| bambanx | i can run tipyng on console editra, how can i do a shortcut? | 00:05 |
| Socky_ | dan@caffeine:~/.goldenpod$ set PATH=$PATH;/home/dan/.local/bin/ | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I thought it was alt-shift drag the mouse around or the arrow keys | 00:05 |
| Socky_ | -bash: /home/dan/.local/bin/: is a directory | 00:05 |
| Socky_ | how do i add that to my path? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Socky_: if you put stuff in /home/usernam/bin it will be auto added to the path | 00:06 |
| Quantum_Ion | your path is in .profile or the system wide path is in /etc/profile | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Socky_: edit your .bashrc or .profile to add other stuff to the path | 00:06 |

| tim167 | hi, can someone help me mount or repair a partition? | 00:08 |
| Quantum_Ion | Dr_Willis_, That rotating CUBE gimmick is just that a gimmick/eye candy really not much use for that kind of stuff | 00:08 |
| Quantum_Ion | tim167, What are you trying to do ? | 00:08 |
| Jasonn | and I have more than enough CPU power to run it, as well as ram | 00:08 |
| Jasonn | I have a problem with nautilus. It keeps freezing | 00:08 |
| Jasonn | and I have more than enough CPU power to run it, as well as ram | 00:08 |
| Jasonn | ^^ sorry for repeat | 00:09 |
| tim167 | Quantum_Ion: i get 'you must specify a filesystem type' but when i try -t ext3 or -t ext4 it gives: "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3" | 00:09 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, uninstall nautilus and reinstall it using the Synaptic Package manager | 00:09 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: Can I do it through terminal?? | 00:09 |
| lwizardl | is there a way to stop external devices from having a hidden trash folder ? | 00:09 |
| tim167 | Quantum_Ion: it's a disk that won't boot anymore, and i now try to mount it on another machine, but it won't... | 00:09 |
| Jasonn | lwizardl: Nope, | 00:10 |
| tim167 | Quantum_Ion: there are other partitions on the disk that are ok... | 00:10 |
| Jasonn | lwizardl: But you can delete the whole folder | 00:10 |
| Quantum_Ion | tim167, What operating system was on the disk before ? | 00:10 |
| Jasonn | if it gets cluttered | 00:10 |
| notica | how do i fix the video card to a netbook =) | 00:10 |
| tim167 | Quantum_Ion: ubuntu 10.10 i believe | 00:10 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: Can I do it through terminal?? | 00:10 |
| glebihan | Jasonn, sure you can | 00:11 |
| Jasonn | notica: Whats wrong with it? | 00:11 |
| auero | Would anyone know why ubuntu/samba isn't showing large files I have shared? 10gb are fine but 25gb are invisible | 00:11 |
| Jasonn | glebihan: Thanks :) | 00:11 |
| notica | when i connect my 22" screen i cant get more then 800x600 res | 00:11 |
| tp43 | my laptop dvd burner is broken I think, cause I can't boot from it, and all cd's show up as blank | 00:12 |
| Jasonn | notica: Do you know if the drivers are installed?? | 00:12 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Did you have Grub2 installed on the hard disk ? | 00:12 |
| glebihan | tim167, what does "sudo blkid" show as file system type for that partition | 00:12 |
| === quem_ is now known as quem | ||
| notica | no | 00:12 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: nope | 00:12 |
| Jasonn | notica: Go to the top right corner of your screen, and click on the power icon. Select from the list system settings, afterwhich, go to additional drivers. | 00:13 |
| Jasonn | notica: If you are missing anything, it will show up there, it might take like 10 mins to load up for the first time though | 00:13 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, You might need a partition tool like Gparted to fix that issue -> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php | 00:14 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: Available from the repos?? | 00:14 |
| kroq-gar78 | notica: that might be because it's trying to mirror the images on both the netbook and monitor, so it chose a common resolution. | 00:14 |
| glebihan | Jasonn, Quantum_Ion was gonna say, gparted is in the repos | 00:15 |
| Jasonn | ok, ill get it now | 00:15 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Or http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/ just becareful screwing around with your partitions and your tools | 00:16 |
| ZombieRamen | i'm having a problem where glc isn't encoding glc videos properly | 00:16 |
| Jasonn | ill go with the gparted | 00:16 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: So what exactly does it do? | 00:16 |
| ZombieRamen | it's just stopping in the middle of encoding, only outputting a small amount of the video to a compressed file | 00:16 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, It reads and writes filesystem partitions like NTFS, MSDOS, EXT3, EXT4 and UFS | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | Jasonn: What are you trying to accomplish? | 00:17 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: For nautilus not to take hours, or successfully open | 00:17 |
| Jasonn | not to take hours to, or successfully open * | 00:18 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, If that doesn't work your hard disk could be corrupted bad sectors, etc | 00:18 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: The prog doesnt even open a window when I click on it. All other progs are working though | 00:18 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Some hard disks fail after 5 -7 years of rough use | 00:19 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: this one is 1 year old | 00:19 |
| Jasonn | and it was working | 00:19 |
| Jasonn | like 2 days ago | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | Jasonn: Quantum_Ion: If you want to check your disk for hardware problems Palimpsest ( "Disk Utility" ) will show you the SMART data from the drive. | 00:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Then you probably need to rewrite the EXT3 or EXT 4 partition using Gparted or Partition Magic | 00:19 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, More then likely you will lose the data in that partition | 00:20 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Ok, and is that a prog, or something I boot into | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | Jasonn: That is a program, which comes with Ubuntu by default. | 00:20 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Ok | 00:20 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Disk is healthty, running surface tests now | 00:21 |
| ninjajoe | hi | 00:22 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Powered on: 2.4 Years <- lol | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | Quantum_Ion: If it's just a filesystem problem then it can probably be fixed with fsck. If it's a hardware problem then the drive should probably simply be discarded. I don't see much use in "rewriting" partitions. | 00:22 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Ok, what am I looking for here?? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | Jasonn: Any warnings. | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | Jasonn: But it sounds like the hardware is fine | 00:24 |
| Jasonn | none at all | 00:24 |
| Jasonn | yeah | 00:24 |
| Jasonn | I ran a test aswell | 00:24 |
| Jasonn | Jordan_U: Now my external HDD has a few bad sectors, how do I fix that | 00:25 |

| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: And how do I fix bad sectors? (its on my external drive) | 00:29 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Use Synaptic Package Manager to install Dolphin, file manager on your Ubuntu Linux system | 00:29 |
| kroq-gar78 | how do I undo what I did with "patch"? I did patch --help but it yielded no results (unless I skipped over something). Can someone help me? | 00:30 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: I prefer to install/rm files with terminal :) | 00:30 |
| Jasonn | programs ** | 00:30 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Did you try running fdisk on your external drive | 00:30 |
| glebihan | Jasonn, I wouldn't do with dolphin on a gnome or unity desktop environment | 00:31 |
| glebihan | *wouldn't go* | 00:31 |
| Jasonn | glebihan: Im not, im doing it with pcmanfx | 00:31 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: I ran disk utility on it | 00:31 |

| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Do you have ALSA installed ? | 00:34 |

| nuno_nunes | Hi | 00:38 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, did you try not using a pipe in that command ? | 00:38 |
| thomas__ | anyone experience video performance issues on a notebook? | 00:38 |
| Pici | raven: if you plan on using zsh full-time, use chsh | 00:38 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, You can upgrade ALSA by following this easy document -> http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2010/05/02/upgrade-alsa-1-0-23-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10-04/ | 00:38 |
| Jasonn | !anyone | thomas__ | 00:38 |
| ubottu | thomas__: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 00:39 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: I've tried glc-play, and the video seems to be playing fine. | 00:39 |
| raven | Pici, i did but no effect chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh $USER | 00:39 |
| nuno_nunes | Plz help to configure to dosemu | 00:39 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, just make corrections I think the ALSA version is 24 now | 00:39 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: YESH! Easy documents, easy for my brain size :) | 00:39 |
| Pici | raven: due to the way that gnome-terminal executes, you'll need to relogin to gnome for it to take effect. | 00:39 |
| thomas__ | I need some guidance with video performance and dont know where to look | 00:39 |
| raven | Pici, oh ok | 00:39 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, Good Luck I upgraded ALSA following those instructions it was real easy but takes a while to download all the software to build ALSA | 00:40 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, but did you try splitting the command in 2 parts, the glc-play one and then the ffmpeg one, removing the pipe ? | 00:40 |
| Jasonn | Quantum_Ion: lol, just noticed that. Queue: 423MB this should be fin | 00:40 |
| Jasonn | fun * | 00:40 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: i just tried doing that, and it seems to be outputting the uncompressed file ok | 00:41 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: the original file is 70GB, though - won't it take a while this way? | 00:41 |
| Quantum_Ion | Jasonn, It took me like an hour an hour an half to download all those utilities to rebuild ALSA, but the upgrade fixed my sound problem on Ubuntu Linux | 00:42 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, well it'll sure take some time... | 00:42 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, but I don't think that using a pipe can work, because if ffmpeg runs faster than glc-play and runs out of data, it will stop before the end | 00:43 |
| thomas__ | Since installing Ubuntu on my notebook the video performance is very sluggish, as if it doesn't have a proper video driver | 00:43 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: i've encoded successfully before using that command on this install | 00:43 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: and i tried making a shorter file, and it had the same problem as the longer one | 00:43 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, I think it might be because of Unity | 00:43 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, A lot of people have been complaining about Unity | 00:44 |
| WinCamXP | hello | 00:44 |
| thomas__ | Thank you, that give me a starting point to start troubshooting | 00:44 |
| thomas__ | has anyone had a solution to the Unity problem? | 00:45 |
| WinCamXP | my sister has a toshiba NB505 netbook.....would ubuntu netbook edition be compatible with it? what hardware is/isn't supported? | 00:45 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, What distro of Ubuntu Linux are you running ? | 00:45 |
| thomas__ | 1104 | 00:45 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, well it can depend on a lot of things (video format, quality...). btw did you notice that the command you've shown encodes with a 200kb bitrate ? | 00:45 |
| zykotick9 | Quantum_Ion, "what version of ubuntu are you running" or "what distro of gnu/linux are you using" | 00:46 |
| miketomdool | you can use regular gnome | 00:46 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: no, i just use that command because it's the only one i know that works. is there a problem with it being 200kb? | 00:46 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, I run Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS I have not touched 11.04 and won't upgrade until another LTS release of Ubuntu Linux | 00:46 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, well it's very bad quality | 00:46 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: how can i change that? | 00:46 |
| WinCamXP | How well is the Toshiba NB505 netbook supported by Ubuntu Netbook? | 00:46 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, But I have heard a lot of people who are running 11.04 complain about hardware slowdown running Unity – A Modern Lightweight Desktop For Ubuntu [Linux] | 00:47 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, use the -b option with ffmpeg | 00:47 |
| thomas__ | Quantum_Ion, maybe I should do that as it was a problem with the release before that also | 00:47 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, eg ffmpeg -b 1200k | 00:47 |
| thomas__ | I was hoping that this release would fix it | 00:47 |
| ZombieRamen | like this? glc-play video -y 1 -o - | ffmpeg -i -b - -sameq test.avi | 00:47 |
| ZombieRamen | oh | 00:47 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, The LTS releases of Ubuntu Linux just seem more stable to me,however other people might think differently | 00:48 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, the full command would be "glc-play video -y 1 -o - | ffmpeg -b 1200k -i - -sameq test.avi" | 00:48 |
| bbbbbbbb | my hp notebook's fn keys are reversed, so that i need to press i.e. fn+f2 to get the usual f2 result. how do i fix this | 00:48 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, 1200 is just an example, adjust it to the quality you want | 00:48 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: how do i know which quality i want to use? | 00:49 |
| notica | im bac | 00:49 |
| thomas__ | Quantum_Ion, Sure I prefer stability over new, I just wanted to make sure I was not missing something | 00:49 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, the best way is probably to run some tests and see what fits your needs | 00:49 |
| notica | and thanks, its works now | 00:49 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, Not really nothing really radical as far as I can see | 00:50 |
| WinCamXP | How well does 11.04 netbook edition support the Toshiba NB505? | 00:50 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, They just need time to work out all the bugs in those new releases of Ubuntu Linux | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I dident think there was a 11.04 netbook edition.... | 00:50 |
| thomas__ | Quantum_Ion, Thank you for your input | 00:50 |
| Quantum_Ion | thomas__, np, just my humble opinion | 00:50 |
| thomas__ | Quantum_Ion, you have been very helpful | 00:51 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, as a reference, DVD quality is about 2000k | 00:51 |
| WinCamXP | well, what ubuntu OS would be best for a 9-yr-old girl's netbook? | 00:51 |
| glebihan | WinCamXP, doesn't answer your question, but so you know, starting from version 11.04 there is no separate netbook version anymore | 00:52 |
| WinCamXP | ahhhhh. | 00:52 |
| WinCamXP | That probably has to do with merging Unity into the mainstream version, right? | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | WinCamXP: for an old old machine - perhaps lubuntu | 00:52 |
| glebihan | WinCamXP, that's right | 00:52 |
| WinCamXP | it's actually a relatively new machine | 00:52 |
| escott | WinCamXP, unity (which was the netbook ui) was merged into the main release in 11.04 so 11.04 should be fine for your netbook, but there is not specific netbook version | 00:52 |
| WinCamXP | it had win 7 starter preinstalled | 00:52 |
| Dr_Willis_ | WinCamXP: normal ubuntu should work fine then | 00:53 |
| glebihan | Dr_Willis_, the girl is 9 years old, not the computer :) | 00:53 |
| WinCamXP | are there any hardware issues or something with this model though? | 00:53 |
| WinCamXP | i do have ethernet cables if i need them | 00:53 |
| Dr_Willis_ | glebihan: i have to wonder why the gender matters :) need a pink theme by default? | 00:53 |
| WinCamXP | well we can work out the themes if it works | 00:53 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: is there a way to get the pipe to work again, or am i going to have to encode an uncompressed file every time? | 00:54 |
| bbbbbbbb | my keyboards f-keys are reversed, i.e. to get f11 i have to press fn+f11 - any solution how to change this? | 00:54 |
| WinCamXP | hmm, supposedly this person installed 10.10 on a toshiba netbook, had to use 3 lines of terminal commands for the wifi but worked great after that | 00:55 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, well maybe it could work once you add the bitrate parameter to ffmpeg (ffmpeg should be a little slower) | 00:55 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, otherwise I have no idea how it could work | 00:55 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: then how did it work before? | 00:55 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis_, i don't think JBL is for young boys. http://biebian.sourceforge.net/ ;) | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis_ | bbbbbbbb: last keyboard i had that worked that way. I recall having to redo the keymap. but i ended up toss ing tghe keyboard. | 00:55 |
| WinCamXP | can somebody help me look to see if there's any compatibility issues with the toshiba NB505? | 00:55 |
| WinCamXP | for example, touchpad/wifi drivers? | 00:56 |
| WinCamXP | we do have USB mice which are sure to work, but still.......any known drver issues? | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis_ | WinCamXP: check th forums and askubuntu.com test with a live cd.. | 00:56 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, that I don't know... | 00:57 |
| kroq-gar78 | Dr_Willis_: You mean live USB? :P | 00:57 |
| bbbbbbbb | Dr_Willis_: well, i can't toss the keyboard cause its built into my new notebook i intend to keep for a while... | 00:57 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, all I'm saying is that it's likely not to work every time | 00:57 |
| WinCamXP | how big is the ubuntu iso? | 00:57 |
| WinCamXP | i have a couple 2gb flash drives | 00:58 |
| nukedeath | hmmm | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis_ | bbbbbbbb: check the bios, check the forums perhaps. laptops and ubuntu's - it have some switch somewhere.. | 00:58 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: so i have to basically double the filesize every time i want to compress a video, at least temporarily? | 00:58 |
| stercor | Where to ask Evolution Mail setup questions? | 00:58 |
| WinCamXP | well this is the ubuntu support channel | 00:58 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, well, that's what I would do anyway, but maybe somebody else can point you to a better solution | 00:59 |
| WinCamXP | make sure to go to your email provider's website and look for pop3/imap server addresses (preferrably imap) | 00:59 |
| bbbbbbbb | Dr_Willis_: seems to be configurable in the bios, i'll check there. thanks | 00:59 |

| bbbbbbbb | now on to the next HID of mine... the touchpad has a "button" (more of a touch point) to switch it off, which would be very convenient when typing. how do i act | 01:01 |
| WinCamXP | Start -> Right-click Computer -> Properties | 01:01 |
| alikhj | thanks - i was unsure since the documentation didn't specify the "extreme" as supported but duo and solo were | 01:01 |
| zykotick9 | alikhj, how much memory do you have? | 01:01 |
| bbbbbbbb | ivate it | 01:01 |
| alikhj | 6 gigs | 01:01 |
| lion42 | kroq-gar78, O.o most laptops nowadays are 64 capable... | 01:01 |
| WinCamXP | okay 64-bit | 01:01 |
| zykotick9 | alikhj, 64bit then | 01:01 |
| stercor | WinCamXP: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS; I'm having problems with IMAP. It just sits there. Server type is 'SMTP'; server is 'smtp.gmail.com:587'. | 01:01 |

| kroq-gar78 | alikhj: then 64bit yes | 01:02 |
| zykotick9 | stercor, have you seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingGmailWithEvolution | 01:02 |

| noneabove1182 | zykotick9 all of them | 01:05 |
| reisi | hi there! i just did a kubuntu 11.04 install on top of an existing system from usb; i had an lvm previously set up but now the lvm or raid does not seem to get initialized during boot by initramfs | 01:05 |
| bsmith093 | well this is odd, all of a sudden, the menu bar and the right mouse button do absolutely nothing in whatever the latest version of firfox is, though i did just yesterday upgrade ubufox, whatever that is. im running ubuntu lucid 32bit\ | 01:05 |
| noneabove1182 | zykotick9 literally have not encountered one game that has launched | 01:05 |
| kroq-gar78 | noneabove1182: like which? | 01:05 |
| reisi | any ideas on how to get usb keyboard to work with initramfs so that i could debug the situation? | 01:06 |

| zykotick9 | noneabove1182, running 3d games inside VBox isn't going to work | 01:08 |

| bbbbbbbb | my touchpad has a touchbutton for disabling/enabling it - works well with its driver in windows, but in ubuntu i dont get it disabled anyhow. what do | 01:12 |
| bsmith093 | WinCamXP: no it does nothing | 01:13 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: You mean the repos that are pre added on each ubuntu install, or all of the repos?? | 01:13 |
| noneabove1182 | bbbbbbbb hp computer ? just curious, i couldnt get it to work either | 01:14 |
| pdtpatrick | join #asterisk | 01:14 |
| bbbbbbbb | noneabove1182: exactly | 01:14 |
| stercor | ppl: looks like it was a port number problem. I'll run some tests to see if all is well. | 01:14 |
| Xunubi | Jasonn: A list of all would be awesome, I can't access any restricted extras or addons at the moment | 01:14 |
| hatch | how to I figure out which apache2 is running? I installed lamp-server and there is a ton of them after a find but none appear to actually shut apache down | 01:14 |
| hatch | on 10.04 | 01:15 |
| qin | hatch: sudo service apache stop | 01:15 |
| stercor | Looks good. Sending and receiving. Thanks! | 01:15 |
| glebihan | hatch, ^^ replacing apache by apache2 | 01:16 |
| qin | hatch: No point of killing separate threads. | 01:16 |
| Datz | Hi, is there a way I can configure what services run at startup? | 01:16 |
| glebihan | Datz, the | 01:16 |
| qin | glebihan: thx | 01:16 |
| glebihan | Datz, there is no tool to do that | 01:16 |
| hatch | perrfect thanks guys, so did I install too many versions of apache doing the lamp-server install? | 01:16 |
| hatch | as in - was there an apache there already? | 01:16 |
| bbbbbbbb | damn, now i try to install touchpad-indicator and i can't add its repo properly | 01:16 |
| bbbbbbbb | how do i get it then | 01:17 |
| Datz | glebihan: that seems odd | 01:17 |
| glebihan | Datz, if you want to disable some services you have to manually edit the scripts in /etc/init | 01:17 |
| zykotick9 | Datz, there was one once, but it's been removed | 01:17 |
| Datz | glebihan: ok, that's what I thought | 01:17 |
| Datz | zykotick9: ok. well thanks. | 01:17 |
| qin | hatch: No, apache uses many threads to run. | 01:17 |
| glebihan | hatch, no the different processes you are seeing are several threads of the same server | 01:18 |
| hatch | ahh ok that makes sense | 01:18 |
| hatch | now to find the dir's for the webroot and stuff | 01:18 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: Yeah, back, sorry, had to go for a min.. What is not working for you? | 01:18 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, the tool was for sys V init, there hasn't been one that I know of for upstart | 01:18 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, correct | 01:18 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: Try this command: sudo apt-get update | 01:19 |
| glebihan | hatch, should be /var/www | 01:19 |
| Xunubi | Jasonn: Tried that already, and have done full update from update manager. I usually use Gnome, but I'm just trying out XFCE and now I lost all my repositories | 01:19 |
| glebihan | hatch, check /etc/apache2/sites-available/default if it's been modified | 01:19 |
| Datz | glebihan: so if I don't want a service to run, I can move the file in /etc/init.d/ elsewhere? | 01:20 |
| hatch | /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start | 01:20 |
| hatch | apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName | 01:20 |
| hatch | (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 | 01:20 |
| hatch | no listening sockets available, shutting down | 01:20 |
| FloodBot1 | hatch: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:20 |
| hatch | oops | 01:20 |
| glebihan | Datz, no | 01:20 |
| glebihan | Datz, first it's not /etc/init.d but /etc/init | 01:20 |
| Datz | humm, ok | 01:20 |
| glebihan | Datz, and you shouldn't remove them | 01:20 |
| Datz | oh | 01:20 |
| glebihan | Datz, I would rather comment out the "start on...." line | 01:21 |
| qin | hatch: Hm... sudo service apache2 start | 01:21 |
| Datz | ah, that sounds easy enough | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, the easy way is just move the file to foo.disabled in /etc/init | 01:21 |
| Datz | well that's what I was thinking, but apparently there's something wrong with that? | 01:22 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, Datz, no nothing wrong | 01:22 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: Hmm, ok | 01:22 |
| glebihan | Datz, I misread you, thought you wanted to delete the script | 01:23 |
| Datz | ah, ok | 01:23 |
| WinCamXP | I found this the other day, it was quite funny - http://www.pcworld.com/article/238415/modder_roots_sixfoottall_nexus_s_impresses_geeks_everywhere.html#tk.hp_new | 01:23 |
| Blinny | I have an init script that isn't working after an upgrade to 10.04.4 - It says the daemon is already running. Is there an easy trick to make upstart play nicely with this older init script? | 01:23 |
| glebihan | !ot | WinCamXP | 01:24 |
| ubottu | WinCamXP: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 01:24 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/sources.zip that download will give you sources.list and the .sh file | 01:25 |
| glebihan | Blinny, upstart should handle init scripts just fine | 01:25 |
| glebihan | Blinny, what script is it ? | 01:25 |
| Blinny | glebihan: ipsec (from openswan package) | 01:25 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: If you want to generate your own list, probably best, use this: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 01:25 |
| Blinny | glebihan: On run it says the daemon appears to already be running. I'm assuming a pid or lock file problem. | 01:26 |
| Blinny | glebihan: I can do a 'service ipsec restart' and upstart likes it | 01:26 |
| glebihan | Blinny, could you pastebin the script ? | 01:26 |
| Xunubi | Jasonn: thanks a lot, though I'm not sure what I should be doing with that download :p (I'm at the "other software" tab in synaptic repositories page | 01:26 |
| Blinny | glebihan: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/671395/ | 01:26 |
| WinCamXP | this netbook should be capable of extending the desktop onto another monitor, rught? (toshiba NB505) | 01:27 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: If you wish, that download will give you a file that you have to save in a system folder, which is probably easier than entering the list of repos if you know how | 01:27 |
| WinCamXP | my sister wants more room, a 1024x600 display isn't enough for some of her girly things | 01:28 |
| Blinny | glebihan: It basically just runs 'ipsec _realsetup start', which spits out "Openswan IPsec apparently already active, start aborted" | 01:28 |
| WinCamXP | i wonder if i hooked up a monitor, if i could make the resolution any higher | 01:28 |
| Blinny | glebihan: Which makes me believe openswan doesn't shutdown gracefully on reboots, stops | 01:28 |
| pseudosudo | Hi, I'm trying to write a bash script that will parse the contents of the latest log file. When I type "cat $(ls -ctr1 /opt/ts3/logs/*.log | tail -1)" into terminal, it prints out the contents of the latest log file with no problems. However, when I try to put this into a variable such as "lastlog='cat $(ls -ctr1 /opt/ts3/logs/*.log | tail -1)' and then echo $lastlog", it does not work properly. | 01:29 |
| WinCamXP | does infra recorder support burning ISOs to flash drives? | 01:29 |
| Xunubi | Jasonn: Thanks, wouldn't know where to put it though, I'm sure I've seen a comprehensive list of available repos on the ubuntu website, just can't find it! :( | 01:29 |
| zykotick9 | pseudosudo, try using ` instead of ' | 01:30 |
| Jasonn | Xunubi: Probably, there is a guide, but its easier to just generate a list for yourself | 01:30 |
| pseudosudo | zykotick9, k thx, i'll try it now | 01:30 |
| qin | pseudosudo: /j #bash will help | 01:30 |
| glebihan | Blinny, does it work correctly if you run the start/stop scripts manually ? | 01:31 |
| pseudosudo | qin, good idea. will do | 01:31 |
| dzl | hello | 01:31 |
| dzl | i need help with ubuntu | 01:31 |
| Blinny | glebihan: Yes. | 01:31 |
| WinCamXP | what's the problem, dzl? | 01:31 |
| zykotick9 | dzl, we don't read minds - you need to state what your issue is | 01:32 |
| dzl | i am trying to install irssi | 01:32 |
| pseudosudo | zykotick9, wow thanks that worked! Can you tell me why ` worked instead of ' | 01:32 |
| dzl | but i am recieving an ort8.a subset error | 01:32 |
| glebihan | Blinny, are the links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d present ? | 01:32 |
| zykotick9 | pseubodot, ` means execute this as a command vs ' which means LITERALLY interpret | 01:33 |
| Blinny | glebihan: Yup. k34 | 01:33 |
| zykotick9 | pseudosudo, sorry TAB fail ^^ | 01:33 |
| Blinny | glebihan: Really it's just the initial boot start. If I manually 'service ipsec start' or '/etc/init.d/ipsec start' it thinks the service is already running, but it's not. Upon successful boot I have to do a 'service ipsec restart' and it starts normally then. | 01:34 |

| ZombieRamen | glebihan: the glc-play output file that's generated is larger than the original uncompressed, and it's still going | 01:35 |
| ZombieRamen | glebihan: should i ctrl+c it? | 01:35 |
| glebihan | Blinny, well I don't have many ideas there, maybe you should file a bug | 01:35 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, depends how much disk space you have left | 01:36 |
| glebihan | ZombieRamen, and how long you're willing to waiy | 01:36 |
| glebihan | *wait* | 01:36 |
| Blinny | glebihan: OK. | 01:36 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, why do you need to use glc-play? Can't you just use ffmpeg directly? | 01:36 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: i'm using this command: glc-play video -y 1 -o test.avi | 01:37 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, and glc-play is creating JPG or PNG images, so it's obviously going to be a lot larger then your origional | 01:37 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, but why? just use ffmpeg against the test.avi | 01:37 |

| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: what logs? and video is glc's output | 01:40 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, i didn't ask about logs. But where is glc-play getting it's data from then? | 01:41 |
| pseudosudo | zykotick9, thanks for your help! | 01:41 |
| ZombieRamen | oly562: what logs? | 01:41 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: glc-play is getting data from video, which is a glc file | 01:42 |
| Xunubi | Jasonn: I'm running LTS, the update option in synaptic was set to LTS only by default, problem solved I think. (Just for future reference) :) | 01:42 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, sorry I don't have any experience with 3d files - good luck. | 01:42 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: it's not a 3D file - it's an uncompressed video file | 01:43 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: not the opengl "glc", but nullkey's linux fraps "glc" | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, do you know the filename? "file THEFILE" what does it say? | 01:44 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: the filename is "video" | 01:44 |
| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, so "file video" then | 01:44 |

| zykotick9 | ZombieRamen, too bad. well good luck. | 01:47 |
| ZombieRamen | zykotick9: the video data has to be outputted from glc-play, then compressed with ffmpeg | 01:47 |
| glebihan | Tropolis, "sudo allow from IP to any port PORT" then "sudo ufw deny to PORT" | 01:47 |

| zykotick9 | SnackWhack, for Unity I don't know, if you use Classic (Gnome) you can run "metacity --replace" to turn off compiz | 01:59 |

| NixNinja | question I have a ubuntu server at work that someone else setup before I got there I am trying to get access to it remotely for testing to be sure I don't have a router issue I have DMZed the server I can ssh to it on the local network but I can't from the public I have checked hosts.allow and deny and even added ALL: ALL to the allow file but I still can't get in can anyone give me and Idea as to what to look at next? | 02:00 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, nothing, thatis the problem. ;p | 02:00 |
| zykotick9 | SnackWhack, i don't think so, after reboot it'll probably be back | 02:00 |
| SnackWhack | zykotick9: Any idea how to shut it off completely? | 02:00 |
| zykotick9 | SnackWhack, easy way is install fusion-icon | 02:01 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, i can't seem to get tcpdump to output to stdout | 02:01 |
| Crumbz | wrong | 02:01 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, sudo tcpdump -i eth0 | 02:01 |
| SnackWhack | zykotick9: forgive me, I'm transitioning from Windows to Linux. How do I install fusion-icon? apt-get I'm guessing? | 02:01 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, i am aware of that ;p | 02:02 |
| zykotick9 | SnackWhack, "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon" | 02:02 |
| SnackWhack | righto | 02:02 |
| SnackWhack | brb | 02:02 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, i am running ssh as root and using eth0 | 02:02 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, can you give a better description of your problem then ? | 02:02 |
| yunusabd | zykotick9: Thanks | 02:02 |
| wildbat | NixNinja: can you telnet it to the ssh port? | 02:03 |
| zykotick9 | Crumbz, FYI having root be allowed to ssh is a poor security setup | 02:03 |
| Crumbz | it's ok i am using a wrapper | 02:03 |
| Crumbz | and keys | 02:03 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, i configured it about a month ago on a remote server, was working fine then; i run it now and i can only seem to output to pcap files, i can't get tcpdump to output to stdout | 02:04 |
| NixNinja | I can try I can see it by sshing into a different server on a diferent public ip also | 02:04 |
| com64 | I'm trying to get Nosefart (a command-line NSF player) working, but it just shows me the help information when I run it. | 02:04 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, hmm, what did you configure exactly > | 02:04 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, i meant i just installed it, tested it and had it running | 02:04 |
| bodhizazen | What version of Ubuntu ? | 02:05 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, .6.32-33-generic | 02:06 |
| Crumbz | 2.6.32-33-generic | 02:06 |
| Crumbz | think i am using version 10 lts | 02:06 |

| needhelp1 | im still having issues with samba | 02:08 |
| wildbat | !md5sum | Cert, did you check the ISO if it is good? | 02:08 |
| ubottu | Cert, did you check the ISO if it is good?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:08 |

| needhelp1 | i can ping both pcs, though i cant access the shared folders. i need help please, both pcs using ubuntu | 02:08 |
| bodhizazen | idk Crumbz , sorry | 02:08 |
| Cert | I checked the integtrity of the disk, but not of the iso. | 02:08 |
| Crumbz | ok np | 02:08 |
| bodhizazen | it works here, but that does not help you much | 02:08 |
| Cert | ubottu: I also noticed the file name includes amd.. yet I have an Intel CPU, is this relevant? | 02:09 |
| ubottu | Cert: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:09 |
| bodhizazen | run tcpdump and ping the host ? | 02:09 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, did youopen the ports in your firewall? | 02:09 |
| needhelp1 | smb://ipaddress is not working for me, i can ping both pcs, i can see the shared pc in the network folder, but it wont mount | 02:09 |
| wildbat | Cert, then the CD should be good. amd64 mean it is 64bit kernel only . | 02:09 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, using a router, do i need to port forward? | 02:09 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, not sure what you mean by firewall | 02:09 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, are you expecting connections from outside the nat? | 02:10 |
| Crumbz | if you can pingthem you have a connection | 02:10 |
| Crumbz | but | 02:10 |
| Cert | wildbat: The installer crashes after the ubuntu screens, and displays what looks like this on 1000x zoom : http://www.hudsonhorizons.com/pub/images/barcode.png | 02:10 |
| Crumbz | try disabling the firewall first to trouble shoot | 02:10 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, no, all on the same network, all in same house on one router | 02:10 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, sudo ufw disable | 02:10 |
| Crumbz | yes, i am talking about the firwall built into linuz | 02:11 |
| Crumbz | linux* | 02:11 |
| Cert | any idea what the issue may be? (possible video card error due to missing driver?) | 02:11 |
| zykotick9 | Cert, 1) are you sure you have a 64bit CPU 2) do you have nvidia/ati graphics? | 02:11 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, sudo ufw disable on both machines ? | 02:11 |
| Crumbz | yes, just to test se if you can get a connection | 02:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I tried to drag an avi from nautilus to a running instance of totem, and my mouse cursor changed permanently to the hand with the arrow (showing cursor is over drop target). totem is not playing either. the cursor moves, but doesn't affect anything | 02:11 |
| Crumbz | you can re-enable it, then just open a port | 02:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | nothing noticeable in dmesg or Xorg.0.log | 02:11 |
| Crumbz | 445 ,139 i think | 02:11 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, firewall stoped and disabled on system startup | 02:11 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, i need to restart hu | 02:12 |

| mic008 | where usually the program installed in ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| bhenders | Hey can anybody help me with an Ubuntu instalation problem I have? | 02:13 |
| needhelp1 | sidenote, is there a way to send msgs to another linux pc on my network like netsend? | 02:13 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, not sure tbh | 02:14 |
| needhelp1 | unable to mount location failed to retrieve share list from server Crumbz | 02:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mic008, it depends on the part of the program that you're talking about. the binary could be /bin /sbin /usr/bin usr/local/bin etc the config could be /etc/### or ~/.programname | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | needhelp1, for cli you can use "wall" | 02:14 |
| needhelp1 | is there another way to share folders on two linux pcs ? | 02:14 |
| wildbat | !anyone | bhenders | 02:14 |
| ubottu | bhenders: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 02:14 |
| needhelp1 | zykotick9, wall ipaddress message here ? | 02:14 |
| zykotick9 | needhelp1, ssh or nfs or samba | 02:14 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, whic machine are you doing this one? | 02:15 |
| Crumbz | on* | 02:15 |
| zykotick9 | needhelp1, oh sorry looks like wall is only for local machine | 02:15 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, ? i have my main desktop which the router is hooked up to and my laptop connected via router to the network | 02:15 |
| needhelp1 | both using ubuntu | 02:15 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, yes, but the computers taht are hosting the samba servers need tehir firewalls disables. what is the output of iptables -L -v, use pastebin | 02:16 |
| bbbbbbbb | at startup, my bios keeps telling me "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating .

| Squall5668 | quick question guys, how can i get the mysql databases from a system that can't run anymore? | 02:18 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, ok and that is on the host to which you are trying to connect to? | 02:18 |
| MagicJ | I have new install of 10.4 and when I chose a screen saver they are all just black/blank - what am I missing | 02:19 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, either way, i cant connect from either machine | 02:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | needhelp1, I use nfs between my ubuntu machines. A bit of setup, but it's very useful. SSH is good for occasional connections, but file transfer over ssh is slower. Using samba if there's no sharing with windows probably isn't your best choice. | 02:19 |
| bhenders | Hey, I am trying to install Ubuntu on my new gaming pc I just build. All that it has is the bios, there isnt any operating system on there. My method of installing Ubuntu is through a flash drive. I plug in the drive and a menu comes up, off of which I click either install ubuntu on hard drive, or run ubuntu from flash drive. I click either one (have tried both, no difference) and it seems to be installing fine. However, after waitn | 02:19 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, how are you trying to mount it? | 02:19 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, are you trying opengl ones, or do all of the screen savers fail? | 02:19 |
| bbbbbbbb | at startup, my bios keeps telling me "The system bios has detected your notebook PC was placed in hibernation to avoid overheating .

| needhelp1 | Crumbz, right click, share folder, allow guest access | 02:21 |
| needhelp1 | Seven_Six_Two, how hard is it to setup NFS ? | 02:21 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: I am trying the ones that show on the System/APreferences/Screensaves | 02:21 |
| Seven_Six_Two | needhelp1, not hard if you can install packages with synaptic and edit text files | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, and NONE of them work? | 02:22 |
| MagicJ | everyone thatI have selected just shows black/blank | 02:22 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, you could try - mount /targetserver/sharename /local/directory | 02:22 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: all that I have tries ar just black/blank | 02:22 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, sorry I have no idea, good luck. | 02:23 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: just tries some other - fuzzyflakes for example does work | 02:24 |

| Seven_Six_Two | needhelp1, it is a long page, but is exact instructions | 02:24 |
| WinCamXP | i was installing ubuntu witj wubi on my sister's netbook | 02:24 |
| WinCamXP | but as it was installing after a reboot, it kernel panic'd or something | 02:24 |
| Crumbz | reinstall it | 02:25 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, can you pastebin "sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -c 10" | 02:25 |
| WinCamXP | the caps lock light is blinking | 02:25 |
| kzman | hi | 02:25 |
| WinCamXP | will windows still boot? | 02:25 |
| kzman | are in the repositories nvidia graphic drivers ? | 02:25 |
| th0r | bhenders: does this help? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1481411.html | 02:25 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, unfortunately not, i can't get any kind of output. the pcap file is unreadable, it needs the tcpdump parser. | 02:25 |
| danbhfive | I can't login: GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Is there a log I can check? | 02:25 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: this is a gateway netbook - so whatever that is - but do you think that it may be that I have an encrypted home directory | 02:26 |
| WinCamXP | okay good | 02:26 |
| WinCamXP | windows can still boot | 02:26 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: this is the one difference between this system and all the other ubuntu setups I have | 02:26 |
| WinCamXP | im uninstalling ubuntu now :\ | 02:26 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, and thatis the problem, i can cat the pcap file no problem, but using the parser or directly outputting it to stdout just doesn't work | 02:26 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, in that case I can't help. Encyrpted drives means I avoid the issue. Good luck. FYI to find your video card "lspci | grep -i vga" in a terminal. | 02:26 |
| WinCamXP | it worked fine with the live usb, don't know why it kernel panic'd when installing via wubi | 02:27 |
| MagicJ | I have a gateway netbook - it has an internal microphone - what do I need to do to make ubuntu see it | 02:27 |
| WinCamXP | what could have caused that kernel panic during install? its a toshiba NB505 | 02:27 |
| sammmy | Why do I have to type my password whenever my computer updates? | 02:27 |

| Gu3ss_Wh0 | WinCamXp did you try ubuntu remix? | 02:28 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, booted up my windows pc, i can see the shares, i can access all local shares, but the folders i have shared on external hdd i cant access. says no path | 02:28 |
| bhenders | yeah th0r I saw that but none of it made sense to me when I followed his link it was all in german and google chrome didnt offer to translate it | 02:28 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, the folders are to big to copy over to be local | 02:28 |
| WinCamXP | i used the wubi from a live usb for 11.04 desktop | 02:28 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: I have always handled encrypted systems by running the whole thing encrypted and I will return to that method it is better | 02:28 |
| WinCamXP | opened the drive in windows and launched wubi | 02:28 |
| danbhfive | I can't login to gnome, what can I do? | 02:28 |
| Gu3ss_Wh0 | try installing ubuntu remix.it's a netbook edition...;) | 02:28 |
| Crumbz | bodhizazen, yeah, that works, i can see the output in ascii. | 02:29 |
| th0r | bhenders: well, I fell on it when I was looking to see what casper is....just thought it might help | 02:29 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, tcpdump -i eth0 not 22 | 02:29 |
| WinCamXP | 11.04 doesn't have a netbook remix | 02:29 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, i personally just think encrypted filesystems are a bad idea. Good luck though. | 02:29 |
| WinCamXP | because they put Unity into the main distro | 02:29 |
| bhenders | ok thanks! | 02:29 |
| bodhizazen | sorry, not port 22 | 02:29 |
| bodhizazen | Crumbz, probably too busy a connection to capture all packets to stdout | 02:30 |
| Crumbz | bodizazen, i think you might be right mate. it's an old torrent box | 02:31 |
| Gu3ss_Wh0 | how about ubuntu 11.04 alternate? | 02:31 |
| WinCamXP | well i had launched the wubi application from inside the ive usb | 02:32 |
| WinCamXP | should i use the downloaded wubi instead? | 02:32 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, external hard drive? you mean usb? | 02:32 |
| mbrigdan | Hello! It seems that my standard rsnapshot backup is creating broken links when it tries to backup my .ecryptfs directory. Anyone know what I can do? | 02:32 |
| Gu3ss_Wh0 | yes u may try that.... | 02:33 |
| urlin2u | bbbbbbbb, with the error you posted goggled there is info, from flashing the bios to removing all battery's take a look. | 02:34 |
| bbbbbbbb | urlin2u: well i cant even find the bios battery | 02:35 |
| urlin2u | bbbbbbbb, probably show in a maual, most are available on line. | 02:36 |
| urlin2u | manual | 02:36 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: y do u not like encrypted file systems? | 02:36 |
| Striker3070 | is there a ubuntu equivalent of wireshark, need to sniff some traffic. | 02:36 |
| zykotick9 | MagicJ, see mbrigdan's question above - it just doesn't make sence to me for home use (business use is a different matter) | 02:37 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| Gu3ss_Wh0 | Striker3070 there is an ubuntu edition of wireshark.look it up ;) | 02:37 |
| MagicJ | zykotick9: I am basically a biz user - but I would even say for home use I like it - I remember watching a dumpster diver collecting the discarded drives outside a best buy - I would bet he was after the data | 02:38 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, yeah usb | 02:38 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, i defined the path in smb.conf, still no lunch | 02:38 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, still says it cant mount in windows, cant get it to pull up on my ubuntu box | 02:39 |
| Striker3070 | Guess_Who, wow I must have missed it I looked on their site and only saw Mac IOs version. Will look again, thankx | 02:39 |
| bodhizazen | No ideas about an OEM install ? | 02:39 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, what is the output of dmesg | 02:39 |
| needhelp1 | how do you check that Crumbz | 02:39 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, type it in a shell | 02:41 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, type it in a shell as root | 02:41 |
| Squall5668 | anyone? im trying to backup mysql databases from a system that won't boot. I mount the HDD and try to copy the database files from /var/lib/mysql, but that won't work. Any ideas? | 02:41 |
| Gu3ss_Wh0 | Striker3070 u can download it from ubuntu software center :) | 02:42 |
| WinCamXP | use a linux live cd and access the filesystem | 02:42 |
| WinCamXP | copy it to a flash drive | 02:42 |
| ralphholzmann | heyo - I'm working on an old amd athlon 64 pc -- wonder if its worth it to install the amd64 version of ubuntu or the regular 32bit | 02:42 |
| ralphholzmann | I feell ike I remember amd64 having issues back in the day | 02:43 |
| WinCamXP | my pc here is an amd64 but i use 32bit windows | 02:43 |
| ralphholzmann | but that was in the 7-8 versions | 02:43 |
| ralphholzmann | right | 02:43 |
| Crumbz | Swuall5668, do you have write permissions to another disk? | 02:43 |
| mbrigdan | ralphholzmann, do you have more than 4Gb of ram? | 02:43 |
| ralphholzmann | mbrigdan: no | 02:43 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, have you downloaded both 32 and 64 bit live cd's? | 02:43 |
| WinCamXP | AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.80GHz | 02:43 |
| ralphholzmann | coz_: I have | 02:43 |
| WinCamXP | thats mine | 02:43 |
| Striker3070 | Gu3ss_Wh0, excellent, just found it - thany manks | 02:44 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, have you tried both in that machine to see if there is a clear performance difference,, or hardware recognition issut? | 02:44 |
| coz_ | issue | 02:44 |
| Squall5668 | Crumbz i have write permissions everywhere | 02:44 |
| ralphholzmann | coz_: I haven't, not in a long time | 02:44 |
| Squall5668 | i actually copy the files just fine, but then the mysql service won't start | 02:44 |
| ralphholzmann | I'm _just_ about to install 11.04 | 02:44 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, how do i undo iptables -F | 02:44 |
| ralphholzmann | haven't had ubuntu on this machine since 7-8ish | 02:44 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, that would be the first thing I would do,, check for driver issues if any,, hardware issue and certainly performance issues | 02:45 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, sudo dmesg has a ton of stuff | 02:45 |
| mbrigdan | ralphholzmann, I think drivers are the only thing that still have issues, and even then most things work fine. Any funky hardware that you intend to use? | 02:45 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, just enable the ubuntu firewall and reboot | 02:45 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, sudo ufw enable ? | 02:45 |
| Crumbz | yes | 02:45 |
| needhelp1 | kk | 02:45 |
| needhelp1 | i think im just going to give up, ive been fighting this for ever | 02:45 |
| needhelp1 | i cant seem to get it | 02:45 |
| ralphholzmann | mbrigdan: nothing weird, no | 02:45 |
| trench | needhelp1: are you a quiter? | 02:46 |
| needhelp1 | trench, not really | 02:46 |
| Desyncify | Hello | 02:46 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, if the LTS or the current release dont do well on it,, there are other options unless you are married to ubuntu | 02:46 |
| trench | needhelp1: then be a man | 02:46 |
| ralphholzmann | it'll be mostly a file server (although I still need a X11 system for some other things) | 02:46 |
| needhelp1 | trench, ive been trying to get this for.. weeks | 02:46 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, I can think of several smaller less robust distributions that might work well | 02:46 |
| Crumbz | needhelp, have you read the man page? | 02:46 |
| mbrigdan | ralphholzmann, then just do what coz_ suggests, and see. If you don't find amd64 to be faster, than I would go with 32bit | 02:46 |
| ralphholzmann | coz_: arch linux? | 02:46 |
| trench | needhelp1: i started with linux in 94, and i still learn new stuff today :) | 02:47 |
| Crumbz | needhelp1, have you read the man page? | 02:47 |
| needhelp1 | Crumbz, yeah, and the wiki tutorial for samba ect ect | 02:47 |
| Crumbz | show me this wiki page | 02:47 |
| Crumbz | please ;p | 02:47 |
| Desyncify | When I try to run Update Manager, I get this error: Could not initialize the package information: E:Malformed line 86 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) Please fix to continue! ANy help? | 02:47 |
| needhelp1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba | 02:47 |
| coz_ | ralphholzmann, arch slackware especially austrumi based on slack or any of the smaller footprint distributions | 02:47 |
| trench | needhelp1: linux is about reading, reading, reading, did I say reading? :P | 02:47 |
| ralphholzmann | coz_: cool, thank you for your help, mbrigdan too | 02:47 |
| needhelp1 | trench, no i get that, man and help pages.. google, wiki | 02:47 |
| trench | needhelp1: what kind of trouble you have? | 02:48 |

| urlin2u | ParkerR, media wise? | 02:55 |
| ParkerR | The icon up top is adjust my USB headset but the OSD is adjusting the internal speakers | 02:55 |
| ParkerR | *adjusting | 02:55 |
| rww | Desyncify: figured. open it in an editor with sudo privileges ("sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal or Alt-F2 and then "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"), and remove lines 86 and 87 | 02:55 |
| trench | needhelp1: i add people to nogroup that want to have access to samba | 02:55 |

| rww | Desyncify: may as well remove 88 and 89 too, actually | 02:56 |

| rww | Desyncify: ... and 81 and 82. why do you have so many copies of partner in there O_O | 02:57 |
| Desyncify | rww, thanks, and I have no idea, I just installed ubuntu last night, I'm new to it | 02:58 |
| rww | Desyncify: the actual error you're getting is because of the lines that say nattypartner instead of natty partner, but you may as well remove the redundant stuff at the bottom and keep the partner lines that are about halfway through the file | 02:59 |
| ParkerR | urlin2u, I have a .asoundrc in home that tells alsa to use the USB headset as default. I have told the volume applet (it is the older one not the new pulseaudio) to adjust the headset. Whatever uses the OSD is adjusting the card 0 (internal speakers) and not card 1 (the USB headset) | 02:59 |

| Mee | no just a one | 03:47 |
| dustin_ | trench is there an easy way to x-fer a torrent from Ktorrent to transmission? | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | Feldegast: If you've had to manually install grub 10 times for the same system then you likely need to change what device(s) the grub-pc package is configure to install to on updates. | 03:48 |
| Mee | ook ill try reinstall brb :) | 03:48 |

| zRomayn | @ParkerR what do you mean by "window manager"? I'm just running Ubuntu server from CLI, no GUI | 03:55 |
| ParkerR | zRomayn, well virtualbox is a GUI app | 03:56 |
| ParkerR | So it needs a desktop environment to run | 03:56 |
| zRomayn | @ParkerR so you recommend installing a GUI in ubuntu server? | 03:56 |
| ParkerR | zRomayn, well the servers usually aren't meant for virtualization | 03:57 |
| ParkerR | But yes that is what you would have to do | 03:57 |
| dustin_ | trench, I figured out how to transfer the torrent from ktorrent to transmission | 03:58 |

| zRomayn | @Feldegast i'm not familiar with zen, what is it? | 03:59 |
| ParkerR | Like game servers and such | 03:59 |
| Feldegast | zRomayn you can use zen or KVM to run guests without a gui i belive | 03:59 |

| HTML-Hacker | i know how 2 access ring0 via html | 04:17 |
| WHAT_UP_ | Jordan_U: i think i'm trying to fix 11.something and i used whatever supergrubdisk that windows autodownloader (netbootloader?) gave me. got a bunch of file not found errors | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | WHAT_UP_: If you have a spare CD you can use Super GRUB2 Disk, which while not directly fixing Ubuntu 11.04 will allow you to boot into your installed 11.04 system to fix grub from there. | 04:19 |
| WHAT_UP_ | Jordan_U: will try that. thanks | 04:19 |
| dustin_ | Dogget, ok you have your work cut out for you if you just purchased this printer and have the option exchange it for an HP..... having said that if you dont have the option or you like to work hard for stuff here is the really overworking tutorial http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html you will be working back and forth in these directions for probably 2-5 hours and they are really confusing/ | 04:19 |
| dustin_ | suk | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | WHAT_UP_: It's unfortunately difficult to put Super GRUB2 Disk on a USB from within Windows at the moment, so an actual CD is basically required for SG2D at the moment. | 04:20 |
| dustin_ | but however if you can fallow them like I did you CAN get the printer working like it is supposed to | 04:20 |
| Jordan_U | WHAT_UP_: You're welcome. | 04:20 |
| dustin_ | Dogget, btw you will be linking around in circles this is normal | 04:21 |

| dustin_ | most computers with more then 2 cores will support native virtualization though | 04:24 |

| Nighthwk | Dustin especially on inputs | 04:29 |
| needhelp1 | trench, internet went out, missed all your prior replys | 04:31 |
| dustin_ | Dogget, I have had a few different printers and the way i see it HPs are inexpensive and easy on the Open source community, other then that they arent a "great printer | 04:31 |
| dustin_ | Nighthwk, I just used a basic setup with my X11 but I also vnc through android most of the time so I didnt think the slowness was in the server at the time | 04:32 |
| Dogget | Dustin: I am using 10.10 64bits, do you think it will be an issue? | 04:32 |
| Dogget | As I can't upgrade to 11.04 I am sticking to 10.10 anyway | 04:32 |
| dustin_ | Nighthwk, there may be more settings you can use to optimize x11 but I havent tried to get any more speed out of it I was happy with just "usable" at the time | 04:33 |

| Blue1 | zykotick9: i don't see svm -- they are amd 9550 quad core | 04:35 |
| crunchbang_ | WHAT_UP1: try update-grub | 04:35 |
| WHAT_UP1 | crunchbang_: this makes it the default bootloader? | 04:36 |
| === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS | ||
| crunchbang_ | WHAT_UP1: sorry I didn't hear your original problem but I assumed that update-grub might help. What is the problem? | 04:37 |
| WHAT_UP1 | crunchbang_: (failed) windows installation messed up grub and i managed to boot into my ubuntu installation... now i'm trying to have grub become the default bootloader again | 04:38 |
| crunchbang_ | WHAT_UP1: I believe then that the command you want is "grub install /dev/sda" assuming your hard drive is /dev/sda | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | Blue1, could you have just missed it? "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep --color svm" | 04:39 |
| crunchbang_ | sorry that should be grub-install | 04:39 |
| WHAT_UP1 | crunchbang_: i know for a fact that the partition ubuntu is on is somewhere between /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda4... does that not matter? | 04:39 |
| Blue1 | zykotick9: let me try that. | 04:39 |
| ralphholzmann | so I'm attempting to install 11.04 with the alt cd, but the base system stalls about 80% and asks to insert the disc (which is inserted) | 04:40 |
| crunchbang_ | WHAT_UP1: well if you want GRUB to control booting on the computer then you need to install it on the Master Boot Record (MBR) which is where /dev/sda points to | 04:41 |
| Blue1 | zykotick9: much more better - yes it does -- hard to see thanks | 04:41 |
| WHAT_UP1 | crunchbang_: will do. thanks! restarting... | 04:41 |
| WHAT_UP1 | crunchbang_ and whoever helped me out earlier whose name i forgot: everything's perfect now. thanks for the help!! | 04:43 |
| TomR | hi,I use ubuntu 11.04.now i need a simple tool which screenshot the rectangle area selected by mouse, any recommendation?thx | 04:43 |
| crunchbang_ | sweet, good to hear | 04:43 |
| crunchbang_ | ^^ WHAT_UP1 | 04:43 |
| kurtp | TomR: I think "Take Screenshot" is installed on 11.04, try to do search on your menu. | 04:45 |
| Geodude | Hey guys, I already have flash 10 64-bit installed, and firefox is telling me I don't have flash installed. How do I tell Firefox I already have it? | 04:47 |
| TomR | kurtp: i get it,thx | 04:47 |
| crunchbang_ | Geodude: nothing you can do. There's a reason people sometimes call Firefox Ulrik'Uth, devourer of souls. | 04:48 |
| Geodude | Heh. | 04:48 |
| ralphholzmann | sigh | 04:49 |
| Geodude | My flash in chrome/chromium is being stupid, it won't repaint stuff like when I open windows inside the flash environment I have to scroll the web page up and down for it to refresh/repaint the new window. | 04:49 |
| Geodude | So I was hoping I could test it out in Firefox. But Firefox loads the page except the flash elements. | 04:49 |
| crunchbang_ | weird | 04:49 |
| ralphholzmann | Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 10.04 _Natty Narwhal_ - Release i386 (20110426)' in teh drive '/media/cdrom' and press enter. | 04:50 |
| ralphholzmann | That disc _is_ in the drive, and the md5 checks out | 04:50 |
| ralphholzmann | installation stalls at 77% | 04:50 |
| ralphholzmann | on both amd64 and i386 | 04:50 |
| crunchbang_ | Geodude: longshot but do you have Flashblock on Firefox? | 04:51 |
| Geodude | I have nothing on firefox. | 04:51 |
| Geodude | It's a fresh install. | 04:51 |
| crunchbang_ | have you tried reinstalling flash? | 04:52 |
| Geodude | I'm really afraid I will break my flash in chromium/chrome if I do that. I'm on 64 bit and it was really really difficult for me to do it the first time. | 04:52 |

