| coz_ | Thaumx, mm I am not familiar with this ,, hold on | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Thaumx | thanks coz | 00:00 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, my search so far has many who apparenlty are having similar issues with this | 00:03 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, out of curiosity,,, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:04 |
| Thaumx | thanks coz, I've been googling different variations for the last day, can't seem to find a fix. | 00:04 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, one thing you could do is disable that in /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:04 |
| cmanns | imma try ppa-purge | 00:05 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, rather disable that PPA | 00:05 |
| GTAXL | The page just shows up black. :/ | 00:05 |
| coz_ | Tharlinn, some are reporting that the purchase has taken up to 7 hours for some applications | 00:05 |
| cmanns | well i didnt enable it | 00:05 |
| cmanns | all i know is fresh installs giving me cannto load session ubuntu | 00:05 |
| \u03b5 | hello, is there a more or less documented way to manually install ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| Thaumx | sorry, I'm very new to ubuntu, not familiar with PPA. I am running that command you sent now. it's stuck on the two purchased apps now til it times out and continues | 00:06 |
| bazhang | \u03b5, manually? | 00:06 |
| \u03b5 | bazhang: partition manager is not letting us do what we want, it insists on formatting a partition we already formatted | 00:06 |
| \u03b5 | and it fails upon doing so | 00:07 |
| bazhang | \u03b5, the alternate cd gives tons more control, if you are using the live cd method | 00:07 |
| bazhang | \u03b5, text based (ncurses) install only | 00:08 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, ok,,, well if you opena terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and see if that PPA is listed,, if so ,, in front of it put # and save the file then rerun the apt-get update | 00:08 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, be right back,,nature call | 00:08 |
| jjb123 | Does anyone see anything wrong with this CRON tab? http://paste.ubuntu.com/659623/ I'd doesn't seem to be working and I don't know how to debug it. | 00:08 |
| Thaumx | coz_ I'll try that command now, here's the output from the others http://paste.ubuntu.com/659622/ | 00:09 |

| GTAXL | Hello? | 00:14 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, What's up? | 00:18 |
| === arakthor is now known as viashimo | ||
| GTAXL | I can't seem to get things involving flash or "swf files" to work on Ubuntu apache2. | 00:19 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, Well, apache 2 is how old now? | 00:19 |
| bazhang | GTAXL, to do what? | 00:19 |
| GTAXL | Such things like jwplayer, speedtest mini, and lightIRC aren't appearing in my Google Chrome. | 00:19 |
| GTAXL | I just see a blank page. :/ | 00:19 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, Then it may not be apache. | 00:19 |
| GTAXL | Flash works just fine in my Chrome tho. | 00:20 |
| GTAXL | Apache version 2.2.17 | 00:20 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, Apache is an HTTP server. Not a web browser. | 00:20 |
| GTAXL | I know. | 00:20 |
| bazhang | GTAXL, why mention it then | 00:20 |
| GTAXL | But flash doesn't seem to work. :/ | 00:20 |
| cmanns | ah got ubuntu going slowly but steady | 00:21 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, And, if you want a whole page to load an SWF, check the code for the page, and make sure it's referencing the right information. And, This is Ubuntu supprt, not Apache. | 00:21 |
| cmanns | Only issue now is whenever I click certain progs in xfce it brings up a dialog for pass and its not my user/sudo pass :| | 00:21 |
| GTAXL | It deals with ubuntu. :p | 00:21 |
| OmegaForte | GTAXL, No, it deals with apache. Because I bet you fifty dollars that it's apache/your page and not Ubuntu. | 00:22 |
| cmanns | have you clared chromes cache | 00:22 |
| GTAXL | I'm going to try on my Firefox right now. :p | 00:22 |
| GTAXL | It happend to me on my vps too. :/ | 00:23 |

| Thaumx | coz_, I can't seem to find anything in the sources.list related to the purchased software. nothing using https, either | 00:23 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, ok then I am puzzled,,, as I said I have not attempted to purchase anything so far,, it may be a bug,,, I would go ahead and try to report this on launchpad for ubuntu 11.04 | 00:24 |
| Thaumx | coz_, yeah, that seems to be the only thing to do. I have no idea what could be causing the issue :( | 00:25 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, understood,,, I cant think of a solution at all,, unless someone here is more familiar with it than I am | 00:26 |
| Ainslee | hi, i'm trying to get kvm going by using the ubuntu wiki, it's telling me in networking to edit the compatability.conf file, but the line that it says to edit, isn't in the file, do i just insert it? (new to ubuntu etc) | 00:26 |

| coz_ | Tharlinn, sorry | 00:28 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, lines 52 and 53 | 00:28 |
| clausen | any suggestions on how to debug this? | 00:28 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, I believe it may be the natty partner repos but not sure | 00:28 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, oh wait,, perhaps the last two on that page | 00:29 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, lines 57 and 58 | 00:29 |
| Thaumx | coz_, ok, I'll try 57 and 58. | 00:29 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, yeah,, just put # in front ,,save file,,, then do update | 00:29 |
| Thaumx | coz_, doing it, brb | 00:30 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, you can always reneable them later | 00:30 |
| Thaumx | coz_, well this time it paused at 93% instead of 94, while trying to connect. didn't work though. | 00:33 |
| lolwut | When using "apt-get install" what does the up carrot after a package indicate? ex: sudo apt-get install lamp-server&^ I understand that is installing the the required packages for a lamp server but haven't found documentation on how that works | 00:33 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, then try the other 2 lines for the partner repos | 00:33 |

| boywonder | hi i was here earlier i know this is a bit off topic, i have a mounted network drive but it points to a folder in the drive,is this usual or can i point it to the drive where there is 7 shares? | 00:37 |
| Thaumx | coz_, seems to have the same problem. I wonder if I'm missing something in there? | 00:37 |
| clausen | does anyone know which component of Ubuntu parses the LiveCD boot command "netcfg/disable_dhcp=true"? | 00:37 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, mm I dont think that is the issue,, somehow it is trying to find the link for that particular piece of software,, could be that PPA is down | 00:38 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, try a reboot,, and then try the update,, see if it gets rid of wanting to attempt to download that software,, or find the main site for that software and contact the developer about it | 00:38 |
| cmanns | So I got the nvidia drivers installed, blank screen after boots. How can I single user? | 00:39 |
| Thaumx | coz_, I tried that, they contacted the software people, and said the server is up. it's just not authenticating or something | 00:39 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, ooooo thats not good news | 00:39 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, then I am completely stuck,, create the bug report,, see what solutions they come up with | 00:40 |
| alexThunder | Thaumx: what's your problem? | 00:40 |
| Thaumx | I can't connect to the PPA that serves out purchased software | 00:40 |
| Thaumx | https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/ | 00:41 |
| Thaumx | what's funny about it, is that it doesn't work on either of my computers. both had ubuntu installed only last week | 00:41 |
| Thaumx | coz_, thanks for your help. I'll try a bug report :) | 00:42 |
| szal | Thaumx: afaics, the PPA is empty | 00:42 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, sorry I couldnt solve this one for you | 00:42 |
| Thaumx | szal, the ppa is empty? | 00:43 |
| Thaumx | szal, https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/bcs/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages https://private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/beep/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 00:44 |
| szal | Thaumx: ok, those both require credentials | 00:46 |
| Thaumx | szal, yeah... I don't know what the issue is. I bought the software from the software center... but it won't let me download it (software center or via apt-get) | 00:46 |
| Thaumx | szal, they say the server is up and working... so it seems to be something on my end... but I have no idea what it could be | 00:47 |
| serpen64 | re.^^ | 00:49 |
| serpen64 | erf :S! ca fonctionne toujours pas. :( | 00:49 |
| serpen64 | oops | 00:49 |

| serpen64 | fail | 00:49 |
| FloodBot1 | serpen64: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:49 |
| szal | lol | 00:49 |
| Thaumx | szal, both the items show up as purchased in the software center... they just never "update cache" when installing there | 00:50 |
| szal | Thaumx: my guess (I never bought something there) is that you need a way to enter the credentials they provided for you; so either they have sent you instructions on how to do that, or you should ask | 00:52 |
| alexThunder | no that's not necessary | 00:52 |
| alexThunder | Thaumx: what does apt-get update say? | 00:53 |
| lapaga | Thaumx: wonder if the word uploaders means anything? | 00:53 |
| Thaumx | here's the apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/659642/ | 00:54 |
| Thaumx | brb, call of nature | 00:54 |
| lapaga | commercial-ppa-uploaders almost sounds like a place for companies or people to upload their software | 00:57 |
| Thaumx | lapaga, I'm not sure. none of that information is visible from the software center, only apt-get update. I've tried two purchases, so it seems unlikely that it's a problem with a single item | 01:00 |
| qin | Can someone tell me how it not restart after upgrade? | 01:01 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, go purchase world of goo ,, cool game about $10,,, worth the money,, but purchase it on their site :) | 01:01 |
| Thaumx | plus john at canonical says the server is working and he was able to DL fine. | 01:01 |
| coz_ | ooo | 01:01 |
| alexThunder | when did u purchase it? | 01:02 |
| coz_ | Thaumx, see thats the puzzled isnt it? | 01:02 |
| Thaumx | coz, I had world of goo for windows, loved it! | 01:02 |

| coz_ | night all | 01:03 |
| alexThunder | the purchase from wednesday didn't work as well? | 01:03 |
| Thaumx | nope | 01:03 |
| alexThunder | mh, i heard, that some purchases need some time, but that should be too long | 01:03 |
| Imsoniacnerd | hi there, i am having a funny issue with my ubuntu 10.4 server. i have sugarcrm running on apache and after the update when i go to the web address from my browser on a windows ssystem it just asks me to save or open application/x-httpd-php. i have also had this same issue withe rother php sites on ym server after update. any way to fix it? | 01:04 |

| TonyFisher | spencerbook, from your hostmask it shows you are logging in via web. I would suggest you get an IRC client since you are new to IRC. | 01:47 |
| spencerbook | okay thanks ironm and TonyFisher. irc is not why im here though. i need help with xinput/trackpad | 01:47 |
| rypervenche | spencerbook: xchat is a good IRC client. | 01:47 |
| jwiggins | XChat is fairly easy to use and is available through the "Software Center" | 01:47 |
| jwiggins | that response just happened to come right after rypervenche... I'm not a bot :) | 01:48 |
| ironm | I use xchat too .. one of best IRC-clients I have ever used | 01:48 |
| TonyFisher | Sorry spencerbook :/ my bad | 01:49 |
| jwiggins | Use to use bitchx but xchat has that bitchx + mIRC feel :) | 01:49 |
| potatoe | aes 128 ? | 01:49 |
| spencerbook | TonyFisher, or anyone, where do i go for support/help? | 01:49 |
| TonyFisher | spencerbook, if Ubuntu is your OS you're in the right place, but you might also like to try #linux | 01:50 |
| spencerbook | okay well i need tech support, so what should i do? | 01:51 |

| obert | grrr my clock is still bad. | 01:52 |
| osmosis | i need a doc for install Intel HD GT2 graphics card drivers on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. | 01:52 |
| italoxp | osmosis, tried opening Additional Drivers? | 01:53 |
| osmosis | italoxp, where? | 01:53 |
| galamar | ironm, no but the card has multiple other features that I want to use. | 01:53 |
| italoxp | Are you on Unity? | 01:53 |
| osmosis | italoxp, you mean "Hardware Drivers" ? | 01:53 |
| spencerbook | osmosis on unity just search it | 01:53 |
| osmosis | italoxp, ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 01:53 |
| italoxp | Maybe, I dunno whats there | 01:53 |
| obert | and i got UTC=no in /etc/default/rcS | 01:53 |
| spencerbook | osmosis on gnome go to system > administration > additional drivers | 01:53 |
| italoxp | osmosis, should be this one | 01:54 |
| ironm | interesting galamar .. what features e.g. ? | 01:54 |
| osmosis | there is nothing called additional drivers there | 01:54 |
| italoxp | osmosis, go on Hardware drivers | 01:54 |
| osmosis | italoxp, okay...went there. Got my wifi drivers. No video though. | 01:54 |
| italoxp | So, no idea. | 01:54 |
| spencerbook | reinstall / update fglrx | 01:54 |
| italoxp | fglrx? | 01:55 |
| italoxp | He's using Intel! | 01:55 |
| italoxp | fglrx is ATI | 01:55 |
| alexThunder | amd :D | 01:55 |
| spencerbook | italoxp nvm then | 01:55 |
| italoxp | ATI, AMD, you got it | 01:55 |
| spencerbook | anybody know anything about synaptics pointing devices? | 01:55 |
| RenaKunisaki | is there something I need to do to make changes in hosts.allow take effect? | 01:56 |
| italoxp | Well, they are nice. I use one. Use drivers on xf86-input-synpatics package. | 01:56 |
| galamar | ironm, like hooking up my ps2 or other things and using the capture options. or record other things that I can input through it. like an old vhs my sister has of my dad so I can make a dvd of it. | 01:56 |
| italoxp | RenaKunisaki, restart, maybe? | 01:56 |
| RenaKunisaki | besides rebooting? >.> | 01:56 |
| italoxp | Really don't know. | 01:56 |
| italoxp | What's wrong with rebooting? | 01:57 |
| jenkinSear | RenaKunisaki: What service are you allowing? Ssh? | 01:57 |
| rypervenche | italoxp: Linux users don't understand what it means, lol. | 01:57 |
| RenaKunisaki | nfs | 01:57 |
| RenaKunisaki | prefer not to have to interrupt everything else | 01:57 |
| osmosis | may ill just install 11.04 | 01:58 |
| spencerbook | this is not helpful | 01:59 |
| galamar | ironm, also the card has a fm tuner I would like to use, and eventually maybe the remote features. | 01:59 |
| jenkinSear | RenaKunisaki: I'd do something like sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart | 02:00 |
| ironm | galamar, it sounds good | 02:00 |
| italoxp | rypervenche, depending of what you're talking about, it's the easiest solution. Or the fastest. | 02:01 |
| galamar | ironm, any help or just curiosities? | 02:01 |
| RenaKunisaki | nope still not working | 02:01 |
| RenaKunisaki | I have in hosts.allow: nfsd:rei, yuki | 02:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | but yuki is being denied access | 02:02 |
| RenaKunisaki | tried without the comma too | 02:02 |
| jenkinSear | Maybe check /var/log/secure , see what's complaining? | 02:02 |
| spencerbook | help plox with trackpad. it stopped working after a suspend on acer aspire one. | 02:03 |
| RenaKunisaki | no such file, nothing in auth.log | 02:03 |
| ironm | galamar, sorry .. I don't know this software | 02:03 |
| galamar | ironm, what is the error mean by "Card failed to allocate capture buffers: Invalid argument - Segmentation fault"? | 02:05 |
| buttons | does anyone know what compression level tar -zcvf uses? I looked in the man page and nothing was said about it | 02:05 |
| escott | buttons, whatever the default for gzip would be. if you want to control it gzip it after tarring | 02:05 |
| WinCamXP | i just watched some Windows 8 preview thing....IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP | 02:06 |
| WinCamXP | if they actually do that, I'm getting a network card that supports Ubuntu and using that, which is really what I should do now | 02:06 |
| rypervenche | italoxp: It was a joke :P | 02:07 |
| buttons | thanks | 02:07 |
| ironm | galamar, you should check if there is a newer version of the software | 02:07 |
| ironm | galamar, sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy name_of_the_package | 02:08 |
| WinCamXP | has anybody ever gotten Steam working on Linux? Ever? | 02:08 |
| WinCamXP | through Wine, of course | 02:08 |
| WinCamXP | hmmm, just found an interesting vid..........hmmmmm | 02:09 |
| WinCamXP | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxwnk33gxm0 | 02:09 |
| escott | WinCamXP, not likely to get steam working under wine (but feel free to check winehq) there are occasional (usually unfounded) rumors of steam for linux. please try to keep your comments/questions to one line | 02:10 |
| WinCamXP | hmmm, there seems to be some h4x bash scripts and stuff that get it working, but those probably break with updates | 02:11 |
| akavir | Steam works ok for me in mint 11 | 02:11 |
| WinCamXP | using wine? | 02:11 |
| akavir | Downloaded Fallout:NV through it | 02:11 |
| akavir | yes with wine | 02:11 |
| almoxarife | I am assuming I don't need steam? | 02:11 |
| RenaKunisaki | ahh, I needed to update /etc/exports as well | 02:12 |
| aeon-ltd | even under wine, if you afford to have a powerful enough machine to compensate for the performance drop you could at least spend the time to either dualboot or buy windows | 02:12 |
| aeon-ltd | *if you could afford | 02:12 |
| WinCamXP | ahahah yeah | 02:12 |
| almoxarife | can someone tell me where xbmc stores video files while they run? | 02:12 |
| WinCamXP | just a couple days ago i wubi'd Ubuntu onto two laptops, both of the users prefer it over windows greatly | 02:13 |
| almoxarife | not as sexy as getting steam to work but it would make me happy\ | 02:13 |
| galamar | WinCamXP, try crossover it is better than wine for me. it still uses some wine code I think. | 02:13 |
| akavir | I do have a duel boot with windows on my gaming computer, but it's interesting to see how well a game designed for windows works on linux | 02:13 |
| WinCamXP | from what I know that's the kinda more polished version of Wine | 02:13 |
| akavir | it's also commercial | 02:13 |
| almoxarife | steam=virtualbox+winxp/win7 <-- see, never left ubuntu, just sexed it up a bit | 02:14 |
| WinCamXP | lol virtualbox FTW | 02:14 |
| Dulak | Cedega works really really well for gaming. Crossover is ok but aimed more at office type apps than games. | 02:14 |
| dinesh_ | hi | 02:14 |
| WinCamXP | ....hi | 02:14 |
| Dulak | wine 1.3 works pretty good for me though. | 02:14 |
| dinesh_ | i am zorin os 5 | 02:14 |
| akavir | I've had more success with wine than with vb running windows | 02:14 |
| WinCamXP | why would you need support for office apps with Open/LibreOffice? | 02:15 |
| ironm | good luck galamar | 02:15 |
| ironm | I have to leave | 02:15 |
| WinCamXP | worst case scenario it can't render a .docx properly, and it's not hard to convert it to old-skool .doc | 02:15 |
| galamar | ok thanks | 02:15 |
| escott | WinCamXP, lots of corporate vba code | 02:16 |
| Dulak | WinCamXP: vba | 02:16 |
| szal | dinesh_: doesn't matter what OS you use unless you have a support question, then it needs to be Ubuntu or a _supported_ derivative | 02:16 |
| dinesh_ | sorry my question is. how to make alt+tab into more graphical like cover switch | 02:17 |
| szal | dinesh_: I don't think that Zorin OS qualifies as a supported *buntu derivative | 02:20 |

| mcurran | i just was too | 02:22 |
| ZombieRome | output is really crackly, but it wasn't in 10.10 | 02:22 |
| mcurran | do you have a front mic ? | 02:22 |
| ZombieRome | it's on a headset and it's plugged into the front port | 02:23 |
| szal | tried another port? | 02:23 |
| ZombieRome | it comes up as "Front Microphone" in Sound Preferences | 02:23 |
| mcurran | I couldn't get mine to work, so I tried the front instead of the back and now it's working in the front, but still not the back. Don't know about quality though | 02:23 |
| ZombieRome | problem with the back port is that sound from that port had less volume in 10.10 | 02:23 |
| ZombieRome | i'll try now, though | 02:24 |
| mcurran | did you try to adjust alsamixer | 02:24 |
| mcurran | pulseaudio sucks, but I'm trying to keep it right now | 02:24 |
| tainted | my ubuntu machine keeps locking up | 02:24 |
| tainted | how do i figure out what happened? | 02:24 |
| mcurran | I'm using brasero and burning a disc has almost completely disabled this machine. Ridiculous resource hog | 02:24 |
| akavir | szal:There website works http://zorin-os.com/ | 02:24 |
| mcurran | ps x and check the process values | 02:24 |
| szal | mcurran, ZombieRome: no real need to tinker w/ alsamixer here, just fire up pavucontrol & adjust hardware volume if necessary | 02:25 |
| ZombieRome | whoa! microphone sounds better when i turned down Front Mi in alsamixer | 02:25 |
| mcurran | i had python-imaging and a couple other python packages totally drowning out my machine last week. A simple reinstall fixed it. | 02:25 |
| akavir | szal:They've gone through like 4 websites, the one that google brings back isn't even their new main site. It's a pretty "special" distro | 02:25 |

| Dulak | tainted: have a look at the logs in /var/log | 02:26 |
| escott | !sysrq | tainted ... then check the logs | 02:26 |
| ubottu | tainted ... then check the logs: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 02:26 |
| mcurran | yeah, good to hear ZombieRome. Pavucontrol works pretty good too for pulse, but basically the same settings as the default sound preferences app. | 02:26 |
| mcurran | yeah, or use xkill, works pissa | 02:26 |
| nand` | How good is 10-bit support in Ubuntu? | 02:26 |
| nand` | Are there any display drivers which support it? | 02:26 |

| Seanmc98|mobile | Is there a way to remove grub, remove ubuntu 11.04, and keep windows vista without having to have a windows install disk? | 02:53 |
| escott | Seanmc98|mobile, you would need to restore the windows boot loader. not sure if that can be done within linux or not | 02:54 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I can boot into windows | 02:54 |
| escott | !mbr | 02:55 |
| 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) | 02:55 |
| escott | Seanmc98|mobile, i think its something like fixmbr or some such | 02:56 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | escott: is that for windows or ubuntu | 02:56 |
| escott | Seanmc98|mobile, you can then boot the install media/livecd and grow the ntfs partition out | 02:56 |
| szal | escott: in XP, yes, in Vista/Win7, it's reportedly a bit different, but in any case it needs a Windows boot medium | 02:56 |
| szal | getting rid of any non-Windows OS is the easy part: just format the partition(s) | 02:57 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I just screwed up vista by installing kaspersky antivirus and my system is super super lagging and grub wont allow me to restore windows through acerbic e recovery manager | 02:58 |
| mcurran | "grub wont allow me to restore windows through acerbic e recovery manager" what? | 02:58 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Acer | 02:58 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Sorry. Auto correct | 02:59 |
| mcurran | download a windows vista iso and use the recovery console | 02:59 |
| sunzaru | Why not just uninstall? | 02:59 |
| mcurran | or you might be able to use ms-sys | 02:59 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | It wont. No matter what it wind uninstall | 02:59 |
| mcurran | it's called formatting :) | 03:00 |
| escott | Seanmc98|mobile, the windows restore functionality (which is probably what acer's recovery is based on) will want to replace the mbr | 03:00 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I tried normal uninstall CMD uninstall and nothing | 03:00 |
| [deXter] | Hi all, anyone here have any experience with Logitech ClearChat Pro USB Headset? | 03:00 |
| mcurran | yes, put grub on the linux partition and then restore the mbr, and then go back and make the linux partition the active/boot parition, simple | 03:00 |
| hikenboot | noone in here has used open xchange? | 03:01 |
| mcurran | so many people have this problem, it's ridiculous, someday they might change the default install behavior for grub. | 03:01 |
| mcurran | ? | 03:01 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | So escott what do u suggest I do? | 03:01 |
| sunzaru | Hiken, not me but...I'll be trying it in a few days. | 03:01 |
| szal | mcurran: what problem? | 03:01 |
| mcurran | overwriting the windows mbr when the os is detected, instead of just installing grub to the linux parition and marking it active | 03:02 |
| mcurran | then chainloading windows | 03:02 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | No clue what u just said. Lol | 03:02 |
| sunzaru | Heheh | 03:03 |
| mcurran | then we wouldn't have every new user here panicking thinking they just bricked their windows install | 03:03 |
| sunzaru | ...its making windows sys restore harder than it should be. | 03:03 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | I know I didn't brick it. Its just a pin there are certain things I use windows for. | 03:03 |
| hikenboot | sunzaru: can you send me a paragraph on how good you think it is after a week of use? I have a client looking for an alternative to exchange? I will try ad stay connected for the next week... | 03:03 |
| mcurran | I totally agree. I wouldn't use windows, if games were up to par | 03:04 |
| escott | Seanmc98|mobile, i'm afraid i don't have a good suggestion. after this pain you may want to use a real backup tool like dd or ghostimage | 03:04 |
| mcurran | omg haha | 03:04 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | What the heck is the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium. ended up downloading and installing both | 03:04 |
| mcurran | yeah, keep believing that propaganda escott | 03:04 |
| szal | Nubi1Kenobi: Chrome has proprietary components, Chromium is entirely open-source | 03:05 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | That is what I thought | 03:05 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | cool... | 03:05 |
| cmanns | ok so i gotg | 03:05 |
| cmanns | nvidia-96-kernel-source | 03:05 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | I think Chromium was working better... | 03:05 |
| cmanns | How come I can m-a the kernel modules? | 03:05 |
| jeffrash | chrome is google's branded version of Chromium | 03:05 |
| szal | cmanns: you can what? | 03:05 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | Another question... | 03:05 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | I downloaded xchat..... | 03:06 |
| cmanns | can't* | 03:06 |
| cmanns | Sorry arthritis is kicking in | 03:06 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, what is your issue? | 03:06 |
| szal | Nubi1Kenobi: define 'downloaded' | 03:06 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | cant figure out how to install it....one of the files said something about compiling?? | 03:06 |
| mcurran | cmanns, no, use nvidia's drivers and compile the modules yourself, much better. | 03:06 |
| mcurran | what do you use a geforce 4 | 03:06 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Such | 03:06 |
| cmanns | Even for legacy gpus? | 03:06 |
| cmanns | mcurran, yep | 03:06 |
| [deXter] | Nubi1Kenobi: There's no need to do that | 03:06 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | I was a Windows only user until the other day...trying to figure this out | 03:06 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | [deXter]: ok | 03:06 |

