| thiconZ | can someone let me know if the latest version of Ubuntu is compatible with a Compaq nx9010 laptop? | 00:13 |
| Ellipsis753 | edbian, thanks I'll try that | 00:13 |
| edbian | Ellipsis753: haha, ok. That was 15 minutes? | 00:13 |
| edbian | ago? | 00:13 |
| Tomatix_ | so, uh, which command would help me figuring what process(es) blocks unmounting my USB stick? | 00:13 |
| edbian | thiconZ: The best way to know is to boot a liveCD and see for yourself. | 00:13 |
| Ellipsis753 | edbian, sure, I afk sometimes. sorry | 00:13 |
| Be-Love | openswan tunnels not working after Hardy->Lucid upgrade. Getting an EVENT_CRYPTO_FAILED error. Anyone happen to be an Openswan guru? | 00:14 |
| edbian | Ellipsis753: no worries. I was watching futurama! | 00:14 |
| thiconZ | edbian i would but the problem is the laptop doesn't really boot up with any OS right now since i had to rebuild it with out one | 00:14 |
| edbian | thiconZ: If you can't boot a liveCD you won't be able to install linux | 00:15 |
| edbian | thiconZ: I don't think you understand what a liveCD is | 00:15 |
| thiconZ | i understand what it is | 00:15 |
| thiconZ | i've used one before | 00:15 |
| edbian | thiconZ: I don't understand why it matters that this machine doesn't have an OS and was re-built recently. | 00:16 |
| thiconZ | i got it on a USB right now but not a CD | 00:16 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Then boot the liveUSB | 00:16 |
| edbian | thiconZ: ? | 00:16 |
| thiconZ | umm well i tried that | 00:16 |
| edbian | thiconZ: What happened? | 00:16 |
| thiconZ | but it started up and went to the Ubuntu screen and during it's loading screen the screen went black and has been black for like 15 minutes or so now | 00:17 |
| kinglet | Hello guys, I want to install Ubuntu 11.04 on my notebook (HP Probook 4530s) but I got this error "Kernel - Panic, Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" and after restart win7 cannot load and I had to resore it! I tried Ubuntu 10.04 and got same problem. What do you think? | 00:17 |
| thiconZ | and thats why i am asking if anyone knows if it works with the laptop | 00:17 |
| thiconZ | so do you think that means it isn't compatible with it edbian? | 00:18 |
| edbian | thiconZ: aaah, this is a common problem recently. Have you tried nomodeset? | 00:19 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Also, this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen | 00:19 |
| thiconZ | hmm that link you gave me is not what is happening to me | 00:20 |
| Kamikaze | if i install Linux Fedora(in one other partition) alongside with Ubuntu, would they conflict with each other, or harm anyhow my PC/systems ? | 00:20 |
| edbian | thiconZ: What is different? | 00:20 |
| thiconZ | umm the back light is lit and i have a mouse | 00:20 |
| thiconZ | and every now and then i am able to move the mouse | 00:20 |
| edbian | thiconZ: But everything is black? | 00:20 |
| edbian | thiconZ: behind the mouse? | 00:21 |
| thiconZ | yes | 00:21 |
| Kamikaze | if i install Linux Fedora(in one other partition) alongside with Ubuntu, would they conflict with each other, or harm anyhow my PC/systems ? | 00:21 |
| thiconZ | but the BIOS screen isn't appearing like the link said would | 00:21 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Can you press ctrl + alt + F1 ? | 00:21 |
| thiconZ | i will try now | 00:21 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: You'll need to edit grub but that should be it | 00:21 |
| thiconZ | hmm i am not able to edbian | 00:22 |
| krux | Kamikaze, you could have 100 os loaded into grub if you wanted to should not affect each other :) | 00:22 |
| Joe0006 | how to download boot-up manager for ubuntu ? | 00:22 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Well if you don't see a bios screen that's because you turned it off on the computer (or it came with the POST message turned off). The bios happens before and is completely independent of the OS. | 00:22 |
| n4dsp | is there a ubuntu download that will translate to english other languages for websites? | 00:22 |
| thiconZ | i opened the BIOS before i ran the LiveUSB and made sure it was set to boot from the USB | 00:23 |
| edbian | thiconZ: reboot and press escape early in the boot process | 00:23 |
| thiconZ | okay | 00:23 |
| Kamikaze | krux: edbian i would be glad if i knew what's the "grub" :) im sorry im a new guys in this field and not so well skilled ) | 00:23 |
| hylian | Joe0006, to do what? | 00:23 |
| edbian | thiconZ: It's good that you set the bios to boot the USB. The fact that you see anything ubuntu at all means that step is working | 00:23 |
| thiconZ | okay | 00:23 |
| Joe0006 | ok i found out | 00:23 |
| Joe0006 | thanks | 00:23 |
| thiconZ | i rebooted and entered BIOS | 00:23 |
| krux | Kamikaze, grub would be the boot loader | 00:23 |
| thiconZ | should i just exit BIOS and continue boot up? | 00:24 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: grub is a program that sits in the very beginning of the hdd. It tells the motherboard where the OS's are | 00:24 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Please use my name when talking to me :) Unless you wanna PM ? | 00:24 |
| faustisch | I downloaded the source code to gnome-applets, please will anyone tell me where Wanda the Fish is? | 00:24 |
| faustisch | I did not find it in gnome-applets | 00:24 |
| thiconZ | lol okay, idc which way | 00:24 |
| edbian | thiconZ: (yes, exit bios settings) are you saying escape key entered the bios in the first place? | 00:24 |
| thiconZ | edbian: yes | 00:24 |
| edbian | thiconZ: alright, when you see ubuntu anything press escape. Let's PM | 00:25 |
| thiconZ | edbian: could we maybe actually use PM to make it a bit easier? | 00:25 |
| thiconZ | lol okay | 00:25 |
| hylian | faustisch, actually it's in a gnome applet called fish, no in gnome-applets. | 00:25 |
| Kamikaze | krux: edbian how cool:) so i have 4 partitions, 1 of them is Ubuntu, 2 of them are Data partitions(music,video,pics etc) and the last one is unused completely, so if i install fedora in this unused one, would be everything great ?:) | 00:25 |
| faustisch | hylian, thank you | 00:26 |
| hylian | faustisch, where you looking for the fish source, or the file where the quotes are? | 00:26 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: Fedora should install grub so that you can boot both Ubuntu and Fedora (a menu when your computer boots). I'm not sure fedora will do that. It should. If it does not come back and I can help you fix it | 00:26 |
| krux | ^^ | 00:26 |
| hylian | faustisch, no problem | 00:27 |
| faustisch | hylian, fish - a friendly interactive shell | 00:27 |
| faustisch | hylian, that's what apt-cache says | 00:27 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: you are completely kindness :) thanks for support Sr. actually I'm gonna install backtrack not fedora) for some reason i did't want to say that :D | 00:28 |
| hylian | faustisch, yeah, some people use a program called fortune, or fortunes to add funny quotes to fish, and that's a pretty common question, so i thought i would ask. | 00:28 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: ha-sure | 00:28 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: don't mention that again :) | 00:28 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: :D | 00:28 |
| krux | better backtrack than fedora LOL.. hate rpms | 00:29 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: Sr, can ext4 file system contain date files? like music pics videos etc... ?) | 00:29 |
| faustisch | hylian, yeah, I use offensive fortunes | 00:29 |
| hylian | faustisch, i was wrong, a webiste says it's in the package fish, but i believe it to be in the package gnome-panel-data under the fish heading | 00:29 |
| faustisch | hylian, thanks bro | 00:30 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: yes | 00:30 |
| hylian | faustisch, hope it helps. | 00:30 |
| petriborg | in 10.04, i seem to have removed / lost one of my menus (the icon menu that Empathy and mail show up in) - anyone know what its named in the "add to panel" dialog, or how to otherwise get it back? | 00:30 |
| xangua | !panels | petriborg | 00:31 |
| ubottu | petriborg: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:31 |
| xangua | or just add teh indicator | 00:31 |
| rumpe1 | petriborg, indicator complete | 00:31 |
| petriborg | ah thanks xangua / rumpe1 | 00:31 |
| petriborg | that worked, thanks | 00:31 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: well, while i will be installing backtrack i will delete all partitions, and divide them again for 4 pieces, my question is, should i create all of them in ext4 file system ?:) sorry for long and boring questions. | 00:31 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: If you delete all partitions you will delete all your personal data and ubuntu | 00:32 |
| faustisch | is the next Ubuntu release going to be shipped with GNOME 3? | 00:32 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: im aware of that, but afterwards i done removal, should i re-create all partitions as ext4 file system ? | 00:33 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: You can. Or you can do it with the ubuntu installer (assuming you're going to reinstall ubuntu | 00:33 |
| needhelp2 | hello | 00:33 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: because it offers some other file system types such as fat 16 32 ext4 3 and some other kinds, im not sure which one i need therefore im asking ) | 00:34 |
| needhelp2 | I'm trying to install ubuntu but it keeps failing to load because of a wireless card, ubuntu thinks its another driver but its not, which causes a kernel crash | 00:34 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: ext4 | 00:34 |
| hylian | faustisch, that's what they say, gnome 3 will be there instead of gnome 2... or maybe just the shell?? | 00:34 |
| induz | is there any s/w application to write batch files that read one after one | 00:34 |
| faustisch | hylian, I can't wait | 00:34 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: thanks :) | 00:34 |
| needhelp2 | how do I either disable networkmanager (so it doesn't try to use the card with an incorrect driver) or what I want most is to disable the driver / module all together | 00:35 |
| needhelp2 | ? | 00:35 |
| induz | I want to run 2-3 batch files but i want to select them at different orders | 00:35 |
| induz | is it possible in ubuntu | 00:35 |
| hylian | faustisch, i agree, i consider gnome 3 to be light years ahead of unity.. | 00:35 |
| induz | NetBeans can do it?? | 00:36 |
| triplc | hi all | 00:36 |
| hylian | induz, i am having a hard time understanding exactly what you are referring to, you want them to go off one at a time, at a certain time, i.e. 3pm? | 00:36 |
| hylian | triplc, hello | 00:37 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: may i ask one other question ? pls | 00:37 |
| Jordan_U | induz: Can you try to clarify what you're trying to do? What is your end goal? | 00:37 |
| induz | hylian, not at scheduled time...but in different orders | 00:37 |
| triplc | Which command to tell udev reload it's rules (/etc/udev/rules") for ubuntu 10.04 (lts)? (no need to reboot)? | 00:37 |
| needhelp2 | any help ? | 00:37 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: yes | 00:37 |
| hylian | induz, just one after another, or after a certain command or operation in the batch file has completed? | 00:38 |
| Kamikaze | edbian: is deletion of partition and re-create it equal to formating it ? is it the same thing ? | 00:38 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: yes | 00:38 |
| edbian | Kamikaze: effectively | 00:38 |
| induz | hylian, the second option... | 00:38 |
| Kamikaze | thanks Sr :) | 00:38 |
| needhelp2 | Kamikaze: can you see my text (checking that I can speak in channel without auth) ? | 00:39 |
| hylian | induz, i don;t know off hand, but let me take a crack at it. | 00:39 |
| induz | hylian, pl | 00:39 |
| Kamikaze | needhelp2: i do :) | 00:39 |
| hylian | induz, i'm gonna see if i can find info on google | 00:39 |
| needhelp2 | :/ | 00:39 |
| needhelp2 | all these people here and not one idea ? | 00:39 |
| th0r | needhelp2: you didn't give much information....you reap what you sow | 00:40 |
| triplc | Which command to tell udev reload it's rules (/etc/udev/rules.d") for ubuntu 10.04 (lts)? (no need to reboot)? (question reposted) | 00:40 |

| induz | hylian, batchcomander is there but...but i am looing for something better | 00:41 |
| mandarg | needhelp2: You could begin by telling us the exact error message | 00:41 |
| hylian | if anyone can help induz, i'd appreciate it. he wants a way to launch batch files in a given order per operation, i believe | 00:42 |
| === marcuy_ is now known as marcuy | ||
| hylian | induz, well, i'll do a little more research. | 00:43 |
| induz | hylian, thanks | 00:43 |
| hylian | induz, there is a call procedure for batch commands that might do the tricl, here's the website for it: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/call.php | 00:44 |
| hylian | induz, i goofed up, that's for ms windows batch files, i yiy yiy. | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | induz: Can you try to clarify what you're trying to do? What is your end goal? | 00:45 |
| induz | Jordan_U, my end goal is to call different batch files as and when i want them | 00:46 |
| induz | Jordan_U, but i want to have a program not m,any differnt batch files | 00:47 |
| hylian | induz, this gives some help in bash batch calling. you would have to build a master batch file to control the others, here's where i get my info: http://nixcraft.com/shell-scripting/564-call-function-bash.html | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | induz: First, in *NIX they're called "shell scripts". I still don't understand what you want. Can you give me an example scenario? For instance "I wand to be able to type 'backitup' in a terminal and have it run my backup script"? | 00:48 |
| hylian | induz then the proper way to call another bash script would be like this: /bin/bash /home/mylnx/script_a | 00:48 |
| edbian | Hello? | 00:49 |
| hylian | edbian, hello back... :) | 00:49 |
| edbian | hylian: thanks | 00:49 |
| edbian | thiconZ: Hi! | 00:49 |
| hylian | Jordan_U, he wants to be able to control a script's launch based on a operation in another script, like calling on a sub. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: that's fine. Very possible | 00:51 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip, great, can you tell induz how, he is the one who needs the answer... thanks! :) | 00:51 |
| induz | Jordan_U, I want to type 'User' in terminal and it should show me all the USERS in a group | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: keep your scripts in /usr/bin you can call a script and have it perform some logic, you can then call other scripts and it will work | 00:52 |
| linuxuz3r_ | induz, try grep 1000 /etc/passwd | 00:53 |
| induz | ActionParsnip, ok I may try that...but i want to have a master file | 00:54 |
| edbian | thiconZ: hello? | 00:54 |
| linuxuz3r_ | hi | 00:54 |
| linuxuz3r_ | sup | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: that's fine, no problem | 00:55 |
| MagicJ | I have installed thunderbird and want to use enigmail with it. Enigmail tells me that it can;t run with Thunderbird 3.1.11 - do I have the wrong version of the addon or thunderbird | 00:55 |
| * hylian thinks thiconZ is afk or a net zombie | 00:55 | |
| ActionParsnip | induz: the commands in a script can be the usual stock commands or you can use your own scripts | 00:56 |
| hylian | ActionParsnip, by the way, thanks for being helpful! :) | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: always | 00:56 |
| edbian | thiconZ: I am here!!! | 00:56 |

| marriedman624 | yeah i know 9.10 isn't supported anymore, but it took me forever to get my wifi working so I don't want to lose that | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | assuming the right libs are on 9.10 to run the newer versions | 01:03 |

| bazhang | sonn /join #winehq | 01:13 |
| Pauliax | any and grafic card users? | 01:13 |
| bazhang | Pauliax, what is the real question | 01:13 |
| markdaws | hi - I am trying to configure the tcp_fin_timeout value, using "sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=15" the value changes but it doesn't actually change the timeout for the TIME_WAIT state, looking in "netstat -o" I can see the TIME_WAIT TCP connections are still timing out from the default of 60 seconds. Changing other values like ip_conntrack_max does have an effect on the system. How can I change the tcp_fin_timeout value | 01:13 |
| markdaws | on ubuntu, thanks | 01:13 |
| sonn | thank for renseignement :) | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Pauliax: most oldder/ not supported by the fglrx drivers cards.. normally work with the open sourced drivers to some degree.. what IS your card doing/not doing exctly | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Pauliax: many new cards/just released. may not work with the cuirrent version of the fglrx drivers. | 01:14 |
| urlin2u | faryshta, there is a ubuntu wiki on broadcom cards | 01:15 |
| p_res | a/v card are touch and go. sometimes it's best to just try it. or google it first. | 01:15 |
| Pauliax | do anyone updates amd drivers, and talk about free source drivers i want to have 3D | 01:15 |
| bazhang | Pauliax, please ask a detailed question; asking that way will get zero response | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Pauliax: that statement did not make much sence.. if amd/ati does not have proper fglrx drivers for the card.. then you will be limited in your options. | 01:16 |
| p_res | do you feel in competition with other linux distros? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | p_res, not the channel for that | 01:17 |
| p_res | then where? | 01:17 |
| p_res | offtopic? | 01:17 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic p_res | 01:18 |
| p_res | thanks | 01:18 |
| p_res | ;-) | 01:18 |
| Pauliax | lont time on ubuntu, and opensuse i had no 3d, no amd stoped releasing they drivers HD 2600 | 01:18 |
| bazhang | Pauliax, so they have no support for 3D? | 01:18 |
| Pauliax | now has, but i am in fear | 01:19 |
| Pauliax | since amd no longer has driver dowload | 01:20 |
| Pauliax | is it my crafic card? | 01:20 |
| Kaidelong | just about everything stopped working after ubuntu upgraded itself to natty narwhal. Most of that seems fixed now, given that I'm here talking about it. Empathy now hangs on startup, and that didn't happen before | 01:21 |
| bazhang | Kaidelong, nothing upgrades itself | 01:21 |
| xplo | hey there, is there a public Discount Code for the buying of ubuntu cd's ? | 01:21 |
| Kaidelong | what I think is happening is | 01:21 |
| Pauliax | Ubuntu working good, just ww.amd.com not | 01:21 |
| xplo | i remember when it was free.. Good times. | 01:22 |
| Kaidelong | empathy is waiting for dbus to do something | 01:22 |
| Kaidelong | and it is just sitting there waiting | 01:22 |
| bazhang | Kaidelong, sounds like a bug, file one | 01:22 |
| bazhang | !bugs > Kaidelong | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Kaidelong, please see my private message | 01:22 |
| Kaidelong | I want to make sure it is not user error first | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Pauliax: if ati/amd dropped support for the card from the offical fglrx drivers.. then its gone.. you must use the open sourced drivers.. Unless we are missunderstanding your problem. | 01:24 |
| Nighthwk | Can anyone help me why ubuntu 11.04 crashes transfering a 15gig file on samba? | 01:25 |
| Pauliax | i dont know about, my grapfic card but what chood i use? | 01:26 |
| xplo | hey there, is there a public Discount Code for the buying of ubuntu cd's ? | 01:26 |
| xplo | or a way to still have one free ? | 01:26 |
| selite | Hello Everyone when trying to open Skype I get "another instance of Skype is running" error and I can't login? Anyone willing to help? | 01:26 |
| muellisoft | selite: have you tried to reboot..? (I'm not messing) | 01:27 |
| === muellisoft is now known as Muelli | ||
| === aetas is now known as Guest5539 | ||
| selite | muellisoft: Yes I tried it. Still, same thing | 01:27 |
| Guest5539 | Ok, have this really strange question I'm hoping you guys can help with....is there a way to make a sort of pipe that when someone does fopen like a normal file, it runs a program and connects to its stdin/out? | 01:27 |
| rocfatcat | #join Coscup | 01:27 |
| Kaidelong | yeah I think this might be a bug in empathy | 01:28 |
| Kaidelong | I'll go to bugs | 01:28 |
| Muelli | selite: hm. I don't Skype at all, but I'd imagine it to put a file in ~/.skype or ~/.local/skype/ or so. Could you check those locations and move files to /tmp/ if they exist? | 01:28 |
| === Guest5539 is now known as aetas | ||
| === bkoerber is now known as benrc | ||
| Kaidelong | I will try rebooting first just in case | 01:29 |
| aetas | Aww....no one has heard of such a pipe? :( | 01:29 |
| selite | Muelli: I have no idea where to find the Skype directory. | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | Guest5539: You can "mkfifo /path/to/fifo; cat /path/to/fifo | my_command". | 01:29 |
| Jordan_U | Guest42032: What is your end goal? | 01:29 |
| Muelli | selite: maybe ~/.skype/ open a file browser and browse your directory. A shell might be easier to use though. | 01:30 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: ^^ | 01:30 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, I want it so when Xorg tries to read a conf file, it launches a program which lets it read its output instead of a file | 01:30 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, I thought that would be sexy | 01:30 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: it worked | 01:30 |
| hylian | marriedman624, alright, glad to hear it! | 01:31 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: now I have to upgrade flash player from tar.gz............can you help me with that?? | 01:31 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: That can certainly be accomplished with a fifo, but it sounds like an awefully ugly hack. Why do you want to be able to do this when Xorg can already configure itself dynamically? | 01:31 |
| hylian | marriedman624, hmm, i can try. do you have the file already? | 01:31 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: yes, just extracted it | 01:32 |
| hylian | marriedman624, ahh, good man. ok look inside, again we are looking for bin or make files | 01:32 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, I'm running into a problem where if I configure my mouse's button mappings in the config then they get all screwed to hell. If I set them using xinput with the same, it works perfectly. I wanted to make it so that whenever Xorg read that file, it would go ahead and set them via xinput | 01:32 |
| hylian | marriedman624, there might also be a file with a simple name, i.e. flash, or flashplugin | 01:33 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, how would it work with the fifo? Im curious, even if I dont go that route | 01:33 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: there is a usr folder and a lib file, in the usr folder there is a bin folder, and in the bin folder there is flash-player-properties | 01:34 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: can i update flash player from apt? | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: The first thing you should do is figure out how to properly set this up in the Xorg.conf. If there really is a bug you're running into you should file a bug report. | 01:34 |
| bazhang | marriedman624, thats not the way to upgrade flash | 01:34 |
| marriedman624 | bazhang: which way? | 01:34 |
| bazhang | marriedman624, go outside package management and you will have to manually update that every time | 01:34 |
| hylian | marriedman624, yeah, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 01:35 |
| bazhang | marriedman624, use the package manager, which is the supported method | 01:35 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, bug reports dont fix bugs. that would take a week or two to get that fixed and I need something consistent and working now. filing a bug report is not a better solution than a hack since atleast a hack will work now | 01:35 |
| marriedman624 | hylian: bazhang I'll give it a try........hold on | 01:35 |
| hylian | bazhang, apt IS the package manager. it's the command line version of synaptic... | 01:35 |
| bazhang | hylian, yes, I am aware of that.. | 01:36 |
| Kaidelong | found the culprit | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: Right now you can modify your xinitrc or set a script to run when your gnome session starts. | 01:36 |
| Kaidelong | upgrade wizard seems to have removed some packages empathy needed | 01:36 |
| Kaidelong | just reinstalled it and now it works | 01:36 |
| hylian | bazhang, ohh, maybe i missed something... | 01:36 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: mkfifo /etc/X11/xorg.conf; while cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf-real > /etc/X11/xorg.conf; do myscript; done | 01:37 |
| bazhang | hylian, he was trying to manually upgrade flash, outside package management | 01:37 |
| cypha | i'd like alt+1 to be made available in my terminal | 01:37 |
| cypha | how can I unbind it? | 01:37 |
| hylian | bazhang, ohh, i miss understood. he is using 9.10, and may not have another option. i don't know how well it's maintained being not supported, | 01:38 |
| bazhang | hylian, its end of life, so not supported here | 01:38 |
| bazhang | !eol > marriedman624 | 01:39 |
| ubottu | marriedman624, please see my private message | 01:39 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, am I correct in assuming that won't restart after its been read once? I know you can get around it, just wanted to verify | 01:39 |
| bazhang | marriedman624, if you are on 9.10 then upgrade to a supported version | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: That is the purpose of the while loop. | 01:39 |
| hylian | bazhang, yeah, i know. i told him that, but i am willing to try and help... | 01:39 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, the reason I haven't relied on init scripts is because its part of a KVM that gets switched out often. The closest I can get is with udev and an init script both | 01:40 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: Otherwise you could freeze Xorg as it blocks on the read from a fifo that's getting no input (you hopefully starting to see the uglyness in this). | 01:40 |
| marriedman624 | bazhang: I understand what eol is and the 9.10 isn't supported, but until I get a chance to upgrade I'm going to have to run with 9.10...........thanks for the help | 01:40 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, do you know if Xorg reloads configs when devices are inserted or do they rely on their already loaded config? | 01:40 |
| oneman | hello | 01:40 |
| Jordan_U | aetas: I would expect it to be the latter, but I don't know. | 01:40 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, I didnt ask you to show me so I can use it, I asked you to show me so I can learn the concept ;) | 01:40 |
| hylian | marriedman624, why are you still using 9.10, by the way, hardware run better on it, or ?? here is a list of the supported versions: https://help.ubuntu.com/ | 01:40 |
| bazhang | marriedman624, unsupported means dont ask for support here | 01:41 |

| hylian | marriedman624, i am in pm mode with ya. | 01:43 |
| aetas | Jordan_U, I appreciate the help and the pipe thing is a neat trick I may use utility-wise some day. I think udev + initrc will be best for now. Which initrc should I stick it? | 01:43 |

| katronixserf | hylian yes I did | 01:56 |
| Dr_Willis | jiohdi: check your x logs,. or start them via 'startx' and watch the console for output/errors | 01:57 |
| jiohdi | Dr_Willis thanks, will do | 01:57 |
| Pauliax | reinstall your drivers, shold help | 01:57 |
| * Dr_Willis doubts that reinstalling drivers would help if GDM is working.. | 01:58 | |
| hylian | KatronixSerf, one method is "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm /etc/init/gdm.disabled" | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | try a differnt window maanger like icewm, and see if it works. as a test. | 01:58 |

