| JZApples | VxQf, how do I find out what drive that is on then? I would like to move it to the same drive as my OS and keep my two RAID arrays strictly for data storage. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| VxQf | You're using ubuntu desktop? | 00:01 |
| fosburg | trying to figure out how to change desktop look and feel. at present there is a bar (top screen) first5 pull down menu is applications. When I installed Ubuntuu, Icons ran down the left side.and had pull down menus. that's what I want on the desktop--any suggestions how to fix? | 00:01 |
| JZApples | VxQf, 11.04, yes. | 00:01 |
| VxQf | Basically, | 00:01 |
| VxQf | Redoing swap partition is... annoying. | 00:01 |
| mengu | hi all. i'm opening my sound manager and i see no input devices there. why is that? | 00:02 |
| VxQf | And I don't recommend it unless you know what you're doing | 00:02 |
| VxQf | And have full backups of everything. | 00:02 |
| VxQf | If you have a few GB of free space on your OS disk you can just add a swap partition there | 00:02 |
| VxQf | But otherwise you'll need to resize | 00:02 |
| VxQf | Which can be dangerous. | 00:02 |
| bastidrazor | mega1_: in a terminal type sudo adduser usernametobeadmin admin | 00:03 |
| VxQf | You should pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l | 00:03 |
| teamcha | hi | 00:03 |
| krazykrivda | my vfat partition is mounted RW but the folder shows a LOCK icon ansd i cannot modify anything in it. even as root.. any suggestions? | 00:03 |
| teamcha | quit | 00:03 |
| JZApples | VxQf, can i resize the partition from live cd? Pastebin coming. Thank you so much for your help. | 00:03 |
| dontworry | Hello, I am having some trouble with my wireless usb stick. I have the proper drivers (from the CD) and I can see all the networks that are available to connect to, but when I try to connect to my home one and enter the passcode, it does not let me connect. I disabled the passcode just to try it out and it did connect. I was wondering why it wouldn't let me connect with a passcode | 00:03 |
| VxQf | Yes but resizing partitions is always dangerous | 00:04 |
| VxQf | Make sure you have full backups of all your data. | 00:04 |
| tzhuang | is anyone here familiar with vpn clients that can help me | 00:04 |
| tzhuang | i'm looking to connect to a remote server from china to bypass the youtube/fb block | 00:04 |
| VxQf | What do you need to know, tzhuang? | 00:05 |
| JZApples | VxQf, http://paste.ubuntu.com/660159/ | 00:06 |
| JZApples | tzhuang, lol nice. stick it to the man. | 00:06 |
| VxQf | IF you're using ubuntu you shouldn't need any vpn "clients" you can get plugins for network manager that will connect to most types of VPN | 00:06 |
| VxQf | IE cisco/openvpn | 00:06 |
| nezeroth | Can someone help me with an Ubuntu question regarding the use of dual monitors on dual (but different manuf) video cards? | 00:07 |
| VxQf | JZApples, swap partition is on SDA5.... | 00:07 |
| usalabs | anyone know how I can stop the nVidia Control panel resolution from always returning back to 'Auto' (1024x768), every time I run an app that changes screen resolution, and I exit the app, the screen always returns back to 1024x768, even though I have changed res to 1152x864 and saved changes to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf | 00:07 |
| qin | tzhuang: You could just try ssh and socks proxy | 00:07 |
| fosburg | trying to figure out how to change desktop look and feel. at present there is a bar (top screen) firsts pull down menu is applications. When I installed Ubuntuu, Icons ran down the left side.and had pull down menus. that's what I want on the desktop--any suggestions how to fix? | 00:08 |
| JZApples | VxQf, Awesome! That is its own partition on my OS disk. | 00:08 |
| VxQf | Right | 00:08 |
| VxQf | Seems odd that it would be mounting that through the mapper thoug. | 00:08 |
| VxQf | Is it just a normal sata disk? | 00:08 |
| bazhang | fosburg, choose unity from the login window | 00:08 |
| tzhuang | VxQf: looking for remote server to connect to on a vpn client that's free | 00:08 |
| mega1_ | How do I list all users | 00:08 |
| tzhuang | VxQf: tired of looking for free proxies with a billion ads | 00:09 |
| tzhuang | qin: where can i get more info? | 00:09 |
| fosburg | ok on the login window | 00:09 |
| VxQf | tzhuang, Not really the place to be asking that to be honest. | 00:09 |
| JZApples | VxQf, it's listed as Unknown in Disk Utility. Yes normal SATA. I also have 4 1tb drives that I'm in the process of setting up software RAID 10 on and an external RAID 10 enclosure with 4 2tb disks. Can you help me setup fstab and mtab? I'm worried I'm going to screw something up. | 00:09 |
| DrekNYC | Mooooooootheeeeeeerr fuckeeeeeeeers :D | 00:09 |
| tzhuang | VxQf: hmmm any idea where i should be looking? | 00:09 |
| krazykrivda | my vfat partition is mounted RW but the folder shows a LOCK icon ansd i cannot modify anything in it. even as root.. any suggestions? | 00:09 |
| VxQf | tzhuang, most free vpn services are terrible and wont let you stream, FYI. | 00:10 |
| qin | tzhuang: man ssh, option -D, http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/12/08/ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-forwarding-secure-browsing/ | 00:10 |
| VxQf | JZApples, Maybe. yse UUIDs | 00:10 |
| VxQf | Oh wait | 00:10 |
| VxQf | Can you even do that with a mapper? | 00:10 |
| VxQf | lol | 00:10 |
| usalabs | tzhuang try installing Tor it's an anonymity proxy service | 00:11 |
| JZApples | VxQf, i was planning on using UUIDs. wouldn't I want to change that to /dev/sda5 in fstab? | 00:11 |
| tzhuang | VxQf, qin: thx for the help i'll look into the link qin posted | 00:11 |
| VxQf | usalabs, tor is not meant for streaming youtube. | 00:11 |
| VxQf | JZApples, no. | 00:12 |
| VxQf | sudo blkid /dev/sda5 | 00:12 |
| VxQf | Will get you the uuid | 00:12 |
| VxQf | and in fstab is appears as uuid="UUID" | 00:12 |
| tzhuang | usalabs: thx | 00:12 |
| VxQf | without quotes | 00:12 |
| JZApples | VxQf, also, if I don't have a floppy drive, can this row be removed from fstab? /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 00:13 |
| VxQf | Speaking of which | 00:13 |
| VxQf | Sure you can get rid of it. | 00:13 |
| JZApples | VxQf, yeah I was planning on using blkid to get UUID of all drives for fstab. | 00:13 |
| nezeroth | Any takers on the dual video card question? | 00:13 |
| JZApples | VxQf, isn't it also weird that my OS partition isn't listed in fstab? I thought that was weird. after taking out the floppy, all i have is the swap in there. | 00:14 |
| bazhang | !details | nezeroth | 00:14 |
| VxQf | nezeroth, that is not fun. | 00:14 |
| ubottu | nezeroth: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:14 |
| vanquish349 | my brother touched my computer yesturday is there a way i can check what he did | 00:14 |
| JZApples | vanquish349, beat the information out of him. | 00:14 |
| vanquish349 | he is 19 i am 14 | 00:15 |
| JZApples | vanquish349, lol. | 00:15 |
| DeamosSeraph | heh | 00:15 |
| VxQf | I don't really have the experience but if you can't use the manufacturer thing like twinview, you'll need to either do sparate x-screens or xinerama... | 00:15 |
| mega1_ | Can anyone tell me how to list all users | 00:15 |
| VxQf | mega1, cat /etc/passwd | 00:15 |
| nezeroth | I am running Ubuntu 11.04 (11.4?) and am running two monitors connected to two different video cards, I can only use my main display but I want to be able to use both cards and extend the desktop, help? | 00:15 |
| VxQf | Or if you want all users currently logged in just type users | 00:16 |
| VxQf | nezeroth, try looking into xinerama? | 00:16 |
| VxQf | IIRC that will do something like what you are after | 00:16 |
| nezeroth | ah, is that what that does? lol, I had a hunch. | 00:16 |
| VxQf | But I don't think it will do it as well as the nvidia/ati software. | 00:16 |
| escott | nezeroth, very hard to do AFAIK. usually you need one X server per video card | 00:16 |
| bazhang | !xrandr > nezeroth | 00:16 |
| ubottu | nezeroth, please see my private message | 00:16 |
| fosburg | <bazhang> fosburg, choose unity from the login window. How do I get to the login window? Sorry for my lack of knowledge | 00:17 |
| vanquish349 | so is there a way i can check what he did | 00:18 |
| wrtiii | Could someone please give me a brief rundown on clonezilla? I have intalled my server, configured static IP, SSH, and used Tasksel for LAMP Server. I added my user to the www-data group and put a quick coming soon html page up via winscp. http://afterlife.dyndns.tv I still need to configure the dns servers or something since I went static IP? but what I want to be able to do is create a | 00:18 |
| wrtiii | mirror image of my server so if I make a mistake somewhere or break something while I start moving into territory that I am not very famillar with I can just back up a step from my backup. | 00:18 |
| bazhang | fosburg, when you start up, the place your username and password is, for you to log in to your system; choose a user, then select from the bottom panel | 00:18 |
| mengu | how do i reduce the noise that i get with the microphone? | 00:18 |
| bazhang | mengu, reduce in alsamixer (in terminal) | 00:19 |
| escott | nezeroth, if it is going to work your xorg.conf will need to be hand edited something like http://www.lukemacneil.com/computer-articles/xorg-conf-for-dual-video-cards-monitors-and-tv-out | 00:19 |
| mengu | which one? mic boost? | 00:19 |
| bazhang | wrtiii, check the clonezilla support forums | 00:19 |
| mASOUD_42 | fosburg : click on the power icon on top right corner, choose logoff. then at the bottom middle there's a drop down list: ubuntu classic, unity, etc. choose unity and then login | 00:19 |
| escott | mengu, the mic boost gain should be lowered | 00:19 |
| fosburg | ok. thank you | 00:20 |
| mengu | thanks escott & bazhang | 00:20 |
| minimec | mengu: disable mic boost (type 'm' for 'mute') | 00:20 |
| krazykrivda | can anyone help me with mounting issues | 00:21 |
| bazhang | krazykrivda, need way more details | 00:21 |
| nezeroth | escott, wow, that seems complicated. I do not feel comfortable with that just yet, in fact I am looking at the link the bot sent me and Im not sure I can do that either. | 00:21 |
| krazykrivda | this is my mount : /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,iocharset=utf8,umask=000) | 00:22 |
| nezeroth | seems I am in for a night of reading, lol | 00:22 |
| escott | krazykrivda, for fat one of the mount options is to set a user to own the files (fat has no concept of file ownership) | 00:22 |
| escott | krazykrivda, you are missing that option | 00:22 |
| carl1408 | I have 9.10 and want to do a distribution upgrade online. How to..? | 00:22 |
| nezeroth | afk one second, need more coffee. | 00:22 |
| krazykrivda | escott: what woudl I declare for EVERYONE to own?> | 00:22 |
| escott | nezeroth, and you only have a hope of this working if both cards are the same manufacturer (preferably identical) | 00:23 |
| escott | krazykrivda, set ownership to nobody and set the mask to give full permissions i guess | 00:23 |
| shorttech | all USB external HS should automount correct? | 00:24 |
| thevaliantx | how can i get my usb device (an android phone) to be recognized? | 00:24 |
| carl1408 | I tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade But didn't work. | 00:24 |
| usalabs | tzhuang PM | 00:24 |
| carl1408 | thevaliantx: It should just come up like a usb device. | 00:24 |
| krazykrivda | escott: i'm not to familiar and have not used permissions/fstab in a while.. can u tell me what to put in | 00:24 |
| escott | thevaliantx, make sure the phone is set to usb mass storage and not charge. its in the phone's settings | 00:24 |
| nezeroth | one card is ati, the other is nvidia, but soon I hope to put my other similar nvidia card in with the SLI, but for now this is the setup I have XP | 00:25 |
| carl1408 | thevaliantx: As escott says and then it should come up just like any other USB storage device. | 00:25 |
| escott | nezeroth, abandon all hope.. thats not going to work | 00:26 |
| nezeroth | escott, I never abandon hope, I just boot windows lol | 00:26 |
| usalabs | anyone know how I can stop the nVidia Control panel resolution from always returning back to 'Auto' (1024x768), every time I run an app that changes screen resolution, and I exit the app, the screen always returns back to 1024x768, even though I have changed res to 1152x864 and saved changes to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf | 00:26 |
| thevaliantx | escott i'm not sure where to find that in the settings. | 00:26 |
| ski_ | hm, is there a way to get `ls -a' to list files starting with `.' separate from other files ? i'm looking through the `man' and `info' pages, but can't seem to find anything relevant -- it says "By default, sorting is done by character code (e.g., ASCII order).", but apparently that is not the case here | 00:27 |
| escott | nezeroth, the two would have completely different opengl library files. you might get things to work in vesa mode but why bother | 00:27 |
| krazykrivda | escott: hwo about this: /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000) | 00:27 |
| nezeroth | escott, I see your point and would tend to agree that this undertaking is quite beyond my abilities. Thank you for the information. | 00:27 |
| thevaliantx | escott the phone says that it is connected via usb, and that usb debugging is connected, yet nothing is showing when i try to find the device in nautilus | 00:28 |
| nezeroth | Oh, I had another question, can Ubuntu run MMO's? | 00:28 |
| escott | krazykrivda, that would seem ok. your normal user would be the main login, and the umask should give full permissions | 00:28 |
| nezeroth | Like Rift or Star Trek Online? | 00:29 |
| krazykrivda | escott: btu it still is NOT working.. even as root i cannot modify files | 00:29 |
| escott | krazykrivda, what are the permissions being reported as? what does ls -l say | 00:29 |
| escott | krazykrivda, also be sure to check the permissions of the mountpoint itself | 00:30 |
| krazykrivda | escott: drwxrwxrwx 42 charlie users 32768 1969-12-31 19:00 FILES | 00:30 |
| bullgard4_ | I reinstalled Ubuntu using the 'ubuntu Server 11.04' CD. When the login screen appears, I cannot move the cursor, and Ctrl+Alt+F1 has no effect. How to fix that? | 00:30 |
| krazykrivda | escott: and moutn command returns : /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000) | 00:30 |
| usalabs | ski_ have you tried piping using grep?, I don't exactly know the regex for grep, but it mught work | 00:30 |
| robinbowes | I'm using indamixx 4.3 which is based on Ubuntu | 00:30 |
| robinbowes | ACtually, it's transmissionOS 4.3, which is based on Ubuntu | 00:31 |
| escott | krazykrivda, what about ls -l /mnt/FILES/* what are the permissions inside are they not rwxrwxrwx? | 00:31 |
| lilcyber | Hey, did Ubuntu ever fix the heat bug in the Linux kernel? | 00:31 |
| robinbowes | I believe it is based on jaunty | 00:31 |
| ski_ | usalabs : how would `grep' help, here ? | 00:31 |
| krazykrivda | mostly directories instide.. but here is 1 file directly at /mnt/FILES/* | 00:31 |
| krazykrivda | -rwxrwxrwx 1 charlie users 179 2010-05-08 14:10 examples.desktop | 00:31 |
| robinbowes | I need to install a driver for my wireless card | 00:32 |
| usalabs | ski_ ls -a | grep {regex} to show only . files | 00:32 |
| escott | thevaliantx, its not debugging mode. when you first plugin the usb cord it should put a notification at the top of the phone. click on that notification should allow you to change the usb connection mode to usb mass storage (which will unmount the sdhc card on the phone and export it to your computer) | 00:32 |
| nezeroth | Oh, does Ubuntu have a way for me to see my core temps on my processor and other stuff like that? | 00:32 |
| ski_ | usalabs : i'm attempting to get back the behaviour i know i had with `ls' before, so it should apply to `ls -a', `ls -al', &c. | 00:32 |
| centr0 | how do i key bind a script? | 00:32 |
| robinbowes | According to: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download I can simply use: | 00:32 |
| robinbowes | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty | 00:32 |
| krazykrivda | escott: even sudo mv/cp etc.. return read-only file system | 00:32 |
| rww | !lm-sensors | ski_ | 00:32 |
| ubottu | ski_: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 00:32 |
| rww | erm, wrong person. | 00:32 |
| usalabs | ski_ oh, sorry misunderstanding :( | 00:32 |
| rww | nezeroth: ^^^^ | 00:32 |
| thune3 | ski_: -d option ls -ad .* ? | 00:32 |
| lilcyber | @ nezeroth it does, just go to the byobu terminal | 00:32 |
| escott | krazykrivda, and you can't "touch /mnt/FILES/testfile.txt" | 00:32 |
| bregma | _ski: LANG=C ls -la | 00:32 |
| robinbowes | But, I'm guessing that I would need to add the jaunty repos to get that package? | 00:33 |
| bregma | _ski the problem is the default locale in your login session | 00:33 |
| escott | !info sensors | nezeroth | 00:33 |
| ubottu | nezeroth: Package sensors does not exist in natty | 00:33 |
| lilcyber | @nezroth it is in Celsius though | 00:33 |
| krazykrivda | escott: nope :-\ | 00:33 |
| krazykrivda | charlie@Charlie-Ubuntu:/mnt/FILES/Videos/Full Length$ touch /mnt/FILES/test touch: cannot touch `/mnt/FILES/test': Read-only file system\ | 00:33 |
| ski_ | thune3 : i want all files, just "sorting is done by character code" which the `info' page claims, but which actually doesn't happen | 00:33 |
| krazykrivda | escott: and sudo touch.. returns the same | 00:34 |
| escott | krazykrivda, thats really weird. what kind of media is this? usb, cd or what | 00:34 |
| nezeroth | rww, lilcyber, escott, I am not sure how to use either of those, sorry, could you tell me again like I was 5 ^.^ | 00:34 |
| bregma | ski_, sorting is done according to te rules defined in the LC_COLLATE locale | 00:34 |
| ski_ | since the default behaviour has changed, i'm assuming there's an option to get the old behaviour, but i don't know what it is | 00:34 |
| krazykrivda | escott: this is simply a partition on my hardrive.. ahd been working using fstab for months then 1 day.. it doesn't | 00:34 |
| rww | nezeroth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto has instructions. | 00:34 |
| lilcyber | @nezroth ok, which ubuntu do you have? | 00:34 |
| linuxman567 | Hey! | 00:34 |
| lilcyber | Hey linuxman567 | 00:35 |
| nezeroth | lilcyber, 11.04 or 11.4 something like that | 00:35 |
| ski_ | bregma : ty. would you happend to know where i would look for info on that ? | 00:35 |
| nezeroth | the new one | 00:35 |
| OvermindDL1 | I am trying to get a USB microphone to forward through the sound system so it comes out the primary speakers in Kubuntu, but I can find no way to do so, is there a way and if so then how? | 00:35 |
| bregma | ski_, start with man locale | 00:35 |
| OvermindDL1 | 11.04 | 00:35 |
| kevin_ | hello | 00:35 |

| nezeroth | thank you OvermindDL1 | 00:36 |
| lilcyber | nezoth Ok go to the top left at the ubuntu logo click it and type in byobu terminal and click on it, the temp will be in C, also Is this related to the cpu heat? | 00:36 |
| lilcyber | *bug | 00:36 |

| etass | hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho) and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also, | 00:36 |
| etass | what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question | 00:36 |
| bregma | ski_, you can just set LANG or LC_ALL in your .profile | 00:36 |
| krazykrivda | escott: are you out of ideas as well? | 00:36 |
| qin | ski_: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/22464-ls-output-order.html something to do with locale, or: for i in `ls -a` ; do echo $i | grep "^\."; done; ls -1 | 00:36 |
| thune3 | ski_: ls -av ? | 00:37 |
| nezeroth | lilcyber, installing now. | 00:37 |
| lilcyber | Ah you didn't have it before? | 00:38 |
| === hacked is now known as vinces | ||
| nezeroth | lilcyber, no but I do now, I installed it from the native terminal | 00:38 |
| ski_ | qin : wouldn't that snippet only print dot-files ? | 00:39 |
| lilcyber | nezroth: Good, open it up and look at the bottom of the terminal. It should have in yellow the cpu temp | 00:39 |
| qin | ski_: thune3 ismore elegant with -v | 00:39 |
| ski_ | thune3 : "-v natural sort of (version) numbers within text" -- i'm unsure of what all the implications of using this flag is .. | 00:39 |
| nezeroth | are you sure thats not voltage, lilcyber? | 00:40 |
| lilcyber | I am sure, I have checked. | 00:40 |
| nezeroth | kk, thank you | 00:40 |
| escott | krazykrivda, the permissions say it should work. im not clear on why it wouldnt | 00:40 |
| lilcyber | nezeroth Your welcome. | 00:40 |
| nezeroth | lilcyber, what else can I do in this byobu terminal? | 00:41 |
| bregma | ski_, ls -v will sort 6 befoe 18 | 00:41 |
| krazykrivda | escott: ok.. wel thank you for ur help.. i swear everything was fine and working 1 day.. then the next.. ntohign worked.. and fstab was not changed | 00:41 |
| lilcyber | nezroth well if you hit F9 while in that terminal you can see the gadgets you can see, and the same exact thing you do in native terminal | 00:42 |
| nezeroth | lilcyber, so its just an updated/different native terminal from the one that comes with Ubuntu? | 00:42 |
| usalabs | ski_ the behavior of ls is determined in the .bashrc file in a user directory | 00:42 |
| etass | hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho) and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also, | 00:43 |

| lilcyber | nezeroth yes it is a the same terminal just a different look. | 00:43 |
| nezeroth | lilcyber, cool beans...you know of any good games I can play on this thing? | 00:43 |
| omeromer | I broke my unity profile on compiz... can anyone please send me the default unity profile? | 00:43 |
| lilcyber | nezeroth Actually I was just looking at them, private chat and we will talk, as so not to disturb the other people that need help | 00:44 |
| xangua | omeromer: you mean¿¿: unty --reset | 00:44 |
| xangua | unity --reset * | 00:44 |
| omeromer | it didn't help | 00:44 |
| omeromer | I'm still missing the top bar and everything is just broken | 00:44 |
| omeromer | I tried all commands recommended on the internet none worked | 00:45 |
| omeromer | this is freaking me out I hope I can fix this | 00:45 |
| bregma | ski_, try "info coreutils ;ls invocation'" for a detailed description of ls options and how to control them | 00:45 |
| lilcyber | omeromer I think you need to reinstall ubuntu | 00:45 |
| omeromer | is that for sure? | 00:45 |
| omeromer | no other way? | 00:46 |
| lilcyber | omeromer: I am not sure, but I doubt it. Well when you log in you can switch from ubuntu to ubuntu classic to see if that works. | 00:46 |
| omeromer | brb I'm doing a reset | 00:47 |
| omeromer2 | lilcyber | 00:49 |
| omeromer2 | when I turn on the PC | 00:49 |
| omeromer2 | it doesn't even ask me to choose a user | 00:49 |
| omeromer2 | it just instantly logs on as the only existing user | 00:49 |
| lilcyber | ok then log out, or switch users (top left power button) | 00:49 |
| ski_ | bregma : yeah, i already did that :) | 00:49 |
| lilcyber | Then try | 00:50 |
| omeromer2 | well | 00:50 |
| omeromer2 | I don't have a top left power button | 00:50 |
| omeromer2 | I don't have anything | 00:50 |
| lilcyber | Ah hmm..... you have terminal? | 00:50 |
| omeromer2 | yes | 00:50 |
| etass | hi all, i hope this doesnt go off topic, i think i accidentally did something "risky", i opened a website supposedly filled with spyware and browser exploit (only the latter being a threat i hope), the situation is 32 bit 11.04 ubuntu, apparmor on (firefox default) javascript (strict) on (blocked by noscript tho) and images on, now i happen to see that that site may potentially harm my pc , is there any way to see if it happened or should i be worried? also, | 00:50 |
| etass | what protection does apparmor's default firefox profile offer? thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question | 00:50 |
| ski_ | usalabs : well, i doubt that, since i'm using `tcsh', not `bash' | 00:50 |
| lilcyber | omeromer2 hold on | 00:50 |
| minimec | omeromer2: Try 'metacity --replace' in that terminal. That should swich the session to 'ubuntu classic'. I think that should give you a top and bottom panel. | 00:52 |
| usalabs | ski_ have you tried ls -alF | 00:52 |
| ski_ | usalabs : alias ls ls -aFl | 00:52 |
| minimec | omeromer2: metacity --replace will change the window-manager from unity (compiz) to the old gnome metacity window manager. | 00:53 |
| minimec | omeromer2: Only for the current session ;) | 00:53 |
| omeromer2 | minimec I've tried that | 00:54 |
| omeromer2 | it only gives me window title bars back | 00:54 |
| minimec | omeromer2: but you don have a panel... try gnome-panel in terminal after having swiched to metycity. | 00:55 |
| omeromer2 | kk sec | 00:55 |
| usalabs | ski_ I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for but using under tcsh have you tried alias % \ls which should return ls to default | 00:56 |
| omeromer2 | wow great I got the gnome panel | 00:56 |

| ski_ | usalabs : i can assure you the problem is not about using `alias' or about using `tcsh' instead of `bash' | 01:00 |
| thevaliantx | escott: i really appreciate the help. i wish there were a Linux app designed specifically for Android for the purposes of transferring file (ie, photos, MUSIC) to the Android and vice versa. ironic given that Android runs on a Linux kernel. | 01:01 |

| mmcji | wireless works fine and the eth0 interface is detected fine wit the live cd as well | 01:07 |
| mmcji | but when I install ubuntu, the ethernet interface does not work | 01:07 |
| thune3 | Omni|Work: apt-file (needs package apt-file) will allow you to find what package a file would belong to, then you could install the package. | 01:09 |

| MXIIA | a friend of mine says that ubuntu suddenly stopped accepting keyboard/mouse input, then upon reboot he goes into a bootloop, any ideas? | 01:13 |
| mmcji | as long as you were not logged in as root, the chances of anything happening in linux are very very remote | 01:13 |
| etass | mmcji: so you say i shouldnt worry even if that site is actively used to spread malware? (i can link you it and its wot rate if u like) | 01:13 |
| willwh | MXIIA: is the disk encrypted? | 01:13 |
| willwh | or maybe just fubar? :P | 01:13 |
| mmcji | sure send me the link | 01:13 |
| bullgard4_ | I reinstalled Ubuntu using the 'ubuntu Server 11.04' CD. Now I cannot login neither as a normal first user on the classical GNOME login screen nor on a virtual console probably because the keyboard layout setting is wrong. I can login as a second user though. How to fix this? | 01:13 |
| MXIIA | willwh, not that I'm aware of. | 01:13 |
| willwh | have you tried booting from a liveCD? | 01:14 |
| willwh | and mounting the disk? | 01:14 |
| mmcji | windows would be a different story | 01:14 |
| MXIIA | I'll suggest that. | 01:14 |
| mmcji | etass: what is hte link? | 01:15 |
| lenshark | hi guys. i'm browsing into a site which asks for a captcha input, but then the image is not shown. firebugged it and saw the image is restricted from me.. and have this message by google: "Unusual traffic from your computer network" | 01:15 |
| etass | mmcji: did i send it via pm? | 01:15 |
| mmcji | i didn't see it. your not sending me to a naughty site are you? | 01:15 |
| mina2 | hello | 01:15 |
| mmcji | lol | 01:16 |
| lenshark | is there a tool in ubuntu i can use to detect what queries my ip is sending, something like that ? | 01:16 |
| etass | sent it | 01:16 |
| lenshark | the issue is here: http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?&&answer=86640 | 01:16 |
| willwh | lenshark: netstat | 01:16 |
| etass | mmcji: i pm'd it im not sure we're allowed to share such links (non ubuntu related) | 01:16 |

| marian_ | hi all | 01:17 |
| MXIIA | willwh, what would you suggest I do after I get the LiveCD to boot? | 01:17 |
| lilcyber | MXIIA install it | 01:18 |
| willwh | MXIIA: no, don't do that | 01:18 |
| willwh | just try mounting the hard disk | 01:18 |
| MXIIA | :P lilcyber do you know what the problem is | 01:18 |
| mina2 | hello has anyone been successful in using a nokia 3g phone as a modem in ubuntu 10.10? | 01:18 |
| MXIIA | willwh, what would that have to do with keyboard/mouse input? | 01:18 |
| willwh | then I would probably take a look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog | 01:18 |
| lilcyber | MXIIA no, and sorry haha. | 01:18 |
| lenshark | willwh, i run iftop and got this: "pcap_open_live(eth1): socket: Operation not permitted" | 01:18 |
| willwh | lenshark: sudo iftop ;) | 01:19 |
| MXIIA | willwh, alright. | 01:19 |
| willwh | MXIIA: remember it will be those logs on the mounted disk - not the LiveCD fs :) | 01:19 |
| mina2 | i addedd the phone (paired it via bluetooth) selected the use phone as a modem and ran a configuration program (gave the apn and phone number) but it doesn't connect | 01:19 |
| duan | how uesing liux | 01:19 |
| MXIIA | willwh, of course :P | 01:20 |
| lenshark | cool, thanks willwh | 01:20 |
| willwh | np :) | 01:21 |
| lenshark | so i believe that the second column are the sites that my ip is connecting into, right willwh because there are a ton of it right now | 01:21 |

| KOVU | ok | 01:47 |

| Asahina | wow, it worked | 01:49 |
| mulder__ | Thank you Kovu | 01:49 |
| Asahina | I just wished I could change the login box too | 01:49 |
| KOVU | i use a "046d:08d9 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect" on ubuntu 9.04 amd64. the webcam just shows garbage while testing and simply shows nothing in calls. a workaround is to move /usr/bin/skype to /usr/bin/skype.real install lib32v4l-0 via apt-get and create a new /usr/bin/skype with the following content: #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real after that the webcam works. | 01:49 |
| KOVU | #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype.real if you paste that in terminal it should fix it | 01:50 |
| mulder__ | Basically if I go into options/video devices and click on the back window with test in it, nothing shows us | 01:50 |
| mulder__ | the select webcam shows: USB camera etc...though | 01:51 |
| KOVU | have you updated your skype | 01:51 |
| mulder__ | I have the version from synaptic | 01:51 |
| mulder__ | 2.2.0.35 | 01:52 |
| mulder__ | the window is still black showing nothing Kovu :-( | 01:53 |
| KOVU | hmm | 01:53 |
| KOVU | im out of ideas anyone else have an idea how to fix the problem | 01:54 |
| mASOUD_42 | cheese webcam. test if it webcam works. if so somethings wrong with skype | 01:55 |
| mulder__ | This is driving bananas man I don't know what to do and I don't want to use windows! | 01:55 |
| lilcyber | mulder__ what's wrong? | 01:56 |
| mulder__ | Hello Lil. I don't have any video showing in skype 2.2.0.35 | 01:56 |
| mulder__ | Well I have video showing in cheese. | 01:57 |
| lilcyber | Upgrade to the newest one(beta). Video works with it. | 01:57 |
| mulder__ | I have version 2.2.0.35 is that not the latest on ubuntu? | 01:57 |
| lilcyber | Nope. | 01:58 |

| scottamunga | w3bcrawler: yes. I've already set up my wife's computer to access files in Windows, but I can't figure out the reverse. I entered what I thought was her username and password, but Ubuntu didn't accept them. | 02:06 |
| w3bcrawler | sure, whatever floats your boat. | 02:06 |
| w3bcrawler | i just use openssh and winSCP to save myself the headache of networking with samba | 02:06 |
| th0r | mulder__: paste that entire thing into a text file. Call it 'fixed-skype'. then make the file executable (in a terminal type 'chmod a+x fixed-skype' | 02:07 |
| th0r | mulder__: then copy it to /usr/local/bin (terminal again....sudo cp fixed-skype /usr/local/bin) | 02:07 |
| mulder__ | text file=text editor? | 02:07 |
| madprops | where can I access inittab to check what runlevel i have as default? | 02:07 |
| th0r | mulder__: right...just copy and paste from your web browser to gedit or some such editor | 02:08 |
| w3bcrawler | scottamunga: have you tried creating a separate username/password on the windows machine | 02:09 |
| canonin | Heya! | 02:09 |
| scottamunga | w3bcrawler: The only account is her admin account, which she runs from. | 02:09 |
| scottamunga | not very safe probably | 02:09 |
| NiCoLaS | How do I kill Update Manage (which is frozen) safely | 02:10 |
| w3bcrawler | scottamunga: perhaps you should try setting up a guest account and try with those credentials | 02:10 |
| NiCoLaS | "sync; sudo pkill [update manager pid]"? | 02:10 |
| w3bcrawler | NiCoLaS: alt-f2, type in xkill, type enter, and click on the frozen window. | 02:10 |
| scottamunga | w3bcrawler: I found that in Control Panel right as you said that. Creepy. :) | 02:11 |
| scottamunga | I'll try it | 02:11 |
| mulder__ | @thor: Not sure why but I have this when I put it in the terminal: sudo cp fixed-skype /usr/local/bin | 02:11 |
| mulder__ | cp: cannot stat `fixed-skype': No such file or directory | 02:11 |
| === root is now known as Guest69734 | ||

| NiCoLaS | w3bcrawler: Neat, I didn't know xkill existed. | 02:11 |
| w3bcrawler | NiCoLaS: :) | 02:11 |
| scottamunga | alright | 02:11 |
| NiCoLaS | Thanks. | 02:11 |

| coz_ | ddw_music, did you try the #grub channel ? not to push you away , however if no one can help who is online at the moment,, try either # grub or ## linux | 02:16 |
| ddw_music | ok | 02:17 |
| ddw_music | in the meantime i found a webpage that may help | 02:17 |

| wildbat | owen1: freenx is nice and fast too but not then same session. | 02:23 |
| mulder__ | even the microphone shows PulseAudio server (local) but that should be the webcam instead right? | 02:23 |

| elthlan | just paste this in Terminal: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype | 02:33 |

| bazhang | goddard, to accomplish what exactly | 02:58 |
| goddard | bazhang: huh? | 02:58 |
| owen1 | wildbat: i think the problem was a password. trying again | 02:58 |
| rww | goddard: chmod +x file. If that doesn't work, check that it's the right architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit) | 02:58 |
| goddard | bazhang: i have a file that exists but cant execute because it says it doesn't exist | 02:58 |
| owen1 | wildbat: after i run 'x11vnc -storepasswd' it's not running anymore...not sure why | 02:58 |
| resc_user_3319 | wildbat: i installed ubuntu alongside win7, accidently deleted linux partition from windows, now i cant get anything to fuly boot | 02:58 |

| wildbat | resc_user_3319: so you deleted a partition ?~ try undelete it ~ with testdisk . if not working pop in windows setup CD and fixmbr ,so you have atleast a windows to use . then figure out reinstall ubuntu later. | 03:00 |
| wildbat | owen1: if you use ssh tunnelling~ you don't need passworded vnc , vnc password is never been safe anyway . | 03:02 |
| Miram | Where do people normally extract and install tarballs in Ubuntu? | 03:02 |
| resc_user_3319 | wildbat: ill try testdisk, but i will not have a win7 recovery disk for "8-10" business days | 03:02 |
| owen1 | wildbat: even without a password it's not working. i give it an ip (without the port,right?) | 03:02 |
| Redb3ard | miram in terminal | 03:03 |
| Miram | Sorry, I mean to what directory, Redb3ard. | 03:03 |
| bazhang | Miram, what application | 03:04 |
| w3bcrawler | is the only way to add a command to bootup creating a perl script and dropping it in the /etc/init.d directory? | 03:04 |
| wildbat | owen1: on server : x11vnc -display :0 -many -localhost then on client create a ssh tunnel 5900 to 5900 then just vncviewer localhost | 03:04 |
| Redb3ard | Miram, if you're installing a program it will usually create it's own directories | 03:04 |
| Miram | Some task-manager application, guys | 03:04 |
| owen1 | wildbat: ok. trying | 03:04 |
| bazhang | Miram, whats the package name please | 03:04 |
| wildbat | owen1: if you just different port other then 5900 you have to tell it | 03:04 |

| anxiety | sexybobo, that'l restart your xserver and hopefully load the nvidia driver | 03:27 |
| lilcyber | Well can you cd into it and purge those files? | 03:27 |
| adzy | anyone know why i get key ring password prompts 3 times everytime i load ubuntu??? cant i set it up to just enter one password> | 03:27 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: Err, wrong | 03:27 |
| adzy | ? | 03:27 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: Not ~, rather /home/your-username | 03:27 |
| wildbat | resc_user_3319: you have to have LiveCD, then make the partition (maybe /boot is needed in case of dual boot), then install grub | 03:27 |
| w3bcrawler | theadmin: so @reboot rm -r /home/myusername/.cache/sessions/* | 03:28 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: Pretty much so | 03:28 |
| w3bcrawler | appended to the end of /etc/contab | 03:28 |
| adzy | !keyring password | 03:28 |
| w3bcrawler | crontab* | 03:28 |
| xangua | adzy: automatic log in enabled¿ | 03:28 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: Yeah, it'll execute the command at start of anacrond | 03:28 |
| adzy | xangua, in users? | 03:29 |
| w3bcrawler | theadmin: excellent, thank you, i'm gonna give that a shot. <3 | 03:29 |
| bobo | Still says driver not active | 03:29 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: xD | 03:29 |
| wildbat | resc_user_3319: or you can have your bootCD's grub to chainload windows up ~then execute fixmbr or bootsect to fix booting of windows. | 03:29 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: No problem. | 03:29 |
| WXZ | how come gparted can't create a logical ntfs partition? | 03:29 |
| === bobo is now known as SexyBoBo | ||
| adzy | where do i change automatic log in? | 03:30 |
| lilcyber | adzy login screen I presume | 03:30 |
| WXZ | within an extended partition | 03:30 |
| theadmin | WXZ: Sure you have ntfsprogs installed? | 03:30 |
| anxiety | sexybobo, can you type sudo apt-get install mesa-utils, then glxgears, it'll test whether you have 3d accelleration from the nvidia driver or not | 03:30 |
| adzy | lilcyber, I dont have a log ing screen it just auto log ins | 03:30 |
| owen1 | wildbat: something weird happens after i tunnel. i see greeting that tells me i am on the server, but the prompt is showing the client username, and it actually not on the server. is that normal? | 03:30 |
| xangua | adzy: on user & group preferences | 03:31 |
| WXZ | theadmin: no, I don't... I have ntfs-3g. I thought that was enough | 03:31 |
| adzy | found it | 03:31 |
| seclm193 | how would i auto mount my ntfs partition in natty? | 03:31 |
| adzy | ;) | 03:31 |
| WXZ | theadmin: fixing now | 03:31 |
| wildbat | owen1: oh ~ drop then -n option (i copy directly from my script ;p) | 03:31 |
| owen1 | wildbat: ok | 03:31 |

| goku87 | how can i sync an htc evo with ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| theadmin | seclm193: In /etc/crontab, "/dev/sdz1 /media/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults" | 03:32 |
| wildbat | resc_user_3319: you have LIVECD? boot it and hold shift you should see grub menu | 03:32 |
| theadmin | seclm193: Err | 03:32 |
| theadmin | seclm193: /etc/fstab | 03:32 |