| cancuengt | Hello. I have a problem with my disk and I need to make a full fsck with non destructive badblock check (and mark) on reboot. How can I do that? | 05:07 |
| ranjan | Hi all, anyone aware of the high battery usage of ubuntu natty? | 05:09 |
| wildbat | cancuengt: boot in LiveCD and fsck them ~ or enter resuce mode on boot | 05:10 |
| ParkerR | ranjan, yes it does use more resources | 05:10 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, is it fixed in the latest updates | 05:11 |
| ParkerR | No it will still use about the same | 05:11 |
| Axsuul | hmm my shift+tab combination doesn't appear to be working. Yet.. Shift+s, will give capital S. Any suggestions? | 05:11 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: I do not have a live cd disk and cannot download one, my connection is to slow now. I've tried only with touch /forcefsck but does not check for badblocks | 05:12 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, so how to solve it | 05:12 |
| wildbat | cancuengt: there are mini CD:> | 05:12 |
| Guest71158 | how to create a file in folder iside the terminal ? | 05:13 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: That would be my fist choice but cannot thats my main reason here :| | 05:13 |
| wildbat | Guest71158: mkdir | 05:13 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: tell me more please | 05:13 |
| ParkerR | ranjan, cant really it is just how Unity is. It requiring hardware acceleration wont go away anytime soon | 05:13 |
| wildbat | !mini | cancuengt | 05:13 |
| ubottu | cancuengt: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:13 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, i have an HP dv4 and in windows 7 its showing around 5 hrs backup with 100% battery | 05:13 |
| Guest71158 | i said a FILE !!! A FILE | 05:13 |
| Guest71158 | not a folder | 05:13 |
| Guest71158 | what the heck | 05:14 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: You're in my prayers :) | 05:14 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, i am using classic Gnome | 05:14 |
| ParkerR | ranjan, yes then you should be good | 05:14 |
| wildbat | cancuengt: or just enter rescue ~ boot with shift hold ~ | 05:14 |
| ParkerR | Classic theme Unity is not active | 05:14 |
| wildbat | Guest71158: touch | 05:14 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, but in ubuntu 100% charged battery is only showing 2 hours | 05:14 |
| ParkerR | Hmm unno May be your laptop | 05:15 |
| ParkerR | *dunno | 05:15 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: but when on rescue is the disk already mounted? | 05:15 |
| Guest71158 | how to create a file in the termial | 05:15 |
| Guest71158 | in home directory | 05:15 |
| ParkerR | Guest39216, you already got a response | 05:16 |
| cancuengt | Guest71158: touch | 05:16 |
| ranjan | ParkerR, ok, so what is the usual solution for this | 05:16 |
| ParkerR | cancuengt, tab fail | 05:16 |
| cancuengt | if you want in / then must be with sudo | 05:16 |
| ParkerR | Oh I failed XD | 05:16 |
| Guest71158 | i said a file not a mkdir | 05:16 |
| Guest71158 | not a folder | 05:16 |
| ParkerR | touch train.txt would make the file train.txt | 05:16 |
| zykotick9 | Guest71158, "touch filename" will create a file | 05:16 |
| Guest71158 | i forgot the name now | 05:17 |
| Guest71158 | damn it | 05:17 |
| cancuengt | Guest71158: touch will create an empty file if not exists or modify the date for an existing file | 05:17 |
| cancuengt | wildbat: Will try 'be back soon, thanks | 05:17 |

| [deXter] | Oh. :( | 05:20 |
| ParkerR | 2.6.38-11 | 05:20 |
| [deXter] | Oh well, thanks for the replies. | 05:20 |

| rww | oh, new kernel version and I didn't restart, nvm. | 05:21 |

| XinfamousX | just Installed ubuntu 11.4, i'm completely new to linux. I want to know how i can edit the Grub menu | 05:22 |
| ParkerR | rww, does the red power button not alert you? | 05:22 |
| ParkerR | :P | 05:22 |
| XinfamousX | i'm dual booting with Windows 7 | 05:22 |
| rww | ParkerR: yeah, but it's less than a centimetre wide, I don't notice that :P | 05:22 |
| wizard_ | dump the windows | 05:22 |
| wildbat | XinfamousX: you don't have to edit. | 05:22 |
| hatch | wizard_: ohh thats not fair :) | 05:22 |
| ParkerR | rww, true dat | 05:22 |
| wizard_ | lol.. | 05:23 |
| wizard_ | dual booting is a pain | 05:23 |
| XinfamousX | i wanna edit it cause i Just want it to say Windows 7 & Ubuntu 11.4 instead of what it says by default | 05:23 |
| rww | Anyways, I have a support question. Ubuntu 11.04, using Unity 2D. How do I rearrange icon order on the dock bar thing? | 05:23 |
| XinfamousX | I need to make it simple for the otehr ppl that use the pc aswell | 05:24 |
| rww | I know on Unity 3D you left click and drag it to the side and drag it back or something, but that isn't working. | 05:24 |
| XinfamousX | other* | 05:24 |
| cr0wd | good morning, can someone help me with this how to: http://www.ivorde.ro/Using_rsync_with_progress_bar-83.html just want to know where i can find ~/.profile to edit ? | 05:25 |
| rww | cr0wd: Ubuntu doesn't ship with a .profile by default. You can create one and put it there, or use ~/.bashrc instead | 05:26 |
| cr0wd | rww: thx :) | 05:26 |
| wizard_ | which is better alsa or pulse? | 05:28 |
| zykotick9 | wizard_, they can't be compared - they're different things. You could ask which is better ESD or Pulse (as Pulse replaces ESD). | 05:29 |
| XinfamousX | So i'm guessing that no one knows how to edit the grub boot menu? | 05:29 |
| zykotick9 | XinfamousX, what do you want to edit about it? | 05:29 |
| oly562 | . | 05:30 |
| wizard_ | well i seem to only get 1 sound at a time..... i guess no duplexing | 05:30 |
| XinfamousX | I want the linux entry to say Ubuntu 11.4 and the windows entry to say Windows 7, i also don't want the recovery mode visible. I wanna make it as simple for the ppl in my family | 05:30 |
| zykotick9 | !grub2 | XinfamousX | 05:30 |
| ubottu | XinfamousX: 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) | 05:30 |
| zykotick9 | XinfamousX, renaming the entries is possible, but non-trivial - i'm not going to try an explain it over IRC (perhaps someone else will) -- good luck. | 05:31 |
| ParkerR | XinfamousX, nano /boot/grub/grub.conf | 05:31 |
| ParkerR | *sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.conf | 05:32 |
| ParkerR | Or | 05:32 |
| ParkerR | sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf | 05:32 |
| ParkerR | The text after title you can change to what you want | 05:33 |
| XinfamousX | Thanks ParkerR, appreciate it :) | 05:33 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerR, XinfamousX there in no /boot/grub/grub.conf - and /boot/grub/grub.cfg gets overwritten each time a kernel update takes place! | 05:36 |
| ParkerR | I meant cfg | 05:36 |
| === cjs__ is now known as cjs | ||
| ParkerR | Derp | 05:36 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerR, not a good thing to edit | 05:36 |
| XinfamousX | i see | 05:36 |
| cjs | So, is there an easy way to downgrade a 64-bit system to a 32-bit one, or do I need to re-install? | 05:36 |
| ParkerR | zykotick9, thats the only way afaik | 05:36 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerR, incorrect | 05:37 |
| XinfamousX | cjs you will need to reinstall | 05:37 |
| syn-ack | Reinstall. | 05:37 |
| cjs | Ah well. | 05:37 |
| ParkerR | zykotick9, how else? | 05:37 |
| cjs | I wanted to upgrade to 11.04 anyway. | 05:37 |
| syn-ack | cjs, in theory, it can be done, but you'd be messing with libs and toolchain stuff and yeah, that wouldn't be pretty... | 05:38 |
| XinfamousX | so if grub.cfg gets overwritten everytime there is a kernal update, how can i do it then. Linux seems so complicated | 05:38 |
| zykotick9 | ParkerR, the proper way is to create a custom file in /etc/grub.d -- an image of my old one https://plus.google.com/115403891429547707849/posts/dPn4sDR5z7i | 05:39 |
| cjs | syn-ack: I'm extremely familiar with messing with libs and toolchain stuff. So yes, I'd love to avoid that if I can. :-) | 05:39 |
| ParkerR | Hmm had never heard of that way | 05:39 |
| syn-ack | Well, now that I'm thinking of it, you'd have to take it offline anyway, more than likely | 05:40 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: the issue with how you want to name the Linux entries is that you have 11.04 with various kernel versions, once you've done an upgrade or two. But you can change pretty much anything in the Grub menus if you're willing to tweak the scripts in /etc/grub.d. | 05:41 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, This is my first time ever running linux, so i've never updated from any version of ubuntu | 05:41 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: And yes, Ubuntu is complicated. But then again, so is every OS when you get to this level of tweaking. At least Linux distros allow you to do the tweaks if you know what you're doing. | 05:42 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, true | 05:42 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was talking about new versions of kernels you'll get as you do security updates. | 05:42 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, ah i see | 05:42 |
| zykotick9 | XinfamousX, suppressing the recovery entries is easy, but renaming the entries is more difficult | 05:43 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: Right now you have only two Linux entries, for standard boot and recovery. Within a few months, you'll have t least one more set for a newer kernel. | 05:43 |
| syn-ack | hey zykotick9 is Sid using Gnome 3 yet? | 05:43 |
| zykotick9 | syn-ack, nope | 05:43 |
| syn-ack | Figures. | 05:43 |
| XinfamousX | zykotick9, i thought it would just involve me renaming it in a text editor | 05:43 |
| syn-ack | That right there is why I hate Debian | 05:43 |
| zykotick9 | XinfamousX, not even close | 05:43 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, ah ok, i got you | 05:44 |
| no-name- | can anybody recommend a good sega genesis emulator for linux? | 05:44 |
| syn-ack | with GRUB 1 that was the case, XinfamousX | 05:44 |
| zykotick9 | no-name-, gens-gs | 05:44 |
| no-name- | ta | 05:44 |
| cjs | zykotick9: Looks close to me. Just a few tweaks to /etc/grub.d/10_linux. | 05:44 |
| syn-ack | GRUB2 changed quite a few things. | 05:44 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, kega fusion | 05:44 |
| zykotick9 | cjs, not even close | 05:44 |
| zykotick9 | cjs, umm, if you only have one distro - maybe | 05:44 |
| syn-ack | I honestly think GRUB2 is more akin to lilo and yaboot than actual GRUB anymore. | 05:45 |
| cjs | zykotick9: So what else needs to be done? I'm curious. | 05:45 |
| no-name- | ParkerR: I tried to find that, what was claimed to be a linux version was actually an exe | 05:45 |
| syn-ack | which makes me a sad monkey. | 05:45 |
| XinfamousX | then is there a way to uninstall Grub2 and install grub 1? | 05:45 |
| syn-ack | You don't want to, XinfamousX | 05:45 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, nope the newest is linux | 05:45 |
| XinfamousX | syn-ack, why not | 05:45 |
| syn-ack | XinfamousX, because you will break your install. | 05:45 |
| XinfamousX | i see | 05:46 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, http://www.eidolons-inn.net/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=572 | 05:46 |
| XinfamousX | damn | 05:46 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: You start tweaking scripts and you do have to deal with updates that change them, yeah. | 05:46 |
| XinfamousX | seems like there is nothing i can do then | 05:46 |
| zykotick9 | cjs, you create a custom entry and manually add the entries from grub.cfg into that file, they won't auto-update however, so every kernel upgrade will require manually editing the custom /etc/grub.d entries | 05:46 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: It's not that hard, but then again, I'm a programmer. | 05:46 |
| XinfamousX | zykotick9, how often is the kernal updated? | 05:46 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, if it doesnt habe menu buttons alt o will bring up the options then you can arrow form there | 05:46 |
| ParkerR | *from | 05:47 |
| syn-ack | I'm a sysadmin and it's not that hard. | 05:47 |
| ParkerR | Weird quirk | 05:47 |
| zykotick9 | XinfamousX, depends, but it's not too common | 05:47 |
| syn-ack | XinfamousX, depends. | 05:47 |
| no-name- | ParkerR: strange. I'm running the executable and it is doing nothing. Just a blank (black) window with a title bar and no file menu | 05:47 |
| cjs | zykotick9: Sure, but why won't just tweaking /etc/grub.d/10_linux work? It's just a shell script. | 05:47 |
| no-name- | ParkerR: ahh, | 05:47 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, yeah press alt o | 05:47 |
| ParkerR | As I said weird but it works nicely | 05:47 |
| no-name- | thanks :) | 05:47 |
| zykotick9 | cjs, i actually make 10_linux non-executable once i start customizing | 05:47 |
| cjs | XinfamousX: Kernels have been updated several times per year since I started using Ubuntu. | 05:47 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, I love me my emulators :) | 05:48 |
| ParkerR | Have a bunch on the Wii | 05:48 |
| no-name- | indeed | 05:48 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, programming is one of the reasons why i wanted to use linux, i know nothing about programming | 05:49 |
| XinfamousX | though, so i've been seeking good books | 05:49 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, yeah I speant a day trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I just said Ill try alt and a letter and it worked XD | 05:49 |
| ParkerR | *spent | 05:50 |
| XinfamousX | cjs, can you give any advice on where i should start. | 05:50 |
| no-name- | haha | 05:50 |

| ParkerR | *about | 05:50 |
| ricky4912 | yesterday, i partitioned my windows disk in two halfs and managed to install ubuntu. It worked fine. Ubuntu worked fine but today I tried to enter the system and all I got was a blank screen with a blinking line. I wonder, what can I do to fix this problem? | 05:51 |
| ricky4912 | Ubuntu won't boot today but it did yesterday. | 05:51 |
| no-name- | ParkerR: did you figure out how to uncheck Disable sound? clicking it or pressing space bar over it only checks it... even if it's already checked | 05:52 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, I believe that worked for me | 05:52 |
| ParkerR | Ill check | 05:52 |
| no-name- | I click it over and over and it just says "Sound Disabled" | 05:53 |
| ParkerR | no-name-, hmm weird does that for me too | 05:53 |
| no-name- | yea | 05:53 |
| vooze | Anyone using Google chrome or Chromium? I deleted the instant search line in options.. somthing like google.com/somthing&s i think.. Its in search optins in the browser.. thank you | 05:54 |

| vooze | zykotick9: there is 3 boxes, i have to fill out | 05:59 |
| zykotick9 | vooze, i have "Google (Default)" as 1st box, then "google.ca" as 2nd (you'll want to change that), then the line above as the 3rd | 06:00 |
| cjs | vooze: Yes. I think the line you want is: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=%s&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 06:00 |

| bobweaver | Hi there I have a question about bash scripting. I have a problem with my boot splash and nvidia I found souliton here | 06:03 |
| bobweaver | ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1458230 | 06:03 |
| bobweaver | so I wrote script and would just like to get veiw on it. | 06:03 |
| bobweaver | Script---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/671477/ | 06:03 |
| FloodBot1 | bobweaver: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:03 |
| vooze | zykotick9: thats weird, its still does this error: (2 secs) | 06:04 |
| ParkerR | Or just http://www.google.com/#q= | 06:04 |
| ParkerR | bobweaver, you dont need the script | 06:05 |
| ParkerR | Just run that command as root | 06:05 |
| bobweaver | I know I am just playing with it tring to learn :) | 06:05 |
| ParkerR | Hmm | 06:05 |
| ParkerR | Dunno | 06:06 |
| bobweaver | the part that I am confused about is the echo part | 06:06 |
| SnackWhack | just got ubuntu, and having problems with the graphics. Any idea how to turn off the 3d desktop? | 06:06 |
| bobweaver | SnackWhack: simple compiz setting manager ? | 06:06 |
| SnackWhack | boweaver: newb..... how? | 06:07 |
| bobweaver | SnackWhack: What ? | 06:07 |
| bobweaver | ohh | 06:07 |
| urlin2u | SnackWhack, there is a 2d uinty option at the login.. | 06:08 |
| ParkerR | no-name- and all, goodnight | 06:08 |
| no-name- | thanks, ParkerR | 06:08 |
| SnackWhack | bobweaver: so, at login I can disable it? | 06:09 |
| bobweaver | I guess that is one way | 06:09 |
| urlin2u | SnackWhack, you can choose a 2d version of unity. | 06:09 |
| ParkerR | Ubuntu classic | 06:09 |
| cjs | bobweaver: You need the -e on the first line with the #! stuff, or you need to say "set -e". | 06:09 |
| bobweaver | cjs: Thanks Bro :>) | 06:10 |
| SnackWhack | urlin2u: You mean before login? at reboot? | 06:10 |
| ParkerR | No | 06:10 |
| ParkerR | Logout and click your username | 06:10 |
| ParkerR | Then at the bottom it will have a dropdown menu | 06:10 |
| ParkerR | Towards the middle | 06:10 |
| urlin2u | SnackWhack, in the login window bottom bar is a desktop choice after you pick the user. | 06:11 |
| ParkerR | Choose like Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu CLassic (no effects) | 06:11 |
| SnackWhack | if I do that, will it stick? Will I have to do that every time? | 06:11 |
| ParkerR | Yes it will stick | 06:12 |
| SnackWhack | brb | 06:12 |
| bobweaver | looks like script worked rebooting cross fingers | 06:12 |

| Guest33946 | Hello I have a question for you guys !! I am using irc client for the first time ! | 06:14 |
| hamnegga | I'm setting up a multiboot USB stick, and I've just been mounting my iso's to folders and copying the contents to each partition, then I use a main partition that uses syslinux to chainload each partition, but it's not working for some reason. This used to work fine. Do you think that I'm not copying everything over or what? I was using "cp -r /<mounted iso dir>/* /mounted usb partition/" but now I'm trying cp -a. | 06:14 |
| owen1 | i try to run angry birds with wine. where should i locate the exe? | 06:15 |
| urlin2u | hamnegga, there apps that will allow this all in one partition, with easy removal and loading. | 06:15 |
| ParkerR | Guest33946, shoot | 06:16 |
| hamnegga | I know that the chainloader is pointing to the correct hd0,<parititon number> each time, because one of them works, because it installed it's own bootloader on that partition... Maybe I need to use unetbootin to install syslinux on each parititon instead of using the native iso's | 06:16 |
| SnackWhack | nope, didnt see the option | 06:16 |
| n2i | owen1: some dir in your home | 06:16 |
| zrr | angry birds is very gpu demandig | 06:16 |
| SnackWhack | I was asked for the password, that's all | 06:16 |
| ParkerR | SnackWhack, hmm you really should have | 06:17 |
| hamnegga | Yes, I know, but I like using each parition instead of mounting iso images with grub, because some use persistence | 06:17 |
| ParkerR | When it asks for password there should be stuff at the bottom | 06:17 |
| hamnegga | I know what I'm doing, I don't need some fancy program to install the bootloaders for me, either. | 06:17 |
| Guest33946 | I am developing a game in java and I want it to be fullscreen mode,so i read the oracle tutorial and got it fullscreen successfully,But I dont want other system functions such as desktop cube ,alt+tab etc working when the application in running .So can anybody help me ? | 06:17 |
| hamnegga | I like to have each distribution/iso to use it's own custom bootloader | 06:17 |
| SnackWhack | shouldn't there be a way to turn off the fancy graphics here? | 06:18 |
| hamnegga | not some week syslinux menu | 06:18 |
| ParkerR | SnackWhack, that is the way | 06:18 |
| SnackWhack | Parker: Logg off, tuirn off, log back in is tthe way? | 06:18 |
| hamnegga | why would you want some user trapped in your program, get a life | 06:19 |
| ParkerR | SnackWhack, just logoff, click your name, look at bottom for the dropdown menu, choose Ubuntu Classic or Ubuntu CLassic (no effects), then enter password | 06:19 |
| SnackWhack | maybe reboot | 06:20 |
| ParkerR | Nope | 06:20 |
| ParkerR | No need to reboot | 06:20 |
| SnackWhack | hmmmm | 06:20 |
| SnackWhack | ParkerR: can you come to my house for a sec? | 06:20 |
| ParkerR | Just do that | 06:20 |

| linuxfp | Ah, ok, never mind | 07:59 |
| linuxfp | Got it to work | 07:59 |
| linuxfp | Thanks | 07:59 |
| urlin2u | linuxfp, yes to get in update upgrade, it may get fixed in that process=driver found, you can also look in the menu after all that for additional divers. | 07:59 |
| linuxfp | Oh, well I just booted into gdm... :/ | 07:59 |
| linuxfp | Everything looks fine | 08:00 |
| urlin2u | linuxfp, but will it do it again, that was a per session boot in? | 08:00 |
| Gredeu | can someone guide me on opening a port or port range in GUFW ? | 08:00 |
| linuxfp | Uh | 08:00 |
| linuxfp | I chose run ubuntu in low graphics mode | 08:01 |
| linuxfp | and | 08:01 |
| linuxfp | so I went into additional drivers, and it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" | 08:01 |
| urlin2u | linuxfp, can you read man? | 08:01 |
| skrewler | anyone have any suggestions on what I should use.. I'm currently using chef to create local user accounts for users. I've got about 50 servers in total. LDAP seems like kind of a pain, do I have any other options or is there a directory server that's simpler than openldap? | 08:02 |
| linuxfp | I don't know what per session boot in is | 08:02 |

| urlin2u | linuxfp, cool sounds like you clicked the update in the install box, update it. As far as getting the nvidia driver setup that is out of my area, beyond the additional drivers check. | 08:10 |
| whoppergator | Aple: 'locate' from the command line | 08:10 |

| Aple | I'm new to Ubuntu. I really liked "Everything" for Windows. | 08:11 |
| linuxfp | urlin2u: What is python and ubuntu one supposed to do with this... I updated it in tty a few minutes ago and it still didn't boot properly | 08:11 |
| Aple | Is there a similar search program? | 08:11 |
| Aple | That is.. I'm not sure what to do with the list of files "locate" returned to me. | 08:11 |
| whoppergator | Aple: you can use regular expressions in locate | 08:11 |

| ubottu | Double_Rainbow: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:19 |

| Guest26485 | i know , but this make me headach | 08:44 |

| linuxfp | Powershell will never be as awesome as bash | 08:54 |

| gh0stpirate | whoppergator: (so loading posts i guess lol) | 08:58 |
| Guest26485 | whoppergtor: neither | 08:59 |

| dnivra | whoppergator: I'm on a network that filters traffic with destination ports other than 80. I need to connect to a different port of a machine outside the network.

