| yutani | anyone familiar with scite? | 00:19 |

| Gr33n | well thats the thing i been to those sites | 00:20 |
| KE1HA | Gr33n: what's problem? | 00:20 |
| Syanu | good evening. is there a channel for german support too? | 00:20 |
| Gr33n | i installed ubuntu from cd and in seemed to install fine set 35GB to it and the rest to xp | 00:20 |
| Gr33n | but now its just booting to XP | 00:20 |
| Gr33n | i cant get in to ubuntu | 00:21 |
| KE1HA | Gr33n: was XP installed first? | 00:21 |
| Gr33n | yes | 00:21 |
| yutani | GRUB didn't install? | 00:21 |
| KE1HA | Gr33n: well that's the good news then, all ya need to do is go in and rebuilt Grub2, are you using 11.04? | 00:21 |
| Crys | Let's try again ... I need some advice to get jack sensing working on my HTPC. It's an Ubuntu 11.04 AMD64 box and has an Intel HD Audio (Azalia) with Realtek ALC892 codec. The front panel supports HD audio and jack sensing is working on my secondary Windows 7 installation, too. The front panel works on Linux but plugging in head phones doesn't mute the speakers. | 00:21 |
| JimmyNeutron | Gr33n, boot into Linux single user mode, and issue dd if=/dev/<linux root> of=bootsec.lnx count=1 bs=512 | 00:22 |
| JimmyNeutron | copy the bootsect.lnx onto a USB stick and copy it to C:\ and modify boot.ini | 00:22 |
| Gr33n | sorry i got DC'ed | 00:23 |
| Gr33n | yeah windows XP was installed first | 00:23 |
| Gr33n | I don't think Grub installed because its just booting straight to XP i tried to install unbuntu twice | 00:23 |
| Gr33n | both times it installed without an error | 00:24 |
| KE1HA | Ok, well there's seems to be a diff on how to do this, I use Grub to boot my Win-XP / UB box, and it works well. If it's not installed you cna do that post Ubuntu installation. | 00:24 |
| Crys | Gr33n: do you have two hard disks? maybe you have installed it in the wrong MBR. | 00:24 |
| Gr33n | no just one its a netbook with an external CD drive | 00:24 |
| gmachine_24 | Hi - I am running a Compaq Presario F500 with Ubuntu 10.04.03 LTS. Can someone please give me the CLI commands to release and then renew/reset the wireless network device? Thanks. | 00:25 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: are you using the network manager? | 00:25 |
| adamkex | does ATI on linux do 1080p? | 00:25 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, no. | 00:25 |
| adamkex | smooth video playback | 00:25 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: then it's probably ifdown wlan0 | 00:25 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, could it be eth1? | 00:27 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: "ip list" displays a list of devices and links | 00:27 |
| KE1HA | Hmm looks like Gr33n DC'd again | 00:27 |
| Gr33n | sorry got disconnected again hopefully the last time | 00:27 |
| Gr33n | yeah my install was on just that HD | 00:27 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: it depends on the hardware. try iwconfig or ip link | 00:27 |
| KE1HA | Gr33n: Try this, should doo what your needed: http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2010/06/02/how-to-chroot-to-ubuntu-using-live-cd-to-fix-grub-rescue-prompt/ | 00:28 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, the problem is when I go to Starbucks the computer recognizes the attwifi network but my computer will not connect to it. If I reboot into Windows 7 it connects fine. | 00:28 |
| Gr33n | thank you KE1HA! | 00:28 |
| Gr33n | ill give that a go | 00:28 |
| KE1HA | All that is doing is, using the LiveCD to mount a linux system, then chrooting in then re-sinstalling Grub2 | 00:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, yeah........ no matter which query I use it comes back that eth0 is the hardwire and eth1 is the wireless | 00:29 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: wireless is a tricky beast. You may need to fiddle with wpa_supplicant and lots settings. | 00:29 |
| lapaga | Gr33n: Gr33n just to try something easy - from term type sudo update-grub and see if that does anything | 00:29 |
| KE1HA | lapaga: he can't get into Ubuntu | 00:29 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: Fore desktop users I recommend 11.04 and network manager. It makes life much easier. | 00:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, ok. thanks. I've been doing this for almost 10 years and this is the first time I've ever had trouble connecting at Sbux. | 00:29 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: ah, you are a pro, sorry :) | 00:30 |
| lapaga | well that would make it harder to type that then:) | 00:30 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, which network manager. I tried gnome and then WICD and although they both work fine on my home network neither connects at Sbux. No I am not a pro. | 00:30 |
| Gr33n | lol @ lapaga ;) | 00:31 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, I'm just sort of out of options at the moment. | 00:31 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: there is only one network manager. The gnome tool is just a GUI app to control the network manager daemon. | 00:31 |
| Gr33n | waiting for it to boot in to live mode | 00:31 |
| KE1HA | lapaga: Yeah, he jsut needs to re0nstall grub2 and update, but make sure he's chroot'ed in properly. | 00:31 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, ok. So......... wicd and gnome-network run the same network manager daemon? | 00:31 |
| gmachine_24 | ok, not run, but you know | 00:32 |
| Crys | I don't know anything about wicd, sorry. | 00:32 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, I'm pretty sure it's just a diff GUI. | 00:32 |
| KadirB | hello | 00:32 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, but it has worked at times when I could not connect otherwise | 00:33 |
| Crys | In the past I've configured wpa_supplicant and my networks manually. Nowadays I stick to nm on desktops because it's easier to use and stores the password in the wallet. | 00:33 |
| gmachine_24 | OK - perhaps I am confusing old DOS commands with Linux commands It happens sometimes........ | 00:34 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, thanks for your help. | 00:34 |
| Crys | you are welcome | 00:35 |
| Apocalipse | hello people... | 00:35 |
| JoeR1 | so Ubuntu took a bog old s**t on me that is vaguely reminiscent of the complaint I hear about windows, The Irony of it has not escaped me. | 00:35 |
| JoeR1 | *big | 00:35 |
| Apocalipse | i am having problems with minicom... | 00:35 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: anyway, why are you running LTS on a desktop machine? The latest version has more recent drivers and software which may make your life easier. | 00:35 |
| KadirB | :D | 00:35 |
| KadirB | (L) | 00:35 |
| Apocalipse | can anybody help me? | 00:35 |
| KE1HA | Gr33n: If your around, here's one that is a bit easier to follow: http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/index.php/mini-howtos/howto-reinstall-grub2-on-ubuntu | 00:36 |
| JimmyNeutron | dont ask to ask, just ask | 00:36 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, because I don't like ......... whatever the new desktop is called. and I know I can switch but I am lazyl. | 00:36 |
| Crys | the new gnome thingie. Yeah, I'm a KDE user | 00:36 |
| sudokill | gmachine_24- all you have to do to get rid of the unity bar is go to classic mode | 00:36 |
| sudokill | then its like 10.10 | 00:36 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, ha. Yeah. Plus I have a bunch of multimedia installs configured on this computer which are not always so easy for me to do. | 00:37 |
| Crys | I've moved from fvwm2 to kde about ten years ago or so. | 00:37 |
| gmachine_24 | sudokill, hi. Maybe I will give the live boot version another go. I just hate reinstalling a bunch of software which has in the past given me a headache. | 00:38 |
| induz | is there any program that can search a doc file[resume] in my computer that was modified some 2 months back?? | 00:38 |
| gmachine_24 | I did an upgrade once - after my first install - and swore I would never do another. | 00:38 |
| KadirB | hello | 00:38 |
| Crys | gmachine_24: you have to in 2013 eventually. | 00:39 |
| Crys | IIRC LTS has desktop support for three years. | 00:39 |
| gmachine_24 | Crys, but if my math is correct, that's two years from now | 00:39 |
| gmachine_24 | :) | 00:39 |
| Crys | almost ;) | 00:39 |
| lauratika | i have a problem now when i login i choose ubuntu classic and it loads unity, if choose ubunut classic no fx the it loads as expected (gnome style) but no effects at all... what can be wrong and why ubuntu classic isnt working when selected? | 00:39 |
| JoeR1 | OK, so the symptoms: windows no longer have the min/max/exit controls, the Background doesn't appear, (I'm using Xubuntu) the contextual desktop menu does not appear, many windows cannot be moved once opened, many windows, after being opened, cannot be interacted with, windows no longer "lock" to the sides of the screen | 00:39 |
| sudokill | JoeR1- reinstall lol | 00:40 |
| induz | I have to find my resume on my comp but there seems to be tons of resume.doc on my system... I updated my resume some 2 months back but can not find it | 00:40 |
| JoeR1 | this only happens under my progile and please do not advise me to re-install or setup a new profile | 00:40 |
| induz | is there any way i can locate that file with ;name' and ' Modified date' | 00:41 |

| treyh | nessonic: post your question | 00:55 |
| nessonic | trying to use scp to transfer some files between computers, but I keep getting could not resolve host | 00:55 |
| rypervenche | nessonic: What command are you using? | 00:55 |
| Gruffy | nessonic: what are you using to ssh | 00:56 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | induz: find / -iname '*.doc' -mtime -90 2> /dev/null this will give you all the doc edited within 3 moths. if you can't find it ~ you must have somthing wrong, like you didn't mount the drive ~ it is in USB in your pocket etc. | 00:56 |
| nessonic | I've tried a few, such as "scp myfile myname@myhost: ." | 00:56 |
| treyh | nessonic: can you ping "myhost" | 00:56 |
| rypervenche | nessonic: the man page will tell you how to do it. | 00:56 |
| nutcase_ | does transcoding dvd take as long on ubuntu as its does on wins i never tried before | 00:56 |
| Crys | nessonic: you need to provide a full path after the colon | 00:57 |
| Gruffy | nutcase: It depends on what you use to transcode. | 00:57 |
| Crys | nessonic: user@host:/path/to/directory/ | 00:57 |
| nessonic | I'm able to ping myself | 00:57 |
| nessonic | and I read that the . will make it default to local directory, but I've tried pathnames as well with no luck | 00:57 |
| treyh | can you ping the remote side? | 00:57 |
| KE1HA | can probably pong urself too ... sri couldnt' resist :-) | 00:57 |

| nessonic | I can ping the remote computer | 00:58 |
| rypervenche | nessonic: You put a space in btween the : and ., try it without | 00:58 |
| treyh | nessonic: can you ssh to the remote side? | 00:59 |

| argentico75 | how can I eliminate a spyware from firefox 5? | 00:59 |
| argentico75 | or malware | 00:59 |
| roko | ? | 00:59 |
| treyh | nessonic: scp source-specification destination-specification | 00:59 |
| edbian | argentico75: spyware / malware does not usually install itself in the browser. | 00:59 |
| roko | hola | 00:59 |
| edbian | argentico75: It usually uses the browser to install itself to the system. | 00:59 |
| argentico75 | nno | 00:59 |
| edbian | argentico75: no? | 01:00 |
| nessonic | Also, would I be able to ssh if port 22 is closed? I've quadruple checked it in router settings according to a couple guides, but network utility on my mac claims it's closed | 01:00 |
| Gruffy | nessonic: Try going to your Ubuntu partition and using the file browser itself to ssh. | 01:00 |
| argentico75 | maybe some of the extensions | 01:00 |
| RudyValencia | My PC's BIOS (er, EFI actually) uses the "Fixed 16px" console font :O | 01:00 |
| Gruffy | I did this yesterday with my iphone and it works beautifully | 01:00 |
| argentico75 | forecast bar, adblock plus, user switcher agent | 01:00 |
| edbian | argentico75: Look at your extensions. If they are from the official firefox add-ons website they are almost def not malicious | 01:00 |
| edbian | argentico75: None of those are malicious | 01:00 |
| argentico75 | yes, official | 01:00 |
| edbian | argentico75: What are you asking? | 01:01 |
| nessonic | Tried scp without the space before the period, same luck | 01:01 |
| induz | is there any graphical program on ubuntu to locate a doc file that as modified last month | 01:01 |
| argentico75 | I erased all in /.mozilla/firefox | 01:01 |
| argentico75 | also the extensions | 01:01 |
| treyh | nessonic: sounds like the port is closed | 01:01 |
| argentico75 | and Its the sae | 01:01 |
| argentico75 | same | 01:01 |
| KE1HA | or the port is not actually on 22 | 01:01 |
| nessonic | treyh: would that only block file transfers? or the whole ssh? I figured it was open because I was able to ssh in | 01:01 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | induz: like i said the list is the file named *.doc which edited within past 3 months ~ .... the resume should be in the list | 01:01 |
| treyh | argentico75: ever user or just yours? | 01:01 |
| nessonic | the sshd_config says to listen on 22 | 01:02 |
| Gruffy | KE1HA might be right. | 01:02 |
| argentico75 | I tried with the web page .com and also .com.ar and is the same | 01:02 |
| Gruffy | :p | 01:02 |
| argentico75 | mine | 01:02 |
| argentico75 | my laptop. anyone touch it | 01:02 |
| edbian | argentico75: What is 'the same' What is the problem? | 01:02 |
| treyh | nessonic: specify the port, -P 22 | 01:02 |
| lauratika | argentico75; what is the question? | 01:02 |
| induz | wildbat_semi_afk, I see a list of files after inserting the command but how can i locate the file | 01:02 |
| nessonic | same issue | 01:02 |
| induz | its somewhere in the system | 01:02 |
| argentico75 | it opens the web page of google translation and two other tabs, one about "virus in your PC" and another blank | 01:03 |
| induz | wildbat_semi_afk, YOUR COMMAND IS RIGHT BUT I LACK THE KNOWLEDGE OF INTERPRETING THE COMMAND LINE TO LOCATE THE FILE | 01:03 |
| induz | sorry for Caps | 01:03 |
| induz | wildbat_semi_afk, sorry for caps | 01:03 |
| treyh | nessonic: try using sftp instead | 01:03 |
| lauratika | argentico75: what browser you use? | 01:03 |
| argentico75 | I happens when I put this direction as home page and open a new instance: http://translate.google.com.ar/#es|en| | 01:04 |
| edbian | induz: hahaha | 01:04 |
| argentico75 | firefox5 on ubuntu 11.04 | 01:04 |
| induz | edbian, I am nervous as i can not find my file | 01:04 |
| argentico75 | also with http://translate.google.com/#es|en| (not .com.ar) | 01:04 |
| lauratika | do you try with another wbe broswer? | 01:04 |
| nessonic | treyh: gives same error, but adds "couldn't read packet: connection reset by peer" | 01:04 |
| treyh | nessonic: whats the error, connection refused? | 01:04 |
| edbian | argentico75: The official language for #ubuntu is english. I recommend you use the channel for your first language | 01:05 |
| induz | edbian, pl dont make fun of me | 01:05 |
| KE1HA | nessonic: just making sure, this is the format your using correct? : scp <file> <username>@<IP address or hostname>:<Destination> | 01:05 |
| edbian | induz: What file? I can help you find it :) | 01:05 |
| nessonic | yes, is the username at IP my local (the machine I'm on now) or the remote one where I'm getting the file> | 01:05 |
| edbian | induz: I'm not making fun of you. I just thought the accidental yelling was humorous | 01:05 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | induz: lol~ that's all we can help ~ as per your discription ~ the find didn't hit ~ . open the document editor and hope that it is in the recently opened list :> | 01:05 |
| wasanzy | I have been task to write down a backup system plan, and in fact, for more than three hours now, I have just been thinking on where to start with no idea coming in my head, please who can help me with ideas, at least on how to start? | 01:05 |
| treyh | nessonic: remote username | 01:05 |
| wasanzy | for the software, I will advice them to use backuppc | 01:05 |
| argentico75 | Im writing in english and anyone is in the spanish channel | 01:05 |
| KE1HA | nessonic: you ahve to tell it what file to copy and where to put it on the other end. | 01:06 |
| treyh | localhost# scp local-file user@remotemachine:remote-file | 01:06 |
| dr_willis | !backup | wasanzy | 01:06 |
| jgeli | anyone? | 01:06 |
| ubottu | wasanzy: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 01:06 |
| jgeli | need help /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a disk with multiple partition labels or both partition label and filesystem. This is not supported yet - what does this mean and how do I fix it? | 01:06 |
| lauratika | edbian: why are you senindg some one to another channel if he is using english, read the issue | 01:06 |
| edbian | wasanzy: your backup plan: cp -r / /path/to/some/other/hdd/ | 01:06 |
| KE1HA | nessonic: and if either of them are wrong / do not exist, it will fail to execute. | 01:06 |
| nessonic | This time it asked for a password, then said "your/directory: no such file or directory" | 01:07 |
| edbian | lauratika: I can't understand him. | 01:07 |
| nessonic | with your/directory being where I want it on my local mac | 01:07 |
| treyh | nessonic: paste the command so we can advise | 01:07 |
| edbian | argentico75: What is the problem? | 01:07 |
| nessonic | scp macaddress ness@nessmain:/Users/toby | 01:07 |
| lauratika | that does not mean he is not using english and the problem is what and how he is explaining not that his english it's bad | 01:07 |
| lauratika | the fact that you dont understand the question is absolutely no reason to send him to another channel | 01:08 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, you do have the case of 'Users' correct? linux is case senesetive. | 01:08 |
| wasanzy | thank you both, am actually not looking for the command to use, but some thing like project plan, which they call backup and recovery plan or some thing | 01:08 |
| KE1HA | nessonic: no, when you opent he terminal, you need to cd to where the file is, or specify the full path like: ~/uploads/some-file-name.doc and the destination path must also exist lile /home/some-username/upolads | 01:08 |
| treyh | nessonic: try this: scp macaddress toby@nessmain:macaddress | 01:08 |
| nessonic | dr_willis: yes | 01:08 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | induz: are you sure it is not in external drive etc? have you email it ,if so check your SENT box? unless you wanna let ppl ssh in you PC and help the search (risking stealing your info , install virus maybe ;p j/k ) , that all i can help. | 01:09 |
| edbian | wasanzy: My point is that backup does not need to be a complicated thing. Just make a copy of everything and put it on some other hdd. | 01:09 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, oddly named directory.. I alwaya have to double check scp syntax - scp myfile.txt user@myserver.com:/tmp/mydir | 01:09 |
| nessonic | the directory is on my mac, where mac has every directory capitalized | 01:10 |
| edbian | induz: wildbat_semi_afk what file are we searching for? | 01:10 |
| farty_pants | HI | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, you could ssh into the remote box. cd to that dir.. then scp from the other box.. | 01:10 |
| KE1HA | exactly, cus if you dont, you can overwrite a dir with a dile or file with a dir. | 01:10 |
| farty_pants | WHats the best software that will convert avi to dvd AND burn as well? | 01:10 |
| treyh | nessonic: also never hurts to use "tab" locally when you type the command to put the format in cirrectly | 01:10 |
| edbian | farty_pants: devede | 01:10 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, ahh.. a mac.. If i 'rember' right.. the mac does some magic - where the case of files the GUI shows does not match the case in all cases. (: P) that the underlaying OS/shell/ shows... | 01:10 |
| edbian | farty_pants: my opinion of course | 01:10 |
| farty_pants | it will also convert? | 01:10 |
| nessonic | I've been trying tab, but it never completes for my mac, only the remote linuxbox's | 01:10 |
| treyh | nessonic: i know the fix, quit using mac | 01:11 |
| treyh | lol | 01:11 |
| KE1HA | lol | 01:11 |
| nessonic | it's my only laptop, and I've tried the linux partition | 01:11 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | edbian: he have a latest resume.doc need to dig up ~ he said it is 'resume.doc' and edited last month but find / -iname 'resume.doc' -mtime -60 2> /dev/null shows nothing. :> | 01:11 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, im not sure tab completion can work for a remote box like that.. that WOULD be a neat trick for tab completion to do... | 01:11 |
| farty_pants | edbian: will it also convert? | 01:11 |
| KE1HA | I've got a MacPro, and I know the pain he's feeling, some things are great, other, man what a nightmare ! | 01:11 |
| edbian | wildbat_semi_afk: Then that isn't the name :P | 01:12 |
| dr_willis | nessonic, ssh to the mac and double check the path is about all i can suggest. or send the file to some tmp dir on the mac first. the move it. | 01:12 |
| edbian | wildbat_semi_afk: induz Where would you save it besides somewhere in your home folder? | 01:12 |
| induz | edbian, my resume as a .doc file buried somewhere in my system | 01:12 |
| treyh | nessonic: does sftp user@remoteip work? | 01:12 |
| edbian | farty_pants: yes | 01:13 |
| nessonic | I did that, it says connected | 01:13 |
| nessonic | with sftp> | 01:13 |
| treyh | okay exit | 01:13 |
| farty_pants | edbian: thanks ill check it out | 01:13 |
| treyh | cd to the dir with the file "macaddress:" | 01:13 |
| edbian | induz: Is it not .odf ? | 01:13 |
| induz | i made numerous folders in my home Folder | 01:13 |
| edbian | induz: ahhh :) | 01:13 |
| induz | edbian, it was .odf but I saved as .doc caz most of headhunters work on MS Office | 01:14 |
| treyh | nessonic: 1. cd to the directory with the file you want to transfer 2. sftp user@remoteip | 01:14 |
| nessonic | cd while in the ssh? | 01:14 |
| KE1HA | before | 01:14 |
| treyh | no | 01:14 |
| treyh | exit out of sftp | 01:14 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | edbian: lol if induz know we won't be searching :> so you should have a copy in odf format then try find it | 01:14 |
| induz | anyway..thanks for your help...i feel like breaking the comp apart and taking out my .oc resume from within | 01:15 |
| nessonic | alright back to sftp> | 01:15 |
| KE1HA | :-)_ tried that, it dont work induz | 01:15 |
| treyh | 1. exit out of sftp, 2. cd /path/of/file/you/want/to/transfer 3. sftp user@remoteip 4. get name-of-file | 01:15 |
| treyh | nessonic: 1. exit out of sftp, 2. cd /path/of/file/you/want/to/transfer 3. sftp user@remoteip 4. get name-of-file | 01:15 |
| nessonic | it has the file, but the "bar" says 0% | 01:16 |
| induz | I have a hardcopy of it so i will sit down and type it again | 01:16 |
| nessonic | and a new line with sftp> | 01:16 |
| induz | bye for now | 01:16 |
| induz | good night guys/gals | 01:16 |
| treyh | nessonic: type ls | 01:16 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | night , and good luck , induz | 01:16 |
| treyh | does the file show up? | 01:17 |
| nessonic | yes | 01:17 |
| KE1HA | it's there then | 01:17 |
| treyh | okay exit out of sftp and etc | 01:17 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| treyh | ssh to the remote box and verify it's there | 01:17 |
| nessonic | in it's original directory; my home directory on the remote linux | 01:17 |
| induz | wildbat_semi_afk, hope i find the resume and the job too | 01:17 |
| treyh | nessonic: then do a dance you're done | 01:17 |
| KE1HA | LOL | 01:17 |
| wildbat_semi_afk | induz: i hope i find a job too XD! later ~ OT. | 01:17 |
| nessonic | it's only located on the remote box though, not my local laptop where I'm at | 01:17 |
| highphilosopher | EHLO | 01:18 |
| treyh | nessonic: okay so you want to download the file? | 01:18 |
| treyh | you want to transfer the file from linux-->mac | 01:18 |
| nessonic | yes, transferred to this mac | 01:18 |
| treyh | awesome | 01:18 |
| treyh | ssh to the linuxbox | 01:18 |
| treyh | and do the exact same steps | 01:18 |
| treyh | cd to the dir, sftp user@macmachine | 01:18 |
| treyh | get name-of-file | 01:18 |
| treyh | then dance | 01:18 |
| KE1HA | man scp would nahve been so much easier, I cn't figure out why sftp adn ssh work bu not scp | 01:19 |
| treyh | all good nessonic | 01:19 |
| nessonic | that's what I did last time, it gave the constant 0% and a file search on the mac shows no "macaddress" file | 01:19 |
| treyh | i think you got the process reversed | 01:19 |
| JoeR1 | my desktop has stopped working on my main account in Xubuntu, and please don't recommend #xubuntu, I have been there and they have offered recommendations that did not work so now I turn to this room. | 01:20 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| Monotoko | JoeR1..have you told them there recommendations haven't worked? | 01:21 |
| noneabove1182 | does anyone have any ideaas as to why my ubuntu 11.04 SOMETIMES boots but most of the time goes to a flashing cursor and then just a black screen ? | 01:21 |
| nessonic | I ssh'd into the directory with the file, went into sftp, checked if the files there, typed get macaddy, then 0% exited, and still nothing (though it's still in the remote directory) | 01:21 |
| th0r | JoeR1: that description of the problem isn't going to get you very far | 01:21 |
| KE1HA | JoeR1: what did you do or were you doing when xface stopped workign correctly? | 01:21 |
| noneabove1182 | hey again edbian :P | 01:21 |
| JoeR1 | Monotoko, yes I have and he seems stumped | 01:22 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: hello friend! | 01:22 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian how goes?? | 01:22 |
| JoeR1 | KE1HA, it happened between reboots | 01:22 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: great. How are you? Need Ubuntu help? | 01:22 |
| === kyle_ is now known as ubuntunoob | ||
| farty_pants | I have a question.. not to be biased to linux but why does it look like my linux OS has better graphics than my xp? | 01:23 |
| KE1HA | JoeR1: did you install anything, change anything modify anything, or it just stopped dowing what it was suppsoed to do. | 01:23 |
| JoeR1 | I am currently logged in as root because the root account still works for whatever reason, and don't bother telling me how thats a bad idea | 01:23 |
| farty_pants | its on the same pc | 01:23 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian good and bad, and yes :P | 01:23 |
| Monotoko | JoeR1, that isn't very nice now is it? | 01:23 |
| JoeR1 | KE1HA, it just stopped, no recent changes | 01:23 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: :( What's the issue? | 01:23 |
| KE1HA | JoeR1: Intersting .. haev you tried a quick reinstall of xfce4 | 01:23 |
| spankbot | farty_pants what vs of LNX are you running? | 01:24 |
| JoeR1 | Monotoko, what do you mean? | 01:24 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian so the liveCD did in fact work haha, but now ive got a slight problem with the booting XD once in awhile it boots normally, like it did just now, but most of the time i get a flashing curser then a blank screen that leads to nothing :( | 01:24 |
| Monotoko | JoeR1, sorry, wrong room! Got about 50 IRC windows open >.> | 01:24 |
| JoeR1 | KE1HA, no, I am trying to resolve this issue without any re-installs | 01:24 |
| treyh | farty_pants: what version of windows and linux you running | 01:24 |
| Monotoko | over various networks | 01:24 |
| th0r | JoeR1: what do you mean | 01:24 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: turn on nomodeset do you know how to do that? (strange btw that it happens sometimes) | 01:24 |
| th0r | JoeR1: just stopped....ran out of gas? brakes locked up? | 01:25 |
| KE1HA | JoeR1: well ok, could be workign on that for a while then. | 01:25 |
| ubuntunoo | hey guys guess what | 01:25 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian yes i do, and ive done that, it does start, but the resolution is very wrong and its not in unity | 01:25 |
| abc_dallas | Hi everybody. I'm trying learn Ubuntu & figure out how to use AppArmor; do I have to learn Unix commands first? | 01:25 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: What graphics card do you have? | 01:25 |
| ubuntunoo | i finally got my ipod to mount | 01:25 |
| JoeR1 | th0r - indeed, I logged in and thing that once worked had stopped functioning | 01:25 |
| farty_pants | what do you mean vs? | 01:25 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: This system is fully updated too right?? | 01:25 |
| farty_pants | spankbot: | 01:25 |
| Monotoko | abc_dallas, bash commands would be a good start :P | 01:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | 11.04 is leet | 01:25 |
| KE1HA | JoeR1: but it's rather odd that, with no changes, no updates, no apparent config changes, that somehtign static would sudden'y break, | 01:25 |
| spankbot | farty_pants if you are comparing a recent distro of LNX against XP.. which was released almost 10 years ago, that's why. So in theory you are comparing a car built in 2011 against a car build in 2001. | 01:26 |
| === root is now known as Guest84730 | ||
| th0r | JoeR1: I am not going to play 20 questions, but I am curious what 'thing' is | 01:26 |
| ubuntunoo | i found this app from cydia that lets me emulate msc mode on my ipod | 01:26 |
| farty_pants | spankbot: I know but the hardware is the same | 01:26 |
| ubuntunoo | and it works perfectly | 01:26 |
| farty_pants | same video card | 01:26 |
| JoeR1 | KE1HA, I know this will take a long time, Linux ALWAYS takes a long time o do what I want | 01:26 |
| farty_pants | Im using mint | 01:26 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian i have two actually, an intel one and a radeon one, most likely radeon is cause the problems >< and yea its updated, except the graphics driver cause that causes other problems, though if updating fixes the black screen and we can fix the problems it causes then i guess we could go that route XD | 01:26 |
| farty_pants | the graphics look much crisp | 01:26 |
| abc_dallas | Monotoko, is that Unix...i'm looking it up in the forums now...thank you | 01:26 |
| spankbot | farty_pants and? your OS is not, just like I said, one is 10yrs older. | 01:26 |
| treyh | farty_pants: what version of windows | 01:26 |
| AaronMT | can someone ping me | 01:26 |
| nessonic | @farty_pants he means xp is designed from years ago, not for nowadays' much bigger lcd monitors, etc. | 01:26 |
| farty_pants | treyh: xp | 01:27 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: I have no idea if updating will fix the black screen problem. Do you have radeon blacklisted on this install? | 01:27 |
| treyh | farty_pants: xp is from 2003, mint is from 2011 | 01:27 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian no i dont, i did that a few boots ago but it didnt seem to fix the black screen | 01:27 |
| treyh | farty_pants: xp was not designed to be "crisp" in the same way mint is | 01:27 |
| spankbot | farty_pants and? compair your LNX distro against Win7, 7 is much better. But I'm really digging Gnome3 though. | 01:27 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian unless the permanent one would fix it | 01:28 |
| JoeR1 | th0r - the contextual desktop menu is gone, windows do not appear on the panel, windows no longer have the min/max/exit controls, some windows are immobile, some windows cannot be interacted with after opening | 01:28 |
| treyh | farty_pants: 7 and mint are similiar but different on my hardware | 01:28 |
| ubuntunoo | by the way, if anyone is having problems mounting your ipod touch or your iphone, add this to your cydia sources and install usb drive: http://apt.dmytro.me | 01:28 |
| propman | treyh: mint? thought i was in the wrong channel there for a sec lol | 01:28 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: make sure it's not blacklisted. what does lsmod | grep radeon say ? | 01:28 |
| ubuntunoo | i couldnt mount mine at all until i installed it | 01:28 |
| treyh | propman: it's the distro farts_in_my_pants is running | 01:29 |
| farty_pants | my other question is.. what would be the most compatible video card with linux | 01:29 |
| ubuntunoo | once i installed it it mounted like magic | 01:29 |
| farty_pants | nvidia or ati? | 01:29 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian oh okay, im pretty sure its not but ill check just incase, and give me a sec | 01:29 |
| treyh | farty_pants: the most compatible video card with linux? VGA | 01:29 |
| farty_pants | I have a ati but it does not like linux too much | 01:29 |
| spankbot | treyh XP released Oct 25 2001 | 01:29 |
| ubuntunoo | saved me 170$ from buying a new archos 43 | 01:29 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: k | 01:29 |
| farty_pants | treyh: yes pci-e | 01:29 |
| treyh | spankbot: lol even more point, xp vs mint | 01:29 |
| EgyParadox | !vga | 01:29 |
| propman | treyh: ohhhh ok......me run mint too. :-) | 01:30 |
| KE1HA | ubuntunoo: why does it have to be ona hacked system to work? | 01:30 |
| JoeR1 | th0r and others, if you will excuse me another idea has been posed by #xubuntu and I have to log into the broken account to try it so I am going to do that and I shall report back if it is unsuccessful | 01:30 |

| ubuntunoo | i still haven't figured out how music on it, but it mounts fine now | 01:30 |
| nessonic | I believe I've found the issue, I no longer get the could not resolve error...but every folder I try to get it in says permission denied, no matter if I'm sudo'd or not, or if I change the permissions on the mac side for that folder | 01:30 |
| treyh | farty_pants: linux shouldn't have that many problems running either, and if the current drivers don't suit your needs, try the bleeding edge ones | 01:30 |
| ubuntunoo | ke1ha: if you have 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 it mounts without jailbreak | 01:30 |
| spankbot | treyh I've not run mint, is that running Unity too? Had too many problems with 11.4 & Unity, I've gone Fedora15 for now. | 01:30 |
| ubuntunoo | but i had to jailbreak mine | 01:31 |
| Zungo | hi | 01:31 |
| noneabove1182 | edbian well there is an amd thing blacklisted but radeon is not, give me a sec to email myself the ouput so i dont have to type it haha | 01:31 |
| KE1HA | ubuntunoo: ok tnx, | 01:31 |
| ubuntunoo | and install that app | 01:31 |
| treyh | spankbot: Unity = no, gnome by default but i'm running gnome panels + cairo dock | 01:31 |
| ubuntunoo | mine didnt mount before at all before | 01:31 |
| treyh | spankbot: i'm a hardcore ubuntu fan, but mint is nicely packaged | 01:31 |
| ubuntunoo | now it mounts like a usb drive | 01:31 |
| edbian | noneabove1182: sure | 01:31 |
| ubuntunoo | the app emulates msc mode | 01:31 |

| spankbot | treyh I'm hardcore what works. Windows 7 for (windows development, C#, .NET SQL), Fedora15 for (java development, Android dev), VMWare for all my Server virtualization, so I'm not tied to one OS... but I run LNX as my host and VM all of my Windows, LNX Server and Utilities | 01:35 |
| Zungo | it´s forbidden not dead link | 01:35 |
| Zungo | but, why? | 01:35 |
| abc_dallas | i searched for "bash commands" in ubuntuforums but not finding anything; can anyone help me w/ a link on that? | 01:35 |
| treyh | Zungo: no way to know, but not your fault, it's theirs | 01:35 |

| ubuntunoo | edbian: don't know if you heard already, but i finally got my Ipod touch 2g to mount in Ubuntu, i installed this app from Cydia called USB Drive, and now it mounts like it's supposed to | 01:36 |

| zruty | What is the smoothest way to convert a bunch of FLAC to MP3? | 01:37 |
| jrib | zruty: probably ffmpeg | 01:37 |
| treyh | spankbot: same here dude, win7 for hyper-v management, run all of my windows box as vm's on my laptop, we use hyper-v, vmware, and xen for virtualization | 01:37 |
| Zungo | so, what i can do with it? | 01:37 |
| dkog | Hi - does iptables try to load config from a specific file anywhere (like in redhat's /etc/sysconfig/iptables) ? | 01:37 |
| KE1HA | zruty: with a bash script, for in in /some-dir do; convert all these puppies to big dogs; done | 01:37 |
| abc_dallas | Ubottu, what do you mean by my next question (aka 'the real one')? | 01:38 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:38 |
| treyh | Zungo: you can try a sudo apt-get update , then try the package again. if it still fails you can wait a day or two to see if it comes back online | 01:38 |
| abc_dallas | thanx Thor i will | 01:38 |
| treyh | Zungo: or try "403 error package-name" in google | 01:38 |
| Zungo | treyh: wtf, 403 error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/663859/ that´s forbidden :(, so what i can do? ufff | 01:39 |

| ubuntunoo | yea | 01:39 |
| lnxn3rd | hey | 01:39 |
| treyh | Zungo: i can't say this any more clear, you can update your repo's to make sure they're trying the correct packages, you can wait it out, or google for an alternative location | 01:39 |
| lnxn3rd | I'm a java developer .. | 01:39 |

| spankbot | treyh now you're talking.. what's the big diff in ESX and Hyper-V? Did you know that Hyper-V was build using the original VMware Kernel? That's why Microsoft supprts VMWare in licensing. | 01:40 |
| treyh | lnxn3rd: quit spamming, ask question or answer them | 01:40 |

| ubuntunoo | monotoko: xD | 01:41 |
| treyh | spankbot: nothing too different, normal stuff linux vs windows, but hyper-v has micro kernels :) | 01:41 |

