 2 false connections [ifupdown (eth2) and ifupdown (wlan0)] in the "Wired" tab of "Network Connections" and can not find any HOWTOs that can tell you 1.

| craigbass1976 | Or does ANYONE have an answer? This dialog: http://tinypic.com/r/157k8wp/7 is where I'd like to see a pdf printer pop up. There's a windows app called pdfCreator that acts like a printer. While I realize this is largely unnecessary in Linux, some foolish java programmer (or group of them) requires an actual printer to print to. I'm stuck | 14:53 |
| TBotNik | usr13: The purge issued by the wicd install must have knocked out some FF dependencies, so it's broke now. | 14:53 |

| === jgay_ is now known as jgay | ||
| BluesKaj | tyler_d, what are you trying to do ? | 14:58 |
| TBotNik | BluesKaj: No wonder FF was crapping, showing 3.0 and 3.5 both installed in Synaptic, so can't run because of conflicts, purging all the 3.0 stuff going to 3.5 | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | ok TBotNik , let us know how it goes | 14:58 |
| tyler_d | BluesKaj: find out what package is refering to that | 14:59 |

| craigbass1976 | airtonix, no, that brings up ANOTHER print dialog: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=aeuzgx&s=7 | 15:02 |

| TBotNik | usr13: I know I was strictly on 3.5 before I issued the wicd install. It did purge on NM and I had done that a couple weeks back on another machine and that does knock out parts of FF, dependency wise, then all the 3.0 FF stuff had to come from the wicd install, cus I knew I was on 3.5, had cleaned it up about a month back. | 15:03 |
| atannus | Hi. I have the Purple Screen of Death. 10.10 was running _fine_ on the machine, and after upgrade to 11.04 is stuck on purple screen. I have tried all solutions presented on forums, no good. Booting with older kernels .38 and .35 get me to the login screen, but after I type int hte password, I get nothing but the background and the mouse pointer (which can move). The 10.10 install had openSSH installed and working, so I _can_ ssh into the machine | 15:03 |
| atannus | , from where I tried removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling them, which also did not help. This seems to be a common problem with 11.04, and I also know there is no option to downgrade back to 10.10. Does anyone have an idea? | 15:03 |

| craigbass1976 | makara_, the dell and the brother only. | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | tyler_d, if you are trying to install the nvidia current driver , the install should automatically remove any vestiges of previous drivers , if gdm/X aren't running , best to install the nvidia -current driver at a tty . | 15:06 |

| bazhang | abn7575, not supported will break unity avoid | 15:06 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | abn7575 | 15:06 |
| ubottu | abn7575: 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. | 15:06 |

| usr13 | makara_: What server are you trying to connect to? | 15:07 |
| abn7575 | i know it will break unity. I dont use unity as it is. I dont like it | 15:07 |

| bazhang | abn7575, full reinstall | 15:07 |
| auronandace | abn7575: gnome 3 will be supported for the next release (perhaps it is better to wait till then) | 15:07 |
| abn7575 | no | 15:07 |
| TBotNik | ne2k: Never, a keytracker is a virus, that you willingly install and Google is the leader in analytics because of their keytrackers. No not installing a virus on my machine. Already installed all the blocking plugins, so not undoing that! | 15:07 |

| usr13 | makara_: Are you plugged into correct ethernet port? (Do either of those machines have more than one?) | 15:11 |
| usr13 | makara_: If you have NM running, it will sometimes try and change IP settings. That is sometimes a problem. | 15:12 |
| makara_ | usr13: ok# | 15:12 |
| makara_ | usr13: it somehow lost the ipv4 address, but it still displayed it in the GUI network tools program | 15:12 |

| tyler_d | in term I am trying to remove nvida-glx, however it isn't found. so in trying to add it then remove it I see that its refered to by another package... how do I find out what package it is? | 15:13 |

| highness_ | Umm.. If I want to run something in crontab on a daily basis, will it be correct to use 0 0 * * * root /path/to/script.sh ? | 15:13 |
| makara_ | usr13: now it says 'connection refused by server' | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | tyler_d, soory I didn't scrollback to see your original question , I assumed you were having nvidia driver issues | 15:14 |
| usr13 | makara_: Ok you are good to go. But if you want to use these devices to connect the two PCs together perminately, you may need to set those IP addresses via NM. | 15:14 |
| tyler_d | BluesKaj: s'all good | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | ok tyler_d , good to hear | 15:14 |
| usr13 | makara_: What is saying connection refused by server>? | 15:14 |
| usr13 | makara_: What software are you trying to use? What type of server are you trying to connect to? | 15:15 |
| atannus | *sigh* | 15:15 |
| Pici | atannus: Downgrades are unsupported. | 15:15 |
| atannus | Then get the fucking upgrades working... | 15:15 |
| oCean | atannus: that language is not acceptable | 15:16 |
| atannus | neither is 11.04 | 15:16 |
| makara_ | usr13: i put in port 22, ssh, name is alex, the login name of the other computer (lucid lynx 10.04), the folder is /home | 15:16 |
| ne2k | highness_: that will run at midnight every day, and run it as root | 15:16 |
| atannus | but no one seems to give a damn about that. | 15:16 |
| highness_ | ne2k: Perfect | 15:16 |
| usr13 | atannus: I understand there is a way to do it and have seen some info on it, but don't know how reliable it is. Best to back up your /home dir and do fresh install. (If you have /home on separate partition, just tell the install to leave it alone and set same user name. | 15:16 |
| ne2k | highness_: this is /etc/crontab, not a user's crontab | 15:16 |
| makara_ | usr13: I'm on natty 32bit | 15:16 |
| highness_ | ne2k: That is awesome. I neeed to run as ROOT | 15:17 |
| usr13 | makara_: use the IP address. | 15:17 |
| highness_ | Thanks for verifying | 15:17 |
| atannus | usr13, lucky I do... thanks. | 15:17 |
| highness_ | Hmm... Stuff that I put in crontab.daily, does it run automatically, or do I need to do something else with it too? | 15:17 |
| usr13 | makara_: i.e. From 192.168.4.4 ssh atannus@192.168.4.5 | 15:17 |
| usr13 | makara_: But if user names are same, just do ssh 192.168.4.5 | 15:17 |
| ne2k | highness_: look in /etc/crontab and see | 15:18 |
| highness_ | ne2k: oh, I just ran crontab -e | 15:18 |
| highness_ | Is that the wrong way to go? | 15:18 |
| usr13 | makara_: ssh atannus@192.168.4.5 #Where atannus is the actual user name on 192.168.4.5 | 15:18 |
| atannus | I'll do a clean debian this time. Ubuntu is becoming too applelish to my taste anyways... | 15:18 |
| Synthead | what does "auth --useshadow --enablemd5" do in a kickstart? | 15:19 |
| ne2k | highness_: crontab -e is for editing a user's crontab, which is different from editing the system crontab | 15:19 |
| usr13 | atannus: You can switch back to gnome.... | 15:19 |
| atannus | usr13, i cant BOOT into the system... | 15:19 |
| highness_ | ne2k: Ah.. And when I do crontab -e as root, will it have the same effect? | 15:19 |
| ne2k | highness_: to edit the system crontab, you just edit /etc/crontab -- or use the /etc/cron.daily,etc/ directories (look in /etc/crontab to see how they work) | 15:19 |
| atannus | usr13, the damn think is broken. upgrade broke it. | 15:19 |
| ne2k | highness_: I'm not actually sure about that. it shoudl say in the man page | 15:19 |
| highness_ | ne2k: Ok. Thanks. | 15:20 |
| atannus | usr13, I can ssh, but that's no good for a desktop... | 15:20 |

| ne2k | highness_: I do know, though, that it is acceptable and works to edit the system crontab just by editing /etc/crontab and it will automatically be picked up | 15:20 |
| makara_ | usr13: refused. I've only got one login name on this pc and its alex. I'm already logged in and talking to you through it. Can there be multiple logins on one name? | 15:20 |
| usr13 | atannus: What is broken? (Probably can be fixed.) | 15:20 |
| ne2k | highness_: and that it is /not/ acceptable to edit a user's crontab in this way | 15:20 |
| atannus | usr13, Ubuntu is. Unity. | 15:20 |
| highness_ | ne2k: Roger | 15:20 |

| gusg | I'm trying to run "sudo ldconfig" but I'm getting this error "/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied" | 15:21 |
| usr13 | atannus: ...or gnome,(your choice). | 15:21 |
| atannus | usr13, so much for error messages... just lock the user on a purple screen. | 15:21 |
| jrib | atannus: didn't you quote an error earlier? | 15:21 |
| usr13 | makara_: There will only be multiple logins if you have created multiple users. | 15:21 |
| atannus | jrib, read back and you'll understand, son. | 15:22 |
| dean | Hey all could someone tell me if it is or isn't recommended installing kde inside ubuntu? | 15:22 |
| jrib | atannus: I think we should try to focus on fixing your ubuntu | 15:22 |
| usr13 | makara_: Are you sure you have the right password in mind? | 15:22 |
| craigbass1976 | makara_, what system, this computer? It was new within the last three years. I'm running lucid | 15:22 |
| atannus | jrib, agreed. | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: boot to classic desktop and get 3D accelleration running | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | makara_, so you say the pc you are sshing from doesn't connect to the internet , only thru ssh into the pc that does connect ? | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: you can if you want | 15:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: doesn't break anything, you will choose the session at logion | 15:23 |
| atannus | jrib, do you have any ideas? This seems to be a common problem, 100s of ppl reporting it on forums, dozens of "solutions" but none work. All forums tipos are still wide open, and most ppl just gave up. | 15:23 |
| jrib | atannus: what solutions have you tried that failed? | 15:24 |
| atannus | Or, perhaps I'm incompetent to find the solution... | 15:24 |
| dean | ActionParsnip, Is it easy to do also if I chose kde would I still have access to files and programs etc? | 15:24 |
| makara_ | Blueskay: the first thing yes, the second no | 15:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: yes, you can even run gnome apps in kde | 15:24 |
| atannus | ActionParsnip, read what I said before you suggest IMPOSSIBLE solutions, PLEASE. | 15:24 |
| usr13 | makara_: What exactly are you trying to do? | 15:24 |
| makara_ | usr13: I created a second user and said don't require password to login. it still refuses my connection | 15:24 |

| makara_ | usr13: share files between 2 pcs using a crossover cable | 15:25 |
| usr13 | makara_: You can't do that. You need to have a password. | 15:25 |
| dean | ActionParsnip, How would I go about installing it? also if I wanted to remove it would it be easy to do? | 15:25 |
| makara_ | usr13: for now | 15:25 |
| === david is now known as Guest18710 | ||
| usr13 | makara_: If you simply want to share files, use nfs | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: you can install minimal kde or kubuntu-desktop and get the full kde goodness | 15:25 |
| atannus | jrib, I tried falling back 4 kernel versions, tried using the default nvidia drivers, tried upgrading to latest nvidia drivers, tried safe mode, nothing works. | 15:25 |
| makara_ | craigbass1976: not sure why you're not getting the pdf option. do you have LibreOffice or OpenOffice installed? | 15:25 |
| usr13 | !nfs | makara_ | 15:26 |
| ubottu | makara_: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 15:26 |
| dean | ActionParsnip, Is there a best preference? | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: its not so easy to get off but is defaintely doable | 15:26 |
| craigbass1976 | makara_, libre | 15:26 |
| ionite | ochosi: but XP worked fine with my speakers. so i mean what should i install or something? | 15:26 |
| ionite | Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab?? | 15:26 |
| usr13 | makara_: If you want to simply transfer files from one to the other, use scp | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: whichever you prefer, if you have loads of space available then go full fat | 15:26 |
| jrib | atannus: by "nothing works" do you mean that nothing changed or that did it fail in a different way? | 15:26 |
| atannus | jrib, with older kernels I can get to the login screen WITH NO OPTIONS BUT THE PASSWORD INPUT. That means, ActionParsnip, I CANNOT CHOOSE CLASSIC MODE. | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: lose the caps, it achieves nothing | 15:26 |
| dean | ActionParsnip, I have 56gb spare | 15:26 |
| atannus | jrib, same purple screen, different resolutions (apparently) | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | dean: that'll do | 15:27 |
| atannus | AceKing, OK, WILL DO. | 15:27 |
| atannus | AceKing, sory... meant to ActionParsnip | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: try the boot option: nomodeset you probably have a crappy intel gpu | 15:27 |
| dean | ActionParsnip, When I log in and choose kubuntu can I still use files that are in Ubuntu such as video music and pictures? | 15:27 |
| atannus | ActionParsnip, the crappy intel gpu worked fine on 10.10. | 15:27 |
| usr13 | makara_: If want to share files, use nfs Set statick IPs for both systems and set up nfs share on one and make a fstab entry on the other to perminately mount the share on the other. | 15:27 |
| makara_ | usr13: i just want to get something to work. all these options are driving me nuts | 15:28 |
| jrib | atannus: does "recovery mode" behave differently? | 15:28 |
| atannus | jrib, boots into a prompt. | 15:28 |
| atannus | jrib, pointless since I can ssh into that machine from other boxes. | 15:28 |
| jrib | atannus: can you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: then nomodeset may be needed, some display stuff in 11.04 is ni teh kernel, which is why it works in Maverick | 15:28 |
| usr13 | makara_: Sorry. But again, if you just tell me what you want to do, I can help you. For now, do you just want to make ssh connection? | 15:28 |
| ionite | Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab?? | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: different kernel, different issues. Something working in an older version doesn't mean as much as you think | 15:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: how much RAM do you have? | 15:29 |
| BluesKaj | makara_, I agree with usr13, nfs works well for file transfer and access | 15:29 |
| makara_ | anything! i've never got an ethernet cable to connect 2 ubuntu computers in my whole life! | 15:29 |
| ionite | ActionParsnip: 512 | 15:30 |
| atannus | http://pastebin.com/gX8AFHPF | 15:30 |
| makara_ | if this works I'm opening a bottle of champaigne tonight | 15:30 |
| usr13 | makara_: On the contrary, you have just now. (you said you could ping the other machine, right?) | 15:30 |
| jrib | atannus: by the way, does ctrl-alt-f1 get you to a tty and away from the purple screen? | 15:30 |
| makara_ | usr13: that's worth a peach schnapps | 15:30 |
| atannus | ActionParsnip, Ok. When Ubuntu doesn't work, its my working hardware's fault. Your should be hired by Microsoft, dude. | 15:31 |
| atannus | They'll love yah. | 15:31 |
| usr13 | makara_: Do you want to connect via ssh from 192.168.4.4 to 192.168.4.5 or from 192.168.4.5 to 192.168.4.4 ? | 15:31 |
| atannus | jrib, lemme check | 15:31 |
| jrib | atannus: please... stay on-topic | 15:31 |
| makara_ | usr13: yes | 15:31 |
| atannus | jrib, no. | 15:32 |
| usr13 | makara_: see my pm | 15:32 |
| atannus | jrib, the only think that responds is ctrl-alt-del | 15:32 |
| jrib | atannus: try what ActionParsnip suggested by pressing 'e' at the grub screen to edit the kernel line. I was going to suggest removing "splash" but I suppose trying a few variations will not hurt | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | atannus: no, just that the OS is different so may not work as you expect. Did you try the nomodeset boot option? | 15:33 |
| atannus | jrib, tried removing splash. | 15:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ionite: should be ok. Does it affect all media playing apps | 15:33 |
| mman | im trying to instal atk-1.30 lib and when doing ./configure i get this error: pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.28.8, but GLIB (2.28.6) was found! ... | 15:33 |
| atannus | ActionParsnip, yes, I did. | 15:33 |
| jrib | atannus: remove 'quiet' too, it might provide more information | 15:33 |
| atannus | jrib, also tried to remove quiet. I said I tried _all_ forum fixes, and none worked. | 15:33 |
| * jrib has not memorized all forum fixes... | 15:34 | |
| atannus | jrib, ActionParsnip I'm not lying when I say I've read and tried forums, guys... | 15:34 |

| ActionParsnip | atannus: nice, personally always clean install, fewer issues | 15:35 |

| Narc | Hello everyone. I really need your help here. Two months ago, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Toshiba Satellite for a friend, and I'm running into issue after issue. Now it's almost working thanks to Kernel 2.6.38-10 but the network stops working after a while. I think it's a network module problem.

