| zykotick9 | Richiie, what graphics card are you using? "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal if you aren't sure. | 00:02 |
| jaispida | hi | 00:02 |
| Richiie | zykotick9: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R430 [Radeon X800 XL] (PCIe) | 00:02 |
| Richiie | Saphire radeon X800XL all i want to do is to revert back to the default ubuntu drivers, the open source ones that comes when i installed my ubuntu 10.04 | 00:03 |
| exutux | arquebus: ctrl+L for show you path in address bar in nautilus | 00:03 |
| Gentoo64 | Richiie, can you not do hat from the driver manager | 00:03 |
| Richiie | Gentoo64: nope, there is no drivers propieraty that works for my card.. | 00:04 |
| Richiie | i tried to install latest possible drivers by following this one sec, | 00:04 |
| Gentoo64 | what are you using then? | 00:04 |
| arquebus | exutux- ok, thanks, good to know, although I just set the address bar to text permanently | 00:04 |
| Richiie | Gentoo64: well now i think its vesa.. | 00:05 |
| Richiie | Gentoo64: getting that stupid prompt when i start my Linux "Ubuntu is running in low graphic mode" | 00:05 |
| Richiie | Gentoo64: i followed this okay.. | 00:06 |
| Richiie | Gentoo64: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#Ubuntu_X_Team.27s_PPA | 00:06 |
| Richiie | the thing was that those drivers didnt work as i wanted to.. the catalyst control center wouldnt start | 00:06 |
| Richiie | i got an error telling me "no properly ATI card found" and i was like hey wtf | 00:06 |
| Richiie | so i removed the PPA repository list, and i really just want to revert back to the original open source 10.04 drivers that came when i installed my system | 00:07 |
| dawid | hi | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | can you not apt-get remove fglrx | 00:07 |
| Gentoo64 | or whatever it is | 00:07 |

| triplc | how to install menumaker ? i read that i should install "menumaker" to create proper menu for openbox, but i do not know which package to install to get menumaker (apt-get install menumaker does not work( | 00:08 |

| Gentoo64 | triplc, i googled it and seems thats the only way | 00:11 |

| Gasseus | veetle? | 00:22 |
| Gasseus | paulo this is not the appropriate place to ask about veetle. The appropriate place would probably be veetle customer support | 00:23 |
| paulo | them wen I initialize the pc I have a message: "Could not update ICE authority file | 00:23 |
| paulo | with a buton of close. i press enter and the pc initializes but I dont have sound control | 00:24 |
| paulo | does any one now a solution to this | 00:25 |
| paulo | my problem is not with veetle itself. I would prefer to unistall it if my problem would be solved | 00:25 |
| Gasseus | in terminal, cd ~ | 00:26 |
| Gasseus | then "sudo chown username:username .ICEauthority" | 00:26 |

| paulo | ok | 00:28 |

| Benkinooby | Guest14050: follow this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting to fix your sond card | 01:12 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: that website will tell you | 01:13 |
| zykotick9 | aaas, there is a MS Windows xchat yes | 01:13 |
| willwh | aaas: there is an xchat2 open source build..... | 01:13 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: if you followed it and it didn't help report back to me | 01:13 |
| willwh | http://www.silverex.org/download/ | 01:13 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: are you using gnome? | 01:13 |
| aaas | is that what you all are using (zykotick9, willwh) | 01:13 |
| xKrisx | xubuntu | 01:13 |
| willwh | no, a) I'm running xubuntu - and b) my IRC session is using screen/irssi on my remote server :) | 01:14 |
| zykotick9 | aaas, i haven't used any MS OS in close to 10 years. But i use xchat on gnu/linux yes. | 01:14 |
| Guest14050 | ergggg all i want is sound | 01:14 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: go to "about" of the manager and tell me its name | 01:14 |
| aaas | nice! and thanks for being so nice.... god you go into any channel and ask anything even slightly off topic and the freaking mods want to eat you alive | 01:15 |
| aaas | everyone is using a freaken irc client on this server, but god forbid i ask for a recommendation when the channel is called #css | 01:15 |
| xKrisx | Xfce | 01:15 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: that is not a filebrowser... is ther a help section in the file browser? go there and find out the name of the file browser | 01:16 |
| willwh | aaas: what?! | 01:16 |
| willwh | oh,I see your previous comment aaas :) | 01:16 |
| Guest14050 | Benkinooby, you still there? | 01:17 |
| aaas | willwh: haha | 01:17 |
| willwh | I would highly recommend irssi :) | 01:17 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: yes... | 01:17 |
| willwh | aaas: one sec let me dig up a link for you | 01:17 |
| xKrisx | oh the file browser my bad | 01:17 |
| aaas | willwh: does it make a sound when your name comes up? | 01:17 |
| zykotick9 | aaas, FYI irssi is a command line IRC client | 01:17 |
| willwh | aaas: pretty much every client out there does beep on hilight | 01:18 |
| dasddsa | So no one has heard of any recent problems with pppd in 11.04? This was working a couple of weeks ago. | 01:18 |
| willwh | aaas: if you're looking for a good local client- definitely use Xchat | 01:18 |
| aaas | willwh: not hydrairc as far as i can tell...i was loving it too, it was open and a lot of nice features | 01:18 |
| willwh | it's great | 01:18 |
| xKrisx | Thunar 1.2.1 | 01:18 |
| willwh | aaas: you're on windows? | 01:18 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: see, i am no wizard so i have no magic bowl that tells me what's wrong with your computer. follow that site i sent you. if you have troubles following it or understanding it i am there.... but i am not your mommy and will not read the site for you | 01:18 |
| aaas | willwh yes | 01:18 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: ok | 01:18 |
| Arcademan | Is there a way to gen a installed list into a text doc so I might be able to just use the terminal and install the packages to anther comp. | 01:18 |
| zykotick9 | !clone | Arcademan | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Arcademan: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 01:18 |
| willwh | aaas: that xchat2 link I provided you would be a good plan :] | 01:19 |
| Guest14050 | sorry for all the questions but i used wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh and im not shure what this means but i thught it mught be of some help | 01:19 |
| Guest14050 | http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d665a9d1fda9661d81d99a8666b0a733bddf1fc8 | 01:19 |
| aaas | willwh: why not irssi? | 01:19 |
| aaas | aaas: i need console i guess? | 01:19 |
| aaas | oops: willwh | 01:20 |
| willwh | aaas: no there is a windows build.... but I wouldn't recommend iton windows:] | 01:20 |
| === dvz- is now known as Guest47198 | ||
| aaas | willwh: ah ok | 01:20 |
| willwh | I have an old pc in my basement - it runs 24/7 and runs my irc / webserver etc etc etc | 01:20 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: wow! see what google found for me when entering "Thunar open mount" http://thunar.xfce.org/documentation/C/using-removable-media.html | 01:20 |
| willwh | soI always connect to my irssi/screen session that runs on there | 01:21 |
| willwh | aaas: butif you are working in windows - I think xchat2 is just fine - it will let you do everything you need | 01:21 |
| Guest14050 | was that any help? | 01:21 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: one sec, i am reading it | 01:21 |
| Guest14050 | allrighty | 01:21 |
| aaas | willwh: yep, i use windows for my workstation but ubuntu for my server (apache, samba, backuppc, nx, etc...) | 01:21 |
| aaas | willwh: cool, I feel as if i'm not using a client to make the best experience | 01:22 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: btw... it is ok to ask questions :) but "ahhh i want sound" is not very helpful ;) | 01:22 |
| aaas | willwh: for example it's annoying i ahve to retype your name each time, there must be a shortcut for that | 01:22 |
| dr_willis | !tab | 01:23 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:23 |
| aaas | willwh: I'm just such an irc newbie | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | tab key is our friend. | 01:23 |
| aaas | dr_willis: ha! i knew it | 01:23 |
| dr_willis | try it on the command line also... | 01:23 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: is that from your computer? | 01:23 |
| Sebo | where can I find some info about /etc/init/* scripts? | 01:23 |
| aaas | dr_willis oh i know that one | 01:23 |
| xKrisx | Benkinooby: where in there is suppose to help me with this problem? | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | Sebo, at the upstart homepage/docs. I got some neat links on upstart at http://delicious.com/dr_willis | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | Sebo, the upstart cookbook/tips url is very handy | 01:24 |
| aaas | dr_willis: is there a way to get the name of the person you were just talking to? | 01:24 |
| aaas | dr_willis: like ".." in ubuntu for the last used directory | 01:24 |
| dr_willis | aaas, that would be irc client dependent.. | 01:25 |
| Lasers | aaas: Press up? (Not exactly the same -- but it shows the last line) | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | aaas, never seen a nick completion shortcit like that in any of them | 01:25 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: you want to disable "Browse removable media when inserted" | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | differnt irc clients handle tab differntly. | 01:25 |
| aaas | Lasers: yeah i guess up arrow and ctrl arrows and backspace is much faster | 01:25 |
| Guesst1337 | hello | 01:25 |
| xKrisx | alright. | 01:25 |
| Guest14050 | ya sorry i went to the restroom | 01:25 |
| dr_willis | or just hit tab a few times till the right nick shows up. | 01:25 |
| xKrisx | thank you Benkinooby | 01:25 |
| Guest14050 | thats from my computer | 01:26 |
| foxwolfblood | Guesst1337: nice nick | 01:26 |
| aaas | dr_wills: but it's hard when there are lots of people, right? | 01:26 |
| Guesst1337 | foxwolfblood: thank you | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | aaas, tahts why you normally type the first letter or 2 then hit tab.... | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | aaas, FYI "cd .." just takes you to the parent directory, "cd -" actually takes you BACK to last directory | 01:26 |
| dr_willis | also why nicks that begin with _ or other weirdness are sort of frowned on. | 01:26 |
| Guesst1337 | foxwolfblood: i just got it tho, i didnt make it | 01:26 |
| aaas | zykotick9: yes that's what i mean | 01:27 |
| aaas | dr_willis ah i see | 01:27 |
| willwh | aaas: I just readback - if you use ubuntu server - use screen & irssi | 01:27 |
| willwh | and just connect to your server to IRC, via putty :D | 01:27 |
| foxwolfblood | tmux! | 01:27 |
| Guesst1337 | so i was wondering if i can get the itune to work in the ubuntu | 01:27 |
| willwh | that is what I do, it's the best way to IRC - you never miss anything:D | 01:27 |
| Lasers | zykotick9: Cool trick! Thanks. :) | 01:27 |
| dr_willis | willwh, i tend to use weechat, and znc :) | 01:28 |
| Guesst1337 | im running the 11.04 version | 01:28 |
| willwh | dr_willis: :P | 01:28 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: hm, looks ok to me | 01:28 |
| willwh | aaas: quassel is pretty nice too - if you like a GUI. | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | willwh, znc takes itto the next level of spiffyness. | 01:28 |
| linuxnja | Guesst1337: why would yoou want to use iTunes? it sucks anyway | 01:28 |
| aaas | willwh: I used to use screen for some server/computing work i was doing...you must be a purist...I probably use the gui more often | 01:28 |
| dr_willis | quassel has so many features.. its scary. | 01:28 |
| Guesst1337 | linuxnja: i use the ipod touch for my music and i would like ot use it on the ubuntu | 01:28 |
| Guest14050 | Benkinooby: if it looks ok then why do i not have sound | 01:28 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: use this command "find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd" | 01:28 |
| willwh | aaas: not a purist - I just ssh from phones / tablets etc, I needed something truely cross platform ;) | 01:28 |
| overclucker | reattaching to channels, and channel playback are my fav features | 01:29 |
| willwh | aaas: take a look at installing quassel on your server | 01:29 |
| willwh | and quassel clien ton your pc's | 01:29 |
| aaas | willwh: rdp/nx are pretty cross platform | 01:29 |
| willwh | the cient is written in QT | 01:29 |
| dr_willis | willwh, i do the android -> znc server on my homebox via dyndns --> get here.. routine. :) | 01:29 |
| linuxnja | Guesst1337: apple sucks anyway, ubuntu is trying to copy everything apple does | 01:29 |
| willwh | dr_willis: home.willskills.com;] | 01:29 |
| Guest14050 | Benkinooby: then what? | 01:29 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: only because it looks ok it doens have to be ok...from reading that file, i think all you need to run is installed... so it seems to be more of a confiuration problem | 01:29 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: is ther output? | 01:29 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: is there output? | 01:29 |
| willwh | dd-wrt on the router..... cname for home. -> my noip :D | 01:29 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: any news? | 01:30 |
| Pat201 | can someone help me out, im trying to install tar.bz2 files | 01:30 |
| foxwolfblood | linuxnja: i agree. i havent liked the stuff comming out of canonical for a while | 01:30 |
| dr_willis | Pat201, extract them.. read their instal docs... what are in the files exactly? | 01:30 |
| linuxnja | Pat201: you don't "install" an archive... | 01:30 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: did it work? | 01:30 |
| xKrisx | kind of | 01:30 |
| Guesst1337 | linuxnja: but i am afraid of the terminal, and ubuntu is better then the windows im running. windows 2003 if im correct | 01:30 |
| linuxnja | foxwolfblood: yeah, and it's because of people lie Guesst1337 | 01:30 |
| Benkinooby | xKrisx: why kind of? | 01:30 |
| xKrisx | it keeps on remounting the cd part of the usb | 01:30 |
| foxwolfblood | linuxnja: :( | 01:31 |
| dr_willis | Guesst1337, just get over it and dive into the terminal and learn it.. its a skill that will serve you for the next 10+ years... | 01:31 |
| xKrisx | i could stop automounting too though | 01:31 |
| AnonMacPro | hey | 01:31 |
| linuxnja | Guesst1337: LOL wtf is windows 2003? how can you be afraid of a terminal anyway...it's text on a screen | 01:31 |
| Guest14050 | it came up with alot of /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/kernel/sound but none of them have the word "output | 01:31 |
| Guest14050 | " | 01:31 |
| overclucker | 2003 is a server edition | 01:32 |
| Guesst1337 | linuxnja: windows 2003 is the version im running because thats what version of the word i have on this computer | 01:32 |
| AnonMacPro | Mac OS X Lion!!! | 01:32 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: ok, that is a good sign | 01:32 |
| zykotick9 | !ot > AnonMacPro | 01:32 |
| ubottu | AnonMacPro, please see my private message | 01:32 |
| linuxnja | OS X sucks, especially Lion..what a rip off of gnome 3 | 01:32 |
| Benkinooby | Guest14050: now do "lspci -v | less" | 01:32 |
| foxwolfblood | linuxnja: ikr | 01:32 |
| linuxnja | besides OS X is slow..like realy slow | 01:33 |
| foxwolfblood | and gnome3 sucks too | 01:33 |
| Pat201 | i extracted them looks to be a whole bunch of .deb packages | 01:33 |
| S4nD3r | I tried to remove a module, but was impossible | 01:33 |
| Benkinooby | foxwolfblood: what gui do you use? | 01:33 |
| foxwolfblood | Benkinooby: none | 01:33 |
| foxwolfblood | Benkinooby: i use the tty | 01:33 |
| S4nD3r | sudo modprobe -r i915 | 01:33 |
| S4nD3r | FATAL: Module i915 is in use. | 01:33 |
| Guesst1337 | foxwolfblood: my friend who lives in spain with me told me that anyone with a animal in their name is this furry, is that true? | 01:33 |
| aaas | dr_willis, you know what serves you for life: knowing how to program--and im not a programmer, but its such a great skill | 01:33 |
| foxwolfblood | Guesst1337: no that is not | 01:33 |
| S4nD3r | how to do ? | 01:33 |
| scott__ | does anyone know why i can't get windows to install after i installed ubuntu and windows is messed up? | 01:33 |
| Guesst1337 | foxwolfblood: then what is the furry? | 01:34 |
| foxwolfblood | scott__: yea because you messed up windows. | 01:34 |
| linuxnja | scott__: because windows will overwrite grub | 01:34 |
| linuxnja | foxwolfblood: lol he probably resized the partition from the ubuntu installer and screwed up his MFT :P | 01:34 |
| Guesst1337 | i still need to know how i can use my idop touch | 01:34 |
| Guesst1337 | ipod | 01:34 |

| agike | Hi, When installing Debian 6.0 and/or Ubuntu WattOS2 on my other partition I keep getting the GRUB msg "error: no such device: e93e [...], Entering rescue mode .. grub rescue>". Sourceforge tells me it is because grug.cfg contains "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set e933[...]", and that the solution is "sudo abiword /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib" to comment out the last three lines of the paragraph including UUID. I have done that on Wa | 01:53 |
| agike | ttOS2 and Deb6 drives, but on trying 'sudo update-grub2' I keep getting "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: cannot find device for / (is dev mounted ?)". I have run out of ideas and cannot boot into the drive containing details of high-priority current projects. Any ideas ? | 01:53 |
| szal | Pb__: in my experience, "good" and "OCR" are mutually exclusive | 01:53 |
| FloodBot1 | agike: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:54 |
| agike | Apologies. | 01:54 |

| agike | yep | 01:54 |

| IdleOne | neither of those OS'es are supported in this channel. Also, I never heard of WattOS2 | 01:55 |
| szal | that's what I thought | 01:55 |
| IdleOne | agike: perhaps try in #debian | 01:55 |

| IdleOne | agike: I understand but still not an official derivative. Please try their support channel if they have one. | 01:58 |
| w30 | szal, my best ocr work comes from doing very high resolution scans to start with. | 01:58 |
| hanasaki | zykotick9: thanks... what does that style? is it gnome and theme or a special program | 01:58 |
| hanasaki | ? | 01:58 |
| w30 | szal, otherwise it might as well be Pig Latin. | 01:59 |
| zykotick9 | hanasaki, it's certainly more then just a theme | 01:59 |

| ActionParsnip | Silentmyst: is the file stored on an NTFS partition by any remote chance? | 03:11 |
| Silentmyst | yes | 03:11 |
| Silentmyst | i can move it back and forth | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Silentmyst: You cannot run your windows apps on your dual boot system using Wine, it simply won't run | 03:12 |
| Silentmyst | i do it with alot of things | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Silentmyst: you will need to remount your NTFS as setting ALL files as executable so that they are set. NTFS is too primitive to hold Linux file permissions | 03:12 |

| Silentmyst | thats why i put it on my ntfs partition cause i can run things in wine off my ntfs partition and then when im in widows i just run it | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Silentmyst: Unless the app is very portable it won't work. Apps need registry keys and file in the windows dir to run, otherwise they could be pirated so easily | 03:13 |
| hermes | bazhang: is that what everone is telling me to show? | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Silentmyst: you will need to remount the NTFS and make it mount so that all files are executable | 03:14 |

| tightwork | person: should be able to find the corresponding initramfs from /boot/ | 03:15 |
| Silentmyst | but... i'll move it and to linux partition and see if i can enable exe and run w/wine | 03:15 |
| Ubuntu | noneabove1182: 11.04 fixed my hd5770 | 03:15 |
| Silentmyst | or remount | 03:15 |
| Silentmyst | thx | 03:15 |
| agike | w30: no probs, enjoy. | 03:16 |
| noneabove1182 | Ubuntu weird cause with 11.04 i got black screen majority of times with my HD 6770M i think it is | 03:16 |
| Ubuntu | noneabove1182: is hd 6770M evergreen model? | 03:17 |
| noneabove1182 | Ubuntu in some previous errors that i got with WUBI before installing with liveCD i remember seeing something about evergreen | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: try the boot option: nomodeset | 03:18 |
| person | Tried this kvm -kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-10-generic -append "console=ttyS0" -nographic and got a bunch of file not found errors, then it puts me into BusyBox | 03:19 |
| ram0042 | I had ubuntu as my username. I thought it was the channel | 03:19 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip i already had but it didnt always work, either way i had to completely wipe my laptop because ubuntu ruined my windows partition | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: ok | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: could also try using safe VGA until you get the proprietary driver in | 03:19 |
| triplc | hi all | 03:20 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip to be honest, im not entirely sure what that means... haha | 03:20 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip will my graphics card be more likely to work with 11.04 or 10.10 ? | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: there is a bootoption doc online, your video card may not like the open driver on the cd so you can force it to use vesa and get sorted | 03:21 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: not sure I dont use ati stuff | 03:21 |
| triplc | please suggest a battery monitor. i just install a slim (no gnome) ubuntu 10.04 but do not know what application for displaying/monitoring the battery. i installed "ibam" (as read from google) but when run, it say "no apm data available". maybe ibam is not ... please recommend an battery mon | 03:21 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip can you direct me to a site of where to learn about that ? | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | triplc: could use a gdesklet | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | noneabove1182 why don't you try websearching YOURSEFL some? | 03:22 |
| ubottu | noneabove1182 why don't you try websearching YOURSEFL some?: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 03:22 |
| dangbarry | triplc, or a system tray such as trayer gnome-power-manager | 03:23 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip i just asked i could have myself but if you knew where to find it it would just save time... | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | noneabove1182: the link has the details | 03:24 |
| Hermies | ActionParsnip: since your active could you help me after? | 03:24 |
| noneabove1182 | ActionParsnip thanks | 03:25 |
| triplc | ok thanks | 03:25 |
| triplc | hm... | 03:26 |

| blacksunseven | Hi all; I've just installed the proprietary drivers for my onboard ATI card in 10.04 and, upon reboot, now get a black screen. what do? | 03:28 |
| propman | !nomodeset | 03:31 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:31 |
| dangbarry | hermies: your using the same card as I. here is my alsa.conf http://pastebin.com/6ReuKnbV | 03:32 |
| blacksunseven | propman, alright, i'm trying that, restarting now | 03:33 |
| dangbarry | hermies, save that into home folder then run a diff between yours and mine! | 03:33 |

| Bookman | I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I'm trying to create a live usb stick of Mint. I'm using the startup disk program but it won't let me select the .iso file. It just defaults to a previously installed 11.04 beta iso that I burned some time ago | 03:42 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, try unetbootin it works on many. | 03:43 |
| seclm193 | anyone know why DesktopNova stalls my desktop when changing wallpaper? | 03:43 |
| Bookman | I've tried unetbootin but it resulted in a non bootable image | 03:43 |
| blacksunseven | to re-iterate my problem since i had to restart: I've just installed the proprietary drivers for my onboard ATI card in 10.04 and, upon reboot, now get a black screen. what do? | 03:43 |

| edbian | blacksunseven: come in, see this, what do? Have you tried recovery mode to remove the driver? | 03:44 |
| Atharva | Hi..Have installed Counter Strike 1.6 on VirtualBox 4.0.12. The Game Starts but the mouse does not work properly.....Any idea ? | 03:44 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, did you reformat the thumb when you used unetbootion? | 03:44 |
| zac1256 | hay who hast 11.04 | 03:45 |
| seclm193 | zac1256, i has 11.04 | 03:45 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, no, I don't see that option | 03:45 |
| edbian | zac1256: I doth posses it | 03:45 |
| zac1256 | well it sucks i am running 10.10 | 03:46 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, right click the thumb and the reformat, also you might want to check the md5sum of the ISO. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 03:46 |
| edbian | zac1256: Do you have a support question? | 03:46 |
| urlin2u | *then | 03:46 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, i'm removing the driver right now | 03:46 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: Excellent | 03:47 |
| zac1256 | ya y wont ubuntu start up an a 24 core computer | 03:47 |
| seclm193 | zac1256, have you tried running 11.04 in gnome classic? it's how i run it | 03:47 |
| dangbarry | hermies, next http://pastebin.com/0ctkk93G save that in your home home as .asoundrc and try restarting the daemon! | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zac1256: it can and will | 03:47 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, sorry right click the thumb then format. | 03:47 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, yeah tried that. Still no go | 03:48 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, this is like kindergarden stuff bro. | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | fwiw the server kernel can handle up to 64 cores | 03:48 |

| mcbtay | i have an ubuntu webserver, and i'm wanting to allow users to upload files to an img directory... what permissions do the script and the directory need to have? | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mcbtay: how do the connect to get the upload feature of the server? | 03:49 |
| seclm193 | mcbtay, i beleive it's 777 | 03:49 |
| dangbarry | Eryn_1982_FL, no never, whats it like? im loving the new kde4 | 03:49 |
| seclm193 | mcbtay, might be wrong though | 03:49 |
| mcbtay | ActionParsnip, not sure what you're asking | 03:49 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, maybe you have to get to a high level to solve my issue? | 03:50 |
| mcbtay | seclm193, would the script need to have those permissions, or the folder? or both? | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, I doubt it I can do it. ;-) | 03:51 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, it just won't burn correctly. Or, more correctly it won't boot from what unetbootin burns | 03:51 |
| seclm193 | mcbtay, i think just the script, but i'm not a 100% sure | 03:51 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, did you check the md5sum? | 03:52 |
| Bookman | Yup, it is fine | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mvbwell, a webserver is a broadcast service, if your users want to upload, they will connect differently to a web page which you simply view | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | mcbtay: ^ | 03:52 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, have you ever used unetbootin? | 03:52 |
| bobweaver | Hi there I am playing with my boot splash right now and having some troubles . I have a nvidia-current installed but it don't show up in lsmod only nouveau I tried to blacklist this Nothing stays loaded I try sudo rmmod nothing says it is running I drop x and still nothing | 03:52 |
| mcbtay | ActionParsnip, it's a PHP script, if that helps you? | 03:52 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, yes in the past I have | 03:52 |
| MagicJ | mcbtay: are you going to use the FILE type from a web page to upload - if so the issue is what permissins does your script thatreceives the file need | 03:53 |
| dangbarry | Eryn_1982_FL, there is an irc channel for stump on freenode #stumpwm | 03:53 |