| szal | Nubi1Kenobi: rule #1: you don't need to download anything from websites, look in your favourite software management application first | 03:07 |
| mcurran | yeah, just download that version of the drive and install it the way it tells u on the nvidia site | 03:07 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | DOH! | 03:07 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, and next time use my nick in your reply, then I can see you | 03:07 |
| mcurran | or use something like the restricted driver tool (jockey) | 03:07 |

| szal | [deXter]: this is #ubuntu, not #fedora | 03:08 |
| cmanns | mcurran, sure I should do from source install | 03:08 |

| szal | cmanns: what is your problem anyway? | 03:09 |
| szal | !terminal | sublim21 | 03:09 |
| Guest29749 | Hi I am installing ubuntu on my laptop but have run into some problems | 03:09 |
| ubottu | sublim21: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:09 |
| mcurran | basically download the linux driver 96.whatever and then startup in command line, or do Ctrl+Alt+F2/kill gdm/windowmanger, and then run the .sh | 03:09 |
| sublim21 | much obliged | 03:09 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, you screwed up grub? | 03:10 |
| Guest29749 | It seems to install fine and boots into the gdm gui at start but if I restart it it gets stuck and does not boot into gui | 03:10 |
| mcurran | you'll need to install linux-headers, fakeroot, configure-debian as well | 03:10 |
| cmanns | szal, on first propritary video driver install it failed | 03:10 |
| szal | cmanns: what failed? | 03:10 |
| cmanns | so i did a few other things and i noticed theres never an nvidia.ko and what not so its not installing right | 03:10 |
| cmanns | no idea apt-get never spits out an error | 03:10 |
| cmanns | So I try to manually make the modules with m-a auto install n such but it looks for wrong kernel source packages n such | 03:10 |
| szal | cmanns: 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-96 && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot | 03:10 |
| szal | cmanns: and make sure dkms is also installed | 03:11 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | No | 03:11 |
| cmanns | yeah but I have no ko | 03:11 |
| cmanns | dkms? | 03:11 |
| mcurran | nvidia.ko is just a module and if you've already tried a bunch; you should uninstall whatever you've already installed and try again. My advice just use jockey if you don't know what your doing, works great | 03:11 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Duckfd: no grub works | 03:11 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24113 | 03:11 |
| cmanns | How do I use jockey | 03:11 |
| mcurran | you'll need to add afew lines to xorg.conf as well< option "AddARGBVisuals" "true" and option "AddARGBLXVisuals" "true" if you want' compiz to work on the geforce 4 without blakc boxes for windows | 03:12 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, your not the first... | 03:12 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Not the first what | 03:12 |
| mcurran | just install it and then look for the restricted drivers manager in the menu | 03:12 |
| [deXter] | Nubi1Kenobi: Whoops, sorry, wrong channel :P | 03:13 |
| cmanns | mcurran, so how do I get nvidia.ko? | 03:13 |
| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, not the first to mess up grub,.. | 03:13 |
| Guest29749 | with a geforce 550 do I need to install the restricted drivers? | 03:13 |
| [deXter] | Nubi1Kenobi: for ubuntu it's sudo apt-get install xchat | 03:13 |

| Seanmc98|mobile | I have this.....http://db.tt/R1l7ouX | 03:14 |
| mcurran | nvidia.ko will be installed by any of the ways you install the driver. or nv.ko | 03:14 |
| sunzaru | Sean: as in... done with ubuntu?? | 03:15 |
| mcurran | don't worry about nvidia.ko | 03:15 |
| escott | leftist, you could try using the ntfs-3g which is a fuse driver | 03:15 |
| mcurran | that's beyond the scope of your issue | 03:15 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | sunzaru: for now yes | 03:15 |
| cmanns | ok | 03:15 |
| escott | leftist, but you really need to do what it says and run windows check disk | 03:15 |
| mcurran | Seanmc98, if you insist on restoring windows with linux, use ms-sys | 03:15 |
| cmanns | I got nvidia-96.ko in /lib/modules/3.0.0-7-generic/updates/dkms/ << | 03:15 |
| mcurran | simple command-line tool built for that purpose | 03:15 |
| leftist | we cant we dont have any windows laptops with us. only unix | 03:16 |

I plan to have three 1TB drives connected to the card, I would then like to use mdadm to create a RAID for the server. My problem is that most of the SATA controllers seem to also be Fake-RAID cards too and that seems to cause a compatibility issue. This server is | 03:17 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Duckfd: no I want to remove grub and ubuntu to boot into acer e recovery manager to restore windows and then dualboot with ubuntu again | 03:17 |
| cmanns | woot | 03:17 |
| cmanns | I got it szal, thank you | 03:17 |
| cmanns | I had to modprobe -i nvidia-96 | 03:17 |
| Nubi1Kenobi | ? | 03:17 |
| escott | briscoejesse, fakeraid won't cause problems, just don't use it | 03:18 |
| KE1HA | Seanmc98|mobile: All you should ahve to so is use your recovery CD, as the partition is still there. Once the WinDoze boot loader is working again, it's a repartition exercise then. | 03:18 |

| Duckfd | Seanmc98|mobile, first please get a new nick ...then I'll help fo sure | 03:19 |
| KE1HA | Seanmc98|mobile: Any recovery CD form your vintange, Win7, Vista etc etc. Without it, your kinda stuck. | 03:19 |
| craigsaboe | Seanmc98|mobile: One way to get rid of grub is to boot to a windows install disk, and go to the Recovery Console. Running "fixboot" and "fixmbr" will fix it up. | 03:19 |
| leftist | this is ubsurd. not a single suggestion other then the obvious which cant be done. | 03:20 |
| briscoejesse | escott, thanks for the reply. I'm a little gunshy as I just had a bad experience with a sabrent card that was based on a silicon image chip. It wouldn't boot past detecting the drives. Is there a chip maker or brand that has proven reliable? | 03:20 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Why Duckfd | 03:20 |
| mcurran | KE1HA, I have plenty of Windows ISO's if you want me to host one. | 03:20 |
| mcurran | a simple search could get u the same as well | 03:20 |

| justdave | it appears to want to autoconfigure everything, but I'm using a composite output for the monitor | 03:22 |
| leftist | seveas are you around? | 03:22 |
| escott | briscoejesse, check what chipsets are supported in the kernel | 03:22 |
| Dulak | justdave: yes create /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 03:22 |
| justdave | and the video card can't detect if there's anything connected to it or not | 03:22 |
| craigsaboe | seanmc98: do the proposed fixes make sense to you? Don't worry about the other guy. | 03:22 |
| mcurran | justdave, use the screen section | 03:22 |
| KE1HA | mcurran: Im not 100% on this but I think any recovery CD from the same Distro win7-32 or 64 whatever he has should work, so anybody with the same distro could make the recovery CD | 03:22 |
| Dulak | briscoejesse: never go cheap on I/O cards. Skip the BS and buy a 3ware and never worry about it. | 03:22 |
| Duckfd | seanmc98, not much but lets go..... | 03:22 |
| mcurran | yeah, maybe | 03:22 |
| briscoejesse | Dulak, if it were my choice I would but I don't sign the check | 03:23 |
| seanmc98 | craigsaboe, what do you meAN? | 03:23 |
| seanmc98 | Duckfd, go where? | 03:23 |

| craigsaboe | seanmc98: the answer I think is you probably need to get a windows install disk, to restore the MBR. | 03:24 |
| obert | should i needed to use sudo too often,correct? | 03:24 |
| leftist | http://pastebin.com/VBg427gs i searched on google i tried the fedora trick it doesnt work. someone give me a ubuntu trick | 03:24 |

| Logan_ | ariel`: sudo pkill <package name> | 03:26 |
| seanmc98 | Duckfd, i need to remove grub, remove ubuntu and the i have it from there but i dont have a windows CD | 03:26 |
| leftist | ke1ha we were using it as a shared drive. it did this before but we used a windows machine and it did whatever it did and then it worked. problem is it is loaded with a ton of code we need right now but we cant get to it and we dont have a windows machine around and there are no stores open here in atlanta to get one....so we despirately need to access this damn drive. | 03:26 |

| Duckfd | seanmc98, nah, don't remove anything, make the other partitions ext4 and yout good... | 03:27 |
| justdave | is that still in there? | 03:28 |
| KE1HA | leftist: Well, the only time I can recall hearing of this error was in one of two conditions, either a fundemental HW issue or the machine lost power in the middle of a read/write cycle, with the latter being corrected by doing a chkdsk -f | 03:28 |
| seanmc98 | Duckfd, how do i do that without formatting???/ | 03:28 |
| seanmc98 | craigsaboe, i dont have a CD | 03:28 |
| craigsaboe | seanmc98: create a windows boot disk, boot to it, and run fixmbr | 03:28 |
| escott | justdave, these days xorg.conf can usually be removed. nvidia drivers are the only main reason to have one | 03:29 |
| Duckfd | seanmc98, why do you want to format? | 03:29 |
| seanmc98 | i dont | 03:29 |
| mcurran | no, i think you need xorg.conf for the geforce 4, since it's not suppored anymore | 03:29 |
| justdave | escott: that's what I just explained: I don't have one and it doesn't work. I'm using a composite output, and it can't detect that apparently | 03:29 |
| ariel` | obert bow do you open the foce quit dialog | 03:29 |
| mcurran | at least if you want compiz to work on it | 03:29 |
| justdave | it worked fine until I upgraded and it removed the xorg.conf file | 03:29 |
| Duckfd | seanmc98, then dont... | 03:29 |
| seanmc98 | Duckfd, i just prefer to do it that way | 03:29 |

| ZombieRome | it's not drawing window titles when i hover over windows in scale | 03:30 |
| justdave | and it's a shared port with the DVI output on the card, so you can use one or the other but not both | 03:30 |
| justdave | so the card always sees the DVI and then says nothing's connected to it | 03:30 |
| mcurran | sean, just try adding those two lines I mentioned under the device section for the nvidia card in xorg.conf | 03:30 |
| Duckfd | seanmc98, Don't, linux can read anything... | 03:30 |
| justdave | I had to manually override something to tell it to use the composite before | 03:30 |
| craigsaboe | seanmc98: please ignore duckfd, at this point he's just screwing with you.. | 03:31 |

| Dulak | ghassan: add a file like 'newpath.sh' to /etc/profile.d and have it set the path. That will affect all users | 03:37 |
| tensorpudding | ghassan: it's not guaranteed to work, but you can add that line to /etc/profile | 03:37 |

| KE1HA | If you remove all other drivers, you probably dont need to usr blacklist as there aren't any conflicting drvs. | 03:48 |

| nankura | hello guys, im on xubuntu 11.04 and id like to install gnome 3 to try it out, but i noticed in the package manager theres 2 options of a package called "gnome" and one called "gnome-session" gnome seems to be a package that includes alot of software and tools. but im wondering if i install that, will it take over my XFCE installation, or can i choose either from gdm | 04:01 |
| escott | !gnome3 | nankura | 04:01 |
| ubottu | nankura: 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. | 04:01 |
| TBotNik | escott: But If I just restore it then back to square one, with it erroring. Do you know that the ownership and permissions are supposed to be on this file? When trouble start two things changed, 1. file somehow was chmod 775, 2. added "%myuser ALL=(ALL) ALL" to /etc/sudoers. | 04:02 |
| endip | Does anyone know how to blacklist a RLTR8169 driver so that it doesn't load? I know you have to add a line to blacklist.conf, but I don't know how. | 04:02 |
| klossor | hmm ubuntu is outputting to 2 monitors (mirrored image) at the moment, though when I try to extend them I get an error stating the configuration request (3800 x 1920) cant be output... any idea's folks? | 04:02 |
| TBotNik | escott: Going to undo the sudoers now, but still do not understand the issue with the .profile file? | 04:02 |
| escott | TBotNik, permissions on your .profile shouldn't matter that much but 644 is sufficient | 04:04 |
| escott | TBotNik, mainly it shouldn be writable by other users since it gets executed all the time | 04:05 |
| TBotNik | escott: Set at 755 right now | 04:06 |
| Generic_Dumbass | Where does Ktorrent put your downloads by default? | 04:08 |
| TBotNik | escott: Thinking the entry is sudoers, was changing the uid level from 1000 to something else and therefore making it not readable, as seeing it no longer belonging to the user. | 04:08 |
| TBotNik | escott: Think I'm right? | 04:09 |
| Generic_Dumbass | Disregard my question, Ktorrent became unreadable under High Contrast theme and it took a while | 04:10 |
| TBotNik | K BRB rebooting | 04:10 |
| escott | TBotNik, doubt it, making your user capably of sudo-ing doesn't mean that applications will automatically sudo | 04:10 |
| TBotNik | Maybe will see on reboot! | 04:11 |
| mcurran | how about changing your userid to 0 and editing sudoers file to make u equal to root. That's what I do. | 04:11 |
| nankura | hey guys, ok i downloaded a phew games with the package manager and bits of software and im wondering, when u download a package or game, or program. with software center, or package manager, does it store the packages anywhere on the pc? so u can back it up and not have to redownload it | 04:11 |
| mcurran | Because I know what I'm doing. :) | 04:11 |
| escott | nankura, /var/cache/apt | 04:12 |
| no-name- | hmm, i unchecked "show controls" in totem media player... does anybody know how to get them back ? | 04:12 |
| no-name- | oh, nvm ... ctrl + h | 04:13 |
| Caradoc | /ignore * JOINS | 04:13 |
| rcmaehl | Is there a graphical representation of the ARP tables kinda like the windows graphical network map I can get anywhere? | 04:15 |
| mcurran | Is there a way to force a package install with either synaptic/apt or dpkg? Ignoring dependencies? For instance I already install nmap via source, and now want to install pbnj, but it won't let me, even though nmap is installed... | 04:15 |
| escott | mcurran, see dpkg | 04:15 |
| OmegaForte | mcurran, Yeah, it's in the apt-cache. I believe it's in /etc/apt? | 04:16 |
| OmegaForte | mcurran, Disreguard that. | 04:16 |
| OmegaForte | nankura, Yeah, it's in the apt-cache. I believe it's in /etc/apt? | 04:16 |
| escott | mcurran, man dpkg | grep force | 04:16 |
| mcurran | no, those solutions don't work | 04:17 |
| mcurran | they just wanna make me install the repo's version of the dependency | 04:17 |
| escott | rcmaehl, if you can extract the arp table I would just send it through graphviz | 04:18 |
| nankura | i found it in /var/cache/apt/archives | 04:18 |
| nankura | total of 2.1GB XD | 04:18 |

| Guest29749 | for Nvidia graphics cards how to ensure the drivers are correctly installed? | 04:19 |

| theadmin | faint545: And some programs clear it themselves, too. | 04:25 |
| escott | faint545, /tmp usually on reboot | 04:25 |
| faint545 | gotcha, thx | 04:25 |
| theadmin | faint545: If you want, you can add something like "@hourly rm -r /tmp/*" to crontab to clean it hourly, however it can break things | 04:26 |

| bazhang | endip, what driver, and for what | 04:33 |
| escott | endip, do you need to be root to compile it? you probably need to give the full path | 04:34 |

| TBotNik | Guys: Reading the HOWTOs supposed to be able to hit "ESC" @ grub prompt or "SHIFT" during boot progress screen and get to boot option screen where "e" to edit can be executed. Problem is I don't get a GRUB prompt and the "SHIFT" during load progress does not work. Since I can not login to my box, how do I get around this? | 04:46 |
| bazhang | nhocht, what chipset, pci or usb | 04:46 |
| TBotNik | All: Maybe I should ask, How do I get the GRUB prompt back? | 04:46 |
| rww | TBotNik: when your BIOS screen pops up after you press the power button, hold down shift. continue holding down shift. GRUB should pop up. | 04:47 |
| rww | If you get to the plymouth boot splash thing, you did it wrong. | 04:47 |
| TBotNik | rww: Think I already stated "that doesn't work", but if not here it is again. | 04:47 |
| rww | TBotNik: I read what you said. You're doing it at the wrong time if it's not working :P | 04:48 |
| TBotNik | rww: Anyway I want it to alway show, not have to worry about holding a key "at the right time" since that does not work at all on this box. Tried it at least 20 times now and nothing. | 04:49 |
| ejv | hello, usb keyboard doesn't work at grub bootloader, how do I correct this? | 04:50 |

| endip | bazhang, Those instructions aren't working. (I wish knew the ins-and-outs of compiling.) I don't know how to frickin' compile these drivers and none of the instructions I've found inline is working. | 04:50 |
| rww | TBotNik: I forget, but if you're using GRUB 2, it's in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:50 |
| TBotNik | rww: Someone has this box set to "0" seconds show time, that is why does not show and pressing ESC or SHIFT not working. | 04:51 |

| endip | luckman212_, I don't know, any one. | 05:22 |
| Seanmc98|mobile | Duckfd: are you in? | 05:22 |
| luckysmack | endip, i mean run that command. 'which make' | 05:22 |

| javier | I went through the cd, and created the root space, swap space, and got through the install, and then my boot got screwed | 05:23 |
| oscalation | wols_, care to walk me through that ? | 05:23 |
| luckysmack | endip, you can do that for any command to find that info on it. same thing for 'where make' to show where the binary is | 05:23 |
| endip | wols: "Missing destination file operand after 'build-essential' | 05:23 |
| javier | so I recovered my boot with the windows cd | 05:23 |
| javier | and am back to windows | 05:24 |
| luckysmack | endip, 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' | 05:24 |
| dsnyders | javier, any reason you're going with wubi rather than the standard CD install? | 05:24 |

| endip | luckysmack, I'm having a hell of a time installing this driver. So far every set of instructions I've followed hasn't worked on my system. | 05:25 |
| luckysmack | ah then yea youll need to connect before you can do that. but if you have make you may already have build essential. | 05:25 |
| endip | luckysmack, Does Ubuntu come with kernal sources? | 05:26 |
| wols_ | endip: do you know how to install things in ubuntu? | 05:26 |
| dsnyders | javier, Perhaps a virtual machine? | 05:26 |
| luckysmack | im not too familiar with installing those. havent had my nic not be supported | 05:26 |
| endip | wols: Yeah. But you can't install this realtek nic driver through the repos. You hav e to download and compile it. | 05:27 |
| wols_ | endip: then install build-essential. if you still get an error, paste your command and its output in a pastebin | 05:28 |

| corinth | ejv, Not yet. It will "soon," though. Through Chromium. | 05:32 |
| ejv | :( | 05:32 |
| endip | rww: thanks | 05:32 |
| wols_ | endip: build-essential consists of 10-20 packages | 05:32 |
| javier | can someone help me get through an install from the live cd? I am supposed to get an option where I can install alongside windows, and I don't get that option. I get erase or do somethin else | 05:32 |
| wols_ | endip: you either have it on your ubuntu cd itself or you will be in trouble | 05:32 |
| luckysmack | ejv, chromium is going to support the streaming? | 05:33 |
| ejv | no idea | 05:33 |
| corinth | javier, Run the CD in Windows. Then it will give you that option. | 05:33 |

| ejv | i asked lol | 05:33 |
| luckysmack | oops i meant corinth ^^ | 05:33 |
| rww | ejv: I'm skeptical of this whole "it will work soon" thing, btw. Netflix says 12 months from now. I say "lol ok". | 05:33 |
| wols_ | endip: well you can use apt-zip or such. but: I seriously doubt you can only go online with a specially compiled driver. just because you read that somehwere on the internet, doesn't make it true. but your choice what work you want to do | 05:33 |
| endip | wols: if it's on my ubuntu cd would it have been installed? | 05:34 |
| corinth | luckysmack, Yep, it was announced in May. Netflix is working on an html5 stream through Chrome, and it'll work in Chromium in Linux. | 05:34 |
| cpolis | nrails | 05:34 |
| endip | wols: What do you mean? | 05:34 |
| javier | I have tried before, and I get options to run demo or full install, which requires a reboot with the live cd, and I got hosed becuase my boot got got messed up and just got windows back using windows repair | 05:34 |
| endip | wols: Is there another way? | 05:34 |
| wols_ | endip: since you don't tell us about the problem in a meaningful way, no one can tell | 05:34 |
| luckysmack | corinth, oh ok. how will they secure it with html5 i wonder? i thought they said they would never support it since you can just download it. interesting | 05:34 |
| javier | i am still wondering why I can't get the wubi method to work | 05:35 |
| corinth | javier, Try downloading the Wubi tool from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer | 05:35 |
| javier | yeah, wubi isn't working for me either | 05:35 |
| corinth | luckysmack, probably the same way that Hulu secured its streams in html5. | 05:35 |
| corinth | I don't know how it's done, just that it can be done. | 05:35 |
| luckysmack | oh, i thought they used flash. i hadnt noticed. i dont actually use it much | 05:36 |
| javier | wubi gets me to this error (error line 46: cannot find sda/dev0) | 05:36 |
| pp7 | corinth: erm netflix works on ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| endip | wols: this is a known issue going back 4 years. Realtek RTL8111 NIC cards don't work. Everywhere online says to install the unix/linux drivers from RealTek, except there are several different ways to install it based on the veersion of the driver. I'm trying to follow some instructions I found online that look like they will work for me. | 05:36 |
| corinth | javier, Does it give you the option to Ignore/Continue? | 05:36 |
| corinth | pp7, Not yet, but soon. Netflix is working on streaming in html5 through Chrome. | 05:36 |
| javier | no. it says boot back into windows. run chkdsk /r and then continue | 05:36 |
| pp7 | ah nice | 05:37 |
| pp7 | i'll forget buying that roku box then :) | 05:37 |
| endip | wols: http://goo.gl/EvaOh here's a link to the instructions I'm following. | 05:37 |
| corinth | javier, Run Wubi from within Windows. | 05:37 |

| corinth | Sounds good, javier. Just go through the instructions, and you should be fine. | 05:39 |
| javier | we will see. This is my tenth time doing the same thing | 05:39 |
| endip | wols: Ok, do you have any other suggestions? | 05:40 |
| wols_ | endip: what is your actual hardware. there is no rtl8111 directly | 05:40 |

| oscalation | wols_, do i just start the installation from the new linux distro and create a new partion ? | 05:42 |
| wols_ | oscalation: you install by putting in a CD and boot from it most time. but it depends on the distro you install what to do. how is this all relevant to ubuntu? | 05:42 |

| mystiqueba | wols_, here's the error I'm getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/659758/ | 06:25 |
| wols_ | endip: both mean "couldn't get an IP frm dhcp server". you do have a router which hands out IP addresses, right? | 06:25 |
| wols_ | mystiqueba: there was more than that | 06:25 |

| haresh | hello how can i upgrade to the latest 11.04\ | 06:26 |
| javier | any ideas | 06:26 |
| Lasers | !upgrade | haresh | 06:26 |
| ubottu | haresh: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 06:26 |
| theadmin | haresh: Just saying, an upgrade is a very bad idea in Ubuntu. Best option is a reinstall. | 06:26 |
| theadmin | haresh: However, if you do wish to upgrade, read the instructions given. | 06:26 |

| gry | theadmin: Is this true for upgrade from any version, or just from a very old version to the latest one? | 06:27 |
| Lasers | javier: The best course to have Ubuntu and preserve Windows 100%? Get another hard drive. Install Ubuntu on that one. Keep things simple and separate (from each others). | 06:27 |
| wols_ | endip: "link up" in dmesg clearly shows it has a physical connection to the router. I dunno why avahi has a different interface tho | 06:27 |

