| KaZumaKat | well, thats where it goes funky | 00:01 |
| KaZumaKat | according to alsamixer, its not muted, but at the same time, it has no volume sliders. | 00:01 |
| KaZumaKat | soo... | 00:01 |
| 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?......plz someone help | 00:01 |

| funkeyy | Hi all! i accidentally installed Adobe Acrobat Reader from a packet i downloaded on the adobe-Homepage.. now i want to deinstall it, since document viewer suits my needs more than AR does.. how can i deinstall it? i couldnt find it in synaptic PM...? | 00:03 |
| szal | funkeyy: of course not if you installed it from something that is not a .deb | 00:04 |
| KaZumaKat | anyway, alsamixer says HDMI audio out not muted, but has no volume sliders. What to do? | 00:04 |
| funkeyy | okay so how can i deinstall it then? | 00:04 |

| seanmc98 | is there a software/application that will covert your speech to text on 11.04? | 00:05 |
| escott | funkeyy, remove it with rm | 00:05 |
| th0r | funkeyy: you take apart the install package, figure out piece by piece where and what was put onto your system, and remove them, piece by piece | 00:06 |
| funkeyy | escott, i dont know the packet-name | 00:06 |
| Datz | Hi, I'm wondering if there is a config for logrotate which dictates actions for individual logs | 00:06 |
| escott | funkeyy, if adobe did things correctly it should all be in /opt | 00:07 |
| szal | funkeyy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=543045 <- old but may still apply.. and if you did install from a .deb, the official pkg is called "AdbeRdr" or something | 00:07 |

| urlin2u | szal, yep, we are assuming that the user has a clue. | 00:08 |
| funkeyy | szal, i cant view that page | 00:09 |
| szal | urlin2u: obviously he hasn't, otherwise he hadn't installed Adobe Reader directly from Adobe in the first place ;) | 00:09 |
| szal | funkeyy: then create a forum account | 00:09 |
| urlin2u | tommyfun, you don't want to do that. | 00:09 |
| escott | tommyfun, you cant actually do so as packages conflict | 00:09 |
| tommyfun | ok | 00:09 |

| WarOp | jjgalvez change it to auto | 00:25 |
| escott | Datz, yes there is | 00:26 |
| WarOp | then do chmod ug+rwx /media/"Directory" | 00:26 |

| escott | !root | fizy[laptop] | 00:27 |
| ubottu | fizy[laptop]: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:27 |
| Datz | escott: ok. I'll have to check in logrotate.d | 00:27 |
| Datz | logrotate.conf doesn't have that info | 00:28 |
| WarOp | jjgalvez do (chmod 777 /media/Pucker2) | 00:28 |
| WarOp | within terminal | 00:28 |
| vale_maio | can't anyone help me? :( | 00:28 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: i know that. in recovery mode, there is only one shell. the root shell. i cant log into any other user | 00:28 |
| EgyParadox | Guest56414: runHELI-X.sh not runHELI-X64.sh | 00:28 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], a init=/bin/bash shouldn't be asking you for a password. but since it is you can use a livecd and try to fix things there | 00:28 |
| WarOp | whats your problem val_maio | 00:29 |
| mjbraun | I'm a wee bit confuzzled. I'm trying to understand all the services running in my stock 10.0.4 LTS config. One of the services is "console-setup" (service --status-all shows it as "?") but why is the config tool running as a service? | 00:29 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: im not sure how to do that. all im doing is selecting the root shell from the recovery prompt | 00:29 |
| Arengorn | how do i instal an iso image | 00:30 |
| escott | Datz, its the section that starts with the /var/log/filename and then says rotate # monthly/weekly/daily missingok etc | 00:30 |
| jjgalvez__ | WarOp: Thanks I will give that a try | 00:30 |
| WarOp | Like a program | 00:30 |
| Datz | escott: perfect, I should have checked logrotate.d | 00:30 |
| icekk_ | yo, I installed CVS on my ubuntu... when i go to connect to it it fails saying no such system user.... | 00:30 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, what is the image? | 00:30 |
| vale_maio | WarOp: I have an inkjet HP 3050, I've installed HPlip, needed to make it working on ubuntu, and that program won't recognize the printer if I choose to connect it via wi-fi | 00:30 |
| jjgalvez__ | WarOp: need to reboot to see if that helps be right back | 00:30 |
| WarOp | jjgalvez try this to make it go to all sub folders (chmod -R 777 /media/Puker2) | 00:30 |
| tiox | If I set z-shell as default shell over bash, will it affect how Ubuntu starts the next time I reboot my PC? | 00:31 |

| p3rror | any software to watch TV | 00:31 |
| Datz | escott: I did not see a bi-weekly setting, do you know if there is one? | 00:31 |
| escott | Datz, check man logrotate | 00:31 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, I don't think that is installable it runs in ram, burn it to a cd to use it or load a thmb | 00:31 |
| urlin2u | *thumb | 00:32 |
| fosburg | any help trouble shooting 'unity'? | 00:32 |
| norc | This is totally horrid. Why cant I specify an image in /etc/default/grub - why do I have to specify a magic number that can change depending on what kernels I install/deinstall? | 00:32 |
| WarOp | vale_maio so if you connect it directly into the computer can you print to it all | 00:32 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], what do you mean selecting the root shell? are you trying to login as root in recovery mode? | 00:32 |
| escott | norc, what do you want to accomplish? you want to boot a specific version of linux? | 00:32 |
| vale_maio | WarOp: via USB it works very well | 00:33 |
| vale_maio | and HPlip reognize it as well | 00:33 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, from the pm page. Parted Magic - LiveCD/USB with it's only purpose being partitioning hard drives. | 00:33 |
| Arengorn | what i do with an iso program file? | 00:33 |
| intrader | Oops, further problem - on second laptop I find that the 'Software index is broken' - Upon finishi it | 00:33 |
| Arengorn | with a buch of folders inside | 00:33 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, burn it to a cd. | 00:33 |
| WarOp | arengorn mount the iso image | 00:33 |
| vale_maio | only if I choose to connect it via USB, when HPlip asks to me | 00:34 |
| Arengorn | how | 00:34 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: yet. that is the only shell option in recovery mode | 00:34 |
| WarOp | then access folders or burn it to cd as image then access it | 00:34 |
| WarOp | gmoutiso | 00:34 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: yes* | 00:34 |
| escott | Arengorn, burn it/loop mount it | 00:34 |
| WarOp | is a mounting program | 00:34 |
| norc | escott: I have a specific kernel I want to load on a server. I have a variety of kernels installed already, and the way I see it, to set a new default I'd have to COUNT the line in which the kernel I want would appear in grub, and insert that in /etc/default/grub, run update-grub, verify that its truly the right one | 00:34 |
| urlin2u | WarOp, why would yu want to mount it? | 00:34 |
| WarOp | to save burning it to a dvd or cd | 00:34 |
| norc | escott: it's just unusable. I want to specify an initrd, a kernel image as the default bootimage. Not a magic number that is dependent on the entries in /etc/grub.d/ | 00:34 |
| WarOp | unless its already on a cd or dvd to access the folders withing | 00:34 |
| urlin2u | WarOp, that makes no sense, but okay. | 00:35 |
| Arengorn | i mount it but thers jut a buch of folders inside it | 00:35 |
| fosburg | cant get 'unity' to my desktop--any suggestions? | 00:35 |
| WarOp | so say you have a iso image on HD, mount the image with virtual drive then acess folders inside | 00:35 |
| escott | norc, the idea is that you change the filenames in /etc/grub.d and always pick #1 because that is your most recent version of whatever you want (windows or linux etc) | 00:36 |
| intrader | Oops, further problem - on second laptop I find that the 'Software index is broken' - While finishing it is reinstalling grub.cfg Is there a problem with Synaptic that causes this? | 00:36 |
| Datz | I meant to say I didn't see one in man logrotate, but I'll check again | 00:36 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, what do you want to do with partmagic? | 00:36 |
| norc | escott: What is #1 then? The lowest number? | 00:36 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], boot the livecd and chroot in. im puzzled that you cant get in with single boot | 00:37 |
| norc | escott: I have a feeling that I shouldn't change the files that apt has put there. | 00:37 |
| norc | escott: apart from 40_custom | 00:37 |
| Arengorn | i have an hd configured to mac i want to use it with windows and i dont know how i thought partition should be the anwser | 00:37 |
| escott | norc, first entry, but grub-mkconfig iterates through the scripts in /etc/grub.d in filename order | 00:37 |
| escott | norc, so you could add your own custom as 06 and it would be the first menu entry | 00:38 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, then you want to burn the ISO to a cd, or load a thumb with like unetbootin, so you can boot partmagic and use it. | 00:38 |
| norc | escott: Since 06_foo is already the default kernel, I'm assuming I should simply copy 10_blah (which is the one I want) to 05_bar ? | 00:38 |
| chrissbx | I'm still not able to boot mythbuntu. wols: setting these in mythbuntu and hitting return will bring up a blinking underline cursor in the top left corner and a second later the reboot. In XBMC, the kernel comes up with a single message: "Kernel panic - not synching: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)"; | 00:38 |
| Arengorn | ya | 00:38 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: by single boot do you mean normal boot? i can for the time being. but my laptop has serious display issues, and in the event that i screw it up, i want to be able to login and undo it. being root doesnt matter. its just the only option i have | 00:38 |
| norc | escott: naturally that would fail as soon as apt installs a kernel with a lower number. | 00:38 |
| chrissbx | wols: I've now also tried USB booting from a flash stick, same problem, "Unable to mount root fs fon unknown-block(104,1)" | 00:39 |
| escott | norc, 05 is the theme for me, but yes thats the basic idea | 00:39 |
| norc | escott: Yeah so since 05 is the theme already, should I rename this as well? (are you beginning to see how horrid this is?) | 00:39 |
| chrissbx | I guess I should try normal ubuntu now. | 00:39 |
| escott | norc, my numbers are different from yours i go 00,05,10 etc | 00:39 |
| cntb | playing with gadgets anyone knows / used radar map on weather.com | 00:39 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, a regular ubuntu live cd has gparted on it same as partmagic. | 00:39 |
| cntb | ? | 00:40 |
| norc | escott: I have a feeling that if I touch any of that, apt will revert those settings in a while. | 00:40 |
| === mat__ is now known as Guest40259 | ||
| norc | escott: And that would be rather unpleasant - to say the least. | 00:40 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], no i mean single mode boot (its part of the boot options to the recovery boot) | 00:40 |
| Arengorn | but i cant change anything at this hd | 00:40 |
| escott | norc, apt should ask before overwritting, but you can install something like etckeeper | 00:40 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, you have to boot a partitoner like the two mentioned here to change the partitions on the hd. | 00:41 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], you should look into how to use a livecd to get a chroot control | 00:41 |
| Arengorn | i know but there is no options like 'format ' at this HD | 00:41 |
| Guest40259 | I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm getting weird password bugs, my user passwords is hardly recognized (i.e. I need to do the same sudo command over and over until it works)... Anyway idea someone? | 00:41 |
| norc | escott: I guess that might work. | 00:42 |
| Guest40259 | Also, I have lot of error in the log files | 00:42 |
| TheHypnotist_ | Guest15721, fat fingers? | 00:42 |
| norc | escott: Time to reboot and *pray* nothing breaks. :) | 00:42 |
| jrib | TheHypnotist_: that would be my guess as well | 00:42 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, your leaving out a bit of information, such as where and where and what your doing and with what. | 00:42 |
| fosburg | can i get some help with setting up 'unity' as my desktop? | 00:42 |
| fizy[laptop] | escott: i just think its weird that noone at ubuntu central has tested out recovery mode. its asking me for a nonexistant password | 00:42 |
| cntb | will chk later see if anyone takes my q | 00:42 |
| jrib | fizy[laptop]: it only asks you for a password if you've set a password for root | 00:42 |
| escott | fizy[laptop], something else must be wrong, recovery mode should drop you directly into a shell without getty | 00:43 |
| Arengorn | Im trying to format an external HD taht is using the apple HFS achiving sistem i want to put it no NTFS but i cant cuse GParted doesnt lemme format it | 00:44 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, can gparted even see the external, and thanks for clarifying that. ;) | 00:45 |
| Guest40259 | I get this error (in auth.log) for 20 attemps out of 30: pam_unix(sudo:auth): auth could not identify password for [username] | 00:45 |
| Arengorn | yes it can see it | 00:45 |
| Arengorn | its named as /dev/sdc | 00:45 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, so when you right click the partition on the external you have no delete option. | 00:45 |
| escott | Arengorn, if you have partitioned it then just manually call sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdc1 | 00:46 |
| jjgalvez__ | WarOp: Thanks for the help that fixed it | 00:46 |

| Guest40259 | escott: my password is so easy that i can't mistype it | 00:49 |
| escott | Guest40259, but in your logs is it conversation error that is causing the could not identify. a conversation error would be like a ctrl-c hitting the process that is asking for the password | 00:50 |
| Guest40259 | escott: I don't see any | 00:50 |
| Guest40259 | escott: In which log files I could see conversation error? | 00:51 |
| ProstheticS | Also, im running alot of other network facing services from this host, but not port forwarding these, thats not a concerin is it? | 00:51 |
| escott | Guest40259, same one you see the could not identify | 00:51 |
| Arengorn | i cant execute KDE partition manager it asks for a password and when i put it it says:Cannot execute command ' '/usr/bin/partitionmanager-bin --dontsu'' | 00:51 |
| Arengorn | what i do | 00:51 |
| Guest40259 | escott: pam_unix(sudo:auth): conversation failed | 00:51 |
| Guest40259 | escott: I have conversation errorfinally | 00:51 |
| escott | Guest40259, i guess the real question is: is there something before the could not identify (that would be the real cause of the problem) | 00:52 |
| Arengorn | i cant execute KDE partition manager it asks for a password and when i put it it says:Cannot execute command ' '/usr/bin/partitionmanager-bin --dontsu'' | 00:53 |
| Arengorn | plz help | 00:53 |
| Guest40259 | escott: I don't know how to fix that :( | 00:53 |
| Guest40259 | sometime there's no conversation error, juste auth error | 00:54 |
| norc | escott: Well. Server is not coming back up. Funny, I double checked everything in the generated files and it should have worked. :)) | 00:54 |
| escott | norc, well do you know how to use a livecd/chroot to fix things | 00:55 |
| escott | Guest40259, could it be timeout related | 00:55 |
| Arengorn | How do i run stuff as root? | 00:55 |
| Odd-rationale | !sudo | Arengorn | 00:55 |
| ubottu | Arengorn: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 00:55 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, sudo is your best route. | 00:56 |
| norc | escott: Nope. As I said it's a server located somewhere in France. :-) | 00:56 |
| escott | Arengorn, since this is an hfs+ disk it might have a gpt partition. what version of gparted were you using? | 00:56 |
| norc | escott: I knew I should have used kexec. Heh. | 00:56 |
| escott | norc, thats no good | 00:56 |
| Arengorn | 0.7.0 | 00:57 |
| Guest40259 | escott: it's so random I can't see any pattern | 00:57 |
| Guest40259 | escott: could I replace some package of some configuration files in order to fix that ? | 00:57 |
| seanmc98 | is there a software/application that will covert your speech to text on 11.04? | 00:57 |
| Guest40259 | escott: ultimately, I'll reinstall the OS | 00:57 |
| norc | escott: Nah no big deal. All servers have serial consoles, plus if all fails I can have them set the server back up again. | 00:58 |
| Arengorn | 0.7.0 | 00:59 |
| escott | Arengorn, thats fairly old. it might be that gparted was writing an mbr partition on a gpt disk | 00:59 |
| === diagnosis_ is now known as diagnosis | ||
| Arengorn | what i do? | 00:59 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, take a screen shot of that HD in gparted, and image n=bin it. | 01:00 |
| shbk_ru | does anybody know library for c/c++ to catch pressing of keys like ctrl+shift+foo or fn+f7 etc. ? | 01:01 |
| escott | Arengorn, there is a command line tool "gdisk" which would be able to tell you if the disk has gpt and mbr partitions | 01:01 |
| Arengorn | sent | 01:02 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, post the image, I don't take images that way. http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add | 01:03 |
| escott | Arengorn, if you open the disk utility and look in the first column next to partitioning what does it say | 01:03 |
| Odd-rationale | seanmc98: as foar as I know, there is no (workable) one. Although dragon dictate is reported to work under wine. | 01:05 |

| RocketLauncher | k | 01:09 |
| coz_ | Arengorn, the unrecognized drives.... do you how they formatted? | 01:09 |
| krwagwithzach | hey can someone help me out? | 01:09 |

| krwagwithzach | ah thanks | 01:10 |
| fiber | Hi, I have an acer timelinex with "Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset HD Audio", and I can't seem to get my mic working! I can get audio output working fine and the external mic works, just not the internal. Does anyone have any recommendations? | 01:10 |
| edbian | !ask | krwagwithzach | 01:10 |
| ubottu | krwagwithzach: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:10 |
| krwagwithzach | ive got skype and its not recognizing my mic | 01:10 |
| Arengorn | i clicked creat a partition table and it sad error | 01:11 |
| krwagwithzach | but its recognizing my webcam which the mic is built into | 01:11 |
| coz_ | fiber, first thing i would check in open a terminal type alsamixer , see if any of the sliders are down or muted for headphones | 01:11 |
| edbian | krwagwithzach: Does the mic work with sound recorder? | 01:11 |
| Arengorn | then i had 298gb unalocated i tryed to created new/ntfs and then thats it | 01:11 |
| xXPhenomXx_ | Ive got the same issue with Skype on Ubuntu 11.04, the mic doesnt work | 01:11 |
| krwagwithzach | yes it works with audacity | 01:11 |
| norc | fiber: Have you checked whether the proper channel us unmuted in alsamixer for example? | 01:11 |
| coz_ | Arengorn, are thise physycally separate drives or are the partitions | 01:11 |
| urlin2u | edbian, I think there are overlapping partitions the fat was mounted now it isn't. | 01:11 |
| escott | fiber, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA | 01:11 |
| edbian | urlin2u: He should just reformat the whole thing | 01:12 |
| Arengorn | partitions | 01:12 |
| urlin2u | edbian, thats wjat I would do. ;) | 01:12 |
| fiber | coz_ norc: All the channels are on (especially the "internal microphone boost") | 01:12 |
| coz_ | Arengorn, in windows.. are they recognized? | 01:12 |
| fiber | escott: thanks for the link, I'll check it out | 01:12 |
| krwagwithzach | hey can the people who want to help me got to the chat room #! so its less crouded? | 01:12 |
| Arengorn | nope | 01:12 |
| Arengorn | but now i dont know | 01:13 |
| coz_ | fiber, mm ok,, not sure then,, I am not the best person for sound issues,, did you check also in the #pulseaudio and #alsa channels ? ..yes? | 01:13 |
| coz_ | RocketLauncher, yeah I am not finding anything that might give an easier way to adjust headphone volumes ,, maybe gnome-alsamixwer but that is also manually | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, can you right click the one unidetified partition and delete? | 01:14 |
| RocketLauncher | aw | 01:14 |
| coz_ | RocketLauncher, I am still looking,,, you could also google,,, ubuntu 11.04 headphone volume controls | 01:14 |
| Arengorn | hey guys something interesting the hdd still works on linux and all the files are there :) :( | 01:15 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, when mounted the fat shows, but I think you have overlapping partitions, pull off what you ned then unmount it and delete . | 01:16 |
| Arengorn | how? | 01:16 |
| urlin2u | Arengorn, how what? | 01:16 |
| Arengorn | oops dum question | 01:16 |
| Arengorn | wat 5 mins | 01:17 |
| Arengorn | wait | 01:17 |
| Arengorn | 4min | 01:17 |
| Arengorn | if it doesnt work ill use a heavy formatation | 01:18 |
| Coty91 | I recently received a new laptop (Acer Aspire 4730z) that has bluetooth capabilities. However, after installing 11.04 the bluetooth isn't recognized. I'm not too sure what to do about it though. Any help would be much appreciated! :) | 01:18 |
| dr_willis | Coty91, I would start by checking the forums for that exact make laptop. | 01:18 |
| Coty91 | Not seeing any forums related to it. | 01:20 |
| coz_ | RocketLauncher, yeah I am still not finding anythin,, I was hoping someone had made a new applet or something for headphone volume controls | 01:20 |
| RocketLauncher | 10.10 worked fine | 01:20 |
| RocketLauncher | i dont know if i did anything wrong here ot not when installing xfce | 01:20 |
| RocketLauncher | i'm using gnome now though, didnt really like xfce | 01:21 |
| Arengorn | nope | 01:21 |
| diamonds | so I'm trying to adjust the opacity on windows... | 01:22 |
| th0r | RocketLauncher: you shouldn't have dumped xfce so fast, I have a slider in the volume control for headphoens | 01:22 |
| rypervenche | I use Xfce :) It's nice. | 01:23 |
| diamonds | I have this utility compizconfig settings manager | 01:23 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, you can do it in compiz | 01:23 |
| diamonds | how? | 01:23 |
| coz_ | diamonds, open it,, on the left you will see a vertical list of categories | 01:23 |
| diamonds | I have the opacity option open and it appears to be linked to alt+ button 4 | 01:23 |
| diamonds | but what's button 4? | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | diamonds, mouse wheel | 01:24 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, figure it I would have to myself but I know that is where it's done. ;) | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | hold alt,. move wheel.... | 01:24 |
| diamonds | thanks! | 01:24 |
| diamonds | it wasn't working before... :/ | 01:24 |
| urlin2u | dr_willis, I forgot about that. | 01:24 |
| coz_ | alt+mouse 4 & 5 shold make a window transparent | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | a debateable usefull feature..... :) | 01:25 |
| coz_ | diamonds, if you need help spicifically for compiz you can me and a few other in the #compiz channel | 01:25 |
| diamonds | thanks | 01:25 |
| diamonds | one other thing... | 01:26 |
| diamonds | when I alt tab, the windows are in a fixed order | 01:26 |
| Arengorn | ITS WORKIN FORMATATION ON NTFS IS WORKING | 01:26 |
| Arengorn | ITS FORMATING :) :) | 01:26 |
| coz_ | diamonds, explain "fixed order" | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | Arengorn, good for you.. we dont need a play by play analisis... :) | 01:26 |
| diamonds | how do I make them "most recently used first" | 01:26 |
| diamonds | coz_: I mean if I opened compiz config last, it is always last. | 01:27 |
| diamonds | I'd prefer that if I alt+tab FROM compiz, then alt+tab once, I' | 01:27 |
| Arengorn | and we dont need ur arrogance | 01:27 |
| diamonds | m back to compiz | 01:27 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ok you are using either the application switcher or the static applications switcher plugins | 01:27 |
| dr_willis | diamonds, the plugins in ccsm that handle the alt-tab have numerous settings you can tweak, theres also differnt switchers you can use. | 01:27 |
| coz_ | diamonds, there are other options,, for example,,, the "Scale" plugin | 01:27 |
| diamonds | coz_: how can I figure which one? | 01:27 |
| coz_ | diamonds, well in ccsm as I mentioned,, on the left are the list of categories,, click on the " Window management" category | 01:28 |
| intrader | Anyone, I have a laptop where I was upgrading to 11.04 - I fount it with the Caps Lock light blinking, and the hardrive light on. Power down and try to reboot gets a Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block. | 01:28 |
| coz_ | diamonds, there you will find several switchers,, including scale, | 01:29 |
| urlin2u | intrader, was this a upgarde from another distro? | 01:29 |
| coz_ | oy | 01:29 |
| escott | intrader, sure sounds like the drive is toast. have you booted a live cd and run fsck | 01:29 |
| intrader | urlin2u, yes, from 10.10 | 01:29 |
| diamonds | sorry... | 01:29 |
| intrader | escott, I have 11.04 on a stick - what is next? | 01:30 |
| diamonds | I hit windows key, that opened the search thing but didn't focus on it so when I tried to close it I closed empathy :/ | 01:30 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ok in ccsm.. on the left column.. click the "Window mangement" category | 01:30 |
| diamonds | ok looking at cconfig > windows now | 01:30 |
| urlin2u | intrader, escott makes a good suggestion, beyond that I would see if the HD mounts from a live cd and pull out what you need and do a fresh install. | 01:30 |
| coz_ | diamonds, enable the "Scale" plugin | 01:30 |
| escott | intrader, boot it. fsck your disks, check the smart status, verify the basic hardware is functioning. then start looking at the boot process | 01:30 |
| diamonds | coz_: ok, it was on already | 01:31 |
| coz_ | diamonds, the default bindings are 2,,one is upper right corner of the screen , meaning push the cursor there and if you have more than one window open you will see the effect of it | 01:31 |
| diamonds | looking at the settings... | 01:31 |
| escott | intrader, if the hardware is good and it just hung in the midst of the upgrade you could either reinstall or chroot in and attempt to continue the upgrade | 01:31 |
| diamonds | coz_: this is not happening (top right hotspot) | 01:32 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ok try shift+super+s | 01:32 |
| diamonds | what's the super? | 01:32 |
| diamonds | windows key? | 01:32 |
| coz_ | diamonds, yes | 01:32 |
| coz_ | diamonds, the original name for that key is "Super" | 01:32 |
| JZApples | I have successfully created a software RAID array using mdadm but am unable to write to the array due to permissions. I am able to copy files to it if I use sudo in the terminal. Can someone point me in a good directions for setting up the permissions on the array? | 01:32 |
| mcurran | the key with the windows logo, between Ctr and Alt | 01:32 |
| escott | JZApples, permissions on the array are just like permissions on any filesystem | 01:33 |
| diamonds | I thought it was "meta" :p | 01:33 |
| diamonds | anyway | 01:33 |
| diamonds | that does nothing | 01:33 |
| diamonds | it opens the dock | 01:33 |
| diamonds | er..... not dock but, launcher? | 01:33 |
| escott | JZApples, you probably don't have permissions to write to the mountpoint | 01:33 |
| coz_ | diamonds, and the original logo for that key is a diamond but that is just trivia :) | 01:33 |
| dr_willis | meta = another name for alt.. or was it ctrl.. | 01:33 |
| JZApples | escott, i realize that, but i'm new to linux. Where do i set that up at. | 01:33 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ah are you running Unity? | 01:33 |
| escott | !permissions | JZApples | 01:33 |
| ubottu | JZApples: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 01:33 |
| diamonds | coz_: yes, shouldn't I be? | 01:34 |
| diamonds | It came standard... | 01:34 |
| coz_ | diamonds, thats fine lets change that keybinding | 01:34 |
| escott | JZApples, you probably just want to sudo chown user:user /media/array_mountpoint | 01:34 |
| diamonds | is it secretly shit? | 01:34 |
| intrader | escott, urlin2u: I will do as you suggest - how do I determine if hardware is good? the windows partition gives me Boot disk failure. I will boot the 11.04 from the stick and then please help | 01:34 |
| diamonds | !language | diamonds | 01:34 |
| ubottu | diamonds, please see my private message | 01:34 |
| JZApples | escott, I'm assuming chown grants owner to that user? That is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you very much. | 01:34 |
| coz_ | diamonds, wait try shift + alt + up arrow | 01:34 |
| escott | JZApples, change owner | 01:35 |
| urlin2u | intrader, I think escott will know more about checking the hardware. | 01:35 |
| diamonds | coz_: that did it! | 01:35 |
| diamonds | what is that setting called? | 01:35 |
| diamonds | anyway that's not what I want, I'm talking alt-tab | 01:35 |
| coz_ | diamonds, that is the keybinding for scale | 01:35 |
| JZApples | escott, that worked like a charm. Thanks a million. | 01:35 |
| JZApples | escott | 01:35 |
| === Ool is now known as Ool_ | ||
| escott | intrader, once the live cd boots run fsck /dev/sdX# whatever the disk partition is. then open the disk utility and find the disk and find the label called SMART and check that nothing is going bad there | 01:36 |
| diamonds | I'll poke around for alt-tab settings | 01:36 |
| lalala | ola | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | diamonds, im not sure anyone rembers the original problem now.... | 01:36 |
| coz_ | diamonds, alt+tab is the Application switcher or the static application switcher | 01:36 |
| coz_ | diamonds, which of those are enabled | 01:36 |
| diamonds | static | 01:36 |
| lalala | hi | 01:36 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ok did you click on that plugin to see its options | 01:37 |
| diamonds | yes I'm looking at "behavior" but I don't see anything about the order | 01:37 |
| intrader | escott, how do I stop the xchat so it does not scroll your message out of the way? | 01:37 |
| diamonds | how do I take a screenshot? :) | 01:37 |
| coz_ | diamonds, ok then its most likely not configurable within that plugin let me check the applications switcher hold on | 01:37 |
| escott | diamonds, print screen usually | 01:38 |
| diamonds | coz_: you're a peach <3 | 01:38 |
| coz_ | peaches are good...yes? :) | 01:38 |
| escott | intrader, copy and paste it elsewhere. im not sure | 01:38 |
| diamonds | and "desktop?" | 01:39 |
| coz_ | diamonds, one setting under Application switcher and the "General" tab is "Focus on Switch" that will not change order but may be helpful while switching | 01:39 |
| diamonds | sorry, show desktop shortcut? | 01:39 |
| urlin2u | intrader, hit ctrl-f put in the nd and search to find al lthe posts of that nic | 01:39 |
| urlin2u | *nic | 01:39 |
| szal | intrader: scrolling up a bit will do the trick (but don't forget to scroll down again when you're finished ;)) | 01:40 |
| diamonds | http://i.imgur.com/JzT62.png < coz_ | 01:40 |
| coz_ | diamonds, show desktop shortcut is not under the show desktop plugin ,,itis actually under "General options" Keybindings tab | 01:40 |
| diamonds | wait wait, sorry. let's stick to the alt tab thing | 01:40 |
| diamonds | coz_ so I should activate aapplication switcher? | 01:41 |
| diamonds | nyoooo! | 01:41 |
| coz_ | ah darn fingers again | 01:41 |
| diamonds | coz_ so I should activate aapplication switcher? It warned of conflicting keybindings | 01:41 |
| coz_ | diamonds, first disable static then enable application switcher | 01:42 |
| coz_ | diamonds, however,, neither of the offer and "ordering" of the windows | 01:42 |
| coz_ | of them rather | 01:42 |
| diamonds | ffffff really? | 01:42 |
| diamonds | so I have to alt+tab+tab+tab+tab to get to one then alt+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab+tab to get back? | 01:43 |
| diamonds | that's ridic. :( | 01:43 |
| coz_ | diamonds, now if you would like to have this feature,, I am sure it is not difficult to code in,, you can go to #compiz-dev and speak with smspillaz,, if it is easy he may go ahead and put it in,, however,, it may not show up as an update for some time | 01:43 |