| zakwilson | I'm using LXDE and trying to use compiz with it, but I have no title bars on my windows. I do have title bars with Gnome+Compiz. The information I'm finding about Compiz and missing title bars in four years old and doesn't seem like it should depend on what DE is running. Any suggestions? | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | lxde uses openbox by default., you could run compiz --replace and perahps make it start, and run the proper window-decorator if they vanish. | 02:07 |
| Pauliax | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749312 | 02:07 |
| zakwilson | Dr_Willis: I did run compiz --replace, and compiz is currently running. I have no title bars and window controls. Running compiz-decorator attempts to run emerald, which promptly segfaults. Running emerald directly also segfaults. | 02:10 |
| Pauliax | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1749312 | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | use the gtk-decorator perhaps. emerald is basically a dead project. | 02:11 |
| xangua | zakwilson: you need to install a window decorator compiz supports, like metacity | 02:11 |
| hylian | katronixserf, did that help? | 02:11 |
| xangua | nonsense using a light desktop with compiz | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | the light desktop is just like the file manager and the panel... :) so whats it matter. | 02:12 |
| hylian | xangua, humans do like nonsense form time to time :) | 02:12 |
| hylian | xangua, i love my fvwm with compiz, it's pretty, LOL | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | i really dont get enough extra 'use' out of compiz to justify using it... | 02:13 |
| edbian | hylian: I'm learning to set up fvwm on my laptop! How do you change the applications that show up in the menu? | 02:13 |
| xangua | hylian: well ok, but if you have fewer resources ... | 02:13 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: Can't live without the scale plugin | 02:14 |
| hylian | xangua, i was being silly. | 02:14 |
| zakwilson | Dr_Willis: I'm not sure how to use the GTK decorator. There isn't a program called gtk-decorator or similar that I can find, and compiz-decorator just runs emerald. | 02:16 |
| hylian | edbian, this is what i used to help me. instead of gnome's pretty alacarte gui menu editor, you have ot edit a file... http://zensites.net/fvwm/guide/menu.html | 02:17 |

| hylian | edbian, also, if you have gnome installed there is a tool for adding what's in gnome's menu to the fvwm menu... | 02:18 |
| Dr_Willis | theres only like 3 decoratiors,. :) one for gtk, one for qt, and emerald | 02:18 |
| zakwilson | xangua: Gnome is slow to load and I keep finding gnome-settings-daemon doing disk IO for no reason that I can tell. I don't lack for memory, cpu or gpu, so it's not exactly that I want *light*, but I want non-broken. | 02:19 |

| Tracks | How is htis possible? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Tracks: you mean your 'sudo' password in the terminal is differnt then the one taht gksudo wants? | 02:40 |
| Tracks | I cna't access root through the terminal now? | 02:40 |

| DasEi | Tracks: could be different language (z=y) or shift pressed | 02:41 |
| Tracks | But it used to and some computer setting have changed so someone compromisd my system. | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Tracks: you should be using 'sudo' as needed... what are you running 'su pw' for ? | 02:41 |
| Tracks | To download CPAN stuff for Perl. | 02:41 |
| Tracks | Modules. | 02:41 |
| DasEi | cire_: all fine, no problem, it's just too crowded else, if you "nick me , your message gives me a highlighted color | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | su by default dosent grant root access on ubuntu I beluive.. unless you did some changes to it. | 02:42 |
| Tracks | Okay that worked sorry Dr_Willis. | 02:42 |
| Tracks | sudo works | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | 02:42 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

| DasEi | cire_: ah | 02:43 |
| DasEi | cire_: open another terminal ? | 02:43 |
| cire_ | DasEi: same problem even i opened another terminal | 02:45 |
| DasEi | cire_: damn, batterie of my chrystal ball are empty, can I pm you ? | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | cire_: It's normal for characters not to appear when you're entering your password, it's for better security (people can't see how long your password is). | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | cire_: Just enter your password and hit enter. | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | cire_: you do know that when entering a password.. it wont echo back any characters or anything at all.. :) for many cases.. | 02:47 |
| DasEi | cire_: ..but you should have seen pastebinit installed | 02:47 |
| DasEi | cire_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 02:47 |

| Neoncamouflage | I changed Ubuntu so it booted to text instead of the splashscreen, which I hated. But when turning off it displays a text something like "System going down for halt NOW!". Is there any way to change the text to something nicer, like a simple "System shutting down"? | 02:51 |
| escott | Jordan_U, i'll strongly disagree with the "it is better for security argument" but you should see how people freak out when a password is not astericked out | 02:51 |
| DasEi | cire_: sudo lspci | grep Audio | pastebinit | 02:51 |

| slackin | Why does ubuntu murder ascii text when ssh'd in to my server? This only happens with ubuntu and I use several different distros on different servers. All of them look great except ubuntu absolutely destroys my text, especially when using stuff like 'mc', basicly anything that uses ascii | 02:55 |

| Polah | using dpkg --get-selections I see a number of packages marked "deinstall", which I believe to mean they are removed but their configuration files remain. If I were to to dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall > packagelist, then edit that list to change "deinstall" to purge and then use dpkg --set-selections < packagelist would that safely set all file labelled "deinstall" to "purge"? | 03:24 |

| groktar | woot i got my samba thing working | 03:29 |
| selite | Guys , How do I change the email order in Evolution to appear from newest emails to oldest? | 03:29 |
| DasEi | destrier: not really, though you can set if things go to disk imediatly or are buffered | 03:29 |
| Dr_Willis | destrier: im not sure how it would work if X died and killed off your word processor.. the wp would need the feature to recover the docs.. not the windowmanager/desktop | 03:30 |
| rumpe1 | destrier, depends on the application, not generally | 03:30 |
| Dr_Willis | auto-save very 5 min.... is a handy feature :) | 03:30 |
| selite | Guys , How do I change the email order in Evolution to appear from newest emails to oldest? | 03:31 |
| groktar | i'm crazy excited about this, because now i don't need to make 5 admin accounts on 16 servers | 03:31 |
| destrier | Dr_Willis: it's sometimes implemented as a system feature - certainly to recover the session, information about the currently running apps would need to be known, yes | 03:31 |
| olimones | lighta: It works with wget but it opens with firefox and im not sure if it plays itself from my pc of from internet. I wil disconnect to make sure | 03:32 |
| OomElvis | rumpe1: nah, didnt work | 03:32 |
| destrier | rumpel: sure, it would have to be a feature enabled app by app | 03:32 |
| OomElvis | :1{ | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | keeping track of running apps is one thing.. getting the apps back to their 'old' state.. is the harder part. | 03:32 |
| DasEi | cire_: I suggest you either try another time, providing the info we pulled so far, or, if not on straight budget, get a simple pci-card (and NO SB_xFI for another 50), that can be made, though still has bugs | 03:32 |
| destrier | DasEi: sounds interesting, so that would save just documents? | 03:32 |

| Dr_Willis | riz0n: you can set up grub2 to boot ISO files and do it that way I belive | 03:38 |
| mukti | Dr_Willis: I ment Vim, my phone auto corrected it | 03:39 |
| DasEi | riz0n: yes, but lil' tricky, you can look for grub2's support in booting live cd's and then have two different entries | 03:39 |
| riz0n | DasEi: My goal is to have Ubuntu installer x86 and x64, Windows Xp, Vista and 7 all on one flash drive. | 03:39 |
| Bl4ckbird | rofl. | 03:40 |
| mukti | Is there something I need to enable? It doesn't seem like I can install anything using apt... | 03:40 |
| DasEi | riz0n: put a howto on the net when done | 03:40 |
| gskellig | riz0n, please do | 03:40 |
| riz0n | The Vista and 7 copies I'm downloading are "all" versions and have 32-bit and 64-bit in the ISO, so I don't have to worry about them. | 03:40 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, whats the exact command you used for apt-get? | 03:40 |
| mukti | sudo apt-get install vim | 03:41 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, You perhaps need a "sudo apt-get update" | 03:41 |
| riz0n | and im not too concerned about including the XP x64 Edition on my drive as it is very uncommon | 03:41 |

| olimones | just as I thought. It opens from internet. when I am not connected it doesn't play. | 03:42 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, just the sources | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mukti: sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade, then try again | 03:43 |
| mukti | And all that does is update/upgrade sources? | 03:43 |
| Bl4ckbird | upgrade will change your running systerm | 03:43 |
| Bl4ckbird | system | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | updates listings.. upgrades system,.... | 03:43 |
| mukti | So, everything that needs to be updated will be updated? | 03:44 |
| DasEi | mukti: apt-get update does both, re-reading sources and applying updates, same with upgrade installs newer versions of packets (if any) | 03:44 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, update=get fresh infos, upgrade=update applications ... it's a bit confusing | 03:44 |

| EKUriox | Any of y'all got gnome3 working yet ? | 03:45 |
| |Slacker| | nope, not me | 03:46 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, its not supported here, and breaks things so, no | 03:46 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | EKUriox | 03:46 |
| ubottu | EKUriox: 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. | 03:46 |
| mukti | So will this do the same thing as the update manager? | 03:46 |
| EKUriox | What do you mean it "breaks " things | 03:46 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, experimental and unstable | 03:46 |
| rww | EKUriox: Sounds self-evident to me. You install the PPA. Stuff stops working. Yay breakage. | 03:47 |
| EKUriox | Oh... You must be reffering it keeps disables those accounts that are disabled. | 03:47 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, cannot be downgraded, that is the one | 03:47 |
| rww | EKUriox: no, I'm not | 03:47 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, no | 03:47 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, "apt-get update" is really not dangerous at all | 03:47 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, did you have an actual support question? | 03:47 |
| mukti | But, will this do the same thing as the update manager? | 03:47 |
| EKUriox | How do you install Gnome3 | 03:47 |
| rww | EKUriox: ubottu just highlighted you with the details | 03:48 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, what update-manager? | 03:48 |
| EKUriox | Yea that doesn't work | 03:48 |
| EKUriox | tried it befr. | 03:48 |
| rww | EKUriox: Well yes, that would be what "EXPERIMENTAL and UNSTABLE" implies. | 03:48 |
| mukti | rumpe1, The GUI application to update your system | 03:48 |
| EKUriox | gnome3 has numerous source to build it... Do you suggest using those? | 03:48 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, they usually also use apt-get, just with eyecandy around it | 03:49 |
| EKUriox | Also... | 03:49 |
| rww | EKUriox: no | 03:49 |
| rumpe1 | mukti, just do the update :D | 03:49 |
| EKUriox | have you all figured out the encyrtion errors ? | 03:49 |
| EKUriox | AT load out there is this constant encryption error | 03:49 |
| bazhang | EKUriox, what errors exactly | 03:49 |
| rww | EKUriox: I have no idea what you're talking about. Try being specific. | 03:49 |
| EKUriox | It says encryption can not mount... | 03:50 |
| mukti | I am doing it now, I was just curious if it did the same thing as the GUI app I was talking about (that is what I had always thought) | 03:50 |

| EKUriox | what is the root default password | 03:51 |
| rww | !root | EKUriox | 03:51 |
| ubottu | EKUriox: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:51 |

| rww | nixjr: probably kubuntu-backports, I'd guess. If so, #kubuntu or #kubuntu-devel would be better able to help with packaging problems in it. | 04:40 |
| DeadlyFugu | Ah, I'm guessing there's a channel like #gnome that would help? | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | good thing when the next release comes out.. getting gnome-shell will be trivial :) | 04:41 |
| rww | Dr_Willis: yeah, I was just remarking on that earlier elsewhere. I'm going to be happy to tell people "upgrade" instead of "use this PPA that eats your cat" | 04:42 |
| foxhoundz | is there a way to change backlight brightness via terminal | 04:42 |
| tntc | Is it just me, or did google suddenly make everything they own ubuntu colors? | 04:43 |
| rww | tntc: They're doing a design refresh, the similarity is apparently coincidental (and this belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic ;) | 04:43 |
| chewedon | Hi guys | 04:47 |
| chewedon | I need to run a program on my external usb SAMSUNG hard drive. | 04:47 |
| bullgard4_ | foxhoundz: This is hardware-dependent. | 04:47 |
| chewedon | I got a feeling Ubuntu Live CD mounted the hard drive with no executable permission. | 04:47 |
| nixjr | rww, heres whats in my sources.list file, i did and search and kubuntu isnt there anywhere http://pastebin.com/ubRBBCi2 | 04:47 |
| chewedon | When I try to sudo chmod a+rwx myprogram it said it changed the permission but when I did a ls -l on my program file again, the permission didn't change. | 04:48 |
| foxhoundz | bullgard4 well, is there a package that would facilitate such a thing? | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: what kind of filesystem is the file on? | 04:48 |
| foxhoundz | I'm sshing into xubuntu and it would be nice to control the display brightness | 04:48 |
| rww | nixjr: it'd be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 04:48 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis: how do I check ? I tried fdisk but it didn't show up... | 04:48 |
| bullgard4_ | chewedon: You better state what Ubuntu Live CD release you are referring to. | 04:48 |
| gskellig | does anybody have experience with the bumblebee hybrid graphics driver? or graphics card switching with nvidia and intel graphics cards? | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: sudo fdisk -l or mount.... | 04:48 |
| chewedon | bullgard4_: Linux ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: if its a ntfs or vfat. you DONT chown./chmod files on those FS's | 04:49 |
| chewedon | :P | 04:49 |
| chewedon | That might explain why it's not changing | 04:49 |
| bullgard4_ | foxhoundz: Yes. For example for my 'Thinkpad it is contained in the thinkpad acpi driver package. | 04:49 |
| chewedon | ah way there we go, Disk /dev/sdb 1000.2 GB | 04:50 |
| chewedon | HPFS/NTFS | 04:50 |
| chewedon | /dev/sdb1 * 1 121601 976760000+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | 04:50 |
| foxhoundz | I see | 04:51 |
| foxhoundz | I was hoping something like xbacklight would suffice | 04:51 |
| chewedon | bullgard4_: it's version 11.04 Live CD I think...? well it says "Install Ubuntu 11.04" on my desktop icon | 04:52 |
| foxhoundz | well..how about just turning off the monitor? | 04:52 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis: how would I go about running executables files on these NTFS external hard drives ? Do I still need to mount it as executable ? | 04:52 |
| chewedon | I remember there was a shell command to do so... | 04:52 |
| bullgard4_ | chewedon: Permissions are a feature of files and not of drives. So please tell me what particular file you can read but not write to. | 04:54 |
| chewedon | bullgard4_: OK. I have deleted some work files. The other night using rm -rf. I downloaded testdisk and unzipped it to my SAMSUNG external hard drive as recommended by my technical director so that when I run a program called photorec which will attempt to recover deleted files, it will recover the file to the disk rather than in RAM. My laptop's hard drive is 300 GB big, so there will not be enough RAM to hold all the recovered files, | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: windiows .exe's you mean> | 04:59 |
| chewedon | no | 04:59 |
| chewedon | it's a linux binary executable | 04:59 |
| === kyoku is now known as Kaizen | ||
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: You are keeping linux binaries on ntfs? thats weird. :) | 05:00 |
| chewedon | (machines executes on binary values, isn't that why Microsoft called it executables?) | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: you CAN mount ntfs/vrfat where EVERY file/dir is executable. | 05:00 |
| chewedon | Linux calls it .bin :P | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | linux dosent callit .bin :) | 05:00 |
| linuxuz3r__ | been thinking if i should install redhat? | 05:00 |
| linuxuz3r__ | should i? | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxuz3r__: we dont care. :) | 05:00 |
| chewedon | well whatever | 05:00 |
| bullgard4_ | linuxuz3r__: No. | 05:01 |
| linuxuz3r__ | why | 05:01 |
| niche | Dr_Willis, that's rude | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: you can mount ntfs or cfat with a differnt umask/fmask/dmask (i forget which) that can set the permissions differntly | 05:01 |
| === Kaizen is now known as gh0zt | ||
| linuxuz3r__ | bullgard4 | 05:01 |
| chewedon | I found this command on Google: mount -t vfat -o user,rw,exec,umask=000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosdrive | 05:01 |
| bullgard4_ | linuxuz3r__: Do not troll. | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: yep You can mount it by hand with differnt mask options for differnt modes. | 05:01 |
| linuxuz3r__ | im not trolling | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: i find it more annoying to have EVERY file on the vfat/ntfs be flagged as executable. | 05:02 |
| chewedon | I suppose in my case I could change it to: mount -t ntfs -o user,rw,exec /dev/sdb1 /media/SAMSUNG | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxuz3r__: its not really a ubuntu support question. | 05:02 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis: this is just to recover some files, I'm not using it on a daily basis :) | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: i dont think th eexec flag will work for ntfs or ntfs-3g | 05:02 |
| chewedon | ok... | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | chewedon: check the ntfs-3g faq/docs for examples. | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want to write to the disk. you will want to use ntfs-3g | 05:03 |
| chewedon | ok | 05:03 |
| chewedon | thanks for the heads up | 05:03 |

| xgt001 | hello! i am running natty x64 ..i have 3gb ram, but system monitor shows only 2.7 gb!!! why so??? | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !ram | 05:09 |
| ubottu | If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | or it could be how the hw is reserveing some | 05:09 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis, bullgard4_ thank you so much for the help guys. Files are being recovered now :) | 05:10 |
| chewedon | Fingers crossed that it still can recover the files. | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | is the hd failing or somthing weird chewedon? | 05:11 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis: you mean why am I trying to recover the files ? | 05:11 |
| xgt001 | i have reserved 6 gb of swap as well | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | yes chewedon.. you have linux binaries on a ntfs you are somehow revoering? | 05:12 |
| n2i | ha | 05:13 |
| chewedon | Dr_Willis: HD isn't failing. The other night, I was working on an iPad application on my Mac OS X Lion. It was late and I wasn't thinking straight. I was trying to backup some files. I did a cp * ~/project/ and it said xcode and such is a directory so I went, screw it, I'll delete everything in the destination location and recopy all the files from my current directory. | 05:13 |
| n2i | chet roi | 05:14 |
| chewedon | My Xcode IDE started saying the files have disappeared and that's when the reality of my actions had sunk in. | 05:15 |
| chewedon | My technical director and me yanked out the hard drive from my laptop and cloned it. Now I'm using the software he recommended to try and recover the deleted files. If it doesn't work, I'll have to remake the entire project from scratch again. | 05:16 |
| chewedon | Say, how is Ubuntu Natty ? | 05:18 |
| chewedon | It looks attractive. | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | this is when automated backups to a cloud server come in handy.. | 05:18 |

| cmrodican | hi all. i just purchased an hp g600 notebook and it is 64-bit and i would like to install 32-bit ubuntu... is there any way i can run into a prob for that? | 05:38 |
| === nuborn is now known as nuborn_away | ||
| cmrodican | thanks in advanc | 05:38 |
| rww | cmrodican: nope, it'll work fine | 05:38 |
| lion42 | cmrodican, is there any reason why you want to use 32 bit ubuntu? | 05:39 |
| n2i | cmrodican: why not Ubuntu 64bit? | 05:39 |
| cmrodican | i thought that more programs were compatible with the 32 and it was more stable | 05:39 |
| cmrodican | is this no longer the case? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | hasent bveen the case for some time cmrodican | 05:40 |
| mnemonic_ | guys is there an issue while connecting to freenode via TOR and sasl? | 05:40 |
| rww | mnemonic_: shouldn't be. Ask #freenode if you need help. | 05:40 |

| IdleOne | mnemonic_: #freenode can help with that | 05:40 |
| cmrodican | thank you guys | 05:40 |
| rww | cmrodican: I use both 32-bit and 64-bit. I notice no problems with either. But nevertheless, 32-bit will work on a 64-bit processor if you want it to :) | 05:40 |
| cmrodican | rww: why do you use the 32 bit? are there pros and cons to using them? | 05:41 |
| rww | cmrodican: I have one 32-bit and one 64-bit machine | 05:41 |

| Dr_Willis | :) | 05:41 |
| groktar | woot got the permissions sorted | 05:41 |
| rww | mahrud: which particular part of it? | 05:41 |
| mahrud | I mean, who are admins? | 05:41 |
| `blackmk4 | å∂/window 4 | 05:41 |
| psycho_oreos | there are specific programs that can only run in 32bit, the same goes with some modules/drivers | 05:42 |
| darkgerm | if my computer support 64-bit, should i install 32-bit one or 64-bit one?? | 05:42 |
| IdleOne | mahrud: admins of? | 05:42 |
| mahrud | rww: hmm, nothing special, for example download servers | 05:42 |
| mahrud | admins of the mail servers | 05:42 |
| Macetouch | i would sudjest 64-bit. thats just me | 05:42 |
| mahrud | IdleOne: admins of the mail servers | 05:42 |
| rww | mahrud: Canonical runs some of the download servers, the rest are mirrored by organizations that volunteer to host one. Mailservers for @ubuntu.com and @lists.ubuntu.com are maintained by Canonical. | 05:43 |
| rww | mahrud: (and lists.ubuntu.com lists also have their own admins and mods, who are generally Ubuntu community members) | 05:43 |
| Zaitam | es verdad | 05:43 |
| rww | Zaitam: English here, please | 05:43 |
| rww | mahrud: if you have some particular problem or need, best to just be specific and ask it and we can redirect you appropriately :) | 05:44 |
| Zaitam | why? | 05:44 |
| rww | Zaitam: because this is the English-language Ubuntu technical support channel | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | becasue i only speak english.... | 05:44 |
| darkgerm | what 64-bit good at? faster? | 05:44 |
| rww | darkgerm: not noticibly, no | 05:44 |
| mahrud | rww: thanks, and who decides on, for example, which packages should be installed by default? | 05:44 |
| cmrodican | on an unrelated note, i have several 2003 series optiplexe workstations that i got for free when my high school, and last night i purchased a belkin mini bluetooth dongle... in ubuntu i began configuring it when suddenly the light on the dongle lit up and my computer crashed... now that whole workstation is unusable because if i even plug it in the power just goes on and off repeatedly... | 05:44 |
| cmrodican | ...untill several seconds after unpluggiong it | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | darkgerm: dpends on the task.. for movie reencideing i notice a few % gain | 05:44 |

| rww | mahrud: join what? the Ubuntu developer team, or UDS? | 05:46 |
| cmrodican | bc of power related issues? | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | may not been related to that bt. at all.. just somtning going out.. and it did | 05:47 |

| Dr_Willis | looks like little stick men here. :) and houses.. | 05:56 |
| rww | cmrodican: incorrect, they're speaking Korean | 05:57 |
| Macetouch | Dr_willis is completely right | 05:57 |
| darkgerm | rww: how do you know that is Korean? | 05:57 |
| hugenumber | you can see it | 05:57 |
| rww | darkgerm: because I'm magical. also, I know what Korean looks like. Also, Google Translate. | 05:57 |
| cmrodican | but i was under the impression that the alphabet was chinese characters... like how english speakers use the latin alphabet and russians have their thing and how we use the hindu-arabic numeration system for numbers | 05:58 |
| Avonir_ | Koreans use a different character set. | 05:58 |
| rww | cmrodican: nope | 05:59 |
| cmrodican | are there different characters in the japanese, korean and chinese, ets... alphabets? | 05:59 |