| HackNewton | hi guys can anyone tell me where can i find BGI file for C program in ubuntu | 06:33 |
| micah | I did explain my problem | 06:33 |
| endip | wols: My wired network works. In fact, if I unplug the desktop I'm having trouble with, and plug the same cable into my laptop it works fine on my laptop. But I just put up this new box today, and as soon as I plugged in the cable I noticed it wouldn't connect and the gui indicators in ubuntu act like I don't have a wired connection at all. | 06:33 |
| Lasers | micah: Flash installed? | 06:33 |
| micah | says plash and java is enabled | 06:34 |
| micah | flash* | 06:34 |
| micah | It runs off java | 06:34 |
| wols_ | HackNewton: nowhere. BGI is for Borland compilers under DOS. doesn't exist for linux | 06:34 |
| HackNewton | oh any alternative ? | 06:35 |
| wols_ | endip: dhclient eth1 | 06:35 |
| wols_ | HackNewton: SDL. but for it to work you need to rewrite your C program | 06:35 |
| mystiqueba | wols_, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I had to manually install the "real" OpenOffice from their website. That's why I got rid of libreoffice. Btw, what exactly do I use for "<each libreoffice package>." I'm a total newbie | 06:35 |
| micah | libreoffice sucks | 06:36 |
| csdserver | haresh, do you have access to your router configuration from another device on the network? | 06:36 |
| endip | wols: k | 06:36 |
| micah | i switched back to 10.04 cause it has open office | 06:36 |
| wols_ | mystiqueba: now you see why installing stuff frm 3rd parties and PPAs is a bad idea | 06:36 |
| HackNewton | ok thanks wols_ | 06:36 |
| wols_ | mystiqueba: dpkg -l |grep libreoffice all of those packages. alternatively dpkg -l |grep openoffice all of them | 06:36 |
| mystiqueba | wols_, yeah. But Openoffice had always been the standard so I don't see why it's such a big deal | 06:36 |
| wols_ | micromatikal: libreoffice is the same as openoffice | 06:36 |
| wols_ | mystiqueba: cause their packages are broken. and openoffice is not the standard anymore. and I wouldn't want to run any software owned by oracle if I can help it. and with libreoffice I have a hoice. Unlike Virtualbox or Java | 06:37 |
| javier | ok. i am buring a livecd image. last time i did this i got a grub rescue prompt. what is the best way to install on a seperate (empty) drive for dual boot capability | 06:38 |
| endip | wols: sudo dhclient eth1 didn't return anything. Was it supposed to? | 06:38 |
| mystiqueba | wols, that makes sense. By the way, is there no easier way to do this? | 06:38 |
| wols_ | endip: if a command doesn't print anything, it means it has succeded. which is a good thing | 06:39 |
| endip | wols: k, good | 06:39 |
| wols_ | endip: same ff80 IP address? | 06:39 |
| wols_ | fe80 rather | 06:39 |
| endip | wols: eth1:avahi is gone now. | 06:40 |
| wols_ | endip: good riddance. avahi sucks. rarely if ever needed (it's zeroconf) | 06:40 |
| endip | wols, eth1 still gives me that inet6 addr: fe80:: ... etc. | 06:41 |
| wols_ | endip: so what IP does eth1 have | 06:41 |
| wols_ | hmm.. question is, why is it eth1 when you have no eth0 | 06:41 |
| javier | can anyone help me set up natty via the gui on a separate drive from windows | 06:41 |
| wols_ | javier: ubuntu will show you two disks when you install, install on the 2nd one. done | 06:41 |

| seclm193 | hey everyone | 06:43 |
| DKSAINI | how i can install koha server | 06:43 |
| wols_ | endip: if it is a new installatin, maybe do reinstall. check dmesg then for "link up" messages and hope it's eth0 this time. this could be the problem why nm doesn't use it | 06:43 |
| ekshibarov | Polah: I try and it' not work. Auth. failure | 06:44 |
| wols_ | udev only changes to eth1 if there is a eth0 already or if the MAC of the ethernet changed | 06:44 |
| endip | Ok. I'll do that. | 06:44 |
| Polah | ekshibarov: By blank I mean just hit enter without typing anything, don't actually put in "blank" | 06:44 |
| wols_ | endip: if it doesn't work, you know where to find us :) | 06:44 |
| wols_ | endip: but just install and hope it works, if it doesn't, don't do anything and come here directly. no blacklisting or such | 06:45 |
| ekshibarov | Polah: Yes, i'm not enter a password, but it's not work | 06:45 |
| javier | question: if my mobo is set up as ide, why do i see a raid in the installer in the erase option? | 06:45 |
| Polah | ekshibarov: Hmm, I don't know then. I thought the logon was ubuntu with no password. | 06:45 |

| wols_ | javier: you don't use RAID for your windows installation right? | 06:50 |
| javier | i installed in a raid configuration, using sata 0 and 1 | 06:50 |
| javier | i had windows in raid until today | 06:50 |
| javier | so i could split the drives for windows and ubuntu | 06:51 |
| wols_ | javier: that's why. have you reinstalled your windows to remove the RAID? | 06:51 |
| javier | yes. In the bios, i am ide, and in windows i two separate drives | 06:51 |
| wols_ | you should use "SATA" or "AHCI" normally. not IDE | 06:51 |
| javier | but I am at the gui from the live cd for natty | 06:51 |
| wols_ | and it's some artifact from your raid installation I'd say | 06:52 |
| ekshibarov | Polah: I am using all default settings in VirtualBox, only slightly increased the amount of RAM. Most likely this is a problem in VirtualBox, at later I'll try another virtual machine. Thank's | 06:52 |
| javier | how do i get rid of it so this can work | 06:52 |
| wols_ | which is a very likely reason why wubi hasn't worked either. you can't just remove the RAID under windows just like that | 06:52 |
| javier | great | 06:52 |
| wols_ | reinstall your windows I'd say. but for help with windows: ##windows | 06:52 |

| javier | when I installed windows, i didn't install any raid drivers | 06:53 |
| smokeycastle | Can someone please help: I recently installed ubuntu however I am having an issue where when I restart it does not load to the GUI, it gets stuck. can someone please advise me what steps I need to take to be able to troubleshoot this? | 06:54 |
| OmegaForte | javier, No, you just need to install the drivers for your kernel, or build the raid in the controller firmware during boot. | 06:54 |

| javier | omegaforte, i am or was trying to get out of raid | 06:55 |
| wols_ | mystiqueba: warnings are not errors | 06:56 |
| bkerensa | Ubuntu hates usb wifi adapters | 06:56 |
| OmegaForte | javier, Okay, you don't need to install a different operating system to configure your current one. Just go into the raid's firmware during boot and trash the array. | 06:56 |
| javier | sounds like i have to open the case, move sata connections out of a raid configuration, change the bios to ahci, and see what happens | 06:56 |
| OmegaForte | javier, No, I just told you what to do. | 06:56 |
| wols_ | javier: if you can get a /dev/sdb somewhere in the installer, you're good. if it continues to only show /dev/mapper you have a problem | 06:57 |
| mystiqueba | wols_, ok. should I use purge then 'cos I'm still getting the same error message when trying to install from Ubuntu Software Center | 06:57 |
| wols_ | javier: sata connections have no "raid configuration" | 06:57 |
| bkerensa | deem: What release of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:57 |
| deem | bkerensa: 11.04 | 06:57 |
| javier | so boot into bios, change from ide back to raid, get rid of the allocations (which will blow away windows), then go to ahci? | 06:57 |
| DKSAINI | how i can install koha server | 06:58 |
| javier | and my mobo docs state that sata 0 and 1 have to be used for raid | 06:58 |
| deem | bkerensa: i found an old thread from about 2005. it says chmodding /dev/console to 0644 solve the problem, but it doesn't | 06:58 |
| OmegaForte | javier, No, dammit. CTRL-I or CTRL-H, depending on the controller, DESTROY THE ARRAY, And leave it be. | 06:58 |
| bkerensa | deem: You could try System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | 06:58 |
| smokeycastle | Can someone please help: I recently installed ubuntu however I am having an issue where when I restart it does not load to the GUI, it gets stuck. can someone please advise me what steps I need to take to be able to troubleshoot this? | 06:58 |
| Polah | DKSAINI, two people already provided links to guides explaining how to do that. | 06:58 |
| wols_ | javier: but they aren't just for raid either. you can still use them with separate disks | 06:59 |
| deem | bkerensa: im not using gnome or unity | 06:59 |
| Polah | smokeycastle: Could you provide any error logs or suchlike | 06:59 |
| bkerensa | deem: Ok then in this case... sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 06:59 |
| javier | ok. will try now | 06:59 |
| deem | bkerensa: but. i chmoded it again and now it works. but is it a good idea to have /dev/console with 0644 permissions? | 06:59 |

| wols_ | deem: in an xterm? | 07:01 |
| deem | wols_: yes. xterm | 07:01 |
| bkerensa | deem: I guess it depends on who you ask :) some run root for everything which many frown upon | 07:01 |
| wols_ | deem: xterm doesn't use the keymap | 07:01 |

| === TheDreamer is now known as Youri | ||

| rww | chenthu: try libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk-3-0 | 08:08 |
| chenthu | rww: thank you.... | 08:08 |
| rww | (you'll probably have gtk2 or both, depending on Ubuntu version) | 08:08 |
| wols_ | chenthu: or dpkg -l |grep libgtk (or any other part of the package name you actually know for whatever you want to know) | 08:09 |
| Dexo | rww, it keeps everythig from laggng but i still get 1fps. but that could be my computer, 512mb ram ubuntu 10.04 celeron M | 08:09 |
| chenthu | rww: thanks it worked ...i have bboth | 08:10 |

Anyone know what might be causing this? | 08:15 |

| samy3 | hello guys | 08:15 |
| samy3 | i want to knw how can i install virtual box on my linux machine? | 08:16 |
| TBotNik | samy3: Installing the VBox is easy, but what are you installing under it? | 08:17 |
| samy3 | yeh botnik how can i install VBox on linux? | 08:17 |
| TBotNik | samy3: Using synaptic or cmd line? | 08:18 |
| chenthu | if i have both gtk version....what does it mean?....why is there two versions and if i am installing a theme pack which one should i install? | 08:18 |
| samy3 | hmm how to install via the cmd ? | 08:18 |
| TBotNik | Ah samy3 left was gonna give him HOWTO | 08:21 |
| TBotNik | Repeating: hey all quick Q: Trying to restore pkgs on machine with "dpkg --set-selections < "/home/ndavis/myfiles/Scripts/Package Installs/ins_packages_delta.txt" & dselect install" and getting error "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" and this just after a fresh reboot. Anyone know what might be causing this? | 08:21 |
| IdleOne | TBotNik: you using sudo? | 08:23 |
| IdleOne | TBotNik: also make sure you don't have Software center or Synaptic running when you run the command | 08:23 |
| chenthu | TBotNik: i think restarting would help... some times if an update or othe software installation is going on or if u are doenloading software to install then it would lock down the folders... so u better wait for it to get over or if there is nothing then just restart | 08:25 |
| Dexo | rage quit | 08:25 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: no need for a restart in this case | 08:25 |
| IdleOne | this is not windows | 08:25 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: caue that worked for me | 08:25 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: yeah, it works but is not necessary | 08:25 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: yeah this is not widows but that worked for me | 08:26 |
| samy3 | hi | 08:26 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: yeah not necessory but when someone has no clue what goes on its better to restart... thats in my opinion | 08:26 |
| samy3 | how can i install VBox via the terminal command? | 08:26 |
| neofutur | hi all, I need to update an old jaunty but i cant find a jaunty mirror | 08:27 |
| neofutur | is it still possible to find one ? | 08:27 |
| wols_ | !eol | neofutur | 08:27 |
| ubottu | neofutur: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 08:27 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: you have a right to your opinion. Still does not make it valid. in this case it is a simple case of killing whatever app is using the lock file (Software Center or Synaptic) | 08:27 |
| DASDAS | Hello | 08:27 |
| neofutur | ubottu: i cant upgrade, just need to update and install packages | 08:28 |
| ubottu | neofutur: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:28 |
| chenthu | !vbox | samy3 | 08:28 |
| ubottu | samy3: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 08:28 |
| wols_ | neofutur: you can't upgrade why? | 08:28 |
| neofutur | eol means no more mirrors provided online ? | 08:28 |
| IdleOne | correct | 08:28 |
| IdleOne | End Of Life | 08:29 |
| wols_ | neofutur: no mirrors, no support. nothing. | 08:29 |
| neofutur | uosiu: because everytime i tried to upgrade an ubuntu it ended all broken and needed to reinstall | 08:29 |
| oCean | the mirrors are moved to old-releases.ubuntu.com I thought? | 08:29 |
| neofutur | oCean: thanks ;) | 08:30 |
| IdleOne | oCean: for posterity but not maintained | 08:30 |
| IdleOne | no security or app updates | 08:30 |
| TBotNik | samy3: Your back here is your HOWTO on VBox: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualbox_ubuntu | 08:30 |
| oCean | IdleOne: sure, true. But neofutur is looking for a way to upgrade. The EOLupgrades wikipages describes how to use the old-releases.ubuntu.com | 08:31 |
| IdleOne | oCean: <neofutur> ubottu: i cant upgrade, just need to update and install packages | 08:31 |
| IdleOne | :) | 08:31 |
| oCean | oh. | 08:32 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: he is new to this its wrong to make fun... | 08:32 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: I am not making fun | 08:32 |
| rww | chenthu: oCean isn't new to this :P | 08:32 |
| samy3 | thanks botnik | 08:32 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: oCean is far from new | 08:32 |
| samy3 | <3 | 08:32 |
| rww | IdleOne's messages aren't new either, he steals them from me ;( | 08:33 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: i meant neofutur | 08:33 |
| IdleOne | chenthu: I wasn't making fun of him either | 08:33 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: no offence just siad it.... | 08:33 |
| neofutur | np thanks to answer anyway | 08:33 |
| chenthu | IdleOne: ok if not thats good... | 08:33 |
| neofutur | so there is just nothing i can put in the sources.list ? | 08:33 |
| wols_ | neofutur: why didn't you read the pointers you were given? | 08:33 |
| chenthu | neofutur: can u pastebin ur sources.list? | 08:34 |
| chenthu | if i have both gtk version....what does it mean?....why is there two versions and if i am installing a theme pack which one should i install? | 08:34 |
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| neofutur | chenthu: just all the jaunty sources that were working 2 years ago | 08:35 |
| IdleOne | neofutur: I recommend you upgrade but it is up to you. | 08:35 |
| wols_ | chenthu: different programs depend on different gtk versions | 08:35 |
| chenthu | neofutur: yeah but it would help if u pastebin.....and check what wols said ...read the pointers given to him | 08:36 |
| chenthu | wols_: if suppose i have to instal a theme pack which gtk version shoud i choose? | 08:36 |

| osmosis | So i install ubuntu and all goes well. Then as soon as im up and running, it says it wants to install system updates. I think it tried to install some EFI bootloader update...then my machine freezes, and is borked. Reinstall and repeat. Any suggestions? | 08:37 |
| TBotNik | samy3: Sorry can't personally help you. Just up here debugging a major restore problem and now running so computer will be busy for 4 hours and I got to run. If you have Qs about the HOWTO some of the other quys here will be able to help! Cheers! | 08:39 |

| IdleOne | LarsTorben: I assumed as much. Could you be more specific? | 08:41 |
| LarsTorben | Yes, I think to tell you a good explanation | 08:42 |
| samy3 | please help me | 08:43 |
| LarsTorben | Well, I think I asked the problem before. But no good help. | 08:43 |
| LarsTorben | !help | samy3 | 08:43 |
| ubottu | samy3: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 08:43 |
| LarsTorben | I am usinh WIndows 7 by now, because Ubuntu 11.04 did not work good for me. I have a problem with window maximzing. SInce 11.04 Ubuntu uses Compiz because Unity | 08:44 |
| IdleOne | !classic | LarsTorben | 08:45 |
| ubottu | LarsTorben: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 08:45 |
| stein-on | LarsTorben, try kde | 08:45 |
| LarsTorben | IdleOne: Yes, its possible. But it is not an alternative to 11.10 | 08:45 |
| chenthu | neofutur: sry i dint read the word jaunty... i thought u were asking abt natty.... jaunty's support is long gone... | 08:45 |
| chenthu | neofutur: but i am looking for the links... will try... | 08:45 |
| samy3 | how to install the VirtulBox with the help of terminal command? | 08:46 |
| LarsTorben | I will first try to explain the problem | 08:46 |
| rww | LarsTorben: In oneiric, you can use GNOME 3 in Shell or Fallback mode. But oneiric is offtopic for here, as you know ;) | 08:46 |
| IdleOne | LarsTorben: 11.10 is not released yet and not supported in this channel. if you want help with 11.04 this is the correct channel. I gave you an option to be able to run 11.04. | 08:46 |
| LarsTorben | OK, thanks. | 08:46 |
| LarsTorben | Well, my problem with Unity is, Unity uses 2 workspaces vertical, 2 desktops horizontal | 08:47 |
| oCean | LarsTorben: it is really not necessary to explain the problem. You have done so before. The bugs logged against this problem have not been solved | 08:47 |
| LarsTorben | And if there is a window a bit more on desktop2, it maximises there, but i want to stay on 1 | 08:47 |

| ionite | Blade20: it does not have the volume control selection | 10:35 |
| ionite | KM0201: can i select the volume control on my panel as audacious or VLC instead of gmusic browser? | 10:35 |

| === X3D is now known as X3D[AFK] | ||
| ionite | Blade20: so how do i reinstall the volume control bar? | 10:36 |
| ionite | Blade20: but i want to use audacious instead of the default gmusic browser | 10:36 |
| KM0201 | ionite: look in synaptic, and see if you have "indicator-sound" installed | 10:37 |
| X3D[AFK] | thanx sidewinder :) | 10:37 |
| KM0201 | ionite: which volume applet is in the panel, has nothing to do with what app you use as your default music player. | 10:37 |
| Blade20 | ionite, i use pulse audio for my volume control... so i am not sure | 10:37 |

| KM0201 | ionite: look in synaptic, and see if you have "indicator-sound" installed <-- AGAIN | 10:39 |
| KM0201 | Blade20: i suspect he installed indicator-sound.. which is the volume indicator on the indicator applet. | 10:39 |
| Blade20 | ionite, KM0201 knows more about this than i | 10:39 |
| ionite | KM0201: it shows that it's installed? | 10:39 |
| X3D[AFK] | and also, how much bandwidth would be used, if i had 10 people using the server | 10:39 |
| KM0201 | sorry, suspect he "removed".. indicator-sound | 10:39 |
| X3D[AFK] | but had a bandwidth splitter in place | 10:40 |
| KM0201 | ionite: right click your panel, add to panel, and choose "indicator applet" see if that brings your volume back. | 10:40 |
| Blade20 | KM0201, i think you may be right... i just drag my pulse audio icon to my menu bar and use it that way.... but then i set things up a bit different than most lol | 10:40 |

| karni | I have also tried re-burning the iso onto the USB, still same issue. | 10:49 |
| karni | I also can't find other 10.04 version than 10.04.3 | 10:49 |

| remi_ | Blade20, thank you for your answer | 10:52 |

| lotuspsychje | X3D: whats the purpose of 10 users gonna be? | 10:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | X3D, With respect, as you've been told it would all depend on what the useers were doing. | 10:55 |

| karni | ThePub: yup, I didn't get used to Unity yet, so I'm running plain old classic gnome desktop | 11:00 |
| KM0201 | karni: only thing that sucks, is when 11.10 hits. | 11:01 |
| KM0201 | that wont be an option | 11:01 |
| ThePub | Unity sucks arse, someday they'll realize it :) | 11:01 |
| X3D | well thenif it doesnt matter, neither does making silly statements.... | 11:01 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 11:01 |
| Blade20 | karni, over 90% of what i do is media on here... and with the move to windows 7 (fail!) i decided to come back to linux... :) so i love studio for the media | 11:01 |
| oCean | X3D: move on please | 11:01 |
| lotuspsychje | the unity thread comming up | 11:01 |
| X3D | why dont you define your life? | 11:01 |
| X3D | define this, define that......smh | 11:01 |
| karni | Blade20: ah! great to hear :) I now use Windows 7 like.. twice a year ;) | 11:02 |
| KM0201 | ThePub: even if they realize unity sucks.. Gnome 3, sucks just as bad.. my point? Embrace the horror.. you're gonna have to learn a new GUI>>> :) (i recommend LXDE) | 11:02 |
| makara | dnivra: thanks for the link. The problem for me is that all of these require ubuntu to be connected to the Internet in the first place to download the special program that will allow network access - in this case Samba. I don't understand how Ubuntu can ship without these seemingly critical applications. If I rely on a mobile broadband connection for instance and I can't get that working, then it means I have to connect to another computer, but now I always ha | 11:02 |
| makara | ve to have a special, which I can't get because I don't have Internet. Isn't this shortsighted of Canonical to not include these in the distro? What network apps are there I can use out of the box? Is there a list? | 11:02 |
| ThePub | KM0201: nah, KDE will be a better choice. | 11:02 |
| Blade20 | karni, i built this computer for windows 7 lol... 7 just is not stable enough for me | 11:03 |
| dnivra | makara: that link talks about both "networking" and "sharing". you need samba for "sharing". | 11:03 |
| KM0201 | ThePub: i'd rather have my eyes gouged out than use KDE... honestly, if my choice was unity, gnome 3, KDE... i'd use Windows... i hate those 3 that much (and i loved gnome 2.x) | 11:03 |
| karni | Blade20: :D | 11:03 |
| Blade20 | years ago... i used Ubuntu... had my computer on for over 6 months without a restart lol | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | ThePub: i would rather prefered if they kept the option open to install gnome classic or run unity(not as login choice) | 11:04 |
| oCean | Blade20: please stay on topic, welcome to take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:04 |
| makara | i'm with you KM0201. Gnome2 is fine the way it is. Messing around with the interface is messing around with people. Its why I left Windows | 11:05 |
| ThePub | KM0201: can you give me one truely honest reason why KDE4 is worse than Gnome? I dislike KDE myself, but really Gnome is doing the same thing but with less configuration options. Except now you're forced to use a "shell" for gnome. | 11:05 |
| oCean | ThePub: this is not a discussion channel | 11:05 |
| lotuspsychje | lets move the untiy topic to #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:05 |
| Blade20 | sorry ocean i kinda got all that started | 11:05 |
| KM0201 | ThePub: honestly, i hate gnome(again, 3.. not 2.x).. but myu biggest problem w/ KDE, is it's overall interface, and the fact it is SLOW. | 11:05 |
| oCean | lotuspsychje: thanks | 11:06 |
| karni | All right, let's see what unetbootin has to say. | 11:06 |
| lotuspsychje | Anyone knows if bugs get fixxed in ubuntu default updates? or is it kept seperated? | 11:06 |
| KM0201 | lotuspsychje: depends on the bug fix i guess | 11:08 |
| karni | lotuspsychje: If you've installed from sources, no. If you installed from UBuntu Software Center or PPA, yes. | 11:09 |
| astraljava | lotuspsychje: Bugs get fixed in all supported software. Security-related fixes are distributed in security-repo, others in -updates. | 11:09 |
| karni | lotuspsychje: Also, depends on what kind of updates you have 'checked' in Update Manager | 11:09 |
| lotuspsychje | even when a bug needs manual config? | 11:10 |
| X3D | my act is clean? | 11:10 |
| karni | Blade20: GirlyGirl: Sidewinder1: Hah! For the first time 'Startup Disk Creator' failed to do the job. unetbootin did the trick, sweet! | 11:10 |
| GirlyGirl | karni: Glad it worked out karni! | 11:11 |
| Blade20 | karni, glad it worked out ) | 11:11 |
| karni | Thanks guys :) | 11:11 |
| * karni partitions the disk | 11:12 | |
| Blade20 | karni, any time :) | 11:12 |
| GirlyGirl | karni: but I'm not a guy! | 11:12 |
| karni | Love this channel! I rarely hang out here, but I'm glad there are still helpful people here :) | 11:12 |
| karni | GirlyGirl: No! Can't be! Seriously ;)! <3 | 11:12 |
| Blade20 | lol would have guessed that from the name GirlyGirl :) | 11:12 |
| oCean | let's move on | 11:13 |
| karni | Blade20: ;) | 11:13 |
| karni | GirlyGirl: 'guys' term is a unisex thing :) | 11:13 |
| GirlyGirl | as oCean said lets move on its a heavy channel, we can always have #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | Would this bug fix itself in ubuntu updates? or does one need to wait until official fix before they pick it up in updates? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/713186 | 11:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 713186 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "theme resets to default grey theme on boot. have to logout and back to get my theme again (dup-of: 639913)" [Low,Incomplete] | 11:14 |

| Blade20 | lspci ... need the grep command ... for my video card info... | 11:14 |
| karni | Blade20:try $ lspci|grep -i -C 10 video | 11:15 |