| admiralvorian | you guys I'm raging pretty hard right now. I'm getting the "mon0 is on channel -1" issue, research says I need to download the compat-wireless source, patch it, recompile and re-install the mac80211...but wireless.kernel.org is down! are there mirros? | 01:45 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, weak signal? | 01:45 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, no im like 7 feet from router | 01:46 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, i never get disconnects any other time its not an obvious disconnect either internet just stops and i have to manually disconnet and reconnect | 01:46 |
| intrader | escott, there is something called SMART data | 01:46 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, have you checkeed if your still on the net at these times. | 01:47 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, well yea but its not | 01:47 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, the manually disconnect and reconnect is confusing to me. | 01:48 |
| Troy^ | i have to do that to get a connection again | 01:48 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, disconnect from the router than, even though you get no internet access. | 01:49 |
| intrader | escott, in the SMART data there seem to have some problems, but I can't tell | 01:49 |
| Troy^ | yes disconnect from the router | 01:49 |
| === root is now known as Guest69821 | ||
| Troy^ | i think it has something with torrents using multiple connections but i dont have a problem in windows | 01:49 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, does your provider maybe lock you out f your bandwidth is flying? | 01:49 |
| Troy^ | no | 01:49 |
| Troy^ | it doesnt happen in windows, also other comps on my network still have a connection at that time | 01:50 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, anybody else on the network have the skills to knock you off? | 01:50 |
| escott | intrader, i need to sign off for the night, someone else can help you interpret the smart data | 01:51 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, no its a home network i am the admin :P | 01:51 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, have you accessed the router when this happens? | 01:51 |
| Troy^ | no i have not tried | 01:51 |
| w0tan34 | anyone know of any command line tools that upload incremental changes via sftp? | 01:52 |
| Troy^ | but i have a feeling its something to do with deluge and it using multiple connections] | 01:52 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, I would try that , but it will need the net to get there at least mine does, it may give more info if you can get to it but not the net in general, not sure here really. | 01:52 |
| intrader | Anyone, I have some SMART data info that I am not able to interpret. Trying to see why boot is failing - I am using 11.04 on a USB to look. | 01:53 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, yes im trying the deluge torrent channel now | 01:54 |
| Troy^ | urlin2u, i might have solved it i just limited the connections in which deluge can use it seems ok so far | 01:55 |
| diamonds | ok so my whole top bar went black | 01:55 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, cool I use deluge, but am careful with the setttings, never have problems. | 01:56 |
| Troy^ | but do you use wireless or a wired connection? | 01:56 |
| diamonds | see how black it be http://i.imgur.com/Wlk11.png | 01:56 |
| urlin2u | Troy^, one or the other mainly wireless. | 01:56 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, if you run in the terminal compiz --replace it will reload it, or logout. | 01:57 |

| diamonds | anyone know how to switch tabs in empathy? | 01:58 |
| diamonds | does anyone actually use empathy? | 01:58 |
| diamonds | I'm using it to get the ootb ubuntu experience... | 01:58 |
| urlin2u | diamonds, I put the fusion icon as a launcher on the desktop for such occasions in Natty it just reloads compiz. | 01:58 |
| ejv | diamonds, i use pidgin | 01:58 |
| ejv | pidgin + pidgin-otr > * | 01:59 |
| Dragin | Anyone? | 01:59 |
| diamonds | pidgin less than ideal for irc, imo | 01:59 |
| ejv | that's what xchat and irssi are for | 02:00 |
| diamonds | yeah | 02:00 |
| ejv | take your pick ;) | 02:00 |
| coz_ | diamonds, xchat and irssi are excellent irc clients | 02:00 |
| Dragin | Quassel is wat I am using | 02:00 |
| diamonds | I want to try xchat | 02:00 |
| diamonds | irssi was a bit... complex | 02:00 |
| diamonds | but I should probably give it another go | 02:00 |
| ejv | diamonds, you won't regret the time invested in memorizing the keybinds | 02:00 |
| coz_ | diamonds, irssi has a bit of a learning curve,,more so than xchat | 02:00 |
| diamonds | do they integrate with the desktop notification system? | 02:01 |
| diamonds | on mac this was always an issue... | 02:01 |
| ejv | diamonds, yes there is an irrsi libnotify integration, just google | 02:01 |
| coz_ | diamonds, not sure,, I have heard of a few issues with xchat on Unity | 02:01 |
| coz_ | diamonds, as far as the launcher goes I mean | 02:01 |
| diamonds | ejv: ty | 02:01 |
| ejv | s/irrsi/irssi/g | 02:01 |
| ejv | yw diamonds | 02:02 |

| KM0201 | diamonds: you install a real irc client..lol | 02:02 |
| coz_ | urlin2u, well under classic mode it's fine :) | 02:02 |
| diamonds | should I just switch to classic mode? | 02:03 |
| diamonds | I'm just learning, I don't really care that much | 02:03 |
| coz_ | diamonds, well it depends,, do you like the way Unity is | 02:03 |
| diamonds | I assumed the newest latest would be BEST but that's... it seems unclear now | 02:03 |
| diamonds | coz_: eh... compared to what? | 02:03 |
| KM0201 | !best | diamonds | 02:03 |
| ubottu | diamonds: 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. | 02:03 |
| OmegaForte | diamonds, Linux has this weird thing called regressions. Sometimes things are better if they are older. | 02:03 |
| Dragin | Never ASS U ME | 02:03 |
| urlin2u | coz_, I have it running great in natty I just have the fusion icon as a launch on the desktop when I occasionally lose the window header, no big deal. | 02:04 |
| coz_ | diamonds, Unity interface as well as gnome3 will be the defaults for most distributions,, certainly Unity for ubuntu | 02:04 |
| diamonds | KM0201: I mean "easier for a beginner" not best | 02:04 |
| urlin2u | natty unity | 02:04 |
| odie5533 | I just tried to move some files with mv and accidentally typed rm. Anyway to get them back? | 02:04 |
| OmegaForte | diamonds, Well, easy for a beginner would be gnome. It's familiar to anyone who's ever used a mac. | 02:04 |
| KM0201 | diamonds: still, really.. the same thing... if you're really used to Unity, you probably won't like gnome, i was really used to Gnome 2.x, and found unity horrid | 02:04 |
| diamonds | OmegaForte: I'm told I'm using gnome | 02:04 |
| OmegaForte | odie5533, You're working on linux. If you make a mistake, there is NO undo button. | 02:04 |
| coz_ | urlin2u, you may want to find and install displex app indicator ,, it would probably work better than fusion icon which was reallly desined for compiz 0.8.x an dpi | 02:04 |
| Dragin | odie5533 Pray? | 02:05 |
| diamonds | KM0201: I'm not used to it :p | 02:05 |
| coz_ | and prior versions I meant urlin2u | 02:05 |
| odie5533 | aww cmon... | 02:05 |
| odie5533 | isn't there a trash bin? | 02:05 |
| odie5533 | or an undelete program? | 02:05 |
| Dragin | there is in 11.04 | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | diamonds: if you intend to stick w/ Ubuntu, personally... i would stay w/ unity.. | 02:05 |
| KM0201 | since gnome 2.x is gonna be gone in a short few months. | 02:05 |
| odie5533 | Dragin: I'm on 11.04 | 02:05 |
| urlin2u | coz_, thanks I look for it it's not in the repos. | 02:05 |
| Dragin | but don't know how thst would work with a Terminal app | 02:06 |
| diamonds | basically my question is this: "It seems like Unity has some more complications that classic. Are there enough benefits for me to use unity? Is everything moving in that direction so I should go ahead and get used to it? Or is it just as safe/good to switch back to classic and there will be fewer headaches?" | 02:06 |
| coz_ | urlin2u, no I dont think so hold on | 02:06 |
| diamonds | KM0201: ok ty! | 02:06 |

| urlin2u | coz_, I found this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/displex-compizemerald-appindicator.html | 02:06 |
| Twist9 | hey, anyone in here know a channel I could go to to discuss IEEE 802.22 development? | 02:06 |
| coz_ | urlin2u, here is the home page http://sourceforge.net/p/displex/home/Home/ | 02:07 |
| OmegaForte | Twist9, This is not off-topic. | 02:07 |
| Twist9 | meaning get out or you know something about IEEE 802.22 dev? | 02:07 |
| diamonds | OmegaForte: no, I don't have the windows style task bar with windows listed | 02:07 |
| Dragin | my guess is the former | 02:08 |
| coz_ | urlin2u, when installed,, is should show up under system tools | 02:08 |
| OmegaForte | Twist9, No, It means that topic is not discussed in the UBUNTU SUPPORT channel. | 02:08 |
| OmegaForte | diamonds, Then you're using unity. | 02:08 |
| urlin2u | coz_, cool thanks.;) | 02:08 |
| Twist9 | what's the primary Ubuntu dev channel on freenode? | 02:08 |
| OmegaForte | Twist9, I don't know. | 02:09 |
| OmegaForte | Twist9, And why ask specifically about 802.22? | 02:09 |
| rww | Twist9: #ubuntu-devel | 02:09 |
| coz_ | Twist9, ah well #ubuntu-dev perhaps but it is NOT a support channel | 02:09 |
| intrader | Anyone, I have some SMART data info that I am not able to interpret. Trying to see why boot is failing - I am using 11.04 on a USB to look. | 02:09 |
| Twist9 | because I'm trying to find out about mesh network capability of the new 802.22 protocol | 02:10 |
| enyawix | is there a difference between standard ubuntu and ubuntu server aside from package selection? are the packages complied differently? is ubuntu server hardened more than standard ubuntu? | 02:10 |
| OmegaForte | Twist9, Then go ask the right place. Why would you ask in a linux support channel? | 02:10 |
| coz_ | Twist9, perhaps the ##linux channel can help | 02:10 |
| Twist9 | what was my first question? Oh right, if anyone knew what channel I should go to | 02:10 |
| Twist9 | thanx coz_ | 02:10 |
| Twist9 | I'm out | 02:10 |

| Dragin | Isn't that on topic? | 02:11 |
| OmegaForte | Dragin, Yeah it is. But I don't know how you'd run into permission errors for reading a usermount. | 02:11 |
| coz_ | Dragin, sounds reasonably on topic | 02:11 |
| Dragin | thanks both | 02:12 |
| Dice-Man | Dragin: fstab maybe ?? | 02:12 |
| Dragin | At least I know I didn't make anyone angry ;p; | 02:12 |

| Dragin | In terminal I assume Dice-Man? | 02:12 |
| Dice-Man | Dragin: hum you could check how to edit your fstab file located in /etc/fstab | 02:13 |
| Dice-Man | Dragin: there are plenty of docs about it on the web | 02:13 |
| Dragin | thanks | 02:13 |

| Dice-Man | Dragin: or you could search on the mount options too | 02:14 |
| Datz | intrader: well try wikipeida | 02:14 |

| intrader | OmegaForte, many problems with upgrade 11.04 are reported. I was told I needed to upgrade in order to use iPod. | 02:20 |
| fatman45 | A few months ago I upgraded to 11.04 (x64). An update a few weeks ago hosed my video. It included an ATI driver update but I was using Nvidia. | 02:20 |
| === nickmoeck_ is now known as nickmoeck | ||
| fatman45 | After the update, the colors were wrong and I was getting artifacts. I checked the Nvidia driver and it read as active but not in use. | 02:21 |

| intrader | OmegaForte, can I reinstall 10.10 and use the backup I made with Smart Backup? | 02:26 |
| Bernhard | after installing ubuntu server 11.4 i get these errors. On reboot the file system /boot is corrupted. When i repair this disk with knoppix cd it says it was uncleanly unmounted. after repair it boots normal. But after a reboot i gives the same error. The error message is Cannot write bytes: pipe error. Basicly it does not unmount /boot correctly. Then i installed Debian to see if it was a | 02:28 |
| Bernhard | software issue. But the i get about a similar error. When Debian shuts down it says something like this: cannot unmount file system failed. So it seems it is some sort of same issue.. idears ? | 02:28 |

| OmegaForte | intrader, I don't know. I use rsync to back up my basic data and my code, then I just redeploy. | 02:30 |
| fatman45 | @Crash1hd move the files first then remove the second foldera | 02:30 |
| OmegaForte | Lostvoices, 1440x900 and 1680x1050 | 02:31 |

| johannes-gateway | can someone please google that error message for me? all I got is the terminal and irssi | 02:36 |
| enyawix | i helped Twist9 any takers for my question? it is clearly a ubuntu question | 02:36 |
| urlin2u | johannes-gateway, you can't bring up a browser with the cli? | 02:37 |
| fatman45 | @Crash1hd, you don't. Enter the second foldera and cp * to .. (parent folder). Then cd .. Then rm -r foldera - should remove the second foldera only. | 02:37 |
| johannes-gateway | urlin2u down know how | 02:37 |
| urlin2u | johannes-gateway, tyoe firefox | 02:37 |
| urlin2u | type | 02:37 |
| Crash1hd | fatman45, so there is no way to move recursive | 02:37 |
| diamonds | how does one go about finding the appropriate drivers for their wireless nic? | 02:37 |
| Crash1hd | have to do a cp | 02:37 |
| Reaper | I think i'm in classic ubuntu, anyone know how to get the other back? | 02:37 |
| diamonds | or, how does one figure out what model they have on this baby? | 02:38 |
| urlin2u | Reaper, at the login | 02:38 |
| enyawix | is there a difference between standard ubuntu and ubuntu server aside from package selection? are the packages complied differently? is ubuntu server hardened more than standard ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| johannes-gateway | it is not installed, and I would probably need a lot of space for X server and so on | 02:38 |
| fatman45 | @Crash1hd it's safer - just my old habits creeping in. | 02:38 |
| Reaper | theres no option at the log in.. it just logs in | 02:38 |

| FFForever | (anymore) | 02:44 |

| geogeek1 | any idea on "move_uploaded_file" function error in ubuntu ?? | 02:45 |
| urlin2u | FFForever, not really sorry. | 02:45 |
| diamonds | because I get "wireless disabled by hardware switch" but can't seem to turn it back on | 02:45 |
| diamonds | normally fn+f2 does it | 02:45 |
| fatman45 | @geogeek1 probably a permissions error. | 02:45 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds, no idea about that, maybe try another kernel version? I guess intel wlan drivers are part of the kernel, so this might help if its a driver problem | 02:46 |
| diamonds | but... | 02:46 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway, how would I go about this? | 02:46 |
| diamonds | sorry, maybe i'm over my head here :/ | 02:46 |
| geogeek1 | fatman45: i had given all the permissions 777 to the destination folder | 02:46 |
| johannes-gateway | google: "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless disabled by hardware switch" | 02:47 |

| johannes-gateway | what solutions does it involve? | 03:09 |
| rakathan | diamonds, are you trying to get ubuntu to recognize a wireless interface you have physically in the computer already? | 03:09 |
| Lostvoices | hi guys, do i need Antivrus on ubuntu? | 03:09 |
| diamonds | one was "get these files from live CD" but it was for an older version | 03:09 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway, | 03:09 |
| ParkerR | diamonds, maybe iwconfig or wicd might help | 03:09 |
| rakathan | Lostvoices, generally no...just use common sense | 03:09 |
| diamonds | rakathan, not sure what you mean | 03:09 |
| Lostvoices | cool. i'm really starting to like ubuntu | 03:09 |
| diamonds | a wireless interface "physically connected?" | 03:09 |
| ParkerR | Like it it internal | 03:10 |
| rakathan | diamonds what is your current situation? you're "trying to get wireless to work" | 03:10 |
| rakathan | can you be more specific? | 03:10 |
| diamonds | rakathan, ok | 03:10 |
| diamonds | one moment | 03:10 |
| diamonds | rakathan, ParkerR johannes-gateway http://pastie.org/pastes/2337321/text | 03:11 |
| Polah | abhi: Unplug it | 03:11 |
| abhi | Polah, when i forcefully unplug it, there remain the traces like .trash1000 folder | 03:12 |
| Polah | abhi: Where the drive was mounted? | 03:13 |
| abhi | means it is not safely removed | 03:13 |
| rakathan | diamonds, so you're just trying to connect to a network then? it looks like everything is working correctly | 03:13 |
| rww | My apologies for the following modespam: | 03:14 |
| oxyrosis | i broke amarok, it no longer has the media sources functionality. so i deleted it using synaptic. when i reinstall using either Ubuntu package manager or synaptic amarok is still missing media sources. how can i obliterate amarok so i can start out fresh entirely | 03:14 |
| abhi | it is s 2gb stick, attached to usb 2.0 port, Let me know if you need anything more | 03:14 |
| ParkerR | diamonds, what is your wifi network name | 03:14 |
| Polah | abhi: what filesystem is it? | 03:15 |
| abhi | OK, it is FAT | 03:15 |
| dr_willis | oxyrosis, its most likely your 'users settings' not the system settings.. thus the logic of remove/reinstalling it - wont fix it. :) theres most likely some amarok settings directory in your home that you should remove/rename. | 03:15 |
| oxyrosis | awesome dr_willis, i'll try that before i reinstall it again | 03:16 |
| ubuntu4shane | there is nothing stronger that sudo rm -frv direcotry right?? I'm getting a read file-system only? which it isn't. Very odd | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | oxyrosis, the whole remove/reinstall to 'fix' things is a 'windows-trained-mindset' The package manager tools should never touch anything in the users home dirs or settings. | 03:16 |
| Polah | abhi: Unplugging it should be fine, you can remove the leftover folders afterwards | 03:16 |
| rakathan | diamonds, if you're trying to find a network you can use airodump-ng...if you want to connect to a network use iwconfig | 03:16 |
| dr_willis | oxyrosis, its just that many windows apps have a 'clean user settings...' feature :) thats not how the apt system works. | 03:17 |
| diamonds | rakathan, it says wireless is off by hardware switch | 03:17 |
| oxyrosis | well, i dont see an amarok folder or file after i enable hidden files | 03:17 |
| dr_willis | theres 100's of dirs of config files... | 03:18 |
| abhi | Polah: Won't it rise any errors? | 03:18 |
| oxyrosis | at least, not an amarok file or folder i recognize as such | 03:18 |
| rakathan | diamonds, the pastebin you linked says Hard blocked: no | 03:18 |
| rakathan | diamonds, never mind | 03:18 |
| Polah | abhi: No. "Safely removing" the drive only makes sure all reads/writes are completed before dismounting it. Unless you're reading/writing from it when it's unplugged it should be fine | 03:18 |
| rakathan | diamonds, I see it now on phy0...I was looking at dell-wifi | 03:19 |
| diamonds | rakathan, when I click the icon top right | 03:19 |
| cntb | task manager is invoked with ctrl alt del in windows and there you can kick process or task delaying execution | 03:19 |
| rakathan | diamonds this may sound obvious...but have you checked any possible hardware switches on the wireless card or laptop? | 03:19 |
| cntb | What key combination here on NAtty_ | 03:20 |
| diamonds | rakathan: there's just fn+f2 | 03:20 |
| === dvz- is now known as Guest92300 | ||
| diamonds | which does NOT turn the "wifi" light on for some reason | 03:20 |
| diamonds | it turns the bluetooth indicator light on and off | 03:20 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds do you see wlan0 when you type in ifconfig? | 03:20 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: no | 03:20 |
| diamonds | eth0 and lo | 03:20 |
| abhi | Polah: Oh, great! Now I got how does it work. Thanks Polah. It means that it should not make any issue. Really thanks! Cheers! | 03:21 |
| rakathan | diamonds, what brand/model laptop are you using? assuming it is a laptop | 03:21 |
| diamonds | rakathan: e1505 dell inspiron | 03:21 |
| diamonds | I've googled it, came up with stuff for older versions | 03:21 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds have a look at /etc/network/interfaces and tell me, if there is a wlan0 mentioned in it | 03:22 |
| seanmc98 | how do i run zenmap with root privledges> | 03:23 |
| rakathan | diamonds can you link the output of lsmod please? | 03:23 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: can't see... do I need to su? | 03:23 |
| diamonds | rakathan: how do I redirect output to clipboard? | 03:23 |
| rakathan | diamonds yeah sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces for that | 03:23 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds yes, sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 03:24 |
| diamonds | what's the default root password? :D | 03:24 |
| abhi | Polah: Have a great day! | 03:24 |
| Polah | abhi: You too | 03:24 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds your password (user) | 03:24 |
| Polah | diamonds: Doesn't exist. | 03:24 |
| cntb | What key combination here on NAtty to invoke task manager? | 03:24 |
| cntb | task manager is invoked with ctrl alt del in windows and there you can kick process or task delaying execution | 03:24 |
| Polah | cntb: There is none, although you could go to System > Preferences and set up a keyboard shortcut to open up System Monitor | 03:25 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: auto lo [newline] iface lo inet loopback | 03:26 |
| cntb | Polah ok any suggestion for a good combination not used | 03:26 |
| pastorbelga | @search Scott Cleland | 03:26 |

| rww | pastorbelga: #ubuntu has no search bot. | 03:26 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds now try this: open the same file with the editor you know best: gedit, kate, nano, maybe even vim, sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 03:26 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: ok | 03:27 |
| diamonds | "vim not found" o_O | 03:27 |
| diamonds | vi is there :p | 03:27 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds now look at the way the lines you mentioned above are formatted and apply the same to those two new line | 03:27 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: now what? | 03:27 |
| dr_willis | and vi is vim. :) in most cases | 03:27 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: not sure I follow you | 03:28 |
| diamonds | what am I writing? | 03:28 |
| johannes-gateway | so you opened the file with gedit now? | 03:28 |
| Polah | cntb: Well you can set Ctrl+Alt+Delete to it if you'd like. | 03:28 |
| diamonds | with vi | 03:28 |
| goddard | when is the next update coming out? | 03:28 |
| johannes-gateway | dont use vi, its too hard to learn for now, use gedit | 03:28 |
| johannes-gateway | or nano | 03:28 |
| Polah | goddard: If you're talking about the next version of Ubuntu, October. | 03:28 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: I know vi/vim best | 03:29 |
| johannes-gateway | great | 03:29 |
| admiralvorian | you guys I'm raging pretty hard right now. I'm getting the "mon0 is on channel -1" issue, research says I need to download the compat-wireless source, patch it, recompile and re-install the mac80211...but wireless.kernel.org is down! are there mirros? | 03:29 |
| diamonds | I don't know how to use geddit | 03:29 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds then use vim, you should add those two lines below the others | 03:29 |
| diamonds | so copy the two lines? | 03:29 |
| admiralvorian | diamonds, it's a GUI text editor | 03:29 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: what two lines? | 03:29 |
| Singham | hi..wine install windows based softwares..is there any software to install mac(.dmg) softwares ? | 03:29 |
| johannes-gateway | first: auto wlan0 | 03:29 |
| diamonds | copy and paste the existing lines? | 03:30 |
| FranMan | w | 03:30 |
| johannes-gateway | the lines which are already there are not to be touched! | 03:30 |
| johannes-gateway | just write below | 03:30 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: ok I added that line | 03:30 |
| th0r | Singham: no | 03:30 |
| johannes-gateway | and now the second: iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 03:30 |
| Singham | <th0r> : Ok | 03:31 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian, which driver do you need? | 03:31 |
| diamonds | then source the file? | 03:31 |
| diamonds | or restart? | 03:31 |
| johannes-gateway | save the file | 03:31 |
| diamonds | saved, quit | 03:31 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, I need the source for the compat-wireless module | 03:31 |
| admiralvorian | which includes mac80211 | 03:31 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian I'll help you look for a mirror or something | 03:32 |
| johannes-gateway | now type this into the terminal: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (this will disconnect you internet though) | 03:32 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, thanks man | 03:32 |
| admiralvorian | lemme link you to what's supposed to work | 03:32 |
| diamonds | ok ttfn | 03:33 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ | 03:33 |
| admiralvorian | it's down :( | 03:33 |
| rakathan | yeah, that's really unusual | 03:33 |
| admiralvorian | is it down for you as well? I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue on my end | 03:33 |
| rakathan | I'm looking through the google cached pages to see if there are any external mirrors listed | 03:33 |
| rakathan | I can't get to it either | 03:33 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: http://pastie.org/pastes/2337411/text :p | 03:34 |
| diamonds | no such luck | 03:34 |
| rakathan | diamonds have you seen this article? the comments at the bottom might be loosely related...? http://www.dotkam.com/2008/11/17/configure-iwl3945-driver-on-ubuntu/ | 03:35 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian what is your current kernel version? | 03:35 |
| diamonds | heh heh.... | 03:35 |
| rakathan | not the one you want to compat to | 03:35 |
| diamonds | you're not going to believe this, but... | 03:36 |
| admiralvorian | 2.6.38-10-generic | 03:36 |
| rakathan | diamonds ...wireless switch turned off? | 03:36 |
| admiralvorian | x64 | 03:36 |
| diamonds | no | 03:36 |
| diamonds | SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill | 03:36 |
| diamonds | that command "rfkill list all" that said wifi was soft blocked | 03:36 |
| diamonds | I read the short manpage | 03:36 |
| diamonds | "rfkill unblock wifi" :p | 03:36 |
| diamonds | whodathunk | 03:37 |
| rakathan | diamonds haha, congrats on getting it working then | 03:37 |
| diamonds | we'll see if it works | 03:37 |
| diamonds | it sees wireless networks... | 03:38 |
| diamonds | whether it's going to connect :/ | 03:38 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds :-D | 03:38 |
| diamonds | doesn't seem to want to connect, but we're closer! | 03:38 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, just to make sure you got it, my kernel version is 2.6.38-10-generic on x64 11.04 | 03:39 |
| johannes-gateway | diamonds please pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 03:39 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian yeah, I'm looking around for mirrors now...I've only seen mirrors that list packages so far...not the packages/sources themselves | 03:39 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, have you head anything about this 'interface is on channel -1" problem? | 03:40 |
| diamonds | johannes-gateway: http://pastie.org/pastes/2337427/text | 03:40 |
| diamonds | confirming correct password... | 03:41 |
| diamonds | ok cutting the cord... | 03:41 |
| * diamonds crosses fingers | 03:41 | |
| rakathan | admiralvorian, yeah I've had to deal with that...it's a nightmare | 03:42 |
| rakathan | you're on the right track though | 03:42 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian do you know what chipset your wireless card uses? I'm willing to bet it's ralink | 03:42 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, yeahhhhhhh | 03:43 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, wait it might be atheros | 03:43 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, let me check real quick | 03:43 |

| stev66 | Hiya | 03:52 |
| mbrochh | Hi all. I want to get rid of my login screen (Ubuntu 11.04) all sources online talk about Administration -> Login Window but I only have "Login Screen" there which opens a window that only has one tab... | 03:52 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, do you think this will work on my kernel?? http://forum.gnacktrack.co.uk/Installing-Compact-Wireless-patched-on-Ubuntu-Maveric-with-Kernel-2-6-35-to-2-6-37-td2641109.html | 03:52 |
| johannes-gateway | :-D happy fpr you | 03:52 |
| mbrochh | I think on that window there are the needed options but when I set it to automatically login as .... I cannot select any user. How do I add my user to that list? | 03:52 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian nope, that's compat for a kernel older than yours, and it compats up to a kernel that's still older :D | 03:53 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, damn! | 03:53 |
| admiralvorian | I saw another thread that says downloading the kernel source will download the compat source too | 03:54 |
| abe | Hello, Ubuntu 11.04 is not detecting my Lenovo s10-3c netbook's keypad, does anybody have any idea regarding this issue? How to make it work? | 03:54 |