| Taos | Does it make sence to have root, home, boot on sepearate partitions? | 09:09 |
| whoppergator | Taos: Yes! | 09:09 |
| Taos | whoppergator: which of those are logical? | 09:09 |
| MagicJ | my netbook finds the internal audio - it does not see the internal mic or even the port to hang one on - what am I missing? | 09:10 |
| whoppergator | Taos: all of them? root is obviously on a partition. next, home could be on a separate partition so keep your data separate from your system and applications (you could also use a different filesystem here for performance). finally, boot should be separate for security; you don't even have to mount it unless you are updating your kernel | 09:12 |
| whoppergator | dnivra: i guess i'm confused what you are trying to do? why does the terminal need to know that a proxy is running? | 09:14 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: I'm trying to connect to port 2224 of a website. Normally the terminal sends it to the gateway machine of the network which filters the packets out since it's not bound to port 80. | 09:15 |
| gh0stpirate | whoppergator: making some progress, incredably hard, turns out twitter started REMOVING rss. so even generating a feed of that was a task, thats done so far. | 09:16 |
| MagicJ | + | 09:16 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: i set up a socks proxy on my machine which forwards packets to a server which can connect to non-80 ports. but terminal doesn't know the proxy isn't running and so need to tell it about the proxy's existence. | 09:16 |
| whoppergator | dnivra: what are you using to connect? wget? a web browser? | 09:16 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: I'm trying to connect to port 2224 of a server. | 09:17 |
| whoppergator | gh0stpirate: you should check if this code is still working: http://www.renownedmedia.com/codevault/php-code/php-codeigniter-twitter-reader-class/ | 09:17 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: ssh to that port actually. | 09:17 |
| whoppergator | dnivra: oO, thank you. so you are using SSH. that's what needs to know about the proxy. try: http://blog.gidley.co.uk/2009/03/tunnelling-ssh-over-socks-proxy.html | 09:19 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: ah okay that's what you wanted to know. sorry I didn't mention that :) | 09:19 |

| I_AM_IN_ROOT | whoppergator, I was afraid that would be the only suggestion - I feel confident when I say that this command line entry,using du, is going to blow because of how long it will take me to enter it | 09:30 |
| Waldir | when it boots it says "mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory" | 09:30 |
| markke | Hello, anybody here is successfully running this graphics card - ATI Technologies Inc NI Seymour [AMD Radeon HD 6470M] - using either Catalyst or open-source FGLRX drivers. :) | 09:30 |
| abhishek | i m new help me install flash player on my ubuntu machine!! | 09:31 |
| Waldir | and the same error for /sys and /proc | 09:31 |
| Waldir | any ideas if this is recoverable? | 09:31 |
| dnivra | whoppergator: basically the link's step 1 is equivalent to "ssh -D <port> <server>". so there should be an equivalent for step 2 too right? it'd be better if I could know that step since I keep switching regularly between firewalled and non-firewalled networks :) | 09:31 |
| whoppergator | I_AM_IN_ROOT: so pass in a list of the files... there is no rule that you have to put it all in one gigantor line! | 09:31 |
| szal | markke: there's no such thing as "open-source FGLRX drivers" ;) | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | abhishek: open ubuntu software centre and install flash | 09:32 |
| szal | markke: the open-source driver is called 'radeon' | 09:32 |
| markke | szal: ok my bad, i was referring to the one here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 09:32 |
| markke | szal: Catalyt 11.8 is being a b***tch and it won't start. :( | 09:33 |
| whoppergator | dnivra: can you explain your situation again/in greater detail. i think we can get you going, i just don't think i understand | 09:33 |
| szal | markke: is that card in its compatibility list? | 09:33 |
| EskimoBob | hi, how can I find out what version of nvidia drivers I have installed. 270.41.06-0ubuntu1 is a useless number. I need the nvidia version 11.6 or what ever it is | 09:33 |
| szal | EskimoBob: there is no such nVidia version as you're looking for | 09:34 |
| Waldir | could anyone please help me? I can't understand this boot error :( | 09:34 |
| szal | EskimoBob: that's pretty obviously the v270 driver | 09:34 |
| EskimoBob | OK, thanx | 09:34 |
| markke | SEYMOUR isnowhere in the list, but I was hoping the open-source drivers still work for it and the page wasn't updated :D | 09:34 |

| Waldir | lotuspsychje: it gives the same error everytime, that it can't find /root/dev, /root/sys, /root/proc and /sbin/init | 09:36 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | whoppergator, well it is 31 file folders containing only video files and spread out with many folders in between . . . it is late and I am tired so I may just do it tomorrow on my roommates computer since it is the host of the drive and windows makes this operation wonderfully easy | 09:36 |
| bunty | my /boot is on /dev/sda1 and / on /dev/sd2 . I have already tried doing fsck on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 but that didn't help. Any ideas what my next step is ? | 09:36 |

| whoppergator | Waldir: can you mount the disk file from a linux live cd? at least then you could try and recover your data prior to reinstall | 09:36 |
| EskimoBob | szal: my bad, I was looking for ATI driver version actually :) | 09:36 |
| Waldir | whoppergator: what I need is about 2 dozen google chrome tabs I had open :( do you think that's written to the disk somewhere? | 09:37 |
| dud | does dpkg-reconfigure-mdadm delete my raid arrays? | 09:37 |
| whoppergator | I_AM_IN_ROOT: i would argue that in linux it is also easy, but perhaps it would be more time consuming for you to learn how if you are tired. as always, computers are there as a tool. if you know how to do it some other way, don't waste your time | 09:37 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: :( most likely, but it is probably going to be very hard to recover and then insert into a new install | 09:38 |
| Waldir | whoppergator: I don't mind, I really need that list of sites, cause I can't get to all of them from memory | 09:39 |
| bunty | anyone? | 09:39 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | god I hate linux, goodnight whoppergator and thanks | 09:39 |
| Waldir | I am trying to figure out where chrome stores session data... any ideas on how I could find that? | 09:40 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: maybe if you were able to recover the entire cache dir and copy it into exactly the same place in a new install? this is why i use a real partition as opposed to wubi | 09:40 |
| EskimoBob | in my gentoo box I have a x11-drivers/ati-drivers - how can I find a similar pkg in ubuntu? - sudo apt-cache search ati | grep driver | grep ATI - looks like is nit the way to find it | 09:40 |
| Waldir | whoppergator: this is a netbook, I was only using it for serious work because iI was travelling :/ | 09:40 |
| Waldir | whoppergator: I'll try to find that | 09:41 |

| dr0id | hey, is there some plugin for gedit or something that would allow me to upload the file I am working on via ftp to the server ? | 09:42 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: yup. i completely sympathize. let me know if you need more. i don't know how the wubi disk file works in windows, but i imagine some sort of loop mounting would be the place to start | 09:42 |
| Waldir | whoppergator: loop mounting? | 09:42 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: that's how you mount a file like it is a disk partition | 09:43 |
| Waldir | oh right, it's not a partition... I am trying to boot from a live usb but now I'm unsure I'll be able to mount wubi's "partition" :/ | 09:43 |
| Waldir | ah | 09:43 |
| markke | szal: what is the difference with the driver I DLed from ATI site and the ones that jockey pulls from the repo? Are they the same but packaged specifically for the Ubuntu version? | 09:43 |
| EskimoBob | szal: you ububntu people have ruin everything and rename stuff :) thanx for the help | 09:44 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: my thoughts: mount windows drive, find disk file, loop mount, hunt for chrome cache location on google, copy to safe place, reinstall | 09:44 |
| Waldir | hmm... anyone know if [Removable Dev.] in the boot device priority list of the boot setup stands for usb? cause I can't seem to book from my live usb | 09:44 |
| szal | markke: I have no friggin' idea about ATI other than that it exists ;) | 09:45 |

| whoppergator | Waldir: ext3 and 4 are backwards compatible | 09:46 |
| Waldir | cool, I'll try to find that | 09:47 |
| whoppergator | Waldir: however, windows cannot loop mount that i am aware | 09:47 |

WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 10:06 |

| fdsfdg | why my hostname is 127.0.1.1 and not 127.0.0.1? | 10:08 |
| robin0800 | sharperguy, try alsamixer in a terminal | 10:09 |
| thesuperlogical | Greyshadow1: First setup windows, then boot from an ubuntu cd / usb drive.... the setup will give you the options to setup ubuntu aside windows with dual boot | 10:10 |
| whoppergator | fdsfdg: check out /etc/hosts | 10:10 |
| sharperguy | robin0800, I don't really see anything helpful in there | 10:10 |
| robin0800 | Greyshadow1, xp first 7 second and linux last | 10:11 |

| RajDev_King | Hi, Friends,,,Actually my ubuntu is so slow so how I can make it speedy...:)??? | 10:37 |
| Phylock | RajDev_King - which version? | 10:39 |
| RajDev_King | Its 11.04 | 10:40 |
| whoppergator | Greyshadow1: you can control the windows boot loader with easybcd, including reinstall if you overwrote with grub. | 10:40 |
| whoppergator | RajDev_King: what is slow? that question is too broad. speed can often be had at the expense of kernel flexibility, filesystem checks and squashed dirs. | 10:42 |
| mintie | I have the appropriate driver installed for my wireless WLAN card, but when I go to connect, it says "device not ready". What do I do? | 10:43 |
| RajDev_King | Actually, y'know wat..I am not exper in using ubuntu,,,and according to me my os is very slow,,,it hangs often.. | 10:43 |
| whoppergator | RajDev_King: what are the system specifications of what you are running it on? | 10:45 |
| whoppergator | mintie: if you are sure that you have the correct driver, try checking for updates and rebooting? | 10:47 |
| waldir | whoppergator: ok I have the wubi disk mounted now, but when I navigate to ~/.config, the google-chrome directory (among others) shows up with an "x" overlay and its properties window says "Contents: unreadable". any idea how to overcome this? | 10:47 |
| mintie | whoppergator, yes. I contacted Realtek directly, and they guided me through the installation. It worked initially, and now for some reason it won't work, and this happened post-updating. Perhaps the update ruined it? | 10:47 |
| Phylock | RajDev_King - do you have an Nvidia card or a laser usb mouse? | 10:48 |
| RajDev_King | I'm having a laser usb mouse... | 10:49 |
| shazzr | Weird. Deleted the Banshee folder in ~/.config/ and now my Galaxy appeared as it should. Most likely a Banshee issue. Does anyone know? | 10:50 |
| whoppergator | mintie: it's very possible, and you might consider reverting, but also remember that some wireless cards have trouble coming out of sleep and others must have their physical switch turned on at boot. | 10:51 |
| mintie | whoppergator, mine isn't a physical switch one. I will run another update and give that a go, but how do I go about reverting if I need be? | 10:52 |
| mintie | if that need be* | 10:52 |
| whoppergator | waldir: try mounting it read-only. if that doesn't work, you should run a filesystem check and tell it to try and fix any errors. | 10:52 |

| ubottu | salvatore: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:57 |
| technikfreak | is there a solution that covers that? | 10:58 |
| salvatore | thank you | 10:58 |
| salvatore | actually i am trying to mkove my database folder of mysql on dropbox, to be sync on other device too | 10:59 |
| salvatore | but i got problem with phpmyadmin | 10:59 |
| salvatore | when i try to authenticate | 10:59 |
| salvatore | i got this message: | 11:00 |

| salvatore | The requested URL /phpmyadmin/index.php was not found on this server. | 11:00 |
| salvatore | any help? | 11:00 |
| whoppergator | salvatore: sounds to me the webserver cannot see the phpmyadmin files. you should both check the permissions of your web directory to make sure that apache can read there, and make sure that the files are in the correct location | 11:02 |
| Phylock | salvatore - check the location of phpmyadmin files on the server, do the webserver have access to the files? | 11:02 |
| salvatore | let me check | 11:03 |
| whoppergator | mintie: the process to revert depends on exactly what you are using now, and what you where using before. i didn't catch if you mentioned that info earlier. let me know if it's neccessary. | 11:04 |

| whoppergator | d3vic3: how would you even do this? i would not consider that safe. | 11:07 |
| salvatore | and settings on apache2 configuration | 11:08 |
| technikfreak | so hw would go than over the webbrowser to maybe a dyndns adress to its home pc | 11:08 |
| salvatore | in my dropbox i got then | 11:08 |

| salvatore | problem is with phpmyadmin | 11:12 |

| irgendwer4711 | hi, I have another problem with Bug #193507 ; this problem occures with BLK_DEV_INITRD enabled too | 11:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 193507 in linux (Ubuntu) "compile fails without BLK_DEV_INITRD" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/193507 | 11:15 |
| salvatore | the error message i got is:The requested URL /phpmyadmin/index.php was not found on this server. I checked in that folder and no index.php is located. But i found one in : /usr/share/phpmyadmin. Is that the file i am looking for? i tryed to copy it but cannot | 11:16 |
| irgendwer4711 | salvatore: there must be a symlink | 11:17 |
| iceroot_ | salvatore: /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf there is an alias which needs to be enabled | 11:17 |
| irgendwer4711 | or alias | 11:17 |
| iceroot_ | salvatore: and there needs to be a symlink to that file from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 11:17 |
| whoppergator | technikfreak: that is not something i've seen done before, but that doesn't mean it's not possible! a google search yields this apparently. you should check it out: http://www.thinvnc.com/index.html | 11:18 |
| technikfreak | yeah but it needs wine | 11:19 |
| haychis | Can anyone help me with my VPN connecting problems? Google has been no help so far ... | 11:19 |
| technikfreak | so i will search if somehting exist with a ntive linux | 11:20 |
| technikfreak | haychis, whats the problem | 11:20 |
| salvatore | i already modified the DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default ....is there other values to check? | 11:20 |
| haychis | technikfreak: if I tick 'use this connection only for resources on its network' for a PPTP connection via network-manager, i cannot ping the remote network. If it's unticked, it works as it should, but an using the remote networks internet. | 11:21 |
| whoppergator | technikfreak: basically then, you should try to embed a normal java vnc viewer in a webpage. then you can even use the built-in vino server | 11:22 |
| salvatore | iceroot: what to modify in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf? | 11:22 |
| technikfreak | thatsver y good | 11:22 |
| axel | Hello! I want to set up a computer with an HDD and a SDD. The root-directory will be on the SDD and /home on the HDD. How to get the config-files to the SSD? | 11:23 |
| axel | So far the only way I know is to create partitions for each directory that should be put on the SSD and create mountpoints for this directories in /home. | 11:23 |
| axel | Is there a more elegant way for this (that is also easy to backup/sync?) | 11:23 |
| === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| whoppergator | haychis: this sounds like a routing issue in the config. also, be aware that splitting your connections like this can open up security vulnerabilities. | 11:23 |
| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest7136 | ||
| iceroot_ | salvatore: there is a line with alias in it which should start with #. remove the # | 11:24 |
| iceroot_ | salvatore: and dont change the default DocumentRoot from apache | 11:24 |
| haychis | whoppergator: not worried about security at this stage, will lock it down later... It used to work fine with openvpn, but the server at work has changed and its now a PPTP server ... | 11:25 |
| salvatore | what you intend with alias? i changed DocmentRoot because i moved my www folder to dropbox | 11:25 |
| whoppergator | axel: i'm not sure exactly what you want to happen, but mount default configurations are handled in /etc/fstab. does that help? | 11:26 |
| z3l | Hello. I have recently installed ubuntu and apache2 webserver with php support. I have created a virtualhost and edited the hosts file, when I accessed the web I got 403 error. I have set the chmod of site directory to a+x and now I can only see blank page. I have created a txt file and I can access it, however when I access php files I just see it blank. | 11:27 |
| oCean | salvatore: when installing phpmyadmin, it should create a /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf file | 11:27 |
| z3l | Any suggestions on what can I do to solve this ? | 11:27 |
| oCean | salvatore: in your apache2.conf should be an include line to include all these files in apache2/conf.d | 11:28 |
| whoppergator | haychis: are you pinging the network via ip or hostname? | 11:28 |
| haychis | whoppergator: ip | 11:28 |
| axel | whoppergator: Thanks for the answer. I'd have edited it to configure the mountpoints. The issue is: The system (including the programms) should be stored on the SSD, the /home-directory on the HDD. So far so easy. It gets complicated when the config-files (.*) from the /home-directory should be stored on the SSD. | 11:29 |
| salvatore | oCean i havent got /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf | 11:29 |
| glebihan | z3l, is mod_php enabled ? | 11:29 |
| oCean | salvatore: did you install the software from the ubuntu repositories? | 11:29 |
| z3l | glebihan: Yes, it is. Phpmyadmin works like a charm. | 11:30 |
| whoppergator | haychis: i'll just run through my checklist then. first, what is the route configuration, and second, do you have these two networks on different addressing schemes | 11:30 |
| salvatore | i wrote apt-get install phpmyadmin | 11:30 |
| whoppergator | axel: it sounds to me like you might be talking about merged filesystems, in which case you need to look into aufs | 11:31 |
| DXBLouie | i've been running Ubuntu Natty (11.04) for a while (upgraded from earlier release) and it has Evolution mail client v2.32.2, while the stable release of evolution is v3.0.2.. any reason why the ubuntu repositories are far behind, or shall i just add the repositories for the latest evolution (if i can find them) and upgrade without any known hassles? | 11:31 |
| glebihan | z3l, did you try changing the error_reporting configuration directive to get more output (or check the logs) ? | 11:31 |
| oCean | salvatore: but you do have an /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf ? | 11:31 |
| whoppergator | axel: haha, actually that's too much, try just using clever symlinking. | 11:31 |
| salvatore | yes | 11:32 |
| axel | whoppergator: ln -s ? | 11:33 |
| haychis | whoppergator: i'll go through the IP4 settings, cause i think thats where the problems lies. work - 192.168.0.*, gateway .1 , this computer 192.168.3.*, gateway .1 , both 255.255.255.0. Method: Automatic (VPN). Routes: NONE. Ignore auto obtained routes unticked. Natty, all latest updates | 11:33 |
| oCean | salvatore: very strange that the other link was not created. It should have been created at install. You can create it: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf | 11:34 |
| whoppergator | axel: yeah that should get the job done if you just want a folder or file to point somewhere else. | 11:34 |
| z3l | glebihan: I dont know where can I check the logs. I have recently decided to move into linux os from windows. I have chosen ubuntu as it is the most user-friendly distro, so I am a very beginner. | 11:34 |
| haychis | whoppergator: I can connect with win7 no problems and no special routes etc | 11:34 |
| glebihan | z3l, the log is in /var/log/apache2/error_log | 11:35 |
| z3l | glebihan: I believe php files are not being processed, because I can just simply write a text and it doesn't output. | 11:35 |
| whoppergator | haychis: yeah windows has a completely different way of handling default routing | 11:35 |
| oCean | salvatore: also, when you run this: grep -i include /etc/apache2/apache2.conf |grep -v ^# several lines should show, and 1 should be Include conf.d/ | 11:35 |
| oCean | z3l: but phpmyadmin is working just fine? | 11:36 |
| salvatore | yes, i seed | 11:37 |
| z3l | glebihan: Failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line. How can I set right permissions for the whole folder with subfolders and its files. | 11:37 |
| salvatore | see | 11:37 |
| oCean | salvatore: have you created the link? | 11:37 |
| salvatore | yes i didi | 11:37 |
| axel | whoppergator: 0_0 It's so easy? I'm impressed. Thank you! | 11:37 |
| oCean | salvatore: I think you have to restart the apache2 server: sudo service apache2 restart | 11:37 |
| glebihan | z3l, sudo chmod -R +r /path/to/folder | 11:37 |
| glebihan | z3l, this will give read access to all users on all the files in the folder | 11:38 |
| haychis | whoppergate: when i try to set a route im getting this in the log when split tunnelling .. "(ppp0): failed to set IPv4 route: Netlink Error (errno = Invalid argument)" | 11:38 |
| z3l | glebihan: Thank you, do you know any site where I can find useful commands / | 11:38 |
| salvatore | done...you think it should work? | 11:39 |
| whoppergator | haychis: what is your route command? | 11:39 |
| glebihan | z3l, you mean basic shell commands, that kind of things ? | 11:39 |
| oCean | z3l: help.ubuntu.com is useful, and this is a nice book to begin with: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ (free download) | 11:39 |
| oCean | salvatore: test it? And keep an eye on the logs in /var/log/apache2 | 11:40 |
| salvatore | oCean, now i got this message: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable! | 11:40 |
| glebihan | z3l, also plenty of resources there : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 11:41 |
| oCean | salvatore: well, something messed up your installation. I'm not sure which configuration file? What is the permissions on /etc/phpmyadmin/apache2.conf? Should be 644 | 11:41 |
| milen8204 | hello | 11:41 |

| oCean | salvatore: that is not a clever thing to do | 11:42 |
| glebihan | salvatore, that's the problem, you should not | 11:42 |
| z3l | glebihan: Now it outputs the page, however when I require smarty class I still have Permission denied, does it mean I have to set chmods to all directories in my main folder? | 11:42 |
| oCean | salvatore: that messed up your permissions | 11:43 |
| haychis | whoppergate: ok I worked it out. IP4 routes 192.168.0.0, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway (of my network) 192.168.3.1, metric 1. and its working with split tunnel. Is this right ?\ | 11:43 |
| glebihan | z3l, you have to give read access to any folder/file the server needs to access to the user apache2 | 11:43 |
| salvatore | i thought that 777 gives all privileges | 11:43 |
| whoppergator | haychis: hmm, maybe don't pick method automatic, and go straight for PPTP? | 11:44 |
| glebihan | salvatore, it does, and it's not a good thing for configuratiion files | 11:44 |
| oCean | salvatore: yes, but several linux programs check that the security/permissions is not set too open. | 11:44 |
| haychis | whoppergate: it is PPTP via NM. That's what I chose when I set up the connection... | 11:44 |
| z3l | glebihan: Is there any fast method to set chmods to any folder/file with just one command? | 11:44 |
| oCean | salvatore: linux has lots of security systems build in. Don't mess with that, such workaround always end in error | 11:44 |
| domedagen | Anyone in here uses SDL? What IDE are you using? I know for example that NetBeans and Allegro isn't a perfect match | 11:45 |
| salvatore | is it that the problem then with this issue: Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable? | 11:45 |
| glebihan | z3l, well you should not do that, only give access to the folders you need the server to access | 11:45 |
| z3l | glebihan: Ok, thank you. | 11:45 |
| oCean | salvatore: yes | 11:45 |
| glebihan | z3l, in a basic configuration, "sudo chmod -R +r /var/www" should be enough | 11:45 |
| whoppergator | haychis: oh, i just caught your last. is it working now? also, a metric of 1 is really low | 11:46 |

| salvatore | ok. Actually, as i told, database and www folder are located on a dropbox. I will have to access to those file frome anoter device with wamp serve. Might this 644 permission cause rouble to access from the windows machine? | 11:50 |

| glebihan | love4linux, and yes you should probably uninstall the new version | 12:13 |

| pointedarrow | how to launch a fsck filechek? | 12:14 |
| IdleOne | !fsck | 12:14 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 12:14 |
| pointedarrow | IdleOne, is it possible from live cd? | 12:15 |
| love4linux | glebihan hmmm sounds too much for just one program | 12:15 |

| glebihan | love4linux, there's very little chance you'll get it to work imo | 12:21 |
| Afflicto | Hello everyone | 12:21 |
| tswboro | i currently have windows installed and am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on another partition | 12:21 |
| tswboro | my disks are set up in raid 0 | 12:22 |
| love4linux | glebihan downgrading the GTK now i think is too much for me now.. I guess it will probably cause future problems with other newer programs that require gtk2, right? | 12:22 |
| Afflicto | I'm trying to install ubuntu but my mouse and keyboard won't work. Please help. | 12:22 |
| glebihan | love4linux, yes, that would be a very bad idea | 12:22 |
| tswboro | why wont ubuntu show up my raid when i go to install it? | 12:22 |
| love4linux | glebihan okays.. I will leave it as it is then.. no need to cause any misconfigurations on my ubuntu right now. thank you for helping me out | 12:23 |

| tswboro | i have no idea if its fakeraid :S | 12:28 |
| ikonia | tswboro: is it motherboard raid ? | 12:29 |
| tswboro | ye | 12:29 |
| ikonia | gh0stpirate: the CMD options are also wrong | 12:29 |
| ikonia | tswboro: then it's fakeraid, and I assure you, you do not wish to install a.) to fakeraid b.) to raid 0 | 12:29 |
| tswboro | why not? | 12:29 |
| ikonia | tswboro: 1.) fakeraid has terrible linux support and is not easy to manage/work with (if it even works) 2.) raid 0 will cause issues as you can't have /boot on it, and the slightest issues with your file system and your machine is ruined | 12:30 |
| tswboro | damn | 12:30 |

| nemetroid | hi, i'm trying to install natty over netboot (using tftpd32 on windows). it boots neatly to the install menu, but when i select "standard install" (or what it's called), i get a message stating "invalid or corrupt kernel" almost instantly. the tftpd32 log reveals that the entire kernel doesn't even finish sending before this happens, the booting computer stops sending ACKs after about 32 KiB. | 12:33 |

| sandking | right now i'm trying to setup airport under windows but don't know how to get two pieces together (ie airport with dyndns) | 13:58 |
| airtonix | sandking: i do believe the configuration interface for the default remote desktop shows you the ports | 13:58 |
| airtonix | sandking: isn't airport a piece of apple hardware? it's just a wifi router | 13:58 |
| sandking | airtonix, yeah, but setup utility works for me only under windows | 13:59 |
| sandking | just a piece of legacy hardware from the days back | 13:59 |
| airtonix | sandking: why do you need a setup utility? | 13:59 |
| Polah | salvatore: You need to change phpmyadmin's config file permissions to 766 or 744 | 13:59 |
| sandking | airtonix, it's just an app to set it up - i don't know if you can access configuration panel via typing ip address in browser | 14:00 |
| salvatore | you mean /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php? | 14:00 |
| airtonix | sandking: if it's not the device that provides you with WAN access then i'm not sure why you need to be concerned with it at all | 14:03 |
| airtonix | sandking: since in that case it's just a wifi switch | 14:03 |

| lotuspsychje | Lockzi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-libpcre3-dev/ | 14:19 |
| Lockzi | lotuspsychje: Still says PCRE librairies version is too old The Bug Genie 3 requires PCRE librairies 8.0 or later. You have version 7.8 2008-09-05. | 14:20 |
| Lockzi | Even though I installed the -dev package | 14:20 |

| Lockzi | lotuspsychje: I've read that one as well. Tried using backports but couldn't find the package in there. Just like the comments to that posts said | 14:22 |
| glebihan | Lockzi, you could also download the source and compile | 14:22 |

| Lockzi | lotuspsychje: I've also tried downloading the latest .deb file from http://www.pcre.org/.