| Linux4UnMe | blah | 11:17 |
| Blade20 | karni, what i'm looking for is temps on my video card... with the grep commands i should be able to put that into my conky... | 11:18 |

| karni | Blade20: What info do you want to extract exactly? | 11:20 |
| karni | Blade20: oh, temperatures? | 11:20 |
| auronandace | wishie: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart | 11:20 |
| Blade20 | karni, the main thing i would like to get is the temp... | 11:21 |
| karni | Blade20: All right, I don't think it's in lspci. lemme see.. | 11:21 |
| Blade20 | karni, i have all my temps other than the video | 11:21 |
| auronandace | karni: you thinking of lm_sensors? | 11:21 |
| mutante | Blade20: i think this could http://www.lm-sensors.org/ | 11:21 |
| karni | auronandace: exactly | 11:21 |
| wishie | auronandace: that worked. why didnt it work at boot time? | 11:22 |
| Blade20 | karni, lspci will show my radeon 5670 and i can get the temp with aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature | 11:22 |
| auronandace | wishie: not sure sorry | 11:22 |
| karni | Blade20: oh, you can? so.. what are we looking for exactly then :)? that's on another computer? (nvidia / ati ?) | 11:23 |
| auronandace | wishie: it used to happen to me on xubuntu (but went away after some updates) | 11:23 |
| karni | Blade20: Is your graphic card Nvidia or ATI? (If ATI, I believe you already have a solution?) | 11:24 |
| wishie | auronandace: yeah, this is a *fresh* ubuntu install | 11:24 |
| Blade20 | karni, it is ati... i can see my temps in terminal... but if i can find the grep command i can use that to write to conky | 11:24 |
| karni | Blade20: oh! paste that output of that command to paste.ubuntu.com , I'll help you. | 11:24 |
| milad_ | hi every body ,it's my first time in IRC and i don't have the slightest clue what's happening here , is there a main discussion topic here? can any body be so nice to explain it to me! | 11:24 |
| karni | milad_: Welcome to IRC! | 11:24 |
| karni | milad_: If you have questions, just ask. Somebody might be able to help. | 11:24 |
| milad_ | thank you | 11:25 |
| karni | milad_: Sometimes, if you talk longer, you can start a private conversation. Usually IRC has multiple channels, some of them are 'private' chats (you and somebody else). | 11:25 |
| milad_ | as i understand , there is no main topic , just questions and answer, am i right? | 11:25 |
| karni | milad_: If you have more questions, you can join #ubuntu-irc channel. | 11:25 |
| ThePub | does "Document Viewer" have a reading mode with both sides of the book next to each other? | 11:26 |
| Sidewinder1 | !topic | milad_ | 11:26 |
| ubottu | milad_: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 11:26 |
| ThePub | oh, lol.. "dual" | 11:26 |
| karni | milad_: There are many channels. This is general Ubuntu channel. If you have UBuntu related question, just ask politely and somebody might help :) | 11:26 |
| milad_ | thanks a lot | 11:26 |
| milad_ | i don't have any questions right now | 11:27 |

| ZenMaster | Hi. | 11:27 |
| ZenMaster | Anyone awake? :D | 11:28 |
| Blade20 | karni, are you teasing me? | 11:28 |
| karni | Blade20: Come on, I want some grep fun :) Gimme that command output :) | 11:28 |
| karni | Blade20: No, not really. I guess I'm trying to understand your question. | 11:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | milad_, First Welcome! If you have no ubuntu questions and just want to chat, please check out #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:28 |
| ZenMaster | Anyone have any expierence running Ubuntu 11.04 on a HP D530? | 11:28 |
| karni | Blade20: If the output of aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature is the temperature, what do you need to grep? | 11:28 |
| Sidewinder1 | Ooops, he's gone :-( | 11:28 |
| karni | Blade20: grep finds info. If you have the temperature, there's nothing to find. Does that command return the temperature? Sorry, I don't use conky, so I'm not sure why you need grep (which is a 'find' tool) | 11:29 |
| ZenMaster | Integrated intel graphics. No matter what I choose, Unity being the worst all my menus are all messed up. Briefly appearing and dis appearing as the mouse goes over the, | 11:29 |
| Blade20 | karni, in conky i can not use the aticonfig.... but if i can get the same info with grep i can use that in conky | 11:29 |
| ThePub | is there a good pdf viewer on Linux that will do annotation/highlighting? | 11:29 |
| karni | Blade20: do you need administrator privileges to run aticonfig? | 11:30 |
| Blade20 | karni, no | 11:30 |
| Blade20 | karni, the command i need to use in conky will look something like this ..... Cpu Temp ${alignr}${execi 5 sensors | grep "temp2" | cut -d "+" -f2 | cut -c1-2}C | 11:30 |
| karni | Blade20: Since aticonfig is just any command like grep, why can't you use aticonfig in conky :<? /me is completely lost | 11:30 |
| karni | Blade20: right | 11:30 |
| Blade20 | karni, well i guess if i could figure out the way to lay out the aticonfig command to get conky to read it right i could but i dont... i know the grep... | 11:31 |
| auronandace | !pdf | ThePub not sure what the features are of each but here are a few pdf readers: | 11:31 |
| ubottu | ThePub not sure what the features are of each but here are a few pdf readers:: The Portable Document Format is created by Adobe; PDF files are viewable in Ubuntu with Xpdf, Okular, Evince and also Adobe Reader (free download, but closed source) | 11:31 |
| karni | How about Cpu Temp ${alignr}${execi 5 <the ati command here>}C ? | 11:31 |
| karni | Blade20: I'm guessing that execi executres the following command every 5 seconds | 11:32 |
| Blade20 | karni, i'll give it a try :) | 11:32 |
| karni | Blade20: if so, replace sensors | grep "temp2" | cut -d "+" -f2 | cut -c1-2 with your ati command | 11:32 |
| ThePub | auronandace: readers are just that, readers. they don't offer any sort of annotation. | 11:32 |
| Blade20 | karni, yes | 11:32 |
| karni | Blade20: :) | 11:32 |
| Blade20 | karni, thank you | 11:32 |
| karni | Blade20: you're welcome. lemme know if it worked :) | 11:33 |
| ThePub | auronandace: ever use full acrobat on Windows or Mac that has annotation support? It's pretty nifty, lets you markup a PDF with notes, etc then print those off. | 11:33 |
| karni | ThePub: We definitely need such software on linux. (Even a paid option.) | 11:34 |
| auronandace | ThePub: sorry, never needed them and i can't stand adobe software (you could try using it in wine or a windows vm) | 11:34 |
| Creator25 | hi any one can help? | 11:36 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | Creator25 | 11:37 |
| ubottu | Creator25: 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. :-) | 11:37 |
| karni | lotuspsychje: ;D | 11:37 |

| * karni looks at conky documentation for Blade20 | 11:38 | |
| Blade20 | Creator25, are you running on a live cd or live usb? | 11:39 |
| astraljava | Creator25: You need to put it into /etc/fstab so that it's permanent | 11:39 |
| Blade20 | karni thank you :) | 11:39 |
| Creator25 | :) | 11:39 |
| Creator25 | thanks | 11:39 |
| Creator25 | but it doesnt let me cuz is android | 11:40 |
| bazhang | Creator25, what does that have to do with ubuntu | 11:40 |

| bazhang | Creator25, so why ask here | 11:41 |
| Creator25 | cuz you are the real supporters :) | 11:41 |

| Creator25 | :) | 11:43 |

| hoopjumping | Hi, how can I let banshee auto mount my other hard drive where my music and videos reside, so that when I click on a song, it'll load it up? | 11:45 |
| astraljava | Yeah it's cool that the people that do great work in here get recognition, but not every ubuntu-related question gets answered, even, so why introduce others that will further reduce the ratio? So please, stick to the topic. | 11:45 |
| Blade20 | karni, lol | 11:45 |
| astraljava | hoopjumping: Is that other drive auto-mounted by the system? | 11:45 |

| kiloblaster | hi everyone! | 11:52 |
| kiloblaster | is there someone that has a minute for me pls ? | 11:53 |
| wols_ | kiloblaster: ask your real question and skip the fluff in the future | 11:53 |
| kiloblaster | lol | 11:53 |
| kiloblaster | okok | 11:53 |
| kiloblaster | i got an asus 1015pn and i want to install ubuntu 11.04 on it without removing windows | 11:54 |
| jrib | kiloblaster: put ubuntu disk in, follow on-screen directions | 11:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | kiloblaster, This site should answer all of your questions: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php | 11:55 |
| vishwa | i installed natty on my pc and facing problem with suspend and hibernate. is there any solution for this ? | 11:57 |
| kiloblaster | if i install it in windows or using wubi it will go slower right? | 11:57 |
| irk3z | kiloblaster maybey :D | 11:58 |
| jrib | kiloblaster: I'd recommend installing ubuntu to its own partition (just boot the cd) | 11:58 |
| kiloblaster | will it give me the dual boot? | 11:58 |
| wols_ | kiloblaster: if you install it to a separate partition, yes it will | 11:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | kiloblaster, With all due respect to the developers, avoid WUBI, like the plague. :-) | 11:59 |
| jrib | kiloblaster: if you choose that option, sure | 11:59 |
| wols_ | it will with wubi too. | 11:59 |
| karni | wols_: heh.. good knews is that the broken resolution was a one time thing (first run after installation). Next two boots work fine. I really hope it was a one time thing, but I don't believe in miracles. Rather a bug. Anyhow, thanks for reaching out a helpful hand. | 11:59 |
| wols_ | but I agree with Sidewinder1, don't use wubi if you can avoid it | 11:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | wols_, :D | 11:59 |
| kiloblaster | ithink i will avoid that... so now i will 1. use gparted to give ubuntu some free space...2. install into that... and when i will boot i will have the option to chose winzozz or ubuntu right? | 12:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | vishwa, Did you partition a "swap" partition? | 12:01 |
| karni | kiloblaster: Right, it will give you choice. | 12:01 |
| astraljava | Sidewinder1: From what I hear, wubi's great if you want to see how ubuntu looks like, and works. It's not a long-term solution, that's true. | 12:01 |
| vishwa | Sidewinder1: yes | 12:01 |
| karni | kiloblaster: Keep in mind - if you install windows *after* you install ubuntu, it will not give you the option - Windows will overwrite grub, and you'd have to fix it then. | 12:01 |
| Sidewinder1 | kiloblaster, Make CERTAIN you defrag your NTFS partition prior to shrinking it! | 12:02 |
| kiloblaster | ok... imma trying it :) | 12:02 |
| karni | kiloblaster: You could resize it on Windows as well. | 12:02 |
| Sidewinder1 | astraljava, Totally agree. | 12:02 |
| karni | kiloblaster: defrag + resize on windows (for playing with windows partition) is IMHO the safest option. it will reboot, and resize it for you. you then have space for ubuntu installation. | 12:03 |
| vishwa | Sidewinder1: i have a swap partition | 12:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | kiloblaster, That's why I gave you the psychocats link; it explains everything in a "how-to" format; just about anything you wanna' know. | 12:04 |
| Stava | can i temporarily hide the gnome panel(s) and then get them back again after a while? | 12:04 |
| karni | Stava: Right click -> Properties -> Autohide? | 12:04 |
| kiloblaster | ok so i do it from windows... now i have to restart in windows back again...see ya all | 12:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | it? | 12:05 |
| karni | Stava: you could probably use a custom command with Compiz magic to hide them temporarily, but that's a little playing. | 12:05 |
| Stava | karni, alright, thanks | 12:05 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: shrink windows partition | 12:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | OIC | 12:05 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: OIC? | 12:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | Oh I See. | 12:06 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: OIC :D | 12:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | karni, Hope he defrags, first...:-( | 12:06 |
| terry | makara: Hello. | 12:07 |
| bernhard1 | when i boot the server cd 11.4 in rescue mode to be able to make an image with DD the prompt has only a few commands: i need to be able to see the harddrives first to see which to clone to which drive. | 12:07 |
| Blade20 | karni, you said that was a dual boot you are working on right? | 12:07 |
| Sidewinder1 | karni, If not, we'll be sending him to #windows... | 12:07 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: even if he doesn't, windows wouldn't break itself, no worries. I mean, if you shrink it using My Computer -> Manage -> Storage sth sth -> shrinnk partition, that's rather safe. | 12:07 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: no worries. it's safer than shrinking it with gparted. I've done partition magic many times in my life (and went through many failures as well), he'll be fine :) | 12:08 |
| karni | Blade20: which do you mean? I've installed 10.04.3 on the second laptop. I have 11.04 + win7 on this laptop. | 12:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | karni, Personally I wouldn't risk it (not defragging). | 12:08 |
| karni | Blade20: I work on Ubuntu 100% | 12:08 |
| karni | Sidewinder1: I wouldn't call risking it, but this is why I wrote defrag + resize on windows | 12:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | :-) | 12:09 |
| karni | :) | 12:09 |
| Blade20 | karni, just a heads up on win 7 sp1 is 900mb and will not install if you have linux dual boot | 12:09 |
| karni | Blade20: I don't know what to say.. I think it makes me laugh. Thank you :) (I use win7 for two things = college stuff and GTAIV maybe one a year, nothing else ;)) | 12:10 |
| karni | Blade20: That's really sad.. | 12:11 |
| terry | karni: I have resized MS Windows partitions with all those methods as well, never lost anything yet. (But I do defrag first, or at least check to see if a defrag has been done recently.) | 12:12 |
| Blade20 | karni, just thought i would give you a heads up... when you try to install the sp1 update it will tell you that an unrecognized partition is on the disk and you need to remove it before sp1 can install | 12:13 |
| karni | terry: I did really weird things in my life. I recall resizing Vista partition manually, because windows wouldn't let it. I used fdisk from live USB to get sectors count, drop the partition, shrink ntfs system, and set up the partition manually. That was pretty hardcore, I recall :) | 12:13 |
| * Sidewinder1 Is not surprised at all. | 12:14 | |
| karni | Blade20: Ehhh... :< | 12:14 |
| karni | Blade20: It just makes me sad in general, the windows-only policy etc. I simply won't update, but it's certainly an issue for people who dual boot on regular basis. | 12:14 |
| Blade20 | and that is why i run only linux in my box :) | 12:15 |
| karni | ;) | 12:15 |
| terry | karni: If you resize it with fdisk, I don't think you'll save any data. fdisk is not a non-destructive partitioning tool. | 12:15 |
| xgt001 | hey folks... i installed kubuntu-desktop on natty... everything runs fine but fonts look really ugly... any fix? | 12:15 |
| terry | karni: But if you have free space, fdisk is fine to use to create NEW partitions. | 12:15 |
| Blade20 | xgt001, update video drivers? | 12:15 |
| karni | terry: I didn't *resize* it ;) (It might have been something else, but it was a _low_ level terminal tool.). I droppped the partition boundaries manually from the partition table, resized ntfs (probably shrunk it after defrag to were the last data was), and set up the partition up again. It was the weirdest thing I ever did related to partitioning. | 12:16 |
| xgt001 | Blade20: yes its the latest | 12:16 |
| terry | karni: I usually use fdisk for partitioning. It's simpliest most straight forward partitioning tool - quick and easy. | 12:18 |
| Blade20 | xgt001, are you using unity or gnome clasic | 12:18 |
| petsounds | xgt001: have u try setting font hinting and dpi from system settings? | 12:18 |
| terry | karni: And use fdisk to read partition tables. i.e. sudo fdisk -l | 12:18 |
| xgt001 | petsounds: i dono how to config? | 12:19 |
| karni | terry: I use either fdisk or gparted. Right, same here :) | 12:19 |
| chenthu | how to add to sources.list using terminal? | 12:20 |
| gry | chenthu: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 12:20 |
| chenthu | gry: thank you | 12:21 |
| gry | Sure. | 12:21 |
| petsounds | xgt001: click kickoff menu, go to system settings, font and you can configure it from there. | 12:21 |
| industrial | With Ubuntu 11.04, How do I change Workspace Switcher settings? I want 9 workspaces and I want SUPER_L+1~9 to switch there (and with SHIFT for moving a window). | 12:21 |
| Sidewinder1 | !gksudo | 12:22 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 12:22 |
| terry | industrial: 9 workspaces? Why so many? | 12:22 |
| Sidewinder1 | gry, I wasn't sure if nano was graphical, never used it. :-) | 12:22 |
| industrial | Because I always have that. | 12:22 |
| industrial | terry: I always have media on 5, IRC on 8, social on 7 etc. | 12:23 |
| terry | industrial: I set it to 2, but rarely use the second one. | 12:23 |
| industrial | well I do | 12:23 |
| industrial | so how do I do it? | 12:23 |
| industrial | is the question | 12:23 |
| industrial | I also like SUPER_L + HJKL to move through them | 12:24 |
| terry | industrial: I use workspace 1 and tty6 and only once in a while worksapce 2 | 12:24 |
| xgt001 | petsounds: i remember changing somethings long back in .fonts or something like tat... any idea? | 12:24 |
| gry | Sidewinder1: No worries. I would have suggested gksu gedit but some things are faster "in terminal". :-) | 12:24 |
| makara | terry? | 12:24 |
| terry | makara: Hello? | 12:24 |
| industrial | terry: yeas so how do I increase the number of workspaces? | 12:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | gry, Understood :D | 12:24 |

| hoopjumping | astraljava: Sorry for the delay. In regards to the drive, no. It's not auto mounted. I don't want it to automount on startup, because I enjoy how this is a a silent system, and the hard drive does have a slight sound. | 12:25 |

| nankura | i dont get a prompt | 12:30 |

| dr_willis | Kiff__, yea it seems the best way to handle all these constant messages programs seem they must toss at us on a daily basis. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | Perhaps it will get added to gnome3 someday. | 13:04 |
| Kiff__ | bit hard to swipe a non touchscreen though | 13:04 |

| Kiff__ | i guess you can hover | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | hover would work even better. most of the time you just glance at the history of messages anyway. | 13:05 |