| thalleem | it took me awhile to completely turn to Ubuntu | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Fudge: depends on your needs I imagine theres eggdrop bots that5 can do most anything you need | 06:07 |
| thalleem | Now I am looking to join and run with this over my other systems | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: How did you install ubuntu server to thge usb? You did notuse a tool like Unetbootin or similer to put the server iso on a pendrive did you? | 06:07 |
| thalleem | anyone else new here I can talk to? trying to get a feel for all of this | 06:08 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: I used the tool that is given in the ubuntu desktop OS. The tool and the step tht is mentioned in the ubuntu.com site. | 06:08 |
| Fudge | Dr_Willis yeah eggy i san option | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: so you did not boot a cd/usb and did a normal install - you used one of the 'live disk' creator tools? I belive the server iso does not work with those. Only the livd-desktop cd does | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | at least tere used to be issues with the severiso getting put on a usb. | 06:10 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: I followed ths link. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download . The same iso file works fine in a virtual box. | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: have vbox boot the pendrive as a test | 06:10 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: of will do tht. | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I just recall sevral people inhere in the past with issues putting the server iso as a bootable pendrive. | 06:12 |
| magn3ts | Every single video I play in VLC is unsynced a/v | 06:13 |
| magn3ts | how is that possible? | 06:13 |
| Dr_Willis | you twiddled with settings trying to fix one and now its using the setting for all of them that were correct.. and thus now wrong ? (guessing) | 06:14 |
| lion42 | magn3ts, i've been having that problem lately. I stopped using VLC for video. | 06:14 |
| magn3ts | lion42, it's very hard for me to resync it. Getting the +/- is hard enough for the audio delay. | 06:14 |
| magn3ts | Plus, I looove VLC. | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | I havent notivced vlc with issues here.. but i watch stuff thats subtitled most of the time. :) | 06:14 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, I blew away .config/vlc just to make sure. | 06:15 |
| lion42 | I loved VLC, too, but the av sync as you said is a pain in the behind. | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | check the vlc faq. they may have some info. or their forums. | 06:15 |
| lion42 | It was easier just to use something else, lol | 06:15 |
| cmrodican | if i download ubuntu server, then what do i need to put on the other computers in my network to make them ubuntu workstations running off of that server? | 06:15 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, This seems to be a problem and ppl point fingers at PulseAudio and Alsa, but I don't really understand all of the quirks. | 06:15 |
| magn3ts | I'm going to swap back to Mplayer for a bit I guess. | 06:16 |
| Macetouch | Is there any way to make playlists of movies on VLC because thats the only down fall I see | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | You can set vlc to not use pulse audio.... | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc has playlist feature.... | 06:16 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, yeah, I've been trying that too. I've been playing with this for a bit. | 06:16 |
| Dr_Willis | vlc has bajillions of features... :) | 06:16 |
| Macetouch | Well thats great to know. I shall look into finding it lol | 06:16 |
| magn3ts | I think they're right, every time, -600ms is basically the sweet spot for getting it resynced. :/ | 06:17 |
| Dr_Willis | menus... show playlust or somthing like that.. | 06:17 |
| magn3ts | Macetouch, there's a button in the default interface. | 06:17 |
| magn3ts | Macetouch, to the right of the "full screen" button. | 06:17 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: the same problem occurs in Vbox too. it comes to the boot prompt and stops thr | 06:17 |
| Macetouch | Ok thank you. I also feel dumb now | 06:17 |
| magn3ts | Macetouch, meh, it happens to the best of us, happy to lend a tip | 06:17 |
| magn3ts | (just the tip though) | 06:17 |
| HeGuru | magn3ts: you can fix default audio delay in vlc | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: sounds like a badly made usb. You could try that tools at pendrivelinux that make a grub2 setup that boots an ISO file.. it might work better | 06:18 |
| magn3ts | HeGuru, link/tips? | 06:18 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: will try tht & come back. | 06:18 |
| HeGuru | magn3ts: tools -> preferences -> all -> audio -> filters -> delay | 06:18 |
| cmrodican | and one other question: i am very accustomed to gnome and love lucid right now.. what advantages would i have for switching to 11.04? | 06:19 |
| Macetouch | NONE!!!! 11.04 SUCKS!!! | 06:19 |
| gskellig | does anybody have experience with the bumblebee hybrid graphics driver? or graphics card switching with nvidia and intel graphics cards? | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Macetouch: Hmm? | 06:19 |
| Desyncify | ello | 06:20 |
| chewedon | Ubuntu feels like the multimedia / desktop OS of Linux | 06:20 |
| chewedon | For your everyday user / average joe | 06:20 |
| Macetouch | ok well just in my opion. i dont like the set up of it. it can probably be changed but thats just me | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | install boxee on ubuntu, and you got a instant media-box pratically :) | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Macetouch: err... we dont know what you are ranting about exactly.... | 06:21 |
| chewedon | Wasn't there a special version of Ubuntu just for Multimedia development? | 06:21 |
| magn3ts | HeGuru, thanks, I'll play around with that. | 06:21 |
| magn3ts | HeGuru, I kinda wish it would go back to just working straight up though :/ | 06:21 |
| chewedon | I remember it from a few years back. | 06:21 |
| magn3ts | Medibuntu? | 06:21 |
| chewedon | Kubuntu ? | 06:22 |
| Desyncify | finally got ubuntu working lag free on my laptop, thank god | 06:22 |
| cmrodican | i dont know why they have abandoned gnome it is my favoritwe operating system... im sure they wont get rid of kubuntu, whhick sucks | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | medibuntu is a repo/site of pacakges | 06:22 |
| n2i | I cannot setfont Vietnamese-Fixed16 for tty, how to do it? | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | cmrodican: who has abandoned gnome? | 06:22 |
| cmrodican | the new ubuntu distro | 06:22 |
| magn3ts | They're replacing more and more and more of it in +1... | 06:22 |
| magn3ts | Oh wait, that's probably just gnome3 stuff :/ | 06:22 |
| magn3ts | oh well | 06:22 |
| HeGuru | magn3ts: If you've already reset vlc config then its probably lower level (pulseaudio etc) issue | 06:23 |
| n2i | In fact, I have successful set font for tty, but after restart it is restored to defaut :( | 06:23 |
| magn3ts | HeGuru, yeah, I'm sure you're right in that it's not a VLC flaw. | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | cmrodican: the next ubuntu release - has not abandoned gnome.. | 06:23 |
| lion42 | magn3ts, liiike I said, I had the exact same issue with vlc | 06:23 |
| Macetouch | <Dr_Willis> I would do privet msgs but i dont know how (unless this is it) and just someone was wondering if they should switch so yeah. Ill stop | 06:23 |
| cmrodican | so unity is along side it? | 06:23 |
| HeGuru | chewedon: Ubuntu Studio | 06:23 |
| lion42 | cannot replicate on any other media player I use | 06:23 |
| n2i | I'm using 11.04 | 06:23 |
| lion42 | problem solved. | 06:23 |
| chewedon | HeGuru: I think that's the one :) | 06:23 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome2 is a dead project now. gnome-3 is the next thing. and it has a selexctable shell. you an use gnome-shell or unity | 06:23 |
| magn3ts | cmrodican, gnome is more than just the old top/bottom panels. | 06:24 |
| lion42 | GNOME2 LIVES ON FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS. | 06:24 |
| lion42 | (also, in my computer) | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | both loved and hated. :) | 06:24 |
| n2i | Dr_Willis: gnome2 is dead? so I must using gnome3 if I want using gnome on my machine? | 06:24 |
| * magn3ts doesn't want to launch into another rant about both gnome2 and 3. :/ | 06:24 | |
| Dr_Willis | n2i: gnome devs have basically moved to gnome-3.... | 06:25 |
| MrSalt | Just got done reinstalling 11.04. Had upgraded to 10.10Alpha, but _way_ too unstable for me, and I don't have the time to properly debug it. Stable is good. | 06:25 |
| magn3ts | Also, Dr_Willis let me know when gnome-shell actually starts working ;) | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-shell works fine for me.. on my 11.10 test box. magn3ts | 06:25 |
| lion42 | magn3ts, that'd be never. :P | 06:25 |
| foxhoundz | Dr_Willis: there there. Someone will fork Gnome 2 | 06:25 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, :/ all I get is "gnome session failed to load" | 06:25 |
| n2i | What about Unity? Should I using Unity of Gnome3? | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: i belive it was a bug in the alpha for a week.. then got fixed.. | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | (for weeks, too) | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, heh, I literally tried again today and was saddened. | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | both are working find here for me. | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, Unless you're suggesting I need a clean install ? | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | I | 06:26 |
| magn3ts | ve just been distupgrading (sorry for the linebreak) | 06:26 |
| lion42 | n2i, using gnome3 on 11.04 is difficult to do and difficult to reverse. You're probably better off using unity or gnome-fallback. | 06:27 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: no idea. its alpha3 level.. been very stable for me. but time tomove it to #ubuntu+1 | 06:27 |
| magn3ts | n2i, if you like unity, sure I guess. | 06:27 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, ah, yes, sorry about that. I'll play around with it and wait for beta or such. | 06:27 |
| magn3ts | gnome3 on ubuntu-current is really not supported and I've never had it work properly, just b0rk my system repeatedly. Make a backup, use a snapshot, etc. | 06:28 |
| n2i | lion42: Oh, thanks! And what about 11.10? | 06:28 |
| magn3ts | gtk/gnome3 is the base DE in 11.10 n2deep | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | n2i: Its at alpha3 status right now | 06:28 |
| lion42 | n2i, don't use 11.10 unless you have a reason to (aka, are a developer). | 06:28 |
| n2i | magn3ts: nope :) I have removed some unity component before | 06:28 |
| cmrodican | hey i gotta go.. but as always its been a pleasure being here. i almost always get the info i cant find on the forums and are starting to grow accustommed to you guys... android users: i will be posting a series of new articles and tutorials on androidwiki.com over the next weeks and any help would be much appreciated there. Creating pages, or editing them to update info or even help... | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | or watn to have fun | 06:29 |
| cmrodican | ...make some of them more wiki format complient and wikipedia-like in appearence... so if anybody is lookimng for somkething to contrib to give it a thought | 06:29 |
| cmrodican | bye all | 06:29 |
| cmrodican | thanks for the good talk | 06:29 |
| rww | Dr_Willis: for Dwarf Fortress definition of "fun" | 06:29 |
| magn3ts | lol, that's my kind of fun. For "normal" people, not so much | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | compared the the alpha/beta of 11.04 this 11.10 has been solid :) | 06:30 |
| magn3ts | haha isn't that the truth | 06:30 |
| magn3ts | I had a nightmarish time of 11.04 breaking constantly, especially with the VB extensions :S | 06:30 |
| * Dr_Willis recalls the recursuve never ending 'file system needs fscked.....' (but i just fscked it!) bug... | 06:30 | |
| rww | aww, Dr_Willis isn't in #ubuntu+1 :( | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | fsck was setting the date 24 hrs ahead.. so it was always invalid. :) | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | rww: not even on a Linux box right now either. :) been redoing my room. just got 1 pc on. | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Not on my phone either! | 06:31 |
| arhad | hello to all! | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wife took my Testing box's monitor,. :) | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | well its time for me to get to bed.. take care. | 06:32 |
| n2i | I will switch back to 10.04 :( | 06:33 |
| lion42 | 11.04 with lxde hasn't been bad to me. | 06:34 |
| arhad | Tell me please, should I install Ubuntu 11.04 if I have 10.10 one? | 06:34 |
| lion42 | A little different, but... it works. | 06:34 |
| n2i | arhad: No! I think so :P | 06:34 |
| arhad | To <n2i>: Thanks for advice! | 06:35 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: While I was using the USB Installer suggested by you I got a message stating tht a error has occured while installaing syslinux and hence the device will not be bootable. | 06:35 |
| Gredeu | can you use a 3.0x kernel with ubuntu without breaking any system services ? | 06:36 |
| Gredeu | i guess that would be mainline. | 06:36 |
| johngilbrough | I've got ufw running on my server which is blocking someone from Russia that's trying to get in. Is there anyway I can view what that person is transmitting? | 06:36 |
| Gredeu | not if its blocked | 06:37 |
| krishnan | While I was using the USB Installer I got a message stating tht a error has occured while installaing syslinux and hence the device will not be bootable. | 06:38 |
| Macetouch | does anyone know if Remote desktop viewer works with windowsÉ | 06:38 |
| Macetouch | ?* | 06:38 |
| arhad | I tried - no | 06:38 |
| Gredeu | remote desktop viewer works great though the best VNC client i've used on a gigabit lan was a commerical one. can't place the name. | 06:39 |
| Gredeu | it was a mac though. so -- it could have been entirely at fault. | 06:39 |
| rww | Gredeu: probably, but Linux 3.0 isn't supported on current versions of Ubuntu, so if you have problems you're on your own | 06:39 |
| Gredeu | thanks rww | 06:39 |
| ole_oz6oh | someone here programming with python ? | 06:39 |
| arhad | But standart Ubuntu remote desctop cliend doesnd support Windows, unfortunally | 06:39 |
| Gredeu | anyone out there used a unsupported mainline kernel 3.x without breaking any services ? | 06:40 |
| Macetouch | ugg... my friend is having trobles and i was attempting to help because its hard to explain to a .... noob | 06:40 |
| rww | ole_oz6oh: if you have a python question, try #python. if you have a question about python on Ubuntu, please ask the actual question | 06:40 |
| johngilbrough | ole_oz6oh, Yep | 06:40 |
| Night-hacks | how can i determine if my Ram is DDR2 or DDR3 by commands ? | 06:41 |
| Gredeu | is usb 3.0 support under the .11 kernel very functional ? | 06:41 |
| Macetouch | rww was that at me? lol | 06:41 |
| krishnan | While I was using the USB Installer I got a message stating tht a error has occured while installaing syslinux and hence the device will not be bootable. | 06:41 |
| ole_oz6oh | rww, thanks but there i only get angry people i do'nt understand why | 06:41 |
| rww | Macetouch: if it was, your name would be prepended to it ;) | 06:42 |
| rww | ole_oz6oh: That's not really something we can help with. It's the help channel for Python. | 06:42 |
| Gredeu | people make mistakes. like Cheney. | 06:42 |
| krishnan | While I was using the USB Installer I got a message stating tht a error has occured while installaing syslinux and hence the device will not be bootable. | 06:42 |
| ole_oz6oh | johngilbrough, you say jep | 06:42 |
| === notapuff is now known as puffin | ||
| zen_monkey | nights, am having trouble trying to check some gpg | 06:42 |
| johngilbrough | ole_oz6oh, Let's hop over to #python, ok? | 06:43 |
| zen_monkey | gpg file.asc throws can't open pubring.gpg | 06:43 |
| ole_oz6oh | rww, if man ask maybe a good answer | 06:43 |
| Gredeu | can i optimize this crontab entry to be even better ? @hourly rsync -avz --delete --force --ignore-errors /home/ /media/backup/ | 06:43 |
| zen_monkey | can someone lend a hand? | 06:43 |
| rww | ole_oz6oh: What? | 06:44 |
| Gredeu | for backup of /home should my crontab be run as user or root ? | 06:44 |
| MrSalt | Gredeu: Call rsnapshot instead? :) | 06:45 |
| arhad | Gredeu: no | 06:45 |
| Gredeu | rsnapshot no can do. can't teach an old dog new tricks. | 06:45 |
| ole_oz6oh | rww, i have tried on the python channel but i get only angry people | 06:45 |
| Gredeu | arhad, no to what ? | 06:45 |
| MrSalt | Gredeu: rsnapshot uses rsync and hard links, if that's what you're trying to do. | 06:46 |
| ole_oz6oh | rww, all said my question is not good | 06:46 |
| arhad | Gredeu: i meant that you can can crontab without root privilegies for copying /home | 06:46 |
| Gredeu | MrSalt, i don't suppose it would be within the realm of possiblity for you to translate my previous rsync contrab entry into a one hitter ? | 06:46 |
| Gredeu | thank you arhad | 06:46 |
| arhad | Greder: sorry for mistakes in my phrases, I type so fast in the first time. | 06:47 |
| MrSalt | Gredeu: It looks fine the way it is. | 06:47 |
| Gredeu | arhad, your ok you made no mistake | 06:48 |
| Macetouch | dumb question but what is this channel for? is it like a general channel? | 06:48 |
| Gredeu | MrSalt, so just use rsync and not rsnapshot ? | 06:48 |
| arhad | Gredeu: thank you :) | 06:48 |
| rww | Macetouch: #ubuntu is the English-language technical support channel for Ubuntu Linux | 06:48 |
| MrSalt | Gredeu: If you like rsync, you're command looks fine. I used rsnapshot for a while, and it adds a couple extra features built for a rync'ing backup. Check it out. | 06:49 |
| Gredeu | can anyone vouch usb 3.0 support to be just fine under natty ? | 06:49 |
| MrSalt | Macetouch: #ubuntu-dumb-question was cancelled last week, so you've got to ask them here. :) | 06:50 |
| Macetouch | also how do I pm so I dont po people | 06:51 |
| a12 | Hi, if I want to play youtube videos totem says: "The playlist 'anyplayist' could not be parsed. It might be damaged." I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and GStreamer-plugins-bad/ugly plus depencies, but the error is still there. Help me, please. Thank you very much. | 06:51 |
| a12 | I am using Ubuntu 11.04 | 06:52 |
| Gredeu | isn't hardware support supposed to be best in ubuntu vs any other distro ? | 06:52 |
| MrSalt | Macetouch: /msg <nick> <message> usually works if you want to ask privately | 06:54 |
| MrSalt | Gredeu: My new motherboard I just bought last week works fine under Natty. Not sure I have any USB 3.0 items attached though. | 06:56 |
| crunchbang | Gredeu: ^^ I also have a motherboard with USB 3.0, no issues. I run a variant of ubuntu. | 06:57 |
| iceroot_ | Gredeu: maybe but that makes ubuntu not the best system if you want a 100% free system (free as in free speech) | 06:58 |
| gskellig | does anybody have experience with the bumblebee hybrid graphics driver? or graphics card switching with nvidia and intel graphics cards? | 06:58 |
| maestrojed | I need some help with basic Linux application installation knowledge. It seems executable programs go in /usr/local/bin or /user/local/sbin. Whats the difference? | 06:58 |
| a12 | I need to repair that, | 06:59 |
| a12 | . | 06:59 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Bumblebee? ::Looking on Google:: Hmm, interesting, but no idea. :) | 06:59 |
| a12 | I need to repair that. | 06:59 |
| iceroot_ | maestrojed: sbin = (s)ystem(bin)arys, bin = (bin)arys | 07:00 |
| MK`` | bin is for command binaries, sbin is for system binaries (like daemons) | 07:00 |
| gskellig | MrSalt, yeah. I have a dual graphics card laptop and I would REALLY like a way to switch between the graphics cards without rebooting and typing a crapload into the terminal | 07:00 |
| iceroot_ | maestrojed: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html | 07:00 |
| gskellig | and/or without degrading the performance of my SSD (long story, one way to switch graphics cards is to turn sata mode to "compatible mode" | 07:00 |
| gskellig | aka "suck mode" | 07:00 |
| a12 | suck mode, old web browsers suck. | 07:00 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Fighting with video drivers in Linux is the one thing that has really frustrated me over the years. Now, I get a card and keep it for a long time so I don't have to mess with it. | 07:01 |
| gskellig | one of the reasons I bought this laptop was because I could switch between mobility (very very long battery life) and performance (gaming and HD movies) | 07:02 |
| gskellig | on windows, it doesn't even require a reboot. I would be VERY okay with it requiring a reboot, but not a reboot and 10 mins of messing with the terminal | 07:02 |
| gskellig | which, at this point its about 30 mins of messing around to switch correctly | 07:02 |
| newbie_ | ubuntu 11.04 install appears to be frozen on welcome screen. | 07:03 |
| maestrojed | ok, I think I got that. Thanks iceroot_ MK`` | 07:03 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Video drivers, even the commerical ones from Nvida, always lag a bit behind. That's really Nvidia's fault more than anything, but it doesn't make things any better. | 07:03 |
| gskellig | lag a bit behind? | 07:04 |
| gskellig | really?? | 07:04 |
| gskellig | and the AMD ones dont? | 07:04 |
| newbie_ | how do i tell when install is complete? | 07:05 |
| a12 | I searched google, found nothing... | 07:05 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: The Linux video drivers always take longer to come out than the Windows drivers. The new wiz-bang features in some of these cards can't really be used until the manufacturer updates the drivers. We all wait. | 07:05 |
| maestrojed | How about this one :) I installed soundkonverter via synaptic package manager. It says to install software http://www.musepack.net. The readme says put the lib folder in usr/local/lib but I am unsure what to do with the other files. | 07:05 |
| gskellig | the bumblebee project is completely unofficial. nvidia has zero support for dual graphics cards on linux | 07:05 |
| gskellig | its a fairly old laptop at this point though | 07:06 |
| gskellig | i think it came out in early 2010 | 07:06 |
| gskellig | possibly christmas 2009 | 07:06 |
| newbie_ | hello? | 07:06 |
| gskellig | i have an asus UL30VT | 07:06 |
| Khisanth | heh ... then mine is prehistoric? | 07:06 |
| maestrojed | Do they go in /usr/bin? | 07:07 |
| newbie_ | how do i get past the install/welcome screen? | 07:07 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Poking around Google finds various updates around May/Jun 2011, which is not going to be in any release distro. Search google, you may be able to get a driver to download yourself, but it's going to be a fight no matter how you cut it. Sorry. | 07:07 |
| gskellig | MrSalt, I have a download, they actually have an ubuntu PPA now. I just can't get it working right | 07:07 |
| gskellig | updated august 15 =D | 07:08 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Sounds like you're on the right track | 07:08 |
| gskellig | MrSalt, https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project I've been messing with it over the last couple of days, with no success | 07:08 |
| gskellig | other than breaking unity about half a dozen times =\ | 07:08 |
| newbie_ | help | 07:09 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Yeah, that looks like it's only been around a couple of weeks. It's going to be raw. There may be other works in progress, hopefully something from Nvidia. | 07:10 |
| newbie_ | install frozen | 07:10 |
| a12 | Hello! | 07:10 |
| gskellig | MrSalt, the github is new, but it's been worked on since about april/may. Nvidia has reported that they will not support hybrid or dual graphics cards on linux at all | 07:10 |
| newbie_ | need help with 11.04 install. | 07:11 |
| crunchbang | hey newbie_ | 07:11 |
| crunchbang | is it your first time truing to install? | 07:12 |
| newbie_ | hello. yes | 07:12 |
| MrSalt | gskellig: Video drivers have always been a rough spot in Linux (all versions). Sounds like it's going to be a fight. Sorry. | 07:12 |
| gskellig | np. Hopefully I'll wait it out for a bit and let bumblebee development grow a bit | 07:12 |
| gskellig | the ppa and repository are brand spankin' new | 07:13 |
| a12 | Hi, if I want to play youtube videos totem says: "The playlist 'anyplayist' could not be parsed. It might be damaged." I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and GStreamer-plugins-bad/ugly plus depencies, but the error is still there. Help me, please. Thank you very much. | 07:13 |
| newbie_ | <crunchbang> install appears to be frozen on welcome screen. | 07:13 |

| MrSalt | JPSman: In a command line. | 07:41 |
| JPSman | yeah, in a command line | 07:41 |
| JPSman | I think it would have to do with something about standard out being sent back to the SSH and not locally. just a hunch | 07:42 |
| iceroot_ | JPSman: its not being send back | 07:42 |
| iceroot_ | JPSman: is the loginshell on the remote-system also bash? | 07:42 |

| MrSalt | would work | 07:42 |
| JPSman | yeah, also ubuntu | 07:42 |
| JPSman | so yeah, the file get created but nothing is being written to it | 07:42 |
| MrSalt | JPSman: If you just output the first command (leave out the grep) into > WORK, what happens? | 07:43 |
| JPSman | lemme try.... | 07:44 |
| MrSalt | JPSman: ./4tripper > WORK | 07:45 |
| JPSman | yeah, that works | 07:46 |
| MrSalt | JPSman: OK, so it's not an output file problem, but a restrictive grep? | 07:47 |

| iceroot_ | idefix: that is a metapackage | 08:43 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: that means you dont have to install the package firefox-3.0.1.2.1-foobar and for the next security-update you have to install firefox-3.0.1.2.2-foobar | 08:44 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: the metapackage firefox-3.0 is always installing the current firefox 3.0 | 08:44 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: the same for the kernel | 08:44 |

| idefix | the whole world is against me :( | 08:45 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: but firefox 3.0 is no longer supported | 08:45 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: its better to install the package "firefox" instead of "firefox-3.0". the package firefox is always pointing to the newest firefox in ubuntu, while firefox-3.0 is only pointing to the newest firefox-3.0 in ubuntu | 08:46 |
| idefix | so since firefox 3.0 is no longer supported I should not install the dummy package then..? | 08:46 |
| iceroot_ | idefix: just install the package "firefox" | 08:46 |

| Cairo | uh | 08:59 |
| Cairo | fail | 08:59 |
| Cairo | i meant wine64 | 08:59 |
| jerriy | oCean: does "requested by oCean" equals booted by oCean? ;-) | 08:59 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, actually it's Mint, from Ubuntu 11.04 | 08:59 |
| Cairo | is there some tutorial for installing/compiling wine64 on ubuntu 11.04? | 08:59 |
| iceroot_ | Cairo: imo there is no amd64 version of wine | 08:59 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: the live-cd is mint? | 08:59 |
| Loceka | yes | 08:59 |
| oCean | jerriy: it does | 08:59 |
| Cairo | icaunus: http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64 | 08:59 |
| iceroot_ | Cairo: sudo apt-get install wine | 08:59 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, and the installed Ubuntu is Ubuntu Server 11.04 | 09:00 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: we cant support mint here | 09:00 |
| Cairo | iceroot_: 32 bit | 09:00 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: and because the live-cd is mint this is not supported here | 09:00 |
| Loceka | the only way to easily have RAID + LVM support at install time | 09:00 |
| iceroot_ | Cairo: why need the amd64 version? | 09:00 |
| jerriy | oCean: ok seriously now I'm looking for someone to solve this problem: all drop down menus are appearing in the upper left corner of my browser | 09:00 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: no, ubuntu alternate is also provifing lvm + sw raid | 09:00 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, well basically it works the same for Ubuntu live CD | 09:00 |
| Cairo | because i'm trying to use wine to install something so i can copy back to another computer which cant install it but the installer is 64 bit | 09:01 |
| jerriy | Why that? | 09:01 |
| iceroot_ | !mint | Loceka | 09:01 |
| ubottu | Loceka: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 09:01 |
| oCean | jerriy: don't ask me, ask the channel | 09:01 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, ok I wont bother you with that, thanks anyway :) | 09:01 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: sorry for that but its hard to support something else because i/we dont know the differences | 09:02 |
| ubuntu_ | Jew Jew Jew are in European Union , in USA . Jew are in Israel . Jew are Everywhere | 09:02 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, no problem, though there should not be any diffrence, the problem is at boot time (so grub + installed package issue) | 09:03 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: if there is no difference there is no reason to release mint | 09:03 |
| Loceka | ^^ | 09:03 |
| jerriy | oCean: what channel? | 09:03 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, I mean the problem would be the same with Ubuntu live CD. | 09:04 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, but there is a "solution" for ubuntu with the alternate CDs | 09:04 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: the problem with the black screen? | 09:04 |
| Loceka | the problem with RAID support at boot time | 09:05 |
| Loceka | on live CD | 09:05 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: the best live-cd is "systemrescuedisc" which provides everything. also its a gentoo! live-cd using zsh by default :) it supports sw raid, lvm, luks and so on | 09:06 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, yep but is it possible to _install_ Mint thanks to systemrescuedisc ? | 09:06 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: no | 09:07 |
| Loceka | that's it :/ | 09:07 |
| Loceka | same with Ubuntu Server | 09:07 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: i dont get the problem. you cant install ubuntu-server? or you need a live-cd provifing sw-raid? | 09:07 |
| Loceka | I could not figure out how to grab Mint display on a Ubuntu Server install | 09:07 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, I actually can install Ubuntu Server, no problem | 09:08 |
| Loceka | but can't install Mint on top | 09:08 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: #mint | 09:08 |
| Loceka | ok ok | 09:08 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: and do i want to know what "on top" means? | 09:08 |
| IdleOne | Doesn't matter mint is off topic here | 09:09 |
| Olotila | my latex programs installation interrupted, and now several programs say : | 09:09 |
| Olotila | There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. | 09:09 |
| Loceka | iceroot_, well as Ubuntu Server is mostly composed by shared packages between the 2 distribs, I figured that it would be easy to add the Mint layout on top | 09:09 |
| Loceka | it proved not so | 09:10 |
| Olotila | how do i fix interrupted installations? | 09:10 |
| Myrtti | Olotila: you could try (on the command line) sudo apt-get -f install | 09:10 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: very very bad idea | 09:10 |
| Loceka | :p | 09:10 |
| iceroot_ | Loceka: you install the distri you want directly, if it is ubuntu ask here if it is something else ask #somethingelse :) | 09:11 |
| Olotila | Myrtti, i'll try that | 09:11 |
| miikael | hello, how do i permanently mount my windows 7 partition in linux ? | 09:12 |
| Olotila | Myrtti, that helped, thanks!!! | 09:12 |
| Myrtti | Olotila: you're welcome :-) | 09:13 |
| dcraserr | hey | 09:13 |
| iceroot_ | miikael: put it in /etc/fstab | 09:14 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g|miikael add an entry to /etc/fstab | 09:14 |
| ubottu | miikael add an entry to /etc/fstab: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 09:14 |
| dcraserr | /join #ubuntu -ko <<< this no? | 09:15 |