| dangbarry | Eryn_1982_FL, thats prob the best place to ask! | 03:53 |
| methods | what is libpng3 supposed to be ? | 03:54 |
| theadmin | methods: A library for PNG support in many applications. | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mcbtay: do they authenticate at all? | 03:54 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, here is another usb loader, use gparted to format the drive if you choose the multisystem app. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 03:54 |
| MagicJ | mcbtay: then the issuoes is merely to set the permissions for the img directory sich that your script has write access. To some degree this will depend what user the script runs as | 03:54 |
| MagicJ | mcbtay: if the script runs as a specific user then you will need to make sure that user has permots | 03:55 |
| yaaase | so, question: I recently wiped Windows 7 and installed Ubuntu on my laptop. However, I have noticed that DVDs play terribly (choppy, poor-quality, etc) in Ubuntu when they used to play beautifully in win7. is this just a linux limitation? | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: what video chip do you use? | 03:55 |
| dangbarry | yaaase, vlc | 03:55 |
| yaaase | ActionParsnip: what command will tell me? | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: did you install the DVD decoder? | 03:55 |
| yaaase | dangbarry: vlc = ? | 03:55 |
| yaaase | ActionParsnip: yes, I did | 03:56 |
| methods | yea but there should only be 1.2 , 1.4 and the latest is 1.5 ... when i apt-cache search i only see libpng12 not even 14 .. both 1.2 and 1.4 are legacy.. 1.5.4 is the latest stable.. and as far as 1.3 I doin't even see that | 03:56 |
| methods | listed on the site.. also the ubuntu list for libpng3 doesnt' include a -dev package.. even looking at their ftp site I don't see a 1.3 ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/png/src/ | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: sudo lshw -C display use a pastebin to host the text so you don't spam the channel | 03:56 |
| yaaase | ActionParsnip: I also then deleted (on ubuntu forums advice ~/.dvdcss | 03:56 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, I shall check that out, thanks! | 03:56 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, I use it with a 16 gig thumb it is a n=multibooter pretty cool. | 03:57 |

| yaaase | ActionParsnip: just the default "Movie Player" so far | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: are you using gnome desktop? | 03:58 |
| methods | theadmin: ?? | 03:58 |
| yaaase | ActionParsnip: yes - ubuntu (classic) | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: try: sudo apt-get install vlc gnome-mplayer | 03:58 |
| theadmin | methods: You asked what libpng is | 03:58 |
| theadmin | methods: I answered | 03:58 |
| methods | see my response above | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: then try those, see if it's different | 03:59 |
| blacksunseven | Things aren't going well. | 03:59 |
| theadmin | methods: Oh, never mind then | 03:59 |
| b0whunter | ok | 03:59 |
| blacksunseven | I've removed the driver and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to generate a new xorg.conf | 03:59 |
| yaaase | ActionParsnip: ty, installing now. what will they be called (if I alt/f2 to them)? | 03:59 |
| blacksunseven | But I'm still getting a black screen | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | yaaase: as I wrote above... | 03:59 |
| blacksunseven | also, xorg.conf is empty... | 03:59 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: How sure are you the correct driver is loading? (the open source one) | 04:00 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: also this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen | 04:00 |
| methods | theadmin: This is a dummy package provided for compatibility purposes. Please use libpng12-dev instead. | 04:01 |
| methods | I'm at a loss | 04:01 |
| methods | libpng3 This package is superseded by libpng12-0, and is provided only for transitional purposes. | 04:01 |
| kieppie | hi all. I run mostly an Ubuntu/Debian network, & a pfSense firewall. I'm looking for a way of specifying my apt-cache proxy in the DHCP options. any ideas, please? | 04:01 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, not too sure, i just know the ati one isnt become i removed it through hardware drivers in system>admin. | 04:02 |
| yaboo | can I stillrun gnome2 on 11.04 | 04:02 |
| yaboo | unity is woeful | 04:02 |
| methods | is ubuntu ever going to provide libpng14 or 15 ? | 04:02 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: There are 3 drivers, radeon (open source), fglrx (proprietary), ati (which is just a wrapper and will load fglrx) | 04:03 |
| zykotick9 | kieppie, i don't think a dhcp server can provide info for apt.conf | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: Natty uses gnome 2 | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | methods: you may find a ppa | 04:03 |
| kieppie | zykotick9: thanks. I'm not familiar enough with DHCP & it's options to make that call | 04:03 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, how can i see which one i'm using? | 04:03 |
| yaboo | Acthanks | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: if you think Unity is a replacement desktop for gnome then you are misinformed | 04:04 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: lsmod | grep "drivername" or sudo lspci -k (and look through the list) | 04:04 |
| methods | i don't want to find one i just want to know what's going on because it's such an old version | 04:04 |
| yaboo | ActionParsnip, we just installed here at work, and know, there is no way management will allow people to use unity | 04:04 |
| blacksunseven | 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] | 04:04 |
| blacksunseven | Kernel modules: radeon | 04:04 |
| Internetinator | Yeah, you can still use gnome 2 with 11.04 | 04:05 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: in lspci the 'kernel modules' list is driver that are available. the 'drivers list' is the driver this is actually being used. in linux modules = drivers | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | methods: if it works then its fine, if there are security reasons, dependancy or other significant reasons it will get added | 04:05 |
| yaboo | Internetinator, thanks | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: then change DE or log off and log in to Ubuntu Classic, Unity2D will replace Classic in Oneiric | 04:05 |
| yaboo | installed 10.10 desktop looks good, updated to11.04 and unity,is just not there for us | 04:06 |
| Internetinator | When you log in, just select Ubuntu Classic from the session thing | 04:06 |
| cyberwave | why are there three floodbots? | 04:06 |
| yaboo | understand the theory, but not yet | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | cyberwave: so peole don't spam the channel with pastes | 04:06 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, so no driver is in use? | 04:06 |
| cyberwave | but don't you need only one flood bot? why are there three? | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: there is more than gnome to use for the DE | 04:06 |
| yaboo | ActionParsnip, DE? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | cyberwave: not sure there personally :) | 04:07 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: If there is no 'drivers' list then yeah no driver. There is probably some really low level basic driver that just shows text or something | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: desktop environment = DE | 04:07 |
| than_rua | i don't know, i use Gnome 3 on kubuntu 11.04, will type on Gnome must use key space... | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: KDE, LXDE, Gnome etc | 04:07 |
| yaboo | ActionParsnip, thanks | 04:07 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, yeah, no drivers list | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | yaboo: in Linux you have choice, you don't have to use Unity | 04:07 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: That makes sense to me. I would just sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon (to install the radeon driver) and then s | 04:08 |
| yaboo | ActionParsnip, thanks go back to classic, assume gnome2, same desktop as 10.10 | 04:08 |
| millertimek1a2m3 | hey, what kind of application can I use to set up a wiki server?" | 04:08 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: and then reboot | 04:08 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: usually one can 'sudo modprobe <driverName>' to turn a driver on but that doesn't work with video cards | 04:09 |
| methods | ActionParsnip: would be nice to know what reasons.. i got people complaining to me that my game is linked against 1.2 when it's being fazed out by many other distributions.. | 04:09 |
| Bookman | urlin2u, I'm trying my first burn now with this program | 04:09 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, apt didn't do anything since it thinks its already installed - should i remove and re-install? | 04:09 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: no that's fine, sudo modprobe radeon to try to get it to be used. then restart (what modules were listed?) | 04:09 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, modprobe doesn't appear to have loaded the module | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | methods: not sure there dude, you may fnid a ppa with it on which you can update with. Its all I can personally suggest. Maybe others can advise | 04:11 |
| urlin2u | Bookman, cool hope it works. | 04:11 |
| blacksunseven | the only module listed is "radeon" | 04:11 |
| mark49 | Hi! Does someone know if the "invisible mouse pointer after suspend" bug has been crushed in Natty? | 04:11 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: no, it won't immediately. run the modprobe then restart | 04:11 |
| blacksunseven | oh, ok, doing now | 04:11 |
| blakebrinkley | hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me fix a grub error on 11.04 | 04:11 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: If I knew radeon was installed I would not have had you install it again :P | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mark49: if you rmmod then modprobe the mouse driver, does it reappear? | 04:12 |
| * edbian is confused.... | 04:12 | |

| paijem-cantik | :d | 04:13 |
| mark49 | ActionParsnip: sorry, I'm to n00b to follow your question... | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mark49: use a terminal to unload and load the module driving the mouse | 04:14 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, no good, same output/problems | 04:15 |
| blacksunseven | edbian, do i need to have X running for a driver to load? | 04:15 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: I'm confused. Are you in recovery mode right now? I noticed to reboot you had to leave the IRC room. | 04:15 |
| edbian | blacksunseven: no, a driver being loaded should allow X to run. | 04:15 |
| blakebrinkley | Hello? | 04:16 |
| blacksunseven | so I can remote to my computer and work on it through ssh and such (which is where my xchat is running) | 04:16 |

| dangbarry | save it and exit corrextly | 04:32 |
| meegooo | hey I got questions about patching and compiling | 04:33 |
| Polah | dangbarry: It makes it as soon as I open a file to edit and nothing is ever done to remove it. | 04:34 |
| zykotick9 | Polah, (UNTESTED) Bluefish - Edit / Preferences - Files - uncheck "Create backup files during file save". would be my guess. | 04:34 |
| robbmunson | zykotick9, TESTED: You're right. :) | 04:35 |
| dangbarry | Polah, i don't use bluefish, i use vim, vim does this when i have a file i am editing that has not been saved. | 04:35 |
| zykotick9 | robbmunson, thanks ;) | 04:35 |
| Polah | zykotick9, yeah, that sorted it. Don't know how I missed that before | 04:36 |
| Polah | dangbarry: Never used vim, used vi and I've never seen it do that. | 04:37 |
| dangbarry | Polah, but you can turn it off in the vimrc | 04:39 |
| theadmin | dangbarry: You can :set nobackup | 04:41 |
| theadmin | dangbarry: And :set nowritebackup | 04:41 |
| theadmin | dangbarry: That'd stop it | 04:41 |
| dangbarry | theadmin: I already have that done! | 04:42 |
| dangbarry | ty anyway! | 04:42 |

| Lasers | !gksudo | EnigmaticCoder | 05:16 |
| ubottu | EnigmaticCoder: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:16 |
| Lasers | EnigmaticCoder: You shouldn't use sudo or gksudo on terminal though. | 05:16 |
| Lasers | (to call terminal) | 05:16 |
| beautifulmind | dangbarry: with ifconfig, its not showing the mac address | 05:16 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Hmmm, ty | 05:16 |

| dangbarry | hey, I was wondering if anyone thinks that the following are security issue: .bashrc .xinitrc and all .sh files. for example echo "chromium lemonparty.org" >> .bashrc" same with any .sh or .xinitrc.. by the way don't not go onto that website, its visually distrubing! last time it was (a bastard friend).. you could do other things like download from git, or wgets. and run them through .sh bashrc .xinitrc. This is easy stopped, by changing the premissions " | 05:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dangbarry: you can change permissions if you are concerned | 05:59 |
| dangbarry | i did! | 05:59 |
| susundbe1g | Yeah, and they are not ment for 'public editing' -- i mean they are ment for running commands, that is the designed property. You cannot change that .. | 06:00 |
| dangbarry | but should the not be by default! | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dangbarry: log a bug if you suspect one | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | dangbarry: ".sh files" doesn't mean much in linux either ;) | 06:01 |
| dangbarry | its not that thing this is a bug, quite the opposite. i love the fact that we can do tonnes of things through these files. does nobody think that they should be read only? | 06:03 |
| susundbe1g | No? They are ment for editing? | 06:03 |
| dangbarry | But i mean to edit them, require sudo! | 06:04 |
| susundbe1g | i mean your $home/.bashrc should not be writable (or maybe even readable) for some other user but for your self sure | 06:04 |
| susundbe1g | well /etc/ stuff should require sudo and they afaik do | 06:04 |
| susundbe1g | but stuff in your /home/ is ment for user editing, and should not require sudo | 06:04 |
| envygeeks | everything in /etc/ is readable except for system user files (passwd, groups, shadow) | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | susundbe1g: the aliases in ~/.bashrc can be poisoned maliciously as dangbarry states | 06:05 |
| dangbarry | well, if you had friends like have! | 06:05 |
| johndo | If I was that paranoid wouldn't it just be easier to encrypt my home directory? | 06:05 |

| SinnerNyx | ok so I have a VM that I move around alot. When I do I need to reset the network interface names (because it detects the adapter on the new machine as a new adapter). To reset it I empty /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and restart the VM. Does this have any negative effects? Should I be doing this another way? | 06:06 |
| envygeeks | SinnerNyx: no as it should be regenerated automatically by the system | 06:06 |
| envygeeks | SinnerNyx: by that I mean it's not negative | 06:07 |
| BTH | Hello, everyone! | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | johndo: no as the data is decrypted and fully editable by the logged in user | 06:07 |
| envygeeks | ActionParsnip: only the user that the folder is encrypted to, not just /any/ user, so your point is moot | 06:08 |
| feng_ | I use vim + ctags in ubuntu Linux to browse source code, when there are more than one implement , say ioremap, the vim just give the first implement , not giving a list of implement like in fedora. Why? | 06:08 |

| SinnerNyx | thx envygeeks | 06:09 |
| dangbarry | feng_: go to vims freenode channel #vim | 06:10 |
| dangbarry | feng_: perhaps they can answer you there! | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | envygeeks: sure, but an unwitting user may run a script, or a javascript applet may be ran by a user and edit his/her file. | 06:12 |

| Syria | Hello there, I am trying to install Meerkat 10.10 on my desktop using an external hard disk but I get a message that says "unable to find a medium that contains live file system" Md5 is okay ! and I have used usb startup disc creator. | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | envygeeks: not moot in any way | 06:13 |
| pato | hello | 06:13 |
| starlon | how can I figure out which device I need to change permissions on so I can use Wireshark to analyze communications? | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hi pato | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | starlon: sudo lshw -C network | 06:13 |
| robbmunson | !hi | pato | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | robbmunson: that was removed, it was deemed too impersonal | 06:14 |
| pato | sorry to bother everyone. I got this message on my virtual machine, just now, and I have no idea what it means. | 06:14 |
| pato | cifs vfs: rsize 32768 too large using maxbufsize | 06:14 |
| pato | I tried to google for an answer, but not many available | 06:14 |
| robbmunson | ActionParsnip, showing my age, lol. | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | robbmunson: yeah I was kinda freaked when I saw it missing too :) | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | pato: what are you doing to cause the message? | 06:15 |
| pato | ActionParsnip: Well, the VM was completely locked up. I had to kill the kvm process and restart the machine. when I checked the console to see if it was back up again I saw that error | 06:16 |
| damno | compiz key bindings for commands aren't working.. :-/ | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | pato: mentions rsize https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/810606 | 06:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 810606 in cifs-utils (Ubuntu) "Slow cifs in 11.04" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 06:18 |
| envygeeks | ActionParsnip: every engine that could parse that javascript file has protections that prevent that, even in a home directory. | 06:18 |
| pato | ActionParsnip: let me read it. | 06:19 |
| damno | compiz key bindings for commands aren't working.. :-/ | 06:19 |
| gry | damno, did they work before? | 06:19 |
| damno | yes | 06:19 |
| damno | gry: yes | 06:19 |
| gry | damno, when did they stop working? | 06:19 |
| === CrEddy_ is now known as CrEddy | ||
| damno | right now.. when I tried adding one more | 06:19 |
| gry | if you remove it, do they work again? | 06:20 |
| Syria | Unable to find a medium that contains live file system ubuntu ! what is this? | 06:21 |
| damno | gry: once I add them and try pressing the key nothing happens. once I quit ccsm and open it again the key bindings aren't there.. like nothing was assigned. | 06:21 |
| cyphase | how can i install python 2.5.2 on natty alongside 2.7? | 06:23 |
| envygeeks | cyphase: you compile your own python and name the binary and all it's folders python2.5 | 06:23 |
| cyphase | envygeeks, besides that :). preferably a repo.. | 06:24 |
| envygeeks | afaik python2.5 is dead, everyone is moved to 2.6 | 06:24 |
| envygeeks | or (rarely) 3 | 06:24 |
| pato | ActionParsnip: I think I found the case based on that post. I am guessing the windows backend is not playing along sometimes, and the cifs mount has too big of a parameter. I'll see if I reconfigure that mount point and fix the problem. Thank you for your help on this. | 06:25 |
| SubjectOne | goodmorning | 06:30 |
| linuxuz3r | im out | 06:31 |
| liul | hello | 06:35 |
| yaboo | I wish to modify the xorg.conf config or what is it now so I can get the extra resolutions on my monitor | 06:38 |
| alter | оксана | 06:44 |
| johndo | niet | 06:45 |
| yaboo | I seem not to have a xorg.conf, is there different way for 11.04 | 06:45 |
| fr500 | yaboo: it's mostly autoconfigured now | 06:45 |
| fr500 | yaboo: but you can create it anyway afaik | 06:46 |
| johndo | I tried it with the bodhilinux fork by doin g X -configure though and it broke the display settings. | 06:47 |
| johndo | it went from low resolution to no resolution | 06:48 |
| Dopeamin | hello | 06:49 |
| flametai1 | Anyone know any really good websites for themes? =/ | 06:49 |
| johndo | opendesktop.org | 06:50 |

| gry | flametai1: ^ | 06:51 |
| flametai1 | Thank you gry :D | 06:51 |
| oisgam | hello there | 06:52 |
| gry | flametai1: Sure. | 06:52 |
| gry | oisgam: Hi! | 06:52 |
| oisgam | hey guys i'm new user of ubuntu and i was wondering if there´s any way to get gnome 3 keeping unity? | 06:53 |
| Lasers | oisgam: You can't have both. | 06:54 |
| milamber | !gnome3 | oisgam | 06:54 |
| ubottu | oisgam: 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. | 06:54 |
| oisgam | T_T ok ... | 06:54 |
| johndo | but if you really like the dock I've had some luck with dockbarx | 06:54 |
| oisgam | i got docky and works good with unity | 06:55 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | Hello | 06:55 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | I am using Linux Mint right now and I think to change to Ubuntu. Should I change to Ubuntu ? | 06:55 |
| gry | _NJSDDngddsg: if you like | 06:56 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | gry: Mint and Ubuntu areb oth okay. I would change to ubuntu because i have got problems with mints owner | 06:57 |
| fr500 | mint's owner? | 06:57 |
| fr500 | as in personal issues? | 06:57 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | yes | 06:57 |
| gry | _NJSDDngddsg: if you like ubuntu, then change | 06:58 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | i like both | 06:58 |
| fr500 | _NJSDDngddsg: pretty much the same thing mate | 06:58 |
| milamber | _NJSDDngddsg: is there a reason to change? | 06:59 |
| urlin2u | _NJSDDngddsg, your obviously pining to talk about your problems don't do it here. | 06:59 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | milamber: personal problems with clement lefebvre, mint owner, this is the only | 06:59 |
| urlin2u | _NJSDDngddsg, this s not a mint anything s=channel stop it. | 07:00 |
| _NJSDDngddsg | milamber | 07:00 |
| milamber | _NJSDDngddsg: that means no then. in my experience change for change sake is not something to do for anything that matters. come on back if you try ubuntu and have support questions :) | 07:00 |
| oisgam | well also i have some issues, and i wanna know how to solve them. once i've configured the compizcube and the compiz effects and all that stuff the loading screen of ubuntu look creeppy and show somo messages but they disapear too fast i can read them | 07:01 |
| fr500 | _NJSDDngddsg: if you have issues... well then change | 07:01 |
| fr500 | while there are important differences, for the common user it's all skin deep | 07:01 |
| oisgam | i don wanna change i´m the other guy | 07:02 |
| sheepherd | so ive got those files on my external hd which are executables. when inside the mounted device they dont have chmod x but when moved to ~ they are. is that some kind of security feature? | 07:02 |
| * stjohnmedrano is away: Away lang!. | 07:02 | |
| milamber | sheepherd: what are the filesystems? | 07:02 |
| sheepherd | ah! gimme a sec | 07:03 |
| milamber | sheepherd: the external is probably fat which doesn't support executable bit | 07:03 |
| fr500 | sheepherd: what kind of executables? | 07:04 |
| fr500 | .exe? | 07:04 |
| sheepherd | filesystem is fuseblk | 07:05 |
| sheepherd | @milaber ^ | 07:05 |
| fr500 | not likely | 07:05 |
| fr500 | ntfs fat ext3 ext4 are likely | 07:05 |
| questionsabout | Hello | 07:06 |
| milamber | sheepherd: that is how an ntfs system is reported. to see the fs type, do: sudo fdisk -l | 07:06 |
| JoeR1 | hello | 07:06 |
| sheepherd | fr500, http://goo.gl/1GT40 | 07:06 |
| questionsabout | I am questionsabout, my prename is questions and my aftername is about, that makes questionsabout(buntu) | 07:06 |
| questionsabout | I am questionsabout, my prename is questions and my aftername is about, that makes questionsabout(ubuntu) | 07:07 |
| questionsabout | I have got some questions. Can you answer them me? | 07:07 |
| iceroot | !ask | questionsabout | 07:07 |
| ubottu | questionsabout: 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. :-) | 07:07 |
| sveinse | What setting controls that windows maximizes if I drag them to the top edge? | 07:07 |
| questionsabout | Well i have many questions | 07:07 |
| sheepherd | ok so its really ntfs | 07:07 |
| questionsabout | so i will asked all of them and number them | 07:07 |
| milamber | sheepherd: correct, which doesn't support the executable bit, which is why the files can't/won't show it | 07:08 |
| JoeR1 | No one needs to remind me that this is NOT the wine room therefore I know this is a long shot but I was hoping someone might have some insight into lag issues I am having with Starcraft Brood War under wine. | 07:08 |
| sheepherd | gotta write down that command. having a lot of fun with the CLI atm :) | 07:08 |
| questionsabout | 1.) I want to change to Ubuntu. 2.) I alreeady had linux. my pc has a ssd. 3.) i hate the desktop wall of compiz.4.) i need a stable system. 5.) unity is okay if i change the numbers of workspaces form 4 to 1 | 07:09 |
| milamber | sheepherd: when working with filesystems/mounts, df is another good one | 07:09 |
| questionsabout | Which Ubuntu should I use ß | 07:09 |
| tensorpudding | questionsabout: you can use natty, and configure compiz the way you want | 07:10 |
| sheepherd | milamber, makes sense, ty! you think its a good idea to reformat that drive to ext4? since it would better fit ubuntu and is overall superior afaik | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | questionsabout: no guarantees that it will be stable to your desires though | 07:10 |
| questionsabout | yes and do you think !!:!= is not stable qnough | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | questionsabout: but no ubuntu has ever been that stable | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | that i haven't had a bug | 07:10 |
| JoeR1 | what number is natty? ( god I hate those stupid animal based nick names) | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | 11.04 | 07:10 |
| milamber | questionsabout: that was really only one question, natty is the current release, but the !lts (10.04) is *generally* considered more stable | 07:10 |
| JoeR1 | ok | 07:10 |
| questionsabout | JoeR!. !":=$ | 07:10 |
| JoeR1 | thanks | 07:10 |
| tensorpudding | the lts will lack hardware support for the newest stuff | 07:10 |
| questionsabout | JoeR!. 12.04 | 07:10 |
| milamber | sheepherd: if you want any type of windows compatibility i would leave it as is | 07:10 |
| JoeR1 | 12? I dodn't know they had a 12 yet | 07:11 |
| milamber | !natty | 07:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 | 07:11 |
| bullgard4_ | '~$ sudo cfdisk' lists 5 partitions with Flag=NC. What does 'NC' stand for? | 07:11 |
| questionsabout | yes and do you think 11-10 is not stable qnough | 07:12 |
| sheepherd | milamber, ah right... win cant read that. i think about it | 07:12 |
| JoeR1 | Anyway, I am having some lag issues with Brood War in wine and yes I know about the appdb and #winehq but they were fruitless and this room always has a high population | 07:13 |
| milamber | !11.10 | 07:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 07:13 |
| mickeythemeow | i just installed 11.04 | 07:13 |
| mickeythemeow | and the gui is .......scary | 07:13 |
| mickeythemeow | i'm lost in new gui | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mickeythemeow: log off and select Ubuntu Classic as the session | 07:14 |
| milamber | mickeythemeow: you can choose 'classic' at login | 07:14 |
| questionsabout | mickeythemeow yes the new gui is some really shit | 07:14 |
| tensorpudding | mickeythemeow: omg!ubuntu did a guided tour of it | 07:14 |
| questionsabout | never seen such a shit before | 07:14 |
| tensorpudding | mickeythemeow: let me find the link for you | 07:14 |
| JoeR1 | mickeythemeow, I didn't care for the mac-ish feel of the gui so I reconfigured | 07:14 |
| tensorpudding | !language | questionsabout | 07:14 |
| ubottu | questionsabout: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 07:14 |
| tensorpudding | mickeythemeow: http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/ | 07:15 |
| mickeythemeow | i changed to classic and now it's better :) | 07:15 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: hardly mac-ish. The dock in mac os is on the bottom ;-) | 07:15 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, my dock was on the bottom, I got rid of it in favor of a more MS style | 07:16 |
| mickeythemeow | thanks guy brb | 07:16 |
| tensorpudding | mickeythemeow: ubuntu 11.10 will not have classic mode, but two different unity modes | 07:16 |
| Syria | Unable to find a medium that contains live file system ubuntu :( | 07:16 |
| wsagent | Hi | 07:17 |
| JoeR1 | anyway, am I getting the cold shoulder on my wine question because it is off-topic? | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Syria: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: wine is on topic as it is in the official ubuntu repos | 07:18 |
| Syria | ActionParsnip: ٍSure, I am trying to install it using an external hard disc and used ubuntu usb start up creator. | 07:19 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, well I have had people bust my hump in this room for asking wine questions so I can never be sure | 07:19 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: with wine, as a general rule, your mileage may vary | 07:19 |
| JoeR1 | fr500 - I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean | 07:19 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: did you check the appdb for compatibility? | 07:20 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: wine is wonderful, but results are never guarranteed | 07:20 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: and to your question, define lag | 07:20 |
| fr500 | ? | 07:20 |
| fr500 | is it low FPS, or real lag as in high ping? | 07:20 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip As I stated before, Yes I did check the appdb and #winehq before coming here | 07:20 |
| JoeR1 | fr500 - inexplicable frameskip | 07:21 |
| fr500 | single player or MP? | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: i didn't see that, look when I joined the channel ;-) | 07:21 |
| JoeR1 | single, I have yet to go bnet | 07:21 |
| fr500 | what hardware? | 07:21 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, so many join I couldn't hope to keep track | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: which wine version? | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: then whe | 07:22 |
| abhinav_singh | how do you see gnome version in my ubuntu | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | When someone asks, simply inform | 07:22 |
| abhinav_singh | err wrong question...how do i see gnome version in ubuntu | 07:22 |
| bullgard4_ | '~$ sudo cfdisk' lists 5 partitions with Flag=NC. What does 'NC' stand for? | 07:22 |
| Tech-1 | system monitor | 07:23 |
| JoeR1 | pentium d (dual core) geforce 9400 2g ddr2 | 07:23 |
| triplc | hi all | 07:23 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: well you should be able to run sc at max settings I guess | 07:23 |
| sheepherd | so... couple questions left. first off, i cant start banshee anymore. i get following error: http://goo.gl/ZZPOG . i dont see any process running | 07:23 |
| fr500 | but that's in Windows | 07:23 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, wine 1.2.3 | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | abhinav_singh: dpkg -l | grep gnome | grep lib should do it | 07:23 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: in wine I'd guess there should be a 20-40% performance penalty | 07:24 |
| fr500 | it's pretty broad | 07:24 |
| fr500 | and app dependant | 07:24 |
| JoeR1 | fr500 - that game doesn't even have graphics settings but yes I should blow the req's out of the water that is why i suspect it is a matter of settings in wine | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: uninstall it. Add the wine ppa and install 1.3 it may help | 07:24 |
| JoeR1 | action - perhaps, one moment | 07:25 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: even if you do in Windows | 07:25 |
| abhinav_singh | okay ActionParsnip | 07:25 |
| sheepherd | what could be the issue here? | 07:25 |
| sheepherd | i did reboot already | 07:25 |
| triplc | must i install pulseaudio to get gnome-settings-daemon to control audio volume (via multimedia keys), ubuntu 10.04 ? i install a slim (no gnome, only settings-daemon) ubuntu but do not know how to get the volume control correctly. i thought that gnome 2 does not require/demand pulseaudio | 07:25 |
| fr500 | JoeR1: that doesn't mean it will be the same in linux with wine | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: also make sure the app is fully updated | 07:25 |
| JoeR1 | fr500 - even at an 80% performance drop I should have starcraft licked | 07:25 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, it is, of that I am certain | 07:25 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: Your DBus is out of order. may be it helps to start your GUI anew. | 07:26 |
| sheepherd | how do i do that? | 07:26 |
| bullgard4_ | !prefix | sheepherd | 07:26 |
| ubottu | sheepherd: 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 :) | 07:26 |
| triplc | must i install pulseaudio to get gnome-settings-daemon to control audio volume (via multimedia keys), ubuntu 10.04 ? i install a slim (no gnome, only settings-daemon) ubuntu but do not know how to get the volume control correctly. i thought that gnome 2 does not require/demand pulseaudio | 07:27 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, yep sry :) | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: wine 1.3 may be the ticket. Wine is a strange beast. Also see if cedega or crossoveroffice run it | 07:27 |
| milamber | bullgard4_: NC means not compatible with dos or os/2, hope you don't need that :/ | 07:27 |
| JoeR1 | I suspect that the average person that comes in here asking questions is less tech adept than I often feel as though I am being spoken down to (not in reference to any specific thing said today) | 07:28 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, I am just running updates with apt-get, if that doesn't work I'll go after a clean wipe | 07:28 |
| yoymi | hola | 07:28 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, so back to my question... to you mean restarting compiz? im not sure what you mean with GUI | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: could also see if there are vids on YouTube of people running it and ask how they got it going | 07:29 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, *do | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: natty repos don't have 1.3 | 07:29 |
| bullgard4_ | milamber: Thank you for explaining. -- No, fortunately I do not need any DOS or OS/2 compatibility. | 07:29 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, no, that was also fruitless as any video made recently was concerning Starcarft 2, what with the recent-ish release and all | 07:30 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: No. I mean restart GNOME if you are using GNOME. | 07:30 |
| JoeR1 | Action yes they do, one moment - pastebin to follow shortly | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: i'll take your word for it | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !find wine | 07:31 |
| ubottu | Found: gnome-wine-icon-theme, q4wine, shiki-wine-theme, ttf-symbol-replacement-wine1.3, wine, wine1.2, wine1.2-dbg, wine1.2-dev, wine1.3, wine1.3-dbg (and 10 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wine&searchon=names&suite=natty§ion=all | 07:31 |
| JoeR1 | The following extra packages will be installed: wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko The following packages will be REMOVED: wine1.2 wine1.2-gecko The following NEW packages will be installed: wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko | 07:31 |
| Tech-1 | sheepherd just log out and back in, see if that helps, didn't mean to get in between you and bullgard4 , even though he started and didn't finish with you | 07:31 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, ok i'll do that... brb | 07:32 |
| === bobJabba is now known as bobJabba-Away | ||
| sheepherd | Tech-1, ty | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | JoeR1: so it does, the ppa may give a newer build, you'll need to try both to see which works better | 07:32 |
| Tech-1 | ya np/p | 07:32 |

| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, I told a lie. My version of starcraft was not up to date, I am rectifying this issue as I type. | 07:41 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: I could not find any report of the same bug in WWW that you have. -- I am using Banshee myself. -- The only recommendation I can give is to try Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 and its new Banshee version. But this is dangerous. | 07:43 |

| sheepherd | bullgard4, ty for looking into it. but you mean 11.11 right? | 07:44 |
| graphicscardhelp | How would I burn a video dvd to play in Dvd players in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty? Devede doesn't seem to be working anymore. The issue is when I go to play it on my dvd player, it gives me an error. So I'm guessing its not burning the iso file right in devede. | 07:44 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, ah typo 11.10 and you already corrected that | 07:44 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, well i dont think it could get worse than not working | 07:44 |
| Dogget | Hey guys. I cannot move upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 as ubuntu locks out completely even before I install it. | 07:45 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: But other programs may not work as well as you have been used to. | 07:46 |
| JoeR1 | what is the new Ubuntu nick name going to be? octogenarian ocelot? or perhaps odiferous opossum? | 07:46 |
| bullgard4_ | JoeR1: Oneiric | 07:47 |
| Tech-1 | lol opossum | 07:47 |
| Dogget | What about oval orifice? :-) | 07:48 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, i'll try upgrading banshee separately if possible. | 07:48 |

| FriGiN | im trying to boot from a usb.. no matter what i do i just get a blinking underscore forever. nothing ever happens. thought it was the distro i had but ive now tried 3 distros one not even ubu, any help? | 07:49 |
| Dogget | Well I explain Bullguard | 07:49 |
| JoeR1 | Perhaps Overt Orangutan would be a good name for it | 07:49 |
| milamber | !nomodeset | FriGiN | 07:51 |
| ubottu | FriGiN: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:51 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: What do you mean by "separately"? | 07:51 |
| Dogget | I used to have a 4850 ati graphic card and I never had any issue with it. I swapped to a 6850 which is stopping me from installing 11.04. If I swap the 6850 for my old 4850 I can put 11.04, if I put the 6850 back in I can't, even if 11.04 was installed previously using the 4850 card. | 07:51 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, well without switching to 11.10 | 07:51 |
| Dogget | I would love to upgrade but I can't. | 07:51 |
| ObrienDave | FriGiN: you mean usb hard drive or stick? | 07:51 |
| Dogget | Not without using the 6850 card. | 07:52 |
| FriGiN | stick | 07:52 |
| ObrienDave | FriGiN: i'm running off a 16GB stick now | 07:52 |
| bullgard4_ | sheepherd: DBus is concerend with inter-process communication. You may not be successful with your anticipated test. But it is worth a try. | 07:53 |
| FriGiN | thats what i have. ive had it b4.. i formatted it to move some software and im trying to go back ive never had this problem b4.. its immediately after post. just locks up right there. no data read blink from stick, nothing happens if you let it sit.. hit buttons nothing. | 07:53 |
| FriGiN | milamber, reading that page, i could be wrong, but im positive it doesnt apply.. its driver related and ive boot ubu many many times off this pc.. with same image. both 32 and 64 bit | 07:54 |
| milamber | FriGiN: just a thought | 07:54 |
| ObrienDave | FriGiN: am having same problem with 2TB hard drive. won't boot | 07:55 |
| FriGiN | milamber, not chastizing, just getting frustrated. | 07:55 |
| FriGiN | i used both unetbootin and yumi multi boot to image the stick.. | 07:56 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, hm... my update manager is installing libdbus1.0-cil right now. (new install) | 07:56 |
| FriGiN | my ultimate goal is that i want backtrack 5 running i'd love to have ubu multi boot on it tho.. | 07:56 |
| sheepherd | bullgard4, with apt-get update i could find any updates though... hows that possible? | 07:57 |
| * aztek off dulu ya bro all, bos manggil ni.... :-) | 07:57 | |
| Dogget | Anybody who can help me out with my 11.04 install/upgrade? | 07:57 |
| ObrienDave | FriGiN: I had better luck using LinuxPenDrive. Then burned .iso to dvd and installed to an UNformatted stick. | 07:57 |
| i42n | What is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade? | 07:57 |
| Clover | Hello all | 07:58 |

| milamber | FriGiN: do you have a smaller usb stick to try? | 07:58 |
| ObrienDave | FriGiN: k | 07:59 |
| FriGiN | the 2gb stick shows as 1.87 and its shy of the necessary 2gb for the one image i need. | 07:59 |

| FriGiN | ObrienDave, same ppl that make yumi, but i'll give a go | 08:01 |

| haaalp | is there a way to install ubuntu without removing ALL partitions? :O because i have a ntfs partition where a keep all my stuff that i want to save | 08:02 |
| Lasers | haaalp: Make a backup. | 08:02 |
| Lasers | haaalp: Buy new hard drives. They're cheap. | 08:02 |
| i42n | haaalp: just select at install that you want to keep the windows stuff | 08:02 |
| bullgard4_ | haaalp: Yes. This is possible. | 08:03 |
| haaalp | then how? without buying a new HDD? | 08:04 |
| bullgard4_ | haaalp: Use the Ubuntu installer program intelligently. | 08:04 |
| FriGiN | like i42n said, when installing you can choose to dual boot | 08:04 |
| Tomikasss | how to move icons to bottom in ubuntu?? | 08:04 |
| haaalp | yeah but i dont want to dualboot | 08:04 |
| FriGiN | you can regrub and remove the windows partition info in the boot. | 08:05 |
| Tomikasss | from left side to bottom | 08:05 |
| FriGiN | then kill the /windows for space efficacy.. | 08:05 |
| Lasers | haaalp: Why don't you want to buy new hard drive? I guess that NTFS partition isn't important if you're about to play with new toys without reading any manuals. | 08:05 |
| haaalp | i dont want to buy new ones since i already have 4 that i use! -.- | 08:06 |
| Guest3258 | I could some assist me, I want to burn a movie to a DVD so I can play it in my DVD player, how would I go about it using Brasero? | 08:06 |

| i42n | Lasers: It is possible without buying new hdd, so why spending more money? | 08:06 |
| haaalp | yes actually, they are full, this is the only one that's not | 08:07 |

| paszo2008 | hallo i have question how to enter grub during booting if ubuntu is only operating system ? | 08:08 |
| Lasers | paszo2008: Hold SHIFT if you're on GRUB2. (I believe). | 08:09 |
| paszo2008 | i tried holding shift but with no results | 08:09 |
| bullgard4_ | !grub2 | paszo2008 | 08:09 |
| ubottu | paszo2008: 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) | 08:09 |
| jorick | i installed ubuntu's GRUB on the partition-level (instead of on the disk level). this laptop already had a GRUB on the hard disk level which does things like restoring windows etc… how would i link the two grub's together? how do i get into grub's config? | 08:09 |
| paszo2008 | yes i am on grub 2 | 08:09 |
| GrindCrusher | press 'c' when the menu comes up | 08:09 |
| Lasers | I think Grub2 is hidden by default (until you hold shift during bootup). | 08:09 |
| Cyb3rjunk | Lasers u r right | 08:10 |
| gjx | hello everybody | 08:11 |
| Cyb3rjunk | but why grub 2 is used in only Ubuntu based distros ? | 08:11 |

| ObrienDave | acerz: switch under button bad? | 08:16 |
| paszo2008 | holding shift during bootup doesnot work :/ - i have installed newest ubuntu on vbox | 08:17 |
| acerz | Lasers: it is only a few months old and there is no hardware problem... everything workds well in windows 7 and in windows xp but when I switch to ubuntu, the problem shows up | 08:17 |
| Lasers | acerz: Well. Come back in when you're by your hardware. | 08:17 |
| ObrienDave | acerz: sounds like driver issue to me | 08:17 |
| acerz | must be a driver issuew | 08:18 |
| ObrienDave | zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz | 08:18 |
| Lasers | acerz: Otherwise we can't help much. You lack make/model specs. It's probably xorg issue if it didn't work out of the box fine. | 08:18 |
| acerz | so no solution can be foud here? | 08:18 |

| Lasers | Default in 11.04 | 09:41 |
| m_rite | Lasers: yes. it's just: i want my usual panels and only that launcher | 09:41 |
| BlueWolf | Dose anyone know a program use for creating web pages? A simple program for a beginner but the best? Prefribly a program that writes the Html code for you? | 09:42 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: kompozer? | 09:42 |
| Lasers | Blogger? | 09:42 |
| m_rite | Lasers: that launcher is really awesome, better than navigating through menus. i want it. but i don't like how unity handles open tasks so i'd like to have a hybrid of the two. any suggestions? | 09:43 |
| Lasers | m_rite: I have no idea because I don't use 11.04. Unity does that? Left side panel. If you want old panels, see !classic | 09:44 |
| m_rite | i have the old panels since i log in with classic. i just want that launcher | 09:44 |
| Lasers | Then go back to Unity. Don't log in with classic. | 09:45 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Is it user Friendly? | 09:45 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: yes, but picky about who it makes friends with | 09:46 |
| m_rite | Lasers: with unity comes the whole sidebar icon only ordeal that i don't want | 09:47 |
| Lasers | Well, that's part of Unity. It's a compiz plugin. | 09:48 |
| Lasers | !unity | 09:48 |
| ubottu | Unity is the default UI for Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. You can still boot to the classic GNOME desktop; see !classic. | 09:48 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Ha ha ha, If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. | 09:48 |

| urgru | wireless card is a PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection | 10:04 |
| envygeeks | What OS are you on about that works urgru? If it's Fedora then it's because they backport Wireless updates, for Ubuntu you'll have to wait till 11.10 for Kernel 3 | 10:05 |
| th0r | urgru: I have had problems getting encryption to work in the past. You might try first turning off encryption to determine if that is the problem | 10:05 |

| bjhaid | i have a bash script that runs with bash vas.sh start, if i want it to run as a daemon (run at startup), how do i get that done? | 10:09 |
| jerriy | What does this mean?: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below" | 10:10 |
| jerriy | Why does firefox open a "document tree" text page instead of the webpage? | 10:10 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Thanks, Is it reliable though? | 10:10 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: I have used clam on both windows and linux installs for years with no problems. But then again...my web usage is rather conservative | 10:11 |
| urgru | th0r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/666366/ | 10:11 |
| envygeeks | jerriy: the problem is with you, I had no problem opening the page, and all browsers have a DOM tree, that is the core of HTML, it's showing yo uthe DOM tree because it has nothing better to show you | 10:12 |
| jerriy | envygeeks: I have no idea what you're talking about | 10:12 |
| envygeeks | jerriy: in the end, it's either you or your ISP making a mistake, that page has no display issues | 10:13 |
| th0r | urgru: are you using the native linux modules for that card? If so, you might try using the windows drivers via ndiswrapper. While the windows driver decreased the sensitivity of my internal card it did improve the stability of the connection | 10:13 |
| jabdennel | Can someone explain to me the difference between aptitude and apt-get? I've heard that there isn't much difference | 10:14 |
| Polah | jabdennel: aptitude is a front-end for apt. They do the same thing really. | 10:14 |
| jerriy | envygeeks: No I do know it is me (I have other browsers and it shows the page correctly) so what did I do wrong and (more to the point) what'd I need to do to alter the Firefox (I have already disabled all addons but to no avail) | 10:15 |

| envygeeks | jerriy: clear your cache, open up firefox from the terminal and see if it complains and go from there that's all you can do | 10:15 |
| jabdennel | ok, just checking. I'm kinda new to using linux so it threw me off when I checked for something online and they were like "Hey, type this in: sudo aptitude etc" | 10:16 |
| urgru | th0r : i sticked to the original ubuntu drivers because they worked before on 11.04. The problem only appeared some days ago. | 10:16 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Ok I have both Installed how do I update them or set them to update? Start with clam. | 10:16 |
| obert | i dont get this damn time issue | 10:16 |
| urgru | th0r: can you guide me through installing the ndiswrapper drivers? | 10:17 |
| llutz | jabdennel: aptitude is debians preferred tool since a while, apt-get is older and more common to all debian-derives. use whatever you like, but you should stay at one tool | 10:17 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: run clamtk and in the Help menu you can check for updates | 10:17 |
| jabdennel | I'll stick with "apt-get" :D | 10:17 |
| th0r | urgru: install ndis-gtk...from there it is a piece of cake | 10:17 |
| th0r | urgru: you will need to remove the linux module from /etc/module if you added it there. If you didn't, then you need to blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 10:18 |

| jabdennel | guess not | 10:21 |
| th0r | jellow: are you sure undf is a file type and not 'undefined'? | 10:21 |
| Polah | jellow: That stands for undefined, i.e. VLC doesn't recognise it. | 10:21 |
| urgru | th0r: sorry, but i'm lost | 10:21 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: a newer version of what? If it is the engine or clamtk you are stuck with whatever is in the repos, if it is the antivirus database it should fetch it automatically if you are on the net. | 10:21 |

| Polah | jellow: No, you'll need packages to recognise AVI files. It's a proprietary format. If you install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should give you AVI support and some other things to boot | 10:23 |
| auronandace | !packages | zabomber | 10:24 |
| ubottu | zabomber: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 10:24 |
| jrib | zabomber: use dpkg if you don't mind satisfying the dependencies yourself. Otherwise, use gdebi. Make sure this package is meant for your version of ubuntu | 10:24 |
| janedoe | does anyone know the commands for rkhunter? | 10:24 |
| jrib | janedoe: read its man page? | 10:24 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: it won't automatically, but it will when you check for updates. To automatically check when you start up, run 'freshclam' in a shell script at boot | 10:24 |

| janedoe | well I read it when before I installed it, but I still don't know the commands for using it | 10:25 |
| janedoe | *read it before | 10:25 |
| jrib | janedoe: the commands are in the man page. If that's not what you want, ask a more specific question | 10:25 |

| _aaron_ | where can I manually download packages | 10:29 |

| _aaron_ | jrib, I don't have synaptic only aptitude | 10:32 |
| jrib | bjhaid: pastebin your script | 10:32 |
| Polah | jellow: Can't help you any more then, sorry. | 10:32 |
| jrib | _aaron_: there are other options in ubottu's message, but aptitude can also generate a script (check man page) | 10:33 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Is there no Avg for Ubuntu? | 10:33 |
| ne2k | having release-upgraded from maverick to natty, now rhythmbox's musicbrainz cd track database doesn't work (this is a known problem). I was willing to try out banshee as an alternative but it just crashes as soon as I open it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/666382/ | 10:33 |
| Polah | _aaron_: sudo apt-get download <packages> will download the debs for the packages you list | 10:33 |

| _aaron_ | why is it when I try to install packages from cd that they show up as stalled | 10:35 |
| karname | Hi, I upgraded to 11.10 alpha3 from 11.04 but when system wants to boot , I get this error from gurb : symbol not found : 'grub_divmod64_full' , can you help me? | 10:36 |
| jrib | !11.10 | karname | 10:36 |
| ubottu | karname: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 10:36 |
| paszo2008 | jrib - how to control what services start on startup ? | 10:36 |
| gry | !startup | 10:36 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 10:36 |
| gry | paszo2008: ^ ? | 10:36 |
| _aaron_ | jrib, why is it when I try to install packages from cd that they show up as stalled | 10:37 |
| jrib | paszo2008: if it uses a sys-v-init-style script, install and use sysv-rc-conf. If instead it is an upstart script, see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting | 10:38 |
| jrib | _aaron_: "stalled"? Where? | 10:38 |
| janedoe | so I found the right commands and I have 2 warnings, how do I fix that? | 10:38 |
| jrib | janedoe: what warnings... what did you type? | 10:38 |
| Polah | janedoe: Warnings in what? | 10:38 |
| gry | janedoe: tell us the warnings or assume we're psychic | 10:38 |
| _aaron_ | jrib, yes stalled during installation via aptitude | 10:39 |
| bjhaid1 | jrib: and what do i do afterwards? | 10:39 |
| jrib | _aaron_: pastebin exactly what you see | 10:39 |
| jrib | bjhaid1: log out and log back in | 10:39 |
| _aaron_ | jrib, ok give 5 - 10 | 10:39 |
| janedoe | /usr/bin/bsd-mailx and /usr/bin/mail | 10:40 |
| jrib | janedoe: you're being too vague. Pastebin everything | 10:40 |
| janedoe | kk | 10:40 |
| raven | hi | 10:40 |
| gry | hi | 10:41 |
| karname | jrib , ubottu : I asked there , but no one answered me ! I googled somethings about it , someone said you should purge grub , but I can't access to my ubuntu to purge grub , how can I do it ? | 10:41 |
| Polah | karname: Boot from a LiveCD and reinstall GRUB | 10:41 |
| jrib | karname: #ubuntu+1 is the channel for support with the development version of ubuntu, not this one | 10:41 |
| pushkarik | Hey guys. My Firefox5 doesn't show parts of websites where is some pieces of code. Here is screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21756832/scr.png | 10:41 |
| pushkarik | How to overcome this? I already tried to turn off plugins/extensions, change mozilla profile, purge firefox... | 10:41 |
| raven | evolution only crosses out deleted messages instead of deleting it - what could be wrong? | 10:41 |
| fatih1993 | How can i open .mp3 extension in Terminal ? | 10:41 |
| ne2k | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743164 I am experiencing this same bug. Banshee crashes as soon as it is opened on Natty. I tried moving ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db.old out of the way but the problem persists | 10:41 |
| adreanalink | I installed "flex" with checkinstall, but when I insall "libpcap" (that requires flex), it does not recognize it. What's the issue?! | 10:42 |
| jrib | fatih1993: use mplayer for example (there are many options) | 10:42 |
| jrib | pushkarik: close firefox, open in terminal, visit page, pastebin terminal output | 10:42 |
| fatih1993 | jrib: i know that, but i dont want to use Graphical User Interface | 10:42 |
| jrib | fatih1993: mplayer is command line... | 10:43 |
| nagg1_ | fatih1993: mplayer is a terminal command | 10:43 |
| fatih1993 | oh | 10:43 |
| BlueWolf | th0r: Ok what would you recomend?/ | 10:43 |
| fatih1993 | Then, Can you give me more commands? | 10:43 |
| nagg1_ | fatih1993: just "mplayer file.mp3" to play the file, space to pause/play | 10:43 |
| th0r | BlueWolf: that is where we started, isn't it? | 10:43 |
| jrib | fatih1993: mpg321 | 10:43 |
| pushkarik | jrib: has no output. what am i doing wrong? | 10:44 |
| ne2k | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/668725 found the solution. I have to say that is EXTREMELY CRAP | 10:44 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 668725 in banshee (Ubuntu) "banshee crash on start" [Medium,Triaged] | 10:44 |
| ne2k | how can you have a music player crash if a certain directory is missing? that is just utterly unbelievably rubbish | 10:44 |
| jrib | pushkarik: when you say "has no output". Does firefox actually control the terminal when you run it, or do you just get a new prompt? | 10:44 |
| janedoe | so these are the warnings: http://pastebin.com/WqLnifZj | 10:44 |
| nagg1_ | fatih1993: If you want more terminal-based sound playing programs, just use Google or Wikipedia. | 10:44 |
| gry | janedoe, we are not psychic, we also need to see next and previous line - all you see in the Terminal; this information is obviously not enough to understand anything | 10:45 |
| gry | janedoe, including what you typed initially, what is your input (not output) | 10:45 |
| jrib | janedoe: that's better, now include what you ran and then ask your question with a link to that | 10:45 |
| pushkarik | jrib: i get new promt where i can't run bash commands | 10:45 |
| jrib | pushkarik: pastebin what you see | 10:46 |
| gry | janedoe, include *both* input and complete output | 10:46 |
| jerriy | envygeeks: cleared my cache, opened up firefox from the terminal and run Firefox in safe mode but to no avail (I still get that error page: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below") | 10:46 |
| gry | jerriy, that's odd, try to reinstall firefox, then | 10:46 |