| [THC]AcidRain | serious issue | 01:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | my comp is turning off by itself | 01:42 |
| lnxn3rd | Zungo:how can i run .run files , please? | 01:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im looking at the system monitor. nothing is out of the ordinary | 01:42 |
| Zungo | wtf, | 01:42 |
| treyh | spankbot: microkernels with hyper-v and 2008r2 is amazing | 01:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | anyone know what would cause my system to do that? | 01:42 |
| stealz | why is it that there is no proper manual/information and I have to pick every bit of stuff I want to do together by reading forums throughout all the internet just to find out that the info is outdated... is there no working wiki or something? | 01:42 |
| noneabove1182 | hey guys, anyone know how to fix a problem of ubuntu no longer running in unity after updating graphics driver?? | 01:42 |
| Zungo | i don´t know | 01:42 |
| JoeR1 | the contextual desktop menu is gone, windows do not appear on the panel, windows no longer have the min/max/exit controls, some windows are immobile, some windows cannot be interacted with after opening | 01:42 |
| jrib | stealz: I'm not sure what your question is | 01:42 |
| Zungo | stealz: there´s a wkik | 01:42 |
| lnxn3rd | Anybody does!? | 01:43 |
| ObrienDave | AcidRain: umm... low battery??? | 01:43 |
| Zungo | wiki* | 01:43 |
| globe | boa noite | 01:43 |
| KE1HA | spankbot: Yeah, I run loads of VM boxes, I;m on 10.04 LTS on my VM Box as the base OS then have loads of VM's doign this or that, or testing things. | 01:43 |
| dkog | Somebody please link me to info on how iptables starts up? All info I find seems outdated. | 01:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | JoeR1, what you doing? | 01:43 |
| lnxn3rd | #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:43 |
| jrib | dkog: why? What do you want to accomplish? | 01:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ObrienDave, no, its hooked to the wall | 01:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | this is a desktop | 01:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it has happened 2 times when im converting music | 01:43 |
| stealz | jrib: right now its about getting alsa to reroute to pulse, I got to there after trying 4 different ways to get wine to work with sound, all of which went to completely different directions | 01:43 |
| dkog | jrib: I want to a) configure my firewall, and b) better understand how ubuntu networking works (i am coming from redhat) | 01:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im about to try again to see if it is consistent | 01:43 |
| JoeR1 | [THC]AcidRain, I assume you mean to imply that some action of mine has caused this result? | 01:44 |
| abc_dallas | noneabove, I had ssame problem w/ Unity on my 32 bit computer. I bought a new computer | 01:44 |
| jrib | !iptables | dkog | 01:44 |
| ubottu | dkog: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 01:44 |
| stealz | Zungo, the search funtion on that wiki isnt working properly for me if you refer to ubuntuwiki | 01:44 |
| treyh | lnxn3rd: you have to make the .run executable and then do ./name-of-file.run | 01:44 |
| spankbot | treyh I'm very interested if you have any knowledge in SQL Server performance gains between ESX or H-V, it seems like the whole SAN/NAS datastore drive and ESX host has become the norm for DB server builds, but they run like shit over time in ESX.. or corrupt the DB. IMO.. only been running ESX + SQL for 3yrs and that's what I've seen. | 01:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | JoeR1, no. i mean what system are you talking about | 01:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | lol | 01:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i know your not good enough to hax me ;) | 01:44 |
| dkog | jrib: my install (11) doesn't have ufw. Should I 'apt-get' it or something? | 01:44 |
| ubuntunoo | abc_dallas: i have problems with unity as well | 01:44 |
| jrib | dkog: what version of ubuntu is this exactly? | 01:44 |
| KE1HA | dkog: ufw is what most folks need but if ya really want iptable info we can get it too ya: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall | 01:45 |
| ubuntunoo | abc_dallas: just goto the login screen and select ubuntu classic (no effects) or ubuntu classic | 01:45 |
| JoeR1 | Xubuntu 11.04 - and I have been consulting the #xubuntu room as well, to no avail I might add | 01:45 |
| abc_dallas | I couldn't get it to work on my 32 bit computer but 11.04 is perfect on my 64 bit no problems at all | 01:45 |
| treyh | spankbot: i'm not a sql guy, but i remember over eharing a conversation about esx vs sql. are the vm's overloaded? | 01:45 |
| dkog | jrib: how can I tell which version exactly? | 01:45 |
| jrib | dkog: how did you install? | 01:45 |
| ObrienDave | abc_dallas: did you install 32 bit version??? | 01:45 |
| dkog | jrib: rackspace cloud server | 01:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | JoeR1, i agree with everything you say. new ubuntu interface sucks. switch to classic and find a way to remove all traces of new ubuntu | 01:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i think my cores are overheating | 01:46 |
| dkog | jrib: is there a file in the system that contains the actual version number? eg in redhat, it's /etc/redhat-release (or something like that) | 01:46 |
| abc_dallas | ObrienDave, I did install it but it said my hardware wasn't capable of running UNity | 01:46 |
| abc_dallas | i got caught using craked win 7 ultimate | 01:46 |
| jrib | dkog: you should ask them what they installed because I believe ufw is pulled in by ubuntu-standard | 01:46 |
| dkog | jrib: the portal I created the server in says 11.04 | 01:46 |
| treyh | dkog: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:47 |
| ObrienDave | abc_dallas: boot into classic. get rid of that unity POS | 01:47 |
| spankbot | KE1HA If I can get Gnome3 to run stable on 10.04 I'm back to Ubuntu, I'f not I'm torn at the moment. The Ubuntu community, this IRC alone blows away any distro support community. PPL are so cool here, they even help me out on my Fedora issues. | 01:47 |
| flodine | heheheh | 01:47 |
| noneabove1182 | has anyone else encountered or heard of a problem where after updating the video graphics driver unity no longer runs on 11.04? using radeon card (yes ive heard of its issues) | 01:47 |
| abc_dallas | i used it for all of 5 mins before switched to Ubuntu. I want to put Ubuntu on all my cpus and be able to use it | 01:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | both cores are maxing out at 100% usage | 01:47 |
| aeon-ltd | [THC]AcidRain: heh, overheating? unless you OC'd ,your thermal paste is almost non-existant or your fan failed/clogged/slowed down; you'll be fine | 01:47 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: say with 10.10 until 11.10 comes out | 01:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | aeon-ltd, my comp is very clean | 01:48 |
| === root___ is now known as galamar | ||
| aeon-ltd | [THC]AcidRain: recent? | 01:48 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh as much as id like to, i just spent SO long getting this to work.. XD | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | aeon-ltd, but did you see my message that both cores are maxing out? | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | nah they are maxing out right now | 01:48 |
| KE1HA | spankbot: Yeah, lot really good support people here in Ubuntu, one of it's best atributes I think. e.g. Gnome3, I've looked at it, but to be honest, havn't had time to mess around with ti much. | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cause im converting music | 01:48 |
| aeon-ltd | [THC]AcidRain: yes but that's normal | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | only 34 songs | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | so that wouldnt cause it to do that? | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i took the front plate off and i have a house fan on it | 01:48 |
| abc_dallas | there is so much cool stuff in Ubuntu I haven't had time to mess w/ a lot of stuff yet | 01:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | aeon-ltd, what other reasons would my comp just shutdown? perhaps a power surge? | 01:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i do have ALOT of stuff hooked off like 3 power surges into 1 outlet | 01:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | :) | 01:49 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: you can look to see if there are cutting edge drivers for your card that might help | 01:49 |
| dkog | KE1HA: are there docs on how/when iptables is started? i don't see it in the init files i'm looking at, but i'm probably looking in the wrong place. | 01:49 |
| aeon-ltd | [THC]AcidRain: shutdown or did it crash first? | 01:49 |
| galamar | hey can anyone tell me how to mount my memcard in a pre-X livecd? so I can save some log files to it. | 01:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | its just a crash | 01:49 |
| kmwhite | I've been trying to get Encrypted LVM up-and-going using the guide at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1262546 , but it appears that the newer versions of ubuntu (the guide is from 2009) are lacking a /dev/.udev/db directory in initrd . Any idea how to create it, or what it was replaced with? | 01:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it turns off instantly | 01:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | no warning | 01:49 |
| kmwhite | It's cited in Part II of the link. | 01:50 |
| treyh | [THC]AcidRain: how big of a power supply do you have? how many drives and etc. hooked up? | 01:50 |
| jrib | dkog: in any case, ubottu provided info for both ufw and iptables | 01:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | treyh, 3 drives | 01:50 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh its weird, because without the updated driver i get the black screen problem 9 boots out of 10, but unity works... then with new driver, no black screen but no unity >< | 01:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | power supply is 550watt | 01:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | is that enough? | 01:50 |
| KE1HA | dkog: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo ... beyond that I dont go :-) | 01:50 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: oh thats simply, your video card isn't beefy enough to run unity, you're probably stuck with gnome3 | 01:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | 2 external drives. 1 internal | 01:50 |
| aeon-ltd | [THC]AcidRain: should be, unless you're rocking sli setups | 01:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | this is very odd | 01:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it just happened 2 times back to back | 01:51 |
| treyh | [THC]AcidRain: disconnect as many things as possible and see how it runs | 01:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | and it happened once about 1 week ago | 01:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | well im on it now... it seems to be running fine | 01:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cores went back down to about 40% each | 01:51 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh i have AMD Radeon HD 6XXXm or something, high end :S | 01:51 |
| abc_dallas | i'm going to study terminal commands and linux documentation. Thanx ya'll l8r | 01:51 |
| ObrienDave | AcidRain: crashed twice and rebooted that fast??? | 01:52 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh and it runs without the update which is what confuses me | 01:52 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ObrienDave, yeah... lol | 01:52 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i didnt smell anything bad. | 01:52 |
| galamar | I know how to mount it, I am just having trouble with the correct path to the memcard. | 01:52 |

| DigDug | For USB? Aren't there more frugal distros out there? | 01:57 |
| kmwhite | Thanks, treyh . I'll take that under consideration. | 01:58 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: all linux distros had an issue fro time to time, but I've been with Ubuntu since the 5.x.x days, and it's pretty hard to beat the optons available with Ubuntu. | 01:58 |

| noneabove1182 | treyh hey one more question about the driver stuff, for the manual add (cause the auto add didnt quite work..) where is says your ubuntu version here, do i put natty or 11.04? | 02:00 |

| DigDug | KE1HA: To run from USB Drive. | 02:02 |
| diamonds | I'm on... what's the new UI called | 02:02 |
| Gruffy | Yep. | 02:02 |
| ObrienDave | noneabove1182: np | 02:02 |
| diamonds | eternity? | 02:02 |
| diamonds | anyway I'm on the new UI | 02:02 |
| |Slacker| | unity | 02:02 |
| coz_ | Unity | 02:03 |
| DigDug | diamonds: DDR2 is so expensive. I'd need 4GB modules for (2x4GB) | 02:03 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: Got it, I've rolled a couple of my own, just learing how things work in build releases and such. It's really not that hard actually. | 02:03 |
| Gruffy | new UI for what? 11.04? | 02:03 |
| diamonds | but I *don't have ANY networking icon* | 02:03 |
| |Slacker| | DigDug: some cordless mouse? | 02:03 |
| diamonds | in my top right icon area | 02:03 |
| diamonds | which is odd | 02:03 |

| diamonds | in any event I wouldn't care if wireless were working | 02:03 |
| diamonds | so I tried rfkill unblock all | 02:03 |
| ObrienDave | DigDug: 2x4GB about $125 | 02:03 |
| DigDug | Slacker: all great ideas! I have a nice wireless mouse from Logitech already. | 02:04 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: For USB, small & lighweight is key, and strip down the unwanted aps. It's all about intended use there I suppose. | 02:04 |

| diamonds | doing sudo lshw -C network now.... | 02:05 |
| ObrienDave | DigDug: yep for laptop | 02:05 |
| DigDug | Question: Does 8GB really change things, if I have 4GB already? I never notice memory issues. | 02:05 |
| diamonds | ok so I get *-network DISABLED | 02:05 |
| diamonds | what means this | 02:05 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: Not much unless you keep hitting the wall at 4GB | 02:06 |

| diamonds | ^sudo lshw -C network | 02:06 |
| DigDug | KE1HA: That's what I thought. That's why I'm so stuck! There's really nothing to get at Dell that I don't have. I have a 2TB Raid backup, nice headphones, nice keyboard and wireless mouse, new router, enough RAM. | 02:06 |
| EgyParadox | Dezine: you can edit /etc/network/interfaces as well | 02:07 |
| ObrienDave | DigDug: yes and no. you won't notice a performance issue unless your running apps that swap memory a lot. | 02:07 |
| diamonds | EgyParadox: I'll try that as well! | 02:07 |
| DigDug | Of course I want a new computer, but a $75 GC can't justify that ;0 | 02:07 |

| diamonds | what do I need to execute to see the network manager icon? | 02:07 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: and if your runnig from RAM, super fast timmings and speed / overclocks are not going to benoticed by the operator, maybe in some benchmark app or app that uses super fast sppeds, yes, but nto to the user. | 02:07 |

| DigDug | ObrienDave: I Was thinking that with 8GB I could run the whole OS in RAM (i.e. no swap) | 02:07 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, nm-applet i think | 02:07 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: will try, ty | 02:08 |

| DigDug | ObrienDave: No worries, I appreciate the help. I remember reading about the "Is the Swap Necessary?" issue. People argue it back and forth. | 02:09 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: You dont need 8GB f Ram to run the OS, you strip out all the junk you dont need. | 02:09 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh after the sudo apt-get update i get a couple of error messages | 02:09 |
| DigDug | KE1HA: How do I go about learning how to strip out the junk I don't need? | 02:09 |
| realubot | Mod4 is SuperKey I think but which is Alt, Ctrl and so on? | 02:09 |
| diamonds | https://imgur.com/INkTv < note: No networking icon | 02:09 |
| zykotick9 | swap is a good thing, seldom used stuff can be moved to swap so physical memory can be used for "real" stuff | 02:10 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: You lean about building your own Ubuntu Distro, start with somethign like Lubuntu / Xubuntu as the Base Distro for OEM, then remove all the stuff ya dont want a re-roll it. | 02:10 |

| realubot | What keys are Mod keys? Anyone? | 02:12 |
| DigDug | KE1HA: Haha! See, that's what I don't have to deal with. I don't have the time to trial and error this. | 02:12 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: The you have 1/4 for Swap, 1/4 for RAM and use the USB as your /home to store changes. | 02:12 |
| DigDug | I was hoping that there would be some projects out there that would have different purposed forks of Ubuntu (or whatever). | 02:12 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, it will probably disconnect you from the net, but you could try "killall nm-applet && nm-applet" to try restarting it | 02:12 |
| DigDug | Fat momma install, then slim install, then micro install. | 02:12 |
| EgyParadox | diamonds: try running this in terminal: nm-applet --sm-disable | 02:12 |
| diamonds | EgyParadox: see also http://pastie.org/pastes/2358881/text | 02:12 |

| DigDug | It was surprising to see such a lightning boot-up and OS | 02:13 |
| treyh | DigDug: you could use the ubuntu-mini installer, then just install only the things you8 need and want. those downloads are only about 25min | 02:13 |
| treyh | DigDug: *25mb | 02:13 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh i did the : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/radeon/ubuntu natty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/radeon/ubuntu natty main, and the sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8844C542, then did sudo apt-get update, then errors | 02:13 |
| KE1HA | zruty: Do a small sample test on jsut a few files, check the results first and make a backup of the original files. | 02:13 |
| diamonds | there's no man page for nm-applet... | 02:13 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa , sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is the correct way | 02:13 |
| diamonds | EgyParadox: what does that switch do? | 02:13 |
| EgyParadox | just run it without man | 02:13 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: correction, it's the easier way | 02:13 |
| DigDug | treyh: That's a great idea! What is the ubuntu-mini installer intended for? | 02:14 |
| diamonds | EgyParadox: instance already running | 02:14 |
| treyh | DigDug: minimal installs :) or for when your cdrom is bad but you have to use it to install | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | DigDug, mini is basically Debian's net-install with Ubuntu repos | 02:14 |
| DigDug | Is the mini installer GUI? | 02:14 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh yea i did that the first time and got the same error on the update part | 02:14 |
| diamonds | ok zykotick9, I'll try yours :) | 02:14 |
| diamonds | ttfn | 02:14 |
| DigDug | or is it some command-line yuck? | 02:14 |
| treyh | DigDug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:15 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: hot diggity damn! | 02:15 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: The other option is SSD's, there super fast and they are read/write | 02:15 |
| coz_ | DigDug, well it is a text install however,, it is very easy to work with and only 19 megs | 02:15 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: check PM | 02:15 |
| diamonds | I got an icon :) | 02:15 |
| diamonds | but my terminal is tied up :/ | 02:15 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh sorry to say this, but how?? | 02:15 |
| DigDug | coz_: Oh, like the alternate CD. That I can handle, when I setup encrypted LVMs. | 02:15 |
| diamonds | do I have to ^c out of this nm-applet command? | 02:15 |
| treyh | noneabove1182: depends on your chat client, look on the top, bottom, or side for another tab with "treyh" on it | 02:16 |
| coz_ | DigDug, exactly like the alternate :) | 02:16 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, you could re-run from alt+f2 | 02:16 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: Smallest Non-Ubuntu distro I've used is DSL and Puppy, of the two, DSL is pretty nice. | 02:16 |
| noneabove1182 | treyh ohhhh personal message... gotcha XD | 02:16 |
| DigDug | KE1HA: DSL is polished? | 02:16 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: yeah I can just open a new PS tab :) | 02:16 |
| KE1HA | Overall I'd still prefer Ubuntu, rolled to suit my needs over DSL | 02:16 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: Yes, DSL very polished. | 02:16 |
| coz_ | DigDug, the big difference is not only are the files downloaded and installed,, you will get a list of availabe things to install,, I generally only choose Ubuntu-desktop,, however,, the arrows scroll the list and t he "Space" bar ticks the box not Enter :) | 02:16 |
| DigDug | I'd ideally like to have the polish that comes with Ubuntu, so I think I am going to try the mini installer. | 02:16 |
| diamonds | ok so it still doesn't "see" networks | 02:17 |
| juarea | I have disk spaced used up and was wondering if there is a way to see all files that are big in size? | 02:17 |
| diamonds | I'm checking lshw.. | 02:17 |

| Kumquat | How would one use a laptop running Ubuntu to bridge a connection between a wireless network and a desktop? | 02:17 |
| KE1HA | DigDug: Check out an applkicaiton for Ubuntu call Reconstructor, you'd be suprised what you could come up with. | 02:17 |
| EgyParadox | diamonds: rightclick on the upper panel ->add to panel-> indication applet complete | 02:18 |

| DigDug | KE1HA: Thanks for the tip! | 02:18 |
| diamonds | rightclick does nothing :( | 02:18 |
| zykotick9 | juarea, you might want to start by checking how much your apt cache is using "du -sh /var/cache/apt" these files aren't required really | 02:18 |
| diamonds | but I have the up/down Icon now | 02:18 |
| diamonds | now I just need the wifi icon... | 02:18 |

| juarea | zykotick9: 168M/var/cache/apt | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, "device not managed" will appear if something is specified in /etc/network/interfaces for the wireless | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | juarea, that's not very big | 02:19 |
| juarea | I know | 02:19 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: someone told me to add a couple lines there | 02:19 |
| DigDug | Question: How would I achieve the minimal setup on my USB key? Would I run the minimal installer from the key itself? | 02:19 |
| juarea | I dont know whats clogging it | 02:19 |
| juarea | zykotick9: I cannot figure out where the siwe is | 02:20 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, if you added anything for your wireless that would explain the "not managed" | 02:20 |
| diamonds | specifically: | 02:20 |

| diamonds | auto wlan0\ | 02:20 |

| diamonds | zykotick9: so can I start it from iwconfig or what? | 02:21 |
| zykotick9 | juarea, "du -sh * 2>/dev/null" | 02:21 |
| diamonds | remove it from /interfaces then restart nm-applet? | 02:21 |

| diamonds | zykotick9: where do I manage it if it's in interfaces? | 02:21 |
| diamonds | and more importantly, where the heck did the wireless icon go last time?? | 02:22 |
| diamonds | wifey uses the computer when I'm out of town at work, and I can't walk her thru all this | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, in the interfaces file??? I've never done wireless with it, but it is possible | 02:22 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: I got the advice in this channel :p | 02:22 |
| diamonds | but I'll remove the last two lines now and restart the applet | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | juarea, sorry try "du -sh / 2>/dev/null" to check your root filesystem | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | juarea, you do have 5GB in ~/Downloads | 02:23 |
| juarea | Yes.. | 02:24 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: what must I clear to reload that interfaces file"? | 02:24 |
| diamonds | It's still showing "not managed" | 02:24 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, "grep wlan0 /etc/network/interfaces" is anything NOT commented out? | 02:25 |
| diamonds | zykotick9: nothing returned | 02:25 |
| Kumquat | Gaah stupid unreliable wireless. Did someone answer my question while I was away? | 02:25 |
| diamonds | I removed it | 02:25 |
| diamonds | ffff... | 02:26 |
| zykotick9 | diamonds, perhaps "sudo service networking restart" - probably disconnect you | 02:26 |
| diamonds | every time i turn around rfkill has a block on wifi | 02:26 |

| treyh | UbuBegin: the colors and line #'s are built into the program, if you don't want to edit it after placing it in open office, screen shot it | 02:43 |
| jpsman | I dont think gedit can output the color coded syntax into say an XML.... | 02:43 |
| juarea | still here? | 02:43 |
| juarea | ok good | 02:43 |
| Kumquat | I want to get a wireless connection to my laptop, and use an ethernet cable from it to get an internet connection to my desktop | 02:43 |
| mattgyver | juarea, I think its sun-java-6, but you have to have the partner repo enabled | 02:43 |
| diamonds | I think I'll just shut the gd thing down and see if that fixes it | 02:43 |
| diamonds | the ol' windows trick | 02:43 |
| diamonds | brb | 02:43 |
| rslacke | so..since I got disconnected: is there a keyboard shortcut for desktop grid? | 02:43 |
| rslacke | in unity | 02:43 |
| zach | UbuBegin, maybe upload it to pastebin.com and copy the HTML formatted text into an open office document. | 02:43 |
| === rslacke is now known as |Slacker| | ||
| |Slacker| | nevermind..just found it | 02:43 |
| * diamonds sigh | 02:43 | |
| diamonds | now I'm back to lshw telling me *-network DISABLED | 02:43 |
| Internetpc | Hi... | 02:43 |
| Internetpc | i there any one ?? | 02:43 |
| diamonds | just restarted | 02:43 |
| diamonds | http://pastie.org/2359006 | 02:43 |
| treyh | UbuBegin: here you go, this should do it: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/coooder | 02:44 |
| === jpsman is now known as JPSman | ||
| diamonds | treyh: ok..... | 02:44 |
| diamonds | this isn't going to kill me? | 02:44 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: In Vim, do :runtime! syntax/2html.vim | 02:44 |
| treyh | diamonds: okay what did you do? | 02:44 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: That's how I'd do it | 02:44 |
| subarubdub | Hi ppl | 02:44 |
| diamonds | treyh: I just restarted | 02:44 |
| diamonds | but now http://pastie.org/2359006 | 02:44 |
| mrdeb | well | 02:45 |
| diamonds | it wasn't disabled before... I got that turned off some how (the disabling) | 02:45 |
| subarubdub | I r newb w/ubuntu but no more windows for me. I have libre office but I want open office, cant figure out how to install it. | 02:45 |
| treyh | diamonds: did you see the link i posted earlier? | 02:45 |
| diamonds | treyh: yes... | 02:45 |
| theadmin | subarubdub: From openoffice.org, but I don't see why you | 02:45 |
| bindi_ | subarubdub: libreoffice is the replacement to openoffice | 02:45 |
| subarubdub | oh ok | 02:45 |
| treyh | diamonds: did you try the short method ? | 02:45 |
| diamonds | I'm just trying to figure... I don't know I had it working before!!!! | 02:45 |
| subarubdub | so just hang with libre | 02:46 |
| diamonds | treyh: I'll try it now | 02:46 |
| JPSman | subarubdub: you an install open office too if you want. ubuntu software center or the synaptic package manager | 02:46 |
| treyh | diamonds: sec i'll find you a link | 02:46 |
| subarubdub | it is sometimes confusing to install apps on their own | 02:46 |
| JPSman | I have a far more advance question. How can I directly interact with the screen? like, BELOW the x server.... | 02:47 |
| subarubdub | thanks | 02:47 |
| subarubdub | I found it in the software center. | 02:47 |
| propman | treyh: diamonds post says he's running a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG not a Broadcom | 02:47 |
| JPSman | what bytes in what file would I have to modify to put say a big red circle on the screen independant of the x server? | 02:48 |
| subarubdub | but libre is newer and has everything anyway? | 02:48 |
| diamonds | http://pastie.org/pastes/2359026/text | 02:48 |
| treyh | diamonds: that changes the game lol | 02:48 |
| diamonds | subarubdub: yes, you want libre | 02:48 |
| mrdeb | what does it mean when disk check says non-continguos | 02:49 |
| UbuBegin | theadmin, how do i insert html file into the open office document | 02:49 |
| JPSman | subarubdub: I dont know, I have yet to try/use libre - best of luck :0D | 02:49 |
| KadirB | hi | 02:49 |
| propman | treyh: that one works straight out of the box in mint.....I have it on my laptop | 02:49 |
| * diamonds sighs | 02:49 | |
| diamonds | so... | 02:49 |
| subarubdub | it replaces libre with open office. better stick with libre | 02:50 |
| diamonds | subarubdub: correct | 02:50 |
| treyh | propman: the broadcom ones? yes they do :) | 02:50 |
| diamonds | now I'm getting "wireless disabled by hardware switch" | 02:50 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: You can open it in OpenOffice and save it as .odt | 02:50 |
| keithclark | I cannot seem to get the Startup Disk Creator to select a .iso image to use. It is stuck on one I selected quite some time ago. When I try 'other' and select a different .iso, the same one remains. | 02:51 |
| diamonds | WTF DOES THAT MEAN!!?! | 02:51 |
| treyh | keithclark: use unetbootin instead, much easier | 02:51 |
| treyh | diamonds: you have a physical switch thats turned off | 02:51 |
| diamonds | treyh: nope | 02:51 |
| diamonds | I've switched it both ways | 02:51 |
| treyh | diamonds: convert from ub 11.04 to linux mint 11 and your problems should go away | 02:52 |
| diamonds | it's fn+f2 | 02:52 |
| diamonds | treyh: my problems will go away, or THIS problem will go away? | 02:52 |
| treyh | diamonds: besides the function option, there may also be a physical switch you have to move? | 02:52 |
| diamonds | treyh: no | 02:52 |
| diamonds | there's not | 02:52 |
| treyh | whats the model of your laptop again? | 02:52 |
| diamonds | linux is just confused | 02:52 |
| diamonds | e1505 | 02:52 |
| diamonds | why should lint work and ubuntu not? | 02:53 |
| diamonds | this is a networking thing.... | 02:53 |
| keithclark | treyh, I tried that but it does not work either. I try Diskimage, iso and then when I try to search for my file it only shows the root directory tree | 02:53 |
| UbuBegin | theadmin, how do i add the line numbers and also there seems to be grayed indentation (how to remove that? | 02:53 |
| theadmin | UbuBegin: I don't know about indentation, never saw this. As for line numbers, :set nu | 02:54 |
| UbuBegin | theadmin, thanks will do that | 02:54 |
| treyh | diamonds: might be turned off in the bios | 02:54 |
| subarubdub | so can libre still edit doc/docx and xls/xlsx | 02:54 |
| * diamonds bangs head on table | 02:54 | |
| diamonds | treyh: thank you for the suggestion but that is SO f'ing unlikely :p | 02:55 |
| theadmin | subarubdub: Yes it can | 02:55 |
| theadmin | subarubdub: LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice | 02:55 |
| treyh | keithclark: copy your iso to the root directory for a few minutes and call it good | 02:55 |
| subarubdub | schweeet | 02:55 |
| subarubdub | thanks | 02:55 |
| keithclark | treyh, got it figured out, thanks! | 02:55 |
| treyh | diamonds: no reason to be so negative | 02:55 |
| diamonds | treyh: if it is, it's some magical ubuntu bios manipulation, because it never happened in XP | 02:55 |
| diamonds | treyh: sorry :( | 02:55 |
| diamonds | I'm just frustrate because there doesn't seem to be any systematic way to fix this very common issue | 02:56 |
| diamonds | it's "try a half dozen things and see if any of them work" | 02:56 |
| treyh | diamonds: have you googled it? | 02:56 |
| diamonds | (it's not your fault) | 02:56 |
| diamonds | treyh: yes | 02:56 |
| diamonds | I don't find info for my 1. version 2. model 3. wireless card | 02:57 |
| diamonds | sometimes I find one or two points matching | 02:57 |
| diamonds | usually just one... | 02:57 |
| treyh | diamonds: you tried: linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic | 02:57 |
| propman | diamonds: in that paste to http://pastie.org/2359006 on the screen it says you are running an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and therefore not a Broadcom wireless | 02:57 |
| diamonds | propman: agreed | 02:57 |
| t0rc | So my touchpad is messed up. I'm on a Sony Vaio and the mouse buttons don't always register. They are very intermittent and such. It's a bit frustrating. | 02:58 |
| diamonds | that's a command? | 02:58 |
| treyh | thats a software package | 02:58 |
| t0rc | I'm wondering if there's any way for me to fix that. | 02:58 |
| treyh | sec researching it more | 02:58 |
| diamonds | treyh: found it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285 | 02:59 |
| treyh | diamonds: nice find, worth a shot! | 02:59 |
| treyh | sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic | 03:00 |
| diamonds | treyh: I tried :9 | 03:00 |
| diamonds | no package found :( | 03:00 |
| treyh | do sudo apt-get update | 03:00 |
| treyh | then try again | 03:00 |
| diamonds | still doesn't find it | 03:01 |
| diamonds | and when I go thru the website software center says there's no such package | 03:01 |
| treyh | diamonds: might have removed it | 03:02 |
| nfirvine | Hi all, need help with runlevels/upstart, namely that I want a custom runlevel, but upstart apparently doesn't support them? | 03:03 |
| diamonds | treyh: I see | 03:03 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Right, there are no runlevels in Ubuntu | 03:04 |
| hiroko | Hello, I need to wipe an HDD. I want to do it faster than normal, so i just want to set every fourth bit to zero. How can I do this with a shell command? | 03:04 |
| treyh | diamonds: the only thing i can suggest is to try using 10.10's drivers and etc. for your card | 03:05 |
| diamonds | treyh: how do I do that? | 03:05 |
| treyh | diamonds: if that doesn't work, try another version of different ubuntu flavor, 10.04 was pretty solid | 03:05 |
| diamonds | and why did they choose to break wireless on 11.04? | 03:05 |
| diamonds | was this a business decision? | 03:05 |
| diamonds | I mean, why would you update something to make it work less? | 03:06 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: Okay, maybe I can accomplish this another way. Instead of powering off my desktop at night, I want it to go into "server mode" where it would consume less power but still serve files, etc. Mainly, I want to stop X (gdm). | 03:06 |
| treyh | i'm sure that was their goal | 03:06 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Well, this is Linux for ya | 03:06 |
| treyh | diamonds: they don't want your wireless to work | 03:06 |
| diamonds | theadmin: don't say that, you make it sound like linux sucks! | 03:06 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: You can boot it with "text" appended to your kernel line. | 03:06 |
| treyh | diamonds: lol to make things better, things have to change. with change and innovation comes success and failure | 03:06 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Nope, just up-to-date-ness is above stability. | 03:06 |
| diamonds | that roxx | 03:06 |
| treyh | diamonds: 10.04 is considered the long term support version, aka LTS | 03:07 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Or you can just... "sudo service gdm stop" | 03:07 |
| diamonds | sure, I can't connect to the internet... | 03:07 |
| treyh | diamonds: LTS is more stable, 11.04 is newer but less stable :) | 03:07 |
| diamonds | but check out this expose effect! | 03:07 |
| diamonds | treyh: ok | 03:07 |
| * diamonds sobs | 03:07 | |
| nfirvine | theadmin: Yep, but I'd rather not have to restart the whole machine. Yeah, I could just stop all the services I want, but it feels like there'd be a better way to do it (like runlevels ;) | 03:07 |
| diamonds | but I had it working yesterday!!! | 03:07 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Except there ain't | 03:08 |
| treyh | diamonds: if you want stability go back to 10.04 | 03:08 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Maybe you should try another distro for a server, *with* those :D | 03:08 |
| propman | diamonds: fwiw, the PRO/Wireless 3945ABG has worked right out of the box for me on my laptop for several linux mint installs now (currently at linux mint 11) | 03:08 |
| diamonds | those pricks.... 11.04 is the default version to download at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 03:08 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: You're saying start with server then add on top? Thing is I want both, and the ability to switch between :D | 03:08 |
| diamonds | they should call it unstable if it is in fact unstable | 03:09 |
| treyh | diamonds: there is a dropdown to choose your version | 03:09 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: What I mean is, if you want runlevels maybe Ubuntu's not for you | 03:09 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: Also, noticed that in /etc/init/gdm.conf, this line: stop on runlevel [016] | 03:09 |
| diamonds | treyh: "the DEFAULT version" | 03:09 |
| treyh | !ignore | diamonds | 03:09 |
| ubottu | diamonds: If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname | 03:09 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: so obviously it knows something about runlevels | 03:09 |
| diamonds | treyh: I don't not want to see your msgs :) | 03:09 |
| celltech | Software center is refusing to instal programs I download | 03:09 |
| ttuttle | How do I turn off Compiz? | 03:09 |
| treyh | diamonds: again no need to be a negative nancy | 03:10 |
| diamonds | but you see that I'm saying it's the "default" version, right? | 03:10 |
| diamonds | treyh: k | 03:10 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Ah yes, but you have to configure them yourself :D | 03:10 |
| syntaxx | is there a way i can preserve the home directory during preseeding? | 03:10 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: man update-rc.d | 03:10 |
| treyh | diamonds: you're in the box, you hate the box, there is no helping you, install windows | 03:10 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: Exactly, and it looks like the /etc/init/ files are not for hand tweaking | 03:10 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: and I already used sysv-rc-conf, but gdm is disabled in it already | 03:11 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: Ah, odd | 03:11 |
| diamonds | how to fix ubuntu wireless on your dell (according to #ubuntu): "Install windows" | 03:11 |
| diamonds | gotcha | 03:11 |
| diamonds | I'm so close... | 03:12 |
| diamonds | I can taste my wireless internet | 03:12 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: I think because it's a pure upstart service | 03:12 |
| theadmin | nfirvine: As I said, check update-rc.d out, I think that still works | 03:13 |
| diamonds | down at the very bottom: http://pastie.org/pastes/2359145/text | 03:13 |
| diamonds | what does this mean? "wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:off/any " | 03:13 |
| diamonds | ESSID:off/any? | 03:13 |
| nfirvine | theadmin: Cool, I will thanks. Now I'm leaning towards just tweaking /etc/init/gdm.conf | 03:13 |
| diamonds | does that mean it's off? | 03:13 |
| diamonds | eh... I'll try restarting again | 03:14 |
| Kumquat | I'm trying to use my laptop to set up a network bridge using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge, but now I don't seem to have an Internet connection on either computer | 03:18 |
| diamonds | wireless working! | 03:21 |
| diamonds | reset 3 times, just like XP | 03:21 |
| diamonds | I think it might have to do with the state of the hardware switch ON STARTUP | 03:22 |
| diamonds | like, I think you maybe can't change it once the computer is running | 03:22 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Could be | 03:22 |
| theadmin | diamonds: Awkward hardware issues | 03:22 |
| noneabove1182 | anyone know how to delete a ppa ? | 03:23 |

| diamonds | well I was gonna sort out this issue then watch a show | 03:23 |
| diamonds | but now it's been 2hrs... | 03:23 |
| theadmin | noneabove1182: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/your-ppa.list | 03:23 |

| diamonds | oh whellll | 03:23 |
| diamonds | thx everyone! I'll leave trayh a note... | 03:23 |