| nightcrawler99 | no live cd | 03:32 |
| xangua | goku87: sync what exactyl¿ an android device normaly Syncs with your google account & services | 03:33 |
| seclm193 | theadmin: it's ok, so i just edit my /etc/fstab and add the device location and mount locaton | 03:33 |
| princej88 | nightcrawler99, try xkill -all in terminal. your cursor will turn into an 'x' and then you can just click on the program that you want to close | 03:33 |
| goku87 | yea but im trying to sync the music playlists and all that..also trying to back it up | 03:33 |
| nightcrawler99 | ok | 03:34 |
| resc_user_3319 | wildbat:when i boot ubuntu 11.04 live and shift i get run live, install, memtest etc. how to i get to grub | 03:34 |
| goku87 | i have a macbook and htc's are not compatible with os x | 03:34 |
| seclm193 | theadmin: i guess my main question, do i just add that to the end of the file? | 03:34 |
| anxiety | or better idea sexybobo, once you've got that package installed, just run glxinfo what do you get back? | 03:34 |
| WarOp | Does anyone know a good program to rip a Dvd to iso image, trying to rip Backtrack4 dvd to harddrive, I've tried dvdrip but seems like its only for video dvds | 03:34 |
| SexyBoBo | 34167 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6833.385 FPS guessing the driver is just lying to me | 03:34 |
| bitplane | there's a command line app "quote", but it doesn't show up in "which quote" any idea how i find out what/where it is? | 03:34 |
| owen1 | wildbat: i get: vncviewer: unable to open display "" | 03:34 |
| owen1 | wildbat: btw, my server is running with awesome wm. no gnome/kde/xfce | 03:35 |
| anxiety | warop ubuntu has a built in cd copying program, use that but tell it to write to file instead of another disk | 03:35 |
| wildbat | resc_user_3319: it is grub :> ~ you can press c to drop to grub prompt | 03:35 |
| nightcrawler99 | thanks for the help everyone | 03:35 |
| WarOp | Is it k3b | 03:35 |
| seclm193 | theadmin: how do i fine what partition is the ntfs partition | 03:35 |
| resc_user_3319 | wildbat; thanks | 03:35 |
| csdserver | sudo fdisk -l | 03:35 |
| csdserver | @ seclm193 | 03:36 |
| WarOp | I'll check out my burners and see if they have a option for that | 03:36 |
| WarOp | main one i use is k3b | 03:36 |
| WarOp | Thanks anxiety | 03:36 |
| wildbat | owen1: it shouldn't have anything to do with WM ~ | 03:36 |
| seclm193 | csdserver: thx | 03:37 |
| SexyBoBo | anxiety, The glxinfo gives me a whole lot of stuff but keeps mentioning nvidia and the glxgears was giving me 6833 fps i am guessing the additional driver app is just incorrect | 03:37 |
| anastasis | Does anyone know a room where I can get help with SSH. I am trying to setup SSH between an Ubuntu 11.04 laptop to a Slackware 2.6.37.6. | 03:37 |
| anastasis | No one is in any of the rooms | 03:37 |
| anxiety | sexybobo, yea it seems like everythings working | 03:37 |
| goku87 | how do i turn on the launcher menu? | 03:37 |
| wildbat | resc_user_3319: you know how to chainload from here,right or you need a walkthru? | 03:37 |
| KingFisher | Hello...I am using Ubuntu on an Asus Netbook. | 03:38 |
| SexyBoBo | TY for your help that mesa tool package looks like it will be helpful in diagnosing future problems | 03:38 |
| seclm193 | csdserver: after changing fstab, do i need to do something to enact the changes | 03:38 |
| anxiety | sexybobo, yea it can be quite useful :) | 03:38 |
| anastasis | Does anyone know a room where I can get help with SSH. I am trying to setup SSH between an Ubuntu 11.04 laptop to a Slackware 2.6.37.6. | 03:38 |
| w3bcrawler | theadmin: it's still saving the session :O | 03:39 |
| wrtiii | I am going to add a 2nd 160gb hdd to my server to be used for keeping a current clone of the 1st disk. Is there anything I should be aware of before shutting down and installing the new disk. Does it work more or less like "plug and play" or will I have to do some fancy linux stuff to get it setup? | 03:39 |
| anxiety | when im using wired internet I cant load any webpages in browsers or connect to msn facebook etc via pidgin, however I can connect to q3 engine based game servers fine, and pinging servers works fine. everything works fine using wireless. anyone have any how i can get wired to work properly? | 03:39 |
| owen1 | wildbat: in the vnc log i see: The VNC desktop is: localhost:1 PORT=5901 | 03:39 |
| owen1 | wildbat: not sure why it's 5901 | 03:40 |
| javier | downloaded ati catalyst, and the desktop is too big still. can't see the cairo dock or the menu bar. how do i resize | 03:40 |
| WarOp | anxiety: Figured it out, the way you told me Thanks didnt know burners could do that :) | 03:40 |
| aroman | javier: have you opened up the Monitors app and changed the resolution? | 03:40 |
| KingFisher | when I boot up on my Netbook using Ubuntu I get generic messages like "Problem on page table 1" and some stuff about the battery. | 03:40 |
| anxiety | np warop :) | 03:41 |
| KingFisher | I am having battery issues on my Ubuntu netbook and I cant use the netbook with the battery anymore | 03:41 |
| KingFisher | Is this something inherent wrong with my software/battery | 03:41 |
| javier | resolution is correct at 1920x1080. its the size is too big | 03:41 |
| wildbat | owen1: you start the vnc twice may be . killall x11vnc | 03:41 |
| KingFisher | or is it something I can fix with a fresh install | 03:41 |
| aroman | javier: "the size"? | 03:41 |
| anastasis | KingFisher: lookup power regression issue with Ubuntu...although your problem sounds serious | 03:41 |
| javier | it was recognized as a 72 inch display, its really a 65 inch | 03:42 |
| KingFisher | Thanks for pointing me in the right direction anastasis | 03:42 |
| joint2k | does ubuntu need a boot partition? | 03:43 |
| rww | joint2k: no | 03:43 |
| aroman | joint2k: not a discrete one, no. | 03:43 |
| csdserver | sorry seclm193 - i'm not sure what you were trying to do | 03:43 |
| seclm193 | csdserver: auto mount ntfs partitions | 03:43 |
| joint2k | why not? | 03:44 |
| Redb3ard | every time i boot up my computer (with reFit) it still loads the grub bootloader and i have to select ubuntu again.. any way to stop this? | 03:44 |
| javier | dropped resolution to 1776x1000, and its a little too small. my windows 7 on the same machine uses 1920x1080 and i can see the whole desktop | 03:44 |
| vanquish349 | i think my brother has put some software on my computer that lets him take control of my computer is there a way to check it and possibly remove it | 03:45 |
| javier | whats the best way to correct? | 03:45 |
| csdserver | just chown the directory's mount point, create the directory if you haven't, and reboot. who was helping you before? | 03:45 |
| Redb3ard | javier, i have the same problem. i run mine at 1920x1080 and the loss is really frustrating | 03:45 |
| Romin | Hi guys. I have g++ installed and trying to compile a simple c++ program, yet the terminal acts as if I do not have g++. | 03:46 |
| Romin | Can anybody help? | 03:46 |
| vanquish349 | what is zeitgeist | 03:46 |
| Romin | Running ubuntu 11.04. | 03:46 |
| theadmin | Romin: Is g++ in your $PATH? | 03:46 |
| aroman | Romin: "it acts like it"? | 03:46 |
| javier | is there a config or something that can be change to like 1900x1060 | 03:46 |
| owen1 | wildbat: you were right. now it's running on 5900 and localhost:0. i still get the same message: vncviewer: unable to open display "" | 03:46 |
| owen1 | wildbat: is there any log i can tail? | 03:46 |
| aroman | vanquish349: an software program that tracks your activity | 03:46 |
| rww | vanquish349: a program included in Ubuntu that keeps track of which files and programs are used and uses that information when you're searching for things in Unity. | 03:46 |
| aroman | vanquish349: not for malicious purposes though | 03:46 |
| vanquish349 | ok | 03:46 |
| Redb3ard | aroman, yet lol | 03:47 |
| aroman | Redb3ard: :P | 03:47 |
| javier | is there a known issue with using ubuntu on widescreen tvs | 03:47 |
| csdserver | they look awesome? | 03:47 |
| wildbat | owen1: you start the vncveiwer from client not inside the ssh ~ | 03:47 |
| Romin | theadmin: how can I check? | 03:47 |
| owen1 | wildbat: oh | 03:47 |
| theadmin | Romin: Well, how did you install g++? | 03:47 |
| === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ | ||
| Redb3ard | Javier,, i don't know. i absolutely love mu ubuntu gui on my big screen but not being able to see the window ctrls at the top and bottoms of the screen is freustrating | 03:48 |
| Romin | sudo apt-get install g++ | 03:48 |
| owen1 | wildbat: works! thank you | 03:48 |
| theadmin | Romin: Well that's odd then | 03:48 |
| wildbat | owen1: ^^ | 03:49 |
| theadmin | Romin: Try "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 03:49 |
| Romin | Yes, I already installed that as well | 03:49 |
| aroman | theadmin: maybe he's running into trouble since g++ needs to be escaped? | 03:49 |
| aroman | the command I mean | 03:49 |
| theadmin | aroman: + is not a special character in Bash | 03:49 |
| aroman | it isn't? | 03:49 |
| rww | nope | 03:49 |
| aroman | O.o | 03:49 |
| javier | agreed. thats why i am looking for a config file or some other way to change the monitor size. before i installed ati the system said the display was a 72 inch tv. its not and that is what i believe is causing the issue | 03:49 |
| Romin | build-essential is already the newest version. | 03:49 |
| anxiety | romin, what do you get back at the command line if you type g++ --help ? | 03:50 |
| aroman | Oh I just learned something new about bash. I didn't realize you could escape ANY character. (i.e /s/u/d/o) | 03:50 |
| theadmin | aroman: The following are: | & ; ( ) < > space tab || && ;; | newline ! case do done elif else esac fi for function if in select then until while {} time [[ ]] | 03:50 |
| Romin | The same message I get when I try to compile a .cpp: The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages: *g++ *pentium-builder | 03:50 |
| aroman | Romin: sudo dpkg -s g++ ? | 03:51 |
| wildbat | owen1: ssh and vnc are the best remote tools ^^ ~you don't even have to start vnc-server from server, you can start x11vnc from the ssh then just connect with vncviewer :> | 03:51 |
| Redb3ard | theadmin, they are what? | 03:51 |
| aroman | Romin: s`udo dpkg -s g++ | grep -i status` would be what | 03:51 |
| aroman | Redb3ard: characters that need escaping in BASH | 03:51 |
| Romin | http://pastebin.com/rbNLPR5n | 03:51 |
| theadmin | aroman: Bash special words / operators, yeah | 03:52 |
| aroman | Romin: that's really odd | 03:52 |
| Redb3ard | i'm sorry, what is escaping? | 03:52 |
| aroman | Redb3ard: basically just a way of telling something that you mean to use the non-special form of the character. | 03:52 |
| aroman | because those characters mean special things to bash | 03:52 |
| Redb3ard | gotcha | 03:52 |
| Romin | I had the same problem for gcc and somebody resolved my problem. The person fixed my gcc problem with this command: sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.5 /usr/bin/gcc | 03:53 |
| aroman | Romin: O.o it's doubly strange that you've had this issue before | 03:53 |
| anxiety | have you tried: sudo rm /usr/bin/g++ && sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.5 /usr/bin/g++ then? | 03:53 |
| Romin | I actually just transitioned from windows to linux. | 03:54 |
| endip | Since network manager isn't working right, I had to manually set up my network configuration. Now Ubuntu Software Center doesn't think I'm connected to a network and wont download reviews, or screenshots. It installs software find though. Any thoughts on how I can fix this issue? | 03:54 |
| aroman | Romin: that command should work identically if you replace gcc with g++ | 03:54 |
| Romin | Ah, okay I will try anxiety and aroman. | 03:54 |
| aroman | anxiety: ah you beat me too it :P | 03:54 |
| vanquish349 | what is dconf-tools | 03:54 |
| anxiety | haha soz aroman :D | 03:54 |
| aroman | vanquish349: some software for viewing/editing dconf settings | 03:55 |
| theadmin | vanquish349: dconf is a configuration mechanism in Gnome3, replacement of outdated gconf. | 03:55 |
| vanquish349 | ok | 03:55 |
| vanquish349 | my computer just got shutdown is there a way i could see what software he is using to do it | 03:55 |
| aroman | vanquish349: honestly, it seems most likely that he just SSH'd into your bo | 03:56 |
| aroman | box* | 03:56 |
| vanquish349 | is there a way to stop it | 03:56 |
| aroman | vanquish349: change your passwords? or `sudo apt-get remove openssh-server` to remove the software | 03:56 |
| aroman | assuming that's how he's doing it. | 03:57 |
| Redb3ard | would port forwarding prevent him from being able to get in? | 03:58 |
| javier | any help with changing the size of the display (not resolution)? | 03:59 |
| rww | vanquish349: run "sudo ufw enable", then "sudo ufw status". If you see anything other than "Status: active" in response to the second command, pastebin it. | 03:59 |
| JZApples | When adding the partition that my OS is installed on in fstab should I just use defaults for the options? | 03:59 |
| Romin | Thanks guys, it worked. (Well, I am not getting the error anymore, atleast) | 03:59 |
| vanquish349 | rww: nothing else | 04:00 |
| aroman | Romin: symlinking? | 04:00 |
| rww | vanquish349: you should be good to go, then | 04:00 |
| Roasted | Anybody know how to set deja dup so it runs every day, but once a week it does a FULL Backup? | 04:00 |
| aroman | Redb3ard: I assumed this was on LAN | 04:00 |
| vanquish349 | rww: he can still get on | 04:00 |
| Redb3ard | aroman, that makes more sense | 04:01 |
| theadmin | JZApples: Most of the time that's just fine | 04:02 |
| Romin | Well I am testing simple file input. main.cpp:14:14: error: variable ‘std::ifstream ifs’ has initializer but incomplete type. Also main.cpp:20:9: error: ‘exit’ was not declared in this scope. | 04:02 |
| Romin | http://pastebin.com/TiqJCzis | 04:02 |
| theadmin | Romin: wtf is exit()? C++ doesn't have that | 04:03 |
| theadmin | Romin: just "return 1;" | 04:03 |
| aroman | Romin: I'm not a c++ guy, but don't you mean `return`? | 04:03 |
| Romin | main is of type int, so I need to return an int. | 04:03 |
| aroman | Romin: that's definitely valid Python syntax though xD | 04:03 |
| Romin | Hmm theadmin, I'll try. | 04:03 |
| aroman | Romin: we're talking about the method, not the datatype. | 04:03 |
| w3bcrawler | perl vs python for sysadmin ; does it all come down to preference? | 04:04 |
| aroman | w3bcrawler: very very offtopic. | 04:04 |
| theadmin | w3bcrawler: Mostly, Perl is ugly though | 04:04 |
| Redb3ard | webcrawler, echo theadmin | 04:04 |
| w3bcrawler | how is sysadmin offtopic? | 04:05 |
| aroman | you're talking about choices in programming languages | 04:05 |
| aroman | this is about support for Ubuntu :P | 04:05 |
| Redb3ard | lol | 04:05 |
| Redb3ard | come on | 04:05 |
| * theadmin is a Ruby fan | 04:05 | |
| Redb3ard | he wasn't preventing anone being helped :D | 04:06 |
| Romin | Ah, I see what you are talking about. I've used exit before in visual studio with no problem. | 04:06 |
| aroman | yeah I was being a bit overzelous | 04:06 |
| w3bcrawler | so technically, it's offtopic for #perl, #python, and #ubuntu | 04:06 |
| Romin | But yes, that gets rid of that last error. | 04:06 |
| * Redb3ard 's lass wears a Python | 04:06 | |
| Romin | The first one remains. | 04:06 |
| aroman | w3bcrawler: yeah i didn't mean to be rude, I was just trying to avoid a flamewar xD | 04:07 |
| w3bcrawler | haha no its' cool it's just weird how it works :P cuz of the weird mix of py/pl/nix | 04:07 |
| JZApples | When adding the partition that my OS is installed on in fstab should I just use defaults for the options? | 04:07 |
| Redb3ard | is there an official offtopic-offtopic? | 04:07 |
| w3bcrawler | #ubuntu-offtopic-offtopic? | 04:07 |
| Redb3ard | #lo | 04:08 |
| w3bcrawler | g'night peepz, thanks for your help today! | 04:08 |
| wildbat | JZApples: if it is / , you'd better use errors=remount-ro | 04:10 |
| csdserver | anyone have a clue whats going on in this output: http://pastebin.com/LHbEgqmj (xhost + added, ssh -X session) | 04:10 |
| csdserver | the folder in question is a mounted ext4 partition | 04:12 |
| JZApples | wildbat, should / be the mountpoint? how do I know what that should be for sure. That's what I was going to put, but now I"m questioning it. I'm new to modifying fstab and want to make sure i do it right | 04:12 |
| Renierius | Alright, hey people, got somewhat of a newb question here but.. I keep getting "PHP [2] mkdir(): No such file or directory", I'm trying to configure a website, was referring the installer to /var/www as the directory for the FTP. Do you guys see any clues to what I might be doing wrong? Am I handing out the wrong directory? | 04:14 |
| wildbat | JZApples: if you ls it , / hould have etc bin usr dev boot lib sbin proc var ...... | 04:14 |
| JZApples | wildbat, it does. Thanks a lot man. I hope you're around if I ask more questions. I've been trying to do this for days and am really nervous. Read like 10 articles on it, but still kind of sweating. | 04:16 |
| csdserver | renierius - is the directory created and do you have permission to read/write? | 04:16 |
| javier | am i stuck with only changing the resolution or can i change the monitor size somehow? | 04:16 |
| T0X|C | anyone use wbar with ubuntu? It looks awesome. I installed it but when I run it via terminal it says "Using Super bar" but I don't see anything | 04:17 |
| Dulak | Renierius: /var/www is owned by root by default afaik, you probably want to create a new document root under /var/www, and chown that new dir to the user you are ftping as. | 04:17 |
| Renierius | The directory exists, yes, and I had assumed that I did have these permissions.. do you suggest trying to chown the directory? | 04:17 |
| Renierius | Ah, yes, thank you for the pointer! | 04:17 |
| em | Does anyone here enjoy making websites or working with drupal? | 04:17 |
| Renierius | Going to try that. | 04:18 |
| wildbat | JZApples: lol ~ what you are trying to do messing about? | 04:18 |
| Dulak | I don't think anybody *enjoys* working with drupal... | 04:18 |
| wrtiii | Ok, So I just added a new hdd to my system. Start machine and boots to black screen and hangs, reboot and boots to grub loader and sits there until I press enter. boots to login. I am able to login with my creditentials but nowI attempt to do anything such as sudo or even shutdown it returns -bash: sudo: command not found. Rebooted the system and It took 3 more reboots to get it to load again | 04:20 |
| wrtiii | to the grub loader but machine will not fully startup as it did before the new hdd. | 04:20 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Dulak, It depends. Some peeps really enjoy working with drupal as the security is good with it | 04:20 |
| JZApples | wildbat, Shouldn't all my drives be listed in this file? Everywhere I've read it says they should. ATM, I only have swap and floppy in there. | 04:20 |
| zelda | can someone assist me in getting my HDMI working? | 04:20 |
| aroman | JZApples: in where? | 04:20 |
| zelda | lspci doesnt detect it. | 04:20 |
| Dulak | IAmNotThatGuy: Really? They get a LOT of security alerts for something 'good with security' imo. | 04:20 |
| wildbat | JZApples: it should really .... new install? | 04:20 |
| JZApples | aroman, fstab | 04:21 |
| aroman | JZApples: yeah it doesn't have everything | 04:21 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Dulak, I am not into site designing these days. but in the past, it ws okay, when compared with others. dunno now :P | 04:21 |
| aroman | JZApples: some stuff is handled by GIO and is out of there | 04:21 |
| JZApples | wildbat, new install and I've made massive changes with all my drives since then. | 04:21 |
| Renierius | Dulak, I chown'd the directory now, but it's still giving off the same error, what's it you meant with "create a new document root"? | 04:22 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, try creating another account and try | 04:22 |
| JZApples | aroman, but won't it run better with everything in there? I don't know, only been working with Ubuntu 11.04 for a few weeks. | 04:22 |
| aroman | JZApples: well, you're basically talking about the difference between mounting statically at boot and mounting dynamically with nautilus or whatever | 04:23 |
| aroman | so if those drives *never* change, sure, use fstab | 04:23 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: creating another account.. ? | 04:23 |
| Dulak | Renierius: your web server has to point to a document root directory as the root of the website, that is the dir you need to be working with, and should be owned by the same user you are ftping as, usually | 04:23 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, another user* | 04:23 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: what is that going to do? and even so how would I do that when anything I type tells me command not found ? All I did was shutdown the system, plug in a new sata drive and turn the system back on.. ? | 04:24 |
| wrtiii | Is there some procedure in installing a new hdd I am missing for linux? | 04:25 |
| JZApples | aroman, well this is my file server with two different RAID setups connected. I want to make sure it mounts properly and sets up the shares if I need to reboot. But if it just automatically does that and editing this file is pointless then I won't. | 04:25 |
| aroman | JZApples: seeing as you want to use it as a fileserver i'd say go with fstab | 04:25 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, try without sudo to chmod and other actions | 04:25 |
| aroman | if we were talking about external HDs I'd say leave it alone | 04:25 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I think you are in as a root aaccount | 04:26 |
| Renierius | Dulak: Well.. wouldn't that be /var/www right now then? I'm working out of that one and I just chown'd it, but it didn't seem to change anything. | 04:26 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: I cannot even use shutdown or reboot commands | 04:26 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, what version are you using? | 04:26 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: and no it's logging me in as my created user. becuase I tried to sudo to root and it gave me the command not found thng | 04:27 |
| wrtiii | 11.04 Server | 04:27 |
| Dulak | Renierius: that depends on your web server config. None of my websites use /var/www as a docroot. I tend to do something like /var/www/domain.com as the docroot, with that folder owned by the user. I have no idea how you are configured. | 04:27 |
| fizy[laptop] | im trying to ssh from my laptop to my desktop, but my laptop is saying that either its a man in the middle attack, or the host key has changed. i know for a fact that its not an attack. if i sudo it however, it works fine. is there any way to force ssh to re-key my desktop? | 04:29 |
| Flannel | Renierius: /var/www is the default document root, yes. www-data is the user that apcahe runs as, so in order to serve anything, it needs to be readable by www-data (and, if PHP is creating files, writable too). FTP is entirely different, but you still need to make sure you have the proper permissions to write there as your FTP user. | 04:29 |

| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: I just removed the shutdown removed the hdd and rebooted with the original config and now it boots to a grub loader screen and just sits there... | 04:30 |
| Renierius | Alright, I'll give that a try, thank you, Dulak. | 04:30 |
| Flannel | fizy[laptop]: The better way would be to just get your laptop to accept the new key as valid | 04:30 |
| Dulak | fizy[laptop]: edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the line that has the key for the host you are having issues with, it should readd next time you connect with the current key | 04:30 |
| fizy[laptop] | Flannel: how would i do that? | 04:30 |
| wildbat | fizy[laptop]: coz your IP changed ~ remove the file in ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 04:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, you have a liveCD? | 04:31 |
| fizy[laptop] | Dulak: there are many lines. how do i know which one to remove? | 04:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, I Have no Idea why you removed shutdown :[ | 04:31 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: one of these usb sticks around here should be but who knows which one :P | 04:31 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, you upgraded the OS? | 04:32 |
| wrtiii | the grub loader is giving me an option for recovery mode already | 04:32 |
| JZApples | In fstab, what is the proc line for? | 04:32 |
| fizy[laptop] | Dulak: nope. its just gibberish | 04:33 |

| wrtiii | will look now | 04:33 |

| vanquish349 | there is someone taking control of my computer(i think it is my brother). i have tried a few things to stop it but no luck would anyone be able to help me sort it ou | 04:34 |
| vanquish349 | out* | 04:34 |
| Dulak | fizy[laptop]: then delete them all, you'll have to ok whenever you connect again but it's a small price to pay. Also, it's at the end of the line, and the hostname is always there, unless you force it not to be when you create a key. You would have to go out of your way for it not to be there. | 04:34 |
| aroman | vanquish349: hold on, why don't you just talk to your brother about it? | 04:34 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: How is that forum post helpful? | 04:34 |
| JZApples | aroman, thanks dawg | 04:35 |
| vanquish349 | aroman: because i did and he hit me | 04:35 |
| JZApples | aroman, RTFM? | 04:35 |
| aroman | JZApples: "read the fine manual" except fine is usually another four letter word beginning with F :P | 04:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | wrtiii, if you have upgraded, someone already had the same problem. try sudo -i and see whether it wirks. Or else have to report | 04:35 |
| JZApples | aroman, rofl | 04:35 |
| wrtiii | Iamnotthatguy: It's not just sudo though. It is shutdown, restart, fdisk, df, ifconfig and every other command I can think of with the exception of logout | 04:36 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | OMG | 04:36 |

| needhelp1 | right i know im in dry run, looking for comments on my command. Im concerned about lossless media and images, not sure if rsync is safe with those types of files | 04:40 |
| Dulak | ignore-existing is not a good idea, unless you know what you're doing. It only uses the filename to compare, rather than byte-to-byte. You won't get changed files with it. | 04:41 |
| vanquish349 | so can someone help me | 04:41 |
| needhelp1 | Dulak, ah, i'll remove it | 04:41 |
| needhelp1 | my prior post, why does it say im sending much more than im receiving ? | 04:41 |
| needhelp1 | i dont get that | 04:41 |
| Dulak | needhelp1: It uses deltas to compare changes, the deltas are counted in your transfer, even if they only confirm there was no change that needed to be transferred | 04:42 |

| eQuiNoX__ | seanmc98 aah, well i cant tell you how to get a hold of windows iso/disk you have to figure that out on your own ;-) | 05:28 |
| KE1HA | On most of the newer MB's, it's wehre you plug the SATA drive into that determines what it is, same with onboard cd's, raid's etc | 05:28 |
| seanmc98 | eQuiNoX__, torrents work :P | 05:28 |

| wrtiii | KE1HA: Now that I remove the 2nd HDD and Reboot 2 or 3 times The server now works perfect just like it did before | 05:36 |
| KE1HA | jen: I used this guide on my other half pod, and worked first time. | 05:37 |
| KE1HA | http://ubuntuguide.net/get-ipod-touchipad-recognized-sync-with-gtkpod-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04 | 05:37 |

| jen | neato | 05:37 |
| jen | was it a touch? | 05:37 |
| KE1HA | Yeah, just touch, not iPhone. | 05:37 |
| kumar | equinox.. when i give the root password and open my synatic it now says as another synaptic is running.. but my update manager is open now. | 05:37 |
| jen | ok | 05:37 |
| kumar | ok thanks mouse. | 05:38 |
| mouse | update manager updates the system | 05:38 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: Ok, you need to get the topography of your drive system, do you have pastebin installed? | 05:38 |
| wrtiii | on the linux system? | 05:38 |
| KE1HA | yes | 05:38 |
| wrtiii | nope | 05:38 |
| wrtiii | didn't realize it was an app | 05:39 |
| Jazillann | hi, does nayone know the software the ubuntu documentation pages are built on? | 05:39 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: hold on one | 05:39 |
| wrtiii | is there a package for it? | 05:39 |
| KE1HA | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 05:40 |
| KE1HA | then paste the link it give you | 05:40 |
| riz0n | So is there a way to force mount an NTFS Partition in Ubuntu | 05:42 |
| needhelp1 | does anyone know when using rsync what ^M means | 05:42 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Does that work for command line? | 05:43 |
| Jazillann | riz0n: search the ubuntu software centre for ntfs, should be an ntfs tool there | 05:43 |
| Jazillann | needhelp1: if you do rsync --help it should tell you | 05:43 |
| KE1HA | just copy and paste what i posted and it will install and then do the fdisk and send it to pastenin for us. | 05:43 |
| linn00b | Hello! I'm looking for some help on setting up a guest account. The first time I tried it things didn't go so well and I think it was due to a lack of privileges. | 05:44 |

| KE1HA | wrtiii: you can also install it when doing LiveCD when you having problems and post it so folks can help you. | 05:45 |
| riz0n | Jazillann: thanks. my hard drive is going dead (I think) and I want the opportunity to try and back its contents up before I try formatting and reinstalling its contents. | 05:45 |
| seanmc98 | what program do you suggest using to download torrents/ | 05:45 |
| wrtiii | That is awesome | 05:45 |
| wrtiii | http://paste.ubuntu.com/660299/ | 05:45 |
| Jazillann | seanmc98: azureus, ktorrent, utorrent | 05:45 |
| wrtiii | I have it on my windows machine here and normally just cut and paste to it | 05:45 |
| tensorpudding | seanmc98: transmission, it is available by default | 05:45 |
| wrtiii | but so much easier having it right on the server | 05:46 |
| seanmc98 | transmission isnt any goood? | 05:46 |
| wrtiii | brb gotta go find a usb stick | 05:46 |
| linn00b | ubottu: thanks! I'll be fine doing through the GUI? or should I CL it? | 05:46 |

| needhelp1 | !ask | jen | 05:46 |
| Jazillann | !ask | jen | 05:46 |
| ubottu | jen: 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. :-) | 05:46 |

| linn00b | I see. | 05:47 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: so you do have LVM installed, you'll have to reconnect the drive, use the LiveCD, and do the same thing so we can see what that drive is doing to the LVM | 05:47 |
| jen | well I am still ubuntu ignorant and I need someone to personally help me | 05:47 |
| linn00b | jen, I'll try to help :) | 05:47 |
| jen | ok cool :3 | 05:48 |
| linn00b | but I'd take a look at my username. | 05:48 |
| anxiety | haha jen wats up? | 05:48 |
| jen | <.< yeah no thankies ^-^" | 05:48 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Is LVM worth it? I was already considering just doing a fresh install without it. using max space on both drives | 05:48 |
| jen | I need personal help with my ipod touch to syn music | 05:48 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: I mean I could understand the LVM for a desktop situation but hindsight being 20/20 just seems to be something more to go wrong with a server. | 05:49 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: in some cases, yes, but my prefrence is no, if I need more that a TB of storage, I go to HW RAID | 05:49 |
| jen | I am using gtkpod and the instructions I am using arent helping | 05:49 |
| jen | lol anyone? | 05:50 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: you can always install JOBD which keeps things seperate device wise and still give you all the space, just not continious. | 05:50 |
| linn00b | you used the word thankies. Everyone probably hates you. | 05:50 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: the best too I've used for LVM is not a UB distro tool, its from Fedora, but I doint support it here. | 05:50 |
| aroman | jen: personal help? | 05:51 |
| jen | yes like someone chat with just me to help | 05:51 |
| jen | like KEN | 05:51 |
| jen | tehe | 05:51 |
| aroman | well, | 05:51 |
| goddard | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11126608#post11126608 | 05:51 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: If this is a real server, meaning, you want good reliability, LVM is probably NOT what you want to be using. | 05:51 |
| goddard | help | 05:51 |
| daijie | asdf | 05:51 |
| aroman | I can say that probably the best experience i've had with ipod syncing is just using windows/mac | 05:51 |
| goddard | it seems like i have problems that no one can ever slve | 05:51 |
| aroman | in a VM or WINE | 05:51 |
| jen | will it work on WINE? | 05:52 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Is there a way to remove the LVM without doing a fresh install? | 05:52 |
| KE1HA | jen: Im not an expert in ipod stuff, but if you can explain the exact problem your having, someone watching here may know how to help. | 05:52 |
| aroman | jen: not sure about the latest version | 05:52 |
| aroman | goddard: what exactly is your problem? | 05:53 |
| jen | ok dokie | 05:53 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: Probably, but it's more pain than its worth. I'd do a backup of anythign critical, and install without LVM for any server type setup. Make sure you install the other drive first though. | 05:53 |
| Jazillann | does anyone know the mediawiki theme used at https://help.ubuntu.com/ ? | 05:53 |
| quiescens | shrugs, lvm shouldn't be any significantly worse than using drives individually, but obviously isn't as good as using drives redundantly | 05:54 |
| goddard | aroman: a file exists yet it doesn and i cant figure out why | 05:54 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: using Tasksel you can have a server install done, up and runnign in 30 minutes. | 05:54 |
| goddard | aroman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11126608#post11126608 | 05:54 |
| jen | well then here's my prob. My ipod is registered and I have music on here I would like to get onto my pod, but cannot sync it. I have apps, a little music, and such. Will it work on WINE? GTK idk if it works or not, it has 8 gig touch as an option but intrustioncs are invalid because I am using natty. | 05:54 |
| aroman | goddard: i'm looking at the screenshot now | 05:55 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: yea nothing critcal yet. lamp server, mumble server and static ip is as far as I got. wanted to install the 2nd harddrive so I can keep a mirror image of the main drive in a stable state should problems like this arise. then I can just restore the image from the secondary drive and not have to worry about any problems that were created | 05:55 |
| aroman | goddard: it's very blurry, can you pastebin the output? | 05:55 |
| rypervenche | jen: You could always run a VM with Windows in it. | 05:55 |
| jen | a what? | 05:55 |
| jen | VM??? | 05:55 |
| aroman | jen: virtual machine | 05:55 |
| MrWizard | if the music is registered and in itunes, makes an export of it and hard transfer the music to the device via NAS | 05:55 |
| jen | umm | 05:55 |
| goddard | aroman: not sure why everyone sys tha i can readit fine | 05:55 |
| jen | how? | 05:55 |
| jen | is it complicated? | 05:56 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: LAMP is 30 seconds to install, if nothign critical is there, Install the second drive, and do a fresh server install. | 05:56 |
| aroman | goddard: we can't. | 05:56 |
| aroman | jen: not really | 05:56 |
| goddard | aroman: odd | 05:56 |
| MrWizard | Hello World ^-^ | 05:56 |
| goddard | aroman: ok i guess | 05:56 |
| Jazillann | jen: this might help http://www.ehow.com/how_5197743_download-itunes-linux-ubuntu.html | 05:56 |
| rypervenche | jen: I believe if you want to be able to sync apps and things of that nature you have to use iTunes. | 05:56 |
| jen | itunes wont work on linux will it? | 05:56 |
| aroman | jen: not natively, no. | 05:56 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Will do. now if someone could just train my cat to return the usb stick it stole so I don't have to scrap one of my other ones for this that would be great | 05:56 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: that part I can do almost blindfolded and have done hundreds of test install so can help you more from that perspective. | 05:56 |
| linn00b | apple and *nix dont get along | 05:56 |
| aroman | linn00b: all of apple's products are *nix.. | 05:57 |
| === needhelp1 is now known as oscalation | ||
| Jazillann | then though apple is pretty much *nix.. | 05:57 |
| Jazillann | ahaha | 05:57 |
| aroman | :P | 05:57 |
| linn00b | aroman: touche. should have said linux. | 05:57 |
| jen | then how? | 05:57 |
| linn00b | aroman: shorthand ftl | 05:57 |
| aroman | linn00b: yeah :P | 05:57 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: +1 on the cat know what ya mean ! | 05:57 |
| dunbar | wasn't mach based on freebsd | 05:57 |
| linn00b | aroman: atleast I have my username to hide behind... >,> | 05:57 |
| linn00b | dubar: Unix. | 05:58 |
| aroman | dunbar: OS X is based on BSD, yes. | 05:58 |
| MrWizard | well, BSD at any rate | 05:58 |
| jen | if anyone wants to waste their time helping me, private chat me | 05:58 |
| aroman | jen: short answer: it's hackish | 05:58 |
| MrWizard | which is Berkley's old school flav o unix | 05:58 |
| aroman | apple doesn't provide any official support for linux | 05:58 |

| jen | a cute lil noob | 05:58 |
| aroman | goddard: why would you not just pastebin? | 05:58 |
| aroman | thats 900x easier | 05:58 |
| goddard | aroman: dude what do i need to pastbin? | 05:59 |
| aroman | goddard: exactly what's in your terminal | 05:59 |
| aroman | there's no reason at all that you need anything but that | 05:59 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: sure, go ahead | 05:59 |
| aroman | that's all you're showing. | 05:59 |
| linn00b | So I got my new user set up! Much thanks to everyone. Now its for my kid, so I want to make sure I can monitor what he does on the account, does Linux have a keylogger it likes to use? | 05:59 |
| seanmc98 | if i have a windows xp .iso and virtualbox installed how do i set it up? | 05:59 |
| aroman | linn00b: you want to use a keylogger to spy on your child? | 05:59 |
| frodo_baggins | guys is it it necessary to have a /home partition. I have other drives in my HDD and windows 7 too. | 06:00 |
| no-name- | will ubuntu run ok on a 2.7 ghz single core? | 06:00 |
| linn00b | aroman: I want to make sure he doesn't hop onto the internet and disappear into the porn cloud, yes | 06:00 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins: no, but why would you not have one? | 06:00 |
| MrWizard | lol | 06:00 |
| aroman | linn00b: you want a porn filter, not a keylogger. | 06:00 |
| aroman | a keylogger would do nothing to prevent that scenario | 06:00 |
| aroman | since it can only report things after the fact | 06:00 |
| linn00b | aroman: both? First I want a keylogger. | 06:01 |
| aroman | no-name-: very well | 06:01 |
| MrWizard | ubuntu will run ok on that old p2 box ya got sittin in the corner down in ya basement ;) | 06:01 |

| frodo_baggins | aroman: yeah good point, but i was thinking if i give 250 gb out of 2TB to /root. Or can you suggest me sizes plz.? | 06:01 |
| no-name- | MrWizard: I couldn't find video drivers for that one :P | 06:01 |
| aroman | linn00b: well suit yourself, check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/14180/how-can-i-install-a-keylogger | 06:01 |
| aroman | linn00b: I'm afraid I can't vouch for anything personally | 06:01 |
| Flannel | linn00b: You should look into dansguardian, which is a web filter | 06:02 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins: not sure what you're trying to do | 06:02 |
| linn00b | aroman: dansguardian, got it, much appreciated friend! | 06:02 |
| aroman | linn00b: I think you meant to direct that to Flannel :P | 06:02 |
| linn00b | >< | 06:03 |
| MrWizard | no-name: probably was an old via chipset for video then, in which case you need to use some old openchrome drivers, in addition to generating your own xorg.conf file cause it wont be made on install or driver update =( | 06:03 |
| linn00b | I guess I'm just used to seeing red and thinking its you | 06:03 |
| aroman | heh | 06:03 |
| linn00b | Flannel: thanks! | 06:03 |

| seanmc98 | can someone help me seT UP VIRTUAL box on 11.04 so i can run windows xp. i have the .iso downloaded | 06:03 |
| frodo_baggins | aroman: just going to install ubuntu side by side windows 7 but using manual partitioning, to use for testing my php scripts | 06:03 |
| linn00b | haha I've made a proper ass out of myself tonight. | 06:03 |
| seanmc98 | and i have virtual box installed | 06:03 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins: ah I see | 06:03 |
| dunbar | seanmc98: have you started vb yet? | 06:03 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins: what's wrong with the default layout? | 06:03 |
| MrWizard | ew. default layouts. *shivers* >< | 06:04 |
| seanmc98 | dunbar, yes | 06:04 |
| seanmc98 | clicked new. and maed it windows XP | 06:04 |
| seanmc98 | named* | 06:04 |
| dunbar | and? | 06:04 |
| seanmc98 | idk what to do after that i have never used it | 06:04 |
| aroman | !details | seanmc98 | 06:04 |
| ubottu | seanmc98: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 06:04 |
| frodo_baggins | aroman: I guess, when something happens to windows installation, even ubuntu installation gets affected if you chose side by side-default. | 06:05 |
| seanmc98 | dunbar, do i select boot hard disk? | 06:05 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins: changing your partition map wouldn't really do that | 06:05 |
| aroman | i think you're referring to GRUB being overwritten | 06:05 |
| === MrWizard is now known as Sabu | ||
| Sabu | boo. | 06:06 |
| milamber | frodo_baggins: are you just trying to get an AMP server set up? | 06:07 |
| frodo_baggins_ | aroman: exactly | 06:09 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins_: yeah messing around with your partition map is going to do nothing to fix that I'm afraid | 06:09 |
| frodo_baggins_ | aroman: ahh....so should i choose "default-sise-by-side" option or give "free space to ubuntu" to do it by self? | 06:10 |
| Sabu | if u pick free space its prolly gonna take ALL ur free space | 06:11 |
| aroman | frodo_baggins_: I guess that really depends on your own configuration | 06:11 |
| Sabu | pre-partition space and do the side by side | 06:11 |
| aroman | us guessing wouldn't really help much | 06:11 |
| frodo_baggins_ | okay, so i pre partition it then and install, ty ty all | 06:12 |