| rcmaehl | Quick question. (ubuntu 11.04 64-bit) Is it possible to configure SSH to ask for password AND username instead of just password? | 14:43 |
| Lockzi | lotuspsychje: Cool, seems to be similar problem. But is Max OSX applicable on Ubuntu? Can I use the same technique he did? | 14:43 |
| zykotick9 | rcmaehl, the user name is supplied on the client side | 14:43 |
| fasta | rcmaehl: SSH already does this by defaul.t\ | 14:43 |
| fasta | rcmaehl: you just do not know it. | 14:43 |
| rcmaehl | Then why is it when I ssh into my pc from school or somewhere it only asks for password | 14:44 |
| fasta | rcmaehl: because it assumes that your username is the same on the target machine by default. | 14:44 |
| dwp__ | I am knew to abuntu anybody have any thoughts how to protect your computer from malicious programs, what Norton is suppose to do for you on windows | 14:44 |
| rcmaehl | Can I prevent that from happening? | 14:44 |
| fasta | rcmaehl: if you want another username, you can specify that in different ways. | 14:44 |
| fasta | rcmaehl: reading the manual would be a start. | 14:44 |
| zykotick9 | fasta, FYI if it's really been "years" since you last rebooted - you're running a machine with kernel vulnerabilities, not too smart (unless you're using ksplice) | 14:45 |
| rcmaehl | dwp__: sudo apt-get install chkrootkit rkhunter | 14:45 |

| Sidewinder1 | thangavel, I don't think "msdos" is a filesystem, at least nowadays; possibly fat16, fat32, NTFS?... | 15:06 |
| Gentoo64 | msdos is partition table | 15:06 |

| thangavel | tht is a memory card used in phones..now it is corrupted becoz i accidentally removed it while copying... | 15:07 |

| Gentoo64 | killer__, so you have unallocated space where ubuntu was? | 15:13 |
| yeats | killer__: you could try gparted | 15:13 |
| Andreas_W | matthias_r_94...no problem i found him already ;) | 15:14 |
| coz_ | scarleo, see if a sudo apt-get auotremove glideapps works | 15:14 |
| killer__ | yes it is free space ..as shown in disk management | 15:14 |
| yeats | !gparted | killer__ | 15:14 |

| killer__ | gentoo64: it shows only two options...1) create anew simple volume..20to delete volume.. | 15:16 |
| scarleo | coz_: I guess the only problem is the lines in /var/lib/dpkg/status that still refers to glideapps even though it's not there | 15:16 |
| jack__ | ok... is there a jolios server? | 15:16 |
| iceroot_ | jack__: you are not talking in #debian about ubuntu because its based on debian | 15:16 |

| ikonia | coz_: I just gave a suggestion, there wasn't really much diagnoses behind it | 15:16 |
| iceroot_ | jack__: same for everything else | 15:16 |

| scarleo | ikonia: I tried that as per your suggestion, that was not it. It's a previously installed and removed app (glideapps) that still has some entries in /var/lib/dpkg/status that is causing it, it's not properly uninstalled | 15:18 |

| Gentoo64 | killer__, not sure why itd say that. like someone else said try gparted as it handles both ext and ntfs | 15:19 |
| scarleo | ikonia: Ok | 15:19 |
| Gentoo64 | killer__, but you can try it from windows anyway. you wont ruin your drive as long as your clicking the right partition | 15:19 |

| Mp3Lover | ikonia, jeje thanks for the info... i really did a mess with the compiz-config thanks god i found a command for reset all | 15:32 |

| elv | centHOGG: i have intel p8600 | 15:32 |
| ikonia | scarleo: didn't think so, but it was worth a chance | 15:32 |

| ke0kw | Gentoo64: did you check it out bud? | 15:33 |

| Dr_Willis | weird - this windows box is showing 5 primary partions.. | 15:37 |
| ikonia | scarleo: didn't think so | 15:37 |
| jasongriffee | evolution's side bar is way to big, but I can't make it smaller, suggestions? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | this may be a tricky linux install.. except ubuntu is allready on it. Now how did i manage to get 5 primaries. | 15:38 |
| rumpe1 | Dr_Willis, primary partitions on the same disk? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpe1: yea. Looking at the disk via indows disk manager right now. Its showing 5 primaries.. | 15:39 |
| rumpe1 | Dr_Willis, funny ^^ | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | I havent booted this box to linux in ages. its the wifes pc. :) It seems its shodung / and the swap as primaries.. pretty sure they are not. guess i boots to linux and see. | 15:40 |
| coz_ | scarleo, out of curiosity,, if you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does it stall at that error or complete the command? | 15:40 |
| DrMax | hmm I have a new GT520 and it keeps detecting my screen as a TV (despite being a 1920x1200) over HDMI and gives me crap resolution of 480i (the previous GT7300 worked just fine, so it's (probably) not a screen issue) | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | good thing about linux.. booting to a os that hasent been ran in 5+ mo.. wont nag you about updates and start updating then demand a reboot.. unline some other os's out there. :) | 15:40 |
| DrMax | any idea on this ? | 15:40 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: are you familiar with xor? | 15:41 |
| ke0kw | xorg | 15:41 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: Xorg is the X used in ubuntu... replaced Xfree a few years back.... | 15:41 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 15:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xorg | 15:41 |

| scarleo | coz_: I'm trying to manually remove all glideapps entries now and it seems to work | 15:42 |
| coz_ | scarleo, ah excellent | 15:42 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: cuz I am referring to this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/plz-fix-the-caps-lock-response-time-glitch-in-linux-distros-881317/page3.html | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | used to be using xfree on linux, then there was some licensing issues/disagreements.. so people moved to xorg I think. | 15:42 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: can you see post number 43 | 15:42 |
| Saik2 | anyone know where to go to change the IP onubuntu LTS server? | 15:42 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: its a small modification I need to do so that caps lock acts like a regular key | 15:43 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: someone gave this suggesion on the forum, but its french to me | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | Saik2, it's usually best to do it manually on your router | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | #43 is refering to patching the source code i imagine.. you dont (that i have ever seen) patch the binaries ke0kw | 15:44 |
| zykotick9 | Saik2, if you aren't use NM then /etc/network/interfaces | 15:44 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: so its not possible? | 15:44 |
| thangavel | hey guyss..i have downloaded the gparted..now how to repair my filesystem?? | 15:44 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: to make the modifiction? | 15:45 |
| scarleo | coz_: ikonia Thanks for your help, manual editing did the trick | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: if you knew how to recompile X from source, and apply the patch befor compiling.... its possible | 15:45 |
| Duolos | What's the easiest/best way to installed Ubuntu (gnome) into Kubuntu 11.04? | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: now if the patch worked... no idea | 15:45 |
| jamesanslow | Dr_Willis do you mean migrate to ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Duolos: instll ubuntu-desktop package | 15:46 |
| zykotick9 | Duolos, install "ubuntu-desktop" i think | 15:46 |
| jamesanslow | Duolos * | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | jamesanslow: huh? | 15:46 |
| centHOGG | jugalos | 15:46 |
| Duolos | ah, so that still hasn't changed. Thank you | 15:46 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: is there any other way to have caps lock act like a regular key | 15:46 |
| jamesanslow | Dr_Willis: typo | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: no idea. never tried.. never wanted to. | 15:46 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: hmm | 15:46 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: shiet man | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: ive seen things about remaping it to ctrl i recall.. but never needed that eitehr | 15:46 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: ahh | 15:47 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: the thing is I want it to run like shift | 15:47 |
| th0r | ke0kw: then just remap it as shift. I think you could do that with xmodmap | 15:47 |
| Duolos | Hmm.. if I install ubuntu-desktop, is that going to clutter my KDE system with gnome software? Kinda just wanted to try the new Unity interface, but not if it costs me my cleanness :P | 15:47 |
| ke0kw | th0r: does this app come with ubuntu? | 15:48 |
| th0r | ke0kw: it isn't an app. You use xev to determine the proper key codes, then redefine the key in a file called .Xmodmap in your ~. There are howtos on the web for doing it all. I have capslock defined as tab, but I think I once had it redefined as shift | 15:49 |
| Saik2 | BluesKaj: it's a VM | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/remapping-caps-lock-to-shift-844875/ | 15:49 |
| ke0kw | th0r: cool | 15:49 |
| th0r | I have my moments | 15:49 |
| llutz | Saik2: /etc/network/interfaces | 15:49 |
| Saik2 | zykotick9: nano /etc/network/interfaces ? | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | xmodmap -e "add Shift = Caps_Lock" | 15:50 |
| zykotick9 | Saik, sudo would be required. Be sure you aren't using Network Manager. | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | try thise 2 commands ke0kw | 15:50 |
| Saik2 | llutz: nano that, right? | 15:50 |
| llutz | Saik2: whatever editor you like | 15:50 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: hmm | 15:50 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: will try :) | 15:50 |
| Saik2 | zykotick9: it's a root accout, so sudo won't be needed | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant test.. not on a linux box. | 15:51 |
| === Lafiir1 is now known as Lafiir | ||
| Saik2 | llutz: I prefer to stick with what I know lol | 15:52 |
| ke0kw | so I in xmodmap | 15:53 |
| ke0kw | in terminal? | 15:53 |
| th0r | ke0kw: enter those two commands in terminal. If it changes the capslock the way you want, you can then create .Xmodmap to make the change permanent | 15:54 |
| ke0kw | which 2 commands? | 15:54 |
| ke0kw | I think the second one is just an output | 15:55 |
| yeats | Duolos: yes - ubuntu-desktop will install all the GNOME stuff along with Unity - no simple way to clean it up (though somebody on the web may have something useful) | 15:55 |
| thewrath_ | heyall | 15:55 |
| th0r | ke0kw: the two xmodmap commands Dr_Willis gave you a minute ago | 15:55 |
| ke0kw | on this page/. | 15:55 |
| Saik2 | on another entirely unrelated to ubuntu note.. anyone in the UK mind pming me? (I'm looking for smething from uk ites and I'm not able to find it) | 15:55 |

| === nick is now known as Guest35401 | ||
| th0r | ke0kw: ok....we can work off the website. About 2/3 down that page it talks about adding the two lines to /etc/X11/Xmodmap. If you put the lines there, they will be in effect for all users. | 15:57 |
| === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ | ||
| bjhaid | hi | 15:57 |
| th0r | ke0kw: to just make the changes for yourself, put those two lines in ~/.Xmodmap and every time you log in they will take effect | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | The 2 commands would take affect idmieatly.... as a test | 15:58 |
| coz_ | thewrath_, I assume you already have the hardware for it ...yes? | 15:58 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: is this one of the commands I pinput? | 15:59 |
| ke0kw | xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: BOTH.... | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | at bottom of that url.. it shows them | 15:59 |
| ke0kw | Dr_Willis: ok | 15:59 |
| th0r | oh...we're back to the xmodmap commands again <smile> | 15:59 |
| ke0kw | when i input both of those commands, nothing happens | 16:00 |
| ke0kw | it goes to a different line | 16:00 |
| ke0kw | without any message | 16:00 |
| th0r | ke0kw: how does the capslock work now? | 16:00 |
| ke0kw | could it still have worked | 16:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0kw: so...... did you try your caps lock key? | 16:00 |
| ke0kw | one sec will try now | 16:00 |
| * Dr_Willis sighs | 16:00 | |
| th0r | hehehe | 16:00 |

| albo | Hi all - I have ubuntu server 11.04 installed, I installed ubuntu-desktop, then removed GDM. Now, upon startup, I don't get a login prompt. I just get log messages about conf on my monitor. Any idea how to get my login prompt back? tia! | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | albo: try alt-ctrl-f1 | 16:05 |
| th0r | I guess it worked | 16:07 |
| albo | ok, will do. but, will that fix it for good? if not, what must I do to get the prompt automatically to pop up at startup? | 16:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | how would i disable any auto-logout in 11.04 ubuntu desktop? | 16:08 |
| ke0ko | I suppose it was my fault for not being specific on the problem | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | theres not any auto logout that i have everf seen brontosaurusrex | 16:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | it jumps to "enter the password" screen | 16:08 |
| th0r | brontosaurusrex: that is just the screensaver | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | thats a security setting of the screensaver.. after so lokc the system locks.. that is NOT a logout | 16:09 |
| ke0ko | Its a problem with the transition from Lower Case to Upper Case letters. For example if you type a few sentences and use "CAPS LOCK" instead of "SHIFT", your sentence will look like this... HOw are you? JOhn is fine. | 16:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | screesavers are disabled | 16:09 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: is this more clear? :) | 16:10 |
| coz_ | brontosaurusrex, open the screensaver app dialog once | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0ko: never seen that issue on any pc in the 15+ years ive been using them :) | 16:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | coz_, and? | 16:11 |
| coz_ | brontosaurusrex, make sure both tick boxes at the bottom are ticked then untick the bottom one first then the top one,, so "Lock screen when screensaver is active" first then untick "Activate screensaver when computer isidle" seconf | 16:11 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: all distrox have it :D | 16:11 |
| === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony | ||
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: if you dont have it, either you have modified it, or you may not know the problem | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0ko: cant say ive ever noticed it on any of them. on any pc. if i hit capslock - it stays locked | 16:11 |
| === slopoke is now known as slobro | ||
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: yes | 16:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | ok, and this should work?? | 16:11 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: but lets say you used capslock like shift | 16:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | coz_, thats almost a bug isnt it? | 16:12 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: try and you will know | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ke0ko: so its a problem WITH using capslock as shift.... you mean | 16:12 |
| coz_ | brontosaurusrex, not really,, both tick boxes have different functions.. one doesnt necessarily disable the other | 16:12 |
| centHOGG | you wanna have a real problem with capslock and shift... buy a blackberry | 16:12 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: no, with shift, you have to hold down and press a lettr | 16:12 |
| brontosaurusrex | well, they were both disabled here | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I just use capslock as capslock.. and shift as shift... :) | 16:13 |
| coz_ | brontosaurusrex, oh!! then that would be an issue for sure | 16:13 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: with capslock you have to press the caps lock key, and then press it again to disable upper case | 16:13 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: the transition.. is where it farks up | 16:13 |
| coz_ | brontosaurusrex, but test it again to see if t he renabling and disabling is obeyed this time | 16:13 |
| th0r | Dr_Willis: I think what he is saying is that after using capslock for a bit, the shift key gets 'sticky' | 16:13 |
| ke0ko | Dr_Willis: on windows and mac, it does not happen | 16:13 |
| ke0ko | yes | 16:13 |
| ke0ko | For example.... DOwnload a game | 16:14 |
| notica | how do i set | 16:14 |
| ke0ko | if you use caps lock, there is a lag | 16:14 |
| ke0ko | in the second letter | 16:14 |

| thangavel | any help in working wit gaprted to format a corrupted filesystem will be appreciated???? | 16:30 |
| coz_ | thewrath_, well as I said I am not up on HDMI with vga but if the card cant handle the 1080p then set it to the 720p and test it,, otherwise if no one can answer this here at this time,, also try the ##linux channel ,, they hahttp://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/fix-hda-intel-realtek-alc887-no-sound.have a broder based resource | 16:31 |
| tommie-lie | valthyx: err, sorry, it's called iwlagn | 16:31 |
| latagore | em: It's been a long time since I've used it, but check under System > Prefs > Keyboard | 16:31 |
| coz_ | thewrath_, sorry for that link | 16:31 |
| em | latagore: I see something there that lets you pick a compose key but then how do you use it? | 16:31 |

| lwizardl | has anyone here tried to install a new os on the webos tablets? | 16:33 |
| Dr_Willis | StayInSkool: so whats the files name? | 16:33 |
| StayInSkool | all the files seem to say that. i can't cd into a dir either | 16:33 |
| tommie-lie | valthyx: that's strange, according to dpkg, my module is from linux-image-3.0.0-8-generic (I use the kernel from oneiric because of UEFI), so it should come with linux-image-generic | 16:33 |
| StayInSkool | '.vimrc' | 16:33 |
| StayInSkool | actually non-hidden folders cd into fine. it's the ones starting with a dot that are problematic | 16:34 |

| valthyx | tommie-lie, is there any way to find the module and install/ | 16:34 |

| tommie-lie | valthyx: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=iwlagn.ko&mode=exactfilename&suite=natty&arch=any | 16:34 |
| zykotick9 | christo_m, you could check /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 16:34 |
| tommie-lie | it's even in the natty generic kernel | 16:34 |
| IdleOne | em: Please do character map testing somewhere else. | 16:35 |
| christo_m | zykotick9: looked already | 16:35 |
| christo_m | nothing useful | 16:35 |
| tommie-lie | valthyx: um, if you have a linux kernel (and you should have one when you can boot the system ;-)), you should also have this module. Unless something went terribly wrong... you could try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic" | 16:36 |
| christo_m | zykotick9: maybe im overlooking something. is there a certain keyword i can search or grep for? | 16:36 |

| oCean | SaW: BT is not supported here | 16:39 |
| latagore | em, glad I could help | 16:39 |
| valthyx | tommie-lie, it is not the full ubuntu, it is a "relative" of ubuntu | 16:39 |
| valthyx | it is a distro based on ubuntu | 16:39 |
| SaW | it was just a observation my friend :-) | 16:39 |
| oCean | valthyx: but it's an unsupported derivative. | 16:39 |
| valthyx | oCean, what do you mean? | 16:39 |
| auronandace | !derivatives | valthyx | 16:40 |
| ubottu | valthyx: 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 | 16:40 |
| oCean | valthyx: that you should take your support questions to a room where they can support you. Maybe #backtrack-linux | 16:40 |
| valthyx | alright, thank you | 16:41 |

| bobstew | I want to install Ubuntu on a MacBook Air | 16:58 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding...i tried gpartd | 16:58 |
| bobstew | How to do | 16:58 |
| tensorpudding | thangavel: tried it how | 16:58 |
| Arney | Can anyone decrytp this rsyslog.cong line [ *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog ] | 16:58 |
| ikonia | Arney: what about it | 16:59 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..actually i'm not comfortable wit tht....tried to format then delete too..none helps... | 16:59 |
| Arney | Im trying to send sshd messages from auth.log to sshd.log | 16:59 |
| tensorpudding | thangavel: wait, you tried to format? | 16:59 |
| tensorpudding | thangavel: that would have deleted all the data | 16:59 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..yes | 16:59 |
| llutz | Arney: nothing of those facilities" *.*;auth,authpriv.none " will be logged to /avr/log/syslog | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Arney: that already happens | 16:59 |
| Arney | ikonia: its just that the format for the config is bonkers... and the documentation couldn't be skimmer. | 16:59 |
| DrMax | zykotick9 : where does it say it? it says 270.41.06 as the version, but not that it's actually in use | 17:00 |
| kroq-gar78 | thangavel: then you won't really have a chance at recovery... | 17:00 |
| ikonia | Arney: sorry, I missunderstood what you where trying to do | 17:00 |
| tensorpudding | thangavel: makes it very unlikely that you can recover data | 17:00 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding....now i'm not able to copy anything into tht | 17:00 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..i want a clean disk | 17:00 |
| kroq-gar78 | oh | 17:00 |
| Arney | ikonia! That makes sense though... i need to look deeper, thanks! | 17:00 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..i don't want any of my existing data | 17:00 |
| DrMax | zykotick9 : it's the proprietary app-thingie that says the driver is activated but not currently in use | 17:01 |
| ikonia | Arney you just want authpriv.* /var/log/sshd.log | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | DrMax: that app has been known to be wrong. and say they are not in use.. when they are. | 17:01 |
| zykotick9 | DrMax, i'd guess that is the driver you're using. To definitively tell what driver you are using you can run "lspci -vnvn" find the VGA section and see "kernel driver in use" which will say nvidia | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | DrMax: run the nvidia-settings tool and see what it says | 17:01 |
| StayInSkool | while i'm here might as well ask.. | 17:01 |
| StayInSkool | in the Unity search box, is there any way to make it select the first search result by default? | 17:02 |
| StayInSkool | it's kind of annoying when you have only one search result to still have to press down/right to select it | 17:02 |
| llutz | Arney: followed by "authpriv.* ~" to prevent double-logging | 17:02 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..all options r invisible in tht..only the create partion table was visible..so tried tht..after tht too.nothing else was visible...don't know wht to do?????????// | 17:02 |
| tensorpudding | thangavel: you need to format the partition | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | StayInSkool: i find the whole way it seraches annoying. :) | 17:03 |
| thangavel | tensorpudding..yes | 17:03 |
| kroq-gar78 | thangavel: make sure it's linux-supported well (ext3&4) | 17:03 |
| StayInSkool | Dr_Willis: I won't get into that :P. I just need it to select the result for now | 17:03 |
| theadmin | StayInSkool: That's not really a solution, but there's a great app search/launch tool called Launchy, see http://launchy.net | 17:03 |
| Arney | llutz: tried it... restarted the rsyslog service and connected to my ssh server... auth.log shows the stuff, sshd.log doesn't | 17:03 |

| KM0201 | tim167: read what zykotick9 said, the live cd does not have grub, so you're not booting the live cd.. what are you trying to accomplish w/ the live cd? | 17:24 |
| tim167 | i select the "optical disk" to boot from, by pressing F9 at boot time... | 17:24 |
| tony_ | do not try ubuntu 10.04 not evan kidding | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | tim167: first thought, is that th edisk isn't burned properly, and it's skipping it, and going to the next boot device (which is your hard drive) and for some reason, you'r egetting grub errors there. | 17:25 |
| domedagen | johnzorn: I don't remember how but i've done it before. May I ask why you want to stay with 10.10? | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | tony_: lol, and why is that? | 17:25 |
| tim167 | hmm, so for some reason this machine doesn't even try to boot from the CD...?strange because before it did... | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | tim167: yeah, the grub error, is coming from your hard drive, did you delete a previous linux install or something? | 17:25 |

| === fabri is now known as MoL0ToV | ||
| KM0201 | tim167: i understand that, i just assumed since you're getting a grub error, you're trying to fix a broken ubuntu install.. my suggestion, re-burn the cd | 17:27 |

| tony_ | yah kinda lol its bad for netbooks thats for shur | 17:28 |
| whatgivesdude | dont make sense for the ISO to be 700mb and say it needs 4.4g | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | if it dont fit.. it wont fit.. you could install to a flash drive, and try to trim it down, then move it over. | 17:29 |
| whatgivesdude | a lie is a lie is a lie | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | tony_: you expect the iso to be 4gb? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis | go read the min sys requireents? | 17:29 |
| whatgivesdude | no but it doesnt need 4.4g to install if the iso is 700mb | 17:29 |

| tony_ | what do u mean? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | whatgivesdude: try installing and see.. I recall doing a full install to a 4gb.. but that left like a few 100mb for ussage | 17:30 |

| Dr_Willis | theres more to sudo then 'some annoying command you type to get root access' also. but most of its other fetures are rarely needed by common desktop users | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | maujhsn: you normally dont run the .bashrc | 17:48 |
| Dr_Willis | maujhsn: its ran by the shell on login. | 17:48 |
| zykotick9 | maujhsn, you're trying to execute ~/.bashrc - thus the permission denied | 17:48 |

| zykotick9 | brandon, the same way you format anything else, there are several option available to you | 17:52 |
| xangua | brandon: right clic-format; you can also do it with gparted | 17:52 |
| brandon | zykotick9, What options are available to me? | 17:53 |
| brandon | xangua, I can't find it when I right click. | 17:53 |
| maujhsn | Dr_Willis Why do I feel that a sudo should be entered first? | 17:53 |
| zykotick9 | brandon, gparted is probably what you are looking for. I'd personally use fdisk then mkfs - but you probably want MS formatting. | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | maujhsn: for editing your own USERS .bashrc? its not... | 17:53 |

| kroq-gar78 | zykotick9: lol | 18:01 |
| photon | yeats: ah thanks. is there any reason why the automatic updates will only provide minor kernel updates, but not major ones? e.g. it will update from 2.6.32-31 to 2.6.32-33, but NOT from 2.6.32 to 2.6.33. | 18:01 |

| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, .bashrc isn't executable | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | zykotick9: it dosent need to be for source... | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | source reads the file as if you entered all the commands into the current shell | 18:15 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, true - but you can't "./bashrc" | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | I never said you could that i saw...... | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | or needed to | 18:16 |
| maujhsn | Dr_Willis First time using this command so yes it has caused some confusion for me! | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | that would most likely spawn stuff to the child shell also.. | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | when in doubt. go spend an hr or 2 reading bash tutorials | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | that guide is a bit annoying in how they ar formating what shell commands are used and how they differ from the text output, and what to enter in a file.. | 18:17 |

| deltafoss | what is the font name for twitter | 19:06 |
| yeats | em: symbolic link | 19:06 |
| zykotick9 | do0, "cd /dev", then "sudo rm cdrom" then "sudo ln -s /dev/sr0 cdrom" should work | 19:06 |
| Xunubi | Could someone possibly give me the name of the default sound mixer for ubuntu 10.04 ? :) | 19:07 |
| em | yeats: so what is the best explanation for your tendency? | 19:07 |
| yeats | em: do you have a support question? | 19:07 |
| em | Nope | 19:07 |
| bullgard4_ | Xunubi: alsamixer | 19:08 |
| do0 | zykotick9, Thank you very much for the help. It worked | 19:08 |
| zykotick9 | do0, glad to help | 19:08 |
| do0 | bullgard4, why are you trying to confuse me please? | 19:08 |
| Xunie` | <Xunie`> KM0201 and it crapped out again. | 19:10 |
| Xunie` | <Xunie`> BTW, I installed this version of ubuntu ages ago, I updated it everytime. | 19:10 |
| Xunie` | <Xunie`> Unplugging the cable and plugging it back in again seems to help. | 19:10 |
| KM0201 | Xunie`: bad ethernet cable maybe? replace it | 19:10 |
| Bilz | i installed ubuntu 11.04 and the look is completely different. in trying to get to system -> administration etc, how!? | 19:11 |
| p3rsist | oldos2er, Thanks ;) | 19:11 |
| chisholm | Bilz: it's at the bottom of the power menu in the top right corner fo the screen | 19:12 |
| Xunie` | KM0201, dunno dude, I didn't replace the cable. Cables usually break without stressing them. | 19:12 |
| Xunie` | After a while, I get this in the kern.log: | 19:12 |
| do0 | zykotick9, thanks again | 19:12 |

| do0 | bye | 19:12 |
| KM0201 | Xunie`: well there you go... link down.. it's losing its connection, that suggests either your cable, or your NIC. | 19:13 |
| home | How can I get networking betweeing win7 and ubuntu 10.10? | 19:13 |
| bullgard4_ | Bilz: After having keyed in your username, look a the bottom line of the screen. There is a menu. There please select "Classical Ubuntu". | 19:13 |
| home | I get an error | 19:13 |
| home | anyway I Can access my win 7 files? | 19:13 |
| home | need to transfer them | 19:13 |
| Bilz | christo_m, cheers | 19:13 |
| Xunubi | <bullgard4_> thanks | 19:13 |
| Bilz | bullgard4, thanks. getting on that :p | 19:13 |
| chisholm | home, I heard of some issue with win 7 and 10.10, i didn't try it myself but it is working with 11.04 | 19:14 |
| home | damn | 19:14 |
| chisholm | home: is there a reason you don't want to use 11.04? | 19:14 |
| home | Yes | 19:15 |
| home | I dont want to upgrade | 19:15 |
| home | might as well get 11.10 | 19:15 |
| chisholm | home: why don't you want to upgrade? | 19:15 |
| home | Well, I dont like unity for one | 19:15 |
| home | You know what/ | 19:15 |
| home | I wil lupgrade | 19:15 |
| chisholm | home: you don't have to use unity | 19:15 |
| home | all my ppas support 11.04 | 19:16 |
| home | I know | 19:16 |
| home | lol | 19:16 |
| FloodBot1 | home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:16 |
| home | Sorry, FloodBot1 | 19:16 |
| home | Anyways, will upgrade to 11.04, hopefully it does not break XD | 19:16 |
| chisholm | home: good luck | 19:16 |
| bullgard4_ | At a quiz I won a USB thumb drive. GParted shows an exclamation mark next to the partition designator /dev/sdb1. Information about /dev/sdb1: "Can't open /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory. Cant initialize 'H.' mlabel: Cannot initialize drive.' What does 'H.' stand for? | 19:17 |
| Xunie` | KM0201, replaced cable, we shall see. | 19:18 |
| Xunie` | BTW, I've only spent some small time on windows, and there it does not do it. | 19:18 |
| KM0201 | Xunie`: hopefully that works. | 19:18 |
| Somelauw | Hi, did anyone try terminator? | 19:18 |
| Xunie` | I forgot to mentioned that. | 19:18 |
| Parameter | bullgard4, do ls /dev/sdb* in terminal | 19:18 |
| Xunie` | Somelauw, "I'll be back." or do you mean some other terminator? | 19:18 |
| KM0201 | Xunie`: i dunno, seems t be the only explanation for something randomly dropping like that | 19:18 |
| Parameter | to see if /dev/sdb1 or any other partitions exist | 19:18 |
| Somelauw | Xunie`: I mean a terminal emulator. | 19:19 |
| Xunie` | :P | 19:19 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: do you ever read the documentation before asking in this channel ? | 19:20 |
| Somelauw | I don't know which terminal to pick. I will try terminator. | 19:20 |
| bullgard4_ | Parameter: '~$ ls /dev/sdb* ; /dev/sdb' | 19:20 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: the documentation covers the partition flags, and the gui displaying partition flags | 19:20 |
| Parameter | bullgard4, /dev/sdb being the output? | 19:20 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: Do you ever read a question before you are challenging it? | 19:20 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as m1h0 | ||
| ikonia | bullgard4_: yes, | 19:21 |
| Parameter | you can partition it with fdisk | 19:21 |
| Xunie` | Wrong button! :( | 19:21 |
| Parameter | sudo fdisk /dev/sdb | 19:21 |
| Parameter | type in m | 19:21 |
| Parameter | to see the options | 19:21 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: research the partition flags | 19:21 |
| bullgard4_ | Parameter: yes. | 19:21 |
| Parameter | and then you'll see that c creates a new partition | 19:21 |
| Parameter | (or some other letter) | 19:21 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: the "h" is for a "hidden" partition | 19:22 |
| Parameter | and then you can use mkfs on a partition to create its filesystem | 19:22 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: There is no 'h'. There is a 'H.' | 19:22 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: h = H | 19:22 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: it's the same letter | 19:23 |
| mongy | you think usb-creator will make a bootable stick from the alternative iso? | 19:24 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: the support resource for gparted is on irc.gnome.org #gparted as noted on gparted.sourceforge.net | 19:25 |
| Somelauw | I have a problems with terminals. For some reason Ctrl+Left prints D in some applications. This happens both with gnome-terminal and terminator. | 19:27 |
| Gredeu | anyone using mainline kernel on natty ? | 19:30 |
| sum1nil | what is the mainline kernel, Gredeu? | 19:31 |
| Gredeu | its a 3.x linux kernel | 19:31 |
| yeats | !mainline | 19:31 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 19:31 |