| coz_ | chenthu, after extracting that file,, take a look inside ,, if there is a .deb package it can be installed if not,, look for the README and INSTALL text files | 13:36 |
| Eduard | Hello everyone | 13:37 |
| edbian | Eduard: hi | 13:37 |
| tensorpudding | chenthu: there is probably a PPA for bitcoin | 13:37 |
| coz_ | Eduard, hey guy | 13:37 |
| fosburg_ | I installed 'DraftSight' and for some reason it works when app icons are shown and if it is a pulldown menu--app won't work | 13:37 |
| Eduard | Does anybody know how you can add new keys in gconf-editor? Mine doesn't seem to allow me it. | 13:37 |
| coz_ | fosburg_, do you have link so I can take a look at that ..where to download | 13:37 |
| ericthehax | so... Reinstalled linux-generic. And after a reboot everything should work again? | 13:38 |
| fosburg_ | cos--not sure of 'link' or how it works. there is alot about computers I don't know. | 13:39 |
| fosburg_ | I'm mostly an application user | 13:40 |
| coz_ | fosburg_, what I meant was,,, where did you get the package for it? | 13:40 |
| edbian | fosburg_: He means a link to the website where you got that program (he assumes for some reason it did not come from the ubuntu software center) | 13:40 |
| mr202 | hi all | 13:40 |
| Eduard | or, i can put my question the other way, how do u add programs to unity 2d launcher? | 13:40 |
| mr202 | I'm having difficulties installing 11.04 LTS 32-bit on my desktop | 13:41 |
| dr_willis | Eduard, lauch the app, then right click on the icon and it has a keep in launcher item.. normally | 13:41 |
| mr202 | is there anyone around who can help me? | 13:41 |
| uncle_f3dor | mr202, what difficulties? | 13:41 |
| mr202 | well, I can get it to boot the live-cd | 13:41 |
| edbian | mr202: What is the issue? | 13:41 |
| mr202 | I then choose the installation option | 13:42 |
| fosburg_ | It did not come from the 'Ubuntu soft ware center' but the center did the install | 13:42 |
| edbian | mr202: All on one line please. and get to the point :) | 13:42 |
| mr202 | and after I can choose to include third-party software and download updates | 13:42 |
| mr202 | it just seems to freeze | 13:42 |
| Eduard | dr_willis: omg! u saved my day! | 13:42 |
| mr202 | i click next, and nothing happens :( | 13:42 |
| dr_willis | Eduard, may be time to read up on a few unity user guides that are on the web. :) | 13:42 |
| edbian | mr202: I've heard about that before. Is this machine online when the ubuntu installer is running? (is this a liveCd or liveUSB?) | 13:42 |
| marriedman624 | I have Karmic installed on my computer with an AR5001 wireless card, I can connect to unsecured network just fine, but cannot connect to secured networks.........any know what I can do to fix this? | 13:42 |
| coz_ | fosburg_, right but where did you get it from,, | 13:43 |
| coz_ | fosburg_, if the software center installed it it means it was a .deb package but you have to have clicked to download that from somewhere...yes? | 13:43 |
| leighman | how can I set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH or ZLIB_CFLAGS and ZLIB_LIBS so it's found by a configure file on 10.04? | 13:44 |
| mr202 | so, I'm wondering what install option I might try to make it work... acpi=off / noapic / nolapic / ... | 13:44 |
| coz_ | fosburg_, open a terminal and type draftsight | 13:44 |
| fosburg_ | I need to quit for now--be back later, thank you for the help | 13:44 |
| mr202 | edbian, this machine is online | 13:45 |
| mr202 | I'm running the install now without the quiet-option | 13:45 |
| ericthehax | ... And sadly, that didn't work. | 13:45 |
| edbian | mr202: Can you take a screenshot of the installer in it's frozen state? and paste it on imageshack.us | 13:45 |
| edbian | mr202: ok | 13:45 |
| uncle_f3dor | mr202: my two cents: i would try not installling third party software at installation time and install then after the system is bootable. Install just the basic stuff. | 13:46 |
| mr202 | I think it's some hardware issue (although Win7 is working perfectly on the same box, but that doesn't mean anything) | 13:46 |
| coz_ | marriedman624, if no one here has a solution , at this time,, you can also try the ##linux channel ,,,who is here depends a great deal on timezones :) | 13:46 |
| mr202 | okay, so it's now creating debconf-communicate fifo mechanism | 13:46 |
| mr202 | after showing a lot of Buffer I/O errors | 13:46 |
| mr202 | :/ | 13:46 |
| marriedman624 | coz_: Thanks, didn't know about that channel, i'll try there | 13:46 |
| mr202 | device sr0, best to check out what device it is before going on with the installation | 13:47 |
| edbian | mr202: device sr0 is the CD | 13:47 |
| edbian | mr202: Many many i/o errors are very common on liveCDs | 13:47 |
| mr202 | but I checked the media using the menu option | 13:47 |
| samtuke | anyone know where bluetooth pairing data is store? not in hcid.conf, not in main.conf, not in gconf registry, so where?? | 13:47 |
| mr202 | and no problem there... | 13:47 |
| uncle_f3dor | marriedman624: by protected do you mean wep, or wpa? | 13:47 |
| mr202 | oh, by the way, had the same issue on a LiveUSB of the same .iso | 13:48 |
| mr202 | that's why I reverted back to CD's as installation media | 13:48 |
| edbian | mr202: the freeze or the i/o errors? | 13:48 |
| mr202 | the freeze | 13:49 |
| mr202 | so, I'm now finally in the graphical menu where I choose my preferred language | 13:49 |
| ericthehax | Guise, I'm scared... I just got this thing the way i wanted it and all I was trying to do was figure out why my mic was incurably quiet... Would a pastebin help any? http://pastebin.com/9FCjysPQ | 13:49 |
| edbian | mr202: I don't remember the installer well enough to follow. Is it now unfrozen? | 13:49 |
| ericthehax | *why my mic was incurably quiet, and then I broke my sound installing that | 13:50 |
| mr202 | well, edbian , it now asks for the third-party option or the download-option... | 13:50 |
| ericthehax | (I'm not even awake, failtyping. sorry...) | 13:50 |
| mr202 | so I left both unchecked and clicked 'forward' | 13:50 |
| mr202 | and this is usually where it freezes | 13:50 |
| edbian | mr202: Just finish the install without doing anyting extra | 13:50 |
| edbian | mr202: Does it freeze regardless of the check boxes? | 13:50 |
| sunzaru | Is there a way to remote control my ubuntu machine, via windows...not a shell? | 13:50 |
| edbian | sunzaru: remote desktop :) | 13:51 |
| mr202 | edbian, I'll now find out... I have tried all options except for checking NONE of the boxes | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | sunzaru, vnc is one way. | 13:51 |
| mr202 | that's what I did now | 13:51 |
| coz_ | ericthehax, according to that pastebin,, unless I am reading it incorrectly,, at the bottom on line 45 rm -rf alsa-driver-1.0.24 > /dev/null << means the also driver was removed so "no sound" | 13:51 |
| mr202 | but it seems like the usual thing is happening... rotating cursor, no more... | 13:51 |
| sunzaru | Kk tnx! | 13:51 |
| ubuntu | hello | 13:51 |
| krux | redownload the iso | 13:51 |
| edbian | mr202: haha ok :) | 13:51 |
| dr_willis | sunzaru, teamviewer, vnc, but ssh is worth learning to use. | 13:51 |
| edbian | mr202: does the rest of the liveCD work? | 13:52 |
| mr202 | i'll try to boot it without installing | 13:52 |
| mr202 | just running the liveCD | 13:52 |
| mr202 | one sec | 13:52 |
| sunzaru | Agreed. | 13:52 |
| max_ | hi, I'm missing the memtest option when booting from the ubuntu 11.04 x64 livecd. what has to be done to launch memtest - I can only access a grub console | 13:52 |
| ubuntu | guys give me some softwares like winsetupfromusb that work on my ubuntu plz | 13:52 |
| edbian | mr202: I mean right now. Is the whole thing frozen or just the installer | 13:52 |
| mr202 | well, i can still see the sound and the network dialogs | 13:53 |
| mr202 | and interact with them | 13:53 |
| mr202 | so it doesn't freeze | 13:53 |
| ericthehax | coz: I'm not awake, my brain's not working. Logic and reason tells me I should reinstall the alsa driver, but I'm not quite sure anymore | 13:53 |
| mr202 | the installer just keeps "working" on nothing | 13:53 |
| mr202 | :) | 13:53 |
| ericthehax | What do, bro? | 13:53 |
| ubuntu | guys give me some softwares like winsetupfromusb that work on my ubuntu plz | 13:53 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu, you could try using wine to run winsetupfromusb | 13:53 |
| ubuntu | wine is really bad joke in ubuntu | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu, You may have to do some googling for that, or ask in #windows for similer tools . | 13:54 |
| ubuntu | it doesn't work | 13:54 |
| medhunter | any experience with netbook Dell inspiron mini 1018 | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu, wine works well for me for the apps i need.. | 13:54 |
| mr202 | edbian, I'm booting into live now... see if everything works there... | 13:54 |
| spexi | wine works nicely for me too | 13:54 |
| mr202 | without installing | 13:54 |
| ericthehax | ubuntu: I dunno, I can play Touhou in wine just fine. | 13:54 |
| dr_willis | most of my popcap games work. :) | 13:54 |
| ericthehax | I know a lot of Mac users who can't >:3 | 13:55 |
| mr202 | meanwhile I'm downloading another ISO on my laptop | 13:55 |
| edbian | mr202: k | 13:55 |
| ubuntu | it keeps tell me that the file is not an uxecutable fil | 13:55 |
| mr202 | are there any reasons NOT to try and install the 64-bit version? | 13:55 |
| edbian | mr202: good idea, burn slow (or use liveUSB, I recommend liveUSB if possible) | 13:55 |
| edbian | mr202: 64bit is fine | 13:55 |
| dr_willis | ubuntu, so thats your logic for it being a joke? RUn it from the command line then.. wine /path/to/whatever.exe | 13:55 |
| mr202 | yeah, but edbian , how do I create the liveUSB from within Fedora ? | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | the 'file needs to be an executable' as a security measure is a bit of a joke.. | 13:56 |
| mr202 | this laptop is running Fedora | 13:56 |
| mr202 | ... | 13:56 |
| sunzaru | It would rock if steam was for ubuntu also. There use to be something like is. Anyone remember that? | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | mr202, the pendrivelinux site has a lot of tools for that task | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | sunzaru, steam does work in wine. and theres some GPL variant thats steam line i recall.. i forget its name.. | 13:56 |
| dr_willis | steam like... :) | 13:57 |
| edbian | mr202: there are many ways: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media | 13:57 |
| dr_willis | I must have it tagged at my delicious.com/dr_willis links somewhere... | 13:57 |
| ubuntu | ok guys an other questions | 13:57 |
| ericthehax | Oh yes. Steam for Linux? First I hear of this, GOOD-BYE WINDOWS FOREVER! | 13:57 |
| sunzaru | Mmm hahahaha | 13:57 |
| ubuntu | what's the better virtual machine for ubuntu ??? | 13:57 |
| ericthehax | inb4 virtualbox | 13:57 |
| edbian | mr202: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating%20a%20bootable%20Ubuntu%20USB%20flash%20drive | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | ericthehax, steam works in wine on linux. | 13:58 |
| ericthehax | Okay, trying another reboot. if this works, I would do anything in excitement. Even hug a creeper. | 13:58 |
| dr_willis | ericthehax, thats not to say that ALL the games work.. | 13:58 |
| ericthehax | dr_willis: I meant liek, if they started adding native linux support | 13:59 |
| samtuke | does dbus have persistent storage, like a db that it uses? if so, how do you access it? is this where bluetooth pairing data is stored? | 13:59 |
| makara | anyone know how to connect two ubuntu pcs with an ethernet cable? | 13:59 |
| dr_willis | ericthehax, theres supposed to be a native client 'in the works' but ive not seen it mentioned in ages | 13:59 |
| chrometiger | on 11.04 classic "no effects" how can I disable recent documents ? | 13:59 |
| edbian | makara: You can't unless you have a crossover cable or you use a switch | 13:59 |
| mr202 | I've installed unetbootin | 13:59 |
| dr_willis | makara, depends on the nics used. You may need a cross over cable. then plug them in. set up static ip's and ping each other.. done.. | 14:00 |
| ericthehax | Yeah, and they NEVER mentioned the mac client and then "oh look a mac client" | 14:00 |
| makara | ebdian: i have a crossover cable | 14:00 |
| kekse | @ubuntu: 1st, microsoft has a philosophy of not publishing their standards so it's pretty hard to code things like ntfs or an install-install-from-usb tool. 2nd why should anybody invest their time to create a tool that helps Microsoft rather than the open source community? doesn't make sense | 14:00 |
| mr202 | thought it was only a Windows-app | 14:00 |
| mr202 | :) | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | makara, if you have gb/1000 speed nic's then you dont need a crossoiver cable i belive. | 14:00 |
| mr202 | btw, edbian, the LiveCD seems to be working if I don't choose the install option | 14:00 |
| mr202 | have a working desktop now | 14:00 |
| dr_willis | makara, plug in, set static ip, or install a dhcp server on one. | 14:00 |
| edbian | makara: as dr_willis said, set static IPs ping each other (then probably scp is easiest to pass files) | 14:00 |
| kekse | @ubuntu write an apeal to microsoft, say you need such a tool for GNU/Linux | 14:00 |
| edbian | mr202: Great :/ | 14:00 |
| makara | dr_willis: i got as far as pinging. now i want to share the internet connection of the one with the other | 14:00 |
| makara | how do i install a dhcp server? | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | makara, then you need to do a bit more work.. ive not done 'ics' in years. | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | !ics | 14:01 |
| ubottu | 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 | 14:01 |
| ericthehax | brb rebooting and praying to Raptor Jesus that this works | 14:01 |
| edbian | mr202: I suggest just downloading the ISO again (check the md5 sum) and make a liveUSB instead of liveCD. If the problem persists I can suggest some more things | 14:01 |
| dr_willis | you as basically building your own router. :) | 14:01 |
| mr202 | I'll try that | 14:01 |

| chrometiger | on 11.04 classic "no effects" how can I disable recent documents ? | 14:02 |
| makara | dr_willis, edbian, doesn't ubuntu have something for this? | 14:02 |
| makara | in the network connections dialog there is a checkbox which says something about sharing internet connection | 14:02 |
| edbian | makara: Check that box :P | 14:02 |
| dr_willis | makara, Ive never used the feature. not needed to since i gave up Dialup. :) | 14:03 |
| dr_willis | makara, you may need to set the dns servers, and default gateway on the remote box to be the ip# of the main box. | 14:04 |
| mr202 | I just feel like such a noob | 14:04 |
| mr202 | although I have been using linux for over two years | 14:04 |
| mr202 | never encountered these issues | 14:04 |
| mr202 | :s | 14:04 |
| edbian | mr202: the installer is picky lately IMO | 14:05 |
| ericthehax | ;_; Okay, I give up on trying. What package do I reinstall? | 14:05 |
| jnsl_ | in my fstab im mounting my server with sshfs, but all files are mounted with permission "drwxrwxrwx" how can i keep files existing permissions ? | 14:06 |
| ericthehax | I have about an hour before I leave. Please help. What package do I reinstall? | 14:07 |
| dr_willis | For those interested in a 'steam like interface' for GPL/Linux type games theres this -> http://en.djl-linux.org/ I forget who was asking about it... its a bit out of date it seems. but it does have some neat games on it. | 14:07 |

| mr202 | I'm using unetbootin to build a liveUSB disk | 14:08 |

| mr202 | :( | 14:08 |
| mr202 | seems to be hanging on the casper/filesystem.squashfs | 14:09 |
| edbian | ionite: did you plug it in already? | 14:09 |
| edbian | mr202: give it some time | 14:09 |
| mr202 | oh, indeed... damn... progress bars that don't show progress, oh, the logic... | 14:10 |
| mr202 | okay, | 14:10 |
| mr202 | it's finished | 14:10 |
| dr_willis | makara_, years ago there was a 'ics' guide out that went into details. but what part of it are you needing explained? | 14:10 |
| edbian | mr202: :) great, boot that (you made a USB drive right?) | 14:10 |
| mr202 | I'll plug it in the dekstop's USB port | 14:10 |
| mr202 | yeah, I made a USB drive ;) | 14:10 |

| sniya | I've been trying to solve my wifi issues following this guide " https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43 - No Internet access " but I don't seem to have the PATCH that they mention on my install media. Where can I get it? | 14:12 |
| coz_ | sniya, what is the question? | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | makara_, by setting up ics you are basically doing just that... installing the services and tools a router normally would use... | 14:12 |
| dr_willis | makara_, you read up at --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing yet? | 14:13 |
| mr202 | edbian, | 14:13 |

| acidrain | GTAXL, its kinda like crop rotation | 14:14 |
| mr202 | i'm trying again as we speak... | 14:14 |
| makara_ | dr_willis: let me have a look at this document and then I'll get back if I'm still stuck. thank you | 14:14 |
| acidrain | keeps the files fresh | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | jnsl_, thats weird. as a dirty work around you could mount the sshfs from rc.local via a command that runs as the user. (su username -c command) *i think* but | 14:14 |
| edbian | mr202: k | 14:14 |
| GTAXL | ok | 14:14 |
| acidrain | lol. i was jk | 14:14 |
| Wojo | Hello there. | 14:14 |
| dr_willis | jnsl_, i cant think of why the fstab entry would be altering the permissions unles sits somehow getting ran as root. | 14:14 |
| coz_ | GTAXL, mm I have seen archive rotation ,, log rotation,, not sure about "file rotation" | 14:15 |
| dr_willis | makara_, let me just add that a $30 router is a handy tool to have. :) | 14:15 |
| GTAXL | ok. What would log rotation mean coz_? | 14:15 |
| Wojo | I would like to ask about one thing, I've noticed that on my old Toshiba L10-192 instalation disks of Ubuntu works untill 10.04 was arrived, the isolinux shows fine and then the instalator is loading and eventaully I got black screen, no response to any comnbination | 14:15 |

| jnsl_ | dr_willis ok, thanks, ill go through the fstab line one more time to see if theres something | 14:16 |
| ericthehax | Okay, now I'm real confused. I got the HD Audio driver from here http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ and it broke my sound. Basically, I shouldn't have done that and I've met with a terrible fate. If anyone knows how to undo this, please, PLEASE help. I'm completely lost. | 14:16 |
| GTAXL | ok | 14:16 |
| Wojo | If I remove splash and quiet from booting kernel line, there is no issues untill that "switch" to the black screen | 14:16 |
| edbian | Wojo: have you tried adding nomodeset | 14:16 |
| dr_willis | jnsl_, you may want to check the sshfs homepage/faq - there may be some option thats being overlooked. | 14:16 |
| Wojo | edbian: I will try, thanks | 14:16 |
| mr202 | edbian, got into the graphical installer again | 14:16 |
| edbian | sniya: patch? | 14:16 |
| mr202 | clicked "forward" without checking the 3rdparty or download options | 14:16 |

| edbian | sniya: not sure what you mean. What card do you have? I can probably get it working | 14:17 |
| sniya | This is the guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43 - No Internet access | 14:17 |
| edbian | sniya: a-ha no internet access huh :( | 14:18 |
| sniya | Yes. | 14:18 |

| squid22 | hello | 14:19 |
| mr202 | edbian, still nothing | 14:20 |
| edbian | mr202: frozen ? | 14:21 |
| sniya | Broadcom model number BCM4311 | 14:21 |
| mr202 | well, rotating cursor | 14:21 |
| edbian | sniya: You're following the correct guide | 14:21 |
| edbian | mr202: open gparted | 14:21 |
| mr202 | I can still check the top bar, network- and sound settings | 14:21 |
| mr202 | well, I have no terminal | 14:21 |
| ericthehax | http://pastebin.com/1Je1Gk2u Okay... | 14:21 |
| edbian | sniya: you have a /pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter ? | 14:21 |
| sniya | yes | 14:22 |
| edbian | mr202: open gparted | 14:22 |
| edbian | sniya: then run the command | 14:22 |
| edbian | sniya: BTW, this is MUCH easier if you can get the machine online via a wire for about 10 minutes | 14:22 |
| SoGood | is ther eany way on how to mod the BIOS of my AAO110? | 14:22 |
| mr202 | edbian: "Failed to run /user/sbin/gparted as user root" | 14:22 |
| ericthehax | I am sure that isn't gonna restore it... I gotta reinstall packages now, I'm guessing? | 14:22 |
| sniya | my ethernet won't work either anymore | 14:23 |
| Wojo | edbian: Unfortunately, the same thing happens with "nomodeset" | 14:23 |
| mr202 | "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" | 14:23 |
| edbian | mr202: run it via the gui | 14:23 |
| Wojo | I just got nice splash, it's loading and then it's all gone, black screen, no hope. | 14:23 |
| edbian | Wojo: then I'm not sure :( | 14:23 |
| mr202 | edbian, I did, just double-clicked it... | 14:23 |
| SubjectOne | hello | 14:23 |
| Wojo | edbian: Thakns for your effords. | 14:23 |
| edbian | Wojo: Sorry! :/ | 14:23 |
| edbian | mr202: sudo gparted in a term ? | 14:24 |
| sniya | The first two commands of step 3 work fine but I get "cannot open input file broadcom-w1..." for the third part | 14:24 |
| mr202 | I have no terminal access | 14:24 |
| mr202 | it's the installer environment | 14:24 |
| dr_willis | ericthehax, as a test. did you try booting to an older kenel if one exists? | 14:24 |
| mr202 | only system settings menu is available | 14:24 |
| mr202 | :/ | 14:24 |
| edbian | mr202: the liveCD is a full OS. What are you talking about? | 14:24 |
| SubjectOne | i'll be back | 14:24 |
| mr202 | oh, my bad... I chose the install-option again... one second | 14:25 |
| mr202 | restarting right now | 14:25 |
| ericthehax | Older kernel? I newly installed Ubuntu on here a few days ago after Windows broke. | 14:25 |
| mr202 | I'll choose the Live option | 14:25 |
| edbian | mr202: choose 'try ubuntu' you can install either way (it's a stupid choice) | 14:25 |
| Wojo | edbian: I meant it, no worries :-) | 14:26 |
| edbian | mr202: | 14:26 |
| Nikyo | Hello.. Is there a way to compile a .EXE file in Linux using gcc that will run in Windows 64 or 32 OS ? Either xp or 7 ? | 14:26 |
| edbian | Wojo: :) | 14:26 |
| Wojo | edbian: I will just try 11.04 or something | 14:26 |
| edbian | Nikyo: That's called cross compiling | 14:26 |
| Wojo | maybe alternative cd | 14:26 |
| edbian | Nikyo: It is possilbe yes | 14:26 |
| mr202 | okay, I'll boot it Live... | 14:26 |
| edbian | Wojo: ok :) | 14:26 |
| Wojo | there is no graphic gui there, am I right? | 14:26 |
| edbian | Wojo: in the alternate installer, that's right | 14:27 |
| Lennyg2006 | quit | 14:27 |
| sunzaru | Anyone using 11.4 out there? I tend to not upgrade asap. | 14:27 |
| edbian | sunzaru: I am | 14:27 |
| sniya | Alternatively, I might have better luck solving my Wifi problem if Ubuntu recognised my ethernet connection. Anywhere I can try for that? | 14:27 |
| Nikyo | edbian: Thanks, I guess I'll start searching on cross compiling then :) | 14:27 |
| wols_ | sniya: what ethernet chip? | 14:27 |
| edbian | sniya: If you plug the wire in do the lights come on? | 14:28 |
| edbian | Nikyo: sure, some package called ming or something lets you do it | 14:28 |
| sniya | One sec | 14:28 |
| edbian | sniya: ok | 14:28 |
| sniya | no lights | 14:29 |
| sunzaru | 3dbian: woth upgraging from 10.4? | 14:29 |
| edbian | sniya: Something is wrong physically | 14:29 |
| Nikyo | edbian: mingw32... I tried that.. did not seem to do that well.. I'll read up more on that one. Thanks.. have a great weekend :) | 14:29 |
| edbian | sunzaru: IDK, that's opinion | 14:29 |
| edbian | Nikyo: that's it! | 14:29 |
| sniya | ok | 14:29 |
| edbian | Nikyo: you too :) | 14:29 |
| Nikyo | ;) | 14:29 |
| sunzaru | ./nod | 14:29 |
| mr202 | okay, edbian | 14:29 |
| sniya | I'll go looking for a new lead - this one is quite old | 14:29 |
| mr202 | I'm in gparted now | 14:30 |
| edbian | sniya: what shows up in the output of sudo lspci | grep Network | 14:30 |
| edbian | mr202: | 14:30 |
| edbian | mr202: Do any of the partitions have any errors? red !'s or orange triangles or similar? | 14:30 |
| === Deamos is now known as Deamosseraph | ||
| mr202 | yup | 14:30 |
| mr202 | they do | 14:30 |
| edbian | mr202: I thought so. Are they NTFS partitions? | 14:30 |
| mr202 | well... one of them is | 14:30 |
| mr202 | the 500 GB one that I'm trying to install to | 14:30 |
| mr202 | it's a 420GB Win7 NTFS partition and a 80GB unallocated one | 14:31 |
| mr202 | that's what it shows in Win7 | 14:31 |
| mr202 | but here it shows 498GB unallocated :/ | 14:31 |
| edbian | mr202: Use windows to check all your partitions. Something is wrong with them and it is causing hte installer to crash | 14:31 |
| mr202 | okay | 14:31 |
| mr202 | gparted is stating the same thing | 14:31 |
| mr202 | "try making a fresh GPT table and using parted's rescue feature" | 14:32 |
| edbian | mr202: yay | 14:32 |
| sniya | <edbian> Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev01) | 14:32 |
| mr202 | you, my man, have solved the biggest question mark of the whole week... | 14:32 |
| edbian | mr202: I don't really know the details of fixing it other than making a new partition table (GPT) may delete everything | 14:32 |
| mr202 | now I know where to look... | 14:32 |
| mr202 | I'll try first from Win7 | 14:32 |
| mr202 | and make a backup ;) | 14:32 |
| mr202 | if I lose my windows, well so be it | 14:32 |
| mr202 | :D | 14:32 |
| edbian | sniya: Yeah I know that. Did you double click the package b43-fwcutter in /main/b/b43-fwcutter/ ? | 14:33 |
| edbian | mr202: :D | 14:33 |
| edbian | sniya: Don't worry about the patch. If there isn't one I believe we won't need it. | 14:33 |
| sniya | i moved it to home and then double clicked on it | 14:33 |
| edbian | sniya: did it install? | 14:33 |
| sniya | Yes | 14:34 |
| mr202 | uh oh, BOOTMGR is missing | 14:34 |
| mr202 | man, I love windoze ;) | 14:34 |

| coz_ | mr202, they are requireing ubuntu for this? | 14:36 |
| mr202 | they give us the choice | 14:36 |
| sniya | OK done | 14:36 |
| coz_ | interesting and pretty cool,,, | 14:36 |
| mr202 | windows or ubuntu, as long as you can get your projects done | 14:36 |
| coz_ | mr202, excellent news :) | 14:36 |
| edbian | sniya: step 3 | 14:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | mr202, Totally OT, I know but, is BOOTMGR in vista/7 the equivalent of ntldr in the previous? Prooves how long I've been off Win. :-) | 14:36 |
| Tech-1 | don't use windoze, i wouldnt give them the credit | 14:37 |
| edbian | sniya: what questions do you have? | 14:37 |
| mr202 | Sidewinder1, it is | 14:37 |

| sniya | Cannot open input file broadcom-w1-4.150.5/driver/w1_apsta_mimo.o | 14:39 |
| pfauly | so cld sb pls help me out with the new installation of the 32 bit kernel? | 14:39 |
| adam_ | hello | 14:40 |
| pfauly | right now im working with a live-usb stick | 14:40 |
| adam_ | do you speak polish ? ;/ | 14:40 |
| mr202 | well, edbian , in the good old days I would've used fdisk /fixmbr to resolve the issue | 14:40 |
| mr202 | but as this is Win7, no option to do that as well... | 14:40 |
| askreet | Can't seem to find KTechLab in any repos, but it's on Launchpad... anyone using this? | 14:40 |
| edbian | sniya: ummm, I'm not sure exactly what each command does but they depend on each other. Run them all again in order and watch more carefully for errors. They are in /home/you/ right? | 14:40 |
| edbian | mr202: :) | 14:41 |
| edbian | mr202: They took fixmbr out?! | 14:41 |
| mr202 | they took fdisk out | 14:41 |
| mr202 | :) | 14:41 |
| adam_ | i don't understand | 14:41 |
| sniya | Yes. OK. I'll do that and come back to you | 14:41 |
| edbian | mr202: ? | 14:41 |
| edbian | mr202: fdisk is still in ubuntu | 14:41 |
| mr202 | only way to do it is by using a boot from dvd and then running bootsect.exe in repair mode | 14:41 |
| mr202 | well yeah | 14:41 |
| mr202 | but not in Win7 | 14:41 |
| mr202 | :p | 14:42 |
| mr202 | I'll just go for the clean install | 14:42 |
| mr202 | let gparted fix the disk | 14:42 |
| mr202 | and problem solved :) | 14:42 |

| nankura | Hey guys, im looking to install gnome 3. and yes im aware its unstable and may break things, thats why im on my second hard drive to play with it. but im not sure which package to download, one is just called "gnome" which has alot of features etc. and is a 500MB download. the other is gnome3-session | 14:45 |

| mr202 | nankura, if you're doing this on a separate harddrive... | 14:48 |
| mr202 | why not use a distro that has Gnome3 onboard ? | 14:48 |
| nankura | yea im using my "safely destroy data hard drive" | 14:49 |
| nankura | to test stuff :D | 14:49 |

| nankura | which package did you install mr202? | 14:49 |
| mr202 | ow... well... then it might indeed be easier to install Gnome3 in Ubuntu, check www.gnome3.org for more info | 14:49 |
| mr202 | I did not | 14:49 |

| mr202 | I am using Fedora with Gnome 3, as I said before. I'm on here because Ubuntu is what I use on my main desktop (or at least, that's what I'm trying to use) | 14:50 |
| Deamosseraph | HelloWorld321, if I remember correctly..thats a problem of phpMyAdmin not being able to connect to MySQL | 14:51 |

| pfauly | any possibility to keep a the user profiles(/home and/or /usr) when downgrading from 11.04 64 bit to 32 bit? | 14:57 |
| coz_ | Guest36916, you would have to use wine to in stall them however not all windows games will work | 14:57 |
| pfauly | Guest36916: wine shd work | 14:57 |
| marym | ahh.. it's ati not nvidia | 14:58 |
| coz_ | Guest36916, after sudo apt-get install wine is completed you might also wnat to go to the #winehq channel ,, they can lead you to a link where reviews of windows games are listed according to how well they work via wine | 14:59 |