| stev66 | I've a little understanding problem with PHP error reporting. In the php.ini I have display_errors = On; and error_reporting = Off; By default I don't want to display errors. However I want to be able to switch them on by script. When I add this line to my script: error_reporting(E_ALL); i expected it to display all errors but parse errors for example got straight into a blank page. Am I not allowed to override the php.ini directi | 03:54 |
| bullgard4_ | mbrochh: Your message is incomprehensible to me. Say it in other words, please. | 03:55 |
| args[0] | I believe stev66 's question should be asked in either ##php or #ubuntu-server | 03:56 |
| stev66 | Ok, is this room more for the desktop ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| args[0] | stev66: yep | 03:56 |
| stev66 | ok | 03:56 |
| abe | As we normally observe, Fn key is in leftmost position in keypad. But my keypad has Fn and Ctrl key positions altered. Does this make any difference? | 03:57 |
| rww | stev66: I don't think you're able to override php.ini, no. | 03:57 |

| mbrochh | bullgard4_: I want to get rid of the login screen. When I start UBuntu it should login to my user automatically. | 03:57 |
| mbrochh | bullgard4_: Of course I googled the problem and all solutions suggest to go to Administration --> Login Window | 03:58 |
| mbrochh | bullgard4_: On my system, strangely, however this is called "Login Screen" not "Login Window" and it has a setting for automatically login user ... but the list of users is empty. | 03:58 |
| wols_ | mbrochh: can you type in a user? | 03:59 |
| mbrochh | no its a drop down list which is disabled because there is no user in it | 03:59 |
| Rudolf_ | How to install wi fi drivers on fedora 15? | 04:00 |
| rww | Rudolf_: ask #fedora | 04:00 |
| bullgard4_ | mbrochh: In my Lucid this list is not empty. You will probably have to tinker on the gdm configuration (which may prove to be difficult). | 04:00 |
| Rudolf_ | What is # fedora? | 04:00 |
| mbrochh | * sigh* ... | 04:00 |
| rww | Rudolf_: the technical support channel for Fedora | 04:00 |
| Rudolf_ | I tried it. They suggested am | 04:01 |
| rww | Rudolf_: You're in #ubuntu, which is unsurprisingly the technical support channel for Ubuntu, not Fedora. | 04:01 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian I think at this point it would be easiest to just wait for the site to come back up - it's strange that the current drivers don't work for injection though | 04:01 |
| Rudolf_ | Lan ethernet cable as a solution | 04:01 |
| exodus_ms | anyone know how i can remove libre office? sudo apt-get --purge remove libreoffice doesnt work | 04:02 |
| abe | Hello, Ubuntu 11.04 is not detecting my Lenovo s10-3c netbook's keypad, does anybody have any knowledge regarding such issue? How to make it work? | 04:02 |
| wols_ | abe: dpkg -l |grep libreoffice remove those packages | 04:03 |
| bullgard4_ | exodus_ms: "Doesn't work" is no precise description. What exact error message do you obtain? | 04:03 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, I'm going to try and get the source from the ubuntu source - what's the apt command for that? sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r) | 04:03 |
| admiralvorian | apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) | 04:03 |
| exodus_ms | bullgard4, "E: Couldn't find package libreoffice" | 04:04 |
| abe | wols_: will that make the keyboard detect? | 04:04 |
| wols_ | abe: keyboard detect? | 04:04 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian you're going into uncharted territory for me; I don't know much about apt commands and source management | 04:04 |
| wols_ | admiralvorian: download kernel source won't get your kernel source. it will simply get you the same source the kernel and its wireless was made of | 04:05 |
| wols_ | admiralvorian: if you want to use compat wireless you download it from linux-wireless.org | 04:05 |
| admiralvorian | wols_, yes i need to patch | 04:06 |
| rakathan | wols_ it's down :( | 04:06 |
| admiralvorian | wols_, it's down | 04:06 |
| JZApples | What is the SAMBA configuration file that contains the remembered shares from a USB device? | 04:06 |
| admiralvorian | wols_, the compat source is not in my kernel source? | 04:06 |
| wols_ | I know :( nothing you can do but wait | 04:06 |
| exodus_ms | lame... searching "libreoffice" in synaptic package manager brings up everything installed, but using the terminal I get "E: Couldn't find package libreoffice" | 04:06 |
| wols_ | JZApples: /etc/samba/smb.conf ? | 04:06 |
| bullgard4_ | exodus_ms: So there does not exist a package libreoffice. I am sorry that I cannot help you any more because my Oneiric computer is just busy for an hour downloading. | 04:06 |
| wols_ | exodus_ms: synaptic won't give you "Libreoffce" but things like "Libreoffice-common". there is a difference there | 04:08 |
| JZApples | wols_, i read some of it and did a search for the mount point and it didn't find it. It must be in there as something else. | 04:10 |
| wols_ | JZApples: what are you actually trying to do? mountpoints of different servers do't sow up there | 04:10 |
| wols_ | but then your usb remark doesn't make any sense | 04:10 |
| propman_ | admiralvorian: fwiw just logged onto http://linux-wireless.org/ from here | 04:11 |
| JZApples | wols_, I have an external RAID array hooked up via USB and Ubuntu usually remembers the shares, but not always. It might be doing it, just slower sometimes so I manually do it, that I don't know. I basically was curious where these shares are remembered at so I could troubleshoot it further and learn more about it. | 04:13 |
| wols_ | what "shares"ß are you saring out this raid as a samba share or are you connecting TO a share? | 04:13 |
| admiralvorian | propman_, does that site mirror wireless.kernel.org? | 04:14 |
| wols_ | propman_: but linuxwireless.org is what is needed | 04:14 |
| admiralvorian | propman_, I'm looking for http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6 | 04:14 |
| admiralvorian | or any mirror | 04:14 |
| JZApples | wols_, saring out? Uhh I basically mount the drive then right click on the folder in it and click Sharing Options. | 04:15 |
| wols_ | JZApples: that's some gnome (or unity? setting. would be somewhere in your ~ | 04:16 |

| mrudang | Hey so quick question. Say I had trouble with resuming and I added resume to my hooks in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Do I have to remove autodetect or is it ok for them both to be in there? | 04:23 |

| lilcyber | Hey | 04:37 |
| admiralvorian | rakathan, thanks for all that help, i patched that source, compiled it a loaded the new module...same result! | 04:38 |
| admiralvorian | looks like I'm going to just install bt5 locally and use that :/ | 04:38 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian that is incredibly strange, but I haven't worked with realtek drivers before so they might just not support injection | 04:39 |
| rakathan | admiralvorian but I do know backtrack has its own special wireless drivers compiled for some chipsets - you could try looking into getting those compiled and installed on your system | 04:40 |

| endip | Network manager isn't working for me, so I had to set some configurations manually with the help of wols here in the IRC. Unfortunately, I put my eth0 'down' and when I brought it back 'up' it wouldn't get an IP. So, I assigned an IP manually using ifconfig eth0 192.169.. etc, and I'm having trouble connecting to the router. Can anyone help me get connect again? | 04:43 |
| NStech | ok i rebooted and now its acting up again. | 04:43 |
| rakathan | endip have you tried dhclient eth0 ? | 04:45 |
| wildbat | endip: how you setting it ?and why you use ip for wols? MAC address should work better | 04:45 |
| endip | What? Network manager is working now!!! I have no idea why though. (Kind a wish I knew.) | 04:45 |
| endip | rakathan no I hadn't tried that. | 04:45 |
| endip | wildbat :: wols told me to use an IP address set manually. I don't know. You're right, though, I'd rather use MAC address. | 04:46 |
| NStech | i tried sudo chown sprocket:sprocket sf_Data and its not working again | 04:46 |
| xiaowu | hao | 04:46 |
| xiaowu | 好 | 04:46 |

| corinth | After booting into Ubuntu, it seems that my icon pack(s) are missing. I didn't change anything, but mono-light is missing. Any clue why this would happen? | 04:47 |

| endip | wildbat :: I manually setup network info in /etc/network/interfaces and I also used ifconfig command to set the same info. I was unable to ping google, until I went to my networking icon in the panel and click on Auto eth0 and it started right up. Wish I new why it's working this time. Hopefully it connects automatically when I restart the PC. | 04:49 |
| NStech | i used sudo chown sprocket:sprocket sf_Data and its not changing the owner. and im getting no errors or anything | 04:49 |
| endip | rakathan, && wildbat thanks for responding. much appreciated. | 04:49 |
| corinth | Is there any reason why my icon packs and theme wouldn't load after restarting? | 04:49 |
| rakathan | endip no problem, hope it works out...if it doesn't reconnect you can dhclient eth0 | 04:50 |
| rakathan | endip and that should grab an ip address from the router | 04:50 |
| JZApples | What is the configuration file that contains the remembered shares from a USB device when right clicking on the folder and selecting Sharing Options? | 04:50 |
| endip | rakathan, yeah, I'm going to go read up on dhclient right now | 04:50 |
| wildbat | endip, if you use DHCP / NM ~ you should remove the entry in /etc/network/interfaces. | 04:50 |
| endip | wildbat :: ok. What will happen if i don't change the entries in interfaces? | 04:51 |
| endip | wildbat, will it prevent dhcp from working? | 04:51 |
| wildbat | endip: you will bound to the setting in the interfaces and NM won't work with your adapter. should you choose to use static ip ~ you need to set DNS sever setting to ping google.com etc.... | 04:53 |
| jon__ | can someone help me? im trying to login to my ubuntu 10.10 desktop and im getting a 'grub rescue' prompt | 04:53 |
| === jon__ is now known as skpl | ||
| rakathan | skpl did you make any changes to your hard drive patitioning recently? | 04:54 |
| endip | wildbat, gotcha, thanks. I'll try to use dhcp for the time being, but in the long run I want to manage the network myself in that regard. | 04:54 |
| wildbat | endip: if you wanna NM , remove it. if you wanna use dchp w/o NM ~ you can change the setting in interfaces. | 04:54 |
| skpl | rakathan: no the only thing i did was install 11.04 to a flash drive | 04:54 |
| abhi | Hello, I have Lenovo s10-3c netbook of which keypad is not working with ubuntu 11.04 it did not work with 1010 also. how to check the issue? | 04:54 |
| rakathan | skpl and you get the grub rescue prompt when you try to boot from the flash drive? | 04:55 |
| skpl | rakathan: no, when i try to boot from my hd | 04:55 |
| skpl | rakathan: it also saysm | 04:55 |
| endip | wildat, I'll have to read up on that. | 04:55 |
| skpl | rakathan: it also says "error: no such device: and then a bunch of numbers | 04:56 |
| wildbat | endip: you can DCHP + fix a IP to a MAC in router setting ~ that's better . | 04:56 |
| rakathan | skpl so grub is installed on your hard drive? | 04:56 |
| skpl | rakathan: yes | 04:56 |
| endip | wildbat, the only issue I'm having now is I'm installing updates and my download speed is really slow. My laptop (which i'm using to chat) isn't having this problem. I even had ubuntu find the fastest server and switched to it. | 04:57 |
| rakathan | skpl what happens when you try to boot with/without the flash drive in? | 04:57 |
| mbrochh | Arrrrrrrg. This is so damn frustrating... Whenever I chose any theme, like Ambience for example, the panel doesn't change its color. Also for example Google Chrome, which is set to use the GTK Themes colors, stays blue. What is wrong with my Ubuntu? It's a fresh install... | 04:57 |
| rakathan | skpl also what OS is loaded on your hard drive? | 04:57 |
| skpl | rakathan: i havent tried booting with the flash drive in because it is an older computer, should i try that? | 04:58 |
| wildbat | endip: that's another issue . ~ DHCP don't affect the speed of the connection. | 04:58 |
| skpl | rakathan: ubuntu 10.10 on my hd | 04:58 |
| mbrochh | WHen I login, for a second I can see that the panel looks good and all but then it changes back to ugly white color | 04:58 |
| rakathan | skpl yes, try to boot from the hard drive with the flash drive in the computer- grub is looking for the flash drive but can't find it | 04:58 |
| Dynamic | can anyone tell me how I can go about adding different fonts to the terminal | 04:58 |
| rakathan | skpl you should be able to choose which OS to boot from in grub, ubuntu 10.10 from hd or 11.04 from flash drive | 04:58 |
| endip | wildbat -- Right, I wouldn't think so. It seemed like the updates were downloading really fast until it got to the java update and now it's creeping...like under 20kb/s | 04:59 |
| skpl | rakathan: how will i fix that so i can boot without the flas drive in? | 04:59 |
| wildbat | endip: the speed is depending on your connection and which mirror server you use and how busy they are ~ you have little control over it other then pick different server. | 04:59 |
| rakathan | skpl when you get into your desktop ubuntu 10.10, try running sudo update-grub | 04:59 |
| rakathan | skpl without the flash drive in | 04:59 |
| abhi | Dynamic: you are advised to add only monospace fonts only | 05:00 |
| endip | wildbat -- fair enough. thanks | 05:00 |
| rakathan | skpl it should remove the flash drive reference if the drive is out | 05:00 |
| skpl | rakathan: ok thanks, i'll go try it now | 05:00 |

| wsbl-uhpd651 | How do I fix this? | 05:04 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | It's strange, because it worked just fine the very first time I used this flash drive ... | 05:04 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, anything on it now? | 05:04 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Yes - that's kind of the problem - tons of pictures ... | 05:05 |

| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: fsck it . | 05:05 |
| urlin2u | wsbl-uhpd651, do you just pull it out generaly without unmounting? | 05:05 |
| NStech | ok i did some reasearch and i need to be in a specific user group. | 05:05 |
| urlin2u | +1 the fsck | 05:05 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: what do you mean? Is that terminal command? | 05:05 |
| NStech | i am typing sudo usermod -G vboxsf sprocket is that correct? | 05:06 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | urlin2u: No, I always unmount it the proper way, by "safely remove drive" | 05:06 |
| wildbat | !fsck | wsbl-uhpd651 | 05:06 |
| ubottu | wsbl-uhpd651: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 05:06 |

| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: What is strange - that when I plugged it into a Windows PC - it assigned it drive letter G and thought it was a CD ... | 05:37 |
| Lostvoices | ok i'll see if i can find another disc :) | 05:38 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: OK ... let me try that then ... | 05:38 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: or you can check the drive in windows | 05:38 |
| YankDownUnder | ...sticking brand new disks into a dirty drive isn't always a good option... | 05:38 |
| AsadR | how do i find out the configure arguments that were used to build a particular package in ubuntu? | 05:39 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: when I ran the fdisk command, it told me it could not open it ... | 05:39 |
| jrib | AsadR: read debian/rules in the source package | 05:40 |
| jrib | !source | AsadR | 05:40 |
| ubottu | AsadR: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 05:40 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: Let me try check it in Windows, just a sec ... | 05:40 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: are you running as root ? sudo -i if not . | 05:40 |
| stillParsnip | wsbl-uhpd651: is it just some USB stick / SD card? | 05:41 |

| Gasseus | Is there something I can add to chromium to make it right click -> set as wallpaper? | 05:43 |
| drewbert | So I just upgraded | 05:43 |
| drewbert | So gnome 3 is the worst thing ever. | 05:44 |
| drewbert | I'm so confused. | 05:44 |
| gry | !classic | drewbert | 05:44 |
| ubottu | drewbert: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 05:44 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: i'd check the exte | 05:44 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip Windows only... | 05:44 |
| drewbert | gry: do you feel the future of ubuntu is ubuntu classic? | 05:45 |
| jrib | drewbert: you can choose "classic" as your session at the login screen if you don't want to use unity | 05:45 |
| drewbert | or should I take the time to learn this? | 05:45 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: i'd check the extensions page. Rallydriver busdriver today | 05:45 |
| drewbert | jrib: ty | 05:45 |
| gry | drewbert: If you like classic, switch to it. I think it would be supported. | 05:45 |
| * jrib notices the bot had already said that :D | 05:45 | |
| * drewbert I noticed that too. Okay people, well I guess I'm logging out and switching to classic. | 05:46 | |
| urlin2u | natty is the last classic desktop | 05:46 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: there's a thing you can add to nautilus to do it. Could download image then do it there. | 05:46 |
| gry | drewbert: See you on the other side. | 05:46 |
| drewbert | gry: ciao! | 05:46 |
| drewbert | ... how do I log out? | 05:46 |
| drewbert | all my menu bars are gone | 05:47 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip Nautilus? Oh you mean that file browser that goes untouched? | 05:47 |
| stillParsnip | drewbert: top right button | 05:47 |
| gry | drewbert: The button at right top. | 05:47 |
| drewbert | stillParsnip: ah, thanks | 05:47 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: what do you use. I'm a pcmanfm man myself | 05:47 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip uhh... I don't really use a file explorer. Its terminal for minecraft stuff and chromium for web, nothing else | 05:48 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: gotcha. You could make a script to set it using gconf | 05:49 |
| Gasseus | meh, it was worth a try... I guess there isn't a way in chromium? | 05:49 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: is there a chromium channel? | 05:50 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip not that I know of | 05:50 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: you could make the extension yourself :-) | 05:50 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: I was running those commands as root. I don't think the check disk on it in Windows will work because that PC is not even identifying the "removable disk" correctly (it thinks it is a CD drive). | 05:51 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip CBA if I don't have any simple explanation of the underlying API. | 05:51 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | stillParsnip: Yes - it is a 16 GB PNY flash drive. I have tons of pictures backed up on here, which is why this sucks ... | 05:51 |
| mfilipe | what is the better way to do a fresh install? sometimes I have afraid about new technologies that Canonical adds in new versions that I don't get because my config or base package installed. for example: evolution to thinderbird | 05:51 |
| stillParsnip | Gasseus: might have a whirl later, if you extract the extension files you will see their guts | 05:52 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | stillParsnip: It's funny - because this flash drive worked just fine the first time I plugged it in. This was before I wiped the drive and reinstalled the OS, though ... | 05:52 |
| Gasseus | stillParsnip I meant the ubuntu side of the API | 05:52 |
| stillParsnip | wsbl-uhpd651: what filesystem does it use? | 05:52 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | stillParsnip: I believe it is FAT ... that is what the fsck gave me when I tried running it as root ... | 05:53 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 based on your description, I'm inclined to think its an ExFAT drive, in which case, it must be opened and converted on a windows computer before use on linux | 05:53 |
| urlin2u | mfilipe, you can add and remove what you don't want generally in a distro, except when dependencies to it are needed. | 05:54 |
| stillParsnip | wsbl-uhpd651: ok. What steps do you take when you want to unplug the device? | 05:54 |
| wildbat | hmmm never used ExFAT. ubuntu don't support it right? | 05:55 |
| Gasseus | wildbat absolutely not | 05:55 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: OK. Two things. Before I reformatted my computer, I plugged it in and transferred pictures onto it in Ubuntu just fine (no problem). When I try plugging it into a Windows PC, it reads it as a CD drive ... | 05:55 |
| stillParsnip | wildbat: no idea | 05:55 |
| kennet | morning people, does anyone know of a html/php editor with desgin view such as dreamweaver for windows | 05:55 |
| Gasseus | wildbat any flash drive formatted on windows 7 by default will be formatted exfat | 05:55 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | stillParsnip: I have always used the "safely remove drive" option ... | 05:55 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 are you able to access the files? | 05:55 |
| mfilipe | urlin2u, I know, but sometime the ubuntu team change some applications to help users that I don't know and I use the old app | 05:56 |
| stillParsnip | kennet: bluefish maybe | 05:56 |
| stillParsnip | wsbl-uhpd651: good its important :-) | 05:56 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: No - neither on Ubuntu or Windows. Did you see the error message I currently get when I plug it into my Linux machine? | 05:56 |
| AsadR | jrib: ty | 05:56 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 no I didn't... mind linking it | 05:56 |
| Gasseus | to | 05:56 |
| kennet | stillParsnip, okay, i'll look into that thank you | 05:56 |
| stillParsnip | wsbl-uhpd651: are the files ok in windows? | 05:57 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: this is the error: "error mounting: mount: /dev/sbd1: can't read superblock" | 05:58 |
| wildbat | stillParsnip: no ~windows id the drive as CDdrive ~ U3? | 05:58 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 Can you read it from a windows computer | 05:58 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | stillParnsip: like I said, Windows reads the flash drive wrong when I plug it into that PC - it reads it as a CD drive. When go to open up the files it tells me "Please insert disk into the drive>' | 05:59 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: Windows reads the flash drive wrong when I plug it into that PC - it reads it as a CD drive. When go to open up the files it tells me "Please insert disk into the drive>" | 05:59 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 Ok, give me a second, I have a tool to try to fix that. | 05:59 |
| Gasseus | actually... | 05:59 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 do you have administrator access to a windows computer? | 05:59 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 the windows case is probably a case of messed drivers | 06:00 |
| Lostvoices | hey, i tried a new Blank DVD it still says blank dvd not enough space | 06:00 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: Unfortunately, the Windows PC I have access to - I am not an administrator on it. | 06:00 |

| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 Bad news first or good news? | 06:01 |
| Lostvoices | 164mb iso file | 06:01 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: Bad news first, I guess ... | 06:01 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 what type of files are they? | 06:01 |
| urlin2u | Lostvoices, is it a dvd-rw | 06:01 |
| JazzyYak | a | 06:01 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: They are pictures (JPGs). This sucks ... | 06:01 |
| Lostvoices | dvd+r | 06:01 |
| wildbat | Gasseus, wsbl-uhpd651: strangly fdisk can't read the drive . i am think the usb flash gone bad . | 06:01 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: That's all that's on there ... | 06:01 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 Ok give me an hour and I'll write a script to try and recover them | 06:01 |
| Gasseus | actually... | 06:02 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: Very strange. I don't understand how this flash drive could have gone bad. I just bought it !!! | 06:02 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: you have 16GB free in your hddrive? i would backup it frist. | 06:03 |
| urlin2u | Lostvoices, is that the only one you have, it is a write once. | 06:03 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 For now, do this as root: | 06:03 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | So like, if I went back to Best Buy and told them what the hell happened - would they do me right? | 06:03 |
| Gasseus | if you have 16 gb space on drive | 06:03 |
| Lostvoices | i have a reel of blank dvd+r they all say the same error | 06:03 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: K, I'm listening ... | 06:03 |
| noahbanks | May i ask an ultra noob question? | 06:03 |
| Gasseus | "dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/home/wsbl/usbbak.img" | 06:03 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: Best buy won't recover the data ~ for you | 06:04 |
| geoffs | #fai | 06:04 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 replace wsbl with your own username | 06:04 |
| FazzyPlax | Lostvoices: Is your disk drive a dvd-r only writer? | 06:04 |
| shivhack | hey guys | 06:04 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, go ahead | 06:04 |
| shivhack | i'm having issues with gnome-vfs | 06:04 |
| corinth | I want to try out KDE, but I want to be able to easily uninstall all of the KDE packages and bundled apps if I don't like it. What's the best way to do this? | 06:04 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: OK, so this is WITH the device plugged in? | 06:04 |
| Lostvoices | not its a multi recorded does both | 06:04 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 indeed | 06:04 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 so that if there is a chance of recovery, it will happen. | 06:04 |
| wildbat | Gasseus: block size? that can be slow with 512.... | 06:04 |
| Gasseus | wildbat better to do it safe... I've had issues with bigger bs | 06:05 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: run that "dd ..." command in terminal? | 06:05 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 yes, replace wsbl with your computers username for you | 06:05 |
| wildbat | Gasseus: really ~ what happened? | 06:05 |
| FazzyPlax | Lostvoices: The only thing I can recommend, try cleaning the drive itself and updating any drivers for it as well. | 06:05 |
| urlin2u | corinth, do you have a thumb drive? | 06:05 |
| Gasseus | wildbat: FSCK FSCK'ed it... | 06:06 |
| noahbanks | I stuck with a wireless card that isn't working. I'm trying to install drivers without an internet connection. I was directed earlier to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx for help. I'm installing b43. I am stuck on step one. Where can I find the pool folder? | 06:06 |
| corinth | urlin2u, Yep. | 06:06 |
| Gasseus | wildbat The FSCK program ran the FSCK program for FAT-32, which is inappropriate and will break ExFAT formatted partitions | 06:06 |
| Lostvoices | im going to try to partition my laptop and install ubuntu on there and see if i can get it on my lappy as this is an old computer maybe the drive is broken | 06:06 |
| Gasseus | wildbat he had the usb plugged in at boot and fsck fsck'ed | 06:06 |
| urlin2u | corinth, you mght just load it to a thumb with persistence and try it out, unetbootin, and the usb writer in ubuntu will give you a persistent setup. | 06:07 |
| wildbat | Gasseus: hmmm ~ good to know ^^ thanks for the info :> | 06:07 |
| shivhack | please ... anybody can help me with resources about gnome-vfs ?? | 06:07 |
| gry | Lostvoices: ok | 06:07 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, Wassup mate? | 06:07 |
| Gasseus | wildbat yes. Lesson of the day: Always format flash drives NTFS | 06:07 |
| gry | shivhack: Just Ask. | 06:07 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, are you installing from a CD ? | 06:08 |
| noahbanks | I am. | 06:08 |
| wildbat | Gasseus: always use linux ! XD | 06:08 |
| Gasseus | wildbat school | 06:08 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, then you should find the pool folder at the root of the installation CD | 06:08 |
| shivhack | YankDownUnder : I made a custom dekstop based on ubuntu lucid, using directly gnome-panel and nautilus | 06:08 |
| Gasseus | wildbat: I don't bring my laptop every day | 06:08 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, Right....and...? | 06:09 |
| shivhack | YankDownUnder : everything went fine, but special paths are not opened | 06:09 |
| noahbanks | gledihan: I've only started using Ubuntu today. How can I navigate to tha? | 06:09 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, Ok...now, when you say "special paths" -> are you meaning like the mount points for GVFS? | 06:09 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: K - it must be thinking about it - because I did what you said - and no error message yet. There are a lot of pictures on there, so maybe the backup will take a bit - if it is truly working at all? | 06:09 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: I've only started using Ubuntu today. How can I navigate to tha? | 06:09 |
| corinth | urlin2u, hm....that doesn't seem like the easiest way to me. | 06:09 |
| shivhack | it' gives 'Nautilus can' handle computer: location' | 06:09 |
| shivhack | the same for network:// | 06:09 |
| corinth | There isn't a way to remove packages installed by a meta-package? | 06:09 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, the simplest way is to use nautilus (the file browser) | 06:09 |
| FazzyPlax | I need some help with the Ubuntu Software Center. I tried downloading the program "Gnome Partion Editor", and I got an error in return. | 06:10 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 that is expected behavior. If you have any way of moving that file to a windows computer, I can guarantee recovery of like 95 % of the files. | 06:10 |
| gry | corinth: apt-get remove ? | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | corinth, okay. | 06:10 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, Ah...well, that sounds more like you'll have to muck around with gconf-editor and straighten out the URL's for network and the likes... | 06:10 |
| shivhack | YankDownUnder : how ?? | 06:10 |
| corinth | gry, If I apt-get remove a package like kubuntu-desktop, won't it only remove the dummy package? | 06:10 |
| Morgz | FazzyPlax - may not be what you're after, but I made a G-Parted CD from an ISO and I think it's indispensable. | 06:10 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: OK. Are you talking about the usbbak.img file? | 06:10 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 Exactly | 06:11 |
| anony22 | asl? | 06:11 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, What I'd do (if I were you) is to dig through the URL handlers in gconf-editor -> find what works and find the proper associations you're requiring. | 06:11 |
| shivhack | the main problem is the unavailibility of resources out there :-( | 06:11 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: the dd command will backup all the data from the usb then can use some software like ddrescue to retrieve all the jpeg if possible. | 06:11 |
| FazzyPlax | Morgz: I was trying to avoid CD burning in order to install GParted | 06:11 |
| glebihan | corinth, yes but running apt-get autoremove after removing the meta package should also remove all its dependencies | 06:11 |
| urlin2u | testdisk | 06:11 |
| shivhack | YankDownUnder : yathzee, never occured to me | 06:11 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, I'd be digging through the gnome forums - not Ubuntu forums...cuz this is specifically a Gnome2 issue my friend... | 06:11 |
| corinth | glebihan, oh, great idea. Thanks! | 06:11 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: How can I view the root from there? I don't see it on either the desktop or within the file browser? | 06:11 |
| shivhack | YankDownUnder : thanks a lot, you've been very helpfull ;-) | 06:12 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 you can watch the progress by opening the properties windows for the file in nautilus | 06:12 |
| YankDownUnder | shivhack, As well, you can get on the #gnome channels on the Gnome servers... | 06:12 |
| zabomber | anony22: asl? | 06:12 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, you don't see any disks in the left column in nautilus ? | 06:12 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: how do I do that specifically? | 06:12 |
| YankDownUnder | asl = age/sex/locale | 06:12 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 right click | 06:12 |
| noahbanks | nothing is mounted other than my hard drive. | 06:12 |
| urlin2u | glebihan, the only way to remove any desktop completely is to apt-get remove every package. | 06:13 |
| zabomber | i like poo | 06:13 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: nothing is mounted other than my hard drive. | 06:13 |
| Gasseus | zabomber this is not omegle | 06:13 |