| theadmin | noneabove1182: apt-get install ppa-purge ; ppa-purge your-ppa | 03:25 |
| theadmin | noneabove1182: Just an easier way :D | 03:26 |
| noneabove1182 | and should that be the url in place of "your-ppa"? | 03:26 |
| hanasaki | is there a java7 packet for natty? | 03:26 |
| theadmin | noneabove1182: No, it should be a ppa address like ppa:mozilla-team/firefox-stable | 03:26 |
| mrdeb | is firefox 3618 still safe to use | 03:27 |
| theadmin | mrdeb: I wouldn't | 03:27 |
| noneabove1182 | theadmin alright ill take a loot thanks | 03:28 |
| tswift | Hi | 03:28 |
| tswift | any idea how to make my terminal copy text when it is selected? | 03:29 |
| coz_ | twitch, shift+ctrl+c | 03:29 |
| JakeWharton | hi all, i'm installing ubuntu on a fresh bare metal machine and am facing issues with a crap SATA controller allowing booting from a mirror or even single drive. I was hoping to use GRUB on a USB flash drive (since that boots fine) and boot a mdam mirror. It all seems straightforward on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID but i'm curious when I install GRUB how do I point it to the mirror so it'll boot even if | 03:29 |
| JakeWharton | a drive is failed? | 03:29 |
| tswift | but in redhat it works without doing shift+ctrl+c | 03:29 |
| tswift | just copies automatically | 03:29 |
| tswift | or maybe its the vnc client that does it | 03:30 |
| tswift | anyways | 03:30 |
| tswift | wish I could have it that way | 03:30 |
| mrdeb | so why is it not ugprade | 03:30 |
| mrdeb | upgraded | 03:31 |

| konsumer | oh, i see, lol | 03:39 |
| DoYouKnow | any ideas? | 03:39 |

| numberstation | hello | 04:09 |
| numberstation | i have a quick question, how do i check if there is a duplicate entry in a file? | 04:10 |
| theadmin | numberstation: entry? | 04:10 |
| numberstation | like, i've got a bunch of words in a file | 04:10 |
| DoYouKnow | I'm looking at some of the updated ubuntu 10.10 packages... they have such futuristic names | 04:10 |
| numberstation | it's structured like "word word word word word" | 04:10 |
| numberstation | how do i make sure that each word is UNIQUE? | 04:11 |
| edbian | numberstation: using python is how I would | 04:11 |
| DoYouKnow | sort -u, I think | 04:11 |
| DoYouKnow | numberstation: | 04:11 |
| DoYouKnow | or is it -a | 04:11 |
| DoYouKnow | I think it's -u | 04:11 |
| numberstation | could you write an example command? | 04:12 |
| rww | #ubuntu is not #homeworkhelp | 04:12 |
| Kumquat | I'm trying to use my laptop to set up a network bridge using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge, but now I don't seem to have an Internet connection on either computer | 04:12 |
| DoYouKnow | numberstation: use awk/sed (forget which one, a google search should say) to seperate out the words, then use sort -u, to make them unique | 04:13 |
| DoYouKnow | which is basically a replacement of a space with a \r or a \n | 04:13 |
| DoYouKnow | wait, I'm not even sure that's needed... numberstation | 04:14 |
| numberstation | i'm REALLY bad a scripting, i'm not really a linux user | 04:14 |
| DoYouKnow | try "cat file.txt | sort -u" | 04:14 |
| numberstation | could you ...tell me which commands to put into my shell ?:P | 04:14 |
| datruth | Does anyone know of away in ubuntu using openvpn, to track down clients vpn assigned ip and traffic associated via firewall/iptables? | 04:15 |
| th0r | rww: maybe it is #homeworkhelp <smile> | 04:15 |
| qin | numberstation: wc ? | 04:15 |
| numberstation | wc? | 04:16 |
| numberstation | what's wc? | 04:16 |
| DoYouKnow | numberstation: "cat file.txt | sort -u" | 04:16 |
| qin | numberstation: word count | 04:16 |
| DoYouKnow | where file.txt is the file | 04:16 |
| DoYouKnow | that contains the words you want to be unique | 04:16 |
| arrty | how can i run a test on my hard drive | 04:16 |
| arrty | to see if it's failing | 04:16 |
| numberstation | wait wait wait, imma gonna pastebin a sample file | 04:16 |
| nardev | hi, does anyone know about software that can turn your PC into ham radio station by using wi-fi antenna? | 04:17 |
| mattgyver | numberstation, I think you can just uniq | 04:17 |

| numberstation | http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=EPE47uPc | 04:17 |
| th0r | nardev: now that would be a cute trick | 04:17 |
| numberstation | wait, each word isn't on it's own line :P | 04:18 |
| nardev | th0r, :) | 04:18 |
| numberstation | it's one long line of "word word word word" | 04:18 |
| KatronixSerf | hi all, which file do I edit so that Ubuntu will never start X automatically? | 04:18 |
| mattgyver | numberstation, try putting that all in a file and try, uniq -u <path to file> | 04:18 |
| mattgyver | blah, that might not work | 04:19 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| numberstation | how do i how do i split the file into one word per line? | 04:20 |
| tensorpudding | numberstation: you could replace all instances of spaces with newlines | 04:20 |
| zykotick9 | KatronixSerf, one method is "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm /etc/init/gdm.disabled" | 04:20 |
| KatronixSerf | ok | 04:20 |
| numberstation | tensorpudding: how do I do that? | 04:20 |
| tensorpudding | numberstation: sed or a reasonably smart text editor could do it | 04:21 |
| KatronixSerf | zykotick9, is that the best way? | 04:21 |
| numberstation | tensorpudding: i don' know these tools | 04:21 |
| zykotick9 | KatronixSerf, easiest for sure | 04:22 |
| numberstation | DEAR EVERYONE, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING ON THE COMMAND LINE, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE | 04:22 |
| KatronixSerf | zykotick9, ok | 04:22 |
| th0r | numberstation: please don't shout | 04:22 |
| numberstation | (not shouting, just making an announcement :P) | 04:22 |
| mattgyver | numberstation, sed -i 's/ /\n/g' <file path> | 04:23 |
| KatronixSerf | zykotick9, mv: cannot stat `/etc/init/gdm': No such file or directory | 04:23 |
| zykotick9 | KatronixSerf, "ls /etc/init/gdm*" | 04:23 |
| numberstation | THAT WORKED! | 04:23 |
| numberstation | so, how do i make sure each line is unique? | 04:24 |
| mattgyver | so now try doing, uniq -u <path to file> | 04:24 |
| th0r | KatronixSerf: you might try just 'sudo service gdm stop' and see if that does it | 04:24 |
| === jsec is now known as jsecl0ngn1ck | ||
| mattgyver | see if that works, cuz now there on seperate lines | 04:24 |
| === jsecl0ngn1ck is now known as jsec | ||
| zykotick9 | KatronixSerf, are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu or something else? | 04:24 |
| tensorpudding | numberstation: oh, in the future, gedit can do it | 04:24 |
| numberstation | oh, sort it, then try the uniq thing? | 04:24 |
| rootkitinstaller | Is there any way to find out how old my existing Ubuntu install is? I want to make sure this install is at least older than one week... | 04:24 |
| mattgyver | yea | 04:24 |
| numberstation | hwo do I sort it again? | 04:24 |
| KatronixSerf | zykotick9, I'm using ubuntu. I want to make it so it never enters run level 5 | 04:24 |
| KatronixSerf | even on reboot | 04:25 |
| tensorpudding | numberstation: just replace, and search for a space, and replace with \n | 04:25 |
| mattgyver | numberstation, if it does, you could just make it all one command by doing; sed -i 's/ /\n/g' <path> | uniq -u <path> | 04:25 |
| tensorpudding | numberstation: it's smart enough to match \n as a newline, and not a literal \n | 04:25 |
| zykotick9 | KatronixSerf, right you need to disable GDM - forget about runlevels, they don't really apply on Ubuntu | 04:25 |
| numberstation | grawr this isn't working | 04:25 |

| Hencha | anybody know how to brute force file ts ? | 04:42 |
| bullgard4_ | therugi: This depends on your Ubuntu distribution version and your display manager. | 04:43 |
| mattgyver | cypha, if you want to check it out just run, good luck though; sudo sh /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh | 04:43 |
| bullgard4_ | stephenthemartyr: Good. | 04:43 |
| cypha | mattgyver: i'm instead gonna use vbox to take a snapshot | 04:43 |
| cypha | i think that's the safest | 04:43 |
| therugi | bullgard4_: figured it out, just set auto login to false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf :) thanks anyway | 04:43 |

| cypha | too bad my ssd is only 128 | 04:45 |
| stephenthemartyr | anyone know why a song would be playing super fast in lmms? | 04:46 |
| mattgyver | cypha, its probably all relative, same hardware, and windows uses more resources than linux | 04:46 |
| cypha | stephenthemartyr: drugs | 04:46 |
| therugi | phew, ok, turned off timed log in too, that seemed to fix it, ah finally | 04:47 |
| cypha | mattgyver: at least windows runs smoothly. linux is disgustingly slow when it comes to X | 04:47 |

| theadmin | bullgard4_: Odd, that file is normally a text file containing your motd | 04:51 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Not a symlink | 04:52 |
| mattgyver | cypha, the issue is i might not have the time to invest in xen and virtualbox could likely suit my needs | 04:52 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: That's what I have read in Wikipedia too. | 04:52 |
| cypha | mattgyver: if you didn't go with xen, why would you need virtualbox? | 04:53 |

| mattgyver | cypha, I would probably just make a few VMs on my home server instead and just connect to them remotely | 04:54 |
| cypha | i still don't understand what the vm's are for? | 04:54 |
| therugi | man, i suck at openboxing :( | 04:55 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| mattgyver | cypha, because it will be a completely virtualized network. So instead of having like an office PC and personal PC, it will just be two vms but I can connect anywhere | 04:56 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest66667 | ||
| cypha | aah, gotcha | 04:57 |
| cypha | but you really don't need multiple vm's for that | 04:57 |
| cypha | you can just create different users | 04:57 |
| jen | question!!! | 04:58 |
| jen | how do I make lid adjustments | 04:58 |
| jen | for when I want to make my computor shut off when I close the lid? | 04:58 |
| jen | laptop I should say | 04:58 |
| mattgyver | True, but I want it all to be on completely "separated" instances because each actually have different use cases | 04:58 |
| urlin2u | jen, power management | 04:58 |
| airtonix | :< i need the devel version of inkscape so i can get the qrcode extension. wish they would just provide it as a standalone plugin. | 04:59 |
| jen | what does hibernate do? | 05:00 |
| mattgyver | jen, hibernate basically does a shutdown but remembers the systems state. | 05:00 |
| jen | sweet ok | 05:00 |
| jen | thank you | 05:00 |
| mattgyver | jen, np | 05:01 |
| airtonix | jen: hibernate writes the contents of ram to the swap parition before power off completely | 05:01 |
| jen | umm | 05:01 |
| jen | heheh I got it ^^ | 05:01 |
| urlin2u | jen, good deal. ;) | 05:02 |
| jen | what does spin down hard disks do? | 05:02 |
| mattgyver | jen, basically stops the hard disks to conserve power. | 05:02 |
| jen | I just dont like my computor getting hot | 05:03 |
| jen | it has shut down a couple times | 05:03 |
| jen | because of that | 05:03 |
| csdserver | which part is getting hot? cpu probably? | 05:03 |
| jen | what? | 05:03 |
| jen | well wait...thats not why I came in here | 05:04 |
| jen | everytime I shut the lid | 05:04 |
| mattgyver | jen, honestly its a machine that you have to run a lot (like my laptop I use almost 8 hours a day for work) just get a cooling station. Otherwise just set your timeout options for like every 15 or 30 min of idle time | 05:04 |
| jen | it doesnt suspend | 05:04 |
| theadmin | jen: System -> Prefrences -> Power management -> Action on laptop lid close | 05:04 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: Do you use Lucid? | 05:04 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Sorry? | 05:04 |
| jen | yeah it was already like that | 05:05 |
| jen | let me try it once more | 05:05 |
| jen | I do it slowly...maybe thats why | 05:05 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: Where does /etc/mod point to on your Lucid? | 05:05 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: I'm not on Lucid o_o | 05:05 |
| jen | would that be the problem? | 05:05 |
| csdserver | it should trigger no matter how fast or slow, unless the leads are broken at the connection points | 05:05 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: Thank you. | 05:06 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: For what? | 05:06 |
| jen | ok well Im gonna do it quickly and if I fix it | 05:06 |
| jen | I wont come back here | 05:06 |
| mattgyver | jen, its possible too that the hardware also isnt properly supported and if thats the case, its hell to work out. | 05:06 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: Thank you for your information and the time you have spent to as an attention to my question. | 05:06 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, if i recall /etc/motd is the what is displayed to telnet session users | 05:07 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, maybe also ftp, i cant recall but its something like that. thats probably why its even alerting you. | 05:07 |
| bullgard4_ | mattgyver: Yes. But in Ubuntu normally this is the text that you will see after logging in on a virtual console. | 05:08 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, you could probably just create the file to fix the symlink i would imagine, im pretty sure its nothing more than just text | 05:10 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Well, on my system /etc/motd is an empty text file. | 05:10 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: What distribution version are you using? | 05:11 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Well, that's unrelated because I use Arch :D | 05:11 |
| monaDeveloper | Hi | 05:11 |
| monaDeveloper | I just moved an executable file to ntfs part | 05:11 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, im on lucid and its blank on mine | 05:11 |
| bullgard4_ | theadmin: So Arch does solve this task differntly from Ubuntu. | 05:11 |
| monaDeveloper | but it doesn't execute anymore | 05:11 |
| monaDeveloper | even I tried many times to set the executable flag | 05:12 |
| bullgard4_ | mattgyver: Ah! Intersting. | 05:12 |
| monaDeveloper | but nothing | 05:12 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, actually hang on one sec | 05:12 |
| === castiel is now known as Sadado_sem_vergo | ||
| monaDeveloper | is there a solution to this issue | 05:12 |
| theadmin | bullgard4_: Yeah, /var/run/motd doesn't exist for me | 05:12 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, yeah it doesnt exist for me either actually. I have /etc/motd that is a symlink to /var/run/motd but /var/run/motd doesnt exist. | 05:14 |
| bullgard4_ | mattgyver: So /etc/motd is a dead symlink in your computer too? | 05:15 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, yea | 05:15 |
| monaDeveloper | anybody there? | 05:15 |
| freezway | Yeah | 05:15 |
| bullgard4_ | !ask monaDeveloper | 05:15 |
| urlin2u | monaDeveloper, what type of executable aimed at what. | 05:15 |
| bullgard4_ | !ask | monaDeveloper | 05:15 |
| ubottu | monaDeveloper: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:15 |
| monaDeveloper | ok thank you | 05:16 |
| monaDeveloper | I have a linux file located in ntfs | 05:16 |
| mattgyver | bullgard4, are you getting some sort of error message about it? How did you notice it? | 05:16 |
| bullgard4_ | mattgyver: My mc prints /etc/motd in striking read. | 05:17 |
| bullgard4_ | mattgyver: My mc prints /etc/motd in striking red. | 05:17 |
| monaDeveloper | oops sorry again I've a linux file located in ntfs partition it did work when it's located of course on ext | 05:17 |
| mattgyver | ahh | 05:17 |
| theadmin | monaDeveloper: mount -o remount,exec,rw /your/ntfs/partition | 05:18 |
| monaDeveloper | theadmin: ok I will try that | 05:18 |
| theadmin | monaDeveloper: You can't really set the executable flag the normal way on Linux executables in NTFS | 05:18 |
| monaDeveloper | theadmin: so how can I do that | 05:20 |
| goddard | ok so i got the fresco logic usb 3.0 working | 05:21 |
| goddard | finally | 05:21 |
| jen | well um | 05:21 |
| jen | it still will not suspend | 05:21 |
| theadmin | monaDeveloper: Just run the command I gave (as root) | 05:22 |
| monaDeveloper | theadmin: ok | 05:22 |
| mattgyver | jen, does the light at least turn off when you close the lid? | 05:23 |
| jen | no | 05:24 |
| jen | will it hurt my computor if I set it to shut down? | 05:24 |
| a111 | I have Grub installed with a link to windows 7, cna i just remove grub and windows 7 will still boot? | 05:25 |
| jen | I heard that may harm my computor | 05:25 |
| urlin2u | a111, no | 05:25 |
| mattgyver | jen, if it works, it could over time hurt the filesystem | 05:25 |
| mattgyver | jen, by chance was this a windows install of ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| a111 | so ill need to fix my MBR? | 05:25 |
| jen | well i just installed a virtualbox | 05:25 |
| urlin2u | a111, yeah just one command from the install or recovery disc for W7. | 05:25 |
| jen | well wait | 05:26 |
| jen | when I shut the lid it goes to a black screen | 05:26 |
| mattgyver | jen, okay | 05:26 |
| jen | it wont come out of suspend | 05:26 |
| a111 | Im installing Debian over the ubuntu install i had GRUB installed for, I didnt make a seppeaate /boot or /home partition. fml. | 05:26 |
| mattgyver | jen, i have that same problem with that and hibernate. In my experience ive never seen a laptop properly support either, in my experiences. | 05:26 |
| urlin2u | a11, it is not a wubi that now goes to grub is it? | 05:27 |
| jen | oki doki | 05:27 |
| jen | well it was working for a while... | 05:27 |
| a111 | Nah, i installed it from disk urlin2u | 05:27 |
| a111 | not from within iwndows | 05:27 |
| mattgyver | jen, its really hard to say and to fix it goes pretty deep from what ive looked at | 05:27 |
| urlin2u | a111, easy fix if you have the mentioned discs. | 05:27 |
| jen | ok | 05:28 |
| mattgyver | jen, mine is like, half and half. hibernate never works, but sleep sometimes does. | 05:28 |
| a111 | Im just installing debain anyway, so ill just reconfigure it i suppose | 05:28 |
| jen | ok | 05:28 |
| hack27_ | tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now | 05:28 |

| mattgyver | hack27_, corrupt downoad? | 05:29 |
| mattgyver | anyway to verify the md5sum? | 05:29 |
| bug2000 | Can anyone please help me with ipblock/iplist? | 05:30 |
| hack27_ | wats up | 05:30 |
| bug2000 | It seems like it kills all outgoing connections after a while. | 05:31 |
| lauratika | hello every one, how can i read a external HD hfs (mac) on ubuntu? ithink my external just died. | 05:31 |
| bug2000 | Not only the ones in the filter list. | 05:31 |
| theadmin | lauratika: There is hfsprogs | 05:31 |
| theadmin | lauratika: If it's not preinstalled apt-get it | 05:32 |
| hack27_ | u check the network setting | 05:32 |
| hack27_ | in ipblock | 05:32 |
| Pat201 | can someone give me a basic idea of what a shell script is? | 05:32 |
| mattgyver | lauratika, shot in the dark, but you could likely plug it and mount it manually, mount -t hfs /dev/<location> | 05:32 |
| lauratika | theadmin: thanx...does this works even if is dead...on mac wont be recognized? | 05:33 |
| mattgyver | Pat201, a shell script is a series of commands that perform a specific action (or many). | 05:33 |
| theadmin | lauratika: I don't think it'd work | 05:33 |
| lauratika | mattgyver: by location you mean? | 05:33 |
| mattgyver | lauratika, an easy test might be just plug it in, and do a sudo fdisk -l | 05:34 |
| mattgyver | if you see a new device in the list, then its not a power fault. If you dont, it could be. If you do see it, try to mount it. | 05:34 |
| mattgyver | lauratika, so i guess i should say, do;sudo fdisk -l - then plug it in - and run the command again. | 05:35 |
| fornowiamhere | lauratika, can you see it in bios? | 05:35 |
| lauratika | nope | 05:36 |
| lauratika | fornowiamhere | 05:36 |
| fornowiamhere | then... I hope you didn't had something really important on it... | 05:37 |
| gokul | hi all | 05:38 |
| lauratika | fornowiamhere well just pix and music but still... was my back up :'( | 05:38 |
| gokul | any one tell me channel name of linux | 05:39 |
| theadmin | gokul: ##linux ? | 05:39 |
| fornowiamhere | if you cannot see it in bios the is really bad.. There might be another way: remove the hdd from its case and connect it directlly to the pc (sata) | 05:40 |
| ru6yxx | I managed to save a HD that wasn't powering up once, after some liquid damage | 05:40 |
| gokul | anyone help me i forget my netgear login password for wifi.... | 05:40 |
| ru6yxx | I took it apart and connected to a SATA drive on my desktop | 05:41 |
| mattgyver | gokul, hold down the reset button on your router ;D | 05:41 |
| mattgyver | fixes all problems. | 05:41 |
| mattgyver | gokul, make sure you figure out what your default admin username and password are for your brand router first though | 05:41 |
| gokul | thankz mattgyver | 05:41 |
| urlin2u | lauratika, if you can get the HD to show you might try this for recovery. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 05:42 |
| ru6yxx | I managed to copy all the files over | 05:42 |
| gokul | actualy i forget my default user name and password | 05:42 |
| gokul | 07 of my router | 05:42 |
| mattgyver | gokul, you only need it so you can get back in and enable your wifi or other custom settings (if necessary) | 05:43 |
| gokul | thanks bro | 05:44 |

| superman097 | i want to ask, why i failed when installing libreoffice on my ubuntu lucid? --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/663970/ | 05:45 |
| gokul | anyone tell me i want to increse my skills in hacking anyone suggest me the network or channel name | 05:45 |
| sravanje | plz tell me anybody iam unable to download some packages | 05:45 |
| ru6yxx | You will usually find that what is inside the External HD shell is just an ordinary SATA drive, so you can still recover stuff by plugging it into a motherboard directly | 05:46 |
| mattgyver | superman097, did you try installing libreoffice-core ? | 05:46 |
| sravanje | it is saying error or unable to fetch | 05:46 |

| gokul | anyone tell me i want to increse my skills in hacking anyone suggest me the network or channel name | 05:47 |
| mattgyver | sravanje, what package are you trying to install? | 05:47 |
| superman097 | @mattgyver yes openoffice installed curently | 05:48 |
| superman097 | so better i removed first? isn't it? | 05:48 |
| mattgyver | superman097, im pretty confident you need to remove openoffice prior to upgrading to libreoffice | 05:48 |
| KM0201 | gokul: if you try going to a true "hacker" channel, you're gonna get "powned".. i'd suggest googling. | 05:48 |
| superman097 | ok matt i'll try first, thx for u'r suggest | 05:49 |
| fornowiamhere | gokul, you needed help recovering yor password for your router and now you want to improve your hacking skills? | 05:49 |
| sravanje | mattgyver: i tried first update manager it is saying the server is not ready or check network connection or hardware support | 05:49 |
| gokul | thaks buddy.....what is "powned" | 05:49 |

| sravanje | i want to upgrade to newer version | 05:51 |
| mattgyver | sravanje, so you are trying to upgrade your entire OS then correct? | 05:51 |

| fructose | I'm doing a file transfer right now to a Windows 7 machine on my network and it's only getting 300 KB/sec. Both systems can download far faster from the Internet. Any idea what might be going on? | 06:02 |

| danaka | howdy | 06:06 |
| SHVELO | howdy pardner | 06:07 |
| danaka | So, I'm running an Asus netbook 1005HA and am planning to install ubuntu. I was wondering if there would be a noticeable speed increase if i were to install xubuntu rather than the regular ubuntu | 06:08 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| SHVELO | danaka: i think so | 06:09 |
| danaka | SHVELO: what would you recommend? xubuntu or lubuntu? | 06:10 |
| mattgyver | danaka, I would say the machine meet the minimum requirements just go with ubuntu, otherwise yeah go with xubuntu | 06:10 |
| fructose | Anyone know how Ubuntu does file transfers? In 11.04 I guess samba isn't installed by default, it seems | 06:12 |
| ru6yxx | I have a triple boot system but I can't get startup manager to start up the other OS's automatically, so I have to do it manually every time from the GRUB boot screen | 06:13 |
| mattgyver | ru6yxx, thats kinda how it works, you pick one as your default (automatic) or select another manually | 06:13 |
| mattgyver | fructose, I am not sure the transfer is related to samba as ive never run into any issues myself. Is it possible the network has a high load on it right now or an old or bad card? | 06:14 |
| WRAz | bleh so my compizconfig just blew away my entire UI... is there a hotkey or anything to log off with? | 06:14 |
| edris | hello friend | 06:14 |
| fructose | mattgyver: Nope, it's a home network with 2 computers less than a year old | 06:15 |
| edris | adakah orang indonesia di sini | 06:15 |
| WRAz | restart it is >.> | 06:15 |
| fructose | mattgyver: Both can download at full speed externally, which is 7mbps | 06:15 |
| ru6yxx | mattgyver: what I mean is that if I point at Windows to start automatically, using startup manager, the Grub boot ignores me and continues starting up Ubuntu | 06:15 |
| glebihan | ru6yxx, if I understand, you would like grub to remember your last choice ? | 06:16 |
| mattgyver | fructose, yeah that is kinda strange. Though, even if samba could throttle it would likely be something not configured out of the box. | 06:17 |
| glebihan | ru6yxx, or do you only want to change the default boot system ? | 06:17 |
| ru6yxx | glebihan: Yes and startup manager doesn't seem to save my settings. | 06:17 |
| fructose | mattgyver: Well, I just installed the 'samba' package, so I'm not even sure how things were being sent before | 06:17 |
| glebihan | ru6yxx, startupmanager doesn't work with grub2 | 06:18 |
| ru6yxx | oh! but it used to on 10.10 | 06:18 |
| mattgyver | fructose, ubuntu has ntfs support installed with ntfsprogs so i imagine thats how | 06:18 |
| glebihan | ru6yxx, edit /etc/default/grub, add the lines "GRUB_DEFAULT=saved" and "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true" then run "sudo update-grub" | 06:18 |
| ru6yxx | ok thanks | 06:19 |
| === babilen is now known as Guest42086 | ||
| mattgyver | fructose, actually theres also a package related with nautilus, i cant remember what its called though for sharing that it uses | 06:19 |
| fructose | mattgyver: I'm not sure what you mean. NTFS is a filesystem | 06:20 |
| SHVELO | ru6yxx: use super boot manager | 06:20 |
| glebihan | fructose, the "samba" package is used to run a samba server, not to access a windows network | 06:20 |
| fructose | glebihan: Ah, right. Do you know what service would be used to access the windows network? I'd like to restart it | 06:21 |
| ru6yxx | SHVELO: Thanks, I'll read up on it | 06:21 |
| glebihan | fructose, I think it's "smbd", but I'm not sure, haven't used samba for some time now | 06:22 |
| fructose | glebihan: I was under the impression smbd was samba | 06:22 |
| fructose | glebihan: And part of the samba package | 06:22 |
| KM0201 | yes, it's smbd | 06:23 |
| KM0201 | sudo service smbd stop/start | 06:23 |
| mattgyver | fructose, actually theres also a package related with nautilus, i cant remember what its called though for sharing that it uses | 06:23 |
| mattgyver | bah, sorry | 06:23 |
| glebihan | fructose, you're right, smbd is part of the samba package and is only used by the server | 06:24 |
| mattgyver | fructose, what i meant to say: smbd is samba server, and part of samba. I think linux natively sees NTFS filesystems but just cant read/write to them and sees them as unknown types, ntfsprogs allows read/write | 06:25 |
| mattgyver | fructose, so the only "network" service would probably be network manager in this case, /etc/init.d/network-manager | 06:25 |
| fructose | Ugg. I don't want to restart that | 06:26 |
| mattgyver | but, it could also be a problem on the other end too with the win7 box, hard to say so you might need to restart the tcp/ip stack on that | 06:26 |
| fructose | Kinda doubt it. In my experience it's always been the Linux end of things screwing up :-) | 06:26 |
| mattgyver | fructose, might sound dumb but how are you copying the file, (ie: nautilus, cp?) | 06:27 |
| fructose | matt1s: Nautilus, yeah | 06:27 |
| fructose | err, mattgyver | 06:27 |
| me-1 | hi...is there any way i can install safari in ubuntu 10.04 | 06:28 |
| mattgyver | me-1, maybe in wine but I havent seen a linux package | 06:28 |
| mattgyver | fructose, hmm, not really sure tbh. Crazy things happen when windows and linux throw a party | 06:29 |
| gokul | what is unix....it is a os | 06:29 |
| mattgyver | fructose, Theres really no way to throttle a dl/upload though unless your using wget or some third party utility that I know of | 06:30 |
| shannon | Anyone that uses netflix? After installing Ubuntu 11 no extras, netflix played movies just fine. I'm thinking there was an update or something and it no longer will play. Says I need windows. This just started a couple weeks or so ago. Anyone got an answer for me on this one. Looking online all i get is netflix has not worked on linux but they are working on it... | 06:30 |
| mattgyver | or maybe iptables | 06:30 |
| fructose | Just going to try a network restart for now... | 06:30 |
| fructose | test | 06:31 |
| fructose | Am I still here? | 06:31 |
| fructose | Guess so. Editing my smb.conf and /etc/init.d/networking restart took me from 200 KB/sec to 900 KB/sec | 06:32 |
| airtonix | no | 06:32 |
| fructose | So definitely samba | 06:32 |
| fructose | Still pretty damn slow though for a local network | 06:33 |
| Morrison | hi | 06:33 |
| mattgyver | fructose, what change did you make to your smb.conf? | 06:33 |
| === tfilipczuk is now known as makak | ||

| === aaasd is now known as aaas | ||
| mattgyver | fructose, good find | 06:35 |
| airtonix | fructose: you should try samba4 | 06:36 |
| airtonix | or at least try the recently updated samba 3 | 06:36 |
| Nicolus | how to get the user name? | 06:37 |
| fructose | airtonix: I'm still confused about which of these are servers and which are going to connect me to a Windows Network | 06:37 |
| Nicolus | doing hostname gives me the host name but whats the command for username ? | 06:37 |
| airtonix | fructose: samba is always a server ... | 06:37 |
| airtonix | fructose: any windows/linux machine that partakes in ServerMessageBlock filesharing is both a client and a server. | 06:38 |

| salamcik | just installed an android emulator with whatsapp. NO MORE PHONES! | 08:52 |
| kurtp | My suspect is the theme macbuntu. I think | 08:52 |
| salamcik | i hate carrying around a phone | 08:52 |
| llutz_ | Do you have any ubuntu support related question? salamcik | 08:52 |
| bobobob | I am trhello, I am trying to cp ~/abc/def/ghi.file to /somewhere/lol, and the result being /somewhere/lol/abc/def/ghi.file - that is, I want to copy a single file, relative to the point I am at (~) and auto create the folders it needs to have the same structure | 08:53 |
| bobobob | this is because I don't want to copy all the files that exist there, just about 50% (which I have in a script) | 08:53 |
| psypher246 | salamcik: do you not need a sim card for whatsapp to work? | 08:53 |
| salamcik | llutz_ just wanted to say that its possible in ubuntu 11.04 that is all | 08:53 |
| kurtp | llutz: I will try, I will reboot now. I have dual boot. It's weird. | 08:53 |
| salamcik | llutz_ also i needed to share my joy with the world is that so wrong? | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | salamcik: simple thing, its offtopic here | 08:54 |
| salamcik | :< | 08:54 |
| llutz_ | bobobob: use rsync, not cp for that | 08:56 |
| rabbi11 | 10.04 unable to mount my external hdd (seagate_ | 08:56 |
| bobobob | oh, yeah. you think? so, I have 100 files, and I have a list, on each line, of 50 files I want to move out. so I can run an rsync on one file? | 08:57 |
| bobobob | llutz_: will I need a lot of setup, like setup an rsync root? | 08:58 |
| bobobob | or can it be run as a single file? I am googling, | 08:58 |
| larryone | bobobob, cp -a might do it | 08:58 |
| larryone | ooh | 08:59 |
| bobobob | hrm, lemme see cp -a | 08:59 |
| larryone | does -a actually create necessary path | 08:59 |
| llutz_ | bobobob: use rsync -au and it should only copy those files not existing on target | 08:59 |
| larryone | i cant rememeber | 08:59 |
| llutz_ | (or replace older ones) | 09:00 |
| bobobob | yeah, I could... cp with a destination file (but it only supports a directory right?) | 09:00 |
| bobobob | oh it supports target file... | 09:00 |

| Cradam | hi is their a way to make ubuntu rescan the available monitor resolutions? | 09:01 |
| driller_ | bobobob: what are you trying to accomplish with rsync? | 09:01 |
| bobobob | driller_: not, trying to copy from ~/, run cp a/b/c/file to /tmp and end up with /tmp/a/b/c/file, so needs like cp -c, create, but my cp doesn't have that (says qnx) | 09:02 |
| bobobob | so, how to automatically create necessary directory, I guess I can do a mkdir -r | 09:02 |
| bobobob | or something, in the command, like | 09:03 |

| ubottu | dasdasdasd, please see my private message | 10:27 |
| bazhang | dasdasdasd, with teamspeak? whats the exact nature of your issue | 10:27 |
| llutz_ | phoque: for testing add a line like "logger -t RCLOCAL -g /var/log/messages success $(date +'%F %H%M')" and check logfile later | 10:27 |
| dasdasdasd | teampseak | 10:27 |
| dasdasdasd | you have it? | 10:27 |
| bazhang | dasdasdasd, just saying usb headset with zero details wont get much help | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | like we talk the problem thgrough? | 10:28 |
| Altan | xD | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | :D | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | ok which information could i add | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | the headset doesnt work | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | wether in skype | 10:28 |
| dasdasdasd | or in any test | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | s | 10:29 |
| bazhang | dasdasdasd, distro version, what app it may or may not be working with, model number, etc | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | the lamps a shining | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | so its actually working | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | after i did this | 10:29 |
| Altan | I need information kinda similar to that. On OSX while using a USB based microphone/headset, a support issue from Apple often makes me sound 'robotic' using Ventrilo. I was wondering if Ubuntu would fix it. :3 | 10:29 |

| ubottu | dasdasdasd: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | ps: i hope i am allowed to post links ^^ | 10:29 |
| bazhang | dasdasdasd, on a single line please, its very hard to read otherwise | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | it is finally making a noise | 10:29 |
| dasdasdasd | but u cant here the voice | 10:30 |
| szal | dasdasdasd: now you're contradicting yourself -> [12:28:58] <dasdasdasd> the headset doesnt work [12:29:27] <dasdasdasd> so its actually working | 10:30 |
| bazhang | Altan, are you actually using Ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| Altan | No, I'm on Snow Leopard right now. | 10:30 |
| szal | Altan: we don't support Mac OSX here | 10:30 |
| bazhang | Altan, so how does that relate to Ubuntu support in any way shape or form | 10:30 |
| Altan | I was wondering if there are any similar problems when using Apple hardware with Ubuntu. | 10:31 |
| szal | Altan: try it & see for yourself, that's what live CDs are for | 10:31 |
| bazhang | Altan, yet you have no ubuntu install, correct? check launchpad.net for bugs perhaps | 10:31 |
| Altan | Okay. | 10:31 |
| bazhang | Altan, this is for actual installed system support, not what *may* work | 10:32 |
| Altan | :3 Sorry. | 10:32 |
| Kiak | Hi. | 10:33 |
| ParkerR | Hello | 10:33 |
| bazhang | Kiak, hi altan | 10:33 |
| gry | hey | 10:34 |
| Kiak | Is there a way to get Ubuntu to work with Parallels? | 10:34 |
| bazhang | Kiak, of course | 10:34 |
| Kiak | I didn't see any particular product for it on the Parallels site. | 10:34 |
| ParkerR | Hmm never tried Parallels myself. Sorry | 10:34 |
| bazhang | Kiak, thats really a parallels issue though | 10:34 |
| szal | didn't Pulseaudio have an application for testing the microphone? I saw it one day here from someone's screenshot, but can't remember the name.. | 10:34 |
| Kiak | How? | 10:35 |
| bazhang | szal, thought skype it self did. dasdasdasd never told us whether he adjusted the sound levels or not | 10:35 |
| bazhang | Kiak, check the parallels support forums | 10:35 |
| Kiak | Got a link? :3 | 10:36 |
| bazhang | Kiak, try alis or search the web, not an ubuntu issue | 10:36 |
| bazhang | !alis | Kiak | 10:36 |
| ubottu | Kiak: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* | 10:36 |
| dasdasdasd | ok i finally fixed it on my own! thank you very much for your support! the link did finally did it. bb have a nice day | 10:36 |
| szal | bazhang: to be able to test the mic in Skype you need to have the correct hardware taking up the mic signal; the Skype test is not infinite in length, sadly, so you don't have time to search for the device while the test is running | 10:36 |
| bazhang | szal, thanks for the info, not used it in ages | 10:37 |
| * szal found his mic using Audacity | 10:37 | |
| uabn93 | hey, can someone help me with my trackpad? it doesn't work as soon as i log in to any user. i think a recent update caused this bug. | 10:40 |