| shishirdwivedi20 | i have ubuntu 11.04 but today i installed window 7, after installation when i booted my PC then window automatically booted without showing ubuntu operating system ,when i checked properties of window it show only single i.e window 7 OS available in my PC how can i get my thats screen which show all operating system name through which i can boot any OS? | 15:20 |
| lion42 | shishirdwivedi20, did you by chance accidentally over-write the entire disc | 15:20 |
| auronandace | !grub | shishirdwivedi20 | 15:20 |
| ubottu | shishirdwivedi20: 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) | 15:20 |
| lion42 | and not just a partition for windows? | 15:20 |
| BlueWolf | coz_ , So your opinion is a clean install? Because my cousin has Ubuntu and he said he had problems with the upgrade. And he certainly knows more than me. | 15:20 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, almost always,, the reason being,, with a clean install,, if anything goes wrong,, at the least you know it is not because of the upgrade | 15:21 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, and issues with upgrades are painful to track down | 15:21 |
| shishirdwivedi20 | lion42 no ubuntu partition is safe i checked by using ubuntu cd | 15:21 |
| coz_ | sometimes | 15:22 |
| overrider_ | Hossa - where does grub2 store its splash screen? i chose one of the images in /usr/share/images/grub/ as my splashscreen, which works fine. Then i edited chosen image, saved it. Reboot - and grub still shows same old image, as if it is caching it somewhere. update-grub same result. Any clues? | 15:22 |
| jnsl_ | Is it possible to get a progress bar when using cp? like when you use scp ? | 15:22 |
| auronandace | shishirdwivedi20: Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 15:22 |
| lion42 | shishirdwivedi20, then follow auronandace's recommendations to restore grub | 15:22 |
| lion42 | Or that. :P | 15:22 |
| shishirdwivedi20 | lion45 ok | 15:22 |
| BlueWolf | coz_ , Ok, Then I will do a clean Install. What Ubuntu do you have? | 15:23 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, at the moment 11.04 | 15:23 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, just be sure you have backed up any important files,, | 15:24 |
| BlueWolf | coz_ , Yes will do, I have wiped out a hard disk before, Learnt my lesson.:D | 15:25 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, cool :) | 15:25 |
| BlueWolf | coz_ , Are you using Firefox to browse the Internet? If you are dose it slow your machine down? | 15:26 |
| XLV | shishirdwivedi20, easy way through windows.. install easybcd, add a grub2 entry to windows bootloader ( bcd ) for linux | 15:26 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, I am and no it doesnt,, something on your end most likely | 15:26 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, do the clean install ,, if you like you can use the mini cd which is a net in stall | 15:27 |
| coz_ | !mini | BlueWolf | 15:27 |
| ubottu | BlueWolf: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:27 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, the only thing to keep in mind with the mini is at some point a list of what to install will appear,,, arrows to scroll the list and the Space bar to tick a box NOT enter | 15:28 |

| _ListerWork | hi, how can i install apxs? | 15:32 |
| maahes | auronandace~> utorrent is not free software, nor is it linux software: try transmission, rtorrent, ctorrent, deluge, bittornado or running utorrent in wine. Deluge is very similar to utorrent | 15:33 |
| auronandace | BluesKaj: i like using transmission (better to recommend native apps) | 15:33 |

| BlueWolf | coz_, Well when I did the Ubuntu 10.10 clean install this problem followed, my machine slowed down every now and then ( When it felt like it ) It took about a minute to move to the next desktop the one time, It can't be my machine. I have tryed checking the Processor and Memory usage and I can't find out what is doing it. The problem seems to be with all the Ubuntu's I have had, I'm not entirely sure if there is something wrong with the way I am running Ubunt | 15:34 |
| BlueWolf | or something I'm not doing. Any ideas or suggestions? | 15:34 |
| maahes | my personal favorite is rtorrent | 15:34 |
| coz_ | BlueWolf, well use the mini cd for installation and see what happens | 15:35 |

| coz_ | minaaa, I dont have experience with that in particular,, also understand that people who may have knowledge about it may not be online at this time,, all depends on timezones | 15:46 |
| Zeik | minaaa: Right click on the usb_modeswitch file and go into it's properties. Checkmark it to be an executable program. Close that window and then double click on it. | 15:46 |
| Sidewinder1 | Zeik, You might have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades#Why%20choosing%20a%20fresh%20install | 15:46 |
| ksx4system | minaaa: i remember that on Debian usb_modeswitch was NOT needed on newer (afair 2.6.32+) kernels | 15:46 |
| ksx4system | minaa: so, what kernel do you run? (uname -a to check) which version of Ubuntu (number please)? | 15:47 |
| minaaa | zeik: i used chmod +x on it but it asks me for product id or device id for the 3g modem to be entered as parameter which i do not know | 15:47 |
| Sidewinder1 | Zeik, ^ My last was in regards to your Intrepid question. ^ | 15:47 |
| minaaa | ksx4system: i am using ubuntu 10.10 | 15:47 |
| Cozey | oCean: so jde must me updated and have deps fixed? or can i force it to install | 15:47 |
| Zeik | Sidewinder: Thank you. But i am actually wanting Intrepid due to it being able to use EXA. I can't stand using this UXA accelleration method. | 15:48 |
| Zeik | minaaa: Hmm. What kind of 3G device are you using? Is it CricKet EVO 3G? | 15:48 |
| minaaa | when i insert the 3g modem it shows up as cd drive on windows but it doesnt get detected as a cd drive either in ubuntu | 15:49 |
| rickard | Hi, how do I "drag" windows to another worksspace? | 15:49 |
| ksx4system | minaaa: afaics you run 2.6.35 kernel. most popular in Europe 3G modems should run perfectly even with bare bones wvdial | 15:49 |
| minaaa | zeik: it is a hsdpa modem named visiontek | 15:49 |
| Myrtti | minaaa: should it? | 15:49 |

| coz_ | rickard, is it running? | 15:49 |
| coz_ | rickard, this is 11.04 | 15:50 |
| minaaa | let me give u all a picture of the 3g modem | 15:50 |
| Zeik | minaaa: That is called "Zero CD". It runs one time in windows to install it's drivers and then hides it's self afterwards. | 15:50 |
| rickard | coz_: correct | 15:50 |
| coz_ | rickard, and are you using the Unity interface or classic mode? | 15:50 |
| ksx4system | minaaa: cool, i can't even check what chipset it has... manufacturer's website is down | 15:50 |
| rickard | coz_: I believe I use the unity.. how do i determine? | 15:50 |
| Zeik | minaaa: Those drivers are useless for a Linux installation. Let me look up how to run a flipswitch. I haven't done it in over 3 years. So i am lacking on memory at this point. | 15:51 |
| minaaa | its named visiontek | 15:51 |
| coz_ | rickard, Unity will have the large launcher on the left side of the screen | 15:51 |
| oCean | Cozey: I think it means that, once emacs23 is installed, the dependency for cedet is already solved. That means you would have to force an install without checking for dependencies - but I'm not sure how to do that and whether you will have all dependencies solved | 15:51 |
| minaaa | the modem has a picture here http://images02.olx.in/ui/10/93/38/1293439681_151038538_1-Visiontek-3G-Modem-new-ones-for-sale-with-1Year-warranty-Vizianagaram.jpg | 15:51 |

| minaaa | tried usb_modeswitch with several params but it isnt a sierra or huawei. the modeswitch software is probably made for those modems | 15:52 |
| coz_ | rickard, well on that launcher is the expo button which will show all workspaces,, you can drag that way ,, also I believe if you have a focused window,, shift+ctrl+alt+arrows should also move it to another workspace | 15:52 |
| coz_ | rickard, let me know if either of them work for you | 15:52 |
| minaaa | ksx4system: their crappy website is here http://www.visiontek.co.in/3g-2g-wireless-products/82gh.html | 15:53 |

| coz_ | rickard, hit alt+F2 type ccsm | 15:54 |
| Zeik | minaaa: Plug it in and reboot your system. When it is back up. Check out your internet connection icon at the top of the screen. There should be an extra connection in it called "Mobile Device". Click on that to connect. | 15:54 |

| Benkinooby | rickard, that does not depend on natty (=ubuntu version) but in your graphical user interface, wich is in your case, unity, i guess. either way, nearly all interface that support multiple workspaces, support far more than 4 workspaces | 16:12 |

| zteam_ | byt playonlinux always reset that changes | 16:38 |
| Neo31 | I had to edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n on fedora, what is the equivalent on ubuntu? | 16:39 |
| dbsantos | hello, I want a bootable pendrive that runs on a linux filesystem (not NTFS, FAT or FAT32)... somebody knows how to do it? I want to boot HIREN's on it | 16:39 |
| bernhard1 | How to fix this ? happend after cloning a disk with DD. | 16:39 |
| bernhard1 | mountall: fsck /boot [344] terminated with status 1 | 16:39 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, why would u not want FAT on that thing? | 16:40 |
| Neo31 | dbsantos look for a package like liveusb-creator | 16:40 |
| F-B-T | 141 million per millilitre | 16:40 |
| Neo31 | or somethign like that | 16:40 |
| punter | How do I add a menu item on an icon in the launcher I created, when I right-click on it? | 16:41 |
| dbsantos | I want be free of virus, because I will use this pendrive in my job... do you know? | 16:41 |
| dbsantos | every tutorials that I saw, talk about FAT, NTFS, FAT32... | 16:42 |
| dbsantos | I will use it to fix problems, and I want to be sure that the pendrive "is clean" | 16:43 |
| bernhard1 | How to fix this ? happend after cloning a disk with DD. | 16:44 |
| bernhard1 | while booting: mountall: fsck /boot [344] terminated with status 1 | 16:44 |
| bernhard1 | Could not write bytes: broken pipe | 16:44 |
| bernhard1 | After that i get the login prompt. | 16:44 |
| FloodBot1 | bernhard1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:44 |
| k3v1n | dbsantos, AVG has a good liveCD that can be installed onto a pendrive. I use it for virus removal. It's linux based. | 16:44 |
| escott | dbsantos, it may depend on the bios. to make it bootable with certain bioses you may need to have fat or eltorrito. | 16:44 |
| escott | bernhard1, have you tried running fsck manually | 16:44 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, if your job uses Windows you won't be to ready a usb stick with anything else than FAT or NTFS (unless you are installing some third-party driver) | 16:44 |
| ciezr | dbsantos: a neat trick, create a folder named "autorun.inf" on the fat32 pendrive | 16:45 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, and if you are booting from that live-usb it can't get a virus anyway... | 16:45 |
| The_Pugilist | using ubuntu 11.04 can i encrypt a users home directory after the account has been created or does it have to be done when the user is created? | 16:46 |
| lion42 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1404662 | 16:46 |
| The_Pugilist | ty lion42 | 16:47 |
| lion42 | If you just installed, though, I would recommend reinstalling and doing a proper encrypted disk setup. Faster/easier. | 16:47 |
| dbsantos | so... what's the better filesystem to put on pendrive? FAT, FAT32 or NTFS? | 16:47 |
| Abhijit | i think youtube have changed something. youtube-dl and minitube are not working to download videos. help please. how to download? | 16:48 |
| dbsantos | to use as bootable tool | 16:48 |
| lion42 | Abhijit, not an ubuntu issue. | 16:48 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, well you could just that make it so any changes you made on the stick will be resetted once you reboot | 16:48 |
| The_Pugilist | well the thing is lion42, i am setting up an ftp server where each users' home directory needs to be encrypted | 16:49 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, that way any virus you will get can't survive once you restarted it | 16:49 |
| Abhijit | lion42, ok. | 16:49 |
| lion42 | The_Pugilist, sorry, no idea about that. | 16:49 |
| The_Pugilist | no worries | 16:49 |
| dr_willis | The_Pugilist: you are worried about security enough to encrypt the dirs.. but using ftp? wouldent ssh be a better idea from a security point of view? | 16:49 |
| OmegaForte | Mornin'. Any standing issues? | 16:49 |
| Deamosseraph | yeah..SSH would be better if security was a problem | 16:49 |
| dbsantos | ok... about the health of filesystem on a pendrive, what's the better (FAT, FAT32 or NTFS)? | 16:50 |
| Deamosseraph | and for the encryption, I would have done it at install TBH | 16:50 |
| The_Pugilist | well yes, dr_willis, but i am looking to implement a remote backup service, and this requires me to use ftp/sftp | 16:50 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, but there possible are ways to format with another filesystem too, but I'm not sure if you will be able too boot from a stick with ext2 for example | 16:50 |
| Deamosseraph | FAT32 is normal on a pendrive | 16:50 |
| Abhijit | Deamosseraph, ntfs or fat32 | 16:50 |
| Abhijit | Deamosseraph, not for health but for compatibility | 16:50 |
| Deamosseraph | Use SFTP, Puglist | 16:50 |
| zteam_ | dbsantos, FAT32 is what I recommend | 16:50 |
| dr_willis | sftp is ssh isent it... | 16:50 |
| faint545 | how do u check the version of a package by using "apt-cache search" ? | 16:51 |
| dbsantos | thankyou everybody | 16:51 |
| Abhijit | aaah | 16:51 |
| dr_willis | dbsantos: its more of a matter of whats being done to the filesystems.. how many writes mainly.. then the actual fs used. | 16:51 |
| Abhijit | Deamosseraph, wrong person | 16:51 |
| Abhijit | dbsantos, those msgs were for you | 16:51 |
| Deamosseraph | I dont only know the ins and outs of FAT/FAT32 | 16:51 |
| Deamosseraph | err..I know only even | 16:51 |
| Deamosseraph | Damn forensics class made us tear apart FAT32 :P | 16:52 |
| dbsantos | I will make a new pendrive now... thanks a lot | 16:52 |

| th0r | kevin_: I think the commas might be causing a problem | 16:57 |
| dr_willis | either somthing got pasted wrong or you got ` and ' characters being used as quotes... | 16:57 |

| dr_willis | Hmm. funny characters in the names.. diamonds and numbers. | 17:00 |
| tensorpudding | kevin_: it looks like you have a filename encoding issue | 17:00 |
| dr_willis | it may be a good idea to rename those files and get rid of those exttra characters. I never use languages with those sortof characters. | 17:00 |
| tensorpudding | you should rename the file with unicode | 17:00 |
| kevin_ | this error was shown by the terminal when i tired copying the entire directory | 17:01 |
| dr_willis | !info unicode | 17:01 |
| ubottu | unicode (source: unicode): display unicode character properties. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.5 (natty), package size 14 kB, installed size 96 kB | 17:01 |
| tensorpudding | unicode isn't a program, it's a mapping of characters | 17:02 |
| tensorpudding | i meant utf-8, which is a character encoding for unicode | 17:02 |
| rumpe1 | kevin_, if it's ntfs/fat maybe try a mount-option for the correct encoding | 17:02 |
| saulotoledo | Hello! I can't add/share printers um my lan with Cups. At Linux clients I can deetect the printer, but when trying print I receive "Can't connect to printer, trying again in 30 sec..." | 17:02 |
| tensorpudding | utf-8 is the default character encoding | 17:02 |
| rumpe1 | mount | 17:04 |
| kevin_ | why mount-option? | 17:04 |
| FroyoShark | #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:06 |
| FroyoShark | oops | 17:06 |
| escott | kevin_, if its ntfs or fat and using something other than utf-8 then you need to verify that the kernel knows to translate the encoding in that fs into utf-8 | 17:06 |
| rumpe1 | kevin_, try mounting with "nls=utf8" option | 17:06 |
| kevin_ | but my partitions are premounted | 17:07 |
| rumpe1 | kevin_, what's "premounted"? | 17:07 |
| kevin_ | i mean auto mounted during the start up | 17:08 |
| kevin_ | i do not want to mess up again with the fstab file | 17:08 |

| chamunks | I am trying to RSYNC a massive directory 450 gigs of tens of thousands of files I want to make this go as smoothly as possible is there a way to log the process for resuming incase of failure and such? | 17:12 |
| chamunks | Or even a way to make rsync break up the job for me into smaller parts. | 17:12 |
| escott | chamunks, thats the point of rsync is that it is easy to resume, just keep running it until it says its done | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | 450gb is massive? :) thats my wallpaper collection... | 17:12 |
| Dulak | chamunks: rsync will automatically resume | 17:12 |
| dr_willis | rsync is sort of amazin in how usefull and thought out it is. | 17:13 |
| Dulak | chamunks: it uses a pretty nifty comparison algo to only transfer the differences, so it doesn't have to restart from scratch | 17:13 |
| OmegaForte | chamunks, I think rsync has super powers. | 17:13 |
| chamunks | escott, Dulak, even after a system reboot or something? where is it logging this information to? can i force it to log everything to a file somewhere other than the source / dest? | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | You could look into fsarchiver if you are more into making an 'archival' backup. vs a 'clone' | 17:13 |
| rumpe1 | kevin_, the default for mount is to not convert the filename-encodings. That's the problem i guess. | 17:13 |
| escott | chamunks, you could send its output to a file, but there is no point. rsync is designed to handle resumes. it will compare the contents of the remote and local copies and send the differences | 17:14 |
| Dulak | chamunks: it doesn't log anything, it compares things on both sides of the connection and only transfers what is different, so it can resume anytime, anywhere. | 17:14 |
| stowoda | hi | 17:15 |
| stowoda | how to find out wether my linux is 64 or 32 bit? | 17:15 |
| stowoda | if | 17:15 |
| stowoda | ? | 17:15 |
| tensorpudding | stowoda: open System Monitor, look at the information tab | 17:15 |
| stowoda | ok thx | 17:15 |
| chamunks | escott, I cant recall how to pipe the output for some reason. I figure run it all inside of a screen session with fancy output something like this "ionice -c3 rsync -v --progress --human-readable --compress-level=2 -r -c -t -m" | 17:16 |
| tensorpudding | stowoda: wait, that doesn't show it anymore, hmm | 17:16 |
| rumpe1 | kevin_, try "sudo umount <partition> && sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=007 /dev/sdX /mnt/... " and try again | 17:16 |
| stowoda | yeah, I see | 17:16 |
| escott | stowoda, uname -i. to see if your processor is capable cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags and look for "lm" | 17:16 |
| stowoda | it is capable escott | 17:16 |
| chamunks | escott, being my command so far. I would like a record of the xfers details just because I'm the kind of guy who downloads full 100% flac files with rip logs hehe. | 17:17 |
| stowoda | lm is set | 17:17 |
| stowoda | escott | 17:17 |
| escott | chamunks, command 1&>logfile.txt | 17:18 |
| chamunks | escott, will that just dump everything to the log without also outputting to the command line? | 17:18 |
| chamunks | escott, or will the &sign do both | 17:18 |
| kevin_ | rumpe1 again the problem comes | 17:19 |
| stowoda | Linux luk 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 17:19 |
| escott | chamunks, sorry should be &> logfile.txt. that will send both stdout and stderr to the log file | 17:19 |
| kevin_ | even if it is get copied to the source dirctory will the music players play them | 17:20 |
| escott | kevin_, bad unicode encoding on the filenames will cause all sorts of problems for you | 17:20 |
| stowoda | i686 seems to bee 32bit | 17:20 |
| stowoda | or? | 17:20 |
| escott | stowoda, i686 is 32bit | 17:21 |
| stowoda | :( | 17:21 |
| stowoda | ok thx | 17:21 |
| kevin_ | escott. then how to rectify the bad ubicode | 17:21 |
| chamunks | escott, good to know. but will it still output to the command line as well? this xfer is going to take days so i wont be watching it. | 17:21 |
| escott | kevin_, if you can figure out what encoding the ntfs system has you can try different versions of the mount command until it works | 17:22 |
| chamunks | escott, but i will be checking up on it occasionally to make sure it hasn't broken. | 17:22 |
| escott | chamunks, if you want to see it at the same time you probably need to use tee | 17:22 |
| escott | kevin_, i don't know much about ntfs but it might require the specification of a codepage | 17:24 |
| kevin_ | what is the codepackage name ? | 17:25 |
| escott | kevin_, that may depend on where you live | 17:25 |
| chamunks | escott, hmm well that changes the game again lol. | 17:26 |
| kevin_ | don't joke please | 17:26 |
| wols_ | stowoda: why do you want a 64bit install? | 17:26 |
| chamunks | escott, sorry for requesting the spoonfeeding I can see you're already engaged in other conv's | 17:26 |
| escott | kevin_, im serious. if you are in the US its likely your windows system would use a latin codepage. but if you were in europe you could be using a codepage specific to your native language | 17:27 |
| kevin_ | i am in india and my system langauge in US english | 17:27 |
| escott | chamunks, see man tee. should be something like rsync &| tee logfile.txt | 17:28 |
| escott | chamunks, rather 2&>1 | tee logfile.txt | 17:29 |
| stowoda | aehm. do a cpu have a fpu? I mean in a personal computer.. | 17:31 |
| stowoda | or are floating point operations emulated in software | 17:31 |
| escott | stowoda, yes ever since the 486dx | 17:31 |
| stowoda | :) ok | 17:31 |
| stowoda | thx | 17:31 |

| Pisagor | Hello | 17:54 |
| Pisagor | when i try to open some link in folder (for instance, when i click on browse c: drive on wine menu) it doesn't really open it in a file browser like pcman or nautilus. It does open it in web browser. | 17:55 |
| dr_willis | Pisagor: i noticed that also on one of my machines.. never did find a fix.. never really tried to fix it.. | 17:56 |
| dr_willis | Pisagor: is it opening in google-chrome or chromium? | 17:56 |
| Pisagor | it does open it in its own web browser | 17:56 |
| Pisagor | the default one coming with lubuntu | 17:56 |
| Pisagor | to uninstall it would offer a relief ? | 17:57 |
| mongy | salvatore, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide#Aticonfig_not_found_after_installation_.26_.22module_does_not_exist.22_after_boot | 17:57 |
| dr_willis | installing/uyninstalling to fix things is windows mindset | 17:57 |
| Pisagor | and this mindset sometimes might be useful | 17:57 |
| Pisagor | cause i am really helpless | 17:58 |
| dr_willis | Pisagor: so what are you going to uninstall? :) make a new user see if affects them the same way. if NOT then its a user setting issue. | 17:58 |
| salvatore | mongy: thank you, I not found it, now I read and try again :) | 17:58 |
| dr_willis | if it affects ALL users the same way. then its a system type setting issue. | 17:58 |
| Pisagor | well i am gonna uninstall the default browser, then what may come next | 17:59 |
| Pisagor | will it open the link "in terminal" | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | Pisagor: you would proberly have better luck just deleting all your users settings. | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | if its a user setting issued. | 17:59 |
| Pisagor | and i will keep on uninstaling until it opens in a proper file browser - yes i am a narrow minded one - | 17:59 |
| dr_willis | go ahead then.. have fun. i gave a test to see if its a user or system issue... | 17:59 |
| wols_ | Pisagor: I suspect you will uninstall a lot of dependencies, and you will break your installation even worse | 18:00 |
| Pisagor | wols_, do not scare me | 18:00 |
| wols_ | Pisagor: the problem is not your browser... | 18:00 |
| Pisagor | what is it then | 18:00 |
| dr_willis | a 'user setting' issue........ | 18:00 |
| wols_ | it's the program that calls the browser | 18:00 |
| Pisagor | okay, knowing this makes me feel better... | 18:00 |
| wols_ | Pisagor: a belief is not knowledge | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | the default filetype for open folder may be set to the browser. instead of the 'open folder..' file manager app., | 18:01 |
| Pisagor | okay and do you know where i can set these | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | Not sure about Lubuntum, but in Ubuntu, the 'ubuntu-tweak' app can reset the users settings back to defaults. | 18:01 |
| dr_willis | but its a use at your own risk sort of thing. | 18:02 |
| burgua | hey all! How to hide bluetooth icon in tray? uncheking in preferences doesn't work | 18:02 |
| Pisagor | and reseting all settings back is not a windows mindset solution ? | 18:02 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: sounds like a wine issue | 18:02 |
| dr_willis | Pisagor: if you want to argue all day.. go ahead.. have a nice day. | 18:02 |
| Pisagor | where is the settings that i can edit which program opens which sort of files or links | 18:02 |
| Pisagor | auronandace, is it ? | 18:02 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: you said "open some link in a folder", what link? | 18:03 |
| Pisagor | when i make a shortcut on desktop | 18:03 |
| Pisagor | i usually make shortcuts on desktop to be able to open them in the file manager | 18:04 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: what was it a shortcut to? | 18:04 |
| Pisagor | a folder shortcut | 18:04 |
| zroysch | I need to shrink a 2TB mdadm raid-1 partition slightly to replace a failed hard drive with another model. There's nothing wrong with shrinking a partition with data on it right? | 18:05 |
| Pisagor | an internal folder in my very internal hdd | 18:05 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: which folder? | 18:05 |
| Pisagor | ok auronandace you got me - it was the shortcut of the folder of my porn archive in hdd | 18:05 |
| Pisagor | so is this why ? | 18:05 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: how did you make the shortcut? | 18:06 |
| Pisagor | with the help of nautilus | 18:06 |
| Pisagor | i created the "short link" in the folder itself then i copied it to desktop | 18:06 |
| Pisagor | and it was working well for a while | 18:06 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: until when? | 18:07 |
| escott | zroysch, it must be unmounted, but most fs can be resized easily. i would be more worried about resizing the partition itself | 18:07 |
| Pisagor | until the 13th of june, 13:13 | 18:07 |
| Pisagor | if i could exactly remember "until when" - i would not need any help to fix it, i think auronandace | 18:07 |
| Pisagor | i know the simple rules of logic. | 18:07 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: if you want help you can leave your sarcasm behind | 18:08 |
| Pisagor | ok | 18:08 |
| Pisagor | i dont remember until when - until what i did to my pc | 18:08 |
| Pisagor | i don't have a clue. | 18:08 |
| Pisagor | as a person who doesn't remember what caused it , do i still have a chance to fix ? | 18:09 |
| linusA | Ok I found my solution, If anyone is having trouble getting ps3 sixaxis button presses to register with sixad. edit /etc/default/sixad and change legacy=0 to legacy=1 | 18:09 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: hmm, i'm a little confused at why you provided the "browse c: drive in wine" as an example | 18:09 |
| salvatore | mongy: now it works, thanks :) :) | 18:09 |
| Pisagor | because "browse c: drive in wine" is a good example | 18:10 |
| Pisagor | it's a feature i often use | 18:10 |
| auronandace | Pisagor: as a shortcut on your desktop? | 18:10 |
| Pisagor | yes, shortcuts have the same problem too | 18:11 |
| Pisagor | "browse c: in wine" has too | 18:11 |
| sainath | sainath | 18:11 |
| Pisagor | all links | 18:11 |
| Pisagor | all, i mean all... | 18:11 |
| auronandace | it does sound like a default setting issue | 18:11 |
| Pisagor | okay | 18:12 |
| Pisagor | thanks. | 18:12 |