| anony22 | bye | 06:13 |
| Gasseus | wsbl-uhpd651 like you would open up the file's properties in windows | 06:14 |
| gry | corinth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FromUbuntuToKubuntu | 06:14 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, do you see the disk if you run "df -h" from a terminal ? | 06:15 |
| FazzyPlax | My problem still isn't fixed yet with the Software Center bugging out on me for a GParted download. The error returned was: "SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package." | 06:15 |
| glebihan | urlin2u, true but most packages should be removed by running apt-get autoremove | 06:15 |
| corinth | Well well well, aren't you a handy little gnome, gry? :-) | 06:15 |
| gry | corinth: Enjoy! ;-) | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | glebihan, not true. | 06:15 |
| glebihan | urlin2u, as long as you don't install them manually, yes | 06:16 |
| urlin2u | glebihan, look at the link gry posted | 06:16 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: yes. the line says: /dev/hdc 694M 694M | 06:16 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | Gasseus: OK, it's working - because I see the file size increasing in the Properties window ... | 06:16 |
| Morgz | FazzyPlax - can u install it from command line : sudo apt-get update (enter) sudo apt-get install gparted (if gparted is the package name) | 06:16 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: it's mounted on "/cdrom" | 06:16 |

| DasEi | bullgard4: skip the first hint | 06:19 |
| glebihan | noahbanks, from nautilus, click "File system" in the left column, then should see the "cdrom" folder | 06:19 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: so it will automatically engage "ddrescue" after the file backup is complete ... because it seems to be working ... | 06:19 |
| noahbanks | glebihan: yes! success! | 06:19 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: right ??? | 06:20 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 06:22 |
| YankDownUnder | seclm193, Cairo-Dock (glx-dock) | 06:22 |
| YankDownUnder | ;) | 06:22 |

| seclm193 | is there a way to install openbox along side of gnome | 06:26 |
| glebihan | osmosis_, if you didn't already I think you have to install the virtualbox guest additions | 06:27 |
| === fish_sticks is now known as XS3 | ||
| osmosis_ | glebihan, there is a guest addition for ubuntu? | 06:28 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| osmosis_ | glebihan, i thought that was just if the guest was windows | 06:28 |

| CrOnOs2000 | hi any1 know how i change the speed of my mouse wheel on lucid im using a microsoft wireless 2000 | 06:30 |
| p0a | Hello I have two hard drives grub is on the first the second has an OS already, but I made free space and I want to install windows there. My question is: 1) How do I install windows there? (just boot the CD rom and the windows partitioner will let me select where to install?) and 2) After I install windows how do I tell GRUB to let me boot from it? | 06:31 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: will terminal tell me when the back up is finished? | 06:31 |
| damno | gnome-look.org is down?? | 06:31 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: then I have to run "ddrescue" manually? | 06:32 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: yes | 06:32 |
| glebihan | p0a, you should be able to select that space from the windows partitioner | 06:33 |
| p0a | Whoa I just discovered I run Grub2 and there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst hehe | 06:33 |
| wildbat | !recover | wsbl-uhpd651 | 06:33 |
| ubottu | wsbl-uhpd651: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 06:33 |
| p0a | glebihan, ah thanks for the tip. Question 2) remains if anyone knows, how to let grub know I installed Windows on another drive... | 06:33 |
| OmegaForte | !grub | p0a | 06:33 |
| ubottu | p0a: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 06:33 |
| glebihan | p0a, but installing windows will overwrite the MBR, and you'll have to rerun grub installation from a live CD | 06:34 |
| glebihan | p0a, the links OmegaForte just gave you will help you do that | 06:35 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: there are many tools you can use to recover the jpge | 06:35 |
| adzy | Hello all! | 06:35 |
| p0a | but that's impossible | 06:35 |
| OmegaForte | p0a, Nothing is impossible in Linux. | 06:36 |
| p0a | I have 2 hard drives, A and B, I have grub on A and I boot from A so any change on B wouldn't affect A I think | 06:36 |
| OmegaForte | p0a, I'm fairly confident AND with great certainty that linux can cure cancer, and end war. | 06:36 |
| p0a | also make chuck norris cry | 06:37 |
| p0a | :] | 06:37 |
| newbuntguy | even express how disapointed i am with natty | 06:37 |
| OmegaForte | !tab | p0a | 06:37 |
| ubottu | p0a: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 06:37 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, Well, Half of your problems are from Unity. | 06:37 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: photorec may be the easilest fo you ~ | 06:37 |
| newbuntguy | what a let down | 06:37 |
| adzy | does anyone know about where i can change the setting for what happens when i close my laptop screen to keyboard??? it seems to be crashing my system | 06:37 |
| p0a | Oh whatever I'll try it | 06:38 |
| newbuntguy | OMEGAFARTE: what is unity? | 06:38 |
| bullgard4_ | gry: I am using Oneiric. In Oneiric I cannot see a "System > About Gnome" dialog. | 06:38 |
| OmegaForte | adzy, This is why I don't use mobile technology. My portable system is an ITX box with one of those flip-DVD things, or I take my ipad. Mobile developers are pinheads who deivate from standards. | 06:38 |
| skilz | is there anyway to play mp3s though my pc speaker? | 06:39 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Can you turn lead into gold? | 06:39 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: Sure! | 06:39 |
| newbuntguy | WHEN WILL THE TEAM LEARN TO SAY ITS NOT RECOMENDED | 06:39 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, Ditch the caps, homie. | 06:39 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: ddrescue or photorec - which one is easier, then? And what the specific terminal commands that I use once this backup completes? | 06:40 |
| newbuntguy | OK HOMI | 06:40 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: I recall one of my old boxes done exactly that, played audio throught the pc speaker. So it must be possible to re-create this. | 06:40 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, The PC speaker is powered by a 4 bit analog, driverless system. You'd have to connect it to a device that can actually process sound. | 06:41 |
| adzy | OmegaForte, Yea its time for an upgrade this dell laptop is not cutting it! | 06:42 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: photorec it is more interactive . sudo photorec <the_img_file_that_dd_created> | 06:42 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: What if I set up the pc speaker as an output device for your sound subsystem, and then playback the MP3 files with any MP3 player software? | 06:42 |
| newbuntguy | OmegaForte:should i bounce unity or what? | 06:42 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, You missed the whole possibility of that being shot down. The PC speaker isn't powered by an encoder/decoder set. It's driverless. You cannot pass non serial data to it. | 06:43 |
| OmegaForte | adzy, And make it a new dell. Most of them work OTB with most debian distros. | 06:43 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: OK - pretty simple. "sudo [name of tool] [name of img fiile]" So it would be "sudo ddrescue usbbak.img" too, then - right? | 06:43 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, Unity was designed for Netbooks and stuff like ipads. Single screen, low powered devices. | 06:43 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: What does it do, then - like populate some directory with all the jpgs reference in the img file or something? | 06:43 |
| adzy | OmegaForte, Yea its lasted 3 years but i put a magnet on hdd accidentially and now its started to fail lol | 06:43 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: http://www.armadeus.com/wiki/index.php?title=PWM | 06:44 |
| newbuntguy | OmegaForte:and | 06:44 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: ddrescue work differently | 06:44 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, And your PC can't do that, idiot. | 06:44 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: OK - so that is what photorec does? | 06:44 |
| newbuntguy | OmegaForte:questin was should i get rid of it :and would it help | 06:44 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: it try to recover any file. | 06:45 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: Why not? | 06:45 |
| OmegaForte | adzy, A magnet won't hurt a hard drive. Proven. You probably caused a cap to offset and output bad power for a tick, and it just let a minor issue develop. | 06:45 |
| newbuntguy | OmegaForte:thhis is the worst os i have ever used | 06:46 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Because PC's don't have APF transistors. Learn electronics. | 06:46 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: "recover" mean it does what - actually ... to the file? | 06:46 |
| isbric | Morning!, coes anyone have a good software load balancer equalent of balance? we are upgrading to 10.04 and this makes for a great time to try somthing new. esp when the old configuration doesnt work with the new version of balance :P | 06:46 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: yes | 06:46 |
| newbuntguy | have to command line everything | 06:46 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: try to scan the whole image/device and extract the file out without the help of filesystem | 06:46 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, No, it's the worst UI you've used. Log out with the LOG OUT function in the bar, and click the dropbox where Unity is, set it to Ubuntu Classic. And CLI assists in Debugging. Get used to ti. | 06:46 |
| newbuntguy | what a piece of crap | 06:47 |
| especially-corn | can i erase the distro's memory of the usb ports? | 06:47 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Memory of the USB ports. What? | 06:47 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: I see. So it then tries extracting out the files to some default location? | 06:48 |
| newbuntguy | i do not see unity | 06:48 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: yes | 06:48 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, Look down at the bottom of the monitor. | 06:48 |
| especially-corn | i mean kind of like in windows, if you don't install the drivers correctly you get "unknown device" and every time you connect that thing you always get "unknown device" instead of getting a chance to reinstall the drivers | 06:48 |
| especially-corn | so you have to remove them completely and then try again | 06:48 |
| OmegaForte | newbuntguy, It's there. You're tstill wearing your stupid goggles. | 06:48 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: aka the image file you just created. | 06:48 |
| urlin2u | lol OmegaForte | 06:49 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Just unplug it. If the driver didn't load, or failed to load, replugging it will give it another go. However this won't fix a bad driver install, which you'll have to deal with manually. | 06:49 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: try googling for pwm audio driver linux | 06:49 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, For specific hardware. 100/100 your PC ain't got it. | 06:49 |
| adzy | how do i open multiple terminal windows>? | 06:50 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, it doesn't work anymore, yesterday i bought a keyboard with 2 hubs included, it worked flawlessly, that is, until i used the 2 hubs, now it doesn't work anymore | 06:50 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: right. Good deal. The file size is now at 8.5 GB. I can't remember how much data was on the thing - but it is definitely over halfway done ... | 06:50 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, That stuff is for things like PHONES that use PWM for tone generation, alerting and getting you to clam them hell up. | 06:50 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Does it work in another port or system? | 06:50 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, it works on another system | 06:50 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_speaker | 06:50 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: 8.5GB ? i think yours is 16GB drive. | 06:50 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: it should be 16GB file or your drive is truely faulty | 06:51 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: I believe I have proven you wrong! pwm converts analog (or, digital audio, a quasi-analog) signal into a serial stream of 0 and 1 | 06:51 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: right. which is why it is over halfway finished ... | 06:51 |
| kcj | How do I edit my keyboard layout (edit != change)? I want to swap my ctrl and alt keys so that using Emacs doesn't hurt. | 06:51 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Okay. Then you've probably generated a bus conflict. Something a DEVELOPED driver system like windows can handle. Linux'es drivers are written by people who want the driver...Hang on dude. | 06:51 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: you mean the dd isn't finished yet? | 06:51 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: no - it isn't ... | 06:52 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: OK~ | 06:52 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: there are a lot of pictures on there, so ... | 06:52 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, For DRIVER-RAN SYSTEMS. Your PC speaker isn't DRIVER RAN. It's RAW SERIAL. You would need a SERIAL INTERPRETER BETWEEN THAT DEVICE and THE DRIVER..Which your PC speaker DOESN'T HAVE. | 06:52 |
| * rww turns down OmegaForte's volume | 06:52 | |
| skilz | There is a kernel module named snd-pcsp.ko which may be of interest to you! | 06:52 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: doesn't matter ~ even it is a empty new drive , dd will give you 16GB file. | 06:52 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, yes, thats what i meant, i want my system to "forget" what this keyboard means because i suspect it still thinks my phone is somehow connected to the system, | 06:53 |
| especially-corn | through it | 06:53 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: Oh I see. That is kind of what I thought ... | 06:53 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Pc manufacturers stopped putting drivers in the bios frontend for the PC speaker four years ago. | 06:53 |
| jpds | rww: What do you think 'forte' means? | 06:53 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: This pc is around 9 years old! | 06:53 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Well, I don't know how to do that, but have you given the system a good power cycle? | 06:53 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: so all the picture files I had on there will be captured in this 16GB rollup, then? Is that the idea? | 06:53 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Then how are...WAit...I keep forgetting. Debian will run on a toaster.. | 06:53 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, yep, unplugged and stuff | 06:54 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Then take your old box and cram it. | 06:54 |
| === paijo_ is now known as bumblebee | ||
| skilz | :P | 06:54 |
| kcj | Is anyone even on-topic here? | 06:54 |
| bumblebee | hello | 06:54 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Well, plug it in and see what "dmesg | grep -i usb" outputs. | 06:54 |
| skilz | 16:54 < jmarsden> skilz: ask this guy what snd-pcsp.ko is, if it is not a pc speaker driver :) | 06:55 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: it is a 1:1 drive image. you can backup and restore a drive with dd. and from which , you can recover data too . if it is a working drive you can even mount the image file as if it is a drive. | 06:55 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, A speaker driver, and a sound driver are different. | 06:55 |
| corinth | Is there any option for exchange email in Ubuntu? | 06:55 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Just go to wikipedia and figure it out. | 06:56 |
| Carmen_Sandiego | sup, brobuntus? | 06:56 |
| jpds | corinth: Evolution? | 06:56 |
| OmegaForte | Carmen_Sandiego, Make them take off their stupid goggles...Please? | 06:56 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: we doing this ~ so should your USB really failling ~ you get a copy of the USB asap , minize the chance of data lost. | 06:56 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: snd-pcsp as in sound pc speaker :p | 06:56 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, http://paste.ubuntu.com/660941/ | 06:56 |
| corinth | jpds: Does Evolution support exchange email and calendaring? I didn't think that it did.... | 06:56 |
| isbric | anyone running balance on 10.04 or later? | 06:57 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, Is -:-:-.000E the keyboard that was plugged in; and now is not? | 06:57 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: if you don't back up ~ you can just run sudo photorec /dev/sdb :) | 06:57 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Go sit through an electronics engineering class for me homie...Just learn something...And stop harassing me. | 06:57 |
| kcj | How do I edit my keyboard layout (edit != change)? I want to swap my ctrl and alt keys so that using Emacs doesn't hurt. | 06:58 |
| rww | fail! | 06:58 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: Playing pwm audio through speaker, with signal generated by software, was very common at a time when sound cards weren't that common. | 06:58 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: backing up to harddrive make your data safe and harddrive work faster then USB thumb drive in datarecovery (photorec) | 06:58 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: You claim to be an electronics expert yet you use frankenbuntu? Shame on you! Shame...... | 06:59 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, don't know, i did a before and after unplugging | 06:59 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, everything i pasted was after i plugged it in | 06:59 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: yeah - good call. It's good we are doing both. I don't know - I think it the USB just got formatted wrong when initially plugged it - to backup my pictures before reformatting ... It is currently formatted as FAT. Is there a way to reformat it? What format is Ubuntu 11.04 in - or what format does this flash drive have to be formatted in for it to be successfully read by my Linux machine, I guess? | 06:59 |
| RedWar | Frakenbuntu? | 06:59 |
| RedWar | Whats that? | 06:59 |
| skilz | Ubuntu | 06:59 |
| RedWar | oh..ok lol Just never heard that term before | 07:00 |
| OmegaForte | rww...Can you save me from this pinhead? | 07:00 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, look http://paste.ubuntu.com/660943/ | 07:00 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat: Thanks for all your help, by the way. I have usually been successful in getting my problems solved on here - but not always. Sometimes failure has just been due to the nature of the problem, though ... | 07:00 |
| OmegaForte | especially-corn, It looks like it sees something.. | 07:01 |
| wildbat | wsbl-uhpd651: linux do read FAT16 and FAT32 ~ but not ExFAT . but FAT is outdated. use NTFS if you use windows with it or else just ext4 | 07:01 |
| paijo_ | i think fat can be read by linux flawlessly | 07:01 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Did you know fourty years ago we could generate 24 tones over a serial bus to a speaker...That was driven? | 07:01 |
| especially-corn | OmegaForte, yes, it does, but it doesn't work as it should | 07:01 |
| skilz | OmegaForte: Please don't get upset! You don't like to be proven wrong? | 07:02 |
| OmegaForte | skilz, Did you also know that computer components used to cost more than some cars? | 07:02 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | paijo_: I should think so, because my machine read it fine the first time I plugged it in. So I don't know what the deal is - sometimes Ubuntu is just kinda "squirrely" ... | 07:02 |

| YankDownUnder | ajay, Mate, I did one last week - one of my own, and I prefer doing a clean install - however, I did the 9.04 to 10.04 then to 10.10 and stopped there. I *could* have gone to 11.04, but in reality, the machine is old and I don't like 11.04's *lack* of things... | 07:22 |

| newbuntguy | first off i want to start my aplg by saying i rely aprcat this resource. and seconndly thanks for the push in the right direction .PROBLEM SOLVED | 07:24 |
| ajay | icekk_: it's got 2 GB left. one partition. all in / | 07:24 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Back it up, blow it out. | 07:24 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: oh i think i burned a CD too, don't remember where i put it.. :) I think I'd prefer a clean install too. That's what I'm going to do w/ my desktop.. | 07:25 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: what's 11 lacking? I've got an old notebook too, i'm only upgrading from 9 because it's not supported, and wifi never (really) worked anyway | 07:25 |
| rawfodog | in bash I hit ctrl z to stop a job. How do I continue it ? | 07:25 |
| ph8 | rawfodog, type fg or bg | 07:25 |
| ph8 | foreground or background | 07:25 |
| newbuntguy | my advice to people is to trust your intuition and listen to what people have to say. | 07:25 |
| ph8 | depending on what you want | 07:25 |
| rawfodog | thanks ph8 :D | 07:25 |
| ph8 | np | 07:26 |
| ajay | newbuntguy: dunno if that was random or directed, but listening to people (imho) can make it harder to hear/trust your intuition :) | 07:26 |
| newbuntguy | sometimes someone will say something that will make you think | 07:27 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, If yer hardware is "older", don't be fooled into thinking that the "newer" is going to be faster, or better...this is LINUX...whether or not it's supported doesn't really come into the issue...does it work? Can you get things to work that don't work? It's worth a thought. I've made the mistakes of upgrading older hardware only to find that things moved heaps slower...ergo, downgraded and dealt with it. | 07:27 |
| ajay | true that | 07:27 |
| rainbone | hello\ | 07:28 |
| newbuntguy | even when it isnt exactly what you are looking for intuition trust it | 07:28 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Upgrade to 10.04. It's an LTS version, you're good till 2013. | 07:28 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: i hope it's faster, of course, but yeah i know that's not the trend :) the wifi is really the kicker.. | 07:28 |
| newbuntguy | that doesnt make any sence like that but i know what i mean | 07:28 |

| ajay | on my main system I want to stay current though.. damn 10.04 runs like sh* on there right now though.. alas.. | 07:32 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, If 10.04 runs slowly, have you thought about tweaking it to make it more optimised? | 07:32 |
| rabbit1 | unable to connect to internet through huawei 3g e-stick on ubuntu 10.04, please help | 07:33 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Cars are not "tuned for performace" when you buy them off the lot. You have to tweak and tune them to YOUR specs...ditto with your OS... | 07:33 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: it just feels easier to blow it out, it's way annoying.. too often X just locks up the whole system. (mouse moves, but i can't do anything else). gross | 07:34 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: what is 11 missing for you? | 07:34 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Well, blowing it out and starting again with 10.04 or 10.10 is a good thing...however, think about things through and through... | 07:34 |
| newbuntguy | virtualbox up and running | 07:35 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: I like staying current, so i'll do 11, most likely. i don't know what you're saying | 07:35 |
| newbuntguy | no errors | 07:35 |
| nickSwe | where do I find my fstab file in ubuntu for automatically mounting drives upon logon? | 07:35 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, And 11.04 is missing the "friendliness" of window managers and choice...albeit, if you're happy to move into an alien territory with Unity and lack of features you may have been happy with in 10.04...well, your choice... | 07:35 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: there's no compiz? | 07:35 |
| iceroot | ajay: of course there is compiz | 07:36 |
| urlin2u | nickSwe, sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 07:36 |

| iceroot | nickSwe: /etc/fstab | 07:36 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | wsbl-uhpd651: NTFS if you use it with windowa | 07:36 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Oh yeah, there's compiz...however, there are heaps of issues with Unity that you may NOT dig... | 07:36 |

| ajay | i don't really know what unity is.. (I keep thinking it's that weird netbook interface?) | 07:36 |
| iceroot | ajay: what is the reason you want to update? | 07:36 |
| _ramo | Hi | 07:36 |
| iceroot | ajay: yes, its the netbook interface | 07:36 |
| newbuntguy | file sharing up and running | 07:37 |
| newbuntguy | everything is copsetic | 07:37 |
| ajay | icekk_: notebook - to get wifi working. desktop - want to be current, and current incarnation works pretty crappily. | 07:37 |
| YankDownUnder | I'll leave my opinions at what I've already stated... | 07:37 |
| ajay | eww, i don't care for that netbook interface, it's true. I can't keep the current setup? | 07:37 |
| _ramo | i would like to log in to my vsftpd with my root account. somehow i can't get it run. i've edited the vsftdp.conf file and added userlist_deny=YES to it, edited the ftpusers file and commented the root entry out... restartet the ftp server, but still no luck | 07:37 |
| _ramo | can anyone help here? | 07:37 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, One way of looking at the entire situation - from an educational perspective - is that if your linux install is crawling, something is wrong. Find what is wrong and fix it. You've educated yourself in the process. | 07:38 |
| newbuntguy | ramo i would help you but i type way to slow | 07:38 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: looks like there's plenty of links online about not using unity, so what's the issue? i don't get it | 07:39 |
| _ramo | newbuntguy: this is nor argument :) | 07:39 |
| newbuntguy | just admiring my handywork my system OK | 07:40 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Unity - AND Gnome3 - have taken a drastic turn to making your DESKTOP into your NETBOOK or PHONE...therefore, alot of functionality has been lost - just due to "corporate" decision...Unity is still a child, and has many years to mature...think on that. | 07:40 |
| iceroot | ajay: in 11.04 you can use gnome2 as you are using at the moment | 07:40 |
| iceroot | !classic | ajay | 07:41 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: please explain or show examples | 07:41 |
| ubottu | ajay: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 07:41 |
| theadmin | ajay, if you like Gnome2 I suggest you to consider Xfce. Ubuntu's getting rid of Gnome2 very soon. | 07:41 |
| newbuntguy | this room helped me in the sence that it pointed me in the right direction. PROPS | 07:41 |
| ajay | oh, but GNOME 3 is "made of easy" | 07:41 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: what does that command wipe, specifically - everything off your flash drive? | 07:41 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, If you want a real explanation from an "oldie", take it to PM and I'll be more than happy to explain... | 07:41 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: I don't want to hear 10 mins of explanation.. | 07:42 |
| FazzyPlax | I need some help badly with GParted... | 07:42 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | wsbl-uhpd651: yes | 07:42 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Simple answer: You're going to have to completely "re-learn" the interface and functions. | 07:42 |
| newbuntguy | waiting for my kvm switch | 07:42 |
| ajay | so you're saying i'll have to install gnome2 in addition on 11? sounds like a bit of extra space.. hrmm.. interesting that this divide is forming.. | 07:43 |
| xeology | hi guys, i just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 on a vps (met some resistance" and now openssh doesnt work. service ssh yields ssh stop/waiting. Any ideas? | 07:43 |
| theadmin | ajay: No, 11.04 still does have Gnome2 by default, you just have to switch to it | 07:44 |
| urlin2u | ajay, the classic desktopi s already there natty is the last release with it though | 07:44 |
| theadmin | ajay: 11.10 won't, and it won't be in the repos either I suppose. | 07:44 |
| ajay | ok, so i don't see why Yank won't upgrade to 11 then.. | 07:44 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Gnome2 is the "classic desktop" on 11.04 => so you'll have to remove the scrollbar overlay and Unity in order to "create" a proper Gnome2 desktop...however, that being said, there are some issues you'll end up running across because the Ubuntu folks have decided FOR YOU that Unity is best...ahem... | 07:44 |
| FazzyPlax | I was trying to use GParted earlier, but when I was trying to adjust my windows partition size in order to make more room for my Ubuntu one, I found out that my hard drive supposedly has only one partition on it. | 07:44 |
| ajay | YankDownUnder: maybe it's time for a new distro for ya then? | 07:45 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, As I've stated, 11.04 ain't all that great on older machines - new and fast and "cutting edge" as it sounds - we're talking about older hardware...mmmm... | 07:45 |
| gac | FazzyPlax: that's normal behaviour? :) | 07:45 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: OK - it's telling me that the "photorec" command is not found. Do I have to install this first? I entered "sudo photorec /home/[my username]/[name of img file] | 07:45 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, I try, experiment and use nearly all of them...I'm in biz...I'm not a hobbyist... | 07:45 |
| newbuntguy | not spam but:http://www.geeks.com/search.asp?query=kvm&FIELD=ALL | 07:45 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: ... the pathname to the img file, I should say - off the end ... | 07:45 |
| FazzyPlax | gac: if that's the case, then how am I supposed to increase my Ubuntu partition size? | 07:46 |
| gac | oh, I see, you've already installed it? | 07:46 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | wsbl-uhpd651: yes, sudo apt-get install photorec | 07:46 |
| gac | I thought you meant reduce windows to make room for a ubuntu installation, y mistake | 07:46 |
| gry | bullgard4_: I suspect you may want #ubuntu+1; the command I gave gives different version that `apt-cache show gnome` and they might be able to confirm which menu item concurs with one of these two commands. | 07:46 |
| gac | well it's either installed on another drive, or you've installed with Wubi | 07:46 |
| gry | bullgard4_: s/that/than/ | 07:47 |
| FazzyPlax | gac: Oh, np. I don't understand what's happening, though. I'm on Ubuntu now, but I was on my Windows environment less than 15 minutes ago. | 07:47 |
| xeology | anyone how to fix service ssh status yielding "ssh stop/waiting"? | 07:47 |
| gry | xeology: Where do you this status? | 07:47 |
| newbuntguy | funny thing is amazon has the same one for 8 dollars less .oh well | 07:47 |
| urlin2u | FazzyPlax, did you install ubuntu from a live windows session? | 07:47 |
| FazzyPlax | gac: I don't believe I installed with Wubi. It was an offline installation. | 07:48 |
| Herakles | Hi there...., how to i access the Ubuntu-DVD to install Software, i am not able to do so...., The Softwaresource is not recognize, although i enabled Natty-DVD as Softwaresource in the Menu of the Softwarecenter.... | 07:48 |
| FazzyPlax | urlin2u: I was in a Windows environment for most of the installation, but needed to reboot to finish it. | 07:48 |
| newbuntguy | after tax and shipping ofcors | 07:48 |
| ajay | you can't resize windows in gnome3? woa.. | 07:48 |

| newbuntguy | yesir | 07:49 |
| urlin2u | FazzyPlax, that sounds like a wubi a booted live or alternate cd is a dual boot. | 07:49 |
| gac | FazzyPlax: being in Windows for most of the insallation before a final reboot sounds like Wubi to me... | 07:49 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | wsbl-uhpd651: yes, sudo apt-get install testdisk | 07:49 |
| ajay | ooo the workspaces in gnome3 looks hot | 07:49 |
| xeology | i did it in terminal using the vps's serial console | 07:49 |
| ajay | can i get a gnome2.5 in ubuntu11.1 please? thx :) | 07:49 |
| FazzyPlax | Okay... so what do I do then? Uninstall and boot from a live CD? | 07:50 |
| urlin2u | FazzyPlax, you can move the wubi to a regular partition if needed. | 07:50 |
| Herakles | please feel free to send a message... | 07:50 |
| gac | FazzyPlax: I think if you uninstall, you'll lose your data. you should look for a migration process of some sort | 07:50 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: what did that just do - update everything that I needed? | 07:50 |
| FazzyPlax | urlin2u: How so? | 07:50 |
| xeology | nvm found a work around ty thugh guys | 07:50 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: by the way, that command just ran successfully ... | 07:50 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | wsbl-uhpd651: you should have photorec now | 07:51 |
| urlin2u | FazzyPlax, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354 | 07:51 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: OK, I'm trying it again ... | 07:51 |
| ajay | so is this gnome3 change driving people away from ubuntu? If so, i can't imagine where they'd go? (KDE & GNOME are everywhere no?) | 07:52 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: OK, running photorec now. It is asking me to select the partition table type. What do I choose? | 07:53 |
| theadmin | ajay: I tell you, Xfce is almost a Gnome2 clone | 07:53 |
| urlin2u | ajay, does your gnome3 have a panel on the right top to bottom of the screen? | 07:54 |
| kcj | How do I edit my keyboard layout (edit != change)? I want to swap my ctrl and alt keys so that using Emacs doesn't hurt. | 07:54 |