| wai1234 | 10.04 LTS server using an old laptop with lid switch that turns off screen. UB6 did NOT sleep with lid closed but 10 DOES. How do I turn this off? This is NOT a GUI config question, it's a server. | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: python makes nice GUIs | 15:43 |
| dli | Narc, the kernel log shows NIC working, but you got problem with system apic | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | wai1234: afaik, the screen will simply dim after some time | 15:43 |
| wai1234 | Nope, the machine tries to sleep/suspend when I close the lid. | 15:44 |
| dli | Narc, also, 8139too is quite stable for me, can you boot with kernel parameters: acpi=off no apic | 15:44 |
| wai1234 | I don't want sleep EVER | 15:44 |
| Narc | dli: That's the part about using a strange power saving mode, is it ? | 15:44 |
| wai1234 | I assume it's a power management configuration issue. | 15:45 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, but I want something easy to make GUI, something like "visual basic" that is easy to create guis | 15:45 |
| dli | Narc, try noapic first | 15:46 |
| Narc | dli: I tried these with older kernel but never with this one because acpi=off tends to screw everything, including network, but I'll try that right now. Thanks for your help. | 15:46 |
| dli | Narc, try combinations with acpi=off and noapic | 15:46 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, with Qt i think it is possible | 15:46 |
| Narc | dli: I'm trying that right now... We'll see :) | 15:47 |

| Starman83 | Is there a way to disable xdm ? | 15:55 |
| Starman83 | I don't want it to start every time I boot | 15:55 |
| Narc | dli: I'd try that. What it need is RAM, but I don't even want to try. noapic seems to solve it as far as I can tell... Thanks a lot. | 15:55 |
| dli | Narc, still overheating is the real issue | 15:56 |
| Narc | dli: Do you think the network crash is caused by overheating ? | 15:57 |
| dli | Narc, one possibility | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | StrangeCharm, its started by a service in /etc/init/ rename the xdm.conf or gdm.conf or kdm.conf (or whtgever its called) to gdm.DONTRUN | 16:02 |
| Narc | dli: Is it possible that apic or acpi is "telling" the module to crash, or am I talking nonsense ? | 16:02 |
| dr_willis | StrangeCharm, is on way. using the 'text' kernel boot option will also disable gdm plymouth and the framebuffer I think | 16:03 |

| brickwall | OmegaForte: So, how do I fix it? Thanks for helping. | 16:30 |
| tyler_d | ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia` | 16:30 |
| edbian | MeXTuX: If I were you I would take it out of the case entirely until you do the backup | 16:30 |
| tyler_d | ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia` with an awk and some other stuff | 16:30 |
| OmegaForte | bkerensa, If it was known. It says no_presence. It doesn't see anything on the pin. | 16:30 |
| rumpe1 | MeXTuX, easiest way would be to put the bootloader to sdb from running linux | 16:30 |
| ChogyDan | tyler_d: but you used the gui to reinstall. right? | 16:30 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, Go ahead and try what bkerensa said; He could edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-bas | 16:30 |
| szal | MeXTuX: you should be able to just install Grub to sdb now | 16:30 |
| airyK | I need to make more space available in a specific folder with a second harddrive, but also make use of the current hdd space... Basically I'd like to combine two drives and increase the space of that specific folder. Is this possible ? | 16:30 |
| tyler_d | ChogyDan: you got it | 16:30 |
| dr_willis | csdwifi, you can mounta windows share to a directory via the fstab and it will be writeable to as any othe directory. | 16:30 |
| dabbish | When I open a document with Chinese text in Gedit it comes out like this: "ÑéÖ€ÂëŽíÎó". What can I do to make it display properly? | 16:30 |
| szal | MeXTuX: and while you're at it, just out of curiosity, could you please pastebin 'sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda'? | 16:31 |
| brickwall | OmegaForte: Okay | 16:31 |
| bkerensa | brickwall: Sometimes its alsa-base.conf on newer releases | 16:31 |
| ChogyDan | tyler_d: my last shot in the dark would be to try the beta/alpha drivers in the xorg ppa | 16:31 |
| rumpe1 | dabbish, you probably need the language-pack | 16:31 |
| === dlm_ is now known as dlm | ||
| bkerensa | brickwall: Just make sure to restart alsa | 16:31 |
| rumpe1 | dabbish, search for "zh" in your package manager | 16:32 |
| brickwall | bkerensa: So, what do I edit in it? | 16:32 |
| ChogyDan | tyler_d: like https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 16:32 |
| MeXTuX | szal this is the command output http://paste.ubuntu.com/659394/ | 16:33 |
| dabbish | rumpe1, thanks, I will | 16:33 |
| bkerensa | brickwall: Look for options snd-hda-intel | 16:34 |
| dabbish | rumpe1, SCIM Input Method? | 16:34 |
| zoLevDotCom | Hi! | 16:34 |
| bkerensa | brickwall: If you find it let me know what the full line is on paste.ubuntu.com | 16:34 |
| rumpe1 | dabbish, scim is needed for input, not output | 16:34 |
| tyler_d | ChogyDan: gross. I'm sorry to hear that. the apt-cache rdepends returns only <nvidia-glx> | 16:34 |
| csdwifi | dr willis - it is writable from this machine, it's mountd in nautilus, it's working great. but if, say, i'm downloading locally, nautilus doesn't let me browse to it on the left pane, even if it's mounted and bookmarked. i guess the thing i really should do, to make it simpler, is find a way to run my download services off my wired pc | 16:34 |
| e0s7 | question...if youre connecting to a socks proxy via a ssh box, then use that to tunnel traffic between your browser to another server, does that get logged anywhere in the proxy box?..proxy box is a linux distro | 16:35 |
| antit | hi, anyone try linux on Acer timelineX 4830TG ? | 16:35 |
| dr_willis | csdserver, nautiuls mounts it to the .gvfs directory somewhere.. Using the fstab method would let YOU mount it where you want. | 16:35 |
| dabbish | rumpe1, Normally Chinese displays fine. But this document that I downloaded does not | 16:35 |
| csdwifi | ok, i'll get my feet wet on that, i've worked with fstab a bit earlier today | 16:36 |
| edbian | e0s7: It will log the initial connection but nothing about what data is passed through it. (cat /var/log/auth.log) | 16:36 |
| szal | MeXTuX: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 134 134 140 Pre-fail Always FAILING_NOW 523 <- this thing is through, as it looks.. raw error rate is low, but still, that here's what counts | 16:36 |

| bkerensa | k one sec | 16:36 |
| rumpe1 | dabbish, well... there exist hundreds of different encodings for chinese. Or maybe it's broken. Hard to say. | 16:36 |
| e0s7 | edbian: thanks, and to see traffic they could use wireshark took or something to see what i pass through...the requests but not the payload since its encrypted | 16:36 |

| LiquidsnakeX | thanks bkerensa | 16:39 |

| LiquidsnakeX | i have this compaq presario 2226 CL and i don't have the proper drivers for ubuntu , as it came with windows xp home edition | 16:39 |
| dury | hi there channel ;) | 16:39 |
| LiquidsnakeX | yes i want to try Ubuntu on it | 16:39 |
| airyK | Would I have to mount that using fuse ? | 16:40 |
| t4nk678 | aman, use GDB | 16:40 |
| bkerensa | LiquidsnakeX: Have you already install Ubuntu on it? | 16:40 |
| szal | LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers' | 16:40 |
| Apage43 | So, I've got ubuntu installed on a UEFI system, straight off the 11.04 disk. It's asking me to do a software update, which says it cannot proceed correctly and then wants to do a dist-upgrade which will remove the EFI grub and install a BIOS grub | 16:40 |
| Apage43 | this is probably not right. is there a fix? | 16:40 |
| dr_willis | airyK, fuse is for fancier things.. seems you are just talking abut mounting to a location yu want. | 16:40 |
| aman | t4nk678, can i see every variable value like we see in VS? | 16:40 |
| t4nk678 | yes | 16:41 |
| brickwall | There does not seem to be a /etc/init.d/ type thing | 16:41 |
| LiquidsnakeX | the proper drivers, which will work on ubuntu without any confilct or problem | 16:41 |
| LiquidsnakeX | bkerensa no | 16:41 |
| airyK | Exactly dr_willis, just a single folder... currently I have the second hdd setup with fstab and mounted to my specific folder. In this case /images/ | 16:41 |
| t4nk678 | aman: you have to print them out yourself, of course. | 16:41 |
| szal | LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers' | 16:41 |
| e0s7 | how can i block an ip from trying to connect to my ssh server | 16:41 |
| bkerensa | LiquidsnakeX: You should be ok to just install from cd or USB and if you need drivers just use the additional drivers section once you install Ubuntu and you can grab them | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | airyK, you could mont other drives to /images/disk2 and /images/disk3 and so on. | 16:42 |
| rumpe1 | e0s7, fail2ban | 16:42 |
| aman | t4nk678, i mean like we do in VS, we move cursor over a variable and it shows the value of that variable. | 16:42 |
| dr_willis | e0s7, sshd deamon configs has settings for that. | 16:42 |
| nikk | hello, i just installed the LAMP server using tasksel and php files are downloading instead of displaying, but only in the userdir. what configuration setting am i missing? | 16:42 |
| airyK | I'm not sure if fog will be able to work with that - Everything has to be in that one specific directory | 16:42 |
| e0s7 | can i use hosts.deny? | 16:43 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| e0s7 | or is that just for apache or something | 16:43 |
| t4nk678 | aman: gdb does not have a gui, so no | 16:43 |
| aman | t4nk678, any other options? | 16:43 |
| Hachya | for PHP files downloading is sounds like the host isn't reading the PHP module properly, thus the browser downloads the page.... | 16:44 |
| bkerensa | LiquidsnakeX: I just did a Google for your device and people do run Ubuntu on it out of the box so if you want Ubuntu just install it and if you have any issues IRC & Forums are here day and night :) | 16:44 |
| raptor6768 | hi | 16:44 |
| nikk | Hachya, that seems accurate | 16:44 |
| t4nk678 | aman: I believe eclipse has a plugin for c/c++, give that a try | 16:45 |
| kostik | hi all | 16:45 |
| aman | t4nk678, even i was thinking for the same, but some one told me that is eclipse is good for java only. | 16:45 |
| brickwall | I did alsa force-reload | 16:45 |
| brickwall | And it didn't work | 16:45 |
| Hachya | member:nikk: do you have a PHP info file on the serevr? | 16:46 |
| t4nk678 | aman: you have to get the plugin for c/c++ | 16:46 |
| nikk | Hachya, ok, so apparently, after modifying php.conf, one has to clear the browser cache. | 16:46 |
| t4nk678 | aman: look for DDD | 16:46 |
| nikk | Hachya, it works now. thank you :D | 16:46 |

| nikk | Hachya, love it when the fix is that simple ;) | 16:46 |
| t4nk678 | aman: it's a graphcial debugger for gdb | 16:46 |
| Hachya | nikk: almost never XD | 16:46 |
| bkerensa | brickwall: Very odd... I did some searching and notice people do run into issues sometimes with webcam mics but I encourage you to continue to try and get resolved | 16:46 |

| mrmcgibby | ActionParsnip: When I do that, then run route, it seems that it's still taking too long to decide what nic should be the default route | 17:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | boywonder, i would format your drive to a ext3 | 17:10 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, Try this...http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/archive/alsa-driver-linuxant-1.0.23.1/alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.23.1_all.deb.zip | 17:10 |
| boywonder | [THC]AcidRain, format un possible | 17:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | why? | 17:10 |
| mrmcgibby | fructose: are you sure you need to reboot? Have you tried Ctrl-alt-f1? | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mrmcgibby: well you probably have 2 default gateways defined which confuses things | 17:10 |
| boywonder | im using it on windows | 17:11 |
| iceroot | boywonder: format is a stupid idea, dont listen to that | 17:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh. windows will load a ext3 | 17:11 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: that was the output of the command | 17:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | linux just handles it better | 17:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | iceroot, i format every new drive i get from walmart or bestbuy | 17:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | as soon as i get it | 17:11 |
| iceroot | boywonder: you have a drive which you want to access through the network? | 17:11 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i tried to install smbfs but it didnt work | 17:11 |
| boywonder | yes | 17:11 |
| fructose | mrmcgibby: I can get to console, but it's been useless. It apparently goes down to X, so restarting Unity/Gnome doesn't help | 17:12 |
| iceroot | boywonder: and the drive is running on windows? | 17:12 |
| Scunizi | I'm looking for openstreetmap in the repos and all I see are icon sets.. with perhaps a reference to "maptool".. what am I missing here? | 17:12 |
| boywonder | iceroot, its a network drive | 17:12 |
| iceroot | boywonder: ok from a storage? (nas) | 17:12 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, If that doesn't do you any good, welcome to Known bug/Idea #5537 | 17:12 |
| mrmcgibby | fructose: if you can get to a console, you can look at the logs from there | 17:13 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i dunno what that means i can tell you that i can access the shares in ubuntu | 17:13 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i need to mount it in fstab | 17:13 |
| iceroot | boywonder: ok and you want to permanently mount the drive? | 17:13 |
| iceroot | boywonder: ok | 17:13 |
| brickwall | One second... | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nmvictor: then you have ahci loaded | 17:13 |
| iceroot | boywonder: with what you access the drive from ubuntu? if you access the drive have a look at "mount" if it is nfs or cifs | 17:14 |
| fructose | mrmcgibby: I'm well aware that I have logs... I'm just not aware of how that helps right now. I don't know which one to look in or what to look for | 17:14 |
| boywonder | iceroot, ok | 17:14 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, Here's proof of KNOWN BUG. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/815006 | 17:14 |

| glebihan | Scunizi, what exactly do you need ? openstreetmap is a set of packages containing different applications | 17:14 |
| Zh3ka | hello evryone | 17:14 |
| nmvictor | When my system starts, it dims off, I have to adust brightness back to normal with the fn combination. Suspend and hibernate dont work. I am running Natty with linux-kernel 2.6.38-8-generic on Acer 5734z machine. Is this a BUG? | 17:14 |
| mrmcgibby | fructose: that's the point of looking at logs. If you don't know what's wrong, you can perhaps start nailing now the issue | 17:14 |
| uosiu | Hi again | 17:14 |
| glebihan | Scunizi, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ubuntu | 17:14 |
| Zh3ka | 1 question - can ubuntu run windows games ? | 17:15 |
| uosiu | next step of my problem with file divertions | 17:15 |
| boywonder | iceroot, its cifs | 17:15 |
| mrmcgibby | yes | 17:15 |
| uosiu | http://wklej.org/id/572632/ this is my problem with package with file colission. divertion is activated | 17:15 |
| Scunizi | glebihan: I thought there was one main file for install.. I"ve got a .gpx file I'm trying to open and view the route. | 17:15 |
| nmvictor | ActionParsnip: does ahci module support usb 3.0 too? | 17:15 |
| OmegaForte | Zh3ka, Wine can, but it's hit or miss. Go to appdb.winehq.org and search. | 17:15 |
| iceroot | boywonder: ok, so its using also credentials? | 17:15 |
| iceroot | boywonder: user/password? | 17:15 |
| boywonder | iceroot, yes | 17:16 |
| glebihan | Scunizi, openstreetmap is a data format and database, and there are several applications that can use that data | 17:16 |
| glebihan | Scunizi, have a look at the link I gave you in order to find what package you need to install | 17:17 |
| [THC]AcidRain | what irc client does everyone use? | 17:17 |
| fructose | mrmcgibby: Again, pardon my frustration, but it's pretty useless to be simply told to look in the logs. There are many, many logs in many different locations | 17:17 |
| rww | [THC]AcidRain: ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots | 17:17 |
| Scunizi | glebihan: did.. the link was enlightening.. thanks. I also found that I can open the file in G-Earth as well.. kinda nice.. | 17:17 |
| OmegaForte | rww, What's that off-topic flag? | 17:18 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i think i have the correct page todo this just it installs smbfs for some reason? | 17:18 |
| rww | OmegaForte: I don't understand the question. Rephrase? | 17:18 |
| iceroot | boywonder: //192.168.1.100/music media/Musik cifs credentials=/home/otto/.smbcredentials 0 0 | 17:18 |
| OmegaForte | rww, The dingus that tells the bot that this isn't the off-topic channel. | 17:18 |
| iceroot | boywonder: that is an example for fstab | 17:18 |
| rww | OmegaForte: oh, factoid. !offtopic or !ot | 17:18 |

| acidrain | bestbot lies to me | 17:20 |
| mrmcgibby | fructose: Do you want to solve the problem or not? When it freezes, go into /var/log, find the most recently modified log and see if something useful was recently added. The cause might be a number of things. You might find nothing, you might find something. That's the nature of troubleshooting issues. If I knew what the problem was, then I'd tell you what log to look in, but I don't. | 17:20 |

| [THC]AcidRain | rww is a horrible bot. | 17:22 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, Yeah, the source isn't maintained or this wouldn't be an issue. | 17:22 |
| OmegaForte | [THC]AcidRain, Find a place. | 17:22 |
| brickwall | OmegaForte: So, should I build it from source? | 17:23 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, You could try it. | 17:23 |
| h00k | [THC]AcidRain: rww is not a bot, but #freenode is the proper place to ask. | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | h00k: too funny though | 17:24 |

| === maulana is now known as acehdev-dot-net | ||
| brickwall | OmegaForte: Is it possible to build it and then install it using alien? | 17:27 |
| fructose | KM0201: I don't know why it's freezing. I'm doubtful it's hardware, but have no evidence since I rarely use another OS on it | 17:27 |
| rww | !alien | 17:27 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 17:27 |
| fructose | KM0201: But it has never frozen in anything but 11.04 | 17:27 |
| acehdev-dot-net | brotha how to upgrade kernel ubuntu 11.04 | 17:27 |
| KM0201 | fructose: if it's never froze on anything but 11.04, my first thought would be a problem w/ Unity oor maybe 3D drivers | 17:28 |
| KM0201 | fructose: if you switch to gnome-2d, does this continue to be an issue? | 17:28 |
| fructose | KM0201: I've already switched to Gnome | 17:28 |
| fructose | KM0201: And even before, restarting unity wouldn't always solve it (though it did on a couple occasions) | 17:28 |
| brickwall | rww: Is it possible to build RPMs outside SUSE or Fedora? | 17:28 |
| brickwall | !apt | 17:29 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 17:29 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, I'd just build it against make if possible. But like I'm telling you, it's a known bug. You're probably not going to be able to get much more. But don't be afraid to try stuff, but remember. If you don't take recursive backups, you may be setting up for failure. | 17:29 |
| KM0201 | idunno, very weird | 17:29 |

| fructose | KM0201: Not for me. Don't get me wrong, I've used Ubuntu since Warty, but I've had problems like this with Ubuntu with every computer I've ever owned | 17:30 |
| boywonder | iceroot, so if sudo apt-get install smbfs doesnt install what do i do? | 17:30 |
| fructose | mrmcgibby: The mouse still works, but I can't interact with anything | 17:30 |

| lindenle | Hi all why does installing xubuntu-desktop require me to remove ubuntu-desktop? | 17:31 |
| fructose | KM0201: I'm stubborn I guess | 17:31 |
| fructose | KM0201: And I've had fewer problems with Ubuntu than some | 17:31 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, That's because the source isn't maintained. | 17:31 |
| KM0201 | fructose: i've used it since shortly before Dapper, and i very rarely have problems. | 17:32 |
| brickwall | OmegaForte: Is there another source? | 17:32 |
| mrmcgibby | fructose: yeah, X isn't crashing | 17:32 |
| OmegaForte | brickwall, I didn't find anything. | 17:32 |