| UncleLaz | empathy is under messaging indicator icon | 11:06 |
| miktor | is there a simple command/program to see the battery status? | 11:08 |
| UncleLaz | don't you have battery indicator icon? | 11:09 |
| miktor | no, I'm running dwm | 11:10 |
| miktor | i just forgot the command/program to check the battery status | 11:10 |
| systemclient | how do I enable PHP on vanilla apach2 install? | 11:10 |
| miktor | also i can't get it to read .xinitrc, but this is probably not the place to ask for help with that | 11:10 |
| ArtVanda1ae | systemclient, you need to enable the module, i.e. run a2enmod as root | 11:11 |
| sudokill | miktor- acpi -v | 11:11 |
| sudokill | ? | 11:11 |
| ParkerR | Really? Ubuntu Classic fallback is going away in 11.10? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/739812/comments/5 | 11:11 |

| miktor | that's it ^^ | 11:12 |
| UncleLaz | parker, yes | 11:12 |
| * ParkerR stays with 11.04 | 11:12 | |
| sudokill | lol | 11:12 |
| UncleLaz | xD | 11:12 |
| theadmin | ParkerR: And consider Xfce. Because it's similar to Gnome2 (which is what Ubuntu Classic is) | 11:13 |
| gry | ParkerR: Bah, that's interesting news | 11:13 |
| systemclient | ParkerR: yeah, that is what it seems. Don't you like Unity? :-P | 11:13 |
| ParkerR | I know, right? | 11:13 |
| UncleLaz | i suppose it would be possible to install gnome2 on 10.10, so no need to panick | 11:13 |
| ParkerR | No | 11:13 |
| UncleLaz | 11.10 pardon | 11:13 |
| ParkerR | Haha | 11:13 |
| ParkerR | I was gonna say XD | 11:14 |
| systemclient | ArtVanda1ae: I tried to enable it, but it did not exist. I then reinstalled it, apitutde had to uninstall the mpm-worker to get the current version. It now woirks,. Thanks! | 11:14 |
| Acidpunk | It won't be possible to install gnome 2 in 11.10, well it will be but it's going to break a lot of stuff | 11:14 |
| systemclient | ParkerR: KDE now :-) | 11:14 |
| systemclient | Acidpunk: I guess they migrate a lot to GTK3, therefore you will have fun with GTK2 | 11:14 |
| Acidpunk | Yeah systemclient everything is going GTk3 | 11:14 |
| UncleLaz | unity in 11.10 will use gtk3? | 11:14 |
| === rudy_ is now known as Guest26620 | ||
| Acidpunk | UncleLaz: from what I've read yeah they are migrating to gtk3 | 11:15 |
| ParkerR | theadmin, But I doubt I will get this look in xfce http://parkerlreed.imgur.com/ubuntu | 11:16 |
| sudokill | ParkerR- what look? | 11:18 |
| Robson | ParkerR what is the best solution to run steam on nix? | 11:18 |
| sudokill | the bars at the top? | 11:18 |
| Robson | wine? | 11:18 |
| sudokill | xfce can look identical to that | 11:18 |
| systemclient | Robson: virtualbox will work to some extend I guess | 11:18 |
| ParkerR | sudokill, I just mean I like the way it looks overall. Colors styles | 11:18 |
| systemclient | sudokill: so can KDE, irc | 11:18 |
| ParkerR | Robson, wine | 11:18 |
| sudokill | ParkerR- xubuntu does look good imo | 11:18 |
| sudokill | systemclient- yea | 11:19 |
| sudokill | systemclient- i think ParkerR might be worried because xfce is lighter | 11:19 |
| Robson | nice does anyone know if there is a solution for Wine+SC2 ? | 11:19 |
| sudokill | thinking its gona be ugly | 11:19 |
| Acidpunk | XFCE doesn't have to look ugly | 11:20 |
| Acidpunk | Nor does LMDE | 11:20 |
| sudokill | the default xuubntu is really nice actually | 11:20 |
| ParkerR | sudokill, No I just mean getting this look and theme and styles in xfce will be tough | 11:20 |
| sudokill | with the grey theme | 11:20 |
| ParkerR | Robson, SC2? | 11:20 |
| Robson | blizzard, starcraft2 | 11:20 |
| theadmin | ParkerR: Should be easy enough to do | 11:21 |
| Acidpunk | Robson: Why don't you check on http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 instead of asking | 11:21 |
| UncleLaz | as far as i remember, customizing xfce is easy | 11:21 |
| Robson | Acidpunk well... asking works. you answered my question, thanks :D | 11:22 |
| Acidpunk | Robson: Google in future though | 11:22 |
| Acidpunk | it's not hard | 11:22 |
| JakeR003 | what's a light weight browser for ubuntu | 11:22 |
| JakeR003 | very very small memory footprint | 11:22 |
| sudokill | JakeR003- what a cli one? | 11:22 |
| Benkinooby | JakeR003, chromium or midori | 11:22 |
| gry | JakeR003: elinks or links2 | 11:22 |
| theadmin | JakeR003: Midori | 11:22 |
| JakeR003 | ok i will try few of them | 11:23 |
| JakeR003 | thanks guys.. | 11:23 |
| sudokill | JakeR003- chromium works ok on my downstairs comp with 512 ram | 11:23 |
| UncleLaz | opera is pretty fast | 11:23 |
| Robson | Acidpunk :x | 11:23 |
| JakeR003 | ok then chromiu | 11:23 |
| systemclient | sudokill: sure, KDE is a ressource hog, no doubt about that | 11:23 |
| theadmin | Yah Opera's great too | 11:23 |
| theadmin | That's what I run | 11:23 |
| sudokill | i find opera too complicated | 11:24 |
| sudokill | too many settings everywhere | 11:24 |
| rekho | hello | 11:24 |
| theadmin | sudokill: You do not need all of them. | 11:24 |
| sudokill | i know | 11:24 |
| Lasrod | Hello, I pressed Ctrl+Shift+F5 (I think) by misstake and this got me into terminal window... how do I get back to ubuntu ui? | 11:24 |
| Benkinooby | JakeR003, opera, chromium, midori ... all of them are pretty minimal and have to most basic functions | 11:24 |
| gry | rekho: Hi! | 11:24 |
| theadmin | Lasrod: Ctrl+Alt+F7 | 11:24 |
| JakeR003 | thank you Benkinooby | 11:24 |
| theadmin | Lasrod: And you pressed Ctrl+Alt+F5. | 11:24 |
| Lasrod | theadmin: ahhh... thank you! :) | 11:24 |
| theadmin | Benkinooby: Opera has much more than basic functions xD | 11:24 |
| sudokill | this is gona turn into another browser war | 11:25 |
| sudokill | :p | 11:25 |
| gry | They all are ok | 11:25 |
| theadmin | Just don't say anyone here uses IE xD | 11:25 |
| theadmin | If so, yes, it'll be a war | 11:25 |
| gry | Cli ones are easier on ram I would assume | 11:25 |
| theadmin | Otherwise... meh I'm fine | 11:25 |
| Acidpunk | I know people that use IE9 happily | 11:25 |
| gry | ... | 11:26 |
| sudokill | imo cli browsers are only good if your stuck in a console and desperately need the net | 11:26 |

| UncleLaz | arguing about browser is like arguing about sexual orientation, leave it | 11:26 |
| Acidpunk | I know I tend to avoid the issue | 11:27 |
| Acidpunk | people use what works for them | 11:27 |
| sudokill | UncleLaz- ? whats the relevance there | 11:27 |
| sudokill | lol | 11:27 |
| theadmin | And let's not start arguing about sexual orientation, now. | 11:27 |
| Benkinooby | gry, cli ones are hardly usable... even the site structure is messed up | 11:27 |
| Acidpunk | At least it's not a distro war | 11:27 |
| systemclient | theadmin: Opera is like KDE in this matter | 11:27 |
| gry | sudokill: they're both personal taste | 11:27 |
| gry | Benkinooby: ^ | 11:27 |
| theadmin | systemclient: Well, it starts up and works faster than FF though | 11:27 |
| sudokill | but not as fast as chromium | 11:27 |
| systemclient | this is very neat for the Gnome vs. KDE: http://raw-output.org/20051215/remote-controls | 11:27 |
| sudokill | haha | 11:27 |
| systemclient | chromium is the killer, but I fear the killer in non-privacy also :-/ | 11:28 |
| Acidpunk | Chromium is good and bad, I use it and I can tell you it's not perfect either | 11:28 |
| Acidpunk | Some things in firefox are better and vice versa same applies to Ie9 and opera | 11:28 |
| sudokill | Acidpunk- whats bad? | 11:28 |
| gry | Lasrod: did it work? | 11:28 |
| theadmin | Well whatever, stop the browser discussion please, we're offtopic. | 11:28 |
| Acidpunk | Meh | 11:29 |
| Acidpunk | sudokill: There are always bugs in chromium | 11:29 |
| ParkerR | Acidpunk, I enjoy Chrome very much. Havent had any issues with it | 11:29 |
| Acidpunk | ParkerR: Chrome != chromium | 11:29 |
| sudokill | Acidpunk- actually there arent | 11:29 |
| gry | okay enjoy please | 11:29 |
| gry | move on, move on | 11:29 |
| ParkerR | I know | 11:29 |

| JakeR003 | what about privacy in chromium? | 11:30 |

| obyrith | when i start up my computer i have no issues with my usb keyboard, neither do i in windows. However, when I switch to linux, sometimes it doesn't seem like it works at all, i can't type in my password or even change my capslock light. Every time I can fix this by changing the USB port of the keyboard, it doesn't seem to matter which one, as long as it isn't the one it started in. What could possibly be causing this? | 11:30 |
| theadmin | sudokill: So not almost every. | 11:30 |
| Acidpunk | You said there aren't bugs in chromium sudokill | 11:30 |
| sudokill | Acidpunk- so... how can you say chromium having bugs as a minus point? | 11:30 |
| gry | Guest43031: can you ask in one line please, and include all details? | 11:30 |
| sudokill | when every prog does | 11:31 |
| Acidpunk | because the bugs in chromium aren't the same as say bugs in firefox | 11:31 |
| sudokill | lol | 11:31 |
| Acidpunk | So both have pluses and vice versa | 11:31 |
| theadmin | Stop this, please, this is horribly offtopic by now. | 11:31 |
| Robson | Why is the 32-bit Unbuntu recommended for desktop, and 64-bit for server, any specific reason? | 11:31 |
| Acidpunk | Alright | 11:31 |
| Guest43031 | Sitecom dualband usb adapter 300N x5 on ubuntu 11.04 64 bits (acer aspire 7750g) | 11:31 |
| sudokill | Robson- because 32 wrks with everything | 11:31 |
| theadmin | Robson: 32-bit - better support for weird software, 64-bit gives more RAM | 11:32 |
| sudokill | Robson- in case someone installs the wrong one | 11:32 |
| jrib | Robson: if your hardware supports 64bit, use 64bit | 11:32 |

| jrib | miktor: how are you starting X? | 11:33 |
| miktor | Well, actually the problem might lie in that i don't start x but dwm, but dwm doesn't work without x... anyway i made a login profile that looks like... (link in a sec) | 11:34 |
| jrib | miktor: you have to start x at some point | 11:34 |

| theadmin | chalcedony: Ah, it's "pulseaudio -D" | 11:39 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: not -d but -D | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | ah theadmin :) | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | theadmin, ~$ pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio -D | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | E: main.c: Daemon startup failed. | 11:39 |
| chalcedony | llhull@llhull:~$ | 11:39 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Odd :/ | 11:40 |
| miktor | well, i get the same background as in gnome. And then nothing happens. I think all the applications start up as if it were in gnome though? Which is strange, it's not supposed to be like that i can tell | 11:40 |
| jrib | !who | miktor | 11:40 |
| ubottu | miktor: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 11:40 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Try just doing "pulseaudio &disown" now | 11:40 |
| miktor | ah right | 11:40 |
| pobara | Is anyone running 11.04 able to answer to my question? pretty please :) | 11:40 |
| jrib | miktor: can you pastebin your ~/.xsession? | 11:40 |
| jrib | miktor: what ubuntu version by the way? | 11:40 |
| miktor | jrib sure | 11:40 |
| miktor | 11.04 jrb | 11:40 |
| Ovomaltine | could anyone answer my question please ? | 11:41 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Speaking of, please use a pastebin service like http://pzt.me to post your command output. | 11:41 |
| Ovomaltine | theadmin: is it possible to have support for mouse using eterm ? | 11:42 |
| chalcedony | theadmin, http://pastebin.com/TdWyjB9n | 11:42 |
| theadmin | Ovomaltine: I wouldn't know. | 11:42 |
| miktor | jrib, i actually don't have any ".xsession" i have ".xsession-errors", but it's insignificant, just font errors. or maybe you mean the .Xsession file in /etc/x11/ ? | 11:42 |
| Ovomaltine | who knows ? | 11:42 |
| jrib | miktor: create a ~/.xsession that you want the "user script" option to run | 11:43 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Okay, it's running so... I dunno. If it still doesn't work, try starting alsamixer and make sure stuff isn't muted | 11:43 |
| jrib | miktor: ~/.Xsession probably works too | 11:43 |
| miktor | jrib, in the home folder? | 11:43 |
| jrib | miktor: yes | 11:43 |
| miktor | jrib, is it then supposed to work like xinitrc? | 11:44 |
| jrib | miktor: yes | 11:44 |
| chalcedony | theadmin, thanks :) | 11:44 |
| chalcedony | still no music on youtubes | 11:44 |
| tripelb | HOW do you end htop? I had to close the terminal window. | 11:44 |
| miktor | jrib, after I've done this, what should I do then? | 11:44 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Hey, it's no problem, always glad to help | 11:44 |
| theadmin | chalcedony: Youtube... might as well be a flash issue | 11:44 |
| jrib | miktor: go to gdm and have it use your custom user session (wording may be different) | 11:45 |
| chalcedony | i have the drum sounds | 11:45 |
| chalcedony | hmm | 11:45 |
| chalcedony | possibly | 11:45 |
| tripelb | something is eating my computer.. since the update? I use the Lucid LTS. every time I do anything it takes up all of memory for a time. | 11:45 |
| === DIrtyDawg is now known as DirtyDawg | ||
| * stilia-johny Hi. Does any know how can setup mu ubuntu as a network os?? | 11:45 | |
| jrib | miktor: reading the session scripts, it looks like it should say "User Defined Session" | 11:45 |
| DirtyDawg | . | 11:45 |
| theadmin | stilia-johny: lolwut? | 11:45 |
| chalcedony | tripelb, what do you see in top when that happens? | 11:45 |

| histo | stilia-johny: did you check the document? | 11:49 |
| fatih93 | eyvallah ;) | 11:49 |
| javier__ | ParkerR: I already hav WPA security. I suspect this because I try to download something from Megaupload and says my IP already getting something | 11:49 |
| stilia-johny | Yes.. Nothing for network os! | 11:49 |
| histo | stilia-johny: is the remote machine running linux? | 11:49 |
| tripelb | stilia-johny, you mean you want to shrink your partition? | 11:49 |
| ParkerR | javier__, well then change the password | 11:50 |
| chalcedony | tripelb for me it was..gnome-system-mo | 11:50 |
| javier__ | ok | 11:50 |
| ParkerR | If you think someone else is using it | 11:50 |
| stilia-johny | Yes the remote machine run ubuntu | 11:50 |
| ParkerR | Change it then restart the router | 11:50 |
| chalcedony | i haven't seen gnome-system-mo before but it sure is using ram at times | 11:50 |
| histo | stilia-johny: and you want to install ubuntu on it? | 11:50 |
| ParkerR | javier__, | 11:50 |
| javier__ | anyway, I would like to investigate if someone is really using my wifi | 11:50 |
| tripelb | chalcedony I have no idea what that is. | 11:50 |
| stowoda | hi | 11:50 |
| histo | javier__: you can look at who is assigned ips on most router pages | 11:51 |
| tripelb | javier__, there's an ap for that | 11:51 |
| stilia-johny | No I wanna use a program to load ubuntu in local machine.. No vnc | 11:51 |
| ParkerR | Hello stowoda | 11:51 |

| stephenthemartyr | how do you replace one side ofg a partition?is it possible? | 11:52 |
| stowoda | gry, should be possible or? | 11:52 |

| jrib | stowoda: d is the delete command | 11:52 |
| tomi | hello | 11:52 |

| tomi | ola penis | 11:53 |
| tripelb | stilia-johny, you have to ask all on one line. It's hard to chase thru the talk and find out what you really are asking and what your os and situation are. | 11:53 |

| stephenthemartyr | how do i change half of a partition? | 11:58 |
| stowoda | I geuess this: sed '10,56d' filename.txt, does what I want to | 11:58 |

| javier__ | I don't remember, but I cannot access it. I can't get the page | 11:59 |

| stephenthemartyr | theadmin: can i get that in synaptic? | 11:59 |
| theadmin | stephenthemartyr: Yes. | 11:59 |
| histo | javier__: perhaps the ip is not 192.168.1.1 | 12:00 |
| salamcik | theadmin: do you know how i can change the close window shortcut from ctrl+w to super+w?? | 12:00 |
| theadmin | ARGH. Why does everyone ask *me* random questions? | 12:00 |

| salamcik | :< | 12:01 |
| salamcik | ur always here and always online thats why | 12:01 |
| theadmin | salamcik: Ah, not exactly true | 12:01 |
| jrib | theadmin: hmm, why could that be... | 12:01 |

| AlexDevilLX | i cant cat /var/log/messages | 12:02 |
| histo | javier__: are you runnign linux rightnow? | 12:02 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: why not? | 12:02 |
| AlexDevilLX | dont know | 12:03 |
| fatih93 | İf so, where can i find basic for linux ? | 12:03 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: what happens when you try...? | 12:03 |
| AlexDevilLX | simply wont worek | 12:03 |
| AlexDevilLX | cat: /var/log/messages: Нет такого файла или каталога | 12:03 |
| AlexDevilLX | no such file or directory | 12:03 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: try again with LANG=C at the beginning | 12:03 |
| histo | javier__: if so type ifconfig in a terminal and it will show what IP is assigned to your current machine. | 12:03 |
| javier__ | histo: yes | 12:03 |
| AlexDevilLX | what | 12:03 |
| histo | javier__: should be 192..... or 10..... | 12:03 |
| Trashi | hi guys. if i plug in a device into my usb hub, i get the syslog message: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port X ... the devie isnt working ... does anybody know what to do? (ubuntu version = 11.04) | 12:03 |
| === cypha` is now known as cypha | ||
| AlexDevilLX | what device? what hub | 12:04 |
| AlexDevilLX | try another port | 12:04 |
| hareldvd | volume control on the panel is gone. Any idea? | 12:04 |
| AlexDevilLX | remove | 12:05 |
| AlexDevilLX | heh | 12:05 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: you can't cat a file that doesn't exist, yes | 12:05 |
| AlexDevilLX | yes | 12:05 |
| AlexDevilLX | but why it doesnt exist? | 12:05 |
| phoque | wow, 11.04 messed up some of my keyboard special characters | 12:05 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: syslog probably isn't setup to log there? | 12:05 |
| Halabund | When I run from battery, ubuntu dims the screen after a short time of inactivity. When moving the mouse, it brightens the screen again, BUT NOT TO THE ORIGINAL LEVEL. How can I get it to restore the original brightness? | 12:05 |

| javier__ | histo: in wlan0??? there it's said 192.168.2.7, but can't enter there neither | 12:06 |
| magikid | AlexDevilLX: seems to be a common problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1728570 | 12:06 |

| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: really ? | 12:06 |
| AlexDevilLX | heh | 12:06 |
| AlexDevilLX | what | 12:07 |
| theadmin | AlexDevilLX: Never. Linux isn't dead. | 12:07 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: syslog is just configured to not log to messages anymore. Seems like things end up in /var/log/syslog anyway and they wanted to avoid duplication | 12:07 |
| AlexDevilLX | i'm blaming myself | 12:07 |
| theadmin | AlexDevilLX: It keeps developing, so you can never master it. | 12:07 |

| sam_ | hi..m unable to use my webcam. i m new to ubuntu. help appreciated | 12:08 |
| Halabund | urlin2u: my point is that I have to do that after every time ubuntu dims the screen. It does not restore the brightness I set using those keys, even though it clearly notices that I'm setting the brightness (it shows a popup with the brightness levels) | 12:08 |
| ikonia | !webcam | sam_ | 12:08 |

| javier__ | histo: in windows, how to do something like that ifconfig? | 12:08 |
| AlexDevilLX | runlevel=5 is logging isn't it? | 12:09 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: no, that's an init level | 12:09 |
| jrib | AlexDevilLX: what do you want to accomplish? | 12:09 |
| AlexDevilLX | to make my eth0 to write log about internet dissconnection | 12:09 |
| AlexDevilLX | i know that debug=5 | 12:09 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: what are you on about debug=5 | 12:10 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: if your eth0 card dropping from the network, or is your internet dropping at the router/modem ? | 12:10 |
| sam_ | ubottu ikonia i have installed cheese , but unable to use my webcam of Toshiba laptop | 12:10 |
| ubottu | sam_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:10 |
| AlexDevilLX | options 3c59x debug=5This line specifies 5 as the value of the debug parameter in the 3c59xmodule. | 12:10 |
| AlexDevilLX | modem | 12:10 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: then your card won't see it drop | 12:11 |
| AlexDevilLX | no internet > log | 12:11 |
| AlexDevilLX | heh | 12:11 |
| AlexDevilLX | great | 12:11 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: it's not a problem with your card to debug, you'll need to do that at your modem, or write a shell script to ping a host | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 12:11 |
| AlexDevilLX | so what thing can i log? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: you'll be able to do it via a shell script - ping a host (or something that simple) and when it stops responding log that the internet has dropped | 12:12 |
| AlexDevilLX | ok | 12:12 |
| AlexDevilLX | thx anyway | 12:12 |
| sam_ | Hi, I m having problem with WEBCAM (In Built Toshiba Laptop). I tried Testing it thru the application CHEESE..I get the message NO DEVICE FOUND. ANy help apprecaited | 12:12 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: your ISP will also be able to tell you when your connection goes down | 12:12 |
| AlexDevilLX | what camera | 12:12 |
| ikonia | sam_: did you read the debugging on that webpage ubottu sent you | 12:12 |
| AlexDevilLX | My ISP is bad one | 12:13 |
| javier__ | histo: i enter the router and there I saw "active DHCP clients": only my two computers IP there. So, guess no one is in here. Do you know why then "megaupload" detects my ip as downloading something? | 12:13 |
| sam_ | ikonia i m novice to Ubuntu, I already went thru that page earlier and installed Cheese, but tat dont seems to solve the problem :( | 12:13 |
| pobara | I will ask again: on Ubuntu 11.04 with Unity running, what is written by: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.session session-name | 12:13 |
| histo | javier__: are the two ips that are there your MAC addresses? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | sam_: installing cheese doesn't "fix" anything it will just allow you to use your camera if you configure it | 12:14 |
| ChessTeach | Is there any good quick start launcher applications that behave like a terminal, I want to run a command with a directory as parameters and use tab to autocomplete. Anything out there that does this? | 12:14 |
| sam_ | ikonia what shud b done in tat case | 12:14 |
| xbox | oh is this a support channel ops i guess no1 know how to install adope flash for firefox on a xbox 360 | 12:14 |
| javier__ | histo: im not sure what is MAC address, but the two IP there are mine and my father's laptop | 12:14 |
| AlexDevilLX | one more question | 12:14 |
| histo | ChessTeach: alt+f2 the run dialog has autocompletion | 12:15 |
| ikonia | sam_: please try to talk in clear english - text speak makes it hard to follow | 12:15 |

| AlexDevilLX | if i install new webcam do i need to modprobe | 12:16 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: no | 12:16 |
| sam_ | ikonia first i need to check actually if everything is fine with my webcam and secondly if there are issues with the driver | 12:16 |
| AlexDevilLX | why | 12:16 |
| histo | AlexDevilLX: no udev should handle it | 12:16 |
| AlexDevilLX | how | 12:16 |
| javier__ | histo: ok. It's just a website from where you download things, with a limit if you are not premium user (as me). Thanks then! | 12:16 |
| AlexDevilLX | so what handles it? | 12:17 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: udev - as you've just been told | 12:17 |
| urlin2u | Halabund, I see a bug report on this regarding the 2.6.38 kernels, and setting to low, but a lot of other hits with problem s= well. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/773415 | 12:17 |

| AlexDevilLX | ikonia: histo wrote, that NO udev should hanle it | 12:18 |
| honey_ | how can i get converter taht means form any player to any player? | 12:18 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: no, you don't need to modpobe, udev will handle it (that's what was meant) | 12:18 |
| bazhang | honey_, try handbrake | 12:18 |
| histo | AlexDevilLX: yes... I was answering your question about mod probing. Then telling you that udev would handle it. | 12:18 |
| gry | honey_: ffmpeg ? | 12:18 |
| dean_ | Hey all is anyone familiar with Lubuntu in here? | 12:18 |
| AlexDevilLX | ah | 12:18 |
| jrib | dean_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 12:18 |
| gry | dean_: #lubuntu ? | 12:18 |
| bazhang | dean_, somewhat, whats the issue | 12:18 |
| AlexDevilLX | udev like udev notify | 12:18 |
| miktor | jrib http://pastebin.com/622bcNUF | 12:19 |
| histo | AlexDevilLX: no, udev like udev | 12:19 |
| dean_ | bazhang, I just wondered if there is a way to get wallpapers the default one is boring to say the least | 12:19 |
| AlexDevilLX | and modprobe handles pci | 12:19 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: no | 12:19 |
| honey_ | whcich one is better handbrake or ffmpeg? | 12:19 |
| xbox | guess no one here can help me with installing adope flash on my xbox 360 ubuntu 10.10 | 12:19 |
| dean_ | gry, I tried Lubuntu no one talking in there | 12:19 |
| AlexDevilLX | udev handles pci? | 12:19 |
| miktor | jrib, it doesn't matter where i put the exec, it only takes the first command no matter what i do | 12:19 |
| jrib | miktor: well, your script executes dwm and then waits for dwm to exit before proceeding, do you see the issue? | 12:19 |
| JakeR003 | is there a way to run a two instances of a program on ubuntu with two different network settings? | 12:19 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: do you actually have an ubuntu question ? rather than generic linux how to ? | 12:19 |

| miktor | jrib, how do i make it go right onto the next one? | 12:20 |
| histo | ChessTeach: ahh no idea that's why I always have a terminal open. | 12:20 |
| AlexDevilLX | ok | 12:20 |
| jrib | miktor: you probably want to do something like xrdb ~/.Xdefaults; nm-applet &; exec dwm (personally I don't use exec and then put things after dwm that I want to happen when I quit/log out | 12:20 |
| AlexDevilLX | if i put XFS, do i need to modprobe? | 12:20 |
| histo | AlexDevilLX: no | 12:20 |
| AlexDevilLX | why | 12:21 |
| Halabund | urlin2u: I found the solution. There was an option to lower the brightness when running from battery. Apparently the meaning of this is: disregard the user's brightness setting when running from battery. Windows simply remembered my last setting separately for battery / ac-power mode. | 12:21 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: because it's part of the kernel | 12:21 |
| miktor | jrib, alright i will try that | 12:21 |
| AlexDevilLX | is it module? | 12:21 |
| ikonia | nopf: | 12:22 |
| ikonia | no | 12:22 |
| urlin2u | Halabund, I wondered about that since that is where the bar is. | 12:22 |
| ikonia | AlexDevilLX: can we please get to ubuntu support rather than generic linux questions | 12:22 |
| AlexDevilLX | ok | 12:23 |

| hiatus | it say so in the damn title. official ubuntu suppot channel and your answer is go to linux questions and use google. you are the worst support channel ever | 12:48 |
| dr_willis | netflix uses silverlight and its DRM. moonlight on linux dosent have the DRM feature. Ive heard netflix is working on a HTML5 version that will work on Linux/Google CHrome. | 12:49 |

| coz_ | chub_, did you ask in the #gentoo channel ....yes? | 13:04 |
| Kingsy | oh ok, so you use linux to do the RAIDin ? | 13:04 |
| Pici | norbert79: no... Thats the admin group. | 13:04 |
| theadmin | norbert79: No, that's not "shadow". That's "admin", or more commonly "wheel" | 13:04 |
| norbert79 | Oh, right | 13:04 |
| norbert79 | mixed up them | 13:04 |
| BlackArchDog | chub, sorry they dont get the idea we use more then one distro | 13:05 |
| chub_ | norbert79: aah ok.... so what is really happening there is that the user that executes virtualbox is actually doing so as user root? | 13:05 |
| compdoc | Kingsy, yes. Windows has the same thing | 13:05 |
| Pici | chub_: no. norbert79 was incorrect. | 13:05 |
| sudokill | chub_- what are you trying to do? | 13:06 |
| chub_ | Pici: ok so what does this group have access to? | 13:06 |

| TheFuzzball | I have an Apple Keyboard and pressing Alt+3 doesn't give me the hash character. How do I get the hash character in Ubuntu? | 13:07 |

| Halabund | what CJK fonts do you folks prefer on Ubuntu? The default (whatever that is) is a bit blurry for my eyes, after getting used to antialiased Vista fonts. Note that I'm just learning the language, so I'm more sensitive to this than natives who are used to the shapes already | 13:08 |
| Pici | chub_: /etc/shadow for one. | 13:08 |
| urlin2u | canurabus, synaptic will list dependencies. | 13:08 |
| BlackArchDog | canurabus: learn apt-get its easier | 13:09 |
| norbert79 | Halabund: I use the ones normally which I also use in Windows. Ubuntu can handle Truetype fonts too | 13:09 |
| coz_ | canurabus, out of curiosity,, when you open a terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f | 13:09 |
| compdoc | TheFuzzball, wouldnt that be shift-3 ? | 13:09 |
| sudokill | Halabund- try using full hinting in the font settngs | 13:09 |
| sudokill | its not as blurry | 13:09 |
| Halabund | norbert79, you mean you use YaHei / Meiryo on Ubuntu? | 13:09 |
| marduk666 | having an issue with mounting a drive that's part of a raid 1 array, mdadm --assemble --scan gives me: mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0 | 13:10 |
| chub_ | Pici: did you read that article I posted? because I would like to know if there is an alternative (e.g. /etc/pam.d/textfile or ...) | 13:10 |
| chub_ | Pici: if you can suggest I look at something else | 13:10 |
| norbert79 | Halabund: You can also tune the font rendering too... I am not familiar with none of those fonttypes, but if they are in OTF or TTF format, yes, why not | 13:10 |
| TheFuzzball | compdoc It's a British keyboard, Shift-3 gives me the pound symbol. | 13:10 |
| compdoc | ahh | 13:10 |
| theadmin | "pound"? Do you mean the octothorp? | 13:10 |
| theadmin | The #? | 13:11 |
| Halabund | norbert79, I mean, in my experience, Ubuntu renders fonts differently from Windows, so copying the Windows fonts over might very well give much worse results than using those that come with Ubuntu, and they'll usually look different on Ubuntu | 13:11 |
| marduk666 | £ that | 13:11 |
| edbian | hahaha | 13:11 |
| auronandace | theadmin: £ | 13:11 |
| theadmin | auronandace: What? | 13:11 |
| canurabus | coz_: here's the output: http://pastebin.com/TztSgRa5 | 13:11 |
| auronandace | theadmin: thats the pound symbol | 13:11 |
| norbert79 | Halabund: Did you try to to tune on the rendering going into the /Settings/Apperance menu? | 13:11 |
| TheFuzzball | theadmin The pound symbol (GBP) is £ | 13:11 |
| IdleOne | theadmin: the currency symbol | 13:12 |
| theadmin | TheFuzzball: Ah | 13:12 |
| theadmin | IdleOne: Okay I get it | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | british pound symbol | 13:12 |
| coz_ | canurabus, ok try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 13:12 |
| IdleOne | only took 4 tries. | 13:12 |
| TheFuzzball | theadmin I understand the confusion, because a lot of people call the hash (she, octothorpe, crunch, etc) pound too. | 13:12 |
| canurabus | coz_: what does that do? I don't want to upgrade my distro | 13:13 |
| theadmin | TheFuzzball: I see :D | 13:13 |
| compdoc | # = hash | 13:13 |
| Tiven | hey guys, anyone know if its possible to tunnel internet through SSH on ubuntu ? | 13:13 |
| coz_ | canurabus, that will not upgrade to a new version but it will upgrade the system you are on including upgrading software , library versions | 13:13 |
| ArtVanda1ae | Tiven, TCP protocols, yes (e.g. HTTP) | 13:13 |
| dr_willis | Tiven, you can set up SSH tunnels to tunnel most everything yes. | 13:14 |
| urlin2u | canurabus, to fetch the key sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys AED4B06F473041FA | 13:14 |

| Tiven | i mean, i have server on ubuntu but my laptop has putty to connect to it remotely | 13:14 |
| ArtVanda1ae | Tiven, yes, Putty has an option for creating tunnels | 13:14 |
| canurabus | cheers | 13:14 |
| Tiven | i tried it but i must have done something wrong cause it didnt work | 13:15 |
| ArtVanda1ae | Tiven, what are you trying to tunnel? | 13:15 |
| Tiven | im supposed to set it on a port to forward on my machine right? nothing ubuntu side | 13:15 |
| Tiven | http would be nice ArtVanda1ae | 13:15 |
| ArtVanda1ae | Tiven, correct, nothing Ubuntu side | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | Tiven, it pays spend an hr just reading up on ssh.. it can be a bit picky . but a port forward is differnt then a tunnel.. | 13:15 |
| rabbi1 | Friends, I was just searching for a tool which keeps track of my internet usage ..... and alerts once crosses the specified databand.... :) any solution | 13:15 |
| dr_willis | Tiven, my router port forwards the ssh port to the correct pc.. i can then tunnel to the pc. | 13:15 |

| marduk666 | ActionParsnip: hello almighty wise hehe, would u happen to know how to mount a disk part of a hardware RAID? | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk666: not used fake raid dude, sorry | 13:33 |
| marduk666 | ActionParsnip: can i mount hw raid with fake raid? | 13:33 |
| BlackArchDog | t0ken: yes, help we don't except pay this is friendly ... linux is not windows... | 13:35 |
| nicofs | I'm looking for a program to organize and sort my music library, so that I have all songs in one folder, as "Song Name.extension". I have a lot of devices that get confused by folders... bulk ID3-Tag editing would be good aswell... | 13:35 |
| BlackArchDog | t0ken: ask your question | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk666: you can only use hardware raid if you have a dedicated raid controller card rather than the garbage they put in home grade motherboards | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs: easytag is a great MP3 tagger | 13:37 |
| marduk666 | it's a disk from an HP server ActionParsnip | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | marduk666: then you may be able to tell mount to force mount it but it may cause issues | 13:38 |
| marduk666 | for hw raid mounting, do i need the actual hw raid card? ActionParsnip | 13:38 |
| nicofs | ActionParsnip, actually, id3-tags are the minor problem... i don't want to shift and rename all files manually... | 13:38 |
| BlackArchDog | nicofs: doesn't windows manager already put them in alphabetical order??? | 13:38 |
| marduk666 | ActionParsnip: ok, now it's found as 0.0kb of /dev/sdb | 13:38 |
| marduk666 | no partitions | 13:38 |
| nicofs | BlackArchDog, windows...? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | nicofs: music apps usually use the tag, so if you arrange them well it will just work | 13:38 |

| ActionParsnip | nicofs: does it not look at the tag and put the artist tracks together? | 13:40 |
| [THC]AcidRain | nicofs, you can make a script to move them all | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sulav: sure, use putty if you want SSH | 13:40 |
| ParkerR | ActionParsnip, !! :D I finally got the problem fixed yesterday | 13:40 |
| sulav | ActionParsnip, even in linux we have putty>? | 13:40 |
| [THC]AcidRain | isnt putty linux native? :/ | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | ParkerR: you can use import from image magic in a simple script | 13:41 |
| ParkerR | ActionParsnip, have more details? | 13:41 |
| sulav | [THC]AcidRain, i saw it even in windows7 | 13:41 |
| somsip | sulav: you can use putty under Linux, but I find it's not required with a decent/.ssh/config | 13:41 |
| nicofs | ActionParsnip, it does - that is the problem... they will be put in their respective folders after that - and that is what i don't want... | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | sulav: sure but you can SSH from terminal using: ssh -X -C username@servername | 13:41 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sulav, thats where you messed up in life. looking at a win7 screen | 13:41 |