| FazzyPlax | urlin2u: Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. | 07:55 |
| FazzyPlax | gac: Thank you for the help! | 07:55 |
| urlin2u | ajay, I couldn't tell if you were calling unity gnome3 | 07:55 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: OK. No which partition no. do I choose? Sorry - I've never used this program before ... | 07:55 |
| YankDownUnder | ajay, Mate, Gnome3 and Unity are the "same visually and in usefullness" - the same ergonomic thinking - the "corporates" are trying to "turn your desktop into a simple phone" - aka iPhone and HTC/Android...THAT is the interface they're pushing...however, for those of us that USE our desktops/netbooks and the likes, we don't appreciate the "force it down their throats" approach...and it's not driving folks away (well, Unity i | 07:55 |
| YankDownUnder | s) but it's making folks think about their desktop environment instead of making folks feel GOOD bout using a linux distro...get it? | 07:55 |
| ajay | urlin2u: i think that's what people are saying.. | 07:55 |

| ajay | theadmin: for the issues you raised, i agree, i don't think i'll care for it. the workspaces and type to search for apps is all i liked, and i'd like a window manager with those features, and more. | 08:00 |

| ajay | theadmin: nice, will check it. Now just need a better workspace manager... seems like if something can integrate well w/ compiz it'd be pretty sweet | 08:03 |
| wsbl-uhpd651 | wildbat_semi_afk: it's asking me about the file system type. I need to choose the one that includes FAT, right? | 08:03 |

| elky | Everything's disappeared off my unity panel, like it's all scrolled off or something. Only I don't seem to scroll it back into view. How can I get the icons back? :-/ | 08:03 |
| ajay | theadmin: but can you seriously NOT resize windows?? that's too _crazy_ for me to believe! | 08:03 |
| iceroot | benjick: i guess that is not a upload-issue. the issue is that the file on windows is bad already | 08:04 |
| iceroot | benjick: scp is not changing any encoding | 08:04 |
| theadmin | ajay: You can resize, but to get the maximize button you have to dig with dconf a little :D | 08:04 |
| benjick | iceroot: So what should i do? | 08:04 |

| dbolser | What does this mean "If you install Xubuntu-desktop, future updates will not include new items in The Ubuntu desktop system set. Are you sure you want to continue?" | 09:25 |
| gry | dbolser: This means you will get xubuntu updates instead of ubuntu ones. | 09:27 |
| dbolser | gry: ic, there are only two packages listed there (one of them being ubuntu meta) | 09:27 |
| dbolser | sorry, ubuntu-desktop meat | 09:28 |
| dbolser | meat | 09:28 |
| dbolser | dam... meta | 09:28 |
| dbolser | this looks scary, but ... gnome is driving me crazy these days http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 09:28 |
| gry | dbolser: This is a meta-package which includes a number of other packages - by accepting this notice, you agree to follow xubuntu updates instead of ubuntu ones. | 09:29 |
| dbolser | gry: cool, ty | 09:29 |
| gry | yvw | 09:29 |
| dbolser | if I un-install xfce later, will those updates come back? | 09:30 |
| ioriveur | dbolser, yes, gnome takes everyone mad. | 09:31 |
| anli_ | Seems that my mouse down state is not reliable, when I paint in gimp using the mouse, I get this result: http://darkbox.dyndns.org:8888/screenshot_006.png | 09:31 |
| anli_ | Its two strokes instead of one | 09:31 |
| anli_ | I held down the mouse all the time | 09:31 |
| * dbolser dives into xubuntu | 09:32 | |
| Fuchs | anli_: look what xev means | 09:32 |
| anli_ | Its like that since I started to use sudo metacity --replace to get rid of compiz | 09:32 |
| anli_ | ok | 09:32 |
| ioriveur | I uses awesome as main wm. | 09:32 |
| Fuchs | what the ... | 09:32 |
| Fuchs | anli_: do _not_ run a window manager with sudo | 09:32 |
| ioriveur | awesome is awesome, ja. | 09:33 |
| Fuchs | anli_: this is plain nonsence and it might break things such as the access rights to .Xauthority | 09:33 |
| anli_ | Fuchs: If I dont use sudo, all that is happening is that I damage window titles and I have to restart the computer | 09:33 |
| Fuchs | anli_: then your system is already rather broken | 09:34 |
| anli_ | But if I use sudo, I can work with the computer | 09:34 |
| Fuchs | and no, you don't have to restart, in the worst case you can still CTRL+ALT+F1, login, DISPLAY=:0 whateverwm --replace & disown CTRL+ALT+F7 | 09:34 |
| anli_ | I cannot change the apperance of windows however | 09:34 |
| Fuchs | anli_: of course not, since it takes the settings of the root user | 09:34 |
| anli_ | I have only done metacity --replace in an xterm (trying without sudo) | 09:35 |
| Fuchs | anli_: try fix the other problem first, by changing the wm-theme as an example. As your regular user, not with sudo. | 09:35 |
| anli_ | My original problem is that I cannot use compiz together with blender actually | 09:35 |
| anli_ | It locks up the graphics after a while so I have to reboot | 09:35 |
| Fuchs | then don't, switch to metacity while using it, and if not already existing, submit a bug report at launchpad | 09:35 |
| Fuchs | this sounds strange, what graphics card with which driver are you using? | 09:36 |
| anli_ | nvidia 8600 GT | 09:36 |
| Fuchs | and the proprietary driver. What version? | 09:36 |
| anli_ | hm, must check | 09:36 |
| anli_ | I have to use synaptic then, I suppose | 09:36 |
| Fuchs | no | 09:36 |
| Fuchs | cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version | 09:36 |
| anli_ | aha | 09:36 |
| Fuchs | if more than three lines, don't paste it here | 09:37 |
| Fuchs | I am only interested in the version number | 09:37 |
| anli_ | NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 270.41.06 Mon Apr 18 14:54:25 PDT 2011 | 09:37 |
| Fuchs | old, that might still have the bug in it which is similar to what you are describing | 09:37 |
| Fuchs | could you try fetching a newer driver via a ppa (do _not_ download an install the .run file from nvidia) | 09:37 |
| Fuchs | 280.13 should be available | 09:38 |
| anli_ | So why do I get that driver when I am running the newest version of ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| ioriveur | how about nouveu driver | 09:38 |
| Fuchs | anli_: due to the update policy of ubuntu, which is not a bad thing, usually | 09:38 |
| NoNick | anyone else have an invitation to google +? | 09:38 |
| anli_ | But now its more than bad | 09:38 |
| gry | !ot > NoNick | 09:39 |
| ubottu | NoNick, please see my private message | 09:39 |
| Fuchs | anli_: if the problem still persists, please create a nvidia bug report (sudo nvidia-bug-report.sh), unzip it and put the contents (plain text file) in a pastebin service | 09:39 |
| ioriveur | NoNick, I have. | 09:39 |
| gry | NoNick, ioriveur - there is ##googleplus if you're interested | 09:39 |
| anli_ | I cant submit bug reports here and where, I have a job to do | 09:39 |
| Fuchs | anli_: no, it might not be a driver problem, this is just a guess for now, but probably a good one | 09:39 |
| Fuchs | anli_: well, pity, then I can't help you, since I as well have a job to do and not time for more guesses | 09:39 |
| ioriveur | Well, Im in already, thanks. | 09:39 |
| ioriveur | Well, Im in already, thanks. gry | 09:40 |
| anli_ | I dont like guesses eitehr | 09:40 |
| anli_ | either | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | anli_: creating a bug reports takes ~ 2 minutes, I guess you should have this time | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | anli_: so: try the new driver, if it works: good. If it doesn't: create a bug report. | 09:40 |
| anli_ | A bug report then that synaptic is an application that can give me software that is so buggy that I consider switching operating system? ;) | 09:40 |
| anli_ | ok | 09:40 |
| Fuchs | anli_: but due to the fact that you have to run a window manager as root to have a working system, I suspect that there might be already something broken on your system. | 09:41 |
| gry | ioriveur: You're welcome! | 09:41 |
| anli_ | Its a newly installed system | 09:41 |
| ioriveur | Yeah, gry! | 09:41 |
| Omega | :| I got kicked for no reason. | 09:42 |
| ioriveur | reportbug in ubuntu is same as in debian? It is spam of asking.... I was tired | 09:42 |
| gry | ioriveur: No, ubuntu's bug tracker is separate. | 09:44 |
| Herakles | Help! | 09:44 |
| gry | Herakles: ? | 09:44 |
| ioriveur | My 9600GT nVidia card is well driven by nouveu in debian, what happened to his system. | 09:44 |
| ioriveur | ? | 09:44 |
| ioriveur | gry: Wow, great | 09:45 |

| gry | Hello there. | 09:46 |
| brubelsabs | I need a one-time ftp server, easy to configure. looked already at vsftpd, and proftp both not easy to configure. Any suggestions. Its just for transferring files from time to time from our scanner (so I can't use any other protocol, I need ftp.) | 09:46 |
| gluesniffmonkey | What is the best way to have 3g internet with ubuntu 10.04 and bluetooth with nokia e63? | 09:46 |
| Herakles | Hi....... | 09:46 |
| Herakles | gry; | 09:47 |
| === MrsB_ is now known as MrsB | ||
| ioriveur | brubelsabs: I remember threre were ftp 2flps linux system. | 09:48 |
| gry | Herakles: Good morning! | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | brubelsabs: vsftpd IS easy to configure, just check the default-config options | 09:49 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest93848 | ||
| hackerqi | try pureftpd | 09:50 |
| brubelsabs | llutz_: ah come on: I tried it, set the local_users option, but still not working.., searched on goole but no one seems to have the same problem.. | 09:50 |
| brubelsabs | ioriveur: 2flps, what that mean? | 09:51 |

| Herakles | gry ???? | 09:51 |
| bryantos | brubelsabs: Have you tried installing filezilla from repos? | 09:51 |
| gry | Herakles: Is there something we can help you with? | 09:51 |
| anli_ | Can the tendency of interrupted mouse presses be an effect of running metacity --replace as root | 09:51 |
| gry | anli_: Hardly. | 09:51 |
| bryantos | brubelsabs: Used it without issue when I owned my domain | 09:52 |
| brubelsabs | bryantos: filezilla?, whats that? | 09:52 |
| gry | anli_: But, if you have to do that frequently, it's a sign of some things going wrong. | 09:52 |
| bryantos | brubelsabs: FTP client | 09:52 |
| ioriveur | brubelsabs: pureftpd and vsftpd is easy, but..... 2ftps means 2 floppies, but actually, only one. | 09:52 |
| gry | brubelsabs: An FTP client - see addons.mozilla.org, search for it there | 09:52 |
| Herakles | Hi gry, would you be so kind to help me a bit...., I am having a small problem installing Software from Ubuntu 11.04 DVD although i enabled the Sources in the Softwarecenter | 09:52 |
| llutz_ | brubelsabs: local_enable = yes, write_enable = yes, chroot_local_user = no and disable all "anon" related things. "man vsftpd.conf" for more help | 09:52 |
| anli_ | Maybe the mouse itself is broken | 09:52 |
| gry | Herakles: What happens when you try to install software? | 09:52 |
| ioriveur | brubelsabs: http://www.orange.co.jp/~masaki/1fd/ftp/ it is written in Japanese.... but You'll get same stuff in your language if you google it | 09:53 |
| brubelsabs | llutz_: Sorry to say that again. I've exactly tried this! I did not work! | 09:53 |
| Herakles | I get an error message telling me the Softwarecenter isn´t able to "Fetch" Software from DVD.... | 09:53 |
| Herakles | I get an error message telling me the Softwarecenter isn´t able to "Fetch" Software from DVD.... gry | 09:53 |
| brubelsabs | hackerqi: pureftp seems not to be in the repos | 09:54 |
| gry | Herakles: Why are you trying to install it from DVD rather than the online repositories? | 09:54 |
| Herakles | I am an offline FREAK.... | 09:54 |
| Herakles | i like to be offline.... | 09:54 |
| ioriveur | anli_, congrat, because you got a bug. buy one! | 09:54 |
| brubelsabs | bryantos: I search an ftp SERVER, and filezillas only offering one for windows I guess.. | 09:55 |
| gry | Herakles: Did you add the DVD to the software center as a local repo? | 09:55 |
| Herakles | Yes, gry... | 09:55 |
| gry | How? | 09:55 |
| ioriveur | i hate dvd, optical disk drive is easy to dead...... | 09:55 |
| anli_ | aha, I was trying the same mouse now in vista, its actually the mouse that fails | 09:55 |
| Herakles | using "Menu, Softwarereposit..., klicking last box to install from DVD | 09:56 |
| Herakles | gry | 09:56 |
| anli_ | So I can stop blaiming linux or nvidia | 09:56 |
| brubelsabs | llutz_: probably its because some LDAP pam modules here.. since vsftpd has a pam module/service name to configure. | 09:56 |
| gry | Herakles: Did you untick the default repos? | 09:56 |
| ioriveur | vista? Smashed it saying "hasta la vista, vista" | 09:56 |
| Herakles | yes, i did before... | 09:57 |
| ioriveur | good, anli_ ; ) | 09:57 |
| Herakles | yes, i did before..., gry | 09:57 |
| brubelsabs | hackerqi: sorry I over looked it, the package is named pure-ftpd | 09:57 |
| gry | Herakles: Can you go to Terminal and type these two lines: "sudo apt-get update", "sudo apt-get upgrade" - and pastebin the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ? | 09:58 |

| gry | Herakles: Are you trying to re-install, or to upgrade software? | 10:00 |
| Herakles | nooo | 10:00 |
| brubelsabs | pure-ftp rocks, thank all of you. So if I want to transfer files, I just install pure-ftp copy them over and then deinstall again. Not mouch configuration, very easy and secure. | 10:00 |
| Herakles | no gry, i do not try to reinstall or upgrade anything.... | 10:01 |

| * Nuit Bom dia :) | 10:01 | |
| Herakles | I want to install a Software from DVD; but i don´t know which software is coming with Ubuntu by default..... | 10:02 |
| Herakles | gry | 10:02 |
| Arz | guys, need help. | 10:02 |
| gry | Herakles: Why do you want to install software from DVD? | 10:02 |
| gry | Arz: We can't help you (unless we see your question) :-) | 10:03 |
| Herakles | because my Internetconnection is very slow.... | 10:03 |
| Herakles | gry | 10:03 |
| ioriveur | what make Herakles do such a thing? target is same machine, isn't it? | 10:03 |
| gry | Herakles: What makes you think that the dvd contents may be used as a "repository"? | 10:03 |
| Herakles | ??? | 10:04 |
| Herakles | What is this now.... am i getting help ? | 10:04 |
| Herakles | or what ? | 10:04 |
| Arz | have been trying to install ubuntu 64bit and when i restart to complete the installation, i select ubuntu in the boot option, it says completing installation and all, then the ubuntu load screen comes up but then a corrupted screen shows up and my keyboard is disconnected somehow and i cant do anything, tell me if you want to see how the screen looks like. | 10:04 |
| gry | Herakles: I'm still trying to understand how you're trying to use the dvd. | 10:04 |
| ioriveur | Herakles:ah, I get. You want to install "software", not OS, right? | 10:05 |
| Herakles | I want to install any Software from DVD, like say Xchat....gry | 10:05 |
| gry | Herakles: the "dvd" option in software center is used to install software from a source which is a "repository"; if the dvd is not one, then it won't work. If the dvd is an 11.04 installation dvd, then it can't be a repository - the only way to use it is to boot into it and install (with a prior backup) | 10:06 |
| iceroot | Herakles: why you want that? | 10:06 |
| iceroot | Herakles: instead of using the repos | 10:06 |
| iceroot | Herakles: its ALWAYS the best idea to use the software from the repos instead of old software from dvd (with security-issues) | 10:06 |
| Herakles | gry, i bought the DVD with a easyLinux-magazine and it tells me that it can be used..... | 10:06 |
| ProstheticS | hey guys, im more or less wondering a little about the basics of disk access in linux/ubuntu here but: if i write a cron job, that is going to do an ls on 3 directories, and possibly write that to a file, is this going to prevernt my harddrives from going to sleep, or is there some form of disk cacheing that will save me from the above? | 10:06 |
| Arz | ? | 10:06 |
| gry | Herakles: Could you follow the instructions, then, and tell us what they were, and what errors you got, please? | 10:07 |
| iceroot | Herakles: of course the normal install cd can be used as a repo | 10:07 |
| iceroot | Herakles: but as i said its not a good idea to use old software from dvds | 10:07 |
| ioriveur | Arz, your console is blacked out and nothing to get? | 10:07 |
| iceroot | ProstheticS: that will wake up the disks | 10:08 |
| iceroot | ProstheticS: you cant cache the whole files | 10:08 |
| Arz | ioriveur : no, some weird .. oh god wait ill show you | 10:08 |
| ProstheticS | oh bummer, so my disks would basically never go to sleep if i set that ? | 10:08 |
| Herakles | gry, I start the Softwarecenter.... | 10:08 |
| iceroot | ProstheticS: yes | 10:08 |
| sebalec | hi people | 10:08 |
| sebalec | can someone help me ? | 10:08 |
| Herakles | gry, I go to the Menu of the Softwarecenter.... | 10:08 |
| iceroot | !ask | sebalec | 10:08 |
| ubottu | sebalec: 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. :-) | 10:08 |
| Herakles | gry, I select Softwaresources..... | 10:09 |
| ProstheticS | is there a nice way to 'check' the output of ls? | 10:09 |
| sebalec | where can i buy a kubuntu cd ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | ProstheticS: check ? | 10:09 |
| iceroot | ProstheticS: what do you want exactly? | 10:09 |
| sebalec | !ask where can i buy a kubuntu cd ? | 10:09 |
| ubottu | sebalec: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:09 |
| iceroot | ProstheticS: working with ls is always a bad idea | 10:09 |
| Herakles | gry, I give my password, as i beeing asked... | 10:09 |
| iceroot | !shipit | sebalec | 10:09 |
| ubottu | sebalec: Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program. For more information please see http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 !LoCo teams can request CDs through this link https://forms.canonical.com/lococd/ | 10:09 |
| gry | Herakles: Could you please try to give information on one line, and not address me in particular unless I state that I am 100% knowledgeable on this topic? Thank you | 10:10 |
| iceroot | sebalec: ubuntu.com should have a shop for them but not free (as in free beer) | 10:10 |
| sebalec | yes i know about canonical, i already bought a CD of ubuntu | 10:10 |
| sebalec | but i can't find any of kubuntu | 10:10 |

| Auriga | Q: If installing more than one Linux based OS, do I need more than one swap area, id est, set up one swap area per install? Or all OS's will use the same Swap? | 10:38 |
| Arz | ioriveur : no | 10:39 |
| _ramo1 | iceroot: currently i need it just one way.... i would liek to write some emails to me locally.... | 10:39 |
| Punna | micols: powertop | 10:39 |
| ioriveur | Well, Arz, how many old your system is? | 10:39 |
| szal | Auriga: as you won't be running more than one installation at a time, one swap partition will suffice | 10:40 |
| Auriga | szal, Right so they do all use the same swap. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be low on resources because of an oversight as small as that. | 10:41 |
| jrib | Auriga: the only reason I can imagine for wanting multiple swap partitions is if you want to swap-to-disk several distros at once | 10:41 |
| [HzF]Rocker | Hey, can someone help me with a WIFI problem? | 10:42 |
| Punna | micols: any ideas? | 10:42 |
| Arz | ioriveur : not a problem with the system im damn sure cuz it worked before but i removed it and now it isnt working! i have windows 7 64bit and 32bit and also windows vista 32bit installed, so the system is rocking fast. | 10:42 |
| jrib | [HzF]Rocker: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 10:42 |
| Auriga | jrib, How do you mean swap-to-disk? You mean switch to a live cd & configure a swap area? | 10:42 |
| * szal has 3 swap partitions and all activated, but this just as a precaution if one or more disks fail | 10:42 | |
| jrib | Auriga: no, like "hibernate" in windows | 10:42 |
| jrib | Auriga: I meant "suspend-to-disk", not "swap-to-disk", sorry | 10:43 |
| [HzF]Rocker | Connect button is greyed out, before that, the pc tried to connect with wrong settings, but the password was correct - now it can't even attempt to connect | 10:43 |
| [HzF]Rocker | What to do? :'( | 10:43 |
| Auriga | jrib, Ahhh okay, but how would that help? To have multiple swaps for that? You mean you would configure each swap to an OS, then that OS uses it's allocated swap area in suspend...? That sounds really convoluted lol. | 10:44 |

| ZenMaster | Morgz: Yes. :) | 10:52 |
| harry_ | strage issues dude | 10:52 |

| Arz | ioriveur : last time can you please tell me what exactly do i need to do? | 10:52 |
| ZenMaster | Morgz: I can get Jack to detect my firepod, it is just unstable. I can't close it it just crashes, pretty much for every option if it does not work, I end up having to restart the machine. | 10:52 |
| adewisman1 | Need a good office suite anyone can recommend?, I need the suite to be lightweight but has all the necessary function to run calculation (excel 2007 supported ), preferable not a java based platform, thanks | 10:53 |

| MarcelT3 | some fellas with experience in running ubuntu server as host for many virtual servers in here? | 10:54 |
| jrib | MarcelT3: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 10:54 |
| Morgz | Zenmaster- at first glance firepod looks like old propriety hardware. are there supported drivers? | 10:54 |
| harry_ | <maalac>:why dont you check the proper connection is there or not may be the bettry input and the your netplueg may gets conflig over somewhere...?? | 10:54 |
| ZenMaster | This FirePod FP10 is on the preffered hardware list for Ubuntu Studio. The driver to be used is Ffado or something like that. Used to be (freebob). | 10:54 |
| MarcelT3 | kk :) can you recommend a resource/tutorial on how to layout a host for later virtualized web servers? | 10:55 |
| Morgz | ZenMaster - sorry, I gotta tap out. Way out of my league, plenty of other folk in here with know how.. | 10:55 |
| harry_ | maalac:why dont you check the proper connection is there or not may be the bettry input and the your netplueg may gets conflig over somewhere...?? | 10:55 |
| maalac | harry_: that's the problem i dn't know where to look .. | 10:56 |
| ZenMaster | Morgz: Thanks for the support and hearing my rant. I really wanted to try out this rig on a live recording. And I'm going on about 8 straight hours of no success. | 10:56 |
| vostro | did u start with ubuntu destop and upgrade to ubuntu studio zenmaster | 10:56 |
| ZenMaster | vostro: Yes that is correct. | 10:56 |
| Morgz | ZenMaster - I hear ya buddy. When google fails, hit x chat and keep keeping on till you get results ;) | 10:56 |
| ZenMaster | I was thinking about downloading the Studio to the USB stick and trying that to see if I get less hardware trouble. | 10:56 |
| ZenMaster | Yeap. | 10:56 |
| vostro | u should try non grafical install of ubuntu studio | 10:57 |
| morri | by the way is it possible to have a wubi double boot?(having twwo wubus such as wubi ubuntu and wubi lubuntu? | 10:57 |
| ZenMaster | Well when I did do the upgrade I did it through the terminal, with no errors. | 10:57 |
| vostro | i would say that a dep is not being met or a config error in the upgrade zenmaster | 10:57 |
| harry_ | maalac:okay first of check you ur cable connection is proper or not | 10:57 |
| theadmin | morri: Unfortunately nope, however, you can install LXDE from Ubuntu or such | 10:57 |
| ZenMaster | vostro: Interesting. | 10:58 |
| vostro | zenmaster have u verified the port actually works | 10:58 |
| maalac | harry_: i'm sure is properly connected. | 10:58 |
| morri | ok thanks, but it won't uninstall all the gnome only needed files then would it? | 10:58 |
| ZenMaster | vostro: Port for which application we are talking about? The Entire Studio? | 10:58 |
| vostro | zenmaster a fresh install with ubuntu studio may work other then that try uninstalling jack and deps and reinstalling it | 10:59 |
| ZenMaster | Got ya. | 10:59 |
| ZenMaster | Going to try that. | 10:59 |
| ZenMaster | Ok for my other question. I have installed a new video card, and still yet can't run Unity. | 11:00 |
| ZenMaster | Geforce GTX 5800 PCI. | 11:00 |
| vostro | what vidcard zenmaster | 11:00 |
| ZenMaster | The menu's blink repeatedly. | 11:00 |
| harry_ | maalac:then it must went something wrong with your laptop hardware issue try to contact to the provider from hwre you bought laptop... | 11:00 |
| vostro | pci express zenmaster | 11:00 |
| ZenMaster | PCI. | 11:00 |

| ioriveur | Arz | 11:04 |
| [HzF]Rocker | Hence i can't connect to the wifi network | 11:05 |
| ZenMaster | Spacewalker: You can't rule me on that becuase you can't tell what my connotation is via txt. Thus making your judgement in accurate. So yes it was more wise to not say anything at all. | 11:05 |
| ZenMaster | [HzF]Rocker: Is there a file that holds all of your wifi settings? like a ".wifi" in your home dir or something, back in the days of bsd there was "net-config". | 11:06 |
| [HzF]Rocker | dunno, gonna go look | 11:06 |
| maalac | harry_: this is so strange. the only reason why i want this to work because whenever i boot up with adapter and then unplug it. it freezes. so i have to start it on battery mode.. | 11:06 |
| wols_ | ZenMaster: network manager has a config file somewhere. or /etc/network/interfaces if you use that | 11:06 |
| Ramses | someone registered my nick | 11:08 |
| harry_ | okay the way for now seems charge ur laptop firt then user your netconnection....otherwise show it to some hardware expert :) | 11:08 |

| harry_ | but better be carefully do some research work as in ubuntu 11.04 there are some very know issues are there if your are devloper in linux else you want it for ur documention work then its fine,. | 11:11 |
| [HzF]Rocker | ZenMaster, any other idea? | 11:12 |

| ActionParsnip | ffeegxh: then I would use gparted and create a new partition. Make sure you select the sdb under the devices menu so you are working on the new drive | 11:24 |
| sudokill | sam_mule- there should be a recently used file in home | 11:24 |
| ffeegxh | ActionParsnip: thank you | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ffeegxh: yes, its not partitioned so you cannot use it yet | 11:24 |
| sudokill | sam_mule- do sudo chattr +i on it | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ffeegxh: :D | 11:24 |
| sam_mule | sudokill: what will that do? | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Elirips: it's called Unity. The settings are in ccsm. You may need to install compizconfig-settings-manager so you can run ccsm | 11:24 |
| sudokill | sam_mule- make it so it cant be written to or deleted | 11:25 |
| jasonmsp | Anyone know how to get the F10 key to work in the terminal on Natty so that I can close htop on my server? | 11:25 |
| [HzF]Rocker | @ActionParsnip, i still don't get what to do, the scan doesn't say which interface was used, but it did use the wifi card (as it found 7 wifi networks) | 11:25 |
| sam_mule | sudokill: so in sudo cmd just put what you said. Or do i need to goto a folder first ? | 11:25 |
| glebihan | harry_, it seems that the variables which values are set when you select the language are in fact LANGUAGE, GDM_LANG and LC_MESSAGES | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: try: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 eth0 wil be listed, underneath will be the wireless interface name | 11:25 |
| Elirips | ActionParsnip: I didnt change anything in the configuration, I opened firefox, and now the thing wont hide again | 11:26 |
| oshekfeh | After I installed ubuntu, I found that access to internet is very slow, can anybody help me? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Elirips: it may need tweaking | 11:26 |
| Elirips | ActionParsnip: why, before it always hidded again after I opened a programm | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | oshekfeh: tried the google dns servers? may help (plus it's free to try) | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Elirips: well its not doing it now so something must be wrong, right? | 11:26 |
| harry_ | yes mostly GDM_LANG but this GDM_LANG is what ?? | 11:27 |
| Elirips | ActionParsnip: indeed. | 11:27 |
| harry_ | i use env | grep LANG command | 11:27 |
| Lostvoices | i have 2 pcs with ubuntu on them and i want to send files from one to the other over wifi. how do i setup a network to do this on ubuntu? | 11:27 |
| oshekfeh | ActionParsnip: Ok I will try | 11:27 |
| harry_ | glebihan:yes mostly GDM_LANG but this GDM_LANG is what ?? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Elirips: instal the app then check the unity settings, you can set the hide style there | 11:27 |
| sam_mule | sudokill: so in sudo cmd just put what you said. Or do i need to goto a folder first ? | 11:27 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, its in the settings/profile for the terminal. its remaped to some other function. I always have to disable that for mc to work right | 11:27 |
| b0ot | I can't seem to stream to a multicast ip address in ubuntu 10.04 | 11:28 |
| b0ot | it seems like any connection to a multicast ip address fails | 11:28 |
| glebihan | harry_, not sure, never saw that one before | 11:28 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, under 'keyboard shortcuts' it seems. | 11:28 |
| b0ot | any ideas what could be causing that? | 11:28 |
| jasonmsp | dr_willis There is a setting in terminal that does not enable the f10 key but when deslected it still does not send the f10 through the terminal. | 11:29 |
| harry_ | glebihan:okay but by which command you got the LC_MESSAGE?? | 11:29 |
| glebihan | harry_, GDM is the gnome display manager, which handles the login, so that variable must be set when you login when I don't know what it is used for | 11:29 |
| [HzF]Rocker | @ActionParsnip: uhm, then waht? - i do get a list containing address, channel, etc. and it's the right one + some "IE: Unknown: " stuff | 11:29 |
| sam_mule | How do i stop ubuntu from keeping a history of the last documents I have opened. | 11:29 |
| glebihan | harry_, the "env" command lists all environment variables | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: what is teh scanning interface name? | 11:30 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, odd.. This is in htop you are having the issues. I always use mc.. let me try htop and see if it works. | 11:30 |
| [HzF]Rocker | @ActionParsnip: wlan0 | 11:30 |
| jemparin1 | good evening | 11:30 |