| fatih1993 | naggl_ and jrip: thanks both of you | 10:47 |
| pushkarik | jrib: i just see last command (firefox) and new line with blinking cursor - even if i go to sites it still blinking without any output. | 10:47 |
| jrib | pushkarik: that's strange.. | 10:48 |
| bjhaid | jrib: it didnt work | 10:48 |
| jrib | pushkarik: in the past, I've seen this happen because of custom installed fonts. Did you install any fonts? | 10:49 |
| pushkarik | jrib: maybe i need use some flags to get output? | 10:49 |
| jrib | bjhaid: be more specific | 10:49 |
| pushkarik | jrib: yes, i tried to install some of unusual fonts - i've put them into 'fonts; folder | 10:49 |
| jrib | pushkarik: try removing them | 10:49 |
| pushkarik | jrib: ok, thanks | 10:50 |
| bjhaid | jrib: it just would not startup the servers, and when i run the script, it creates a test file | 10:50 |
| jrib | bjhaid: you have to check whether the test file was created at startup or not | 10:50 |
| bjhaid | jrib: okay | 10:50 |
| janedoe | alright, how do I fix these warnings: http://pastebin.com/wbURBk8V | 10:52 |
| Satisfied | anybody know where I can download Firefox 6 for ubuntu ? | 10:53 |
| auronandace | !firefox | Satisfied | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Satisfied: firefox is the default web browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion | To install plugins: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins | 10:53 |
| pushkarik | jrib: yes, it works now! thank you | 10:54 |
| bjhaid | jrib: the test file was created | 10:54 |
| jrib | pushkarik: no problem | 10:54 |
| jrib | bjhaid: this means the script was executed | 10:54 |
| gry | janedoe, good question | 10:54 |
| bjhaid | jrib: any reason why it wouldnt startup the server? | 10:55 |
| janedoe | the terminal tells me to check /var/log/rkhunter.log , how do I get there? | 10:55 |
| jrib | janedoe: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RKhunter . The author mentions those warnings are routine on an ubuntu system and suggests reading the faq for rkhunter | 10:55 |
| janedoe | ok thanks so far | 10:55 |
| DebiansArmy | janedoe: what error all I see is not shared libraries and mail warnings... that is just a log | 10:55 |
| bjhaid | jrib: what if i put echo bash vas.sh start in the script would that work? | 10:56 |
| DebiansArmy | janedoe: unless something is not working its just a warning | 10:56 |
| jerriy | gry: look at the result: https://imgur.com/OtJzA | 10:56 |
| jrib | bjhaid: hmm, not sure how that would help. But I would suggest redirecting stdout and stderr somewhere and seeing what's going wrong. Actually, you may check if there's anything interesting in ~/.xsession-errors first | 10:57 |
| adreanalink | I installed "flex" with checkinstall, but when I insall "libpcap" (that requires flex), it does not recognize it. What's the issue?! | 10:58 |
| jerriy | Can anybody help me how to access BBC page? >> https://imgur.com/OtJzA | 10:58 |
| bjhaid | jrib: i see where the error comes from, i would need to go dump that file in the root folder of my app | 10:58 |
| ikonia | jerriy: that's not a web page | 10:59 |
| jerriy | ikonia: what's it? | 10:59 |
| ikonia | jerriy: XML | 10:59 |
| ikonia | jerriy: are you trying to access the BBC player ? | 10:59 |
| jrib | bjhaid: not sure what you mean. But if you know what to do, go for it :D | 10:59 |
| jerriy | I'm trying to access the page (it's a page WITH a video) | 11:00 |
| ikonia | that's not the page, that's the xml that defines the video | 11:00 |
| jerriy | ikonia: but I do have access to the page in other websites so I know that the web address is a white page with a video | 11:01 |
| jrib | ikonia: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013y4gm seems to load up as a "normal looking" web page for me though | 11:01 |
| ikonia | it's not - it's an XML file | 11:01 |
| jerriy | ikonia: that's what I mean :) | 11:01 |
| jrib | jerriy: have you tried things like clearing cache? disabling extensions? firefox safe-mode? new firefox profile? fresh new ubuntu user? | 11:01 |
| jrib | jerriy: ... different browser? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | jrib: the page loads fine for me also | 11:02 |
| jerriy | jrib: yes I've done' that | 11:02 |
| jrib | jerriy: and what were the results in each case? | 11:02 |
| DebiansArmy | jerriy: depends on the browser if it loads correctly | 11:02 |
| raven | evolution only crosses out deleted messages instead of deleting it - what could be wrong? | 11:03 |
| jerriy | ALL other browsers I've already in my system (opera chrome...) show the page normally only firefox is causing me trouble (I suppose it's something to do with how it is set up but the question is WHAT? | 11:03 |
| jrib | jerriy: it is unlikely a setup issue if it doesn't happen with a fresh new ubuntu user | 11:04 |
| raven | evolution only crosses out deleted messages instead of deleting it - what could be wrong? | 11:04 |
| DebiansArmy | Well using firefox no problems ... Now its time to clean firefox up and see if you had added any add-ons that may change page layout... | 11:04 |
| jerriy | jrib: what issue is it then? | 11:04 |
| jerriy | DebiansArmy: depends on what? | 11:05 |
| jrib | jerriy: don't know. I'd google the error and scroll through the results while you wait | 11:05 |
| jrib | s/error/message | 11:05 |
| Satisfied | oh thats interesting, so firefox 5 and 6 are not available for ubuntu. I wonder why that is | 11:05 |
| auronandace | !info firefox | Satisfied | 11:06 |
| DebiansArmy | jerriy: Done webpage design before not all browsers are set to view all webpages in the exact layout... Try a couple flash websites with different browsers your going to get a different layout | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Satisfied: firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 (natty), package size 14799 kB, installed size 29868 kB | 11:06 |
| * jrib has firefox 5 in ubuntu... | 11:06 | |
| bjhaid | jrib: i see where the error is, i do not need to do it with root permission, anyway this can be done so i do not get it done as root? | 11:06 |
| jrib | bjhaid: can you show me the error? Your script isn't being run as root unless you are logging in as root | 11:07 |
| DebiansArmy | jerriy: you didn't happen to invert colors by pressing alt+n??? | 11:07 |
| jerriy | DebiansArmy: but what is making OTHER people's firefox (I assume some of you here have that) not blocking the page | 11:07 |
| Satisfied | ya but why have they made it so difficult to install? linux not good enough to run the latest versions in a stable way? | 11:07 |
| jrib | jerriy: if you have natty-updates or natty-security repositories (which you should), you will get firefox 5 through update manager | 11:08 |
| bjhaid | jrib: /etc/init.d/vas.sh: line 7: rackup: command not found | 11:08 |
| bjhaid | /etc/init.d/vas.sh: line 8: rails: command not found | 11:08 |
| bjhaid | jrib: i get this same errors when i try sudo bash /etc/init.d/vas.sh start | 11:08 |
| gry | jerriy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b013y4gm works for me, can you try to reinstall firefox and/or a new profile? http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing-profiles | 11:08 |
| jrib | bjhaid: easiest way is to just give the full command | 11:08 |
| jerriy | DebiansArmy: I have not inverted the colors | 11:08 |
| jrib | bjhaid: /usr/bin/whatever/rackup | 11:09 |
| andiolsi | hi, how can i include "universe" besides "main" in the initial debootstrap process (i want to auto-install "mingetty" when calling debootstrap)? | 11:09 |
| jerriy | jrib: it's Lucid lynx (long term release) | 11:09 |
| bjhaid | jrib: i dont understand you? | 11:09 |
| hamub | guys how do i populate Qtablewidget in pyqt4 | 11:09 |
| jrib | bjhaid: replace "rails" with the path to rails and "rackup" with the path to rackup. You can obtain the path for COMMAND by using « which command » | 11:09 |
| jrib | jerriy: sorry, wrong nick | 11:10 |
| bjhaid | jrib: i have changed the privileges of the file, so i think that's the problem, i think i need to remove those privileges | 11:10 |
| jrib | Satisfied: if you have natty-updates or natty-security repositories (which you should), you will get firefox 5 through update manager | 11:10 |
| daserfost | #join #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:11 |
| jerriy | gry: Is "nuking" the only option? I thought it was a simple question of tweaking some about-config or userchrome file or something | 11:11 |
| jrib | bjhaid: by the way, /etc/init.d isn't really the right place for a script you're executing through startup manager | 11:11 |
| stevennt123 | Install CD goes into Live instead of Install selection | 11:11 |
| bjhaid | jrib: where should i put it? | 11:11 |
| jrib | bjhaid: I'd suggest ~/bin | 11:12 |
| andiolsi | --components=main,universe works | 11:12 |
| DebiansArmy | jerriy: I don't know what u changed or what has changed for you ... jrib gives a solid answer that your browser could have updated to firefox 5... Mine keeps asking to update... But I'm not a beta tester or having any desire to mess with all of linux in this transition from grub to grub 2 to linux 3.0 there are lots of bugs system wide.... Slackware users may be the only safe users right now... | 11:12 |
| DebiansArmy | ...as long as they dont do updates | 11:12 |
| bjhaid | jrib: i would require root privileges to access /bin | 11:12 |
| hamub | guys how do i register my nickname | 11:13 |
| jrib | bjhaid: no, ~/bin. The ~ means: /home/bjhaid | 11:13 |
| jrib | !register | hamub | 11:13 |

| jerriy | DebiansArmy: I do have upgraded to FF 5 (despite the official Lucid firefox still being 3 | 11:13 |
| bjhaid | jrib: thanks, let me try again and see if it works | 11:13 |
| gry | jerriy: that is in no way a wise thing to do when things are borked - the default setup allows to view the page properly; you may need to run ``firefox -safe-mode' and see if the page loads then assuming you close Firefox entirely before doing that. If the safe mode does not help, you will need to reinstall Firefox (aptitude reinstall firefox) and re-try; then try the new profile like... | 11:13 |
| gry | ...described at that page. | 11:13 |
| jerriy | DebiansArmy: but FF3 is ancient ;-( | 11:14 |
| beginner | hai, is there any software that I can use | 11:14 |
| jrib | beginner: many :D | 11:14 |
| beginner | ops | 11:14 |
| beginner | sorry - lol | 11:14 |
| szal | beginner: >60k packages available for *buntu :P | 11:14 |
| beginner | is there any application that I can use that will let me enforce how long a user can login into the system ( I am talking about ssh) | 11:15 |
| beginner | as example - I want them to be disconnected from the system after 1 hour | 11:15 |

| jrib | beginner: just to be clear, you don't mean idle time of 1 hour, you want them logged off after 1 hour even if they are working on something? | 11:17 |
| DebiansArmy | jerriy: In what way, people run raids and have different video card support and needs not everyones system is the same... clean cache or reinstall firefox... I usually just reinstall programs that is the reason I do backups to cdrws or external hard drive... This is the price we pay to play.... I like the fact linux ubuntu, fedora, arch linux and rest of the linux community upgrades you... | 11:17 |

| urgru | I keep fai ling establishing wireless connection on ubuntu 11.04; PRO/Wireless 3945ABG; windows drivers installed; encryption and ap all tested. | 11:26 |
| blinkiz | yourmomlovesme, ok, I try | 11:27 |
| jrib | bjhaid: you replaced "rails" and that "*rack*" command with full path | 11:27 |
| jrib | bjhaid: ? | 11:27 |
| haaalp | ok since it's dead in ubuntu-beginners channel i'll ask here. If i choose to install the boot loader on /dev/sda1, will that affect my ntfs partition that i dont want deleted? | 11:27 |
| iceroot | haaalp: not sda1, use sda | 11:28 |
| yourmomlovesme | xpdf and gv show up in my graphics folder under applications | 11:28 |

| shLONG | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-bVOxD7aYo | 11:28 |
| bjhaid | jrib: that changes dir to where rails s and rackup commands should be run | 11:29 |
| blinkiz | DebiansArmy, Yeah, tried that. Converted the pdf to png and started to zoom. But the text is not rendered so it's just fuzzy | 11:29 |
| jrib | bjhaid: if you mean, that should sort out your path issues, it won't. If you really don't want to use the full path, then you need to change "rackup" to "./rackup" and "rails" to "./rails" | 11:29 |
| _aaron_ | jrib, ok thanks but i'm going to try something different it's been too long since i've used linux not since 5.04 | 11:29 |
| jrib | _aaron_: ok | 11:29 |
| haaalp | iceroot: wont that delete my ntfs partition that i want to keep? :O | 11:30 |
| bjhaid | jrib: rails s, and rackup and not files but commands to start up servers | 11:30 |

| yourmomlovesme | blinkiz, sudo apt-get install gv | 11:31 |
| jrib | bjhaid: give the full path then. Type "which rails" now and replace "rails" in your script with the output. Do the same for "rackup" | 11:31 |
| jrib | bjhaid: or are these some sort of aliases? | 11:31 |
| Polah | haaalp: No, it'll write over your Windows bootloader (if it's still there and which you don't want to keep) with GRUB. | 11:31 |

| blinkiz | yourmomlovesme, I installed Adobe Reader. I can not zoom up to 6400% | 11:33 |
| haaalp | jrib: it was, i've formated the C: partition and made it into an ext4 | 11:33 |

| yourmomlovesme | You can do 8 or 10 in the gv default | 11:33 |

| haaalp | so now i have like, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5, and /dev/sda5 is the one i dont want deleted when installing ubuntu... Because i keep all my personal/private stuff there. | 11:35 |

| jrib | bjhaid: both results, yes | 12:10 |
| systemclient | jrib: it entered a couple days ago | 12:10 |
| jrib | systemclient: I don't know the specifics, #ubuntu-motu is very helpful though :D | 12:10 |
| systemclient | jrib: I already asked there. ty | 12:10 |
| usr13 | bjhaid: Are you running GUI, if so, yu can create bin of your own, mkdir ~/bin Put your script there, and add it to the list of startup apps. | 12:10 |
| jrib | !packaging | systemclient | 12:11 |
| ubottu | systemclient: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 12:11 |
| jrib | systemclient: that NewPackages link may or may not be helpful too | 12:11 |
| bjhaid | urs13: let me give that a try | 12:11 |
| usr13 | bjhaid: May also want to add ~/bin to your path, but if you use the full path, it's not necessary. | 12:11 |
| systemclient | jrib: thanks for all the info. The package itself is all done in debian now, I just want to know when and how it will come to ubuntu. But I'll ask that in motu | 12:11 |

| rly | ikonia: ok, can I also use an ip address instead of a FQDN? | 12:57 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, open gconf-editor | 12:57 |
| usr13 | rileyp: apt-get -f install | 12:57 |
| ikonia | rly: a fqdn is better as it normally maps to the DC | 12:57 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, look under /apps/gnome-power-manager | 12:58 |
| rly | ikonia: what is a DC? | 12:58 |

| Sebo | Hi, I need to set up /etc/init/*.conf file for the job and I am thinking of proper *start on* and *stop on* stanzas. The job which I am defining will be responsible for running vboxheadless VM machine which I am going to assign one of the tty* terminals to (I am going to modify the /etc/init/tty4.conf so it will ssh to that VM). Could you direct me how to prepare that stanzas to make the VBox job starting and stopping at right order? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | rly: ok - you need to research ldap a bit more before jumping in | 12:58 |
| rly | Pici: I want to have a good address book. | 12:58 |
| rly | Pici: something which will last for 30+ years into the future. | 12:58 |

| rileyp | usr13 can I restart alsa without a reboot | 13:10 |
| edbian | vbnj: It's used to see which processes are using network but I think it can block them too. I probably shouldn't have to tell you that it is strange that the clock applet and conky are accessing port 80 | 13:11 |

| skim1776 | where can I find _vimrc file? | 13:14 |
| usr13 | rileyp: If you only see pulseaudio that is what you will have to restart. BUT, /dev/dsp will get created when you boot. Not sure why it didn't. Rebooting my re-create it, but don't know for sure. Why is it not there? I have no clue, but you'll not get sound without it. You might look at dmesg for clues. | 13:14 |
| vbnj | edbian, i don't kill them, i send them a SIGSTOP, which as named, stop the process, but don't kill it. If i agree that i could just not run conky, it's quite different for clock-applet by example. | 13:15 |

| rileyp | asher ps -ef -c | 13:44 |
| rly | sipior: should I install from openldap source? | 13:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | asher^, if you have webmin installed, it will tell you | 13:44 |
| zykotick9 | asher^, "ps aux | grep PROGRAMNAME" might give you an idea | 13:44 |
| sipior | rly: you could if you want. the schema are the critical thing here. | 13:44 |
| Pici | rly: Unless you're getting errors with openldap's instructions as well, I'd stuck with Ubuntu's packaging. | 13:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ok back with seriousness, my question is. i cant get my external hdd to mount. i get error saying that only root has privaledges to mount it | 13:44 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i believe i have properly edited fstab | 13:45 |
| asher^ | zykotick9 i can do that, can i get a number though? im talking about something in the hundreds | 13:45 |
| rileyp | then use sudo to mount it | 13:45 |
| rileyp | sudo mount -a | 13:45 |
| [THC]AcidRain | rileyp, but i want it to auto mount on every boot, what must i do to have it mounted? | 13:45 |
| rly | sipior: I would rather just use Ubuntu packages, but if they are broken (w.r.t. these schemas), then the choice is easily made. | 13:45 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Well, if you want to mount it as non-root, you have to add "user" among the HD options, similar to this: "/dev/sdz1 /mnt ext4 user,defaults 0 0" | 13:45 |
| rileyp | edit fstab is theer a line in fstab to mount your cd theer should be | 13:46 |
| Enox4 | usrl3- I'm downloading the 11.04 CD, perhaps I can burn it to a USB and it'll give me a 'boot from hard disk' option? | 13:46 |
| sipior | rly: as i said, the error is not critical (the duplicate won't hurt anything), so i wouldn't make too much out of it. | 13:46 |
| zykotick9 | asher^, "ps aux | grep PROGRAMNAME | wc -l" maybe? | 13:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin! i believe you are right. cause i remember reading that on google. let me try | 13:46 |
| === Guest868 is now known as jetsnoc | ||
| rly | sipior: ok, then I will try that. Thank you. | 13:46 |
| asher^ | thanks! | 13:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, it didnt work... | 13:47 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: As for mounting on bootup, make sure "noauto" is NOT along the mount options | 13:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ill pastebin my fstab | 13:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | http://pastebin.com/A6N7R2RM - fstab for my drive | 13:48 |
| freysteinn | coz_: Still not working. :( | 13:48 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, darn | 13:48 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: wtf is "acidrain" among mount options? | 13:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | its my username... | 13:48 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Bah! Not username. Just "user" | 13:48 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: That word as it is | 13:48 |
| freysteinn | coz_: Might be a driver issue. I'm using the proprietary ATI driver. | 13:49 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, ok this one is puzzling me... I have had this issue once in the past,, but reinstall , later fixed it,, not sure but let me check if I kept a txt file of a soluton,, I doubt it but I will check now hold on | 13:49 |
| uetlischwur | hi | 13:49 |
| usr13 | rileyp: Sorry, was on the phone. | 13:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, after making these changes it work! | 13:49 |
| usr13 | rileyp: Ok, have a good sleep. ttyl | 13:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | thanks man. | 13:49 |
| theadmin | usr13: Night. | 13:49 |
| Enox4 | usrl3- Welcome back. | 13:49 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: No problem. | 13:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | now my next issue, i was running pureadmin ftp server. and it seemed to give the user i created "ftpuser" full access to my comp | 13:50 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, it could be,, sounds half reasonable but not sure | 13:50 |
| === jonathan_ is now known as Guest73366 | ||
| [THC]AcidRain | why is this? based off the user permissions, i dont believe it should.. | 13:50 |
| Guest73366 | exit | 13:50 |
| rileyp | acid rain the only relavnt thing I can fin in my fstab is this proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 13:51 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, I have an old solution for xorg.conf but not sure if it still applies ,, of course you would have to create the xorg.conf,, so it may not be a good solution | 13:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | rileyp, what are you trying to do man? | 13:51 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, if all else fails http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/NO_SLEEP.txt | 13:52 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i think im just going to attempt to get ftpd-pro to work. it worked before on ubuntu 9.04 | 13:52 |
| rileyp | AcidRain nevr mind my bad it was asher | 13:52 |
| freysteinn | coz_: Ha ha, thanks. I'm throwing the proprietary driver away and checking if that changes anything. I only need 2D graphics. | 13:53 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, ah ok cool | 13:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ubuntu, like even using pure admin and creating virtual users that have a specific home directory, they still manage to get full access to my filesystem | 13:53 |
| freysteinn | coz_: I'm might also try a reinstall. This machine's only purpose is to show a webpage and will have no interaction. No keyboard nor mouse. | 13:54 |
| coz_ | freysteinn, if you do that,, make sure you redownload the iso ,, check the md5sum or use the mini iso for installation | 13:55 |
| coz_ | !mini | freysteinn ` | 13:55 |
| ubottu | freysteinn `: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 13:55 |

| Enox4 | Anyone have any other suggestions on getting my ubuntu machine back from "grub rescue>" ? No commands seem to be helpful. | 13:58 |
| Enox4 | The hard drives seem to be there, and without problems. | 13:58 |
| GrafVampir | and switching to another channel? | 13:58 |
| theadmin | GrafVampir: Наберите "/join #ubuntu-ru" (без кавычек) | 13:59 |

| melanie | *wave* | 14:00 |
| ionosphr1 | what's the freenode channel for misc topics? | 14:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, i get an error saying what ive alrdy said, and one saying "login incorrect" when i konw for a fact that the login and username is very correct | 14:02 |
| Pici | ionosphr1: Theres #defocus or #ubuntu-offtopic or #freenode if you're looking for a channel. | 14:02 |
| vinu | pls help | 14:02 |
| ionosphr1 | ahh defocus, thanks | 14:02 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, Ive never used filezilla. Possible its some configuration problem | 14:03 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, ive tried with firefox also. same issue | 14:03 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, the thing is... i get this with every ftp server i use | 14:03 |
| theadmin | ionosphr1: You could /msg alis list #*offtopic* or something like that | 14:04 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, running a firewall or iptables? | 14:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, actually im pretty sure its because the user ftpuser doesnt have priviledges to view its home directory i have set | 14:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, neither | 14:04 |
| Enox4 | I'm going to go run and buy some blank CD's | 14:04 |
| Enox4 | And see if 11.04 install can help me boot | 14:04 |
| Enox4 | I can't believe this machine just stopped booting with no apparent HDD failures. | 14:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | drwx------ 1 acidrain acidrain 4096 2011-08-15 08:58 My_Documents | 14:05 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, what are the folder and file permissions? I use rsync, and if the permissions arent right, it doesnt work well | 14:05 |
| [THC]AcidRain | as you can see other users have no access! | 14:05 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but i dont think it will even let me change permissions on it! | 14:05 |
| khf | enox4 reinstall grub might help | 14:05 |
| Enox4 | khf- How? | 14:06 |
| khf | i have had that happen | 14:06 |
| compdoc | you can always change permissions as root | 14:06 |
| Enox4 | grub rescue> seems to not support any commands. | 14:06 |
| uetlischwur | hello, could some1 mention be a good reason why "sudo cp -vr ~/big_folder" takes more time than copying the filder with nautilus? | 14:06 |
| uetlischwur | add on: nautilus is not in sudo mode | 14:06 |
| b0ot | How dangerous is it to dd from a live disk? | 14:06 |
| Enox4 | b0ot- You probably won't get a consistant image. | 14:06 |
| Enox4 | ie, things will change. And the destination will be messed up. | 14:07 |
| khf | well i used a boot disc to reinstall.grub | 14:07 |
| uetlischwur | b0ot: might happen that some files will be corrupted | 14:07 |
| Enox4 | khf- Once I get the boot disk, what do I do? | 14:07 |
| [THC]AcidRain | drwx------ 1 acidrain acidrain 4096 2011-08-15 08:58 My_Documents - doesnt do anything. yet no error message | 14:07 |
| b0ot | uetlischwur, Enox4 ok... but the original should be fine right? | 14:07 |
| iceroot | b0ot: the image after may be broken | 14:07 |
| theadmin | uetlischwur: -v can make certain terminals slow down because they need to process all the output. Try redirecting it to a logfile. | 14:07 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sudo chmod -rwxrwxrwx My_Documents/ *** | 14:07 |
| Enox4 | b0ot- Yes, be very careful not to screw up "if=" and "of=" | 14:07 |
| m_rite | hey guys, i don't want to type my password everytime i sudo something. so i put myusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL into /etc/sudoers but it's still asking for the pw. any suggestions? | 14:07 |
| b0ot | iceroot, will the one that was source be alright? | 14:07 |
| iceroot | [THC]AcidRain: dont!! use 777 | 14:07 |
| iceroot | b0ot: yes | 14:08 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, drwx------ limits it to one particular user, and nothing else | 14:08 |
| b0ot | I asked a friend to backup my harddrive and he dd'ed from the a live disk and I want to make it couldn't have hurt my original | 14:08 |
| theadmin | m_rite: That looks right, it shouldn't be asking for passwords this way. | 14:08 |
| khf | b0ot if you.mean from a live cd then it is ok | 14:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | iceroot, im just trying to make any type of change in permissiosn now | 14:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it wont let me change them | 14:08 |
| theadmin | m_rite: Did you edit sudoers manually or using visudo? If manually, it can fail | 14:08 |
| uetlischwur | theadmin: ok, i'll benchmark w/o -v option | 14:08 |
| iceroot | [THC]AcidRain: read-only mounted? | 14:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm.... how do i mount otherwise? | 14:09 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, you prolly need to stop the ftp service before making changes | 14:09 |
| m_rite | theadmin: first with nano, i tried with visudo later | 14:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, i tried that | 14:09 |
| compdoc | isnt there a config file that forces permissions? | 14:09 |
| b0ot | khf, no he used dd with the source partition as the one currently mounted at root. I'm going to redo it with a b0otable version of ubuntu | 14:09 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, i thought so | 14:09 |
| theadmin | m_rite: Is the line saying "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" located AFTER your entry, or BEFORE? | 14:09 |
| theadmin | m_rite: It has to be BEFORE it. | 14:10 |
| [THC]AcidRain | perhaps because its an ntfs system? or i could of sworn that i reformatted to ext3... | 14:10 |
| khf | that.is.the recommended.option | 14:10 |
| m_rite | it's before | 14:10 |
| theadmin | m_rite: Okay, now that's totally weird | 14:10 |
| uetlischwur | hi, copying 1.6GB within ~ 25 Minutes with ~1MB/s ... is that normal? | 14:10 |
| m_rite | yes. :D | 14:10 |
| theadmin | m_rite: Sounds like a bug to me | 14:10 |
| uetlischwur | hi, copying 1.6GB within ~ 25 Minutes with ~1MB/s ... is that normal? copy fomr hdd to pen drive | 14:11 |
| theadmin | uetlischwur: Pendrive? Yes, rather normal... I guess | 14:11 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, depends on the speed of the pen drive ,, some are slow | 14:11 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, rather the transfer speed can be slow on some | 14:11 |
| m_rite | theadmin: http://pastebin.com/8cRBC8LR | 14:12 |
| [THC]AcidRain | uetlischwur, ive never seen it that slow | 14:12 |
| khf | i usually get.faster speeds | 14:12 |
| uetlischwur | theadmin: coz_ [THC]AcidRain it's a corsair pen drive... i know it can do more than 1.5 MB | 14:12 |
| uetlischwur | theadmin: coz_ [THC]AcidRain it's a corsair pen drive... i know it can do more than 1.5 MB/s | 14:12 |