| intrader | ActionParsnip, my mistake, I chose the wrong radio button. How do I use usb-creator? | 17:56 |
| ActionParsnip | intrader: run: gksudo usb-creator-gtk | 17:56 |
| seanmc98 | the only thing i can click is exit | 17:56 |
| centr0 | extracting a .tgz file: is it tar -xzvf? | 17:57 |
| wols | seanmc98: we cannot help you with that. it's not ubuntu software. we cannot support some random closed source product | 17:57 |
| felipe_Brz | wols: it's Adobe Flex SDK. There are some .jar files, one .bat, one .exe and one extensionless. | 17:57 |
| wols | centr0: yes | 17:57 |
| centr0 | wols: ty | 17:57 |
| aauthor | Thanks ActionParsnip, do you know if there's a gui for changing the options of metacity? | 17:57 |
| wols | felipe_Brz: lyou can try wine. but we don't know if it actually works | 17:57 |
| boywonder | iceroot, ?? | 17:57 |
| Pici | asteve: Theres a reason that they're called dependencies. | 17:57 |
| seanmc98 | wols what do you mean? the problem i am running into is when i installed ubuntu and gnome started running | 17:57 |
| Pici | boywonder: You need to provide a mountpoint after the share name. | 17:57 |
| felipe_Brz | wols: ok thanks | 17:58 |
| seanmc98 | thats when i was no longer to restore from my partion | 17:58 |
| SmkMnstr | when i highlight in gnome xterm i have to rightclick copy | 17:58 |
| asteve | Pici: i have installed the package required from source | 17:58 |
| SmkMnstr | how do i make it auto copy highlighted? | 17:58 |
| SmkMnstr | ahh gnome-terminal actaully i think | 17:58 |
| iceroot | boywonder: 78.44.x.x sounds like an ip adresse from the internet not from your lan | 17:58 |
| iceroot | boywonder: cifs is not working of the internet | 17:58 |
| wols | seanmc98: so delete ubuntu from disk. format the filesystem of ubuntu with ntfs again. that's all we can tell you. again: we don't know about some random software for windows. we cannot know | 17:58 |
| wols | iceroot: it does. you'd be stupid if you made it work on the internet, but it does work just fine | 17:59 |
| SmkMnstr | oh nevermind | 17:59 |
| SmkMnstr | thers _2_ clipboarsd | 17:59 |
| SmkMnstr | one for middle mouse paste :) | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | aauthor: gconf-editor | 17:59 |
| iceroot | wols: not really because you cant use wins over the internet. maybe cifs is working but not the real samba-deal | 18:00 |
| ruiserra | Hi, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty in my ubuntu 10.04! What is the problem? | 18:00 |
| iceroot | wols: and all the other strange things in a windows-network (netbios and so on) | 18:00 |
| Pici | asteve: You'd need to to dpkg that you've already installed it. The most common way is to use check-install and use a version number higher than the one in the repos. | 18:00 |
| wols | iceroot: WINS is not cifs | 18:00 |
| share | guise | 18:00 |
| wols | iceroot: there is no netbios anymore for years. decades probably | 18:00 |
| boywonder | iceroot, its a static ip | 18:00 |
| jgcampbell300 | hi | 18:01 |
| iceroot | wols: i know wins is not cifs | 18:01 |
| wols | iceroot: you said cifs doesn't work over the internet and supplied WINS as why not. *shrug* | 18:02 |
| boywonder | forget that | 18:02 |
| iceroot | wols: i said the real samba-deal is not working over the internet | 18:02 |
| iceroot | wols: ntlm, wins and so one. | 18:02 |
| iceroot | wols: but cifs is unecrypted isnt it? | 18:03 |
| boywonder | iceroot, wheres my problem? | 18:03 |
| jgcampbell300 | So ... if i change to a directory on a drive like cd /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ and enter "sudo rm -R *.jpg" will it delete all of the jpg's under all the directories from /subdir/ down ? | 18:03 |
| Pici | boywonder: I told you what the problem is already. You didn't specify a mountpoint. | 18:03 |
| boywonder | iceroot, sorry i didnt read that, | 18:04 |
| iceroot | boywonder: the first problem is that the ip cant be reached | 18:04 |
| iceroot | boywonder: ping 78.44.89.154 | 18:04 |
| Pici | jgcampbell300: no. it won't. You'd need to do something like: find /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ -iname "*.jpg" -delete | 18:04 |
| m4v | Ubuntu doesn't allow to install an older version if there's a newer installation in place? | 18:04 |
| gremlin | are there any server admins online at the mo | 18:04 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i can share from that address on my box | 18:04 |
| mega1 | how do i access files on my usb drive | 18:04 |
| iceroot | boywonder: do you want to access a share over the internet? or in your lan? | 18:05 |
| Pici | jgcampbell300: use -print instead of -delete to ensure that its getting the right files though | 18:05 |

| boywonder | iceroot, this is cgoing to get a bit wild for me, i dont have dhcp | 18:07 |
| rossie | hello all | 18:07 |
| iceroot | boywonder: what does dhcp has to do with that? | 18:07 |
| gremlin | so ill be back once ive read up | 18:07 |
| boywonder | i have no internal ips | 18:07 |
| === Ender is now known as JasonO | ||
| iceroot | boywonder: why? | 18:07 |
| rossie | i have installed 11.04 and i am not able to connect to the AES enabled wifi at my college. what to do? | 18:07 |
| iceroot | boywonder: just set some internal ips | 18:07 |
| boywonder | because i havnt got round to setting them up and i dont know how | 18:08 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i think that involves setting up my router from without a page | 18:08 |
| share | what does this mean? "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST" | 18:08 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i did actually change that ip i gave you for safety | 18:09 |
| iceroot | boywonder: you can change wan-ips? | 18:09 |
| iceroot | boywonder: or do you mean just disconnect to get a new one? | 18:10 |
| Pici | iceroot: I think he means he typoed it so we wouldn't have his reall address for some reason | 18:10 |
| iceroot | Pici: ok | 18:10 |
| gremlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/659458/ theres first link if all is done right | 18:10 |
| boywonder | iceroot, whatever that meant, im not savy to altering ips | 18:10 |
| Pici | boywonder: It doesn't make any sense that the computers inside your network all have the same IPs. | 18:10 |
| boywonder | they dont | 18:11 |
| iceroot | boywonder: you should first setup a lan (local area network) | 18:11 |
| iceroot | boywonder: and one ip is connected to the internet. your router will have 2 ips, the internet and a lan ip | 18:11 |
| auronandace | share: man ifconfig and man iwconfig would be a good place to learn | 18:12 |
| gremlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/659461/ hers the .conf for dhcp 3 well mine lol | 18:12 |
| gremlin | here | 18:12 |
| boywonder | iceroot, firstly i get confused with this because theres no settings inside the router to change anything from a screen,each device has its own static ip | 18:12 |
| iceroot | boywonder: the router should have dhcp. the easiest way to create a network | 18:13 |
| boywonder | dhcp is off | 18:13 |
| Pici | iceroot: maybe the typoed address is a public one? | 18:13 |
| iceroot | Pici: it is but he said its a machine inside the lan | 18:13 |
| share | auronandace: sudo ifconfig eth0 -multicast | 18:13 |
| gremlin | http://paste.ubuntu.com/659462/ third | 18:13 |
| gremlin | one | 18:13 |
| share | auronandace: but how can I disable it automatically | 18:14 |
| gremlin | well when i try start i get errors | 18:14 |
| boywonder | was you refering to the 44 in the ip? | 18:14 |
| gremlin | i tink its my syntax | 18:14 |
| iceroot | Pici: so i guess he is using the public ip and because of the nat he cant access the storage in the lan | 18:14 |
| gremlin | lol | 18:14 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, the usb-creator-gtk does not show source of the download. I am doing it with 'Startup Disk Creator' successfully. Now I will try boot | 18:14 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i have nat | 18:14 |
| iceroot | boywonder: can you post the ip-adress of your ubuntu-client? | 18:14 |
| Pici | gremlin: Its a lot easier for us if you ask your question with as much detail as you can all on one line. | 18:14 |
| iceroot | boywonder: or maybe the whole output of "ifconfig" | 18:15 |
| auronandace | share: i'm not sure sorry, there is likely a config file you can edit | 18:15 |

| iceroot | boywonder: that is the wrong setup | 18:16 |
| mega1 | ubuntu | 18:16 |
| iceroot | boywonder: you are using public ips in your lan | 18:16 |
| auronandace | share: i've never used wireshark | 18:16 |
| intrader | ActionParsnip, ah, thanks | 18:16 |
| funky | hi | 18:16 |
| share | auronandace: try it it out ;) | 18:16 |
| share | good to monitor you internetz | 18:17 |
| boywonder | iceroot i have no idea how to change this? | 18:17 |
| iceroot | boywonder: the easiest way is to enable "dhcp" in your router | 18:17 |
| iceroot | boywonder: on the clients you also choose dhcp | 18:17 |
| auronandace | share: i don't need to analyse my network traffic | 18:17 |
| iceroot | boywonder: which is the ubuntu-default | 18:17 |
| boywonder | iceroot, but then my server ip will change~? | 18:18 |
| share | auronandace: ok | 18:18 |
| iceroot | boywonder: all ips inside your lan will change to correct ips, the public ip wont change | 18:18 |

| Rickyboy107 | Does someone know why natty doesnt like an Intel GMA 4500M video card? | 18:21 |
| escott | tazzer, with a bit of work yes. you need shrink the partition to make space for a new one. then do the install at which point you should be able to loop mount the wubi image and copy your files off it | 18:21 |
| Pici | funky: You can look yourself here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 18:21 |
| escott | tazzer, if you aren't comfortable with doing a loop mount you might just want to backup to a different disk | 18:21 |
| funky | Pici: thanks | 18:22 |
| tazzer | haha thanks sounds like a little bit of work but i will look into it. . .wow they weren't kidding when they said ubuntu has a good community | 18:22 |

| Rickyboy107 | i cant see my interface | 18:26 |
| escott | mankeletor, you can try to forcefully add the mode with xrandr but modern monitors should report all possible modes with edid. you can check your xorg.conf to see what the monitor reported its capabilities as | 18:26 |

| Rickyboy107 | I dont understand it KE1AH | 18:34 |
| escott | mankeletor, the linux drivers are just being more conservative about the hardware capabilities. you can try to force the mode with xrandr, just be careful | 18:34 |
| seanmc98 | grub wont allow me to use the recovery partion | 18:34 |
| Pici | RA_drc: you can add -v to have it show what files it's touching,. | 18:34 |

| rww | FallOfSocrates: silly though it sounds, \{ is the special character and { is the normal test string on at least some regex variations. Try replacing the \{ with { | 18:38 |
| seanmc98 | ahh thats true | 18:38 |
| boywonder | iceroot you gonna help | 18:38 |
| KM0201 | seanmc98: i know that, but did you put it on /boot, did yo put it on the mbr of the drive. | 18:38 |
| boywonder | ? | 18:38 |
| RA_drc_ | genii-around: Pici thanks | 18:38 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: gparted is not going to clear the mbr. | 18:38 |
| === RA_drc_ is now known as RA_drc | ||
| FallOfSocrates | rww: Okay, I'll give it a shot. Be right back. | 18:39 |
| mankeletor | escott, i dind't found to much usefull information searhing in google | 18:39 |
| seanmc98 | KM0201, im not sure i followed the install from the live CD all i changed is the partion on where to set it | 18:40 |
| FrozenFire | Is it possible to set up a group, or even just individual user permissions, such that a particular user has complete file access to everything in /home, but not the rest of the system? | 18:40 |
| KM0201 | seanmc98: do you have a /boot partition? | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: i believe there is a CD to boot to kick off the recovery. Possible that the CD expected the recovery partition to be a certain number or somesuch. | 18:40 |
| seanmc98 | honestly i have no clue man | 18:40 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: hmm. | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Restore partitions are annoying | 18:41 |
| escott | FrozenFire, not really. the other uses of the system could chown their own folders to a different group | 18:41 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i agree... | 18:41 |
| edbian | ActionParsnip: i agree... | 18:41 |
| gremlin | just ponering but has any taken a look at my paste it has all the details for first diagnosis | 18:41 |

| JJiilles | sudo xxx ?? | 18:41 |
| escott | JJiilles, why do you want to do that | 18:42 |
| JJiilles | escott: vim plugins | 18:42 |
| nippynell | just installed ubuntu on my ums netbook , how do i get the standard menu | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | JJiilles: gksudo nautilus but your user has full rights over its own $HOME | 18:42 |
| escott | JJiilles, are you trying to install a vim plugin to /usr/share for all users? | 18:42 |
| seanmc98 | KM0201, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659475/ | 18:43 |
| escott | JJiilles, i would caution you against running nautilus under sudo because it would be easy to confuse your nautilus with roots nautilus | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nippynell: log off and change session to ubuntu classic | 18:43 |
| nippynell | thanks | 18:43 |
| KM0201 | seanmc98: are you using wubi? | 18:43 |
| seanmc98 | no | 18:43 |
| escott | JJiilles, you wouldn't want to find that the window you thought you closed stayed open and accidently send your entire system to the recycle bin | 18:43 |
| KM0201 | cuz that shows your NTFS partition as "boot".. | 18:43 |
| JJiilles | I just want to install plugins for vim gehe, and also there's just one user, + im new to linux... as you guys might have figured | 18:44 |
| seanmc98 | i dualboot with wondows | 18:44 |
| seanmc98 | and i have a recovery partion other than that thats it | 18:44 |
| KM0201 | seanmc98: im not really sure what the answer is to be truthful. | 18:44 |
| escott | JJiilles, you should just be able to put those plugins in your .vim folder | 18:44 |
| seanmc98 | KM0201, PM? | 18:44 |
| escott | JJiilles, you don't need root anything | 18:45 |
| yellabs-r2 | hello all | 18:45 |
| FallOfSocrates | rww: "sed -i 's:function (.*?)\((.*?)\)(\n( |){|{):test:g' Debug.php.bak" should match "function thisIsNotAFunction($var){", yes? | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | JJiilles: you can add them to your own users vim folder. No need for higher access | 18:45 |
| yellabs-r2 | is there an fix for the messed up right klick of the gnome trash on the menu below on the right ? | 18:45 |
| mega1 | i am trying to look at a file that is on my usb drive how do i do that | 18:46 |
| yellabs-r2 | dont know how to describe it ... | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mega1: use nautilus | 18:46 |
| escott | mega1, plug it in. open your nautilus/home folder. you should see the usb listed on the left hand section | 18:46 |
| mega1 | nautilus | 18:47 |
| gremlin | can one change channels from here to a more suited one | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Mega1: nautilus is the app which runs when you use the places icon | 18:48 |
| mega1 | this is server 10.04 | 18:48 |
| seanmc98 | KM0201, check your PM please | 18:48 |
| auronandace | gremlin: /join #nameofchannel | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | gremlin: absolutely | 18:48 |
| gremlin | ty | 18:48 |
| gremlin | lol | 18:48 |
| escott | mega1, then manually mount the usb disk (mount /media/usbdisk /dev/sdX#) and cd /media/usbdisk | 18:48 |
| gremlin | so for dhcp troubleshooting any channel suggestions :) | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Mega1: you may have to mount it yourself. Maybe other can advise | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Mega1: escott: its device then mountpoint ;) | 18:50 |
| gremlin | hey all you wonderful linux foondies | 18:50 |
| edbian | gremlin: hello | 18:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Mega1: the mountpoint is a folder and it must exist | 18:51 |
| gremlin | hey | 18:51 |
| rww | FallOfSocrates: no, there's a newline in the regex that isn't in the string, at least. If you're still having issues matching, you might need to do the same with \( and ( (and the close-parens), btw. | 18:51 |

| silvering | hi folks, i upgraded to 11.04 from 9.10 (dont ask) and my mic is not working anymore | 18:53 |
| Bluetegu | Hi there. LibreOffice writer freezes my ubuntu 11.04. Can't do anything except hard reset. Anyone knows what's the solution? | 18:54 |
| mega1 | its not mounting | 18:54 |
| escott | silvering, there are lots of things to check. start with alsamixer and turn the gain up the db boost | 18:55 |
| FrozenFire | escott, They're all my users. I just put different services in different users on my home system for security purposes. I just want to be able to perform tasks on the various service data without having to log into each user. | 18:55 |
| escott | Bluetegu, you can't even switch to tty1? ctrl-alt-f1 | 18:55 |
| Bluetegu | escott, no, nothing. cntrl-alt-f1 or anything similar doesn't work. | 18:55 |
| escott | FrozenFire, then sure just make sure they are all part of the same group, and make sure that is there default group | 18:56 |
| FrozenFire | I suppose I could add my main user to the group of each of the service users. | 18:56 |
| wols | gremlin: you opened several curly braces (for each error message), but never ever closed them | 18:56 |
| RenaKunisaki | anyone know why usb-creator-gtk won't enable the "make startup disk" button? | 18:56 |
| RA_drc | airtonix: i got fusion-icon installed, thanks | 18:56 |

| wols | FrozenFire: then use root (sudo) for doing stuff to them | 18:57 |
| FallOfSocrates | rww: Unfortunately, it's still now working.

| Bluetegu | ubottu, thanks, looking | 18:57 |

| ImTheR00t | like in windows? | 19:03 |
| escott | silvering, there are a lot of things to debug, i would recommend starting at the top and working your way down. make sure that pulse is selecting the right audio input source, then make sure that the decibel gain is maxed out in alsamixer for that input. finally if you are still having problems and you have hda sound you can use hda_analyzer (see the alsa page on debugging hda sound). but without seeing how things are configured its hard | 19:03 |
| escott | to say what is wrong | 19:03 |

| RenaKunisaki | just plain usb-creator seems to not exist, and it does look different (and also not work) if not given an ISO path | 19:17 |
| escott | RenaKunisaki, i think you can specify the iso in the gui tool | 19:17 |
| RenaKunisaki | escott, you can, but if I tried that it just didn't do anything | 19:18 |

| ActionParsnip | iLogic: is it listed in any menus after you type something. Possibly could also use tab followed by enter if one isn't listed | 19:24 |

| ActionParsnip | iLogic: not something i use. I use tweetdeck for chromium | 19:26 |
| KE1HA | +1 on tweetdeck | 19:26 |
| iLogic | ActionParsnip: but dude, it's the default client for ubuntu.. don't you agree it is stupid not to have a keyboard shortcut for seding messages? you have to actually click the button after you type, that is plain stupid | 19:28 |
| ActionParsnip | iLogic: ctrl+enter like in ms outlook maybe.. | 19:28 |
| iLogic | ActionParsnip: tried it all.. just agree with me it is stupid | 19:28 |

| Titanoboa | are you supposed to be able to install software (e.g. flash) when running from LiveCD, or are you not? | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | iLogic: a shortcut would be a smart thing to have especially due to the nature of twitter (text) | 19:30 |
| Titanoboa | that is, without having the actual thing installed | 19:30 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, you can Up to a point. | 19:30 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, more ram = more stuff you can install. | 19:30 |
| iLogic | dr_willis: yes, but now you both will have to agree with it is damn stupid, not just plain stupid | 19:30 |

| dr_willis | iLogic, almost as silly as how long this ranting has been going on.. go file a bug report, or brainstorm idea. check the apps homepage/forums and suggest/search - you may have overlooked somting. | 19:31 |