| glebihan | harry_, you're welcome | 11:31 |
| gry | jemparin1: Good evening. | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: ok that's cool. Did you check the dmesg output? | 11:31 |
| jemparin1 | everything should be fine | 11:31 |
| [HzF]Rocker | i missed that | 11:31 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, hmm.. seems its broken.. odd.. for htop you can use 'q' to quit. but now in my case F10 dosent work for mc either.. interesting. | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: reboot and login, then run: dmesg | tail | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, i never noticed thatbefor. i tend to use terminator instead of gnome0terminal | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: read the output, some lines will relate to the wifi setting up, may give clues | 11:32 |
| harry_ | glebihan:now i just need to find out what the LC_MESSAGE means and how to assess it in my project using qt | 11:32 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, it could be compiz is grabbing the f10 key also | 11:32 |
| Ramses | you guys need to create a way to we have ubuntu and windows on the same machine at the same time without installation, like a live cd | 11:33 |

| Ramses | my dad dont allo me to use only ubuntu | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ramses: how will it be "on the system" if it's not installed? | 11:33 |
| Ramses | II am thinking, wait | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ramses: you can install Ubuntu in a persistant mode to a USB stick / SD card / CF etc | 11:34 |
| Ramses | My job depends on windows | 11:34 |
| sam_mule | ActionParsnip: I get no such file. | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ramses: just tell your system to boot the external storage when you want Ubuntu | 11:34 |
| Ramses | my dad is always watching me all day long | 11:35 |
| dr_willis | jasonmsp, its looking like somthing else is grabbing the F10 key. even in xterm the F10 key is not working. | 11:35 |
| Ramses | it would interesting to have ubuntu also in the machine like Cygwin | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sam_mule: there is a lot here http://askubuntu.com/questions/34592/how-to-clear-recently-used-files | 11:35 |

| [HzF]Rocker | @ActionParsnip: it listed some stuff, but nothing relates to wifi, except: "cfg80211: found new beacon on frequency 2472Mhz (Ch 13) on phy0" | 11:37 |

| aum___ | how can i compress a video using ffmpeg | 11:42 |
| [HzF]Rocker | ActionParsnip: i don't get what the "dmesg | tail" output meant, can you explain or shall i put it on pastebin so you can look? | 11:43 |
| gry | aum___: `man ffmpeg` might clarify that - if you have certain things you tried and which failed, just ask in here. | 11:43 |
| damno | eth0 on my computer is damaged, so i use eth1 bt Vbox doesnt report eth1 to any virtual machine | 11:43 |
| th0r | damno: vbox creates virtual interfaces. It should do NAT to whatever working interface you have on the host | 11:44 |
| aum___ | gry, the `man ffmpeg` is very big i am just failed to follow it can you specify which switch to use | 11:44 |
| damno | th0r: bt it doesnt | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | [HzF]Rocker: it's quite readable, its the kernel messages since boot. The reboot reduces the amount greatly. If you can get a wired connection you can always install wicd, uninstall network manager then reboot | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | damno: have you asked in #vbox | 11:45 |
| damno | i think i got it | 11:45 |
| damno | let me see | 11:45 |

| spexi | What should I do to fix my samba shares, Windows 7 doesn't see them at all, WDTV Live device sees my computer but says "There's no media in the current folder". My ubuntu computer also can't connect to Windows 7 shares, and has some error message when I execute smbtree command. | 12:56 |
| strange_ | hey guys i have a problem with jack sense when i plugin my headphones the internal speakers on my msi windtop wont disable | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | strange_: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh | 12:56 |
| strange_ | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4d47275b8b6dab0afe264d09cf08af456e2f763e | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | strange_: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base alsa-utils; killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* | 12:58 |
| strange_ | ActionParsnip, reboot after that | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | spexi, try entering the serverip/sharepath/ directly. Browsing of the windows shared networks seems to be broken more in every ubuntu release.. and in every windows release i find.. | 12:59 |
| strange_ | ActionParsnip, or should it work instantly | 12:59 |
| dr_willis | spexi, ie: ctrl-l smb://ip.of.the.server/sharename | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | strange_: to my knowledge yes bt a reboot is no bad thing | 13:00 |
| thegoodcushion | Has anything changed with Natty that means that you cannot usermod while you're logged in? | 13:01 |
| spexi | dr_willis: doesn't work.. | 13:01 |
| spexi | when typing smbtree, \\WDTVLIVE says "Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled" | 13:02 |
| spexi | and failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED | 13:02 |
| strange_ | anyone else have any suggestions about jack sense? actionparsnip was helping me but left and his solution didnt work when i plugin my headphones my internal speakers dont disable | 13:03 |
| Pulsewidth | I ran out of disk space with an ecryptfs home. I now have several zero length files in $HOME/.Private, how can I find the corresponding corrupted files? | 13:03 |
| blup | how can i track the ips of people who have/are connected to my website (apache)? | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | spexi, ive learned that smbtree dosent work very well any more these days... it used to (a few years back) work better for me. | 13:03 |
| dr_willis | spexi, theres also findsmb, but it seems quirky also. | 13:03 |
| iceroot | blup: netstat | 13:03 |
| iceroot | blup: also you can enable the "status-mod" from apache | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | speakman, smbclient seems to work well with the right options. | 13:04 |
| iceroot | blup: http://alpha-unix.de/status | 13:04 |

| spexi | mmkay | 13:04 |
| blup | thanks iceroot | 13:04 |
| dr_willis | spexi, also ive noticed that my Boxeebox seems to detect/show ALL the machines and shares... while none of the other pcs on the lan, (wndows or linuix) seems to find them all. | 13:05 |
| spexi | just can't get it why sharing has to be always a big problem | 13:05 |
| dr_willis | spexi, ive basically fallan back to using static ip's and entering in the ip/sharename directly in most cases. | 13:05 |
| spexi | well, i can't do that with WDTV Live device | 13:06 |
| dr_willis | spexi, its gotten worse with win7 added into the mix. Ive not tried that FuseSMB tool in ages.. it was a handy on they fly share finder also. | 13:06 |
| spexi | and that's the main reason why I'm trying to get shares work | 13:06 |

| theadmin | rabbit1, was the drive properly unmounted in Windows? | 13:11 |
| Nicolus | if i ssh into my server and run something .. it runs well but when i quit ssh it terminates how can i keep it running on the server irrespective of my connection also how can i screen into it it | 13:12 |
| theadmin | rabbit1, that is, did you click "Safely Remove Device" in tray and choose this drive, and chose "Stop", and were told "It is now safe to remove ..."? | 13:12 |
| troydm | Nicolus: nohup yourcommandhere | 13:12 |

| dddbmt | Hi all. I'm looking for a editor with SVN,CVS,GIT,"Work on remote server through sshs/sftp". Basically I'm looking for a program like netbeans - except I don't want it to kill my computer. | 13:19 |
| krger | Would you also like a unicorn that takes you to work on a rainbow? | 13:20 |
| theadmin | krger: You do realize that this is somewhat offensive, right? | 13:20 |
| troydm | dddbmt: emacs :) | 13:21 |
| chaoshax | I am manually configuring xorg how do I find the bus id? | 13:21 |
| krishnan | wat is the channel for gentoo linux? | 13:21 |
| troydm | krishnan: try gentoo | 13:21 |
| th0r | krger: oh...can ubuntu do that? | 13:21 |
| krger | th0r: Yeah. Just gotta find the right HOWTO. | 13:22 |
| escott | chaoshax, look through /sys | 13:22 |
| dddbmt | troydm, will I have to "learn" emacs? - Or can I use it as I use most other editors/IDEs. | 13:22 |
| escott | chaoshax, or use lshw. but why manual config why not use Xorg -configure | 13:22 |
| F-B-T | now? | 13:22 |
| F-B-T | whew | 13:22 |
| F-B-T | Srry room | 13:22 |

| chaoshax | escott, http://pastebin.com/WEaBjiHL | 13:23 |
| chaoshax | Why does it not have a gpu secrion? | 13:23 |
| chaoshax | Without the monitor stuff, I added that manually. | 13:23 |
| chaoshax | section* | 13:23 |
| theadmin | dddbmt: emacs is even weirder than Vim, in my opinion | 13:23 |
| troydm | dddbmt: you will have to learn it, but it's worth time spent | 13:23 |
| F-B-T | Okay, so.... Purged pulseaudio and lost the volume control that is present with a fn key combo | 13:23 |
| chaoshax | Why is xorg config not generate the gpu section and screen section? | 13:24 |
| xangua | F-B-T: install pulse again ;) | 13:24 |
| F-B-T | xangus I uninstalled it because I lost sound in a game I play. | 13:24 |
| troydm | also can anyone suggest console text editor with cua and and shift select for quick file editing | 13:24 |
| troydm | ? | 13:25 |
| theadmin | troydm: There aren't really any | 13:25 |

| Balaji_TVR | Dear Ubuntu friends, I have some question related to Proxy settings. Could you pls. help answering... | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | In the "network proxy", I have two locations. | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | 1) Default (used for office with some proxy settings) | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | 2) Home (Used for home network, i.e, direct internet connection) | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | Here my question is, when I switch from "office" location to "default" location, still the environtment variables (like https_proxy) are set and not resetting at all. This is forcing me to restart my laptop to get updated the new environtment settings. | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | a)So, how to get the environment variables updated without restarting? | 14:38 |
| Balaji_TVR | b)Is there any way to automatic proxy config for home/office network? | 14:38 |

| dr_willis | but i will mention the 'unsupported by this channel tool' "Ubuntu-tweak" does have a reset-stuff-back-to-defaults feature. | 14:44 |

| dbolser | how do I change my touchpad settings? | 14:44 |
| escott | Balaji_TVR, i dont have much experience with proxies on my own machine, but one approach might be to install squid proxy on your local machine and force all your connections through it, you could then adjust squid to go through the corporate proxy or not depending upon the situation | 14:45 |

| escott | !grub | jack_eire i would just reinstall grub | 16:15 |
| ubottu | jack_eire i would just reinstall grub: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 16:15 |
| Hachya | wait, u removed a linux partition and rebooted..... | 16:15 |
| Ramses | I will check it later | 16:15 |
| jack_eire | rightlegred: Is it because Grub is looking for the partition you erased | 16:15 |
| oCean | AcidRain: it would be even harder to support *all* ubuntu versions | 16:15 |
| Hachya | and now it's gone.....I don't get the quandary | 16:15 |
| rightlegred | jack_eire: how would I go about fixing that? | 16:15 |
| jack_eire | ubottu: Thanks for that | 16:15 |
| ubottu | jack_eire: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:15 |
| RA_drc | escott: not yet, i'll see if i can find updated drivers online | 16:16 |
| escott | rightlegred, grub relies on files in /boot if you removed those your grub will be non-functional | 16:16 |
| rightlegred | mhm, I probably did remove those | 16:16 |
| craigbass1976 | I need a newer ssh on this lucid box (at least 5.8) and wondered if getting http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssh/openssh-server-udeb_5.8p1-7_i386.udeb (with the corresponding ssh package) is going to cause much trouble. We got scanned by someone official lately and have to update. | 16:16 |
| rightlegred | I'm assuming the fix would be to reinstall ubuntu? | 16:16 |
| AcidRain | so you are saying that ubuntu 9.04 didnt have webcam support? | 16:16 |
| dommer | wow | 16:16 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: u need to respecify the partition is fstab unless you formatted it | 16:16 |
| dommer | Iḿ allowed in here again :P | 16:16 |
| dommer | cool | 16:16 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: what's the reason for requiring the update? | 16:16 |
| [HzF]Rocker | ActionParsnip: I can't install it, anything else i can try? | 16:16 |
| oCean | AcidRain: no, of course it did. But we cannot provide support for that version any more | 16:16 |
| takpar | dokhtare sen bala nist az shiraz | 16:17 |

| xangua | craigbass1976: not good isea to mix repositories | 16:17 |
| Hachya | rightlegred:.... | 16:17 |
| AcidRain | did you help create ubuntu? | 16:17 |
| rayvtirx | right thanks - i did a sudo fsck /dev/sda1 and it is booting now, should i have ignored the errors during this check or not? | 16:17 |
| oCean | AcidRain: this channel | 16:17 |
| craigbass1976 | jrib, it's an "OpenSSH GLOB_LIMIT Denial Of Service Vulnerability" issue... | 16:17 |
| AcidRain | and by some sworn secrecy you cannot help people in need | 16:17 |
| rightlegred | Hachya: I' | 16:17 |
| AcidRain | oh. just this channel | 16:17 |
| rightlegred | Err, sorry bad keyboard | 16:17 |
| AcidRain | well tell the admins to create me a channel called #unfortunate-ones | 16:17 |
| jrib | craigbass1976: and you're sure it hasn't been patched? Security patches usually get cherry picked | 16:17 |
| oCean | AcidRain: and there are no more updates provided. The product is end of live | 16:17 |
| rightlegred | Hachya: I rarely mess with this kind of stuff. I assumed it was OK to delete my partition | 16:18 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: that's fine....so you removed the partition from the table completely? | 16:18 |
| rightlegred | Yeah, completely | 16:18 |
| rightlegred | I removed it and expanded the drive it was from | 16:18 |
| escott | rightlegred, you need to install whatever bootloader is appropriate for the os you run. if you dont want ubuntu it might not be grub | 16:18 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: how did u remove it? using what tool/command | 16:18 |
| rightlegred | Hachya: Win7 disk manager | 16:18 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: !@#$@#$ | 16:19 |
| rightlegred | mhm | 16:19 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: XD | 16:19 |
| escott | rayvtirx, there were errors in your fsck that you ignored? | 16:19 |
| rightlegred | I probably did something very stupid :P | 16:19 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, what is remaining OS? | 16:19 |
| Hachya | righrlegred: THAT may not be fixable...sometimes if done withgparted it can be recovered.... I dunno about removing with win 7 disk mgr | 16:19 |
| rightlegred | Win7 | 16:19 |
| Hachya | urlin2u: Win7 | 16:19 |
| RA_drc | escott: i take that back - control-c will (eventually) break it properly | 16:19 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, do you have a recovery or install disc? | 16:20 |
| escott | rightlegred, at least in the past the correct tool to reinstall windows bootloader was fixmbr. don't know if that is still the case | 16:20 |
| rightlegred | I have a usb with the live stuff on | 16:20 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, a W7 thumb | 16:20 |
| rightlegred | I probably have a W7 thumb around | 16:20 |
| escott | RA_drc, its just getting stuck as the kernel tries to read the fs. if it is very large and the device very slow that could take some time | 16:20 |
| ne2k | escott: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 | 16:21 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, find it boot to the cli and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr | 16:21 |
| Hachya | urlin2u: how will that recover his linux partition? | 16:21 |
| [HzF]Rocker | Grr.. | 16:21 |
| rightlegred | I don't want to recover it | 16:22 |
| Hachya | ahhh | 16:22 |
| Hachya | my fault, yeah fixmbr | 16:22 |
| rightlegred | I was trying to remove it completelyt | 16:22 |
| Hachya | the bl is still there | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | Hachya, I thought that was gone and they wany W7 to boot. | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | want | 16:22 |
| Hachya | so fixmbr, and is that doesn't work, then first do fixboot, then fixmbr | 16:22 |
| ne2k | rightlegred: presumably you wouldn't have removed the partition and resized your other over it if you had wanted to keep it | 16:22 |
| rightlegred | mhm, urlin2u where abouts could I find this software? | 16:22 |
| Hachya | with either thumb or Install Disc | 16:22 |
| ne2k | rightlegred: I think this is really a windows question | 16:22 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, what software. | 16:22 |
| ne2k | rightlegred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392 | 16:23 |
| Hachya | ne2k: why yes, yes it is XD | 16:23 |
| rightlegred | Probably, I dislike the windows support though, seems terribad | 16:23 |
| rightlegred | I'll move to google | 16:23 |
| rightlegred | Thanks guys | 16:23 |
| Hachya | rightlegred: you still have ur windows install disc? | 16:23 |
| urlin2u | rightlegred, I will see you at #windows | 16:23 |

| escott | krazykrivda, its called cross-compiling. you should find plenty of docs on how to do that | 16:28 |

| krazykrivda | escott: ok thanks.. as always | 16:29 |
| ne2k | krazykrivda: from bitter experience, I can tell you that by far the easiest way is to compile natively, if that is possible. | 16:29 |
| ne2k | krazykrivda: i.e. compile on the phone itself. | 16:29 |
| krazykrivda | ne2k: i don't even have gcc on the phone.. ha | 16:29 |

| krazykrivda | ne2k: no it will not.. but I'm tryuing to compile and see how it works.. I'm not sure how to check if device does have econet | 16:39 |
| rww | einseenai: yes, install it extended | 16:40 |
| escott | Guest15721, please do what the error message tells you and chkdsk the drive in windows. if you don't have a working windows system please don't use ntfs | 16:40 |
| ne2k | krazykrivda: it's not the device that needs to have it, it's the kernel. the kernel econet module needs to be loaded | 16:40 |
| szal | einseenai: primary partitions are not located on extended partitions; the extended partition _is_ a primary partition and holds virtual partitions | 16:40 |
| krazykrivda | ne2k: yes.. but I"m not sure hwo to check the kernel for the econet module | 16:40 |
| Ralph124c | einseenai: extended partition is fine - but you need to set up it's own logical partition. | 16:40 |
| AlexDevilLX | is takpak her? | 16:40 |

| Guest7529 | escott: did you see the dialogue ? | 16:41 |

| krazykrivda | ne2k: I would most likely need SU to run that | 16:42 |
| ne2k | krazykrivda: yes you'd need to be root to do the modprobe for the test to see if the econet module is available | 16:43 |

| escott | Guest7529, the ntfs driver doesn't like something about your ntfs filesystem. not a lot you can do. you can try and manually mount things with ntfs-3g drivers. you could also try turning off features of the fs in windows (i think shadow copies are a problem) | 16:44 |

| designbybeck | In Compiz Windows Decorations... I'm trying to have all windows decorated except MPlayer: | 17:00 |
| designbybeck | i have: any & !title=MPlayer | 17:00 |
| designbybeck | but that isn't working... any suggestions? | 17:00 |
| escott | [HzF]Rocker, not really. the things i know to check are that the driver is correct and loaded, that rfkill is off, and that nothing in /etc is preventing network manager from managing the device (if you put stuff in some network related files network manager will yield to manual control) you could try and connect manually to see if that last bit is the problem | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | designbybeck: have you tried reloading compiz | 17:00 |
| escott | designbybeck, you might need to adjust your pattern matching. use xwininfo to verify the window title | 17:01 |
| designbybeck | yeah it is refreshing AcidRain | 17:01 |
| designbybeck | ActionParsnip, | 17:01 |
| designbybeck | I have gotten this to work before but I think i'm typing the wrong "window matching" | 17:01 |
| designbybeck | i can get it to turn off ALL decoration on all windows | 17:01 |
| === t0nic is now known as Guest12075 | ||
| [HzF]Rocker | escott the driver should be ok, it's loaded rfkill is off and about /etc i dunno | 17:02 |
| designbybeck | I'm not sure how to use xwininfo escott | 17:02 |
| escott | designbybeck, type it in a terminal and click on the window you want info about | 17:02 |
| designbybeck | that is correct "MPlayer" | 17:03 |

| RetroMetro | urlin2u: Hi. The other day You gave me a link on a big Wubi thread. I just wanted to thank You. | 17:12 |

| C1iFF | anyone have ideas on my faulty upgrade posted earlier?? nouveau's always was a pain in the rear since it was introduced way back when, but now it seems impossible to update... it might b a repo problem, but I have no way to know w/o someone's help... | 17:19 |
| dbolser | how do I get the old 'double click and drag' behaviour? | 17:19 |
| micols | I have my screen(1) windows on F1-F12 , so F1 starts gnome help window lol | 17:19 |
| micols | but F2-F12 toggles my screens , mutt , irssi etc | 17:20 |
| micols | except for that it is impressive, everything just works, even apt .. no dependency problems ever | 17:20 |
| dbolser | you carefully lign up the cursor with the window edge, double click, then when you see the hand, drag | 17:20 |
| micols | all my debian systems break with dependency problems | 17:20 |
| dbolser | now you have to move like some lunatic, ligning up, clicking and gesturing, lineing up, clicking and gesturing | 17:21 |

| dr_willis | giraffy, what fs do you want to format it to? whats on it now? | 18:20 |

| Dynetrax | Dulak you're running ubuntu? | 18:24 |
| Escherial | Dulak: using wine, huh? :) yeah, i use wine for a few things (ragnarok online, for one), but it'd be nice to have access to my windows installation as though it were booted (i.e. with the window manager, etc. available), so i'll continue to look into vming it | 18:24 |

| giraffy | dr_willis, OK, here's the deal. I've already formatted one partition on this 3T drive by putting it in an external drive box. The box can't recognize anything over 2T, so I partitioned it using my Gentoo laptop. I did this b/c I COULDn't get the Ubuntu to partition this thing with fdisk or gparted. In gparted, the message says the drive is busy. Tried umount although never mounted. Message: not mounted. What is Ubuntu doing that mak | 18:25 |
| giraffy | es this drive look busy? | 18:25 |
| Dynetrax | did you install 10.04 from alternate iso? or regular ubuntu desktop dulak | 18:25 |
| Dulak | Escherial: umm wine explorer.exe /path/to/windows/mount/point | 18:25 |
| Escherial | zykotick9: ah, heh, that makes a ton more sense :3 | 18:25 |
| vikram | @escott ..... sudo cat /dev/sdb > raw_disk_image.img .... is still working , how much time it will take ? | 18:25 |

| Dulak | Dynetrax: just the normal iso, I am using the wine 1.3 ppa repo though for wine. | 18:26 |
| escott | giraffy, you should try using gdisk i your version of gparted is too old to handle gpt tables | 18:26 |
| Dynetrax | Dulak: How does wow run when you run it like that? | 18:26 |
| giraffy | That's the external box that cant recognize the 3T. dont want to spend $80 just to partition this thing and then put in the Ubuntu. btw, tried just formating w/ext3. Doent matter | 18:27 |
| hwilde | could someone please tell [HzF]Rocker where is the persistent storage located on a liveusb stick | 18:27 |
| Dulak | Dynetrax: not as well as natively booted to windows, but it's very playable. I wouldn't raid under linux. | 18:27 |
| Escherial | zykotick9: hmm, i have a core i5 in this machine, so perhaps it's possible? :D | 18:27 |
| escott | vikram, depends on how big that disk is. you are copying the entire contents of that fs to a file, failed to mention that you probably want to umount that partition prior to running that command | 18:27 |
| zykotick9 | Escherial, i haven't used Windows in close to 10 years so really don't know how they work/perform in KVM in that manner, but it worked pretty well with Linux Dual boot installs. | 18:27 |
| hwilde | vikram, you want to use the command "dd" | 18:27 |
| zaklucheni | now i see, SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0xXXXXX | 18:27 |
| giraffy | No, the gparted will do gpt tables, so I cd have used that. | 18:27 |
| safire_ | is there anyway to make a symlink to a file that doesn't yet, but will later? | 18:28 |
| Escherial | zykotick9: no problem; thanks for the idea. seems promising :) | 18:28 |
| escott | safire_, yes. you should be able to force it (or you could touch the file, create the symlink then remove the symlink) it is known as a broken symlink | 18:28 |

| escott | giraffy, fdisk doesn't know anything about gpt as far as i can tell. gdisk understands both and can deal with hybrid partition tables | 18:40 |

| chamunks | Any ideas as to why my ssh transfers are running so slowly over a gigabit lan? | 18:41 |
| stealz | ocean, how? | 18:41 |
| escott | giraffy, if you find it is a hybrid partition table check rodsbooks.com for some excellent documentation | 18:41 |

| seanmc98 | hello, is there a way to click a certain icona nd it will go straight to you r desktop without having to minimize all open programs? like in windows, you click it and it shows desktop | 18:42 |
| chamunks | bsdunix, do you think that I could rsync over ftp? | 18:43 |
| stealz | oCean, to make myself clear: I have something like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-SEbMh2ospl8/TX9sgmvgZ2I/AAAAAAAAAgg/U8zAp-n2isg/s1600/Ubuntu-login-screen.jpg and I want it to look more like this: http://slim.berlios.de/themes/slim-lake.jpg | 18:43 |
| urlin2u | __Alex_, try the classic desktop, the left panel can only be reduced in width. | 18:43 |
| stealz | oCean, yes | 18:43 |
| Myrtti | chamunks: it still isn't instantaneous. if you're in a LAN and don't have to worry about file encryption, try some other method like ftp, samba or nfs | 18:43 |
| stealz | oCean, I already changed what would be the desktop wallpaper | 18:43 |
| bsdunix | chamunks: not sure how to implement that | 18:43 |
| Dynetrax | seanmc98 theres a way to do it with KDE but i dunno if you're using KDE | 18:43 |
| giraffy | escott: thanks, I'm downloading gparted iso right now, will check out rodsbook.com and then will probably try gdisk first to see if it can bypass this "busy" stuff. Thanks for the info. | 18:44 |
| stealz | oCean, I want the login window where you enter your info be transparent, except for the button where you select the user and the input box | 18:44 |
| chamunks | bsdunix, because as far as I know rsync is by far the best method of copying something with any sort of assurances that your data is intact. | 18:44 |
| oCean | stealz: aah, the actual loginbox | 18:44 |
| stealz | oCean, yes | 18:44 |
| chamunks | Myrtti, I'd like to use ftp but still would like the precision of rsync. | 18:44 |
| bsdunix | chamunks: you're correct there about rsync, i'd just use that | 18:45 |
| zykotick9 | stealz, just so there is no confusion, that berlios screen cap is using a different DM called Slim, not GDM | 18:45 |

| pratz | hey guys, want to connect to my friends computer through ssh, even he is using ubuntu, i use ssh friend_username@ip_address , is that correct ?? | 18:45 |
| escott | chamunks, you can use rsync over rsync protocol (unencrypted) | 18:45 |
| Dynetrax | I wouldnt know how to do what you're asking ith unity. I dont use unity | 18:45 |
| stealz | I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that | 18:45 |

| pratz | ip_address is external | 18:45 |
| Pici | pratz: Yes, your friend will need to make sure that they are forwarding port 22 from their router to their computer though. | 18:45 |
| chamunks | bsdunix, escott seems to have mentioned something of interest thanks for your attention to my issue :) | 18:46 |
| stealz | oCean, thanks anyways | 18:46 |
| stealz | zykotick9, I was just thinking it should be possible to just make the window background transparent, didnt want to install a different login manager for that | 18:46 |
| chamunks | escott, hi again. Thanks for pointing this out I will look into it some. | 18:46 |
| escott | chamunks, you just need to enable an rsync server on one of the machines | 18:46 |
| bsdunix | chamunks: my experience with rsync was that i could have it copy over only diff between endpoints and resume broken transfer and verify. lovely stuff, indeed. try scp yet? | 18:46 |
| pratz | Pici: but when i try to connect , i get no route to host | 18:46 |
| NorthByNorthWest | I ran a "chown root -R /usr" | 18:46 |