| devsys | Hey everyone.... quick question. I have a installation of Xymon which was installed and working perfectly using the official ubuntu package. Some time has pased, and I really need to update the install as some security issues have came to light that have been addressed in the latest version. The developer has a deb file for this new version on sourceforge... how can I upgrade my install? | 06:25 |
| iceCupa | wats the channelspeak? | 06:26 |
| urlin2u | devsys, that is a server package? | 06:27 |
| devsys | yes | 06:27 |
| devsys | I believe so... its ubuntu server | 06:27 |
| Yukinoroh | anyone else having scrollbar issues in gimp? | 06:27 |
| Yukinoroh | if liboverlay is installed, the font selection is impossible, and if it's not, the scrollbar at the bottom will hide part of the image | 06:28 |
| KE1HA | yes it's a network monitor I think | 06:28 |
| Yukinoroh | I think it's caused by liboverlay | 06:28 |
| urlin2u | devsys, before you get yelled at this being a ubuntu channel , try here #ubuntu-server ;) | 06:28 |
| devsys | uups, thanks | 06:28 |
| devsys | oops* | 06:28 |
| Flannel | urlin2u, devsys: that question was perfectly fine for this channel. | 06:28 |
| rypervenche | devsys: Download the .deb file, install it using "# dpkg -i filname" | 06:28 |
| rypervenche | devsys: # meaning root powers. | 06:29 |
| urlin2u | Flannel, no problem I was just giving the full optional exsperience. ;) | 06:29 |
| devsys | rypervenche: I did and I got xymon conflicts with hobbit-client | 06:29 |
| samy3 | hi | 06:29 |
| samy3 | help me how to install VirutalBox in my linux machine? | 06:29 |
| devsys | should I remote the hobbit-client package? I dont have a problem doing that I just don't want to hose the server part of the install | 06:30 |
| dunbar | samy3 it is in the ubuntu software center | 06:30 |
| Flannel | devsys: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 06:30 |
| samy3 | dunbar where is ubuntu software center? | 06:30 |
| === root is now known as Guest75269 | ||
| devsys | Flannel: I believe 10 | 06:31 |
| dunbar | samy3: are you on 11.04 | 06:31 |
| devsys | 11.04 | 06:31 |
| KE1HA | System >> Administration or Applicaitons Ubuntu Software Center | 06:31 |
| Guest75269 | hy | 06:31 |
| urlin2u | samy3, there is also the virtualbox website if you want to use usb HD's or thumbs | 06:31 |
| Guest75269 | Newbie ^_^ | 06:31 |
| samy3 | guys can you tell me how to install using the terminal? | 06:31 |
| samy3 | command | 06:31 |
| theadmin | samy3: sudo apt-get install packaganame | 06:32 |
| theadmin | !APT | samy3 | 06:32 |
| ubottu | samy3: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 06:32 |
| Flannel | devsys: hobbit-client is a dummy package, so you'll be fine removing it (it doesn't provide anything) | 06:32 |
| devsys | sweet | 06:32 |
| Flannel | devsys: You just want to make sure you have xymon-client installed (which is what hobbit-client turned into) | 06:32 |
| urlin2u | samy3, make sure you install dkms as well it wil allow kernel updates on the host without reloading the guest additions. | 06:33 |
| KE1HA | Geez, lets see: sudo dpkg -i or sudo aptitude install or sudo apt-get install too many to pick from :-) | 06:33 |
| theadmin | KE1HA: Yep, exactly the reason I hate APT :P | 06:33 |
| samy3 | urlinu what is dkms? | 06:33 |
| Flannel | KE1HA: dpkg -i knows nothing about repositories, apt-get and aptitude are two different frontends, aptitude is no longer installed by default. | 06:34 |
| KE1HA | Indeed dpkg fer .deb should have stated that sri :-) | 06:34 |
| urlin2u | samy3, it links up the virtual and host kernel, for being able to update the host kernel and no having to reinstall the guest additions in virtualbox. | 06:35 |
| devsys | Flannel: I get Package hobbit-client is not installed, so not removed | 06:35 |
| devsys | Flannel: Using sudo apt-get remove hobbit-client | 06:36 |
| devsys | Flannel: dpkg -l | grep hobbit-client showed nothing | 06:36 |
| samy3 | urlin2u but vb is not install on my pc | 06:38 |
| urlin2u | samy3, I thought you wanted to install virtualbox. | 06:38 |
| frodo_baggins | hi I was trying to install netbeans 7 bundled with jre java....but got this error...http://pastebin.com/Pnx4dTEK please help!! | 06:39 |
| samy3 | yeh urlinu2u i want to install vb=virutal box | 06:39 |
| KE1HA | devsys: try: apt-cache policy hobbit-client | 06:39 |
| urlin2u | samy3, right and before or after you do I suggested to install dkms, if you don't want to reinstall the guest additions in VB every time you get a kernel update in the host. | 06:40 |
| frodo_baggins | is jre 7 supported on ubuntu 11.04 | 06:41 |
| Flannel | devsys: ah, it seems that's a virtual package provided by xymon-client. So, that's somewhat annoying. | 06:41 |
| samy3 | urlin2u how can i install dkms? | 06:41 |
| theadmin | frodo_baggins: Normally not. | 06:41 |
| urlin2u | samy3, sudo apt-get install dkms in the terminal. | 06:41 |
| samy3 | ok urlin2u got it | 06:42 |
| frodo_baggins | theadmin: any way to install neteans 7.0.1 | 06:42 |
| devsys | KE1HA: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660316/ | 06:42 |
| samy3 | oh no :( error come while instaling dkms | 06:42 |
| KE1HA | devsys: verifies what Flannel said about virtual package .. that's a pain. | 06:42 |
| urlin2u | samy3, you might want to get acquainted with synaptic as well, I prefer it over the software center more info really, it is in the admin area. | 06:43 |
| devsys | Hmm so what do I do about it? | 06:43 |
| samy3 | http://pastebin.com/nUALHX7N here is the error when i use apt-get install dkms | 06:43 |
| urlin2u | samy3, did you use sudo? | 06:44 |
| KE1HA | samy3: ua need sudo to install dkms | 06:44 |
| samy3 | no urlin2u | 06:44 |
| KE1HA | sudo apt-get install dkms | 06:44 |
| linn00b | exit | 06:44 |
| Myrtti | he is using root terminal | 06:44 |
| urlin2u | samy3, you don't need to be in root and shouldn't be | 06:44 |
| KE1HA | That's gonna cause issues | 06:45 |
| samy3 | ok omg again error comes using sudo | 06:45 |
| KE1HA | especially with dynamic kernel module compilation | 06:45 |
| urlin2u | samy3, is this a fresh install have you run a regualar update? | 06:45 |
| samy3 | let meyes fresh install | 06:46 |
| samy3 | yes it is fresh install | 06:46 |
| urlin2u | samy3, run this then the dkms sudo apt-get update | 06:46 |
| MikeChelen | is there any way to adjust the sizes of the close, minimize, and maximize icons in 11.04? | 06:46 |
| devsys | Hmm so can I force the deb to overwrite it? | 06:47 |
| urlin2u | samy3, really a update and upgrade probably should n=be run before adding apps | 06:47 |
| samy3 | when i use dkms sudo apt-get update then this error come http://pastebin.com/rujbKebf | 06:48 |
| urlin2u | samy3, the sudo is the first thing run sudo apt-get update is the command | 06:49 |
| KE1HA | cuz your tryting to tell a package name to do something .. sudo apt-get update first, them upgrade, then install dkms | 06:49 |
| urlin2u | KE1HA, ;) | 06:49 |
| urlin2u | samy3, you will get the hang of it. ;) | 06:50 |
| samy3 | ok urlin2u some package start installing on my pc | 06:50 |
| samy3 | :) | 06:50 |
| urlin2u | samy3, it should show in the terminal, probably a bunch of packages will appear and a y/n for install. | 06:51 |
| samy3 | yes urlin2u still installing. Hey can i ask you how red color appears when you wirte to me? | 06:52 |
| urlin2u | samy3, if you type the nic the first few letter then hit tab it should complete, the red is so you see I'm talking to you. | 06:53 |
| Ssn | transmission says port is closed when i have that port open in the router, is there other system setting i should tweak? | 06:53 |
| samy3 | urlin2u, ok got it and also sudo apt-get update command is completed what to do next? | 06:54 |
| urlin2u | samy3, what do you see in the terminal? | 06:55 |
| Ssn | also I've tried disabling ufw/enable ufw but allowing that port, wouldn't work either way | 06:55 |
| wrtiii | well it's confirmed that this server supports hot swapping sata drives at least ;) | 06:55 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: that's progress from where we were fer sure. | 06:56 |
| onats | hey | 06:56 |
| urlin2u | samy3, in ubuntu the update command only gathers whats available, so did you see a packages for install and a y/n for installation? | 06:56 |
| onats | does 'brogrammer' have negative connotations? | 06:56 |
| samy3 | urlin2u, http://pastebin.com/n4nkLeCp | 06:56 |
| KE1HA | urlin2u: just give hime the whole line with the && statement, he's goo to go on updates | 06:57 |
| urlin2u | samy3, this is the ubuntu channel we can't help with backtrack, sorry. | 06:57 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Just loaded up gparted from my hirens stick and wipe all drive partitions. first attempt to reinstall the installer wouldn't do the partitioning guided w/o lvm because of the already existing lvm partitions | 06:58 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: gotta love LVM ey :-) | 06:58 |
| samy3 | urlin2u, please help me with this :) if you don't mind. otherwise tell me where can i get help regarding this? | 06:59 |
| KE1HA | samy3: now you need to upgrade the packages: sudo apt-get upgrade then answer Y when it asks you. | 06:59 |
| urlin2u | samy3, I would except that this is the ubuntu chanell I would rather not be banned. | 06:59 |
| KE1HA | after that's done, you can install dkms | 06:59 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Yea.. it's amazing... haha I'm sure in a desktop situation it would be great. but for a server.. the option should be removed from the installer | 06:59 |
| samy3 | ok urlin2u , | 07:00 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: and really.. why LVM at all... what was wrong with partition magic and a floppy disk.. ;) | 07:00 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: in most cased HW RAID is the best way to go fer true servers, but for testing and such, multi-signgle dives are ok. | 07:01 |
| MikeChelen | can the size of the close, minimize, | 07:01 |
| MikeChelen | and maximize buttons be adjusted in 11.04? | 07:01 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: I used LVM a few times, until I had the headache you've had, and that was enough. | 07:01 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, http://pastebin.com/n4nkLeCp when i used this sudo apt-get update | 07:01 |

| Guest48548 | can anyone help me with wifi on xubuntu my hardware is dell e1505 a broadcom wireless chip | 07:03 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: I was toying with the software raid idea, but it's just my own personal server. What I require is the ability to keep an "out-of-date" image of my working system should I wrecked my system learning how to configure a shared user database across multiple services. Then I can go uh-oh.. and reimage and save myself a couple hours worth of setup getting the server back to where it was | 07:04 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Where with a raid setup my mistakes would be saved before I knew I made them :P | 07:04 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Do you install the LAMP and SSH directly from the installer tasksel menu? or do you bring the system up with a minimal install and then run tasksel @ first login? | 07:05 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: SW RAID is as bad as LVM, mabye worse. HW-RAID and a good off system back up is best way to go IMHO | 07:06 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: Install SSH first, then make sure it's working, then go back into tasksel and do LAMP | 07:06 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: at the risk of getting beaten I'm honestly beginning to wonder if linux is truly the way to go or not ;) | 07:06 |
| samy3 | hi how can i open the .rar file? | 07:07 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: for Server, definately the way to go. | 07:07 |
| skpl | is there a way to change my cursor theme in natty narwal? | 07:08 |
| KE1HA | Then again, there's only one WinDoze box in the house here, the wife's WOrk Laptop, the rest are all UB Linux. | 07:08 |
| KE1HA | samy3: Hows the upgrade going, still installing? | 07:09 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: I've been directly supporting a server of 2500 terminals and indirectly supporting the rest of the country + we are currently gearing up our deployable networks which will link into the network via satellite uplink and I don't think I've ever encountered the amount of problems I've come across in the past week trying to get linux working on 1 machine (4 machines if you include the other | 07:09 |
| wrtiii | 3 that just did not like linux) | 07:09 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, yes upgrade still installing , net speed is slow | 07:09 |
| weside | I like linucks :) | 07:09 |
| KE1HA | samy3: Ok no worries, let us know when it's done. | 07:10 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: Automatic Security Updates.. I tell it to go to hell I will do it manually or does linux actually have something that works? hehe | 07:10 |

| urlin2u | *runs | 07:14 |
| KE1HA | OT I know but, Cisco owns the pipes, Linux runs the Net :-) | 07:14 |
| wrtiii | urlin2u: I went through 3 pc's all GX280, GX620 and a Lenovo P4 era. None of them would take a standard ubuntu install all of would install fine. pc would post then lock up | 07:15 |
| urlin2u | the fastest super computers at least 70% run a linux variant. | 07:15 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, I suspect that your new at this am I correct? | 07:16 |
| wrtiii | If it wasn't for the fact that I completed the exact same install process on my laptop without incident I would of blamed myself as the common failure point | 07:16 |
| smokeycastle | I have an issue with switching to console previously I was able to go ctrl + alt +f1 to switch to console however now when I do it i stay on the gui I just lose the ability to interact with anything until i press ctrl + alt + f7. any ideas what has happened? | 07:16 |
| wrtiii | urlin2u: depends what your suspecting I am new to | 07:16 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, open source | 07:16 |
| wrtiii | that's a fair enough statement | 07:17 |
| wrtiii | Last contact was slackware about 15 years ago so old, new, either works :P | 07:17 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, no biggie it is not always plug and play, but nice when it is. ;) | 07:17 |
| wrtiii | Well I still gotta get the paperwork past the boss for having one of the good towers at home so I may be figuring out how to get the install to work on one of the older machines in a couple weeks ;) | 07:18 |
| wrtiii | At any rate, So What about the automatic security updates. my install is waiting for an answer | 07:18 |
| KE1HA | you have to tell it if you want them to do it or not | 07:19 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, seems logical to install security updates. | 07:19 |
| wrtiii | on one hand, once I deploy I may be away for 6-9 months with very limited or possibly no access to my server. so would be good to have the security updates being done automaticaly | 07:19 |
| wrtiii | but then again I don't want the system going down because of some failure in the auto update process | 07:20 |
| wrtiii | So I guess my question is, How stable is the automatic security update process? | 07:20 |
| KE1HA | Security updates are well testing from my experience, when you get into third party or exotic apps it can get a bit tricky. | 07:21 |
| KE1HA | .. well tested .. | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, peronally know nothing in the server area, if you don't get answers that satisfy you here, try #ubuntu-server. | 07:21 |
| urlin2u | personally* | 07:21 |
| wrtiii | lol keep going to different channels until someone gives me the answer I want ? ;) | 07:22 |
| rokra | Hi, I installed ubuntu yesterday alongside win7 but I have no multiboot option , and I have only the boot to win7 any ideas? | 07:22 |
| urlin2u | roknir, you need to reload grub2 tho the mbr. | 07:23 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: that's the right answer :-) .. Also, sticking with the LTS release bundles are best for server, unless you must have something from a later distro. | 07:23 |
| urlin2u | roknir, what is the other distro besides W7 | 07:23 |
| rokra | only ubuntu 11 | 07:23 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I need to read the doc grub2 because I don t want to break the mbr | 07:24 |
| wrtiii | KE1HA: good point, and you mention this after I am 3/4 of the way through the install process again... haha | 07:24 |

| wrtiii | KE1HA: What's the life span left on 10.04 LTS? | 07:25 |
| auronandace | !lts | wrtiii | 07:26 |
| ubottu | wrtiii: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 07:26 |
| KE1HA | wrtiii: 3yrs fer Desktop and 5 for servers I think, need to check that. | 07:26 |
| KE1HA | Ahh, the BOT got t it first :-) | 07:26 |
| wrtiii | That does not answer my question though :P | 07:26 |
| urlin2u | rokra, does the link make sense just 3 commands form a booted naty cd to fix you uo. | 07:27 |
| wrtiii | What was the release date of the current LTS version? | 07:27 |
| KE1HA | Oh, SRI, Left on .. well 10.04 came out in April 2010 :-) | 07:27 |
| auronandace | wrtiii: it does, the release numbers are based on the date: 10.04 = april 2010 | 07:27 |

| wrtiii | any huge changes between 10.04 and 11.04 server versions? | 07:28 |
| KE1HA | tht's you'd ahve to ask ubuntu-server guys on, I test the ISO install, but not much else untill a year before upgrading. | 07:29 |
| Lasers | wrtiii: HUGE. | 07:29 |
| Lasers | wrtiii: Oh server version. Nevermind! | 07:29 |
| rokra | urlin2u: thanks, should be OK | 07:31 |
| wols | wrtiii: 10.04 is a lot longer supported | 07:31 |
| rokra | urlin2u: rebooting on the disk now , I hope ;) | 07:31 |
| urlin2u | rokra, cool the mbr can be intimidating. ;) | 07:31 |

| wols | kz3: the directory should look like this http://paste.debian.net/125337/ | 07:34 |
| === llutz__ is now known as llutz_ | ||
| wrtiii | does ubuntu list a certified torrent of it or something? | 07:34 |
| kz3 | wols : which directory? | 07:34 |
| Lasers | !torrent | wri | 07:35 |
| ubottu | wri: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 07:35 |
| Lasers | !torrents | wrtiii | 07:35 |
| ubottu | wrtiii: Natty can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/desktop/ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/natty/server/ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ | 07:35 |
| wols | kz3: the directory which is shown in my paste and your error message... | 07:35 |
| kz3 | wols : how should I solve the error? | 07:35 |
| Algorith | transmission has a cli? | 07:35 |
| krazykrivda | I have been using fstab to mount a vfat partition, but it no longer gives me any access to modify files. what should I do? | 07:35 |
| wols | bullgard4_: gksu <xterm> or sudo <shell> then start the problem reporting stuff | 07:35 |
| KE1HA | it's probably an error in the source.list | 07:36 |
| wols | kz3: the question is how does this dierctory look at your end? | 07:36 |
| urlin2u | wrtiii, http://ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/releases/10.04/ | 07:36 |
| wols | KE1HA: if a apt binary is missing, it's a sources.list problem? | 07:36 |
| wols | KE1HA: the method driver missing is not "hztpfoo" but "http" | 07:37 |
| wrtiii | haha! 2MB/s is so much nicer than 200k download speed :) | 07:37 |
| kz3 | wols : it says bash: /usr/lib/apt/methods/http: No such file or directory | 07:37 |
| KE1HA | My bad, i was reading that all wrong. | 07:37 |
| Lasers | Algorith: Yes. | 07:38 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: Thank you. | 07:38 |
| wols | kz3: I asked for the content of the directory. you already told us the error message. | 07:38 |
| rokra | urlin2u: omg | 07:40 |
| urlin2u | rokra, what's up? | 07:40 |
| rokra | urlin2u: it is not working , still booting on win7 directly without multiboot | 07:40 |
| wols | krazykrivda: what is your fstab line for it? | 07:40 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I think I have understand but need to check something can you help me , because I m bad with grub etc.. | 07:41 |
| wols | rokra: what is your grub-install line you used? | 07:41 |
| KE1HA | wols: I'm sure I've seen a bug report on that error though somwhere. | 07:41 |
| krazykrivda | wols: this is what mount returns for it: /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000) | 07:41 |
| urlin2u | rokra, can you boot the live natty cd and paste bin the output of sudo fdisk -lu | 07:41 |
| rokra | wols: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt then grub-install... sda | 07:42 |
| auronandace | rokra: do you have more than one diskdrive? | 07:42 |
| wols | KE1HA: could very well be. reinstalling apt should solve the problem possibly but I'm not sure, hence why I asked him. but he doesn't want to answer, so *shrug* | 07:42 |
| rokra | but I have 2 disks one ssd ( sda) and on sata sdb | 07:42 |
| kz3 | wols : ls /usr/lib/apt/methods | 07:42 |
| kz3 | bzip2 copy ftp gzip https mirror rsh | 07:42 |
| kz3 | cdrom file gpgv http lzma rred ssh | 07:42 |
| wols | rokra: I want you exact line, not the other stuff around | 07:42 |
| urlin2u | rokra, I will get you working it is area I'm quite familiar with. | 07:42 |
| auronandace | rokra: is windows on the sdb disk? | 07:42 |
| rokra | seems the mbr is on sdb because I disconnected the sata disk from the pc and I got the grub commadn line | 07:42 |
| urlin2u | rokra, looks like you have help here, call if you need mine. ;) | 07:43 |
| rokra | auronandace: no , the sda has 2 partition the windows and the linux , I m running both OS on the ssd disk n and the sata is just for diskspace | 07:43 |
| rokra | wols: I m looking the article to give you the exact line | 07:44 |
| rokra | urlin2u: you can help me as well :p | 07:44 |
| KE1HA | wols: dont know if it's exactly the same, but it's close: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/790315 | 07:45 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 790315 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/'http could not be found" [Undecided,Invalid] | 07:45 |
| wols | rokra: I don't care what the article says, I care what YOU typed! | 07:45 |
| rokra | wols: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 07:45 |
| urlin2u | rokra, multiple helpers can get things confused and frustrating. | 07:45 |
| rokra | wols: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 07:45 |
| wrtiii | What version of IRC is everyone running.. Are invision and the other one that started with an "E" still being used? | 07:46 |

| KE1HA | Konversation | 07:46 |
| Algorith | irssi | 07:46 |
| wols | KE1HA: IF he typed the error message in here properly, this is not at all like the bug you linked | 07:46 |
| rick__ | hey folks, i just installed ubuntu 11.04. Also, i have installed the Gnome remote desktop. But the problem is then when i do a remote desktop to my ubuntu, i do not see any of the open apps. | 07:46 |
| rick__ | Any ideas about that | 07:46 |
| wols | !polls | wrtiii | 07:47 |
| ubottu | wrtiii: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:47 |
| wrtiii | wols: really.. | 07:47 |
| rokra | urlin2u: do you know how can I check that the mbr is not on the sdb disk | 07:47 |
| wols | wrtiii: you don't want 1500 people in here answering your poll | 07:48 |
| rokra | urlin2u: because I didthe grub-install on the sda | 07:48 |
| KE1HA | wols: ok, i need to backtrack some then as I thought that's what he types. | 07:48 |
| wols | KE1HA: your bug was 'http while his typing was simply http | 07:48 |
| urlin2u | rokra, yes but wols can get you going, but there is a bootscript that will tell you that and much more. | 07:49 |
| krazykrivda | wols: any advice for me? ;-) | 07:49 |
| KE1HA | Ahh. 'http and not just http got it, tnx | 07:49 |
| wols | urlin2u: why. you said you have experience and could help him. you were right with confusion by too many helpers | 07:49 |
| urlin2u | !bootscript | 07:49 |
| wols | urlin2u: which is why I stopped | 07:49 |
| wrtiii | wols: It was not a poll and I did not ask what was "best" merely asked if anyone was still using scripts like invision. but then again I may just be splitting hairs here. I figure I might as well get comfortable I imagine as I get more fluid with ubuntu I'll be answering some questions myself when the oppurtunity comes up | 07:49 |
| urlin2u | rokra, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 07:49 |
| royst | hi all | 07:50 |
| wols | kz3: you can download the apt deb file and install with dpkg -i but it's a shot in the dark | 07:50 |
| wols | !info apt | 07:50 |
| ubottu | apt (source: apt): Advanced front-end for dpkg. In component main, is important. Version 0.8.13.2ubuntu4.1 (natty), package size 2052 kB, installed size 6208 kB | 07:50 |
| urlin2u | wols, no problem you can do this I just wanted to make sure there are set up . ;) | 07:50 |
| cmanns | What would cause ubuntu grub command line not to have commands like root | 07:51 |
| rokra | urlin2u: running | 07:51 |
| wols | cmanns: missing stage 1.5 and stage 2 files most likely. what dos "help" say? | 07:51 |
| wols | cmanns: and are you getting the grub menu or an error? | 07:52 |
| urlin2u | rokra, cool are you on the live cd as well? | 07:52 |
| wols | !pm > wrtiii | 07:52 |
| ubottu | wrtiii, please see my private message | 07:52 |

| cmanns | Like uh | 07:52 |
| cmanns | unknown command root wols | 07:52 |
| cmanns | I'm trying to use grub to usbboot an old laptop that wont usb boot due to bios | 07:53 |
| wols | cmanns: more explanation needed | 07:53 |
| urlin2u | rokra, good I wil look at the script, it sounds like you got the grub into the wrong mbr is all the problem is probably. | 07:53 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I have he result | 07:54 |
| cmanns | I tried grub> usb, says USB devices: (none) too which potentially sucks | 07:54 |
| theadmin | cmanns: Ubuntu uses GRUB2. | 07:54 |
| theadmin | cmanns: "root" isn't a command there, for instance | 07:54 |
| cmanns | My goal's to boot off USB but this laptop doesn't support it (Thus I pxe installed ubuntu) | 07:54 |
| theadmin | cmanns: Neither is "kernel", actually | 07:54 |
| rokra | urlin2u: Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda , Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb. | 07:54 |
| cmanns | theadmin, can grub2 boot from usb on a laptop that wont boot from usb? | 07:54 |
| bullgard4_ | Natty server 64 Bit with GNOME 2 ignores the key AltGr. Therefore I cannot login. the keyboard layout is displayed as »Deutschland«. How to fix this? This problem seems to be related to that in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514984. | 07:54 |
| cmanns | Appears grub can do this =/ | 07:54 |
| urlin2u | rokra, paste the whole generated file here then post a link to it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 07:54 |
| rokra | urlin2u: what is the best way to use? | 07:54 |

| Generic_Dumbass | Flashgot doesn't work on Linux I guess. What should I use instead? | 07:56 |
| urlin2u | rokra, cool hold on | 07:56 |
| theadmin | Generic_Dumbass: There's quite a few downloaders. jDownloader is a good example. | 07:57 |
| theadmin | Generic_Dumbass: Also, Flashgot does work on Linux | 07:57 |
| Generic_Dumbass | Ctrl-F7, my go to command, is grayed out in Firefox | 07:57 |
| theadmin | Generic_Dumbass: Except it's for Firefox... | 07:57 |
| Generic_Dumbass | so, at least part of it doesn't work | 07:57 |
| theadmin | Generic_Dumbass: idk | 07:57 |

| shorttech | theadmin, than kyo u | 07:59 |
| cmanns | How did I flood? | 07:59 |
| urlin2u | rokra, you have grub in the sda1 partition, and the /bootmgr /Boot/BCD which should be in sda1 in sdb1 | 07:59 |
| theadmin | cmanns: It's a bot, if you send messages too often it'll warn you | 08:00 |
| theadmin | like | 08:00 |
| theadmin | this | 08:00 |
| urlin2u | rokra, the grub in windows can be a problem. | 08:00 |
| rokra | urlin2u: what is /Boot/BCD?? | 08:00 |
| urlin2u | rokra, it is part of the W7 boot | 08:00 |
| rokra | urlin2u: what is the best way , can I move the mbr windows to sda1 which is the windows system disk? | 08:00 |
| bullgard4_ | How can I switch off compiz so that it will not start at reboot? | 08:00 |
| bullgard4_ | (Natty) | 08:01 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: System, Preferences, Appearance, Visual Effects, None | 08:01 |
| rokra | reading some article , I can see the command ms-sys ... ? | 08:01 |
| cmanns | ic theadmin | 08:01 |
| wols | bullgard4_: disabloe your display manager: /etc/init/gdm | 08:01 |
| theadmin | wols: lolwut? | 08:01 |
| Lasers | That'll take off compiz for sure. :) | 08:02 |
| wols | theadmin: depends what he wants. my solution might not be what he wants tho | 08:02 |
| urlin2u | rokra, that question does not make sense, what you need to do is remove grub from the sda1 partition and get the missing /bootmgr /Boot/BCD in | 08:02 |
| theadmin | wols: You don't typically kill flies with a hammer | 08:02 |
| theadmin | wols: He just wants to get rid of visual effects, that's all | 08:03 |
| wols | urlin2u: it doesn't matter what's in sda1 but only what is in sda | 08:03 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: How can I switch off compiz so that it will not start at reboot? I cannot login because Natty does not accept a AltGr keypress. | 08:03 |
| wols | theadmin: he has bug reporting to do which means he has a problem. so my solution is not as draconian as it seems | 08:03 |
| KE1HA | His config, form what he posted looks correct, as long as the grub2.cfg is right. | 08:03 |
| wols | bullgard4_: compiz has nothing to do with logging in. what do you actually need to not load? | 08:04 |
| urlin2u | wols, okay then read the script and fix it there are mssing files in the wsda1 that windows needs. | 08:04 |
| KE1HA | He should probably chroot in from a LiveCD and update grub | 08:04 |
| rokra | urlin2u: so what is the best thing to do :( | 08:05 |
| urlin2u | there a is also a grub in the W7 as well. | 08:05 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: I do not know exactly what you call "actually need to not load". -- What I can tell you is that I cannot login because my Natty does not accept the AltGr keypress. | 08:06 |
| urlin2u | rokra, do you have the W7 disc? | 08:06 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, sudo apt-get upgrade ... done | 08:06 |
| samy3 | what next? | 08:06 |
| wols | bullgard4_: the place you login has NOTHING to do with compiz. at all. what you use to login is the display manager | 08:06 |
| JZApples | I have an external RAID 10 array hooked up to my computer via USB, should I add that to fstab and if so, should I just use defaults for the options????? | 08:06 |
| KE1HA | samy3: cool, you should probably reboot the box as more than likely there was a Kernel update, then one logged back in, sudo apt-get install dkms | 08:07 |
| wols | bullgard4_: and to disable that, my advice from above was the right one | 08:07 |
| ikonia | JZApples: usb raid device, doesn't sound like a good idea | 08:07 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: On the bottom of the login manager, AFTER user selection, you should select your keyboard layout | 08:07 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: My problem seems to be related to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1514984. | 08:07 |
| samy3 | ok KE1HA :) | 08:07 |
| JZApples | ikonia, why, it works great. | 08:07 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: If that keyboard layout uses AltGr, it'll work | 08:07 |
| wols | JZApples: what filesystem on the raid? | 08:07 |
| ikonia | JZApples: is it a hardware raid device ? | 08:07 |
| mASOUD_42 | why is does not work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/660343/ | 08:07 |
| JZApples | wols, ext4 | 08:07 |
| JZApples | ikonia, yes, hardware raid | 08:07 |
| ikonia | JZApples: does it auto mount when you plug it in ? | 08:08 |
| urlin2u | rokra, lest fix windows firstr follow this link and when you have just W7 booting again run the script and post it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/660344/ | 08:08 |
| JZApples | ikonia, it does, but it might not always be turned on when the computer boots. | 08:08 |
| ikonia | JZApples: then leave it out of fstab | 08:08 |
| JZApples | What is the proc row in fstab for? | 08:09 |
| theadmin | JZApples: procfs | 08:09 |
| theadmin | JZApples: Do not take that out. | 08:09 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: I do not know how I could make good use of your statement: "[10:07]<theadmin>bullgard4_: If that keyboard layout uses AltGr, it'll work". It does not work. If I press a key combination involving a AltGr keypress when keying in my password, Natty ignores this AltGr keypress. | 08:10 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Before entering your password, look at the bottom. There is a keyboard layout selector. | 08:11 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Select yours, e.g. "German (Germany)" or whatnot. | 08:11 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Do not leave it as "US English" | 08:11 |
| JZApples | Will you guys review my fstab config before I save it and let me know if something looks fishy? /dev/md0 is a software raid array. http://paste.ubuntu.com/660346/ | 08:12 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: I know that it is there. And I have selcted "Germany". | 08:12 |
| wols | bullgard4_: is there a "Nodeadkeys" one maybe? | 08:12 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Okay, now that is totally odd. | 08:12 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, reboot and when i run sudo apt-get install dkms | 08:13 |
| samy3 | a error ocurs | 08:13 |
| samy3 | :( | 08:13 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Sorry, I just assumed you could've forgotten | 08:13 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: How can I find this out? | 08:13 |
| wildbat | JZApples: use UUID better but looks ok | 08:14 |
| wols | bullgard4_: check what gdm offers you for your selection | 08:14 |
| KE1HA | samy3: ok do this for us: sudo apt-get install dkms | pastebinit then post that link fer us. | 08:14 |
| punter | Is there an RSS reader software for Ubuntu that will connect to my Google Reader account? | 08:14 |
| Generic_Dumbass | so, does anyone actually have a youtube downloader working properly on Ubuntu narwhal? i'm about to stab myself in the face. | 08:14 |
| llutz_ | bullgard4_: what character do you need, isn't that available in any other (US, FR...) layout? | 08:14 |
| JZApples | wildbat, I read that I shouldn't use UUID on the software raid array because it might accidentally only mount one of the drives if I do that. There's technically 4. | 08:14 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, http://pastebin.com/xMVjRE7p | 08:15 |
| ikonia | JZApples: incorrect | 08:15 |
| ikonia | JZApples: don't put it in fstab though | 08:15 |
| bullgard4_ | llutz_: The character '@'. | 08:15 |
| JZApples | The directions here told me to include it. http://www.howtogeek.com/51873/how-to-setup-software-raid-for-a-simple-file-server-on-ubuntu/ | 08:15 |
| ikonia | JZApples: 1.) you are not using software raid 2.) you already have a raid device | 08:16 |
| ikonia | JZApples: it's important if you are going to follow guides that they apply to your system | 08:16 |
| JZApples | ikonia, i have two raid arrays setup. One software, one hardware. | 08:16 |
| ikonia | JZApples: so please don't include it in /etc/fstab | 08:16 |
| gulzar | anybody using e17? | 08:16 |
| llutz_ | bullgard4_: does it work, if you try US-layout,prssing shift-2? just as a workaround until you fix the real bug | 08:16 |
| KE1HA | samy3: Ok, i need to look at this fer a minute. Be right back with ya. | 08:17 |
| ikonia | JZApples: if it an external device you should not include it in /etc/fstab | 08:17 |
| JZApples | ikonia, software RAID in using SATA ports on my mobo. Hardware RAID is external enclosure via USB. | 08:17 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, take your time :) | 08:17 |
| KE1HA | samy3: how did you originally install Virtualbox ? | 08:18 |
| wols | KE1HA: do you know what in the logfile referenced in his paste is? | 08:18 |
| samy3 | if i'm right i think i did it with the synaptic | 08:18 |
| wols | KE1HA: line 29 | 08:18 |
| KE1HA | wols: do I know about it, yes, but I think the porblem is before that, insofaras, Vbox was installed B4 dkms, and that causes the issue. | 08:19 |
| rokra | urlin2u: sorry I was on call, windows is working | 08:19 |
| rokra | urlin2u: why do I need to fix windows? I can boot on windows | 08:20 |
| samy3 | KE1HA, now what to do? | 08:20 |
| cypha | is there a reason webpages look worse in linux than windows? | 08:20 |
| cmanns | man this makes no sense | 08:20 |
| KE1HA | samy3: what did you use to install Virtual box originally'? | 08:21 |
| cmanns | usb optical mouse works and dmesg shows it unplug/plug | 08:21 |
| wols | rokra: how many windows installations do you actually have btw? | 08:21 |
| cypha | reading any text in any program is simply worse in linux | 08:21 |
| samy3 | may be in root | 08:21 |
| cmanns | Yet this USB drive that works on my comptuers, win7, osx, other distro's. dmesg reads nothing if i plug it into all usb ports | 08:21 |
| urlin2u | rokra, well you could but the files for it were in the incorrect partition at least the boot Bcd, and you have grub in windows now, although you have not run the ubuntu. | 08:21 |
| rokra | wols: only1 | 08:21 |
| cmanns | Anything I can try or am I fubar'd? I already tried with usb legacy enabled/disable | 08:21 |
| wols | rokra: the bootinfo script says otherwise | 08:21 |
| gulzar | enlightenment was unable to import the theme. Are you sure this is really a valid theme | 08:21 |
| KE1HA | wols: the problem he's seeing is, he can't build the vbox kernel module becasue of two things, one, dkms wasn't installed and two, theres been kernel changes before he did the update/upgrade. | 08:22 |
| urlin2u | rokra, here is what the line in your script should be Boot files/dirs: /bootmgr /Boot/BCD /Windows/System32/winload.exe | 08:22 |
| rokra | wols: mm I understand why, before I was running win7 on the sata disk ( sdb) , then I bought the ssd disk and I reinstalled the win7 on the ssd disk which the sda. | 08:22 |
| wols | KE1HA: and you know that why? e.g. what is in the build log exactly? | 08:23 |
| rokra | wols: maybe there is some old track of the win7 on sdb | 08:23 |
| urlin2u | rokra, here is yours notice the difference. Boot files: /Windows/System32/winload.exe /boot/grub/core.img | 08:23 |
| cypha | how do I know if i'm running alsa for sound? | 08:24 |
| wols | rokra: last I checked, grub had a device.map, what's in that file? | 08:24 |
| KE1HA | wols: ok, well if you think Im worng, by all means, plase do assist. | 08:24 |
| wols | KE1HA: I'm just asking what is in the build log. any way to get at it? | 08:24 |
| mASOUD_42 | cypha : ps aux | grep alsa | 08:25 |
| rokra | wols: map for tomtom? | 08:25 |
| cypha | mASOUD_42: just something about color | 08:25 |
| bullgard4_ | llutz_: My Natty interprets the key combination Alt+2 as "Pos1" (= jump to the first position in a line). -- I have found out another workaround: I can log in as another user. | 08:25 |
| cypha | --color | 08:25 |
| rokra | wols: :D , seriously I don t know | 08:25 |
| mASOUD_42 | cypha so nothing called alsa is running | 08:26 |
| KE1HA | If he goes and looks at the dir listed, he can cat | pastebinit, but he' need to remove Vbox, install dkms, ensure the new kerneel headers are there and reinstall Vbox. | 08:26 |

| mASOUD_42 | cypha: ps aux|grep sound | 08:27 |
| cypha | mASOUD_42: still nothing | 08:27 |

| mASOUD_42 | sherorox: man cp | 08:28 |
| KE1HA | samy3: Please see PM | 08:28 |
| urlin2u | rokra, what we have here is to many irons in the fire helping you, and a misunderstanding on what shold be whre. | 08:28 |
| cypha | mASOUD_42: actually no | 08:28 |
| cypha | how do I fix this?? | 08:28 |
| urlin2u | rokra, if you had removed the sdb HD before the grub install W7 would not have booted. | 08:29 |
| wrtiii | 10.04 LTS Install from USB. Used unetbootin to create install usb. about 3rd step in install I get an error mounting CD-Rom. Tell it to try again and it comes up saying it couldn't want to try again. I say no and install will not proceed. | 08:29 |
| sherorox | mASOUD_42: cp and then the name of the file? | 08:29 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: "[10:14]<wols>bullgard4_: check what gdm offers you for your selection" <-- How can I check that? | 08:29 |
| wrtiii | Seems it is looking for an installation CD rather than trying to continue install from usb stick? | 08:30 |
| sherorox | mASOUD_42: where do I specify location | 08:30 |

| sherorox | mASOUD_42: on the desktop | 08:32 |

| mASOUD_42 | sherorox: while ~ is same as /home/USERNAME | 08:36 |
| cypha | how can I solve this problem from the command line | 08:37 |
| urlin2u | rokra, when you installed grub you put it in sda1 when it should have been sda5, and in the W7 install the boot Bcd were put in sdb1 instead of sda1. | 08:37 |
| cypha | ? | 08:37 |
| wols | urlin2u: he didn't put it in sda1 at all | 08:37 |
| sherorox | mASOUD_42: It won't let me make a copy of it. It says its the same file. Is there a way for me to change its name? | 08:38 |
| urlin2u | wols, from their boot script /Windows/System32/winload.exe /boot/grub/core.img | 08:38 |
| Kiwini | hey all, I tried out file sharing on my two machines, one was actually just a live usb to test, and now I can't get rid of the Ubuntu listing in my network, any ideas? | 08:38 |
| mASOUD_42 | cypha : try sudo apt-get install indicator-sound | 08:38 |
| cypha | mASOUD_42: I'm running openbox, btw | 08:39 |
| cypha | not gnome | 08:39 |
| urlin2u | wols, ubuntu hasn't booted the grub image can be removed in several way but that is sda1 | 08:39 |
| wols | urlin2u: it actually doesn't matter (much) where stage1 is | 08:39 |
| wols | urlin2u: his main problem is that for BIOS, his sdb seems to be harddisk 0x80 | 08:39 |
| mASOUD_42 | cypha : srry i dont even know what is open box | 08:39 |
| cypha | mASOUD_42: it didn't install anything | 08:40 |
| cypha | i think i already had that package | 08:40 |
| urlin2u | wols, correct but it helps to hce the boot bcd in the correct partition, otherwise it may be troublesome if sdb hd is removed as sdb1 is where they are. | 08:40 |
| rokra | urlin2u: wols to be honest , I m lost in your conversation :p | 08:40 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: As a keyboard my gdm allows me to select either »Gemany«, »USA« or »Other...«. When pressing »Other...«, another menu appears showing a large list of items. Even for Germany it allows me to selct 15 different items. For example »Germany without accent keys«. -- Which one should I try? | 08:41 |
| wols | cypha: lsmod | grep ^snd if you see several modules, you run alsa | 08:41 |
| cypha | yes i do | 08:41 |
| cypha | wols | 08:41 |
| cypha | basically, openbox prevents anything from running at startup | 08:42 |
| cypha | so I need to know how to manually start alsa i think | 08:42 |
| wols | bullgard4_: any not sure. ubuntu's naming is too "friendly" and not really standard for me | 08:42 |
| rokra | urlin2u: wols concerning sdb , indeed it seems to be the boot disk and it s not fine because it s only for storage, so is it possible to move the boot on the sda? | 08:42 |
| wols | cypha: it's already started. it's a kernel module... | 08:42 |
| cmanns | I also did lsusb and it doesn't show there either | 08:42 |
| wols | cypha: run alsamixer and see if your channels are unmuted | 08:42 |
| urlin2u | rokra, yes I posted a link to the commands from a W7 disc. | 08:43 |
| wols | cmanns: you sure the hardware is actually working? not a dead usb stick? | 08:43 |
| wols | urlin2u: changing boot order is done in BIOS only | 08:43 |
| cmanns | As said way up in the back log it works on almost a dozen different OS's | 08:43 |
| vindolin | someone else here with Intel 4965 wireless? my connection keeps crashing.. i have to reboot to get it working again :( dmesg -> http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/401992/ | 08:43 |
| vindolin | ^ 11.04 | 08:43 |
| cmanns | Thus I'm kinda confused why dmesg doesn't say when it's unplugged but it tells me when a mouse is, I read on ubuntu forums oddly formatted usb drives can fail automount? | 08:43 |
| cmanns | Wont they still spit out debug info in dmesg? | 08:44 |
| ugly | Any one know y ddi would tell me the image is too big when trying to copy a hd image to a file stored on an external 1gb? It only copies 4.3gb of the drive | 08:44 |
| wols | cmanns: kernel has nothing to do with automount or formatting | 08:44 |
| cypha | wols, yes they are | 08:44 |
| wols | ugly: your external drive is FAT formatted. that filesytem doesn't allow big files | 08:44 |
| cmanns | wols, I didn't say kernel, I said oddly formatted usb drives. | 08:44 |
| wols | cmanns: and I said the kernel doesn't care about formatting | 08:45 |
| cypha | wols, when I switched from kde to openbox, it worked fine, because whatever apps were already started in kde, stayed running when i changed to openbox | 08:45 |
| urlin2u | wols, why don't you take car of this as it has become rather ridiculous. ;) | 08:45 |
| cmanns | ah ok | 08:45 |
| cypha | however, ever since I restarted into openbox, sound hasn't worked | 08:45 |
| cmanns | Then what would cause this or any potential tips to fix it? All topics on ubuntu forums are saying ur stick is dead or formatted odd... | 08:45 |
| cypha | basically, because openbox doesn't inherit the autostart settings that were in kde | 08:45 |
| ugly | Crap you are right I didn't think about that... Anyway to defeat that without reformating the drive? | 08:46 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I m going to follow your instructions | 08:46 |
| wols | cmanns: "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" or any other wav file | 08:46 |
| urlin2u | wols, when they posted move the boot to sda1, I assume they mean the boot bcd. | 08:47 |
| wols | ugly: either split the file or reformat the drive | 08:47 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I m going to start the win7 cd to repair | 08:48 |
| rokra | urlin2u: cy | 08:48 |
| wols | ugly: from what I see he has grub on sda and the windows MBR on sdb. but he never sees a grub menu or error message but straight boots into windows. that means I think, the BIOS is set to boot from sdb first. the only way to fix this properly is to go into BIOS and use the SSD to boot first and be hdd 0x80 | 08:48 |
| wols | urlin2u: ^^ | 08:48 |
| bobbyhays | #go-nuts | 08:48 |
| theadmin | cmanns: Another quick way to test sound that will work without a .wav file: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp | 08:49 |
| cmanns | wols, huh? | 08:49 |
| urlin2u | wols, hey personally like you we just want them fixed.;) | 08:49 |
| cmanns | I'm not trying to test sound, I'm the guy who's working usb stick wont read or output to lsusb/fdisk -l /dmesg | 08:49 |
| sherorox | mASOUD_42: the command mkdir. How do I specify where I want to create the directory | 08:49 |
| wols | cmanns: you and cypha start both with c. not enough letters typed for autocomplete. have you tried a reboot? maybe your kernel got confused by your switching around the usb devices? but that's a WAG | 08:50 |
| Kiwini | Anyone available to possibly help me with some smb troubles? I can't seem to remove a computer from the network list that no longer shares. | 08:50 |