| Titanoboa | dr_willis: when i open gparted, it lists 3 sda's. the top one called sda1 has a red exclamation thingy. prolly some error? | 19:33 |
| farchord | delectable, yes they do. | 19:33 |
| delectable | wait. you don't know what the bot does yet | 19:33 |
| === vlt_phone is now known as vlt | ||
| farchord | delectable, it could poop chunks of gold, we do not care. | 19:34 |
| iLogic | ActionParsnip: but dont you agree it should be standard? as dr_willis suggested, i'm writing them an angrymail | 19:34 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, if its mounted/in use - ! means you cant modify it. | 19:34 |
| Toph2 | i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them? | 19:34 |
| delectable | farchord: it answers common queries | 19:34 |
| Titanoboa | the warning says "unable to detect file system! possible reasons: file system is damaged, file system is unknown to GParted, The is no file system available (unformatted) | 19:34 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, you have 1 hard drive on this system? any other OS's on it? | 19:34 |
| farchord | delectable, we already have one. | 19:34 |
| delectable | automatically and appropriately | 19:34 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: nope no OS's, only 1 HDD | 19:35 |
| Titanoboa | might be the latter. so how do i format it? (someone else told me to format it too) | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | iLogic: i guess but i found what you needed with websearching which you could have also found. | 19:35 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, id delete them all in gparted, and remake them as you want, then tell the installer to install to them.. OR just delete them all. and start the installer and let it partiton the hd as it wants | 19:35 |
| JJiilles | hey guys, im in a map now with terminal, how do I get to the main directory easely again? | 19:35 |
| Flex | Titanoboa, you don't have XP on it? orginally | 19:35 |
| JJiilles | cd home doesnt work | 19:35 |
| dr_willis | JJiilles, in a map? | 19:36 |
| Titanoboa | Flex: XP got removed along with all my shtuff | 19:36 |
| dr_willis | JJiilles, 'cd' goes to your home dir. | 19:36 |
| Flex | probably not fully | 19:36 |
| JJiilles | thanks!! | 19:36 |
| Flex | dr_willis, does he need to boot from disk rather than use the live CD to fully wipe everything? | 19:36 |
| farchord | Flex, if he has nothing left on the disk, no need... | 19:36 |
| delectable | the bot also reveals next week's winning lottery numbers | 19:37 |
| dr_willis | Flex, if he used fdisk, he could delete everything even if the partions are mounted. :) gparted can prob. delete it all also. | 19:37 |
| Flex | then do that Titanoboa | 19:37 |
| Titanoboa | i've deleted the partitions, now what | 19:37 |
| farchord | delectable: You know, I know that in chinese, there are thousands of words to say 'yes' and only one to say 'no' but we said 'no'. | 19:37 |
| Titanoboa | ^^ | 19:37 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, apply changes,, reboot, start the installer | 19:38 |
| goodtime | heh | 19:38 |
| Titanoboa | okay | 19:38 |
| qzio | is there some trick to get the dash(?) to actually do something? I booted into unity, when I press the super key, the dash pops up, but nothing happens when i type something, it just searches and finds nothing. | 19:38 |
| Titanoboa | with or without livecd | 19:38 |
| Titanoboa | or does it not matter? | 19:38 |
| farchord | Or is it in Japanese.... | 19:38 |
| * farchord thinks.... | 19:38 | |
| delectable | farchord: how about a bot that insults users named "farchord" every time they speak | 19:38 |
| Uchiha_Itachi | #ubuntu_jp | 19:38 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, huh? if you deleted all the disk parittions.. you have nothing on it to boot...... | 19:38 |
| farchord | delectable, that'd be hilaaaarious, but no. | 19:38 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, so you boot the cd.. start the installer... | 19:38 |
| qzio | if i press more apps nothing happens, if i type in gnome-terminal nothing happens etc. | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | yeah but when i've booted the cd, should i choose Try Ubuntu or Install right away | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | @dr_willis: | 19:39 |
| iLogic | ok dudes, chilÃl | 19:39 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, dosent matter.. You can use the live desktop as it installs... play solitare or whatver.. or chat in irc | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | okay | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | good to know, i'll do that. | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | k rebooting cu in a bit ^^ | 19:39 |
| Titanoboa | (thx for all the help so far) | 19:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Play solitaire? Whilst installing? | 19:39 |
| * dr_willis recalls installers from years back that let you Play solitare, or tetris as the os installed.... | 19:40 | |
| Flex | Titanoboa did you apply the changes? | 19:40 |
| dr_willis | YankDownUnder, :) yes.. seen disrots that had that feature. | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | yep i applied it | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | just about to reboot | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | it just says unallocated space btw | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | where the partition was | 19:40 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, then the installer should be able to auto-partition it as needed | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | yay nice | 19:40 |
| KE1HA | LiveCD has two main options, Try Ubuntu, or install UB. The Try UB can be a bit slow if you ahve to download an app that's not on the CD, or you have low system recources (RAM), but works nice for trying things. | 19:40 |
| Titanoboa | k gonna try it | 19:41 |
| YankDownUnder | dr_willis, Yeah - BUT, what's the point? THAT is the time you should either be 1.) Making coffee/tea, drinking beer 2.) Panicking 3.) Stressing out 4.) Explaining to the better half why linux is better than MS Windows | 19:41 |
| Flex | I have a question! Gnome or KDE? :p | 19:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Flex, What version of Ubuntu? | 19:42 |
| edbian | Flex: don't ask | 19:42 |
| auronandace | !poll | Flex | 19:42 |
| ubottu | Flex: 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. | 19:42 |
| Flex | :D | 19:42 |
| Uchiha_Itachi | Flex: fluxbox | 19:42 |
| Flex | i just asked in terms of what someone is using | 19:42 |
| KE1HA | the Install has three options, Auto (use the full disk), Side by Side for Dual boot, and manual, all do the same things, parttition & format. | 19:42 |
| Flex | YankDownUnder latest? | 19:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Flex, Then if it's 11.04, I certainly ain't gonna say nuthin... ;) | 19:43 |
| Flex | lol why not | 19:43 |
| delectable | farchord: how about a bot that periodically sends "Linux is not yet ready for the desktop. Try Windows or Mac OSX instead." | 19:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Flex, It's a battle. | 19:43 |
| Flex | what would you choose? | 19:43 |
| KE1HA | delectable: I'd have to disagree, but this is really OT | 19:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Flex, Personally, and after much testing, neither of the two. | 19:43 |
| Flex | lol | 19:44 |
| farchord | KE1HA, he's just looking for attention. | 19:44 |
| delectable | KE1HA: everything is OT in here | 19:44 |
| delectable | farchord: i'm just letting you know you're an idiot | 19:44 |
| delectable | in a kind way | 19:44 |
| farchord | Whats the xchat command to ignore an individual? | 19:45 |
| YankDownUnder | delectable, That just made my morning mate! Cheers for that! | 19:45 |
| iridium | delectable, selectable, forgettable | 19:45 |
| delectable | farchord: you must be a newbie | 19:45 |
| delectable | iridium: you wouldn't say that if you saw me | 19:45 |
| delectable | i'm not visually forgettable | 19:45 |
| farchord | Nevermind. Found it. | 19:45 |
| delectable | farchord: "never mind" is two words | 19:45 |
| farchord | It's like doing a channel ban. | 19:45 |
| escott | farchord, "/ignore delectable ALL" | 19:46 |
| Flex | delectable would you say it's good to be a newbie or bad? | 19:46 |
| farchord | escott, actually /ignore delectable!*@* | 19:46 |
| delectable | farchord is just jelly | 19:46 |
| delectable | he wishes he could have me | 19:46 |

| KE1HA | mega1: Boot to UB 10.xx then Alt+F2, then sudo do-release-upgrade | 19:53 |
| KE1HA | or, DL the LivdCD then upgrade, works the same both ways. | 19:54 |
| cmanns | So do I still need to do mac address of install client in the pxelinux config symlinked? | 19:54 |
| Toph2 | i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them? | 19:56 |
| Chubcorp | I have a question about mounting a usb, no where can my system find it, but disk utility can. I've tried to find it with sudo fdisk -1 but it only shows the hard drive. Any help? | 19:57 |
| dr_willis | Toph2, does alt-f2 bring up a run dialog? | 19:57 |
| Toph2 | dr_willis,,, it doesn't, no | 19:58 |
| farchord | Chubcorp, what kind of usb device is it? Flash drive? USB HD? | 19:58 |
| Chubcorp | Farchord, Flash | 19:59 |
| dr_willis | Toph2, well you could log out/back in and seeif it helps.. or if you can somehow get to a terminal now try some commands to reset the settings. IF | 19:59 |
| dr_willis | Toph2, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html | 19:59 |
| escott | Chubcorp, the disk utility will tell you what the device is | 19:59 |
| mega1 | escott yes | 19:59 |
| Polah | Could someone guide me through install wxPython2.8.10 on 11.04. The lastest release 2.8.10 release was for karmic and the only version I can get for 11.04 is 2.8.12 | 19:59 |
| farchord | escott, if fdisk doesnt even see it, the disk utility wont | 19:59 |
| Toph2 | dr_willis,,, thanks,, i think this has happened before | 20:00 |
| dr_willis | Toph2, command at console to reset compiz ==> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 | 20:00 |
| chewy | bazhang, still there? | 20:00 |
| dr_willis | we need to get that in a factoid. :) | 20:00 |
| farchord | Chubcorp, do other devices on usb ports work? I mean, I imply you use a port available on your motherboard here | 20:00 |
| escott | farchord, he said he could find it in disk utility. Chubcorp look under the "Volumes" section to the right you should see Device: /dev/... | 20:00 |
| chewy | bazhang, i have installed handbrake for requirements more than features. honestly ogmrip seems much more easy and user friendly. | 20:00 |
| rivertecpc | hol | 20:00 |
| farchord | escott, oh.... my bad | 20:01 |
| n2i | Hi! | 20:01 |
| n2i | Ubuntu can not detect my new Samsung monitor. | 20:01 |
| n2i | How to do it manualy? | 20:02 |
| escott | n2i, what kind of graphics card | 20:02 |
| Chubcorp | Farchord, the port works and everything | 20:02 |
| dr_willis | n2i, desktop system? laptop? | 20:02 |
| n2i | g31 chipset :) | 20:02 |
| n2i | desktop | 20:02 |
| mega1 | can i reinstall ubuntu keeping all my settings | 20:02 |
| pk__ | isn't there any application like PROXIFIER for linux? | 20:03 |
| === sysadamin is now known as sysadamin|away | ||
| farchord | Chubcorp, Id suggest following what escott says then, im still kind of a n00b, was trying to help with the experience I had ^^; | 20:03 |
| n2i | mega1: yes, unless you format /home while reinstalling | 20:03 |
| dr_willis | mega1, backup your /home/ and restore it.. that will restore your users settings.. or if you had your /home/ on a seperate partition. you would just reinstall and NOT format /home/ | 20:03 |
| Chubcorp | Escott, it says /dev/sdd | 20:03 |
| KE1HA | mega1: doing the upg preserves (as much as possible) current user settings. | 20:03 |
| n2i | escott, dr_willis: Can you help me? | 20:03 |
| Alias__ | With what? | 20:04 |
| escott | n2i, what is a g31? is that ati/nvidia/intel... | 20:04 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: should "download updates while installing" and "install third party software" affect the installation in a bad way? i've tried both with and without it but should i prefer one? | 20:04 |
| KE1HA | mega1: However, re-install would wipe anything you had prevously. | 20:04 |
| escott | Chubcorp, then determine what partition you want to mount on sdd | 20:04 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, i always do... | 20:05 |
| n2i | escott: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KPL_SE/#specifications | 20:05 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, it installes updates and some ecxtra packages to begin with, that i always want anyway. | 20:05 |
| KE1HA | try mkdir /media/usb then mount /dev/sdd /media/usb | 20:05 |
| n2i | I think it is Intel chipset | 20:05 |
| Chubcorp | Escott, that worked, thanks so much | 20:06 |
| Titanoboa | ok i guess i'll try with it then | 20:06 |
| escott | n2i, that motherboard doesn't have a video card | 20:07 |
| KE1HA | Thing to remember about mounting external or internal for that matter, is you need somwhere to point the mount too, e.g. a /directory of sorts. | 20:07 |
| Titanoboa | i'm still getting the same error though | 20:07 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: the partition thing didn't seem to work? | 20:07 |
| n2i | escott: yes. But what to do now? | 20:07 |
| Titanoboa | or did i do something wrnog | 20:07 |
| escott | n2i, what is your monitor plugged into | 20:07 |
| dr_willis | Titania, if the installer is having a hard time partionoing that drive.. it could be a faulty drive. | 20:08 |
| n2i | uhm, please wait me a moment, I'm checking it. | 20:08 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: same error with other hard drives too though (and with different IDE's) | 20:08 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, you could try partionng it by hand and leave the first part of the HD in its own partition you dont use i guess. | 20:08 |
| Titanoboa | so it's not the cable nor the physical thing's problem > | 20:08 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, could be some deeper issues then. whats the exact error message? | 20:09 |
| n2i | escott: Samsung Syncmaster 933 | 20:09 |
| Titanoboa | i've typed it a few times on here but i don't have it visible atm | 20:09 |
| Titanoboa | if you scroll up you'll find it, do ctrl-f and ext4 i guess | 20:09 |
| dr_willis | You could try making partions via gparted, and then install to them. | 20:09 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: sure im willing to try that | 20:09 |
| MistaMaze | hi | 20:09 |
| Krakish | Evening lads any dedicated channel for ubuntu server ? | 20:09 |
| dr_willis | also check 'dmesg' commands output see if it mentions any failures on the HD. | 20:10 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: i remember doing that with you and it had one damaged thing | 20:10 |
| Titanoboa | like a week ago or two | 20:10 |
| KE1HA | Krakish: ubuntu-server | 20:10 |
| Titanoboa | on here | 20:10 |
| escott | n2i, still not the right answer | 20:10 |
| n2i | escott: Why not? My monitor model is Samsung SyncMaster 933 | 20:11 |
| escott | n2i, what kind of video card do you have | 20:11 |
| MistaMaze | i got a new sandy brigde, used meerkat before and tried oneiric because of besser sandy bridge support... is it possible to have oneiric installed (or natty) and make use of gnome2 feeling from meerkat? | 20:11 |
| MistaMaze | -besser +better | 20:12 |
| n2i | escott: Oh, I'm sorry! I have no any video card. | 20:12 |
| escott | MistaMaze, you might try something like xubuntu | 20:12 |
| dr_willis | !classic | MistaMaze | 20:12 |
| ubottu | MistaMaze: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 20:12 |
| dr_willis | MistaMaze, theres not going to be a classic gnome in 11.10. | 20:12 |
| escott | n2i, then buy one | 20:12 |
| astraljava | MistaMaze: I would think that the kernel is what provides the support, so why not try to install a newer kernel on maverick? | 20:13 |
| n2i | I cannt set mode: 1368x768, ubuntu auto set mode: 1024x768 | 20:13 |
| n2i | escott: :( | 20:13 |
| wols | n2i: checked your Xorg.0.log already? | 20:13 |
| wols | n2i: and ran read-edid? | 20:13 |
| cmanns | So I downloaded entire net install folder for ubuntu pxe install without media, i click install (enter) and it just goes blank. No network IO, I put the symlinked to default mac file in pxelinux.cfg folder, I replaced the partial tftp setup, yet still no gold | 20:13 |
| n2i | wols: not yet | 20:14 |
| MistaMaze | ok, so i have to use natty and use the classic login | 20:14 |
| KE1HA | Or usr a diffrent desktop alltogether, KDE, Xub, xfce etc etc | 20:15 |
| n2i | wols: read-edid? what is that? | 20:15 |
| escott | astraljava, MistaMaze it is more complex than just the kernel. the entire gem/mesa stack needs to match the kernel | 20:15 |
| MistaMaze | is there no possibility to use classic gnome2 in oneiric, because i also want to use "newer" programs | 20:15 |
| dr_willis | MistaMaze, theres not going to be a classic gnome in 11.10. | 20:15 |
| escott | MistaMaze, gnome 3 has a different fallback mode. using gnome 3 core, but no effects | 20:15 |
| rww | MistaMaze: GNOME 2 does not exist in oneiric. So no. | 20:15 |
| astraljava | escott: Okay, I wouldn't really know that much about it. Just a suggestion. Thanks for correcting me! | 20:15 |
| rww | also, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric stuff. | 20:16 |
| MistaMaze | yeah, tried xfce, fvwm, awesome, gnome3-shell and unity the last week, nothing is that good like good ol gnome2 | 20:16 |
| n2i | Output VGA1 has no monitor section: What does it mean? [Xorg.0.log] | 20:16 |
| wols | n2i: it's a program | 20:16 |
| MistaMaze | how can i use the gnome3 fallback mode? (without gnome-shell) | 20:17 |
| MistaMaze | or is it possible to add gnome-panal to gnome3? | 20:17 |
| rww | MistaMaze: again, #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support | 20:17 |
| KE1HA | MistaMaze: oficially speaking, it's not going to be there, but Im sure there will be 3rd party collections, ppa's etc. just have to wait fer the release. | 20:17 |
| Krakish | how can i share my internet like this internet--myubuntu--wlan and continue to use my ubuntu as desktop ? | 20:18 |
| rww | !ics | Krakish | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Krakish: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 20:18 |
| MistaMaze | ok, thanks all !!! | 20:18 |

| bigproblems | sorry guys im jsust getting frustrated after 3 days of this mess. basically when i click install on ubuntu it goes thru the steps, and when ir reboots i am getting a grub error no disk found | 20:24 |
| escott | Dexo, you need to set the execute permission on your exe then just double-click | 20:24 |
| wols | cmanns: read the docs more careuflly and think more before you type and ask here, so you clearly and concisely lay out the problem | 20:24 |
| Dexo | oh ok | 20:24 |
| cmanns | Well the problem is no matter what I change it boots ubuntu loader, says install and what not. Click install, pewf nothing. | 20:25 |
| wols | bigproblems: that's not the exact error. and you haven't answered KE1HA either. try again | 20:25 |
| Dexo | i had vista on an old laptop that had 512mb ram so i just installed ubuntu over it | 20:25 |
| escott | bigproblems, have you tried manually installing grub following instructions in !grub? | 20:25 |
| KE1HA | Dexo: then when you DL a WinDoze .exe or .bin, right click -- then properties, sekect executable, then right click again and use wine to install. | 20:25 |
| Dexo | if a program doesnt work with wine would be trying the Mac version of the program be the best choice? | 20:26 |
| bigproblems | the old XP on this system was cooked so i used ubuntu to wipe it all and have a ubuntu system only. but something muist have went wrong miserably | 20:26 |
| n2i | wols: I dont know what to to next | 20:26 |
| === noname is now known as Guest84769 | ||
| wols | Dexo: do you happen to have a Mac emulator? | 20:26 |
| KE1HA | Dexo: Wine will then be under APplications, then it looks, feels and works like WinDoze Program Files | 20:26 |
| bigproblems | escott yes, but i just keep hitting brick walls of errors that lead to nowhere | 20:27 |
| escott | Dexo, no. if you must run the program consider using virtualbox and running a vm | 20:27 |
| ironm | good evening - can you give me a tip please where to find a howto for creating debian packages from Ubuntu's git-repositories? - Thank you in advance | 20:27 |
| wols | ironm: do these git repos give you a debian/ directory when you pull them? | 20:27 |
| Dexo | no i do not have a ac emulator | 20:28 |
| wols | Dexo: then how would a mac binary work again? | 20:28 |
| Dexo | idk | 20:28 |
| Sub_Zero | So I'm going to test a game 'Westward IV' on mac via PearPC and the windows version with Wine. Anyone have any speculations to which is going to run better? | 20:28 |
| KE1HA | You can do it with Fusion, but that's OT here. | 20:28 |
| ironm | I will check it wols .. thank you very much | 20:28 |
| escott | bigproblems, so far all you have described is a rather general grub installation issue. you need to give us more specifics about your system setup and what errors you have seen. have you ever gotten different errors? have you gotten weird messages when trying to do grub-install? how many and what size disks do you have? what kind of partition do you have? | 20:28 |
| ironm | wols, what is the git's url ? | 20:29 |
| wols | ironm: how would I know. You talked about them. I don't even know if they exist | 20:29 |
| KE1HA | http://git-scm.com/ | 20:29 |
| fowl | i think my mouse stopped left clicking | 20:29 |
| escott | Sub_Zero, wine should work better | 20:29 |
| ironm | thank you KE1HA :) | 20:29 |
| fowl | lol it did | 20:29 |
| wols | KE1HA: that's not a ubuntu git-repository like he spoke of | 20:29 |
| KE1HA | Oh, sri | 20:30 |
| ironm | wols, I guess they should exist ;) | 20:30 |
| cmanns | wols, you see I've been reading the doc's | 20:30 |
| Sub_Zero | escott: What's your reasoning? | 20:30 |
| dfcnvt | Wow, that's a lot of user. | 20:30 |
| escott | Sub_Zero, pearpc emulates the powerpc architecture, wine just emulates system calls | 20:30 |
| wols | ironm: you need to recheck your guesses | 20:30 |
| KE1HA | SHould have read more, have three boxes going here Dooh!! | 20:30 |
| Dexo | whoa, everything just went blackand white and skype hungup | 20:30 |
| Dexo | whoa. | 20:31 |
| cmanns | I think I just need help with a base pxelinux.cfg config. The default seems rather bare. | 20:31 |
| Dexo | wtf, ubuntu keeps making my screen black and white then freezeing | 20:32 |
| astraljava | ironm: Generally, ubuntu stuff is in bazaar repositories, managed inside launchpad. Debian is the one that uses git, and in some rare (and old) cases, svn. | 20:33 |
| Dexo | but then come back to normaly in like 2 minutes | 20:33 |
| agentorange2208 | Hello every one Im new here | 20:33 |
| Polah | Is there any program that will allow me to save form information in PDFs successfully? I have a PDF with embedded forms and I've tried multiple readers/editors like Adobe Reader, Foxit, the default document viewer and xpdf. They either don't let me fill out the forms or when they do let me they fail to save the information entered. | 20:33 |
| OmegaForte | astraljava, Ahhh...SVN's. I remember those days. Check out, ./configure, make and makeinstall.. | 20:33 |
| agentorange2208 | Can any one give me a good site for ubuntu customizations of the GUI? | 20:34 |
| Dexo | compiz | 20:34 |

| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, I'm probably the only maintainer of Emerald, so you tell me what you want it to look like. | 20:34 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, I'll see about making it happen. | 20:34 |
| ironm | thank you astraljava .. are bazaar repositories another "thing" than git-repos ? | 20:34 |
| astraljava | OmegaForte: I was shocked, moving into a new job 5 weeks ago, to learn they still store all code in svn. Together with another up-to-date developer, we're now starting the migration to git. But that's OT, so no more of that. | 20:34 |
| agentorange2208 | IDK I guess I have to look at some screen shots OmegaForte | 20:35 |

| cmanns | Anyone else can help with getting ubuntu installing? | 20:35 |
| ironm | thanks a lot astraljava :) | 20:35 |
| agentorange2208 | Just burn to a CD and do a clean install is easiest | 20:35 |
| astraljava | ironm: No prob. :) | 20:36 |
| Polah | digilib: Thanks, I'll give it a try. | 20:36 |
| astraljava | cmanns: I'd imagine you have a problem with that, so what is it? | 20:36 |
| agentorange2208 | though I had to install 10.4 first then upgrade it to wprk properly | 20:36 |
| agentorange2208 | you know I have never used IRC before today | 20:37 |

| agentorange2208 | thx | 20:38 |
| patri91 | error_reporting isnt running to me in apache with php5 | 20:38 |
| KE1HA | patri91: probably a quesiton best asked in ubuntu-server | 20:39 |
| patri91 | in php.ini is turned on, but in phpinfo i see that is turned off | 20:39 |
| agentorange2208 | Cool OmegaForte | 20:39 |
| agentorange2208 | I think I have to wait untill I do an upgrade though | 20:39 |

| agentorange2208 | I have a 128GB AGP Nvidia card | 20:40 |
| rww | xxy: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, please | 20:40 |

| farchord | agentorange2208, 128gb!? Holy hell! :) | 20:40 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, Yeah you're gonna need a 7000~GT or higher to run emerald as I build it. | 20:40 |
| patri91 | i dont know why i see an 500 error insted of php errors | 20:40 |
| agentorange2208 | this is my linux box with an old P4 | 20:40 |
| asteve | farchord: back in the day i had 128mb! | 20:40 |
| KE1HA | I want one of those GPU cards 128GB that's impressive ! | 20:40 |

| agentorange2208 | trying to learn linux better now | 20:41 |
| patri91 | and i dont know why i cant see errors in apache | 20:41 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, Well, I idle in here, so when you figure out and get updated and such, let me know what you want. | 20:41 |
| agentorange2208 | I have a tripple boot of Mint 11, Back Track 5 and Ubuntu 11.4 | 20:41 |
| agentorange2208 | ok cool thx Omega | 20:41 |
| jakemp | I don't suppose there is a way to get a notification once a makefile finishes building something? | 20:41 |
| agentorange2208 | any one play Guild wars here? | 20:42 |
| escott | jakemp, make && command_to_notify_you | 20:42 |
| bzyrox | haresh: more info? | 20:42 |
| jakemp | /facepalm | 20:42 |
| KE1HA | agentorange2208: the ubuntu manual is a good place to start, lots of basics, and gets into the intermediate levels, all Ubuntu of course. | 20:42 |
| escott | jakemp, that would only notify on success, ; to notify no matter what | 20:42 |
| n2i | Thank all! | 20:42 |
| Dexo | is 512mb ram with ubuntu10.04 enoguh for compiz fusion? | 20:42 |
| agentorange2208 | where do I DL that at? | 20:42 |
| agentorange2208 | also can I bookmark this chat room? | 20:43 |
| farchord | Dexo, doubtful, if it does work it wont run well. | 20:43 |
| jakemp | is there a command that will cause the icon for a terminal to make a noise like IRC does when someone pings me? | 20:43 |
| agentorange2208 | new to irc, running xchat here | 20:43 |
| etfb | A recent dbus update has apparently trashed my Thinkpad's multimedia keys - volume control, brightness control, suspend-on-close and so on. Is that a known problem? | 20:43 |
| jakemp | *wobble and make a noise | 20:43 |
| trism | jakemp: ubuntu provides in the default ~/.bashrc since 10.10 an alert alias, you can do: command; alert and it will notify you when it is done | 20:43 |
| KE1HA | agentorange2208: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 20:43 |
| agentorange2208 | thx | 20:43 |
| Dexo | oh now im sad | 20:43 |
| jakemp | awesome | 20:43 |
| Reaper | so does anyone know how to update my dvd/cd rom drivers? | 20:44 |
| escott | Reaper, they are part of the kernel... why do you need them updated | 20:44 |
| wols | Reaper: a new kernel. but generally, there aren't new drivers for that kind of device in there | 20:44 |
| dr_willis | Reaper, you mean the BIOS on your optical drive? | 20:44 |
| wols | Reaper: what is your real problem? | 20:44 |
| Reaper | not sure if they need updated but ever since I installed ubuntu my cd rom wont work. | 20:45 |
| etfb | agentorange2208, right-click #ubuntu in the left-hand sidebar and add it to Favourites. That should work, I think. | 20:45 |
| wols | Reaper: how is it connected to your PC? | 20:45 |
| Reaper | its in a laptop | 20:45 |
| wols | Reaper: try again. this time actually answering the question | 20:45 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: i kind of feel like giving up. | 20:45 |
| Reaper | inside the laptop? | 20:45 |
| agentorange2208 | it only has remove so I guess it saves auto? | 20:45 |
| Titanoboa | same error. switched places of the CD and HD | 20:46 |
| BluesKaj | Reaper, what kind of disk isn't playing ? | 20:46 |
| agentorange2208 | Im looking at going AMD for this Ubuntu box upgrade | 20:46 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, so you cant even mkfs.ext4 the hard drive? it fails with some error? | 20:46 |
| agentorange2208 | Microsoft got me turned | 20:46 |
| Titanoboa | just wish i could use flash and download just one small app with the LiveCD | 20:46 |
| Reaper | ive tried a few, a xp pro disk and a back track disk | 20:46 |
| etfb | agentorange2208, which version of xchat are you using? I'm on 2.8.8 and it has a Favourites option in the context menu. | 20:46 |
| agentorange2208 | I dont even want their processors in my new machine...lol | 20:47 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: i'll try that again and tell you what it says. it didn't give me an error but a Warning | 20:47 |
| agentorange2208 | etfb- yeah i go tthe same one | 20:47 |
| wols | agentorange2208: please stay on topic. microsoft cpus are offtopic. thank you | 20:47 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: what's the full command again | 20:47 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, you mean mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ? | 20:47 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, Microsoft doesn't make processors. They make software. Which often is largely based on unix. | 20:47 |
| haresh_ | hey guys ned help cant connect to wireless nr internet using cable | 20:47 |
| Titanoboa | k doing it | 20:48 |
| Reaper | think it could be the cd drive just going bad? | 20:48 |
| wols | haresh_: wlan working? iwlist wlan0 scan | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | Reaper, what about cd or dvd? | 20:48 |
| Reaper | havent tried that yet but I will when I get home | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj | music or video in other words , Reaper | 20:49 |
| Reaper | nah, just data so far | 20:49 |
| agentorange2208 | any one know how to flash bios in ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: it says Writing inode tables:done, Creating journal (x blocks): done, Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: Warning, had trouble writing out superblocks.done | 20:49 |
| agentorange2208 | on an intel CPU | 20:49 |
| wols | agentorange2208: not doable. use freedos | 20:49 |
| Titanoboa | and then it just stops | 20:49 |
| agentorange2208 | can it be used in ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, You flash a bios with a bios flasher, and most modern bioses can be flashed from within the bios, or during the post (2008~ and up) | 20:49 |
| escott | Titanoboa, have you checked the smart status of the drive | 20:49 |
| Titanoboa | escott: no | 20:50 |
| wols | agentorange2208: FreeDOS is a full operating system. MSDOS clone | 20:50 |
| agentorange2208 | this is a 2003 machine | 20:50 |
| haresh_ | wols, wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Network is down | 20:50 |
| escott | Titanoboa, you can find it in the disk utility | 20:50 |
| wols | haresh_: what wlan chip do you have? | 20:50 |
| agentorange2208 | can it be run in ubuntu though? | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, never seen sich a warning befor. i think it normally makes a backup copies of the superblocks. could be one copy failed.. as a 'warning' and that warning status is making he installer fail. | 20:50 |
| haresh_ | wols, how do i check tha | 20:50 |
| Titanoboa | escott: how do I open that? | 20:50 |
| agentorange2208 | like in a bash or some thing? | 20:50 |
| Reaper | I guess worse case I have a external cd I can hook up to get another os on. I did have mint on here and it worked fine. Switched to ubuntu to get vbox on | 20:50 |
| dr_willis | Titania, you could start the installer and tell it to NOT format the / partition. (sda1) | 20:51 |
| rww | agentorange2208: as wols' comment "not doable." implied, no. | 20:51 |
| Titanoboa | dr_willis: probably since MB won't talk to my HD? | 20:51 |
| OmegaForte | agentorange2208, You dn't run it IN ubuntu. You run it outside of ubuntu, like booting the life CD. | 20:51 |
| wols | dr_willis: has he ever run a long SMART test on the disk? | 20:51 |
| agentorange2208 | ok I understand now | 20:51 |
| Reaper | brb | 20:51 |
| wols | haresh_: lspci -nn | 20:51 |
| agentorange2208 | thx | 20:51 |
| dr_willis | Titanoboa, it has been talking to it.. since you just formated it... | 20:51 |
| aashu_dwivedi_ | I installed python 2. 5 on my system which was having 2.7 too . and now running python would just give me python2.5 how to fix ? | 20:51 |
| KE1HA | agentorange2208: FreeDos is a live CD, here's more info on it: http://www.freedos.org/ | 20:51 |
| dr_willis | wols, its an ide disk. not sure if those even do smart. | 20:51 |
| agentorange2208 | but its a dell and they prepack the file | 20:51 |
| escott | Titanoboa, it is in the live cd. my guess is you have bad blocks on the disk at exactly where it wants to put the superblock | 20:51 |
| Titanoboa | did I format it though? D: when? | 20:51 |
| aashu_dwivedi_ | the output of the whereis command is python: /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2.6 /etc/python /etc/python2.7 /etc/python2.6 /usr/lib/python2.7 /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.5 /usr/local/bin/python2.5-config /usr/local/lib/python2.5 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.6_d /usr/include/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.7_d /usr/share/python /usr/sha | 20:51 |

| stephenh | Guest60066: using crossover | 21:24 |
| wols | Guest60066: winetricks | 21:24 |
| dr_willis | Guest60066, see the wine app database and the winetricks site/gudes and #winehq | 21:24 |
| Guest60066 | I just need to run Portal | 21:24 |
| edbian | haresh_: Are you gonna ping google or not? | 21:24 |
| wols | Guest60066: appdb.winehq.org | 21:24 |
| haresh_ | edbian, i do get reply | 21:25 |
| wildint | I have an 8.04 server, at the local console for some reason I can login with just pushing enter for the password | 21:25 |
| stephenh | so mac software on linux? no opinion? better to use windows software with wine? | 21:25 |
| wildint | but it does have a password and does require it for sudo | 21:25 |
| edbian | haresh_: alright then :) ip config do you have an address ? | 21:25 |
| dr_willis | stephenh, i would imagine the wine route. has a lot better chance of success | 21:25 |
| wols | stephenh: we don't do polls. ask a ubuntu support question | 21:25 |
| stephenh | dr_willis: i'm thinking so | 21:25 |
| Guest60066 | Hmm | 21:25 |
| stephenh | just thought i'd ask before making it happen | 21:25 |
| Guest60066 | How do I use winetricks? | 21:25 |
| Guest60066 | I already have it installed | 21:25 |
| haresh_ | edbian, yeah | 21:26 |
| stephenh | hadn't heard of sheepsaver before now | 21:26 |
| wols | Guest60066: then run it | 21:26 |
| edbian | haresh_: sorry, I made a typo. The correct command to run is sudo ifconfig -a | grep inet addr | 21:26 |
| Success | someone sadi my name | 21:26 |
| dr_willis | run it... tell it to install what you need Guest60066 | 21:26 |
| Success | what dr willis | 21:26 |

| Guest60066 | I've looked | 21:26 |
| Success | DR_WILLIS | 21:26 |
| Success | what do u want | 21:26 |
| dr_willis | winetricks is a command/tool you use.. and yes it does have some directx stuff .. | 21:26 |
| wols | Guest60066: then there is no way. and you usually don't need it either | 21:26 |
| stephenh | lol :d | 21:26 |
| stephenh | :D | 21:26 |
| Guest60066 | Ok | 21:26 |
| edbian | haresh_: I'm a mess :P sudo ifconfig does eth0 come up ? | 21:27 |
| Guest60066 | So, What do I need to do exactly? | 21:27 |
| wols | Guest60066: you need to go to appdb.winehq.org | 21:27 |
| dr_willis | Guest60066, #1. go to the wine app database and look up the game.. normally they tell you what is needed | 21:27 |
| stephenh | edbian: ip addr show might be easier ;) | 21:27 |
| haresh_ | edbian, yea | 21:27 |
| Guest60066 | It's not on there | 21:27 |
| wols | Guest60066: you are wrong | 21:27 |
| edbian | haresh_: what is the ip address for that interface? What is the ip of the router? | 21:27 |
| Guest60066 | How am I wrong? | 21:28 |
| edbian | stephenh: :P thanks | 21:28 |
| KE1HA | if DirextX wasn't a part of wine, wine would be nearly usless. | 21:28 |
| wols | Guest60066: appdb has a portal and a portal 2 entry. | 21:28 |
| ruiserra | So, the command "sensors" it's work | 21:28 |
| Guest60066 | Hmm | 21:28 |
| haresh_ | edbian, noting | 21:28 |
| edbian | haresh_: noting ? | 21:29 |
| ruiserra | how do I code in C to read the temperature? | 21:29 |
| wols | ruiserra: use popen? | 21:29 |
| ruiserra | popen? | 21:29 |
| haresh_ | edbian, yeah i am connected to the net using my mobile and when i plug in my internet cable it als dont sho any thing | 21:29 |
| wols | ruiserra: there is also a libsensors I think | 21:29 |
| stephenh | edbian: what are you trying to do | 21:29 |
| Guest60066 | Alright | 21:30 |
| Guest60066 | I'm doing it now | 21:30 |
| wols | ruiserra: but how do you know which of the many temps there are snsors for is the one for CPU, for northbridge, etc? | 21:30 |
| edbian | stephenh: He needs to get online (wired or wireless). He plugged it in, he says the lights come on. | 21:30 |
| stephenh | ok | 21:30 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo ifconfig if eth0 is listed tell me the ip address it has | 21:30 |
| edbian | haresh_: Do you know the ip address of the router? | 21:30 |
| stephenh | look at /var/log/messages and see what it shows when plugging | 21:30 |
| stephenh | would atleast be a start if dhcp client is failing etc | 21:31 |
| edbian | stephenh: good idea | 21:31 |
| wols | haresh_: you need to decide if you want to go online via ethernet, wireless or 3G... | 21:31 |
| haresh_ | edbian, yeah i do | 21:31 |
| astraljava | ruiserra: I'm pretty sure you would get better answers (not dissing wols in any way here, mind you) on #ubuntu-app-devel. :) | 21:31 |
| Guest60066 | Does it matter If Portal isn't on my steam account? | 21:31 |
| edbian | haresh_: then tell me the ip address of eth0 and the router | 21:31 |
| haresh_ | wols, i wanan use my wirless | 21:31 |
| stephenh | haresh_: tail -f /var/log/messages, then plug in the ethernet cable | 21:31 |
| OmegaForte | Guest60066, We don't support piracy, and Portal is only avaliable through steam./ | 21:31 |
| wols | Guest60066: then how did you buy it in the first place? | 21:31 |
| stephenh | haresh_: just use network manager then to connect..? | 21:31 |
| wols | haresh_: then don't talk about 3G or ethernet | 21:32 |
| Guest60066 | It wasn't piracy | 21:32 |
| Guest60066 | I just moved it from my old windows pc | 21:32 |
| OmegaForte | Guest60066, You need steam to play that game. Install winetricks and install steam through it. | 21:32 |
| Guest60066 | Ok | 21:32 |
| Guest60066 | That | 21:32 |
| wols | haresh_: tell the people who help you like edbian what you actually need to accompliss. he's been trying to help you with your ethernet for the last 15 minutes | 21:32 |
| Guest60066 | 's What I'm doing | 21:32 |
| haresh_ | wols, i am sorry | 21:33 |
| winut | when you say you don't support piracy, does that mean that you don't even pay the pirates!! lol | 21:33 |
| wols | winut: too many ninjas here. so there can't be any pirates | 21:33 |
| KE1HA | lol | 21:33 |