| auronandace | !gnome3 | Hedgehog456 | 13:43 |
| ubottu | Hedgehog456: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 13:43 |
| EgyParadox | sulav: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 13:43 |
| bretton | For example vlc when I read a video | 13:43 |
| Hedgehog456 | Since I don't use Unity, probably ok. | 13:43 |
| auronandace | Hedgehog456: 11.10 will support gnome 3 though | 13:43 |
| Hedgehog456 | Thanks bazhang, auronandace | 13:43 |

| rabbi1 | BlackArchDog: you there? wonder how to start conky .... | 13:47 |
| Halabund | ActionParsnip, alright, that is pretty clear there: "For users unaware, the default Ubuntu desktop in Ubuntu 11.04 does not allow for the addition of traditional GNOME applets on the panel. Most of the features provided by these applets are now catered for elsewhere in Unity or can be acquired by installing extra indicator applets." I did not know this. | 13:47 |
| EgyParadox | sulav: what default password? | 13:47 |
| bretton | I gotta display problem. When I put a software fullscreen, it becomes all white. For example vlc when I read a video. | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Halabund: me neither, I use LXDE so sidestep all that stuff | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: Which desktop do you use? | 13:48 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: gnome | 13:48 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: with compiz? | 13:48 |
| sulav | EgyParadox, pswd for openssl | 13:48 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: compiz fusion I think | 13:49 |
| bretton | so yes | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: same thing, if you use natty, log of and log in to the 'Ubuntu Classic' session. If you use Lucid or Maverick press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: this will take compiz out of the equation, is it still the same? | 13:50 |
| rabbi1 | my ibus doesn't start at startup ... any clue why? i have added in startup applications | 13:50 |
| EgyParadox | sulav:try logging with your own password and username | 13:50 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: but I won't have desktop effects with ubuntu classic ? | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: no but it's simply to test. It's not forever. It's called "Isolating the issue" | 13:51 |
| EgyParadox | bretten: There is Ubuntu Classic (no effects option) | 13:51 |
| EgyParadox | bretten: There is Ubuntu Classic (no effects) option | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: if its ok without effects then we KNOW what is causing the issue, don't we | 13:52 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: ok I test if I have this problem | 13:52 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: so the problem if the test works come from my video card driver ? | 13:53 |
| bretton | comes* | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: no it's compiz, not the video driver | 13:54 |
| bretton | oh | 13:54 |

| BlackArchDog | hello | 13:57 |
| javier__ | someone knows how can I change my public IP (if so is posible)? | 13:57 |
| escott | javier__, pay your isp | 13:57 |
| Gentoo64 | javier__- like a proxy? | 13:58 |
| javier__ | escott: what you mean? why pay? :P | 13:58 |
| BlackArchDog | me and [THC]AcidRaind started #cool_ubuntu were we dont boot you for change of topic come on over if you need real help... | 13:58 |
| compdoc | javier__, you dont pay for a static ipm address? | 13:58 |
| compdoc | ip | 13:58 |
| Majestik | javier__, that is likely to be controlled by your router, you could reboot it and see if it gets a new IP but its probably leased to the MAC address of your router anyway so you'll get the same one from the BRAS of your ISP | 13:58 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: that was it :) | 13:58 |
| Ramses | morning | 13:58 |
| Majestik | short answer - no point lol | 13:58 |
| escott | javier__, they control your ip. you have to talk to them | 13:58 |
| Gentoo64 | use tor | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: so now you know the root cause | 13:59 |
| * ActionParsnip thinks compiz causes too many issues | 13:59 | |
| * auronandace concur | 13:59 | |
| archman | is there a way to disable joins/parts/quits messages in empathy? | 14:00 |
| javier__ | Majestik, escott: I guess that's it. I rebooted, but get the same ip all the time. The problem is that it looks like I share that ip with other people, and some internet services detect us as the same person, and I cannot use those services (like megaupload, web storage of files) | 14:00 |
| theadmin | archman: I dunno about empathy, but on irssi I'd do: /ignore * JOIN PART QUIT | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bretton: so you can direct 100% of your effort finding out what the deal is with compiz as you KNOW that is the thing causing the issue | 14:00 |
| BlackArchDog | Imagine a IRC chat line were you could tell jokes, have fun and be cool to talk #cool_ubuntu is the place and get help | 14:00 |
| bretton | ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm on #compiz. I hope someone'll answer. | 14:00 |
| Gentoo64 | javier__- you could use an anonymous proxy but most disable java etc to use them services anyway | 14:00 |
| archman | theadmin: yeah, i know about the irssi way, i'm gonna try it here... | 14:01 |
| archman | theadmin: unknown command | 14:01 |

| escott | klingelbart, depends. most binaries in /usb/bin but its not like windows there is no program files/program name directory | 14:16 |

| designbybeck | has anyone tried this for Ubuntu 11.04? http://helmuthdu.deviantart.com/art/CONKY-Colors-244793180 Looks pretty sweet! | 14:17 |
| EgyParadox | klingeblart: You can check synaptic , it shows where files are installed for every package | 14:17 |
| diamonds | where's a good place for a file to share across users? | 14:17 |
| genii-around | klingelbart: If you look up a package on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and go to the file list, it shows you the directories it puts all the files of that package into | 14:17 |
| ArtVanda1ae | diamonds, /tmp :) | 14:18 |
| dr_willis | theres rarey a need to go to where a program is installed to. :) | 14:18 |
| ArtVanda1ae | diamonds, note: you'll lose everything in /tmp when you restart the machine | 14:18 |
| minimec | klingelbart: base files and libs are stored in /usr/lib/yoursoftware. Shared stuff would be in /usr/share/yoursoftware; docs in /usr/share/doc/yoursoftware; systemwide configuration in /etc/yoursoftware; binary (launcher) in /usr/bin/ | 14:18 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: you could also create a generic "share" user and store it in their home directory in a folder, then give permissions to that folder to the other users | 14:18 |
| diamonds | ArtVanda1ae: yeah that doesn't seem like the best place... | 14:19 |
| diamonds | I'm trying /home/me/public | 14:19 |
| diamonds | s/public/Public/ | 14:19 |
| escott | diamonds, generally you put the users into the same group and then chgrp the file to that group. most $HOME is at least readable to others so I can create a file in my $HOME and share it to others by chgrp to their group | 14:19 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: that would work just gotta make sure you set the permissions correctly | 14:19 |
| Gentoo64 | diamonds- or use a different drive / partition? | 14:20 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: dropbox is perfect for that | 14:20 |
| diamonds | heh... | 14:21 |
| yoshi_ | yh | 14:21 |
| diamonds | I'm surprised there isn't some built in functionality for this | 14:21 |
| JakeR003 | when i restart ubuntu how to boot into GRUB menu? | 14:21 |
| diamonds | "/home/shared" or something | 14:21 |
| yoshi_ | Any 1 know why i can't turn on advenced vizualation desktop? | 14:22 |
| Gentoo64 | JakeR003- i think hold shift | 14:22 |
| escott | diamonds, /home/shared presumes that there is only one group of users who need to share things | 14:22 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: i think that is what the user's Public Folder is for | 14:22 |
| mattgyver | JakeR003, hold down the shift key while rebooting I believe | 14:22 |
| diamonds | thunsucker: yeah but other users can't list it | 14:22 |
| diamonds | I'm checking the permissions now... | 14:22 |
| escott | thunsucker, diamonds public folder is for network sharing | 14:22 |
| mattgyver | JakeR003, sorry didnt see Gentoo64's response | 14:22 |
| diamonds | escott: ahhh... | 14:23 |
| yoshi_ | any 1 know? | 14:23 |
| diamonds | escott: 755 Public/ | 14:23 |
| compdoc | yoshi_, what is that? | 14:23 |
| diamonds | why can't I get a listing from another user? | 14:23 |
| escott | diamonds, thats the same set of permissions for every other folder in $HOME. there is some special logic to enable samba sharing of ~/Public | 14:24 |
| escott | diamonds, ls /home/joe | 14:24 |
| diamonds | why is permission for ls denied if I have x privs on the directory? | 14:24 |
| diamonds | is the whole home directory just "special" protected? | 14:25 |
| jrib | diamonds: because you need to be able to read | 14:25 |
| diamonds | jrib: I have that as well | 14:25 |
| diamonds | 755 | 14:25 |
| escott | diamonds, by default you have the ability to browse joe's folder and see his filenames. you can even read his files, but you can't modify them or add files to his folder | 14:25 |
| diamonds | escott: not here... | 14:25 |
| jrib | diamonds: pastebin your terminal session and « ls -ld /path/to/directory/in/question » | 14:25 |
| Lacabra | hi penguins | 14:26 |
| Lacabra | I'm having a lot of problems configuring a LG screen | 14:27 |
| Mediii | Hi there | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Lacabra: what video chip does your video card use? | 14:27 |
| Lacabra | anyone can redirect to any tutorial that can halpme | 14:27 |
| Mediii | how can I get info about cpu and dusk usage ? | 14:27 |
| Lacabra | I'm looking for it | 14:27 |
| Mediii | is there any command for that ? I m working with a repote server | 14:27 |
| Mediii | remote* | 14:28 |
| usr13 | Mediii: top | 14:28 |
| Lacabra | I use a small toshiba netbook with a external 21,5" display | 14:28 |
| usr13 | Mediii: and df | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Mediii: df -h | 14:28 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: here is a simple solution. create a group called 'family', add your users to that group, make a directory /home/family, change owner of that directory to family:root, add a shortcut to each user's desktop with the path | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Lacabra: again, what is the video chip? | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Mediii: top will show you CPU usage | 14:28 |
| Lacabra | <ActionParsnip> I'm looking for it | 14:28 |
| thunsucker | diamonds: oops actually change owner to diamonds:family | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Lacabra: lspci | grep -i vga | 14:29 |
| thunsucker | that way you own it, and they have access | 14:29 |
| minimec | Lacabra: open a terminal and give us the result of 'lspci | grep VGA' | 14:29 |
| Mediii | thanks usr13 ActionParsnip | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Mediii: or: sudo apt-get install sysstat; sudo mpstat | 14:29 |
| escott | diamonds, ls requires read permissions. it is possible to cd into a directory but not have read permissions. | 14:29 |
| Lacabra | <ActionParsnip> Now I'm nos using linux, I'm back to windows beacause of the screen, but I'm trying to get back to linux again beacause windows is so extremely slow | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Lacabra: either OS will tell you the chip | 14:30 |
| escott | diamonds you could use that to "hide" a folder inside another folder. revoke read on the directory, and only those who know the other folder inside it exists will be able to cd into the inner folder | 14:30 |

| jrib | diamonds: well there you go | 14:32 |
| diamonds | OK so you can't list a dir with 777 you don't have read perms on the parent? | 14:33 |
| Lacabra | <ActionParsnip> here it is Mobile Intel® GMA 950 | 14:33 |
| jrib | diamonds: if you don't have executable permissions on all parent directories, yes... | 14:33 |
| diamonds | x or r? | 14:33 |

| JakeR003 | usr13 if i use switch user it ask for a password to unlock screen - ctrl + alt + Fx is not working at all | 14:38 |
| escott | diamonds, do you have encrypted home? maybe thats why your permissions are different | 14:39 |
| minimec | Lacabra: the GMA950 is supported for a long time, even though there have been regressions due to changes in the xserver architecture. What exactly do you want to do? A dual screen setup? In that case, it could be, that your settings do reach the maximal resolution capacity of the card. Maybe take a lower resolution on the laptop and try to activate the external screen. | 14:39 |
| diamonds | escott: I did tick that box, yes | 14:39 |
| === mobius is now known as Guest69916 | ||
| diamonds | escott: ty that's probably it! | 14:39 |

| canurabus | hi I was told to run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to fix broken packages on my system. One of the packages it tried to isntall (some perl lib) went into an infinite loop and I had to kill the process. Now if I try to run apt or synaptic, it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a first. I do that... and it tries to install the stupid package that caused the infinite loop in the first place putting me back to square one. Can someone help? | 14:41 |
| jrib | canurabus: pastebin what happens exactly with this infinite loop | 14:42 |
| usr13 | canurabus: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is not for fixing broken packages. sudo apt-get -f install may be what you are looking for. | 14:42 |
| canurabus | I can take a screen shot, it's an infinite loop... too fast to copy/past anything. | 14:42 |
| usr13 | canurabus: If you did sudo apt-get dist-upgrade you need to be patient, it will take a LONG time. | 14:43 |
| jrib | canurabus: well you can kill it and pastebin what's left on your screen (from the start) | 14:43 |
| Younder | user13: ? | 14:43 |
| Guest69916 | can someone refer me to instructions on how to restore the grub bootloader to my system? I had always used a rescatux live cd to accomplish this but after loading a non-linux OS ontop of my linux instance, my bootloader is gone. | 14:43 |
| hwilde | !fixgrub | Guest69916 | 14:44 |
| ubottu | Guest69916: 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) | 14:44 |
| Synthead | anyone have experience with an ubuntu kickstart here? | 14:44 |
| usr13 | !dist-upgrade | canurabus | 14:44 |
| ubottu | canurabus: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 14:44 |
| t0ken | so fyi, when doing big long upgrade things like that. you can grab all the output by piping things to 'tee' like "sudo apt-get blah | tee logfile.txt" | 14:44 |
| Younder | Guest69916, If you have installed it on top of you linux that is the least of your problems. | 14:44 |
| patrickindia | I need help with bluetooth dialup fellows,my phone does not has a DUN profile | 14:44 |
| usr13 | Hummm... seems they've changed the function of dist-upgrade I am mistaken... I think... | 14:44 |
| canurabus | okay so there's a ton of information being given out here. I'm *not* trying to upgrade my distro. I can't install anything on it because packages are broken. I was told, *in this channel* that running the dist-upgrade cmd with apt would fix my dependencies, and specifically not upgrade my distro version. | 14:45 |
| canurabus | here's a screenshot of the loop: http://imgur.com/AFJaD | 14:45 |
| bazhang | usr13, dist-upgrade does not upgrade versions | 14:46 |
| Synthead | user --disabled seems to be ignored in my kickstart. | 14:46 |
| usr13 | bazhang: It used to... | 14:46 |
| bazhang | usr13, nope | 14:46 |
| mgolisch | sure it does.. | 14:46 |
| dr_willis | distt-upgrade is a more intenvive uggrade | 14:46 |
| patrickindia | #leave | 14:46 |
| Pici | usr13: Only if you modified your sources.list as well. | 14:46 |
| mgolisch | if you changed your sources | 14:46 |
| Younder | Guest69916, In order to install a widows OS after linux you have to establish a first partion sda1 exclusively for windows. For windows 7 you will need a sdb1 as well if you have a second disk. This must be done with the partion tool BEFORE installing it. | 14:46 |
| dr_willis | not sure abiut dust-upgrade fixing a briken ststem | 14:46 |
| klingelbart | what is the terminal command to open a folder? | 14:47 |
| Younder | Guest69916, Now you have little choice but a reinstall | 14:47 |
| escott | diamonds, you cannot safely enable any other users to read your home folder with the encrypted home enabled. you will have to create a folder to share outside of $HOME | 14:47 |

| dr_willis | !webmin | 14:49 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 14:49 |
| fmauro | om26er: click on it, and go to preferences, then uncheck the "Show bluetooth icon" box | 14:49 |
| iuri | Pici, nope. it only ggets stuck on 0% | 14:49 |

| usr13 | I think I found the answer: (Someone correct me if I am wrong.) If the line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades says "Prompt=lts" do-release-upgrade will only look for LTS. If the line says "Prompt=lts" it will just go to next release. ...Right? | 15:36 |

| ubottu | Zungo: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu. A PPA for natty is available at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 but these packages are EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE, will break Unity and possibly other parts of your system, and cannot be downgraded safely. | 16:14 |

| shinsuke | thunsucker, are you sure you can use cairo dock for blinking notification icons in the gnome panel like pidgin? | 16:17 |
| ParkerR | Pici, I know that | 16:17 |
| Younder | But uses gnome underneath | 16:18 |
| shinsuke | hi. how can i add blinking notification icons to the gnome panel like pidgin does when received a msg? thanks | 16:18 |
| thunsucker | shinsuke: cairo is a dock, it operates differently than the gnome panel. you can customize it to do many things, like spin icons and etc. | 16:18 |
| glebihan | shinkamui, what do you want to do exactly ? | 16:18 |
| Zungo | shinsuke: maybe you want pigdin integrate into the system notifications.... | 16:19 |
| thunsucker | shinsuke: pidgin is programmed to do that, other applications may not have that ability. with a dock, you can customize the way the icons work | 16:19 |
| canurabus | does anyone have any suggestions at all? I only have the default repos enabled -- and now I have broken packages after a botched update. What am I supposed to do? | 16:19 |

| canurabus | Zungo: I did. I tried issuing the original update command again as well. | 16:22 |

| w30 | Zungo, opps, my bad.. | 16:25 |
| Zungo | :P | 16:25 |
| canurabus | w30: yes I tried Synaptic. It can ID the broken packages but won't let me repair them. I get some error... | 16:25 |
| glebihan | shinsuke, one (not simple) solution would be to use DBus to connect the script with some application running under the desktop environment to show the notification icons... but it would be a lot of work for such a purpose | 16:25 |
| thunsucker | mokti: if it's in the list then it's been tested and shown to work | 16:25 |
| Zungo | pastebin the error log canurabus | 16:25 |
| mokti | thunsucker: okay, thanks. It was listed under another model of computer though, should it still work okay? | 16:26 |
| shinsuke | glebihan, ok. i was getting into dbus anyway so it is a good practice. thanks | 16:26 |
| dataworm | anyway to install Ubuntu on new Macbook Air that run Lion without using a cdrom? | 16:26 |
| thunsucker | mokti: probably, you can also boot a live cd and see how that operates first, if it doesn't work, simply reboot and take the cd out | 16:26 |
| canurabus | Zungo: http://pastebin.com/zGDEhdhS | 16:27 |
| glebihan | shinsuke, then if you choose to go that way, the class used to display the status icons is the "StatusIcon" of gtk libraries | 16:27 |

| pinoyoragon | Need help here, happened after i installed bumblebee's optirun program: Weird thing, I can't boot properly to my 11.04 without pressing esc during boot. If i don't press ESC, it enters graphics mode then stalls showing only the mouse pointer but without the login box. | 17:01 |
| insmod | distroia: that's gnome thing unmaximize the window then it will work | 17:01 |
| thunsucker | dell: sudo find / | grep dhclient.conf | 17:01 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: That's what I found, when I looked up your laptop, on Google, and the Acer website. | 17:01 |
| shinsuke | is anachron a better version of cron or does it has disadvantages? | 17:01 |
| canurabus | thunsucker: yeah, but it gave me a dependency error (not the same one I get now). So I asked here, and someone suggested to run dist-upgrade (just like in the website you sent me). That didn't work though -- one of the packages that was being installed during the upgrade went into an infinite loop and that broke many things (I'm guessing), which leads me to where I am now :/ | 17:01 |
| llutz | shinsuke: anacron is handy if your computer doesn't run 24/7 | 17:02 |
| w30 | dell, if you google for google's public dns they will show how to install their dns numbers for all; Mac Windows, Linux | 17:02 |
| RobinJ | how can i speed up my laptop's fans so it doesn't get so hot? Ubuntu controls them automatically but it doesn't seem to set them high enough... When running a VM it gets up to 90°C and all guides for fancontrol i can find on google are outdated.... | 17:02 |
| thunsucker | canurabus: for eacy dependency error, do the same. sudo apt-get install -f install dependency-package | 17:02 |
| javier__ | keyboard laptop not working in grub2. Someone knows how to fix that? | 17:02 |
| dr_willis | javier__, check the bios settings see if theres a legacy usb option you can enable | 17:02 |
| shinsuke | llutz, i know. cron cant. so is there even a point in learning cron? | 17:02 |
| RobinJ | javier__: doesn't enter work either? on my father's laptop things like "e" and "ctrl+x" aren't working, but just the arrow keys and enter do work fine | 17:03 |
| javier__ | dr_willis:but why usb? | 17:03 |
| dr_willis | because.. :) its a setting ivce had to enabvle to get usb keyboardsd working in grub .... | 17:03 |
| javier__ | RobinJ: not even enter or arrow keys working | 17:03 |
| theadmin | dr_willis: It's not a USB keyboard for him tho | 17:03 |
| llutz | shinsuke: install anacron and define your cronjobs as usual. anacron will take care of them then | 17:03 |
| RobinJ | javier__: thats crap xd | 17:03 |
| insmod | canurabus: apt-get -f install | 17:03 |
| llutz | shinsuke: anacron isn't a cron-replacement | 17:04 |
| propman | canurabus: might want to look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/606652 | 17:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 606652 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [Undecided,Confirmed] | 17:04 |
| dell | w30:that was helpful | 17:04 |
| dr_willis | theadmin, hard to tell on a laptop.. other then that setting.. good luck i guess.. | 17:04 |
| JakeR003 | someone is flooding the channel! and he is called floodbot | 17:04 |
| shinsuke | llutz, thanks. you saved me hours. have a nice day | 17:04 |
| MichaelDeaton | I have a question. D: To install the new official release of JDK7, do I download the .rpm or the .bin? | 17:04 |
| javier__ | i thought changing grub2 to grub legacy, but couldn't make it... | 17:04 |
| RobinJ | javier__: not an unknown bug either: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/771376 | 17:04 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 771376 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "keyboard not working at grub screen" [Undecided,New] | 17:05 |
| theadmin | MichaelDeaton: The .bin, .rpms are dangerous on Ubuntu | 17:05 |
| MichaelDeaton | Ohh okay. may I ask why they're dangerous? | 17:05 |
| theadmin | MichaelDeaton: Because they're not for Debian-based systems. | 17:05 |
| canurabus | insmod: tried that... many times =p | 17:05 |
| MichaelDeaton | Ohhh. So just download the .bin? Then open it with software center? | 17:06 |
| canurabus | propman: that bug is unrelated to my current issue | 17:06 |
| javier__ | RobinJ: I think that bug you mention is with USB keyboard | 17:06 |
| dr_willis | MichaelDeaton, you run the bin.. you may want toread their install docs.. | 17:06 |
| thunsucker | MichaelDeaton: try to find a package for debian/ubuntu as a.deb | 17:06 |
| MichaelDeaton | There's not one... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jre-7-download-432155.html | 17:06 |
| MichaelDeaton | Which one on that page do I get? | 17:07 |
| dr_willis | MichaelDeaton, there may be a PPA for it. | 17:07 |
| MichaelDeaton | I need to update to JRE7 for some games I play. | 17:07 |
| RobinJ | yours isnt a USB one? | 17:07 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: Did you say something http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-125948.htmlabout alsamixer? | 17:07 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-125948.html | 17:07 |
| RobinJ | make sure it isn't plugged in to the mouse port. it will work in ubuntu but not with grub. the keyboard port is usually the purple one | 17:07 |
| dataworm | ww | 17:08 |
| thunsucker | MichaelDeaton: http://www.shinephp.com/install-jdk-7-on-ubuntu/ | 17:08 |
| MichaelDeaton | I need JRE not JDK | 17:08 |
| change | hello | 17:08 |
| javier__ | RobinJ: no, it's the laptop's keyboard | 17:08 |
| dr_willis | jdk will run stuff also i belve.. just a bigger package | 17:08 |
| RobinJ | oh right xd | 17:08 |
| MichaelDeaton | Yeah.. I can't spare the bandwith. | 17:08 |
| Shadowwolf | Um, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 to my computer because I deleted a partition which apparently had the GRUB 2 bootloader (with linux Mint on it, which was why I deleted it in the first place) or something.. so now my computer doesn't boot. But I'm not sure if I should put the Ubuntu on a new partition from free space and if so, how big the partition should be. :S | 17:08 |
| MichaelDeaton | It'll take an hour to get JDK. | 17:08 |
| MichaelDeaton | Only 9 minutes for JRE. | 17:09 |
| RobinJ | good luck javier__ :p http://www.google.be/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=keyboard+not+working+grub2 | 17:09 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: Try following this: http://computerandu.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/how-to-solve-no-sound-through-laptop-integrated-speakers-in-ubuntu-11-04/ | 17:09 |
| insmod | canurabus: did you clean the cache - because i would cd /var/cache/apt/archives and use dpkg --force-help | 17:09 |
| dr_willis | so you dont get to play some game for an hr...... | 17:09 |
| insmod | canurabus: dpkg --force | 17:09 |
| change | I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and my Window 7 primary partition was corrupted. :(( | 17:09 |
| thunsucker | MichaelDeaton: http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/install/linux/linux-jre.html#install-32 | 17:10 |
| MichaelDeaton | You have to use your windows 7 DVD to repair your windows 7 partition. | 17:10 |
| delinquentme | anyone here use bamboo tablets ? are the fairly easy to install on ubuntu and do they run fairly well? | 17:10 |
| MichaelDeaton | I had to fix mine as well. | 17:10 |
| w30 | Shadowwolf, I beleive the live cd can boot your ubuntu from thr hard drive; If you can then you can install grub back to the mbr. | 17:11 |
| canurabus | insmod: how can I clean the cache? | 17:11 |
| Shadowwolf | w30 I'm not sure how to do that. :( | 17:11 |
| insmod | canurabus: you don't want to if you want to fix it | 17:12 |
| Shadowwolf | And I'm not quite sure what you mean. | 17:12 |
| w30 | Shadowwolf, see if the live cd boot menu gives you that option? | 17:12 |
| canurabus | insmod: I'm a little confused... I went to the folder you noted. What am I supposed to do there? And what should I use dpkg for? | 17:13 |
| Shadowwolf | w30, exactly what option am I searching for? | 17:13 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: I would just tell the Ubuntu installer to use the available free space. | 17:14 |
| MichaelDeaton | Does anyone know of any good user scripts packs that are helpful? | 17:14 |
| insmod | canurabus: with that you can force them to install -- that will mabe fix it -- or use it to downgrade packages | 17:14 |
| MichaelDeaton | I have a few like, "Open terminal in directory" etc. | 17:14 |
| dr_willis | there is a neat little Ubuntu variant-live cd that comes with 'boot-repair' tool Hope its the default in the next release ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10084551&postcount=1 | 17:14 |
| w30 | Shadowwolf, boot ubuntu from a hard drive option | 17:14 |
| Jordan_U | w30: I think you misunderstand Shadowwolf's situation, he's not trying to recover an old install. He wants to do a fresh install. | 17:14 |
| Nekken | Sorry... needed to reboot | 17:14 |
| Shadowwolf | Oh yeah. | 17:14 |
| Shadowwolf | You see, I never had ubuntu on my disk, although I did have linux MINT. | 17:15 |
| Jordan_U | w30: And as he deleted the (Mint) partition, there is nothing currently there to boot. | 17:15 |
| Shadowwolf | And I deleted that partition without realizing GRUB 2 was on it. | 17:15 |
| Shadowwolf | My friend told me installing Ubuntu should fix the problem.. although Im' not sure how yet. Haha. | 17:15 |
| Double_Rainbow | hello there | 17:15 |
| Double_Rainbow | i am running ubuntu 11.04 from cd rom | 17:15 |
| Nekken | "aplay -l" replied : "no sound card found" | 17:16 |
| w30 | Jordan_U, ok, I missed his thought on that sorry Shadowwolf | 17:16 |
| dr_willis | Shadowwolf, there was an original problem? | 17:16 |
| Double_Rainbow | how do i format my hard drive with Fat 32? | 17:16 |
| stuffed-crust | how can i get my 5.1 surround sound card give me the options to run 4 channels or even 5, although i only need 4 for what i want | 17:16 |
| Nekken | That's why I don't have sound ... how can I declare it ? | 17:16 |
| llutz | Double_Rainbow: sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdXY | 17:16 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: Follow the second link I sent you. | 17:16 |
| Double_Rainbow | llutz: is there a gui alternative? | 17:16 |
| Shadowwolf | dr_willis, what are you referring to? | 17:16 |
| fosterdv | Nekkon: See if this works, http://computerandu.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/how-to-solve-no-sound-through-laptop-integrated-speakers-in-ubuntu-11-04/ | 17:16 |
| Shadowwolf | The problem of it not booting? | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | Shadowwolf, you said installing ubuntu woulkd fix somthing.., | 17:17 |
| llutz | Double_Rainbow: maybe, never needed one | 17:17 |
| Jordan_U | Double_Rainbow: Yes, GParted. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | Yes. The problem of not booting. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | When I start it, I get error: no such partition | 17:17 |
| Nekken | I did, but the link just say "i have a problem", not the solution... :-( | 17:17 |
| dr_willis | Shadowwolf, reinstalling ubuntu to fix ubuntu not booting? | 17:17 |
| insmod | stuffed-crust:alsamixer or pavucontrol | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | No. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | Nothing boots. | 17:17 |
| stuffed-crust | insmod: thank you, ill check them out | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | I've never had it on. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | Er. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | I've never had ubuntu. | 17:17 |
| Shadowwolf | But I've always had a LiveCD lying around. | 17:17 |
| Double_Rainbow | cool thanks | 17:18 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: Do you have another OS which hasn't been deleted, like Windows, which you would like to be able to boot? | 17:18 |
| Shadowwolf | Yes. | 17:18 |
| Shadowwolf | Windows 7. | 17:18 |
| Shadowwolf | But I don't know how to allow it to boot. | 17:18 |
| dr_willis | Shadowwolf, you might get lucky and try the live cd is aw that has a fixboot tool -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10084551&postcount=1 in theory it should fix ubuntu, that will let you boot the other os;s | 17:18 |
| Shadowwolf | I don't have ubuntu. | 17:18 |
| Shadowwolf | :/ | 17:18 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: That can be fixed without installing Ubuntu (though installing Ubuntu will also fix it). | 17:18 |
| willwh | hi guys - any suggestions for monitoring websites? (I've been using zenoss - but the check_http plugin produces a lot of false positives) | 17:19 |
| rawfodog | How do I access my ubuntu cloud from windows ? I downloaded ubuntu One beta for win7. It installs. But I see no feature to access the files I uploaded from ubuntu ? I got a bunch of files from work on there that I need to pull from the cloud | 17:19 |
| Shadowwolf | Jordan_U, well, how else can i fix it considering I don't have the windows 7 CD? | 17:19 |
| jorgeeer | jajajajaja | 17:19 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: You can restore a Microsoft style MBR using an Ubuntu LiveCD. | 17:19 |
| Shadowwolf | How? | 17:19 |
| K-Rich | hey all | 17:20 |

| Bfh | Hello Wondering if anyone can tell me how to change my screen brightness, also if some1 can tell me how to change the power mode (like in windows7 -- power saver / normal / high performance ) | 17:20 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda | 17:20 |
| stuffed-crust | insmod: will following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure get me there ? | 17:21 |
| fosterdv | Nekken: I missed the last think you said, you tried to follow their steps in that second link, and it said what? | 17:21 |
| Shadowwolf | Jordan_U, alright. So, I just do those in Terminal, and then restart? | 17:21 |
| Nekken | ... pff .... | 17:21 |
| fosterdv | That's what it said? | 17:21 |
| pinoyoragon | My 11.04 stalls and shows only the mouse pointer and default background everytime i boot and not pressing ESC. But if I press ESC during boot, i can login and have a "normal" experience. y is that? anyone? | 17:22 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: Keeping in mind that the device, "/dev/sda" was only a guess (should be your first hard drive, but you should check) and that whatever device you choose it should *NOT* have a number after it, so "/dev/sdb" might be right but *NOT* "/dev/sdb1". | 17:22 |
| insmod | stuffed-crust:no | 17:23 |
| Shadowwolf | Ok. Thanks, Jordan_U. lemme give it a wack. | 17:23 |
| stuffed-crust | insmod: phew! | 17:23 |
| willwh | Bfh: System > Preferences > Power Management | 17:23 |

| Shadowwolf | The sudo apt-get update | 17:23 |
| JohnM_ | hi there, quick question, how can i install a program (using apt-get) to a specific directory? | 17:23 |
| willwh | JohnM_: why would you want to do that? | 17:24 |
| Shadowwolf | Apparently it couldn't resolve 'archive.ubuntu.com'. | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | JohnM_, not sure thats doable. | 17:24 |
| tsimpson | JohnM_: quick answer, you can't | 17:24 |
| hagus | How do I add to the list of repositories? I want to install python's pyramid framework. | 17:24 |
| perlsyntax | anyone use playinlinux before? | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | JohnM_, you can extract the .dev somewhere.. | 17:24 |
| dr_willis | .deb is an arhive you can open/extract | 17:24 |
| JohnM_ | ah ok, what about through dpkg? | 17:24 |
| perlsyntax | My question is it don't copy it ask for onre cd? | 17:24 |
| JohnM_ | i tried the --instdir option but im getting a couple of errors from what i assume are dependecies | 17:24 |
| perlsyntax | odd | 17:25 |
| Shadowwolf | Jordan_U, same thing happened with mbr. | 17:25 |

| JohnM_ | that shows the errors im getting | 17:25 |
| Troy^ | ty | 17:26 |
| dr_willis | Troy^, remove the entry to that ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or sources.list | 17:26 |
| Captainkrtek | Troy^: it's either /etc/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list i dont recall | 17:26 |
| Troy^ | it doesnt seem to be in there | 17:27 |
| Jordan_U | Shadowwolf: You need to be connnected to the internet. | 17:27 |
| coraxx | so anybody know of a GUI admin tool for Spamassassin ? (preferably a non-webbased) | 17:27 |
| Shadowwolf | Oh.... duh... | 17:27 |
| Shadowwolf | :| | 17:27 |
| JohnM_ | ignore that | 17:27 |
| Shadowwolf | Jordan_U, yeah, sorry. | 17:27 |

| thrillERboy | is there a root account? if I installed Ubuntu Via wubi? | 17:28 |
| JohnM_ | im an idiot, tried to isntall a lucid deb on maverick | 17:28 |
| Jordan_U | !root | thrillERboy | 17:28 |
| ubottu | thrillERboy: 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 | 17:28 |
| Troy^ | dr_willis, Captainkrtek: it doesnt seem to be in there | 17:28 |

| TYDIRocks | Yes | 17:31 |
| fosterdv | Bye all, have a great day. | 17:31 |
| Kyle__ | tonysan: You want "gzip -d -c" btw, but reading through man gzip will definately help alot :) | 17:32 |
| coraxx | TYDIRocks: which are ? | 17:32 |
| TYDIRocks | One second, let me see what it says | 17:32 |
| TYDIRocks | I believe it is an error with BusyBox | 17:32 |
| TYDIRocks | Do you want a screen shot? | 17:32 |
| Kyle__ | TYDIRocks: What type of VM? I've installed it in several systems, and well, it just goes usually.... | 17:32 |
| stuffed-crust | how can i find out where wget downloads files too ? | 17:32 |
| Kyle__ | stuffed-crust: Your current working directory. | 17:33 |
| TYDIRocks | What do you mean which type of VM? I'm using ViMWare Workstation | 17:33 |
| AlphaMail | lol | 17:33 |
| TYDIRocks | VMWare* | 17:33 |
| Kyle__ | stuffed-crust: If you used a -r, by default it will make a directory named for the server you got it from, in your current working directory. | 17:33 |
| tonysan | Kyle__: I tried -d -c but it says gzip: /var/log/mysql/mysql-slow.log.7.gz: No such file or directory | 17:33 |
| stuffed-crust | Kyle__ : cool thx :) | 17:33 |
| AlphaMail | vim ~/.wgetrc | 17:33 |
| AlphaMail | man wget | 17:33 |
| coraxx | TYDIRocks: I use VirtualBox myself ...so if's not an issue withing the virtual machine...but the outer environment, then I'm not sure how much help I will be...but let me see the screenshot....maybe we'll get lucky ;-) | 17:34 |
| Kyle__ | TYDIRocks: Yup, that's what I meant. Humm... VMWare presents a very streightforward modern machine... | 17:34 |
| TYDIRocks | Alrighty | 17:34 |
| coraxx | TYDIRocks: (And remember to type who you are chatting with) | 17:34 |
| TYDIRocks | coraxx: okay | 17:34 |
| Kyle__ | tonysan: Make sure it that logfile didn't rotate out of there already :) ls it. | 17:34 |
| Kyle__ | tonysan: If you really need to analyze a particular logfile, make sure it's not at risk of being rotated out! | 17:35 |
| tonysan | Kyle__: thanks...it disappeared mysteriously | 17:35 |
| TYDIRocks | coraxx: Here is the image link: http://k.min.us/ijwNE8.png | 17:35 |
| tonysan | but I have plenty of logs to analyse | 17:35 |
| Pici | tonysan: gunzip usually does an in-place decompress. | 17:37 |