| dcraserr | oh!!! thanks | 09:17 |
| Josh_ | Hello. | 09:17 |
| theadmin | Hello, Josh_. | 09:18 |
| miikael | iceroot_: nothing happens when i run "gksudo ntfs-config", it just ask for super user password, then nothing | 09:19 |
| miikael | (i did install it) | 09:19 |
| Josh_ | Quite new to linux. | 09:19 |
| Josh_ | Been using Windows from long time. | 09:19 |
| Loceka | miikael, iceroot_: I actually have the same problem too (with Ubuntu Server + XFCE) | 09:20 |
| theadmin | Josh_: Well, expect some major differences. | 09:20 |
| natrixnatrix89 | is it just me or is it true that empathy is a very buggy chat client? | 09:21 |
| Josh_ | theadmin, I am. | 09:21 |
| Josh_ | :) | 09:21 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: It is, on certain networks | 09:21 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: NEVER use Empathy or Pidgin for IRC, for god's sake. | 09:21 |
| natrixnatrix89 | theadmin: pidgin works very good for me | 09:21 |
| natrixnatrix89 | and for irc too | 09:21 |
| Loceka | miikael, iceroot_: it seems to be a rights issue on gksu because when I launch gksu from a terminal with sudo, it works | 09:21 |
| t36 | hi, i need help removing a bad package, anyone know how to do this | 09:21 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: Well, still it lacks important features of IRC clients | 09:21 |
| theadmin | t36: sudo apt-get remove <packagename> | 09:22 |
| natrixnatrix89 | oh. right. but it doesn't hang the pc like empathy does | 09:22 |
| t36 | doesn't work | 09:22 |
| natrixnatrix89 | I'm wondering why pidgin was replaced with empathy | 09:22 |
| t36 | it is a driver for a brother printer | 09:22 |
| natrixnatrix89 | I mean as a default chat client | 09:22 |
| Josh_ | theadmin, Well , first the file system then the terminal , as usual. | 09:22 |
| miikael | Loceka: would it work if i do sudo -i and then try launch ntfs-config ? | 09:22 |
| theadmin | t36: sudo dpkg -P packagename | 09:23 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: Presumably because Empathy is a part of Gnome | 09:23 |
| natrixnatrix89 | but why did they remove pidgin then? | 09:23 |
| theadmin | Josh_: You should learn to use package managers (check the Ubuntu software center and Synaptic, first, then read up on apt-get) | 09:23 |
| t36 | theadmin: it says that the package is in an inconsistent state | 09:24 |
| Josh_ | theadmin, I read on apt-get thats how I installed x-chat :D | 09:24 |
| t36 | I have tried sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq hl2250dnlpr | 09:24 |
| t36 | already, but that doesnt work either | 09:24 |
| theadmin | Josh_: Oh lol | 09:24 |
| Josh_ | theadmin, had to do sudo though. | 09:24 |
| dnivra | hello. How to I specify a socks proxy in a terminal? | 09:24 |
| codemagician | how to I disable the suspend key on my keyboard? | 09:25 |
| t36 | is there a way to manually remove the files? | 09:25 |
| Josh_ | codemagician, pop it out ? | 09:25 |
| theadmin | Josh_: You need to use sudo for most administrative tasks. | 09:25 |
| Josh_ | :P | 09:25 |
| Josh_ | theadmin, it was administrative task? | 09:25 |
| codemagician | Josh_, I mean using the os? | 09:25 |
| Loceka | miikael, try :) I don't know what sudo -i does | 09:25 |
| theadmin | Josh_: Installing a piece of software? Naturally. | 09:26 |
| codemagician | Josh_, under power management there is no choice to assign any other values | 09:26 |
| miikael | Loceka: it changes user to root, but it didnt work either, all it did was giving me lots of python execution errors when trying to launch the config | 09:26 |
| Loceka | miikael, and "sudo gksu" worked for you ? | 09:28 |
| theadmin | Loceka: "sudo gksu" is like "long cat is long" | 09:29 |
| theadmin | Loceka: Both are the same, except gksu is for GUIs | 09:29 |
| dnivra | hello. I am trying to install eclipse in ubuntu via command line and I get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/670744/. Why arent' those packages installed automatically? | 09:29 |
| === avernos_ is now known as avernos | ||
| === dib is now known as Guest15328 | ||
| miikael | Loceka: it did the same thing as when i ran it from root user (sudo -i) | 09:29 |
| theadmin | dnivra: Meh, probably just install those packages manually | 09:29 |
| glebihan | dnivra, try "sudo apt-get install eclipse-jdt" to see why those aren't being installed | 09:30 |
| Loceka | theadmin, yes I agree, still launching gksu with "sudo gksu" works, while "gksu" by itself fails | 09:31 |
| Loceka | theadmin, don't ask me why | 09:31 |
| dnivra | glebihan: both those packages install fine. or at least it asks for confirmation so I'm assuming it'll go ahead. | 09:31 |
| theadmin | Loceka: lol... Ubuntu and it's strangenesses | 09:31 |
| glebihan | Loceka, did you try with gksudo ? | 09:31 |
| Loceka | nope | 09:31 |
| theadmin | glebihan: On Ubuntu gksu is the same thing as gksudo | 09:31 |
| dnivra | theadmin: there won't be any issues? And any idea why those don't get installed automatically when eclipse depends on them? | 09:31 |
| glebihan | theadmin, not exactly | 09:32 |
| theadmin | dnivra: Maybe some of their dependencies are unresolvable, I dunno | 09:32 |
| dnivra | hmmm i see. | 09:32 |
| Loceka | theadmin, but for example, synaptics comes with gksu (the command launched in the app menu is something like "gksu --<cant remember> synaptic" | 09:32 |
| glebihan | theadmin, depends how gksu is configured | 09:32 |
| theadmin | glebihan: On Ubuntu, they *are* the same. On usual Linux systems, where there *is* a usable root account, it can be configured with gksu-properties to use either su or sudo | 09:33 |
| glebihan | Loceka, the "<cant remember>" might be important... | 09:33 |
| Loceka | theadmin, it displays the "password" pop up and then synaptic won't launch | 09:33 |
| glebihan | theadmin, that configuration also exists in Ubuntu and might mess things up | 09:33 |
| Loceka | theadmin, the same command written in a terminal with sudo just works well | 09:33 |
| miikael | Loceka: im giving up on ntfs-config =/ gonna try configure it manualy | 09:34 |
| Loceka | glebihan, well it's standard ubuntu install ^^ | 09:34 |
| Loceka | glebihan, I just install xubuntu-desktop and synaptic menu went with it | 09:34 |
| Loceka | miikael, :( | 09:35 |
| glebihan | Loceka, I would still try with gksudo to see if it has the same behavior | 09:35 |
| Loceka | glebihan, it works well with gksudo | 09:38 |
| theadmin | Loceka: Open a terminal, type "gksu-properties", and change su to sudo then | 09:38 |
| glebihan | Loceka, launch "gksu-properties" and authentication mode to sudo | 09:38 |
| Loceka | glebihan, theadmin: it works now :) | 09:39 |
| Loceka | strange it aint configured well from the beginning though | 09:40 |
| theadmin | Loceka: Weird, since by default it should be configured to use sudo... | 09:40 |
| glebihan | Loceka, weird that it was configured that way though... | 09:40 |
| Loceka | indeed | 09:40 |
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| Loceka | miikael, you've got your answer too :) | 09:41 |
| jerriy | I was wondering perhaps due to lack of Ubuntu support that I should join Mint? | 09:44 |
| theadmin | jerriy: Ubuntu has much greater support than Mint, to be honest. | 09:44 |
| theadmin | jerriy: That, and we do not support other distributions here. | 09:45 |
| jerriy | theadmin: I get the feeling that Ubuntu has "maxed out" it's potential | 09:45 |
| oCean | jerriy: this is not a discussion channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for such | 09:46 |
| theadmin | jerriy: *shrug* Up to you. I'm not an Ubuntu user either. It's just not to be discussed here. | 09:46 |
| theadmin | jerriy: Do what oCean mentioned. | 09:46 |
| jerriy | Actaully I did came here to find anwser to an ubuntu problem but the discussion seems to involve mint | 09:47 |
| greenmang0 | can anybody tell me how to fsck lvm partition through live cd? | 09:47 |

| ubottu | jerriy: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 09:47 |
| Loceka | theadmin, what's so different with Ubuntu-based distributions ? | 09:49 |
| ugly_duck | Weird, just went type a sudo command and now its telling me i am not int eh sudoers list? | 09:49 |
| ugly_duck | anyways to fix this, i never set a root password | 09:49 |
| theadmin | Loceka: Not much really, it's just that we can't know what this or that derivative changed, so... | 09:50 |
| theadmin | Loceka: What if they use their own package manager, say, smart instead of apt-get? | 09:50 |
| greenmang0 | ugly_duck, boot using livecd and add yourself to sudoers file | 09:50 |
| ugly_duck | oh shit, i'll go dig it out | 09:50 |
| regularjo | can i copy text from this page and paste it into my text editor? | 09:50 |
| oCean | ugly_duck: or boot into rescue mode, and add yourself to sudoers | 09:50 |
| Loceka | theadmin, ok :) | 09:51 |
| jerriy | theadmin: you are not a ubuntu user??? So I guess you can't help me why all the drop down menus are appearing in the top left corner of the browser page (in my ubuntu pc | 09:51 |
| ugly_duck | green_top: need to chroot or just add | 09:51 |
| ugly_duck | brb | 09:51 |
| theadmin | jerriy: I can't even understand the question. | 09:52 |
| greenmang0 | oCean, but booting into rescue mode will also ask for root password and which he doesn't have i guess | 09:53 |
| jerriy | I'm referring to drop down menues found inside countless internet pages (the intent being that you click on a button with "triangual" sign next to a bar and a (javascript) menu "drops down below the bar | 09:54 |
| theadmin | jerriy: Oh, sounds like a browser problem to me. | 09:54 |
| === arfbtwn_ is now known as arfbtwn | ||
| jerriy | It's a browser in ubuntu problem (I have other OS and such a thing has never happened) | 09:55 |
| theadmin | jerriy: Report a bug, then | 09:55 |
| glebihan | jerriy, could you show us a screenshot | 09:56 |
| oCean | greenmang0: no, booting into rescue mode can drop you in a rootshell without need for password | 09:57 |
| theadmin | greenmang0: Unless you set one, that is. | 09:57 |
| oCean | true | 09:58 |
| greenmang0 | oCean, i doubt that... i am running 10.04 on one of my servers... there was some lvm related problems ... so i went into rescue mode and it asked me for a root password | 09:58 |
| greenmang0 | theadmin, ok | 09:58 |
| greenmang0 | btw do you guys have any idea about doing fsck on lvm partition? | 09:59 |
| greenmang0 | theadmin, oCean ^^ | 09:59 |
| theadmin | greenmang0: Not me. | 10:00 |
| oCean | greenmang0: nope, sorry. You could try asking in #ubuntu-server channel | 10:00 |

| ubottu | edgy: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". | 10:49 |

| edbian | magnus__: what card do you have? | 13:33 |
| magnus__ | Broadcom BCM311 | 13:34 |
| edbian | magnus__: Are you online via some other method right now? (it makes the process much much easier) | 13:35 |
| magnus__ | I using wire now | 13:36 |
| edbian | magnus__: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer and sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 13:36 |
| edbian | magnus__: That installs the firmware and the tool to extract the firmware to use on the card. | 13:36 |
| edbian | magnus__: It is not included in ubuntu because the firmware is not open source | 13:36 |
| magnus__ | ok, i try :) | 13:37 |
| edbian | magnus__: sure | 13:37 |

| kinglet | I have a problem, I download Ubuntu 11.04 twice but the md5 doesnt match! so I tried Ubuntu 10.04-3 and again md5 does not matched. What is the problem u guys think? | 13:39 |
| Helsinkiii | hi. Why does it take an exorbitant amount of time for my music folder to load? I have ~ 200 albums | 13:39 |
| Kingsy | guys, perhaps someone could explain someone to me, cos I am just learning the ropes with ubuntu, I love the reops cos it makes it really easy to install/remove things.. BUT say I want something that isnt in the reops.. you download a .tar.gz file or whatever.. firstly how do you install that? and secondly if I decide I don't want it, how do you remove it? is there a general practice to make sure you do it correctly and don't end up with files all over | 13:39 |
| Kingsy | something** | 13:39 |
| Helsinkiii | The last time I had to wait long times for folders to display their contents properly, my HD crashed | 13:39 |
| edbian | Kingsy: .tar.gz sometimes have uninstall scripts that allow you to easily remove everything. Sometimes they dont' and it's a pain. As for installing .tar.gz let me get you a link. | 13:41 |
| xangua | !compile | 13:41 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:41 |
| Kingsy | edbian: cheers | 13:41 |
| edbian | Kingsy: http://martin.ankerl.com/2007/04/19/how-to-install-anything-in-ubuntu-condensed/ | 13:41 |
| edbian | Kingsy: sometimes you have to compile the code in a .tar.gz sometimes you don't. Installing and compiling are not the same thing at all. | 13:42 |
| magnus__ | firmware-b43- installer dosent work, but i used sudo apt-get install firmware-b43, is that right? | 13:42 |
| edbian | Kingsy: You should always us ehte package manager first | 13:42 |
| Kingsy | edbian: thanks for the info and link.. reading it now | 13:42 |
| edbian | magnus__: the package name is firmware-b43-installer no spaces. So the command is sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer | 13:42 |
| edbian | Kingsy: sure | 13:42 |
| kinglet | any suggest? | 13:43 |
| magnus__ | ok :P | 13:43 |
| Kingsy | edbian: what is aptitude? I use apt-get | 13:43 |
| edbian | Kingsy: aptitude is a slightly more advanced version of apt-get. Either one is fine, they are roughly the same and do the same job (package management) | 13:44 |
| Kingsy | edbian: ah ok | 13:44 |
| edbian | Kingsy: In a lot of cases they are interchangeable. like sudo aptitude install <x> sudo apt-get install <x> | 13:44 |
| magnus__ | ok that worked | 13:44 |
| Helsinkiii | anyone? | 13:44 |
| edbian | magnus__: you have both packages installed? | 13:44 |
| Kingsy | ok nice one | 13:45 |
| Helsinkiii | the more albums I get, the longer it takes to open the directory. but it takes a REALLY long time | 13:45 |
| magnus__ | yes | 13:45 |
| edbian | Helsinkiii: look at your hdd in disk utility | 13:45 |
| Helsinkiii | like 10 seconds to open it | 13:45 |
| edbian | magnus__: sudo modprobe b43 | 13:45 |
| magnus__ | oki :) | 13:45 |
| Helsinkiii | edbian, what do i look for | 13:45 |
| edbian | Helsinkiii: the smart test (it opens a dialog and explains all the issues quite well) | 13:45 |
| Helsinkiii | edbian, it shows green lights for everything, or n/a | 13:46 |
| === d_atharva_ is now known as Singham | ||
| edbian | Helsinkiii: then the disk is fine (and I'm not sure what the problem is) | 13:46 |

| Helsinkiii | edbian: RAM? | 13:47 |
| magnus__ | edbian: some thing more? :) | 13:47 |
| edbian | kinglet: that is strange. All I can see is try again! :P | 13:47 |
| edbian | Helsinkiii: perhaps | 13:47 |
| edbian | magnus__: wifi should be working now. is it not? | 13:47 |
| nfr | Hey :) | 13:48 |
| kinglet | edbian I can't understand! I download Ubuntu for 3 times :( but same problem | 13:48 |
| nfr | Is it possible to restrict a certain ssh account to only one ip? | 13:48 |
| magnus__ | no, but do I have to restart my computer? | 13:48 |
| kinglet | edbian I want to know what is the problem when the Md5sum doesnt match? | 13:48 |
| edbian | kinglet: I do not know. Are you looking at the correct md5sum on the web page? | 13:48 |
| ShishKabab | I'm sorry to ask this here but I'm about to commit a necessary evil: installing Windows 7. I currently have a /boot (ext3) partition, a / (ext4) partition, a /home (ext4) partition and after that an extended partition with a NTFS and swap partition in it. It appears Win7 refuses to install on a logical partition, maybe because it wants to install a bootloader. If I let Win7 take the /boot partition and after that reinstall Grub on, will Win7 still | 13:48 |
| edbian | magnus__: sudo modprobe b43 that should make it work without needed a restart. Did you already run that? | 13:48 |
| ShishKabab | work? | 13:48 |
| kinglet | edbian yes, C:\Users\Kinglet\Documents\My downloads>md5sum ubuntu-11.04-des | 13:49 |
| kinglet | a263de4ca381fc8f0783564733510a02 *ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso | 13:49 |
| magnus__ | no | 13:49 |
| kinglet | edbian and C:\Users\Kinglet\Documents\My downloads>md5sum ubuntu-10.04.3-des | 13:49 |
| kinglet | f1c14ac88e84576b5fc2791119bb856f *ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-i386.iso | 13:49 |
| edbian | kinglet: It means some of the bits from the download were changed (from hardware error) or it means the webmaster posted the wrong md5sum on the site | 13:49 |
| kinglet | edbian https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 13:50 |
| kinglet | edbian hardware error? my hardware? | 13:50 |
| kinglet | edbian like HDD error? | 13:50 |
| magnus__ | can we use a remote-tool? | 13:50 |
| edbian | kinglet: Perhpas the md5sums on the site are outdated | 13:51 |
| edbian | magnus__: sudo iwlist scan does it list wifi networks? | 13:51 |
| edbian | magnus__: I do not want to use a remote tool | 13:52 |
| kinglet | edbian (Supported until October 2012) | 13:52 |
| magnus__ | no, it did yesterday, but not no. | 13:52 |
| magnus__ | ok | 13:52 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: If you install grub it will write over /boot. If windows 7 used /boot it will not longer boot. I think windows 7 wants to be primary and wants more than one partition and wants to have the boot partition first on the drive with the boot flag | 13:53 |
| kinglet | edbian because when I want install the Ubuntu, I got this error ms "kernel panic, unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" | 13:53 |
| edbian | kinglet: oh rly | 13:53 |
| edbian | kinglet: Try downloading ubuntu from a different source | 13:53 |
| magnus__ | i'll try to do what i did yesterday and coming back to you :) | 13:54 |
| kinglet | edbian ok I'll try it. Tnx man | 13:54 |
| magnus__ | thanx for the help so far :) | 13:54 |
| ShishKabab | edbian: Yes, that's what I also fear and hoping to avoid. | 13:54 |
| edbian | magnus__: I am sure about how to get this card to work. run sudo iwlist scan | 13:54 |
| edbian | kinglet: sure | 13:54 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: yes, you'd have to ask for more details in #windows | 13:55 |
| ShishKabab | edbian: Haha. I didn't expect to find that sort of thing on freenode. I'll check there. | 13:55 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: sure | 13:56 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: just don't mention to them the ubuntu install. It isn't relevant and it will turn them off | 13:56 |
| magnus__ | yes I did but i got interface doesn't support scanning : network is down | 13:56 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: In most cases it is much easier to install windows first and then install ubuntu | 13:56 |
| edbian | magnus__: for wlan0 as well? | 13:56 |
| magnus__ | yes | 13:57 |
| edbian | magnus__: sudo rfkill list then is the last step | 13:57 |
| edbian | magnus__: That command tells if things are blocked. Is anything blocked? | 13:57 |
| ShishKabab | edbian: Yes, I know. But I don't feel like doing a reinstall (= waste of time) just for Windows so I'm trying to avoid that. | 13:57 |
| edbian | ShishKabab: sure | 13:57 |
| magnus__ | hp-wifi wireless LAN :hard blocked is blocked | 13:58 |
| edbian | magnus__: that means you switched the card off | 13:58 |
| edbian | magnus__: with the kill switch on the laptop | 13:58 |
| edbian | :) | 13:58 |
| edbian | silly magnus__ :P | 13:58 |