| cmanns | It's cool wols not nagging I always appriciate y'alls help :) | 08:51 |
| r12k4rd0 | Is there anyone can help me? | 08:51 |
| mASOUD_42 | sherorox: simply put it in front of mkdir like : mkdir ~/Desktop/testdir | 08:51 |
| cmanns | I've tried reboots, usb legacy on/off, and a few other things too. It never outputs to dmesg yet an usb mouse will, tried all 3 usb ports, etc | 08:51 |
| ugly | So I can use Dd to split the image then during restore use dd if=image{1-x} of=/dev/hda1 conv=noerror, sync bs=4k to restore | 08:51 |
| cmanns | Working on blacklisting uneeded kos | 08:51 |
| mASOUD_42 | cmanns: test the usb stick on some other pc .see if it's actually working | 08:52 |
| wols | ugly: man split | 08:53 |
| ugly | So I can use Dd to split the image then during restore use dd if=image{1-x} of=/dev/hda1 conv=noerror, sync bs=4k to restore? | 08:53 |
| cmanns | I have, I used another computer to put the data I need to grub boot on the USB :-) | 08:53 |
| cmanns | it's readable/works fine | 08:53 |
| wols | cmanns: does it work with the ubuntu live cd? | 08:53 |
| ugly | Ok ill Google too | 08:53 |
| ugly | Thanx | 08:53 |
| cmanns | wols, what you mean? | 08:53 |
| wols | cmanns: boot from the ubuntu live cd, plug it in. does the kernel recognize it in any way then? | 08:54 |
| cmanns | wols, I'm the guy who came for days about PXE... | 08:54 |
| wols | cmanns: or maybe can you plug it in and then paste dmesg | tail ? | 08:54 |
| cmanns | I'll try the net installer from PXE in a bit when I reboot os's on this pc | 08:54 |
| cmanns | Sure but there is absolutely no info about it in dmesg at all (I've sysadmin'd linux for over 6 years) I've seen this once before but this isn't one of those Sandisk's that fail on lots of OS's thus I came to you guys incase theres boot options to fix usb | 08:55 |
| sherorox | mASOUD_42: whats the point of rmdir if rm -r deletes occupied and empty directories? | 08:56 |
| lotuspsychje | anyone knows a logo desginer package for ubuntu? | 08:57 |
| cmanns | sherorox, -r is recrusive | 08:57 |
| cmanns | Try man rm :-) | 08:57 |
| wols | cmanns: if it works everywhere else but never on this PC, then it's a hardware problem | 08:57 |
| cmanns | Yes I'm sure it is (This laptop is fubar'd with ubuntu) | 08:57 |
| Ascavasaion | the past few times I started my Ubuntu machine the volume control has disappeared off the top bar. any ideas how to get it back? | 08:57 |
| wols | cmanns: unless you can show us another linux distro running on this PC where it does work. only then it is a ubuntu kernel problem | 08:57 |
| sherorox | cmanns: whats does recursive do? | 08:57 |
| cmanns | so I was mostly interested in any boot options or something to potentially fix usb | 08:58 |
| cmanns | sherorox, please learn2google | 08:58 |
| wols | cmanns: there are no magical "fix" things | 08:58 |
| cmanns | Sometimes :-( | 08:58 |
| sherorox | cmanns: I did im on ubuntus help page right now. But its too hard for me to understand. im only 12 | 08:58 |
| cmanns | :| | 08:59 |
| cmanns | Since when they let 12 year olds on irc | 08:59 |
| sherorox | ... | 08:59 |
| Ascavasaion | aaaah, I figured it out... added Indicator Applet. | 08:59 |
| cmanns | sherorox, http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/ | 08:59 |
| mASOUD_42 | sherorox: its seems that rmdir only deletes empty dirs. but rm does delete non empty ones too | 09:00 |
| cmanns | Anyways rm is remove, what does recrusive mean? Well if you don't know that I'm not your school teacher but it will keep going | 09:00 |
| Lasers | !recursive | 09:00 |
| cmanns | rmdir only removes dir's, like rm -rf / would delete everything under / it could | 09:00 |
| astraljava | cmanns: Please, mind your manners. No age-discrimation here, thank you. | 09:00 |
| * cmanns lol's on a time long ago he got an OS X user to do rm -rf /some-important-osx-dir due to him not reading about unix and it's commands | 09:01 | |
| cmanns | I'm not discriminating but my parents didn't let me on the internet, and I know other parents who don't still today. | 09:01 |

| smokleycastle | what is a good release of linux for a newbie? | 09:19 |
| astraljava | theadmin: #ubuntu-bugs when you're willing to help out with those | 09:19 |
| theadmin | smokleycastle: Please switch to PM | 09:19 |
| theadmin | astraljava: Help Ubuntu? Do I look THAT crazy? | 09:19 |
| jpds | theadmin: That's true for every software package. | 09:19 |
| urlin2u | rokra, do you have the commands I posted saved so you can copy and paste them from the W7 command line on the booted disc. | 09:19 |
| rokra | urlin2u: mistake the new one is posted here http://pastebin.com/yyt5Es5k | 09:19 |
| smokleycastle | theadmin i am using bitchx via an ssh connection from a centos vps through bash, I dont know how to switch to pm | 09:19 |
| rokra | urlin2u: which commands? | 09:20 |
| astraljava | smokleycastle: Meant to /msg theadmin <message_to_theadmin> but yeah, take it out of here, irrelevant. | 09:20 |
| urlin2u | rokra, well grub is gone the /bootmgr is missing though, if it was me I would boot the W7 disc again run the 4 commands and it should boot straight to W7 then, | 09:21 |
| === jirka is now known as jp_Hranice | ||
| urlin2u | rokra, if that happens we will install grub and call it a day. | 09:21 |
| rokra | urlin2u: so I going back to the win7 cd | 09:21 |
| astraljava | smokleycastle: I'd start with the LTS release, which would be 10.04 at this time. | 09:22 |
| rokra | urlin2u: cy in 10m | 09:22 |
| urlin2u | rokra, personally I would I would want evcerything in iy=ts place. | 09:22 |
| wrtiii | I have installed 2 x 160 GB Sata Drives in my server. My intention is to use clonezilla to create an image of the primary drive on the second drive once I have my installation stable but before I attempt anything new. Is clonezilla the best route for this? Is there a way to have the drive in the system at all times but have linux not recognize/mount? it as to ensure there is noway that disk | 09:22 |
| wrtiii | could get corrupted but still have it easily accesible when I boot to clonezilla for either restoring or saving an image? | 09:22 |
| astraljava | smokleycastle: Then when the need arises (missing drivers for some peripherals or whatever), you could upgrade/install a newer release. | 09:22 |
| Machtin | Any idea why it might be that I can use toslink in vlc, but my browsers won't play sound in flash and html5 (guess in everything else that has sound, too)? | 09:23 |
| sudokill | wrtiii, clonezilla is good yes | 09:23 |
| sudokill | wrtiii, it checks that the image is restorable and has always been good for me | 09:23 |
| jp_Hranice | I need help. I have posible bug. During installing I can't fill My name, Computer name, Password, ... | 09:24 |
| wrtiii | sudokill: thanks, just keep thinking that ubuntu might have it's own app for this sort of thing or somethin, lol | 09:24 |
| theadmin | jp_Hranice: Can't fill? Are they greyed out? Or just can't type? | 09:24 |
| sudokill | wrtiii, i havent tried any others except acronis. i think for pure imaging clonezilla is very good | 09:25 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I started the laptop to stay online | 09:25 |
| wrtiii | Now I just gotta find another usb to configure for it ;) | 09:26 |
| jp_Hranice | theadmin: It§ filled by gray signs for fill and i cant place cursor there. | 09:26 |
| sudokill | jp_Hranice, maybe the livecd hasnt finished loading, try rebooting if it hangs | 09:27 |
| sudokill | and try again | 09:27 |
| urlin2u | rokra, good idea I think you are about set the commands should set the W7 correct, and if it boots staright in I will give you the commands for seting up grub. | 09:27 |
| sudokill | sometimes it can just bug up like that | 09:27 |
| theadmin | sudokill's right, jp_Hranice, this does happen from time to time, do try a reboot | 09:27 |
| rokra | urlin2u: wait win7 boot cd is slow | 09:27 |
| jp_Hranice | theadmin: It's during installing alfa 3 | 09:27 |
| urlin2u | rokra, the commnds for grub from the natty cd booted after you get windows 7 to boot. | 09:27 |
| theadmin | jp_Hranice: Alpha? Do you mean you're messing with Ubuntu 11.10? | 09:28 |
| sudokill | jp_Hranice, oh if its alpha maybe it is a bug | 09:28 |
| urlin2u | rokra, is it a recovery, usually it is a dvd? | 09:28 |
| theadmin | jp_Hranice: If that's true for you, do visit #ubuntu+1 | 09:28 |
| ugly | llutz: that makes sense. zcat /image.gz* ¦ dd of=/dev/hda1 | 09:28 |
| rokra | urlin2u: dvd installation in monde repair | 09:28 |
| bullgard4_ | Natty reports: "System program problem detected." What package can I associate this bug to when reporting to Launchpad? | 09:28 |
| jp_Hranice | theadmin: OK, thanks | 09:28 |
| llutz_ | ugly: zcat image >/dev/hda1 | 09:28 |
| rokra | urlin2u: ok it is searching for error | 09:28 |
| urlin2u | rokra, sometimes it will run a autofix. | 09:29 |
| rokra | urlin2u: automatically it detected a problem with the windows boot manager | 09:29 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I applied this thing or it s better to go by cmd and type your 4 commands? | 09:29 |
| urlin2u | rokra, it may fix it, with grub in there before it wouldn't runn probably. | 09:29 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Likely related to gnome, I *think*, if it reports it via a GUI | 09:30 |
| trijntje | Hi all, I'm stuck with unmet dependencies so I cant install or remove anything. I've already tried sudo apt-get install -f and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a, with no effect. What else can I do to get this sorted out? | 09:30 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I did fix it auto | 09:30 |
| rokra | urlin2u: ok bootmgr is missing | 09:30 |
| urlin2u | rokra, if it is not a auto repair go to the command line and run the commands the autorepair can take forever and is suggested to be run 3 times. | 09:30 |
| ugly | Tnx lluz | 09:31 |
| theadmin | trijntje: If you have aptitude installed, try using that | 09:31 |
| urlin2u | rokra, did it notice the missing part? | 09:31 |
| theadmin | trijntje: It reports problems in a very descriptive way | 09:31 |
| rokra | urlin2u: yes it notice a problem with the windows boot mlanager | 09:31 |
| ugly | It is multiple files will zcat still work by combing all of them? | 09:32 |
| urlin2u | rokra,yo can reboot and se if it works, if not just reboot and run the commands your choice really. | 09:32 |
| ugly | In order? | 09:32 |
| trijntje | theadmin: I have aptitude installed, running it now | 09:32 |
| rokra | urlin2u: it is not working , i have again the bootmgr is missing at boot | 09:33 |
| JZApples | Anyone have any ideas for this error? I get it when trying to send an email via mdadm. sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory | 09:33 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: The package "gnome" is not installed. So I shluld not reference it. | 09:33 |
| urlin2u | rokra, boot the W7 disc and run the 4 commands that should fix it. | 09:34 |
| llutz_ | JZApples: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 09:34 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: What about "ubuntu-desktop"? | 09:34 |
| rokra | urlin2u: this is booting on the win7 cd | 09:34 |
| urlin2u | rokra, correct here is the link again just to be sure http://paste.ubuntu.com/660344/ | 09:35 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: Ubuntu does not provide a package "ubuntu-desktop". | 09:35 |
| trijntje | theadmin: this is the output aptitude gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660374/ | 09:35 |

| theadmin | gedO: In #winehq and at http://winehq.org | 09:36 |
| gedO | Is there any wine chanel? | 09:36 |
| samy3 | <3 ya ke1ha | 09:36 |
| JZApples | Can I use postfix with my hotmail account? | 09:36 |

| gedO | theadmin: Thank you | 09:36 |
| LarsT | I want to change from Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit to Canonical Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3. Is it usuable or better to take 9.04 ? | 09:36 |
| rokra | urlin2u: ready to go | 09:36 |
| JZApples | ikonia, just to send an email if mdadm reports an error. | 09:37 |
| rokra | urlin2u: so first succesfully | 09:37 |
| ikonia | JZApples: that's nothing to do with hotmail | 09:37 |
| theadmin | trijntje: Huh... wow, this is a mess, I can't make sense of it :( | 09:37 |
| theadmin | trijntje: Ask someone with a better APT knowledge I guess, sorry. | 09:37 |
| JZApples | ikonia, can i use it to send my hotmail account an email? how do i configure it for that? | 09:38 |
| rokra | urlin2u: the first time the scanos show me total identified installation : 1 | 09:38 |
| rokra | urlin2u: now I have 0 | 09:38 |
| ikonia | JZApples: postfix is just an mta - you need a client to send the mail | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | JZApples: just use a nullmailer, msmtp or ssmtp for that task, much easier than postfix | 09:38 |
| JZApples | and i can do that with mdadm? | 09:39 |
| llutz_ | JZApples: i don't know how mdadm sends mails, but it should work | 09:39 |
| urlin2u | rokra, are you sure you removed the bootflag from sdb1 not sda1 | 09:39 |
| wols | trijntje: apt-cache policy libjack0 and apt-cache policy libjack-jackd2 | 09:40 |
| * theadmin doesn't even know what a mdadm is | 09:40 | |
| wols | theadmin: raid configuration utility | 09:40 |
| trijntje | theadmin: no problem, thanks for your time | 09:40 |
| theadmin | wols: ...Okay, how on Earth can *that* be related to sending mail? | 09:40 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest51444 | ||
| llutz_ | theadmin: i guess it sends notifications on errors etc like crond | 09:41 |
| rokra | urlin2u: yes sure | 09:41 |
| theadmin | llutz_: Ah, would make sense | 09:41 |
| ikonia | JZApples: mdadm uses the mail command to send mail | 09:41 |
| rokra | urlin2u: should be in the pastebin I did | 09:41 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I have not that link because I changed irssi | 09:41 |
| rokra | rokra: but you still have this link | 09:41 |
| JZApples | ikonia, so how do i configure that? | 09:41 |
| === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker | ||
| ikonia | JZApples: mail is just the client, you need to configure an mta such as postfix, or a remote smtp relay (such as your ISP's) | 09:42 |
| urlin2u | rokra, the W7 showed up I'm not sure of a 1 or 0 there. The last pastebin shows a bootflag on sda1 and sdb1 you did the removal after the pastebin I believe | 09:42 |
| trijntje | wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660376/ | 09:43 |
| wols | trijntje: you installed libjack-jackd2 from some 3rd party repo or ppa which is not available anymore. remove it | 09:43 |
| wols | trijntje: the problem happened since you mixed repos | 09:44 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| urlin2u | rokra, guess since you have the W7 n=bootloader in the sdb hd and the sda hd you want to make sure you running the commands on the sda1 in sda | 09:44 |
| trijntje | wols: yeah, i'm running bodhi linux, which uses the natty repo, plus some modifications I think | 09:46 |
| wols | !bodhi | 09:46 |
| theadmin | trijntje: Unfortunately, we can't support derivs | 09:46 |
| theadmin | !derivatives | trijntje | 09:47 |
| ubottu | trijntje: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 09:47 |
| trijntje | theadmin, wols: I know, I was just hoping there would be some apt or dpkg magick known to get me out of this mess | 09:47 |
| trijntje | and since #ubuntu is a really big channel, I thought I'd try it here | 09:47 |
| rokra | urlin2u: yyyyess , one thing done | 09:47 |
| rokra | urlin2u: windows 7 is back | 09:47 |
| theadmin | trijntje: Unfortunately the channel policy does not allow us to support derivs | 09:48 |
| rokra | urlin2u: I m able to boot on it , I restart the ubuntu live cd now | 09:48 |
| astraljava | trijntje: You need to remove libjack-jackd2, so that libjack0 can be installed. That's all we can do for the matter here. | 09:48 |
| mega1_ | How do I get ubuntu server 10.04 to format unpartctioned HD space | 09:49 |
| theadmin | mega1_: Use fdisk or cfdisk. | 09:49 |
| urlin2u | rokra, yipee, yah boot the natty and run sudo fdisk -lu and post that in a pastbin and I will give you the commands to reload grub | 09:49 |
| wols | mega1_: first you put that space into a partition. then you create a filesystem on that | 09:49 |
| trijntje | theadmin, wols: I understand. Thanks a lot for you time, I will try the bodhi forum if I cant work it out | 09:50 |

| urlin2u | rokra, wiping the mbr is risky I think it is just the files there. | 10:06 |

| mr_daniel | I have a remote server, where I usually modify files with vi or nano. I ssh into it with a normal user account and then later switch to root with su to edit specific files. | 10:21 |
| theadmin | mr_daniel: Great, so your problem is? | 10:21 |
| mr_daniel | I want to to switch to a GUI-editor, e.g. Noteedit++ on Windows or gedit on Ubuntu. But I don't know how to make a su in a SFTP-session. | 10:22 |
| bazhang | mr_daniel, its sudo -i not su | 10:22 |
| mr_daniel | So my problem is how can I edit text files in a GUI-editor, where the remote ssh-server only allows nomal users to login, but I need root priveliges to edit specific files | 10:22 |
| === dsafds is now known as thesss___ | ||
| bazhang | mr_daniel, gksudo for gui | 10:22 |
| mr_daniel | bazhang: well, in my case it is su, because the machines is running Ubuntu Server edition | 10:23 |
| wols | mr_daniel: install gedit on the remote box and run an X server at the one you are sitting where the screen and keyboard are | 10:23 |
| mr_daniel | wols: maybe this could work | 10:24 |
| wols | mr_daniel: and use ssh X forwarding. ssh -X | 10:25 |

| rrajbe | I have tried changing repositry server to main and updated and again tried to install apache2 | 10:29 |
| rrajbe | but the problem of dependency still persists.... here is a log... http://paste.ubuntu.com/660399/ any help will be really apreciated ... | 10:31 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Could you provide the `sudo apt-get update` output in pastebin, please? | 10:32 |
| rrajbe | @astraljava : Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/660401/ | 10:32 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Thanks! `apt-cache policy apache2` next, please? :) Seems you have some other repos there, that might be making things weird. | 10:34 |
| simonf_ | Morning, got a problem trying to change apache2.conf file. Says I don't have permissions. I built server, am only user, and set up as administrator. | 10:34 |

| astraljava | rrajbe: And while you're at it, please pastebin `ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d/`, too. | 10:35 |

| squaregoldfish | On a new install of natty, I'm getting constant disk writes of 1Mb every few seconds. iotop says it's jdb that's doing it. I'm using ext4 partitions - any way to reduce the write frequency? | 10:36 |

| rrajbe | @astraljava : Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/660404/ | 10:36 |
| wols | squaregoldfish: just don't run jdb? | 10:37 |
| rrajbe | @astraljava : that scooter software is bcos i ve installed beyond compare | 10:37 |
| wols | gralco: run the ones provided by ubuntu | 10:37 |

| wols | gralco: nvidia drivers are closed source software. what do you expect ubuntu to change? | 10:38 |
| squaregoldfish | @wols I thought jdb was the journal manager. Isn't that kind of important? | 10:38 |
| szal | gralco: define 'latest Nvidia drivers' | 10:38 |
| gralco | szal: anything past 173.xx.xx | 10:39 |
| szal | gralco: actual version number you used please | 10:39 |

| gralco | szal: most recently 180.13 | 10:40 |
| squaregoldfish | @wols No processes. Pretty sure it's a kernel thing. | 10:40 |
| gralco | wols: 8800m gts | 10:40 |
| szal | gralco: for what card? | 10:40 |
| wols | simonf_: sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 10:40 |
| gralco | szal: 8800m gts | 10:41 |
| wols | gralco: why do you use legacy nvidia drivers? | 10:41 |
| gralco | wols: I'm sorry that was a typo I meant 280.13 | 10:41 |
| * szal has no idea what the 180 is supposed to be for, but the 8800 runs on nvidia-current (by default 270; it displayed a freezing bug that was fixed in 275 and, afaics, didn't reappear in 280) | 10:41 | |
| wols | gralco: 280 is not a ubuntu provided driver | 10:42 |
| gralco | szal: that doesn't seem to be true for me | 10:42 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Your security repo isn't being indexed, hang on. | 10:43 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Yep, missed it first but it's not in the sources.list at all. | 10:44 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Add the lines found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660413/ to your sources.list, update, and try the installation again. | 10:46 |
| * szal still thinks that nVidia have seriously b0rked something w/ the 8800; I remember the cries of dismay when it came out | 10:46 | |
| szal | iirc it was the first GF8 | 10:46 |

| spexi | Hi! Is there any way to use two different wallpapers, because I'm having two monitors? Either with one big 3360x1200 wallpaper or separate 1920x1200 and 1440x900 wallpapers. I'm using Natty and with classic view, not Unity. | 10:46 |
| wols | szal: it was the longest running card ever. you still can buy it today in form of the gts250 | 10:47 |
| wols | szal: it's pretty much the most successful nvidia card ever :) | 10:47 |
| astraljava | fratz: `du -h --max-depth=1 /path/to/partition` will show you which directories hold the data. | 10:47 |
| fratz | thx | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | lol | 10:48 |
| rrajbe | @astraljava : That solved my issue... thanks a lot... :) | 10:49 |
| astraljava | rrajbe: Good to hear. No prob. It was pretty damn time you added it anyway, you were missing security updates all along. :) | 10:50 |
| simonf_ | wol, thanks - that's sorted out the editing of the conf file | 10:51 |

| wols | fratz: LANG=C <command you want to give us the output> | 10:57 |
| theadmin | fratz: Try this: LANG=C bash | 10:57 |
| jrib | lotuspsychje: inkscape or gimp | 10:57 |
| astraljava | fratz: Okay, what if you add sudo in front of the command? And yes, please add what wols and theadmin just suggested. | 10:57 |
| wols | squaregoldfish: maybe tune2fs has a setting for it | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | jrib: gimp is little heavy for what i need | 10:57 |
| jrib | lotuspsychje: not sure why that would be a problem, but try inkscape I guess (it's for vector graphics) | 10:58 |
| wols | fratz: I am german so I understand the error message. it's "I/O Error". check your kernel log | 10:58 |
| fratz | how to check the kernel log? | 10:58 |
| theadmin | fratz: It's around /var/log | 10:58 |
| lotuspsychje | jrib: i just was wondering if anything specific for logo's existed for ubuntu | 10:59 |
| theadmin | fratz: Search for any files that start with "kernel" | 10:59 |
| wols | theadmin: it's kern.log there. and in his case, simply dmesg is enough | 10:59 |
| jrib | lotuspsychje: I'd say both inkscape and gimp are useful as logo designing tools | 10:59 |

| cypha | what does %U do after chromium-browser? | 11:03 |
| fratz | the ext3 partition is on a external 120GB HDD and the attributes say, that 65GB are used, but the file-browser only shows a single 1,2 MB .xml file | 11:03 |
| jrib | cypha: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html | 11:04 |
| jrib | cypha: if you drag a url to the .desktop it will open it in chromium | 11:04 |
| fratz | du -h .... did tell me, that there are still files on the partition but there is an I/O-Error | 11:05 |
| cypha | jrib: what do you mean drag it to .desktop? | 11:05 |
| cypha | drag it into a folder called .desktop? | 11:05 |
| jrib | cypha: no, drag it the .desktop file for chromium | 11:05 |
| cypha | or drag a url to the desktop at all | 11:05 |
| MrNthDegree | cypha, IIRC %U means URL | 11:05 |
| MrNthDegree | cypha, it's there so when you open a file or URL with it and you get an Open With prompt, selecting Chromium from the list will open it | 11:06 |
| MrNthDegree | as GNOME/KDE take their Open With options from the applications list | 11:06 |
| cypha | hmm. k | 11:06 |
| cypha | so if I run chromium from the command line with the %U, i can do what? | 11:07 |
| MrNthDegree | cypha, imagine you have a .htm file you wanna open and it's not already associated ;) | 11:07 |
| cypha | k | 11:07 |
| MrNthDegree | cypha, makes no difference | 11:07 |
| cypha | continue with your example | 11:08 |
| cypha | :) | 11:08 |
| MrNthDegree | cypha, it's there for the benefit of Open With when you double click unassociated stuff | 11:08 |

| edi | can you please help me w/ my graphic card output? | 11:22 |
| wrtiii | I've been having a large issue with installing linux over the past week. I believe I had finally determined what the problem has been. While partitioning my drives I noticed that the installation usb was labeled hda, with my primary drive being hdb and secondy hdc naturally. Everything appears to go smoothly until I reboot, the pc posts and screen goes to black with a blinking cursor and it | 11:22 |
| wrtiii | hangs there. This time I installed as per every other time except when it asked me if I wished to install the bootloader to the mbr I removed the usb stick. It now has given me a fatal error as it is unable to install to hda. | 11:22 |
| edi | hi html | 11:22 |
| theadmin | html: What I mean is, reply to Jim_Parsons' question here. | 11:22 |
| theadmin | html: Not in PM | 11:22 |
| wrtiii | Is there something I can do pre installation to correct this, or am I best to replace the usb stick and let it install the bootloader to it. then boot from the usb stick and somehow ( I would need help with this ) install the bootloader to the correct drive after the installation? | 11:22 |
| astraljava | fratz: Either open the log file in an editor, like `gksudo gedit /var/log/syslog`, or use the grepping like `sudo grep Ext3 /var/log/syslog`. | 11:23 |
| html | theadmin, ok | 11:23 |
| wrtiii | I have had this problem across multiple machines and multiple distros. Is this something I am doing incorrectly to end up with the usb stick registered as hda during the installtion? | 11:24 |

| html | wrtiii, so if i dont put ur name , just know it s you | 11:52 |
| theadmin | anadon: Well, your browser's plugins folder. | 11:52 |
| synapse | anadon: I think you need to link that to .flashplugins if you are talking about the flash addon | 11:53 |
| anadon | is it /usr/firefox? | 11:53 |
| anadon | damn...is there a guide to this? | 11:53 |

| ZwIrc | Hi | 11:53 |
| wols | chenthu: wifi | 11:53 |
| wrtiii | html: 10.04 LTS ran me straight back into the same black screen upon rebooting after installation. I noticed while troubleshooting tonight @ the partitioning stage of the installation that the USB Stick was HDA followed by my two harddrives HDB and C. So on my most recent installation when it asked me if I wished to install the bootloader to the MBR I removed the usb stick before selecting | 11:53 |
| wrtiii | yes. I then received a fatal error saying that HDA was not found. | 11:53 |
| ZwIrc | need some help! Lost some important files. | 11:53 |
| wols | chenthu: e.g. nm, wicd, etc | 11:54 |
| chenthu | wols: streaming from my mobile (android) | 11:54 |
| theadmin | ZwIrc: Do you want a file recovery program? If so, look testdisk up | 11:54 |
| szal | anadon: is it the 64bit 11.0 beta? | 11:54 |
| wrtiii | html: this actually showed up earlier this week because after every installation I would have to recreate my usb stick because booting from it a 2nd time booted directly to the grub boot loader. | 11:54 |
| synapse | andon: is this hava or flash? | 11:54 |
| synapse | hava/java | 11:54 |
| anadon | szal: yup | 11:54 |
| ZwIrc | I got help to create a RAMDISK. I have stored many server files there, but what i did not know was after i did a recovery on the computer, all files in RAMDISK disapeared | 11:54 |
| html | wrtiii, did you check the bois? update it? | 11:54 |
| szal | anadon: there's a PPA for that | 11:54 |
| anadon | synapse: its adobe flash | 11:54 |
| wols | ZwIrc: a ramdisk is in memory. everytime you reboot whatever is in there is gone | 11:55 |
| wrtiii | html: So I am well aware now that the linux installation has been installing linux to the selected disk but does not follow that same selection when installing the bootloader and defaults to HDA MBR. | 11:55 |
| szal | anadon: https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash | 11:55 |
| chenthu | wols: i am not using my wifi right now...but if i was using it would be using nm | 11:55 |
| ZwIrc | wols: but id did never disapear before when i rebooted | 11:55 |
| wols | chenthu: if wpasupp runs, you are using it | 11:55 |
| ZwIrc | was only this time when using a recovery | 11:55 |
| synapse | anadon: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Flash | 11:55 |

| synapse | anadon: copy libflashplayer.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and flashplayer.xpt to your Mozilla components directory. | 11:56 |
| ZwIrc | how to recover them? | 11:56 |
| wrtiii | html: What I am unsure of now is my best course of action. -- Yes the bios is now up to date. -- Should I boot from the usb stick into the installation and then somehow ( I am not knowledgable enough to know how ) install a new copy of the bootloader to the mbr on the correct drive. Or is there something I am doing incorrectly prior to installation that is causing the USB Stick to show up | 11:56 |
| wrtiii | as HDA during installation? | 11:56 |
| html | wrtiii, check out yumi, xboot, , or a multi -boot theme, then try it out on a vurtual box | 11:56 |
| anadon | synapse: I have no idea where those are....the linux fs makes no sense to me. | 11:57 |
| synapse | anadon: sudo updatedb and then run "locate firefox | grep plugins" | 11:57 |
| chenthu | theadmin: it ried it says.... "cat/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan0.pid: No such file or directory" | 11:58 |
| wrtiii | html: are those alternative boot loaders? | 11:58 |

| bullgard4_ | What keyboard layout alternatives to "nodeadkeys" does the Ubuntu-Server 11.04 amd64 offer? | 12:23 |
| dr_willis | html, you can try just burning it to a cd/dvd. but most likely that wont work. | 12:23 |
| ikonia | most burning support will support .img extensions | 12:23 |
| szal | ZwIrc: you gotta be kidding.. RAM is a non-permanent or volatile storage, if you delete something from it, it's gone | 12:24 |
| wols | html: maybe you should check what kind of data your .img is? just cause it has some sort of file extension doesn't mean a thing | 12:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | szal, He's been told that, several times, now. :-( | 12:24 |
| szal | ZwIrc: same if you turn off the power supply | 12:24 |
| dr_willis | szal, years ago my AMIGA had a 'Rad:' drive. a Non voliatile ram drive that could survive a reboot. :) sort of a neat trick.. but thats OT.. but still a COOL feature i wonder why its not doable in mondern OS's | 12:25 |
| szal | dr_willis: iirc, the RAD did survive a reboot, but not switching off the machine | 12:26 |
| ZwIrc | szal :( Just think it is strange, because the files have ben there in 3 months | 12:26 |
| ZwIrc | with rebots | 12:26 |
| ZwIrc | now they are gone | 12:26 |
| dr_willis | szal, yep. I said that. :) you could even defrag it.. | 12:26 |
| ZwIrc | how do i see that it is realy a ramdisk? | 12:27 |

| dr_willis | html, that disrto may be dead and not worth messing with also. the whole using 'img' files was somthing used like 2 yrs ago. | 12:27 |
| dr_willis | html, test it in virtualbox. rename it to whatevber.iso see if vbox can boot it via the cd. | 12:28 |
| dr_willis | html, or just fire up k3b and have it burn it to a DVD | 12:28 |
| wols | dr_willis: cause a reboot changes to real mode. and a kernel upon entering protected mode pretty much clears/discards the memory | 12:28 |
| wols | dr_willis: one can loop mount ISO files | 12:29 |

| synapse | I just updated to 11.04 and all of my keyboard shortcuts for virtual workspaces are displaying crazy rendering problems with my nvidia 9800gt.. any help? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | html: why do you want it in iso format | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | html, it can burn it/convert it on the fly. but the whole 'img' format is a bit of a vague standard. | 12:29 |
| wols | dr_willis: what standard? | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | html, it may be a simple hard disk image dump | 12:29 |
| dr_willis | the pick your own standard and name it what you want standard. | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | lets name it .bin :) | 12:30 |
| dr_willis | html, test it in vbox. would be the quick and easy way to see if it can just boot it as an cd/dvd. | 12:30 |
| ikonia | no need for vbox, | 12:30 |
| ikonia | just run file against it | 12:30 |
| html | iso's are easy for me , anything esle and im lost | 12:30 |
| szal | dr_willis: neither .img nor .bin are standards; they are generic extensions for raw images of data including the underlying filesystem | 12:30 |
| wols | ikonia: I asked for it for half an hour now. I guess he has me on /ignore | 12:31 |
| dr_willis | szal, thats my point. :) | 12:31 |
| ikonia | html: burning .img file that is a cd image is exactly the same as burning a cd image that's in an iso format | 12:31 |

| phatjoe | dr_willis: I did try it with VLC also.. couldn't play a thing.. anyways.. thx for the help guys ;) | 12:42 |
| dr_willis | krazykrivda, you could try installing and running ntfs-config, it can tweak the options ntfs and vfat are mounted with. But its a bit of a flakey app. OR you can mount it by hand with better options. | 12:42 |

| alessioalex | But I want the page 404.html | 13:08 |
| alessioalex | from public | 13:08 |
| wols | knoppix: we don't support knoppix | 13:08 |
| alessioalex | What do I have to do so that it displays that page, not that stupid "no route" message? | 13:09 |
| florin91 | @wols And how can I own those files? | 13:09 |
| chenthu | krazykrivda: does it mount automatically or u mount it manually? | 13:09 |
| m0ijk | Good evening. I just installed ubuntu on a stationary computer. just got it so I know little about it (was my fathers). It's a core 2 duo with 4gb of ram and ati 4850 - thats all I know for now. However, the fans runs like crazy. so I'm trying to get them under control. installed lm-sensors and run the script. however, it just report the cpu fan. nothing from the other fans. what is the easiest way to get fan control running, and/or what to do | 13:09 |
| m0ijk | with the 0 RPM fans? | 13:09 |
| wols | !permissions | florin91 | 13:09 |
| ubottu | florin91: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 13:09 |
| knoppix | it should be linux in general, thanks anyway | 13:09 |
| krazykrivda | chenthu: i can do either.. right now I have been using fstab to mount.. and have been for years.. i can manual mount if that woudl solve my probelm thopuhg.. | 13:09 |
| wols | m0ijk: which fan "runs like crazy"? | 13:09 |
| krazykrivda | chenthu: running the 'mount' command i get this... /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=002) | 13:10 |
| html | dr_willis, thanks it worked | 13:10 |
| chenthu | krazykrivda: u could try manual mount by mounting to a dir created by u on desktop | 13:10 |
| m0ijk | wols: there is a huge one on the chassis, one on the cpu and one on the psu. so probably one of them | 13:10 |
| dr_willis | html, which did? | 13:10 |
| krazykrivda | chenthu: can u give specuific cmd for me to type into terminal and I will try | 13:11 |
| compdoc | Janine, according to google, ppl have that mouse working in ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. which version you using? | 13:11 |

| mohsin^ | I am using lubuntu 11.04 .. on T61. i am trying to reduce mouse sensitivity but UI does not work | 13:13 |
| wols | m0ijk: if it's the trackpoint: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Sensitivity_.26_Speed | 13:14 |
| chenthu | krazykrivda: create a folder in desktop, then check whether you have your ur disk already mounted if so use "umount" to unmount... the remount it to the folder u creared...for eg i f i have created a folder on desktop name" hd" i use this "sudo u mount /dev/sda5" and then use "sudo mount /dev/sda5/ /home/user/hd | 13:14 |
| Janine | compdoc, thanks! | 13:15 |
| compdoc | Janine, looks like its a lot of work - good luck | 13:15 |
| wols | mohsin^: if it's the trackpoint: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Sensitivity_.26_Speed | 13:15 |

| sgo11 | wols, when the cache file exceeds 40M. it's removed. | 13:53 |
| user__ | sgo11 you can download the file using easy youtube downloader ! its easy | 13:54 |

| Faderhval | mjellow #ubuntu, quick question does linux have a LAN protocol like samba native and only for linux clients? | 14:01 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | jify: its unlikely its the OS. sticky mouse maybe? | 14:01 |
| |Slacker| | nfs? | 14:01 |
| wols | Faderhval: all network filesystems work on a variety of OSes | 14:01 |
| EgyParadox | Faderval:nfs | 14:01 |
| EgyParadox | Faderhval* | 14:01 |
| escott | jify, use "xev" to see if there are multiple clicks being sent | 14:02 |
| theadmin | Faderhval: sshfs | 14:02 |
| jify | TheEvilPhoenix: thats a relief, ill try and change the mouse | 14:02 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | jify: it could just be the actual computer (not OS) interpreting a double click as a quad click... | 14:02 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | jify: does anything happen when you click *once* on said terminal button/link/launcher/ | 14:03 |
| Ulfalizer | theadmin: ok, doesn't have the latest in that case | 14:03 |
| Faderhval | so if i want to do transfer files between two linux machines over LAN the best way would be nfs? sshfs? | 14:04 |
| jify | TheEvilPhoenix: no it just pops up two terminals everytime i click | 14:04 |
| theadmin | Ulfalizer: That's Ubuntu, it commonly doesn't have latest software. | 14:04 |
| wols | Faderhval: samba | 14:04 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | jify: so you didn't answer my question. WHen you click ***only once***, does anything happen? Simple yes/no. | 14:04 |
| jify | TheEvilPhoenix: no nothing happens | 14:05 |
| Faderhval | i have samba configured but isn't that for windows shares? i was wondering if there were something like that but for linux | 14:05 |
| rigved | Faderhval: my suggestion would be sshfs, because it's secure and very easy to setup...can be integrated into the file browser using bookmarks also | 14:05 |
| BluesKaj | Faderhval, ssh works well, if you want an automount ni fstab , then install sshfs | 14:05 |
| Faderhval | sshfs seems to be the answer, does it work with mget and get and so on im guessing? | 14:06 |
| Ulfalizer | theadmin: any common places where you might find packages for later versions? manually installing programs overwriting files tracked by the package manager might be a bad idea, right? | 14:07 |
| wols | Faderhval: it's not the answer | 14:07 |
| escott | Ulfalizer, if you want a newer upstream version there might be a ppa, but usually there isnt | 14:08 |
| theadmin | !checkinstall | Ulfalizer | 14:08 |
| ubottu | Ulfalizer: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 14:08 |
| Myrtti | Faderhval: if you don't mind living with the latency the encryption brings in, then sshfs is ok-ish. If you are certain that the machine sharing files will stay in the LAN and doesn't need that much security or encryption, then choose NFS. There is quite a speed difference. | 14:09 |
| rypervenche | Ulfalizer: If you're really worried about version number, you might want to try a different distribution. | 14:09 |
| theadmin | Ulfalizer: Indeed, Arch is awesome for all-latest things. | 14:09 |
| Faderhval | wols, I am aware of samba and I am currently using it for LAN shares. And it works well but it anoys me that it is basicly designed for windows shares i was looking for something native to linux | 14:09 |
| wols | Faderhval: it wasn't designed for windows | 14:09 |
| Ulfalizer | is check-install safe even for overwriting files from "normal" packages? | 14:10 |
| wols | Faderhval: and at this point in time, NFS is a lot worse supported all over than samba/cifs | 14:10 |
| theadmin | Ulfalizer: Totally. Just make sure they have the same name | 14:10 |
| Ulfalizer | ok, thanks | 14:10 |
| theadmin | Ulfalizer: That way it'd count as an upgrade | 14:10 |
| Ulfalizer | why doesn't ubuntu provide "unstable" versions of packages corresponding to bleeding-edge stuff in the main repositories? | 14:11 |
| Faderhval | wols is it wrong that samba was developed for linux so that win and linux could do networking? | 14:11 |