| Kyle__ | TYDIRocks: did you md5sum your iso? | 17:38 |
| coraxx | TYDIRocks: which .iso file did you use ...and where did you download it from ? | 17:38 |
| TYDIRocks | coraxx: I downloaded it from the ubuntu website | 17:38 |

| AlphaMail | ahh, yea, use cryptsetup | 17:42 |
| coraxx | TYDIRocks: When you download from Ubuntu.com it usally find a "mirror-site" for the download...based on you geographic location...I will recommend that you either redownload from the offcial server or as Kyle suggested, test the existing one with the MD5 checksum | 17:42 |
| Monotoko | seems like the simplest way to me...correct me if I'm wrong | 17:42 |

| theadmin | boris123: If you need that, you can make it do so by modifying fstab appropriately. Not sure if it defaults to that. | 17:46 |
| boris123 | wondering if i need to disable forced disk check on natty.... | 17:46 |
| Kyle__ | TYDIRocks: If you really want to be nuts, you could could write your own little md5sum binary using the included .net compiler in windows...but seriously, who wants to write in .net? | 17:46 |

| TYDIRocks | Kyle__: I code some in .net xD | 17:47 |
| Ramses | I can create this simple md5 utiity to you for any OS | 17:47 |
| Kyle__ | ...but since md5 digests are included, it's actually a trivial program to write.... | 17:47 |

| Kyle__ | zen_: You're using ubuntu on an intel-macintosh? | 17:49 |
| zen_ | I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and I've had to reinstall it twice because it uninstalls grub-efi and I can't figure out how to recover it | 17:49 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: if you download or test allot of ISO's or even jsut a few, you may want to try the ubuntu-qa tools, it downloads and MD5's them as well, all done automatically: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man1/dl-ubuntu-test-iso.1.html. | 17:49 |
| zen_ | After it uninstalls grub-efi I get a grub error and it throws me into the recovery mode | 17:49 |
| zen_ | Kyle__ no, it's a Lenovo Thinkpad x121e | 17:50 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha: okay, thanks for the tip | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | TYDIRocks: if you haven't used md5sum before, it seems odd, but many unix programs are like this: if you run it with an argument, it opens the file, without an argument, it's a filter you need to pipe things into. | 17:50 |
| Kyle__ | zen_: OK that's just wierd. grub-efi is generally only for EFI based machines.... intel-macintoshes and esoteric workstations. | 17:50 |
| TYDIRocks | Kyle__:I got the md5sum, where can I find the one on the website? I can't find it. | 17:51 |
| ke1ha | I use it every night to sync something like 20 to 25 ISO's, and get a report each morning, once ya setup the things ya want, it's very easy and fast to use. | 17:51 |

| Jordan_U | zen_: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get upgrade" before grub-efi is removed? | 17:53 |

| Rehan | hi guys, i have a question. I currently have a Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my USB drive and I use it from there (it has persistence). I now want to use YUMI on the same flash drive so that I can have a choice between my ubuntu install and some other ISOs (win7, winxp, etc). Is there a way I can move my current Ubuntu install off of the USB, make it into an ISO and install back on to the USB with YUMI's installer? Thank you for con | 18:27 |
| Rehan | sidering my question. | 18:27 |

| theadmin | kaellan: Other than that, it's a question directed to #winehq | 18:30 |
| dr_willis | Rehan, copy your persistant save file somewhere.. and if yumi can set up to boot the iso file WITH persistance. in theory you could replace the persistance file it makes with the one you are using now. | 18:30 |
| kaellan | theadmin: how to disable Compis? | 18:30 |
| ke1ha | dr_willis: on the blog page, they reference the upstart.ubuntu.com page a fair bit. | 18:30 |

| OerHeks | Biohazardsteven, i checked it too now, sorry for wrong info :( | 18:33 |
| Rehan | dr_willis: actually i don't know if i have a persistence save file...I think I actually had my ubuntu install on a regular hard drive first and then I used dd to copy it over to my USB, so its not really an ubuntu install on a USB as much as it is a hard drive version moved over. | 18:33 |
| ke1ha | dr_willis: that's a good page, I espeically like the comment toward the bottom: "man 5 init" is yrou friend :-) | 18:34 |
| Biohazardsteven | Oerheks, Is there any other siluttions? | 18:34 |
| dr_willis | Rehan, Dont know how you would convert that to a persistant save.. other then doing a total remaster.. I rarely use persistant setups except for trivial ussage. | 18:34 |
| Rehan | dr_willis: is it possible to shrink my ubuntu partition, create a new FAT32 one on the usb and then put YUMI on that and somehow give myself the option to boot to my ubuntu install through that also? | 18:36 |
| dr_willis | Rehan, if your pendrive is using grub2. ytou can set up grub2 to boot iso files.. but that may take some work.. | 18:36 |
| Rehan | yeah its using grub2 | 18:36 |
| dr_willis | Rehan, its prob. possible to do what you mentioned.. but may be a bigger hassle then just getting a new pendrive. :) | 18:37 |

| mbertens | hi everybody, i have a question; i just upgraded to 11.04 and i got an unwelcome surprise; a new desktop, which got me a little frustrated. Could it be possible in the future to let the user select if he wants the new desktop, instead of forcing it on him?. This is one of the reasons that i switched to Linux in the first place. But at least in Linux you can get it get to the classic interface which i used to. Don't understand my wrong I love Ubuntu, th | 18:41 |
| Pici | !classic | mbertens | 18:42 |
| ubottu | mbertens: 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". | 18:42 |

| TYDIRocks | NixNinja_, the only thing I see I can edit dioing with networks is the type of connection. I've been using NAT, should I change what I'm using? | 19:03 |

| thunsucker | pr0ton: it would probably work over 56k, why do you ask | 19:06 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: NixNinja_if NAT isn't working, that's an issue, but you could try bridged. Additinoally, DHCP is best in VBOX if you cna get it too work. | 19:07 |

| thunsucker | Rehan: after you resize the partition, install win7 in the available space, when you boot it will only go to win7. once that works you will have to repair/reinstall grub2 so be able to boot to both, or something similiar to grub2 | 19:19 |
| kv102t | rehan: idea! | 19:19 |
| ke1ha | NixNinja__: He's got a nameserver problem. | 19:19 |

| NixNinja__ | yeah dns server needs to be setup | 19:20 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: this is all on a USB flash drive and I don't want to install Win7. I just want the ISO on there and have the ability to boot from the ISO or Ubuntu | 19:20 |

| kv102t | rehan: do you know of clonezilla? | 19:20 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: when you boot from a win7 iso it will start the "windows installer" it won't be a live cd like ubuntu | 19:20 |
| NixNinja__ | dns server for ehto | 19:21 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, I'm going to try what Nixninja wants me to do first | 19:21 |
| bjpenn | NixNinja__, i actually did apt-get install sendmail, but theres no such package, it says sendmail : Depends: sendmail-bin but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages | 19:21 |
| abstrakt | my samba no work with security :( | 19:21 |
| abstrakt | these docs are kind of out dated it seems | 19:21 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: yea, I don't want a live cd. just want the ability to install from it | 19:21 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, if it is a legit W7 ISO it is not a live environment but a install media, it also does not matter what order installed in. | 19:21 |
| ke1ha | Ok, well that IP addy, is google.com .. so you cna test both ways, IP and Resolved Name aka - google.com | 19:21 |
| NixNinja__ | TYDIRocks, never mind its not there I forgot | 19:21 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, maybe I'm blind, but I don't see anything about a DNS. | 19:21 |
| Guest77520 | i'm on a win7 boot in a ubuntu virtual box. anyway to speed it up? | 19:21 |
| Rehan | kv102t: i can figure out clonezinlla. i have used 'dd' before too | 19:21 |
| abstrakt | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileprint-security.html | 19:22 |
| === Guest77520 is now known as bweazy | ||
| abstrakt | can anyone help me just get a basic username/password logon working? | 19:22 |
| NixNinja__ | TYDIRocks, do this sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 19:22 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: as far as I know, you can't have a single usb stick that can boot and have the option to install win7 or ubuntu | 19:22 |
| NixNinja__ | then try pinging google.com again | 19:22 |
| bweazy | abstrakt, have you seen codeigniter? | 19:22 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: it won't boot windows, only install windows. it will only boot ubuntu. | 19:23 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: if that makes any sense lol | 19:23 |
| kv102t | rehan: yeh, same kinda thing. Bootable and GUI. I would do that. after that do the step on that link, then you could restore your current ubuntu partition to the device and then work on the MBR/Grub. | 19:23 |
| urlin2u | thunsucker, Rehan there are many multiple boot usb thumnb apps | 19:23 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja, it says /etc/init.d/network: command not found | 19:23 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: have the name of one? | 19:23 |
| jtran | i'm running ubuntu 11.04 and running an app using python2.6. I need to install python-libvirt , yet the only one i see avail in apt is for python2.7. what can i do to install the one for python2.6 | 19:23 |
| urlin2u | thunsucker, yeah hold on | 19:23 |
| NixNinja__ | sudo ./etc/init.d/network restart | 19:23 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: read what Rehan put, he wants to the option to boot ubuntu or install win7 | 19:24 |
| ke1ha | not ./etc just /etc | 19:24 |
| abstrakt | srsly tho, what do I have to do? | 19:24 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, It still says command not found | 19:24 |
| Pici | TYDIRocks: its networking, not network. | 19:24 |
| abstrakt | i'm using the proper username and password, I can ssh with them | 19:24 |
| kv102t | rehan: If you do use clonezilla I would backup the partitions and then backup the hole USB drive. (hole: for a dull restore, Partitions: so you can just restore one off partitions) | 19:24 |
| abstrakt | the shares show up in windows | 19:24 |
| TYDIRocks | Pici, oh | 19:24 |
| urlin2u | thunsucker, yes I read the iso is not a live cd http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://liveusb.info/dotclear/&ei=0X1FTsarDqHjiAKWrt3fAQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CF8Q7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmultisystem%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26site%3Dwebhp%26prmd%3Divns | 19:24 |
| Rehan | kv102t: ok so i make a complete image of my usb drive right now with ubuntu on it. Then I format the drive and make a Win7 install on the usb, and then I resize that partiton and somehow move my Ubuntu back? | 19:24 |
| ke1ha | NixNinja__: Also isn't it /etc/init.d/networking restart | 19:25 |
| NixNinja__ | yeah my bad :) | 19:25 |
| abstrakt | i can get to them if i have user.group of nobody.nogroup but I can't do a normal user login | 19:25 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, Okay I did that and it still says unkown host google.com | 19:25 |
| abstrakt | i thought that security = user was supposed to use the regular /etc/passwd and /etc/group files | 19:25 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, you will not have luck with a thumb and window 7 install not designed for it and will break. | 19:25 |
| abstrakt | I installed the pam module as instructed | 19:25 |
| NixNinja__ | in windows what does it say your dns settings are | 19:25 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, where can I find that? | 19:26 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: not for what you want, here is the link urlin2u found, it will be your best bet to get what you want working: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://liveusb.info/dotclear/&ei=0X1FTsarDqHjiAKWrt3fAQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CF8Q7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmultisystem%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26site%3Dwebhp%26prmd%3Divns | 19:26 |
| NixNinja__ | TYDIRocks, ipconfig /all | 19:26 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: are you saying that i can't install win7 from a thumb drive? | 19:26 |
| bjpenn | NixNinja__, i actually did apt-get install sendmail, but theres no such package, it says sendmail : Depends: sendmail-bin but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages | 19:26 |
| NixNinja__ | I think its called name servers | 19:26 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://liveusb.info/dotclear/&ei=0X1FTsarDqHjiAKWrt3fAQ&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CF8Q7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmultisystem%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG%26site%3Dwebhp%26prmd%3Divns | 19:26 |
| Tyrant | I installed drivers for my Linksys AE1000 USB wireless card on 11.04 but now the wireless manager crashes and any ifconfig command takes a long time to execute | 19:26 |
| NixNinja__ | bjpenn, google installing sendmail on ubuntu | 19:26 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, it says 192.168.1.1 | 19:27 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: there is no way to have a usb stick that has the options to boot a regular install of ubuntu or a win7 install | 19:27 |
| DrManhattan | so whats the future of the ubuntu GUI going to be anyhow? | 19:27 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, from it yes to it yes but u=it will break, MS has it setup to not run a external thumb, or at least thats the generak consensus. | 19:27 |
| ubi | my ubuntu freezes on reboot | 19:27 |
| guntbert | abstrakt: in my view http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambacifs.html is a pretty complete collection of how-to-samba | 19:27 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: however you can have a usb stick that can be a ubuntu live cd or a win7 install | 19:27 |
| DrManhattan | is ubuntu going to be sticking with the whole "unity" setup? | 19:27 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, the install to a thumb will not be stable. | 19:27 |
| kv102t | rehan: I would do the two backups.. Then use gparted to make the partition for windows. then use link to fill partition with Windows 7 install... Then work on MBR/Grub. | 19:27 |
| ke1ha | DrManhattan: Ubnutu GUI, you man Desktop? | 19:27 |
| abstrakt | http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ServerType.html#id2559276 is really vague and unhelpful :( | 19:27 |
| ke1ha | .. you mean Desktop ? | 19:27 |
| DrManhattan | ke1ha, yes, you're aware of what a GUI is? | 19:27 |
| thunsucker | DrManhattan: we are, but it's obvious you haven't found google | 19:28 |
| ubi | it is on compaq nx 8220 | 19:28 |
| ke1ha | DrManhattan: Fully aware, yes sir, Um Unity is the future of Ubuntu Desktop. | 19:28 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, a beautiful dream but not a stable idea W7 on a thumb installed. | 19:28 |
| Rehan | kv102t: two backups? wouldn't i just make one backup of my usb drive right now? | 19:28 |
| DrManhattan | ke1ha, k, thanks. Wasn't so hard to just say yes, was it? | 19:28 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: i'm not trying to have W7 installed on a thumb. I don't think you understand what I'm trying to do lol | 19:28 |
| bjpenn | NixNinja__, try doing that, theres not a single link thats useful | 19:28 |
| kv102t | rehan: If you really don't want to play with current ubuntu then I would get another USB stick to play with. | 19:29 |
| TYDIRocks | NixNinja__, should I change my DNS to 192.168.1.1 then? | 19:29 |
| ke1ha | DrManhattan: Depends on your definition of Hard. | 19:29 |
| DrManhattan | ke1ha, yeah, ok, maybe it was too hard a question. Thanks for trying :) | 19:29 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: rehan wants a usb stick that has a full verison of ubuntu, but when it boots has the option to boot to ubuntu or install win7 | 19:29 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, I didn't think so, you can have multiple SO's on a thumb for install I posted a link to my favorite. | 19:29 |
| urlin2u | ISO's | 19:29 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: i explained it's not possible, only possible to have it boot a linux live cd or a windows install | 19:29 |
| ke1ha | DrManhattan: Yeah, Im not too good with all those Knobs & Switches & Stuff... | 19:29 |
| Pici | DrManhattan: Keep in mind that not everyone here speaks english as their first language. | 19:29 |
| ubi | 11.04 | 19:30 |
| DrManhattan | ke1ha, that's nice. | 19:30 |
| DrManhattan | Pici, k | 19:30 |
| kv102t | rehan: Two backups, yes, I would do ONE that is a full HDD backup. The other would be a full backup but at partition level so i could replace one partition at a time, say the boot partition putting your old ubuntu OS back in the lime light. | 19:30 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: what about kv102t's idea of having two partitions and just having GRUB2 on the MBR and when it chooses the bootable partition that has the Win7 installer on it, it would boot like I had put a Win7 install dvd into the pc | 19:30 |
| urlin2u | thunsucker, cool cary on guys I was just concerned with the install order in general to a HD, does not matter there. ;) | 19:30 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: all good dude, all good, Rehan is confused but doesn't want to listen | 19:30 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, the ISO is a install media not a live one. | 19:31 |
| razorandnotso | hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. i'm trying to set up ubuntu ssh server on my desktop, and i'm having trouble. i'm trying "ssh -v <user>@localhost" and it tells me permission denied (publickey) | 19:31 |
| thunsucker | kv102t: rehan is confused, he wants ubuntu installed on a thumb stick that also gives him the option at boot time to install win7 | 19:31 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: i know its an install media. i want it to be an install media. not a livecd. | 19:31 |
| kv102t | rehan: understand why I would take two backups. | 19:31 |
| thunsucker | razorandnotso: sudo apt-get install ssh | 19:31 |
| razorandnotso | thunsucker: it's already installed | 19:32 |
| urlin2u | thunsucker, could be done with a loopback but a waste of time. | 19:32 |
| thunsucker | razorandnotso: ssh user@host | 19:32 |
| kv102t | thunsucker:I think this is still possible. | 19:32 |
| thunsucker | urlin2u: i agree :) | 19:32 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: sorry, I got sidetracked there for a minute, did you get teh DNS sorted out? | 19:32 |
| Rehan | kv102t: your optimism is refreshing :) | 19:33 |
| thunsucker | kv102t: possible is not always practical | 19:33 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, I have a 16 gig thumb that s full of ISO's for install=W7 and live cd of Ubuntu, bitdefender....etc. | 19:33 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, No. My computer on win7 says the DNS is 192.168.1.1 I tried changing it to that on Ubuntu but it still won't ping google.com | 19:33 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: urlin2u provided a link that can get you 90% there | 19:33 |
| razorandnotso | the problem may be this: debug1 shows that it's trying id_dsa, even though i don't have id_dsa (I once did, then erased them), and it's not trying id_rsa | 19:34 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: on your Win7 Box, open a dos box and type: ipconfig /flushdns | 19:34 |
| razorandnotso | thunsucker, ssh user@host returns could not resolve hostname host | 19:34 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay I did that | 19:34 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: now ipdonfig /all and see what the DNS is. | 19:34 |
| thunsucker | razorandnotso: replace user with the username and host with the ip of the box you're trying to ssh to | 19:34 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: can i pm? | 19:34 |
| urlin2u | sure | 19:34 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: sri ipconfig /all | 19:35 |
| thunsucker | razorandnotso: example: ssh bryan@192.168.0.10 | 19:35 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, still 192.168.1.1 | 19:35 |
| razorandnotso | thunsucker, i am, i'm just replacing my username with 'user' when i say it; shouldn't @localhost work | 19:35 |
| thunsucker | razorandnotso: if you're attempting to ssh yourself, use @127.0.0.1 | 19:36 |
| razorandnotso | thunsucker, that's the same damn thing as @localhost | 19:36 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, that's not right, that's probably your Gateway, and thus the root of your problem why you cna ping an IP address but not resolve a hosname. | 19:36 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, how come everything is fine on win7 though? | 19:36 |
| thunsucker | well razor i see it worked annd you left, lol | 19:37 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Check your routers Lan settings, first, then your main computer (not the virtual box). | 19:37 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Becasue Win7 is getting to a DNS server somehow, but your Gateway IP address is certainly not a DNS server. | 19:38 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay what exactly do I do in my router settings? I pressed LAN IP setup | 19:38 |
| ke1ha | Ok, well, what are the DNS server IP addresses in your Router Configuratiuon? | 19:38 |
| ke1ha | Dont change anythign, jsut tell us whet they are using. | 19:38 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, the setting is automatically get from ISP | 19:39 |
| ke1ha | That's the Ip address, what about DNS | 19:39 |
| hylian | is there a way to install gnome 2 without all the extras, just the neccessary files? gnome in the repos comes with a ton of stuff (I.E. games, etc...) i don not want or need. | 19:39 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, no it's under DNS Address. There is a 2nd radiobutton for the obtion of use these DNS servers, do you want me to tell you them? | 19:39 |
| ke1ha | Meaning, your ISP is giving you a dynamic IP address when you boot the router v.s assigning a static one. | 19:40 |
| ikonia | TYDIRocks: the package gnome-desktop will do that | 19:40 |
| Gasseus | is there any way to save the execution of a program between reboots? | 19:40 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: yes, please list the DNS server, and write them dwon yourself, as you need to set them on your VBOX and Win7 setup. | 19:40 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, Primary: 68.87.73.246. Secondary: 68.87.71.230 | 19:41 |
| player1up | i have installed ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop but the wireless doesnt work.. all the wireless options are greyed out..even though wireless is switched on.. do i need to download drivers? | 19:41 |
| === maxmande1s is now known as maxmanders | ||
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, those two IP's are what you need to set as your DNS in Vbox and anywhere else you set them before. | 19:42 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay, do I just seperate them with commas or just use one? | 19:42 |
| ke1ha | if yo have a 192.168.x.x.x anywhere that's wrong. | 19:42 |
| Frekk | Hi! I'm on this old laptop (an Asus Eee) I just found among my, err, stuff :P It runs Ubuntu 10.04, but I can't get the wireless network to work. I'm 100 % positive it has worked fine earlier. When I type iwconfig in terminal I only find lo and eth0. Any ideas as to how I may recover my precious wlan0? | 19:42 |
| ke1ha | you can use just one, if your only provided one space for a DNS server, but normally there is two at least if not four. | 19:43 |
| Gasseus | Frekk reboot? | 19:43 |
| hylian | is there a way to get a pure gnome, without the extras being installed? apt and synaptic both want to download 10 tons of stuff I do not want or need. | 19:43 |
| Frekk | Gasseus: nope, didn't work :/ | 19:43 |
| amb | question about package management | 19:43 |
| Gasseus | Frekk the answer is no then | 19:43 |
| schnuffle | hylian: what is pure gnome? | 19:43 |
| amb | is there a way to install the newest network manager from synaptic without upgrading entirely to oneiric? | 19:43 |
| Frekk | Gasseus: well, I appreciate the effort :P | 19:44 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, still won't work :| | 19:44 |
| Gasseus | amb add the oneiric repo's temporarily to upgrade network manager then remove them? | 19:44 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: are you in the Vbox, or your main computer box? | 19:44 |
| TYDIRocks | virtual | 19:44 |
| ke1ha | Ok, open you Netowrk settings, and get that back to DHCP Using NAT | 19:45 |
| amb | gasseus: yeah i tried that but synaptic was not happy. tried to get me to upgrade what is possible i believe? | 19:45 |
| ke1ha | then Reboot the Virtual box. | 19:45 |
| TYDIRocks | what is DHCP? | 19:45 |
| Gasseus | amb no clue | 19:45 |
| amb | yeah i might try again | 19:45 |
| schnuffle | Frekk: I've a 901 at home had the same problem , but I'm not at home to help you sorry | 19:45 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Vortual box will assing an IP addredss to your Virtual machine. | 19:45 |
| TYDIRocks | so change my settings back to nat? | 19:46 |
| oCean | amb: mixing repositories from other versions is not clever | 19:46 |
| aaas | hylian: you should try and uninstall everything (with the purge flag?) or instlal a minimum install like lubuntu and then add the gnome stuff peicemeal | 19:46 |
| amb | ocean: yeah i think synaptic was trying to tell me that | 19:46 |
| Frekk | schnuffle: 901 - same as me. But you were able to fix it? | 19:46 |
| TYDIRocks | Do you think I should maybe just change to virtualbox? Because I just booted up arch linux and the network was working fine | 19:46 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: But DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal | 19:46 |
| hylian | s/quit | 19:46 |
| Kireji | I need to do a console upgrade from karmic to lucid - is there a web page to walk me through it? | 19:46 |
| qdk | Im using Ubuntu 11.04 and have setup a OpenVPN connection in NetworkManager and it works just fin, but after hibernation my VPN connect (in "VPN connections") is gone and now long shows in NetworkManager.. How do I fix that without a reboot? killing NetworkManager doesnt help, the submenu is stil blank. | 19:47 |
| amb | i did try downloading the latest package for my arch and using dpkg -i but that won't handle dependency management | 19:47 |
| amb | so it blew up also | 19:47 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: and in most cases, especially in Virtual Workstations, maybe not for servers, DHCP is what you want in order to simplify newtworking needs. | 19:47 |

| ubottu | bluefirex: Oneiric Ocelot is the codename for Ubuntu 11.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 19:50 |
| ke1ha | Not, Power down the virtual machine, then exit VMware, then Relaunch VMware. | 19:50 |
| urlin2u | bluefirex, use the custom install and point grub at the externals mbr | 19:51 |