| Mrokii | Is it a known problem that sometimes windows don't receive key-presses in Ubuntu 11.04 even though the windows are the active ones? I notice that mainly when I have opened two or more Gnome-Terminal-Windows. | 14:00 |
| bluepixel2 | Is there a flag I can pass to dpkg when I'm installing a kernel to make it the default kernel to boot? | 14:00 |
| OmegaLimit | Hi, I'm having some trouble with an HDMI out to a TV using Ubuntu 11.04 on a GeForce 8200M G video card; I was here a week ago with the same problem but I'm hoping maybe someone will know how to fix this | 14:00 |
| Striker3070 | 11.04, what is the command to stop, then start network services from the terminal window | 14:00 |
| OmegaLimit | When I go into NVIDIA X Server Settings and try to enable the TV, either my laptop locks up or the TV doesn't respond and the laptop receives the new resolution/settings that the TV should be getting | 14:01 |
| === kish is now known as gaddafi | ||
| cythrill | excuse me i mean xterm -e | 14:02 |
| OmegaLimit | Oddly, after just inputting the same settings for the TV about 30 times last time, the output just suddenly worked but then wouldn't work again once unplugged | 14:02 |
| mockenh_ | Striker3070, you can restart NetworkManager via 'restart network-manager' (needs root) | 14:02 |
| OmegaLimit | Does anyone know what might be the issue? | 14:02 |
| Joe0006 | is there a way to check if everything is working right on ubuntu ? | 14:02 |
| Joe0006 | like if somehting missing or broken | 14:02 |
| Striker3070 | mockenh - thank you | 14:03 |
| yeats | Joe0006: a better approach is to tell us what's *not* working right ;-) | 14:03 |
| Joe0006 | yeats i install some software using apt-get and sometimes they are not there | 14:03 |
| Joe0006 | so i need to know in the future how to find out if something is broken in the system | 14:04 |
| yeats | Joe0006: do you have specifics? | 14:04 |
| Joe0006 | nope | 14:04 |
| Joe0006 | in windows you can scan for errors in the windows dir, harddisk, registry | 14:04 |
| Mrokii | Joe0006: Do you mean that the install-process fails? | 14:04 |
| kad_ | hey, i need help!! how i can re-boot from old kernel ( i have 2.6.8-10 and 2.6.8-8), i want to boot back to the 8 but i doesn't appear during boot how? the 2.6.8-8 still found in the /lib/modules and in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg!! thanks in advance | 14:04 |
| Joe0006 | i want same stuff | 14:04 |
| cythrill | anyone have any ideas about mine? | 14:05 |
| yeats | Joe0006: you can check whether a program is installed by doing (in the terminal): 'dpkg -l | grep <packagename>' where package name is either part or all of the specific package name | 14:05 |
| OmegaLimit | kad_: Can you get the grub menu to come up when you start your computer? | 14:05 |
| yeats | Joe0006: either that or you can open Synaptic and do keyword searches on what you have installed | 14:06 |
| kad_ | <OmegaLimit> yes | 14:06 |
| kad_ | OmegaLimit bu the 2.6.38.8 not found although in the grub.cfg it's | 14:06 |
| Joe0006 | thanks yeats | 14:06 |
| rp | hi peeps, i am having trouble getting dhclient.conf working | 14:06 |
| rp | anyone got experience with it? | 14:07 |
| rp | i want to have additional search parameter | 14:07 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: shoot | 14:07 |
| OmegaLimit | kad_: I think there might be a few issues with that; it'll show up in my grub boot but if I try to boot into it, it'll hang | 14:07 |
| yeats | Joe0006: there are diagnostic tools for Ubuntu/Linux, yes, but they're different than what you're used to seeing | 14:07 |
| rp | so i use append domain-name ' bbb.com' and restart network but /etc/resolv.conf still doesn't show the change | 14:07 |
| kad_ | OmegaLimit, then why it doesn't appear to me ? | 14:08 |
| OmegaLimit | kad_: I'm not sure :( | 14:08 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: what are you trying to achieve ? | 14:08 |
| zykotick9 | cythrill, do you have gnome installed? | 14:08 |
| rp | ShArkY_ so on ec2 /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting updated | 14:08 |
| rp | and i need to have a search hostname in resolv.conf to make my app work | 14:09 |
| rp | i could overrite it using puppet but i didn't wnat dhcp and puppet to fight | 14:09 |
| cythrill | yes blackbuntu with gnome | 14:09 |
| zykotick9 | cythrill, that wasn't an invite to PM. Best of luck. | 14:09 |
| rp | so wanted to configure it using dhclient.conf instead | 14:09 |
| cythrill | yeah sorry , hit the wrong button, was msginng someone else | 14:09 |
| cythrill | wow really? | 14:10 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: For me it still not very clear what you are trying to achieve. Can you please explain from the beginning ? | 14:10 |
| rp | sorry, so i have a hostname in the code called memcache | 14:11 |
| rp | and based on the environement i am on, i want the code to use it with a different domain name | 14:11 |
| ShArkY_ | what kind of code ? | 14:11 |
| rp | web application | 14:11 |
| ShArkY_ | oke | 14:12 |
| rp | so in dev /etc/resolv.conf will contain dev.hosts.bla.com which makes memcache.dev.hosts.bla.com | 14:12 |
| ShArkY_ | yes | 14:12 |
| rp | similarly on qa it becomes memcache.qa.hosts.bla.com | 14:12 |
| rp | so on ec2, i want it to contain hosts.bla.com which means memcache.hosts.bla.cm | 14:12 |
| rp | now when i make an entry in resolv.conf ec2's dhcp overrites it | 14:13 |
| rp | so what i wanted to do was that i wanted its dhcp do its job but at the same time add my entries in there as welll | 14:13 |
| rp | did i make sense this time? :P | 14:13 |
| cythrill | Hello all, I am trying to open up a new command prompt and exectue a command using one line, when i try: xterm -e grimwepa the terminal just flashes open then closes, can anyone help? | 14:13 |
| ShArkY_ | by ec2 you mean the amazon cloud ? | 14:14 |
| dr3mro | plz my laptop on high load overheats and shutdown .. tried to upgrad the kernel to 3.0 and the heat generated on normal use is lower but when i try 7zip a file it can't complete .... shutdown from heat i had to manually scale down cpu speed from 1.8 to 1.3 to keep from overheating but i need to make scaling automatic according to heat what should i do ????????? | 14:15 |
| rp | yes | 14:15 |
| rp | that's right | 14:15 |
| rp | but the problem is independent of ec2/aws | 14:15 |
| rp | i am trying to get it working on ubuntu vm | 14:15 |
| rp | and it doens't work there either | 14:15 |
| ShArkY_ | You could a domain name to the config of your dhcp-server. | 14:17 |
| rp | i don't control that | 14:17 |
| ShArkY_ | Where is the server ? | 14:17 |
| rp | its aws' dhcpd | 14:17 |
| ShArkY_ | what is aws ? | 14:17 |
| rp | amazon web service | 14:17 |
| ShArkY_ | (just trying to get the picture clear overhere) | 14:17 |
| rp | that' alright, sorry if i am not clear | 14:17 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 14:18 |
| ShArkY_ | And do they send you a domain-name in their DHCP offer ? | 14:19 |
| rp | yes | 14:19 |
| rp | theyd o | 14:19 |
| ShArkY_ | and dhclient writes this domain name to resolv.conf. Correct ? | 14:20 |
| ShArkY_ | in the search entry | 14:20 |
| rp | yes that's right | 14:20 |
| rp | yes | 14:20 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: do the following: | 14:22 |
| zykotick9 | cythrill, open gnome-terminal, Edit / Profile Prefrences - Title and Command tab - "When command exits:" switch to "Hold the terminal open" then use "gnome-terminal -e FOO" and the window won't close (so you can see what's happening) | 14:22 |
| ShArkY_ | vi /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate | 14:22 |
| ShArkY_ | Append this piece of code: | 14:23 |
| ShArkY_ | #!/bin/sh | 14:23 |
| ShArkY_ | make_resolv_conf(){ | 14:23 |
| ShArkY_ | : | 14:23 |

| ShArkY_ | chmod +x /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/nodnsupdate | 14:23 |
| rp | k, thanks! and how do put custom values in there? | 14:24 |
| ShArkY_ | You want to overwrite the domain name you are getting from aws ? | 14:24 |
| rp | i want to 'search' part of resolve be appeneded with my own values | 14:25 |
| === nu2uyu is now known as mitu | ||
| ShArkY_ | Well, you can just make a search entry in /etc/resolv.conf. With the fix above, it will not overwrite it | 14:25 |
| ShArkY_ | Or do I not understand correctly ? | 14:26 |
| rp | but it will update everything else properly? like nameserver etc right? | 14:26 |
| ShArkY_ | No.. this ones will be statis as well. | 14:26 |
| rp | hmm, this won't work for me (i have tried it and ensures that my file doens't get changed) but i wanted to ensure that dhcpd can update everything else but also append my provdided values work | 14:27 |
| rp | i am not sure why dhclient.conf doesn't work | 14:27 |
| rp | is that no longer used anymore? there are man pages for it though? | 14:27 |
| link307 | is there anybody can help me ? | 14:28 |
| compdoc | maybe | 14:28 |
| zykotick9 | !ask | link307 | 14:28 |
| ubottu | link307: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 14:28 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: Looking at dhclient.conf now | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | rp, NM will overwrite any user inserted values in resolv.conf | 14:28 |
| ShArkY_ | You see a request part in that config | 14:29 |
| rp | yes | 14:29 |
| rp | that's right | 14:29 |
| ShArkY_ | You could also leave out domain-name there | 14:29 |
| link307 | " sudo ssh -qTfnN -D port username@server " i connected ssh with this method successfully but how can i disconnect it? | 14:29 |
| rp | ah! cool let me try that again | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | link307, usually 'exit' will work | 14:30 |
| ShArkY_ | Link307: or try ctrl+c | 14:30 |
| oCean | ctrl+d is logout | 14:30 |
| Soulis77-SE | Hi everyone. Could someone give me a suggestion for a "backup" site online. I mean I site where I can view current and history pages of a certain URL. I know there are some out there but can't remember url. | 14:31 |
| ShArkY_ | right | 14:31 |
| link307 | BluesKaj: but actually the ssh is running background | 14:31 |
| rp | link307: type fg | 14:31 |
| Abhijit | Soulis77-SE, stumbleupon? | 14:31 |
| ShArkY_ | Link307: Then you should search for the process id in your process list and kill it:) | 14:31 |
| link307 | rp: i use "jobs" but thers is nothing | 14:32 |
| ShArkY_ | link307: ps auxwww | grep -i ssh | 14:32 |
| Soulis77-SE | Abhijit: No, I know the URL, but I would like to look how the page looked like one week ago or something like that.. :)O | 14:32 |
| ShArkY_ | (in a console) | 14:32 |
| Abhijit | Soulis77-SE, no idea what do you want. try in #ubuntu-offtopic not here | 14:33 |
| link307 | ShArkY_: but i still want to adjust it (just want to resee it) dont want to kill | 14:33 |
| ShArkY_ | ah sorry:) | 14:33 |
| DigDug | I'm in a birthing class...... brutal | 14:34 |
| Soulis77-SE | Abhijit: Thanks I change channel. | 14:34 |
| Abhijit | :-o | 14:34 |
| ShArkY_ | link307: I think you should ssh a different way, so you could get it back to the forground, as rp suggested | 14:34 |
| oCean | DigDug: wrong channel | 14:34 |
| DigDug | im birthing a distro of ubuntu | 14:35 |
| link307 | rp: "fg" can only restore the "job" but there's nothing when i type "jobs" | 14:35 |
| oCean | DigDug: do you have a support question? | 14:35 |
| glebihan | link307: with "ps -ef", you should be able to see which tty/pts the ssh process is attached to | 14:35 |
| rp | if you can't find it anywhere its problem not there link307 | 14:35 |
| link307 | glebihan: yeah, i know. maybe you just misunderstand , & i just want to see the running ssh in my terminal again | 14:37 |
| glebihan | link307: yes but for that to be possible, the process must be attached to the virtual console of that terminal | 14:38 |
| ShArkY_ | link307: you should kill the process for now, and start it a different way | 14:38 |
| link307 | ShArkY_: hah, got it . just wanna know how to fix this weird problem | 14:38 |
| ShArkY_ | Link307: I cannot think of any way to get this program back to the foreground again | 14:39 |
| Newbuntu2 | hello | 14:39 |
| link307 | glebihan: absolutely i can kill it . i just want to fix it elegantly. :-D | 14:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | Hi Newbuntu2 | 14:39 |
| glebihan | link307: I didn't suggest you killed it. I suggested you checked if the process is attached to the correct virtual console | 14:40 |
| === mitu is now known as inxagu | ||
| Newbuntu2 | can someone recommend a USB video capture device (must be able to capture S-video) that works in Ubuntu well? | 14:40 |
| ShArkY_ | rp: How things are going ? | 14:41 |
| link307 | ShArkY_: glebihan: rp: thx guys . maybe it is actually not a problem. :p | 14:42 |
| ShArkY_ | Link307: I don't think it is either:) But glad I could help | 14:43 |
| Greg___ | Hi, is there anyone on that could lend an ear to my ubuntu problem and possibly help me? I tried in beginners but no one on there I guess | 14:44 |
| crunchbang | sure Greg_ whats the problem? | 14:45 |
| zykotick9 | link307, <UNRELATED TO YOUR ISSUE, BUT> you probably don't need to use "sudo ssh ..." try just "ssh ..." | 14:45 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ok now im just wondering if its my router or my computer. but when i had ubuntu 9.04, my comp would disconnect quite often. at least once every 2 hrs. and once every 4 hrs, it would pretty much disconnect and stay off. and i would have to reset the router. but what makes me think its my computer now, is after i installed ubuntu 11.04, everything worked perfect up until yesturday. it all worked fine for about 3 weeks. | 14:46 |
| * inxagu says hi | 14:46 | |
| ShArkY_ | AcidRain: What do you mean by disconnect? Link down ? | 14:46 |
| link307 | zykotick9: tried it . same~ | 14:47 |
| compdoc | [THC]AcidRain, what network card you use? some can overheat | 14:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ShArkY_, well to my knowledge the router would still be working to an extent. im wondering if ubuntu is causing my route rproblems | 14:47 |
| magnus | Hi again, what antivirus is best to ubuntu, and free? | 14:47 |
| link307 | zykotick9: no difference | 14:47 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, Did you try upgrading the firmware on the router? I had a similiar problem and that fixed it. | 14:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | compdoc, im not sure, how to determine network card? | 14:47 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, i may just have to try that. its an older linksys router | 14:48 |
| crunchbang | mangus: clam av | 14:48 |
| zykotick9 | link307, but there is a difference, ssh is no longer being run as root. This was a general comment, not specific to your issue. | 14:48 |
| ShArkY_ | AcidRain: which version ? | 14:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | WRT110 1.0.04 firmware | 14:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, Linksys too, was the one I had problems with. | 14:48 |
| majorastro | does ubutnu have security cam software | 14:48 |
| inxagu | Am running lubuntu live, out of Ifree nodes. How do I fix that within session? | 14:48 |
| [THC]AcidRain | so you believe its my router and not uubuntu? | 14:49 |
| Greg___ | Ok, so I have ubuntu on my laptop a hp pavilion zv6000 when I initially installed it the wired internet connection worked right out of the box, altho I had some problem with the wireless. But yesterday Natty wanted me to download an upgrade which included a generic linux kernal, and since I did upgrade I can't get my wired nore my wireless connection to work, and they both did before I installed that upgrade | 14:49 |
| crunchbang | majorastro: you mean like prey? | 14:49 |
| Abhijit | majorastro, it has web cam softwares. if thats what you need. | 14:49 |
| majorastro | looking for seciruty cam software for ubuntu | 14:49 |
| majorastro | no i need someting for my ip security cameras | 14:49 |
| ShArkY_ | AcidRain: That's hard to say. Don't you have another computer/device connected to the router ? | 14:49 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, Only problem with that solution is that you gotta' use winbloze to accomplish...:-( | 14:49 |
| link307 | zykotick9: actually it is running smoothly . | 14:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, what you mean? i have to have winbloze to update firmware? :/ | 14:50 |
| zykotick9 | Greg___, when you boot up to you see a grub menu where you can choose what kernel? (hold shift down if you aren't seeing it) If you boot the old kernel does it work? | 14:50 |
| link307 | zykotick9: i think it is not in the background and just the process is alive | 14:50 |
| ShArkY_ | Winbloze eq Windows | 14:50 |
| Abhijit | majorastro, what you expect it to do? alarm on change in the scenario? | 14:50 |
| [THC]AcidRain | ShArkY_, i got that much :P | 14:50 |
| Abhijit | or as suggested by crunchbang try prey majorastro | 14:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, On second thought, maybe not; 192.168.1.1 and go through menu; Side opened his big mouth before thinking through; sorry.. | 14:51 |
| [THC]AcidRain | yeah i remmeber seeing the update link. let me try to find it | 14:51 |
| majorastro | no i need software that records video from securty cameras | 14:52 |
| * Sidewinder1 Been on here too long :-/ | 14:52 | |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, ok i found it. now my question is, upgrading firmware is kinda scary. how would i go about getting a proper version that i know that works | 14:52 |
| Abhijit | majorastro, i found camstream and zoneminder in software center | 14:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, im looking at this: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT110 | 14:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, That's kinda' a loaded question; just shut down all other programs and select update firmware, that's the best advice I can give you. | 14:53 |
| [THC]AcidRain | oh, so my router will automatically find what it needs? | 14:54 |
| crunchbang | majorastro: also motion | 14:54 |
| Kingsy | I just completed a grsync Rsync process exit status: 23, it said the process completed with errors.. how do i find out what the errors were? | 14:54 |
| compdoc | this isnt your ISP's router? | 14:54 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, well actually thats not the case here. i only have a "browse" button to select a downloaded firmware | 14:54 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, It should BUT, your milage may vary. :D | 14:54 |
| Kingsy | ohh nm its cos it couldnt copy lost+found | 14:54 |
| Greg___ | Ok, so I used the grub chooser and booted into the old kernal and everything works fine | 14:55 |
| crunchbang | cool | 14:55 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, report a bug | 14:55 |
| majorastro | ok motion and zoneminder look good thanks | 14:55 |
| Greg___ | Ok, how do I do that? | 14:55 |
| Abhijit | !bug | Greg___ | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Greg___: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 14:55 |
| Kingsy | what is the setting in grsync to sync files that are new or have been modified and leave everything else? or is that what happens by default? | 14:56 |
| link307 | zykotick9: ssh -q：Quiet mode -T：Disable pseudo-tty allocation. -f : placing itself in the background. will these options make any sense | 14:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I believe that it's somewhere in the config/options menu. | 14:57 |
| Greg___ | Ok, so I'll check out that website and figure out how to report the bug, now am I going to have to just continue to use the old kernel till it gets fixed? | 14:57 |
| zykotick9 | link307, not to me, but i don't really know what you are trying to do. | 14:58 |
| crunchbang | Greg___: yep | 14:58 |
| crunchbang | if you want internets | 14:58 |
| Greg___ | Ok, thanks guys | 14:58 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: hmm I cant see it | 14:58 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, If memory serves, it also has a 'test' command to try. | 14:58 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, you just need to type ubuntu-bug <package name> | 14:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, the next firmware upgrade for me is 1.0.04 to 1.0.07 :/ thats not a big jum... | 14:58 |
| Abhijit | in terminal | 14:58 |
| [THC]AcidRain | jump....* | 14:58 |
| link307 | zykotick9: ok, ok | 14:58 |
| Greg___ | type it in this chat or on the linux terminal? | 14:58 |
| Greg___ | sorry, I'm real new | 14:59 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, linux terminal | 14:59 |
| Greg___ | how do I find out the package name? | 14:59 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, wait for a sec | 14:59 |
| Abhijit | let me ask in bug channel | 14:59 |
| zykotick9 | Greg___, what kernel is it that isn't working? You probably need the specific version #. | 14:59 |
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, I had that problem with linksys on a win box; not the one I'm currently on, so I can't really help further, sorry. :-( | 14:59 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: hmm what do you mean? I am using the GUI yeah? also how do you stop it trying to sync lost+found it just errors everytime it tries | 15:00 |
| [THC]AcidRain | Sidewinder1, its cool. thanks for your help to this point. im going to upgrade and show up here again. let you know how it went | 15:00 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I haven't use it in a while but I think there was a place to include/exclude files/directories.. | 15:01 |
| Greg___ | it's kernal 2.6.38-11-generic and my comp works with 2.6.38-10 | 15:01 |
| === eric_ is now known as mukti | ||
| Sidewinder1 | [THC]AcidRain, No prob. :-) | 15:01 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: there isnt, there is a additional options box, but I don't know what I can enter in there.. | 15:02 |
| zykotick9 | Greg___, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/814316 | 15:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 814316 in linux (Ubuntu) "Natty's kernel update 2.6.38-11 kills network card config" [Undecided,Invalid] | 15:02 |
| Kingsy | and there isnt any options to do with only updating files when they have a newer timestamp | 15:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Don't you also have an "advanced options"? | 15:03 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Mine does. | 15:03 |
| Kingsy | yup, there is nothing of note | 15:03 |
| Greg___ | Ok, so if the bugs already been reported should I report it again? | 15:03 |
| Kingsy | checksum preserve keep pertial symlinks etc etc | 15:04 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: nothing that refers to what I need | 15:04 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, mark the bug in that link given by zykotick9 as affects to you too and if needed commend the description | 15:04 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, no just mark it as affect to you also | 15:04 |
| Greg___ | Ok, thanks alot guys | 15:04 |
| zykotick9 | Greg___, that bug was marked "invalid" unfortunately, but you should still probably add details to it, IF you use realtek | 15:04 |
| ResQue | how can i switch between terminal tabs in ubunut | 15:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I see what you mean; all you really need to back up id your /home. | 15:05 |
| Sidewinder1 | is, even. | 15:05 |
| ResQue | using the keyboard | 15:05 |
| Arney | What's wrong with the EPIC suggestion #5? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28433 | 15:05 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: I have done that.. and its backed up.. | 15:05 |
| Abhijit | ResQue, alt <num> or ctrl <num> I think | 15:06 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: but if I run it again, it backs up fully again, whereas it should say "the backup is upto date or whatever" | 15:06 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: also I get an error about lost+found everytime it runs.. which is a little annoying | 15:06 |
| ResQue | Abhijit: alt+nul on my system, thanks | 15:06 |
| Abhijit | ResQue, also try ctrl -> or ctrl <- | 15:06 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, All the rest of your ubuntu OS is in the / section and if there's a problem with that you just reinstall | 15:07 |
| dr3mro | plz i need a list of unofficial linux kernels available out there ?? | 15:07 |
| oCean | Arney: this is not a discussion channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:07 |
| guy__ | Hello. Does anyone have experiences on installing xubuntu on a Asus 1101HA? | 15:07 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: huh? | 15:07 |
| oCean | dr3mro: what? | 15:07 |
| Arney | oCean got it. | 15:07 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: do you know what I am asking? | 15:07 |
| Arney | #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:07 |
| dr3mro | oCean, I know there is many modified kernels releases not by linus but by community memebers | 15:08 |
| oCean | dr3mro: I don't see how that is related to #ubuntu? | 15:08 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, That's strange; my lost nfound is in my root dir, not home. | 15:08 |
| Kingsy | hmmm | 15:08 |
| Kingsy | it could be cos I mved the contents over from another drive | 15:09 |
| ResQue | Abhijit: i tryed that first it didnt work :( | 15:09 |
| Abhijit | ok | 15:09 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: ah ok, I got rid of the lost+found | 15:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, You might check your root dir for lost+found; if it's there you can "probably" delete it from your /home. | 15:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 15:10 |
| Kingsy | yeah done :) | 15:10 |
| Abhijit | Greg___, do you have a source complied driver for your network interfaces? | 15:10 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: ok so now, how do I change grsync so it only updates the backup drive if something has changed? | 15:11 |
| zykotick9 | Kingsy, see if you can add "--exclude=lost+found" to your rsync command | 15:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I love when a plan comes together. | 15:11 |
| usr13 | dr3mro: YOu might find what you want at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev | 15:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Stand by. | 15:11 |
| Kingsy | zykotick9: yeah I got that fixed without.. cheers tho | 15:11 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: np | 15:11 |
| zykotick9 | Kingsy, "got rid of lost+found"? you didn't delete it did you? | 15:11 |
| Kingsy | zykotick9: yeah.. why? | 15:12 |
| zykotick9 | Kingsy, wow. good luck with that. | 15:12 |
| Kingsy | lol | 15:12 |
| llutz | Lost+Found will be recreated by fsck if needed, no harm | 15:12 |
| Sidewinder1 | zykotick9, He got rid of the lost+found in his /home | 15:13 |
| zykotick9 | Sidewinder1, according to llutz it doesn't matter. | 15:13 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: no hes right I shouldnt have done it, my home is a mounted drive | 15:13 |
| Kingsy | but thank the lord it doesnt matter :P | 15:13 |
| llutz | Sidewinder1: every ext-fs has an own "lost+found" | 15:13 |
| n2i | Is there any bug with ibus-pinyin on 11.04? | 15:14 |
| Tank852 | Please help, doing updates. Ubuntu keeps asking for the installation disk over and over and over again. How can I fix this? | 15:14 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, That's why I prefaced with "propbably". | 15:14 |
| zykotick9 | Tank852, Software Sources - uncheck the CDROM | 15:14 |
| Kingsy | yeah, it was my dumb fault.. but nm | 15:14 |
| Tank852 | zykotick9: how do i do that | 15:15 |
| === iqpi|come is now known as iqpi | ||
| zykotick9 | Tank852, sorry, I'm not sure on 11.04 -- check in U.S.C. for Software Sources | 15:15 |
| usr13 | Tank852: Administration -> Software sources | 15:16 |
| Tank852 | ahh, thank you | 15:16 |
| Greg___ | Abhijit see, i think thats the problem, i didnt reinstall the drivers... the wired card i installed through the ui and the wireless i installed through the terminal but i cant find the guide back that helped me with that. but with the new kernal in other drivers it says my card is installed but it doesnt work? | 15:16 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I can't give the specific answer; you might try ticking "size only" but if the file has changed but is the same size, I don't think it'll back it up. | 15:16 |
| zykotick9 | Tank852, do you have and Administration / Software sources? I didn't think that was there anymore. | 15:16 |
| Tank852 | zykotick9: Yes, I found it | 15:17 |
| Tank852 | Im on 10.04 | 15:17 |
| zykotick9 | Tank852, ahh | 15:17 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: ok.. thats probably going to be enough.. thanks | 15:17 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: worked great.. thanks m8 :) | 15:18 |
| Kingsy | really appriciate it | 15:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, I'm relatively sure there's a way to do exactly what you want; I'm just not sure how. :-( | 15:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Hey, great! | 15:18 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: well at least this is something :) | 15:18 |
| me-alone | hi...can Ubuntu be installed on PS3 | 15:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Fun, isn't it? | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: I wonder if there is a way of putting this on a timer so it runs every 5 days or something? | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | or every 7 days.. | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: possible? | 15:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | Kingsy, Read up on cron, type, in terminal man cron. | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | Sidewinder1: thanks will do | 15:19 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 15:19 |
| Kingsy | brb just gotta restart | 15:20 |
| elkclone | ok | 15:20 |
| elkclone | lol | 15:20 |
| llutz | Kingsy: check rsnapshot for automated backups, it also allows to exclude things from being backed-up | 15:20 |
| Kingsy | llutz: cool, is this something that runs in conjunction with rsync ? | 15:21 |
| llutz | Kingsy: it uses rsync , yes | 15:21 |
| Kingsy | ah cool | 15:21 |
| Kingsy | thanks.. | 15:21 |
| hammma | Hello all | 15:22 |
| Taos | I havent used ubuntu in years. Which version am I picking x86 or 64bit? | 15:22 |
| Taos | Im on a 64bit machine | 15:22 |
| [THC]AcidRain | 64 :) | 15:23 |
| glebihan | Taos, 64 | 15:23 |
| Taos | Is the 64bit version loved? | 15:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | Taos, Either 10.04 or 11.04 | 15:23 |
| mukti | In Firefox on my windows machine, I can use ctrl+1, ctrl+2, ctrl+3, etc. to switch tabs. I can also hit backspace to go back. These key combinations don't work on firefox on my linux machine; is there a way to enable them, or set them up? | 15:23 |
| Taos | I mean does software come out supporting both 64 / 32 bit | 15:23 |
| zykotick9 | me-alone, gnu/linux on PS3 will have probably have disappointing performance due to the low amount of memory in the PS3. Plus, you'd need to find a PPC distro. | 15:23 |
| Sidewinder1 | Taos, 10.04 is LTS, Long Term Service. | 15:23 |
| zykotick9 | Sidewinder1, Long Term Support actually | 15:24 |
| Taos | Sidewinder1: Not bothered about LTS :P | 15:24 |
| glebihan | Taos, 64bit is widely supported now | 15:24 |
| Taos | glebihan: wonderful | 15:24 |
| hammma | windows manager decoration keeps on crashing that is , window frame, min, max buttons won't be there, the question is there a log file from which I can know why it's crashing? | 15:24 |
| Taos | 11.04 here I come | 15:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | zykotick9, I stand corrected. :-) | 15:24 |
| Taos | Is there any support for swapping the session around? Like going from the standard to Awesome etcetc | 15:24 |
| soreau | zykotick9: me-alone: As I understand it, yellow dog linux remains the optimal distro for playstations. This doesn't really have anything to do with ubuntu though. Google it ;) | 15:24 |
| Bl4ckbird | Taos, if you dont *know* you need 64-bit, then stick w/ 32-bit. | 15:25 |
| Taos | Bl4ckbird: If Im on a 64 bit machine surely I will get more from it | 15:25 |
| Bl4ckbird | no, you may even get less out of it | 15:25 |
| mukti | Does anyone know about firefox shortcuts? | 15:25 |
| zykotick9 | Taos, how much memory do you have? | 15:25 |
| Taos | 4gb on this machine | 15:26 |
| zykotick9 | Taos, that's a boarder-line amount - i run 64bit on my 4GB machine though | 15:26 |
| Bl4ckbird | then I would say stay w/ 32bit | 15:27 |
| Taos | Bl4ckbird: oh? | 15:27 |
| latagore | Why not just check what architecture you are running... | 15:27 |