| zykotick9 | Somelauw, by "some applications" do you mean vi? if so, install vim. | 19:34 |
| etech | Loving Oneiric Alpha 2 - great work! | 19:35 |
| Somelauw | zykotick9: I mean weechat for example. | 19:36 |
| Somelauw | vim works always | 19:36 |
| Mayday | hi | 19:36 |
| qkslvrwolf | Hello! I'm trying to get a netgear wna1000m usb wireless adaptor to work with lucid. | 19:36 |
| w30 | etech, so. give us a one line review!! | 19:36 |
| qkslvrwolf | I've read teh forum here and followed teh instructions | 19:36 |
| qkslvrwolf | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806839 | 19:36 |
| zykotick9 | Somelauw, sorry i haven't heard of that before, the arrow keys in default vi cause the D stuff. good luck. | 19:36 |
| qkslvrwolf | lsmod shows the (apparently) correct driver. | 19:37 |
| Mayday | when i install ubuntu it asked me about partition, what is mount point? | 19:37 |
| qkslvrwolf | lsusb show the netgear adaptor | 19:37 |
| Mayday | i set partition and it ask me about mount point (like /, /boot, /home, etc) | 19:37 |
| qkslvrwolf | but I have no wlan0 in ifconfig. | 19:37 |
| qkslvrwolf | help? | 19:37 |
| ikonia | !install | Mayday | 19:37 |
| ubottu | Mayday: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 19:37 |
| Somelauw | Why use vi if there is vim, elvis and gedit anyway? | 19:38 |
| Mayday | ikonia, just wondering what is mount point | 19:38 |
| bullgard4_ | Parameter: '~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb; ...; This doesn't look like a partition table; This doesn't look like a partition table." Gparted identified this thumb drive as 'File System=fat16' though. | 19:38 |
| Mayday | could i set it as (/) ? | 19:38 |
| zykotick9 | Mayday, you need / for sure. A mount point is the location a paritition gets "mounted" to on root (/). | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Mayday: the document explains it | 19:38 |
| etech | Xubuntu Oneiric A2 running well on my Dell Mini 9 | 19:38 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: it probably doesn't have a valid partition table on it | 19:38 |
| Mayday | if i have Windows on another partition, then i'll be able to create boot-loader, kind of grub, or lilo, right? | 19:38 |
| Parameter | bullgard4_, I think the same as ikonia | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Mayday: grub, yes | 19:39 |
| Parameter | it may not have a pre-existing partition on it | 19:39 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: #gparted in irc.gnome.org is pretty empty. There are 3 names listed including me. | 19:39 |
| home | wow | 19:39 |
| home | the update | 19:39 |
| home | is taking | 19:39 |
| home | too long | 19:39 |
| FloodBot1 | home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:39 |
| Mayday | what about swap? | 19:39 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: thats the support channel though, there is also a forum and a mailing list | 19:39 |
| Mayday | i set mount point as (/) but it asked me about swap too | 19:39 |
| ikonia | Mayday: the document I've linked to explains it | 19:39 |
| valthyx | guys, how large a swap should be? let's say my ram is 4gb | 19:40 |
| Mayday | ikonia, i can't find it there | 19:40 |
| bullgard4_ | Parameter: I will try to partition it myself. | 19:40 |
| ikonia | valthyx: as big as you need it to be, depends on what you need | 19:40 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, if you need hybernation, it's amount of RAM + a little bit. | 19:40 |
| ikonia | Mayday: which document did you read | 19:40 |
| w30 | etech, that's too know; I might inherit one of those. XP doesn't work for shoot on it. | 19:40 |
| Mayday | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation | 19:40 |
| Parameter | bullgard4_, sure, but it is useful to add filesystem(s) after that | 19:40 |
| Parameter | with mkfs | 19:40 |
| Parameter | for example | 19:40 |
| Parameter | mkfs -t msdos /dev/sdb1 | 19:41 |
| bullgard4_ | ikonia: I know that there are forums and mailing lists. And I do use them. | 19:41 |
| Mayday | should swap be in another partition? | 19:41 |
| Parameter | msdos creates a fat16 filesystem | 19:41 |
| bullgard4_ | Parameter: Yes. | 19:41 |
| zykotick9 | Mayday, often, yes | 19:41 |
| Parameter | you can also create linux file systems | 19:41 |
| Parameter | or ntfs, as you wish | 19:41 |
| kroq-gar78 | Mayday: It can. You can also have a swap file | 19:41 |
| ikonia | bullgard4_: that's great, this channel is aimed at ubuntu and you seem to continue to use this channel for generic support | 19:42 |
| ikonia | Mayday: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall | 19:42 |
| qkslvrwolf | Anyone have a moment to spare to help me get my usb wifi set up? | 19:42 |
| ikonia | Mayday: about %50 down | 19:42 |
| Mayday | kroq-gar78, so can i don't create swap partition, install Linux without swap and after installation create swap file? | 19:42 |
| kroq-gar78 | Mayday: theoretically, yes, but I never really use swap files. | 19:42 |
| === KIAaze_ is now known as KIAaze | ||
| zykotick9 | Mayday, creating the swap partition during install is easiest method | 19:43 |

| abhi_69 | i need help about remastersys | 19:44 |
| Mayday | ikonia, step 6 - i'have already Windows installed, so i have to choose "specify partitions manually" | 19:44 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, i made it 4 gb. However, i would not hibernate my windows anymore. I just installed linux (dual booting) | 19:44 |
| valthyx | i could dual boot previously on windows | 19:44 |
| abhi_69 | i made a custom ubuntu 11.04 distro to share with my frnds | 19:44 |
| ikonia | Mayday: and there is a link there too | 19:44 |
| abhi_69 | i want to test it before distribute among my frnds | 19:44 |
| ikonia | abhi_69: please don't discuss that in here | 19:44 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, swap is useful for more then just hibernation | 19:44 |
| ikonia | abhi_69: this channel is only for ubuntu support | 19:44 |
| qkslvrwolf | Does anyone have a moment to help with a usb wireless card? | 19:45 |
| zykotick9 | !anyone | qkslvrwolf | 19:45 |
| ubottu | qkslvrwolf: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 19:45 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, i made a swap partition today after while intalling linux. later i tried to hibernate my windows 7, but couldnt. Do you know why? does it have anything to do with the new swap partition? | 19:46 |
| Mayday | thanks a lot :) | 19:46 |
| ikonia | valthyx: your swap partition needs to be at least as big as your ram to hibernate/suspend | 19:46 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, no sorry i don't know why. But I don't help with MS issues. Good luck. | 19:46 |
| sum1nil | ubuntus doc on swap size: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 19:47 |
| zykotick9 | qkslvrwolf, you need to provide some details. What wireless is it? What have you tried? see "/msg ubottu details" | 19:47 |
| qkslvrwolf | I have a netgear wna1000m usb wireless card I am trying to get to work. I have followed the instruction here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806839. lsmod shows what appears to be the correct driver, lsusb shows the netgear inserted, but wlan0 does not come up, even after a reboot. I don't knw what to do, please help? | 19:47 |
| Somelauw | Is there any terminal emulator that has never problems with any application or keybindings? | 19:47 |
| valthyx | ikonia, does this apply to windows too? | 19:48 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, you meantioned that swap has more usage than just for hibernation. could you tell me what are other usage? | 19:48 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, the gnu/linux swap partition is totally separate from windows | 19:49 |
| qkslvrwolf | not just wlan0, but no wireless device starts on an ifconfig -a | 19:49 |
| ikonia | valthyx: the guys in ##windows can explain that better | 19:49 |
| valthyx | ok, thank you | 19:49 |
| qkslvrwolf | everything i can find online says that there's an led, but I dont' have one, nor do I have one when I plug it in one windows. | 19:50 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, beside hibernation a swap partition (or file) can speed up your system, by freeing physical RAM for more important things. | 19:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | never midn, yes it does | 19:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | :-) | 19:50 |
| commonwealthed | would anyone be able to point me to the proper search terms for a program that i could use to 'encrypt' a bunch of my random data before I upload it to a cloud service? | 19:50 |
| qkslvrwolf | ah | 19:51 |
| qkslvrwolf | removing it and reinserting it gives me something to work with..."rtlwifi: rtl_usb_probe(): Can't init_sw_vars | 19:52 |
| Polah | commonwealth: gpg | 19:52 |
| GinoManVM | Ok..... so I'm on a vm, and I installed some stuff over apt-get and now my unity menu at the top has a different theme.... where do I go to fix it? | 19:52 |
| zykotick9 | commonwealthed, (NOT HELPFUL reply follows) "the cloud" is bad for freedom, YET you are obviously concerned with privacy/freedom as you want to encrypt things. | 19:52 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, thank you for the explanation. Can i increase my swap partition size. Assuming that there is no unallocated partition | 19:52 |
| Polah | commonwealthed: gpg can encrypt things for you. It comes by default | 19:52 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, increasing swap will have little or no increase in performance (assuming you created a reasonably sized one to begin with) | 19:53 |
| SnackWhack | It seems this old computer I've installed Ubuntu has an old graphics card and doesn't support desktop effects. But, I can't find where to turn off desktop effects. I don't see it under system->preferences->appearence. Can I find it someplace else? | 19:53 |
| Polah | SnackWhack: Using Unity or GNOME? | 19:54 |
| Lockzi | Hello, I need some help installing pcre 8+ on Ubuntu 10.04. I've been trying so much that I believe my system is a mess... Any directions anyone? | 19:54 |
| SnackWhack | Polah: Heh, not sure. New to Linux. How3 can I tell? | 19:54 |
| GinoManVM | SnackWhack: Gnome has a bar at the top of the screen and the bottom | 19:55 |
| SnackWhack | Polah: Then it's Gnome | 19:55 |
| Polah | SnackWhack: Unity has a bar on the left with a search box to find things | 19:55 |
| GinoManVM | Unity has just a bar at the top and a OS-X-esque Dock on the side | 19:55 |
| commonwealthed | zykotick9 thats, i have exactly the same sentiment as you, however I am looking for a temporary/transition of my data. i dont want evil(tm) to get me on way through... | 19:55 |
| commonwealthed | Polah I thought that was only for emails? | 19:55 |
| GinoManVM | commonwealthed: since when is Evil a trademark? | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | commonwealthed, gpg can encrypt files as well | 19:56 |
| Polah | SnackWhack: System > Administration > Login Screen, unlock it and change the session part to "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)" | 19:56 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, thanks, i created about the size of my ram | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, that should be fine then | 19:56 |
| GinoManVM | so why do I not have the default theme on the unity menubar? | 19:56 |
| zykotick9 | valthyx, most of the time swap is barely used at all - you can verify with the cli command "free -m" | 19:57 |
| Polah | commonwealth: GPG can sign, encrypt, decrypt a variety of things with passwords and keys | 19:57 |
| commonwealthed | wow i was completely unaware of that! thank you so much guys, heading for google | 19:57 |
| SnackWhack | Polah: Then reboot? | 19:57 |
| GinoManVM | SnackWhack: yup, reboot, shutdown -r now | 19:57 |
| Polah | SnackWhack: Logging out, clicking your username and then changing "Ubuntu Classic" at the bottom to "Ubuntu Classic (No Effects)" then logging in again should do for now | 19:57 |
| Polah | commonwealthed: Just do man gpg in a terminal | 19:57 |
| valthyx | zykotick9, thanks | 19:58 |
| commonwealthed | Polah thanks! | 19:59 |
| miikael | how do i configure samba to not ask for password when trying to open the network resource from a windows machine? | 20:00 |
| cdrive | I need some help: ./uplink: symbol lookup error: ./uplink: undefined symbol: __glutRoot | 20:00 |
| Polah | commonwealthed: If you want a fairly simple way to encrypt then use "gpg -c <file>", it'll ask for a password and then encrypt it using that. Then gpg -d <file> and entering your passphrase should decrypt it. For more secure encryption and signing you'll want to generate a key and use that | 20:00 |
| zykotick9 | miikael, samba shares things to windows/linux clients. If connecting to a windows box requires a password, you'd need to configure that on the windows machine. | 20:01 |
| SnackWhack | Had to reboot anyway, screen went haywire | 20:02 |
| Lockzi | Is there a way to verify if a package is installed? | 20:02 |
| commonwealthed | Polah: pardon my ignorance, but is 'signing' like a checksum? does that work the same as "gpg -c"? | 20:02 |
| miikael | zykotick9: you get me all wrong, the shared directory is on my linux machine, but it ask for user/pass when i try open it in windows | 20:02 |

| iceroot_ | is there something to stream the local audio to a remote-system? e.g. playing youtube on the notebook and hearing the sound on another machine. | 20:06 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, pulse is capable of doing that. I've never tried it myself, but know it's possible. | 20:07 |
| Galvatron | zfe: Why are you asking? | 20:08 |
| markke | sum1nil: any issues with common software like Flashnot working properly on Firefox, etc? I'm thinking of re-installing to 64-bit coz PAE kernel is too buggy for me. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. | 20:08 |
| SnackWhack | maybe I should install XFCE. If I do, can I switch back to Gnome easily? | 20:08 |
| zfe | Galvatron, how did you install? | 20:08 |
| zfe | refit + cd? | 20:08 |
| fwaokda | There is a site that has a folder full of images... eg. http://lookatme.com/images/towns/pics/32234.jpg -- anyone know how i can download all images in that folder? | 20:09 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, this article MIGHT help http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/582-stream-music-wirelessely-using-pulseaudio-server-device-chooser | 20:09 |

| Lockzi | I am running Ubuntu 10.04. The goal is to update PCRE library to version 8+ for use with PHP. Running <pcre-config --version> it returns 8.13. PHP still returns 7.9 though. How can I fix this? | 20:09 |
| Galvatron | zfe: No, I mean't why are you asking. I don't have a Mac yet, but I've almost made up my mind to switch from Ubuntu PC to a Macbook Pro. | 20:09 |
| zfe | umm, i don't know | 20:10 |
| Polah | SnackWhack, If you install XFCE GNOME should be untouched and thus you can select either as a session whenever you want | 20:10 |
| zfe | macosx is cool | 20:10 |
| markke | Anybody else here using 64-bit version of Ubuntu Natty? Any problems on an Intel i5 laptop or any laptop in general. Want to stop using PAE kernel coz I'm getting lots of problems from it. | 20:10 |
| sum1nil | well yes and no.. on occassion I get blips in a paused flash strream.. but I am using the 64 bit release now and it seems better | 20:10 |
| Polah | markke: What kind of problems? | 20:10 |
| SnackWhack | Polah: perfect.. Installing now | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | Galvatron, poor decision, enjoy your non-freedom box | 20:10 |
| markke | sum1nil: Thanks. Aside from Flash what other issues have you noticed? | 20:10 |
| iceroot_ | markke: normally there is no difference in i386 and amd64 for drivers and the hardware-support | 20:10 |
| === rafase282 is now known as Rafase282 | ||
| markke | Polah: It stops right in the middle of boot is one. Sometimes splash runs but doesn't get to gdm, and others | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, i hope one day your statement above is true | 20:11 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: if the driver is opensource there is normally not a problem because you can build it on amd64 | 20:11 |
| sum1nil | none really have used ubunut for a number of years on and off outside of the 'unity' look and feel it; it's the same kind of reliablity I expect from ubuntu | 20:12 |
| Galvatron | zykotick9: Considering quality, battery life, Compiz-like interface and a strong base of Adobe software, I have no better choice. Ubuntu will probably stay as a secondary OS. | 20:12 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: bigger problems are flash, java and other closed-source software | 20:12 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, true, but many hardware drivers are NOT open source | 20:12 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: many is a bit high in the current time i think | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, i don't have problems with hardware or software, but my hardware purchases are carefully selected | 20:13 |
| markke | iceroot_: Thanks, I'm on an Intel machine with 8GB of RAM. I just want to use all 8GB of it not limited to 3.2. PAE worked very well on my Intel desktop with 4GB, but for some reason, it's not working as I expected on the laptop. | 20:13 |
| iceroot_ | markke: pae is a bad idea | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | markke, PAE is a "hack" it's 3-6% slower | 20:13 |
| zykotick9 | markke, with 8GB RAM, go 64bit! | 20:14 |
| markke | well that was my next option | 20:14 |
| iceroot_ | markke: with more then 1GB go amd64 | 20:14 |
| iceroot_ | markke: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117 | 20:14 |
| markke | well it looks more like i'm going 64bit then | 20:14 |
| yeats | markke: +1 # go for 64-bit - I've never had issues | 20:14 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, that doesn't make sense - with 4GB i could understand it | 20:15 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: read the article to see why you need amd64 with more then 1gb ram | 20:15 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: http://blog.linuxolution.org/archives/117 | 20:15 |

| schijnndraeff | I had installed KDE on my system, decided I didn't like it, and uninstalled it. Now DVD and audio playback aren't working. I assume I uninstalled something I shouldn't have. Can anyone help? | 20:53 |

| ajaydarez | the background. like when you open a folder, you have a background right. i need to change it | 20:58 |
| ajaydarez | i know. but i want to customize this alone seperately | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zfe: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 20:58 |

| zfe | ActionParsnip, how can i do it? | 20:59 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | I have an e-sata drive that will not be auto-recognized by linux unless it is connected prior to the computer being started, is there a command to force linux to check for new devices and register any changes as a result of that check? | 20:59 |

| ActionParsnip | ajaydarez: do you mean the window decorator? | 21:00 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Check your dmesg after plugging in the drive hot. | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | I_AM_IN_ROOT, it all depends on your motherboard i'm afraid - mine doesn't support hot-plugging esata either :( some do. | 21:00 |
| Polah | prashant_: sudo rmdir <dir> or sudo rm -r <dir> if it has contents | 21:00 |
| guntbert | prashant_: VERY careful!!! | 21:00 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: If you see a message about it, it's a userspace issue. If not, you just can't, like zykotick9 said. | 21:00 |
| guntbert | Polah: please don't give such advice without warnings | 21:01 |
| zykotick9 | \l, nothing shows up in dmesg in my case | 21:01 |
| oCean | fwaokda: try wget $Site -P ~/Desktop/pictures | 21:01 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | zykotick9, it does support hot swapping sata but it does not register in linux | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | zfe: as you have failed to MD5 test, you have no way of knowing the data is complete or consistent | 21:01 |
| Galvatron | ajaydarez: Or GNOME Color Chooser > Global colors > Entry fields > normal > Background | 21:01 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: If it doesn't register in dmesg, get a newer kernel. | 21:01 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | \l, I'm on 3.0.1 | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | I_AM_IN_ROOT: it may support it but possibly not in Linux is the point. | 21:01 |
| prashant_ | guntbert, Polah thanks it worked | 21:01 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Did you roll your own? | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | I_AM_IN_ROOT: 3.0.1 of what? | 21:02 |
| \l | ActionParsnip: That's his kernel version. | 21:02 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | \l, yes | 21:02 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Then you messed up a compile time option, I'm sure. | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | I_AM_IN_ROOT, run dmesg, plug the drive in/turn in on - then run dmesg again - do you see anything about sdX added? | 21:02 |
| \l | I_AM_IN_ROOT: Try with a vanilla kernel. | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | ActionParsnip, 3.0.1 is a kernel | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | I_AM_IN_ROOT: then you are using an unofficial kernel, oneiric or a home compiled kernel, none of those are supported here | 21:02 |
| ActionParsnip | zykotick9: maybe not ;), just wanted to clarify | 21:03 |
| zfe | ActionParsnip, yes | 21:03 |
| zfe | md5 is ok | 21:03 |
| guntbert | prashant_: you do realize that it is very rarely necessary to remove some root owned folder? | 21:03 |
| ajaydarez | thanks that worked like a charm! | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | zfe: good, please test BEFORE using the file | 21:03 |
| cdrive | What is the default root password | 21:03 |
| I_AM_IN_ROOT | whatever, thanks for nothing | 21:03 |
| oCean | cdrive: there is none | 21:03 |
| zfe | ActionParsnip, ok, got it, but i still have the problem | 21:03 |
| ajaydarez | is there anyway i can set the transperancy? | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | cdrive: there isn't one | 21:03 |
| rww | !root | cdrive | 21:03 |
| ubottu | cdrive: 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 | 21:03 |
| cdrive | rww: I need to use root | 21:03 |
| cdrive | so shush | 21:03 |

| tony_ | weird | 21:04 |
| === dougl is now known as I\O-error | ||
| rww | cdrive: The password hash for root is set to "!" by default. This does not match any password, so it is not possible to log in as root with a username and password by default. This channel does not provide help with setting a root password. Use sudo instead. | 21:04 |
| coz_ | I_AM_IN | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | cdrive: use: sudo -i | 21:04 |
| coz_ | darn | 21:04 |
| guntbert | !sudo | cdrive | 21:04 |
| ubottu | cdrive: 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 | 21:04 |

| cdrive | I need to use su -, cd /, and touch /forcefsck | 21:04 |
| oCean | cdrive: no you don't | 21:05 |
| rww | what precisely is wrong with sudo touch /forcefsck | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | cdrive | 21:05 |
| ubottu | cdrive: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 21:05 |
| \l | cdrive: "sudo touch /forcefsk" | 21:05 |

| lynx____ | How do I USE desktopflickrorganizer or FlickrEdit? | 21:06 |
| lynx____ | okay | 21:06 |
| coz_ | lynx____, I dont have either installed,, did you install these via apt? | 21:06 |
| lynx____ | I installed these from sourceforge/javaforge | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Galvatron: and double price for the same hardware ;) | 21:07 |
| coz_ | lynx____, and do you have the link for that? | 21:07 |
| lynx____ | but I did install mono to use one of them | 21:07 |
| lynx____ | yes | 21:07 |
| Galvatron | Galvatron: It's a big myth. | 21:07 |
| coz_ | lynx____, please give me the link so I can take a look at it | 21:07 |
| Galvatron | ActionParsnip: It's a big myth. | 21:07 |
| \l | Galvatron: Self highlight? | 21:07 |

| lynx____ | http://code.google.com/p/dfo/ | 21:08 |
| coz_ | lynx____, there is also an application named frogr | 21:08 |
| lynx____ | where do I get frogr? And does it actually work for other accounts | 21:08 |
| coz_ | lynx____, you did notice the note that the project is no longer un der active development on that link...yes? | 21:08 |
| lynx____ | http://flickredit.javaforge.com | 21:08 |
| lynx____ | http://code.google.com/p/dfo/ | 21:08 |
| Polah | Galvatron: $200 for 4GB of DDR3@1333MHz isn't really a myth. I doubt super special magical Apple RAM that is different from the 8GB DDR3@1600MHz that I got for only $60? | 21:08 |
| coz_ | lynx____, hold on I will find frogr | 21:08 |
| lynx____ | Yes | 21:08 |
| lynx____ | But shouldn't the programs work for other photo sets than your own account? | 21:09 |
| iceroot_ | wikipedia (german) says that ext4 cant have 512byte blocks. so if /boot is ext4 and i want the bootsector, bs=512 is wrong? | 21:09 |
| iceroot_ | wrong, not /boot, the whole drive of course | 21:09 |
| coz_ | lynx____, not sure I have not installed that and I probably wouldnt since it is no longer under development however i believe this is a ppa for frogr which i have used http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/desktop-flickr-uploader-frogr-gets-updated/ | 21:09 |
| lynx____ | should I get using git or http | 21:09 |
| Galvatron | But in general, you won;t find a better mobile laptops or all-in-ones for the same price. | 21:09 |
| Polah | Galvatron: Eh, the only thing I like about them is the good battery life, hardly worth paying three times as much or so for | 21:10 |
| Galvatron | In the case of 17" iMac, the IPS display takes something like a half of the price. | 21:10 |
| Galvatron | *27 | 21:10 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot_: What are you trying to accomplish? | 21:11 |
| coz_ | lynx____, hold on that ppa is not working let me find another option for it | 21:11 |
| rww | ActionParsnip, Polah, Galvatron: #ubuntu-offtopic for Mac pricing discussion, please :) | 21:11 |
| guntbert | !ot | Galvatron Polah | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Galvatron Polah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:11 |
| Galvatron | Sorry | 21:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rww: i stopped ages ago ;_ | 21:11 |
| iceroot_ | Jordan_U: does "ext4 doesnt support 512 byte blocks" mean that my bootsector is bigger then the first 512bytes on the device? | 21:12 |
| lynx____ | I found frogr at http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/frogr/0.6/ | 21:12 |
| crankharder | not that it matters much, but if my 10.4 LTS server instance is fully updated shouldn't 'lsb_release -a' return 10.4.4 and not 10.4.3? | 21:12 |
| Night-Hacks | why $top shows Zero memory to not active process ? | 21:12 |
| coz_ | lynx____, I believe you can also use git for it git clone git://gitorious.org/frogr/mainline.git | 21:12 |
| lynx____ | If I wanted to download a photo set from someone else's account, frogr will do it? | 21:13 |
| lynx____ | Yeah, I have git also | 21:13 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot_: No. Ext4 has one 512 byte sector reserved as a boot sector. But you really shouldn't be installing grub to the boot sector of a partition rather than the mbr + embedded area. What is your end goal? | 21:13 |
| lynx____ | What is mono? Does it allow you to run .NET 2.5/3.0/3.5 Windows executables? | 21:13 |
| coz_ | lynx____, I have not tried that however cant hurt to give it a whirl it can always be uninstalled if you keep the source directory | 21:13 |
| lynx____ | desktopflickrorganizer requires it and is an .exe file | 21:13 |
| lynx____ | the .exe began with MZ | 21:14 |
| Polah | lynx___: Mono is an implementation of .NET for Linux | 21:14 |
| lynx____ | also, it came with some packages that ended in -cil | 21:14 |
| iceroot_ | Jordan_U: i dont want to install grub, i was just reading the article about the blocksize and was interested what that means for the mbr + partition layout which are normally stored in the first 512 bytes | 21:14 |
| iceroot_ | lynx____: yes | 21:14 |
| Polah | Well, FF5, FF6 and Chrome all fail to load up websites I've logged in to. Guess it's time to go and try out on 32-bit again | 21:14 |
| lynx____ | explain what that means | 21:14 |
| lynx____ | .NET for linux could mean anything... .NET programs compiled in linux that also run in windows, runs .NET programs compiled in Windows | 21:15 |
| Polah | iceroot_: I wouldn't think the MBR would be formatted with a filesystem. Thought, I could be wrong | 21:15 |
| ActionParsnip | polah: very weird | 21:15 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot_: The structure of a filesystem has nothing to do with the structure of the partition table. As far as the filesystem can see, the first sector of its partition is the first sector of the "device". | 21:15 |
| Night-Hacks | yes | 21:15 |
| M_3arab | how to install 3g usb in ubuntu 11.04 | 21:16 |
| iceroot_ | Jordan_U: so the first 512bytes are not stored in ext4 format as Polah said | 21:16 |
| lynx____ | is mono for .NET programs compiled in linux that also run in windows, runs .NET programs compiled in Windows | 21:16 |
| ajaydarez | hi . when i apply a theme, the top panel becomes absurd. The center does not have any colour and the sides ( the places where the time shows, the application menu is etc) becomes the colour of the theme. Is there a way to say tell ubuntu to not apply the theme to the panel alone? | 21:16 |
| lynx____ | In other words, if I compile a program using Visual Studio 2008, using .NET dlls version 3.5, the exe will run in mono? | 21:16 |
| ActionParsnip | M_3arab: run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 21:17 |
| Polah | lynx____, it runs programs that use the .NET framework... I'm sure it would work for programs that were compiled in Linux that use the .NET framework although I doubt anyone would use the .NET framework if they're compiling in Linux... | 21:17 |
| lynx____ | hello? | 21:17 |