| TheFuzzball | If I make a persistent LiveUSB stick with gtk-usb-creator, will the "persistence" apply to installed packages? | 19:53 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: you are wrong, i agree with him | 19:53 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: I think it's VM >> Settings, then click the network Icon | 19:53 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay I opened up Virtual Network editor but the DHCP settings button is grayed out | 19:53 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: I'm more than happy to be wrong, but could you explain it to me? | 19:53 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, be that yiur opinion it is against the chanel policy to discuss piracy, go away, before your banned. | 19:53 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: not to mention that there is a strong possibility that you're using a crack to make it work, which is another unsafe thing to do | 19:54 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Is NAT avavailable? | 19:54 |
| Rehan | urlin2u: I'm not discussing piracy. I'm discussing hashes. | 19:54 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: i dont' argue or discuss topics of that n ature | 19:54 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: no I have a key | 19:54 |
| thunsucker | Rehan: stop bothering me | 19:54 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, don't know if that helps with your question, but it will show you the dns records | 19:54 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, yes but it says it can only be used on one network, it has a list of VMnet0-VMnet9 | 19:54 |
| TYDIRocks | all with different subnet addresses | 19:55 |
| urlin2u | Rehan, #windows ask them | 19:55 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: yikes, this server doesn't have dig... and I'm not the admin. | 19:55 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Select NAT, save, exit, reloaunch VMware | 19:55 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, on which subnet address though? | 19:55 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, you want to know what software that server is using to provide dns? | 19:55 |
| alpha | i have ubuntu 11.04 and computer temperature applet doesn't seem to work.can anybody help?? | 19:55 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: I dont think it matters, as they are all Virtual NICS< so pick one. | 19:55 |
| Rehan | thunsucker: i am just trying to figure out if my concept of how hashes work is completely wrong since 2 people in here have now told me that if a hash matches it doesn't necessarily mean the two files are identical. | 19:56 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, can I should you a picture so maybe you could see? | 19:56 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: yes... so I can repoint an MX record. | 19:56 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Sure, go ahead, also make sure you select connect at startup. | 19:56 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, http://k.min.us/ijwY5o.png | 19:56 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: :-) .. Ok, first hit the Restore Deafults. | 19:57 |
| escott | kernelpanicker, that would be hard to do not being the admin. for ubuntu server you would look at service service --status-all to identify the dns server in use, and then modify files in /etc/ corresponding to that dns server | 19:57 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: The hit "apply" | 19:57 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay let me turn off ubuntu first | 19:57 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: yes, not Virtual Machines shouolt be running when Configuring anythign in VMWare | 19:58 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: After restor Default, shoot us another picy real quick, | 19:58 |
| oCean | Rehan: http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/ | 19:59 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay I have restored to defaults, taking a screen | 19:59 |
| ke1ha | Cool TNX | 19:59 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: sweet, thanks | 19:59 |
| feyd | can anyone tell me why my XFCE menus quadrupled in size when I started an XFCE4 session manually? (startxfce4) - the menus are gigantic and totally unorganized now | 20:00 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, http://k.min.us/ij1VxQ.png | 20:00 |
| Rehan | thanks oCean! :) | 20:00 |
| ashme2 | Hi , Just installed Ubuntu on a n-book , how can i get internet working ? please help.. | 20:01 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, seletct, NAT amd Usel Local DHCP service to distribute IP addresses to VM's | 20:01 |
| Rehan | oCean: does that apply to SHA-1 hashes also? | 20:01 |
| TYDIRocks | Should I change VMnet8 to bridging then? | 20:02 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: No Bridging. | 20:02 |
| TYDIRocks | What should I set it to then so I can change vmnet0 to NAT | 20:02 |
| oCean | Rehan: I'm not sure. I think you could aks in #ubuntu-offtopic, since this isn't really ubuntu specific, and there are knowledgeable folks too | 20:03 |
| ashme2 | Get internet working ? | 20:03 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Oh, I see you selected VMnet0 .. Yes, ok, Bridge for external, automatin, NAT, then Use Local DHCP | 20:03 |
| Hormonal | I have a question. ;D | 20:03 |
| guntbert | !ask | Hormonal | 20:04 |
| ubottu | Hormonal: 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. :-) | 20:04 |
| qdk | Im using Ubuntu 11.04 and have setup a OpenVPN connection in NetworkManager and it works just fin, but after hibernation my VPN connect (in "VPN connections") is gone and now long shows in NetworkManager.. How do I fix that without a reboot? killing NetworkManager doesnt help, the submenu is stil blank. AND nothing happens selecting anything in NetworkManager not even "disconnect" works... How do I fix it without rebooting? | 20:04 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: then apply, then Ok, which should exit you from Network Manager. | 20:04 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay done. Should I take note of the subnet address for the NAT connection? | 20:05 |
| Hormonal | @guntbert, how awesome is Ubuntu with Unity? :D | 20:05 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: No, if we need that we can some back an get it. | 20:05 |
| Hormonal | Nah, I'm just kidding. ;P | 20:05 |
| Hormonal | The real question... | 20:05 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay, do I need to restart vmware now? | 20:05 |
| guntbert | Hormonal: how is that an ubuntu support question? | 20:05 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Yes, Restart VMware. | 20:05 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, does the tray icon mean it's running tho? It's kind of a pain in the ass you can't even close that | 20:06 |
| ke1ha | LOL.. I dont know abotu the sys-tray, but make sure they are all stopped then restarted :-) | 20:06 |
| Hormonal | A week ago I started having a HD problem... Ubuntu freezes from time to time and whenever the system loads it gives me a little notice that my hard has logical errors. | 20:06 |
| TYDIRocks | ok xD | 20:07 |
| Hormonal | And options to ignore or fix them... | 20:07 |
| kernelpanicker | escott: how do I grep or less the 'service --status-all' output... piping it into less or more doesn't work and outputting it into file doesn't either... too much for one screen... | 20:07 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, boot up Ubuntu now? | 20:07 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: You can right-=click the syst-tray icon I think, and select exit maybe. | 20:07 |
| milen8204 | Hello all | 20:07 |
| Hormonal | I choose to repair them and left my PC active for more then 24 freaking hours... Nothing helped. :S | 20:07 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha no it's grayed out :\ | 20:07 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: No, not boot Ubuntu yet, | 20:07 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, alright I opened vmware | 20:07 |
| ke1ha | Select the Ubuntu VM, and selete the properties, or Networksettings or however you configure the Virtual machine. | 20:08 |
| zen_ | I'm doing this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting under Non-Mac x86_64 UEFI systems but when I run this line "../grub-probe --target=device /boot/efi/efi/grub/grub.efi" I get ../grub-probe: error: cannot stat 'aufs'. | 20:08 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay I pressed network adapter | 20:08 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: I've not seyt these in VMware but, yoiu want to make the Virtual Box, NAT and / or DHCP and that should be all you need to do for the Virtual Machine as far as netowrkign goes. | 20:09 |
| Hormonal | Smart data shows warnings for... "Current pending sector count", "Airflow temperature" and "Reallocated sector count". | 20:09 |
| Pandachips | Hmm, I've understood "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" is deprecated.. and it's been replaced by several files in "/usr/share/X11/". However I can't find in any of these anything related to screen settings? | 20:09 |
| Hormonal | Will my HD die? | 20:09 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: No, xorg.conf still can be used. | 20:09 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha alright it's set on NAT | 20:09 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: It just doesn't exist if automatic X configuration takes place. | 20:10 |
| ke1ha | Ok, Apply, Save exit whatever thet is there, then start the Virtual Machine. | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: Create it and it'll work | 20:10 |
| guntbert | Hormonal: yes (as will all HDs :-)), but in that case pretty soon probably | 20:10 |
| Hormonal | Darn it! | 20:10 |
| Pandachips | theadmin, so I just redirect nvidia-settings to save it in "/usr/share/X11/"? | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Hormonal: Hey, it's just a box. The data is what's important, save it before it's too late? | 20:10 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: No, it still is supposed to generate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:11 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay Ubuntu is powered up | 20:11 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: Run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 20:11 |
| Hormonal | Atleast I can now try how Ubuntu One works. | 20:11 |
| ke1ha | Ok, open a terminal, ping google.com | 20:11 |
| ashme2 | When i try to ping my router , at 192.168.0.1 , it says Network is Unreachable | 20:11 |
| ashme2 | help >? | 20:11 |
| === ashme2 is now known as ashmew2 | ||
| Pandachips | theadmin, I tried that earlier.. though however now it seems ot make a mockery of me by actually working. Thanks :) | 20:12 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, it just hangs there, with the blinkin white box thing on the next line | 20:12 |
| Hormonal | Oh well, RIP my 250gb HD. T.T | 20:12 |
| * Hormonal starts digging a little grave. | 20:12 | |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, okay after awhile it says unkown host google.com :| | 20:12 |
| Hormonal | Thanks guys. ^^ | 20:12 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: ok . that's not a good sign, | 20:12 |
| Pandachips | theadmin, somehow "gksu nvidia-settings" made it work, and "sudo nvidia-settings" didn't. | 20:12 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: ping 8.8.8.8 | 20:12 |
| theadmin | Pandachips: Ah, makes sense I guess. | 20:13 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, host unreachable | 20:13 |
| theadmin | Well, good night everyone. | 20:13 |
| ke1ha | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 20:13 |
| TYDIRocks | okay | 20:13 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: then ifconfig | pasteninit | 20:13 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Does tar --update work okay with subversion repositories? | 20:14 |
| TYDIRocks | do you mean pastebinit? | 20:14 |
| ke1ha | Yes | 20:14 |
| TYDIRocks | Error fetching interface information: Device not found | 20:14 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: ok: ifconfig /all | pastebinit | 20:15 |
| TYDIRocks | It says the program pastebinit is not installed | 20:15 |
| TYDIRocks | can I use apt-get install or does that need to download stuff? | 20:16 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Well that would be nice if you could get to the Net :-)( | 20:16 |
| azm | hi, Is there a way to install quicktime to firefox please ? | 20:16 |
| TYDIRocks | :| | 20:16 |
| azm | I need quicktime plugin for some browser app | 20:16 |
| Brixius | I'm trying to figure out how I can run a script any time a network cable is connected or disconnected from my system. I've tried placing a script in /etc/network/if*.d but it appears that those scripts only get run when I do a service networking restart not when a cable is connected. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? | 20:16 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Which desktop are you running Unity or Ubuntu classic? | 20:17 |
| traskers | for some reason a few applications (Marlin and Nautilus are the ones I've noticed) won't theme? They don't load any icons and the GTK theme is just Redmond. | 20:17 |
| TYDIRocks | How can I find out? | 20:17 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Do you have a bar accross the top of your desktop, or Icons down the left side? | 20:17 |
| TYDIRocks | Bar across the top | 20:18 |
| TYDIRocks | I think the first time I was booting up it said something about problems with unity. I don't remember entirely though | 20:18 |
| Guest64974 | hi all | 20:18 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Classic I think then. Right click the network Icon, and make sure it's enabled. | 20:18 |
| guicho | hello, i have a problem with ubuntu and virtualbox. I have a pc with 2 hdd configured in RAID 1 by the BIOS, running ubuntu 11.04 amd 64. I installed Virtualbox and made a VM with a Windows Guest. The RAID is configured with 3 partitions: 1) Ubuntu OS 2) Swapp 3) NTFS (Only Data). I attached the partition NTFS via RAW access disk (vmdk) to the VM, but when i started and go to see my data en the NTFS partitions the VM freezes and virtualbox too. I heard that | 20:19 |
| TYDIRocks | I think it's left click | 20:19 |
| guicho | possibly permissions issue on something called udev. | 20:19 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Yeah, if it's a low resource machine, it will default to Ubuntu CLassic. | 20:19 |
| TYDIRocks | Enable Networking is checked | 20:19 |
| ikonia | guicho: fake raid is not a good idea on linux | 20:19 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: left /right, whichever, jsut makesure Netowrkign enables and disables, | 20:19 |
| ikonia | guicho: there is no end of instability/complications/problems | 20:19 |
| TYDIRocks | disable it and enable it? | 20:20 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: yes, lets try that. | 20:20 |
| guicho | i don't understand. | 20:20 |
| TYDIRocks | Still can't ping 8.8.8.8 :| | 20:20 |
| ikonia | guicho: fake raid as a technology under linux has a lot of problems, basing your vbox guests on it (in my opinion) is a bad idea | 20:21 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: I just want to make sure tha your gettign an IP address from VMware. in a terminal ifconfig pse. | 20:21 |
| TYDIRocks | what info do you need from ifconfig? | 20:21 |
| === anty is now known as AntY | ||
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | 20:22 |
| Brixius | Anyone know how to run a script anytime a network cable is connected or disconnected? | 20:22 |
| === AntY is now known as unknown123-se | ||
| ikonia | Brixius: that's not going to be easy as that's not a network layer event | 20:22 |
| === unknown123-se is now known as AntY | ||
| vademecum | I need to make a script file on a usb stick executable but when I run chmod 755 <file> nothing happens, even w/sudo | 20:22 |
| maxmanders | vademecum: Does lsattr <file> show an 'i' in the output - could the file be immutable? | 20:23 |
| TYDIRocks | First line my address is 192.168.1.1, 2nd line it's 127.0.0.1 | 20:23 |
| azm | is there alternative for quicktime plugin please ? | 20:23 |
| zykotick9 | vademecum, is your usb formatted FAT? | 20:23 |
| * vademecum checking... | 20:23 | |
| Brixius | ikonia: that's a bummer, I have a couple of systems that I need to send to remote locations, I wanted to update /etc/issue with the ip address when they plug in a cable. | 20:23 |
| Brixius | ikona: I don't want to give them a login to the box. | 20:24 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Im stuimmped here, 1.1 or 0.1 should be your gateway, not your IP addy, Im at a loss as to why your getting that IP address. | 20:24 |
| ikonia | Brixius: that's different, you want to update the file when it gets a network address, not when then plugin the cable | 20:24 |
| ikonia | !quicktime |azm | 20:25 |
| ubottu | azm: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 20:25 |
| Guest64974 | can anyone point me in a 1st 2nd 3rd .... step direction in being a linux guru. i have a conceptual understanding of most of it, but should i learn and perfect scripting before i do a build from kernel up. book recommendations. | 20:25 |
| vademecum | maxmanders: "Inappropriate ioctl for device..." | 20:25 |
| TYDIRocks | I think it's vmware | 20:25 |
| TYDIRocks | becase it seems with virtualbox I could ping google.com with arch linux | 20:25 |
| vademecum | zykotick9: fat, yes | 20:25 |
| ikonia | Guest64974: what you want doesn't exist and is nothing to do with ubuntu | 20:25 |
| zykotick9 | vademecum, you can't apply posix permissions to FAT/NTFS | 20:25 |
| azm | ikonia, I have already ubuntu-restricted-extras installed. | 20:26 |
| azm | ikonia, it still will not play http://www.strangekey.com/#Player:000_0*d0jmpsvy1*4!4_120,0_0*00jmpsvy1*4!4_120,0_0*70jmpsvy1*4!4_120 | 20:26 |
| Brixius | ikonia: I guess that would work, I had put something in rc.local that updates the /etc/issue on boot. but was hoping for something more dynamic then that. | 20:26 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, we're goign to try one more thing, then I really out of ideas here. Close your Virtual Machine. | 20:26 |
| guicho | ok, but if i have another phisical disk, can attach this via RAW to VM? If it is. I need to set permisions for disc access? | 20:26 |
| Guest64974 | ikonia not a book that tells it all but an outline of the direction i should be going in . the order of learning that would be best | 20:27 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: The select the Ubuntu Virtual Box, and edit the network properties again. | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Brixius: a simple solution is to have a cronjob that runs every 5 minutes that updates /etc/issue with the currentip | 20:27 |
| magpii | good evening folks. if i change from windows to ubuntu on my main pc, can i still get access to my trucrypt usb hard drive? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Guest64974: it doesn't exist | 20:27 |
| TYDIRocks | Okay | 20:27 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: This time, select Bridged Networking. | 20:27 |
| TYDIRocks | ok | 20:27 |
| Brixius | ikonia: better then nothing, that'll work. | 20:28 |
| ke1ha | The restart the Viurtual Box. | 20:28 |
| Brixius | ikonia: thanks | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Brixius: seems a simple solution to me, | 20:28 |
| vademecum | I want to use youtube-dl but I have to move it right to the usb stick cause I don't have room on my SSD | 20:28 |
| ke1ha | Not VMNware, the Virtual Ubuntu Machine | 20:28 |
| ashmew2 | On the live CD right now , an ethernet cable plugged in , Wired Network still shows as disconnected , what's the issue ? Any help ? | 20:28 |
| Guest64974 | ok, does anyone here have any suggestions | 20:28 |
| escott | guicho, for raw disk access by the vm you probably would need to run as root or adjust permissions in /dev, | 20:28 |
| scorchgeek | are there ever any files ending in ~ that it's not safe to delete? I want to delete all those stupid backup files from / down, but want to double-check to make sure I won't delete anything important | 20:28 |
| ikonia | Guest64974: we deal with ubuntu issues, not linux overviews | 20:28 |
| vademecum | doesn't seem to be a redirecting option | 20:28 |
| Guest64974 | ok, thank you | 20:29 |
| TYDIRocks | okay it's booted up | 20:29 |
| Brixius | ikonia: sometimes when you go down a track ya get focused on one solution and forget to backup and think about other possible solutions. | 20:29 |
| zykotick9 | vademecum, "sh youtube-dl" perhaps? | 20:29 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all | 20:29 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, in terminal: ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | 20:29 |
| ikonia | Brixius: totally, that wasn't a critisism, more "seems to tick your boxes, clean and simple" | 20:29 |
| ziyadb | Hi, I am trying to install 11.04 . However, it errors out when around 80% done copying files and blames a I/O error. | 20:29 |
| TYDIRocks | :| | 20:30 |
| TYDIRocks | Same stuff | 20:30 |
| zykotick9 | ziyadb, bad install media or bad HD | 20:30 |
| ziyadb | tried multiple times, always fails at the same percentage, but my live CD is fine, in fact, I am on it right now. | 20:30 |
| TheTongue2 | scorchgeek, do this: find . -iname "*~" -printf "#rm -f \"%P\"\n" >editthenrun.sh | 20:30 |
| Brixius | kelha: how about having him type netstat -rn and check the default gw. | 20:30 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: that is what I would have imagined, but I am currently speaking to you from the live CD I booted into. Also verified MD5 checksum. | 20:30 |
| vademecum | zykotick9: don't understand -- more detail please | 20:30 |
| ziyadb | it is highly improbable that the HD is the issue here, the device is brand new, just purchased it yesterday. | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | ziyadb, if you MD5ed the cd, then it may be the HD (run "dmesg" and look where the I/O error is, if possible) | 20:31 |
| glebihan | vademecum, you cannot make a file executable on a fat partition | 20:31 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: You could try that, an find the gateway, but somehting isn't work'en here: netstat -rn | 20:31 |
| vademecum | yes I know | 20:31 |
| ziyadb | I would like to try to "force install" it (i.e. write to the drive) ideally via terminal. | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | vademecum, from a terminal cd to the USB and try running "sh youtube-dl foo" | 20:31 |
| eydaimon | so I've installed ichinga (nagios alternative), but the documentation seems terrible. I can't figure out how to even connect to it. Is there any doc for how this is set up? | 20:32 |
| * vademecum goin in... | 20:32 | |
| scorchgeek | TheTongue2: the list would probably be too long to scroll through, and I was looking more for a general statement that it'd be fine, but thanks | 20:32 |
| TheTongue2 | run it after removing #'s like so, sh editthenrun.sh | 20:32 |
| Guest64974 | my problem is the launcher and top bar want show on 11.4 . if i open a shell i dont get the max min and exit at the top, and i cant move the shell around on the screen. I think its a window or session manager but I dont which or how to fix. | 20:32 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: On the second line I think wil be your gateway, but Im not uderstanding why your not gettign an IP from the VMware Workstation/. | 20:32 |
| TheTongue2 | mmm, ok ... | 20:32 |
| magpii | can i use my trucrypt disk which is on my windows pc, on ubuntu if i install the os? | 20:32 |
| TYDIRocks | the 2nd line says 169.254.0.0. | 20:33 |
| scorchgeek | magpii: yes, you can, truecrypt containers are cross-platform | 20:33 |
| TYDIRocks | The gateway for it is 0.0.0.0 tho | 20:33 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: tons of this, " Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 32685" | 20:33 |
| zykotick9 | ziyadb, sr0 is the cdrom drive | 20:33 |
| ziyadb | with contiguous block numbers. | 20:33 |
| Brixius | kelha: several other things to check, vm network configuration(make sure it's not host only, should be NAT or Shared) | 20:33 |
| scorchgeek | magpii: though if you mean the whole windows drive is encrypted, I'm not entirely sure how that would work | 20:33 |
| magpii | scorchgeek: cheers mate, windows has pissed me off for the last time, gonna stick ubuntu on my pc | 20:34 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: that to me doesn't seem right at all. Im stuck, I dont know why it's not DHCPO from VMware. | 20:34 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: ah, so particular sectors of the CD are no good? | 20:34 |
| TheTongue2 | I just use cryptsetup, but yar, truecrypt is better | 20:34 |
| ziyadb | that is quite odd, considering that I am booted into it right now. | 20:34 |
| zykotick9 | ziyadb, it's either the cd itself or the drive | 20:34 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, I think I'm just going to give up, My dad is coming home today with my laptop, I think I'll just install it on that | 20:34 |
| magpii | scorchgeek: no, i have trucrypt on an external usb drive and will be wiping windows off the pc its connected to | 20:34 |
| TheTongue2 | ok goodnight, I must sleep, happy hacking | 20:34 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: CD, laptop is new. | 20:34 |
| Brixius | kelha: You've been working with him, so I don't want to confuse the matter, I'm not sure what you checked or not yet. | 20:34 |
| scorchgeek | magpii: ok, that ought to work fine then, though I've only tried it with file containers | 20:34 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: is there a way I can make it copy the files anyway? Since the live CD appears to be working fine. | 20:35 |
| ke1ha | Brixius: We tried NAT, no joy, went to bridged, and this is where we're at now. | 20:35 |
| glebihan | Guest64974, try launching "metacity" or "compiz" from your shell | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | ziyadb, not that i know of. I'd recommend you burn it again. | 20:35 |
| ziyadb | zykotick9: thanks, I will. | 20:35 |
| magpii | scorchgeek: gonna wait for my hd to stop copying files then gonna hook it up to my ubuntu laptop and see if theres a problem | 20:35 |
| Brixius | kelha: ok, well sounds tydirocks is giving up on it anyway's | 20:35 |
| ektos | I'm having trouble getting ubuntu to see both of my video cards | 20:36 |
| scorchgeek | magpii: yeah, like I said, should work just fine but can't hurt to confi | 20:36 |
| scorchgeek | *confirm | 20:36 |
| TYDIRocks | I'm going to try virtualbox | 20:36 |
| vademecum | is there a way to "pipe" the output of youtube-dl from /home to /media without using any precious, limited SSD? | 20:36 |
| ke1ha | Brixius: TYDIRocksWe verified the DNS and router settings, then went to VMware VM Settings, then to the Virtual host settings, but its not playing ball. It's somethign simple Im sure, but Im not finding it. | 20:36 |
| Guest64974 | while in the shell I can get the compiz config center | 20:36 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Virtualbox, much easier :-) | 20:36 |
| esgy | hey all, i got problem issues with installing spidermonkey, does anyone could help me (newbie mode) to install it properly on my ubuntu? | 20:36 |
| dr_willis | !info spidermonkey | 20:38 |
| ubottu | Package spidermonkey does not exist in natty | 20:38 |
| esgy | damn that s the reason .... | 20:38 |
| Guest64974 | glebihan: i can open anything with the command line but I dont think I have a window manager is the problem. I dont know how to tell or what to do if i dont. | 20:39 |
| dr_willis | whats spidermonkey anyways? | 20:39 |
| esgy | javascript module | 20:39 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Have a read here, jsut to see how things work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 20:39 |
| glebihan | Guest64974, did you try running "metacity" ? this should have launched the window manager | 20:39 |
| scorchgeek | esgy: there's source code that says it should compile, you just can't install it through the package manager | 20:39 |
| scorchgeek | https://developer.mozilla.org/En/SpiderMonkey/Build_Documentation | 20:39 |
| Guest64974 | I'm going to in a minute I switched to classic, so I will have to logout first | 20:40 |
| esgy | scorchgeek, i tried to compile but my program using spidermonkey (peepdf) tell me it needs spidermonkey | 20:40 |
| scorchgeek | esgy: right, then you need to install spidermonkey first | 20:41 |
| Brixius | TYDIrocks: I'd verify that your vmware installation is correct, if your running it in linux, make sure your configuration worked successfully, I believe there's some kernel modules that need to be compiled, if they are not built correctly your networking won't work. If your running VMWare on windows, try reinstallilng it and rebooting to make sure all drivers are loaded. | 20:41 |
| ashmew2 | Can't get Ethernet to work , lspci | grep Ethernet shows Ethernet Controller from Marvell Technology..Any help ? | 20:41 |

| Holden | Hello, has anyone tried flash 11 beta 2 (64bit) with lucid? Everything seems to work, but when I close firefox it hangs because plugin-container won't quit | 20:43 |
| hagus | Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 20:44 |
| hagus | Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 20:44 |
| ikonia | hagus: what are you trying to do ? | 20:44 |
| urlin2u | Holden, personally I just install the FF add on flash aid it will install the betas, and clean up the crud. | 20:44 |
| glebihan | hagus, you probably forgot to use sudo | 20:44 |
| hagus | When I use sudo : | 20:45 |
| hagus | sudo: must be setuid root | 20:45 |
| dr_willis | sounds like somthing is broken badly........ hagus | 20:45 |
| ikonia | hagus: that file has nothing to do with sudi | 20:45 |
| * hagus quivers | 20:45 | |
| ikonia | sudo | 20:45 |
| ikonia | hagus: what have you done that caused this problem | 20:45 |
| hagus | I think that I chowned /usr -R | 20:46 |
| dr_willis | ls -l /usr/bin/sudo | 20:46 |
| dr_willis | -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 156820 2011-05-23 04:07 /usr/bin/sudo | 20:46 |
| Holden | urlin2u, yes, i could try that, but I wanted to know if anyone else had noticed that | 20:46 |
| hagus | to belong to calum | 20:46 |
| dr_willis | hagus, that could be bad.. :) | 20:46 |
| dr_willis | check permissions on that /usr/bin/sudo | 20:46 |
| ikonia | hagus I suggest a re-install | 20:46 |
| ikonia | hagus: the permisisons on that set of files are important | 20:46 |
| hagus | -rwxr-xr-x 2 calum root 144508 2011-05-30 06:51 /usr/bin/sudo | 20:47 |
| ke1ha | Well that's interesting, how'd the owner become calum | 20:47 |
| hagus | I chowned | 20:48 |
| hagus | I gave the command chown calum /usr -R | 20:48 |
| zykotick9 | ke1ha, hagus recursively chowned /usr. hagus i hope this is a learning experience for you. | 20:48 |
| ikonia | hagus: I would suggest re-installing to get a sane system back. | 20:48 |
| ke1ha | chown -R is a dangerous command, especially in /usr | 20:49 |
| hagus | I have a wube installation (win7 dual boot) | 20:49 |
| hagus | I think it is wube you call it. | 20:49 |
| urlin2u | wubi | 20:49 |
| hagus | ok | 20:49 |
| hagus | wubi | 20:49 |
| hagus | thanks | 20:49 |
| hagus | Could I not just chown it back to root? | 20:50 |
| ke1ha | To be honest, I'd woudn't know where to start in trying to restore those permissions correctly. | 20:50 |
| zykotick9 | hagus, probably not everything was owned by root - reinstall is best idea | 20:50 |
| ikonia | hagus: I would suggest re-installing, as you've done more than just chown it | 20:50 |
| hagus | So, I should save my data and reinstall? | 20:50 |
| glebihan | hagus, cannot hurt to try, but you'd probably be better of reinstalling to have a clean system | 20:50 |
| ikonia | hagus: yes | 20:50 |
| ke1ha | hagus: Problem is, not all apps in /usr are owned by root, so changing them back could break many other things. | 20:51 |
| glebihan | ke1ha, worth a check but I don't think I have anything in /usr not owned by root | 20:51 |
| segfault | Just do it for fun and report back results. Probably best to reinstall though. | 20:51 |
| ke1ha | for example, in /usr you have /local /share /src etc etc etc, those all have diff owners / group combo's. | 20:52 |
| hagus | I shall try but a nick leg segfault scares me :) | 20:52 |
| AntY | Trying to remove GRUB2 and install GRUB legacy through a live session, anybody knows how to do that? | 20:52 |
| bobweaver | hi there last night my computer got hijacked what do I do now ? | 20:52 |
| rafaht | Hello! | 20:53 |
| ikonia | AntY: you just overwrite grub2 on the mbr with grub1 | 20:53 |
| ikonia | !grub > AntY | 20:53 |
| ubottu | AntY, please see my private message | 20:53 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: re-install | 20:53 |

| iridium_ | bobweaver, reinstall and different paswdç | 20:53 |
| ikonia | iridium_: how do you know it was even a password that got the exploit, | 20:54 |
| bobweaver | how to make sure all ports are closed | 20:54 |
| ke1ha | In any case, klike ya said, can't hurt I suppose, at least it would be back to a safe level user, being sudo that is. | 20:54 |

| TYDIRocks | uninstall | 20:54 |
| TYDIRocks | xD | 20:54 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: only run the services nyou want | 20:54 |
| bobweaver | I was using tor and stoped using it and as soon as I stoped using it I got D0s | 20:54 |
| Brixius | bobweaver: backup your data might not hurt to do a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda(or hda) to wipe your partition table.(That will erase EVERYTHING from your disk) | 20:54 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Itr's all I use, and it's worked great for me, glad you got it working mate. | 20:54 |
| Synthead | is there online documentation about the "part" command in the ubuntu installer? | 20:54 |
| segfault | Remove all Microsoft products from the building. | 20:54 |
| TYDIRocks | Thanks | 20:54 |
| hagus | When you say reinstall, that is not the same as dropping down to root and asking it restore my ubuntu desktop? | 20:55 |
| ikonia | segfault: no-one is using any microsoft product, please keep the pointless bashing comments out of this channel | 20:55 |
| chili555 | bobweaver, how r ya, d00d? | 20:55 |
| * hagus used ms to install his version of ubuntu | 20:55 | |

| ikonia | bobweaver: we don't want to see pictures in here | 20:56 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: please do not post pictures | 20:56 |
| bobweaver | ikonia: it is with imgshack | 20:57 |

| ke1ha | gh0st: actually its gunzip .. sri | 20:57 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: we don't need to see it | 20:57 |

| ikonia | segfault: many people do, you've just missed a ton of questions get answered | 20:57 |
| ikonia | segfault: sorry, that was for Synthead | 20:57 |
| Brixius | CaptWho: I'm guessing there's a tutorial out there, but if you want to do wifi sniffing and stuff, try dling BackTrack you can boot from USB and everything you need is allready installed... | 20:58 |
| Synthead | <Synthead> is there online documentation about the "part" command in the ubuntu installer? | 20:58 |

| thorn__ | #vim | 20:59 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: There's allot of documentaion on the ubuntu installer, but Im not not understand what your asking "part command" | 20:59 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: Are you referring to Partitions ? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | I don't think there is a "part" command in that respect | 20:59 |
| Synthead | ke1ha: like in the kickseed file, the 'part' commands that determine the partitioning scheme | 20:59 |
| CaptWho | thanks Brixius i'll look into that, but i'd really like to get kismet working from the desktop | 21:00 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: The online doecs wont go to that level, if you need that level of detail, id ask in #ubuntu-dev | 21:00 |
| thorn__ | Hello, I need vim with python support. I installed vim 7.3 but it doesn't support python so I cannot use Gundo or ipython in vim... Any help? | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | CaptWho, you might need to use "gksudo kismet" | 21:00 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: They will detail how to Use the partitioner, but noe explain the schema details within the installer. | 21:01 |
| Synthead | ke1ha: there is one person in that room :s | 21:01 |
| CaptWho | <zykotick9> never done that before | 21:01 |
| uabn93 | hello | 21:01 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: Understansd, maybe moto, or in the Forums v.s. IRC> | 21:02 |
| glebihan | thorn__, did you have a look at http://wiki.python.org/moin/Vim ? | 21:02 |
| bjpenn | hmm weird, i went into the folder and created a dir called plugins, and then symlinked it to another folder thats called plugins | 21:03 |
| ke1ha | Synthead: also, #ubuntu-installer maybe somone there that can at least point you in the right direction. | 21:03 |
| thorn__ | glebihan, I think this is vim 7.0. I need vim 7.3, because Gundo supports only 7.3 | 21:03 |
| bjpenn | now whenever i go into plugins, i dont actually go into plugins, i go into the folder before plugins | 21:04 |
| bjpenn | so when i go into plugins | 21:04 |
| bjpenn | i see another folder called plugins | 21:04 |
| glebihan | Synthead, the room is #ubuntu-devel | 21:04 |
| ukjason | :) | 21:04 |
| zykotick9 | bjpenn, you didn't need to create the plugins folder, just the symlink | 21:04 |
| bjpenn | ah | 21:04 |
| bjpenn | so now im hesitant to delete this folder | 21:04 |
| bjpenn | if i delete it, will it also delete the real folder? | 21:05 |
| ke1ha | There's a boatload of folks in #ubuntu-devel | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | bjpenn, if it's a Hard link that is true, soft you should be ok | 21:05 |
| bjpenn | i used ln -s | 21:05 |
| bjpenn | does that mean its a hard link? | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | bjpenn, that's soft | 21:05 |
| bjpenn | how do u create a hard link, i would google, but just for convienence :p | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | bjpenn, sorry "sympolic" i think is the actual name | 21:05 |
| zykotick9 | s/sympolic/symbolic/ | 21:06 |
| bjpenn | how do i make sure i dont delete /opt/rt4/plugins (real folder) | 21:06 |
| bjpenn | and /usr/local/rt4/plugins is a folder i created | 21:06 |
| zykotick9 | bjpenn, i'd make a backup of that directory first | 21:06 |
| eydaimon | question, in the sources.list repo, I can see that icinga is version 1.4.2, but when I install, I only get 1.2.1. What do I need to do to get 1.4.2? | 21:06 |
| bjpenn | zykotick9 ok | 21:07 |
| eydaimon | zykotick9: any idea? | 21:07 |
| ke1ha | bjpenn: little ln tutorial: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-unixlinux-symbolic-soft-and-hard-links.html | 21:07 |

| eydaimon | zykotick9: i'm just trying to install the latest version | 21:08 |
| eydaimon | zykotick9: but the default onlyu installs version 1.2.1 | 21:08 |
| glebihan | eydaimon, the version in the repos (for natty) is 1.2.1-1 | 21:08 |
| zykotick9 | !info icinga | 21:08 |

| === james is now known as Guest42452 | ||
| yhager | I've added ppa:kubuntu-ppa/experimental, and installed kmail 4.7, but now I want to downgrade back. I removed the ppa from apt sources, and tried 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade', but it didn't downgrade it | 21:15 |
| JimmyNeutron | fructose: modify your .bashrc and add it to it | 21:15 |
| eydaimon | well, to source I go | 21:15 |
| yhager | how do I go about removing/downgrading a package I no longer have the repo defined for? | 21:15 |
| eydaimon | frustrating to have packages so far behind | 21:16 |
| glebihan | eydaimon, you could still try installing lastest version from sources | 21:16 |
| fructose | JimmyNeutron: That would require manual intervention every time change my version of Java | 21:17 |
| fructose | JimmyNeutron: I'm looking for something similar to update-alternatives | 21:17 |
| eydaimon | glebihan: that's what I'm doing. I'm just downloading it from source | 21:17 |
| maxmanders | fructose: couldn't you create a symlink to whichever java you're interested in and then use that symlink in your .bashrc? | 21:18 |
| fructose | maxmanders: Wouldn't I then just have to manually alter the symlink? | 21:18 |
| mongy | yhager, could use synaptic and 'force version' | 21:19 |
| maxmanders | fructose: so you want to be able to install rolling new versions of jdk and have your environment automatically know which is the latest? | 21:19 |
| === jonas_ is now known as Guest6832 | ||
| yhager | mongy: I don't know which apps where installed from that repo - I want to downgrade them all, as if that repo didn't exist in the first place | 21:19 |
| chumbarros | eu nao consigo instalar aplicativos no ubuntu | 21:20 |
| mongy | yhager, or just remove and install it again... make sure you apt-get clean to make sure the newer version aint in cache still | 21:20 |
| mongy | yhager, you need ppa-purge then | 21:20 |
| ke1ha | Yeah, that's like saying dotn go away madd mr ppa package, just go away :) | 21:21 |
| yhager | mongy: ppa-purge looks good, but I guess it needs the ppa to exist in the sources.list to do its job.. Doesn't the installed package db have the info where it was installed from? | 21:22 |
| mongy | yhager, yes | 21:23 |
| mongy | yhager, the ppa needs to exist | 21:23 |
| yhager | mongy: Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: kubuntu-ppa/experimental ppa | 21:23 |
| yhager | oh, maybe it's my bad.. | 21:23 |
| mongy | yhager, you could do a search in synaptic for the ppa name which is usually incorporated in the name of the package | 21:24 |
| fructose | maxmanders: No, I just want my JAVA_HOME variable to update in sync with the alternatives system | 21:25 |
| mongy | yhager, or just click the origin tab and show all apps from that ppa | 21:25 |
| yhager | mongy: my sources.list has | 21:25 |
| yhager | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu natty main | 21:25 |
| yhager | what parameter does ppa-purge expect to remove this? | 21:25 |

| urlin2u | yhager, look in sources.list.d | 21:26 |
| mongy | exception_x, ctcp version? seriously? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | newbie22: the partitioner is part of the installer | 21:26 |
| yhager | (I'm sorry I don't know how to operate GUI applications) | 21:26 |
| exception_x | just lerning irc | 21:26 |
| yhager | urlin2u: that's what I did. I am now trying to purge it, but I am not sure what should the arguments for ppa-purge be | 21:26 |
| exception_x | sorry dude :) | 21:26 |
| ChrisPitzer | hey all. I'm having a fun problem today. My computer will become non-responsive for about 1 second very 4 seconds, on rhythm. And often will ignore my keystrokes durring that time. anyone seen this before? | 21:26 |
| newbie22 | OK, so just download the iso, burn the image to CD, and do the install, This will create a dual boot for me.. | 21:26 |
| maxmanders | fructose: I'm afriad my Java know-how isn't that good any more (last used 1.5 :-S) Think I'm out... | 21:26 |
| mongy | yhager, tried ppa-purge yet? | 21:27 |
| urlin2u | yhager, do you have ubuntu tweak installed or you just cli? | 21:27 |
| newbie22 | ikonia: ? | 21:27 |
| ikonia | !install | newbie22 | 21:28 |
| ubottu | newbie22: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| bobweaver | ikonia: so after talking it over with a friend showing pics and syslog it was not a hack or crack job but mem failure | 21:28 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: ok | 21:28 |
| ubi | problems with reboot | 21:28 |
| glebihan | yhager, ppa-purge should be called this way : ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/experimental | 21:29 |
| ke1ha | yhager: I think this should work: sudo ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/experimental ppa | 21:29 |
| bobweaver | maybe you should not tell people to not show what they think is the problem | 21:29 |
| newbie22 | ubottu: OK, thanks, that where I am not at these sites. Just thought I would throw out a few questions. But, OK, I follow the instructions... | 21:29 |
| ubottu | newbie22: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:29 |
| bobweaver | just a thought | 21:29 |
| ke1ha | Hmm maybe wiothout the final ppa appended on there. | 21:30 |
| yhager | ok, ppa-purge seems to work. Great advice, thanks glebihan, ke1ha and mongy | 21:30 |
| fructose | maxmanders: Might just be there's nothing existing to do what I'm wishing for. Oh well | 21:30 |
| glebihan | yhager, you're welcome | 21:31 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: maybe you should not run into a channel making wild claims | 21:31 |
| bobweaver | there are not so wild | 21:31 |
| bobweaver | my friend | 21:32 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: I've been dosed and cracked - yes, that's a wild comment to make | 21:32 |
| bobweaver | if you would have seen the pics | 21:32 |
| bobweaver | I have been dos also | 21:32 |
| bobweaver | it sucks | 21:32 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: I don't need to see pics | 21:32 |

| bobweaver | I dont want to show you anymore | 21:33 |
| ikonia | then there is no problem | 21:33 |
| lilcyber | hey | 21:33 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, hey what's up. ;) | 21:34 |
| lilcyber | How do you fix xfce, because the menus are not working. Nothing much. | 21:34 |
| bobweaver | I am just saying that if a member comes into the room saying I got hacked ask ARE YOU SURE | 21:34 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, how are you? | 21:34 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, can you give an example? | 21:34 |
| ke1ha | It happens, but usually there's a prtetty good reason for it happening. | 21:34 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: no | 21:34 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, good | 21:35 |
| * bobweaver slaps ikonia with a large mouth bass | 21:35 | |
| lilcyber | Ok when I sign into ubuntu using the xfce session, I cannot see the menus for exit minimize, etc. That is good urlin2u. | 21:35 |
| ikonia | bobweaver: stop the silly "/me" commands please. | 21:35 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, the window buttons? | 21:36 |
| lilcyber | Yeah | 21:36 |
| guntbert | bobweaver: I suggest that next time with a similar problem you say something like "my system is behaving weird: ......., can someone have a look at those screenshots?"... | 21:36 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, have you tweaked compiz? | 21:36 |
| lilcyber | Not at all urlin2u | 21:36 |
| bobweaver | guntbert: thanks you I will take that in :) | 21:37 |
| dankest | My SSHFS keeps unmounting after about 20m. Is there any way to prevent it from doing that? | 21:37 |
| bobweaver | that is how we all learn from each other | 21:37 |
| guntbert | bobweaver: :) | 21:37 |
| willwh | dankest: use NFS? ^_^ | 21:37 |
| willwh | dankest: that is odd - I didn't have those issues when using it | 21:38 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, you might install the compiz config setting manager and tick widows decorations on. | 21:38 |
| === o0oScoRcHo0o is now known as OnTheRoad | ||
| lilcyber | It is on. | 21:38 |
| willwh | dankest: you do know that Nautilus (connect to server option) will let you SCP | 21:38 |
| willwh | and you can set a bookmark too | 21:38 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Is that the SessionAliveInterval setting, set to 20 Maybe? | 21:38 |
| GhostWolf | is there a way to find out what type of wireless card thats is onboard? | 21:38 |
| willwh | GhostWolf: lspci at a terminal | 21:38 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, On the ubuntu natty I have it tweaked in natty for the cube and use a compiz restart when I loose the window buttons panel. | 21:39 |
| bobweaver | is there a way to take the system that I have right now then which is 10.10 and upgrade to 11.04 here is the catch I have other repos that are for 10.10 | 21:39 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, well I switched windows manager to kubuntu-desktop, and then use xfce. | 21:40 |
| GhostWolf | willwh, that will tell me what model it is? | 21:40 |
| bobweaver | how to keep all programs install and working that are for 10.10 on 11.04 | 21:40 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, your third party repositories will be disabled during the upgrade | 21:40 |
| bobweaver | guntbert: is there a way to enable them ? | 21:41 |
| bobweaver | !upgrades | 21:41 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 21:41 |
| === arakthor is now known as viashimo | ||
| glebihan | bobweaver, after the upgrade you will be able to re-enable them (but you should make sure they are compatible) | 21:41 |
| guntbert | bobweaver: ^ says it :) | 21:41 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, I was turned on the this since the fusion icon doesn't run correctly in 11.04 https://launchpad.net/displex | 21:41 |

| LasersFarm | weird. | 21:43 |
| bobweaver | sure | 21:43 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, has a bunch of controls for compiz and other apps similar to the fusion icon. | 21:43 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, if those third party repositories are ppas, they should also be available for 11.04 | 21:43 |
| iridium_ | stuffed-crust, run an apt-get deep clean | 21:43 |
| ke1ha | Ok, that' was interesting, an really problems we can help with? | 21:43 |
| stuffed-crust | iridium_ : k will do :) | 21:43 |
| bobweaver | glebihan: I see up grade the repos then updater and upgrade should fix it ? | 21:43 |
| guntbert | stuffed-crust: please refrain from makong jokes in a support channel | 21:44 |

| stuffed-crust | oh | 21:44 |
| stuffed-crust | k | 21:44 |
| lilcyber | But it isn't the icons that I need help with urlin2u, it is the actual menu bar that is completely missing. | 21:44 |
| exception_x | cya | 21:44 |
| ke1ha | lilcyber: is it missing from the top and bootom of the screen, or just top bar? | 21:44 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, it should, but as I said you should be careful with third party repositories | 21:45 |
| lilcyber | just the top bar of every app | 21:45 |
| ke1ha | lilcyber: Ok, wasn't what I thought it could eb then. | 21:45 |
| bobweaver | I hear that | 21:45 |
| lilcyber | Yeah | 21:45 |
| dankest | willwh: How can I use NFS in place of SSHFS? | 21:45 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, right it has a restart for compiz, run in the terminal compiz --replace and see if they reappear | 21:45 |
| bobweaver | I only have 4 that are thrid party want to see them ? | 21:45 |
| tabakhase | hi there | 21:46 |
| lilcyber | Ok, then you will have to excuse me I have to restart. | 21:46 |
| sprung | I am looking for a way to use Evolution to make a massive exportable calendar list that people using Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail.App. It's a large amount of the same event, on different days at different times. | 21:46 |
| === OY1R_ is now known as OY1R | ||
| bobweaver | tell me if there is something that they could do wrong | 21:46 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, go for it.;) | 21:46 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, I most likely won't be able to tell you | 21:46 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Unless you really need encrypted data, NFS is simple and pretty well understood in the community. | 21:47 |
| tabakhase | im having a problem booting the "livestick" on my computer (on notebook works just fine, so the stick itself seems to be okay) | 21:47 |
| jago25_98 | Which package will give me the /lib/modules/3.0.0-8-generic/build directory? (I already have source, headers and kernel installed...) | 21:47 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, do you know the post bios boot from menu key prompt. | 21:47 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Here's some secutiry background for NFS: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/security.html | 21:47 |
| bobweaver | repos -----> http://paste.ubuntu.com/664544/ | 21:48 |
| dankest | ke1ha: I'm trying to mount the ssh connection using SSHFS | 21:48 |
| sprung | dankest, you also will find autofs interesting as well, it will only have your NFS volumes mounted when you call on it to be mounted. | 21:48 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Understand, was giving you an option / possibility over dealing with SSHFS | 21:48 |
| tabakhase | computer is pciE grafix via HDMI, when loading up livecd he "fails to black" (but the screen is not going off, just "Black" (when turning of pc the screen goes to "no signal", that dosnt happen while boot) | 21:49 |
| tabakhase | is there now a way to get the bootlog or smth? | 21:49 |
| dankest | sprung ke1ha Ah, that makes sense. Thank you. I'll look in to NFS. | 21:50 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, the repo for the tor project shouldn't cause any issues, you'll have to check if inundator has packages for natty | 21:50 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, if start up with the thumb and tap any key or shift do you get a gui | 21:50 |
| tabakhase | urlin2u i reach the "run stick" menue, but it fails afterwards | 21:50 |
| bobweaver | Thanks glebihan | 21:50 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, I think I love you =D haha I have the menu bars back, just have to finish letting the command go | 21:51 |
| glebihan | bobweaver, you're welcome | 21:51 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Also, look into the suggestion I gaave about using the : ServerAliveInterval = XX config setting. | 21:51 |
| tabakhase | urlin2u "start up with the thumb"? | 21:51 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, compiz and 11.04 are a little bit of trouble, but the dosplex link is a great tool for that, has a kill buuton as well. | 21:51 |
| urlin2u | button | 21:51 |
| tabakhase | and when hes black not even strg+alt+f1 gets a reaction | 21:51 |
| urlin2u | displex | 21:52 |
| lilcyber | Sweet, urlin2u I know it is so is the file manager. | 21:52 |