| oCean | Taos: I have not had any problems running 64bit in years. The 64bit flash might be a problem, but the 32bit runs just fine. All packages are also in 64bit, so no problems there | 15:28 |
| Kingsy | its a backup drive.. so its pretty pointless having it in the menu | 15:28 |
| mukti | Is there any way to change keyboard shortcuts in firefox? | 15:28 |
| zykotick9 | Does "flashplugin-nonfree" install 64bit flash on Ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| oCean | mukti: maybe try #firefox channel? | 15:28 |
| latagore | Bl4ckbird, if he changes hardware, then he might get more out of it | 15:28 |
| latagore | zykotick9, it should | 15:29 |
| inxagu | mukti: google 'firefox shortcuts' will reveal all | 15:29 |
| zykotick9 | latagore, "should" isn't the answer I'm looking for. I "know" it does on Debian, but I'm asking about Ubuntu. | 15:29 |
| oCean | inxagu: don't suggest to google, thanks | 15:29 |
| Bl4ckbird | if he gets > 4G ram, he will. otherwise, 64-bit consumes more memory, depending on what he's doing it might matter. then again, he would probably never notice the difference either way. | 15:29 |
| Lekensteyn | Hi all, is it OK for a preinst script to run an uninstaller of a program which is not installed using dpkg? The program in question is the git version of the package. | 15:29 |
| Taos | Bl4ckbird: Im a programmer | 15:29 |
| inxagu | oCean, sorry, it seemed off-topic | 15:30 |
| zykotick9 | Bl4ckbird, "consumes more memory" isn't exactly accurate (you're using the 32bit world as your baseline) | 15:30 |
| Bl4ckbird | so you know 64-bit pointers are twice as large as a 32-bit pointer. so each pointer takes 2x the ram to store. | 15:30 |
| oCean | Taos: I agree with the 2nd part of Bl4ckbird's post: you probably won't notice any difference | 15:30 |
| Guest86473 | sa orospu cocuklarý | 15:31 |
| Bl4ckbird | so allocation-happy apps like Java apps, etc. all consume more. You probably wont notice the difference in that regard, but it's more pressure on your L1/L2 caches, longer fetches, etc. | 15:31 |
| latagore | zykotick9, well I apologize. You could open up synaptic and check the supported architectures. If ia64 or amd64 is listed, 64 bit should be available; not to mention it downloads directly from adobe.com anyways, which has 64 bit versions of flash | 15:31 |
| Taos | Hmm | 15:32 |
| Taos | Well | 15:32 |
| Bl4ckbird | i run 64bit, but have 8G ram on these machines. Browse from a Mac, so i dont know if flash/64 works or not. It used to be a pita to get flash working in 64-bit | 15:32 |
| Lekensteyn | 64b flash is available from ppa:sevenmachines/flash | 15:33 |
| zykotick9 | latagore, I don't think opening my Debian synaptic is going to help - I already know it installs 64bit ;) Thus my question. Thanks for the input. | 15:33 |
| Taos | I can run 32bit binaries from 64bit (sorry im having a brainfart) | 15:33 |
| Whabo | Helllo | 15:33 |
| zykotick9 | Taos, most | 15:33 |
| Taos | zykotick9: So long as I can run python32bit I hate the 64bit version for some reason or other | 15:34 |
| zykotick9 | Taos, sorry that i don't specifically know about | 15:34 |
| latagore | zykotick9, oh, I assumed you were running Ubuntu already. Ubuntu also uses synaptic as its package manager | 15:35 |

| * inxagu plz, howto Ifree-up Inodes on a 'live' system? I have '/dev/loop0 Iuse=100% /rofs' from df -i. Am I in right channel? | 15:45 | |
| yeats | zykotick9: latagore: if you download the deb, you can do 'less <pkgname>.deb' to view its contents | 15:46 |
| yeats | just a cool feature of debs and less, in case you weren't aware ;-) | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | yeats, the deb is just a script which will download the actual plugin, it doesn't have the "real" contents | 15:46 |
| yeats | zykotick9: I am aware of what a deb file is | 15:47 |
| zykotick9 | yeats, i'm talking about this specific DEB for flashplugin-nonfree, others aren't like this | 15:47 |

| Bl4ckbird | cellar, try looking at your config.log in the caelum dir, theres probably a way to run ./configure --with-boost-header=/somewhere/boost | 15:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | inxagu, If no one answers, that'd be my suggestion. | 15:50 |
| inxagu | Sidewinder1 Oh, yess, exhaustively. Hours of looking & no further. One would think.... | 15:50 |
| Sidewinder1 | inxagu, I'm just curious, by "live" system, do you mean that you're running from Live CD? | 15:51 |
| tbruff13 | hello can someone please help | 15:51 |
| Sidewinder1 | !ask | tbruff13 | 15:52 |
| ubottu | tbruff13: 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. :-) | 15:52 |
| inxagu | corrrect, lived-cd, it's unclear where the 'real' filesystems are | 15:52 |
| tbruff13 | Sidewinder1: i just asked | 15:52 |
| tbruff13 | how can i set up my home computer to connect like a virutal desktop with my school laptop they both have linux on them | 15:52 |
| crunchbang | tbruff13: doesn't ubuntu have a remote desktop application? | 15:53 |
| Sidewinder1 | inxagu, I know nothing about inodes; what I do know is that any changes that you make when running "live", will not persist after reboot. | 15:53 |
| tbruff13 | i am using remmina how do i set up the server side like i know how to connect but how do i set up someting to connect to | 15:54 |
| inxagu | Sidewinder1 I agree, though it should be possible to set persistence. | 15:54 |
| cbhl | inxagu: /rofs should have 100% inode usage; it should be reading off a read-only CD? I believe the live environment uses unionfs and ramdisks to give you a read-write environment | 15:54 |
| paulo | ubuntu 11.04 don't conect to wireless, what I can do? | 15:54 |
| edbian | paulo: what card do you have? | 15:55 |
| cbhl | inxagu: although persistence has always been rather flaky; i can never remember which releases do and don't work with persistance | 15:55 |
| Sidewinder1 | tbruff13, Yes, ubuntu does have a remote desktop, I've used it on a lan, but I, like you would love to know how to configure it for wan use. :-) | 15:55 |
| paulo | it isn't version? | 15:55 |
| tbruff13 | hello | 15:55 |
| tbruff13 | ok | 15:56 |
| inxagu | cbhl, well, I'm getting 'no space left on device'. There is space, but no Ifree. The CD itself is of course full. | 15:56 |
| cbhl | you shouldn't be able to write to the CD... what about the ramdisk? | 15:56 |
| gr33n7007h | Mac OSX is far superior that any linux distrobution. FACT !!! | 15:57 |
| crunchbang | tbruff13: http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop | 15:57 |
| Sidewinder1 | inxagu, Please remember that "live" runs from RAM; perhaps that's why you're getting that error message? | 15:57 |
| inxagu | cbhl I think I could delete inode on ramdisc, if I could find it & get past the security. | 15:57 |
| gr33n7007h | Especially DEBIAN | 15:57 |
| paulo | i'm brasilian, somebudy can help me? | 15:57 |
| yeats | inxagu: I think when you get that message when running a liveCD it means that the RAM is full - I've seen the message but I've never investigated very far | 15:57 |
| cbhl | inxagu: it doesn't work that way.... | 15:57 |
| edbian | paulo: what card do you have? | 15:58 |

| edbian | greg__: hello | 16:13 |
| greg__ | Ok so, I bet you never get this, but I have a problem =p | 16:14 |
| hagus | I am using a wufi installation on win7 - Would it possible to boot in linux by default rather than in windows by default? I am able to choose at boot time but if I leave my machine unattended, it defaults to windows. | 16:14 |
| hagus | greg__: nobody will respond until you state your problem. | 16:15 |
| edbian | hagus: go into wubi, look at the file /etc/default/grub | 16:16 |
| greg__ | ok, since I installed the new kernel my network card doesn't work.. and when I initially installed ubuntu the wired network was plug and play | 16:16 |
| hagus | Thanks edbian - sorry for calling it wufi rather than wubi | 16:16 |
| edbian | hagus: ha, that's ok | 16:17 |
| paulo | it is wep and wpa | 16:17 |
| greg__ | everything I read about online in the ubuntu documents leads me to believe that a wired connection be self detecting and it was before, but not with this new kernel, it doesn't even sense there is a connection present | 16:17 |
| paulo | how can i conect to wireless in ubuntu 11.04 | 16:18 |
| daftykins | greg__: revert to the prior kernel then? | 16:18 |
| greg__ | I did, and that's how I'm talking to you right now. but aren't there advantages to using the newest kernel? so I'm trying to get it to work | 16:18 |
| daftykins | if everything works for you, probably not | 16:18 |
| daftykins | greg__: you might be able to get it working if you install a backports package for the kernel though (but i don't understand how that works) otherwise, you'll have to have the LAN driver as a module to compile | 16:19 |
| llutz | greg__: not working network really is a bid advantage :) use whatever kernel works for you | 16:19 |

| greg__ | yea, it was a real headache getting the wireless to work, I still can't remember how I did it I followed some guide. How can I check my wired card even tho i'm not using it right now? | 16:29 |
| edbian | greg__: is it listed in the output of sudo ifconfig -a ?? | 16:29 |
| dury | had problem to mount an Ipod with mac format | 16:29 |
| dury | I mounts in ubuntu 10.04 | 16:30 |
| julie101010 | does anyone know how to fix grub when getting a file not found error? | 16:30 |
| ylmfos | merhaba | 16:30 |
| greg__ | Ok, you say the output of that, how do I check that. sorry I'm a real newb. that command doesn't work for me it says command not found | 16:31 |
| sveinse | Is there an option to apt-get to only list which packages eligible for upgrade if (dist-)upgrade were issued? | 16:31 |
| ylmfos | merhaba | 16:31 |
| Myrtti | julie101010: so you've deleted /boot? | 16:31 |
| edbian | greg__: sudo ifconfig -a is not found? | 16:31 |
| ylmfos | merhaba | 16:31 |
| julie101010 | Myrtti, I did because of a confusion with the mounted boot partition | 16:31 |

| julie101010 | thanks llutz | 16:32 |
| Myrtti | llutz: it's not the lack of grub that's the problem | 16:32 |
| dury | julie101010: I guess it's ....boot the live cd an type in terminal "update-grub" | 16:32 |
| Corey | paulo: Stop pasting here. | 16:32 |
| paulo | i don't understand | 16:33 |
| julie101010 | dury, llutz: I did update-grub from live-cd after chrooting correctly and it didn't fix the proble | 16:33 |
| greg__ | that is the wireless broadcom bcm4318 | 16:33 |
| llutz | julie101010: sry i missed that you removed /boot, | 16:33 |
| paulo | thanks] | 16:33 |
| NCS_One | hi | 16:33 |
| Kyle__ | Can one make a managed wireless network from networkmanager in ubuntu 11? | 16:34 |
| yeats | paulo: if you have wired access, try doing this in a terminal 'sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source', then reboot - see if it works then | 16:34 |
| edbian | paulo: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter sudo modprobe b43 then it will be working | 16:34 |
| julie101010 | llutz, running update-grub did place all the files I think are needed in /boot | 16:34 |
| paulo | bye bye | 16:34 |
| greg__ | ignore that last post I got confused and reread when someone asked me what card I was using | 16:34 |

| yeats | edbian: I believe you ;-) | 16:35 |
| edbian | greg__: This is not good. | 16:35 |
| llutz | julie101010: grub-files yes, but what about kernel/initrd/system,map | 16:35 |
| greg__ | does that mean there is something wrong with my kernal? the upgrade was a little goofy, I had to install it like 3 times before it finally told me it was already installed | 16:35 |
| rumpe1 | Kyle__, sudo iwconfig <device> mode managed (?) | 16:35 |
| edbian | greg__: well some packages are missing, hang on | 16:36 |
| Kyle__ | rumpe1: OK, so that's a no, not through network-manager, but using the CLI methods. | 16:36 |
| dury | mount an Ipod with mac format, ant suggestions, please? | 16:36 |
| edbian | greg__: sudo apt-get install net-tools | 16:36 |
| dury | ant = any | 16:36 |
| Kyle__ | rumpe1: I just didn't want to go through using the CLI tools, to find out it screwed up what ubuntu setup :) | 16:36 |
| greg__ | it said they were already installed | 16:37 |

| edbian | greg__: now sudo ifconfig -a should work too | 16:38 |
| hagus | edbian: the original was 0, tried 2 and then 1. Kept booting into windows though :( | 16:38 |
| NCS_One | paulo: #ubuntu-br | 16:38 |

| hagus | no | 16:38 |

| markke | Anybody having troubles with PAE kernel 2.6.38.-11 on Natty? I get a black screen. Even on single user it won't boot. | 16:39 |
| dean | Hey all I am looking at installing libreoffice but it only gives gnome and kde which one would I need for Xubuntu? | 16:39 |
| IdleOne | gnome | 16:39 |
| cain_ | ok got a major problem with ports being closed | 16:39 |
| hagus | Windows appears above the ubuntu in the boot screen - so I should choose 2 to prefer ubuntu? | 16:39 |
| cain_ | can anyone help me | 16:39 |
| Kyle__ | markke: And what happens with a normal kernel? | 16:39 |
| dean | IdleOne, Is Xubuntu gnome based? | 16:39 |
| edbian | hagus: yes (but make sure you run sudo update-grub after changing the file) | 16:40 |
| cain_ | all inbound ports are closed | 16:40 |
| liaquat | I would like to type Bengali in Linux 11.04. What to do? | 16:40 |
| Larbear | Does anyone know why I cannot log into the kernel as a super user with the password I use to log into the Ubuntu desktop? | 16:40 |
| hagus | ok ta - sorry I forgot to do so earlier. | 16:40 |
| cain_ | 10.04 server | 16:40 |
| IdleOne | dean: no but it surely doesn't use kde | 16:40 |
| dury | why does mount Ipod in 10.04 and not in Natty? | 16:40 |
| markke | Kyle__: I'm on 2.6.38 default. I have 8GB ram. I thought I might try the latest available in USC and it's .11. | 16:40 |
| dean | IdleOne, Or would I be better off just installing libreoffice and leave the desktop environment support alone? | 16:41 |
| greg__ | ok, I got that info I don't see anything that looks like it refers to my wired card, something about up broadcast running multicast | 16:41 |
| Kyle__ | markke: I would try moving to the 2.6.38 pae first, before trying moving to the latest avaiable. One variable at a time, ya know? | 16:41 |
| cain_ | any one around that may be able to help me out for opening ports in 10.04 | 16:41 |
| markke | Kyle__: normal kernel boots fine. I just need a PAE coz my 5 something GB of RAM Is useless. | 16:41 |
| IdleOne | dean: that is probably a better idea | 16:41 |
| markke | Kyle__: makes sense.it's still DLing now. I'm asking if anybody got same probs :) | 16:41 |
| dean | IdleOne, Ok cool just needed some clarification thanks for that | 16:41 |
| Kyle__ | markke: 4gb. Windows only uses 3 or 3.5 with 32bit, Linux uses 4 :) | 16:42 |
| edbian | greg__: That's probably it. I think since we installed net-tools that the wired card is working now | 16:42 |
| Kyle__ | markke: KNow the feeling. Good luck. | 16:42 |

| Trond-- | What do I format a 2TB HDD as? | 16:43 |
| markke | Kyle__: for some reason I only get 3.1 even on Linux. my desktop has 4GB and it's the same thing. | 16:43 |
| cain_ | HELLO | 16:43 |
| cain_ | CAN anyone help me out | 16:43 |
| greg__ | i have one more question, what the heck does apt stand for? | 16:44 |
| Kyle__ | markke: Odd. Maybe your bios/chipset is using some. Starting back in the early athalon days I think bioses & chipsets started gobbling up ram for their own uses. | 16:44 |
| Kyle__ | cain_: Don't ask to ask, start with what the problem is. | 16:46 |
| cain_ | Ok | 16:46 |
| mockenh | greg__, man apt => apt - Advanced Package Tool | 16:46 |
| markke | Kyle__: yeah it's just 3186MB or roughly 3.2. It's being rounded to 3.1 on System Monitor, but `free` tells the true story. | 16:46 |
| edbian | cain_: by default none of the ports are closed (the firewall is off) | 16:46 |
| cain_ | The problem is: all ports are inbound are closed, I have disabled all firewalls and the server is DMZ'd | 16:46 |
| edbian | cain_: Why do you think all inbound ports are closed? | 16:47 |
| markke | Kyle__: do you know if anything higher than 2.6.38-8 fixes that regression Phoronix was talking about regarding kernel consuming more power? coz on desktop it's fine. but this here on my laptop i need to save as much power. | 16:47 |
| cain_ | because nothing will work and...canyouseeme.org cannot see any ports | 16:47 |
| cain_ | only localhost works | 16:47 |
| edbian | cain_: can you run nmap on your own address? | 16:48 |

| Kyle__ | markke: Wow. And I thought my netbook's battery was just going a little south bout when 11 came out. | 16:50 |
| markke | cain_: Supposedly ports should be closed if know app is listening on it. Try running one and it should open, assuming you open it up on the firewall. | 16:50 |

| markke | Kyle__: IDK what the official kernel devs said about the claims by Phoronix but they had a really good story. Even 3.0 still hast that power hungry bug. | 16:51 |
| markke | Kyle__: lol.... great excuse :P | 16:51 |
| hagus | It does not matter much | 16:51 |
| San_ | any chat rooms available?? | 16:51 |