| theadmin | m_rite: Put the line with your username at the very bottom of the file. | 14:13 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, what type of files are being transferred? | 14:13 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: random... mostly documents, pdf, images... no vids | 14:14 |
| m_rite | theadmin: seems to work | 14:14 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, ok then that sounds slow ,,, | 14:14 |
| m_rite | theadmin: thanks | 14:14 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: how can i find out if i use a usb1 port | 14:14 |
| theadmin | m_rite: Also, normally usernames do not contain uppercase letters... Did you adduser --force-badname? | 14:14 |
| theadmin | m_rite: That can give you problems. Just saying :D | 14:14 |
| khf | vinu windows will overwrite your.main.boot sector so you will need to.reinstall grub.to.boot ubuntu again | 14:14 |
| uetlischwur | i use fat on the pendrive | 14:15 |
| m_rite | theadmin: i only have lowercase usernames | 14:15 |

| m_rite | theadmin: but thanks for the info :) | 14:15 |
| uetlischwur | usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 | 14:15 |

| amin` | x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/lightdm -nodaemon doesnot start the lightdm and I went straight to tty. what should i do to run it? | 14:16 |
| theadmin | m_rite: later definitions overwrite earlier ones. | 14:16 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: usb1 speed is 1.5 Mbit/s or 12Mbit/s | 14:16 |
| theadmin | m_rite: So, since %admin definition was later, it was more important. | 14:16 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: usb2 speed is maximum bandwidth of 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s) (now called "Hi-Speed") | 14:16 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, so that is about the rate of transfer you are having ... yes? | 14:16 |
| m_rite | theadmin: i see, thanks | 14:17 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: got that from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB2 | 14:17 |
| === Gujs_ is now known as Gujs | ||
| ThinkT510 | amin`: what distro do you use? | 14:17 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, so you are having usb1 transfer rates ...yes? | 14:17 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: ok, right now the file transfer dialoge shows me 2.7MB/sec | 14:17 |
| larryone | !compiz | 14:17 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 14:17 |
| amin` | ThinkT510: Iwant to add lightdm to inittab | 14:17 |
| === vastu is now known as pgulley | ||
| === ru6yxx is now known as cheekee | ||
| uetlischwur | coz_: so it's 20Mbit | 14:18 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, I would test it , ,when that is finished, with individual files,, to see if the transfer rate increases | 14:18 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: so it has to be usb2 | 14:18 |
| ThinkT510 | amin`: ok, let me rephrase: why are you crossposting in #ubuntu and #archlinux ? | 14:18 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, unless you have a reallly ancient system,, it's likely usb2 | 14:18 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: so it seems to be a very slow usb2 | 14:18 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: no, its a 2 year old netbook | 14:18 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, it could be a caching issue ,, I have a 4 gig pen drive ,, it started out painfully slow, now it is speedy,, what happend? I have no idea | 14:19 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, that 2 year old netbook most definitly is usb2 | 14:19 |
| compdoc | when I log into a computer with VNC and run the Update-Manager, if it requires a reboot and I click Restart, the machine doesnt restart. Gnome quits (the desktop goes away) but it stops there. Update-Manager remains running, but its stuck - cant open a terminal or anything. I have to logon with SSH and issue sudo reboot. Any ideas? | 14:19 |
| theadmin | amin`: If you have Arch, you just modify the DAEMONS=() array in rc.conf. As for Ubuntu, "man update-rc.d" | 14:20 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: ok, on the other hand... i started copying and then asked here ... i asked 16:10 now it's 16:20 | 14:20 |
| Atharva | vinu : I dont know whether this steps will work or not but still take it as an experiment and in WinXP go to Start-Run-msconfig | 14:20 |
| amin` | ThinkT510: because first the arch buddyies are bunch of underage kids and the second lightdm is the launchpad project and the third i appropriate the help. and I know i am wrong to do it here but here is the best | 14:20 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, whoa,, how far into the transfer is it now? | 14:20 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: finished | 14:20 |
| amin` | theadmin: how about inittab? | 14:20 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: so its 1.6GB in 10 minutes | 14:20 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, ok test a single file to see what the transfer rate it | 14:21 |
| bazhang | amin`, are you using ubuntu | 14:21 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, that is a long time for 1.6 gigs | 14:21 |
| theadmin | amin`: Got nothing to do with inittab. | 14:21 |
| ThinkT510 | amin`: i feel you should know that ubuntu uses upstart and arch doesn't by default | 14:21 |
| amin` | bazhang: as an chroot media | 14:21 |
| ThinkT510 | !init | amin` | 14:21 |
| ubottu | amin`: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 14:21 |
| bazhang | amin`, chroot to archlinux? | 14:21 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: is is 21Mbit/sec | 14:21 |
| amin` | bazhang: yes | 14:21 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, mmm | 14:22 |
| theadmin | amin`: And, ThinkT510 is right. Arch uses a BSD-style SystemD boot system. It's TOTALLY different, and Ubuntu people will *not* be able to help you with that. | 14:22 |
| amin` | ThinkT510: any idea about inittab? | 14:22 |
| theadmin | amin`: Go to #archlinux | 14:22 |
| amin` | theadmin: again sorry | 14:22 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: i got few FAT: Directory bread(block 15356) failed in dmesg... | 14:22 |
| bazhang | amin`, this is ubuntu support not arch support please dont ask further | 14:22 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, ah oh... ok that one I am not sure of | 14:23 |
| uetlischwur | but that was before attaching the pendrive coz_ | 14:23 |
| ThinkT510 | theadmin: he is there, he crossposted | 14:23 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, oh ok so that single file suggests that it is transferring properly...yes? | 14:23 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: i didn't do any single files now.. only my big folder | 14:23 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: let me go for a big file | 14:23 |
| amin` | Guys, lightdm is launchpad project. even arch compiles it straight out off launchpad | 14:24 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, oh ok,, well at that speed it sounds right | 14:24 |
| amin` | again sorry | 14:24 |
| bazhang | amin`, dont be sorry, just stop asking | 14:24 |
| amin` | Look at the difference between 2 channels | 14:24 |
| theadmin | amin`: Sooo? You're not asking for lightdm help | 14:24 |
| theadmin | amin`: You're asking for systemd help, which is not only *not* an Ubuntu project, but even totally unsupported in Ubuntu. | 14:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | wow. gparted is a waste of time. as far as out-of-the-box work goes | 14:25 |
| ionosphr1 | /join/j #defocus | 14:25 |
| Pici | amin`: Ubuntu is also a project that is built on Launchpad. But that doesn't mean that they have anything else in common. | 14:25 |
| amin` | theadmin: you mean for inittab option i need systemd installed | 14:25 |
| theadmin | bazhang: Thanks. | 14:26 |
| theadmin | Gee. | 14:26 |
| bazhang | [THC]AcidRain, actual support issue with it? | 14:26 |
| [THC]AcidRain | bazhang, it just wont do anything. always says pending | 14:26 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it will detect devices, then when i tell it to do something. it just pends | 14:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 - is this not the way to change filesystem? | 14:28 |
| bazhang | [THC]AcidRain, the devices are still mounted? | 14:28 |
| [THC]AcidRain | bazhang, no sir | 14:28 |
| coz_ | [THC]AcidRain, i would check that to be sure just in case | 14:28 |
| [THC]AcidRain | well actually i get an error saying device is busy | 14:29 |
| theadmin | coz_: If the device is mounted, it'll say "Device mounted - will not make filesystem here!" | 14:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but when i do sudo umount /dev/sdb1 i get device not mounted | 14:29 |
| coz_ | theadmin, understood | 14:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | in gparted, it says the filesystem is ext3... with sudo fdisk -l, it says file system is ntfs... | 14:30 |
| [THC]AcidRain | why? | 14:30 |
| [THC]AcidRain | which one should i trust? | 14:30 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: ok, i stoped with a swatch and got 5646.4Mb in 170 seconds one big movie file... results in 33.2 Mb/s | 14:31 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: fdisk often acts weirdly, try cfdisk | 14:31 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, thats much better | 14:31 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Also, you can't mkfs if you have gparted running | 14:31 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, I am not sure then why that first attempt was sl slow | 14:31 |
| auronandace | [THC]AcidRain: have you applied changes in gparted? | 14:32 |
| coz_ | so slow | 14:32 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, i didnt have it running | 14:32 |
| [THC]AcidRain | auronandace, i just reopened gparted and it said it was not a ext3 after i ran the terminal command | 14:32 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: top speed for usb2 is 480Mb/s ... even if i consider overhead with 50% i am at 33Mb/s comapred to 240Mb/s :( | 14:33 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cfdisk is very scary. where should it say what filesystem it is? | 14:33 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, i dont have an answer... maybe check in #hardware or ##linux,,, someone in either place may have a better explanation than I do | 14:33 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Um, oh... right, it doesn't even deal with filesystems. Just see if the disk type is "Linux", it'd help | 14:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, Pri/Log Free Space 160031.05 | 14:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | thats only information... | 14:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | under FS Type, it says "Free Space" | 14:34 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Um, then there is no partition at all. That's quite... weird. | 14:35 |

| thunsucker | has anyone used the Minimal cd image of 11.04 with vbox? | 14:35 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, well i think this happened when i ran sudo mkfs.ext3 | 14:35 |
| coz_ | thunsucker, not with vbox no | 14:35 |
| ThePendulum | Hey. I've got a problem. Everytime my PC returns from Suspend, my internet connection isn't working. I've tried disconnecting/reconnecting, and to disable/enable networking. The only thing that seems to work is to physically plug in/out my internet cable | 14:35 |
| thunsucker | coz_: i think it has a problem or two, i think i'll stick with 10.04 | 14:36 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, what version of ubuntu do you have | 14:36 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: 11.04 | 14:36 |
| coz_ | thunsucker, the mini iso works well ,, however , as i said , I have not tried it with vbox,, it may indeed have an issue with it that I am not aware of | 14:36 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, hmmm i know that 10.04 had a lot of issues with that | 14:36 |
| thunsucker | coz_, yes i've used it many many times but tried 11.04 the other day and it didn't go so well | 14:37 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: I guess they haven't been solved in 11.04 yet :O Or I'm just doing something incredibly wrong | 14:37 |
| coz_ | thunsucker, did you try the live cd in vbox for 11.04 ? | 14:37 |
| thunsucker | coz_, no this site has low bandwidth, and i'm impatient lol | 14:37 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i dont even trust gparted | 14:37 |
| [THC]AcidRain | it does things way to fast | 14:37 |
| coz_ | thunsucker, oh :) | 14:37 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i click on "create new partition ext3" and it creates it yet says pending... | 14:38 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, jus ta moment let me look around, is it a desktop or laptop? | 14:38 |
| coz_ | [THC]AcidRain, out of curiosity,, how large is the drive? | 14:38 |
| [THC]AcidRain | 160gig | 14:38 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: It's a desktop. It's a physical connection, not wi-fi | 14:38 |
| ThinkT510 | [THC]AcidRain: after you make your changes, you need to click apply | 14:39 |
| szal | [THC]AcidRain: in my experience GParted does nothing before you click Accept | 14:39 |
| [THC]AcidRain | sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 -is my exact command | 14:39 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm... ok. i didnt see accept button. let me try after this is done formatting | 14:39 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, found a thread that is new that talks about your problem, sounds like they made a change to the way acpi handles networking on suspend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1777685 | 14:40 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: I had weird issues during installation as well. At the timezone window, the installation would freeze unless I would install it without internet connection. | 14:40 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: Does the thread solve the issue as well? | 14:40 |

| Enox4 | Burning 11.04 now to try and reinstall grub. :) | 14:41 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: My network card is built into the motherboard. Allow me a minute to find out more details about it | 14:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Pici, believes in second chances ;) | 14:42 |
| Enox4 | Any hints on how to do that, or is it totally obvious? | 14:42 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, if i had to guess i would say it's a broadcom | 14:42 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: I never heard of broadcom before regarding my PC, so I doubt it | 14:42 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ok i got gparted running | 14:43 |
| [THC]AcidRain | good advice for clicking on accept button :) | 14:43 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, give that link a try, it's modern and it seems there is an off and on option, try both to see what happens | 14:43 |
| Enox4 | is "/boot/grub" the default ubuntu grub path? | 14:44 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: Would you mind directing me to the actual link? Thanks :p | 14:44 |
| theadmin | Enox4: Yeah. | 14:44 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: thx for your support! | 14:44 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: A found it, I missed it. Sorry! | 14:44 |
| Enox4 | Do I need to specify which LVM LV is boot? | 14:44 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, sorry I coiuldnt explain it better | 14:44 |

| thunsucker | ThePendulum, all good | 14:45 |
| [THC]AcidRain | test | 14:45 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: nevermind... it was not a serious question... i'll maybe but windows later and copy the same file for benchmark | 14:45 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, sounds like a plan :) did you check in those other channels? | 14:45 |
| carl- | has there been any known bugs related to the mouse lately | 14:45 |
| [THC]AcidRain | dude wtf | 14:46 |
| coz_ | carif, what type of mouse? | 14:46 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: The thread seems to deal with wireless connections that become invisible. I am using a physical cable connection, and it's visible after suspend, but it just won't connect | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | fdisk says its a linux fs, gparted says same thing. but now "blkid" says this: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="Server" UUID="36600BB8600B7E3D" TYPE="ntfs" | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ... | 14:46 |
| carl- | coz_: normal usb i think | 14:46 |
| coz_ | carif, if it is not a lazer mouse it should work,, what issues are you having? | 14:46 |
| [THC]AcidRain | again, which one should i believe? | 14:47 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: I think you should reboot before checking blkid | 14:47 |
| thunsucker | ThePendulum, the same principle applies. wireless will acti differently with the same problem vs wired. The thread is about acpi suspending the networking and freezing or not becoming available. therefore it should still apply | 14:47 |
| carl- | coz_: my mother called .. she had some trouble .. and bought a new one .. she thought that it was the mouse .. and tried another port same thing .. although keyboard works fine | 14:47 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: no, i have exams in digital technics tomorrow and compied my folder with important documents to bring it to a firends... so i have more urgent things to do and just tought i might ask here as long as it copies :P | 14:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, will a logout/in work? | 14:47 |
| uetlischwur | compied = copied | 14:47 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Actually, just try to force-mount it as a Linux drive, like: sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /mnt | 14:47 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, ah ok ,, completely understood | 14:47 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: If it works, it's Linux :D | 14:47 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: no offence :) | 14:48 |
| coz_ | carif, mm,, the mouse is not working at all or is it exhibiting some glitches? | 14:48 |
| ThePendulum | thunsucker: I'll have another look at it. Thank you for reminding me of the word 'wired' by the way. And thank you for your support! :) | 14:48 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, none taken :) | 14:48 |
| carl- | coz_: not working at all | 14:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, well i didnt get an error... yet it also didnt mount | 14:48 |
| uetlischwur | coz_: but as i see you hanging around here many times, i report back once exmas are over :) (and i didn't forget :P ) | 14:48 |
| coz_ | carif, ah oh... how many usb ports are on that system? | 14:48 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: It didn't? | 14:48 |
| carl- | coz_: im a bit unsure i must confess | 14:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | no sir :( | 14:49 |
| coz_ | uetlischwur, yes please,, i would be interested if anyone has a decent explanation :) | 14:49 |

| coz_ | carif, well if she can,, try moving the mouse usb plug to another port,, | 14:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cause its not on my desktop... thats where everything mounts to | 14:49 |
| theadmin | wooy: 10.04 LTS, server edition | 14:49 |
| carl- | coz_: she did . .and it didnt helt | 14:49 |
| carl- | p | 14:49 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: False. That's how Gnome does it. We mounted with the terminal. | 14:49 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: Run "nautilus /mnt" | 14:49 |
| albo | hi all. installing 11.04 server i386 on an old toshiba a10. Install isn't detecting the disk, and gives me a list of drivers to choose from. Any ideas? | 14:49 |
| wooy | theadmin: thx | 14:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, yeah its there... but its also named lost+found | 14:50 |
| coz_ | carl-, do you know if it is an optical mouse or ball mouse? | 14:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | lol | 14:50 |
| carl- | coz_: optical i think | 14:50 |
| coz_ | do they still make ball mouse? | 14:50 |
| carl- | coz_: at least the new one | 14:50 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | coz_: yeah they do :P | 14:51 |
| carl- | and .. well as said . its the same with both | 14:51 |
| coz_ | TheEvilPhoenix, yikes :) | 14:51 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: That's an ext3/ext4 filesystem folder for damaged files | 14:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | theadmin, so i can delete it? | 14:51 |
| theadmin | [THC]AcidRain: No, infact it won't let you | 14:51 |
| coz_ | carl-, this is puzzling,, unless the usb ports stopped working,,, has she tried rebooting with the new mouse plugged in? | 14:51 |
| carl- | coz_: yes .. and it does not work .. and the keyboard work well on the same port | 14:52 |
| coz_ | carif, also ,, if you have any other usb device,, plug it in to see if the ports are actually working | 14:52 |
| coz_ | carif, sorry wrong nick | 14:52 |
| thunsucker | carl-, sounds like you will have to drive out to see whats up | 14:52 |
| coz_ | carl-, mm so the mouse itself is the issue.. | 14:52 |
| carif | coz_, np | 14:52 |
| thunsucker | carl-, not much you can do from here unless you like look at the logs | 14:52 |
| carl- | noop | 14:53 |
| carl- | thunsucker: probably right about that | 14:53 |
| coz_ | carl-, yeah ,, personally I would want to be in physical contact with the machine to test it | 14:53 |
| carl- | thanks anyways guys | 14:53 |
| carl- | im off then | 14:53 |

| aj00200 | Where can I check if there will be an updated version of gobject-introspection included in 11.10? | 15:16 |

| shinsuke | is it possible to make windows-like filesystem links in linux? | 15:16 |
| jrib | shinsuke: no, you can only make superior symbolic links | 15:17 |

| G00053 | how can i fix grub so both my fedora and ubuntu show up ? right now only fedora shows | 15:18 |
| jrib | Silentmyst: find doesn't search inside text files | 15:18 |
| theadmin | Silentmyst: When viewing the manpage, hit the / (slash) key, and type whatever you want to search for, then hit Enter | 15:18 |
| olle | #gambit | 15:19 |

| gary_inNYC | thunsucker: it uses fat32 | 16:38 |

| txomon | Dexo, installing the server first? | 17:04 |

| txomon | Dexo, it would be as having 2 ubuntus at the same time | 17:05 |
| Pici | Dexo: You can, I just don't see the use, since they are the same thing, just with different packages installed. | 17:05 |
| TheWarden | usr13: no its not a desktop pc... it is used in an application environment or says as a STB (set-top-box).. | 17:06 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: I see. Let look and see if I can find an answer. (I don't know.) | 17:06 |
| IdleOne | Dexo: you can host your game server at the same time as running the desktop, all with the same single Ubuntu install. | 17:06 |
| Dexo | pici: would be running ubuntu desktop without the X be the same as Server? | 17:06 |
| TheWarden | usr13: I've been searching online for an answer but no luck so far. | 17:06 |
| lupo_ | ao | 17:06 |
| b0whunter | hi | 17:06 |
| blackhat | hai friends | 17:06 |
| Pici | txomon: Okay, lets do this: sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available | 17:06 |
| Dexo | IdleOne: but i dont want desktop lagging the server. it uses resources | 17:07 |
| txomon | Pici, done | 17:07 |
| Pici | txomon: Then: sudo dpkg --clear-avail; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:07 |
| Pici | Dexo: So you can turn off the service that provides the desktop environment. | 17:07 |
| Fidde | Hi | 17:07 |
| Fidde | I | 17:07 |
| konsumer | Hi | 17:08 |
| Dexo | Pici: how would i do that? im newish to ubuntu. | 17:08 |
| IdleOne | Dexo: you can only boot one instance of Ubuntu at a time. Yes, you could install both server and Desktop on different partitions but you would only be able to boot to one of those and use it. | 17:08 |
| Pici | Dexo: sudo service gdm stop or start | 17:08 |
| Dexo | IdleOne: yes i know that | 17:08 |
| Fidde | I got an eee pc and want to install ubuntu netbook edition with wubi. But whan I choose ubuntu netbook and then start the installation I get the message that It can't download it | 17:08 |
| Dexo | Pici: and sudo server gdm start to re-enable the X? | 17:09 |
| Pici | Dexo: service, not server. But yes. | 17:09 |
| xangua | Fidde: just install regular ubuntu | 17:09 |
| xangua | !une | Fidde | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Fidde: Starting with Ubuntu 11.04, the Ubuntu Netbook Edition is no longer being offered as a separate install as Unity is now standard for all Ubuntu desktop installs. | 17:09 |
| txomon | Pici, there is something strange in that file, its binary at the begging | 17:09 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: Looking at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bypassing-fsck/ but not really applicable | 17:09 |
| Fidde | ok | 17:09 |
| Dexo | Pici: yea (typo) | 17:09 |
| Pici | txomon: Did you recently have an issue where you lost power, or had to hard-shutdown or similar? | 17:10 |
| Guest68605 | trying irssi | 17:10 |
| Dexo | Pici: restarting the computer would also re-enable the X right? | 17:10 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: Actually, the above URL may contain the correct method, adding to the end of the kernel line.... | 17:11 |
| Fidde | Anyone know if eee pc suports 64 bits os? | 17:11 |
| b0whunter | Anyone else having problems with flightgear | 17:11 |
| Pici | Dexo: Correct. | 17:12 |
| Dexo | ok ty | 17:12 |
| Dexo | gonna try it now | 17:12 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: "Force fsck on boot using /forcefsck" | 17:12 |
| ThinkT510 | Fidde: look up what processor you got | 17:12 |

| ThinkT510 | Fidde: short answer: yes 64bit | 17:14 |
| Pici | txomon: Well, a corrupt file such as that is one of the things that can happen if you don't shut down properly. | 17:14 |
| txomon | Pici, isnt there any way to reset it? | 17:15 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | when i vnc into my machine, after i type in the password. it says vnc connection closed, whats wrong? i think the pw is correct | 17:15 |
| txomon | Pici, cant i just delete it? | 17:15 |
| Pici | txomon: did you try that second set of commands that I gave you? | 17:15 |
| konsumer | AndroidLoverInSF, Have you tried connecting with out a password, just to be sure it works at all? | 17:16 |
| TheWarden | usr13: interesting but those solutions a to either skip or bypass file system check. I want to still have file system check but with default responses when it prompts to eliminate user interaction. | 17:17 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: But the bottom line is that a server farm that does not have backup power (generator) / and / or ups's is not a good very good server farm. (Especially if it is in an area where there are power-outages often. | 17:18 |
| Fidde | When connecting to my wireless network the computer goes to text mode. | 17:18 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: Yea, I know. Not really relevant. But was thiking... | 17:18 |
| Fidde | and it sais panic occurred, switching back to text console | 17:18 |
| txomon | Pici, it worked | 17:19 |
| Pici | txomon: great! | 17:19 |
| txomon | or at least it seems to | 17:19 |
| TheWarden | usr13: yes I agree with you but I have to deal with reality. Reality is not everyone will get or understand the importance of a UPS. These systems are not owned my me nor do I have physically control over them. I just want to give answers to the prompts... as nothing is more annonying then having a prompt sit there and not fully bootup cause its waiting for someone to answer. | 17:19 |
| usr13 | TheWarden: ... that It may be a clue as to a method of some other sort, because I just don't know how to alter fsck intervention at boot time. | 17:19 |
| TheWarden | when no one is there watching it to be answered. | 17:20 |
| TheWarden | usr13: oh okay, well thanks for your help. | 17:20 |
| Fidde | can someone help me? :) | 17:20 |

| juhpel | If I'm dual booting Windows and Ubuntu and wanted to use one data storage hard disk partition from both systems, should I format the partition as ext4 or ntfs or some other? (I couldn't find any ext4 file system drivers for windows) | 17:22 |
| ThinkT510 | juhpel: ntfs | 17:23 |
| juhpel | ok, thanks | 17:23 |
| theadmin | juhpel: ntfs | 17:23 |
| theadmin | juhpel: Or fat32 | 17:23 |
| ThinkT510 | juhpel: if you know you won't be dealing with files bigger than 4gb then fat32 is an alternative | 17:23 |

| \DSAFEW\ | famine, device-drivers->video cards->here maybe | 17:36 |
| BluesKaj | tarfart, how are you assigning it | 17:36 |
| tarfart | sudo ifconfig eth3 192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 17:36 |
| txomon | Pici, do you know the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade | 17:36 |
| trism | famine: also, in make menuconfig, you can type / and then type a search string to search config names (in this case, DRM is probably useful) | 17:37 |
| Pici | txomon: I do... but this factoid is faster (and I wrote the factoid so theres that)... | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | tarfart, you should do static in /etc/network/interfaces and set nm to use static | 17:37 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | txomon | 17:37 |

| hazz | hi guys i got a little problem setting a ssh -x from a backtrack pc to a ubuntu laptop, i'm not able to see the ubuntu remote desktop | 17:41 |
| hazz | any help will be appreciated | 17:41 |
| BluesKaj | tarfart, sorry that was comma in init.d by mistake if you copied and pasted | 17:41 |
| tsimpson | hazz: ssh does not send the remote desktop, it just allows you to run remote applications on your local X server | 17:42 |
| llutz | hazz: -x diables X-forwarding and ssh doesn't do remote-desktop at all | 17:42 |
| Pici | hazz: also, keep in mind that the switch you'd likely want to use is -X, not -x | 17:42 |
| hazz | tsimpson, how can i view my remote desktop so. | 17:43 |
| thrillERboy | hazz: SSH and Remote desktop are different, ssh gives you access to remote machines CLI | 17:43 |
| Dulak | hazz: you can setup a vnc, or nxserver, or xrdp on the remote side to get a desktop type interface | 17:43 |
| hazz | sorry i miswrited | 17:43 |
| sushil__ | Blueskaj : I was disconnect due to loose connection of DSL wire. But once I disconnected ..it takes 5 min. to reconnect again ..I dont know if its the problem with Ubuntu or with my laptop | 17:44 |
| tsimpson | hazz: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH | 17:44 |
| hazz | but many years ago i was able to view the remote desktop just with ssh, but right now i do not remeber how | 17:44 |
| Dulak | hazz: ssh -X will let you do something like 'sudo wireshark -i eth0' on the remote side and see the wireshark window on your local machine. to see a desktop you need a remote desktop daemon running on the remote side. | 17:45 |
| Tohuw | hazz: perhaps with X11 forwarding or... Dulak just beat me to the other possibility. | 17:45 |
| hazz | tsimpson, thanks and other as well, infact i configured the X11 forwarding | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | sushil__, if you have a loose connection then it's probly your laptop cycling thru several tries to connect until it finally does so. | 17:46 |
| sushil__ | Blueskaj : ya Blueskaj , I tries several times , but I understands that after a certain time only it reconnect | 17:47 |
| sushil__ | Blueskaj : I understands that when the session time out then it reconnect agian | 17:48 |