| Jordan_U | iceroot_: The first 512 bytes of a drive contain the mbr. The first byte of the first partition usually starts 1 MiB into the drive. So the first sector of the ext filesystem is not the same as the first sector of the drive. | 21:17 |

| tony_ | haha yah lol | 21:29 |

| Galvatron | _luca_: As for server, you might be interested in stability oriented versions, that is Debian Stable and Ubuntu 11.04 LTS. | 21:30 |
| Polah | Galvatron: I don't think 11.04 is LTS | 21:30 |

| Galvatron | _luca_: *10.04 LTS of course. | 21:30 |
| linn00b | I think I just need to remove this repository | 21:31 |
| linn00b | how do I do that | 21:31 |
| Galvatron | Typo of course | 21:31 |
| Polah | linn00b: Hmm, I just looked it up and it certainly seems to be there | 21:31 |
| linn00b | O.o | 21:31 |
| linn00b | what is it? | 21:31 |
| tony_ | i hate ubuntu 10.04 lts it killed my computer literly | 21:31 |
| linn00b | O.o | 21:32 |
| KPiN | lol, it looks like some apple product | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | linn00b: use software centre | 21:32 |
| KPiN | Ubuntu has lost its real look :) | 21:32 |
| something | anyone have a link to help with getting wireless cards working? | 21:32 |
| Polah | tony_: Probably because you made a mistake | 21:32 |
| tony_ | nope | 21:32 |
| mrdeb | kpin, what do you mean | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | KPiN: use classic desktop then, you don't HAVE to use Unity | 21:32 |
| mrdeb | yes you do | 21:33 |
| mrdeb | with next one | 21:33 |
| tony_ | i installed it anf every thing ank my comoputer had the hardest time booting and going to boot menu | 21:33 |
| KPiN | mrdeb the newest ubuntu's look and feel is like apple product. As if I'm using Mac, which sucks. | 21:33 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: Unity is heavily based on Mac OS X | 21:33 |
| Polah | mrdeb: Not if you have another environment installed, or install another one. You are by no means locked into using Unity. | 21:33 |
| KPiN | It's why I removed it | 21:33 |
| KPiN | Ubuntu was so damn good, but not anymore :( | 21:33 |
| mrdeb | yes kpin, but you can install something else | 21:34 |
| linn00b | ActionParsnip: I've brought it up... and I don't see anything about nilarimogard | 21:34 |
| tony_ | i have the 10.10 didnt liek 11.04 and really didnt like 10.04 | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | linn00b: its in Edit -> software sources (I believe) | 21:34 |
| mrdeb | ubuntu 1010 is the last classic fast ubuntu | 21:34 |
| openbees | KPiN: what u did to him? | 21:34 |
| openbees | KPin : did u beat him? | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kpin: use a different DE | 21:34 |
| NigelS | fwaokda: did you fix your script? | 21:35 |
| KPiN | I mean it's free and all that, but still.. I'm sure I'm not alone that doesn't like the ubuntu new look and feel | 21:35 |
| Tommy | all of the sudden my touchpad mouse won't scroll when i drag my finger along the edge, and there's no longer an option for it in the mouse settings... what the hell can i do | 21:35 |
| Polah | KPiN: So use a different environment. | 21:35 |
| Galvatron | mrdeb: I don't find it any slower than 10.10. All I had to do was downgrading the unstable/development Compiz back to stable version, via a PPA. | 21:35 |
| KPiN | I will | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | kpin: you aren't and it's offtopic here, this is support only | 21:36 |
| KPiN | I'll probably get used to FreeBSD | 21:36 |
| Tommy | before rebooting it worked and there was an option for it | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | kpin: why not install XFCE or KDE and stay on Ubuntu..... | 21:36 |
| KPiN | hmm, I can change its look and feel ActionParsnip? | 21:37 |
| crog | KPin: Or you could choose Ubuntu Classic when you log in. | 21:37 |
| rww | or GNOME Classic :\ | 21:37 |
| rww | sorry yeah, Ubuntu | 21:37 |
| openbees | KPiN : i used gnome classic and i am just enjoying it . how can u say its not good | 21:37 |
| openbees | ? | 21:37 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: BSD has the same interfaces Linux has, so no need to chane the whole system. | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kpin: you can sidestep unity and use kde | 21:37 |
| linn00b | Hey I''ve gone into Software sources and tried to remove this nilarimogard/webup8 business but when I perform Update Manager I still get this error about repository indexes "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/nilarimogard/webup8/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 21:37 |

| tensorpudding | if you want to avoid having to switch to gnome 3 for a while, you could use debian | 21:38 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: GNOME is VERY customizable. It can look and work either like KDE/Windows 7 or like Mac OS X. | 21:38 |
| KPiN | KDE sounds better | 21:39 |
| KPiN | if i wanted it to feel like win7 or mac OS i would use the original OS | 21:39 |
| KPiN | you know? | 21:39 |
| tensorpudding | gnome 2 is on the way out though | 21:39 |
| tensorpudding | kde 4 feels a lot like windows | 21:39 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: Of course I mean GNOME 2, as GNOME 3 is yet to mature. | 21:39 |
| openbees | ya i agree switching to gnome classic is best thing in ubuntu 11.04 :) | 21:40 |
| KPiN | :DDD | 21:40 |
| KPiN | Very well | 21:40 |
| * ActionParsnip uses LXDE, not changed in sooo long :) | 21:40 | |
| KPiN | I'm sure you all agree on me that nothing beats the classic, it has an unique feel. | 21:40 |
| tensorpudding | no | 21:41 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: KDE is a bloatware. It takes 550MB of RAM just for itself, offering a little or nothing more than GNOME. | 21:41 |
| tensorpudding | classic is lame | 21:41 |
| tony_ | look at my computer it is ubuntu 10.10 and look at what it looks like windows 7 | 21:41 |
| tony_ | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/screenshotdhh.png/ | 21:41 |
| KPiN | I aint worried Galvatron bro, I got 3GB DDR3 :P | 21:41 |
| KPiN | And none of it is being used | 21:41 |
| KPiN | hahaha | 21:41 |
| openbees | or if are a true love lover just like me wait for ubuntu 11.10 for GNOME 3 .... | 21:41 |
| tensorpudding | jesus | 21:41 |
| discostu2 | is there anyway i can force ubuntu to use vga instead of my nvidia drivers? card acceleration on my 7300 is broken and would not let me boot any os gui, but it let me back into win xp once i forced vga from safe mode | 21:41 |
| discostu2 | *force before boot | 21:42 |
| tensorpudding | that's acid for my eyeballs | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | galvatron: I have kde on my server, i have transmission, vlc, fatrat and samba running and its using 590Mb, which is fine | 21:42 |
| Galvatron | ActionParsnip: KDE 4.6.x/4.7? | 21:42 |
| Polah | I was under the impression that KDE was lighter than GNOME | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | galvatron: whatever is in oneiric | 21:42 |
| KPiN | The developers simply need to leave ubuntu in its classic feel to default | 21:42 |
| === bastlfreenode is now known as thebastl | ||
| openbees | KPiN : love takes sacrifices my dear... | 21:43 |
| KPiN | if any developer is here, they'll listen to me ;p | 21:43 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: 4.7, I think | 21:43 |
| KPiN | openbees i agree | 21:43 |
| linn00b | If I download Xmonad, what extensions should I also get? | 21:43 |
| rww | KPiN: I highly doubt it. | 21:43 |
| tensorpudding | gnome 2 is dead | 21:43 |
| tensorpudding | why should ubuntu keep it alive | 21:43 |
| ActionParsnip | galvatron: my LXDE based lappy running pidgin, chromium daily build and gmail-checker is using 290Mb | 21:43 |
| Tommy | all of the sudden my touchpad mouse won't scroll when i drag my finger along the edge, and there's no longer an option for it in the mouse settings... what the hell can i do | 21:43 |
| Tommy | before rebooting it worked and there was an option for it | 21:44 |
| rww | anyways, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Discussion of GNOME 2 and what Ubuntu should use as its default UI and how various desktop environments compare is not Ubuntu technical support. #ubuntu-offtopic exists :) | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tommy: what make and model laptop? | 21:44 |
| Galvatron | KPiN: Canonical plans to make 2000 million users in 4 years, so they must make Ubu eye-candy and user-friendly. | 21:44 |
| KPiN | Anyway guys, I have a powerful machine and ubuntu runs so good in it, it was just the feel i dont like, sorry for the hassle | 21:44 |
| linn00b | exit | 21:44 |
| Polah | galvatron: Do you mean 200 million? | 21:44 |
| Tommy | ActionParsnip: sony vaio, vgn-sz340p | 21:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tommy: are there any bugs reported for it? | 21:45 |
| Tommy | ActionParsnip: it worked wonderfully for the longest time, just booted up now and tried scrolling and the mouse just moves downward | 21:45 |
| Tommy | ActionParsnip: not that i could find | 21:45 |
| Galvatron | Polah: It's what Shuttleworth declarred on Natty launch. | 21:45 |
| JoeR1 | Ok I have a Pentium D (dual core 64 @like 2.4 or so) with a Geforce 9400 and 1080 MKV files decode poorly with some choppyness on my system, The CPU should be more than enough to handle any 1080 recording and I have a wholly unnecessary 2 gig of ram, any suggestions for improving playback quality of MKV 1080 files? | 21:45 |
| tejak85 | does any one know how to connect usb modem in backtrack 5 which was based on ubuntu | 21:45 |

| ActionParsnip | kpin: as long as you want | 21:46 |
| discostu2 | is there anyway i can force ubuntu to use vga instead of my nvidia drivers before boot? card acceleration on my 7300 has become faulty giving blue lines behind behind the dell log at startup and often a screen full of exclamation marks (!!!!!!!!). this prevents me from booting any os gui, but it let me back into win xp once i forced vga from safe mode. | 21:46 |

| johntramp | hi. are there any simple cli apps which i can use to show how many unread mails are in a pop3 account? | 21:47 |
| rww | johntramp: are you using Ubuntu or Debian? | 21:47 |
| nnull | when installing flash i get this screen that pops up "debconf on user" | 21:47 |
| nnull | any diea???? | 21:47 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: What player(s)? Are you using GPU acceleration (vdpau)? Do you have the latest drivers fro nVidi website? | 21:47 |
| nnull | every release some new random problem to tackle lol | 21:47 |
| johntramp | rww: ubuntu, not that it really matters | 21:47 |
| rww | johntramp: please don't ask Ubuntu support questions in #debian, then. It's against their channel rules and rude. | 21:47 |
| nnull | and it never finishes installing my packagem just hangs tilll i kill it | 21:47 |
| Galvatron | discostu2: I guess nVidia-related channels mught be a better choice | 21:48 |
| openbees | KPiN :23 hours in my case after that i was slept :) | 21:48 |
| KPiN | 23 hours?? that's not alot man | 21:48 |
| KPiN | haha | 21:48 |
| tony_ | has any one tryed redhat? | 21:48 |
| johntramp | the question isn't specific to any os, and i use both ubuntu and debian | 21:48 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron - Latest Nvidia driver are incompatible with my kernel, not that it matter since this problem existed before the kernel upgrade anyway | 21:48 |
| discostu2 | Galvatron: nvidia are responsible for the drivers, not enabling and disabling them on different os preboot | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kpin: it can be as long as you want | 21:49 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, Kaffine, Mplayer, Parole and Gnome Media Player | 21:49 |

| tony_ | has anyone tryed redhat linux | 21:50 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, Xubuntu - kernel 3.0.1 | 21:50 |
| tony_ | ???????????? | 21:50 |
| rww | luigi: #ubuntu is +f #ubuntu-unregged. during spam attacks, the channel is set +r. as a result, all unregistered users are redirected to #ubuntu-unregged, where they are asked questions to demonstrate they are human | 21:50 |

| tony_ | ok then | 21:51 |
| tony_ | just wondren | 21:51 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: This is strange. I have Ubuntu 11.04 running on a custom kernel 3.0.0, Pentium IV 3,GHz (Northwood, 512KB L2, HT, FSB533) and 7300GT and I can easily run a 12Mbps 108-p AVI. | 21:52 |

| Lockzi | Hello, I need some help with getting PHP to use the correct PCRE. Running "pcretest -C" returns PCRE version 8.13 2011-08-16. But "phpinfo();" returns PCRE Library Version7.8 2008-09-05. Any ideas? | 21:53 |
| luigi | w30 lrn2 // | 21:53 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: Do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? | 21:53 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, You understand my confusion then | 21:53 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, yes | 21:53 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: What version of nVidia driver do you have? | 21:54 |
| Flannel | Lockzi: I'm not sure this is the best room for it. Have you tried ##php? What version of Ubuntu are you running? | 21:54 |
| openbees | Lockzi : offtopic try #php | 21:54 |
| Lockzi | Flannel: I am running 10.04 server | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | joer1: if you use the official kernel is it ok? We cannot support non-official kernels here | 21:54 |
| Lockzi | Flannel: openbees, I'll try there. Thanks | 21:54 |
| etph987 | I'm running a server as a main desktop I had a raid running, became annoying and got rid of the majority of hard drives. I took out the raid pci card and now when i boot the server it takes up to 4 minutes to get to the bootloader anyone know a fix? | 21:55 |
| Flannel | Lockzi: I think you've added something on afterwards. I'm on 10.04 and my pcretest returns PCRE version 7.8 2008-09-05 | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | etph987: why use server as a desktop? Makes no sense | 21:55 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, I have notice that MKV's seem to be more demanding then AVI's or any other format - I do not have the Nvidia drivers because they are NOT compatible with my kernel . . . or perhaps my kernel configuration, wither way they crash my kernel | 21:55 |
| smithy | Ola | 21:55 |
| etph987 | ActionParsnip: only computer right now | 21:56 |
| Lockzi | Flannel: That is correct. I downloaded the source and compiled it. Ubuntu 11 has a higher PECR version, and there are no backports of PECR for 10.04 | 21:56 |
| openbees | LockZi : welcome as always | 21:56 |
| Lockzi | openbees: IRC says #php Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited | 21:56 |
| etph987 | ActionParsnip: buying a new laptop soon | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | joer1: I'd ask in #kernel or #linux | 21:57 |
| ejv | Lockzi: isn't it ##php | 21:57 |
| === boten_emma is now known as em | ||
| Flannel | Lockzi: So, you need to get PHP to use the compiled version. ##php is the correct channel for that. | 21:57 |
| Lockzi | ejv: IRC now says ##php Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services | 21:57 |
| etph987 | ActionParsnip: do i need to uninstall something related to the raid like a driver? | 21:57 |
| Flannel | Lockzi: You need to be registered and identified, /msg nickserv help register | 21:57 |
| ejv | Lockzi: well then, you know what must be done ;) | 21:57 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: Then you have only the Nouveau open-source driver with a performance completely uncomparable to Forceware. I would still recommend trying 285.03 beta, and/or getting back to 11.04 if you run Oneiric. | 21:57 |
| tony_ | i wonder if u can stick ubuntu on a ipod totch | 21:58 |
| Lockzi | Cool, I'll register and check with ##php - thanks all! | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | etph987: if yuo run: lspci then use the identifying line to find guides | 21:58 |
| FerretWithASpork | Hi everyone.. So I was just casually using my ubuntu desktop, and we had a big storm and the power went out.. and now it only boots into CLI >.< I had this issue not long ago when I was messing with my xorg.conf so I replaced the xorg.conf with my old working backup and it still won't start. I can't really troubleshoot at all because I don't know what the issue is; is there any way to have the system check what's broken? | 21:58 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, I wouldn't - I don't have any kernel questions, if there is a #How-to-make-your-system-decode-MKVs-better I suppose I could join that but I highly doubt this is a kernel question or even a matter that needs GPU acceleration since my CPU should be more than strong enough | 21:58 |

| tony_ | yah it was called ipod linux or rockbox | 22:00 |

| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, I installed from deb's but this is all trivial since none of my questions are about the flippin' kernel, I am asking about config option related to media player or codecs | 22:01 |

| ejv | it's funny, most of the software I use on windows is what i use under ubuntu, filezilla, pidgin, firefox, chrome, openoffice, etc. | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | pici: can you educate Joer1 on the policy on none official kernels please | 22:04 |
| etph987 | ActionParsnip it just comes up with a blinking underscore for 4 minutes goes blank then comes up with the bootloader | 22:04 |
| JoeR1 | ActionParsnip, You are a fool | 22:04 |
| FerretWithASpork | After a power-outage I can't get ubuntu to boot past the terminal. Is there any way to figure out what's going wrong? I recently had this happen while messing with my xorg.conf so I restored by working backup but that didn't help. | 22:04 |
| nnull | fixed that bug, what you do is, reinstall, remove ubuntu software centre, spit on it, and rely on apt-get like its 1999, bug fixed! | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | joer1: I think you will find, not | 22:04 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: Again - is it the same with the generic kernel, and where have you taken this 3.0.1 from? | 22:04 |
| ejv | JoeR1: just tell them you are using the default kernel, then ask away :) | 22:05 |
| ejv | obligatory: http://xkcd.com/806/ | 22:05 |
| etph987 | anyone know how to install firefox 7 in ubuntu, only way i could get it working was through a shortcut, wasn't in the synaptic manager or software centre | 22:05 |
| FerretWithASpork | JoeR1: I'm confused.. you seem to be asking about media players and everyone's talking about kernels... If you're using VLC right click in the video window and you can choose different deinterlace modes that might make things look a bit better but there's no real way to increase the quality of a video file I don't think. | 22:06 |
| glebihan | etph987, you can install it via the firefox-next ppa | 22:06 |

| Polah | etph987: Look up the firefox-next ppa | 22:06 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron - I am going to try to remain calm so please listen and perhaps you will understand - this issue existed BEFORE I upgraded kernels when I was using the most recent Nvidia drivers and GPU acceleration was enabled, I am not going to dicsuss my kernel because it is not the question I have. I want to know if you can direct me to a media player that perhaps has a very small resource footprint or perhaps some codec related opti | 22:08 |
| JoeR1 | ons that might improve playback quality. | 22:08 |

| urlin2u | FerretWithASpork, have you tried start-x at the terminal? | 22:10 |
| etph987 | found out their getting rid of the classic gnome environment in 11.10 | 22:11 |
| rww | etph987: #ubuntu+1 for oneiric discussion and support, pleaser | 22:12 |
| rww | s/r$// | 22:12 |
| FerretWithASpork | urlin2u: I had not. That sheds some light on the issue though. It says Fatal server error: no screens found.. I have screens defined in my xorg.conf (2 actually; dual monitor setup)... please don't tell me my video card might've burnt out O,o | 22:12 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| urlin2u | FerretWithASpork, actaully run as startx | 22:12 |
| FerretWithASpork | urlin2u: I did ;) start-x did nothing but it said to use startx | 22:12 |
| FerretWithASpork | also: how do I scroll up in terminal? | 22:13 |

| FerretWithASpork | Fuchs: thanks | 22:14 |

| Galvatron | JoeR1: Sorry. Then I'm even more confused. | 22:15 |
| Khisanth | JoeR1: so you actually have 1080 AVIs? :) | 22:16 |
| Tommy | ActionParsnip: lol, reboot fixed my issue | 22:16 |
| FerretWithASpork | So I've got a message: "API Mismatch: The nvidia kernel module has version X, but the nvidia driver component has version Y." Any idea how to solve this O,o? | 22:16 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, thank you for your concise amswer, to be fair I think they are mpgs | 22:16 |
| Tommy | for all the making fun of windows that goes on, saying a reboot fixes anything, i've had so many issues in ubuntu that're fixed by a reboot | 22:16 |
| nnull | ferret, install lucid? :s | 22:16 |
| urlin2u | FerretWithASpork, so did the driver install coincide with no boot to desktop? | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | tommy: +1 nothing wrong with a reboot | 22:17 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: I'm out of ideas and dead-tired | 22:17 |

| ubottu | etotheipi: 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. | 22:17 |
| Tommy | ActionParsnip: but these things shouldn't happen in the first place >.< | 22:17 |
| FerretWithASpork | urlin2u: It may have.. I recently upgraded the driver but didn't have any problems after that. This is my first reboot since then, and it was a hard shutdown thanks to the power outage. | 22:17 |
| rww | ... okay, screw it, I'm mistabbing all over the damn place today. | 22:17 |
| JoeR1 | Galvatron, It appears to me that the answer to my questions lies else where so i shall spend my time investigating | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tommy: welcome to the wonderful world of software operating systems | 22:18 |
| Galvatron | JoeR1: Something might be bad with codecs. Try reinstalling the whole Gstreamer + plugins. | 22:18 |
| urlin2u | FerretWithASpork, okay at the grub menu choose the recovery at the next gui scroll with the arrow keys to failsafe, this is a low graphic boot. | 22:18 |
| Gredeu- | does anyone have the mandela video that was included on a early release of ubuntu ? | 22:19 |

| urlin2u | mirror* | 22:24 |
| rhin0 | sky news journalist (female blonde) yah such a situation | 22:24 |
| Gredeu- | unity launcher is very accessible once you've lined up everything you need | 22:24 |
| Captainkrtek | urlin2u: one is listed as unknown, as in it can't read what resolutions work for it | 22:24 |
| Digitial_delinqu | Hello everyone! | 22:25 |
| P1X3Lz | Hiya | 22:25 |
| urlin2u | Captainkrtek, not sure what cvt is I use the monitor gui | 22:25 |
| nnull | Gredeu-, Figure out how to move it from the left to the bottom of the screen any any chance? | 22:25 |
| Gredeu- | nnull, i keep it where it is | 22:25 |
| Digitial_delinqu | Recently I instantiated a copy of Ubuntu 11.04 and now stand interested to convert it to encrypted LVM absent the requisite of doing a de novo installation, does anyone have any instructions? | 22:26 |
| rhin0 | 11.04 = ok | 22:26 |
| rhin0 | v nice graphics driverrs very smooth | 22:27 |
| nnull | not sure its moveable at all, had a quick poke through gconf, no luck, but meh, im using classic anyway, i find it too slow(frame laggy) for my use | 22:27 |
| Digitial_delinqu | It's tha latest variant I believe (11.04) | 22:27 |
| rhin0 | yes | 22:27 |
| rhin0 | its the one with the unity desktop its ubuntu competes with apple | 22:27 |
| Digitial_delinqu | any suggestions on how best to enunciate such a conversion? | 22:27 |
| rhin0 | its an apple desktop | 22:27 |
| FerretWithASpork | urlin2u: So I got it up in low graphics mode.. It looks essentially the same as in standard mode, but no compositing.. should I try to downgrade my graphics drivers? | 22:27 |
| Gredeu- | i have flashbacks of using mac. it was really not as nice of an exerience as i believed it to be. | 22:28 |
| Khisanth | JoeR1: you might want to try the latest(not yet released) mplayer which is supposed to have multi threaded playback support so it could use both your cores instead of just one | 22:28 |
| urlin2u | FerretWithASpork, not sure really just trying to get you in to break it more. ;-) | 22:28 |
| Gredeu- | window borders were awkward. fonts were unclear | 22:28 |
| Captainkrtek | urlin2u: I like to as well, but it's not working | 22:29 |
| JoeR1 | Khisanth, That is an excellent idea, also I am looking into XBMC which has better support for very high bit rates as I understand | 22:29 |
| Captainkrtek | anyone know where xorg.conf is located in 11.04? I can't find it in /etc/X11, I do see a xorg.conf in my home dir but it doesn't look to be correct | 22:29 |

| tomodachi | Captainkrtek: there is usually none its all autoconf | 22:30 |
| urlin2u | Captainkrtek, have you run a update with the monitor plugged in, not sure if that worksd for getting a driver for it though. | 22:30 |
| JoeR1 | Khisanth, I assume I will have to compile an mplayer beta then? | 22:30 |
| tomodachi | Captainkrtek: but you can create it | 22:30 |
| FerretWithASpork | urlin2u: Breaking linux is what i'm best at :# | 22:30 |
| Captainkrtek | nnull: I did, it can't find it, did updatedb before | 22:30 |
| Captainkrtek | urlin2u: no updates | 22:30 |