| cain_ | yes, 6666-7000 | 17:08 |
| coz_ | tim167, you installed with live cd ...yes? | 17:09 |
| cain_ | the webserver won't start because port 80 won't open | 17:09 |
| fr500 | most likely router misconfiguration | 17:09 |
| coz_ | tim167, did you check the md5sums of the iso image before burning it? | 17:09 |
| fr500 | what do you mean with that last statement? | 17:09 |
| tim167 | coz the CD is working, the booting from /dev/sda1 does not | 17:09 |
| cain_ | well i use abyss web server, and will not start because port 80 won't open up | 17:09 |
| tim167 | coz_ the CD is working, the booting from /dev/sda1 does not | 17:10 |
| cain_ | everthing was fine untill i upgraded to 10.04 | 17:10 |
| fr500 | are you running the web server as root? you can't bind to ports below 1024 as regular user | 17:10 |
| coz_ | tim167, I aks if you checked the md5sum because it could have been corrunpted during download,, torrents generally have extra checks so less likely to be corrupt | 17:10 |
| fr500 | also you could use cherokee if you want a fast, easy to setup web server | 17:11 |
| tim167 | i also have this: /dev/sda1 partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary | 17:11 |
| cain_ | well..with abyss web server the only way to run it on port 80 is to use sudo | 17:11 |
| tim167 | coz_ the problem is not the CD | 17:11 |
| coz_ | tim167, ooo I see,, and is this a dual boot? | 17:11 |
| fr500 | but maybeif it's not binding to port 80 maybe there is something else on port 80 | 17:11 |
| tim167 | coz_ no | 17:11 |
| coz_ | tim167, how large of a drive is it | 17:11 |
| cain_ | otherwise it will default into port 9999 | 17:11 |
| fr500 | can you try telnet 127.0.0.1 80 ? | 17:11 |
| tim167 | coz_ 350GB | 17:12 |
| cain_ | which btw won't run either because the ports won't open | 17:12 |
| cain_ | i can try it | 17:12 |
| coz_ | tim167, yikes... when something like this happens I generally use D-Ban to write zeros to the drive then install,, however on that size drive it may take more than 8 or 9 hours to complete | 17:12 |
| tim167 | coz_ the thing is that this is an already installed ubuntu, which does no longer boot now, it did boot before | 17:13 |
| cain_ | i get invalid command when trying to telnet | 17:13 |
| tim167 | coz_ it was a working system, now it drops to "busy box" when booting, right after the GRUB menu | 17:13 |
| sweb | is any option for set proxy for rhythmic box separate from global gnome proxy ? | 17:14 |
| coz_ | tim167, ah when it drops to busybox,, after about 5 seconds,, type exit,,, see if it boots to desktop | 17:14 |
| llutz | cain_: sudo lsof -i :80 && netstat -tlpen|grep :80 any output? | 17:14 |
| tim167 | fsck /dev/sda1 gives "input/output error" and stops | 17:14 |
| fr500 | cain_: weird, try sudo apt-get install telnet first | 17:14 |
| coz_ | tim167, for that error however, I cant think of anything offhand that could remedy it,, | 17:14 |
| dell | i have to format /dev/sda3 as ntfs.....how to do that? | 17:15 |
| cain_ | fr500 here is a 1 line output | 17:16 |
| cain_ | telnet: could not resolve 127.0.0.1:80/telnet: Name or service not known | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | dell: gparted can do it after you install the proper ntfs support package | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ntfsprogs | 17:16 |
| ubottu | ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu4 (natty), package size 268 kB, installed size 712 kB | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | dell: or theres command line ways | 17:17 |
| cain_ | llutz i got no output for the command line you wanted me to try | 17:17 |
| tim167 | I tried booting from liveCD and do "fsck /dev/sda1" in terminal there, but it says input/output error | 17:17 |
| llutz | cain_: so nothing listening on port 80 | 17:17 |
| dell | how to install ntfsprogs because apt-get is not working | 17:17 |
| cain_ | no | 17:18 |
| cain_ | nothing will open besides browsers | 17:18 |
| cain_ | when it comes to port 80 | 17:18 |
| IdleOne | llutz: cain_ possible you need to forward 80 to 8080 or something because isp is blocking? | 17:18 |
| cain_ | well...port 8000 will not open | 17:18 |
| cain_ | ports will not open at all | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dell: perhaps you should be focusing on getting apt fixed first. Or just use a gparted live cd to do your disk partioniong needs. | 17:19 |
| soreau | alright, wth. I try grub-install /dev/sda and it says unrecognized option /dev/sda :P | 17:19 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all | 17:19 |
| cain_ | right now 6667-7000 and 8000 are on, however, they will not open to the outside world | 17:19 |
| cain_ | i have tried efw | 17:19 |
| cain_ | firestarter | 17:19 |
| cain_ | everything worked in the recent kernal | 17:19 |
| dell | i have to install windows 7 and for that i need an ntfs partition....and i am fed up of this....its really hard to beleive that to format a drive as ntfs is sooooooo difficult (i have ubuntu 9) | 17:19 |
| IdleOne | dell: the windows cd can format the partition | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | dell: the windiows cd's ive always used can format partitions... | 17:20 |
| llutz | dell: windows installer can format | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | its not hard to format to ntfs.. if you got the tools | 17:20 |
| IdleOne | dell: see ##windows for more help with that | 17:20 |
| cain_ | when researching my problem, i found that there was an issue in the in the latest kernel that does not allow inbound connections, something to do with etho and etho1 | 17:21 |
| cain_ | and something to do with editing those properties | 17:21 |
| cain_ | however, im not quiet sure how to actually edit those properties | 17:21 |
| hugenumber | Cain_ sound like server configuration to me, and router issue...but I use apache | 17:23 |
| cain_ | yeah well i thought so maybe at first too, but then in looking back over the problem it didn't happen till 10.04 natty | 17:24 |
| cain_ | so i think its something to do with an internal configuration to the system | 17:24 |
| d3vic3 | any one having trouble with black image on webcam like i do? | 17:24 |
| hugenumber | what kernel you have? | 17:24 |
| d3vic3 | 2.6.38.11 | 17:25 |
| cain_ | its 2.3.34 | 17:25 |
| cain_ | no | 17:25 |
| d3vic3 | ah, wasn't for me... | 17:25 |
| cain_ | 2.6.32-34 | 17:26 |
| hugenumber | Hmm i dont understand thats what im running on 10.10 here | 17:26 |
| hugenumber | I prefer 10.04...and it was working great for me before | 17:26 |
| cain_ | im going to upgrade to 10.10 and see if it solves my problem | 17:29 |
| cain_ | thanks for your help, if it works or if it does not, i will be back to let you know | 17:30 |
| hugenumber | You might have to re - configure a few things | 17:30 |
| hugenumber | good lcuk though | 17:30 |
| cain_ | im hoping that it is an internal programming problem within ubuntu 10.4 that 10.10 addresses | 17:31 |
| subz3r0 | cain_ guess not? Coze 10.04 is LTS, 10.10 Not... | 17:31 |
| fr500 | cain_: sorry was afk | 17:32 |
| fr500 | I never said :80 | 17:32 |
| fr500 | telnet is 127.0.0.1 80 | 17:32 |
| fr500 | and space not a : | 17:32 |
| cain_ | ok i will try that real quick | 17:32 |
| d3vic3 | black image on uvcvideo webcam, plz help! | 17:32 |
| cain_ | telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused | 17:32 |
| fr500 | ok then nothing is running on 80 | 17:33 |
| cain_ | no | 17:33 |
| fr500 | what is the output when you try to start your web server on port 80? | 17:33 |
| cain_ | unfortunately not | 17:33 |
| fr500 | I mean, what is the text output when you try | 17:33 |
| cain_ | it doesn't give me any print out, it just locks | 17:33 |
| fr500 | what does it say | 17:33 |
| fr500 | oh | 17:33 |
| fr500 | sucks | 17:33 |
| cain_ | yeah | 17:33 |
| FloodBot1 | fr500: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:34 |
| cain_ | lol | 17:34 |
| fr500 | lol | 17:34 |
| fr500 | cain_: is there a good reason to use that instead of apache or cherokee? | 17:34 |
| cain_ | i know that 10.04 is LTS, however, 10.10 is there to add to and fix problems early, which will then be implemented at least some of them into the LTS | 17:34 |
| mneptok | cain_: what webserver is this? | 17:34 |
| cain_ | abyss webserver | 17:35 |
| cain_ | yeah it has a ton of controls and a nice GUI to boot | 17:35 |
| llutz | cain_: check logs | 17:35 |
| mneptok | cain_: uhhhh .... why? | 17:35 |
| mneptok | The software described and available for download in this site is the last open source version of Abyss Web Server: In 2001, Abyss Web Server became closed source and subsequent versions were and continue to be published by Aprelium Technologies (a company founded by Abyss Web Server's original author). | 17:36 |
| mneptok | ^^^ not something i'd use ^^^^ | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | i agree | 17:36 |
| mneptok | not updated since 2001? and you'll use it in a production environment? | 17:36 |
| simsaladim | hi all, want to give my network-card a static-ip, used before login, managed by networkmanager, configured with file '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/xyz'. how can i set the default config-file? | 17:36 |
| cain_ | yeah that just turns into an proprietary and open source argument | 17:37 |
| cain_ | the release im running just came out this year | 17:37 |
| cain_ | so its new | 17:37 |
| hugenumber | personal perference | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | so you paid for it? | 17:37 |
| mneptok | cain_: no, it turns into a "a webserver not updated in a decade can reasonably be considered deprecated" | 17:37 |
| cain_ | yeah, 20 bucks i think | 17:37 |
| mneptok | cain_: so they should support you with issues you have | 17:37 |
| cain_ | mneptok it was udated this year | 17:38 |
| hugenumber | /cry | 17:38 |
| Hyperbyte | After I ditched NIS and NFS, and moved all files to a local partition and using LDAP for user accounts, Thunderbird stopped working. It says 'starting' in the taskbar, but doesn't actually start. Running it from a terminal gives no output either. | 17:38 |
| simsaladim | hugenumber: noX. which file does nm use? | 17:38 |
| cain_ | i like open source too | 17:38 |
| Hyperbyte | Strange thing is, it doesn't work with non-ldap (local) users either anymore. | 17:38 |
| cain_ | i think there are pro's and cons to both proprietary and open source | 17:38 |
| Hyperbyte | This is 11.04. Does anyone have any pointers as to what direction I can look to fix this? | 17:38 |
| mneptok | cain_: this has nothing to do with the license. it has to do with the fact you paid for a piece of software, you're having problems, and you should turn to the company that sold you the product for support. | 17:39 |
| cain_ | mneptok: i think you didn't see my earlier discussion, the software has always worked it just don't work in 10.04 | 17:41 |
| cain_ | same with my irc server, it has always worked, now it doesn't | 17:41 |
| cain_ | and to bust out the use of proprietary and open source, web admin only works for local host as well | 17:42 |
| ShakeyJake | hey guys, i'm trying to grep a line out of my lm-sensors output. I want the cpu temp line that begins with 'temp1:' but there is anothe line that also begines with 'temp1:'. How do i grep one but not the other? Google is not being helpful | 17:42 |
| === marcos is now known as Guest5411 | ||
| mneptok | cain_: so ask the vendor why this is happening. | 17:43 |
| cain_ | web admin is open source | 17:43 |
| cain_ | conferenceroom by webmaster works just fine on linux, however, it doesn't work on 10.04 | 17:43 |
| cain_ | abyss webserver works just fine on ubuntu linux as well, however, it don't work on 10.04 | 17:44 |
| oCean | ShakeyJake: with -v you can prevent an other line from being printed, but you haven't shared much details. cat file | grep foo | grep -v bar will prevent the line containing bar from showing in the output | 17:44 |
| cain_ | same thing with web admin | 17:44 |
| cain_ | that is a cross of proprietary and open source with the same result in 10.04 | 17:44 |
| cain_ | the problem is this case is the ubuntu version | 17:45 |
| cain_ | it has to be | 17:45 |
| cain_ | ok well will be back when its all done | 17:45 |
| cain_ | cya all later | 17:45 |
| greg__ | ok, installed new kernel, ethernet doesn't work. lspci -k still says driver is installed, sudo ifconfig -a doesn't say anything about eth0 or wireless which I have | 17:46 |
| harris6310 | Hello | 17:46 |
| ShakeyJake | oCean: so i can find something that is in the unwated line and tell grep to not print any lines with the unwanted bit in? the cpu line i WANT reads 'temp1: +XX.XC (high = +70.0C)' and the UNWANTED line reads 'temp1: +XX.C (High = +255.0C)' | 17:46 |
| harris6310 | Can anyone help me with a driver problem? | 17:46 |
| MagicJ | harris6310: skip the hellos and "can I ask" - just ask - that is the correct way in here | 17:47 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: sensors |grep ^temp1 |grep -v 255 | 17:47 |
| oCean | ShakeyJake: command | grep ^temp | grep -v 25 | 17:47 |
| harris6310 | I tried installing the latest nVidia driver through the additional drivers menu but it said it was not activated. | 17:47 |
| oCean | llutz won this one | 17:47 |
| th0r | oCean: I think you need 255, just in case the temp rises to 25 in the first line | 17:48 |
| harris6310 | Sorry, it's activated but it's not in use. | 17:48 |
| oCean | th0r: true, but llutz already beat me to it :) | 17:48 |
| llutz | oCean: sry, won't happen again :) | 17:50 |
| ShakeyJake | so i should have '' grep -A 1 'temp1' -v '255' '' | 17:50 |
| ShakeyJake | ? | 17:50 |
| oCean | ShakeyJake: -A shows a line after the matching one. | 17:50 |
| ShakeyJake | oCean: which is what i want isnt it? | 17:51 |
| ShakeyJake | or isnt it? | 17:51 |
| harris6310 | Does anyone know how to fix my problem? | 17:51 |
| oCean | ShakeyJake: I have no idea what you want. The command llutz sent, should work | 17:51 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: if you want the line starting with temp1, it isn't what you want | 17:51 |
| MagicJ | harris6310: read the rules here - if u don't get an answer do not bug people - if someone had an answer they would have posted it | 17:51 |
| ShakeyJake | ah, right. sorry this is from a conky script i found on the net and am trying to modify | 17:51 |
| harris6310 | Okay | 17:52 |
| harris6310 | Okay, I have now removed the driver, which is the best way to get it back? | 17:53 |

| ajf | (hear music, frozen image) | 17:54 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: pastebinit it pls, maybe wecould help | 17:54 |
| oCean | we can try.. | 17:55 |
| ShakeyJake | llutz, oCean, it's just one line ${execi 1 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp1' | cut -c 16-21| sed '/^$/d'} | 17:55 |
| ShakeyJake | i assume i just need a '-v' in there somewhere? | 17:55 |
| llutz | ${execi 1 sensors | grep -A 1 'temp1' |grep -v 255 | cut -c 16-21| sed '/^$/d'} | 17:55 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: ^^ try it | 17:55 |
| ShakeyJake | perfect, thanks boys | 17:56 |
| ShakeyJake | i had my formatting wrong and was trying '| grep -A 1 'temp1' -v '255' | | 17:56 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: i still wonder why -A1... do they also want temp2? | 17:56 |
| ShakeyJake | nope, not as far as i can tell | 17:56 |
| ShakeyJake | although it works | 17:56 |
| llutz | ShakeyJake: unfortunately grep has not logical AND, so you need 2 greps | 17:57 |
| ShakeyJake | that makes sense llutz | 17:57 |
| llutz | has no* | 17:59 |
| ShakeyJake | llutz, yeah, i got it :) | 17:59 |
| ShakeyJake | seems like quite a limitation but i guess it's easily solved | 17:59 |

| ubuntu2 | the problem is I was reading and it asid to first change to desktop but itt says no such directery | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu2: you may want to read up on a few shell basics tgutorials.. it would be 'cd Desktop' IF the directory name is Desktop. not 'desktop' | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntu2: case IS imporntant | 18:05 |

| Dr_Willis | if you are wanting to run the bin ubuntu2 you need to cd to where it was downloaded to. whch may or may not be the 'Desktop' directory | 18:06 |

| fr500 | it's not likely a binary file with run with bash | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | it totatally depends on the bin ive sene them done several ways | 18:17 |
| fr500 | bash scripts are not binaries | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | the directions hes reading shoule really tell him the proper way | 18:17 |
| fr500 | ubuntu2: all you need to do is chmod +x file.bin | 18:18 |
| fr500 | and then ./file.bin | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I have sene .bin that are that way that run with sh, | 18:18 |
| airtonix | fr500: riveting tale old chap | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | the .bin extension should be banned. L:) | 18:18 |
| fr500 | ubuntu2: if you have a suitable interpreter it should run | 18:18 |

| urlin2u | MePha, where is this happening, and have you in installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 18:20 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: You can't compare it to ubuntu/debian/rhel/centos. You can compare it to arch linux, or crux however. | 18:20 |

| uns0b1ll | i agree on comparison | 18:21 |
| rcmaehl | uns0b1ll: yes if you make your own irc client | 18:21 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: If you're using the desktop, use network manager, otherwise, /etc/network/interfaces | 18:21 |
| rcmaehl | It's not hard | 18:21 |
| uns0b1ll | thnx | 18:21 |
| Tech-1 | lol | 18:22 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: networkmanager is a gnome thing that ubuntu is fond of using for gui config. On the desktop, it's best to stick with that and not use the files, as it can get confused. | 18:22 |
| w30 | Dr_Willis, were you a teacher in your former life; perhaps a saint? | 18:22 |

| uns0b1ll | hey Kyle how can i respond just to u | 18:23 |
| ResQue | is there a way i can ask apt-get where a package is installed? | 18:23 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Seriously? gedit isn't part of the fbsd gnome desktop packages? | 18:23 |
| llutz | ResQue: "where" as in where the files are? dpkg -L packagename | 18:23 |
| uns0b1ll | im on ubuntu now - i switched | 18:23 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: generally put a persons name followed by a colon, and the IRC client highlights it for that user. | 18:23 |
| ResQue | llutz: spot on thanks | 18:24 |
| uns0b1ll | got tired of constant inconsistencies | 18:24 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Or for a private conversation, you use /msg, but generally that's frowned upon in help channels. People like to hear what other people suggest, and add to it, suggest alternatives, correct the suggestions, etc. | 18:24 |
| w30 | Dr_Willis, *chuckles* | 18:24 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ test test | 18:24 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Yup, that worked. | 18:24 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ yea im on xebuntu or gebuntu whatever you call 11.4 server with minimal gnome on it | 18:25 |
| Mankool | does anyone know where this message is logged --> "The selected configuration for displays could not be applied. requested position/size for CRTC ..." ? | 18:25 |
| Mankool | doesn't seem to be in /var/log/Xorg.* | 18:25 |
| airtonix | Mankool: grep -R CRTC /var/log | 18:26 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Probably xbuntu then. XFCE based ubuntu desktop, and since XFCE uses gnome, it's got just enough gnome for everything to run. | 18:26 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ had to switch from Freebsd 8.2, just got tired of configuring Xorg, lack of drivers, community not exactly helpfull, all that jazz | 18:26 |
| Mankool | airtonix: thanks... dunno why i didn't think of that | 18:26 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ i still run OpenBSD or Pfsense for work though | 18:27 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Well, ubuntu has it's own frustrations using X, as it autoconfigures everything, leaving you no xorg.conf to peruse and edit if you don't like something. | 18:27 |
| delac | or, is there any "print to pdf" software that can join two pages into one and has setting for the gap width? | 18:27 |
| marko_ | hi, I hope someone can help me. I'm a brand new ubuntu user..I'm trying to set up my wireless card and I'm afraid I'm doing more damage than good | 18:27 |
| Kyle__ | delac: I think you can do that with imagemagick, but there are probably other/better programs to do it with. | 18:28 |
| Mankool | hmm it appears it isn't logged anywhere in /var/log... I am trying to work with 3 monitors on an ati hd 5700 card which seems possible, but i got one of those bubble messages saying "The selected configuration for displays could not be applied. requested position/size for CRTC ..." | 18:28 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ also majority of software not compatible with Freebsd out the box - software like GNS3 or FOG Imaging server, so that was major point to convert | 18:28 |
| delac | Kyle__: I would hope so. But what? | 18:28 |

| Kyle__ | delac: a package called pdftools comes to mind, but I don't know where in my head it's coming from. Try googling it :) | 18:29 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Heh, have fun, I generally turn off eyecandy, so I never know where to turn it on. | 18:29 |
| lion42 | goddard, wait a month. then you'll be threatening to switch to ubuntu. For some reason, people feel a need to threaten to switch between these two OSes the most often. | 18:29 |
| uns0b1ll | do i need to put default gateway in my /etc/network/interfaces ? | 18:29 |
| Mankool | last time i tried using the ati catalyst control center to configure the third monitor xorg became broken and had to rever to backup xorg file to get it to work | 18:29 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: yes. Unless you are the default gateway, of course. | 18:29 |

| * Kyle__ sighs. Making a usb boot disc is so damned slow on an old flash drive. | 18:30 | |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle thats under iface eth9 inet **.**.***.** netmask 255.255.255.0 ? | 18:30 |
| uns0b1ll | gateway **.**.** ? | 18:30 |
| goddard | lion42: Ubuntu has dropped the ball and if you actually used F15 you would understand why | 18:30 |
| uns0b1ll | or is it default_gateway ? | 18:31 |
| lion42 | goddard, I -have used- fedora, and like 100% of rational users, saw no major day-to-day differences. | 18:31 |
| Mankool | anyone have any idea on the error message "The selected configuration for displays could not be applied. requested position/size for CRTC ..." and then gives some dimensions after i connect a third monitor on my ati hd 5700? | 18:31 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: I think so. I don't have an example infront of me. Just "gateway" | 18:31 |
| goddard | lion42: what does that even mean? | 18:31 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ i'll try | 18:31 |
| lion42 | This is not a channel to debate the slight merits of two OSes, this is a support channel | 18:31 |
| marko_ | Dr_Willis, the problem is that my card worked (though extremely slowly) when I initially installed Ubuntu, but when I completed the first updates and rebooted the card stopped working entirely | 18:31 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Pretty sure there's a good manpage on it. | 18:31 |
| goddard | lion42: hahah | 18:31 |
| lion42 | If you would like to praise fedora, perhaps they have a channel for that? | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | from a user point of view the actual disrto should not matter a lot. : ) | 18:31 |

| goddard | lion42: please stop talking about fedora in the support channel | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | marko_: you should have stated that in theoriginaal problem then. :) Tried booting back tot the old kernel and see if it then works? | 18:32 |
| uns0b1ll | whers restart networking hmm no /etc/rc.d ? | 18:32 |
| Kyle__ | lion42: Were you referring to the FBSD/ubuntu transition conversation? | 18:32 |
| marko_ | Dr_Willis, sorry but I have no idea how to do that.. | 18:32 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: Errr /etc/init.d/networking restart. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: last i heard the SERVER iso would not work properly when put on a usb stick. You could set up grub2 to boot it i belive.. but its been ages ago. | 18:32 |
| Kyle__ | uns0b1ll: I think. | 18:32 |
| lion42 | Kyle__, correct. I suggested that the user find a more suitable channel. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis | marko_: select an older kernel at the grub boot menu | 18:32 |
| zykotick9 | uns0b1ll, you can try "sudo service networking restart" but it doesn't work all that great these days | 18:33 |
| uns0b1ll | Kyle_ u got it thnkas | 18:33 |
| goddard | Kyle__: i did the same the user didn't listen though | 18:33 |
| Mankool | Does anyone know if there is a maximum virtual screen size for multiple monitors Ubuntu 11.04? | 18:33 |
| krishnan | Dr_Willis: will I be able to install grub after the installation on usb stick is over. If yes pls tell me how? | 18:33 |
| marko_ | Dr_Willis, I actually don't have GRUB, or at least it doesn't show up on boot. I wiped Windows from this machine and only have Ubuntu loaded | 18:33 |
| uns0b1ll | haha i guess putting netmask in my interfaces file not good idea after all | 18:33 |
| uns0b1ll | ifdown: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces" | 18:33 |
| uns0b1ll | c/etc/network/interfaces:10: too many parameters for iface line | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis | krishnan: personally i would check the pendrivelinux web site. they ahve tools that put grub2 on the pendrive and puts the iso there as well. | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | marko_: hit the shift key at the rigth time and the grub menu will appear.. i always disable the lame hide-grub-menu feature. no idea when you hit shift.. | 18:34 |

| chrome_ | Kyle__: more than win7? | 18:50 |
| rcmaehl | chrome_: ? | 18:50 |
| Kyle__ | chrome_: The question is, is the hardware you're on stable enough. Unstable hardware is about the only thing that will make it unstable. | 18:50 |
| Kyle__ | chrome_: Much more stable than windows 7. | 18:50 |
| chrome_ | Kyle__: because in the past I had some problems... The X always crashing.. | 18:50 |
| zykotick9 | chrome_, if "stability" is one of your primary concerns i wouldn't recommend 11.04 (10.04 maybe, but olders software there) | 18:50 |

| zykotick9 | mrdeb, i've run ubuntu for a long time on 4GB (origional EEEPC, I owned 3) and after a few updates even 4GB is too small | 18:55 |
| mrdeb | chrome, what ameks is crash are drivers or apps | 18:55 |
| Kyle__ | chrome_: I've never had it crash for a non-hardware reason. | 18:55 |
| mrdeb | zyk, ubuntu is not the best os for eee | 18:55 |
| mrdeb | you know it | 18:55 |
| Kyle__ | chrome_: By that I mean, USB-tuner that drew WAY to much power cause the hardware to power off to save itself. And the boot drive getting removed from a running system. Long story. | 18:56 |
| zykotick9 | mrdeb, i obviously don't run it anymore, but did for years, dating back to ubuntu 7.10 - and i'll repeat one more time, 4GB is too small for ubuntu | 18:56 |
| mrdeb | no, it isnt zyko | 18:56 |
| mrdeb | you have a full install with office under 2.3 | 18:56 |
| w30 | chrome_, My Ubuntu crashed, locked up yesterday, first time in a year or so after I put in two gig extra memory. | 18:56 |

| waseem | Hey guys, have ubuntu 11.04 Installed on my vaio with ATI mobility x 2300, I would use a tutorial to install the open source driver for it restart, It would load 1 time out of 20, Any idea why this is happening?,other thing I can't shutdown my system normally I would have to use the shutdown button to force it to shutdown. Any Idea too? | 19:06 |

| RestlessCod3r | Hi, so I have ubuntu 11.04 32bit, and I want to upgrade it to 64bit. Can I do this without a cd/usb drive?? | 19:09 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, you need to fresh install somehow | 19:09 |
| orated | ! | 19:09 |
| RestlessCod3r | zykotick9: Ok, an dhow about this, I have 4.5GB ram installed on my comp, and it oly detects 3.5 | 19:10 |
| glebihan | orated, then if your wireless card allows it, you should be able to do it by right-clicking on the network-manager icon and selecting "create new wireless network" | 19:10 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, you're using 32bit | 19:10 |
| RestlessCod3r | zykotick9: yeah, but it should be able to detect at least 4 | 19:10 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, it's memory minus 1GB with PAE | 19:11 |
| yokahu | greetings and salutations | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, plus PAE is 3-6% slower all the time, install 64bit is best suggestion | 19:11 |
| RestlessCod3r | zykotick9: Ok, so how do I upgrade to 64bit without a cd/usb drive?? | 19:11 |
| yokahu | have acer aspire 2quqdcoreintelQ8300 | 19:11 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, ? but you have to fresh install somehow | 19:11 |
| RestlessCod3r | zykotick9: but I dont have a usb drive, and my CD drive doesnt work | 19:12 |
| yokahu | dual boot system win7 /ubuntu 11.10 | 19:12 |
| RestlessCod3r | usb key, that is | 19:12 |
| RestlessCod3r | brb | 19:12 |
| gigitux | good | 19:12 |
| yokahu | got hacked trojan in windows sector | 19:12 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, the likely answer is YOU can't (network boot is theoretically possible, but WAY non-trivial. AND you'd need a second box to act as a server) | 19:13 |
| yokahu | im tying to use DBAN to wipe hdd security erase but dont mork | 19:13 |
| Wulf | network boot is not that hard. | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !dontwork | 19:14 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 19:14 |
| yokahu | get error/dev/sda -sdc process crash | 19:14 |
| zykotick9 | Wulf, i did carefully use the term "non-trivial" | 19:14 |
| yokahu | how can i security rrase all hdd? | 19:14 |
| Wulf | yokahu: what is your native language? | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: id just use dd. and zero them out, or use /dev/random or somthing and then reformat.. | 19:15 |
| yokahu | englich/spanish | 19:15 |
| yokahu | typos | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !info dban | 19:18 |