| theadmin | Gasseus: There's a tool called crebs in ppa:crebs/ppa | 19:03 |
| escott | Gasseus, write a script that calls out to gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename --type string "filename_goes_here" | 19:03 |
| theadmin | escott: or that... :D | 19:03 |
| Spaceghost | Hi all, I would like to know how can I watch videos while they are being downloaded? | 19:04 |
| theadmin | Gasseus: Some instructions here: http://www.obfuscatepenguin.net/crebs/ | 19:04 |
| Spaceghost | using VLC, mplayer or any of the conventionals programs for do it. | 19:04 |
| Gasseus | theadmin mmk thanks | 19:04 |
| dr_willis | Spaceghost: downloaded from where? | 19:05 |
| Gasseus | escott does unity still use gconftool-2? I thought it moved to something completely different... | 19:05 |
| Spaceghost | dr_willis: megaupload, hotfile and similars, supossing that I made all the necessary for start the download (captha and that thing) | 19:06 |
| escott | Gasseus, unity in 11.04 is still based on gnome2 so yes. not sure what will happen with 11.10 it may have to be something gsettings related | 19:06 |
| Spaceghost | there is another detail and it's that I would like use while I am watching it a subtitles downloaded separetely | 19:06 |
| jrib | Spaceghost: just point your player to the file (for firefox this file ends in .part while it downloads) | 19:06 |
| Spaceghost | I don't know if it will become it more hard | 19:06 |
| Gasseus | escott Well, the current 11.10 repos have gnome3 rather then gnome 2.30 | 19:06 |
| Spaceghost | to sincronize | 19:06 |
| dr_willis | Spaceghost: not really noticed a way to do it. there could be a lot of potential issues. but i rarely get videos from such sources. I did see where Utorrent3 had a 'stream' option to watch as you download. | 19:07 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: utorrent on Linux won't have that. | 19:07 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: I mean, the only way to control it is via a web interface | 19:07 |
| dr_willis | any subtitle files would be very tiny size compared to a videos size | 19:07 |
| Spaceghost | jrib: really so easy? | 19:07 |
| dr_willis | theadmin: yep. | 19:07 |
| jrib | Spaceghost: yes. | 19:07 |
| Gasseus | theadmin: Wine maybe? | 19:07 |

| jrib | ben22: check | 19:10 |
| jrib | ben22: if it still doesn't work, pastebin your .xinitrc | 19:11 |
| ben22 | jrib, .xinitrc consists of one line: /usr/bin/ion3 | 19:11 |

| theadmin | bullgard4_: 20GB for / is enough. | 19:18 |
| escott | apapa, you can run hda tool in an analyze mode. usually when you plug/unplug the headphone there is supposed to be some process which sees that happen and toggles off the output flag on the speakers and on the flag on the headphone, but it may not be looking at the correct pin | 19:18 |

| s10lolo | i am looking for a way to see the cpu temp of my 2600k sandybridge cpu. is it possible? | 19:27 |
| escott | apapa, i can't tell you exactly what to do its specific to your hardware. but if your model is listed in alsa's list of known configurations take that model identifier string and add it to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as options snd-hda-intel model=whatever and then sude alsa force-reload | 19:28 |

| billymaze | Hello! | 19:30 |
| billymaze | I just got a new external hard drive and I want to use truecrypt to encrypt some data. However, I'm not sure if I should use an encrypted container or make an encrypted partition. Is one better than the other? | 19:30 |
| billymaze | If so, why? | 19:30 |
| apapa | escott, it's not exactly the same model number as listed... | 19:32 |
| lion42 | It'd probably be easier to just encrypt the whole drive, especially if you're going to use a significant portion of it for sensitive data | 19:32 |
| lion42 | but I don't know the safety of encrypted containers. | 19:32 |
| lion42 | (I use whole-device) | 19:32 |
| corinth | The touchpad sensitivity in the mouse settings don't seem to be doing anything for me....does anyone have any suggestions? | 19:33 |
| escott | apapa, its worth a try if its similar. if it doesn't work you can just undo the change | 19:33 |
| lion42 | corinth, have you tried searching "ubuntu yourmodelcomputer touchpad" on google or similar? | 19:33 |
| Dulak | billymaze: It depends on usage, if you are going to have it mounted most of the time, the partition is probably best. If it will only rarely be mounted, the container probably makes more sense | 19:33 |

| theadmin | corinth: I think just the sections you need | 19:37 |

| hoopjumping | Hi, can I get synaptic to install in a custom directory? I don't have much room in my 16gb partition, so I'd rather install to the other hard drive | 19:51 |
| lion42 | Reaper, its faster if you have older hardware, or want to free up resources for other tasks. | 19:51 |
| italoxp | Reaper, it's just so versatile that it can emulate GNOME classic. Tha's why people are starting to use it. | 19:51 |
| lion42 | That's really the big benefit. | 19:51 |
| Reaper | ahh I see | 19:51 |
| needhelp1 | yeats, so that worked, but the log of all the files to be changed was to long, i cant scroll through them all, any ideas? | 19:51 |
| xangua | hoopjumping: make your partition bigger ;) | 19:51 |
| italoxp | Reaper, it also uses the same themes as GNOME, so you can get the same desktop with less resources. | 19:51 |
| Reaper | got cha | 19:51 |
| hoopjumping | xangua: Can't, that's the entireity of the 16gb hard drive. | 19:51 |
| xangua | hoopjumping: then delete files, uninstall stuf | 19:52 |
| escott | hoopjumping, you should mount that spare drive to some place like /usr/share/games which is non-critical but might take a lot of disk space | 19:52 |
| yeats | needhelp1: go to the /media/External\ Seagate/ directory and do 'ls -la' to make sure everything's there | 19:52 |

| BlueWolf | Hi, Could someone explain to me why a Core i3 - 2.93GHz, 2GB RAM DDR3 is running as slow as a Pentium 3? Is the any program in Ubuntu 10.10 that could slow it down? In my system monitor - it says my Ram is running at 60%, When the only programs running are Opera, System Monitor, Torrent Transmission, Two file systems and Empathy? Can Anyone help? | 19:53 |
| Spaceghost | see you, guys. | 19:53 |
| italoxp | BlueWolf, check on top (terminal, run top) if there are other apps | 19:53 |
| italoxp | BlueWolf, look for processes that uses lots of cpu and ram | 19:54 |
| escott | hoopjumping, are you at all familiar with mountpoints and fstab | 19:54 |
| italoxp | But Opera uses a lot of ram, depending of how many tabs you're using | 19:54 |
| hoopjumping | escott: Not at all. | 19:54 |
| yeats | !fstab | hoopjumping | 19:54 |
| ubottu | hoopjumping: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 19:54 |

| hoopjumping | I'll read the first link, thanks | 19:55 |
| italoxp | theadmin, every single browser works that way. More tabs, more memory. | 19:55 |

| Scunizi | BlueWolf: top | 19:57 |
| italoxp | Sorry | 19:57 |
| italoxp | BlueWolf, like I said, run top on terminal | 19:57 |
| escott | s10lolo, it could be that sandybridge is a bit too new. should work with 11.10 | 19:57 |
| apn | MadRush, on client machine only out, server both ways | 19:57 |
| Whitesquall | BlueWolf: top or you can use more useful htop | 19:57 |
| italoxp | I never knew the difference between them | 19:57 |
| italoxp | Only the colors >.< | 19:57 |
| BlueWolf | The thing thats bugging me is that everything looks normal! It's not as slow now, but every now and then it dose this.... :D | 19:58 |
| yeats | BlueWolf: you can just keep the terminal with top running open in the background and check it when the problem recurs | 19:59 |
| escott | BlueWolf, it may not be cpu related it could be input/output related | 20:01 |
| BlueWolf | yeats, But I have tryed to track the problem, But just as the Terminal has shown me, everything looks normal. But its slow... | 20:01 |

| yeats | wrtiii: looks like one of the programs you're trying to install requires apache-mpm-worker and another needs apache-mpm-prefork and those can't *both* be installed | 20:18 |
| endip | yeats, I think that wols believed the problem was with network manager and not with the Realtek RTL8111/8168B drivers, or modules loaded during boot.

| escott | astraljava, Zorgs cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags and look for "lm" may be faster | 20:26 |
| Seveas | herrgabriel, you should not skip a release when upgrading unless you know how to recover from deep trouble | 20:27 |
| astraljava | escott: And what does lm mean, then? | 20:27 |
| wrtiii | yeats: same error | 20:27 |
| Seveas | astraljava, "long math" | 20:27 |
| herrgabriel | Seveas, now I do how to handle things when the shit hit the fan. But since I have my files backed up with DeJa Dup I guess a clean install would be less troublesome | 20:27 |
| yeats | wrtiii: okay - try 'sudo apt-get update' and see if that works | 20:28 |
| escott | astraljava, long mode | 20:28 |
| Zorgs | I got a response that I can have 64-bit, how to reinstall with a 64-bit version? (did "autoinstall" from the CD and apparently got the 32-bit version) | 20:28 |
| astraljava | Seveas: Okay, thanks. escott: Might be slightly faster, but my method is more convenient. :D | 20:28 |
| CoJaBo | How do I get GIMP to do... anything at all but segfault? Running Kubuntu 11.04. | 20:28 |
| wrtiii | yeats: nice.. uhh -- W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty-updates/universe/i18n/Translation-en Cannot initiate the connection to ca.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.31). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] | 20:28 |
| CoJaBo | installing from apt-get install gimp | 20:28 |
| Seveas | astraljava, I think yours is clearer. Thanks for sharing it :) | 20:29 |
| yeats | wrtiii: well that would certainly cause aptitude to fail ;-) | 20:29 |
| herrgabriel | CoJaBo, try removing KDE and installing GDE... (scnr) | 20:29 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, fix your memory | 20:29 |
| astraljava | Seveas: Trademarked by Myrtti. :) Thank her. :) | 20:29 |
| herrgabriel | Ah, but thanks Seveas. Will do a quickclean now :) | 20:29 |
| escott | astraljava, agreed. Zorgs you have do download a different iso image from ubuntu.com for 64bit | 20:29 |
| CoJaBo | herrgabriel: yeh, I don't think its kde related :P | 20:29 |
| Zorgs | ah | 20:30 |
| wrtiii | yeats: Ok So why is the default installation trying to find something that does not exist? | 20:30 |
| endip | Anyone have any idea why my lan card is recognized correctly in Ubuntu, but I can't get wired networking to work? | 20:30 |
| CoJaBo | Seveas: crashes immediately in startup, if it was that bad a mammary error, it'd effect other apps... | 20:30 |
| Seveas | endip, how far does it get? No link, no ip address, no interface? | 20:30 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, one would think | 20:30 |
| yeats | wrtiii: eh? I'm seeing "Network is unreachable" which you'd need to fix before aptitude will work | 20:31 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, mv ~/.gimp-2.6 ~/.gimp-2.6-backup && sudo apt-get install --reinstall gimp | 20:31 |
| Myrtti | astraljava, Seveas :-D | 20:31 |
| Seveas | see if that fixes it | 20:31 |
| StevenR | endip: does ifconfig -a show eth0 ? if so, try sudo ethtool eth0 and see if a link is detected | 20:31 |
| CoJaBo | Seveas: i.e., before gui even.. total exec time is 840 ms start to crash -_-' | 20:31 |
| endip | Seveas, No link (in other words, the "wired network" option in the indicator in the panel is grayed out?), no IP address, and I don't know about interface. Is there a command I can run for that? | 20:31 |
| wrtiii | yeats: I'm seeing the file it's requesting on the far end not existing? | 20:31 |
| endip | StevenR, ifconfig - a shows eth0, yes. | 20:31 |
| Seveas | endip, the commands StevenR just gave | 20:32 |
| StevenR | endip: so what does sudo ethtool eth0 say? | 20:32 |
| endip | Seveas, thanks | 20:32 |
| yeats | wrtiii: ah - okay - that probably means the mirror is out of sync - try changing mirrors | 20:32 |
| wrtiii | yeats: What is network unreachable supposed to mean then? | 20:32 |
| endip | StevenR, k, give me a second I'm chatting on a different computer. | 20:32 |
| yeats | can you ping anything? | 20:32 |
| yeats | wrtiii: ^^ | 20:32 |
| Seveas | wrtiii, that either the computer is not connected to the internet or the server on the other end is down | 20:32 |
| wrtiii | years: How do I change to a different mirror? | 20:33 |
| Seveas | wrtiii, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 20:33 |
| Seveas | change ca.archive to uk.archive | 20:33 |
| Seveas | that one generally works | 20:34 |
| CoJaBo | Seveas: It doesn't get far enough to create the .gimp dir. Waiting on the reinstall now | 20:34 |
| yeats | wrtiii: or choose a mirror close to you from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 20:34 |
| endip | StevenR, Here's the output from ifconfig lspci http://pastebin.com/r1FrAzND | 20:35 |
| Seveas | yeats, though that's generally a good idea, I always like to use the canonical archive when debugging. It's up most of the time. | 20:35 |
| CoJaBo | Seveas: Yeh, still segfaults after the reinstall :/ | 20:35 |
| endip | StevenR, give me a sec to run sudo ethtool eth0, k | 20:35 |
| yeats | Seveas: good thought | 20:36 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, install the gimp-dbg package and run it with gdb. See where it crashes | 20:36 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, also, pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy gimp' | 20:36 |
| endip | StevenR, sudo ethtool eth0 returned that ethtool is not installed. (Command not found). I don't have an internet connection on that computer so give me a second while I install it manually. | 20:37 |
| endip | ethtool that is | 20:37 |
| Seveas | ethtool is not installed by default? Damn... | 20:37 |
| astraljava | endip: You can also do `grep NetworkManager /var/log/syslog`, and see whether it even recognizes the interface. | 20:38 |
| chenthu | why do i have to run modperobe b43 everytime i loggin to make my wifi work.....is thaere a way to enable it permanently | 20:38 |

| chenthu | Seveas: thank you | 20:39 |
| synapse | wow, did a dist upgrade from edgy (I think) to 10.04 with no problems, didn't screw up anything for my nvidia | 20:40 |
| synapse | first time that's EVER worked | 20:40 |
| peeps[lappy] | is there a ppa or something to get the latest nvidia drivers? or do i just have to download/install them outside of the package manager | 20:40 |
| CoJaBo | Seveas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660072/ , also, how do I run it in gdb? | 20:40 |
| synapse | when will a dist upgrade for 11.04 be available? | 20:40 |
| Zorgs | Oh come on, how come it takes forever to install a webbrowser on the computer? | 20:40 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, gdb gimp | 20:41 |
| endip | astraljava, thanks I'll try that too | 20:41 |
| synapse | gdb gimp? | 20:41 |
| Seveas | and in the gdb thing, just type run | 20:41 |
| Zorgs | Trying to install Google Chrome and it has asked me to verify with password and then nothing happens | 20:41 |
| astraljava | Btw. good to see you again, Seveas. :) (I know, OT, non-relevant, but still :D) | 20:41 |
| peeps[lappy] | really getting sick of abysmal graphics performance with nvidia | 20:41 |

| Omneh | wrtiii, :q will quit, :q! will quit with forcing no saved changes :wq will quit while writing changes, so will just typing ZZ | 20:43 |

| synapse | in the gui | 20:43 |
| cgtdk | It sure will | 20:43 |
| Omneh | but you have to be in command mode, if the bottom of your screen says insert or replace or visual then you need to peck Esc | 20:43 |

| synapse | peeps[lappy]: you gotta get a real nvidia card, I have a 9800gt sli and it's badass | 20:44 |

| astraljava | endip: So it's not getting anything from DHCP. Are there other devices that do get an IP from the DHCP server, wherever it resides in your network? | 20:49 |
| wols_ | endip: is it eth0 now? | 20:49 |
| wols_ | endip: and what if you set up a static IP via /etc/network/interfaces? | 20:49 |
| Seveas | CoJaBo, do you have a .gtkrc with crap in it? | 20:50 |
| endip | wols I posted all the outputs a few minutes ago in pastbin | 20:50 |

| endip | wols :: I would love to set up a static ip. how do I do that? (PS. All of my info is in that pastebin file) I did exactly was you told me. Reinstalled ubuntu and came back for help. Glad to see you're here. | 20:51 |
| wols_ | endip: http://paste.debian.net/125309/ | 20:52 |

| wols_ | endip: not for long. it's 11pm | 20:54 |
| Seveas | endip, do you have an adsl/cable router thing that has a whitelist for who can connect? | 20:54 |
| endip | Seveas -- No white list no. | 20:54 |
| endip | wols. I'm on it. | 20:54 |
| cjs226 | i have ubuntu-desktop 11.04 installed in a vm i'm usring to tinker with. how can i disable X from starting? google's not returning working solutions | 20:54 |
| endip | wols :: how do I put that info into my interfaces or whatever. Where's the file again, I don;t remember | 20:55 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: You can try to unlink a link from /etc/rc2.d to /etc/init.d/gdm . That is if upstart is not the default yet and if gdm is still used... maybe it is used ldm (lightdm). | 20:56 |
| endip | Seveas -- the only limitation on my router is that I have it set to allow 10 IP address. I have like 4 or 5 computers connected. | 20:56 |
| endip | Seveas :: Actuall I only have 4 computers on my network that have IP addresses. So I don't think that's it. (Though I could always be wrong) | 20:57 |
| endip | wols :: Where's that interfaces file that I need to added those lines to? | 20:57 |
| Seveas | endip, did you have other computers connected in the past? They might still be in the routers config | 20:57 |
| astraljava | endip: What does `sudo dhclient3 eth0` output? | 20:58 |
| endip | Seveas :: The router is currently showing 4 computers connected. 4 IP addresses given out. (I'm monitoring it.) | 20:58 |

| yeats | endip: using 'sudo ifup eth0'? (assuming you're not in a root shell) | 21:07 |

| wols_ | endip: what is your ethernet's device name? | 21:08 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: Another way of disabling it might be editing the corresponding script on /etc/init.d/ (gdm, xdm or ldm) and add a "exit 0" line as the second line after the #!/bin/bash line. | 21:08 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: But that's more a hack than an elegant disabling of Xorg. | 21:08 |

| chenthu | adrian15: ok but i am new to linux and could u tell me what a chroot is or a link to start with? | 21:11 |
| wols_ | !chroot | 21:12 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | Obfuscation: are the disks 'finalized | 21:12 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: Did you see dr_willis pieces of advice? /etc/init.d/gdm.conf probably it is /etc/init.d/gdm . | 21:12 |
| wols_ | endip: so can you ping google now? | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | Obfuscation: are the disks 'finalized' after you burn them? windows can treat them as a big floppy disk and wont finalize them which can cause issues.. dependin on hwo it burnt. | 21:12 |
| dr_willis | adrian15: cjs226 on 10.04 it is /etc/init/gdm.conf init.d is the OLD sysv method... init is Upstart | 21:13 |
| l4than-d3vers | Hello, does anyone know how I can invert the colors on my display *without compiz* ? | 21:13 |
| dr_willis | l4than-d3vers: change your theme colors.. | 21:13 |
| Delano | hi, i get an error saying my software index is broken. It says "the package remastersys needs to be reinstalled but I can't find the package for it" | 21:13 |
| cjs226 | adrian15 | dr_willis: i tried using text as a kernel option in grub and i never receieved a console upon bootup | 21:13 |
| endip | wols_, no, I get unknown host google.com | 21:13 |
| wols_ | endip: ping your router IP | 21:13 |
| dr_willis | cjs226: thats odd.. i tend to use 'nosplash nofb noquiet text' | 21:14 |
| adrian15 | dr_willis: Thank you. /etc/init/ . Interesting. | 21:14 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: How did you add that kernel option ? | 21:14 |
| endip | wols_, I get Network is unreachable | 21:14 |
| wols_ | endip: what is your router ip? | 21:14 |
| Delano | hello? | 21:14 |
| endip | wols 192.168.0.1 | 21:14 |
| dr_willis | !upstart | 21:15 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:15 |
| wols_ | endip: then why did you set the static IP to be 192.168.1.10? | 21:15 |
| v3n0w | Hello guys. I have upgraded to natty, but I think I need the old 1394 firewire stack to make my stereo camera work. And it is not available. Is there any work around for this? | 21:15 |
| cjs226 | dr_willis: with 11.04? i added text to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub then ran update-grub | 21:15 |
| Captainkrtek | endip: it should be x.x.0.10 | 21:15 |
| endip | wols_, good question. :-( | 21:15 |
| adrian15 | cjs226: Do you get the option when you run cat /proc/cmdline ? | 21:15 |
| dr_willis | cjs226 thats how i do it all the time.. | 21:16 |
| cjs226 | adrian15 | dr_willis: i'll try it again | 21:16 |
| dr_willis | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" | 21:16 |
| endip | Captainkrtek, yeah, I know, I just changed it | 21:16 |
| dr_willis | oops dont have text here. :) | 21:16 |
| dr_willis | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noquiet nosplash nomodeset text" | 21:17 |
| endip | wols do I need ifup again after changing interfaces? | 21:17 |
| wols_ | yes. ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 | 21:17 |
| endip | wols_, a better question might be, how can I get a new ip address after I change the interfaces file? It's still set at 192.168.1.110 | 21:18 |
| wrtiii | cp /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/Universal /etc/shorewall ---> cp: omitting directory `/usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/Universal' | 21:18 |
| wols_ | I just told you the commands to use | 21:18 |
| wrtiii | wtf ^^ | 21:18 |
| endip | wols :: I got a new ip address now. | 21:18 |
| dr_willis | wrtiii: need the -r for recursive option? | 21:18 |
| Ademan | I'm reading up on mdadm it sounds as though I can create a raid out of two partitions. I have to asymmetrical disks. Is there any reason why I SHOULDN'T create a pair of symmetrical partitions on either disk then use the remainder of the larger disk for /boot ? | 21:18 |
| cjs226 | dr_willis | adrian15: it worked! i didn't set the noquiet or nosplash before. could that have been an issue? | 21:18 |
| wols_ | endip: in the proper subnet? | 21:19 |
| Ademan | two asymmetrical disks* | 21:19 |
| endip | wols :: yeah, I can ping my router now | 21:19 |
| dr_willis | cjs226: i just use them because i HATE plymouth. :) | 21:19 |
| endip | wols :: i'll try google in a sec | 21:19 |
| cjs226 | dr_willis | adrian15: thanks for your help! | 21:19 |
| wols_ | endip: try your router IP first | 21:19 |
| Delano | hello? | 21:19 |
| endip | wols -- pinging google | 21:19 |
| bazhang | Delano, hi | 21:19 |
| endip | wols - I tried both | 21:19 |
| endip | wols : both are working | 21:19 |
| Delano | hi, i get an error saying my software index is broken. It says "the package remastersys needs to be reinstalled but I can't find the package for it" | 21:19 |
| wols_ | !info remastersys | 21:20 |
| ubottu | Package remastersys does not exist in natty | 21:20 |
| bazhang | Delano, remastersys is not in the ubuntu repos, where did you get it from | 21:20 |
| wols_ | Delano: full output of your error when running apt-get please | 21:20 |
| Delano | wols_, sec | 21:20 |
| wrtiii | dr_wills: -r worked but what exactly did that do? | 21:20 |
| farchord | Hey guys, anyone know why there isn't a french canadian layout in the latest Xubuntu? Tried Canada Multilingual, all variations, but they dont match | 21:20 |
| wols_ | wrtiii: you tried to copy a whole directory | 21:21 |
| endip | wols :: so, this is bypassing the network manager? | 21:21 |
| wols_ | endip: yes | 21:21 |