| urlin2u | lilcyber, cool.;) | 21:52 |
| lilcyber | Haha thanks a bunch ur | 21:52 |
| dankest | ke1ha: What would you recommend I set that to? | 21:52 |
| lilcyber | *urlin2u | 21:52 |
| urlin2u | csdserver, ubuntu tweak has a scroll function for that. | 21:53 |
| csdserver | thanks urlin2u | 21:53 |
| glebihan | csdserver, compiz also has an option for that | 21:53 |
| urlin2u | csdserver, no problem. | 21:53 |
| ke1ha | dankest: I'd do testing with it, if your disconnecting at x=20, set it to 15 or somethign, test again, etc etc. | 21:53 |

| ke1ha | dankest: me personally, I'd go wiht a Hardened NFS setup. | 21:53 |
| dankest | ke1ha: thanks | 21:54 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, you might try the alternative ISO. | 21:54 |
| csdserver | it would likely be advanced desktop effects settings (ccsm) since i'm using compiz, correct? | 21:54 |
| dankest | ke1ha: it's a development server, not pro | 21:54 |
| glebihan | csdserver, that's right | 21:54 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, that radeon card probably needs a driver | 21:55 |
| ke1ha | dankest: Understand, that's the best place to try diff setups, see what you like best and which is eaier for you the admin to deal with. | 21:55 |
| sprung | What's the best way to make a large complicated calendar invite that can be used in everything from Evolution to Apple Mail.App to Outlook? | 21:55 |
| tabakhase | urlin2u wtf du you know its a radeon one o.O | 21:55 |
| sprung | i'm talking about 65 or so events all the same but on different dates at different times | 21:55 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, I looked in the web check it out. ;) | 21:55 |
| tabakhase | and you mean i should try ubuntu-11.04-alternate-amd64.iso instead of the normal? | 21:55 |
| sprung | key is that it needs to be exportable because my whole team is going to use it | 21:55 |
| sprung | is there a script i could run from the command line that could read in the dates? | 21:56 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, yeah this will or may work, it is for many situations like driver problems. | 21:56 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, did they fix the cpu heat problem in the kernel yet? | 21:56 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, not sure I am not aware of one myself. | 21:57 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, I havew anetbook never overheats. | 21:57 |
| lilcyber | Oh ok, I heard in kernel 2.6 there was a bug with cpu heat | 21:57 |
| lilcyber | Oh ok, I see. | 21:57 |
| tabakhase | urlin2u great, im downloading, pendriving & checking, thanks so far =) | 21:57 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, I got a nice fat memory leak but lots of ram. | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | tabakhase, hope that works. ;) | 21:58 |
| lilcyber | Really? How did you find that out? Haha I got three gigs | 21:58 |
| rhcp | hey guys | 21:58 |
| ke1ha | sprung: I dount you'll find the grand uniufied script to do all of them, but you could pribably write little modules to do them all from a sentral file or something, just need to know the requirments for each app it's being sent too. | 21:58 |
| rhcp | Got a small question | 21:58 |
| rhcp | I have grub on /dev/sda on MBR | 21:58 |
| rhcp | and i have windows 7 on there | 21:58 |
| rhcp | if i dlete the part using gpartd will i loose grub? | 21:58 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, thats the unsubstantiated rumor, my memory is sitting at 648MIB same as my W7 set up when idle more really. | 21:59 |
| * tabakhase torrenting... | 21:59 | |
| ke1ha | rhcp: which partition are you talking about deleting? | 22:00 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, I have the same problem,but for me it is 300-500mb of ram using constantly | 22:00 |
| rhcp | ke1ha: my windows 7 which is on /dev/sda with bootflag | 22:00 |
| rhcp | and grub is on /dev/sda in mbr | 22:00 |
| rhcp | if i delete it. will grub go by bye | 22:00 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: /dec/sda is the entire device, where /dev/sda1 is a partition on the device /dev/sda | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | i think that wont touch grub.. but if you are that worried about it. you can set up a spare flash drive to boot the os.. in case of emergancy | 22:00 |
| rhcp | ke1ha: sorry its on /dev/sda1 | 22:00 |
| rhcp | my bad | 22:00 |
| urlin2u | rhcp, what is your final goal here? | 22:00 |
| rhcp | if i kill it? | 22:00 |
| rhcp | will grub go away? :) | 22:01 |
| rhcp | Im clearing all my parts | 22:01 |
| rhcp | for 100% linux | 22:01 |
| rhcp | i was tri booting | 22:01 |
| FloodBot1 | rhcp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:01 |
| dr_willis | rhcp, i think that wont touch grub.. but if you are that worried about it. you can set up a spare flash drive to boot the os.. in case of emergancy | 22:01 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: That was my next quesiton, what is the final set up you'd like to have, may dictate how best to approach it. | 22:01 |
| rhcp | what do you think? :) | 22:01 |
| S4nD3r_ | My i915 is not working, is there someone to help me solve this problem??? It's a video card (intel) | 22:01 |
| rhcp | yea, i want to have one big part with just linux :) | 22:01 |
| rhcp | and kill off all 5 | 22:01 |
| rhcp | so far i killed off 4 | 22:01 |
| urlin2u | rhcp, what is the one you want to keep? | 22:02 |
| rhcp | urlin2u: not /dev/sda1 :) whic has windows 7 | 22:02 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: Back up critical data, reinstall and let Ubuntu use the entire disk, fastest & easiest. | 22:02 |
| rhcp | im just curious if it stores grub on there | 22:02 |
| urlin2u | rhcp, which linux distro are you keeping? | 22:02 |
| rhcp | ke1ha: i spent like a month setting up ubuntu :) im not about to nike it | 22:02 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: You can certainly do all this manually, | 22:02 |
| rhcp | ke1ha: using grub-install from live? | 22:03 |
| ke1ha | Yeah, same way you did when installing Grub2, chroot in and install / update grub, but that's not your issue, you gotta combione partitions, and that's tricky :-) | 22:03 |
| urlin2u | rhcp, you can set the mbr from the kept linux from the terminla on the dektop. | 22:04 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, the command isn't done, and I don't want to break it. | 22:04 |
| schnuffle | rhcp: My advice, use clonezille to backp your Linux partiotions, change the harddisk setup like you want and copy the saved partition into the one created. Then you use a Live USB to reconfigure grub | 22:04 |
| rhcp | its all good | 22:04 |
| rhcp | i just want to nuke /dev/sda1 (windows 7) | 22:04 |
| rhcp | and keep grub | 22:04 |
| S4nD3r_ | My video card is intel, but is running in vesa mode, how change it ? | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | rhcp, grub is on the mbr of sda.. not sda1 :) | 22:04 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: keeping grub is the easy part :-) | 22:04 |
| rhcp | so im ok? | 22:04 |
| schnuffle | rhcp: Grub is on the mbr and stores the rest under /boot | 22:05 |
| rhcp | to nuke it | 22:05 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, you have to close it and it should restrt again, that is why I suggest the displex button it restarts without this hassle. | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | reinstalling grub is alwso fairly easy oncew you learn it | 22:05 |
| rhcp | i dont have /boot | 22:05 |
| rhcp | i did one part / | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | rhcp, you got a boot dir on your / | 22:05 |
| rhcp | correct | 22:05 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: you have boot in your /root then or Ubuntu woun't boot at all :-) | 22:05 |
| schnuffle | rhcp: but you got /boot on / :) | 22:05 |
| rhcp | so if i nuke /dev/sda1 and boot | 22:05 |
| rhcp | ill boot? :) | 22:05 |
| dr_willis | so you do have a /boot/ :) | 22:05 |
| yeboot | you could probably simlink whatever you put boot in to /boot | 22:06 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: it's probably / .. /boot | 22:06 |
| yeboot | and have a temporary bootlable solution | 22:06 |
| rhcp | let me screen shot it | 22:06 |
| rhcp | so you can see | 22:06 |
| urlin2u | rhcp, windows has no grub control | 22:06 |
| tabakhase | u btw, ive got another wired thing: on my notebook the screen fades to black on idle, even ehwn connected to AC. wy? and how to change (powersettings say "dont dim" on AC | 22:06 |
| schnuffle | rhcp: As you will change the harddisk it will look for /boot under the wrong partiotin, that has to be correcetd | 22:06 |
| yeboot | Does anyone know the program that starts jackd automagically | 22:06 |
| yeboot | it's like a gui with a big start button, I forgot the program name | 22:06 |
| rhcp | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/217/screenshot2pk.png/ | 22:07 |

| lilcyber | urlin2u, what is the name of the program you suggested? | 22:08 |
| dr_willis | im not even sure grub2 pays attention to the bootflag at all. | 22:08 |
| joshlegs | hi all. i'm looking for a good ubuntu equivalent of MS Paintbrush. y'all know any? | 22:08 |
| rhcp | i dont even know if im using grub2 :) | 22:09 |
| rhcp | ubuntu 11.04 installed it auto | 22:09 |

| schnuffle | rhcp: my guess is: no | 22:09 |
| ke1ha | Your MBR is on /dev/sda not /dev/sda1 or at least that's how I understand MBR's | 22:09 |

| dr_willis | xfce4 - Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment | 22:12 |
| ke1ha | Yeah, what Ubotto said, one is a meta for the other :-) | 22:12 |
| urlin2u | muffin,espresso shot...etc | 22:13 |
| ke1ha | Just like Lubuntu-desktop is LXDE | 22:13 |
| Jordan_U | rhcp: Just make sure that whatever partitioning utility you nuke Windows with doesn't renumber your other partiitons. | 22:13 |
| ke1ha | lol. that could get ugly basically, DO NOT NUKE /dev/sda2 or anythign above it :-) | 22:14 |
| urlin2u | lilcyber, going for coffee see you later. ;) | 22:14 |
| lilcyber | urlin2u, a smoothie lol | 22:14 |
| quint | so xfce4 is available by default in natty? | 22:14 |
| urlin2u | no problem my treat | 22:14 |
| quint | you | 22:14 |
| dr_willis | quint, its in the repos.. yes./ | 22:14 |
| ke1ha | quint: Yeah, just install it and select at login. | 22:15 |
| lilcyber | ok Peace urlin2u | 22:15 |
| quint | oh thanks, i havent installed it yet is why i ask | 22:15 |
| quint | peace ! | 22:15 |
| ke1ha | quint: Try the Ubuntu Classic first, you may like that one, works pretty goof on my Dell D400, but LXDE and XFCE4 work allot faster. | 22:16 |

| Archstanton677 | quick question installing 11.04 natty and i have to do it in text mode what should i pick for packages to copy the graphical one | 22:17 |
| Archstanton677 | doing it via netboot | 22:17 |
| ke1ha | ubuntu-desltop xubuntu-desktop etc etc | 22:17 |
| DoYouKnow | something is wrong with my cpu speed governor in ubuntu 10.10. Are there any known issues? | 22:17 |
| ke1ha | whoops ubuntu-desktop .. use the meta packages if available. | 22:18 |
| schnuffle | Archstanton677: ubuntu-desktop will drag all necessary packages | 22:18 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, so just ubunut-desktop | 22:18 |
| DoYouKnow | ? | 22:18 |
| ke1ha | Yeah, that should work pr xubuntu-desktop for XFCE4 or lubuntu-deaktop for LXDE | 22:18 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, excellent wasnt sure | 22:18 |
| DoYouKnow | my governor isn't governing, so to speak | 22:19 |
| ke1ha | I can go look to see what ones are available, but that's the main ones, ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, kde then justy add-desktop to it. | 22:19 |
| DoYouKnow | it's stuck at a very low clock speed | 22:19 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, no thats perfect wasnt sure if i had to add anything else and also so gone-notebook and stuff | 22:20 |
| ke1ha | Archstanton677: for low resource boxes, lubuntu and xubuntu .. for normal higher end stuff, kde and ubuntu | 22:20 |
| Archstanton677 | gnome-notebook even | 22:20 |
| ke1ha | If you pull the desktop meta package, does all the work for ya. | 22:21 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, not sure what that means obviously if i could do the graphical install it would be ok but had one of those days where dvd drive was bust and various other issues | 22:22 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, think i get what your saying if you specify **-desktop your pretty safe | 22:22 |
| ke1ha | Yep, that's it. | 22:23 |
| lilcyber | How do I remove all the window managers from ubuntu? | 22:23 |
| ke1ha | ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop etc etc | 22:23 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, its crystal now | 22:23 |
| coz_ | lilcyber, what will you do withouth a window manager? | 22:24 |
| ke1ha | cool .. let us know how you end up. | 22:24 |
| lilcyber | Well all I want is unity, not kubuntu, nor xfce, nore plasma. | 22:24 |
| lilcyber | *nor | 22:24 |
| milehigh | does the stock pae kernel limi CONFIG_NR_CPUS to 7? | 22:24 |
| ke1ha | w/o window manager, sped allot of time in a terminal :-) | 22:24 |
| coz_ | lilcyber, ah I see .mm hold on let me check | 22:24 |
| lilcyber | Ok thanks. | 22:25 |
| coz_ | lilcyber, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 22:25 |

| === bleh is now known as Guest25447 | ||
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, will do nearly there not sure if it asked me this time | 22:25 |
| coz_ | lilcyber, those are rather long commands in each of those blocks ,, so be sure you copy and paste the whole command into the terminal | 22:25 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, ive been messing with the default file to chuck it straight to text mode | 22:26 |
| === Guest438 is now known as KindOne | ||
| ke1ha | Yeah, I do server installs allot, then add a desktop to them, keeps down on unwanted package bloat. | 22:27 |
| ke1ha | Then again, it's not as intuitive for other things, so bit of a trade off really. | 22:27 |
| KadirB | hi all | 22:28 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, this ones funny its a dell inspiron 510m there insnt a windows 7 graphics or wifi driver for it but works beautifully in ubuntu | 22:28 |
| KadirB | :D | 22:28 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, theres no cdrom drive in it however and my usb cable i stuck in an external drive wasnt working properly | 22:29 |
| ke1ha | Archstanton677: Well be thankfull, they've done allot of work sorting out Intel GPU's and Broadcomm Nic drivers, only in 11/.04 vcould I do a perfect install on my Dell D400. | 22:29 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, i totally am i think they have done an amazing job | 22:29 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, i remember messing with madwifi drivers and all sorts of nvidia knightmares originally | 22:30 |
| ke1ha | Ditto, Cudoz, and all the other buzz words, the D400 is my fav laptop :-) | 22:30 |
| Archstanton677 | think that was on 8 | 22:30 |
| ke1ha | Yeah, 8.04 was tricky, but it's all about development so, tings are much better now and Im sure they will continure to get better. | 22:31 |

| S4nD3r | ok | 22:33 |
| S4nD3r | DexterF, ok | 22:33 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, i dont even care that its not fast using it as thin client | 22:34 |
| DexterF | S4nD3r: in case you haven't wiped the disk yet: you can upgrade from lucid to maverick, then to natty, then to oneirc. not really much fun. | 22:34 |
| ke1ha | Yeah 5xx series were nice, I link this one cuz it's small, and lasts a good while on batts. Not high res obvioously and only 1.3ghz, but works great. | 22:34 |
| S4nD3r | DexterF, I will think about which distro to keep or install | 22:35 |
| S4nD3r | DexterF, thanks anyway | 22:35 |
| ke1ha | It's a 1.3ghz centrino, wiht 512MB ram, 1030x768 nothign special, but it just works,. | 22:35 |
| DexterF | S4nD3r: windows 7 works ok with SB ;) | 22:35 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, great stuff. theres something about keeping old kit going think im going to see how little this laptops worth | 22:36 |
| ke1ha | Acidpunk: As apposed to my workstation, Intel QX9770 @ 4.2 Ghz, 8GB RAM, Quad Nvida Graphics RAID-5 Raptors etc etc :-) | 22:36 |

| sindre368 | need help, got high cpu usage and poor flash performance. Have tried to turn of Unity and check for prosesses in system monitor with high usage, but no result. tried to google it but couldnt find a good solution | 22:37 |
| Xenophon | Anyone here using cplay? Player not found issue... | 22:37 |
| sindre368 | has worked fine with the same install on same machine earlier... | 22:37 |
| DoYouKnow | it seems to be working now. hmmm | 22:37 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, hahaha yeah not exactly a slow machine there | 22:38 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, yeah the laptop im using is worth £100 on ebay | 22:38 |
| Archstanton677 | im actually quite suprised | 22:38 |
| ke1ha | I've been looking for more D400's but people want allot for them still. | 22:39 |

| Archstanton677 | thats not bad | 22:40 |
| ke1ha | i've got a Toshiba Satellite Special Edition + an old Asus A6V I use as well, but this is my daily pounder. | 22:40 |
| sindre368 | ah some one her that can give some help please?:) | 22:40 |
| dr_willis | sindre368, sounds liek video drivers perhaps.. | 22:41 |
| ke1ha | sindre368: Disable your flash plugin and see if the cpu usgage is still high, if so, you know the problem, if not, need to track down the culprit. | 22:41 |
| sindre368 | ok... thanks you guys:) | 22:42 |
| ke1ha | dr_willis: that may be it, didn't Nvidia drivers have that issues not too long ago? | 22:42 |
| sindre368 | not nvidia some intel shit... | 22:42 |
| ke1ha | Ahh .. Intel is nto the best fer Graphics performance fer sure :-) | 22:43 |
| ke1ha | CPU, yeah good to go, GPU's not so good :-) | 22:43 |
| sindre368 | i know, just a cheap lenovo lap top so i dont have that high demands, but everything was ok just a week ago... but now its slow ass h... | 22:44 |
| ke1ha | did this happen after an update perhaps? | 22:45 |
| sindre368 | yeah i think so.. | 22:45 |
| ke1ha | with FF? | 22:45 |
| randomguy1234 | How do I set up Compiz effects and install the drivers in a virtual machine in VMWare? | 22:45 |
| sindre368 | no chrome | 22:45 |
| dr_willis | randomguy1234, normally theres some guest addations you install. | 22:45 |
| ke1ha | Chrome, that's interesting, as it has Flash built in. | 22:45 |
| sindre368 | its the same problem in ff | 22:46 |
| sindre368 | also tried classic - no effects | 22:46 |
| ke1ha | sounding more like GPU drivers than the plugin | 22:46 |
| sindre368 | ok... | 22:46 |
| randomguy1234 | dr_willis: I did that already, but none of the effects are showing up. | 22:46 |
| ke1ha | sindre368: but Im not a graphics guru at all really. | 22:46 |
| armando | now i installed irssi and am in how do i specify server?? | 22:46 |
| sindre368 | hehe.. me neither:) | 22:47 |
| pooltable | help installed mplayer 2??? | 22:47 |
| dr_willis | randomguy1234, i dont use vmware.. i do know unity is supposed to work in the latest vbox. | 22:48 |
| korst3n | hey, i have an ubuntu box that i don't know the root password of. i tried holding the shift key during the boot without success. how do i enter single user mode? | 22:48 |
| dr_willis | armando, you may want to check the irssi homepage/docs - it will take a little bit of reading/learning to use it properly. I perfer weechat over irssi these days. for a console/text based irc client. | 22:48 |
| aaas | is there a dev i can cat to test a midi port? | 22:49 |
| aaas | on 11.04 | 22:49 |
| cheshirelad31 | hello all | 22:49 |
| armando | ty dr. | 22:49 |
| sindre368 | one question: in system monitor in the colum called nice, it says -11 for pulse audio... ??? | 22:50 |
| escott | !help | pooltable | 22:50 |
| ubottu | pooltable: 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. :-) | 22:50 |
| randomguy1234 | dr_willis: I'll just use VMWare's Easy Install option. thnx, anyway. | 22:50 |
| ke1ha | aaas: in terminal: aplaymidi -l | 22:50 |
| aaas | sindre368: what's your question? did you mess around with nice | 22:51 |
| escott | aaas, few soundcards have hardware midi these days, but if yours does it would be /dev/snd/midi or the like | 22:51 |
| ke1ha | that should list the K-modules if they are installed, if not, gonna take more work. | 22:51 |
| aaas | ke1ha: two ports but can i test actual input somehow? | 22:51 |
| escott | sindre368, it runs at a higher priority to keep the sound from skipping | 22:52 |
| aaas | escott: and if i dont have that, it's a bad sign (yes mine has professional midi input) | 22:52 |
| sindre368 | escott: thanks... | 22:52 |
| ke1ha | aaas: Ahh, have to look that one up . not sure abt testing input/output | 22:52 |
| aaas | ah i have /dev/snd/midiC1D0 | 22:53 |
| escott | aaas, i would check the alsa website | 22:53 |
| aaas | but if I cat it and play my keyboard, nothing happens...i should get garbage on the screen right? | 22:53 |
| ke1ha | aaas: Have a look here, there's a few diff test setups: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/HardwareSynthesisSetup | 22:53 |
| escott | aaas, it may not be input. it could be output | 22:53 |
| ke1ha | :-) I guess what goes in, must come out is not the same as what goes up much come down :-) | 22:55 |
| tabakhase | what ever the heck ive done, seems like he stoped fading to black on AC =) | 22:59 |
| ke1ha | rhcp: Hey, how did the Nuke /dev/sda1 go, things still working? | 23:02 |
| tase | How would I make Linux (Ubuntu/Debian) run a command during boot (before login), like "echo $TIME >> somefile" or "someapp 192.168.1.1" ? | 23:03 |
| escott | tase, /etc/rc.local | 23:04 |
| ke1ha | yep that's the easy way fer sure. | 23:06 |
| tase | escott, will it execute once on boot ? | 23:06 |
| ke1ha | What are you after, the time the system boots / reboots ? | 23:06 |
| tase | or on user login | 23:06 |
| tase | yea each time the system boots, it's to connect synergy, a keyboard/mouse sharing application | 23:07 |
| tase | i would like for it to start on boot, so i can use the remote keyboard/mouse to login | 23:07 |
| jdrl | what about making a cron job? | 23:07 |
| ke1ha | make it an upstart job then it will presist. | 23:08 |
| tase | i tried making upstart stuff, didn't work, documentation was crap | 23:10 |
| tase | about ubuntu 6.10 | 23:10 |
| tase | maybe my google query is no good | 23:10 |

| ke1ha | Is that what you looked at? | 23:11 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, thanks that install worked a treat. pxe using tftpd really quite easy | 23:12 |
| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, just selected ubuntu-desktop | 23:12 |
| ke1ha | Archstanton677: Cool glad is working. I use / the tftpd on the Edubuntu Distro's, jsut to test releases and thigns for schools. | 23:12 |
| ke1ha | Archstanton677: It can take a while to download things, but generally works out best to use the meta packages like that. | 23:13 |
| froq | anyone here use Eclipse sdk? | 23:13 |

| Archstanton677 | ke1ha, thanks for your help | 23:14 |
| froq | okay, I am using eclipse SDK and I want to use the G++ compiler, but that is not a option in the toolchain. | 23:14 |
| tabakhase | cool, using alternate i cant even select a option in the first splash (exept "advanced->recover")?.. | 23:14 |
| ke1ha | froq: G++ or C++? | 23:15 |
| froq | kelha well the c++ compiler is g++ when you run it in terminal | 23:15 |
| ke1ha | froq: I set one of the up for my other half, she does Android Apps, and Im sure she wanted C++ too .. looking through my notes. | 23:16 |

| Frekk | aaas: no, the driver is downloaded from Ralink's website directly | 23:25 |
| Frekk | aaas: (either a .deb-file or an archive - ownloaded over http) | 23:26 |
| aaas | Frekk: well i think it's one of two things: a fault of their programing, your setup, you missing a package | 23:26 |

| Frekk | ke1ha: one second, let me find it. I've tried stuff from multiple sources, but they're quite similar I guess | 23:31 |
| ke1ha | LOL I know how that is fer sure. | 23:31 |
| aaas | Frekk: so you had it working on 10.10? | 23:32 |
| ke1ha | skegeek: Old thread but looks like it does according to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25722 | 23:32 |
| Frekk | instructions which I'm sure reprouduces my error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476007 | 23:33 |
| rcconf | hello | 23:33 |
| Frekk | aaas: yep (10.04), but at some point I'm not sure, it stopped working | 23:34 |
| Frekk | I found my old laptop again today, and started working on it | 23:34 |
| rcconf | I can connect to a VPN using nm-applet but I cannot ping. I use sudo openvpn some.conf it works | 23:34 |
| rcconf | why is nm-applet buggy with VPN using UDP protocol | 23:34 |
| Frekk | iwconfig only outputs lo and eth0 (I miss my wlan0!!!) | 23:34 |
| Frekk | so I figured it was best to update to natty anyways, but same problem | 23:34 |
| aaas | Frekk: did you try the blacklist method they are talking about | 23:34 |
| Frekk | but I'm certain it has worked in 10.04 at one point | 23:34 |
| aaas | (different thread) | 23:35 |
| === optimus_ is now known as m1h0 | ||
| Frekk | aaas: no, that's the only thing I've come over I havent tried | 23:35 |
| ke1ha | rcconf: Why is it buggy, that's going to be hard for anyone here to answer. | 23:35 |
| bjpenn | how do i make fetchmail start up as a daemon everytime i boot up the server? | 23:35 |
| Frekk | but can I blacklist it if it's not even installed? (as far as I can tell, the driver is not even installing right?) | 23:35 |
| aaas | Frekk: what if you do 'modprobe rt2x00' | 23:35 |
| rcconf | ke1ha: it works with openvpn | 23:35 |
| ke1ha | Frekk: That's what I was gonna ask as well, what modules are blacklisted, especially after an upgrade. | 23:36 |
| rcconf | but not with nm-applet. | 23:36 |
| aaas | Frekk: is that chipset not supported | 23:36 |
| === Evixion` is now known as Evixion | ||
| rcconf | ke1ha: i think it only gets buggy with UDP protocol | 23:36 |
| riddler | how do I access an encrypted bitlocker partition, is there a driver or linux software? | 23:36 |
| ke1ha | rcconf: You may be right, you may want to go to launchpad and wite it up as a bug. | 23:36 |
| Wipster | blip | 23:36 |
| Frekk | aaas: FATAL: Module rt2x00 not found. | 23:37 |
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||
| ke1ha | somehow it's not doing the make & make install of the module correctly. | 23:37 |
| aaas | Frekk: and 'lsmod | grep rt' (you might need to paste it elsewhere) | 23:37 |
| ke1ha | or the modprobe is not doing it's job correctly. | 23:37 |
| aaas | Frekk: well is there any 'rt' drivers i guess is what im curious about | 23:38 |
| Frekk | aaas: http://pastebin.com/5HTUNwQS | 23:39 |
| Frekk | now it is! Wasn't tere earlier | 23:39 |
| Frekk | *there | 23:39 |
| dave | hello all | 23:39 |
| === dave is now known as Guest90528 | ||
| Frekk | after fresh install, I just got the two last lines | 23:39 |
| aaas | Frekk: but ifconfig -a still has no wlan? | 23:39 |
| TYDIRocks | Hello I have a quick question, to get a higher screen resolution than 1024x768 do I need to install drivers? | 23:40 |
| Frekk | aaas: also correct (unfortunately) | 23:40 |
| Frekk | aaas: just lo and eth0 as always | 23:40 |
| aaas | Frekk: open another terminal and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' then try 'sudo rmmod rt2860sta' followed by 'sudo modprobe rt2860sta' | 23:41 |
| aaas | Frekk: then post the output | 23:41 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Normally, no, but depends on your graphics setup. | 23:41 |
| Frekk | aaas: will do, thanks for your help so far :) | 23:41 |
| aaas | Frekk: np | 23:41 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, hey again :P But how do I get it higher then what is allowed in the preferences? | 23:42 |
| apo__ | #francophone | 23:42 |
| ke1ha | This in your Virtual Box setup? | 23:42 |
| TYDIRocks | Yes | 23:42 |
| ke1ha | Check you setting on the Virtualbox first, enable 2d/3d and allow for Vidio RAM etc etc. | 23:43 |
| ke1ha | If your Main Box has Low end Graphics, you can do much about that. | 23:44 |
| TYDIRocks | well I have a radeon HD 6950 :P | 23:44 |
| ke1ha | Well that's not an issue then :-) | 23:44 |
| ke1ha | Check the Vbox settings first. | 23:44 |
| NbIrc | Hello, where in the irc world may I ask thunderbird setup questions? thnx | 23:45 |
| ASK|Lag|T3B | does anybody know how to remove password from rar? Using 10.04 BTW | 23:45 |
| ke1ha | then, it after that, it may be an issues of enabling restricted drivers within Ubuntu, but I use Nvidia, not ATI so will need to ask the ATI guru's on that one. | 23:45 |
| Frekk | aaas: http://pastebin.com/gcHwF9TV ( ke1ha ) | 23:45 |
| TYDIRocks | ke1ha, should I increase the video memory, enable 3D acceleration and enabled 2D video acceleration? | 23:46 |
| mrudang | ASK|Lag|T3B, unless it's your rar file I'm not sure of any way except for knowing the password | 23:46 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Yes, that's what I'd do first. | 23:46 |
| tabakhase | unable to boot by usb whatever im doing... desktop same as alternate... also text / init=/sbin/init --debug give annything more than "black screen" | 23:46 |
| tabakhase | im not even sure if system not starting, or just me not seeing.. | 23:46 |
| ke1ha | Frekk: That's vert odd that it modprobes, then it can't find the module. | 23:47 |
| TYDIRocks | it says "On the Display page, you have 2D Video acceleration enabled. As 2D video acceleration is supported for Windows guests only, this feature will be disabled. | 23:47 |
| aaas | Frekk: well that wasnt that fruitful because it didnt remove the module | 23:47 |
| aaas | Frekk: try modprobe -r rt2860sta | 23:47 |
| aaas | frekk: (i think that's it) | 23:47 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Enable 3D and increase the GPU memopry a bit. | 23:47 |
| TYDIRocks | do you think 60 mb is enough? | 23:48 |
| Frekk | aaas: no output, no wireless :/ | 23:48 |
| ke1ha | No, 128 / 256 / 512 somethign like that. | 23:48 |
| aaas | Frekk: rrrr..there should be a way to remove that module I just dont remember how | 23:49 |
| aaas | Frekk: one sec | 23:49 |
| Frekk | aaas: of course :) | 23:50 |
| TYDIRocks | umm...I got an error | 23:51 |
| TYDIRocks | wait nvm | 23:51 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: ok :-) | 23:51 |
| TYDIRocks | fuck | 23:51 |
| ke1ha | Frekk: that should ahve worked sudo modprobe -r rt28* | 23:51 |
| TYDIRocks | It's asking my to install?! | 23:51 |
| llvllatrix | Hi all. Off topic, but I figured this would be a good place to ask. I'm currently trying to develop a career plan, and was wondering; what sorts of experiences have you all had? What kind of advice would you give? | 23:51 |
| bazhang | TYDIRocks, no cursing here | 23:51 |
| TYDIRocks | sorry | 23:51 |
| TYDIRocks | :| | 23:51 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: sorry what's it askign you to install ? | 23:52 |
| TYDIRocks | Ubuntu | 23:52 |
| Frekk | ke1ha: FATAL: Module rt2860_source_1.8.0.0_3_all.deb not found. | 23:52 |
| TYDIRocks | It's asking me to either try it or install it | 23:52 |
| Frekk | ke1ha: that was the .deb I downloaded from debian.org ( aaas ) | 23:52 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: That's becsue you still have the ISO CD in the drive. | 23:52 |
| aaas | Frekk: try sudo depmod -a | 23:53 |
| aaas | Frekk: what does it say | 23:53 |
| TYDIRocks | Oh | 23:53 |
| thunsucker | llvllatrix: awww those career plans, work hard, research a lot, and drink often | 23:53 |
| TYDIRocks | How do I remove it? | 23:53 |
| scott__ | how do i mount a specific folder from my windowws ntfs partition into ubuntu; ie mapping documents into windows documents folder, downloads to downloads, etc | 23:53 |
| TYDIRocks | Uncheck it and restart./ | 23:53 |
| TYDIRocks | ? | 23:53 |
| hack27 | i need a lil help,and wat would like to know the root of the problem | 23:53 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Remove the CD or change the Boot Order in Virtualbox on the UBuntu Virtual machine. | 23:53 |
| Frekk | aaas: it thought for a few secs, then said .... nothing :( | 23:53 |
| hack27 | my monitor says "no signal" | 23:53 |
| aaas | Frekk: ok now try rmmod | 23:53 |
| thunsucker | llvllatrix: check private message | 23:54 |
| hack27 | so i switch power supply and nothing,swicth ram and nothing | 23:54 |
| Frekk | aaas: sudo rmmod 2860sta, aye? | 23:54 |
| aaas | Frekk: yes also try modprobe to see if anything different happens | 23:54 |
| hack27 | is not the battery | 23:54 |
| thunsucker | hack27: you haven't even said whats wrong with the box | 23:55 |
| hack27 | could be the motherboard is failing? since the pc was purchase refurbish | 23:55 |
| schnuffle | hack27: do you get a beep when you switch it on? | 23:55 |
| NbIrc | For Thunderbird setup info I tried unsuccessfully to connect to irc.mozilla.org, but maybe the NEW B is doing it wrong. Help? | 23:55 |
| hack27 | beep | 23:55 |
| hack27 | no | 23:55 |
| TYDIRocks | Okay I don't see anything different in the monitor preferences | 23:55 |
| Frekk | aaas: 1. I got the rt2860 does not exist in /proc/modules (same as the pastebin from earlier). 2. which of the modprobe's? :P | 23:56 |
| DrArcheh | any clue why my reiserfs filesystem would have a limit of 1000000 inodes? | 23:56 |
| schnuffle | hack27: normally after initializing you get a short beep to signal everything is okay. Of course the beeper has to be present | 23:56 |
| scott__ | nope | 23:56 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: Ok, where did you go to set them System >> Admin or >> Prefrendces? | 23:56 |
| hack27 | i disconnected all the wires and put it back on and now is on and running | 23:56 |
| scott__ | i dont use reiserfs anyway though | 23:56 |
| TYDIRocks | System>Preferences | 23:56 |
| aaas | Frekk: 'sudo modprobe rt2860' | 23:56 |
| hack27 | sometimes this happend when i put the pc to sleep or hibernate | 23:57 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: You may need to enable a Restricted Driver, but on that part, especially qwith ATI, Im not the guru for that one. | 23:57 |
| TYDIRocks | hmm ok | 23:57 |
| tabakhase | interessting... also when booting windows it fails to "same black screen" =( | 23:57 |
| stuffed-crust | ok guru's, how do i compress 403gb to 120gb! | 23:57 |
| Frekk | aaas: no output | 23:57 |
| ke1ha | TYDIRocks: If your not seeing any options for a res greater than 1024x768 .. changes are your in Low Graphics mode, but Im not 100% certain. | 23:58 |
| aaas | Frekk: what version of the driver are you using? | 23:58 |
| Frekk | aaas: not the sudo modprobe -r rt2860, either if that matters | 23:58 |
| scott__ | try b archiver | 23:58 |
| Frekk | aaas: 2.4.0.0 | 23:58 |
| ke1ha | stuffed-crust: depends, if it's mostly Binary files, your not gonna make it. | 23:58 |
| aaas | Frekk: hold on let me try it on my system real fast...the compile | 23:59 |
| Frekk | aaas: well, hang on. I'm not sure about the details of the .deb (which I think is the one that is installed on the system) | 23:59 |
| stuffed-crust | kelha : not sure what you mean by binary | 23:59 |
| ke1ha | stuffed-crust: However, if its mostly test based Files, use max compression, and you stand a good chance. | 23:59 |
| ke1ha | whoops, text base .. .. .. | 23:59 |
| stuffed-crust | kelsin: ahh yeah its binary | 23:59 |
| Frekk | aaas: .deb is from here - http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/r/rt2860-source/rt2860-source_1.8.0.0-3_all.deb | 23:59 |
| TYDIRocks | How do I change from low gfx mode? | 23:59 |