| wols | Faderhval: dunno if it was developed only for winodws interoperability, but I do know that smb/cifs (the network protocol) was not developed and designed for Windows | 14:12 |
| Ulfalizer | Faderhval: they can still do networking. it's just for some specific protocols (e.g. smb). | 14:12 |
| raluxgaza | escott, yes i have, nothing still :( | 14:12 |
| fritzophrenic | ugh, I just read that Ubuntu Oneiric will not supply GNOME desktop as an alternative to Unity...have they fixed all the broken stuff in compiz and in Unity in general related to Unity? I liked it but had to constantly restart X when it was enabled | 14:12 |
| escott | raluxgaza, do you know if this is intel hda sound? lsmod | grep snd_hda_? | 14:13 |
| escott | fritzophrenic, where are you reading that? gnome is definitely in oneiric | 14:13 |
| rypervenche | Ulfalizer: Because Ubuntu is based on Debian, which is a very stable release. | 14:14 |
| theadmin | rypervenche: Ubuntu is based on Debian Testing, which is not so "stable" as you think | 14:14 |
| Ulfalizer | rypervenche: could still provide the option though | 14:14 |
| jify | TheEvilPhoenix:i will try and change the mouse, and see what happens | 14:14 |
| Faderhval | I'm a bit confused tbh :) but sshfs for secure transfer a littly laggy thou, NFS for faster but insecure transfer and then smbd... right will go do somereading on the various topics thanks for the answers | 14:14 |
| Ulfalizer | i.e., default to old, tested versions | 14:14 |
| wols | Ulfalizer: they do | 14:14 |
| raluxgaza | escott, yes its intel | 14:14 |
| astraljava | fritzophrenic: GNOME2 will be removed from oneiric, but GNOME3 is definitely the desktop. | 14:14 |
| bregma | fritzophrenic, I have Oneiric installed an Gnome is one of the alternative desktops | 14:14 |
| Ulfalizer | wols: in some centralized location? or is it up to third parties to provide packages for later versions? | 14:14 |
| acicula | escott: astraljava: think he means the gnome-classic fallback option wont be there | 14:15 |
| escott | raluxgaza, have you looked at this http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA | 14:15 |
| rypervenche | theadmin: I am aware. I use Debian Testing as my main distro. | 14:15 |
| wols | Ulfalizer: the oneiric repos are just that: unstable software but newer than what is in natty | 14:15 |
| astraljava | acicula: Yes, hence I mentioned GNOME2. | 14:15 |
| theadmin | rypervenche: Ah, nice I guess | 14:15 |
| Ulfalizer | wols: ok | 14:15 |
| raluxgaza | escott, I am looking into it, thanks for your help | 14:15 |
| acicula | astraljava: ah like so, metacity is not part of gnome3, so its not so much gnome-classic being dropped as it is gnome 2 not being packaged? | 14:17 |
| acicula | for ubuntu 11.10 | 14:17 |
| fritzophrenic | astraljava, hmm ok...I'm not sure what that means for me...it sounds like if I need to not have Unity, I can disable it. I suppose I won't put off the upgrade too long when it comes around then. | 14:17 |
| pk__ | when i install mingw32 i get i586-mingw32msvc-gcc version 4.2 | 14:19 |
| pk__ | but i need at least 4.3 | 14:19 |
| pk__ | how can i get it? | 14:19 |
| astraljava | acicula: Upstream moved on, so no point in including it anymore. | 14:19 |
| acicula | astraljava: that seems sensible yeah | 14:19 |
| fs | I have 2 different applications that watch files. I was wondering if it possible to run these two application in one shell window? | 14:20 |
| acicula | pk__: if its not in the repo you will have to find someone who packages it in his/hers ppa, or perhaps directly from the ming project page? | 14:20 |
| acicula | pk__: or failing that build it yourself | 14:20 |
| escott | fs, byobu or screen | 14:20 |
| rypervenche | fs: Yep, if you use "screen". | 14:20 |
| ikonia | fs: you could background them with & | 14:20 |
| fs | thanks guys, appreciate it :) | 14:21 |
| sodaorat | Hi | 14:21 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest37796 | ||
| sodaorat | I've got a copy problem on a external hard disk | 14:21 |
| sodaorat | NTFS btw | 14:21 |
| sodaorat | When I copy a big file, it stucks at about 60 Mo | 14:22 |
| sodaorat | and I don't know which tool to use under Ubuntu | 14:22 |
| rypervenche | sodaorat: How big is the file? | 14:22 |
| sodaorat | to check the disk for example | 14:22 |
| sodaorat | mmm | 14:22 |
| sodaorat | 350 Mo | 14:22 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | sodaorat, please try to keep them all in some 2 lines. do not post each sentence in a new line | 14:23 |
| sodaorat | ok sorry | 14:23 |
| acicula | Mo? | 14:24 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, if you use cp -v it will be verbose and possibily show you errors. also are you sure that ther is enough space? | 14:24 |
| sodaorat | Mb | 14:24 |
| sodaorat | yes | 14:24 |
| ubuntu_ | hey | 14:24 |
| ubuntu_ | does somebody have any experience isntalling ubuntu on GPT disk non uefi | 14:24 |
| sodaorat | I copied with Nautilus, I'll try again with the terminal and use cp -v, thanks | 14:24 |
| ubuntu_ | nobody :(? | 14:25 |
| dr_willis | sodaorat, You may want to try 'mc' also. its a text based file manager. Ive seen bugs where copying to USB flash gets slower and slower and slooooowerr.... when doing big files.. but lots of little files work. So you may want to monitor the mb/s speeds. | 14:25 |
| sodaorat | ok. cp -v is stuck, | 14:26 |
| sodaorat | I'll try mc | 14:26 |
| sw0rdfish | what does concatenate mean? | 14:26 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, you can also use the command dmesg to see if any system error messages came | 14:27 |
| escott | ubuntu_, gpt yes, efi no | 14:27 |
| theadmin | sw0rdfish: combine | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | escott | 14:27 |
| sodaorat | btw, the copy is stuck, and with Ctrl-Z, Ctrl C, Ctrl Q it doesn't stop | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | i meant with no efi | 14:27 |
| sw0rdfish | oh I see thanks. | 14:27 |
| dr_willis | sw0rdfish, to join together. | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | you also have gpt with efi, which makes it way easier to install | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | but i am on normal bios | 14:27 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: "join together" makes as much sense as "eat food" xD | 14:27 |
| acicula | sodaorat: between what kind of devices are you copying? | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | I can;t seem to install ubuntu on my gpt drive | 14:27 |
| ubuntu_ | well i cant boot after install.. | 14:28 |
| ubuntu_ | only boot from my standard windows 7 | 14:28 |
| sodaorat | message in dmesg: usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 | 14:28 |
| sodaorat | I'm copying from my local hd (ext4) to a external hd device (NTFS) | 14:28 |
| escott | ubuntu_, there is nothing special about it really. with the gpt+bios you still need to have an mbr. but its a good practice to create a gpt partition and a grub_bios partition | 14:28 |
| ubuntu_ | so i need to make a grub bios partititon | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | how big? | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | 2mb enough? | 14:29 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, just to test it: copy it to the same hard disc... just to see if that works | 14:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | !enter | ubuntu_ | 14:29 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | sure. | 14:29 |
| Sidewinder1 | :-) | 14:29 |
| acicula | ubuntu_: id make it no smaller then 100mb for /boot, kernels + initrds also take up space | 14:29 |
| ubuntu_ | Do you know how to put unallocated space to unallocated spade? | 14:29 |
| sodaorat | Benkonooby: it works | 14:30 |
| ubuntu_ | as i have leftover 2.25mb | 14:30 |
| coz_ | acicula, did you read this http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/booting.html | 14:30 |
| escott | ubuntu_, don't remember how big offhand, but it can be small. i would recommend reading http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/mbr2gpt.html | 14:30 |
| Floclo | hey excuse me for butting in... | 14:30 |
| Floclo | does anybody have a macbook running ubuntu | 14:30 |
| coz_ | acicula, scroll down to "Booting with EFI" | 14:30 |
| Floclo | ? | 14:30 |
| tiger_ | hi | 14:30 |
| escott | ubuntu_, the main page is actually http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/index.html | 14:31 |
| coz_ | Floclo, I know several people who come here do , I do not personally | 14:31 |
| ubuntu_ | ok now i am confused? | 14:31 |
| Floclo | coz_ ok they are not available currently? | 14:31 |
| acicula | coz_: no i havent, what am i looking for? | 14:31 |
| tiger_ | yes | 14:31 |
| coz_ | acicula, scroll down a bit to "Installing to efi" you will see this Ubuntu 11.04 has an extremely serious bug that causes it to erase any existing ESP, thus wiping out any existing boot loaders or other files installed there. Be sure to back up your ESP before you install Ubuntu to a (U)EFI system! | 14:32 |
| Floclo | coz do they come here often? | 14:32 |
| ubuntu_ | i dont have efi? | 14:32 |
| ubuntu_ | >_> | 14:32 |
| coz_ | Floclo, they do but I dont have their names off hand | 14:32 |
| s3r3n1t7 | If memory serves me well, there was this bootable CD, that could fix any form of bootloader, including of windows and linux .... yet i forgot its name ... | 14:32 |
| Floclo | coz no problem thanks for the info | 14:32 |
| sodaorat | I can't manage to kill the process of copying! (the cp -v) with kill 2724 and after kill -9 2724 | 14:33 |
| escott | acicula, ubuntu_ the grub_bios partition is actually a smaller partition for the stage1 part of grub2 it is not for /boot | 14:33 |
| Floclo | will have to come here regularly to catch them :-D | 14:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | Floclo, Have you asked/searched: http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 14:33 |
| coz_ | Floclo, absolutely,, dont give up on that,,, | 14:33 |
| coz_ | !mac | 14:33 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:33 |
| ubuntu_ | i remember deleting bios_grub as i had no idea wtf it was | 14:34 |
| Floclo | ubottu thanks I will re-read it | 14:34 |
| ubottu | Floclo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:34 |
| ubuntu_ | it was an leftover of my ubuntu installation that failed | 14:34 |
| Floclo | lol | 14:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | s3r3n1t7, Was it "supergrub?" | 14:34 |
| acicula | escott: ah i see, then you wont need space for kernels indeed. think the grub stages are supposed to fit on 1.4M disks still, says 1.5Mb in use here | 14:34 |
| s3r3n1t7 | Sidewinder1, yes! thank you! | 14:34 |
| Floclo | im real new to this | 14:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | NP | 14:34 |
| escott | ubuntu_, in gpt there isn't guaranteed to be the same space between the end of the mbr and the beginning of the partition table, so you have to have a partition for that section of the bootloader if you are relying on an mbr and not efi boot | 14:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | !mac | Floclo | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Floclo: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Floclo, I am sute that you can find a plenty of help there | 14:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | sure* | 14:35 |
| Floclo | awesome guys i am running ubuntu now its just the isight camera | 14:35 |
| coz_ | Floclo, ok cool,, just dont get frustrated,, there are exeptionally birght people that give their time freely here,, a lot depends on timezones,,families,,school. etc for them to be online | 14:35 |
| Floclo | cant get it working :( | 14:35 |
| ubuntu_ | so i need to make a .boot partition? | 14:35 |
| jrib | !mac | Floclo | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Floclo: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 14:35 |
| jrib | oops | 14:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | IAmNotThatGuy, Thanx, I completely forgot about that factoid; don't use a MAC. | 14:36 |
| Floclo | coz i know this is the best community even in the short time ive been here | 14:36 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Sidewinder1, ?_? | 14:36 |
| escott | ubuntu_, whether or not you have a boot partition is up to you, but you should have a grub_bios partition | 14:36 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Floclo, http://handyfloss.net/2008.07/making-isight-camera-work-in-ubuntu/ | 14:36 |
| jrib | Floclo: my camera works fine on my macbook, but you need to extract the firmware :/ The directions are on the wiki | 14:36 |
| Floclo | woah awesome heading there now | 14:36 |
| ubuntu_ | ok | 14:36 |
| ubuntu_ | how big does it need to be | 14:37 |
| Floclo | thanks guys really great help | 14:37 |
| sodaorat | I have now 2 tabs stucks: one with the cp, one with the mc! | 14:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | np Floclo =] | 14:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | IAmNotThatGuy, Your reference to the "mac" factoid for Floclo . | 14:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | soda pkill is not working? | 14:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Sidewinder1, can you explain why not to do that? | 14:38 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, are you on command line only? | 14:38 |
| sodaorat | non | 14:38 |
| escott | ubuntu_, it is not a mountpoint but a flag on the partition. i don't know exactly how big it can be, but it can be fairly small. grub will just put part the part of the bootloader that it would have placed between the mbr and bios partition table that it can't safely do with gpt. probably less than a meg total | 14:38 |
| sodaorat | I've a terminal with 3 tabs on Ubuntu 11.04 | 14:38 |
| Floclo | hey I am also having trouble getting chrome to set as default | 14:38 |
| Floclo | firefox seems to rule with an iron fist! | 14:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | IAmNotThatGuy, No, no, I just forgot about that factoid and was thanking you for refreshing this old memory. :-) | 14:38 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ah! | 14:38 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: I managed to kill mc, but the process cp -v is still stuck | 14:39 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Sidewinder1, FYI http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | 14:39 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, killall cp | 14:39 |
| sodaorat | thx | 14:39 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, that will kill all cp processes | 14:39 |
| Floclo | is the default browser issue 11.04 only? | 14:39 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, worked? | 14:39 |
| sodaorat | nope | 14:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | IAmNotThatGuy, I guess I shoulda' said "I" don't use a mac, sorry for the confusion. | 14:40 |
| Benkinooby | ok, try it as sudo | 14:40 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | No issues Sidewinder1 use the link to find all factoids | 14:40 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: waw still here | 14:40 |
| === debsan_ is now known as debsan | ||
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, did you try to copy that file on the same hard disc? | 14:41 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Floclo, gimme a min to find the solution | 14:41 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Benkinooby, sodaorat told that it worked perfectly | 14:41 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, it would be good to find out if the problem is the hard disc you wnat to copy to, or the file you want to copy | 14:41 |
| Benkinooby | IAmNotThatGuy, sodaorat oh, ok missed that, sry | 14:41 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: yes. The USB drive is thinking a lot (the light flashes) | 14:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | IAmNotThatGuy, Yes, I'm more than familiar with that link; as a matter of fact, I keep a dialog window open with ubottu, just to double check before I "sick" the bot on someone. :-) | 14:41 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, maybe ist's jsut dam slow? | 14:42 |
| coz_ | sodaorat, how large is the flash drive? | 14:42 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Sidewinder1, lol | 14:42 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, you could also try to us nautilus,... it should show you a progress bar.. | 14:42 |
| ubuntu_ | how can you set a flagpartition | 14:42 |
| ubuntu_ | well how can you flag it? | 14:42 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: It's not a flash drive, it's a external hard disk (500 GB), with 300 GB available | 14:42 |
| ubuntu_ | as it is 1mb big, you cnat make a partition of it | 14:42 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, partition flag you mean? i know that you can set the "bootable flag" with fdisk... gparted can do it too, i think | 14:43 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: Yes with Nautilus, the progress bar is stuck at about 60 Mo/360 Mo | 14:43 |
| raluxgaza | still can't get my mic to work, this is painful | 14:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ubuntu_, Gparted? | 14:43 |
| ubuntu_ | im on gparted | 14:43 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, Mb you mean | 14:43 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: Yes, Mb sorry, french habit ;) | 14:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | raluxgaza, which version of mic ? | 14:43 |
| escott | ubuntu_, please keep your responses on one line and include my name in your response. it should appear as a flag or partition type in gdisk or parted. i dont remember exactly where | 14:43 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, but if the hard disk is still blinking, maybe it's till coyping... | 14:43 |
| raluxgaza | hda-intel | 14:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | err H/w raluxgaza* | 14:44 |
| raluxgaza | IAmNotThatGuy, the intel one | 14:44 |
| Sidewinder1 | ubuntu_, Not to but in, but are you sure that the partition is NTFS and not fat32? | 14:44 |
| ubuntu_ | i am keeping it on one line? | 14:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | raluxgaza, OS? | 14:44 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: But with Nautilus, the progress bar was stuck, I let it wait for about 15 minutes, no progress. | 14:44 |
| raluxgaza | IAmNotThatGuy, 11.04 | 14:44 |
| ubuntu_ | the partition is unallocated | 14:44 |
| ksx4system | how do I set which NTP (network time) server clock in ubuntu uses? | 14:44 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: and it's weird that we can't kill the cp process isn't it? | 14:44 |
| ksx4system | is it something related with NTP daemon? I'm using 11.04 | 14:44 |
| raluxgaza | IAmNotThatGuy, aspire 4810t | 14:44 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, that's true... even as sudo... | 14:44 |
| zykotick9 | ksx4system, "cat /etc/ntp.conf" should show you | 14:45 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: But if I unplug the hard disk, it will be ok | 14:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | raluxgaza, have you visited https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireTimeline/Fixes before? | 14:45 |
| coz_ | sodaorat, what I have noticed on 11.04 with a 6 gig flash drive,, is that the system seems to cache the files to be copied first,, slowly,, while the flash drive just sits there ,,these were large files some being well over 2 gigs however | 14:45 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, try to copy a different file from your hdd to the ntfs ... mybe not that big... just to see if that works | 14:45 |
| Sidewinder1 | ksx4system, Perhaps it has something to do with "tzdata?" | 14:45 |
| escott | ubuntu_, in parted it is set # grub_bios on. in gparted it should be in a dropdown where you have things like swap/boot/etc | 14:45 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, what will be ok? | 14:45 |
| ubuntu_ | mann | 14:45 |
| ubuntu_ | can't i just install ubuntu normally? | 14:46 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby: I managed to copy little files (15 Mo). If I unplug the disk, the cp process will stop. | 14:46 |
| ksx4system | zykotick9: thanks. it'll be piece of cake to tweak it now :) | 14:46 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, hm, ok | 14:46 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, sorry didnt see your whole post,, are you dual botting? | 14:46 |
| ubuntu_ | triple booting | 14:46 |
| escott | ubuntu_, gpt+bios is not a normal config, thats part of the problem | 14:46 |
| ubuntu_ | if i want linux | 14:46 |
| sodaorat | coz_: yes my pb is only with 300 Mb hehe | 14:46 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, ooo ok.. which other systems do you have so far? | 14:47 |
| ubuntu_ | win7/win7 | 14:47 |
| ubuntu_ | but if i install ubuntu it wont show up.. | 14:47 |
| ksx4system | zykotick9: but... what if i don't have ntp.conf file? should I create new one (or just copy from one of my Debian boxes)? | 14:47 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, 2 windows7 installs? | 14:47 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 14:47 |
| noelia | hello everyone | 14:47 |
| ubuntu_ | hi | 14:47 |
| ksx4system | clock says it syncs via internet but i need to force using my own NTP server @ LAN | 14:47 |
| zykotick9 | ksx4system, no, that means it's being dealt with through some other means. Sorry I don't know, best of luck. | 14:48 |
| noelia | Would you please help me out with an issue that is driving me mad? | 14:48 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby, coz_: that's why I think that there is a problem with the hard disk, and I wanted to check if there are any tools to check the disk health. Do you know some? | 14:48 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | !ask | noelia | 14:48 |
| ubottu | noelia: 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. :-) | 14:48 |
| ubuntu_ | @coz yes i have 2 windows install | 14:48 |
| raluxgaza | IAmNotThatGuy, yes I have, no luck :( | 14:48 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, i don't know if there are progs to chekc the ntfgs-health in ubuntu | 14:48 |
| coz_ | sodaorat, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/disk-check.html | 14:48 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | raluxgaza, I am finding a bug in that. Not sure whether it is yours | 14:49 |
| noelia | The thing is I recently installed mySQL, and I can't initiate its daemon because it returns: Warning: Fake initctl: Doing nothing | 14:49 |
| escott | ubuntu_, the basics of grub+mbr+gpt is relatively simple. grub installs itself to the mbr, and to the grub_bios partition and to the /boot partition. mbr executes the data in your grub_bios partition which then hands off to the /boot partition at which point you can boot linux/chainload windows etc. but you need the grub_bios partition | 14:49 |
| sodaorat | thx | 14:49 |
| noelia | I have tried reinstalling mysql-server but it didn't work | 14:49 |
| ubuntu_ | So if i install ubuntu | 14:50 |
| noelia | I also installed the updates | 14:50 |
| noelia | Many things I've tried | 14:50 |

| bullgard4_ | I installed Natty on 2 free partitions using the 'Ubuntu-Server 11.04 amd64-CD '. I cannot login because the keyboard settings are wrong (probably a wrong keyboard model). Natty does not accept any keyboard combinations with AltGr. Pressing the Y key interprets Natty as Z. How to fix that? I can access the Recovery menu though. | 14:53 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby>: I unplug first the USB disk and replug it | 14:53 |
| sakthi | IAmNotThatGuy yea, very much here :) | 14:54 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | sakthi, can you please visit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1031171 ? | 14:55 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm pretty sick of trying to install ubuntu for 8 hours straight.. | 14:55 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: I am just now booted in a console without X. What I wrote, I have alreday checked in the console. How to fix these errors? | 14:55 |
| Bilange | is there any piece of software that gives me a web based routing configuration on ubuntu? (a bit like pfSense does, basically) I just need wan firewall and port forwards, nothing fancy actually. | 14:55 |
| sakthi | i googled on sendmail configuration.. not success in getting answer | 14:55 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, ok, what did you try until now and what error messages or faults did you got? | 14:56 |
| sakthi | IAmNotThatGuy.. will check that site | 14:56 |
| ArchangelSe7en | ubuntu_, define "wont work" , more details would help a lot. | 14:56 |
| wols | bullgard4_: boot to a console without any X and check if your keyboard is set up correctly there | 14:56 |
| ubuntu_ | no boot option | 14:56 |
| ubuntu_ | i have never got any error | 14:56 |
| disse | hey guys, can i encrypt my home dir with an other pass than my own user pass? The other pass should be looooong but my user pass shouldn't be so long | 14:56 |
| disse | and how can i do that | 14:56 |
| ArchangelSe7en | that sounds rather obscure | 14:56 |
| ubuntu_ | first 4 hours was figuring out why it was infinitely stuck at preparing install | 14:57 |
| disse | why? encrypting full with my ssd is not working | 14:57 |
| disse | so only the home dir | 14:57 |
| disse | but i want to be real safe | 14:57 |
| disse | so looong pass | 14:57 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, do you use a CD, pen drive, what version of ubuntu? | 14:57 |
| bullgard4_ | wols: Are you able to react on what I have written to you? Please do not do plain repeating of a previous message. | 14:57 |
| disse | but on every sudo the long pass is shit | 14:57 |
| ubuntu_ | pen drive, | 14:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | ubuntu_, Did you md5sum the ISO prior to burning/copying to USB? | 14:57 |
| ubuntu_ | i didnt as i couldnt fine the option.. | 14:58 |
| ubuntu_ | find*, | 14:58 |
| ArchangelSe7en | use an md5sum checker | 14:58 |
| noelia | Iamnotthatguy Does Samba have anything to do with mySQL or Initctl? I just need to know that, please. | 14:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | ubuntu_, Maybe, then, your ISO has an error? | 14:58 |

| SantiG | hey guys, is there a way to uninstall ubuntu from my computer? I have my disk partitioned with windows and ubuntu, and i was wondering if i could delete ubuntu without having to format the whole disk | 15:01 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, hm, i have no experience with gpt drives... did anyone else have problems with that? | 15:01 |
| * IAmNotThatGuy hugs wols | 15:01 | |
| ubuntu_ | i guess everybody ? | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, reinstall the windows bootloader via windows. use windows tools or a live cd to delett linux partitions.. | 15:02 |
| ubuntu_ | who wanted to boot with gpt | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, then resize/remake windows partitions as needed | 15:02 |
| * Sidewinder1 Slides him a cup-o-coffee. :-) | 15:02 | |
| wols | SantiG: no there is not. you cannot "uninstall" an OS, you can only overwrite it. restore your bootloader to boot windows only with a windows cd and then reformat or delete or whatever you ubuntu partition | 15:02 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> It's stuck | 15:02 |
| sodaorat | 43057152 11% 20.47MB/s 0:00:15 | 15:02 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, unless you did a 'Wubi' install Inside windows.. in which case. theres a Ubuntu entry in the add/remove programs listing. | 15:03 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: why do you need the alt+gr key to login ? | 15:03 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, no error message i guess | 15:03 |
| wols | Benkinooby: tons of propblems unfortunately | 15:03 |
| compdoc` | SantiG, yes, you can | 15:03 |
| SantiG | compdoc, how can i do it? | 15:03 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, http://www.wensley.org.uk/gpt might help you.. i can't i never had to do with gpt | 15:03 |
| SantiG | dr_willis i did the wubi install | 15:03 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: In order to key in a letter '@'. | 15:03 |
| compdoc` | SantiG, does it boot grub? | 15:03 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, then you do NOT havce Ubuntu partitions like you stated.. Its in the add/remove program area. | 15:03 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: is that part of your username/password ? | 15:04 |
| SantiG | dr_willis, i'll check if i have it in the add/remove | 15:04 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: Yes. | 15:04 |
| ubuntu_ | i read it but i dont understand a shiz | 15:04 |
| SantiG | compdoc, sorry i do not know much about this, whats grub? | 15:04 |
| julie101010 | how do I add the battery charge indicator in the menu bar on 11.04? | 15:04 |
| Benkinooby | wols, you are refering to gpt ? | 15:04 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: for the purpose of resolving the problem, change the username/password to not contain @ so you can login and debug/progress the issue | 15:04 |
| wols | Benkinooby: yes | 15:04 |
| Sidewinder1 | SantiG, Even if it's not in add/remove, since it's a WUBI install, simply delete the files. | 15:04 |
| compdoc` | SantiG, when it boots, do you get a menu with a choice between ubuntu and windows? | 15:04 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, is there any other important info on your hard disk? | 15:04 |
| ubuntu_ | sure is | 15:05 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, or can you toy around with it? | 15:05 |
| SantiG | compdoc, yes i do | 15:05 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> no error message | 15:05 |
| ubuntu_ | 1,3tb of important stuff | 15:05 |
| ubuntu_ | raided | 15:05 |
| SantiG | Sidewinder1, and where are supossed to be those files? | 15:05 |
| ubuntu_ | Im only playing with one partition as i dont want to touch all my important stuff | 15:05 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> I'll try to kill the process | 15:05 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, ok | 15:05 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> waw there are 3 process rsync | 15:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | SantiG, Not sure what directory, \ubuntu, perhaps? I would not touch WUBI, so I'm not that familiar with it, other than the basics. | 15:06 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, what i want to say, is if you play around with grub, wich will modify your partition table, you are running a certain risk to lose all your data | 15:06 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, :( | 15:06 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, one of the features of wubi is that you can Uninstall it via the add/remove programs stuff and it should undo all that. | 15:06 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: How can I change the username/password combination on the root console? By using an 'adduser' command? | 15:06 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah i am stopping | 15:07 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, so, sorry, gpt and raid is way above my level | 15:07 |
| dr_willis | SantiG, removeing it any other way.. and you may miss somthing | 15:07 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> killall rsync worked this time | 15:07 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: the command "passwd $username" | 15:07 |
| ubuntu_ | lol okay | 15:07 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, at least something :P | 15:07 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: that will change the password, | 15:07 |
| ubuntu_ | DAMM UBUNTU WORK :( | 15:07 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> oups there is one process left | 15:07 |
| SantiG | dr_willis, i checked the add/remove programs and its not there :S | 15:07 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, the only thing you can try is to ask nicely at debian | 15:07 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: I will give it a try. | 15:07 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, your problem is not really ubuntu only | 15:07 |
| ubuntu_ | and then what ? | 15:07 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ikonia, that should be done through the recovery moed and running as root right? | 15:07 |
| ubuntu_ | i know | 15:07 |
| sakthi | IAmNotThatGuy shall i give the smtp server address where i have got mail ids from the webhosting company | 15:08 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, maybe one of them has experience with gpt and raids... | 15:08 |
| ikonia | IAmNotThatGuy: that's what he's doing | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | i cant install any boot operating system on GPt without trouble | 15:08 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ikonia, okies =] | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | benkinooby | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | i am banned from debian | 15:08 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, cuz of your nick maybe? | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_ | maybe | 15:08 |
| SantiG | talking to my brother he says he actually doesnt remember wether he installed it by wubi or cd :/ | 15:09 |
| Benkinooby | they are not too happy about ubuntu folk in their channels :( | 15:09 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 15:09 |
| SantiG | he was the one who installed ubuntu | 15:09 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: they are fine with ubuntu people - please don't suggest that | 15:09 |
| Sidewinder1 | ubuntu_, If you didn't md5sum the ISO, all bets are off; it could be a bad download. | 15:09 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, I did find this , not sure if it will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1744799 | 15:09 |
| ubuntu_ | oh it detects it | 15:09 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, so, any news? | 15:09 |
| ubuntu_ | thats not the problem i just cant get it to boot anything with it | 15:09 |
| coz_ | !who | 15:10 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:10 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> I checked the SMART status with the utility drive, and it says it's ok | 15:10 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, so it is allready installed? just that you can not boot to it? | 15:10 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah | 15:10 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, i expected that... | 15:10 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> but I had to unplug the HD to see the rsync really killed | 15:10 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: what is the error when you try to boot it ? | 15:10 |
| ubuntu_ | no option to boot | 15:10 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, can you boot windows? - think you have a dual install, don't you? | 15:10 |
| ubuntu_ | yeah | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | i can boot | 15:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: and what version of ubuntu are you using | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | 11.04? | 15:11 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> So I think the disk has a problem... maybe because of NTFS | 15:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: so what is the error when you try to boot | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | I cant boot | 15:11 |
| DetectiveDongs | hi i'm a newb to linux servers: should my /var/www belong to root? doesn't this make building my site difficult? | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | there is no option except windows 7 | 15:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: yes, but what is the error/problem | 15:11 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: set the permissions | 15:11 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: then you did not have grub installed correctly | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | Oh i can't boot after install | 15:11 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, if you want a really ugly work around... copy the file to a FAT pen drive or so, aand then with windows form pen drive to ntfs.... | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_ | How do i isntall grub correctly? | 15:12 |
| escott | ikonia, ubuntu_ can't boot because he hasn't created a grub_bios partition as i instructed him 15 minutes ago | 15:12 |
| DetectiveDongs | what do you mean set the permissions ikonia | 15:12 |
| ikonia | escott: there we go then, | 15:12 |
| rocktop | how to know the total outgoing bandwidth per second from the eth0 ? | 15:12 |
| ubuntu_ | I did have it | 15:12 |
| ubuntu_ | and i couldnt boot | 15:12 |
| DetectiveDongs | to my current user: ie it shouldn't be set to root? | 15:12 |
| ubuntu_ | i tried without couldnt boot either | 15:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: you need to stop saying "couldn't boot" and exaplin the issue | 15:12 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: that's like me saying "fix it" - you need info, in the same way we need info to help you | 15:12 |
| escott | ubuntu_, and have you installed grub after creating the grub_bios partition | 15:12 |
| ubuntu_ | the issue is i can not select ubuntu | 15:12 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, so now you only can boot windows 7 or nothing comes at all? | 15:12 |
| ubuntu_ | only windows 7 | 15:12 |
| sodaorat | <Benkinooby> I'm running a SMART test | 15:13 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: please explain your partition layout | 15:13 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, and window7 boots sucessfully? | 15:13 |
| ubuntu_ | ofc | 15:13 |
| wols | ubuntu_: you start your PC. after the BIOS screen what comes up on screen first? | 15:13 |
| ubuntu_ | raid array | 15:13 |
| bastidrazor | DetectiveDongs: i have /var/www owned by my user and group by www-data | 15:13 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: software raid ? | 15:13 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, i never had troubles with copying stuff to ntfs... your problem is quite weired... | 15:13 |
| DetectiveDongs | bastidrazor oh ok, i didn't know if there was a risk in changing the permissions on this dir :P | 15:13 |
| ubuntu_ | its is i think? its motherboard raid | 15:13 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, in that case it's hardware | 15:14 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: fakeraiud then - so there is problem number 1 | 15:14 |
| Benkinooby | ubuntu_, in that case it's hardware raid | 15:14 |
| escott | ubuntu_, if you are using bios raid thats going to make things harder. if you are stripping thats going to make it extremely hard | 15:14 |
| ikonia | Benkinooby: no - it's not hardware raid | 15:14 |
| ubuntu_ | lol | 15:14 |
| Benkinooby | Oo | 15:14 |
| ubuntu_ | its raid 0 | 15:14 |
| bastidrazor | DetectiveDongs: as far as i have seen it hasn't been an issue. just the www directory | 15:14 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby, yes, it's weird, but I'm used to hardware problems hehe | 15:14 |
| rocktop | anyidea? | 15:14 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: I'll be honest, that's never going to work for you | 15:14 |

| escott | ubuntu_, you have the worst possible configuration imaginable raid 0 stripping + gpt + mbr/bios boot | 15:14 |
| DetectiveDongs | i have a fake raid setup | 15:14 |
| ubuntu_ | ah great | 15:15 |
| DetectiveDongs | it worked fine | 15:15 |
| DetectiveDongs | you need dmraid | 15:15 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: it won't work for what ubuntu_ wants to do | 15:15 |
| DetectiveDongs | oh ok | 15:15 |
| Benkinooby | sodaorat, hm... jsut go quick and dirty... use a fat drive and then copy fomr the drive to your ntfs with windows | 15:15 |
| FAERY | hiya! | 15:15 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: and fakeraid sucess depends on the exact motherboard model | 15:15 |
| ubuntu_ | so cuz i have GPT+BIOS+RAID 0 it wont work.. | 15:15 |
| escott | ubuntu_, i know you can get grub + gbt/mbr working by installing grub after creating a grub_bios partition, but i don't know that grub will be able to deal with the fakeraid stripping | 15:16 |
| ubuntu_ | thats a great thing to hear.. | 15:16 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_: gpt+raid0+fakeraid = worst configuration possible | 15:16 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby Yeah i'll test that under windows, because I have a dual boot. | 15:16 |
| FAERY | goodbye | 15:16 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, the gpt alone is going to take a bit of pain | 15:16 |
| sodaorat | Benkinooby Thanks a lot for your help | 15:16 |
| ikonia | coz_: 10.10 and later = gpt no problem | 15:16 |
| coz_ | ikonia, ah that at least is good news | 15:17 |
| ubuntu_ | well i do have hardware raid card for servers in my closet but it's a lil slower than my intel x58 chipset one | 15:17 |

| charlie_ | after doing some kernel update from 2.6.32 to 2.6.38, my sound stopped working. help needed | 15:19 |
| escott | himcesjf, but please be considerate before doing that. ibiblio is a non-profit. if you want to mirror them you may be able to do so with rsync | 15:19 |
| edbian | himcesjf: wget -r | 15:19 |
| ikonia | charlie_: how did you do kernel updates ? | 15:20 |
| DetectiveDongs | bastidrazor mind if i pm u | 15:20 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: The env command produces no output with direct keyboard relation. I can see LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 though. | 15:20 |
| himcesjf | escott: That was just an example. I was thinking to have the files and folders exactly the same way it is stored in there | 15:20 |
| himcesjf | I'll try what was suggested here | 15:20 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: the first thing is to check the language is correct | 15:20 |
| bastidrazor | DetectiveDongs: not at all. | 15:20 |

| stwange | hi, what creates /boot/grub/{stage1,stage2,menu.lst}? Running natty 64 bit, I've installed grub, done a setup through grub (which wouldn't work without me copying stage1 and stage2 from /usr/lib/grub/.../stage1 and stage2 into /boot/grub), but it hasn't created menu.lst. I've tried grub-install /dev/sda but it says "Couldn't find device for /boot" | 15:21 |
| mbrochh | It looks windows 3.11ish, old, white and ugly | 15:21 |
| sina | can anybody tell me how I can update my Xscreen? | 15:21 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: Does my statement 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8' fulfill your requirement to check if the language is correct? | 15:21 |
| wols | sina: what do you mean with "Xscereen"? | 15:21 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: this is the kernel that I installed linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic | 15:21 |
| escott | stwange, menu.lst is from grub1 aka grub_legacy most have moved to grub2 | 15:22 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 15:22 |
| ikonia | charlie_: what version of ubuntu are you using | 15:22 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: 10.04 | 15:22 |
| ikonia | charlie_: that doesn't look like the right kernel for that OS | 15:22 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: what do I do now? do I need to downgrade the kernel? | 15:22 |
| ikonia | charlie_: how did you upgrade it ? where did you get it from ? | 15:23 |
| stwange | escott, thanks. I need grub1 but I can't find grub-legacy in apt-cache. is it grub-coreboot? | 15:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | ikonia, Looks like he downloaded the Natty image to run on Lucid. | 15:23 |
| stwange | escott, note I installed grub with apt-get, not grub2. Not sure if it's just an alias though | 15:23 |
| Runeazn | im ubuntu dude :P | 15:23 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: I got it from the official repository | 15:23 |
| escott | stwange, grub-coreboot should be for coreboot aka openbios | 15:23 |
| wols | stwange: no, that's not it. why do you need grub1? | 15:23 |
| ikonia | charlie_: which official repo | 15:23 |
| Runeazn | So what did you tell me to do? | 15:23 |
| Runeazn | Im booted in windows currently., | 15:24 |
| stwange | wols, working on an image which I don't have full control over, the underlying imager will expect grub1 | 15:24 |
| DetectiveDongs | if i want to serve page from both nginx (nobody nogroup) and apache (www-data www-data), /var/www/site1 served by nginx /var/www/site2 from apache; how should my permissions be then? | 15:24 |
| escott | stwange, grub-pc is grub2 sorry | 15:25 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs nginx ? | 15:25 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: Im sorry, I dont know but I installed it by typing "sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic" | 15:25 |
| fritzophrenic | I'm looking to log the websites visited by my daughter. I don't want to set up filtering - whitelists are too restrictive (she's almost a teenager) and blacklists don't work anyway - I just want to be able to monitor what she's visiting. I'd rather have a nice GUI over pure command-line tools. Any suggestions? I found browser-history but reading the description I don't think there would be a way to make sure she doesn't c | 15:25 |
| DetectiveDongs | yes nginx? | 15:25 |
| ikonia | charlie_: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file | 15:25 |
| fritzophrenic | worst case I can have my router email me logs and grep through them for her IP address but that just sounds like a lot of work | 15:25 |
| edbian | fritzophrenic: she doesn't what? | 15:25 |
| DetectiveDongs | ikonia you're like neo in the matrix with helping people this morning :P | 15:25 |
| edbian | fritzophrenic: You're first post got caught off | 15:26 |
| celthunder | fritzophrenic: nothing stopping her from killing it anyway | 15:26 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: how can you run two webservers at once ? | 15:26 |
| DetectiveDongs | different ports | 15:26 |

| fritzophrenic | I found browser-history but reading the description I don't think there would be a way to make sure she doesn't clear the history. | 15:26 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: in that case the permissions need to be a group that both the apache owner and the nginx owner are a member of and has at least read access | 15:26 |
| himcesjf | escott: To mirror is to have data stored in the same way it is organised in Index of/ ? How does rsync helps to do same? | 15:26 |

| DetectiveDongs | ikonia if nginx is under nobody.nogroup, i'm not sure how that exactly works | 15:27 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ah! muted :D | 15:27 |
| keithclark | I am trying to create a live usb stick with startup disk creator and it won't let me select my image of choice, puppy linux. Is it designed to only work with Ubuntu .iso's? | 15:27 |
| DetectiveDongs | do i need to run nginx under an actual user in that case | 15:27 |
| fritzophrenic | she doesn't have sudo privileges so if it's running as me or root she shouldn't be able to kill it, should she? | 15:27 |
| edbian | fritzophrenic: The only way to guarantee she can't tamper with it is to filter at the router (if you're emailing the logs why don't you have the script that emails the log first grep the log for her IP). More importantly why do you not trust your own daughter? | 15:27 |
| ikonia | DetectiveDongs: then you need to make the apache owner share the same group as nginix | 15:27 |
| celthunder | fritzophrenic: physical access= yes | 15:27 |
| DetectiveDongs | ok | 15:27 |
| escott | himcesjf, depends on if you plan to do this once or on a regular basis. if you want to regularly have the same contents they would likely prefer you setup an rsync mirror and only download the new files, rather than using wget which can't tell what has changed | 15:27 |
| charlie_ | ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660542/ | 15:27 |
| celthunder | fritzophrenic: and same with the router..if you have physical access it's pretty hard to log/block people from doing anything | 15:28 |
| ikonia | charlie_: there are no repos in that file that contain the kernel you use | 15:28 |
| edbian | fritzophrenic: I've read a lot of articles and stuff online about parents monitoring children. It always comes down to. Don't monitor their activites (online or otherwise) it's not fair to them and it doesn't really solve the problem. | 15:28 |
| JRWR | on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS, I would like to strip out (configs also) of all packages there where not in the base install of ubuntu, also to reset all other config files to defaults as well (Its on a VPS) | 15:28 |
| escott | fritzophrenic, physical access is (almost) always root access. she could just boot her own livecd | 15:28 |
| fritzophrenic | ok, so barring a liveCD...assuming she stays within the installed system, she shouldn't be able to stop a process not owned by her, correct? | 15:29 |
| ZwIrc | How to delete a partition? (ramdisk partition) | 15:30 |
| escott | fritzophrenic, she shouldn't be able to | 15:30 |
| fritzophrenic | as for trust, this is why I don't want to install filtering SW. I just want to be able to check in from time to time. "know what she's doing online" and all that | 15:30 |
| escott | ZwIrc, for tmpfs just umount it | 15:30 |
| wols | fritzophrenic: use any proxy that logs | 15:30 |
| fritzophrenic | ok, so basically my best bet would not be client SW but grepping the router logs. Ugh. | 15:31 |
| himcesjf | escott: And to rsync URL will function? . ssh: Could not resolve hostname http: Name or service not known rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(601) [Receiver=3.0.7] I couldn't find anything related on man . | 15:31 |
| escott | himcesjf, you would need to check with that server's administrator to see if they have an rsync server that you could connect to, its not usually public the way the www or ftp server is | 15:32 |
| fritzophrenic | i might just use browser-history anyway and trust her not to mess with it (both out of ignorance and out of actual trust) | 15:33 |
| stwange | escott, grub-install -v shows 0.97 (so grub-legacy), as does grub --version. setup via grub seems to work (and install menu.lst) but it doesn't actually do so: http://pastie.org/private/bpmpz8btzjeasbbjlx3g | 15:33 |
| celthunder | fritzophrenic: use a proxy thatlogs where it goes... | 15:33 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | side | 15:33 |
| celthunder | fritzophrenic: should be pretty easyto do | 15:33 |
| himcesjf | escott: But the command is <rsync URL> ? | 15:33 |
| keithclark | How to create a live usb that is not ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| escott | himcesjf, rsync is a completely different tool and protocol. it can be rsync over an unencrypted rsync port rsync:// or it can be tunneled over ssh. talk to the admin of the remote server you want to mirror | 15:34 |
| stwange | escott, if there's some obvious step I should have done between apt-get installing the kernel, installing grub, and what I've pasted above please don't assume that I've done it :) | 15:34 |
| escott | stwange, im afraid ive completely forgotten all my grub-legacy knowledge i think its better to point you to the wiki rather than risking giving you grub2 commands by mistake. sorry | 15:36 |
| auronandace | keithclark: have you tried asking in a channel that is not #ubuntu ? | 15:36 |
| Zeik | Good morning everyone. | 15:36 |
| keithclark | auronandace, but I'm running Ubuntu | 15:36 |
| stwange | escott that's fine, I did check the wiki but it seems to rely on having a ubuntu rescue CD and the GUI. Thanks for the help anyway. | 15:36 |
| himcesjf | keithclark: Plug your USB stick and learn how your USB stick is recognized by the system: # ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/*usb* Then # dd if=/path/to/iso/*.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync. This is command line else there are GUI methods available as well like LinuxLive creator something. | 15:36 |
| Zeik | Could anyone direct me to an automotive repair chat inside of the freenode community? | 15:36 |
| celthunder | Zeik: what? | 15:37 |
| Ulfalizer | Zeik: mostly software nerds here.. : | 15:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | hi | 15:37 |
| Ulfalizer | P | 15:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | http://files.pcode.nl/temp/ubuntu-natty-intel-compiz-rounded-corner-artifact.png | 15:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | does anybody recognize that? | 15:37 |
| Zeik | Ugh... I am having car troubles not Ubuntu issues, lol. Kind of odd for a change. =) | 15:38 |
| stwange | repeating my question for a wider audience :) I'm trying to get grub(-legacy) working. I've installed it but it didn't come with stage1 or stage2 in /boot. I've copied these in from /usr/lib/... and used grub setup but I still can't get menu.lst to appear: http://pastie.org/private/bpmpz8btzjeasbbjlx3g | 15:38 |
| escott | keithclark, to make a live usb of say fedora you need a system image to boot which is non-trivial to make check with that distro. unless you are trying to ask how to create an ubuntu live usb from a non-ubuntu system | 15:38 |
| mcf3782 | Does anyone know of an active IRC channel of MRTG users? I need to graph some stats from a Motorola DSL modem, that MRTG's cfgmaker can't figure out; and I don't understand the cfg file syntax well enough to write it on my own without some help. Any suggestions? | 15:38 |
| fritzophrenic | I've never set up a proxy before, doesn't that use dedicated hardware normally? I'd rather not. But my router can take logs and email them. Unfortunately for that to work simply and reliably for me, I'd need to set up a static IP for her computer. | 15:38 |
| celthunder | Zeik: what's the problem with your car and what kind of car...i'm only good for basic stuff though | 15:38 |
| Ulfalizer | Zeik: there's probably forums if you google around a bit. doubt there's anything on irc. | 15:38 |
| Ulfalizer | or on freenode at least | 15:38 |
| wols | fritzophrenic: no. stuff like privoxy and squid run everywhere | 15:38 |
| Ulfalizer | heck, i don't even have a driver's license | 15:38 |
| escott | fritzophrenic, your router should be able to establish a static ip for her computers mac address | 15:39 |
| Zeik | I'll have to search forums for the issue then. Thanks anyway guys. | 15:39 |
| Fanda | Hi, I want to install Ubuntu 11 (64bit) on SATA disk (AHCI). I can mount it, but the installer do not show it to choose this drive. What should I do? | 15:39 |
| fritzophrenic | yeah it can do that, I've avoided it so far however except for briefly when a game was misbehaving without port forwarding which also requires a static IP | 15:39 |
| papul|c3 | Why does ubuntu suck so much? The devs have ruined it in trying to make it easy to use. | 15:39 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: "mount it" ? | 15:39 |
| unobtruse | hey guys. can anyone tell me where I can help out with bug fixing? I'm not an experienced programmer, but I know a bit of C and python... | 15:40 |