| haresh_ | edbian, Can u please help me with my wireless | 21:33 |
| edbian | haresh_: alright sure | 21:33 |
| OmegaForte | winut, Not only do I not pay them, I chase them around with squirtguns! | 21:33 |
| stephenh | lol ;p | 21:33 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo iwlist scan (does it list networks?) | 21:34 |
| wols | edbian: last paste I got from him: http://paste.ubuntu.com/659542/ | 21:34 |
| wols | edbian: it's a centrino 1000 wlan chip | 21:34 |
| edbian | wols: Is there any reason he can't get on that network? How the heck did he pastebin this? he says he can't get online? | 21:35 |
| wols | edbian: beats me... I thought he had problems via nm, and I don't do nm since it's evil and gives me bad kharma | 21:35 |
| haresh_ | edbian, it says | 21:35 |
| haresh_ | edbian, it says wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down | 21:36 |
| edbian | wols: different from the pastebin... | 21:36 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo rfkill list | 21:36 |
| edbian | haresh_: Is anything blocked? | 21:36 |
| DANYAL | how to convert file from mac format to dos format in ubuntu | 21:36 |
| bazhang | DANYAL, format of what | 21:37 |
| dr_willis | DANYAL, you are refering to a text/ascii file? | 21:37 |
| haresh_ | edbian, blocked ? | 21:37 |
| edbian | haresh_: run sudo rfkill list and it will tell you if anything is blocked. | 21:37 |
| DANYAL | dr_willis yes | 21:37 |
| === skrewler_ is now known as skrewler | ||
| boywonder | how can i test to see what connection i have, and what connections i can close, ive got a funny feeling ive got an intruder? | 21:38 |
| dr_willis | since os-x is 'bsd' underneeth. I though the text files would be the same as on linux. ie: cr/lf at the ends of hte lines and so forth. | 21:38 |
| iceroot | boywonder: netstat | 21:38 |
| edbian | boywonder: read about netstat | 21:38 |
| DANYAL | dr_willis is it possible or not | 21:38 |
| boywonder | iceroot, i have loads of conections in there | 21:38 |
| wols | boywonder: sudo netstat -anp |less but usually you don't see the intruder due to rootkits | 21:38 |
| iceroot | boywonder: if you only want to see ssh conections, use "w" | 21:38 |
| DANYAL | to convert mac format to simple english format | 21:39 |
| wols | DANYAL: tried unixtodos ? | 21:39 |
| dr_willis | DANYAL, from my little knowledge of os-x- its allready 'converted' to linux format. | 21:39 |
| haresh_ | edbian, nope noting is blocked | 21:39 |
| dr_willis | DANYAL, theres numerous unix to dos and visa versa tools | 21:39 |
| DANYAL | im using ubuntu/linux | 21:39 |
| edbian | haresh_: is says no everywhere? Alright, what card do you have? | 21:39 |
| wols | DANYAL: what is your actual problem? | 21:39 |
| haresh_ | edbian, how do i check that | 21:39 |
| DANYAL | wols i have script in mac format i want to convert in simple english format | 21:40 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo lspci -k | 21:40 |
| edbian | haresh_: It is a lot of output | 21:40 |
| wols | DANYAL: "simple english format" is gibberish. try again | 21:40 |
| bazhang | DANYAL, script that does what | 21:40 |
| wols | DANYAL: and what is "mac format" in the first place? | 21:40 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo lspci | grep Network might be clearer | 21:40 |
| DANYAL | ^?ELF^A^A^A^@^ | 21:40 |
| wols | DANYAL: that looks like the beginning of an ELF binary | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | DANYAL, ELF = a binary executable | 21:40 |
| DANYAL | this type wording in script (^?ELF^A^A^A^@^) | 21:40 |
| dr_willis | its not a text file. | 21:41 |
| boywonder | wols, nothing is generally happening just system seems just a little slower(not much)? | 21:41 |
| haresh_ | edbian, 05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 1000 Series | 21:41 |
| wols | DANYAL: it's not a script. it's a compiled program | 21:41 |
| edbian | wols: Oh yeah, you told me that :P | 21:41 |
| DANYAL | Hmmm wols is it possible to recover ? | 21:41 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo lspci -k what driver is in use for the device? What modules are available? | 21:41 |
| winstonw | ok $1billion questoin of the day, how do i disable notifications in xfce? | 21:42 |
| wols | DANYAL: recover what? | 21:42 |
| OmegaForte | wols, How much memory does your desktop eat? I wanna see how well I've cleaved the fat off. | 21:42 |
| haresh_ | edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659558/ | 21:43 |
| wols | edbian: iwlagn. and it's built into ubuntu. the only question if the right firmware is there for it to work | 21:43 |
| wolter | can I see, without logging out, a list of the users which are displayed in the login screen? | 21:43 |
| edbian | haresh_: how did you just pastebin ? | 21:43 |
| Eduard | Hello everyone | 21:43 |
| edbian | wols: what firmware packages are there? | 21:43 |
| haresh_ | edbian, yea | 21:43 |
| wols | OmegaForte: I don't know and I don't care. counting bits on a virtual memory system is foolish | 21:43 |
| edbian | haresh_: yea? How?! | 21:43 |
| paulo | hello | 21:44 |
| OmegaForte | wols, Jeez. I just wanted something to compare my work to.. | 21:44 |
| OmegaForte | wols, Sorry for bothering you.. | 21:44 |
| haresh_ | edbian, i went to pastein and pasted it what were the outputs | 21:44 |
| Eduard | Any ideas why 11.04 restarts back to login screen if at login screen i selected stock 'Ubuntu' mode & try to login? Only Ubuntu classic, No effects works | 21:44 |
| edbian | haresh_: But the machine isn't online remember? | 21:44 |
| wols | edbian: I don't know ubuntu enough to know if they even have firmware packages. but sometimes when a wlan chip is new or so, the right firmware is not yet in ubuntu and therefore not in /lib/firmware/ in this case dmesg tells you that it's missing. but in his dmesg output (dmesg |grep iwl) there is a lot of strange stuff. | 21:44 |
| edbian | haresh_: You came in here asking how to get online | 21:44 |
| edbian | wols: do you have a paste of his dmesg? | 21:45 |
| Eduard | any ideas? i'm desperate, I use nvidia driver 96.43.20 | 21:45 |
| haresh_ | edbian, i am using my handphone to usb tethering | 21:45 |
| wols | Eduard: cause Unity cannot run (usually due to missing 3d accel) and ends again and hands control back to gdm | 21:45 |
| edbian | haresh_: mhmmm | 21:45 |
| Eduard | wols: nvidia driver is installed already, hmm | 21:45 |
| wols | edbian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/659538/ | 21:45 |
| wols | Eduard: check ~/.xsession-errors then | 21:46 |
| edbian | wols: thanks | 21:46 |
| wolter | can I see, without logging out, a list of the users which are displayed in the login screen? | 21:46 |
| dr_willis | wolter, every user should be in there - so the dirs in /home/ should list them all. | 21:46 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo modprobe -r iwlagn && sudo modprobe iwlagn | 21:46 |
| dr_willis | i guess its possible some hae a differnt home name then their username.. but that would be rare | 21:47 |
| wolter | dr_willis, since a while ago, I started getting proxy and a label-less user in my login screen :S | 21:47 |
| dr_willis | wolter, some sercvices install their own user also. | 21:47 |
| dr_willis | gdm for example has a 'gdm' user. | 21:47 |
| wols | wolter: getent passwd any user with a UID >= 1000 | 21:47 |
| Eduard | wols: http://pastebin.com/YnkH3XbJ | 21:47 |
| Eduard | some errors :S | 21:48 |
| haresh_ | edbian, then | 21:48 |
| edbian | wols: His dmesg implies it's working fine... | 21:48 |
| edbian | haresh_: Is it working now? | 21:48 |
| wols | Eduard: only a suggestion. either unity closed down on its own or crashed. I dunno why | 21:48 |
| Eduard | i'll try one thing | 21:49 |
| wols | edbian: yes and no. too many entries imho. iwconfig implies it works fine | 21:49 |
| haresh_ | edbian, it teying to connect nd now its says wireless netowkr disconnected | 21:49 |
| edbian | wols: yes, but no errors in dmesg about needed firmware. Perhaps we should grep for something else. | 21:49 |
| edbian | haresh_: But it's listing networks? and you can click on them to try to connect? | 21:50 |
| wols | edbian: dmesg log has a fixed size. old messages got deleted. among them the loading of the wlan driver. which is where the quip about missing firmware would be if there is any | 21:50 |
| haresh_ | edbian, i can connect to any netowkr which is not locked but any which has locks i cant connect | 21:50 |
| edbian | wols: mhmmm | 21:50 |
| edbian | haresh_: I think that's just a limitation of the driver. It is a very new card / driver. | 21:51 |
| wols | haresh_: wpasupplicant installed? | 21:51 |
| edbian | wols: good guess | 21:51 |
| wols | edbian: no it's not new. and iwlagn is a very common driver | 21:51 |
| edbian | wols: intel 1000 isn't a new card? | 21:52 |
| haresh_ | wols, how do i do that | 21:52 |
| edbian | wols: It's from 2009 | 21:52 |
| wols | edbian: calpella platform 2009. so it's not new | 21:53 |
| edbian | wols: not exactly old | 21:53 |
| cmanns | woot | 21:53 |
| Eduard | wols: my fix didin't help.... but now i'm getting a new error | 21:53 |
| cmanns | Got ubuntu installed | 21:53 |
| Eduard | sec, i'll pastebin it | 21:53 |
| wols | edbian: it's ages. a year after natty was frozen. and it's an intel, not some POS ralink or realtek chip, or *cringe* broadcom. Intel kit is supported and supported well | 21:53 |
| edbian | haresh_: sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant | 21:53 |
| edbian | wols: I have broadcom!!! :P | 21:54 |
| Reaper | Do I remove something I've installed through the software center? | 21:54 |
| Eduard | wols: http://pastebin.com/HsAVfT7p | 21:54 |
| edbian | Reaper: sudo apt-get remove <packName> | 21:54 |
| wols | edbian: my condolences. got get a nickel and buy a real wlan chip | 21:54 |
| edbian | Reaper: or purge | 21:54 |
| bazhang | Reaper, installed how | 21:54 |
| haresh_ | edbian, wpasupplicant is already the newest version. | 21:54 |
| edbian | wols: ha | 21:54 |
| edbian | haresh_: wols ideas? | 21:54 |
| Reaper | I installed it through the software center | 21:54 |
| haresh_ | wols, wpasupplicant is already the newest version. | 21:55 |
| bazhang | Reaper, sure or via synaptic package manager , or the terminal using apt-get | 21:55 |
| edbian | haresh_: can you pastebin dmesg again maybe there is some info there about why it can't connect to a secure network | 21:55 |
| wols | put a stanza for wlan into /etc/network/interfaces and check if it connects or spits out errors on console or kernel | 21:55 |
| wols | also find out what the driver says on bootup | 21:55 |
| Reaper | ill try the terminal. thanx everyone. | 21:55 |
| Eduard | wols: any ideas? | 21:55 |
| wols | Eduard: no | 21:55 |
| haresh_ | edbian, which one ? | 21:56 |
| edbian | haresh_: which one what? | 21:56 |
| haresh_ | edbian, u ask me to paste | 21:57 |
| edbian | haresh_: What are you asking me? | 21:57 |
| sublim21 | edbian: afternoon man | 21:57 |
| edbian | sublim21: hello :) | 21:57 |
| haresh_ | edbian, <edbian> haresh_: can you pastebin dmesg again maybe there is some info there about why it can't connect to a secure network | 21:57 |
| astraljava | edbian: Hmm... connecting to a secure network, are we talking wireless here? Vanilla? Isn't that NetworkManager's job? Doesn't it log into syslog? | 21:58 |
| edbian | haresh_: put the output of dmesg here: paste.ubuntu.com | 21:58 |
| haresh_ | edbian, how do i get tha | 21:58 |
| edbian | astraljava: we are talking, it is network managers job. I have no idea where it logs | 21:58 |
| edbian | haresh_: run dmesg | 21:58 |
| edbian | you've done it before | 21:58 |
| edbian | astraljava: yes, wireless, yes vanilla, iwlagn driver for intel 1000 | 21:59 |

| edbian | put an e in there | 22:00 |
| sublim21 | alright. im still looking for a decent lightweight html/css/js editor (with auto complete and code checking etc) that includes a file system | 22:00 |
| astraljava | grr, I though 3 lines were allowed. Damnit. :D | 22:01 |
| edbian | sublim21: includes a file system? | 22:01 |
| sublim21 | netbeans works - but is a little, while bluefish is good but doesn't do javascript | 22:01 |
| chrissbx | Hi. I've tried both the mythbuntu installer CD and the xbmc live CD images, burnt to DVD-R and then CD-R, mythbuntu both in 32 bit and 64 bit versions, on my ThinkPad T61 (64 bit); | 22:01 |
| sublim21 | edbian: yea, like it gives me a directory/file structure | 22:01 |
| chrissbx | in call cases, the CD/DVD starts booting, logo comes up, but after ~15 seconds the computer just reboots. | 22:01 |
| edbian | sublim21: oh, you mean a file tree | 22:01 |
| chrissbx | Any idea? | 22:01 |
| edbian | sublim21: bluefish | 22:01 |
| chrissbx | I'm asking here since it happened with both ubuntu derivates. | 22:01 |
| sublim21 | edbian: how can i get bluefish to check js syntax? | 22:02 |
| edbian | sublim21: I don't think it does | 22:02 |
| wols | chrissbx: what is the last thing on screen? | 22:02 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Have you checked geany yet? It's great for C/C++/python/whatever, but am not sure about the web tech | 22:02 |
| wols | chrissbx: nvidia or intel video? | 22:02 |
| chrissbx | wols: the logo; then it goes black and bios messages reappear. Nvidia. | 22:02 |
| edbian | sublim21: most of them will syntax highlight but only 1 language at a time | 22:03 |
| brianherman | anyone want to make a gnome2 fork with me? | 22:03 |
| wols | !nomodeset | 22:03 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 22:03 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: no man. i have not checked that. bluefish was really close but no js checking | 22:03 |
| haresh__ | edbian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659561/ | 22:03 |
| wols | chrissbx: try that. and if there is a "quiet" somewhere as a parameter: remove it | 22:03 |
| chrissbx | Ok, will try that, thanks. | 22:03 |
| quidnunc | Where is the output of fsck on boot stored? | 22:03 |
| sublim21 | edbian: Oh i dont mind one language at a time. its just that my coding generally revolves around js and generating a bunch of little js files | 22:04 |
| edbian | sublim21: js is great :) | 22:04 |
| sublim21 | edbian: so a good js checker is vital | 22:04 |
| edbian | sublim21: ohh, you wanna run it... use firefox for that :P | 22:04 |
| bazhang | !ot | brianherman | 22:04 |
| ubottu | brianherman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:04 |
| edbian | sublim21: or just write your code right the first time | 22:04 |
| wols | quidnunc: I don't think it is stored anywhere. especially since it's a fsck: if you fsck your boot volume with /var/log is probably the one fscked and that means it's read only and the logs can't be written | 22:04 |
| sublim21 | edbian: thats why i want a good js checker - so there are no 'first' mistakes : p | 22:05 |
| edbian | wols: haresh__ I have no idea | 22:05 |
| edbian | sublim21: :) | 22:05 |
| mcl0vin | in cron tab i want run cd /app2;./rmvrstTPs RMV ODD;sleep 300;./rmvrstTPs RST ODD every other day ,i am confused on how to make it run every other day | 22:05 |
| wols | sublim21: you want lightweight and a ton of features. do you want a pink pony too? | 22:05 |
| quidnunc | wols: Could be stored in memory until disks are mounted | 22:05 |
| edbian | sublim21: I don't know of anything like you are looking for | 22:05 |
| preecher | im trying to dual boot- i used gparted to make another partition, installed kubuntu on the empty partition and all went well---then i decided to install another distro instead of kubuntu--when i do a reboot i no longer have the option of choosing between ubuntu and whatever ive installed, it only shows --is this due to one being grub2 & the other being old grub/legacy grub? | 22:05 |
| cmanns | So I got ubuntu installed from pxe net install | 22:05 |
| sublim21 | wols: no. a regular white one will do just fine | 22:05 |
| mcl0vin | and i keep getting crontab: error on previous line; unexpected character found in line. | 22:06 |
| mcl0vin | crontab: errors detected in input, no crontab file generated. | 22:06 |
| sublim21 | edbian: im going to stick to netbeans for now and just deal with the little lag | 22:06 |
| cmanns | It boots and just has a flashing _, i can ctrl alt f** to another console and login and yeah | 22:06 |
| cmanns | any idea why its fubard? | 22:06 |
| edbian | sublim21: sure | 22:06 |
| wols | preecher: no. other distros (and ubuntu too) don't check for other linuxes usually. only for windows. you can try and reinstall grub2 frm ubuntu. maybe os-proper is better nowadays | 22:06 |
| wols | !fixgrub | 22:06 |
| ubottu | 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) | 22:06 |
| sublim21 | edbian: noooooo you were supposed to be the guru. this is irc. its full of computer geniuses. if irc doesn't know, THERES NO HOPE | 22:06 |
| ruiserra | how do I put a disk in read only | 22:07 |
| edbian | sublim21: Yeah, I don't think what you're looking for exists. | 22:07 |
| cmanns | ah it appears ubuntu didnt install xinit or anything | 22:07 |
| edbian | sublim21: You can code. Write it! | 22:07 |
| cmanns | Anyway to install GUI setup from commandline? | 22:07 |
| sublim21 | edbian: im thinking about it actually. | 22:07 |
| wols | chrissbx: xorg. and ubuntu-desktop I guess | 22:07 |
| astraljava | sublim21: What does bluefish not do about js? If I have a small example file, which is mostly html but has a bit of js in it, and save it either <filename>.html or <filename>.js, it does hilight the bits and pieces. But maybe you're looking for something more sophisticated, so what is that, really? I can have a look. | 22:07 |
| edbian | sublim21: :) | 22:07 |
| sublim21 | but got enough projects on my plate | 22:07 |
| edbian | sublim21: I'm writing a IDE: http://www.ednovak.net/projects | 22:07 |
| edbian | sublim21: mint berry crunch | 22:08 |
| wols | writing an IDE is a very foolish endeavour sublim21. just buy more RAM instead. better investment | 22:08 |
| astraljava | Haha! | 22:08 |
| edbian | wols: :) | 22:08 |
| wols | edbian: very foolshin :P | 22:08 |
| wols | edbian: IDE for what? | 22:08 |
| edbian | wols: python so far, at this point it's more of just a text editor | 22:09 |
| preecher | wols thank you---ive already reinstalled ubuntu back on since i didnt know how to get back to it but if i understnd correct it doesnt matter what i install it shouldnt screw with grub? | 22:09 |
| endip | What's the easiest way to to install Ubuntu onto a USB drive (not the same as making a bottable usb drive for installing ubuntu on a hdd) | 22:09 |
| wols | preecher: I don't get what you understood. please explain it it more detail | 22:09 |
| stephenh | endip: just point your installation at it? | 22:10 |
| stephenh | (i'd imagine?) | 22:10 |
| edbian | endip: making a bottable usb drive for installing ubuntu on a hdd that is persistent. | 22:10 |
| wols | endip: plug it in and install to it. nothing about it. it will soon die tho since ubuntu writes a lot of stuff to disk all the time | 22:10 |
| stephenh | endip: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/a-much-easier-way-to-install-ubuntu-on-a-usb-device-stick-or-hd.html :) ? | 22:10 |
| wols | endip: you can mitigate it a bit. e.g. mount noatime and such | 22:10 |
| crazyharry | can someone help me with updating my R in Ubuntu here ? THe #R channel is dead | 22:11 |
| wols | shit it's already tomorrow :( | 22:11 |
| ruiserra | if I use this command "mount -o remount,ro /" says it is busy | 22:11 |
| wols | crazyharry: state your actual problem | 22:11 |
| edbian | wols: no it's today still | 22:11 |
| stephenh | it'll always be today :D | 22:11 |
| astraljava | edbian: When do you ever have time for that IDE, as you're here 110% of the time? | 22:11 |
| stephenh | edbian: did that dude ever get his wlan working? | 22:11 |
| edbian | astraljava: I don't sleep because I am a robot. | 22:12 |
| wols | stephenh: not yet :( | 22:12 |
| edbian | stephenh: yes but not on encrypted networks | 22:12 |
| lucia_28 | hi | 22:12 |
| edbian | stephenh: I have no idea why it doesn't work though. | 22:12 |
| === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ | ||
| edbian | stephenh: And I don't think he has a clue what's going on | 22:12 |
| edbian | lucia_28: hello | 22:12 |
| astraljava | Damn, I always confuse them. Like for the first 17 months, starting from Jan. 2005, I thought ubottu was a person with infinite patience. | 22:12 |
| preecher | wols i dont understand- i was interpreting when you said no other distro checks for other linuxs to mean if one is legacy grub & the other grub2 it doesnt matter and isnt the cause of my problem--and that i should try an reinstall grub2 after i get my 2 distros installed---but i probably am wrong | 22:12 |
| edbian | ha | 22:12 |
| edbian | astraljava: hahahaha | 22:13 |
| crazyharry | wols: how can I upgrade my R, I tried update.packages() and I pressed "y" on the next R version, but it seems it didnt install anything, how to I upgrade my R from 2.10 to 2.11 | 22:13 |
| wols | preecher: each distro comes with a script which checks what other OSes are on the disk and rewrites the grub config file accordingly. usually they only check for their own distro with its kernels and Windows partitions, nothing else. os-prober since newer and part of grub2 might check for more if you are lucky, I don't know. so it is a chance to reinstall grub2 from ubuntu (not reinstall ubuntu itself) to see if it does. it won't make things wors | 22:14 |
| lucia_28 | where do you from? | 22:15 |
| edbian | crazyharry: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:15 |
| wols | crazyharry: is R packaged for Ubuntu into a .deb? | 22:15 |
| edbian | crazyharry: If that doesn't do it you'll have to install it from a source besides the repos | 22:15 |
| crazyharry | edbian, already done that sudo apt-get upgrade | 22:15 |
| wols | crazyharry: where did you get your version of R from exactly? | 22:16 |
| bonez2046 | Does the Ubuntu/Linux community have any option competing in price and convenience with the MagicJack, for inexpensive, nearly free telephone calls? | 22:16 |
| edbian | crazyharry: Then you have the newest version that ubuntu supports and you'll have to install from source or (if you're lucky) the website will have a .deb | 22:16 |
| sublim21 | edbian: niiiice. i was thinking something more along the lines of an in browser js interpreter/checker. I don't need php, java, python etc. because all i write is html, css, and js | 22:16 |
| preecher | wols i follow that & will try --thanks | 22:16 |
| crazyharry | edbian, : I dont think they have .deb, all source | 22:16 |
| edbian | sublim21: firefox has a js checker built in | 22:16 |
| wols | sublim21: and it has firebug | 22:16 |
| edbian | crazyharry: Then you'll have to install from source | 22:16 |
| sublim21 | edbian: but i will be jacking the html from your website. I needed a basic html struture for my blog of projects as well and yours is a good starting point : ) | 22:17 |
| edbian | sublim21: hahah, it's an honor | 22:17 |