| farchord | mmm :( | 21:22 |
| endip | wols_, So, this is crazy. I have the same ethernet controller on my laptop and it works fine. Any idea why it isn't working on this new box? | 21:22 |
| Delano | wols_, http://pastebin.com/EcCykbZF | 21:22 |
| adrian15 | wols_: network-manager will replace /etc/network/interfaces when the cable is plugged in and plugged out and he needs to remove it or... will it respect the interfaces content? I had some problems with that long ago that's why I ask. | 21:22 |
| Captainkrtek | farchord: you could try this though http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66115 | 21:23 |
| Captainkrtek | :-) | 21:23 |
| lixxus | what is the upgrade path from v7 to v8 ? | 21:23 |
| adrian15 | wols_: The question is related to endip issue. | 21:23 |
| chenthu | !chroot | 21:23 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:23 |
| bazhang | !eol | lixxus | 21:23 |
| ubottu | lixxus: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:23 |
| wols_ | adrian15: it intended to ignore any interfaces for which /etc/network/interfaces has settings | 21:23 |
| bazhang | lixxus, you would not, you'd update to a supported version | 21:24 |
| farchord | Captainkrtek, guess ill try that thanks | 21:24 |
| wols_ | emid: no. imho nm is simply shitty software | 21:24 |
| szal | lixxus: what is v7 and v8? | 21:24 |
| Captainkrtek | farchord: no problem, good luck! | 21:25 |
| endip | wols_, will these settings get lost if I reboot, or unplug? Via adrian15 's question. | 21:25 |
| wols_ | endip: no. they persist | 21:26 |
| wols_ | Delano: pastebin.com times out | 21:26 |
| Delano | wols_, ? | 21:26 |
| Reaper | virtualbox | 21:26 |
| Reaper | doh | 21:26 |
| wols_ | Delano: you have a package remastersys installed from god knows where. remove it with dpkg | 21:26 |
| adrian15 | wols_: I see. I think that network-manager made me nervous when I set up the network manually with ifconfig commands without editing interfaces file. That might be. | 21:27 |
| endip | wols_, ok. thanks a lot. I have to go work on file sharing now. any suggestions on where to read up on sharing between linux PCs? | 21:27 |
| wols_ | adrian15: yes, using ifconfig to set up the network is not respected by nm. it will overwrite that kind of config immediately | 21:27 |
| endip | wols I haven't done it in a while. | 21:27 |
| v3n0w | Hello guys. I have upgraded to natty, but I think I need the old 1394 firewire stack to make my stereo camera work. And it is not available. Is there any work around for this? | 21:27 |
| adrian15 | wols_: Although I would recommend endip to add a dns-nameservers line to interfaces file because I am not sure if network-manager tried to overwrite it if it found another interface. | 21:27 |
| LarsT | Hello! | 21:28 |
| wols_ | adrian15: for that you need the resolvconf package | 21:28 |
| Delano | wols_, how do I remove it with dpkg? | 21:28 |
| adrian15 | wols_: Ahm, yes, you are right. | 21:28 |
| wols_ | Delano: dpkg -r see man dpkg | 21:28 |
| farchord | Captainkrtek, ha! I'm proud of myself now! I found how, wasn't that link! XD xfce comes with a configuration editor, basically a bit like Windows's Registry editor, in it's most simplified form. Changed the keyboard layout there, and BAM, worked :) | 21:29 |
| derp | How do i merge 2 folders in Ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| Delano | wols_, not sure how to use it | 21:30 |
| adrian15 | derp: Can you define "merge" ? | 21:31 |
| derp | adrian15, 2 different folders with different filenames into one single folder | 21:31 |
| Seveas | derp, mv -i /path/to/folder1/* /path/to/folder2/ | 21:32 |
| Seveas | -i for interactive, that prompts before overwriting files | 21:32 |
| derp | thanks. | 21:32 |
| adrian15 | derp: Moving them into a new folder ? Or just linking them ? | 21:32 |
| derp | adrian15, Seveas gave me a good answer | 21:32 |
| derp | :) | 21:32 |
| chenthu | unity is supposed to open an already running instance of an application when it is minimized and reclicked the application icon...but this doesnt seem to happen with XChat...whay is that?...every time i click it creates a new instance of xchat with the other one still running | 21:33 |
| adrian15 | derp: Seveas answer: If a file is in both folder1 and folder2 the folder1 copy will be preserved and the folder2 will be lost. | 21:33 |
| coz_ | chenthu, does middle click do it? | 21:34 |
| chenthu | coz_, hmmm let me check it... | 21:35 |
| Seveas | adrian15, not with -i. It'll ask you whether to overwrite or not | 21:35 |
| chenthu | coz_, lol...sry i am using keypad and there is no middle mouse button ... :-P | 21:36 |
| coz_ | chenthu, ah ok hold on | 21:36 |
| adrian15 | Seveas: You are right :) . | 21:36 |
| chenthu | coz_, ok | 21:36 |
| Seveas | adrian15, I always am :P | 21:36 |

| DangerOnTheRangr | When I log in, notifications are displayed, but after GNOME finishes loading, notifications no longer display. Does anyone know why this is? I'm using 10.04. | 21:38 |
| coz_ | chenthu, take alook here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-04-Unity-Keyboard-Shortcuts-and-Tricks-200390.shtml I believe one way to open xcaht from launcher , rather not open a second instance is windows key ( aka Super) and the nnumber of the icon from top to bottom on the launcher | 21:39 |
| chenthu | coz_, ok will look at it..thank you :) | 21:40 |

| peepsalot | how do i switch from nvidia drivers to nouveau? i used the "additional drivers" GUI tool or whatever it's called to disable nvidia but now i just can't get into X, it seems to still be looking for nvidia drivers on boot | 21:40 |
| bregma | peepsalot, boot into text mode and type 'sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current' | 21:41 |
| bregma | peepsalot, it may also be necessary to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:41 |
| coz_ | chenthu, no problem,, I do have an image that is going to be used as a compiz plugin with some of the shortcuts as an overlay image but that plugin is not in compiz just yet here is the image http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/keys.png | 21:42 |

| Seveas | correct symlinks to java etc. are maintained bia update-java-alternatives | 21:42 |
| HelloWorld321 | Seveas: Tx. K. It's probably an obsolete posting | 21:43 |
| chenthu | coz_, the link u gave speaks of short cuts...but i want it to work it like it does on chrome firefox ermianl or other apps with a small marker to the left of the icon | 21:43 |

| adrian15 | HelloWorld321: What I do to activate java is to enable partner repository and install the sun-java-jre package. | 21:44 |

| Seveas | it's been years since I touched that | 21:45 |
| HelloWorld321 | Seveas, adrian15: Tx, kindly | 21:45 |
| chenthu | coz_, ok | 21:45 |
| Seveas | yeah, definitely use the sun java. openjdk and gcj cause nothing but problems for me | 21:46 |
| peepsalot | bregma, thanks, got into X again | 21:47 |
| coz_ | chenthu, ok now you have xchat opened and it is minimized ...yes? | 21:47 |
| coz_ | chenthu, or explain again what you want ? | 21:47 |

| szal | peepsalot: how is the nVidia driver terrible? | 21:49 |
| Fuego | Can anyone help? | 21:49 |
| peepsalot | poor frame rate mainly, also i've never seen one that worked with suspend or hibernate | 21:49 |
| bazhang | Fuego, formerly windows? dual boot with what then | 21:49 |
| chenthu | coz_, yeah it is opened but when i minimize it i could not find it anywhere when i click the icon on unity sidebar a new irc client opens,not the previously connected one, i have to use alt+tab to select the xchat again | 21:49 |
| LarsT | !Help | Fuego | 21:49 |

| bazhang | LarsT, he did. | 21:49 |
| matalo | can i remove a package with dpkg but leave all package files installed? | 21:50 |
| coz_ | chenthu, ok understood,, let me play here since I genrerally dont use unity | 21:50 |
| Fuego | bahzang - sorry, is still windows. I mean I'm moving from pure windows 7 to the dual boot. | 21:50 |
| StevenR | matalo: why do you want to do that? What's your actual goal? | 21:50 |
| LarsT | bazhang | 21:50 |
| LarsT | [23:49] <Fuego> Can anyone help? | 21:50 |
| bazhang | Fuego, ah okay; windows 7 sometimes creates this odd 100 mb partition | 21:50 |
| matalo | php5-sqlite has broken deps, i'm not actually using it but a php application requires it | 21:51 |
| bazhang | LarsT, he already asked the question. please pay attention | 21:51 |

| LarsT | !repeat | 21:51 |
| ubottu | 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/ | 21:51 |
| LarsT | i meant | 21:51 |
| chenthu | coz_, but in the case of firfox, chrome, terminal and other apps. when i minimize, i get a small marker to the left of the icon and the number of marker curresponds to the number of windows or instances of that application running and i get to choose the instance with the switcher | 21:51 |
| bazhang | Fuego, I'd boot using the gparted livecd | 21:51 |
| bazhang | LarsT, stop that | 21:51 |
| LarsT | bazhang stop too do not annoy me | 21:51 |
| Fuego | gparted live CD? | 21:51 |
| LarsT | i do my thing you do yours | 21:51 |
| coz_ | chenthu, I see that,, mm could be a issue with xchat itself then | 21:51 |
| Fuego | How is that different from the standard live CD? | 21:52 |
| coz_ | chenthu, I am not having any luck with this here but still playing | 21:52 |
| chenthu | coz_, i dont think this is a problem with xchat, cause some other app too behaved the same way...let me find out | 21:53 |
| Seveas | bazhang, having fun with the trolls? | 21:53 |
| coz_ | chenthu, sorry I have to log out of Unity, I am not at all likeing this brb | 21:54 |
| chenthu | coz_, yeah it was with Vidalia (Tor) but that was worse...cause it would never open another instance and would never kill the previous one too...got me stauck that i have to relog to make tor work again | 21:54 |
| peepsalot | how do i quit X for a manual install of nvidia driver binary? IIRC i have to set the runlevel to something? | 21:54 |
| Fuego | Looking up the GParted Live Cd- I'm unsure as to what it does for me, in this case? | 21:54 |
| Seveas | peepsalot, <ctrl><alt><f1>, log in, /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 21:55 |
| bazhang | Fuego, hang on a second busy just now | 21:55 |
| chenthu | coz_, wb | 21:55 |
| matalo | StevenR: I was hoping dpkg could remove the package but leave all installed files behind. That will solve my broken dependency problems and still let the app believe that php5-sqlite is installed. | 21:55 |
| coz_ | chenthu, I am going to back out of this issue since I cant be sure of its solution , I dont use Unity at all | 21:55 |
| chenthu | coz_, yeah it was with Vidalia (Tor) but that was worse...cause it would never open another instance and would never kill the previous one too...got me stauck that i have to relog to make tor work again | 21:55 |

| chenthu | coz_, thats ok...thank you for trying out... :) | 21:56 |
| coz_ | chenthu, no problem,, sorry I couldnt solve this one | 21:56 |
| Seveas | LarsTorben, can you please stop annoying bazhang? If you don't agree with his actions, please discuss it in #ubuntu-ops instead of trying to join | 21:56 |
| chenthu | coz_, thats ok ...i think i got to report this bug | 21:56 |
| peepsalot | Seveas, nvidia binary still says i'm running X | 21:57 |
| chenthu | coz_, are u using xchat? | 21:57 |
| bastidrazor | peepsalot: sudo service gdm stop | 21:57 |
| coz_ | chenthu, yes I am | 21:57 |
| coz_ | chenthu, it didnt work well in Unity at all | 21:57 |
| peepsalot | bastidrazor, that seemed to work | 21:57 |
| Seveas | peepsalot, nasty trick to do in the terminal where you logged in (don't do this if you logged in as root!): kill -9 -1 (this kills all your processes except the current shell) | 21:58 |
| coz_ | chenthu, as far as minimizing it and maximizing it | 21:58 |
| chenthu | coz_,can i pm u regarding an xchat query as this is only for ubuntu | 21:58 |

| bastidrazor | peepsalot: you can then install the driver from that same tty and also restart X with sudo service gdm start ..also getting to X again would be ctrl alt F7 | 21:59 |
| Seveas | (bastidrazor, ctrl is not needed to go back to X, just ALT+F7) | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | Seveas: i stand corrected | 21:59 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | does restarting X in Lubuntu the same as in Ubuntu? | 22:00 |
| DangerOnTheRangr | I found the answer to my own question (notify-osd not displaying messages): You must disable any applications (like Totem) that keep the screensaver from activating. It's a known bug with notify-osd - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/402962 | 22:00 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 402962 in notify-osd (Ubuntu) "Notify OSD should not rely on applications that inhibit the screensaver" [Medium,New] | 22:00 |
| Seveas | ma5t3rw1tt, probably not | 22:00 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @Seveas - Have they changed the key combination of restarting X? | 22:01 |
| StevenR | matalo: in that case, you could either fix the package (file a bug if it's bug), or extract the package manually, and put everything where it should be (though I don't advise that)... or install a "local" copy in /usr/local | 22:01 |

| Seveas | the old ctrl+alt+backspace shortcut has been disabled in all ubuntu variants a few years ago | 22:03 |
| HSL | Seveas: http://pastebin.com/EiUkNBgP | 22:03 |

| napoly | broadcom corporation bcm4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller | 22:04 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @Seveas: So I press the CTRL+ALT+F1 and then run that /etc/init.d/ldm restart ? | 22:04 |
| napoly | pci | 22:04 |
| Seveas | and find out in which configfile (~/.bash* /etc/profile /etc/environment or /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile.d/* it is set) | 22:04 |
| Seveas | ^- HSL | 22:04 |
| Seveas | ma5t3rw1tt, yes | 22:04 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @Seveas: Then the shortcut for restarting becomes CTRL+ALT+F1 from now on? | 22:05 |
| Seveas | ma5t3rw1tt, there is no shortcut for restarting. c-a-f1 just brings you to a tty | 22:05 |
| ma5t3rw1tt | @Seveas: Ahh I had that happen to me asking me to login, I tried putting startx for getting the desktop back up and nothing work, or do you type something else? | 22:06 |
| Seveas | alt+f7 to switch back to the terminal where x is running | 22:06 |

| Seveas | anyway, as a workaround at this to the very bottom of your ~/.bashrc: unset LC_CTYPE | 22:21 |

| jrib | JaUg: sure | 22:25 |
| coz_ | JaUg, you can try to install the current version,, | 22:25 |
| JaUg | well i did once but there was problems with drivers | 22:25 |
| coz_ | JaUg, ah ok ,,, video drivers ? | 22:25 |
| JaUg | its Processor: AMD Fusion E-350, Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6310 | 22:25 |
| JaUg | yeah, AMD just released drivers so i wanna try again | 22:26 |
| coz_ | JaUg, did you try ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 22:26 |
| JaUg | but i dont know if i want LTS or 11 | 22:26 |
| * Seveas off, 'night all | 22:26 | |
| JaUg | i think so yes | 22:26 |
| JaUg | or if i want 32 or 64 bit | 22:26 |
| coz_ | JaUg, if it was LTS you already tried then go for the 11.04 ... and is your system 64 bit? | 22:26 |
| coz_ | JaUg, in terminal arch | 22:26 |
| sabaton | coz_, E350 is 64bits | 22:27 |
| LarsTorben | take ubuntu 11.04 64bit | 22:27 |
| coz_ | sabaton, thanks | 22:27 |
| JaUg | as sabaton said :P | 22:27 |
| coz_ | JaUg, yeah go for the 64 bit 11.04 | 22:27 |
| JaUg | wouldnt it be easier to find drivers and stuff for LTS? | 22:27 |
| chenthu | JaUg: if u are using linux just for learning abt linux... i think u can choose what ever u want...but if u are using it for a purpose which need constant support and very stable....then i would advice u to choose 10.04 LTS.. | 22:27 |
| magical_walrus | I've already installed Ubuntu 11.04 server and had the installer set up LVM encryption. I want to use a flash drive to decrypt the disk automatically on boot, how can I do this? | 22:27 |
| sabaton | JaUg, i would try mythbuntu | 22:28 |
| LarsTorben | JaUg: no it is okay | 22:28 |
| coz_ | JaUg, I dont know if it would be "easier" to find drivers for LTS | 22:28 |
| LarsTorben | JaUg, 11.04 is good | 22:28 |
| JaUg | ok, i found theese drivers wich should be ok right? http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English | 22:28 |
| coz_ | JaUg, you could also use the mini install iso | 22:28 |
| LarsTorben | Jaug: yo do not need drivers | 22:28 |
| LarsTorben | Jaug: ubuntu propose these78 | 22:29 |
| coz_ | !mini | JaUg | 22:29 |
| ubottu | JaUg: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 22:29 |
| JaUg | i dont have any problems with bandwidth or HHD space | 22:29 |
| coz_ | JaUg, well I generally use the mini regardless,, just my preference | 22:29 |
| sabaton | JaUg, the mythbuntu derivate should give you htpc features out of the box | 22:30 |
| LarsTorben | i would take normal | 22:30 |
| LarsTorben | less problems | 22:30 |
| JaUg | im going to use it as a Media pc (XBMC or Boxee) and Webserver (apache) and storage for all my files wich i want to be able to access from the network | 22:31 |

| krebshack | Where can I find an up to date tutorial on having Ubuntu 11.04 boot into the terminal by default? I've checked the forums, and it seems like there's only information about 10.X or lower, and I haven't found great results on google either. | 23:03 |
| Flannel | synapse: You'll have to upgrade to 10.10 and then from 10.10 to 11.04. There's no way to do it in one shot. | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | synapse, you have to do something (i'm not sure what) to get update manager NOT to only consider LTS releases. Best of luck. | 23:04 |
| HSL | Baph: zykotick9 well, I want to know what the process is that starts after apache during booting,.. | 23:04 |
| synapse | I went from edgy to lucid and it didn't mess up my nvidia at all | 23:04 |
| synapse | so I should be safe, right? | 23:04 |
| zykotick9 | synapse, fresh install probably easier then 3 upgrades | 23:04 |
| wildbat | !boot | krebshack check boot option | 23:04 |
| ubottu | krebshack check boot option: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 23:04 |
| HSL | apache works fine, so that's not the problem | 23:04 |
| synapse | not at all | 23:04 |
| Flannel | synapse: The way you can tell update-manager that you want to follow every release, and not just LTS, is by going to software sources/software properties, there's one of the last two tabs, you can check "LTS" or "Every" | 23:04 |
| synapse | when you have 1TB of custom stuff | 23:04 |
| synapse | heh | 23:04 |
| bluethundr_ | ghost bluethundr oclG30rg3T0wn | 23:05 |
| synapse | I was amazed that it worked without a problem | 23:05 |
| Flannel | synapse: It's only two upgrades, you'll be fine doing them individually. There's no guarantee that jumping random amounts is going to work. | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | Flannel, thanks | 23:05 |
| synapse | gotcha, thanks man | 23:05 |
| Baph | HSL: I'm not sure how upstart determines sequence (I'm on an older version of Ubuntu, and assumed no changes, wrongly) | 23:05 |
| rww | bluethundr_: if that was a password, you probably want to change it :P | 23:05 |
| HSL | Baph: I'm on 10.04LTS | 23:06 |
| grumete | mmmh it's disapointing how my ubuntu gets stucked from time to time, I can't even restart it... it just freeze up. | 23:06 |

| grumete | and I'm not doing anything "stressing" for the computer, just libreoffice documents. | 23:07 |
| === Juo_ is now known as Juo | ||
| bluethundr_ | rww, yep.. | 23:07 |
| grumete | synapse, 15 minutes back, I was using amsn, and that was it. | 23:07 |
| synapse | next time it happens ctrl-alt-f1 and dmesg it | 23:07 |
| szal | grumete: sounds like hardware acting up | 23:07 |
| grumete | dmesg? | 23:07 |
| synapse | yeah, type it to see what is going on | 23:07 |
| Pat201 | how can i find out if im running a 32bit or 64bit version of ubuntu | 23:07 |
| synapse | if its totally frozen, probably hardware relat ed | 23:08 |
| grumete | damn | 23:08 |
| grumete | once in the f1 terminal what could I do to restart it? | 23:08 |
| synapse | I have held uptimes of a year with this | 23:08 |
| synapse | is X11 locking up? | 23:08 |
| szal | Pat201: uname -a <- if it says 'x86_64' it's 64bit, if it says 'i686 i686 i386' it's 32bit | 23:08 |
| synapse | (the window manager) | 23:08 |
| mattimus | would anybody be able to help me with compiling a c program that uses appindicator? | 23:09 |
| Flannel | synapse: Alright, I can't find an image, but if you go to software properties, or software sources (whatever it's called nowadays), you can go to one tab which allows you to cchoose between LTS and every release | 23:09 |
| Flannel | synapse: I'll keep looking if you'd like an actualy image | 23:09 |
| Baph | HSL: do you have a file /etc/init/apache2.conf? | 23:09 |
| synapse | nah, I will upgrade step by step | 23:09 |
| synapse | because its worth trying | 23:09 |
| HSL | Baph: apache is not the problem,.. | 23:09 |
| === bluethundr_ is now known as bluethundr | ||
| HSL | it looks like it's trying to start sabnzbdplus | 23:10 |
| Flannel | synapse: This is to upgrade step by step, otherwise it will ignore 10.10 and wait until 12.04 | 23:10 |
| centr0 | is there a cd flag that allows me to specify how many levels i want to go up instead of '../../../../'? | 23:10 |
| HSL | which is not installed anymore | 23:10 |
| bregma | mattimus, are you having a problem compiling? | 23:10 |
| synapse | when is 12.04 out | 23:10 |
| Baph | HSL: I accept that, but in order to determine what follows apache in the start sequence, we first need to find where apache is in that sequence | 23:10 |
| Flannel | synapse: April (04) of 2012 | 23:10 |
| synapse | oh yeah, I forgot the naming scheme/numbers | 23:10 |
| HSL | Baph: no don't have a /etc/init/apache2.conf | 23:11 |
| Baph | HSL, for example, I just checked the /etc/init/rc.conf on a 10.04 box, and it calls "exec /etc/inid.d/rc $RUNLEVEL" - ie, it's using old rc logic, in addition to the newer upstart method | 23:12 |
| Flannel | synapse: Ah, here we go. On the "Updates" Tab, down at the bottom, there's a dropdown for "Release Upgrade" (see bottom here: http://www.liberiangeek.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/securie_update_mav1_thumb.png) | 23:13 |
| HSL | Baph: I have the same :) | 23:13 |
| HSL | Baph: but I don't have a apache2.conf file in /etc/init/ | 23:13 |
| Baph | HSL, then find all files named S*apache2 within /etc/rc*... that will tell you where apach2 is in startup sequence | 23:14 |
| Baph | *apache2 | 23:14 |
| mASOUD_42 | centr0: i can only think of a bash script | 23:14 |
| centr0 | ahh :( | 23:14 |
| HSL | Baph: is there a fast way to check all the rc* folders? | 23:15 |
| DreamLauncher | anyone here familiar with DeVeDe ? | 23:15 |
| HSL | or is manually the way to go? | 23:16 |
| rannmann | Does ubuntu create a kickstart after install automatically? | 23:16 |
| Baph | HSL: ls /etc/rc* > ~/output ... open in your favourite text editor | 23:16 |
| DreamLauncher | I have some hom movies I am trying to convert into a dvd. but when I convert the avi to dvd an burn it I get wrong type displayed on TV | 23:16 |

| === BobdoB is now known as hftoads | ||
| Baph | grepping won't tell you the folder its in, and you need to know... for each rc folder that S91apache2 exists in, what is the next file starting with an S (mine is S91tomcat6) | 23:17 |
| HSL | Baph: it's in /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, /etc/rc5.d | 23:20 |
| Baph | HSL: in my case, I have S91apache2 in each of those folders, and if you increase the number, the next file I have is S92tomcat6.... whatever yours is when you increase S{num}... is the service that's causing hanging on boot | 23:21 |
| HSL | Baph: in all files the "next" one is S98sabnzbdplus | 23:21 |
| HSL | Baph: I don't have a S92* | 23:21 |
| Baph | HSL: so apache2 starts, but SABnzbPlus doesn't... my money is on SABnzbPlus causing your issue | 23:22 |