| ballroomblitz42 | I have (had) a directory in my home, called dir. I wanted to move this to userB's home, so I did "sudo mv dir /home/userB/" Now I don't see the directory in either place. What did I do? Can I get it back? | 15:40 |
| celthunder | unobtruse: #C and #python? | 15:40 |
| unobtruse | great | 15:40 |
| unobtruse | thanks | 15:40 |
| unobtruse | celthunder | 15:41 |
| HelloWorld321 | Is 10-base-T too slow for uncompressed video over VNC? I get terrible input performance if I use low compression, but I get terrible video output if I use high compression | 15:41 |
| unobtruse | join #python | 15:41 |
| unobtruse | oops | 15:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | HelloWorld321: 10-BaseT seriously? | 15:41 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: If Ii only start ubuntu, I can work with the drive. But I cant install on it... | 15:41 |
| celthunder | HelloWorld321: uhm what uses 10 base T anymore | 15:41 |
| dr_willis | HelloWorld321, 10-base-T is like.. err.. the old coax type connection isent it? | 15:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: you can't install to a mounted rive | 15:41 |
| Dulak | HelloWorld321: yes, 10-base-T is about half the speed you need to stream video | 15:41 |
| wols | dr_willis: yes | 15:42 |
| wols | Dulak: not true. it all depends what kind of video | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | HelloWorld321, if you want to play video over it.. then mount the remote location, and play it. dont add vnc into the mixx. | 15:42 |
| escott | Fanda, is the partition unmounted when you start the installer | 15:42 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: Yes. Installer unmout it anyway... | 15:42 |
| dr_willis | HelloWorld321, or use vlc to stream it to the local player. | 15:42 |
| Fanda | escott: Yes | 15:42 |
| wols | HelloWorld321: you cannot stream video over any normal vnc no matter the network speed | 15:42 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: what does the installer say? or show you? can you make a screenshot? | 15:43 |
| escott | Fanda, does the installer show the disk at all? | 15:43 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: It just does not show the disc... | 15:43 |
| Fanda | escott: No. | 15:43 |
| Dulak | wols: ?? I watch video across a vnc link all the time here, why are you talking about what you obviously know nothing about? | 15:44 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: even if you choose manual partitioning? | 15:44 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: No. I did try to remove other discs, but installer do not show this disc anyway... | 15:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | very odd | 15:45 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: anything special about your rig? having software raid configured? using additional sata controllers?? | 15:45 |
| Zeik | Is there a way to get EXA accelleration instead of UXA? | 15:46 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: I think no. One disc (at this time), AHCI, SATA, on SATA1 connector | 15:47 |
| HelloWorld321 | Tx Dulak. That's the answer I need. | 15:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda does your dmesg say anything funny? | 15:47 |
| keithclark | escott, I don't understand why nobody recommended UNetbootin. The simplest solution | 15:47 |
| HelloWorld321 | Yes. 10BaseT is old. I have an old hub somewhere in my network. It's not coaxial cable, but the transmission speed is from the 90's. Back in the 90's, when my firm upgraded from 10BaseT to 100BaseT, I just figured it was plenty fast for a home network. That was true then, but it's starting to show its age now it seems. I'm not streaming video, I'm just trying to connect to an otherwise headless box, and I hate getting the | 15:47 |
| dr_willis | keithclark, unetbootin has had issues in the past.. I tend to use tools from the Pendrivelinux web site. | 15:48 |
| Fanda | pmjdebruijn: Some utility? | 15:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | Fanda: commandline | 15:48 |
| keithclark | dr_willis, thanks, I'll check that out as well! | 15:48 |
| tensorpudding | HelloWorld321: you should probably upgrade to ethernet for a home network | 15:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | tensorpudding: 10BaseT is ethernet | 15:48 |
| Dulak | HelloWorld321: try forcing full-duplex on the connection, it might help, but probably not | 15:48 |
| dr_willis | keithclark, and from what i gather of his issue.. unetbootin is not the answer.. but ive just been skimming the channel. :) | 15:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | HelloWorld321: in any case, even Gigabit switch are dirt cheap now | 15:48 |
| HelloWorld321 | pmjdeburijn: that's true. it's time. | 15:49 |
| dr_willis | Finally gotten my whole home over to GB speeds now.. | 15:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | HelloWorld321: also be aware that a hub _shared_ all the bandwidth that does through it | 15:49 |
| dr_willis | and now wireless is taking over. :) so i dont need the wires i ran throught the house.. but im keeping them there for backup | 15:50 |
| Dulak | dr_willis: I had a neighbor that was monitoring my wireless. I moved to all wired just to avoid that in the future. | 15:51 |
| acicula | Dulak: why not just enable encryption on your wireless network? | 15:52 |
| dr_willis | Dulak, :) i can think of some dirty tricks.. but it would be OT for here.. heh. | 15:52 |
| HelloWorld321 | !just | 15:52 |
| Dulak | acicula: I did, he kept breaking the key. | 15:53 |

| red__ | hi help please trying to play a dvd but the machine requests a decryption libary | 15:53 |

| Dulak | acicula: at the time all I had was wep. My point was wireless is open for easedropping pretty easily, whereas wired is not. | 15:54 |
| mver | file permissions: I am logged in as mver, but my files in OpenOffice/LibreOffice are being saved with owner:group = root. When they get to my WindowsXP partition I cannot move them among directories. Gran Dolor! How do I change the default permissions to mver:mver, please? | 15:54 |

| dr_willis | red__, theres also dozens of blog sites that give instructions on what to do exactly. I dont even hae a dvd drive in my pcs. | 15:56 |
| acicula | Dulak: true enough, though for home use you should safe with wpa2, provided you choose a decent passphrase | 15:57 |
| Frijolie | how do you replace colons in file names with a dash in all folders and subfolders given a directory? | 15:57 |
| acicula | *be safe | 15:57 |
| dr_willis | Frijolie, how many files total? I often use the 'qmv' command. but it may be overkill for your needs. | 15:58 |
| HelloWorld321 | Frijoile: using a fancy mv script piped through grep? | 15:58 |
| escott | Frijolie, find + rename perhaps | 15:58 |
| mbrochh | hey all. on a fresh 11.04 install, how can i get the panel color to match the rest of my theme's colors (ambience theme) | 15:58 |
| dr_willis | qmv puts the file listng in a text editor. you edit as you want.. save/quit.. it renames them all :) lets you use the text editors serach/replace/other tols to get the names all just right | 15:58 |
| mver | escott: who owns? Me. i.e. mver | 15:59 |
| Frijolie | unknown number of files and unknown number of subdirectories | 15:59 |
| escott | mver, what does ls -l say for the parent folder. im suspicious that you have the setgid bit set and group ownership of the parent folder to root | 15:59 |

| webira | I tried killing nm-applet and restarting the system. Still no luck.... | 16:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | webira: did you try to upgrade or anyting? | 16:03 |
| Frijolie | rumpe1, "find: unknown predicate -f" | 16:03 |
| webira | pmjdebruijn: No, I haven't tried upgrading or something. | 16:03 |
| AFD | is there a way to roll back dir permmisions I just accidently on the wrong folder? | 16:03 |
| edbian | AFD: no, but you can set them to whatever you want (what they were) but there is no way to know what they were (unless you remember) | 16:04 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, you have a typo | 16:04 |
| webira | Any suggestions? I don't want to do a reinstall of ubuntu | 16:05 |
| bob_ | I am using apache2 for my own website but when I try and access from outside i get asked for username & pass to access the realm EchoLife HG520s | 16:05 |
| edbian | webira: Add the notification-area | 16:05 |
| bob_ | thks in advance | 16:05 |
| dr_willis | webira, as a test make a new user, see if it works for them. | 16:05 |
| webira | edbian: How? | 16:05 |
| escott | mver, perhaps your default group is root, which it shouldn't be | 16:05 |
| Frijolie | rumnpe1, I took out the -f and it's looping through all the files..is it only showing the files which need to be renamed or is it showing all files? | 16:05 |
| edbian | webira: It's an applet (like nm-applet) | 16:06 |
| webira | dr_willis: Hmmm I'll try. | 16:06 |
| edbian | webira: Add notification-area to the panel | 16:06 |
| bob_ | I am using apache2 for my own website but when I try and access from outside i get asked for username & pass to access the realm EchoLife HG520s | 16:06 |
| webira | edbian: I've already right click on the bar...and added it. :) The network icon doesn't appear | 16:07 |
| edbian | webira: wanna do things by cli ? | 16:07 |
| webira | edbian: Sure! If you can tell me....I am a beginner user. | 16:07 |
| edbian | webira: sudo iwlist scan | 16:07 |
| mver | logged on as mver, my main group is mver and my user id IS 1000 (Ubuntu distro) | 16:08 |
| escott | edbian, you might suggest his trying nmcli | 16:08 |
| bob_ | I am using apache2 for my own website but when I try and access from outside i get asked for username & pass to access the realm EchoLife HG520s | 16:08 |
| edbian | webira: That will scan for wireless networks. It should list all wireless networkins in range | 16:08 |
| edbian | escott: I've never used that. | 16:08 |
| webira | edbian: But I need the wired networks :) | 16:08 |
| edbian | webira: oh, is it plugged in ? | 16:08 |
| webira | edbian: Yes | 16:09 |
| edbian | webira: ping www.google.com | 16:09 |
| escott | mver, a mount option on the partition? im running out of ideas | 16:09 |
| edbian | webira: Does that work | 16:09 |
| edbian | ? | 16:09 |
| webira | edbian: No | 16:09 |
| Rebas | I cant seem to install java, i get the liscence agreement in the terminal box, and i scroll down to the bottom, and theres no way to accept it. what should i do next? | 16:09 |
| webira | edbian: It doesn't even work when I try to acces my router | 16:09 |

| bob_ | I am using apache2 for my own website but when I try and access from outside i get asked for username & pass to access the realm EchoLife HG520s | 16:09 |
| edbian | webira: did you do anything that caused it to stop working? | 16:09 |
| AFD | is it possible to rollback a permission change I just accidently on the wrong folder? | 16:09 |
| webira | edbian: Don't know why but it fails to connect to it...if I try from live cd it works just fine. | 16:09 |
| wols | AFD: you already got your answer. it won't change | 16:10 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, lol.. okay, i've made a type. One moment... | 16:10 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, typo not type | 16:10 |
| webira | edbian: I haven't done anything to the system...just surfed the web ;) and listened to some music on vlc | 16:10 |
| diomidis | hello everyone. I've got a laptop with a screen whis is 95% broken. So I got an external display in order to continue to use my laptop. Today I installed ubuntu, I could see the whole installation process through the external screen. So I installed the nvidia drivers and now I can't see through my external screen. How can I fix this? I tried the fn keys but nothing happened. | 16:10 |
| escott | AFD, no. only with filesystems that support rollback which is usually pretty limited | 16:10 |
| milen8204 | anyone knows free English - German dictionary ? | 16:10 |
| AFD | escott sorry I missed it. thanks... | 16:10 |
| bob_ | I am using apache2 for my own website but when I try and access from outside i get asked for username & pass to access the realm EchoLife HG520s | 16:11 |
| Rebas | I cant seem to install java, i get the liscence agreement in the terminal box, and i scroll down to the bottom, and theres no way to accept it. what should i do next? | 16:11 |
| edbian | webira: did you do anything that caused it to stop working? | 16:11 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, find . -type f -name '*:*' -exec echo rename 's/:/-/' {} \; should be better i guess | 16:11 |
| escott | diomidis, the installer was probably automatically mirroring. you would need to use the nvidia-control tools to enable that mirroring | 16:11 |
| webira | edbian: No, I did nothing. | 16:11 |
| edbian | webira: sudo ip addr | 16:11 |
| edbian | webira: Do you see an ip address listed? | 16:11 |
| mver | escott: thanks for your ideas. On partition, hoping this will paste: my /home partition is separate from my /root partition. Here is fstab snipped: #UUID=55fa1f92-968c-4de7-9844-f788ea949c4d /media/linux-home ext3 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 | 16:11 |

| webira | edbian: One day the network manager just stopped appearing in gnome panel...and it failed to connect to my router | 16:11 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, it should send one line for each file with a ":" in its name and the corresponding command, that would be executed, if there weren't an "echo" | 16:11 |
| Rebas | I cant seem to install java, i get the liscence agreement in the terminal box, and i scroll down to the bottom, and theres no way to accept it. what should i do next? | 16:12 |
| Frijolie | rumpe1, will this also rename directories (folders) which may have a colon? | 16:12 |
| webira | edbian: Yes I see a bunch of ip addreses | 16:12 |
| Frijolie | rumpe1, thanks for your help. this will save me a TON of work | 16:12 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, no (because of the "-type f(ile)" | 16:12 |
| edbian | webira: do you see one listed under eth0 beginning with inet ? | 16:13 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf > Keyboard configuration - console: I obtained: "Looking for keymap to install; de-latin1". This is my wanted keymap. I tested it. But when I rebooted, this wanted keymap has gone lost. How to fix this? | 16:13 |
| Zeik | What is the mostly played online FPS game in Ubuntu currently? Anyone know? Or maybe have a good suggestion? I am running an Intel 4500MHD if that makes any difference. | 16:13 |
| Frijolie | rumpe1, so if I omit the 'type -f' it will also search for folders with a colon? | 16:13 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, I'm just not sure, what happens, if there are more than one colon in the filename... maybe you need a "g" for the substition pattern | 16:13 |
| mver | escott: And it is only this way recently. For months I have moved files back and forth w/o permission difficulties except that from Ubuntu to WinXP the permissions are omitted, which is not problem | 16:13 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, then it will search for anything with a colon in it's name (file, folder, device, ...) | 16:14 |
| webira | edbian: Yes | 16:14 |
| edbian | webira: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 16:14 |
| Rebas | I cant seem to install java, i get the liscence agreement in the terminal box, and i scroll down to the bottom, and theres no way to accept it. what should i do next? | 16:14 |
| edbian | webira: The command restarts the entire networking stack. If you see any errors important to tell me what they are. | 16:14 |
| induz | is there any PDF printing permission to allow | 16:14 |
| webira | edbian: No errors | 16:15 |
| diomidis | @escott thank you but I cant configure it because I cant see the whole laptop screen. only a small part of it | 16:15 |
| induz | I have a pDF file but I can not print some pages | 16:15 |
| edbian | webira: Can you get online now? | 16:15 |
| webira | edbian: It says OK :) | 16:15 |
| escott | mver, but this is an ext3 partitons. but you are using it under windows? | 16:15 |
| induz | is there any XPDf kinda thing | 16:15 |
| webira | edbian: I'll have to restart the machine to see | 16:15 |
| edbian | webira: You should not have to restart. | 16:15 |
| induz | I am running Ubuntu 10 | 16:15 |
| escott | diomidis, you might try your laptops external display button, maybe that will work for you | 16:15 |
| edbian | webira: That is the point of that command | 16:15 |
| webira | edbian: Well I am doing this from a live cd | 16:15 |
| induz | pdf printing permission is not allowed | 16:16 |
| webira | edbian: I forgot that :D I am on a live cd now | 16:16 |
| edbian | webira: hahha, oh, we need to do things on the installed system | 16:16 |
| diomidis | @escott you mean fn+key | 16:16 |
| webira | edbian: ^^ Sorry | 16:16 |
| edbian | webira: sure, that explains why everything is working! :D | 16:16 |
| edbian | webira: that's ok | 16:16 |
| escott | induz, usually you have to get the xpdf source, remove a few select lines and then recompile | 16:16 |
| webira | edbian: I'll try the command and hope it works | 16:16 |
| rumpe1 | Frijolie, ah... as i thought: for multiple colons you need 's/:/-/g' | 16:16 |
| Rebas | I cant seem to install java, i get the liscence agreement in the terminal box, and i scroll down to the bottom, and theres no way to accept it. what should i do next? | 16:16 |
| webira | edbian: One more thing, how can I see what network adapter I have? | 16:16 |
| induz | how can I gte xpdf?/ | 16:16 |
| escott | induz, from the xpdf website | 16:16 |
| Frijolie | rumpe1, well I'm running this from a specific folder (Pictures), so it will only search recursively from where I run the command | 16:17 |
| induz | nothing on Ubuntu repo | 16:17 |
| edbian | webira: sudo lspci | 16:17 |
| disse | hey guys, how to switch from normal gnome2 to tty in ubuntu? strg+alt+F1 only spawns a black window | 16:17 |

| edbian | webira: makes sure you have the notification area. In ubuntu the network manager thingy lives in the notification area. | 16:18 |

| disse | all the same rumpe1 | 16:19 |
| disse | just a black window | 16:19 |

| diomidis | @escott nothing happens with any key compination | 16:20 |
| disse | oh, now a black window with an red/orange top bar | 16:20 |
| escott | diomidis, you might ask around and see if anyone has an xorg config file that you can use as a template to modify yours | 16:21 |
| mver | escott: If it is ACL I will have to read up on that off line. | 16:21 |
| disse | is this not working on gnome2 or do i need a root user, natty is my distri | 16:21 |
| disse | i tried to spawn a root when i was logged out with strg+alt+F2 | 16:22 |

| escott | diomidis, you should see the console mirrored (ctrl-alt-f1) | 16:22 |
| disse | oh, i meant ctrl | 16:23 |
| disse | not strg | 16:23 |
| escott | diomidis, alternately install ssh (do it within a chroot environment from the livecd) | 16:23 |
| diomidis | @escott I can see a part of the terminal bcz the screen is broken. also, what can I do with the ssh | 16:24 |
| diomidis | ? | 16:24 |
| javier_ | how do you get firefox to have the same appearance in natty as windows? | 16:25 |
| javier_ | I dont see the icons for refresh, home or anything | 16:25 |
| escott | diomidis, connect to a shell remotely | 16:25 |
| bullgard4_ | javier_: I did install Firefox the normal way. And I do have a refresh button! | 16:26 |
| escott | diomidis, if ctrl-alt-f1 isn't giving you a console but the livecd is mirroring the displays I would follow !grub's chroot instructions up until the point of installing grub, and instead sudo apt-get install openssh-server then reboot and ssh into that machine | 16:26 |

| takasugi | hi. i can execute shell scripts that only got read permission but not execute permissoin. why? | 16:28 |
| diomidis | @escott my laptop's screen is broken and the external display I have attached to it is disabled when I login to my installed ubuntu sustem. When i boot live usb external monitor is enabled (without drivers-nvidia) | 16:28 |
| escott | takasugi, shell scripts are interpreted. what is running is bash not the script itself. the execute permission enables the shebang and the ./execution method but bash script.sh will always work | 16:29 |

| escott | diomidis, boot the live cd then chroot into your ubuntu system. then install openssh-server, then reboot into your system. at this point you can ssh into the system and tweak your xorg.conf file until things work correctly | 16:32 |
| takasugi | ok. thank you. i think problem solved. ubuntu FTW | 16:32 |

| X3D | pmjdebruijn i want to share my load (of my server) with his node... | 16:46 |
| kingofswords | how can i choose priority on files in transmission? | 16:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | kingofswords: rightclick on the torrent and checkout one of the tabs | 16:47 |
| winut | in inspector | 16:47 |
| kingofswords | ok | 16:47 |
| javier | does anyone know how to get the menu bar off unity and into firefox so the browser like it does in windows | 16:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | kingofswords: rightclick/properties/files | 16:47 |
| winut | right click on the files in inspector | 16:47 |
| javier | looks like ^ | 16:47 |
| kingofswords | pmjdebruijn, ok | 16:47 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn? | 16:48 |
| X3D | LooneyLoonz you also from SA? | 16:49 |
| kingofswords | pmjdebruijn, theres no option to unshare or set priority? | 16:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: clustering is a generic term, encompassing various technologies | 16:50 |
| kingofswords | winut, whats inspector? | 16:50 |
| LooneyLoonz | X3D: yup I am :P | 16:50 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: asking for help with "clustering" is like asking for help with "clothes", nobody knows if you're taling about pants, t-shirts or underware | 16:50 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn, i said i want to share the load.... | 16:50 |

| X3D | LooneyLoonz: how old uu? | 16:51 |
| kingofswords | pmjdebruijn, theres no option to set piority | 16:51 |

| pmjdebruijn | kingofswords: the columns? you don't have a priority column | 16:52 |
| X3D | LooneyLoonz oh ok im 16 :P | 16:52 |
| kingofswords | pmjdebruijn, nah must have different ver | 16:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: sharing load and high availability are _NOT_ the same thing | 16:52 |
| LooneyLoonz | X3D: Cool :) | 16:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | kingofswords: it has been there for some time | 16:53 |
| bahamas | btw, where's the system menu because i can't find it. has it been renamed in 11.04? | 16:53 |

| ballroomblitz42 | I have (had) a directory in my home, called dir. I wanted to move this to userB's home, so I did "sudo mv dir /home/userB/" Now I don't see the directory in either place. What did I do? Can I get it back? | 16:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: "bandwidth splitteR" | 16:53 |
| X3D | well thats what im guessing anyways | 16:53 |
| kingofswords | lol | 16:53 |
| takasugi | which is the most used instant messenger in the ubuntu community? | 16:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: you should probably look into round robin DNS, and maybe heartbeat | 16:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: you probably need to read up on networking technology first | 16:54 |
| X3D | and would you reccomend proxmox? | 16:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: there is no simple way to explain what you want, without having prior knowledge of the underlying technologies | 16:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: proxmox is a control panel | 16:54 |
| kingofswords | winut, dont have that either...thx anyway | 16:54 |
| javier | has anyone used kvidtune? | 16:54 |
| X3D | isnt it a VPS control panel? | 16:54 |
| winut | im on osx | 16:55 |
| winut | what are you using? | 16:55 |
| winut | lol | 16:55 |
| winut | i'm using version -2.32 (12526) | 16:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: sure, but it doesn't automatically give your load balance or high-availability for http | 16:56 |
| winut | https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa | 16:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: especially over WAN | 16:56 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: since you can't failover an IP from one connection other to a different connection | 16:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: at least not typically | 16:57 |
| winut | however, like they said, this feature has been around for a long time | 16:57 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn i know that, thats why i am asking, whats a good throttler, or splitter | 16:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: there is no simple fix for this | 16:57 |
| X3D | fail2ban is also good for my VPS? | 16:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | most folks use dynamic dns updates if it needs to be cheap, but that's far off from perfect | 16:58 |

| perlsyntax | anyone | 17:00 |
| escott | perlsyntax, shouldn't make a difference | 17:00 |
| mordof | so.. not sure when, but the popup at the top right recently stopped showing up when i hit next for banshee to play a new track | 17:01 |
| mordof | i think it's using libnotify, but i'm not sure what that's called exactly | 17:01 |
| perlsyntax | Well when i install on gnome i had some black spot showing after it was al updated. | 17:01 |
| mordof | anyone know why? or how to solve this and get it back? i kinda liked it | 17:01 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn, what if my internet download speed is crap? | 17:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: please ask question... not vague stuff | 17:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: what if the download is crap... and ... | 17:02 |
| escott | !language | X3D pmjdebruijn | 17:02 |
| ubottu | X3D pmjdebruijn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 17:02 |
| mordof | really..? | 17:03 |
| X3D | what if my internet download speed is not good? will it affect my VPS? | 17:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | escott: fair enough, I was just semi-qouting | 17:03 |
| BostX | guys can you recommend me a SW where can I design something like a bicycle? | 17:03 |
| * BostX became an idea | 17:03 | |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: why wouldn't it | 17:03 |
| escott | BostX, blender? | 17:03 |
| X3D | so you cant run a VPS with 2 mb/s download speed? | 17:04 |
| Zeik | Why is Ubuntu Gamers Arena currently saying that it is now MacOS software??? | 17:04 |
| escott | pmjdebruijn, its not a big deal | 17:04 |
| mordof | since when is 2mb/s not good!? | 17:04 |
| === jesus is now known as Guest85582 | ||
| BostX | escott, ok, thx... I'll try it | 17:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: you can | 17:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: depends on your workload... how many visitors etc | 17:05 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn, i was told i need at least 100mb/s download speed.... | 17:05 |
| mordof | anyone know what the notifications in the top right (new songs, messages, etc) is called? | 17:05 |
| X3D | in order to run a VPS for 10 customers | 17:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: erhm | 17:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: yeah | 17:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: 10 customers on 2mbit is a bit "tight" | 17:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: please watch what your getting yourself into, you seems to be in way over your head at this time | 17:06 |
| X3D | pmjdebruijn, is it possible to share your load beetween the customers? | 17:07 |
| === rabbit1 is now known as Guest31784 | ||
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: again you are too vague... so I'm stopping now... you really first need to read up on things before you can have a purposeful conversation about this | 17:07 |
| bahamas | is there a keyboard shortcut for the search menu that is accessed by clicking on the icon in the top-left corner? | 17:08 |
| Guest31784 | bought Huawei E367 Internet Device (3G e-stick), unable to install in ubuntu 10.04 AMD 64... any help ? | 17:08 |
| mordof | pmjdebruijn: i'm assuming load balancing, but yeah - X3D i'd say the same thing. do some research on the area before you try anything | 17:08 |
| wols | X3D: you don't need download speed for running servers | 17:08 |
| escott | bahamas, the windows key i believe | 17:08 |
| bahamas | escott: you are correct. thank you | 17:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | wols: he probably has even less upload | 17:08 |
| X3D | wols what do i need? | 17:08 |

| javier | I am looking for ideas on how to correct a display problem i have. I used the overscan and got lines across my tv, so that didn't work. I was pointed toward xvidtune, and i can't figure out how to get it installed and run | 17:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | wols: and even 2mbit upload is not a lot to work with | 17:09 |
| mordof | a 2mb/s internet connection is likely going to have a 75/25 distribution ratio for download/upload | 17:09 |
| wols | X3D: a clue. and to get this clue you need to read a lot as pmjdebruijn suggested | 17:09 |
| javier | I have a 65 inch tv, ubuntu recognized it as 70 inch. it is a 1920x1080, but the desktop is overstretched | 17:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | javier: isn't that just the TV "fitting", make sure your TV is set to "unscaled" | 17:10 |
| X3D | i know about servers, however i do not know how to load balance beetween my customers....and use some of there bandwidth instead of mine? | 17:10 |
| oCean | X3D: I told you before it is not an ubuntu specific technical issue that this channel can help you with. | 17:11 |
| === zz_RobinJ is now known as RobinJ | ||
| LooneyLoonz | lol, sounds as if X3D is trying to do some illegal shit | 17:11 |
| javier | i don't know of such an option in the tv | 17:11 |
| wols | X3D: a customer comes to you to get bandwith. not to bring some of his own... | 17:11 |
| === KNUBBIG_ is now known as KNUBBIG | ||
| X3D | this is ubuntu specific, im using an ubun tu machine to do this | 17:12 |
| wols | pmjdebruijn: why? his TV probably uses HDMI | 17:12 |
| mordof | X3D: just because you're using an ubuntu machine does not mean it's ubuntu related | 17:12 |
| X3D | well then what does it mean, its windows related? | 17:12 |
| javier | yes, I am running an hdmi and radeon 4250 | 17:12 |
| mordof | X3D: it's unrelated to any operating system specifically | 17:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | X3D: it's generic engineering question | 17:13 |
| oCean | X3D: it is not a specific issue. You need to read up on the subject. It's not something we can tell you in a simple howto | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | javier, the nvidia settings tool has a overscan setting i belive. ati may have similer tool and settings. | 17:13 |

| X3D | sorry caps | 17:13 |
| javier | i used the overscan, and I get lines across the tv | 17:13 |
| mordof | dr_willis: radeon is not nvidia... | 17:13 |
| mordof | oh nevermind | 17:13 |
| KNUBBIG | My system sometimes on shutdown crashes and gives me an error trace, how can I review that while in a running system again? And how to I get plymouth splashscreens to work again in 11.04? | 17:13 |
| dr_willis | mordof :) | 17:13 |

| ikonia | X3D: the topic of this channel is Ubuntu support discussion. | 17:17 |
| auronandace | X3D: seriously, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:17 |
| X3D | ok | 17:18 |
| X3D | ill go there thanx | 17:18 |
| mordof | intrader: Honestly for the trouble I had with ubuntu media players, you'll more easily get it to work with a windows VM and passing the ipod through to that | 17:18 |
| KNUBBIG | intrader: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html might eventually help you, although I don#t fully understand your problem | 17:18 |

| KNUBBIG | is it secure to install and use lightdm under 11.04? | 17:19 |
| mordof | grr, this guide doesn't work for the iPhone 4/iPod 4 :/ | 17:20 |
| mordof | so much for hope, lol | 17:20 |
| KNUBBIG | mordof: sorry :-( | 17:20 |
| * mordof carries on using his VM to interact with the device | 17:20 | |
| Guest31784 | pmjdebruijn: an hour? that's too late, will increase the gap, no worries... | 17:20 |
| mordof | KNUBBIG: the VM pass-through with the USB device i set up works perfectly, so i'm really not concerned.. i even did an iOS format that way and it worked fine | 17:20 |
| intrader | mordof, KNUBBIG , from what I read in various pages, Rhythmbox should work, but it does not see the music on the ipod. I have installed iTunes on wine, and with errors reports, it does come up and is able to play its radio stations, but the ipod is not visiible. | 17:21 |
| mordof | intrader: *nods* i spent a lot of time fighting with both rhythmbox and banshee. the VM was simple and works for everything (if you're willing to set that up) | 17:21 |
| KNUBBIG | mordof: you're lucky, for me at some point, my iphone didn't want to be formatted/reset under Windows in any way. Luckily I had a Mac Mini or else I'd have had a beautifully shaped and designed brick :-) Good to hear that it works fine for you :-) | 17:22 |
| mordof | KNUBBIG: in a VM? | 17:22 |
| KNUBBIG | mordof: no, all of that were 'real' systems | 17:22 |
| mordof | KNUBBIG: ah | 17:23 |
| mordof | was gonna say it did give me some trouble, but i found out why | 17:23 |
| mordof | that trouble is only from being in a VM though | 17:23 |
| javier | ok. thank you to all for the help the past two days. I have figured it out. I had to set the scaling to the graphics processor, and underscan just a bit | 17:23 |
| intrader | mordof, KNUBBIG , the problem is that I don't have the installation disk for windows or Leopard, so I don't know how the VM would work for me without them. | 17:23 |
| mordof | ah | 17:23 |
| mordof | i don't think i'm allowed to say any more on that topic >.> lol | 17:23 |

| mordof | pmjdebruijn: though i'm on amd | 17:25 |
| bullgard4_ | maujhsn: Yes it can. | 17:25 |
| mordof | javier: sure, you can mount the entire C drive | 17:25 |
| mordof | javier: ubuntu has full ntfs support now | 17:26 |

| === Guest68149 is now known as toobluesc | ||

| mordof | grrrr, i want my music notifications back! lol | 17:30 |
| javier | ok. i will do some research on how to do it. I luckily have a laptop that I use for experimenting, and the htpc I use once I figure it out. Thanks all! | 17:30 |
| bullgard4_ | maujhsn: Yes. FAT32 is not optimum for this purpose. I have reformatted one of my external HDDs from FAT32 to ext3. | 17:30 |

| gulzar | I downloaded a video from youtube. I want to use it in ppt for my college presentation but libreoffice (lb) is not saving the video even after adding it from insert menu. I think the problem is in the format. IF so then which format should I use? Pitivi is installed. | 17:31 |

| krazykrivda | I keep getting disconnected! ugh.. My mount for my vfat partition is shows this: /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=002) .. but I do not actually have rw access.. even as root.. what can I do? | 17:35 |
| escott | gulzar, are you sure the ppt file would include the video file itself and not just a link to it | 17:35 |
| bullgard4_ | maujhsn: (*smile*) | 17:36 |
| matrixa1 | krazykrivda, nosuid means no inaries can run as root | 17:36 |
| matrixa1 | binaries* | 17:36 |
| gulzar | escott: sure.. ppt is 4.9mb and video is 5mb so total is around 9mb. but the final is 4.9 only. And I cannot see the video in slide. it shows blank | 17:36 |
| nmnama | hello, i'm about to set up mutt + msmtp to send mail through hotmail, but at the moment i keep getting a "SASL authentication failed" - thought my configs seem to be correct: password, account name, domain name etc. are ok... - what could i be doing wrong? | 17:36 |
| maujhsn | bullgard4 OK with me! | 17:36 |
| gulzar | escott: I want the complete video in it.... | 17:37 |
| krazykrivda | matrixa1: i don't care to much about binaries.. this partition merely has my files/docs/pictures/etc on it.. or r u saying that it cannot allow me to cp/mb/etc files? | 17:37 |
| matrixa1 | krazykrivda, cp is a binary you run in order to copy something, I assume it's nosuid blocking it | 17:37 |
| matrixa1 | try removing nosuid | 17:38 |
| skegeek | is it possible to setup a hosting environment (on a desktop installation), and rsync to a VPS - excluding the "desktop" software from the sync? | 17:38 |
| escott | gulzar, you could try using ffmpeg or mencoder to convert the file to another format, but i have no idea what format would work better | 17:38 |
| Drummer | hello? | 17:38 |

| Drummer | are you german? | 17:39 |
| netking | n | 17:39 |
| krazykrivda | matrixa1: my understanding is that nosuid meant you coudln't run a binary FROM that dir? either way.. u believe changing it to suid will work? | 17:39 |

| gulzar | escott: that's the prob.... avi becomes 90mb and small formats are also not supported... It's the format problem. But which one? | 17:39 |
| matrixa1 | krazykrivda, no, just remove nosuid such that: /dev/sda5 on /mnt/FILES type vfat (rw,nodev,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=002) | 17:39 |

| escott | krazykrivda, matrixa1 oops sorry reading some grepped lines together that don't go together | 17:41 |

| mrnobody | how do you change nick? | 17:43 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: hope so. I have a portable version of Ooo for backup and also Linux is on external HDD and I can simply boot with it.....but it will take some time.. So first option is better | 17:43 |
| mrnobody | /nick? | 17:43 |

| fosburg | When first installing 'Ubuntu' the desktop came up 'Unity'. after a couple days the desktop came up differently. Over the next few days--Unity would reappear. Now it is gone. How can I get it back? | 17:46 |

| edbian | fosburg: strange that it's switching on it's own. Log out, click your name, change the session at the bottom, log in. | 17:47 |
| maujhsn | krazykrivda Can UUID help solve your mounting issue? | 17:47 |

| krazykrivda | escott: that's what most have been telling me. and it WAS working.. and one day it stopped.. i had not made any changes to fstab in that time either.. i'm baffled | 17:48 |
| jstarcher | which user should own the report directory? | 17:48 |
| krazykrivda | maujhsn: I did try using the UUID instead.. i get the same results | 17:48 |

I think the problem is in the format. If so then which format should I use? Pitivi is installed. If not then how to do it? | 17:49 |

| kernelpanicker | I want install ubuntu on my laptop, then create a virtual win7 (for work reasons)... what's the best route for this? Should I create the image off the restore partition on the laptop, or is there a way to use the ubuntu installer, then create an kvm image off the shrunk windows 7 partition, then delete that partition? | 17:49 |
| maujhsn | Krazykrivda Sorry! | 17:49 |

| krazykrivda | maujhsn: any suggestiosn help because I am complete at a loss, and this renders my ubuntu setup useless if I cannot edit and create new files on this shared partition | 17:50 |
| escott | swan, !paste it | 17:50 |
| swan | here or in a private chat? | 17:50 |
| wols | swan: in a pastebin | 17:51 |
| AcidRain | ihsw, ill check this out thx | 17:51 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: neither is possible | 17:51 |
| kernelpanicker | yikes | 17:51 |
| kernelpanicker | really? | 17:51 |
| krazykrivda | hah wols do you ever leave?! ;-) and i still have yet to solve my mounting issue.. :-\ | 17:51 |
| AcidRain | krazykrivda, whats your issue? | 17:52 |
| AcidRain | what drive you trying to mount? | 17:52 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: I do have a legit win7 license... am I going to have to go some heinous route with it all? | 17:52 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: restore from restore partition will overwrite your ubuntu and using the shrinked win7 partition in a VM won't work since the hardware will have changed too much (and kvm is the wrong thing to run virtualized windows anyways) | 17:52 |
| swan | ok heres the pastebin link | 17:52 |
| swan | http://pastebin.com/TtTQienH | 17:52 |
| swan | whats confusing me is | 17:52 |
| krazykrivda | AcidRain: i have partition fat on my hardrive that I've used for docuemnts/pictures etc.. it won't mount in a way that I can edit or add files | 17:53 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, windows checks the hardware and will notice that it changes going from real to virtual hardware. | 17:53 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: hmmm... well, they use kvm at the place I work, so I'll have to make it work... | 17:53 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: ok | 17:53 |
| AcidRain | krazykrivda, oooooo i know exactlly what you mean. | 17:53 |
| kernelpanicker | well... in order to run ubuntu, I'll have to figure something out... got to get windows in a box, though | 17:53 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: look at virtualbox instead | 17:53 |
| swan | the atl1c module is being used by 0 things but when i try removing the module i lose my wired connection | 17:53 |
| AcidRain | you can mount certain partitions under a single drive? lol | 17:53 |
| matrixa1 | kernelpanicker, you install ubuntu alongside of win7, ubuntu can "move" the partition to make space for ext4 | 17:54 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: what will virtualbox do over kvm (I'll have to convince my boss on why I don't want to use kvm? | 17:54 |
| matrixa1 | kernelpanicker, i'd advise you to not virtualize win7 inside of ubuntu | 17:54 |
| maahes | anyone willing to take a look at these two error logs and tell me why I can't get cairocompmgr to build? I've already checked and I have the development headers installed for everything that ./configure asks for: Autogen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660608/ configure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660609/ | 17:54 |
| wols | matrixa1: and why not? | 17:54 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: the prob is with lb | 17:54 |
| matrixa1 | wols, because it lacks things like hardware 2D acceleration, and is quite buggy | 17:55 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: virtualbox integrates a lot lot better into your ubuntu. remember: you virtualize a desktop OS | 17:55 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: the recognised formats also cannot be saved.... | 17:55 |
| escott | swan, that is th count of other modules that depend on that module, not devices that require it | 17:55 |
| wols | matrixa1: wrong on both. I run it just fine as a VM and it has full 2d Accel support | 17:56 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: ok. I'm assuming one can only really virtualize a dektop OS, unless I were running some sort of hypervisor | 17:56 |
| matrixa1 | wols, benchmarks will differ, and you know what I mean | 17:56 |
| maahes | hyperverisor is a vm | 17:56 |
| wols | matrixa1: of course it's slower but it will still run fine | 17:56 |
| maujhsn | krazykrivda I think that you will be able to solve your problem eventually! Why not consider booting from a liveCD & using persistence image temporarily? | 17:57 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: yes and no | 17:57 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: what do you need to run on windows? | 17:57 |
| swan | escott, thanks , now my next question, after running lshw and checking out my the driver associated with my network card, I think it's the wrong one | 17:57 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: It's to test stuff on windows, since that's partly what the company does... and I have to make sure it works, | 17:58 |
| wols | swan: which one? both look very much alright to me | 17:58 |
| escott | swan, you may need to blacklist a module in order to get the correct one to load | 17:58 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: we develop software | 17:58 |
| wols | kernelpanicker: test what? | 17:58 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: dll mods etc | 17:58 |
| wols | e.g if you need 3D support, you don't want to use a VM. if it's office productivity software it usually is no big problem | 17:58 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: I definitely, tragically, need a win7 vm if I want to work in ubuntu | 17:59 |
| urlin2u | gulzar, just to play the devils advocate, and I'm a 99% open source user. since your a college student you can get get W7 and the latest word if not word 2007 for less than 100$ US, thats what I did, since I had to turn papers in via the net and could not have their system see my computer to load them. | 17:59 |
| ubuntu | so anybody knows how to isntall bios grub? | 17:59 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: I totally wouldn't even mess with win7 if I didn't have to | 17:59 |
| ubuntu | as i cant boot with it | 17:59 |
| krazykrivda | AcidRain: do u have a suggestion? | 17:59 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: and they're all into kvm, so I'm going to have to make it work, alas | 17:59 |
| AcidRain | my suggestion to you is to format the drive to an ext3 | 17:59 |
| wols | ubuntu: you make no sese "install bios grub" | 18:00 |
| AcidRain | thats what i do with all of my new drives i get. first step i do | 18:00 |
| urlin2u | ubuntu, you can't put grub in the bios, it goes to the mbr | 18:00 |
| kernelpanicker | wols: sad to find out it'll be tough, but oh well | 18:00 |
| escott | ubuntu, assume you are the same ubuntu_ from earlier i think you will need to solve that problem and the fakeraid to get anything to work. do you know if grub will play nice with your fakeraid | 18:00 |
| AcidRain | i forget why, but there is something about linux that cant modify a fat file system. it can, but there are other special tools you need | 18:00 |
| ubuntu | yeah i am | 18:00 |
| AcidRain | and if you are like me, then they arent supported for your distro | 18:00 |
| krazykrivda | AcidRain: well I have over 150 gb of data on it w/an no way of backing it up atm | 18:00 |
| ubuntu | i dont know :/ | 18:00 |
| AcidRain | krazykrivda, yes there is :) | 18:00 |
| ubuntu | i magicallyhave a uknown file system with the bios_grub flag | 18:00 |
| krazykrivda | AcidRain: this was working a week ago | 18:01 |
| wols | AcidRain: any linux for ~10 years by now can modify fat filesystems | 18:01 |
| AcidRain | lucky for you i have a public ftp server with 10000000000 GB | 18:01 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: not a paisa (cent) for WIDOW.... I have to do something else.... ummm lets see. I will one more day and google will surely rescue me. Its already 11:30pm here...pffff | 18:01 |
| escott | ubuntu, there isn't much point in working on one without a solution for the other. ask here or in #grub if grub2 will support fakeraid stripping with your chipset | 18:01 |
| ubuntu | okay | 18:01 |
| urlin2u | gulzar, just put the http address in libre | 18:02 |
| krazykrivda | AcidRain: Im tethered via my phone, w private personal/work files... that option is not really in | 18:02 |
| ubuntu | Does grub2 support fakerai stripping with x58 chipset? | 18:02 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: http for what\? | 18:02 |
| urlin2u | gulzar, youtube | 18:02 |
| swan | wols: atl1c is being used for my wireless card, but thats atheros and I think want to be using the realtek drivers for it | 18:02 |