| Eduard | Hello again guys | 22:17 |
| sublim21 | edbian: i will also be getting it copyrighted and suing you for breaching my ip. see ya in court | 22:18 |
| edbian | ha | 22:18 |
| edbian | sublim21: It will be good to meet face to face | 22:18 |
| Eduard | I've narrowed down my problem, any ideas why launching compiz causes X to restart? | 22:18 |
| guntbert | sublim21: back to support please | 22:18 |
| edbian | Eduard: because it's crashing the x server haha | 22:18 |
| szal | Eduard: what gfx card/driver? | 22:19 |
| Eduard | edbian: where's the error log? | 22:19 |
| Eduard | szal: geforce 4 mx 440 nvidia driver 96.43.20, running kernel with nopat option | 22:19 |
| edbian | Eduard: /var/log/Xorg | 22:19 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: i think netbeans is what i want for now. unfortunately im not really going to develop an ide. All i want is a good html/css/js autocomplete with error code highlighting which bluefish does well for html/css but not js. Netbeans does it all (although a little too resourcehungry for my meager netbook) | 22:19 |
| szal | Eduard: /var/log/Xorg.0.log(.old), ~/.Xsession-errors | 22:20 |
| edbian | sublim21: Don't develop on a netbook | 22:20 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Okay, but can you give me an example code snippet of where it doesn't work for you? I could doublecheck it. | 22:20 |
| Guest52698 | looking for pkg to identify the webcam on my sat A105-S2131 | 22:21 |
| sublim21 | a={'a':'a' b:'c'} | 22:21 |
| szal | Eduard: in that case I suspect the nVidia driver, and as the legacy driver will only get updates for security reasons (stuff crashing X most probably isn't one), your pretty much out of luck.. you might wanna try the nouveau driver instead | 22:21 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: see above - it misses the missing comma (a common mistake of mine) | 22:21 |
| astraljava | sublim21: I'd have to agree with edbian, something non-java might be good for your netbook. | 22:21 |
| arash_ | hi | 22:21 |
| edbian | arash_: hello | 22:21 |
| ruler5 | shouldn't this a={'a':'a' b:'c'} be a={'a':'a', b:'c'} sublim21 | 22:22 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: alright. im open to suggestions. And btw - i like my little netbook. | 22:22 |
| sublim21 | ruler5: exactly man. im testing js code 'checkers'. | 22:22 |
| Eduard | szal: we got an starting point http://pastebin.com/7piYMs2d | 22:22 |
| Guest52698 | My wine is online to configure but will not launch | 22:23 |
| crazyharry | edbian, also when I do update.packages() it shows this http://paste.ubuntu.com/659571/ | 22:23 |
| ruler5 | oh I thought that was code you were running | 22:23 |
| reisi | sublim21: if you find netbeans too heavy with java6 try it with java7, openjdk that is | 22:23 |
| arash_ | a ned help install grafik driver on ubuntu 10.04 | 22:23 |
| edbian | crazyharry: I don't know R very well. Just ubuntu. I can promise that update.packages() isn't going to change the package that's installed. Ubuntu packages and R packages are different packages. | 22:23 |
| sublim21 | reisi: what? i didn't understand a word of that. linux is all new to me :/ | 22:24 |
| ruler5 | sublim21: codeblocks isn't too heavy and I think it works with most languages | 22:24 |
| VisezTrance | Hi, I was wondering, where's the coreutils timeout command? | 22:24 |
| reisi | sublim1: nm then | 22:24 |
| szal | Eduard: segfault, I had the same w/ the 270 driver for my GT240, upgrading to the 275 (now 280) helped; unfortunately that option doesn't exist for the legacy drivers, hence my pointer to nouveau | 22:24 |
| crazyharry | ok thanks edbian , I think in the server the R wasnt installed in the regular directory rather somewhere else, thats why upgrading is becoming a hassle | 22:24 |
| edbian | crazyharry: ummm perhaps | 22:25 |
| edbian | crazyharry: You can't upgrade because you're already at the newest version ubuntu offers I think | 22:25 |
| VisezTrance | there's a timeout binary in the repo, but it has a different syntax | 22:25 |
| Guest52698 | I ressurected the toshiba A105 and the wifi will not come up on XP | 22:25 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Okay, let me try that on geany. | 22:25 |
| jrib | VisezTrance: /usr/bin/timeout is from coreutils here | 22:26 |
| Guest52698 | SO i made a partition for ubi and put XP on the second part and use wifi in ubi | 22:26 |
| edbian | Guest52698: Just don't use windows xp | 22:26 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: well maybe it is working. im not used to code syntax. it seems that when i added the comma the key in the object went to green. Im used to netbeans huge red marks letting me know where i screwed up | 22:27 |
| VisezTrance | I kind of doubt it. I got the command installed but it's not the right one http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/timeout-invocation.html | 22:27 |
| Guest52698 | I can hit my router from my ac bedroom and beat the heat | 22:27 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: i'll check out geany as well | 22:27 |
| szal | Eduard: your only other option would be upgrading the gfx card to a GF6 or GF7, which probably isn't worth the money in the long run | 22:27 |
| Guest52698 | now I want to do remote to my lan by wine | 22:27 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Okay, neither of them make any difference to the hilighting whether there's the ',' in between or not. If you'd like some, then those are not for you. Not sure any editor does, really. | 22:27 |
| Guest52698 | wine is online but will not launch | 22:28 |
| jrib | VisezTrance: that's what I see when I run « timeout --help ». Why do you doubt it? | 22:28 |
| Guest52698 | I want to pig out with 2gig RAM and 250 gig hd | 22:28 |
| Guest52698 | What I can never do on XP is easy on ubi | 22:29 |
| Guest52698 | I did 90 degree rotate on 200 pix in batch with one selection | 22:30 |
| edbian | Guest52698: Do you need Ubuntu support? | 22:30 |
| bonez2046 | is there a better channel to ask linux telephony questions? | 22:31 |
| Guest52698 | I want to know why my wine will not launch | 22:31 |
| hylian | is there a way to control unity's desktop effects, without switching to unity 2d? | 22:31 |
| edbian | Guest52698: Wine is not application that launches alone. It launches other programs (.exe's usually) | 22:31 |
| Guest52698 | Hi edbian | 22:31 |
| edbian | Guest52698: oh hello | 22:31 |
| Guest52698 | I tried to launch treepad.exe and vbox from wine | 22:32 |
| edbian | Guest52698: wine treepad.exe does not work? ask in #winehq | 22:32 |
| hylian | Guest52698, you tried to launch vbox from wine? | 22:32 |
| Guest52698 | I did | 22:33 |
| edbian | hylian: Let's agree that is insane | 22:33 |
| Guest52698 | I will If you will | 22:33 |
| hylian | Guest52698, why? | 22:33 |
| endip | wols: so if I run ubuntu off of a USB you think it will die really soon? How soon? | 22:33 |
| endip | stephenh, thanks for that link btw. | 22:34 |
| Guest52698 | I want to remote desk to my lan 30 ft away in the heat away from ac | 22:34 |
| hylian | edbian, i agree | 22:34 |
| edbian | Guest52698: I think you need a vocab lesson | 22:34 |
| Guest52698 | so I should go to winehq | 22:34 |
| edbian | Guest52698: For help with wine, yes | 22:34 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: appreciate the effort man. After playing with bluefish for a little bit just now, i think it is what im looking. It's lighter than netbeans and does almost everything i want. much appreciated man | 22:35 |
| Guest52698 | ATB EDBIAN | 22:35 |
| edbian | Guest52698: pardon me? | 22:35 |
| Guest52698 | ALL THE BEST | 22:35 |
| edbian | mhmm | 22:35 |
| edbian | GOODBYE | 22:35 |
| Guest52698 | SE YA | 22:35 |
| hylian | sublim21, yeah, i like blue fish too. my fave ide. | 22:35 |
| leftist | can someone give me some direction here? http://pastebin.com/UeGZMH6s | 22:36 |
| astraljava | sublim21: Good if it works for you. I agree, much lighter, and since it's directed towards webdevel, I'd have been surprised if it didn't do js as it should. :) | 22:36 |
| VisezTrance | I don't know, I guess that it's just weird having the same binary provided by the core utils package, yet it behaves differently. | 22:36 |
| hylian | is there a way to control unity's desktop effects, without switching to unity 2d? | 22:36 |
| leftist | i thought i resovled it but it did it again and i have a ton of work on that drive. | 22:36 |
| endip | wols, How fast will a USB drive running Ubuntu fail? Does it matter if I use ext2 without journaling? | 22:36 |
| leftist | apparantly this drive had firewire included with it but i dont have a firewire cable and am using the usb option. | 22:36 |
| edbian | hylian: ccsm ? | 22:37 |
| leftist | i dont have a windows machine aroiund and i tried via vbox xp and it doesnt resovlve the issue. any ideas? | 22:38 |
| phateba4723 | ccsm | 22:38 |
| hylian | edbian, i'll try that, thanks. | 22:38 |
| edbian | hylian: the package name is compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:39 |
| endip | Does anyone know how long a USB flash drive running ubuntu will last? If it lasts 6 of constant use (rarely rebooting) that would be fine. | 22:39 |
| sublim21 | its simple and does what i want so kudos for the suggestion. although im waiting on this new kick ass ide i just read about called mint berry crunch ; ) | 22:39 |
| phateba4723 | What countries are you guys come from? | 22:39 |
| edbian | sublim21: :D | 22:39 |
| hylian | phateba4723, thanks as well. | 22:39 |
| edbian | sublim21: You're a developer. The code is up on github, I think you can figure it out | 22:40 |
| sublim21 | u.s. | 22:40 |
| leftist | http://pastebin.com/UeGZMH6s | 22:40 |
| phateba4723 | I'm not goog at English... | 22:40 |
| sublim21 | edbian: actually im not. i got into web development like a little over 2 years ago as a hobby. my 9-5 is in other engineering | 22:40 |
| edbian | ahhh | 22:40 |
| edbian | neat | 22:40 |
| sublim21 | but i've written a ton of code i think is awesome, just want to get it out there, for others to mock : p | 22:41 |

| leftist | i posted my post 2 times and it's still about chit chat paddy wack | 22:43 |
| sublim21 | k. sorry all. | 22:43 |
| lucia_28 | _ruben: hola, | 22:43 |
| astraljava | sublim21: #ubuntu-offtopic for general, #ubuntu-app-devel for, application development, duh. The thing is, not one of us was a programmer before we started. A lot of it comes from peer review. So, yeah, don't be afraid to toss the code out there. | 22:43 |
| Ainslee | hai, i'm somewhat new to ubuntu (slowly becoming a linux gal), just trying to install KVM at the moment. It says i need to log out and log back in again for installation. Are they talking about exiting the terminal completely, or is detaching ok? | 22:43 |
| Generic_Dumbass | When I unplug my laptop, Ubuntu suspends. Why? | 22:44 |
| bonez2046 | Ainslee: Congrats and my hats off to you!! | 22:44 |
| astraljava | Generic_Dumbass: Check the Power Management settings. | 22:44 |
| leftist | because your a generic dunbass | 22:44 |
| leftist | i cant get any direction | 22:44 |
| leftist | ok | 22:44 |
| sublim21 | astraljava: cool man. Technical fields tends to attract kind individuals so im not too worried about being 'massacred'. | 22:45 |
| vsync | ah, lately so much mad in here | 22:45 |
| Generic_Dumbass | astraljava: I did. I don't see any option for that. | 22:45 |
| sublim21 | YOU TAKE THAT BACK VSYNC | 22:45 |
| Ainslee | bonez2046: thanks :) trying to teach myself so i'm not always having to rely on the bf to administer stuff :P | 22:45 |
| Generic_Dumbass | Unless it is interpreting this as 'close laptop lid' | 22:46 |
| vsync | technical fields tend to attract murderers :( (reiser) | 22:46 |
| astraljava | Generic_Dumbass: Could the battery be broken? The only thing that comes to mind, with default settings: "When the battery is critically low: Suspend" | 22:46 |
| ubuntubitch | sup my niggas | 22:46 |
| Generic_Dumbass | Also, when I hit power button to restore from suspend, it shuts back down into suspend once every single time, and only then do I get the restore when I hit it a second time | 22:47 |
| vsync | Oh well, guess i gotta go with leftist here afterall =D this channel is probably frowned upon in general ;D | 22:47 |

| vsync | poisionarms ok hold on a sec | 22:49 |
| dr_willis | poisionarms, it could be the battery is not showing because you are plugged into power. Normally theres one at the top right. | 22:49 |

| TBotNik | All: Guys another box will let me boot HDD, can not login through XWin, but with Alt+F1 logins in fine. ??? Any ideas? | 22:53 |
| kisuke | is there any way to stop the login sound from playing? | 22:54 |
| dr_willis | kisuke, you could find and remove it. :) | 22:54 |
| kisuke | dr_willis: any idea where to start? | 22:54 |
| trism | kisuke: System Settings/Startup Applications, uncheck the GNOME Login Sound option | 22:54 |
| dr_willis | google :) is where i just saw --> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/disable-the-login-sound-on-ubuntu/ | 22:55 |
| kisuke | trism: did that, no change. | 22:55 |
| TBotNik | Originally the chmod on sudoers and sudoers.d was 775, but got that changed to 440 as should be. supspecting something else in X11 got permissions changed. What do I look for? | 22:55 |
| vsync | TBotNik well does X fire at all? | 22:55 |
| trism | kisuke: unless you mean the drumbeat on the login screen | 22:55 |
| kisuke | dr_willis: thanks | 22:55 |
| dr_willis | file may be in /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/ | 22:56 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Get the login screen and that is all, fails login every time | 22:56 |
| dr_willis | i dont think its gdm thats playing the sound.. its the users stuff. | 22:56 |
| kisuke | trism: that and the extremely loud i have no clue th\what it it\s on login. | 22:56 |
| TBotNik | vsync: But login at tty is good. | 22:56 |
| vsync | yeah, hmm | 22:57 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Was originally thinking bad/corrupted passwd file but not after getting in on tty. | 22:57 |
| vsync | yes, so xdm doesn't really prompt wrong pass? | 22:59 |
| vsync | it just won't launch the de? | 22:59 |
| vsync | TBotNik could you maybe throw your ~/.xsessions-errors into a pastebin? | 23:01 |
| Felipe_Brz | Does anyone run Oracle Express Edition on Ubuntu? How did it go? | 23:02 |
| astraljava | TBotNik: If you can login via tty, then go look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/syslog, and yeah, like vsync suggested, your .xsession-errors | 23:02 |
| endip | Does anyone know how if running ubuntu from a flash drive would cause the flash drive to fail quicly? How quickly? | 23:02 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Looking at it | 23:03 |
| === kisuke is now known as hulk | ||
| endip | Anyone know if file fragmentation happens on ext2? | 23:03 |
| trism | kisuke: the drumbeat on the login screen is configured in System Settings/Login Screen, if it looks already disabled, toggle the checkbox, it some times bugs unless you set it once | 23:04 |
| italoxp | endip: it happens on every file system | 23:04 |
| dr_willis | endip, depends on how much actual writeing is done to the flash drive. | 23:05 |
| dr_willis | endip, and fragm,entation is normally not an issue | 23:05 |
| dr_willis | endip, ive ran lubuntu from flash for several months at a time. with no issues. | 23:06 |
| endip | dr_willis, thanks, that's all I need to know. I'll be happy to be able to run 11.04 from my usb flash drive until 11.10 comes out. | 23:07 |