| Dulak | sushil__: you can learn it pretty well in a week, maybe two if you're really not technical | 17:53 |
| Dulak | sushil__: as with anything learning it and mastering it are different things, but python is very easy on a novice | 17:53 |
| BluesKaj | sushil__, I have very little experience with python, only some scripts , just auser | 17:53 |
| sushil__ | BluesKaj : I am using the DSL config in network manager | 17:53 |
| BluesKaj | sushil__, yes the network manager should work in wifi mode if your router is wifi capable | 17:54 |

| wahben | Hello Ubuntu community, I am having this really annoying problem which I want to resolve today, every once in a while my douns stops working, usually after my browser stays open for too long. killall firefox-bin and flashplayer processes does not resolve this, and restart gnome session doesn't either. I need to reboot the computer every time | 17:54 |
| wahben | Is there a way to find out which process is using my sound device? | 17:54 |
| sushil__ | Dulak : sorrt 2 & 3 | 17:54 |
| Dulak | sushil__: there are technical differences, 2 is entrenched, 3 is starting to get adopted. If you want to work with anything legacy you use 2. If you want to write an entire something from scratch, you use 3. | 17:55 |
| sushil__ | Dulak : which version we use for Ubuntu | 17:56 |
| Dulak | sushil__: it's still 2 | 17:56 |
| hazz | wahben, ps -x|grep '*the module of your sound processor' give a try | 17:56 |
| ThinkT510 | sushil__: 2 is default, 3 is available in repos | 17:56 |
| Dulak | sushil__: the only distro to move to 3 is arch, afaik. | 17:56 |
| sushil__ | Dulak : So its mean migrating to 3 will be little expensive | 17:56 |
| sushil__ | Dulak ; In case of time | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | wahben, which device is your soundcard ? , lspci -nn | grep -i audio | 17:57 |
| === RNAndyB_ is now known as RNAndyB | ||
| Dulak | sushil__: like I said, use 2 if you want to use the majority of python code out there. Use 3 for something you write from scratch. | 17:57 |

| wahben | BluesKaj, sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* | 17:58 |

| BluesKaj | wahben, let's start over , what's the problem with your audio ? | 18:02 |
| Dulak | sushil__: something to think about too, most distros will transition to 3 over the next 5 years or so. | 18:02 |

| RNAndyB | I am trying to mount a floppy disk. Weather it auto mounts or I mount it with "sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0" it says it works fine, but if I add files to it,remove the disk and put it in another machine nothing is on the disk.The files I add to the disk just get added to /media/floppy0 as a normal directory.If I try to umount /dev/fd0 it says the device is not mounted,even directly after I mount it.The disk is formatted as Fat12 with "mkdosfs -F 12 / | 18:02 |
| RNAndyB | dev/fd0".Any ideas why it may not mount? | 18:02 |
| wahben | BluesKaj, The problem is that the sound on my system frequently stops working, and I need to restart the computer for sound to start working again | 18:03 |
| sushil__ | Dulak : Ok Dulak , so you suggest to start with 2 for the time being | 18:03 |
| imark | there are too many programs using 2 for now, they wont remove it yet | 18:03 |
| lawker | As I expected | 18:03 |
| wahben | BluesKaj, and even killing all firefox-bin and flash processes, and restarting the session doesn't help | 18:03 |
| Dulak | sushil__: it depends on what you are wanting to do with it. | 18:03 |
| sushil__ | dulak : can we build Graphical Interfaces also with the Python2 | 18:04 |
| BluesKaj | wahben, well , if you don't mind only being able to listen to only one audio stream at a time then I would remove pulseaudio | 18:04 |
| lawker | Transition from 2-->3 won't be a big deal in terms of learning the changes. Let the frameworks you are interested in drive where you start | 18:04 |
| Dulak | sushil__: yes there are libraries for making gui programs in python | 18:04 |
| wahben | BluesKaj, So basically you think it's pulseaudio being buggy? | 18:05 |
| Pici | sushil__, everyone else: #python would be a better place to continue, as #ubuntu is really for Ubuntu support. | 18:05 |
| BluesKaj | wahben, yup, seems to have sticky problems | 18:05 |
| wahben | BluesKaj, I don't mind the issue too much, I just wish there was a simple way to restart it w/o rebooting the whole system, kinda drives me nuts | 18:06 |
| wahben | .. I just want to listen to music while I work ;p | 18:06 |

| wahben | BluesKaj, anyways, thanks all. I really hope that 11.10 is going to be greatly improved, 11.04 has been nothing but trouble so far | 18:07 |
| Dulak | sushil__: np, come into #python anytime | 18:07 |
| BluesKaj | wahben, pulseaudio is just a layer of of sounderserver processing that's basically redundant for ppl who don't listen to or network several audio stremas simultaneously | 18:07 |

| baha | hi, I have an AMD alptop does ubuntu.i386 work for it, I noticed there is an iso for amd64, what should I do? | 18:29 |
| acicula | maybe they are ub -offtopic? | 18:29 |
| acicula | baha: yes it will | 18:29 |
| baha | thanks, acicula, another question can I copy my programs from my intel laptop to the new amd one? | 18:30 |
| chaospsychex | baha: the x64 ISO is for 64-bit cpu's | 18:30 |
| acicula | baha: err misread, both should work, but amd64 should be fine unless you have an older computer | 18:30 |
| devil | volare | 18:31 |
| acicula | baha: the architectures are all the same in that respect so you can copy over programs | 18:32 |
| romenov | hi, has anyone tried downgrading his php version from 5.3 to 5.2 on 11.04? | 18:32 |
| gr33n7007h | does anybody know how to get the broadcom sta driver working | 18:32 |
| acicula | baha: but depending on what you mean by programs you might rather want to install programs using the ubuntu installer | 18:33 |
| acicula | romenov: does 11.04 have a 5.2 php package? | 18:33 |
| romenov | acicula: no clue :/ | 18:34 |
| baha | acicula, I don't want to waste time, I have a laptop that has my programs on it and want the same on the new one, what can I do, would copying some folder from root do the trick? | 18:34 |
| acicula | baha: ah like so,no thats a bad idea. you should just reinstall the programs via the software manager | 18:34 |
| gr33n7007h | does anybody know how to get the broadcom sta driver working? plz | 18:34 |
| milamber | !clone | baha | 18:35 |
| ubottu | baha: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 18:35 |
| acicula | heh thanks, was just looking how to do that | 18:35 |
| romenov | acicula: I can't use a 10.x package for that? | 18:36 |
| acicula | gr33n7007h: have you tried updating ubuntu via a cable? | 18:36 |
| baha | ubottu, would this copy the installed programs? | 18:36 |
| ubottu | baha: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:36 |
| baha | :D | 18:36 |
| acicula | baha: everything you installed using the package manager yes | 18:37 |
| acicula | 3d party programs like matlab or such you will have to reinstall/copy over | 18:37 |
| baha | acicula, this if I have the packages in the archive, right? | 18:37 |
| gr33n7007h | ive downloaded it from additional drivers i just need to activate it somehow | 18:37 |
| baha | apt/archive | 18:37 |
| milamber | baha: what do you mean by archive? | 18:38 |
| acicula | gr33n7007h: does the driver show in the additional drivers program? | 18:38 |
| baha | acicula, if I have made apt-get clear then this won't work right? | 18:38 |
| andresmh | what is the recommended ubuntu 10.10 repo to get the latest _stable_ version of FF? The default ubuntu repo still has FF 3.x, and others I've found have the bleeding edge versions. | 18:38 |

| acicula | romenov: you can use apt-cache policy <packagename> to list the available versions in your repository | 18:39 |
| baha | acicula, so I have to do as ubottu said, right? | 18:40 |
| milamber | baha: the repositories are on the internets, if there is an equivelant package for the new install, it will install it. how many programs are you worried about? you can see what packages are available for the different versions at packages.ubuntu.com | 18:40 |
| gr33n7007h | the driver is activated but not currently in use | 18:40 |
| acicula | romenov: if its not their you could try using packages from an older ubuntu version, but you'll likely run into revision/dependency problems | 18:40 |

| romenov | acicula: mmm no 5.2 php package :/ that sucks :s would something like this work? http://randyfay.com/node/63 | 18:42 |
| acicula | *by | 18:43 |
| theadmin | maheanuu: You can find the package in /var/cache/apt/archives | 18:43 |
| theadmin | maheanuu: And manpages are spread all over the system, you're better off getting the package | 18:43 |
| jimmy51_ | acicula: show me what each IP is (type of machine, MAC prefix registered to, hostname, version, etc). putting it in a visual diagram would be ideal (switches, routers, etc) | 18:43 |
| maheanuu | That is what I wanted to do but I couldn't find a way to down load the package without doing the "install" | 18:44 |
| acicula | romenov: it might yes, but if you get dependency issues you know why | 18:44 |

| acicula | .. | 19:08 |
| melanie | baldur-: i meant grep -i, not grep -l. ;-) | 19:09 |
| acicula | baldur-: does ifconfig eth0 up give an error? | 19:09 |
| haaalp | so... How should i do this? should i make a new partition table? because i don't want to remove my ntfs partition | 19:09 |
| Niche | hi | 19:09 |
| melanie | baldur-: anyway. | 19:09 |
| acicula | haaalp: eh not enough information, are you trying to install wubi or something? | 19:09 |
| george_ | ok it says that the wl works but | 19:09 |
| george_ | in my house it worked | 19:10 |
| george_ | not in public places | 19:10 |

| Niche | I've got a powerful gaming PC running 11.04 Ubuntu and the UI seems very choppy and laggy. Radeon 4890, Phemo II x4 3GHz, anyone know what's going on? | 19:10 |
| baldur- | melanie: acicula: it does not give me error it sees the correct network card | 19:10 |
| haaalp | acicula: I'm currently in ubuntu LiveCD and want to install ubuntu completely without dual-boot, but i still want to keep my "D: ntfs" partition since i have my private files on that one. | 19:11 |
| acicula | george_: you have to configure every individual wireless network before you can use it | 19:11 |
| acicula | haaalp: so which partition do you have that has free space? | 19:11 |
| haaalp | currently i only have unallocated space since i removed my windows installation | 19:12 |
| acicula | baldur-: then your network card should be working fine, its just the ifup script thats not working. what are you trying to do and whats in your /etc/network/interfaces and/or are you using networkmanager for anything? | 19:12 |
| melanie | baldur-: and how about setting up the network by hand? i.e. with ifconfig, dhclient and/or route? | 19:12 |
| zteam | Anybody here knows a way to emulate a copy-protected CD from Ubuntu? | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Niche: have you installed the proprietary video drivers (your system isn't particularly powerful but is enough to run ubuntu well) | 19:13 |
| acicula | haaalp: ok so you'll have to make partitions in the unallocated space, or let the ubuntu installer do that for you | 19:13 |
| haaalp | acicula-: ok, so can i make one "ext4" partition and choose that and go ahead and install, or do i have to make other partitions too? | 19:14 |
| acicula | haaalp: you will need a swap partition as well | 19:15 |
| Niche | ActionParsnip, yes I have installed the proprietary ATI video drivers. I just mean powerful for Ubuntu... my Laptop has a Intel P4 2.8Ghz with a Mobility Radeon 9800 and ran Ubuntu 10.04 like butter with high compiz effects | 19:15 |
| george_ | for the partitions you can to make one big ext4 partition and mount it as / | 19:15 |
| G0R | zteam: cd or dvd? | 19:15 |
| george_ | it should be ok with that | 19:15 |
| haaalp | acicula-: how big is the swap recommended to be? | 19:16 |
| george_ | it has to be twice the size of your actual RAM | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Niche: does the system run ok if you log in to Ubuntu Classic session? | 19:16 |
| george_ | if u have 1 GB | 19:16 |
| george_ | it should be 2048 MBs | 19:16 |
| Niche | ActionParsnip, I just used the Windows Installer this time which did not have me set my swap or anything like that. Could this be the reason why? I have not yet tried the classic session. | 19:16 |
| haaalp | o.O so i have to make it 16Gb? o.O | 19:17 |
| baldur- | acicula: melanie: | 19:17 |
| Pici | haaalp: If you intend to hibernate, you will need as least as much swap as you have RAM. | 19:17 |
| cfedde | to add a user to a group do I need to do more than simply put their user name on the right line of /etc/group? | 19:17 |
| Dulak | george: that is good up to maybe 4g, then you just want enough swap to hibernate, if you even need hibernate. | 19:18 |
| zteam | G0R: a CD, I need something like daemon tools | 19:18 |
| haaalp | ok, so now i have on "ext4" partition and now i should make a "swap" partition that's double the size i have in RAM? | 19:18 |
| acicula | cfedde: thats enough | 19:18 |
| george_ | yea | 19:18 |
| george_ | thats what i believe if you want to hibernate | 19:18 |
| brandon_ | s | 19:18 |
| acicula | cfedde: you needto start a new session for it to take effect | 19:18 |
| cfedde | acicula: I thought so. but after doig that, logging out and back in I don't see the new group when I run id. | 19:19 |
| haaalp | hibernate? | 19:19 |
| baldur- | acicula: melanie: i know the card was working but i am not abel to connect to the internet now i put in the numbers manually (ip gateway netmask) and it still does not work | 19:19 |
| G0R | zteam: if you need daemon tools, i would suggest wine. i use dvd decrypter with wine and it works perfectly | 19:19 |
| brandon_ | s -ls | 19:19 |
| baldur- | acicula: melanie: i cant ping my laptop atleast | 19:19 |
| melanie | baldur-: maybe you need to use dhcp? | 19:19 |
| cfedde | acicula: are you aware of some cacheing layer? ala nscd for example? | 19:19 |
| baldur- | melanie: i had it set to automatic (dhcp) | 19:20 |
| acicula | cfedde: no, just starting a new login shell should do it i think | 19:20 |
| baldur- | melanie: that did not work | 19:20 |
| haaalp | any more partitions i need except swap and ext4? and on what should i install the boot loader too? | 19:20 |
| cfedde | acicula: your understanding is the same as mine. I must have overlooked something. thanks. | 19:20 |
| acicula | haaalp: boot loader files go onto the ext4 partition, but the boot record goes on /dev/sda | 19:20 |
| Niche | ActionParsnip, does installing with the windows installer ever create performance issues? | 19:21 |
| iceroot | haaalp: why not use the default partitions ubuntu is using? | 19:21 |
| iceroot | haaalp: and ext4 is not a partition, its a filesystem | 19:21 |
| acicula | cfedde:if you are using something like ldap that might take precedence over local files | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Niche: make sure you defrag your NTFS partition. Wubi is directly affected by the shortcomings of NTFS | 19:21 |
| zteam | G0R well, Daemon tools doesn't work with wine because it add drivers to the kernel, so I need to find something native for linux | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Niche: if the NTFS gets very fragmented then it will | 19:21 |
| haaalp | yeah i know, but i'm to lazy to write that xD | 19:21 |
| cfedde | acicula: I don't think I am. thanks | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | zteam: linux can mount ISOs natively. No need for extra tools | 19:22 |
| iceroot | haaalp: / is shorter then ext4 .... | 19:22 |
| theadmin | zteam: mount -o loop something.iso /path/to/lolfolder | 19:22 |
| haaalp | but doesn't ubuntu create the other partitions on auto if i only have an ext4 filesystem? | 19:22 |
| G0R | zteam: sorry, cd's are not my thing :( I'm good with dvd's | 19:22 |
| iceroot | haaalp: doesnt matter what filesystem you have. tell ubuntu where to install and ubuntu will create the layout | 19:22 |
| haaalp | ok :) | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | zteam: windows is primitive nd needs extra tools to mount ISOs. Linux has been able to do it for years | 19:23 |
| iceroot | haaalp: you can choose to use the complete disc or to use a specific partitons, that partiton ubuntu will automaticly edit with the needed partitons | 19:23 |
| zteam | theadmin, that doesn't work because wine can't handle that thing | 19:23 |
| Enox4 | By the way, if anyone remembers my earlier grub issues, it's a bug that if you have a snapshot on the boot volume apparently nothing will boot and it'll say disk not found. Launchpad bug 563895 | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 563895 in grub2 (Ubuntu) "grub2 fails to boot or install when an LVM snapshot exists" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/563895 | 19:23 |
| haaalp | ok thanks :) so ext4 filesystem is ok to choose to? since a friend of mine told me that | 19:23 |
| iceroot | haaalp: why choose ext4? ubuntu will do the step | 19:24 |
| === chocolates_ is now known as chocolates | ||
| zteam | ActionParsnip, yes, I know that but linux built-in tools doesn't work if the CD is copy-protected | 19:24 |
| iceroot | haaalp: do you also want to use windows on that disc? | 19:24 |
| theadmin | zteam: Wha? Point winecfg to that directory where the CD is as a drive | 19:24 |
| Niche | when I drag and drop programs onto my unity launcher, they do not stay there | 19:24 |
| Niche | what gives? | 19:24 |
| Niche | they just float back to their location in the folder | 19:25 |
| === the is now known as Guest77678 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Niche: if you run the app it should appear, you can then right click it and select "keep in launcher" | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Niche: you should be able to drag and drop from dash | 19:25 |
| zteam | theadmin, Already done that, and the the application just tells me to insert the CD | 19:25 |
| haaalp | iceroot: i dont want to use windows anymore at all, only in vm, and i have an ntfs partition that i want to keep since i have private data on that one, and i can't choose /dev/sda(i know why), and i only have unallocated space right now and can only choose to install on /dev/sda and /dev/sda5(which is my ntfs partition) | 19:25 |
| theadmin | zteam: That's... well... Not good :/ | 19:25 |
| Niche | thank you | 19:26 |
| richardar | my front audio doesn't work, back audio ports work fine, what can I do? | 19:26 |
| iceroot | haaalp: then tell ubuntu to use the unallocated space | 19:26 |
| zteam | theadmin, nope, guess I just have to burn the CD instead... :-/ | 19:27 |
| iceroot | haaalp: no need to create a ext4 partiton before | 19:27 |
| neur0tk | identify wickedcow33 | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | richardar: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 19:27 |
| haaalp | iceroot: i can't choose that since i have to tell where the boot loader installation should be, that's what i meant by not being able to choose... Sorry | 19:27 |
| iceroot | haaalp: bootloader goes to sda | 19:28 |
| theadmin | zteam: Doubt that'd really work | 19:28 |
| iceroot | haaalp: that will not destroy your ntfs-partion | 19:28 |
| iceroot | haaalp: because sda is not a partiton | 19:28 |
| haaalp | iceroot: i can't choose sda since it will tell me "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." | 19:28 |
| iceroot | haaalp: just choose "use the unallocated space" | 19:29 |
| iceroot | haaalp: the bootloader automaticly goes to sda | 19:29 |
| richardar | ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=6b6f32c0ebcf0d46ffa5a9428eb1573b92032f89 | 19:30 |
| haaalp | i can't... still! i have chosen the "something else" option, instead of "use the entire disk" and there are no "use the unallocated space" in the "device for boot loader installation", and i can't do much more from that... | 19:30 |
| jiltdil | How to change brightness of my screen i am using 11.04? | 19:31 |
| giveway | hello | 19:31 |
| iceroot | haaalp: what cd? alternate or the normal cd? | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | richardar: if you run: alsamixer make sure the levels are all unmuted and cranked | 19:31 |
| Aegir | Aegir heeft verlaten (Has Quit) | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | jiltdil: what make / model system? | 19:31 |
| haaalp | iceroot: the normal cd | 19:31 |
| jiltdil | ActionParsnip: ? | 19:31 |
| haaalp | i mean the LiveCD yes | 19:32 |
| richardar | ActionParsnip, "headphones" is greyed out | 19:32 |
| iceroot | haaalp: if you have unallocated space on that drive ubuntu will let you choose "install on unallocated space" | 19:32 |
| haaalp | tho i don't know if there is any other o.O | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | jiltdil: well you have a dim screen, is it part of a laptop? | 19:32 |
| jiltdil | ActionParsnip: i am on desktop | 19:32 |
| haaalp | iceroot: i dont have it :O | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | jiltdil: ok, does it have a make and model? | 19:33 |
| iceroot | haaalp: then you dont have unallocated space | 19:33 |
| iceroot | haaalp: you said you already create an ext4 partition? | 19:33 |
| richardar | ActionParsnip, all levels are at the max and the headphone option is just greyed out | 19:34 |
| haaalp | iceroot: would you mind using Teamviewer so i can show you? | 19:34 |
| haaalp | yeah but i removed it again | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | richardar: ok try adding: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf reboot to test | 19:34 |
| richardar | ActionParsnip, ok, although this is a sandy bridge desktop | 19:34 |
| iceroot | haaalp: if you removed it correctyl, you will get "install in unallocated space" | 19:35 |
| richardar | my friends infact, I am so jealous | 19:35 |
| ActionParsnip | richardar: may help, could also try: model=generic or model=auto see what works | 19:35 |
| richardar | ActionParsnip, OK, Will report back :D | 19:35 |
| cfedde | acicula: turns out nscd was running on this node. also thanks for your help. | 19:36 |

| Doc_bmh | nello | 19:37 |
| acicula | cfedde: ah ok, shouldnt nscd accept updates to /etc/groups though? | 19:37 |
| Doc_bmh | hello | 19:37 |
| cfedde | acicula: apparently there is a bit of a delay. based on whatever is in /etc/nscd.conf | 19:38 |
| aj00200 | Is there a way to get more than 2 lib-notify messages on screen at the same time? Is it possible to replace libnotify to get this afect? | 19:38 |
| acicula | cfedde: maybe there is an option that will force nscd to reload whenever there is a change to passwd/groups, not like those change that frequently | 19:38 |
| cfedde | acicula: I suspect there is. I just did a 'restart nscd' | 19:39 |
| cfedde | and that solved my problem. | 19:39 |
| acicula | sweet | 19:39 |
| haaalp | iceroot: isn't it just OK to choose the ext4 filesystem as directory for boot loader installation? | 19:40 |
| haaalp | or is it gonna create troubles? | 19:41 |
| avernos | is ttyusb is usb, bluetooth what is it? or where can i find it | 19:42 |
| haaalp | fuck this, i'm going for ext4 -.- | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | aj00200: you can create your own notifys with notify-send so you can concatonate text then send it to the app, is this what you mean? | 19:43 |
| Doc_bmh | hello | 19:43 |
| Doc_bmh | login | 19:43 |

| avernos | login accepted | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | haaalp: why not just let the installer manage it all, it will setup the partitions for you | 19:44 |
| aj00200 | ActionParsnip: I don't think so. I'm looking to have multiple alert bubbles on screen at a time. | 19:44 |
| battle_warrior | hi, ive made a total mistake.. and somehow screwed my system up totaly enough where every time i try to rewrite a text file.. it keeps saying ] I'm sorry, Dave, but I cannot let you do that. .. the cause of my mistake? chown -R 777 . How do i ix this??? without using a gui.. its a server box | 19:44 |
| hacker357 | can smb tell me how to make my ubuntu to restart@ | 19:44 |
| haaalp | yeah but i'm to afraid that i will lose my ntfs partition where my private data is... | 19:44 |
| hacker357 | it freezes on restart | 19:45 |
| richardor | ActionParsnip, I tried laptop and generic, neither worked | 19:45 |
| aj00200 | battle_warrior: I'm not sure about your problem but you aren't using chown correctly unless your username is 777. You might be looking for chmod. | 19:45 |
| battle_warrior | -_- | 19:45 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, lol, did you issued that command as root? | 19:46 |
| battle_warrior | yes | 19:46 |
| bsmith093 | im getting worried, has there been any updating of ubuntu in maybe three weeks? because apt doesnt seem to think so | 19:46 |
| avernos | looks like a nice little mess haha | 19:46 |
| battle_warrior | just a little... | 19:46 |
| bsmith093 | battle_warrior: so not that much? | 19:46 |
| battle_warrior | well i cant do anythiung..... | 19:46 |
| battle_warrior | if i try to import something to the server from windows.. it refuses to read it | 19:47 |
| aj00200 | bsmith093: do you have it set to check for updates automatically? If not, try running "gksu apt-get update" in a terminal. THere have been updates recently for 11.04. | 19:47 |
| battle_warrior | and this is a minecraft server!!! .... | 19:47 |
| avernos | well, usually there arent any kind of options like undo.. but you can set the perms by hand for everything, or just reinstall | 19:47 |
| fowlduck | does upstart respect LSB headers of scripts in /etc/init.d/* that are run via /etc/rcn.d/S* ? | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | richardor: try: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 enable=yes | 19:47 |
| battle_warrior | ugh.. ill have to reinstall phpbb3... and webmin.. | 19:48 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, 777 is open for everyone? shouldnt let you do that kind of things? | 19:48 |
| ThinkT510 | !webmin | 19:48 |
| 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. | 19:48 |
| haaalp | someone that can PM me and help install? i've been using LiveCD for the past 2 days and i realy want to install ubuntu... :( | 19:48 |
| fowlduck | anyone? | 19:48 |
| corehook | hi all, anyone who can help me with Dlink DWA-126 wifi usb card ? | 19:49 |
| battle_warrior | avenos is there anyway i can fix this? | 19:49 |
| avernos | yeah, messing with that kind of critical stuff is dangerous.. i did something similar with move command | 19:49 |
| corehook | i can see wifi networks, cant inject packets but cant connect when wep/wpa2 will cracked | 19:49 |
| battle_warrior | is there anyway to fix it without haveing to reinstall my systm? | 19:49 |
| avernos | you changed the perms for the whole OS plus your own files? | 19:49 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: the liveCD will walk you through the install. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. | 19:49 |
| battle_warrior | besides root | 19:49 |
| avernos | or just your home directory? | 19:49 |
| battle_warrior | i did my home directory | 19:50 |
| haaalp | aj00200: sure it will, but it will also delete my ntfs partition that i need to have, because if i dont i'll lose my job! | 19:50 |
| avernos | if is just your home directory, then it should be easy. change it back | 19:50 |
| battle_warrior | how? | 19:50 |
| brandon_ | 19:51 | |
| aj00200 | haaalp: there is a clearly marked option to install alongside windows. Also, if you arwe worried, make a backup of important files. | 19:51 |
| brandon_ | [#ubuntu] | 19:51 |
| avernos | wait a sec, 777 is open for everyone, you shouldt have any problem using it. so im guessing is not just your home dir | 19:51 |
| NixNinja | can someone help me I am trying to build a vm image using ubuntu-vm-builder kvm natty but it keeps erroring out at the end with the message "File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 225, in main | 19:51 |

| haaalp | aj00200: i'm not gonna use windows anymore. | 19:51 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior Did you do chmod or chown ? | 19:51 |
| battle_warrior | when i import anything from windows or create a new file i have to add 777 to the file permissions | 19:52 |
| battle_warrior | i did sudo chown -R 777 . | 19:52 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, that looks like you changed the owner of the files, probably to root | 19:52 |
| kish | is there a simple ftp server with gui admin control? | 19:52 |
| battle_warrior | kish filezilla? | 19:52 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: then maybe you should make a copy of your files to a CD for a removable device like a flash drive so that you can keep then once you have Ubuntu installed. | 19:52 |
| kish | battle_warrior, excellent. ty;) | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | chown 777 will change the owner of the files to whomever is UID 777 | 19:53 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior: You should have gotten an error that user 777 does not exist, (and nothing done). | 19:53 |
| battle_warrior | yeah i would think so .. but its there | 19:53 |
| qin | battle_warrior: ls -l ~ | 19:53 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, im just another n00b trying to help.. | 19:53 |
| kish | battle_warrior, are you sure filezilla is a server or just a client | 19:53 |
| haaalp | aj00200: the total amount of data is over 350Gb | 19:53 |
| battle_warrior | filezilla is a client that attaches to tthe server | 19:53 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: how big is your hard drive? | 19:53 |
| haaalp | aj00200: 1TB | 19:54 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior: And you would have had to have done it by sudo. Is that right? Your command was sudo chown 777 -R But did you specify a path? Or not? | 19:54 |

| battle_warrior | yeah first they said 775, on mysql | 19:55 |
| battle_warrior | then they said i should use 777 | 19:55 |