| moijkLin | is there any way to configure some ehrm. eyecandy on the 11.04 standard gui? resizing windows etc is a bit old fashion | 18:11 |
| swan | wols: is the 3.0 kernel released | 18:11 |
| swan | ? | 18:11 |
| escott | swan, yes | 18:11 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: yes its a big question mark ( the recognised format show a thumnail)....When in slide show the video is played but when saved , it is not. Not in any format. | 18:12 |
| escott | moijkLin, you could try and enable compiz | 18:12 |
| diomidis | @escott permision denied. is there a default password | 18:12 |
| diomidis | ? | 18:12 |
| moijkLin | escott: how? :) | 18:13 |
| intrader | mordof, KNUBBIG , I lost the thread and did no understand lol, but tickled both of you? my problem,my questions? what? | 18:13 |
| skutr34 | can anyone please tell me if I edited my /etc/profile file properly for the Oracle JDK? http://paste.ubuntu.com/660636/ | 18:13 |
| escott | diomidis, i think you are confused about things. you have two computers right? im suggesting that you reboot the one with the bad monitor, and then ssh from the computer that works to the one with the bad monitor | 18:13 |
| escott | moijkLin, install ccsm and then try compiz --replace | 18:14 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: tried inserting from insert menu and with the slide layout | 18:14 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: ummmmm any thing? | 18:14 |
| escott | gulzar, are you sure that the video is supposed to be saved in the file.= | 18:14 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: I don't have much time... | 18:15 |
| StevenR | Aug 7 13:33:57 ford sshd[11851]: Invalid user oper from 218.50.0.182 | 18:15 |
| StevenR | Aug 7 13:33:57 ford sshd[11854]: input_userauth_request: invalid user oper | 18:15 |
| StevenR | damn. stupid touchpad. sorry | 18:15 |
| gulzar | escott: I want to do so. Is it possible? | 18:15 |
| escott | skutr34, you can put the export on the same line as the PATH definition. you also export JAVA_BIN but you dont define it | 18:16 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: anything? | 18:16 |
| diomidis | @escott right now I can connect from my netbook to the bad pc with ssh ubuntu@127.0.0.1 but I dont have access. You suggest me to rebbot to normal mode(not live, but the installed system)? I only installed open-ssh in live usb mode. I don't know what to do with chroot | 18:16 |
| urlin2u | gulzar, it looks like the flv format I'm getting from youtube doesn't work, but there are convertors, like handbrake and others but they take a while to do this. | 18:16 |
| escott | gulzar, i dont know, but i wouldn't be surprised if the normal behavior of the application is for the video to not be embedded but instead to be referenced by a relative path | 18:16 |
| skutr34 | escott: I copied and pasted from a guide that isn't written very well at all | 18:16 |
| gulzar | urlin2u: yes. but even the recognised formats are not being saved | 18:17 |
| gulzar | escott: ummmm big prob.. | 18:17 |
| gulzar | escott: urlin2u: need some WINE for this.. | 18:17 |
| escott | diomidis, when someone tells you to do something like "install openssh inside the chroot" you need to do all those bits. you can't just ignore the parts you don't understand and hope it works. if you don't understand a part of the instructions ask | 18:18 |
| skutr34 | escott: so I can put the all the exports on the same line as the PATH definition? | 18:18 |
| gulzar | escott: even link is not being formed | 18:18 |
| urlin2u | escott, I think your correct there the path to a video that can play. | 18:18 |
| Quagmire | Can someone help me? I did figure out which partition I want to format and then install 11.04 on, but what type of "Use as:" should I pick? | 18:18 |
| escott | skutr34, its just a style thing. you can say export VARIABLE=blahblahblah instead of two lines VARIABLE=blahblahblah; export VARIABLE | 18:18 |
| gulzar | escott: urlin2u: I have to go. Thank You! meet tomorrow :) | 18:18 |
| liekkronoa | HEy guys, i was messing with my Compiz and I can't drag my windows, this includes it's position on screen and changing it's size. Any ideas on what to do? | 18:19 |
| diomidis | @escott i'm sorry if I upset you. I'm just 14 and I try to learn Linux. So, how do I do with chroot | 18:19 |
| escott | !chroot | diomidis | 18:19 |
| ubottu | diomidis: 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 | 18:19 |
| escott | diomidis, its also a way to install software on your real system when booting with the livecd (or to fix broken stuff in the real system by booting the livecd) | 18:20 |
| Guest10267 | whenever i try to use ssb-sprom on a copy of my ssb-sprom file it gives me a corrupt input error, what is going on? | 18:20 |
| Spikestuff | Does Ubuntu log things entered in Terminal to a file on your system? | 18:20 |
| skutr34 | escott: like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660640/ | 18:20 |
| skutr34 | ? | 18:20 |
| escott | diomidis, if you install openssh in your real system using a chroot it will be more convenient for you to access your system from the working computer, and you can experiment with the xorg.conf without rebooting | 18:21 |
| rumpe1 | Spikestuff, usually only in ~/.bash_history | 18:21 |
| === Ool is now known as Ool_ | ||
| Spikestuff | rumpe1: Thanks. | 18:21 |
| === Mud is now known as Guest60678 | ||
| escott | skutr34, sure. that seems reasonable. i dont know what JAVA_BIN is supposed to do, or if it is required | 18:22 |
| ack_syn | hi a friend of mine has updated his VB guest from 4.0.8 to 4.1.0 now the CLI's resolution is 480x320x8 and he can't change it. so now he can't use it. what can he do? | 18:22 |
| === LooneyLoonz is now known as Guest74413 | ||
| diomidis | @escott "Install the dchroot and debootstrap packages." I cant find the in the synaptic package manager | 18:22 |
| skutr34 | escott: in the guide, it didn't have a definitionm | 18:22 |
| swan | is it safe to use the 3.0 kernel in ubuntu 11.04? | 18:23 |
| skutr34 | escott: definition* | 18:23 |
| escott | liekkronoa, sounds like compiz crashed and you don't have a window manager working. if you can run metacity --replace | 18:23 |
| rumpe1 | swan, no | 18:23 |
| ack_syn | I mean VB Guest Additions | 18:23 |
| skutr34 | escott: I'm trying to install Java 7, and for some reason java -version comes out as 7, but javac -version comes out as 1.6.0_26 | 18:23 |
| ack_syn | anyone? | 18:23 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, does your friend have dkms installed | 18:24 |
| escott | diomidis, you don't want debbootstrap thats a rather unhelpful page beyond the basic definitions | 18:24 |
| ack_syn | urlin2u: I will ask | 18:24 |
| skutr34 | escott: the people in ##java won't help, so I thought I would come here | 18:25 |
| ack_syn | urlin2u: yes he does, why? | 18:25 |
| Guest10267 | why cant i modify my ssb-sprom chio with ssb-sprom | 18:25 |
| Guest10267 | every time i try | 18:25 |
| Guest10267 | it gives me a corrupt input error | 18:25 |
| diomidis | @escott I can't find dchroot to install it | 18:25 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, the cli the terminal is the wrong size in the guest? | 18:25 |
| escott | skutr34, which javac will tell you what one is what | 18:25 |
| === eric_ is now known as daliandragon | ||
| ack_syn | urlin2u: yes | 18:25 |
| escott | diomidis, im looking for some better docs. somebody has rewritten the help pages and removed all the useful stuff | 18:26 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, whats the distri in open source you can change the cli sixe from the menu in it. | 18:26 |
| skutr34 | escott: what do you mean? I just type: javac -version in the terminal and the output is: javac 1.6.0_26 but the output of 'java -version' is: 1.7.0 | 18:27 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, sorry for the misspelling, but the terminal if its ubuntu or another has a menu in the terminal to resize it | 18:28 |
| ack_syn | urlin2u: was it a question? | 18:28 |
| escott | skutr34, "which javac" | 18:28 |
| ack_syn | ok urlin2u | 18:28 |
| ack_syn | ty | 18:29 |
| M1_ | Hello. I'm looking to install openjdk-7 on Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a way to get it from a repository? | 18:29 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, hope that makes sense. | 18:29 |
| skutr34 | escott: output: /usr/bin/javac | 18:29 |
| skegeek | Package management is the only total incompatibility for WebMin right? | 18:29 |
| skutr34 | escott: my jdk seven is installed to usr/localjava | 18:30 |
| Guest10267 | does ssb-sprom even work with broadcom STA drivers? | 18:30 |
| ack_syn | urlin2u: actually he is asking for cli size, not a terminal like xterm, etc | 18:30 |
| ack_syn | the problem is on the tty urlin2u | 18:31 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, cli=terminal, do they mean the size of the VB altogether? | 18:31 |
| ack_syn | not the tty emulator | 18:31 |
| ack_syn | the size of the tty | 18:31 |
| escott | skutr34, the ls -l /usr/bin/javac and see if it is a symlink. you may need to play around with alternates | 18:32 |
| urlin2u | ack_syn, I guess I don't understand sorry. | 18:32 |
| Quagmire | guys I'm still trying to find someone who can help me get 110.04 installed on my laptop. I follow directions well, I just need some help. | 18:32 |
| no_face | Quagmire, what is the issue | 18:32 |
| urlin2u | Quagmire, wow thats from the future s it 11.04 or 10.04 | 18:33 |
| intrader | mordof, KNUBBIG , I have tried http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html. Rythmbox wanted to initialize my ipod, and I lost one tune I had on the ipod. The ipod does not show up in the left panel of Rythmbox. I am rebooting. | 18:33 |
| urlin2u | giggety giggety, ;) | 18:33 |
| Quagmire | no_face I want to format the partition that 10.04 was installd in | 18:33 |
| skutr34 | escott: output: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-07-23 11:25 /usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac the usr/bin/javac is a cyan color which i think is a sym link | 18:33 |
| no_face | Format it during the next installation | 18:34 |
| urlin2u | no_face, you on this one | 18:34 |
| escott | diomidis, not sure why they removed the docs. if you want to pm me i can walk you through the chroot | 18:34 |
| no_face | i currently use 10.4 | 18:34 |
| Quagmire | no_face it told me, No root file system is defined | 18:34 |
| urlin2u | Quagmire, make sure the mount is / | 18:35 |
| chenthu | how to find the mac address of my device? | 18:35 |
| escott | skutr34, you need to play around with update-alternatives then | 18:35 |
| escott | chenthu, ifconfig | 18:35 |
| no_face | Quagmire... if you want to clean the drive, remove all partitions and start over | 18:35 |
| chenthu | escott: thank you | 18:35 |
| Quagmire | I was going to leave information behind | 18:36 |
| urlin2u | Quagmire, are you trying to go from 10.04 to natty? | 18:36 |
| no_face | the information in your /home | 18:36 |
| Quagmire | and just format a section of the harddrive | 18:36 |
| azrad | i noob here, ubuntu 11.04; i'm having an issue where options on the frames of windows do not appear until they are maximized | 18:36 |
| no_face | when you installed 10.04 did you create seperate partitions? | 18:36 |
| urlin2u | azrad, have you modified compiz | 18:36 |
| krazyk | escott: would an ex3 partition work fine on windows? | 18:36 |
| wrongturn | no manual entry for part? | 18:37 |
| rumpe1 | krazyk, not really | 18:37 |
| azrad | no urlin2u this is a pretty fresh install | 18:37 |
| no_face | ubuntu installs all into 1 partition | 18:37 |
| Quagmire | no_face it shows 9.04 and 10.04 installed. I was just going to reformat the section 10.04 was in and install to that partition | 18:37 |
| krazyk | What is the best partition type that will work fine w what both windows n ubuntu | 18:38 |
| urlin2u | azrad, so if I understand you the windows are not showing the top panel with the buttons unless you maximize tem? | 18:38 |
| escott | krazyk, there are drivers for ext3 in windows. not sure how well they work there are many more people using ntfs in ubuntu than ext3 in windows | 18:38 |
| urlin2u | *them | 18:38 |
| promithius | Hi! Does anyone know about the configuration file for init process in Ubuntu or Debian systems? Is it inittab like all the systems? Cause I don't see it in the /etc directory. Any idea? | 18:38 |

| swan | hopefully WPA will work | 18:39 |
| urlin2u | azrad, have you installed the compiz config settings manager and changed anything? | 18:39 |
| azrad | urlin2u, i don't think so, i'm kind of a noob, i download this image, installed it, then did the software update, and installed a video driver, that is it | 18:41 |
| promithius | ubottu : Thanks for the help! | 18:41 |
| ubottu | promithius: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:41 |
| azrad | urlin2u, oh and i installed xchat :) | 18:41 |

| tripelb | edbian that's not an interval. I want to do 10 then 5 then 3. I dont care about the time. Only the interval. Calculating time differences from now to what I want is NOT what I want. I will want to do interval after interval. And I care about half-minutes. | 19:08 |

| meekwarrior | cool, i thought it rolled it back, so its the same just diffrent interface? all my settings should stick? | 19:10 |

| RetroMetro | urlin2u: hm... why, it will be easier to change or do something later .... Hey, can I change wubi HD size once when I have installed it, I have 15GB I think, maybe I would need more, I don't know... | 19:15 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: you cannot watch what another user is doing (not that I know off). Regardless of how they're logged, ssh local, or otherwise. | 19:16 |
| RetroMetro | : ) | 19:16 |
| urlin2u | RetroMetro, I think the size is what it is. What hyou may not know is that wubi was designed for a try to see if you like ubuntu, with the inten to dual boot in the end. | 19:17 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: You could (possibly) watch all network traffic using tcpdump or wireshark and then pull out that user's packets (pertaining to ssh) and look at the data in the packets. | 19:17 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: This assumes you have root on either the clients machine or the ssh server | 19:17 |
| escott | edbian, that would be impressive given the encryption of ssh | 19:17 |
| thelala | alternatives to unity ? | 19:17 |
| urlin2u | RetroMetro, to be honest it takes a geek to maintasin it to keep working. | 19:17 |
| RetroMetro | urlin2u: I think I know that, but it seems to me that I could use wubi comfortably if I want... | 19:17 |
| urlin2u | RetroMetro, I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but just warning you of it's perils. | 19:18 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: also ssh is encrypted so you've have to get their key somehow and decrypt it. | 19:18 |
| edbian | escott: good point :) | 19:18 |
| RetroMetro | No, no.. I didn't even thought so.. | 19:18 |
| thelala | alternatives to unity ? | 19:19 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: Also, editing the source code of the ssh server / client you could probably get it to dump everything they said | 19:19 |
| RetroMetro | I just told what's on my mind. | 19:19 |
| RetroMetro | I think I am quite satisfied | 19:19 |
| urlin2u | thelala, the classic desktop? | 19:19 |

| przemo_rex | I want to configure totem rewind times but can't find anywhere the way how to do that. somebody help | 19:19 |
| escott | yeshualooks, logging the commands would be limited they could easily (and often would) spawn new shells that would hide their activity | 19:19 |
| RetroMetro | But it is good for me to know what is behind my next curve perhaps... : ) | 19:19 |
| RetroMetro | Thank You | 19:20 |
| edbian | yeshualooks: sure :) | 19:20 |
| azrad | urlin2u, ok now i'm really in trouble, my gui seems to be jack up... is there a keyboard short cut to spawn a terminal? | 19:20 |
| urlin2u | RetroMetro, no problem it is a good setup but harder to run than a regular install, being that it is just a file ion windows. | 19:20 |
| yeshualooks | edbian: thanks :) | 19:20 |

| astraljava | FreezingCold: http_proxy is the variable you set in the shell. | 19:59 |
| FreezingCold | won't that only add it to the update server mongy? | 19:59 |
| FreezingCold | How do I do that astraljava ? | 19:59 |

| mongy | FreezingCold, sorry dude, I dont really know.. | 20:00 |
| mongy | FreezingCold, never tried before.. | 20:01 |
| FreezingCold | astraljava: will that allow me to ssh through it? | 20:01 |
| astraljava | FreezingCold: No, for that you need corkscrew. | 20:01 |
| mongy | FreezingCold, I have a cheap little vps for any proxy needs | 20:01 |
| FreezingCold | astraljava: just for using a socks proxy...? | 20:01 |
| intrader | Anyone, iPod touch browsable view when I hover over an mp3 or m4a file the music plays - but once I move the cursor off the icon, music stops. | 20:02 |
| astraljava | FreezingCold: I don't think ssh knows how to use proxies, but if it does nowadays, then I just don't know about it. | 20:02 |
| astraljava | intrader: This has _what_ to do with ubuntu? | 20:02 |
| OmegaForte | intrader, That's how the preview function works. You preview it with a hover, and move on when you're done. | 20:03 |
| FreezingCold | astraljava: but it works on Windows... | 20:04 |

| beanluc | Hi, what is a firewire disk drive in /dev ? | 20:08 |
| beanluc | what device name? | 20:08 |
| OmegaForte | beanluc, It'd be under Special Device (sd_) | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | beanluc: sudo fdisk -l will show you | 20:08 |
| beanluc | OmegaForte thanks, if it's not detected do you have any advice? | 20:09 |

| ActionParsnip | StevenR: when you last unplugged the device, what steps did you take? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !gnome3 | seanmc98 | 20:10 |
| ubottu | seanmc98: 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. | 20:10 |

| torllo | thx | 20:10 |
| intrader | OmegaForte, how do I install the PPA? | 20:10 |

| OmegaForte | Wait, that wasn't right. | 20:12 |
| daxroc | Is there a tool where I can get a list of all packages installed and install them on a new box. Is it possible to create a deb file with a list of these dependancys or like ? | 20:12 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: what do you mean by "it" ? (there's 4 usb devices) | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | StevenR: ok and did you use the safetly remove option in the OS? | 20:12 |
| daxroc | dpkg --get-selections will give me the list of installed packages | 20:12 |
| beanluc | ActionParsnip, OmegaForte: thanks for your answers... so /dev/sda* is the only device apparent... I have 2 external firewire drives connected, powered on... any suggestions why I can't see 'em? | 20:13 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: where is this "safely remove option" ? | 20:13 |
| needhelp1 | nezeroth: Bitteschön | 20:13 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: these are not storage devices | 20:13 |
| OmegaForte | beanluc, Uh, depends on the chip. I don't mess with hardware vulnerabilities myself, don't like firewire. | 20:13 |
| beanluc | generally? the only helpfiles I can find talk about mouting the fs once the device is recognized... so googling hasn't helped me | 20:14 |
| beanluc | as soon as I retrieve some data from these drives, I'll never use firewire again | 20:15 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: it's two tv tuners ("DVB usb sticks"), a keyboard and a mouse | 20:15 |

| Matt-Kaludi | I searched on all over web | 20:19 |
| Matt-Kaludi | but i can't find | 20:19 |
| OmegaForte | intrader, Install ipeth libplist usbmuxd | 20:19 |
| Matt-Kaludi | I just migrated to ubuntu from Win7 yesterday, | 20:20 |
| Matt-Kaludi | Can someone please help me? There are no articles for this on web! | 20:20 |
| astraljava | Matt-Kaludi: Sorry, I wouldn't know. Unless someone else on the channel does, there's also the #libreoffice channel, that might give you an answer straight away. | 20:20 |
| Matt-Kaludi | Anyone? | 20:20 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, I bet there are, but ask your question. | 20:20 |
| r0z4 | Hi somebody can tell me is this normal of I need a driver ? http://imagebin.org/166838 | 20:21 |
| StevenR | whee. restarting mythtv releases the DVB devices. *sigh* | 20:21 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, For unity? | 20:21 |
| intrader | OmegaForte, how please, I am confused. | 20:21 |
| Matt-Kaludi | Its not about libre office, I want to know how can i make a launcher of Libre Office writer | 20:21 |
| WarDekar | hey I'm having difficulties getting RSA/DSA keys to work to allow login without a password | 20:22 |
| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte - Yes for Unity, thanks for replying :) | 20:22 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, Wow, you need to make a launcher. Rightclick your desktop, and create launcher. Then...I don't mess with unity, sorry. | 20:22 |
| * StevenR did not expect mythtv to lock the usb subsystem quite like that | 20:22 | |
| WarDekar | not really sure what the problem is, I've done keygen, I've put them in .ssh/authorized_keys and authorized_keys2, I've chmod-ed ~/.ssh and the authorized_keys | 20:22 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, I only work with real user interfaces, not ones for netbooks or cellphones. | 20:22 |
| OmegaForte | intrader, You don't know how to install packages in linux? | 20:22 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: and how are you trying to conect? | 20:23 |
| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte - But unity is available in 11.04 desktop, so..... | 20:23 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, But this page should work for you http://ubuntulife.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/mejorando-libreoffice-con-quicklist/ | 20:23 |
| mattalexx | What's the difference between "adobe-flashplugin" and "flashplugin-installer" packages? | 20:23 |
| WarDekar | ssh user@host | 20:23 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, And is easily disabled. | 20:23 |
| * YankDownUnder thinks there should be a completely different channel JUST for Unity based questions... | 20:24 | |
| intrader | OmegaForte, no idea - I have used apt-get. | 20:24 |
| JJiilles | Hey, I got ubuntu, there is just one thing that makes me wanna go back to windows: Photoshop | 20:24 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: ssh -i /path/to/private.key user@host | 20:24 |
| OmegaForte | intrader, That's how you do it. | 20:24 |
| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte thanks, | 20:24 |
| YankDownUnder | JJiilles, You can run Photoshop through WINE mate. If that's what you're missing... | 20:24 |
| Matt-Kaludi | JJiilles - I used to use WIn7 for photoshop but i dont do it anymore | 20:24 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: i know I've set it up in the past to where i can just do ssh user@host, how do i do that? | 20:24 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, And like I said; there probably was an article about it, and there was. No offense, but I'mma teach you something awesome. It's called man. Man unity opens the manual page for unity, and you'll be able to read about how alla this stuff works. | 20:24 |
| Matt-Kaludi | JJiilles - use the Wine | 20:24 |

| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte , But where can i get this man? | 20:26 |
| JJiilles | I know about wine | 20:26 |
| Polah_ | If I'm using the command: wget -A vvd,vtf,vtx,mdl,phy <site>/fastdl/ttt/models, would that only download .vvd, .vtf, .vtx, .mdl and .phy files from /fastdl/ttt/models and lower? | 20:26 |
| JJiilles | but my photoshop doesn't work underr wine | 20:26 |
| JJiilles | when I open setup.exe | 20:26 |
| JJiilles | it initialises and the ndoes nothing | 20:27 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, Dude, just open terminal and type man package | 20:27 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, You want unity, so type man unity | 20:27 |
| daxroc | JJiilles: if your box is powerful enough and depending on you ps version try a virtualbox with windows. or settle for the gimp / inkscape | 20:27 |
| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte - I already have article you gave me, its for the LibreOffice, I want it for "Libre office writer" For one of the app from that bundle | 20:27 |
| Matt-Kaludi | OmegaForte - thanks, i will try that | 20:28 |
| OmegaForte | Matt-Kaludi, And you can't figure it out with what I gave you. | 20:28 |
| intrader | OmegaForte, it tell me unable to locate ipeth, and libplist | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | JJiilles: i'd ask in #winehq | 20:28 |
| OmegaForte | intrader, Type apt-get update | 20:28 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: ? I've tried this: http://www.ece.uci.edu/~chou/ssh-key.html and other sites have similar instructions, but it's not working | 20:29 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: i also tried the ssh -i thing and it still asked for pw | 20:29 |
| intrader | OmegaForte, still cant locate the two of them | 20:29 |
| stevecoh1 | Thanks for the help about writing a bug - however - the good news is, that with the latest release of Google Chrome, which I just installed, the problem has finally been solved (after months of new versions making no impact). | 20:30 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| daxroc | WarDekar: if its asking you for the password then your public key is not installed | 20:30 |
| yeats | WarDekar: you can do "ssh -v" or "ssh -vv" for debugging info | 20:30 |
| stevecoh1 | I was in the middle of writing the bug report when I thought I'd give it one more try, and that seems to have taken care of the problem. Whether the fix was in Google Chrome, or Ubuntu's distro of same, I'm not sure, but things are good. | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | WarDekar: don't forget the -C option too (compression) ;) | 20:31 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: it needs to be in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with permission 600 | 20:31 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: isn't it installed when I do keygen? | 20:31 |
| Matt-Kaludi | omegaforte - See this article is for Gedit - http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/list-of-custom-launchers-quicklists-for-unity/40299#40299 | 20:31 |

| Polah | yeats: For the command you gave me earlier, could I make it recurse into subdirectories? | 20:32 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: How did you get the public key over, and how did you create the authorized_keys file ? | 20:32 |

| daxroc | WarDekar: are you sure that the public and private key match? | 20:39 |
| r0z4 | Hi somebody could tell me is this normal of I need a driver ? http://imagebin.org/166838 | 20:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: those commands will need to be prefixed with sudo (and gksudo for the gedit command) | 20:40 |
| Matt-Kaludi | Actionparsnip - Thanks for replying, i'm new to this whole thing, Can you guide me a little? | 20:40 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: yeah? all I did was do ssh-keygen and copied it over | 20:41 |
| WarDekar | how would they not match | 20:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: the guides shows you all you need to know, just read it | 20:41 |
| Matt-Kaludi | ok, hold on.. | 20:41 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: where did you save the private key? | 20:41 |
| induz | hello | 20:41 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: mythtv was holding onto one of the DVB devices and locking the usb subsystem | 20:41 |
| mattalexx | I seem to have two clipboards. When I Ctrl+C something from Firefox, then go to the Terminal, I can either right-click > Paste to Shift+Ins and get two different copied string. What's going on there? | 20:41 |
| induz | How can i update my VirtualBox from 3 to 4 version on Ubuntu 10.4 | 20:42 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: on local it was saved to the default, then i copied it to remote's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | StevenR: nice find :) | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: use the virtualbox ppa | 20:42 |
| magn3ts | Why does maven2 depend on gcj and jdk6? Why, oh why, oh why? | 20:42 |
| induz | how | 20:42 |
| Matt-Kaludi | ActionParsnip - you said ""prefixed with sudo (and gksudo for the gedit command)"" What does that means? I thought i have to replace gedit with libre Office viewer | 20:42 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 20:42 |
| StevenR | ActionParsnip: which means if I want to remove them or they break again, I'll need to stop mythtv first (which is a little rubbish, but it appears to be due to a bug in the kernel) | 20:43 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: there are two file created a public and a private key. you only copy one key ( the public ) to the target host. | 20:43 |
| magn3ts | induz, VB maintains different package names for VirtualBox major versions. | 20:43 |
| induz | I have alreaduy dowmloade .db version | 20:43 |
| magn3ts | induz, try `sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0` | 20:43 |
| italoxp | Is it possible to use Unity's globalmenu in Classic GNOME? | 20:43 |
| induz | .deb version ActionParsnip | 20:43 |
| magn3ts | actually, induz, make that virtualbox-4.1 | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: try reading down a few more lines, like the whole page | 20:43 |
| magn3ts | italoxp, yes, it's an applet you can add. | 20:43 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: okay well the private key is in the same place, just without the .pub | 20:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: you just edit the desktop file in /usr/share/applications and you can add any submenu items as you desire | 20:43 |
| WarDekar | i tried again from the start with using ssh-copy-id this time and still doing same thing | 20:44 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: and that place is ? | 20:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: the files are owned by root so you will need gksudo gedit to open the files you edit | 20:44 |
| induz | magn3ts, Couldn't find package virtualbox-4.1 | 20:44 |
| yeats | induz: https://launchpad.net/~debfx/+archive/virtualbox | 20:44 |
| WarDekar | the default, ~/.ssh/id_rsa | 20:44 |
| magn3ts | induz, then you'll need to add the ppa or repo as listed on the page ActionParsnip sent you. | 20:44 |
| daxroc | why are you using rsa isn't that ssh v1 ? | 20:44 |
| WarDekar | well i've tried dsa as well | 20:45 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: if you add the virtualbox ppa, you can install using software centre as normal, the app will also update when the PPA gets updated | 20:45 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: Default ssh in ubuntu has v1 disabled iirc ? | 20:45 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: as I said I've tried DSA as well | 20:45 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, they maintain different packages though, virtualbox-3.0, virtualbox-4.0, virtualbox-4.1, etc. They do not auto upgrade between major versions. | 20:45 |
| italoxp | magn3ts, yes, but it doesn't work like Unity's | 20:46 |
| italoxp | magn3ts, my experiences with it weren't good. | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: sure but if you have 4.1 and the version of 4.1 gets updated, the app will automatically be updated in regular updates | 20:46 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, surely. | 20:46 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: that's what I meant | 20:46 |
| magn3ts | italoxp, I don't know what you mean, they're almost identical except that it doesn't display the application name. I've never noticed any difference. | 20:46 |
| Matt-Kaludi | ActionParsnip - But the gedit software's name is gedit, what should i replace it when i use Libre Office writer? | 20:46 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, I was just explaining since it sounds like he's on vb3 and rather confused. | 20:47 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: I suggest you remove all keys and including the authorized_keys rsa and 2 file and do ony the fist half of that guide you sent ( for version 2 ) | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: edit the file in /usr/share/applications which you want to add the submenu to | 20:47 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: i've done that and it still doesn't work | 20:47 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: The private key needs 600 permissions too. | 20:47 |
| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: gotcha | 20:47 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: rsa is never going to work as that protocol is disabled by default . | 20:48 |
| Blade20 | can someone please explain how "cut" works in a conky setting | 20:48 |
| induz | ActionParsnip, i am trying to add ppa | 20:48 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: alright well i've done what you suggest... gotten rid of the rsa keys, started with fresh authorized_keys, only used dsa, and it still does same thing | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Matt-Kaludi: so you will need: gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop | 20:48 |
| italoxp | magn3ts, Globalmenu is incompatible with some apps. And window doesn't merge with the bar when maximized. | 20:48 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: see what happens when you read more than 10 lines from a given link ;) | 20:48 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: logs , ssh -i -v ? any messages ? | 20:49 |
| italoxp | Btw, Unity's App Menu isn't compatible with Synaptic. Is it a known issue? | 20:49 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: try scp the public key | 20:49 |
| magn3ts | italoxp, that's not related to the global menu widget... that's a property of the unity top panel. So no, that will not work in Gnome2. | 20:50 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: do an md5 to check somethings not being lost in translation. | 20:50 |
| magn3ts | Also, the global menu is incompatible with the same apps that don't place their menus in the unity panel (eclipse, monodev, etc) | 20:50 |
| italoxp | magn3ts, that's sad. I'm dropping gnome-panel, so. | 20:50 |
| magn3ts | gnome-panel is very sad, yes. | 20:50 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: the debug output is the exact same as I gave you before | 20:51 |
| italoxp | magn3ts, it used to work well. But Unity concept and GNOME 3 concept are so intersting that GNOME-panel became boring. | 20:51 |
| induz | Couldn't find package virtualbox-4.0.1 | 20:51 |
| `Kryten` | anyone have any experience with /var and /usr being moved to a USB drive? | 20:52 |
| magn3ts | induz, read the steps one by one and follow them to a T. | 20:52 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: Shouldn't be as it now should be an id_dsa ? | 20:52 |
| magn3ts | induz, or tell us what you've done, and what commands you're using. | 20:52 |
| WarDekar | well the only difference is id_rsa is now id_dsa | 20:52 |
| WarDekar | everything else is the same | 20:52 |
| induz | is it Debian based?/ | 20:52 |
| WarDekar | and it checks blacklist.DSA instead of RSA of course | 20:53 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: and you have set the permissions on it to 600 ( the private key ) | 20:53 |
| magn3ts | induz, is what debian based? | 20:53 |
| wyuka | is there a developer channel for wubi? | 20:53 |
| wyuka | where i can learn about how it works in detail? | 20:53 |
| WarDekar | daxroc: yes | 20:53 |

| WarDekar | all 3 files i have chmod 600 | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: did you run: sudo apt-get update | 20:53 |
| magn3ts | induz, Ubuntu is debian based, yes. | 20:54 |

| `Kryten` | I have some weirdness happening now that I've moved /home and /usr to a USB drive (as temporary measure of course).... the machine is booting and running perfectly, but suffers random hangs, and is not accessible by SSH (it's a headless machine) - almost seems as though the USB is timing out or somthing, and the machine is unable to remount, as the remount command is on the USB drive that is... | 20:56 |
| `Kryten` | ...not available - the only problem is that absolutely nothing shows up in the logs..... any ideas? | 20:56 |
| daxroc | WarDekar: Sorry can't help | 20:56 |
| induz | how can i add ppa? | 20:56 |
| magn3ts | induz, we can't help you if we don't know what steps you've followed. | 20:56 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: it won't. You need to remove that version and install the later version. Its a different app | 20:57 |
| daxroc | induz: google it | 20:57 |
| induz | ppa for virtual box on Ubuntu 10.4 | 20:57 |
| magn3ts | induz, the instructions on that page are step-for-step, just follow them. | 20:57 |
| induz | ActionParsnip, if i remove my guest OS will be erased?? | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: no, the config isn't touched. It's stored in $HOME | 20:58 |
| magn3ts | Installing virtualbox-4.1 will automatically remove the old version. Either way, your machines won't be touched. | 20:58 |
| magn3ts | You need to get hte PPA added and then just install virtualbox-4.1 and all of this will sort itself out. | 20:58 |
| mattalexx | When I add a .xmodmap file and restart Gnome, it asks, "Would you like to load the modmap files?" It includes a "Do not show again" checkbox. When I check that box, where is that "do not show" flag being stored and can I set it manually from a bash script? | 20:58 |

| mk | hey double-prime MK, I remember you | 21:12 |

| stauff | no need compression | 21:40 |
| stauff | btrfs on the drive | 21:40 |
| stauff | so its already compressed | 21:40 |
| italoxp | ActionParsnip, well, that's right. Just checked and I'm running Compiz ._. | 21:40 |
| italoxp | God dammit, I thought that Classic Ubuntu used Metacity Composite | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | italoxp: see what I mean | 21:41 |
| italoxp | ActionParsnip, whatever, vanilla GNOME uses Metacity. Vanilla LXDE uses Openbox. | 21:41 |
| stauff | Partimage does not support ext4 or btrfs filesystems. | 21:41 |
| astraljava | italoxp: Aren't there two "Classics", one without effects, and one without? | 21:41 |
| italoxp | stauff, just use dd | 21:41 |
| stauff | so partimage sucks! | 21:41 |
| italoxp | astra05, yes, but I though the classic used metacity awith composite enabled | 21:41 |
| ActionParsnip | stauff: it doesn't suck, its just not suitable for your needs | 21:41 |
| Fghtd | italoxp, dd if=/dev/<your drive or partition here> bs=4K| gzip > /mnt/compressed_image.img.gz | 21:42 |