I was able to set this up in CentOS really easily, but Ubuntu has like 49856 different instructions... none of which are cohesive... 80% require gitosis which doesn't seem to even do something this basic easily... are there any instructions on how to set up a git server on ubuntu that doesn't re | 22:44 |
| TheEmpath2 | quire wacky third party nonsense? | 22:44 |
| linn00b | Dr_Willis: yes, alongside gnome | 22:44 |
| Dr_Willis | linn00b: so you login to 'gnome' from the GDM screen and its using xmonad? How did you tell it to do that? | 22:44 |
| linn00b | I think what did me in was this "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad --type string | 22:45 |
| linn00b | " | 22:45 |
| linn00b | like that | 22:45 |
| linn00b | but I just want to undo it :/ | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | linn00b: you could use the gconf-editor and look for that string and change it back, or just delete it.. | 22:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I installed dpkg-dev and used dpkg-scanpackages to generate a Packages file and then made a Packages.gz file. Thats all there is in my repo structure. Pool and Packages.gz | 22:45 |
| Dr_Willis | linn00b: or reset your gnome settings some other way. | 22:45 |
| linn00b | Dr_Willis: hmm... okay. I shall attempt to do that. | 22:46 |

| glebihan | LinuxGuy2009, read step 3 of that guide for help on signing your repository : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptMoveHowto | 22:46 |
| funkyHat | TheEmpath2: I would suggest using gitolite (or gitosis, but gitolite is somewhat more featureful). The advantage of those is that you don't have to set up proper shell accounts for each user, and users are limited to only using git on your server, not having access to any command | 22:47 |

| Lafiir | Also, when logging in, it takes some 20-30 seconds until the Desktop is shown. I am not sure, but I think its considerably slower then some days ago (can't quite put it, and yes I know this is a bit vague). Anyway: what is Ubuntu doing in that time that could take so long? | 22:55 |
| funkyHat | TheEmpath2: if you want to try the version of gitolite from the repos I can probably help with that, as that's what I'm using (I used gitosis a while ago but have switched) | 22:55 |

| Lafiir | I tried looking at syslog, but couldn't spot anything obvious (for a linux-beginner anyway) | 22:56 |

| surge | I can't get the .iso to install | 23:00 |
| pteague | lol | 23:00 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, 7.10 is WAY unsupported, don't install it | 23:00 |
| dan_ | hello i am looking for a little advice with xubuntu 11.04 | 23:00 |
| TheEmpath2 | funkyHat: Ah, I had to hack my pub key and I think I'm moving foward with gitosis now | 23:00 |
| pteague | popey, thanks :) | 23:00 |
| funkyHat | TheEmpath2: cool :) | 23:00 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, what ? | 23:00 |
| popey | surge: 7.10 is very old, whether its genuine or not! | 23:01 |
| surge | i see | 23:01 |
| surge | i guess that's why it doesn't work | 23:01 |
| ansak-onepost | Q about Narwhal, grub, disks etc.: Installed Narwhal on SATA-drive 2 where SATA-drive0 contains CentOS and I think Narwhal wrote grub on drive0 that points to drive2. | 23:01 |
| zykotick9 | glebihan, major TAB fail there, sorry | 23:01 |
| glebihan | zykotick9, np | 23:01 |
| zykotick9 | surge, 7.10 is WAY unsupported, don't install it | 23:01 |
| ansak-onepost | When I boot of drive-0 it whirrs, spins, brings up natty off of drive-2 -- that's why I think that. | 23:02 |
| ansak-onepost | Reasonable? | 23:02 |
| prajwal | hii | 23:02 |
| prajwal | I am facing ussue playing flash on fullscreen | 23:02 |
| prajwal | the video is slow | 23:02 |
| prajwal | poor rendering | 23:02 |
| ansak-onepost | What I want: grub on drive-0 points to /boot on drive 0, boots CentOS; grub on drive-2 points to /boot on drive 2, boots narwhal. | 23:02 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, flash is poor on gnu/linux - especially on 64bit (with 32bit flash) | 23:03 |
| ansak-onepost | Is that a reasonable thing to want? Is it as simple as running grub-install in magical ways? | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, not too much you can do about it though :( | 23:03 |
| ansak-onepost | (that i'll run off to rtfa in order to achieve) | 23:03 |
| prajwal | hmmm thats so bad :( | 23:03 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, what graphics card are you using though? does it support drivers? | 23:03 |
| jdkdklll | hi to all. | 23:04 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, the bootscript will tel you where grub is and more. | 23:04 |
| ansak-onepost | "the bootscript" located at... /boot/grub/grub.cfg for instance? | 23:04 |
| prajwal | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 23:05 |
| prajwal | integrated | 23:05 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, intel = Open Source, thus the drivers are also as good as possible | 23:05 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, no here http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 23:05 |
| ansak-onepost | better. thanks... (runs off into a corner) | 23:05 |
| jdkdklll | ive got postfix logs saying mail has been sent from the system but i only ever use web mail never email or chat programs running in ubuntu-so sorry for stupid question what is postfix sending from my computer? | 23:05 |
| jdkdklll | is it something to do with firewall? | 23:06 |
| glebihan | jdkdklll, first question, why do you have postfix installed ? | 23:06 |
| prajwal | it was good in my 32 bit kubuntu | 23:06 |
| prajwal | but now it sucks | 23:06 |
| ProphetZ | Sitting at the Wheel Of Death... it usually starts up quicker than this from CD... | 23:06 |
| jdkdklll | no idea why it was on there | 23:06 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, are you now using 64bit? | 23:07 |
| prajwal | yes | 23:07 |
| Lafiir | Does Hibernate/Suspend on notebooks usually work on 11.04, like ever? I found a lot of threads with issues all over the place. | 23:07 |
| glebihan | jdkdklll, is it a desktop or server edition ? | 23:07 |
| jdkdklll | umm... | 23:07 |
| zykotick9 | prajwal, i'm not sure why ubuntu is behind on supporting 64bit flash, even debian already has it. Good luck. | 23:07 |
| jdkdklll | hold on | 23:07 |
| bambanx | Guys how i can complete delete a program? | 23:08 |
| prajwal | bambanx: purge it | 23:08 |
| KM0201 | bambanx: sudo apt-get autoremove program_name ? | 23:08 |
| === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi | ||
| glebihan | bambanx, sudo apt-get purge packagename | 23:08 |
| zykotick9 | KM0201, autoremove? are you sure about that? | 23:08 |
| glebihan | KM0201, that won't work | 23:08 |
| KM0201 | zykotick9: i think so... i always use autoremove... guess i'm not completely removing it then | 23:09 |
| jdkdklll | PC postfix/master[1471]: reload -- version 2.8.2, configuration /etc/postfix | 23:09 |
| bambanx | if i am not sure about the exact name of the package , how can i search it ? | 23:09 |
| bambanx | i try which namepackage but dont find | 23:09 |
| ProphetZ | urlin2u, I clicked on Try, to boot the desktop from CD but now it's giving me the Spinning Wheel Of Death (Mac-ified hourglass cursor). It worked fine before I tried Install... | 23:09 |
| glebihan | bambanx, what is the application ? | 23:09 |
| zykotick9 | KM0201, autoremove is a command in itself, not requiring a package name (it's to remove dependencies no longer required), it's not purge | 23:09 |
| bambanx | komodo | 23:09 |
| Aple | Hey guys, I'm trying to call an application via terminal (Sublime Text to be exact). What would be the best way to do that? Sublime Text is in /opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text.exe | 23:09 |
| KM0201 | hmm, maybe i'm hallucinating.. could've swore i used autoremove that way before.. | 23:10 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, is it a apple computer? | 23:10 |
| jdkdklll | its under mail.log and mail.log1 files | 23:10 |
| === luigi is now known as Muhammad | ||
| glebihan | bambanx, try "apt-cache search komodo" to find the package name | 23:10 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, .exe - are you calling this with wine? | 23:10 |
| === Muhammad is now known as Guest1670 | ||
| === Guest1670 is now known as \l | ||
| glebihan | bambanx, how did you install it ? komodo isn't in ubuntu's repositories | 23:11 |
| Aple | zykotick9: No, I was just trying to add it to terminal. | 23:11 |
| ProphetZ | urlin2u, no! | 23:11 |
| Aple | So I could do something like "sublime index.html" | 23:11 |
| bambanx | i download the tar | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, but .exe is a windows program | 23:11 |
| Aple | And it launch Sublime | 23:11 |
| Aple | o rly? | 23:11 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, mono then? | 23:11 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, what is the cpu and ram? | 23:12 |
| glebihan | bambanx, then unless there was an uninstall script in the tar, there's no way to uninstall it | 23:12 |
| bambanx | apt-cache search dont show me anything | 23:12 |
| bambanx | in the doc say delete de komodo folders | 23:12 |
| Aple | zykotick9: I'm not sure what mono is, but I can double click it and it will launch Sublime. | 23:12 |
| glebihan | bambanx, apt-cache won't find it as it isn't in the repos | 23:12 |
| bambanx | but i cannot find it | 23:12 |
| === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi | ||
| bambanx | exist other way to find the folders? | 23:13 |
| glebihan | bambanx, look for /usr/lib/komodo and /usr/share/komod maybe | 23:13 |
| bambanx | ok | 23:13 |
| jdkdklll | its got program for managing a netfilter firewall package with it so no idea if i got it whilst installing firestarter or if it came with ubuntu disc | 23:13 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, "file /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2/sublime_text.exe" | 23:13 |
| ProphetZ | 2.2ghz Celeron with only 256mb of RAM, but the desktop worked before from CD and was only using 24mb of RAM. I also have the exact same issue on a 2.8ghz Core2 Duo with 4gb of RAM. | 23:13 |
| glebihan | bambanx, you could also run "find / -name komodo" to find the files | 23:13 |
| yeats | bambanx: you could try 'sudo updatedb' and 'locate komodo' | 23:13 |
| jdkdklll | no that cant be right. I dont know | 23:14 |
| Aple | zykotick9: I'll have to type that in every time I want to launch sublime from the command line? | 23:14 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, no, that will tell you/me what that file is | 23:14 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, your back with your dream, the de was not working with that amount that was a bad read, why are you bothering with this and us to. | 23:14 |
| bambanx | locate works | 23:15 |
| bambanx | men i have a lot of folders with komodo :S | 23:15 |
| ProphetZ | Celeron has XP Home SP3 and Core2 Duo has Windows 7 Ultimate. I literally can't install ANYTHING on either machine. Only booting from CD works. | 23:15 |
| Aple | zykotick9: It said no such file or dir | 23:15 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, run a lighter distro and get it over with or bump the ram. | 23:16 |
| jdkdklll | will it kill anything if i remove postfix. if its sending mail from root to root whats that? or just from root to message id 20110821163401.80608280DB9 (then computer name) to nowhere | 23:16 |
| scythefwd_ | having issues with glx based screen savers using natty. Anyone else having this issue... System won't wake back up after going to sleep, but only with open gl screensavers again | 23:16 |
| bambanx | look this pls http://pastebin.com/nK9ht9YD | 23:16 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, ok change to the directory then "cd /opt/Sublime\ Text" then "file sublime_text.exe" or did you just make that path up? | 23:16 |
| ProphetZ | No distro works. I've tried six of them now. | 23:16 |
| pecos | what are the estimated gnu Ubuntu Linux users in the world ? | 23:16 |
| Aple | Ah, 1 sec | 23:16 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, have you tried puppylinux | 23:16 |
| Aple | It's not an .exe like I thought | 23:17 |
| bambanx | in console how can delete this folders? | 23:17 |
| ProphetZ | RAM tests OK and is within requirements. I tested on my desktop and have the same issue with 4gb of RAM. | 23:17 |
| Aple | zykotick9: I ran it w/o the .exe and it returned: /opt/Sublime Text 2/sublime_text: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped | 23:17 |
| glebihan | jdkdklll, if you don't know why postfix is there you can remove it safely | 23:17 |
| jdkdklll | ok thanks | 23:17 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, so it's NOT an .exe - that makes more sense | 23:17 |
| Aple | hehe sorry :) | 23:17 |
| scythefwd_ | prophetz - is your HD supported by the live CD and can you view the partition setup? | 23:18 |
| === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi | ||
| Aple | In properties it says it's an executable and on Windows it shows up as .exe. My bad. :) | 23:18 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, so what do you want to do with it? man a menu entry? | 23:18 |
| Aple | man? | 23:18 |
| zykotick9 | sorry s/man/make/ | 23:18 |
| ProphetZ | urlin2u I tried that from a thumbdrive last night: Boots from the USB when commanded with F12 but will NOT pass reboot during Install to the hard drive. | 23:18 |
| bambanx | glebihan look this pls http://pastebin.com/nK9ht9YD | 23:18 |
| Aple | I'd like to set it so in terminal I can type "sublime index.html" and it pop up sublime with index.html loaded | 23:18 |
| Lafiir | After installing Ubuntu Disk Utility shows my main sda1 partition, a 2GB swap (sda5) and another 2GB extended (sda2). What is the last used for? | 23:18 |
| Aple | is that a menu entry? | 23:18 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, have you tried puppylinux | 23:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: you would need to make a script to do that i imagine. | 23:19 |
| ProphetZ | urlin2u yes, see above statement. | 23:19 |
| Aple | o rly? It's not as simple as linking it or something? | 23:19 |
| glebihan | bambanx, what is that ? | 23:19 |
| leejohn | hi guys, I had been task to deploy a roaming profile like on linux and it's going great now i'm going to throw kerberos on the fix for SSO but it's really a great pain | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, not exactly - the problem is you'd have to be in the same directory as index.html - just add the /opt/Sublime\ Text\ 2 to your PATH - .bashrc can be used for this. | 23:19 |
| bambanx | is the folders with komodo | 23:19 |
| Aple | Seems like I should be able to ask Terminal to open a program with a file | 23:19 |
| leejohn | on the mix | 23:19 |
| scythefwd_ | the extended is just a second type of partition. You can have up to 4 primary partitions, and each primary can have an extended partition... | 23:19 |
| bambanx | how can i delete it on console | 23:19 |
| bambanx | sudo rm -r ? | 23:19 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, okay with puppy you have to install the bootloader on the install. | 23:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: what/where is this command from anyway? paths with spaces in the name.. are going to be annoying :) | 23:19 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, you won't need the \ when you add it to your PATH (i don't think) | 23:20 |
| glebihan | bambanx, what command did give you that output ? | 23:20 |
| Aple | I'll wrap in quotes when I add to bashrc | 23:20 |
| pteague | hmm... is the memtest86+ on the *buntu discs unable to check ddr3 ram? | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: be easier to just movce it to /opt/SiblimeText2 :) | 23:20 |
| zelozelos | anyone know why the mouse pointer dosent change when i change it by editing the theme's pointer? it did work at first but now its not again, it will change if i edit the index.theme file but i dont want to have to do that every time i change mouse pointers | 23:20 |
| Dr_Willis | may want to keep it all lower case also. just to save on issues later. | 23:21 |
| Dr_Willis | zelozelos: ive seen it not change till yuou log out/back in. some apps wont see the change, so will show the old pointer untill they get restarted. | 23:21 |
| froes | hi guys... i am using 10.10 ... wanted to upgrade .... shouold i use aptitude safe-upgrade or aptitude full-upgrade ? | 23:21 |
| zykotick9 | zelozelos, most likely culprit is compiz - see if disabling compiz corrects the pointer issue (i don't know a real solution) | 23:21 |
| ProphetZ | scythefwd_, the one in the desktop is supported, unsure about the laptop, but it's a Dell so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't. I'm trying to boot from CD and view the partitions again but nothing is working since I tried Install. | 23:21 |
| rww | !upgrade | froes | 23:21 |
| ubottu | froes: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:21 |
| Dr_Willis | froes: you mean upgrade to the next release? | 23:21 |
| rww | froes: (neither) | 23:21 |
| bambanx | locate komodo glebihan | 23:22 |
| dageriv | help me play silverlight content in firefox? moonlight plugin was not compatible with my firefox 6.0 | 23:22 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: Moved ;) | 23:22 |
| Dr_Willis | dageriv: so it used to work in FF5 ? | 23:22 |
| dageriv | Dr_Willis: no, never tried | 23:22 |
| zykotick9 | bambanx, did you run "make install" to install this? If so, in future, use checkinstall instead - then uninstall is easy. | 23:22 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: Time to add it to my path in bashrc | 23:22 |
| froes | Dr_Willis, yeap | 23:22 |
| Dr_Willis | dageriv: so what are you trying to play exactgly? | 23:22 |
| bambanx | sh install | 23:23 |
| froes | Dr_Willis, next release 11.04 | 23:23 |
| === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi | ||
| zelozelos | Dr_Willis, thats true, and zykotick9 thats true as well, it IS probably compiz causing the issues, i wish it would get fixed...heh its been around long enough to be corrected by now | 23:23 |
| dageriv | Dr_Willis: its a radio stream, which is silverlight | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | dageriv: if it has DRM protection it wont work in Moonlight. | 23:23 |
| glebihan | bambanx, that output is weird... | 23:23 |
| Aple | Anyone know the command to add something to PATH via .bashrc? | 23:23 |
| zykotick9 | mono/moolight = FAIL | 23:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: if you want it permenant.. you edit the .bashrc or .profile as needed | 23:24 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, you edit the .bashrc, it's not a command | 23:24 |
| Aple | Right, sorry, I meant the "snippet" | 23:24 |
| Aple | Or "line of code" | 23:24 |
| Aple | export right? | 23:24 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a example in the file Aple i belive | 23:24 |
| froes | Dr_Willis, next release 11.04 | 23:25 |
| bambanx | what you mean glebihan | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | froes: then you use the proper update tool. Not aptitude, or apt-get... | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | froes | 23:25 |
| ubottu | froes: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:25 |
| froes | is this the one i should use ??? sudo do-release-upgrade ?? | 23:25 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: I didn't see one. | 23:25 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, would be nice if there was a PATH example, i don't have one | 23:25 |
| Dr_Willis | # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" | 23:26 |
| glebihan | bambanx, well it doesn't look like a simple list of files, there are also all those "ln -s ..." and I don't know what there's doing there | 23:26 |
| bambanx | ok | 23:26 |
| urlin2u | froes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH:/newstuff/here" | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | Aple, looks like Dr_Willis found that in .profile not .bashrc | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | or similer. :) | 23:27 |
| ProphetZ | How can I tell if the bootloader has been properly installed to sda0? | 23:27 |
| urlin2u | ProphetZ, in puppy? | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | ProphetZ, do you really want the bootloader on the partition? ususally it goes on the MBR | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | ProphetZ: sda0 ? never seen one with a 0... | 23:27 |
| zykotick9 | Dr_Willis, even better observation | 23:28 |
| Aple | Don't think I have a .profile | 23:28 |
| Aple | nm, there it is | 23:29 |
| ProphetZ | Oh... I may be remembering wrong. I'm still trying to boot from CD again (third disk, a known good Ubuntu 11.04 this time) | 23:29 |
| froes | is this the one i should use ??? sudo do-release-upgrade ?? | 23:29 |
| Aple | Yeah, thanks | 23:29 |
| froes | well... do anyone knows anything about upgrading this by command line ????? | 23:29 |
| urlin2u | froes, are you headless=no DE | 23:29 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: Now, could I symlink Sublime to ~/bin and for that matter, any app, and they be in the path? | 23:30 |
| scythefwd_ | zyko - He may be dual booting and not want the boot loader in the MBR to keep from screwing up a windows 7 install? | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: unless the app needs to be ran from its own dir... | 23:30 |
| zykotick9 | urlin2u, headless means no monitor, not no DE | 23:30 |
| Aple | Ah, I see. | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: you can try it and see | 23:30 |
| ProphetZ | Maybe the CD drive is failing? Awfully noisy seeking all over... | 23:30 |
| Aple | Think I will. Thanks Dr_Willis | 23:30 |
| Krenair | Can you use the classic desktop in 11.10? | 23:30 |
| froes | urlin2u, yeap | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: its being removed. | 23:31 |
| zykotick9 | Krenair, nope - they're removing it | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: its there now.. but it is scheduled to be removed | 23:31 |
| freezway | so why does my ubuntu cd not show up when i look at the boot options on my friends macbook | 23:31 |
| ProphetZ | But no, because the desktop does the same thing... Ubuntu is loading now. I will post drive screenshot. | 23:31 |
| Krenair | So you can't even install it from the package manager? | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: its there now.. but it is scheduled to be removed....... | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: i imagine in after gnome-shell gets commonly used. there will be themes/things for it to make it look like classic/old gnome. | 23:32 |
| zykotick9 | Krenair, classic is being replaced with Unity 2D - if you want gnome start looking for another distro... | 23:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Gnome2 you mean.. :) any sort of classic gnome is basically going to be gnome-3 modified. | 23:33 |
| ProphetZ | I didn't like the Unity desktop, incidentally. Gnome seemed more sensible. | 23:33 |
| bambanx | how can i see a log of my console ? | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ProphetZ: theres alternatie desktops. | 23:33 |
| bambanx | of what i was writed | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | bambanx: log of what exactly? | 23:33 |
| zykotick9 | bambanx, "history" | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean your command history bambanx > | 23:33 |
| bambanx | yes | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | bambanx: history command... :) | 23:33 |
| bambanx | and output | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | one of those hard to rember commands... Outpyt is another thing entirely. | 23:34 |
| zykotick9 | bambanx, i don't think there is a log of output as well | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | typescript can record a log of your terminal session. | 23:34 |
| bambanx | i install a program and i dont remember some things | 23:34 |
| bambanx | so i wanna see again | 23:34 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: Apparently sublime needs to run from it's own dir. :) | 23:35 |
| Aple | Opens, but with a billion warnings | 23:35 |
| iceroot_ | how to see the dependencies from a (not) installed package without using packages.ubuntu.com? i need some apt-get/aptitude stuff | 23:35 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, "apt-cache depends foo" or "apt-cache rdpends foo" for the reverse | 23:36 |
| edbian | iceroot_: aptitude show <packageName> | 23:36 |
| zykotick9 | edbian, aptitude - showing your debian strips again ;) | 23:37 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: edbian thank you | 23:37 |
| Krenair | <Dr_Willis> Gnome2 you mean.. :) any sort of classic gnome is basically going to be gnome-3 modified. | 23:37 |
| edbian | iceroot_: My solution does not show the entire dependency tree | 23:37 |
| edbian | zykotick9: :) | 23:37 |
| Krenair | I don't mind as long as it behaves and looks exactly like 10.04/10.10 defaults | 23:37 |
| Krenair | All I want to know is if it's worth continuing with running ubuntu. | 23:37 |
| zykotick9 | Krenair, 11.04 will by your last Ubuntu with an appearance like 10.04/10.10 | 23:38 |
| Krenair | I used to run 10.10. Then I switched to 11.04. Didn't like it so went back to 10.04. | 23:38 |
| Krenair | If 11.10 wont be allowing classic desktop like 11.04 does then it's not an option for me. | 23:38 |
| iceroot_ | zykotick9: apt-cache depends vim is showing vim-common which depends on libc6 but apt-cache depends is not showing libc6. i want the full dependency-tree | 23:39 |
| nnull | Krenair, im sure the devs will take that into consideration. :) | 23:39 |
| zykotick9 | iceroot_, sorry that i don't know | 23:39 |
| urlin2u | Krenair, have you tried xfce? | 23:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: its never going to be exactly.. | 23:39 |
| ProphetZ | Good lord, 100mhz RAM... Good thing all I want is a sacrificial lamb. | 23:39 |
| Dr_Willis | i imgine in a year there will be very few distors with gnome2 any more. | 23:39 |
| urlin2u | aka xubuntu | 23:39 |
| rww | Krenair: GNOME 2 is dead. Clinging to it is just going to end with you getting frustrated and eventually switching anyway. | 23:40 |
| Krenair | I'm not clinging to gnome 2, I want the look/behaviour it provides | 23:40 |
| urlin2u | stella,stella | 23:40 |
| edbian | Krenair: check out xfce | 23:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: all i can say is try other desktops... gnome2 is really lacking in many ways once you broden your horizions | 23:40 |
| rww | Krenair: 11.04 has classic, 11.10 and above will have GNOME 3 Fallback. They're not exactly perfect replications, but it's the closest I know of. | 23:41 |
| Phr3d13 | has a tool ever been made to defrag an ntfs drive from ubuntu? | 23:41 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: I can't get this working. :( | 23:41 |
| freezway | how can i get a macbook to boot from a ubuntu cd | 23:41 |
| Krenair | Dr_Willis, I care not for gnome2 but for the ubuntu classic desktop which it supports. | 23:41 |
| scythefwd_ | anyone know if there is a way to make the boot loader menu prettier... seriously, this is 2011, we really don't need plain test menus any more | 23:42 |
| Krenair | If gnome3 can support the look/feel of ubuntu classic then it should be fine | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Krenair: the classic desktop is not identical to gnome2 either.. | 23:42 |
| tensorpudding | gnome 3 won't support it | 23:42 |
| tensorpudding | gnome 3 is changing a lot of things | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | there will no doubt be gnome-2 type themes for gnome-3 - it wont be identical i imagine | 23:42 |
| tensorpudding | it's the biggest change to gnome ever | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | tensorpudding, i find gnome3 fallback "similar" to gnome2 | 23:42 |
| rww | Dr_Willis: yeah, that's the ironic thing. Ubuntu GNOME 2 is notably different from upstream GNOME 2 :\ | 23:42 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: I've added export PATH=/opt/SublimeText2:$PATH to .profile. Sourced .bashrc, and sublime_text command does nothing. | 23:42 |
| me-alone | hi...how is ubuntu support for ARM..?? | 23:43 |
| rww | as I understand it, Fallback and Shell in oneiric are going to be more upstream | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: chedk your path. try which sublime_text | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: and you may need to export PATH and sourceing your .bashrc can often get redundant entries in the PATH | 23:43 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: Oh crap. Was sourcing bashrc, not profile | 23:44 |
| Aple | Got it working, but it's still throwing errors out the wahzoo | 23:44 |
| Aple | Gtk-WARNING's | 23:45 |
| Aple | Failed to load type module | 23:45 |
| Aple | Seems to throw those anyway. Huh... | 23:46 |
| Aple | Sonufabitch | 23:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Aple: now try cding into that bins directory. It MIGHT need to be ran from its own home dir. | 23:46 |
| MagicJ | I have a system with an internal mic and also a socket for a mic, it is a netbook. for some reason when I go to the sound options it only offers me the internal sound card as inoput - how do I select the mics | 23:47 |
| Dr_Willis | cd /opt/siblimetext2 then run 'sublime_text' not ./sublime_text :) see if either one works or both | 23:47 |
| Phr3d13 | has a tool ever been made to defrag an ntfs drive from ubuntu? | 23:48 |
| edbian | Phr3d13: No | 23:48 |
| Dr_Willis | if sublime_text works after you cd.. well you may need to ake a script to allow running it from anywehre | 23:48 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, so the boot info script told me what I wanted, or rather began to. | 23:48 |
| urlin2u | Phr3d13, any windows disk can start one though. | 23:48 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, cool an excellent tool. ;-) | 23:49 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, yes, well i'm not home-n-dry yet. | 23:49 |

| drag0nz | anyone here managed to use Unity on the latest ubuntu on vmware? | 23:54 |
| urlin2u | ansak-onepost, all the text from the RESULTS.txt | 23:55 |
| ansak-onepost | <parallel process looking at info grub> | 23:55 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, coming right up... | 23:55 |
| zykotick9 | drag0nz, not possible | 23:55 |
| del | I'm trying to upgrade 9.04 jaunty, but not working. do-release-upgrade complains "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid' is not supported with this tool." | 23:55 |
| drag0nz | zykes-, is there a reason why its not possible? | 23:55 |
| del | Is there anything I can do? | 23:55 |
| drag0nz | zykotick9 | 23:55 |
| rww | del: you need to go through karmic. see the EOLUpgrade link: | 23:56 |
| rww | !eol | 23:56 |
| 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 | 23:56 |
| urlin2u | del, hard road past end of life. | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | drag0nz, yes, vmware doesn't have the 3d support required for it | 23:56 |
| tensorpudding | del: you would need to upgrade to karmic | 23:56 |
| urlin2u | del, 9.10 as well | 23:56 |
| zykotick9 | drag0nz, vbox does, but it's FAR from perfect | 23:56 |
| Aple | Dr_Willis: I did. It sucks. | 23:56 |
| tensorpudding | del: karmic isn't supported anymore though | 23:56 |
| tensorpudding | i don't think | 23:56 |
| urlin2u | nope | 23:56 |
| drag0nz | zykotick9, so its an issue with vmware then, no matter how many resources you allocated to the virtual machine? | 23:56 |
| tensorpudding | del: non-LTS releases aren't supported very long | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !karmic | 23:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://goo.gl/UUTAB for details. | 23:57 |
| zykotick9 | drag0nz, you aren't going to get it working, period. As i said, VBox has better support for it. | 23:57 |
| del | So this system is hosed? | 23:57 |
| rww | del: no, follow the instructions I had ubottu link you to | 23:58 |
| Guest12947 | Hello | 23:58 |
| del | How can I upgrade to karmic? | 23:58 |
| === Praxi_ is now known as Praxi | ||
| Dr_Willis | del: you have to upgrade to the next release and so on till you get to a LTS release - then you can go LTS to LTS. | 23:58 |
| wilder | Anybody formillar with running COD black ops in 10.10 | 23:59 |
| ansak-onepost | http://paste.ubuntu.com/672014/ | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | if the release is so old its EOL> you may need to cahnge your sources.list to point to the archive servers like the !EOL factoid says | 23:59 |
| japan | can anybody helps me about xampp, i installed,sterted it, but in browser it doesnt open localhost, it says page not exist | 23:59 |
| rww | !xampp | 23:59 |
| ubottu | We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 23:59 |
| Guest12947 | Good evening! (or good morning, etc, depending on where you are!) I'm wondering who/where to ask about getting help with a samba problem? | 23:59 |
| ansak-onepost | urlin2u, that file was bigger than the last time -- silly me, trying to paste it page-by-page from a root vim session. | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest12947: just ask in here.. you may want to pick a real nick also. | 23:59 |