I want to install ubuntu, right? but i dont want to remove my ntfs partition (that is not an windows installation btw) that holds my private data (almost my entire life), and i have chosen the "something else" option instead of "erase entire disk", and i have deleted my C: partition that held the windows installation, so now i have lots of unallocated space, and i'm stuck at "di | 19:58 |
| richardor | ActionParsnip, now sound just doesn't work at all :/ | 19:58 |
| battle_warrior | i did chown -R minecraft * and yet it still says "im sorry dave but i cannot let you do that | 19:59 |

| aj00200 | haaalp: your message was cut off because it was too long. I saw all the way up to i'm stuck at "di | 19:59 |

| MrDave | can i ask about Oncielot here | 20:00 |
| Pici | MrDave : Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. | 20:01 |
| haaalp | and if i choose "/dev/sda" i get the error "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." and if i choose "/dev/sda" i will delete my ntfs partition, which i don't want to do... | 20:01 |
| MrDave | im debugging for buntu >:) | 20:01 |
| usr13 | haaalp: Ok first off, /dev/sda is not a partition, it is a drive. | 20:01 |
| richardor | My front audio ports don't work, what can I do? | 20:01 |
| haaalp | yeah i know, i'm just lost when typing... | 20:02 |
| usr13 | haaalp: So which partition do you need to keep, (not erase)? | 20:02 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: you might need to pick the mountpoint from a dropdown and select / or you might need to check the reformat box | 20:02 |
| haaalp | and i'm very frustrated now since i have used the LiveCD for the past 2 days... | 20:02 |
| avernos | haaalp, looks like you need to choose the / filesystem which is the C: in windows? | 20:02 |
| usr13 | haaalp: If you are not sure, back out now and start over. | 20:02 |
| usr13 | haaalp: ... before you delete what you did not delete. | 20:03 |
| battle_warrior | usr13 http://pastebin.com/TDYWW0xL i did sudo chown -R minecraft /home/minecraft | 20:03 |
| battle_warrior | as you see from the text | 20:03 |
| usr13 | haaalp: Is this a desktop or laptop? | 20:03 |
| haaalp | i can't choose the C: since it's gone completely, and i don't want to remove the /dev/sda2 partition since that is the ntfs partition | 20:03 |
| haaalp | it's desktop | 20:03 |
| haaalp | well /dev/sda5 it says | 20:03 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: do you need to select "Create a new partition" or something similar? That would allow you to use unallocated space. Then set the mountpoint to "/" | 20:04 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior: Ok, that should do it. | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | battle_warrior: looks fine | 20:04 |
| battle_warrior | it should.... | 20:04 |
| battle_warrior | but it keeps saying "im sorry dave.. i cant let you do that | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | battle_warrior: what makes the dave message? | 20:05 |
| haaalp | aj00200: i can create a new partition of the unallocated space from the installation yes. | 20:05 |
| battle_warrior | the server box is a dedicated minecraft server, theres a command from the console where i can add people to a "whitelist" | 20:05 |
| battle_warrior | when i do whitelist add "username" it says that mesage | 20:05 |
| usr13 | haaalp: I advise people to add another HD and just use it all. (Little safer than figuring out which partition(s) not to use.) | 20:05 |
| Cobra17 | witam wszystkich | 20:05 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: it sounds like you need to set a mountpoint on that partition. | 20:06 |

| ubottu | Cobra17: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 20:06 |
| haaalp | usr13: i cant do that since all my HDD's are used | 20:06 |
| haaalp | aj00200: then how do i do that? | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | battle_warrior: didn't know whitelist was a command | 20:06 |
| Caltwentynine | Hey does anyone here know much about getting dx games to run better in wine | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | battle_warrior: what does it do? | 20:06 |
| Caltwentynine | or perhaps a bit about achieving better performance with ati gfx cards | 20:06 |
| battle_warrior | you can add whitelist from the console instead of adding it yourself from notpad | 20:06 |
| usr13 | haaalp: But basically what you want to do is first delete all the partitions you can (ones that you don't need to save data on), and then use free space as needed. | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Caltwentynine: have you asked in #winehq | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Caltwentynine: which version of wine? | 20:07 |
| battle_warrior | all it does is add a person user to the whitelist text file | 20:07 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: either select the parition you created or create a new one if you start over with the install and when you are editing it there should be a box that lets you set your mountpoint to "/" | 20:07 |
| Caltwentynine | alright ty | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | battle_warrior: http://www.hostedgameservers.com/2011/how-to-enable-a-whitelist-on-your-minecraft-server | 20:08 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: you might need to right-click and select edit or doubble-click it. I don't remember how to get to the place where you can enter that information | 20:08 |

| JakeR003 | is there a program to clean ubuntu from old backups and files? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | richardor: check the front audio is enabled in BIOS (if it is an option). You may find bug reports for it too | 20:10 |
| JakeR003 | like there is an .img.old | 20:10 |
| richardor | ActionParsnip, I've tried everything you've said and I deleted everything previous | 20:10 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, would be the same idea as using notpad, instead of using the comand.. | 20:10 |
| usr13 | haaalp: You have to decide how to use the free space you have, (in what ever spots you have it on). Either that, or you need to move the one you are saving to the end or beginning so that you have large enough space for Linux partitions. At the least, you need one ext4 partition and one swap partition. If you only have one ext4 partition, it needs to be at least 10 or 12G and the swap as big or little bigger than ram. | 20:10 |
| richardor | That's a good idea | 20:10 |
| Shwaiil | hi ppl | 20:10 |
| Shwaiil | Q: Does anyone know where's the application data folder of FIREFOX in ubuntu ? Tks! | 20:10 |
| baha | alaing, have you tried [sudo apt-get install mysql5]? | 20:10 |
| battle_warrior | avernos yeah editing the notepad directly would be a good idea.. but before i screwed it up i could access and write to the notepad from the console | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Shwaiil: ~/.mozilla/firefox | 20:11 |
| Pici | alaing: Which version do you want to upgrade to? | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | alaing: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?154,401279,401279 maybe | 20:11 |
| qin | Shwaiil: dpkg -L firefox | 20:11 |
| baha | Shwaiil, you mean the executable ? it's in the usr/bin I think | 20:11 |
| alaing | Pici 5.6 | 20:11 |
| battle_warrior | avernos its like all my permissions been borked | 20:11 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, i would guess the group or perms, perhaps you can try to find out how to let your user edit it. but if you edit with sudo and it works then might be enough | 20:11 |
| Shwaiil | thanks a lot for looking. actually i'm trying to find the application data folder, where the temp files are | 20:12 |
| Shwaiil | to get a FLV file I just downloaded from facebook | 20:12 |
| usr13 | haaalp: If you have one area of free space that is only about 10G or so, and another space that is same or larger, make a 10 or 12G partition for / and another (larger) one for /home and then (small) one for swap. | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Shwaiil: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 20:12 |
| battle_warrior | avernos when i run minecraft.sh it becomes the server for minecraft.. sudo commands or normal ubuntu commands dont work while i have.sh running | 20:12 |
| haaalp | now making a new partition like following: new partition type: primary, size: enough to leave about 20Gb, place for the new partition: start, filesystem: ext4, mount point: / | 20:12 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, i dont even know what is minecraft, but try to find out what group uses, what perms the files should have, and set it to what it should be.. | 20:13 |
| battle_warrior | minecraft is like roblox..... think legos on sterioids... | 20:13 |
| battle_warrior | sand box creativity | 20:13 |
| avernos | interesting | 20:13 |
| avernos | but is it still running? | 20:13 |
| battle_warrior | testris and legos on seriods | 20:13 |
| Pici | alaing: I don't see anything newer than 5.1 in Ubuntu :/ | 20:14 |
| avernos | works fine even with the perms or whatever mess? | 20:14 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: that sounds correct. | 20:14 |
| mega1 | How can i backup ubuntu server and then restor it | 20:14 |
| battle_warrior | if i let the sh create the original stuff yes.. but when i even edit the slightest thing.. it keeps say ing certain things are pemission denied | 20:14 |
| usr13 | haaalp: It all depends on how much free space you have and how many areas (of free space) and how large each of them are. | 20:14 |
| tsangetsu | this is my first time here.......... | 20:14 |
| alaing | Pici I just saw 5.6 in the mysql documentation | 20:14 |
| alaing | http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/sql-syntax-prepared-statements.html | 20:15 |

| zackoch | Hey all - I have a VLAN configuration question and don't want to flood the channel with a bunch of text so if anyone would like to read my pastebin I'd appreciate it! http://pastebin.com/vwMp3FCS | 20:15 |
| battle_warrior | pastebin.com | 20:15 |
| Pici | alaing: It looks like 'early access' to 5.6 has been offered. | 20:15 |
| alaing | but what about the other versions? | 20:15 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: you should leave all of those the same unless you have anything else that you want to change. Changing those could result in their contents being erased if you are not careful | 20:15 |

| battle_warrior | minecraft/plugins | 20:18 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior: Where is minecraft/plugins ? (Need to see full path) | 20:19 |
| avernos | battle_warrior, you could open another terminal, out of minecraft.sh and use sudo/root to edit the files | 20:19 |
| battle_warrior | yeah i could but tht would be the same idea as editing the files using notepad, using nano is hectic | 20:19 |

| zackoch | Ugh crapolla plz dissregard my pastebin VLAN problem I had above :) I figured it out ! | 20:20 |
| haaalp | aj00200: this is what i get: "You have not selected any partitions for use as swap space. Activate a swap space is recommended so that systems can better use the available physical memory and it appears better when it's not out of physical memory. You may experience problems during installation if you do not have enough physical memory." | 20:21 |
| usr13 | battle_warrior: Did it require sudo or root to install the game files? | 20:21 |

| haaalp | and i have now 20Gb unallocated space | 20:23 |
| aj00200 | haaalp: I can help you set it up if you want, otherwise, 3GB should be more than enough | 20:23 |

| baha | Polah, I think this is the simplest solution but I couldn't make it work the last time I tried, I'll look for a man page, do you have any idea? | 21:51 |
| TeknoCool | it matches | 21:51 |
| IdleOne | WingChunWarrior: ?? | 21:51 |
| WingChunWarrior | idleOne: here's what the article states; "If you are attempting to install Ubuntu alone on the disk, the installer will create the first partition as a primary partition. And that first partition, following the recommendation made earlier, should be mounted at /boot. The default file system for /boot on Ubuntu is ext2. You can use that, or ext4, the default journaling file system on Ubuntu | 21:51 |
| WingChunWarrior | 11.04" | 21:51 |
| Polah | MO_Handes: I wouldn't know, but you can just install from .debs by either running them or there's a command line utility for it but I can't rcall its name | 21:51 |
| TeknoCool | both hashes match | 21:52 |
| beek | apt | 21:52 |
| IdleOne | WingChunWarrior: ok, go with the default when you aren't sure is my motto | 21:52 |
| MO_Handes | Polah, how can I have the .debs which apt-get automatically downloads and installs? | 21:52 |
| zi | If I have two versions of the same pkg in my sources, then how do I make it choose one or the other? | 21:52 |
| qin | Polah: dpkg -i *.deb | 21:52 |
| TeknoCool | Action both hashes match | 21:53 |
| WingChunWarrior | idleOne: i just want to make sure i complete this install the best and most efficient way. | 21:53 |
| Polah | MO_Handes, use apt-get download <packages> or install them and take them from /var/cache/apt | 21:53 |
| MO_Handes | ty | 21:53 |
| Polah | qin: Thanks, but isnt' there something named along the lines of ideb that does it too? | 21:53 |

| WingChunWarrior | idleOne: | 21:54 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: i followed this guide now | 21:54 |

| Richiie | it turned ot to "work" but i wanna see what drivers im using | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | TeknoCool: ok if you install daemontools or magicdisk, you can mount the ISO and install from there. If you use Windows 7, I personally recommend you resize your NTFS partition in Windows then install Ubuntu to the new free space | 21:55 |
| TeknoCool | can i do that w/o formating the drive? | 21:55 |
| ozten | Howdy! I think I'm "doing it wrong". | 21:55 |
| ozten | I have a few custom installs of apps that I've compiled | 21:55 |
| ozten | during minor upgrades, my linker or libc or something freaks out | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, you format filesystms.. and you repartiton drives to make new partitions you put filesystems on. :) | 21:56 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: i followed this guide | 21:56 |
| IdleOne | WingChunWarrior: the best and most efficient way to install Ubuntu is to go with the defaults. I am not sure how else to tell you this. | 21:56 |
| WingChunWarrior | Polah: thanks...what's your reccomendation then? other than the logs, is one better or faster, etc. than the other? | 21:56 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, You can resize your partitions/filesystems. to make room for new ones.. depending on your setup. | 21:56 |
| ozten | Example: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1301506 | 21:56 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.cchtml.com%2Findex.php%2FMain_Page&h=SAQAdQrn8 | 21:56 |
| TeknoCool | right now i have just 1 partition | 21:56 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: the Propierity drivers there the SWAT-X ppa | 21:57 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, with windows on new machines.. ive rarely seem them do just 1 partition.. | 21:57 |
| qin | Polah: gdebi ? | 21:57 |
| ozten | If I remove my libldap_r.so and liblber-2.4.so.2.5.6, etc | 21:57 |
| Polah | WingChunWarrior: I'd guess ext4 would be better, since it is a later version (ext2 came out a long time before ext4) and I imagine would be improved. | 21:57 |
| MO_Handes | lol ! just joined #windows insulting microsoft. that's funny :)) | 21:57 |
| ozten | then my apps start working again. | 21:57 |
| Polah | qin: That's the one, thanks | 21:57 |
| baldur- | MO_Handes: new proplem :) http://pastebin.com/3tCs37Yb | 21:57 |
| WingChunWarrior | Polah: thank you. :-) | 21:57 |
| TeknoCool | this laptop came w/o any os | 21:57 |
| TeknoCool | and w/o drivers | 21:57 |
| ozten | How can I avoid this problem? I've fixed it twice after two upgrades | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Richiie: just rename the xorg.conf file and reboot, should be ok | 21:58 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, so you just want linux on it? or whats the current setup? | 21:58 |
| qin | MO_Handes: No, that's silly. | 21:58 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: well it "works" now | 21:58 |
| TeknoCool | i have windows 7 on it right now but i want to run linux also | 21:58 |
| Richiie | ActionParsnip: but if i run glxinfo | grep vga / VGA | 21:58 |
| Richiie | i get no output | 21:58 |
| Richiie | neither if i look into "display manager" refresh rate 0 | 21:58 |
| Richiie | wtf? what drivers am i using then ? | 21:58 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, i suggest resizeing the windows partitions, and installing linux to its own partition then. Its Very likely windows 7 made 2 partitions when it installed. | 21:58 |
| Richiie | i followed this and now my X is working again but still what drivers am i using ? | 21:59 |
| TeknoCool | nope it didn't | 21:59 |
| TeknoCool | i have just E | 21:59 |
| Richiie | http://www.brunolinux.com/06-Fine_Tuning_Your_System/Configure_X.html | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, you just need to make enough 'unallocated' space and be sure to not have 4 primary partitins made.. then ubuntu can partion/install to the unallocated space automatically | 21:59 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: You mean C:\ ? | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, just because you have E: dosent mean theres not Other partitons on the disk... | 21:59 |
| TeknoCool | no | 21:59 |
| TeknoCool | it's e | 21:59 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, check with the disk manager tool in windows. | 21:59 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Just shrink it down and leave free space for Linux. | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | silly windows :) making E: and skiping c: :) | 22:00 |
| javagreek | hello everyone. i am trying to format a external usb hdd to boot a mac os on my imac g5. i see that ubuntu has tools to manipulate hfs partitions and disk utility can create guid partition table. i am trying to see if anyone has experience doing this or can guide me. | 22:00 |
| TeknoCool | yes | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | must of had some usb stuff plugged in. | 22:00 |
| TeknoCool | it marked my memory card slot as c | 22:00 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, ive seen some apps in windows crashbadly because of that quirk. :) | 22:00 |
| Richiie | what drivers am i i using if i follow this? http://www.brunolinux.com/06-Fine_Tuning_Your_System/Configure_X.html | 22:01 |
| TeknoCool | i had some serious issue in xp | 22:01 |
| TeknoCool | it wouldn't even install drivers | 22:01 |
| TeknoCool | had to put a memory card in so it would | 22:01 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Yea, MS Windows partition and drive naming system is a bit clunky | 22:01 |
| TeknoCool | no windows no gates | 22:02 |
| TeknoCool | the best | 22:02 |
| javagreek | true that | 22:02 |
| usr13 | ThomasB2k: But it doesn't matter what it's called, it is the first partition, so just shrink it down and leave space for Linux. | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, exactly. but back to Ubuntu/linux.. resize your windows partition You can do it from within windows7, leave a few dozen gb unallocated at the end.. and let the ubuntu installe rdo the rest. | 22:02 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: But it doesn't matter what it's called, it is the first partition, so just shrink it down and leave space for Linux. | 22:02 |
| TeknoCool | uhm is there a tool or should i use cmd? | 22:02 |
| dr_willis | TeknoCool, windows 7 has tools for disk management.. | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | or the installer can do it.. but i find win7 faster at resizeing its own NTFS then the ubuntu tools. | 22:03 |
| TeknoCool | yes but i can't find it lmao | 22:03 |
| dr_willis | under the manage menu item on the computer icon somewhere... | 22:04 |
| javagreek | i was gonna say. nothing that gparted couldnt handle. | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | i found win7 resized a ntfs like 10x faster then gparted did.. | 22:04 |
| s_o_o_s | how can i undo a ridiculous mv command i just made in the terminal o_o | 22:04 |
| dr_willis | but it prob. depends on a lot of things... | 22:04 |

| usr13 | ThomasB2k: Wrong NIC | 22:07 |
| ozten | Would my question be better in another channel? Sorry I'm clueless | 22:07 |
| TeknoCool | it froze after querying for available shrink space xD | 22:07 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: It is a good idea to run defrag before shrinking partition size. | 22:07 |
| TeknoCool | oh good to know xD | 22:08 |
| Hackwar | hi folks, I'm trying to install the package "swftools" on ubuntu server 10.04, but i get an error in return, that the package is not available. Anybody know what I can do? | 22:08 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: May just need to give it some time. | 22:08 |
| kingofswords | hi ive just updated wine and now graphics look horrible..is it possible to go back to previous version? | 22:08 |
| TeknoCool | oh a defrag was allready running | 22:09 |
| TeknoCool | it's 55% nao | 22:09 |
| s_o_o_s | nvrmind, luckily ubuntu is not as stupid as me | 22:09 |
| javagreek | Hackwar: install from source. or backports repo. | 22:09 |
| Hackwar | ok | 22:09 |
| usr13 | Hackwar: sudo apt-get install swiftools | 22:09 |
| Hackwar | usr13: that doesn't work | 22:09 |
| Hackwar | will install from source then. | 22:10 |
| usr13 | Hackwar: Are you on 11.04 ? | 22:10 |
| javagreek | check into backports before you do that. | 22:10 |
| Hackwar | 10.04 | 22:10 |
| Hackwar | ok | 22:10 |
| javagreek | cuz a lot of times when a package is depreciated, some backport repo will still let you install the package. | 22:10 |
| TeknoCool | ok this is how much shrink space i have in mb 9220 | 22:11 |
| TeknoCool | is that enough for linux? | 22:12 |
| javagreek | 9220megs will be enough till you start installing software. plus i always try and keep atleast 1.5 to 2 gigs free space for my / partition. | 22:12 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Just barely | 22:13 |
| javagreek | also consider space for swap. | 22:13 |
| addisonj | okay, so, I have two older ati x1300 cards (they don't support fglrx) and I have two monitors to drive. I can't get the other monitor detected, anyone have any hints? | 22:13 |
| Hackwar | ok, backport does not provide that package | 22:13 |
| TeknoCool | if i clean up my hard drive i will make more space i guess | 22:13 |
| TeknoCool | or it doesn't work that way? xD | 22:13 |
| javagreek | then you outa luck on the easy way out partner. compile from sources. | 22:13 |
| Richiie | alright i solved it | 22:13 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: TeknoCool How big is it? | 22:14 |
| Richiie | Awesome.. so annoying problem whit ATI cards and Linux | 22:14 |
| Richiie | but i solved it :D | 22:14 |
| TeknoCool | 298 gb | 22:14 |
| TeknoCool | so i'm guessing another 2 unpartitioned or just floating | 22:14 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: And you only have 9G for Linux ? | 22:14 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Are you sure? | 22:15 |
| javagreek | yah you should clear up the clutter and atleast spare 20gigs for linux. | 22:15 |
| TeknoCool | my disks are full of stuff | 22:15 |
| TeknoCool | hopefully it will let me shrink the drive further afterwards | 22:15 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Wow. You have a lot of data! You should do some house cleaning and then run defrag again. | 22:16 |
| rhin0 | will 12.10 (or next version) still have classic desktop? will 12.04 have classic desktop? | 22:16 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: You can install on 9G but it will be pretty full. | 22:16 |
| javagreek | also consider the amount of tmp garbage that windows accumulates over time. try the disk clean up utility in windows. | 22:17 |
| IdleOne | rhin0: Classic desktop is being replaced with Unity 2D | 22:17 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: And yes, you can shrink MS Windows and take some more space up with Linux after the install, but it's probably better to do it now. | 22:18 |
| EPAstor | IdleOne: Then I really hope Unity improves by 11.10. | 22:18 |
| rhin0 | ok I have an inspiron m5010 -- running 11.04 with desktop effects -- after a while (days) cursor freezes up -- system 0k but cursor frozen after you log in (not on the login screen) -- at the moment I am going to go back to 10.04 and keep any effects off -- anyone any ideas? IdleOne or anyone | 22:19 |
| rhin0 | inspiron m5010 = dell laptop | 22:19 |
| javagreek | does it freeze at random boots or everytime. | 22:20 |
| WingChunWarrior | anyone: dumb question...i know, however, what partition, i.e., / or /home, etc. should ubuntu 11.04 be installed to? i've already set up the reccomended default partitions then clicked install. i'm worried because i didn't specify which location to do so. i believe it's being installed on the /dev/sda1 | 22:21 |
| rhin0 | javagreek: when using the system -- cursor stops - thats it .... not every time - after a few days | 22:21 |

| overclucker | TeknoCool: check http://appdb.winehq.org/ before trying | 22:29 |
| Brixius | kingofswords: mount the ntfs partition that your iso is in, then mount the iso | 22:29 |
| kingofswords | the file is on windows partition but i can copy over to ext3 as ive run out of space | 22:29 |
| wildbat1 | kingofswords: ok ~ you mean there is a ISO for ubuntu in a NTFS partition and you wanna loopmount it and install the ISO ~ yes you caan do that. | 22:29 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: You don't need photoshop, you can use gimp. And what is "after effects"? | 22:29 |
| kingofswords | Brixius, yeh ive done this but gmount isnt mounting it | 22:29 |
| hellothere007 | fr500: how do u use dd to destroy an entire hd? | 22:30 |
| TeknoCool | adobe after effects is a powerful animation | 22:30 |
| wildbat1 | kingofswords: use Archive mounter or mount -o loop | 22:30 |
| kingofswords | wildbat1, yes thats it exactly...so must be different reason its not loop mounting | 22:30 |
| Brixius | hellothere007: dd -if=/dev/zero -of=/dev/hdx | 22:30 |
| fr500 | hellothere007: well use caution, I do dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda for instance and I do it 2 or 3 times | 22:30 |