| italoxp | Fghtd, I use Banshee. Just works. | 21:47 |
| italoxp | And I also use Empathy, and I know people who can't stand it. | 21:47 |
| italoxp | I don't see any difference between Empathy and Pidgin except the libs. | 21:47 |
| italoxp | And that Pidgin is less stable. | 21:47 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, just use MPD and enjoy | 21:47 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: Yeah, Quodlibet also, just works. And its not based on NO-NO. Its pretty awesome. But it writes <rating> tags that it refuses to delete. I just want to disallow him that. :) | 21:48 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: MPD cannot do things QL can. | 21:48 |
| stauff | so i got now 20TiB Space, i hope thats enough for a year | 21:48 |
| coraxx | wols: thanx for replying :-) ... yes I'm using the non-free version from VirtualBox.org's website ...and I'm having trouble with the RDP-part ...it doesn't seem to work. Besides I'm running VirtualBox on a server, so I will have multiple vm's running ...and even tho I can't set up multiple port (besides the standard 3389), it doesn't matter as most system wont like it. | 21:48 |
| silvering | hi gius, i need GUI software for mounting filesystems (reiserFS) for gnome, i dont wont to mess manually with fstab, can someone help here? | 21:48 |
| coraxx | wols: *can't=can | 21:49 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, I don't understand the NO-NO point. Banshee never gave me problems. | 21:49 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: I dont like microsoft. | 21:49 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, MPD is just a server. Sonata is more powerful than you thing. | 21:49 |
| Fghtd | Using regular expressions to grep a playlist. Can sonata do that? :) | 21:49 |
| wols | coraxx: the other choice is to install a sshd in the client VM and connect through that | 21:50 |
| mattalexx | What's the best way to set Preferred Applications from the command line? Not just the very short list that you find in the Gnome menu, but all of them. | 21:50 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: Although, if I´d spend lot of time in terminal and on single machine, I´d use MPD no question. | 21:50 |
| newbuntguy | virtualbox4.1 giving me head ache | 21:51 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, never tested. | 21:51 |
| italoxp | silvering, fstab doesn't bite. | 21:51 |
| italoxp | silvering, if you add an incorrect line, it won't break. The partition won't be mounted. Just it. | 21:51 |
| italoxp | stauff, you have a lot of space. | 21:51 |
| gack | hey ppls, anyone have any advice for me? I tried installing ubuntu 11.04. Installation worked, but now it won't load when I restart. It says kernel not found when I try entering boot mode too. | 21:51 |
| italoxp | stauff, I wonder why | 21:51 |
| gack | rescue i mean | 21:51 |
| wols | mattalexx: what are "Preferred Applications"? you have a prompt where you can enter any binary name you want | 21:51 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, what does banshee have to do with Microsoft? | 21:51 |
| edbian | gack: Can you boot a liveCD ? | 21:51 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: I think his btrfs is too optimistic about how much it can compress :D | 21:51 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: MONO | 21:52 |
| coraxx | wols: that part I have already set up ...so the internal workings of the vm is accesible :-) ...however I would still like to have console access. I have tried to do the 'ssh -X -C user@xx.xx.xx.xx VirtualBox' which starts the VirtualBox client on a remote PC ...and it shows which machines a running, which is good...just can't access the console :-( | 21:52 |
| escott | mattalexx, you would have to use gconftool-2. use gconf-editor to determine what the keys are | 21:52 |
| italoxp | Mono and Microsoft? Really? | 21:52 |
| gack | edbian: i haven't tried, I just did it off a usb | 21:52 |
| italoxp | One good thing that Canonical could do is make Exaile the default. I like it. | 21:52 |
| edbian | gack: Boot the USB back up then (and choose try ubuntu). Do you have raid or more than 1 hdd or anything quarky?) | 21:53 |
| italoxp | But installing it would waste disk space. | 21:53 |
| italoxp | And uninstalling Banshee would break the Sound menu. | 21:53 |
| gack | no. old computer. it just has a single hard drive. | 21:53 |
| sanya | is there any possibility to force a resolution that ubuntu does not recognize as possible apart from xrandr? | 21:53 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: yes. | 21:53 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, didn't know that .- | 21:53 |
| italoxp | -.- | 21:53 |
| escott | sanya, you can force a modeline with xrandr | 21:54 |
| italoxp | Guys on #fedora-social have been talking about movies since 3 PM. That was 3 hours ago. | 21:54 |
| escott | sanya, or you can directly modify the xorg.conf | 21:54 |
| newbuntguy | where do i need to go to find help with virtualbox,.. | 21:54 |
| edbian | gack: ok. Please use my name when talking to me | 21:54 |
| intrader | Oops, upgrade to 11.04 hanging on file 398 - what should I do? | 21:54 |
| urlin2u | so I have installed oneiric next to natty in a extended both have encrypted homes, it seems that once I booted to natty that the oneiric partition is now unknown, I switched the boot control to natty in the mbr, not a big deal but I'm a little confused I have not used encryption before. | 21:54 |
| sanya | escott tried xrandr ... it tells me that it failed to get size of gamma | 21:54 |
| gack | edbian: sorry, forgot to type it! I've tied installing it twice. same thing happened the second time. | 21:55 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: do you have a specific question (I might be able to answer :) ) ? | 21:55 |
| Fghtd | italoxp, mono is reimplemetation of .net, based on open specs. The whole .net technology however is in hands of microsoft, including patents, design and implementation of extensions. Many .net applications usually break on mono. I see mono just as WINE. It is environiment to (try to) run something that won´t run natively. | 21:55 |
| stauff | intrader: restore your files and upgrade again | 21:55 |
| sanya | escott when i modify xorg.conf ubuntu won't start anymore - guess i made some mistake or something ... | 21:55 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: Using MONO-based music player for listening music is just same as using Win32-based music player in WINE. I dont need that :) But if you cannot resist, like say you cant live without winamp, its understandable. | 21:56 |
| newbuntguy | CORAX its something to do with Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) | 21:56 |
| sanya | escott i mean, i first have to create an xorg.conf as there is none and if i do and try to set it up ubuntu just won't start | 21:56 |
| intrader | stauff, can 'Simple Backup Restoration' do it? | 21:56 |
| edbian | gack: boot the liveUSB please :) | 21:56 |
| qin | Fghtd: Audaciuous (winamp like) | 21:56 |
| stauff | fghtd: i use foobar2000 with it, because winamp sucks | 21:56 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, it's just the default one. And it plays music. That's enough. | 21:57 |
| escott | sanya, forcing modelines is not something you should normally have to do, unless you are connected by an analog cable. you should use X -config to generate your initial xorg.conf | 21:57 |
| Fghtd | qin: heh, that was just an example. | 21:57 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, I just need something that can make a random playlsit with 100gb of music. Banshee does that. Period. | 21:57 |
| gack | edbian: does that mean select the 'run ubuntu from this usb'? I'm not very tech-savvy :) | 21:57 |
| italoxp | In Arch I use Audacious. It's small and does what I need. | 21:57 |
| stauff | random playlists, easy | 21:57 |
| escott | gack, yes | 21:57 |
| Fghtd | otaloxp: I have no problem with your own personal choices :) Mine are different though, I think its fine :) | 21:57 |
| italoxp | In Windows I use Aimp, that's like Audacious. Enough. | 21:57 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: I have no problem with your own personal choices :) Mine are different though, I think its fine :) | 21:57 |
| sanya | escott it's an old CRT without DVI ... but X -config in terminal? | 21:57 |
| gack | escott, thanks! | 21:57 |
| edbian | gack: yes | 21:57 |
| qin | Fghtd: but I also belive in non-mono solution... | 21:58 |
| osmosis | I am trying to install ubuntu, but the ubuntu installer doesnt see my windows7 volume. things the hd is all free space. I dont want to overwrite win7. How can I get the ubuntu installer to recognize it? | 21:58 |
| newbuntguy | coraxx: I can get it to work but i have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup from terminal | 21:58 |
| edbian | gack: wanna PM (if it's easier to follow for you) ? | 21:58 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, dont need to double post when mispelling my nick ;) | 21:58 |
| Fghtd | qin: I dump mono altogether :) | 21:58 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, just use tab completition | 21:58 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: Sorry about that:) | 21:58 |
| stauff | just do a ls -r *.mp3 >>blah.pls and then randomize it | 21:58 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: ok ...that usually means that there has been a kernel update....and you need to run the 'vboxdrv' | 21:58 |
| gack | edbian: sure. how do you do that? | 21:58 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: (sorry you were a faster typer than me :) ) | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | osmosis, since you have gpt i would get the help on the forum as I suggested, you can mess that computer up. | 21:58 |
| osmosis | urlin2u, whats GPT ? | 21:59 |
| newbuntguy | way faster | 21:59 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: is there a problem in running it from the terminal ? | 21:59 |
| escott | sanya, Xorg -configure apparently it will put the file in the cwd and you need to copy to /etc | 21:59 |
| Fghtd | stauff: Hm, how about picking music from specific year, which is tagged as "5 stars" and which genre is electronic. | 21:59 |
| sanya | escott where's cwd? | 21:59 |
| newbuntguy | coraxx: im way faster than yo | 21:59 |
| italoxp | stauff, what -r argument stands for? | 21:59 |
| italoxp | My AWN bar is 22 pixels high because of space issues. I need my glasses. | 21:59 |
| italoxp | And they're dirty | 21:59 |
| Fghtd | stauff: But if you dont have huge music Db or you use filesystem to group music, then any player is pretty efficient. | 22:00 |
| escott | sanya, whatever your terminals working directory is (current working directory) | 22:00 |
| === iqpi|afk is now known as iqpi | ||
| coraxx | newbuntguy: did you read my previous question ? | 22:00 |
| gack | edbian: ok, it's loaded up. what should I do now? | 22:00 |
| urlin2u | osmosis, it is a little different than a regular ext type and needs special treatment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table | 22:00 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, using filesystem to group music. What? | 22:00 |
| qosis | Hi everyone. I recently swapped to Ubuntu on my laptop (HP Envy 14). It has both a discrete and an integrated card. The discrete card (Radeon) has a bunch of issues, so the only way to boot into Ubuntu is to set radeon.modeset=0 in my boot options. Once I disable the radeon in the boot options, vga_switcheroo disappears, so I have no way of powering down the discrete video card. Does anyone know any alternate way to prevent the discrete c | 22:00 |
| qosis | ard from consuming power? | 22:00 |
| edbian | gack: you need to mount you ubuntu / partition. | 22:01 |
| sanya | escott it tells me there is a fatal error because server is already active for display 0 :| | 22:01 |
| edbian | gack: Do you know how to do that? | 22:01 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: Yes, I mean keeping music within directories and stuff | 22:01 |
| escott | sanya, you could service gdm stop or you could try and run it on :1 but you need to run it from outside X | 22:01 |
| newbuntguy | /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in terminal makes it work until for this session but not after reboot | 22:01 |
| escott | sanya, ctrl-alt-f1 over to a console | 22:01 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, oh right. Like Music/Artist/Album/.mp3 ? | 22:01 |
| gack | edbian: no. what do i do | 22:01 |
| urlin2u | osmosis, if I knew anything about it would help. But I know enough to say follow that link I gave and that specific member at the UF, they are a expert with gpt. | 22:01 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: strange ...which kernel are you currently running ? | 22:02 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, I do that. And 100gb is not a big collection. | 22:02 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: pretty much yeah. Again depends on your choice. | 22:02 |
| sanya | escott can i get the service to start again after i'm done without reboot? | 22:02 |
| === sandok45 is now known as castor45 | ||
| italoxp | Fghtd, Banshee is having trouble scanning my library. God dammit. | 22:02 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: I use both. The music is stored within folders describing its origin and has itself tags which describe pretty much everything else. | 22:02 |
| edbian | gack: PM me :) | 22:02 |
| italoxp | Fghtd, how much mb's this Quodlibet | 22:02 |
| newbuntguy | 2.6.35-30 | 22:02 |
| Fghtd | italoxp: dunno, few I guess. | 22:03 |
| stauff | fght i still wondr why you dont use foobar2000 | 22:03 |
| Fghtd | stauff: why should I use foobar2k? | 22:03 |
| escott | sanya, service gdm start | 22:03 |
| stauff | because it runs very well with wine | 22:03 |
| Fghtd | stauff: I dont need wine to run music players :) | 22:03 |
| urlin2u | osmosis, good luck make sure you back up everything before you do any more. | 22:03 |
| sanya | escott thx, i'll try it :D | 22:03 |
| stauff | wine is not an emulator | 22:04 |
| qosis | Is there a way to power off a discrete video card? Disabling the module hasn't worked for me. | 22:04 |
| edbian | gack: You there? | 22:04 |
| Fghtd | stauff: QL does everything I need and that - fast | 22:04 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: (maverick meerkat I presume) ...alright ...how many times have you tried running the 'vboxdrv setup' and the rebooted subsequently after ? | 22:04 |
| Fghtd | stauff: what? | 22:04 |
| stauff | well i didnt find anything faster then fb2k | 22:04 |
| newbuntguy | yesir | 22:04 |
| gack | edbian: yes. I don't know how to PM you. this is the first time I've done anything like this (ubuntu and chat rooms) | 22:04 |
| italoxp | I'd like to use Audacious in Windows ._. | 22:04 |
| edbian | gack: sure, no worries. I sent you a message. Look on the left (under the #ubuntu channel) | 22:05 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: (remember to write who you are talking to :-) ) | 22:05 |
| italoxp | AIMP2 is pretty good but... It's not like Audacious. | 22:05 |
| escott | qosis, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66577 perhaps | 22:05 |
| Fghtd | stauff: I use wine to run fallout 2 and similar stuff that I need, but which has no equivalents or does not run with normal methods. | 22:05 |
| stauff | and i got 6TB of flacs | 22:05 |
| coraxx | wols: have you ever seen the VRDP server feature work in VirtualBox yourself ? | 22:05 |
| newbuntguy | a couple of few. but i have also uninstalled the pae version | 22:06 |
| qosis | Is there a way to power off a discrete video card? Disabling the module hasn't worked for me. | 22:06 |
| escott | qosis, you may even be able to echo some text to /sys/devices/pci..../power/something | 22:06 |
| krazykrivda | wols: escott: just wanted to say somehow I managed to get my partition mounted properly.. I changed the fat32 partition to fat32 (lba 0x0c), and I used this in fstab: /dev/sda5/mnt/FILES/ vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=00000 | 22:07 |
| edbian | qosis: plug the monitor into the othe video device | 22:07 |
| krazykrivda | escott: wols and than you for your time and help | 22:07 |
| diamonds | my english localization is messed up | 22:07 |
| diamonds | "Some of our favourites" | 22:07 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: have you installed VirtualBox from a single downloaded .deb-file (from VirtualBox.org) or have you installed it from the repositories (either the virtualbox.org-reps or Ubuntu's own for the OSE-version) ? | 22:07 |
| astraljava | diamonds: en_GB, perhaps? | 22:07 |
| escott | krazykrivda, odd i wonder if it was the partition type flag or the iocharset that was the issue | 22:07 |
| qosis | edbian, it's a laptop, so there's no monitor to plug into a video device. Let me see if I can find the video card under devices | 22:07 |
| newbuntguy | .org | 22:07 |
| diamonds | is there really only one English localization? I bet Spanish has at least two... | 22:07 |
| edbian | qosis: Well then you likely can't turn the video card off :) | 22:08 |
| astraljava | diamonds: There are loads. | 22:08 |
| diamonds | astraljava: this is just the install screen... but I did pick english and note that i'm in boston, USA | 22:08 |
| wols | edbian: en_US, en_GB | 22:08 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: (remember to write who you are talking to :-) ) | 22:08 |
| edbian | wols: pardon me? | 22:08 |
| qosis | edbian: Ahh, darn :( | 22:08 |
| diamonds | edbian: he meant me :P | 22:08 |
| tiox | eNGLISH LOCALIZATION OF WHAT? | 22:08 |
| tiox | uBUNTU? | 22:08 |
| edbian | qosis: If it's a laptop it's probably hardwired into the motherboard | 22:08 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: ok...but .deb or repos. ? | 22:08 |
| edbian | diamonds: :) | 22:08 |
| tiox | And caps. Fail. | 22:08 |
| krazykrivda | escott: I still have no idea how or what broke it.. but it is working for the time being.. of course after I shuffled the copied 150 gb onto my other partitions to prepare to format | 22:08 |
| wols | edbian: was for diamonds I guess | 22:08 |
| h4mz1d | Having some video issues, where dragging windows seems "jerky", kinda like drags, similar issue when scrolling up/down in chat & browsing internet... Any ideas? | 22:08 |
| diamonds | I think perhaps the install screens just aren't fully localized (?) | 22:09 |
| diamonds | (to en_GB vs en_US) | 22:09 |
| qosis | edbian: Using vga_Switcheroo, I can prevent it from getting power. I'm just trying to figure out a way to do it without vga_switcheroo | 22:09 |
| edbian | wols: hahaa | 22:09 |
| edbian | qosis: Oh really! I think you know more than I do. | 22:09 |
| Fghtd | h4mz1d: your video card model, driver and distribution would be very viable information :) | 22:09 |
| newbuntguy | corax: from virtual.org the right version for my ps | 22:09 |
| astraljava | diamonds: It's probably just that, it won't switch the strings according to which timezone you just selected. | 22:10 |
| sanya | escott thanks, now at least i do have an xorg.conf-file :D now the only trouble is ... what's the command for opening a file in terminal (cause i can only access it read-only without sudo)? | 22:10 |
| newbuntguy | corax: like i said it works fine i just have to do the terminal vdrv thing | 22:10 |
| diamonds | must I change my localization later then? | 22:10 |
| diamonds | meh, I'll just wait and see | 22:11 |
| diamonds | see if it spellchecks civilisation | 22:11 |
| h4mz1d | the video card is Intel HD Graphics 3000 which i believe is integrated, its a thinkpad t420, and this is my first time on ubuntu so I am unsure what drivers im using | 22:11 |
| astraljava | diamonds: It's very easy, just go to the Language support manager. | 22:11 |
| newbuntguy | corax: but in gui hit start and thats when i get message | 22:11 |
| escott | sanya, thats an appropriate permission for it, you don't want just anyone messing with it. use gksudo $EDITOR xorg.conf to edit it | 22:12 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: There are two option when you install from virtualbox.org ...you can either visit the download-section and download a certain version that matches your ubuntu ...OR ....you can add the virtualbox.org's repositories to your Ubuntu and thereby installing and maintaining it through there ...so for me to give you a solution, I will need to know which you have chosen ? | 22:12 |
| italoxp | Guys, which command should I use for ls also list subdirectories? | 22:12 |
| escott | h4mz1d, that will have built in drivers. is this a sandybridge or a bloomfield? | 22:12 |
| newbuntguy | corax: i take that back its only after i terminal and hit start in gui that it works | 22:13 |
| italoxp | stauff, do you know? | 22:13 |
| newbuntguy | ahh | 22:13 |
| h4mz1d | sandybridge | 22:13 |
| newbuntguy | corax: ahha | 22:13 |
| h4mz1d | all process on the computer run quickly, its only the video that is draggy | 22:13 |
| escott | h4mz1d, it will be better in 11.10. processor is too new to be well supported | 22:14 |
| tiox | Just for everyone's information, not sure how relevant this is, Ubuntu does have multiple English locales. Sometimes a Ubuntu installation goes wrong and misconfigures the locale of your machine. | 22:14 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: I felt you had an AHA-Moment :-) (I'm spelled with 2 X's) | 22:14 |
| diamonds | why is Evolution mail standard rather than Thunderbird? | 22:14 |
| h4mz1d | so a upgrade to 11.04 -> 11.10 would be helpful? | 22:14 |
| escott | diamonds, 11.10 | 22:14 |
| diamonds | who thinks one is better? :p | 22:14 |
| newbuntguy | corax: I need the repository solution | 22:14 |
| diamonds | escott: oh that's a new change? | 22:14 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: exactly :) (I'm still spelled with 2 X's) | 22:14 |
| escott | h4mz1d, 11.10 is still alpha and pretty rough around the edges, but it should be better, although everything else will be rocky | 22:15 |
| diamonds | I stopped using thunderbird on windows a while back cuz it was unstable but I assume it's improved (and runs better on linux...?) | 22:15 |
| h4mz1d | escott, i might hold off for a bit as it doesnt effect me too much -- thanks tho as I will certainly upgrade in the future | 22:15 |
| escott | diamonds, i believe its on the list of planned changes. you can always modify the preferred applications though | 22:15 |
| diamonds | escott: oh ok so tbird in, evolution out? | 22:15 |
| escott | diamonds, iirc | 22:16 |
| diamonds | escott: I know I can switch, I'm just taking the lay of the land... hopefully I'll just pick one and be happy :) | 22:16 |
| sanya | escott thx a lot already, hope i'll somehow manage from here on | 22:16 |
| newbuntguy | coraxx: we have voip so i have to go ill google it thanks for the help ill be back in an houre hopfully youl be here if not ok but thanks | 22:16 |
| coraxx | newbuntguy: you're welcome...good luck to u :-) | 22:16 |
| italoxp | I'm yet to mess with remastersys. It'd be nice to have I livecd in my way. | 22:17 |
| italoxp | Guys, uninstalling Banshee, Tomboy, Ubuntu One, Evolution Empathy and their respective leaves would mess something in the system? | 22:17 |
| italoxp | Oh, include Gwibber. | 22:17 |
| coraxx | wols: have you ever seen the VRDP server feature work in VirtualBox, yourself ? | 22:18 |
| samthewildone | how do I backup my bookmarks on firefo 5 | 22:18 |
| Redb3ard | italoxp, what are you replacing banshee with? | 22:18 |
| italoxp | For example, Evolution, Empathy and Gwibber together make the messaging menu, right? Would remove them break it? | 22:18 |
| Redb3ard | italoxp, just out of curiosity | 22:18 |
| italoxp | Redb3ard, QuodLibet or Exaile. Haven't decided yet. | 22:18 |

| italoxp | Redb3ard, I have good experiences with Exaile, and guys are recommending QuodLibet | 22:18 |
| OmegaForte | Stupid LG blu-ray burner. | 22:19 |
| samthewildone | Anyone ??? This is an emergency ! | 22:19 |
| italoxp | Guake is lovely | 22:19 |
| samthewildone | I'm running 11.04 | 22:19 |
| escott | samthewildone, bookmarks -> show all bookmarks -> export and import | 22:19 |
| mlt- | samthewildone: use builtin sync thing | 22:19 |
| OmegaForte | samitheberber, I highly doubt this is an emergency. And it's not a ubuntu issue. It's a firefox issue. | 22:19 |
| samthewildone | I did but that option is not highlighed | 22:19 |
| yeats | samthewildone: what's the larger issue that's making this an "emergency"? | 22:20 |
| mlt- | any1 is using cpufreqd? | 22:20 |
| escott | mlt-, a bunch of those things moved around. you may just want to echo your desired scheduler value into the appropriate /sys/devices/cpu/.../power/ file | 22:20 |
| OmegaForte | yeats, You know how it is; he may be late for his tanning session. God forbid he have to reschedule. | 22:20 |
| samthewildone | I want a manual bookmark export like in the old days | 22:20 |
| coraxx | OmegaForte: lol :-) | 22:21 |
| samthewildone | Not sync.... just simple extract the bookmarks | 22:21 |
| mlt- | escott: I want to lower freq when CPU gets too hot. Otherwise I'm find with ondemand scheduler | 22:21 |
| accel | is there a command line tool that will take any pdf file and "embed" it in a 8.5x11 pdf file? | 22:22 |
| OmegaForte | coraxx, It's funny innit. Bet you twenty dollars it's true. | 22:22 |
| Redb3ard | italoxp, i've been using banshee for a while now and it's just too buggy for me. | 22:22 |
| italoxp | Redb3ard, well, it's crashing when trying to scan my library | 22:22 |
| diamonds | samthewildone: you tried this? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file | 22:22 |
| wols | coraxx just did. worked fine | 22:22 |
| italoxp | Oh, wait. Not anymore. | 22:22 |
| italoxp | But cleaning the system would be nice. | 22:22 |
| mlt- | accel: there are a bunch of stuff related to LaTeX that can do a lot of fancy stuff with pdfs from command line | 22:22 |
| coraxx | wols: damn :-) what's your secret buddy ? | 22:22 |
| italoxp | Good times when Rhythmbox was the default | 22:22 |

| samthewildone | Here's a link of my problem | 22:23 |
| coraxx | wols: I have 'clicked it. ...I have 'typed it' ...and it got me nowhere :-( | 22:23 |
| samthewildone | http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/838526 | 22:23 |
| OmegaForte | samitheberber, I don't think you HAVE a problem. And it's damn sure not a ubuntu Issue. | 22:23 |
| samthewildone | OmegaForte: :-| | 22:23 |
| samthewildone | OmegaForte: we already calling names eh ? | 22:23 |
| OmegaForte | samitheberber, OH crap sorry homes. | 22:23 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Um...and the reason you're not asking this in the #mozilla channel is....??? | 22:24 |
| wols | coraxx: just enabled it in the vbox control panel and started the VM. then connected to the specified rdp port on the host computer | 22:24 |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: no because its more of a ubuntu problem than mozilla | 22:24 |
| OmegaForte | samthewildone, Dude, you don't have a problem. And I ain't called you names yet. So check yourself. | 22:24 |
| coraxx | wols: on the 'remote computer' I assumed you meant ;-) | 22:24 |
| samthewildone | OmegaForte: sorry | 22:24 |
| wols | coraxx: no, the host computer I mean | 22:24 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Um...yeah. Right. "BOOKMARKS => ORGANISE => EXPORT" | 22:24 |
| * samthewildone lowers his fake plastic gun | 22:25 | |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: | 22:25 |
| wols | coraxx: the host on which vbox runs and which executes the client VM | 22:25 |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/838526 | 22:25 |
| coraxx | wols: the host computer doesn't have XServer or any graphics libraries installed...its a server...an Ubuntu server....can't run Terminal Client on that | 22:25 |
| wols | coraxx: it doesn't matter. it has a network connection | 22:25 |
| wols | coraxx: you don't run the rdp client there, you point your rdp client to it. | 22:26 |
| CoJaBo | Why would I be getting a "permission denied" error on a local mounted NTFS disk, as root? | 22:26 |
| CoJaBo | Is there a way to show more info? | 22:26 |
| coraxx | wols: sorry I misread...you wrote 'on to the host' ...I read it as 'on the host connect to it' | 22:26 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, I'm using FF5...."Show all bookmarks => Import and Backup => Export HTML | 22:27 |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: let me check my friend ! | 22:27 |
| samthewildone | :-D | 22:27 |
| coraxx | wols: I know ... (don't worry, I'm an IT guy ..trust the server/client relationship is a prerequitsite for this job ;-) | 22:27 |
| coraxx | wols: *trust me | 22:27 |
| samthewildone | There is no other options @ the top | 22:28 |
| samthewildone | Just two arrows ... left / right | 22:28 |
| OmegaForte | samthewildone, There should be a manual backup function in the bookmarks manager. | 22:28 |
| samthewildone | Nope | 22:28 |
| samthewildone | OmegaForte: that's what I'm trying to stress | 22:28 |
| samthewildone | There is no other options | 22:29 |
| OmegaForte | samthewildone, Then you broke it; and I attest that this is not a UBUNTU issue; and doesn't belong here. | 22:29 |
| samthewildone | OmegaForte: Don't tell what I did | 22:29 |
| samthewildone | I just installed Ubuntu | 22:29 |
| AcidRain | lol he broke it | 22:29 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Then it's either a FONT issue or you're using Unity. Either which, the font issue is usually fixable quickly. Unity? I don't do Unity because it's too infantile. | 22:29 |
| samthewildone | Yup Unity | 22:29 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Log out, use "Classic Desktop", export your HTML, then go back to Infantile Unity. | 22:30 |
| italoxp | Unity sucks | 22:30 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Issue resolved. | 22:30 |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: my dad is going to do that right now | 22:31 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Then buy yer dad a beer when it's done. Good boy. | 22:31 |
| samthewildone | lol | 22:31 |
| samthewildone | im the programmer he's the hardware / network guy | 22:31 |
| samthewildone | But this really troubled us | 22:31 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Then buy him a case of beer. | 22:32 |
| samthewildone | especially me... I was like what the ! | 22:32 |
| samthewildone | lol | 22:32 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Look mate, in all reality, Unity is still in it's infant stages, and it was meant for netbooks, not for desktops. Bad decision to push it to the public the way it was pushed. If I was y'all, I'd think about removing it all together - in order to keep a consistent usability environment, mate. | 22:33 |
| samthewildone | YankDownUnder: Interesting... | 22:33 |
| YankDownUnder | samthewildone, Just the facts, Jack. | 22:33 |

| AcidRain | and i am offended that ubuntu is considered a mispelled word in xchat | 22:38 |
| diamonds | sorry for the newb question but what's cut and paste? | 22:38 |
| coraxx | Bananasdoom: tar -xvf (don't use the Z...its only for tar.gz files) | 22:38 |
| AcidRain | diamonds, wow | 22:39 |
| AcidRain | lol | 22:39 |
| diamonds | AcidRain: well... | 22:39 |

| diamonds | and 00:16 for ^v | 22:41 |
| AcidRain | what about ^c? | 22:42 |
| AcidRain | may have to do something witht he keyboard layout. honestly have no clue | 22:42 |
| AcidRain | just a slight possibility | 22:42 |
| diamonds | 00:03 | 22:42 |
| AcidRain | that is odd | 22:43 |
| diamonds | ^a works fine | 22:43 |

| szal | andre_cgn: does that have anything to do w/ supporting *buntu? | 23:00 |
| Omen_20 | Why doesnt GConf show up in Unity? I'm beginning to hate that thing. | 23:00 |
| andre_cgn | yes i think | 23:00 |
| escott | bananasdoom1, there is a ppa at sevenmachine for flash 64 as well as flash in the archives. i would suggest using one of those | 23:00 |
| mcurran | because gconf is for gnome | 23:00 |
| italoxp | Omen_20, beginning? | 23:01 |
| italoxp | mcurran, Unity IS gnome | 23:01 |
| italoxp | mcurran, just a different shell | 23:01 |
| bananasdoom1 | I need an old version because i have a ppc | 23:01 |
| wols | italoxp: no it's not | 23:01 |
| italoxp | But the same apps | 23:01 |
| Omen_20 | It says it is installed so why cant I find it in the app list | 23:01 |
| italoxp | wols, remove gnome-panel and put compiz + unity plugin. That's it | 23:01 |
| bananasdoom1 | and the newest ppa dose not have a power pc support | 23:01 |
| Omen_20 | i just had to open it in the terminal. Unity fails as an interface. | 23:02 |
| italoxp | Omen_20, just run gconf-editor in Alt+F2 | 23:02 |
| bananasdoom1 | so what do i do now | 23:02 |
| wols | bananasdoom1: you install debian where you get full ppc support | 23:03 |
| bananasdoom1 | but I need flash | 23:03 |
| wols | bananasdoom1: using ppc on ubuntu is not ideal | 23:03 |
| escott | bananasdoom1, not entirely certain. make sure flash is uninstalled you dont want any confusion. and then add the flashplugin to your ~/.mozilla/plugins folder? | 23:03 |
| bananasdoom1 | i have full flash support in ubuntu ' | 23:03 |
| unfuquitable | can someone please help with grub. i have like 5 things but only one system | 23:03 |
| Omen_20 | one system? | 23:03 |
| goddard | my BitTorrent keeps crashing my internet connection | 23:04 |
| wols | bananasdoom1: what special flash support thing is this which only ubuntu can provide? | 23:04 |
| escott | unfuquitable, what happened? | 23:04 |
| unfuquitable | yeah, i'm not dualbootin. but i still have this grub selection | 23:04 |
| bananasdoom1 | unfuquitable that is because of the kernel updates | 23:04 |
| tester_ | hi guys, | 23:04 |
| escott | goddard, could be your routers nat connection tracking failing | 23:04 |
| unfuquitable | i had a crashed system, installed fresh over it, but it seems like it's still available | 23:05 |
| bananasdoom1 | you get a new option evrey time you update so you can boot in an older kernel if there are issues with the new one | 23:05 |
| tester_ | I need some help installing an IDS {sguil} . can anyone help or have experience installing it on a 10.04 system? | 23:05 |
| bananasdoom1 | maybe you forrgot to wipe the mbr | 23:05 |
| goddard | escott: ill give that a test if it happens a again | 23:06 |
| italoxp | One system or one hard drive? | 23:06 |
| italoxp | Or 5 different entries? | 23:06 |
| italoxp | If it's 5 different entries, these are the different kernels you have installed. You may remove the ones you do not use. But it'd be good to keep the last one before the actual, just in case. | 23:06 |
| FloodBot1 | italoxp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:06 |

| unfuquitable | i can't get gnome 3 for the world..tried everything...that's why my previous OS messed up | 23:08 |
| escott | unfuquitable, dpkg -l "*linux*" will list kernels those with "ii" are installed you can remove them with dpkg -r but include the full version string | 23:08 |
| bananasdoom1 | goddard: ooooo | 23:08 |
| Ramses_ | I know a lot of tricks but none fixed the HD for XP | 23:08 |

| bananasdoom1 | goddard: you might want to add some more fans | 23:11 |
| goddard | bananasdoom1: haha its a laptop | 23:12 |
| bananasdoom1 | ooooo | 23:12 |
| bananasdoom1 | goddard: lol | 23:12 |
| goddard | bananasdoom1: this laptop is known for awesome cooling | 23:12 |
| YankDownUnder | Liquid Nitrogen GPU cooling! ;) | 23:12 |
| bananasdoom1 | YankDownUnder: Liquid Nitrogen GPU cooling! ;) +1 | 23:12 |
| Polah | How can I use wget to get the contents of a directory and it's subdirectories but not ones above it? I have the url <url>/fastdl/ttt/models and I want the contents of the models directory and its' subdirectories. However, when I try wget tries to download the contents of everything under <url> | 23:12 |
| Ramses_ | nitrogen would be nice | 23:12 |
| goddard | http://rog.asus.com/Product.aspx?PId=39 | 23:13 |
| escott | unfuquitable, so dpkg -l shows me ii linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic and i dont need that so I dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.38-7-generic. i probably want to do the same for the matching linux-headers | 23:13 |
| YankDownUnder | Polah, Um...have you read the man pages for wget? | 23:13 |
| darky | hello | 23:13 |
| darky | its me zeroth | 23:13 |
| bananasdoom1 | darky: hello | 23:13 |
| Ramses_ | remembers me the first ttls that could work below -50 cº | 23:14 |
| escott | Polah, wget has a flag to do that have you checked the man pages | 23:15 |
| bananasdoom1 | jez Britain is insane | 23:16 |
| YankDownUnder | bananasdoom1, Um...yeah...that's why I live in Australia. | 23:16 |
| Polah | YankDownUnder, escott: Yes, I've attempted using -I or -X to include/exclude directories to be including, i.e. to only include /ttt/ or exlude the other but they're still grabbed. | 23:16 |
| bananasdoom1 | YankDownUnder: same | 23:17 |
| YankDownUnder | Polah, Um...I supposed that deleting what you don't want is not an issue, eh? | 23:17 |
| bananasdoom1 | YankDownUnder: Gold coast u? | 23:17 |
| YankDownUnder | bananasdoom1, Nah mate, FIRST state...not the yobbo state. | 23:17 |
| szal | !ot | bananasdoom1, YankDownUnder | 23:17 |
| ubottu | bananasdoom1, YankDownUnder: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 23:17 |
| szal | just saying ^^ | 23:17 |
| italoxp | Guys, I don't understand too much about apt: how can I remove one app and it's dependencies? Like, Banshee and tomboy use Mono. i'm going to remove them. Do I have to remove mono manually later? | 23:17 |
| unfuquitable | so gnome 3 works in fedora? | 23:17 |
| italoxp | I'd also like to know if removing Evolution, Empathy and Gwibber would break Me Menu. | 23:18 |
| YankDownUnder | szal, Thank you for pointing out THAT WHICH I ALREADY KNOW, thank you so very much. | 23:18 |
| bananasdoom1 | ubottu: sorry | 23:18 |
| ubottu | It's ok, I am only a bot so I cannot stay mad at you. For apologising to humans though, take a read of http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2009/07/20/on-apologies/ | 23:18 |
| YankDownUnder | unfuquitable, It's built on Gnome3 | 23:18 |
| italoxp | unfuquitable, Fedora uses GNOME 3 by default | 23:18 |
| italoxp | unfuquitable, and I can say that it works pretty well | 23:18 |
| unfuquitable | well see y'all there | 23:18 |
| escott | Polah, i think you want -np no parent | 23:18 |
| Polah | escott: I'll try that, thanks | 23:18 |
| szal | YankDownUnder: no need to react like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar ;) | 23:19 |
| CoJaBo | Why would I be getting a "permission denied" error on a local mounted NTFS disk, as root? | 23:19 |
| italoxp | Anybody? | 23:19 |
| bananasdoom1 | lol i said sorry to a bot :P | 23:19 |
| CoJaBo | Is there a way to show more info? | 23:19 |
| CoJaBo | bananasdoom1: hey, bot s have feelings too! :P | 23:19 |
| KM0201 | CoJaBo: why on earth are yo uon a NTFS partition w/ root? | 23:19 |
| KM0201 | CoJaBo: sudo chmod 0777 /path/to/folder | 23:20 |
| bananasdoom1 | unfuquitable: it works best out of all the distros on fredora | 23:20 |
| italoxp | Oh, wait. GNOME-Do uses Mono? | 23:20 |
| CoJaBo | KM0201: it is 0777. I tried sudo too, neither works. | 23:20 |
| KM0201 | CoJaBo: what path did you use? | 23:21 |
| CapNemo | Hello | 23:21 |
| CoJaBo | KM0201: /mnt/disk/. all files are readable, with the exception of a few files in one directory. | 23:22 |
| Pokit | When I try to boot into 11.04 on my laptop, I get stuck at "checking battery state". So I tried running apt-get update and upgrade, but I apparently network service aren't running... Any ideas? | 23:22 |
| KM0201 | CoJaBo: so... sudo chmod0777 /path/to/files | 23:22 |
| escott | italoxp, there is a purge option which will remove all the things that were not explicitly added to your software (after resolving dependencies) but it should be used cautiously | 23:22 |
| KM0201 | CoJaBo: maybe that should be /path/to/filename would make more sense.. | 23:23 |
| italoxp | Is there any alternative to GNOME-Do? | 23:23 |
| szal | KM0201: NTFS doesn't know Unix permissions, so permissions have to be set for the whole disk at mount time | 23:24 |
| CoJaBo | KM0201: All files are mode 0777 already. Changing the mode doesnt work, cuz thats not supported on NTFS. It shouldn't matter anyway, because not even root can read them. Is there any way I can display more info? | 23:24 |
| KM0201 | i dunno.. | 23:24 |
| Pokit | italoxp: Kupfer? | 23:24 |
| KM0201 | i've always just chmodd'd stuff on an ntfs partition, and it worked fine | 23:24 |
| celltech | Just upgraded to 11.04. Can I safely remove bluetooth? | 23:24 |
| CoJaBo | i.e. determine if this is some odd linux ntfs driver bug or a currupt filesystem. | 23:24 |
| escott | italoxp, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/cleaning-up-all-unnecessary-junk-files-in-ubuntu.html | 23:25 |
| szal | CoJaBo: tried fsck.ntfs? | 23:25 |
| szal | CoJaBo: or chkdsk in Windows? | 23:25 |
| CoJaBo | I don't have a working Windows box :/ | 23:25 |
| Ramses_ | my knowledge of Linux is almost none, and it is a shame | 23:27 |
| CoJaBo | szal: Is there a fsck for ntfs? | 23:27 |
| szal | CoJaBo: see above | 23:27 |
| escott | CoJaBo, thats a no-no with ntfs and linux. always have a windows box to chkdsk your ntfs, and if you dont ...don't use ntfs | 23:27 |
| Ramses_ | someday I will install Cygwin on my machine | 23:27 |
| * xk001 <3 to all | 23:27 | |
| CoJaBo | escott: It'd be nice if I could at least check it on Linux (thus determining thats really the problem), but it doesn't look like such a tool even exists.. | 23:28 |
| Polah | wget -np <directory> just returned index.html every time and when I used the -r option as well it grabbed everything below the root for the url | 23:29 |
| CoJaBo | The disk has to work with the windows box, hence the ntfs.. Problem is, the windows box is broken, but I still need to free up space, gah. | 23:29 |
| ndujoe1 | a lot of users in this forum, I am on ubuntu 10.04 at the moment. | 23:30 |
| edbian | gac: Did I help you earlier? | 23:30 |
| gac | nope, never spoken to you before :) | 23:30 |
| celltech | Uninstalling Bluetooth | 23:30 |
| CapNemo | Damn! how can I make a usbkey from macosx to install ubuntu on a netbook ??! | 23:30 |
| italoxp | CapNemo, Unetbootin | 23:31 |
| szal | ndujoe1: (1) this is not a forum, it's a chat; (2) do you have a support issue? | 23:31 |
| escott | Polah, hmmm i guess those two conflict. maybe you could get wget to spit out the list of files it would retrieve and then pipe them through grep? | 23:31 |
| celltech | unetbootin rocks! I love that program | 23:31 |
| ndujoe1 | sorry, I use the wrong term your are right a chat. | 23:31 |
| italoxp | I personally prefer dd | 23:31 |
| edbian | CapNemo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From%20Mac%20OSX | 23:31 |
| CapNemo | italoxp: ah yes I see what you mean | 23:31 |
| CapNemo | thxs | 23:31 |
| Ramses_ | it is easy to create a bootable ubuntu USB drive? | 23:31 |
| escott | CoJaBo, its completely reverse-engineered, they don't have a true spec for the fs. you dont want to end up like the guy yesterday who couldn't mount and needed the data immediately | 23:32 |
| escott | Ramses_, yes. there is a usb-creator app in apt | 23:32 |
| celltech | May I safely uninstall gwibber? | 23:32 |
| CapNemo | It seems that Unetbootin is my last hope :-/ | 23:32 |
| CoJaBo | escott: lol, what happened yesterday? | 23:33 |
| Ramses_ | a easy to find ISO image for a bootable ubuntu then | 23:33 |
| escott | CoJaBo, somebody had 6 months of code on an external ntfs drive that was corrupted and no windows box to fix it | 23:33 |
| Soci3ty | hey | 23:33 |
| Blade20 | when using a grep | cut -c 20-22 command it will display everything form all lines in columns ... how can i get rid of the extra letters in the lines above what i am looking for | 23:33 |
| Soci3ty | so i made a linux live cd with remastersys | 23:33 |
| Soci3ty | im trying to recover data on this comouter with it | 23:33 |
| Soci3ty | there no keyboard/mouse/or usb | 23:34 |
| italoxp | celltech, why would you do that? | 23:34 |
| Ramses_ | I need to google for a ubuntu ISO download? | 23:34 |
| Soci3ty | but it cant find the hdds | 23:34 |
| italoxp | celltech, just don't use it ;) | 23:34 |
| Soci3ty | it almost totally untouched ubuntu server | 23:34 |
| Soci3ty | 10.04 | 23:34 |
| Pokit | When booting, my laptop is freezing up at "Checking battery state". I tried an apt update/upgrade, but no network services are running, so I'm unable to do anything with apt... Any ideas? | 23:34 |
| italoxp | Ramses_, use a normal iso | 23:34 |
| celltech | Cause I want to get rid of crap I don't use and have only things I do | 23:34 |
| newb_ | Hello! I can't print with Cups in my Ubuntu Natty from my network. | 23:34 |
| Ramses_ | I cannot install ubuntu in my machine , but I can use a live CD | 23:35 |
| italoxp | Ramses_, and use Unetbootin if you are on Windows/Mac/Linux that's not Ubuntu | 23:35 |
| aglio2 | hey, I added a PPA to sources.list.d directory, and ran apt-get update | 23:35 |
| aglio2 | but the packages from that repo are still not visible on apt-cache search | 23:36 |
| CoJaBo | escott: Ah, I wonder if the files might be NTFS encrypted.. No idea why they would be, but if so probably stuck there till I get the windows box fixed :/ | 23:36 |
| newb_ | I have a print server and my netbook. I want print with my netbook at server. My netbook cups instalation detects the shared printer, but when trying print I receive a message like "Can't connect to printer, trying again in 30 seconds" | 23:36 |
| aglio2 | how do I actually enable installing from the PPA? | 23:36 |
| celltech | I am deleting libreoffice and installing openoffice though | 23:37 |
| CoJaBo | What is the difference between libre and openoffice? | 23:37 |
| CoJaBo | Did they discontinue OOo, ir is it still going? | 23:37 |
| escott | CoJaBo, oracle owns openoffice most development has moved to libre | 23:38 |
| celltech | Now. I don't want to run a Virtual Machine for xp so I can have iTunes. So is there anyway to make something work on here? | 23:38 |
| CapNemo | cool, Unetbootin is truly the way to go :) | 23:39 |
| CapNemo | always forget about that one | 23:39 |
| N00bly | Hey, anyone in the mood to field a really dumb question, but one I'm sure has a very siple answer? | 23:39 |
| N00bly | *simple | 23:39 |
| OmegaForte | N00bly, I'm good at simple. | 23:39 |
| jrib | N00bly: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 23:39 |
| N00bly | Very well. Trying to install Wine, going well, suddenly a wild Microsoft EULA appears, but in ASCII form! How do I say "OK" and continue in shell? | 23:40 |
| === vicky is now known as Guest86575 | ||
| CoJaBo | N00bly: Resize the terminal if its the same one I got stuck at | 23:42 |
| N00bly | Just shows a blank space now, and the EULA agreement in its own little box. It has an "<Ok>", but it's a shell so I can't click that...tried hitting Enter, highlighting it first, etc | 23:43 |
| italoxp | N00bly, tab, enter ._. | 23:44 |
| CoJaBo | N00bly: Space maybe? You select it with arrow keys iirc. | 23:44 |
| italoxp | Talking about Wine, can I make a symlink from a ntfs partition to .wine/C: ? | 23:44 |
| N00bly | Tab + Enter! Miracles! Thanks. | 23:44 |
| szal | N00bly: how are you installing Wine please? | 23:44 |
| N00bly | Just used apt-get, installing 1.2....just didn't realize I needed to hit Tab. | 23:45 |
| CoJaBo | Problem I had was it came up just offscreen cuz the terminal window was like 3 lines too short. Took me FOREVER to figure that out -_-' | 23:45 |
| N00bly | Me and terminals have always been sort of a love/hate thing... | 23:46 |
| HelloWorld321 | If I have installed all the GlassFish packages via Ubuntu Software Center, and it says that they're installed, how can I poke, test, verify that I have GlassFish server running? I tried http://localhost:4848, but got nothing. | 23:46 |
| CoJaBo | Me and compilers have always been sort of a love/hate thing... :P | 23:46 |
| kernelfreak_ | j #ubuntuserver | 23:46 |
| italoxp | N00bly, you're on Linux, if you hate terminals, you hate linux | 23:47 |
| italoxp | Just it | 23:47 |
| CapNemo | HelloWorld321: perhaps you should try to see if there is any java process running 'ps aux | grep java' and look at the ports 'netstat -an | grep 48484' | 23:47 |
| CapNemo | -4 | 23:47 |
| kernelfreak_ | Doest anybody had troubles with ubuntu sever on a 2Tb harddrive ? | 23:47 |
| italoxp | HelloWorld321, Server stuff? Type /join #ubuntuserver | 23:47 |
| italoxp | kernelfreak_, why would we have? | 23:48 |
| CoJaBo | Terminals: Cant live with em, cant live without em :P | 23:48 |
| KaZumaKat | amen | 23:48 |
| * KaZumaKat is a converted Windows-to-Linux user | 23:48 | |
| KaZumaKat | also hello :) | 23:48 |
| kernelfreak_ | italoxp: I'm trying it.. and while configuring Grub its does an error with GPT partition related | 23:48 |
| N00bly | Exactly. Hence "love/hate"...also, Ubuntu has a pretty nice GUI too, throwing that out there. | 23:48 |
| kernelfreak_ | italoxp: any idea ? | 23:48 |
| CoJaBo | kernelfreak_: Whats the issue? Some BIOSs suposedly have issues above 1.5TB | 23:49 |
| * KaZumaKat looks at the signs | 23:49 | |
| KaZumaKat | right, there a help channel for ubuntu? | 23:49 |
| N00bly | This is it, basically...the 'support' channel. | 23:49 |
| daserfost | Kazumakat...welcome mr. Convert. Hope u dont dual boot | 23:49 |
| KaZumaKat | still have to :/ work related. | 23:49 |
| kernelfreak_ | CoJaBo: well I can see at frisk that it recognizes 2Tb disk.. the issue is with GPT table | 23:49 |
| KaZumaKat | Wine wont play well with work apps. | 23:49 |
| === pestilent_ is now known as pestilent | ||
| KaZumaKat | so okay, I've got an issue even in LiveCD form for Ubuntu (transferring from Arch, too little in the way of GUI and my fingers cant type as much as they used to) | 23:50 |
| KaZumaKat | basically, HDMI audio no worky. | 23:50 |
| KaZumaKat | seems to be a upcoming issue with 11.04 | 23:51 |
| KaZumaKat | up-and-coming. | 23:51 |
| CoJaBo | kernelfreak_: I've seen issues where it would recognize the disk, but not read above 1.5TB- probably fixed for quite some time tho, how old is the mobo? | 23:51 |
| kernelfreak_ | its a CoJaBo dell poweredge t100 | 23:52 |
| kernelfreak_ | CoJaBo: don't think its old enough | 23:52 |
| kernelfreak_ | CoJaBo: I founded it http://room118solutions.com/2011/02/08/ubuntu-10-10-server-grub-gpt-partitions/ | 23:54 |
| sw0rdfish | errrr! my Maverick is shutting down by itself a lot recently.......I thought it was cuz of the overheating (laptop).....but now I'm thinking could it be a virus? | 23:55 |
| KaZumaKat | anyone want to help me troubleshoot the no-HDMI-audio-from-Nvidia-vidcard issue I have? :/ | 23:56 |
| CoJaBo | KaZumaKat: I've seen the HDMI audio issue fixed by changing the audio backend (either to or from Phonon, iirc). I'm not sure where that setting is tho. | 23:56 |
| KaZumaKat | so its a backend issue? | 23:57 |
| escott | kernelfreak_, rodsbooks.com has an excellent section on gpt | 23:57 |
| escott | KaZumaKat, pulseaudio will only send sound through one card at a time. go into pulse (the volume control) and change the output to the hdmi associated sound card | 23:59 |
| KaZumaKat | done that, still no HDMI audio. | 23:59 |