| grey__ | hi there; I installed Windows 7 on a Ubuntu machine and now Ubunutu 10.10 is missing in bootloader; how to fix it? | 19:21 |
| zykotick9 | !grub | 19:21 |
| Wulf | grey__: reinstall grub | 19:21 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | 19:21 |
| Wulf | grey__: and next time, install windoze first (or not at all) | 19:21 |
| glebihan | grey__, boot from a live cd a reinstall grub from there, see ubottu's message | 19:21 |
| yokahu | Dr. Willis what i am trying to do is a security erase then reinstall win7 and ubuntu | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | or make a flash drive with a grub-rescue boot of the system :) on the mbr. | 19:22 |
| jenk | How do I schedule the computer to shut down after an update ? | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: why does it matter if you securely erase them? installing the os's will repartition/reformat.. | 19:22 |
| grey__ | Ok; I will try ubottu 's link now | 19:22 |
| gigitux | hello | 19:22 |
| glebihan | jenk, you mean after running "apt-get upgrade" ? | 19:23 |
| zykotick9 | jenk, from command line you could use "sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get shutdown -h now" but it won't shutdown if the upgrade fails, or if the upgrade takes more then 15 minutes :| | 19:23 |
| zykotick9 | jenk, sorry typo "sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo shutdown -h now" | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | you could use shutdown to schedule a shutdown in an hr.. then do the update./upgrade :) | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | and hope it dosent take an hr... | 19:23 |
| Wulf | sudo 'apt-get upgrade; shutdown -h now' | 19:24 |
| jenk | glebihan, If there is an alternative that works, I don't mind. | 19:24 |
| rww | Dr_Willis: and hope debconf doesn't prompt you about anything... | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | rww: yep. | 19:24 |
| Wulf | but upgrades often ask the user stuff, so an automatic shutdown might not be good | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I agree with Wulf | 19:24 |
| qin | Wulf: apt-get upgrade -y | 19:24 |
| Dr_Willis | theres some way to have automated updates.. but i rarely do it. | 19:24 |
| Wulf | qin: sounds dangerious | 19:25 |
| Dr_Willis | the weekly update/upgrade works for me. | 19:25 |
| Wulf | -i | 19:25 |
| glebihan | jenk, well several already said, I wouldn't advice that as there can be prompts during the upgrade | 19:25 |
| jenk | zykotick9, It might take more time. | 19:25 |
| jenk | glebihan, Assuming that there are none ? | 19:25 |
| yokahu | Dr Willis what are the chances of a rootkit or malware still reside in hdd if ki do not seccurity errase ? Like i just reinstalled win7 and ubuntu but did not security errase | 19:25 |
| glebihan | jenk, if you will really want to do it, first do "sudo -i" then "sudo apt-get-upgrade && shutdown now" | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought the shutdown process had some sort of 'checking for ongoing update/upgrades' feature also. | 19:26 |
| Whabo | Guys... Is it possible to watch netflicks? | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: i doubt if any will stay around | 19:26 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, you won't need that "sudo for apt-get..." after a "sudo -i" | 19:26 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: zero out the drive with dd, if you want to be sure, then repartition, reformat | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | but thats being paranoid yokahu | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !rootkit | 19:27 |
| xplo | is 9.04 still supported here ? | 19:27 |
| jenk | Dr_Willis, Wulf, Can I call a script to execute after an update ? And that script is a shutdown script ! | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !9.04 | 19:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 19:27 |
| yokahu | Dr willis please what is dd? Thanks ! | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !dd | 19:27 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: dd is a shell command. | 19:28 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, you're right... so used to sudo... | 19:28 |
| xplo | the thing Dr_Willis is, if i update to the latest, my WIFI Usb Stick will not work anymore... | 19:28 |
| xplo | unless you can prove me otherwise. | 19:28 |
| qin | zykotick9: Is it not that apt-get updrade stops showdown? | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: not my job to prove anything.. go get a live cd and see for yourself. | 19:28 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: if it used to work and faile.. check the bug reports and file a bug if none exist. | 19:28 |
| zykotick9 | qin, how could it? the shutdown command is started after apt-get finishes? in my suggestion anyway. | 19:29 |
| xplo | i guess ill install backtrack then | 19:29 |
| yokahu | Dr. willis were do i execute that comand and how would it be so i can do it? | 19:29 |
| mbrigdan | Hello! I need some help. I want to back up my encrypted home directory using rsync, but I want to make sure that it only backs up the encrypted data (not my unencrypted home). How can I do this? | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: do what you want. | 19:29 |
| Whabo | I hate where ubuntu is heading | 19:29 |
| Dr_Willis | yokahu: to be honest with you. Iimagine just repartioning and reformating is enough. | 19:29 |
| xplo | Dr_Willis go have a smoke/coffee/sex or something, no need to be this arsh.. *sheesh* | 19:30 |
| lion42 | Whabo, take it to #whine | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: given the lack of details you have shown. all i can say is try a new live cd and see... | 19:30 |
| xplo | another douche.. wow. | 19:30 |
| uns0b1ll | i lost my 1920x1680 resolution on xubuntu :(( | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: you asked how to prove it worked.. i gave an answer.. | 19:30 |
| uns0b1ll | it worked before reboot... so odd | 19:31 |
| xplo | well Dr_Willis, i tried to pass an order yesterday for 5 cds of 11.04 for 5$ but it failed.. | 19:31 |
| symaxian | With nautilus disabled and not rendering the desktop, are their any substitutes for the icons? | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | xplo: this channel has nothing to do with the ubuntu store. so cant help you there. | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | I alwyas get my cd;'s from cheapbytes.com | 19:31 |
| polah_ | In the 11.04 installer, how can I specify a mount point for a partition? I have an existing ext4 partition and when I attempt to define a mount point it doesn't let me type anything. | 19:32 |
| ParkerR | Is there a way to get the top volume control icon to use alsa and not pulseaudio? I have switched to alsa and that is now useless | 19:32 |
| xplo | cheapbytes.com | 19:32 |
| xplo | oups, wrong keyboard | 19:32 |
| Slart | symaxian: nautilus is responsible for rendering the icons, afaik. There are other systems for doing this in say KDE or similar.. anything special you're looking to do? | 19:32 |
| uns0b1ll | my display settings used to show 1920-1680 resolution... but not anymore... | 19:33 |
| uns0b1ll | perhaps drivers | 19:33 |
| GreekFreak | Hi, I am new to ubuntu and I am trying to install ruby on rails. Where do I add something to my $PATH? | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | polah_: if its not going to be a system type partition, i just edit the fstab after i boot the first time and add it to where it needs to go. | 19:33 |
| Slart | polah_: in the install program you should be able to use a partition as.. /usr or /home or whatever.. I don't remember the specifics but last time I used it I could specify it | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall setting my windows parittions to be in specific places also during the installer. | 19:34 |
| Slart | polah_: but as Dr_Willis pointed out.. if it's not something used by the system you could just as easily mount it after the install | 19:34 |
| symaxian | Slart: nothing special, just something interactive to fill the empty space on a desktop with just a wallpaper | 19:34 |
| EM03 | any amazon ec2 users around? | 19:34 |
| Slart | symaxian: you don't want to use nautilus? or it doesn't work for you? | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | symaxian, you could try "idesk - Program to show icons on the desktop" i used it YEARS ago with fluxbox | 19:34 |
| polah_ | Dr_Willis: Yes, I remember doing it last time I installed, but now it only lets me choose predefined locations like /, /home and suchlike. I guess I'll just have to do it later in my fstab | 19:34 |
| symaxian | going for compiz's wallpapering | 19:35 |
| uns0b1ll | i got nvidia driver activated but not currently in use ? | 19:35 |
| uns0b1ll | what.. | 19:35 |
| zykotick9 | Slart, to use fancy desktop stuff you sometimes need to disable nautilus' control of it, multiple backgrounds for instance | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | uns0b1ll: run nvidia-settings and seew what it says.. | 19:35 |
| Slart | zykotick9: ahh.. that makes sense, thanks =) | 19:35 |
| Dr_Willis | uns0b1ll: known bug where it IS in use.. but says its not | 19:35 |
| uns0b1ll | doh | 19:35 |

| Dr_Willis | OY1R: whats your video card/chip? | 19:37 |
| zykotick9 | RestlessCod3r, 3. PAE requires 1GB for kernel or something. I don't use PAE, i use 64bit - i consider PAE a dirty-"hack" | 19:37 |
| RestlessCod3r | zykotick9: ok, ill upgrade | 19:38 |

| cbhl | Shapeshifter: the iotop package...? | 19:49 |
| zykotick9 | Jasonn, did what? | 19:49 |
| adrenalink | I don't have a backup made by myself | 19:50 |

| zykotick9 | llutz, a link that was used during that conversation http://www.spack.org/wiki/LinuxRamLimits which include the quote "By default the kernel reserves 1GB for it's own use, however I think that this is a tunable parameter" - there seems to be an MS KB article about the same thing 3GB usable on 4GB systems. You could still be correct of course. | 19:50 |
| ParkerR | Anything? | 19:51 |
| m4v | adrenalink: there's nothing in your home that is critical to the system, that's how gnu/linux works. I did be more worried if I lost personal data like documents, pictures, etc | 19:51 |
| zykotick9 | Jasonn, i highly doubt it would boot. I don't know thought - best of luck. | 19:51 |

| zykotick9 | rww, i was certainly under the impression it was coming for sure, didn't know it was already there - thanks. | 19:52 |
| adrenalink | m4v: it is not so, because the shell promted me if I would erase Documents, pictures, video folders and I realize my mistake and stopped | 19:52 |
| llutz | zykotick9: afaik that changed with kernel 2.6, but theres still the limitation, that single processes cannot address more than 3GB-chunks | 19:53 |
| rww | zykotick9: yup, the daily ISOs and I think maybe the alpha3 ones do it if you want to try it out | 19:53 |
| adrenalink | (I created a "~" folder in "/" and I tried to erase with remove -r ~ instead of rm -r \~/ XD ) | 19:53 |

| qin | adrenalink: Most packages have default configs in /etc/ anyway. | 19:59 |
| amee2k | evening everyone | 19:59 |
| coz_ | Arney, I havent had the time recently to try and track this down,, I would certainly like to fix it though as well :( | 19:59 |
| guntbert | adrenalink: the security model under linux doesn't allow an ordinary user to do any harm to the system, so no need to reinstall | 19:59 |
| amee2k | i just installed the firefox update that came out a couple days ago (for 11.4) and now something with the color scheme is wrong | 20:00 |
| Tigerboy | Hi-- does anyone know how to resize the mouse cursor in KDE? | 20:00 |
| coz_ | Arney, like you I am guessing,, I like an immediate response with the terminal | 20:00 |
| amee2k | its getting some font colors wrong, among others rendering half the URL unreadable because of poor contrast. anyone else encountered this? | 20:00 |
| amee2k | or know how to fix it | 20:00 |
| guntbert | Tigerboy: if you don't get satisfying answers here, ask in #kubuntu | 20:00 |
| coz_ | Tigerboy, mm I have not tried to actually resize it,, I assume you already looked the settings...you may want to ask in both #kubuntu and #kde channels | 20:00 |
| guntbert | !enter | amee2k | 20:01 |
| ubottu | amee2k: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:01 |
| adrenalink | ok, THANKS EVERYBODY | 20:01 |
| Tigerboy | yes nothing in settings | 20:01 |
| Tigerboy | ta-- i tried kde but it is dead I will try kubuntu | 20:01 |

| gmachine_24 | Hi. I need a network monitoring package/program as I believe someone is using my wireless connection; i.e. one of my neighbors. I am running 11.04 on this computer and all notebooks run some version of Linux/Ubuntu; but even when all the notebooks are turned off it appears there is an active wireless connection transmitting through my cable modem. | 20:02 |
| amee2k | zykotick9: i'm on 64 bit, and it installs 10.3 for me. i didn't exactly go through an effort to get the latest version though because i don't really use it | 20:02 |
| qin | gmachine_24: Change password? | 20:02 |
| timcolo | hi can any one help me set up lirc for mceusb receiver? I cant get irw to display key presses, yes I have googled for few hours | 20:02 |
| zykotick9 | amee2k, thanks! well I finally got the answer, this was my 3rd or 4th time trying. | 20:02 |
| gmachine_24 | qin, yes, of course, I thought of this. But I'd like to know if someone has hacked the network. | 20:03 |
| amee2k | gmachine_24: check your router's admin page. with a little luck it has a list of all computers the DHCP gave IP addresses to | 20:03 |
| gmachine_24 | amee2k, good thinking. thanks. | 20:03 |
| amee2k | otherwise, "nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24" (substitute your network address and netmask) is probably worth a shot | 20:04 |
| qin | gmachine_24: airodump-ng is fast and precise enough to see wireless, plus you have aireplay to spoof intruder, and more tools to play, still WPA2 and change password on regular basis. | 20:04 |
| qin | gmachine_24: If your router support mac filtering, use it too. | 20:05 |
| gmachine_24 | qin, Ok, thanks. I actually rotate routers to get a new IP address every couple of days. | 20:05 |
| amee2k | or monitor the traffic with kismet. if you get lots of packets for your network, and all (legitimate) computers are turned off or not connected, it would be a hint | 20:05 |
| amee2k | mac filtering is mildly useless. once an attacker figures out whats going on he could just snif for an authorized MAC and use that once you're not using it anymore | 20:06 |
| qin | gmachine_24: ip and mac address are different things. | 20:07 |
| gmachine_24 | qin, yes, I know. | 20:07 |
| amee2k | so anyone else know anything about the font color problem in firefox? | 20:07 |
| marekw2143 | hi, I've installed sun-java6-jdk package - how can I see where are files created by installation of that package? | 20:08 |
| avi_ | i want to connect internet from my mobile help me ------Kubuntu 10.10 | 20:08 |
| amee2k | gmachine_24: you could check the admin interface. i've seen some routers (among others mine) that allow you to set a timeout on DHCP IP records | 20:08 |
| guntbert | amee2k: thx for the idea of using the CIDR syntax with nmap, I never thought of that - (sorry, no idea about the color problem :-)) | 20:09 |
| gmachine_24 | amee2k, OK. I know I can take care of this easily by changing passwords etc. but I was hoping to find out who has been connecting to my network. | 20:09 |
| amee2k | guntbert: yeah, i was kinda stunned when i realized it accepts that syntax too (fortunately i did so quite quickly) | 20:09 |
| gmachine_24 | anyway, thanks everyone for your help, as always. | 20:09 |

| ParkerR | Shwaiil, sudo killall notepad* maybe? | 20:17 |
| avi_ | Sorry | 20:18 |
| cbhl | Shwaiil: "sudo killall wine"? | 20:18 |
| afeder | Shwaiil: you can try ps -A for a list of processes | 20:18 |
| Shwaiil | ParkerR, tks for looking! Is there a book or good resource to learn all this commands on linux/ubuntu ? Like find something, find process, kill process, move files, etc ? | 20:18 |
| coz_ | maybe kill all wine ,,, although never tried that | 20:18 |
| ParkerR | Or use htop to see what is running and kill it | 20:18 |
| fr500 | avi_: doesn't it appear on the network connections button on the panel? | 20:18 |
| ParkerR | Shwaiil, did it work? | 20:18 |

| fr500 | Atahualpa: sudo su will give you a root shell | 20:20 |
| fr500 | !sudo | 20:20 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 20:20 |
| Shwaiil | ahh found the system monitor, this is like taskmanager on win | 20:20 |
| Shwaiil | ParkerR, tks | 20:20 |
| ignarps | Shwaiil, sudo xkill will let you point at any window to kill it. | 20:20 |
| Jef91 | Does Ubuntu no longer use the "/etc/X11/default-display-manager" file? | 20:20 |

| I_AM_IN_ROOT | fr500, I suddenly had a good idea, I needed to transfer 63gig of Star Trek TNG to my computer and I feel confident that this card supports gigabit because it is slated to finish in 36 minutes - thats roughly 30meg/sec | 20:47 |
| Corey | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Easier way to find that out is ethtool / ifconfig. :-) | 20:47 |

| avi_ | i want to connect internet from my mobile broadband on computer i want procedure to connect | 20:48 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | Corey - that is what I was originally going to do but I needed these files on my side so why not kill two birds with one stone | 20:48 |
| ParkerR | yeats, I saw that. He just removes indicator-sound but doesnt use a replacement | 20:48 |
| avi_ | i want to connect internet from my mobile broadband on computer i want procedure to connect | 20:49 |
| Corey | I_AM_IN_ROOT: "ethtool eth0" isn't that hard. :-) | 20:49 |
| yeats | ParkerR: I was thinking of the PPA he mentions - with it you can add "Volume Control" back to the panel (removing indicator-sound optional) | 20:49 |
| ParkerR | Oh | 20:49 |
| ParkerR | Hmm | 20:49 |

| I_AM_IN_ROOT | Corey - I didn't say it was but why should I bother with all that when I will have my answer while accomplishing something I needed to get done? | 20:50 |
| yeats | ParkerR: that's what I did on a previous install (living with PulseAudio now ;-) ) | 20:50 |
| Corey | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Because depending upon caching /rsync settings, you won't get an accurate result in many cases? :-) | 20:50 |
| ParkerR | yeats, yeah I couldnt get it going with a USB headet | 20:50 |
| yeats | ParkerR: ah.. I had issues making that work too - never did investigate deeply enough ;-) | 20:51 |
| Corey | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Resuming a partial transfer, I get 40MB/sec, going across a 20mbit link. :-) | 20:51 |
| ParkerR | SO I just made a .asoundrc file that made the USB default | 20:52 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | Corey - well I can assure you that 30meg/sec is NOT 100Mbit so I feel pretty confident that my solution worked, it is not as if I need to know the speed of network cards on a daily basis | 20:52 |

| I_AM_IN_ROOT | avi_ what kind of card is used for your mobile broadband? | 20:52 |

| sjohnson | hi. i want to upgrade autoconf using apt-get, but it's telling me my version is already fine. how do most ubuntu users deal with this? i don't want to compile it from source and 'make install' it because then it will be messy. what to do? | 21:11 |
| boni | hey folks!I have a new aspire 5750G and want to activate the nvidia graphics card.How can I see whether it is successfully activated? | 21:12 |

| mc_teo | i am using ubuntu 11.04, and it tends to freeze, leaving the mouse free, like every time i close the lid on the laptop, is there anything i can check to see what could be the problem? | 21:13 |

| timcolo | been at this for a while now can any one help me with lirc I cant see button presses on irw | 21:13 |
| glebihan | sjohnson, keep this version, look for a ppa with a more recent version, or compile from source | 21:13 |
| aaas | glebihan: I'm assuming the default linux is to overwrite and ubuntu adds the '-i' flag | 21:13 |
| sjohnson | glebihan: someone suggested i upgraded ubuntu to be able to "see" the newer packages. is this a good or bad idea? | 21:14 |

| Dr_Willis | lonewulf`: depends on your video card/chipset also. | 21:22 |

| Dr_Willis | lonewulf`: i dont use ati at all. If the fglrx drivers DONT support your card.. then it dosent support it... You will be stuck using the open sourced drivers | 21:25 |
| Terbaddo_ | @Kre10s Afaik you can build an APT repo in FTP | 21:25 |

| kingofswords | hi what is xorg and how to i update/upgrade it/ | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | evan_: should work fine | 21:28 |
| Dr_Willis | !X | 21:28 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 21:28 |
| glebihan | evan_, it is possible, you'll have to reinstall grub afterwards thougu | 21:28 |

| avi_ | ok | 21:29 |
| kingofswords | oh yeh i see | 21:29 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: read wht ubottu said just 3 lines above..... | 21:29 |
| evan_ | Dr_Willis I use gparted to make 50gb of unallocated space but when I tried to install windows 7 on it, it says that all the primary partitions were used | 21:29 |

| MACscr|tmp | whats the fastest way to merge two directories on the same partition? Got a path wrong in an rsync and got a lot of duplicates. Its about 800gb of data | 21:29 |
| lonewulf` | Dr_Willis, would this -> sudo apt-get install fglrx tell me if my card is supported? | 21:29 |
| kingofswords | yeh just saw it thx.... is it easy to upgrade it? im 1.75 but want 1.8 | 21:29 |
| avi_ | thank you friends , gn. | 21:30 |
| Dr_Willis | evan_: perhps ask in windows it may be a quirk of the installer.. you could pastebin the output of fdisk -l for us. Ubuntu does NOT need to be on primary partitions. | 21:30 |
| === imen is now known as Nour_al_imen | ||

| kingofswords | Dr_Willis, because i have a game running in wine that lags and audio out of sync and read on wineapp that xorg 1.8 fixes this problem | 21:31 |

| Dr_Willis | evan_: you have 4 primary partitiosn on sda. and 1 on sdb - so what was the actual issue? | 21:39 |

| Kre10s | rww, thank you! | 21:40 |

| sjohnson | hi. I have ubuntu 9.10. I want to upgrade GNU screen, but apt-get says it's already up to date. I don't want to compile it by hand because I don't want to screw up the track record aptitude has kept thus far. what do people usually do in this scenario? | 21:40 |

| glebihan | sjohnson, if you want to use more recent version than the ones in the repositories, the best way is usually to use a ppa, but be careful cause those aren't officially supported | 21:44 |
| sjohnson | Personal Package Archive? | 21:45 |
| glebihan | sjohnson, yes | 21:45 |
| sjohnson | would it also work if i hypothetically upgraded to a newer version of ubuntu? | 21:45 |
| sjohnson | (albeit probably a much longer way) | 21:45 |
| glebihan | sjohnson, well you would probably get a newer version but rarely the latest (ubuntu doesn't come with a lot of lastests versions, for stability's sake) | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | sjohnson, FYI 9.10 is no longer supported you SHOULD upgrade see !eol | 21:46 |
| sjohnson | ah, okay | 21:47 |
| sjohnson | i just wasn't sure if it was a good tip when someone told me to upgrade ubuntu | 21:47 |
| sjohnson | !eol | 21:47 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 21:47 |
| zykotick9 | sjohnson, personally i think trying to update Ubuntu to a new version is a bad idea, but that's only me. | 21:47 |
| sjohnson | yeah i don't imagine i'll be doing it | 21:48 |
| sjohnson | zykotick9: would you then try the PPA idea? | 21:48 |
| sjohnson | other than ./configure && make && make install, what options would I have? | 21:48 |
| zykotick9 | sjohnson, your unlikely to find PPAs for 9.10 software I imagine | 21:48 |
| sjohnson | zykotick9: let me rephrase that. if you were in my shoes, and you had 9.10, and you wanted to get gnu screen to update to something a bit newer (doesn't have to be the latest), what would you do? | 21:49 |
| zykotick9 | sjohnson, but the ubuntu version you are using IS an issue. | 21:49 |
| rypervenche | sjohnson: Use checkinstall instead of make install, makes a deb package for you for easy clean-up :) | 21:49 |
| sjohnson | yeah, that's more along the lines of something that would be nice | 21:49 |
| glebihan | sjohnson, zykotick9 I think you're misunderstanding each other, if I'm getting it right zykotick9 was suggesting a fresh install | 21:49 |
| sjohnson | zykotick9: pretend that 9.10 is not old, in hypothetical land | 21:49 |
| zykotick9 | sjohnson, you aren't getting security updates! end of story | 21:50 |

| evan_ | Dr_Willis, is there anyway to change them? | 21:59 |

| sjohnson | that's the key issue | 22:06 |
| Guest25825 | Dr_willis : that starts my server settings program for nvidia but thats it | 22:06 |

| anethema | it claims its 4.0.3 | 22:14 |

| HeGuru | Blinny: you can use openvpn to do this quite easily, if you want to stick to L2TP then strongswan is much improved and better documented | 23:00 |
| Blinny | HeGuru: Can openvpn do endpoint<->subnet and endpoint<->endpoint as well as subnet<->subnet ? | 23:01 |
| === niekie_ is now known as niekie | ||
| HeGuru | Blinny: yes openvpn can do host-host, host-lan and lan-lan | 23:02 |
| Blinny | HeGuru: In this instance, each remote subnet has its own private block (192.168.0.0/24, 192.168.1.0/24 etc) | 23:02 |
| Blinny | HeGuru: After two days of silence from #openswan I will give this a whirl. Thank you. | 23:02 |
| HeGuru | Blinny: you need to create one openvpn server and push the lan route to the client this will allow client-lan. for Lan-Lan you have to create a CCD file for the routes on the remote lan. Google for OpenVPN CCD | 23:03 |

| Lafiir | Doesn't it update automatically? | 23:06 |
| hatch | Lafiir: only to 3.6.* | 23:06 |
| th0r | hatch: I never understood the problem here. Download the firefox tar.gz from mozilla.com, untar it to /opt/firefox, and create a link from /opt/firefox/firefox to /usr/local/bin. | 23:08 |
| hatch | th0r: that just opens up the current 3.6 version | 23:08 |
| HeGuru | hatch: or better use the firefox stable PPA | 23:08 |
| th0r | hatch: uninstall the 3.6 version, or start firefox with /usr/local/bin/firefox | 23:08 |
| === Monster is now known as monsterwizard | ||
| MarshmallowGoat | @hatch I agree use stable firefox PPA and you'll get it | 23:09 |
| Lafiir | PPA will most likely work (if you can find it, I only found the Thunderbird once per accident) | 23:09 |
| th0r | Lafiir: you can use the exact same process for thunderbird. Updating either is simply a matter of untar-ring the new version to /opt/firefox (thunderbird), you don't even have to create a new link for an upgrade | 23:10 |
| WHAT_UP | how would i fix the bootloader after (unfortunately) installing vista on a partition? | 23:10 |

| HeGuru | !vista | WHAT_UP | 23:11 |
| ubottu | WHAT_UP: vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 23:11 |
| z0x1c | hatch: "sudo aptitude update" then "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 23:11 |
| urlin2u | WHAT_UP, grub2? | 23:11 |
| WHAT_UP | urlin2u: yes. would the ubuntu cd be able to just restore the bootloader without actually writing to a new partition? | 23:11 |
| urlin2u | WHAT_UP, yes which cd and install do you have? | 23:12 |
| hatch | z0x1c: looks like its working - thanks all :) I didn't know about this PPA for firefox | 23:12 |
| WHAT_UP | urlin2u: well, right now i have 4.10, but i'll probably just burn a more recent one ;) | 23:12 |
| urlin2u | WHAT_UP, how did you install the linux and what is it=release? | 23:13 |
| HeGuru | !recoveringgrub | WHAT_UP | 23:13 |
| ubottu | WHAT_UP: 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) | 23:13 |
| z0x1c | hatch: You might consider the beta as well ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next. FF7 RAM use is *much* lower. And features receive 3 months of testing before they reach Firefox Beta. | 23:14 |
| hugenumber | Anyone know how to log the DAAP activity on Rhythmbox? | 23:14 |

| ParkerR | redboat, why are you repeating me? | 23:23 |
| nuborn | my laptop has a key combination to turn down screen backlight (fn-f5). is there a way to map this to a mouse button, without knowing exact what command is triggered? (I do not even know if there is a system command related to that) Like, can I map the mouse button to trigger a key input of "fn-f5"? Or any other suggestions? | 23:25 |

| me-alone | hi...how can i get gnome 3 for ubuntu 11.04..? | 23:27 |
| redboat | Oh ok htanks | 23:27 |
| wildbat | !gnome3 | me-alone | 23:27 |
| bazhang | !gnome3 | me-alone | 23:27 |
| ubottu | me-alone: 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. | 23:27 |
| bazhang | me-alone, not supported, breaks things, not downgrade-able | 23:28 |

| qwaz | does anyone know the backtrack linux irc channel? :) | 23:32 |
| Dr_Willis | !backtrack | 23:32 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 23:32 |
| qwaz | Hmm that can't be the official one theres only one person in there | 23:33 |

| uns0b1ll | how to move cube in compiz ? | 23:47 |
| uns0b1ll | and wheres fire burning effect ? | 23:47 |
| nuborn | rephrasing my question: Is there a way to see what output (or command) a certain key input triggers - when it is not registered by xev (or X input, it seems)? I'm wondering how "fn-f5" works on my laptop (it turns down screen brightness, and works perfectly well), and how I potentially can map this action to other inputs. I don't know where to look, or start looking (since programs for detecting inputs, i.e. xev, can't tell about it) | 23:48 |
| ParkerR | nuborn, usually that key combo is a motherboard feature | 23:48 |
| th0r | nuborn: those fn keys are probably a function of the bios and not even visible to the kernel | 23:49 |
| ParkerR | th0r, exactly | 23:49 |
| nuborn | ParkerR: thanks, that is sort of what I was looking for. Should I search the internet for those keywords, or are there particular things I should look for? | 23:49 |
| ParkerR | Umm well Ubuntu does know that the brightness changes | 23:50 |
| ParkerR | It has the OSD when I change mine | 23:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | same here. | 23:51 |
| ParkerR | nuborn, go to System > Preference > Power management | 23:51 |
| ParkerR | There is a brightness slider | 23:51 |
| ParkerR | That may help you go in a direction | 23:51 |
| nuborn | ParkerR: Oh thanks, yes, I didn't know about that | 23:52 |