| acidrain | trying to restart | 18:48 |
| stealz | zykotick9, thanks. The Idea I had was to launch ccsm from the login screen, but that didnt work either. Gonna keep trying =) | 18:48 |
| giraffy | Still, I wonder if there's something different about how Ubuntu tries to mount stuff. Friends using slackware haven't had this problem. Isn't there a way to get Ubuntu to recognize that the disk isn't really busy, or is Ubuntu continuously trying to mount something that it can't mount? | 18:48 |
| Pici | pratz: That might be an issue, most of the time residential ISPs still allow pings to be sent. Perhaps you don't have the IP correct? | 18:48 |
| chamunks | escott, hmm I'm starting to think that I have no idea how to get started in using the rsync protocol | 18:48 |
| oCean | stealz: found this: https://answers.launchpad.net/gdm2setup/+question/101329 It seems not an easy task | 18:48 |
| escott | giraffy, once you unmount the partition nothing should mount it again until you hotplug the device | 18:49 |
| chamunks | escott, for the unencrypted transfer. do i need a daemon running on the target? | 18:49 |
| escott | chamunks, yes you would need to enable an rsync server | 18:49 |

| escott | chamunks, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 18:50 |
| giraffy | escott: This disk was never mounted. Just for luck, I gave the unmount command to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Response: not mounted. | 18:50 |

| chamunks | zykotick9, im targeting a ssh endpoint hence my issues but I think that escott has pointed out that if i learn how to use the rsync daemon on my freenas box I can do this unencrypted. | 18:52 |

| Dynetrax | you're both on the same network then pratz? | 18:55 |
| pratz | Dynetrax: no ,we both are using same service providers service and the technology is wibro | 18:55 |
| pratz | Dynetrax: i am not that good at networking, but i know they are using wibro tech | 18:56 |
| zykotick9 | chamunks, if you have a mount from your freenas box (samba/nfs) on your local machine, just use that mount for your rsync command... | 18:56 |
| zykotick9 | chamunks, ie. your freenas box doensn't need any rsync support, just the file sharing it already uses | 18:57 |
| chamunks | zykotick9, hmm well i guess I could try that :P hmm ok well basically my understanding of it now is that rsync prefers unencrypted channels first. | 18:58 |
| chamunks | zykotick9, but it generally can aim for encrypted src/dest's | 18:58 |
| zykotick9 | chamunks, i've never used rsync's "encrypted" options before, i've used rsync over ssh channels though. I'm not sure what your asking exactly. But rsync can be used to copy/move files around a local computer as well, i just consider it an advanced copy tool. | 18:59 |
| escott | chamunks, rsync is just a protocol for transmission of data, its rather agnostic regarding the channel. you tunnel it over ssh and you get overhead for ssh, you tunnel it over nfs/samba you get overhead there. the least overhead is to have to distinct rsync servers on the different machines | 18:59 |

| NS_tech | i am sprocket and im trying to do s sudo apt get | 19:04 |
| Myrtti | NS_tech: it means you don't have permission to run sudo | 19:04 |
| NS_tech | i used to | 19:04 |
| noneabove | silverarrow, whhats this gparted thing? can you go a bit more step by step or give me a guide to follow ? | 19:04 |
| escott | NS_tech, sprocket is not in the admin group. only the admin group is allowed to sudo | 19:04 |

| NS_tech | how do i get back in the admin group | 19:05 |
| pratz | Pici: but that is the standard way , right ?? | 19:05 |
| Pici | pratz: Yes, it is. I suspect something else is going on, perhaps your provider has done something weird. | 19:05 |

| bsdunix | chamunks: army artilley labs made a small c code server/client throughput metrix gathering tool. maybe search for it. quite handy for identifying bottlenecks | 19:06 |
| NS_tech | how do i get back in the admin group? | 19:06 |
| noneabove | silverarrow ? | 19:06 |
| escott | NS_tech, add yourself to the admin account with a user who is a member. if this is your only user boot the livecd chroot in as root and add yourself there | 19:06 |
| silverarrow | noneabove, gparted is a partitioning tool, it is there in the live CDs on Ubuntu and Linux, but can be downloaded an burned for separate boot up cd too | 19:07 |

| pratz | Pici: any idea i am getting distination host unreachable | 19:07 |
| Pici | pratz: Thats better than no route to host. Are your use that your friend's ssh server is running and is running on port 22? And that they've forwarded the proper port? | 19:07 |
| noneabove | silverarrow, i can use that even if i used the "install on windows" thing ? | 19:08 |

| oCean | tomtiger11_: remove that bot | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | NS_tech, try logging into "recovery mode" from Grub - then re-add your user to proper groups. Oh and learn to add users to groups properly ;) | 19:08 |
| noneabove | silverarow, and theres no other way with wubi? just want to make sure before i go out and find my usb or a cd haha | 19:08 |
| pratz | Pici: how to check if he has forwarded the proper port ?? | 19:09 |
| Pici | pratz: You need to ask him. | 19:09 |

| pratz | Pici: i am afraid he is not that technical guy | 19:09 |
| silverarrow | noneabove, there might be, do you have a windows recovery cd? At least it can erase and reformate with ntfs file system | 19:10 |

| noneabove | silverarrow, well i mean ive been able to uninstall it using wubi but for some reason every time i reinstall the same problem comes back (it gets stuck in boot up once in awhile, then when i install the driver for my graphics card it says i can no longer use unity) | 19:11 |
| escott | NS_tech, reboot and select it from the grub menu. if your grub menu doesnt appear you have to press and hold some key not sure which | 19:11 |
| NS_tech | oh yeah | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | escott, shift for grub2 | 19:11 |
| silverarrow | noneabove, hmm, I'm not shore why you get that | 19:12 |

| NS_tech | i held the shift key and it said loadign grub but no menu came up | 19:13 |
| escott | pratz, it may not be a global ip address. if it is 127.0.* then it is behind a nat and not a global ip | 19:13 |

| noneabove | silverarrow, yea it was all fine until i tried to install more drivers from my graphics card the other day because i have a switchable graphics card so i wanted it using the good one, then all of a sudden it switched out of unity, and then when i reinstalled it gets stuck on a boot screen after i do the updates (like when you install and run first time theres updates it asks you to install) | 19:13 |
| pratz | escott: what does that exactly mean | 19:13 |
| NS_tech | got it | 19:13 |
| pratz | Pici: escott both mine and my friends ip address start from 113 | 19:14 |
| Pici | pratz: Thats fine. | 19:14 |
| escott | pratz, network address translation, its a subnet that is not visible to the rest of the internet. 113 is a global ip though. you could try and traceroute to it | 19:15 |

| aswift | Hello, I am having a problem with scp between my laptop running 11.04 and my netbook running 11.04. When I try to copy a folder from my netbook to my laptop using the command "scp -v 192.168.137.101:Projects/tar/file.tar.gz ." it will run for a while, but then it will stall. When I cancel it and try again I get the following message "ssh: connect to host 192.168.137.101 port 22: No route to host" both pc's are still on | 19:19 |
| xerox1 | i am having a problem concerning flash, firefox and ubuntu 10.4 lts 64 bit; i can't watch any flash films with firefox even if chromium and flash works | 19:19 |
| Dynetrax | G-host there is no best or better Operating system, its all about what yuo need it for, For instance i use windows 7 for gaming and audio production, and linux for regular everyday use | 19:20 |
| pratz | Pici:escott Dynetrax any idea guys | 19:21 |
| Felix_Indahouse | Dynetrax +1 | 19:21 |
| NS_tech | ok so i dont screw this up, what is the correct command to add myself back into the groups i need to be in? | 19:21 |
| bsdunix | aswift: you more than likely are experiencing a networking problem | 19:21 |
| escott | NS_tech, usermod -a -G groups,go,here | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | xerox1: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf | 19:21 |
| aswift | both computers are using wireless through a d-link router and both are still able to access the internet | 19:22 |
| escott | NS_tech, sudo usermod -a -G admin,plugdev,... your_login_here | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Aswift: can you ping between? | 19:22 |
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: ii flashplugin-installer 10.3.181.34ubuntu0.10.04.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xerox1: that's it? | 19:23 |
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: yeah, that's all | 19:23 |
| den4ik_13rus | There is a problem ((. Webcam is defined as the keyboard and does not work. Please help | 19:23 |
| NS_tech | what all groups should i be a member of? | 19:23 |
| escott | NS_tech, this is my list you may need others adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 19:23 |
| aswift | nope, but I have just found my netbook has lost internet access, don't know why tho | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | xerox1: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer | 19:24 |
| === zzzz is now known as zzzz_zzzz | ||
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: i am even wondering why this package is still there, thought it is only for transition | 19:24 |
| NS_tech | do i need to include any groups im already a part of? or does -a mean append | 19:24 |
| escott | NS_tech, -a for append don't forget it next time | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | xerox1: then websearch: omgubuntu 64bit flash you will find a guide witha PPA with 64bit flash for your 64bit OS | 19:25 |
| aswift | how do I debug the network connection for my netbook? | 19:26 |
| usr13 | aswift: Check network cables, the router, the NIC. Check to see if there is an IP conflict.... there are a number of possibilities. | 19:26 |
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: ah it was the non-free which was for transition | 19:26 |
| usr13 | aswift: You would have to tell us some specific information about your situation before we could give you any type of specific advise. | 19:26 |
| bsdunix | aswift; man ifconfig, route ifup, see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts | 19:27 |
| NS_tech | okey-dokey | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Xerox1: it is the adobe 64bit flash. Works a lot cleaner imho | 19:27 |
| NS_tech | even with all my frustrations with linux, its still awsome | 19:27 |
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: thx, will give it a try | 19:27 |
| zykotick9 | xerox1, actually that flashplugin-installer SHOULD be installing up-to-date 64bit Flash... | 19:27 |
| xerox1 | zykotick9: yes, but i didn't :) | 19:28 |
| NS_tech | i have had more issues with linux (mostly cause its a non-pure linux) than i ever have had with windows, but i still like it better | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | xerox1, i re-ran it the other day to update my installed flash on one machine | 19:28 |
| xerox1 | zykotick9: did it work? | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | xerox1, well yes, but perhaps the debian vs ubuntu makes a difference? | 19:29 |
| den4ik_13rus | Have a problem ((. Webcam is defined as the keyboard and does not work. Please help | 19:29 |
| bsdunix | aswift: primarily; ifconfig. see interface name. then dhclient (interface name) - then call route. see that only one default gateway route exists and there is a generic subnet route both for said interface. | 19:29 |
| xerox1 | hm...i have had these issues with ubuntu 9.04 and lenny | 19:29 |
| xerox1 | most times a simple link helped...not this time | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | den4ik_13rus: does cheese show it ok? | 19:30 |
| b0ot | Why would I get a Network is Unreachable when I try to ping a multicast address? | 19:30 |
| den4ik_13rus | Black screen( | 19:30 |
| b0ot | and how would I fix the problem | 19:30 |
| bsdunix | aswift: but seeing that you're doing wireless; router and winterface configs must match also | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | xerox1: debian lenny is offtopic here anx jaunty is eol, so also offtopic | 19:31 |
| xerox1 | ActionParsnip: i know... only reacted to zykotick9 | 19:31 |
| Surfboard | hello, i am a friendly PA for CyberSurfer | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Gotcha | 19:32 |
| den4ik_13rus | mplayer show green screen( | 19:32 |
| CyberSurfer | hey guys | 19:32 |
| CrazyGir | hello! I just installed xubuntu on my laptop and am finding it's default configuration is not as gentle with the power management (as windows), and is completely unable to successfully hibernate & come back up, where as windows is flawless at this. Is this to be expected / dependent on laptop? or are there configurations I can go dig into and possibly improve the situation? | 19:32 |
| xerox1 | what i didn't know is, that 9.04 questions are not answered any longer - it hasn't been that long | 19:32 |
| zykotick9 | den4ik_13rus, nvidia? try "mplayer -vo x11 foo" | 19:32 |
| aswift | it seems strange that it can be working for 20mins and then suddenly stops working. I have ran ifconfig and wlan0 is up and running. route gives 3 destinations, 192.168.137.0, link-local, and default. | 19:33 |
| usr13 | b0ot: We would need to know some specific information about your network and PC before being able to help you with any specific advise. | 19:33 |
| den4ik_13rus | <zykotick9>, ATI.. | 19:33 |
| NS_tech | what group has network access? | 19:33 |
| xerox1 | nevertheless: thx to all of you | 19:33 |
| zykotick9 | den4ik_13rus, still try "mplayer -vo x11 foo" | 19:33 |
| CyberSurfer | This is what i hate about IRC, PEOPLE GIVE THERE IP's AWAY | 19:33 |
| ikonia | CyberSurfer: please see freenode.net and look at getting a cloak | 19:34 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: What exactly are you trying to do? | 19:34 |
| sterna | CyberSurfer: most do not | 19:34 |
| CyberSurfer | above | 19:34 |
| CyberSurfer | look | 19:34 |
| CrazyGir | CyberSurfer: and you think that's limited to IRC? | 19:34 |
| CyberSurfer | 192.168.137.0 | 19:34 |
| th0r | Rule #13 | 19:34 |
| NS_tech | well i fixed my group problem but now i dont have network access anymore. it says im connected but im not getting out | 19:34 |
| CrazyGir | laptop powermanagement / hibernation thoughts? | 19:34 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: What do you mean you are not getting out? | 19:35 |
| den4ik_13rus | LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0 tv:// -vo x11 foo ------ show green screen(( | 19:35 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: Can you ping the router? | 19:35 |
| CyberSurfer | no but people on irc have to be a bit computer savvy so its likely they will own a bot net | 19:35 |
| CrazyGir | CyberSurfer: that would be an assumption | 19:35 |
| bsdunix | aswift: i would suspect driver for the netbook's wireless interface or poor signal strength. for driver: dmesg | less (look for driver load on last boot) lsmod | grep (driver name) then check logs /var/log/messages, etc | 19:35 |
| ikonia | CyberSurfer: this isn't anything to do with ubuntu, so can we please drop the topic | 19:35 |
| CyberSurfer | ok | 19:35 |
| CrazyGir | with webclients making IRC easy and accessible, I would not agree | 19:35 |
| GuestDJ | Hi, a friend of mine is have an issue booting from a Live CD Ubuntu he says all that comes up when he boots from the disk is a blinking cursor then it shuts down. He is trying to backup files. | 19:35 |
| CyberSurfer | i know | 19:35 |
| ikonia | thanks | 19:36 |
| Dynetrax | cybersurfer is here to foxnews people into getting cloaks | 19:36 |
| Dynetrax | xD | 19:36 |
| ikonia | Dynetrax: please drop it | 19:36 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: If you can ping the router, see what the default route is; route -n (The default should be the gateway router). | 19:36 |
| Dynetrax | yea yea | 19:36 |
| Dynetrax | dropped | 19:36 |
| ikonia | thanks | 19:36 |
| CyberSurfer | but still why would they search in google or click on a link that says IRC even though they don't know what IRC stands for | 19:36 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: Next, see if you can resolve domain names; host av.com | 19:36 |
| stealz | can anyone tell me where to find the option for opacity or transparency in glade? | 19:37 |
| Dynetrax | gotta have fun sometimes though | 19:37 |
| Dynetrax | cant always be so serious | 19:37 |
| Dynetrax | lifes too short lol | 19:37 |
| NS_tech | my routing looks fine | 19:37 |
| Dynetrax | but yeah anyways | 19:37 |
| Dynetrax | ubuntu | 19:37 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: If you are unable to resolve domain names, check /etc/resolv.conf for valid nameservers | 19:37 |

| usr13 | GTRsdk: apt-get install tightvnc | 19:44 |
| escott | !vnc | GTRsdk | 19:44 |

| wifihelp_ | help? | 19:44 |
| CrazyGir | bsdunix: not sure, I guess I can look :) | 19:45 |
| NS_tech | i dont know exactly because my linux is running in VirtualBox | 19:45 |
| NS_tech | so my network onfig in the box doesnt match my actual network | 19:45 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: wait at least 5 minutes.. or more.. before repeating yourself.. you might want to add some information about what your wifi-adapter is listed as in lsusb and what version of ubuntu you're running | 19:45 |
| GTRsdk | usr13, Unable to locate package tightvnc | 19:45 |
| dr_willis | NS_tech, you can set up vbox networking where the guest os appears on the local lan as a normal machine. (bridged?) or on its own subnet. and i think a few othe rways.. | 19:46 |
| wifihelp_ | slart: sorry. it used to work and I didnt play with the settings which is making me frustrated | 19:46 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: tightvncserver & xvncviewer | 19:46 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: And/or x11vnc (I use x11vnc) | 19:47 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: try running lsusb in a terminal... it should give you a list of 10 or so lines.. figure out which one is your wifi-dongle and write down the numbers preceeding it.. something like 1234:5678 | 19:47 |
| CyberSurfer_ | sorry | 19:47 |
| NS_tech | i never configured anything so its whateer the defaults are | 19:47 |
| CyberSurfer_ | but i said kick not ban | 19:47 |
| CyberSurfer_ | thats abuse | 19:47 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: that number will identify what kind of hardware is in that dongle.. you can even google for it | 19:47 |
| CyberSurfer_ | i will report ur ip | 19:47 |
| oCean | CyberSurfer_: stop it now | 19:47 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: x11vnc - VNC server to allow remote access to an existing X session | 19:47 |

| usr13 | GTRsdk: tightvnc-java - TightVNC java applet and command line program | 19:48 |
| bsdunix | CrazyGir: my daughter said there is a work-around for this common problem in the ubuntu forums that permenantly shuts down hibernation | 19:48 |
| GTRsdk | usr13, so would that work to 'see' the other computers and to gain access to them if I know the passwords? | 19:48 |
| FrozenFire | I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.04. I was hoping to set up some sort of QoS which, rather than explicitly throttling P2P traffic and such, would set out a guaranteed amount of bandwidth for things like HTTP, and allowing the remainder of the bandwidth to be saturated by whatever else wants it. | 19:48 |
| wifihelp_ | slart: none of the information can allow me to identify it. they all say device 1 and linux foundation | 19:48 |
| Felix_Indahouse | i got it installed on lenovo ideapad | 19:48 |
| FrozenFire | Does anyone know of a good solution to accomplishing this? | 19:49 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: There are a number of options. I use x11vnc on server end and vncviewer (part of tightvnc) on client end. | 19:49 |
| wifihelp_ | slart: nevermind | 19:49 |
| jessicajames | Felix_Indahouse, PM? :) | 19:49 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: here's what it looks like on my computer.. notice line 10.. that's my portable hard drive.. it has the usb id 1058:0702 | 19:50 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/661375/ | 19:50 |
| wifihelp_ | slart: 07d1:3c0d | 19:50 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: So if you install x11vnc and tightvncviewer on both, you will have it. BUT, you can install xtightvncviewer tightvncserver on both and that will work too. | 19:50 |
| NS_tech | ok i can get out i can ping 74.125.226.144 but i cant ping google.com | 19:50 |
| nankura | Hey guys, i was wondering if ubuntu 11.04 is PAE Enabled and address's 4GB of ram? | 19:51 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: include that when you ask for help... you can even just put those numbers into google and it will give you some good hits | 19:51 |
| NS_tech | is it possibl that im having a groups issue? | 19:51 |
| GTRsdk | !pae | 19:51 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 19:51 |
| usr13 | GTRsdk: Probably just install tightvncserver & xtightvncviewer on both and see if you like what you have. If not, try x11vnc | 19:51 |
| NS_tech | cause thta was the last thing i changed before it stopped working | 19:51 |
| Slart | wifihelp_: I've got a d-link DWA-140 myself that I haven't been able to use in ubuntu.. but perhaps your model is better supported | 19:52 |
| nankura | hm | 19:53 |
| nankura | says for 10.04 and 9.04 | 19:53 |
| nankura | i guess 11.04 is just enabled by default? | 19:53 |
| dr_willis | nankura, there are pae kernels in the repos.... | 19:53 |
| nankura | i get that, but thats not what im asking, im asking if 11.04 is enabled with pae by default | 19:53 |
| nankura | i remember something about 10.10 having pae | 19:53 |
| Pici | nankura: it is indeed. | 19:53 |
| bsdunix | oooh! i found a netgear WG111v3 at radio shack for $25 that not only works automagically with ubuntu, but does packet injection. this is nice to know for some i thought | 19:53 |
| nankura | thankyou pici | 19:53 |
| NS_tech | i cant get name resolution after i modified my groups can anyone throw me any suggestions? | 19:54 |
| HSL | Hi, anyone here with experience with 3ware raid cards? | 19:54 |
| fosburg | have a processor question | 19:54 |

| NS_tech | brb | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | fosburg, "uname -m" | 19:56 |
| Slart | fosburg: that will tell you the name of your kernel.. 64 bit kernels end in a special way | 19:56 |

| iridium | if it tells something about i386... it isn't | 19:56 |
| HSL | bsdunix: it's a 9550SX-4LP | 19:57 |
| HSL | bsdunix: how did you fix it? | 19:57 |
| HSL | bsdunix: scanning with tw_cli just says, no drive connected to port | 19:57 |
| bsdunix | HSL: double check power to the drives. make sure you clear all existing RAID configurations in 3DM2 and check system bios settings. then check drive jumpers | 19:58 |
| aswift | it might be that powersave is being turned on for wlan0, how do I disable this? | 19:58 |
| SoftarPaul | Hi there. I can't start my Transmission... The error-message I get: "Couldn't open '/home/paul/.config/transmission/lock': In/out-error" I'm not sure if the translation where okay.. | 19:58 |

| HSL | bsdunix: they where working fine before a reboot yesterday :/ | 19:59 |
| HSL | bsdunix: and what is 3DM2? | 19:59 |
| zykotick9 | fosburg, in a terminal type "uname -m" what is the output? | 19:59 |
| usr13 | NS_tech: You should also be in plugdev | 19:59 |

| Anmol | how to get fork function definition? | 20:00 |
| HSL | bsdunix: and yes, it's remote :) | 20:00 |
| bsdunix | HSL: i would suspect your system bios setting; set to legacy sata or use onboard sata controller - etc | 20:00 |
| SoftarPaul | hwilde: Thanks a lot! | 20:00 |
| HSL | bsdunix: that's weird, i didn't change the bios and it worked fine yesterday :) | 20:01 |
| zykotick9 | Anmol, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28operating_system%29 | 20:01 |
| bsdunix | HSL: and last of all; the worst case scenario; bad drives. | 20:01 |

| dyjodapa | Hello, I need some help ASAP. My friend is trying to backup some files via a Ubuntu Live CD. He is having an issue with a blinking cursor then it shuts down. Any help? | 20:01 |

| GTRsdk | dyjodapa, is the computer working properly or is something on it dead? | 20:02 |
| tomtiger11_ | !bye | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 20:02 |
| tomtiger11_ | !bye | 20:02 |
| usr13 | dyjodapa: having an issue with a blinking curser when it shuts down? What do you mean by that? | 20:02 |
| bsdunix | HSL: is there any way to check these drives? | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | dyjodapa, try an old ubuntu livecd (if you have one), try a non-ubuntu livecd, or see if nomodeset is an option for the ubuntu livecd. If it is shutting down, probably no livecd will work. | 20:03 |
| HSL | bsdunix: yeah I have to drive to the datacenter tomorrow. | 20:03 |
| craigsaboe | dyjodapa: you do need a minimum amt of RAM to load a Live CD, is it an older computer? | 20:03 |
| aswift | i looked in the /var/log/pm-powersave.log and on of the last entries was "Turning powersave for wlan0 on...Done" | 20:03 |
| tomtiger11_ | !tomtiger11 | 20:03 |

| oCean | tomtiger11_: please use the bot in private: /msg ubottu !bot | 20:04 |
| bsdunix | HSL: most suspect is that a reboot - then this. boot device maybe never set properly in system bios? | 20:04 |
| tomtiger11_ | ok !bye | 20:04 |
| dyjodapa | His system crashed and he is trying to recover imprortant files. When he tries to boot from a CD all that comes is a blinking cursor then it shuts down. | 20:05 |
| usr13 | aswift: If this is a laptop, check to see if the WiFi device is toggled off, (via switch or kestroke combo, such as F-key). | 20:05 |
| usr13 | dyjodapa: He may have a problem with RAM. | 20:05 |
| HSL | bsdunix: not likely, last few reboots I had no problems at all | 20:05 |
| usr13 | dyjodapa: If there are more than one stics of RAM, remove one and try again, if same thing happens, switch to another one and try again. | 20:06 |
| aswift | no both have the wireless is on, and the scp was working for the first 20mins or so and then stopped | 20:06 |
| craigsaboe | dyjodapa: you may want to just recommend he purchase an external USB enclosure, pop the hard drive in there, and retrieve the files that way | 20:06 |
| fosburg | zykotick It said i686 when I entered the line uname -m | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | fosburg, so that's 32bit | 20:07 |
| usr13 | dyjodapa: If it only has one stick of ram, try re-seating it. Next, try another knon-to-be-good RAM stick. | 20:07 |

| zykotick9 | fosburg, you can't go from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling (currently) | 20:08 |
| usr13 | dyjodapa: Ok, good. But that is only one of several possibilities. The first thing to check is RAM because it is most likely. | 20:08 |
| bsdunix | HSL: then two drives going at once under these circumstances does point to loss of that sata channel on controller | 20:08 |

| === KNUBBIG is now known as KNUBBIG_ | ||
| zykotick9 | Zopiac, I used to. Had issues with id3 tags. | 20:09 |
| Zopiac | zykotick9: you got it working externally though? I can't get my music to show online | 20:10 |
| bsdunix | HSL: i don't think card is really bad. i had this recover once after resetting everything on controller. they go bonkers at times | 20:10 |
| Felix_Indahouse | anyone here likes turtles | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | Zopiac, yes i had it working externally. | 20:10 |
| HSL | bsdunix: or it's the firware on the drives. | 20:10 |
| HSL | bsdunix: yeah, resetting is not really ideal :-) | 20:11 |
| Zopiac | I can access it (http://zopiac.dyndns-server.com:8888) but cant see my music | 20:11 |
| Zopiac | I have its root folder set for one of my music folders, but nothing is showing. zykotick9, would you be able to help me with this? | 20:11 |
| bsdunix | HSL: subtle hint; R1-soft | 20:11 |
| jnsl_ | can i list all unix groups on the system ?' | 20:12 |
| zykotick9 | Zopiac, probably not. but have you tried restarting the server? "sudo /etc/init.d/gnump3d restart" sorta thing? | 20:12 |
| HSL | bsdunix: whut? | 20:12 |
| Zopiac | zykotick9: yeah I have, still nothing. Even trying just "gnump3d --root=/path/to/music" doesn't work. | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | Zopiac, sorry it's been too long, I simply don't recall. Best of luck. | 20:13 |
| Zopiac | zykotick9: all right, thanks anyways | 20:13 |
| bsdunix | HSL: i have since implemented xenserver/gluster and i no longer worry about loss of data from failure like this. R1-soft backup solution. pretty good stuff | 20:14 |
| HSL | bsdunix: yeah I was thinking of getting rid of my server and get 4-5 VPS servers | 20:14 |
| edbian | HSL: 4-5 virtual private server servers huh | 20:15 |
| aswift | ok my laptop is fine, I am using to communicate here therefore internet is fine. The asus eeepc 1005ha keeps losing the wireless connection whilst I am using scp even though it is less than 3m from the router. I no longer have internet access on the netbook until I reboot it... | 20:15 |
| edbian | aswift: As a work around you can try removing the module and reinserting it using modprobe -r and modprobe commands | 20:16 |
| HSL | edbian: -servers :P | 20:17 |
| Zopiac | zykotick9: ah, I was able to get it. huzzah! | 20:17 |
| zykotick9 | Zopiac, nice :) | 20:17 |

| dyjodapa | Hi, I said of a issue earlier of a issue with a blinking cursor then the computer shut down. I aquired the RAM Specs it is 1GB Ram. What else could be wrong. The Computer is a Toshiba A215-S7422. | 20:45 |
| usr13 | melanie_: Yea. I don't know. If you ask is gimp or firefox a linux native app? How would you answer? I don't think "linux native app" really has any meaning. | 20:45 |
| zykotick9 | jnsl_, careful! you need "usermod -aG ..." that -a is VERY important | 20:45 |

| sous | slacker: If I connect the device itself. it tries to have priority and fails | 20:46 |
| |Slacker| | sous: hmm...are you in a different computer? so we can do some testing? | 20:46 |
| jnsl_ | zykotick9 that gives me same error: sudo; unable to resolve host <myhostname here> | 20:46 |
| melanie_ | usr13: d'accord! | 20:46 |
| aswift | thanks everyone for your help. I have eventually managed to copy my files. It appears that the problem is that I can't have multiple scp open at once. I was trying to scp simultaneously from my laptop and my netbook... | 20:46 |
| sous | slacker: ok just 1 sec | 20:46 |
| |Slacker| | :) | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | jnsl_, if you changed your hostname, you probably broke sudo! you need to change both the /etc/hostname AND /etc/hosts - they MUST match! | 20:47 |
| Mrokii | usr13: Well, I can listen to music via the soundcard, so yes. My problem is that I have a headset and only the mic doesn't work, which I wanted to set via alsamixer | 20:47 |
| jnsl_ | <zykotick9> ahhh thanks a lot :) that was the case! ill remember that | 20:47 |
| zykotick9 | !hostname | jnsl_ | 20:48 |
| ubottu | jnsl_: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 20:48 |