| Guest40473 | Question: I have a 30Gig volume i would like to compress and store on a USB drive - will I have trouble accessing individual files or directories from it later? | 23:08 |
| Guest40473 | i only have 4gig ram, what are the memory requirements of file roller, opening something like that | 23:08 |
| mkanyicy | Guest40473: thats enough memory | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | a bigger question Guest40473 will be how much actual compression will you get. and will it be worth the effort to compress it. | 23:09 |
| dr_willis | 30gb of text files.. compresses a lot.. 30gb of video/muzack not so much | 23:10 |
| ChairMao | i honestly can't see the point of running an #ubuntu #linux etc on a #sandybridge system, since when in linux so demanding? any one care to enlighten me? | 23:11 |
| Guest40473 | operating systems are not demanding, | 23:11 |
| vsync | #twitter#much? | 23:11 |
| ChairMao | sorry! | 23:11 |
| * dr_willis missed the actual #question. | 23:11 | |
| ChairMao | but it is a serious question | 23:11 |
| ChairMao | well | 23:12 |
| * dr_willis is a nittwit i guess. :) | 23:12 | |
| Felipe_Brz | Has anyone had the experience of running Oracle Express Edition on ubuntu? If so, how did it go? | 23:12 |
| vsync | well... another question would be what's so "demanding" in other systems that sandy bridge sells as good as it sells? | 23:12 |
| acidrain | ok i have a serious issue. when my box loses connection, how can i make it automatically try to reconnect. and keep trying to reconnect until it does? | 23:12 |
| ChairMao | e.g. the adobe suite, gaming all geared and set up for quad cores why would i install ubuntu et al on an i52500k? | 23:13 |
| Matcou | is there a direct install for ubuntu? (where it doesn't have to be on a flash drive/cd) | 23:13 |
| acidrain | Matcou, no | 23:13 |
| vsync | well there you see, neither of those is really an operating system now is it? | 23:13 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, thats how its normally installed to a hard drive.. what are you refering to? | 23:13 |
| vsync | ChairMao it has nothing to do with the OS, and everything to do with the purpose | 23:13 |
| dr_willis | 'tools' use the power.. not the os. any Powar. taken by the os is being stolen from what the tools could be using. :) | 23:14 |

| Matcou | Windows 7, and by hard disk layout what do you exactly mean? | 23:16 |
| acidrain | and keep trying to connect until it does | 23:16 |

| Matcou | yes | 23:16 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, are you on a ubuntu live cd right now? or in windows? | 23:16 |
| Matcou | in windows..i don't have a cd/flash drive with sufficient space for ubuntu | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, the term cd/flash is confuseing... all you need is a single 'cd' to burn the ubuntu cd to... | 23:17 |
| vsync | I'd need a sandy bridge so i can like, compile my kernel with -j 64 and watch 3x 1080p pron all over my screens without any twitching | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, or a 1gb flash to make a usb flash installer... | 23:17 |
| vsync | at the same time that is | 23:17 |
| Matcou | it didn't fit on a 1gb flash | 23:17 |
| Matcou | already tried | 23:17 |
| dr_willis | it should fit on a 1gb flash if you dont make a peristant save file. | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | unless you downloaded the dvd iso. | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | burn it to cd then i guess.. | 23:18 |
| littlegirl | Hey there, does anyone know of a program (command-line or otherwise) that can be used to capture the mouse within a specified window in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx? | 23:18 |
| Kiwini | Can't he just use the windows installer? o_O | 23:18 |
| dr_willis | Kiwini, i dont reccomend wubi.. ever... | 23:19 |
| Matcou | ^i was wanting an installer that I could just boot off of windows | 23:19 |
| Matcou | if there is one | 23:19 |
| vsync | littlegirl I *might* know, depends how little you really are... | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, theres wubi. but if wubi breaks.. good luck fixing it. | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | !wubi | 23:19 |
| 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 | 23:19 |
| littlegirl | vsync: Do you know of one? | 23:19 |
| Matcou | if it breaks, what will it do | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, you could just use virtualbox and have ubunti inside virtualboxc. | 23:19 |
| Matcou | mess up my windows? | 23:19 |
| dr_willis | I dont use wubi. so cant really say much more then my reccomendation to avoid it. | 23:19 |
| Kiwini | Worked fine on my Win7 machine | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | it shouldent break windows.. but wineodws can have a tendancy to break wubi. | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | I see a dozen+ 'wubi broke...' type questions in here a week. and rarely see one get fixed. | 23:20 |
| Kiwini | ouch | 23:20 |
| vsync | Nah, can't really shoot one out from the top of my head littlegirl... I might be motivated to do some research in case you'd happen to be wearing a slutty school-girl outfit, and you'd be preferably under the age of 15 | 23:20 |
| acidrain | klossor, i did. it still dont connect by itself | 23:20 |
| dr_willis | If you want to test out ubuntu and not do a normal install. then vbox is very handy. | 23:20 |
| astraljava | vsync: Please. | 23:20 |
| klossor | acidrain: when you entered the key wep/wpa, did you hit "remember pass" check box? | 23:21 |
| coz_ | littlegirl left,, darn | 23:21 |
| acidrain | klossor, well i have a bridge. so its a wired connection | 23:21 |
| klossor | hmmm | 23:21 |
| dr_willis | Matcou, i have also seen windows7 systems that use 4 primary partitions. that makes installing ubuntu to the HD in the 'normal' way a bit of a problem also. | 23:21 |
| vsync | Sowwy :< I'll blame the society. 2:20AM here, after a long day at work! Well, cheerio and night night | 23:22 |
| TBotNik | astraljava vsync: PB at: http://pastebin.com/VgdmNzv9 | 23:22 |
| vsync | oh, damn, well | 23:22 |
| klossor | acidrain: not sure why a wired connect isnt connecting... | 23:22 |
| Felipe_Brz | How can I check whether my Ubuntu is 32 or 64 bit version, from the command line? | 23:22 |
| IdleOne | Felipe_Brz: what is the output of uname -a | 23:22 |
| acidrain | klossor, well its through a bridge. so technically its a wired wireless connection lol | 23:23 |
| acidrain | but the point is, its not automatically trying to connect continuously | 23:23 |
| klossor | acidrain: lol, sounds tricky | 23:23 |
| acidrain | cause sometimes a problem may happen between the bridge and the router | 23:23 |
| jefimenko | i need to send mail through a relay server (for cron jobs etc.) does anyone know of a lightweight package that does this? it's for a virtualized server, so something with a small footprint would be nice | 23:23 |
| vsync | TBotNik you didn't paste xsessions-errors? | 23:23 |
| acidrain | i think its seriously the router. but it should still always try to connect | 23:23 |
| acidrain | my thing is that when i finally get to my box, its not trying to connect | 23:24 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Just sent you link | 23:24 |
| acidrain | i wouldnt be as mad everytime if i just saw it attempting to fix something | 23:24 |
| Matcou | so if I were to install ubuntu from a live disk, Id want to create a partition besides windows 7 first? | 23:24 |
| TBotNik | Repeating: astraljava vsync: PB at: http://pastebin.com/VgdmNzv9 | 23:24 |
| vsync | yes, but that's just syslog and xorglog? | 23:24 |
| TBotNik | vsync: K what do you mean? | 23:25 |
| klossor | acidrain: nasty :/ I really would be only guessing at this point, not sure what way to go about that one... | 23:25 |
| vsync | your ~/.xsessions-errors -file | 23:25 |
| acidrain | klossor, and its hard to google for good results | 23:25 |
| acidrain | but thx anyways | 23:25 |
| acidrain | girlfriend is bitching, g2g | 23:25 |
| klossor | np, cya | 23:26 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Oh missed the ~/ part so was looking in wrong place. | 23:26 |
| Felipe_Brz | IdleOne: I don't have access to my server from where I am... But should I get a specific output from uname -a if it's 32 or 64 bit? | 23:26 |
| cmanns | Any tips to speed up older ata laptop drive? I set deadline, sped up a bit but still laggy | 23:26 |
| IdleOne | Felipe_Brz: if you see i386 it is 32bit and x86_64 will be 64 bit | 23:27 |
| Felipe_Brz | IdleOne: oh ok thank you very much | 23:27 |
| vsync | cmanns check whether you're using the fastest dma-mode you can | 23:27 |
| IdleOne | Felipe_Brz: welcome | 23:27 |
| cmanns | Will do very soon | 23:28 |
| Felipe_Brz | IdleOne: just to check. Tha gives me the OS version, yes? Not the processor.. | 23:28 |
| cmanns | This also seemed to help even though internet says its for ssd's with deadline "echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch | 23:28 |
| cmanns | " | 23:28 |
| w30 | cmanns, install that worm that sped up the centrifuges of the Iranian nuclear site? | 23:28 |
| Morgz | stux | 23:28 |
| cmanns | w30, no I was meaning to ensure it's using uber dma :P | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | Felipe_Brz: correct | 23:28 |
| cmanns | it feels like ata/33 slow | 23:28 |
| Felipe_Brz | IdleOne: k thanks | 23:29 |
| IdleOne | Felipe_Brz: you will see something similar to: 3.0.0-7-server #9-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 23:09:08 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 23:29 |
| vsync | I hope it's not a fujitsu-laptop. Had an Amilo once, couldn't set a DMA on the dvd-drive at all. Was really funny trying to play dvd-movies on it :) | 23:29 |
| Felipe_Brz | IdleOne: ty | 23:30 |
| szal | IdleOne: server w/ kernel 3.0? :o | 23:30 |
| IdleOne | szal: yes, I run +1 | 23:30 |
| vsync | :D | 23:30 |
| szal | IdleOne: yes, but on a server? | 23:31 |
| MaxHR | does ubuntu have a gui to config hardware settings? (like graphics, touchpad settings... etc) | 23:31 |
| IdleOne | szal: yeah. | 23:31 |
| vsync | well, if it isn't a production server, doesn't matter too much | 23:31 |
| spankbot | What should I use to convert mkv to MPEG-2? | 23:33 |
| vsync | ffmpeg? | 23:33 |
| alexThunder | or winff if you need a gui | 23:34 |
| cmanns | So installing *ubuntu-desktop via apt-get will setup gui? | 23:36 |
| spankbot | I'll look into those | 23:36 |
| vsync | cmanns gnome afaik | 23:36 |
| ogramses | yes chriss | 23:36 |
| ogramses | cmann is chris? | 23:36 |
| bluezone | would it be possible to release one of my programs in the repositories (if yes, how?) | 23:38 |
| cmanns | ogramses, no | 23:38 |
| bluezone | into* | 23:38 |
| bluezone | Tristam, :O | 23:38 |
| uRock | !unity | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. | 23:38 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Updated PB at: http://pastebin.com/tYy0J9jB. Error is can't open .profile | 23:38 |
| IdleOne | !dev | bluezone | 23:39 |
| ubottu | bluezone: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 23:39 |
| tpw_rules | does anybody know how to forcefully unbind things from ports? | 23:39 |
| TBotNik | Why??? | 23:39 |
| cmanns | vsync, I installed xubuntu-desktop lol | 23:39 |
| bluezone | IdleOne, i really don't think i have what it take to become a core ubuntu developper :S | 23:39 |
| cmanns | I thought kubuntu-desktop and such were fine to use as alternative to stock | 23:39 |
| vsync | TBotNik check the permissions of that file? ls -al ~/ | grep profile ? | 23:40 |
| TBotNik | vsync: Permission are at 775 and owner is root is that the problem? | 23:40 |
| IdleOne | bluezone: that link should have info on getting a package included in the repos | 23:40 |
| Kiwini | !classic | 23:40 |
| ubottu | The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 23:40 |
| MaxHR | Can anyone suggest a version of ubuntu that is very small, with a light desktop, like puppy linux, with the basics like web and media player simple word processor etc? | 23:40 |
| uRock | MaxHR, lubuntu | 23:41 |
| Kiwini | huh, didn't know you could do it that easily | 23:41 |
| vsync | TBotNik prolly, depends on the group I guess, but use chown to change the owned | 23:41 |
| vsync | owner* | 23:41 |
| uRock | !lubuntu > MaxHR | 23:41 |
| ubottu | MaxHR, please see my private message | 23:41 |
| cmanns | or should I install stock GUI too so xubuntu-desktop works right? | 23:42 |
| TBotNik | vsync: No owner:group is 1000:users, which I think is correct, except I made a change in sudoers, which added this user with sudo, so maybe need to comment that out? | 23:42 |
| alexThunder | cmanns: what are you trying to do? | 23:42 |
| uRock | I switched to ubuntu-desktop from xubuntu-desktop, so going the opposite shouldn't be that bda | 23:42 |
| cmanns | alexThunder, my pxe net install didn't get a GUI, so I thought apt-get install xubuntu-desktop will fix that | 23:43 |
| cmanns | vsync says no you need gnome | 23:43 |
| vsync | no he doesn't >:O | 23:43 |
| th0r | cmanns: try installing xfce4 and thunar | 23:44 |
| stein-on | hmm which audio player do you use with unity desktop? | 23:44 |
| vsync | and yeah sorry, i missed the *ubuntu -part there cmanns :< | 23:44 |
| cmanns | Ah so then I'm fine vsync ? | 23:44 |
| vsync | TBotNik just try sudo chown ndavis:ndavis /home/ndavis/.profile | 23:44 |
| alexThunder | afaik it should be fine | 23:44 |
| rhizmoe_ | cmanns: maybe apt-get install gdm | 23:44 |
| vsync | probably, i don't know what that xubuntu -meta has... XFCE I guess, i never use those metapkgs myself so I can't tell :x | 23:45 |
| cmanns | well its not done with this apt-get xubuntu-desktop yet once it is ill see | 23:45 |
| cmanns | it installed 500mB of stuff so it seems right | 23:45 |
| TBotNik | vsync: logged in via liveCD, so can't do that. Still fighting the inet connect on wlan0, but this waylayed me. | 23:45 |
| vsync | TBotNik well you can always chroot | 23:45 |
| TBotNik | vsync: What I was thinking, got a script here somewhere for that. | 23:46 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest19859 | ||
| vsync | stein-on banshee... though it's crap. But at least ipod sync works, somewhat. And spotify :) | 23:47 |
| Guest19859 | trying to get my conexant falcon2 capture card to watch tv | 23:47 |
| alexThunder | why do u think it's crap, vsync? | 23:47 |
| vsync | it chokes on my music library, literally. Whereas spotify doesn't, actually | 23:48 |
| Guest19859 | mythtv does not work on my ub untu 10.10 | 23:48 |
| vsync | my music lib is quite large, granted. But banshee is hella bloat too | 23:48 |
| alexThunder | true | 23:49 |
| coz_ | vsync, try clementine ,, I believe it is a smaller footprint | 23:49 |
| Guest19859 | how to install mythtv on ubuntu 10.10 i'm a noobie | 23:50 |
| vsync | only reason why i use banshee is because it has even a moderate support for syncing my ipod. Though it's always a coin-flip whether the music gets transferred or not. However, i'm not gonna use a VM+itunes just because of that, so... | 23:50 |
| alexThunder | :D | 23:50 |
| stein-on | vsync, don't have an ipod :D => actually testing clementine | 23:50 |
| Guest19859 | quit | 23:50 |
| alexThunder | i heard Guayadeque is pretty good for large music libs and afaik it also supports ipods | 23:51 |
| vsync | +1 for the name I can't type | 23:51 |
| alexThunder | copy&paste 4tw :> | 23:51 |
| alexThunder | can't type it either | 23:51 |
| vsync | mhm, well it looks pretty clean, looks gtk (+1), maybe I oughta give that a shot | 23:52 |
| vsync | well, night night everyone. 3AM closing in here. \o_ | 23:54 |
| Thaumx | hello everyone | 23:54 |
| alexThunder | gn8 | 23:54 |
| Thaumx | I was hoping to get some help with a Ubuntu software center problem | 23:54 |
| Thaumx | It seems it can't connect to the server to download purchased software. "Failed to download repository information" | 23:55 |
| GTAXL | .swf files or anything that has to do with flash won't work on my server. | 23:55 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, let me check it here hold on | 23:55 |
| GTAXL | And I'm talking about apache2 | 23:55 |
| Thaumx | thanks coz_ | 23:56 |
| cmanns | vsync, almost | 23:56 |
| cmanns | it came up with hideous login screen, says invalid session ubuntu | 23:56 |
| cmanns | maybe gdm needed? | 23:56 |
| GTAXL | yes. sudo restart gdm | 23:56 |
| cmanns | well i just rebooted so if gdm was there it'd be working? | 23:57 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, ok here,, it is connecting to the Ubuntu single sign on site,, did it do that for you first? | 23:57 |
| GTAXL | should | 23:57 |
| GTAXL | I just ssh into it. :P | 23:57 |
| cmanns | man this laptops slower then shit lol | 23:58 |
| Thaumx | single sign on site? | 23:58 |
| Thaumx | it seemed to sign on fine both times I purchased something, but neither one would download. | 23:58 |
| lonewulf` | Update: im currently on day 3 without booting in winxp...thanks everyone for being there for me the last couple days!!! | 23:58 |
| lonewulf` | :)) | 23:58 |
| Thaumx | I've tried sudo apt-get update and it has the same problem | 23:58 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, it is a login site for purchasing software,, I believe ,, however I have not used it at all | 23:58 |
| cmanns | Do I want lightdm or gdm? | 23:58 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, oh? | 23:58 |
| cmanns | im assuming lightdm was the cheesy looking one i just saw? | 23:59 |
| Thaumx | yes, just a second and I'll get the error | 23:59 |