I tried it many times, but the server is "somewhere else" and I am connected through the vmware-client to the console of the server.

| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: that is correct, unless users need to execute something | 22:48 |
| scorchgeek | or, for directories, to list their contents | 22:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, so i shouldnt have a problem at all with downloading | 22:49 |
| scorchgeek | I shouldn't think the permissions would be causing it, no | 22:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | drwxr-xrwx 2 acidrain acidrain 4096 2011-08-15 17:46 FTP -and this is correct? | 22:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, im pretty sure its the permissions man... | 22:49 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ive been fighting this issue for 3 days now | 22:49 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: I'm not sure why you don't have rwx on the group | 22:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i just now got it to where i could login | 22:50 |
| Danskmand | ActionParsnip: You mean I shouldnt mess with the sudoers file ? | 22:50 |
| scorchgeek | but that shouldn't affect your ability to read it | 22:50 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: so what exactly is the problem anyway? | 22:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, well at first it wouldnt allow me to login because of file permissions set to the home dir. after i formatted a partition on the drive, it now allows me to login. but now i cant download files | 22:51 |
| poikges | hi,all | 22:51 |
| poikges | libav and ffmpeg | 22:51 |
| poikges | Inherit？ | 22:51 |
| poikges | Hostility？ | 22:51 |
| poikges | thank you! | 22:51 |
| FloodBot1 | poikges: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | and i seem to be facing the issue once more, where even using sudo... i cant change file permissions | 22:51 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: on your local computer you mean? | 22:52 |
| [THC]AcidRain | its on my local comp. but im talking about an external drive | 22:52 |
| Brixius | [THC]AcidRain: what format is the External drive in? ntfs? fat? | 22:53 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: urgh, is the drive formatted with ntfs? | 22:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | no. its currently formatted with ext3 | 22:53 |
| scorchgeek | hmm | 22:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | and turns out now.. i CAN change file permissions. i just discovered this. | 22:53 |
| TeknoCool | also thank y'all for your help, you guys are amazing ^^ | 22:53 |
| scorchgeek | at least that's good | 22:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | drwxrwxr-x 2 acidrain acidrain 4096 2011-08-15 17:46 FTP | 22:53 |
| scorchgeek | ActionParsnip: I fixed it, see http://banshee.fm/support/faq/ | 22:54 |
| scorchgeek | shame on me for not googling the problem first | 22:54 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: what's happening now? | 22:55 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, i went ahead and set all files with 777 permissions. this will determine if the issue rly is permission related | 22:55 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Error:Failed to open "/test.txt" for writing - this is the error im getting using filezilla | 22:55 |
| [THC]AcidRain | that is with 777 permissions | 22:55 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but im not trying to write... i just want to download | 22:55 |
| [THC]AcidRain | or is some type of write function carried out when downloading? | 22:56 |
| Gskellig | how much space does ubuntu 11.04 take up on a complete install? | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | scorchgeek: nice, glad you got the gold. I don't use banshee personally | 22:56 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: hmm, it shouldn't | 22:56 |
| Gskellig | also, what kind of support does ubuntu have for TRIM and SSDs in general? | 22:56 |
| ityler15 | bcm43xx help? | 22:56 |
| quem | sounds very familiar, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1750000 | 22:56 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: have you tried using the command line ftp to make sure filezilla isn't messing up? it's a long shot, but... | 22:56 |
| TeknoCool | does the whole ubuntu installation go on 1 drive? | 22:56 |
| Gskellig | last but not least, does anybody have experience with bumblebee? the hybrid linux driver for ubuntu? | 22:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | http://pastebin.com/JzP2kZny | 22:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, ill try that now actually | 22:57 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: oh, I think I figured it out | 22:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | using terminal ftp. 230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply | 22:57 |
| scorchgeek | where are you trying to download it to? looks to me like the Error: is on your *local* system | 22:57 |
| Brixius | Ya gotta love it when you look at someones pc(Windows) and they have 6 toolbars installed in IE then have the gull to complain that the computer's slow... | 22:57 |
| scorchgeek | you're trying to download to the root of the FS by mistake | 22:57 |
| [THC]AcidRain | im not logging in as anonymous... | 22:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | eh... what line does that happen on? | 22:58 |
| scorchgeek | 16, 19, and 22 | 22:58 |
| scorchgeek | (I | 22:58 |
| scorchgeek | *(I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like) | 22:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh you mean on my local comp? | 22:59 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: that's what I'm thinking | 22:59 |
| scorchgeek | check what local directory you're in | 22:59 |
| [THC]AcidRain | let me find the settings. ill set it to just download to desktop | 22:59 |
| scorchgeek | ...why not just change the location of one of the panes? | 22:59 |
| === claudio is now known as Guest31952 | ||
| [THC]AcidRain | what do you mean? | 23:00 |
| scorchgeek | well, in filezilla you drag a file from the server pane to the local one right? | 23:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | this ftp server is mounted at /media/Server/FTP | 23:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh yea you could do it like that. i was just double clicking ;) hang on | 23:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, yep. you absolutely right dude :/ epic fail on my part | 23:01 |
| scorchgeek | haha, been there, done that | 23:01 |
| [THC]AcidRain | lol | 23:01 |
| scorchgeek | one time I spent 3 hours troubleshooting why I couldn't connect to my server via SSH, then noticed that openssh-server wasn't installed | 23:01 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, so just to double check now. for files that i do NOT want anyone to modify. permissions should be 755. right? | 23:01 |
| scorchgeek | [THC]AcidRain: yep | 23:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, lol. thats rly funny dude. i just did something like that the other day. i think it was with postfix. spent a good hr wondering why i couldnt connect then realized that i never even installed >_> | 23:02 |
| Richiie | i just think that Unity is crap | 23:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i just reformatted so... lol | 23:02 |
| Richiie | hopefully Gnome 3 will be awesome | 23:03 |
| Richiie | and implemented in Ubuntu 12.04 | 23:03 |
| scorchgeek | Richiie: totally agree, I used unity for 5 minutes and gave up | 23:03 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Richiie, unity is indeed the worse thing to come from the human race | 23:03 |
| Richiie | scorchgeek: i mean why does the ubuntu team aim to deliver so new and poor stuff? | 23:03 |
| Richiie | why change the whole Shell interface | 23:03 |
| Richiie | i mean i like gnome, why not make gnome 3 better and implement it in a standalone Ubuntu install | 23:04 |
| scorchgeek | yeah, have you been to the website since they changed to unity? they're gushing all over how this is the best new interface and really easy to use and stuff | 23:04 |
| Richiie | so ppl can choose ubuntu 12.04 Unity or Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome3 | 23:04 |
| scorchgeek | and it's like, ugh | 23:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | scorchgeek, didnt even last that long man. i couldnt find the "file" menu option on a window. so i rage quit and came back like 30min later and switched to classic | 23:04 |
| Richiie | i think gnome 2 is awesome, easy to use, fast flexible | 23:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Richiie, agreed | 23:05 |
| trankent | fedora 15 crash all time can u help | 23:05 |
| Richiie | its just the most normal best working Desktop manager out there | 23:05 |
| Richiie | hopefully Gnome 3 will be better | 23:05 |

| KittyGirl | Other distros boot fine. | 23:11 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, what version are you trying to install? | 23:11 |
| KittyGirl | [THC]AcidRain: The latest. | 23:12 |
| KittyGirl | obviously. | 23:12 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, im rly not sure. sounds like you know you are doing it right. i just did 11.04 the other day. no issues | 23:12 |
| JetJagurXP | Thanks to who ever answered my question... | 23:12 |
| KittyGirl | [THC]AcidRain: There isn't an 11.04 | 23:13 |
| ahrikun | So, can i ask a quick question? | 23:13 |
| KittyGirl | On the website it says 10.04 is the latest. | 23:13 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ahrikun, plz read the guidelines. dont ask to ask a question. just ask | 23:13 |
| ahrikun | oh | 23:13 |
| ahrikun | sorry | 23:13 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, i had alot of issues with 10.04 myself. might as well install 11.04. its worth it | 23:13 |
| szal | KittyGirl: (1) after download, check checksums (MD5, SHA1 and/or SHA256) -> download the respective checksums file and run e.g. 'md5sum -c checksumfilename' (same syntax for sha1sum and sha256sum).. (2) set CD burning application to verifying the data after burning.. (3) when booting the CD, run the self-test option first | 23:13 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 23:13 |
| ahrikun | Anyways, when choosing a defalut application to open a file or link or somthing, where are the applications located within the fliesystem in natty narwall | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: I've been there. | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | I'm using PowerISO | 23:14 |
| html | i neeed a app to read my flash media | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | to burn the disc. | 23:14 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, the link you posted said 11.04 was latest... | 23:14 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: Then you should see that you can download 11.04 from that URL | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: I'm on a Windows 2000 machine with 8 bit display. | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | Do you know how hard it is to browse the web? | 23:14 |
| KittyGirl | My eyes are burning. | 23:14 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: Pretty old machine? | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | html: nautilus will read usb / sd card style storage | 23:15 |
| ahrikun | Any one know what i'm talking about | 23:15 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: Yes but it will install ubuntu. | 23:15 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, i dont think you can even install linux with an 8bit display | 23:15 |
| KittyGirl | [THC]AcidRain: It's actually a 32bit display without the drivers. | 23:15 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ahrikun, /etc/ i believe | 23:15 |
| ahrikun | ok | 23:15 |
| ahrikun | thanks | 23:15 |
| KittyGirl | I accidentally fucked them up. | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: the failsafe display driver will give more colours | 23:15 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: You'll have much better time with Ubuntu. | 23:15 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: I know. | 23:15 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, that is true. and that failsafe came in very good for me as well | 23:16 |

| KittyGirl | [THC]AcidRain: What? | 23:16 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: You only need a CD. But you could also use a USB flash drive if you like. | 23:16 |
| Rewt` | how do I get rid of the other /git/ | 23:16 |
| bazhang | KittyGirl, no swearing. | 23:16 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: I only need a CD? | 23:16 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Rewt`, change the path manually on the link file | 23:16 |
| KittyGirl | bazhang: I didn't. | 23:16 |
| usr13 | KittyGirl: Yes | 23:16 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, right | 23:17 |
| ahrikun | I was trying to find the install dir for xchat irc so when i clicked on a "join chat now" link it would open the irc with xchat | 23:17 |

| KittyGirl | Oh sorry for swearing. | 23:18 |
| html | user13, i neeed a app to read my flash media | 23:18 |
| KittyGirl | That was automatic. | 23:18 |
| usr13 | JetJagurXP: Actually, just adding to any firewall rules you may already have. | 23:18 |
| ityler15 | any help with bcm43xx wifi card? | 23:18 |

| Daserfost | Ityler15: wat's d problem | 23:19 |
| KittyGirl | usr13: That link doesn't tell me what i'm doing wrong. | 23:19 |
| JetJagurXP | Ok. Maybe I am in the wrong place, I have a 11.04 server and I'm administering using Webmin. Will making these manual changes screw up my existing Firewall setup? | 23:19 |
| KittyGirl | I seem to be burning the disc right. | 23:20 |
| KittyGirl | Is there a setting i should change? | 23:20 |
| KittyGirl | Like the speed and stuff? | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: burn slowly, | 23:20 |
| TeknoCool | i'm back | 23:20 |
| itaylor57 | !webadmin | JetJagurXP | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: be sure you MD5 test the ISO before you use it | 23:20 |
| TeknoCool | and now i'm running ubuntu ^^ | 23:20 |
| TeknoCool | thank you guys! | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | TeknoCool: wtg | 23:20 |
| itaylor57 | !webmin | JetJagurXP | 23:20 |
| ubottu | JetJagurXP: 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. | 23:20 |
| KittyGirl | ActionParsnip: Thank you :) | 23:20 |
| ityler15 | just getting to use the cards firmware without running ~$ sudo modprobe b43 everytime i turn on my laptop | 23:21 |
| TeknoCool | in the end i just gave up on defragmenting | 23:21 |
| JetJagurXP | Oh how nice. Guess I should uninstall it then. | 23:21 |
| usr13 | JetJagurXP: They might, you just have to see. Probably not though... | 23:21 |
| KittyGirl | ActionParsnip: And i don't need a DVD even though the ISo is called *DVD.iso? | 23:21 |
| TeknoCool | thing is i was trying to run the installer w/o mounting the iso | 23:21 |
| TeknoCool | once i mounted the iso and ran the installer things went smoothly | 23:22 |
| TeknoCool | installed it on the same partition as windows lmao | 23:22 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: You need to boot to the CD | 23:22 |
| TeknoCool | i just mounted it with daemon tools | 23:22 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: If you run the installer inside of windows, you will only get wubi | 23:22 |
| TeknoCool | it installed and everything XD | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: if you downloaded the DVD ISO you will need to burn to a DVD media, or use a USB stick (assuming you can boot USB) | 23:22 |
| KittyGirl | ActionParsnip: Oh ok. :) | 23:22 |
| TeknoCool | i had wubi downloaded | 23:23 |
| KittyGirl | thanks you for your help all of you lovely people! | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | when i'd run it it would start downloading the iso | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | but it still wouldn't work | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | so i manually downloaded the iso | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | and mounted it with deamon tools | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | and now i'm running ubuntu | 23:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | just to double check. on a folder that i wanted a user to be able to read and write to. i would set permissions at 775 | 23:23 |
| [THC]AcidRain | correct? | 23:23 |
| usr13 | TeknoCool: Keep your comments on one line. Okay. (Don't use enter for punctuation. | 23:23 |
| TeknoCool | sry | 23:24 |
| zalg | hi, anyone worked with ibm bladecenters >H in the past? :) | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: assuming the user is the owner, or in the group which is the group owner, yes | 23:24 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmm lets say the user is in neither | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | zalg: I do currently, they rock | 23:24 |
| [THC]AcidRain | cause i have a user set as "ftpuser" and is not in the group or owner | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: then it gets the acces in the last ioctet | 23:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh snap | 23:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | but i dont want the user to have execute... | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: 5 = read + execute | 23:25 |
| zalg | ActionParsnip, any side you like a bit less? | 23:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | so... 4? | 23:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | 2 + 2? | 23:25 |
| rhin0 | can't figure out that even when coppying stuff over my network the internet seems to slow down | 23:25 |
| rhin0 | or even -- can't get sites | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | TeknoCool: 4 = read | 23:25 |
| [THC]AcidRain | nah... ill have to look it up | 23:25 |
| flametai1 | Hello FlameTai1_ and welcome to #ubuntu | 23:25 |
| flametai1 | Hello conradev and welcome to #ubuntu | 23:25 |
| rhin0 | anyone know why? | 23:26 |
| flametai1 | Hello G00053 and welcome to #ubuntu | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zalg: how do you mean? | 23:26 |
| TeknoCool | sorry? | 23:26 |
| bazhang | flametai1, stop that | 23:26 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ActionParsnip, so it would be 6 | 23:26 |
| [THC]AcidRain | read + write | 23:26 |
| zulax | when i installed ubuntu server ethernet was working, now that i boot it up i cant ping the internet | 23:26 |
| zalg | ActionParsnip, is there anything about them you do not like or wish would be better? | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: you got it | 23:26 |
| usr13 | flametai1: Turn off our auto greating thing. | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | zalg: not had an issue with them, the kvm is dead handy too :) | 23:26 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ActionParsnip, ok now my second question. lets say i add a file to this folder manually. do i have to reapply the permissions? | 23:27 |
| [THC]AcidRain | since i will probably always be applying permissions with -R | 23:27 |
| usr13 | [THC]AcidRain: Don't see why you have to do it in the first place. | 23:27 |
| FlameTai1_ | bazhang, Sorry about that xD was testing a script in xChat, didn't mean to activate it in #Ubuntu 0.0 | 23:27 |
| KittyGirl | Woah | 23:27 |
| KittyGirl | Lots of errors while writing this disc. | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: that I am not 100% on, maybe someone else can contribute. I believe they copy the containning folder but I may be wrong | 23:28 |
| KittyGirl | hehe wheeeeee | 23:28 |
| [THC]AcidRain | usr13, cause if the proper file permissions arent there, then the user: 1. cant login. 2. cant download | 23:28 |
| usr13 | [THC]AcidRain: man group | 23:28 |
| wolFmitchell | How do I remove ubuntu to put windows on? | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | [THC]AcidRain: all I can really suggest is create a new folder and have a play with permissions, see what happens :) | 23:29 |
| === oscuro1987 is now known as Guest64147 | ||
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: The installer will do it for you. | 23:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ActionParsnip, thats what im doing now | 23:29 |
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: Oh sorry. sudo fdisk | 23:29 |
| [THC]AcidRain | usr13, but even at that. what if a certain group doesnt have proper permissions? i still run into the same issue | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | wolFmitchell: boot to the windows install CD and install it, part of the process is partitioning | 23:29 |
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: Oh sorry. sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 23:29 |
| wolFmitchell | Usr-The windows installer wont open from disk | 23:30 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ActionParsnip, negative on that. the file still has its same permissions | 23:30 |
| wolFmitchell | Err, I cant boot into disk to run the installer | 23:30 |
| itaylor57 | [THC]AcidRain, umask of the user will determine the default permissions on file/dir creation | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | wolFmitchell: then I suggest you ask in ##windows | 23:30 |
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: Then you can't install windows | 23:30 |
| wolFmitchell | Ok | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | wolFmitchell: the fact that ubuntu is installed is moot, the installer wil allow you to remove the partitions and instal as you wish | 23:31 |
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: Are you installing win7 ? | 23:31 |
| [THC]AcidRain | itaylor57, but that isnt the case... | 23:31 |
| wolFmitchell | Usr-Vista | 23:31 |
| Guest64147 | Excuse me is there an ubuntu channel in french? | 23:31 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i have a folder that anyone in the world can add files to. but i also want to add files to them. i cant make me be part of a certain group. that would take permissions away from me | 23:32 |
| usr13 | wolFmitchell: The Vista installer has capability to re-partition the drive | 23:32 |
| usr13 | !fr | Guest64147 | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Guest64147: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 23:32 |
| Guest64147 | Thanks :D | 23:32 |
| KittyGirl | I'm using infra burner and it's at 100% but the writing buffer is still going and the Ok button is grayed out. | 23:32 |
| KittyGirl | Is there something wrong? | 23:32 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, give it a few more seconds | 23:33 |
| KittyGirl | [THC]AcidRain: k :) | 23:33 |
| [THC]AcidRain | its probably finalizing | 23:33 |
| wolFmitchell | Ok\ | 23:33 |
| KittyGirl | Sorry if i'm annoying you all. :( | 23:33 |
| [THC]AcidRain | KittyGirl, never. this is the support channel. thats why people like me are here. only to help and get help. | 23:33 |
| KittyGirl | :) | 23:33 |
| KittyGirl | THank you | 23:33 |
| usr13 | [THC]AcidRain: Adding the users to a common group and assinging the directory and it's contents ownership to that group will do the job for you. | 23:34 |
| [THC]AcidRain | usr13, ok understood. im taking your word for this | 23:34 |
| usr13 | [THC]AcidRain: Trust me, it works. | 23:35 |
| ityler15 | whats the purge command for removing wl from starting up instead of bcm4311? | 23:37 |
| KittyGirl | Grrrrrr! | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: add: blacklist wl to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 23:38 |
| KittyGirl | I still fail to install Ubuntu. :'( | 23:38 |
| KittyGirl | This disc wont boot up. | 23:38 |
| KittyGirl | Where the other disc gives me I/O errors. | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: did you MD5 test the ISO? | 23:38 |
| KittyGirl | ActionParsnip: There weren't an option to do that. | 23:38 |
| KittyGirl | Why is Ubuntu so hard to burn to disc? | 23:38 |
| alien64 | its not hard | 23:39 |
| KittyGirl | I don't have problems with other distros. | 23:39 |
| KittyGirl | damn it | 23:39 |
| RodneyJarvis | KittyGirl: How are you trying to burn it? | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | KittyGirl | 23:39 |
| ubottu | KittyGirl: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:39 |
| KittyGirl | RodneyJarvis: With Infra Recorder. | 23:39 |
| RodneyJarvis | KittyGirl: Do you know the dd command? | 23:40 |
| RodneyJarvis | Is anyone using Irssi? I'm trying to figure out how to search. | 23:40 |
| KittyGirl | Awww | 23:40 |
| KittyGirl | This is too hard. | 23:40 |
| KittyGirl | Sorry i'm not in the mood. | 23:40 |
| RodneyJarvis | KittyGirl: So that means no...? | 23:40 |
| scorchgeek | RodneyJarvis: /lastlog <searchterms> | 23:41 |
| alien64 | RodneyJarvis: try #irssi | 23:41 |
| scorchgeek | and yeah, #irssi might help more next time :D | 23:41 |
| TeknoCool | sry, it's me again | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | KittyGirl: you have failed to test the ISO so you have no way of knowing if the file is complete and healthy, it's not hard in any way | 23:42 |
| RodneyJarvis | scorchgeek: alien64 Thank you, let me try it. | 23:42 |
| rhin0 | can't figure out why even copying files over wirelsss network would slow my internetr down -- can't even get pages when something copying over NFS | 23:43 |
| rhin0 | anyone | 23:43 |
| scorchgeek | rhin0: well, the network is being used, so it seems natural to me that your internet would slow down | 23:43 |
| rhin0 | well I just thought that things would be balanced rather than when something is copying the internet STOPS | 23:43 |
| scorchgeek | though it doesn't normally stop completely, yeah | 23:43 |
| ityler15 | isnt working:/ | 23:44 |
| rhin0 | I will rese the router I have a feeling something isn't right | 23:44 |
| RodneyJarvis | scorchgeek: You are an Irssi user? | 23:45 |
| scorchgeek | RodneyJarvis: yep | 23:45 |
| ityler15 | i could really appreciate some help right now... | 23:46 |
| bazhang | ityler15, with what | 23:46 |
| ityler15 | bcm43xx | 23:46 |
| RodneyJarvis | scorchgeek: I just tried /lastlog linux, which brought back info on #Ubuntu only... | 23:47 |
| RodneyJarvis | scorchgeek: Where am I going wrong? | 23:47 |
| bazhang | ityler15, whats the exact issue please, paste.ubuntu.com with the errors and give us the url | 23:47 |
| scorchgeek | RodneyJarvis: yes, I think it only does one channel at a time | 23:47 |
| KittyGirl | FINE | 23:47 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: my card will start but i think wl is blocking it | 23:47 |
| scorchgeek | RodneyJarvis: I don't know much about irssi, but #irssi should know | 23:47 |
| KittyGirl | I'm going to the time when i used Fedora. | 23:47 |
| ityler15 | i just need the command to remove wl | 23:48 |
| RodneyJarvis | scorchgeek: Ahhh okay, so it's both of us lol. Either way thanks. | 23:48 |
| scorchgeek | KittyGirl: I don't believe your difficulty is due to the actual content of the image you're burning, but whatever | 23:48 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: i just need the command to remove it | 23:48 |
| bazhang | ityler15, remove the module? or blacklist it | 23:48 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: "wl" | 23:48 |
| ityler15 | remove it completely, i did it before and it worked perfectly | 23:49 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: ive removed it before and it word fine but i got a fresh install today | 23:49 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: worked* | 23:49 |
| ityler15 | bazhang: i think the command was purge -r something | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ityler15: if you blacklist the module, it will never load | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ityler15: much easier and less destructive | 23:52 |
| ityler15 | ActionParsnip: whats the command? | 23:52 |
| Gskellig | how much space does ubuntu 11.04 take up on a complete install? | 23:52 |
| TeknoCool | how can i acess my old files from windows? | 23:53 |
| scorchgeek | Gskellig: the Recommended System Requirements say 5GB is recommended: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ityler15: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf add the line: blacklist wl save the new file, reboot to test | 23:53 |
| scorchgeek | it probably actually takes up a bit less than that, though | 23:53 |
| szal | TeknoCool: mount partition, access files | 23:53 |
| === SweatyPilif is now known as Pilif12p | ||
| Gskellig | also, what kind of support does ubuntu have for TRIM and SSDs in general? | 23:53 |
| Gskellig | thanks scorchgeek | 23:53 |
| TeknoCool | mount partition? | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Gskellig: SSDs work great | 23:54 |
| Gskellig | ubuntu has TRIM support? | 23:54 |
| scorchgeek | TeknoCool: it ought to happen automatically if you connect a device | 23:54 |
| TeknoCool | also it's all on the same partition | 23:54 |
| scorchgeek | or, if it's another hard drive partition, when you boot | 23:54 |
| dequeued | so, anyone know about UEFI? | 23:54 |
| Gskellig | last but not least, does anybody have experience with bumblebee? the hybrid linux driver for ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| dequeued | even with no drives or network connection plugged in, when UEFI is enabled, "ubuntu" appears as an option | 23:55 |
| dequeued | is it possible that ubutunu added itself to my motherboard somehow? | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | TeknoCool: if you look in nautilus you should see the windows partition, Ubuntu is installed to Ext4 partitions, they may be on the same drive but not the same partition | 23:56 |
| scorchgeek | dequeued: my gut instinct would say no to that one, but I know nothing whatsoever about UEFI so I couldn't tell you for sure | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dequeued: no, thats not possible. There are some Linuxy things you can use to put Linux in the BIOS, but it's not default in Ubuntu | 23:56 |
| jawashin | Has anyone attempted to add filename encryption to a ecryptfs home directory after setup | 23:57 |
| gogeta1 | bo | 23:58 |
| === gogeta1 is now known as gogeta | ||
| dequeued | I wouldn't think so either, ActionParsnip | 23:59 |
| gogeta | to silent | 23:59 |
| dequeued | but there it is.. | 23:59 |
| TeknoCool | i see a cd drive a generic multicard and a file system | 23:59 |
| jawashin | I found that I have to manually add a session key and mount.ecryptfs_private to have my home directory be readable. (error is regarding the failure to add a filename encryption key) | 23:59 |