| melanie_ | Mrokii: it might also be helpful to figure out if you could reproduce such a 'hang' behaviour with one of the alsa command line utils (the non-interactive ones i mean) | 20:51 |

| Mrokii | usr13: That wouldn't be a good idea because it would deinstall ubuntu-desktop | 20:54 |

| === miki is now known as wrongturn | ||

| souss | slacker: ill check | 20:57 |
| |Slacker| | souss: okies | 20:57 |
| |Slacker| | souss: one more question, when did you upgrade? | 20:58 |
| souss | slacker: couple of days ago | 20:58 |
| souss | slacker: worked fine on maverick | 20:58 |
| |Slacker| | souss: ah ok...and you've rebooted since then I believe | 20:58 |
| melanie_ | Mrokii: in that case the log would point you in the direction of the crash | 20:58 |

| |Slacker| | gimme a sec | 21:01 |
| souss | slacker: rt2870sta? | 21:01 |
| sieson | does anyone know what does this command mean "sudo su - releaseuser"? specifically what is the dash ? | 21:01 |
| |Slacker| | souss: guess so | 21:02 |
| melanie_ | sieson: i think it starts a login shell, no? | 21:02 |
| souss | slacker: does my adapter have to be plugged in? | 21:02 |
| |Slacker| | souss: it helps | 21:02 |
| |Slacker| | :) | 21:02 |
| dr_willis | sieson, su - means to run somtning as root.. but that command is redundant.. sudo su, is redundant. :) | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | sieson, "su -" means switch user the - means, fake a login | 21:02 |
| melanie_ | sieson: at least this dash notation i remember from 'login' | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sieson: dash is the thing which shows when you press SuperL (Windows key) | 21:02 |
| dr_willis | :) | 21:02 |
| souss | ya it is | 21:02 |
| souss | slacker: i just googled it | 21:03 |
| |Slacker| | ok | 21:03 |
| dr_willis | sieson, sudo releaseuser would be the same thing.. basically | 21:03 |
| |Slacker| | souss: let's try reloading the module ok: | 21:03 |
| |Slacker| | souss: sudo rmmod modulename then sudo modprobe modulename | 21:03 |
| sieson | zykotick9: what do you mean by fake a login? is that the same as switch a user? | 21:03 |
| jnsl_ | ughh im logged in as root on my server, but i cant edit /etc/sudoers, it says readonly | 21:04 |
| jnsl_ | l | 21:04 |
| sieson | dr_willis: right, thanks | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | sieson, as an example (don't do this) "su -" would log in as root, with root environment and into root home folder. Using "su" would just switch to root user in current directly with the origional user's environment. | 21:04 |
| jnsl_ | what should i chmod sudoers to ? | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | jnsl_, try sudo visudo | 21:05 |
| souss | slacker: it just worked without reloading the module | 21:05 |
| souss | slacker: it worked randomly | 21:05 |
| |Slacker| | souss: did it connect? | 21:05 |
| Mrokii | melanie_: Sorry, computer crashed. I'll have a look at the tracelog | 21:05 |
| jnsl_ | BluesKaj same, im thinking i need to chmod it ? -r--r----- 1 root root 674 2010-12-25 06:54 sudoers | 21:05 |
| sieson | zykotick9: ah right, thanks for the clarification | 21:05 |
| souss | slacker: ya. how can we troubleshoot while its working | 21:05 |
| |Slacker| | souss: that's a good question :p I'm just a humble user with some minor advanced skills, but apparently it was a module problem | 21:06 |
| |Slacker| | souss: now reboot and see if it connects | 21:06 |
| souss | slacker: what does lsmod do because it fixed it | 21:06 |
| melanie_ | Mrokii: damnit! :-/ | 21:06 |
| |Slacker| | souss: lsmod only lists the active modules | 21:07 |
| souss | slacker: hmm? | 21:07 |
| |Slacker| | souss: rmmod removes it and modprobe loads it | 21:07 |
| mauro1982 | hi | 21:07 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: su is super user. su - someother-user would switch you to someother-user | 21:08 |
| dr_willis | I thought su was 'switch user' | 21:08 |
| dr_willis | su - was the default to switch to root. | 21:08 |
| fagel | I have A SSD disc with 12gb free. Still when I start after grub it tells med hd0 out of discspace press any key to continue. How do I get rid of this message? | 21:08 |
| usr13 | su - change user ID or become superuser | 21:08 |
| dr_willis | 'su -' = 'su - root' but its not to be used on Ubuntu. :) so we better hush hush.. | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: su is switch user, without a username it assumes root | 21:09 |
| souss | slacker: it works | 21:09 |
| usr13 | dr_willis: Yes, su - with no further argument means switch to superuser | 21:09 |
| |Slacker| | souss: guess we've solved it uh | 21:09 |
| souss | slacker: I guess so? | 21:09 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Actually, it is superuser not root, but same priviledges, so essentually same in a way. | 21:09 |
| socket | is er een nederlandse chat hier? | 21:09 |
| jnsl_ | aghhhghgh when i edit /etc/sudoers with vim or visudo it says readonly :S | 21:10 |
| |Slacker| | souss: I guess so, either..I believe it was some module weirdness | 21:10 |
| souss | slacker: I just disconnected the usb and it disconnected. | 21:10 |
| zykotick9 | dr_willis, su is switch user | 21:10 |
| jnsl_ | as root !! | 21:10 |
| souss | slacker: success? | 21:10 |
| |Slacker| | souss: guess so | 21:10 |

| Somelauw | socket: #ubuntu-nl | 21:10 |
| |Slacker| | souss: connect it again and see if it works | 21:10 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: the man page says superuser too :) | 21:10 |
| Jensit | Try #ubuntu-nl | 21:10 |

| souss | slacker: I did. and to a different port even! | 21:10 |
| |Slacker| | souss: success? | 21:11 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: It is different because logging in as root is one thing and switching to superuser is another thing. | 21:11 |
| souss | slacker:yep | 21:11 |
| |Slacker| | souss: cool, dude! enjoy your wifi then :p | 21:11 |

| Jordan_U | fagel: The error message "out of disk" is not reffering to disk space. It means that a read was attempted past the end of the disk.

| stef__ | for what its worth, man lsattr solved my problem, file was set immutable :( | 21:45 |
| h3ll0W0rld | quit | 21:45 |
| goddard | how can i change the grub color | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | natschil: it overwrites the old with the new | 21:47 |
| goddard | purple isn't manly ;d | 21:47 |
| melanie_ | natschil: depends | 21:47 |
| melanie_ | natschil: for 'configuration files' backups of the old file are usually created. other files get replaced. | 21:48 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| bigtom21485 | how do i get 10.10 x64 to have flash and mp3 capability? | 21:48 |
| natschil | melanie_: ActionParsnip: so If I want some file do definately keep some changes I make to it, what would be the best way to do so even that the changes survive any minor updates... patch the file on every update? | 21:49 |
| melanie_ | natschil: what file are we talking about? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bigtom21485: there is a PPA with 64bit flash if you want | 21:49 |
| === Ramses_ is now known as Ramses__ | ||
| natschil | melanie_: say /etc/init.d/somescript. | 21:49 |
| natschil | melanie_: say I wanted to make it do something before it does something else. | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | natschil: not sure there dude | 21:50 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: Any files in /etc/ which have been modified by the user should, by debian policy, never be overrwritten without user consent. | 21:50 |
| bigtom21485 | actionparsnip: can you remind me how to go about doing that? | 21:50 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: what about /lib/ ? | 21:50 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: thanks. | 21:51 |
| bigtom21485 | and this time im gunna write it down in case i have to do another computer install | 21:51 |
| natschil | ActionParsnip: I can create a patch that has my changes, my q | 21:51 |
| natschil | uestion is how to make that persistent. | 21:51 |
| melanie_ | natschil: for /lib there's no such policy, i _think_. | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: That said, you will usually be prompted on every package update which modifies that file if you want to replace the file, keep the current one, try a merge etc. | 21:52 |
| melanie_ | natschil: actually the clean solution would be to add some kind of 'hook'-mechanism to allow for your situation, if it makes sense. | 21:52 |
| melanie_ | Jordan_U: but that is only for configuration files, no? | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: Files in /lib/ I believe will always be replaced, unless you use dpkg-divert to explicitly prevent that for a given file. | 21:52 |
| dyjodapa | Hi, I am trying to help one of my friends recover some files. He says everytime he tries to boot up all he gets is a blinking cursor then the PC shuts down. Windows crashed so that is why I am trying to recover these files the computer has 1 GB RAM and the Computer is a Toshiba A215-S7422. Please help ASAP. | 21:52 |
| natschil | melanie_: Jordan_U: yese, probably something like that. I mean the user may not know what to choose, and it would suck if security updates were not applied just to keep my minimal changes to the file. | 21:52 |
| goddard | purple isn't manly ;d | 21:52 |
| goddard | how can i change the grub color | 21:52 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: What is your actual problem? | 21:53 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: I see, dpkg-divert may be my friend. let me look at the man page. | 21:53 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: that I have a modification to a file in /lib/ that is essential to the system, but that I still want security updates to be appliable to the file, for example. | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: Please describe your exact situation in detail. | 21:55 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: that is my exact situation. Take it as a premise that I need to modify a script in /lib, and that these modifications need to be persistent, and that I am now wondering about how security updates can still be applied. | 21:56 |
| natschil | http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14446548 | 21:56 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: What file in /lib needs to be modified, how, and why? | 21:56 |
| sudokill | thats a nice image | 21:56 |
| ChristopherNG | Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on? | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | natschil: how is that ubuntu related? | 21:57 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: that is irrelevant. | 21:57 |
| natschil | ActionParsnip: because I need to know how the ubuntu packaging system deals with things like that so I can solve this problem. | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | natschil: solve rioting in london with a package, good luck | 21:58 |

| Bookman | I just installed a new nvidia card and the nvidia acclerated graphics driver (version 173). I restarted my computer and now the Additional Drivers program says that the drivers are installed but not in use. | 21:59 |
| sudokill | Bookman- i think thats a bug | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: what nvidia chip is it? | 22:00 |
| edbian | Bookman: that stupid gui is very buggy | 22:00 |
| sudokill | Bookman- try glxgears youll know if its nouveau or not | 22:00 |
| Bookman | ActionParsnip, Geforce 6200 | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: what is the output of: lsb_release -d | 22:01 |
| Bookman | sudokill, glxgears gives about 800 fps | 22:01 |
| lilcyber | Hey | 22:02 |
| sudokill | hmm maybe its nvidia, i cant tell with a 6200 tbh | 22:02 |
| sudokill | nouveau gives me 1200 with gtx 460 | 22:02 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: ok. Imagine that I am modifying /lib/bridge-utils/bridge-utils.sh to include a line at the start that logs something. I want this line at the start to stay there despite security updates. | 22:02 |
| ActionParsnip | I use a 6200 and its fine :) | 22:02 |
| sudokill | and 19500 with nvidia | 22:02 |
| Bookman | ActionParsnip, what is your glxgears fps? | 22:02 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: log what? | 22:02 |
| tripelb | sorry to be so thick. what's the PDF Viewer from which I can copy text. Thanks so much! | 22:02 |
| ctmjr | Bookman, open a terminal and type sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot again if it say's command not found run sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig | 22:02 |
| sudokill | tripelb- evince? epdfview | 22:03 |
| sudokill | both can copy paste | 22:03 |
| tripelb | evince didnt do it. I tried selecting it but no. I thought it did sudokill. | 22:03 |
| sudokill | tripelb- you sure its not a scanned pdf? | 22:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: 954 | 22:04 |
| === sandok45 is now known as adaggIO45 | ||
| bigtom21485 | actionparsnip: where would i found a 64 bit repo? | 22:04 |
| bigtom21485 | *the | 22:04 |
| Bookman | ActionParsnip, then maybe it is running. | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: what is the output of the command I gave please | 22:04 |
| sudokill | tripelb- my bad, i cant copy either i thought you could | 22:04 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: say whenever the script was run. say it simply ran echo "The script was run" >> /var/log/some_file somewhere in the middle. sorry that I am not able to give you the exact problem, but I have my reasons for doing so. | 22:04 |
| chi | hello, I am having issues getting grub/grub2 installed on a software RAID1 from ubuntu server 10.04. I get the following error: Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. | 22:04 |
| sudokill | lack of pdf knowledge | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bigtom21485: omgubuntu reported it | 22:04 |
| Guest3258 | Hey all :D | 22:04 |
| daan4711 | Hi Guest! | 22:04 |
| tripelb | sudokill, it's called Dutch with Ease. BTW what's a scanned pdf. - I found a site that will pronounce dutch with a choice of voices. I was stoked then "stop" | 22:04 |
| sudokill | tripelb- i mean scanned with a scanner ie not actual text | 22:05 |
| Jordan_U | natschil: 1: As long as you are starting your question with "Say I want to do X", rather than "I actually am trying to do X" I think you are missing the point. 2: I need to leave now. | 22:05 |
| edbian | :P | 22:05 |
| tripelb | Guest3258, the command /nick YourNewChoice will change your nick | 22:05 |
| sudokill | tripelb- is that just temp until you login again? | 22:06 |
| sudokill | never tried it.. | 22:06 |
| chi | no ideas eh? | 22:06 |
| tripelb | sudokill I never heard of that. I suppose now that I dont understand how pdf works. You might be right. | 22:06 |
| iceroot | what package is holding the printer-driver? with ubuntu-desktop my system can use the printer, with lubuntu-desktop there is no driver found for the printer | 22:06 |
| daan4711 | iceroot: cu | 22:07 |
| daan4711 | iceroot: cups | 22:07 |
| bigtom21485 | actionparsnip: what about mp3's? | 22:07 |
| sudokill | tripelb- im not sure. i literally only have one pdf file and i use epdfview. i cant copy text either, and i dont think its scanned in im 99% sure its not | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | chi: you gave the channel all of 120 seconds to answer, give them a chance | 22:07 |
| natschil | Jordan_U: look if you dont know the answer to the specific problem I have then that's fine, I do not want a way to solve the general problem, but a way to solve the specific problem of a small change to a script in /lib/ to be persistent even if there is a security update that changes the script. thanks for the help though. | 22:07 |
| sudokill | tripelb- so nio idea sorry | 22:07 |
| Guest3258 | tripelb, Ya about that, I set the stupid thing in empathy, but it keeps choosing another name everytime I log on. How do I make it permanent? | 22:07 |
| iceroot | daan4711: dkpg -l cups == ii | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | bigtom21485: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and you will be able to playMP3s | 22:08 |
| tripelb | sudokill I lost context. what do you mean, is that just temp until you login again? You mean the namechange? Your original nick is primed by whatever is in your login software. watch me change. | 22:08 |
| iceroot | daan4711: so there must be another package | 22:08 |
| chi | ActionParsnip, sorry things scroll so fast here I'm not sure anyone even saw it | 22:08 |

| tripleb | Guest3258, tell me how you get into irc. I use 10.04 are you in Ubuntu 11.04 ? (I am in Lucid, 11.04 is Natty) I use xchat for IRC. I cant tell you about Empathy. Pidgin was standard before Lucid | 22:10 |
| ChristopherNG | Im trying to make a persistent usb stick using the start up disk creator but its not letting me allocate space to the usb drive thus no persistence, anyone know whats going on? | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: I recommed you remove that driver and install nvidia-current you should get the 270 driver | 22:12 |
| tripleb | Guest3258, I would guess that somehow you are not saving the setting for the nick. --- I also suggest that you go into terminal and do -- sudo apt-get install xchat2 -- this is my choice for ease. | 22:12 |

| ActionParsnip | ChristopherNG: usb disk creator doesn't make a persistent install | 22:12 |
| ChristopherNG | ActionParsnip: start up disk creator | 22:13 |
| urlin2u | ActionParsnip, it used to has it changed? | 22:13 |
| Guest3258 | tripleb, I use 10.10 Ubuntu. I log into IRC through Empathy by: Room - Join. . . . . | 22:13 |
| ChristopherNG | ActionParsnip: Start up disk creator does allow persistent install | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | looks like it does | 22:14 |
| tripleb | sudokill, the program that you use to get into irc (pidgin, mibbit, xchat, and others I never used yet) is what sets the nick you have when you initiate irc and sign into the server. I would guess that somehow you are not saving the setting for the nick. --- I also suggest that you go into terminal and do -- sudo apt-get install xchat2 -- this is my choice for ease. sudokill | 22:15 |
| tripleb | sudokill (amendmended: I would guess that someone who fails at that having the nick they want at login is not _saving_ the setting for the nick inside of the program that gets her or him onto IRC. | 22:16 |
| tripleb | sudokill, I copied text to guest-whatever which made what I told you awkward | 22:17 |
| tripleb | sudokill, look I found something. maybe I can do it anyway. thanks for telling me about "scanned text". http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=scanned+pdf | 22:20 |

| mASOUD_42 | ChristopherNG, what do you exacly mean by 'presistence'? | 22:23 |
| Bookman | ActionParsnip, I'm pretty sure the driver is indeed working. Unity is working fine. Compiz is working great. Sysinfo program shows that the driver is running as well. Must be a problem with the Additional Drivers program. | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Bookman: if it's working then I'd go with it :) | 22:25 |
| tainted | herro | 22:25 |
| Bookman | Now, I do have one other unsolved issue. Ubuntu does not seem to recognise one of my SATA hard drives. It started once in awhile, but a reboot would work. Now not at all. | 22:26 |
| tjiggi_fo | ChristopherNG, just install ubuntu to your USB stick. To be safe I disconnected my HDD and installed to the USB and everything works fine. | 22:26 |

| silverarrow | I have a newly installed lubuntu, and updates ruined it completely | 22:50 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, can you be specific? | 22:50 |
| urlin2u | you mentioned grub for example. | 22:50 |
| alexThunder | JohnnyZero: that's correct | 22:51 |
| JohnnyZero | I see | 22:52 |
| silverarrow | usually grub is a hardly noticeable start up process, but now I am stuck in a black screen at bootup with the text "minimal bash line suported" or something like that, and a grub number | 22:52 |
| alexThunder | usually it's asking for your password, doesn't it? | 22:52 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, does it make any sense? | 22:52 |
| madprops | ubuntu 11.04 GeForce GTS 360M installed nvidia driver it says = this driver is activated but not currently in use ? | 22:52 |

| urlin2u | silverarrow, can you still boot in or are you locked out? | 22:53 |
| JohnnyZero | Is it supposed to? | 22:53 |

| dinkyd00 | I've got a couple quick questions .. first, how do I connect to the irc through my vpn? -- 2) how do I disable sudo so that I can have scripts run admin commands? | 22:59 |
| JohnnyZero | Yes | 22:59 |
| JohnnyZero | I can install | 22:59 |
| JohnnyZero | But | 23:00 |
| JohnnyZero | Thats a silly way of doing it | 23:00 |
| JohnnyZero | Go to Software Sources just to have a password popup | 23:00 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u GNU GRUB version 1)) rc1-13ubuntu minimal BASH like line editing is supported. For the first word TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAV lists possible device or file completions. grub_ | 23:00 |

| urlin2u | silverarrow, did you install startup manager | 23:00 |
| silverarrow | does the message make any sense urlin2u. If I don´t do the update after first boot up, it will work fine | 23:01 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, well I only used the default installation process from CD | 23:01 |
| silverarrow | and update manager | 23:01 |
| yuka | :S cant get gfx drivers to install, automatic driver tool dont detect my card, and when i run the driver from official nvidia site it says unsupported driver | 23:01 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, can you get into the OS? | 23:01 |
| JohnnyZero | The problem is exactly what mausoud_42 said it was. The password prompt is not appearing before I got to install something. | 23:02 |
| silverarrow | no, I only get this black screen message at bootup urlin2u | 23:02 |
| JohnnyZero | However if you hit software sources the password prompt does pop up and you can then install stuff | 23:02 |
| prodriver | hey | 23:02 |
| prodriver | :) | 23:03 |
| yuka | i am already here | 23:03 |
| yuka | :) | 23:03 |
| yuka | dont repeat | 23:03 |
| prodriver | yuka did you ask'em allready? | 23:03 |
| prodriver | :) | 23:03 |
| yuka | yea | 23:03 |
| FloodBot1 | yuka: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:03 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, boot the install cd and run this script and pastebin the generated file. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 23:03 |
| prodriver | haha | 23:03 |
| edbian | yuka: you talk to fast | 23:03 |
| yuka | edbian yeah i know | 23:03 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, I have suspicion something goes wrong with a grub update package, but it is not a one tine fluke, more like really faulty | 23:03 |
| alexThunder | JohnnyZero: at least we could nail down the problem, so i guess googling for "ubuntu software center not asking for password" or something similar would do the job | 23:04 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, stranger things have happened but the bootscript will get us farther along | 23:04 |
| prodriver | he could give you the password, it's pointless virtual machine anyway | 23:04 |
| prodriver | :D | 23:04 |
| prodriver | if he had sshd running | 23:05 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, thanks, I shall reboot right away | 23:05 |
| JohnnyZero | Oh wait | 23:05 |
| JohnnyZero | AlexThunder I was wrong | 23:05 |
| JohnnyZero | I was hitting remove | 23:05 |
| JohnnyZero | No even after typing in the password in Software Sources it still will not install items | 23:05 |
| JohnnyZero | It will only remove them | 23:06 |
| JohnnyZero | and that is just 7Zip too it can remove | 23:06 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, but how do I make the live CD reach the already installed os on hard disk? | 23:06 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, did you see the link I posted? | 23:06 |
| silverarrow | yes, I am studying it | 23:07 |
| alexThunder | and before you hit "software sources" it wouldnt even remove things? | 23:07 |
| alexThunder | JohnnyZero | 23:07 |
| JohnnyZero | AlexThunder it gives me the prompt only for 7zip am I sure I want to remove this | 23:07 |
| JohnnyZero | But nothing else | 23:07 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, just download the script drag it to the desk top and run the bash command sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh | 23:07 |
| gry | silverarrow: It would be able to mount and read existing data. | 23:07 |
| JohnnyZero | I wish I could do a screen record somehow | 23:08 |
| JohnnyZero | and then show you the prob I'm kinda having | 23:08 |
| urlin2u | JohnnyZero, prtsc key | 23:08 |
| JohnnyZero | urlin2u, that will show you the screen | 23:08 |
| JohnnyZero | The problem I believe is that | 23:08 |
| JohnnyZero | Its not authorizing a password before an install | 23:09 |
| JohnnyZero | Synaptic does this | 23:09 |
| urlin2u | JohnnyZero, it takes a screen shot, you can then imagebin it. | 23:09 |
| JohnnyZero | and I can install anything in synaptic | 23:09 |
| JohnnyZero | Ok urlin2u | 23:09 |
| silverarrow | urlin2u, I shall logon from xchat in the live cd, then I don´t have to run from library to kitchen, to check between computers | 23:10 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, good idea.;0 | 23:10 |
| urlin2u | 0 | 23:10 |
| JohnnyZero | http://imagebin.org/167013 | 23:11 |
| JohnnyZero | You can see install is being clicked and nothing is occuring | 23:11 |
| JohnnyZero | No windows are popping up, nothing | 23:11 |
| urlin2u | JohnnyZero, will that particular app install fro synaptic? | 23:12 |
| JohnnyZero | urlin2u, yes | 23:12 |
| urlin2u | strange | 23:12 |

| MACscr | yuka: post your actual error | 23:13 |
| MACscr | we cant help without info\ | 23:13 |
| yuka | MACscr.. i start virtual box | 23:14 |
| MACscr | and expect to get slapped next time you shout like that | 23:14 |
| JohnnyZero | urlin2u, yes | 23:14 |
| yuka | I start virtual box, with ubuntu 11.04, and i get the red screen, doesent come to login.. it happened after i tried to install gfx driver for nvidia, and startx | 23:14 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as sliverarrow | ||
| JohnnyZero | I believe maybe yes it may have something to do with how its functioning however, even if I try to reinstall the software center the same issues keep occuring | 23:15 |
| sliverarrow | urlin2u; I am afraid I lost the bash paste link | 23:15 |
| urlin2u | yuka, start VB holding down any key and see if you get a grub menu? | 23:15 |
| Guest67603 | how do i get mp3 for k3b? | 23:15 |
| MACscr | yuka: is this a new system? | 23:16 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 23:16 |
| yuka | urlin2u ftw | 23:16 |
| yuka | :) | 23:16 |
| yuka | now i got to the recovery menu | 23:16 |
| sliverarrow | oh, thank you :-) | 23:16 |
| pgrace_ | does anyone here know where banshee stores library/playlist/radio station data? | 23:16 |
| urlin2u | yuka, hit edit and replace splash with nomodeset hit crtl-x to boot | 23:16 |
| ejv | pgrace_, .banshee ? | 23:17 |
| pgrace_ | ejv: doesnt appear to be. | 23:17 |
| urlin2u | yuka, might have to use recovery depending on the keys be used by the host or guest. | 23:17 |
| yuka | how can i come to edit | 23:18 |
| ejv | pgrace_, try .config/banshee-1 | 23:18 |
| yuka | there is options only for normal boot 2.6.38-10 generic , or recovery | 23:18 |
| prodriver | does anybody know why in yuka's case graphic card doesn't get detected by that automated searched -> Hardware Drivers | 23:18 |
| K-Rich | wish me luck, first time cooking lamb | 23:18 |
| prodriver | or something simillar on 11.04 | 23:18 |
| urlin2u | yuka, e at the grub menu will bring you to a edit option. | 23:18 |
| pgrace_ | ejv: ah... the data is in banshee.db... | 23:19 |
| urlin2u | prodriver, yuka is in a virtual not really exactly relevant. | 23:19 |
| ejv | pgrace_, right that means its sqlite driven most likely | 23:19 |
| prodriver | I know. | 23:19 |
| yuka | urlin2u : in edit i see setparams etc recordfail and so on no splash | 23:19 |
| pgrace_ | ejv: sqlite. bleh. | 23:19 |
| prodriver | but the Hardware devices searcher doesn't detects the nvidia drivers to install | 23:20 |
| prodriver | gpu is not recognized | 23:20 |
| yuka | ah ok i see quiet splash vt.handoff=7 is that what i need to replace with what you said? | 23:20 |
| pgrace_ | ejv: thanks for the help, I guess I'll need to find a sqlite interface to mass import the records. Thanks! | 23:20 |
| urlin2u | yuka, replace the no splash with nomodeset you will boot in in low graphics no graphic driver. | 23:20 |
| ejv | pgrace_, my pleasure | 23:20 |
| ejv | pgrace_, chances are someone has done it, when in doubt google | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | prodriver: When running as a guest the OS doesn't have access to the nvidia card, only Virtualbox's virtual GPU. | 23:21 |
| yuka | i am owner of this virtual | 23:21 |
| prodriver | lol | 23:21 |
| yuka | no guest | 23:21 |
| prodriver | no I own your box yuka | 23:21 |
| prodriver | :) | 23:21 |
| urlin2u | Jordan_U, is that the problem yuka is having, that was a asumption on my part at least? | 23:21 |
| pgrace_ | ejv: yeah, lots of people are complaining about the radio stations missing in banshee in 11.04, but it doesnt appear that anyone's come up with a mass-upload process yet. SQLite may be part of the search required to find the answer though. | 23:21 |
| prodriver | lol | 23:21 |
| sliverarrow | urlin2u, I am having touble making terminal finding the zip package? | 23:22 |
| ejv | pgrace_, yea I miss winamp's plethora of stations, the open source alternatives aren't there yet | 23:22 |
| sliverarrow | I downloaded with chromium, and it is in download file I think | 23:22 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow. drag the script to the desktop then run the bash command with desktop in it. | 23:23 |
| yuka | urlin2u ok i done what you said, now instead of a red screen i got a black screen:) | 23:24 |
| urlin2u | yuka, that is about all I know to do. | 23:24 |
| yuka | :) | 23:25 |
| yuka | well guess ill have to run it in recovery then | 23:25 |
| yuka | thanks anyway mate | 23:25 |
| urlin2u | yuka, other then removing the drivers from the recovery cli. | 23:25 |
| sliverarrow | urlin2u, yes, it willingly dropped to desktop, but how to extract? | 23:25 |
| urlin2u | silverarrow, in the terminal run sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh | 23:26 |
| sliverarrow | I am too used to idiot proof wizards | 23:26 |
| urlin2u | me to at times | 23:26 |
| sliverarrow | that is what I am doing, and I get "No such file or directory | 23:27 |
| sliverarrow | " | 23:27 |
| sliverarrow | I might have to extract before I use the command in terminal? | 23:28 |
| urlin2u | sliverarrow, no extraction it is a bash script you downloaded correct? | 23:29 |
| sliverarrow | oh, it works | 23:29 |
| sliverarrow | at least something happens | 23:29 |
| urlin2u | sliverarrow, a text file should appear. | 23:29 |
